The Dynasty Spectrum
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
May 6 , 2008
The camera pans around the darkened Dynasty Spectrum as the faithful fans roar with pride. We soon cut to the stage area where a strobe light begins to flash as “Anxiety” by Black Eyed Peas featuring Papa Roach begins to sound out as the volume within the Spectrum picks up even more.
I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and b*tch slap somebody
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' in to it (no, no, no)
On the Platinum Tron Joshua Payne is shown during a vicious attack on Timmy D. The scene then melts into a tempting photoshoot done by the Platinum Queen herself, Carliee Williams.
Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I won't lose control bro (no, no, no)
Neon blue lights now dart across the stage while the crowd sings along with the lyrics.
Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain got an ich on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
Several action shots suddenly begin flashing across the scene everywhere from battles in the ring to battles on the streets of the inner city of Philadelphia.
My bloods boiling its beatin' out propane
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane
The strobe light begins to flash faster.
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from Uzis
I've been dealing with something that’s worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and that’s the…
And suddenly blast of pyro goes off and the noise in the arena is deafening as the camera suddenly pans over various signs thrown up throughout the arena.
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The PDW logo flashes across the screen quickly as the cameras cut to ringside.
Standard Match
Inferno vs Steve Marlay
Sammantha Jinx: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his debut here in PDW, he is…STEVE MARLAY!!!
“I don’t wanna stop”” by Ozzy Osbourne hits throughout the arena as Steve Marlay strolls through the curtain. The crowd greet him with cheers, cheers, and more cheers. Steve smirks confidently and slaps hands with the crowd as he wonders down the ramp. Upon reaching the ring, he slides under the bottom rope, jumps to his feet and takes every chance again to pose for the crowd.
Sammantha Jinx: And his opponent. He is none other than the PDW Next Big Thing Champion…INFERNO!!!
The chorus of ‘Ebla’ is heard throughout the arena causing the fans to get up and cheer. The chorus dies out as the lights power down. In the darkness ‘Black Republican’ by Nas begins to play. The lights come back on as Inferno rises from the stage. His eyes remain closed as a pillar of vapor rises up around his body. After several moments pass he opens his eyes and walks down the ramp.
David Wright: And here we are with the first match of the night. Inferno is probably one of our most successful PDW stars at the moment.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah, seeing how he’s already got two title reigns under his belt. Some people have a hard enough time just trying to get the first one.
As Inferno enters, he removes his championship belt and slowly hands it to T.C. . Both men are in the ring and waste no time locking up, but it is Inferno who takes the early lead and throws Marlay into a headlock. Marlay manages to shove Inferno forward, launching him into the ropes. As Marlay kneels over Inferno quickly returns and nails him with a knee right to the face. He then lifts him up and brings him back down with an atomic drop. As Marlay hops around the ring in pain Inferno suddenly surprises him with a dropkick that sends him flying into the corner. His head quickly bounces off the turnbuckle and he falls backwards, right into Inferno’s clutches. As referee T.C. Payne watches, Inferno sets Marlay up for what looks like a vertical suplex but hooks his leg, flipping him over his head for a fisherman’s suplex into a pin.
ONE…
TWO…KICKOUT!
David Wright: Inferno with the fisherman’s suplex. Showing this newbie just why he’s a champion here in PDW and getting the near pinfall.
Reggie Stallworth: He had a nice little part in the exit of Rachel Price not too long ago. You think we’ll ever see her back in PDW?
David Wright: Who knows? There’s been a few people to re-emerge in PDW that we thought we’d never see again.
Reggie Stallworth: True…
Inferno quickly hops to his feet and begins laying the boots to his opponent. He then reaches down and retrieves Marlay, grabbing him by the throat and lifting him to his feet. After a dragonwhip, he nails Marlay with a dropsault, continuing to dominate the match as if it is nothing to him. As the two battle on the fans suddenly erupt. The camera then pans to the top of the stage area where it seems that the redheaded superstar Casey Hutchins has made her presence known. She stands at the top of the ramp, staring into the ring at Inferno as he drags Marlay back to his feet.
Reggie Stallworth: What the hell is she doing out here?
David Wright: I don’t know but let’s hope it’s not a repeat of Rachel Price. She attacked Inferno just before our last Pay Per View.
Reggie Stallworth: And look what good that did her. Bitch ain’t got a job no more!
Inferno doesn’t seem to take much notice of Casey but she continues to stand there and observe him in the ring. As Marlay goes for a clothesline, Inferno ducks and bounces off the opposite ropes. He then flattens Marlay with a lariat as the fans go wild for the NBT Champion. He suddenly slows down, staring down at Marlay for a moment before lifting him up once again. As soon as he signals to the crowd they immediately know what’s about to happen. Inferno hoists Steve Marlay up onto his shoulders and drives him head first straight into the mat!
David Wright: EFFIN ROCKED!!!
Inferno immediately goes for the cover!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Sammantha Jinx: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner…INFERNO!!!
“Black Republican” blasts over the PA system as Inferno climbs to his feet and allows TC to raise his hand in victory. He then lays his eyes on Casey, who stands at the top of the ramp with a smile, clapping for Inferno’s victory just before we fade to commercial.
The backstage area is overflowing with people running back and forth getting everything from the pyro for the entrances ready to ensuring that Star has enough coffee. Amongst all the hyperactivity though one woman sits alone on a crate looking toward the entrance to the building more in hope than expectation. Christy Matthews had been sitting there for hours waiting for her “boss” to arrive, desperately hoping that the rumors of his impending retirement are untrue, desperately hoping that he’ll show up and take on Rachel Stevens tonight to save her from having to risk her own life by stepping in to the ring. As the door to the building swings open the look on her face changes from one of quiet desperation to one of absolute joy as “The Sinner” walks in to the building. She leaps up and rushes over to him, hugging him as tightly as she can.
Christy Matthews: Oh thank god you’re here! Everybody’s saying that you weren’t coming, that you were serious with what you said last week...
Jaxx just looks at her unblinkingly.
Nicholas Jaxx: I am serious babe, I’m done.
She looks in his eyes and sees no humour in them tonight but the look of dejection and defeat.
Christy Matthews: You can’t quit Nick! What about the fans? What about all the opportunities? So you lost a few matches, get stronger because of it don’t give up!
Jaxx just brushes off any encouragement he may have gotten from those remarks.
Nicholas Jaxx: I’m glad you care babe, really I am, but I’ve just had enough. I came back from a broken neck to compete here, you know what that took? You know the fucking hours I put in to get back in to shape? And for what, to be the bitch who puts over the main eventers and makes them look good? To be the guy who they throw in to the ring with the newbies to put them over? Fuck that, the Jaxxster is fucking MAIN EVENT not another fucking curtain jerker, so I’m fucking pulling off the band aid as quickly as possible rather than dragging it out. I’ve got the speech right here...
Jaxx pulls several pieces of paper out of his pocket.
Nicholas Jaxx: Tonight is the night that Nicholas Jaxx retires!
He smiles at her, putting an arm around her shoulder.
Nicholas Jaxx: But if you’re taking my place then I’m cool with that, I mean the Jaxxster taught you everything you know, right? You’ll do great!
And with that Nicholas Jaxx walks off down the hallway leaving a shocked looking Christy Matthews just standing there, no color at all in her face as she realizes probably for the first real time that tonight she’s actually competing and tonight the era of the Jaxxster comes to an end...
Standard Match
Lupus Nebula vs The Tank
Sammantha Jinx: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, coming in at a weight of 320 pounds, he hails all the way from Miami, Florida, he is…THE TANK!!!
"Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva plays out through the P.A. system and The Tank walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing a golden Japanese style jacket, also wearing black shades. He smirks and walks slowly along the ramp looking focused on the ring. As he approaches the ring he stands before it and looks on at it, looking up to the heavens before getting onto the ring apron and climbs into the ring. The Tank removes his Japanese style jacket and hands it to the ring assistant as he climbs up to the top rope to pose for the crowd. He drops down and waits for the match to begin.
