Back from
break, we are backstage in the office of owner and CEO Kerry Cox, who is with a
smiling F. Anthony Annetta. The two
appear to be hovering over a clipboard.
Cox:
So there it is, FAA, your new contract as a performer here in the
PWA. Go ahead, sign it.
Annetta: Thanks a lot, Kerry. But you can call me Tony now. That was
Cox: I hear you.
Annetta then signs the contract.
Cox:
Welcome back.
Annetta: Glad to be back.
Cox and Annetta shake hands as The Miracle Mike Troha enters the room.
Cox:
Hey! Mike Troha! Just the man I wanted to see.
Troha: I got your message, what’s up?
Cox: Not much, I just wanted to
congratulate you on your win over Jonathan Brett at Everlasting Epic.
Troha: Thanks. Congratulations on your win, too.
Cox: Thanks. That’s actually something I wanted to talk to
you about. I hope there’s no hard
feelings based on the way things played out with your cousin.
Troha: Nah, it’s cool.
Cox: Gotcha. Well, if there’s anything either of you ever
needs, don’t hesitate to let me know.
As he says that, Justin Schenck enters the room,
alongside Darrin Giles and Jonathan Brett.
Schenck:
Does that apply to me too, Kerry?
Cox: Justin, what the hell are you doing
here?
Schenck: Trying to prevent this very
obvious display of favoritism and collusion.
I knew you were unscrupulous, Cox, but I didn’t know I was going to have
to watch out from day one. You’ve
already stuffed poor Dex
Cox: I’ll tell you what’s next. You have a problem? Well, we’re gonna fix that problem. Next week, right here on Frequency, those two
goons you have with you, Giles and Brett, they’re gonna take on these two guys,
Mike Troha and Tony Annetta. If you
really think there’s favoritism going on around here, which is the most
ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard, take it out on them in the ring next week
when you have your chance. Now everybody
out, I want to get ready for the last two matches.
All parties leave the office and Cox shuts the
door, and a heated staredown ensues between Troha and
Annetta and the Legacy members.
Schenck:
See you next week gentlemen.
Annetta: Yes. Next week.
Troha: Be warned, Justin. I’m gunning for your whole damn Legacy. Because when the time is
right…
Annetta and Troha then exit as the Legacy looks on
and we take a break.

The arena goes pitch black as Sepultura's "We
Who Are Not As Others" booms through the PA
system. Within moments, The Army of The Damned arrives onto the scene to a
massive amount of boos, and they look their usual scornful selves as they enter
the ring. The music stops and the lights come up as Bishop Cross grabs a
microphone and begins to speak.
Cross: Save
us your stupid little boos. You people think its funny
that we lost at Everlasting Epic? Fine. We couldn't
care any less about what any of you idiots think. We'll have you know that
Everlasting Epic was in no way the end. In fact, it was merely the beginning.
Loki: That’s right. GI Jew, Speed Demon and
Renegade might have gotten one little win, but we don't care about wins and
losses. We care about destruction and ruining lives, and that is what all three
of those men will be in store of. We have already ruined one, and here to tell
that story is Reaper.
Reaper: Allow me to be the first to tell you all
why Speed Demon is the way he is now. It would have been nice if he did this
himself, but since he's such a mystery man now, allow me to do it for him. The
story I am about to tell is about a girl named Dana Chapman. This was the girl
who infested Demon's mind, and broke up The Lost Souls. She is the reason he is
not standing here with us right now, and the reason he will be destroyed. After
what we did to him and Dana, she suffered a serious dose of amnesia. Speed
Demon recovered first and went to visit her in the hospital, but she remembered
nothing about him or who he was. Her family forbid him from ever seeing her
again, and strongly opposed any ideas of a return to wrestling, since her
stepping in this ring sealed her fate. We took Dana away from Speed Demon
forever, and Speed Demon, we will put you out of your misery!
"Opium
of The People" by Slipknot cuts off anything else from Reaper as GI Jew steps
out with a microphone.
