July 1st, 2006

Live from the MCI Center in Washington, DC

 

 

The show opens with pyros exploding all over the arena and the white hot crowd on their feet, screaming and cheering!  The cameras pan around, catching signs like “Rest in Hell, Draven!”, “The Man is back!”, “’Al’ vs. ‘Littlebear!” and many more.  Moving down, the camera takes focus on our commentators at ringside!

 

Jon McDaniel: Welcome everyone to Rampage!

 

Brian Rentfro: We did it man! Genesis was a rocking success!  With this kind of momentum, we’re sure to be around for a long time!

 

Jon McDaniel: I agree! Genesis had many surprises!  Raizzor’s return and his victory over Draven was nothing short of a horror movie!

 

Brian Rentfro: We saw new… well, to the PWA, not so new Tag-Team Champions in the Brothers Grimm!

 

Jon McDaniel: Along with Sandra retaining the Grizzly Beer title in one of the most surprising matches of the evening!

 

Brian Rentfro: And the Choose Your Destiny match, what may be a first in wrestling all together, with Johnny Phoenix scoring a huge win in his debut!

 

Jon McDaniel: He’s in the Who’s The Man? Tournament and could carry that streak right into being our new World Champion!

 

Brian Rentfro: Of course, Brymstone dealt a crushing blow to Alex Wilkie’s winning ways, as he sent the poor guy to the hospital in the back of an ambulance!

 

Jon McDaniel: Speaking of, that match may not have happened!  Cause later in the night we lost XTC and The Notch due to the interference? Perhaps anyway, of the man who is making his return to the PWA here tonight!

 

Brian Rentfro: A Man who got his start in the W4F, another Chamelion property, he’s already caused some major havoc, and I can’t wait to see what he does next!

 

Jon McDaniel: You won’t have to wait long, let’s go to the ring!

 

The Man vs. Scotty Snow

 

Jack Mulligan: Ladies and Gentlemen, our first match for tonight is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, Scotty Snow!

 

Snow tumbles down to the ring, ready to fight.

 

Jack Mulligan: And his opponent, weighing in at 250lbs, From Beverly Hills, California, The Man!

 

The beats to Gnarls Barkley's song "Crazy" comes over the loudspeaker as a green spotlight pulses into the crowd along with the beats. The Man walks out casually to the mellow song as the PWA-tron flashes clips of his greatness.

 

Brian Rentfro: I can’t believe The Man is back!

 

Jon McDaniel: The PWA keeps pulling surprises out of it’s hat!

 

Brian Rentfro: In some cases, out of it’s ass!

 

The match opens with the grapple. The Man gets a hammerlock, which Scotty Snow counters, and The Man re-counters, and Scotty Snow re-counters, and kicks him in the stomach, then in the face when he buckles over. Scotty Snow whips him into the ropes, and follows him. The Man jumps over Scotty Snow and he continues running. On the way back, with his back still to Scotty Snow, The Man tries to jump over him again, but Scotty Snow comes up underneath him, landing The Man on his shoulders.

 

Jon McDaniel: Not a good place to be!

 

Brian Rentfro: Depends on your orientation!

 

Jon McDaniel: ….

 

Scotty Snow stands and quickly tilts back, executing a solid back drop. Scotty Snow climbs up top and goes for an elbow drop. The Man rolls and Scotty Snow lands hard. The Man picks him up and whips him into the ropes. Scotty Snow holds the ropes and stops and The Man misses an Yakuza kick he was going for. Scotty Snow, with The Man spun by the kick and his back facing Scotty Snow, grabs him and goes another backdrop type move.

 

Jon McDaniel: Scotty’s keeping with some classic tactics!

 

Brian Rentfro: It worked once!

 

The Man flips back off his shoulder, grabs the ropes and lands on the apron. Scotty Snow isn't sure what happened and looks around, confused, but with his back toward The Man on the apron. The Man springs off the top rope just as Scotty Snow turns and catches him a massive flipping neck breaker. He makes the cover...

 

1...

 

2...

 

Shoulder up!

 

Jon McDaniel: Damn that was close!

 

Brian Rentfro: The Man should have had this one done with already!  The ring rust is certainly apparent!

 

With Scotty Snow still down and still holding his neck, The Man smiles and cracks his knuckles. Grabbing Scotty Snow’s legs, he deftly applies his unique version of the sharpshooter!

 

Brian Rentfro: Oh my… You know what this is…

 

Jon McDaniel: Who’s the man?

 

The Man: Say it! Say I’m The Man….

 

Scotty Struggles, but in the end all he can do is tap out!  The referee calls for the bell. The Man jumps up, throwing his arms into the air, a win for the record books on his page.

 

Jack Mulligan: Here is your winner, by submission… The Man!

 

Jon McDaniel: Well, so much for ring rust!

 

Brian Rentfro: Meh, he must have been toying with Scotty!

 

Jon McDaniel: Perhaps!  Hey, look, something’s going on in the back!

 

Backstage, we see the lumbering form of Brymstone stalking through the corridors.  There seems to be an aura of cold malice about him, but his face is set in a void like mask of neutrality.  Only his eyes give any hint to the rage broiling inside of him at his moment.  While traveling down the corridor, he stops, and grabs one of the tech guys working and pushes him against a nearby wall.  He then grabs the smaller man by the shirt collar one handed and lifts him up off the ground, bringing him to eye level before speaking.

 

Brymstone: Where is he?

 

The tech looks noticeably shaken.  After all, there is a rather large man holding him aloft like a child does a toy.

