Back from
commercial, "Phantom of the Opera Overture" hits and the fans boo
loudly as the team of Bishop Cross and Reaper make their way to the ring
ominously. As the two wait in the ring, "A Violent Reaction" by
American Head Charge hits and the fans cheer as Speed Demon heads to the
ring. Demon stops at the foot of the ring, awaiting his partner and
staring down his opposition. Moments later, "Edge of the Earth"
by 30 Seconds to Mars cues and Loki emerges, prompting the fans to cheer
loudly. Loki meets Demon at the foot of the ramp and they slide into the
ring.
* LOKI & SPEED DEMON VS. REAPER & BISHOP
CROSS *
REFEREE: JASON CHURCH
The bell
sounds and Loki and Demon line up on one side of the ring, Cross and Reaper
lined up opposite it. They inch towards each other, but before anyone can
lock up, Loki blasts Demon from behind, knocking him down!
Suddenly,
Loki, Cross and Reaper are all pummeling Demon with furious kicks and
punches! The referee immediately throws the match out and tries to get
them away from Speed Demon, but referee Jason Church ends up taking an Atheist
superkick to the jaw from Loki for his troubles!
* WINNERS: NO CONTEST *
After this,
officials are hesitant to enter the ring, and the full-scale assault on Speed
Demon continues. A chair is now in the ring, and Reaper busts Demon open
furiously with a shot to the skull. As the beating continues, Dana
Chapman runs down to the ring, tears in her eyes.
Dana slides
into the ring and immediately places her body over Demon's so that they can't
get to it. However, Bishop Cross takes the steel chair, and viciously
cracks Dana right in the face with it, slicing it open! Dana goes down
hard, but Reaper lifts her up and destroys her with the Passed Judgment
piledriver, crashing her spine into the mat! Dana is completely
unconscious, and for good measure, Reaper blasts her with a huge big splash!
Demon is then
lifted back off the mat, and Loki blasts him in the face with the Atheist kick.
Reaper then goes up top and destroys him with the Last Breath. From
there, Bishop Cross pries Demon off the mat and nails him hard with the
Crossfire. Speed Demon and Dana Chapman are then piled on top of each
other, both bleeding profusely and both unconscious, as each man places a foot
on one of the bodies and Cross demands a microphone.
Cross: The Army of the Damned has arrived!
Cross throws
the mic down and "Phantom of the Opera Overture" hits the speakers
again, as a chorus of boos rains down upon the ring and we go to commercial.

BREAK --
Returning from break, silence has fallen throughout the arena and Speed Demon
and Dana Chapman have both been loaded onto spine boards, their necks
stabilized in braces.
The
commentators then sit in silence for the next minute, as Speed Demon and Dana
Chapman are carefully loaded into an ambulance and driven from the arena.
Kazu
Matsui's "The Stone Monkey" then plays to a highly negative reaction
as Walter Gindin leads Keiko Ishida down to the ring, neither dressed for
combat this evening.
Gindin and
Ishida climb into the ring and she rubs her Women's Championship belt around
her waist as The Superagent begins to speak.
Gindin: Okay, I know I'm not scheduled to be here
right now, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. Keiko Ishida is not just the
most dominant woman we have ever seen, not just the best champion in history,
that's not why I'm out here. Think about this, every time this woman has walked
out to this ring, she has left as a winner. Each and every single time. Name
someone else who has done that in that locker room. That's right, nobody has.
Face it guys, this woman is invincible! Nobody can challenge her, and for that
reason, I am out here demanding that she become the highest paid athlete on
this roster! Win percentage doesn't lie folks! Come on, who hasn't she beaten
in a title match yet?! Everyone has had a shot!
With that
said, a big pop comes from the crowd as "B R Right" by Trina and
Ludacris takes over the PA system. Dee Licious marches down to the ring to get
a mic and speak.
Gindin: Don't hate the greatness
Gindin: Oh, so you want the title huh? Fine! Be my
guest.
Ishida: Your answer.......is no.
"The
Stone Monkey" replays and boos pour out as Gindin and Ishida exit before
the next break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Sevendust's
"Black" hits the speakers, and a large pop comes as Paul Dawkins
walks out onto the stage. The former International Champion looks extremely focused
on outlasting his three opponents and leaving as the number one contender to
that title as he steps into the ring.
Ferrara: After what happened to Paul Dawkins in his
last title match, you know he's more than ready to get another shot at the International
Championship.
"Still
Ballin" by 2Pac and Trick Daddy plays next, and a similar
ovation greets James Biamonte as he marches out through the curtain. He slides
into the ring and paces like a caged animal as "Da Repercussions" by
50 Cent begins for the arrival of Mike Grieco. Biamonte is ready to charge
as the music hits, but Tom Stevens holds him back by threatening to remove him
from the matchup before it begins. Grieco cautiously approaches the ring and
steps inside as 50 Cen'ts newer hit "Piggy Bank" elicits a huge
ovation from the crowd as Renegade steps on the scene.
Ferrara: After dropping The Progressive Title at
Symphony of Destruction, Renegade is jumping for a chance to gain another
title.
* FATAL FOURWAY ELIMINATION: RENEGADE VS. MIKE GRIECO VS. JAMES BIAMONTE
VS. PAUL DAWKINS *
REFEREE: TOM STEVENS
Renagade
slides into the ring as the bell sounds, but he simply looks on with Dawkins as
Biamonte and Grieco tear into each other again! Both men brawl on the
canvas until Renegade kicks Biamonte square in the back and Dawkins drops an
elbow to the back of Grieco's head.
The tag
partners separate Grieco and Biamonte by working over each in a corner and then
Irish whipping them to the middle of the ring. Biamonte tries to take Grieco's
head off with a clothesline, but Grieco ducks it. Dawkins levels Biamonte with
a clothesline of his own, but Grieco is sent flying over the top to the floor
after a back body drop from Renegade!
Renegade and Dawkins
team up to double team Biamonte with a few stomps before lifting him up and
driving him down with a double press slam. Both men hit the ropes to further
the attack, but only Dawkins can drop and elbow as Grieco pulls Renegade out of
the ring by the legs and smashes his head across the announce table!
Dawkins lifts
Biamonte off the mat, but he is surprised by a punch to the gut before being
clotheslined up and over the top rope! Stevens follows him out, expecting
outside action, but it gives Grieco the perfect opportunity to slide a steel
chair into the ring. He tries to swing it, but Biamonte quickly kicks him,
snatches the chair and whacks him to a huge ovation! But the cheering quickly
ends as Stevens catches him and disqualifies him!
Biamonte
leaves in a huff as Dawkins slides back into the ring. He closes in on Grieco,
who yanks him by the singlet to slam his face into the top turnbuckle. Dawkins
stumbles out and thrown to the canvas with a big belly-to-belly suplex! Grieco
gets up to taunt Biamonte, who turns around from the ramp to come back and hop
on the ring apron. Grieco swipes at him, but Biamonte ducks under it and grabs
him by the head to snap his neck down hard on the top rope as he jumps off the
apron. Grieco wobbles backwards until Renegade spins him around and blasts him
with The FU! Renegade makes a cover and Stevens counts the one...two...three!
Troy: James Biamonte just paid Grieco back with an
F-U from Renegade, and now look at what we've got!
Grieco rolls
out of the ring as the crowd cheers for the visual of Renegade and Dawkins
standing across from one another. They shake hands to another pop before
locking up in the middle of the ring. Dawkins overpowers Renegade, but the
former Progressive Champion backs up and takes him down with a small monkey
flip.
Dawkins gets
up quickly and runs into a shot to the midsection before Renegade backs up into
the ropes and jumps for an axe kick. He swings his left leg down, but Dawkins
steps back to avoid the blow. He kicks Renegade in the gut and hoists him up
for the M.O.A.B., but Renegade slips out behind him. He turns Dawkins around
and lifts him up to deliver another F-U, but Dawkins takes him down in a
crucifix and keeps his shoulders on the mat for the 1----2----3!
* WINNER:
PAUL DAWKINS *
"Black"
replays and Dawkins is announced as the winner, but Renegade carries a huge
look of disdain on his face as his partner's arm is raised. Renegade kicks the
bottom rope and the music stops as he glares at Dawkins from across the ring.
Dawkins stands with a confused look, but loses focus as Liz Rush darts down to
the ring to get in the middle. She brings both men to the center of the ring,
where they shake hands and embrace to a huge ovation before posing for the crowd.

