Sun. Oct. 13, 2002 – Nassau Coliseum – Uniondale, New York
SEGMENT 1:
INTRODUCTION:
A brief pyrotechnic display welcomes the Long Island faithful
to the Nassau Coliseum. The lights then flash and go down, as ring announcer
Lee Palmer explains the rules for this PWA house show and wishes everyone to
enjoy themselves with the Progressive Wrestling Alliance.
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1: REAPER AND SPEED DEMON VS. SPANISH FLY AND
CHAD HASTY:
The show kicks off with "Jungle Boogie" by Kool and
The Gang soundtracking the first entrance of the evening. The Long Island
audience gives a warm reception to Chad Hasty and his tag team partner for the
evening, Spanish Fly. The pop grows slightly louder when the sultry Senorita
Lolita appears, and the trio enters the ring. Immediately after they get in,
the lights go out and "A Violent Reaction" by American Head Charge
takes over. Speed Demon and Reaper arrive in tandem to an array of crowd
displeasure, but they ignore it and simply enter the ring.
Speed Demon stays in the ring looking to start the match with Hasty. The
opening bell sounds, and the match is underway. Demon and Hasty both extend
their hands in order to feel out their opponent, but Hasty is taken down
quickly with a leg sweep. Demon wastes no time after the move, and mounts Hasty
before delivering several punches to the face. Hasty manages to reverse the position,
and the crowd cheers as it is now his turn to "ground and pound".
This continues briefly until Reaper breaks it up with a kick to the back of
Hasty.
Demon retreats to his corner and makes a tag to Reaper. Reaper charges at
Hasty, but is downed by a fast drop toehold. Hasty then displays his superior
wrestling ability by rolling into a front facelock. Reaper uses his power to
return to a vertical base, but Hasty manages to back himself into his corner
where Fly tags himself in. Hasty lifts the arm of Reaper and Fly attacks with a
kick to the ribs. The Mexican Luchador builds momentum by running to the ropes,
but is met with swift powerslam on his return! The crowd energy is now
completely deflated as Reaper lifts a bruised Fly.
Fly attempts to come back with one punch to the gut, then another. Fly manages
to whip Reaper to the ropes, while Demon makes a blind tag. Fly looks to hit a
clothesline, but Reaper executes a quick baseball slide and holds the legs of
Spanish Fly! With Fly unable to move, Demon kicks him in the gut, and delivers
a crippling Bloodbath DDT! Reaper knocks Hasty off the ring apron as Demon
covers for one...two...three!

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 2: RICK DELIGHT VS. THE CHOCOLATE WONDER:
The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Goin Back to Cali" plays
over the loudspeakers, bringing about a roar from the crowd. It turns out the
pop was just for the song, as Rick Delight's arrival causes the cheers to
quickly dwindle down. Delight enters the ring, looking to stop his losing
streak in a big way. The opening sounds of "Move Bitch" take over,
and once the chorus is started by Ludacris, Chocolate Wonder and Renegade enter
to a tremendous ovation. It seems that the new theme song has done nothing but
increase the popularity of these two upstart superstars. They interact with the
fans, slapping hands the length of their entrance. Renegade waits on the
outside while Wonder enters the ring, and the bell sounds.
Delight and Wonder lock up in the middle of the ring, and Delight gets the
better of the exchange, forcing Wonder into the corner. The referee calls for a
clean break, and Delight thrusts his arms into the air. But before breaking
completely, Delight rams a shoulder into the chest of the Chocolate Wonder.
Delight ignores the boos from the crowd, and downs Wonder with a clothesline as
he steps out of the corner. Wonder gets back to his feet, and is immediately
scoop slammed by Delight. The more experienced Delight then bounces off the
ropes and drops a hard elbow across the chest of Wonder. Delight covers,
one...two...Wonder kicks out!
Delight lifts Wonder from the canvas, and whips him to the ropes. Wonder
bounces off, and ducks a Delight clothesline attempt before connecting with a
big flying forearm! Delight gets up, and Wonder hits a right hand, then
another, then another, before running off the ropes and downing Delight with a
reverse elbow this time! Wonder whips Delight off the ropes, but the big man
makes a rookie mistake by lowering his head too soon. Delight manages to stop
short and connect with a big Implant DDT! Rick Delight makes a fast pin
attempt. 1...2...Wonder just barely kicks out!
Delight is overtly frustrated by now and grabs a chair from the ringside area.
Delight rolls back into the ring and shoves the referee out of the way. Wonder
gets up and Delight starts his swinging motion, but Renegade climbs atop the
ring apron and grabs the chair from Delight! Renegade drops to the arena floor,
while Delight misses his chance to attack the martial artist. Delight yells an
obscenity at Renegade and then turns around, but Wonder plants boot in his gut
and crashes him down to the mat with Sweetness! Chocolate Wonder wraps Delight
up by both legs and the referee counts 1...2...3!

SEGMENT 4: MATCH 3: JON DULBERG VS. STEVE BEOVICH:
The sounds of the vastly popular band P.O.D. takes over the
P.A. with its hit "Alive". "The Flying Terrier" Steve
Beovich steps through the curtain to an absolutely enormous amount of boos. The
Long Island crowd obviously tuned into PWA's Frequency last Tuesday where
Beovich assaulted his former partner, Jon Dulberg. Beovich gets into the ring
and takes the microphone from ring announcer Lee Palmer.
Beovich: Well first of all, you can all shut the hell up. I did what I did to
Jon Dulberg because it was all....
Beovich never has a chance to continue, as Pantera's "Walk" cuts him
off, and "The Human Highlight" sprints to the ring! The bell is
sounded, and Dulberg absolutely unloads on Beovich with furious punches to the
face. Beovich reels into the ropes, and Dulberg delivers a sharp knife-edge
chop before whipping him to the other side. Beovich bounces off the ropes, and
Dulberg lowers his head before rising and delivering a big back body drop!
Beovich gets back up, and once again staggers into the ropes. Dulberg charges,
and sends Steve flying over with a thunderous clothesline! The crowd is
going absolutely nuts for Dulberg assault, but it does not stop, as Dulberg immediately
connects with a plancha from the inside of the ring!
Dulberg rolls Beovich back inside before whipping him into the corner. Dulberg
relentlessly follows him in with a clothesline, and continues the attack by
punching Beovich all the way to the ground. The official has finally seen
enough, and steps in between the two combatants to separate them. While Dulberg
argues with the referee, Beovich turns his back to the action, dizzily looking
at the crowd and resting his elbows on the turnbuckles.
When Beovich manages to turn around and stagger forward, Dulberg shoves the
referee to one side and rushes immediately at his opponent. Beovich quickly
reads the move, and hoists Dulberg before connecting with a snake eyes drop on
the turnbuckle! It is then that we see the turnbuckle pad has been removed, and
Dulberg crashed into the steel buckle! The crowd realizes that Beovich was
untying the pad while slumped in the corner, and showers him with boos for his
new rulebreaking style. With Dulberg now lying motionless on the canvas,
Beovich climbs to the top rope and connects with the NC Double Crush! He hooks
the far leg, and the referee counts one..two..three! Beovich picks up the
tainted victory and exits the ring to "Alive", a theme that has apparently
taken on a new meaning.
WINNER
VIA PINFALL AT 9:07: STEVE BEOVICH
SEGMENT 5: MATCH 4: THE MACHINE VS. NORM THE PIZZAMAN:
"Black and White" by Static-X begins and the
confused Long Island crowd completely lacks a reaction. This changes quickly as
soon as Norm The Pizzaman strolls towards the ring to a favorable, albeit mixed
reaction. Norm is looking extremely focused for his first house show action in
weeks. His music stops, and the house light go out. While the fans pop just for
the lights going out, they erupt when the lights flicker and Fear Factory's
"H-K" brings about the arrival of the Machine! The big man gladly
accepts the fans' show of respect for him, and steps through the ropes.
The bell sounds and both men walk to the center of the ring. Norm decides the
show some sportsmanship, and extends his hand to The Machine. The Machine looks
to the crowd for advice, and they beg him not to accept the offer. The Machine
however, does extend his hand to Norm and the crowd pops for the rare
handshake. At this point, Norm decides to get a quick one on The Machine, and
hits him with a right hand. The Machine simply raises his eyebrow at this, as
Norm begs off.
The Machine points toward the ropes, offering Norm a chance to try him. Norm
obliges, and The Pizzaman bounces off the ropes only to be knocked down by the
stationary body of The Machine! The crowd begins to laugh at Norm, who responds
by charging again. Norm returns, and once again is downed by the monster, who
still has not moved! Norm is now boiling with anger, and The Machine joins the
crowd in making fun of the Asian delivery boy.
Norm circles around The Machine, and gets right in the face of the monster. The
Machine seemingly begs off and extends his hand for another handshake. Norm
smiles at his opponent, then the crowd before accepting the offer. Norm goes to
turn away, but the Machine does not let go. Norm is yanked back, into the face
of The Machine, who shakes his head in disgust before delivering a thunderous
Rockbottom to the delight of the crowd!
Norm seemingly has no chance of getting back up, and the crowd chants for The
Machine, yelling "Go up top, go up top!". The Machine then
points at the corner, and the fans pop as he begins to climb it. The Machine
gains his balance and then puts his arms in the air before, soaring off and
connecting with a massive Senton Bomb, eliciting the loudest ovation thus far!
The Machine then kneels down next to Norm and places a hand on The Pizzaman's
chest. The Machine looks at the official and shrugs, as the crowd counts along,
one..two...three for the emphatic victory!

