CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting the conclusion of last
week’s episode, with Greg Tantalus winning a 20-man battle royal to earn a PWA
world title shot tonight. The opening
credits then roll as
Ferrara: That’s right, Troy, its gonna be Scythe defending the PWA World Heavyweight
Championship against Greg Tantalus right here tonight! But
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1: JAGUAR VS. THE MIRACLE MIKE TROHA:
Referee:
Matt Hansen
The action kicks off as ring announcer Lee Palmer climbs into the ring and "I Got That Fire" by Juvenile and Manny Fresh surprisingly hits the speakers.
Palmer: This opening
contest is sechduled for one fall! Introducing first,
from
Jaguar comes out to an overwhelming ovation from the crowd and points to his New Jersey Nets number 3 Drazen Petrovic jersey before throwing his arms into the air and summoning his blazing fireworks from beneath the stage. The former PWA Champion walks up the ring steps and climbs inside to pose on the turnbuckles as his music stops and At The Drive-In's "Arcarsenal" begins.
Palmer: And his opponent, from Binghamton, New York, weighing 222 pounds,
he is The Miracle, Miiiiike Troooo-haaaaa!
Troha makes his way down to the ring with a chorus of boos and a stern look on his face. The Miracle rolls into the ring and immediately gets face-to-face with his longtime rival.
Ferrara: They sure do, and it stems all the way back to CAW with them. They
traded the CAW Heavyweight Title back and forth in 2002 and headed up the big
TFU-PWA rivalry that stems back to last winter. These two guys simply do not
like one another and we're gonna find that out again right now.
The bell sounds and both men continue to jaw with one another until Troha makes the first move. Rather than fighting a losing battle of brawling, Troha opts to lock up with Jaguar. Jaguar begins to overpower Troha before The Miracle goes low with a knee to his side. Troha follows up with a clubbing blow to the spine and takes Jaguar down with a vertical suplex.
The first pin attempt of the match comes in a two count for Troha, and he stays on the offensive by executing a front facelock. Jaguar gets to his feet and lifts Troha up, but The Miracle drives his legs back down to the mat. Jaguar quickly lifts him up again and breaks his grip with an inverted atomic drop. Jaguar comes back and downs Troha with a clothesline and the crowd cheers as he takes the advantage.
Jaguar's advantage proves to be short-lived as Troha grabs him by the trunks and yanks him downward sending him through the ropes onto the arena floor. Jaguar lands hard and Troha wastes no time in continuing his onslaught by grabbing Jaguar by the arm and Irish whipping him right into the iron ringpost!
Troha rolls in the ring and back out of it to break Matt Hansen's count at 7. Troha struggles in lifting 242 pounds of dead weight, but he rolls Jaguar back in and makes a lax pin attempt for one...two...and Jaguar's arm shoots up before the three!
Troha gets up irate and jumps right in Hansen's face! The official stands his ground and Troha backs off. He turns right into a clothesline attempt from Jaguar and moves away from it. Jaguar stops just short of nailing Hansen, but he turns around into a Troha clothesline and ducks it, causing Hansen to not be as lucky this time around. The referee goes down in a heap and Troha turns back to Jaguar to get a huge Carrjack for his troubles! Jaguar makes a cover and the crowd counts to five, but there is no ref to make the official count!
Jaguar gets up to revive the official, but all he gets is
cracked in the head with a chair by Hollywood Mike Griffin, who has come
through the crowd!
Troha pulls himself up and backs into the ropes before signaling for Divine Intervention. Jaguar gets to his feet, obviously without any clue or sense of direction as he walks right into Troha's grasp. Troha lifts him up violently and Jaguar's boots smash Hansen right in the head, sending him down again as Troha plows Jaguar head-first into the canvas! Troha covers, but looks around to find no ref to count again!
Troha gets up to wake the official, but immediately goes down to a huge boot to the face! The crowd cheers wildly as Romeo then scoops Troha up and spikes him with a thunderous Dre Day Powerbomb in the middle of the ring!
Romeo grabs Jaguar's arm and pulls his partner atop Troha before reviving Hansen again. The official counts a slow one..............two...............three!
"I Got That Fire" plays as The Hot Boy$ leave the ring, and Troha on his back, as we head to a commercial break.

SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
We are taken to the backstage area and into a room where Walter
Gindin is pounding a hand into his fist and talking to his associates, Infernus
and Tony Annetta. Solomon is standing nonchalantly to the side.
