8: BACKSTAGE:
The shot takes us up
the Las Vegas strip to the MGM Grand, where Showtime Damon Savage is with a
bevy of ladies as "Not That" Rodney King is chatting on a cell phone.
king hangs up the phone and heads over to his client.
King:
Just got off the phone with Bob Arum, we got you up close and personal, front
row seats for the next fight he promotes here in Vegas.
Savage:
Well Bobby knows how Showtime rolls. Great job Rodney. Hey, I can't get up
right now. (Whispers) Thanks to this shorty in the red right here, if you know
what I mean. Could you bring me back a White Russian from the bar?
King: You
got it champ.
King heads to the bar and
places the order, but looks up as he sees The Ring's TV coverage of Vladimir
Vydrina. The video package shows the Russian National Champion destroying
several opponents, knocking each out with huge right hand shots to the head.
The package wraps up showing him posing at a press conference with his title
belt draped over the shoulder of Natasha Vydrina, who was last seen on
Frequency last week. King shows signs of worry and regret on his face as he
grabs the drink and brings it back to Showtime.
Savage:
Thanks bro. Hey Rod, why you look so down man? What's goin on?
King:
Remember that Russian girl from last week?
Savage:
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Natasha I think.
King: I'm
not spoiling the party, but we gotta get in contact with her soon. Real soon.
Savage:
Rod, the only white Russian I wanna see is this one in my hand right now. We'll
get to all that later.
King:
(Sighs) Alright champ.

9: BACKSTAGE:
The camera quickly cuts
backstage, where the Progressive Champion Dean Nash is being viciously beaten
down by Superstar Scott Hosemann, Damien Fields, The Naturals, and Justin
Schenck! No officials have yet hit the scene to quell the assault, but as
the beating continues, Damien Fields rushes the scene, looking to even the odds
a bit. However, Fields fails to get the job done and also becomes a
victim of the numbers game. The five assailants beat Nash and Fields
down, leaving them defenseless, before the officials finally make their way
over to stop the assault and separate them. Justin Schenck, however,
expresses a look of ultimate pleasure as Nash and Fields are attended to, and
maintains that look when PWA owner Bryan Conroy gets in his face.
Conroy: What the hell is your
problem, Schenck?! This kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated!
Schenck: (laughing) So sue me. Let's go, men.
Schenck and his crew then exit indignantly, leaving a furious Conroy to seethe
in his anger as we take a commercial break.

SEGMENT 10: MATCH 4: DAMIEN FIELDS VS. REAPER:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
“Ride
The Lightning” by Metallica suddenly plays and bring out Damien Fields. The
crowd welcomes him with a decent ovation, and he tags the hands of the audience
on his way to the ring. After he’s entered the ring and settled in,
Buckcherry’s “Alone” prompts the crowd to boo for the cryptic Reaper.
Indifferent towards the crowd, Reaper trudges to the ring and climbs inside.
The referee says some words and signals for the bell.
Reaper and Fields circle the ring briefly and lock up in the center. Reaper takes
hold of Fields’ arm and whips him into the ropes. On his return, Reaper scoops
up Fields and plants him with a sidewalk slam. He goes for the cover and looks
to put it away early, but Fields kicks out after barely hitting two. Reaper
rises to his feet and lifts up Fields off the mat. He irish whips him and
crushes him with another sidewalk slam that makes Fields clutch his back in
pain. Reaper takes the opportunity to stomp on Fields before lifting him back
up. Fields manages to break free from Reapers grip and kicks him in the gut. He
shoves Reaper into the ropes, but Reaper clotheslines Fields with an
outstretched arm. Reaper goes for another pin, but Fields escapes again with a
two count.
Reaper peels Fields off the mat and delivers a suplex that plasters Fields
against the mat. As Reaper rises to his feet, he stares up the ramp and notices
Speed Demon and Justice walking down to the ring. They stand by ringside and
Reaper continues to watch them, which gives Fields the opportunity to get back
to his feet. He rushes over to Reaper and catches his backside, slipping an arm
around his head and preparing to deliver a neckbreaker! As Fields leaps into
the air to bring Reaper down, his boot accidentally catches the referee’s face!
Fields lands the move and both Reaper and the referee are on the mat. At this
moment Demon and Justice slide into the ring and surround Reaper.
Troy: Uh oh, this doesn’t look good for Reaper.
Fields is not sure what he should do with the referee down. However, Demon and
Justice seem to have other plans. They stand behind Reaper as he slowly rises
to his feet. Speed Demon reaches over and spins Reaper around, but turns around
and destroys Fields with the Demonizer! Both Justice and the crowd are shocked,
but Reaper stares at Demon with a smile. With Fields sprawled out on the mat,
Demon looks over at Reaper and stares at him coldly through the corner of his
eyes. Speed Demon exits the ring, followed by a confused Justice who questions
his partner as to why he attacked Fields and not Reaper. Demon refuses to say a
word as they disappear behind the curtain.
Reaper watches as they leave the area, and then turns his attention back to a
recovering Damien Fields. Before he can launch any kind of counterattack,
Reaper effortlessly annihilates Fields with the Passed Judgment Piledriver.
With the referee coming back to senses, Reaper covers Fields for the three
count.
Ferrara: You can never really tell what’s going on in the minds of those two,
but regardless, Reaper beat Damien Fields tonight.
“Alone” plays once more, and Reaper stares up the ramp momentarily before
raising his arms for a less than ecstatic crowd.

