Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
In the Beginning
Details: As the feed kicked in for the start of Trauma, many people were confused, yet happy, for Kyle Cross, the man who was recently suspended and stripped of his World Championship, was seen sitting in the front row. The same spot he would sit at if we was participating on the card or not. We then turned our attention to the broadcast booth as commentators Jerry Andrews and Michael Hunt declared that they had no idea why Cross was in the crowd tonight since he was suspended. They also announced that "The Captain" will be revealing the order of the Gauntlet Match for the North American Championship after the drawing later on tonight.
Match One: Singles Match
Maverick Stone vs. Aeris Almasy
Referee: Tim Jones
Match Details: The first match-up of the evening sees Maverick Stone pitted against 'Nature's Beauty' Aeris Almasy. Both of these stars of the PCW roster been had making quite the splash here recently, and both of them came into this match riding high on a wave of confidence. This being the first match of the evening, the bar was set high as both stars tore into each other, neither one giving the other one a chance to catch their respective breaths. From Maverick Stone, the focus of the match was his wrestling game. Knowing he had the strength advantage, he went with it. Throughout the match, though, he had quite a bit of difficulty pinning down the lighter, quicker Aeris. An offensive flurry here and there, Aeris was more content to play the hit-and-run game, throwing in chops, kicks and punches all over the ring. However, it was not enough to stay Maverick Stone, as he began to work on the neck of Aeris, catching her with a drop neck-breaker after ducking a clothesline to ground the fire brand. Working the neck over as he shows his collegiate wrestling skills, Aeris continues to fight against Stone's attacks but to no avail, as Maverick Stone locks in his Inverted STF, forcing Aeris to submit at 8 minutes, 27 seconds.
Winner
Match Two: Singles Match
"The Onslaught Assassin" Benjamin Banks vs. Sean Hunter
Referee: Roberto Garcia
Match Details: Just as Maverick Stone had did a match prior, Sean Hunter was looking for a way to impress the crowd and himself, knowing he has a very important match less than a week away at Return to Glory- possibly HIS return to glory as a dominate champion. Benjamin Banks has been on somewhat of a hot streak as of late, and is looking to carry on with a win here tonight, helping him carry his momentum into the Pay-Per-View for his match for the Tag Titles. The match began with Sean mouthing off to the rookie Banks at the offset of the match, even slapping him in the head a few times. Many of the fans in the audience laughed at the way Sean was mocking and toying with Banks, but that stopped as soon as Banks charged after him and knocked him down with a spear type move. The next couple of minutes featured Sean dominating the match with the rookie competing and giving his heart and soul trying to turn the tides of it. But he was never able to, and, moments later, Sean picked up the win following a Decapitator at the 11 minutes and 15 second mark, and then a three count later, Sean was declared the winner.
Winner
During the Commercial Break...
Details: Jumping from the out behind the barricade as Sean's hand was being raised following his match, Maverick Stone jumped into the ring and started attacking Sean Hunter. He laid the boots into him for a good few minutes before referees and officials rushed the ring to separate the two. The fans jeered Stone for his actions, and he could be heard screaming out, "I'm rich," and, "My skills are far more superior than Hunt's!" As referees and officials forced Stone into a corner and was restraining him, Sean Hunt had gotten up to his feet and dove right at the sea of zebra shirts and, in particular, Maverick Stone. He pounded on Stone as much as he could for a few, until the officials and refs had them separated one again- this time for good.
Match Three: Singles Match
Slash vs. Mirage
Referee: Eddie Lane
Match Details: From the opening bell of this match, it was clear that this would be yet another great inter-gender match between Slash and Mirage on the Trauma card. The action was non-stop in this match, as both Slash and Mirage put on a fantastic show, wowing the crowd with some great back and forth action. Things, however, began to take a turn for the worse as Slash nailed Mirage with a breath-taking aerial clothesline, letting Mirage and the ring mat meet. Taking this opportunity, Slash slid to the arena floor and grabbed a steel chair, no doubt planning on ending this match once and for all. Sliding into the ring, Slash placed Mirage in the corner and intended on destroying her with a well-placed chair shot. Thankfully, Eddie Lane stepped in and began to wrestle the chair away from Slash. Mirage, seeing this as her chance, dropped to her knees and hit a vicious low blow, all away from the referee's eyes. Hooking the neck, Mirage scaled the corner-post and spun, hitting a trademarked Dudley Dog on Slash. Eddie Lane, sticking to his moniker as 'Fast Count', dropped to the mat for a suspiciously quick pinfall, ending the match at 11 minutes and 39 seconds. Always the ladies' man, Eddie is.
