A
video package airs, highlighting events that have taken place over the
four-year and 210 episode-history of this program, which airs its final episode
tonight. From there, “By_Myslf” by
Ferrara: That’s right, Troy, but personally, I find it so hard to think about
that fact, and to think about it being the last episode, and that we’ll all be
out of jobs come Sunday morning when we still have so much great stuff to come!
I mean, think about it,
With
that, “With You” by

STEEL CAGE MATCH: GI JEW VS. SCYTHE *
Referee: Jose Soares
The fans
are cheering loudly throughout the arena as Scythe and Jew mix it up, rooting
for Scythe all the way. Scythe establishes himself an early advantage, pounding
Jew back into the ropes, before whipping him against them and downing him with
a hard back body drop! Jew gets up, and Scythe clotheslines him down hard to
the mat! Jew gets up again, and Scythe takes him down with a deep, Ricky
Steamboat armdrag! Then, Jew gets to his feet one
more time, and Scythe takes him down with a big dropkick!
With Jew
down, Scythe begins to climb the cage, but Jew gets up and quickly rips him
off, tearing him down hard. Jew tries to grate Scythe’s face against the cage,
but Scythe is able to get to his feet and free himself from that grip. Scythe then
backs up and gets a running start before charging at Jew, who catches him and
destroys him down with a vicious spinebuster! Scythe is slow to his feet, but
Jew sets up for the Gore! Jew charges at him with the Gore, but Scythe moves
out of the way, and Jew goes crashing into the door, enough to knock it off his
hinges and daze Jew, but not enough to propel him out of the ring! Seeing the
opening, Scythe gets a running start and leaps through the ropes, over GI Jew
and kicks through the door, soaring out of the ring and to the arena floor!
The fans
cheer loudly as “With You” hits and Scythe quickly flees! Justice and Jew are
irate in the ring, and vow to pay Scythe and whomever his
mystery partner may be back in a big way come Everlasting Epic.
* WINNER: SCYTHE *

Back from
break, we see Vulture, in his ring attire, stretching out in the backstage
area, as Morgan Day paces back and forth.
Morgan: Are you sure about this, Michael?
Vulture: Do I really have a choice?
Morgan: I guess not. But I’m worried. You can’t blame me for being worried, can
you?
Vulture: No, I guess I can’t. But listen, we’ve got four more days to get
through, and then we’ll never have to worry about anything again. PWA will be
finished, we’ll retire, and we can go live happily ever after. We’ll plan our
wedding date, and we’ll leave this business far, far behind. I’m ready to start
my life with you, Morgan, ready to fix the mistake we made all those years ago
when we threw this all away.
Morgan: I just wasn’t ready at the time. The time wasn’t right. But we found
our way back to each other, and that’s all that matters.
Vulture: Exactly. And I’m ready to walk away from it all with you now… except that we have some unfinished business. Whatever happens, happens. But you’ve got your showdown with
Magnifica, and I’ve got mine with Jackie Baccaro, and until the final bell
sounds on Saturday, we are not free to leave.
Morgan: I know. I just worry about the state you’ll be in when this is all
over.
Vulture: I know. And I appreciate the concern, I really do. But this is just
something I have to do. And if I’m being forced to get into the ring four days
earlier, then so be it. We’ll find a way to make it work.
Morgan: You’re right. Let’s just concentrate on kicking the crap out of jackass
Jackie and that miserable toe-rag Magnifica.
Vulture: Wow, that was a very British insult, Morgan.
Morgan: Thank you.
Just then, PWA commissioner Helen Summers appear at their door.
Helen: Aw, how tragic. Two lovers about to be separated
forever by death and destruction. Enjoy your final moments.
Morgan: What the bloody hell do you want?
Helen: Just wanted to wish you two luck. Especially you, Vulture. Get ready to enjoy life as a
cripple, if you even survive at all, that is.
Vulture: Thanks for the kind words, Helen, but we have some preparing to do,
and we’d appreciate it if you got your skanky
debutante Cruel Intentions ass out of our dressing room.
Helen: Ooh, how biting. Debutante? Cruel
Intentions, huh? Well then why don’t you be my Valmont and show me what
you do to us supple young debutantes?
Morgan: I’ll kill you, bitch! Stay away from my man!
Helen: Oh now, now. Temper, temper. I’ll leave you be,
but just know that tonight, you two don’t have a prayer in the world, and your
hopes for victory and vindication at Everlasting Epic are as good as gone.
With that, Summers exits and Vulture and Morgan
are left glaring at her hatefully.
The camera shifts to another portion of the backstage area, where a focused
Machine is seen making his way to the ring, alongside manager Walter Gindin. As
they are about to reach the curtain, they are stopped in their tracks by
Solomon and Keiko Ishida!
Machine: Out of the way, oaf. The Machine has work to do.
Solomon: Now, now. No need for the temper. Keiko and I just came here to wish
you luck.
Machine: Right, and The Machine doesn’t speak in the
third person.
Solomon: You can believe it, or you can not, but I have a genuine desire to
stay you stay untainted and unpinned since your return. I want my imminent
victory at Everlasting Epic to be all the more impressive.
Machine: Well keep dreaming, Solomon. Now, like The Machine just said, he has
work to do.
With that, Machine and Gindin
brush past Solomon and Keiko and head to the ring.

