PWF SuperClash 2017

February 18, 2017

-During the PWF Openweight Championship match between champion AJ Styles and challenger Curt Hennig, PWF Million Dollar Champion Ted DiBiase made his way to the ring and sat at ringside, observing the match. As Styles climbed the ring ropes, DiBiase got out of his seat and Hennig grabbed Referee Nick Patrick and held his back to Styles. DiBiase hit Styles in the face with the Million Dollar Championship belt and sent him flying, face first to the mat. Hennig quickly executed the Perfect Plex on Styles and covered him to win the PWF Openweight Championship. DiBiase and Hennig shook hands and stepped over Styles as they left the ring to boos from the crowd.

-During the Brent Albright vs. Chris Benoit match, Larry Sweeney climbed the ring apron to interfere when Albright told Sweeney to stand at ringside and stay out of the way. Begrudgingly, Sweeney stood at ringside throughout the match.

-Following the event, Roddy Piper left the PWF.

Interview:
Ken Kennedy interview

("Ghost of the Navigator" by Iron Maiden played as Ken Kennedy came to the ring
with Paul Heyman to huge boos from the crowd.)

Ken Kennedy: PWF SuperClash is an appropriate name for an event that I will
headline. A SuperClash is exactly what the phrase says: it's a class of super
proportions. This SuperClash is a clash between yours truly and that of the
current PWF World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe. Joe may think he's a force to
be reckoned with, but what Joe doesn't understand is that Joe is dealing with
THE FORCE that is going to reckon with him. Joe, you're title reign has already
last far too long for my liking and I'm not going to stand for it. SuperClash,
how apropos. Joe, the SuperClash will take place when your skull clashes with
my super force. It will be super to watch something like that take place and
then the PWF can house a World Champion that befits this company.

(Kennedy left the ring with Heyman to huge boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Brent Albright interview

("Live To Win" by Motorhead played as Brent Albright came to the ring with
Larry Sweeney.)

Larry Sweeney: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Brent Albright!

(Albright posed for the crowd as they booed him out of building.)

Brent Albright: It seems to me there is a problem within the PWF. That problem
is that nobody is man enough to step in the ring with me. Everybody on the
roster is clutching and holding close their title belt or their pride,
depending upon the person. You see, what happens when you step in the ring with
me is that you get out! Or you tap out! Since nobody even wants to get in, that
to me means everyone last one of you standing back there are a group full of
cowards. What we're going to do right now is quite simple. I'm issuing an open
challenge to anybody on the face of this planet who wants to step in the ring
with me. If there's any man alive who has the intestinal fortitude to stand toe
to toe with me, then bring yourself to the ring right now!

(Albright hung over the ropes as Sweeney looked at the aisle way and then his
watch.)

Brent Albright: Larry, you tell me to come out here. You tell me to force the
issue and I get left standing here without a man willing to face me. You know,
it seems to me that the PWF has gone soft and that even if I ran back there and
slapped all of you phonies across the face, you still wouldn't have the balls
to step in the ring with me.

(Albright hung over the ropes as Sweeney looked down the aisle in disgust at
the lack of an opponent for Brent Albright.)

Brent Albright: If there isn't even a man who is willing to step in the same
ring with me, then I guess the PWF truly is filled with nothing more than a
bunch of cowards.

("Whatever" by Our Lady Peace played as Chris Benoit returned to the PWF to
huge cheers from the crowd. Benoit stepped into the ring as Albright stood eye
with Benoit.)

Chris Benoit: Albright, I don't know who you think you are, but I'm standing
here right now and I'd love to know what you're going to do about it.

Brent Albright: Chris Benoit; a blast from the PWF past. What a great pleasure
it is to see you standing in my ring. Benoit, it's good you came out here,
because I've beaten you once and sent you packing, I'd be happy to do it again.

(Albright tossed his microphone aside as Benoit quickly began throwing chops at
Albright. Benoit whipped Albright off the ropes and hit him with a short-arm
lariat. Albright quickly rolled out of the ring and gathered himself as Sweeney
pointed and yelled threats at Benoit as the fans applauded the return of Chris
Benoit.)

Interview:
Piper's Pit #1

("Green Hills of Tyrol" by Jim Johnston played as Roddy Piper returned to the
PWF and made his way to the ring, where he would conduct Piper's Pit to huge
cheers from the crowd.)

Roddy Piper: Ths boss is back and it's been far too long!

