SEGMENT 9: BACKSTAGE:
The
camera shifts backstage, where Scott Cornelius is standing by with The Iceman
Jason Calysto.
Cornelius: Jason Calysto,
the time is drawing near. In just about
an hour, you will step into the ring with Solomon to challenge for the PWA
Championship. What is running through
your mind right now?
Calysto: What’s running through my
mind? Scott, have you ever been in a
championship match? Of
course not. Then there’s no way I
could possibly describe it to you. But
one thing that is running through my mind is wondering who these people are
gonna be cheering tonight. Solomon is
their hometown boy. So, for that reason,
I’m not relying on anything tonight, not the fan reaction, nothing. I’m just relying on what has brought me here
all these years: my competitive drive. I’m
gonna do what I do best, and that’s shut up and wrestle. Cuz Scott, the bottom line is when it’s time
to shut up and wrestle, there’s nobody better than the Iceman. And tonight, in Solomon’s hometown, I’m gonna
make history. I’m gonna end his streak
and go back home to
Calysto then
confidently exits as we return ringside.

THE OMEGA STEVE BEOVICH © VS. JUSTICE:
Referee:
Dan Martin
"Where Da Hood At" by DMX hits and the
crowd cheers instinctively as Justice steps through
the curtain towards the ring.
Ferrara:
That's true, but you know what would help that along? If he has
Justice climbs into the ring and the focus shifts
back to the entrance as "More Human Than
Human" by White Zombie plays The Omega Steve Beovich to the ring. The
International Champion enters alone, leaving many wondering where Dee Licious
is if she is with either man.
Beovich rolls into the ring and forks over his belt
to Dan Martin before locking up with Justice. Justice easily muscles Beovich
back into a corner and he uses his 75-pound weight advantage to keep him there
before delivering a back elbow hard into his face. Justice then issues a
violent Irish whip that sends him crashing into the turnbuckles and down on the
mat.
The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Justice as he
slowly and almost cockily heads back over to further his advantage, but Beovich
stuns him with a hard shot to the midsection and a swinging neckbreaker.
Beovich covers, but barely gets a two count as Justice's arm shoots off the
mat. Both men take awhile in reaching their feet, but the focus shifts once
again as Dee Licious begins to quietly make her way to ringside.
Beovich gets up first and cannot take his eyes off
the former Women's Champion as she switches her way to the ring, but he turns
around to only get leveled by a huge boot to the face from Justice!
Troy:
Oh no, that can't be true!
Justice looks perplexed as
Justice yells at
Justice turns around to be blasted right in between
the eyes by an iron crowbar, courtesy of Mike Grieco! Justice hits the deck and
begins to bleed profusely as Grieco turns his attention to Beovich. The former
International Champion takes the crowbar to the leg of the man he lost his
title to, repeatedly bashing Beovich's right knee with reckless abandon.
Grieco continues his attack until Martin recovers
to call for the bell. He throws the match out as a dozen officials rush out to
help an unconscious and bloodied Justice, along with an International Champion
who is writhing in pain.

BACKSTAGE:
The
camera is brought backstage to where Traci Reed is standing by with Anthony
Failla. The crowd immediately begins to boo; they are obviously not happy to
see him.
Reed: Anthony, you have a match coming up with GI Jew in just a
few short moments and--
Failla: And you want to know what I’m thinking, right? Well, I’m thinking that
GI Jew is about to get an ass kicking that’ll make him consider going into
early retirement. Let me tell you something. Last month, I went into the very
depths of Hell, known as the House of Horrors match, and I came back better
than ever, while we hadn’t seen GI Jew around for a month. What I did to GI Jew
this past Frequency was nothing compared to what I went through. If anything,
it was a taste of things to come, because tonight, I’m going to let GI Jew
experience what it’s like to walk barefoot through Hell.
Failla marches off and proceeds to the ring, leaving Traci Reed behind.
SEGMENT 12: MATCH
7: GI JEW VS. ANTHONY FAILLA:
Referee:
Jose Soares
The camera returns
to the ring, and Snoop Dogg’s “Murder was the Case” hits the speakers and the
fans are momentarily confused, before breaking into boos for the dangerous
Anthony Failla. Failla stalks his way
down to the ring before stepping inside it, intimidating referee Jose Soares,
and waiting for his opponent. As Failla
stands there, beckoning his opponent to emerge, Slipknot’s “Opium of the People”
hits and GI Jew comes storming from behind the curtain on his Chopper, zooming
down to the ring while the fans cheer rabidly.
Jew quickly parks the bike and dismounts, sliding into the ring and
immediately slugging it out with Failla as the bell sounds.
