Tuesday March 3rd, 2015
The show opens with another rowdy PCW crowd. Jerry Andrews and Ace Anderson are standing at ringside as usual, ready to kick off another exciting episode of PCW Trauma.
Jerry Andrews: Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the final edition of Trauma before Mass Destruction hits and what a show we have tonight!
Ace Anderson: First, we're going to name a number one contender for Nathan Saniti's International Title in a fourway match-up! And then, one of the biggest matches in PCW history....
Jerry Andrews: Four teams. Twelve competitors. One ring. No count outs. No disqualifications. One fall to a finish. I can't believe it.
Ace Anderson: I don't even know what to say about that match. It's going to be chaos!
Jerry Andrews: And speaking of chaos, can you believe the atmosphere here tonight? This crowd is already at a fever pitch and we just started!
Ace Anderson: Oh baby! It's going to be quite a night!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a fourway match to declare the number one contender for the PCW International Championship!"
The crowd cheers.
"Introducing first...."
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. As he 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 he finally reaches the ring, he slides in through the bottom rope and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle to the second rope.
"... from The Outer Reaches of Space: DEREK COSMOS!"
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 opponents.
"And his first opponent..."
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.
"... residing in Los Angeles, California: ALEXA BLACK!"
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 waiting for her next victim.
"And, the next competitor..."
"You Are A Pirate!" by Alestorm plays. 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.
"... from Toronto, Ontario, Canada: HIGH TIDE!"
Chelsea escorts him into the ring, also wearing a pirate "costume" though she has no illusions of being a pirate, but does it to help High Tide get his point across.
"And finally..."
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 the match to begin.
"... from Biloxi, Mississippi: TYRONE 'CRAZY BOY' SMITH!"
International Championship Number One Contenders Match
Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith vs. High Tide vs. Alexa Black vs. Derek Cosmos
Referee: Nigel Gale
Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith vs. High Tide vs. Alexa Black vs. Derek Cosmos
Referee: Nigel Gale
Jerry Andrews: Crazy Boy kind of got this whole thing started last week when he asked for a match against Nathan Saniti for the International Title.
Ace Anderson: And now here we are! Four competitors all vying to compete for that title at Mass Destruction!
The bell rings. The four combatants circle one another. Suddenly, Crazy Boy lunges at Alexa. The two lock up. Crazy Boy shoves her backwards into the corner. Meanwhile, Derek Cosmos approaches High Tide. Tide swings at him. Cosmos ducks the shot and returns it with a shot of his own. It connects. Cosmos follows up with another. And another. He's then taken down from behind by a clothesline from Tyrone Smith.
Ace Anderson: That's the biggest danger of a match like this. You could be attacked by anyone at any time!
Smith turns around and he's dropped with a right hand from Alexa Black.
Ace Anderson: See what I mean?
Alexa reaches down to pull Crazy Boy up, but now Derek Cosmos attacks her from behind. He doesn't get the opportunity to follow up on that attack though as he's leveled by High Tide. Crazy Boy is back on his feet now, but High Tide leaps at him, cutting him in half with a diving spear.
Tide goes for the cover but it's quickly broken up by Black. Alexa Black now pulls High Tide up to his feet and she hits him with a cradle DDT. Before he can capitalize, she's hit with a double axehandle to the back by Derek Cosmos. Black turns around and slugs Cosmos in the face. The two competitors end up exchanging right hands in the middle of the ring.
While this is happening, Crazy Boy climbs to the top ropes. He leaps off with a frog splash, aiming for High Tide....
Jerry Andrews: High risk move from Crazy Boy.... and... no one is home!
Ace Anderson: High Tide rolled out of the way at the last second there!
High Tide capitalizes and covers Crazy Boy, but both Black and Cosmos notice quickly and both competitors break up the pinning attempt.
Cosmos reaches down to pull High Tide up, but Alexa Black clotheslines both competitors down to the mat. Crazy Boy staggers up and Black immediately attacks him, taking him down with a drive by kick! She goes for a cover but only gets two.
High Tide is back up now and, as Alexa Black is getting to her feet, Tide sends her crashing to the mat with a jumping heel kick! He goes for a cover, but the attempt is broken up by Derek Cosmos.
Jerry Andrews: The action is fast and furious here in this match!
Derek Cosmos is immediately taken down to the mat by Crazy Boy who hits him with a big boot right to the face! Smith quickly sets Cosmos up and he hits him with the Crazy Slam!
Ace Anderson: This could be it!
Crazy Boy goes for the cover.... but High Tide jumps on top as well! And Alexa Black joins the pile! The referee counts:
1....
2....
3!
The bell rings, but no one is quite sure what just happened.
Jerry Andrews: Okay.... who won?
Ace Anderson: Ummmm.... not Derek Cosmos?
High Tide, Crazy Boy and Alexa Black are all arguing with referee Nigel Gale now. Gale is struggling to explain himself and clarify his official decision over the three competitors all speaking at once. Eventually Gale points at all three and raises his arm in the air.
Jerry Andrews: So... they all won?
Ace Anderson: I guess....?
Referee Gale slides out of the ring and explains the situation to ring announcer Sasha Greene who listens and then gives the official announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of this match are Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith, High Tide and Alexa Black!"
Jerry Andrews: WHAT!?
Ace Anderson: Well, that does make sense!
Jerry Andrews: But what does this mean for the number one contendership?
Winners: Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith, High Tide and Alexa Black by pinfall @ 11:31
In all of the confusion, no one seems to have noticed that PCW President Frank Foley is now at ringside. That all changes when he picks up a microphone and starts to speak.
Foley: "Great job everyone. Excellent match. Now you're probably wondering what this means for Mass Destruction and I'm here to tell you. At PCW Mass Destruction, Nathan Saniti will defend his International Championship against all three of you in a one-fall to a finish, fourway match!