SEGMENT 6: RINGSIDE:
We
return from intermission with Dee Licious already in the ring. She enters to no
music, and instead opts to speak on the microphone.
Licious: Well first off, let me say its good to be back here in
Strong Island! (crowd cheers tremendously) I came out here early to share a
secret with all my fans out here. Now I know you guys want to see the brand new
Dee Licious, but you'll all have to wait until Frequency. The good news is,
while I left my new gear back home in Tampa, I'm gonna give you guys a sneak
peek and let you hear my new music, Hit it!
Dee's music is not played as "Jaded" by Vast hits and Jade makes her
way to the ring to a substantial amount of boos.
Jade: Why are you out here kissing up to these losers? Saying you are gonna
reinvent yourself. The only reason you are gonna do that is simply because YOU
cannot beat ME! As a matter of fact, no woman in this entire company can beat
me!
Hearing this, "I Need A Hot Girl" plays and Camieko enters to an
overwhleming pop! The official Hot Girl sprints to the ring, and along with Dee
Licious, clotheslines Jade over the top rope! Jade gets up and retreats behind
the curtain as the bell sounds.
MATCH
5: DEE LICIOUS VS. CAMIEKO:
Camieko and Dee Licious start the match with a handshake, pleasing the fans.
They then lock up with Camieko forcing Licious into the corner. Camieko gives a
clean break, and Licious suddenly rushes forth. Camieko executes a quick
armdrag, and then another. As the ladies return to their feet, Camieko connects
with a dropkick that sends Licious reeling backwards into the corner. Camieko
charges, but Licious moves out of the way!
Camieko crashes into the turnbuckles, and dizzily turns around, running right
into the referee! The official falls to the mat as Camieko walks right into The
Tease! Licious covers, but with the referee still down, Jade breaks up the pin
attempt after re-emerging! Licious swings at Jade but misses, and Jade delivers
a swift kick to the stomach before executing a big piledriver! Jade shakes
Camieko, then the official. As both come to, Jade exits once more. Camieko
arises to see Licious prone on the canvas, and while a little confused as to
how Dee got there, she still wastes no time in scaling the turnbuckles and
connecting with the St. Kinard Splash! The referee recovers to count the
one...two...three!
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 5:03: CAMIEKO
SEGMENT 7: MATCH 6: PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP: CHAIN-ON-A-POLE MATCH: GI JEW © VS. TRAIN:
Ring announcer Lee Palmer explains
the rules for this Chain on a Pole match, as the man who climbs the pole and
captures the chain will be allowed to use it on his opponent. After the
completion of the announcement, Metallica's "Don't Tread On Me"
beings and GI Jew appears. The Progressive Champion is hearing his normal boos,
but does not let them phase him. Jew is a proud competitor, and has defended
the gold on nearly every chance he's had since winning it. He takes off his
belt and hands it to the referee as Trust Company's "Downfall" begins
and Train is welcomed to a warm response. The newcomer steps through the ropes
as the official hoists the title in the air and calls for the bell.
That match begins with Train having his eyes deadlocked on the chain. This
quick lack of focus provides GI Jew just enough time to pounce on his opponent
and work him over with repeated punches and kicks. Train bounces into the ropes
and Jew whips him to the other side. Train returns and Jew decks him with a big
lariat! Jew then lifts Train and bodyslams him down to the mat before
attempting to climb the pole. Jew is within arms reach, but Train causes him to
lose his balance by hitting the ropes!
Jew straddles the turnbuckle, and Train delivers a belly-to-back suplex from
the top! Jew clutches his back in pain as Train scales the pole. Jew can’t make
it to his feet, but gives Train a dose of his own medicine as he shoves the
referee into the ropes and knocks Train from his perch! Train gets back to his
feet, but Jew kicks him and connects with a huge DDT! Jew once again heads to
the pole, but while standing atop the ropes, Train positions himself underneath
the champion and drops him with The End of The Line!
The crowd roars as Train nails his finisher and heads towards the pole. With
Jew still down on the mat, Train reaches up and grabs the chain! By the time
train gets back down, GI Jew is back up on his feet, although staggering and
dazed. Train wraps the foreign object around his right hand, and swings at GI
Jew, but the champion ducks it! Train turns around, and GI Jew kicks him in the
hand, sending the chain flying. While Train follows the chain with his eyes in
order to catch it in mid-air, the champion connects with a thunderous Gore! GI
Jew quickly covers, and the referee counts one...two....three!

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 7: RYAN KNAKAL AND SCOTT HOSEMANN VS. PWA
CHAMPION JASON CALYSTO AND ANTHONY ANNETTA:
Iconz' "Get F*cked up"
hits and Ryan Knakal steps through the curtain for tag team action. "The
Boss", who enters without his occasional tag team partner Rick Delight who
lost earlier in the evening, is receiving a mixed reaction with more than his
share of boos. Knakal settles in the ring and boos choke the air as "The
Imperial March" plays and "Superstar" Scott Hosemann arrives to
the biggest heat of the night. Hosemann poses in all four corners and quickly
discusses strategy with Knakal while his blue and white lights go down. Next
up, "F*ckin In The Bushes" from Oasis plays and PWA Champion Jason
Calysto emerges to a huge crowd roar. Calysto enters seemingly without a
partner, but he stops a few feet in front of the curtain and points back to it
as Anthony Annetta emerges to an even louder pop. The crowd loves to see these
two old friends back together, but on a new side of the fence. After some
posing, Annetta settles in the ring with Knakal and the opening bell rings.
Annetta and Knakal lock up, but no man seems to gain the upper hand. Knakal
responds with a sharp knee to the gut, and clubs Annetta down to the mat.
Knakal stomps away at his opponent and makes himself known to be the aggressor
in this contest. Knakal hits a big bodyslam on Annetta before tagging in
Hosemann. "The Superstar" is thoroughly booed with every move his
makes, but he ignores it as he stomps Annetta down into the corner. Hosemann
whips Annetta out, but it’s reversed. Hosemann bounces out of the opposite
corner and Annetta takes him down with a clothesline! Annetta tags Calysto in
to a big pop and Hosemann scurries to his corner and tags in Knakal.
Ryan Knakal holds a look of confusion on his face, but enters the ring anyway.
Calysto wastes absolutely no time and begins his assault with his trademark
knife-edge chops. Calysto whips Knakal to the ropes and looks for the kill with
a spinning heel kick. Knakal ducks and returns with a big clothesline! Hosemann
now tags himself back in and now stomps Calysto in the corner. Hosemann lifts
"The Iceman" and drops him with a crushing suplex! Hosemann covers,
one...two.. Calysto kicks out!
Hosemann now administers a reverse chin lock, wearing down Calysto. The crowd
cheers for Calysto to get back into the match, and he responds with an elbow to
the ribs of Hosemann. He hits another, then another, breaking the hold. Calysto
runs to the ropes and Hosemann turns him over with a knee to the gut! Hosemann
tags Knakal back in the match, and "The Boss" charges at Calysto, but
"The Iceman" nails a desperation mafia kick! Knakal goes down and
Calysto tags Annetta back in! Annetta goes on a rampage, flooring both of his
opponents with clotheslines. Hosemann gets back up and charges at Annetta, but
misses and hits Knakal with a flying shoulder block!
With all four men in the ring now, the referee loses total control of the fray.
Annetta and Calysto are downed by a double clothesline from Hosemann, but the
"Superstar" turns around to find Knakal right in his face! Knakal
shoves Hosemann for hitting him, and Hosemann responds by kicking him in the
gut and nailing a Superstar Stunner! Hosemann then leaves to a tremendous
amount of boos, while Calysto nails the big man with the Icebreaker! With
Annetta being the legal man, he covers Knakal for the academic 1, 2, 3!

