Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
In the Beginning
Details: Trauma opens up with the usual pyrotechnics and the playing of System of a Down's, "Chop Suey." The cameras pan around the arena, highlighting numerous fans and their signs. But instead of going straight to our first match...
Who's in the limo?
Details: ...The PCW-Tron comes on and it shows a limo pulling up in the parking lot area of the P.C. Arena here in Greenville, South Carolina. The chauffeur gets out and opens the door for his passenger, but before we can see who it is, the camera pans down, only focusing on the shoes of the man exiting the limo. The person walks towards the door to enter the arena, and then the feed cuts to Michael "The Man" Williams and Jerry Andrews at the commentators' table, where they wonder out loud who was exiting the limo. After a bit of speculation, they tell everyone that they'll be taking a quick commercial break and when they return, the match between Andreas Lasiewicz and The Byrd will begin.
Match One: Icemann Invitational Tournament Round of Sixteen
"The Gambit" Andreas Lasiewicz vs. The Byrd
Referee: Roberto Garcia
Match Details: This first round match-up of the Icemann Invitational II, is ready to get underway. The Byrd and Andreas Lasiewicz square off in the ring, both men waiting to make a move. Byrd makes the first one, by connecting with a nice belly to belly suplex on The Gambit. Byrd picks up his opponent, and hits another belly to belly suplex.
This seems like a different Byrd, as he is all fire. He yells out to the crowd after the second belly to belly, and then turns his attention back to Lasiewicz. Byrd attempts to lock in a sharpshooter, however, Lasie kicks him away. The Gambit is up, and that was the end of Byrd’s offense, for the remainder of the night.
Lasie went to work on his first round opponent, hitting him with a slue of German suplexes followed by a devastating top rope elbow drop. Lasie goes for the pinfall, but The Byrd kicks out at two. Lasie, visibly frustrated, locks Byrd in a dragon clutch, however, Byrd refuses to tap. Lasie holds it in for at least a minute, yet still, Byrd will not tap. He is showing excellent resilience. Lasie gives up on the dragon clutch, and releases the move.
He gives the Byrd a few stomps to his neck and shoulder area, and then The Gambit locks Byrd in a crossface, with Byrd’s arm draped over his own neck. This is a move The Gambit calls the ‘Krakow City Stretch.’ After all of the damage done to the neck and shoulders of Byrd, he has no choice but to tap out to this painful move after about thirty seconds in it, and only about five minutes into the match-up.
Winner
Match Two: Battle Royal
Pegasus vs. Havik vs. Jade vs. Johnny Vivacious vs. Brad Moore vs. "Mr. Showtime" Mikey Wryght vs. Ashley Marie
Referee: Tim Jones
Match Details: The rules of the match were very simple. The match would start when all seven of the competitors were in the ring, and the only way to be eliminated from the match was if both feet touched the floor. Once everyone had entered the ring and ready to go, the bell sounded. With so many enemies and no allies, no one wanted to turn their back on each other.
It is Mikey Wryght that made the first move though, as he lunged forward and clotheslined Pegasus the second Pegasus took his eyes off of him. It was at that moment that everyone went at it. Havik and Brad Moore started to go toe to toe as Johnny Vivacious just smiled as he slowly backed Ashley Marie into the corner with a headlock.
Mikey Wryght focused on the downed Pegasus, but was sent over the ropes by an unnoticed Jade as she crept up and sent him over the top. The second eliminated was Ashley Marie who just couldn't seem to mount any offense against Johnny Vivacious and was sent to the floor at ringside.
Havik was the next to be eliminated as Brad Moore managed to send him out of the ring. The final four consisted of Brad Moore, Johnny Vivacious, Pegasus, and Jade. It happened in a split second, but Johnny Vivacious lunged forward and delivered a quick right to Brad Moore that sent him stumbling against the ropes. A clothesline was all Johnny Vivacious needed to send Brad to the floor.
Pegasus snuck up behind Johnny Vivacious and tried to shove him through the ropes, but Johnny Vivacious held on. Pegasus didn't see it though and turned to face Jade only to be grabbed in a sleeper hold from Johnny who still stood dangerously on the ring apron. An elbow shot forced Johnny to drop the hold and grab the ropes for support as Pegasus dropped to the mat and rolled a few feet away and stopped on his hands and knees.
