The FBI warning flashes onto the screen, before fading into a video
that highlights the Elimination Chamber match between Greg Tantalus, Romeo,
Scythe, Jackie Baccaro, Jason Calysto and Jaguar to take place tonight, where a
new undisputed PWA World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned as the PWA and
Progressive World Championships will be unified. As the video concludes, “Walking Wounded” by
the Tea Party hits and we are taken inside the Nassau Coliseum in
Ferrara: That’s right,
Ferrara: Neither can I,
The crowd waits impatiently for the opening match, but Mozart's "Marriage
of Figaro" does little to put them at ease. They begin to flood Nassau
Coliseum with jeers as the arrogant Dexter P. Wellington arrives with Winston
in tow. A cocky grin sits on the former Progressive Champion's face.
Troy: The fans absolutely love this guy, Paul.

Matt Hansen
Simon relinquishes the belt to Hansen,
who signals for the bell to sound. It rings, and the two begin to circle the
ring. Simon rushes in for a lock up, but
Troy: You don't use it, so how would you know?!
Simon gets
Ferrara: Oh please, he's just that strong!

Cox: Hold it! Cut the music! Hansen needs to see this footage! Play it back!
The Jumbotron lights up, showing the last few minutes of the match where
Palmer: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has reversed his decision, and as a
result of a disqualification, the winner of the match and still Progressive
Champion... Victooooor Siiiimooooon!
Hansen and Cox help Simon back up to his feet, who is barely aware that he has
retained the title.
* WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION AND STILL PROGRESSIVE
CHAMPION: VICTOR SIMON *
The camera heads backstage,
where Traci Reed is standing with Romeo at the interview area.
Reed: Romeo, tonight you have come to The
Romeo: Last month, I slipped up and lost my title to Jaguar at
Everlasting Epic. If it was just me and Tantalus fighting it out here tonight
for all the gold, we would know the result already. But now that we're inside
The Chamber, the result will be no different. Bottom line is that I’m the
baddest dude in The PWA. We all know it. Its just that now I have to get past
five chumps instead of one. I've been the champ before, holding both of the
belts. Tonight, I'm walking out of here with the belt again, and there's
nothing that any of them can do to stop me!
"We Who Are Not as Others" by Sepultura is the first to play, and the
response is an arena full of jeers. Loki and Bishop Cross appear at the top of
the ramp and make their slow descent. They pay no mind to the crowd as they
approach the ring. Both men step inside, sneering at the crowd.
"Opium of The People"
by Slipknot takes over, and the stands come alive with cheers for the first
Grand Slam winner! GI Jew roars down the ramp with his motorcycle, and he
circles around the ring, all the while staring up at Cross and Loki, who
beckons him to enter. Jew parks the bike at the base of the ramp and wastes no
time entering. Cross exits the ring on the opposite side, leaving just Loki and
Jew in the ring.
* GI JEW VS. LOKI *
Referee:
Tom Stevens
The bell sounds, and the two
immediately lock up. GI Jew prevails on the offensive and blasts away at Loki's
face with several rights. After a knee to the stomach, Loki doubles over and
Jew hammers at his back double axe handle. Loki crumbles to the mat, and Jew
stomps away at him. As Loki writhes about, Jew points at Bishop Cross, who
shakes his head with a sneer.
Before Jew can turn back to Loki, the Army of the Damned member tackles the
back of Jew's leg, sending him flat on his face. Jew quickly gets back up, but
Loki remains behind and lifts him up, sending a shot of pain through his body
with a spine buster. Jew clutches his back on the mat, but Loki peels him off
the canvas shortly after and delivers a suplex. Loki goes for the pin cover,
but a two count is barely registered. Undaunted, Loki goes back on the attack.
Loki wrenches Jew off the mat once again for another suplex, but Jew lands on
his feet and plasters Loki into the canvas with a neckbreaker! The crowd roars
with cheers as Jew pounds away at Loki's exposed face. The referee forces Jew
off, who begrudgingly obliges. He whips Loki into the ropes instead and bounces
off the opposite side, but Cross is there to trip him up! The referee
admonishes him, although Jew takes a more verbally abusive approach. With Jew
distracted though, Loki sneaks up and attempts to roll him up, but Jew kicks
out after the count of two. Loki tries to attack again, but Jew plants a boot
into his stomach and drives him into the mat with a DDT! GI Jew covers...
