PWA
OVERDRIVE
San Antonio,
TX
The PWA logo flashes onto the screen before fading away
into clips from the last edition of Frequency, including Jaguar’s tainted
victory over Jason Calysto, earning him a PWA title match at Animosity. The
opening montage for Overdrive airs next, and the Foo Fighters’ “All My Life”
blares over the loudspeakers and an incredible pyrotechnic display lights up
the SBC Center before the camera closes in on our announcers for the evening.
Cade: Hello everyone and welcome to PWA Overdrive! I’m Nick
Cade, alongside Rick Madsen, and what a week it has been in the Progressive
Wrestling Alliance Rick!
Madsen: What a week indeed! Greg Tantalus won the PWA
Championship from The Machine, Tony Annetta claimed the International
Championship from Kerry Cox, Jaguar beat Jason Calysto with some unwanted help
from the Lost Souls, and will face Tantalus at Animosity for the title!
Cade: Mike Griffin was also taken out by the Lost Souls,
Vulture, GI Jew and Trinity were all sidelined with injuries, and speaking of
The Machine, we will re-air the footage from Frequency in its entirety later in
this broadcast. But we get started tonight by heading to the ring for our first
match of the night!
Referee: Billy
Vargas
We head to the ring where we see up and comer Dean Nash
waiting in the ring for his opponent.
Cade: This is the first time Nash has been in a PWA ring. He's been
doing pretty well in the NYCW but can he handle his first superstar opponent?
Madsen: Very good point Nick, especially with his opponent being none
other than Henry Swanson.
At that very moment, "Hawaii Five-O" from The Ventures hits the
arena and out comes Swanson himself, enraged as ever.
Madsen: It doesn't really matter what day of the week it is for that one, he
is always angry.
Cade: That's right and that should prove to be a challenge for the rookie
Nash.
Immediately upon hitting the ring Swanson runs over to Nash and clotheslines
him down to the ground. He picks him up and delivers a crushing body
slam. Swanson then proceeds to stomp away at the downed Nash.
Cade: Swanson is having no mercy on Nash!
Madsen: Did you expect anything less?
Nash finally rolls out of the way and tries to mount a comeback. He
rushes Swanson, who ducks his initial attack, but Nash bounces off the ropes
and does a spinning heel kick that catches Swanson right in the side of the
head. Nash picks him up and delivers a jawbreaker and immediately runs
off the ropes and hits a big flipping leg drop.
Cade: Nash has actually taken the upper hand here in this
match! If he could capitalize on this advantage, he might very well win
this one!
Madsen: I don't know, I think Swanson still has something left. I
wouldn't count him out yet.
Amazingly, the high-flying Nash gets Swanson up for a suplex and hits
it. Nash then pulls the apparently out Swanson over to the turnbuckle.
Cade: Maybe I was wrong, Nash is signaling for his finisher, the
Dragon Attack!
Madsen: If he hits this, it's over!
With that, Nash heads to the top rope and spirals off, heading down to finish
this match for good. Just then, in the last second of Nash's rotation,
Swanson snaps out of unconsciousness and pulls in one of Nash's legs out of
midair! Swanson rolls with him and flips over into his dreaded inverted STF!
Cade: My God, did you see that? Swanson just used Nash's
momentum against him to get him into the Sexual Tension, his inverted STF
finisher!
Madsen: See! I told you he wasn't out! And Nash has nowhere to go in
the middle of the ring!
Swanson torques harder on Nash's neck and leg and the ref looks to Nash for
his decision. Nash is frantic, squirming on the floor looking for a way
out. Unfortunately for him, there is no way out and, unable to bear the
pain any longer, Nash taps!
Cade: That's it! It's over! Swanson has won it!
Madsen: But you've got to give a hand to Nash. He had a very nice
showing in his first PWA outing.
We are taken to the interview area, where Tracie Reed is
standing by with “The Miracle” Mike Troha and Daredevyl.
Reed: Mike Troha, Daredevyl, what we saw from you two on
Frequency was absolutely hideous! After Mike Griffin was taken out by the Lost
Souls; you proceeded to nearly destroy Loki. What do you have to say for
yourselves?
Troha: What a spitfire chick you are! Isn’t she a spitfire,
Daredevyl?
Daredevyl: Spitfire indeed “Miracle”.