The crowd cheers.
Ace Anderson: Okay! I like that!
Jerry Andrews: Me too! But maybe Nathan Saniti doesn't.
Ace Anderson: Yeah, he might not....
Jerry Andrews: Either way, we'll be right back folks.
As Trauma returns, Shane Dodge is backstage as Alexa Black walks back through the curtain. He stops her as she walks by.
Shane Dodge: "Alexa, can I have your thoughts on the surprising outcome of tonight's match?"
Alexa Black: "Of course you can, Shane. Now, you see..."
The interview is suddenly cut short as Fraizer Knight and Samson Cage charge into the frame, attacking Black from behind. The two monsters begin to unload on her with a series of stomps.
Jerry Andrews: Oh come on!
Ace Anderson: This situation between the Faces of Fear and Alexa Black just keeps intensifying!
Suddenly, PCW security appears and they manage to drag Knight and Cage away from the scene. However, the damage as been done as Alexa Black is left face down on the arena floor motionless.
Jerry Andrews: What a brutal attack.
Ace Anderson: And after she just competed in a tough match, too!
Back at ringside, 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.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, the King of the Underground: "The Bear" Cory Steel!"
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 hulking monster bounces off the ropes once inside the ring for a few before stopping in the corner to tie his hair back. Watching and wait with his gray eyes.
Jerry Andrews: What is Cory Steel doing down here? His match isn't scheduled for right now...
Ace Anderson: Well, it looks like he has a microphone in his hand, so I think we're about to find out.
Cory Steel: "A few weeks ago I came out here and I promised you blood. I promised you violence. I promised you that no man or woman would dare take this title from around my waist without the toughest fight of their lives. And, since then, no one has dare try to stand face-to-face with The King for my title."
Cory Steel circles the ring with intensity now.
Cory Steel: "But Mass Destruction awaits. And an event with that name begs for brutality. It begs for anarchy. It begs for the Underground. So I am throwing down a challenge to anyone who thinks that the have what it takes to battle in the land of the damned with the King. At Mass Destruction, I face all comers. I will put my crown on the line against anyone who is foolish enough to try and take it. My only rule is that the battle will not end until only one is left standing."
The crowd cheers. Cory Steel looks directly into the camera.
Cory Steel: "An Underground Last Man Standing Elimination Match. Anyone in PCW or from anywhere else is welcome to compete but, I'm warning you now, standing face-to-face with the King will only end in bloodshed and misery."
With that, Cory Steel drops the microphone and turns to leave the ring as Trauma goes to commercial.
Jerry Andrews: Ladies and gentlemen, we're back and right before the commercial break we saw Cory Steel lay down a challenge for what he called "An Underground Last Man Standing Elimination Match." Now we've gotten the official word from PCW officials that the match has been signed for Mass Destruction. Anyone in PCW - or even those who are not in PCW, for that matter - are welcome to participate. The winner of the match will be the last person standing.
Ace Anderson: Wow. I'm really looking forward to that and...
Suddenly there's a disturbance at ringside. The cameras spin around and the catch a man leaping over the guardrail and heading to the ring. It's Dillon Durst, who was last seen on the previous episode of Trauma, brutally attacking Stacy Jones with a lead pipe.
Ace Anderson: What the hell is he doing here now!?
Durst circles the ring, picks up a microphone, rolls into the ring and starts to speak.
Dillon Durst: "Since Trauma all I've been hearing is 'Why are you back?' 'Why now?' 'Why Stacy Jones?' 'What are you doing in PCW?' Well, don't worry... all of your questions will be answered soon enough. But, first, Stacy, I hear you're not too happy about the way I treated you recently. Well, if you want to try to do something about it, I'll be at Mass Destruction. Will you?"
With that, Dillon Durst drops the microphone and leaves the ring.
Jerry Andrews: Did Dillon Durst just challenge Stacy Jones for Mass Destruction?
Ace Anderson: I think he did. Now the question becomes, will Stacy Jones recover from that attack in time to actually compete at Mass Destruction?
Backstage, the camera focuses on the door to Frank Foley's office. Muffled voices can be heard coming from inside, but nothing can be understood. The camera person tries to get closer, but he's almost hit by the door as it opens. Out steps Alexa Black. She turns away from the camera angrily and storms down the hallway, still limping slightly from the beating she suffered earlier.
The camera person is about to follow her when the office door opens once again and out steps Frank Foley. He turns and walks the opposite direction down the hallway. However, after a few steps he runs directly into Whitey Ford.
Ace Anderson: Oh man.
Ford is clearly just arriving at the arena. He has his gear bag with him and he's dressed in street clothes. He looks at Foley with an angry glare. Foley, however, is the first to speak.
Frank Foley: "Ford, are you just getting to the arena now? The show started almost an hour ago..."
Ford looks Foley right in the eyes and speaks.
Whitey Ford: "Yeah, I'm just getting here. What's it to ya?"
Frank Foley: "Well, I'm sorry Ford, but this lateness is unacceptable."
Whitey Ford: "Lateness!? My match isn't happening yet. I haven't missed a thing!"
Frank Foley: "You know as well as I do that official PCW policy states that all talent must arrive at the arena at least half an hour before the show starts."
Whitey Ford: "What the hell are you talking about!? All kinds of guys show...."
Frank Foley: "Rules are rules, Ford. It's only fair that I punish you for this transgression and that means you won't be able to compete in your match tonight."
Ford almost lunges at Foley, but he thinks better of it at the last second.
Whitey Ford: "You're a coward Frank."
Frank Foley: "Maybe next time you'll show up on time. I sure hope your partners for tonight understand why they'll be shorthanded in the main event."
With that, Foley turns and leaves. Whitey Ford throws his bag down to the floor in anger and storms off.
Back at ringside, both Jerry Andrews and Ace Anderson are both visibly shocked by what they just saw.
