The commercial then ends and we return to the arena, where Lee Palmer is
standing in the ring.
Palmer:
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Morgan Day!
There is a buzz throughout the building as “The Horror” by RJD2 overtakes
the speakers and Morgan Day, wearing a long black coat, a red top, and dark blue
jeans, walks down to the ring, amidst rapidly flashing lights.
Morgan Day
grabs a microphone from the ringside area and steps into the ring, ready to
speak.
Morgan: (in a proper British accent) For those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Morgan
Day, and I have come to revolutionize women's wrestling in the PWA. I
have come from
Suddenly,
"Falling From The Sky" by VAST explodes onto the speakers, and the
fans, as they usually do, pop initially for the song and then drift into loud
boos for the two-time former PWA Champion and current manager of Jackie
Baccaro, Vulture, as he makes his way to the ring, a smirk on his face.
Morgan Day noticeably sighs in the middle of the ring as Vulture grabs a
microphone, adjusts his black leather Kangol and
black Aviators, and enters the ring. Vulture smiles
cockily at Morgan, nodding his head up and down as Morgan stares at him.
Morgan: Are you going to say something, or
are you going to stand there with that shit-eating grin all bloody night?
Vulture: (laughing) I see you still have your
sarcasm. Great. You look good.
Morgan: I am aware. Is there a point to
you being here?
Vulture: Yes, there is. Listen, I know
we didn't exactly end our working relationship on the best terms seven years
ago, but even you have to admit that you learned a ton from me, and the
knowledge you obtained is stuff that you can't find anywhere else.
Morgan: (sarcastically) Oh no, the wisdom of
the mighty Vulture cannot be purchased at your local Barnes and Noble for
$14.99. That wisdom is priceless and your brain should be bronzed
and put on display when you die.
Vulture: Keep dishing it out, Morgan, but you
know I can and will give it right back to you.
Morgan: I'm sorry, do you want a medal?
Vulture: Listen, I didn't come out here to shoot the shit. I came
out here to talk business. Now I know you don't like me...
Morgan: Really? Why wouldn't I like a
conceited womanizing prick like you?
Vulture: The same reason why I wouldn't like
a stuck-up, smarmy bitch like you. But that's besides
the point. We don't have to like each other. But when I
trained you seven years ago, I saw more promise in you than any athlete I'd
ever trained before or since, including the man who will one day rule over this
company with an iron fist, Jackie Baccaro. And I must have been doing
something right, because you made tremendous progress under me, and after we
parted ways, it took you seven years to get here. But the fact is, you did get here. And you have background in a
number of different styles. You have the tools in place. You need
proper guidance to get all the way to the top. We don't have to like each
other for us to make a whole lot of money together. I'm offering you my
managerial services. With you in the women's division and Baccaro rising
in the heavyweight division, the three of us could run this place. I'm
not asking for a decision now. I'm asking for a decision next week.
I know you make your in-ring debut next week against Camieko. I'll be
watching. When the match is over, come find me backstage and give me your
answer. I'll be waiting.
With that,
Vulture drops the mic and "Falling From The Sky" hits. He says something to Morgan
that the camera doesn't pick up and exits the ring, headed to the back.
Morgan looks back at him, pensively, as we take a commercial break.

BREAK --
Back from break, "F*ckin in the Bushes" by
Oasis overtakes the speakers and the fans cheer loudly as The Iceman Jason
Calysto makes his way to the ring, in his wrestling gear.
Ferrara: I don't know, I don't have him
wrestling on my program.
Calysto grabs
a microphone from ringside and steps into the ring, ready to speak.
Calysto: Well, we're just one day away from
the big awards ceremony and Hall of Fame inductions, where I hope to win
wrestler of the year or match of the year, and four days away from Everlasting
Epic, which marks the one-year anniversary of my return to the PWA after an
eight-month retirement. I'm excited, guys, and I can't wait to go to
After a brief
pause, "Tajiri" hits and the man that steps
out from behind the curtain is Billy Chan.
Chan enters
the ring and shakes hands with Calysto as the bell sounds.
* THE
ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO VS. BILLY CHAN *
Referee:
Dan Martin
Chan locks up
with Calysto in the middle of the ring, but Calysto quickly takes him
down. As soon as he is down, the Iceman pounces on him, not allowing Chan
any time to breathe. He then lets Chan to his feet, but immediately downs
him with a guillotine choke! Calysto locks the hold in tightly, putting
Chan through immense pain, but Calysto relinquishes the hold just prior to Chan
tapping.
Ferrara: I'm sure he has a ton of ring rust,
but this match just isn't funny.
Chan gets to
his feet again, and this time, Calysto destroys him with a punishing spinning
heel kick. From there, Calysto slaps on the Crossface
with all his might, and Chan wastes no time tapping out.
Troy: That's it, it's over.
*
WINNER VIA SUBMISSION: JASON CALYSTO *
The match is
over, but Calysto refuses to release the hold. Calysto is heard
screaming, "This is you on Saturday, Scythe! This is you on
Saturday!" However, he keeps the hold locked in.
The fans
don't know what to think initially, but begin cheering wildly as Scythe runs
down, steel chair in hand! Calysto sees him and lets
go of the hold, exiting the ring and backpedaling up the ramp. Scythe
keeps an eye on Calysto as he checks on his fallen former partner and we take a
commercial break, just four days before the two popular superstars head for an
unforgettable collision.