(The crowd cheered Piper's return.)

Roddy Piper: Let's bring out our guest for this evening. The former PWF Double
Crown Champion, "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush.

("Break It Down Again" by Tears For Fears played as Mike Quackenbush came to
the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Roddy Piper: Now, Mike, I've had the privilege of watching you wrestling here
in the PWF and I got to say, you really are something else. I mean, you bring a
different mix to the ring, which is why it's surprising that you can't seem to
beat James Gibson and reclaim your titles.

Mike Quackenbush: Well, Roddy, I can go out to the ring and beat Gibson down
until he can't even remember his own name, but when he sends in three other
guys to do his work for him, it's pretty tough to overcome.

Roddy Piper: What a minute. Are you making excuses for not being able to pin a
man's shoulders to the mat? Pal, this isn't all fun and games, this is
pro-wrestling. That stuff comes with the territory. If you're trying to tell me
that you're a pussy and can't fight yourself, that's one thing, but don't try
and tell me you're upset with the way wrestling works.

Mike Quackenbush: First of all, don't insult me. Secondly, don't put words in
my mouth. Piper, I expected to come out here and be able to state my case, but
it seems you're out here trying to run me down.

Roddy Piper: Hey, kid. This is my show and I'll do whatever I want. You don't
like it, go cry to the principal that you're being picked on.

Mike Quackenbush: Piper, if you like, I could simply kick your ass right here
and now.

Roddy Piper: You don't throw rocks at a man with a machine gun! Quackenbush, if
you want to challenge me, I'm going to urge you to re-think yourself.

Mike Quackenbush: Piper, I'm not re-thinking anything.

Roddy Piper: Well, if that's how you feel, I guess I'm going to have to shake
your hand for being a man about this, instead of a coward.

(Piper shook hands with Quackenbush. As Quackenbush pulled his hand away to
leave, Piper refused to let go. Piper low-blowed Quackenbush and tossed him
into the turnbuckle. Piper executed a running knee lift on Quackenbush and left
him laying on the mat.)

Roddy Piper: Michael, I don't need to know how tough I am to know how tough I
am. You've just been given lesson number one.

(Piper threw his microphone at Quackenbush and left the ring to boos from the
crowd.)

Interview:
Kings of Wrestling interview

("We Are The Champions" by Queen played as the Kings of Wrestling: Chris Hero,
Brent Albright, Claudio Castagnoli, Kevin Steen and Larry Sweeney came to the
ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

Larry Sweeny: Sometimes people are lucky and sometimes people are stupid. At
PWF Battle Final, Samoa Joe was lucky and Bret Hart was stupid. Hart's career
in the PWF was put to end by "The Gun For Hire" Brent Albright.

(Albright held his arms high in the air as the fans booed him.)

Larry Sweeney: Samoa Joe, there's really only one way to look at you defeating
Chris Hero and winning the PWF World Heavyweight Championship and that is luck!
Nobody has ever tangled with the Kings of Wrestling and walked away standing.
So, now, the question has been raised, "Are the Kings of Wrestling finished?" I
answer that very simply: Not a chance in hell, daddy! However, Chris Hero and I
both agree that the Kings of Wrestling need a new look, a new force...a new
style. Who better to bring us back to the top that the king of style himself. A
limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheelin-dealin', son of a gun, who
has kissed the girls... WORLDWIDE... and made 'em cry. "The Nature Boy" Ric
Flair!

("2001: A Space Odyssey" by Richard Strauss played as Ric Flair returned to the PWF.)

Ric Flair: WOO! The Nature Boy is back in business and I'm here to show the PWF
how we operate. When Larry Sweeney called me up, I was thrilled to be apart of
the best thing going to today, the Kings of Wrestling. Larry told me the Kings
of Wrestling needed a change of style and more than that, a change in
philosophy. When you bring Ric Flair into the fold, you get all you could have
asked for and more. I'm the dirtiest player in the game today! Just because
there happens to be a bunch of guys around here pretending to be at the top of
the PWF mountain, doesn't mean a damn thing. I created the mountain and now
it's time for me to start throwing people off of it. You see, I've always said,
to be the man, you've got to beat the man. You're looking at the man and I'm
only getting warmed up. Learn to love it, learn to live with it. Diamonds are
forever, and so is Ric Flair! Woo!

