The FBI warning is the first image we see on the screen as the cameras
fade in, and when that shot fades out, a long video package airs, set to
“Knights of Cydonia” by Muse, the show’s official
theme song, highlighting the 12 spectacular matches we will see tonight, in the
form of clips spanning the PWA’s entire illustrious
history. As the video package concludes, we are taken inside the World’s Most
Famous Arena,
Ferrara: That’s right, Troy, and we’re going to do it with a whole host of
tremendous matches that are sure to leave a lasting impression indelibly etched
in the minds of all our great fans!
Troy: We will see Jaguar challenge Jason Calysto not only for the PWA
Championship, but perhaps for the right to call himself the greatest champion
of all time! We will see the legendary Vulture come out of his two-year
retirement for one night only to attempt to gain revenge on his former protégé
Jackie Baccaro in what should be a teacher vs. student battle for the ages! We
will see Speed Demon and Bishop Cross essentially fight to the death in a
Buried Alive casket match! We will see the International title up for grabs inside
the Elimination Chamber! We will see Magnifica and Morgan Day battle it out for
the Women’s Championship! Solomon will have Keiko Ishida in his corner to meet The Machine, with Walter Gindin! Anthony Failla battles
Romeo, who will have Camieko in his corner! Scythe will have a mystery partner
to meet GI Jew and Justice! John Wolfe defends the Progressive title against Soaring
Ferrara: That’s right,
The fans are still on their feet as
Troy: Alright, here we go, folks! The
rules of this match will be as follows. Two men will be in the ring at all
times. The first team to score a pinfall on another
team will win the match, and therefore challenge Mike Troha and Bodycount for
the championship later on tonight. Participants may tag ANY other competitor into
their match, not only their partner. And, since Epton and Anthony have already
wrestled tonight, it has been decided that it will be a member of TFU and a
member of Alpha Omega starting the match off.
* TRIPLE THREAT TAG
TEAM MATCH: TFU VS. ALPHA OMEGA VS. PAUL EPTON &
KRIS ANTHONY *
Referee: Billy Vargas
Greg Tantalus and Greg Price opt to start the match for their respective
teams, and they do so with a lockup Tantalus proves to be the aggressor in the
lockup, shoving Price down to the mat hard! Price springs back up, but Tantalus
grabs him and throws him violently into the corner! Tantalus then charges after
him and pounds him with a hard clothesline! As Price staggers forward, Tantalus
tags
Anthony enters the ring and goes right after Price, nailing him with
several stinging rights to the jaw, putting him off balance! Anthony then whips
him against the ropes and downs him with a hard back body drop as he returns!
Price gets up, and Anthony charges him, looking for a dropkick, but Price has
it scouted, and retreats to the corner, tagging in Steve Beovich. The Omega
enters the ring and dares Anthony to lock up with him. Anthony obliges, and
Beovich quickly shoves him down to the mat! Anthony is slow to his feet, but
when he does rise, Beovich whips him into the corner hard, and follows up with
a charge, looking for a big clothesline. However, Anthony counters, getting his
foot up, and nailing Beovich in the jaw! Anthony then nails the Omega down with
a hard bulldog, before retreating to his corner and making the tag to Paul
Epton! Epton comes in on fire, taking Beovich down with repeated dropkicks!
Greg Price then enters the ring, but Epton launches him to the outside!
Epton seems poised to charge Beovich, but Mike Griffin reaches out and
tags Epton from behind, tagging himself into the match!
The fans cheer thunderously as “Vicarious” by TOOL blares over the
speakers, and

PINFALL: TFU *
However, moments later, “Foxy Foxy” by Rob Zombie
hits, and the fans begin booing raucously as Commissioner Helen Summers shows
her face at the top of the ramp, microphone in tow.
Helen: Well, well. Congratulations. You
know, I applaud your efforts, and I applaud your victory, but I’m sorry to inform
you that you’re not done quite yet. And I’m not referring to your championship
match against Mike Troha and Bodycount later tonight. By virtue of this
victory, that match is yours, no matter what. However, I am requiring you two
to wrestle one more time tonight before the big title match. Now, your title match for later, that can’t be changed. You have
secured that for good. However, I am forcing you to another match, a match that
is right now. So gentlemen, meet your opponents.
With that, “What’s My Name” by DMX thumps onto the speakers, and the fans
are initially confused. However, when two large, assuming African-American
males step out from behind the curtain, longtime fans realize exactly who they
are, prompting an initial novelty pop, followed by a wave of boos.
The Rosedale Renegades waste no time getting to the ring, standing
across from TFU, ready to roll, as the bell sounds.
* TFU VS. ROSEDALE RENEGADES *
Referee: Billy Vargas
The fans are still buzzing as Mike Griffin and Rashaun
kick things off, with the burly Rosedale Renegade immediately establishing an
advantage, violently shoving Griffin down to the mat.
JHD continues to pound on
Ferrara: That was as vile a chair shot as I’ve seen in years,
The bell has rung to end this match, but the Rosedale Renegades have no
intention of listening to it. Rashaun shoves referee
Vargas out of the ring, and pulls

DISQUALIFICATION: TFU *
The camera cuts backstage, where Traci Reed is standing by with the PWA
Tag Team Champions The Miracle Mike Troha and Bodycount, along with their
manager Michelle.
Traci: Mike Troha, Bodycount, Michelle,
I’m sure you three had a lot to do with what just went on out there, but
regardless, TFU has been obviously battered and bruised by the Rosedale
Renegades, leaving them vulnerable for their title opportunity against you guys
later tonight. With all that in mind, what can we expect to see with the titles
on the line later on?
Michelle: What can you expect to see? Traci, it’s actually very simple. You
see, Mike Griffin, Greg Tantalus, they’re not the real TFU. This man, Mike
Troha, is the founder of TFU. We’ve been down that road before though, years
ago. This isn’t about that. This is about the fact that both of them have their
fair share of suffering to endure, to atone for the sins they’ve committed
against virtually everyone they’ve encountered. Myself
and Mike Troha, we fit into that category. Bodycount here is our extra large
insurance policy. But all that’s neither here nor there. You want to know what
to expect tonight? Tell her, Troha.
Troha: Tonight, Traci Reed, you, and everyone watching around the world, will
see the PWA come crashing down in what will be a beautiful sight to witness.
However, before we get that far, you will see TFU destroyed once and for all at
the hands of Bodycount and Mike Troha. You will see Michelle and I obtain
revenge for everything we deserve revenge for. And Traci, believe me, we’re
going to enjoy every second of it.
Traci: Alright guys. Vic, Paul, back to you!
Back at ringside, “Dance of the Warrior” blares onto the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Soaring
Phoenix makes his way to the ring for this Falls Count Anywhere Progressive
Championship bout.
Troy: Alright, it’s
Wolfe and
Ferrara: And falls count anywhere,

PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP: FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE: JOHN WOLFE © VS. SOARING
PHOENIX *
Referee: Jose Soares
The two waste no time getting into it, slugging it out back and forth as
the fans cheer on loudly! Wolfe establishes the initial advantage, whipping
Wolfe and
Ferrara: They will both clearly do anything to win,
The two battle to the center of the terminal, reaching a staircase and
escalator. The two battle up the stairs until they reach the small area where
Mike Troha threw Scott Hosemann off many years ago to win the CAW Championship.
Ferrara: They certainly gave it everything they had,
* WINNER VIA PINFALL
AND STILL PROGRESSIVE CHAMPION: JOHN WOLFE *
The cameras take us backstage to the
interview area, where Scott Cornelius is with Romeo and Camieko.