BREAK --
Nine Inch Nails' "The Hand That
Feeds" hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that
reads "PWA Meltdown 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 Meltdown logo.
O'Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O'Brien and this is
the Meltdown report. Folks, we're just 11 days away from PWA Meltdown,
live from the

All this and more for Meltdown! That's all
for this week, folks. For the Meltdown report, I'm Ron O'Brien saying see
you next week!
We return to
ringside, where Nick Cade is standing in the ring, alongside scores of
policemen that surround a table.
Cade: On July 2nd, we will witness an ORA
Championship match that will pit former friends against one another as enemies
at Meltdown. Both of these men had tremendously strong showings at the Symphony
of Destruction, but we will see who is the better man come Meltdown. So with
that said, allow me to introduce first, the challenger, Romeo!
Three D-bombs
explode on the ramp as B.G.'s "I Want It" hits the speakers. Boos
almost drown out the music as Romeo appears first, but they grow in number as
Bryan Conroy, Helen Summers and F. Anthony Annetta appear alongside him. The
ORA's quartet make their way to the ring and Romeo stares down the officers as
Cade speaks again.
Cade: And the man who will face Romeo at Meltdown,
The ORA World Heavyweight Champion, G.I. Jew!
"Opium
of The People" by Slipknot explodes over the speakers and the crowd goes
wild as GI Jew rides down to the ring on his motorcycle. He climbs off and
slings the belt over his shoulder before coming into the ring amid the beef to
take a seat. Romeo sits down as well as Cade speaks again.
Cade: Alright fellas. Next weekend ---
Cade has the
mic ripped out from under him as Conroy grabs it to speak.
Conroy: Shut up kid, this is my company. Now, since
it has become painfully obvious that Romeo will be screwed every chance he gets
to regain the PWA Championship, he has decided to move on to bigger and better
things by winning the title that pays the bills around here, The ORA
Championship.
Before Conroy
can utter out another word, KISS' "War Machine" hits and the crowd
cheers loudly as Commissioner Kerry Cox power walks down to the ring with a mic
of his own.
Cox: Oh no
Conroy: Traitor?! Where were you when this man was
screwed out of his title?! Where was his one-on-one rematch?!
Cox: He lost his chance at that.
Romeo: Well now I’m taking my chance and getting
this belt! Give me the contract.
Romeo grabs
the clipboard and quickly signs the contract before forking it over to GI Jew.
Jew: I don't need to give you a speech like I did
with Failla. You show up at Meltdown, you leave in an ambulance just like he
did!
GI Jew signs
the paper to a big pop from the crowd, but tosses it aside as Romeo stands up
quickly. GI Jew does the same, daring Romeo to take a shot at him. Da Playboi does
not need to be asked twice as he rears back and nails him in the jaw! Jew comes
back with a shot at his own, and the table is turned over as both men begin
brawling on the red carpeted ring!
