Trauma 165: 4-Year Anniversary Show Results

[Rick Majors]

Tuesday January 20, 2015

The first Trauma of 2015 begins with a video package highlighting the four years of matches and memories that have taken place in PCW since it returned on January 18, 2011. Victories, defeats, triumphs, tragedies, highs and lows from the past four years play out on screen, showcasing all that PCW has been through since its relaunch. Stars past and present are shown as the epic history of PCW to this point plays out on screen.

As the video package ends, the scene cuts to a sold out PCW Arena. Members of the rapid PCW Faithful are on their feet cheering and celebrating this event. The shot then focuses on the announce table and PCW's announce team: Jerry Andrews and Ace Anderson.

Jerry Andrews: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the fourth anniversary of the relaunch of PCW Trauma! I'm Jerry Andrews and with me is my broadcast partner Ace Anderson!

Ace Anderson: Thanks Jerry. Welcome everyone to what should be another explosive episode of PCW Trauma!

Jerry Andrews: On the celebration of our anniversary, there's a scent of 'new car smell' in the air, and it might have something to do with Whitey Ford no longer being Champion!

Ace Anderson: But Whitey Ford will be in action tonight! He's going to face punishment from PCW President Frank Foley in the form of a two-on-one handicap match!

Jerry Andrews: And he is not happy about it!

Ace Anderson: Is he ever really happy about anything?

Jerry Andrews: Good point. To celebrate our anniversary in style, we've got an outstanding card featuring two epic main event matches for you tonight! You'll see PCW Champion Sadistic and the Black Hand in a six-person tag team match against Derek Cosmos, Stacy Jones and Seth Archer! Plus, kicking things off with a bang, we have a special 'Four-Year Anniversary Championship Showcase' to start the show!

Ace Anderson: Three PCW champions all in one ring against one another! I can't wait!

Jerry Andrews: You won't have to! It's happening now!

Non-Title Triple Threat: Four-Year Anniversary Championship Showcase
Nathan Saniti (International ©) vs. "The Bear" Cory Steel (Underground ♚) vs. Justin "Stormm" Michaels (North American ©)
Referee: Charles Lim

The lights go red and black, signaling the start of the Championship Showcase! School bells ring as “Heaven Knows” by The Pretty Reckless growls through the PA system. What looks to be a 6'4”, 290 pound living, breathing bear emerges from the back and stands at the top of the ramp. Raising his head, Cory Steel peers out at the crowd before dropping his bear cowl to the ground and heading for the ring.

Jerry Andrews: There he is, Ace. The KING of the Underground! The first to enter into this Championship Showcase.

Ace Anderson: Word from the back is that Steel is suffering from flu-like symptoms.

Jerry Andrews: Now that you mention it, he does look a bit pale. Ever the competitor, Steel won't let illness keep him down.

With Steel in the ring, the lights dim and the sound of falling rain patters out of the speakers. An orange fog rolls out from the entrance, followed by a roar of thunder! The fans are already on their feet as “Crash” by Decyfer Down hits. The PCW North American Champion emerges from the back drawing a large pop from his legions of fans. He makes his way down to the ring, giving a salute to Jerry and Ace along the way, but he appears a bit pale, too.

Ace Anderson: And I've also heard that...surprise, surprise...Michaels is also suffering from flu-like symptoms. There must be a bug going around.

Jerry Andrews: These aren't amateurs, Ace. These are professionals. The best of the best. PCW's champions! Miserable or not, the show must go on!

Michaels and Steel eye each other cautiously as psychedelic purple and green lights begin flashing along the entrance area. "White Rabbit" by Collide begins to dance out of the speakers. Sauntering out from the back like a true gentleman, Nathan Saniti is met with a loud and favorable reaction from the PCW Faithful. He tips his top hat to the fans before making his way to the ring. Midway down the ramp, smoke begins to envelope Saniti. Tossing his hat into the ring, it begins to hover while smoke spews out! No matter how many times they've seen it, it never fails to impress! Nathan magically emerges from the smoke in the ring, even causing Steel and Michaels to acknowledge the impressive feat.

Jerry Andrews: Ever the illusionist, the new International Champion has made yet another impressive appearance. It's time to get down to business!

After all of the required pre-match merriment, referee Charles Lim calls for the bell. There is a bit of a feeling out period as none of the three want to make the first move and leave themselves vulnerable. The largest of the trio, Cory Steel, fires the first shot and charges Michaels. Stormm is driven back into the corner by the Bear, but Saniti isn't far behind. The beginning of the match is a revolving door of blindside attacks upon blindside attacks, with no one man being able to claim an advantage.

Fatigue appears to be setting in upon both Stormm and Steel while Saniti still appears to be strong and hearty. Cursed flu! It is at this point that Nathan takes control of the bout. He is quite generous in his distribution, doling out a Whirling Dervish here and a Shaken Baby Syndrome there. Michaels and the Bear are on their heels. Saniti hits the March Hare Hop on Cory before locking in the Cheshire Grin submission! Luckily, Stormm is there to make the save! Steel is able to recover and eventually joins Stormm in hurling Saniti from the ring! Both men are sweating quite profusely and look rather weak.

Jerry Andrews: The illness is clearly taking its toll on both men.

Steel acts first and catches Michaels off guard with a clothesline. The Bear unleashes heavy fists on the North American Champion, using his size and power to his advantage. However, Stormm is able to duck beneath a wild haymaker and connect with a German suplex! The crowd erupts. Justin stalks his prey before locking him in for the Force of Nature! But...Stormm is too weak to lift the near 300-pounder! Cory powers out and unleashes on Michaels with Steel Hands, a vicious combination of punches that decimates his foe! Stormm is down and out! But Saniti is up and in!

Bouncing around the ring in a flurry, Nathan floors the Bear with a springboard flipping plancha! Saniti back handsprings onto the second turnbuckle and connects with a twisting moonsault onto Cory before dropping a twisting legdrop onto Michaels. Saniti is nearly a blur in the ring! Steel is slowly back to his feet, but he's dropped once more by Saniti's Unreality Check, followed by a cover. Michaels attempts to crawl over and make the save, but it's too late. Saniti secures the three-count!

Ace Anderson: An impressive win by the International Champion, Nathan Saniti, in this Championship Showcase!

Nathan celebrates in the ring as the fans cheer him on.

