PCW Trauma: 110
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012
Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina

Club Vivacious
Details: Apparently, the usual opening to Trauma has been forgotten about as the feed kicks to life with the opening riffs and beats of Joe Lynn Turner’s “Back in Black” cover. In the opening ten seconds, cameras from all angles hover over the Faithful and converge on the stage. Club Vivacious, complete with head bobbing bartender polishing glasses, is set up and the crowd is on fire.

Jerry Andrews: Welcome everyone to Trauma…

Al Laiman: …you mean Club Vivacious, right Jer?

Jerry Andrews: No, I mean Trauma, Al. But you’re right, we are starting off the show with Johnny Vivacious’ Club V for the second week.

Al Laiman: And I’m not complaining about that one bit!

As the guitar screams into the meat of the song’s beginnings, Johnny Vivacious storms through the curtain and, without hesitation or showboating, heads down the ramp and to the ring. From his black biker boots, jeans and T-shirt to his gold barbs, silver-tinted shades and Marlboro dangling between his lips, the feel is intense and the glare is focused. Around the ring, snatching a microphone and ascending the ring steps, Vivacious wastes no time finding the center of the ring and the live camera. Before the first verse can even get started, Vivacious brings the microphone to his lips.

Johnny Vivacious: Hey, Billy-Bob Producer man, play it…

Jerry Andrews: Play it?

Above the full service bar of Vivacious’ establishment, the PCW Tron hums to life displaying the talent parking garage of the Pure Class Arena earlier in the day. Vivacious’ V12 Vanquish whips into a parking spot and the Man in Black steps out of his vehicle and opens his trunk. He pulls his gear from the trunk, shuts it and turns around only to be met, nose to nose, by a member of “The Clam”.

Immediately, a fight breaks out in the parking lot where Johnny Vivacious is once again fighting off the likes of six guys attempting to keep him from entering the building. The fight goes on for several moments as Vivacious holds his own until the numbers are just too much. Luckily, the beat down doesn’t last long as officials and road agents storm the scene and break the fight up.

Johnny Vivacious: Let’s not pretend we don’t know what the intention was tonight. I have had it up to here…

Raising his hand, along with his eyebrow, high above his head and then reaching further as he finds his toes, it’s visible that Vivacious is completely fed up with the antics.

Johnny Vivacious - …with my sister and future brother-in-law, because let’s face it, if there are any two snakes meant for one another, it’s the vindictive bitch and her greedy fuh… let’s say, lover.

Jerry Andrews: Did he just…

Al Laiman: Yeah, what’s with that?

Johnny Vivacious – She’ll marry him out of spite at this point, but that’s not what I’m out here to discuss. Clearly, if the brass would open their eyes, they would see that not only am I in danger of being eliminated from this tournament, “someone” is blatantly trying to eliminate me from the GOD DAH…

Vivacious looks down into the front row where he spots the youngster he had given tickets to over the weekend and again, changes his choice of words.

Johnny Vivacious: …DARN… roster!

Al Laiman: This sucks! That is NOT Johnny Vivacious… where’s Mr Network Liability?!

Johnny Vivacious: And… I can’t forget about that other guy that could possibly be laying in wait, poised and ready to pounce, when I’m at my weakest. If he’s not even sure, how can I, or anyone, be sure who’s driving that nut case?

Jerry Andrews: I’m going to assume he’s talking about…

Johnny Vivacious: I mean, come on Rhodes, all I asked for was some kind of compromise. Nothing permanent and without obligation to eve watch out for each other; no, I came out here man to man…

Jerry Andrews: Sure you did.

Johnny Vivacious: …and promised to stay out of your business so long as you stayed out of mine and you can’t even agree to that. What kind of a man does that make you? Like you’ve never turned your back on these fans? Funny, I remember the first time, the second time, the third time and this last time I faced you, they favored you over me EACH and EVERY TIME!

Al Laiman: Hey now, I’ve had your back since arriving! Well, up until tonight… maybe.

Johnny Vivacious: That’s because I’m consistent. When I say something, it happens. When I told them that I wasn’t going to show up for a show, I didn’t. When I told them I was going to appear on television wet and naked, I did. When I told them I was going to take that North American Championship from you, I did. When I told them I was going to auction that title off… okay, well, maybe there was one thing I didn’t do…

For the first time since his original arrival in 2006, the crowd chanted “JOHNNY V! JOHNNY V! JOHNNY V!” Vivacious stands proud in the ring, holding the microphone high above his head for all of wrestling to hear.

Al Laiman: Are you kidding me?!

Vivacious brings the microphone back to his mouth, but is noticeably taken aback by the long awaited reaction of the crowd. He allows them to chant another minute or more before continuing.

Johnny Vivacious: Well, Sean, what kind of man are you? When you say something, does it happen? You told me that you would, “let me know.” Well, I’m pretty much demanding an answer at this point. I can’t continue to worry about every single snake lying in the grass out there as I try to win this tournament.

Vivacious turns the “JOHNNY V!” chants into an “ANSWER NOW!” A chant demanding an appearance by one Sean Rhodes. The chant continues for a while as Johnny intensely stares at the stage but he eventually loses patience and walks to the ropes to chase his target. It is then that the tron lights up.

Skipping the regular slow intro, the guitar riff of Hells Bells by AC/DC suddenly blasts out of the PA System and the lights in the arena lift to show a man walking out onto the stage. It is 'Non Compos Mentis' Sean Rhodes. With a look toward the fans who are chanting vehemently for an answer, Rhodes begins to make his way to the ring, giving the them aggressive nods of appreciation as he goes. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp the lyrics begin to blast through the PA and NCM walks up the ring steps, onto the apron and into the ring. It is then that his eyes meet Johnny V’s and he is clearly very apprehensive about getting in the ring.

