EPISODE #3.17
BARCLAYS CENTER
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2012
Watch the video below for the show-opening video package and The Rebirth
opening credits
***
As the video concludes, we are taken inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn,
New York, where an astonishing pyrotechnic display ensues and we are taken to
our commentators, Victor Troy and Randall Buckingham.
Troy: Hello everyone and welcome to PWA:
The Rebirth! I’m Victor Troy, along here with Randall Buckingham, and we are
making our debut in Brooklyn! We’re here in the beautiful, brand-new Barclays
Center, and this Brooklyn crowd is electric!
Buckingham: And why shouldn’t they be?! Tonight, in our main event, Brooklyn’s
favorite son, The Iceman Jason Calysto, will challenge Chase Stone for the PWA
World Heavyweight Championship!
Troy: It’s the biggest challenge of Chase Stone’s young title reign, and
perhaps the biggest of his entire young career, and that it comes just 18 days
before Everlasting Epic VIII and the Seven Deadly Sins match only raises the
stakes!
Buckingham: Both of these men will compete in the Seven Deadly Sins match for
the PWA Championship at EE8 regardless, but the winner of this match will very
likely carry the title into Citi Field on October 20th, which is a HUGE honor!
Troy: An honor that Chase Stone most definitely does NOT deserve, after
stealing the championship from Evan Black two weeks ago on this program.
Hopefully The Iceman can remedy that tonight!
Buckingham: You are so biased, Troy! If Chase Stone is meant to take the PWA
Championship into Everlasting Epic, he’ll find a way to walk out of here with
the title!
Troy: We’ll find out later tonight! Folks, that’s just one of four one-on-one
contests between Seven Deadly Sins participants that you’ll see tonight! We’ll
also see, for the first time ever on television, Jaguar go one-on-one with
Showtime Damon Savage!
Buckingham: Also tonight, Evan Black takes on the Modern-Day Samurai Scythe!
Troy: And Da Playboi Romeo will head to battle with Anthony Failla! But that’s
not all!
Buckingham: Sure isn’t! We’re also going to see a SIN vs. The Absolved six-man
tag team match for the ages! The SIN contingent of Greg Tantalus, Jackie
Baccaro, and James Biamonte takes on The Absolved’s Vulture, John Wolfe, and Chris
Duval!
Troy: That should be something else, and so should this one! One half of the
PWA Tag Team Champions Markus Krieg goes one-on-one with Rich Revis! Folks,
we’re chock-full of Everlasting Epic previews tonight, so let’s get right to
it! Our opening contest begins right now!

MATCH #1 – JAGUAR VS. SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE
Referee: Dan Martin
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from commercial, we are taken to a scene of great confusion in creative
director Justin Schenck’s office. The noise level in the office is at an
all-time high, and as the camera pans around the room, we can see it filled
with a litany of people. There is the International Champion Matthew Magellan,
his manager and girlfriend Jade, the former champion Jon Dulberg, and his
bodyguard Briggs. There is the Progressive Champion Juan Pablo Alvarez and his
cousin Ana Maria Linares. Fellow cruiserweights Asai Moon, Fenix Clarke, Paul
Epton, and Dexter P. Wellington are also in the room, as are Maddox Tate,
Pitbull, Michael Grieco, and Hall of Famer Kerry Cox. Not only are all these
people in Schenck’s office, but they are all arguing. Conspicuous by his absence
in this scene is Justin Schenck himself, so the arguing continues without
direction for several moments. Then, Schenck finally emerges, and gets
everyone’s attention with a strong whistle. He then moves over to his desk and
glares at Alvarez, who had taken it upon himself to sit in Schenck’s chair and
put his feet up on his desk. After several moments of Schenck’s glare, Alvarez
sighs and stands up. Schenck then takes his seat and addresses the room.
Schenck: Alright people, listen up! It’s
a VERY busy night tonight, so we’re gonna make this quick. You’re probably
wondering why I called you all in here like this, but wonder no more. The
reason you’re all crammed in my office right now is so I can announce the
International and Progressive title matches for Everlasting Epic VIII on
October 20th. And, I’ll get right down to it: both championships will be
decided in the same type of match. That match will be a six-man elimination
match.
An excited buzz now fills the room.
Schenck: We’ll start with the Progressive
title. Juan Pablo Alvarez, you are going to defend that title against Fenix
Clarke, Paul Epton, Asai Moon, Dexter P. Wellington, and the former champion, a
man who is still recovering but will be ready to go by Everlasting Epic, Saif
al Abbad.
Alvarez: I have to defend my title against five men?! What is the meaning of
this?!
Ana Maria: This is an outrage!
Schenck: Just be thankful I made this an elimination bout. At least now you
can’t lose the title unless you’re beaten. Now go be outraged outside of my
office. And that goes for all the Progressive title match participants. Out you
go. Let’s clear this room out.
With that, Alvarez, Ana Maria, Wellington, Clarke, Epton, and Moon exit the
office, thinning it out a bit.
Schenck: Ok, now you all know that the
International title will also be defended in a six-man elimination match at EE.
But you might notice that there are seven men standing here. Magellan, you’ll
obviously be in the match, defending your title. Dulberg, you are owed a
rematch, so you’re in. Grieco, you’re a three-time champion, so you’re in. And
Tate, Pitbull, I want to see what you two can do in this kind of environment,
so you’re both in. So that’s five spots secure, and one up for grabs. And that
leaves you, Briggs, and you, Cox. Now, you two interfered quite liberally in
the Magellan-Dulberg International title bout last week, and there have to be
ramifications. So Briggs, Kerry, you two will go one-on-one to determine which
one of you competes for the International Championship at Everlasting Epic, and
which one of you is on the outside looking in on October 20th. Oh, and
gentlemen… your match… is TONIGHT. Good luck.
Cox and Briggs then intensely stare each other down as the shot fades.
***
A
graphic reading “last week” flashes upon the screen as we are taken to a locale
featuring white sand and a luxurious beach shoreline. Nick Cade appears in the
shot at this time, with a curved palm tree in the background.
Cade: Nick Cade here, folks. I have to say, it has been very interesting
covering the training regimens of the Seven Deadly Sins participants, and one
of this week's assignments has brought me to this amazing beach here in Lahaina,
Hawaii. We are here, on location, at the request of Scythe. Come along as we
get an in depth look at the Modern-Day Samurai himself.