Winner: Nathan Saniti via Pinfall @ 13:20

FOUR YEARS AGO January 18, 2011 (A globe, looking much like Earth, spins softly to give the viewers their opening feed. As the sphere spins, a voice-over can be heard.) Voice: For years, fans were left without their heroes… (The image of the globe switches over to live-action clips of PCW Superstars. The footage seen is of Pegasus dancing as “Playa Pegz,”, Grimm reversing an Elvish Tale from Lantlas into a Harvest, and “Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth rocking out with some air guitar.) Voice: …And with their absence, a void was left needing to be fulfilled…. (The feed transitions into images of dejected fans standing outside of an empty Pure Class Arena, a sign hanging from its roof over the front of the building reading, “Closed.”) Voice: …But with time comes growth and wisdom… (The feed now transitions into live-action clips of more PCW Superstars. The footage that is now being shown is Non Compos Mentis standing victorious after winning the first ever PCW Hardcore Hell Match, “The Prophet” Marcus Murdoc walking down the aisle, and of Ace Anderson brutalizing Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith with an Exemplifier onto a chair.) Voice: …And the ability to start afresh… (The feed once again transitions into another live-action video clip of PCW Superstars performing at various promotions before they signed with Pure Class Wrestling. This time, the footage being shown is of Mike Park Soul Super Kick on a random opponent, Arik Ash dancing on the Disney Channel, and Usali Basilisk reading through his Book of Ascension.) Voice: …Welcome back, as the PCW is revived once again… (The feed now transitions back to the image of the spinning globe. With every passing millisecond, the speed of which the globe had been spinning increases. When it seems to reach the maximum speed, it starts to violently shake and convulse. Suddenly, the globe explodes. The particles of the Earth dart out every which way onto the screen, and as a large fragment makes it way towards the camera, the feed switches to a live shot of the Pure Class Arena. “Survival of the Sickest” by Saliva begins to play and a massive pyrotechnics display occurs throughout the arena. The camera begins to pan the live crowd, catching numerous fan signs throughout its progress. Some of the more notable signs read: “PCW LIVES,” “I Fear Grimm,” “King of Hardcore,” “Welcome Back LoKi” and, “I'm A Scene Kid!” As “Survival of the Sickest” continues to play, the camera switches focus to Jerry Andrews and his brand new broadcast partner, Al Laiman, at the broadcast table, where they open up the show.) Jerry Andrews: Welcome ladies and gentleman to PCW Tuesday Night Trauma! I'm Jerry Andrews and to my left is my new broadcast colleague Al Laiman! Al Laiman: It's good to be in the commentary booth, and it's even better to see Pure Class Wrestling back in action! I'm "Universal" Al Laiman, your new commentator. Great to be with you, Jerry. Jerry Andrews: Great to have you, Al. ... Match Seven: Triple Threat Match “The Prophet” Marcus Murdoc vs. Non Compos Mentis vs. Grimm Referee: Tyrone Little The entire match saw the two battle almost equally, and they both put their body at risk with high-impact moves and intense physicality. Murdoc stayed true to his cause, and did not interrupt in the proceedings of the match. He also did not say another word at the commentary desk, even with the urging of Al Laiman and Jerry Andrews. It was at the ninteen minute mark when the match was really decided. Non Compos Mentis was in good position to win the match, but randomly, as he was about to hoist Grimm up for the Fractured Mind, he began to shake his head in pain; it looked as if he was suffering from a migraine, as he dropped Grimm and grasped his head. NCM slouched in the corner, still holding his head, and Grimm used this moment of opportunity to his advantage. When Grimm noticed the position NCM was in, he quickly rushed the corner, scaled the turnbuckle, and delivered The Harvest on Non Compos Mentis; drilling his head into the mat. Grimm quickly made the pin, and, at the 20 minute and 22 second mark, Grimm picked up the victory. Winner(s): Grimm via pinfall ...Grimm looked down on NCM and Murdoc issued a small golf clap before the feed fades out. *CLICK*

Tuesday Night Trauma returns from commercial break to find PCW President Frank Foley standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.

Frank Foley: Ladies and gentlemen...PCW Faithful...allow me to introduce to you your NEW PCW World Champion...”The Phenom” Billy Sadistic!

“God's Gonna Cut You Down” by Johnny Cash starts up and the boos are sudden and immediate. There is a hint of a smile on Foley's face...possibly due to that fact that Whitey Ford no longer holds the gold.

*STOMP* *CLAP* *STOMP* *CLAP*

Sadistic makes his way out from the back sans his stablemates. Walking down to the ring, Billy glares out into the crowd wide-eyed and twitching. Despite the negative reaction from the Faithful, there is an audible number stomping and clapping to the music. Upon reaching the ring, Foley is able to get a good look at the PCW World Championship belt. Sure enough, it is nice and shiny. Only...a black painted handprint has been slapped right across the nameplate.

*STOMP* *CLAP* *STOMP* *CLAP*

Sadistic takes the opportunity to thrust the belt into the air with both hands. More booing. The music slowly fades out.

Frank Foley: Congratulations, Billy. That was a hard-fought match and a well-earned victory at Deadly Intentions V.

Foley tilts the microphone towards the champion, but he just stares back at him with those big green eyes.

Frank Foley: Okay. Well, I must say that while I have no agenda against Whitey Ford, it is certainly a breath of fresh air to have a new World Champion. I know that people might consider you both “bad” guys, but at least you'll be a bit easier to work with...

To this, Billy takes exception. His voice is deep and raspy with a hint of a Southern twang.

Billy Sadistic: “Bad” guys? Naw, man. Billy Sadistic? The Black Hand? We ain't bad guys. We may have done some awful things to some wicked people, but that don't make us bad. It makes us necessary.

To this, the crowd takes exception, and they let the champion know.

Billy Sadistic: Who're y'all trying to fool? What's good an' what's bad is debatable, but there ain't no debatin' that everything the Black Hand has done has been RIGHT! What? Were you sad when we put Eira on the shelf? Are you upset that we've rid Pure Class Wrestling of that monster, Murdoc?!

There is a mixed reaction from the fans.

Billy Sadistic: Marcus Murdoc. The same Marcus Murdoc that used to burn living, human flesh on the regular and commit acts heinous and unmentionable?! You mourn HIS departure?! Gimme a break, man...

Frank Foley: Now, I've heard you comment on several occasions that you're not here to destroy PCW. On the contrary, you're here in the best interest of it.

Billy Sadistic: I'm afraid that's where you're wrong, Mr. Foley. The Black Hand couldn't give a DAMN about Pure Class Wrestling. It is but a vehicle to carry our message. We're here in the best interest of the Brothers and Sisters out there in the crowd that have joined the cause. All that stompin' and clappin' you hear every time we come out here? That ain't no fluke, man. That's the beginning of a movement. An uprising. The dawn of the Awakening.

Frank Foley: All due respect, Mr. Sadistic, as the World Championship does belong to you, but this is starting to sound like some sort of cult.

Again, the reaction of the fans is mixed at best as Billy trains his eyes on PCW's President.

Billy Sadistic: All due respect, Mr. Foley, but this World Championship belongs to the Black Hand! And the Black Hand, I can assure you, ain't no cult. We are a movement. We have no followers. We've only Brothers and Sisters in the name of cause. And we are very real.

Frank Foley: I don't doubt your validity. I question your motives.

Billy Sadistic: YOU question OUR motives? Is that supposed to be funny?

Sadistic rips the microphone from Foley's hand and addresses the crowd.

Billy Sadistic: Aren't you people TIRED of settling for your feeble little lot in life? TIRED of scraping just to get by?! You were meant to do so much more, and yet you're content to grovel for scraps! You JUMP when they say JUMP! You CRAWL when they say CRAWL! You shell out your hard-earned money to pay for a ticket to come to THIS show so you can be distracted by all of the nice, shiny things we have here and take your attention off all those things that really matter! It makes me SICK that you shovel out money to feed the machine and buy your Andy D bucket hats, your Derek Cosmos t-shirts, and your...your Justin Michaels foam fingers! And while those royalties must be nice, we ain't here to get rich. We're here to make a change. Eira! Whitey Ford! Nathan Saniti! Anyone that tries to get in our way is gonna get run over! The time...it's a comin'. And you're all gonna have to pick a side.

Sadistic looks at a visually flabbergasted Frank Foley and flashes him a grin.

Billy Sadistic: I advise you choose soon. After all, you'll never be as young as you are tonight, man.

Sadistic hands the microphone back to Foley. The President recomposes himself before he continues.

Frank Foley: And your running mates, Grimm and Showtime, where are they? What do they have to say about this?

Billy Sadistic: Their views are my views, and my views are their views, because our views are the Black Hand's views. And as always, they're just a power outage away...

