BANCORPSOUTH CENTER

TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI

SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:

A video package airs, highlighting events that occurred last week, with Bishop Cross pinning Romeo after a miscue between Romeo and Jaguar in a ten-man tag team main event. Romeo is showing looking up angrily at Jaguar as the video fades.  From there, Linkin Park's "By_Myslf" hits and we are sent inside the Bancorpsouth Center in Tupelo, Mississippi, where an amazing fireworks display ensues and we are sent to our commentators for the night, Nick Cade and Rick Madsen.

Cade:  Welcome to PWA Frequency!  I’m Nick Cade, along with Rick Madsen and…

Suddenly, the music breaks and White Town’s “Your Woman” hits, prompting the crowd to cheer as Paul Ferrara, wearing a Santa hat, makes his way through the curtain.

Cade: And there he is! Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome Paul Ferrara back to the broadcast booth!

Madsen: And a well-deserved response from this crowd!

Ferrara then approaches the table and dons the headset.

Cade: Welcome back, Paul.

Ferrara: It’s good to be back, Nick, especially here tonight, for our holiday show. How are you, Rick?

Madsen: I’m doing well, Paul. Doing well.

Ferrara: Good to hear. I’m psyched to be back on commentary tonight, and while working with you guys tonight will be great, I really can’t wait to see Victor Troy back at the booth.

Cade: Believe me Paul, we’re all feeling the same way. However, Vic won’t be back until Revival, so for the next two episodes of Frequency, it’s the three of us.

Ferrara: Sounds good to me.

Madsen: Me too.

Cade: Alright ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get started with this special holiday edition of Frequency! We’ve got a big six-man tag team match, pitting Mike Griffin, Infernus and Jackie Baccaro against Jason Calysto, Greg Tantalus and Paul Dawkins, plus much more! Let’s send it down to Lee Palmer!

SEGMENT 2: RINGSIDE:

Palmer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the commissioner of the PWA, Kerry Cox!

The fans cheer loudly as “War Machine” by KISS takes over the speakers and the commish makes his way to the ring. Cox has a smile on his face and a mic in his hand as he merrily steps into the ring. As the cheers begin to slowly dwindle, Cox begins to speak.

Cox: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the holiday edition of PWA Frequency! Happy holidays! You know, I came out here tonight to spread some holiday cheer, to wish everyone a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a happy Kwanzaa, or whatever holiday which you celebrate. I want to make sure that all of you are having a good time and aren’t regretting spending your hard-earned money to come out to a PWA show. Tonight is our way of giving thanks to all of you, to lightening up a bit and just having some fun with all of you, and enjoying the holiday season. With that said, there has been one certain superstar in the PWA locker room that has made it a bit of a habit to have a ton of fun at this holiday show. To remind you all of what I’m talking about, let’s roll the footage from our special episode of Frequency on Christmas Eve 2002:

 "Here Comes Santa Claus" begins inexplicably over the PA system, but somewhere in between the fans' confusion and laughter, a huge roar from the crowd greets the arrival of Norm The Pizzaman, badly disguised as Santa Claus! Norm, er...Santa climbs into the ring with a big red sack and grabs a microphone.

Santa Norm: Ho! Ho! Ho! Meeeeerrrrryyyyy Christmas! Have all you little boys and girls been good this year? I thought so. So with the help of a few of my little elves here, I'm going to bring Christmas to you kids here in Las Vegas--a few hours earlier! Music man, if you will hit my music please!

"Here Comes Santa Claus" replays and this draws an enormous pop from the capacity crowd as five midgets dressed in green with pointy hats begin to unload T-shirts and other gifts from Santa Norm's sack and blast them into the crowd with confetti guns and slingshots. The sack is still half full when Metallica's "Don't Tread On Me" begins. A collective gasp comes over the crowd as GI Jew stalks toward the ring, carrying a thin red, white and blue sack and perhaps the angriest look ever. The elves dart from the ring and crowd next to the announcers as GI Jew grabs a microphone.

Jew: Alright, I have had enough of this shit! Santa Norm.... is this supposed to be fun? Is this supposed to make every one of these jackasses happy? How can you cheer this man while he disrespects the most important holiday of the year?