Cornelius: Romeo, it has now been several weeks since
Anthony Failla attacked Camieko backstage, and you are now moments away from
hopefully extracting revenge against him for those actions. But how do you feel
about this being your last PWA match?
Romeo: It’s a mixed feelin, dude.
On one hand, it’s a sad thing that this is it. I’ve had so many good times in
the PWA, but it’s a shame that’s all over with. It’s all over with before the
night even ends, because what’s about to happen ain’t
nothing nice. Once Failla decided to put his hands on the Hot Girl, he signed a
death wish. And I’m not talking about just his miserable career. I’m going out
there to hurt that man, nothing more and nothing less. I’m not here to lose,
but I am here to hurt. Let’s roll.
Cornelius: Guys, back to you.
We return ringside where the gunshots of “Shoot Outs” by Jadakiss
and Styles P boom through the arena for the arrival of Anthony Failla. The
hated
Failla walks up the ring steps and climbs into the squared
circle, where he waits as three D-Bombs whistle down and explode upon impact
with the ramp. Within moments, “Rumble Young Man Rumble” by Dipset’s
Juelz Santana hits and the crowd gives a huge ovation
for Romeo and Camieko. They walk through the remaining smoke with a purpose as
they head for the ring. Camieko waits behind as Romeo slides into the ring.
Failla is waiting for him and comes down upon him with a barrage of stomps as
the bell sounds.
* ROMEO VS. ANTHONY FAILLA *
Referee: Tom Stevens
Romeo tries to get up, but Failla keeps the pressure on with
more and more stomps before dropping Romeo on his back with a running knee to
the chin. After spewing some words to Tom Stevens, Failla gets Da Playboi up off the mat and
dumps him back down with a vertical suplex. Failla makes the first cover of the
match for one…two…and a quick kickout.
Failla gets Romeo off the mat and into the ropes where he
connects with a clubbing blow to the chest. He tries to Irish whip Da Playboi, but Romeo manages to
reverse the whip and score with a thunderous elbow to the chest on his return!
Failla gets back up and Romeo pops him with a huge right hand, followed by
another before hitting the ropes and scoring with a massive shoulder block that
sends Failla rolling under the bottom rope to the floor!
Romeo does just that and slides out of the ring to go after
Failla, but the crafty veteran sees him coming and takes the advantage with a
rake of the eyes. With Romeo temporarily blinded, Failla opts to grab a chair
from under the timekeeper to inflict more damage. He heads towards Romeo, but
Camieko cuts him off and stands in his way.
Troy: Oh Camieko, you do not wanna
do this!
Failla tries to lift the chair, but Camieko grabs one end of
it. Failla quickly tires of this and shoves the chair, sending her down hard to
the arena floor. This prompts Romeo to spring up and pounce atop Failla,
sending the chair flying as they tumble to the ground by the announce table!
Ferrara: This one is so persona,l Vic!
The fists are flying, but Romeo is clearly the aggressor.
Once he gets Failla back down, he grabs the long cord from the television
camera nearby and wraps it around Failla’s throat! Stevens forces Romeo to break and he does so before rolling
Failla back into the ring. Romeo then slides in himself and adjusts his black
bandana to signal for his signature Dre Day Powerbomb. As Failla begins to rise
slowly, Romeo rushes to lift him. Failla realizes the situation and drills a
hard fist into Da Playboi’s
midsection, stopping him in his tracks before scooping him up and driving him
down to the mat thunderously with The Almighty Sacrifice!
Failla stands up to smile a bit before attempting a cover,
but once he does, Camieko hops up on the ring apron to divert Stevens’s
attention. Failla is looking around to demand a cover, but doesn’t realize
Camieko is on the apron. Once he does, he goes over to grab the official.
Camieko drops down and so does Failla for his cover, but now he only gets a two
count as Romeo kicks out!
Troy: Alright, he kicked out, and Romeo probably has Camieko to thank for that!
An irate Failla rises from the canvas and grabs the referee
by his shirt to demand a faster count and a better job, but he goes back to
work by lifting Romeo off the mat and into a front facelock.
In position for a suplex, Failla lifts Romeo straight up into the air before
propping him atop the top turnbuckle. In an uncharacteristic move, Failla heads
up the ropes to give Romeo a superplex, but Romeo
blocks it. Da Playboi
scores with three hard shots to the head and Failla falls down hard on his back
on the canvas. Romeo regains his composure, but begins to stand up on the top
rope. With the crowd going crazy, Da Playboi jumps off and drives a Randy Savage-like elbow
right into Failla’s chest cavity!
As Failla clutches his chest, Romeo re-adjusts the black bandana,
and the crowd knows what is coming. Da Playboi brings Failla off the mat and into position before
hoisting him high into the air and flattening him with The Dre Day Bomb! Romeo
makes a cover and gets 1---2---3!
Failla: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it doesn’t
get much colder than that Dre Day right there.
“Rumble Young Man Rumble” replays as Romeo is announced as
the winner. The crowd cheers for he and Camieko to salute them before making
their collective exit, victorious for the final time.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL: ROMEO *
The camera shifts backstage, where Nick Cade is standing by with the
Modern-Day Samurai Scythe.
Cade: Alright Scythe, we are just moments
away from your big tag team match, and the whole world is
still anxiously waiting to see who your mystery partner is going to be. Any
last second hints?
Scythe: Sorry Nick, but you’re going to have to wait just a few more minutes
like everyone else. As for the match tonight, GI Jew, Justice, this has gone on
too long. Tonight, on the final night of the PWA’s
existence, we will settle this once and for all, and I don’t plan to lose. I
don’t plan to fail to be vindicated. Jew, Justice, tonight, my mystery partner
and I are going to cut you down, for good.
With that, Scythe exits, headed for the ring, as we return to ringside.
Back at ringside, “Opium of the People” by Slipknot blares onto the speakers,
and the fans begin booing loudly as GI Jew and Justice make their way to the
ring. Both men have a look of intensity on their face, as they prepare to let
loose another assault on Scythe, along with whomever he has selected as his
partner. Jew and Justice climb into the ring and await the arrival of their
opposition as the fans begin to buzz. Moments later, “With You” by
Jew and Justice are noticeably fuming in the ring, as Tortorici greets
Scythe at the foot of the ramp, and the two enter the ring. As soon as they
enter, Jew and Justice attack them violently, with Jew going after Scythe and
Justice going after Tortorici, prompting the bell to sound to get this one
underway.
* GI JEW & JUSTICE VS. SCYTHE &
MIKE TORTORICI *
Referee: Dan Martin
Justice takes all the wind out of the sails of the fans by clotheslining Tortorici over the top and out of the ring,
before exiting himself. Meanwhile, in the ring, Jew works over Scythe, gaining
a sizeable advantage from the get-go. Jew grounds Scythe with a series of
shoulder blocks, and keeps him down with repeated stomps to the midsection.
Scythe stumbles to his feet, but Jew nails him with several more shoulder
blocks, before whipping him into the corner and following him in with a hard
splash. With Scythe prone, Jew begins unloading on him with a flurry of
knife-edge chops to the chest, which reverberate throughout MSG. With Scythe
dazed, Jew perches him on the top rope, looking for a superplex.
