U.S. BANK ARENA

CINCINATTI, OHIO

SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:

A video package airs, highlighting events that concluded last week's broadcast, with Greg Tantalus pinning Jaguar to give Tantalus, Mike Griffin, and Lauren Tantalus a three-on-three mixed tag team victory over Jaguar, Scythe, and Camieko, focusing on the miscue between Jaguar and his Walking Wounded opponent, the PWA Champion Scythe, that led to the defeat.  From there, Linkin Park's "By_Myslf" hits and we are sent inside the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, where an amazing fireworks display ensues and we are sent to our commentators Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara at ringside.

Troy:  Hello everyone and welcome to PWA Frequency!  I'm Victor Troy, along here with Paul Ferrara, and we have a hot show for you here tonight in Cincinnati!

Ferrara:  That's right, Troy!  Tonight, Jaguar and Scythe will have a face-to-face confrontation in the ring and, in our main event, GI Jew teams with Justice to meet the Walter Gindin team of Solomon and Tony Annetta!

Troy:  Plus much, much more!  But Paul, we're not wasting any time tonight!  Let's get right down to ringside!

Ferrara:  Now you're talking!

SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1: THE OMEGA STEVE BEOVICH VS. GREG PRICE OF THE NATURALS:
Referee: Jason Church

As we are sent ringside, Tom Petty's "All or Nothin" blares onto the speakers and the crowd erupts into raucous jeers as Greg Price and Kris Anthony, collectively known as The Naturals, make their way out from the backstage area.

Troy:  This is going to be a one-on-one contest here, folks.  Greg Price is coming out to the ring right now to go up against The Omega Steve Beovich, who has not been in the best of moods lately.

Ferrara:  Well, how would you feel if your best friend turned on you?  But even so, Troy, Beovich's state of mind regardless, he's gonna have a tall order competing with Greg Price in the ring and Kris Anthony on the outside.

Price gets into the ring and stretches out, awaiting his opposition.  Moments later, White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" blasts over the speakers and the fans cheer loudly for The Omega Steve Beovich as he makes his way ringside.  Beovich quickly gets into the ring and Price wastes no time, immediately stomping him and prompting referee Jason Church to ring the bell and start the match.

Price has the advantage in the early going, keeping the Omega grounded with furious and rabid stomps.  When Beovich finally does get to his feet, Price whips him into the ropes and follows him in with a big clothesline.  Beovich stumbles forward slightly, and Price grabs him for a suplex.  However, Beovich blocks the suplex, and responds with a big suplex of his own!  The fans cheer, and as Price gets up, Beovich downs him with a big clothesline!  Price gets up again, but the Omega brings him right back down with a hiptoss!  Price then gets up again and charges at Beovich, but the Omega sidesteps him and lets Price fly over the top and to the arena floor!

Troy:  Beovich is on fire!

Ferrara:  And Greg Price is in trouble!

Beovich follows Price to the outside and looks to continue the attack, but Kris Anthony downs Beovich with a big forearm to the back of the head!  Anthony sneaks away, thinking the referee didn't see him, but he did!  Jason Church yells at Anthony, who swears he did nothing, but the referee doesn't buy it and demands that Kris Anthony return to the backstage area!

Troy:  Yeah!  Good call ref!

Ferrara:  I don't get it Troy, I didn't see Kris Anthony do anything.

Troy:  You wouldn't.

The fans cheer wildly at this announcement and the match resumes as both Beovich and Price return to the ring.  A slugfest ensues, and Price comes out on the winning end of it.  Dazing Beovich into a corner, Price whips the Omega into the ropes, and downs him with a big powerslam as he returns!  With Beovich down, Price goes for his Boston Crab!  Price attempts to sink it in, but Beovich counters out, using his leg strength to flip Price off!  Beovich then gets to his feet, catching a rising Price with a double-leg takedown!  The fans then come to their feet, knowing what's next.  Beovich scales the top rope and dives off with Extreme Precision, nailing Price right into the center of the ring!  Beovich hooks the leg and the crowd counts along... one, two, three!

Troy:  Yes!  What a victory!

Ferrara:  I'll give him that, Troy.  It was impressive.

