Parental Advisory '08 Sells Big
» Posted on September.13.2008
Parental Advisory was advertised as the biggest pay per view in PDW history and it came a long, long way from disappointment. A show that was originally scheduled to have four championship belts on the line actually saw all five championships being contested as during the show Pete Ebdon was stripped of the Prodigy Championship and the scheduled number one contendership match was made in to a championship match where former Prodigy Championship contender Drake Benjamin took on PDW newcomer Joseph “The Za” Zaza, adding to the already scheduled championship matches which saw former Cyber Champion Christy Matthews and Echo Rayne challenge new Cyber Champion Catalina Benjamin, former Next Big Thing Champion Inferno and Giovianni Aries challenge new champion Draven, Julian Dark and Citizen Truth challenge Bloodshed Champion Nicholas Jaxx and Steve Jason and Pete Ebdon face off for the vacant Platinum Championship.
The hype going in to the show was extraordinary and one question was answered early on with the return of Star Deveraux, who’d been absent for the past several weeks dealing with personal issues and leaving the company in the hands of her sister Angelique and the general manager Blake Selters. Star’s return wasn’t unnoticed by the roster, including newcomer El Fantastico who gave our returning owner a lick to the face.
Speaking of newcomers, a debut four way match took place at Parental Advisory between Maria Sky, Anna Moore, Gabe Reno known as The Radical and the man named Rayn which saw Reno and Rayn put on an amazing showing ultimately ending in Rayn capturing the victory. Then, in arguably the single most insane match in PDW history, we got to witness the PDW debut of “The Fantastic One” El Fantastico, who took on the PDW employee with the worst luck in the company in Jack Nation. Nation’s luck officially turned when he gained the pin-fall, but it’s worth the price of the replay just to see how this insane match came to its conclusion. Further debuts were that of Nathan Slade, a former shoot fighter in Japan with a bad reputation coming in. Selters signed him to a contract, but what does Slade have in store for PDW? Only time will tell.

The month of August quickly begins to wrap up as PDW sets out to hit the road once again. This time, we travel to the nation's capital for what has the potential yo be the biggest Pay Per View PD has seen yet. PDW's eight months of 2008 come to a close with the mega-show Parental Advisory. live from DC's Verizon Center. And what an amazing show it is shaping up to be.
The weeks leading up to Parental Advisory have been tumultuous, exciting, eventful and tragic all rolled into one. The lineup is said to be one of the company's best yet, surrounded by drama that has shaped it continuously. There's no telling what will be in store for both fans and superstars alike.
Naturally, the team of Aurora Snow and Dayshia Raye, soon to be Playboy cover girls, will be in the house. Guests for the Naked Truth have been confirmed to be none other than the infamous Pantheon, and that will be one you certainly won't want to miss. And in addition, Aurora and Dayshia have announced that, to keep this show true to its name, there will be a "Playboy Preview" that the boys, girls and all in between will go wild for.

If you believe only one thing about Platinum Dynasty Wrestling’s weekly event “Disclosure” then believe this: this show is not for children, especially after the events of the July 8th edition which may have a lasting effect on the landscape of the company for a long time to come.
The show kicked off with almost a family feel to it as Angelique and Star Deveraux, sisters separated by some very key issues over the future of the company as it stands, confronted one another in the parking lot where Angel set about attempting to sway Star from the dark side. It seemed, however, that Star was not one to be swayed by pretty words. Backstage and two more families were having a coming together of sorts as Christy Matthews, girlfriend to the PDW Prodigy Champion Pete Ebdon and the newest in a long time of associates to the Pantheon, confronted Blake Selters, the PDW General Manager, with his “family” in tow, namely that of Drake Benjamin. Christy came looking for the GM to sign a rather unique contract, the details of which wouldn’t be revealed until a little later, but it seems that for every favour asked of the GM he has to take one of his own in return, modifying the contract for his own rather unique purposes.