Santa Norm: Well, GI Jew, I was just trying to spread a little Christmas cheer. I don't think I was disrespecting anybody.

Jew: Did I tell you to speak prick?!?! I don't give a shit about Christmas, I was talking about Hanukkah you dumbass! This little show you put on has disrespected every Jewish person here in this crowd, namely me. My manager and my agent are already in L.A. meeting with some lawyers about my contract for my match this Sunday. And you have the balls to disrespect me with no one here to stop me from killing you?

Santa Norm: It’s not like that at all. I was just---

GI Jew folds Norm up with a massive clothesline as the fans gasp in horror. Jew then mounts Norm and proceeds to turn his face into hamburger with repetitive punches, until a big pop comes for the five elves, who jump on top of GI Jew to try to stop him. This proves to be a huge mistake, as Jew shows no mercy on the elves by clotheslining them all down at once! While all six men writhe on the mat in pain, GI Jew tosses one elf over the top rope and onto the arena floor! Another elf is bounced off the middle rope and Gored to the mat! A third elf is gorilla pressed into the crowd! Jew decides what to do with the fourth elf, and he grabs him by the legs before spinning him airplane-style before chucking him into the front row! Only one elf and Santa Norm remain on the mat as GI Jew reaches into his own sack and pulls out a red, white, and blue baseball bat!

GI Jew props the final elf in between the top and middle ropes with his back facing the ring and him looking at the Frequency entryway for help. Help cannot come soon enough as GI Jew blasts him in the back with the bat! Before a riot ensues, Santa Norm gets up and clubs GI Jew from behind! Norm is tearing into the first Progressive Champion with hard right hands before whipping him to the ropes and being obliterated with a Gore on GI Jew's return! Norm lays flat on his back as an incensed GI Jew hold the bat high and crashes it into his rib cage! Blood begins to seep from the mouth of Santa Norm as GI Jew rolls him onto his stomach and completely splinters the bat over his kidneys! GI Jew picks up the microphone again as he fans drown him in jeers and even death threats.

Jew: Happy Hanukkah, pussy.

"Don't Tread On Me" begins again as GI Jew slowly walks back up the ramp. Fans have completely lost it at this point as several pelt him with bottles, cups, etc., and security struggles to keep some in their seats. The camera shows several parents shielding the eyes of their young as stretchers fly down the ramp to help the victims.

Cox: Do you think that was something? Well, check out how he followed that up last year, in Philadelphia:

The shot cuts back to the ring, where Temple mascots Hooter and Hooter, Jr. are hamming it up with the crowd. Hooter plays to the crowd in his Santa suit as the normally dressed Hooter, Jr. shoots T-shirts into the crowd. Hooter gets into the ring and the crowd laughs as a brief tussle ensues between the two and Hooter takes the gun from the smaller mascot.

Ferrara: You think that's Gindin in that suit?

Troy: It could be. He would still be running from GI Jew unless he was disguised.

Junior gets shoved down to the mat and the crowd boos as Hooter takes over the gun. However, he can't figure out how to use it properly and the crowd shows their disdain for the beloved Temple figure.

Troy: I'll tell you what, Hooter sure is acting like a bully right here.

Ferrara: It’s just the mascots having some fun.

Junior tries to show how the gun is used, but Hooter once again shoves the younger version down to the canvas. The crowd is completely against Hooter now and begins to chant "Gin-din! Gin-din!" at the mascot. Hooter makes motions to quiet the crowd as Hooter, Jr. tries to pick himself up.

Troy: Look at him tellng the crowd to shush, that's gotta be Gindin!

Ferrara: Look at Hooter, Jr. now though. What the hell is he doing?

Junior uses the ropes to get to one knee and the man underneath the costume pulls the hat-covered head off the mascot, revealing himself to be GI Jew! The crowd cheers wildly and Hooter continues to ham it up, not knowing what's behind him. Hooter turns around and GI Jew rushes forth and nails him with a Gore that sends the mascot's head flying over the top rope! The camera closes in one the face, and underneath the costume is Walter Gindin!