Scythe tries to block it, but Jew is able to bull him over on his strength
alone, and he superplexes Scythe violently back into
the ring! The move takes a bit out of Jew as well, but he is able to crawl over
and make a cover… one, two, and Scythe kicks out. With Scythe down, Jew lifts
him up and whips him hard into the corner, tagging Justice into the match when
he does so. Justice then lifts Scythe up in gorilla press-position and Jew
holds his knee out, allowing Justice to drop Scythe stomach-first onto Jew’s
knee! Scythe is in pain, and Justice moves in for the kill.
Ferrara: That he does,
Justice lifts Scythe off the mat and downs him with a hard snap suplex,
continuing to silence the capacity crowd. Then, as Scythe stumbles to his feet,
Justice violently whips Scythe into the corner, following him in with a hard
clothesline. As Scythe staggers forward, Justice grabs him and drives him down
with a huge sidewalk slam! Justice covers… one, two, and Scythe kicks out.
Justice then sends Scythe back into the corner and charges in on him, but
Scythe gets a boot up and nails Justice in the jaw! Justice is spun around, and
Scythe charges at him and downs him with a hard bulldog! With the fans cheering
wildly, Scythe starts toward the corner, and Justice does the same. Justice
tags Jew into the match, and Jew charges at Scythe,
but Scythe is able to reach his corner just before Jew gets to him, tagging in
Tortorici!
Tortorici enters the ring and immediately downs Jew with a thunderous
forearm! Justice then returns to the ring, only to be knocked out of it by a
big boot from Tortorici! Jew gets up to his feet, and Tortorici grabs him by
the throat, looking for a chokeslam! Tortorici lifts
Jew up for the move and drills him down with thunderous impact! Tortorici
covers… one, two, and GI Jew kicks out! With that, Tortorici lifts Jew up,
calling for the Crucifix Powerbomb! Tortorici elevates Jew for the move, but
Jew slips out and shoves Tortorici hard, chest-first, into the turnbuckles.
When Tortorici staggers backwards, Jew grabs him and downs him with a hard back
suplex! Then, with Tortorici down, Jew signals for the Gore,
prompting the fans in the arena to boo raucously.
Troy: Oh no, not the Gore!
As soon as Tortorici rises, Jew charges forward with the Gore, but at
the last second, Tortorici moves out of the way, and Jew crashes shoulder-first
into the steel ringpost! Tortorici then looks to his
corner and quickly tags Scythe in! The fans are cheering wildly as the
Modern-Day Samurai positions himself behind an unsuspecting Jew, waiting for
his chance to strike. As soon as Jew turns around, Scythe grabs him and drills
him down hard with the Flying Dragon! Then, with Jew incapacitated and the fans
on their feet, Scythe heads to the top rope and leaps off with amazing
precision, nailing Jew squarely with the Diving Blade! Scythe hooks the leg…
one, Justice enters the ring, two, Tortorici enters and drills him down with a
big boot, three!
The fans cheer thunderously as “With You” replays and Scythe and Tortorici
celebrate victoriously in the ring. There is an embrace of thanks from Scythe
to Tortorici, before Tortorici gestures for Scythe to take his spotlight.
Tortorici applauds proudly in the middle of the ring as Scythe scales the
turnbuckles and soaks in the adulation of the crowd, finally vindicated and
victorious in his war with GI Jew.

The camera cuts backstage, where
Traci Reed is standing by with Solomon and Keiko Ishida.
Traci: Alright ladies and gentlemen, Everlasting Epic keeps rolling, and
coming up soon, we’re going to see Solomon, who will have Keiko Ishida in his
corner, take on The Machine, who will have Walter Gindin in his corner. Right
now, I am here with Solomon and Keiko and guys, the match is
coming up real shortly. What sort of things are going
through your head this close to match time?
Solomon: Well Traci, to be honest, I’m anxious. This match is a long time
coming, not just because I’m trying to avenge being pinned in the Symphony of Destruction
three years ago on a big stage for the first time, but because tonight is a
chance for both Keiko and myself to be vindicated in our war with Walter
Gindin. Walter, we were both very loyal clients to you, and you threw that
away. You took us for granted, and you treated us like meat, like animals, and
now, tonight, you will pay the price for it.
Tonight, Walter Gindin, I will break down your precious Machine, and if
you even think about getting involved, Keiko here will be right here to cut you
down.
With that, Solomon and Keiko walk
off, with Solomon clearly antsy, as we cut back to the arena.
Back at ringside, “
Swanson: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
this special Everlasting Epic edition of the Swan Song! Now, you know, my
personal belief is that Everlasting Epic hasn’t been nearly as good the past
few years without the Swan Song, and that my Swan Song with budding newcomer
Showtime Damon Savage and his promoter Not That Rodney King three years ago at
Everlasting Epic II was one of the greatest segments in Everlasting Epic
history. But I digress. I’m out here tonight to all of you a very special name
from this company’s great history. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you an
accomplished author, a world-renowned lounge singer, and the first color
commentator in PWA Frequency history! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… “The
Standard Sleaze” Don Cerrone!
With that, “Smooth Operator” by Sade hits, and Don
Cerrone emerges from behind the curtain to a rousing
round of boos! Cerrone, who now has a receding hairline and is wearing an overly-vibrant
Hawaiian shirt, along with short beige shorts and sandals, strolls to the ring
carrying a book under his arm, smiling, well, sleazily.
Ferrara: That’s a mighty good question,
In the ring, Cerrone enters and shakes
Swanson’s hand, and the two old friends prepare to speak as Cerrone
grabs his own microphone.
Swanson: Welcome Don, welcome!
Cerrone: Thank you, Henry. It’s great to be here.
Swanson: I must say, the PWA has certainly been a very dull place without you
around the past few years.
Cerrone: Well, I imagined as much. In fact, I’m
pretty sure that my not being here the last few years has been a direct reason
as to why this company is going out of business.
Swanson: You know, coupled with my departure, I think you’re absolutely right.
So, what have you been up to recently?
Cerrone: Well, I’m currently out on the road
promoting my new book, which I have right here, “How To
Disgust 30 People In Three Days.” I’d always wanted to get into those “how-to” books, it seemed like an untapped resource. It also includes
the official “Standardized Sleaze Test,” with questions handpicked by yours
truly. Also, since I’ve been gone, I published a second book, a follow up to my
hugely successful “Don Cerrone’s Standards of
Sleaze.” This one was called “Confessions of a Lounge Lizard: Don Cerrone’s Early Years.” These are all great books, daddy.
Swanson: Absolutely Don. Hey Don, what is your favorite all-time PWA memory?
Cerrone: Well that’s easy, Henry. I definitely remember
a time when…
Suddenly, “Hear Me” by Darkseed erupts onto the
speakers, and the fans begin cheering thunderously as Solomon and Keiko Ishida
make their way to the ring!
Solomon and Keiko Ishida enter the ring, and Swanson and Cerrone stand frozen in fear. As Solomon and Keiko stand
menacingly in front of the two, no one moves a muscle until Cerrone
pokes Keiko in the eye! As soon as he sees the opening, Cerrone
flees the ring and heads for the commentary table for shelter! Keiko goes after
him, but Swanson grabs Keiko by the ponytail and yanks her down to the mat,
screaming at her for ruining his show! With that, Solomon grabs Swanson by the
throat, lifts him up, and slams him down to the mat! As Swanson gets up, Keiko
charges at him and drills him with the running STO! With the fans cheering
wildly, Solomon peels Swanson off the mat and plasters him right back onto it
with the Deep Freeze! The fans cheer wildly, but suddenly, “H-K” by Fear
Factory hits, and the fans begin booing thunderously
as The Machine begins making his way to the ring, alongside Walter Gindin.
