Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
Show Introduction
Details: The feed opens up with a recap of last week’s, ”Clash for the Championship,” Trauma special. Highlighting the clip are scenes of Skylar stripping Jade of the Genesis Championship after a loss to Destiny Willard and then Skylar doing the same to 2Guys and the PCW Tag Team Championship. Also highlighted is Lantlas, returning to PCW action after retiring a few months back, defeating Bob Diehard in a Gauntlet for the Gold Qualifying Match and then defeating Grimm in the finale of the Gauntlet for the Gold, winning the PCW World Championship in the process. Mixed in-between is references to the debuts of Crazy Boy, Michael Reaper, Jarrod Walls, and Heavy Metal, as well as returns of Loco, Destiny Willard, and Quinn Masters. The last thing we see during the clip is Skylar Marshall smiling and laughing as Grimm loses the PCW Championship.
After the video package ends, we’re greeted to a live shot of the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, and Saliva’s, “Survival of the Sickest” is playing as a massive pyrotechnics display is shown. Once the pyro dies down, Jerry Andrews and Michael “The Man” Williams welcomes the viewers to the show and gives a quick card rundown. Following that, with Mark Long already standing in the ring, the first match is introduced.
Match One: Tag Team Match
“Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth & Pegasus vs. 2Guys
Referee: Steve Shaw
Match Details: This match will feature Pegasus making his first appearance with the PCW since it’s reactivation, and it’ll be teaming with an inexperienced, yet dazzling, rookie in Heavy Metal. Their opponents for the evening were 2Guys, who are fresh of their twelve-second lost to Jarrod Walls and Crazy Boy last week and fresh off them being stripped of their PCW Tag Team Championships.
Heavy Metal makes his entrance, slapping hands with the fans on the way down the aisle. He poses on the turnbuckle, strips off his leather jacket, and executes a backflip. He then shares a quick word with Mark Long, and takes the microphone.
Heavy Metal (In a near-perfect impression of legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer): LLLLLadiesandgentlemen, now entering the arena: Weighing in at two-hundred thirteen pounds, he is a former Tag Team champion, a former International champion, and a former WORLD champion! Some say he is a has-been, but others say he still is and always will be the man, the myth, the LEGEND... THIS. IS. PEEEEEGASUS!
Gone are the gimmicks we grew accustomed to Pegasus having to wear. Gone are the broken-down pyro Pegasus had to endure during his entrances. In their place was Pegasus coming out as a PCW Hall of Famer should- full-blown pyro, custom ring gear, and an entrance that would make Hollywood producers blush.
Pegasus made his elaborate ring entrance, with the crowd wildly cheering him on. He walked over to Jacob and high-fived him as they awaited their opponents. Moments later, 2Guys, now without PCW tag team gold, made their way down the entrance ramp and into the ring. Once down the ramp and inside the ring, the two played rock, paper, scissors to decide which one will start off the match- Menace lost. Starting for the opposing team was Jacob. Once the two non-legal men were outside the ring, the bell was heard and the match got underway.
Opening the match saw the former Tag Team Champion lay into the rookie Heavy Metal, which was much different strategy than what we saw last week. Menace got Roth into his corner, and then he and Jackle made frequent tags for the next minute or two, working Jacob over. But as said, that was only for a minute or two.
With Menace now back in the ring, Jacob started to mount an offense, opening up a vary of quick-paced moves, many of which were dropkicks. At or around the three minute mark, he made the tag to Pegasus and Pegasus came in and worked on Menace who was in the corner. After hitting Menace with ten mounted punches, Menace fell out of the corner and onto the mat. Pegasus repositioned him and then mounted the top turnbuckle pad.
Pegasus looked out into the crowd, and they knew what they were going to get. Moments later, Pegasus leaped off with his Leap of Faith shooting star press finisher. Pegasus stayed on-top of Menace to make the pin. With Pegasus pinning Menace, Jackle tried to run in to make the save.
