COW PALACE

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA



SEGMENT 8:  MATCH 3:  LIZ RUSH VS. KEIKO ISHIDA:
Referee:  Dan Martin

Back at ringside, "Thick Skin" by Joydrop hits and Liz Rush makes her way to the ring to a nice reaction from the San Francisco crowd.  As she comes down the aisle, the camera pans to the ring, where a raven-haired Japanese woman named Keiko Ishida is standing in the ring, awaiting her opportunity as Rush's opposition.

Cade:  Rick, what do you know about Keiko Ishida?

Madsen:  Not too much, Nick, other than that she's been a dominant female grappler in
Japan, and is a recent PWA signee.  Her first match here, against a woman the caliber of Liz Rush, should be a huge test.

Rush enters the ring and stares across from Ishida as the bell sounds.  Liz and Keiko lock up in the center of the ring, and Rush gets the better of it, grabbing Ishida in a side headlock.  However, Ishida shoves out of it, sending Liz against the ropes, and destroys her with a monstrous spinebuster as she returns!  Liz is slow to her feet, but when she rises, Ishida hits her with a running spinning neckbreaker!

Liz Rush tries to make it to her feet but can't, so Keiko helps her up.  Ishida then whips Rush hard into the corner, so hard that Liz smashes chest-first into the buckle!  Liz stumbles backward and Ishida, with a running start, drives her down with a sick-looking STO, smashing Rush's head into the mat!

Cade:  Oh my God!

Madsen:  Nick, I think she's out!


With little effort, Ishida covers Rush... one, two, three.  The crowd at the
Cow Palace is silent as "Samurai" by Juno Reactor hits and Keiko Ishida kneels in the ring, a twisted smile on her face.

Cade:  Rick, Keiko Ishida just totally manhandled Liz Rush!


Madsen:  Nick, I have a feeling we might have just seen the birth of a new age in women's wrestling.
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 2:43:  KEIKO ISHIDA

SEGMENT 9:  JUMBOTRON:
The focus shifts to the Jumbotron, where the screen is black until the man known widely as Renegade walks quietly into the picture.

 

Renegade: It's been a long time since many have seen me. In fact, most people don't even realize that I've been gone from the PWA for almost a year. But that's all about to change because I'm on my way back to the PWA, except things will be different this time. This time around, I won't need to bring in bumbling idiots and moronic bodyguards with names softer than the mysteriously lisped voices here in “fabulous” San Francisco. Gee, I wonder what that's a sign of. The face of the Progressive Wrestling Alliance is about to change. I stand on my own two now and look out for me, myself and I. So PWA fans, get ready, because I'm a guy that will say anything, do anything, and take anything in order to take what I want. After all, I am....a Renegade.

 

An instrumental of "Renegade" by Jay-Z and Eminem plays as he walks of the screen and a golden-lettered Renegade logo appears in his place.


SEGMENT 10:  MATCH 4:  BISHOP CROSS VS. MISTA JONES:
Referee:  Matt Hansen

We return to ringside, where Matt Hansen stands alongside Mista Jones in the ring. The popular upstart looks focused and excited for his Frequency television debut, but that look is washed away by darkness as the arena lights shut off. Ten cloaked druids line the ramp, each holding a flaming torch above their heads as Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of The Opera Overture" begins and the mysterious Bishop Cross, who is also making his Frequency wrestling debut, steps out. Few people in the crowd boo, but most just stand in awesome silence as Cross slowly marches down the ramp and stops at the ring steps. The lights come back up as he climbs up the steps and into the ring.

 

Cade: This guy just freaks me out.

 

Madsen: I can easily second that.

 

The music stops and Cross carries a cold stare towards Jones, who looks a bit pensive as Hansen calls for the bell. Cross steps out slowly and Jones springs into action, stinging him with hard rights and lefts. He backs Cross into a corner with the blows and Irish whips him across the ring to the opposite end, but Cross bursts out of the corner and explodes on Jones with a clothesline!