Sadistic gives a deep, raspy chuckle before snapping his fingers. Promptly, the lights go black. Moments later, when the lighting resumes, Billy Sadistic is nowhere to be seen.

Foley is left standing in the ring by himself. He is about to leave the ring himself when "Bad Man" by Bobaflex starts to play throughout the arena.

Ace Anderson: Oh man...

Jerry Andrews: This won't be good for Foley.

Ace Anderson: This probably won't be good for any of us.

Whitey Ford storms down to the ring as strobe lights and the PCWtron flash white light to the beat of the bass drum. Whitey is glaring at Frank Foley as he rolls under the bottom rope and into the ring. Ford grabs the microphone out of Foley’s hand and starts to speak.

Whitey Ford: Hey Foley, you want to punish me? Then punish me. I’m sick of waiting. Bring those two jerks out here and let’s get on with it!

Foley again tries to leave the ring but Ford steps right in front of him, blocking his way.

Whitey Ford: I’m not asking, you piece of crap. Bring them out now and start the match. Let’s get this over with!

Jerry Andrews: Come on! That's the president of the company he's talking to!

Frank Foley is visibly intimidated by the former PCW Champion. He takes a step back and calls for a referee from the back. Foley then points to the ramp, signalling for Ford’s opponents. There’s a brief delay while everyone gets organized and then "10000 Watts of Artificial Pleasure" by Dope Stars Inc. begins to play. Only at that point does Ford let Foley leave the ring.

Handicap Match
Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith & Alexa Black vs. Whitey Ford
Referee: Manny Cruz

The lights flicker and fade out as the pulsating beats of Dope Star Inc's "10000 Watts of Artificial Pleasure" pops on the PA system. Smoke fills the arena as a figure stands in the middle of it. All the sudden, Crazy Boy comes out of the smoke and pumps a fist in the air. He walks down the entryway and climbs the ropes of the ring. He bounces around the ropes a few times, pumps his fist in the air one last time and waits for his partner.

The crowd looks to the entrance way as “Black Widow” by In This Moment roars out and they know who is coming out from backstage and they start booing loudly almost drowning out the music.

Alexa Black steps through the curtain her face lit up with a wicked smile
She walks slowly down the ramp as the booing intensifies as the PCW faithful don't hold back their hatred of this evil woman.

She mocks the crowd and badmouth fans on the way using various profanity which has to be bleeped out. She sees a kid at ringside and rips up his sign with a laugh.

As she continues to walk down to the ring as the crowd grows louder and louder so even the announcers can't get a word in over the booing.
She reaches the ring and Alexa climbs up on the ring apron
She enters the ring and the crowd starts throwing rubbish at her . Food and cups of beer fly in from all directions but she simply doesn't care.
The music fades out as Alexa stays in the ring

“Ladies and gentlemen the following handicap match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...”

The introductions get cut short as Whitey Ford charges across the ring and attacks his two opponents. He manages to get the upper hand for a brief while, even knocking both opponents down at various times. However, the numbers game eventually gets the better of him and Black and Smith start to take control.

Jerry Andrews: Frank Foley wanted to put Whitey Ford in his place by putting him in this match but I don’t think Ford is about to start listening to Foley, given what we saw just a few minutes ago.

Ace Anderson: Me neither, but Whitey Ford is in trouble right now. Alexa Black and Crazy Boy are firmly in control of this contest right now.

Jerry Andrews: Remember though, this is a tag match. Black and Smith aren’t supposed to both be in the ring at once. Manny Cruz needs to get this contest under control.

Ace Anderson: Ha! Good luck!

Finally Cruz manages to get Crazy Boy out of the ring and we’re at a one-on-one situation with Alexa Black facing off against Whitey Ford. The two lock up and Ford knees her in the stomach. With Black doubled over, Whitey Ford hits her with a DDT. He goes for a quick cover and gets a two count.

Ford pulls Black back up to her feet. She shoves him backwards and very quickly hits him with a kick to the stomach. Ford drops to one knee. Black then runs and hits him with a drive by kick to the head! He crumbles to the mat. Black goes for a cover, but Ford kicks out.

Alexa Black stands up and she tags in Crazy Boy.

Jerry Andrews: And a tag by Alexa. You have to wonder how these two will coexist as a team here tonight.

Ace Anderson: Well, they have a two-on-one advantage, so that might be enough to keep them happy with one another.

Smith enters the ring just as Ford gets to his feet. The two opponents immediately start exchanging blows. Strong right forearms fly from each competitor before Ford manages to back Tyrone Smith into the corner. Ford then leaps up with a dropkick, but Crazy Boy side-steps it and Whitey Ford hits the canvas.

Smith drops an elbow, but Ford rolls out of the way and Smith hits the mat. Ford gets back to his feet quickly and he starts to unload on Crazy Boy with a series of stomps. He then pulls Crazy Boy up and Irish whips him across the ring. Crazy Boy reverses it and he throws Ford off of the ropes. As Ford rebounds, Smith drops him with a clothesline. Smith then runs the ropes himself and delivers a leg drop. Once again Ford rolls out of the way and again Smith hits the canvas.

Ford now stands up. He waits for Crazy Boy to get to his feet and then he hits him with a running dropkick to the face. Crazy Boy is sent crumbling to the mat. Ford goes for a cover but he only gets two.

Whitey Ford pulls Crazy Boy up, but Crazy Boy drives his shoulder into Ford’s midsection, doubling him over. Crazy Boy then delivers an uppercut then leaps up and hits a jumping heel kick.

He then makes his way over to his corner and tags in Alexa Black. Black enters the ring as Ford is pulling himself up using the ropes. As he gets up and turns around, she quickly connects with a Facebreaker kick to the face!

Jerry Andrews: Boom! What a kick!

Ace Anderson: And a cover....

Jerry Andrews: .... but Ford kicks out before three!

Black pulls Ford up and she throws him into the corner. She then charges at him, driving her shoulder into his mid-section. Ford slumps down on the canvas. She pulls him up, but he suddenly grabs her around the waist, spins around and hits a snap German suplex! Ford gets to his feet. Black gets up and walks towards him. He drops her with a big spinebuster! Ford with a cover!

And Crazy Boy breaks up the pin!

Ford is on his feet. He starts swinging wildly at Crazy Boy as the referee tries to gain control of the match. Suddenly, Alexa Black grabs Ford from behind and she rolls him up!

1.....
2.....

Jerry Andrews: She got him!

Ace Anderson: No!

The referee holds his hand up, signalling that it was only a two count. Crazy Boy is back on the apron now and Alexa Black tags him into the match. Crazy Boy attacks Ford immediately, beating on him before he can even get back to his feet.

Suddenly, there’s a disturbance at ringside. Three men in white coats approach Alexa Black as she’s standing on the apron. She has her back turned to them, so she doesn’t notice the men until they grab her and pull her down from the apron.

Jerry Andrews: What in the hell!?

Alexa Black struggles, fighting to get away from the men, but they overpower her and drag her away from the ringside area and into the crowd.

Ace Anderson: What is going on here!?

Meanwhile, inside the ring, Whitey Ford kicks Tyrone Smith in the chest. He sets him up and drops him with a Backtoss Piledriver!

Whitey Ford rolls Crazy Boy over and.... the bell rings!?

Jerry Andrews: What!?

Everyone looks confused, including the referee. There are several seconds of confusion. At ringside, Frank Foley has a short discussion with the announcer and the timekeeper. Moments later, the official announcement is made:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control regarding Alexa Black, in the interest of fairness to all competitors, this contest is being stopped and restarted!”