Meanwhile, at the commentary table, realizing the coast is clear now, Don Cerrone sits next to
Victor Troy and dons a headset.
Cerrone: Well Vic, my man, the Standard Sleaze needs
to lay low for a bit, and I figured what better place? You know, you and I, we were the first commentary team here in the PWA, months
before fat boy over here came on board.
Troy: Alright Paul, best of luck to you tonight. It’s been a real pleasure.
Cerrone: I thought that fatso would NEVER leave.
Cerrone: How what?
Cerrone: Must be your lucky day or something.
The Machine has now entered the ring, to a chorus of boos, and Gindin is
eyeing down Keiko on the outside. Machine and Solomon stand face-to-face,
silent, in the ring, as the bell sounds.
Troy:
Alright, here we go! We’ve been waiting for this one for quite some time!
Cerrone: Yes we have, and we will soon see the true
and utter dominance of the Machine!
Cerrone: Oh, I’m sure.
* SOLOMON VS. THE
MACHINE *
Referee: Jason Church
Solomon and Machine continue their staredown
after the bell has sounded, neither man anxious to make the first mistake.
Finally, the two lock up in the center of the ring, and the fans cheer the
lockup, cheering even louder when it ends with Solomon shoving Machine
violently to the mat! Machine gets up and immediately asks for another lockup,
looking to prove what just happened to be a fluke. However, the same result
occurs, with Solomon shoving Machine down once again, to the thunderous cheers
of the crowd! Machine gets back to his feet, and is this time a bit more
cautious when dealing with the Alaskan Monster. Machine and Solomon circle each
other, and this time Machine charges at Solomon, moving him with a shoulderblock. However, this seems to only serve to rile
Solomon up more, as he challenges Machine to charge him again. Machine does so,
and Solomon stands firm, moving Machine! With Machine a bit stunned, Solomon
charges at him and takes him down with a hard clothesline!
Cerrone: Maybe so far, but I certainly wouldn’t look
past Machine for a second!
Solomon moves in on Machine, pounding him with stomps, but Machine works
his way back to his feet, and begins taking over Solomon with hard rights and
lefts. Machine then whips Solomon against the ropes and destroys him with a
thunderous spinebuster as he returns! Machine taunts the crowd, which boos
heartily, as Gindin applauds him on the outside. Machine lifts Solomon up and
whips him hard into the corner, producing a hard crack as Solomon’s back smacks
against the turnbuckles! Solomon staggers forward, and Machine grabs him, tying
him in a hard bearhug! Machine squeezes the hold in
as hard as he can, screaming at Solomon to give up. However, the Alaskan
Monster will do no such thing, rallying the crowd for strength and support as
he tries valiantly to break the hold. Finally, with the crowd’s cheering at a
peak, Solomon is able to nail Machine with several stiff elbow shots to the
head, causing Machine to loosen his grip. Then, with one huge burst of
strength, Solomon breaks out of the hold, only for Machine to rear back and
nail Solomon right in the jaw with a thunderous shuffle side kick, downing the
monster in a heap!
Cerrone: Machine nearly took his head off with that
kick!
The fans boo heartily as Machine moves in for the kill, taunting Solomon
as he remains down and out on the mat. As Solomon slowly reaches his vertical
base, Machine is standing right there waiting for him, looking to finish him
off. Solomon makes it back up, and Machine grabs him, downing him hard with a
thunderous Rockbottom! Machine wastes no time, going
for an immediate cover… one, two, and Solomon kicks out! Machine looks stunned!
Cerrone: Well, I think it might have been a bit of
wishful thinking there, Vic. A man the size and power of Solomon, I don’t think
anyone really thought you could finish him off with one measly little Rockbottom. The litmus test here is going to be whether or
not Machine can apply that Jackhammer, and if he does, will that keep him down.
If he gets that Jackhammer on him and Solomon still won’t say down, well then I
think Machine would have a true, viable cause for concern.
Machine appears to have agreed with Cerrone,
as he quickly shakes off the surprise at not scoring the pin on the Rockbottom, and begins to look for his famed Jackhammer
finisher. Solomon is slow to his feet, and Keiko Ishida shouts words of
encouragement on the outside. Once the Alaskan Monster gets to his feet,
Machine grabs him in position and holds him there, smiling. Machine then lifts
Solomon up high in the air, holding him there for several seconds before
slamming him down thunderously with the Jackhammer! Machine hooks the leg… one,
two, thr-NO! Solomon kicks out!
Cerrone: Well, Solomon has now done it, and that is
NOT good news for The Machine!
Walter Gindin goes ballistic on the outside of the ring, and Machine’s
only reaction is to grab referee Jason Church by the shirt and scream at him
for blowing the count on that pin attempt. Church threatens to disqualify
Machine, but Machine makes a counter-threat, vowing to kill Church if he is
disqualified. Meanwhile, Keiko rushes over to the side of the ring where
Solomon is practically unconscious and shouts words of encouragement at him,
trying to will him back to his feet. However, it is to no avail. Solomon
remains out on the mat as Machine continues his tirade, and once Machine finishes
and turns his attention back to the Alaskan Monster,
he is still down and out. Seeing this, Machine signals for
another Jackhammer, to finish off Solomon once and for all. Machine
lifts Solomon up, and grabs him in Jackhammer position, but Solomon quickly
proves he was bluffing, as he scoops Machine up and effortlessly thrusts him
onto his back, before destroying him with the Deep Freeze! The fans cheer
thunderously as Solomon hooks the leg, making the cover… one, two, three!
Cerrone: Wow, Vic! All I can say is… wow!
The
Cerrone: No! Please! What did I do?!
Keiko rips Cerrone out of his seat and hurls
him onto the mat, but Cerrone gets to his feet and
begins trying to run away! However, he bumps into a production assistant, and
instinctively turns around, at which point he is nearly decapitated by a
charging Ishida and her famed running STO! The fans cheer wildly at this, and
Keiko then enters the ring, where she and Solomon surround Walter Gindin!
Gindin pleads with them to spare him, but Keiko is the first to emphatically
reject this plea, charging at him and flooring him with a thunderous
clothesline! Keiko then lifts Gindin up and whips him into Solomon, who crushes
him with a thunderous big boot! Then, from there, with the fans cheering
wildly, Keiko watches as Solomon pries Gindin off the mat, tosses him onto his
shoulders, and crushes him down with a furious Deep Freeze! The fans then
continue to cheer their heads off as referee Church raises the hands of both
Solomon and Keiko and “Hear Me” booms throughout MSG one final time.
Troy: What a crushing and emphatic
victory for Solomon and Keiko Ishida over their former manager Walter Gindin,
following Solomon’s hard-fought defeat of the Machine! What a moment this is,
and what a night this has been thus far! Unbelievable!
* WINNER VIA PINFALL:
SOLOMON *
Backstage, we see Scott Cornelius standing by with the International
Champion Dexter P. Wellington, his butler Winston, and valet Liz Rush.
Cornelius: Mr. Wellington, it is finally
upon us. After weeks of waiting, we are now just moments away from the
Elimination Chamber bout to decide who will leave
With that,
Madsen: I’m real good, Troy, and I am psyched to be
out here at Everlasting Epic V! It’s been a long journey for all of us here in
the PWA, and though I’m sad it has to end tonight, I wanted badly to do some
commentary at the show, and I’m glad I’m now getting my wish.