Jerry Andrews: These two men have a ton of history, yet I’m not sure even they know how this will play out.

Al Laiman: One thing’s for sure, business is about to pick up.

Rhodes steps through the ropes and walks hesitantly around the ring, collecting a microphone of his own. As AC/DC fades down, the roar of the fans and their demands for an answer takes over. Giving them a moment to die down, Rhodes waits and stares back at his old rival before speaking.

Sean Rhodes: Johnny, we know each other well enough for me not to hold my tongue when I speak to you. So when you say you want an answer, you’ll damn well get one!

To this the crowd cheers enthusiastically although it’s still not clear what Rhodes’ answer will be. Again he takes a second to allow the crowd to quieten while Johnny waits with unusual calm for his response.

Sean Rhodes: You want to know what kind of man I am? Whether my word can be trusted? If I’m a… snake? My honesty is not in question; I’m out here to give you my answer like I said and if I was going to knock you out of the Icemann Invitational I would have done it by now.

Cheering once more the crowd is clearly pleased to know that Rhodes doesn’t have designs on taking away Johnny’s chance at the World Title shot. But it doesn’t look like Rhodes is finished as Vivacious nods with appreciation.

Sean Rhodes: However… I am not a stupid man. At Mass Destruction you screwed me out of my chance of a World Title shot. Don’t think that I don’t know you’re in this for yourself, playing your little games to weasel your way into a shot of your own. You want your answer? Here it is… No Deal!

A collection of jeers travels around the arena at Rhodes’ distrust and he seems to be almost hurt by this reaction, surprised by their affection for his rival. Shaking it off he manages to refocus and turn to his attention back to Johnny.

Sean Rhodes: YOU are the only snake in this ring, and I will not do a deal with this devil. You and Stormm can kill each other for all I care, but if you come anywhere near me, if you even look at me the wrong way, I will make sure you will never screw me again.

With that answer, Sean Rhodes drops his mic and exits the ring with his music kicking in. As he backs up the ramp he looks back at Johnny V who looks frustrated at the choice of his long-time rival. Still the crowd boos Rhodes as we fade out to a commercial break.

MATCH ONE
Singles Match
"Majestic" Alan Christopher vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith
Referee: Manny Cruz
Match Details: "You think you know me?!" Metallica's "Orion" signals the arrival of PCW's "God Among Men" and the fans are quick to react harshly. Booing, swearing, and a little bit of spit - this is the greeting bestowed upon one Alan Christopher. After a lengthy laser light show, the Majestic One emerges from the back and dazzles the crowd with the Pose of the Magistrate! A couple women reach for their barf bags as Christopher whips out his huge, throbbing, veiny...bicep...and gives it a few pulsing pumps. "10000 Watts of Artificial Pleasure" by Dope Stars Inc. cuts Christopher's grand entrance short, and Alan isn't pleased. The crowd, however, pops for Pure Class Wrestling's veteran lunatic as the lights flicker and smoke comes rolling in. Out onto the stage he runs with crazy fist a pumpin' and Christopher absolutely cannot wait for him to stick his head through those ropes.

Jogging down the ramp, Crazy Boy dives into the ring. Alan Christopher, very eager to cash in on some punishment due to Tyrone Smith after the events that took place at Trauma 110, drills Crazy Boy in the side of the head with a black boot and this one's underway. Manny Cruz calls for the bell, but Christopher is all over Smith like white on rice. Clubbing blows that would break a normal man's back land over and over and over again, but still Tyrone struggles to gain his footing. Somewhere between his lust to punish and his quest for vengeance, the Majestic One finds a spare moment to grace the followers of His gospel with the Pose of the Magistrate. And the former North American Champion finds his opening! Seizing the opportunity, Crazy Boy clobbers Christopher in the back of the head...and the beat is on! Smith terrorizes his traps! He punishes his pecs! Brutalizes his biceps! Destroys his deltoids! Unleashes on his...hmmm...HEEEEE gives him a Crazy Drop!

Christopher is a bit dazed from the missile dropkick and Crazy Boy is able to get a two-count! Christopher doesn't stay down for long, though. Smith wisely uses his speed against the much stronger, much slower opponent, but Christopher is able to catch Crazy Boy's crossbody attempt and drive him stiffly into the corner! As Smith tries to catch his breath, Alan knocks his teeth loose with the Magnificent Shot! Blood begins to flow from Tyrone's mouth as Christopher drags him to the center of the ring to put on the final touches. He locks Smith in for an Awesome-Plex, but Crazy Boy counters with a small package! 1...2...kickout!

Surprised and caught off guard, Christopher attacks with a blatant rake to the eyes! Manny Cruz issues a verbal warning. Smith retaliates by grabbing a handful of Alan's short hair and pulling him in for a headbutt. Another verbal warning is doled out. Furious, Alan applies a blatant choke! Smith breaks free from Christopher's powerful grip by sinking his teeth into his forehead! The fans erupt! Manny Cruz is beside himself. Christopher retaliates with a thrust to the throat, and Crazy Boy drops to his knees clutching his esophagus! Having seen enough, Manny throws out the match. Both competitors have been disqualified!

Winner: Draw via Double Disqualification

But wait! There's more!
Details: With Smith on his knees clutching his windpipe, Alan is ready to make him pay dearly. Just as the Majestic One is about to punish Crazy Boy in a most severe manner, Smith connects with a low blow! The PCW Faithful roar their approval of Tyrone's bag-blasting tactics!