Jade, who had been sitting back recovering, ran forward and, using Pegasus' back as a launching pad, leaped off into a crazy dropkick that connected with Johnny Vivacious and sent him back into the barricade at ringside. Both Jade and Pegasus were on their feet, and Pegasus went for a clothesline that Jade easily ducked. He turned only to be hit with a superkick that sent him through the ropes and to the floor.
Winner
Special Treat for NCM
Details: Unexpectedly, "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr" by Trivium plays, and a James Keenan video package plays on the PCW-Tron. The fans boo as James Keenan, who is one half of the PCW Tag Team Champions with his Icon partner Kaden Keene, comes out from the back, carrying his PCW Tag Team Title on his shoulder. When he gets into the ring, the music dies out, he's handed a microphone, and then he begins to speak.
He tells everyone that he has a special treat for NCM tonight, and he tells NCM that if he, "wants a hint, all [he] has to do is look to the past." With that, Trivium plays again and James Keenan, after coming out to make his point, heads back to the back. The feed cuts to the commentators' table where Michael "The Man" Williams and Jerry Andrews start speculating what Keenan could have in store for NCM.
After a few moments of that, the feed fades to a commercial. Once we return from the commercial, we see Justin Michaels and Proof in the ring, preparing for their first round match up in The Icemann Invitational Tournament.
Match Three: Icemann Invitational Tournament Round of Sixteen
Justin "Stormm" Michaels vs. "The Phenomenal" Proof
Referee: Eddie Lane
Match Details: The two men stare one another down before Proof decides to break the tension and hits Justin "Stormm" with a wild haymaker. Seeing his opponent go down to the mat, Proof turns in an attempt to showboat to the crowd. With the Proof's back turned, Michaels is immediately back to is feet and Proof is on the ground thanks to Michael's signiture move, the Hangcloud DDT.
Stormm capatalizes on his opponents inability to fight back and raises the proof up, attempting to him up for the Force of Nature, but as he tries to raise the Proof into position, the young man from San Antonio counters and slams Michaels to the mat with a depseration DDT.
With both men down, referee Eddie Lane begins the count, but only making it to three, before Stormm is back on his feet and dragging Proof to his. Deciding not to go for the Force of Nature right away, Justin Michaels proceeds to man handle the proof, hitting him with everything lefts and rights. With Proof reeling from the punishment, Michaels ups the ante and hits Proof with three snap suplexes, one right after the other.
Stormm Irish-whips Proof across the ring, catching him with a kick to the stomach as he comes back around. Micheals signals for the Force of Nature, hooks it, hits it, and goes for the pinfall. Eddie Lane slides to the mat and counts 1...2...3.
Winner
Match Four: Icemann Invitational Tournament Round of Sixteen
Non Compos Mentis vs. James Keenan
Referee: Steve Shaw
Match Details: Fans buzzed with wonder of what surprise James had for Non Compos Mentis, and so far, James hasn't delivered on his promise. Maybe it was just James's way of trying to get inside the head of NCM before the match was to begin. Whatever the case may be, nothing has happened as of yet. But will it?
James Keenan is the first to make his way out to ringside, as the ever present boos follow him, even after he enters the ring. James, half of the current PCW Tag Team Champions, smirks as he waits in the ring for his opponent, Non Compos Mentis, who is one of the men he defeated for the tag belts, but is also the current North American Champion. NCM's music plays and he emerges from the backstage area and onto the entrance ramp. NCM is one of the favorites to win the Icemann Invitational, and James knows this. James knows that NCM feels that after losing to LoKi in last year's tournament, he is going to go into this thing with nothing but motivation.
NCM walks down the entrance ramp, with the fans booing him just as they were jeering Keenan. NCM climbs up the ring steps and then enters via the middle and top ropes. He walks right up to James and raises his North American Championship in the air. James returns the gesture by raising his half of the Tag Titles, which, as mentioned earlier, is the title he defeated James for. Referee Steve Shaw signals for the bell and the match is officially underway.
NCM, whose face becomes twisted in a fit of rage as he sees James Keenan holding his former championship, begins walking right into James. Smartly, James backs down. He puts his arms out as he backpedals towards the ropes, as if he was saying, "Whoa. Hold your horses, big fella."
