Live on E! from the Peace Center for the Performing Arts in Greenville, South Carolina
Introduction
Details: Celebrities and Pure Class Wrestling Faithful alike, decked out in their best formal wear, are still entering the Peace Center for Performing Arts in Greenville, South Carolina for the seventh edition of the Icey Awards. Earlier in the week Pureclasswrestling.com announced something major between Michael Wryght and Luis Malave were going to happen at the event, so it'll only be a matter of time whether that comes true or not.
The camera's feed switches to inside the Center and you can see many of the celebrity faces in attendance; Sisqó, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Samuel L. Jackson, Yvonne Strahovski from the hit Showtime series Dexter, Johnny Depp, Rihanna, Andrew Lincoln and Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead fame, former PCW World Champion Justin Michaels, Robert Patrick, Dennis Rodman, a guy dressed as the Marvel Comics character Deadpool, Helena Bonham Carter and her life partner Tim Burton, and Morgan Freeman. (The camera apparently likes to name drop, just saying.)
The camera continues to pan around the arena and, along with numerous Christmas decorations, you can see two specialized rings set-up- one on the left side of the center stage and one on the right side of the center stage. After a few more moments of panning the arena and a very short hype session from Al Laiman and Jerry Andrews (both in their finest wear for the Iceys special), the camera focuses to Justin Roberts in the ring on the left. Justin introduces tonight's Master of Ceremonies (read: Host) Robert Downey, Jr.
Robert is standing on the center stage at a podium and cracks a few jokes about the evening before kicking it back to Justin Roberts. Justin then introduces the competitors for the first match of the evening- Eira vs. Areas.
MATCH ONE
Genesis Championship Tournament Semi Finals
Genesis Rules
Eira vs. Areas
Referee: Eddie Lane
Details: (As a low fog begins to creep across the PCW arena “Untouchable” by Xtortion Audio begins its slow intro into the ears of the PCW faithful before the pulsating beat takes hold. With an indigo lighting now prominent, and a flickering of the lights to the beat of the song, Eira cuts through the curtains as the female vocals kick in.
Standing at the mouth of the stage, her robes pooling at her feet, she stares at the ring with steely eyes. She does not look to the crowd, or to the announcers, but simply to the ring. After a moment to, she begins to make her way to the ring, each step seemingly anchored to the beat of the song as she makes her way down the ramp.)
Mark Long: “Introducing first, she hails from parts unknown, Eira!”
(Cutting through the fog like a vorpal sword, she takes the steps and walks the length of the apron. Stopping midway through, she wipes her feet before slipping into the ring. Before she can finish her entrance, she’s interrupted by Areas’ theme music.)
“Ammmerriiccaannnn girls and Ameerriiccaaan guys…”
(The slow vocal opening of “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” by Toby Keith interrupts Eira as Areas takes to the stage. Oddly enough, this time he is carrying more than just the American Flag, which he holds proudly in his right arm. In his left arm, he raises it high into the air, is an apron!)
“Why aren’t you in my kitchen!?”
(...Areas calls out from the top of the stage, and Eira looks as though she’s ready for murder.)
Mark Long: “Now introducing our second competitor…”
(Mark Long stops, being approached by somebody and handed a piece of paper. Pausing, he looks at them as though they’re joking, before finally speaking once more.)
Mark Long: “Hailing from the greatest country ever to exist, ever, despite it’s overpopulation of Arabs, Jews, Mexicans, and all sorts of dirty eurotrash…”
(The crowd disdain begins to swell as Areas looks on from the stage, waiving the American flag proudly all the while holding out the Apron with a look of deadly seriousness.)
Mark Long: “He is Areas!?”
(It is then that Areas begins his determined march down the ramp, arguing with each and every single fan that seems to have a differing opinion from his own. Soon, PCW security floods the ramp, lining the barriers to keep crowd from attacking the superstar. Areas looks on with a defiant smirk, approaching the ring and tossing the apron in at Eira. It hits her, slipping to the canvas as she stoically gazes at Areas.
Mark Long can be seen apologizing profusely to fans at ringside as Areas joists the American Flag on the front right turnbuckle, but before he can enter the ring Eira charges the ropes, throwing her shoulder between them and directly into Areas’ gut, it looks as though she has finally had enough of the shtick, and the crowd solidly supports her.
Eddie Lane quickly tries to regain control, approaching Eira, but she doesn’t seem to care. Rolling beneath the bottom rope, she quickly reaches back in for the apron and carries it to the fallen Areas. As he stumbles to his feet, Eira wraps it around his neck and begins to choke him! The security rushes the two, pulling them apart and trying to bring order back to the show. Eira is forced back into the ring as Areas is allowed to recuperate. Pushing security away, he stumbles into the ring and Eddie Lane quickly cuts off a rushing Eira to check on Areas.)
“She didn’t hurt Captain ‘Murrica!? She’s feisty, she wants it!?”
(...Areas scoffs, as Eddie Lane steps back and calls for the bell; Eira instantly crashes into Areas, taking him to the ground and absolutely going berserk. Punches, elbows, forearms, they call come raining down on a reeling Areas. Areas stumbles to his feet and Eira’s pushes the charge into the corner where she drives knee after knee into Areas’ gut before stepping away and removing her robes. As she turns, she’s met with a charging Areas who takes her down to the mat with a double leg takedown with relative ease. Landing on top of her, he blows her a kiss before putting her in a headlock. Controlling her on the ground, he drags her to the center of the ring with a crawl. Leading Eira to her fight with the headlock, he quickly floats her over with a takedown.