Gindin: Alright guys, you’re up next. You’ve got a big eight-man tag team match
tonight, and a win here can be big for us. Infernus, Annetta, you’ll both be
teaming with The Naturals tonight, but we all know
that you don’t need them to beat your opponents.
Annetta: Yeah...who are we wrestling again?
Infernus: Does it matter?
Annetta: Good point.
Infernus: Gindin, relax. The two of us could take this whole match by
ourselves.
Gindin: That’s what I like to hear! Go out there guys, and get us a win!
A confident Infernus and Tony Annetta take their leave, leaving behind a
smiling Gindin and an indifferent Solomon.

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE NATURALS, TONY
ANNETTA & INFERNUS VS. SPEED DEMON, JUSTICE, PAUL DAWKINS & JACKIE
BACCARO:
Referee:
Jose Soares
"All or Nothing" by Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers hits, and the PWA Tag Team Champions, the Naturals, make their
way to the ring. They are booed substantially, but seem too immersed in
their own self-glorifying entrance to notice. Shortly thereafter, the
team of Tony Annetta and Infernus, in the company of Walter Gindin, follow
suit. Annetta and Infernus briefly acknowledge the Naturals, and continue
about their entrance, which also receives boos. The boos end with the
entrance of Paul Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro, who waste no time getting to the
bottom of the ramp, where they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their
partners, Speed Demon and Justice. Demon and Justice come out and floor it
down the ramp to the ring.
The four fan favorites attempt a bum rush, but the referee tries to thwart
this, leaping in the way and screaming for order. This is effective to
some degree, as Dawkins and Baccaro are held back, while Demon and Justice break
through to clothesline both Annetta and Infernus respectively out of the
ring. Demon and Justice proceed to brawl with their adversaries on the
outside, while in the ring, Greg Price vertical suplexes
Dawkins. However, Dawkins reverses it, lands on the apron, and drags
Price out of the ring. Kris Anthony and Baccaro exchange blows in the
ring as the bell rings.
Ferrara: This is what PWA is all about,
Baccaro takes the advantage and whips Anthony towards the opposing ropes.
Anthony reverses it and ducks down for a back body drop, but the momentum is
too much and Baccaro lands on his feet behind him, before blasting him with a
quick neckbreaker, pleasing the crowd. Baccaro
covers quickly and the referee counts one, barely a two and Anthony kicks
out. On the outside, Dawkins drops Price face first into the barricade,
and the crowd roars as Dawkins trash talks him and then finally makes his way
over to the apron to await a tag.
Demon has Infernus braced against a barricade, as he runs up over the steps,
and leaps off with a flying sidekick! However, Infernus narrowly ducks it, and Demon crotches himself on the barricade! The
fans groan, and then groan even louder as Infernus brutally savate
kicks Demon off of his perch into the crowd. Justice meanwhile, sets
Annetta up for Blind Justice on the ramp! Gindin notices this, and in a
panic he reaches for a steel chair. Justice elevates Annetta for the
move, and Gindin sprints over in time to crack Justice in the back, hard!
Anthony has turned the tables on Baccaro back in the ring, keeping him grounded
to the mat with a tight leg grapevine. Baccaro seems to be in an
excruciating amount of pain, considering that he looks as if he is about to
tap. The referee gets in his face about giving it up, making him
oblivious to the carnage taking place on the outside. Baccaro begins to
power himself towards the ropes, as Gindin, Annetta, and Infernus begin a
triple team assault on Justice at the foot of the ramp. The crowd boos
pretty much everything that's going on.
Baccaro has just about reached the ropes, and Anthony desperately resists,
pushing forward on the hold. However, Baccaro suddenly switches gears,
and drags Anthony into a small package! The referee counts one, two, and
Anthony barely kicks out, launching Baccaro away from him in a panic!
Anthony lunges forth to counter any further offense, but Baccaro is waiting for
him with a tremendous flying tackle! Baccaro levels Anthony, and both men
are immediately sent crawling towards the outstretched hands that reach out
from their corners.
Justice mounts a comeback on the outside, attempting to pummel his way
through all three of his attackers. Annetta, Infernus, and Gindin
however, continue to suppress his rebellion. In the ring, both men tag
their partners, and a slugfest erupts in the middle of the ring between the
oncoming Price and Dawkins. Dawkins quickly wins this exchange, taking
Price to the corner, where he thrusts repeated shoulders into his gut.
Dawkins then beales Price across the ring, in a
remarkable display of strength. Price rolls off of it, and charges
Dawkins.