We find Scythe resting atop a large, blackened rock, which is seated along
the shore as waves crash into it. After a few moments, Cade takes a place next
to the proud warrior, and the camera zooms in on them, rather than attempting to
climb the perch.
Cade: Scythe, thank you for inviting us here. Seriously, thank you. This is
a beautiful location.
Scythe: Thank you for joining me, Nick.
Cade: Our pleasure. Now Scythe, we know that you're from Southern California,
but what brings us out to this secluded area in Hawaii?
Scythe: In a word Nick, serenity. The life we lead as PWA wrestlers is a
constant grind. City to city, state to state, country to country. It can weigh
on you heavily if you aren't mentally and physically prepared to handle it.
This is where I seek my serenity.
Cade: Why search for serenity now, especially with Seven Deadly Sins looming just
a few weeks away?
Scythe: This is as good a time as there is, Nick. It’s the calm before the
storm. Being here helps me understand why I'm doing this. It sharpens my mind,
and allows me to focus on my clear goal of reclaiming the PWA Championship. It
has been eight long years since that June night in Houston when I claimed the
title in the Symphony of Destruction, and it’s a feeling that I deserve to
reclaim, more than any other.
Cade: That may be indeed correct, Scythe. At this year's Symphony of
Destruction, you had the good fortune of entering the match as its 30th and
final participant, but also the misfortune of an injury prior to the match
which may have cost you that reclamation. Do you regret the decision that
ultimately led to that occurrence?
Scythe: Not at all. While many may not understand it, my participation in the
six-man tag against SIN is a part of why we still have a PWA at all. My career and
my life are based on honor and doing what I know is the right thing. If I
hadn't done it, I would not have been blessed with this second opportunity coming
up at Everlasting Epic. At Everlasting Epic III, I became the first man to
successfully defend the PWA Championship at that event, and I defied all of
those odds. Today, things are different. Issues with numerous competitors, and
personal trials and tribulations have taken me off of my path. But I am now
back on track, and all roads lead to Citi Field and regaining that title.
Cade: What would you say about the other seven paths that lead there as well?
Scythe: I'd say they are not my concern, Nick. I don't need to be caught up in
personal potshots or proclaiming how much better I am than everyone else. These
boasts that others make are what sets me apart. They may waste their time
comparing and contrasting, but that does not interest me. All that interests me
is my own focus. In one moment, I may be as serene as this early evening sky,
and in the next, as violent and forceful as the next wave that hits this stone.
I have sat back for far too long, and whether seven paths intertwine with mine,
or whether 70 do, no one is as focused on the prize as I am.
Cade: Now that we've covered the mental aspects of what led you here to Hawaii,
what type of physical benefits does this location offer you?
Scythe: As you mentioned earlier, my home is in Simi Valley, Southern
California. However, I have trained here for many years, several hundred miles
off the Pacific Coast, for a few reasons. It is the best locale for endurance
training, and as we know, Seven Deadly Sins is the ultimate test of endurance.
Cade: In what ways does it help?
Scythe: The primary way is something even you are experiencing at this moment: air
quality. SoCal is notorious for its smog and poor air quality, and very early
on in my career, I noticed that training there would lead to me losing my wind
quicker in the ring. My training with The Dragon then led me here to Hawaii,
where I followed his footsteps and turned endurance into my biggest strength.
Training here in the pure air and heat of Hawaii led to being comfortable in an
Iron Man match in Florida, where I vanquished Solomon, and my endurance has
never been better.
Cade: Well let’s take a look at how you train.
A video package then begins, set to “Crash” by Decyfer Down, showcasing
Scythe's long runs along the beach. Our cameras follow him from the front, in a
pickup truck, as the former world champion jogs behind, never losing either his
pace or his wind as he does so. Upon completion, Scythe continues to use the
Earth's natural elements to assist his cause. He strengthens his legs
by using plyometric philosophies, digging his heels in the sand before jumping
straight up onto a rock with immeasurable burst and explosion. He then focuses
his upper body in the Pacific Ocean, fighting against the current of the
crashing waves – and winning the battle. The package concludes with the sun
setting on the beach, and Scythe again perched atop the same rock, his mind and
body in tune, every bit as sharp as his namesake, as he hones in on reclaiming
the PWA Championship at Everlasting Epic VIII.

the video below for
MATCH #2 – ANTHONY FAILLA VS. ROMEO
Referee: Jose Soares
Apparently not satisfied with the damage he’s already caused, Failla walks back
over to Romeo and lifts the steel steps again! Just as he’s about to clobber Da
Playboi with them, however, Jaguar rushes out to the ring, wielding a lead
pipe! Rather than get himself into a brawl with a fired-up Jaguar, Failla
tosses the steps at him and hops the guardrail, exiting through the crowd to
boos.
Jaguar then turns his attention to Romeo, helping him up. However, a frustrated
Romeo responds by shoving his best friend! A befuddled Jaguar simply stands
there as Romeo screams “I can handle my own business!” He then storms to the
back.
Troy: What just happened there?!
Buckingham: It’s like we talked about earlier, Troy! There are no friends in
the Seven Deadly Sins match! Romeo isn’t watching Jaguar’s back, and he doesn’t
want Jaguar watching his either!
Troy: Maybe so, but if it wasn’t for Jaguar, Failla might have taken Romeo out
of the Seven Deadly Sins match altogether!
Buckingham: I think that’s a risk he was willing to take!
Troy: In any event, folks, we have to take a commercial break! Stay with us,
though, lots still to come!
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from break, we are taken to The Absolved’s locker room, where John Wolfe
and Chris Duval are chatting with Alexis Duval and Morgan Day. The chatter
stops when Vulture enters the room.
Vulture: Ladies, can you excuse us for a
minute?
Alexis and Morgan oblige, and Morgan gives her husband a kiss on the cheek
on the way out.
Morgan: Be careful tonight.
Vulture: I will.
Vulture then addresses his son and future son-in-law.
Vulture: I’m pretty sure I don’t need to
tell either one of you how big tonight’s match is, but I’m gonna do it anyway.
Tonight, we get the opportunity to finally take on SIN, three-on-three, our men
against theirs. Chris, without mincing words, you got your ass handed to you
last week by Tantalus. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, but it should give you
an idea of exactly what we’re up against. Jackie Baccaro wants to beat the
living shit out of both of you, and at this point in your careers, he might be
able to do it. And James Biamonte is the kind of guy you NEVER want to
underestimate. This is going to be a big learning opportunity for both of you
as we roll into Everlasting Epic. Take what you learn tonight, and apply it to
your tag team match against Baccaro and Biamonte at Citi Field. As for me, not
only is it a chance to mix it up a little with Tantalus before Hell in a Cell,
but we’re in the second to last Rebirth, and I haven’t won a match all goddamn season.
