(The show opens up with the theme song for the show, “Hail To The King” by Avenged Sevenfold, blast over through the arena, pumping up the crowd.)
Roy Hardy: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in tonight! To all you returning viewers, I say welcome back! And to some new viewers, I say it’s good to have you! My name is Roy Hardy and my partner here at the broadcast table is Jesse Watson!
Jesse Watson: Well, you’re MY partner, but that’s besides the point.
Roy Hardy: What do you mean by that?
Jesse Watson: We all know that, when it comes to this broadcast booth, I’m the Batman of the team and you’re the Robin.
Roy Hardy: Wow, if you’re Batman, than that poor guy has REALLY fallen from prominence.
Jesse Watson: And just what is THAT supposed to mean?!
Roy Hardy: Nevermind. Folks, we know you didn’t tune in to hear us talk-
Jesse Watson: Maybe not you but they sure tuned in to hear me!
Roy Hardy: …. As I was saying, you didn’t tune in to hear us talk, you tuned in to see some action that only PWP can promise! So lets not waste any time in getting into this special, one night only tag team invitational tournament!
Round 1 Match
Laura Phoenix & Michael O’Neil vs. Ashton Styles & Darren MaddoxRandall Jobbs: The following contest is a first round match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first …
(Darren Maddox’s music starts, he comes out onto the stage and looks out at the crowd with a serious look at first, then he starts to grin a bit and makes his way to the ring.)
Randall Jobbs: From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 220 pounds … Representing WXW … Darren Maddox!
(He gets up on the apron and climbs through the ropes and stands in the ring awaiting his partner and opponent.)
Randall Jobbs: And his partner …
(The song Im'Mortal by Skinny Puppy starts to blast through out the PA system. Suddenly the fans look up to the top of the ramp to see the blonde bombshell known as Ashton Styles standing on top of the ramp with a devilish but beautiful smile on her face.)
Randall Jobbs: Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 135 pounds … Ashton Styles!
(She walks past the fans even flip them off with her hands. She gets inside of the ring & does a arm extension & look beautiful at doing that.)
Randall Jobbs: And their opponents ….
(“Welcome to the Family” by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play and Michael O’Neil makes his way out.)
Randall Jobbs: Introducing first, from Osaka, Japan by way of New York City, New York, weighing in at 236 pounds .. Representing PWSi … Michael O’Neil!
(He slaps hands with a few of the fans before getting in the ring and taking the opposite side that Ashton and Darren are on.)
Randall Robbs: And his partner …
(Static fills the speakers as the A-Flat cord streams through and Rev Theory’s “Hell Yeah” begins to blare as the hypnotic laugh of Rich Luzzi echoes throughout the arena. When the chorus plays the lights raise and Phoenix runs out on stage to the delight of the fans.)
Randall Jobbs: From New York City, New York, weighing in at 147 pounds … Representing PWSi … Laura Phoenix!
(She runs to the opposite side of the stage before stopping at the center and raising her fist high in the air and a large amount of pyro goes off around her. She takes off down the ramp and slides into the ring and running to the closest corner and once again raises her fist high in the air. She repeats this at the other three corners as her music dies out and she stands in the middle of the ring.)
Roy Hardy: It’s time for our first match of the tournament, folks!
Jesse Watson: This is going to be great!
(The match starts off with Laura Phoenix and Ashton Styles in the ring. The circle around one another a bit before locking up in the center of the ring. Ashton quickly stomps on the foot of Phoenix and then grabs her in a side headlock.)
Roy Hardy: Certainly a questionable tactic there by Styles to gain the upper hand.
Jesse Watson: Are you kidding me? There’s major bragging rights on the line here tonight. These teams want the right to say that they were able to outlast 7 other teams, to prove just how damn good they really are.
Roy Hardy: I know that. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t have gone about it that way.
Jesse Watson: Well you’re a failure so …
Roy Hardy: Gee, thanks.
Jesse Watson: What are friends for.
(Styles pulls Laura to her corner and Maddox slaps Ashton’s shoulder, making the tag in. He delivers a stiff punch to the ribs, before grabbing Laura in a side headlock of his own and pulling her away from the corner. Laura shoots Maddox off into the ropes and as Maddox comes off of the ropes, Laura takes him down with a shoulder tackle. As he gets to his feet, Laura sends him into her corner. She goes over and tags Michael into the match. The two of them grab Maddox and send him off into the ropes. The go for a double clothesline but Maddox ducks under it and delivers a hard kick to the ribs of Laura, sending her out of the ring. Maddox turns around and gets a knife edge chop from Michael. Michael attempts to send him into the corner but Maddox reverses it. Michael charges into the corner but Maddox steps out and catches him with drop toe hold, sending him face first into 2nd turnbuckle.)
Roy Hardy: Great counter there by Darren Maddox.
Jesse Watson: Yeah, from the small sample we’ve seen of him in the early going, I’ve been impressed.
Roy Hardy: You just have to question though, how well can he truly fare in this tournament, with a partner he doesn’t even know?
Jesse Watson: I guess we’ll see.
(Michael staggers out of the corner, holding onto his mouth and Darren grabs him and drives him into the mat with a back suplex. Darren goes over and makes the tag but goes back over to Michael, as Ashton ascends to the top rope. Darren lifts Michael up and then plants him with a sit out scoop slam. Ashton follows it up with a diving splash from the top rope. She hooks a leg …)

(Laura gets in and delivers a boot to the back of the head of Ashton, breaking the count.)
Roy Hardy: Well, thus far, it looks like there’s no real problems between Ahston and Darren. I have to say, I’m a bit surprised seeing as they’re both have a bit of an ego.
Jesse Watson: That just means the drive to win is going to be that much more intense.
(Ashton doesn’t waste any time though, getting Michael to his feet but promptly sending him back to the mat with a snap suplex. She quickly goes for another pin attempt ..)
1...

