SEGMENT 8:
BACKSTAGE:
We return
from the break to find the arena security still trying to back Anthony Failla
from the ring, where Mike Grieco is being attended to. As they shove him near
the arena exit, they run into Bryan Conroy, who is absolutely seething.
Conroy: Let him go for a second; let him go! Failla, I
told you after your fit at Everlasting Epic that this can't happen again and
how do you respond? By doing it again Sunday night in
Failla: So?!
Conroy: So, you're gonna have plenty of time to get your
act together Anthony. Because I can't have a loose cannon ruining our events
like this, you're suspended for a month! Now get him the hell outta here!
Security
grabs Failla again and he scoffs at Conroy before being led out of the arena.
SEGMENT 9: RINGSIDE:
Back at
ringside, “F*ckin in the Bushes” explodes onto the speakers and the crowd
begins cheering rabidly as the Iceman Jason Calysto makes his way to the
ring. Calysto smiles from ear to ear as
he grabs a microphone and steps into the ring.
Calysto: Wow, it’s always great
to get a reception like that. You know,
I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d make it here tonight, but I’m sure glad I did. I sent Machine’s ass home packing and it felt
great! And to boot, I’m one of five
finalists to be named number one contender to the PWA Championship later
tonight. Unbelievable. It’s been a long, hard road back, and I’m
sure you have some questions. The one I’ve
heard most often is what’s next for the Iceman?
It’s a good question, but the answer isn’t really hard to find. Still not sure what I’m talking about? Let’s roll the videotape.
A clip from the
The camera cuts backstage, seeing
Jason Calysto, his bags over his arms, saying goodbye to several people as he
reaches the exit of the building. However, standing in his way is his old
friend Tony Annetta. The two stare each other down briefly, but Annetta
reaches out and extends his hand. Calysto skeptically looks at Annetta,
wary of Annetta’s intentions. However, before Calysto realizes what is
happening, he turns around to see The Machine standing behind him,
smiling. Calysto finds himself surrounded and stands his ground, but is
blindsided from the side by Infernus, who has just returned to the backstage
area from his match! Calysto hits the ground and the three men stomp
viciously on the Iceman. Infernus picks Calysto off the ground and slams
his head into a wall! Then, Annetta goes to the door and kicks it open,
holding it open as Machine and Infernus grab Calysto off the ground and toss
him right out of the building! Machine, Annetta, and Infernus then walk
away feeling vindicated, as the doors leading to the outside slam shut, Jason
Calysto on the outside, gone forever from the world of the PWA that lies inside
as Frequency fades to black.
The
camera then cuts back to live action, where Calysto is standing in the ring.
Calysto: In case any of you were
wondering, I didn’t forget about that night.
Three men combined to ruin what was to be my last night in the PWA. Those three men were The Machine, Tony
Annetta, and Infernus. Well, Machine is
history. I got rid of him on Saturday
night. That leaves two names on my hit list. And I’ll say this much: I’m not gonna be hard
to find. Any time, any…
Just then, “Cold
Under Water” hits the speakers and superagent Walter Gindin makes his way to
the ring, microphone in hand. Gindin is
booed loudly as he stands face to face with Calysto.
Gindin: You know, Calysto, I
could help but hear you mention two of my clients by name.
Calysto: Well then, we’ve established
the fact that you’re not deaf. I want
Annetta and Infernus, and I want them in the ring.
Gindin: (smiling) Ask and you shall
receive.
Calysto, confused,
turns around, only to find Infernus and Tony Annetta standing behind him with
steel chairs in hand! Infernus and
Annetta, who snuck in through the crowd, proceed to do a vicious number on the
Iceman, nailing him with a con-chair-to that sends Calysto crumbling to the mat
bloodied. The two continue to beat him
senseless with the chairs until a parade of officials hit the ring and we go to
commercial break.

10: MATCH 3: PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: CAMIEKO © VS. JADE:
Referee:
Dan Martin
Back
from the break, “Zerospace” by Kidneythieves is blasting over the speakers and
Jade is standing in the ring with her agent Walter Gindin, ready for her shot
at the Women’s Championship.
Troy: Folks, we’ve just gotten word that
due to the attack just perpetrated by Infernus and Tony Annetta, Jason Calysto
has been rushed to a local medical facility and thus cannot attend tonight’s
press conference. In effect, Paul, these
guys have cost Calysto a shot at the title.
Moments later, “Hot
Like Fire” by Aaliyah takes over the speakers and the fans cheer loudly for the
new Women’s Champion Camieko as she heads down to the ring. Camieko, who has no love lost with Jade or
Gindin, quickly gets herself down the aisle and into the ring, prompting the
bell to sound.
Troy: And here we go, Camieko’s
first title defense!
Camieko and Jade
lock up in the middle of the ring, with the champion getting the better of the
first exchange. Camieko hiptosses Jade
to the mat and ushers her to get back to her feet, which angers Jade. Jade gets back up and gets into another
lockup, and Camieko tosses her to the mat again. Jade now gets up, charging at Camieko, but the
champion floors her with a big dropkick!
Camieko goes in for the kill from here, but Walter Gindin jumps onto the
apron, distracting referee Dan Martin.
However, seeing this, Camieko runs and dropkicks Gindin off the apron!
In the midst of this
confusion, Jade spins Camieko around and positions her for the side effect, but
Camieko powers out of it, whips Jade around, and blasts her with a big
spinebuster! Then, with Jade prone,
Camieko goes to the top and jumps off with a huge St. Kinard Splash, connecting
with authority! Camieko hooks the leg…
one, two, three!
The referee hands
Camieko her belt as “Hot Like Fire” takes over the speakers again and the crowd
cheers rabidly. Walter Gindin enters the
ring as Camieko exits, producing a brief staredown, before he helps Jade to her
feet and we take a commercial break.