I am NOT going the entire season without a win. I don’t care what we have to
do, but we are NOT losing tonight. You understand me?
Duval and Wolfe nod at Vulture.
Vulture: Good. I’ll see you boys out
there.
Vulture then turns and exits the room, leaving John Wolfe and Chris Duval
to ponder his words.
***
The
camera now returns ringside to our commentators, Victor Troy and Randall
Buckingham.
Troy: Alright folks, that six-man tag
team match between The Absolved and SIN is still to come a little later
tonight, but before we get to that, let’s take a minute to talk about The
Rebirth Awards!
Buckingham: That’s right, Troy. One week from tonight, we have our series
finale of PWA: The Rebirth, but we will be on the NOW Network one last time two
weeks from tonight, when we present The Rebirth Awards, live from world-famous
Carnegie Hall in Manhattan!
Troy: And folks, we can’t divulge much information about the ceremony at this
time, but we can tell you to check the official PWA Twitter feed on Friday
morning, when we tweet out all the categories and nominees!
Buckingham: The judging period for the awards will span from the very first
episode of this program back in May of 2010 all the way through next week’s
series finale. And Troy, I know there’s ONE piece of information we can give
away right now.
Troy: Indeed there is! Hosting this event will be PWA Hall of Famer Mike
Tortorici!
Buckingham: We haven’t seen Tortorici since his unfortunate run-in with Solomon
on this program towards the end of the second season, so it will be great to
see him again two weeks from tonight!
Troy: Again, the PWA will present The Rebirth Awards on Tuesday night, October
16, live from Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, and it should be a—
Suddenly, Darkseed’s “Hear Me” explodes onto the speakers and the fans boo
loudly as the Alaskan Monster Solomon begins stalking his way to the ring.
Troy: What the hell is HE doing out here?!
Buckingham: Whatever he damn well pleases!
Appearing to be in an unpleasant mood as usual, Solomon grabs a microphone
and enters the ring.
Solomon: Last week, I was granted an opportunity to
enter the Seven Deadly Sins match if I could first defeat three opponents in
succession at Everlasting Epic. It will be two mystery opponents and then GI
Jew. For most of the past week, I’ve been angry about this. I know exactly what
Justin Schenck was trying to pull, and I was angry I allowed him to get away with
it. He knew that the Everlasting Epic buyrate would crumble without Solomon on
the show, and he did what he had to do to make sure that didn’t happen, while at
the same time not compromising his plan for the match. But there’s simply no
reason for me to be angry, because Schenck’s plan will fail. For a mortal man,
this would be too much to overcome. But I am no mortal man. I am Solomon, the
Alaskan Monster, the most dominant force in the history of the PWA. I NEED to
be involved in Seven Deadly Sins for the match to even mean anything. And
that’s why I WILL defeat two mystery opponents, I WILL defeat GI Jew for the
three millionth time, and I WILL, on the very same night, enter and win the
Seven Deadly Sins match to become the final PWA World Heavyweight Champion!
With
that, Solomon tosses the mic to the mat and exits as “Hear Me” replays.
Buckingham: Solomon is confident, Troy,
and I see no reason to doubt him!
Troy: It would take a Herculean effort to accomplish what Solomon just claimed
he would accomplish, but love him or hate him, the Alaskan Monster is a man who
is capable of seemingly impossible feats! Folks, we’ll be right back!
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
We
return from break with creative director Justin Schenck walking through the
backstage hallway, clearly in search of something. It appears he has found what
he’s looking for when he reaches GI Jew, who is icing his right knee.
Schenck: Hey, what’s going on?
Jew glares at Schenck suspiciously.
Jew: Nothing. What do you want?
Schenck: Where were you a few minutes ago?
Jew: Take a look at the icepack on my knee and think about that for a few
seconds before you ask me that again.
Schenck: Listen, you don’t need to sass me. I just couldn’t figure out why
Solomon was allowed to go on and on about how he was going to beat three guys,
including you, and then go on to win the Seven Deadly Sins match at Everlasting
Epic. It seemed to me like a great time for you to ride your Chopper out to the
ring and put him in his place. But whatever. What’s wrong with your knee?
GI Jew stares at Schenck incredulously.
Jew: Are you kidding me? Justin, I’ve had five
surgeries on this knee. You booked me in a match before the show went on the
air tonight. Do you remember that? Well, EVERY SINGLE TIME I step into the
ring, I’m in pain. Tonight, all I really did was Gore the shit out of Dex
Wellington, so it’s not as bad as usual. You’ve honestly never noticed this
before?
Schenck: Well look, everything you do for this company is appreciated. You know
that.
Jew: Do I? That’s why you were coming over here to chastise me about not going
out to the ring? You know why I didn’t go out to the ring? Because there’s no
point. I may not even face Solomon at Everlasting Epic. I may not even have a
match on the last show in PWA history, because I need to be your backup plan to
keep a guy out of the Seven Deadly Sins match that lost his qualifier. How
would that even work anyway? What happens if Solomon beats your two mystery
guys and then beats me?
Schenck: We’d sort it out in the cage, the Sixth Sin. We’d still have one elimination
per round, and when we get to the cage, we’d have four guys left instead of the
normal three, and there would be two eliminations in the cage instead of one.
We’d still have two people in the Seventh Sin, no matter what.
Jew: So you have a plan to accommodate nine guys then.
Schenck: Yeah.
Jew: So then why is it only Solomon that has the chance to get into the Seven
Deadly Sins match he DIDN’T qualify for? Why not offer that ninth spot to
whoever beats Solomon?
Schenck: Because I frankly do not want there to be nine guys in Seven Deadly
Sins.
Jew: So then why is this match even happening?! You mean to tell me that if
Solomon gets past those first two guys and then beats me, that means he
deserves a spot, but if I beat him, I don’t?
Schenck: Please don’t make this difficult for me. You were supposed to—
Jew: I know. I was supposed to be your white knight, so that you could make the
cowardly decision to get Solomon onto the show and I’d just bail you out. And
if Solomon gets past your two mystery guys and faces me, I’ll be more than
happy to finish what he and I started a LONG, long time ago. I hate that guy,
and he hates me, and there’s just not much more to say about it. I’ve never
beaten him, and I may never get another shot after EE, if I even get the shot
then. And being the guy to knock Solomon out of the Seven Deadly Sins match
once and for all would be pretty sweet. But Schenck, I just can’t shake this
feeling that what I get out of this and what you get out of this aren’t close
to equal. I’m doing you a favor. And I don’t do favors for free.
