8: RINGSIDE:
As we return from
commercial, we find PWA reporter Nick Cade standing in the ring.
Cade: Ladies and gentlemen, as we
all know, last week, during a championship match, Scythe was viciously attacked
by a man that we all know very little about, and a man that we had not seen
before on PWA television. In the past week, we have learned that this man
is a recent signee of PWA owner Bryan Conroy, a man
that's been working in the developmental territory for quite some time, and a
man that we still do not know his connection to the Modern-Day Samurai.
But, without further adieu, I give to you the man responsible for putting
Scythe on the shelf for 4-6 weeks, Bishop Cross!
The fans then start to boo loudly as Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the
Opera overture" hits and a tall, toned African-American, decked in black
and metallic attire, tinted red, slowly makes his way to the ring. He has
an ankh tattooed around his eye and a buzzed head and just simply looks
intimidating as he steps in front of Cade, who cautiously extends the
microphone. Cross then suddenly rips it
out of his hand and begins to speak.
Cross:
As I look around this arena, scanning the faces of those of you in the
crowd, I see one common thing in your eyes.
Fear. Everyone
has fear. Fear of something. Last Tuesday, Scythe learned that the thing
that he should fear… is Bishop Cross.
You see, you people don’t know it, but Scythe and I are no strangers to
one another. As a matter of fact, years
ago, Scythe and I were tag team partners, coming up through the ranks of the SoCal independent scene at accelerated rates. More than that, we were like brothers, both
personal protégés of Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, being the only two graduates
of our class. I was a different person
then. I loved you people, valued your
opinions. But then Scythe showed me how
cruel the world really was. After
promising me that when it was time to move on, we’d move on together, he got an
offer to come to the
Cade: But why now?
Cross: Did I say you could speak?! The time is now because Bishop Cross SAYS the
time is now! And if there is anyone in
that locker room that doubts what I say, doubts what will come to pass, come
out here and tell me that to my face.
After
a brief pause, “Ride the Lightning” by Metallica hits
and the fans cheer as Damien Fields appears on the ramp, microphone in tow.
Fields:
You know, all the boys are watching this in the back, and we all think
you’re a walking pile of bullshit. I
know I’m not the best spokesperson for the locker room, since I’ve only been
here since July, but I’ve been around long enough to know a chump like you when
I see one. What you did to Scythe last
week is gonna do nothing but make you a lot of enemies
around here, and you consider me one of them.
Cross: Oh is that so? Then perhaps you wouldn’t mind backing up
your words in the ring… this Saturday at Fallen Souls.
Fields: It’d be my pleasure to be the
first guy to wipe that grin off your face and diamond cutter your ass. Cross, I’m gonna cut you down to size.
Cross: (smirking) We’ll
see, young Damien. We’ll see.
The two then stare each other down as “Phantom of the Opera overture” hits,
Fields starting intently, and Cross smirking, before exiting the ring and
disappearing into the crowd as we take a break.

9: MATCH 3: INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION THE OMEGA STEVE
BEOVICH & JUSTICE VS. THE LOST SOULS:
Referee: Jose Soares
Jose Soares stands in the ring and waits as White Zombie's "More
Human Than Human" takes to the speakers. The
crowd roars as The Omega Steve Beovich steps through the curtain and he
acknowledges their cheers before climbing into the ring and removing his
International title belt. "Where Da Hood
At" by DMX plays next, and the same reaction greets Justice as he marches
down the ramp and into the ring. He and Beovich instantly begin squabbling with
Soares in the middle, trying to keep them apart.
Troy: As much as they
hate the Lost Souls for setting them up in their sick reunion, I think they can
put it on hold until this weekend.
American Head Charge's "A Violent Reaction" takes over and bood flood the arena as Speed Demon and Reaper step through
the curtain. They get halfway down the ramp and their opponents waste zero time
as Justice and Beovich go right after them outside the ring!
Beovich and Reaper trade blows as Justice begins to pound away on Speed
Demon. Beovich and Reaper get broken up and eventually take their places on the
ring apron as Justice tears into Speed Demon in the
ring.
