PCW Trauma: 123
Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
Throwing Weight Around
Details: (“Gold on the Ceiling” by the Black Keys begins to blare over the P.A. system and for the first time it is met by a chorus of mixed signals. When “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght steps through the curtain a look of sheer confusion is across his face. He adjusts his designer suits jacket and slowly makes his way to the ring. He still signs a few autographs for those who are still reaching for them, looks dejected at a sign that reads “Showtime is a cheater”.
He climbs the ring stairs and he wipes his feet on the ring apron before ducking under the top rope. He still poses around the ring for those that still love him. He reaches into his blazer and withdraws a microphone as his music ceases to play.)
Michael Wryght: I just don’t understand. I came back for all of you. I gave you back the tag team titles. I took myself out of action to make sure that you were still getting the best show possible. The reception that you have all been giving me since my return has said that you wanted nothing more than Mr. Showtime as your champion. I give one stroke of the pen in my favor and I become some sort of monster?
(A low cheater chant begins to rise, which begins to be combated with a Showtime chant. Showtime looks around baffled, but you can tell that he still appreciated those that are behind him.)
Michael Wryght: Since my announcement last week, I have heard some of those in the back don’t think that I was being fair. I, on the other hand, don’t think that my chance being taken from me is fair. What I also find strange that there is someone in particular back there that seems to be saying that it isn’t fair the loudest. A man that has only been here for a short while, where I have been a part of Pure Class Wrestling since two thousand and five. It’s funny that this person is also the same man that stole a title from a real champion. I have to ask myself, is that fair? I would have liked it if you came and spoke to me in person Darren instead of hiding behind social media handles, but what can you do?
(The crowd is eerily quiet and waiting to see where Showtime is going with this. He flashes them all his patented cocky half smile and continues.)
Michael Wryght: In a manner of fairness I thought that it is only fair that Darren gets a chance to take the International Title fair and square. I also find it fair to let Mr. Ford get his hands on the man that unrightfully stole his title. See that’s all fair, isn’t it? So with the powers vested in me I declare that at Collision Course Whitey Ford will defend the International Title against Darren Hughes.
(It seems that this is something that the fans love and they erupt in cheers.)
Michael Wryght: And just like that I have made the second title match for Collision Course…
(“Cold as Ice” by MOP begins to play cutting Showtime off midsentence. From the backstage area “The Icemann” Luis Malave emerges with a microphone already in hand.)
Luis Malave: Michael, I thought we already covered this after you announced yourself the number one contender last time? This is a complete abuse of power.
Michael Wryght: No, what we went over last time was that I would get my shot to face the best of Pure Class Wrestling. When I beat them all I was to be given my shot at the title, but due to that fool Walker, I had to take a back seat. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mind taking the bullet there to make this place even better, but I shouldn’t be punished for it.
Luis Malave: I’m sorry Michael, but it’s just something I cannot allow. Now don’t you have a match to get ready for that includes the person that eliminated you from the Deadly Rumble?
Michael Wryght: Let’s not bring up who eliminated who from the Rumble, since it was me who kicked your sorry ass out.
(The fans give a collective ‘OOOOOOOOOOOOO’ at Showtime’s clearly frustrated comment. The Icemann refuses to let it get to him though, as he just shakes his head and steps back begin the curtain.)
Michael Wryght: This isn’t over Luis, I will fight for the title at Collision Course.
(Showtime throws his microphone down and his music hits again. He storms into the backstage area with a mixture of cheers and jeers.)
MATCH ONE
Tag Team Match
Crazy Muscles w/Miss Mandy vs. Sea Men
Referee: Nolan Burke
Details: Crazy Muscles, the team that came so close in winning the PCW Tag Team titles, walk down to the ring as a cohesive unit. The PCW fans cheer loudly for this eccentric duo, which energizes them. Jule Martins and High Tide, comprising the team of Sea Men, are walking down to the ring as well, but they’re bickering all the way down.
Tyrone Smith decides to start the match while High Tide, against Wasp’s wishes, starts on his side. Both men lock up. With Crazy Boy being the larger of the two easily pulls the smaller pirate in for a side headlock. However, the headlock bared no fruit when the pirate counters with a sick-looking Saito Suplex! He goes for the cover and gets a one count.
High Tide wrestles Tyrone Smith to his feet, trying to pull him to his corner, but Jule “Wasp” Martins wants nothing to do with either one of them. This gives Smith the opportunity to overpower the pirate with a Side Russian Leg-sweep. CB goes to his corner and tags in El Musculo. The fans explode when Musculo jumps over the top rope and goes to town on High Tide with right hand after right hand, after right hand. Unbeknownst to Musculo, Wasp comes in and throws a Super Kick to the side of Musculo’s head, sending him to the mat. Smith scrambles into the ring, gets a spinning back kick in the stomach for his troubles, along with a snap DDT.
The fans are completely confused at this point. The members of Sea Men look at each other, smile and shake hands! The dissention between the two is a complete farce. Nolan Burke gets Wasp back to his corner. High Tide tags his partner in, and back in comes Wasp. He grabs a handful of Musculo’s mask, pulls him to his feet, goes for a head kick, but Musculo is ready. He ducks underneath the kick and, with all of his might, springs back up with a European Uppercut! Wasp oversells the impact by jumping up into the air and landing hard on the mat.
Tyrone Smith wants to tag in; so does High Tide. Both men—almost at the same time—tag their partners in. Smith and High Tide are trading blows but Smith gets the better of the exchange by throwing a knee into the midsection, gets behind the pirate and pulls off a beautiful German Suplex! Nolan Burke checks their shoulders, and counts one…two…three! Smith gets up and starts celebrating while Burke tells the ring announcer that the match is a double pin-fall draw. Instant reply shows that while Smith does have HT pinned, his shoulders are also pinned to the mat.
