SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
The FBI warning flashes onto the screen, before fading into a video
that highlights the PWA Championship confrontation between Scythe and Jaguar
tonight, along with a detailed and extensive look at the brutal match known
simply as “Hell-in-a-Cell,” a match that will house Solomon and GI Jew here on
pay-per-view. As the video concludes,
“Walking Wounded” by the Tea Party hits and we are taken inside the San Diego
Sports Arena in
Ferrara: That’s right,
Troy: And of course, Hell in a
Cell! GI Jew and Solomon will go at it
tonight in what is arguably the most brutal match in the history of
wrestling. I don’t know how either man
will be able to live to fight another day once tonight has come to a close.
Troy: Also tonight, Jason Calysto faces
Tony Annetta, TFU challenges Paul Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro for the Tag Team
Championship, Jon Dulberg and The Omega Steve Beovich collide, and much more! All that to come later, but folks, let’s get
right to the ring for our opening contest!
It’s Walking Wounded!
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1:
PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP:
DYNAMITE DEAN NASH © VS. SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
The buzzing of the crowd comes to a
halt when Saliva's "Superstar II" plays for the San Diego Sports
Arena, and the Superstar himself steps out to a chorus of jeers. With him comes
the arrival of Justin Schenck, who wears a broad smile to fit his confidence.
Scott Hosemann rolls into the ring and raises his arms high, but the crowd refuses
to do anything but heckle the Superstar. As Schenck waits on the outside,
"Spitfire" by The Prodigy overtakes Hosemann's theme, and the crowd
welcomes the Progressive Champion. Dynamite Dean Nash acknowledges the crowd
and slaps the outstretched hands of fans on his way down to the ring. Hosemann
beckons him to enter the ring, and Nash obliges by charging the ring. Hosemann
stomps on the Progressive Champion as the bell sounds to start this match.
Schenck claps proudly for his
client as Hosemann raises his arms high to the chagrin of the crowd. Nash
slowly rises to his feet and leaves the belt on the mat for the ref to pick up.
Hosemann charges towards Nash, but Dynamite throws a punch that Hosemann ducks.
He slips behind Nash and lifts him up over his shoulder, landing him on the
mat, back first. Nash clutches his back momentarily, but Hosemann picks up Nash
by the head. He tosses the Progressive Champion into the ropes and plasters him
into the mat on his return with an arm drag. The crowd is not happy.
Hosemann lifts up Nash from the
mat, but Nash is quick to break free of Hosemann's grasp with several punches
that stun the Superstar. He backs himself into the ropes, but Schenck reaches
in and grabs his foot. Nash regains his balance and attempts to reach for
Schenck, but Hosemann comes over and rolls up Nash with a schoolboy. One...
Two... and Nash kicks out to the relief of the crowd. As Hosemann and Nash get
to a vertical base, Darrin Giles quietly strolls down to ringside, but Nash
catches wind of this and the crowd boos even louder. In his distraction,
Hosemann kicks Nash in the gut and throws a punch, but the Progressive Champion
blocks it and throws one of his own! It quickly turns into a brawl that
Hosemann gets the better of, while the ref is shouting at Schenck and Giles to
keep their distance. Hosemann grabs Nash by the head and tosses him across the
ring, accidentally sending him flying into the ref! The referee falls to the
outside and Hosemann looks mortified, but it quickly changes to a wry smile
that appears when The Naturals race down the ramp and into the ring. Giles also
enters the ring, and a four on one assault commences on the prone Nash. Schenck
signals that the ref is coming to and Giles and The Naturals quickly clear out
of the ring. The crowd groans and shouts profanity as the ref wobbles into the
ring and Hosemann covers Nash. One... Two... Three. The bell rings.
"Superstar II" is
playing loud as Hosemann is awarded the belt. He poses on the turnbuckles, but
the crowd is not pleased. They suddenly cheer however, when Commissioner Kerry
Cox rushes out to the ring with a mic and confronts the referee. Hosemann
believes the cheers are for him until Cox begins to speak. He quickly turns
around with a frightened expression.
Cox: Referee Tom Stevens, some things happened while you were out of the match
for those few minutes. I'd like you to take a look at this footage.