Jerry Andrews: Oooh! Right in juice bag!

Now it is Alan's turn to drop to his knees. A one-armed DDT leaves "Majestic" down on the mat and Crazy Boy heads to the top turnbuckle. The fans are ready for Crazy Boy to take flight...

Al Laiman: I think Alan Christopher is booked for a Crazy Spin!

His Majesty Sense must have been tingling, because Christopher quickly rolls out of harm's way to the outside of the ring. Crazy Boy drops into the ring and lunges across the ring after Christopher, but it's too late.

Jerry Andrews: Wise move on Alan Christopher's part. Live to fight another day.

Smith begs for Christopher to return to the ring, but the God Among Men simply smirks and shakes his head. Pointing to his temple, as if to say 'I'm smarter than you,' Christopher conjures up one last Pose of the Magistrate before disappearing to the back.

MATCH TWO
Tag Team Match
Usali Basilisk & "Puro Power!" Kaijin Shinryu vs. Grimm (International ©) & Areas
Referee: Roberto Garcia

Match Details: The match starts out with Puro Power and Grimm in the ring. The two appear to be sizing each other up. Puro makes the first move, landing a chop directly on the chest of Grimm. The bigger man didn't even seem to feel it. Puro changes his tactic quickly, stepping behind Grimm and grabbing a hold of him. Suddenly with a great show of skill, Grimm reverses and plants his opponent with a Foddershock, as if to say “Welcome to the ring, I'm not your average opponent.”

To Puro's credit he gets up pretty quickly, and goes for a chop. However it's a feint, and he goes quickly for a tag. Grimm catches Puro by his left leg however, holding him about a foot away from his partner. Puro however isn't a deer in the headlights and unleashes a devastating Enziguri kick! Full of confidence now he changes strategy, deciding to go on the attack instead of going for the tag.

He picks Grimm off the ground, delivering, one, two, three chops to the bigger man before grabbing him by the throat. He lifts Grimm off the ground, going for the Puroresu Chokeslam, but as he lifts Grimm, the bigger man's knee, which is now at face level, slams hard into Puro's face! Grimm lifts Puro up, and Irish whips him into the ropes. Puro bounces off and right into Grimm's Samoan drop.

Grimm decides to go for a tag, and Areas is quickly in the ring, the fans booing the whole time. Puro has managed to get up, and Areas doesn't get to him before he tags in Usali. The crowds boos turn to cheers as Usali steps in the ring to face his former Ascension mate. Both men are fresh and lock up close to Usali's corner of the ring, neither wanting to give way.

Areas however surprises Usali by slipping out of the lock up and getting position behind him and suplexing him to Deutschland. Both men are off the canvas quickly, and Areas is the one to be surprised this time as Usali lands a brutal dropkick. Usali quickly pulls Areas off the mat and throws a punch, but Areas ducks, and runs for the far ropes.

Usali bounces off the near ropes of his own free will, gaining his own steam as the two run towards each other. Both men lands devastating clotheslines and they are on the mat! The crowd is cheering for Usali to get up but both men have fallen hard. Roberto Garcia starts a ten count. 1..2... both men are still on the mat, but on all fours, heading for their partners. Grimm is eager to get into the ring, his hand outstretched. Puro is visibly more eager, almost hanging over the ropes to get a tag. Usali tags Puro in. Puro is over the ropes quickly, and Areas is still going for his tag. He's inches away when Puro drags him back to the center of the ring.

Without receiving a tag, Grimm decides to get in on the action anyways and comes into the ring. He smashes Puro with a spear, leaving him on the ground. Grimm isn't finished yet it seems as he continues on to Usali, who has just gotten vertical on the apron. Grimm spears Usali through the ropes and on to the floor on the outside where they both crash heavily.

Roberto Garcia goes over to tell Grimm to get back to his corner and Grimm being Grimm, continues to fight with Usali. Areas has slipped out of the ring, and is rummaging around underneath the ring. He finds what he is looking for, and as he slides back into the ring, a baseball bat is visible in his hands. Puro has risen and Areas swings for the fences, but this “baseball” drops at the last second, ducking the swing.

However Puro doesn't expect Areas to keep spinning around and the extremely quick second round of the swing smashes him in the face, dropping him like a sack of potatoes to the ground. Areas throws the bat out of the ring, causing the announcers to scramble a bit as it comes close to their table. Areas goes over to Roberto Garcia and gets his attention, and he quickly goes for the cover. 1....2....3!

Winners: Areas and Grimm via Pinfall

MATCH THREE
Icemann Invitational Elite 8: Singles Match
Andy D (N.A. ©) vs. LoKi
Referee: Joseph Buckland

Match Details: Hypest Hype starts blasting out of the PA system and it isn’t long before Andy appears on stage wearing a South Caroline Gamecocks jacket with 777 on the back over his usual t-shirt to the great delight of the Greenville crowd. He stands there, head bouncing and leg tapping along to the beat until the song completely kicks in, when he jumps in the air and some pyro goes off behind him. Andy heads towards the ring, unable to slap the hands of his adoring fans as he has a lucky four leaf clover in one hand and an even luckier horseshoe in the other.

Jerry Andrews: The North American Champion clearly wants luck on his side going into this match.

Al Laiman: But luck can only drag you so far, Jerry.