Winners: Draw via Double Pinfall
The Champ Is Here!
Details: With the commotion around the results still going on in the ring, the cameras move backstage to the parking lot area of the Pure Class Arena. There we find Kassandra Black awaiting the PCW Faithful’s attention, microphone welded to her hand as always… except for when Icemann’s *bleep* is there instead. She is standing just behind the door to the parking lot as a screech of tires can be heard in the background.
Kassandra Black: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just received word that the PCW World Champion has just arrived in the building and I’m going to try and get a word with him regarding Michael Wryght’s announcement earlier this week, and what we heard earlier tonight.
At that moment the doors to the garage burst open and into the arena walks Sean Rhodes, freshly defended World Title belt draped over his shoulder but with a distinct absence of a kit-bag. Instead he is carrying only a shirt marked by black and white stripes. Kassandra springs into action and approaches the champion although the look on his face is one of displeasure and annoyance.
Kassandra Black: Mr. Rhodes can I get a word from you on the announcement made earlier this week….
Rhodes turns to the PCW Interviewer and scowls even more, forcing the normally confident Black to halt in mid-sentence. He considers walking off without so much as a word and then stares down at the microphone. Finally he takes hold of it himself and speaks.
Sean Rhodes: If ‘Mikey’ wants to put himself between me and this…
With his other hand Rhodes grabs the belt and lifts it off his shoulder, holding it out just far enough for the camera to get a clean view.
Sean Rhodes: … he can bring it on and do his best to take it away. He knows the only way he can get a shot is to abuse his power. Well let’s see what happens when he gets in the ring with a PCW World Champion that fought hard for seven years to get there, and a contender that won his shot fair and square and has made his career on putting Showtime in his place.
Kassandra Black: What do you mean by that?
Rhodes gives the reporter a look of indigence but simply grips the mic tighter instead of leaving.
Sean Rhodes: It’s no secret ‘Mikey’ and Grimm have had their fair share of fights, and look what happens as soon as ‘The Hangtown Horror’ gets himself a title match… Little Mikey comes along for the ride. It’s all a game of one-upmanship, but if they’re going to involve me… well I’m not one for playing games.
With that, Rhodes finally releases the microphone and makes his way off into the bowels of the arena. Kassandra straightens herself out and looks back at the camera, acting as if she was never flustered at all.
Kassandra Black: Back to ringside…
One Legend To Another…
Details: (“Pain Redefined” comes on the PA and Ace Anderson appears at the top of the ramp. He receives a mixed reaction from the crowd; the boos are still overwhelming but pockets of cheers can be heard from a few sections. He is dressed to wrestle though his match isn’t until later in the night. With a microphone already in hand he walks to the ring, surveying the fans lining the ramp. Ace Anderson climbs the ringside steps and enters the ring through the second rope, saluting the crowd. He takes a few breaths, pausing momentarily, before he begins to speak.)
Ace Anderson: The last time Ace Anderson stood in a PCW ring, on air, with a microphone, I’m certain my goal was to belittle and disrespect somebody who didn’t deserve it. I’ve done so more times than I can count. Tonight, however, for maybe the first time I intend to pay respect where it’s due; I’d like to openly apologize to the one person I’ve insulted most, and with least reason.
(Ace Anderson pauses once more as the cameras cut across the crowd, nearly silent aside from a low rumble and isolated jeers.)
Ace Anderson: Lantlas; your words at Deadly Intentions moved this old fool’s heart. When you first came to PCW, I viewed you and your Hardcore Hell companions as menaces in my house. I thought that you, as a menace, would arrive, cause chaos, and move on. As it turns out, you just needed time to make a home here. You now have every right to call Pure Class Wrestling home, if not more so than I. For you, unlike me, have constantly demonstrated to these fans what class truly is. For better or worse, you are my Elven step-brother.
And much like brothers, we haven’t always seen eye to eye. Together you and I have been through more, inside that ring and out, than few words or little time could say. Rivalry; friendship; betrayal; we’ve approached the limit together, and took turns pushing each other over the edge. And time and again, you’ve proven yourself to be my better. I’ve always been the problem child.
So now I’m here before you all, not expecting forgiveness, but still I’ll say for all to hear: Lantlas, I’m truly sorry. For everything. And, though I don’t deserve it, for I haven’t earned it, I want to make a request. You said at Deadly Intentions that when your shoulder heals, you would step into the PCW ring once more. I ask that when you’re ready, you would step into the ring against Ace Anderson, one final time.
(PCW’s Faithful erupt into fanfare, imaginations racing at what it would mean to see two of PCW’s storied legends square off once more.)
Ace Anderson: I don’t need an answer now, but I want you to know that I’d consider it a great honor to step into the ring with the best in the business one last time. Not for title belts, for vendettas or personal pride, but for all of you.
(He spins a full-circle in the ring, pointing to the fans who begin cheering louder.)
Ace Anderson: For Faithful fans, new and old, to show them what you and I together are capable of in this squared circle. Even if I don’t deserve it, they do.
(He drops the microphone and “Pain Redefined” picks up where it left off. Ace Anderson exits the ring with a smile on his face. He makes his way to the back to prepare for his match, moving as though at least one weight is off his shoulders.)