Jew: Enough of this bullshit! Reaper, you know damn
well that Speed Demon isn’t here tonight. You wanna
put his business out here? He'll deal with you. but
what I'm out here for is you, Bishop Cross. I've had enough of the back and
forth, I want you, in that ring right here tonight! (Crowd cheers)
Cross: Then I must apologize to you because I am
not competing against you tonight. None of us are. In fact, I'm not fighting
you at all GI Jew. If you want me, go through Loki first. But do it at Walking
Wounded.
Jew: Fine with me. I'll dissect him in
"Opium
of The People" replays as GI Jew ducks behind the curtain as we head to a
commercial break.

Drain STH's "Simon Says" explodes through
the speakers, and the crowd welcomes Victor Simon to the ring with a rousing
ovation. The newcomer jogs down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans before
rolling inside and hopping on the turnbuckles energetically.
Mozart's
"Marriage of Figaro" plays next, and Dexter P. Wellington and Winston
arrive to a loud set of jeers. The Progressive Champion carries his usual smug
look as he disrobes on the ramp and carries his belt into the ring. He hands it
over to Jose Soares, who holds it high and calls for the bell.

Back from commercial, we are taken to our commentators, Victor Troy and Paul
Ferrara.
Suddenly,
Ferrara: I don’t have him on the
program, Troy, but I’d imagine he has something to say regarding his loss to
Solomon at Everlasting Epic.
Briggs grabs a microphone and heads into the ring.
Briggs:
Solomon, I’ve just got one thing to say.
You know, you and I were having a match for the ages at Everlasting
Epic, but then you had to go and let your agent get involved. I could have dealt with a loss to you if you
had beaten me straight up like a man, but I don’t have respect for the way it
went down. I still feel like we have
unfinished business. That’s why,
Solomon, if you’re a man, you’ll accept the challenge I’m about to put
out. I want you one-on-one, one more
time, September 17 at Walking Wounded. Only this time, no one at ringside. No Infernus, no Walter Gindin, just you and
me, settling the score like two men.
What do you say? I just want you
and me to…
With that, “Hear Me” by Darkseed blasts onto the
speakers, and Solomon appears at the top of the ramp, alongside Walter Gindin.
Gindin:
First of all, Briggs, for you to claim that I cost you the match is
simply inaccurate. You were going to
lose the match regardless. Secondly,
Solomon does not have to comply to ANYTHING that you
say, because…
Gindin cannot continue, however, as Solomon grabs his arm and demands the
microphone. Taken aback, Gindin complies.
Solomon:
No disrespect, Walter, but I want to handle this one myself. Briggs, you say you’re the best big man around
here? Well my win at Everlasting Epic
says otherwise. You want to dispute that
one? Fine. Then you and I will go one-on-one at Walking
Wounded. And I’ll agree to not have
anyone at ringside if you agree to one stipulation.
Briggs: What’s that?
Solomon: Outside of people interfering,
there are NO disqualifications or count-outs.
There MUST be a winner.
Briggs: You’re on.
Briggs and Solomon continue to stare down one
another as we take our last commercial break.

The opening drums of The Notorious B.I.G.'s
"Things Done Changed" hit the sound system and a mixed reaction comes
for the arrival of Vulture and Jackie Baccaro. The fans are excited for the
main event, but disappointed at the sight of the challenger and his manager.
Troy: I still can't believe how Jackie Baccaro
pulled this off, but he's got a huge opportunity here tonight.
The
International Champion walks out onto the stage and throws his arms into the
air as his majestic gold pyro trickles down to the stage behind him. Baccaro
rubs his title belt and smiles widely as he climbs into the ring and poses on
the turnbuckles. Vulture also beams with pride until "Real Big" by DJ
Mannie Fresh takes over and the crowd goes wild for
Jaguar!
Jaguar walks
out to his second immense ovation of the evening and he looks all business as
his flaming fireballs explode behind him on the stage. The Progressive World
Champion carries his belt over his shoulder, and is obviously banged up as he
hobbles his way to the ring with his head bandaged heavily and white athletic
tape creeping from under his right elbow pad as results from his classic Hell In A Cell win.
