Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
Show Introduction
Details: The feed opens up with a blank screen. As everyone is wondering what is going on, a slow-spinning globe suddenly fades onto the screen. A loud, booming voice is then heard:
...The time has come....
...for the leader in sports and entertainment...
...to step up...
...and regain their superiority...
...Welcome to...[/i][/color]
The globe that had been slowly spinning on your television set soon begins to pick up with intense speed. The speed begins to violently shake the globe until…
...BOOM!...
The globe shatters, sending hundreds of pieces everywhere.
...PURE...
...CLASS...
...WRESTLING!!!
With that said and done, we are greeted with an inside of the raucous Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. The camera focuses the middle of the entrance stage, as Saliva is there ready to perform. All of a sudden…

…Saliva begins to play, “Survival of the Sickest” and the fans are on their feet cheering. As the band plays Trauma’s theme song, the PCW-Tron springs to life and shows the new and improved opening video sequence. During the video sequence, we continue getting cut-ins of Saliva playing. When the song ends, Saliva gets a standing ovation, and we fade into a commercial break.
Starting Fresh
Details: Returning from commercial break, we are greeted by the sounds of, “The Way I Am” by Eminem, which means PCW Interim President Skylar Marshall is about to make his entrance. About ten seconds into the song, Skylar Marshall makes his way from behind the entrance curtain. The fans in attendance give a good mix of boos and cheers, as Skylar makes his way down the entrance ramp.
Mark Long, standing inside the ring, introduces Skylar and then gives him the microphone. Skylar gives a signal for his music to be cut off, and once it is, he addresses the crowd. Skylar welcomes everyone back to the PCW, and informs them that, due to his creative and marketing genius, the Pure Class Arena is sold-out. The fans let out mixed reactions of jeers and cheers, but it didn’t seem as if Skylar was looking for their approval.
Skylar puts over the card and tells the crowd he has some thinking to do concerning other PCW matters and that he’ll announce those a bit later on in the evening.
Along with the card hype, Skylar talked about Grimm, saying that Grimm better be prepared for he has, “a long night ahead of him.” He puts Grimm over as a ruthless beast, but then tried taking a shot by saying, “…even though he’s Champ, he’s missing something. You know what I think it is; his inability to bring in revenue and ratings. It was under Grimm’s reign that business plummeted. It was under Grimm’s reign that PCW had to undergo a temporary hiatus. I don’t blame anyone other than Grimm for the downtime we had to endure. And I want all you fans to think about this…before you go out and cheer the man later tonight, because I am sure you will, just remember this- he’s one of the primary reasons as to why you all were without PCW on your TV sets for over a month. And if I had my way, Grimm will pay by losing his PCW World Championship tonight.”
With that, Skylar dropped the microphone and his music started up. As he was leaving the ring, the scene faded into a commercial.
Loco Returns
Details: (When the feed comes back from commercial, we are greeted with Miguel Malone standing in the backstage area preparing to speak.)
Miguel Malone: Ladies and gentlemen please give a warm ovation for former two-time co-holder of the PCW World Tag Team Championships, Loco, as he makes his return to the promotion.
(Loco walks into the view wearing his black robe, black background face paint, and black boots, with his hair is slicked back. He grabs the microphone out of Miguel’s hand and begins to speak.)
Loco: Miguel, Miguel....que paso amigo? Damn man, you look almost good enough to stay in my shot....almost.
(Loco reaches out towards the camera, and adjust it himself so that only he is in the frame.)
Loco: Here we are at Trauma, Da Loczter is back, live and in color and waiting, just waiting, to get into action a little later on in the night. And to think, he comes back, the PCW comes back, and he gets a chance to become PCW World Champion all in one night. The blood is pumping through my body, the hair on the back of my neck is standing straight up, for I am stoked to be here again.
(Miguel reaches out in an attempt to pull the microphone back, but Loco puts a stop to it and readjust the camera to feature Miguel in the shot.)
Loco: What…*pauses*…is it Miguel? Do you not see Da Loczter trying to get the ratings started off right? My Locquitos are out there wanting to hear what I have to say.
