Trauma 166 Results

[Rick Majors]

Tuesday February 3rd, 2015

The show opens with a wide shot of the rabid PCW Arena. The crowd is on its feet in anticipation of another exciting episode of PCW Trauma. The camera pans across the audience and finally focuses on the voice of PCW, Jerry Andrews who is standing alongside PCW legend Ace Anderson.

Jerry Andrews: Welcome once again to PCW Trauma. The crowd is HOT tonight and what a show we have for you this evening folks! Of course, I am Jerry Andrews and with me as always is my broadcast partner Ace Anderson!

Ace Anderson: You can feel the energy in this building here tonight!

Jerry Andrews: And we're going to kick things off with....!

Ace Anderson: Wait a second, I'm getting word that something is happening backstage. We've got a camera back there and apparently....

Jerry Andrews: It's Whitey Ford!

Backstage, Whitey Ford is seen walking down the hallway with a steel chair in hand. He has a look of intensity on his face. He turns a corner and finds himself standing outside the office of PCW President Frank Foley. Ford bangs on the door angrily.

Whitey Ford: Come on Frank! Come out! We have a few things to discuss!

Whitey Ford raises the chair up over his shoulder in anticipation of Frank Foley exiting his office. That doesn't happen, probably because Frank Foley almost certainly has a TV in his office and he's most likely watching Trauma live.

Sick of waiting, Whitey Ford slams the door with the chair. And again. And again. He now drives the end of the chair into the door, denting it. At this point, members of Pure Class Arena Security appear and step in front of Ford, blocking him from accessing Foley's office.

Whitey Ford: I see how it is! So this is how it's gonna be, huh!?

Ford briefly lunges forward, causing the security team to tense up. Ford then smirks and walks away, leaving security standing guard at Foley's door.

Ace Anderson: Whitey Ford really isn't happy with Frank Foley and his concept of "fairness," is he?

Jerry Andrews: Whitey Ford is mad about a lot of stuff. He's an asshole.

Ace Anderson: Well, technically, he's THE Asshole.

Back at ringside, the action once again focuses on the ring as the first match of the evening is set to begin.

Double Debut (and a return!) Singles Match
LIGHT vs. "Wide Load" Bubba Bob vs. High Tide
Referee: Ty Little

Jerry Andrews: I'm looking forward to this one! We have two newcomers making their PCW debuts in this match!

Ace Anderson: As well as a big return!

Jerry Andrews: Let's go!

The crowd explodes into cheers as Alestorm’s ”You Are a Pirate” comes rollicking out of the speakers. With very little lighting and effects that simulate lightning, High Tide (in a pirate outfit) walks down the ramp slightly crouched over, as if he was sitting. He holds a large pirate flag in one hand, and in the other he is imitating steering a ship. He does this until he gets to the ring where he motions dropping and anchor and proceeds to hop on to the turnbuckle and dive headfirst over the ropes, rolling into a standing position. Then he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and pulls out a spyglass, looking around at the audience. He mimics loading a cannon and as he motions firing it, he jumps off the turnbuckle into the ring (to imitate recoil) as fireworks shoot from all four turnbuckles, the crowd going wild for the return of High Tide!

“ALL OF THE LIGHTS!” by Kanye West hits the speakers as the lights drop out inside the arena. As the horns of the song start to sound, LIGHT jogs out onto the stage and starts bouncing up and down warming up for the match. He heads down the ramp, light on his toes and clapping his hands with the fans. In one easy hop, he moves from the floor and up to the ring apron, lit by a single spotlight the entire time. He jumps over the top rope and runs across the ring, jumping up to the middle rope and pointing to that side of the arena as the lights in that half of the building come up. LIGHT jumps off the middle buckle, twisting in mid air and slamming his fist to the mat as the lights in the rest of the building come up. He stays on one knee, and looks up directly into the camera outside with a smile before standing up and waiting for the bell.

"Fat" by Weird Al hits the loud speakers. The camera goes onto the entrance way. A big fat man wearing a black leather vest and jean shorts walks out to cheers from the audience. His fat, hairy belly is there for the world to see. He walks slowly to the ring while eating some food of some sort. A brief argument ensues between “Wide Load” Bubba Bob and PCW’s Ring Fox, Tabitha. Disgust is clear on her face as she “wins” the argument and Wide Load hands over a half-eaten sandwich and plants a sloppy, mustard laced kiss on her bare shoulder.

Ty Little checks that all the men are ready and then motions for the bell to ring, signifying the beginning of the match. LIGHT is immediately on the attack, catching both of his opponents by surprise by jumping onto the ropes and launching himself off to take both Tide and Wide down with a flying double clothesline! Bubba Bob’s mass allowed him to keep his feet (albeit with a heavy stagger) remaining standing just enough for LIGHT to get his hands on him! In an impressive show of strength, LIGHT hefts Wide Load up, taking a few wild fists from the behemoth but slams him down with a wicked spinebuster.

To his credit, LIGHT whirls to face Tide, showing great awareness for a rookie wrestler, but Wide Load has been up and had allowed LIGHT perform the spinebuster in the hopes his weight would accelerate the fatigue in the high flyer! Bubba Bob for LIGHT with a totally unwarranted (and probably cheeto dust coated) poke to the eye, which Little immediately calls as misconduct. The temporarily blinded LIGHT, clutching his face, stumbles with into the open hand of High Tide, neck first! Tide takes a few running steps and lifts LIGHT up in the air, and sends him back first to the mat with a chokeslam. He quickly goes for the pin, but Tide is having none of that, putting a boot in his back.

Bubba Bob finally gets to his feet, staring at High Tide and LIGHT. Tide doffs his hat in a show of piratey flair while Wide Load’s double chins bob to their owner’s emphatic nod, the two men seeming to agree to ground the high flying menace. Rookie or not, LIGHT is no fool and backs off upon seeing the two men temporarily united in front of him, not going to be caught unawares this time. LIGHT is perfectly still for all of a second then bursts into fluid motion, diving between the ropes and out of the ring, landing in a beautiful dive roll only to quickly hop to his feet! The crowd cheers at the display of acrobatic agility, Tide following suit, hopping over the top rope and landing in a crouch. However LIGHT knows better than to remain still, quickly back in the ring and wasting no time in rushing Wide Load! Bubba moves quickly, ducking under a running clothesline, LIGHT bouncing off the opposite ropes. Bubba Bob is waiting for him to return, bulky body behind his shoulder as he rams into the luchador! LIGHT goes reeling back - into the grasp of High Tide is back in the ring as Wide Load follows him in! Tide locks up with LIGHT, belly-to-back, Bubba Bob coming crashing in with a spectacular bullrush!