Eddie Lane gets into position as Areas wrenches the hold, Eira doesn’t seem to be ready to give up. Curling her legs inwards, she begins to drive knees into Areas’ back, eventually forcing him to release the hold. Areas stumbles to his feet and soon turns around to meet a lunging Eira. She catches Areas with a flying hurricanrana, Areas hits the mat with a resounding thud before stumbling to his feet.
Areas charges in, swinging wildly with a right, but Eira ducks it. Letting the right slip past her right cheek, she jumps, landing on Areas’ shoulder and locking her legs around his thick neck before hitting an inverted leg scissors toss on the big man which she bridges into a pin.
….
A quick kick out from Areas, who powers to his feet and pulls Eira into for a side belly-to-belly suplex, laying across her for the pin, while gyrating his hips suggestively.
1…
Eira kicks out, visibly struggling to get Areas’ massive figure off of her own petite frame. Areas steps back, beginning to stomp away at the rising Eira before pulling her in for a quick snap suplex. He goes for another cover.
1….
Eira kicks out! Areas wastes no time dragging her to her feet, stepping into her frame and hitting her with a hard knee to her abdomen before tossing her into the corner. Placing a hand on either side of her, grasping the middle rope, he drives shoulder after shoulder into her abdomen before stepping back and allowing her to stumble out. Hitting the nearby ropes, he goes for a running lifting double leg, but Eira’s slips out and rolls off of his back.
Hitting the ropes, she flies at the turning Areas and hits a chop block across the back of his right knee. Areas hits the canvas hard and quickly stumbles to his feet, as he turns his met with a flying knee from Eira!? Stumbling back, he’s quickly pulled into double collar tie as she begins to rain in knees and elbows.
Stepping in, Eira jumps, taking a hold of Areas’ right arm with her own before wrapping her legs from beneath his right shoulder with her ankles interlocking around neck. Tucking her body in, she uses the momentum to take Areas to the ground with an inventive armbar takedown. But instead of going for the submission hold, she stands.
Holding Areas’ arm, she twists it, leading him to his knees before rushing in and hitting a brutal knee clip across his chin – for a moment, it looks as though the lights have turned off in Areas’ eyes. Slumping over, Areas lays motionless on the mat as Eira’s heaves and pushes to put him on his back and cover him for the pin.
1….
2….
..
Areas kicks out, and Eira doesn’t cease. Using the nape of his neck to guide him, Eira leads Areas to his knees only to leap and catch him across the face with a low dropkick. Rolling off the move, she quickly goes for the pin once more.
1….
2….
Areas powers out! Throwing Eira off of him before charging to his feet, rushing shoulder first into Eira’s stomach, he joists her into the air and wraps his arms around her. Pulling her down into his shoulder, he quickly spins and slams her down with a violent spinebuster and the pin attempt.
1…
2….
….
Eira kicks out at the very last minute, and the crowd gasps before breaking into a cheer. Areas doesn’t too pleased, and begins to hurl vulgarities at the crowd as he leads Eira to her feet once again. Tossing her into the corner, he rushes behind her and clotheslines her into the corner. As she stumbles out, he rushes at her from behind and joists her into the air. Rotating her mid air, he places her stomach on his shoulder before charging her body into the ropes. Stepping away, he allows the momentum to throw her face first to the canvas.)
“On your knees, wommmannn!?”
(Areas calls out to the fallen Eira, and that’s when she erupts. Bursting from the canvas, she uses a step-behind leg trip to take Areas down and instantly mounts him. As she begins to rain down punches, Lane goes for the count as Areas’ shoulders are pinned.
…
Eddie Lane doesn’t even get a one count, as Eira rolls off of Areas to avoid pinning him – she wants to inflict damage. Areas stumbles away, rolling out of the ring to gather his thoughts, but that’s when he’s met with a flying Eira. Diving over the top rope, she crashes across his with a vertical body splash. Both competitors hit the ground as Eddie Lane watches on, with Genesis Rules, there are no count outs.
Eira is first up, and she doesn’t allow Areas the chance to recover. Dragging Areas to his feet by what little hair he has, she quickly yanks down and drops him back first across her knee. Areas rolls of, kicking wildly as he rolls to his feet holding his back. Eira waits, and as Areas turns she rushes him – but he catches her. As Eira jumps for a rana, she’s caught.
Holding her into the air, Areas tosses her back first into the barrier with an impromptu powerbomb counter. Falling to her hands and knees, Areas grabs her by the nape of her neck and the waist and heaves her into the ring apron. With a thud, she bounces off of it and rolls across the ground. Eddie Lane rolls out to check on Eira, but she shoves him away. Areas, looks away from her, looking at some female members of the PCW faithful and pointing out to them.)
“This is why you belong in the kitchen. Leave the fighting to the -”
(With a sickening thud, Areas’ chest and face bounce against the top of the nearby steel stairs. Eira had used the time wisely, as Areas taunted the crowd she took to the apron. As he walked towards the corner, he neared the stairs, and when he stopped, she acted. Climbing the apron, she had waited, and when the time was right – rushed forward!