MATCH TWO
Non-Title Singles Match
”THE Asshole” Whitey Ford (N.A. ©) w/MJ Windsor vs. “The Adrenaline King” Justin Kaard
Referee: Steve Shaw
Details: Kaard is the first one out for this match, and he isn’t looking to good. His mid-section is wrapped up, and he seems to be sporting a bit of a bit of bandaging beneath his knee pads, most of which is hidden from his shorts. He looks ready to compete but it’s obvious he’s hiding a fair amount of pain. Before Kaard make it to the ring Ford’s music hits and he comes out to the stage with a widening grin pasted across his face. He and MJW motion to Kaard and seem to mock his injuries before making their way down the ramp with the International title in tow. Kaard steps into the ring, warming up as he hits the ropes and does a quick roll across the ring. The crowd is obviously behind the injured Kaard, well aware of the grueling match he went through at Deadly Intentions – it doesn’t hurt that he’s fighting possibly the most hated man in PCW.
With both men in the ring, and MJW at ringside, Shaw calls for the bell and the match kicks off! Whitey struts around the ring, not looking too impressed with Kaard who circles him, ready to strike. Whitey approaches Kaard, pointing outside to the International title before slapping him across the face. Kaard steps back and quickly plows Ford to the ground and begins to rain down blows. Shaw steps in quickly to pull Justin off and the crowd goes wild. Whitey stumbles to his feet only to be met with a series of outside leg kicks that push him into the ropes. Justin steps in, pushing Whitey into the ropes before whipping him – on the rebound, he catches him with a high leg lariat and a quick pin attempt.
1…
Kick out!
Ford scrambles to his feet and finds refuge against the corner. As Justin approaches, Ford steps out and drives a hard boot into the bandaged abdomen of Kaard, instantly doubling him over. Whitey wastes no time in laying in the clubbing blows thick Justin’s back before tossing him awkwardly shoulder first into the ropes. Stumbling back, he catches Kaard with a low dropkick across his back that sends him to the outside. MJW looks as though he wants to attack the downed Kaard but Shaw quickly shoots the man a gaze and he backs off. Whitey follows Kaard to the outside and leads him to the barrier where he joists him up and drops him stomach first across the top. Kaard stumbles away in pain and Whitey follows him closely.
Taking Kaard by the nape of the neck and the waist of his shorts, he spins and heaves him back first into the apron. At this point Shaw is at a six count and Ford tosses him back in the ring and goes for the pin attempt…
1….
2…..
Kick out!
Ford sits up and instantly begins to trash talk the ref, mocking his count speed before slapping Kaard across the back of the head. He leads Kaard to his feet and tosses him into the ropes. He goes for a lifting flapjack but Kaard floats over! Landing behind Ford, Kaard hits the ropes and come back with a low-flying dropkick across Whitey’s left knee. Whitey hits the ground and scrambles to his feet only to be taken down with another low dropkick to the knee. Kaard’s speed comes into play as he uses the kicks to push Ford into the corner. Whitey rushes out for a running boot to the head but Kaard ducks it! Rushing to the ropes, Kaard hits the middle rope but his knees buckle and he collapses to the mat.
Ford is quick to take advantage of the situation by stomping away at the fallen Kaard and it isn’t long before Shaw steps in. Pushing Whitey away, he asks Kaard if he wishes to continue and he replies with an unwavering yes. Ford watches patiently, once Shaw moves out of the he rushes in – but he’s met with a flying Kaard! Stepping forward, Justin takes to the air and catches Ford with his legs around his neck and tosses him with a flying leg scissors. Ford skids across the mat before getting to his feet only to be met with another one. Justin goes for a third, but Whitey catches him! Pushing him back, as Kaard lands he quickly takes him over with a stiff arm drag. Kaard is slow getting up, holding his back as he stands and walks into a hard european uppercut from Ford.
Stumbling away, he turns and rushes right into a spinebuster from Ford and another pin attempt.
1….
2…..
Kick out!
Kaard arches his back and Whitey is quick to his feet and begins to stomp away at Kaard’s stomach. Once more, Shaw is forced to step in but Kaard feverishly denies that he is unfit to compete – there’s no quit in him, and the fans are solidly behind him. Ford takes a moment to look out at MJW before turning to Kaard…who’s up and ready for him. Leaping into the air, Kaard slips a leg over the neck of Whitey Ford and drops him down with the overdrive! Upon impact, however, he doesn’t go for the pin – instead, he finds himself writhing in pain. MJW begins to slap the apron as he watches Kaard slowly crawl over for the pin…
1….
2…….
Kick out!
Ford powers out and Kaard looks tired. He wastes no time and getting to his feet and hacking away at the stumbling ford with kicks and chops. With a hard kick to the gut, Kaard looks to be going for a shining wizard but Ford tosses him up and over – Kaard lands on the middle rope. Walking along the rope, he takes to the turnbuckle and waits for Ford to turn around. The crowd senses it, they begin to roar, Whitey slowly turns around and Kaard leaps – he looks to be attempting the Seattle Space Walk on a standing Ford! Ford looks up, and quickly reacts; jumping into the air, he plants both of his boots firmly across the midsection of Kaard.
Whitey wastes little time in dragging Kaard up from a curled fetal position and tossing him up and over in a high jack clutch before stepping forward and dropping him down in a thunderous manner for the Backtoss Piledrive. He looks sickeningly pleased, screaming that Kaard is ‘Done’ before going for the pinfall.
1….
2…..
3!