One... Two... and Cross drags him off from the bottom rope.
Ferrara: And if GI Jew wins, then Cross will have to face him. I think it was a
smart move.
Cross backs away from the ring, and GI Jew is fairly frustrated. He slides out
of the ring, and Cross plays keep away. As they run around the ring, Loki slips
out and intercepts Jew with the Atheist Superkick! Jew seems to be down and
out, but Loki plucks him off the mat and rolls him back into the ring. Loki
slides in as well to immediately cover... One... Two... Thr- No! Jew gets the
shoulder up!
Loki wrenches GI Jew off the mat, but the resilient Grand Slam winner finds the
strength to break free. They begin to trade punches until Loki swings a hard
right that Jew blocks and responds to with a kick to the stomach, followed by a
suplex that the crowd cheers for! He covers, but Cross only takes a moment to
get himself on the apron. As he gains the referee's attention, Jew gets up off
the cover and bolts over, kicking Cross off and sends him spilling to the
outside! Loki has managed to get himself up with the ropes, but as soon as he
turns around, Jew stampedes forward and annihilates him with the Gore!
GI Jew drags Loki to the center of the ring and covers him! One! Two! Yes,
three! "Opium of The People" plays for Nassau Coliseum once more!
An infuriated Bishop Cross grabs a chair from ringside as Jew stands over Loki.
Cross slides into the ring with the chair and shove the referee aside. Jew
turns around, but he walks right into a vile chair shot. Jew crumbles to the
mat, but Cross is not through with him. He lifts up the native New Yorker and
decimates him with the Crossfire, much to the chagrin of the audience. After
assisting Loki, Cross retreats from the ring, back pedaling all the way to
watch the motionless GI Jew.
"We Who Are Not as Others" starts up in the background as Cross and
Loki leave the arena and the fallen GI Jew, saving the battle for another day.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL:
GI JEW *
The camera
now takes us to Scythe's dressing room, where Nick Cade is standing by as the
former PWA Champion is deep in thought.
Cade: Scythe, tonight you will enter The Elimination Chamber for
the first time to continue your quest to regain The PWA Championship. Where is
your head at right now?
Scythe: I didn't really process it before tonight Nick, but
this is the most dangerous match I will have ever been in, and I love that
thought. We are talking over two miles of chain, thirty-six feet in diameter,
ten tons of steel. And all of that will house six men who will compete for one
championship. But the difference that separates me from the other five is sheer
hunger Nick. I am the hungriest man in this match and I want that title back. It’s
been eleven long months since I lost the PWA Title right here in this city, but
I can regain it tonight after I do what I do best: outlast my competition and
win. Tonight, I will be the last man left in The Elimination Chamber and I will
leave
Earshot's
"Control" begins to play, and the crowd boos as if it were a reflex.
Alpha Omega arrives to a horribly negative welcome, and they are accompanied by
Justin Schenck. The tag team of the Legacy appears focused, while their manager
confident, as always. Alpha Omega steps into the ring while Schenck remains on
the outside. Suddenly "Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse overrides,
bringing forth the cheers of the audience for the Tag Team Champions, Paul
Epton and John Wolfe. They play it up for the crowd while heading towards the
ring. Alpha Omega briefly leaves the ring while the Champions step inside of
it. They pose on each of the turn buckles while showing off their belts. As
they hand them over to the referee, Alpha Omega returns to the ring. Beovich
remains on the apron, while Epton does the same. Wolfe and Price stare each
other down from across the ring as the bell sounds.
Troy: This is a rematch from Everlasting Epic 4, when Paul Epton
and John Wolfe took home the Tag Team Championship belts. Alpha Omega is
looking to get them back tonight.

Referee:
Dan Martin
Epton and Price waste no time in
getting right to it, and they lock up in the center of the ring. Price manages
to grab Epton in a head lock, but the Tag Team Champion shoves him into the
ropes. Price helplessly returns, right into an arm drag from Epton. Price
quickly gets back up, but he walks right into a drop kick! Price falls into a
corner, halting the action for a moment to catch a breather.