High Tide grunts as the impact smashes him into the ropes, LIGHT taking the brunt of the crushing damage as Wide Load rams into them like a speeding big rig, Tide releasing his grip and letting LIGHT drop to the mat! With LIGHT down and out, Wide Load grabs Tide by the arm and Irish whips him into the ropes, but Tide has the presence of mind to grab the ropes! What the two men don’t notice is that LIGHT appears to have vanished from the ring... Tide and Wide Load start slugging it out in the middle of the ring, Tide gradually worked back towards the corner - when suddenly LIGHT leaps up onto the apron then the turnbuckle, aiming for Tide and sending him face first into the mat from behind with a flying bulldog! Tide crashes and burns, Wide Load lumbering forward for another slam into LIGHT - who sidesteps! Bubba Bob hits the ropes hard, his momentum enough to carry him into an awkward, flailing fall to the ringside floor! LIGHT with the crowd’s wild cheers behind him and Tide fast rising, drop kicks the wily pirate to the mat! Wide Load hauls himself back into the ring, letting loose a bellowing roar and swinging a heavy but wild right hand at LIGHT!

Tide up on his feet again, he’s looking to finish this match by any means necessary. With a corsair’s particular brand of cunning, he leaps onto Bubba Bob’s broad back like a deranged spider monkey, raining punches into the large man’s head. Wide Load backpedals, smashing back first into the turnbuckle as hard as he can, Tide in the unfortunate position of being between the two! Tide drops into a heap on the mat, but LIGHT is more than ready - as Bubba Bob comes staggering out of the corner, LIGHT launches himself into a picturesque 450 splash - The Implosion!

The crowd cheers as Bubba Bob collapses under the finisher, LIGHT tying him as Tide desperately crawls towards the two, scrabbling forward as fast as he can to disrupt the pin, Ty Little in to make the count:

...1!

Tide wraps his arms around his middle and lays prone for a moment, eyes locked onto the men in the ring...

...2!

Making his way closer now, Tide clenches his jaw and forges on...
...

Nearly there, one arm outstretched, his supporting arm trembling from the strain of the match...

...3!

Winner by Pinfall: LIGHT @ 6:32

Ty Little’s hand hits the mat for the third and final time, Kanye West’s ”All the Lights” thumping out of the loudspeakers and heralding LIGHT’s debut match as a success!

As Trauma returns, the camera catches the Black Hand in the backstage area going over some last minute preparations when their Enforcer, Cory “The Bear” Steel, walks into the picture.

Cory Steel: Gentlemen...

Caught by surprise, the Black Hand members greet the musclebound King of the Underground. Sadistic appears genuine, Showtime appears annoyed, and Grimm...well, Grimm is indifferent.

Billy Sadistic: Cory! Just the man we were looking for!

Sadistic sounds like a real used car salesman. Steel appears puzzled.

Cory Steel: You were looking for me? Because that's kinda what I wanted to talk about. I feel like I stick my neck out for you guys...for the Cause...but you guys only talk to me when you need something. Like I'm being used.

Sadistic feigns injury at the accusation.

Billy Sadistic: Cory, Cory, Cory...you're one of us! I mean, not technically. But in spirit! You're the man! The Enforcer! The KING of the Underground! The Black Hand needs you. You know that. We've got your back. You know that, right?

Sadistic looks to Showtime and Grimm as they nod along with Sadistic. Cory looks reassured with his role alongside the Black Hand.

Cory Steel: Alright. Just wanted to make sure we're still tight.

Billy Sadistic: Absolutely! And speaking of tight, you know the drill out there tonight, right?

Cory simply offers the Phenom his fist. A nasty grin forms across Billy's face as he bumps fists with Steel. Putting an arm around Steel's massive shoulders, he escorts him to the open door.

Billy Sadistic: You stick with us, Cory Daddy, and we'll take you to promised land...

The camera continues to film the Black Hand meeting from outside the doorway as Steel walks out of view. Mr. Showtime is clearly not happy about the arrangement.

Michael Wryght: Why are we even bothering with that hack? The second he steps out of the Underground division, he'll sink like a stone in water.

Sadistic stiffens his back and squares up with Wryght. Grimm watches with his arms folded across his chest.

Billy Sadistic: Mikey, in case you haven't noticed, there aren't a lot of six-and-a-half foot, three hundred pound monsters walking around PCW. I, for one, would rather have a guy like that on OUR side.

Michael Wryght: How long has Cory been in PCW? And he hasn't done crap since he teamed up with us, right? So if you ask me, I think WE'RE helping him...not vice versa. If anything, he's been nothing more than a meat shield...

Sadistic breaks into another beaming smile.

Billy Sadistic: Yes. And a damn good meat shield, at that. Don't worry, Mikey. You know there's no future for guys like Cory Steel in the Black Hand. But guys that big and that dumb...well, it'd almost be a crime not to take advantage of him, right?

It's now Showtime's turn to break into a smile. Grimm slowly shakes his head from side to side, clearly thinking that this is a bad idea.

Michael Wryght: Hey, as long as the oaf pulls his weight out there tonight, I couldn't care less.

Showtime and Sadistic share a Black Hand embrace as the camera slowly pans out...

...and finds Cory Steel standing with his back against the wall just outside the doorway. Listening to the whole thing. The stone expression on the Bear's face gives away nothing.

Back at ringside, instead of the next match "Black Widow" by In This Moment blares out of the speakers 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

Ace Anderson: What the hell? What is SHE doing here? I thought she was taken away from ringside last week?

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.

"Shut up you peasants!

This is MY time! You will shut up and listen!"

"Last week this happened..."

The screen lights up and we see a replay from last week.

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: Anderson: What is going on here!?

"As you can see some goons tried to grab me during my match and take me away by force to somewhere but I took THEM out and unfortunately landed myself in jail.

Luckily my legal representative got me out of jail and also informed me of a few things."

She holds up the manilla envelope with the documents given to her by Josiah Dubois.

"Some 'Mystery Person' from PCW has been paying off the authorities to keep my presence quiet and who ever that is also wants to remain anonymous.

"It also seems that I had a few outstanding warrants for my arrest and when my former bodyguards found this out they turned me over to the authorities and tried to have me put back in Coalinga.

TOO BAD YOU ASSHOLES!
I'M STILL HERE!

AND IF YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME THEN COME AND GET SOME!

"Somebody's Gonna Get It" by 3 Six Mafia blasts through the PCW area speaker as Cage and Knight step through the curtain. As soon as they do their music is completely drowned out by the boos and jeers of the PCW faithful.

As they continue 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.

The reach the ring and Cage goes up the steps on one side and Knight the other.

Ace Anderson: She must be out of her God damn mind calling these two monsters out!

Jerry Andrews: Have you not been paying attention Ace? Alexa is a violent psychotic sociopath! She was a patient in California's toughest maximum security psychiatric hospital! Coalinga houses 850 of the most sexually violent predators and 100 mentally disordered offenders. And she's been in there with them... God only knows what's going on in that head of hers....

