Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
Show Introduction
Details: The show opens up with a video highlighting all the battles between Lantlas and Grimm. Spliced into the clip are footage of Ace Anderson beating down both men at various times. At the end of the clip, we see both Grimm and Lantlas sprawled out on the mat, with Ace standing high over them, steel briefcase in hand. The last shot we see is a distorted, red-lens view of Skylar Marshall, laughing and approving of Ace Anderson’s triumph in slow motion.
From the clip, we’re then 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 Glenda Wood already standing in the ring, the first match is introduced.
Match One: North American Championship Tournament Quarter Finals
Singles Match
“The Conformist Killer” Bob Diehard vs. Michael Reaper
Referee: Tim Jones
Match Details: Michael Reaper is sure to be on a mission this week, for he squares off against the man who left him high and dry last week in a Handicap Tag Team Match, and who also happens to have been a thorn in his side his entire wrestling career. What makes the pot even tastier is that advancement in the PCW North American Championship Tournament is on the line- the winner squaring off against the winner of the Finnegan Burke-Heavy Metal match later on tonight in the Semi-Finals next week.
Michael came to the ring first, with marginally more cheers this week than he received in previous weeks. Whether the fans were cheering him on because of who he is, or whether they were cheering him on because of who he is facing, is debatable. Once down the aisle, and into the ring, he stands his place, waiting for his opponent.
The wait wasn’t a long one, and Bob Diehard was introduced moments later. Bobby didn’t take long to get down to ringside, but when he did make it down the aisle, he was very weary in regards of getting inside of the ring. He cautiously walked up the ringsteps and then into the ring via going through the middle and top ropes. Once in the ring, he gets ready, and Tim Jones signals for the bell.
With the bell sounded, Michael and Bob slowly paced around each other, trying to figure out a plan of attack. Out of the blue, Bobby dived in and tried to leg tackle Michael. All that did was get Bobby a clubbing blow to the back by Reaper. That one blow put Reaper in control of the match. He continued working over Bobby with bearhugs, abdominal stretches and various other back stretches. He even wowed the crowd when he was able to put Bobby in a Mexican Surf Board.
However, it just wasn’t in Reaper’s fate to win this match and avenge all the losses he suffered in his career because of The Conformist Killer. But it was no fault of his own. No no. Bobby managed to steal a victory with a low-blow while the referee’s back was turned at the 9 minute and 12 second mark. He capitalized the low-blow with a DDT and then a Lionsault. He stayed on top of Michael following the Lionsault and Referee Tim Jones made the three-count.
Winner
Match Two: Singles Match
“Beyond Greatness” Ace Anderson vs. Loco
Referee: Steve Shaw
Match Details: Ace is coming off of a loss in a Handicap Match against Lantlas, and surely, he will be out looking to take out his frustrations on someone. The man he’ll be trying to take it out against; Loco. Loco can’t be too happy about losing in the first round of the PCW North American Championship Tournament, and as a man who is a legend to some (though, mainly in his own mind), he should definitely be coming out to this match with a chip on his shoulder.
Well, on paper, this upcoming match looked to be one that people could have looked forward to. Unfortunately, for the fans watching both in attendance and at home, and for Loco, this match wouldn’t get to unfold in that manner.
Loco made his entrance first, getting a marginally loud and positive reaction from the crowd. I guess they’re still trying to warm up to him after years of being a hated, hated man. I’m sure facing the now-once-again hated Ace Anderson, the cheers will be pouring in. Once he made his way down the aisle and into the ring, Glenda Wood raised her mic to introduce Ace Anderson, but when she went to speak, no sound was heard.
Miguel Malone immediately came out of the back with a microphone in his hand and began to speak. What he announced was that he was told to come out and announce changes the stipulation of the match. What was suppose to be a Standard Rules Singles Match was now to be a Hardcore Rules Match.