Justice batters his former partner with a flurry of fists before
sending him into the ropes and sending him crashing down with a huge
Tilt-A-Whirl Slam! He covers for one...two...and Demon barely kicks out.
Beovich asks for a tag, but Justice declines and turns
right into a surprise low blow from Demon that allows him to make a tag to
Reaper.
Reaper clubs Justice in the back before powerslamming
him down to the canvas. Comfortable with his advantage, Reaper heads up to the
top rope for The Last Breath, but Justice rolls away
and he misses the legdrop!
Beovich finally tags in and quickly catches fire, leveling Reaper with
a right hand and tossing an incoming Speed Demon through the ropes and out of
the ring. Reaper gets to his feet and Beovich catches him in a front waistlock before sending him flying with an impressive
overhead belly-to-belly suplex! Beovich covers for a two count, but he stops as
strong murmurs welcome the arrival of Dee Licious as she makes her way down the
ramp.
Beovich looks at Justice, who becomes irate at the sight of
"A Violent Reaction" plays again and Dee Licious shrugs her
shoulders before turning around to leave. The Lost souls follow suit, but
Beovich recovers to get right in Justice's face. Justice shoves him back and it
doesn't take long before both men are brawling in the middle of the ring!

SEGMENT 10:
JUMBOTRON:
"Fallen
Souls" by Ours hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen
that reads "PWA Fallen Souls 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 Fallen Souls logo.
O’Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O’Brien and
this is the Fallen Souls report. On Saturday night, November 20th, the
PWA will return to pay-per-view with our November pay-per-view spectacular,
Fallen Souls. The event will emanate from the Sullivan Arena in

SEGMENT 11:
BACKSTAGE:
We're taken backstage
in a room where Solomon and Failla are staring each other down. Gindin is
pacing in the background.
Gindin: Well, this is a predicament that
we're in. We've got a match tonight where it's you two against GI Jew and Jason
Calysto, and Solomon and I aren't even sure if we can trust you, Failla.
Solomon: It's not as if I actually need him in my corner. I could take GI Jew
and Calysto by myself. Just make sure you stay out of my way, Failla.
Failla: I'm not the one you should be worrying about yet, Solomon. My attention
is focused on destroying GI Jew tonight. But just so that you don't get too
comfortable, after I'm done with GI Jew, that title is next on my list of
priorities. You'd just better hope that you're not still holding it. I'll see
you in the ring... Partner.
Failla slams the door on his way out as he heads for the ring, leaving a
worried Gindin and a pensive Solomon in the room.

SEGMENT 12: MATCH 4: PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SOLOMON &
ANTHONY FAILLA VS. THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO & GI JEW:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
Slipknot's
"Opium of The People" sends the crowd into a frenzy
as the motorcycle carrying GI Jew roars down to the ring. Jew speeds the bike
around the ring and parks it at the side. He climbs into the ring and poses on
each of the turnbuckles, saluting each corner, before "F*ckin In The Bushes" by Oasis
hits for the second time tonight, bringing out Jason Calysto. He acknowledges
the crowd as they cheer him on. Calysto slides into the ring and greets GI Jew
before posing for the fans.
Troy: These two will be teaming up tonight to take on Anthony Failla and
Solomon, who they'll be facing individually in just four days.
Ferrara: That's right,
G-Unit's "G'd Up" plays, and the crowd
becomes highly negative towards Anthony Failla as he approaches the ring. He
stands on the outside and keeps his eye on GI Jew, who is pacing about the ring
closely watching Failla. As Failla's theme fades, Darkseed's "Hear Me" floods the arena and the
crowd boos louder for Solomon. The champion walks down to the ring with the
belt strapped around his waist and Gindin follows him to the ring. Once Solomon
reaches the base of the ramp, neither he nor Failla acknowledge each other.
They simply climb into the ring as the referee stands in the middle, holding
the two teams apart. Gindin stands patiently on the outside as Solomon hands
his title over to the referee.