Kickout!
(Styles grabs Michael by the head, pulling him to her corner and tags in Maddox. Ashton lifts up Michael’s arm, and Darren delivers a kick to the exposed ribs. He then delivers a spin kick to the stomach, sending Michael down to knees, clutching at his ribs. Darren gets Michael to his feet and sends him into the ropes. As he comes off of them, Darren leans forward to hit a back drop but Michael stops short and delivers a boot to the mouth. He follows it up with a spinning backhand, staggering Darren around. Michael grabs him from behind, going for a German suplex but Darren blocks it, connecting with several elbows to the mouth.)
Roy Hardy: Michael O’Neal looked like he was about to get back into this thing but Darren cut him right off.
Jesse Watson: Darren and Ashton have done a great job keeping Michael out of this match.
Roy Hardy: Michael and Laura very well could be in trouble if this keeps up.
(Michael staggers over to the ropes, using them to keep him up. Darren runs at him but Michael side steps him, pulling the top rope down and Darren goes over it but lands on the ring apron. Unfortunately for him, he landed next to Laura and Phoenix drills him with a STO on the ring apron.)
Roy Hardy: STO on the ring apron!
Jesse Watson: I can honestly say that I don’t recall seeing that before!
Roy Hardy: Just like that, the O’Neal siblings may have found their way back into this match!
Jesse Watson: Normally I’d be all over that because Laura isn’t the legal person but that was pretty cool!
(While Maddox is laying on the ring apron, Michael hit’s the ropes and launches himself over the top rope, landing a senton onto Darren while he’s still on the apron.)
Roy Hardy: Again! Some more innovative offense by The O’Neals!
(Michael rolls Darren into the ring and then gets back in, himself. He tags Laura into the match and then grabs Maddox into a Camel Clutch submission. Laura hit’s the ropes and then connects with a low dropkick to the face of Maddox. Michael releases the hold, going to his corner, as Laura makes the pin ..)

(Ashton rushes into the ring and delivers an ax handle to the back of Laura’s head to break the pin attempt.)
Roy Hardy: Ashton Styles, breaking up the pin and keeping the match alive.
Jesse Watson: Man, the action in this match has been wild!
Roy Hardy: It sure has. These two teams are looking to set the bar for the rest of the teams going forward.
(Laura gets Maddox up and sends him into her corner. She lands a chop to the chest and Darren comes back with one of his own. She nails him with another one before tagging Michael into the match. Laura takes Darren down with a snapmere and when Michael gets in, he delivers a kick to the spine. Michael pushes him down and makes a pin …)
1...
2...
Kickout!
Roy Hardy: And it seems like Laura and Michael have found a way to get back into this match. They’re doing what Ashton and Darren were doing earlier and keeping one of the opponents cut off from their partner.
Jesse Watson: And it goes right back to Laura getting involved when she wasn’t legally in the match. See Roy, you may not like it when people don’t exactly follow the rules but if it wasn’t for Laura taking initiative to get her team back into the match, it could have been over for them a few minutes ago.
(Michael sits Darren up, drives his knee into his back and cranks back on his head, with a chin lock. He keeps it locked in for a while and when it’s apparent he’s not going to quit, he breaks the hold and then drives his knee into the back of Darren several times before tagging Laura back into the match.)
Roy Hardy: This is a good strategy by Michael and Laura, doing frequent tags, keeping each other fresh.
(Laura gets in, grabs Darren and slams his face into the top turnbuckle. She lays into him with a chop and then sends him into the opposite corner. She goes charging at Maddox but Darren gets a boot up into her face, stopping her. Darren jumps up on the 2nd rope and as Laura turns around, he leaps off and connects with a tornado DDT.)
Jesse Watson: Great move by Darren Maddox!
Roy Hardy: But can he capitalize is the question!
(Both competitors are down for several seconds before starting to struggle to their feet. Darren makes the tag to Ashton and Laura tags in Michael. Michael leaps up to the top rope and as Ashton charges into the ring, Michael leaps off and lands a missile dropkick. He goes for a pin ..)
1...

(Darren pulls Michael off. He then lifts him up and drills him with a brain buster. This allows Ashton to get up but at this point, Laura gets into the match and delivers a side kick to the stomach, and then follows it up with a quick DDT. As Laura gets up, Ashton nails her with a slap to the face. Laura comes back with a chop but Ashton delivers a quick kick to the side of the knee. Ashton goes to hit the ropes but Laura follows right behind her and as Ashton turns around, she’s met with a forearm to the mouth. Laura goes into the opposite ropes but Ashton, too, follows right behind her and as Laura hit’s the ropes, Ashton connects with a forearm of her own. Ashton bounces off into the ropes and Laura comes to the center of the ring, going for a clothesline but Ashton ducks under it, going behind Laura and then planting her with a release German suplex, leaving all 4 competitors down.)
Roy Hardy: All hell is breaking loose!
Jesse Watson: I don’t even remember who the legal competitors are!
Roy Hardy: I believe it’s Ashton and Michael but don’t quote me on it!
(Michael O’Neal and Ashton Styles are the first two to their feet and they begin to exchange forearm shots with each other. Ashton breaks it up, connecting with a Mongolian chop, sending Michael staggering back a few steps into the corner. Ashton lifts Michael up, straddling him on the top rope. Ashton climbs up to the second rope. Michael fights back, landing several shots and then shoving Ashton off the ropes and to the mat. Darren scrambles to his feet and comes up behind Ashton but Laura then comes up from behind Darren and grabs him in a full nelson. Michael jumps off, catching Darren with a double knee face breaker, while also landing on Ashton with a senton. As Darren pops up from the face breaker, Laura hits him with a full nelson suplex.)
Roy Hardy: What a combination by The O’Neals! I think they’ve got this match now!
Jesse Watson: We have seen some truly innovative wrestling here in this match! This is great!
(Michael goes for the pin …)