The fans cheer loudly as "More Human Than Human" blasts onto the speakers and The Omega Steve Beovich is announced the winner of this match.  However, he is not allowed to celebrate his victory for long, as Jon Dulberg sneaks into the ring and nails Beovich from behind!  Dulberg commences a brutal beatdown on Beovich, sending him a message for Walking Wounded in 18 days, and the fans don't like it one bit.  "Come With Me" then hits the speakers as Dulberg stands over a fallen Beovich and we take our first commercial break.

SEGMENT 3: BACKSTAGE:
The camera rushes backstage to follow Greg Price and Kris Anthony as they return from the ring. They are walking towards their dressing room, and Price is holding his head in frustration. Once they enter the dressing room, Price grabs a towel and rubs his face with it, and in a moment of anger, tosses it to the side.

Price: Damn it! Kris, do you know how pathetic we look right now?! It’s bad enough that I lost to that pansy Beovich, but we haven’t had a win since Everlasting Epic 3!

Anthony: Yeah, between this match and the two losses to Dawkins and Baccaro, we haven’t won a match in front of our fans for a while. (The crowd boos vehemently.)

Price: This isn’t what we came to the PWA for! We came here to dominate the competition and rise above everyone else!

Anthony: You’re right, and to start, we need to get some victories here.

Price: Then there’s no need for concern, because The Naturals can and will turn things around here.

Anthony: ...Naturally.

SEGMENT 4: RINGSIDE:

Back at ringside, "Have You Ever Felt" by Ill Nino overtakes the speakers and the trio of Hollywood Mike Griffin, Smooth Greg Tantalus, and Lauren Tantalus makes its way to the ring, met with a large chorus of jeers.  Griffin grabs a microphone and they all head into the ring with something to say.

Griffin:  The TFU train just keeps on rolling, doesn't it?  I mean, I didn't think it could get much better after Greg and Lauren put Vulture down and out for good at Everlasting Epic, but last week, it did.  In a mixed tag team match,. the three of us defeated the World Champion, the Women's Champion, and a three-time former PWA World Champion.  In my eyes, that makes us undisputed number one contenders to the Tag Team Championship.

Tantalus:  It's true.  All of the tag teams bumbling around the PWA now are a joke.  TFU is one of the all-time great teams.  This past week, Hollywood and I sat down and decided that we would save the division, as we have done many times in the past.  So, Paul Dawkins and Jackie Baccaro, you can consider this an official challenge.

It doesn't take the champions long to respond as, mere moments after Tantalus completes the sentence, "Black" by Sevendust explodes onto the speakers.  Dawkins and Baccaro start down the aisle, grabbing a microphone and heading into the ring, the crowd solidly behind them.

Baccaro:  You know, I should have known it would only be a matter of time before you two clowns came our way.  And to be perfectly honest, I've been really looking forward to this day.  First of all, let me give all three of you a little history lesson.  Four years ago, I was a young kid with no direction, not sure what I wanted to do with my life.  But then, there was one man who changed all that.  He got me into the business, trained me to be a wrestler, and even got me a PWA developmental deal some 18 months ago.  That man... was Vulture.  In fact, a few weeks ago, I inducted him into the Hall of Fame.  And then, Lauren, the very next night, you betrayed him, and it made me sick.  Now, I haven't talked to him since that night, nobody has.  He's recovering from neck surgery and won't take any phone calls.  Given what happened, I wouldn't either in his situation.  But, as for the three of you pieces of scum, it'll be my pleasure to personally snap you in half and get the guy who mentored me just a little piece of revenge.

Dawkins:  In case you all missed it, that means your answer is yes, we accept your challenge.  We've beaten you guys befopre.  And we're gonna beat you again... right here, right now!

The fans cheer wildly as the teams prepare to brawl, until Commissioner Kerry Cox comes storming out from behind the curtain.

Cox:  Whoa!  Whoa!  Whoa!  Guys!  Listen, if you want there to be a title match, I'll make it happen.  But not tonight.  Not now.  This match will happen... and it will happen September 25 at Walking Wounded!

Troy:  Whoa!  That's huge!

Ferrara:  It sure is, Troy!  What a tag team title match, September 25 at Walking Wounded in San Diego!