Running along the length of the apron, she took the air, tucking her legs into her chest before extending them forcefully on to the back of Areas’ head, forcing his body on to the steel stairs. Rolling off the move, she wasted no time and pushing and heaving with all of her might to get Areas beneath the bottom rope. The crowd roared, but Eira seemed indifferent about their reaction; she wasn’t out there for them.
As she got Areas into the ring, she collapsed atop the larger man, as Eddie Lane counted for the pin – and the crowd followed suit,

...3!?)
Winners: Eira d. Areas via pinfall
(Following the victory, Eddie Lane helps Eira to her feet as the PCW Faithful cheer in unison. Moments later, Areas comes to, slams his hands on the mat, and then rolls out of the ring. The feed then switches to the center podium.)
Biggest Debut or Return
Past winners include: Landon Divine; Johnny Vivacious; Silence; Justin Michaels & Johnny Vivacious; High Tide; AWAssholes
Presenter: Peyton Manning
Nominees: El Musculo; Darren Hughes; Murdoc; Pegasus; Eira; Justin Kaard; Ace Anderson; Scythe; Rick Majors
Future NFL Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning presented the award. After naming the nominees, “ Pain Redefined” by Disturbed played and Peyton announced that Ace Anderson has won the award. Ace, dressed in a very handsome tuxedo, stepped up from his seat and made his way to center stage, all-the-while the fans cheering in the process.
Ace's acceptance speech started thanking everyone who voted for him, then began thanking close friends and family, which included his child and his friend Benjamin Banks. Ace then went on to say that his return was one that wasn't easy to make, but one that will be permanent until his retirement. At the word retirement, the PCW Faithful began to boo, but Ace informed them that it won't be happening today and that all he's worried about right now is winning his match at Collision Course and becoming the International Champion for the first time. Ace mentioned that he doesn't plan on underestimating his opponents, but after the match, win or lose, he will be making a challenge to a special someone for Mass Destruction.
Ace then thanked everyone again and then walked off stage.
Winner(s): Ace Anderson with 40% of the vote
Best Match
Past winners include: Pegasus vs. LoKi @ Revival; Ace Anderson vs. Lantlas @ Collision Course; Al Laiman vs. Ace Anderson @ Living A Legacy II; Nacho Grande vs. Heavy Metal @ Living A Legacy III; LoKi vs. Murdoc vs. Lantlas @ Game Over 3; Grimm vs. Sadistic @ Mass Desutrction II
Presenters: Members of the Miami Heat
The award was presented by Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, & Chris Bosh. The Heat players actually received quite a bit of jeers, but none of the players seemed to flinch much. Chris Bosh actually threw up the nWo Wolfpac hand jesture, while Wade pointed very Scott Hall-like at Lebron. Once getting to the stage, the Heat players compared the Best Match nominees to themselves by stating, “Sometimes you get people together who know how to tear things up.”
After naming the nominees, “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes plays and Lebron James announces that the Deadly Rumble at Deadly Intentions 3 won the award. Dwayne Wade was about to accept the award, but before he was able to, PCW Superstar and current International Champion Whitey Ford steps up onto the stage (wearing the latest in white trash fashion- a pair of cut-up jeans, a flannel shirt, and backwards cap with sunglasses) to accept it himself.
“THE Asshole” stated that he knew the fans voted for the match due to his unannounced participation, so in return, he's going to take this award and place it on his mantle, to go along with his Most Likely to Be Stoned award and his High Times Man of the Year ward. Ford then looks squarely into the face of the Miami Heat players, tells them he thinks they suck, and then walks off the stage, leaving everyone enraged.
Winner(s): Deadly Rumble: Deadly Intention 3 with 40% of the vote
Best Tag Team
Past winners include: Heaven & Hell; Dominion; 2Guys; Grimm & Sadistic
Presenters: 2Guys
Nominees: Crazy Muscles; Sea Men; Heaven & Hell; The Ascension; Andy D & Korey Kill
The next award was for the PCW Best Tag Team Award. However, the award was presented on the blue carpet outside the arena, and was presented by Andy D's “Life Advisors” Menace and Jackle. The two men known as 2Guys were wearing “I'm With Stupid” shirts, with the arrows on the shirts pointing up, towards their faces.
Menace and Jackle proclaimed they were announcing the award outside because they lost their tickets to the show in their tuxedos.
And lost their tuxedos in the Loss Prevention office of Kmart.
After they forgot to pay for the tuxedos before they walked out of the store with them on because they forgot their wallets in their car.
Which they forgot to bring because it was a beautiful winter day and they decided to arrive by stagecoach.
Either way, because they couldn't get into the venue, they couldn't provide the super expensive, highly sophisticated special effects and stuff they wanted to provide, so they had to do with a Generic Promotional Background that they were able to piece together from confiscated fan signs.
The feed shows the “set” where signs such as, “Satan's Coming to Town,” “I Want Andy's D,” “MONROE'S PLACE,” and “I Came to see the White Asshole,” are in full display. 2Guys then get in-front of the set and announce the nominees. And with a drumroll that Menace made, Jackle announces that Crazy Muscles had won the award for Best Tag Team.
However, due to the fact that because they didn't want to spoil who won, they couldn't ask the winners to come out here to accept the award. And then 2Guys “kicked” it back to inside the arena, by actually making a kicking motion when they said it.