Whitey Ford is irate. He stands up and starts screaming at Foley who is seated at ringside. Foley has almost no reaction to Ford but he asks for the bell to be rung once more, signifying that the match has been restarted.

Whitey Ford doesn’t care. He continues his tirade against Foley and is about to leave the ring to confront him when Crazy Boy grabs Ford from behind! He sets him up and drops him with a Crazy Slam!

1....
2....
3!!!

Jerry Andrews: What did I just witness!?

Ace Anderson: I’m not entirely sure, but Crazy Boy just pinned Whitey Ford!

Crazy Boy celebrates inside the ring as Frank Foley stands up and walks away from ringside.

Winners: Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith & Alexa Black via Pinfall @ 11:35

THREE YEARS AGO January 17, 2012 MAIN EVENT Non-Title Singles Match LoKi (World ©) vs. Non Compos Mentis Referee: Tyrone Little ... NCM is face down on the mat, and LoKi drops down and locks in Broken Wings! They are in the center of the ring and this leaves NCM in a bad spot. Instead of trying to get to the ropes, he uses his strength to fight back. Eventually he makes it to a vertical base and using the arm that is locked in the submission, he slams LoKi down hard on his back! NCM is hurting, but continues to press. As LoKi slowly starts to sit up, Non Compos Mentis bounces off the ropes and delivers a wicked Psychotic Break! He goes for the pin. 1....2.....3 NO! Once again LoKi barely kicks out, and NCM slams his fists on the mat in frustration! Mentis is in the referees face now, uttering some not so friendly for television words at Tyrone Little, but the referee stands firm behind his decision. While NCM has been arguing with Tyrone, LoKi slowly rolls to the outside. Rhodes and Tyrone Little take notice of LoKi as he grabs his belt and heads up the ramp. The crowd is booing now, and Tyrone Little is just as confused as the rest of them, but has no choice but to start a ten count. NCM begins yelling at LoKi as he is backpedaling up the ramp with a devious look on his face. NCM holds on to the ropes and emphatically beckons for LoKi to come back into the ring so they can finish the match, but it is no use as Tyrone Little finishes counting LoKi out, and Non Compos Mentis can only wonder what the hell is going on. Winner: Non Compos Mentis via countout (Non Compos Mentis stands in the ring the victor, but he's clearly not happy with the way the match ended. His glare could burn a hole through LoKi.) Jerry Andrews: What has gotten into LoKi? He's done a complete 180. From hero to villain. Al Laiman: He's started looking out for number one. (With a smirk on his face, LoKi looks deliberately at NCM. It's obvious he could care less about the countout loss. Just as he turns to exit through the curtain, he comes face to face with the Elven Warrior!) Jerry Andrews: There's Lantlas! (The fans erupt as Lantlas and LoKi stare deep into each others' eyes. You can cut the tension with a knife. Just as things are about to get ugly...) *CLICK*

Backstage, Fraizer Knight and Samson Cage are seen walking into the arena when they're stopped by Shane Dodge.

Shane Dodge: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, a few questions if I may...?"

The two large men stop and turn their attention to Dodge.

Shane Dodge: "Thank you. First of all, did you see what happened with Alexa Black tonight?"

Fraizer Knight: "Yes we did."

Shane Dodge: "And do you have any thoughts about it?"

Samson Cage: "You know, Alexa has a lot of stuff from her past that can come back and haunt her at any time."

Shane Dodge: "Such as....?"

Fraizer Knight: "Do you have any warrants out for your arrest?"

Shane Dodge: "No. Of course not."

Fraizer Knight: "Well, from what we've heard, she does."

Samson Cage: "And maybe someone found that out and tried to have her taken away to get some help... for her own good, of course."

Shane Dodge: "But, why now? She's been on national television for MONTHS. If someone was looking for her, they could have found her a long time ago."

Fraizer Knight: "Money talks, Shane. Money talks."

Shane Dodge: "Whose money? Yours?"

Samson Cage: "Ha! Certainly not ours, man."

Fraizer Knight: "Nah, it's someone much bigger than that."

With that, the two men walk away from the scene as the show cuts to a video package.

We All Wear Masks....

A soft women's voice speaks to the fans at home as they're given a shot of a wrestling ring inside a dirty looking warehouse. Inside the ring, a man dressed in brilliant gold and white darts across the ring and crashes into the ropes. He rushes toward his waiting opponent and leaps into the air.

...The Mask of a Warrior...

The man in white wraps his legs around his opponents head and swings sideways through the air, using his hips to send the other man spinning head over heels to the mat. The opponent stands, clearly puzzled by the speed of the attacker as the man in white dashes across the ring again. There's a moment when his face flies by the camera, and for just a second it's a vision of white and gold before he jumps and dropkicks his opponent over the ropes.

...The Mask of a Hero.

He hits the ropes on the other side of the ring, building speed, and when he comes back in the other direction he moves quickly into a handspring. The moment he hits his feet he twists his body, leaping backward over the ropes and landing hard on his opponent with a devastating dive to the floor! The grace of it all is stunning. He moves like water, from flowing river to crashing tidal wave in a second. He drops to one knee on the floor, kneeling over a shattered opponent as the camera moves toward him.

But when your mask comes off...

The camera pans around to the front where the man in white looks up from his opponent. He wears a white mask, with gold designs winding up and down around his face. But even with the mask, one can tell how intensely he's staring into the camera.

Who will you be underneath?

The scene cuts to black and we're left with some simple text on the screen:

LIGHT.
COMING SOON.

Singles Match
Gem vs. Eira
Referee: Joseph Buckland

The dignified fanfare and massed vocals of Two Steps from Hell’s "Archangel" overture sounds throughout the arena as Gem appears at the top of the ramp . As the full orchestral power soars out over the PCW Faithful, she makes her way down the ramp. The Queen of the Underground gracefully acknowledging her fans, gliding her hands along their outstretched reach, occasionally offering a smile or murmured word of appreciation. Triumphant feminine vocals with a counterpoint of intense, percussive choral support joins the music as Gem approaches the ring, her gaze tightening on her goal. Her trademark focus comes to the fore as she ascends the steps and wipes her feet on the apron, stepping between the ropes and stretching out as she waits for the match to begin.

"Introducing first: Gem!"

The arena lights lower to a shadowed dimness as "Dystopic" by Position Music begins to play over the PCW speakers. The somber opening notes soon joined by a heavy drumbeat, gradually augmented into what sounds like a full orchestra. At 0:41 when the vocals begin, a 20 foot pillar of purple flame explodes out of the center of the stage, the roaring fire screaming up to the rafters as smaller flames burst alight and race towards the ring. The conflagration dies down, and twin purple spotlights angle in to reveal Eira. She stands absolutely motionless for a few seconds, her left leg with its gleaming, spiked black metal knee brace crossed in front of the right; arms outstretched and head tipped back in a mockery of the Crucifixion. She lowers her arms and walks towards the ring, her relentless stride perfectly in sync with the heavy background beat, following the trail of flickering purple flames to either side of her path.

While Eira keeps her primary focus on her goal, she offers an occasional smile or nod in response to fans on her way to down the ramp. Reaching ringside, Eira slowly ascends the stairs and walks to mid-apron ... wiping her feet before slipping between the ropes to enter. Swinging her long, silvery white braid behind her, she remains absolutely still and waits with predatory focus for the match to begin.

"And her opponent: Eira!"