Winner: Whitey Ford via Pinfall
The Bear Is Coming
Details: After the defeated Justin Kaard makes his way backstage after the previous contest, the arena suddenly darkens and is left like this for several moments. The PCW Faithful begin to murmur to themselves in confusion until finally the PCW-Tron lights up with one image…
The image hangs on the screen for a few seconds, enough for the whole arena to get a good look at it before it finally fades and a sentence replaces it: “The Bear Is Coming… Trauma 124”
Tense Alliances
Details: The scene opens backstage, with Lucius Saint and Scythe set against a typical PCW backdrop. Lucius is dressed to impress as per usual, while Scythe stands solemnly in his wrestling gear. To their right is PCW's Kassandra Black, microphone in hand.
Kassandra Black: I'm standing here with Mr. Lucius Saint and his associate, Scythe. As Scythe maintains his vow of silence, I have to ask you, Mr. Saint... how do you feel about your client's six man tag match tonight?
Lucius glances at the gorgeous interviewer, perhaps letting his eyes wander a second longer than necessary. Finally, he scoffs and answers her question.
Lucius Saint: How do I feel? Ms. Black, I feel good! I feel damn good. And why shouldn't I? My client is the most dangerous man in this company. I see little reason to feel anything but absolutely phenomenal.
Kassandra Black: No one can doubt your confidence in Scythe, but what of his teammates, Ace Anderson and Darren "The Bomber" Hughes?
Lucius Saint: Ace Anderson is a living legend, Ms. Black! A PCW Hall of Famer, and a man who commands respect wherever he goes! Look, it's not as if Scythe needs any help out there tonight... but considering that we don't get a choice? Ace Anderson should be an excellent partner. The same can be said for Darren Hughes, whom I've shared my thoughts on plenty.
Kassandra Black: Some are saying otherwise... considering that Scythe eliminated Ace Anderson from the Deadly Rumble, and an alliance with Darren Hughes turned sour, aren't you worried that you may be representing a dysfunctional team?
Lucius grimaced, not appearing to appreciate Kassandra for much other than her looks tonight.
Lucius Black: Dysfunctional? You want to talk dysfunctional? Let's look at who's standing across from us tonight. Sure, the words "PCW Tag Team Champions" might look pretty impressive on paper. But let's face it, Heaven and Hell cannot trust each other! Murdoc is a ticking time bomb, and he'll toss Pegasus to the sharks the first chance he gets. How are they going to manage to keep their eyes on the prize when they're both expecting knives in the back? And let's not forget their designated weak link -- Eira...
Kassandra Black: Who eliminated Scythe from the Deadly Rumble.
Kassandra smiled innocently, while Lucius shot a glare in her direction.
Lucius Saint: Which was a damn fluke, and will be considered an all-time high point in her career! Neither Eira, or anyone else in the Rumble would have stood a chance against Scythe one-on-one, and you know it! And if she thinks that her... "courageous effort" will go unappreciated? Then she is in for one hell of a surprise tonight. As for Anderson? Sure, my client may have lifted the 6'6'', 290 pound behemoth high above his head and over the top rope at Deadly Intentions 3. He may have very well proven himself as the most dominant specimen in the business in doing so! But Ace Anderson is a professional, and as such? I don't expect any problems.
Kassandra Black: And Darren Hughes?
Lucius straightened his tie, taking a brief moment to collect his thoughts.
Lucius Saint: I'll start by saying this... you ever put your hands on me again, Darren? And I solemnly swear that I'll have Scythe put you in a bodybag! That aside, it saddens me that your brief partnership with my client was so short-lived. It could have lead to great things, mainly a new era in Pure Class Wrestling! But it was inevitable, and now the two us remain at the bottom of management's totem pole. And yet, I suspect that Scythe and "The Bomber" will work together flawlessly tonight. We are not dysfunctional, but merely ambitious! Tonight, all three men's best interests are conjoined, rather than intersecting. Nothing can be accomplished through bickering, only through unity. And so tonight? We will further silence the doubters in the PCW Arena, three of them being the Tag Team Champions and Eira. After tonight, they will become confident believers in The Great Destroyer!
He patted Scythe on the back, and shot one last look of poison at Kassandra. Lucius and the big man walked out of frame, and the scene faded to black.
MATCH THREE
Singles Match
Usali Basilisk vs. Areas
Referee: Manny Cruz
Details: Areas is the first man out for this contest, and to no surprise he isn’t entering to “Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen. Still with the American flag in tow, he walks out to the tune of “Living in America” by James Brown. “They stole are jobs, not they’re stealing out titles!?” Areas rages as he makes his way down the ramp, refereeing to his match at DI 3. He doesn’t have to wait long for his opponent, a man who knows quite well, Usali Basilisk. Oddly enough, he is without his usual companion Machine, something that the fans and Areas himself take quick notice of. Wasting little time in getting to the ring, the two men engage in an intense stare down as Manny Cruz calls for the bell. While the match is underway, neither men seem ready to move.
Areas is the first one to approach, shoving Usali before pointing to the American Flag joisted on the turnbuckle. He goes for a shove again but Usali sidesteps the motion. As Areas turns around, Usali rushes in for the Tornado DDT but Aries has it scouted. Pushing Usali off, he waits for him to rush forward and goes for a Superkick! Usali catches his foot and instantly takes him over with a dragon screw. Both men stand, exchanging a brief gaze before engaging in a flurry of blows. The larger Areas takes the advantage, pummeling Usali towards the corner but he slips out at the last minute. Areas turns around and is met with a rushing Basilisk. Stepping off of Area’s right knee, he rams both of his knees across Areas’ jawline, sending him into the corner.
The crowd roars, excited by the rather inventive move, but Usali doesn’t stop there. Using his knees, he pushes off Areas and rolls backwards. Rushing forward once again, he jumps into the air and hits a high flying forearm into the cornered Areas – but Areas catches him. Rushing forward, Areas steps out, spins, and slams him down with a powerful spinebuster. He goes for the cover.