Winners: Crazy Muscles with 73% of the vote
Most Loved
Past winners include: Angelica Night-Hunter; Lantlas; Pegasus; Nacho Grande (2x)
Presenter: Santa Claus
Nominees: Crazy Muscles; Pegasus; Nacho Grande; Andy D; Kaijin Shinryu
As this was a very special Christmas edition of The Iceys and Trauma, the presenter for the Most Loved Award was none other than Santa Claus himself. Santa made his way to the stage via sleigh pulled by reindeer, and, with a sack in his possession, made his way to the podium. Santa pulled out a few envelopes from his sack and then read off the nominees. After announcing the nominees, Santa informed that the person furthest from his naughty list this year was PCW's very own Nacho Grande, as Nacho has won the award for the third-consecutive time.
Once announced as the winner, Nacho comes onto the stage sporting a very formal (and ugly), red and green Christmas sweater, with a picture of Heavy Metal's face on it, a pair of candy cane stripped long-John's, and a specialized red and green luchador mask.
Once on the stage, Nacho gave Santa a big hug and then began his speech. Like Anderson before him, Nacho thanked everyone who voted for him, and appreciated that they continue to stick by him year after year. Nacho gives a shout out to Heavy Metal, but also to Justin Kaard, LoKi, Lantlas, and Ace Anderson as well. Nacho then promises to continue hanging tough and vows that 2013 will be the year that he challenges for the PCW World Championship. Then Nacho exits the stage to a large round of applause.
Winner(s): Nacho Grande with 36% of the vote
Most Inspirational
Past winners include: Benjamin Banks; Lantlas; Grimm; Nacho Grande; Andy D
Presenter: Jeremy Lin
Nominees: Justin Kaard; Andy D; Nacho Grande; Ace Anderson; Rick Majors; Darren Hughes
The award was presented by NBA player Jeremy Lin. Lin had made his way on the stage with little fanfare, and when he made it to the podium. Once at the podium, Lin said that, “...if this year has taught [him] anything it's that, even if you aren't winning all the time, even if you've had some problems with injuries, even if you've been told you would never be good enough, or weren't tall enough, or weren't strong enough to be a superstar, you can still inspire everyone to achieve their dreams and show them even average guys like [him] could get the job done. That's why [he] was accepted the offer to present this award. And the nominees are...”
Lin then announced the nominees, and then “Hypest Hype” by Chase and Status played and Jeremy announced that Andy D had won the award (for the second-consecutive-time). Andy D, didn't look quite as shocked as he was when he won the award at the last Icey Awards, came onto the stage in a loose-fitting tuxedo and a bucket hat.
Andy shook Lin's hand, then stepped up to the podium as his music cuts off. Andy thanked everyone for voting him Most Inspirational for the second time. Andy said before Mr. Lin came out to present the award, he wouldn't have thought he would have won the award, but after Lin's speech, he realized that it made a lot of sense for him to win the award. But now, now it's time for him to get ready to face-off against Q and go for that PCW Genesis Championship.
Andy D ripped away at his dress attire in a similar fashion to that of a basketball player removing their warm-up gear. Andy raised his award and then began to make his way to the stage on the right side.
Winner(s): Andy D with 40% of the vote
MATCH TWO
Genesis Championship Tournament Semi Finals
Genesis Rules
Andy D vs. Q
Referee: Steve Shaw
Details: “Well I’ve been down soooo god damn low…”
(“Hypest Hype” by Chase and Status plays as Andy D takes the stage, the crowd taking to their feet to greet him. Standing at the top of the stage, he pauses for a moment before bouncing lightly around. He shakes out his legs, before tapping them to the beat of the song, his head soon follows suit with a slight bob to the rhythm. As the song kicks in, he lunges into the air as pyros fire off behind him; he lands in a slight sprint on the stage before slowing down to mingle with fans leaning over the barrier.)
Mark Long: “Introducing first, hailing from the United Kingdom, Andy D!”
(After slapping a few hands, he sprints towards the ring and slips beneath the bottom rope. Rushing up the nearest turnbuckle, he takes to the second turnbuckle and ushers them to cheer louder – which they do, Andy D obviously being over with the crowd.)
“Come little children, I’ll take thee away into a land of enchantment…”
(The slow plucking of strings slowly meanders into soft rhythm as {the OOC Icey Award winning} “Come Little Children” washes over the arena. The regular lighting is replaced with a blue wash that seems to drown the crowd within its haze.
Q takes the stage slowly, looking at the crowd and yet not acknowledging; looking totally enveloped by a sorrow that seems out of place, and yet his focus comes to rest upon Andy D warming up in the ring. He makes his way towards the ring at a crawling pace, turning his back to it to gaze at the curtain for a moment before turning to face the ring once more, and watching Andy D with heavy eyes.)
Mark Long: “Now introducing the second competitor, Q!”
(Q steps up the stairs, each step more hesitant than the last, making his way mid-apron before wiping off his boots and slipping beneath the top rope. He looks to the crowd, finally acknowledging them with a soft wave before walking to the corner and looking down at it. Steve Shaw goes to check on Q, unsure what to do with the man’s demeanor before checking with Andy D and calling for the bell.
Andy D quickly circles, hitting the ropes and doing a roll all the while Q seems to hesitantly circle. And D quickls goes in for a lock up, but Q goes for a hip throw. Andy D slips his arm free and does a roll across Q’s shoulders. Q drops, angling his shoulders in an attempt to counter the counter – Andy D lands on his knees and kips up.
