SEGMENT 8:
BACKSTAGE:
A camera
cuts backstage to a dressing room, where The Hot Boy$ are preparing for the
upcoming battle royal. Jaguar looks extremely focused as he finishes taping his
right hand and pounds his fist into his palm.
Romeo: You sure look ready over there Jag.
Jaguar: Oh I am man. Ever since Mike Griffin cost me winning the Golden Ring, I've wanted a title shot more and more and more. Since Scythe won the belt, nobody has come closer to beating him than I have. He didn't beat me and I didn't beat him, but if I get another shot, I know I'll win that title again.
Romeo: You might be right, but as for tonight, I'm looking to get my shot at it cuz.
Jaguar: I feel you
Romeo: Well it ain't the first battle royal we've been in, let's just make sure The Hot Boy$ are the last two at the end.
Jaguar: Bet.

9: MATCH 3: NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION LAUREN TANTALUS VS. LIZ
RUSH:
Referee: Jason Church
NYCW alumnus Liz Rush
makes her way to the ring for her singles debut on PWA Frequency. It is
clear from the crowd reaction to her appearance that she has already made
plenty of enemies since her debut in a tag match last week. Rush looks
very smug and cocky, and she climbs into the ring in eager anticipation of her
opponent. "Free" by VAST then hits, and the fans are thrilled
as the PWA Women’s Champion Lauren Tantalus wastes no time getting herself down
the ramp for this non-title match. Rush is undaunted as Tantalus rolls
into the ring and opens up on her, on fire!
Ferrara: Yeah, but you that means that Rush might very well do it again
right here!
Tantalus and Rush engage in a brutal slugfest as the bell rings, a
flurry of closed fists the likes of which is rarely seen in women's
competition. Tantalus eventually gets the better of the brawl, taking
Rush to the corner. Tantalus whips Rush towards the opposing corner, but
Rush reverses it. Tantalus hits the corner hard and stumbles forward from
the impact, as Rush ducks down to receive her for a back body drop.
However, Tantalus stops short, and kicks Rush in the face full force, clearly
intent on teaching Rush some dues.
Rush backs away, but Tantalus is relentless, lunging at Rush with a
clothesline. However, Rush ducks behind Tantalus, and blasts her with a
huge back suplex, which she folds over into a pinning combination! The
referee counts one, barely a two and Tantalus kicks out with authority,
launching Rush face first into the turnbuckle! Rush spins around from the
impact, obviously dizzied, and Tantalus doesn't hesitate to scoop her up for
the Tiger Driver! Tantalus blasts Rush with it in the middle of the ring,
and covers, one, two, yes three!
Tantalus
commences with a celebration, and the fans cheer, until Jade
slides into the ring and interrupts it, attacking her from behind!
An eruption of boos ensues as Jade unleashes a barrage of stomps. Rush
then comes to, and joins in on the assault. However, before long, Camieko
rushes down to the ring. Camieko switches off pummeling both Jade and
Rush, until Tantalus makes it back to her feet, and then both Camieko and
Tantalus clear the ring of their rivals. An intense staredown
then ensues as we cut to another commercial.

SEGMENT 10:
BACKSTAGE:
The
camera invites itself into Bryan Conroy's office, where Women’s Champion Lauren
Tantalus, Liz Rush, Jade, and Camieko are standing and shrieking at each other.
They only grow louder as Conroy rubs his temples at his desk.
Conroy: Ladies...
The women continue you shout at one another.
Conroy: LADIES!
They quiet down and look to Conroy, who takes a breath before speaking again.
Conroy: Alright... Jade, Camieko, I don't know what was on your minds when you
decided to go out there and get yourselves involved in that match, but we still
need to find a contender for the Women's title shot at Everlasting Epic 3. I
know how to settle this though.
Jade: What's the settle? Give the title shot to me. We all know I'm the most
deserving of it.
Another shouting contest ensues and Conroy is obviously frustrated. He slams a
fist into the desk, which quickly silences the women.
Conroy: If you're finished arguing, you'll learn how we're going to find a
challenger to Lauren's belt. Next week on Frequency, Liz Rush, Jade, and
Camieko will face each other in a Triple Threat match. The winner will
challenge Lauren for the Women's Championship at Everlasting Epic 3.
An uneasy silence from the women follows his announcement, but the crowd makes
up for this with cheers of approval. The women trade glances and nod in a satisfied
agreement.
Troy: But before that's going to happen, we have the 20-man Battle Royal, where
the winner will receive a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship next week,
coming up next!
The camera fades to
black, bringing us to the last commercial break of the evening.