Winner: Eira via Pinfall @ 19:41

Eira rises to her feet as "Dystopic" plays throughout the arena. Eira is breathing heavily from the tough contest that she just competed in. Gem sits up slowly on the canvas. She looks down at the mat in disappointment. Eira looks down at her. When Gem looks up, Eira looks right at her and nods, acknowledging the effort and skill that was on display tonight.

Gem slowly gets to her feet and she looks at Eira. She returns the nod of appreciation and leaves the ring so Eira can celebrate her victory.

Backstage, Shane Dodge is once again running, looking for a scoop. He catches up to PCW President Frank Foley just before Foley enters his personal office.

Shane Dodge: "Mr. Foley, Mr. Foley......"

Frank Foley: "Yes, Shane?"

Shane Dodge: "I was hoping to speak with you?"

Frank Foley: "What about?"

Shane Dodge: "Well, first of all, Whitey Ford. You restarted the handicap match when it looked like Ford was just about to claim victory. Why?"

Frank Foley: "Did you watch the match, Shane?"

Shane Dodge: "Yes sir."

Frank Foley: "Well then you know that Alexa Black was forcibly removed from the contest by several unknown men. It wasn't fair and it wasn't right to have that match continue under those circumstances. So I made the call to give everyone a break and allow them time to adapt to the changing situation before continuing to compete."

Shane Dodge: "I'm confused. Was it restarted as a signals match?"

Frank Foley: "Alexa Black did not remove herself from the contest. From what I can tell, she was taken away against her will. It wouldn't be fair of me to take a big victory like the one tonight away from her since she did nothing wrong. The record books will show that Tyrone Smith and Alexa Black were victorious."

Shane Dodge: "Sure, but, I mean, Whitey Ford had...."

Frank Foley: "This decision had nothing to do with Whitey Ford. It had everything to do with ensuring a fair contest. I'm sorry if Whitey Ford feels that I did him wrong, but that was not the intent."

Shane Dodge: "Okay. Now, Alexa Black. Do you have any idea as to what happened with her?"

Frank Foley: "Alexa Black may have made some mistakes in the past, but she is a valued member of the PCW Family. I am not sure what happened to her tonight, but I hope that she is alright and safe. Knowing a bit about her past, all of us here at PCW have always done whatever we can to protect Alexa."

Shane Dodge: "Does that mean you know something about who has been paying off the authorities to leave her alone?"

Frank Foley: "You certainly love your conspiracy theories, don't you?"

With that, Frank Foley heads into his office and shuts the door.

TWO YEARS AGO January 5th, 2013 MAIN EVENT Non-Title Tag Team Match Sean Rhodes (World ©) & Grimm vs. "THE Asshole" Whitey Ford (INT ©) & "Mr. Showtime" Michael Wryght Referee: Eddie Lane ... Grimm and Whitey going at it now, Whitey catches Grimm from behind with an eye rake that leaves him staggering. Whitey snapping off a violent kick to the back of Grimm’s head, Grimm drops to a knee. Whitey knows that he has to take it to Grimm in order to have a chance at conquering the beast. Grimm fighting with Whitey every step of the way, back and forth ... tooth and nail ... neither man backing down. It’s a battle of iron wills ... but unfortunately, in this one instance? Grimm’s is stronger and he manages to drop Whitey with a burst shoulderblock, leaving Grimm close to his corner. Instead of tagging in Rhodes (as he is insisting Grimm does), Grimm grabs Whitey and whips him into the ropes. Whitey rebounding off, he ducks under a clothesline and manages to nail Grimm with a tilt-a-whirl hurricanrana that leaves him controlling the pace. Tagging in Showtime, Showtime quickly makes the pinfall attempt. Rhodes bursting in a breaking the three count up, the referee fights with Rhodes to get him out of the ring. Whitey ... always up to his tricks and afraid of a Grimm resurrection ... grabs a steel chair and begins creeping towards the ring. He tosses it to Showtime across the ring and blasts Grimm in the stomach with it, doubling him over. Holding up the chair in front of Grimm’s head, Whitey dashes into the ring and manages to crack Grimm with a skateboard-style dropkick that leaves Grimm laid out to dry on the ring ropes. The referee finally managing to get the vehemently protesting Sean Rhodes out of the ring, Rhodes takes it upon himself to chase Whitey down and proceeds to throw down with him on the outside. The referee chases the two down, while in the ring, Showtime is setting up for the Sweetness. Drilling Grimm with it, he casually lays himself across Grimm’s prone form ... his tag partner having to be separated from Whitey. The referee rushes back to the ring as soon as he sees the two legal men in a pinfall predicament. Rhodes rushing to the ring as well, the referee hits the ring and makes the count. 1 ... 2 ... Rhodes hits the ring ... ... 3! ... a split second too late and is unable to catch Showtime before the victory is awarded. As Rhodes hits the ring just in time to watch Grimm get pinned, Whitey is hot on his tail and grabs at Rhodes’ feet and trips him from the outside, leaving Showtime the chance to rush Rhodes and stomp at him without mercy. Whitey slides in and begins to lend a helping hand, even going so far as catching a reviving Grimm. Smothering the pair with violent stomps and strikes, the show ends on a note of violence ... Michael Wryght and Whitey Ford standing tall over Grimm and the World Champion! Winners: Michael Wryght and Whitey Ford via Pinfall After the bell rings, ‘Mr Showtime’ and Ford congregate in the middle of the ring and have their hands raised by Referee Lane. The two men share a mischievous look at each other and then down to the two PCW legends laying on the mat, clearly thinking evil thoughts yet again. With both the formidable Grimm and World Champion Rhodes out for the count and defenceless, the duo treat them like garbage and proceeds to dispose of them, kicking their bodies toward the ropes. The PCW responds with a chorus of deafening boos, getting loud enough to drown out the sound of two bodies hitting the outside with a dull thud. As if it’s possible, the boos grow to an unimaginable level when the first heavy guitar notes hit of the ominous ‘Back In Black’ by AC/DC. Sure enough, to the ire of the entire crowd, Skylar Marshall strolls out onto the stage and both remaining men in the ring look up to see him. Before they can react, Marshall simply raises his hands and begins to clap (albeit inaudibly because of the continued rapturous boos from the crowd) while shouting… nay screaming “BRAVO!” at the top of his voice. Inside the ring, Wryght and Ford smile at each other again and raise their hands as if to take applause from the baying crowd. The camera returns to the top of the stage and the imposing figure of Skylar Marshall once again shouting “BRAVO!” *CLICK*