Andy D turns and is surprised to see Q waiting, not attacking, simply waiting. Andy D isn’t sure what to do with this, and quickly steps in with a series of shooto style kicks to the midsection. Q stumbles, but is seemingly biding his time. Andy steps back, measuring, before going for another kick but Q catches it, and takes Andy D down with a single leg. Q rolls off, waits for Andy D to raise only to take him over with a hip throw. He quickly goes for a pin.
….
Andy instantly kicks out, rolling from beneath Q and springing to his feet. As Q rises to met him, he put back down with a dropkick. Q rises again, meeting another dropkick with his chin and falling to the ground. Q gets up, Andy tries for a third, but Q rolls under it. Andy lands on his feet, hitting the ropes and attempting to use his speed to catch Q off guard, but Q matches it. Q rolls out of the way, hitting the opposite ropes and crisscrossing Andy D’s path.
Q stops as Andy passes, rushing into Andy from behind, reaching around quickly with his right arm, hooking it around Andy D’s neck and rolling him over with an inverted snapmare. Q rolls across and attempts a hold but Andy D quickly slips out and hits Q with a hard kick.
Q rises and Andy springs into the air, catching him with a hurricanrana, Andy rolls him up for a pin attempt.
1….
Q rolls through, reversing the hold and pinning Andy D’s shoulders to the canvas with his feet as he goes for a pin.
1….
Andy D kicks out. Springing to his feet and turning and laying across Q with a bridging pin! Shaw quickly gets into position again.
1….
Q bends his knees, bridging to his feet while holding Andy D’s waist. Rotating, he presses Andy D’s back to his belly before heaving him into the air. He lets Andy slip down, catching him by his knees before stepping over Andy’s shoulders and dropping down. After the impact, Q goes for the pin.
1…
2….
Kick out from Andy! The crowd is going wild after the amazing pin exchange, Shaw checks on both men as they get to their feet. Andy rushes in, going for a running single leg dropkick and hitting it, but Q gets right back up, matching Andy D’s speed step for step. As Andy stands, he’s met with his single leg dropkick from Q. His loose fitting v-neck clings to his body as he springs back up to his feet, waiting for Andy D to rise before rushing in for a double leg, but Andy leapfrogs him. Q stops, turns, enzuigiri from Andy D! Pin attempt!
1….
2……
…..
Kick out from Q! Andy D gets up, with a look of exasperation on his face. Reaching down, he leads Q to his feet by the sleeve of his shirt. Measuring Q up by the point of his chin, he steps back and hits a clean vertical dropkick and quickly goes for the pin attempt once more.
1….
Q not only kicks out, but rolls the pin. Bridging to his feet, he leads Andy D with his right arm before sweeping one arm high and the other low, taking away Andy’s balance and dropping him to canvas. Q steps back before throwing a knee towards the fallen Andy D, but D rolls out of the way. Springing to his feet, he hits the middle rope and flys towards Q planting him with a beautiful missile dropkick! But Q rolls through with the momentum!
Taking the boots cleanly on his chest, he hits the canvas back first and rolls back and on to his legs. Stumbling back, he hits the ropes and rushes forward – but Andy D is ready!? Dragonbite!? No! As Andy D scales Q going for the Shining Wizard, Q drops to his knees and Andy floats over him.
Andy D flies over Q and lands on the middle rope. Q turns and is met with a springboard sunset flip! Andy D for the pin!
1….
2……
……..
Kick out from Q, the crowd goes absolutely nuts. Steps back, looking at the slow-to-rise Q before taking to the apron. He begins to stomp with his right foot all the while urging Q to rise with his left hand. As Q stands, Andy D takes flight! Soaring through the air, he brings his right leg forward, leading with his knee, looking to hit a flying Dragon’s Bite – Q steps into it! Leaping into the air, Q catches Andy D’s head, letting his own legs rise above Andy’s and interlocking them and dropping down with Andy D, hitting a beautiful counter small package driver mid-air and rolling into the pin!?
1…
2…
…3!?)
Winners: Q d. Andy D via pinfall
(Following the victory, Q stands and, while referee Shaw tries to raise Q's hand in victory, Q quickly pulls it away and rushes over to the fallen Andy D. Q has a look of genuine concern, calling to anyone who can hear him for help.
Meanwhile, Andy D, while dazed, is actually not that out of it and gets up on his own. Q tries to help Andy “steady,” but Andy doesn't need the help. He stares at Q quizzically, then slowly exits the ring. Q stands in the ring, distraught at the outcome, as the feed quickly cuts to center stage.)
I Am
Details: (As the feed switches to the center stage, the entire arena goes black. Questioning whispers can be heard by those in attendance, but they're immediately quieted when a familiar tune can be heard throughout the Peace Center for Performing Arts...
...and after a minute or so, when the tune begins to fade out, the arena once again goes quiet. But before any new chatter is brought up, a lone image appears on the stage...
...and the quietness of the arena is replaced with yet another familiar tune...
...and, while the theme plays, a multitude of bats emerge flying from seemingly nowhere. Fog begins to fill the screen until two images can be seen emerging through...
...it's tonight's host Robert Downey Jr. as Bat-Man and PCW Superstar Darren “The Bomber” Hughes as his trusty sidekick Robin!
The popular theme song fades out as Robert and Darren begin to look around, looking for danger it seems, but none is found. That is, until...
...stepping out onto the stage is Pegasus dressed as a alligator!)
“Robin”: Holy wilikers, Bat-Man! It's Killer Croc! I've had my run-ins with him already! You're on you're own for this one!
