PHILLIPS ARENA
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting events that occurred last week,
with Romeo defeating Anthony Failla -- thanks to help from Paul Ferrara -- to
earn a shot at Solomon’s PWA Championship tonight. From there,
Cade: Welcome to PWA Frequency! I’m Nick Cade, along here again tonight with
Rick Madsen, and tonight, we are live in
Madsen: That’s right Nick. Tonight, hometown hero Romeo returns to the
ATL to challenge Solomon for the World Heavyweight Championship. What a story it would be for Romeo to come
home and end the undefeated streak of the Alaskan Monster and leave the NEW PWA
Champion of the World.
Cade: It certainly would be a great story,
but Romeo is clearly NOT the favorite heading into the match. Speaking of people that aren’t favorites, our
broadcast colleague Paul Ferrara will return to the ring tonight, as he seeks
revenge on the dangerous Anthony Failla.
Madsen: I have no idea what’s gonna
happen there, but I certainly wish Paul the best.
Cade: Also tonight, we’ll see the
Japanese phenom Keiko Ishida take on the Women’s
Champion Camieko in a non-title match, Superstar Scott Hosemann and Darrin
Giles of the Legacy against Dynamite Dean Nash and Damien Fields, plus this
opening match! Let’s take you to Lee
Palmer at ringside and get this show on the road!
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1:
BISHOP CROSS VS. JUSTICE:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
Justice is the first to make his appearance when “Where Da Hood At” by DMX plays, and the
crowd greets him with a warm welcome. The former Progressive Champion raises
his arms high for the crowd before marching down the ramp and climbing into the
ring. Justice poses on all four turnbuckles, and the crowd grows louder for
each one.
Cade: Last week on Frequency, Bishop Cross issued an open challenge to anyone
in the locker room, and Justice is the one who answered the call.
Madsen: But why would anyone want to get into the ring with that man? Justice
may be a veteran, but I don’t think that even he can stand a chance against
Bishop Cross.
Suddenly, the houselights plunge the Phillips Arena into darkness. As the
opening notes to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” plays, the druids
pour out from the entranceway, each one carrying a torch. Justice looks on from
inside the ring as the druids line up, holding the torches high above their
heads. In mere moments, Bishop Cross trudges out from behind the curtain, and
the crowd watches as he slowly makes his way down to the ring. Cross climbs the
ring steps and raises the lights before climbing into the ring and shedding his
entrance attire. Justice does not look intimidated, and proves it by blasting
Cross with several rights and lefts!
Cade: Justice is taking it to Cross!
Madsen: Staying on your opponent is a smart strategy, and half the battle is
just getting the first advantage.
Cross is stunned by the attack, and Justice manages to back him into a corner.
This does not last though, as Cross explodes out of the corner with a
devastating clothesline that brings Justice flat on his back. The audience
cringes at the sight of this raw power. Cross refuses to ease up and grabs
Justice, lifting him back to his feet before driving him back into the mat with
a suplex. Cross looks for another suplex, but Justice battles back with a boot
to the gut, followed by a crunching DDT! With Cross on the mat, Justice applies
an armbar for good measure!
Cade: Cross is in trouble here!
Madsen: Justice is in control! He could take Cross here!
Justice releases the move and drags Cross back up to his feet. He whips Cross
into the ropes, then scoops him up on his return and plants him with a sidewalk
slam! The crowd cheers as Justice goes for the cover! One... Two... and Justice
backs off of Cross and approaches the ropes after seeing Mike Grieco walking
down to the ring. The International Champion looks up at Justice and they begin
to trade words.
Cade: What does he want out here?!
The crowd begins to boo at the sight of this, and Cross makes it back to his
feet. Before long, Justice leaves himself wide open and falls into Cross’
clutches as he destroys him with a disgusting STO. The jeering grows in volume
as Cross applies his Grand Finale scorpion death lock with Justice still on the
mat. With no where to turn to, Justice feverishly slaps the mat. The bell
sounds.
Cade: If Grieco didn’t show up, Justice
could have won this thing!
Madsen: Justice should’ve been paying attention to the match! That’s what cost
him!
“Phantom of the Opera” plays once more as Grieco walks back up the ramp with a
wide grin. Cross also leaves the ring shortly after, showing no emotion or
desire to celebrate his latest victory.

SEGMENT 3: BACKSTAGE:
Coming back from the commercial break, the camera focuses
on Kerry Cox as he wanders backstage and is caught up to by Mike Grieco and Dee
Licious.
Grieco: Kerry!
Cox: ...Oh, I’m sure answering won’t make my day any better...what?
Grieco: Did you just see the match out there?
Cox: Yeah, I did.
Grieco: Yeah, all these people coming after my belt should just leave me alone.