Schenck: I’m sorry, but I can’t change the stipulation. Win or lose, neither
you nor any of Solomon’s other prospective opponents will be entering the Seven
Deadly Sins match. All I can offer you is this: if Solomon gets to you and you
beat him, I’ll owe you one.
Jew
glares at Schenck for several moments before standing up and violently chucking
his ice pack against the wall. He then stares Schenck down for several more
seconds before walking off.
***
The
camera shifts to Kerry Cox’s dressing room, where the Hardcore Icon is taping
his wrists, preparing for his match against Briggs momentarily. However, before
he can finish, he is approached by his former protégé Jon Dulberg.
Dulberg: So you’re REALLY gonna go
through with this, huh?
Cox: Why shouldn’t I?
Dulberg: Because it’s pointless. Do you really think you can stand in there
with a guy like Briggs and survive? You’re gonna get hurt, Kerry. You’re gonna
get hurt bad. And when Briggs beats you to qualify for the International title
elimination match at Everlasting Epic, it’s gonna seal the match for me. Briggs
will help me run through everyone, and then it’s gonna be ME walking away the
last International Champion.
Cox smirks at him.
Dulberg: What’s so funny?
Cox: The fact that, in all the time we worked together, Jon, you learned
absolutely nothing.
Dulberg: And that’s exactly how much you’ve accomplished in that time.
Cox: Don’t ever make the mistake of counting me out, Jon. I’m not a Hall of
Famer for nothing.
Cox then pats Dulberg in the back and walks off, headed for the ring.
Troy: It’s Kerry Cox vs. Briggs, a spot
in the Everlasting Epic International title match up for grabs, and it’s next!

MATCH #3
– KERRY COX VS. BRIGGS
Referee: Matt Hansen

The camera now shifts to the backstage area, where we find SIN in its entirety
huddled outside their dressing room. They then break the huddle, and Greg
Tantalus leads Jackie Baccaro, James Biamonte, Lauren Tantalus, and Dee Licious
toward the entrance to the arena. Noticing the camera, Tantalus lunges at the
cameraman, startling him and causing him to nearly drop the expensive piece of
equipment. SIN then laughs at the cameraman as they continue their march to the
ring.
Troy: It’s SIN vs. The Absolved in a
six-man tag team match, and it’s coming up right after this! We’ll be right
back!

MATCH #4 – SIX-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH:
SIN [GREG TANTALUS, JACKIE BACCARO & JAMES BIAMONTE] VS. THE ABSOLVED [VULTURE,
JOHN WOLFE & CHRIS DUVAL]
Referee: Tom Stevens
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from commercial, we are taken to the backstage area, where backstage
reporter Scott Cornelius is standing by with Don Cerrone and The Hollywood
Miracle.
Cornelius: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
back to The Rebirth. My guests at this time are three individuals who are no
strangers to controversy, The Hollywood Miracle and the Standard Sleaze Don
Cerrone. Don, let’s start with you.
Cerrone: Let’s hear it, daddy-o.
Cornelius: The way all three of you treated Kemi Okoro a couple weeks ago was
appalling, but you, Don Cerrone, your actions were the worst of all. Your
mind-numbingly sexist rant went far beyond the limits of good taste, and you
should be ashamed of yourself.
Cerrone: I have no shame, Scott. And that little piggy deserved it. Her piggly
wiggly eating habits were getting in the way of our strategizing. We’re the
real victims here. Isn’t that right, gents?
The Miracle Mike Troha and Hollywood Mike Griffin nod in agreement.
Cornelius: So you two are really gonna go
there? You’re going to support this man’s actions?
Troha: I see no reason not to.
Cornelius: Well, you might be forced to eat those words, because last week,
when you tried to bully and intimidate Kemi again, Paul Dawkins and Renegade
came to her rescue. And I can now announce that one final match has been added
to the Everlasting Epic card: The Hollywood Miracle, with Don Cerrone in their
corner, taking on Paul Dawkins and Renegade, with Kemi Okoro in THEIR corner!
What do you have to say about that?
Griffin: I say it’s a waste of two of the biggest stars in the history of this
company. I main evented Everlasting Epic II, and now I’m relegated to this? But
whatever, it is what it is. We’re going to DESTROY Dawkins and Renegade at EE8.
Troha: Beat them beyond recognition.
Griffin: They got lucky in Philadelphia.
Troha: SO lucky.
Griffin: And on October 20th, their luck runs dry.
Cerrone: And if Kemi wants to get in my way, I’ll make her pay dearly.
Voice: Is that right?
The three then turn around to see that the voice belongs to Kemi Okoro, who
walks onto the set flanked by Paul Dawkins and Renegade!
Kemi: You wanna try saying that to my face?!
Cerrone gets right in Kemi’s face.
Cerrone: I’ve got two words for you, little
piggy: OINK. OINK.
Kemi then smirks before walloping Cerrone in the jaw with a ferocious right
hand, knocking him out! Troha and Griffin are flabbergasted, and Paul Dawkins
in particular seems extremely amused and impressed by Kemi. However, within
seconds, a full-fledged brawl between the two teams has broken out,
necessitating immediate intervention from backstage officials. As the officials
attempt to restore order, we head back to ringside.

MATCH #5 – MARKUS KRIEG VS. RICH REVIS
Referee: Jose Soares
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
We return from commercial in the interview area, where backstage reporter is
standing with the PWA Women’s Champion Zina.
Traci: We are back here on The Rebirth,
and right now, I have the privilege of standing with perhaps the most dominant
Women’s Champion in PWA history, Zina. Now Zina, last week, we learned a few
interesting things about your PWA future. Number one, you will be facing Keiko
Ishida at Everlasting Epic VIII on October 20th at Citi Field, no matter what.
But number two, before we get there, on the series finale of The Rebirth next
week, you will put your Women’s Championship on the line in a fatal fourway
match against Keiko Ishida, Morgan Day, and Lauren Tantalus. That means if you
lose the title to either Morgan or Lauren next week, THEIR match at EE8 will be
for the Women’s title, and your match with Keiko will be a simple grudge match.
What are your thoughts on these two huge matchups?
