TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2005 * COLISEE PEPSI * QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC, CANADA

We return back to the ring, which is filled with 18 bodies as the crowd prepares for the first-ever World Wrestling Classic battle royal section. James Biamonte, Paul Epton, Steve Beovich, Briggs, Mike Grieco, Paul Dawkins, Renegade, John Wolfe, Jaguar, Bishop Cross, Dexter P. Wellington, Reaper, Jonathan Brett, Greg Price, Jason Calysto, Solomon, GI Jew and Loki fill the ring as "Arcarsenal" by At The Drive-In begins to play. Gold pyro streams from the top of the Jumbotron as The Miracle Mike Troha steps out to a big ovation.

Troy: Now here's a guy who would love to win this thing. Last year, Mike Troha suffered his quad injury against Romeo at Everlasting Epic. How sweet would it be for Troha to win this match for a shot at redemption?

Ferrara: Wouldn't be sweet at all if he went and the same thing happened.

Troha climbs into the ring and cheers continue to ring out as Linkin Park's "With You" plays next. Smoke floods the entrance and Scythe makes his way out to a big time pop from the crowd! The Modern Day Samurai wears no entrance gear to the ring, but he does wear a cold stare on his face as he locks eyes with The Iceman in the squared circle.

Troy: You wanna talk about who really wants to win this? It has to be Scythe. He almost won The ORA Championship at Rockefeller Center, but his shot was taken away by Jason Calysto.

Ferrara: What came around went around with that.

Scythe steps into the ring and waits cautiously for the bell to ring. But one man remains, and that man is revealed as "Things Done Changed" by the late Notorious B.I.G. booms over the speakers. Boos come from the crowd in mass as Vulture and Jackie Baccaro appear, both looking pretty angry as they step out onto the stage.

Ferrara: Now this is the guy who wants it the most. He came so close to beating Greg Tantalus in Rockefeller Center, only to have it taken away from him in the blink of an eye.

Troy: Well he can gain an ORA Title match by winning this World Wrestling Classic, but that will be easier said than done.

* THE WORLD WRESTLING CLASSIC *

Battle Royal Outside Referees:  Billy Vargas, Jason Church, Dan Martin

In-Ring Match Referee:  Tom Stevens

Baccaro climbs into the ring, setting off a huge rumble as the bell sounds. Jaguar and Briggs focus as a unit to double team Solomon as Troha takes the fight to Greg Price and Paul Dawkins goes after Dexter P. Wellington. The Army of The Damned fights off opponents as a dominant triad, leaving James Biamonte, John Epton and Paul Wolfe on the canvas. Biamonte gets up to his feet and Mike Grieco runs up to eliminate him, but Biamonte reverses the momentum and sends Grieco flying out to the floor! Grieco is irate on the floor and Biamonte keeps his attention on his most hated rival, leaving him wide open to be tossed out by Brett from behind!

Troy: Biamonte and Grieco are both eliminated!

Ferrara: They'd rather fight each other anyway.

The action rages on in the ring as Renegade and Dawkins focus their attack on Wellington, but the former Progressive Champion is clubbed down from behind by Reaper. GI Jew springs into action by turning Reaper around and decking him with a right hand, but Jew is taken down by Loki and Bishop Cross. Renegade and Reaper get up and Reaper charges, but Renegade ducks down and dumps him over the top with a back body drop! Renegade turns to watch his handiwork, but turns back to get an Athiest superkick from Loki that sends him out over the top!

Bishop Cross grabs GI Jew by the arms for an attack by Loki, but Loki misses his next superkick attempt as GI Jew breaks free. He drops Bishop Cross with a mule kick before clotheslining Loki out to the floor. Scythe and Jason Calysto are embroiled in opposite battles, with Scythe battling Wellington and Baccaro squaring off against Calysto. Jonathan Brett surprises Jaguar with a clothesline, but turns around to get a dropkick from Troha that sends him reeling out of the ring!

Ferrara: Now Brett's gone! Who do we have left Troy?!