11: MATCH 4: 20-MAN BATTLE ROYAL:
Outside Referees: Tom
Stevens, Matt Hansen, Jose Soares
Back at ringside, “Have
You Ever Felt” by Ill Nino is blaring over the speakers and the duo of
Hollywood Mike Griffin and Smooth Greg Tantalus -- collectively known as TFU --
makes its way to the ring, but not to compete cohesively. Both men are out to earn themselves a shot at
Scythe’s PWA Championship next week on Frequency, and both know that they must
win this next battle royal to do so.
Griffin and Tantalus step into the ring, joining Rudy Montenora,
Jonathan Brett, Superstar Scott Hosemann, Briggs, The Omega Steve Beovich, Paul
Dawkins, Jackie Baccaro, The Miracle Mike Troha, Anthony Failla, Speed Demon,
Justice, Infernus, Tony Annetta, Tag Team Champions Greg Price and Kris
Anthony, and Progressive Champion Showtime Damon Savage, all of whom have
already entered the ring. Moments later,
“We on Fire” explodes onto the speakers and the Buffalo crowd pops huge for the
Hot Boy$, who, like TFU, make their way to the ring together, in a show of
solidarity, while both knowing that this is every man for himself. No sooner do Jaguar and Romeo slide into the
ring does the bell sound and the chaos erupt in the ring.
Troy:
Alright, here we go!
The
action is fast and furious in the opening moments of the battle royal, with
each man looking to establish an advantage and keep himself alive for as long
as possible, each knowing the prospect of challenging for the PWA title and
disrupting the Everlasting Epic main event can be accomplished with a win
here. Shortly into the start of the
match, Speed Demon and Justice team up, knocking Infernus down and double clotheslining Tony Annetta up and out of the ring! However, just seconds after this happens,
Infernus grabs Speed Demon’s leg and uses the momentum to dump him over the top
and to the floor as well! Justice and
Infernus now battle back and forth.
Elsewhere in the ring, Briggs and Hosemann do a furious number on Steve
Beovich, alone in the ring due to the fact that his partner Jon Dulberg has not
yet fully recovered from knee surgery.
However, just as it appears that the two Justin Schenck associates will
do away with the Omega, Beovich reaches down and carries Briggs’ momentum over
the top, eliminating him! The fans cheer
wildly, but the celebration doesn’t last long, as Scott Hosemann promptly takes
the prone Beovich, hits him with the Superstar Stunner, and clotheslines him
over the top and out. The fans boo, but
while Hosemann celebrates, Jon Dulberg storms down the aisle, dives into the
ring, and clotheslines Hosemann out!
Then as Hosemann gets up on the outside, standing beside Briggs, Dulberg
propels himself over the top, taking out both Hosemann and Briggs! Dulberg and Beovich then brawl with Hosemann
and Briggs on the outside, and the referees have to separate them, demanding
all four return to the locker room.
In the
confusion prompted by Dulberg’s arrival,
International Champion Mike Grieco, who stayed out of this very battle royal
claiming a sprained ankle, comes through the crowd, slides into the ring, and
dumps Anthony Failla over the top rope, eliminating him! Failla is furious, but Grieco slides out of
the ring and again escapes through the crowd!
Failla, however, gives chase, and the two disappear, out of sight.
Simultaneously, Greg Price and Kris Anthony team up, double clotheslining
Paul Dawkins over the top and out.
However, as they celebrate, Kris Anthony is dumped out by Justice! In another side of the ring, Showtime Damon
Savage takes it to Jaguar, but the Hot Boy quickly reverses momentum, disposing
of the Progressive Champion! Then,
seconds later, Rudy Montenora superkicks Infernus
right over the top rope and out of the ring!
Seconds
later, Jonathan Brett -- who will face Montenora at Everlasting Epic -- takes
Rudy and launches him over the top rope!
In the aftermath, Justice approaches Brett and tries to take him out,
but Brett lifts Justice over his head and tosses him out with ease! Simultaneously, Greg Price is clotheslined out of the ring by Jackie Baccaro! Baccaro isn’t allowed to celebrate long,
however, as Mike Troha sneaks up from behind, dumping him out.
Predictably,
the match turns into a four-on-two assault, with the former TFU working
cohesively together, as they once did before.
Much of the next few minutes is spent by the
TFU members issuing a mighty beatdown to Jaguar and
Romeo. However, as Jonathan Brett
prepares to eliminate Romeo, Da Playboi
reverses the momentum and sends Brett flying to the outside! The crowd cheers raucously, but the cheering
proves to be short-lived, as Mike Troha immediately dropkicks Romeo out of the
ring, eliminating him. Jaguar, already
somewhat incapacitated, is now left alone in the ring with
Troy: I’ve got faith in Jaguar,
Paul. He’ll pull this out.
The
three men beat down on Jaguar viciously, but the three-time PWA Champion fights
back hard. Finally, the three-on-one
gets the better of him and Jaguar is beaten down tremendously, and set up on
the ropes for elimination. Mike Troha
charges at him, but Jaguar miraculously ducks down and Troha goes flying over
the top rope, eliminated! The fans
cheer, but
The
bell sounds and “Temptation” blasts onto the speakers, with the