Jerry Andrews: I can't believe that! Ace, you were a respected PCW competitor for many years. What do you think about what we just saw?
Ace Anderson: I'm shocked and, honestly, a little bit angry. I mean, yeah, we're told to show up at the arena before the show officially begins but, come on. You and I both know that all kinds of people show up later on every single show and not once has anyone been punished for it.
Jerry Andrews: And, speaking of punished, what about Eira and Gem? They now have to go into that big main event as a two-person team against three other teams of three. You can't possibly like those odds.
Ace Anderson: And that's the real problem with all of this. We know that Foley has his issues with Ford and vice versa, but Foley's actions here aren't just hurting Whitey Ford. The're hurting....
Suddenly the feed cuts out.
Static. Hissing. And then a face.
Tha Joka is looking directly into the camera, his face filling the entire frame. He smiles and starts to speak.
Tha Joka: "Well isn't it all just working according to plan? Look at how I got my way and all it took was an old baseball bat, some barbed wire and a little creativity."
Joka laughs a bit.
Tha Joka: "I got my job back, I got the match I wanted and soon... soon I'll have the North American title. Thanks for all of your help, Stormmy."
With that, Joka reaches forward towards the camera. The picture shakes and suddenly screen goes black. It takes a few seconds before the show heads to commercial.
As Trauma returns, Derek Cosmos is seen walking backstage with Seth Archer. Derek clearly looks dejected by the events that took place earlier tonight. Seth has his hood up, still trying to cover his face to hide the injuries he suffered at the hands of Tha Joka.
Derek Cosmos: "I mean, this is a low point for me Seth. I lost another one. At this rate, I might not even be booked at Mass Destruction."
Seth Archer: "I know what you mean. Thanks to my injuries, I haven't been able to compete and now it looks like my only hope of being in the ring at Mass Destruction is to enter that Underground Last Man Standing match... talk about another unsafe work situation!"
The two men turn the corner and the find themselves face-to-face with Kristoff Michaelson, who has clearly been listening to their conversation.
Kristoff Michaelson: "So, Derek, I hear you want a match for Mass Destruction? Well you're looking at it."
Derek Cosmos: "I'm looking at a match? You're a match?"
Kristoff Michaelson: "No. I'm your opponent if you have what it takes to accept this challenge."
Derek Cosmos: "Oh... well, then you should have said...."
Kristoff Michaelson: "Will you accept the challenge or not, Cosmos!?"
Derek Cosmos: "Yeah, I'll take it."
Kristoff Michaelson: "Good."
Derek Cosmos: "Good."
Seth Archer: "Good."
Kristoff Michaelson turns and looks at Seth Archer with a look of confusion and annoyance.
Derek Cosmos: "Good."
Michaelson shakes his head and walks off as the scene cuts back to ringside.
Jerry Andrews: Well it looks like we have another match set for Mass Destruction!
Ace Anderson: You know, that Derek Cosmos is an odd cat.
Jerry Andrews: You don't say?
Ace Anderson: Well, speaking of oddities, Alexa Black is in the ring with a microphone, so it looks like she has something to say.
Jerry Andrews: We saw her leave Frank Foley's office a while ago... I wonder what was up with that?
Alexa Black is circling the ring with a microphone. She waits a moment and then starts to speak.
Alexa Black: "Tonight you saw that I was booked to compete for the International Title at Mass Destruction. You also saw me get attacked FROM BEHIND by those two asshole brutes. Well guys, you want a shot at me so badly.... you've got it. I spoke to Foley and he's removed me from the International Title match at my request."
Jerry Andrews: What!?
Alexa Black: "I want you guys in the ring where you can't go behind my back or sneak attack me anymore. I want to teach you both a lesson. No holds barred. Anything goes. Falls count anywhere. And, to sweeten the deal, let's make it career versus career! If you guys lose, you lose your jobs and leave PCW forever. If I lose, I'll give you what you want and voluntarily go back to Colinga Hospital!"
Jerry Andrews: WHAT!?
Ace Anderson: Is she nuts!?
Jerry Andrews: YES!
Alexa Black: "I'll see you at Mass Destruction!"
“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.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a Twelve Person Four Corners Match!"
LIGHT 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.
"Introducing first, from A Wrestling Ring Near You: LIGHT!"
"I Will be Heard" by Hatebreed explodes through the speakers and out from the back walks Braddock. He strolls down to the ring before climbing the ring steps. He wipes his feet before entering the ring and holds a fist in the air.
"And his first tag team partner, from Santa Cruz, California: BRADDOCK!"
The arena goes dark and the rhythm of "The Pride" and whilst in darkness, Kristoff comes and stands on stage with his head down, allowing his hair to cover his face and a small fog begins to drift in underneath him. As the pace quickens and the drums finally come into play, Kristoff slowly lifts his head and arms as flashing strobe lights begin to light up the stage. With the vocals starting, Kristoff allows his arms to drop before walking slowly to the ring.
"JOHNNY CASH AND PBR! JACK DANIELS! NASCAR!"
"And, their partner...from Round Rock, Texas..."
Kristoff walks past the crowd's outstretched hands by staying in the middle of the ramp whilst walking. He will look around the crowd with disdain before getting to the ring.
"I AM....WHAT YOU FEAR MOST....I AM....WHAT YOU NEED"
"KRISTOFF MICHAELSON!"
Kristoff steps onto the ring apron and steps into the ring before looking around at the crowd once again before stepping onto the middle rope and leaning against the top rope to stare at the crowd. Finally smirking and then stepping away from the ropes.
Jerry Andrews: These three competitors are all relatively new to PCW and I don't think they even really know one another too well. They're in for a battle tonight!
Ace Anderson: Everyone in this match is in for a battle tonight!
"And their first opponents...."