Troy: Calysto, Scythe, Dawkins, Jaguar, Baccaro, Solomon, Briggs, Alpha Omega, Epton, Wolfe, GI Jew, Troha, Bishop Cross and Dex Wellington remain.

The Tag Team Champions work as a unit, double teaming Briggs while Epton and Wolfe do the same to Jaguar. Jag gets some help from Scythe, who delivers a savate kick that nicks Wolfe out of the ring. Jaguar assaults Alpha Omega, but Solomon catches Briggs with a running clothesline so hard that their momentum sends them both crashing to the outside!

Troy: Oh man! Solomon and Briggs have just eliminated each other!

Ferrara: That was the biggest clothesline that I have ever seen!

Alpha Omega quickly try to eliminate Jaguar, but he fights them off and then cracks both of their skulls together. He grabs Beovich by the head as Jew does the same to Price, and both launch the champs over the top to the floor!

Troy: That's it for The Legacy!

Ferrara: So much for leaving with both World Titles in one night.

Cross, Wellington, Jaguar, Scythe, Calysto, GI Jew, Epton, Troha, Dawkins and Baccaro are the last ten men in the ring, and it is now that Calysto and Scythe find each other, electrifying the crowd with a series of massive chops. They don't get far into it as Cross barrels Scythe to the mat and Baccaro does the same to Calysto. Jaguar and GI Jew take turns pounding Wellington into the ground as Epton and Troha go to work on Dawkins. Troha and Epton get Dawkins off the mat and try to dump him over the top, but The International Champion holds on firmly. Epton and Troha are stretching to get Dawkins out, garnering the attention of Baccaro, who grabs one of Epton's and Troha's legs each and lifts, sending all three out at once!

Ferrara: Oh my God! Baccaro just took out three men at once! This guy can't be stopped!

Baccaro and Dawkins jaw at one another as all three men get up, but Baccaro cannot hear Vulture's warnings as Jaguar comes up from behind and dumps him out to a huge pop!

Troy: Spoke too soon Paul!

Jaguar is quickly taken down from behind by Cross, who works him over as Calysto and Scythe trade fists. Wellington comes up from behind and gives a cheap low blow to Scythe, but it apparently angers The Iceman, who feigns friendship before grabbing him by the head and tossing him out!

Ferrara: Wellington is gone! I think Jay wanted to beat Scythe up alone, without any help.

Troy: Well he has his chance now, because its just him, Scythe, Jaguar, Bishop Cross and GI Jew in the ring.

Scythe slowly rises to his feet, but takes a mafia kick to the head that sends him through the ropes to the floor, right in front of an incensed chair-wielding Wellington. Billy Vargas, Jason Church and Dan Martin team up to get Wellington removed from the ringside area, but he drops the chair in front of Scythe.

GI Jew beats on Bishop Cross with a flurry of fists while Calysto unloads on Jaguar with a chop parade in the corner. Scythe is still trying to rise on the outside of the ring when Calysto whips Jaguar hard into a corner. Jaguar stumbles out and The Iceman nearly takes his head off with an incredible spinning heel kick! Calysto rises to his feet for more, but Scythe climbs back into the ring and whacks him with the chair, sending Calysto backwards and over the top rope!

Ferrara: Unbelievable! Scythe just eliminated The Iceman, and used a chair to do it! When is the last time we have seen Scythe use a chair?!

Troy: I don't think he ever has!

Scythe appears stunned by his own actions until Bishop Cross knocks down GI Jew and clubs him in the back. Cross and Scythe trade punches until Scythe ducks under a big right hand and scores with The Flying Dragon Chokeslam! A while passes before Cross rises to his feet and stumbles back to the ropes. Scythe looks to finish him off with a running clothesline, but once he runs to the ropes, Calysto lowbridges the top cable and Scythe flies out over the top!

Ferrara: Calysto just took Scythe out of the game!

Troy: And Scythe isn't happy about it; they're going at it!

Ferrara: Sure are, but the big story is that these men are the final three. Bishop Cross, GI Jew and Jaguar are fighting for immunity now!