* PWA
PROGRESSIVE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
JAGUAR © VS. INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO *
Referee:
Tom Stevens
Jaguar walks
up the steps and into the ring before removing his jacket, shades and bandana
and circling around the ring as the bell sounds. They lock up, and Baccaro
delivers an instant knee to the midsection, which sends Jaguar down to a knee
quickly. Baccaro stays relentless and pounds Jaguar in his lower pain, making
the champion yell in agony.
Baccaro then
whips Jaguar to the ropes and downs him with an immense back body drop, causing
Jag to land terribly hard on his spine! at Vulture's
urging, Baccaro pulls up Jaguar's "Carrjack" T-shirt to find his ribs
and back heavily taped up. Wasting no time, Baccaro begins tugging at the tape
until it is finally removed from the champion's body.
Jaguar gets
up and seeks refuge in a corner, but Baccaro charges at him like a bull. He
ducks his head down, but Jaguar lifts his legs up and kicks him square in the
face before taking him down with a running clothesline! Baccaro gets up and
gets another clothesline before rising and walking into a scoop slam. Jaguar
winces from the slam, but quickly hits the ropes to land on him with a twisting
elbow drop! Jaguar covers for one...two...and Baccaro powers out.
Both men get
up and Jaguar kicks Baccaro in the gut before hooking him in a front facelock. He's looking for Version 1.0, but Jaguar cannot
lift him. Baccaro delivers a shot to the back before returning with a long
vertical suplex. Baccaro gets Jaguar off the canvas again and this time, traps
him in a tight bearhug. Looking for his second
submission title victory, Baccaro begins to squeeze for all he's worth!
Tom Stevens
lifts Jaguar's arm once, then twice, but it doesn't fall for a third time.
Jaguar pumps his arms as Baccaro squeezes tighter, but Jaguar finds his escape
by hitting a thumb to the eye! Baccaro is blinded for a bit and swings a wild
right hand that Vulture cringes at. This is because Jaguar ducks under and
lifts Baccaro up onto his shoulders. Baccaro fights wildly and actually kicks
the referee in the face inadvertently, but it does not stop Jaguar from driving
him down with The Carrjack!
Jaguar makes
a cover, but doesn't realize that Stevens is not there to count the fall.
Vulture reacts quickly by grabbing the International Title belt and sliding
into the ring to attempt to hit Jaguar with it, but Jaguar catches him. For the
first time in over a year, Jaguar and Vulture are face-to-face in the middle of
the ring. Vulture backs off before swinging the belt, but Jaguar ducks under it
and tosses him from the ring! Jaguar turns around, but Baccaro recovers enough
to take him out with a desperate clothesline! Both men are down when suddenly
Morgan Day appears at the top of the ramp and makes her way down the ramp to a
set of cheers.
Day slides
into the ring and grabs the International Belt as both combatants begin to
rise. Baccaro reaches his feet slightly ahead of Jaguar, and day swings the
belt at him, before pulling it back in quickly and laying out Jaguar with the
gold to the crowd's shock and horror!
Ferrara: I don't know, but she has just cleaned
Jaguar's clock!
Vulture
reacts with joy as Day slides out of the ring with a look of stone on her face.
Baccaro is still shocked, but quickly lifts Jaguar up and drops him with The
Baccaro Bomb as Vulture revives the official. Stevens groggily makes his way
back over to the two and counts one...two...three!
The bell
rings and boos erupt as "Things Done Changed' replays for the celebration
of the new champion.
Troy: Thanks to Morgan Day, of all people! I'm in
shock! This is disgusting!
With Jaguar
still out cold on the mat, Baccaro and company retreat up the long ramp. They
stops at the top and Vulture and Day each raise an arm of Baccaro's
as the new champion holds up both of his title belts for the crowd to boo them
passionately as Frequency comes to a close.