Match Two: Hardcore Match
“Beyond Greatness” Ace Anderson vs. Loco
Referee: Steve Shaw
Match Details: And with that, “Pain Redefined” by Disturb blared throughout the arena and Miguel Malone introduced Ace Anderson. Ace, with a very sadistic-looking grimace on his face, came out with a steel chair in hand. He walked down the aisle with a purpose and when he reached the ring he walked up the ringsteps and then stepped over the top rope. With Ace now in the ring, Referee Steve Shaw signaled for the bell and the match, if you really want to call it that, was officially underway.
Ace went right in and attempted a chair shot to the head of Loco, but Loco dodged it and then began opening up on the former World Champion and the current PCW Hall of Famer. But his offensive assault was only brief, for Ace stopped all momentum Loco could have built with a timely knee to Loco’s gut.
With a now hunched over Loco, Ace used the chair he had in his hand, and smashed it down over the back of Loco. The blow caused Loco to squirm up in pain, and then Ace used the chair like a baseball bat and swung violently at Loco’s chest. The impact of the shot on Loco’s chest dented the chair, but Loco received the worst of the two, for his chest immediately turned a crimson color.
Ace then put the chair down onto the mat and grabbed Loco. What he did next was deliver a brutal Exemplifier. He then casually pinned Loco and was declared the victor at the 4 minute and 27 second mark.
Winner
Match Three: North American Championship Tournament Quarter Finals
No Holds Barred Match
Finnegan “The Irish Phoenix” Burke vs. “Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth
Referee: Travis Wilson
Match Details: Finnegan made quite an impression with his PCW debut just one week ago when he attacked former PCW World Champion and one of the most feared and respected men in all of wrestling, Phinehas Grimm. For his efforts, PCW President Skylar Marshall awarded Finnegan Burke a spot in the PCW North American Championship Tournament, and as per request, made the match a No Holds Barred Match. On the other side of the spectrum we have “Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth, one of the fastest rising stars in PCW history. Both are further trying to further their PCW careers, and a win in this tournament will only mean great things for them to do so.
First to be introduced was Jacob Roth. He received a thunderous ovation, which really seemed to shock him, but when you’re one of the fastest rising superstars in PCW history, you’re bound to get that sort of response. Just ask Rikkin, where ever that dude is at these days.
Once he recovered from his shock, HM made his way down the aisle tossing out some air guitar along the way. After HM got inside the ring, he wasn’t able to pose long, for Finnegan, without even being introduced, blindsided him from behind after jumping the guardrail and into the ring. Referee T-Dub immediately signaled for the bell, and the match was officially underway.
Finnegan took advantage of his blindsiding of Jacob, and continued to level into him with clubbing blows to the back of the neck. He then grabbed him and put him in a vicious shoulder-breaker. He quickly went for the pinfall, but only received a one-count.
For the next couple of minutes, Finnegan used a plethora of usually illegal holds, such as blatant chokes, closed fist, and poking deep inside the eye sockets. Jacob was able to get back into the match for a few moments around the 6 minute mark, but that was only short-felt.
Finnegan looked very impressive in this match, and there was no-doubt that he was moments away from winning. However, that seemed not to be the case, for at the 11 minute or so mark, from out of the back with a shovel in hand is Grimm. He purposely walks down the aisle and when Finnegan notices, he pauses in his tracks and shouts for Grimm to come down to the ring.
But with the brief distraction, Heavy Metal went and rolled The Irish Phoenix up in a school-boy. HM has won the mat…no! Only was a two-count. Finnegan got up and began beating on Jacob some more, taking his eyes off of Grimm. Before he knew what was coming for him, Grimm was in the ring and had nailed Finnegan in the back of the head with the shovel. Two shots with the shovel cause Finnegan to fall straight on his back. Taking the initiative HM drapes an arm over Finnegan. Three mat pounds later, at the 13 minute and 23 second mark, Jacob Roth was declared the winner.
Winner
Overruling the Outcome
Details: Almost as soon as Heavy Metal’s music began, it was immediately changed to, “My Way” by Limp Bizkit. Stepping out from the back, microphone in hand was PCW President Skylar Marshall. Skylar announced that what we just witnessed was a travesty. Last week, the same type of thing happened within the Grimm-Eddie Lane No Holds Barred Match. He tells the official, the audience, and Grimm, who is still in the ring, that they must not know the rules of a No Holds Barred Match.