Troha: Look what we did to Loki was something that punk had
coming. He cost me a win at Requiem, and he had to pay for it.
Reed: Well in any event, tonight you will go one-on-one
with “Superstar” Scott Hosemann in the main event. What do you have to say
about that?
Troha: I have to say “so what”! I almost hate to bring it
up, but Scott Hosemann hasn’t been a “Superstar” since I dumped him over that
Penn Station railing a year ago. I am the real “Superstar” around here. Hell,
I’m “The Miracle”, and tonight, I’ll show Scott Hosemann and especially you
that, Tracie.

nailing Jade with the Nightmare on Helms St. and pinning her on last week’s
Overdrive to retain the PWA Women’s Championship.
Segment 4,
Match 2 – PWA Women’s Championship – Allison Kelly © vs. Camieko
A bell sounds; and referee Jason Church climbs into the
ring as Eminem’s “White America” booms through the speakers. Allison Kelly
enters from the back, with her title strapped tightly around her slim waist and
a cocky look on her face. She hears an immense amount of boos as she strolls to
the squared circle, but those quickly dissipate once Juvenile’s “She Get It
From Her Mama” takes over. Camieko makes her entrance through the curtain, and
the crowd comes alive with excitement as the Hot Girl bounces down the ramp.
Cade: Camieko looks ready to go tonight.
Madsen: She missed some valuable ring time over the past
few weeks, and now she’s in there with the best the world has to offer. Let’s
see how she fares.
Camieko climbs in and Kelly takes her belt off and hands it
to Church, who holds it high into the air as the bell sounds. The ladies circle
the ring and lock up in the center, with Camieko gaining the early advantage
from a side headlock. She wrenches in and Kelly backs to the ropes, shoving her
to the other side. Camieko bounces off the cables and quickly floors the
champion with a shoulder tackle. Kelly quickly gets back up and runs into a
hiptoss, and the crowd buzzes again once she rolls out of the ring.
Cade: Allison doesn’t seem to have an answer for Camieko so
far.
Madsen: Just give her time to catch her breath.
Camieko goes to grab the champ by the hair, but Kelly pulls
her feet from under her and yanks her out to the floor. Kelly knees Camieko in
the ribs before Irish whipping her right into the ringpost! As Church’s count
nears 10, Kelly rolls the challenger into the ring and makes a cover for
1---2---and Camieko kicks out!
Madsen: Allison almost had her there.
Cade: She did, but Camieko is gonna make her work for a win
tonight.
Allison lifts Camieko back up by the hair, but the
challenger surprises her with a knee and a quick DDT! Camieko rolls Kelly over
and the fans begin to cheer once she climbs to the top rope! Camieko then jumps
off, rotating in full for the St. Kinard 450 Splash! She covers, one…two…and
Kelly gets her foot on the rope!
Cade: What a tough break for Camieko!
Madsen: Allison is still down though; she needs to
capitalize!
Camieko lifts Kelly back up in a front facelock. The
challenger goes for a vertical suplex, but Kelly floats behind her, grabs her
by the hair and slams her down in the Nightmare on Helms Street! The champion
covers, 1---2---3!
Madsen: Allison wins again!
Cade: She does, but what a tremendous effort from Camieko.
She’ll be a player in this women’s division for some time to come.
Winner via
pinfall at 5:00 and still PWA Women’s Champion – Allison Kelly
Segment 5 –
Backstage
A camera is now inside the dressing room of Tony Annetta, where
the International Champion is talking to D-Gunz, Sonny DiBono and James
Biamonte.
Sonny: You got a big title defense tonight champ.
Biamonte: I wouldn’t call 7-Any Power that big of a
challenge Sonny.
Sonny: I know, it’s just what you say though.
All four share hearty laughter until Annetta interrupts.
Annetta: You know what guys? I don’t think any of you will
be necessary out there. I’ll go this one alone.
Sonny: (Holding back laughter) Sure thing Tony. Give ‘em
hell man!
Annetta nods to all of his cohorts before exiting the room.

Cade: Alright fans, we promised you earlier in the show
that we would re-broadcast the events of this past Tuesday, where Bryan Conroy
came across some interesting video footage, with some help from his
half-brother, Chad Hasty.
The camera cuts to the office of Bryan Conroy, who is
sitting at his desk somberly. Suddenly,
the door swings open and in walks his half-brother Chad Hasty, carrying a VHS
tape.