Unfortunately for him, Heavy Metal came rushing in and dropkicked him out of the ring. As Referee Steve Shaw made it to two, Roth springboarded himself over the top rope and landed on Jackle on the outside. Shaw’s hand then made it down for the three and Pegasus and Jacob Roth were victorious in the match, securing the victory at six minutes and seven seconds.
Winner
Match Two: Singles Match
Jarrod Walls vs. Michael Reaper
Referee: Travis Wilson
Match Details: The second match of the night pitted the rookie giant Michael Reaper against another PCW Rookie who made a big impact last week in the Gauntlet for the Gold Match, Jarrod Walls. Michael was introduced first, and received a mixture of cheers and jeers; the majority was cheers though. After he was introduced, Jarrod Walls came walking out, and he received a large amount of boos, probably stemming from his cheap shot onto Crazy Boy last week, which saw Crazy Boy eliminated from gauntlet contention.
After the two were announced and both were in the ring, the bell was sounded and the match officially got underway. Jarrod initially tried striking down the big man with a fury of blows, but when that didn’t work, he decided to use some speed tactics. Jarrod bounced off the ropes and tried to come off with a clothesline, but that barely fazed Reaper. He bounced off the rope a second time, and he was met with just about the same outcome- it simply made Reaper flinch and nothing more. Jarrod tried for a third time, and this time, Michael Reaper stuck out a boot.
Jarrod ducked under the boot and went and bounced off the other ropes. As he came back, Reaper swung a clothesline at him, but Jarrod ducked under that too and then again bounced off the ropes. This time when Jarrod comes flying back he attempts a flying crossbody, thinking that maybe it’ll knock the big man off his feet. Instead, what happens is Michael catches Jarrod. He walks around the ring for a moment, and then throws Jarrod up catches him in a Gorilla Press Slam position. In that position, he hoist Jarrod up and tosses him unceremoniously onto the outside of the ring.
After hitting the floor, Referee Travis Wilson begins the mandatory ten-count. Michael tries to get out the ring, but T-Dub convinces him to stay inside. At five, Jarrod got back onto his feet, but instead of going into the ring, while holding the back of his head, he began walking up the ramp and towards the back. The fans went livid with jeers, but Jarrod waved them off and continued to walk towards the entrance curtain to exit ringside.
When Jarrod reached the top of the entrance ramp, Travis Wilson made it to ten, and then signaled for the bell. Michael Reaper was awarded the match at the five minute and eighteen second mark.

A Blast From The Past Gives Out A Warning
Details: (The PCW-Tron sprang onto life following the conclusion of the match between Jarrod Smith and Michael Reaper. On it, you can see Lantlas is walking toward the ring before his World Championship match against Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith. However, before he can make it to the curtain, he is stopped by an old friend.)
Ace Anderson: Lantlas, what’s going on? Is Skylar pulling strings for you? You don’t need him to be the champion, what’s gotten into you?
Lantlas: What are you talking about? I’m not working for anybody.
Ace Anderson: It sure does appear that way. Listen, don’t let him corrupt you.
Lantlas: I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Lantlas attempts to walk away from Ace, but Ace grabs him by the arm.
Ace Anderson: Listen, Lantlas, be careful who you trust. They could turn their back on you at any time, just ... be careful. Skylar is only using you as a pawn in his big, twisted chess game.
(Lantlas breaks free of Ace’s grasp.)
Lantlas: Thanks for the advice.
(As the feed fades into a commercial, Lantlas walks away from Ace, leaving him standing in his spot, dumbfounded.)
Match Three: World Championship Match
Lantlas (c) vs. Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith
Referee: Richard Stevens
Match Details: Following the commercial break, Lantlas comes out to his usual pop, while Crazy Boys comes down to the ring to a mixture of cheers, jeers, and downright boos. It seems like the fans’ view on him is not quite set in stone. He appears likable enough, but to cheer him over their World Champion would be ludicrous.
The two circle the ring, Lantlas looking like he almost has the jitters, even though he has done this forty times already. They two begin the match in a tie-up, with Lantlas clearly sporting a size advantage over the much smaller one dubbed Crazy. Lantlas gives Smith a toss, and Crazy Boy finds himself hugging the ropes on the other side of the ring.
