[A Ghost in the Wind]

PCW Trauma: 290
GAME ON
Thursday, November 24, 2022
Simulcast Live on E! & TBS from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina

Show Introduction
Details: A montage of highlights of PCW’s past plays over the entirety of Trauma’s former theme song, “Chop Suey” by System Of A Down. When the montage ends, the show begins with a massive fireworks display as the music switches to, “Survival of the Sickest” by Saliva. Panning around the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina the camera picks up a voluminous amount of fan signs; Signs such as ones for 2Guys, Non Compos Mentis, Whitey Ford, Pegasus, The Prophet, Sadistic, Nacho Grande, Eira, Justin Michaels, Ace Anderson, Lantlas, Nathan Saniti, Grimm, and even one for, “The Grand High Exalted One” Usali Basilisk.

After the camera finishes panning around the arena the audio for “Survival of the Sickest” lowers and the camera focuses on tonight’s PCW commentary team of Jerry Andrews, Ace Anderson, and Al Laiman.

Jerry Andrews: Tonight is a special night for Pure Class Wrestling as the first leg of a two-event reunion tour will begin when long-time PCW rivals and former PCW Champions LoKi and Non Compos Mentis square-off in our opening match.

Ace Anderson: And in our main event of the night we’ll see the brothers Grimm & Sadistic and their partner “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght, all members of The Black Hand and former World Champions in their own right, battle the more than formidable team of former PCW Tag Team Champions Nathan Saniti & Dollface” Kelli Starr and their PCW Hall of Fame partner, former PCW World Champion Lantlas!

Al Laiman: All that plus Eira, Nacho Grande, Gem and others are scheduled to compete tonight! It’s been over a year since PCW has been on your television sets and we hope not to disappoint! We have just one more show, the PCW Pay-Per-View event GAME OVER scheduled for early 2023 and after that- who knows when we’ll be back.

Jerry Andrews: History is definitely in the making tonight as we go commercial free! So grab yourself some turkey and celebrate your Thanksgiving with us as PCW Trauma begins now!

Ace Anderson: Game on.


Match One: Singles Match
LoKi vs. Non Compos Mentis
Referee: Charles Lim
Match Details: This match never really gets off the ground. Non Compos Mentis enters first, to mostly boos. Then LoKi, to mostly cheers. The two battle for a few minutes, no one really getting the upper hand until the action spills out of the ring. Referee Charles Lim has no choice but to make the ten-count and the match ends in a double count-out.
Winner(s): No Contest due to Double Count-Out

After the match...
Details: ...Non Compos Mentis and LoKi continue their assault on one another, spilling further into the audience. Now NCM gets the upper hand through most of this exchange, dragging LoKi up some stairs and then tossing him down it. LoKi scurries away behind a staging curtain but NCM is fast on his trail.

When NCM goes to pick LoKi up, LoKi retaliates by raking the eyes and gets back to his feet on his own. The two continue going at it some more, fighting over a body laying on the ground. The camera quickly switches from the brawl to the body sprawled out and we can see that it is the body of MONROE.

Match Two: Tag Team Match
Eira w/Murdoc & MONROE vs. Tyler Scott & Rick Majors
Referee: Manny Cruz
Match Details: The camera stays affixed on MONROE’s body until feet come into frame and walk over him. As the camera pans up we see the feet belong to Eira and Murdoc as they begin walking towards the ring from the backstage area, giving us a clear indication that MONROE being laid out were down by their actions, but with enough possibility that they have deniability to the assault. The camera stays transfixed upon them, following them through the curtain and onto the staging area as they are being announced to the crowd.

Once introduced Eira grabs a microphone and informs the viewers, “…It appears MONROE isn’t going to be available for tonight’s match but Murdoc happens to be itching for a fight and he’ll be more than a welcome replacement for my…partner..”

Shortly after, Rick Majors gets introduced but when he comes out he has a microphone and reports that his partner is missing tonight and suggests instead of a tag team match, that Eira and he go one on one. Eira agrees and the tag match is cancelled.
Winner(s): Not Available Due to Cancellation

Match Two: Singles Match
Eira w/Murdoc vs. Rick Majors
Referees: Manny Cruz
Match Details: Murdoc stands at ringside, watching the action between Rick Majors and Eira. This match goes for about twenty-three minutes with lots of near-falls, and to his credit, Murdoc never intervenes once. However, it is Rick Majors who surprises Eira after she misses her Fall of the Morning Star double stomp from the ropes and he sneaks in a quick roll-up for the win.

Eira cannot believe what happened and Murdoc has to nearly hold her back from going after both Majors and referee Manny Cruz, as the outcome was not one she foreseen before the match began.
Winner(s): Rick Majors d. Eira via pinfall

Murphy’s Marshall’s Law
Details: Following the match the camera picks back up with LoKi and NCM, who are now fighting in the main concourse of the P.C. Arena. LoKi takes a hot dog from an innocent bystander and proceeds to slap Non Compos Mentis right in the kisser with it. NCM rages and then proceeds to give LoKi a swirly in popcorn from a concession stand; LoKi follows-up by delivering an ice cream cone to the eyeball of NCM.