Price and Epton circle the ring once
again, locking up in the center. They offer a dazzling technical exchange that
concludes when Epton surprises Price by rolling him up! One! Two! No, Price
furiously kicks out. They both get up, but Price quickly scrambles to his
corner and tags in Beovich.
Beovich steps into the ring and goes
right after Epton, locking up in the middle and Schenck shouts out orders.
Beovich holds his ground and manages to get a kick to Epton's stomach,
following it up with a suplex for heavy impact. Boos begin to pour down as
Beovich waits for Epton to rise. As soon as he does, Beovich pummels him with
rights and lefts before grabbing him by the head and throwing him to the
ground. Beovich goes for a pin, one, two, and Epton gets his foot on the bottom
rope!
Beovich gets back up to his feet and
closes in, but Epton explodes off the mat and clobbers the Omega with a
clothesline! He quickly goes over to make a tag to Wolfe, as Beovich tags in
Price! Wolfe and Price charge at each other, but Wolfe turns Price inside out
with a clothesline! Beovich also tries to sneak in an attack, but Wolfe answers
with another clothesline! Wolfe turns around and clubs Price in the back as
he's rising. Beovich gets back to his feet, but with sends him toppling out of
the ring with a forearm! The crowd is loving it!
Wolfe turns back around, but Price is
there to begin his offensive. He batters Wolfe's body punches, but the Tag Team
Champion stands his ground and blocks an arm. Wolfe counter attacks with a
punch of his own, and Price stumbles back before trying to attack again. Wolfe
blocks once more and destroys his with a clothesline. The fans are cheering,
and Wolfe tosses Price into a corner. After setting him up, Wolfe sends Price
like a wrecking ball into the mat with a suplex off the top rope! Schenck slaps
the apron madly on the outside as the fans cheer wildly!
Troy: Oh man, Price is not getting up from that!
Schenck immediately climbs onto the
apron, and the referee argues with the Legacy manager. Wolfe knows that this
spells trouble, so he begins to approach Schenck as well. However, before he
can make it, Jonathan Brett charges down from the back and slides into the
ring, holding him off with a flurry of fists. Before long, another person
emerges from the crowd.
The Miracle gets himself into the ring
and violently tackles Brett to the ground, eventually spilling outside! Beovich
also tries to get himself involved, but Epton climbs the turnbuckle and leaps
off of it, flattening the Omega on the outside! Wolfe regains his composure and
tosses Schenck off the apron!
Wolfe turns around to find a slowly
rising Price. The Tag Team Champion signals to the crowd, and Price turns to
gain a hand wrapped around his neck. Rabid cheering overtakes the arena as
Wolfe lifts Price high, and brings him back down in one fell swoop for a vile
Chokeslam! Wolfe hooks the leg! One! Two! Three!
"Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse
plays again, and the Champs are given back their belts, standing tall with
Troha. They hold them high as the Legacy members look on in defeat. Schenck,
however, has a look of scorn.

The camera cuts backstage, where Rick Madsen is standing by with Progressive
World Champion Jackie Baccaro and his manager Vulture.
Madsen: Gentlemen,
the time is quickly drawing near. Later
tonight, Jackie Baccaro, you will head inside the Elimination Chamber, and you
will not exit it with the belt you have over your shoulder. Kerry Cox has a brand-new undisputed PWA
World Heavyweight Championship belt that will debut tonight, and will be
presented to the winner of this match.
Your reign as Progressive World Champion ends tonight, but it could be
the dawning of your reign as PWA World Champion. What are your comments?
Baccaro: Well Rick, you said it. It is the dawning of a new era, the Jackie
Baccaro era. Tonight, I become the
undisputed PWA World Heavyweight Champion and officially jumpstart my legacy
around here. I made big waves three
nights after Everlasting Epic when I beat Jaguar to win this title, but it was
just a stepping-stone. I did exactly
what I needed to do to get myself into this match. And now I’m here. But I’m confident, Rick. I’m confident because of this man in my
corner, the one and only Vulture, the only man in PWA history to win an
Elimination Chamber. Don’t you think
that gives me an advantage, Rick?
Madsen: I’d say it’s certainly a good
thing to have.
Baccaro: You’re damn right.
Vulture: I know all about winning the
Elimination Chamber, and you’d better believe I’ve passed that knowledge onto
Jackie Baccaro. Tonight, the landscape
of the PWA changes, and Jackie Baccaro becomes the new undisputed PWA World
Heavyweight Champion.