SEGMENT 9: MATCH 8: MAIN EVENT:
TRINITY, BODYCOUNT, LOKI, AND GREG TANTALUS VS. JAGUAR, ROMEO, SCYTHE,
AND MIKE GRIFFIN:
After
an explosive tag team match, the crowd quiets for the 8-man main event. They do
not have to wait long as "With You" by Linkin Park plays and Scythe
enters to a rousing ovation. As he enters the ring, "We On Fire" plays
and The Hot Boy$ enter with Camieko to another massive ovation. After their
pyro blasts in the ring, all three men climb in and wait for their partner.
"Parabola" by Tool takes over, and "The Impulse" Mike
Griffin emerges to an absolutely deafening ovation! The hometown hero climbs in
the ring and pounds fists with Scythe, and goes to pose on the turnbuckles, but
his path is blocked by Jaguar. These two rivals exchange words, before pounding
fists and all four men posing in the corners to the loudest roar of the night!
Their celebration is cut short by "Natural Born Killers" from Dr. Dre
and Ice Cube. The Prophecy enters in full force with Trinity leading the way.
The three men enter to a handful of boos, but these jeers grow overwhelmingly as
"Hey You" by Simon Says begins and Greg Tantalus appears! Tantalus
shouts inaudible words at his three partners and all four men rush the ring!
The bell rings and all eight combatants pair off, Scythe battling with
Bodycount, Trinity with Jaguar, Romeo with Tantalus, and Loki with Griffin.
Romeo chucks Tantalus over the top rope, while Griffin and Jaguar rid the ring
of Loki and Trinity. The Hot Boy$ then join arms to double clothesline
Bodycount up and over the top rope! All eight men settle down and Jaguar looks to
start the match off with Loki as the bell sounds. Jaguar schools the
International Champion with two armdrags before dropping him with a
clothesline. Jaguar executes an armbar, and moves to his corner and tagging in
Scythe. The modern day samurai enters the ring and hits a swift savate kick on
Loki as Jaguar exits. Scythe whips Loki to the ropes, but telegraphs a back
body drop and Loki responds with a big DDT. After a failed pin attempt, Loki
tags Tantalus into the match.
Tantalus goes to work on Scythe with several punches and kicks before whipping
him to the ropes and powerslamming him on the return. Tantalus covers, but
Scythe kicks out and Trinity enters the match for the first time. Trinity
tosses Scythe all over the squared circle with an array of power based moves.
Trinity hoists Scythe for a gorilla press, but Scythe slips out and connects
with a superkick! Trinity falls to the mat as Scythe manages to tag Romeo.
Romeo displays his power by whipping Trinity to the ropes and crushing the big
man with a massive spinebuster! Romeo covers, but Trinity kicks out at two. A
thumb to the eye allows Trinity to tag Tantalus back in, and the Denver native
quickly dropkicks Romeo and sends him to the mat. Tantalus forces Romeo into
the corner and begins to chop him into oblivion as Griffin begs for a tag.
Tantalus whips Romeo to the opposite corner, but the Hot Boy explodes out and
connects with a clothesline! Both men are now down, but Romeo manages to tag in
Griffin!
Griffin however, does not see Tantalus make a tag to Loki, and proceeds to
obliterate his former tag team partner while the other six men enter the ring.
Griffin and Loki are now the legal men, but Griffin is executing his rolling
German suplexes on Tantalus! Griffin gets up and walks right into a huge
Bodycount clothesline! Scythe and Romeo then manage to clothesline Bodycount
out once more while Jaguar hits Trinity with a dropkick that sends him up and
over!
Loki is waiting for Griffin to get up, looking for his superkick. Griffin gets
up, but ducks the kick. In all the confusion, Jaguar then blasts Loki with the
Carrjack! Tantalus has apparently left the ringside area and retreated to the
back while Romeo and Scythe are battling Trinity and Bodycount. Griffin and
Jaguar look at one another before pointing to the corners, and scaling them.
With the crowd louder than it has been all night, Jaguar soars off the top rope
and hits his frog splash! But immediately after the tag team champion gets up,
he points at Griffin, who connects with his moonsault! Jaguar leaves the ring
to help Scythe with Bodycount as Griffin covers Loki for one...two....three!

Sun. Oct. 20,
2002 – Madison Square Garden –
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
"Understanding In A Car Crash" by Thursday hits and
Progressive Wrestling Alliance owner Bryan Conroy enters Madison Square Garden
to an enormous pop! Conroy takes the microphone from ring announcer Lee Palmer
and steps into the ring.
Conroy: How good it is to be back in our home of New York City! As you all have
heard by now, tonight is a very special night. Tonight we will witness the
first ever PWA Lethal Lottery. 28 men are entered, and earlier today all drew
numbers at random. The numbers were then matched together, creating 14
makeshift tag teams. There will be 7 tag team matches tonight, and the 14
winners will all compete in an over-the-top rope battle royal with the winner
earning the right to get the first PWA title shot on October 29th, the first
PWA Frequency after Hellbent this Saturday night! With Vulture and Jason
Calysto set to square off for the PWA title at Hellbent, should one of those
men become victorious tonight AND leave with the PWA title on Saturday night,
the champion will then have the right to name his opponent for that date if he
wishes. The teams have been drawn, and the matches are as follows:
Anthony Annetta will team with PWA Champion Jason Calysto to take on two
"best friends" Kerry Cox and the PWA Progressive Champion GI Jew!
Rick Delight and Steve Beovich will face Ryan Knakal and the Spanish Fly!
Romeo and Renegade will team to wrestle Jon Dulberg and The Chocolate Wonder!
Greg Tantalus will team with Diabetes Dude to wrestle Speed Demon and Mike
Griffin!
The Prophecy has been lucky enough to draw a team containing two of its
members. The number one contenders for the PWA Tag Team Championship, Trinity
and Bodycount will wrestle DareDevyl and Reaper!
In what could be the most intriguing match of the night, the highly unlikely
tandem of The Machine and "Superstar" Scott Hosemann will take on the
number one contender for the PWA Championship, Vulture, and his partner, one
half of the PWA Tag Team Champions, Jaguar!
And finally...
Conroy is cut off by Linkin Park's "With You", and Scythe emerges
to a deafening reaction! The modern-day samurai grabs a microphone and steps
into the ring.
Scythe: Bryan, all due respect, but I'm hearing you announce all of these
matches tonight while you know that I am the only one in the Lethal Lottery
without a tag team partner. I don't even know who I am facing! Now I know
this has been a hectic day, and you are a very busy man, But what gives
Bryan?!?!
Conroy: Well Scythe, your opponents for the night are Train and a man you know
very well, the PWA International Champion, Loki. As for you match, well its
next.
Scythe: That’s fine by me. But who is my partner?
Conroy: Yeah, you'll need that right? Ladies and gentleman, making a one-time
only PWA appearance, former CAW Tag Team Champion, Billy Chan!
"Tajiri" begins and Billy Chan emerges to a thunderous crowd
roar! The former CAW Tag Team Champions embrace in the ring as the crowd
celebrates along with them. This is cut short by Rage Against The Machine's
"Testify" and the arrival of Loki. The International Champion enters
to a plethora of boos, but looks straight ahead at the ring. Knowing he is
outnumbered, he decides to wait at the curtain for his partner. Bryan Conroy
steps through the curtain and back to the backstage area as Trust Company's
"Downfall" hits and Train emerges. The fans cheer the big man Train,
but break out in boos once he pounds fists with his partner and they charge the
ring.
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1: LOKI AND TRAIN VS. SCYTHE AND BILLY CHAN:
The bell sounds and Chan peppers Train with rights and lefts
while Scythe exchanges fists with Loki. Train quickly overpowers Chan and whips
him to the ropes, but the quicker Chan springs off and connects with a spinning
leg lariat! Loki gains the upper hand on Scythe, but an overthrown punch allows
for Scythe to clothesline the champion up and over the top rope! The fans roar
as Chan and Scythe rule the ring with their opponents on the outside. Train
gets back in and locks up with Chan. Train wastes no time in displaying his
power, tossing Chan into his corner. Loki holds Chan in place while Train
rushes forth and hits an avalanche! Chan staggers out and hits the mat as Loki
tags his way into the match.
The International Champion stomps away at Billy Chan, taunting Scythe the
entire time. Loki lifts Chan off the mat, but he is nailed with a forearm
shiver! Chan hits another, staggering Loki. Chan attempts a kick, but Loki
grabs his foot! Talking trash the entire time, Loki is then knocked dizzy with
a big enzuguri kick! Both men crawl to their corners and Loki makes a tag to
Train. But just seconds later, Chan tags Scythe! Scythe barrels into Train,
flooring him with a clothesline, then another, then another! Loki tries to
intervene just as Chan tosses Train over the top rope, but Scythe decks him
with a roundhouse kick! Scythe then tags Chan, signaling for their old total
elimination finisher! Chan sweeps low, but Scythe is pulled from the ring by
Train!
Scythe charges at Train, but Train manages to lift him and run him
shoulder-first into the ringpost! In the ring, Loki has jumped over the leg
sweep and nailed Chan right in the face with a superkick! With Scythe down,
Train, the legal man re-enters the ring. Train then lifts a woozy Chan,
signaling for the End of The Line! Train kicks him in the stomach, and delivers
his powerbomb with outstanding impact! Train makes a cover,
one....two....three!