The camera then switches back to the arena as, “Back in Black” by AC/DC begins and the crowd roars to their feet. Looking meaner, cleaner, un-leaner, older, balder, badder, fatter, the former PCW figurehead Skylar Marshall steps through the entrance curtain to a chorus of boos.

Doing his signature cocky walk to the ring, Skylar walks up the ring steps and then steps through the ropes and signals for the microphone from tonight’s ring announcer, Michael Malone (not to be confused with his father, the agent Miguel Malone).

After about forty-five seconds so that the song could finish Skylar thanks the crowd for being there tonight. He tells of his history with the company and how grateful he is for being allowed the opportunity to be the Company’s spokesperson for tonight and Game Over. As the fans boo, Marshall tries to shoo them and build their trust by rattling off his PCW accomplishments.

…It’s at that moment that the opening guitar riffs of, “Walk Hard’ by Dewey Cox begins and the crowd goes banana for a former PCW President’s, and a current PCW Talent Scout’s, theme song.

After just about over ten seconds into, “Walk Hard” former PCW President “The Captain” Alejandro Walker steps from behind the entrance curtain and along ringside he high-fives and hugs a few members of the PCW Faithful in the crowd. Rolling into the ring Alejandro motions for the microphone from Skylar. Skylar hands Alejandro the microphone but then motions for a spare one from the ringside area.

Interviewer Sasha Greene, who’s assisting the commentary team, hands Skylar an extra microphone and at this time it should be mentioned that Michael Malone has left ringside altogether. Alejandro’s music cuts and he too welcomes the crowd to the P.C. Arena. “The Captain” explains that Skylar isn’t the only spokesperson for this reunion tour and announces he’s there to keep Skylar neutral and unbiased. Then Walker asks if Nacho Grande could come to the ring.

NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OHHH OHHH OHHH OH OH!
OHHH OHHH OHHH OH OH!
OHHH OHHH OHHH OH OH!

Nacho comes to the ring as, “Hangin’ Tough” by New Kids on the Block plays. Once in the ring, Skylar Marshall says we might as well get Gem out here too. “Little Tyrants” by Anberlin plays and Gem comes out to the ring. Once in the ring, Skylar signals for the music to end and then informs everyone that there were a few wrestlers contracted tonight that hadn’t made it to the P.C. Arena for various reasons and unfortunately, Skylar and Alejandro are here to inform Gem and Nacho that they will both be awarded forfeit victories. They considered booking the two against each other tonight, but decided to hold off that match until a later date if they’d be interested.

Walker then asks referee Joseph Buckland to award the matches to the competitors in the ring.

Match Three: Singles Match
David Hunter vs. Nacho Grande
Referee: Joseph Buckland
Match Details: Referee Joseph Buckland does as told and administers a standard ten-count, signalling the end of the match, and awarding a victory to Nacho Grande.
Winner(s): Nacho Grande via Forfeit

Match Four: Triple Threat Match
Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith vs. Gem vs. Corey Steele
Referee: Joseph Buckland
Match Details: Similarly, after a standard administrative ten-count, Joseph Buckland awards the match to Gem.
Winner(s): Gem d. Tyrone Smith & Corey Steele via Forfeit

Hold on Just a Second, Brah
Details: Without much warning, “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO plays and from out back steps “The Broski” Buck Brochamp with a microphone of his own, and after a few moments basking in his own awesomeness, the music stops and Buck speaks.

Brochamp says that it is a joke how this time was wasted on that decision and that crowd deserves to see some action so he’s coming out to give the people what they want. He begins walking down the ring and declares he wants a match with someone in that ring right now. Once in the ring he looks down at Gem and Nacho both before sharply turning his attention to referee Joseph Buckland and says it’s Buckland that he’ll be challenging.

Buckland protests just a bit, but in the confusion Skylar seems to be ok with the request and says it’s fine and he has just the right person to be the referee for a contest such as this- Jonathan “Pegasus” Norby!

Match Five: Singles Match
“Bucky” Joe vs. Buck Brochamp
Referee: Jonathan “Pegasus” Norby
Match Details: As Pegasus makes a slow jog to the ring, both Gem and Nacho Grande both give each other a look and then both dropkick Brochamp. It staggers the big man down to a knee and then both Nacho and Gem superkick him in the face and Brochamp goes down hard.