Conroy: Hey Chad, what have you got
there?
Hasty: Well, I know this is kind of
illegal, but first, let me start by saying that since I’ve come here to the
PWA, I’ve been trying to follow your example and live up to my big bro.
Conroy: Just spit it out Chad.
Hasty: Well, I know you were going
through a lot of stress leading up to Requiem, wondering whether or not Machine
was going to accept the payoff from Sonny DiBono. Well, I know this isn’t right, but behind your back, I talked to
the people at Key Arena and had them install video cameras in the dressing
rooms of Sonny DiBono and of The Machine.
I didn’t think you’d go for it, and I’m sorry, but I felt it was worth
the shot. Now, I didn’t think it was
going to go anywhere, but we received this FedEx package earlier today that I
just now got a hold of, containing those very tapes. I’ve been watching them, with nothing going on, but take a look
at this one from DiBono dressing room about two hours before we went on the
air.
Hasty pops the tape in the Machine and the feed commences.
We see Sonny DiBono pacing in his dressing room, flanked by Tony Annetta,
D-Gunz, and James Biamonte. We then see
the door open and Mike Tortorici enter.
Tortorici: Is everything all set for
tonight?
DiBono: (smiling) Worked like a charm.
Tortorici: He didn’t take the bribe,
did he?
DiBono: Of course not. You’re lucky he didn’t too. I’m not paying him that kind of cash.
Tortorici: Don’t worry. I knew he wouldn’t. All we had to do was present this scenario
where he would need money so that people will believe him. That’s why I paid you to take out his little
brother. I know his family, I know his
brother has no insurance. And,
predictably, the burden fell right on Matt.
And Sonny, the idea to set him up with Stacie? Brilliant. I don’t know
how he’s reacting to the pregnancy news.
What’s the deal with that anyway?
DiBono: (smiling) Well you know who
Stacie really is? That bitch belongs to
D-Gunz right here.
D-Gunz: (grinning) And let’s just say,
D-Gunz don’t shoot blanks.
The men all share a hearty laugh.
Tortorici: Excellent. I also slipped Matt a note this afternoon
saying that someone in the locker room knows of his story and will share it
with the world whenever they see fit, so he’s probably a bundle of nerves right
now. I left a twelve-pack of Guinness
in his locker, so hopefully he’s indulged, the alcoholic that he is. I don’t see anyway he’s able to beat Greg
Tantalus, one way or another. In fact,
he’ll probably do enough out there, and be enough off his game, to condemn
himself to Hell.
DiBono: And what if he doesn’t?
Tortorici: (smiling) Simple. If he’s about to win, I’ll hit the ramp,
stare him down, and he’ll be frozen, not knowing what to do, and Tantalus will
take advantage. Don’t forget, I’ve cost
him this title before.
DiBono: Excellent. Now, there IS a matter you’re forgetting…
Tortorici: Say no more.
Tortorici then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a large number of
bills, handing them to DiBono and exiting the dressing room.
Back to live action, Bryan Conroy is stunned.
Conroy: Son of a bitch…
Segment 8,
Match 3 – International Championship – 7-Any Power vs. Tony Annetta ©
Referee: Matt
Hansen
Everclear’s “El Distorto de Melodica” begins over the PA
system, and the Texas crowd gives 7-Any Power a warm welcome as he walks to the
ring. As the challenger bounces off the ring ropes, “The Mirror” by Dream
Theater begins, and the brand new International Champion, Tony Annetta, emerges
to a plethora of boos. Annetta sees it fit to anger the crowd even more, and
does so by taking off his belt and holding it above his head for all to see.
Cade: Fans, if you missed it on Frequency, Tony Annetta
practically stole the International title from Kerry Cox.
Madsen: He had a little help from his boys, but that three
count will still be all that matters.
Cade: A little help?!?! It was basically four on one until
Hosemann got involved! It was a disgrace, but in any event, Annetta is the
official new champion, but he might not be for long, look at 7-Any Power go!
The bell sounds quickly, but 7AP has already begun to take
the fight to Annetta, staggering him with hard left hands and finally flooring
him with a dropkick! Annetta’s belt falls to the mat in the process, and
referee Matt Hansen scoops up the gold. The champion gets to a vertical base,
but Power stays on him with the left hands and Irish whips him to the ropes.