1….
Kick out.
Usali rolls to the apron, pulling himself up along the ropes and Areas quickly follows. Throwing his weight forward, Areas goes for a swinging haymaker but Usali ducks it. Throwing his body beneath the middle rope, Usali hits a impromptu body check that levels the larger Areas. Rolling off the move, he hits the ropes and comes back with a flying back elbow across Areas’ head that stumbles him. Usali pops back to his feet and uses a headbutt with his ceremonial mask to finish the job and put Areas on his back. Usali for the cover.
1….
2…..
Kick out!
Usali drags Areas to his feet and begins to hit a series of pressure point style blows to shoulders and chest before burying a spinning back heel kick into the man’s gut. Hitting the ropes, he slams his knee across Areas head before jumping up and over his back and taking him over with a crucifix pin attempt.
1….
2……
Another kick out!
Usali doesn’t seem unnerved by this and looks to continue his offensive push, but Areas has other plans. As Usali tries to lead Areas to his feet his pulled in for a quickly side belly-to-belly suplex. Rather than going for the pin attempt flat out, Areas drags Usali to his feet and hits a bridging northern lights suplex for a pin.
1….
2…..
Kick out!
Usali once again instinctively rolls to the nearby apron. Areas rushes at him and swings but once again Usali ducks, but Areas is ready. Stopping in the middle of the swing motion, Areas steps back and catches Usali with a knee across the gut. Areas takes a step back, with a crazed look in his eyes before rushing forward and BARELY clearing the top rope in a lead that sees him flip to the side of Usali and catch him on his down for an awkward looking shoulder powerbomb to the outside. Both men are down as Cruz begins the ten count. Areas gets to his feet first and begins to pummel the downed Usali, soon Usali pushes to his feet and hits a cross chop across Areas’ throat. Using the moment of confusion to his advantage, he bounces Areas’ head across the apron.
Shaw’s count continues and both men continue to fight on the outside. Taking to the apron, Usali rushes forward and leaps off the apron. Landing on Areas’ shoulder, he tosses him with a hurricanrana into the stairs! Cruz reaches an eight count as Usali gets to his feet only to see a rushing Areas tackle him into the unmoving barricade as if the rana had done nothing to him. Shaw looks out, and reaches ten as he calls for the bell. Usali and Areas exchange a glance before looking to Manny Cruz in the ring. Slipping back into the ring, both men begin to plead their case and after a moment Cruz relents. Stepping away from the two men, he calls for the match to be restarted and Areas INSTANTLY hits a superkick! Rather than going for the pin he ascends to the nearby top rope!
Watching the downed Usali, he takes a moment to admire the flag before launching himself forward for his trademark 450 splash…but Usali rolls out of the way. Usali looks as though he’s ready to strike when suddenly he begins to walk around the ring in a daze, almost as though he’s talking to somebody. Areas gets to his feet, slowly watching his former stable mate but not wanting to interrupt. He waits, but after a moment he simply has no choice but to act. Rushing forward, he catches Usali from behind with a bridging german suplex…
1…
2….
Kick out!
Usali pops back up to his feet, seemingly in control of his mind once again before rushing forward and hitting a headblock with his mask across Areas’ chin that echoes throughout the arena. He quickly goes for the pin.
1…
2…..
Kick out!
Cruz stands up and looks towards the time keeper and then the two competitors before approaching the ropes and calling for the bell. Both men look confused as Cruz then informs them that the match had reached the 15 minute time limit for the evening. Neither men look too happy with the decision, and neither seem entirely ready to step away from the confrontation.
Winner: Draw via Time Limit
Genesis To A Championship
Details: (As Usali and Areas stand in the ring, from behind the entrance curtain, and with no music announcing his arrival, steps “The Icemann” Luis Malave, microphone in hand.)
Jerry Andrews: We have already seen the boss out here once today, laying the law down on Mr. Showtime. But what's he doing now?
Al Laiman: Trying to push his way onto the show.
Jerry Andrews: He doesn't have to push. It's his show.
“The Icemann” Luis Malave: Usali, Areas...great effort. That's what I like to see, two individuals go out there and give it there all. It just sucks the match had to end like that. But that match reminded me of something...something I was meaning to do earlier, but because I had to deal with Mikey Wryght, wasn't able to do.
There's been a lot of requests by the PCW Faithful to reinstate the PCW Genesis Championship. And I'm going to honor that. Starting at Trauma 124 and ending at Collision Course, there will be an 8-Person tournament to determine the new PCW Genesis Championship. And all matches will be held under Genesis Rules.
(Crowd cheers)
Icemann: Areas...Usali....you guys are both in. And you guys will have a rematch of tonight's match at Trauma 125. But who is going to face at Trauma 124? Well, Andy D will be battling newcomer Cory Steele and Kaijin Shinryu will be going up against Q!
(Crowd cheers.)
Icemann: The rest of the participants will be announced via the PCW Facebook page. You want to know?- like us on Facebook. This is a wonderful opportunity for superstars in this company to make a name for themselves and give themselves a challenge. Good luck.
(Luis turns and exits into the back. Inside the ring, Usali and Areas stare one another down, until Usali breaks the stare and turns to leave. The camera stays on Usali as he walks out of the ring and begins his way up the ramp, but out of nowhere, Areas runs over and knocks Usali over the back of the head with a United States flag.)
Jerry Andrews: Damn that Areas!
Al Laiman: You just had to know Areas wasn't going to leave it the way it was.