COMMERCIAL BREAK --
As we
return, “H-K” by Fear Factory hits the speakers, and The Machine makes his way
to the ring, flanked by Walter Gindin, to a momentous chorus of boos. Machine
settles himself in the ring, and awaits the arrival of his old archrival.
Moments later, “F*ckin in the Bushes” explodes onto
the speakers, and the fans go ballistic for the arrival of the PWA World
Heavyweight Champion The Iceman Jason Calysto! Calysto
enters the ring and, instead of the typical, expected staredown,
Calysto pops Machine right in the jaw, prompting the bell to sound and this
match to get underway!
* NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA CHAMPION THE ICEMAN JASON
CALYSTO VS. THE MACHINE *
Referee: Matt Hansen
Calysto pounds away on Machine, showing both Machine and the world that he
hasn’t forgotten all the history between the two. Calysto whips Machine against
the ropes, but when he springs back, Machine downs him with a furious
clothesline! Machine now takes control, lifting the Iceman up furiously, and
then nailing him with a huge kick to the jaw to knock him right back down!
When Machine
lifts Calysto up again, and whips him off the ropes, looking for a big
spinebuster, Calysto counters by unleashing a furious spinning heel kick, to
the joy of the crowd! Machine gets up slowly as the Iceman prepares for a mafia
kick, but when Calysto charges forward for it, Machine pulls referee Hansen in
the way, and he is clobbered! Calysto is stunned and now, with the ref down,
Gindin tosses Machine a pair of brass knuckles, who bashes Calysto in the jaw
with them! At Gindin’s urging, Machine continues to
pound on Calysto, until Solomon rushes down to the ring to a huge ovation!
Machine comes at Solomon, but the Alaskan Monster proves to be too much for him
in the initial exchange, nailing him up and over the top rope and out of the
ring to the monstrous approval of the crowd! Just then, the referee gets to his
feet and signals a DQ on the Machine as Solomon helps Calysto to his feet and
stares down a furious Machine and Gindin as “F*ckin
in the Bushes” replays over the speakers!
Ferrara: I can’t imagine it is either, Troy, but this war between Solomon and
Machine at Everlasting Epic is going to be heated!

WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION: JASON CALYSTO *
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
As we
return from break, we see the PWA Champion Jason Calysto returning from the
ringside area after his match with Machine. He is on his way back to his
dressing room when, suddenly, he stops. When the camera pans to the side, we
can see why: he has crossed paths with Vulture. The two men, former longtime
friends, former heated enemies, stare at each other for several moments before
either offers up a word.
Vulture: Hey.
Calysto: Hey.
Vulture: So nice match out there.
Calysto: With Machine? Eh, screw him. I hope Solomon pounds his ass at
Everlasting Epic. Oh and hey, I think it’s real admirable what you’re doing. I
don’t mean tonight, because I know you’re being forced into it, but Everlasting
Epic, coming back to face Baccaro, that’s cool. I’m pulling for ya, we’re
all pulling for ya, all the boys in the back.
Vulture: Thanks man. That does mean a lot.
Calysto: Just be careful out there.
Vulture: I know. Believe me, I’m well aware what the
man is capable of. (pause) Hey, good luck to you too
on Saturday.
Calysto: Thanks. I’m gonna give it my best.
Vulture: That’s all you really can do.
Calysto: Yup.
Vulture: Hey man, after this is all said and done, after Everlasting Epic, you wanna grab a beer?
Calysto: Yeah. I’d like that.
Vulture then nods at the champion and the two walk
off in separate directions.
The camera then shifts back to ringside, where we are taken to our
commentators, Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara.
Troy: Alright folks, this show is moving
right along, but we’re going to take this opportunity to review something that
happened last week. During a beatdown at the hands of
Bryan Conroy and Rudy Montenora, Kerry Cox was saved by the return of my former
broadcast colleague, Superstar Scott Hosemann, who rushed down to the ring to
help clear it, despite being fired from this position several weeks back.
Ferrara: That’s right,
Suddenly,
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem hits, and the fans begin
booing loudly as Rudy Montenora approaches the announce position, microphone in
hand. Montenora walks right up to
Montenora: Oh, so gimpy Paul
Montenora: Well maybe that’s the kind of thinking that led you to have that
broken leg in the first place. You need to have a healthy fear of people like
me,
With that,
Montenora slaps the headset off
Montenora: What’s the matter,
The fans
cheer loudly!
Montenora: Oh really? You want to be in their corner? Well, I might as well
give you a preview of what they’re in for.
Montenora
rears back and cracks
Ferrara: And if either of them, or Helen Summers for
that matter, gets in my way, I won’t hesitate to throw my weight around.

COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from
break, “More Human Than Human” by White Zombie hits
the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Justin Schenck leads Alpha
Omega to the ring. The Alpha Greg Price and The Omega Steve Beovich settle
themselves in the ring and wait for their opposition. Moments later, “Map of
the Problematique” by Muse hits, and the fans begin
cheering loudly for Paul Epton and Kris Anthony, who sprint down to the ring,
ready to get things started! Anthony dropkicks Beovich out of the ring, and
Epton starts things off with Price as the bell sounds!
* PAUL EPTON & KRIS ANTHONY VS. ALPHA
OMEGA *
Referee: Dan Martin
Epton nails Price with repeated hard forearms, before whipping him against
the ropes and nailing him down with a hard back body drop! Not wanting any more
of the upstart Epton, Price flees to his corner and tags in Steve Beovich.
Beovich has no qualms about locking up with Epton, and immediately shoves him
down to the mat when he does. Epton gets back up and Beovich ties him in a
headlock, but Epton is able to shove him off and nail him with a hard dropkick
as he returns!
Epton
tries to press the advantage, but Beovich is able to get himself back into the
match, and quickly take over. Beovich nails Epton down with a series of hard suplexes, and then continues to work over his legs, trying
to cut his vertical base out from under him. The Omega gets Epton in position,
and goes to the top, looking for Extreme Precision, but Epton rolls out of the
way, and Beovich goes crashing hard into the mat! Beovich does the only thing
he can do and tags Greg Price into the match, but before Price can get to
Epton, he tags Kris Anthony in!
Price tries
to nail Anthony with a punch, but he blocks it and begins stinging him with
hard blows of his own! He finally whips Price against the ropes, and downs him
with a huge back body drop! Price gets up again, but Anthony downs him with a
hard drop clothesline! Price now gets up and ducks under an Anthony
clothesline, before grabbing him, looking for a t-bone suplex. However, Anthony
elbows out of it and plants Price with the flatliner!
Anthony covers… one, two, three!
Justin
Schenck is furious on the outside of the ring, not pleased in the very least as
“Map of the Problematique” replays, and Epton and
Anthony exit in victory.
* WINNERS VIA PINFALL: PAUL EPTON & KRIS ANTHONY *

As we
return from break, we see Traci Reed standing by with Henry Swanson.
Traci: Welcome back to Frequency, folks.
I’m here with the host of the Swan Song, Henry Swanson, who has requested this
time to make what he deems a major announcement. So Henry, what’s the scoop?
Swanson: Well Traci, I requested this time for one simple reason, and that is
to let people know what they are in store for at Everlasting Epic. Now I’m not
talking abot the stacked card and the big-time
matches that have already been signed for the show. I’m talking about the Swan
Song, Traci. I am pleased… no, elated, to announce that at Everlasting Epic, I,
Henry Swanson, will host an episode of the Swan Song. A Swan Song swan song, if
you will. And I will have a great name from the PWA’s
past as my special guest.
Traci: And who might that be?
Swanson: Well Traci, to find that out, you’re going to just have to tune into
Everlasting Epic this Saturday night, live on pay-per-view!
Traci: Well there you have it! Henry Swanson will host the Swan Song, with a
special guest from the PWA’s past, this Saturday
night at Everlasting Epic V!
The camera shifts to another portion of the backstage area, where Jackie
Baccaro is doing hindu
squats, preparing for his mixed tag team match to come shortly. The Women’s
Champion Magnifica is stretching herself out, while conversing with fellow
Brunette Bitch Brigaders Michelle and Commissioner
Helen Summers.
Helen: You guys ready?
Magnifica: Oh there’s not much to be ready for here, but we are most certainly
ready.
Baccaro: Hey, hey. Let’s not get overconfident here.
Things definitely are swaying in our favor right now, but we’ve still got to go
out and do the job. Vulture and Morgan Day aren’t going to lie down for us, not
tonight, and not Saturday night. But tonight, we go out there and pick them
apart, leaving just bones left for us on Saturday. Tonight, we have the chance
to really set us up for an easy night at Everlasting Epic, a dominant night to
blast us off beyond PWA and into the future.
Magnifica: I’m with you, Jackie. You handle the crippled old man Vulture, and
make sure he never walks again when you’re done with him. I’ll concentrate on
beating the holy hell out of Morgan Day and rendering that pretty face of hers
unrecognizable. Jackie, their plan is to take us down, ride off into the
sunset, and lead a happy, healthy life together away from his business. It is
our job to make sure that never happens. I made a promise to myself several
years ago that Vulture would never again experience happiness in life, as long
as I could help it. Between tonight and Saturday, I need to keep that promise,
and I can do that by us showing them that there are dire, dire consequences to
screwing around Magnifica and Jackie Baccaro. Deadly
consequences.
Baccaro: Let’s do this.
Magnifica then nods at Baccaro and the two exit
the room, headed for the ring. When they leave, Michelle turns smiling to Helen
Summers.
Michelle: I love it when they talk like
that.

