PWA
OVERDRIVE
The broadcast
opens backstage, where “The Human Highlight” Jon Dulberg is in the trainer’s
room with one of the PWA trainers and PWA referee Jason Church.
Dulberg: Well
what am I gonna do Jason?! I’m on in an hour. We’ve promoted this match
tremendously, the people wanna see it, what do we do now?!
Church: I’m
sorry Jon; rules are rules. To challenge for the Progressive Championship, you
must weight 215 pounds or lower. That scale reads 216 even. You need to lose a
pound, quick.
Dulberg: How am
I gonna do that Jason?! The match is in an hour!
Voice: Oh,
that’s not written in stone yet.
The camera pulls
back as Progressive Champion Infernus enters the scene.
Infernus: Look
Jon, I know you want this match, and one way or another; I will beat your ass
tonight. But if you don’t weigh 215 or less, this title isn’t on the line.
You’ve got some time, you think about it. But as far as I’m concerned, I can
leave the belt in my locker room. Catch ya later chump.
Church and
Dulberg stare at Infernus as he exits.
Church: Dude, I
realize the situation. This match is big for me too. It’s Everlasting Epic for
Chrissake! Look, the easiest way to lose weight is to run. I think you should
find a security guard or two and run around the arena till you lose it.
Dulberg: Are you
serious?
Church: Sure I
am. I’ll referee the match regardless, but we both want to be involved in a
title match tonight, don’t we?
Dulberg: Point taken.
I’ll be back. (Sprinting out of the room) Hey, Jamal I need a favor!
The PWA logo
flashes onto the screen and cuts right into a live shot of the jam-packed
Superdome, where our tuxedo-clad commentators are ringside.
Cade: Hello fans
and welcome to PWA Overdrive! I’m Nick Cade, here with Rick Madsen, and this is
the night we have all been waiting for!
Madsen: What a
tremendous understatement Nick, we are here in New Orleans for the biggest
event this industry has ever seen! Everlasting Epic is right around the corner,
but this is about so much more than wrestling. There are celebrities here,
there’s music, lights, it’s incredible Nick. Absolutely incredible!
Cade: We’ve got
a lot to discuss in the hour, but Muse has just left our concert stage to our
right, so let’s get the action underway for the first match of the night!
Segment 3,
Match 1 – Don “The MVP” Capriglione vs. James Biamonte
Referee: Billy
Vargas
A big ovation
sets the stage as “#1 Stunna” by hometown boys Baby, Lil’ Wayne and Juvenile
hits the PA system and Don “The MVP” Capriglione makes his way down the
extended ramp. The MVP climbs into the ring and bounces off the ring ropes as
“2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted” by 2Pac and Snoop Dogg takes over. James Biamonte
arrives to an array of boos, but looks all business as he quickly walks down
the aisle and to the ring.
Cade: This feud has been
boiling for about a month or so now. Neither guy could wait for this match to
happen.
Madsen: Well it’s
set now, and here they go!
Biamonte slides
into the ring and tackles Capriglione to the mat. Vargas calls for the bell as
Biamonte nails Capriglione repeatedly in the head with rights and lefts. The
MVP fights him off, but Biamonte presses his early advantage with several
stomps to the sides of his opponent. Biamonte lifts Capriglione off the ground
and chops him in the chest before shooting him to the ropes and flooring him
with a back elbow. Biamonte covers, but only gets a 1 count from Vargas.
Biamonte grips
Don in a low sleeper, but Capriglione quickly fights out of it, spinning out to
down Biamonte with a back suplex. Capriglione covers for 1---2---and a kickout!
Capriglione gets to his feet and looks to seal the deal early by calling for
his spinebuster!
Cade: Don is
looking for the spinebuster here!
Madsen: This
might be a little early, but if he hits it, it could be over!
Biamonte gets up
and Capriglione grabs him for the move, but Biamonte clubs him in the back! The
MVP releases his hold and Biamonte sets him up for the Buzzkill, but
Capriglione shoves him off, right into the referee! Vargas goes down in a heap,
but just as Biamonte gets up, Capriglione nails him square with the
spinebuster! Capriglione covers, but there is no official!
