PWA
OVERDRIVE
Boston, MA
June 21, 2003
The PWA logo flashes onto
the screen before fading away into the opening for Overdrive. The Foo Fighters’
“All My Life” blares throughout the FleetCenter as our commentators speak over
the dazzling fireworks show.
Cade: Hello
everybody and welcome to PWA Overdrive! I‘m Nick Cade, and Rick Madsen, how
does it feel to be here in Beantown?
Madsen: Seeing as I’m a
diehard Yankee fan, not so good. But besides that, we have a tremendous show
lined up tonight! After the challenge was issued on Frequency, we’ll see Romeo
and Camieko team up for the first time in months to face Dee Licious and Mike
Grieco!
Cade: That’s
gonna be a great one. We also have Justice slated to go one-on-one with James
Biamonte, but lets send things up to our ring announcer, Lee Palmer.
Palmer: Ladies
and gentlemen, please welcome the PWA International Champion, The Omega Steve
Beeee-ovich!
White Zombie’s
“More Human Than Human” begins and the hated Beovich arrives to a surprisingly
mixed reaction.
Madsen: What a
pleasant surprise!
Cade: Listen to
the reaction Beovich is getting here in his hometown.
Madsen: He’s the best thing
to happen to this city since Cheers went off the air.
Cade: Cheers was
a great show!
Madsen: (Long
pause) Sure it was Nick.
Beovich is
handed the mic from Palmer and begins to speak.
Beovich: Well
here I am, back home in Boston! (Crowd cheers) As bad as D.C. was on Tuesday,
after coming back here, I can honestly say...I wish I never left. (Crowd boos)
Oh face it guys, you’re in a town of losers! Think about it. The Bruins are
always a disappointment, the Celtics might as well fold, the Patriots proved
they were a fluke, and don’t get me started on those Red Sox. (Crowd boos
passionately)
Madsen: Yeah
Steve! Go Yanks!
Beovich: Even
though it’s disappointing to know I’m from here, I still decided to grace you
with my presence. I just want the young people of Boston to realize that its
not to late; you don’t have to accept mediocrity and become a loser too. Just
follow what I do in the ring tonight. That’s right, I’m issuing an open
challenge to anybody in the back. If you want to be International Champion,
c’mon down and lose in front of everyone.
Cade: What?!
Beovich is actually putting the title on the line, on purpose?!
Madsen: Hey,
he’s a fighting champ Nick.
Beovich:
Somebody, anybody, step right up for your shot at the champ!
The crowd’s buzz
is snapped once “Arcarsenal” by At The Drive-In begins and Mike Troha and
Daredevyl hit the ramp!
Cade: Troha just
came out! I think he’ll accept the challenge!
Madsen: Wait
just a second Nick. Let’s hear him out first.
Troha: Hold your
horses Steve. I am not out here to wrestle you for the International
Championship. Frankly, these Bostonian chumps don’t even deserve to see a title
match!
Beovich: So why
are you out here Troha?
Troha: Simple; I
want to team up with you tonight. You see, I helped you put away Jon Brett on
Frequency, and I want to rid myself of that thorn in my side right here
tonight! Whaddya say?
Beovich: Me and
you, against Brett and a partner? Sounds good to me.
Troha: Great.
I’ll see you in the ring tonight; champ.
Madsen: Troha
and Beovich in the same ring? I know Brett won’t turn that down!
Cade: He
certainly won’t, but I wonder who his partner will be!

Segment 2,
Match 1 – Dee Licious and Mike Grieco vs. Camieko and Romeo
Referee: Jason
Church
Juvenile’s “She
Get It From Her Mama” begins, sparking a warm reception from the fans.
Palmer: The next
contest is an intergender tag team match and is scheduled for one fall! First,
making her way to the ring from Richmond, Virginia, she is Camieko!
Camieko climbs
into the ring and bounces off the ropes as 3 D-Bombs explode on impact with the
ramp and “Magic Stick” by Lil’ Kim and 50 Cent takes over.
Palmer: And her
partner, hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 258 pounds, “Da Playboy”
Rooooo-meo!
Romeo arrives to
a big pop from the crowd and hi-fives Camieko before posing on the turnbuckles,
until “P.I.M.P. by 50 Cent begins.
Palmer: and
their opponents, making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 363
pounds, the team of Dee Licious and Mike Grieco!
Grieco and Dee
look wary of their opponents as they step into the ring, but that is quickly
diminished once Camieko shocks Dee with a takedown!
Cade: Here we
go! These ladies HATE one another!
Madsen:
Chickfight! Chickfight!
The bell sounds
as Camieko continues to pound Dee’s head on the canvas. Grieco tries to pry her
off, but Romeo charges over and clotheslines him over the top rope so hard that
both men spill over!
Church finally
manages to get Camieko off of Dee, but the Hot Girl grabs Dee up by the hair.
Dee swings a wild right hand that connects with Camieko’s side, breaking her
grip. Dee then calls for the Tease, looking for an early end to the bout. Dee
grabs Camieko, but she’s shoved back to the ropes, kicked in the stomach, and
downed with a DDT!
Cade: Look at
the action outside the ring!