Troy: I’m glad too, Rick. You’re a fine commentary, and it will be my honor to
call these next few matches with you. But with that, let’s shift gears to a
more serious situation, the Elimination Chamber. Let’s take a look.
A video package takes over, set to “Locked and Caged” by
Egypt Central, highlighting the events swirling around the International
Championship since June. It shows James Biamonte winning the title from
Showtime Damon Savage at Symphony of Destruction, followed by his subsequent
loss to Renegade on Frequency. Renegade is then shown losing the title at
Meltdown, thanks to a miscue from Savage, and Mike Grieco is shown turning on
Biamonte to cost him a title shot in the same match, and that section concludes
with Liz Rush helping Dexter P. Wellington pin Paul Dawkins to claim the gold.
Renegade is then shown turning on Dawkins, and the wild melees from the past
few weeks of Frequency, complete with Helen Summers signing the Elimination
Chamber match bring the package to a close.
At its conclusion, we return to ringside, where we can see
the Elimination Chamber set up and ready to go surrounding the ring. The fans
cheer loudly at the structure, but begin booing raucously when “Marriage of
Figaro” by Mozart overtakes the speakers, prompting the arrival of the
International Champion Dexter P. Wellington. Neither Liz Rush nor Winston is
present as he makes his way out from behind the curtain, as
Troy: These first four men to enter,
Rick, are the four people that did NOT draw numbers one or two in the pre-match
drawing, and will go straight into one of the chambers. Once the four chambers
are filled, the two individuals that will be starting this match will be
introduced.
Madsen: Interesting.
Moments later, “Still Ballin” by 2Pac hits, and
the fans continue booing loudly, this time at the arrival of James Biamonte.
Like
Troy: Alright, here we go! It’s the
Elimination Chamber! Every three minutes, another of those cage doors will
open, following a pre-determined order, releasing another of the competitors
into the Elimination Chamber! The last man standing when all five others have
been eliminated will be the final PWA International Champion! Wellington is the
champion, the other five have all been two-time champions, and no man has ever reigned three times! There are tremendous
implications here!
Madsen: And look at how we’re starting this off! It’s Dawkins vs. Renegade,
former tag team partners, former best friends, and winners of the Tag Team of
the Year award at our awards ceremony last night! This ought to be mighty
interesting!
* PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP:
ELIMINATION CHAMBER: DEXTER P.
Referee: Matt Hansen
Renegade and Dawkins are hesitant to lock up inside the Chamber as the
match gets going, but the fans are cheering loudly, anticipating the battle.
Renegade trash-talks his former tag team partner, which gives Dawkins just
enough incentive to lock up. The two do just that in the center of the ring,
and Dawkins develops the immediate advantage, shoving Renegade to the mat to a
loud ovation! Renegade chuckles lightly and gets to his feet, with new focus.
The two lock up again, and this time, Renegade breaks up the tie-up with a
series of kicks to the midsection. With Dawkins doubled over, Renegade nails
Dawkins with a swift roundhouse to the head that floors him! Wasting no time,
Renegade goes for a cover… one, two, and Dawkins promptly kicks
out. Renegade grabs Dawkins as he slowly gets back to his feet, and Irish whips
him hard, sending Dawkins flying over the top rope and to the outside, landing
on the perimeter of the Chamber outside of the ring. Renegade then lifts
Dawkins up and smashes his head against the wall of the Chamber, which
immediately sends Dawkins back down. Renegade continues to stomp away on
Dawkins, pressing the advantage, as the first countdown begins.
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0! As the buzzer sounds, a spotlight flickers from chamber
to chamber, until it stops on the one containing the International Champion
Dexter P. Wellington!
Madsen: It sure is,
Madsen: Yeah, interestingly enough, his biggest issue with any of these men in
the ring is with Renegade, and that dates back to last year.
Biamonte predictably goes right after Renegade, and the two begin
slugging it out, as Dawkins continues to pound away on
Madsen:
Showtime enters the ring on fire, downing everyone and everything in his
path! Renegade charges at him and Showtime downs with a hard back body drop!
Then Biamonte charges, and Showtime nails him with a
vicious axe kick! Dawkins walks over, and is nailed with a right hand! And then
Madsen: And now all the participants have entered the Chamber! These guys are
now just gonna fight it out for the International Championship, and the last
one of them standing will emerge with the gold!
Upon entering, Grieco immediately goes after Biamonte, spearing him down
to the mat to a thunderous ovation! Grieco refuses to get off Biamonte, until
Biamonte is able to reverse the momentum and get on top of Grieco! Meanwhile,
Dawkins and
Madsen: No he won’t, and now there are just five men left to compete for the
gold!
Showtime re-enters the ring, and immediately goes after James Biamonte,
who is controlling his battle with Mike Grieco. However, on the other side of
the ring, after beating Dex Wellington nearly to a
bloody pulp, Dawkins signals that it is time to put
Madsen: Biamonte is opportunistic, Troy, and he’s doing whatever he can do to
get ahead in this match. It’s unfortunate for Dawkins to have his PWA career
end in that fashion, but life goes on, and so does this match! We’re now down
to our final four! Showtime, Grieco, Biamonte, and
Biamonte immediately scoots over and covers
Madsen: And these fans love it!
Troy: We sure are, Rick! We have two former two-time champions
in Grieco and Showtime, perhaps the two most prolific two-time champs we’ve
ever had, and the reigning champion
Grieco heads back into the ring, but as soon as he does,
Madsen: This is incredible, Troy! I thought for sure Wellington was going to be
the first guy out of here, but now, there’s a very legitimate chance that
Wellington is simply going to hold back the challenge of all five of these guys
and no one will get that distinction of being the only three-time champion!
Showtime slowly gets to his feet and
Madsen: I don’t know how Showtime is going to escape this,
Showtime struggles mightily in the hold, refusing Matt Hansen when asked
if he wants to give it up, and battling hard to retain consciousness. Finally,
out of desperation, Showtime leaps up and kicks off the turnbuckle pads,
sending
Madsen: This is unbelievable, Troy! What a moment!
The fans go ballistic as “Footprints” blares onto the speakers, and
Showtime Damon Savage is awarded the International championship belt for a
record third time. Showtime is noticeably emotional as he raises the belt high, pointing back at the fans in appreciation for all the
support they have given him throughout the years.
* WINNER AND NEW
INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION: SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE *
The camera retreats back to the dressing room, where the PWA
commissioner Helen Summers is with PWA president Bryan Conroy and Rudy
Montenora, as the pair gets ready for tag team action in just a few moments.
Helen: This is it, guys. This is what
you’ve been waiting for. This is a chance to rip the heart out of the fans and
all the wrestlers in the back, by taking Kerry Cox, taking Superstar Scott
Hosemann, even taking that fat tub of lard Paul Ferrara if he gets in our way,
out. We can take them all out! And once we do that, it will set off a chain
reaction the rest of the night. Now, we’ve suffered one defeat already, in that
Anthony Failla was beaten by Romeo, but at the same time, we’ve also enjoyed a
victory, in that the Rosedale Renegades have decimated TFU and have made them
easy pickings for Mike Troha and Bodycount later this evening. A win here for
us, gentlemen, and I think we will see ourselves enjoying a Magnifica victory
over Morgan Day, a Jackie Baccaro thrashing of Vulture, Troha and Bodycount
annihilating TFU, and quite frankly, any other destruction we might want to
cause this evening. But remember, this all starts with you.
Conroy: Oh believe me, Helen, we’re well aware of that
fact. And you’d better believe we’re planning to do everything in our power to
get it done.