 

Jones then gets peeled from the canvas and rushes into a corner, where Cross reels off 5 straight shoulder thrusts to the gut. Jones staggers forward holding his ribs, leaving him wide open for Cross to hit the ropes and jump up to drive him down with a DDT that actually bounces him off the mat! Cross covers for one...two....and picks Jones off the mat, prompting the crowd to boo as he goes to inflict more punishment.

 

Cade: He might have just broken Mista Jones' neck and this guy isn't done?!

 

Madsen: Matt should really think about stopping this match about now.

 

Cross effortlessly lifts Jones over his shoulder and drive him back-first into the turnbuckles upside-down before tossing him up on the top turnbuckle facing the crowd. Jones is out of it in a big way, but Cross shows no remorse as he scoops him from under his arms into a Splash Mountain position and drives him down flat on the mat!

 

In one fluid motion, Cross grabs Jones by the legs and locks him in The Grand Finale. Jones puts up absolutely no fight in the modified Scorpion Death Lock and Hansen raises his arm once, then twice, then three times before counting out the unconscious upstart.

 

Cade: Thank God it's over. Somebody get Mista Jones some help ASAP out here.

 

Madsen: This man Bishop Cross has put Scythe out, Damien Fields out, and it looks like Mista Jones has suffered the same fate. I wouldn't wanna be next on his list.

 

"Phantom of The Opera Overture" plays again as Cross whisks himself out of the ring and up the ramp, not focused on anything in particular and seemingly unmoved by his destructive victory this evening.  

WINNER VIA SUBMISSION AT 4:17:  BISHOP CROSS
 

 

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #7 --
 

SEGMENT 11:  BACKSTAGE:
 A camera heads backstage to a dressing room, where The Hot Boy$ are preparing for their match alongside Camieko.

 

Jaguar: I love these elimination matches man. Nothing like picking off an entire team to get a win that'll leave them with no excuses.

 

Romeo: True. You know something bro? Ever since our girl here won the Women's Title last week, I've been thinking that I don't want her to be the only one around here with some gold.

 

Jaguar: Well you know The Naturals are no sweat to us if you wanna take home tag title number 9.

 

Romeo: No, not that. I think its time I step further up and get to that World Heavyweight Championship.

 

Jaguar: Oh yeah?

 

Romeo: Yeah.

 

Jaguar: (Slaps him on the back) Well it's about damn time cuz! Listen, I know that's been the goal since day one. If it's not, you'd be wasting your time. You just haven't gotten the same breaks that a few other guys around here might have. So if you wanna go higher, you know what you need to do. Go out there in this match and show the world something. Leave them no other choice but to give you your due cuz. But realize that all of us in this locker room want it too.

 

Romeo: No problem.

 

A knock at the door precedes GI Jew and Jason Calysto entering the room.

 

Jew: You two are always last to everything. You guys ready yet?

 

Jaguar: (Tossing a t-shirt in his face) As ready as it gets junior. Let's ride.

 

All four men and Camieko head out the door in a determined walk towards the ring as we take the final commercial break.

 


-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #8 --
 

SEGMENT 12:  MATCH 4:  8-MAN ELIMINATION MATCH:
PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SOLOMON, ANTHONY FAILLA, INFERNUS & JONATHAN BRETT VS.
THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO, THE HOT BOY$ & GI JEW:
Referee:  Tom Stevens

Lee Palmer climbs back into the ring, ready to announce the match rules and participants as the crowd buzzes with excitement.

 

Palmer: The following contest is our main event and it is an 8-man elimination tag team match! The rules are as follows. Eliminations can only be issued due to pinfalls, submissions, disqualifications or count-outs and a team can only win once all four members of the opposing team have been eliminated! Now onto the participants. First, from Queens, New York, weighing 281 pounds, Anthony Failla!

 

Snoop Dogg's "Murder Was The Case" begins and the crowd immediately begins to boo passionately as Failla slowly makes his way to the ring.

 

Cade: This crowd is giving Failla the reaction he deserves tonight!