Disclosure was about far more than just the ongoing war of the roster however as the second round of the Platinum Cup finally kicked off with four randomly drawn matches, the first of which pitted two of the three remaining females against one another: Aurora Snow vs. Tatiana Gregorovich. And it was the representative of the Royal Cartel who came out with the victory after several near falls, ending her recent run of bad luck. But rumour has it this could have been the final appearance of Aurora Snow in the role of a competitor. Could it be? We’ll keep you updated. Tatiana’s night didn’t end there though as she was almost immediately confronted by Nicholas Jaxx, with his newest sidekick, former teammate Lucas Knight, in tow. Jaxx offered the young Russian some flowers but for the second week in a row she turned him down, leading Aries another associate of the Pantheon to ask the two men if they were sure that she even liked men. Both Jaxx and Knight seemed to be rather excited by the prospect that perhaps she didn’t...
Disclosure 07.01.08

Wrestling fans from the four corners of the globe tuned in this week to witness another action-packed episode of PDW’s Disclosure and of course Disclosure kicked off once again in the same manner that the last few shows have: The Pantheon.
Joshua Payne and Pete Ebdon, accompanied by Christy Matthews, Nicholas Jaxx, Jason Stone and Giovianni Aries, made their way to the ring before the opening music had even finished to get a few things off their minds, most notably the ongoing blood-feud with Steve Jason and his inclusion of the Royal Cartel last week. This week looked setup as a chance to see which of the two budding teams could come off with the most victories as Aries was set to face the Queen of Hearts, Payne set to face Dante Gleason Poole, who defeated Aries last week, and Ebdon and Christy Matthews set to face off against Steve Jason and Rachel Stevens in the main event. The Pantheon, however, had to get the first words in and did so as Payne issued another challenge to Jason to meet him in the ring at any time in any place. Ebdon and Payne revealed they’d settled any possible differences they may have had in the previous weeks but the biggest shock in the opening was that Jason Stone is no longer a member of the Pantheon, Payne dismissed the Apostle after a string of bad losses for the youngster and Ebdon offered his spot to anybody who could prove themselves.
While the Pantheon continued their scheming Talena Baptiste arrived looking for her older sister only to find Dayshia Raye, host of the Naked Truth, proudly debuting her newest project, the Platinum Boys male dancers to please all the female fans in the crowd. With Talena somewhat less than impressed she went off in search of her sister while Tatiana and Aries met in the ring. After a gruelling match which featured the antics of Nicholas Jaxx somewhat on the outside, it was Aries who pulled out the victory and no sooner had the bell rung than Jaxx made Tatiana an offer she could easily refuse: he offered her a wad of cash to sleep with him in the middle of the ring. What will Tatiana’s reaction be to this in the coming weeks? Find out this week on Disclosure!
Meanwhile Talena’s search for her sister resulted instead in coming across the last man to see her, the Clown Prince of PDW, The Joker. She seemed less than impressed by Joker however and soon instigated a brawl between Joker and another PDW rising star, Draven. As the two brawled however Talena just walked away, happy to have set the wheels of mischief in motion and claiming to Dayshia that she had nothing to do with any of it. The brawl may have ended in the back but it had major repucussions for the ring as Joker took on PDW’s Next Big Thing Champion Inferno in another close-fought contest. Just as Joker was closing in on the victory however he was laid out by Draven, allowing Inferno the time to recover and pick up the win. While there’s a showdown on the cards between Draven and Inferno in their future it seems the more immediate concern is Draven and Joker! The Joker is reportedly unhappy about the ending to his match, what will come of this latest twist in the rising stars tale?
Backstage again and Drake Benjamin was getting in to all kinds of mischief. First it was a talk with Christy Matthews, who was debating whether or not to accept the invitation she was offered earlier in the night to join the Apostles of the Pantheon, and then just moments later after the second match we saw Benjamin again, this time seemingly hanging Troy “The Tank” Trinidad from the ceiling! The two were set to square off in just a few moments time and when they did the Tank came after Benjamin with everything he had but it wasn’t to be. A combination of outside interference on the part of Catalina Benjamin and the quick speed and deceptive strength of Drake saw him pick up another win in PDW and add another loss to the mounting pile experienced by the Tank. Will Troy Trinidad be able to dust himself off yet again or is this the end of the road for the Tank?
