The commercial then ends and we return to the arena.
The opening chords of
Solomon walks
down to the ring and enters over the top rope, never taking his eyes off of
Scythe. Dan Martin calls for the bell, and it sounds.
* SOLOMON VS. SCYTHE *
Referee: Dan Martin
The fans cheer with excitement as both men circle the ring and waste no time in
locking up. Scythe digs deep, but Solomon has no problem in muscling him off
and sending him reeling into a corner.
Solomon
charges, but Scythe's quickness allows him to duck out of the way and pull
Solomon backwards with a rollup. Martin counts to two, but Solomon uses his leg
strength to propel Scythe forward and send him soaring over the top rope to the
arena floor!
Solomon goes
out and rolls Scythe back into the ring, breaking Martin's count. Solomon grabs
onto the top rope to re-enter, but Scythe thrusts a shoulder into his
midsection before getting in a front facelock and lifting all 300 of his pounds
up and into the ring with a suplex! Scythe makes a cover of one before being
launched off the pin. Scythe decides his next move should come from above, so
he heads to the turnbuckles, but nearly stops as The Iceman Jason Calysto
strolls out onto the stage.
Troy: Hey, The Iceman is here.
Scythe
ignores Calysto's presence and waits on Solomon to rise before jumping off for
a flying body press, but Solomon catches him! The Alaskan Monster tosses scythe
onto his shoulders and swing him around for The Deep Freeze, but Scythe lands
on his feet. Scythe tries a clothesline, but Solomon blocks his arm and then
drives him down with a huge sidewalk slam! Solomon then covers for
one...two...and Scythe kicks out, but the real story comes when Briggs joins
Calysto atop the stage.
Ferrara: These guys will meet the men in the ring
at Everlasting Epic, but I'm getting a bad feeling about them out here now.
Solomon goes
over to the ropes to yell at Briggs up the ramp, giving Scythe enough time to get
up and grab him from behind. Solomon gives a hard elbow that sends Scythe
flying backwards and takes Martin down with him! Solomon and Briggs don't want
to wait any longer, and both men converge and meet up at the ring, where
Solomon pounces on the big Canadian!
Solomon has
the clear advantage, but Scythe gets up and nails him from behind. With Scythe
up, Calysto springs into action and hits the ring to trade fists with him!
Before long, all four men are brawling and Martin has no alternative but to
throw the match out the window!
A team of
officials rush down to the ring to break up the melee, and keep all four in separate
corners until the tempers cool a bit.
* WINNER: NO CONTEST *

A video package airs, in black and white. The shot takes us to an empty arena, where a
woman is sitting on a chair about 20 rows back.
Her head is down, and her face cannot be made out. The camera slowly zooms her way as she
narrates.
Woman:
The wait is nearly over. The days
down to but seven. I have waited years
for this. Years for a new challenge, a
new task to conquer. Years to finally
gain the approval and acceptance I seek.
Years… to rise to the top of the wrestling world. The new day is nearly upon us. I am that new day. I am Morgan Day, and next week on Frequency…
I will arrive.
Morgan Day then looks up, finally giving the camera a look at her stunningly
attractive face, as a graphic appears on screen:
“Morgan Day Debuts - Next Week.”
The camera then zooms into her eye and fades into blackness.
Back in the arena, the camera takes us to the backstage dressing room
containing Vulture and Jackie Baccaro, who have just watched that segment.
Vulture:
There it is. Next week. She’ll be here next week.
Baccaro: What’s the plan?
Vulture: Don’t worry about it. I’m sure we’ll get to her. I’m pretty excited about it. I’m pretty confident we can get her on our
side.
Baccaro: She’s a pretty hot little
number there.
Vulture: Just watch yourself. She’s every bit as dangerous as she is
attractive. We have that to worry about
next week, but that shouldn’t be what you’re thinking about. You know what’s on the table, don’t you?
Baccaro: Oh yeah. Tag match.
Vulture: Yeah. It’s gonna be you and Solomon against Paul
Dawkins and Briggs. You need to be
ready.
Baccaro: Gotta make a statement to
Dawkins.
Vulture: You know it. It’s your last chance to do so before
Everlasting Epic, when you take your belt back. Will you be ready?
Baccaro: Absolutely.
Vulture: Alright good. So you focus on what you have to do, and I’ll
focus on what I have to do.
Baccaro: Sounds good.
The camera then leaves the dressing room and we take another break.

"Arcarsenal" by At The Drive-In hits the speakers, and a huge roar
comes from the crowd as Mike Troha appears at the top of the stage. The Miracle
walks down to the ring and slides inside with a stern look on his face as he
takes a microphone.