Cade: Don has
the three count, plus more right here!
Madsen: The ref
is still down, but look up the ramp Nick! That’s Ryan Knakal!
Cade: What the
hell?!
Vargas slowly
begins to rise and Capriglione stays in his cover, but Knakal rushes into the
ring and bowls the official over! Capriglione gets to his feet, but turns right
into the grip of Knakal, who lifts him up and connects with the Boss Bomb!
Knakal gets up
and rushes out through the crowd as Biamonte begins to stir. He grabs
Capriglione by the hair and sets him up for the Buzzkill before nailing it with
tremendous velocity! Biamonte hooks a leg and covers for one…two…three!
Cade: Biamonte
steals it!
Madsen: He got a
little help, but I’m not sure he even knows it yet. One way or another, the
winner is still James Biamonte.
The camera cuts
to the parking lot, where a Jeep quickly pulls up to the building. The fans
begin to scream, knowing the sight of The Machine’s ride, but the door swings
open and Samuel L. Jackson steps out of the driver’s seat. The Machine hops out
of the passenger side and Justice from the rear.
Jackson: Hey,
thanks for letting me drive man. She rides nice. (Tosses Machine the keys)
Machine: Sure
does. (Whispers to Justice) And I thought I drove fast.
Jackson: What’s
that Machine?
Machine: Nothing
Sam. Lets just get inside this building. We’ve got some ass to kick tonight.

Segment 5 –
Backstage
We are taken to
a hallway backstage, where Loki and Tim Dand are talking at the water cooler.
Voice: One-side
guys!
Loki and Dand
move to the wall as Jon Dulberg sprints by them, followed by a cart, carrying a
driver and security guard Jamal.
Dand:
(Snickering) Give him hell Jon!
Cade: Well Jon
Dulberg is still trying to work off that final pound in order to make his match
with Infernus for the Progressive Title, but what about Jamal riding behind
him?
Madsen: Well
somebody needs to clear the way for the guy, but I know big Jamal isn’t running
unless there’s a sign saying “All You Can Eat”.
Cade: Be glad he
didn’t hear that. Now we are gonna send things over to our partner Tracie Reed,
who is standing by with D-Unit.
Reed: D-Unit,
you are moments away from facing Paul Dawkins and Da Banditz in a 6-man tag
match. This battle has raged for months between you and him Renegade, so with
both of your teams ready to square off, what are your thoughts?
Renegade: I’ll
keep it simple for you, we are gonna do what we say we are gonna do, and that
is destroy people. I have gone back and forth with Paul for most, if not all of
the year, but it ends tonight when we put him and those two punks away for
good. Nobody, nobody will stop the (in unison) D-Unit!
Our attention is then diverted
to the Jumbotron, where a procession of old CAW images flashes, featuring the
same superstar in every shot while Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” blares. Graphics appear on the screen reading
“Three-time CAW Champion,” “The Best Damn Intercontinental Champion… There Ever
Was,” and finally, as the package comes to a close and focuses on a full-body
shot of the individual in question, a graphic reads: “Rudy Montenora – Coming
to the PWA – Everlasting Epic.”
Segment 9,
Match 2 – Michelle vs. Jenny Ottati
(Referee: Dan
Martin)
Evanescence’s
“Going Under” hits the speakers, and Michelle makes her way to the ring to a
dominating amount of boos. She looks out at the immense crowd and climbs into
the ring as “Just A Girl” by No Doubt begins. Jenny Ottati steps out next,
accompanied by a very nice pop from the fans. She shouts at Michelle from the
walkway and wastes no time in sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring.
Cade: Just
another huge event to look forward to tonight, Rudy Montenora will make his PWA
debut right here tonight!
Madsen: What
would the biggest show ever be without a good, old-fashioned chick fight?
Cade: Even on
this night, you still find the need to be who you are. Oh well.