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 2: RENEGADE AND ROMEO VS. CHOCOLATE WONDER AND
JON DULBERG:
The sounds of Mystikal, Ludacris, and I-20 fill the Garden as
"Move Bitch" brings the team of the Chocolate Wonder and Jon Dulberg
to the ring. They receive a very favorable reaction which is definitely matched
when "Still D.R.E." takes over and Romeo enters the arena. Romeo
waits at ringside until Nelly's "Pimpjuice" hits and Renegade steps
through the curtain to a big pop. This is a special night for Renegade because
for this night only, Romeo has allowed him to walk arm in arm with The Official
Hot Girl Camieko! The smile on the face of Renegade is a mile wide until
Camieko steps away from him and points him to the ring.
The bell sounds and Renegade stands across the ring from The Chocolate
Wonder. Knowing that only one of them will be able to advance to the
battle royal later tonight, the tag team partners offer good luck to one
another with a handshake and lock up. Wonder is the bigger and stronger of the
two and pushes Renegade towards his corner, but Renegade's speed is superior
here as he drops his body, using his leverage to pull Wonder into the corner
face-first. Wonder turns around holding his jaw and Renegade floors him with a
roundhouse kick! Renegade goes to his corner and tags in Romeo. The Hot Boy
goes right to work on Wonder, whipping him into the ropes and delivering a
thunderous powerslam! He covers, one..two...Wonder kicks out!
Romeo retreats to his corner and brings Renegade back into the fray. Renegade
whips Chocolate Wonder into the corner and laces into him with several chops
and kicks. Wonder is taking a severe beating at this point, but his knowledge
of his normal tag team partner allows him to duck a Renegade chop and mule kick
him into the corner! Renegade's breath is taken away by the force and a
desperate Chocolate Wonder hits him with the Chocolate Splash! Wonder makes the
slow crawl to his corner and tags in Jon Dulberg!
The "Human Highlight" enters with a furious attack on Renegade. He
knocks him down with a punch, then another. Dulberg whips Renegade to the ropes
and nails a high back body drop! Romeo enters the ring, but Wonder blindsides
him with a clothesline! Renegade staggers Dulberg with a savate kick, but
Wonder boots him in the gut and nails him with a fame asser! Wonder gets up to
his feet, but Romeo clotheslines him, the force sending both men over the top
rope and to the floor! With Renegade down, Dulberg cinches in The Seventh
Inning Stretch. Renegade struggles to squirm towards the ropes, but the veteran
rears back and Renegade taps out!

SEGMENT 4: MATCH 3: SPANISH FLY AND RYAN KNAKAL VS. RICK DELIGHT
AND STEVE BEOVICH:
"Alive" by P.O.D. begins and the New York City crowd
cheers immediately. These outbursts were just for the song apparently, because
Rick Delight and Steve Beovich are covered with boos once they appear. The fans
have definitely taken notice to the "Flying Terrier's" recent change
of heart, and they are now treating him accordingly. The Garden then lights up
with energy as Kool And The Gang's "Jungle Boogie" bring Ryan Knakal,
Spanish Fly and Senorita Lolita to the ring. Fly and Lolita seem to be more
pumped up then ever on this night, as a confused Knakal appears to just go with
the flow to earn a shot at the PWA Title.
The opening bell sounds and Fly starts things off with Delight. Delight
seemingly gives a nod to Knakal, who is his on-again, off-again tag team
partner. The stoic Knakal just remains focused on the ring apron while Delight
charges at Fly, hoping to catch him off guard. Spanish Fly however, simply uses
his speed and armdrags Delight to the ground. Both men get up and Delight runs
right into another armdrag. Delight is clearly frustrated at this point, but
does not seem to learn his lesson as he charges once more..right into a Spanish
Fly dropkick! Steve Beovich looks on in total disgust and asks for the tag to
show Delight how its done.
Beovich enters and puts his hand up in the air for a test of strength. After a
brief delay, Fly obliges and is met with a quick knee to the gut. Beovich then
clubs Fly down to the mat and proceeds to stomp him into the ground. Beovich
then lifts Fly and delivers a long, vertical suplex before calmly walking back
to his corner and tagging Delight back in. Delight picks up where Beovich left
off, dropping Fly with a big bodyslam. Delight bounces off the ropes and jumps
for an elbowdrop, but Fly moves out of the way and tags Ryan Knakal!
Knakal gets into the ring, but Delight takes his time getting off the mat. Rick
Delight seemingly believes that since he and Knakal are partners on occasion,
that Knakal will take it easy on him for a bit. Knakal feeds into it, lending
Delight a hand and helping him off the canvas. But once Delight reaches his
feet, "The Boss" will have none of his games and viciously
clotheslines him down to the mat to a huge pop! Knakal lifts Delight and whips
him to the ropes. Delight ducks a clothesline, but sails right into a high
impact powerslam! Knakal covers, but Delight manages to escape at two.
Delight staggers to his feet and swings wildly at Knakal. He connects, but
"The Boss" simply shrugs off the blow and nearly decapitates Delight
with a lariat! Beovich has seen enough and enters the ring. He rushes forth,
but Fly cuts him off and tosses him out of the ring! Delight is now in a bad
way and Spanish Fly climbs to the top rope. Ryan Knakal lifts Delight for
seemingly a piledriver, but turns around and faces Fly before the luchador
jumps off and they connect with a spike piledriver! Knakal turns over a limp Delight,
and the crowd noise nearly drowns out the referee's count of 1, 2, 3!

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 4: BODYCOUNT AND TRINITY VS. DAREDEVYL AND
REAPER:
Metallica's "Harvester of Sorrow" booms over the PA
system and boos pour in for the tandem of DareDevyl and Reaper. As they settle
in the ring, "Natural Born Killers" by Ice Cube and Dr. Dre takes
over and the only usual tag team lucky enough to stay together in the lottery,
Bodycount and Trinity, make their way to the ring. the amount of boos is
constant as the New York fans do not let up on the four heels.
The bell quickly sounds and Reaper attacks Trinity with several clubbing blows.
The problem is Trinity is completely oblivious to the pain. Trinity then nearly
beheads Reaper with a crushing clothesline! While Trinity dominates inside the
ring, Bodycount goes around to the other side towards DareDevyl. With DareDevyl
paying attention only to the in-ring action, Bodycount yanks him off the apron
and delivers the Monster Chokeslam on the arena floor!
At this point, Reaper knows he is sunk. Trinity whips Reaper to the ropes and
gives a brutal spinebuster for his return! Trinity then looks out at the crowd,
who is booing him louder than before. Bodycount screams out for Trinity to
finish the job as Trinity hoists Reaper into a gorilla press. Then with the
same quickness in which he was lifted, Reaper is furiously slammed to the mat
with the Almighty Sacrifice! Trinity non-chalantly covers and the referee
counts one...two...three!

