PCW Trauma: 109
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
Live on E! from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina

Introduction
Details:To start of the aftermath of Mass Destruction II we’re treated to a video of PCW’s biggest show of the year. The video shows in graphic detail the gory domination of new International Champion Grimm over Sadistic in the Cage of Death. Moving on we see the rapturous crowd saluting new North American Champion Andy D having overcome three other men. After this is the epic Iron Man contest between Loco and Willard, resulting in Loco winning but both legends bowing out of the limelight. Alan Christopher dumps the German Giant Machine over the top to come out victorious. Special Referee Johnny Vivacious is shown throwing out the number one contendership match between Sean Rhodes and Justin Michaels followed by Nacho Grande and Justin Kaard settling their differences with a handshake. The final enduring shot is that of Lantlas, holding the PCW World Title high in the air at the end of the evening.

The Pure Class Arena comes to life with an astonishing show of red, blue, and white pyros. The regular intro video package plays on the PCW-tron and the fans are in fine voice already, ready and waiting for the fallout of the PPV. Many of them carry signs proclaiming such wise comments as “Make up your mind, Johnny!”, “Billy’s Hiding Under My Bed”’ and “Pointy Ears Rules Again!”. "Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva continues to play as the cameras turn to ringside and the commentators, Jerry Andrews and Al Laiman.

Jerry Andrews: Two weeks removed from Mass Destruction and it’s fair to say we have not seen the end of the action. Tonight sees returns, debuts and, oh yes, it’s THAT time of year again.

Al Laiman: That’s right, it’s Icemann Invitational Tournament Time!

Jerry Andrews: We have qualifying and first round matches tonight, but also we’ll see our new World Champion teaming with the man he defeated, Loki, to face Andy D and Tyrone Smith.

Al Laiman: There a couple of very tense teams in that one. Also we’ll see Phinehas Grimm taking on Justin Michaels. And in our main event, a rivalry years in the making, Johnny Vivacious returns to active competition against Sean Rhodes.

Jerry Andrews: But we’re starting off with this…

That Time Of Year…
Details: A video package kicks off with the previous winners of the great and prestigious Icemann Invitational Tournament; Justin ‘Stormm’ Michaels, Ace Anderson and Mike Park. The list is one of great champions and legends within PCW… and now another name will be added to that list because it’s time for the Tournament to begin again.

The names of all the entrants flash across the screen, emblazoned in gold; Nacho Grande, Areas, High Tide, Usali Basilisk, Tyrone Smith, Andy D, Johnny Vivacious, Alan Christopher, Kaijin Shinryu and Loki. One of these names will win $25,000 and a year-long period to challenge for any PCW Championship Belt of their choosing.

Who will it be? Let’s find out!

MATCH ONE
Icemann Invitational: Singles Match
Nacho Grande (Tag Team ©) vs. Areas
Referee: Steve Shaw

Match Details: “Hangin’ Tough” begins to play and the lyrics bring the fans into a chorus of cheers and indeed some sing along. The crowd seems so engrossed that they don’t seem to mind the wait… until Nacho Grande and his entourage of cheap and delicious sidekicks make their way onto the stage. The cheers increase even more as PCW’s resident Luchadore bounces down the ramp waving to the fans. Finally he reaches the ring and climbs inside, ready for his opponent in the first round of the Icemann Invitational Tournament.

Jerry Andrews: Nacho looks ready after his win over Justin Kaard at Mass Destruction.

Al Laiman: He’s riding a wave of momentum coming into this match and you have to consider him a very early favourite for the tournament.

“Run this Town" by Jay Z plays as purple smoke begins to go off on the entrance stage. The fans begin to cheer as Areas walks to the ring and he makes it to the entrance stage before stopping. Areas puts his hands on his hips and looks over at the crowd, he then puts his hand in the formation of a gun and pretends to load it and shoot it at his opponent before making his way to the apron. The crowd chants for the returning former North American Champion as he climbs into the ring and awaits the bell.

Jerry Andrews: What about Areas, Al? Where do you see his chances in this tournament?

Al Laiman: Areas is one of a few wildcards in the eight man line up. He’s a former North American Champion, so we know he has ability, but he’s also been away from the ring a long time. That could count for or against him, I guess we’ll find out which very quickly.

Referee Steve Shaw makes sure that both men are ready for the match and calls for the bell. Areas steps out of his corner hesitantly and tries to size up Nacho who is uncharacteristically slow to act also. It’s clear neither man wants to act hastily and knock themselves out of such an important competition by doing something stupid.

Al Laiman: One slip and you can say bye bye to your golden opportunity at any title of your choosing.

The two men circle until they meet in the middle of the ring and lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. Both men push hard but Areas, with his metal arm and superior strength, gains the advantage and pushes Nacho toward the corner. With Nacho cornered, Areas begins to lay into him with clubbing blows from his metallic arm. Referee Shaw tells Areas to back off and starts his count, which Areas quickly adheres to… only to receive a push to the chest from Nacho and a huge, stiff dropkick to the jaw.

Jerry Andrews: Wow, Nacho really isn’t playing around here.

Al Laiman: We’ve seen signs in recent weeks that he wants to pursue a shot at the World Champion, here’s his chance and he’s really fired up for it.

Areas climbs back to his feet and is met by a forearm to the face from a determined Nacho, followed by a second and a third. Eventually Areas ends up on the ropes and Nacho whips him across the ring only to be reversed and sent into the ropes himself. On the rebound Arias goes for a shoulder block but Nacho has the momentum to knock him to the mat, immediately turning and hitting the adjacent ropes. As Nacho goes to the ropes, Areas slides under him and then jumps back to his feet ready to meet the Lucha Hero on. Returning off the ropes, Nacho is lifted off his feet and is prepared to eat a big slice of hip toss… only to land on his feet and nail a lucha-libre style arm drag that throws Areas across the ring.

Jerry Andrews: Both men are really looking impressive out there, but Nacho appears to have the early edge.

Getting to his feet in the corner, Areas seeks a moment of rest but is caught by Nacho who rushes toward him, leaps and performs an inch perfect Monkey Flip. Nacho scrambles across the mat for an early pin attempt.

One…
Tw…NO!

Areas kick out and Nacho goes back to work right away, pulling him to a vertical base. Suddenly, however, Areas hits out with a chrome-tinged slug to the gut. With the grip of the fast-food luchador loosened, Areas hits the ropes and goes for a big metal Lariat that Nacho evades before hitting another armdrag. Both men jump to their feet and Areas charges, only to be caught with another armdrag. Again ‘The Shaman of Vertias’ gets back to his feet and goes on the offensive but receives the full trifecta of armdrags. Staring back across the ring he sees Nacho Grande raise his arm triumphantly and hears the crowd chant emphatically “NACHOOOOOOO!”.

