TUESDAY,
MAY 2, 2006 * BLUE CROSS ARENA *
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
As we return from commercial, “Dead
Promises” by The Rasmus explodes onto the speakers, and Morgan Day makes her
way down the aisle to a thunderous ovation. Morgan, looking about as far from
pleased as one could possibly get, grabs a microphone and enters the
ring.
Morgan: Last week, as I’m sure you all know, I lost my Women’s Championship
to Keiko Ishida, and it was thanks to that filthy little skank Magnifica. There
is no way of getting around it, no way of sugar-coating it. That is exactly
what happened, and I will settle for nothing less than complete vindication and
ultimate revenge. Now, I know Magnifica was out here earlier, and I did all I
could do to restrain myself from coming out here and beating the bloody hell
out of her. But I decided to take care of things more democratically. While
Magnifica was out here spewing her venom to Greg Tantalus, I was in Kerry Cox’s
office, finalizing a match. And that match, as you might have initially
suspected, is in fact NOT a rematch against Keiko Ishida for the Women’s
Championship. I will take care of that in due time. What I DID ask for, and
what I have received, is a one-on-one match this Saturday night at Animosity
against YOU, Magnifica. When we get to Edmonton on Saturday, there will be no
place for you to run, no place for you to hide, and just mere hours before you
have to stand in Jackie Baccaro’s corner and deal with not only Lauren
Tantalus, but trying to keep Jackie from losing the title to Greg Tantalus, you
will have to deal with getting your ass handed to you by me, right in the
middle of that ring.
Suddenly, Morgan is cut off by “She’s a Bitch” by Missy Elliot blaring onto
the speakers, and Magnifica, microphone in tow, making her way to the ring to a
thunderously jeer-filled response. Magnifica enters the ring and stands face to
face with Morgan Day as the fans buzz loudly.
Magnifica: Well congratulations to you. You have managed to get Kerry Cox,
the miserable bastard that he is, to sign me up for my first actual match back
here in the PWA, since I lost a loser leaves the company match almost three
years ago. And you know, I’ve been meaning to get back into the ring since I’ve
been back, but I just simply haven’t had the urge to. You come close to giving
me that urge. You know why? Well, Morgan, it’s because I just don’t like you.
You call me a skank? You’re the one screwing the most pathetic man-whore that’s
ever walked the earth.
Morgan: It’s so easy for you to rewrite history the way you want it to be
viewed, isn’t it Magnifica? You like for the story between you and Vulture to
cast you as a sympathetic figure, to cast him as a vile, reprehensible
character that left you justified in everything you did to the man, don’t you?
Well, believe me, NOTHING could justify that. You are a coward, a manipulator,
and an absolute piece of garbage.
Magnifica: You see how easy it is for him to poison your head? You believe what
he tells you to believe, Morgan. You’re nothing but a sheep. They’ve all been
sheep. They believe his sob story, and believe that I’m the one to blame for
all this. But no one wants to believe my side of the story. No one wants to
believe that I’m not this evil, manipulative bitch that tried to destroy Vulture’s
life and the lives of everyone around him. But you know what? If they don’t,
they don’t. It sells tickets, right? You’ll find out how right I am sooner or
later, Morgan. They all do.
Morgan: So what are you saying? That you didn’t go behind his back and abort
the child he didn’t even know he had? That you didn’t sell him out in CAW and
have people try to end his career for your own gain? That you didn’t continue
to play with his head, try to destroy his mind, well after you two were no
longer romantically involved? That you didn’t then show up in the PWA in 2003
for the sole purpose of trying to prove to yourself that you could still
manipulate him, that he could still be your puppet? You got what you had coming
to you three years ago when he tossed you out of this company on your
ass.
Magnifica: Vulture deserved everything I gave to him. Vulture is the scum of
this earth, and he deserves to die. I aborted his child, because the thought of
having his offspring inside me repulsed me. I stayed away for nearly three
years, but when I saw him ruining the career of a promising young athlete like
Jackie Baccaro, I could stay away no longer.
Morgan: So you came back to poison his mind, to turn him against his mentor.