Troy: It was Gindin!

Ferrara: And GI Jew dressed up as Hooter, Jr!

Gindin rolls around on the mat, struggling for air as Jew grabs a chair from ringisde. Gindin gets to his feet, only to be obliterated by another Gore to the chest! Jew folds the chair into a flat position and places it on the mat before signaling for the Magnum Driver.

Troy: Those Gores aren't at full effect because of that suit he has on, but a Magnum Driver here would definitely be.

Ferrara: His head is the only part he's got uncovered! Don't do it!

Jew gets Hooter up and rips the Santa suit in half before bending him in a pumphandle and spiking Gindin's head on the steel! The crowd cheers rabidly until Solomon rushes down the ramp and slides into the ring, but he's seconds late as Jew hops out and grabs the mic.

Jew: I told you I'd take you out Walter! So just like I told Santa Norm last year....Happy Hanukkah...(with crowd) pussy!

"Refuse/Resist" hits again and Jew exits through the raucous crowd as Solomon throws a fit in the ring.

Troy: GI Jew said he'd knock off Gindin Paul, and he sure took out his plan!

Ferrara: Walter is out too! There's no way he'll make Revival after a hit like that! GI Jew is a smart guy Troy. He outsmarted Gindin tonight and I'm sure he'll try to do the same to Solomon at Revival.  

Cox: As you can see, GI Jew and these holiday shows just simply go hand in hand. Which is why, tonight, I’m going to make that even more apparent. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, in this very ring, GI Jew will not be in a humorous segment, but he will be in action. And he will be in action against the Alaskan Monster Solomon… with the PWA Championship on the line! Enjoy the show!

The fans cheer loudly as “War Machine” hits and Cox exits the ring.

Cade: My God! It’s Solomon vs. Jew for the championship, tonight!

Ferrara: That’s huge!

Madsen: Stay with us, we’ll be right back!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #1 --

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 1: DEAN NASH VS. KRIS ANTHONY VS. SPEED DEMON:
Referee: Jason Church

The action is set to get under way once "A Violent Reaction" by American Head Charge begins to play. Boos begin to flood the air as Speed Demon steps out, suprisingly alone for the first time in quite a few weeks.

Cade: Speed Demon is out here alone tonight? I'm kinda shocked at that, I saw Reaper in the building earlier on.

Ferrara: As did I, but Commissioner Cox has banned all partners from ringside for this match. They'll have their chance to get it on at Revival.

Madsen: Good move. I know the referee must be relieved.

Earshot's "Control" plays next, and the boos grow even stronger as Kris Anthony makes his way down to the ring, led by Justin Schenck.

Cade: Now wait a minute here. What is Justin doing out here then?

Ferrara: He's got a manager's license, so he is legit and that's the advantage The Legacy has.

Madsen: I've got a feeling he isn't just here for the scenery though.

Cade: Tell me about it.

The Prodigy's "Spitfire" plays last and the fans finally have something to cheer as Dynamite Dean Nash makes his way down to the squared circle. He removes his newly won Tag Team Championship belt and rolls into the ring, where Speed Demon and Anthony pounce on him.

The bell rings and the two men beat Nash down into the ground before quickly turning their fury against one another. Demon takes over with a knee to the midsection and sends Anthony down with a big left hand. He turns his attention back to Nash, who is waiting on him with a huge dropkick! Nash covers for one...two...and Demon barely kicks out just as Anthony yanks Nash off.

The Natural drops an elbow to the back of Nash's head before turning to go up to the middle rope. Looking to drop a fist on Nash, Anthony dives off, but right into a big tackle from Speed Demon!

Ferrara: What a collision that was!

Nash shakes off the cobwebs to go after Speed Demon, but the former tag champion finds a way to blast the current tag champion with The Demonizer! Demon goes for a cover, but he is quickly yanked out by Schenck!

Cade: What?! Justin just pulled Speed Demon out!

Madsen: And now he's taking off!

Schenck quickly hurries up the ramp as Anthony crawls over into a pin attempt on Nash. Church makes the count for one...two...three! "Control" hits again, prompting an angry Speed Demon to charge back down the ramp to chase Anthony out.