SEGMENT 6: MATCH 5: JASON CALYSTO AND ANTHONY ANNETTA VS. GI JEW
AND KERRY COX:
Just as soon as the Prophecy
return through the curtain, Metallica's "Don't Tread On Me" hits and
GI Jew enters. The PWA Progressive Champion is hearing his usual share of boos,
but looks very focused with his American flag in tow. As he steps through the
ring ropes, Kiss' "War Machine" begins and things get interesting.
Kerry Cox slowly walks to the ring, but once he is inside, he gets right in the
face of GI Jew! An argument ensues between the two, but both know that a shot
at the PWA title is at stake and Cox takes his place on the apron, but with his
back to his partner. As this happens, "F*ckin In The Bushes" by Oasis
begins and the fans erupt for the holder of that title, Jason Calysto and
Anthony Annetta! These old friends are obviously happy to be back together and
look to start the contest right away.
Annetta gets into the ring and Jew goes right on the attack, leveling him with
huge right hands. Annetta struggles to get up, but Jew delivers an elbowdrop to
the spine that sends him back down. Jew lifts Annetta off the mat and wrenches
his arm over his head. With Annetta howling in pain, Jew backs toward his corner
and uses his free hand to give Cox a hard tag. Kerry Cox climbs in and gives
Annetta a sharp kick to the ribs before downing him with a suplex. Cox covers
one...two..and Annetta escapes! Annetta is searching for a tag by now and Cox
whips him to the ropes. Annetta returns, ducks a clothesline and hits a big
shoulder tackle on the second return! Annetta gets up quickly and stumbles into
his corner, where he tags "The Iceman"!
Calysto gets in and downs both Cox and Jew with fierce right hands before picking
them up and bashing their heads together! Calysto then tosses Cox into a corner
and lays into him with three hard chops before Cox is able to switch positions
and do the same to the PWA Champion. Annetta then charges Jew and forces him
into the corner and unloads on him with several punches while Cox is still
beating on Calysto.
Looking to deliver another high impact move, Cox begins to whip Calysto to the
opposite corner. But at the same time, Annetta whips Jew towards Calysto and
Cox. Jew is heading at full speed, but instinctly ducks his head low looking
for the Gore! Using his uncanny ring vision, Calysto sees this coming and
reverses Cox into Jew, where the Progressive Champion inadvertently lands the
Gore on the "Hardcore Icon"! Annetta tosses a dazed Jew over the top
rope and onto the arena floor as Calysto climbs the turnbuckles. Cox staggers
into a corner, but Annetta whips him out. Once Cox is in range, Calysto soars
off and hits the Bottom Line while Cox's momentum carries him into the move!
Calysto makes a quick cover and gets one...two...three!

7: MATCH 6: MIKE GRIFFIN AND SPEED DEMON VS. GREG
TANTALUS AND DIABETES DUDE:
"Now You're A Man" by DVDA begins over the loudspeakers
and the fans begin to boo almost instantly. Hoping to fare better than his
Double D tag team partner earlier in the evening, Diabetes Dude steps through
the curtain and into the ring. He is in for only a few seconds once Simon Says'
"Hey You" begins. The crowd heat for Greg Tantalus is absolutely
amazing! Tantalus slowly strolls his way to the ring, cockier than ever. He
wears an obvious smirk that is only magnified once his image is shown on
Gardenvision above the ring. Tantalus pounds fists with Diabetes Dude to show
their solidarity, and right after this "Parabola" by Tool begins and
Madison Square Garden explodes for Mike Griffin! running on emotion, "The
Impulse" foolishly darts into the ring and pounces on Tantalus with
furious lefts and rights!
Diabetes Dude doesn't let this go on much longer as he kick Griffin square in
the back, absolutely stopping his momentum! Dude and Tantalus then proceed to
stomp the living hell out of Griffin until "A Violent Reaction" by
American Head Charge begins. Tantalus and Diabetes Dude stop to look at the
entranceway, but only to find Speed Demon just strolling to the ring! Demon
takes his time in his arrival as his partner for the evening is getting
absolutely mauled! Demon then takes his place on the ring apron as Dude does
the same.
Tantalus continues to stomp his former partner until he attempts to lift him
for a suplex, which he lands. Tantalus attempts a cover, one...two...Griffin
kicks out! Tantalus then whips Griffin to the ropes. Griffin bounces off and
ducks a clothesline once, then twice, but runs right into a sleeperhold the
third time! Griffin is moving slowly towards his corner, close enough to
tag, but Demon does not extend his hand! Tantalus cinches the hold in tighter,
but this only wakes Griffin up as he maneuvers out and hits a belly to back
suplex!
Tantalus is stinging from landing on his back and works his way over to his
corner, tagging in Diabetes Dude. The fresh Double D does not let up on
Griffin, lifting him up and bodyslamming him hard to the mat. Dude then bounces
off the ropes and jumps high for a legdrop, but Griffin moves out of the way!
With Griffin spaghetti-legged, both men return to a vertical base. They trade
punches and a hard right hand from Griffin staggers Dude. Diabetes Dude
attempts to come back with a wild right hand, but Griffin manages to duck it
and lock on The Culmination while his back is turned! Diabetes Dude cannot
withstand the pressure and taps out!
The official signals for the bell as Tantalus darts into the ring. He charges
at Griffin, but "The Impulse" sidesteps him and tosses him over the
top rope! Speed Demon finally gets into the ring, but Griffin greets him with a
massive release German suplex! Griffin stands up and then heaves Dude over the
tope rope as Demon rolls out! The fans cheer heavily for Mike Griffin as he
cleans house and is announced as a winner.

SEGMENT 8: MATCH 7: VULTURE AND JAGUAR VS. SCOTT HOSEMANN AND THE
MACHINE:
Ring
announcer Lee Palmer gets into the ring to introduce the participants for the
final tag team match of the night. The fans erupt as the image they see on
Gardenvision is that of Jaguar's. The PWA Tag Team Champion is standing behind
the curtain alongside Romeo and Camieko. The Hot Boy$ then pound fists as
Jaguar takes a sip of water. He swallows a bit and spits the rest as N.E.R.D.'s
"Lapdance" begins. After a few seconds, Gardenvison follows Jaguar
and Camieko through the curtain and into the arena as the roof is nearly blown
off of Madison Square Garden! After their pyro shoots off in the ring, they
climb into it and pose on the turnbuckles. Finally the crowd quiets down as the
house lights fade into black.
After several moments of complete darkness, a haunting red light begins to
flicker in the ring and throughout the entranceway, as the faint beginnings of
“Song for the Deaf” by Queens of the Stone Age play over the speakers. At
this point, the diluted cross logo appears on Gardenvision, fading in and out
through blotches of red and black until, in one tremendous moment, “Song for
the Deaf” explodes full blast over the speakers, the logo fades into the word
“Vulture” and giant flames shoot out from the entryway, straight up into the
air. A red spotlight then hits the entryway, illuminating the complete
darkness in the arena, and out from behind the curtain steps Vulture. The
crowd boos vociferously as Vulture, wearing a long black leather jacket, black
leather pants, and dark black sunglasses, slowly, menacingly walks to the
ring. He walks down to the ring and slides into it under the bottom rope,
pulling himself up in the corner before walking to the center of the ring and
taking the Jesus Christ pose, prompting an array of streaming red pyro to shoot
from each of the four turnbuckles.
Jaguar and Vulture then stare one another down until the Hot Boy slides under
the bottom rope and into the ring. Jaguar gets directly in the face of Vulture
and the crowd follows, looking at Gardenvision as neither man says a word.
Their cold stares are both broken simultaneously as they extend hands and
shake! This receives a mixed reaction which turns directly into boos once John
Williams' "Imperial March" commences and "Superstar" Scott
Hosemann appears. Hosemann slowly steps towards the ring, but waits along the
entranceway for his partner. The house lights go down again, but soon flicker
faster and faster until "H-K" by Fear Factory breaks out and The
Machine steps out to a deafening response! Hosemann and The Machine are mortal
enemies, but are unified tonight for their shot at the PWA title. Both men
waste little time and dart into the ring and the timekeeper rings the bell!
The four men pair off, Vulture trading punches with The Machine while Hosemann
does the same with Jaguar. This continues until Jaguar blocks a right from
Hosemann and floors him with a right hand. Machine knocks Vulture to the mat
with a crushing left hook to the ribs, but Jaguar immediately reacts and
chopblocks The Machine! Vulture rolls out of the ring and takes his place on
the ring apron as Machine and Jaguar start the match officially.
Jaguar peppers Machine with hard, quick punches and whips him into the ropes.
Jaguar is looking for a clothesline, but The Machine levels him with a
shoulderblock! Machine then lifts Jaguar up and whips him into the corner.
Machine goes to work on Jaguar's ribs with devastating left and right hands.
Jaguar responds with a thumb to the eye in desperation. He then runs to the
ropes, but Machine nails him with a powerslam on the return! Quick cover,
one..two..Jaguar kicks out! Both men get up as Machine whips Jaguar in once
more. This time Jaguar manages to duck a clothesline and blast Machine with a
flying forearm on his way back! Both men slowly get to their corners and tag in
their partners for the night.
Hosemann immediately charges at Vulture, who responds with a cool drop toehold.
Hosemann gets up and swings at Vulture, but he sidesteps him and hooks him for
the Crimson Sunset! Sensing sure defeat, Hosemann drops down and arm drags
Vulture to the ground. Vulture gets up quickly, but Hosemann goes on the
offensive with a boot to the gut and a high knee lift. Hosemann covers quickly,
but Vulture escapes at one. They get back to a vertical base and Hosemann whips
Vulture to the ropes, but Vulture reverses it and delivers the Chill Factor
spinebuster on the return!
Seeing his partner now reeling, Machine re-enters the ring, only to be speared
down by Jaguar! Jaguar and Machine then get up and Jaguar ducks a Machine
clothesline to turn around and deliver one of his own that sends Machine onto
the arena floor! With the biggest man in the match now out of it momentarily,
Jaguar climbs to the middle rope. Vulture picks Hosemann up and delivers a
brutal backbreaker, but Vulture never lets go of his grip. Instead he drapes
Hosemann's back across his knee. Vulture looks up at Jaguar, who files off and
delivers an elbow across the chest of Hosemann! Jaguar rolls out of the ring to
keep Machine at bay as Vulture covers Hosemann, one...two....three!! Jaguar and
Vulture advance!