Montenora: Be it Cox, Hosemann,
Helen: Excellent. And hey, if you guys DO need any help, that’s what friends are for, right?
The trio then begins laughing as the camera cuts away, shifting to
another portion of the backstage area, where we can see Jaguar intently doing
warm-ups as he prepares for his main event PWA Championship match later
tonight. However, as he does this, he stops short in his tracks when a man
walks past him and stops directly in front of him. The sight of this man
elicits cheers from the MSG faithful in the arena, but Jaguar just stares at
him suspiciously. When the camera pans back, we can see that the man is
Vulture! Jaguar is still a bit wary, until his old friend extends his hand for
Jaguar to shake it. Jaguar obliges, and then smiles appear on both their faces.
Jaguar: After all that’s gone down since
you started managing Baccaro, I was beginning to wonder how you were coming at
me.
Vulture: Now you know everything that happened while I was managing Baccaro was
strictly business. I did what I had to do to get that
ungrateful kid ahead, and at one point, you were the obstacle. So we did what
needed to be done. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m here now because it’s
been far too long since I came at you as a friend and wished you the best of
luck. So, Jag, best of luck tonight.
Jaguar: Thanks brother, and I’ll throw the same right
back at you. Be careful out there, but at the same time, show this kid who’s boss. If anyone is gonna humble this punk, it’s gonna
be the guy who taught him everything he knows.
Vulture: You know it. I know it’s cliché, but it’s
very true here. I taught him everything he knows, but I didn’t teach him
everything I know.
Jaguar: Very true.
Vulture: Alright bro, well I’ll let you get back, I just wanted to wish you
luck, and when this is all over, when we can sit back and reflect on our
careers, knowing we’ll never have to subject our bodies to this again, let’s go
grab a beer, for old times’ sake, reminisce about old times, and look forward
to days to come, when we’re two old men hanging out on your front porch,
remembering all the great matches we had together, as partners and as
opponents.
Jaguar: That sure sounds good to me.
Vulture: Me too.
Jaguar: Aight brother, go handle your business. I’ve gotta handle mine.
Vulture: Sounds good, bro. I’ll catch you later.
The two slap hands and pull each
other close for a half-hug, before Vulture exits. Jaguar then returns to his
warm-ups as the camera cuts away.
The camera is now in the dressing room of Kerry Cox and Superstar Scott
Hosemann, who are warming up for their bout, alongside Paul Ferrara.
Ferrara: This is it, guys! This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! In
just a few short moments, we’re going to go out there, and you two are going to
leave everything out there for these people, and give them something to smile
about, something to go home happy about. You are going to DESTROY Bryan Conroy
and Rudy Montenora, and even though the PWA may be coming to a close here
tonight, you are going to show them what the PWA spirit is all about, the
unbreakable PWA spirit! The time is here, guys! The time is here!
Hosemann: Jeez, Paul, we know!
Cox: (laughing) As fired up as you are, Paul, I’m
surprised you didn’t brace up your leg and offer to fight in this match
yourself!
Cox: Settle nothing, we need you out there, man.
Hosemann: Absolutely. With Helen Summers in their corner, we’re gonna need
someone to neutralize her effect.
Cox: (laughing) If only PWA wasn’t ending. You could launch a whole new career
with that name!
All three chuckle.
Cox: C’mon men, it’s time. Let’s go kick some ass.
With that,
Back at ringside, we see commentators Victor Troy and Rick
Madsen seated with a vaguely familiar face that we haven’t seen in years.
Troy: Alright ladies and gentlemen, we’re
going to keep Everlasting Epic rolling here, and as you can tell, we have
ourselves a special guest right now.
Madsen: That’s right, folks. Doing guest color
commentary with us for this next match is Anthony DeBonis,
a former Frequency color commentator, and a man who knows all four of the
participants in this next bout quite well.
DeBonis: That’s right, Rick. You know, I’ve wrestled
against Bryan Conroy, Rudy Montenora, Kerry Cox, Scott Hosemann, and even Paul
Ferrara at various points throughout my career, so I figured who better to do
some guest commentary? I can bring a perspective to this match that neither Vic
nor Rick here can bring, so I’m excited to ply my commentating trade here once
again for this bout.
The fans begin cheering thunderously as “Superstar II” by Saliva
overtakes the speakers, and Superstar Scott Hosemann begins making his way to
the ring to a thunderous ovation! Hosemann heads to the ring, alone, soaking in
the adulation of the crowd for the first time in over a year, and it obviously
serves to pump the Superstar up. Hosemann finally takes his place in the ring,
and moments later, “War Machine” by KISS thumps onto the speakers, and the fans
begin cheering wildly as the Hardcore Icon Kerry Cox makes his way to the ring,
alongside Paul Ferrara!
Troy: Alright, this one is ready to go,
and it sure is a big one!
Madsen: Absolutely! Cox and Hosemann can gain a sense of vindication for us all
right here!
DeBonis: Right, but they could also lose and
personify our suffering. I hate to be a downer, but it’s true.

Referee: Billy Vargas
Conroy stands in the center of the ring, ready to get this
match underway, and Kerry Cox opts to start it for his team, eliciting a
thunder clap of cheers from the crowd. However, just as Conroy prepares to lock
up with Cox, Conroy pulls away and tags Montenora into the match, prompting the
fans to boo thunderously. Montenora enters the ring and locks up with Cox, and
Cox immediately takes Montenora down with a big hiptoss!
Montenora springs up and claims that Cox had his hair, but referee Billy Vargas
doesn’t believe this for a second. Realizing the claim is fruitless,
Montenora gets up and prepares to lock up with Cox again. However, right before
the lockup, Montenora nails Cox with a cheap sucker punch, gaining the
advantage. Montenora then whips Cox against the ropes and downs him hard with a
clothesline as he returns. Montenora works over Cox with repeated stomps,
before pausing to taunt the MSG crowd, which responds with hateful boos in his
direction. With Cox down and somewhat incapacitated, Montenora tags Conroy into
the ring, who enters and goes right after Cox, stomping away on his legs,
trying to take his vertical base away from him. Cox screams out in pain as
Conroy ties him in a leg grapevine and ties it in tightly.
DeBonis: This is a sound strategy by Conroy here. A
big part of Cox’s game is the explosiveness of his offense, and his legs are
way more valuable to him than you might think.
Madsen: Well, I’d think everyone would agree that legs are a valuable thing to
have.
Cox struggles in the move, but ultimately is able to reach the ropes,
forcing the hold to be broken. Conroy waits until the last possible second to
relinquish the hold, prompting the crowd to boo loudly. Conroy then taunts
Hosemann on the apron, and Hosemann responds by trying to dart into the ring to
get at him, but this only serves to allow Conroy to throw Cox into his corner
and double-team him with Montenora behind the back of the official! Finally,
the referee turns back around, and Montenora has already safely exited the
ring, and Conroy is working over Cox viciously in the corner. Conroy nails Cox
with a series of stiff knife-edge chops, before tagging Montenora back into the
match. Montenora enters the ring and immediately nails Cox with several stiff
elbow shots to the jaw, dazing him in a big way. Montenora then whips Cox
against the ropes and downs him with a big-time powerslam
as he returns. Montenora goes for the cover… one, two, and Cox just gets a
shoulder up!
Madsen: He sure is!
DeBonis: He may be, guys, but he still needs
desperately to make a tag.
