SEGMENT
9: RINGSIDE:
We return from commercial break as “Da
Repercussions” blasts onto the speakers and the International Champion Mike
Grieco makes his way to the ring, Dee Licious at his side. As boos rain down, Grieco grabs a mic and
steps into the ring. Grieco prepares to
speak, but he refuses to talk over the boos.
Of course, the jeers only increase in volume at
this, until Grieco takes the microphone.
Grieco: Shut up! Everyone shut the hell up! What I wanted to say… is Merry
Christmas! That’s right! You all wanted to boo me, and all I wanted to
do is wish you a Merry Christmas. Don’t
you all look like insensitive jackasses now?!
You know, while you’re all out having yourselves a merry little
Christmas,
With that, Grieco stops talking as he notices The
Omega Steve Beovich angrily stomping down the aisle! However, he is clubbed down from behind by
Jon Dulberg, he continues his march to the ring! Behind him, however, is Justice, Superstar
Scott Hosemann, and then Showtime Damon Savage!
Before long, all six men are in the ring brawling, having to be
separated by numerous officials as we go to commercial break.
Cade: This International situation is
heated!
Madsen: And it’ll be resolved on New
Year’s Eve!

SEGMENT 10:
BACKSTAGE:
A camera is set
backstage, where Solomon is preparing for his upcoming title defense alongside Walter
Gindin.
Gindin: You almost ready big man?
Solomon: Almost.
Gindin: Well take your time, you won’t have to work too
much tonight.
Solomon: What are you talking about? I've got GI Jew
tonight. You know how tough he is. Sure, he's been my bitch in the past, but
he's no pushover.
Gindin: Listen. GI Jew has always made it a habit to do
something special on the Frequencies before Christmas. Two years ago, he beat
up some guy as Santa Claus and last year, he attacked me while I was in a
damn mascot's costume! I have waited for a year to exact revenge on him for
that, and tonight, I've got a plan in place that will assure that.
Solomon: Well just as long as I keep the title, I don't
care what you do. Now pass the black tape.
Gindin: You got it.
Gindin is giddy with excitement as he rubs his hands
together and smiles as the shot fades out.
SEGMENT 11:
MATCH 4: BISHOP CROSS VS. ROMEO:
Referee: Matt Hansen
Three D-Bombs fly down and explode on the stage, before the Beat-n-Azz
Remix of “Hottest of the Hot” by B.G. hits, and the crowd gives it up for
Romeo. He heads into the ring and poses for the crowd before the houselights go
out and six Druids wielding torches line the entryway. Holding the only sources
of light up high, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” hauntingly plays
and summons the ever intimidating Bishop Cross. He slowly makes his way towards
the ring while staring dead at Romeo, who equally returns the gaze. Cross
climbs up the steps and raises the lights before stepping into the ring.
Cade: I always get an uneasy feeling whenever this man comes to the ring.
Madsen: It means you need to grow a spine.
Cade: Shut up, Rick!
As the bell sounds, Cross and Romeo circle the ring. They lock up hard, and
Cross lands a knee in Romeo’s gut, following it up with a body drop that sends
Romeo crashing into the mat. He lifts Romeo up for an additional body drop, but
Romeo slips out and lands behind him. In a fluid motion, Romeo wraps and arm
around Cross’ head and plasters him against the canvas with a reverse DDT! The
crowd cheers for Romeo! He takes the opportunity to stomp on Cross while he’s
still on the ground before bringing him back to his feet and dizzying him
further with several rights and lefts.
Madsen: Romeo is no joke. Cross can take a real beating if he doesn’t get back
up, fast.
Romeo takes down Cross with an armdrag, following it up with a big back body
drop that causes Cross to writhe on the mat. Romeo looks to cause more damage,
but the crowd boos when they see Renegade speeding down the ramp and sliding
into the ring. He attacks Romeo from behind, spearing him right to the ground.
Renegade batters Romeo’s face with balled fists as Cross gets back to his feet.
However, the referee disallows this and throws the match out.
Cade: Renegade just ruined this match!
Madsen: This is payback for what happened last week!
The bell rings several times, but this doesn’t stop Cross and Renegade engaging
in a two-on-one assault on Romeo. With the crowd abhorring every moment of this
and all seems lost, the house lights go out.
Linkin Park’s “With You” suddenly causes the fans to blast the roof off as the Jumbotron
lights up with white text, reading: “Scythe Returns.” After several moments,
the lights come back up, and although the Modern-Day Samurai is nowhere to be
seen, Cross bears a face of utter aggression. Leaving Renegade and Romeo
behind, Cross rolls out of the ring and heads back up the ramp, seething with anger.
Cade: And speaking of payback, it looks like Scythe is poised to get it against
Cross!