Zina: Traci, I don’t—
Before Zina can get out another word, her train of thought is broken as
Keiko Ishida walks onto the set. Keiko stares at Traci Reed, trying to
intimidate her into running off set. However, Zina puts her arm up and turns to
Traci.
Zina: You stay.
Zina then turns and faces her Everlasting Epic VIII opponent.
Keiko: Enjoy that Women’s Championship
while you can, Zina. Because next week, in our fatal fourway match, I’m going
to become the first and only five-time PWA Women’s Champion. And I don’t even
have to beat you to do it. I could pin Morgan Day. I could pin Lauren Tantalus.
It doesn’t matter. And then after I’ve won the Women’s Championship, I’ll walk
into Everlasting Epic with the advantage. You will have to beat me, but I won’t
have to beat you. And I’ll do whatever it takes to walk out of Citi Field with
the title intact. So, like I said, enjoy the title while you can. Because seven
days from now, it’s going to be gone. Gone forever.
Zina is poised to respond, never breaking her cold stare, but before she
can, the set is invaded by Morgan Day.
Morgan: I hate to break up your little
debate, but I felt the need to throw my two cents in here. You two ARE going to
have a match at Everlasting Epic, and Keiko, love, I hate to say this, but
you’re going to lose. But I didn’t come here to talk about Everlasting Epic. I
came here to talk about next week. You see, you can talk about winning the
fatal fourway all you want, but it’s gonna be ME that wins the fatal fourway,
not either of you. I’M going to become the first and only five-time Women’s
Champion next week, and then I’ll go on to successfully defend the title at EE8
against Lauren Tantalus. So again, sorry to rain on your parade, but your EE
match won’t be for any title.
Before either woman can respond, an angry Lauren Tantalus storms onto the
set.
Lauren: Can I EVER get a little respect
around here?! Maybe the only way for me to earn respect is to go out next week
and take it. So that’s EXACTLY what I’m gonna do. You want to talk about
somebody being the first and only five-time PWA Women’s Champion? Well, I’m at
four title reigns, just like the rest of you. The only difference is, no matter
what you’ve all said, I’m gonna be breaking this four-way tie next week. I’m
gonna win back the Women’s Championship that I held three times before any of
you even walked through the front door here, and then Morgan, at Everlasting
Epic, I’m taking you down. You can count on that.
Lauren and Morgan now begin arguing, while Keiko tries to shout over them.
However, Zina is done fooling around. With Keiko’s back turned to her, the
Women’s Champion blasts her with the Siberian Express bicycle kick right to the
back, which knocks Keiko into Lauren and Morgan and sends all three of them
tumbling to the ground! Zina then stands over them and calls Traci over to her.
Zina: As I try to say before, I don’t see
defeat in my future. Next week, you all will lose. And at Everlasting Epic, I
will have ultimate victory.
With that, Zina walks off, with Traci Reed following quickly behind. Keiko,
Lauren, and Morgan sit on the ground in disbelief as we head back to ringside.

MATCH #6 – EVAN BLACK VS. SCYTHE
Referee: Matt Hansen
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from break, we see Evan Black receiving congratulations from several
backstage workers. He continues down the line until he stops in his tracks. The
camera switches to his viewpoint, and we can see that he has crossed paths with
the PWA World Heavyweight Champion Chase Stone. Rage fills Black’s face as
Stone slowly and mockingly applauds him, a smug grin on his face.
Stone: Great job tonight, EB. You
accomplished something that I did about three months ago. Well done.
Black: (through gritted teeth) The ONLY reason you’re over here right now is
because Justin Schenck banned us both from a physical confrontation outside of
the ring, because if he didn’t, we both know you wouldn’t have the balls to
come anywhere near me.
Stone: Are you STILL bitter about what happened two weeks ago? You really need
to let that go. It was just business, EB. Nothing personal.
Black: You can’t seriously expect me to let bygones be bygones after you
screwed me out of the world title.
Stone: If it makes you feel any better, I was going to beat you anyway. We were
just running out of time on the broadcast, and I wanted to make sure all the
fans at home caught my victory. All I did was speed up the inevitable.
Black glares angrily at Stone for several moments before composing himself
and responding.
Black: Chase, I can’t WAIT to see Jason
Calysto smack that smug look off your face tonight and take that PWA title from
you.
Stone: I’m afraid you’re going to be very disappointed.
Black: Trust me, I’m not. Two weeks ago, you proved the kind of man you are.
Jason Calysto is gonna slap you in that Crossface, and you’re gonna tap like a
bitch within seconds.
Stone: You’d like that, wouldn’t you? You can’t actually believe that, though.
You were in the ring with me. You couldn’t keep up with me. Sure, maybe I
cheated to seal the deal, but what momentum did you really have going against
me?
Black: You can double-talk all you want, but you’re losing to Jason Calysto
tonight, and when we get to Seven Deadly Sins, on my way to taking back the
title you stole from me, I’m gonna personally see to it that you’re eliminated.
Stone: You’re entitled to your opinion, but it’s dead wrong on both counts. Did
you ever consider the fact you might be seriously underestimating me? I’ll see
you later, EB.
Stone then tosses the title belt over his shoulder and walks off, leaving a
glaring Evan Black behind.
***
The
camera now shifts to the dressing room of The Iceman Jason Calysto, who is seen
taping his wrists. The Brooklyn crowd cheers wildly when it sees Calysto on
screen. Moments later, a production assistant knocks on the door and enters.
Production assistant: Excuse me, Mr.
Calysto.
Calysto: What’s up?
Production assistant: Mr. Schenck wants to see you.
Calysto: Right now?
Production assistant: Yes, right now.
Calysto sighs and exits the room, heading for creative director Justin
Schenck’s office. When he enters, he is surprised to see not Justin Schenck
inside, but Vulture. The two are clearly surprised to see each other, and the first
few moments of their encounter are awkward, with neither muttering anything
audible.
Vulture: So, uh, congrats on another EE
main event.
Calysto: Thanks. Will be hard to top our match last year, but I’ll do my best.
Vulture: Last year. Don’t remind me.
Calysto: Yeah sorry, I—
Vulture: I’m joking. I’m fine with it. I haven’t been in a good way for a
while, but I have no excuses for that night. I gave you my best and you were
just one step ahead of me.
Calysto: It could have gone either way. You know that, right? I should have
reached out earlier, with all you were going through. All this started that
night. But I hope you know you were THIS close to pulling it out. It took
EVERYTHING I had to beat you.