It's at this time that Pegasus slides into the ring. Sensing this as an opportunity, “Bucky” Joe tells Pegasus to ring the bell and immediately pins “The Bad Brah of Bad Decisions” Buck Brochamp. Three slaps to the mat later, and “Bucky” Joe picks up his second win ever in PCW history and the first win he has had on Trauma!
Winner(s): “Bucky” Joe via pinfall

Pain in my Ass/Triggering Destiny
Details: Sasha Greene announces Bucky as the winner as Pegasus raises his hand. Gem and Nacho both exit the ring but as they are leaving to the back, Non Compos Mentis and LoKi are once again fighting, this time down the entrance ramp. Alejandro calls for security and Dave Brandt and his P.C. Arena Security team come out to break the two up.

The two break free a few times to continue battling and that’s when Skylar says he has seen enough. He informs both LoKi and Non Compos Mentis that they will be removed and escorted out of the building and if they want to fight so bad, then at Game Over the two could square off in a match…but not just any match, a Pain of Glass Match.

The announcement gets a large roar from the crowd and then the feed switches to another area backstage where we see Justin “Stormm” Michaels enjoying some catering with his family. From outside of frame walks in “The Anarchist” Jason Willard, alongside his wife Destiny and Kristen Willard. Willard “accidentally” bumps “Stormm” and then goads him with some backhanded remarks and asks if Justin still feels the itch to compete. Justin ignores the chiding until Lindsay takes offense to something Willard says and basically tells Willard that Justin is more man than Willard will ever grow up to be.

This upsets Destiny and she throws a plate of food at Lindsay, covering her in a Thanksgiving meal. This starts another pull apart brawl where PCW agents flood the area and pulls the two apart before the feed switches yet again.

Scott-free
Details: The feed switches to an argument being had by Tyler Scott and Rick Majors. Tyler angrily questions Rick as to where he was. Rick asks Tyler the same question, bringing up their tag team match Tyler didn’t show up for. Tyler says someone locked him into a dressing room and he only got out recently and went right into wondering where Rick was. Rick says he was out wrestling Eira and had nothing to do with it. And actually, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with Tyler either. The two don’t come to blows but this friendship, or lack thereof, is no more.

Match Six: 6-Person Tag Team Match
Grimm, Sadistic, & “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght vs. Kelli “Dollface” Starr, Nathan Saniti, & Lantlas
Referee: Ed Lane
Match Details: Cutting back to the ring, we get the introductions for the next match. Grimm, Sadistic, and Showtime make a unified entrance first. Out next is Nathan Saniti, followed by Dollface, and then by Lantlas.

Great back and forth action in this one with both teams taking control at various points. Swift tags, cohesiveness throughout.

Until there wasn’t.

And it occurred on the Black Hand side.

At one point, roughly seventeen or so odd minutes in, while the members of The Black Hand had the upper hand, Showtime forced his way into the match by tagging in from Sadistic who wasn’t trying to make a tag and while Sadistic was in-control of Saniti. This caused Sadistic to tag himself back in IMMEDIATELY which caused Showtime to push him, causing Sadistic to fall out of the ring. That gave an opening to Saniti who was able to tag in Lantlas.

Lantlas waited until Sadistic rolled back inside the ring, but then Sadistic tagged in Grimm, who went into battle with his former rival. While Grimm and Lantlas were fighting, Sadistic and Showtime continued to argue at ringside. This allowed Saniti and Dollface to sneak around ringside and pull both men off the apron and start fighting with them. The distraction caused Grimm to lose focus at that point, which caused Lantlas to toss him out the ring too; Lantlas following in the process.

Eventually, referee Ed Lane were able to get things under control, getting everyone that’s suppose to be in the ring, in the ring, and the others back to their corner. The match continued on without hitch until roughly another five or so minutes later, while Dollface was going up against Grimm.

This time, it was Sadistic who inadvertently struck his brother Grimm with a hard left hook intended for Dollface. It completely took Grimm by surprise and allowed Dollface to nail Grimm with a Candygram spinning backfist. Lantlas and Saniti prevented Showtime and Sadistic from getting into the ring and Kelli Starr picks up a surprising win for her team at roughly the 27:09 mark.
Winner(s): Kelli Starr, Nathan Saniti, & Lantlas via pinfall when Dollface pins Showtime

The Black Hand Erupts
Details: Following the loss, Grimm goes to confront Sadistic and Michael tries to get in-between the brothers but they just push him down to the mat; Before Grimm or Sadistic could lay a hand on one another however, Showtime is back up and takes both of them down with a dropkick. The two get back up to their feet and arena security comes pouring in to create distance between the men as the show goes off air.

Publisher’s Note: Thanks to all those who participated in this first event. A few of the no-shows are troubling, but deadlines haven’t been a thing for a long while nor will it, so I hope we can get it together and get full participation for the next one. I’ll apologize for the match lengths as well. I had more planned but timing didn’t work out for me.

Also, apologies in advance if characterizations of your character were misrepresented. Cards on the table, I did not receive much in the way of segments, strats, messages, or even updated bios so I did the best that I could with memory and the information that I had available. If there are any issues, let me know and hopefully they can be corrected for GAME OVER. Hope you enjoyed either way!