Both ladies get
right down to the fisticuffs, with Ottati taking the early advantage. Ottati
scores with a hard chop to the chest and Michelle backs away, but Jenny grabs
her by the arm and shoots her across the ring before taking her down with a
clothesline.
Instead of
opting for a cover, Ottati scoops Michelle from the canvas and whips her back
across the ring, but she ducks under another clothesline and nails Jenny with
one of her own as the crowd jeers the move. Michelle stomps away on Jenny, and
chokes her with her foot until Martin’s count reaches 4. Michelle grabs Jenny
by the hair and stuns her with a hard knee to the chest before grabbing her in
a front facelock and planting her with the Falcon Arrow! Michelle makes a lax
cover for one…two…and Ottati kicks out!
Madsen: Whoa,
that move usually puts Michelle’s opponents away, but Jenny kicked out this
time.
Cade: Michelle
needs to hook a leg next time.
Michelle shares
some words with the ref, then grabs Jenny for a second Falcon Arrow. She hoists
her, but Jenny slips out and begins to rotate in mid-air for the Cali Dreamin’
DDT, but Michelle takes a step back, causing Ottati to land on her feet. Jenny
takes a swipe at Michelle, who ducks it and goes behind her to roll her up.
Michelle hooks the tights and gets a 1---2---3!
Madsen: Looks
like she took your advice Nick. Michelle got the win.
Cade: I said to
hook a leg, not that huge handful of tights she had there.
Winner via
pinfall at 7:03 - Michelle
Segment 10 –
Backstage
A camera cuts to a hallway
backstage, where Mike Griffin has just arrived to the Superdome. The fans
indoors go crazy at the sight of their hero, who is pointed towards his
dressing room and walks inside, closing the door behind him.
We cut to the parking lot
once more, where a long, black stretch Hummer pulls to a halt. The few fans
outdoors gasp as the doors open, but cheer immensely once the Cash Money
Millionaires emerge, followed by Romeo, Jaguar and a slew of twenty something
girls. The Hot Boy$ look all smiles as the large entourage enters the Superdome
and we head to commercial break.

Segment 12 –
Backstage
We head back
outside to the parking lot, where a fire-red, dragon-decaled 2003 Supra
screeches to a halt. Always in search of a scoop, Tracie Reed darts out with a
microphone in hand as Scythe climbs out of his car.
Reed: Scythe,
tonight you have a chance to regain the International title when you go against
Steve Beovich in a ladder match! I know you just got here, but you seem pretty
intense. Are we gonna see that in the ring tonight.
Scythe: You sure
will Tracie. If you think I’m intense now, you’re wrong. What you see is only
the calm before what will be a violent, violent storm. Steve Beovich has put me
down for weeks, made fun of me for weeks, and now the time has come for me to cut
through him like a hot knife through butter.
Reed heads back
towards the building, but is almost run over herself when Jon Dulberg chugs by
with Jamal still following him on the cart.
As we return from the
parking lot, a video on the Jumbotron appears, set to Pearl Jam’s “Brain of J,”
showing highlights of Bryan Conroy’s greatest hits, including his five CAW
Championship victories and other impressive wins over the likes of current PWA
superstars Vulture, Jason Calysto, The Machine, and Anthony Failla, all with
his famed Sambo Suplex. As the package
comes to a close, we return backstage.
Back indoors, we
are now inside the office of PWA Owner Bryan Conroy, where Kerry Cox is
present, but the owner is not. Seconds later, Conroy barges through the door
with a napkin in hand, wiping the seat from his brow.
Conroy: Hey
Kerry, something I can help you with?
Cox: Actually,
no. My career is on the line tonight. This could be the final time I lace up
the boots, but only I can help myself against Scott Hosemann out there. The
reason I’m here is to help you.
Conroy:
(Confused) Help me? What are you talking about?
Cox: We both have a lot on
the line tonight. I have my career on the table, but you, you have a lot more
than that. You’ve got a match with a guy we both hate, your cousin, Mike Troha.