Winner
Wanna Play Some Ping-Pong?
Details: After the Mirage-Slash match, the PCW-Tron became active as PCW President "The Captain" Alejandro Walker, decked out in his usual khaki shorts, sandals, and blue Hawaiian shirt, is seen in his office [and you know it's his office because of the fake palm trees and sand in the background] standing over a wheel that looks like it is used to call out bingo numbers. It's empty right now, but a moment later, it is filled, as the newest PCW Superstar, Chrissy Johnson, who had been ordered to be the person drawing the ping-pong calls out for the placement for the North American Championship Gauntlet Match. After being asked by "The Captain" to, "dump the balls out of [her] hands", which got a roar of laughter from the crowd, he told her that following the LoKi-Havik match that was next, he'd be ready for the drawing. She reminded "The Captain" that she's only in the PCW as a favor to "The Icemann". His response- "Ah well. Wanna play some ping-pong?" The mere thought seemed to disgust Chrissy, because, following his statement, she made the ugliest face in the World.
Match Four: Singles Match
LoKi vs. Havik
Referee: Travis Wilson
Match Details: With Sean Hunter, Slash, and Maverick Stone already showcasing their talent off earlier in the evening, it came down to the last two men in the North American Gauntlet Match to showcase theirs. And what better way to do it by defeating one of the men in the match with you? That was the mindset both of these men took into for their match here tonight. Havik has not been seen or heard from since his defeat by Kyle Cross roughly three weeks ago. LoKi hasn't been seen since his lost to The Prophet on the Trauma following Revival. They kicked off their PCW return match by both men charging and nailing eachother. This match was not going to be any ordinary wrestling match as it turned out to be a brawl all the way through. Havik held the upperhand first, as, after throwing LoKi out of the ring, he slammed him into the ringpost and then slammed him into the barricade, just a few feet away from where Kyle Cross, the man who Havik had felt defeat from just a few weeks earlier. Jerry Andrews made a remark on how Havik came so close to beating the World Champion, resulting in Mr. Walker's decision to give him the opportunity for the North American Championship as he did. LoKi was able to fight back from the onslaught on the outside after he smashed Havik's mask-protected face into the steel ringsteps. That's pretty much the way the match went. Back and forth. Back and forth. But, around the 13 minute mark, LoKi nailed the move that changed the match- he hit Havik with a Diamond Cutter he likes to call the Ragnarok. Havik wasn't able to battle back and by the 15 minute mark, and after an Apocalypse Now, LoKi was rewarded the win via pinfall.
Winner
Gauntlet Order of Entry
Details: Just as "The Captain" promised, the drawing for the North American Championship 5 Person Gauntlet Match was about to start following the LoKi-Havik Match. The PCW-Tron had lit up and we had "The Captain" spinning the wheel. He stopped abruptly and had Chrissy dig into the bowl. Here is the order she picked out:
1. Sean Hunter
2. Slash
3. Maverick Stone
4. LoKi
5. Havik
After all five spots were announced, "The Captain" was confused as one ball remained in the bingo machine. Chrissy eagerly offered to take it out and read it, and, after Alejandro Walker obliged, she dug in and, acting surprised, found out her name was on the name of the last ball. "The Captain" looked at her suspiciously and demanded answers, which she obliged to. Her answer being that "The Icemann" did indeed offer her a sixth and final spot in the Gauntlet Match. He bended the rules just a bit because of her "excellence in and out of the ring." "The Captain" had a bit of outrage on his face, but he knew, there was nothing he could do about it.
Before the Match...
Details: Josh McKylan came out to the ring with a mic and began to talk. He said that his partner for Return to Glory, The Painted Assassin, was injured by Sexay Jay and Tony Brass last week and now he has two broken legs. It is uncertain whether TPA would be back in the ring ever again. Josh told us he had the option of either choosing another partner or vacating the titles. He said he choose neither, and instead, decided to go into Return to Glory solo.