(“Robin” quickly exits...stage left...leaving “Bat-man” alone to deal with one of his most evil foes. “Croc” appears to have a look of, “Ut-oh!” as “Bat-Man” walks over to him and decks him with a hilarious looking uppercut; a “Wham!” sound effect playing after the blow. “Croc” falls flat onto the arena floor.
“Bat-Man” then, in a deeper, altered voice, announces that now that evil has been triumphed, it's time to announce the Best Singles Star.)
Best Singles Star
Past winners include: Ace Anderson {2x}; Lantlas; Heavy Metal; LoKi; Grimm
Presenter: Robert Downey Jr. (as Bat-Man)
Nominees: Sean Rhodes; Grimm; MONROE; Scythe;
After “Bat-Man” announced the nominees, it was time to reveal the winner. “Winter Shaker” by Woven Hand played, which could have meant only one person was the winner- Grimm!
Grimm, dressed in a slightly wrinkled white tuxedo, made his way onto center stage and then once there, calmly looked at Robert Downey Bat-Man. Just Grimm’s stare alone had to scare “Bat-Man” because Robert immediately removed his mask, threw it down, and handed Grimm his award. Grimm accepted the award and was going to walk away without saying anything, but the crowd began chanting, “Speech! Speech!”
Grimm pondered for a moment, looked at the unmasked “Bat-Man” and then said one phrase- “Bat-Man fears Grimm.” Mr. Downey Jr. made no effort to retort it, instead, just nodding his head in agreement. Grimm then stared out into the crowd and exited the stage.
Winner(s): Grimm with 47% of the vote
To Be The Best, You Have to Beat The Champ
Details: (As Grimm is making his way back to his seat, the feed switches over to the stage on the left side of the arena, where, in a black tuxedo with embroidered blue handkerchief and blue necktie, PCW backstage official and former interviewer Miguel Malone is standing in the center of the ring. Along side Miguel, wearing his finest black suit, is PCW World Champion Sean Rhodes.
Sean has the PCW World Championship displayed proudly over his shoulder, but the look on his face shows something other than pride. After a brief moment, Miguel begins to speak.)
Miguel Malone: I hope everyone’s having a good time out here tonight!
(Fans cheer.)
Miguel Malone: If you guys don’t remember me, my name is Miguel Michael Malone. I am the cousin of “The Icemann” Luis Malave and the best interviewer PCW has ever had.
(The camera quickly pans over to a shot of Shane Dodge and then Kassandra Black, neither one of them looking impressed. The feed then switches back to Miguel.)
Miguel Malone: I’m also the man responsible for selling his stock in Pure Class Wrestling to “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght; a man that I feel was robbed of an opportunity to become PCW World Champion at Collision Course when Luis removed Michael from his scheduled match against Grimm and the man standing to my left here- Sean Rhodes.
(The PCW Faithful pop at the names of Grimm and Sean Rhodes.)
Miguel Malone: Sean, you and I, we’ve never seen eye-to-eye, but even I noticed the total lack of respect shown to you tonight by the PCW Faithful and the other voters of The Iceys. Here you are, probably the most dominant champion we’ve had since PCW re-launched roughly two years ago, and the voters vote Grimm as the Best Singles Star?
How does that even make sense? How many World Championships has Grimm won in the last two years? Who has he beaten; A guy in a Taco Bell mask, his brother, and, with exception of my cousin “The Icemann” and “Mr. Showtime,” a whole lot of nobodies in the Deadly Rumble. Yet, here he is, for the second year in a row, the winner of the Best Singles Star award. It makes really no sense to me. How do you feel about it, NCM?
(Miguel sticks the microphone in Sean’s face, awaiting an answer.)
Sean Rhodes: … … … …
(Miguel pulls the mic away from Sean and begins to speak.)
Miguel Malone: Come on, Mentis. Let’s not get old school with the breathing here. Just answer the quEAAA…!
(Sean grabs Miguel by the tie and brings him, and the microphone, close, and then begins to speak.)
Sean Rhodes: Miguel, I do not have time for your games. And the name’s Sean Rhodes now. Not Non Compos Mentis.
Miguel Malone (squeaking in): You’re sure still acting like NCM.
Sean Rhodes: I want you to understand something Miguel. Actually, I want everyone to understand something. And that includes you, Phinehas.
(The feed cuts to the crowd, where Grimm sits listening intensely.)
Sean Rhodes: Grimm may have won the Best Singles Star. And I for one will admit that Grimm is a great singles star. But there’s one thing that Grimm isn’t…and that’s PCW World Champion. That honor is held by me.
(Mixed reactions of cheers and jeers from the crowd are heard.)
Sean Rhodes: And until Grimm can defeat me for the PCW World Championship, in my eyes, he is not the best superstar PCW has to offer- I am! Phinehas, you and I don’t have a whole lot of history together, despite us both being here since two-thousand and five. Let’s make some at Collision Course. And when those history books get cracked open, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure it says Sean Rhodes defeats Phinehas Grimm. See you then.
(The feed then switches to a commercial.)