Troha: You know something guys? I haven't had many
opportunities to speak my mind since I returned to action, so the first thing I
wanna say to you fans is thank you. (Crowd cheers) That's right. Throughout my
rehab from my torn quadriceps, you people have been there to support me and
continue to do so today. But that brings me to someone else. Jonathan Brett
(Crowd boos). The same Jonathan Brett who attacked me after I got hurt. You
know we never did address that Jon, so why don't you come on out and--
Troha doesn't
need to say another word as "Quake 1" by Nine Inch Nails brings out
the powerhouse of The Legacy. Brett stands atop the ramp amidst a shower of
boos before speaking over the crowd.
Brett: Ever since you came back Mike, you've had a
huge chip on your shoulder. You have a problem with me? Say it to my face!
Troha: Well I would, but you're too chicken to come
down here. But that's fine big man. You stay right up there, because this won't
take long. Remember our situation in TFU Jon? You know, where I practically
took you in and helped make you successful after your career began to fade out?
Yeah, I remember that.
Brett: What are you getting at Mike?
Troha: You know damn well what I'm getting at Jon!
When you came on board here, you never did quite become the monster you were
earlier in your career. You realized that this is not FSW and no one here in
scared of you. So what did you do? You became a punk. A cheap thug, a hired
gun. You gave up on yourself and just started showing up for the paycheck. Me?
I have been the PWA Champion before and will be again. But you, you're just a
tag-along now. I mean, I tried to give you a chance just to stick around in
this business by acting as my bodyguard, but once I blew out my leg and
couldn't bring in your cut, you attacked me and added another 3 months to my
scheduled rehabilitation. I didn't forget that Jon. And I intend to make you
pay for that firsthand. Meet me in the ring at Everlasting Epic, if you're man
enough.
Brett: You don't realize it yet, do you Mike? What
I did to you was in no way personal, it was strictly business. You used to
be an excellent businessman Mike, and that’s why I put my trust in you. But
where did it get me? Nowhere! I got nothing! Don't think it’s true? Take a
flashback to Everlasting Epic 3 Mike. What did you do? You took on Romeo and
got your ass whipped. He tore your quad by accident, just imagine what he could
have done to you on purpose. What did I do? I took a guy who you have had many
wars with, and demolished him in under 2 minutes! Because of me, Rudy Montenora
is no more. I should have skyrocketed after that Mike, but no, people were
still talking about you. They wondered when The Miracle would be back. Well I
wondered when The Miracle would be gone. I simply took things into my own
hands. I'm not gonna lie Mike, it felt good to take you out of the game, it
felt good to get my time in the sun.
Troha: Your time in the sun? You haven't done a
damn thing since I've been gone! Instead of being a hired gun for me, you're
doing the same thing for
Brett: Forget that, I'm gonna do the same thing to you
that I did to Rudy! I've known for a long time that I wouldn't make it here
with you stealing my limelight, so on August 20, I'm turning your lights out,
for good!
"Quake
1" hits again as Brett and Troha commence a heavy staredown that carries
us into a commercial break.

Majestic music plays and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads
"PWA Everlasting Epic IV Report." From there, a shot takes us
to a backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O'Brien, who is standing in front of a

The crowd is
ready for the main attraction and its set to come as three D-Bombs explode upon
impact with the ramp and "I Want It" by B.G. hitting the speakers.
Boos ring out from the seats to the stage and beyond as the quartet
of Romeo, F. Anthony Annetta, Helen Summers and Bryan Conroy appear from
the entrance. The smoke clears and Conroy leads the way to the ring as Summers,
Annetta and The ORA's World Champion follow suit. They all climb into the ring
and take a turnbuckle to pose on as the boos continue.
Troy: Sure Conroy is a Hall of Famer, Romeo is a
future Hall of Famer, and Annetta has held multiple championships, but these
guys are bona fide jackasses, and I hope they get a little bit of what is
coming to them tonight. Conroy will have the fight of his life against Kerry
Cox for total control of this company, and Romeo will face off with Jaguar in the
confines of The Cell at Everlasting Epic.
As they
loosen up in the ring, KISS' "War Machine" begins to play and the
roof is shaking as the duo of Commissioner Kerry Cox and Jaguar appear from the
curtain. They walk out to the ramp, but Jaguar stops Cox, and both raise their
arms simultaneously as Jaguar's fiery explodes behind them on the stage.
Cox and
Jaguar approach the ring and climb inside to stare directly at their three
opponents for the night.
The bell
sounds and the ring clears, leaving Jaguar in and staring across at Conroy as
the crowd goes nuts.
* HANDICAPPED MATCH: ORA CHAMPION ROMEO, BRYAN CONROY & F. ANTHONY ANNETTA
VS. JAGUAR & KERRY COX *
Referee: Matt Hansen
Conroy and Jaguar circle the ring and nod to each other as they do so. Both are
ready to lock up when Conroy inexplicably tags Annetta, drawing intense boos
from the crowd as he climbs out of the ring!