You disgust me, Magnifica. Even before I met you, I hated you. And you know how
I know what Vulture says is true and what you say is a lie? Because I know
Vulture. And I know you. You are the epitome of all that is evil and wrong in
this world. You came back here for some twisted form of vengeance, and you are
now getting exactly that. You saw that Vulture was the top manager in this
company, with a budding relationship with a woman he cares deeply for, and who
cares deeply for him. And what did you do? You couldn’t just sit back in your Hell’s
Kitchen apartment and do nothing, no. You had to come back and make sure that
he couldn’t find happiness. Well, Magnifica, you’ve accomplished it. His
protégé turned against him, and then you took away his dignity, his pride, his
livelihood, and sent him away. He’s at home convalescing, and won’t even THINK
about coming back here. He’s just about given up hope, Magnifica, because of
what you have done. He feels powerless to do anything to stop you, and maybe at
this juncture he is. But I am not. You decided to screw with the wrong woman,
Magnifica. You screwed me out of my title, twice. You tried to injure me. You
and your meathead protégé destroyed my love and sent him away from this company
that he loves so much. And now, you will pay for it. You will pay for it with
your career, and you will pay for it this Saturday night at Animosity. But you
know what? I don’t want to wait for Animosity. I want you to pay… RIGHT
NOW!
With that, Morgan spears Magnifica to the mat and begins pounding away on
her viciously to a round of thunderous cheers from the crowd! Magnifica turns
her over and begins wailing away on her as well! The two women brawl back and
forth on the mat until several officials storm down the aisle to pry them
apart! Morgan and Magnifica are being held apart by numerous officials, lunging
at each other hatefully, as the fans continue to cheer and we go to
break!
Hosemann:
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from commercial, the camera takes us ringside, to our commentators
Victor Troy and Superstar Scott Hosemann.
Hosemann: That’s right,
Hosemann: They were, so let’s get the graphics up on the screen. You can check
out results through Saturday night HERE, and
you can check out the updated bracket HERE.
Hosemann: Well clearly, it was me being eliminated by Rudy Montenora. Haha, no
in all seriousness, there were some shocking events that took place. As for my
loss, well, I got a victory, and lost to one of the classic superstars of this
company, who had been out of action for less time than myself. I’m not
dissatisfied with how it went, but I’m certainly a bit disappointed to be gone.
But, Troy, clearly, the biggest upset of the weekend was Henry Swanson, who was
handed a gift with a victory over Scythe in the first round, was given another
gift this weekend, as members of the Legacy – Justin Schenck and Darrin Giles
in particular – interfered to cost Renegade that match. It’s all about
jockeying for position for Animosity, and unfortunately for Renegade, it cost
him a spot in this tournament.
Hosemann: I can’t really even say that was much of a shock,
Hosemann: We sure will,
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from break, “Hey
You” by Simon Says blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering wildly
as Greg Tantalus makes his way down to the ring. Tantalus steps inside and
begins readying himself as “Footprints” by G-Unit overtakes the speakers and
the International Champion Showtime Damon Savage emerges to a huge ovation.
Showtime joins Tantalus in the ring, and the two begin talking things over as
“And Then What” by Young Jeezy hits the speakers, and “Da Playboi” Romeo
arrives to a cascade of boos. Romeo pauses at the foot of the ramp, waiting for
his partner, and he doesn’t have to wait long. Moments later, “Things Done
Changed” by Notorious BIG comes crashing onto the speakers, and the fans boo
vociferously as Magnifica leads the PWA World Heavyweight Champion Jackie
Baccaro to the ring. Baccaro hands the belt to Magnifica, and he and Romeo
slide into the ring and immediately begin brawling with Tantalus and Showtime,
prompting the bell to sound and this match to officially get underway!
Troy: Alright, here we go!
Hosemann: What a match this should be!
* PWA CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO & ROMEO VS. GREG TANTALUS &
INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE *
Referee: Tom Stevens
Romeo and Showtime brawl to the outside of the ring, and Tantalus and
Baccaro are left exchanging fists in the center of the ring. Tantalus gets the
edge on Baccaro in the early going, and the fans cheer loudly, pulling for
Tantalus! However, with Baccaro reeling, Magnifica jumps onto the apron, trying
to cause a distraction. The distraction works, but only momentarily, as
Tantalus grabs Magnifica by the hair and yanks her off the apron, sending her
down to the arena floor to a huge ovation!
Hosemann: I’ve never seen a crowd so thirsty for a woman’s blood! I can’t say I
blame them, though!
Tantalus smiles, but
turns around and is instantly floored by a thunderous Baccaro clothesline. Baccaro
then lifts Tantalus up and whips him into the corner hard, following him in
with a huge splash. Tantalus stumbles forward, but the champion grabs him in a bearhug,
and tries to break his ribs!
Hosemann: This isn’t little friendly hug either! Baccaro is a vicious, vicious
man, and he is without a doubt trying to squeeze the life out of his Animosity
challenger!