He slides under the bottom rope of the ring when entering, before running up to a random turnbuckle, hopping up to the second turnbuckle and motioning for the crowd to cheer loudly. Andy jumps down and removes his bucket hat, placing it on the ring post in his corner, then all his lucky paraphernalia before standing ready for the match.

The arena goes dark as Heaven’s A Lie by Lacuna Coil begins to play. Lights strobe in time with the music, silhouetting Loki on the stage. As the music picks up, the stage is illuminated in a blast of flame and Loki walks slowly to the ring.

Loki slowly walks up the steps to the ring apron and steps between the ropes, circling the interior of the ring with the intensity of a caged animal before lifting his arm into the air as the fans boo. As the music dies down, Loki retreats to the corner to wait for the match to begin.

Jerry Andrews: You could argue that all the pressure in this match is on LoKi. Andy is already a Champion, he’s young and has a bright future with surely many more chances at success waiting for him. LoKi has to win to earn his rematch with Lantlas and who knows how many other chances he’ll get at the World Title.

Al Laiman: Good point, but all of Andy’s lucky charms tell us he’s putting a lot of pressure on himself to succeed, pressure he may not be used to. LoKi is a veteran who thrives under this kind of pressure.

Referee Joseph Buckland calls the two men out of their corners and issues final instructions before signalling for the bell. As it rings the competitors eagerly begin to circle and search for the first chance to attack. The two jump forward into a collar and elbow tie up but the experienced LoKi is caught off guard and put into a headlock immediately. LoKi pushes out and sends Andy into the ropes but is forced to the mat by a shoulder block. Hitting the ropes straight away, Andy is met back in the middle by LoKi who nails a headlock takedown. Not to be outdone, Andy moves straight into a grounded headscissors only for LoKi to squeeze out and get back to his feet.

As both competitors get to their feet Andy hits a boot to the midsection and then a DDT but Loki reverses into one of his own. Just as he’s about to drop, Andy plants his feet and lifts his opponent off the mat, throwing him overhead with a tremendous Bridging Northern Lights Suplex.

One…
Two…
NO!

LoKi kicks out and gets to his feet before going for a Lariat, yet again Andy evades by ducking the shot and rolls LoKi over with a School Boy pin.

One…
Two….
NO!

Jerry Andrews: Andy’s got LoKi’s number right now.

Al Laiman: I don’t think that’ll last much longer.

Getting frustrated already, LoKi jumps up and lands a boot suspiciously low on Andy’s midsection. With a hiss of derision from the fans, The Fallen Angel capitalises by nailing a Snap Suplex in the middle of the ring, followed quickly by a leg drop across the throat and a hook of the leg.

One…
Two…
NO!

With the kick out, LoKi turns into a grounded Abdominal Stretch and puts immense pressure on the back and abdomen of his opponent. Referee Buckland checks on Andy and gets pushed back straight away as he fights back to his feet. LoKi does his best to keep the hold in place but loses out to a strong Hip Toss from Mr. D. As the former World Champion tires to get to his feet, Andy jumps up and goes for an Enziguri but LoKi ducks, sending Andy to the mat. With an opening present, LoKi hits the ropes and rebounds with a basement dropkick to the face.

Jerry Andrews: A brutal kick to the head, surely LoKi has the edge now.

LoKi pulls his opponent to his feet and, with him weakened, sets up for the Conviction Buster. Hooking in the Fisherman’s setup, LoKi hauls him into the air but can’t hold the wriggly youngster who rolls through and back to his feet. As LoKi turns he receives a running elbow to the face, followed by another and another until LoKi is thoroughly weakened. Now he manages to hit an Enzigrui to the side of LoKi’s head that drops him to a knee.

Jerry Andrews: He’s in prime position for the Dragon’s Bite!

Al Laiman: Andy could end it right now!

Hitting the ropes, Andy turns but LoKI pounces, jumping off the mat and nailing a vicious Lariat that almost takes his head off. Instead of pinning, LoKi drags Andy to his feet and hits the Dragon Suplex.

Jerry Andrews: Baal and the Dragon Suplex, right on the back of his head!

Al Laiman: The win is right there for LoKi to take!

Not even a moment later, LoKi goes for the Ragnarok but Andy manages to drop out of the back door. Hitting the ropes again, Andy nails a recovering LoKi with his Running STO, planting him hard on the mat. LoKi’s impetuous attack leaves him ripe for the picking and Andy hits the ropes. Before he can recover fully Andy throws himself forward and nails the Dragon’s Bite.

One…
Two…
THREE!

Winner: Andy D via Pinfall

Segment
Details: Jerry Andrews: He did it! Andy D beat LoKi!

Al Laiman: And he looks damn happy about it too!

Andy tiredly has his arm raised by the referee with an expression that shows he doesn’t really believe what he just did. The crowd can’t be contained as their cheers drown out Andy’s music, their happiness more than apparent.

The cheers continue as Andy climbs up the turnbuckles to celebrate his huge upset win over a former PCW World Champion. But as he lifts his arms into the air again the cheers turn to a massive boo. Confused by reaction from the fans, Andy drops his arms and is about to jump off the turnbuckles… when LoKI attacks from behind, dropping Andy with a horrific Second Turnbuckle Omega Driver.

Jerry Andrews: Ragnarok… a massive Ragnarok! What the hell!

LoKi, frustrated by the loss he just suffered and only slightly contented by the damage he has inflicted on his victorious opponent, rolls out of the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp. As his disgusted expression gets more bitter and twisted he notices another figure pass him on the way to the ring. The figure is that of Alan Christopher with a massive smile on his face. The crowd greet him with a chorus of boos that at least equals that which met LoKi’s villainous actions.