Miguel Malone (after being handed another microphone): Well Loco, I can see you’re pumped but…*pauses*…actually, this is the happiest I’ve seen you be in a long time.
Loco: Only my wife gets to see my happy face on a consistent basis.
Miguel Malone: Changing gears for a moment, we were talking awhile ago, and you seem mighty confident in yourself tonight. Care to tell us why?
Loco: How could I NOT be confident? I mean, I get to wrestle for the chance to become PCW World Champion, I get to come back to PCW, which I consider Loco's new old home, and give back to what this company and fans have given to me all these years.
Miguel Malone: Your demeanor brings me to my next comment- you sure do seem to have had a change in attitude since we’ve last seen you. Rumor has it that the change of attitude is a result of you trying to be a better role-model for your daughter, but I think it just may be because you’ve sold-out to the fans to make a bit more money for yourself.
Loco: Miguel, I know your “The Icemann's” family and all, but don't think I won't take you down a Pegasus or two....ahaha, just kidding Peggy, I still have love for ya. But to answer your question vato, the only thing that Loco is doing is making his life right for the first time since I was a little nino understand?
Miguel Malone: Only thing I understood was you avoiding the question. Since you didn’t answer that question, I have another one for you. On your quest back to PCW glory, which to be honest, I think you’re more glorified in your own mind than you are in reality, you’ve got a Fatal Four-Way Match later on tonight, with the winner getting the last spot in the Gauntlet For The Gold Match. So my question to you is this, old man, what do you think your chances are of walking out of here tonight victorious? I mean, I’m sure you know you’re not as great of a wrestler now as you were in what you considered a prime.
Loco: You know Miguel, before I answer your question, did someone poke a hole in your fun doll? You seem to have alot of tension built up in you. But if I may continue, I think that I have a great chance to walk out of that Fatal Four-Way Match a winner and qualify to be in the gauntlet match. After all, no I am not a spring chicken, but I do have my experience and ring awareness to help me out and I know that I can give any and everyone a run for their money. We have Geno...sounds like a bad kissing disease or is that guano? Either or, doesn't matter your fate has been sealed since you were placed in my match. James Keenan, you have had your success in the tag team ranks here in PCW....but so have I, TWICE so it's time to see who's going to take that next step and make a run at the singles World Championship and sorry for you, I will be the one that takes off like a Jason Willard's child support premiums. I mean goddamn, he's banging any and everything. Oh well, congrats bro. Now we get to Quinn Maters, you know who I am, I know who you are. You get in my way and then you'll be flat on your back.
Miguel Malone: Now you’re drifting from confidence to cockiness. And I for one don’t have a problem with that. And as the going starts to get good, I have to tell you that we’re going to have to cut this short, for this is only a two-hour show and we have tons of action to come. Maybe we could finish this up another time. Take it away, Jerry and Mike!
(With looking staring a hole in Miguel for cutting him off, we here the voice of Jerry Andrews and Michael “The Man” Williams and then the feed flickers to an in-ring shot of Mark Long, who is prepared to introduce the first match of the night.)
Match One: Singles Match
“Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth vs. Michael Reaper
Referee: Roberto Garcia
Match Details: Both the participants in this in this match were making their PCW debuts. Jacob Roth, the second generation superstar, is a young man, still green to the big leagues. Michael Reaper is an even younger man, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that by appearance alone- the guy is huge!
Michael was the first introduced, and after he made his entrance, the feed cut to a commercial break. As the feed returned from commercial break, “Heavy Metal” Jacob Roth had just made his way down the aisle, and was climbing into the ring. He scaled the turnbuckle and then played a bit of air guitar before back-flipping off. The two competitors demeanors told different stories- Reaper had a look of pure intensity, whereas, Heavy Metal, now staring at the big man, had a bit of a look as to say, “What have I gotten myself into?”
