MELLON ARENA

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

SEGMENT 8: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, we see Hollywood Mike Griffin, Smooth Greg Tantalus, and Lauren Tantalus celebrating in the backstage area.

Griffin:  Can you believe the odds?  A vicious attack perpetrated on one of our opponents, and for once, we actually had nothing to do with it!

G. Tantalus:  I guess we can all look forward to a nice, easy handicapped match tonight.

Lauren:  Ha ha ha, yeah.  Jaguar and Camieko will BE handicapped once this match is over.  I'm gonna break Camieko in half for stealing my women's title.

Tantalus:  And with no one to help him, Jaguar has no prayer against myself and Griffin.

Lauren:  Guys, I have a favor to ask.

Griffin:  What is it?

Lauren:  After you're done taking out the trash with Jaguar, can I pin him?  Last week, he said he was embarrassed to know me.  This week, I want to embarrass him even further... by pinning him right in the center of the ring.  He thinks just because he's Vulture's friend, he has a right to judge me.  No one judges me.  I want to show him that tonight.

Griffin:  (smirking) I like that.

Tantalus:  Me too.  Tonight, not only will we destroy Jaguar and Camieko, but Jaguar, the three-time PWA Champion, is gonna be pinned by a woman.

The three then share a good laugh as the camera cuts away.

SEGMENT 9: BACKSTAGE:
The camera rushes backstage and wanders into a room that Justin Schenck, Superstar Scott Hosemann, and Briggs are occupying. The crowd boos immediately at the sight of this. Hosemann is sitting on the couch as Schenck is busy pumping up Briggs for his upcoming match.

Schenck: This is a big match for you, Briggs. And when you win, we’ll take one large step towards ruling this company. I’m telling you, when you crush GI Jew in a few moments, it’ll prove to everyone how dominant we are. You are over three hundred pounds of pure muscle. You are bigger than him, and you are stronger than him. Go into that ring tonight, and show GI Jew where he should be: at your feet! Kissing them and begging you not to kill him! I want you to not only beat GI Jew, but to destroy him! And when you’re done, bring us back the glory that we deserve!

Briggs releases a war cry and barges out of the room, heading for the ring. Schenck wears a wide grin as the scene fades and we head to a commercial.

SEGMENT 10: MATCH 4: GI JEW VS. BRIGGS:
Referee: Matt Hansen

Matt Hansen waits in the ring to officiate the next contest as Slipknot's "Opium of the People" hits for the entrance of GI Jew. The speakers nearly blow from the song's impact, but the decibel level is rivaled closely by the crowd pop for the former PWA World Heavyweight Champion as he rides his motorcycle to the ring. Jew climbs in and salutes the crowd as "Control" by Earshot takes over.

Justin Schenck leads the monstrous Briggs to the ring amidst a loud sets of boos, but the cocky young manager is obviously excited about the opportunity presented to his charge as he climbs over the top rope and into the ring.

Ferrara: Do you realize how big of a match this is for Briggs? If he beats GI Jew, who is the only Grand Slam Champion in history, its gonna make a huge statement. This could be the biggest match of his career!

Troy: That's a good point, but GI Jew also needs to get a win here. Briggs is just a little smaller than Solomon, so a win over Briggs here can give him quite the psychological advantage against an even bigger man like The Alaskan Monster.

The bell sounds and both men lock up hard in the center of the ring. Jew digs down for an advantage, but Briggs powers out and muscles Jew down hard to the canvas. GI Jew looks on in amazement as the powerful Canadian poses to show his strength.

Jew uses the ropes to pull himself back up and they lock up again, but Jew goes to his brawling ability with a knee to the gut and staggering Briggs with a big right hand to the face. Jew gets another shot in and whips Briggs towards the ropes, but the whips is reversed. Briggs tries a big clothesline, but GI Jew ducks it before hitting the ropes and scoring with a big shoulder tackle that sends Briggs to the canvas!

Briggs gets up, but Jew stays on the offense by bum rushing Briggs into a corner and unloading with two hard shoulder shots to the midsection. Jew delivers a big reverse knife-edge chop to the chest and tries to whip Briggs to the opposite corner, but Briggs reverses and Jew slams his back tremendously hard against the turnbuckles. Jew staggers out of the corner holding his lower back, but that leaves him open for a thunderous boot to the face from Briggs!