As soon as they get in there,
Failla and Jew begin repeatedly bashing one another with furious left and
rights, at blazing speed, prompting continuous cheers from the capacity
crowd. Jew takes the initial lead in the
brawl, pounding Failla back into the ropes and continuing the pounding, sending
the two of them tumbling to the outside of the ring. While outside, Failla gains the advantage and
makes Jew vulnerable. He then grabs the
grand-slam winner and whips him hard into the steel steps. As Jew winces in pain, Failla stalks in on
him, lifting him up and dropping him throat-first across the steel
barricade.
At this, referee Soares leaves the ring to appeal to Failla to get back into
the ring, but Failla feigns a right hand at Soares, who throws himself to the
ground in fear. Failla then turns his
attention back to Jew, but Jew is waiting for him, and responds with a sharp
elbow to the gut. GI Jew now battles
back to his feet and continues pounding Failla on the outside. Soares is now back in the ring and counting,
since both men blatantly refuse to return to the ring. Jew grabs Failla and tackles him into the
barricade, prompting the crowd to cheer.
With Failla at bay, Jew climbs back onto the apron and steps back into
the ring, breaking the count. He then
climbs up to the top rope and flies off with an attempted axe-handle, but
Failla moves out of the way, and Jew crashes throat-first onto the barricade!
Blood begins oozing from the
mouth of GI Jew, and Failla senses it like a shark. Failla mounts Jew and begins pounding him
into oblivion, blood continuing to pour.
As the referee counts “eight,” Failla rolls into the ring and then rolls
back out, continuing the furious beating on Jew. As Jew stumbles back to a vertical base, Failla
lifts him in gorilla slam position, carries him over to the announce table,
tosses him up, and catches him with a furious spinebuster, blasting him with the
Almighty Sacrifice right through the table!
As
Indeed Failla did hear him, and
turns his attention to
Failla now returns to the ring, chair in hand, as Soares begins to rise. When he does, Failla smashes him in the face
with a chair, knocking him out as well! Officials
now pour out from the back to check on all the fallen souls (pun
not-so-cleverly intended) lying ringside.
As trainers and other referees hit the ring, Failla begins taking them
out left and right. All attempts to
restrain this madman prove futile, as he wields the chair like a maniac in the
center of the ring. Finally, on the
outside, GI Jew, losing massively amounts of blood, rises to his feet, unbeknownst
to Failla, swinging a chair at officials in the ring. Kerry Cox is amongst the officials that hit
the ring, and he is screaming as Failla to put down the weapon. As this happens, GI Jew positions himself in
the ring, setting up for the Gore.
Finally, at length, Failla is prompted to turn around, and as he does,
GI Jew Gores him straight to hell, nearly knocking him
out of his boots!
The fans cheer wildly as Failla goes down, and Jew goes strictly on adrenaline,
pounding away on Failla, not allowing him to get a breath. The officials now try to stop Jew, but he
shoves them down to the mat one by one as well.
Finally, a weakened Jew is restrained, a process which takes a good
minute or two, and by then, Failla has returned to his feet. With Jew held back by officials, Failla picks
up his chair, shoves the officials out of the way, and clobbers Jew in the skull
with the chair! More blood now flows
from Jew as he hits the ground with a thud, unconscious. Several more officials also take chair shots
here. Cox now hits the ring and goes to
grab the chair from Failla, but Failla boots the Commissioner in the stomach
and DDT’s him on the chair!
As the crowd boos furiously, Failla smiles smugly, raising his chair high, as “Murder
was the Case” hits. Failla then reaches
down, smearing his hand with GI Jew’s blood, before rubbing it on his chest,
turning his smile into an evil, sadistic grin.

We
head back to the interview area, where Rick Madsen is alongside the PWA World
Heavyweight Champion and Walter Gindin.
Madsen: I'm standing by with the PWA World
Heavyweight Champion Solomon and Walter Gindin, but before I start this guys,
the last time I was around you two, you Deep Freezed me through a table and
took me out of the PWA for months. So don't be offended if I'm a little
uncomfortable here.
Solomon: Rick, that's perfectly understandable
and I am going to do something that I don't think I have ever done before. I am
going to say....I'm sorry.
Madsen: Huh?
Solomon: That's right. I apologize for taking
you clean out over a year ago and basically taking food off your table for so
many months. I mean, I could have done you in for good, but you brought up a
good point tonight. My differences tonight shouldn't be with a petty announcer
like yourself. You know why? Because
I'm home tonight Rick. That's right. I'm back
home in
Madsen: Well not--
Solomon: Shut up Rick! Calysto, I can't tell
you how long I've waited for this. The time has come to put your career on ice
where it belongs, meaning when I'm done with you, I'll simply toss you right
out of the arena. But now you see Rick, my problems are no longer with you. I

8: PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP:
SOLOMON © VS. THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
The camera returns ringside,
where Paul Ferrara is sitting with Nick Cade.