11: MATCH 4: SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN & BRIGGS VS.
SPEED DEMON & JUSTICE:
Referee:
Jose Soares
The
sounds of "Want" by The Cure introduces Speed Demon to the
Briggs and Demon
battle it out as Hosemann and Justice spills over to the outside of the ring,
continuing their battle with no regard for the referee. Briggs lifts Demon up,
but Demon slips out and lands behind Briggs. He latches onto Briggs' legs and
pulls hard, making Briggs plaster his face against the canvas. Demon locks in a
Boston Crab and wrenches hard. Meanwhile on the outside, Justice gets the
better of Hosemann with a spinebuster that makes the Superstar roll around in
pain. Justice heads back to his corner as Demon lets up on the hold and tags in
the former Progressive Champion. Justice storms into the ring and pounds on
Briggs, then lifts him up and plants him with a back suplex as Hosemann manages
to get back to his corner after a few moments of resting. Justice drags Briggs
off the mat and tosses him into the ropes, but is given a big clothesline for
his troubles. Justice hits the mat hard and Briggs goes to his corner to tag in
Hosemann.
Hosemann goes to work on Justice, hammering him with lefts and rights while
he's still down as Reaper, a former member of Schenck's group, appears at the
top of the ramp. He slowly makes his way closer to the ring, and Schenck
finally notices his presence. Schenck stares at Reaper for a few moments as he
stops at the foot of the ramp. Hosemann hits Justice with a big sidewalk slam,
while Reaper completely ignores Schenck and wanders to the opposite corner,
where he stops. He stares up at Demon, who returns the stare, albeit a confused
one. Demon continues to watch Reaper as if he was waiting for him to do
something, but Reaper merely stands there and watches Demon. Finally, Reaper
moves away and begins to head back up the ramp, but his eyes never left Demon.
Utter confusion and anxiety plagues Demon. Hosemann kicks Justice in the gut
and goes for the Superstar Stunner, but Justice pushes Hosemann into the ropes.
When Hosemann returns, Justice uses his momentum and tosses Hosemann several
feet into the air, landing him hard on his back.
Justice tags in
Demon with a slap against the arm, but Demon is still staring at Reaper.
Justice nudges him a little harder and finally gets his attention, and Demon
reluctantly gets into the ring. Demon heads to the ropes closest to the ramp,
mouthing words off to Reaper as Hosemann crawls back to his corner. Reaper
responds with an arm gesture, attempting Demon to turn around, but it is too
late. Briggs is tagged into the match and spins Demon around, booting him hard
in the gut. Briggs grabs Demon and lifts him above his head, then sends him
plummeting into the canvas for a devastating powerbomb. Briggs effortlessly
covers for the three count.
Reaper turns and
leaves as Justice pulls Demon out of the ring, while Earshot's "Control"
hits and Briggs lifts his arms high. The crowd boos as Schenck and Hosemann
join him in the ring in celebration. They pose on all sides of the ring, and
Schenck and Briggs slide out and begin to leave. Hosemann tries to follow suit,
but Dean Nash jumps in through the crowd and rushes the ring, tackling Hosemann
to the ground and pummeling his head in. Briggs quickly notices this and heads
back to the ring, but Nash retreats the same way he entered, and the audience
cheers him on as we go to commercial.

12: RINGSIDE:
The camera returns
ringside, where Bryan Conroy is standing in the ring, which is covered with a
red carpet and has been removed of its ropes, and behind a podium.
Conroy:
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, without any further adieu, it’s time to
name the number one contender to the PWA Championship. Since Jason Calysto has been taken to the
hospital tonight, he is officially out of the running to be named the
challenger at Walking Wounded, so would the four remaining finalists please
make their way to the ring now.
Moments later, “Have You Ever Felt” by Ill Nino blasts onto the speakers
and Hollywood Mike Griffin and Smooth Greg Tantalus make their way down to the
ring, in tandem, to a large chorus of boos.
They don’t come alone, however, as Lauren Tantalus accompanies them down
to the ring. As
Conroy:
Alright, since we’re running out of time with the broadcast, I’m not
going to waste any time. The man chosen
as the number one contender and the man who will challenge Scythe for the PWA
Championship on September 25 at Walking Wounded is… Jaguar!
The fans cheer rabidly as “I Got That Fire” blasts onto the speakers and
Jaguar rises from his seat. Romeo stands
up with him, and after a moment of silence, the two pound fists and Jaguar
heads to the podium. As the music stops,
Jaguar begins speaking.
Jaguar:
I’d just like to thank everyone for supporting me in getting this crack
at the title that I personally feel I’ve deserved for a long time. You know, GI Jew will contest this till the
day he dies, but I know I had him at Meltdown, and I’ll always think that Mike
Griffin robbed me of the Everlasting Epic shot.
But that was all made right when I beat his ass three nights ago, and
now, I’ve got the shot I…
Jaguar isn’t allowed to finish speaking, however, as he is attacked from
behind by
Troy:
So this is it, ladies and gentlemen!