Al Laiman: Nacho really has to be careful, taunting Areas like this may not be a great idea.

Indeed Areas springs back to his feet with a renewed fire in his eyes and the two men meet in the middle of the ring with another tie up. This time Areas transitions through into a rear waist lock and looks to hit a snap German Suplex. He gets Nacho off his feet but not far enough as Nacho throws a wild elbow to escape. Ducking under the elbow Areas ends up in what looks the wrong end of a front headlock but he uses all his strength to throw Nacho over head into a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex.

One…
Two…
NO!

Nacho just gets his shoulder up and Areas drives on with the temptation of a huge Title Shot in his mind. The returning superstar pulls Nacho to his feet and sets up for a Fisherman’s Brainbuster, lifting Nacho into the air… but loses control as Nacho rolls over Areas’ shoulder. Landing like a taco-fed feline Nacho hits the ropes but runs straight into a lightning fast Superkick to the jaw. Areas goes for another pin quickly.

One…
Two…
THR…NO!

Nacho manages to kick out at the last moment, keeping his dream of winning the Icemann Invitational alive.

Al Laiman: Nacho needs to do something to change the momentum of this match, and fast!

Areas has a look of frustrations written over his face and gets up with an intention of putting Nacho out for the count. Pulling Nacho up, the ‘Truthseeker’ sets up for what looks like a Backslide Pin but adds an immense amount of power to the move, turning it into a Backslide Driver. At the very last second, Nacho tucks his head in and rolls through the move back to his feet. With Areas still on all fours on the mat, Nacho hits the ropes and springs off the middle with a spectacular Springboard Moonsault across the back of his opponent.

Al Laiman: Quebrada! That's a Lionsault to the less sophisticated wrestling announcers amongst us.

Jerry Andrews: Hey!

Al Laiman: I’m naming no names, Andrews. Don’t incriminate yourself.

Instead of pinning, Nacho rolls Areas onto his back and hits the ropes and performs a forward roll before leaping into the air, rotating and nailing a brutal and winding Rolling Thunder Senton. Hooking the leg Nacho goes for the win right there.

One…
Two…
TH…NO!

Nacho asks Referee Steve Shaw if it was really two and gets the same count back. With even the most light hearted of PCW’s locker room looking frustrated by his attempts, Nacho begins to scout Areas as he recovers. Slowly the former North American Champion gets to his feet but is still groggy, allowing Nacho the chance to go for broke. The masked marvel runs at the turnbuckle and climbs as if running up a ladder. Once he reaches the top, Nacho sets himself and throws his body backwards with a massive Flying Twisting Crossbody but…

Jerry Andrews: Areas moves!

Al Laiman: My god! Nacho crashes and burns in a heap in the middle of the ring! That’s got to end the match right there.

Areas takes a moment to realise what happened but hurriedly dives into an Oklahoma Roll pinning predicament on the motionless Nacho.

One…
Two…
THREE!

Jerry Andrews: NO!

Al Laiman: How the hell did he kick out?!

Areas gets back to his feet and signals for the end. Grabbing the head of his opponent, Areas pulls Nacho to his knees… but Nacho springs into life and hoists Areas onto his shoulders. Caught completely by surprise, Areas is powerless to fight back as he is spun around at incredible adrenaline-fuelled speed by Nacho.

Jerry Andrews: Airplane Spin! Nacho’s going for the Eat Late Even Great!

The damage to Nacho appears to still be effecting him though as he begins to sway and stumble around the ring. Eventually he loses his grip and the unsteady Areas falls to his feet behind, both men now staggering around like intoxicated hobos. Nacho tries to turn around and capitalise on the dizziness both of them are enduring but watches as Areas fires a Spinning Backfist toward his head.

Jerry Andrews: It’s over!

Al Laiman: No it’s not!

Nacho ducks at the last moment and takes advantage of Areas’ extra spin adding to his dizziness by planting him with the devastating Fingerpoke Of Doom!

One…
Two…
THREE!

Mark Long: Your winner by pinfall, advancing to the Semi Finals of the Iceman Invitational Tournament… NACHOOOO GRANDE!

Jerry Andrews: Well there you have it, the first man to move into the Semi Finals is Nacho Grande!

Al Laiman: Welcome back, Areas!

Winner: Nacho Grande via Pinfall

Segment
Details: “Hangin’ Tough” hits again and Nacho lifts his dazed head high into the air in the knowledge he’ll move into the next round of the tournament. Referee Steve Shaw hands Nacho his Tag Team Title belt before exiting the ring. The crowd begin to chant Nacho’s name until a figure walks out onto the stage. At first few people notice the person until Nacho’s eyes drift up the ramp. There, at the top, he sees Justin Kaard who applauds his partners’ efforts in the last match.

Jerry Andrews: Justin Kaard wasn’t booked to appear tonight but apparently he’s here to support his partner.

Kaard walks to the ring as Nacho continues to celebrate his victory with the adoring fans. As he makes his way to the ring, Kaard picks up a microphone and climbs onto the apron before climbing through the ropes. Greeting him with a friendly happy embrace Nacho continues to revel until his music ceases and a more serious, almost upset look moves over the face of Kaard. Slowly Nacho realises this and waits for Kaard to speak.

Justin Kaard: Congratulations Nacho, I’m glad you’re one step closer to getting the shot at the World Title that you deserve. But that’s not why I’m out here….

Mumbles and whispers can be heard amongst the crowd as they ask eachother what his real reason is. Increasingly looking more upset, Justin lifts the microphone to his mouth again and talks.

Justin Kaard: Two weeks ago at Mass Destruction you beat me, fair and square. No interference or underhanded tactics, you beat me and there wasn’t a doubt who the better competitor was. That match proved something that I’ve worried about for a long time… I am no Heavy Metal.

A rising chorus of “KAARD! KAARD! KAARD!” starts amongst the fans and he is clearly taken aback by the praise of the crowd. The mere mention of Jacob Roth brings back wonderful memories but Kaard is humbled by being chanted over one of PCW’s most loved superstars. He waits patiently for the crowd to lower in volume before he goes on.

Justin Kaard: That match proved that I’m simply not ready to compete in the big time here in PCW. I’m not ready to be a wrestler here, never mind a Tag Team Champion.

Again the crowd chant Kaard’s name but now Nacho begins to take in exactly what Kaard is saying. His shoulders sag and his head drops, but Kaard tries to talk over the rising noise of the crowd.

Justin Kaard: I’m sorry Nacho, I really am, but I just came from Captain Walker’s office. I had no choice but to offer my resignation from Pure Class Wrestling.