MATCH 8: MAIN EVENT: 14-MAN BATTLE ROYAL:
The
crowd is now ready for the main event of the evening. Lee Palmer announces the
rules of the battle royal and "Move Bitch" signals the arrival of the
first participant, The Chocolate Wonder! Wonder gets into the ring and
"Jungle Boogie" takes over as Spanish Fly enters. Next up is "A
Violent Reaction" for perhaps the freshest man of the night, Speed Demon.
Demon climbs in as "Downfall" by Trust Company brings out Train. Fear
then chokes the life out of the Garden crowd as "Natural Born Killers"
begins and the Prophecy arrive in full force. All three men climb into the ring
as "Get F*cked Up" by Miami's Iconz brings out Ryan Knakal.
"Walk" by Pantera then hits and Jon Dulberg enters the battleground.
"Parabola" by Tool then takes over, and the fans give it up for the
very impressive Mike Griffin. "The Impulse" glares at Demon until
"Lapdance" begins and Jaguar re-enters the World's Most Famous Arena.
"F*ckin' In The Bushes replays and Anthony Annetta emerges, followed by
PWA Champion Jason Calysto! The ring is now packed with 13 men and only one
remains. Everyone waits for the spectacular entrance from Vulture, but the
enigmatic superstar quietly appears from out of nowhere and attacks Calysto,
starting the match!
The bell rings and Bodycount wastes no time in showing everyone why he is here,
grabbing Spanish Fly into a gorilla press and literally launching him into the
second row! Trinity leans across the top rope, laughing at Fly's misfortune
until he is attacked from behind by Train. Trinity blocks a right hand by Train
and grabs him by the neck. With little hesitation, Trinity forcefully shoves
Train backwards, and over the top rope! The superstars now mix all around the
ring as several battles break out. Vulture is trading fists with Annetta while
Loki slugs it out with Speed Demon and Jaguar does the same with Knakal. These
battles rage on for a few seconds, until everyone focuses in on the biggest man
in the match and collectively dump Bodycount over the top! They pair off again
and Chocolate Wonder looks to deliver Sweetness to Dulberg, but his partner of
the night raises his body and puts Wonder onto the arena floor!
11 men remain in the ring, but this number is shaved to nine as Dulberg is
dumped over by Calysto and Jaguar manages to oust Knakal. Vulture gains the
upper hand on Annetta and looks to drop him over, but Loki runs up from behind
and dumps both men over the top! Vulture however, has managed to grasp the top
rope while Annetta is eliminated! Vulture slides back into the ring and
delivers a swift kick to Loki, who backs right into the Carrjack from Jaguar!
The Hot Boy then lifts a limp Loki and tosses the International Champion over
the top!
Trinity then charges at Jaguar, but he is sidestepped and Jaguar and Griffin
grasp each others' arm and clothesline the last remaining Prophecy member over
the top! While this is happening however, Speed Demon rushes from behind,
sending Griffin crashing to the floor! The final four men remain with Jaguar
battling Calysto and Demon fighting Vulture. This continues until a missed
clothesline from Jaguar leads him right into a back body drop from Demon that
sends him flying to the arena floor!
Speed Demon still appears energized and fresh, but decides to pool his efforts
with those of Vulture as they stomp away on Calysto. Demon props Calysto up
against the ropes and asks Vulture to whip him across the ring. Vulture
obliges, but Calysto drops down, lowbridging the top rope and sending Demon
crashing to the floor!
There is now a huge pop from the crowd as Vulture and Calysto begin to slug it
out in the center of the ring. The fans go on a roller coaster of emotion,
cheering for Calysto as he hoists Vulture for the Icebreaker, and then booing
Vulture as he slips out and looks for the Crimson Sunset! Calysto manages to
slip out and swing the spinning hell kick, but Vulture ducks it and looks for a
lariat. Calysto however, manages to duck this and connect with a mafia kick
that sends Vulture reeling backwards and over the top rope! "The
Iceman" wins it and now has the right to name his October 29th challenger
should he win at Hellbent!

SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
After a dazzling pyrotechnic and lighting display, Ring
Announcer Lee Palmer grabs a microphone and welcomes the Edmonton crowd to the
first-ever PWA show in The Great White North. As Palmer explains the crowd
rules for the night, he is cut off by Tool's "Parabola" and the
Canadian crowd goes berserk for Mike Griffin! "The Impulse" slaps
hands with several fans on his way to the ring, and takes Palmer's microphone
upon climbing inside.
Griffin: Well first of all, it feels good to finally be here in Canada! But I'm
pretty sure you have all seen Hellbent. It’s obvious to everyone here that I
got screwed. I don't know what the referee was thinking, but Greg Tantalus used
the ropes in order to "pin" me last night! He was just moments from
being choked out with the Culmination, but he was desperate enough to cheat for
a tainted win. So Greg, I think we have a little score to settle. And I can't
think of a better place than here in Canada to----
Griffin is cut off by "We On Fire" and The Hot Boy$, along with
Camieko, enter to a thunderous ovation! All three climb into the ring and Jaguar
takes a second microphone.
Jaguar: Griffin, you wanna talk about being screwed last night? Junior, you
don't know the half. Me and my boy right here got screwed out of our belts last
night! Trinity pinned Romeo when I was the legal man! It wasn't a Texas Tornado
match! I was the legal man, and I was never pinned. You see Mike, WE were
screwed last night! Not to say that you weren't, but you shoulda realized that
Tantalus was a snake a long time ago. There wasn't even a belt on the line in
your match anyway. So Trinity, Bodycount, we want a rematch for the PWA Tag
Team Titles tonight!
"Natural Born Killers" begins and Bodycount and Trinity quickly
appear at the curtain with their own microphone.
Trinity: You cannot be serious. After the beating we dished out last night, you
two want to fight us again?!?! While we would love to pound you guys again,
we're going to have to decline this one. Hell, we dominated you guys anyway,
so---
Trinity's words are drowned out by "Hey You" and the arrival of Greg
Tantalus! Tantalus emerges to an incredible amount of heat and quickly accepts
the stick from Trinity.
Tantalus: Mike, Mike, Mike. Its a shame how pathetic you have become. Crying
and whining because I beat you last night. Face it Mike! I am the better man!
You want a piece of me tonight? Well, just like these guys did, I say no go.
(Crowd booing tremendously) Frankly, you don't deserve to wrestle me tonight or
any other night.
The three heels turn around to leave, but they are cut off by
"Understanding In A Car Crash” and the emergence of PWA owner Bryan
Conroy!
Conroy: Well we certainly have a dilemma on our hands, don't we gentlemen?
Mike, you want to get your hands on Greg, while The Hot Boy$ want a rematch
with Trinity and Bodycount. But Greg, you don't want to fight Mike Griffin, and
The Prophecy does not want to defend their belts tonight. Well Trinity,
Bodycount, I will grant you your wish. You won't defend your titles tonight,
but you will wrestle. Greg, I saw what you did to Mike last night in your
match, and I cannot blame Mike for wanting to beat the hell out of you tonight.
You won't wrestle Mike one-on-one tonight, but you will wrestle as well. Since
Mike, Greg, Trinity and Jaguar are so talkative tonight, you four men will
compete in a tag team contest tonight. Since the belts won't be on the line
tonight, if Jaguar and Griffin win, The Hot Boy$ will be granted a rematch next
week in Winnipeg. Not to leave you two out, Bodycount and Romeo, because you
two will go one-on-one right here tonight in a street fight! This should please
everyone. The Prophecy doesn't have to defend their belts, The Hot Boy$ can
earn a rematch next week, Mike Griffin can get his hands on Greg Tantalus, and
Greg can hope that Mike does not kill him tonight. Gentlemen, have a great
evening, and good luck!
"Understanding In A Car Crash" replays and Conroy heads back though
the curtain as all six men stare angrily at their opponents.
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1: TRAIN AND THE MACHINE VS. THE LOST SOULS:
The wrestling action begins with "A Violent
Reaction" by American Head Charge blaring over the loudspeakers and Speed
Demon stepping through the curtain along with Reaper. Collectively known as the
Lost Souls, the pair step into the ring quickly and go over some last minute strategy
as Trust Company's "Downfall" takes over and the fans give a warm
welcome to Train. Train waits in the aisle instead of climbing in the already
occupied ring. As he waits, the house lights go down and the spotlights begin
to flicker as "H-K" comes on and The Machine enters to a huge
ovation! Machine pounds fists with Train and both men dart underneath the
bottom rope to start the match.
Train starts things out trading fists with Reaper, and these two men remain
inside the ring as Machine hits Demon with a clothesline that sends both men
crashing to the arena floor. Train whips Reaper to the ropes and hits a high
back body drop on his return as the bell finally sounds. Reaper gets up and is
met by a clothesline. Train then lifts Reaper to whip him again, but Reaper
reverses the whip and connects with a stunning dropkick! Reaper quickly makes a
smart tag to Speed Demon and exits the ring.
Demon quickly picks up where his partner left off, stomping Train before
holding him high in the air for a vertical suplex! Demon covers, 1---2--- Train
kicks out! Frustrated, Demon locks Train in a rear chinlock, but this only last
for a few seconds as the crowd brings Train back into the match with a back
suplex! Train is now inching over for a tag as Demon grabs his leg. The Machine
is just inches away from making the tag, but Reaper darts in and distracts the
official!
Just as the referee turns around, Train makes the tag and the arena explodes
for the Machine! Machine climbs in and tosses the Lost Souls around with
relative ease, even chucking Reaper over the top rope and onto the arena floor.
Just as Machine's momentum reaches its peak, the official informs him that he
did not see the tag! The Machine throws a fit of rage, but see Demon charging
him. Machine tosses the referee out of the way and catches the incoming Demon
with a massive Rockbottom!
The Machine gets up, but is forced to leave the ring by the referee. While this
is going on however, Reaper has entered the ring with the timekeeper's chair.
An exhausted Train gets back to his feet, but walks right into a huge
chairshot! Reaper drapes Demon's arm over the fallen body of Train, and the
official counts 1----2-----3! Reaper and Speed Demon win it!

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 2: ANTHONY ANNETTA VS. RICK DELIGHT:
Notorious B.I.G.'s "Goin' Back To Cali" begins and
the fans begin to cheer. As usual, this is only for the song because they boo
tremendously when Rick Delight appears. Delight begins to warm up in the ring
and "The Mirror" by Dream Theater begins to play. The fans are
confused by the newness of the song, but cheer loudly once they see Anthony
Annetta arrive! Annetta is sporting several welts on his battered skin after
last night's strap match with GI Jew, but looks ready to compete nonetheless.
The bell sounds Delight pounces right on Annetta with clubbing lefts and
rights, but the Italian brute easily fights him off, culminating in a huge
clothesline! Annetta lifts Delight off the mat and impressively gorilla presses
him before effortlessly slamming him to the mat!
Annetta thinks about a cover, but noticeably shrugs off the idea before nailing
a spinning legdrop on Delight. Rick Delight makes it back to his feet and
swings at Annetta, but the blow is blocked and Annetta levels Delight with a
samoan neckbreaker! Sensing that this match is almost over, Annetta signals for
some type of finisher. Annetta whips Delight off the ropes, but sidesteps his
return. Delight bounces off the other side, and Annetta just destroys his with
a vicious spinebuster! Annetta plants a knee on Delight's chest and the
official counts the academic one, two, three!

SEGMENT 4: MATCH 3: BODYCOUNT VS. ROMEO:
"Still D.R.E." begins and Romeo emerges to a huge
fan reaction! With Camieko by his side, Romeo adjusts his black bandana with
his taped fists and walks toward the ring. After a few seconds, Romeo stops and
sends Camieko to the back. This is actually met largely with cheers, because
the Canadian crowd realizes that Romeo will be looking to go to the extreme in
this fight. After Romeo enters the ring, "Cold" by Static-X begins
and silence meets the entrance of Bodycount. Bodycount stalks slowly to the
ring, but Romeo has taken the initiative, blasting him with a garbage can!
The bell sounds and Romeo continues to use the garbage can to his advantage,
hitting Bodycount about the head and shoulders. Romeo hits a shot that staggers
Bodycount, but once Romeo drops the object to his waist, Bodycount pounds it
down with furious impact! A stunned Romeo looks up, directly into a
clothesline!
Bodycount now takes control of the match, lifting Romeo up and violently
whipping him into the steel ring steps!
Bodycount takes the time out of the match to gloat to the ringside fans, and
slowly strolls towards the fallen Romeo, but the Hot Boy has reached underneath
the ring and blasts Bodycount in the forehead with a broomstick! Bodycount is
dazed slightly, but Romeo acts fast and takes a fire extinguisher from
underneath this time. Bodycount walks back towards Romeo, but Romeo cools him
off by spraying the extinguisher!
Bodycount is now temporarily blinded, and gives Romeo enough time to find a
table on the opposite side of the ring and set it up. Romeo than darts back
towards Bodycount, who is still blinded. After searching for more weapons,
Romeo finds a shovel and waits for his opponent on the ring apron. Romeo calls
out to Bodycount, making him punch wildly. Once Bodycount turns his back, Romeo
flies off and connects with the shovel to the back of his opponent's head!
Bodycount falls to the floor, and Romeo rolls him back into the ring. Bodycount
still appears to be blinded as Romeo signals for Dre Day! The crowd follows
along, believing that Romeo's strength can lift the 280-pound Prophecy member
for the move. Romeo sets Bodycount up, and lifts him into the powerbomb
position! Just as Romeo grabs the tights for extra leverage, Bodycount
instinctively clubs him in the head with a double axe handle!
Romeo falls to the canvas and Bodycount is absolutely enraged! Now able to see,
Bodycount lifts Romeo for the Monster Chokeslam, but Romeo slips below and hits
Bodycount square in the groin! Bodycount staggers and then leans across the ring
ropes, and Romeo charges from the opposite side. Romeo draws near, but
Bodycount lowers himself sending Romeo crashing through the table with a back
body drop! Seeing this, Bodycount pulls the shrapnel off of Romeo and covers
him for one, two, three!

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 4: SCOTT HOSEMANN, RYAN KNAKAL, AND GI JEW VS.
KERRY COX, CHOCOLATE WONDER, AND RENEGADE:
The early beginning of "War
Machine" begins to play and once the song grows in volume, The
"Hardcore Icon" Kerry Cox emerges to a big ovation! Cox settles in
the ring as "Move Bitch" takes over and the crowd gives a rousing
reaction to the PWA's hottest young tag team, Renegade and Chocolate Wonder!
The three babyfaces discuss some last-minute strategy as The "Imperial
March" begins. "Superstar" Scott Hosemann emerges with his
super-agent, Walter Gindin and the two men are absolutely showered with boos.
Hosemann walks towards the ring, jawing with all three men. The babyface team
all turn their attention to Hosemann to respond, but are attacked from behind
by Ryan Knakal and GI Jew, equipped with baseball bats!
Hosemann rushes to the ring apron, yanks it upwards and pulls a bat of his own
from underneath! Hosemann and Gindin climb into the ring and join the assault,
laying into Kerry Cox with the bat! Jew lifts Wonder off the mat and whips him
into the ropes. Wonder returns, but Knakal hits a homerun with a bat to his
ribs! Chocolate Wonder crumples to the mat in pain as the pair now focus on
Renegade. Knakal whips Renegade to the ropes, and GI Jew bounces off the other
side before connecting with a full-impact Gore!
The bell sounds continuously as all four heels focus their attack on Kerry Cox.
Cox never makes it back to his feet as he is peppered by the Louisville
Sluggers repeatedly. Scores of PWA officials rush in from the backstage area
and finally break up the melee, but not before Jew, Knakal and Hosemann hold
their weapons high in the air, laughing at their three bloodied victims.

