SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting the conclusion of last
week’s episode of Frequency, with Scythe pinning Mike Griffin in a six-man tag
team match, only for Griffin to become furious after the pinfall, locking
Scythe in the Culmination and refusing to let go as the broadcast came to a
close.
The opening credits then roll as
Troy: Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen, and welcome to the one hundredth episode of PWA Frequency! I’m Victor Troy, along here with Paul
Ferrara, and tonight is the night we’ve all been waiting for! One hundred weeks in the making, Frequency is
brought to you tonight live from historic
Ferrara: That’s right,
Troy: That’s right, it’s going to be
Darrin Giles, who beat you, Paul, two weeks ago on Frequency, up against Damien
Fields, who lost to Kris Anthony three weeks ago. Currently, Giles is unbeaten in the
tournament, while Fields has one loss.
If Giles wins tonight, he joins the PWA roster immediately. If Fields wins, the two will rematch next
week on Frequency at
Troy: Well Paul, I don’t know how anyone
can wrestle sixty minutes and not feel some kind of…
Suddenly, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis blasts onto the speakers,
prompting the New York crowd to explode in raucous, disbelieving cheers!
Troy:
What the hell?!
Then, the volume of the cheers increases tenfold as from the stage emerges
the man, the myth, the legend, the one and only Iceman, Jason Calysto!
Troy:
It is! It is him! My God, Jason Calysto is here!
Ferrara: This is unbelievable! I thought he was retired!
Troy: He is retired! Machine retired him at Revival in
December! But what the hell is he doing
here tonight?!
As deafening “Iceman” chants fill Rockefeller Center, Calysto grabs a
microphone and heads into the ring, a smile on his face.
Calysto:
Alright, I know I’m retired, but do you really think I could miss the
one hundredth episode of Frequency?
C’mon! Frequency is back here in
my backyard, New York City, celebrating its episode number 100, and I’m here to
share in the festivities. After all, one
year ago, the last time we were at Rockefeller Center, I beat Jaguar to win the
PWA title for a second time. I’m sure
you all remember that. Also, I want to
remind all of you that voting for the first inductions to the Hall of Fame are
going on now, and your votes would be appreciated. I figured I’d come out here and remind you
all of exactly who I am. But as for
tonight, I’m going to spend the night hanging out with Victor Troy and Paul
Ferrara at the commentary table. Believe
me, commentary is nothing I can’t handle.
So, it was good talking to you people again, enjoy the show.
With that, “F*ckin in the Bushes” hits again and Calysto leaves the ring,
heading for the commentary table.
Troy:
Alright, it looks like Jason Calysto will be joining us for the night!
Ferrara: This should be interesting.
Calysto: It certainly should. Let me tell you, it’s been six months since
the last time I’ve appeared on this show, and being back here, it feels like I
never left.
Ferrara: So Calysto, what’s the
deal? I thought you were retired.
Calysto: I am retired, Paul. Just because I’m retired doesn’t mean I can’t
come out here and do some commentary.
This is a one-time thing. This is
the one hundredth episode, this is a big deal, and I want to be a part of
it. I’ve been bored the last six months,
and now I’ve come back for a night of excitement.
Troy: Well you sure picked a great night
for it, because we…
SEGMENT 2:
RINGSIDE:
With the crowd
still buzzing from Jason Calysto's shocking return, boos flood the air as Troy
is cut off and TOOL's "Parabola" begins. Hollywood Mike Griffin
appears on the stage and scoffs at the crowd before making a pyro-less
power walk down to the ring. Griffin climbs into the ring and the crowd
gets on Griffin early. The Jumbotron shows a sign in the front row with a boot
on it, symbolic of Griffin's departure in the Golden Ring tournament.
Troy: Oh man, is he serious?! This is the
100th episode of Frequency!
Ferrara: He sure looks serious to me.
Calysto: It's not surprising. This guy has
always been a big crybaby and apparently his diaper is wet again tonight.
Griffin grabs a
folding chair and the crowd becomes riotous in its jeering as he unfolds it and
takes a seat.
Troy: These people paid to see a great show
and look at this despicable display from Griffin!
Calysto: Maybe he needs to be burped or
something. I know for a fact he isn't breast-feeding, that's for sure.
"Understanding
in a Car Crash" by Thursday hits and the crowd finally cheers again as PWA
Owner Bryan Conroy marches down the ramp and steps into the ring. Griffin
remains seated as Conroy takes another mic from ringside.