SEGMENT 11: RINGSIDE:
“Have You
Ever Felt” by Ill Nino plays for a less than fanatic crowd, as they decide to
boo instead of welcome Mike Griffin, Greg Tantalus, collectively known as TFU,
and Lauren Tantalus. Once they’ve entered the ring,
The crowd is sickened by this display, and Greg asks for the microphone, which
he receives from
Tantalus: Mike, it’s alright. I understand that it was business and that
it was something you had to do. If I were in your shoes, I probably would’ve
done the same thing. However, I think we can agree that we need a rematch. I
mean really, who would have thought that they would make a come back? I’m sure
that if both of us were there, then there would be no way that Dawkins and
Baccaro would win.
Sevendust’s “Black” interrupts Tantalus from speaking any further and brings
out both Paul Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro to the delight of the crowd. They lock
eyes with TFU as they head down the ramp and enter the ring. Dawkins, with a
mic of his own, speaks when the music dies down.
Dawkins: You can keep whining all you want. The fact is that we beat you
fair and fair in a tag team match. Just like the name says, it’s supposed to be
a team effort, and we were the better team. It’s not our fault that
Baccaro: But because we’re such nice guys, we’ll be glad to give you a rematch,
if only to show you that you just don’t have what it takes to beat us. And
that’s the team work that Paul and I have.
Before TFU is given a chance to respond, Justin Schenck and The Naturals barge
through the crowd burst into the ring, ambushing the tag team champs from
behind. TFU and Lauren all look at each other and keep their distance until the
damage as been done. As soon as Baccaro and Dawkins hit the mat, The Naturals
mercilessly stomp on them while Schenck picks up the mic that Baccaro dropped.
Schenck: Not so fast. We’re not about to let you have all the fun. If
anyone around here is getting a title shot at the Tag Team Championship, it’s
going to be the guys that just destroyed them. The Naturals.
Dawkins and Baccaro are unable to move on the mat, and with the damage done,
The Naturals stare across the ring at TFU. They return an equally menacing
glare as the crowd offers nothing but jeers, and we fade to a commercial.

SEGMENT 12: MATCH
5: NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SCYTHE VS.
SOLOMON:
Referee:
Matt Hansen
All
eyes turn to the ring as "Hear Me" by Darkseed hits. The crowd boos
reach the highest pitch of the evening as Walter Gindin leads Solomon down to
the ring for one of the biggest matches of his short career.
Ferrara: The way I see it, he has to. Solomon has to win
this match. Scythe wrestled Jaguar for 35 minutes in a win at Hellbent, and
then went an hour against him the following night in
As
Solomon waits in the ring, "With You" by
Solomon
barely has time to react as Scythe jumps up and nails him in the head with
rapid fire right hands. Solomon reels backwards and Scythe hits the ropes to
nail a clothesline. Solomon still stands after the shot and Scythe hits another
that reels Solomon further, but he still refuses to fall. Scythe hits the ropes
to try one more time and runs right into a gigantic boot to the face by
Solomon!
Solomon
makes a nonchalant cover for a long two count before working over Scythe in a corner.
He chokes the champion with his boot until Matt Hansen breaks it up at the
count of four. Scythe looks weary in the corner and Solomon picks him up in a
front facelock and holds him high before dropping him with a thunderous
vertical suplex. Solomon covers again for one....two...and Scythe still kicks
out! Gindin pounds the mat in frustration and Solomon looks to finish off the
champion by stalking Scythe for The Deep Freeze.
Scythe
finally gets to his feet and turns right into Solomon's grip. The Alaskan
Monster hoists him up and swings him in the Deep Freeze, but Scythe floats over
and lands behind Solomon before pushing him right into the turnbuckles
chest-first. Solomon reels backwards and Scythe grabs him before planting him
with a big reverse DDT! Scythe struggles in getting up, but finally does, and
signals for The Diving Blade with Solomon still flat on his back!
Scythe
begins his slow climb up to the top rope, obviously spent from his battle. He
heads from the middle rope to the top, but he doesn't see Solomon sit up behind
him! The Alaskan Monster shakes the cobwebs from his head and Scythe jumps
backwards, flipping into Solomon's arms before he drills the champion with The
Deep Freeze! Solomon makes an emphatic cover, hooking the far leg as Hansen
counts to three and calls for the bell!
"Hear
Me" replays as Gindin celebrates, but Solomon stares a long and cold stare
at Scythe as the referee checks on him. Solomon looks out to the Vegas crowd
and makes a belt motion around his waist, signaling the title coming to the
Cold White North in 32 days as Frequency comes to an end.