NO!!! KICKOUT AT 2 ½!!!
Roy Hardy: Wow! Are you kidding me!?
Jesse Watson: The matches continues!
(On one side of the ring, Ashton begins to get back to her feet, while on the other side, Michael gets back to his. Michael goes charging at Ashton and lands a stiff boot to the side of the head, staggering Ashton back against the ropes. Michael brings her out and sends her off into the ropes. He swings at her but she ducks under it, grabs him in a reverses DDT position but instead brings him down so that the back of his neck and head come down across her knee. She holds him there and just then, Laura comes charging with a clothesline but she ducks the arm, grabs Laura and falls backwards, hitting Laura and Michael with a combination of a flatliner to Laura and an inverted DDT to Michael.)
Roy Hardy: What a combination by Ashton Styles! Will it be enough, though!?
(Ashton goes for the pin …)

Kickout at 2 ½!!
Jesse Watson: Michael kicked out! Incredible!
(Ashton gets Michael to his feet and Darren comes out of nowhere, drilling him with a super kick. As Michael is standing there groggy from the kick, Ashton connects with the “ASO.” Ashton goes for the pin …)

(Laura tries to break the count but Darren cuts her off …)

Roy Hardy: And that’s it!
Randall Jobbs: Your winners, via pinfall at the 10:54 mark of the match, Ashton Styles and Darren Maddox!Jesse Watson: After some intense back and forth battling, we have a winner!
Roy Hardy: We sure do and in my book, I’d call this one a slight upset! Laura Phoenix is a multiple time Heavyweight Champion and she’s held numerous others as well! I don’t think anyone expected to see her team bounced out of the tournament so early!
Jesse Watson: I think that’s what drove Ashton Styles and Darren Maddox to go as hard as they did! They knew that people were counting them out of this match, going in and they wanted to prove everybody wrong! They wanted to show that they were a team to be reckoned with, despite not having the team chemistry that most of the teams in this tournament have!
Roy Hardy: I may have to agree with you there. They showed so much heart and determination throughout this match and it paid off. Not to say that Laura and Michael didn’t show the heart and determination either but there was just a level of intensity from Ashton and Darren, from the opening bell, that the O’Neals just didn’t seem to match. But regardless, what a hell of a match and a way to kick things off here for PWP 2!

Round 1 Match
Maple Leaf Muscle vs. Chaos ProjectRandall Jobbs: The following contest is a first round match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first …
(The arena goes completely dark, AFI blares throughout the arena, and Chris Edwards and JaX stands on top of the stage entrance way to a round of boos.)
Randall Jobbs: At a combined weight of over 700 pounds … They represent PWSi … Chris Edwards and JaX … The Chaos Project!
(He even embraces the booing, he pushes them to boo. He walks down the ramp of the stage with his nose up in the air because he knows he’s better than the city he’s in. JaX is by his side doing the same thing, they are following Dr. Benoit all the way into the ring.)
Randall Jobbs: And their opponents …
(The music begins and the lights strobe red and white. The song continues it’s melody, until a picks up a bit, a guitar in the background is heard. Dougy and Brent step out from the back. Dougy strutting out from the back in a sparkly red robe that reads “MLM” on the back in white sparkles, behind Brent who holds his arms up, wearing a warm-up jacket with the Canadian Maple Leaf on the back and “MLM” on the front, on the right of the jacket.)
Randall Jobbs: From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, at a combined weight of 479 pounds … Dougy & Brent Armstrong … Maple Leaf Muscle!
(Brent looks around at the crowd with a serious expression, whilst Dougy continues to strut down, playing with the ruffles on the corners of his robe. Brent walks to the left and climbs up the steel steps. He whips his head back, and then climbs the turnbuckle, he holds his arms out, staring at the camera. Meanwhile, Dougy rolls up onto the apron, using the ropes to get up and looking at the crowd before stepping through the ropes and dropping to his knees, hanging on the second rope. Brent leaps down and comes down towards Dougy. He stands on the middle and bottom rope and holds his right arm up as red and white pyro shoots up from the posts. They then stop and take off their entrance attire, getting ready for their match.)
Roy Hardy: We’re about to begin the 2nd match of the night, folks. And the winner of this match will be taking on the winner of the match right before this, the team of Ashton Styles and Darren Maddox.
(The ring bell sounds and the match starts out with Brent and JaX in the ring. Brent circles JaX, cautiously, looking the big man all over.)
Roy Hardy: If this isn’t a mismatch, I don’t know what is.
Jesse Watson: I do not envy Maple Leaf Muscle, that’s for sure.
(The two men lock up and JaX shoves Brent half way across the ring, sending him stumbling up to his feet and into the corner.)
Roy Hardy: Not quite sure he’ll be trying that again.
Jesse Watson: Not if he’s smart. Which, he’s from Canada so …
Roy Hardy: Offending our Canadian audience. Nice.
(JaX charges in at Brent but Brent moves in time and JaX almost goes crashing into the corner but he stops himself. He slowly turns around to look at Brent who is now on the other side of the ring trying to plan his next move. JaX slowly starts to come towards Brent, almost stalkingly, trying to trap him in the corner. Brent tries to make a run for it but JaX grabs him and tosses him into the turnbuckles. JaX goes for a corner clothesline but Brent ducks under it, coming out of the corner and connects with a stiff right hand shot to JaX.)
Roy Hardy: JaX looks like he’s getting mad …
Jesse Watson: JaX ALWAYS looks like that.
(JaX takes a big swing with his right hand but Brent ducks under it. JaX swings again, this time with the left and Brent ducks it once again and this time, nails JaX with another big right hand punch.)
Jesse Watson: I think Brent better quit while he’s ahead! This is like poking an angry bear with a stick!
(Brent hit’s the ropes and as he comes off of them, JaX goes for a clothesline but Brent ducks under his arm. Brent stops and as JaX turns around, Brent hits him with a standing dropkick that hardly moves the mammoth of a man. Brent hit’s the rope again and this time, JaX catches him with a huge boot to the stomach.)
Jesse Watson: I told you! Poking an angry bear!
(JaX lifts Brent up into a power bomb position but Dougy hit’s the ring and delivers a kick to the back of the leg of JaX, getting him to drop Brent on his feet. The two men then deliver rapid kicks to the stomach of JaX. Both of them hit the ropes and as they come off of them, JaX comes charging at them, full speed ahead and plows through them both with a double shoulder tackle.)
Roy Hardy: The strength of this JaX is just downright scary!
Jesse Watson: EVERYTHING about JaX is scary!
(Dougy rolls out of the ring and JaX walks over and tags Chris Edwards into the match. Brent makes his way to his feet and tags Dougy into the match. Dougy and Edwards lock up and Chris quickly grabs him in a side headlock. Dougy shoots Edwards off into the ropes but as Edwards comes off of them, he overpowers Dougy with a shoulder tackle. Edwards hit’s the ropes again and this time, Dougy jumps up and catches Edwards with an arm drag as he comes off the ropes. Both men rush to their feet and this time, Edwards gets him with a hip toss. Dougy rushes to his feet and this time, uses his quickness advantage, to catch Edwards with a dropkick.)
Roy Hardy: Back and forth they go!
Jesse Watson: I can’t believe Dougy is standing up to Edwards like this!
Roy Hardy: Dougy and Brent may be goofy. But they’re also extremely talented. Don’t underestimate them.
(Dougy tags Brent back into the match and they grab Edwards and send him off into the ropes. As Edwards comes off of them, Dougy catches Chris with a low dropkick to the knee, taking him down to the mat. At the same time, Brent hit’s the ropes and hit’s a low dropkick of his own, to the side of the head of Edwards. Brent goes for the pin ..)

