PWA
OVERDRIVE
ALLTEL Arena
Little Rock,
Arkansas
The PWA logo flashes onto
the screen before getting right into the opening for Overdrive. With “All My
Life” by the Foo Fighters playing, we are taken inside the ALLTEL Arena, where
an explosive fireworks display ensues before the camera closes in on our
commentators for the night.
Cade: Hello everybody and
welcome to PWA Overdrive! I’m Nick Cade, here with Rick Madsen, and we have an
incredible show lined up for you tonight!
Madsen: That’s right.
Allison Kelly will face Dee Licious for the Women’s title, and how about that
main event?
Cade: Romeo will go one on
one with GI Jew, and both Jaguar and Solomon are barred from ringside! That
should be interesting, and Da Banditz will also be in action, but our producer
is saying that they are with Tracie Reed right now. Take it away Trace.
We are taken
right behind the curtain, where reporter Tracie Reed is standing by with Da
Banditz.
Reed: Jermaine,
Charles, I heard that you requested this interview time. What’s on your mind
guys?
Walker: Tracie,
we’re on next, so we have to be short and sweet. We don’t wanna be known as
Charles Walker and Jermaine Harris anymore. This here is my boy Gunna, and
ya’ll can call me Rebel.
Gunna: That cool
with you?
Reed: Not a
problem at all. Good luck tonight.
Segment 3,
Match 1 – Da Banditz vs. Dean Nash and Greg Price
Referee: Jason
Church
“Banditz” by
southern group Jim Crow explodes through the PA system, and Da Banditz arrive
to a raucous pop from the fans. Price and Nash stretch out in the ring as the
two PWA newcomers take their places in the squared circle.
Cade: As we saw
earlier, Da Banditz want to be known as Rebel and Gunna from now on.
Madsen: I dig
those names, but let’s see if they can get it done in the ring tonight. Price
and Nash are no pushovers.
The bell sounds
and Rebel starts things off against Nash. The lock up and Rebel executes a fast
go-behind before taking Nash down to the mat. Nash rolls out of his grip and
both men reach their feet, only for Rebel to take control with a dropkick. Nash
gets up to feel another dropkick before Rebel takes him down in an armbar.
Rebel keeps the
armbar tight as he tags in Gunna. Rebel holds Nash’s arm just long enough for
Gunna to nail a kick to the ribs. Nash falls to the canvas and Gunna gets a two
count on a pin attempt. Gunna then lifts Nash up by the arm, but the crafty
Nash breaks it with a thumb to the eye and tags in the bigger Greg Price as the
fans jeer.
Price catches
Gunna off guard and barrels him backwards into a corner. He follows up with two
quick shoulder thrusts and backs up. Price begins to charge, but Gunna gets his
boots up and Price runs right into them! Gunna sprints out of the corner and
takes Price down with a crushing bulldog headlock and covers for one…two…and
Nash breaks up the count!
Cade: Good move
by Dean Nash there.
Madsen: More
like a necessary move to me.
Rebel re-enters
the ring to thwart Nash, but Jason Church stops him. Rebel pleads his case, and
an overzealous Nash charges towards him and Church, but Rebel pushes the
official away and backdrops Nash right over the top rope! Price gets to his
feet slowly, but Rebel hits a jumping kick high while Gunna leg sweeps him low,
completing Total Elimination! Gunna hooks the leg for a count of
one...two…three!
Cade: Its over!
What an impressive win for Da Banditz!
Madsen: Well they’re still
new here, but if they’re on like they were on tonight, they could be a force to
be reckoned with.
Cade: With that said, let’s
turn things back over to Tracie, who is standing by with Allison Kelly.
Reed: Thanks guys. Allison,
you are moments away from your Women’s title rematch against Dee. I talked to
her earlier, and she said she will bring her own insurance policy, in the form
of Mike Grieco, to the ring with her. How do you feel about this?
Kelly: Honestly
Tracie, I could care less. Dee got lucky at Everlasting Epic and walked out of
New Orleans with the title. That’s all fine and good, but I know Dee Licious
cannot beat me one on one; and that’s with or without Grieco. If he wants to
come down and watch me beat her ass, so be it. But I will not leave this
building without the Women’s title on account of him or anyone else. I’m going
out there to get my title back.
