TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2005 * JACKSONVILLE VETERANS MEMORIAL ARENA * JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

Back from commercial, we see Traci Reed standing by with PWA owner and CEO, Kerry Cox.

Traci: I'm here with Kerry Cox, and Mr. Cox, I have been told you have an announcement to make.

Cox: That's right, Traci, I do. I'm sure we all saw what happened right before the commercial break during Scythe's public workout. An entire melee broke out. Well, I saw an opportunity there. So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna have ourselves an eight-man tag team match, right here next week on Frequency in Washington, DC. It's going to be the team of the PWA Champion Greg Tantalus, Jason Calysto, Scythe and Jacksonville's own Jaguar (crowd cheers thunderously in the arena)... going up against the Progressive World Champion Jackie Baccaro, Romeo, Hollywood Mike Griffin and Jonathan Brett. Obviously that Progressive World Championship could be in different hands by next week, and I know this crowd hopes it is, but that's the match regardless. Enjoy the rest of the show, everyone.

Traci: Alright, Vic, Paul, back to you guys at ringside!

Troy: Thanks, Traci.

"Arcarsenal" by At The Drive-In hits, and the crowd gives up a very favorable reaction for The Miracle Mike Troha as he comes out for his quarterfinal International Title tournament match.

Troy: And here comes Mike Troha, he looked very sharp last week against The Legacy.

Ferrara: He did, and I know he's looking to keep that ball rolling tonight against Mike Grieco. Troha is a former PWA Champion, and after suffering that bad injury last year, he's ready to add The International Title to his mantle.

Troy: It'd be an incredible comeback story, but he needs to get past Grieco first here tonight.

Troha climbs into the ring and poses on the turnbuckles for the crowd until "Da Repercussions" by 50 Cent begins and Mike Grieco comes out to a chorus of boos. Grieco simply scoffs at the crowd and still does his usual musclebound posing before climbing into the squared circle.

Troy: Grieco suffered a big setback against James Biamonte at Everlasting Epic, but its hard to argue that he's not synonymous with The International Title.

Ferrara: Absolutely, the guy is the only man to hold that title three times, but he's also looking forward to a rematch with James Biamonte, and he can have that if he beats Troha tonight.

* PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT - QUARTERFINALS: THE MIRACLE MIKE TROHA VS. MIKE GRIECO *

Referee: Billy Vargas

Grieco enters and poses on the turnbuckles before climbing down and turning his attention to Troha. The bell sounds and both men circle the ring. Troha shoots in for a lock up, but Grieco delivers a kick to the stomach, doubling him over early. Grieco follows up with another and connects with a right hand that sends Troha reeling into the ropes.

Grieco Irish whips Troha towards the other side, but the whip is reversed. Troha hits Grieco with a blow to the midsection before grabbing him by the head and taking it backwards against his kneecap! Troha makes a cover for one...two...and Grieco kicks out.

Troy: Too early in the match for a cover, but that move might linger on long enough to really hurt Grieco down the road.

Troha gets Grieco off the canvas and drops him with a scoop slam before dropping an elbow on his chest. Troha covers for another two count that Grieco muscles his way out of, so The Miracle opts to wear down the powerhouse with a side sleeperhold. Grieco reaches his vertical base and tries to find an escape, and he does so as he grabs Troha around the waist and blasts him with a major league back suplex! Both men are down on the mat and boos ring out as the spotlight shines on Justin Schenck, as he walks down the ramp to look on from ringside.

Troy: Now what the hell is he doing here?!

Ferrara: Scouting.

Troy: Scouting what? He has no Legacy members remaining in the tournament!

Ferrara: Whatever Troy, all we know is that he sure isn't out here to help Mike Troha.

Grieco rises first and Schenck nods to him as he gets Troha off the mat. Grieco grabs Troha and pulls his arms behind him as Schenck hops up on the ring apron. Completely ignoring Billy Vargas' warnings, Schenck climbs up and swings a right hand at Troha, but The Miracle ducks and the fist connects with Grieco's jaw!

Troha breaks free and nails Grieco with a back elbow before grabbing Schenck by the suit jacket and walloping him with a hard right! Grieco comes up and charges for a clothesline, but Troha ducks it and waits for him to turn around before lifting him up and nailing him with Divine Intervention! Troha hooks a leg and covers for one....two....three!

Ferrara: Justin's interference backfired!

Troy: And now it will be Mike Troha, not Mike Grieco, that moves on to face James Biamonte in the semifinals next week!