COMMERCIAL BREAK --
As we
return, “Things Done Changed” by Notorious BIG hits, and the fans begin booing
raucously as Jackie Baccaro and the PWA Women’s Champion Magnifica make their
way to the ring for this tag team bout. The pair settles in the ring, awaiting
the arrival of their opponents, when “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus
overtakes the speakers, and Morgan Day arrives to a thunderous ovation! Morgan
pauses at the foot of the ramp, and Baccaro and Magnifica shout obscenities at
her, when suddenly, Vulture crawls out from underneath the ring, slides into
it, and tackles Baccaro down from behind! The fans cheer thunderously, and
Morgan dives into the ring and begins pounding on Magnifica, prompting the bell
to sound to get this match underway!
* JACKIE BACCARO & PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION MAGNIFICA VS.
VULTURE & MORGAN DAY *
Referee: Tom Stevens
Vulture quickly exits the ring, leaving Morgan to start things off with
Magnifica. Morgan looks to keep the Women’s Champion at bay, stinging her with
hard knife-edge chops. Morgan then whips Magnifica off the ropes and downs her
with a hard back body drop as she returns! Magnifica springs up, and Morgan
downs her with a hard clothesline! Morgan moves in, looking to press the
advantage, but Magnifica is able to scamper over to the corner and tag Jackie
Baccaro into the match. Baccaro enters the ring and salivates at the
opportunity, as he stands across from Morgan Day.
Ferrara: That’s right,
Morgan
opts to stay in the ring and lock up with Baccaro, who calls off the lockup and
instead challenges her to a test of strength. Morgan accepts, and nails Baccaro
with a swift low blow that prompts the crowd to cheer thunderously! Morgan
attempts to play it off as an accident, and then goes to lock Baccaro in a
headlock. However, Baccaro shoves his way out of it, shoving Morgan into the
ropes, who leapfrogs over him as she returns. Morgan
then hits the opposite ropes, and Baccaro drills her with a furious
clothesline! The camera then shows Vulture, who appears anxious to get into the
ring. In fact, Baccaro turns to Vulture and begins taunting him, at which
point, Vulture can take no more. He demands a tag from Morgan, and he receives
it, to a thunderous ovation from the Nassau Coliseum crowd!
Ferrara: This is as special as it’s gonna get,
Vulture
and Baccaro lock up in the center of the ring, and surprisingly, Vulture shoves
the stronger Baccaro to the mat to a huge ovation! Baccaro gets up, angry, and
moves to his corner, where he whispers something into Magnifica’s
ear. Then, Baccaro tags Magnifica into the match!
Magnifica
gets into the ring and begins mouthing off to Vulture, who ready to teach his
former lover a lesson. He signals back to tag in Morgan Day, but Magnifica
calls him off, saying she wants him for herself. Vulture smirks, and moves in,
when suddenly Baccaro re-enters the ring with the Women’s Championship belt and
cracks Vulture in the skull with it, resulting in immediate disqualification!
Ferrara: This whole thing must have been a set-up,
Baccaro
and Magnifica put the boots to Vulture, and as soon as Morgan enters the ring,
Baccaro tosses the belt to Magnifica, who cracks Morgan furiously in the skull
with it! Baccaro and Magnifica then do a vicious number on Vulture and Morgan
as the crowd boos hatefully. “Things Done Changed” then hits over the speakers
and Baccaro and Magnifica stand tall over their fallen
Everlasting Epic opponents.
