TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 * MCI CENTER * WASHINGTON, D.C.

Back from the commercial break, we are taken backstage to the interview area where Scott Cornelius is with James Biamonte and a sweaty Renegade.

Cornelius: JB, Renegade, one of you two men will win your first International Title this Saturday at Walking Wounded. What are your takes on the opportunity?

Biamonte: I'm definitely ready for it Scott. It’s been quite some time since I've had a title belt around my waist and I think my time has come. Renegade, I respect you, but this weekend, you will see your hot streak come to an end when I Buzzkill my way to the belt.

Cornelius: Renegade?

Renegade: That's all fine and good, but I've been beating guys left and right since losing the Progressive Title and I think my time to step up to the plate is now as well. James, you're a good athlete and have a lot more experience than I do, but none of that will matter at Walking Wounded. After our match in Long Island, you'll be looking up at the lights and realize that I just became your personal F-U.

Both men stare the other down intensely as the shot cuts to a break.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from break, “Hear Me” by Darkseed hits and the fans begin booing as Solomon makes his way to the ring alongside Walter Gindin. Solomon grabs a microphone and steps into the ring as the fans continue to boo.

Solomon: So, Briggs didn’t get enough of me at Everlasting Epic and wants to come back for more Saturday at Walking Wounded. You know what, that’s fine. I have no problem handing down another beating. In fact, I’m getting used to the idea. I took you out at Everlasting Epic and Briggs, if you want to come back for more at Walking Wounded, I’ll take you out for good. But why wait? I’m here, and I know you’re in the back. Why don’t you come out here right now so we can finish this!

Troy: Are we really gonna see this now?!

With that, “Trust” by Sevendust hits and the fans begin cheering as Briggs stalks his way out. Briggs slides into the ring and Solomon goes right after him. The two begin slugging it out until Briggs gets the advantage and clotheslines him out of the ring! “Trust” replays and Solomon and Gindin backpedal away as Briggs beckons them back to the ring and we take another break.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

"Marriage of Figaro" by the legendary Mozart begins to play and the boos begin to sound as Winston and Dexter P. Wellington begin to make their way to the ring. The former Progressive Champion holds his head high as he enters the ring, but he carries a look of disdain as he does so.

Troy: After last week's showing against Greg Tantalus, Dexter shouldn't look so cocky out here tonight.

Ferrara: That was Victor Simon's fault! He came out here unannounced to sit with us and he cost Dex a chance to beat Tantalus for the title here tonight. I talked to Dex earlier and he can't wait to get his hands on that punk tonight.

As Wellington prepares in the ring, "Edge of The Earth” by 30 Seconds to Mars hits and the boos continue as Loki also marches out to the ring, almost surprisingly without his Army of the Damned cohorts. Loki climbs inside and White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" takes over for the arrival of Alpha Omega. Greg Price and Steve Beovich arrive with Justin Schenck, and also look ready for action as Drain STh's "Simon Says" brings out Victor Simon. The Progressive Champion gets a favorable ovation from the crowd, but he knows to wait in the middle of the ramp for some help before going towards the ring.

"Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse plays next, and another nice ovation greets John Wolfe and Paul Epton as the Tag Team Champions begin their walk to the ring. The trio waits at the bottom of the ramp as Slipknot's "Opium of The People" blares and the crowd goes wild for GI Jew. The motorcycle doesn't rev up this time as the PWA's first Grand Slam winner runs out from the back and sprints down to the ring! His partners join him and the war is quickly underway!

Ferrara: It’s an all-out fight already!

Troy: Tom Stevens is gonna have some problems getting this one broken up!

* GI JEW, PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPION VICTOR SIMON AND PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS PAUL EPTON & JOHN WOLFE VS. LOKI, DEXTER P. WELLINGTON AND ALPHA OMEGA *

Referee: Tom Stevens

All eight men tear into one another, with Alpha Omega taking it to the tag champs, Simon trading fists with Wellington, and GI Jew pounding away on Loki. Justin Schenck gets involved by grabbing the legs of Epton and pulling him from the ring to allow Alpha Omega to double team Wolfe momentarily.

They toss Wolfe out of the ring and begin a three-on-two beating as the crowd boos their actions. Back in the ring, Simon ducks under a Wellington clothesline before connecting with one of his own that sends the former champ over the top to the arena floor! Wellington gets up and Simon dives over the top with a plancha that flattens both men on the floor!

Ferrara: What is Stevens doing in there?!

The senior official wants to ring the bell as GI Jew and Loki are left in the ring battling, but the moment GI Jew sets up for an early Gore, he is jumped from behind by Bishop Cross and Reaper!

Troy: Dammit! The Army of The Damned is out here now! This has turned into a mugging!

As Alpha Omega, Wellington, Simon, Epton and Wolfe continue their battles outside the ring, The Army tries to dissect GI Jew with rapid punches and kicks and stomps everywhere thoughout his body. Cross calls off his partners to deliver The Crossfire, but before he can, the lights go out! They come back up, and Speed Demon is in the ring going ballistic on The Army!

Troy: It’s Speed Demon!

Ferrara: Where does he keep coming from?!?!

Speed Demon clotheslines Loki to the mat and GI Jew turns the tides with some gloved right hands to Reaper. Cross exits and heads for higher ground as Jew clotheslines Reaper out and a Demon dropkick sends Loki out to the arena floor. Mudvayne's "Determined" hits, and both Speed Demon and GI Jew are staring coldly at Bishop Cross on the ramp as we head to a commercial break.

* WINNERS: NO CONTEST *

-- 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 four days to go until the broadcast, 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, as James Biamonte and Renegade battle it out for the vacant title!