I think I already proved that I’m the greatest International Champion of all
time.
Cox: (Holds his head in disgust) Riiiight...sure I
see your point, and because of what happened, no one deserves a lone shot at
the championship. However, since you feel compelled to get involved in all
these matches, I have a solution.
Grieco: What’s that?
Cox: Our next big show is Revival, which happens in just over three weeks, and
whether or not you like it, you WILL be defending your belt at that
pay-per-view.
Cox: If you let me finish, I’ll tell you. It’s going to be Mike Grieco
against...Justice.
The crowd cheers as Grieco and Dee look at each other, seemingly worried.
Cox: Against Jon Dulberg.
They quickly look over at Cox in shock.
Cox: Against Steve Beovich, against Scott Hosemann, and against Showtime, in a six-man Elimination Match for the International Title!
Grieco: What?! You can’t do that!
Cox: I just did. Have a nice day.
Cox continues down the hall as Grieco and Dee boil with anger. The crowd is loving each and every moment of it.
SEGMENT 4: RINGSIDE:
Sevendust's "Black" plays over the PA
system, prompting a nice pop for Paul Dawkins as he makes his way down the
ramp. The former tag team champion is decked out in his normal street clothes,
comprised of jeans and a Philadelphia Eagles T-shirt as he grabs a
microphone.
Dawkins: Alright, I'm not even scheduled to be here
tonight, but Jackie, you need to hear this. Come on out here.
"Black" hits again and Baccaro makes his
entrance to a very mixed bag of cheers and boos. He steps inside the ring and
the music ends as Dawkins speaks once more.
Dawkins: Alright man listen. We
aren't supposed to be here tonight, but I had something to say and it has to be
said right here and now. Week after week, we're busting our asses together in
this ring as a team, but the minute something goes wrong, you throw a hissy fit and walk off on me. So what I'm out here to
do right now is give you a choice. You can either keep this thing going so
what we can do what we do best and rip this tag team division up again, or you
can just walk away and forget about the whole thing. But rest assured that I
won't take sole blame for our lack of success lately. We win as a team and we
lose as a team, so now Jackie, what's it gonna be?
Baccaro takes a long moment to ponder Dawkins’ proposal and then
looks out to the fans, which are shouting for several different things.
Madsen: What is he gonna do Nick?
Cade: I have no idea, but I know Paul Dawkins is right.
You win as a team and you lose as a team.
Dawkins extends his hand and several seconds later, Baccaro
reaches out and shakes it. The two then embrace to a huge roar of cheers from
the crowd as "Black" hits again.
Cade: Yes! Dawkins and Baccaro are back on the same page
here!
Baccaro raises Dawkins' arm high for all four sides off the arena
to cheer and both men soak up the accolades until Baccaro pulls Dawkins in
close and levels him with a huge forearm to the chin! Dawkins is absolutely
flattened by the blow and falls hard to the canvas before Baccaro unleashes a
series of boots about his head and shoulders!
Cade: What the hell is going on?!
Madsen: Jackie Baccaro has had enough! He is beating the
hell out of Paul Dawkins right now!
Baccaro shouts at Dawkins before leaving the ring, tossing the
timekeeper aside, grabbing his chair from under him and sliding back inside.
Dawkins gets to his knees to get up, but is immediately sent right back down
with a thunderous chair shot to the head!
Dawkins falls limp on the canvas and Baccaro rears the chair above
his head again before dropping it viciously on Dawkins' wide open face, which
is now covered with blood. Baccaro then tosses the chair down
and smirks to the crowd, which is now booing him passionately as he exits the
ring and heads back up the ramp. A group of trainers, officials and EMTs rush out with a stretcher and backboard to assist
Dawkins as we head to a commercial break.

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: DYNAMITE DEAN NASH & DAMIEN FIELDS VS.
SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN & DARRIN GILES:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
We return to the ring, where Earshot's "Control" is
playing The Legacy to the ring. Superstar Scott Hosemann and Progressive
Champion Darrin Giles are in the ring for their match, while Justin
Schenck and The Naturals stand outside the squared circle. The Prodigy's
"Spitfire" hits next, prompting a wave of cheers a
"Dynamite" Dean Nash and Damien Fields make their way down to the
squared circle.
Cade: I don't want to ignore this match at all, but I
just cannot believe what we have just witnessed out here between Jackie Baccaro
and Paul Dawkins.
Madsen: Talk about uncomfortable moments. I'm sure we'll
get an update on the condition of Paul Dawkins later tonight, but in the
meantime, we've got a job to do, so let's get right to it here. If Nash and
Fields win this matchup, they will receive a crack at
The Naturals' Tag Team Titles next week on Frequency.
The bell sounds with Nash facing off against Hosemann. Hosemann
grabs a quick side headlock that Nash fights off by sending him into the ropes.