TWO YEARS AGO February 11th, 2013 Main Event Non-Title Tag Team Match Andy D & Grimm (International ©) vs. Eira (World ©) & Non Compos Mentis Referee: Eddie Lane ... Andy unable to drag himself to the ropes, Grimm takes matters into his own hands and rushes in to drop an elbow to the world champ’s exposed head. The hold broken, the referee begins to force Grimm (and by force, I mean politely suggest Grimm go back to) his corner. Eira shaking the cobwebs loose, she moves to NCM and tags him in ... but a vital mistake and Andy is right near his own corner as soon as Grimm makes it outside. A tag on both sides, and it’s now NCM and GRIMM as the legal men! The two wading into each other, Grimm gets the quick upperhand and drops NCM with a huge bell clap followed by a series of sickening headbutts. Grimm dropping to NCM’s level, he begins to wail on the Hobo King. Unchecked shots from the Lord of Misrule and NCM is on dream street. Eira rushes in to assist but is met with a running shoulder block that sends her head-over-heels to the apron. Grimm picking NCM up, he drags him to a near turnbuckle and begins pounding the skull of NCM into the top pad. The fans start out counting, but soon grow tired of it after Grimm has bashed NCM’s brains in about 20 times. Finally, the referee interjects himself and forces Grimm off of NCM for only a moment. Grimm working NCM over with reckless abandon, Grimm forces NCM back into the corner and makes a quick tag to Andy D. Andy hopping over the top rope, the pair irish whip the Hobo King over back into his own corner. Grimm using momentum, he hurls Andy across the ring and watches as Andy lands a BEAUTIFUL Stinger Splash on NCM! But there’s Eira ... making the sneaky on the back tag that the referee calls but Andy and Grimm are unaware of. NCM stuck in the corner, Eira can wait no longer and rushes Grimm ... forcing him back into and THROUGH the ropes. An out of nowhere attack as Andy is focused on the ‘legal’ man, NCM. As Andy goes to drag NCM from the corner, Eira is behind Andy and hops onto his shoulders ... falling back and landing an earth-shaking reverse hurricanrana! Eira falling over Andy, the referee drops to make the count! 1! 2! ... 3! The bell rings and Grimm is unable to get back into the ring in time to save the match. Winners: NCM and Eira As the crowd lets out a strange mix of boos and cheers, Eira stands in the center of the ring ... hand raised high. NCM struggling to his feet while Andy rolls to the ring and Grimm is leaving the area with a less-than-thrilled look on his face, Eira is celebrating the surprise victory when suddenly ... ATTACK! NCM is on top of her and pounding away on Eira after a well fought victory! The beatdown is vicious ... violent ... and savage. The crowd boos NCM but lets fly a cheer as ... Murdoc emerges from the back? The crowd is cheering MURDOC?! Maybe they just don’t want to see such a closely contested match such as this one to end this way. Maybe they’re all drunk. Who knows? Whatever the case may be, NCM stands and watches as Murdoc approaches the ring. He gets to the ringside area and NCM lets out a shrill whistle. And from under the ring, like the rats they are, the Horde approacheth! Murdoc making it into the ring before the Horde can grab him, he makes a beeline straight for NCM! Managing to shove NCM back into the corner with definitive force, he rolls Eira out of the ring and is on the verge of escaping with her when they strike. The unwashed masses descending upon Murdoc, he’s fighting valiantly ... tooth and nail. But even Murdoc cannot fend off this number and soon is buried under a pulsating sea of flesh. Eira slowly beginning to make her way to her feet, she immediately goes for the timekeeper’s bell and her title to make the numbers a little more even when ... BAM! Whitey Ford from the crowd cracks her on the skull with a fan’s steel chair! Hopping the barricade, Whitey begins to lay into Eira with chairshots and boots while in the ring, a riot has begun with NCM and his Horde taking Murdoc to the proverbial woodshed! What an ending to an explosive Trauma! Stay tuned next week to find out what will happen next! *CLICK*

The big screen above the entrance flickers on as the audience in attendance all look up wondering what could be happening. At first it resembles interference or some kind of mechanical malfunction. Suddenly a sadistic guffaw is heard echoing throughout the arena over the loudspeakers and a crooked smile appears on the screen with painted black lips revealing to the crowd who it is. The crowd begins booing viciously.

Ace Anderson: I think everyone knows who that wicked smile belongs to!

Jerry Andrews: What is this? I thought he was suspended indefinitely?

The camera shakes a little and Joka's face comes into view, Joka sticking his tongue comically as he tries to concentrate on putting the handheld camcorder onto a pedestal. Joka sits down in a chair after he is done and stares into the camera with glazed over eyes, intermediately rubbing his chin as he looks down. Joka takes a deep breath and smiles as his neck twitches.

Joka: An atrocious act has recently been committed. This act took place at the Deadly Rumble...

Ace Anderson: Is he talking about what he did?

Jerry Andrews: He has to be talking about what he did. That is the only atrocity that took place at the Deadly Rumble.

Joka: This act was carried out by our glorious President, Frank Foley. This act was to suspend an innocent person for merely spicing up what would have been a dreadfully boring broadcast of the Deadly Rumble. I thought to mahself... 'what could make this match more exciting? Of course! Me... and my good friend!'

The Court Jester stands up to reveal a baseball bat in his hand, the bat wrapped in barbed wire and still red from the blood it and its owner shed only a few nights before. Joka drags the bat along the concrete wall of the darkened room he is filming his pirate broadcast from and a muffled scream is heard coming from behind him. Joka tilts his head as he laws the barbed wire bat on his shoulder.

Ace Anderson: And there's that vicious instrument of destruction that Joka brought to the Rumble with him.

Jerry Andrews: Does anyone know if this is coming from inside the building?

Some of the crowd cheer as Joka shows the bat that has been with him since his early days in wrestling while the overwhelming majority of the audience boos for the horrendous acts that Joka has shown as of late. Joka peers into the camera as he walks backwards slowly.

Joka: Frankie... may I call you Frankie? In Norse history... there were warriors of distinction known as the Berserkers. These warriors wore no armor and felt no pain. They worked themselves into a frenzy and the rage they displayed turned into legend.

Joka brings his bat up to his face and presses the barbed wire into his skull as he stares deeply into the camera. Blood begins dripping down as Joka smiles sadistically into the camera. The crowd gasp as the blood flows down his face, covering his black and white corpse paint and turning his visage a nightmare inducing color of red.

Joka: You let loose the Berserker. You all cringed when Bad Touch Joka was messing with peoples minds. Now... you have a whole new animal to deal with. I won't stop until I'm standing on top of your unconscious body Frankie. Which brings me to the point of this... pirate broadcast. I have an announcement for all the PCW fans but more importantly... any employee of Pure Class Wrestling. As of this moment... you have all been put on notice. For every week that my suspension continues... another employee of this company will be brutally maimed at mah hands.

Jerry Andrews: What does he mean... another employee?

Ace Anderson: I'm pretty sure we are about to see his first victim.

Jerry Andrews: Oh no.

Joka pulls back a curtain to reveal a man tied at the wrists, gagged with duct tape, and hanging from the ceiling. Joka swings his bat around as he walks closer to his bound victim. The man tries to wiggle free and helpless moans come from behind the duct tape covering his mouth. Joka's eyes suddenly grow wide as a viciously angry look comes over his face.

Joka: Did... did you just say... y'er name is... FRANK?

Joka rushes the man and begins using him like a punching bag. Moving in and out and pelting his midsection with nonstop punches and elbows. A sick snapping sound rings out in the concrete room as the crowd watch in awe at the brutality they are witnessing.

Jerry Andrews: That man's rib might have just been broken!

Ace Anderson: Do we have some people looking for this sick clown? We need to stop him!

Joka begins to prey on the man's apparent broken rib as he begins slamming hard rights into the PCW employees midsection. Each punch forcing a muffled scream from behind the duct tape covering his mouth. Every once in a while Joka swings a few elbows up into the mans face and forces him to slouch down, with more punches to his midsection waking him back up. Joka finishes up and grabs his barbed wire wrapped baseball bat laying against the wall. The clown shakes the blood dripping from his face as he approaches the man. Joka swings for the fences and drives the barbed wire bat straight into the stomach of his victim, shredding his shirt as he pulls the bat away. Joka slowly walks over and puts his hand on his victim's neck, forcing the man to look up into his eyes. Joka screams at the top of his lungs as he rears back with the bat, ready to strike the man in the side of the head. Suddenly, the picture on the broadcast goes out and the big screen above the stage goes black. However, the crowd gasp in unison as a sickening smack is heard through the loudspeakers. A wicked laugh is heard as Joka utters the final words of his warning to the employees of PCW.