6: MATCH 5: PWA INTERNATIONAL TITLE: SCYTHE © VS. JON DULBERG VS. STEVE BEOVICH
VS. LOKI:
Pantera's "Walk" begins,
signaling the entrance of "The Human Highlight" Jon Dulberg. Fresh
off of defeating his former friend, Steve Beovich at Hellbent, Dulberg is in a
good mood and looks to regain the International title tonight. As Dulberg
briefly talks to the referee, "Testify" begins and Loki emerges to a
mixed reaction. The former champion is out to regain the gold he lost just the
previous night, and steps into the ring focused on doing so. "Alive"
hits next, and an angry Steve Beovich appears, bringing a bunch of boos with
him. Beovich keeps his eyes locked on Dulberg as he steps through the ropes,
but nothing comes of this just yet because Linkin Park's "With You"
takes over and brings Scythe out to an amazing crowd response! The brand new
International Champion looks prepared for his first title defense and takes the
belt from around his waist and places it directly into the arms of the referee,
who calls for the bell.
The match begins with Dulberg and Beovich absolutely tearing into one another,
rolling around on the mat and connecting with wild punches the entire time.
Loki and Scythe also begin the match trading fists, but on a vertical base
instead. This continues until Scythe ducks a Loki right hand, and blasts
him with a roundhouse kick to the jaw. Loki falls and holds his mouth as Scythe
walks over and delivers a stomp to the back of Dulberg which breaks up the
stalemate between him and Beovich.
Beovich and Scythe proceed to stomp Dulberg into oblivion and the crowd reacts
by booing the both of them, but they cheer again after Scythe nails the
gloating Beovich with a massive clothesline! Scythe is clearly dominating the
match at this point, but turns around to find Loki's superkick connect with his
face! Loki covers, 1----2---Dulberg breaks up the pin! Dulberg then swings at
Loki, but Loki ducks underneath as Beovich dropkicks Dulberg in the face!
Beovich gets up and begins to exchange fists with Loki as Dulberg and Scythe
rise to their feet. Loki wins the exchange and knocks Beovich down, but Dulberg
sneaks up behind him and downs Loki with a german suplex! Dulberg bridges, but
only gets a two count. Beovich and Scythe continue to go at it until a missed
right hand leads to Beovich getting clotheslined outside the ring! Scythe and
Dulberg then lift Loki and drop him down with a double suplex as Beovich grabs
a chair from ringside. Loki manages to trip up Scythe with a leg sweep and gets
back to his feet. Loki and Dulberg now trade punches until Beovich climbs back
in and blasts Dulberg with the chair!
The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Beovich. The "Flying Terrier"
is now enraged and only sees Loki standing. Loki bends to grab Scythe, but
Beovich cracks him in the back with the chair! Loki falls downward, right into
a small package from Scythe for 1---2---3! Loki has been eliminated! Beovich
has since headed towards the back, as the fans boo him in disgust. A
disappointed Loki begins to chase after Beovich, who has obviously cost him a
chance at winning this match.
Dulberg is still down and Scythe attempts a quick cover, but Dulberg escapes at
two. Scythe then lifts Dulberg for a bodyslam, but Dulberg slips out and goes
behind for the Play of The Day! Dulberg hooks Scythe, but apparently didn't get
a good grip because Scythe slips out and shoves Dulberg to the ropes. Dulberg
bounces off and ducks a clothesline, but cannot avoid a huge crescent kick from
Scythe! Dulberg is now sprawled out on the mat and Scythe quickly mounts the
turnbuckles. The crowd is now split between wanting Dulberg to get up and
wanting Scythe to finish him off, but Scythe takes the decision out of their
hands as the flashbulbs pop and he connects with the Diving Blade! Scythe hooks
the leg, 1---2---3! Scythe retains!

SEGMENT 7: MATCH 6: MIKE GRIFFIN AND JAGUAR VS. GREG TANTALUS AND
TRINITY:
The Edmonton crowd prepares itself
for the intriguing main event of the night and their buzzing is broken by the
introduction of N.E.R.D.'s "Lapdance". Just as the drums begin to
take the song over, Jaguar and Camieko enter to a deafening pop! The pyro
explodes inside the ring, and they enter it soon after. Jaguar bounces off the
ropes as "Parabola" begins and the crowd once again gives Mike
Griffin an outstanding reaction. Camieko exits the ring as Griffin and Jaguar
pound fists and get ready for the match.
"Natural Born Killers" plays next, and Trinity enters to his usual
negative crowd reaction, but unlike his partner Bodycount, Trinity brings his
tag team title belt out with him on his shoulder. Trinity waits for his partner
at the entrance, and "Hey You" begins to blare over the loudspeakers.
Greg Tantalus emerges to what is easily the loudest jeering session of the
evening. Trinity and Tantalus begin to head to the ring, but Jaguar and
Griffin head right out after them and the four begin brawling in the aisle!
They fight all the way to the ring and then inside, as Trinity tosses Griffin
over the top rope and Jaguar subsequently dropkicks Trinity up and over. Jaguar
shouts at Trinity, but turns around to a Tantalus clothesline that nearly
decapitates the Hot Boy! The bell sounds as Tantalus works Jaguar over with
stomps and kicks. Jaguar struggles to his feet, but Tantalus sends him back
down with a bodyslam. Tantalus looks ready to make a cover, but instead drops
an elbow before tagging in Trinity.
Trinity begins his usual high-impact offense on Jaguar, blasting him with two
hard rights and powerslamming him down to the canvas. Trinity makes a cover,
but gets just a two count. Looking to wear down Jaguar, Trinity locks on a
sleeperhold. Jaguar begins to fade, but the crowd brings him back into the
match as he breaks the hold following four elbows to the gut. Jaguar bounces
off the ropes, but Trinity folds him up with a spinebuster on the return!
Trinity then tags out to Tantalus, who comes in and taunts Jaguar with slow
jabs to the face.
Tantalus then swings a knockout right, but Jaguar blocks it and floors Tantalus
with a right of his own! Tantalus gets up, but is sent back down by another
stiff right. Jaguar bounces off the ropes, ducks a Tantalus clothesline, hits
the other side and ducks another clothesline before connecting with a flying
forearm smash! The crowd is now begging for a tag to Griffin, and Jaguar lunges
forth and makes it!
Mike Griffin comes in and takes care of Trinity by catching him sleeping and
knocking him off the ring apron! A dazed Tantalus gets up, and walks right into
a blazing knife-edge chop from Griffin! Griffin shoots Tantalus into the ropes
and hits a high back body drop on his return! Jaguar heads towards Trinity and
the two rivals begin brawling once more as Tantalus swings at Griffin, but
misses, and Griffin begins the rolling german suplexes! Just as Griffin hits
the third suplex, Trinity knocks Jaguar over the security barricade and the two
begin to fight in the Edmonton crowd!
Jaguar and Trinity brawl out of view and the referee follows them. Griffin
looks to head up for his moonsault, but he is stopped by Bodycount, who has
emerged from the back! Bodycount knocks Griffin from his perch, straddling him
on the steel turnbuckle! Just as this happens, the crowd roars because Jaguar
has managed to Carrjack Trinity in the crowd! Bodycount quickly runs through
the crowd to catch Jaguar, who begins to run. Tantalus stirs in the ring, and
looks for a superplex. But just as Tantalus hooks Griffin for the move,
Tantalus begins to move backwards, courtesy of a bandaged Romeo, who has also
come from the back! Romeo has Tantalus perched on his shoulders and Griffin
looks at the crowd, shrugs and flies off, completing the Hot Boy$ Heatwave! The
referee darts back into the ring just as Romeo leaves it, and Griffin hooks
Tantalus' leg for 1-----2-----3!