David Wright: Troy Trinidad, folks. He was just involved in an epic battle for the PDW Bloodshed Championship.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah, I’d have to agree with that. That was one of the best matches of the night and I got a feeling that we’ll see the Tank up for some sort of shot again in the near future.
David Wright: I have to say though, that is one intimidating looking guy. I’d hate to be in the ring with him.
Sammantha Jinx: And introducing next, coming to us from Sicily, weighing in at 220 pounds…LUPUS NEBULA!!!
"More Human than Human" is heard coming from the speakers, in that same moment there is a total blackout followed by a wolf howl. A small light enlightens the rampway entrance, showing a man covered in a red mantel standing there, looking at the ground. The man starts his walk towards the ring without caring much about the Fan reaction. The Red Mantel is thrown away as soon as the music dies and the man slides in the ring sitting in one of the turnbuckles, staring towards his opponent.
David Wright: Now here’s a promising young athlete.
Reggie Stallworth: Uhhh, maybe He’s kinda strange though.
David Wright: Nah, just a little eccentric.
Reggie Stallworth: Aka…STRANGE!
David Wright: Strange or not though he earned himself the number one contendership to Hannah St. John’s title. So obviously he’s doing something right.
As the bell rings, both men begin seizing one another up before locking up in the center of the ring, but it doesn’t last long before the much larger Tank shoves Lupus back into the ropes. As Lupus sails back he ducks under an attempted clothesline by the Tank and heads for the opposite ropes. He then quickly nails Tank with a springboard dropkick. The Tank goes down quickly but is back up even quicker. As Lupus runs for him the Tank nails him with an armdrag. Lupus soon flips back to his feet and goes for a superkick, but the Tank sidesteps and hits Lupus in the back of the head with a forearm smash. He then wrenches the arm of Lupus behind his back before whipping him right back into the ropes, but as Lupus comes back he quickly surprises his opponent with a Tiger Suplex and goes for the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
The Tank kicks out as quickly as he can and Lupus hops back to his feet.
David Wright: Some good competition going on so far. Lupus with the two count but it’s going to take more than a suplex to get past the Tank.
Reggie Stallworth: Maybe something like a wrecking ball?
David Wright: That might work…
Lupus pulls the Tank back to his feet and whips him into the corner. As he charges at him the Tank suddenly raises his foot and Lupus smashes right into his boot face first, giving the Tank the chance to retrieve him once he goes down. Instead, though, the Tank leaves on him on the canvas where he begins to stomp away at him viciously. Lupus srambles across the ring, looking for some sort of cover but it is of no use. As he pushes himself up on all fours Tank kicks him hard in the stomach. Just then, the Tank grabs him by the hair and yanks him to his feet. He then sets him up for a powerbomb, but in midair Lupus reverses it with a hurricanrana into a pin!
ONE…
TWO…
TH…NO! The Tank kicks out with authority!
David Wright: Oh! And Lupus almost pulled a fast one there!
Reggie Stallworth: Obviously it wasn’t fast enough. And I think it just pissed the Tank off!
Pissed him off indeed. The Tank climbs to his feet just as Lupus does and immediately slaps his hand around his throat. He wrenches Lupus into the air with ease as Lupus tries unsuccessfully to fight him off. Finally, the Tank SLAMS Lupus back down onto the mat so hard that the sound erupts throughout the arena! The Tank wastes no time then laying across Lupus for the cover!
ONE…
TWO…
THR...Lupus barely kicks out!
David Wright: Close one! That chokeslam from the Tank was BRUTAL! It nearly put Lupus through the ring!
The Tank slaps the mat in frustration at the resilience shown by Lupus Nebula. He climbs to his feet slowly, dragging Lupus with him by the hair. He then tosses Lupus into the corner and then unleashes a flurry of martial arts kicks, some that Lupus is able to counter with a few of his own, wearing down the Tank bit by bit in the process. He manages to switch their positions, placing the Tank in the corner instead of himself. He then takes a few steps back and shoots off with a handspring forearm smash to the Tank. The Tank slides down to his feet in the corner. Lupus suddenly grabs what bit of his hair he can and pulls him away from the ring post, leaving him outstretched in the ring. With that taken care of Lupus immediately goes for the ropes, climbing the top turnbuckle until he reaches the top.
Reggie Stallworth: The hell is he up to?
David Wright: Lupus is in his element when up in the air and I think I know what he’s up to right there!
Lupus leaps into the air with a top rope moonsault legdrop!
David Wright: The First Human Disaster!
Reggie Stallworth: Inferno?! WHERE?!
But no…THE TANK ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
David Wright: And Lupus hits nothing but canvas!
Reggie Stallworth: Oh shit! I thought he had it!
Lupus is out cold in the center of the ring as the Tank begins to make his way back to his feet. He picks up Lupus, almost in a ragdoll state and places his arm around his shoulder. The Tank then reaches around to the other shoulder of Lupus and tosses him into the air, slamming him back down on the mat!
David Wright: Tank Slam to Lupus!
The Tank then goes for the cove, hooking the leg!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Sammantha Jinx: And here is your winner…THE TANK!!!
Totally a stranger to the enviroment, that is being inside the Dynasty Spectrum here in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania. Just arriving to the arena shortly, Eric was pretty hyped about the night. Hanging out backstage, getting to know around the facility and the roster. At the moment, he just stood there in the middle of the arena with a black duffelbag hanging on his shoulders as his black and blonde-streaked hair rested on his shoulders.
"Such a long time away from this game .... Feels good to be back ..."
Chatting to himself lowly, his eyes glanced around every part of the section of the arena he was at, looking for some kind of assistance. Finding a place to sit, he quickly went over towards the long chair seat, as he sat down, afar from those who were traveling around for merchandise and such. Eric just sat there, rubbing his chin, happy to be back around the atmosphere of an arena, hyped about getting back into the ring. To Eric, nothing more mattered besides those two things.
A kid, couldn't be much older than nine or ten years old immediately walked up to Eric, with a bright, jubilant smile, as he held within his small hands an old tee-shirt with Eric on the front and back with the words "Dangerous Enigma". Holding it out towards me, he smiled continually. His mother stood a few feet back, watching on.
"Sign this, could you? I am your biggest, hugest fan ..." He said holding up his index finger, noting that I was "number one".
I couldn't help but accept his request, It was who I was. A big 'giver'. Giving back to those who followed my quest and made me successful beyond just the talent. Thousands screaming on in vain for me. Those exhilarating moments are archived within. I could easily tell that this kid didn't know what to do with himself. Outside, he was calmed ... inside, he was jumping around with happiness.
Signing my signature on his shirt, I firmly shook his hand as he skipped along back to his mother. With a nod from her, they walked off. A smile had then spreaded upon my face.
I felt satisfied now.
I feel at home now.
... This is where I belong ...
The scene fades out.
Hardcore Match
Nicholas Jaxx vs. Rachel Stevens
Sammantha Jinx: The following contest is a hardcore match. Introducing first, from Portland, Maine...RACHEL STEVENS!!!
The arena goes dark as a mariachi band can be heard playing, followed almost immediately by an explosion of white, gold and purple pyro. "Misery Business" by Paramore starts up.
"I'm in the business of misery,
let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass
that's tickin like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine
she caught him by the mouth."
Rachel skips out to the stage. She is wearing a black and white halter sports bra, short gold fingerless gloves, a gold thong sticking out of the top of a baggy pair of white UFO silk wind pants, and black and gold ankle-strapped Pumas. Her hair is down and flowing out the bottom of a white and gold luchadora mask, studded with Swarovski crystals.
"I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I can't lie
he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile..."
She raises her fists at the audience, as they stand up and cheer loudly. She makes her way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans along the way. Rachel climbs up onto the ring apron and grabs the top rope, facing away from it. She proceeds to flip backwards over the ropes, followed by a clean back handspring, landing in the center of the ring. She faces the audience and puts her head down, pulling the mask off. Rachel throws her head back quickly, her hair snapping backwards in a bleach-blonde and black wave. As she does this, another explosion of pyro goes off, this time coming from the four ringposts.
"Whoa... I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now"
She throws devil horns in the air with her fists, smiling to the crowd. An eruption of flash photography goes off. Rachel hops up and down, warming up her body for the match ahead.