 

Tech: Wh..who?

 

Brymstone: Mark Sommers.  Where is he?!

 

The tech doesn't try to speak this time, he only points down the corridor where supposedly Chamelion's office is.  Brymstone drops the man like a sack of week old potatoes and  stalks off for the office.  Once there he unceremoniously boots the door open, only to find a receptionist, who looks rather startled at the sudden entrance.

 

Receptionist: Can I help you?

 

Brymstone: Where is Mark Sommers?!

 

The receptionist swallows thickly and stammers over the beginning to what must be the obvious answer of he wasn't in the office.  Sensing this, Brymstone steps closer towards the woman, and overturns her desk, causing her to shriek in fear.

 

Brymstone: When he comes back, inform him that I am looking for him.  He interfered in the wrong match.

 

The woman nods out of fear and shrinks back into a corner while Brymstone turns around and leaves the office.

 

Jon McDaniel:  Brymstone definitely looks pissed!

 

Brian Rentfro: What do you expect?  Chamelion stuck his nose where it doesn’t belong, AGAIN!

 

Jon McDaniel: Chamelion is very passionate about family!  It’s a good trait!

 

Brian Rentfro: Bah!  Speaking of family, the next match is one I’ve been waiting for!  Let’s see what Draven looks like after his encounter with the Seven Gates of Hell at Genesis!

 

Randal Moran vs. Erik Draven

 

Jack Mulligan: Ladies and Gentlemen this match is scheduled for one fall!… Introducing first, weighing in at 235lbs and hailing from Minnedosa, Manitoba, Canada; Randall Moran!

 

Pussy Liquor by White Zombie hits the PWATron and. Randall Moran steps through the entrance and makes his way to the ring. Randall heads up the steel steps and heads through the middle ropes into the ring as the music fades.

 

Brian Rentfro: Looks like Randall is finally gonna get his chance to shine here tonight.

 

Jon McDaniel:  And with Draven coming out of that vicious Seven Gates of Hell match-up at Genesis not even a full week ago…

 

Brian Rentfro: The odds are definitely in the Moran’s corner …er, no pun intended there…

 

Jack Mulligan:  And his opponent, weighing in at 302lbs, and hailing from Parts Unknown, Erik Draven!

 

The lights flicker and fade to a low eminence. “Rip Out The Wings of a Butterfly” by Him kicks up on the PA. The gorgeous Synthasia steps from the back, microphone in hand.

 

Brian Rentfro: What the?!

 

Synthasia:  Um, sorry Randall, but incase you haven’t noticed, Draven is kind of indisposed of at the moment.

 

Jon McDaniel: We don’t get Draven…it appears that he’s still locked away in the tomb!

 

The crowd boos.

 

Brian Rentfro: Man! This sucks! This was one of the bouts I was looking forward to here tonight!

 

Jon McDaniel: Something told me this would happen…I don’t even know why Draven was booked so soon after Genesis…there’s no way he’s at 100 percent.

 

Brian Rentfro: Yeah…but you forgot who the boss is…

 

Synthasia:  So there’s not going to be any sort of match here tonight involving him. But, not to worry…I can tell you can here to compete, so I have taken it upon myself to find you a suitable replacement…He’s not Draven, but he’s going to have to do for now…Have Fun!”

 

She tosses the mic and steps to the back.

 

Jon McDaniel:  Looks like Randall gets his match anyway, though not against who he came here to fight!

 

Brian Rentfro:  I hope it’s The Man!

 

A slight anticipation builds as we await the arrival of Moran’s opponent. Suddenly, “St. Anger” by Metallica begins to play over the PA as a short, stubby balding man, probably middle aged, steps out to a silent reaction from the crowd. Pumped up, he rushes down to the ring, attempting to slap some of the fan’s hands on his way down, but no one obliges.

 

Jon McDaniel: …and receives no fan fare this evening.

 

Brian Rentfro: Ya know, I’m not even gonna comment on this… This is ridiculous…I came here, as well as everyone else, to see Draven verse Randall…not Randall verses Old Man River

 

Jon McDaniel: Never know, he might surprise us!

 

Brian Rentfro:  I’ll be surprised if the guy makes it to the ring without having a heart attack!

 

He rushes down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Climbing to his feet (it takes him quite awhile to do so, having to crawl back towards the ropes to use them for support). He stands and charges at Randall, who remains rock solid. The bald man bounces off, stumbling and tripping over his own feet as he falls to the mat.

 

Jon McDaniel: Good lord. (Laughs)

 

He rolls to a corner and pulls himself up. Again he charges, but this time, Randall catches him with a super kick to the side of the face. The man collapses, knocked out cold.

 

Brain Rentfro: I’mma call this one now…he’s out COLD!

 

Randall waits a short while, expecting the man to get to his feet. He doesn’t and Randall just shrugs and goes for the pin, shaking his head in disappointment.

 

Jon McDaniel: Moran doesn’t look too happy about the sudden change in plans.

 

1…

 

Brian Rentfro: Of course he’s not happy! The man came here to Fight!!

2…

 

Jon McDaniel:  He’s got his opponent…

 

3…

 

Brian Rentfro: You call THAT an opponent?!

 

DING! DING!

 

Jack Mulligan: Announcing the winner of this match! Randall Moran!!!

 

Jon McDaniel: I don’t know who this Synthasia chick is, but she apparently holds some major power over Draven.