Cade: Thanks Paul. This certainly isn’t the way I wanted to get
myself a gig calling a pay-per-view main event, but duty calls, and I have
answered. Anyway folks, let’s get down
to Lee Palmer, who is ready to go with our main event!
Palmer: Ladies and gentlemen, this
next match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the PWA World Heavyweight
Championship!
As the fans cheer, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis explodes onto the
speakers, sending the crowd into even more of a frenzy.
Palmer: Introducing first, the
challenger, from
Calysto emerges
from behind the curtain, a look of complete passion and determination on his
face. The Iceman does not appear to be
in his normal, jovial mood tonight, realizing that the fans are cheering him
now, but the possibility of them switching sides to their hometown hero tonight
are ever-present. As Calysto steps into
the ring and the cheers die down, Darkseed’s “Hear Me” hits, and the roof of
the Sullivan Arena absolutely blasts off.
Palmer: And
his opponent, from Barrow,
Massive “Sol-o-mon” chants now
break out from the
Cade: Alright, here we go! This will be Solomon’s biggest challenge to
date!
Cade:
Yes, and that’s despite an 80-pound weight disadvantage.
The “Sol-o-mon” chants are
still ever-present as the two continue staring each other down, neither man
wanting to make the first move. However,
after several moments, Solomon rears back and shoves Calysto, knocking him down
and sending him halfway across the ring!
The fans cheer wildly at this, but Calysto springs right back up. The Iceman gets in Solomon’s face and begins
chopping the hell out of his chest, actions that prompt the
Cade: Listen to them! They’re booing Jason Calysto!
Ferrara: What did you
expect, Cade? These people love
their hometown hero!
Calysto chops relentlessly, but Solomon quickly tightens up and becomes
impervious to the sting. After a few,
Solomon continues walking towards Calysto, daring him to continue chopping. He does, but they have no effect. With that, Solomon grabs Calysto by the
throat and launches him across the ring, sending him so far that he slides
underneath the bottom rope and falls to the outside! The fans cheer this, and cheer even louder as
Solomon distracts referee Tom Stevens, allowing Walter Gindin to stomp away on
the prone challenger!
Finally, Calysto is rolled back
into the ring and Solomon begins working him over with stomps, trying to stop
Calysto before he ever gets started in this match. Solomon lifts up Calysto and whips him
viciously into the turnbuckle, the impact of which sends the Iceman crashing
down to the mat. Calysto grabs the ropes
and tries to lift himself back to a vertical base, but the champion won’t allow
it, bringing the Iceman back down with a running kneelift. Solomon appears to get cocky at this point,
playing to the capacity crowd at the Sullivan Arena. However, this momentary distraction is enough
to allow the Iceman to return to his feet, shove Solomon into the ropes, and
roll him up! One, two, and Solomon kicks out!
Cade: That was close!
Solomon, feeling the same thing, gets up and viciously clotheslines Calysto
to the ground, realizing how painfully close he just came to losing the world
championship to a simple rollup. As
Calysto tries to get back to his feet, Solomon blasts him with several repeated
knees to the gut, each one monstrously lifting the Iceman off his feet. Finally, Solomon grabs him by the throat and
tosses him halfway across the ring, prompting the fans to cheer.
Cade: He’s manhandling him!
Solomon continues stalking his
prey, trying to maintain his advantage, but with everything he throws at the
Iceman, Calysto remains able to take it.
Finally, Solomon tires of the games, and looks to finish off his pesky
opposition. Solomon lifts Calysto up and
nails a huge super back suplex, sending Calysto’s head crashing hard into the
mat! Solomon covers… one, two, and
Calysto just gets a shoulder up! The
champion and Gindin are furious, believing they had three. Solomon responds by lifting Calysto up and
whipping him hard into the corner, so hard that he crashes back down to the mat
on his face. As Solomon stalks him,
Calysto slowly pulls himself up. Once
the Iceman is at a vertical base, Solomon heaves him into the corner, and then
perches him onto the top rope. With
Calysto prone, Solomon climbs up to the top rope, and leaps off with a
monstrous superplex! The fans at the
Sullivan Arena cheer wildly as Calysto hits the mat hard! Solomon covers… one, two, thr-and Calysto
kicks out again!
Cade: I don’t believe it!
Solomon is now
furious, arguing with the official that he in fact had three there. He unleashes his aggression on Calysto,
however, making him pay for the official’s decision to not count him out. Solomon unloads on him with flying fists,
pummeling the two-time former PWA Champion into oblivion. The champ lifts Calysto up and tosses him
shoulder-first into the steel ringpost, sending Calysto through immense pain as
he falls back. With Calysto writhing on
the mat, Solomon signals for the Deep Freeze, and the crowd bursts into cheers.