"But god does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause god it just feels so...
It just feels so good"
Sammantha Jinx: And her opponent, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and weighing 198 pounds he is the EGO KILLER, the MID-CARD FILLER and the PLAYBOY BUNNY THRILLER, this is “THE SINNER” NICHOLAS JAXX! Darkness engulfs the arena and after a few moments the screen flicks to life…
...NICHOLAS JAXX WILL STEAL THE SHOW IN...
...5...
...4...
...3...
...2...
...1...
...NOW!!
I’M BRINGING SEXY BACK (YEAH!!)
THEM OTHER FUCKERS DON’T KNOW HOW TO ACT (YEAH!!)
After the Justin Timberlake intro “Sinner” by Drowning Pool hits the PA system as the crowd begin to cheer wildly but Jaxx never emerges from the entrance ramp. The fans begin to boo wildly as we fade to the backstage area where Star is irate and glaring angrily at a smirking Pete Ebdon and a completely terrified Christy Matthews.
Star: Are you serious? I thought he was joking, I hear this sort of thing ten times a week about guys who aren’t going to show up for their matches and one way or another they always show. Are you seriously telling me that Jaxx isn’t going out there?
Christy Matthews: He said he’s retiring tonight and that he’s done with PDW.
Star: And you want me to replace him in this match with you? This is a little last minute... Ebdon puts his arm around Star who pushes it off immediately.
Pete Ebdon: Ok, so let’s examine your options. Option number one, you call the match off, give Rachel Stevens the win and the fans boo the building down because you screwed them out of a match. Option number two, you put ME in this match and I go out there and kill this poor girl in thirty seconds or less. The fans are still pissed off because one of their heroes just got beat without even getting a shot off. Option number three, you give this match to Christy. Sure she may well lose it in a minute but you give the fans what they want to see. Star looks at Ebdon and shakes her head slowly and bitterly.
Star: You and Jaxx have been NOTHING but trouble since the moment you signed...
Pete Ebdon: I take it that’s a vote for option three. Star storms off as Ebdon smirks. Pete Ebdon: You ready for this babe?
Christy Matthews: I’m fucking terrified!
Pete Ebdon: Don’t worry; you can’t do worse than Nick would have.
We cut back to the ring where Rachel Stevens has been watching all of this unfold on the screens and is less than happy about it. At ringside David Wright and Reggie Stallworth both look at one another as though they’ve just confirmed what they originally thought.
David Wright: Jaxx really is no-showing this match, he wasn’t kidding earlier tonight obviously.
Reggie Stallworth: So? We went from an inter-gender match to a women’s match! This couldn’t be more of an improvement!
The lights dim slightly as the opening to “The Game” by Disturbed blasts across the PA system...
Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do
Now that I have allowed you to beat me
Do you think that we could play another game
Maybe I could win this time
I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darlin' you can trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way
I think that I could kill this time
...N I C H O L A S J A X X T V P R E S E N T S...
...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...
The curtains part and Christy Matthews walks out on to the ramp in a skin-tight blue and white spandex sleeveless-top and shorts combo with knee-length black boots and black elbow-pads and knee-pads. The fans pop for the newbie but the pop turns to boos as Pete Ebdon steps out alongside her shortly joined by Brett Freeman. The trio walk down to the ring and Christy climbs the outside of the ring post, standing on the second rope and striking a very Ebdon-like mock-crucifix pose to a huge grin from him. She drops her arms after a moment and stands there for a moment staring at Rachel Stevens before the referee orders her inside the ring and she nervously climbs down and ducks under the middle rope.
David Wright: I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody so scared on their debut and she’s not even facing male competitor here.
Reggie Stallworth: Well before now Christy Matthews has just been Jaxx’s sidekick; the last few weeks have seen some big changes for her and now this? Maybe she’s just not ready...
David Wright: We’re about to find out because I don’t think it matters to Rachel Stevens whether she’s ready or not!
Rachel Stevens paces the ring as she awaits the match’s start. Christy Matthews looks back across the ring at her, the fear of this match up still somewhat lingering in her eyes.
Reggie Stallworth: She needs to relax.
As Pete and Brett look on from the outside the bell sounds out and the match is underway. Within seconds Rachel Stevens shoots across the ring and nails Christy with a knee to the gut. As she doubles over Rachel floors her with a DDT. Obviously not fully prepared for the attack it takes Christy some time to recover as Rachel leaps to her feet and begins stomping away at her. Christy crawls out of range of Rachel’s foot, right to the edge of the ring where she rolls out to take a breather.
David Wright: And Rachel is on the inexperienced Christy already. She doesn’t seem to be all that confused though.
Reggie Stallworth: Nah, Rachel is on a roll after beating Casey’s ass. I don’t think she even cares who she fights. Just that she fights.
Rachel heads to the edge of the ring as well and leans over the top rope, reaching down for Christy but immediately has a steel chair slams into her head.
David Wright: Good job by Christy with that chair. She still looks like a nervous Nelly though.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah well her boy is acting like a complete dumbass right now. He probably didn’t even bank on this happening and just left his girl out here to fend for herself.
David Wright: She’s got Ebdon.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah, but so? If it wasn’t for Jaxx she wouldn’t even have to be out there. That dude needs to grow some balls, build a bridge over this bullshit and get the hell over it. Life goes on.
David Wright: True, but this is Nicholas Jaxx you’re talking about. He doesn’t seem to have much sense. He’s pretty much just forced his friend into her first match ever.
As Christy’s boyfriend and sidekick cheer her on she reluctantly climbs back into the ring as Rachel writhes on the canvas after the chair shot. Christy looks down at her, pacing the ring a little before finally finding the courage to go after her opponent. She bends down to retrieve Rachel but Rachel suddenly surprises her with a bell clap. Holding both of her ears, Christy stumbles backwards as Rachel flips to her feet. Rachel goes for a scissor kick the Christy narrowly manages to escape just before she dropkicks Rachel to the mat. Rachel quickly recovers, though, and Christy quickly runs to the ropes, springs off, and hits her with a diving forearm. With Rachel laid out, Christy looks around the ring for a moment and goes for the chair once again. She lays the chair across Rachel’s face and immediately heads for the ropes soon after, climbing to the top turnbuckle. As Christy looks to Pete and Brett for support, she leaps into the air with a big, high risk moonsault but Rachel suddenly lifts the chair off of her and holds it up, smashing Christy right on the face!
Reggie Stallworth: Oh! And she was doing so well!
David Wright: You say that like she’s already lost!
Reggie Stallworth: Well, come on now. Let’s face it. Rachel has the experience. This girl doesn’t have shit but a few sparring sessions with Ebdon. Not much else.
David Wright: Have a little faith!
Reggie Stallworth: Nah. I think I’ll pass on that.
As Christy seems nearly paralyzed by pain Rachel wastes no time hopping onto her for the cover just before TC drops to the mat to make the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR…Pete places Christy’s foot on the ropes!
Reggie Stallworth: Damn, I almost forgot she’s got two x factors out there!
David Wright: I didn’t. You had to know this wouldn’t be a fair fight for Rachel.
Rachel pulls up, taking a moment to catch her breath before she hops to her feet. But suddenly, Brett hops onto the apron, clapping his hands loudly and “cheering” for Christy being able to kick out, much to the annoyance of the referee. But Rachel seems totally oblivious as TC goes over to shut Brett up and remove him from the apron. Rachel, with Christy still down, goes for the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle. As she goes for a splash, Ebdon suddenly reaches up and shoves her down, sending Rachel Stevens crashing to the mat! Finally, T.C. manages to get Brett down off the apron and turns back to the two women. Seemingly confused by the turn of events, she watches as Christy regains her composure and rolls Rachel up with a school-girl!
ONE…
TWO…
Rachel kicks out!
Christy doesn’t sulk about not getting the three count. Instead, she gets up and goes to the edge of the ring where Ebdon holds a Singapore cane over the top rope to her. She takes it from him and turns around just as Rachel has begun making her way to her feet. Christy cracks her hard across the back, bringing Rachel to her knees. She then cracks her once again, this time across the skull and Rachel falls over like a ton of bricks. Christy tosses the cane aside and grabs two handfuls of Rachel’s hair, dragging her to her feet. She then executes and picture perfect spinning neckbreaker on her and once again goes for the pin!