Baccaro squeezes the hold
tightly, but Tantalus will not back down, and will not give in. With the fans
fueling him, Tantalus rakes Baccaro’s eyes repeatedly until the champion breaks
the hold! Then, with Baccaro’s sight limited, Tantalus goes to his corner and
tags Showtime into the fray! Showtime enters and immediately downs Baccaro with
a big left hand! Romeo enters and Showtime downs him with a hard left! Baccaro
then charges at him, but Showtime takes him down with a big back body drop!
Baccaro gets up again, and Showtime downs him with an axe kick!
Hosemann: He sure is!
Baccaro retreats to the
corner and tags Romeo in. Showtime seems delighted at the opportunity to show
Romeo just what he’s got this close to Animosity. The two lock up, and Romeo
gains the initial advantage, shoving Showtime down to the mat hard. Showtime,
however, pops right back up, looking to show Romeo that he won’t go down that
easily. They lock up again, and this time, Showtime is able to cinch Romeo in a
headlock. Romeo tries successfully to shove Showtime off and into the ropes,
and Savage runs back at him, leapfrogging over and hitting the opposite ropes.
From there, Romeo looks to catch him with a powerslam, but Showtime turns it
into a tilt-a-whirl hurricanrana! The fans cheer loudly, but Magnifica quickly
jumps onto the apron, getting referee Stevens’ attention. At this, Baccaro
enters the ring and clubs Showtime down from behind with a hard forearm! The
referee doesn’t see Baccaro’s illegal involvement, and Romeo now takes a firm
hold of this bout. Romeo weakens Showtime with a big sidewalk slam, followed by
a huge powerslam. Then, Romeo perches Showtime on the top rope, and virtually
destroys him with a punishing superplex! Romeo covers… one, two, and Showtime
just barely kicks out.
Hosemann: He is. Showtime needs to make a tag desperately.
Romeo bounces up, and
decides that it is time to end this match. Da Playboi signals for the Dre Day
Powerbomb, and the fans at Blue Cross Arena begin to boo dramatically. Romeo
lifts Showtime up for the move, getting ready to smash him down with it, but
Showtime counters into a hurricanrana and downs him hard! The fans come to
their feet as Showtime inches toward Tantalus and the tag! However, Romeo is
able to get the tag first, and tags Baccaro into the ring. Baccaro then runs at
Showtime, but runs right past him and blasts Tantalus in the jaw with a right
hand that knocks him off the apron, preventing Showtime from making a tag! Baccaro
then whips Showtime into the corner and charges for a splash, but Showtime
sidesteps him and Baccaro goes crashing into the turnbuckles! Showtime rolls
Baccaro up… one, two, and Baccaro kicks out! Baccaro then whips Showtime off
the ropes and hits the mat as Savage returns, but when Savage hits the ropes,
Tantalus tags himself in unbeknownst to the champion! Showtime then leapfrogs
over Baccaro, but gets caught on the rebound with a huge Baccaro powerslam. The
champion then signals for the Baccaro Bomb, still not knowing that Showtime is
not the legal man. Baccaro lifts Showtime for the move, but Tantalus slides
into the ring, nails Baccaro with a quick low blow that the referee doesn’t
see, causing Baccaro to drop Showtime, and rolls him up! One, two, three!
Hosemann: Wow! Oh my! How sudden! Baccaro is in shock!
The fans go nuts as “Hey
You” replays over the speakers and Tantalus and Showtime quickly slide out of
the ring. Romeo, Magnifica, and most of all, Baccaro, are livid inside the
ring, screaming at their Animosity opponents to come back to the ring as
Tantalus and Showtime make the popular exit. Baccaro goes ballistic in the ring
and Magnifica tries to calm him down, while hiding her own anger.
Hosemann: It certainly isn’t outlandish to suggest it,
* WINNERS VIA PINFALL: GREG TANTALUS
& SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE *
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
As we return, we are
taken to the backstage area, where Jason Calysto and PWA CEO Kerry Cox are
loosening up for their upcoming tag team bout against Bryan Conroy and Mike
Troha.
Calysto: You nervous?
Cox: About tonight? Nah. About Saturday? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a
little nervous. And in my position, anybody would.
Calysto: That’s true. Well, if this is your last night on Frequency, I just
wanted to thank you for the great job you’ve done.
Cox: Save it. No talking like that. I’m gonna win on Saturday, just like we’re
gonna win here tonight. Let’s go do this thing.
Cox then exits, pumped, and Calysto follows.