Everyone in the arena descends into shock at the last comment, disbelieving that the Adrenaline King has tendered his resignation from the company. Nacho himself is wide-eyed and looking as though he’s trying to wake up from a bad dream. He tries to take a step forward to talk to Kaard but the youngster raises a hand to tell Nacho to wait until he’s finished.

Justin Kaard: Captain Walker informed me that if I resigned from PCW the Tag Team Championships would be forfeited. Not just mine, but both of them. I’m really sorry, Nacho, but I don’t deserve this title and you deserve to go after the Icemann Invitational without a lead weight like me dragging you down.

The shock in the crowd continues as Nacho looks down at his Tag Title Belt, then back at Kaard. This time he does take a step forward but Justin backs off toward the ropes.

Justin Kaard: I’ll be back when I’m ready for the spotlight, but now I have to go. I’m sorry Nacho, I’m really sorry.

Before Nacho can stop him, Kaard exits the ring. Trying desperately not to look back he walks up the ramp with Nacho still trying to process everything that Kaard said. As Kaard disappeared behind the curtain, Trauma fades to a commercial break with a look of sadness written all over Nacho in the ring.

MATCH TWO
Icemann Invitational QUALIFYING Singles Match
Usali Basilisk vs. High Tide
Referee: Roberto Garcia

Details: Both men are standing in the ring across from each other, both with something to prove in this qualifying match. As soon as Roberto Garcia motions for the bell to be rung, the two men locked up in the middle. Usali gets the upper hand, throwing High Tide to the mat. The pirate is up quickly however, and bounces off the far ropes. He goes for a flying clothesline, but Usali ducks, leaving the pirate to crash into the mat.

Usali is quick to use this to his advantage. Waiting until High Tide gets up, he lands a wicked standing dropkick! He goes for a quick cover, and gets a one and a half count. He pulls Tide to his feet, but the pirate gives him a undetected thumb to the eye! He takes advantage by going for The Pirate Code! He get's a two and a half before Usali manages to kick out!

Tide asks the referee for a three but is rejected. Turning to Usali he waits for him to get to his feet and lands a salvo of elbows followed by a hard snap suplex. Instead of pinning, Tide nails a quick leg drop and looks to apply a Crossface. Usali struggles free and gets to his feet but is met with a knee to the gut (or a little lower) that stunts his progress. Tide quickly hits a perfect Hurricanrana that leaves both men down.

High Tide has the momentum going now, and as the two men stand up, they trade blows. High Tide ducks one and punches Usali in the gut. He plants him hard on the mat with a DDT! He quickly climbs the turnbuckle. Usali is getting up now, and Tide launches off the turnbuckle and hits Off The Plank! He quickly covers Usali. 1...2....3!

High Tide goes wild with celebration! Yet the bell has not gone. He turns back to Roberto Garcia who is pointing at Usali. His foot is on the rope, and this has nullified the three count! High Tide is livid with rage! He yells at him to declare him the winner, but he has no such luck. Figuring it a lost cause, he turns around to finish Usali off...

Only to find Usali waiting for him! Usali headbutts Tide with his mask and lands The Ascension Bomb! He quickly goes for the cover. 1...2...3..no! Tide manages to kick out but barely. However Usali is too smart to go arguing to the referee and so he locks in The Gift! High Tide struggles to reach the ropes, even landing a few short elbows on his opponent. However they are in the center of the ring. High Tide has no choice but to tap out. Roberto Garcia motions for the bell to be rung.

Mark Long: The winner… USALI BASILISK!

Usali's eyes, however, are glowing red now and he does not release the hold. Tide seems to be unconscious and the referee yells for Usali to release the hold, but to no avail and has no choice but to ring the bell again. Still there is no release and the referee is forced to call for PCW Security as well as Mark Long. He yells something through the ropes and Long lifts the mic to his mouth.

Mark Long: The Referee has informed me that due to disqualification the result has been reversed. Your NEW winner is… HIGH TIDE!

The boos in the arena drown out the noise of Big Dave Brandt and his security team hitting the ring and finally dragging Usali Basilisk off of Tide. Usali slides out of the ring, his eyes slowly returning to normal. EMT’s rush out from the back to attend to High Tide as the show goes to a commercial.

Winner: High Tide via Disqualification

MATCH THREE
Non-Title Tag Team Match
Lantlas (World ©) & LoKi vs. Andy D (N.A. ©) & Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith
Referee: AJ Bennett

Match Details: An interesting contest, this one. In an ingenious piece of booking, the World Champion has been teamed with the former World Champion to take on the North American Champion and the former North American Champion. Andy D, the NA Champion, is out first as "Hypest Hype" plays over the speakers. The fans give the young champion a rousing ovation as he makes his way to the ring, bucket hat and all. Crazy Boy is out next to the tune of "10000 Watts of Artificial Pleasure" by Dope Stars Inc. He receives a mixed reaction from the fans; many are still sore at him over his questionable tactics of late. Lacuna Coil starts up and out walks the former World Champion, LoKi. The Fallen Angel takes a good booing as he walks down the ramp, but he seems almost devoid of any and all emotion; his mind is clearly elsewhere. A little Hans Zimmer cues the entrance of the new world Champion, Lantlas. The Elven Warrior makes his way down the aisle looking like a king that's reclaimed his throne as the PCW Faithful cheer him on.

Once in the ring, the teams of rivals are surprisingly cordial toward one another...although Tyrone can't keep his eyes off the North American Championship belt. Andy D and Lantlas start things off for their respective teams as AJ Bennett calls for the bell. Andy and Anduril lock up and the larger, stronger Elven Warrior slaps on a headlock. Lantlas employs a methodical pace against his younger, quicker foe. Nothing flashy; Lantlas has a size and strength advantage and he knows it. Andy slips out of the hold a couple times, but the elf is quick to regain the headlock. Even Andy D's slick go behind counters are re-countered by the blue-haired champion. Lantlas drags Andy to his team's corner and tags in LoKi. The pace quickens.

LoKi, much smaller than his partner, changes the pace of the match with his vicious and to-the-point offense. Stiff strikes and high-impact slams are served up my a mourning Fallen Angel. Several two-counts are scored by LoKi including a nail-biting nearfall after a brutal Conviction Buster! Catching a break, an extremely fatigued Andy D is able to tag in Tyrone Smith to a surprisingly loud ovation from the Faithful! Crazy Boy is a house of fire serving up an array of rights and lefts to the cranium of LoKi. LoKi attempts to fight back but Smith will have none of it. With a possessed, almost crazed look in his eyes, Crazy Boy hammers away on the former World Champion. Tyrone's blond hair is all over the place as he whips LoKi from pillar to post, even connect with a Crazy Drop from the top rope that results in a close two-count. Crazy Boy whips the Fallen Angel into the ropes, but the veteran LoKi sneakily makes the blind tag to Lantlas. Smith catches him with a Crazy Airlines on the rebound...and then walks right into a big boot from a legal Lantlas Anduril!