Ace Anderson: I really don't WANT to know. The thought chills me to the bone!

Knight and Cage climb into the ring and start to advance on Alexa who backs away and rolls down and out of the ring and heads back up the ramp....

"Ha ha ha you idiots did you think it was going to be that easy?

No you and I are going to meet but on my terms. And when we do it will be the end for both of you!"

She backs up the ramp leaving Cage and Knight standing in the ring daring her to come down but she just laughs and waves. Suddenly, 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.

Cage and Knight are still in the ring. Alexa Black is still on the ramp. Finally, PCW security comes out and starts walking down to the ring.

Jerry Andrews: Folks, we're going to sort this out and we'll be right back.

Trauma returns and it looks like security and PCW officials have managed to get things sorted out and under control. Knight and Cage are nowhere to be seen and Alexa Black and Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith are in the ring and ready to go. The bell rings.

Singles Match
Alexa Black vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith
Referee: Nigel Gale

Finally, Nigel Gale gets this one underway. Alexa Black quickly throws punches at Smith’s chest, neck and face. Crazy Boy is taken aback by the sudden flurry of violence from Black and backs off against the ropes, looking over to her in disbelief as he rubs his chin from pain. Alexa just grins as she backs off and raises her hands in a “Come get some when you’re ready” manner, turning to look at the ramp a little, scanning the area before turning back to CB.

Crazy Boy gets back to the centre of the ring, locking up with the Black Widow, gaining the upper hand with a power grapple, picking her up by both hands and running, slamming her back into the turnbuckle, turning to get a run up and hitting a hard dropkick into her chest, knocking her down to the ground in the corner, with CB following up with a few mud stomps before the referee breaks them up.

Alexa Black gets up and the two exchange vicious strikes in the middle of the ring, scrapping with punches and kicks until Alexa wraps her arms around Tyrone, lifting him up onto her shoulders and laughing as she grabbed him at the extremities, locking in a torture rack, squeezing and cracking him, putting pressure on his body before dropping him down on the mat, turning, looking down at the failed Smith, walking over to lift him up by the hair, but he rolls her up for a pinball but she rolls out instantly, not even getting a 1 count.

Crazy Boy grabs Alexa and throws her with an Irish Whip, hitting another hard dropkick on her return, posing to the crowd as Alexa’s body thuds against the ring canvas. The crowd cheers on their favourite in Crazy Boy except for a small section of fans booing him.

As Alexa gets to her feet, Crazy Boy rushes her and attempts to hit a scissor kick, but Alexa ducks under his legs and grabs him by the head and hits her snap swinging neck breaker, Tyrone hitting the canvas with a loud slam. She attempts the cover and Gale drops to count…

1…..

2…..

KICKOUT!

Crazy Boy grabs Alexa and rolls her up with a cradle.

1…..

2…..

KICKOUT!

Alexa gets to her feet fast and looks pissed. She unleashes a flurry of kicks to Smith who is still down on the mat, growling with her frustrations until CB trips her up and gets to his feet and swiftly delivers a Jumping Heel Kick out of nowhere, knocking Black back against the ropes in shock. As she recovers, she turns to face the ramp, brushing her hair from her face, again scanning the ramp area as if looking for something or for someone.

Taking advantage of this distraction, Crazy Boy scurries up to a turnbuckle and as Alexa turns back to the centre of the ring, he jumps off and hits a picture perfect Crazy Drop missile dropkick, dropping her to the ground as he rushes over and attempts to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Alexa struggles and tried to get away, with Tyrone only having one leg hooked but he pulls her back, gets both legs hooked and applies the pressure.

Alexa screams in pain as Smith bends her body further and further back until she has no choice but to reach out for the ropes and try and break the hold but they’re just too far away. Referee Gale checks to see if she has reached but she just can’t and in desperation, she taps out, the referee calling for the bell as Smith releases the hold and gets his arm raised by the referee, cheers filling the arena until Alexa gets to her feet and behind Smith, grabs him, raising him up and hitting a harsh and stiff Black Widow, before laughing maniacally as she leaves the ring and walks up the ramp to loud boos.

Winner by Submission: Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith @ 9:23

Jerry Andrews: A big victory for Crazy Boy!

Ace Anderson: Those two really battled it out!

Suddenly, the big screen flickers on. Static is seen and a hideous hiss is heard throughout the arena.

Jerry Andrews: Folks, it appears that we're having some sort of....

Ace Anderson: Oh no.

It's not a technical malfunction at all. Instead, the static cuts out and the sick smile of the Joka can be seen.

Joka: On the last episode of Trauma, I put all of you on notice. I told you that for every week that my suspension continues another employee of this company will be attacked. I thought that you would come to your senses. I thought that you would recognize that reinstating me as an active competitor would be the smart decision. But you didn't do that, now did you Frank Foley?

Joka twitches slightly and glares right into the camera, his eyes filled with a mixture of insanity and danger.

Joka: Maybe you didn't think I was serious.

At this point, it appears as though Tha Joka is reaching forward for the camera that he is filming this sick display on. The shot is shaky for a moment while Joka grabs the camera. He then spins it around to show the Head of Pure Class Arena Security "Big" Dave Brandt seemingly unconscious on the floor. There's a pool of blood behind his head.

Joka: Do I look serious now? DO I!?

Joka sets the camera up once again, this time pointing at the beaten body of Dave Brandt. He zooms out so that the audience can clearly see the entire scene. Joka then picks up his barbed wire wrapped baseball bat from the floor.

Jerry Andrews: Oh no! Come on!

Ace Anderson: Is this live!? Where the hell is this guy!? Someone needs to stop him!

Joka cackles maniacally and he walks over towards Brandt. He stands above him and points the end of the bat downwards. He then grabs onto the bat with both hands and drives it hard into Brandt's midsection. And again. And again.

Finally, Joka drops the bat and he walks back to the camera. He leans forward and looks directly into the lens, his face taking up the entire screen.

Joka: That's two. Do you really want there to be another?

With that, the feed turns to static once again. After several seconds of static, the show cuts to a commercial break.

As Trauma returns, Fraizer Knight and Samson Cage are seen walking backstage when they're stopped by Shane Dodge.

Shane Dodge: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, what do you have to say about what Alexa Black said in the ring earlier tonight?"

The two large men keep walking, ignoring Dodge's question.

Shane Dodge: "She said tonight that you turned me over to the authorities and tried to have her put in a psychiatric hospital! Is that true?"

Again, the two men just keep walking.

Shane Dodge: "Do you have any comment on this matter?"

Knight and Cage walk through a door and slam it in Dodge's face as he goes to follow them.

