TD WATERHOUSE CENTER
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
The opening credits roll immediately as
Cade: Welcome to PWA Frequency! I’m Nick Cade, along here with Rick
Madsen and, of course, Paul Ferrara, and it’s the last show before Revival!
Ferrara: That’s right Nick, and it’s
gonna be a hot one!
Cade: It sure is! In six-man tag team action, Mike Grieco teams
with Jon Dulberg and Superstar Scott Hosemann to face Showtime Damon Savage,
The Omega Steve Beovich and Justice!
Madsen: The International title
situation is definitely heated! But also
folks, you’ll see a heated Paul Dawkins in the ring with the undefeated Bishop
Cross!
Cade: It’s definitely going to be a hot…
SEGMENT 2: RINGSIDE:
After a loud explosion, the lights dim a bit as Darkseed's
"Hear Me" slowly begins to play through the speakers. A largely
negative fan reaction sets the stage for the arrival of Solomon and Walter
Gindin, who leads the World Heavyweight Champion down to the ring. They each
climb the ring steps and step inside the squared circle before taking the
microphone from Lee Palmer.
Gindin: If all you sun-dried, retired, and living on
social security 80-year-olds here in
Solomon: Thank you Walter. Now listen up! I came out here
a few weeks ago and said I was tired of the way I've been getting treated
around here, and now, just a few weeks later, I'm out here to say the same damn
thing. Let me make one thing very clear to you. I am YOUR World Heavyweight
Champion! Every time I come to this ring, I decimate my competition and
leave as the winner. I am undefeated and undisputed as the champion, and that
means you people have no choice but to respect me! (Crowd boos) Now I've gone
all around this country since winning this title, defending it night after
night and leaving my opponents laying in the ring whenever I do it. Yet
whenever I'm in an airport or at a restaurant, especially in a place like
The crowd is booing heavily until "I Got That Fire" by
Juvenile and Mannie Fresh thumps through the speakers and Jaguar walks out.
Wearing jeans and a brand new Pedro Martinez New York Mets jersey, the former
World Heavyweight Champion begins to address the current titleholder.
Jaguar: Solomon, I was listening to what you had to say in
the back, and you make some good points. You have beaten every big name in this
business, whether it be a title match or not. And so far, whenever someone has
gone to face you one-on-one, you have gone through that curtain leaving whoever
it is flat on their back. Those points I can't argue. But what I can tell you
is that things will be different at Revival. You come out here and tell the
world that you don't give a damn about wrestling in
Solomon: Are you resting your case Jaguar? How fitting for
a man who comes from a city full of hardened criminals. Things must be so
rough on the beach next to your palm trees, but that's neither here nor
there.
Jaguar: Well let me tell you what is here or there big
man. I see right through you. Sure, you've been laying out guys left and right
since the day you got here, but I've been watching you Solomon. I've taped all
of your TV matches for the past few months and whenever I'm not wrestling you
at a house show, I'm standing behind that curtain, scouting you and watching
your every move. Now you might not feel that you need to do that, hell,
you've been undefeated for a year and a half and you've beaten everyone, but
things are different this time around. This time, you are the World Heavyweight
Champion and you've got what the world wants. But you're not facing the world
at Revival, you're facing me and I know how to beat you.
Solomon: Well share with us then?
Jaguar: Oh they'll find out on New Year's
Eve, but some of them already know. We all watched your match against GI
Jew last week. Sure, you left as the champion again, but you got your ass
kicked! The week before, you weren't as dominant as you usually are
in that big tag match. Every night on the road, sure, you're getting your
wins, but I've been watching you labor for them. The gap is closing on you
Solomon. The pressure of being the World Heavyweight Champion is slowly
breaking you down and this week, it will break you down.
Solomon: Enough of this bullshit from you Jag! You think
the playing field is leveled now?! You think you can hang in this ring with me?
No one can!