Ferrara: Kris Anthony steals a win and now he's high-tailing it outta here!

Madsen: Wait, look what's waiting on him!

With the match over, nothing is stopping Reaper from barreling down the ramp and forcing Anthony back into the ring. The Lost Souls begin a malicious beatdown on The Natural, prompting Greg Price to join the fray. Within moments, Damien Fields rushes down the ramp, swinging his first championship belt in the direction of anything that moves until Nash is helped to his feet. Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" hits as both teams take off up the ramp, making sure to threaten the Tag Team Champions on their way out.

WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 6:23: KRIS ANTHONY

SEGMENT 4: JUMBOTRON:
The camera shifts to the Jumbotron, which takes us to an outdoor view of an extravagant mansion in Fairfield, Connecticut. Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” is playing in the background as the camera takes us through the property, inside the front door, and stops in a dimly-lit den with a tiger-skin rug. In that den, we see Dexter P. Wellington, a refined, high-class gentlemen in his mid-twenties. Wearing a silk robe, he is sitting on a luxurious chair, resting his feet on an ottoman, a glass of brandy in his right hand. As the camera draws closer, he looks up.

Wellington: Ah, you’re here again. I take it you know that the time is drawing near. You see, when you have the wealth that I do, you tend to get bored, and bored pretty easily I might add. That is why I, Dexter P. Wellington, am looking for a new challenge. I appreciate the finer things in life, and there is nothing finer than having your hand raised in the center of a wrestling ring, your peers and everyone watching at home acknowledging that you are the best in the world. Someday soon, that will be me. I am not coming to the PWA to lose. My aspiration, my one goal, is to become the PWA World Heavyweight Champion. And do you know how many times in my life I’ve failed to accomplish my goals, failed to get what I want? The answer is zero. And this will be no exception. In two weeks, Dexter P. Wellington will arrive in the PWA. And when I do, I will get exactly what I want.

Just then, a butler enters the room.

Butler: Master Dexter, your bath is drawn.

Wellington: Thank you Winston. (turning back to the camera) Now if you’ll excuse me, I have more important things to attend to.

With that, Wellington, sips his brandy and rises from his chair as the camera fades out of his mansion and we are shown a graphic that reads, “Dexter P. Wellington – An Inspiration to us All.”

SEGMENT 5: BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts backstage, where Christmas music is playing and Lauren Tantalus is over a stove, wearing an apron, happily cooking. Behind her in the room are Hollywood Mike Griffin, bodyguard Jonathan Brett, and agent Ari Greenstein. They are joined by Infernus and Jackie Baccaro, who will be teaming with Griffin in six-man tag team action a little later.

Lauren: Alright, is everybody ready to eat?

Griffin: That smells delicious Lauren, what is it?

Lauren: Filet mignon, my specialty. Everybody sit down, it’s ready.

Griffin: You know Ari, this personal chef idea was great.

Greenstein: Thank you.

Baccaro: Listen Griffin, why’d you call us here?

Griffin: Just spreading some holiday cheer. Figured we’d discuss strategy for our match and all that. We all have our jobs out there tonight. I’ve got Greg Tantalus to deal with, you’ve got Paul Dawkins, and Infernus, I know you can’t wait to get your hands on Jason Calysto.

Infernus: Like you wouldn’t believe. I made him tap out like a bitch to his own hold in the locker room before, now I’ll do it in the ring.

Lauren: Alright, here we go guys.

Lauren then serves plates of filet mignon to the five men in the room.

Griffin: Mmm, this is amazing.

Lauren: (laughing) I know. When it comes to cooking, I am GOD!

Brett: As opposed to other areas of life?

Lauren: Well… no… I’m just God. Hahahaha.

Griffin: You’re so conceited it’s not even funny.

Lauren: Yes is it.

Griffin: Haha, maybe it is. You have a total Hollywood attitude.

Just then the door opens, and The Miracle Mike Troha wheels himself in.

Troha: Well look what we have here.

Lauren: I didn’t know you invited him.

Griffin: I didn’t. What do you want Troha?