(The Kings of Wrestling left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Kennedy Alliance interview

("We Are The Road Crew" by Motorhead played as the Kennedy Alliance: Ken
Kennedy, Umaga, Giant Bernard, Travis Tomko, Abyss and Paul Heyman came to the
ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

Ken Kennedy: Gone are the days of me walking to a ring I made famous and
playing to you fools who sit in the audience. Gone are the days of me being the
guy you people could get behind. Gone are the days of following rules that
don't even exist. I'm not here to make friends and I'm certainly not here to
entertain anybody with a script filled with bullshit. I'm here to reclaim my
spot amongst the greats of the PWF and in doing that, the first to fall at the
feet of my Alliance is Samoa Joe; The new PWF World Heavyweight Champion and a
man who hasn't even begun to feel the strain that my crew is going to lay on
him. Joe, you keep that title belt nice and shiny, because you and I both know
where it belongs to. That title belt being around your waist is an insult to me
and I'm not going to stand for it. Joe, get your ass out here and hand over my
title, instantly.

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as the new PWF World Heavyweight
Champion Samoa Joe walked down the aisle way and stood in front of the ring to
huge cheers from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: Bravo, gentlemen, bravo. Kennedy, you and Heyman sure did come up
with quite the master plan, didn't you? Only problem is, it didn't stop me from
winning the PWF World Heavyweight Championship and it's not going to stop me
from kicking the shit out of you and the rest of your cronies.

Paul Heyman: Samoa Joe, if I were you, I'd be careful what I wished for.
Standing in this ring are a plethora of men with marching orders and those
orders quite clear: Seek and destroy. They will locate you and they will
destroy you at a moment's notice. If you like, I can show you right now. Abyss,
time to work.

(Abyss left the ring and approached Joe in the aisle way. Abyss pie-faced Joe
and sent him flying backwards. Abyss re-joined the Kennedy Alliance in the
ring.)

Paul Heyman: Joe, if I wanted to, I could put an end to your career right here
and now, but where's the fun in that?

(Joe got back to his feet and slid into the ring. Joe went after Kennedy, but
was grabbed and held down by Bernard and Tomko. Kennedy grabbed Joe by the face
and began yelling threats and insults at him. Kennedy pointed to Umaga, who ran
through Joe with a flying hip attack and left him lying on the mat. The Kennedy
Alliance left the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

("Million Dollar Rap" by Jim Johnston played as "The Million Dollar Man" Ted
DiBiase came to the ring with a black bag and a microphone.)

Ted DiBiase: The Million Dollar Man's entrance into the PWF sure wasn't what I
had planned. You seen, when somebody like me comes into town, heads turn,
people begin talking and it always ends up with me on top. Just so happens,
somebody didn't get the memo. AJ Styles, I'm talking to you. Somehow, you won
the battle royal and became the first ever PWF Openweight Champion. Well, good
for you, but I didn't come here to play second fiddle to anybody. Matter of
fact, I'm already a champion and don't need to bother with AJ Styles, James
Gibson or even Samoa Joe.

(DiBiase open his bag and took out the Million Dollar Championship belt.)

Ted DiBiase: This belt is worth more than any title belt in the PWF today and
means more than any title belt in the PWF today. Why? Because I'm wearing it.
Styles, you take your title belt and shove it up your ass. I'm the Million
Dollar Champion and when I want your title, I'll pay for it.

Lynn, Lance Storm and Chris Jericho were of no match to the trio of Edge,
Christian and Rhino. We made quick work of that ridiculous, excuse for a stable
and now stand head and shoulders above them.

Edge: Don, you're right...as usual. Jericho comes back to the PWF only to find
himself with his head up his ass...as usual. Jericho, not even you can save
Lynn and Storm from getting their asses handed to them in grand fashion.

Christian: You see ladies and gents, what everybody in the PWF needs to come to
grips with is that there is a changing of philosophy taking shape in the PWF
right now. It's quite simple. It's not how you present yourselves, it's how you
execute!

(The Can-Am Express: Chris Jericho, Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn quickly hit the
ring and began trading blows with Edge, Christian and Rhino. Can-Am Express
gained the upper hand and sent the Border City Connection flying out of the

Interview:
Samoa Joe interview

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd as Paul Heyman sat in the front row, staring at Joe. Joe
followed Heyman's eyes his entire way to the ring.)