The Jumbotron lights up, showing the events that occurred, specifically the
massacre that consumed Dean Nash. Stevens looks over at Hosemann, and then
walks out to ringside to speak to Lee Palmer. The ring announcer grabs a
microphone of his own as Stevens reenters the ring, standing in front of
Hosemann.
Palmer: Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a disqualification, Tom Stevens as
reversed his decision. The winner of the match via disqualification... and
STILL the Progressive Champion... Dynamite Dean Nash!
Stevens strips the belt away from Hosemann, whose face is filled with anger.
Cox wears a light smile as a barely conscious Nash, Stevens, and Cox all exit
the ring. The title is awarded back to Nash as Schenck's group throw a tantrum
and the crowd cheers for this great justice.

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 2:
THE OMEGA STEVE BEOVICH VS. JON DULBERG:
Referee:
Jose Soares
As the ring clears, “Come With Me” by P. Diddy hits and the fans begin
booing loudly for “The Human Highlight” Jon Dulberg as he makes his way down to
the ring. Dulberg, wearing a cocky smile
on his face, steps into the ring and readies himself, awaiting the opposition
he knows all too well.
As Dulberg
stands in the ring, “More Human Than Human” by White Zombie hits and the fans
cheer loudly as The Omega Steve Beovich emerges from behind the curtain. However, the Beovich they are greeted with is
not one they expected; a Steve Beovich with over 100 stitches in his head,
stitched in four different places.
However gruesome he may appear, however, Beovich sprints down to the
ring, wasting no time in going at it with Dulberg.
Troy: Alright, this
is action personified!
Beovich and
Dulberg viciously exchange rights and lefts as the match begins, with the angry
Beovich coming out on top. Beovich
pounds Dulberg back into the ropes, before tossing him against the ropes and
hitting him with a big back body drop as he returns! Dulberg gets to his feet, but Beovich quickly
spears him to the ground and begins unloading on the face of the Human
Highlight! Dulberg slinks back into the
corner, hoping to stop Beovich’s momentum, but the Omega will have none of
that, lifting Dulberg off the mat and whipping him hard into the opposite
corner, sending Dulberg there with such momentum that the Human Highlight is
sent flying over the top and to the arena floor! This isn’t enough, however, and as Dulberg
gets up, Beovich takes him down with a flying suicide dive over the top!
Having little
regard for the rules of the match, Beovich ignores the referee’s count and
whips Dulberg hard into the steel ring steps.
Dulberg grimaces in pain as he comes into contact with them, and Beovich
again takes the advantage, rolling Dulberg back into the ring. After a few well-placed stomps and kicks,
Beovich signals that the end is near, but Dulberg shoves Beovich back hard,
right into referee Jose Soares! Soares
crashes to the mat, and Dulberg responds quickly with a low blow. Beovich goes down hard, and Dulberg gets a
sick look in his eye. Noticing the
referee still down, Dulberg rolls out of the ring, and grabs the ring bell away
from the timekeeper. Dulberg then heads
back into the ring and, as Beovich gets up, waffles him in the face with the
bell!
Ferrara: His face was bad enough
already,
Beovich is
split wide open by the shot with the bell, but adrenaline keeps him in the
match. So wired up on adrenaline,
Beovich attempts to get back to his feet, but as he gets to his knee, Dulberg
bashes him in the face one more time with the bell! The Omega now crumbles to the mat in a heap,
blood gushing down his face, all his cuts having been reopened, aside from new
ones being forged. With Beovich
unconscious, Dulberg slaps on the Seventh Inning Stretch.
Ferrara: Who knows Troy, he might get
up.
Jose Soares
gets back up at this point, seeing Beovich locked in Dulberg’s deadly
submission move, large amounts of blood flowing from his face. Soares immediately calls for the bell --
which is nowhere in sight -- ordering for the match to be stopped. The fans boo vociferously as “Come With Me”
hits and Jon Dulberg is announced the winner.
Amidst rabid
fan disapproval, Dulberg exits with his head held high, feeling vindicated and
feeling like a winner.