Jerry Andrews: Apparently, they have no comment.

Ace Anderson: Yeah, that's how it looked to me too.

The shot then changes to another area backstage, where Derek Cosmos, Stacy Jones and Seth Archer are seen walking through the backstage area. The crowd pops at the appearance of the trio.

Jerry Andrews: And there you have the members of Team Cosmos getting ready for three big singles matches here tonight!

Ace Anderson: I thought they were called 'the Cosmospolitans?'

Jerry Andrews: I've also heard 'the Cosmosnauts.'

Ace Anderson: How about 'Cosmosphere?'

Jerry Andrews: 'Cosmosis?'

Ace Anderson: 'The Cosmos Connection?'

Jerry Andrews: 'Derek Cosmos and the Miami Sound Machine?'

Ace Anderson: None of them are from Miami, are they?

Jerry Andrews: Well, 'The Outer Reaches of Space' could be in Miami.

Ace Anderson: I guess that's true.

Jerry Andrews: After all of the anger and violence we've seen tonight, it's nice to get back to some friendly banter.

Ace Anderson: That's what people tune in for, right? Our banter?

Jerry Andrews: I believe so, yes.

Ace Anderson: Well, it all ends when we get back from this next commercial break!

Jerry Andrews: That's right! Nathan Saniti is set to take on Stacy Jones in a non-title match! We'll be right back!

Non-Title Match
Nathan Saniti (International ©) vs. Stacy Jones
Referee: Tyrone Little Jr.

“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 walks confidently.

As she approaches the ring, she steps between the ropes and rests against a turnbuckle as she waits for her opponent to arrive/the bell to ring.

Psychedelic lights of green and purple brighten the ramp and walkway with no rhyme or reason as "White Rabbit," by Collide plays. Nathan Saniti saunters out of the back as casually as an English Gentleman on a Sunday stroll, cane in hand and hat atop my head. He barely notices the audience reaction, whether good or bad most of the time, though he will acknowledge them if they're cheering. About a third of the way down the ramp, he stops as smoke billows out from underneath him. Just as it envelops him completely, he tosses my hat into the ring, where it hovers and begins to spew smoke of its own. As the smoke on the ramp clears, he has disappeared. As the smoke from his hat clears, he appears right there!

Ace Anderson: This is the first of two non-title matches here tonight and both involve members of 'The Cosmos Nation!'

Jerry Andrews: And you have to believe that, if either member of 'The Cosmos Crew' wins either of these non-title contests, they'll be in line for a future title shot!

Ace Anderson: These are both huge opportunities for 'The Cosmosgraphers!'

Jerry Andrews: We were supposed to stop doing that, weren't we?

Ace Anderson: Yes.

The bell rings and Nathan Saniti and Stacy Jones begin circling each other, tentatively. After a few rounds, Jones and Saniti step into the center of the ring and lock up. Saniti breaks the lock up and the two circle once more. They lock up again. This time Stacy breaks free.

They approach one another again, but this time Stacy Jones goes for a quick right cross. Saniti catches it and begins wrenching her arm. Jones drops to her knees as Saniti continues to twist. Saniti drives his elbow into Stacy Jones’ elbow and releases his grib. Jones hits the mat.

Saniti pulls her back up to her feet. He wrenches her arm once more, goes behind her and grabs her from behind. He then lifts her up and hits a belly-to-back suplex! Stacy Jones staggers to her feet and Saniti takes her down with a drop kick.

Nathan Saniti pulls his opponent up, slips his head under her arm and brings her up and over with a Northern Lights Suplex! Saniti gets to his feet quickly as Jones is slow to get up.

Saniti approaches and goes for a hard right, but Jones ducks the punch. She then dropkicks Saniti in the back! Saniti stumbles forward into the ropes, and then bounces back. He turns while in movement and nails Jones with a vicious clothesline!

Saniti gets to his feet. He pulls Jones up to her feet , but Stacy grabs hold of Nathan and drops down to her knees for a chin breaker! She gets to her feet before Saniti and attempts a DDT, but Nathan Saniti holds onto the top rope! Saniti grabs her now, leaps up and hits an enziguri!

Saniti goes for the cover but Jones kicks out at two!

Nathan Saniti pulls his opponent up to his feet. Stac Jones suddenly hits a standing drop kick! Saniti is knocked backwards. Stacy Jones runs at him and takes him down with a clothesline. Saniti staggers up. Jones runs at him again. Saniti dodges. Now Saniti and runs at Jones, who ducks and hits a drop toe hold!

Jones grabs the head of Saniti and pulls him up to his feet. Saniti goes for a clothesline, but Jones blocks it with a right hand. Jones now drives her knee into Saniti’s stomach. With hm doubled over, Stacy Jones grabs his head and hits him with a swinging neck breaker.

Stacy Jones with a cover and a two-count.

Stacy Jones pulls Saniti up and hits him with a reverse DDT. Jones pulls Nathan Saniti up once more and she swings at him. He ducks and hits her in the midsection. He kicks her again. And again. The kicks back Stacy Jones into the corner. Suddenly, Jones lunges forward and begins to nail Saniti with quick right forearms! Saniti covers up. Saniti waits for a break, pushes her back and then leaps up and hits her with a hurricanrana!

As Stacy Jones staggers to her feet, Nathan Saniti sets her up and drops her with the Unreality Check! He then goes for a cover... and gets the victory!

Winner by Pinfall: Nathan Saniti by pinfall @ 10:46

Jerry Andrews: A big win for Nathan Saniti!

Ace Anderson: An an impressive contest for both competitors!

Jerry Andrews: There's so much more to come tonight folks! We'll be right back with more!

The arena turns red and black with the crowd growing into cheers, the bells of the song ring, and "Heaven Knows" by The Pretty Reckless plays! The Bear in his bear skin emerges from behind the black curtain with his head lowered. The eyes of the dead bear skin shin and glimmer in the dancing lights. Finally Cory lifts his head and with his expressionless face scans the crowd before a smile cracks across his face and he begins his descent towards the ring.

At the bottom of the ramp standing beside the ring apron the massive hands of The Bear reaches up grabbing the top rope, he pulls himself onto the ring apron, and removing his beard skin laying it down he ducks into the ring.

The Underground King stands in the ring, from the first time in his career he was going to address the PCW faithful about his ambitions as Underground champion. His most trusted friend Othello removes the Bear skin and hands Cory a microphone.

"I'm a man who lives by actions and not words, since I've been in the company I've always left everything in the ring. However since becoming the Underground King," Cory says raising the Underground championship into the air, "I've been told a king has to address the people he is king of. Now let's be clear the balance of power has shifted from a drunken coward to the Black Hand. Monsters and wizards are the ones in power now, except maybe Storm the power of good perhaps? Anyways we all know now that PCW is heading into a very bloody and painful chapter of history! I plan on being the poster boy for it all."