"White Rabbit" by Collide plays. Psychedelic lights of green and purple brighten the ramp and walkway with no rhyme or reason. He 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!
"He is the PCW International Champion: NATHAN SANITI!"
Jerry Andrews: Nathan Saniti is going to face off against High Tide and Crazy Boy in a triple threat match for the International Title at Mass Destruction, but he'll have to get through tonight first!
Ace Anderson: And that's easier said than done!
"And his first partner...."
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 hulking monster bounces off the ropes once inside the ring for a few before stopping in his corner to tie his hair back. Watching and wait with his gray eyes.
"... he is the King of the Underground: 'THE BEAR' CORY STEEL!"
Jerry Andrews: Earlier tonight we saw Cory Steel lay down a challenge to just about anyone to face him in a Last Man Standing Match for the Underground Title!
Ace Anderson: He's certainly looking for a fight!
The arena lights dim down to a gentle glow and the sound of pouring rain fills the arena to the brim as an orange fog begins to cover the entrance way. Hardly containing themselves already, the fans start to rise to their feet as a sudden bright flash of orange lights flood the crowd before a deafening crash of thunder rattles the foundation and leaves the arena in darkness. The pre-chorus rift to "Crash" by Decyfer Down instigates a small riot amongst those in attendance as orange flashes, like lightning, illuminate the way for the Force of Nature, and Justin Michaels appears through the curtain and onto the stage.
"CRASH! YOU'RE GOING DOWN! WITHOUT A SOUND!"
"And their final partner..."
Justin plays to the cheers of the fans from atop the ramp, and marches back and forth while interacting with those in attendance. He nods his head and points towards the fans recognizing all the support they provide before turning his attention back to the ring, and starts to make his way towards the squared circle.
"THEN I'LL PASS YOU UP, BEFORE I EXPLODE! BREAKING IN TWO! I'LL SEE IT THROUGH!"
"... he is the PCW North American Champion..."
Having made it to ringside, Stormm patrols around to the opposite side of the ring and gives a salute towards Ace Anderson and Jerry Andrews before hopping up onto the apron. He climbs through the ropes, and gives a quick nod towards Sasha before motioning to the crowd once more.
"YOU WON'T KEEP ME DOWN WHEN I CRASH THROUGH YOU!"
"THE Force of Nature... JUSTIN "STORMM" MICHAELS!"
Justin immediately scales the nearest turnbuckle to raise his hands into the air for all to see. The flash bulbs surge throughout the arena as the orange lights brighten back to the venue's usual lighting. Justin repeats his actions and poses on the turnbuckle in the opposite corner before hopping down from the corner as his music fades out, but the overwhelming applause does not as he stands the ready for his match.
Ace Anderson: You know, they're calling this trio of champions "The Gold Hand."
Jerry Andrews: Who's calling them that?
Ace Anderson: People.
Jerry Andrews: People? Which people? Where?
Ace Anderson: Internet.
Jerry Andrews: Argh. Either way, we've talked about the challenges facing Nathan Saniti and Cory Steel at Mass Destruction, how about Stormm? He's putting his title on the line against that lunatic Tha Joka.
Ace Anderson: I don't even want to talk about him. That guy enrages me.
"And, the third team..."
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.
"Introducing first: EIRA!"
The hard edge of Anberlin's "Little Tyrants" opening chords sound throughout the arena as Gem appears at the top of the ramp with Grant at her side. As the full power soars out over the PCW Faithful, she makes her way down the ramp. Gem awkwardly but enthusiastically moves glides along, acknowledging her fans, touching her hands along their outstretched reach, occasionally offering a smile or nod of appreciation as Grant follows. Aggressive, edge vocals with a counterpoint of intense, percussive guiar 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, Grant taking up a position ringside.
"And her tag team partner: GEM!"
Jerry Andrews: Whitey Ford was supposed to be a member of this team but he was banned from the match by Frank Foley!
Ace Anderson: I still can't believe that! What are Gem and Eira supposed to do here!?
The lights dim as the stomping and clapping starts as Johnny Cash's “God's Gonna Cut You Down” blares throughout the arena. “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght, Grimm and “The Phenom” Billy Sadistic make their way out from the back as a cohesive unit. They are met with boos and jeers as they head down to the ring together.
"And, their opponents, the team of “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght, Grimm and the PCW World Heavyweight Champion, Billy Sadistic: THE BLACK HAND!"
Jerry Andrews: Despite everything, despite the mutual respect that Gem and Eira have for one another, despite the familiarity that Stormm, Steel and Saniti have, despite the enthusiasm and element of surprise that LIGHT, Braddock and Michaelson have, look at the Black Hand. The are one unit. They walk out together. And they have ruled this company for several months now.
Ace Anderson: I don't like it, but I have to agree with you there Jerry.
Twelve Person Four Corners Match
The Black Hand [Sadistic (World ©), Grimm, Michael Wryght]
vs. "The Bear" Cory Steel (Underground ♚), Nathan Saniti (International ©) & Justin "Stormm" Michaels (North American ©) vs. LIGHT, Braddock & Kristoff Michaelson vs. Whitey Ford, Eira & Gem
Referees: Charles Lim, Joseph Buckland & Eddie Lane
The Black Hand [Sadistic (World ©), Grimm, Michael Wryght]
vs. "The Bear" Cory Steel (Underground ♚), Nathan Saniti (International ©) & Justin "Stormm" Michaels (North American ©) vs. LIGHT, Braddock & Kristoff Michaelson vs. Whitey Ford, Eira & Gem
Referees: Charles Lim, Joseph Buckland & Eddie Lane
The bell rings and this insane match is underway. Almost immediately, the three members of the Black Hand attack the shorthanded twosome of Gem and Eira. The two women put up a strong fight, but they're eventually overwhelmed by the numbers game.