SEGMENT 4: MATCH 3:
PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP:
MIKE GRIECO © VS. SPEED DEMON:
Referee:
Jason Church
With Beovich still struggling to get
to his feet, 50 Cent's "Da Repercussions" plays and the crowd heckles
Mike Grieco as he enters the San Diego Sports Arena with Dee Licious at his
side. He stalks his way down the ring and enters it with
The fans boo loudly and Grieco simply laughs and poses for his “adoring” fans. As Grieco poses,
Troy: You certainly need focus if you're going to wrestle in any match, but
it seems that Demon is lacking that.
Demon and Grieco lock up hard in the middle of the ring, and Demon takes down
his opponent with an arm drag. Grieco quickly gets to his feet, but is taken
clean off them when Demon clotheslines him to the canvas. Demon lifts up
Grieco, but the International Champion breaks free of Demon's grip and kicks
him in the stomach, followed with a whip into the ropes. Demon is given a hip
toss on his return and is sent to the mat. Grieco comes over and literally
kicks Demon when he's down.
The crowd also begins to notice
the presence of Reaper as he stands at the top of the ramp with his arms folded
over his chest. Justice also notices his arrival and prepares to welcome him by
charging up the ramp, straight at Reaper. Reaper retreats to the back and
Justice follows, with the crowd enthralled by this. Back in the ring, Demon and
Grieco are battling it out with punches that Demon gets the better of. He boots
Grieco in the stomach and gets him into position for the Demonizer, but
Ferrara: That's right, Troy, and that's what it's going to say in the books!
Grieco won here tonight!
Demon is not moving an inch, and
Troy: His suspension was lifted earlier today, Victor! And it looks like he
wants to take his anger out on Grieco!

SEGMENT 5: BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts backstage, where Nick Cade is standing by with The
Iceman Jason Calysto.
Cade: Jason, in just
a few moments, you’ll head to the ring to go up against a man that was once
like a brother to you, Tony Annetta. How
will you cope with the onslaught of a man who knows every move you’re going to
make?
Calysto: I think you’ve got it a little
mixed up, Nick. You know, I taught Tony
everything he knows, but I didn’t teach him everything I know. You should know me well enough to know that
I’ve always got a trick up my sleeve.
Yeah, Tony’s got Walter Gindin out there in his corner, but he doesn’t
have a lifetime of wrestling expertise in his head. I’m a Hall of Famer. I’ll find a way to get by. And anyway, it’s not like I’m wrestling
Solomon, is it? I know everything Tony
can do, and I guarantee that I’ll know what he’s gonna do tonight before he
does it. Nick, this match will be
nothing I can’t handle. And when it’s
time to shut up and wrestle… well, you get the picture. Just watch me out there. It’s not too often you get to see grown men
cry like babies, screaming for their lives in pain. But, that’s what you’re about to see.
With that,
Calysto walks off, headed for the ring.
SEGMENT 6: MATCH 4:
THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO VS. TONY ANNETTA:
Referee:
Dan Martin
The camera then cuts to the ring, where “The Mirror” by Dream Theater
hits and the
Moments later, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis overtakes the speakers, and the
fans go ballistic as The Iceman Jason Calysto steps out from behind the
curtain. Calysto, wearing a smirk on his
face, walks down to the ring and nonchalantly steps into the ring, showing
Annetta that he isn’t the least bit afraid of him. Gindin clears the ring and Calysto and
Annetta stand center-ring, staring each other down, as referee Dan Martin signals
for the bell.
Sure enough,
Annetta quickly does that, slapping the taste right out of Calysto’s mouth!
Calysto turns
back and smiles at Annetta, before he quickly turns his face to stone and
tackles Annetta to the mat! Calysto
begins viciously pounding away on Annetta’s face with furious rights and lefts,
sending the fans into a frenzy! Calysto
backs up, allowing Annetta to get to his feet, and then the Iceman dropkicks
Annetta right back down! Annetta again
gets up, but Calysto dropkicks him again, and this time, Annetta crawls to the
outside, needing a breather! The fans
cheer wildly and Annetta regroups with Gindin on the outside.
Annetta heads
back into the ring and asks Calysto for a lock-up, to which Calysto
obliges. The Iceman gets the better of
the exchange, locking Annetta in a headlock, but Annetta turns it into a
belly-to-back suplex, sending Calysto down hard. Annetta tries to immediately follow up on it,
hitting Calysto with a big legdrop.