Most Heated Rivalry
Past winners include: Pegasus & Murdoc; Grimm & Mikey Wryght; NCM & HHW; LoKi, Pegasus, & Lantlas; Grimm/Sadistic & Los Dos Amigos; AWAssholes & PCW Roster
Presenter: Dee Snider as “The Ghost of Heavy Metal”
Nominees: Whitey Ford & Korey Kill; Areas & 'Non-Americans'; Pegasus & Murdoc; Nacho Grande & Justin Kaard; Grimm & Usali Basilisk
After PCW Trauma returned from commercial break, standing center stage at the podium was long-time Iceys guest Dee Snider. Dee was wearing makeup, not that that surprises anyone, but the amount of makeup was absurd- Dee’s entire face was painted white. He was also rocking a pair of designer, “Heavy Metal” shades and an official PCW Heavy Metal T-Shirt.
Dee announced that he was going to give everyone their Christmas wish- he was bringing them Heavy Metal! Except, Heavy Metal was nowhere to be found and for all he knew, Heavy Metal was dead. So instead, he channeled the ghost of Heavy Metal, and he will be rocking out for everyone! Dee then read the nominees, all ghost-like yo, and announced that Nacho Grande and Justin Kaard was the winner of the Most Heated Rivalry award.
“Metal Militia” by Metallica played and onto the stage stepped Nacho Grande, wearing the same thing he wore earlier in the evening, and Justin Kaard, wearing a fine, two-piece suit. Nacho immediately got into the face of Dee and said, “Not cool,” while Justin Kaard kind of laughed and shrugged it off. Nacho then leaned in to receive the award, but Dee instead handed it to Kaard and said he deserved it.
Kaard leaned forward and spoke, claiming there was no rivalry between him and Nacho, just a lot of misunderstanding. The misunderstanding was that Nacho continually underestimated him, made him feel worthless, ridiculed him non-stop, and held him to incredibly high standards. But that didn’t matter, because he (Justin Kaard) proved to the world that he can in-fact match Nacho Grande move for move, which he did at Deadly Intentions 3.
Nacho interrupted by saying that while Justin may be a little misguided, he respected the fact that Justin has seemed to grow a set, and that while they drew at Deadly Intentions, no winner was announced. So how about the two of them raise the stakes again, and at Collision Course, they go at it again…this time in a Pain of Glass Match!
Justin said he didn’t have anything else to prove, but he’ll consider it. Then the two headed off stage, with Justin carrying the award to his seat.
Winner(s): Nacho Grande & Justin Kaard with 50% of the vote
Most Hated
Past winners include: Non Compos Mentis; Jason Willard; Murdoc; Justin Michaels; AWAssholes
Presenter: Daniel Tosh
Nominees: Justin Kaard; Areas; Michael Wryght; Whitey Ford; Scythe
The next award was presented by Comedy Central star Daniel Tosh. Tosh made a couple of jokes that was done in incredibly poor taste, then announced the nominees. After the nominees were announced, Whitey Ford appeared on stage to accept the award, but Tosh named the winner- Areas!
“Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” by Toby Keith played again and Areas, in an undersized tuxedo shirt and a pair of shorts, walks onto the stage. Areas looks at Ford, who is beyond livid, and then chuckles.
Areas walks up to the podium and states, “I don’t know why I am so hated. I am an All-American man. The pinnacle of patriotism. The promoter of the red, white, and blue. Areas shouldn’t be hated. You know what, Whitey…I like your name, boy. White is indeed right. You want this award…you can have it. All I want from you in return is a shot at that little title you got ‘round ya waist. So how about it? If you can survive Anderson, Scythe, and Hughes…you and me, for the International Championship.”
Ford tried to accept the award but Areas pulled it back and said, “Sike! Americans don’t make deals with terrorists! I’m the most hated because I represent America. And everyone hates Americans because we’re better than you all. U-S-A! U-S-A! Merry Christmas everyone! Except you Afghanistan! I hope you all die!”
Whitey Ford, “THE Asshole” that he is, retaliates by kicking Areas in the groin, then walks off the stage with the award while Areas is hunched over. Daniel Tosh made a quick joke about an asshole kicking a penis, and then the feed quickly cut to commercial.
Winner(s): Areas with 47% of the vote
Hall of Fame Presentation
Details: (Following the commercial, the ruckus has calmed down. Standing at the podium is Robert Downey Jr. and Pegasus. Pegasus is in a nice, cream two-piece suit, while Robert is in a pinstriped suit of his own. The two only stare out for a moment before speaking calmly into the camera.)
Robert Downey Jr.: Earlier tonight, Pegasus and I had a bit a fun out here before I presented Grimm the Best Singles Star Award.
Pegasus: But before I was having fun with movie stars, I was having fun with the guy who is about to join me in the PCW Hall of Fame- Brandon Noble...LOKI!
(“Heaven's a Lie” by Lacuna Coil plays throughout the Peace Center for Performing Arts and LoKi walks from behind the stage curtain and onto the stage. LoKi shakes hands with Robert Downey Jr. and shares a hug with Pegasus, then the two men slink off to the background as LoKi rightfully takes center stage. After a wipe of the eye and a sigh, LoKi steps up to the podium to speak.)
LoKi: Thank you, thank you everyone. Wow, this is definitely the culmination of a career right here.
(Brandon pauses.)
LoKi: I guess I've never really been one for long winded speeches but if you'll bear with me I do have a few things to say.
(Brandon clears his throat and looks across the audience.)
LoKi: Again, let me say thank you. It's an honor to be selected to the Hall of Fame, to be inducted into the ranks of the greats who have come before me. Greats like Lantlas, Pegasus, and Heavy Metal.