Now even if I lose tonight, I’ve had a great run and I can leave with my head
high. But if you lose, I don’t know if you can say the same. You’re a legend
Bryan, and these people need to see a legendary performance from you. You’ve
been running around all day, since early this morning trying to run this
company like nobody else could even dream of. But I’m asking you for one night
only Bryan, put down the clipboard and pick up the trunks again. Pop this tape
in and I think you’ll feel the same way. (Hands Conroy a VHS tape, which he
puts in a VCR and presses play)
What follows is
a clip from October 19, 2001, the first episode of Franklin Square Wrestling
programming:
Conroy is the first to rise. He sets up Troha for a vertical suplex,
but Troha counters and vertical suplexes Conroy right through the announcer's
table. Conroy's right leg is sandwiched, smashed between a metal support
beam that held up the table and concrete floor. The fans gasp, keeping in
mind the knowledge of Conroy's bad knee that has haunted him since CAW Fully
Loaded in July. The crowd becomes rabid with excitement once again,
regardless of Conroy and Troha laying motionless in a wreckage of table. Troha
is the first to rise this time, and he picks up the lifeless Conroy and slides
him into the ring. He goes to whip him into the ropes, but instead
ruthlessly short-clotheslines him. Troha, champion of logic, goes to the
outside for a chair, despite the obvious opportunity to capitalize on Conroy
with solid wrestling. The ref is none too pleased, and lets Troha know
it, attempting to confiscate the chair from him. A tug of war ensues, and
on Troha's blindside Conroy rises slowly, a look of intense determination on
his face. Blood is pouring down the back of his neck. The volume of
the crowd's support intensifies, in a crescendo that seems to rise in sound
just as Conroy does in light. Conroy has finally staggered to his feet,
and the tug of war has ended. Troha turns around, and Conroy swings at
Troha. Troha catches it and sends Conroy flying into the ref, following
up with a back drop as Conroy returns from the ropes. Conroy amazingly
lands on his feet with full rotation, right on his bad leg. Troha
meanwhile is reproducing the chair, as Conroy limps around to face him.
Troha swings at Conroy's bad knee, Conroy jumps the swing with another
leg, and kicks Troha in the gut with it. Troha, drops the chair, and
Conroy goes to slap on the Sambo Suplex. He goes to lift Troha, but his
knee will not allow it. The fans "oogh" and "aggh"
along with Conroy. Troha uses the elevating momentum to push off Conroy's
shoulders and get behind him. He holds Conroy's arms back, as if he is
holding him back for someone else to take a free shot at him. With his
foot, he wedges Conroy's bad knee into the chair. Troha proceeds to apply
the unprettier, however the chair does not slide along with Conroy's knee:
Troha is using one of his feet to step on it, holding it in place; however
Conroy's knee is not held in place: the motion of the unprettier causes
Conroy's leg to twist and grind in the still steel teeth of the chairs fold,
and the crowd falls silent with the sound of a snap crackle and pop as the move
reaches it's completion. Troha swiftly disposes of the chair and the ref
comes to to count the horrifying 1-2-3. Troha doesn't even celebrate his
victory. He runs out of the ring, and onto the rampway, making way to the
dressing room with haste in a flurry of empty (and some full) beverages, among
other concession stand fodder. His head is down. No one knows if he
is sorry or not for the...the tragedy he committed. The camera fades to
black as EMTs rush the ring and swarm around the fallen legend. WINNER:
Mike Troha via pinfall.
Cox rises from
the couch and picks up Conroy’s gym bag. He starts for the door and gets right
in the face of the owner, before sticking the bag into his chest. Conroy
doesn’t budge as Cox begins to talk.
Cox: You know
what you need to do now. Walk that aisle one more time and bring it like only
Bryan Conroy can. (Starts for the door)
Conroy: Hey
Kerry, thanks man.
Cox exits and
the door closes with Conroy having a lot to think about.
Cade: Wow. What
can you say after watching that Rick?
Madsen: You
summed it up in one word Nick, wow. Bryan Conroy has not stepped into a
wrestling ring since June of 2002, and he goes one on one with Mike Troha, one
of the best in the game, tonight. That is going to be simply incredible.