He then explains that a No Holds Barred Match implies that no wrestling holds could cause a disqualification. However, not once, did he say it was a No Holds Barred, No Disqualification, Hardcore Match. What happened last week is the same that happened this week- a weapon was brought into the ring and used to attack one of the participants. To his knowledge, a weapon attack is not a wrestling hold. Therefore, he is overruling the decision, and Finnegan Burke will be declared the winner and advance in the PCW North American Championship Tournament.
As for Grimm, he promises that he will get what he has coming to him soon enough.
Match Four: Tag Team Match
James Keenan & Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith vs. 2Guys
Referee: Roberto Garcia
Match Details: This week we had an odd pairing with James Keenan teaming up with Tyrone Smith, one of his possible opponents in the PCW North American Championship Match. Of course, they may have the easiest job ever when they square off against PCW’s resident losers, 2Guys.
Menace and Jackle was introduced and entered first, getting a large, positive ovation. For two people who suck as bad as they do, they sure are appreciated by the fans. Introduced next was Tyrone, and the fans are still on the fence about him. Then introduced was his partner for the night James Keenan. James is no stranger in tag team action, for he had been a PCW Tag Team Champion before, but if memory serves me right, this may be his first Tag Team Match since being betrayed by his ICON tag team partner, the former PCW Superstar, Kaden Keene.
Once all four men were in the ring, and the two people who would start the match (Tyrone and Jackle) was settled, the bell was sounded and the match began.
It was an interesting match, for almost as soon as it started, it ended. Within three minutes, Tyrone had demolished Jackle and pinned him after hitting him with a Crazy Slam. It was interesting in the aspect that James did not get tagged in, Menace didn’t even try to break up a pin attempt, and after the match was over, Tyrone barely looked at James and exited the ring on his own.
Winner
Main Event Build Up
Details: The same hype video that was featured at the beginning of the show repeated again and then we went to a commercial break.
Match Five: Steel Cage Match
Lantlas (World Champion) vs. Grimm
Referee: Tyrone Little
Match Details: Easily the most anticipated match of the night, as both men made their way to the ring to showers of cheers, the two competitors stood silent as the structure came down. Four sides around them, sealing them off from the outside world, leaving nothing in store but a world of hurt, regardless of the outcome of the match. The two had met before. They were no strangers on the battlefield of the squared circle. They each had scored victories over the others in the past, but any of those victories meant nothing, each and every time they clashed.
Two animals with gnashing teeth and flaying claws, a showdown for the ages, just as each face-off past, was about to ensue. Tyrone Little called for the bell after the bottom of the cage touched down to the apron, and the match was underway. They didn’t rush right into it. Instead, the two began to circle. To stalk their pray. Neither man made a move, which was rather unorthodox for Grimm, who usually ran in with barrels blazing, part of what made him so hard to defend against. How could Lantlas know what Grimm would do next, if Grimm himself did not know?
The circle began to close, growing smaller with each passing revolution. In a strange development, the two met in a tie-up in the middle of the ring. Those who expected a wrestling match to take place from that point, would be regarded as delirious. Grimm planted his feet but couldn’t help but be overpowered by the Elven Warrior, and Lantlas rained down on his back with vicious forearms. The World Champion grabbed a handful of fire-red hair, and made an attempt to slam the face of Grimm into the cold, unforgiving steel. Grimm managed to stop himself, however, and after a quick elbow to the midsection of Lantlas, managed to mash his Elven nose off of the cage wall. Lantlas hit the mat holding his face, but was up within seconds, his immortal resilience kicking in.
Lantlas shot to his feet and charged the Abomination of Desolation, and in a great display of athleticism, nailed his opponent with a wheel kick. This brought Grimm to the mat, and Lantlas opened up a ground assault, attacking the legs of Grimm. With the match being escape only, if Grimm couldn’t stand, he couldn’t climb, and if he couldn’t climb, he’d be hard pressed to win. Lantlas wrenched the leg grapevine he had applied onto Grimm’s left leg, but with some squirming and a bit of elbow grease, Grimm managed to break free. He got to his feet and charged Lantlas, who was up as well. Lantlas hit Grimm with an arm drag, and Grimm popped right up.