Following the bell, Michael tried to go on the offensive first, trying to grapple Roth, but Roth used his speed to duck out of a few attempts. When Reaper finally got a hold of Jacob, it was with a goozle. Jacob kicked at Reaper’s arm until Michael broke the hold. Jacob went and bounced across the ropes, but when he came back and attempted a cross-body block, he was speared in mid-air.
Though the blow seemed to have did damage, Jacob was able to quickly roll out of the ring for a quick breather. With his back towards the ring, Jacob could not have known Michael had gotten back onto his feet. Michael then bounced across the far ropes, and as he came back, he launched himself right through the middle rope.
However, and you can call this a sixth sense, being well-prepared, or just some kind of miracle, Jacob moved out of the way right in the knick-of-time, and Michael went crashing into the guardrail. Jacob, sensing that it was the right time to dish out some damage of his own, quickly went and started pounding on Michael, all-the-while Referee Roberto Garcia making the mandatory ten-count.
When the count reached eight, Jacob rolled into the ring, but then back out- effectively breaking and restarting the ten-count. Commentators Jerry Andrews and Michael Williams were quick to point out that it was in bad strategy to have left the ring when he could have possibly won the match due to count-out.
Jacob went to grab Michael, but it was Michael who had been able to get his hands on Roth, and he pulled him face first into the guardrail. The referee’s count was at six at this point, so Michael grabbed Heavy Metal and tossed him into the ring.
Back in the ring, Reaper, sensing the end was near, scaled the top-rope and unbelievably leaped off with a Swanton Bomb, which Jerry was quick to note it was dubbed the, Reaper Bomb, but at the very last moment, Jacob rolled out of the way and Michael crashed to the mat hard.
It was now Heavy Metal’s turn to scale the top-rope, and in a stunning display of aerial ability, Jacob connected with his Air Guitar finisher, which is an amazing somersault guillotine legdrop. Jacob quickly seized the opportunity and pinned Michael. Three mat pounds later, Heavy Metal was declared the winner, celebrating hard by playing a bit of air guitar, defeating Michael Reaper at the five minute and forty-seven second mark.
Winner
The Gauntlet Is Coming
Details: The PCW-Tron came on to hype the Gauntlet For The Gold Match via video package. The package showed action in previous Gauntlet For The Gold Matches, as well as showcasing the possible talent involved in the contest. The words, “Coming Up!” appear on the screen, until the feed switches over to Mark Long in the ring preparing to introduce the next match.
Match Two: Singles Match
Lantlas vs. “The Conformist Killer” Bob Diehard
Referee: Travis Wilson
Match Details: The second match of the night saw the return of a PCW Legend, as PCW Hall of Famer Lantlas returned to square off against Bob Diehard. Bob Diehard had been in the PCW, but his stay during that time is marred in controversy. He’ll love to start afresh, but he had a daunting task ahead of him in Lantlas.
Bob Diehard entered the ring first, receiving nothing but jeers for his trouble. It’s interesting to note that Jerry Andrews questioned whether the boos were for Bob Diehard, or just for any opponent of Lantlas. Once Bob Diehard had made his entrance, he stood in the ring, awaiting the challenge ahead of him.
He didn’t have to wait long, as Lantlas music struck up. The fans welcomed back the former PCW World Champion with a thunderous ovation. Lantlas seemed surprised at the ovation, but made his way to the ring anyway. Once in the ring, the feed cut to a commercial break.
When we returned from commercial break with the match already in progress, and Bob Diehard was pounding away at Lantlas in the far left corner of the ring. He stopped the pounding, but didn’t let up on his assault, as Bob stuck his boot right on Lantlas throat. The fans begin to boo Diehard heavily, which only made him more ruthless in his choking of Lantlas.
Referee Travis Wilson got into it, and told Diehard to release the hold. It took Bobby the full five-count before he released it. Bob picked up Lantlas and brought him to the center of the ring. He whipped Lantlas into the ropes, and when Lantlas came flying back, he scooped him up and delivered a disastrous spinebuster. Diehard quickly went for the pin, but Lantlas was able to kick-out at two.