SEGMENT 12: BACKSTSAGE:
Returning from a
commercial, the camera is sitting inside Kerry Cox’s office. He is sitting at
the desk when the door bursts open and in walks Bishop Cross, still looking
disturbed.
Cox: Oh, this had better be good.
Cross: Kerry, I want something done about these threats that Scythe is making.
I can’t wrestle a match without thinking that he’s going to come out and ruin
it for me!
Cox: What do you want me to do about it? You’re the one who provoked him in the
first place.
Cross: I don’t care what you do! You’re the Commissioner, do something about
it!
Cox: (Sighs) You know what? You’re right. I’m the Commissioner, so I’m going to
do something that will make Scythe stop these threats, and I’m going to do it
the best way I know how. You, Bishop Cross, will find yourself at Revival, in a
match against Scythe. I think that will make him stop, don’t you?
Cross offers no answer, or even any response, vocal or physical. He merely
stares at Cox for several moments before leaving the office, leaving Cox to go
back to his work.

SEGMENT 14: MATCH 5: PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: SOLOMON © VS. GI JEW:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
The
lights dim down and the spotlight falls in the ring, showing only ring
announcer Lee Palmer standing in the middle.
Palmer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is for The PWA Heavyweight Championship of The World! Introducing first,
the challenger, from
"Opium
of the People" by Slipknot hits and the crowd instantly goes bananas as
the motorcycle headlights peek through the curtain. With it's engine revving
loudly, the custom bike speeds down the ramp with GI Jew at the helm, looking
more focused than ever on becoming a three-time PWA Champion. He climbs
into the ring and quickly puts his hands atop his knees, waiting on his
opposition liked a caged animal as Darkseed's "Hear Me" takes over.
Palmer: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by
Walter Gindin, from Barrow, Alaska, standing at 7 feet tall and weighing
300 pounds, he is the undefeated, undisputed PWA Heavyweight Champion of The
Worrrrrld, Sollll-o-monnnn!
Solomon
and Gindin march out to a wave of boos from the capacity crowd, but neither
change their stoic looks as they stare at GI Jew. Gindin scoffs at the sight of
his former client as Solomon steps over the top rope and hands his title to
referee Tom Stevens. The two bitter enemies immediately come face to face in
the middle of the ring.
Cade: We know the story between these two. They have met
in a Last Man Standing Match, a Hell in A Cell Match, the main event at
Everlasting Epic, and it was Solomon who cost GI Jew his second PWA
Championship by smashing him through a car window. The history between these
men is as deep as the day is long, but this is the first time they have
ever met for the World Heavyweight Championship.
The
bell rings and both men quickly begin to slug it out. Jew begins to gain the
advantage, nailing Solomon with rapid right hands before hitting the ropes
and sending him down with a flying tackle. Jew doesn't even waste his time in
attempting a cover and instead mounts Solomon to pound his head with fists and
canvas until Stevens breaks it up.
Jew
tosses the official aside and charges at Solomon, but the champion greets him
with a thunderous powerslam! Jew writhes on the mat, allowing Solomon
ample time to recover. That proves costly to GI Jew, as Solomon yanks him up
and tosses him into a corner. He follows up with three hard shoulder thrusts
into the midsection before Irish whipping Jew across the ring hard into
the opposite turnbuckles!
Madsen: I literally saw those turnbuckles shake from
that impact guys!
Solomon
covers for one...two...and Jew kicks out of it. He then lifts Jew up by the
shirt and tears it down the middle before lighting up his chest with a huge
open-hand chop. Jew clutches his chest as Solomon backs him into the ropes
and Irish whips him across. Solomon tries a clothesline, but Jew ducks
under it and scores with another tackle on his return that sends Solomon
through the ropes and outside the ring!
Cade: Boy, speaking of impact!
Solomon
lands hard, but Jew is relentless, picking Solomon off the floor and tossing
him violently into the steel ring steps! Jew then rips off what is left of his
T-Shirt and wraps it around the neck of the champion, choking him through
Stevens' threats of disqualification. Jew then throws the shirt into the crowd,
who scrambles for it as he rolls Solomon back into the ring.
Jew
then begins to climb up to the top rope in an uncharacteristic move for the
Grand Slam winner. Solomon stumbles to his feet slowly, but turns around and
catches an incoming GI Jew effortlessly over his shoulder! Jew frantically
tries to escape and does so with a rake to the eyes, allowing him to land
behind Solomon. Without wasting any motion, Jew gets him in a pump handle
position and scores with a shortened Magnum Driver to a thunderous pop from the
crowd!
Cade: Magnum Driver! Magnum Driver! The streak is going to
end right here!
Madsen: Make the cover!