(Areas stands tall over Usali, chanting, “U-S-A! U-S-A!” until the mighty Machine steps from behind the entrance curtain. The crowd erupts in cheers as Machine begins walking down the ramp..)
Jerry Andrews: It's Machine! He wasn't out here for the match, but you knew he would be there if the going got tough.
(...but smartly, Areas hops his tubby behind over the barricade and into the crowd.)
Jerry Andrews: Areas is a coward.
Al Laiman: A smart coward though. He'll have his hands full with Usali at Trauma 125. He shouldn't be getting injured before then.
(The feed fades out as Machine helps Usali to his feet.)
MATCH FOUR
Non-Title Six-Person Tag Team Match
Heaven & Hell (Tag Team ©) & Eira vs. Scythe w/Lucius Saint; Ace Anderson; Darren “The Bomber” Hughes
Referee: Joseph Buckland
Details: Only Murdoc and Eira make their entrance to the ring together with the music of ‘Apologise From The Sentinel’ by Attila Ats. Pegasus walks down to the ring alone, as does each member of the Ace Anderson, Darren Hughes and Scythe team. Needless to say, that creates an uneasy atmosphere as the bell rings. The match kicks off with Murdoc facing off against Anderson.
The two big men lock up and a power struggle begins. Murdoc backs Anderson up into the corner and the referee calls for a break. They lock up again and this time Anderson gets the advantage, slipping an elbow free and connecting with Murdoc’s head. Anderson then delivers a short-arm clothesline, which sends Murdoc staggering.

Outside the ring, referee Joseph Buckland has difficultly keeping the legal competitors separated from their teammates who are all crowding around, trying to get the advantage for their respective teams. Eira gets to her feet first, but Anderson uses the chaos around them to his advantage, taking Eira’s legs out from under her and sending her back down to the mat. Anderson now pulls Eira up and tosses her into the ring. He follows her inside.
Back in the ring, Anderson drops an elbow and he tags in Scythe. Scythe steps in as Eira is standing back up. He runs at her, sending her down to the canvas with a clothesline. He then pulls her up and hits a belly-to-belly suplex. Scythe then goes for a quick cover.

Winners: Ace Anderson, Darren Hughes and Scythe via Pinfall
Godzilla vs Bigfoot
Details: Following the pinfall, Hughes makes a quick escape with a massive grin across his face, very satisfied at his victory. He takes caution to stay a reasonable distance from Lucius Saint, however, who looks annoyed at the manner in which ‘Bomber’ inserted himself in the pinning situation. That same annoyance and more can be seen on the normally stoic Scythe who is positively boiling over with frustration. As everything is threatening to combust around him, however, Ace Anderson merely steps off the apron and begins to make his way up the ramp, having seen it all before.
The young and dominant Scythe finally loses it on the only remaining person in the ring, Pegasus. With no help at all, Murdoc and Eira having already exited to the back, Pegasus is completely vulnerable and at the mercy of Scythe who drags him up and slams him down with a vicious and bone-crushing trio of Powerbombs. The PCW Faithful are in a complete uproar and are booing intensely at the uncontrollable newcomer. The noise from the fans travels up the ramp, though, and catches the attention of the giant Anderson who turns to look at the cause.
Again pulling a near lifeless Pegasus to his feet, Scythe has more painful intentions for the Winged Horse and launches him like a Torpedo through the turnbuckles in the corner. With absolutely no defence, Pegasus’ shoulder crashes into the ring post… only for Scythe to yank him back and throw him into the bare steel once more, and AGAIN!
As he sets up for another of these sickening shots, Anderson finally loses it and charges down the ramp. Scythe has no idea what is going on behind him until Anderson slides into the ring, turns him around and fires of a huge salvo of rights and lefts that rock the normally unshakable monster. Scythe tries to fight back but the gigantic Anderson’s momentum forces him backwards until he hits the ropes. One final haymaker stuns Scythe enough for Ace to grab hold of him in a Belly To Belly Position and impressively toss the large man straight over the top rope to the outside.
As Lucius Saint scrambles around ringside to check on his downed associate, Anderson retreats across the ring to see what damage has been done to Pegasus who is motionless in the corner. EMT’s, referees and security finally come rushing down the ramp to help, leaving Ace to stare coldly up the ramp at a recovering Scythe who glares angrily back.
MATCH FIVE
Non-Title Singles Match
MONROE (N.A. ©) vs. Nacho Grande
Referee: Marcos Cruz
Details: As the cameras refocus for the next match, it is the North American Champion who makes his entrance first. The ever-intense and intimidating MONROE makes his way to the ring with the boos of the crowd following him all the way, but not one moment of acknowledgement with it. The second competitor finally makes his entrance and the crowd goes nuts, because it is none other than Nacho Grande. When Nacho comes out from the back it is clear he is not in the best of shape after his contest with Justin Kaard at Deadly Intentions 3. His ribs are bandaged and his right shoulder is taped up for support but Grande still doesn’t hesitate to bounce toward the ring, high-fiving many of the PCW Faithful as he goes.
Once Nacho climbs into the ring, Marcos Cruz signals for the bell and MONROE immediately begins to circle like a hyena around its prey. Nacho keeps his eyes on the North American Champ and tries to go for a quick double leg takedown but MONROE resists and locks in a Gutwrench, tightening around the injured ribs. Hauling him off the mat, MONROE drives Nacho down with a Gutwrench Suplex and pins for a mere one count. Nacho fights up to be met with a forearm strike, but Nacho hits back with one of his own that surprisingly knocks MONROE backwards. Nacho follows it by hitting a volley of shots and whipping his opponent across the ring, hitting a snap armdrag on the rebound. Jumping back to his feet, a stunned MONROE gets caught with another two armdrags and a running leg drop across the throat. A pin from Nacho gets a short one and he pulls MONROE back to his feet.