Smith shakes the cobwebs, gets up, and makes his way over the center of the ring to meet the behemoth of a World Champion once more. They get into a tie-up once more, but before Lantlas can throw Crazy Boy, the rookie breaks the tie-up, gets Lantlas in a side headlock, and then quickly switches around into a hammerlock. A good technical display draws a bit of applause from the crowd.
Lantlas swipes at his own shoulder as if to brush away the pain, and he then reverses then hammerlock into one of his own. Lantlas brings his arm under Crazy Boy’s in a half nelson, while still holding in the hammerlock, and hits the unsuspecting Crazy Boy with a near perfectly executed half nelson suplex. The Elven Warrior quickly goes for the pin, but Crazy Boy manages to get his shoulder up at two.
Lantlas is right back to his feet, not wasting any time, and he picks Crazy Boy up with him, pulling him by the ear piercing, so that Smith is completely at his mercy. Lantlas grabs Crazy Boy by the wrist and irish whips him into the ropes. After Crazy Boy bounces off of the ropes, Lantlas meets him with a throat thrust in the middle of the ring, which sends Crazy Boy rolling out to the floor, grasping his throat.
Lantlas appeals to the crowd a little, raising his arms, and they respond with a cheer. Crazy Boy traipses around the ring, holding his throat, trying to gain back his wind. He slides into the opposite side of the ring, where Lantlas has his back turned, still interacting with the crowd.
Not like Lantlas to make such a rookie mistake, but Crazy Boy, like anyone else, capitalizes on the situation. He runs up beside Lantlas and hits him with a Russian Leg Sweep, surprising the big man. Lantlas rolls over onto his stomach, and Crazy Boy locks in an armbar. Lantlas cries out in pain, and is only about a foot from grasping the ropes. Lantlas reaches out, stretching his fingers seemingly beyond his limits, but he isn’t quite there. The crowd begins to get behind their champ, and with this added momentum, Lantlas reaches out and grabs the ropes. Richard Stevens tells Crazy Boy to break the hold, and he obliges. Lantlas’s arm is obviously hurting, and Crazy Boy brings the Blue Wonder to his feet by his hair.
Crazy Boy attempts to whip Lantlas into the corner opposite them, but Lantlas doesn’t budge. Instead, Lantlas throws Crazy Boy into the corner to his back, right into Richard Stevens! Stevens drops down from the impact, seemingly unconscious. Crazy Boy turns around, and is met with a kick to the gut from Lantlas. Lantlas hoists him up, and hits him with a Flame of the West! Lantlas covers, but there is no referee to make the count.
The crowd counts ... one... two ...three... four, but Richard Stevens is still out cold. Down the ramp comes Eddie Lane, who slides into the ring and makes the quickest count anybody has ever seen- onetwothree! Crazy Boy almost kicks out, but can’t beat the count from ‘Fast Count’ Eddie Lane! Lane calls for the bell, and then hands Lantlas his title, awarding him the victory at the thirteen minute and twenty-eight second mark.
Lantlas rips his hand from Eddie Lane’s as Lane tries to raise Lantlas’s hand. The World Champion gives him an odd look, raises his own hand, and then walks to the back as his music plays and we fade into a commercial break.

Seeing…Double?...Can Be Confusing
Details; (Standing backstage is PCW Interviewer Miguel Malone. Currently, he looks like he has a look of sheer confusion on his face, over his latest assignment. Very lightly, you can hear the playing of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” being heard. Once Malone takes his cue, the mic that is held tightly in his right hand, is raised to be spoken into.)
Miguel Malone: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time…is none other than Des...(he has just looked at her)…tiny Willard.
(Destiny approaches into the camera’s view, dressed EXACTLY like Jade. From the black leather ring attire, to a wig that gets the hair color and length down of Emily’s own. Slung over her right shoulder rests a fake copy of the PCW North American Title. Outside in the arena, you can hear boos mounting, but Destiny shows no signs of giving a care as to her reception.)