Meanwhile, Stormm, Saniti and Steel have begun battling with Michaelson, Braddock and LIGHT. Cory Steel charges at Braddock and he clotheslines him over the top ropes! The force of the shot sends both men tumbling over the ropes and to the outside!
Ace Anderson: I didn't expect any less, but this match is starting out what absolute chaos!
Saniti and Michaelson exchange blows with one another. Saniti eventually ducks a shot and returns fire with a series of strikes that back Michaelson into the corner. LIGHT is dropped to the mat by a dropkick from Stormm. LIGHT rolls under the ropes to the outside. Stormm now flies through the ropes with a suicide dive that connects, sending LIGHT crashing into the guardrail!
Jerry Andrews: WOW!
Grimm and Sadistic double team Eira, driving her skull-first into the mat with a horrendous spike piledriver! Showtime battles with Gem. He tosses her into the corner and drives his knee into her stomach. He then pulls her out of the corner, but Gem quickly responds with a series of throat thrusts that cause Wryght to stagger backwards. Gem now leaps up and hits him with a missile dropkick! He falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring.
Meanwhile, somehow Braddock and Cory Steel have made their way into the crowd. The two men are just unloading on one another, battling it out amongst the PCW Faithful. Braddock picks up a chair and throws it at Cory Steel, who manages to duck at the last second before the chair hits him in the skull. He charges at Braddock and tackles him, sending him crashing onto a pile of chairs that have been vacated b members of the crowd.
Cory Steel now stands up, pulls Braddock up and he hits him with a powerbomb right on top of the pile of chairs!
Jerry Andrews: OH MY GOD!
Back inside the ring, Gem turns around and she's dropped by a big right hand from Grimm. Grimm and Sadistic pick her up and they throw her through the ropes and to the outside. Grimm follows her outside while Sadistic remains in the ring and he turns his attention to Nathan Saniti who has just hit Kristoff Michaelson with a Whirling Dervish! Sadistic attacks him from behind, sending him down to the mat with a clubbing blow to the back of the head. Sadistic then pulls up Kristoff and he hits him with a release German suplex. Michaelson hits the mat hard and falls out of the ring.
Sadistic turns around and he's hit with a big flying leg lariat by Nathan Saniti! Saniti now turns, runs and leaps over the ropes hitting both Grimm and Gem on the outside with a flying crossbody!
Jerry Andrews: This is outstanding!
Ace Anderson: The crowd is going nuts!
Sadistic slowly stands up. He turns around and is dropped by a spear from Eira! The force of the move sends Sadistic falling through the ropes to the outside! Eira follows him out there.
Jerry Andrews: All of these people and not a single one of them is in the ring!
Ace Anderson: I love it!
Outside the ring, Showtime grabs Michaelson and he throws him shoulder-first into the guardrail. On the other side of the ring, Stormm has LIGHT set up and he tosses him over the guardrail and into the crowd! Nathan Saniti pulls Gem up and he drives her face-first into the side of the ring. Meanwhile, Grimm attacks Justin Michaels from behind and the two of them begin brawling.
Saniti now throws Gem into the ring stairs. Showtime picks her up and drops her face-first back down onto the stairs while Saniti turns his attention to Kristoff Michaelson who is just starting to stand up. Saniti clotheslines him and he falls over the guardrail and into the crowd. Saniti follows him!
Sadistic and Eira continue to battle with one another at ringside while Cory Steel and Braddock seem to have disappeared even deeper into the crowd.
Jerry Andrews: We're sorry folks, but our camera people are having trouble keeping track of where everyone is!
Ace Anderson: Find them! Find them! I don't want to miss a minute of this!
Jerry Andrews: We're going to have to take a break, but maybe things will be more orderly when we get back!
Ace Anderson: Yeah right!
Jerry Andrews: Okay folks, we're back and, I didn't think it was possible, but this match has gotten even more chaotic!
Ace Anderson: There's still no one in the ring!!
Jerry Andrews: But there are now several competitors in the crowd!
Ace Anderson: And in the entrance way! Look at Grimm and Stormm!
The two competitors are battling it out right on the entrance stage! Suddenly Justin Michaels sets Grimm up and he hits him with a brutal Hangcloud DDT onto the stage!
Jerry Andrews: MY GOD!
Meanwhile, Nathan Saniti and Kristoff Michaelson are battling it out in the crowd!
Jerry Andrews: They're in the upper deck now!
Ace Anderson: Speaking of upper decks, WATCH OUT!
On the other side of the arena, LIGHT has managed to get up onto a balcony! He now dives off of the balcony, aiming for Michael Wryght. Showtime ducks and LIGHT hits the ground with a thud!
Jerry Andrews: Oh no.
Ace Anderson: That was bad. Really bad.
Showtime starts to make his way back to the ring, leaving LIGHT behind. EMTs begin to rush out to check on LIGHT's condition. They immediately stabilize his head and bring out a back board.
Jerry Andrews: LIGHT may be out of this match.
Back on the ramp, Stormm is still taking it to Grimm when suddenly.....
Ace Anderson: Oh come on! Get him out of here!
It's Tha Joka! He's wrapped barbed wire around Stormm's neck! Stormm tries to get his hands up to protect his throat, but there isn't much you can do to protect yourself from barbed wire! Tha Joka drags Stormm backstage through the entrance way by pulling on the wire wrapped around his neck!
Jerry Andrews: Oh... that's.... that's sick.
The cameras finally catch up with Braddock and Cory Steel who are in the crowd fighting. They're managing to make their way back to the ringside area however. Cory Steel charges at Braddock with a big boot. Braddock dodges it and he drops Steel with a big right hand. He then picks up a steel chair and cracks it across Cory's spine.
Meanwhile...
Jerry Andrews: Oh my God! Saniti and Michaelson are on the second deck of the arena!