"Arcarsenal" replays loudly as Troha exits victorious, leaving both Grieco and Schenck steaming mad as we head to a commercial break.

* WINNER VIA PINFALL: THE MIRACLE MIKE TROHA *

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from break, the camera takes us backstage, where Progressive World Champion is on the ground, feverishly doing push-ups, while Vulture stands over him with a stop-watch, counting them off. As he continues, Morgan Day walks into the room and makes a face as Vulture calls time.

Vulture: Great job, Giacomo. That's 75 in 60 seconds.

Baccaro: I could do better.

Vulture: I know. But you don't want to over-exert yourself this close to match time.

Morgan: (sarcastically) Oh no, of course you don't.

Vulture: (annoyed) What do you want, Morgan? We're trying to get ready. Jackie's defending his title against Jaguar in a rematch, we need him to be in tip-top condition. We're probably going to need you out there, so don't go far.

Morgan: I won't be going any further than the ring. You ARE aware that I myself have a match in about five minutes.

Vulture: (getting less annoyed) Yeah. You're right. I'm sorry. Jackie, cool down, take five. Alright Morgan, you have my full attention. You want to go over last-minute strategy, you want me to come to the ring with you? I'm here for you, what do you want?

Morgan: (laughing) Oh no, I won't be needing any help preparing. It's a tag team match against Jade and Camieko. Please. A simple "good luck" would suffice.

Vulture: Fine then. Good luck, Morgan.

Morgan: Thank you.

Baccaro: Yeah, good luck.

Morgan: I suppose I should say the same back to you, but you simply won't need it, because I'm going to be at ringside.

Baccaro: What are you trying to say?

Morgan: Oh nothing. Just get back to your push-ups, I'm sure you'll figure it out one of these days. Alright gentlemen, the time has come. I'm heading to the ring.

Vulture: Alright Morgan, kick some ass out there. We'll be waiting for you back here after the match, gotta go over some strategy.

Morgan: Yes, I'm sure we do. Must make sure dear Jackie doesn't lose his poor wittle belt, right? (laughing) Don't worry, I'll be here.

As Morgan turns to exit, she finds the doorway blocked by the PWA Women's Champion Keiko Ishida and her manager Walter Gindin. Morgan and Keiko stare each other down intently, and Gindin flashes a huge smile.

Gindin: There we are. Get in the zone, ladies, because we have a big tag team match up next. You two don't have to like each other, but in just a few minutes, you two ladies will have a job to do together. I'm looking forward to it. Think of it as the start of a beautiful friendship. Do you two have anything to say to each other?

Morgan and Keiko continue to stare each other down, neither woman so much as blinking for several moments.

Morgan: I never forgot about what happened.

Keiko: Neither did I.

The staredown continues and Gindin, realizing the potential severity of the situation, chooses to take his meal-ticket and bail.

Gindin: Alright then. We'll see you out there.

Gindin takes Keiko and exits, leaving an intense Morgan behind, standing at the exit.

Vulture: Morgan, what the hell happened between you two?

Morgan: Not now. That's a story for another time. I've got to go work off this aggression, batter some girls to a bloody pulp.

Vulture: Hey, if you want to work off some aggression...

Morgan: Shut up Vulture, I'll kill you.

Vulture and Baccaro share a chuckle as Morgan storms out, headed for the ring, as we take a break.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

As we return from break, "The Horror" by RJD2 blasts onto the speakers and the fans deliver a mixed reaction as Morgan Day makes her way to the ring. The camera flashes back to the squared-circle, where we see Jade and Camieko already standing inside, awaiting their competition. Morgan walks to the bottom of the entrance ramp and stands there, ready for the arrival of her partner. Several moments later, "The Stone Monkey" by Kazu Matsui hits and the Jacksonville crowd showers the PWA Women's Champion Keiko Ishida with boos as she makes her way to the ring alongside Walter Gindin. Keiko and Morgan exchange a glare as they both enter the ring, and choose to take out that aggression on their opponents as soon as they do so, prompting the bell to ring.

Troy: Morgan and Keiko are wasting no time taking the fight right to Jade and Camieko!

Ferrara: Troy, they want to be doing that to each other, but the nature of this match won't allow it, so I really feel bad for Camieko and Jade in there tonight.