Backstage once again and the Pantheon were in the spotlight again, with a surprisingly twist. Christy Matthews, the woman who up until this point in her run in PDW has seemed like the terrified victim actually stood up to the man who attempted to put her in to that role a few weeks ago in Platinum Champion Joshua Payne, laying down the ground-rules for her own acceptance in to the Pantheon. It seemed that the Champ saw something he liked in her after all. And speaking of champions, the reigning PDW Cyber Champion was on a mission to reclaim her stolen championship from the Kingpin, her number one contender in the next match. In a quite incredible match that saw both competitors left bloodied and broken it was Hannah St. John who somehow pulled off what some might say was the upset and managed to retain her Cyber Championship, but at what cost? Recent matches have taken it out of the champion; whoever is waiting on the horizon in the Cyber Championship scene could see themselves with a huge opportunity.
It was General Manager Blake Selters in the spotlight next, first offering Bloodshed Champion Nicholas Jaxx a most unusual prize money for ratings. It seems that the Bloodshed Championship match from last week drew high numbers and featured some very offensive material which Jaxx was forced to apologise for this week. Selters, however, wanted to give the fans more of what they wanted and offered Jaxx additional money to supplement his income which in recent weeks we’ve heard he’s less than satisfied with if he’ll draw more figures like he did at the last show. Continuing his spree of giving the fans what they wanted Selters interrupted the match between Payne and Poole, making it a Steel Cell match instead. Inside the cage both men beat the hell out of one another but it was the Platinum Champion who came off with the victory thanks to a small assist from the ring ropes leaving the Pantheon 2 and 0 against the Cartel.
Before the main event two big surprises were in store though, first in the form of a meeting between Catalina Benjamin and Steve Jason. Could it be that the Benjamin’s have finally decided to pick a side in the war building in the PDW locker room? We hope to bring you the answers very soon. But before that an even bigger shock: former PDW Platinum Champion, and the man who Joshua Payne defeated two months ago to claim the gold, MIKE RYBA is ready for his return. He’s promised Payne a surprise is in store for him next week. What does the former champion have in mind? One thing’s for sure, every person in the Dynasty Spectrum and every fan watching at home will be on the edge of their seats waiting to find out!
Finally the main event came about, with the Pantheon team of Pete Ebdon and Christy Matthews taking on Steve Jason and Rachel Stevens, whom Christy has had a lot of success against so far in her PDW run. The match went back and forth many times with Christy Matthews firstly refusing to even lay a hand on Steve Jason but, when Ebdon was in trouble, changing her mind and paying the price in the form of several big moves from Jason. The end result however was once again inspired by Christy, who got herself in between Jason and Ebdon distracting the former and allowing the latter to capitalise, laying out Jason before driving Rachel in to the mat for Christy to pick up the pin. The story wasn’t done there however as Christy Matthews got on the microphone in an attempt to save Steve Jason from another Pantheon beatdown. When he refused to walk away however even she turned on him, laying him out and allowing the Pantheon to decimate him and hang him from a cross in the parking lot. Ebdon claimed that all attempted saviours eventually get crucified. With Jason down, but by no means out, and now unsure of who he can trust what can POSSIBLY happen next? Find out next week.
To end the show however Angelique Deveraux, in her role as the “boss” when her sister Star isn’t in the building, came to the ring with a promise to the world: if the Pantheon want to try to run the show then she’ll give them all the airtime they can handle. She laid out the challenge to every Pantheon member to run the proverbial gauntlet at PDW’s next pay per view event SPEAK NO EVIL in just a few weeks. What does the Directorix have in mind? We’ll find out this week on Disclosure I can almost guarantee.
And with another action packed card for next week you WILL NOT want to miss Disclosure folks, LIVE on Tuesday night from the Dynasty Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All the biggest names will be on hand as PDW cruises toward Speak No Evil but the biggest question of all is what can possibly happen next? Tune in LIVE to find out...
Disclosure 06.17.08
» Posted on June.27.2008
On June 17th PDW presented another action-packed edition of Disclosure, and once again showed it leads the way in the professional wrestling world.