Samoa Joe: Battle Final is a true test for me as a pro-wrestler and as a
person. I'm challenging Chris Hero for the PWF World Heavyweight Championship,
but I'm also challenging the Kings of Wrestling, the referee and the wild card
that has emerged as Paul Heyman. Heyman, I'm not going to get into it with you
anymore. I'm tired of dealing with you already. Paul, you do what you're going
to do and I'll do what I'm going to do. And what I'm going to do come PWF
Battle Final is become the new PWF World Heavyweight Champion. I've wrestled in
the PWF since the first year of its existence and I'm not going anywhere,
anytime soon. Hero, you better bring all the fire power you can carry come
Battle Final, because I'll have my bullet proof vest on and all of your
flunkies will be bouncing off me as I walk through the battle field to become
World Heavyweight Champion.

(Joe dropped the microphone and left the ring as Heyman got up from his seat
and left ringside.)

Bret Hart interview

("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd.)

Bret Hart: I've been in the PWF for longer than anyone else here today. I'm the
elder statesman. I wrestled in the first PWF match ever. I'm the only
three-time PWF World Heavyweight Champion. I've done everything I could have
dreamed up in the PWF and throughout my career in general, I've pushed myself
to be the best I can possibly be in the ring. Battle Final 2016 very well may
be my last dance if you will, but I'm not ready to go yet. Brent Albright stuck
a knife through my heart and made me seriously question my desire to wrestle. I
came back and now I've got Brent Albright all over me. He's made it a point to
try and finish my career. He has every opportunity to do just that, but I'll
have something to say about that. Throughout my entire career it seems that
everyone around me has attempted to tear me down. Whether it's Shawn Michaels,
Vince McMahon, Chris Hero or Brent Albright. Everywhere I go, it's been a fight
for my dignity. Now, I'm fighting for my career. Brent Albright, you're looking
at Bret "Hitman" Hart. I'm the excellence of execution for a reason and come
Battle Final, I will show you once and for all why I am the best there, the
best there was and the best there ever will be.

(Hart dropped the microphone and left the ring to huge cheers from the crowd.)

10/15/16: PWF Showdown C

Interview:
Border City Connection interview

("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge played as Edge, Christian, Rhino and Don Callis
came to the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

Don Callis: I'm the Canadian Caesar and all of you are my peasants! Lance Storm
and Jerry Lynn aren't even that high on my list, all of you people should be
extremely proud of yourselves.

(The fans booed Callis.)

Don Callis: The PWF has been introduced to a group so powerful that we're not
allowed in the state of Kansas! A group so powerful that women throw themselves
at us! A group so powerful that even we could get Lance Storm to smile! This
group is none other than the Border City Connection!

(The fans exploded with boos.)

Don Callis: I told you guys we'd be a big hit here. Our first edict is to lay
down the law. If you mess with us once, you get gored. You mess with us twice,
you get impaled. You mess with us three times, you get Edgeacated!

("Scapegoat" by Fear Factory played as the Can-Am Express (Lance Storm & Jerry
Lynn) came to the ring to huge cheers from the crowd.)

Jerry Lynn: Callis, would you please shut your fucking mouth for once in your
pathetic life.

Don Callis: Jerry, I'm warning you right now. You speak out of line again...

(Callis smiled and pointed at Rhino)

Don Callis: ...I can't control him.

Jerry Lynn: Callis, you think you're clever showing up at PWF Tag League and
costing us our chance to regain the PWF World Tag Team Championship. Just so
happens, I think you've made a huge mistake. If you expect Lance and I to
simply accept a beatdown of 3-on 1, well, you've gotten even stupider than you
were in our ECW days.

Don Callis: Jerry, I warned and now I have no choice.

Jerry Lynn: You want to send Rhino after me, I guess that's fair. I'll have to
send one bad mamma jamma after you.

("Break Down The Wall" by Jim Johnston played as the crowd exploded with cheers
and Chris Jericho returned to the PWF. Jericho came to the ring and joined the Can-Am Express.)

Chris Jericho: Look what we have here. We've got Don Callis and three
assclowns. Callis, you are looking at the Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla and let
me tell you something, junior, before you start trying to run roughshod over
the PWF, I'm going to stop you dead in your tracks and kick your ass.

(Jericho dropped the microphone and pushed Callis onto his back. Storm and Lynn
hit stereo dropkicks on Edge and Christian as Jericho executed an enziguri on
Rhino and clotheslined him out of the ring. Edge pulled Callis out of the ring
as the Border City Connection left the aisle way and the Can-Am Express played
to the crowd in the ring.)