With that, the
two exit and we return to ringside.
"Piggy Bank" by 50 Cent begins to play, and the crowd instantly
begins to cheer as Lee Palmer speaks.
Palmer: The following contest is
scheduled for one fall and it is the final match in the tournament for the PWA
International Championship! Introducing first, from
Renegade arrives to a big welcome from the crowd, and the former
Progressive Champion looks ready for action as he steps into the ring and poses
on the turnbuckles. After he climbs down, "Still Ballin" by 2Pac and
Trick Daddy begins for Palmer's second introduction.
Palmer: And his opponent, from Tampa,
Florida, weighing 221 pounds, James Biamonte!
Biamonte arrives to another strong
ovation and also looks ready to roll as he enters the ring and bounces off the
ropes.
Troy: Both of these men have held the
Progressive Titles in their careers, but once this match is over, one will be
crowned the International Champion for the first time. Who do you like Paul?
Ferrara: Renegade has advantages in
youth, size and maybe a little power, but you cannot underestimate the
experience factor from James Biamonte. He's a wily veteran and he'll pull out
the stops needed in order to get the title tonight.
* PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
TOURNAMENT – FINALS: RENEGADE VS. JAMES BIAMONTE *
Referee:
Jason Church
Jason Church calls for the bell and it sounds, and the crowd cheers as
both men lock up in the center of the ring. Renegade muscles Biamonte back into
a corner and Church calls for a clean break. Renegade gives it and backs off
before they lock up once more. This time, Biamonte outwrestles Renegade with a
go-behind before clamping on a side headlock that he turns into a takedown.
Renegade tries a leg scissors that breaks the hold, but Biamonte turns
it into a pinning combination for a fast two count. Both men get up quickly,
but it is Renegade who strikes first with a hard clothesline. Renegade lifts
Biamonte up off the mat and then puts him down with a vertical suplex before
leaving the ring and heading to the top rope.
Ferrara: Its his crack at the
International Title Troy, you do what you've gotta do.
Renegade flies off with a double axe handle, but Biamonte scouts him
early and connects with a shot to the midsection. Not wasting a moment,
Biamonte grabs an arm and pulls it across Renegade's chest before driving him
to the canvas with The JB Cutter!
Biamonte makes a cover and gets 1----2----and Renegade kicks out!
Biamonte looks on in disbelief, but moves on to prepare to deliver The
Buzzkill. He gets Renegade into position for the move and gets set to deliver
the violent twisting slam, but Renegade spins out of it and gets Biamonte onto
his shoulders to blast him with The F-U! The arena goes crazy as Renegade gets
on top and hooks the inside leg for Church to make a count, but he stops as he
sees Biamonte's leg on the bottom rope!
The stunned Renegade gets Biamonte off the mat and looks to nail a
second F-U, but Biamonte grabs a hold of the top rope. Renegade tries to pull
him out for the slam, but Biamonte manages to push himself off the top
turnbuckle and drag Renegade down into another pinning combination, but
Renegade uses the momentum to reverse it and pin Biamonte's shoulders down for
one....two....three!
"Piggy Bank" hits again, and an elated Renegade is awarded
The International Championship as a dejected Biamonte sits on the mat in shock.
Renegade takes the belt and gets up on the middle turnbuckle to hold the
belt high in celebration. A defeated Biamonte stands up with his hands on his
hips and a cold look in his eyes as Renegade climbs down. The new champ looks
at him and the music stops during the tense moment.
Nobody says a word in the building until the defeated Biamonte extends
his hand to a slew of cheers. Renegade accepts it and they shakes hands to a
huge ovation. Biamonte graciously raises Renegade's arm in the air - before
violently tugging it down and leveling him with another JB Cutter!
Biamonte quickly unleashes a series of kicks and stomps to Renegade
before exiting the ring and grabbing a steel chair from ringside. Renegade
struggles to his feet, but by the time he does, Biamonte absolutely crushes him
with a devastating chair shot to the skull!
Renegade crumbles to the mat like a house of cards, and Biamonte knocks
out the referee before cracking Renegade with another shot to the back. A huge
cut opens on Renegade's head, and Biamonte ruthlessly chokes him with the leg
of the chair until a squadron of officials rush out to get him off. Biamonte
stares coldly at the bloodied and beaten Renegade before holding the chair high
and making his exit to a tremendous smattering of boos.