 

Madsen: I don't even think he deserves this much. He needs to be locked up.

 

Cade: Don't get me wrong, calling the action on Frequency is not a bad thing for either of us. But after what this man has done to Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara, we don't want to do it this way. This guy is insane!

 

Madsen: Let's just hope he keeps that insanity in the ring tonight.

 

As he climbs over the top rope to get into the ring, "Smash Sumthin" by Redman and Adam F. takes over.

 

Palmer: From Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 195 pounds, Innnn-fernus!

 

Another loud series of boos comes for Infernus, who made his return to action in a controversial fashion at Fallen Souls.

 

Madsen: I know that Jason Calysto cannot wait to get his hands on Infernus tonight. He had Solomon in the Crossface and the champ wasn't going anywhere at all when Infernus ran down there and cost The Iceman his chance to become a three-time champion.

 

Cade: Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

Madsen: I know.

 

As Infernus climbs into the ring, Nine Inch Nails' "Quake 1" begins.

 

Palmer: Being accompanied to the ring by Mike Troha, from Long Island, New York, weighing 274 pounds, Jonathan Brett!

 

Brett and Troha get their usual negative reaction from the fans, but ignore them as the big man steps into the ring. He glares at Failla and nods to his former tag team partner Infernus as the house lights go down and Darkseed's  "Hear Me" begins.

 

Palmer: And being accompanied to the ring by Walter Gindin, from Barrow, Alaska, weighing 300 pounds, he is the undefeated, undisputed, PWA Heavyweight Champion of the Worrrld, The Alaskan Monster, Sollll-o-monnnn!

 

Solomon and Gindin march out to nearly deafening boos, but the champion looks ready to lead his team as he steps over the top rope and hands his belt to Tom Stevens. The senior official puts it away as Oasis' "F*ckin In The Bushes" blasts through the speakers and the crowd goes wild!

 

Palmer: Introducing their opponents, first, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing 221 pounds, The Iceman, Jasonnnn Caaaaalystooo!

 

Cade: What an ovation for The Iceman!

 

Madsen: He should be the World Champion right now and Solomon, Infernus and Gindin know it.

 

Calysto looks ready as always to wrestle, but he does the smart thing and waits for his partners to join him as "We On Fire" begins.

 

Palmer: Being accompanied to the ring by the PWA Women's Champion Camieko, from Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida, respectively, at a total combined weight of 510 pounds, Romeo and Jaguar, The Hot Boy$! 

 

The Hot Boy$ emerge to the same reaction Calysto did and each shed their leather jackets in preparation for battle as Slipknot's "Opium of The People" takes over.

 

Palmer: And from Queens, New York, weighing 234 pounds, he is G....I....Jewww!

 

The Cow Palace is nearly shaking as GI Jew rides out onto the entrance ramp. With all eyes on him, Calysto and The Hot Boy$ flood the ring early to attack their opponents. Jew quickly speeds around the ring before coming to a halt and climbing off his bike. Instead of his usual ring attire, Jew is sporting an old, beaten up New York Rangers T-shirt and blue jeans, and he wastes no time in Goring Failla right through the ropes and out of the ring!

 

The bell sounds with all eight men brawling. Calysto and Infernus are battling, while Romeo slugs it out with Brett and Solomon pounds away on Jaguar. Jew and Failla are picking up right from where they left off at Fallen Souls, brawling recklessly on the arena floor.  

 

Madsen: This one is already out of control!

 

Cade: Guys are brawling everywhere! Did the bell even ring?!

 

Solomon tries to send Jaguar out of the ring with a big boot to the face, but Jag ducks it and Solomon is straddled on the top rope. Wincing in pain, Solomon is quickly sent to the arena floor himself with a jumping side kick. Infernus turns the tide on Calysto and chokes him with his boot in a corner, but outside the ring, fans watch in astonishment as GI Jew knocks Failla down and then cracks him over the cranium with a steel chair from the timekeeper!