Jew
makes the cover and the crowd counts along with Stevens for one...two...thr-but
Solomon gets an arm up!
Madsen: No!
GI
Jew doesn't carry a look of disbelief, but instead brings a look of
determination as he readies himself in a corner to deliver The Gore. Solomon
gets to his feet slowly and Jew charges forward to unleash a massive Gore right
into the chest of the champion! Jew covers again for one....two....but he's
pulled off the cover by Gindin!
Cade: Dammit! Walter Gindin is ruining yet another match
here!
Jew
is finally fed up and goes after the superagent, grabbing him on top of the
ring apron and knocking him off. Gindin falls to the arena floor below, but
waves someone down from the back by the entrance. GI Jew looks on with
amazement and then cracks into a smile as a dozen midgets dressed as elves run
down the ramp and circle the ring!
Cade: What the hell is going on?!
Ferrara: These guys never learn, do they?!
Solomon
catches his breath as the elves flood the ring, trying to gang up on their
nemesis GI Jew, but Jew bashes them with hard punches and kicks before lifting
each one up and launching them out of the ring with as much force as he
possibly can! Several elves fly out into the crowd as Stevens tries to maintain
order, but Solomon fully recovers and sneaks up behind GI Jew before scooping
him up for The Deep Freeze! Solomon swings him around, but Jew lands behind
Solomon and executes a second Magnum Driver!
Cade: Another Magnum Driver! Cover him Josh!
Jew
makes a cover again for one....two...thre-, but he is hit from behind with a
red bag by....Santa Claus! Stevens looks to call for the bell, but Jew demands
him not to before pulling down the fat man's fake beard and revealing a seemingly
familiar face!
Madsen: Who is that?!
Cade: He's back?!?! Why now?!?!
Cade: But he's Jewish too!
Jew
just shakes his head at Santa Norm, who is actually trying to
spread Christmas cheer to the Jewish superstar. Norm bellows and holds his
jolly stomach to say "Ho Ho Ho", but the last "Ho" doesn't
leave his mouth as GI Jew simply grabs him and launches him over the top
rope as well! Solomon is still down on the ground from The Magnum Driver and
Jew looks around to see no Gindin, no elves and no Santa Norm before finally
readying himself to deliver a final devastating Gore to bring home the title
from the man who unjustly took it from him. Solomon stumbles to his feet and
Jew charges like a bull in
Cade: Oh come on! How did Failla get in there?!
Madsen: I have no idea, but he doesn't want to wait for
any Steel Cage match at Revival!
Stevens
has no choice but to call for the bell, which rings as Failla begins a vicious
assault on a now exhausted GI Jew. Solomon wipes the sweat from his brow in
relief before also going to work on GI Jew, who is prone on the canvas. The
bell rings continuously as Gindin comes in on the act and the three have a
field day on GI Jew until a huge, fiery burst of pyro erupts and Jaguar blitzes
his way down the ramp and into the ring!
Madsen: These people are going nuts!
The
few healthy elves remaining climb back into the ring, struggling mightily in
doing so, but they try to assist the three rulebreakers as the former Tag Team
Champions fight them off. Jew blocks a Failla right hand before closing him out
of the ring and Solomon misses a big boot that straddles him on the top rope.
Jaguar then picks up a midget and tosses him at Solomon, knocking him down to
the floor yet again!
Gindin
looks for higher ground, but he is literally Gored right out of his shoes by an
incensed GI Jew! Jaguar and Jew toss out the remaining elves, but Santa Norm
re-enters the ring while their backs are turned.
Ferrara: Oh Norm, Norm, Norm, why won't you learn buddy?!
Failla,
Gindin and Solomon all retreat up the ramp, licking their wounds as Santa Norm
tries to reason with Jaguar instead. Jaguar appears to agree with the words
Santa Norm is saying and extends his hand to the eccentric former superstar.
Norm takes the handshake, but Jaguar uses it to Irish whip him into the ropes
as GI Jew hits on the opposite side and blast him with a massive Dudley Death
Drop! "I Got That Fire" by Juvenile and Mannie Fresh hits
momentarily, but Jew isn't done as he calls for a microphone.
Jew: Cut the music! (Looking down at Santa Norm) There is
something i need to say to you. (With the crowd) Happy Hannukah.....pussy!
Jew
drops the mic as "Opium Of The People" replays. Jaguar raises his
hand in victory, even though he did not succeed in becoming the champion for
the third time.
Madsen: What a tremendous effort by GI Jew here tonight.
Cade: It was, but he had the PWA Title within his reach
and Failla took it away. Let me tell you, there will be hell to pay inside the
steel cage at Revival!
Cade: Well we're out of time folks! We'll see you next
week, Merry Christmas!