 

Brian Rentfro: I think right now a mouse could hold power over Draven, if he’s still in that damned tomb! 

 

Randall exits the ring, making his way to the back, still shaking his head and mumbling to himself as PWA trainers rush down and pull the still knocked out bald man from the ring.

 

Jon McDaniel: While they help that poor man from the ring, let’s take a look at one of our newest PWA superstars!

 

The PWAtron shows a dark scene. The entire arena goes dark and silent.

White letters appear on the screen.

HONOR

The fade out and we see a figure fly through the air with a kick, in black and white. He lands in a ring, on his knees.

RESPECT

We see him punching and kicking a punching back, with a hood over his face.

DEDICATION

He is kneeling in the ring, he peels back his hood to reveal his face.

MATT ROLLINS

HAS COME TO PWA

The screen fades to black and the lights come back on.

 

Brian Rentfro: Heh, everyone that comes here likes to show off!

 

Jon McDaniel: It can be a long road to the top here in the PWA, or, in some cases, you can be as lucky as Johnny Phoenix!

 

Brian Rentfro: Let’s see how lucky he is, as he takes on our PWA Grizzly Beer Champion next!

 

Johnny Phoenix vs. Psycho Sandra

 

Jack Mulligan: Ladies and Gentlemen this match is a non-title bout scheduled for one fall!… Introducing first, weighing in at 245lbs and hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada; Johnny Phoenix!

 

 

As Bodies rings through the loudspeakers, the arena goes dark. Smoke begins to come up through the ramp. Suddenly a light from behind the stage comes on and we see a dark silhouette standing there. As the music hits, fireworks go off from either side of the stage to create an X, and Johnny Walks through the smoke.

 

 Jack Mulligan: And His Opponent! …weighing in at 180lbs and hailing from Washington, DC, she is the PWA Grizzly Beer Champion; Psycho Sandra!

 

Sandra walks out to the song "Sikamikaniko" by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The clips that play show her wrestling men, riding her motorcycle, and eating chilli peppers.

 

Both wrestlers circle around the ring, sizing the other up, before finally locking up. Both struggle to gain the upper hand in the lock up, with neither wanting to give the other any leverage. Phoenix starts to take the advantage, and backs Sandra into the corner. The referee asks for a clean break, but neither lets go. The ref begins to count, and finally Phoenix lets go once the ref gets to a four count. Johnny flashes Sandra a quick smile, as if telling Sandra that he owned her, and slowly backs up to the center of the ring. Sandra walks out of the corner, while never taking her eyes off of Phoenix.

 

Jon McDaniel: Johnny seems a little cocky coming into this match up tonight.

 

Brian Rentfro:  Lets see how longs he stays that way.

 

Both combatants lock up again, and again Phoenix starts to take control. He slowly backs Sandra towards the corner, but, before he reaches the turnbuckle, Sandra reverses positions and pushes Johnny to the corner, instead. Again, the ref makes the count, and Sandra breaks the hold on four. But, before she backs off, she slaps Phoenix hard in the face, as the crowd makes an ‘oooooooooooh’ sound. This time Sandra is the one with a brazen smile, as she backs up.

 

Jon McDaniel: This time it’s Sandra who does the smiling.

 

Brian Rentfro: Christ man! Did we come here to watch a wrestling match or a cat fight?

 

Johnny rubs his cheek, as he stares at Sandra, with disgust and anger in his eyes. He meets Sandra back in the center of the ring, and the two lock up for a third time. This time, Phoenix moves behind Sandra and has her in a waist lock. Sandra tries to separate Johnny’s hands, but he has the hands locked tight. Sandra goes to elbow him, but Phoenix moves his head out of range. Sandra tries to separate the hands again, but it’s no use.

 

Brian Rentfro: Looks like Psycho Sandra is going for a ride…

 

Jon McDaniel:  Phoenix looks to be going for a German Suplex here…wait, no! Sandra counters…

 

Finally, Psycho Sandra drops down and Phoenix falls over via a drop toe hold. Sandra quickly takes advantage by hopping over Phoenix’s fallen body and applying a headlock. Phoenix and Sandra both make it to their feet. Phoenix leads Sandra towards the ropes and pushes Sandra off of the ropes, causing her to release the hold. As Sandra bounces off the opposite ropes, Phoenix runs right at her. Sandra attempts a clothesline, but Phoenix ducks and stops right behind Sandra. Sandra turns around and is met with slap from Phoenix. Another ‘ooooooooooooh’ comes from the fans, as this slap was much louder than the first. The force of the slap turned Sandra around. She rubs her face to get feeling back and turns around to see Phoenix smiling again. Sandra rushes at Phoenix and both combatants start to trade punches.

 

Brian Rentfro: Alright! This is what I’m talking about…to hell with the slap fight!

 

Phoenix swings a right hand but Sandra ducks under and comes back with a clothesline. Sandra lifts him to his feet and prepares to launch a vertical suplex, However, Phoenix manages to twist his way out of the move in mid air. He lands and quickly grips his arms around Sandra’s waist, lifting her up and nailing a belly to back suplex. Phoenix quickly climbs to his feet pulls Sandra up and lands a quick neck breaker, sending Psycho Sandra to the ground. Johnny attempts to apply an ankle lock, but Sandra kicks him backward into the turnbuckle.

 

Jon McDaniel: If Phoenix had’ve locked that ankle lock in, we could have saw then end of this right here, folks!

 

Brian Rentfro: …Nah.