Kickout!
Roy Hardy: Great team work on display here from Maple Leaf Muscle.
Jesse Watson: For the time being. Edwards and JaX are monsters, with no remorse. You can’t ever count them out for a second.
(Brent gets Edwards to his feet, lifts him up and takes him down to the mat with a suplex. He floats over, going for another pin ..)
1...
2...
Kickout!
(Brent tags Dougy into the match and Dougy comes in and lands a couple of stomps to the back of the head. He gets Edwards to his feet and grabs his arm, twisting it around. He drives his elbow into it several times, before dragging him to his corner and tagging Brent back in.)
Roy Hardy: Some nice, quick, tags here by Maple Leaf Muscle.
(Dougy holds Edwards there, with his arm twisted and Brent goes to the top rope. As Brent leaps off, Edwards pulls his arm free and lands a big shot to the gut of Brent, as he comes off the ropes.)
Jesse Watson: That’s the opening that Edwards needed right there. I think that’s going to put them right back in this.
(Edwards gets Brent up and sends him over into his corner and Brent crumbles to the mat, upon impact with the turnbuckles. Edwards tags JaX into the match.)
Roy Hardy: Ohhhh boy.
Jesse Watson: If I could give Brent some advice right now on what the key thing to do right now is, you know what I’d tell him?
Roy Hardy: What?
Jesse Watson: Run!
Roy Hardy: That’s helpful.
(Brent is about to the center of the ring, trying to crawl to his corner, when JaX lands a big stomp to the middle of his back, stopping him in his tracks. JaX drags Brent to his feet and drives his face into the top turnbuckle. JaX then proceeds to drive his shoulder into the midsection of Brent, several times, driving the air right out of him. JaX then sends him into the opposite corner, so hard that he collapses to the ground again.)
Roy Hardy: Man, JaX is just doing a number on poor Brent.
Jesse Watson: My advice isn’t looking so bad right now, is it.
Roy Hardy: Not at all.
(JaX grabs Brent by the leg and drags him over to his own corner. Edwards slaps JaX’s back, tagging into the match. Edwards comes in and begins to land stomp after stomp, in rapid succession, to the midsection of Brent, wearing him down.)
Roy Hardy: Things are just not looking good for Brent, right now.
(Edwards starts to get Brent to his feet and Brent fights back, hitting some forearm shots to the midsection. Before he can really get going though, Edwards delivers a hard head butt. Edwards then sends Brent into the corner and charges at him but Brent moves out of the way and Chris goes crashing into the turnbuckles. As Brent is trying to regain himself near the ropes, JaX comes out of nowhere and drills him with a clothesline, while still standing on the apron.)
Jesse Watson: It looked like Brent may have had an opening to try and get something going but just like that, I think JaX just closed that opening!
Roy Hardy: I have to agree. Brent saw the light at the end of the tunnel but the light got blocked out by an eclipse called JaX.
(This gives Edwards enough time to collect himself and tag JaX into the match. JaX pulls Brent to his feet and then drills him into the mat with a double underhook suplex. JaX goes for a pin …)
1...