Troha: I want my bodyguard back.

Griffin: So? Brett has free will and had no contract with you, so he was free to do whatever he wanted. And he has chosen to be my bodyguard not yours.

Greenstein: Shouldn’t you be out of that wheelchair by now anyway?

Troha: Um, I didn’t think you were Dr. Greenstein. Are you?

Greenstein: No…

Troha: Well then shut the hell up. Listen Griffin, I don’t know what false promises you gave him, but it’s not right. Jon, you know you don’t really want to be with these people. I paid you good money, and I actually gave a damn about your wrestling career. Griffin is just exploiting you for his personal gain.

Lauren: How bout we wheel you down the stairs and kill you?

Troha: How bout you get back to cooking, woman?

Lauren then lunges at Troha to attack him with a spatula, but Greenstein holds her back.

Griffin: You know what Troha? Fine. We’ll let Brett decide. Brett, who do you want to be associated with, us or him?

Brett rises from the couch, thinks it over, and then suddenly boots Troha in the face, knocking him right out of the wheelchair! He then lifts Troha’s wheelchair and heaves it out of the room! Troha struggles to his feet, hopping on one leg, trying to keep the pressure off his torn quad, but Griffin rushes over and smacks him in the face with Lauren’s spatula! Troha jerks back, but Brett grabs him, drags him out the door, and throws him down the hall.

Brett: (screaming down the hall) And stay out!

Griffin: Looks like that’s taken care of. Shall we?

With that, they all get back to their table and continue eating.

Cade: I think these might be the most despicable people I’ve ever seen in my life.

Ferrara: I don’t think I could disagree with you.

Madsen: Folks, we’ll be right back.

SEGMENT 6: MATCH 2: PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION KEIKO ISHIDA & JADE VS. CAMIEKO & LIZ RUSH:
Referee: Jason Church

Joydrop’s “Thick Skin” plays, and the crowd offers a decent pop for Liz Rush as she appears from behind the curtain. She rides the welcome down the ramp, and into the ring, where she poses briefly for the fans. Then, Aaliyah’s “Hot Like Fire” causes the Bancorpsouth Center audience to explode for the former Women’s Champion. Camieko marches down the ramp with the sole purpose tonight of making a statement.

Cade: I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen Camieko look more serious than she does tonight.

Madsen: And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. Anything that has Keiko Ishida involved in it will definitely draw her attention.

As Camieko settles in the ring, “Zerospace” by Kidneythieves hits next, bringing out a three-time Women’s Champion in Jade. She collectively walks down the ramp and stops at its base to await her partner, who arrives to “Samurai” by Juno Reactor. The crowd boos passionately for the cold and calculating Keiko Ishida. With the belt tightly wrapped around her waist, she makes her way to the ring without making any acknowledgement to the crowd or even to her tag team partner. They climb into the ring separately, and Ishida removes the belt. Before she can hand it to the referee, Camieko begins jawing with Ishida while pointing at the belt. Ishida, after giving the belt to the ref, marches up to Camieko and before long, they break out into a shoving contest.

Cade: Hey, the bell hasn’t even rung yet!

Ferrara: I really don’t think they care about that. With the recent events that have passed, the last thing on their mind is the ringing of a bell.

Liz steps onto the apron and Jade begrudgingly follows suit. The bell rings, but the action has already begun with Ishida and Camieko belting each other with forearms. Ishida manages to back Camieko into the ropes before launching her off to the other side. When Camieko returns, Ishida lifts her up high and sends her crashing into the canvas, flat on her face. The crowd cringes, but Ishida is not done. She lifts Camieko back onto her feet, only to send her tumbling back into her corner with a standing hurricanrana. Camieko dizzily tags Rush into the match, and Jade holds out her hand, expecting a tag. Ishida looks over at Jade before choosing to ignore her, and going to work on Rush.

Cade: She’s refusing to tag Jade in! That might be a mistake on her part.

Ferrara: Not if you’re Keiko Ishida.

Madsen: I agree.