 

Sandra lifts Johnny up, delivering a DDT to her opponent. He crumples up on the mat as Sandra begins delivering an entourage of  kicks  to the side. She then lifts Phoenix to his feet and whips him into the ropes. He rebounds and is caught with a knee to his stomach. He kneels over while Sandra moves behind him and rolls him up in a school boy. The referee counts.

 

Brian Rentfro: Here we go!

 

1…

2…

 

Jon McDaniel: Yes!

 

Kickout!

 

Jon McDaniel: ..er…NO! Phoenix kicks out in the nick of time.

 

Brian Rentfro: He’s gotta watch Sandra…she’s got a million tricks up her sleeve!

 

Both hop to their feet and Sandra charges towards Phoenix and throws herself on top of him, delivering punch after punch as the referee begins to count. Sandra  is already off of him by the count of two. Both move to their feet via the separation of the referee, and a fresh start takes place in this contest. The two lock up in the center of the ring. Phoenix manages a side headlock into a takedown. He keeps the headlock on for a short while before rising to his feet and falling again to deliver a sharp elbow drop to the back of neck.

 

Brian Rentfro: You know, they say this guy will snap at the drop of a dime…THAT’S what I wanna see!

 

Jon McDaniel:  Well, so far the match has been pretty evenly fought…

 

Phoenix pulls Sandra back to her feet, and delivers a knee right to Sandra's midsection doubling her over, Phoenix pulls her up into power bomb position, and backs into the corner. As soon as they get into the corner Sandra begins to barrage Phoenix with an onslaught of punches, Johnny’s legs go out from under him, dumping him to the mat in front of the turnbuckles. Sandra manages to grab the top rope before Phoenix falls and delivers a modified Vader Bomb on the fallen Phoenix. Sandra leaps to her feet and begins to immediately lay the boots into the downed Phoenix. She then climbs to the second rope and attempts a leg drop but Phoenix rolls out of the way in the nick of time. Phoenix is instantly to his feet and lays a roundhouse kick right into the side of Sandra’s head. He lifts her up onto his shoulders into the power bomb position, backs out to the middle of the ring and delivers a huge running power bomb. Sandra hits with a thud Phoenix rolls her over and stepping over her back, applies a picture perfect Camel Clutch.

 

Brian Rentfro: Come on man! Snap on her!!

 

Jon McDaniel: You are one twisted individual…you do know that right?

 

Brian Rentfro: …But of course…they pay me for it.

 

The ref drops to one knee to check the hold, Sandra repeatedly declining to submit, she manages after several moments to crawl over and get her arm over the bottom rope. The ref starts the count and Phoenix breaks at 4. Phoenix stands up waiting for Sandra to get back to her feet, pacing back and forth with something clearly in mind. Sandra climbs her feet, and Phoenix lunges at Sandra, looking for a Reverse Russian leg sweep.

 

Jon McDaniel: Russian Leg---no!

 

Sandra reverses the move, driving Phoenix throat first into the second rope. Phoenix rolls over clutching his throat and gasping for air. Sandra seizes the opportunity and drags Phoenix to the center of the ring and quickly locks in a Half crab. The ref sliding to the check the hold, but Phoenix doesn’t quit. Sandra releases the hold bounces off the far ropes and leaps up, driving an elbow into the small of his back.

 

Jon McDaniel:  Sandra now gaining momentum!

 

Brian Rentfro: Johnny needs to pull it together, or this one is over!

 

Sandra pulls Phoenix up by the hair and drives him down across her knee with a thunderous backbreaker, she doesn't let him fall however, but instead holds him over her knee wrenching his back. Phoenix bellows in pain but refuses to submit after several moments Sandra releases and Phoenix falls to the mat spent. Sandra paces around the ring as Phoenix catches his breath, Phoenix gets to his feet and both move in for the attack. Sandra ducks a HUGE right hand from Phoenix and drives a boot into his midsection, kisses him on the forehead in a sympathetic fashion. She sets him in position for the Kiss of Death, but he counters it into a back body drop, sitting as he does and holding onto her legs to modify the move into a pinfall. The ref counts…

 

1…

 

2…

 

3…!

 

Jon McDaniel: Whoah! Where did that come from???

 

Brian Rentfro: What a move by Phoenix, he reversed Sandra’s attempt to finish the match and surprised her with an out of no where pin combination!

 

Jack Mulligan: The winner of the match, Johnny Phoenix!

 

Jon McDaniel: Phoenix just pinned our Grizzly Beer Champion!

 

Brian Rentfro: Imagine had he taken the GB match at Who’s The Man?  He may have been champion!

 

Jon McDaniel: He still could be, with the moves he’s shown today, he may just go all the way!

 

In the ring, Johnny offers his hand to Sandra and she grudgingly accepts.  They shake hands in the middle of the ring to the delight of the crowd before Sandra slips out of the ring, grabs her GB belt and holds it high!  In the ring, Phoenix celebrates for a few before exiting the ring, and making his way back up the ramp.

 

Matt Rollins vs. Skorch

 

Brian Rentfro: Our next match debuts our newest addition to the PWA!

 

Jon McDaniel: Matt Rollins!  He should be quite interesting to watch!

 

Jack Mulligan: The following match is scheduled for one fall… Introducing first, weighing in at 170lbs, Matt Rollins!

 

Static is heard, followed by the tapping of Morse code on a telegraph. Suddenly the chords of "Image of Invisible" by Thrice hits. Matt Rollins appears on the stage and then walks down to the ring followed by a chorus of cheers from the crowd! He walks up the steps and parts the ropes before stepping into the ring. He looks into the crowd and then awaits the start of the match, he is completely focused.