With only six matches announced for the show and many of the top stars being given the week off it seemed for all intents and purposes as though PDW was slowing down but the truth was that they’re still only just getting warmed up. The show was kicked off by PDW General Manager Blake Selters answering the controversy of last week’s scrapping of the tag team championship match, informing the winners of the match, Pete Ebdon and Joshua Payne, that if they wanted to ever call themselves PDW World Tag Team Champions they’d have to do more than just beat two rookies.
Speaking of the Pantheon, last week saw some rather odd situations involving the stable that currently dominate the title scene in PDW, namely that of PDW Prodigy Champion Pete Ebdon attempting to call a cease-fire with those who seemingly hate the Pantheon the most. First he confronted Steve Jason in the back and offered him a shot at any belt that the Pantheon held if he’d call off the war, but Jason refused. Next Ebdon confronted Aurora Snow before her match with Pantheon lackey Jason Stone, and she refused the same offer. It seems that the roster in general want the war with the Pantheon to go ahead. Payne however didn’t seem overly thrilled by his tag team partner’s actions, demanding an explanation later in the show. It seems while the Pantheon may be on the same page and may have the same ending, what happens between now and the ending appears very different in their respective books. Ebdon demanded Payne leave the planning to him, but before long Payne was out in the ring ordering Jason to make his way out. Jason happily obliged, sneak-attacking Payne and then having his paid associates, the Royal Cartel, lay out Jaxx and Stone before an all-out war broke out between the Pantheon and their newest associate, Giovianni Aries, and Jason and the Cartel. Selters ended that dispute however when he promised the two sides every opportunity to rip one another apart before Drake and Catalina Benjamin cleared the ring by dropping Tarantulas on the gathered groups. It seems that the war, however, has only just begun...
Elsewhere and the night of debuts went well for Dante Gleason Poole of the Royal Cartel who picked up a hard-fought victory over Giovianni Aries while Joker defeated The Real Speed to confirm not only his place on the roster but potentially a bright future for PDW’s Clown Prince. Drake and Catalina Benjamin also debuted in tag team action against two more members of the Royal Cartel and left the ring with the victory in the most controversial of circumstances, tricking the Cartel in to getting themselves disqualified. Revenge from last week was in the air when Aurora Snow faced Jason Stone in an ambulance match and got the win after a brutal beating of Stone, who’s now lost three weeks in a row. What does Stone’s future hold?
The King of the Upsets also saw action as Draven, who last week defeated PDW Next Big Thing Champion Inferno, took on Pantheon member and PDW Prodigy Champion Pete Ebdon. Ebdon was able to pull out the victory but the match wasn’t without controversy of its own as it appeared that Christy Matthews had put Ebdon’s foot on the ropes just when Draven was about to score the win. After dealing with Christy however Draven fell victim to Ebdon, who left with his undefeated streak intact and yet another enemy added to the list of those already gunning for Pantheon blood. In the main event Nicholas Jaxx defended the PDW Bloodshed Championship against Troy Trinidad in a Light Tube match that eventually spilled out in to a brawl all around the arena. At one point in the back Jaxx actually set a shirt that he’d wrapped around Trinidad’s head on fire, but the referee was able to douse the flames before any damage was done. It was Jaxx who came out with the win however after two brutal shots to the head of Trinidad, including a 720 Knee Drop off a ladder to score the pin-fall.
The road to Speak No Evil gets shorter this week as PDW once again presents another action-packed Disclosure. Scheduled for matches this week are PDW Platinum Champion Joshua Payne, taking on Royal Cartel member Dante Gleason Poole, and the newest associate of the Pantheon, Giovianni Aries, looking to avenge his loss last week to the Cartel against Tatiana. Inferno looks to get back on the winning way as he takes on Joker and Troy Trinidad will be gunning to put last week behind him in a match with Drake Benjamin. The Cyber title will be defended as Hannah St. John looks to reclaim the belt from the man who stole it from her, The Kingpin. And in the main event the controversial team of Pete Ebdon and Christy Matthews take on Rachel Stevens and Steve Jason in a match with so many implications for the future, especially when you consider the budding friendship between Matthews and Jason.
What else will happen? Will there be more shots fired in the Pantheon’s war with PDW? With Star Deveraux’s return after her absence last week what will she have to say about the events of last week? And what matches will be set for Speak No Evil? Find out on Disclosure, live on Tuesday night from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