 

Stevens immediately calls for help and a bunch of officials storm to ringside as the senior official disqualifies GI Jew. The enraged former PWA Champion bashes Failla over and over, releasing the flood gates for the blood in his head. Jew is swarmed by security and whisked away with a big fight, but he leaves Failla bleeding on the arena floor with no one willing to go close enough to check on him.

 

Cade: GI Jew has just left Failla a bloody mess!

 

Madsen: You can see from the way GI Jew was dressed that he didn't come here to wrestle, he came to San Francisco for a fight, and I don't think he's close to even with Failla yet!

 

Cade: Well let's get back to the action inside the ring. We have already taken our final commercial break, so we aren't going anywhere folks.

 

The action is finally underway legally in the ring, with Calysto going to work on Brett, stinging him with hard chops to the chest. He tries to whip Brett into the ropes and does, but he doesn't catch Solomon make a blind tag. The champion rushes into the ring and Calysto tries a spinning heel kick, but Brett ducks under and Calysto's boot meets the head of Solomon!

 

Brett turns around, but a Calysto mafia kick sends him out of the ring to the arena floor. The Iceman then heads up to the top rope, looking to capitalize on a rising Solomon with The Bottom Line, but Infernus grabs his boot and shakes him, causing Calysto to fall right into the arms of Solomon, who devastates The Iceman with The Deep Freeze! The champion covers for one...two...three!

 

Madsen: Calysto is gone!

 

Cade: Thanks to Infernus again!

 

Calysto is rolled out of the ring as Romeo shows the initiative to climb in a bum rush Solomon back into a corner. Da Playboi pounds him with several rights and lefts and Solomon cannot cover up fast enough. With the crowd roaring, Romeo beats Solomon down into a corner, furthering their already rabid cheers! Stevens breaks it up a little bit, giving Solomon some breathing room. Romeo shoves him aside to continue the attack, but Solomon quickly lifts him up and drops him face-first with a snake eyes on the top turnbuckle.

 

The champion finds the outstretched hand of Infernus and tags it, bringing him in to face his former heated enemy. The camera catches Failla, now spilling even more blood outside the ring with no one coming to his aid, and perhaps rightfully so. Infernus kicks Romeo hard in the midsection before scooping him up and bodyslamming him to the canvas.

 

Infernus heads up to the middle rope for his Ho Down DDT, but when he jumps off, he lands right in the clutches of Romeo, who drives him down with his own momentum in a hard sidewalk slam! Romeo gets to his feet and tags Jaguar, who immediately heads up to the top rope. Solomon, Brett, Gindin and Troha all end up on the arena floor trying to calm Failla, who is swinging wildly due to the blood in his eyes. In the meantime, Jaguar nails Infernus with The Heatwave and pins him to make it a 3-on-2 deficit!

 

Cade: For the second time in two matches, The Hot Boy$ have hit The Heatwave while nobody was looking!

 

Madsen: Well we were looking, but it's still 3 on 2.

 

Jaguar waits for opposition and he gets it once Failla breaks through his own team and rolls into the ring. Onlookers are stunned, but Jaguar shows no fear whatsoever as he spears Failla to the mat and wails on him with huge, taped right fists. Stevens calls for a break and Jaguar gives it before tagging Romeo back in.

 

Romeo re-enters the ring, but gets tripped up by Troha's crutch and falls. Stevens admonishes The Miracle, but that gives Failla ample time to hoist Romeo up and drill him with perhaps the quickest Almighty Sacrifice ever done! Before he can even think about a cover, Failla pops his head up as GI Jew blazes back down the ramp, flanked by a hoard of security again!

 

Cade: GI Jew is going after Failla again!

 

Madsen: Can nothing keep these two apart?!

 

Failla pokes his head through the ropes to swipe at GI Jew, giving Romeo enough time to creep up from behind and pull him down by the trunks in a rollup! Stevens gets back into position and counts one...two...three!

 

Cade: It's 2-2- now! The Hot Boy$ are coming back!

 

Madsen: But Failla is going after GI Jew now! It's like The Pacers and Pistons all over again!