 

Jack Mulligan: And his opponent, Skorch!

 

Skorch comes stomping to the ring, ready to hand the brand spanking new superstar the beating of his life. The bell rings, the referee signaling for the start of the match.

 

Jon McDaniel: Bell rings, signaling the beginning of the fight. Skorch heads in, and smacks Rollins across the chin with a thundering uppercut!

 

Brian Rentfro: Damn! What a blow!

 

Rollins shakes himself and grins at Skorch, appreciating the large man’s forward attack!  They meet in the middle of the ring and lock up. Rollins starts it off with a side hammerlock. He turns it into a regular hammerlock then into a headlock. He holds the headlock for a few seconds before Skorch backs him into the ropes and sends him across the ring. Rollins comes back and tries to slide between Skorch's legs, but Skorch drops to his knees above Rollins's chest and starts hammering his face.

 

Jon McDaniel: Skorch isn’t going to let this hotshot come in so easily!

 

Brian Rentfro: Rollins isn’t in the small leagues here! Even competitors like Skorch can be a challenge!

 

The ref warns him and when he looks Rollins kicks him in the back and he falls off. Rollins picks him up, whips him into ropes. Rollins bends over and hits a back body drop. Rollins turns around and tries for a quick leg drop, but Skorch rolls and he lands hard. Skorch runs into the ropes, comes back and sit-out dropkicks Rollins in the face and he falls back. Skorch hooks the leg.

 

1..

 

2..

 

Kickout. 

 

Jon McDaniel: As bad the luck Skorch has been having, he’s really showing something here!

 

Brian Rentfro: If Rollins has any chance, he’s got to stop toying around!

 

While he's still down Skorch runs into the and climbs up to the second rope. He sets up for a back elbow drop but Rollins jumps up and charges Skorch. He hits him in the back and Skorch falls on the ropes. Rollins gets Skorch up on his shoulders and falls back for a belly-to-back type suplex. Rollins goes for a pin.

 

1...

 

Shoulder-up.

 

Jon McDaniel: That’s been a popular move tonight!

 

Brian Rentfro: And very effective… for the most part!

 

Rollins picks him up and sets him up for a power bomb. He tries for the power bomb but only gets him half way up. Skorch kicks and comes back down, the back-body drops Rollins who, in turn, holds on and goes for a sunset flip. Skorch counters by dropping to his knees again for an axe-handle to Rollins's face but Rollins hits him in the groin as he drops. Skorch's knees buckle and Rollins pulls him into the sunset flip anyway.

 

1...

 

2...

 

Shoulder up!

 

Jon McDaniel: CLOSE!

 

Brian Rentfro: Rollins has to be getting frustrated here!

 

Rollins stands and lifts Skorch up and whips him into the ropes. Rollins bends over for the back-body drop but the Skorch comes back and kicks him in the face. Skorch whips him into the ropes. As Rollins comes back Skorch tries to gorilla press him but Rollins kicks and comes down behind him but before his feet hit the mat Skorch grabs his head and brings him down in a front neck breaker. He tries for the pin.

 

1...

 

2...

 

thr-KICK! Rollins barely gets the kick.

 

Jon McDaniel: That was almost it!

 

Brian Rentfro: Gotta give it to Rollins!  No matter what Skorch does, that man will not stay down!

 

Rollins starts to get up but Skorch pulls him up and DDTs him. Skorch goes out onto the apron. He springs off the second, over the top, and leg drops Rollins. He picks Rollins up and whips him but Rollins reverses it. Skorch comes back and Rollins tries to press him up. Skorch kicks, comes down behind him and kicks him in the groin from behind. Rollins bends over and Skorch grabs him and hits a Russian Leg sweep. Skorch makes the cover.

 

1...

 

2..

 

Kickout!

 

Jon McDaniel: A lot of low blows here! We should really get eye care for our referees!

 

Brian Rentfro: And some common sense too!

 

Skorch pulls Rollins up, but Rollins breaks free of Skorch’s grasp and sends him reeling with a solid punch!  Skorch retaliates and both men begin trading blows.  Matt Rollins stumbles, struggling to keep on his heels. He gains his balance, and kicks Skorch in the knee, sending him down. He hops to the top rope, and soars yards across the ring, smashing into his opponent with a crushing elbow drop.

 

Jon McDaniel: Impressive move by Rollins!!

 

Brian Rentfro: I’ll say!

 

He backs up, stalking his prey. Skorch slowly comes to his feet, when Rollins heads to the rope, top speed, and connects with his finisher.

 

Jon McDaniel: That’s it… The rendering! An unorthodox enziguri! He goes for the cover…

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Brian Rentfro: That’s it, lights out.

 

Jon McDaniel: Rollins comes away with the victory, but in a much harder match then I bet he anticipated!!

 

Rollins pulls himself to his feet to celebrate his win. He throws his hands in the air and exits the ringside area.

 

Jon McDaniel: Matt Rollins is going to have a very short time to celebrate!

 

Brian Rentfro: Yeah, cause next week he goes from the bottom feeder Skorch to one of the top dogs in the company, Randal Moran!  For a shot at Who’s The Man!?  He’d better be ready!

 

Jon McDaniel: I’m sure he will be!  Next up, a match to determine who will go on to the next PPV to challenge Psycho Sandra for her Grizzly Beer Championship!