ONE…
TWO…
Rachel gets the shoulder up!
David Wright: Christy Matthews is making some serious effort here. She’s doing ok for her first match.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah. Brett, Pete and Christy are doing ok for HER first match!
This time Christy seems visibly frustrated. She climbs to her feet, dragging Rachel with her. She then throws Rachel halfway across the ring with a vicious hairtoss before going for the top rope once again. As Rachel makes her way to her feet Christy enters the air with a diving elbow drop to the young woman, but Rachel once again moves at the last second and Christy hits nothing but canvas! Rachel then yanks Christy up and wraps an arm around her shoulder in reverse position for a vertical suplex, but Christy lands on her feet, dropping Rachel to the mat with the CMT DDT! But instead of going for the cover, Christy just lays there!
Reggie Stallworth: What the hell is she doing?! This is the perfect chance to end this!
David Wright: I think missing that last move took a lot out of her. She’s too weak to do it.
The fans roar with excitement as Christy struggles to make it over to Rachel to cover her, but she can’t. Just then, Rachel Stevens begins to come to, rolling her head to one side to see Christy’s outstretched body. Now she begins to stir and make her way to her feet. But what’s this? Once again, Freeman is up on the apron! It looks as though he is attempting to get into the ring just before the referee goes to stop him. She immediately begins laying into him verbally as he fires back with his own insults, all while Pete Ebdon slyly makes his way into the ring just as Rachel has completely made it to her feet. As Rachel spins around, Ebdon kicks her in the gut and nails her with the Ego Cutter! He then quickly pulls Christy on top of her and heads out of the ring!
Reggie Stallworth: What the hell?! Did you just see that shit?!
David Wright: I sure as hell did!
T.C. Payne shoves Freeman out of the ring and turns back to see Christy covering Rachel! She immediately goes for the count!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!
Sammantha Jinx: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner…CHRISTY MATTHEWS!!!
David Wright: She did it! She did it! Christy Matthews has won her first match!!!
David Wright: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. We just saw an interesting display in the scheduled match between Nicholas Jaxx and Rachel Stevens.
Reggie Stallworth: Interesting? I didn’t even know people was allowed to do stuff like that! You scheduled to fight one person and then a whole ‘nother one comes out.
David Wright: But you have to admit she did pretty damn good for a rookie!
Reggie Stallworth: She did? Damn. I didn’t even notice…
“Flashing Lights” by Kanye West hits the speakers. The entire Dynasty Spectrum comes to life at the sound of the music, immediately knowing what it means. In a matter of seconds fans leap to their feet as PDW’s owner makes her way from behind the black curtain. There is no pause in her stride as she struts down the ramp in her silver Jimmy Choo sandals.
Reggie Stallworth: There she is! The HBIC!!!
David Wright: And she looks positively radiant! I wonder what has her in suck a good mood!
The music continues to blare as Star finally reaches the ring. In her black, silver pinstriped suit, she slowly makes her way up the metal stairs and enters the ring. Star then slowly paces, smiling proudly out at the fans as she clutches a mic in her right fist. She then raises her hand in the air and signals for her music to be cut. Once it does, the noise in the arena can be more than heard. The explosion from the crowd is almost deafening. At last, Star pauses in the center of the ring. She lifts the mic to her lips and begins to speak.
Star: Wow. I guess you’re all happy to see me.
Reggie Stallworth: I know I am!
David Wright: You always are. But of course the fans love her. After all, she is the boss and this is her home town!
Still all smiles, the obviously happy Star continues to walk around the ring.
Star: And I’m happy to see you all too. Madison Square Garden was amazing but you know PDW adores their Philly fans. Always have and always will. This is where are legacy was born and will continue to grow no matter where we had. Philly is the place that made PDW what it is today and I must said that I am damn proud of what PDW has become. There’s no denying the impact that we’ve made on Sports Entertainment. When I said that there was a change coming I meant every word of it. And I guess our dear superstars caught it because they put on a helluva show with “Dishonorably Discharged” and the numbers speak for themselves! And when I say numbers I mean everything! Ratings, cash, attendance. You name it! We brought the house down! We’ve faced a lot of adversity in the past and have proven to be stronger than ever. When the rest of the world didn’t want to give us the respect that we deserved we TOOK it! Despite many saying that PDW wasn’t meant to last we are still here and here is where we’ll remain and I can guarantee you that!
The crowd gives a large pop.
David Wright: She’s right. If PDW wasn’t on the map before it definitely is now!
Reggie Stallworth: Wasn’t on the map? Man everybody knows about PDW! People come from far and WIDE to hate on us! And ever farther to love us! That woman right there knows what that’s all about. She turned bein’ hated on into art! Plus I can tell we doin’ good ‘cause I just got a big ass raise! Holla!
Star: So, ever since that big, wonderful show I’ve been celebrity a long, happy life for PDW. But you know what? I didn’t only come out here to gloat about the wonderful product that I’ve managed to create. No, no. I’ve actually come out here to announce a brand new opportunity for Platinum Dynasty Wrestling’s in-ring talent. Now this, in my opinion, just might be even more precious than the Platinum Championship. Might be. I know it sure as hell cost more but we won’t even get into that right now. Platinum has always been what we’re about. It’s beautiful, it’s valued, it’s desired, it’s above all else…just as we are. And that’s what I’ve presented you all with this platinum opportunity.
David Wright: Platinum opportunity?
Reggie Stallworth: Yo, if it’s a chance to win a date with her, I’m in!
David Wright: I seriously doubt that. And anyway you wouldn’t have a chance even if you did win some sort of competition!
Reggie Stallworth: Man, shut up!
Star: Next week, right in this very ring will signal the start of the very first tournament for PDW’s Platinum Cup! Not only will the winner receive the prestigious Platinum Cup trophy but they will also receive a shot at the title of their choice!
David Wright: Oh man. You know people are gonna go CRAZY for something like that!
Reggie Stallworth: Almost makes me wish I was a wrestler myself.
Star: I know you guys won’t disappoint me and the winner will more than deserve their prize.
As the crowd erupted with cheer, “Flashing Lights” hit the PA system once again as Star began to make her exit.
David Wright: PDW’s Platinum Cup ’08 starts next week folks! Don’t miss it!
The video screen suddenly comes alive with Blake Selters sitting in his office. As usual he was dressed in a custom made silk suit and looked to be going over some PDW papers. A sadistic smile comes across his face as he puts the papers down and looks up while listening to the mixed reaction of the crowd. The smile turns into a bit of a sadistic grin as Blake taps hi s fingers on the desk.
Blake: It has come to my attention that many have not approved of my actions during some of the matches at Dishonorable Discharge. Some feel I should apologize for my actions. Some may even feel that I have targeted some of the wrestlers unfairly…and to that I say only one thing. I most certainly have
The crowd gives a mixed reaction but most boo as Blake simply pauses and waits for them to be quiet. He was uncaring of their boo’s and soon they die down allowing him to continue
Blake: Not a popular decision I see but I could care less what you think. What I did, I did for a reason. It was Dishonorable Discharge. A time to step up and much of PDW did. Others didn’t and we aren’t going to stand for it. Star is busy running the company which means I’m left to make sure the wrestlers of PDW pull their weight and put on the best show possible for you fans because…
Before Blake could finish the fans now begin to cheer at what he said about putting on the best show possible causing him to have to stop once more and wait for their cheers to die down.
Blake So whether its your Joshua Payne, Pete Ebdon’s and guys like that that you seem to hate…
The boos once again drown out anything Blake could say and he just smiles a sinister smirk.
Blake: Personally I admire those men but as I said whether it’s them or guys like Steve Jason and the other so called stand up men and women in PDW.
Once again Blake is interrupted , this time by cheers and looks to be getting a bit annoyed at the fans were interrupting him now.