(Dougy rushes into the ring and lands a boot to the back of the head of JaX, breaking up the pin attempt.)
Roy Hardy: That may have saved the match for Maple Leaf Muscle, right there.
Jesse Watson: After the beating he’s taken, I don’t know if Brent WANTED the match to be saved!
(JaX begins to stalk Dougy, slowly backing him into the corner. Once Dougy’s back touches the turnbuckles and he has nowhere to go, JaX closes in on him. Suddenly, JaX turns around to see Brent charging at him and JaX catches him with a spine buster, driving him into the mat.)
Jesse Watson: Someone get a spatula, we’re gonna need it to get Brent off of the mat!
(JaX pulls Brent away from his corner and into Chaos Project’s and tags Chris Edwards back into the match. Edwards gets Brent to his feet, brings him to the center of the ring and sets him up for a double arm DDT but Brent falls to the ground, crawls between Edwards legs and makes a last ditch leap to his corner, tagging Dougy into the match.)
Roy Hardy: He got him! Fresh man is in!
(Dougy jumps up to the top rope and when Edwards turns around, Dougy leaps off, connecting with a missile dropkick. Edwards gets back to his feet and Dougy grabs him to send him off the ropes but Edwards reverses it. Instead of hitting the ropes though, Dougy jumps up onto the middle rope and then sprinboards backwards, hitting a back elbow. Dougy goes for a pin but sees JaX coming in after him and JaX goes to splash Dougy but Dougy moves and JaX splashes his own partner.)
Jesse Watson: JaX just splashed his own teammate!
Roy Hardy: What a miscue by Chaos Project!
(As JaX gets to his feet, Brent comes back in and hits him with an enzugiri, sending JaX through the ropes and to the outside of the ring. Edwards gets to his feet, hunched over, holding his stomach and while he is, Dougy grabs him in a small package roll up …)

Jesse Watson: You’ve got to be kidding me!
Randall Jobbs: Winners of the match, via pinfall at the 10:11 mark of the match, Maple Leaf Muscle!Roy Hardy: Talk about an come from behind, out of nowhere, upset victory! Maple Leaf Muscle has defeated JaX and Chris Edwards!
Jesse Watson: The way this match was going, I would have bet the house on Chaos Project!
Roy Hardy: I don’t think you’re alone in that assessment. Chaos Project was dominating the majority of this match up. But somehow, some way, Maple Leaf Muscle has found a way to attain victory!
Jesse Watson: I know one thing. I’m glad I won’t be backstage when JaX and Edwards get there. They are not going to be a good mood.
Roy Hardy: You ain’t kidding. And as I said earlier, the winner of this match goes on to face the winner of the first match so Maple Leaf Muscle will be taking on Ashton Styles and Darren Maddox in the next round!
PWSi Presents -
Round 1 Match
New Noize vs. Flex Johnson & Gilbert GoldRandall Jobbs: The following contest is a first round match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first …
(Dear Marni
I am so sorry
Can your forgive me for this?
It's the dead doctor with the hungry scalpel
Here's my prognosis; Will they live?
DOUBTFUL
At the start of the next, twisted verse, Gilbert Gold come out from the curtain, brooding and silent. He is in his own little word, practically ignoring the crowd despite their outreached arms reaching for him. He makes his way down the ramp.)
Randall Jobbs: First, from Amishville, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 191 pounds .. Representing Insurgency Wrestling Federation … Gilbert Golden!
(You're the Street Physician
Carvin' flesh sculptures
Paint your ass like a Rembrandt!
Ha! You like-a that!
Better start praying when you see him coming
Tonight it's curtains
YOUR THE NIGHT SURGEON!
At the start of the chorus...
Remember who you are...(I remember)
Remember what you did to Marni.
Remember who you are...(I remember)
Remember what you did to her!
...Gold is in the center of the ring. His face is down, but slowly moving upward to meet the gaze of the camera. He has a sinister smile on his face, which makes the crowd to wild. He finally acknowleges the audience by bowing to each side of the ring, his mouth movements thanking them as the music begins to fade when the match is ready to go.)
Randall Jobbs: And his tag team partner ….
(“In Division” begins to blare over the speakers.
"I lay in a bed of resistance,
Chained to either side.
I really wish I could reset, rewind."
Smoke slowly begins to creep and fill the stage.
"I really wish I could reset rewind.
You know it's never the way we planned it.
I really wish we could reset rewind."
After a few moments, Flex Johnson strolls out and looks out at the crowd. )
Randall Jobbs: From Harlem, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds .. Also representing Insurgency Wrestling Federation … Flex Johnson!
("I'm planning a revolution inside my head!
I'm planning a revolution when I break free.
I call for annihilation.
Describe the sunlight so I can feel it's burn.
If only I could get up from this bed!"
He walks slowly down the ramp. A number of fans boo him; a number of fans cheer for Flex as well.
"Living inside a hole they put me underground.
Where they can never find me 'less they dig me out."
Flex circles the ring one time, and then rolls into the ring.
"But no one seems to care anymore!
I'm digging, I'm digging my way out.
'Cause when I breathe in there is no release!"
He walks over to the near turn buckle and points a finger to the sky.
"I've been living inside a hole they put me underground.
Where they could never find me 'less they dig me out.
I've been living inside a hole.
Where they could never find me 'less they dig me out."
Flex hops off the turn buckle and waits for his opponent.)
Randall Jobbs: And their opponents ….
After the opening cord of “Eye of the Tiger” ends, Trent comes out with his arms raised in the air.)
Randall Jobbs: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds … Trent Youngblood!
(As he walks down the entrance, he high fives the fans. He rolls into the ring, throws some punches, kicks and ends with a roundhouse kick, warming up for the upcoming match.)
Randall Jobbs: And his partner …
(“Bombs Away” by B.o.B begins to play and Dontrelle Jones makes his way to the entrance area.)
Randall Jobbs: From Birmingham, Alabama, weighing in at 236 pounds … Dontrelle Jones!
(Dontrelle high fives some fans before running and jumping up on the ring apron and getting in the ring next to Trent.)
Roy Hardy: We’ve had a great night of action thus far through two matches and I think this one is going to follow suit, so get ready!
Jesse Watson: I’ve got no doubt that it will!
(The bell rings and Trent Youngblood starts the match off with Gilbert Gold. Trent extends a hand to Gilbert and Gold shakes it. The two circle around one another a bit before locking up. Trent quickly grabs Gold into a standing side headlock. Gilbert backs him up a bit and then pushes him off into the ropes. As Trent comes off of the ropes, he connects with a shoulder tackle on Gilbert. Trent hit’s the ropes and Gilbert rolls over onto his stomach, forcing Trent to jump over him. Trent comes off the ropes again and Gold leap frogs him. Trent stops behind Gilbert and as Gold turns around, Trent swings at him but Gilbert ducks under it and then grabs Trent into a standing side headlock of his own.)
Roy Hardy: You can see that there’s obviously a big feeling out process here, seeing as these two men have never been in the same company together, much less the same ring.
Jesse Watson: Plus New Noize hasn’t teamed together in a few years and Flex and Gilbert have never teamed before. Plus taking into account what you said, this all makes for a very interesting match.
(Trent sends Gilbert off into the ropes and as he comes off of them, Trent falls to the mat and Gilbert jumps over him. Trent leaps back up and leans down, looking for a back drop but Gilbert jumps over him. Trent turns around and Gilbert swings at him but Trent ducks it. Trent swings at Gilbert but Gilbert evades it. The two square off at a stalemate and both retreat to their corner to talk to their partners and eventually, both tag their partners in.)
Roy Hardy: Well, now it looks like they’re gonna go for a fresh look, with fresh guys in the ring.
Jesse Watson: It was a stalemate between Gold and Youngblood so lets see how Flex and Dontrelle do.
(The two men hesitate and then go for a lock up but Dontrelle quickly slides behind Flex and locks his arms around his waist. Flex is able to slip out of it though, grabbing one of Dontrelle’s arms and taking him down to the mat, putting him in an arm bar. Flex slams Jones’ arm on the mat but quickly grabs it again, putting him back into the arm bar. Dontrelle finally is able to roll through with it and gets to his feet. He twists Flex’s arm, grabbing him in a hammerlock. Flex rolls down to the mat, kicks his feet up, breaking Dontrelle’s lock on his arm, grabs Dontrelle by the legs and trips him down to the mat, quickly grabbing him in a side headlock.)
Roy Hardy: Some great back and forth chain wrestling, here in the early going by both teams.
Jesse Watson: Well it’s like I said earlier. These guys don’t know each other, so they’re not going to jump right into the deep end and pull out all the stops. They’re gonna go slowly and test the waters.
Roy Hardy: And that’s the smart way to do it. You show your hand too early and try to hit a home run, right off, you may go down swinging because the signature moves are what they can do their homework on and they may be looking for ‘em.
(Dontrelle lands a forearm shot to the back of Flex and fights his way to his feet, Flex holding on the entire way though. Jones lands a few more forearm shots to the ribs of Flex but before he can do much more, Flex lets go of the headlock, grabs on to Dontrelle’s arm and grabs him in a hammerlock. Dontrelle struggles for a few seconds before twisting out of it and grabbing Flex in a standing headlock of his own. Flex shoots Dontrelle off into the ropes and as he comes off of them, Flex goes for a clothesline but Dontrelle ducks under his arm. As Dontrelle comes off of them again, Flex lifts him up for a sidewalk slam but Dontrelle swings through with the momentum and catches Flex with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors.)
Roy Hardy: Nice counter by Dontrelle Jones!
Jesse Watson: Lets see if that’s the beginning of these two teams letting loose and going all out!
(Flex pops back to his feet and Dontrelle comes charging at him but Flex swings at him with a back elbow. Dontrelle ducks under it and hit’s the ropes. As he comes off of them, Flex turns around and Dontrelle connects with a hurricanrana.)
Roy Hardy: Tremendously executed move by Dontrelle! He’s really going now!
(Johnson staggers back to his feet and goes into one of the empty corners of the ring. Dontrelle charges at Flex but Flex gets a boot up into his face, stopping him. Dontrelle staggers out of the corner holding onto his mouth. As Flex comes out of the corner, Dontrelle charges at him again but this time Flex catches him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Flex goes for the pin …)