Vulture: Trust me, I know that. My problems started AFTER our match ended, when
I collapsed backstage. During our match, I felt great. I felt I could do this
another 20 years. I’m sure you feel that way all the time.
Calysto: Yeah, but it’s when we’re NOT in the ring that we realize how old we
are.
Vulture: Ain’t that the truth.
The two longtime friends share a laugh as the door swings open. They are
again expecting Justin Schenck, but again it is not him. This time, it is
Jaguar.
Jaguar: Ok, what’s going on here?
Calysto: We were just wondering the same thing.
Voice: I’ll tell you what’s going on.
The three all turn around to see Justin Schenck, having finally arrived.
Schenck: Sorry to keep you all waiting.
It’s been a REAL busy night.
Vulture: Why are we here, Justin?
Calysto: Yeah, some of us are challenging for the world title in a few minutes!
Schenck: I know. This won’t take long, but I have some news and I want to share
it with all of you in person and at the same time.
Jaguar: And that would be?
Schenck: Look, I know you guys aren’t spring chickens. In fact, if you combine
your ages, you’d be 136!
Vulture: Thanks for doing that math.
Schenck: My point is that the three of you have been around a long, long time,
and you’re without question the three biggest names in the history of PWA. Now,
Everlasting Epic is almost definitely going to be the last time you’re all in
the same place at the same time as active competitors. And I’ve gone through
the record books, and I was shocked to see that we’ve never seen the three of
you duke it out in a match. So I wanted to tell you all, together and in
person, that the main event of next week’s series finale of PWA: The Rebirth is
going to be a triple threat match. Jaguar vs. Jason Calysto vs. Vulture.
None of the men respond immediately, but it is apparent from their facial
expressions that they are excited by the idea.
Schenck: Now, before you say anything,
let me just tell you that this is going to be a non-title match no matter what.
Even if Calysto wins the title, we can’t have Vulture winning it next week and
screwing up Everlasting Epic, can we? Think of this as a simple exhibition, but
with a bit more gusto than that, because this is a dream match, gentlemen. This
is something people have wanted to see for years, and we’re going to deliver it
to them next week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have another errand to run.
Jason, best of luck tonight in your championship match. I’ll see you guys
later.
Schenck then exits, leaving the three men alone in his office.
Calysto: Well, that was unexpected.
Jaguar: He’s right, though. We owe it to the fans to have this match.
Calysto: Well, it’s fine by me.
Jaguar: Ditto. You cool, V?
Vulture: Yeah, it’s fine. I just—
Jaguar: You haven’t been tested against this kind of competition since you came
back?
Vulture uncomfortably nods.
Jaguar: What do you call what you just
did?
Vulture: That was a six-man tag. I had partners.
Jaguar: Don’t go all lack of confidence on us now. The way I see it, you need a
world-class tune-up for Greg Tantalus and Hell in a Cell. And I think I can
speak for Jay when I say that I can use all the tune-ups I can get before Seven
Deadly Sins.
Vulture: You know what? You’re right. This will be fun.
Calysto: Agreed. But if you guys will excuse me, I have a world title to win.
Jaguar: Get it done, Iceman! And shine that belt up real nice for me! I don’t
want any smudges or scratches when I take it home in 18 nights!
Calysto: The only way you’re taking it home is if I rent it out to you. For a
fee, of course. Later, guys.
Vulture: Good luck tonight, Jay. And in Seven Deadly Sins. Both of you.
Calysto: Thanks. And V, we’re all pulling for you in the Cell.
Jaguar: Amen to that.
Vulture: Thanks. I appreciate that. And good luck to both of you in Seven
Deadly Sins. I’ll see you guys next week.
Vulture exits, with Calysto right behind him. However, The Iceman then
stops and turns back to Jaguar.
Calysto: By the way, Jag… you can take
that luck that Vulture offered for Seven Deadly Sins. You’ll need it more than
me.
He then smirks at Jaguar and walks off. Jaguar shouts after him as we head
to commercial.
Jaguar: Child please!
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from commercial, we head to ringside and our commentators, Victor Troy and
Randall Buckingham.
Troy: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back
to The Rebirth! We’re just about ready for our main event PWA Championship
match, but before we get to that, let’s take a look at what’s to come in just
18 nights, when the PWA invades Queens, New York’s Citi Field for Everlasting Epic VIII!
Florence
+ The Machine’s “Breath of Life” now hits the speakers, playing in the
background as our commentators speak.
Buckingham: It’ll be the final show in
PWA history, and it’s certainly shaping up to be a grand finale!
Troy: Indeed it is! Folks, in our main
event, the PWA World Heavyweight Championship will be defended one last time,
and it’ll be defended in the PWA’s signature match! Eight of the top stars in
PWA history will head to Citi Field on Saturday, October 20th in an attempt to
walk away the final PWA Champion in history! It’ll be the controversial new
champion Chase Stone and the former champ Evan Black, along with six PWA Hall
of Famers: Jason Calysto, Jaguar, Anthony Failla, Showtime Damon Savage, Romeo,
and Scythe, all competing for the ultimate honor!
Buckingham: And in an environment like Seven Deadly Sins, ANYTHING can happen!
You can go to PWATheRebirth.com for the complete rules, but in a nutshell, these eight men compete over
seven different falls, or the Seven Sins. In each Sin, one man is eliminated,
with the stipulations for elimination growing more and more dangerous as the
match progresses. It’s the ultimate test of resilience, stamina, courage, and
intestinal fortitude, and only one man can survive it!
Troy: Very true! But Randall, can Vulture survive Hell in a Cell against Greg
Tantalus?!
Buckingham: Troy, I have no idea, but if he doesn’t, the PWA’s parent company
will not be held accountable, because both men have signed hold-harmless
agreements!
Troy: Indeed they have! It’s the ultimate culmination to the long, ongoing war
between SIN and the group now calling itself The Absolved. But this certainly
won’t be the only collision between these two factions at EE8!
Buckingham: No, it won’t! The Absolved’s Morgan Day will go one-on-one with
SIN’s Lauren Tantalus in one of the biggest matches in the history of our
women’s division!
Troy: And SIN members Jackie Baccaro and James Biamonte join forces to take on
The Absolved’s John Wolfe and Chris Duval, with Dee Licious and Alexis Duval in
their respective corners!