The Lieutenant
Commissioner steps inside and points at Jaguar, who sends a few words Conroy's
way before locking up with Annetta. The bigger Jaguar backs Annetta back up
into a corner, where Matt Hansen deamnds a clean break. Jaguar gives it and
backs off, but FAA opts to swing a right hand, which is promptly blocked before
Jaguar connects with three of his own in succession.
Jaguar backs
Annetta to the ropes and Irish whips him across the ring. He looks for an
attack, but FAA hangs on to the top cable and stops himself to make a tag to
Romeo. The crowd oohs as both Hot Boy$ stand in the ring, but they cheer as
Kerry Cox yells for Jaguar to take a backseat as he extends his arm for a tag.
With the crowd demanding it, Jaguar slaps Cox's hand, and The Hardcore Icon
enters the ring.
Ferrara: I know that Kerry wants some payback for
getting the Dre Day Bomb two weeks ago, but is it wise for him to get in
there with The ORA Champion right now?
Romeo talks
trash to Cox, who shrugs off Da Playboi's words before locking up with him.
Romeo uses his strength advantage to easily muscle Cox back into a corner,
where Hansen calls for another break. Romeo gives it with a smirk, but its soon
wiped away as Cox decks him with a taped left hand!
Cox gets
Romeo up and sticks another fist in his jaw before whipping him towards the
ropes, but Romeo reverses it and blasts Cox with a huge clothesline on the
return! Romeo checks his mouth for potential bleeding before delivering a stiff
kick to the ribs of The Commissioner and then following it up with a standing suplex.
Romeo covers for a count of two before tagging in the now-ready Conroy.
Conroy enters
the ring and unleashes a series of hard kicks and stomps before applying a
blatant chokehold to keep him down. Hansen demands a break, but realizes it’s
hard to force The Boss to do anything. Conroy breaks the hold at the count of
five before locking Cox in a painful Camel Clutch. Cox winces in pain, unable
to find an escape. Jaguar steps in and provides one by taking advantage of
Conroy's exposed chest with a big diving clothesline!
Troy: Hey, he got the hold broken right?
Hansen
admonishes Jaguar, who laughs at Conroy's situation before yelling for Cox to
make a tag. Both men are close to their corners and Cox is nearing Jaguar, but
Romeo charges into the ring. Hansen is taken away from the action a bit as Cox
makes the tag to Jaguar, but before he can go after the still downed Conroy,
Hansen catches him and forces him to exit!
Jaguar
protests, but returns to the apron quickly before the opposition can do more
damage to his partner. Conroy tags Annetta back in, and The Lieutenant
Commissioner playfully kicks Cox around as he struggles to get up. Cox reaches
his knees, but Annetta connects with a right hand that sends him back down in a
heap. Annetta then stomps Cox again before calling for his famed Tommygun
Spinebuster to wrap it.
FAA gets a
groggy Cox up off the canvas and Irish whips him to the ropes. Annetta gets
into a linebacker's stance to lift him up, but Cox manages to stop short and
grab him by the head to drive him into the mat with The Coxsucker DDT! Cox
turns him over and covers for one...two...three!
"War
Machine" replays and the victorious duo of Jaguar and Cox leave the
ringside area to head up the ramp as they are announced as the winners.
* WINNERS VIA PINFALL: JAGUAR & KERRY COX *
Conroy, Summers and Romeo stand on with looks of shock on their faces as
Annetta rolls around on the mat, grabbing his head. The rest of The ORA enters
the ring and Conroy angrily demands a microphone from Lee Palmer as the music
goes down.
Conroy: Tony, what the hell was that?! Get up man!
(Annetta reaches his feet as Conroy's voice calms down) Tony, what happened?
You had us right there on the apron to help out and you lose to a little DDT
from that washed up nobody? What's wrong man? Are you alright? (Annetta nods
his head) Good, because I'm not.
Annetta looks
confused until Romeo blasts him from behind with his championship belt!
Annetta
barely hits the ground before Romeo angrily snatches him up and blasts him with
a huge Dre Day Powerbomb! Annetta clutches his back in agony, and Conroy tells
Romeo not to stop. Da Playboi gets Annetta back up off the canvas before
hoisting him up and flattening him with a second vicious Dre Day Bomb! Annetta
is flat on his back and Summers comes over to slap him in the face before
Conroy stands over him with the mic.
Conroy: Tony, one thing we do not accept around here
is mediocrity. You never even got that good. You were a failure from the get-go
and you will not fail us anymore. You sir, are FIRED!
The crowd
sits in stunned silence as Conroy leaves the microphone on Annetta's heaving
chest and exits the ring. Romeo shakes his head in disgust before climbing out
and Summers never looks back as she switches her way back up the ramp.
Not another
word is said as Annetta remains motionless, with the microphone used to end his
career still lying atop his prone body as Frequency fades to black.