Miguel Malone: Um, Destiny. Tonight you face off against the woman you defeated last week in Jade. And her tag partner is someone you know very well, the legendary one himself, Loco. In your corner as your partner is PCW Newcomer, Quinn Masters, whom you yourself have a little history with. But before I ask you what your thoughts are, just what is up with looking like Jade?
(Destiny smirks and kindly takes the device out of Malone’s hand, while pushing him off the set. Looking slowly down at the floor, Destiny seems to be in a sort of trance. Words are not lost however and eventually, are spoken.)
Destiny: Emily, Emily, Emily. Tonight you become me for another round of entertainment for the fans. Your Genesis title was deactivated because of your loss to Destiny Willard. Skylar called you a disgrace. You get the luck of the draw in teaming with Loco, whom is very accomplished himself. But is there any doubt in your mind as to attaining victory?
(Destiny turns herself towards the right side now, looking as if she’s having a conversation orchestrated between Emily Duprae the person and Jade the on-air character.)
Destiny: Well Jade, with my personal life taking a glorious ride with Lantlas, I see no reason that my focus should be shaken. Yes, I did lose last week in an unexpected loss. But this is a new week. A new time. A new round. Destiny caught me by surprise last time, but tonight, she won’t. I’m prepared for her and with Loco as a teammate, someone who KNOWS Destiny, I don’t see a recipe for defeat. Especially since Destiny herself, draws Quinn Masters as a partner. Whom mind you lost last week to MY partner.
(Destiny stands upright now and slowly shakes her head. Slowly, the wig is pulled off to drop her natural brown colored hair down into tiny braids. The fake title that once sat over the shoulder is thrown off the set. Destiny looks to be back to her usual self now, looking dead eyed into the camera.)
Destiny: When the disguise of a character has been exposed, for the same lack of a human being outside this game, the real person can be shown. Jade, Skylar exposed you as a fraudulent champion. I already know that Lantlas is in the same boat with you on that issue. But he is not the competition tonight. YOU are. And while I may still be new to PCW, I’m far from it when it comes to knowing how to win. Make no mistakes about it, after tonight, win or lose, I’m not done with you yet. As for Loco….let’s just say I know his weak points. The fact we’re friends away from the ring, means about as much to me as well…Quinn Masters being a tag team partner. Tonight, like last week…I will be victorious. Despite your high skill level, in the end…the result will match our last encounter. But this time, you’ll be taking someone down with you on that lonely road of defeat…
(And with that, we’re brought to another commercial break.)
Match Four: Tag Team Match
Jade & Loco vs. “The Tragic Princess” Destiny Willard & Quinn Masters
Referee: Tyrone Little
Match Details: Following commercial break, all four competitors are already down at ringside. Destiny, still equipped with her Jade garb, is in the ring taunting Jade, who is on the outside ring apron. Mark Long got on the microphone and announced that he was just given word and that the match at hand would be under mixed tag team rules, which means the men will fight the men and the women would fight the women. It should be noted that this is the first time those rules had been into effect since PCW’s existence.
Unfortunately, that caused nothing but problems. Jade was on the outside of the ring, so Referee Tyrone Little told Destiny-Jade-Willard to go on the outside so the men could start. Destiny refused and Tyrone began to warn her. Hell, even Loco told Destiny to get to the outside, but it was no use. Destiny began to get in Ty’s face, which got to the point where Tyrone signaled for the bell and disqualified Willard and Masters.
Destiny went crazy and attacked the senior referee, scratching and clawing at his face. Loco tried to take her off, but received a low-blow for his efforts. That brought the PCW North American Champion into the ring and she went right at Destiny. Jade grabbed her and speared her to the mat. She began opening up on her with rights and lefts. She then grabbed her up and tossed her to the ropes.
But instead of coming back, she grabbed the ropes to stop herself, and then slide under the bottom rope, out of the ring. She began cussing at Jade and then started pulling her own hair and screaming out-loud, as the feed cut to commercial.