Jaguar: Oh yeah? I heard you out here naming all of these
towns in
Gindin: Excuse me there. I see you're getting all fired
up, but you know full well that the contract we signed for Revival states that
Solomon will not defend the title against you before December 31st. (Crowd
boos) However, we would be more than happy to get my other client Infernus
in a tag match against you and any partner of your choosing.
Jaguar: Fine. I've got an excellent partner in mind and
I'm sure The Iceman Jason Calysto will love to hear the news the second he
arrives here to the arena. We'll see you in the ring tonight and I'll prove
that I know how to beat you big man!
"I Got That Fire" replays and Jaguar turns to head
backstage again, leaving Solomon and Gindin to cool down after the heated
confrontation as we take our first commercial break.

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 1:
BISHOP CROSS VS. PAUL DAWKINS:
Referee:
Jason Church
We return to ringside, where Sevendust's "Black" has
just hit the speakers. With a brand new Jumbotron video now highlighting only
the best clips from Paul Dawkins, the fans now know to cheer as the former Air
Force serviceman marches his way down the ramp. Dawkins climbs into the ring
and acknowledges the crowd before bouncing off the ropes to warm himself up.
Cade: We just saw a heated confrontation between Solomon
and Jaguar moments ago, but if you want to talk about confrontations, what about
Dawkins and Baccaro meeting each other at Revival this Friday night?
The lights suddenly go down and the mood changes completely as
Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of The Opera Overture" hits. Only the
torches of ten druids illuminate the arena as a cloaked Bishop Cross slowly
steps down the ramp towards the ring. The druids hold their flames high and
slowly back away through the smoke as Cross steps into the ring and the lights
come back up.
Cross disrobes and Dawkins looks a bit unnerved, but he circles
the ring to get things underway as the bell sounds. They lock up and Dawkins
uses his size advantage to force Cross back into a corner. Cross couldn't look
more nonchalant than he does as Jason Church calls for the clean break that
Dawkins gives.
They go to lock up again and this time Cross goes low with a knee
to the midsection. He follows up with another one, doubling Dawkins over before
he backs to the ropes and sends the former tag team champion down with a high
knee lift to the face. Dawkins hits the mat and Cross furthers his assault with
an open chokehold right in front of the official, who forces Cross to break the
hold at the count of four.
Madsen: Bishop Cross almost got disqualified right there!
Cross grabs Dawkins by the arm and slings him into a corner where
he slaps him tremendously hard with a reverse knife-edge chop. Dawkins fires
back with one of his own, but Cross re-affirms his control with an even harder
chop. He grabs Dawkins' by the arm and irish whips him towards the opposite
corner, but Dawkins reverses the whip and levels Cross with a huge clothesline
on his return!
With the crowd now fully behind him, Dawkins backs cross up into a
corner and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle to punch him repeatedly in the
head. The punch count reaches ten quickly and after the crowd stops counting,
he slings Cross into another corner and crushes him with a huge Stinger Splash!
Cross takes a few steps forward and falls flat on his face, making the crowd
come to a fever pitch as Dawkins readies himself for The M.O.A.B.
Cade: You know what Paul is looking for here, we're about
to see a streak end!
Madsen: Wait just a minute, now Baccaro is out here!
The shot cuts up to the ramp, where Jackie Baccaro is standing,
with his big arms folded as he wears a wide grin across his face. Dawkins pokes
his head through the ropes, beckoning him to come down to the ring, but he does
it long enough for Cross to reach up and roll him into a pin! Church begins to
count and Cross puts both feet on the ropes as he hits the mat three times!
Cade: He had the feet on the ropes ref!
Cross is announced the winner, but Dawkins quickly rolls out of
the ring and chases Baccaro up the ramp and out of view. Bishop Cross regains
his bearings in the ring, but cannot be seen once the lights black out!
Madsen: Uh oh!
Cross panics in the ring and quickly rushes out of it before
sprinting up the ramp, but he stops cold in his tracks as a red light in the
entryway shows a silhouette of Scythe standing in the center. Cross is frozen
on the ramp as smoke surrounds the image and the voice of the modern-day
samurai comes over the PA System.