Buckingham: But that’s only scratching the surface! In a match with no
count-outs and no disqualifications, The Soul Stealers – Bishop Cross and
Markus Krieg – put the PWA Tag Team Championship on the line against Dan
Crowley and Rich Revis, the former Lost Souls!
Troy: After weeks of hounding Justin Schenck to let him into the Seven Deadly
Sins match, Solomon is going to have his opportunity! If he can defeat two
mystery opponents and GI Jew in succession, he will be added to the Seven
Deadly Sins match as an unprecedented ninth entrant!
Buckingham: Plus, Zina goes one-on-one with Keiko Ishida! Will it be for the
PWA Women’s Championship? We’ll find out next Tuesday night on the series
finale of The Rebirth, when Zina puts the title on the line in a fatal fourway
against Keiko, Morgan Day, and Lauren Tantalus! We will definitely see Keiko
take on Zina at EE8, and we will definitely see Morgan vs. Lauren, but we have
no idea which match will have the Women’s title attached! Which one will it be?!
Troy: Time will tell, Randall! But folks, that’s not all, as three more matches
have been added to this absolutely huge card! And it starts with a pair of
six-man elimination championship matches!
Buckingham: Matthew Magellan puts the International title up for grabs against
Jon Dulberg, Michael Grieco, Maddox Tate, Pitbull, and the Hardcore Icon Kerry
Cox!
Troy: And Juan Pablo Alvarez defends the Progressive title against Saif al
Abbad, Fenix Clarke, Paul Epton, Dexter P. Wellington, and Asai Moon!
Buckingham: Plus, The Hollywood Miracle, with Don Cerrone in their corner, will
take on Paul Dawkins and Renegade, with Kemi Okoro in theirs!
Troy: Folks, we’re just 18 nights away from the PWA’s final hour, and it’s
shaping up to be perhaps the biggest night in this company’s history! Keep
checking the Everlasting
Epic mini-site for more updates,
and of course tune in each week, where we’ll keep you posted on all the
developments concerning EE8! It’s Everlasting Epic VIII, live from Citi Field
in Queens, New York, on Saturday, October 20th! Folks, our PWA title match
between Chase Stone and Jason Calysto is coming up in just a few moments, but
before we get to that, let’s take you to our next Seven Deadly Sins spotlight,
which was filmed right here in Brooklyn!
***
We
are now taken to a scenic park, with a graphic appearing on the screen reading
“earlier this week.” We then see Nick Cade in the foreground and a figure in
the background with people huddled around him.
Cade: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m Nick
Cade, and it’s time for another Seven Deadly Sins spotlight. Today, we’re here
in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, very close to the home of The Iceman Jason
Calysto. If you see behind me, you can see The Iceman signing autographs. Let’s
see if we can tear him away.
Cade approaches Calysto, who asks him to wait a minute. Calysto stands
there signing autographs for every single person present before turning his
attention to Cade.
Cade: How often does that happen?
Calysto: Oh that? You know, constantly. But it’s part of the job, right?
Passerby: (shouting) Iceman! Kick Chase’s ass on Tuesday!
Calysto: (shouting back) You got it!
Cade: Ok, well if we can get started, take me through a typical day in the life
of The Iceman.
Calysto: Well Nick—
Calysto is interrupted by a group of fans seeking autographs. He takes the
time to sign for them.
Calysto: This is pretty much the typical
day, Nick.
Cade: Does the constant attention ever get tiring?
Calysto: Oh sure, but this is my responsibility. I’m out there living my dream,
and everyone else is living vicariously through me, so it’s my job to give back
when I can.
Cade: It doesn’t sound like it’s when you can, but rather at all times.
Calysto: I really don’t mind, Nick. I have the greatest fans in the world. Any
time I get to spend with them is—
Again, Calysto’s train of thought is broken by fans, this group seeking a
photo. Calysto obliges.
Calysto: Sorry about that, Nick. Duty
calls.
Cade: I understand. But do you think we could—
Calysto: Go someplace where I won’t be stopped a thousand times? Sure.
Cade is relieved that Calysto knew exactly what he was going to ask. The
shot then fades to the exterior of a brownstone in nearby Carroll Gardens. We
then are taken inside the home of The Iceman. Calysto leads Cade down to the
basement, to his trophy room. The camera pans around the room, highlighting the
endless array of replica championship belts commemorating each of his title
reigns over the years. In immediate view are the five PWA World Heavyweight
Championship belts, and directly underneath them are two PWA Tag Team
Championship belts.
Cade: This is some collection you’ve got
here.
Calysto: Yeah, they started piling up after a while.
Two other belts catch Cade’s eye.
Cade: Are those the—
Calysto: The actual CAW and FSW heavyweight title belts, yep. When I beat Mike
Griffin back in ’02 to consolidate all the championships, I won these and hung
onto ‘em.
Cade: Wow. Ok well, let me snap out of this. Obviously, we can tell just from
being down here that you have accomplished just about everything there is to
accomplish in this business. And we can tell from walking around Prospect Park
that you are a living legend. So Jason, I have to ask the question: what is
left for you in wrestling? Why even subject yourself to Seven Deadly Sins?
Calysto: You’re right, Nick. I’ve done it all. And I won’t shy away from saying
this: the Seven Deadly Sins match at Everlasting Epic will be the final match
of my career. I was content to sit on the sidelines when The Rebirth started,
but obviously we know how that turned out. But when PWA ended the first time, I
was only 39. I still felt like I could perform at a really high level, a level
up to the standard I’d set for myself, but I didn’t want to start over in a new
company. When PWA came back, it was too tempting to not give it another go. And
I’ve had a hell of a run. Won another world title, main evented another
Everlasting Epic. Hell, two Everlasting Epics when this is over. But I’m 45
years old now. I can walk away with no regrets.
Cade: But again, if you could walk away with no regrets, why subject yourself
to the most physically demanding match in PWA history?
Calysto: Because I believe in going out in a blaze of glory, Nick. I had the
great fortune of ending my career the first time with a match with Jaguar that
people still talk about to this day. It’s considered one of the greatest
matches in PWA history, and it was a match I was insanely proud to be a part
of. But I lost. I was the first man to ever wear the PWA Championship and I had
a chance to be the last, to bring things full circle, and I couldn’t get the
job done. That loss is one of the main reasons I DID come back. Had I written
that final chapter with a victory, maybe I don’t. But Seven Deadly Sins
represents one last chance to have that ending. It’s a tremendous challenge at
a point in my career where I’m not challenged all that often. Not like this.