A video package then airs on the Jumbotron, hyping the intense match that will
take place this Saturday night at Animosity between Solomon and Briggs. The
video, set to the show’s theme song, “Jambi” by TOOL, showcases their feud,
which began last summer, through Everlasting Epic IV, and Walking Wounded, when
Solomon put Briggs on the shelf, up until Briggs’ recent re-emergence, which
has led to this bout at Animosity. As the package ends, we head to commercial
break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
TOOL’s “Jambi” hits the
speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads
“PWA Animosity Report.” From there, the shot takes us to a
backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O'Brien, who is standing in front of a
backdrop featuring the Animosity logo.
O'Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O'Brien and this
is the Animosity report. The Progressive Wrestling

former Women’s Champion Morgan Day!
All this and more coming your way this Saturday, May 6 from
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from commercial, “Arcarsenal”
by At the Drive-In blares onto the speakers, and a largely negative reaction
meets The Miracle Mike Troha as he makes his way to the ring. Troha doesn’t
react in any way, positively or negatively, as he enters the ring and prepares
for battle. Moments later, “Sad But True” by Metallica hits the speakers, and
the fans burst into raucous jeers as Bryan Conroy makes his way to the ring,
alongside his manager Helen Summers. The two make their way to the ring, and
Summers pauses on the outside while Conroy joins his cousin in the ring. As
Conroy and Troha begin to talk strategy in the ring, “War Machine” by KISS
explodes onto the speakers, and the fans give an exceptionally warm ovation to
the CEO of this company, Kerry Cox, as he heads to the ring. Cox pauses at the
foot of the ramp, and seconds later, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis blares
onto the speakers, and The Iceman Jason Calysto makes his way to the ring to a
thunderous ovation! Calysto meets Cox at the foot of the ramp, and the two
slide into the ring and immediately begin going at it with Troha and Conroy as
the bell sounds!
Hosemann: This match should be fast and furious, Troy! With the energy already
in this ring, I can’t imagine it going to long!
* THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO & KERRY
COX VS. THE MIRACLE MIKE TROHA & BRYAN CONROY *
Referee: Matt Hansen
Chaos ensues in the early
going of the match, with all four men brawling incessantly, and referee Hansen
trying desperately to gain some semblance of control. Finally, Calysto and
Troha are removed from the ring, and we are left with Bryan Conroy and Kerry
Cox slugging it out with everything they’ve got in the middle of the squared
circle!
Hosemann: They will do battle this Friday night in the third round of the
Golden Ring tournament, but it will be for all the marbles on Saturday night at
Animosity! Full control of the PWA is on the line, as is full control of the
Golden Ring tournament and Bryan Conroy’s career! There’s no turning back!
Troy: And judging by the way these two are pounding the hell out of each other,
I don’t think either would want to!
Cox takes Conroy down
with a hard clothesline, and downs him with a big dropkick as he gets to his
feet! Conroy slides out of the ring for a breather, but Cox follows him to the
outside and continues his beating, slugging him with hard rights and lefts, and
smashing his head into the steel barricade on the outside! Mike Troha then runs
over and blasts Cox in the spine, pounding away on him! Then, Calysto joins the
fray, and an all-out war breaks out on the outside! Referee Matt Hansen screams
at everyone to get back into the ring and continue the match, but no one is
listening! Cox and Conroy then each grab steel chairs as Calysto and Troha
continue to brawl with each other, and seeing this, Hansen calls for the bell!
Hosemann: How could you not?! This match was a lost cause right from the
get-go, but this brawl still rages on!
* WINNERS: NO CONTEST *
Cox and Conroy enter the
ring with their chairs and smack them against each other, as if engaged in a
duel! Troha then enters the ring and tackles Cox to the mat and holds him
there! Calysto enters, but Conroy smacks him right in the skull with the steel
chair! With Calysto down, Conroy tells Troha to lift Cox up and hold him back
for him to nail with the chair. However, right before Conroy plasters him with
the chair, Helen Summers enters the ring and begs Conroy to let her nail Cox
with it instead. Conroy obliges, but as Summers yells at Cox and threatens to
use the chair, the commissioner, Paul Ferrara storms down the aisle with a
chair of his own! The fans cheer thunderously as
Hosemann: As will Jason Calysto!
Troy: So much can happen, folks, but the only way to find out what does is to
order Animosity, live on pay-per-view, this Saturday night! Folks, for
Superstar Scott Hosemann, I’m Victor Troy, saying goodnight, everybody! See you
Saturday night in