James reaches for a microphone and he is handed one by ring announcer Mark Long. James smiles and speaks. He tells NCM that he's a man of his word and that he really does have a special treat for NCM. He points to the PCW-Tron, and it sparks up. NCM cautiously looks towards the screen. On the screen, it shows the same shoes we seen earlier in the broadcast exiting from the limo and entering the P.C. Arena.
Whoever is in the shoes is walking around the backstage area, straight towards the stage. Non Compos Mentis stares in confusion, and James just snickers at the look on NCM's face. When the man makes it to the entrance curtain, he stops. James speaks up and says, "NCM...remember around this time last year? You remember how you faired in the tournament? Well, I have a surprise for you. Ladies and gentlemen of Pure Class Wrestling, let's welcome the man that defeated Non Compos Mentis in The Icemann Invitational Tournament last year...former PCW North American and International Champion...LoKi!"
"Wait and Bleed" by Slipknot plays and LoKi emerges from behind the curtain. NCM drops his jaw in shock. As LoKi begins walking down the entrance ramp, NCM's shock turns into anger. In between staring at LoKi walking down the entrance ramp, he begins yelling at Referee Steve Shaw. When LoKi makes it almost to the bottom of the ramp, NCM prepares himself. This is all the opportunity that James needs. James grabs NCM, turns him around, and nails him with the Closing Song. He quickly hooks the leg, and Referee Steve Shaw begins the three count. 1...2...3! NCM just kicks out, but it's a millisecond too late. Mark Long announces James Keenan as the winner and James quickly rolls out of the ring.
Non Compos Mentis begins flipping out in the ring, pounding the mat in frustration and disappointment. James smiles as he gets his hand raised by LoKi. For the second year in a row, NCM has been eliminated from the tournament, and for the second year in a row, it's all LoKi's fault. James will be squaring off in the Elite 8 against the winner of the Kaden Keene-Nina Arcania main event match later on tonight.
Winner
Reigns Change With The Tides
Details: [The PCW-Tron flickers to life. A lone figure, silhouetted against the moon, stands on the edge of a sheer cliff with its arms folded against its chest. The sound of waves crashing is heard faintly in the background while gusts of wind stir the figure’s wild hair. No other identifying marks are visible, but once the figure speaks it is obvious who he is, and anyone with any sense about them immediately experiences a shiver running up their collective spines.]
“I may not be in the building tonight, but don’t you dare think you’re getting off that easily. The events of the past several weeks have been prime examples of how this Abomination is capable of rendering desolate all who have the misfortunate of facing me. Former champions, up-and-coming superstars, two men at once…all have stepped into the ring, and all have had their dreams of glory aborted. I’ve become the creak in your darkened hallways and the bogeyman under your beds.”
“But now…now it is nearly time for the crescendo. The word Grimm has become synonymous with fear in not only the PCW but every arena throughout the southeast. There is but one thing left that needs attending to. One notch that remains to be carved in the bloody shillelagh I’ve used to bludgeon a path through the federation…one stalk that has yet to be Harvested.”
“That would be you, Lantlas. You did what no one else, myself included, was able to do. You took down the mighty Ace Anderson and became the PCW champion. You’ve managed to unite the top two titles in the federation and retain against countless challengers. And now we are scheduled to face each other for that very belt. You defeated me once, but even you have to recognize that I am not the Phinehas Grimm of old. Champions come and go, reigns change with the tides…and as such, there will soon be someone new standing atop the PCW heap. It is inevitable."
[The figure of Phinehas Grimm remains unmoving as the PCW-Tron fades out. Everyone’s attention returns to the regularly scheduled programming.]
Match Five: Handicap Match
Lantlas vs. 2Guys
Referee: Travis Wilson
Match Details: This match really doesn’t have much in it for Lantlas, except if he loses, that’s a lot of humiliation to deal with. This match has a few things in it for 2Guys, some good, some bad. They are facing possible death here, as they are up against an angered Elven Warrior. However, if they can manage to pick up a pinfall or submission victory over Lantlas, that could give them the momentum they need to possibly win the entire Icemann Invitational, and get another shot at Lantlas, this time for the World Title!