Despite his injured ribs, Nacho hits another salvo of chops and goes for an Irish whip but MONROE reverses. On the return, Nacho looks to jump forward into a flying elbow but MONROE catches him in a Bearhug and puts the pressure on the ribs again. The referee checks for a submission but before he gets an answer, MONROE throws Nacho across the ring with a shuddering Belly To Belly Suplex. Moving across the mat with speed, ‘The Star Destroyer’ locks in a leg-scissors around the waist and again the referee asks for a submission. Nacho fights back, managing to loosen the hold enough to turn and bundle MONROE up in a prawn hold pin that gets a two.
MONROE is forced to release the hold and gets to his feet, refocusing and placing Nacho in a headlock, hooking the arm and nailing a snap suplex. He rolls through, bringing Nacho back to his feet before driving him back down with a Pumphandle Gutbuster variation of the Gamera. Another pin garners a close fall and MONROE pulls Nacho up, only to whip him into the ropes. On the rebound, MONROE attempts a Back Body Drop but Nacho improvises in mid-air and turns in into a rolling Yoshi Tonic, keeping hold for a pin that almost earns him the win, but not quite. MONROE kicks out and climbs to his feet, hitting a sudden instinctive roundhouse kick to the head.
Nacho somehow manages to stay on his feet but stumbles around, allowing MONROE to grab him and set up for the ELE Brainbuster. Lifting Nacho high into the air, MONROE is about to drive him down when his target fights back, dropping out the back door and transitioning into another lucha-style armdrag. As Monroe gets to his feet, Nacho hits a boot to the gut and without hesitation hits the ‘New Kids Dance’. Nursing his injured ribs for a second, Nacho finally drops for the pin, hooking a leg to get only two and nine tenths.
Climbing to his feet, still favouring the midsection, Nacho signals to the fans and they get behind their gutsy hero wholeheartedly. Grande waits for MONROE to get to his feet before lifting him onto his shoulders and beginning to spin. The rotation gets faster and faster as Nacho prepares to hit the Eat Late Even Great… but his shoulder can’t cope with the weight on it and he drops MONROE, allowing the North American Champion the moment he needs to nails the Gamengiri kick. Before Nacho can hit the mat, MONROE grabs him and locks in the Anaconda Vice, torqueing hard on the arm and neck, giving Nacho no chance to catch his breath. Not wanting to risk further injury, Nacho smartly taps out and gives MONROE another impressive victory.
Winner: MONROE via Submission
Asshole No More?
Details: Standing over the fallen Nacho Grande, MONROE has a crazed look in his eyes and the fans seem unsure of what he will do next. Staff members slowly begin to pool up around the ring, not taking any chances after what happened at the previous weekend’s house show. MONROE takes notice of them, before looking towards the time keeper and motioning for his belt. Slowly, he approaches the ropes and snatches the North American championship away. Returning to the now recovering Nacho, MONROE watches as his opponent stir to his feet. The two exchange a tense gaze before MONROE simply points to Nacho and bows respectfully. The fans are unsure what to do with this and Nacho doesn’t seem to be too sure of what it means either.
MONROE quickly joists the North American championship into the air as “Numb” begins to play over the P.A. system. Slipping beneath the bottom rope, he backs his way up the ramp – his gaze never leaving Nacho Grande.
Bangarang
Details: ::The opening synth notes of Skrillex’s “Bangarang” come on the speakers. The camera pans around the crowd, giving random shots of confused fans. As the lyrics begin, a louder sound like the whipping whirl of a boomerang travels around the arena. It starts to the left of the PCW-tron and travels all the way around, skidding overtop the fans’ heads, reaching the screen at the moment the track drops.::
“BANGARANG!”
::The lyric appears on the screen, big and bold, then is replaced by a still-image of a blue boomerang, its arms curving upward to the top corners of the screen. In the space between the arms words form and fade. An unfamiliar voice rhymes them out, rapping with a hip-hop swag.::
“Next Trauma,
A Come-Backer,
Never Seen Before.
Be Ready,
Lucha-Em-Cee,
Breakin’ Down The Door!”
::The music fades and the speakers swell into a rush of sound that fills the air like the breeze in a car window at high speed. The boomerang spins on screen, stopping suddenly in the switched direction with the curve at the top and the arms pointing down. Bold letters appear on the surface of the ‘rang.::
RIKKASHOT
::The image disappears and the voice returns, a capella.::
“Comin’ at ya when ya least expect it!”
::Then it's silent. The fans chatter and chime with no clue how to react as the feed fades to commercial.::
MATCH SIX
Fatal Four-Way Match
Q vs. “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght vs. Andy D vs. Rick Majors
Referee: Eddie Lane
Details: The first of the four competitors to make his way out is the ever-unpredictable and bizarre Q, receiving a reaction of complete confusion from the PCW Faithful who have no idea how to respond to his antics. Following him is the always popular Andy D who bounces to the ring to the tune of ‘Hypest Hype’, relaxed and ready for the tough test ahead. Next out is the impressive newcomer Rick Majors who was runner up in the Deadly Rumble at Deadly Intentions, and the confidence from that event is definitely with him as he makes his way to the ring. Finally, and perhaps inevitably, Mr Showtime makes his entrance and soaks in the atmosphere created by the other three men before leisurely strolling down the ramp and entering the squared circle.