Annetta bounces off, and 7AP takes him down with a jumping clothesline! He
covers for one…two…and Annetta powers out!
Cade: Its obvious to me that Annetta took 7-Any Power too
lightly tonight.
Madsen: He might have, but its gonna take a lot more than
that to beat Annetta.
Power continues on his fast-paced assault by whipping
Annetta into a corner and standing on its middle rope. The crowd counts along
as Power nails Annetta with 10 left hands and cheers even more when he raises
his arms in jubilation, but those are quickly erased once Annetta springs out
of the corner and turns him inside out with a lariat!
Madsen: Now here we go. Power’s playtime is over.
An angry champion effortlessly tosses 7AP into a corner and
begins to kick his opponent in the ribs. Hansen tries to break things up, but
Annetta forcefully whips Power across to the other side, sending him
chest-first into the turnbuckles! Annetta poses for the crowd and makes a lazy
cover for 1---2---and Power kicks out!
Cade: I don’t know about that yet Rick. Power is still
fighting.
Annetta points to the crowd and signals that this match is
about to end, but Power surprises him with a shot to the gut, then another, and
another, and downs Annetta with a high knee lift! A dizzied 7AP then heads to
the top rope, but Annetta is already on his feet. Annetta gets closer, but the
challenger kicks him square in the face, spinning him around. Power waits for
Annetta to turn back around and flies off for an axe handle when he does, but
Annetta snatches him in mid-air and blasts him with a sickening spinebuster! He
covers, one…two…three!
Madsen: What a move! He calls that the Tommygun Nick!
Cade: It was an impressive spinebuster to say the least.
Wait a second, whats he doing now?
“The Mirror” replays, but shuts off once Annetta tosses his
title to the ground and stomps away on the fallen 7AP. It doesn’t last long
though, because “Brokensoul” Jon Brett rushes down the ramp and into the ring,
chasing Annetta out! “Forsure” by the Lost Prophets begins and Annetta coldly
stares Brett down as he exits up the ramp.
Winner via
pinfall at 6:17 and still PWA International Champion – Tony Annetta
Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.”
plays in the background as we see a package featuring a young black male as a
boxer. The video shows him using dazzling right and left-handed combinations,
flooring several opponents and sending mouthpieces flying in the process. Red
lettering then flashes onto the screen reading: “Showtime” Damon Savage: Coming soon to the PWA.

Segment 10 -
Backstage
We are taken inside the locker room of Scott Hosemann, where
“The Hardcore Icon” Kerry Cox is talking to his partner.
Cox: You ready Scott?
Hosemann: Born ready man. But hey Kerry, I’m sorry you lost
your belt the other night. I tried—
Cox: Say no more Scott. There was nothing else you could
do. Those bastards all conspired to get it from me, but rest assured that I
will get it back sooner than later. You saw what they did earlier, you want me
out there?
Hosemann: Well normally, I would say no. But seeing what
they did earlier and what Troha and Daredevyl did to Loki on Tuesday, I guess
that having someone to watch your back is the way to go. Whaddya say?
Cox: I’m there. Let’s go.
Cade: It looks as though Kerry Cox will accompany Scott
Hosemann in his match tonight.
Madsen: Better to be safe than sorry I guess.
Cade: Sounds right to me, but folks, we have some huge live
events coming your way soon. Tickets will be going on sale for events in Kansas
City, Minneapolis and Chicago soon, accompanied with a few of our PWA
Superstars as they meet and greet their fans.
Madsen: That’s right. The two men we are about to see,
Kerry Cox and Scott Hosemann will both be in Chicago, the vivacious Dee Licious
will appear in Kansas City, and I, Rick Madsen, will sign autographs in
Minneapolis, Minnesota along with Jenny Ottati and some guy named Loki.
Cade: You know full well who Loki is, but this Thursday,
tickets will go on sale for PWA Animosity at the Savvis Center in St. Louis,
Missouri. And the superstar that will appear there is none other than “The
Iceman” himself, Jason Calysto!
Madsen: That will be a big event, no doubt.
Segment 12,
Match 4- Main Event – “The Miracle” Mike Troha vs. “Superstar” Scott Hosemann
Referee: Jose
Soares
We head back to the ring as referee Jose Soares climbs in and
ring announcer Lee Palmer does the same as At The Drive-In’s “Arcarsenal”
plays. Two streams of gold fireworks flow from the ceiling to the floor as
Palmer begins to speak.