Interview:
Samoa Joe interview

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd with Paul Heyman sitting in the front of audience staring
at Joe as Joe stared back. Joe got a chair from ringside and sat down in the
ring.)

Samoa Joe: I pinned Chris Hero at the most recent PWF Showdown and I have been
informed that I am now officially the number one contender for Hero's PWF World
Heavyweight Championship at PWF Battle Final 2016. Sweeney, Albright, Steen,
Castagnoli, it really doesn't matter. Hero, come Battle Final, I will become
PWF World Heavyweight Champion even if I have to walk through the entire damn
roster. I will plant you in the ground and walk out as PWF World Heavyweight
Champion!

(The fans cheered.)

Samoa Joe: I reference the Kings of Wrestling as potential road blocks to my
quest to become PWF World Heavyweight Champion at Battle Final, but what I
didn't count on was Paul Heyman fucking around in my business. Paul, I'm
telling you right now, I'm not leaving this ring until you explain why you're
here and what you're up to, you piece of shit.

(Heyman stayed seated and continue to stare at Joe.)

Samoa Joe: Paul, I'm not interested in staring you down and I sure as hell hope
you're not thinking of doing anything. Paul, you don't hold the strings here in
the PWF.

(Heyman stayed seated and continue to stare at Joe.)

Samoa Joe: Paul, when I get up from this chair, you'll have maybe ten seconds
to get out of here before I get my hands on you. If you're going to be a
fucking weirdo and sit there as I break you in half, so be it.

(Joe got up from his chair and began to walk over towards Heyman when through
the crowd came the debuting Umaga. Umaga ran through Joe with a running hip
attack. Umaga executed the Samoan Spike on Joe as Heyman stayed in his seat,
staring at Joe. Umaga left the area as Heyman got up from his seat and left
ringside.)

Interview:
Samoa Joe interview

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd and Paul Heyman sitting in the front row, staring at Joe.)

Samoa Joe: One down and one to go for me. Kevin Steen got his ass handed to him
and how appropriate. No Larry Sweeney, no victory for the Kings of Wrestling;
pretty simple equation. Chris Hero, you and the PWF World Heavyweight
Championship are next. Now, I should be a very happy man right now, but I'm
not. I'm actually a number of things. Annoyed, confused and enraged. It all
revolves around what took place post-match at Heat of Battle.

(Joe turned toward Heyman and stared him down.)

Samoa Joe: Someone seems to feel they can send man upon man after me and I'm
not going to ask any questions. Paul, why don't you cut the shit and explain
what you're doing here.

(Heyman continued to sit in his seat, staring at Joe.)

Samoa Joe: Heyman, I told you to do something and I'd recommend you do it right
now.

(Heyman stayed seated. Joe left the ring and walked over to Heyman at ringside.)

Samoa Joe: Heyman, you don't work here, you don't manage anybody on the roster
and you have nothing to do with this company. What the fuck are you doing here?

(Heyman stayed seated, simply staring at Joe.)

Samoa Joe: If that's how you want it, fine by me.

(Joe tossed his microphone aside and grabbed Heyman by the collar. Travis Tomko
re-appeared from behind the guard rail and stood in between Joe and Heyman.
Heyman dusted himself off and sat back down. Tomko squared off with Joe. Joe
quickly began throwing fists at Tomko. Through the crowd came the debuting
Giant Bernard. Bernard jumped the guard rail and laid out Joe with a Yakuza
Kick to the point of the chin. Bernard and Tomko left the area as Heyman got
up from his seat and left ringside.)

Larry Sweeney: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I
give you the greatest technical wrestler of all-time. The excellence of
execution. Quite simply, the best there is, the best there was and the best
there ever will be: The Hitman...Brent Albright!

("Live To Win" by Motorhead played as Brent Albright came to the ring to huge
boos from the crowd.)

Brent Albright: That reaction should be reserved for Bret Hart; he's the one
who's lucky he passed out when he did, because if he didn't, I would have made
him a quadriplegic. Bret, now that I have officially ended your career, it's
time for me to move on to bigger and better things. Bret, you know the deal;
time for me to move up the ladder and leave you in the dust.

("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd.)