Troy: What a shot by Briggs!

Ferrara: Cover him!

Briggs covers for 1----2--- and Jew gets and arm of the mat. Briggs quickly lifts Jew off the mat and hoists him almost effortlessly over his head before slamming him down after a military press. Briggs covers again, this time getting another long two count. Schenck yells for Briggs to wrap things up and the big man calls for his impressive powerbomb.

Troy: Briggs is looking for that big powerbomb here.

Ferrara: I have yet to see anyone kick out of that move. If Briggs can hit it, GI Jew won't get up!

Briggs gets GI Jew into position and lifts him, but Jew fights back with hard punches to the head. Briggs stumbles backwards and drops Jew, who lands on his feet and knocks Briggs down with three gloved right hands to the head. Briggs is dazed as he gets up, but he charges at GI Jew. Jew is waiting on Briggs and catches him to deliver a big spinebuster that sends him back down to the mat!

Schenck calls for Briggs to get back into the match as Jew goes into a corner to set up for The Gore. Briggs gets to his feet, but can't react fast enough as Jew charges and leaves his feet to take him down with a spine-jarring Gore! Jew covers and hooks both legs for Hansen to count one...two...three!

Troy: GI Jew wins it with The Gore!

Ferrara: Justin doesn't look the least bit pleased.

Jew gets up and Hansen raises his arm in victory, but neither see Solomon run out from the crowd and club Jew in the back. As Walter Gindin runs down the ramp, Solomon lifts Jew onto his shoulders and slams him down hard with a Deep Freeze!

Troy: What a Deep Freeze on GI Jew!

Ferrara: Gindin says to keep going Troy!

At Gindin's urging, Solomon lifts Jew from the mat and nails him with a second Deep Freeze! Hansen calls for the bell as Gindin yells for Solomon to continue the assault.

Troy: He's calling for another one!

Ferrara: Even GI Jew can't take three Deep Freezes like this! Hell, nobody can get up from one!

Solomon yells at the lifeless GI Jew before picking him back up and connecting with a third vicious Deep Freeze right onto Jew's face! Gindin smiles a twisted grin as Darkseed's "Hear Me" begins. Solomon stands over GI Jew and raises his arms high as Hansen tries to awaken the now unconscious victim of The Alaskan Monster.

WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 10:31: GI JEW

SEGMENT 11: BACKSTAGE:
A camera is set backstage, where Jaguar and Camieko are preparing for their upcoming matchup. Jaguar pounds his now taped fist and Camieko looks up after finishing her warmups.

Camieko: I guess we've got a handicapped match now.

Jaguar: I haven't heard nothin about Rome yet, so I guess we do. I can't beat TFU by myself, no one can. So the way to win is getting over Lauren. If you can get to her---(looks away) Hey man.

The shot cuts away to show the PWA Champion Scythe in his ring gear at the door.

Scythe: I saw what happened to Romeo earlier and it looks like you guys could use a hand, so I came to let you know that I'm willing to take his place.

Jaguar: Well consider yourself in cuz, thanks.

Scythe: Don't mention it. Let's just get the job done out there.

Camieko picks up her championship belt and all three head through the door and towards the ring.

SEGMENT 12: MATCH 5: TFU & LAUREN TANTALUS VS. PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SCYTHE, JAGUAR & PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION CAMIEKO:
Referee: Jose Soares

“Have You Ever Felt” by Ill Nino hits the speakers, sparking a huge array of boos as Lee Palmer speaks over them.

Palmer: The following contest is our main event and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a total combined weight of 517 pounds, the team of Lauren Tantalus, “Smooth” Greg Tantalus and Hollywood Miiiiiike Griffinnnn!

The trio steps into the ring and cockily pose to thunderous boos until Aaliyah’s “Hot Like Fire” begins.

Palmer: And their opponents, first, from Richmond, Virginia, she is the PWA Women’s Champion, Caaaamiekoooo!

Camieko arrives to a nice ovation, but its paled in comparison as Juvenile and Manny Fresh’s “I Got That Fire” begins.

Palmer: And her partner, from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing 242 pounds, this....is....Jaaaaag-uarrrrrr!

Jaguar arrives to an amazing ovation and poses in front of his flaming fireworks and joins Camieko at the bottom of the ramp as Linkin Park’s “With You” takes over.