Cade: Speaking
of incredible, what about this Everlasting Epic weekend as a whole? We have had
six tremendous bands perform over the weekend; did you go to any of the shows?
Madsen: Are you
kidding? I was at both! Last night, VAST did a great set, Powderfinger had this
place rockin’, and then…Pearl Jam. Oh man, Pearl Jam. The roof of this dome
nearly blew off when they came out, much less when they performed. It was
great. Then today, Muse did a great set to close things out before we went on
the air tonight. My boys from Jersey, Ours rocked the house, and Sometimes
Never kicked things off with some very nice performances.
Cade: That’s
Greg Tantalus’ band, correct?
Madsen: Sure is,
and they have a great mellow sound that really connected to these people here
in New Orleans. Greg received a nice ovation, but I’m not sure if he will hear
the same when he comes out for that Gates of Hell tag team title match later
on.
Cade: That Gates
of Hell will be one of the greatest tag team matches in memory in my book.
You’ve got three proven tag teams all vying for one title, but throw in the
recent reformation of the Hot Boy$ with the hunger of the Lost Souls, and the
recent happenings between Vulture and Magnifica, and we’ve got one helluva
match. Lets send things over to Scott Cornelius, who apparently is with the Hot
Boy$ now.
A camera is set right at the
interview area, where Scott Cornelius is standing by with Romeo, Jaguar and the
Cash Money Millionaires.
Cornelius: Romeo,
Jaguar, tonight you will go for your unprecedented eighth tag team championship
in the Gates of Hell match. You will be facing all four males in S.I.N., are
you ready for the challenge.
Jaguar: Corny,
when have we not been ready for a challenge ever? We’re more than ready. But
since we’re down here in the 504, we decided to bring our boys with us to the
event. You know them right Corny?
Cornelius: Of
course I do. It’s nice to meet you all, I love your music.
Romeo: Scott,
stop lyin’. You know damn well you don’t listen to them. This here is Juvenile,
Lil’ Wayne, Turk, Baby, B.G. and my look-alike, Manny Fresh. Talk to them
ya’ll.
Fresh: Whats
goin’ on Corny? Can I steal that Jag? Alright, I’ll do it anyway. Lookahere, I
wanna clear something up right now. These four rappers here are not all the Hot
Boy$. The Hot Boy$ you see is an extension of what we have right here. Wayne,
Juvi, B.G., Turk, Jaguar and Romeo are the Hot Boy$, all six of em.
Turk: We can’t
do what they do in a ring, but they our dawgs for life, ya heard me?
Cornelius: Uh,
yeah.
B.G.: Aw yeah,
Baby Gangsta on the mic right now. Look, we just feel good to be a part of all
this, right here in our hometown. (Passes the mic to Juvenile, but screams to
Jenny Ottati, who walks by his right) Get in line ho!
Juvenile: B.G.
put it all together right there. Being here in our hometown for all this is
just great man. We got the Magnolia projects just a little while away from
here, and its gonna be tight to see my two dawgs right here bring home the
gold.
Baby: And when
they win it, they gonna take each belt and dip it in platinum, ya heard me?
Jaguar: Scott, I
know we’re having a lot of fun right now. But when we get out to that ring,
we’re gonna turn it up and show you just why we are the best tag team to ever
hit the scene.
We head back to the parking
lot, where dawn in setting in on the Louisiana sky as Anthony Failla begins his
walk to the arena. The beeping of the cart can be heard, and Jon Dulberg huffs
and puffs past Failla on his way back into the building. Failla simply shrugs
and we head to our final commercial break.

Segment 18 –
Backstage
We come back to
the trainer’s room, where Jon Dulberg barges in, sweating up a storm. Jason
Church is waiting for him and simply points down to the scale for Dulberg to
get on. Dulberg gets on and the scale reads 215.5 pounds!
Dulberg: You
have got to be kidding me! After all that running!
Church: I’m
sorry Jon, but it’s out of my hands. This match has to be non-title.
Dulberg: Wait a
second! I know what it is, it’s these heavy ass clothes! Hold on.