The shot cuts backstage to the interview area, where Rick Madsen is with Jason
Calysto.
Madsen: Jay, we just saw The
International Title decided in a great match and an ugly scene, but tonight we
will also see the Undisputed PWA title decided in what will surely be an even
uglier scene as you enter The Elimination Chamber. What's on your mind?
Calysto: You're exactly right Rick. It
was an ugly scene out there and things are about to get uglier tonight. I have
wrestled in this building over a hundred times over my many years of doing
this, and never before have the stakes been higher. Tonight, I'm wrestling five
of the top hands in the business, but when it comes down to it, Elimination
Chamber or not, nobody does it better than The Iceman. Its time to shut up and
wrestle Nick, and when it’s all said and done, I will once again be on top as
The World Heavyweight Champion.
Madsen: Okay thanks Jay, good luck to you.
Back at ringside, “Hear Me” by Darkseed blares over the speakers and
the fans begin booing as Solomon makes his way to the ring, alongside manager
Walter Gindin. Gindin takes his place on
the outside as Solomon steps inside, preparing for battle. As Solomon stands in the ring, waiting, “Trust”
by Sevendust explodes throughout the Coliseum and Briggs makes his arrival to a
large ovation from the capacity crowd.
Briggs stands face-to-face with Solomon in the ring as the bell sounds
and this match gets underway.
Troy: Alright, here
we go! These two monsters have had an
issue with each other for quite some time, and tonight, they try to settle
it. Solomon defeated Briggs at
Everlasting Epic, but Briggs requested this rematch, feeling that he could
defeat Solomon given a second opportunity.
Ferrara: This really is put up or shut
up time for Briggs,
* SOLOMON VS.
BRIGGS *
Referee: Billy Vargas
The two behemoths lock up in the center of the ring, each man trying to
immediately prove to the other that they are stronger. Solomon is successful initially, and shoves
Briggs to the mat hard. Briggs gets back
up and immediately shoves Solomon down, angering the former world
champion. He gets up and stands in the center
of the ring with Briggs, where they lock up.
This time, Solomon is able to get the upper hand and shove Briggs into
the corner, charging in and nailing a big clothesline. Briggs staggers forward, and Solomon is there
to pick him up and slam him to the mat.
Solomon then bounces off the ropes and nails a big elbow drop on Briggs,
before going for a quick cover, which he is quickly launched off of.
Ferrara: Hey, you can’t blame Solomon
for trying.
Briggs gets up
and charges right at Solomon, nailing him with a hard clothesline that sends
him down to the mat. Briggs then gets a
chance to show off his own skills, hitting the ropes and nailing an elbow
drop. Solomon gets up and Briggs whips
him against the ropes, nailing him with a sidewalk slam as he returns. Briggs covers… one, two, and Solomon escapes
with plenty of time. Briggs keeps the
pressure mounted, nailing Solomon with repeated stomps to the midsection,
pounding away. Solomon fights his way
back to a vertical base, and when he does, Briggs whips him against the ropes
and downs him with a huge boot to the face as he bounces back. Briggs lifts Solomon up and gives him snake
eyes on the top turnbuckle, staggering the Alaskan Monster. However, as Briggs charges in, Solomon throws
up a big boot, which Briggs runs right into.
Briggs staggers away, and Solomon runs at him, downing him with a big
bulldog! Solomon lifts Briggs off the
mat and tries to lift him up with a gorilla press slam, but Briggs slips out,
boots him in the stomach and sets him up for the sit-out powerbomb! Briggs lifts Solomon for the move, but Solomon
slips out, kicks Briggs in the gut, and destroys him with the Deep Freeze! Solomon covers… one, two, three!
The fans boo
as “Hear Me” replays and Gindin enters the ring, celebrating with his
client. After a while, Briggs gets to
his feet and, while on the apron, begins yelling something inaudible at
Solomon. Solomon hears this and shoves
Briggs off the apron, continuing to celebrate.
However, Briggs screams in pain as he hits the ground, having landed on
his leg, which has seemed to buckle.
Solomon continues celebrating as the camera cuts away.

PINFALL: SOLOMON *