Madsen: This is
just a Pier 6 brawl now!
The camera cuts
to the outside, where Grieco whips Romeo towards the ring steps, but the whip
is reversed and Grieco crashes into the steel! Back in the ring, Camieko drags
Dee towards a corner and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Flashbulbs pop as she
dives off and connects with her 450-degree St. Kinard Splash! Camieko hooks a
leg for one…two…three!
Madsen: What the
hell? It’s over?!
Cade: Camieko
has scored a win over Dee, but this fight between Romeo and Grieco is not over!
Church raises
the arm of Camieko, but Grieco and Romeo continue to tussle on the arena floor
until a dozen PWA officials rush in to break it up.
Winners via
pinfall at 2:17 – Camieko and Romeo
Segment 3 –
Backstage
A camera is now
inside the dressing room of Justice and GI Jew, where the usual bodyguard is
preparing for his match as Jew and Walter Gindin look on.
Jew: Justice, I
don’t mean to say it again, but you’ve gotta win tonight man.
Justice: You’re
right. You really don’t need to say it again.
Jew: Hold on big
man. I had a chance to win the PWA Tag Team Titles and become the first Grand
Slam winner this company has ever seen, and you had to go screw it up! You owe
me a win tonight! Besides, you’re fighting James Biamonte, and if anybody knows
how much I hate him, its you. He screwed me out of the CAW Intercontinental
title time and time again, but now I’m in the driver’s seat as the PWA
Champion.
Justice: Look
Josh, are you done yet man?
Jew: Yeah I’m
done. You just make sure you win.
Justice: Don’t
worry. I’ll win a lot better than you never did.
GI Jew can only
sneer at his bodyguard as Justice exits the room for the ring.

BREAK-
A camera trails
Jon Brett as he is in search of a dressing room. Brokensoul stops at one, smiles
and opens the door. The cameraman peeks inside, but cannot see past the 6’4”
superstar.
Brett: Hey man.
Look, I know you saw what Troha and Beovich said earlier. They want to team up
to take me out. When I look over the list of potential partners, nobody knows
more about either Beovich , or especially Troha, than you. So are you in?
The camera moves
around Brett to find Loki sitting on a bench!
Loki: Me and you against Troha and Brett? You got it.
Loki and Brett
shake hands and Brokensoul exits the dressing room all smiles.
Segment 5,
Match 2 – James Biamonte vs. Justice
Referee: Jose
Soares
“2 of Amerika’s
Most Wanted” by 2Pac and Snoop Dogg explodes through the speakers, and James
Biamonte emerges to his usual negative fan reaction. As he climbs into the
ring, the Urban Assault remix of Limpbizkit’s “Rollin” hits and Justice walks
out to a mirrored reaction.
Cade: To the best of my
knowledge, this is the first meeting between these two.
Madsen: It should be a good
one. This is a classic power vs. speed match here.
The bell sounds
and both men lock up. Justice easily wins out with a knee to the gut and he
clubs Biamonte down to the canvas. Justice lifts him to his feet and Irish
whips him across the ring, but Biamonte dives right for Justice’s knees,
cutting the big man down to size! Justice crumples to the canvas and Biamonte
wastes no time in attacking his legs, draping one across the bottom rope and
jumping down on the knee.
Madsen: Biamonte
is just chopping that big redwood down to size right now!
Cade: For a guy
as big as Justice is, that isn’t a bad strategy at all.
Biamonte grips
Justice in a side leg lock, causing the bodyguard to grimace in pain. Justice
grabs the bottom rope and Biamonte breaks the hold, only to continue to stomp
the left knee of Justice. Biamonte gets Justice back to his feet and grabs him
for the JB Cutter. Justice fights it, but Biamonte brings him down with the
move! Biamonte covers for 1---2----and Justice kicks out! Biamonte looks at
Soares in anguish, until the spotlight shines atop the ramp for Sonny DiBono!
Madsen: What is
Sonny doing here?!
Cade: Looks like
he has a vested interest in this match.
Biamonte heads
towards Sonny, but stops at the ropes to shout at him from afar. Sonny simply
folds his arms and smiles as Justice slowly gets to his feet. DiBono points for
Biamonte to turn around and he does--only to find a boot to the face from
Justice! Justice peels Biamonte from the canvas and crushes him with a Blind
Justice powerbomb for a count of 1---2---3!
Cade: Justice
has just won this match, thanks to that huge powerbomb!
Madsen: He sure
has, but we can only think about what would have happened if Sonny never came
out here.
“Rollin’”
replays and Justice begins to exit as Sonny shrugs, smiles and walks behind the
curtain.
Winner via
pinfall at 4:05 – Justice
Segment 6 –
Backstage
A camera is now positioned
in a hallway, where The Miracle Mike Troha, Daredevyl and The Omega Steve
Beovich are heading to the ring. The three men look cohesive, determined to
bring down Jon Brett and Loki in just a few moments.

Segment 7 –
Ringside
Cade: Well fans,
we are only two weeks away from the big pay-per-view extravaganza known as
Meltdown!
Madsen: The
First Union Center sold out in just 3 hours Nick! Philadelphia is ready for
Meltdown!