* PWA WOMEN'S CHAMPION KEIKO ISHIDA & MORGAN DAY VS. CAMIEKO & JADE *

Referee: Dan Martin

Morgan is stomping Camieko into oblivion in one corner, and Keiko is pounding away on Jade in another. Keiko sets Jade up at the ropes and charges at her, clotheslining her over the top rope so hard that Keiko herself also flies over the top and out! Morgan and Camieko are left in the ring the legal women. Camieko tries to battle her way out of the corner, but she finds herself terribly overmatched. Morgan whips Camieko into the ropes and nails her with a devastating back body drop that reverberates throughout the arena. Camieko gets up and Morgan whips her hard into the corner, charging at her and nailing her with a splash. Morgan continues to work on her, but Keiko slaps Morgan hard in the back, which technically constitutes a tag. Morgan and Keiko stare each other down, before finally switching in the ring, with Keiko continuing to work on Camieko.

Troy: It is more than evident that these two ladies simply do not like each other, Paul.

Ferrara: Well, it's also very obvious that there's some kind of history there that we are just not privy to, and I'm sure if we could find out exactly what has transpired in the past with these two women, it would be a lot easier to understand the hostilities.

Jade looks antsy in her corner, screaming at Camieko to tag her into the match, but Camieko is too busy getting repeated knife-edge chops to the throat from Keiko Ishida. Camieko tries hard to fight back, but Keiko is too much for her. Keiko downs Camieko with a furious savate kick to the jaw, and patiently waits for her to get up, sizing her up. However, as Keiko does this, Morgan discretely tags Keiko on the shoulder, unbeknownst to her. Camieko gets up and Keiko charges, flooring her with the running STO! Morgan storms into the ring and charges at Jade, blindsiding her and knocking her off the apron. Keiko covers Camieko, but the referee informs her that she is not the legal woman in the ring. As Keiko is confused, Morgan pulls Camieko away and slaps on the Sharpshooter! Camieko is already out from the STO, and the referee immediately calls for the bell!

Troy: Look at that! Keiko thought she had Camieko beat with the STO, but Morgan snuck in and stole the win with the Sharpshooter! Jade didn't even get in this damn match!

Ferrara: Look! Keiko is NOT happy!

Morgan's music plays ever so briefly before Keiko spins her around a heated staredown ensues in the middle of the ring. Walter Gindin enters the ring and tries to separate the two ladies, not wanting any part of this showdown right now. The staredown continues, with neither woman budging, until suddenly, Jade enters the ring and clubs Morgan in the back of the neck with a forearm, downing her! The fans boo this move slightly, and Jade begins stomping away on Morgan. Keiko opts not to get involved, using this opening to exit the ring at Gindin's urging. Jade is then restrained and escorted away by several officials as Morgan groggily tries to get up and we take another commercial break.

* WINNERS VIA SUBMISSION: KEIKO ISHIDA & MORGAN DAY *

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

The Tea Party’s “Walking Wounded” hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads “PWA Walking Wounded Report.” From there, the shot takes us to a backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O’Brien, who is standing in front of a backdrop featuring the Walking Wounded logo.

O’Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O’Brien and this is the Walking Wounded report. On Saturday night, September 17th, the PWA will return to pay-per-view with our September pay-per-view spectacular, Walking Wounded. The event will emanate from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, New York, and is sure to be a scorcher! With just eleven days to go until the broadcast, as of today, all eight matches for the show have been announced, and they are as follows:

In what should be an electric Elimination Chamber match, just the second in PWA history, the PWA Championship and the Progessive World Championship, formerly known as the ORA gold, will be merged into the undisputed PWA World Heavyweight Championship, as Greg Tantalus, Jackie Baccaro, Jaguar, Scythe, Romeo and Jason Calysto let it all hang out for the right to be the first undisputed PWA Champion in six months!

In what has been dubbed "Hollywood vs. Hollywood," Rudy Montenora will come out of retirement for one night only to take on Hollywood Mike Griffin!

In a steel cage showdown, Reaper goes one-on-one with former Lost Souls partner Speed Demon!

The PWA's two biggest monsters, Solomon and Briggs, will collide once and for all!

The finals of the International Championship Tournament will be held, with the winner of next week's contest between James Biamonte and The Miracle Mike Troha taking on the winner of next week's bout between Renegade and Paul Dawkins!

GI Jew goes head-to-head with Loki in a match where if Jew wins, he can earn a future match with the hated Bishop Cross!

Dexter P. Wellington gets his return match for the Progressive Championship against new champion Victor Simon!