Jerry Andrews: What the hell is he doing out here now?!

Christopher walks to ringside, ignoring the still downed body of Andy in the ring. Instead he makes his way around to the timekeeper’s station and the accumulated items that Andy had brought to the ring to help his luck. Picking up the four leaf clover, Alan grips it in his muscular hand and crushes it with minimal effort.

Jerry Andrews: Oh come on! Is this necessary?!

Al Laiman: If only to see those biceps in action, yes!

Next he picks up the South Carolina Gamecocks jacket and sucks in a whole mouthful of saliva before expelling it all over the item of clothing, inciting a huge chorus of jeers from the crowd. By this point Andy has begun to stir in the ring and Alan sees this. Before climbing into the ring, the Magistrate grabs the North American Title Belt. He stands over Andy with an ominous look in his eyes and poses with the title to the even greater dismay of the PCW faithful.

As the North American Champion gets to his knees, Christopher scouts him with his own title in hand and prepares to inflict yet more pain. The crowd suddenly roars with hope as another figure joins the already insane fray. Tyrone Smith leaps over the security barrier and grabs the Horseshoe from ringside. He slides into the ring behind Christopher and takes aim. Before the Magistrate can land his attack, Smith lunges forward and clocks Christopher over the head with the hard metal, knocking him unconscious on the mat.

Jerry Andrews: Yes!

Al Laiman: No!

The crowd cheers rampantly but then is uncertain as Smith retrieves the North American Title from the mat. He stares at it longingly as Andy gets back to his feet and tries to get his bearings. As Andy’s vision clears he manages to make out Smith staring at the title and is unsure exactly how to react. Will Smith take the title for himself, use it as a weapon or some other evil plan?

Jerry Andrews: He’s… handing it over?

Indeed Smith extends the title and Andy hesitantly takes it, still expecting some kind of blindside attack. Crazy Boy, however, merely nods and leaves the ring, leaving Andy looking even more confused as Trauma fades to a commercial break.

MATCH FOUR
Tag Team Match
Lantlas (World ©) & High Tide vs. Sean Rhodes & Justin "Stormm" Michaels
Referee: Eddie Lane

Match Details: Hans Zimmer's "Dream is Collapsing" slowly builds. A tall, lanky figure, dressed in battle armor, steps onto the stage. The fans can’t make of what they are seeing. None of the fans are sure what to make of this armor-clad being, and when he raises the face guard, the fans cheer when they see the face of “The Elven Warrior” Lantlas!

Ring announcer: Introducing first, from Munich, Germany. Standing 6’7” and weighing 240 pounds. He is the PCW World Champion….“The Elven Warrior” LANTLAS!

Lantlas walks down to the ring, with his sword dangling at his side, and his bow over his left shoulder, and his quiver of arrows strapped to his back. After walking off the stage, he removes his helmet, getting a huge pop from the fans, and places it on the corner of the ring. He strips himself of his bow, his sword, and his arrows, before entering the ring. He removes his armor, giving it to the attire, and waits for his partner.

‘You Are A Pirate’ by Alestorm hits and PCW’s Rated ARRRRR Superstar walks onto the stage to a chorus of boos. High Tide walks down the ramp slightly crouched over, as if he’s sitting. He holds a large pirate flag in one hand, and in the other he is imitating steering a ship. He does this until he gets to the ring where he motions dropping an anchor and proceeds to hop on to the turnbuckle and dive headfirst over the ropes, rolling into a standing position. Then he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and pulls out a spyglass, looking around at the audience. He mimics loading a cannon and as he motions firing it, he jumps off the turnbuckle into the ring as fireworks shoot from all four turnbuckles. Turning to Lantlas the two clearly don’t see eye to eye as they stay distanced, waiting for their opponents.

First of the opposing team to show themselves is Justin ‘Stormm’ Michaels who walks out to ‘I Will Not Bow’ by Breaking Benjamin. The arrogance is clear as the former World Champion struts down the ramp with his stare focused purely on Lantlas, as if to say that one day soon he’ll be holding his title. He doesn’t climb into the ring, but instead stays at ringside to wait for his partner.

The lights in the arena dim and a shuddering bell toll rings out through the arena. The toll is followed by three more in a slow rhythm until an electric guitar riff starts, slow and melodic. The riff is that of ‘Hells Bells’ by AC/DC. After roughly ten second of the riff a cymbal begins to chime. The cymbal hits eight times in time with the guitar riff, After the eighth a stronger thud begins to hit.

On the final strike the guitar riff suddenly grows quicker and harder and the lights in the arena lift to show a man walking out onto the stage. It is 'Non Compos Mentis' Sean Rhodes. With a look toward the fans Rhodes begins to make his way to the ring, giving the crowd aggressive nods of appreciation as he goes.

When he reaches the bottom of the ramp, Rhodes locks eyes with Stormm and the two of them remain silent until they both climb into the ring together.

Jerry Andrews: It appears that Rhodes and Stormm are going to try and work together here.

Al Laiman: Both teams have huge differences, the team that reconciles those differences the best will probably win here.

As AC/DC fades out, Eddie Lane calls all four men together and tells them to play fair and keep it clean before signalling for the bell. Stormm and Rhodes have a brief stand off before Michaels finally gets out of the ring, while Tide all but pushes his partner out onto the apron to start for his team. Turning around, Tide sees who his opponent will be and quickly resorts to slapping Lantlas across the chest to tag out.

Jerry Andrews: It looks like Tide wants nothing to do with Sean Rhodes… not one bit.