Cade: They certainly are. As
of right now, the only match announced for Meltdown is for the PWA World
Heavyweight Championship. Jason Calysto defeated Mike Tortorici in a number one
contenders’ match to earn his spot against GI Jew at Meltdown, but Jaguar
returned later in the Frequency broadcast and has made that match a triple
threat!
Madsen: That
will be a crazy match Nick. Those three, at the same time will be tremendous.
Cade: To our
fans in the New York City area, this Tuesday, tickets will go on sale for the
first-ever outdoor PWA event, which will be held at Rockefeller Center. Fans in the area can meet the PWA Women’s
Champion Jenny Ottati in person at Radio City Music Hall, starting at 12 noon!
Madsen: Maybe
I’ll go down there Nick. New York is the home of the Yankees you know.
Cade: Oh jeez.
Segment 8,
Match 3 – Mike Troha and Steve Beovich vs. Loki and Jon Brett
“Arcarsenal” begins to
replay and two streams of gold pyro fall to the ramp as Lee Palmer begins to
speak.
Palmer: The next
tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! First, being accompanied by
Daredevyl, making his way to the ring from Binghamton, New York, weighing in at
220 pounds, The Miracle Mike Trooooo-ha!
Troha arrives to
the same reaction he heard earlier, and seems to soak it up as he climbs into
the ring. “More Human Than Human” plays next, and the FleetCenter crowd groans
in unison.
Palmer: And his
partner, hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing 205 pounds, he is the PWA
International Champion, The Omega Steve Beeeee-ovich!
Beovich steps
out to a cascade of boos, which intensify as he taunts the fans from the ring.
Beovich and Troha talk strategy as “Edge Of The Earth” by 30 Seconds to Mars
blasts through the speakers.
Palmer: And
their opponents, at a total combined weight of 495 pounds, the team of
Brokensoul Jon Brett and Looooo-ki!
Brett and Loki
arrive to a thunderous pop, but look totally unfazed as they dart to the ring.
Troha and Beovich roll out, leaving their opponents enough time to pose for
their fans.
Cade: What a
reaction for Jon Brett and Loki Rick!
Madsen: Its only
Boston, they’re fickle.
Things settle
down and Brett climbs in to start off with Beovich. The bell rings and they lock
up in the center of the ring. Brett powers the smaller Beovich back into a
corner, and breaks when Hansen says to. The tie up again, and Beovich nails a
knee to the gut. Beovich follows with a punch to the head and floors Brett with
a knee lift.
The fans boo as
Beovich begins an assault, stomping Brett back to a corner. Beovich lifts him
up and stings him with a reverse knife-edge chop, but that only serves to wake
up Brett, who explodes out of the corner with a clothesline!
Cade: What a
clothesline!
Madsen: Man, he
nearly knocked his head off!
Beovich retreats
to his corner for a tag, but Troha wants no part of Brett. Brett has seen
enough and starts towards the champion, but Beovich grabs his trunks and yanks
him down to the turnbuckles! Brett hits hard, but Beovich follows up with a
dropkick to the back of the head. Brett falls down to the mat and Beovich tags
in an eager Miracle.
Cade: And now
Troha wants to get in there when Brett is down.
Madsen: Veteran
move Nick.
Troha enters the
ring and goes right to work on Brett, punching and kicking him into oblivion.
Troha lifts Brett up off the mat and slams him down before climbing to the
middle turnbuckle and connecting with an elbow drop! Troha covers for
one…two…and a kickout!
Troha gets up
and calls for the end of Brett’s night. Loki gets the crowd into it as Troha
scoops Brett up for Divine Intervention, but Brokensoul slips out, spins Troha
around and nails a chokeslam! Brett begins to crawl towards his corner for a
tag, but Beovich enters in a hurry. Hansen scolds Beovich, and the crowd comes
alive as Loki is tagged in!
Cade: Loki is
in!
Loki peppers
both Troha and Beovich with rights and lefts, eventually flooring both. Loki
grabs Troha for a Morning Star, but Hansen tells him he is not the legal man. A
disappointed Loki lets go of the move and argues as Beovich clips Brett and
Troha sets him up for Blind Faith.
Madsen: Troha is
putting him in Blind Faith! This one is sure to be over!
Beovich is still
in the ring and charges Loki as Troha locks on the move. Brett squirms for the
ropes, but they are too far away! Loki shoves Hansen aside and back body drops
Beovich right over the top rope onto Daredevyl! Loki then measures Troha and blasts
his wide-open face with an Atheist superkick, knocking him cold!
Cade: Loki just
connected with the Atheist! Pin him Jon!
Madsen: Pull him
out champ!
Troha hits the
deck hard and Brett begins to crawl towards him. Brokensoul places an arm over
Troha’s chest for one…two…three!
Cade: Yes! Yes!
Yes!
Madsen: Dammit!
See Nick, this is Boston’s fault!
Beovich drags
Troha from the ring as “Forsure” by the Lost Prophets hits the PA system. Loki
pulls Brett up and the two celebrate as Overdrive fades to black.
Winners via
pinfall at 7:48 – Jon Brett and Loki