Palmer: This match is scheduled for one fall. First, on his
way to the ring and accompanied by Daredevyl, from Binghamton, New York,
weighing 220 pounds, he is “The Miracle” Mike Troha!
Boos flood throughout the SBC Center as Troha and Daredevyl
make their way to the ring. Troha steps inside, leaving Daredevyl on the arena
floor as Saliva’s “Superstar II” hits next.
Palmer: And his opponent, being accompanied by Kerry Cox,
from Daytona Beach, Florida, weighing 250 pounds, “Superstar” Scott Hosemann!
Cox and Hosemann arrive to the loudest cheers of the night,
but Hosemann wastes no time in rolling into the ring and immediately attacking
Troha! The bell sounds and Troha quickly comes back in the slugfest with right
hands of his own. Hosemann wins the battle with a hard right hand that sends
Troha backwards and right out to the arena floor!
Cade: Listen to this crowd Rick!
Madsen: Troha needs to block them out and regroup right
here. Hosemann caught him off guard.
After consulting with his bodyguard, Troha rolls back into
the ring. Faking a lock-up, Troha hits a sharp knee to the gut and clubs
Hosemann in the back. Hosemann retains his balance, but Troha quickly takes it
away with a gutwrench suplex. Troha floats into a quick pin, but Hosemann kicks
out at 1. “The Miracle” presses the advantage by stomping the back of Hosemann
and challenging Soares to disqualify him after an overt chokehold.
Cade: he needs to watch himself before he gets DQ’d.
Madsen: He’s “The Miracle”! You can’t DQ a miracle!
Troha breaks the hold before the five count, and lifts
Hosemann for a high vertical suplex, which he hits. Troha then positions
himself on the middle rope and mocks Hosemann by attempting a diving elbow drop
from it, but Hosemann rolls out of the way! Both men get up and Hosemann
plasters Troha with two right hands before whipping him to the ropes and
hitting him with a belly-to-belly throw! Hosemann then positions himself on the
middle rope and connects with the elbow drop that Troha was looking for!
Hosemann hooks the far leg and Soares counts one…two…and Troha kicks out!
Cade: Hosemann is on fire right now!
Madsen: Not for long, look at Daredevyl!
The bodyguard climbs atop the ring apron and Soares
attempts to get him down, but Hosemann inadvertently whips Troha towards the
ropes and he knocks the referee down in the process! Soares crumples to the mat
as Daredevyl falls from the apron, and Troha turns around right into a
Superstar Stunner! Hosemann covers, but
there is no official to count the fall! Kerry Cox darts to the other side to
revive the ref, but James Biamonte, Anthony Annetta and D-Gunz run down to the
ring!
Cade: Oh no! Somebody get these guys outta here!
Madsen: Who?! I know I’m not!
Cox reaches Soares, but runs into the ring to face his
enemies. Hosemann trades fists with Biamonte as D-Gunz and Annetta obliterate
Cox. Daredevyl takes the time to grab a chair from ringside and he bashes
Hosemann in the back with it, allowing him to stumble right into Biamonte’s
Buzzkill! Cox is thrown over the top rope and to the floor as a brand new
official, Jason Church, runs in the ring. Troha places an arm over Hosemann and
Church counts one……two…..thre-but Hosemann gets a shoulder up!
Madsen: How the hell did he get that shoulder up!
Cade: I don’t know, but these fans aren’t giving up on
Hosemann yet!
Madsen: Hosemann didn’t have enough to kick out. It’s just
a matter of time before he’s done.
Troha pounds the mat in frustration, and then picks a
lifeless Hosemann up. Hosemann cannot even get his arms up to defend himself,
and Troha grabs him by the arms and nails a Suburban Slam! Troha rolls him over
and covers. Church counts 1,2,3!
Madsen: Its over! Finally.
Cade: What an effort by Hosemann, but something has to be
done about Sonny’s group. This has gone on long enough!
“Arcarsenal” hits again, and Daredevyl raises the arm of the
victorious Troha. D-Gunz, Biamonte and Annetta all backpedal up the ramp, where
the camera catches Sonny at the top, laughing as Overdrive fades to black.