The camera
closes in on the faces of Church and the trainer as Dulberg takes off his
t-shirt and light warm-up pants and tosses them to the men in the room before
hopping back on the scale. Church measures it and it now reads 215.1 pounds!
Dulberg: I’ll be
damned! Wait a second. One more thing.
The camera zooms
in on the trainer and Church again and their mouths drop as Dulberg’s spotted
boxer shorts fly in front of them! Dulberg hops back on the scale, which now
reads 214.9 pounds!
Church: Under
215 Jon. The match is for the title.
Dulberg: Yes!
Thanks man. (Picks up his clothes) Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a belt to
win.
Dulberg exits
the room with his clothes over his privates as Church can only shake his head
at what just occurred.
Segment 19,
Match 3 – Paul Dawkins and Da Banditz vs. D-Unit
(Referee: Matt
Hansen)
“Back Down” by
50 Cent hits the speakers, and a huge bad reaction meets D-Unit as they stroll
to the ring. Renegade, Maverick and Darkstar arrive without Bubbles, who is
barred from ringside for this contest. D-Unit climbs into the ring and waits as
“Banditz” by Jim Crow takes over. Jermaine Harris and Charles Walker arrive to
a nice pop from the crowd, which grows tremendously as “Move Bitch” by
Ludacris, I-20 and Mystikal begins. Paul Dawkins meets with his team and all 3
sprint down to the ring as D-Unit steps out.
Cade: This has
been such a huge rivalry between Dawkins and Renegade, and this could be the
biggest chapter in it right here tonight.
Hansen calls for
the bell and Darkstar begins the match against Walker. They lock up and Walker
quickly grabs a side headlock. Darkstar hits the ropes and shoves him off, but
Walker slides right under his legs and connects with a dropkick! Darkstar gets
up and Walker jabs him twice, but he blocks a third and barrels Walker into the
D-Unit corner, where he tags in Maverick.
Maverick enters
the ring and pounds away on Walker, clubbing him in the chest and neck.
Maverick connects with a vertical suplex and covers for a count of one…two…and
Walker kicks out! Maverick lifts him up and scoop slams him down. He hits the
ropes and jumps for an elbow drop, but Walker rolls out of the way and makes the
tag to Dawkins!
Cade: Here comes
big Paul!
Dawkins enters
the ring and floors all three opponents with right hands. He grabs Renegade and
Darkstar and crashes their heads together before lifting Maverick up and
calling for the Sweetness! Dawkins sets him up, but Renegade recovers and nails
Paul square in the jaw, causing him to drop Maverick and reel into his corner,
where Harris tags in.
Maverick inches
to his corner and brings in Darkstar, who is greeted by a Harris right hand.
Darkstar comes back with one of his own and takes the upper hand. He whips
Harris to the ropes, where Renegade trips him up! The D-Unit leader doesn’t
have much time to celebrate, as Dawkins tackles him to the ground! Maverick
re-enters the ring, but Walker grabs him and tosses him over the top rope!
Darkstar sets Maverick up for the Neck Snappa, but Harris avoids it and plants
him with a sit-down powerbomb! Hansen counts one…two…three!
Cade: Da Banditz
and Dawkins win it!
Madsen: This was
a wild match, but Renegade does not look pleased at all Nick.
Winners via
pinfall at 6:11- Paul Dawkins and Da Banditz
Segment 20 –
Jumbotron
Live's
"Voodoo Lady" hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the
screen that reads "PWA Everlasting Epic II Report." From there,
the shot takes us to a backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O'Brien, who is
standing in front of a backdrop featuring the EE2 logo.