Scythe: You thought you took me out when you attacked me a
few weeks ago, but little do you know that the war you have created is
only about to begin. This Friday at Revival, the signs will stop and the games
will end. At Revival, this samurai will make sure to chop you down Bishop
Cross. You have three days remaining. Consider yourself forewarned.
A loud whoosh is heard as the voice suddenly ends and the lights
are brought back up. Cross stands sweating profusely on the ramp, with himself,
the crowd and even the commentators in stunned silence as we head to a break.
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT

SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
We return in the Hot Boy$ locker room, where Jaguar has
just taken off his jersey and grabbed a roll of athletic tape. He bites off a
piece of the roll to use it just as Romeo walks through the door, dressed for
action.
Jaguar: What's goin on
Romeo: We gotta talk bro.
Jaguar: Shoot.
Romeo: What was the deal with that out there man?
Jaguar: Deal with what?
Romeo: You and Solomon.
Jaguar: What about it? This dude comes out and
insults where we come from, so I had to let him have it.
Romeo: Nah, not that. All of that was good, I'm definitely
with you on that. We do it big down here, no doubt. But if memory serves me
right, I heard Gindin say you and any partner of your choice would face Solomon
and Infernus tonight.
Jaguar: That's right.
Romeo: So let me ask you this. What are you thinking
choosing Jason Calysto?! Nobody has come closer to beating Solomon than me and
nobody damn sure owns Infernus like Da Playboi, so I'm asking you what gives
cuz.
Jaguar: Well it's real simple. Sure, me and you are the
best team to ever lace em up, no doubt about that. But you've seen what
Infernus has done to Jay lately and you know how bad Jay wants to get his hands
on this kid before Revival. If it was for the belts or something, you'd be out
there with me, but this is all about getting the jump on Revival and Jay
deserves that chance.
Romeo: And I don't?
Jaguar: Didn't say that, but you got your own issue in
Renegade.
Romeo: Renegade? Are you serious?!
Jaguar: Don't sleep on the kid playa. I go back a
ways with that guy and he didn't come back to lose easily. Stay focused on him
for now and if you want a crack at somebody else, do it after Revival. What's
the problem with that?
Romeo: (Long pause) None. No problem at all bro.
Jaguar: Cool then. I'm gonna go run over to Larry and have
him tape me up for the match. I'll get at you later.
Romeo: Later.
Jaguar exits for the trainer's room, but the door doesn't close as
Renegade barges in. Romeo gets up, but arena security quickly flanks Renegade as
he begins to speak.
Renegade: Hope you don't mind that I brought a few
friends over.
Romeo: I don't, but they will when I beat all your asses.
Renegade: Negative Romeo. None of that is goin' down
tonight. It's not my fault that you had goals to beat Solomon and become the
World Champion and now your partner, your best friend, hell your own brother
has stepped in to try and take that from you. That's not my issue. My issue is
this Friday night at Revival, where I'm going to beat you 1,2,3. but don't be
upset about it. At least one Hot Boy will leave Revival as a winner. See you in
Renegade exits with security heavily covering him, leaving Romeo
alone in the room.
Romeo: Yeah, well see about that.
SEGMENT 5: RINGSIDE:
Slipknot’s “Opium of The People” suddenly plays, and the
crowd cheers for GI Jew as he speeds down the ramp. His motorcycle roars before
he circles the ring and parks it at the side. He takes his time getting into
the ring as the cheers continue, and he grabs a microphone from ringside.
Jew: Alright, alright. I appreciate you fans cheering for me, but it’s all
about business tonight. You all saw what happened last week. I had a match with
Solomon for the PWA World Heavyweight title, and I was literally seconds away
from beating him. I could’ve not only taken what should be MY title, but I also
could’ve ended his undefeated streak! And who do I have to blame for being
unable to do both, but Anthony Failla. (Crowd boos) Yeah, you know what I mean.