Michaelson steps forward and he hits a Lights Out superkick knocking Nathan Saniti off of the upper deck and onto a souvenir stand below!
*HOLY SHIT!* *HOLY SHIT!* *HOLY SHIT!*
Showtime is now back at ringside. Him and Gem are battling it out. Gem grabs Showtime and she slams him head-first into the announce table! She then lifts him up and drapes him across the table!
Jerry Andrews: No! Come on! Leave our table alone!
Gem now rolls into the ring, climbs to the top turnbuckle and she leaps off with a flying splash onto Showtime, breaking through the table!
Jerry Andrews: What the..... hello? Hello?
Ace Anderson: Are we off the air...!?
The EMTs have come back out, this time for Nathan Saniti. He shakes them off and struggles back to his feet. He then starts to make his way back down to the ringside area.
As Trauma returns, the announce team is back on the air!
Jerry Andrews: Ladies and gentlemen...
Ace Anderson: LOOK AT THIS!
Eira and Sadistic are battling in the crowd. Eira throws Sadistic onto a pile of chairs. She then grabs a chair and throws it onto his prone body! And another! And another! And another! And another!
Ace Anderson: EIRA IS BURYING SADISTIC IN CHAIRS!
The onslaught stops when Eira is attacked from behind by Showtime! But then....
Jerry Andrews: IT'S WHITEY FORD!
Whitey Ford comes charging through the crowd with a steel chair! He swings it at Showtime and connects, knocking Showtime to the floor! Grimm charges at Ford. Ford swings. Grimm ducks. Ford hits Eira right in the face with the chair!
Jerry Andrews: Oh no!
Ace Anderson: That was clearly an accident, but...
Suddenly PCW security storm the scene. They grab Whitey Ford and forcefully pull him away from the match. Grimm leans over and he helps pull Sadistic out of the pile of chairs that he was buried under. Sadistic slowly climbs over the guardrail and he starts to make his way back to the ring. Braddock and Cory Steel are doing the same thing. So is Nathan Saniti.
Steel tackles Braddock to the floor. He then pulls him up. Braddoc shoves him backwards and clotheslines him down to the mats at ringside. Braddock rolls into the ring. He's suddenly grabbed by Billy Sadistic!
Jerry Andrews: SADISTIC DDT!
A cover:
1....
2....
Nathan Saniti dives into the ring for the save.
It's too late!
3!!!
The bell rings. But that doesn't mean the brawl is over. Kristoff Michaelson attacks Showtime from behind. Showtime counters and he drops Michaelson throat-first onto the guardrail. Eira is suddenly clotheslined over the guardrail and into the crowd by Cory Steel. Gem attacks Steel from behind only to be attacked from behind herself by Grimm.
Finally, after all of that chaos, the Black Hand reconvenes at ringside, and momentarily celebrates their victory.
Winners: The Black Hand by pinfall (Billy Sadistic pins Braddock) @ 45.37
Jerry Andrews: Oh my lord what a match!
Ace Anderson: I'm exhausted just from watching that!
With the mayhem finally coming to an end in the ring, the Black Hand have wisely chosen to retreat up the ramp. The remaining competitors remain scattered throughout the arena, visibly exhausted from the grueling contest. Eira and Gem make their way to the middle of the ring. Steel and Saniti, have taken a stand near the ropes closest to the aisle. Hanging out in the back is the remaining newcomers: Braddock, and Michaelson. Each team has suffered casualties. And it's readily apparent that the Black Hand haven't made any friends here tonight.
Jerry Andrews: That was one helluva match, but it's clear that nothing was decided here tonight. Yes, each other team is now missing a member, but The Black Hand are still outnumbered six-to-three and they're smart enough to know when the odds aren't in their favor, so they've executed a tactical retreat.
Somewhere along the lines, Showtime has managed to get a black-gloved hand on a microphone. Standing at the top of the ramp with a Dillinger brother flanking him on either side, Michael Wryght raises the mic to his mouth and waits for the fans to simmer down.
Michael Wryght: If I didn't know any better, I'd say that tonight the odds have been firmly stacked against us. But at Mass Destruction, it's going to be even-Steven three-on-three...and I'll take those odds any day of the week. We will impose our dominance, and two weeks from now I envision Complete Destruction!
Showtime's proclamation is met with a negative response from the Faithful.
Michael Wryght: But right now, I'm seeing something different. I see PCW's marked souls gathered in one ring. Billy, what do you see?
Showtime tilts the mic over to the World Champion.
Billy Sadistic: I want to see their faces...painted black. Black as night. Black as coal!
With that, Showtime drops the microphone and raises his arms to the heavens. And that's when it happens...
SPLASH!!!
A large wave of black paint tsunamis down from the top of the arena and blasts the ring! Black paint splashes everywhere, splattering on the fans that were unfortunate enough to pony up the dough for front row seats. All wrestlers in and around the ring are completely drenched in darkness.
Ace Anderson: Son of a bi...!
Yep. Even Ace and Jerry got douched. It's at this point that Trauma takes a commercial break.
When PCW returns from commercial break, the ring is empty. The stage hands have done their best to mop up the paint, but the canvas has been horribly stained from the black bath.
Jerry Andrews: Well...that was certainly something else. More mind games from the Black Hand. Trying to gain a psychological advantage before their big Complete Destruction cage match at Mass Destruction. We're basically out of time here folks, we've just held on and got a bit of extra time from....
The PCW-tron comes to life to show Shane Dodge backstage with Showtime, Sadistic, and Grimm. They are clearly pleased with themselves.
Shane Dodge: That was a pretty powerful message you guys sent out there. Care to comment?
Dodge extends the microphone to the nearest Black Hand member. Grimm. Phinehas simply stares at an experienced reporter that should know better. Grimm's expression remains unchanged.
Grimm: You piece of crap.