Cox then exits as "War Machine" hits, leaving the teams to stare each other down as we take a commercial break.

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: LIZ RUSH VS. JADE VS. DEE LICIOUS VS. LAUREN TANTALUS:
Referee: Dan Martin

As we return from commercial break, VAST's "Free" is playing over the speakers and Lauren Tantalus is standing in the ring, having never left from the promo that took place several minutes ago.  Lauren stretches out on the ropes as "B R Right" hits the speakers and Dee Licious makes her way to the ring to a chorus of boos, ready for her first wrestling appearance on television in quite some time.  Dee steps into the ring and stares down Lauren, but moments later, "Thick Skin" by Joydrop hits and Liz Rush makes her way out, also followed by an array of jeers.  As the three women take verbal jabs at each other in the ring, "Zerospace" by Kidneytheives, and the fans boo even louder as Walter Gindin leads Jade down to the squared circle.  Once all four are in the ring, the boos of the crowd continue and the bell sounds.

Troy:  This is certainly an interesting matchup, Paul.  The fans don't like any of these four women standing in the ring, yet they are forced to watch them all battle it out.

Ferrara:  Well, whether the fans like them or not, these are the top four contenders to Camieko's Women's Championship, and the winner of this match will be deemed number one contender to that title.  This is a match that absolutely must happen.

Chaos erupts from the start of the match, with Lauren battling it out with Liz Rush, and Jade and Dee Licious, two old rivals, doing the same on the other side of the ring.  Lauren establishes the biggest initial advantage, having her way with the smaller PWA rookie Rush, and keeping her cornered.  Meanwhile, Jade and Dee erupt into a violent slugfest, tapping into the hatred they had for one another during their Women's Championship feud in late 2002.

The action between Jade and Dee soon spills outside the contents of the ring, leaving Lauren and Liz in the squared circle to fight it out.  On the outside, Dee looks to hit Jade with the Tease, but Jade sees it coming and instead whips Dee hard into the barricade, dazing her.  Then, as Dee stumbles forward, Jade nails her with a furious Side Effect on the outside of the ring!

Troy:  That's it, Dee is down and out!

Ferrara:  Troy, I think we've seen the last of Dee in this one!

Jade leaves Dee motionless on the arena floor and heads back into the ring, assisting her ally Liz Rush in attacking former two-time champion Lauren Tantalus.  Despite Lauren's efforts, the two are able to double clothesline Lauren over the top and out of the ring.  They then slap hands in the ring and Jade takes a moment to pose in front of the crowd.  However, in the midst of this, Liz rolls Jade up from behind!  One, two, and three!  Liz Rush wins it!

Troy:  I don't believe it!  Liz Rush has won this thing out of absolutely nowhere!

Ferrara:  That's not fair, Troy!  Jade wasn't looking!

The fans actually begin to cheer loudly for Liz Rush after the sudden victory, and as "Thick Skin" blares onto the speakers, Jade pounds the mat in frustration!  Playing her cards right, Liz Rush doesn't wait around for Jade's reaction, instead fleeing the ring and darting to the backstage area.  Jade, meanwhile, kicks the ring ropes in frustration as Walter Gindin tries to calm her down and we take a commercial break.

SEGMENT 6: BACKSTAGE:

A camera cuts backstage where Justice and Speed Demon are conversing when GI Jew enters the room, igniting a big reaction from the fans in the arena.

Justice: What up man, you ready for this match soon?

Jew: Ready? I'm jacked man. Solomon put three Deep Freezes on me last week. Tonight, payback is gonna be a bitch.

Demon: I hope you guys get the job done. I've gotta go out there in a second to take the number one contendership for the International Title.

Justice: You've got this man. Get it done.

"Smash Sumthin" by Redman and Adam F. plays meekly inside the room, but booms through the arena for Infernus' entrance. Demon nods to Justice and GI Jew before headingout the door for the ring.

SEGMENT 7: MATCH 3: SPEED DEMON VS. INFERNUS:
Referee: Matt Hansen

The random chatter of the crowd is overtaken by 50 Cent’s “Da Repercussions” as International Champion Mike Grieco steps out onto the ramp. He raises his arms for his less than adoring fans before walking down the ramp and heading to the commentator’s booth. Grieco sits down and puts on the headset.