Cody Galle vs. Gregory Littlebear

He jumps up onto the apron and climbs into the ring through the ropes. He pulls out two cards from the back of his tights, an ace and a king of spades. He then pulls out a lighter from a pocket in his tights. He lights the cards on fire and then drops them, gazing up at the ceiling as the lights come back on and the music fades.

DING! DING! DING!

Cody and Gregory circle each other in the ring, finally they lock up in the middle of the ring, Gregory goes for a quick hammer lock, Cody reverses it into a hammer lock of his own, and then a quick arm drag.

Brian Rentfro: Here we go, starting of match and already some quick moves.

Cody bounces off the ropes and goes for a drop kick to the back of Littlebear, but manages to roll out of the way, which makes Cody land on his bottom. Littlebear then hits a nice standing dropkick of his own to the face of Cody Galle, forcing him to roll out of the ring to catch his breath.

Jon McDaniel: Get back in the ring Cody! Your not gonna let him beat you are you?!

Brian Rentfro: Quit playing favorites!

Cody slides under the bottom rope and then moves quick, throwing a couple quick jabs towards Littlebear and then moves behind him, he locks in a hard headlock, kicking Littlebear’s knees out from under him, which brings him down to the mat.

Brian Rentfro: Brutal but quick moves from Cody.

Jon McDaniel: Yeah that’s it!

Gregory manages to crawl over to the ropes and grab the rope. Cody continues to apply pressure as the ref gets to the three count, Cody lets go and backs off for a few seconds and then dashes in, he applies a hard ankle lock, but Gregory flips around onto his back and donkeys kicks him off.

Brian Rentfro: Nice Reversal from Littlebear.

Littlebear then hits a hard clothesline on Cody, who gets up as quickly as he went down, but Littlebear knocks him down with a quick shoulder block, and then another clothesline.

Brian Rentfro: Littlebear is getting his leverage back in this match-up

Jon McDaniel: No! Come on Cody get up!

Cody throws a punch to the gut of Gregory, Gregory keels over and holds his gut, his eyes clenched tight shut, Cody rolls out of the ring again and the camera zooms in on his hand, which was holding a pair of brass knuckles!

Jon McDaniel: WHAT! HAHA! Nice! The Ref didn’t even see!

Brain Rentfro: What a poor sport! He’s cheating to win!

Cody throws the brass knucks under the ring and then rolls under the bottom rope. And goes to pin Littlebear.

1!

2!

Kick out!

Cody pulls his hair back and looks frustrated.

Brian Rentfro: See, if you cheat, you never win!

Cody picks Littlebear up, who was still holding his gut, Cody then put Littlebear in a suplex ready hold, he looks out into the crowd, but as he was about to apply his Three of a kind. Littlebear pushed Cody away and then hit his Orange Crush!

Brian Rentfro: He just reversed Cody’s Signature move and did one of his own!

Jon McDaniel: No! Cody can take it!

Littlebear then quickly climbs up the nearest turnbuckle. And jumps high in the air, he tries to hit his finisher The Peace Pipe.

Jon McDaniel: Oh no!

Cody quickly rolls out of the way, which makes Littlebear land on his stomach hard. Cody sees the opportunity to pin Littlebear. He quickly dashes to the ground and goes for the pin. He hooks the leg, his back to Littlebear. But just as the ref goes down to count the pin, Littlebear rolls over and pins Cody’s shoulders!

1!

2!

Cody kicks out and Littlebear jumps to his feet!  Littlebear waits as Cody stumbles up and he catches Cody from the back and lifts him up in a Belly to Back suplex!  He lands Cody on his back, while maintaining the hold, driving Cody’s shoulders down to the canvas!

 

1!

 

Brian Rentfro: Littlebear has Cody pinned like that!

 

2!

 

Jon McDaniel: But Greg’s shoulders are on the canvas too, doesn’t he realize!

 

3/Cody’s shoulder away from the ref goes up!!

 

DING DING DING!

 

Littlebear pushes Cody off and jumps to his feet, raising his hand up in victory!

 

Jack Mulligan: The winner of the match, and new number one contender! Gregory Littlebear!!!

 

Jon McDaniel: The referee didn’t see it!  He didn’t see Cody’s shoulder go up!

 

Brian Rentfro: He also didn’t see Littlebear’s were still on the canvas!!

 

Cody is up, and is arguing with the referee!  Trying to show him he had his shoulder off the canvas!  Littlebear is on the ropes, playing to the crowd as Cody pushes past the referee and with Littlebear in that position, is able to lift him up and connect with the Royal Flush!

 

Jon McDaniel: The match is over!!

 

Brian Rentfro: That’s it Cody, you show him!

 

Cody stomps on Littlebear before security rushes out and separates the two men!  Cody is forced backstage, all the while shouting he was screwed!

 

Jon McDaniel: Like it or not, Littlebear will go on to face Psycho Sandra at Who’s The Man!?

 

Brian Rentfro: I don’t like it one bit! Cody was screwed!!!  He pinned Littlebear!

 

Jon McDaniel: The ref’s decision is final, and has to go with what he sees!

 

Brian Rentfro: Tell me, Jon!  Why are referee’s always so near sighted!  That finish has been playing on the PWAtron since the finish!

 

Jon McDaniel: That’s a wrestling mystery that has never been solved!  They’re assisting Littlebear to the back!  Time for our next match, which is a Who’s The Man? Qualifying match!