Joka: Frank Foley... the ball's in y'er court. I'll be watching you...

The sound cuts off with loud interference as the crowd is speechless. Ace Anderson and Jerry Andrews sit quietly, shocked at the horrible events they just witnessed.

THREE YEARS AGO January 17, 2012 Hardcore Match Grimm vs. "Mr. Showtime" Michael Wryght Referee: Steve Shaw ... Wryght struggles up to his feet in a semi-daze. Somehow Grimm is conscious enough to try and get to his feet but nowhere near enough to block Showtime who impulsively sets up the Fisherman’s Suplex. Showtime lifts him high into the air and holds him for a moment as the crowd boo intensely… until Grimm hits out with an elbow straight to the cranium and rolls through the move. Landing on his feet, Grimm hits the ropes and rebounds before hitting the Sleeper Neckbreaker out of nowhere. Al Laiman: Grimm hit the Lament Configuration out of thin air… this could be it! Grimm is about to go for the pin when he stop in his tracks, staring up the aisle at something… or someone. Jerry Andrews: What the hell is Billy Sadistic doing out here?! Walking down the ramp is the ghastly shape of Grimm’s brother Billy Sadistic, both men locking eyes with each other as he gets closer and closer. Sadistic is still smarting from the beating laid upon from Machine, but he's got a plan to execute. Grimm doesn’t say a word as he watches on, staying dead still until Sadistic is close enough to jump onto the apron. Al Laiman: Maybe he’s here to have a friendly chat? Jerry Andrews: ……. Al Laiman: What? It’s possible! Sadistic stands on the apron but does nothing, even as Grimm takes a few steps and is only feet away from him. Slowly a… well… sadistic smile creeps onto Sadistic’s face and it’s easy to see why as Michael Wryght returns to his feet behind Grimm. Wryght rushes at Grimm to attack… but the Hangtown Horror sidesteps the attack, sending Showtime clattering into Sadistic instead. Jerry Andrews: There’s a friendly chat for you, Laiman! As Sadistic falls to the floor, Grimm quickly grabs the head of the shaken Wryght and hits the corner, twisting hard and fast until he plummets to the mat with the Tornado DDT, otherwise known as The Harvest. One… Two… THREE! Winner: Grimm via pinfall (Grimm's music hits as the referee raises his hand in victory.) Jerry Andrews: Grimm has just earned a rematch against his brother at Mass Destruction for the International Championship! (A slight, knowing smile forms on Grimm's face as he stares down his brother. Outside the ring Sadistic is incensed. Showtime is still down and out in the ring as Sadistic angrily yanks at the ring skirt. Kicking the guardrail and swearing at a few nearby fans, Sadistic tucks tail and heads to the back rather than retrieve his buddy from the ring.) Jerry Andrews: And what a proud champion Billy Sadistic is. Leaving his best friend laying in the ring. Al Laiman: Sadistic will prove what a champion he is...just like he did at Hostile Takeover...when he finishes his brother once and for all at Mass Destruction! (Sadistic disappears to the back, clearly wanting nothing to do with his brother. Trauma takes a final commercial break before heading into the main event.)

Jerry Andrews: We threw a second 'three years ago' video in because, hey, relevance!

Ace Anderson: You saw Sadistic, Grimm and Michael Wryght in that clip from 2012 and you're about to watch them in a six-person tag match!

Jerry Andrews: At Trauma 164, Derek Cosmos defeated Michael Wryght and celebrated with Stacy Jones and Seth Archer. The celebration wouldn't last long however as Showtime, Sadistic and Grimm attacked them after the match.

Ace Anderson: The members of the Black Hand have certainly been dominant in recent PCW history. Will that continue tonight or will Cosmos, Jones and Archer get revenge?

Jerry Andrews: We'll find out.... after the break.

Ace Anderson: What!? Come on!

Jerry Andrews: We gotta pay the bills somehow!

Six Person Tag Team Match
The Black Hand (Sadistic, Grimm & "Mr. Showtime" Michael Wryght) vs. Derek Cosmos, Stacy Jones & Seth Archer
Referee: Eddie Lane

"Introducing first... The Black Hand!"

The ominous beat starts quietly. Alternating stomps and claps reminiscent of a church sermon. Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" delivers the Dillinger brothers straight from Hangtown. Some of their Brothers and Sisters in the crowd stomp and clamp along as Sadistic is out first, a black glove on his right hand. Grimm isn't far behind, his left hand covered in an identical black glove. The Dillingers make their way to the ring, seemingly unaware of the crowd's reaction. Phinehas climbs the to the second turnbuckle, his arms at his side as his expressionless gaze surveys the crowd. Sadistic does the same on the opposite corner. No sooner does their entrance end than the next begins:

"Gold on the Ceiling" by The Black Keys begins to blare over the P.A. system and the arena darkens. A single spotlight begins to shine on the entrance way illumination none other than “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght. He is wearing a long black and silver sleeveless robe. He stands there with his back to the ring and his arms crossed. The back of the robe is exposed with the words in blue and silver “Mr. Showtime” and slightly behind him is the beautiful Perfection. Showtime slowly walks to the beat of the music as the only light in the arena follows him to the ring. He walks up the stairs and whips off his feet on the outside apron. He ducks under the top rope and two other spotlights shoot on him he spins and puts his arms out. He slowly makes his way to the corner crossing his wrists, with is fingers are lock making a “W.” He pulls his arms down setting off some small pyros behind him, which also begins the lights to return to the arena.

"And their opponents....."

Not a second later, "Bulletproof" by 12 Stones rings through the arena, Seth Archer making his way from the back to the stage accompanied by a large and loud pyro as the guitars hit hard and heavy. He smiles to the fans and makes his way down towards the ring, speeding up to run and slide under the ropes before jumping to the turnbuckles on the far side, climbing each to pose for his fans with his signature "Bow and Arrow Archer pose" before extending a hand out towards the stage. “Starstrukk” by 3OH!3 and Katy Perry bangs through the speakers as Stacy Jones appears on stage facing away from the ramp as the cameras see her from behind as the lyrics kick in before she turns with a grin and begins her strut to the ring, adjusting her gloves as she pauses at the top of the ramp, turning back to the stage with a smile.

The opening chords/riffs/what have you of the greatest song ever made, “Galactic” by New Nobility hits throughout the arena and the stage begins to fill with smoke and a cosmic laser light show. After about thirty-seconds, casually walking out of the smoke is Derek Cosmos.

Derek is wearing his black wrestling trunks, you know the ones with the three pinkish purplish stars on the rear and a giant backwards D and a connected C on the front crotch area. Derek is also wearing a black leather jacket, with jewels encrusted into the sleeves; Pinkish purplish jewels, that light up, but jewels nevertheless. Think Bedazzled.

The Galactic Bounty Hunter, as he and only he likes to call himself, walks down the entrance ramp bopping along with Galactic. Reaching Stacy, he winds an arm around her waist and the Cosmonauts walk arm in arm down the ramp. As Derek makes his enthusiastic descent down the ramp, he tries to slap hands with the fans; some take him up on the offer, but most ignore him. Bummer. When they finally reaches the ring, Stacy steps between the ropes and rests against a turnbuckle as she waits for Derek, the man himself sliding in through the bottom rope and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle to the second rope. Derek throws his arms back, let's out a “Wooo,” and then jumps back down to the mat. Taking off his light-brite bedazzled jacket, he tosses it to a ring attendant and stands ready, making eyes at Stacy while he waits for the match to begin.

Jerry Andrews: This is gonna be a big one.