Annetta covers… one, two, and Calysto kicks out easy.
Sensing that
he is now presented with one of the only opportunities he may have to take
control of the match, Annetta does exactly that, making absolutely sure that
Calysto stays grounded. Annetta works
over the Iceman’s legs with submission holds, looking to keep him off his
feet. Then, with Calysto prone, Annetta nails
him hard with a huge kick to the spine!
Calysto grimaces in pain, and Annetta responds only by locking on a
camel clutch, cinching in for dear life.
Ferrara: C’mon Troy, even I’m not dumb
enough to think Calysto will be beaten right here. But Annetta can do significant damage if he
applies this hold for any length of time.
Calysto stays
in the hold for nearly thirty seconds before beginning to make a comeback. Finally, at long last, Calysto reaches the
ropes, prompting the fans to cheer.
Annetta is not satisfied with the damage he did, however, and looks to
do more. Annetta lifts Calysto off the
mat and signals for the Tommygun spinebuster, his finisher. Annetta whips Calysto off the ropes, looking
to catch him with the move, but the Iceman nails him with a spinning heel kick,
bringing the fans to their feet!
Calysto,
however, sees the momentum in his favor, and is not looking to relinquish
it. As Annetta gets to his feet, Calysto
charges him and takes him down hard with a mafia kick! The fans now cheer even louder as Calysto
quickly gets up, goes to the top rope, and hits a rising Annetta with the
Bottom Line! Calysto covers… one, two,
and Annetta gets a shoulder up!
Calysto is
undaunted, and quickly lifts Annetta to his feet. Then, to the joy of the
Annetta is
driven down hard and furious and, being right in the middle of the ring, he
realizes he has nowhere to turn. After eight
seconds in the hold, Annetta taps out!
As the fans
cheer wildly, “F*ckin in the Bushes” blasts onto the speakers and Calysto exits
the ring in victory. As Calysto exits,
Walter Gindin expresses his disappointment on his face, and Tony Annetta is
left in the ring, clutching his shoulder in immense pain.

SEGMENT 7: JUMBOTRON:
An extensive video package airs, detailing the long and intense feud
between Solomon and GI Jew, dating back to when they were both under the
tutelage of Walter Gindin. The package
takes us through the entirety of their year-long feud, showing us what has led
up to tonight’s Hell-in-a-Cell confrontation.
SEGMENT 8: MATCH 5:
HELL-IN-A-CELL: SOLOMON VS. GI
JEW:
Referee: Matt Hansen
The camera cuts to ringside, where the monstrous cell begins to lower.
As the tension
in the arena continues to build, Darkseed’s “Hear Me” blasts onto the speakers
and the fans burst into raucous jeers as Solomon makes his way down the aisle,
accompanied by his agent Walter Gindin. Solomon
steps inside the massive structure, prepared for one of the most brutal
challenges of his life. He readies
himself inside the Cell, feeling that more than just his undefeated streak is
on the line.
After a moment of silence, Slipknot’s “Opium of the People” echoes over the Sports
Arena speakers and GI Jew rides down to the ring on his chopper, meeting a bevy
of cheers from the capacity crowd. Jew
parks it at the edge of the ramp and dismounts, quickly entering through the
door of the Cell and stepping inside, getting face to face with the Alaskan
Monster. As the stand-off continues,
referee Matt Hansen signals for the bell to be rung.
As soon as the
bell sounds, Solomon and Jew go at it in the center of the ring, tearing each
other to pieces and sending the crowd into a frenzy! Jew takes the advantage in the opening
moments of the contest, beating Solomon into the ropes with authority. Jew continues the beatdown until Solomon
falls through the ring ropes and crumbles to the mat outside! Jew follows him to the outside and smashes
Solomon’s head into the steel ringpost!
Solomon, at Gindin’s direction, tries to get away from GI Jew, but the two-time
PWA Champion keeps stalking him. Jew
turns Solomon around and nails him with several huge rights to the face,
sending Solomon staggering back! Then,
with Solomon on his heels, Jew tackles him into the cage, with Solomon’s back
crashing hard against the cold steel!