Match Five: Non-Title Four Way Elimination Match
Josh McKylan {Tag Team Champion} vs. Sexay Jay vs. Ace Anderson vs. "Pure Class" Tony Brass
Referee: Tyrone Little
Match Details: After Josh said what he had to say, the participants in the match were announced. Josh's head clearly wasn't into the match because, after only three minutes of action, he was eliminated by Sexay Jay after a Sexay Crunch. Jay laughed it over and laughed ever more when it became evident that Tony Brass and himself had an opportunity to work on one of their opponents for Return to Glory. And that's just what they did. For the next 8 minutes, Jay and Brass worked over the rookie Ace Anderson, allowing him only spurts of offense. But, when it was looking like Ace Anderson was out, and Sexay Jay turned his back towards his partner, and, this being an elimination match, Tony Brass capitalized by catching Jay in a quick roll-up and eliminated him. Jay got up rather angry and started shouting at Brass, even pushing him. Brass reminded Jay that this was a match, but Jay didn't seem to happen Tony had eliminated him. They went at it for a few more minutes, shouting at one another, but, just as Tony had done to Jay, Brass had done to Ace. Brass had turned his back on his opponent and Ace capitalized with a school boy. Sexay Jay could have broken up the count, but didn't, allowing Ace Anderson to pull off an upset victory.
Winner
After the match...
Details: Sexay Jay and Brass argued a bit more, but, stopped after noticing Ace Anderson was about to leave the ring. They quickly rushed him, but before they could do any damage, Ace's tag team partner Benjamin Banks, who came out on the losing end against Sean Hunter earlier in the night, came running down to ringside. The four men began to brawl. But then Josh McKylan came running down to the ring, climbed up the top rope, and then dove off of it with a cross body, knocking all four men down to the mat Jay and Brass then rolled out the ring. McKylan looked on at them and then at Ace and Benjamin, who were just now stirring, as the feed cut to commercial.
Match Six: Non-Title Tag Team Match
Landon Divine {World Champion} & The Prophet vs. Pegasus {International Champion} & Slither
Referee: Richard Stevens
Match Details: The match pitting the World Champion and The Prophet against the International Champion and Slither was one match fans looked forward to all night. During this match, it was announced Prophet and Pegasus will indeed meet at Return to Glory, and Pegasus's North American Championship was going to be on the line. And it was already documented that Slither was going to be getting his chance to...err...return to glory as he faced Landon for the World Championship. After the ring introductions, Prophet and Slither started off the match. While Landon went to the ring apron, his eyes never left Kyle Cross. Infact, the entire time he was standing on the apron, his eyes never left Kyle Cross. But back to the match. Slither exchanged blows with The Prophet for a few seconds, but that was it, as Pegasus, from out of nowhere, charged the ring and speared The Prophet. Prophet rolled out of the ring and started walking up the entrance aisle, but Pegasus followed him. The two then disappeared into the back. And this was all in the first three minutes of the match!!! The referee refused to let the match end on that note and declared Landon and Slither the legal men for both teams. We were getting a glimpse at the Main Event for Return to Glory. Both these men went at it for a better part of 8 minutes, but, when Referee Richard Stevens was knocked down by after Landon "accidentally" pulled him into a clothesline by Slither, the match went to all hell. Landon capitalized with a low blow and then went outside the ring and grabbed a chair. Similar to what he did when Slither faced off against Kyle Cross a few weeks ago, Landon nailed Slither squarely on the back with the chair and then rolled it out of the ring as Referee Stevens was regaining composure. He then pinned Slither as the marked chimed in on 11 minute mark.
Winner
After the match
Details: After the match Landon grabbed his World Championship and raised it high in the air, standing directly over Slither and staring at Kyle Cross. But, unexpectedly, T.I.'s "Rubber Band Man" began to play, which only met one thing- Alejandro Walker was coming to the ring! But he wasn't, instead, he stopped at the top of the entrance ramp with microphone in hand. Here's what he had to say:
"Landon...I just wants to let you know...because of documentation signed in the wrong place...the order for Kyle Cross to be suspended is now VOID! And, though I can't do anything about the decision to strip him for the World Title, I can do something abouts your match at Return to Glory. After seeing what I had just seen, I have now decided that Kyle Cross will be the special referee during your match!"
And with that, Trauma went off the air, with Landon holding the belt high, but with a look of confused terror on his face. Before the feed completely went off the air, a quick glimpse of Kyle smiling, still sitting in the front row with the fans, was seen.