And, in a rematch from Everlasting Epic, British sensations Paul Epton and John Wolfe defend the Tag Team Championship against Alpha Omega!

That’s all for this week, folks. For the Walking Wounded report, I’m Ron O’Brien, saying see you next week!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Ring announcer Lee Palmer gets into the ring to introduce the combatants for the main event as "Things Done Changed" by The Notorious B.I.G. plays to an immense amount of boos. Within moments, Morgan Day walks out, followed by Vulture, and then followed by Progressive World Champion Jackie Baccaro. All three are showered with a huge array of boos as the majestic gold pyro streams down from above.

Ferrara: This is the one we have been waiting for!

Troy: It was two weeks ago when Morgan Day aligned herself with Vulture and Baccaro by screwing Jaguar out of The Progressive World Championship. Last week, Kerry Cox appointed this title rematch right here in Jaguar's hometown, and speaking of the challenger, let's head backstage to Scott Cornelius, who is with Jaguar.

The shot cuts back to the interview area, where Cornelius is with Jacksonville's favorite son, who shows his hometown appreciation by sporting a black Matt Jones Jacksonville Jaguars jersey and a mean mug on his face.

Cornelius: Jag, the last time you were here, you beat Solomon to regain The PWA Championship at Revival. Now, you find yourself here as the challenger again trying to regain a title, The Progressive World Championship. Can you do it again?

Jaguar: Can I? Corny, tonight is the night man. Vulture, Baccaro and that British wench Morgan Day messed up real bad when they stole my belt from me, and now its time to make them pay. We're down south tonight Corny, we're in The 'Ville tonight! And in front of my hometown crowd, I'm going to do what I did on the first night of the year, kick a whole lotta ass and take my belt back!

With that said, Mannie Fresh's "Real Big" hits and the indoor crowd cheers wildly! The camera follows Jaguar through the backstage area before he ducks through a curtain. That goes into another shot that follows him up the steps to the ramp and then through the curtain to a roof-shaking ovation! Jaguar carries a look of stone on his face towards his opponents before stopping on the ramp and acknowledging the crowd by popping his jersey as his series of flaming fireballs erupt on the stage behind him.

Ferrara: I can't hear anything!

Troy: What an incredible ovation for Jaguar!

Baccaro beckons for him to enter the ring, and it doesn't take long for Jaguar to sprint down to the squared circle for a fight! With the music still playing, Baccaro begins to club and stomp on the back of the challenger, but Jaguar reaches his feet and bum rushes Baccaro back into a corner. Jaguar gets up and begins to stomp and kick Baccaro over and over and over and over and over, and the referee cannot stop him because no bell has sounded.

Troy: Jaguar is unleashing a beating on Baccaro here!

Tom Stevens grabs Jaguar by the waist and pulls him backwards as Vulture reaches under the ropes to pull Baccaro from the ring to safety. A fired up Jaguar then poses for the fans before pulling off the jersey and tossing it into the crowd as the bell sounds to start the match officially.

Ferrara: Well finally, the bell has rung.

Troy: Baccaro looks very rattled early. Now Jaguar isn't coming off of a Hell In A Cell match. If he's the champion he says he is, he'll get in there and beat the man.

Ferrara: Settle down Troy, Baccaro is still one of the hottest competitors in the game. He'll be alright, he's sitll the champ. Remember that.

* PROGRESSIVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: JACKIE BACCARO (C) VS. JAGUAR *

Referee: Tom Stevens

Baccaro calmly strolls up the ring steps and steps into the ring. Jaguar's look is still one of anger, and Baccaro's thoughts are drowned out by the deafening "Jag-uar" chants that fill the arena. Vulture calms him down and both men circle the ring to lock up in the middle. Baccaro clamps on a side headlock that he squeezes for all his might, but the crafty veteran Jaguar drops down and takes Baccaro into a pinning combination for 1---2 and a fast escape.

Baccaro reaches his feet and downs Jaguar with a shoulder block before running back to the ropes. He returns and Jaguar drops to the mat for Baccaro to jump over, but the challenger responds with a jumping side kick that sends Baccaro reeling through the ropes to the floor!

Jaguar exits the ring and clubs Baccaro in the back before lifting him up and dropping him chest-first across the security wall. Jaguar gives another hard shot to the back before rolling the champion back into the ring. Jaguar slides in after him and waits for Baccaro to rise before running towards him, but Morgan Day reaches under the bottom rope and trips him up! The crowd showers her with boos, but then erupts into cheers as Stevens tosses her out from ringside!