Lantlas presses the advantage against a stunned Crazy Boy and proceeds to wear him down. With Tyrone grounded, his offense is no longer crazy, but stifled. The blue-haired warrior saps the energy from the Crazy One before stomping away on him. A standing double stomp. A double stomp from the second turnbuckle. Heck, he even waits for Crazy Boy to stand before double stomping him directly in the chest! The elf covers but only gets two. The Written Word is smoothly followed up by the Elven Marksmanship and Crazy Boy finds himself trapped in the center of the ring! The Faithful immediately come to their feet as Smith struggles to escape. Crazy Boy tries to edge himself towards the ropes, but Lantlas holds firm. He tries to muscle out, but it's no use. One last spurt and Tyrone begins to fade. AJ Bennett has no choice but to call for the...BLAMMM!

Andy D hits home with a diving elbow from the top rope! The fans erupt as Andy D backpedals to his corner while yelling encouragement to his partner. The elbow has shaken Lantlas up and he crawls over to his corner to tag in LoKi. SLAP! LoKi makes the tag and he climbs into the ring. Crazy Boy, still a bit disoriented, army crawls in the direction of Andy D and reaches out a hand. Andy D reaches...! But LoKi latches onto Tyrone's ankle. Their fingertips nearly touch...and Crazy Boy lunges and makes the tag! The place erupts at Andy D hops over the top rope and catches LoKi with a sidekick along the way. Andy's caught his second wind and he's having his way with the Fallen Angel! LoKi is whipped into the ropes and the Dee catches him with a hurricanranna into a pinned predicament. 1...2...kickout! A springboard missile dropkick! 1...2...kickout! LoKi is dazed and Andy plants him with his patented running STO! 1...2...3! NO! LoKi barely gets the shoulder up, but he's running on fumes. Feeling the momentum, Andy D sizes LoKi up for the Dragon's Bite.

LoKi is on his hands and knees when Andy hits the ropes...but collides with Crazy Boy who is still trying to clear the cobwebs on the ring apron. Neither man is hurt, but Andy's momentum has been halted. Andy and Tyrone lock eyes, and that's when LoKi strikes with Ragnarok! Three seconds later, just like that, this one is over! LoKi rolls out of the ring void of any emotion and heads to the back.

Winners: Lantlas and Loki via Pinfall

Segment
Details:Through the curtain, down the halls, into a locker room. Grimm, dressed and ready for a fight, keeps his own council. He sits on a bench, staring at the wall. The wall cannot hold his gaze and looks away. The Lord of Misrule stands and moves to leave but stops in front of an open locker. A piece of masking tape with ‘Sadistic’ written in thick black letters is still stuck to the inside of the door, but otherwise it is bare. It smells of bleach and Lysol spray. Grimm does not wish to imagine the foulness that must have been scrubbed from those unfortunate metal surfaces. He reaches and flicks the door closed.

“Routines are important. A good routine diverts the mind from grisly strategies.”

“Let’s see how grisly we can make this.”

Grimm turns off the light on his way out.

MATCH FOUR
Non-Title Singles Match
Grimm (International ©) vs. Justin "Stormm" Michaels
Referee: Eddie Lane

Match Details: "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin starts up and the boos arrive long before Justin Michaels. Stormm steps out from the back prepared to take on PCW's boogeyman. Holding a rare victory over the Lord of Misrule in their last meeting, Michaels walks down the ramp with a bit of confidence. Justin is still clearly one of the most hated men in Pure Class Wrestling. "Winter Shaker" by Wovenhand hits and the lights dim, signaling the entrance of the living, breathing folk tale. The fans roar their approval for the Crimson Demon, but his only focus is the task at hand: Justin Michaels. Grimm climbs in through the ropes and is immediately ambushed by Justin Michaels!

Eddie Lane calls for the bell, struggling to keep up. Stormm will take any advantage he can get, and he starts with a Pearl Harbor job on the Lord of Misrule. The fans vocalize their displeasure for Stormm's underhanded tactics. Looking to tally a second straight victory over Phinehas Grimm, Michaels' plan is to derail Hangtown freight train before it can even get started. Stormm, the larger of the two, bullies Grimm into the corner and gets after him with a barrage of punches and kicks. Eddie Lane tries to intervene and nearly eats a backhand for his efforts. Michaels has a few choice words referee Lane that thankfully don't make it onto cable television. Michaels turns to resume his assault, but Grimm lashes out a hand and latches onto Justin's face!

The fans are back into it as Grimm, using a handful of face and a handful of hair, rips Stormm around into the corner to dish out a little punishment of his own. Striking with vicious, accurate Muay Thai strikes, Grimm inflicts a combo ending with a knee strike so brutal it launches Michaels over the top rope to the arena floor! Grimm backs off as Eddie Lane begins the ten-count as a replay of the knee strike is shown from a few different angles. Michaels, the veteran that he is, takes a nine-count before cautiously climbing back into the ring. The men circle one another before Stormm steps forward to tie up...and drives a thumb into the eye of Grimm! The fans boo yet again as Michaels takes over with a Russian leg sweep into a pin. 1...kickout! Grimm is out, but Michaels takes a rear chinlock. It doesn't take long for Grimm to make it back to his feet and three elbows to the bread basket break the hold. Grimm takes a step towards the ropes before Michaels rips him to the mat with a handful of hair!

The fans boo and Eddie Lane admonishes Michaels. Michaels brushes the referee off and connects with a leg drop, followed by a cover. 1...kickout! Grimm is back up, and Michaels whips him into the ropes. Grimm ducks a clothesline, bounces off the far side, and runs right into a belly-to-belly suplex! Stormm hooks the leg. 1...2...kickout! Michaels locks on a headlock. Grimm fights back to his feet and fires off a pair of elbows before trying to shove Stormm into the ropes. Thanks to a blatant handful of hair, Michaels is able to pull Grimm back into the standing side headlock. Eddie Lane warns Michaels, but Stormm tells him to piss off. Justin grinds away on the headlock, but Grimm takes him to the edge of the ring. Using the ropes, Grimm attempts to bounce Michaels off to the other side...but again Michaels holds on with a handful of hair and clamps on the headlock again! The fans are growing irate and Eddie Lane issues an angry warning to Mr. Moneybags. As Michaels is telling the zebra what he thinks of him, Grimm hoists him into the air and plants him with a side belly-to-back suplex! The fans go ballistic!