With Calysto choosing to start things off for his team, Solomon and Failla
argue briefly about who will begin. Solomon chooses to let Failla wrestle first
and climbs onto the apron. While they continue to bicker, Calysto bursts
forward and clotheslines Failla to the mat! With Failla on the ground, Calysto
quickly goes in and locks in an armbar! After several
moments, Calysto releases the move and gets to his feet. He lifts Failla off
the ground and whips him into the ropes. When Failla returns, Calysto scoops
him up and plants him with a big sidewalk slam! The crowd is cheering for the
early advantage! Calysto goes over to his corner and tags in GI Jew, and the
fans roar in approval!
GI Jew goes to work on Failla, dizzying him with lefts and rights! Jew lifts
Failla up and sends him gut first onto his knee! He peels Failla off the mat,
but Failla breaks free and begins to battle back. They brawl with each other,
but Failla lands a kick to the stomach, followed by a huge
DDT that the crowd cringes in seeing. Failla raises his arms high and the crowd
boos in response. He picks Jew off the mat and attempts to whip him into the
corner, but Jew manages to reverse it, launching him into a neutral corner. Jew
follows closely behind with an outstretched arm, but Failla moves out of the
way and Jew lands on the turnbuckle! Failla rushes over to his corner and tags
in Solomon!
Solomon climbs into the ring and meets GI Jew, staring face to face with him
for several moments. Suddenly they break out into a battle, blasting each other
in the face with fists. Solomon manages to gain the momentum and mows down GI
Jew with a running clothesline. He beckons Jew to get back to his feet, and
when Jew reaches a knee, Solomon closes in. However, Jew shoves Solomon
backwards into the ropes and bolts forward, connecting with a horrific Gore!
The crowd comes to their feet chanting, "GORE! GORE! GORE!"
Before Solomon can get back to his feet, Jew moves back to his corner to tag
Calysto back into the match!
Calysto flies into the ring and capitalizes as Solomon is still on the mat and
locks in the champion with the Crossface! The fans
are blowing the roof off of the arena as Solomon shouts out in pain! He raises
his arm!
Failla enters the ring to try and break up the count, but Jew rushes into the
ring to stop him! The referee tries to get in between the two to get out of the
ring, but they inadvertently stampede over the referee. Failla manages to
clothesline Jew out of the ring, and seeing the referee down, he leaves the
ring himself to grab a chair. Calysto continues to wrench the Crossface on Solomon, who refuses to tap out. Failla moves
over to Jew, who is recovering on the outside, and cracks him over the skull
with the chair. The crowd boos as Jew falls against the ground.
He slides into the ring with the chair and walks over to Calysto who is still
holding the move. The crowd is warning Calysto to turn around, but it's too
late as Failla smacks the chair against Calysto's
spine. Calysto arches his back and rolls around on the mat, and Solomon
suddenly shoots back up to his feet!
Ferrara: I think he's sending a message to Calysto,
Solomon effortlessly lifts Calysto over his shoulders, before sending him
hurling towards the mat with a vicious Deep Freeze. The referee comes to as
Solomon hooks the leg... One... Two... Three.
"Hear Me" begins to play once more.
Ferrara: I'm not so sure if Calysto had a chance there,
Solomon groggily rises to his feet and raises his arm, but he too falls victim to Failla. With a chair shot to the back of the
head, Solomon topples over and crumbles into the mat. The crowd doesn't know
what to think at this point. Gindin is confused as well and climbs into the
ring to check on his client, but Failla waffles him across the spine as well.
Gindin is sprawled out against the mat as GI Jew slowly rolls himself back into
the ring. Before he can get back to his feet, Failla lands another chair shot,
busting Jew open and knocking him out cold this time. Failla looks at the chaos
surrounding him and notices that he missed one target. For good measure, Failla
plasters referee Tom Stevens with the chair. Bodies are scattered across the
ring, and Failla raises the chair up high. The fans boo for this turn of events
as the screen fades to black.