Lantlas, looking disappointed with his partner, climbs into the ring and squares off with Rhodes. The action opens with a tie up and both men pushing hard for an advantage. Lantlas has the height advantage which proves more important than the extra 10lbs Rhodes is carrying as he gets pushed back to the ropes. Summoning more strength, Rhodes pushes back and gets to the middle of the ring before Lantlas shifts into a side headlock. Rhodes pushes out and sends Lantlas into the ropes but receives a shoulder block to the mat. Lantlas hits the ropes and… receives a slap to the back from High Tide.

Jerry Andrews: Tag in! And Lantlas is not impressed!

Looking on with bemusement, Lantlas watches Tide jump into the ring and attempt to jump on the downed Rhodes. He grabs the head, looking for a DDT, but Rhodes pushes out and attacks with a salvo of solid rights. Whipping Tide across the ring, Rhodes drops his head for a backdrop but acts too early, receiving a boot to the head as punishment. The scurvy seadog goes for a Snap Suplex but can’t lift the heavier man who recovers and reverses it into a Suplex of his own that hits hard. Quickly he tags out to Michaels who goes to work straight away.

Al Laiman: No sign of communication problems with Stormm and Rhodes, though you can’t say the same for Tide and Lantlas.

Michaels lands a series of chops to the chest of the recovering Tide that forces him back to the ropes before he whips him across the ring. On the rebound Stormm goes for a scoop slam but Tide drops out of the back door and immediately tags out to The Warrior Elf.

Jerry Andrews: Tide wants nothing to do with Stormm while he has the momentum.

Lantlas receives a great amount of cheers as he climbs into the ring as he and Stormm go for a tie up. Cutting it off before it can lock in, Stormm nails a boot to the gut and hits a quick Russian Leg Sweep before a quick tag to Rhodes. The Wrestler Formerly Known as Non Compos Mentis climbs inside and nails a combo of Elbow Drops across the chest, pinning after the last.

One…
Two…
KICK OUT!

Pulling the World Champion back to his feet, Rhodes looks to inflict heavy damage and sets up for the TKO with a Fireman’s Carry. Lantlas lashes out with an elbow to the ear, followed by two more that force Rhodes to drop him. Instinctively the Elf shoves the madman into the ropes and hits a stunning Mongolian Chop to the temples. With Rhodes momentarily dazed, Lantlas grabs him and nails the Downward Spiral out of nowhere.

Jerry Andrews: That could be it already!

One…
Two…
TH..NO!

Suddenly transitioning into a Dragon Sleeper, Lantlas tries to capitalise on the hurt head and neck of Rhodes. As Eddie Lane goes to ask the Born Psycho if he wants to submit, however, High Tide sneaks into the ring and dives toward the opposite corner. Lucky for Stormm, Lane catches him in the act and interjects, pushing him back toward the corner to the dismay of the World Champion who makes his opinion known. Releasing the hold he goes to confront Tide who is being booed by the whole crowd for his actions. Meanwhile, Rhodes gets to his corner and tags out, allowing Stormm to scout Lantlas before he turns and walks straight into a Reverse Sambo Suplex.

One…
Two…
TH…NO!

Tide tries to break up the pin, but he would have been way too late and it was in fact a kick out. Stormm signals the end and pulls Lantlas back to his feet before setting up for the Spinning Fisherman’s Slam.

Al Laiman: Force Of Nature!

Jerry Andrews: No!

Lantlas fights back with a flurry of punches to the exposed ribs and lifts Stormm into a Fireman’s Carry for his Flame of the West. This time Stormm reverses and drops behind his opponent, forcing him forward into the ropes. Eddie Lane spots something but Lantlas pays no attention as Stormm ducks his head a moment too soon and allows him to set up for a powerbomb. The Elven Warrior hauls the weight of Michaels up and onto his shoulders and pauses for a second.

Jerry Andrews: Elvish Tale!

Al Laiman: But what the hell is Tide doing?!

In the corner, Tide is climbing the turnbuckles and reaches the top just as Lantlas is about to hit his trademark Powerbomb Facebuster. Leaping off, Tide hits a shuddering Missile Dropkick to the back of Stormm, sending him crashing straight down onto Lantlas chest with absolutely no warning.

Jerry Andrews: Blind tag! There was a blind tag that Lantlas had no idea about!

Al Laiman: Well he damn sure knows about it now!

As confusion abounds, nobody notices that Rhodes has climbed into the ring and is scouting the recovering High Tide. The Rated AARRRRRR Superstar looks at the mat and Lantlas rolling out of the ring, showing a smile at his handiwork. He turns..... straight into a boot to the gut and a neck-snapping Fractured Mind that leaves Tide motionless in the middle of the ring.

Jerry Andrews: Tide is the legal man and he’s out cold!

Stormm struggles across the mat as Rhodes rolls out of the ring and looks on. Within a few seconds Michaels drapes his arm across the chest of Tide and pins.

One…
Two…
THREE!

Winners: Justin Michaels and Sean Rhodes via Pinfall

Segment
Details: As ‘I Will Not Bow’ by Breaking Benjamin hits as Stormm struggles back to his feet, surprised to find himself successful after not even hitting his finishing manoeuvre. As he reaches a vertical base once again, Stormm watches Tide roll out of the ring and Lantlas leave up the ramp in disgust at his partner. Michaels turns to see his partner and rival staring at him with a steely gaze.

Jerry Andrews: They seemed to work well together in the match, but all bets are off now.

Al Laiman: Is Stormm…. Smiling?