Bob and Pierre are at ringside, calling the action of this match, as the camera turns to them.
Bob: We’re here doing commentary for PCW once again, Pierre.
Pierre: Excellent observation, Bob. Tonight, the Elven Warrior faces off against 2Guys.
Bob: Excellent observation yourself, Pierre. However, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to see that he’s facing two guys.
Pierre: That’s their team name.
Bob: I hate you, Pierre.
The action turns back to the ring, where 2Guys are deciding which of them will face off against The Elven Warrior. They decide on Jackle. Jackle walks to the middle of the ring, and looks across at an angry Lantlas. They start the match off in a tie-up, to which Lantlas easily throws the ‘power’ man of 2Guys backwards. He gets up and runs at Lantlas, attempting something foolish, and gets picked up for his troubles. Lantlas picks up Jackle, and delivers a deadly emerald fusion!
Bob: That sure would hurt the kidneys!
Pierre: What are you even talking about, kidneys?
Bob: Did I stutter?
Back in the ring, Lantlas is on top of things, controlling Jackle with relative ease. After a muscle buster, Lantlas goes for the pin, however, as the referee gets down to make the count, out of the corner of his eye, Lantlas notices Johnny Vivacious sliding into the ring, holding a chair. Lantlas rolls away from Jackle, and out of the ring, leaving Jackle on the mat.
Johnny V crashes the chair down on top of Jackle, and Menace, out of sheer moronic ideals, runs into the ring to save his partner. Johnny V baseball swings the chair, knocking Menace out cold. He leaves 2Guys laid out on the mat, Lantlas behind the curtain now, knowing the match was a lost cause after Vivacious came in. Vivacious’s message has been sent to his second round opponents, who will definitely have a headache in the morning. Not that there is a brain there for the headache to affect.
Winner
Match Six: Icemann Invitational Tournament Round of Sixteen
Seth Sinn vs. Sean Hunter
Referee: Tyrone Little
Match Details: Hunter and Sinn wasted no time with formalities, charging in and tying up before the bell even rang. The two men tested each others strength, shoving one another back and forth all over the ring until it appeared that Seth had the upper hand, shoving Hunter into a corner. But Sean quickly responded to this with a vicioud punch to the temple followed up by a quick face buster followed up by an even quicker pin attempt. Sinn kicks out without even a one count and quickly gets to his feet driving Sean back into the corner while trading blows with him.
Hunter manages to push Seth off of him but Sinn uses the momentum to bounce of the ropes on the other side of the ring and deliver a wicked clothesline to Sean. Hunter is sent to the canvas as Seth Sinn tries to take advantage of his opponents prone form. This proves to be a mistake as Sean trips up his opponent and rolls him up with a small package, getting a two count this time before Seth is able to kick out.
Both men are quick to their feet as they tie up again. Sean ducks out of the tie up and chops Seth Sinn's feet out from under him, tying him up in a figure four leg lock in the process. Seth struggles against the hold, trying desperatly to get to the ropes, but to no avail. His shoulder go down and the referee begins the count, 1..and Sinn raises his shoulder back off the mat. With all the strength he can muster Sinn starts throwing his body to the left in an attempt to revers Hunter's hold.
The two struggle back and forth with this before Seth is able to out muscle his opponent and flip over on his stomach. With the pressure reversed Sean quickly grabs the ropes, not wanting any part of the figure four. Seth refuses to break the hold as the referee begins to count to five.
1...2...3...4..and Sinn releases the hold and the two men find their bases again, albeit much slower this time. The two circle back up and trade suplexes, driving the air out of each other. Seth pulls Sean Hunter to his base and whips him across the ring, catching him on the rebound with the Super Kick that he calls Heaven's Grace. Sean hits the matt amd Sinn covers.
Referee Tyrone Little is slow getting to the count and Hunter barely manages to get the shoulder up at the two and a half count. Retreating to the opposite corner to set up a spear, Sinn charges at Hunter who see's it coming manages to slip out of the way causing Sinn to drive his shoulder into the turnbuckle. Figuring one good turn deserves another, Hunter now retreats from his opponent waiting for him to find his base.