Both men are down, and Eddie Lane starts the mandatory ten-count. By the time five rolls around both men are already back on their feet. Michaels connects with a right hand and Grimm retaliates. Stormm with another right hand, and again Phinehas matches him. Justin goes for a third right hand, but Grimm blocks and connects with a solid headbutt that staggers Stormm. Phinehas sees his opening and unloads with some nasty left hands to the side of Justin's head. Grimm batters Michaels back into the corner before Irish whipping him to the opposite corner...but Stormm, with ANOTHER handful of hair, reverses and sends Grimm hard to the opposite corner! Again, the fans are irate! Building up a head of steam, Michaels crushes Grimm with a huge splash in the corner. The force of the splash sends Michaels recoiling to the center of the ring, and Grimm marches right out after him, his pale blue eyes locked onto Justin's! And the fans roar! Before Stormm can react, Grimm uses two handfuls of hair to hurl Michaels head first into the top turnbuckle! Using a handful of hair to hold his opponent in place, Grimm unleashes machine gun left hands to the face and stomach of Michaels! One final headbutt knocks Michaels silly and Grimm pulls him to the center of the ropes and whips him across the ring.

But Michaels reverses! No! Grimm re-reverses! Michaels hits the ropes on the far side, rebounds back, and gets smashed by Grimm's Lament Configuration! The fans jump to their feet as Grimm makes the cover. 1...2...kickout! Michaels is groggy as Grimm pulls him to his feet. Phinehas lifts him for a vertical suplex, but Michaels slides down his back, locks him in, and drills him with the Hangcloud DDT! The wind is taken out of the crowd as Michaels makes the cover. 1...2...kickout! Grimm is dazed and Michaels looks a bit frustrated.

Stormm pulls Grimm to his feet by his hair and locks on a headlock, but Grimm wiggles free and trips him forward right into the Foddershock! The fans erupt as Grimm rolls Michaels over and hooks the leg. 1...2...3! No! Michaels barely gets the shoulder up!

Grimm is back up, and Michaels pulls himself up with some help from the ring ropes. Grimm moves in for the kill, but Michaels is ready with a rake to the eyes to temporarily blind the Lord of Misrule. More boos. And Michaels uses the opportunity to plant Grimm with the Flash Flood! The crowd goes silent as Michaels makes the cover. Eddie Lane slides into position! 1...2...3!

NO! Grimm shoots the right shoulder up, and Michaels stares in disbelief. The fans are stomping in the stands. Both men are hurting as they make it to their feet. They see each other. They charge! Double clothesline! Both men are down, and again Eddie Lane starts the ten-count. 1...2...3...

That's when Johnny V strolls out from the back with a cocky smirk on his handsome face. Some fans boo the Man in Black, some cheer. 4...5...6...

JV casually strolls down the aisle, his focus on Justin Michaels. Stopping at the edge of the ring, he rests his elbows on the apron and stares at Stormm. 7...8...9...and both men are back up. The fans are cheering. Stormm spots Vivacious...and that's the beginning of the end. Grimm spins the distracted Michaels around and hits the Harvest! 1...2...3! The fans erupts as Grimm wins a hard fought match.

Winner: Grimm via Pinfall

Segment
Details: The triumphant Grimm gets his arm raised by the referee as Johnny V shuffles back up the ramp, satisfied with his work. Handing over the International Title, Eddie Lane promptly leaves Grimm to his celebrations and leaves the ring along with Michaels who can only think of getting revenge on Johnny Vivacious. As ‘Winter Shaker’ hits the crowd cheer but are halted as a figure vaults over the security barrier on the outside.

Jerry Andrews: What the… who is that?!

Al Laiman: That’s… Usali Basilisk!

Basilisk dives under the bottom rope and approaches behind Grimm who is still lingering over his win. He turns around and sees ‘The Grand High Exalted One’ waiting for him, clapping in congratulations for his success. Suspicious of his presence, Grimm remains on edge and holds the International Title close.

Jerry Andrews: What’s Usali doing out here?

Al Laiman: Maybe he’s just congratulating Grimm after a well-deserved win... or not.

Usali suddenly lunges forward and nails a boot to the gut which Grimm isn’t able to block as he holds his title belt. Before Grimm can drop the title and react, Basilisk locks in the Guillotine Choke known as The Gift and the crowd boo with intense anger at this surprise attack.

Jerry Andrews: What the hell is Usali doing?! He’s choking Grimm out!

Al Laiman: I don’t think anyone saw this coming, Basilisk has gone insane!

Grimm tries to fight the choke but soon drops to his knees and Eddie Lane jumps back into the ring having been ordered back. The referee tries to get Usali to break the hold but nobody can reach the fixated Basilisk as Grimm collapses to the mat. Even as Grimm appears to be out cold ‘The Grand High Exalted One’ holds on and drains all remaining life out of his target. Big Dave Brandt and his security team continue their busy night, bursting through the curtain and making a beeline for the ring. Just as the head of PCW Security slides into the ring, Usali finally releases and jumps to the outside, grabbing the PCW International Title as he goes.

Jerry Andrews: Usali turns tails and now we’re left asking what the hell this was about!

Al Laiman: I think Usali’s making that clear right now.

On the outside Usali stares longingly at the International Title, lifting it into the air as if to say it’ll be his very soon. With that image, Trauma fades to a commercial break.

MATCH FIVE
Icemann Invitational: Singles Match
Kaijin Shinryu vs. "Majestic" Alan Christopher
Referee: Joseph Buckland

Match Details: The progressive introduction to “Shitataru Mouru” by Dir En Grey sweeps over the arena. “Puro Power!” Kaijin Shinryu steps out onto the stage, wearing a sleeveless with both PURO POWER and YAGYUU DEATH CAMP logos—former over the latter—on the back. The fans give Shinryu a respectful ovation as Kyo’s voice fills the arena.

Jerry Andrews: Here’s a golden opportunity for the debuting Kaijin Shinryu; he has a chance to earn a shot at any PCW Championship for a whole year.

Al Laiman: But he has to adjust to PCW quickly and win his first three matches in his PCW career to get there. It’s a tough challenge and we’ll see if he can live up to it right now.

Kaijin Shinryu stops midway down the ring, drops to one knee, and prays. With both index fingers, he points up to the ceiling, saying something in Japanese, and finally pounds his chest with his left hand. He gets to his feet and walks up the ring steps, onto the ring apron, and enters the ring. He goes into a corner and waits. The song slowly fades into obscurity as the ring announcer makes his introduction.