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 on Long Island!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Rabid cheers come from the crowd as the opening beats of "Real Big" by Mannie Fresh boom through the Phone Booth for the arrival of Jaguar. The four-time PWA Champion and one-time Progressive World Champion poses in front of his flaming fireballs and climbs into the ring to pose for the crowd as Linkin Park's "With You" takes over. The smoke floods the entrance for the arrival of Scythe, who enters to another strong pop and greets Jaguar with a handshake after entering the ring. Oasis' "F*ckin In The Bushes" hits next and another deafening ovation comes for The Iceman Jason Calysto, who looks more than ready to wrestle as he power walks to the ring. Calysto climbs in and greets his partners as the house lights go down and "Hey You" by Simon Says hits to an immense pop! Within moments, Greg Tantalus storms out, with the PWA Championship belt wrapped around his waist as he climbs into the ring and joins his partners.

Troy: Look at this quartet Paul, they're gonna be hard to beat.

Ferrara: Maybe not, but their opponents are no slouches either.

Three D-Bombs whistle down and explode upon impact with the ramp as B.G.'s "I Want It" hits the speakers and Romeo walks out to a chorus of boos. The Co-Wrestler of The Year shows no fear to his opponents, but doesn't climb in the ring as Tool's "Parabola" hits and The Legacy's tandem of Hollywood Mike Griffin and Jonathan Brett make their way out onto the stage, along with Justin Schenck. All three stop on the stage and pose in front of Griffin's majestic fireworks on the stage before joining Romeo inside the squared circle. All eyes turn back to the entrance as "Things Done Changed" by The Notorious B.I.G. plays and Vulture leads Jackie Baccaro out thru the curtain. The Progressive World Heavyweight Champion poses in front of his streaming gold fireworks before unhooking his belt, handing it to his manager, and sliding into the ring.

Troy: Good to see these guys aren't going all-out like the match earlier tonight.

Ferrara: This close to Walking Wounded and The Elimination Chamber, nobody wants to make a mistake. Nobody wants to get in something out of hand and suffer an injury knowing they must step into The Chamber, and Griffin especially doesn't wanna make a mistake and be shown up by Rudy Montenora either.

* PROGRESSIVE WORLD CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO, ROMEO, HOLLYWOOD MIKE GRIFFIN & JONATHAN BRETT VS. PWA WORLD CHAMPION GREG TANTALUS, JAGUAR, THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO & SCYTHE *

Referee: Matt Hansen

The bell sounds, and leaves Scythe inside the ring against Romeo. Both men lock up and Romeo shoves Scythe back off into a neutral corner. Scythe beckons him in and Romeo charges, but Scythe steps forward and takes him down with a deep arm drag. Scythe turns it into an armbar and makes a tag to Jaguar.

Jaguar steps inside and looks more than happy to deliver a stiff kick to the outstretched arm of his former partner before turning it back into a wrenched armbar. Romeo delivers a cheap forearm shot to the nose to break the hold before tagging out to Griffin. Hollywood rushes into the ring and grabs Jaguar around the waist to complete a major release German Suplex before covering quickly for a two count.

Jaguar holds the back of his head as Griffin gets him up and shoots him to the ropes. Griffin leapfrogs over him once and tries it again, but Jaguar stops short and catches him with an inverted atomic drop before a tag to Tantalus results in Griffin being mowed down to the mat!

Troy: Good continuity between Jaguar and Tantalus there.

Ferrara: Let's see how well they get along this weekend.

Tantalus makes a cover and it’s broken up with a stomp to the back, courtesy of Brett. Tantalus gets up to jaw at him, but turns around to be leveled with a return clothesline from Griffin! Baccaro asks for a tag and Griffin gives him one, leaving both World Champions inside the ring in a match for the first televised time.

Baccaro violently stomps away on Tantalus before lifting him up and shooting him to the ropes. Tantalus returns and Baccaro hoists him up in an impressive gorilla press. Baccaro grins as he presses Tantalus above his head, but the crowd cheers as Tantalus frees himself by raking him across the eyes and then clotheslining him down!

Ferrara: Now what was that?!

Troy: He might be a fan favorite, but Greg Tantalus isn't above breaking a rule or two!

Tantalus tags Scythe in and Baccaro delivers one to Brett. Both men enter and begin to trade punches in the middle of the ring. Scythe manages to sidestep a big blow and use Brett's momentum to score with an atomic drop, but Brett barrels into referee Matt Hansen, and his 270-plus pound frame sends Hansen reeling through the ropes to the floor! This brings in all other six men, and a familiar scene ensues as all of them begin to rumble! Before long, the crowd explodes into cheers as Rudy Montenora runs out from the back!

Troy: It’s Rudy!

Ferrara: Montenora isn't in this match!

Troy: He is now!

Ferrara: What the hell is he even doing in the building?!

Through all the commotion, Montenora finds a way to pull Griffin from his battle against Calysto and rids him from the ring before turning Brett around and planting a Superkick on his jaw. Brett is spun around by the blow and walks right into a Flying Dragon from Scythe! Scythe holds the move into a pin as Billy Vargas rushes down from the back and counts 1---2----3!

Troy: Yes!

Ferrara: Oh come on!

"With You" replays as Lee Palmer announces the winners, and Griffin teams with Schenck to pull Brett out of the ring as Montenora shouts at them from the ring. With Montenora in the middle, the victors raise their arms in celebration as their opponents backpedal in defeat.

Ferrara: That was ridiculous!

Troy: Whatever Paul. Rudy Montenora looks ready to go, and it’s gonna be an explosive contest during his return to the ring! Not to mention The Elimination Chamber! It’s gonna be nuts! We'll see you all at Walking Wounded, goodnight everybody!

* WINNERS VIA PINFALL: GREG TANTALUS, JAGUAR, JASON CALYSTO & SCYTHE *