Add onto that the fact that I’ve never won a Seven Deadly Sins match and this
is an opportunity that was just too good for me to pass up.
Cade: So why are you going to win the championship in the Seven Deadly Sins
match?
Calysto: I’m not.
Cade: You’re not?
Calysto: No. I’m going to successfully defend the PWA Championship at
Everlasting Epic VIII in the Seven Deadly Sins match. I’m going to WIN the
title this Tuesday night, right here in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.
Cade: I wouldn’t bet against you.
Calysto: And you shouldn’t. Chase Stone is a great athlete, and he’s perhaps
more technically sound than even I was at that age. He’s going to be a great
champion someday. But today is not that day. He is not prepared to face The
Iceman, and he’s certainly not prepared to face me in my backyard. I’m taking
the title from him on Tuesday night, and then we’ll see how he recovers in Seven
Deadly Sins. My guess is not well.
Cade: Last week, we saw some interesting interaction between you and two men:
Jaguar and Evan Black. Give me your thoughts on those two.
Calysto: Great, great competitors. I respect them both, but in different ways. Evan
Black is a promising young kid who I like a lot. As he mentioned in his
spotlight, he approached me years ago at a gym up in Scarsdale when I was in
town, and I pointed him in the right direction. He’s one of those rare people
who just is so determined and so driven to succeed that, when he says
something, you’re better off believing him, because odds are he’s gonna make it
happen. He’s got a bright, bright future in this business, wherever he winds
up. Now Jaguar, that’s a whole different level of respect. We met in the mid
‘90s working the indies on Long Island, and we’ve been crossing paths ever
since. He was a bit of a late bloomer, whereas I hit the ground running, but by
the time he caught up to me, I knew that every single time we stepped into the ring
together, I was gonna have to be on my A-game. And unlike EB, Jag can empathize
with the aches and pains I wake up with every morning, I’m sure.
Cade: Now, given all that, why are you going to win Seven Deadly Sins and not
them?
Calysto: Well, let me stop you right there. There are five other great
competitors in this match besides the three of us. I’ve had wars with Romeo and
Scythe, and I can tell you firsthand they are no pushovers. They’re Hall of
Famers for a reason, just like Anthony Failla, who I haven’t mixed it up with
much since our CAW days, but I have great respect for everything he’s
accomplished. We’ve already discussed Chase Stone, but make no mistake about
it, the kid has a world of talent. And of course, there’s my good buddy Showtime.
Of all the people in the match, I can promise you that he won’t be the one to
win, because I’ll be personally eliminating him no matter what.
But why I am I going to win and no one else will? Look around you, Nick. I
didn’t get all this by accident. I’m not approached on the street constantly
for nothing. I worked my ass off and earned every single bit of it. And when I
want something, I go out and I take it. And you know what? I want this Seven
Deadly Sins win, and I want it bad. You would think there’s nothing left for
me, but I’m gonna give every ounce of myself at Citi Field trying to win back
the PWA Championship and bring this thing full circle. And if any of these guys
want to win this thing, they’re gonna have to damn near kill me to get it done.
Cade: And there you have it. A more intense Iceman than usual, but that’s
understandable given the stakes in this Seven Deadly Sins match. Jason, thank
you for the time.
Calysto: You’re welcome. Is it time for the obligatory training montage now?
Cade: Yes.
Calysto: Great, I’ve been waiting for that.
Calysto gets up and walks to his stereo.
Calysto: Here, I’ve got a good one for
ya, a classic.
Calysto then presses play, queuing up the Smashing Pumpkins’ “The End is
the Beginning is the End,” starting the montage, which takes us through
Calysto’s cardio-filled training routine. We see him riding a bicycle, doing
push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and running through Prospect Park. From there, we
see Calysto run all through Brooklyn before finally arriving in Coney Island,
leaving no doubt about his physical fitness as the video fades and we head to
break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Watch
the video below for
MATCH #7 – PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
CHASE STONE (champion) VS. THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO (challenger)
Referee: Tom Stevens
With the Brooklyn crowd still sitting in stunned silence, Chase Stone steps
outside the ring and yanks a microphone away from ring announcer Lee Palmer. He
then begins speaking on the arena floor.
Stone: Sorry to disappoint all of you,
but your precious Iceman has been melted! You all underestimated me, and I
proved each and every one of you wrong!
Stone walks around the ringside area, singling out individual fans.
Stone: I proved YOU wrong! I proved YOU
wrong! I proved YOU wrong!
The fans shower Stone with boos as he makes his exit, Kanye West’s
“Amazing” ultimately replaying to drown out his taunting of the Brooklyn fans.
By the time Stone has exited, Jason Calysto is back on his feet in the ring, prompting
the Barclays Center to give him a raucous ovation. However, Calysto is in no
mood to receive the ovation, and instead asks for and receives a microphone.
Calysto: Guys, I appreciate the love, but
I did NOT come here tonight to lose! Now, I’ll give the devil his due and tip
my hat to Chase Stone. That was one hell of an effort, and he earned every bit
of that victory. Maybe I made the mistake of taking him a bit too lightly. But
Brooklyn, I promise you this: at Everlasting Epic, I take nothing and no one
lightly! On October 20th, I’m walking into Citi Field, into the Seven Deadly
Sins match, and I’m walking out of it the final PWA World Heavyweight Champion!
Because when it’s time to shut up and wrestle, there’s nobody quite like The
Iceman!
He then holds the microphone to the crowd.
Crowd: NOBODY!
With that, Oasis’ “F*ckin’ in the Bushes” replays and Calysto makes his
exit to a booming ovation. The Iceman walks to the outside, where he begins
shaking hands with ringside fans and signing autographs, delighting the
Brooklyn crowd as he does his best to hide his disappointment.
Troy: Alright ladies and gentlemen,
that’s gonna do it for us this week! Join us next Tuesday night for the series
finale of PWA: The Rebirth! We’re gonna have Jason Calysto, Jaguar, and Vulture
competing in a historic triple threat match!
Zina defending the PWA Women’s Championship in a fatal fourway match
against Keiko Ishida, Morgan Day, and Lauren Tantalus! Plus Bishop Cross vs.
Dan Crowley, and so much more! We’ll be back where it all started, Madison
Square Garden, and starting this Friday, you can catch us all over New York
City every day until Everlasting Epic VIII, which is just 18 nights away!
Folks, for Randall Buckingham, this is Victor Troy saying we’ll see you next
week from the World’s Most Famous Arena! Goodnight, everybody!