The camera shifts to the Jumbotron, where a video package airs, set to
"Victory" by P. Diddy and Notorious BIG.

"Vladimir Vydrina vs. Showtime Damon Savage
Everlasting Epic IV
Back at ringside, "Da Repercussions" by 50
Cent hits and the fans begin booing rabidly as Mike Grieco makes his way to the
ring, alongside PWA Women's Champion Keiko Ishida and her manager Walter
Gindin. The two ignore the jeers of the crowd and settle into the ring
for mixed tag team action.
Troy: Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's time
for our mixed tag team match, and this one should be good. It's James
Biamonte and his sister Diane, better known to PWA fans as Dee Licious, going
up against
As Grieco and
Keiko settle in the ring, "Still Ballin" by
2Pac hits and the fans begin to cheer loudly as James Biamonte and Dee Licious
make their way down to the ring. They waste no time heading inside as the
bell sounds to get the match underway.

Biamonte and
Dee are able to clear the ring initially, with Biamonte clotheslining
Grieco out and Dee barreling Keiko to the outside. The fans cheer and
Biamonte and
Biamonte has
the upper hand on Grieco initially, pounding on him violently. He whips
Grieco against the ropes, but Grieco counters it upon his return and
clotheslines him down hard. Looking for a quick breather, Grieco tags

Keiko doesn't
make a move, but she distracts Biamonte long enough that Grieco comes into the
ring and nails Biamonte down from behind with a clubbing forearm. Grieco
continues to work over Biamonte, battering him into the corner, until Biamonte
counters with a JB Cutter out of nowhere!
Keiko Ishida
enters the ring, looking to stop Biamonte from delivering the Buzzkill, but as Biamonte lifts Grieco for the move, Keiko
charges and
The fans
cheer loudly as "B R Right" hits the speakers and Dee celebrates with

ex-boyfriend as we take a commercial break.

With the crowd ready for the main event, "Going Under" by Evanescence
begins to play, and groans come from the disappointed crowd as Michelle
appears at the top of the ramp, in a referee's shirt.
Troy: Oh jeez, Michelle?! This is just another
attempt by Bryan Conroy to stick it to Jaguar and Greg Tantalus.
Michelle
climbs inside the ring and speaks over a microphone, barely getting over the
array of boos she receives. .
Michelle: For those of you that
missed it earlier, it is my duty to inform you all, especially you Greg, that
since Kerry Cox decided to appoint a special referee for The PWA Title
match at Everlasting Epic, he is appointing one for the main event
tonight. The shirt should be obvious, but since we are in

"Parabola" begins and Hollywood Mike Griffin walks out with Justin
Schenck to even more jeers. Both men carry huge smiles on their faces as the
red, white and blue fireworks explode on the stage.
Within a few
moments, Jaguar steps out to a huge ovation, and the crowd can't get enough of
the former PWA Champion as he points up and poses in front of his fiery
pyrotechnics. Instead of his normal black leather jacket, Jaguar sports a

Romeo stomps
away on Tantalus before getting him up and driving him back-first into the
turnbuckles. Romeo rams Tantalus' midsection over and over again and Michelle laughs
with glee as Tantalus falls to the canvas in agony. Romeo gets Tantalus off the
mat and holds him high before dropping him with a gorilla press slam! Romeo
covers and Michelle quickly counts 1..2..and Tantalus
shoots an arm off the mat.

Tantalus

to jump on him. Romeo ties Jaguar up as they brawl around the ringside area,
giving The Legacy enough numbers to beat Tantalus into the ground. They pound
away until Paul Epton, John Wolfe and Mike Troha rush out to break it up, but
The Legacy is still up by one man and winning a lopsided battle. The crowd's
boos flow throughout the area as Eminem's "Lose
Yourself" mysteriously begins to play, but it is no mystery as Rudy
Montenora appears in the flesh at the top of the stage!
Montenora
rips off his previously buttoned-up shirt and slides into the ring. Most of The
Legacy battles with Troha, Wolfe and Epton out of the ring, but Giles is left inside along with Justin Schenck. Giles tries to
clothesline Monternora, but he ducks under it and
nails Giles with a Superkick that sends him flying
through the ropes and out of the ring! Schenck tries to run, but Montenora

stands over the motionless Michelle and rips off her referee's shirt before
putting it on himself and raising Tantalus' arm as "Heaven's A Lie"
plays again.