Mark Long: In the ring, from Portland, Oregon, by way of Hiroshima, Japan. He stands five feet, nine inches tall, and weighs in at 265 pounds. He is “Puro Power!” KAIIIIIIIJIIIIIIIIIN SHINRYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

The arena is suddenly cast into darkness, the words "You Think You Know Me?!" emanate into the arena as the opening riffs of "Orion- Metallica" erupt over the PA, sending the sold out crowd into a frenzy of groans and jeers. At about the 20 second mark, a single spotlight illuminates the center of the entrance stage, with a wall of smoke coming up over the stage at about the 40 second mark. At about the 45 second mark, a blue laser-light flicker slowly starts up, to which is added to by a golden laser-light flicker, then a red laser-light flicker, before finally, Alan Christopher walks through and stuns the crowd with an "Pose of the Magistrate", standing in front of the smoke wall behind him, the spotlight illuminating his impressive physique ten-fold.

As he stands there, a lime green pyro blast shoots out, in the shape of an “A”, landing right over his head, coming into shape as his arms come to their peak. After showing off his physique to the crowd, Alan continues, posing periodically for the crowd, the spotlight always following his every step before finally reaching the ring, and sliding in under the bottom rope. Once in the ring, Alan climbs to the nearest turnbuckle and dazzles the crowd with a second "Pose of the Magistrate", from the second rope, the spotlight once again right on target, illuminating his beautifully chiseled body, before jumping down, and waiting for the match to begin.

Jerry Andrews: At Mass Destruction, Alan Christopher became one of the first men to even move Machine, securing a count out victory over the massive German. Can he continue his momentum into the Icemann Invitational?

Al Laiman: He’s certainly confident enough. I’ve never seen a man so in love with his own biceps.

Joseph Buckland checks that both men are ready before signalling for the bell. Shinryu is the first to make a move and he’s clearly pumped up for his debut match. Christopher, on the other hand, looks totally laid back and relaxed. He ambles out of his corner and into the middle where he and ‘Puro Power’ lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. The Magistrate of Magnificence quickly throws Shinryu backwards with his power and size advantage but Shinryu isn’t that easily put off. The two men engage in another tie up but the result is the same and the debutant is forced backwards. To add insult to injury, Christopher throws in another Pose of the Magistrate that only serves to drive Shinryu on.

Jerry Andrews: Well you have to give it to Shinryu, he’s persistent.

Al Laiman: You have to give it to Christopher, his pecs are marvellous.

Jerry Andrews: I’m getting worried about you, Al.

Shinryu goes for another lock up but at the last moment jumps to the side and hits a stuff kick combo to the knee of his opponent, catching him off guard. ‘Majestic’ Alan Christopher fights Shinryu off with a shove and goes for a quick Lariat but the Japanese competitor ducks, carrying his speed into the ropes. On the rebound he goes for a shoulder block but gets knocked to the ground instead. Christopher quickly hits the ropes and vaults over Shinryu before being met by his recovering opponent who attempts a Japanese Armdrag. Resisting the move, Christopher lands a knee to the gut and executes a perfect Exploder Suplex.

Al Laiman: As powerful as Puro Power may be, he’s facing someone that beats him in that area. He really needs a new game plan.

The Magistrate brushes off his abs nonchalantly as receives huge boos from the crowd. Shinryu gets to his feet but is met by Christopher who whips him into the corner. As he bounces out from the turnbuckles Christopher hits the ropes and attempts a Lariat Takedown… but his opponent ducks and nails a basement dropkick that sends Christopher to a knee. With an opening there for the taking, Shinryu nails a Tomahawk-Style chop to the cranium, followed by two more and a Mongolian Double Handed Chop that weakens his opponent.

Jerry Andrews: There’s the new game plan, grind him down with strike until his power is neutralised.

Al Laiman: It’s smart, but he needs to keep Christopher grounded if he’s going to walk out with the win.

Giving a grunt of something Japanese, Shinryu hits the ropes and rebounds with a Shining Wizard… but Christopher reverses and grabs his leg. Shinryu struggles as Christopher tries to lock in a Cloverleaf submission manoeuvre but can’t stop it from getting synched in tight.

Referee Buckland gets in position and asks ‘Puro Power’ for a submission but all he gets in return is something in angry Japanese. Instead, Shinryu stretches out for the ropes. They’re too far but he begins to claw him was toward them to Christopher’s discontent. Inch by inch he gets closer until finally he reaches the bottom rope. Christopher holds on until the count of four before releasing the move… only to drop an elbow straight across his opponents’ back.

Dragging Shunryu to his feet, Christopher locks in an Abdominal Stretch to capitalise on the damage to the back and ribs. Again Buckland asks for a submission but is sent away by Shinryu who would rather devote his energy to finding the ropes. He reaches out but is stopped in his tracks by a brutal salvo of punches to his exposed ribs and abdomen.

Jerry Andrews: I don’t know how much longer he’ll last in there, nobody in PCW does.

Al Laiman: There’s the catch in this one. Christopher has no idea how much pain he needs to inflict on Shinryu to get the victory. For all he knows he may have to tear Shinryu in half before he’ll give up.

After another rejected request for a submission, Christopher loses patience and releases… just so he can land an immaculately executed Perfect Plex in the middle of the ring, holding on for the bridge.

One…
Two…
TH…NO!

Shinryu gets his shoulder up in time but is immediately pulled back to his feet by Christopher who is looking to put this match to bed. He lands a hard kick to the gut and sets up Shinryu for the Swinging Full Nelson Slam.

Jerry Andrews: Perfect Grasp, it’s in!

Al Laiman: No it’s not!

Diving forward, Shinryu is able to send Christopher rolling across the mat and get a brief second of respite. Before Christopher can pull himself out of the corner he landed in, Shinryu launches himself forward and hits a powerful LARIATO! With his opponent stunned, Shinryu unleashes a brutal, lashing succession of knife edges chops followed by overhand chops one after another, and another, and another… and another and another until The Magistrate’s chest is completely red.

Pulling back from the corner, Shinryu gives a roar of his ‘Puro Power’ that brings the crowd into a chorus of cheers and then throws himself back into the corner with a Running Avalanche… but Christopher moves out of the way. When Shinryu turns to see where he is he receives a surprisingly athletic Enziguri to the head that sends him slumping into the corner. Christopher draws back from the corner now and sets himself before powering a huge Yakuza Kick toward his opponent’s head. This time it’s Shinryu’s turn to move and Christopher gets caught with his leg over the top rope.

Shinryu attacks immediately with a huge and sickening Yakuza Kick of his own to the back of Christopher’s skull. The Magistrate of Magnificence goes limp and offers Shinryu the chance to capitalise and he takes it, hauling the whole weight of Christopher onto his shoulders before delivering a Burning Hammer right in the centre of the ring.

One…
Two…
THREE!
NO!

Shinryu looks disbelieving at the referee who still says two so he decides to go for the finish. As he pulls Christopher to his feet though, he gets hit in the eye by a rogue thumb. Stumbling backward he’s at the mercy of Christopher who, with a cocky smile, find the time and energy to give everyone another Pose of the Magistrate.