Solomon stalks Calysto as he slowly makes it to his feet, waiting for the
Iceman to turn around. When he finally does, the champ heaves him onto his shoulders, and
the fans burst with anticipation for what is about to happen. Solomon spins Calysto, but the Iceman hangs
on, and turns the Deep Freeze into a huge DDT that
takes Solomon down hard! Solomon and
Calysto both lie on the mat, neither man moving, until the Iceman kips up and
beckons Solomon to his feet!
Cade: Oh my God! Jason Calysto is still alive!
Solomon gets to his feet, and
Calysto goes wild, pounding away on him with big lefts and rights! Solomon can’t even get his bearings as Calysto
continues beating the holy hell out of him, falling down to the mat, and
rolling to the outside! However, Calysto
doesn’t let him recover at all, seamlessly leaping over the top rope and taking
him down with a huge flying bodypress!
Finally, after an entire match of booing him, the Alaskan crowd begins
cheering for the Iceman! Calysto gets up
and rolls Solomon back into the ring, looking to continue the assault. However, as he goes to lift him, Solomon
grabs him by the throat! The Iceman
looks to fight out of it, but Solomon shoves him off the ropes. The champ waits for him to return, but when
he does, Calysto blasts him with the spinning heel kick!
Cade: The spinning heel kick! He hit it!
This match is almost over!
Calysto is revved up and ready
to go as he stands by the corner, waiting for Solomon to rise to his feet. When he does, Calysto charges hard, blasting
him in the jaw with a furious mafia kick, busting the champion open! The fans cheer wildly now as Calysto perches
the top rope, looking for the Bottom Line.
Walter Gindin hops onto the apron, trying to shove Calysto off, but the
Iceman kicks him in the jaw, sending Gindin to the arena floor! Solomon then turns around, and Calysto dives
off with the Bottom Line, connecting with full impact! Calysto covers… one, two, and Solomon
launches him off! The Iceman is a bit
shocked, but remains undaunted. Solomon
charges a big clothesline at him, but the Iceman ducks out of the way, boots
him in the stomach, and sets up for the Icebreaker! Solomon, however, slips out, and sets up
Calysto for the Deep Freeze! Before he
can do it, Calysto slips out, reaches behind, and nails the Alaskan Monster with
a hard, swift
Icebreaker! Everyone is on their feet as
Calysto covers… one, two, th-and Solomon again
launches Calysto off him!
Cade: The strength of Solomon is
astounding!
Solomon is a bit slow to his
feet, but when he rises, Calysto is there waiting, nailing a second Icebreaker! He goes for the pin, but Walter Gindin jumps
onto the apron, distracting the official!
Calysto runs over and punches Gindin off the apron, prompting the fans
to cheer hard! Solomon then rises to his
feet and Calysto locks him down in the Crossface, right in the center of the
ring!
Cade: He’s got him! He’s got him!
Calysto locks the hold on
full-blast in the middle of the ring and all of
Cade: He just won’t tap! He’s been in the Crossface nearly a full
minute now!
Suddenly, Walter Gindin is back
on his feet, and back on the apron, trying to get into the ring. Referee Tom Stevens sees this and tries to
stop him, turning his attention away from the match. Then, Infernus, who hasn’t been seen since
Hellbent, storms down the aisle and into the ring, blasting Calysto in the
spine, forcing him to break the hold! Furious, Calysto gets up, chasing
Infernus. Infernus exits the ring and
stays on the apron, daring Calysto to come after him. He does, grabbing hold of him, but Infernus
grabs Calysto’s neck and snaps it down across the top rope! Meanwhile, Solomon rises to his feet, and
Gindin jumps down from the apron, while Infernus flees through the crowd. Calysto stumbles backward into Solomon, who
lifts him up and blasts him with a furious Deep Freeze, right in the center of
the ring! With the crowd still cheering
(though not as loudly as before), Solomon hooks the leg… one, two, three!
Cade: I don’t believe this! Jason Calysto had this match won! He had Solomon ready to tap and…
Cade: I guess we’ll never know. But the bottom line here is that Solomon is
STILL the PWA Champion, and there isn’t a damn thing that anyone can do about
it!
Ferrara: That’s absolutely right,
Nick. That’s absolutely right.
Cade: Well, that’s it for us. We’ll see you Tuesday night for
Frequency. Goodnight everybody!
Walter Gindin joins Solomon in
the ring for a celebration as “Hear Me” hits the speakers and the fans cheer
their favorite son. Gindin gives Solomon
his championship belt back and the two speak not a word to each other in this
reserved celebration, realizing exactly how fortunate they are to still hold
the PWA Championship, as the broadcast fades to black.