Last week, mere moments away from winning the championship, Failla decides to
come into the ring and screw with me and cost me my belt. Well, Failla, I hope
you know that you made your death wish that night, because I’m going to be your
executioner! We all know that you’ll be losing to me at Revival, but screw
that, because I want you in the ring right now!
GI Jew paces around the ring as the crowd begins chanting his name. He eagerly
awaits Failla’s arrival, but the Jumbotron lights up instead.
Failla: Hey. Up here. Listen, I don’t really know what you’re so angry about.
It’s not like you even deserve to have the title. I saved you from a lot of
trouble last week. You should be thanking me!
Jew: I’ll thank you for giving me the chance to beat your ass as soon as you
come down here!
Failla: Sorry, I can’t do that. You see, I’m not even in the building tonight.
You’ll have to wait until Revival.
Jew: Fine, you can hide behind that screen tonight, but you won’t have anywhere
to go at Revival! I’m sure you know why, Failla! You and I will be locked
inside a cage where the only way out is up, but I’m not going to let you passed
the bottom of my boots!
Jew throws the mic to the ground as “Opium of The People” hits once more, and
he steps out of the ring to mount his bike. With Failla still looking on, Jew
speeds up the ramp, giving Failla the finger in the process.

SEGMENT 6: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, we’re taken to Hollywood Mike
Griffin’s locker room suite. He is
sitting on a couch, talking with his agent Ari Greenstein, while his personal
chef Lauren Tantalus is in the background and his bodyguard Jonathan Brett is
standing by the door in the foreground.
Greenstein: Really though, Hollywood, you’re going to
have to pick up the pace a little if you want to get everything done on your
agenda. You have a premiere this
weekend, plus Hef’s New Year’s Eve party, which you HAVE to make an appearance at,
plus all your personal engagements… I don’t know how you’re going to take care
of it all.
Greenstein:
Greenstein:
Greenstein:
Greenstein:
Lauren: Oooh can I make something exotic?!
Lauren: Hmmm… I’m going to have to
prepare something extra special, to celebrate your destruction of my
good-for-nothing brother.
Lauren: How about… venison!
Lauren: It’s delicious! Oh my God, TRUST me! It’s great!
Just then, the door swings open, and Brett immediately has
to block the path of the entering Greg Tantalus.
Tantalus: I just came to pass you a
message, Mr. Hollywood.
Tantalus: The message is that come New
Year’s Eve, I’m gonna beat you all over freakin Jacksonville and show you once
and for all that I was the better man in TFU.
Griffin: If you say so. A thousand bucks says you don’t.
Tantalus: Are you friggin kidding me?! I’m not gonna bet you.
Tantalus: Listen
Lauren: Screw you, Greg, this was my
decision.
Tantalus: But why?
Lauren: Because you weren’t doing
anything for me. I needed a way to stay
in the PWA after I got hurt. Mike gave
me that out, you didn’t. So business is
business. I did the only thing I could
do to save my job.
Tantalus: You don’t need to be in the
middle of this.
Lauren: You chose your side, now I’ve
chosen mine.
Greenstein: You heard the lady. Get out of here.
Tantalus: How bout I drop you on your
head again, asshole face?
Brett then moves into position.
Tantalus:
Don’t bother. I’ll take care of
big boy over here another time. Listen
Lauren: Don’t expect me to have any
either.
Tantalus then stares them all down before exiting
intensely, ready for the match on Friday.
After he leaves, Lauren rolls her eyes.
Lauren:
Asshole.
Greenstein: Yeah?
SEGMENT 7: BACKSTAGE:
The camera shifts to another area backstage, where Showtime
Damon Savage is warming up for his upcoming six-man tag team match, which is
next. As he continues this, he is
approached by the foursome of Rodney King, Vladimir Vydrina, his wife and
interpreter Natasha, and his trainer Jon Dulberg, who is scheduled to be one of
Showtime’s opponents tonight. Showtime
stops what he’s doing and turns to the group.
Showtime:
What?