Jerry Andrews: Now is NOT the time to show everyone your abs!

Al Laiman: Any time is a good time, Jerry!

Under a whole new cascade of jeers, Christopher looks to go for the Judgement Slam… but Shinryu falls out of the backdoor. Christopher turns just in time to receive a Jumping Reverse STO and gets locked straight into the Tsumirugawa Clutch. Right in the middle of the ring , Christopher has nowhere to go and when Joseph Buckland asks for a submission he taps out through the pain.

Mark Long: The winner and moving into the Semi-Finals of the Icemann Invitational Tournament… ‘PURO POWER’ KAIJIN SHINRYU!

Winner: ‘Puro Power’ Kaijin Shinryu via Submission

MAIN EVENT
Singles Match
Sean Rhodes vs. Johnny Vivacious {w/Stace Matthews}
Referee: Tyrone Little

Match Details: The lights in the arena dim and a shuddering bell toll rings out through the arena. The toll is followed by three more in a slow rhythm until an electric guitar riff starts, slow and melodic. The riff is that of ‘Hells Bells’ by AC/DC. After roughly ten second of the riff a cymbal begins to chime. The cymbal hits eight times in time with the guitar riff, After the eighth a stronger thud begins to hit.

On the final strike the guitar riff suddenly grows quicker and harder and the lights in the arena lift to show a man walking out onto the stage. It is 'Non Compos Mentis' Sean Rhodes. With a look toward the fans Rhodes begins to make his way to the ring, giving the crowd aggressive nods of appreciation as he goes. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp the lyrics begin to blast through the PA and NCM walks up the ring steps, onto the apron and into the ring. Taking a last look at the crowd, Rhodes makes his way to his corner and turns his attention to his opponent.

Jerry Andrews: You have to know that Sean Rhodes is pissed off after the events of Mass Destruction, Al.

Al Laiman: You can say he screwed Stormm first, you can say he screwed Rhodes too… either way because of Johnny Vivacious we do not have a Number One Contender for the World Title. Now he has to face the music after a long layoff from the ring.

The first riffs of ‘Back In Black’ by Joe Lynn Turner kick in with an awe-inspiring light show from above continuing through the screaming guitar ushering in the man himself, Pure Class Wrestling's resident network liability, Johnny Vivacious. The fans in full throat, both cheering and booing, for the modern-day man in black, standing steadfast atop the ramp. He glares down at the ring through silver framed reflective lenses. The lights give his irratic golden spikes a blazing look as he flips ashes about, rambling indistinctily with a Red dangling in his kisser. He turns his head slightly to the left, welcoming the blonde bombshell to join him on the stage. To catcalls and whistles, she kisses his cheek and they begin their descent.

Hand in hand, they reach the foot of the ramp, he bounds to the apron as she goes to the nearest steps. Holding the ropes open for her he follows her into the ring and taps her on the hip as he passes by her going to the furthest corner. He leaps to the second turnbuckle and poses, arms outstretched, looking up into the rafters briefly before hopping down and joining his wife in the center of the ring.

Jerry Andrews: Well there’s Johnny Vivacious and Sean Rhodes does not look happy at all.

Al Laiman: These two have a storied rivalry and this is merely one layer on top of many. Don’t expect a love-in here folks.

Tyrone Little calls both men out of their corners and gives them a special caution to keep the match on the level, though neither man appears to be listening much. Instead they’re more interested with each other and getting the match started. When Little finishes his instructions they nod in acceptance and back off into their respective corners. Finally the bell rings and they come out, but Johnny V stop short and flicks his lit cigarette straight at Rhodes, singeing his arm in the process and saying something.

Jerry Andrews: Did Johnny V just say “Pick that up, Trashman!”?

Al Laiman: I believe he just did… not a smart move Johnny.

Rhodes tries to keep his cool but Johnny knew exactly what he was doing. The insult draws Rhodes out of his corner in an angered state and the two men go for a lock up… but Johnny swivels past Rhodes and tags him on the back of the head. Nonchalantly, Johnny stretches out his arms and yawns before engaging in a second lock up attempt. This time the two men initiate a collar and elbow tie up that Vivacious transitions into a side headlock. Rhodes forces him into the ropes and nails a shoulder block on the return. Hitting the ropes himself, Rhodes runs into a boot to the gut and a Belly To Back Mat Slam.

Al Laiman: Johnny V knows enough about Rhodes to push the right buttons. Making him angry opens up a lot of avenues to inflict damage.

‘The Man In Black’ tries to lock in a grounded Abdominal Stretch but Rhodes has enough awareness to evade it and get back to his feet. He moves forward again but Vivacious is waiting for him with another boot and whip into the ropes. This time Johnny goes for a hip toss but Rhodes blocks it, giving a sadistic grin as Vivacious tries again but can’t lift him. With his rival pinned Rhodes throws a short arm clothesline and slams Johnny into the mat.

One…
Kick Out!

The wrestler formerly known as Non Compos Mentis pins way too early but quickly sets about doing more damage to the fans’ approval. Getting to his feet he quickly drops with an elbow to the heart, followed by another… then another. Staying down Rhodes turns to a violent flurry of punches to the head but is stopped when Referee Little reaches a three on his five count. Rhodes drags Johnny to his feet and whips him into the ropes, ducking for a Spinebuster but receiving a boot to the face for his trouble. With Rhodes stunned Johnny sets him up and nails a Belly to Belly Suplex. Back to a vertical base, Vivacious catches his breath before placing the sole of his boot in Rhodes’ face and twisting violently.

Jerry Andrews: Now that’s just nasty!

Al Laiman: That’s called trying to mess up your opponent’s vision, and it’s damn effective!

Rhodes struggles to recover as Vivacious pulls him up and lands a combo of elbow strikes to the head. His opponent stunned, Johnny hooks him up and hauls the heavier man into the air with a delayed suplex, apparently setting up for his trademark Rotary Suplex.

Jerry Andrews: Blended Whammie?

Al Laiman: You make that sound like the lamest cocktail ever.

Vivacious holds the bigger man as long as he dares… but it’s too long and Rhodes falls backwards to his feet, shoving Vivacious into the ropes instinctively. On the rebound Rhodes acts out of instinct yet again and lifts Johnny into the air, spins and delivers a Spinning Side Slam otherwise called the…

Jerry Andrews: Dum Dum Drop!? My god we haven’t seen one of those since the old days of PCW!

One...
Two…
THRE…NO!

Johnny pulls the kick out from nowhere just as Rhodes pulled the move from there. Going back on the offensive, Rhodes pulls Vivacious up and whips him into the corner. Rushing after him, Sean goes for a vicious Yakuza Kick in the corner… however Johnny V dives out of the way and Rhodes kicks a turnbuckle pad, jarring his knee in the process.