Cory begins to pace the ring his belt resting over his shoulder absentmindly stroking his beard with his free hand, "I promise you that a fair share if our PCW faithful are hungry for blood am I right?"

It was a automatic cheer from a decent proportion of fans in attendance, Cory smiled and nodded as if he knew he was right all along.

"When the Underground was created we, you faithful included, expected lots and lots of blood shed, right?"

Another cheer of agreement.

"We had our first dose of royalty in the form of a teen aged beautiful Queen! I know her very well, little Gem held the position of Queen very well and kicked my ass a fair share of times but she lacked something. Something I didn't see as Underground Queen, she didn't set the bar high enough for us who," Cory pauses in the middle of the ring searching for a word, "Wanted blood, the title isn't King or Queen of PCW BUT UNDERGROUND! You don't find people like Stormm or Gem or Andy in the Underground world hell no! They are not savage enough honestly! We're but of a different breed."

The Bear points to the nasty scars from the Bear he killed last year, "We fight and kill bears! We break legs and end careers goddammit! We make people's personal life's living hells and when you take flesh from us."

Cory is running on adrenaline now so he jumps up and down as if sawing through something, "We take a damn pound of flesh back from you! The PCW is being ran by those who lurk in darkness, or in the deepest darkest woods of the south, and some even meddle in magic! I myself believe in the word if outlaws and I do things not even the craziest of people do on the regular. I am the King of the Underground now, I have a sworn duty now to bring as much underground law and violence as I want to PCW! So this message is for any who want to dance, I swear by this you best be coming to hurt me bad when you do come! Mere pinnings or submissions will not be enough to escape the King."

He comes to another stop his hair a mess over his face and he is looking down, "If you want this title and the right to claim all things broken and damned then your going to have to make sure I NEVER GET UP! Because I will get up again and again and again until both of us are destroyed lying on our backs drowning in our own blood! The Underground is alive brothers and sisters, be damned or go home because we have no places available for pussy footers or do gooders."

With that Cory drops the microphone when Godsmack begins to play over the pa system. Othello drapes the Bear skin over Cory and they exit backstage.

Jerry Andrews: Cory Steel is fired up tonight!

Ace Anderson: Can you blame him?

Jerry Andrews: Of course not, but what does that mean for his tag match tonight?

Ace Anderson: We'll find that out later tonight, but right now, we have another non-title singles match!

Non-Title Match
Justin "Stormm" Michaels (North American ©) vs. Seth Archer
Referee: Manny Cruz

“Bulletproof” by 12 Stones blares over the PA system to announce the arrival of relative newcomer and brother to PCW star Stacy Jones...the one and only Seth Archer! He receives a warm reception from the PCW Faithful as the guitars and pyros hit. Heading down the aisle, a quick burst of speed propels him under the bottom rope and into the ring where he hops up onto the second turnbuckle to give his signature “Bow and Arrow Archer Pose.” Dropping down to the mat, he awaits the arrival of the North American Champion.

The lighting goes dim and the sound of rain can be heard as an orange fog begins to roll in. Roaring thunder shakes the Pure Class Arena and the stadium goes black as "Crash" by Decyfer Down comes through the speakers. Orange lightning flashes overhead to light the way for Justin “Stormm” Michaels and the fans go nuts for the North American Champion. Rounding the ring, Stormm salutes Ace and Jerry before entering the ring and scaling the nearest turnbuckle to raise his arms into the air.

With the pageantry over, referee Manny Cruz confers with both participants before beginning the bout. Michaels advances to the center of the ring and offers the youngster a friendly handshake. Smitten, Seth opts for a big hug instead! Caught off guard, Justin attempts to shake Archer free, but to no avail. Growing frustrated, Stormm has no choice but to plant Seth with a belly-to-belly suplex! Michaels quickly covers and hooks the leg and very nearly gets a three-count only half a minute into the contest!

Stormm opts to wear down his opponent with some good old-fashioned technical wrestling, putting on a clinic for the rookie with a series of chain wrestling and wear down holds. But the youthful grappler shows excellent fortitude in battling back against the champion. Seth shows off some technical know how of his own as the pair trade hip tosses, snapmares, armbars, and suplexes in an exciting back and forth bout. Although not as experienced, Seth Archer is definitely exhibiting the physical attributes to hang with PCW's heavy hitters.

It's nearly fifteen minutes in when Stormm is finally able to connect with a high impact Flash Flood that takes all of the wind out of Seth's sails! Stormm hooks the leg, but Archer shoots the shoulder up at two and garners a roar from the crowd! Seth is running on fumes and Michaels is ready to put him away. Pulling him in close, Justin sets him up for the Force of Nature...but Archer won't go down without a fight. Seth struggles and shoves Michaels towards the ropes...and in the ensuing battle, both men plow through the ropes to the outside!

Manny Cruz starts the ten-count as the competitors regain their wits on the outside! Stormm landed a bit awkwardly on his knee and is moving around gingerly. Seth attacks first with a right hand that prompts Stormm to retaliate in kind. Punches are traded and what was once shaping up to be a technical masterpiece has now devolved into a bitter slugfest on the outside of the ring. Cruz continues to fire off the count inside the ring, but the combatants are so engaged in conflict that they are oblivious. Reluctantly, Manny reached ten and has no choice but to call the match a double count out. The ringing of the bell followed by the announcement brings both men out of their brawl. Clearly, both men are frustrated with the result.

Winner: Double Count Out @ 14:14

The match has officially come to a disappointing end and there seem to be no hard feelings between Michaels and Archer.

And that's when it happens. Tha Joka! From God knows where! Possibly the crowd? It happens so fast that nobody is sure where he came from, but he sets his sights on the North American Champion first. A clothesline from behind staggers Stormm and Joka is quick to follow it up by sending Justin shoulder-first into the ring steps! Michaels is down and the fans shower Joka with boos!

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

Ace Anderson: Tha Joka is still suspended from the PCW active roster and he's making good on the threat that he issued at the last Trauma.

Jerry Andrews: But he's already attacked someone tonight!

Ace Anderson: You expect this lunatic to follow his own rules!?

Seth Archer, still fatigued from the previous bout, attempts to make the save, but Joka will have none of it. He might be the Court Jester, but funny his antics are not! The only saving grace for Archer is that Joka has decided to leave his little friend, the razor-wire baseball bat, at home. But the beating is still quite severe. Joka entertains himself by bouncing Seth's pretty face off the ring post, the ring steps, and the steel barricade, making sure to alternate evenly between the three until Archer can no longer stand. Blood trickles from a nasty gash at Seth's hairline, but Joka is merciless. Grabbing the disjointed top half of the ring steps, the clown looks to splatter Seth's head all over the concrete!