Montenora whips Cox into the corner and perches him on the top rope,
preparing for a huge superplex. However, when
Montenora attempts the move, Cox is able to block it and send Montenora
crashing back down to the mat with a hard shove! Montenora slowly gets up to
his feet, and when he does, Cox leaps off the top rope and downs him with a huge
missile dropkick! The fans are on their feet as Cox crawls to the corner!
Montenora makes it to his corner and tags Conroy in. Conroy charges Cox, but
just before he can reach him, Cox makes the tag to Hosemann, and the Garden
goes wild! Hosemann hits the ring and floors Conroy with a huge right hand!
Then Montenora gets up, and Hosemann downs him with a big right as well! Conroy
runs at Hosemann again, but the Superstar sees it and back body drops Conroy to
the mat! Hosemann then turns around, right into a Superkick from Montenora, but Hosemann catches his foot,
spins him around, and drills him with the Superstar Stunner! The fans are
ecstatic, but Helen Summers jumps onto the apron and climbs into the ring,
protesting loudly and boisterously. In the midst of this, she takes of her
high-heel shoe and discretely tosses it to Conroy, who drills Hosemann in the
head with it, knocking him down hard! Conroy goes for a pin and the referee
turns around… one, two, and Cox comes in for the save! The fans cheer, but Summers immediately enters the ring and pulls Cox up,
shoving him away! The referee gets in Helen’s face, but suddenly, Paul Ferrara
hobbles into the ring, and Summers shrieks in fright!
Madsen: So much for prim and proper Helen Summers! I don’t think she’ll ever be
clean again,
DeBonis: A Stinkface on PWA
telelvision! I really HAVE seen it all now!
When
DeBonis: Whoa! Look at Victor Troy getting animated!
Does he do this often?
Madsen: He has his moments.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Hosemann is up, and he and Conroy are
exchanging blows. Conroy whips Hosemann into the ropes, but Cox reaches out and
makes a blind tag as Hosemann bounces off. Hosemann ducks under a Conroy
clothesline, and as soon as he does, Cox spins him around and drills him down
viciously with the Coxsucker DDT! Montenora, who is
up, but dazed, immediately storms the ring, but Hosemann greets him with
another Superstar Stunner! Cox then yells for Hosemann to lift Conroy up.
Hosemann obliges and, with a look of sheer intensity on his face, Cox begins
shouting at Conroy, asking what happened to him over the years, and how things
got to where they are now. When Conroy responds merely by
spitting directly in Cox’s face, the Hardcore Icon merely smiles. Then,
seconds later, Cox boots Conroy in the gut and drills him with another impactful Coxsucker DDT! The fans
are cheering wildly as Cox turns Conroy over and hooks the leg… one, two, three!
Madsen: This truly is a great moment, folks!
DeBonis: Absolutely! And give the big assist there to
Paul Ferrara, because if he doesn’t get Helen Summers out of the ringside area,
she remains a factor in constant distractions of the official.
The fans are going ballistic as “War Machine” by KISS replays over the
speakers, and Cox, Hosemann, and
* WINNERS VIA
PINFALL: KERRY COX & SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN *
The camera shifts to the backstage area, where the PWA Women’s Champion
Magnifica is pacing back and forth, preparing to head to the ring. Noticing her
apprehension, Jackie Baccaro walks over.
Baccaro: Nervous?
Magnifica: (scoffing) Are you serious? What the hell do I have to be nervous
about, Jackie? I am the greatest female competitor this industry has ever seen,
and I’m about to go prove it.
Baccaro: Hey, I didn’t mean anything by it. You just looked a little nervous to
me, that’s all.
Magnifica: Listen Jackie, when I want advice or a pep talk from you, I’ll ask
for it. You just worry about taking care of our friend the cripple later tonight, and not dropping the ball and validating everything
that son of a bitch has had to say. That’s your objective for the night. Mine
is to beat Morgan Day to an inch of her life, and make her regret the decision
to ever join the PWA in the first place, even as the company is ending. If I
look nervous, maybe it’s because I’m nervous for her parents, because they’re
about to have to watch their daughter get beaten to a bloody pulp. Oh that’s
right, she was orphaned, her parents are dead. So they can’t care. Maybe I feel
sorry for her fiancé, who will have to deal with a woman that hardly resembles
the woman she used to look like. Oh wait, her fiancé is Vulture, who I wouldn’t
piss on if he were on fire. So I guess that means I’m not nervous, Jackie. It
means I’m focused. I’m focused on doing exactly what needs to be done to get
the job done, and I will stop at nothing to do it. And Jackie, believe me, I
hope you’re approaching your match the same way. Now wish me luck, and if I
seem bitchy today, it’s because I’m a bitch. So what did you expect?
Baccaro: It’s the whole not winning Woman of the Year, isn’t it?
Magnifica: Goodbye, Jackie. I’ll see you when it’s over.
Baccaro: Alright. Good luck out there!
Magnifica then exits, a definite look of focus, mixed with undeniable
nerves, etched on her face as she heads to the ring.
A
video package airs, set to “Call Me When You’re Sober” by Evanescence,
highlighting the intense feud that has been waged between Women’s Champion
Magnifica and challenger Morgan Day, culminating in tonight’s championship
bout.
Back at ringside, we are taken to commentators Victor Troy and Rick Madsen.
Troy: Alright folks, it’s now time for
our Women’s Championship bout.
Madsen:
Moments later, “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus
blares onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering thunderously as Morgan
Day emerges from behind the curtain! Morgan’s face and mood appears different
as she walks through the PWA curtain as a competitor for the last time, looking
extremely focused, and extremely ready for the challenge that lies ahead of
her. Morgan’s pyro shoots from the turnbuckles as she enters the ring, and the
former champion then stretches out on the ropes, ready for her final challenge.
As her music dies down and she waits in the ring, “Cuz
I Can” by Pink hits, and the fans burst into uproarious boos as the Women’s
Champion Magnifica makes her appearance, in her long pink overcoat and pink
hat, adorned with a single white feather. The fans shower Magnifica with
expressions of the utmost hatred as she hits the ring and readies herself for
battle. Magnifica loses her entrance garb, whips off her sunglasses, and
removes her title belt, handing it to the official. Referee Dan Martin then
holds the belt high as Magnifica and Morgan stare hatefully at each other and
the bell sounds!
Troy: Alright, here we go!
Madsen: Who will leave here the last PWA Women’s Champion? We’re about to find
out!
* PWA WOMEN’S
CHAMPIONSHIP: MAGNIFICA © VS. MORGAN DAY *
Referee: Dan Martin
Morgan’s face has a look of stone on it as Magnifica stares
back at her. However, Magnifica soon breaks this look, smirking at Morgan,
before lashing out at her with a series of insults that only Morgan can hear.
From there, it doesn’t take Morgan long to respond, as she tackles Magnifica to
the mat and begins pounding away on her furiously! Morgan unloads on her with a
series of furious rights and lefts, with closed fists, prompting the referee to
break it up and threaten to Morgan that he would disqualify her if she didn’t
lay off the closed-fist shots. Morgan obliges, but then pounces
right back onto Magnifica and begins strangling her with all her might! The
referee counts to four, and Morgan breaks the choke right before the count of
five, which would have been an automatic disqualification. However, she doesn’t
give Magnifica a moment to recover, grabbing her leg and stomping away on it
with repeated swift kicks!
Madsen: You might even say that she’s already starting to try to soften her up
for the Sharpshooter.