Kickout!
Jesse Watson: Flex almost had him! I think Dontrelle got a little too ahead of himself, got going too quickly and thought he was in the driver’s seat but Flex kept his composure and was able to counter his attack.
Roy Hardy: That very well could have been. Now lets see what Flex does to capitalize on the situation and get his team in control of this match.
(Flex begins to get Dontrelle up but Dontrelle grabs him and drives him over into his corner and Trent Youngblood tags into the match. Dontrelle keeps him trapped into the corner long enough for Trent to deliver a forearm shot to Johnson.)
Jesse Watson: Lets see what Trent Youngblood can do against the team of Flex and Gilbert, this time around.
Roy Hardy: He was primarily unsuccessful the first time, so it’ll be interesting to see if he was able to pick up on anything while watching his partner compete.
(Trent pulls Flex out of the corner and delivers a hard judo kick to the chest, sending Flex down to one knee. Trent then delivers another kick to the chest, taking Flex down to both knees. Trent goes to land another one and Flex blocks it this time but Trent, thinking quickly on his feet, switches it up and delivers a kick to the back of Flex’s head with the other foot. Trent goes for a pin ..)

Roy Hardy: Now lets see if he can capitalize!
(Flex crawls over and is table to tag in Gilbert. Dontrelle is crawling towards his corner but Gilbert cuts him off, dropping a leg drop to the back of the head of Jones. Gilbert goes for a quick pin ..)

Roy Hardy: These two teams are trying all they can to get this match over quickly.
Jesse Watson: And that’s smart, especially tonight because the winner isn’t done. They still have at least one more match to wrestle, potentially even more.
Roy Hardy: Very good point. They don’t want to waste energy that could be used on later matches. But at the same time, they have to pull out all the stops to ensure they even make it that far.
(Gilbert gets Dontrelle to his feet and then quickly plants him with a snap suplex. Gilbert runs and hit’s a split legged moonsault off of the top rope and hooks the leg once again ..)