As Sinn gets up slowly, now favoring his shoulder, Hunter leaps from behind and catches his opponent with a Shattered Dream. The move damages Hunter almost as much as it did Sinn, as Sean rolls over and limply drapes one arm across the chest of Seth Sinn. Tryone Little slides to the mat and begins the count, 1...2..and Sinn raises a shoulder. Both men are down now and Little initiates the ten count, reaching seven before two get back to their feet.
Barely able to stand, the two begin to trade chops to the chest with Hunter gaining the upper hand. Landing blow after blow, Sean then wraps Sinn up in a T-Bone suplex and throws him clear over his head. Quicker to cover this time, Sean seeks an unfair advantage and uses the ropes for added leverage. Tyrone Little prepares to make the three count, but just as he's about to bring his hand down to make the third count, he notices Sean's feet on the ropes.
Sean is forced to break the pin and he begins arguing with the referee. This gives Seth a change to get up to his feet. Sean turns around Seth attempts a Heaven's Grace! Sean dodges it and Referee Tyrone Little gets hit with the superkick right in his face. Seth doesn't stop to check on Ty though, and he recovers to nail another Heaven's Grace, this time he connects with his intended target. But with no referee available to make the count, Seth decides to go and make sure that when the ref gets up to his feet, Sean will still be down.
Seth grabs Hunter and brings him onto his feet. He kicks the groggy Hunter in the gut, and then sticks him between his legs. He then lifts Hunter and puts him in an elevated powerbomb. He just nailed Sean with the Sinn's Nature! But at this very moment, Non Compos Mentis, fresh off his loss to James Keenan, runs down the aisle with his PCW North American Championship. He slides into the ring, and when Seth gets back up to his feet, he nails Seth in the back of the head with the title. You can hear him screaming, "HHW isn't going to make it further than me!" He grabs Hunter's arm and places it over the prone body of Seth. He then tries to wake Tyrone Little up. Tyrone, seeing the pin attempt, crawls over and makes the slow three count. Three very slow slaps of the mat, and Sean Hunter advances to the tournament, with an assist by Non Compos Mentis.
With Seth and Sean still down, NCM grabs his North American Championship in the air and continues to scream that HHW will not progress further than him.
Winner
Match Seven: Icemann Invitational Tournament Round of Sixteen
Nina Arcania vs. Kaden Keene
Referee: Richard Stevens
Match Details: When we return from commercial break, both Kaden and Nina are in the ring. Both stare each other down as they walk around the ring. Both came into the ring looking for a win to catapult them further into the second ever Icemann Invitational. Kaden charged in first, but Nina easily dodged away from him. He smiled as he looked her over, sizing her up once again. She returned the smile, and then stepped in and jumped into a spinning heel kick.
Kaden walked right into it and was knocked flat, but he wasn't down for long. He was right back up and trying to get some offense going. Nina stopped his attempts at first though, and started to rock him with lefts and rights. She turned to run across the ring, but Kaden reached out and grabs her hair and yanks her to the ground.
The ref is quick to scold him, but as Kaden tries to explain it was an accident, the damage was obvious to be seen. Instead of the quick moving Nina that had been one step ahead of Kaden during the match, she was now just making it to one knee. Kaden lightly pushed the ref out of the way so he could pick her up to a standing position. A snap suplex was followed by just a two count, and Kaden complained with the ref about it not being three.
As he talked and made his way to one knee, Nina nearly leaped direcly from her knees and brought a leg out to connect with the back of Kaden's head. She started to pick him up, but he layed into her stomache with a left, followed by another. Soon he was on his feet again, and the two were toe to toe again. Another blow from Kaden, but it didn't phase Nina as she attempted one of her own. Kaden ducked it and used her hair to pull her back and put in a head lock.
Richard Stevens was quick to tell him off again. As the two argued, Nina still in the headlock, she threw an elbow which loosened the hold, and as she pulled free from his grasp, her leg flew backwards and connected in a low blow on Kaden. Both fell to the mat, but Nina was the first to stand. She approached the still struggling Kaden and hooked in a suplex, but Kaden held his ground and used his strength over her to keep her from executing the move. Instead, he pulled her up into a suplex of his own, and then dropped her with The Limelight. He covered for the three count and advances in the tournament. Kaden gets his arm raised in triumph and the feed fades out.