Conroy: Get the hell up Griffin; these people
came to see a show and that's what they're gonna see, so get off your ass
dammit!
Griffin rises and
stares right through Conroy as he kicks the chair away.
Conroy: Now listen to what I have to say. I
was at the Liacouras Center last night, and what I saw at Temple University was
Jackie Baccaro pin you 1,2,3 and win that match. (Crowd cheers) However, you
were right. Scythe's interference might have cost you that match, but the
referee's decision was final and Jackie Baccaro has moved on to the Elite 8,
not you.
Griffin: That isn't fair and you know it
Bryan!
Conroy: Well sometimes life isn't fair Mike!
Now shut the hell up and let me finish! (Long pause as crowd cheers) There was
no need for you to come out here and bitch and moan the way you did, because
I've taken your match last night into consideration and I have named you the
challenger in the PWA Championship match this Saturday at Meltdown. However,
that is all contingent on tonight's main event. If Scythe retains the gold, you
will simply go one-on-one with him at Meltdown for the title. But if The Machine
wins the title this evening, his spot in the Golden Ring tournament would be
vacated and the winner of the Scott Hosemann/Anthony Failla match will recieve
a bye in the Elite 8 round and go directly to the semifinals. As for the title
match at Meltdown, The Machine would then defend the title against you and
Scythe in a triple threat matchup. Now we've seen enough from you today and its
time to get on with this broadcast.
Griffin hops out of
the ring and backpedals up the ramp happily as the camera turns back to Conroy.
Conroy: While I'm out here, I just want to
send out a quick thank you to all the fans and supporters here tonight and out
there at their TV sets for helping us get to episode number 100. Thank you for
all your support and enjoy the show.
"Understanding
in a Car Crash" replays and Conroy steps out of the ring with the crowd
cheering raucously as we head to a commercial break.

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 1: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: PAUL DAWKINS & JACKIE BACCARO © VS. THE
NATURALS:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
Back from commercial, Tom Petty’s “All or Nothin” blasts
onto the speakers and the upstart duo of Greg Price and Kris Anthony – The
Naturals – makes its way to the ring, an air of confidence protruding from their
faces as they prepare to challenge for the gold. As Price and Anthony prepare themselves in
the ring, “Black” by Sevendust blares onto the speakers and the fans cheer
loudly for the reigning Tag Team Champions Paul Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro as
they make their way to the ring with a purpose.
The champions climb into the ring and hand their belts over to the
official as the bell sounds, getting this championship contest underway.
Troy:
Alright, Tag Team titles on the line!
Calysto: This should be a good one. All four of these guys are outstanding
performers.
Ferrara: True, but the Naturals are
gonna take this one. I can feel it.
Dawkins and Price start the match off, locked up in the center of the
ring. Dawkins takes the advantage,
taking Price down with a big hiptoss that gets the crowd going. Price gets back up and slaps Dawkins in the
face, but Dawkins responds with an even bigger slap to Price’s face that floors
the Natural! Price cowers back to his
corner, tagging in Kris Anthony, who rushes into the ring, taking Dawkins down
with a big dropkick. With Dawkins down,
Anthony begins stomping him furiously, lifting him up and tossing him into the
Naturals corner. In the corner, Anthony
tags Price back in, and a double-team ensues.
Jackie Baccaro comes into the ring, looking to break up the double-team,
but referee Tom Stevens stops him. With
Stevens occupied, the Naturals double-team only gets greater, and Dawkins
crumbles to the mat in a heap.
Troy:
C’mon ref!
Calysto: Tom Stevens needs to keep his
attention on this match and not on Baccaro.
Ferrara: I think he’s doing a great job
of officiating.
Price keeps Dawkins isolated in a corner, stomping him into oblivion. Dawkins then stumbles out, but Price downs
him with a huge dropkick. With Dawkins
down on the mat, Price locks him in a Boston Crab, his finishing maneuver!
Troy:
This could be it right here!
Price cinches in the move, but Jackie Baccaro comes into the ring and kicks
Price in the head, breaking up the move!
However, Stevens then ushers Baccaro back to the corner, giving Price
and Anthony another opportunity to utilize the double-team. Without even making a tag, Price and Anthony
switch off, with Price slapping his own hands together as he exits the ring to
simulate the sound of a tag. Anthony
locks Dawkins in a headlock, but Dawkins powers to his feet. Dawkins peppers Anthony with repeated elbows
to the gut, but Anthony follows through with a drop toehold to take Dawkins
down and quiet his momentum. With
Dawkins down, Anthony goes up to the top rope, poised to nail Dawkins with a
flying tornado DDT. However, when
Anthony jumps off Dawkins jumps up and nails the flying Anthony with a big
forearm! With Anthony down, Dawkins
begins crawling to the corner.