 

Who’s The Man? Qualifier

Alex Wilkie vs. XTC

 

Jack Mulligan: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a quarter-finals match for Who’s The Man?!  Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and weighing in at 275lbs; Alex Wilkie!!

 

The Drums play heavily for a few moments and then the lead singers yells loud. Alex walks out to the stage slapping his chest and pointing out to the crowd for a moment. he then turns around.

I'm the man, I'm the king,I'm the one
That's pure inside
Everyday,everyway I smell of suicide

Alex flexes his muscles from behind, as pyro fires up from the stage. in first a red and then a white and then a red color.

Bitter sins how they grow within
So you tell me it ain't right
I AM...ALL SINS
And you're my reason for life

He turns around and continues down the ramp. he walks up to the fans and gives some high fives and then flexes for the ladies.

I will stone you,stone you
Wrap my arms around you
I will stone you,stone you
My little HALO

Alex looks back and smiles widely before reaching the end of the ramp spins around and faces the ring, sparkler like pyro rains down from the ceiling

I'm the man,I'm the king,I'm the one
That's broken from giving
Everday,everyway I swear just one last try
Killing me with the death to be
Something that's so right
I AM...ALL SINS
My hands are scarred with time

sparkler like pyro rains down from the ceiling as Alex holds his hands out and feels the pyro rolling down his arms and chest.

Feel through my eyes

The pyro stops and Alex continues rolling under the bottom rope. he goes up to the nearest Ring post and hopes up to the second turnbuckle and Alex kisses his middle and index finger and points it out to his fans.

I'm the man with the rock in his hand, got
the rock in my hand gonna stone you stone you

Make a change,gotta rearrange
Idle minds,crushing time
I AM...ALL SINS
And you're the reason for life

He hops down as the last few riffs play and fade out. waiting for his next opponent.

 

Jack Mulligan: And his opponent, from Austin, Texas, weighing in at 225lbs, XTC!

 

The lights go out in the arena "Everything has been said before There's nothing left to say anymore When it's all the same You can ask for it by name" are heard throughout the arena, kicks into the rest of "This Is The New Shit" by Marilyn Manson. Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Silver strobe lights start to go on and off throughout the arena, on the

PWAtron the letters "XTC" are shown than it cuts to XTC hitting The Overdose on several different people, than the letters "XTC" are seen flashing on the screen with an Orange glow.  Moments pass, and it becomes apparent that XTC isn’t coming out.  The music then fades.

 

Brian Rentfro: Where is he?

 

Jon McDaniel: Good question! This is a huge match, a great opportunity!  I don’t get it.

 

Just then, ‘Come with Me’ erupts and the fans rise to their feet as Chamelion steps onto the stage with a mic in hand.  Wilkie looks confused and when the music dies, Chamelion speaks.

 

Chamelion: I’ve just been informed that XTC’s flight was delayed, and that he won’t be able to make it here tonight. 

 

The crowd boos, and he waits for the noise to settle.

 

Chamelion: However, I can’t push back the qualifying match to next week.  So, it would seem that Alex Wilkie will advance by default!

 

That bolsters the crowd’s reaction and the ref goes to raise a very pleased Alex Wilkie’s hand.  Chamelion, however, interrupts.

 

Chamelion: But!  Last week, Wilkie called me out to the ring, in front of the PWA crowd and questioned my actions at Genesis.  If there’s one thing anyone should know about me, is that I do what I want, when I want.  Kind of a character trait, ya know?  So, while I may have been apologetic at the time, the truth is I wanted Brymstone to lose and I’d do the same thing over again.

 

Wilkie’s face darkens, and he leans on the ropes.

 

Chamelion: And the truth is, I can’t exactly have my shows ending with forfeit wins… this is our peak quarter hour, when our best are supposed to shine and bring in all those pretty ratings!  So, Alex.. .kiddo… you’re going to compete… and it’s for that spot in the Who’s The Man Tourney!

 

Jon McDaniel: Huge news!  Wilkie’s going to face a mystery challenger!

 

Brian Rentfro: Who could it be? Who’s going to get their shot at the PWA World Title?

 

Chamelion: And your opponent? Well, he’s quite well known around here… fresh off his win at Genesis!  I give to you, the first ever Franchise of the PWA… The Soul-Taker; RAIZZOR!!!!!!!!

 

The entire arena explodes at the announcement and Alex’s face goes ashen white as pyros explode on stage, and in a line come blazing down the side of the ramps!  The pyros then go off in the four corners of the ring!  Smoke begins to fill the ring and on the stage as well.  Then, as the screams of the fans fill the arena full, The Soul-Taker appears on stage!  His crimson shaded masked face turns towards the ring and he sheds his leather duster right there on the ramp.  Bandages on his left leg and arm and shoulder are visible, as in a bandage on his neck.  Walking slowly down to the ring, Raizzor keeps an eye on Wilkie, who backs to the other side of the ring in disbelief.

 

Jon McDaniel: Oh My God!

 

Brian Rentfro: Now this isn’t fair!  Raizzor is not a man you go against unready!  Chamelion is a total ass for doing this!

 

Jon McDaniel: Be careful what you say!  Raizzor’s on the ring apron, glaring across the ring at Wilkie!  This is going to be a very brutal match!

 

Who’s The Man? Qualifier

Alex Wilkie vs. Raizzor

 

Stepping into the ring, Raizzor adjusts his gloves as Wilkie tentatively moves inwards, knowing he has little choice if he wants to advance!

 

DING DING DING!