Jerry Andrews: We need some help! Security!

Ace Anderson: This is completely uncalled for...

Ace Anderson starts to take his headset off and leave his seat to aid the rookie, but security arrives on the scene in just in time. Security floods the ringside area as Joka drops the steps with a thud and bails through the crowd. The fans are clearly unhappy with what has transpired as medics rush out from the back. Trauma goes to commercial break.

Singles Match
Derek Cosmos vs. Whitey Ford
Referee: Joseph Buckland

Jerry Andrews: As the last episode of Trauma ended, Whitey Ford stormed the ring looking to get his hands on the Black Hand.

Ace Anderson: Yeah, but the only competitor he got his hands on was Derek Cosmos.

Jerry Andrews: Cosmos has taken some pretty severe beatings over the last while and the post-match attack by the Black Hand on the last Trauma was especially brutal.

Ace Anderson: He lost a tooth!

Jerry Andrews: And then he was decked by Whitey Ford!

Ace Anderson: I'm amazed that he's even planning on competing tonight, given everything he's been through.

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 gingerly, apparently still feeling the effects of recent attacks. As he makes his 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 he finally reaches the ring, he slides 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, his tosses it to Mark Long and waits for his opponent.

"Bad Man" by Bobaflex begins to play.

The southern style guitars play over the PA system as strobelights and the PCWtron flash white light to the beat of the bass drum. When the music picks up a bit, Ford slowly walks out onto the stage, arms stretched out wide to embrace the hate rained down upon him. Taking great amusement at the crowds disposition, Whitey trades words and insults with the more vocal fans before rolling under the bottom rope.

The bell rings. The two meet up in the center of the ring. Derek Cosmos tries to get the first shot in and he swings at Whitey Ford as soon as the bell rings. Ford blocks it and connects with a right of his own. The two trade blows until Cosmos finally blocks bunch. He unleashes a hard right to Ford’s temple, but Whitey Ford quickly kicks Cosmos right in the gut. Ford shoves Cosmos and then drops him with a clothesline.

Ford pulls Derek Cosmos to his feet and into the center of the ring. Ford now drops him with a DDT. Cosmos grabs his head and rolls out of the ring. He takes a few steps around the ring, holding his forehead with one hand and his jaw with the other. Clearly he hasn’t received all of the dental work that he needed to after his recent run-in with the Black Hand.

Cosmos returns the ring and the two lock up. Ford scoops Cosmos up with a body slam, dropping Cosmos to the mat.

Whitey Ford stands up and he drops an elbow onto Derek Cosmos. He then stands up and drops another. He goes for the third, when Cosmos rolls out of the way. Ford rolls to his feet as Cosmos pushes himself up. Ford is the first to stand completely, firing off a front kick to a doubled over Cosmos. Cosmos stumbles back a step as Ford moves in. Ford then steps forward, grabs Cosmos and he drops him down to the mat with a release Northern Lights suplex.

Ford pulls Cosmos up. Cosmos kicks him in the stomach. He sets him up and connects with a suplex. Derek Cosmos waits for Ford to get up and, when he does, he sends him back down to the mat with a single leg dropkick.

Cosmos reaches down to pull Ford up, but Ford drives his elbow into Cosmos’ injured jaw, staggering him. Ford gets up and he drops Derek Cosmos with another DDT. He goes for a cover and gets two.

Ford pulls Cosmos to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Cosmos counters with a whip of his own. The countered move catches referee Joseph Buckland out of position and Ford crashes into him. The referee falls through the ropes and hits the mats on the outside with a thud.

Whitey Ford is also staggered from the collision. This gives Derek Cosmos the opportunity to leap off of the ropes and hit him with a soaring crossbody! Cosmos pulls Ford up once more and he Irish whips him off of the ropes once again. This time Ford rebounds and he hits Cosmos with a brutal Rehab Spear! He goes for the cover just as Charles Lim dives into the ring to replace the fallen Joseph Buckland! Ford with a cover:
1....
2....
3!

The bell rings and Ford celebrates his victory. However, it’s cut short as the voice of PCW President Frank Foley is heard. Foley steps through the curtain with a microphone.

Frank Foley: “Hold on. Hold on. Not so fast. This match isn’t over yet.”

Whitey Ford is irate. He is about to charge at Foley, but Foley continues to speak.

Frank Foley: “Relax Whitey Ford. I’m just trying to be fair. The official sanctioned referee in this contest is Joseph Buckland. Therefore, until he is able to regain his faculties and resume his referee duties, this match is on hold.”

Whitey Ford is outraged. Derek Cosmos is confused. The crowd is restless.

Charles Lim leaves the ring and tries to assist Joseph Buckland, who is slowly getting back to his feet. After several minutes, Buckland manages to return to the ring. He looks over at Foley and nods.

Frank Foley: “Well okay, everything is all set now. The match can resume. Good luck to both of you.”

Frank Foley leaves the ringside area while Whitey Ford glares at him. Derek Cosmos takes advantage and he rolls Whitey Ford up from behind!

1....
2....

Ford kicks out!

Both men are back up on their feet now. Ford suddenly kicks Cosmos in the stomach. He sets him up and drops him with a Backtoss Piledriver! Whitey Ford with a cover:

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

This time the bell rings and this time the match result is official. Whitey Ford is victorious.

Winner by pinfall: Whitey Ford @ 7:32

Singles Match
Grimm vs. Eira
Referee: Charles Lim

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.

Sparse percussion resonates throughout the arena and is soon joined by a droning, distorted bass line. At that, A Perfect Circle’s ”Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums” stomps out of the speakers and marches through the aisles. The drums, the distortion, the voices – all work to herald the arrival of Grimm.

Don’t fret, precious, I’m here. Step away from the window.

He walks out to a single blue-white spotlight, stops to bask in the light and shadows, and scans the crowd. The Lord of Misrule closes his eyes and sighs before making the long walk to the ring, ignoring the fans along the way. The spotlight follows. The words work their way up through the layers of the song.

Go back to sleep.

Phinehas climbs up onto the apron and slides in between the ropes. Hopping up onto a turnbuckle, he casts his gaze out over the crowd with his arms at his side, eyes shifting to take in the sea of faces spread out before him. Grimm then drops down. And waits.

Grimm and Eira tentatively circle each other before locking up in a collar-and-elbow tie up. Each competitors jockeys for the advantage but Grimm is the one to gain control with a side headlock. He cranks it in tighter, but Eira manages to break free. She then leaps up and drops Grimm with a high angle dropkick! Both competitors scramble to their feet but it is Grimm who is sent to the mat courtesy of a hard clothesline by Eira. Grimm quickly bails to the outside to regroup with his Black Hand teammates who have now joined him at ringside.