Having succeeded in their tag team match, Stormm grins and extends his hand to his long time enemy as if to offer an alliance against their mutual adversary, Johnny Vivacious. The gesture is immediately met with a huge chorus of boos from the crowd who are shocked at the arrogance of Michaels. Rhodes himself looks down at the hand of the man facing him and then at his face.

Jerry Andrews: Surely not? After everything he’s tried to prove to the PCW fans…

Al Laiman: I don’t know… Stormm could be a powerful ally.

The Born Psycho takes a moment to weigh up his options although everyone but Stormm seems to have the impression that his decision was made the moment the hand was extended. Rhodes shakes his head without a single word and turns to leave the ring.

Jerry Andrews: Right choice!

Rhodes gets to the ropes to leave but is wildly attacked from behind by a Clothesline to the back of his head. The boos become greater and greater but Stormm has no interest in their objections, instead he drags Rhodes to his feet and shouts an arrogant volley of abuse at his stunned target. With little fight, Stormm sets up Rhodes and drives him into the mat with a sickening Spinning Fisherman’s Slam!

Jerry Andrews: Force of Nature… goddamnit!

Suddenly a huge cheer erupts as a figure dressed all in black comes sprinting down the aisle. The bleach blonde hair of the man catches Stormm’s eye just in time for his to realise that it is his soon to be Brother In Law carrying a steel chair and he dives from the ring in a show of tremendous self-preservation. Johnny Vivacious slides into the ring and threatens to throw his chair to the outside until Michaels backs off up the ramp with a smile across his face.

Jerry Andrews: I never thought I’d near myself say this… but thank god for Johnny V!

Mr Network Liability takes his attention off Stormm for a moment as put it on the man struggling to get to his feet in the middle of the ring. Holding his chair tight, Vivacious clearly has conflicted feelings running through his mind about what he should do with Sean Rhodes. He would be easy prey for a chair shot, but Vivacious remains calm and sets up the chair in the middle of the ring.

Al Laiman: Is he taking a seat right in the centre of the ring?

Jerry Andrews: I think he is, and he’s waiting for Rhodes to get up.

Inch by inch, Rhodes climbs back to his feet and turns to see his most bitter rival sat waiting for him. Tired and aching, he now also looks confused at this sight and questions the Man In Black on his motives. Vivacious calmly stands from his chair and meets eyes with the man in front of him… then extends his own hand.

Jerry Andrews: Sure he can’t be serious?

Al Laiman: Rhodes turned him down at the start of the show, but the battlefield has shifted with that attack from Stormm. Who knows what a man like Rhodes is thinking right now?!

The eyes of the Born Psycho look up and down from the face of Vivacious to his hand. The weight of the decision is pushing down on him and the crowd’s “Yes! Yes! Yes!” and “No! No! No!” mingle into one cacophony of noise. Rhodes seems to lift his hand for a moment as if to extend it… but then pulls back and drops to the mat, rolling form the ring without an answer yet again.

Jerry Andrews: Again this conflict looks to continue.

Al Laiman: And speaking of continuing; Trauma continues with that man, Johnny Vivacious, taking on Nacho Grade after this commercial break!

MAIN EVENT
Icemann Invitational Final 4: Singles Match
Nacho Grande vs. Johnny Vivacious
Referee: Tyrone Little

Match Details: As Johnny V remains in the ring from before the commercial break, the music of PCW’s Masked Hero hits. The entire crowd seems to erupt with a cry of “NACHOOOOOOOO!” and cheers until movement happens on the stage.

Accompanied by his good compadres Beef Supreme and Quesa Dilla, both only 79 cents for their services of course, emerges the great Nacho Grande! With a lucha mask, a Spiderman t-shirt, a Superman cape, Batman boots, and a Wonderwoman skirt (gotta pay his respects for all the great ones), Nacho Grande waves along with the music hooking one arm over his head with the beat. The crowd can't help but follow the catchiness and the dance, and Nacho hits the ring with the crowd singing along.

Jerry Andrews: Nacho looks pumped and ready to go.

Al Laiman: But so does Johnny V, especially after what we just saw with Sean Rhodes.

Nacho climbs into the ring and focuses on Vivacious, leaving behind the fun and frivolity in favour of a more intense manner now that the real hard work is about to begin. As the music stops, Tyrone Little checks that both men are ready and calls for the bell. The Ding sparks both men into life as they look for the first chink in their opponent’s armor. Each man lunges forward to try and trap a leg but is evaded. Finally they jump forward into a collar and elbow tie up that Johnny V quickly gets the better of, locking Nacho in a side headlock. Pushing forward, Nacho tries to force Vivacious into the ropes but Johnny merely tightens the headlock even more and plants himself in place.

Johnny uses his technical skill and extra power to throw Nacho to the mat while holding the headlock, but Nacho quickly replies with a headscissors that Vivacious escapes in equally quick fashion. As both men attempt to stand, Nacho swipes the legs out from beneath The Man In Black and executes a lateral press.

One…No!

Johnny kicks out almost immediately and whips the legs from underneath Nacho in the same way, making his own pin.

One…NO!

Both men jump up suddenly and meet in a standoff to the delight of the fans.

Jerry Andrews: An energetic start to the match and neither man is backing down.

They begin to circle again until engaging in a second collar and elbow tie up, this time won by Nacho. Vivacious quickly powers out and sends Nacho into the ropes but ducks a moment too soon for a back body drop. Carrying his momentum, Nacho shows his agility by flipping over him with a backflip. As Vivacious turns he receives a whipping Armdrag that sends the fans into a chorus of ‘Nachooo!’ chants, only for their masked hero not to reciprocate. Instead he’s focuses on nailing another armdrag… and another!