Calysto and Scythe begin to brawl their way to the back and have to be separated by a squad of officials in the process. GI Jew gets up to clothesline Cross, but the cryptic leader of The Army of The Damned ducks under it. He tries to run the other way, but runs into Jaguar, who lifts him up as GI Jew comes across from the other side and scores with a neckbreaker to complete 3-D! The former tag team champions then lift Cross up and holds him high before dumping him out to the floor, leaving Jaguar and GI Jew to duke it out.

Ferrara: These are the last two Troy!

Troy: Good friends, bitter enemies, they have done it all in there, and we're about to witness some more here for immunity!

Jaguar and Jew nod to each other before coming to blows in the middle of the ring. Jaguar gains the advantage with three straight punches and floors him with a clothesline. GI Jew gets up and reels backwards into a corner and Jaguar charges at him, but Jew slips away in the nick of time. Jaguar hits the turnbuckles chest-first and turns around to get clotheslined over the top rope to the floor as GI Jew wins the battle royal to a huge ovation!

Troy: GI Jew has taken the battle royal!

Ferrara: But it’s not over yet! We still have at least three matches!

Troy: And we'll be right back for the first!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

We return to the ring, where Bishop Cross is unleashing a furious assault on GI Jew. Cross batters the first Grand Slam winner with a bevy of righthanded punches that keep him grounded and unable to go on the offense. Cross backs up to the ropes and delivers a vile kick to the head that sends Jew back to the canvas. He covers for one...two...and Jew kicks out.

Troy: Bishop Cross has been dominating this matchup throughout the commercial break.

Ferrara: He's still a little fresher than GI Jew, and he's using it to his advantage now.

Cross grabs GI Jew in a tight front facelock, hoping to drive the air out of him as he tires. The crowd chants for GI Jew to get up, and he does so before driving Cross back into a corner. The hold is broken and GI Jew reels backwards to catch a breather, but Cross stays aggressive and charges at him. GI Jew sees him coming and drops him with a big spinebuster! Cross finds a way back up, but walks into a big flapjack before GI Jew sets up in the corner.

Troy: He's gotta be looking for The Gore here.

Ferrara: But he might not have the chance!

GI Jew readies himself to deliver The Gore, but he is attacked from behind by Loki and Reaper! Tom Stevens calls for the bell, effectively disqualifying Bishop Cross, but The Army of The Damned couldn't care any less. They triple team GI Jew mercilessly until Jaguar runs down the ramp to try and save him, but the numbers overwhelm him as well.

Troy: Jaguar and GI Jew are both being beaten down here!

Ferrara: Cross is already eliminated, but I don't think there will be any winners tonight!

The Army beats on Jaguar and Jew until Renegade runs down to stop them, but he doesn't last long as Reaper takes him down with a running forearm. All three men continue to render GI Jew, Jaguar and Renegade helpless in the ring until the lights suddenly go out! They come up, but the entire audience shrieks with amazement as Speed Demon appears in the ring, with a red and black aluminum baseball bat in hand!

Ferrara: What in the hell?!?!?!

Troy: It’s Speed Demon! I thought he was gone for good!

The Army of The Damned stands almost frozen in shock until Speed Demon begins to swing the weapon, sending all three scurrying from the ring quickly. Speed Demon does not give up, instead opting to chase all three through the crowd before they split up. Renegade gives chase amidst a rabid crowd reaction as we take a commercial break.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

We return from the break to find Jaguar and GI Jew going at it in the ring. Both men are tiring, and it shows as they trade slowed fists. Jaguar scores with a knee to the midsection and gets GI Jew in a front facelock. He tries to lift him up for Version 1.0, but Jew slips out and shoves him from behind, sending Jaguar crashing violently into Stevens inadvertently. Jaguar turns around, and GI Jew springs forward and connects with a huge Gore to the midsection!

Troy: Gore! That should do it for GI Jew!

Ferrara: Wait, what the hell?!