Jew looks to
make sure that doesn’t happen, as he grabs Solomon and tosses him back into the
ring. Solomon retreats from Jew
initially, and Jew takes advantage of that, stalking the undefeated monster
like prey. However, Jew soon learns that
Solomon has suckered him in, when Solomon grabs him and tosses him face-first
into the turnbuckle. Jew falls back, and
Solomon responds with a bone-crunching backbreaker. At this, the fans take the opportunity to boo
Solomon relentlessly, and the Alaskan Monster simply revels in the jeers. Solomon gets his wind, and then lifts Jew off
the mat, looking to do some damage.
Solomon lifts GI Jew over his head and, with little effort, gets him in gorilla-press
position and tosses him over the top rope and into the steel of the cell! Jew bounces off the side of the cell like a
rubber ball and crumbles to the mat outside the ring, smacking down with
impact! Solomon exits the ring and heads
outside, unsatisfied with the damage he has already done. Solomon picks GI Jew up, slams his face into
the cage, and begins grating it along the cell wall, sending groans of sympathy
through the capacity crowd. The maneuver
splits Jew’s face open, and the fans don’t like the sight of their hero’s blood
spilling down his face.
However, GI Jew presses on, ignoring the crimson red dripping down his
battle-scarred face, and focusing in on one simple thing: vindication. If anything, the blood sends a wave of
inspiration through Jew’s body, and he begins battling back, stunning Solomon
with hard rights, informing him that “quit” is not a word in his
vocabulary. However, Solomon reminds Jew
that “pain” is, grabbing Jew by the back of the throat and launching him hard
into a steel ringpost! Jew staggers back
and Solomon grabs him by the throat, launching him into the cell! Jew bounces back with authority, but Solomon
grabs him by the throat again, tossing him hard into the cell one more time,
this time prompting Jew to fall down in immense pain.
Solomon
continues the violent assault, rendering Jew helpless almost. Solomon grabs Jew and launches him so hard
into the cell wall that Jew goes flying right through the cage! The fans cheer this happening, but don’t cheer
as Solomon goes outside the ring along with Jew and continues the
beatdown. Solomon takes Jew over to the
announce table and perches him on it.
Solomon gets on it himself, and looks to piledrive him through it, but
Jew responds with a back body drop, sending Solomon through the adjacent
Spanish announce table!
Ferrara: Those poor, poor Spanish
announcers.
Solomon gets
up quickly, however, and has rage in his eyes.
Jew decides to climb up the side of the cage, baiting Solomon to climb
up with him. Solomon, in a fury, obliges
and begins climbing up, despite Walter Gindin’s urges to the contrary!
On the top of the cell, Solomon is dominated by GI Jew, whose right
hands stagger Solomon all the way to the edge!
With Solomon hanging on for dear life, inches away from falling perhaps
to his doom, Jew charges at him, looking to Gore him off the side! However, as Jew charges, Solomon nails him
with a boot to the jaw, knocking him down hard!
Solomon shakes off the cobwebs and goes to lift Jew up, but Jew responds
with a hard low blow! With Solomon
hunched over, Jew goes for the Magnum Driver!
However, as Jew lifts him up, Solomon slips out, spins Jew around, and
hits a monstrous Deep Freeze that sends Jew crashing through the top of the
cell and down to the ring below! The
fans break into a furious “holy shit” chant and even Solomon looks confused by
what just happened!
Solomon cracks
a small smirk as he begins slowly climbing down the side of the cell, making
his way back to the ring. At long
length, Solomon re-enters the cell, slides into the ring, and stands above his
fallen, bloodied foe. Resting one boot
on Jew’s chest, Solomon expects victory as the referee counts… one, two,
thre-and Jew somehow gets a shoulder up, barely!
Furious,
Solomon shoves the official out of the way before yanking Jew up from the mat. Solomon then hoists Jew onto his shoulders,
and blasts him down with a second, furious Deep Freeze. This time, Solomon hooks the leg as the
referee counts… one, two, three.
Darkseed’s “Hear
Me” blasts onto the speakers and the fans respond with raucous jeers. Solomon exits the cell, still in disbelief
that GI Jew kicked out of being tossed through the cell. However, he shakes off the disbelief and
revels in his victory for just a moment, before realizing that the task at hand
was now focused on one thing and one thing only - obtaining the PWA
Championship.