Ishida whips Rush into a neutral corner before flying into her with an outstretched arm. Rushed is pulled out of the corner, and after Ishida boots her in the stomach, she is easy prey for a DDT that lands her on her head. Ishida gets back to her feet and beckons Rush to stand.

Cade: Oh, this isn’t going to be pretty.

Madsen: On the contrary, they’re damn gorgeous!

Cade: That’s not what I meant!

Rush stumbles back to her feet, and with a running start, Ishida drives Rush into the mat with an STO. Ishida effortlessly covers for the three count. “Samurai” hits once more, and Ishida celebrates in the ring, but Jade looks disgusted.

Cade: And just like that, this one is painfully over.

Ferrara: Camieko might have some trouble getting her belt back at Revival.
WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 3:58: KEIKO ISHIDA & JADE


-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #4--

SEGMENT 7: JUMBOTRON:
Back from commercial, our attention is turned to the Jumbotron, where we see an extensive video highlighting Jon Dulberg’s efforts to train Russian national boxing champion Vladimir Vydrina over the past week.  The Rocky-style montage shows Vydrina getting better and better as Dulberg works with him and his promoter Rodney King and wife Natasha Vydrina cheer him on.

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 3: HOLLYWOOD MIKE GRIFFIN, INFERNUS AND JACKIE BACCARO VS. JASON CALYSTO, GREG TANTALUS AND PAUL DAWKINS:
Referee: Jose Soares

Sevendust's "Black" plays over the PA system and the crowd doesn't know whether to cheer or boo once they hear the music. Their reaction is quickly turned positive once Paul Dawkins steps through the curtain, ready for his first televised appearance in two weeks.

Cade: Paul Dawkins has got to be chomping at the bit to get a piece of Jackie Baccaro tonight.

Madsen: It was two weeks ago that he was viciously assaulted by his former partner, so that's definitely understandable.

Cade: And we have learned that Dawkins has accepted Baccaro’s challenge from last week and will meet his former partner at Revival in what should be a huge match.

Madsen: It sure should!

Ferrara: Well here comes another guy with a bit of a score to settle as well.

The Tea Party's "Temptation" hits next, and the crowd's cheers boom even more as Greg Tantalus marches out through the entrance. He power walks down the ramp with a purpose, to take out his longtime former partner, Mike Griffin.

Cade: You're right about that Paul. It was last week when Jonathan Brett chokeslammed Greg Tantalus right through our announce table to basically save Mike Griffin's ass.

Madsen: Well we can't say that's the reason for sure.

Cade: The hell we can't! Greg Tantalus suffered a bruised rib because of that attack and was given the rest of the week off. He returned to action two days ago in Nashville against Brett, but that was just a set up for him and Griffin to double team him to try and put him out again. I hope they both get theirs tonight.

"F*ckin' In The Bushes" by Oasis plays next, and the cheers grow to roars as The Iceman Jason Calysto makes his way down the ramp.

Ferrara: Now speaking of scores to settle, Jason Calysto has been dealing with Infernus ever since their altercation last December in New York City. They had a lumberjack match in the same arena that settled nothing, and then Infernus returned to action in Alaska at Fallen Souls to help Solomon retain the World Title against Calysto, so now Infernus and The Iceman are going to meet at Revival in a just-signed submission match!

Cade: Submission match!? Is that official? Where did you hear that?

Ferrara: From my sources. You two are okay, but I'm Paul Ferrara. I've got waaaay more stroke than you two could dream of, so I tend to know these types of things fellas.

Calysto steps into the ring and readies himself for action with his partners as Tool's "Parabola" plays next. With Jonathan Brett donning dark, black shades and Lauren Tantalus entering right behind him, Hollywood Mike Griffin steps out in the center of the entrance with yet another entourage, this time completed by his brother Infernus and Jackie Baccaro.

Griffin's majestic red, white and blue fireworks explode in the air behind them as the group makes their way down the ramp, but their opponents see no reason to wait as they hop out of the ring and dart up the ramp to go after them!