The commentary team is stunned as Bishop Cross, still on the run from Speed Demon, climbs over the security wall behind them. Demon is nowhere in sight, and Cross spots the referee on the ground, so he slides into the ring and drops a double axe handle to the back of Jew's head! Before GI Jew can fight back, he get him into position and scoops him up to deliver The Crossfire with extreme impact! Cross rolls GI Jew over onto his back before dragging Jaguar by the arm and placing him atop his former partner. Cross exits to a ton of boos as Stevens slowly comes to and logs the three count!

Troy: Oh no, Jaguar just got the win, but I don't think he has any clue what happened with Cross!

Ferrara: Maybe not, but he still got the win and now they have to wrestle again for the title shot!

Troy: And now Kerry Cox is coming out here; we'll be right back!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

We return to action, where Jaguar is in control of the match as Commissioner Cox is seated ringside.

Troy: Welcome back folks, as we went to the break, Commissioner Kerry Cox told me to inform you all that he is out here to ensure no further interference in this match. If anyone else so much as comes down to the ring, they will be promptly fired.

Ferrara: That will definitely make sure that nobody else runs out here.

Jaguar lifts GI Jew up and downs him with a vertical suplex. He gets off the mat and begins to climb out to head up to the top rope. Jaguar measures Jew up and flies off for a Suga Splash, but Jew rolls away and Jag crashes to the canvas with huge impact!

GI Jew gets off the mat exhausted, but manages to lift Jaguar up and drop him with a scoop slam. Jew looks to end this one for good with another Gore, and Jaguar slowly rises to his feet. Jew runs forward, but Jaguar sidesteps him. Jew stops short of the turnbuckles, but turns around to walk into a reverse neckbreaker from Jaguar, who covers for a long two count.

Jaguar gets up and stalks GI Jew for The Carrjack, but GI Jew fights out of it with an elbow to the head and scores with a big DDT! GI Jew drapes an arm over Jaguar for one...two...and Jaguar gets an arm off the canvas!

Troy: What a close call that was!

Ferrara: He almost had the title shot won right there!

GI Jew gets Jaguar off the mat and motions to the crowd that he will put him away with The Magnum Driver. He grabs Jag into a pump handle position and lifts him, but Jaguar floats over the top and lands on his feet before lifting GI Jew and crunching him with The Carrjack! Jaguar hooks a leg tightly as Stevens counts one...two...three!

Troy: It’s over! Jaguar has won this amazing match and he will now face Romeo for The ORA Championship at Everlasting Epic!

Ferrara: This is absolutely incredible, you can't say he didn't earn it, although he got that inadvertant help from Bishop Cross. You have gotta tip your hat to GI Jew though.

Troy: That's right, the former ORA Champion came so close to getting his rematch for the title at Everlasting Epic, but his effort tonight has got to put him in line for a shot somewhere in the very near future.

Mannie Fresh's "Real Big" booms thoughout the arena as Jaguar is showered with cheers from the capacity crowd. GI Jew rolls out of the ring defeated, but with his head held high as he quietly heads to the back. Kerry Cox applauds Jaguar's victory from his seat, but looks on with angst as Bryan Conroy runs out from the back and climbs into the ring.

Troy: What is Bryan Conroy doing? Jaguar won this thing fair and square!

Conroy enters the ring and gets in Jaguar's face, prompting Cox to rise from his seat. Before he can enter the ring, Romeo runs in from the crowd and drops Jaguar with a fist to the back of the head! Cox climbs in to stop them, but falls victim to a Conroy and Romeo double team assault. Jaguar is in no shape to fight back anymore, and Cox is lifted by Romeo and drilled with a Dre Day Powerbomb upon Conroy's orders!

Troy: Oh my God!

Ferrara: He might have broken Cox's back with that powerbomb!

Troy: Dammit to hell! Romeo and Conroy have just assaulted our Commissioner! Kerry has got to be hurt badly after that!

The crowd sits in stunned silence as Conroy and Romeo stand over the fallen Cox and Jaguar as Frequency comes to a close.

* WINNER AND # 1 CONTENDER TO THE ORA CHAMPIONSHIP: JAGUAR *