Troy: There ya go Tommy! Get her outta here!

Ferrara: How fair is that?!

Troy: Not fair at all, because Vulture is still out there!

Ferrara: Sure, pick on the guy with the managerial license.

Jaguar gets up irate, but waves goodbye to Day, who throws a hissy fit her entire way up the ramp. Jaguar turns back to Baccaro, but the champion is fully recovered and he connects with a running forearm smash that lays Jaguar down flat on his back!

Troy: What a tremendous impact that was!

Ferrara: He could have him here!

Baccaro makes a cover for one....two....and Jaguar kicks out! Jaguar shakes off the cobwebs, but now Baccaro turns up the heat by delivering rapid-fire punches and kicks before whipping him to the ropes and sending him flying with a belly-to-belly suplex! Baccaro covers again for a long two count, and the fans begin to worry a bit as Baccaro picks up steam.

Baccaro lifts Jag off the canvas and forces him back into a corner. He barrels into his gut with three shoulder thrusts before grabbing his arm and slinging him hard into the opposite corner. Jaguar stumbles out and Baccaro catches him with his signature bearhug slam! Baccaro covers and hooks a leg tightly for a count of one...two...and Jaguar gets a shoulder up!

Ferrara: What does he need to do to put him away?!

Troy: Jaguar won't go down, but Baccaro is getting frustrated. We might know what he wants to do next.

Baccaro waits for Jaguar to reach his feet before violently spinning him around and kicking him in the gut. He lifts him up for The Baccaro Bomb, but Jaguar escapes and lands behind him. Baccaro swings a clothesline, but Jaguar ducks under it and lifts him up before plastering him with Version 1.0 in the middle of the ring! Jaguar makes a cover for 1----2----and Baccaro kicks out!

Troy: Wow, I thought Jaguar had it there!

Ferrara: Very close, but Baccaro is rocked. Version 1.0 will jar a neck badly, you know what Jaguar is looking for the put him away.

Jaguar begins to stalk Baccaro for The Carrjack, prompting Vulture to hop up on the apron. Vulture yells at his former tag team partner and Jaguar reacts by taking a swipe at him. Vulture jumps down to avoid the blow, but Baccaro uses his second chance at a running forearm. Jaguar ducks under it and Baccaro tries again, Jaguar ducks under again and Baccaro's momentum carries him barreling into Stevens! Baccaro shows frustration as the ref goes down, but Jaguar has plenty of time to get what he was looking for as he lifts Baccaro up and folds him up with The Carrjack!

Troy: Carrjack in the middle of the ring! Baccaro is done!

Ferrara: He is, but the ref went down!

Jaguar thinks about a cover, but sees Stevens down. As he turns around to waive for another referee to come down, Vulture slides into the ring and nails him with his trademark running knee smash to the face! Without wasting any time, the 8-time Heavyweight Champion gets Jaguar off the canvas and hooks him into position for a reverse DDT. But for the first time in over a year, Vulture lifts Jaguar high and drives a man's head flush into the canvas with The Crimson Sunset! Acting quickly, Vulture drags a lifeless Baccaro on top of Jaguar and hops out of the ring to begin to revive the official!

Troy: What the hell is this?! Vulture just delivered The Crimson Sunset to Jaguar and now he's shaking the ref!

Ferrara: But did you see that Sunset?! He's been hurt for so long, that was from a retired man, and he has laid Jaguar completely out!

Troy: Baccaro can't win it like this; somebody get out here!

Stevens shakes the webs out and slowly crawls over to the two competitors. He slaps the mat once, then twice and neither Jaguar nor Baccaro move a muscle before his hand hits the mat for the third time. As "Things Done Changed" hits again, Stevens calls for the bell.

Ferrara: Baccaro retains!

Troy: This is absolutely ridiculous! Jaguar had Baccaro beaten in the middle of the ring and he has been screwed out of the title once again, this time in his freakin' hometown!

Vulture revives Baccaro and gets him out of the ring as Morgan Day returns to celebrate with them on the ramp. Jaguar is still down in the ring, clutching his head and neck area. The crowd's boos are louder than ever and they even go so far as to batter the trio with garbage as they head for the exits in angry disgust.

* WINNER VIA PINFALL AND STILL PROGRESSIVE WORLD CHAMPION: JACKIE BACCARO *