Grimm charged once more, and once again Lantlas hit him with an arm drag. Grimm, with the stubbornness of a swashbuckler, stood up and awaited Lantlas’s charge. Grimm took Lantlas down with a drop toe hold, that sent Lantlas face first into the steel. Grimm then stood up, and decided to try to make his escape. He was starting his way up the cage with Lantlas hot on his tail. Grimm made it up about halfway, and Lantlas reached up and gave him a club to the back. Grimm stopped in his tracks, and Lantlas stepped up onto the bottom rope. He reached up, and turned around, and drove Grimm down into the mat in a giant powerbomb!
Both men were laid out on the mat, Grimm hurting, Lantlas exhausted, neither really stirring. Lantlas was the first to move, and he made an attempt to climb the cage. However, he was moving slow, his face clearly bleeding from colliding with the rungs of the cage. The blood seemed to be interfering with his vision. He couldn’t get his fingers into the holes to pull himself up, but eventually he found himself and began to ascend. Grimm grabbed Lantlas from behind, and threw him to the mat. Grimm planted a couple of boots to the head of Lantlas, and then he started to make his own slow yet steady climb.
Lantlas got to his feet, and Grimm realized that he wouldn’t be able to make it out before he would be acquainted with the mat. So instead, thinking back to the days of the Kill Devil Hills Daredevil, he made a decision. Grimm lept from the cage, turning in the air, catching Lantlas just as he stood straight up. Grimm swung his body around, and in a great effort drove the head of Lantlas into the mat in a very convincing Harvest!
Both men lay unmoving on the mat once again, and this time, Grimm is the first to make a movement, to the surprise of nobody, after the devastating blow Lantlas took from the last move. Grimm, exhausted and not thinking clearly, went for a pinfall, but Tyrone Little informed him that he must escape the cage. Grimm started to crawl to a side, wanting to escape and defeat Lantlas, and as he reached the bottom, Lantlas began to get to one knee.
However, instead of trying to catch Grimm, the race was on. Lantlas began to drag his body toward the door of the cage, as Grimm started to climb up. They were moving at about the same pace, nobody in the building sure who would escape first. Nobody but one man. As Lantlas was reaching the door of the cage, and Grimm was reaching the top, about to climb over and out, Ace Anderson came running full steam down to the ring. In his hand was the same chair he used earlier to decimate Loco. A wave of referees followed him, probably in an attempt to stop him. However, before they could reach him, Ace opened the door and cracked Lantlas on the head with the chair, stunning him. Ace climbed into the ring through the door, and threw the chair up, the steel hitting Grimm in the head, causing him to fall to the mat. Tyrone Little had no choice but to call for the bell, ruling the match a no contest.
Winner
Hanging On
Details: Ace continued his assault, first taking out a pair of handcuffs and locking Grimm to the cage. He delivered a few punches to the face of Grimm, before turning to Lantlas. He picked up the chair he had thrown at Grimm, and planted a chair shot down on the head of Lantlas. Tyrone Little approached Ace to get him to stop, but Ace pushed him aside, causing Tyrone to land hard on the mat and then retreat to the corner. Travis Wilson tried to get into the ring to stop Ace, but Ace threatened to hit him with the chair if he came through the door.
Another smack to the head of Lantlas surely sent the Elven Warrior into an unconscious state, and Ace took out yet another set of handcuffs. He hooked Lantlas up to the cage, and then went back over to Grimm, looking another set onto his free wrist. Ace punched Grimm a few more times, and then returned to Lantlas, his opponent at Hostile Takeover. He put a fourth and final set of handcuffs on Lantlas, and then in a strange move, pointed to the sky. Mechanisms began to whir, and the cage began to rise. Trauma faded with Ace Anderson standing in the middle of the ring, a sinister grin on his face, as Lantlas and Grimm were raised to the sky.