Sadistic bursts into laughter. Shane is confused. Showtime leans in towards the microphone, but everyone's attention is suddenly drawn just off camera. The shot pans out to find a physically angry Gem glaring at the trio with fists clenched. The sight of Gem draws a roar from the PCW Faithful. Most of the black paint has been wiped away, but some still remains. Sadistic can be heard chuckling as he grabs the microphone and speaks with a thick Southern drawl.
Sadistic: Well, well, well. If it ain't the Little Engine That Couldn't...
Gem continues to match Sadistic's glare.
Sadistic: Has the mute come to say something? Or is she just gonna stand there lookin' stupid? I think you've wandered into the wrong neck of the woods, little girl. Now...you'd best run on home before the Black Hand is forced to spank your little bottom blue.
Gem does not run home. On the contrary, she takes an aggressive step forward and comes nose to nose with the Phenom. Sadistic snarls, baring his sharp teeth, but Gem won't be deterred. In an instant, Phinehas and Showtime have moved on each side of the assassin.
Shane Dodge: Now, now, fellas...
Grimm nonchalantly shoves Dodge out of the picture. In a flash, Grant has jumped into the mix. Gem's companion stands shoulder-to-shoulder with her as they valiantly face off against the unruly trio. Sadistic and Showtime exchange glances...as if to wonder 'are they serious right now?'
Ace Anderson: This definitely doesn't bode well for Gem and her friend...
Grimm, Sadistic, and Showtime move to pounce...but then suddenly freeze. The fans let out a cheer that slowly and steadily turns to a roar. The camera has panned out to find Eira standing not too far behind Gem. Behind her Nathan Saniti. And Cory Steel. And Braddock. And Kristoff Michaelson.
Jerry Andrews: I think the PCW roster has had just about enough of the Black Hand's crap!
Grimm, Showtime, and Sadistic begin to back away. Clearly frustrated, Sadistic reaches down and scoops up Shane Dodge's microphone.
Sadistic: This has gone on long enough. Gem! You're out of your league. Just 'cause these people and those people out there think you're good don't mean you are good! You don't belong in the same ring as the Black Hand, let alone the biggest match of the biggest show of the year! Your magical little run of main event matches is going to come to an end. Right now. Not only am I gonna put you in your place...I'm gonna put you out of commission!
The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Sadistic: I want you one-on-one. Waddaya say? You got the guts to step into the ring with me without your buddies, you main event whore?
Gem hasn't broken eye contact. There is a brief moment of silence as she watches Sadistic's face...almost analyzing him. And then she gives a single, deliberate nod. Her allies erupt from behind her, cheering her on.
Grant: You're damn right she does!
Sadistic has already turned and headed out to the ringside area.
Ace Anderson: It looks like we're going to have an impromptu main event! We've got to get our feed extended! Gem versus Billy Sadistic is coming up next when we come back! Don't turn this show away! It's late, but we'll be back!

Sadistic (World ©) vs. Gem
Referee: Eddie Lane
Trauma returns from its last commercial break to find PCW's World Champion already waiting anxiously in the ring. Sadistic is almost shaking with excitement at the thought of getting his hands on Gem. The hard edge of Anberlin's opening chords to “Little Tyrant” sound throughout the arena as Gem marches out from the back with Grant on her heels. The assassin is all business as her eyes remain trained on the Phenom.
Jerry Andrews: Okay, we've got the extra TV time. This is costing us, but damn if it isn't worth the money! This has been brewing for quite some time. Sadistic has been calling out Gem for months. Belittling her. Goading her. Trying to humiliate her. Now she's finally got the chance to shut him up and prove to the world that she belongs in the main event.
Ace Anderson: A hundred bucks says this one doesn't end cleanly. Not with Sadistic's Black Hand brothers lurking about.
Gem wipes her feet on the ring apron before entering the squared-circle. Eddie Lane, pulling double duty officiating tonight, checks both competitors before starting the impromptu match. Sadistic has the size, strength, and experience advantage, but Gem has him trumped in speed, agility, and motivation. Sadistic doesn't waste any time going after his smaller opponent. The Phenom lunges after Gem, but she nimbly dodges out of the way and peppers him with body kicks. The cat and mouse continues with Gem continuing to elude Sadistic and go to the body. The shots to the body are beginning to take their toll and Billy is getting visibly frustrated.
Jerry Andrews: Gem is using speed and a sound strategy to stay out of Sadistic's reach.
Gem evades Sadistic's advances as Grant yells encouragement from ringside. The young assassin is at the top of her game and seemingly has the World Champion well-scouted. Sadistic nearly has Gem cornered, but a lunge forward leaves Sadistic facing the turnbuckles holding nothing but air. The Phenom turns and takes a barrage of pinpoint strikes that knock him into the corner. Gem turns to run the ropes, but the wily veteran Sadistic grabs her by the hair and slams the back of her head into the mat. The fans boo the questionable tactic, but Sadistic feels no remorse for his actions. Having his young opponent right where he wants her, he drops a stiff stomp right into Gem's chest!
Ace Anderson: Things aren't looking good for Gem. The champ has really slowed the pace of this match, and that clearly favors Sadistic.
Jerry Andrews: Obviously both competitors have been through a lot tonight and this is where the champion's experience pays off.
Indeed, Sadistic takes full advantage and unleashes all manner of dirty, underhanded punishments upon Gem. Just when it looks like Sadistic is about to be disqualified, he breaks whatever illegal hold it is he has applied. He isn't just trying to punish her(which he's doing a fine job of), he's trying to humiliate her. Holding onto the ropes for leverage, pulling her hair, gouging her eyes...you name it, Sadistic is doing it. The Faithful are clearly not in favor of Sadistic's extra-brutal tactics.
Jerry Andrews: Billy Sadistic isn't just trying to beat her. He's making an example of her. He's trying to put her out of commission.