(Gilbert gets up and tags Flex into the match. Flex slingshots himself over the top rope, landing a big knee drop to the throat of Jones. Dontrelle sits up, holding onto his throat. As he does, Flex hit’s the ropes and then delivers a low dropkick to the mouth of Jones. Flex goes for a pin …)

Kickout!
Roy Hardy: Flex and Gilbert are doing a great job of cutting Dontrelle off from his partner and really wearing him down.
Jesse Watson: Despite the fact that we’ve seen how great Flex can be, I’m a bit surprised because he and Gilbert aren’t familiar with each other as partners.
Roy Hardy: We’ve already seen tonight that the most unlikely partners can pull off of the surprise victory. We could see another one here.
(Flex gets Dontrelle up and tags Gilbert back into the match. Flex holds up one of Gilbert’s arms and Gilbert slingshots himself into the ring, nailing an elbow smash into the exposed ribs of Dontrelle. Gilbert then runs and springboards off of the the 2nd rope but as he comes off, Dontrelle catches him with a spin kick to the mouth.)
Roy Hardy: What a shot by Dontrelle!
(Dontrelle is then able to leap over and tag Trent into the match.)
Roy Hardy: And now here comes the fresh man, into the match!
(Trent leaps to the top rope and then jumps off, connecting with a diving elbow drop to the chest of Gilbert. Trent gets Gold up and sends him off into the ropes. As he comes off the ropes, Trent catches him in the mouth with a spinning heal kick. Trent goes for a pin ..)

Kickout!
Jesse Watson: I thought he may have had it there!
Roy Hardy: Me too. He caught him square in the mouth with that kick, that I’m sure rattled a few teeth.
(Trent gets Gilbert back to his feet and hits him with a few forearm shots. He then follows it up with a kick to the stomach and goes for a DDT but Gilbert reverses it into a Northern Lights suplex but can’t hold the bridge to make a pin attempt.)
Roy Hardy: He was too warn out to hold position to go for the pin!
Jesse Watson: That move could either be the beginning of a comeback into this match or just some false hope for the team of Gold and Johnson! Heh, say that quick.
Roy Hardy: What?
Jesse Watson: Gold and Johnson. Say it quick.
Roy Hardy: ….You have the maturity level of a 14 year old.
(Gold struggles to get to his corner but he’s able to make it there and he tags Flex into the match.)
Jesse Watson: Business is about to pick up now!
(As Trent is to his knees, trying to get to his feet, Flex hits him with a super kick to the side of the face. Flex then locks Trent into a Koji Clutch submission hold. Dontrelle hit’s the ring to break the submission but Gold catches him with a low dropkick to the leg, taking him down to one knee and then follows it up with the “Sparkling Magician,” sending Dontrelle rolling out of the ring. Trent continues to try fighting the submission hold but he’s in the center of the ring and can’t fight it any longer and taps out.)
Randall Jobbs: Winners of this match, via submission, at the 9:27 mark, Flex Johnson and Gilbert Gold!Roy Hardy: I don’t believe it! Just like that, Trent Youngblood has tapped out to Flex Johnson and Flex and Gilbert Gold are moving on to the next round!
Jesse Watson: That’s crazy! Flex comes right in and out of nowhere just picks up the win! Man, I did not see this match ending quite like that!
Roy Hardy: He had that Koji Clutch locked in to perfection and he did not let go one bit. Trent had no other choice but to give up.

Shock And Awe vs. The Extreme ThrillersRandall Jobbs: The following contest is a first round match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first …
(Andrew Storm comes out from the back and stops on the stage while the pyro's and smoke, and leans forward with his arms crossed.)
Randall Jobbs: From Miami, Florida, weighing in at 245 pounds … He represents PWSWF .. Andrew Storm!
(Then comes back up and raises both arms in the air and then begins walking through the smoke, getting into the ring.)
Randall Jobbs: And his partner …
(The Arena goes dark and the lights flicker on and off as Line in the Sand by Motorhead plays as Robert Saints and his manager/girlfriend Kelly Robinson walk through the curtain backstage. Robert Saints then stands on the entrance ramp as the pyro explode down the entrance ramp towards the ring.)
Randall Jobbs: From New York, New York, weighing in at 245 pounds … Representing PWSWF … Robert Saints!
(Robert Saints walks down the ramp high-fiving the fans as his manager Kelly Robinson follows him as he enters the ring, waiting for his opponent. Kelly Robinson enters the ring and kisses Robert Saints on the cheek for good luck before exiting the ring and waiting in her boyfriend/client's corner.)
Randall Jobbs: And their opponents …
("Revolution" begins playing as blue and red lights kick on and begin spinning around, illuminating different areas of the crowd. Dynamite steps out onto the ramp, with a large red light shining up from beneath him. Marcus Cage comes out spinning around, with his arms outstretched as a blue light illuminated him. Dynamite stopped in the center of the stage, and watched as Marcus ran back and forth in front of him, going from one side of the stage, to the other, pointing out at the crowd as he does so. When Marcus makes it to the center, with Dynamite, they both high five, which turns into a double fist bump.)
Randall Jobbs: From Buffalo, New York and Las Vegas, Nevada respectively, weighing in at a combined weight of 450 pounds … Representing PWSi … Marcus Cage & Dynamite … Shock N Awe!
(They begin making their way to the ring, with Marcus really playing up to the crowd. He grabs a young girls camera, and turns it around so he gets a picture of him with the crowd, and hands it back to her. Dynamite is on the other side of the ramp, shaking hands with the fans. They stop at the bottom of the ramp, and nod to each other before rushing forward, and sliding in the ring. Marcus runs to the turnbuckle, and hops up to the second rope, before throwing his hands up. Dynamite does so on the opposite turnbuckle, and the two of them continue pumping up the crowd, before they go to their corner.)
Roy Hardy: Here we go! Final match up of the first round!
(Robert Saints and Dynamite start the match off with a lock up in the center of the ring. Both are fighting for position when Dynamite gets Saints in a headlock. Saints pushes Dynamite to the ropes and Saints goes for a Shoulder Block. Dynamite didn’t budge. Dynamite slaps his chest.)
Dynamite: BRING IT!
(Saints goes off the ropes and goes for a shoulder block again. Dynamite didn’t move. Dynamite goes to the ropes and goes for one of his own and Saints gets plowed over, to the mat.)
Jesse Watson: Challenging Dynamite to any kind of strength-related competition isn’t the smartest move.
(Saints gets up and goes to ropes again and as he comes off of them, Dynamite comes charging with a hard clothesline. He grabs Saints’s arm and drags him to his corner. He props him up, with Saints’s head on the second turnbuckle. He tags in Cage.)
Roy Hardy: Shock N Awe looking to keep Saints away from his partner in the early going. Good strategy.
(Cage enters to join the fight. He stomps on Saints a little bit before forcing him up all the way in the corner. Cage backs up and hits Saints with a clothesline in the turnbuckle. He pulls Saints out, holding his arm and connects with a short arm clothesline. Cage goes for a pin…)