Magnifica finally pulls herself to the ropes, and referee
Dan Martin has to physically put himself in the way, to prevent Morgan from
continuing this assault. However, this act gives Magnifica a moment to regroup,
and it also gives her an opening to strike. Sure enough, after Martin pulls
Morgan away, Magnifica responds with a chop block to Morgan, taking her down
hard. Morgan clutches her right leg, and Magnifica immediately goes to work,
tying Morgan in a painful figure-four leglock! Morgan
shouts in immense pain, and Magnifica locks the hold in tighter, looking to
break Morgan’s leg if she has to, as long as she walks out of here with the
Women’s Championship still intact. Morgan struggles violently in the hold, and
Magnifica feeds into that, feeling at several points she is mere milliseconds
away from forcing Morgan to tap out. However, Morgan is able to persevere,
finally reaching the ropes!
Madsen: No,
Magnifica reluctantly breaks the hold, and then begins laying
into Morgan with a series of hard stomps, not allowing her to get back to a
vertical base. With Morgan down, Magnifica taunts the hateful crowd, and gets
back to work. Magnifica applies a reverse chinlock to
Morgan, wrenching in on the hold tightly, trying to slow the pace of the match
down and not let Morgan establish any sort of momentum. However, despite Magnifica’s best efforts, Morgan begins rallying the crowd,
which in turn gets her own adrenaline pumping. With the MSG faithful fully
behind her, Morgan gets herself back to her feet and creates some separation
between herself and Magnifica with some stiff elbow shots to the gut! Once the
hold is broken, Morgan bounces off the ropes and comes charging back at
Magnifica, looking for some sort of maneuver, but Magnifica is right there, and
floors a running Morgan hard with a dropkick right to the face! Magnifica goes
for the immediate cover… one, two, and Morgan kicks out!
Madsen: It was certainly closer than I thought it would be,
Magnifica indeed questions referee Dan Martin about the
speed of the count, and then she returns to work, stomping away on Morgan
viciously. Magnifica then yanks Morgan to her feet by her hair and begins
shouting obscenities in her face! Magnifica then slaps Morgan hard across the
face, before whipping her thunderously into the corner. Morgan,
semi-defenseless, is positioned in the corner as Magnifica charges and crashes
into her hard with a cross body block. Magnifica then perches Morgan on the top
rope, and unloads with a thunderous superplex from
the top, all the way down to the mat, in crushing fashion! Magnifica covers…
one, two, and Morgan just barely kicks out! Magnifica is frustrated, but tries
to hold her frustration in as she drags Morgan to the corner. From there,
Magnifica scales the turnbuckles, and dives off the top rope with a beautiful moonsault, the likes of which not seen from her in years!
Magnifica connects with Morgan full force and hooks the leg! One, two, th-NO!
Morgan kicks out!
Madsen: It isn’t, Troy, and I think because Morgan DID kick out of it, a move
that Magnifica doesn’t pull out all the time, sort of an ace in the hole for
her, Magnifica is feeling a little bit of desperation now, and perhaps a
realization that it’s going to take a whole hell of a lot to put Morgan Day
away.
Magnifica is furious after the kick out, screaming at the
referee that three MUST have been registered. Finally, once she gets a hold of
herself, Magnifica screams, “that’s it!” and signals for the Breakdown. Magnifica
waits impatiently for Morgan to rise, screaming at her to get up. Finally, when
Morgan does, Magnifica goes for the finisher, but Morgan counters with an elbow
to the side of the head! Magnifica is momentarily dazed, and Morgan takes
advantage of the opportunity, nailing Magnifica with a muay
thai kick to the head!
Magnifica goes down to one knee, as Morgan didn’t get all of the kick, but
Morgan looks to press the advantage, bouncing off the ropes and returning,
looking for a shining wizard, but Magnifica ducks down, and Morgan soars over
her head! Morgan then gets to her feet, but Magnifica positions herself behind
her and rapidly drills Morgan down with the Breakdown!
Madsen: This might very well be it,
Magnifica breathes a slight sight of relief after hitting
the move, and then she goes for the cover, hooking the leg tightly… one, two, thre-NO! Morgan somehow kicks out! The fans burst to their
feet, cheering wildly and rabidly, and Magnifica looks like she has seen a
ghost! Magnifica springs to her feet and grabs the referee by the shirt,
screaming at him that he counts too slowly. Referee Dan Martin shoves her off,
and Magnfiica tries to regroup herself, as she is
quickly losing complete control. Her breathing is heavy, sweat is pouring down
her forehead, and her eyes are wide. Wide with fear.
Magnifica counters this by getting a running start and nailing Morgan with a
violent kick to the ribs. She then turns Morgan over and gets in her face,
spitting in it! From there, Morgan springs up and ties Magnifica in a small
package! One, two, and Magnifica just barely escapes!
Madsen: She did,
Magnifica springs up, but this time Morgan is back to her
feet, and she begins pounding away thunderously on Magnifica with furious
rights and lefts! Morgan sends Magnifica off the ropes and drills her down with
a huge back body drop upon her return! Magnifica is slow to her feet, but when
she gets to her knee, Morgan clobbers her down again with a huge shining
wizard! Morgan opts to not even go for the cover, instead taking her position
in front of Magnifica and waiting to strike. When the champion does rise,
Morgan nearly takes her head off with the crack of a hard muay
thai kick! With Magnifica
down again, the fans begin cheering ecstatically, feeling that the end could be
near! Morgan gets ready, waiting for Magnifica to get to her feet once more.
Madsen: And if it is, Troy, I’ve GOTTA believe that
it’s over!
Magnifica, stunned and dazed, stumbles back to her feet, and
Morgan grabs her for the Daybreak! However, Magnifica elbows out of it,
positions herself for another Breakdown, and goes for it! However, Morgan
elbows HER way out of THAT move, spins Magnifica around, boots her in the gut,
and drills her down thunderously with the Daybreak! The fans are on their feet,
jumping up and down, but Morgan refuses to go for the cover!
Madsen: C’mon Morgan, it’s in the bag! You’ve hit the move! Pin her, Morgan!
You’ve got to pin her!
Morgan stands above the champion, and a sadistic smile
creeps across her face. Morgan makes the thumbs up sign to the crowd, and then,
to an overwhelmingly thunderous ovation, she turns her thumb down, repeating
Bret “Hitman” Hart’s classic signal for the
Sharpshooter, one that was later adopted by Vulture! Morgan grabs Magnfica’s legs and ties them into a grapevine, before
turning her over and completing the Sharpshooter, locking it in full force,
right in the center of the ring! Magnifica, half conscious, screams out in
immense pain, pain she simply cannot withstand! Ever several excruciating
moments, Magnifica does the only this she can do, and taps out!
Madsen: She didn’t want to pin Magnifica,
The MSG crowd comes unglued as “Dead Promises” replays over
the speakers, and Morgan Day is reunited with the Women’s Championship belt she
was screwed out of some three months ago! Morgan holds the belt high and climbs
up to the middle rope, prompting even more cheers to permeate through the
Garden! Morgan soaks in the celebration as long as she can, still standing in
the ring celebrating as Magnifica regains consciousness and, furious, tries to
get back in the ring and back at Morgan, having to be restrained by officials.
Magnifica is taken to the back, but Morgan is undaunted, continuing to
celebrate in the ring, knowing that she has finished her PWA career in the
absolute best way she could: by capturing the Women’s Championship with a
tremendous victory over her most hated enemy. As such, the look on Morgan’s
face is one of complete satisfaction and vindication as she continues to soak
in the deafening cheers and the camera cuts away.