Troy:
Here we go, this is Dawkins’ chance!
Ferrara: The Naturals need to prevent
that!
Calysto: They sure do. If Baccaro gets into this match, it’s gonna
be over!
Anthony gets to the corner and makes the tag into Price. Price comes into the ring and lunges at Dawkins,
but before he can reach him Dawkins makes the hot tag into Jackie Baccaro,
sending the fans into a frenzy! Baccaro
comes in and takes down Price viciously, and then goes to Anthony and
clotheslines him out of the ring!
Baccaro then takes Price and hits him with a huge overhead
belly-to-belly suplex! Then, as Price
struggles to his feet, Baccaro stalks him, waiting to deliver his running
forearm!
Troy:
This could be it!
Price gets up to his feet, but Anthony charges back into the ring, bulls Baccaro
into referee Tom Stevens, knocking him down.
Baccaro tumbles out of the ring, and with the referee down, Anthony
brings two chairs into the ring, and hands one to Price. Then, Dawkins gets to his feet, and the
Naturals destroy him with a brutal con-chair-to! The chairs are tossed out of the ring and
Price covers Dawkins as Stevens stirs… one, two, Baccaro rolls into the ring,
three! New champions!
Troy:
No! I don’t believe this!
Calysto: Troy, Paul Dawkins wasn’t the
legal man! Greg Price just pinned
Dawkins, but Jackie Baccaro was the legal man!
Ferrara: Quit whining Calysto, we have
new champions and I, for one, congratulate them!
The fans boo raucously as “All or Nothin” hits and the new Tag Team
Champions escape like thieves in the nights, leaving behind an unconscious
Dawkins and an irate Baccaro as we cut to commercial.
WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 14:58 AND NEW TAG
TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE NATURALS
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #2 --
SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, Traci Reed attempts to get a word
with The Naturals, the new Tag Team Champions, who are popping champagne and
celebrating raucously.
Traci:
Greg Price, Kris Anthony, you two have just stolen the titles from Paul
Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro. You used
steel chairs and pinned the illegal man.
How can you feel good about this?
Price: Traci, you’re obviously nothing
more than a blonde-haired bimbo who knows nothing about anything. However we got the job done, we got it done,
and we are now the greatest tag team in the world, just like we said we were.
Anthony: We told everyone that we would
be the champions, and now we are. When
we make a promise to people, we follow through.
And now Traci, these titles will be ours forever.
Price: …Naturally.
SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: GOLDEN RING TOURNAMENT: THIRD ROUND:
SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN VS. ANTHONY FAILLA:
Referee:
Dan Martin
"Superstar II" by Saliva hits and the crowd
erupts into a storm of boos as Justin Schenck bursts through the curtain,
quickly followed by his client, Superstar Scott Hosemann. As usual, it's
impossible to tell what's on Hosemann's mind aside from his desire to cause as
much damage as possible to his opponent. He arrives in the ring, and
shortly thereafter, Anthony Failla appears on the ramp, with a glimmer of both
gold and blood in his eyes. Even Hosemann will have his hands full
tonight, although he fears it not.
Troy: Not quite sure what to make
of this one.
Ferrara: I do.
Calysto: Actually, I've been watching the shows, and I wouldn't be surprised
if Mike Grieco has a hand in the outcome of this match.
The bell rings, and Failla makes nary a move, as Hosemann demands of him the
first attack. Failla simply shakes his head, and grins, well aware of
Hosemann's usual strategy. Hosemann turns to Schenck, and Schenck shrugs
in confusion, as Failla observes his opportunity to come in and belt Hosemann
with a well-placed jab. Hosemann reels back, and immediately explodes
into his custom fury of stomps. It takes an extended period of time, but
eventually even the mighty Failla must yield to the intensity of the assault.
Failla arrives in the corner, and Hosemann proceeds to stomp Failla to the
ground, but halfway there, Failla explodes out of the flurry with a devastating
clothesline. Failla raises his arm to the crowd, and they cheer as he
drops a tremendous elbow. However, Hosemann somehow moves out of the
way, hits the ropes, and drops a hard knee into Failla's face. The crowd
cringes with the impact, and Hosemann for once uses the crowd's reaction to his
advantage, as he decides to hit an additional knee drop to Failla's face.