Al Laiman: Johnny needs to do something fast to stop Nacho’s momentum, he’s on fire right now.

Nacho goes for a fourth trademark armdrag only for Vivacious to land a lifting knee to the gut to stop him in his tracks. Without giving Nacho time to recover, Johnny hauls him into the air and throws him down with a brutal spinebuster out of nowhere. Taking this opening he locks in a grounded abdominal stretch that tortures the midsection and back of Nacho. Little asks for a submission but is sent away by the Luchadore who fights back to his feet and hits a series of elbows to the head. From there he executes a picture perfect lucha style armdrag and lightning fast Hurricanrana that sends Vivacious flying to the outside.

Jerry Andrews: I think Nacho’s got some aviation in mind!

As Vivacious gets to his feet uneasily, Nacho hits the ropes and launches himself over the top with a spectacular Tope Con Giro. The fans go wild with cheers as Nacho throws his opponent back into the ring and covers.

One…
Two…
NO!

Johnny just gets his shoulder up and Nacho goes back to work, picking him off the mat. There he lands another armdrag, but this time drops a series of elbows across the chest that wind Vivacious, keeping him on the mat long enough for the Fast-Food Fighter to nail an Asai Moonsault.

One…
Two…
THR…NO!

Attempting to stay focused, Nacho lifts Johnny back to his feet and tries to lift him up to his shoulders. Nacho is unable to go for the Eat Late Even Great as Vivacious drops out behind him and hits his signature Cross Arm Suplex.

Al Laiman: Window Maker! Just what Johnny V needed to turn the tide of this match back in his favour!

Nacho struggles back to his feet, clearly disoriented by the impact of the suplex, and is easy prey for Vivacious who nails a huge Swinging Neckbreaker, otherwise called the Southern Screw.

One…
Two….
THR…NO!

Johnny looks frustrated as he gets up to his feet with Nacho slowly following him. The first to lash out is Johnny V who hits an open handed punch to the masked man. A dazed Nacho finds the energy to hit back with an elbow of his own. The two exchange blows back and forth until Nacho finally loses out, being forced back toward the ropes. Mr Network Liability whips him across the ring and throws him high into the air for a Flapjack… only for Nacho to reverse in mid air and drive Vivacious’ head into the mat with a massive DDT, leaving both men down.

Jerry Andrews: My god! A huge impact but I don’t think Nacho can capitalise!

Nacho and Johnny struggle to the ropes and slowly drag themselves up to their feet. Turning around, Nacho is the first to attack with another elbow flurry, followed by a series of punches from Vivacious. Again Nacho retaliates but is stopped dead by a sudden and vicious thumb to the eye. Some members of the crowd boo but are met with a look on Johnny’s face that says “What do you expect?”

Al Laiman: I knew it! There’s the Johnny V I know!

With Nacho stunned, Vivacious goes to finish the match and hauls Nacho into the air for his trademark Fisherman’s Hangover.

Jerry Andrews: This is it!

Johnny is about to drive him down for the finish but Grande hits out with a knee to the top of his head. The weakened grasp allows Nacho to roll through the move and back to his feet. Before Johnny can react, Nacho hits the ropes and springs off the middle, rotating and hitting a phenomenal Flying Crossbody.

Hitting the mat hard, Vivacious remains down as Nacho pulls himself tiredly up the turnbuckles, looking for something high risk.

Jerry Andrews: Nacho’s going for the 2am Dri…. What the hell?

Al Laiman: Looks like we have a guest!

At the top of the ramp a figure can be seen walking toward the ring. The figure attracts rabid boos from the crowd as they recognise him as the former World Champion… LoKi! Nacho perches himself on the top turnbuckle, looking to hit the Flying Elbow Drop, but stops his preparations as he spots the Fallen Angel walking closer and closer to the ring. His distraction allows Vivacious to recover and the Man In Black kicks out at the nearest ropes. The vibrations cause Nacho’s footing to fail and he tumbles from the top rope into the ring, landing in a bone-crushing pile.

Jerry Andrews: No! Not like this!

Vivacious falls into a lateral press and hooks the leg for the pin.

One…
Two…
THREE!

Al Laiman: No… Kick out!

Jerry Andrews: Was it a kick out? Nacho got his shoulder up right at the moment Tyrone Little’s hand hit the mat!

Referee Little moves to the ropes in the midst of the confusion and says something to ring announcer Mark Long. Long nods in acceptance and lifts his microphone.

Mark Long: The winner and Finalist in the Icemann Invitational…. JOHNNY VIVACIOOOOOOUS!

Winner: Johnny Vivacious via Pinfall

Segment
Details: “Back in Black” by Joe Lynn Taylor hits and Vivacious lifts his arms in celebration, part of the crowd cheering while the others still boo. He progresses to the final of the Icemann Invitational while Nacho plummets out of the competition.

Jerry Andrews: Johnny Vivacious wins, but only because of the interference from that rat LoKi!

Al Laiman: Nacho looks heartbroken.

In the centre of the ring, Nacho looks up at Tyrone Little in total disbelief. Through his mask the whole crowd to see he is a mass of disappointment, sadness and more importantly, anger. His gaze turns to the ramp and the man that cost him his shot at the PCW World Title, ‘The Fallen Angel’ LoKi. As Johnny Vivacious climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate his win, the cameras zoom in on the sadistic, satisfied smile of LoKi. Lingering on that image, Trauma 111 fades to black.