(Saints kicks out the pin. Cage quickly goes to tag Dynamite back into the match. They both get Saints up and send him into the ropes. They go for a clothesline, but Saints ducked the move. Storm gets the blind tag on Saints.)

Jesse Watson: That’s good tag teaming right there.

Dynamite goes for a clothesline, but Storm ducks it. When Dynamite turns around, Storm lands a boot to the stomach and then follows it up with a snap suplex.

Kickout!
Roy Hardy: Andrew Storm has been on fire, ever since he got into the ring.
Jesse Watson: I think they’re looking to pull out, what some would consider an upset. Shock N Awe is one of the most notorious tag teams in all of wrestling.
Roy Hardy: Very true. This could be a huge win for Saints and Storm.
(Storm turns Dynamite over and goes to lock in an STF. Dynamite is moving about, trying to get to the ropes. Dynamite is able to claw close enough to the ropes and he grabs the bottom on, forcing Storm to break the submission hold.)
Roy Hardy: Good ring awareness by Dynamite to know where he was.
(Storm drags Dynamite over and tags Saints into the match. Saints picks up Dynamite and hits a scoop slam. He backs up and distracts the ref. Storm hops up on the top rope to hit a diving elbow drop on Dynamite and then quickly rolls out of the ring.)
Roy Hardy: Well that was highly unnecessary.
Jesse Watson: I thought it was smart. Take no chances. Do anything you can to secure a victory.
(Saints goes back to Dynamite and goes for a pin ..)

Kickout!
(Saints looks at the ref with a sigh and picks up Dynamite and pushes him into corner where Storm is. He tags in Storm. Storm goes to the center of the ring, charges and hit’s a corner enzugiri. He moved back to let Dynamite stumble out the corner. As he does, Storm hits him with a standing dropkick and tags Saints back into the match.)
Roy Hardy: The Extreme Thrillers are showing some very good tag team psychology. They’ve kept Dynamite as far away from his partner, as possible.
Jesse Watson: It’s a recipe for success. As long as they keep it up, they should win this match. Dynamite is reeling.
(As Saints gets into the ring, Storm lifts him up and then drops him down across the throat of Dynamite with a leg drop. Saints goes for a pin on Dynamite…)

Saints gets to his feet again and Cage sends him off into the ropes. As Saints comes off the ropes, Marcus catches him with a backdrop.

(Dynamite gets Saints up and drags him to his corner, tagging Cage into the match. Dynamite lifts Saints up into a vertical suplex position, while Marcus goes to the top rope. Marcus leaps off, connecting with a cross body on Saints, while Dynamite brings him down for a vertical suplex as well. Marcus makes the pin …)

Kickout at 2 ½!
Jesse Watson: Not gonna lie, I thought that was the end of Extreme Thrillers!
(After Saints kicks out, he starts reaching to tag in Storm but before he can get there, Cage gets Saints in a headlock. After a few seconds, Saints fights it and gets to his feet. He lands several kidney shots to Cage. He reaches out for Storm, but Cage grabs his foot. Saints turns around, jumps up to hit an enzugiri.)
Jesse Watson: Nice shot by Saints!
Roy Hardy: I wasn’t sure Saints had that left in him, after the beating he’s been receiving from Shock N Awe in the last few minutes.
(Both men struggle to get to their respective corners. Saints is able to crawl over to Storm and tag him in and as he does, Cage tags in Dynamite. Dynamite is the first to strike, hitting a clothesline on Storm. Storm gets up and Dynamite hits him with another one. He grabs Storm as he’s trying to get to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Dynamite goes for a backdrop but Storm stops short and delivers a kick to the mouth of Dynamite. Storm then promptly plants him into the mat with a DDT and goes for a pin ..)

Jesse Watson: Man, Storm SPIKED Dynamite with that DDT!
Roy Hardy: He sure did. That’s the type of move that’ll rattle your brain cells.
Jesse Watson: That’s assuming there’s any left in that meat head of his.
Roy Hardy: I’m gonna tell him you said that.
Jesse Watson: You have no proof!
(Storm gets Dynamite to his feet and nails him with a European uppercut, staggering Dynamite back a few steps. Storm hits him with another one before sending him into the ropes. As Dynamite comes off the ropes, Storm swings at him but Dynamite ducks under his arm.

Roy Hardy: We’ve got a winner!
Randall Jobbs: Winners of this match, via pinfall, at the 9:31 mark of the match, Shock N Awe!Jesse Watson: I think Dynamite may have ripped Storm in half with that spear!
Roy Hardy: He drove the air right out of his body, no doubt about that.
Jesse Watson: It seems like it’s redundant to say by now but what a match! Honestly, I thought The Extreme Thrillers looked like they were on their A game and was going to take it.
Roy Hardy: They came close several times. It was a great first round of action. And now Shock N Awe move on to the next round to take on Flex Armstrong & Gilbert Gold, in what is sure to be a hell of a match!