Hosemann then covers.
Troy: I could not have called this one.
Calysto: I could have. Hosemann is definitely a dangerous man.
The referee counts one, barely a two and Failla kicks out. Hosemann
then decides to capitalize immediately by sitting on the top turnbuckle, and
taking to the air with a huge elbow drop. However, Failla raises a boot,
and catches Hosemann in the jaw on the way down. Hosemann reels against
the ropes, and Failla gets to his feet as soon as he can, to catch Hosemann in
position for the Almighty Sacrifice! The crowd quickly rises to its feet,
in disbelief at the sudden possibility of victory. However, Hosemann
quickly struggles!
Hosemann struggles raucously, and as a result, Failla simply stops short, and
leaps backward, accidentally taking out the referee in the process.
Hosemann meanwhile, pushes off of Failla, landing on his feet, and in the
confusion, Mike Grieco slides into the ring and blasts Failla with the
International title belt! The referee comes to with surprising speed,
witnesses the situation, and calls for the bell, disqualifying Hosemann!
Hosemann flies into a rage and attacks Grieco, and as Failla lies unconscious,
oblivious to his advancement, officials flood the ring to break up the ensuing
brawl between Grieco and Hosemann as we cut to commercial.
WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION AT 7:21: ANTHONY FAILLA

SEGMENT 6: MATCH 3: NYCW DOUBLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT
FINALS: DARRIN GILES VS. DAMIEN FIELDS:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
"Eternal" by Evanescence airs over the
Rockefeller Center sound system as NYCW ace performer Darrin Giles makes his
way to the ring with a tremendous smirk on his face. He is evidently
still proud of his victory over commentator Paul Ferrara, and the fans have
evidently still not forgiven him for it. But as he reaches the ring,
Spiritfall's "Missing Passion" hits, and another of NYCW's uppermost
echelon, the promising Damien Fields eagerly storms down the ramp to a
supportive applause, and he takes this with him into the ring.
Troy: And here are the finalists of the NYCW tournament that has been
discussed over the past few weeks! One of these men will earn a PWA
contract tonight!
Ferrara: Not true! Giles has no losses whatsoever and this is a
double elimination tournament! Even if Fields beats Giles tonight, he
will have to face him again next week if he wants the PWA contract.
Calysto: Both of these men are extremely
talented, it’s gonna be very hard to pick a winner here.
The bell rings and it is clear that both men want it and want it bad.
Giles can already smell the contract with just one pinfall standing
between himself and his prize. The two lock up hard, but Giles
immediately thrusts a hard knee into Fields's gut, and tosses him shoulder
first towards the corner post! Giles guides him towards the post, but at
the last moment, Fields ducks out of the way, and drop toe holds Giles, sending
him face first into the middle turnbuckle! Fans flip out as Giles bounces
away, clutching at his face.
Fields wastes no time, and immediately he leaps into sitting position on the
top rope, and takes to the air with a flying leg drop! However, Giles
moves away at the last possible moment! Fields bounces up off of the mat,
and Giles blasts him in the middle of the ring with a spinning neckbreaker!
The crowd gasps as Giles quickly covers for the one, two, almost a three
and Fields manages to kick out! Giles shakes his head in frustration and
protest, and immediately he springs to the top rope for his trademark big top
rope splash!
Ferrara: Goodnight! We all knew who the better man was anyway.
Troy: I don't think anyone in this arena agrees with that, Paul.
Calysto: Here we go!
Giles soars through the air, but at the last possible moment, Fields moves out
of the way! Giles bounces off the mat this time, and Fields attempts to
catch him with a swift DDT, but Giles somehow manages to block it! Fields
tries again, but to no avail! Giles shoves Fields away towards the
ropes, but Fields reverses it, whipping Giles towards the ropes instead!
Giles bounces off the ropes, and then Fields catches him with a tight
inside cradle! The referee counts one, two, yes three! A raucous
ovation explodes as Fields manages to stay alive until next week!
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 6:48:
DAMIEN FIELDS
SEGMENT 7: BACKSTAGE:
The shot cuts to a backstage area, where Scott Cornelius is standing
by with the intense Machine.
Cornelius: Machine,
tonight you will compete against Scythe in your first crack at the title since
being defeated by Scythe at the Symphony of Destruction. With the match just
moments from now, what are you thinking?