Blake It’s obvious by you fans cheering that you definitely don’t know what is good for you. Whether you like it or not I’ll continue to keep you fans on your toes and second guessing what will happen next and I will personally continue to keep the wrestlers of PDW on their toes as well for two reasons. One being that never knowing what I will do keeps them performing at the top of their game and two them performing at the top of their game means a better product for you fans. Whether you appreciate it or not. So as far as an apology I will apologize that I didn’t start doing this sooner.
Blake laughs as the video screen goes black.
Special Guest Ref: Dayshia Raye
Aurora Snow vs. Julian Dark
Reggie Stallworth: Now this is a weird ass match up right here. I know Aurora said she wanted to get back into the ring but against one of the top men in PDW to date?
David Wright: It’s actually not so weird. We’ve all seen what’s been going on between them over the past few weeks. Sometimes I can’t tell whether Aurora wants to kick his ass or sleep with him. Especially during the last “Naked Truth” segment. That was crazy.
The camera cuts to Sammantha Jinx in the ring.
Sammantha Jinx: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first. She will be tonight’s guest referee in this match up, from Atlantic City, New Jersey…DAYSHIA RAYE!!!
“Man Eater (The Remix)” by Nelly Furtado featuring little Wayne hits the speakers. The fans, mostly the males in the audience, jump to their feet, howling and cat calling as the beautiful show host makes her way out onto the stage. Dayshia comes out in a short, skintight strapless dress with black and white pin stripes. On her feet are a pair of clear, platform sandals. With one hand on her hip she glances out into the crowd as she begins making her way down the ramp, clearly loving the attention she’s receiving.
Reggie Stallworth: Damn! That’s a fine woman!
David Wright: And man is she tall! Dayshia’s already near six feet! Those heels make her seem like a giant!
Reggie Stallworth: I’m trying to figure out whose idea it was to have her ref this match. Unlike Aurora she doesn’t seem to have much of a problem with Julian. But we all know that she and Aurora are rather close.
David Wright: That is true. Hell, maybe she chose to do this herself as just another way to get into the spotlight. Dayshia has to be one of the biggest glory hogs I’ve ever seen. We all saw how she flipped out several months ago over a photoshoot of Aurora’s that she wasn’t invited to.
Reggie Stallworth: Haha, yeah. I definitely remember that.
Dayshia makes her way down to the ring and takes her sweet time entering, bringing one long leg over the middle rope and teasingly bending over Stacy Keibler style as cameras flash for her.
David Wright: You see what I mean?
Reggie Stallworth: I know you’re not COMPLAINING about that!
Sammantha Jinx: Introducing first, from Eagle Rock, California, he is PDW’s oen Prodigy Champion…JULIAN DARK!!!
The lights in the arena all shut off, except for a green spotlight that rests on the center of the stage. "Tears Don't Fall" by Bullet For My Valentine rips onto the speakers. On the big screen a four leaf clover appears and The Lucky Charm writes itself across the clover in cursive writing. Several blasts of green pyro shoots up from the stage and the clover disappears from the screen, melding into a video of Julian Dark. The smoke from the pyro is so thick that it can't be seen through. However, as it begins to clear, the outline of Julian Dark can be seen. He waits a few minutes, listening to the fans, feeding off the energy they have created. Then he steps out of the smoke and raises his head, locking his sights on the ring. He makes his way down, drawing in the noise of the crowd and a small smile shows through his tough demeanor. He jumps onto the apron, and walks over to the nearest turnbuckle. He climbs onto the second pad from the outside and raises his left arm into the air. Then he steps over the top rope and lands in the ring.
David Wright: Now here’s a man that everyone seems to admire.
Reggie Stallworth: Everyone but the St. John’s that is. They can’t stand him. Especially Joseph.
David Wright: Yeah, well. If St. John plays his cards right he could very well have Julian’s title one of these days.
Reggie Stallworth: Yeah but you know what? I’m thinking this chick he’s about to face wants to get something else from him if you know what I mean!
David Wright: No, Reg. I actually don’t know what you mean?
Reggie Stallworth: Oh come on! This match is gonna be full of love taps! Aurora Snow wants that man’s nuts! Everyone knows this! Get with the program!
Sammantha Jinx: And now, introducing first, we all know her as co-host of The Naked Truth, she is the Queen of Deception…AURORA SNOW!!!
“To be loved” blasts over the PA as fans engage in a mixed reaction. All attention turns towards the entrance area, awaiting Aurora’s arrival. The camera momentarily cuts to both Julian and Dayshia in the ring who looked at one another for a moment before both pairs of eyes focused on the entrance area, waiting for Aurora to show her face. But she doesn’t.
Reggie Stallworth: alright, any second now.
David Wright: Must be some sort of delay.
Her music continues to play…but to no Aurora. Dayshia and Julian look at one another in confusion, but Dayshia’s look soon turns to one of annoyance as places her hands on her hips. She suddenly stomps over to the ring’s edge and demands a mic. Once she is handed one she raises her hands in the air.
Dayshia: Cut this goddamn music right now!
The music suddenly comes to a complete halt and Dayshia lifts her mic once again.
Dayshia: Aurora, if you don’t get your ass out here right now! YOU wanted this match! I said it was a bad idea but you WANTED! Now you get your ass down here and FIGHT!
David Wright: Wow, she sounds a little bit upset.
Reggie Stallworth: She does, doesn’t she?
Dayshia paces the ring a bit as Julian looks on.
Dayshia: Oh, so what’s this? Are you scared, Aurora? Is that it? You think Julian’s gonna kick your ass like…I did that one time? Huh? Is that it?
David Wright: Uh oh. What the hell is she saying?!
Reggie Stallworth: I think she’s just trying to piss her off enough to get her out here. She’ll probably make Aurora made, then she’ll come down here and just as Aurora swings Dayshia’s gonna duck behind Julian and get this thing started!
Dayshia paces a bit more, her eyes never leaving the entrance area, but no one shows. Dayshia’s immediately stops walking and stamps her foot in anger.
Dayshia: Ugh! What the hell is up?! Aurora, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! I MEAN IT!
The fans begin to boo loudly as Dayshia looks on in horror. Booing? With her in the ring? This just can’t be! No longer wanting to deal with it, Dayshia throws her mic onto the floor and exits the ring quickly, leaving Julian standing in the ring alone with no idea of what the hell is going on.
Reggie Stallworth: So wait…does this mean Julian won?
David Wright: I think it does…
David Wright: You know what’s coming up next DW?
Reggie Stallworth: Well all we’ve got left scheduled is the main event, so I’m thinking up next is the official retirement speech from Nicholas Jaxx!
David Wright: I still genuinely can’t believe he’s doing this, I mean ok so we’ve got exactly been that supportive of the kid since his debut here a few weeks ago but I’ll give him some credit now, every time he’s been in that ring he’s given absolutely everything he had, right?
Reggie Stallworth: The Hard 10 Match for the Bloodshed Championship will be on “the best of PDW” DVDs for years to come, I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. And Steve Jason even gave him credit this week but it’s not enough for Jaxx, it’s all or nothing for him and since he couldn’t take it all he’s taking the opposite route. If he doesn’t want to stick around I say good riddance.
Darkness engulfs the arena and after a few moments the screen flicks to life…
...NICHOLAS JAXX WILL STEAL THE SHOW IN...
...5...
...4...
...3...
...2...
...1...
...NOW!!
I’M BRINGING SEXY BACK (YEAH!!)
THEM OTHER FUCKERS DON’T KNOW HOW TO ACT (YEAH!!)
Reggie Stallworth: What’s he waiting for?
David Wright: I have absolutely no idea, it’s been about forty or fifty seconds now and Nicholas Jaxx is nowhere to be seen folks, if he’s making us wait just to announce his retirement then these fans may well turn on him.
Reggie Stallworth: The fans have already turned on him! He’s a QUITTER; he doesn’t deserve these people’s support.
The music fades away and the fans begin booing loudly. The camera pans to the backstage area where we see Kayla Moore rushing out the front door and toward the car park. In the distance we see Nicholas Jaxx climbing in to one of the cars and starting the engine long before Kayla can get to him, backing out of his space and accelerating away. By the time Kayla gets there all she finds is the folded bits of paper on the ground. She picks them up and unfolds them to reveal sheet after sheet just with the words “FUCK YOU PDW” written on them over and over again...