-COMMERCIAL
BREAK-
A camera is now in a
backstage hallway, where Da Banditz are happily discussing their victory
earlier. Both are conversing when they stop in their tracks. The camera turns
left, revealing Jaguar and Romeo standing in their way. The crowd can be heard
cheering as the Hot Boy$ and Banditz stare coldly at one another. The silence
is finally broken when Jaguar takes his tag team title belt from his shoulder
and extends his hand to Rebel. Rebel and Gunna look at one another and Rebel
reciprocates the handshake.
Jaguar: Good job
out there guys.
Romeo: (Shaking
hands with Gunna) Welcome to the big time, and good luck. Because around here,
you’re gonna need it.
Both hot Boy$
and both Banditz shake hands with one another and the Hot Boy$ walk past the
young tad team, leaving a marveled Gunna and Rebel in their wake.
Segment 6,
Match 2 – PWA Women’s Championship – Dee Licious w/ Mike Grieco © vs. Allison
Kelly
Referee: Matt
Hansen
“White America”
by Eminem bursts through the speakers and the crowd gives a favorable reaction
to Allison Kelly as she strolls down to the ring.
Cade: Allison is
very unfamiliar to being a challenger in title matches. She has yet to lose a
title match as a challenger, but she almost looks naked without that belt
around her waist.
Madsen: Oh the
mere thought gets my blood pressure rising, amongst other things.
Cade: Yeah I
bet.
Kelly climbs
into the ring and turns back towards the ramp, where Dee Licious and Mike
Grieco arrive, sound tracked by Trina and Ludacris’ “B R Right”. Dee doesn’t
look worried in the least with Grieco at her side, but neither does Allison as
she calls for the champion to enter the ring.
Cade: Can Dee do
anything without Mike Grieco present?
Madsen: Sure she
could, but Allison is probably the best in the company. If anything, Grieco is
a potential insurance policy like she said. Who says he’s even going to lift a
finger tonight?
Dee climbs in
and the bell sounds as both ladies lock up. Kelly takes a quick advantage with
a side headlock and Dee squirms, but the challenger squeezes tighter to keep
the titleholder in place. Dee grabs at Allison’s hair and backs her to the ropes.
Hansen calls for a break, but Dee manages to shove Kelly across the ring.
Hansen admonishes the champion, but Grieco trips Kelly from the outside,
causing feverish boos.
Cade: Oh come
on! What was that you were saying about him not lifting a finger out here?
Madsen: Eh.
Nobody’s perfect.
Kelly tries to
get up, but Dee springs forward, planting a foot hard in her back. Dee takes
control, pounding away on Kelly with all her might. Dee begins to choke the
challenger, but Hansen manages to angrily pry her off. Hansen once again gets
in the face off Dee, which allows Grieco to hang Kelly’s neck over the middle
rope as she flails for an escape.
Grieco lets go
and Dee goes back on the attack, jumping on Kelly’s back before going for a
pin. Hansen gets 1---2---and a kickout! Dee grabs her in a tight chinlock and
the crowd begins to rally behind the challenger. Kelly gets to her feet and
elbows her way out, but another trip by Grieco finally catches Hansen’s eye.
The referee pokes his head through the ropes to scold him, but its not needed
once Paul Dawkins storms down the ramp and clubs Grieco from behind!
Cade: Just like
everyone else, Dawkins has seen enough of this from Grieco!
Dawkins and
Grieco brawl feverishly, and Dee goes into a panic without her man at ringside.
She puts Kelly’s head back across the middle rope and jumps for another shot to
the back, but Kelly moves out of the way! Dee springs off the ropes and hits
the mat hard, and the cheers grow even higher once a rejuvenated Kelly calls
for the Raunchinator!
Cade: She’s
calling for the Raunchinator Rick!
Madsen: Dee is
panicking in there; I don’t think she can get up if Allison hits it!