Johnny tries to take instant advantage, hooking in a rear waste lock. He uses all his strength to go for the Flipping Throw Suplex known as the Centre Ring Screwdriver but receives an elbow to the temple. The former-NCM reverses into a waist lock of his own and goes straight for the Back To Madness backdrop driver only for Johnny to reverse back, rolling through onto his feet.

Al Laiman: Johnny has to use that superior agility more, it’s useless to slug it out with a guy like Rhodes.

Going straight to the injured leg instead of another suplex, Vivacious hits a sharp kick to the back of the knee that forces him down into a bowing position. Not content with making his rival grovel, Mr One Night Only stands on the back of Rhodes, leaps into the air and makes him kiss the mat with a decapitating Elbow Drop across the neck.

Jerry Andrews: Hell-Bow! Rhodes has got to be reeling from that.

One…
Two…
TH..NO!

Vivacious’ cockiness seems to be gone for the moment as he goes back to business and lifts Rhodes up. Testing his punching power, Johnny unleashes a hard right to the jaw of Rhodes who replies instinctively with one of his own. The two men begin to exchange blows with Rhodes picking up the advantage one by one as Vivacious plays to his strength. Rhodes finally nails a bludgeoning headbutt that rocks Vivacious and presents an opening. Spinning around with uncharacteristic speed, Rhodes throws out his arm for his trademark Spinning Backfist… and hits thin air as Johnny Vivacious ducks. Off balance, Rhodes is left completely vulnerable and receives a boot to the gut. Before he can react Johnny sets him up and nails the Spinning Neckbreaker he calls the Southern Screw.

One…
Two…
THR..NO!

Rhodes gets his shoulder up at the last moment, causing Vivacious to grunt with frustration. Now determined to put him away Johnny drags the near dead-weight of Rhodes to his feet and pushes him toward the corner. Moving behind him he lifts the former 3 Time North American Champion up and places him on the top turnbuckle facing out into the crowd. Signalling for the huge Inverted Superplex, Johnny V climbs behind him.

Jerry Andrews: He’s going for the Very Impressive Plex!

Al Laiman: If he hits it that’ll be…well… very impressive, Jerry.

Jerry Andrews: You don’t say…

Wrapping his arm around the head of Rhodes, Johnny goes to lift him up but Rhodes fights back with a punch to the top of the head. Following it with another two Rhodes loosens the grip and turns enough to land another crushing, dome breaking headbutt that causes Johnny to tumble from the turnbuckles into the middle of the ring. Rhodes manoeuvres himself around on the top turnbuckle and takes stock of his situation, clearly unused to being perched so high up.

Al Laiman: That is the very definition of a fish out of water, Jerry.

Jerry Andrews: Surely that’s a fish... not a two hundred and fifty pound man stood on a top turnbuckle, Al?

With Vivacious motionless, Rhodes closes his eyes out of pure madness or mere hope and throws himself off with a huge Suicide Headbutt… that’s called Suicide for a very good reason. Vivacious moves out of the way and watches as Rhodes crashes head first into the mat, knocking him out cold without a doubt.

Al Laiman: You know if you take a fish out of water it dies, right?

Johnny V pulls himself to his feet using the ropes and sees his chance to put the match away. With Rhodes barely moving he begins to scout his rival for the Fisherman’s Hangover, watching intently as Rhodes reaches all fours at a painfully slow pace.

Suddenly the crowd erupts with boos as a large figure bursts through the curtain and rushes to the ring in a blur of black and white.

Jerry Andrews: Is that another referee?!

Al Laiman: It look like it… wait, that’s no referee! That’s Justin Michaels in a makeshift referee’s shirt!

Stormm arrives at ringside, unknown to Johnny V who continues to wait for his opponent to rise. Reaching under the bottom rope Stormm grabs hold of a leg and pulls one of the three men in the ring outside.

Jerry Andrews: What the hell is he doing to Tyrone Little?!

Stormm point to his referee shirt as if to claim he’s taking over, and when Little rejects his legitimacy and tries to enter the ring… Stormm decks him with a vicious right hand to the face. As Stormm slides into the ring he catches Johnny V’s eye and the Man In Black is completely livid with the interference. Taking his eye off Rhodes he begins to argue with Stormm who looks totally calm.

Vivacious turns back to Rhodes but he was distracted too long as receives a sudden boot to the midsection followed by a devastating, bone-crushing Double Underhook Piledriver.

Jerry Andrews: Fractured Mind! I don’t think Rhodes knows that Tyrone Little has been knocked out!

Rhodes drapes an arm over Vivacious’ chest and Stormm gets down to count the pin.

One…
Two…
THREE!

And The Winner Is…
Details: “Hells Bells” hits the PA System but ring announcer Mark Long is unsure what to announce as the result was counted by Justin Michaels, not an official referee. Rhodes slowly gets to his feet and is met by Stormm who greets him with a smarmy smile, knowing he’s caused chaos. The two men stare down each other for a few moments, the tension in the crowd and ring rising as the fans call for fisticuffs between them. Nothing happens though as Stormm retreats from the ring in a satisfied manner.

Given no advice at all, Mark Long lifts the mic to his mouth and hesitantly announces…

Mark Long: The winner is….SEAN….!

The announcer is cut off before his announcement can be made as “Walk Hard” by Dewey Cox replaces Sean Rhodes’ music. Out from the back walks the inimitable Captain Walker who has a less than impressed look on his face as he makes his way down the ramp.

Captain Walker: Hold it raht’ there!

Walker continues down the ramp and passes Stormm who gives him a cocky smirk. Before Walker passes he says something to the slightly more colourful tone of “I’ll see you in the back, mister!” and continued to the ring where he climbs inside to see the confused face of Sean Rhodes and the tired one of Johnny Vivacious hanging onto the bottom rope like a spider being flushed down a plug hole. The music cuts and Walker addresses the fans and competitors again.

Captain Walker: As much as I appreciate yous two guys’ efforts out here tonight, Justin Michaels is not a PCDubyah’ official an’ I can’t allow his decision ta stand. I can’t award ya tha win, Sean, I’m sorry. As a results dis here match is a no contest!

The crowd boo the decision but more for the fact it was Stormm that ruined the result. Rhodes looks furious with the decision and is on the verge of exploding after two straight events of being cheated out of a win… but he manages to compose his anger just enough to accept the decision and nod in recognition to the Captain. The camera shifts to Johnny V slumped in the corner in an exhausted heap with a sick smile across his face, perhaps only because he didn’t lose the match. Zooming in further on the smirk, the cameras fade to black.
