PWA
OVERDRIVE

Fleet Center

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.

 

Segment 1 – Ringside

 

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!

 

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

 

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.

 

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

 

Segment 4 – Backstage

 

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.

 

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

 

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

Referee: Matt Hansen

 

“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!

 

Madsen: But the ref didn’t see it! Get him out Hansen!

 

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.