Sadistic follows up a body slam by slapping Gem across the face. More booing from the crowd. Sadistic attempts a cover by placing a boot on Gem's chest. Gem kicks out and tries to crawl towards the corner, but Sadistic is there with a vicious stomp to the back. And another. And another. Yarding Gem up off the canvas, he plants her with a German suplex before heading to the top rope. A perfect swandive headbutt from the top turnbuckle connects and Gem is hurting in a bad way.
Jerry Andrews: This is sick.
Ace Anderson: This is Billy Sadistic. Since his return last year, the Phenom has been nearly unstoppable. He's destroyed everyone put in his path on his way to winning the World Championship, and it looks like Gem will be his next victim.
The Phenom locks Gem in for the Sadistic DDT...but the youngster is able to counter with a release Northern Lights suplex! The crowd is back behind Gem, but she's still exhausted. Sadistic is back up first and he drives a knee into Gem's ribs! Dragging Gem to the corner by her hair, he pulls her up and Irish whips her to the opposite corner, but Gem reverses! Sadistic his the corner hard and Gem is right behind him with a spear into the corner that drives the wind from his lungs! Sadistic staggers and drops to his hands and knees. Gem nimbly runs up the turnbuckles before launching off the top and crushing Sadistic with a double foot stomp to the back! Gem with the cover! 1...2...kickout!
Jerry Andrews: Gem's caught her second wind, and she's taking the fight to the World Champion!
Grant bangs his fists on the ring apron as the fans are stomping and clapping along with him! The whole Pure Class Arena is squarely in the corner of Gem! Now it's Sadistic who is hurting in a bad way. Gem sizes Sadistic up before connecting with a precision kick to the back of the head!
Ace Anderson: Cold! Gem just connected with Cold...and Sadistic might be OUT cold!
Gem makes the cover and hooks the leg, but Sadistic is able to get the shoulder up at two. Gem locks in an arm lock, but Sadistic slowly powers his way back to his feet. Gem continues to fight for the submission, but Sadistic shrugs her up into the air and smashes her with a modified powerbomb! The wind is taken out of the crowd's sails. Ready to put an end to Gem once and for all and snap her in half, Sadistic locks in his crossface submission hold.
Jerry Andrews: Phenomenal. He calls it Phenomenal, and he's got it locked in right in the center of the ring! I think Gem's luck has just. Run. Out.
The fans try to rally behind Gem to give her the strength to fight out of the hold, but she's got nowhere to go. Sadistic continues to wrench on Gem's neck and she's fading fast. Gem slowly inches towards the ropes, but Sadistic's got her locked in tight. Eddie Lane checks with Gem, but she refuses to tap out.
Ace Anderson: Gem will pass out before she taps out.
But she'll do neither. In a last ditch effort, Gem is able to curl her fingers around the bottom rope! The fans let out a sigh of relief as Sadistic fully utilizes the five-count before breaking the hold.
Jerry Andrews: You can't break this Gem!
Gem struggles to stand as Sadistic lays in heavy stomps. Amused with Gem's determination, Sadistic crouches in the corner and waits for her to stand. And then he blasts her with a lunging clothesline! Gem is running on fumes as Sadistic pulls her to her feet and locks her head under his arm. He mocks the fans and then mocks Grant with his free hand before planting Gem on the top of her head in the center of the ring with the Sadistic DDT!
Ace Anderson: Sadistic DDT. That should do it.
Having put Gem in her place, Sadistic laughs to himself while wagging a finger at Grant who watches angrily from ringside. Scooting back over to Gem, he casually rolls her onto her back and reclines over her body with his arms lazily outstretched in a victory pose. Eddie Lane slides into position to make the count.
Jerry Andrews: One...two...thr...WHAT THE HELL?!
In a flash, Gem has somehow maneuvered beneath Sadistic and locked in a Tazzmission! It takes the fans a moment to realize what's happened, but when they do they're on their feet!
Ace Anderson: Gem's got the Endless Night locked in!!!
Sadistic rolls onto his stomach with Gem hanging off his back and works his way to his feet! The Phenom reaches for the ropes, but Gem uses what's left of her remaining strength to pull Sadistic back towards the center of the ring!
Jerry Andrews: Can she do it?! Does Gem have enough left in the tank to submit the World Champion?!
Sadistic presses forward dragging Gem along in his quest to reach the ropes. The Phenom's fingers are able to reach the top rope, and that's when Gem executes a martial arts trip to bring Sadistic back to the mat! She's able to slide in a body scissors and the Faithful are cheering so loud that the Pure Class Arena is rumbling!
Ace Anderson: She's got it! She's got it!
The ropes are nearly within reach of Sadistic's outstretched hand! And here come Grimm and Showtime! Plowing through the crowd and hopping the guardrail...
Jerry Andrews: No. Not like this!
Out of nowhere, Eira is on the scene! She blindsides Phinehas and Wryght with a charging shoulder tackle! Caught by surprise, Grimm and Showtime spin to their feet and make for the ring. But it's too late...
TAP TAP TAP
Jerry Andrews: He tapped! Billy Sadistic just tapped out! Gem has submitted the World Champion!!!
The PCW Faithful explode! Every fan is on their feet and the volume is deafening!
Ace Anderson: Is she main event material now?! Can you see her now?!
Gem releases the hold and rolls to the outside where she's met by an ecstatic Grant!
Winner: Gem by submission @ 17:44
Showtime and Grimm roll into the ring alongside an infuriated Billy Sadistic as Gem, Eira and Grant backpedal up the ramp.
Jerry Andrews: At Mass Destruction, Gem, Eira and hopefully Whitey Ford try to stop the Black Hand once and for all! Those two teams will annihilate each other inside of a steel cage of Complete Destruction! That's all the time we have tonight. We'll see you at Mass Destruction!