Kelly slowly
stalks Dee as she gets up and she clutches her for the Raunchinator, but Dee
quickly escapes from it by turning and barreling Kelly into a corner! The
challenger staggers out of the corner and Dee grabs her for the Tease, but
Kelly elbows her in the stomach, grabs her by the head and drives her down with
the Raunchinator! Kelly makes a lateral press without hooking the leg and she
gets one…two…three!
Cade: New champ!
Allison has won the Women’s title three times and Dee Licious just got
Raunchinated!
Madsen: Dee
seemed to unravel a bit once Grieco brawled outta here, and that lack of focus
cost her dearly.
“White America”
replays and Kelly reclaims her championship belt, draping it over her shoulder
and exiting to a respectful amount of cheers.
Winner via
pinfall at 6:55 and new PWA Women’s Champion – Allison Kelly
Segment 7 –
Ringside
Cade: Fans, it
is my pleasure to announce the first annual PWA year-end awards will be coming
to Overdrive next week in San Antonio, Texas!
Madsen: That’s right, for
the first time ever, there will be awards given out for various accomplishments
that took place during the first year of PWA action.
Cade: Just so no
one is confused, the awards will cover everything from the day we opened our
doors in August of 2002 all the way till August 8, 2003, because Everlasting
Epic is considered the beginning of our PWA year. These are the categories, and
the nominees will be announced this Tuesday on Frequency!

We are taken backstage to
the Hot Boy$ dressing room, where Romeo is getting ready for his match.
Jaguar: Man, you
see that? We gotta win tag team of the year. We had three title reigns last
year, not to mention the good start for this one. Anyway cuz, its almost showtime out there. You ready?
Romeo: Oh yeah,
I’m good. This cat wants to hit me with a chair outta nowhere? Let’s see what
he can do face-to-face.
Jaguar: Well
I’ll be back here. It’s a good thing Conroy banned Solomon from ringside,
because my back is still killin’ me from Tuesday man.
Romeo: I don’t
totally trust Solomon staying back, especially after what I’m gonna do to his
boy. Watch the match. If something goes down, you know the drill.
Jaguar: No
doubt. Give Jew’s punk ass one for me cuz.
Romeo: Do you
even have to ask?
Romeo exits the dressing
room, and Jaguar pulls his chair closer to the TV screen to watch the main
event.

Segment 9 –
Ringside
Cade: Folks,
earlier we told you about the PWA Awards next week, but now let’s talk about
the big PWA event next month. Of course, I’m talking about PWA Walking Wounded,
from Phoenix, Arizona on September 13.
Madsen: That’s right Nick.
Tickets go on sale at the America West Arena box office this Thursday at noon,
and its gonna be extremely hot down there. Probably 120 or 160 or whatever it
is in the desert, but I think the people will come out anyway, because at the
box office, in person, will be none other than the brand new PWA World
Heavyweight Champion, Mike Griffin!
Cade: I know the
Impulse is looking forward to that, and rumor has it that his opponent for
Walking Wounded will be determined this Tuesday on Frequency. I don’t know what
Bryan Conroy has planned for that, but tune in and find out this week.
Madsen: Speaking
of Walking Wounded, there will be one person that won’t show up, because she
began the week on the PWA roster, but wasn’t there at the end of the week.
Cade: You have
got to be talking about the one and only Magnifica. She was involved in a
career-ending match against Jade this past Tuesday, and needless to say, she
didn’t enjoy the outcome. Let’s roll that footage guys.
All eyes turn
toward the entrance ramp as Vulture emerges, steel chair in tow! The fans
are horrified as to what might happen here, recalling the events of PWA
Animosity some three months ago, when Vulture used a steel chair to turn on
Jade and join forces with Magnifica in a nearly identical scenario. With
the referee still down, Vulture slides into the ring, perching himself over
Jade with the chair as she begins to rise. Jade and Magnifica rise
simultaneously and Vulture rears back... spinning around and nailing Magnifica
right in the face with the chair!
Troy: Oh my God! Oh my God! Vulture just blasted Magnifica!
Ferrara: I don't believe this!
The Baton Rouge fans explode with cheers as Vulture tosses the chair to the
mat and pushes Jade onto Magnifica, a wide smile on his face. Referee
Jason Church comes to and begins his count... one, two, three!