Griffin backs away quickly as Brett steps forward to catch the brunt of Tantalus' attack. Dawkins and Baccaro tear into one another in a big slugfest as Calysto and Infernus trade chops and punches. Jose Soares gets those two scuffles broken up, but Tantalus is left to be hit from behind by Griffin and knocked down to the ground. Brett and Griffin roll him back into the ring and Griffin climbs in as the bell sounds.

Cade: Great, thanks to Brett again, Griffin already starts this match with the advantage.

Madsen: That's the results you want when you have a bodyguard.

Griffin starts off by stomping Tantalus and smacking him cockily in the head. Tantalus struggles to his feet and swings at Griffin, who easily sidesteps the wild shot and catches him in one of his patented German suplexes. The crowd "oohs" as Griffin connects with a second and releases on the third before kicking himself up to a highly negative reaction. Griffin smiles at Dawkins and Calysto before attempting a cover for one...two...with a kickout just before three.

Cade: He might have had the cover there if he didn't showboat.

Ferrara: Probably, but Hollywood is one of the smartest ring workers on our roster and he knows he doesn't need to beat Tantalus on that. He's bringing in the real power of the team right now to follow up.

Jackie Baccaro takes the tag and scoops Tantalus off the mat to deliver one backbreaker over his knee, followed by another before tossing him down to the canvas. He makes an aggressive cover, but still only gets a count of two. Baccaro gets to his feet, claiming the matchup is nearing its end as he signals for his running forearm. He prepares himself in a corner and charges at a barely-standing Tantalus, but the crafty veteran takes the Rookie of The Year down with a drop toe hold that snaps his head across the bottom turnbuckle!

Cade: Alright! Time to make the tag Greg!

Ferrara: Baccaro looks hurt pretty bad in there after that move.

Madsen: Well he's about to be hurt even worse now!

Tantalus lunges to his corner and makes a tag, to Paul Dawkins! The crowd goes berserk as Dawkins rushes into the ring and unloads on his former partner with vicious right and left hands to the forehead. Baccaro has absolutely no defense until Lauren Tantalus thinks fast enough to distract Soares for Baccaro to score with a low blow!

Baccaro quickly tags out to Infernus, who rushes into the ring to blatantly choke Dawkins to press his advantage. Infernus covers for a brief two count, before locking him in a rear chinlock. The crowd quickly begins to chant for Dawkins, who slowly pulls himself up. Using his height and leverage advantage, Dawkins ducks forward and sends Infernus hard into the turnbuckles before taking him down with a reverse DDT! Dawkins gets back up and the building really erupts the moment he tags in Jason Calysto, but Griffin rushes into the ring to divert attention away from the tag, making it illegal.

Ferrara: The ref didn't see the tag; Jay has to get outta there.

Soares tells The Iceman to leave the ring, but he refuses and nails Infernus with a huge spinning heel kick before going after Griffin! Dawkins makes another tag, this time to Greg Tantalus, but he is dead set on going after Jackie Baccaro. He knocks Baccaro down to the arena floor before hurling himself atop his former partner with a plancha over the top rope!

With Calysto fighting off Griffin and Brett and Dawkins going to war with Baccaro, a groggy Greg Tantalus drags Infernus over towards a corner before heading up to the top rope. Lauren Tantalus jumps up to thwart her brother, but he shoves her off and down to the floor to a huge ovation!

Madsen: He just knocked off his little sister!

Cade: Can't say she didn't deserve it!

Madsen: She's just getting over a concussion!

The Smooth One then turns his attention back to Infernus before coming off the top and connecting with his rarely-seen 450-degree splash! The flashbulbs cannot keep up with the speed of his dive and Tantalus hooks both legs as Soares gets into position to count one....two....three!

"Temptation" hits again, but Tantalus doesn't bother trying to celebrate. Instead, he hits the ropes and dives right through them on the other side, taking out Griffin, Brett, Baccaro and even Dawkins with a suicidal tope! He pounds away on both Griffin and Brett until officials rush down the ramp to try and break the two teams up.

Madsen: Tantalus scored the win for his team, but the wars between these guys are far, far from over!

Ferrara: Man, I can't wait for Revival if the action is going to be this good!

WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 15:02: JASON CALYSTO, GREG TANTALUS AND PAUL DAWKINS