Unnerved, the self-proclaimed, “Conformist Killer,” went back to work and locked Lantlas in a half-crab. However, that was only temporary, for Lantlas was able to power out of the move, pushing out of it with his legs. The force of Lantlas breaking out of the move caused Diehard to go threw the middle ropes and he landed on the outside hard. Lantlas quickly went and climbed the top-rope, where he waited perched until Bob Diehard returned to his feet.
With Diehard standing, Lantlas jumped off the top-rope and landed an awesome missile dropkick. The fans let out a loud applause in appreciation of Lantlas connecting, but the move took a toll on both men, and they were out on the outside for almost the entire ten-count T-Dub had to make. Lantlas was up to his feet first, and made it in the ring at the count of eight. Diehard was right behind though, and he made it in the ring at nine.
Both competitors were slow getting onto their feet, but both got up at the same time. Lantlas grabbed Diehard from behind and attempted to deliver a German Suplex, but as he lifted Diehard in the air, The Conformist Killer flipped out of it and as he was coming down, landed a dropkick to the back of Lantlas. Diehard began stomping on the back of Lantlas. He pulled Lantlas back onto his feet, but Lantlas elbowed Diehard in the sternum. Lantlas then whipped Diehard into the corner, but as he came rushing in, Diehard used the ropes to lift himself up and he kicked Lantlas right in the face.
With Lantlas stunned for a moment, Diehard came charging out of the corner. Unfortunately for him, Lantlas was ready, and he delivered an explosive Exploder Powerslam. He held on as they hit the mat and covered The Conformist Killer. Referee Travis Wilson went down and made the count. Lantlas was able to get the three-count, but a nanosecond later, Bob lifted his shoulder. However, it was too late, for the bell had been sounded and Referee Travis Wilson was awarding the match to Lantlas.
Lantlas rolled out the ring, and raised his arm in shock and celebration, and headed back up the entrance ramp, securing the victory at the nine minute and eleven second mark.
Winner
Bullying and The Save
Details: As Lantlas was making his way up the ramp, inside the ring stood Bob Diehard who angrily argued that he kicked-out. When T-Dub tried to explain that Diehard’s shoulder got up a nanosecond too late, Diehard got ever more upset, grabbing the official by his shirt and shaking him. Jerry Andrews and Mike Williams, at ringside, could be heard saying that Diehard will receive some sort of fines for grabbing the official the way he did. Diehard grabbed Travis and put him underneath his arm. He yelled out to the crowd that T-Dub was going to get The Conformist Killshot.
Meanwhile, not making it all the way up the ramp was Lantlas. As he was walking up the aisle, he noticed on the PCW-Tron what was happening. Refusing to allow this to happen, Lantlas rushed down the ramp and slid into the ring. He grabbed Diehard, but before any physical action could partake, Diehard quickly released Travis and slid out of the ring.
With the image of Lantlas helping Travis onto his feet, and the look of disgust and detest on Diehard’s face, we are faded into a commercial.
But Was He Right?
Details:Following the commercial break, a replay of the finish of the Lantlas-Bob Diehard match was shown, and it showed Bob Diehard did in-fact get his shoulder up before Referee Travis Wilson counted the three. Following the replay, we are brought to another commercial.
Match Three: Match Tag Team Match
2Guys (Tag Team Champions) vs. Jarrod Walls & Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith
Referee: Eddie Lane
Match Details: Surprisingly, we return from commercial break with Jarrod Walls and Crazy Boy in the ring with their hands being raised by Referee Eddie Lane, 2Guys on the outside of the ring looking distressed, and Skylar Marshall at the top of the entrance ramp.
Skylar has a microphone in his hand and he addresses the crowd. This is what he had to say:
Skylar Marshall: For those of you who are rejoining us after that commercial break, you may be wondering what in the hell is going on. If you don’t mind, focus your attention on the PCW-Tron now.
(The PCW-Tron springs to life, and in the bottom left-hand corner the words, “During the Break” are seen. An image flashes onto the now animate PCW-Tron and what we see is Jarrod and Tyrone standing in the ring, with 2Guys entering the ring. The bell is rung when Tyrone and Menace go out on their respective sides of the apron.