Hosemann takes Nash down with a shoulder block, but he runs the ropes again to
only get a Nash dropkick for his troubles. Nash covers for a quick two count
that Hosemann easily powers out of.
Both men get to their feet, but Hosemann takes over with a kick to
the gut and a huge knee lift that rocks Nash's head back. A tag to Giles
follows up, and The Progressive Champion shows his mean streak with an overt
chokehold that is broken up by Soares' count of four. Giles twists Nash's arm
before locking in a tight arm wrench that has him wincing in pain.
The crowd urges Nash on and he responds by grabbing the ropes to
flip backwards out of the wrench and take Giles down with a clothesline! He
tags in Fields, who sends Giles back to the mat before he knocks Hosemann down
off the ring apron! Kris Anthony jumps up onto the ring apron to bait Fields
for a Giles attack, but Fields senses him coming and Giles stops short, nearly
hitting his partner!
The brush with disaster goes away, but Giles turns around to be
greeted with a big Diamond Cutter from Fields! Fields goes for a cover, but
Soares doesn't count as he sees Nash get nailed from behind by a steel chair,
courtesy of Speed Demon!
Cade: The Lost Souls are here!
Madsen: What do they want?!
Cade: They're going after Nash and Fields here!
Nash falls from the ring apron and Fields gets off the cover to
swing at Demon, but Speed Demon sidesteps it and that leaves Fields wide open
for a thunderous shot to the head from Reaper! The bell sounds repeatedly as
The Legacy floods the ring to pick away what is left of Damien Fields.
They are all having a good time until The Lost Souls turn their weapons on them
as well, laying out all five members of The Legacy, including The Tag Team
Champions, the Naturals.
Palmer: Here are your winners via disqualification,
"Dynamite" Dean Nash and Damien Fields!
Cade: Nash and Fields get a title match next week, but
what shape will they be in thanks to The Lost Souls?!
Madsen: What shape will the champs be in too?!
Cade: Who knows? We'll be right back!

SEGMENT 6: BACKSTAGE:
The door to Cox’s office swings open and the Lost Souls storm into
the room. Cox looks up from his seat, disturbed by this intrusion.
Reaper: We’ll make this short. We want a shot at the tag titles.
Cox: I’m going to enjoy this. I can’t give you guys a shot at the titles for
two reasons. One, even though it was a disqualification, Nash and Fields won
that match and have now earned a title shot next week on Frequency.
Demon: Screw Frequency! We want a shot for the titles at Revival!
Cox: And if you would let me get to reason two, you would find out that since
they are within the thirty days of title defenses, Justin Schenck has the
power, as their manager, to decide who they take and don’t take title matches
against. Now, as hard as it may sound, I have actually tried to put a match
between the Naturals and the Lost Souls together, but Schenck wants no part of
it. The only alternatives for you two to get a shot at the title are to
convince Schenck to schedule a defense against you, or if the Naturals drop the
titles to Nash and Fields next Tuesday. Otherwise, I can’t help you.
Demon and Reaper look over at each other and stomp out of the room, leaving
Cox to go back to his work.
SEGMENT 7: 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. The face of the Progressive Wrestling Alliance is about to change. I
stand on my own two now, without loser bodyguards and partners, and
now I 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 Enimem plays as he walks of the screen and a
golden-lettered Renegade logo appears in his place.

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 3: ANTHONY FAILLA VS. PAUL
Referee:
Matt Hansen
Back at ringside, "Murder was the Case" by Snoop Dogg hits and the dangerous Anthony Failla makes his way to
the ring, led by a chorus of raucous boos. Failla looks bent on
destruction as he enters the squared circle, looking to make a statement.
As Failla stretches himself out on the ring ropes, White Town's "Your
Woman" hits the speakers and the fans begin cheering loudly as PWA color commentator
and former CAW superstar Paul Ferrara makes his way to the ring, in his
wrestling gear for the first time since June, and only the second time since
CAW folded.
Cade: Listen to this response for
our broadcast colleague Paul Ferrara!
Madsen: These fans really do love him! And, provided he doesn't get
seriously injured here tonight,
Cade: That would be great to see, but I have a feeling that's the last
thing
Cade:
Madsen: Screw that, he's winning!
Cade: He's going for the flying shoulder tackle!
Madsen: And if you know anything about Paul
Ferrara, when he hits one of these, there are usually three or four right
behind it!
As Failla gets up,
Cade: This match has taken a turn
for the worse.
Madsen: Yes. And fast.
As
Cade: Well, Paul Ferrara gave that
a great effort.
Madsen: My God Cade, Failla's not done.
Failla quickly shoves Hansen to the ground before going outside the ring
and grabbing the bell. He then props