Troy: Yes! Yes! There it is! It's over! Magnifica
is finished!
Ferrara: Unbelievable!
Kidneythieves' "Zerospace" hits the speakers and the fans go
ballistic, celebrating not only Jade's victory, but also Magnifica's
defeat. Jade soaks in the moment and heads backstage victorious as
Vulture rolls into the ring, grabbing a microphone. The music stops and
Magnifica stumbles to her feet, staring right into Vulture's eyes, in disbelief
at what just happened. Before Magnifica can say a word, Vulture raises
the microphone to his face.
Vulture: (singing slowly and deliberately) Na na na na. Na na na
na. Hey hey hey! Goodbye!
With that, the entire arena joins along, serenading Magnifica as she is
forced to make her final departure. Amidst the singing, Magnifica becomes
enraged and attempts to slap Vulture in the face. However, Vulture
catches her arm, grabs her by the wrist and begins leading her out of the
ring! With a death grip of Magnifica's wrist, Vulture leads Magnifica up
the ramp and behind the curtain, the cameras following them backstage.
Magnifica spews unintelligible gibberish at Vulture as they walk, pleading with
him to reconsider and begging him to help her get her contract back.
Finally the two reach the back exit of the arena and Vulture kicks the door
open with his foot, standing in its path to hold it open.
Magnifica: Please Mike! Please! Don't do this! I'm
sorry! I'm sorry for everything! One more chance! C'mon, you
can help me! You can help me get my contract back! We can start
over! I know we can! It'll be great! Me and you, just like old
times! What do ya say?! C'mon! Let's just talk about
this! Let's get something to eat and just talk about this!
Vulture: (coldly) Maybe some other time.
With that, Vulture shoves Magnifica out of the open door, the now former
PWA superstar falling to the ground and hitting the cold concrete with a
thud. Vulture then walks back into the arena, letting the door close with
a loud bang, putting the final end to one very hellacious chapter in his life
as the cameras, along Magnifica's career, fade to black.
Referee: Tom
Stevens
Cade: Man oh man; I can’t
get enough of that clip.
Madsen: Most
people can’t.
Ring announcer
Lee Palmer climbs into the ring as “Refuse/Resist” blares through the speakers,
signaling the arrival of one of the most hated men to ever hit the mats.
Palmer: This next contest is
scheduled for one fall! First, being accompanied by “Superagent” Walter Gindin,
making his way to the ring from Queens, New York, and weighing 236 pounds,
G…I…Jewwww!
Jew rides his
Harley out to a cascade of boos from the crowd, and Gindin follows him down the
ramp after his client speeds to the ring. Jew parks the bike and climbs in as
Lil’ Kim and 50 Cent’s “Magic Stick” takes over and 3 D-Bombs explode on impact
with the ramp.
Palmer: And his opponent,
from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 258 pounds, he is one-half of the PWA World Tag
Team Champions, “Da Playboy” Rooooo-meoooo!
Romeo arrives to
a big pop from the fans and wastes no time in handing his title belt to Stevens
and going blow for blow with GI Jew! Stevens calls for the bell as Romeo blocks
a Jew right hand, and follows with two of his own before backing Jew to the
ropes and clotheslining him over the top rope to the floor!
Cade: Romeo is on
fire here!
Madsen: There is
a lot of bad blood between these two. They broke into CAW on the same day in
January of 2002, and last Tuesday, GI Jew cracked Romeo with a chair in order
to help cause a Jaguar loss to Greg Tantalus.
Cade: Well GI
Jew has formed a partnership with that monster Solomon lately, so Bryan Conroy
took an active approach to make sure this match stays one on one. Both Solomon
and Jaguar are barred from ringside.
Romeo goes to
the outside and rolls Jew back into the ring, but Jew catches him with an elbow
to the midsection once Romeo climbs back in. Jew follows up with a forearm
uppercut and chops Romeo back into a corner. Jew blatantly chokes the tag
champion until the count of 4,and follows up with rapid, vicious shoulders to the
breadbasket.