Jarrod and Jackle meet up in the middle of the ring, but it’s a boot to the gut by Jarrod to Jackle, followed by a Pedigree he calls the, “Walls Clash.” Jarrod immediately pins Jackle, with Tyrone rushing into the ring to cut-off Menace, who was trying to make the save. Three counts later, and a total match length of twelve seconds, Jarrod and Tyrone defeat 2Guys, and move on with Lantlas and Jacob Roth in the Gauntlet For The Gold Match. And with that, the PCW-Tron abruptly shuts off.)
Skylar Marshall: You see that? That match ended quicker than your commercial lasted. I want to congratulate Jarrod and Tyrone for getting the job done in such a timely fashion, and they’re excused.
(Jarrod and Tyrone exit the ring, and disappear through another route to the back.)
Skylar Marshall: I’ll tell you this though, there are two people who aren’t going to be getting a congratulations from me, and those two people are the PCW Tag Team Champions, 2Guys. Excuse me, let me rephrase that- those two people WERE your PCW World Tag Team Champions, 2Guys. That’s right…I am stripping them of their tag team titles. If two guys who have never teamed together in their life could defeat those 2Guys who are tag team champions, then those 2Guys don’t deserve the titles. Matter-of-fact, not only am I stripping 2Guys of those championships, I’m suspending them as well! There’s no point in having a Tag Team Division when there’s no competition for them. So Menace, Jackle, if you mind, bring those championship belts up here to me…NOW!
(Menace and Jackle walk up the entrance ramp and stop when they meet Skylar. The former tag team champions look at one another but then gladly hands over the belts.)
Skylar Marshall: You both are excused.
(Menace and Jackle walk pass Skylar and into the back.)
Skylar Marshall: I’ll reinstate these bad boys once we actually have some people with class to represent them. Well, that and we actually have a bonafide division to compete for these. And be on the look out, you may hear from me again tonight. Enjoy.
(And with that, Skylar heads to the back and we cut to a vignette hyping the PCW Clash for the Championship Trauma special, by highlighting some of the things that went on already, and some of the things to come.)
Winner
Match Four: Singles Match
Jade (Genesis & North American Championship) vs. “The Tragic Princess” Destiny Willard
Referee: Tyrone Little
Match Details: Destiny Willard was making her return to the PCW in this match. However, it’s in a much different capacity than what we grew accustomed to seeing her in, as this marks her first match within the PCW ranks. We are use to seeing her with her husband Jason Willard, but this time, she’s on her own. And it was looking to be a tough challenge, for she had to compete against Jade, who is currently holding two PCW championships, giving her a place in the record books as the first female to do so.
Destiny made her entrance first, garnering a chorus of boos as she did. This could be because of her past in the PCW, or it could be due to her husband Jason Willard. Either way, she was unfazed as she made her way into the ring. Once Destiny was in the ring, the PCW dual-champion Jade her way out to the ring. The fans pooped big for her, showing everyone who they would be rooting for in the match. When both ladies were in the ring, the bell was sounded and they began the match.
Destiny immediately went on the offensive. She showcased her ruthlessness by attacking Jade with kicks to the gut, hair-pulling, nails to the skin, and biting at the forehead. This was only tolerated for so long before Senior Official Tyrone Little began to warn her. Destiny answered Tyrone’s threats of disqualification by sneering at him, but she did begin to alter her game-plan.
Around the four minute mark, with Destiny clearly in-control, she whipped Jade into the ropes, but it was Jade who came off with an offensive maneuver when she came back with a flying clothesline. This surprised Destiny and she rolled out of the ring. Jade stayed put inside the ring, taunting and inviting The Tragic Princess into the ring.
That perhaps wasn’t the smartest strategy, for when Destiny got back into the ring, she began to level the PCW North American and Genesis Champion with back-to-back dropkicks, followed by a hurricarana. With the hurricarana though, she held through and pinned Jade. Three mat pounds later, and Destiny shockingly defeated Jade cleanly at the six minute and fourteen second mark.
Winner