O'Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O'Brien and this is
the Everlasting Epic report. It's been almost one year since the
Progressive Wrestling Alliance has come into existence, and we're going to
celebrate that anniversary in a big way, live on pay-per-view, Saturday August
the 9th, at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. On August 31, 2002,
Everlasting Epic, the first-ever pay-per-view of the PWA, was held, and was an
overwhelming success, seeing Jason Calysto crowned the first PWA Champion in
the main event. This year’s event will culminate a weekend-long
spectacle, because the PWA presented Everlasting Epic weekend, combining our
annual pay-per-view spectacular with two exceptional concerts! On Friday,
August 8th, three acts performed, beginning with successful underground act
VAST at 4:30, Australian rock outfit Powderfinger at 6:00, and culminating with
rock gods Pearl Jam at 7:30, which commenced a three-hour set! On August
9th, we kicked off at 2:00pm with PWA superstar Greg Tantalus’ very own band
Sometimes Never, followed by New Jersey’s Ours at 3:00, and British band Muse
at 4:35, two artists with strong cult followings, After the concerts, Overdrive
hit airwaves at 6:30 and Everlasting Epic II hits the pay-per-view airwaves
momentarily at 7:30pm sharp, and staying on the air until 11:30!
In addition, Radioactive recording artists Live have signed on to the EE2 card,
offering their song "Voodoo Lady" as the official theme, which will
be performed live as the show goes on the air by the band! We have also
learned that Live's song "White Discussion," which has been used in
promo packages hyping the match between Mike Griffin and Jason Calysto, will
also be performed live! In addition, we have confirmed celebrity
appearances by Samuel L. Jackson, who will be in the corner of Machine and
Justice for their match, and the legendary Clint Eastwood, who will serve as
guest timekeeper in the main event! The stars will shine bright in New
Orleans here tonight!
Now that's all well and good, but you guys are wrestling fans, and I take it
you want to know what wrestling will be offered to you. Well how about
this one? For the PWA Championship, it'll be the Iceman Jason Calysto
defending against The Impulse Mike Griffin in what should be a heated
affair! And, to make it even better, we've learned that there will be a
very special guest referee for this one!
The International Championship will be up for grabs in a deadly ladder match,
as The Omega Steve Beovich defends against Scythe!
Superstar Scott Hosemann will battle his mentor, Hardcore Icon Kerry Cox, in a
match in which Cox must win to remain an active superstar!
Also, Progressive Champion Infernus will go head-to-head with The Human
Highlight Jon Dulberg! As of this report, Dulberg now weighs in at 215
pounds even. He will now challenge Infernus for his Progressive title in a
match that should be exciting from bell to bell.
We will also see the first-ever PWA Gates of Hell match for the PWA Tag Team
Championship, pitting champions Vulture and Greg Tantalus against the Lost
Souls and the Hot Boy$! What is a Gates of Hell match you ask?
Simple. It's a three-team double-elimination round robin tournament, with
the Tag Team Championship on the line. Bryan Conroy was pressed to make a
decision regarding the titles after the no-decision in the match between SIN
and the Lost Souls, and this is what emerged. Two random teams will start
the match and wrestle, one fall to a finish. The loser of the fall will
then exit the ring and the third team will enter. The match will continue
in this fashion until two teams are eliminated, with elimination being after
losing two decisions. It will certainly be a marathon, where only the
strongest team will survive!
It is now official: PWA owner Bryan Conroy returns from a 14-month
retirement to battle his cousin The Miracle Mike Troha with Troha's suspension
on the line!
Mike Tortorici goes one-on-one with
Loki!
The Machine teams with Justice, with
Samuel L. Jackson in their corner, to battle Walter Gindin's team of Solomon
and GI Jew!
Also, in a fatal four-way elimination match, Allison Kelly defends the PWA
Women's Championship against Magnifica, Jade, and Dee Licious!
Anthony Failla, though not medically cleared to wrestle, will go head-to-head
with his former best friend Mike Grieco!
Henry Swanson's Swan Song will feature the suspended Showtime Damon Savage and
his promoter, "Not That" Rodney King!
And on top of that, CAW legend Rudy Montenora will make his first PWA
appearance!
Fans, we are now
just minutes away from the biggest event in the history of our sport. It’s
Everlasting Epic II coming your way, live from New Orleans!
Cade: Well fans, the time
for talking is over. You know the matches, you know that intrigue, and you know
the drama. The time for Everlasting Epic II is here. For Rick Madsen, I’m Nick
Cade signing off.