David Wright: ...I don’t even know what to say.
Reggie Stallworth: Ha, you defended him and that’s all he had written out? I say good riddance!
David Wright: We’re sorry about this folks, we were expecting a half-decent send-off for Nicholas Jaxx but it’s more than obvious that losing at Dishonorable Discharge has just caused Nicholas Jaxx to take his ball and go home so lets focus on better things, the main event tonight is the man who effectively retired Nicholas Jaxx, the Bloodshed Champion Steve Jason, going one on one with Pantheon co-founder and new Platinum Champion, Joshua Payne!
Reggie Stallworth: And it’s NEXT!!
We cut backstage where we see Joshua Payne warming up with the PDW Platinum Championship lying just inches from him. The figure casts a shadow down over the Platinum title for a moment and Payne reacts to it, spinning around and expecting an attack but instead just smiling from ear to ear.
Joshua Payne: You scared me bro.
Pete Ebdon: That was the basic idea.
Ebdon picks up the Platinum Championship and admires it for a moment as Payne looks on at him slightly worried before Ebdon drapes it across the shoulder of Payne and slaps the belt.
Pete Ebdon: I’ve been doing a bit of thinking today and I thought I’d come find you to put your worries at ease. I know what you’ve been thinking since the second that we played those fools at Dishonourable Discharge last week and formed the Pantheon because if I were the one wearing the belt right now I’d be thinking the same thing but don’t worry, I promise you that I’m not about to do the clichéd “turn on your stable mate and challenge him for the title” bit because, in all honesty, I’ve been there, done that and own not only one t-shirt but a whole fucking drawer full of them.
Payne just laughs, shining up the title on his shoulder.
Pete Ebdon: And I’ve got your back for as long as you’re the champion but the moment you lose that belt don’t think I won’t do whatever it takes to be the guy challenging for it.
Joshua Payne: I wouldn’t expect anything less.
Pete Ebdon: You ready for tonight?
Joshua Payne: Please, to face Steve Jason? I’ve got this one man.
Ebdon smirks.
Joshua Payne: What?
Pete Ebdon: Nick said the same thing to me before his match and now look at him; he’s throwing the hissy fit to end all hissy fits. Watch your back out there man and if you need me...
Payne laughs and slaps Ebdon on the back.
Joshua Payne: Don’t worry man, I’ve got this. Take it easy back here...
He begins to walk off but abruptly changes his mind.
Joshua Payne: Didn’t you say you had an announcement to make tonight?
Pete Ebdon: I DID, I was going to walk out to that ring at the conclusion of the Cyber Championship match and challenge the winner for next week but guess what? No Cyber Championship Match this week! The title that’s on the line at EVERY SHOW just got a week off because I’m guessing the holder broke a nail. Just as I’ve said before Hannah St. John is a goddamn JOKE of a champion and if whoever books these cards has ANY sense then next week you’ll still be Platinum Champion and I’ll be PDW Cyber Champion.
Joshua Payne: Heh, good look with that.
Payne walks off toward the ring leaving Ebdon alone in the back.
Non-Title Match
Joshua Payne vs. Steve Jason
Sammantha Jinx: Ladies and Gentlemen it’s time for your main event of the evening. Introducing first , standing at 6’3” and weighing in at 240 pounds. He is your PDW Bloodshed Champion…please welcome Steve JASON!!!!!
With the sudden sound of a thunderclap, the heavy guitar introduction to Breaking Benjamin’s “Believe” blasts over the PA system as suddenly a blast of white and blue pyros flares up around the entrance ramp. As the guitar introduction continues, white and blue searchlight beams trigger and begin to wash over the entrance ramp and the general path to the ring. As this happens, a silvery plume of sparkler fire lights up in front of the curtain before Steve Jason strides out of the remnants, clad in his white and blue ringwear boardshorts and a matching silky short-sleeved shirt. He wastes no time striding down the ramp in direct time to the powerful, edgy verse which now booms throughout the arena.
Don’t tread the water
Just stay still
I’ll not be bothered
By you until
I’m picking sides
And pulling the strings
I’m living lies
And shedding skin
I’m open wide
And letting you in
I’m wronging rights
Steve has proceeded to the foot of the ring at this point, eyeing the apron in front of him with intensity. Suddenly, the sung verse becomes an intense, angry chorus as Steve jumps onto the apron in time with the first opening shout, gripping the ropes and flinging his arms back so his shirt flings off his body and into the crowd.
Be-lieve!
I don’t care what you want!
I just want mine!
Shut up!
Smart little bitch!
I don’t need lies!
At this point, Steve has sidestepped along the apron and reached the nearest turnbuckle. With little to no warning, he climbs atop it in time with the continuing chorus, which is now slightly softer than the angrier tune of before.
I don’t care what you want, I just want mine…
Get up!
Force it to fit!
Confined inside!
As the chorus ends and descends into sharp and short guitar blasts, Steve hops down from the turnbuckle and enters the ring itself, assuming a ready-to-fight martial arts stance.
Sammantha Jinx: And his opponent tonight standing at 6’6” and weighing in at 295 pounds. He is your PDW Platinum Champion Joshua PAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The riveting and unmistakable sound of 'Eye of the Devil' by Seether cues up on the arenas sound system as the lights begin to fade. As the dim lighting remains three spotlights slam down over the entrance ramp almost in unison. One after the other the spotlights illuminate the entranceway as a figure appears to vanish through the lights right as they begin to shine. Finally a spot light snaps down on the center of the ring illuminating a large dark figure covered in a large red cloak down on his knees reaching to the heavens.
Reggie Stallworth: What a PPV Caliber man event we have for you tonight. Joshua sits on top of the world and we all know what Steve Jason is capable of even though I don’t like the guy. What’s the deal with being a stand up guy anyway?
David Wright: Steve Jason is a very smart wrestler and you have to admire that. He lets his actions in the ring speak for him
Reggie Stallworth: Well Joshua Payne is our top guy and certified monster. You have to admire that.
The bell rings and Steve goes right after Joshua nailing him with a kick to the midsection. He rocks Joshua with a right hand but Joshua answers right back with a right hand of his own that sends Steve Jason to the mat. Steve nods and gets to his feet as Joshua smiles. They lock up and Joshua forces Steve back in the corner. He nails Steve with a right hand and then goes to whip Steve across the ring. Steve tries to reverse it but gets pulled into a clothesline attempt by Joshua. Steve ducks it, turns Joshua around and takes him over with a belly to belly suplex socking the crowd. Joshua gets back up and Steve nails him in the midsection with a kick and then bounces off the ropes tacking Joshua down with a modified Tornado DDT. Joshua quickly rolls out of the ring as Steve Jason stands in the ring with his eyes focused on Joshua.
David Wright: Steve Jason is definitely not intimidated by Joshua Payne and looks focused.
Reggie Stallworth: He’ll get his shots in but you can’t count Joshua Payne out by any means.
Joshua slides back and goes to lock up with Steve only to nail him with knee to the midsection. He takes Steve over with a belly to belly suplex of his own and then kicks Steve right in the head as he tries to get up.. Joshua pulls Steve up and then whips him into the corner. He charges in after Steve but Steve gets both feet up into Joshua’s face causing him to stumble backwards. Steve quickly goes to the top rope and leaps off going for a missile dropkick but Joshua side steps Steve and he lands hard on the mat on the back of his head. Steve stumbles to his feet and gets caught by Joshua who takes him over with a huge powerslam and then goes for the pin.
One…
Two…
Steve gets shoulder off the mat.
Reggie Stallworth: So far it’s been the power game of Joshua Payne and he has Steve Jason in a world of pain and trouble here?
David Wright: You can’t count out the toughness of Steve Jason here either. Even when he’s down he’s always thinking
Reggie Stallworth: I’m thinking as well. I’m thinking I wouldn’t want to be Steve Jason right now.