Price attempts a low dropkick to Dawkins's knee, but Dawkins jumps it, catches
Price with a kick to the gut as he turns around, and sets him up for the Mother
of All Bombs! Meanwhile, on the outside, Speed Demon has recovered, and
he leaps onto the apron, and performs a Shadow of the Nite
off of it, taking out all three of Justice's adversaries! The crowd goes
berserk, and the referee finally notices the ringside shenanigans. The
referee leans through the ropes and demands that everyone take their place on
the aprons, to which he is unheard.
Price meanwhile, slides out from Dawkins's grasp, turns around, and clips
his leg out from under him. Kris Anthony then quickly slides one half of
the tag team title belts into the ring, and Price clocks Dawkins over the head
with it as he gets up! Price slides the belt back out of the ring, and
covers as the referee turns around just in time to count the one...two...yes,
three. "All or Nothing" hits again, and the Naturals quickly
evacuate, hurrying up the ramp past an outraged crowd. Dawkins and Baccaro
remain in the ring disappointed, as Gindin follows the brawl between his
clients, and the duo of Demon and Justice, to the backstage area.

SEGMENT 6: RINGSIDE:
Back at ringside, "Footprints" by G-Unit blasts onto the
speakers and Showtime Damon Savage makes his way to the ring to a chorus of
boos, Not That Rodney King and his Progressive Championship belt at his side.
Ferrara: I don't know Troy, but I'm sure it's important.
Showtime walks into the ring, but not before instructing Rodney King to grab a
ladder from underneath the ring and slide it in. Showtime then sets up
the ladder in the middle of the ring and grabs a microphone.
Showtime: In 18 days, I'm gonna climb this very ladder and retain my
Progressive Championship. You might ask "Showtime, how can you be so
sure of this?" Well, the simple fact that I am Showtime should be
enough proof that I'll do exactly what I say. But past that, I want to
give you all a brief ladder demonstration, to show you all how unbeliveably superior I am at climbing the rungs of
success.
Rodney then pulls out a stopwatch as Showtime climbs up the ladder with ease,
microphone still in hand.
Showtime: Time!
Rodney: 1.2 seconds, Showtime!
Rodney then tosses up the Progressive belt and Showtime catches it with his
free hand.
Showtime: Did y'all see that?! 1.2 seconds AND I had a mic in my hand! People, in 18 days, ain't NOBODY gonna touch Showtime!
Rodney: Only in America, people! Only in
With that, "Footprints" hits over the speakers again and Showtime
and Rodney make their exit. However, before they can leave the ringside
area, they are attack by Dynamite Dean Nash, who comes from behind the
curtain! Showtime and Nash brawl on the ramp, and then James Biamonte
also comes out! The three men begin brawling before officials come
ringside to break it up, prompting us to take a commercial break.

SEGMENT 7: MATCH
3: CAMIEKO VS. LIZ
RUSH VS. JADE:
Referee:
Jose Soares
Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire" takes over the speakers and brings cheers from the crowd as Camieko makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring. Focused on earning another shot at the Women's Championship, she paces in the ring as "Thick Skin" by Joydrop hits next. Liz Rush steps out to a series of boos from the crowd, but also looks ready to stake her claim at a title shot.
As Rush climbs into the ring, "Zerospace" by Kidneythieves begins and the loudest set of jeers come for Jade as the former Women's Champion makes her way down to the ring. She begins to trade words with Camieko from the ramp, bringing her to the ropes. With Camieko's back turned, Rush takes advantage and assaults her from behind with a forearm smash to the back!
Dan Martin calls for the bell and Rush stomps away on
Camieko as Jade slides in to do the same. The ladies double team Camieko
relentlessly, whipping her to the ropes and taking her down with a double back
elbow each. Both ladies taunt the crowd, bringing more boos from the
Jade and Rush turn their attention back to Camieko and hold her high in the air before planting her with a hard double suplex. Rush makes a cover for one, two and she's yanked off by Jade! Jade shoves the rookie, who gets a mild pop as she turns away and then spears Jade to the canvas!
Jade and Rush brawl with reckless abandon until Jade uses her leverage to send Rush out through the ropes to the floor. Jade gets to her feet, but a recovered Camieko spins her around and drills her with a huge DDT! Camieko covers for one....two....and Rush pulls her off from the outside!
Camieko gets off of Jade and reaches over the ropes to grab at Rush's hair, but Rush manages to snap her head across the top rope. Camieko reels backwards, right into Jade's grip as the former champion blasts her with The Side Effect!