Grimm rolls himself back into the ring and the official keeps the two separated until Grimm is back to his feet. They circle each other again before attempting a lock up, but Grimm plants a boot to the mid-section of Eira and follows it up with a hard right hand. The blow staggers Eira back a step allowing Grimm to connect with a back elbow to the face. Eira hits the mat and Grimm drops a leg across the back of her neck.

Grimm drags Eira to her feet before whipping her into the nearest corner. He follows up with a charging clothesline. Eira hangs in the corner, giving Grimm the opportunity to drive four solid knees to the stomach and ribs of Eira. Grimm brings Eira out of the corner with a snapmare.

He then pulls Eira to her feet before whipping her across the ring into the opposite corner. Grimm follows his opponent in with a clothesline. Eira stumbles out of the corner and collapses onto the mat,

Grimm pulls Eira up, but she decks him with a series of swift body blows. Grimm takes several steps backwards from the force of the blows and Eira uses this space to take him down with a spear!

Eira pulls Grimm to his feet. She attempts to whip Grimm into the ropes, but he reverses it. On the rebound, Grimm drops to the mat, Eira jumps over him and rebounds off of the opposite ropes catching Grimm with a flying forearm.

Eira with a cover and a two-count.

Eira waits for Grimm to get to his feet and she quickly lunges at him taking him down with a tackle. Eira unloads with stiff forearms until the referee calls for a break.

After pulling her opponent up, Eira Irish whips Grimm into the corner. She charges at him and is met with a boot to the head. Eira stumbles back and Grimm clotheslines her down to the mat hard. He goes for a cover.

He gets two.

Grimm pulls Eira up and sets her up, but Eira manages to get free and she slips behind Grimm. Before Grimm can turn around, Eira takes him down with a drop toe hold. Bouncing off the ropes, Eira nails Grimm with a running leg drop.

Measuring Grimm, Eira sets him up for a huge side thrust kick. Eira connects knocking Grimm down flat on the mat.

Eira with a cover and Grimm barely kicks out!

Eira stands seconds before her opponent gets to his feet. When he does, she leaps up and hits him with a hurricanrana! She rolls through and goes for a cover and again she gets a two count!

Eira pulls Grimm up once more. She attempts a suplex but Grimm blocks it. Grimm then breaks free and he takes Eira down with a vicious clothesline!

Grimm pulls Eira up, throws her into the corner and begins to drive his shoulder into Eira's stomach. After several shots, Eira grimaces in pain and falls to the mat. Grimm now pulls Eira up and he hits a fisherman’s suplex.

He goes for a cover, but Eira kicks out.

Grimm waits for his opponent to stand and then he charges at her. Eira dodges the attempted clothesline and counters with a drop toe hold into the ropes. Grimm hits the ropes throat-first, causing him to clutch his throat in pain. Eira quickly grabs onto Grimm head and nails him with a double arm DDT!

Whipping Grimm to the ropes, Eira attempts a clothesline but Grimm ducks. Grimm goes for a clothesline of his own but the two end up clotheslining each other! Both competitors are down on the mat as the crowd cheers this incredibly competitive match.

Slowly, both Grimm and Eira get to their feet. Grimm tries to go for another clothesline but Eira ducks and sprints to the ropes. Both wrestlers bounce off the ropes on opposite sides. When then meet in the center of the ring, Eira nails Grimm with a brutal spear!

Eira with a cover!

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

And no! Grimm gets his shoulder up before three!

Jerry Andrews: What a match!

Ace Anderson: These two are giving it all here tonight!

Eira stands up now. She pulls Grimm up, but he pushes her aside. He sets her up, but Eira drops down behind him! She then hits him with a dropkick which drops him down to the mat. Eira then goes upstairs...

Fall of the Morning Star!

It connects! Eira with a cover:
1....
2....
3!!!

Winner by pinfall: Eira @ 18:23

Eira rolls off of Grimm and she raises her hand in the air in victory. Almost immediately, Showtime and Sadistic hit the ring. They pounce on Eira.

Jerry Andrews: Oh come on! Eira was just in a very tough, very competitive match with Grimm and she got the victory! This isn't needed!

Ace Anderson: Are you going to go stop the Black Hand?

Jerry Andrews: Well... no.

Ace Anderson: Exactly.

Despite everything she went through in that last match, Eira manages to fight off Showtime and Sadistic, at least long enough to escape the potential three-on-one situation that she was about to be faced with.

Jerry Andrews: Smart move. Those aren't odds that anyone should want to go up against.

Ace Anderson: And the Black Hand looks PISSED that Eira is still standing despite everything.

The three members of the Black Hand stand menacingly in the ring, refusing to leave for anyone as the show goes to commercial.

Trauma returns and the Black Hand is still in the ring. The only good news out of this tense situation is that they're taking part in the next match.

Tag Team Match
Gem & "The Bear" Cory Steel (Underground ♚) vs. Sadistic (World ©) & "Mr. Showtime" Michael Wryght
Referee: Eddie Lane

Jerry Andrews: This is an interesting one! Cory Steel is teaming up with Gem. How is that going to work out?

Ace Anderson: And how is the relationship between Cory Steel and the Black Hand?

Jerry Andrews: We're about to find out!

Gem is the first one out for this controversial tag team match. “Archangel” by Two Steps From Hell unleashes its orchestral might on the masses as Gem makes her way down to the ring to much fanfare. She slaps some hands along the way, but the odds that are stacked against her haven't seemed to ruin her focus. Gem wipes her feet on the apron before entering as her music cuts out and the school bells ring out.

“Heaven Knows” by The Pretty Reckless kicks in as the King of the Underground makes his way out from the back. His reaction from the crowd isn't quite as generous as Gem's was. Throwing off the bear cowl that he cut from a Kentucky bear that he killed with his bare hands, he stomps down to the ring. Something seems a bit off with Steel this week. Cory pulls himself up onto the ring apron and it's clear that there's no love lost between the Bear and Gem.

Jerry Andrews: You've gotta feel for Gem tonight. She's basically in a three-on-one match.

Ace Anderson: I wouldn't be too sure about that. It'll be interesting to see how Cory responds to the Black Hand...

Since Gem is already in the ring, she'll start the match against Billy Sadistic. Eddie Lane starts the contest as the World Champion and the former Queen of the Underground circle each other. The two lock up in the ring and Sadistic quickly takes a side headlock. Gem reverses into a hammerlock and some crisp technical wrestling ensues with some impressive counters and reversals. Sadistic grabs an armbar and tags in Showtime. Gem fights back valiantly, but quick tags and solid teamwork from the Black Hand are beginning to take their toll on the adept striker.