 

Failla and Jew continue their skirmish on the ramp as an army of officials struggle to keep them separated. Romeo tags out to Jaguar as Brett climbs back into the ring. Jaguar immediately tags Brett with an array of right hands that back him up towards his corner. Solomon quietly tags his back as Brett comes out of the corner and walks right into a Carrjack!

 

Cade: Carrjack! The Hot Boy$ can pick off another man here!

 

Madsen: Wait! I think Solomon is the legal man!

 

Jaguar gets up to go for a cover, but he is spun around and in one swift motion, drilled with a Deep Freeze from Solomon! Before a tired Romeo can lift his head up, Solomon vanquishes his partner with a three count, leaving him all alone against his most heated rivals and the most dominant man in the sport today.

 

Cade: Oh no. Romeo is in trouble now. He's got both Solomon and Brett, with no one to tag!

 

Jaguar is helped out of the ring as both Solomon and Brett begin to corner Romeo. With nowhere to turn, Da Playboi bursts from the corner to tag Solomon with a heavy right hand, but that leaves him open for Brett to deliver a stiff punch to his kidney region. At the joint urging of Gindin and Troha, Brett and Solomon commence a full scale 2-on-1 assault on Romeo, punishing him viciously with punches and hard stomps.

 

Cade: C'mon Tom, break this up! Get one of them outta there!

 

Madsen: They're just going to beat the hell out of Romeo now, they don't care.

 

Completely ignoring the official's warnings, Brett holds Romeo's arms behind his back to allow Solomon to tear up his insides with huge rights and lefts. Stevens tries to hold Solomon back, but the champion swats him away before connecting with a right hand to the midsection. Stevens gets up and tries again, this time getting the same treatment from Solomon, who just shoves him down to the canvas to further his attack on Romeo. Stevens gets up fuming and instantly calls for a disqualification of Solomon!

 

Cade: He's just disqualified Solomon!

 

Madsen: Good! You can't hit the ref like that!

 

Solomon yells at the official, who asserts his authority by demanding that Solomon make his exit. Gindin makes his client concede his argument, but not before Solomon slaps Brett in the chest and yells for him to put Romeo away. As Solomon and Gindin leave the arena, Brett drags Romeo off the canvas and muscles him back into a corner, where he further damages his midsection with hard shoulder thrusts to the gut. Brett then grabs Romeo by the arm and slings him into the opposite corner so hard that Romeo's momentum plants him down face-first on the mat again. With Romeo down and out, Brett takes his time to taunt the crowd, which boos him as they try to bring Romeo back into this match.

 

Madsen: It looks like this one is just about over Nick.

 

Cade: Romeo is just about done at this point, and after he beat Brett in the steel cage a few weeks ago, you know Brett won't have any problems in putting him away tonight.

 

Troha smiles a wide grin as brett picks a lifeless Romeo off the canvas. He puts Romeo onto his shoulders for The Samoan Driver and swings him around to try to hit the move. Romeo's boots nearly clock Tom Stevens in the face, but the ref ducks away in the nick of time. Romeo stops his momentum in mid-air and lands on his feet, but with Stevens' attention diverted, he connects with a knee right to Brett's groin!

 

Madsen: Low blow from Romeo, but the ref didn't see it!

 

Brett doubles over in pain, but Romeo quickly gets him into position for the Dre Day Powerbomb. He moves his black bandana before lifting Brett high into the air and spiking him down with thunderous impact! Romeo falls atop Brett as Stevens gets into position and counts 1------2------3!

 

Madsen: Romeo wins!

 

Cade: Romeo never had a single advantage in this matchup, but he battled all the odds and has won this match for his team! Talk about making a statement!

 

Romeo is announced as the sole survivor and makes his way back up the ramp exhausted and victorious as B.G. "Hottest Of The Hot" remix takes him out. The fans graciously applaud his efforts as he ducks behind the curtain, leaving Brett laying and Troha irate yet again as the cameras fade to black.