Jade spots an oncoming Rush and begins to trade punches with her. Jade takes the upper hand and goes for a Side Effect, but Rush reverses their positions and connects with a Cobra Clutch Bomb in the middle of the ring! A dizzy Rush gets up to try and make a cover, but she gets too close to the ropes and Camieko charges to send her flying over the top rope with a clothesline!
Jade is lying flat on her back and a grin comes over Camieko's face as she pulls her near one of the ring corners. Camieko then begins to climb up to the top rope and flashbulbs pop from the cheering crowd as she nails a picture-perfect St. Kinard Splash! Camieko hooks the far leg and Martin counts one....two....three!
Ferrara: From the looks of this match, that won't be an easy match
for Lauren Tantalus!
"Hot Like Fire" replays and the crowd cheers raucously as a victorious Camieko exits the ring and heads back through the curtain.

SEGMENT 8: RINGSIDE:
The camera pans the ring and comes across Walter Gindin, who has a
microphone in hand, and Solomon already standing in it. Dark Seed’s “Hear Me”
is still playing to the disarray of the audience, but it slowly fades. Gindin
lifts the mic to his mouth and tries to speak, but he
crowd boos even louder.
Gindin: Believe me, I didn’t come out here for you
either. (The crowd continues is wave of jeers, but Gindin continues anyway) I’m
here to state the management, and its issue with Solomon and myself. It simply
isn’t fair to have Solomon wrestle two matches at Everlasting Epic 3, one of
which is a Triple Threat match for the PWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Solomon needs to focus if he’s going to win that match, and how is he going to
accomplish that if he has to wrestle another match just before that?!
Solomon nods in agreement, but the crowd boos at this display of whining.
Gindin: And not only that, but the management has the
nerve to put ME in a handicapped match with Infernus and Tony Annetta, against
two guys like Speed Demon and Justice! I’m not in shape to be wrestling! This
is an act of pure hatred towards us, and I want an explanation!
Gindin and Solomon stand firm in the ring, but they don’t have to wait long as Sepultura’s “Refuse/Resist” blast through the speakers and
plasters a look of shock on both of their faces! GI Jew makes his entrance and
stands on the ramp to a roar of approval from the crowd. He has his own mic and waits until his music dies down.
Jew: Gindin, you got some set to come out here and complain like this. All this
time, you’ve been behind Solomon, but now it doesn’t seem like you’re so sure
that he can win. If he really is a whale hunting, polar bear wrestling monster,
then he should be able to win those two matches at Everlasting Epic easily. But
of course...that’s not going to happen as long as I’m standing across the ring
from him. Scythe can stay in the back for all I care, but I know I can pin
Solomon, one, two, three. And you, Gindin, you’re just a sack of crap, which is
why I enjoy seeing you squirm. I’m actually looking forward to your match, come
Everlasting Epic.
Gindin: You bastard! Why don’t you come down here and say that?!
GI Jew displays a wry smile, but before he can react, “Understanding in a
Car Crash” by Thursday suddenly prompts the crowd to cheer! Bryan Conroy and
Kerry Cox appear from behind the curtain and join GI Jew on the ramp. Conroy
speaks into his own mic.
Conroy: Kerry and I have been talking about that handicapped match we made for
you, Gindin, and we think that you have a point. So GI Jew, stepping down there
now won’t be necessary.
GI Jew looks confused and he questions Conroy. Cox is aware of the
situation, and he and Conroy stay calm.
Conroy: What I’m saying is that since Gindin hasn’t been wrestling, it wouldn’t
be fair for him to be in a handicapped match at Everlasting Epic 3... without some practice. So next week, we give him the
practice that he needs. Next week on Frequency, Walter Gindin will wrestle in a
handicapped match! And the good news is, your partner
will be... Solomon!
GI Jew asks Conroy if he’s making the right decision while Conroy maintains
a knowing smile. Gindin looks to Solomon and is liking
the odds so far.
Gindin: Alright. So who are our victims next week?
Conroy: You see, that’s the bad news. You’re the
handicapped side. You and Solomon will be facing GI Jew... Kerry Cox... and
myself! So Gindin, I suggest you find your wrestling gear. See you next week.
Conroy’s theme plays once more as Gindin and Solomon throw a tantrum in the
ring. The crowd is absolutely enthralled at this announcement and responds with
rabid cheers. GI Jew’s confusing is no longer apparent, and his face is now
decorated with an ear to ear grin.