In a burst, Gem is able to take out both opponents with a double clothesline and make the long crawl to her corner. Unfortunately, when she reaches for the tag, Cory just stares down at her. Upon seeing this, Sadistic and Showtime begin laughing. Showtime, the legal member, continues the assault on Gem. Dragging her back into enemy territory, the quick tags continue along with the sometimes illegal double-teams. The Black Hand are able to score several near-falls, but Gem is stubborn and resilient and refuses to stay down.

Jerry Andrews: This isn't even fair. It's essentially Gem versus a couple animals!

Gem gets in a flurry here and there, but the fire is always quenched by the teamwork of the Black Hand. Sadistic takes over on Gem, even going so far as to walk across the ring and offer a fist bump to Cory Steel. The Bear obliges, drawing a harsh reaction from the crowd. Unfortunately, an Irish whip gone bad sends Gem into the referee and all bets are off!

Ace Anderson: Referee down!

Cory continues to simply watch from the ring apron as Sadistic plants Gem with a brainbuster. With the referee down, Showtime takes the liberty to enter the ring. Looking to put the hurt on Gem, Showtime locks in the Spotlight, his version of the Texas Cloverleaf. With Gem defenseless, Sadistic takes the opportunity to apply Phenomenal, his Crossface submission. Tandem submission holds!

Jerry Andrews: They're trying to snap Gem in half!

Despite the incredible pain, Gem continues to try to fight free against the savages as they wrench away on her twisted body. Appraising the situation, Cory deems it time to enter the fray and get his licks in. With Gem's compromised situation, the Bear sizes up his foe and connects with a big boot...right to the side of Showtime's head! And the Pure Class Arena absolutely erupts!

Jerry Andrews: Cory Steel just took out Showtime!!!

Wryght collapses to the mat in a heap. Realizing that something is amiss, Sadistic stands and sees what Steel has done. Infuriated, Billy charges Steel...and runs right into a massive spinebuster! Looking down upon his former allies with gray eyes, Cory grabs Showtime and destroys him with the Sickest Kill I! The three high impact powerbombs have completely wiped out Wryght. Steel turns his attention to Sadistic. The crowd is still roaring as the Bear plants Sadistic with his triple powerbomb finisher! The referee is slowly beginning to stir. The damage done, Cory exits the ring and the entire ringside area to a roar of approval from the crowd, leaving Gem with two demolished opponents.

Ace Anderson: Statement made by Cory Steel! The Bear has just mauled the Black Hand!

Gem has enough wherewithal to cover Sadistic. Eddie Lane is still groggy, but he makes the count. 1..........2..........kickout! Sadistic barely gets the shoulder up...and the crowd groans. Sadistic is slow to his knees, but Gem is there to catch him with the Shine! Sadistic is down again! Gem with the cover...and another slow count. 1..........2..........Showtime makes the save! Gem retaliates with a series of lethal punches and kicks that send Wryght back into the corner. Ever the veteran, the opportunistic Phenom is waiting and when Gem turns around, he strikes with the Sadistic DDT in the center of the ring!!!

Ace Anderson: Aaaaaand that's all, folks!

Gem is out like a light. A weary Billy Sadistic tries to clear his head as he pulls himself up with help from the ring ropes. Staggering over to Gem's fallen body, he drops down for the cover. 1..........2..........kickout!!! The crowd ERUPTS as Gem barely gets the shoulder up!

Jerry Andrews: How is Gem doing this?!

Clearly frustrated, Sadistic pulls Gem up by her hair and drags her towards his corner. In a flash, Gem spins around behind the World Champion and locks in the Endless Night! Sadistic reaches desperately for Showtime, but Gem drags him to the mat with the chokehold and gets the body scissors hooked in! The fans are on their feet as Sadistic struggles against the hold. Showtime has seen enough and enters the ring, but Eddie Lane cuts him off!

Ace Anderson: Sadistic is gonna tap!

In a flash, a red blur comes flying off the top turnbuckle and connects with a diving headbutt to Gem! It's Grimm! Doing damage behind the referee's back, he yards Gem off the mat and drives her into the canvas with the Lament Configuration! The boos are loud and intense! Grimm slithers out of the ring undetected as a half-conscious Sadistic rolls to his corner. Showtime exits the ring just long enough to accept a tag from Billy. Michael quickly enters and makes the cover. 1.....2.....3!

Jerry Andrews: No! Gem...somehow!...gets the shoulder up again! She's not human!

All three members of the Black Hand are visibly frustrated. Having seen enough, Showtime drags Gem to her feet and connects with the Fisherman's Suplex. Eddie Lane is there to make the count. 1...2...3! They're FINALLY able to put Gem away.

Ace Anderson: Gem has put up a valiant effort, but the odds were too great. The Black Hand had to pull out everything, INCLUDING the kitchen sink, to get the win.

Winners by Pinfall: The Black Hand (Michael Wryght pins Gem) @ 17:30

The match has come to a conclusion, but the Black Hand isn't satisfied with just the victory. After Cory Steel's defiance, somebody needs to pay. And that somebody is Gem.

Ace Anderson: This doesn't look good for Gem. I think the Black Hand are cooking up some Snap Crackle Pop.

Jerry Andrews: C'mon, guys. Leave her alone.

Sure enough, Sadistic has retrieved a steel chair from ringside. Grimm enters the ring as the three members of the Black Hand hover over Gem with bad intentions in mind.

Jerry Andrews: Snap. Crackle. Pop.

Ace Anderson: Oh man. Gem is out cold now.

The Black Hand doesn't appear to be done with Gem quite yet.

Jerry Andrews: STOP THIS.

Suddenly, Eira is on the scene! She dives into the ring and tackles Grimm down to the mat. She then stands up and clotheslines Showtime, knocking him out of the ring. Eira turns around, but she's decked by Sadistic! Grimm is back up on his feet and he grabs Eira from behind. He throws her into the corner and then drives his knee into her midsection.

Ace Anderson: Eira did everything she could but with Gem down, it's three-on-one!

Jerry Andrews: This isn't going to be pretty.

Showtime is back in the ring now. Both Showtime and Grimm take turns unloading on Eira, who is still trapped in the corner.

Suddenly, through the crowd comes help! Sadistic doesn't see this and he's taken down from behind by a steel chair shot from...

Jerry Andrews: Whitey Ford!

Ford now begins to unload on Sadistic. Grimm notices what's happening and he turns around. Ford is just a second faster though and he takes Grimm down with a Rehab Spear! Meanwhile, Eira has taken advantage of the distraction and she has battled her way out of the corner. She drops Showtime to the mat with a strong clothesline. She stands up and finds herself face-to-face with Whitey Ford.

The two immediately tense up. Each competitor looks around, sees that the members of the Black Hand are still down on the mat and then returns their gaze to the other person left standing. Ford and Eira continue to glare at one another with intensity.

Jerry Andrews: Oh my God folks that's all the time we have! We'll keep the cameras rolling! Good night!