Eddie Lane waits for all four men to be ready and signals for the bell, unleashing all four men to circle. As they do, Q’s eyes drift across the ring at Andy and Mr Showtime’s find Majors. Suddenly Q and Wryght dart across the ring at their chosen target and attack with a series of strikes. Q hits a volley of Knifehand strikes to the head of Andy while Showtime hits a collection of forearms that force Majors into the corner. Whipping Majors across the ring, Showtime charges and hits a flying elbow to the head while Q whips Andy across too. As Q rushes across, Andy lifts a boot and connects with the face.
When Andy comes out of the corner, Q sidesteps expertly and sends him straight toward Showtime who lashes out with a vicious European Uppercut. As Andy stumbles back, Q locks in a hammerlock and beckons Mr Showtime in to attack. As Wryght moves in, Andy lashes out with a boot and hits, then executes a jumping Snapmare on Q. Both Wryght and Q stand but Showtime is quickly removed by a clothesline from a recovered Majors, sending him over the top. As Q climbs to his feet, Majors attacks from behind with a forearm to the lower back and both he and Andy D grab an arm and whip him into the ropes.
On the rebound, Majors and D go for a double Back Body Drop but Q improvises in mid-air and lands on his feet on the apron. While Majors takes a moment to play to the fans, Andy turns to see Q hanging precariously and charges… but the single-letter superstar pulls down the top rope, sending Andy crashing to the outside. Q climbs back inside and turns Majors around, executing a ‘Heaven and Earth’ throw that drops his opponent to the mat. Grabbing his legs, Q looks to go for the Giant Swing but out of nowhere comes Mr Showtime with a shuffle side kick to the gut. Before Q can recover, Wryght hits a Hangman’s Neckbreaker and pins for a two count.
All three men get to their feet in the middle and exchange blows; Q with chops to the neck, Showtime with forearms and Majors with elbow smashes. Around in a circle they go until Majors comes out on top, knocking Q away and focusing then on Showtime. Whipping him into the ropes, Majors hits a high clothesline and pins for a two. As Q recovers he moves in to target the impressive newcomer and grabs him… but both men are caught unawares by a flying figure springing off the top rope. Out of nowhere comes Andy D with a flying Double Dropkick, sending both men tumbling to the mat.
With Q struggling to get to his feet, Andy feeds off the new energy of the fans and climbs to the top rope, looking over his shoulder from the inside to check his opponent. Once Q stands fully, Andy throws himself backwards with a spectacular Moonsault Press only for Q to again evade the hit, instead sending Mr. D crashing into Mr Showtime instead. Before Q has a chance to get back into the action, Majors comes from behind and grabs him around the waist in an attempted German Suplex. Q fights it and manages to rush into a corner, ducking in time to miss the turnbuckles but send Majors sternum first into the top buckle.
Majors struggles for breath as Q sees that he and Majors are the only two left standing. Suddenly, and to the surprise of the PCW Faithful, the mysterious Q sprints at full pelt at the ropes and rebounds with a shuddering POUNCE that sends Majors flying across the ring. The fans are stunned into silence as the unconventional man watches, frowning as if depressed at the damage he just inflicted.
His reaction is such that it gives Andy and Showtime a chance to recover but as Showtime attacks, Andy hangs back. As Showtime puts a hand on Q’s shoulder to turn him around, Q reacts instinctively and executes an Aikido Hip Throw that brings Andy into play again. This time Andy teams with Q, both men whipping Mr Showtime across the ring and whipping him out with a devastating Legsweep/Dropkick combo that really gets the fans going. The unlikely alliance continues with their offensive, pulling Showtime up and Irish Whipping him again. This time Q goes low, allowing Andy to pull the top rope down to send Wryght to the outside.
Mr Showtime manages to cling to the ropes though, and watches as Andy executes the Dragon’s Bite Shining Wizard on Q. Before Andy D can pin, Michael Wryght climbs inside and catches the fan favourite off guard with The Sweetness, a jaw-shattering Head-and-Arm Stunner. He is about to pin for a most-certain three count when Rick Majors emerges, still woozy but lucid enough to spot an opportunity, and rolls him up in a School Boy Pin.
One…
Two…
THREE!
Mr Showtime kicks out at the last moment… but Eddie Lane signals for the bell, awarding the victory to Rick Majors to the stunned delight of the fans, and the frustration of Wryght. As a replay flashes up on the screen it is still unclear if the part owner of PCW got a shoulder up in time or not.
Winner: Rick Majors via Pinfall
You’re Fired!
Details: As ‘Demons’ by Sleigh Bells hits the PA System and Rick Majors makes a victorious departure from ringside, Mr Showtime can only look on at Eddie Lane with compete bemusement at what just happened. He can be seen muttering three words to himself at first and then with increasing volume at the PCW Official. “I… Kicked… Out!”
Eddie Lane is adamant that the three count was made perfectly and that Rick Majors won fair and square, but Wryght continues to ‘explain’ to the dim-witted referee that he must have been mistaken. Still the referee refuses to repeal his decision and Mr Showtime’s anger is clear for all to see. Hastily he moves to the side of the ring and asks for a microphone, getting one quickly from a stagehand for fear of upsetting his boss.
As the music stops and Wryght walks to within a couple of inches of a concerned looking Eddie Lane, the part-owner lift the mic to his lips and explains in no uncertain terms… “YOU’RE FIRED!”
Before Lane can say or do anything in his defence, Mr Showtime drops the mic to the mat and exits the ring, walking to the back without so much as wishing Eddie Lane the best in his future endeavours.