Joshua pulls Steve Jason to his feet and nails him with a right hand that knocks him back into the corner. He drives a shoulder into the midsection of Steve and then drags his forehead across the top rope. Steve stumbles away and then drops to his knees in the center of the ring. Joshua backs up and goes to kick Steve in the head again but Steve ducks the kick and trips Joshua before rolling over and quickly locking in the STF. Joshua yells out in pain as Steve cranks the hold more. He drags Steve inching ever so closely to the ropes and finally manages to grab the bottom rope, causing the referee to call for the break. Steve lets go but as Joshua gets to his feet and turns around , he trips Joshua gain and goes right back to the STF once again, this time yanking back on it even harder.
Reggie Stallworth: Steve Jason relentless with the STF.
David Wright: And you would expect nothing less. Joshua Payne is in deep trouble at the moment
Reggie Stallworth:This is more of a wear down move. You aren’t going to beat Joshua Payne with a move like that this early in the match.
Joshua reaches the ropes once again causing the break. Steve gets up quickly and drops a knee to the back of Joshua’s neck. Steve begins nailing repeated knee drops to Joshua’s neck before finally pulling him to his feet. He rocks Joshua with right hand and then kicks Joshua in the midsection before hooking him for a suplex. Joshua grabs Steve around the waist and drives him back into the corner. He goes to bury a shoulder into Steve’s midsection but Steve counters it with a knee to Joshua’s head and then a sharp elbow to the back of Joshua’s head. Joshua stumbles backwards but manages to catch Steve with a elbow as he comes out of the corner. He hooks Steve and goes for a suplex but Steve counters it with a DDT and then floats over into a pin attempt.
One…
Two…
Thre… No Joshua Payne manages to get a shoulder up.
David Wright: The Platinum Champ almost got caught napping there
Reggie Stallworth: What he was doing was being smart, resting until the last possible moment. Don’t you know anything about this sport.
Steve gets up but before Joshua could get up. He locks him in a headlock. Joshua rolls Steve over on his back but only gets a one count. He does it again and gets another one count before getting to his knees. Both wrestler get up and Joshua tries to shove Steve off into the ropes but Steve holds on to Joshua causing Joshua to drop to his knees. Steve cranks the hold but Joshua suddenly grabs Steve picking him up and dropping him across the top rope. A pained expression comes on Steve’s face as both he and Joshua fall to the mat.. Joshua crawls over to Steve and nails him with a series of right hands. He pulls Steve up and then whips him toward the ropes. Steve holds on to the ropes , keeping from running back into the arms of Joshua. He charges going for a diving lariat but Joshua catches him , puts Steve on his shoulders and nails him with a Samoan drop. Joshua goes for a quick pin
One…
Two…
Thre… No Steve just manages to get a shoulder up.
David Wright: Joshua Payne just seems to gain more strength as the match goes on. Steve Jason has got to find a way to keep the big man off his feet.
Reggie Stallworth: Steve seems to gain a little momentum and Joshua just fires right back Can anyone slow this man down?
Joshua pulls Steve up and then tosses him to the arena floor. He looks at the referee before rolling out of the ring himself. Steve tries to get up but Joshua pucks him up and drops him chest first across the guardrail as the referee gets to five . Her rolls Steve back in the ring and then climbs up on the ring apron only to have Steve grab his head and drop him throat first across the top rope. Steve falls to the mat as Joshua drops to the arena floor holding his throat. Joshua quickly tries to climb back up on the ring apron as Steve gets to his feet. Steve runs toward Joshua, leaping over the top rope and takes him down to the concrete with a sunset flip as the crowd begins to chant Holy Shit.. Steve rolls back in the ring as the referee begins to count Joshua out.
David Wright: What a move by Steve Jason, that definitely may be the turning point in this match.
Reggie Stallworth: He should be disqualified for that. Joshua Payne should be declared the winner
David Wright: Yet the match continues Go figure. Never the less Joshua Payne is in danger of being counted out here
Four…
Five…
Six… Joshua manages to pull himself up using the ropes.
Joshua rolls back in the ring and is met by stomps from Steve. Steve pulls Joshua up and nails him with a series of body punches before whipping into the ropes. Steve runs toward the ropes himself and springboards off nailing Joshua with The Shinkansen. Joshua hits the mat hard and holds his midsection but immediately gets to his knees. Steve nails him with a spinning kick to the head and then heads to the top rope. Joshua uses the ropes and pulls himself up. He turns just in time to see Steve leap off going for a molly go round. Joshua catches Steve and turns falling backwards causing Steve to fall across the top rope throat first. Steve stumbles around holding his throat before falling to his knees as Joshua falls back into the corner to catch his breath.
Reggie Stallworth: And just like that our Platinum Champ turns the tables right back into his favor
David Wright: Can he capitalize however as he looks a bit hurt as well. The sunset flip on the floor looks to have done some damage.
Joshua moves in and pulls Steve to his feet. He throws Steve over the top rope but Steve manages to land on the ring apron and nail Joshua in the midsection with shoulder block. Joshua charges again and Steve drops out of the way. Joshua spills out on the arena floor. Steve quickly gets to his feet and leaps off the ring apron with a shooting star press but Joshua manages to catch him in mid air upside down. Joshua turns Steve around and then drops him face first across the ring steps. Steve hits hard and blood starts to pur from his stitches.. Joshua rolls in the ring to break up the count and then roll right back out. He grabs Steve by the hair, pulling him up before slamming him face first into the ring steps once more and rolling him back in the ring. Joshua grabs a chair and tries to get in the ring with it only to have the referee stop him.
Reggie Stallworth: Steve looks to be in a bad way and Joshua can smell blood now. He’s going in or the kill.
David Wright: We all can almost smell the blood as Steve ‘s wounds from the pay per view have been opened up.
Reggie Stallworth: I told you as tough as Steve Jason is Joshua Payne is just that tougher
Joshua slowly climbs up on the ring apron. Suddenly Steve springs to his feet, charges and catches Joshua right in the head with a dropkick. Joshua falloff the ring apron and bounces chest first off the security wall. Steve drops to his hands and knees in the ring. The referee begins the count but Steve stops the count and looks at Joshua who was once again getting to his feet. Steve climbs out on the ring apron and then leaps off catching Joshua and taking him over with a tornado DDT right through through announce table. Both wrestles go down without moving and the referee slides out of the ring to check on both men. Reggie Stallworth: What a move by Steve Jason. It was obviously out of desperation. He knew Joshua Payne was closing in on him.
David Wright: It was definitely a spectacular move but as we have Seen in the past Steve Jason is not above taking chances to win a match
Reggie Stallworth: Well we will now see who the tougher of these two men are because neither is moving and we just lost our announce table damn that Steve Jason
The referee continues to check on both men. Joshua sits up first and reach for Steve but steve rolls out of the way and gets to his knees. As both men struggle to their feet barely able to stand the referee rolls back in the ring to start the count. The referee barely gets a one count before Steve manages to roll back in the ring. He tries to get up but Joshua grabs his legs tripping him down. Joshua drags Steve to the ring post and then yanks Steve’s legs causing him to hit the pole. Steve stumbles to his feet and then falls face first to the mat holding between his legs as Joshua rolls back in the ring. He waits for Steve to get up and then out of nowhere nails Steve with Hit and Run. Steve crashes into the mat hard and Joshua goes for the pin
One…
Two…
Thre…No Steve gets a foot on the ropes.
Reggie Stallworth: That was close. If it had been more in the center of the ring this one may have been history.
David Wright: And we see maybe a bit of frustration setting in as Joshua has to be wondering what it will take to keep Steve Jason down.
Joshua gets to his feet and looks to be circling Steve. Steve slowly starts to get up. He uses the ropes and then turns as Joshua moves in behind him. Joshua goes to lock in the rear naked Choke but Steve drops down out of the way and kicks Joshua right in the face with both feet, knocking Joshua to the mat. Both men slowly get up Joshua is first and grabs Steve around the throat. Steve answers with a kick to the midsection of Joshua and the takes him over out of now where with an overhead belly to belly. Steve rolls over to his feet and grabs Joshua’s leg looking to lock in a sharpshooter. Joshua kicks Steve away but Steve keeps hold of Joshua’s leg and turns him over into a Boston Crab. Joshua begins to yell out in pain as the referee asks him if he wants to give up.