Ferrara: Hey, it’s a pleasure to have the International Champ join us!

Grieco: The pleasure’s all yours, guys.

Troy: The match coming up will be between Speed Demon and Infernus, and the winner will challenge you for your belt at Walking Wounded. Can I assume that you’re here to see your competition?

Grieco: Well, I’m just here to watch the show... uh... Who are you?

Troy: Victor.

Ferrara: Troy.

Grieco: ... Anyway, it doesn’t matter who wins this match, ‘cause I’ll stomp ‘em at Walking Wounded.

“Smash Sumthin” by Redman and Adam F. suddenly plays, and out marches Infernus. He is being accompanied by Walter Gindin, and this only serves to fuel the crowd’s hatred. They pour jeers in large amounts on Infernus as he rolls into the ring and Gindin stands on the outside.

Grieco: The crowd sure doesn’t sound like they like this guy.

Troy: You got this same reception!

Ferrara: The International Champ’s reception was nothing like this!

The audience immediately bursts into cheers when “Want” by The Cure hits. Speed Demon arrives to a decent ovation from the Cincinnati crowd. Upon reaching the foot of the ramp, he climbs into the ring and stares across the ring at Infernus.

Troy: Here we go, the battle for the number one contendership to the International Championship!

Grieco: And the eventual beating I’ll give to whoever wins this match.

Infernus and Demon waste no time by locking up hard after briefly circling the ring. Infernus is quick enough to slip out and lock Demon’s arm behind his back. Infernus wrenches on the arm, then shoves Demon into the corner. Demon hits it hard and wobbles back into a neckbreaker that sends him crashing into the mat. Gindin claps on the outside while Infernus drops an elbow into Demon’s stomach. He goes for the early pin, but Demon kicks out at a one.

Grieco: If I were in there, this match would already be over.

Ferrara: You said it, champ.

Infernus lifts Demon up and drives a few fists in his back to keep him weakened. Infernus forms a tight grip around Demon. In an instant, Infernus tosses Demon over his shoulder, and Demon hits the canvas and awkwardly rolls halfway across the ring. Infernus drags Demon off the mat, but Demon breaks free of his grip and sends a flurry of fists into Infernus’ jaw. Infernus attempts to battle back, but Demon blocks it and boots him in the gut, followed by a Bloodbath DDT! The crowd cheers, but both men are down. The referee begins the count and Gindin slaps his hands against the mat.

Speed Demon is the first to rise to his feet. Seeing Infernus down and stirring, Demon patiently waits for Infernus to stand. Once Infernus groggily rises to his feet, Demon starts to rush forward but Gindin grabs his foot and trips him up. Demon lunges for Gindin, but Infernus takes advantage of the opportunity with a back body drop. As Demon writhes on the mat, referee Matt Hansen reprimands Gindin. Infernus peels Demon off the mat and latches on behind him. The referee turns back to the match, but Infernus launches Demon with a release german suplex, causing Demon to collide into Hansen! They both crumple to the mat, and Infernus realizes that it’s futile to make the cover!

Troy: The ref is down! Infernus is at a loss!

Grieco: The referee just gets in the way sometimes. He should’ve watched where he was going.

Infernus instructs Gindin to grab a chair, but before he can make use of it, Reaper darts down the ramp slides into the ring! He spins an unknowing Infernus around and boots him in the stomach, then proceeds to destroy him with the Passed Judgment piledriver! The crowd roars in approval, and Gindin’s mouth has dropped! With Demon still out, Reaper drags Demon’s prone body onto Infernus and scurries away from the ring and out of sight. The referee slowly comes to and sees the cover. One... Two... Three!

Ferrara: What the hell was that?! Reaper had no business being out here!

Troy: But regardless, Speed Demon wins the match and will challenge Mike Grieco for the International Championship! Mike, what if this happens to you at Walking Wounded?!

He receives no response as an irate Grieco throws the headset down. “Want” plays for the winner of the match and Speed Demon slowly comes to in the ring, unaware of the events that just occurred. He stares up at the Jumbotron as it plays back Reaper’s attack on Infernus. Demon stands to his feet, but his face is plastered with confusion. The scene fades and we are brought to a commercial.