Romeo walks out
of the corner, and Jew drives him down with a powerslam! He tucks the move into
a pin and gets 1---2---and a kickout! Jew keeps the pace quick by lifting Romeo
up and shooting him to the ropes. Romeo bounces off and nails a clothesline
from nowhere that lands Jew flat on his back! Jew gets up and walks right into
a big scoop slam, followed by an elbow drop! Romeo covers for one…two…and a
kickout!
Romeo gets to
his feet and waits for Jew to get up. The former PWA kingpin rises slowly and
swings wildly at Romeo, who ducks it and grabs him for a reverse DVD, nailing
it with big impact! Romeo makes a cover for one...two…and Gindin places Jew’s
foot on the rope!
Cade: Oh, look
at that Tom!
Madsen: Can’t
call what you don’t see Nick.
Romeo gets up
and argues with Stevens, whose hands are tied in the situation. Romeo’s taking
his eyes off his opponent allows GI Jew to sprint forth and connect with a Gore
in the middle of the ring as he turns around! GI Jew hooks the leg for one…two…thre-and
Romeo gets a shoulder up!
Madsen: Did he
just kick out?!
Cade: He sure
did! Romeo just kicked out of GI Jew’s patented Gore!
Jew gets right
in Stevens’ face, backing the senior referee into a corner. Stevens finally
sees enough and turns the tables on Jew, screaming to him that he is the lawman
in the ring and his rules must be obeyed. Jew finally agrees as Romeo stumbles
back into a corner. Jew charges him again, but Romeo moves out of the way and
he connects with the ringpost! Jew stumbles out and right into position for the
Dre Day powerbomb! Gindin quickly climbs on the ring apron, and Romeo lets Jew
fall in order to send the agent flying to the ground! Jew is still down on the
mat, and Romeo opts to lock him in his 39 Stretch, in the middle of the ring!
Cade: Romeo’s
got the 39 Stretch locked on in the middle of the ring! Gindin is down and Jew
has nowhere to go!
Madsen: Wait a
second! Solomon is here!
Cade: He’s
barred!
Madsen: He
doesn’t look like he cares!
Solomon climbs
in the ring, unbeknownst to Romeo and he stomps Da Playboy to break the hold!
Stevens calls for the bell as GI Jew rolls himself into a protective ball from
the pain. Solomon continues to stomp away on Romeo, but the crowd erupts when a
chair-wielding Jaguar sprints down the ramp! Jaguar climbs in the ring and
cracks Solomon hard in the back with the chair, but it doesn’t faze the Alaskan
Beast! Solomon turns around and simply smacks the chair from the Hot Boy’s
hands!
Cade: Oh my God,
did you see that?!
Madsen: That
chair shot didn’t do anything to him!
Solomon walks towards
Jaguar, who slowly backs away as Romeo gets up. Jaguar punches him in the face,
to no effect, followed by another futile blow. Solomon scores with a shot of
his own and lifts Jaguar for the Deep Freeze, but Romeo kicks him in the groin,
causing him to drop the former PWA Champion! Romeo and Jaguar both pound away
on the weakened Solomon, backing him to the ropes. Finally, both Hot Boy$ shrug
and clothesline him over the top rope, into the announce table!
Cade: The Hot
Boy$ just took Solomon out!
Madsen: These
people are going nuts!
The Hot Boy$
exit to “We On Fire” but the music stops once Solomon begins tearing up the
ringside area. He angrily tosses Lee Palmer and the timekeeper aside before taking
a steel chair and bashing it against the ringpost. PWA officials swarm out to
the ring and try to calm him down, but Solomon will have none of it, attacking
anyone who came too close. Gindin helps GI Jew up the ramp and Nick and Rick
try to exit the announce table while the uncontrollable Solomon’s back is
turned. Solomon backs away from the officials, right into Madsen, who is trying
to escape. Madsen tries to back away, but Solomon cries in rage and grabs the
announcer on his shoulders before Deep Freezing him through the table! A huge
“holy shit” chant consumes the crowd and Solomon exits as EMTs dart to
ringside, as Overdrive closes with the image of the motionless Rick Madsen on
the ground.