Reggie Stallworth: Where is Steve Jason getting the strength to keep fighting back from
David Wright: It’s call being true athlete. Something you know nothing about but Joshua finds himself in deep trouble at the moment.
Joshua struggles but manages to get to the ropes causing the break. Steve lets go but only for a moment before grabbing Joshua by the legs and pulling him back into the center of the ring. Steve tries for the sharpshooter again but gets kicked away. He goes head first into the corner and falls backwards right into the rear naked choke by Joshua. The referee begins to ask Steve if he wants to give up now as Steve struggles to get to the ropes but Steve only responds with struggling to get to the ropes. Steve manages to roll his legs over he is head pinning Joshua’s shoulders to the mat. The referee counts.
One…
Two…
Joshua quickly lets go and raises a shoulder off the mat.
David Wright: What a tremendous counter by Steve Jason. He almost won it there.
Reggie Stallworth: Stupid move if you ask me. He had to put tremendous pressure on his own neck and that may have taken any strength he had left away.

Steve kicks Joshua in his knee and then bounces off the ropes looking to nail Joshua with another kick to the knee. Joshua catches Steve coming in and nails him with a kick to the midsection.

Sammantha Jinx Here is your winner Steve JASON!!!!!!!!!!!! David Wright: Steve Jason has done it. He’s beaten the Platinum Champ
Reggie Stallworth: And this crowd is going crazy. Joshua Payne is not gonna let something like this go.
Steve Jason struggles to his feet in the middle of the ring to cheers from all around the arena. The whole arena is exploding in support for Jason as he leans against the ropes to support himself...
David Wright: Folks you could well be looking at the next Platinum Champion!!
Reggie Stallworth: He was NUMBER ONE in the monthly top ten last month, he’s still the Bloodshed Champion despite all the competition, he’s picked up some HUGE victories in the past few weeks, Steve Jason is on a roll folks!
David Wright: The truth is there might not be anybody in PDW who can beat hi—HEY!!! WHO THE HELL IS THAT!?
A figure leaps the guard rail armed with a wooden baseball bat and rolls in to the ring behind Jason, swinging the bat so hard that when it connects with the back of Jason’s head not only does it knock him to the mat nearly unconscious but the bat itself actually breaks in two and one half goes flying out in to the crowd. The figure looks at the broken bat for a moment before throwing it to the ring and ripping off the bandana that’s hiding his face from sight...
David Wright: WHAT THE HELL!?!?
Reggie Stallworth: That’s... NICHOLAS JAXX!!!!!
David Wright: I say again, WHAT THE HELL?! We saw this man QUIT earlier tonight, we saw him drive away from the arena and now THIS?!
Jaxx begins to stomp away on Jason in an absolute rage, pushing TC Payne out of the ring when she tries to stop him. He kicks Jason several times in the gut and in the back before rolling from the ring and knocking out the security guard who rushes at him with a vile forearm, searching under the ring for something before pulling out not one item but two...
David Wright: A BARBED WIRE COVERED STEEL CHAIR!!!!!
Reggie Stallworth: And a cloth bag, you can bet we all know what’s inside of there!!
Jaxx rolls back in to the ring and smashes Jason with the chair as he attempts to get to his knees, ripping open his back as the barbed wire slices through him. He then places the chair down in the middle of the ring and raises the bag in to the air, pouring the contents – which is indeed hundreds of thumbtacks – all over the chair and the ring. With a demented look on his face Jaxx begins to stalk Steve Jason as more security begin to head down to the ring. Jaxx ignores them all and whatever it is they’ve got to say, waiting for Jason to get back to his feet before hooking his arms and lifting him in to the air...
David Wright: NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!!! VERTEBREAKER ON THE BARBED WIRE CHAIR!!!!!!!!
Reggie Stallworth: THE JAXX EFFECT!!!!!!
David Wright: OH!! MY!! GOD!! For a guy who QUIT earlier tonight Nicholas Jaxx has just made a HUGE statement!!!
Reggie Stallworth: Oh god, look at Jason!! Thumbtacks sticking out of just about everywhere and I think the barbed wire is caught ON HIS FACE!!!!
“Halo” by Soil hits the PA system as Jaxx is admiring his handiwork and Pete Ebdon begins to walk down toward the ring, pushing the security aside as he slides in to the ring carrying a microphone. He doesn’t raise it to his mouth however but just walks over to Jaxx and pushes him back, pointing down at the body of Steve Jason on the mat. When he speaks the conversation can be just about heard despite the fact the microphone is still down by his side.
Pete Ebdon: What the FUCK are you doing Nick?
Nicholas Jaxx: Making a STATEMENT dude! I’m fucking making a stand here tonight.
Pete Ebdon: Aren’t you meant to have retired?
Nicholas Jaxx: I did dude. The funny guy these people cheered, the fucking comedic guy who swore every other word and insulted competitors mothers... he’s gone! He fucking left the building earlier tonight. What’s left behind is what you see here, the mother fucking KING OF SIN!!
Payne rolls back in to the ring with the Platinum Championship and begins to walk over toward Ebdon but out of nowhere Jaxx delivers a J-KICK on him and knocks him to the mat beside Jason.
David Wright: WHOA!!! J-KICK ON THE CHAMPION!!!!
Reggie Stallworth: Oh god, there’s going to be HELL TO PAY for this...
Jaxx grabs the microphone out of Ebdon’s hand and raises it up, staring at Ebdon in the face as he speaks.
Nicholas Jaxx: Bitches and gentlemen, behold the mother fucking future! Rumors have been flying around ALL FUCKING WEEK that I was done with this company, right? That the Jaxxster was, as it was so nicely put earlier tonight, taking his ball and going home but FUCK YOU ALL, the Jaxxster isn’t going ANYWHERE!!!
Some of the crowd actually still pop for that...
Nicholas Jaxx: Losing to that mother fucker at Dishonorable Discharge opened my eyes bitches and I’m seeing more clearly than I ever have before. See the Jaxxster is done jerking the fucking curtain around here, the Jaxxster is done playing second fiddle to mother fuckers like Joshua Payne and Steve Jason – neither of these glorified bitches can hold a fucking CANDLE to me! You people don’t want to see comedy then that’s just fine, the Jaxxster doesn’t have to be the one who makes people laugh, from this point on the Jaxxster is just the one who TAKES PEOPLE OUT!! So on that note I’ve got a challenge for next week, and since Steve Jason will probably still be pulling thumbtacks out of his ass for the next seven days I’ll take a REMATCH FOR THE BLOODSHED CHAMPIONSHIP at a later date because next week I want a different match: NICHOLAS JAXX VERSUS JOSHUA PAYNE, ONE ON ONE!!
The fans erupt in cheers as Jaxx continues to stare at Ebdon.
Nicholas Jaxx: And after the Jaxxster pins that mother fuckers shoulders to the mat he’s OFFICIALLY announcing his candidacy not only for the Bloodshed Championship but for the PLATINUM CHAMPIONSHIP as well. Fuck Mike Ryba’s rematch, that mother fucker’s forgotten how to even SPEAK! And fuck Steve Jason, I’ll kick his teeth down his throat one by one if it means getting him officially out of my way. But Ebby, dude, you’ve got to make a decision for next week. The “Pantheon” or the ORDER OF CHAOS, time to make a decision bitch!
Jaxx drops the microphone and grabs the Bloodshed Championship and Platinum Championship from the mat, raising both in to the air as the fans go wild and “Sinner” by Drowning Pool blasts around the arena. Jaxx drops both belts on the respective champions and rolls from the ring leaving Ebdon just standing there, shouting back at him “OOC FOR LIFE, REMEMBER?” as he backs up the ramp.
Reggie Stallworth: Was he serious?
David Wright: I don’t believe this folks but... yeah, I think he was! Not only has Jaxx NOT RETIRED here tonight like he promised but he’s just laid out two HUGE CHALLENGES!! He wants a rematch with Steve Jason for the Bloodshed title and... and this one I really can’t believe... he wants JOSHUA PAYNE NEXT WEEK!!! WILL THE JAXXSTER GET HIS WISH?! FIND OUT NEXT TUESDAY!!!!