(LoKi pauses with a grin as an audible Heavy Metal chant breaks out.)
LoKi: I've done a lot of things in my career that I'm proud of. I'm the innovator of the PCW exclusive, Pain of Glass match...
(Brandon pauses again.)
LoKi: ...Well maybe not quite so proud of that one. But I am proud of the accolades that I've won. The North American Championship, the International Championship, and two runs as Pure Class Wrestling's World Champion. I'm also PCW's first and only Triple Crown Champion, but...
(Brandon points to Ace Anderson.)
LoKi: ...That man right there might join me in that role after his next match.
(The crowd laughs again as Ace Anderson turns and jokingly bows to the crowd.)
LoKi: I think the only real accomplishment left is the PCW Tag Team Championship, but unless mass amnesia has struck the crowd, I'm pretty sure everyone remembers that I don't always play so well with others.
For as many things as I've done that I'm proud of, there is one thing that I've done that I am by no means proud of. I turned my back on my friends, on the people who helped me get to where I am today. So at this time, I'd like to invite Lantlas and Nacho Grande to come up here with me.
(Nacho Grande and Lantlas excuse themselves from their seats and make their way to the stage, Nacho looking especially wary. Once on the stage, the two make an odd contrast. Lantlas with his blue hair in stark contrast to the midnight black tuxedo he's wearing and Nacho with his luchador mask, Christmas sweater, and striped long-John's. Brandon offers his hand to both men and smiles when Nacho is the first to shake his hand.)
LoKi: I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without the help from you two. Lantlas, my matches with you were and still are the hardest fought matches I've ever been in. You always found new ways to make me push myself and for that I thank you. Nacho, you were the one who reminded me that wrestling isn't all SRS Bizness. That you can still have fun in this job. I'll never forget that I hope you never do either. So again, thank you both and thank you, the PCW Faithful, for never giving up on me.
(Lantlas shakes hands with LoKi again, and then excuses himself back to his seat, but before Nacho excuses himself, LoKi pulls him back.)
LoKi: No, stay a second, Nacho. I want you to check out my plaque with me.
(Nacho stops in his tracks and looks at LoKi, but when he turns back around, he's hit in the face with LoKi's glass plaque by none other than Justin Kaard! LoKi begins yelling at Kaard, but Kaard just smirks and backpedals. But as he does, he exclaims...)
Justin Kaard: Nacho, by the way...I accept!
(Justin then exits into the back while staff checks on Nacho and LoKi looks on.)
Executive Award
Past winners include: Luis Malave {4x}; Alejandro Walker; Skylar Marshall
Presenter: “The Icemann” Luis Malave
Presented to: “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght
The last award of the evening was presented by “The Icemann” Luis Malave, Majority Owner of Pure Class Wrestling. Luis came out wearing a custom-tailored “PCW Blue” two-piece suit and designer shoes, and made no time walking up to the microphone. But before he could even say a word, “Gold on the Ceiling” by The Black Keys kicked in and Michael Wryght walked onto the stage.
The fans booed him tremendously, but Showtime seemed not to care. Showtime tried to give Luis a handshake, but Luis no-sold the attempt. Showtime sighed, but then started to speak. Showtime thanked, “the fans from all across the World, especially [his] Hollywood fans, for voting [him] the Executive of the Year during this season's Icey Awards.” He went on with, “They knew [he] should have been included in the main event of Collision Course, but getting this award helps the blow.” Showtime then switched gears by stating that as nice as the award was, he wasn't going to be eligible for the award the next season because he had sold his stock.
A loud, “Ooooo,” was heard from the PCW Faithful and Luis immediately looked baffled. Showtime said that he was sick of the corporate bs and that it cost him a good friend in Luis. He then said Luis snubbing him the World Title shot he deserved was the last straw and the deciding factor in his decision. “So without further ado, let [him] welcome the newest stockholder in PCW...
...Skylar Marshall!”
The entire arena erupted with boos at that announcement, and Luis was beyond enraged. Skylar Marshall, with his pulled back ponytail, glasses, and three-piece suit stepped onto the stage and he and Showtime shared a handshake and a quick hug. Skylar let the music kick in for a second before stepping up to the podium and speaking...:
“Guess I'm Back! Luis, you might be the majority owner, but I'm the business expert and a man of influence. So with that said, my first order of business Ice is to let you know that me and the other shareholders think that you've been a bit overworked and are recommending you take a vacation. And no Luis, it isn't negotiable. Security, please escort Mr. Malave off the stage please...”
Pure Class Arena Security, the hired security of all PCW events, came out and “Big” Dave Brandt walked over to Luis and convinced him to leave the stage. Skylar then continued.
“Ah, that felt good. My second order of business is that, since I can't overrule the decision that was made before I signed back on with the company, I can't give Michael the match against Grimm and Rhodes at Collision Course. But what I can do is make it up to him. Mikey, you deserve a World Title match, and I told you that if you sold me your stock, I'd make it happen. Therefore, at Mass Destruction III, you will get a one-on-one match with the PCW World Champion, no matter who it is!
But that still leaves you without a match for Collision Course. No problem. I heard there's this emo pest that's been bothering you the last few weeks. Rick Majors I believe the name is. I'll let you do what you need to do...Rick Majors against “Mr. Showtime” Michael Wryght! I will bring balance back to PCW. I will bring...THE LAW!
(And with that, the feed fades out on this season's Icey Awards.)