Ace Anderson: I can't wait!

With all (finally) present and accounted for, Eddie Lane steps forward to give his opening instructions, Grimm stepping into the ring while Sadistic and Showtime look on with a (shall we say it?) galactic lack of concern. Meanwhile over on Team Cosmos, Stacy and Derek seem to argue briefly over who will go in first. Stacy eventually wins, taking her place across from Grimm as Derek mans a post outside the ropes, Seth giving him a comradely pat of long-suffering understanding on the back.

The two face off in the center of the ring, Stacy Jones on the immediate offensive, peppering Grimm with a barrage of tight fisted punches. Deciding brute force is the answer to this, Grimm grabs a fistful of hair and whips Stacy Jones into the corner, hammering away with a series of methodical strikes to her torso.

After a good few shots Jones recovers from the shock of the sudden onslaught and fires back with one of her own hard rights! Neither the grim(m) powerhouse nor the trained striker seem willing to give any ground, but the physically smaller Stacy Jones’ senses that a battle of attrition might not be the best road to take with this particular opponent. A quick tag to Derek and he’s through the ropes in a flash, Showtime grabbing Grimm’s shoulder in an impromptu tag and entering the ring!

Jerry Andrews: Well, I guess Showtime's in now!

Derek and Showtime spend all of a few seconds in a staredown before locking up in the center of the ring, trading blows with neither man gaining the upper hand. Showtime spending as much time deflecting strikes as he is laying in his own, Derek steps up his offense and slams a salvo of elbows into Showtime’s skull before landing a kick to the gut that doubles Showtime over, Cosmos shoving away from the post and kicking Showtime square in the - well, you know.

Showtime goes staggering forward, falling to a knee in the center of the ring, Derek sauntering forward and putting Showtime into a tight headlock! The crowd roars as the Showtime gets his legs square under him and surges to his feet, Derek hauled upwards while still clinging to a headlock, but a sharp trio of elbows to the stomach remedy that inconvenience. Derek releases but immediately lunges forward into a second tie up, and this time managing to force Showtime back!

The wiry Seth quickly transitions the locked horns into a good ol’ headlock but is equally quickly pushed out into the ropes! On the rebound Sadistic goes for a shoulder block but Archer’s momentum forces him down to the mat instead.

Turning to the ropes, Archer hits and rebounds, jumping over the body of a recovering Sadistic who jumps to his feet and attempts a hip toss! Archer deftly blocks and swings his free arm for a short-arm clothesline but Sadistic manages to duck and moves into a rear waist lock, muscles flexing as he hammers Sadistic down to the mat in a German suplex! The Cosmic Circus bursts into collective cheers with the crowd as Seth strikes his Bow & Archer pose, the cheers turning to cries of warning as Sadistic lashes out with one clawed hand and locks onto Seth’s ankle, yanking him down to the mat!

Sadistic scrambles onto Seth, straddling him with his knees holding the newcomer’s arms down, raining mounted punches onto Seth’s head! With Seth nearly senseless on the mat, Sadistic jumps to his feet and lays a few kicks into Seth’s midsection, dropping to his knees to wrap Archer up in a pin!

Winners: The Black Hand via Pinfall (Billy Sadistic pins Seth Archer) @ 25:26

Jerry Andrews: The Black hand wins the match!

Eddie Lane assists a pained-looking but upright Seth Archer to his feet as Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" stomps out of the PCW loudspeakers, Stacy and Derek entering the ring to help their fellow Cosmopolitan out of the ring. Without warning, Grimm and Showtime each grab a member of the trio, hauling Stacy and Seth out of the ring - leaving Derek standing face to face with Sadistic!

As Stacy and Seth battle it out with Grimm and Showtime outside the ring, Derek offers a smile and “whaddaya gonna do?” shrug to Sadistic, extending an arm out for a handshake - Sadistic knocking the offered limb aside and leveling a savage punch directly into Derek’s face! Stacy and Seth are back-to-back and up against the barrier as Derek does his best to fight Sadistic off, the crowd going mental as Grimm and Showtime shove the Spanish announcers out of the way and snap their metal folding chairs up!

Stacy ducks the first wild swing from Showtime, getting nailed with the second and dropping to the floor as Seth catches a sharp blow from Grimm on the underside of his chin, the impact of the chair snapping his head back on his neck seconds before he collapses atop Stacy’s fallen body!

Jerry Andrews: Come on! The match is over!

The crowd booing such unsportsmanlike conduct, their jeers and shouts only gain volume at the spectacle in the ring, Sadistic absolutely BRUTALIZING a rapidly fatiguing Derek Cosmos! The wily Sadistic manages to get the wriggling Derek into a hold, whipping him around in the savage, brutal, Sadistic DDT!

Grimm and Showtime re-enter the ring as Sadistic gets to his feet, Cosmos barely stirring on the mat. Sadistic looks down with a cruel smirk, raising his boot and SMASHING Derek’s face in with a crushing curbstomp! The cameras just barely catch something tiny and white go plinking across the ring as blood begins to pour from Derek’s mouth, medical techs and security pouring in from the back. Stacy Jones and Seth Archer are still out cold as all three members of the Black Hand loom tall and dark in the ring, staring down at Derek Cosmos’ battered form.

Jerry Andrews: Okay, get these guys out of here!

Ace Anderson: Security is here now.

PCW security start to approach the ring. The Black Hand remains in the ring, standing over the fallen Derek Cosmos. The crowd is loudly booing the three as Cosmos struggles to get back to his feet despite everything he has been through tonight.

As security approaches the ring, the members of the Black Hand nod at one another and they start to leave the ring. Suddenly, there's chaos in the entrance way. Several security guards turn their attention towards the commotion and Whitey Ford is seen walking down to the ring!

Jerry Andrews: Oh man... Whitey Ford is headed straight for the ring!

Ace Anderson: Wow. This is going to be an explosion!

Security steps in front of Whitey Ford and, with a show of force, the security team works to keep the Black Hand and Whitey Ford separated. Ford struggles to get through security while the members of the Black Hand are pushed back by the guards.

Ace Anderson: Whitey Ford trying to get to the Black Hand! The Black Hand is standing their ground! Security is standing between them!

Jerry Andrews: Well, they're keeping order. That's technically what they're supposed to do!

Ace Anderson: But I wanted to see a fight!

Jerry Andrews: I know you did, Ace.

Ford scrambles through the guards making it to the ring, but he's jumped by several other members of the security team before he can get any farther. Meanwhile, the Black Hand is forcibly removed from the ring on the other side. Security keeps pushing the Black Hand back and eventually they force them over the guardrail and into the crowd where they're met by other security guards who drag them away from the scene.

Jerry Andrews: It's taking the entire security staff to remove the Black Hand from the ring.

Ace Anderson: And.... Whitey Ford got free!

Ford shoves a security guard out of the way and he sprints towards the ropes in a desperate attempt to chase after the Black Hand. A security guard grabs him from behind. Ford turns around and slugs the guard in the face, knocking him down. Meanwhile, Derek Cosmos is finally pulling himself back up to his feet. He shakes his head and stumbles forward, disoriented, right as Whitey Ford knocks another security guard down. Ford shoves another security guard down. He drops another with a right hand. He then swings wildly and connects with the head of Derek Cosmos, knocking him down to the mat!

Jerry Andrews: Ford just slugged Cosmos!

Ace Anderson: But... he was aiming for a security guard!

Jerry Andrews: Was he?

Ford swings at another guard, but finally the numbers overwhelm him and security gets control. Whitey Ford continues to struggle with the guards until...