Machine: That I
should rip your head from your shoulders for even mentioning that fluke. But
onto tonight, The Machine is feeling better than he has in a very long time.
Scythe has had a nice little run, but it all ends tonight. Don't think I don't
know about the match Scythe had last night. After going one hour against Jaguar
last night, does he really think he has a shot to beat The Machine? Of course
not. Normally, I would say the massacre of Scythe would begin tonight, but that
isn't the case. That massacre began just a few weeks ago right here in New York
and tonight, Scythe, the massacre and your title reign comes to an end.
The Machine storms away from the shot, calming Cornelius as he makes his exit.

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 4: GOLDEN RING TOURNAMENT: THIRD ROUND:
SOLOMON VS. RUDY MONTENORA:
Referee:
Matt Hansen
A hush falls over the crowd as Darkseed's "Hear Me"
sounds throughout the arena. The monstrous Solomon marches out onto the ramp
with Walter Gindin following closely behind. Gindin is looking confident in his
client, as he should be. Once Solomon enters the ring and Gindin takes his spot
on the outside, Rudy Montenora arrives to Eminem's "Lose Yourself."
This prompts the crowd to rally behind the New York native; everyone knows that
anyone who faces Solomon needs all the support they can get.
Ferrara: And Solomon's undefeated streak
continues!
Troy: Paul, the match hasn't even started yet!
Calysto: I'd hate to look past Rudy, but I don't think he's got what it takes
to beat this guy. If I were still wrestling, Solomon's undefeated streak
would've ended a long time ago.
Montenora rolls into the ring and Solomon doesn't even give him the chance to
stand up. Solomon stomps on Montenora's back as the bell rings to start the
match. Gindin shouts out orders from the outside. Solomon picks up Montenora
and hurls him into the ropes, swinging a huge arm as Montenora returns, but it
is ducked! Montenora bounces against the opposite ropes and leaps into the air,
throwing his body as Solomon, but the monster stands firm and Montenora only
bounces off. Montenora stares at Solomon, who beckons him to try another
attack. Montenora is quick to comply and swings several punches which barely
face the Alaskan giant. He bounces off the ropes, but that only invites Solomon
to down him with a clothesline. Montenora hits the mat hard and Solomon is
looking to wrap things up.
Calysto: It looks like Rudy's going for a ride.
Ferrara: Still think Solomon is going to lose his streak?
Troy: Well...
Gindin is ordering Solomon to deliver his devastating finisher, and Solomon
complies. He reaches down to pick up Montenora, who gets into position to throw
an uppercut into Solomon's jaw! The monster is momentarily stunned, but it
gives Montenora enough time to boot him in the stomach. Solomon doubles over
and Montenora tucks the big man's head under his arm, then falls back and
drives him head-first into the mat for a crushing DDT! The crowd comes alive
and Montenora waits in a corner! Gindin is slaps the mat and screeches warnings
at Solomon!
Troy: Rudy's got a chance here! He could take this match with a Superkick!
Calysto: That move can really take a lot of you. Getting hit by Rudy's
Superkick usually means the end.
Ferrara: But come on. This is Solomon we're talking about.
Solomon stumbles to his feet and Gindin is flipping out. The moment Solomon
turns around, Montenora gets into stance and thrusts his boot into Solomon's
face! Solomon falls to the floor and the crowd cheers! Montenora covers Solomon
for the one...NO! Solomon hurls Montenora off!
Calysto: I did say, "usually."
Montenora is in utter shock as both he and Solomon rise to their feet.
Montenora bounces against the ropes and charges Solomon with an outstretched
arm, but Solomon kicks him in the gut and hoists him over his shoulders. Gindin
commands Solomon to finish of Montenora, and Solomon obeys. Montenora is plowed
into the mat with the powerful Deep Freeze. Solomon makes the cover for one,
two, three.
Troy: Well, Rudy gave it his best shot,
but Solomon advances into the next round.
Ferrara: You've got to wonder who's going to be able to beat Solomon. But as it
stands, he is still undefeated.
Calysto: And you know who’s up next for
him. It’s Solomon vs. GI Jew in the
quarterfinals.
Ferrara: That should be an epic.
Troy: Always is with those two.
Solomon raises his arms briefly and leaves the ring, heading to the back with
Gindin as "Hear Me" plays once more for the disappointed fans in
Rockefeller Center.