 

Pushing aside his intimidation, Wilkie moves in and throws a hard left to Raizzor who takes the punch with little affect.  Wilkie then begins throwing rights and lefts, getting into the momentum of trying to take Raizzor down.  Taking each blow, Raizzor back steps a couple of paces before retaliating with an uppercut, sending Wilkie on his back to the canvas!

 

Jon McDaniel: After what Raizzor went through last week, Wilkie should know that those attacks won’t do much good!

 

Brian Rentfro: I think he’s still loopy from his trip to the hospital!

 

Raizzor reaches down and grabs Wilkie by the hair, pulling him to his feet.  Raizzor then throws Wilkie into the corner and backs up.  Racing in, Raizzor splashes Wilkie and Wilkie crumbles to the mat.

 

Jon McDaniel: Wilkie’s been turned into a rag doll!

 

Brian Rentfro: This one’s pretty much over!

 

Scooping Wilkie up, Raizzor goes for the Tombstone Shoulder Breaker, but Wilkie struggles and slips out of his grasp.  He lands on his feet behind Raizzor and hits a drop kick squarely to the Soul-Taker’s knee!  Raizzor drops down to one knee, and Wilkie bounces off the ropes and comes back with second drop kick to Raizzor’s face!

 

Jon McDaniel: Whoah! We spoke way too soon!

 

Brian Rentfro: You really can’t count out the guy! 

 

With Raizzor down, Wilkie pumps himself up and goes for the A+ Sault!  He connects perfectly, going for the cover.

And Wilkie gets shoved off and up, as Raizzor powers out, sending Wilkie crashing back down to the mat.  Raizzor sits up!

 

Jon McDaniel: Oh man!

 

Brian Rentfro: Someone’s not too happy now!

 

Raizzor gets to his feet, but Wilkie doesn’t give up.  Coming off the ropes, he clotheslines Raizzor and manages to get him to the ropes!  Backing up, Wilkie goes for another clothesline, connecting and sending the Soul-Taker over the ropes.  However, Raizzor lands right on his feet, whips his face up and reaches, grabbing Wilkie by the hair and bringing him crashing down outside the ring!

 

Jon McDaniel: Not the place to be with a man like Raizzor!

 

Brian Rentfro: This is going to get ugly!

 

Ignoring the count of the referee, Raizzor picks up Wilkie and whips him into the corner post. Wilkie slams hard and stumbles back!  Raizzor then hits a forearm smash to the back of his head and Wilkie becomes one with the floor.  Without hesitation, Raizzor picks him up and goes for another whip, but Wilkie is able to change course and it’s Raizzor that meets steel post.

 

Jon McDaniel: Nice counter by Wilkie!

 

Brian Rentfro: The counts up to eight!  If they don’t get back in!

 

Wilkie slides in to the ring and breaks the count, before getting back out and grabbing a steel chair!

 

Jon McDaniel: That was stupid! Had Wilkie just stayed in the ring he could have gotten a count out victory!

 

Brian Rentfro: And now he has a weapon!

 

Wilkie measures Raizzor, who lays against the post and swings!  Raizzor manages to duck and the echoing sound of chair to steel rings through out the arena.  Raizzor meets Wilkie with another uppercut, sending Alex stumbling back hard.  Back to his feet, Raizzor deftly kicks Wilkie in the stomach, and with him bent over, Raizzor spins his head to look right at the commentators, before lifting Wilkie up and sending him through their table with a Last Ride Power Bomb!

 

Jon McDaniel: Oh my God!!!

 

Brian Rentfro: Our Table!! 

 

Jon McDaniel: Sure, forget about Wilkie who’s in pieces in this rubble!

 

Raizzor turns and enters the ring as the crowd chants a collective HOLY SHIT.  Refs and Medics come racing down to the ringside area to attend to Wilkie.  Raizzor stands in the center of the ring, just staring out at Wilkie who’s laid out amongst the bits and pieces of the table.  The referee in the ring talks to one of the medics and after a few moments, the referee turns to Jack Mulligan.  Chamelion returns to the ring as this is going on and joins his brother and the officials.  Jack Mulligan then speaks.

 

Jack Mulligan: Ladies and Gentlemen, the referee has talked to the officials and has declared this match ended! Alex Wilkie can not continue in his condition, so the winner of the match and on his way to Who’s The Man?!  RAIZZOR!!!!!!!!

 

Brian Rentfro: Wow!

 

Jon McDaniel: After last week, Wilkie just didn’t have it in him!  Raizzor finished the job that Brymstone started!

 

Brian Rentfro: Not fair, I tell you!  Wilkie did not come out here prepared for Raizzor!

 

Jon McDaniel: Yet another example of why you don’t cross the boss!

 

Medics help Wilkie up and out of the pieces of the table and begin to help him to the back.  The fans are all on their feet chanting WILKIE! WILKIE! WILKIE! In respect to all that man has gone through.  In the ring, Raizzor and Chamelion watch on and Chamelion has an appreciative look on his face.  The brothers exit the ring as the crowd continues their support of Alex Wilkie.

 

Brian Rentfro: Hear that!  Even after getting obliterated, this place is solidly behind Alex Wilkie!

 

Jon McDaniel: On top of that, I think I hear boos directed towards Raizzor and Chamelion!

 

Brian Rentfro: Change can happen quickly here in the PWA!  But what an ending to our show tonight!

 

Jon McDaniel: What comes out of this, will play into next weeks amazing show!  That’s all for tonight!  This is Jon McDaniel, for Brian Rentfro, saying Goodnight!