King: There’s no need for hostility
Showtime. We just came here to wish you
luck in that six-man tag tonight, as well as the six-man elimination bout for
the International Championship this Friday night at Revival.
Dulberg: That’s right. Good luck Showtime.
Showtime: What are you wishin Showtime
luck for, punk? You’re the one who needs
luck.
King: Showtime, Showtime! Calm down now! This is just a friendly gesture.
Showtime: (ignoring Rodney) When’s your
punk ass trainee gonna be ready to get his ass whooped by Showtime?
Dulberg: Funny you should ask. I think the big man’s about ready to go. What do you say, Tasha?
Natasha: He is ready. He is a killer. He will wrestle. Next week.
Vladimir Vydrina then cracks a slow smile and lifts his head up as Showtime
stares him down.
Showtime: (turning back to Dulberg) It’s
go time, punk. See you out there.

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 3:
PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION MIKE GRIECO, JON DULBERG & SUPERSTAR
SCOTT HOSEMANN VS. SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE, THE OMEGA STEVE BEOVICH & JUSTICE:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
DMX’s “Where Da Hood At” blasts over the speakers, bringing out
the cheers from the crowd for Justice. He walks down the ramp and enters the
ring, before White Zombie’s “More Human Than Human” plays, prompting “The
Omega” Steve Beovich to arrive. Once he steps into the ring, the loudest pop
thus far comes when Showtime Damon Savage appears with “Footprints” by G Unit
playing loudly throughout the TD Waterhouse Center. He steps into the ring and
meets up with his teammates when 50 Cent’s “Da Repercussions” hits, bringing
out the International Champion Mike Grieco, Jon Dulberg, and Scott Hosemann.
They head down to the ring as a unit, although there is clearly some tension
within the group. Each man steps into the ring and trades words with each
other.
Cade: We can have a good match here if the referee can keep things under
control.
Ferrara: With six men all about to compete for the same belt at Revival, Billy
Vargas needs to earn his pay tonight.
Grieco hands his belt to the referee, who tells the two teams to take their
positions. Dulberg starts off for his team, and to the dismay of Beovich,
Justice steps up first. Dulberg and Justice circle the ring briefly and lock up
hard, but Dulberg lands a boot in his stomach before following it up with
stinging fists. Justice battles back with punches of his own, but Dulberg takes
him down with a big forearm. After lifting Justice back up, Dulberg slips
behind him and wraps an arm around his neck, before forcing him to fall back on
his knee. Justice roars and arches his back on the mat. Beovich rallies the
crowd and slaps the ring post, prompting the audience to begin clapping and
stomping their feet in unison.
Cade: And Beovich leads the crowd to give their support!
Madsen: It’s probably a misunderstanding. I think that Beovich just wants to
get his hands on Dulberg.
Justice wobbles back up to his feet as if being willed on by the crowd, but
Dulberg whips him into the ropes and flattens him with a side slam. The crowd
refuses to give up on Justice though, and they continue to cheer him on.
However, Dulberg lifts the far leg and goes for the pin cover. One... Two...
and Beovich storms into the ring and boots Dulberg out of the pin!
Ferrara: Hey, get him out of there, ref!
Beovich refuses to leave the ring and begins beating down on Dulberg, causing
Scott Hosemann to also enter the ring. However, before he tries to inflict any
damage on Beovich, Hosemann turns around and looks at Grieco with a devilish
grin. Grieco looks as if his worries have all come back again, and he realizes
this when Hosemann dumps his own teammate into the ring!
Cade: Wait a minute, what’s going on?! Hosemann is attacking his own team!
Madsen: I don’t think he cares about the team, Nick! Hosemann is looking at the
future, and more specifically, the International belt that Mike Grieco holds!
Showtime also enters the fray and helps Hosemann in his attack on Grieco, and
when it seems that Grieco is completely out of it, Showtime turns on Hosemann!
Carnage swarms the ring as these six men battle each other, and the referee has
no choice but to throw this match out.