Palmer: And their partner, from Simi Valley, California, weighing 254 pounds, he is the PWA Heavyweight Champion of The World and The Modern-Day Samurai, he is....Scyyyyyythe!

Scythe makes a fiery entrance, but his massive pop is cut short as TFI and Lauren attack their opponents outside the ring. Scythe quickly drops his entrance gear and joins the fray by trading blows with Greg Tantalus.

Troy: Didn’t take long for this one to break out in a brawl!

Lauren swings a right hand at Camieko, but it’s blocked and the champion scores with a flurry of her own. Tantalus is backed into the ring and Camieko follows her inside. Tantalus backs off, trying to create distance between herself and Camieko, but the champion stays the aggressor and kicks Lauren down to the canvas.

Camieko hits the ropes for a running attack, but she’s tripped up from the outside by Griffin as he passes by. Camieko falls face first on the mat and Lauren Tantalus takes the advantage by springing to her feet and unloading with boots to the back of the champion.

Tantalus scoops Camieko from the mat and holds her in a front facelock before scoring with an impressive vertical suplex. She floats over into a pin and gets a count of two before getting up and tagging in her brother, Greg.

Troy: Oh, wait a minute here. Greg Tantalus isn’t actually going to wrestle Camieko now, is he?

Ferrara: I can’t see why not. Camieko is the Women’s Champion, you know they always feel they’re on the same level as the men.

Troy: But Greg is bigger, stronger and a former World Heavyweight Champion. He could hurt her seriously here!

Ferrara: And it looks like he will.

Tantalus grabs Camieko by the hair and immediately goes for The Big O. He holds Camieko in the air for seemingly an eternity, but that gives her enough time to reach down and rake his eyes. Tantalus drops her and Camieko bursts towards her corner to make a tag to Jaguar!

Troy: Now the odds are even!

Jaguar enters and takes Tantalus down with two clotheslines before picking him up and delivering an inverted atomic drop. As Tantalus clutches his injured groin, Jaguar hits the ropes and floors him with a jumping side kick.

Tantalus rolls around and stumbles back up to his feet and Jaguar kicks him in the gut before blasting him with Version 1.0! Jaguar covers for one....two...thr-and he’s stomped in the head by Griffin!

Troy: Jaguar had the match won there!

Ferrara: Well now TFU is in the driver’s seat.

Tantalus makes the tag to Mike Griffin, and he continues his earlier assault by grabbing Jaguar in a waistlock and nailing him with one, two, and then a third Germen suplex. Jaguar is flat on his back as Griffin slowly begins to climb up to the top rope. He flips backwards and nails his impressive moonsault from the top and covers Jaguar for one....two.....and Jaguar barely gets a shoulder up before three!

Ferrara: That was three!

Troy: Tom Stevens says it was a two count and his is the only opinion that matters in there.

Ferrara: Well mine matters out here.

Jaguar gets to his knees and Griffin stalks him from behind for The Culmination, but Jaguar senses him coming and mule kicks him in the midsection! Griffin doubles over in pain and Jaguar manages to drill him with a DDT! Needing a tag, Jaguar heads to his corner for Scythe, but Greg Tantalus also enters, taking Stevens’ attention away as he makes the tag!

The arena explodes as Scythe enters the ring and unleashes a furious assault on Griffin, beating him with hard chops to the chest. Greg Tantalus tries to stop him, but he runs into a superkick that lays him flat!

Tom Stevens goes over to Scythe to get him out of the ring, but the champion will have none of it, feeling he is legal.

Troy: Scythe isn’t leaving the ring!

Ferrara: He thinks he’s the legal man, but Stevens never saw the tag!

Griffin begins to make it to his feet slowly, as Jaguar does the same. Scythe waits on Griffin and thrusts out another kick, but Griffin ducks it and the boot connects with Jaguar’s jaw!

Scythe stands over Jaguar in shock, allowing Griffin to dropkick him backwards right out of the ring! Tantalus rolls atop Jaguar and Stevens counts to three!

Troy: What the hell?!

Ferrara: Scythe has just knocked Jaguar right out!

Troy: That had to be an accident!

Ferrara: Accident or not, it has cost them this match!

Scythe rolls back into the ring as “Have You Ever Felt” replays and TFU quickly exit with Lauren as Camieko stares blankly at Scythe, who shakes his head in disgust as Frequency comes to a close.