Bret Hart: Brent, my career isn't over and I'm not going anywhere. Brent, I
will make you a deal right here and now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a
way to beat you. Brent, PWF Battle Final is a few months away. I want you in
the ring, one more time, one-on-one. Brent, if I can't beat you at Battle
Final, I will never wrestle another match again. Brent, I'm a man of my word.
All I'm looking for is one more shot at you. If I can't beat you, I'll retire.

(Albright got right in Hart's face.)

Brent Albright: Bret, you've truly just made my year. Under normal
circumstances, I'd tell you I have nothing left to prove to you, but given the
added stipulation, it would be my pleasure to step in the ring with you one
more time and put an end to your career, once and for all.

Bret Hart: In that case, I'll see you at Battle Final.

(Hart left the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

PWF Heat of Battle 2016
August 27, 2016

-During the Steel Cage match between Samoa Joe and Kevin Steen, Paul Heyman sat
in the front of the audience. Following the match, Steen left the cage with
manager Sweeney and walked backstage. As Joe stood in the cage alone, the
lights went out, leaving everyone in confusion. As the lights came back om,
Abyss made his return to the PWF as he executed the Black Hole Slam on Joe.
Abyss kicked the cage door off it's hinges and left the area as Heyman got up
from his seat and left ringside.

-During the Falls Count Anywhere match between Brent Albright and Bret Hart,
Albright told manager Larry Sweeney to stand back and let him handle things.
Albright and Hart and brawled all over the ringside area and into the crowd.
The match went back and forth with both men gaining control at one point.
Inside the ring, Albright Irish whipped Hart into the turnbuckle and quickly
slid out of the ring. Albright tripped Hart and flipped him over. Albright
pulled Hart's legs around the ringpost and applied a ringpost figure-four to
Hart. As Hart screamed in pain, Albright could be heard mimicking Hart by
proclaiming himself "The best there is, the best there was and the best there
will be." Referee Nick Patrick tested Hart's arm and brought it up for the
three count. Hart's arm fell to the mat and Patrick called for the bell and
awarded the match to Albright. Albright released the hold and climbed back into
the ring. Albright stood over Hart and grabbed Hart's arm and held it in the
air, mocking Hart based on his statements earlier in the month.

-During the PWF World Heavyweight Championship match between champion Chris
Hero and challenger Nigel McGuinness, Larry Sweeney stood in the corner of
Hero. McGuinness applied the Thames Barrier to Hero as Sweeney jumped on the
ring apron and grabbed Referee Mike Kehner and began yelling at him regarding
his officiating work. Kings of Wrestling member Claudio Castagnoli quickly hit
the ring as Hero could be seen tapping out to McGuinness' submission hold.
Castagnoli slid into the ring and laid McGuinness out with a lariat. Castagnoli
executed the UBS Neckbreaker on McGuinness and slid out of the ring. Hero
applied the Hangman's Clutch to McGuinness as Sweeney got off the ring apron.
McGuinness passed out in the Hangman's Clutch and Hero was awarded the victory.

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to huge

Samoa Joe: This is all I can stand. Larry Sweeney! Get your ass our here right
fucking now! Let's go Sweet `N Sour! Bring it out here now!

("Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol played as Larry Sweeney walked down the aisle way
with Kevin Steen and stood in front of the ring.)

Larry Sweeney: Joey, I don't know where this hostility is coming from. You seem
to feel I'm the reason for your so-called plight. Joey, as I see it, you've
been able to wrestle the greatest wrestlers on the face of the planet in the
Kings of Wrestling. You're upset because you have lost, but you weren't ever
going to win anyway. I don't see a problem here.

Samoa Joe: Sweeney, you are one of the biggest bullshit artists I've ever come
across. If you think you're going to come out here and lure me into some false
sense of calmness, you're even stupider than I thought. Sweeney, it's quite
simple. It's Steen first and Hero next. Steen, you're first for a reason. After
I'm done caving your skull in, you can have Larry drag you back to Chris Hero
and show him his future. The only catch is that I'm not doing this thing in a
regular match. We've all seen that in a standard singles match against a member
of the Kings of Wrestling, it's nothing, but the Larry Sweeney show. Steen, you
want to be a tough guy and stand toe-to-toe with me; then do it in a Steel
Cage!

(Sweeney urged Steen to reject the offer as Steen began making his way towards
the ring. Sweeney pulled Steen back.)

Larry Sweeney: Joe, where do you come off trying to tell us how things are
going to go? We call the game, not you. Kevin Steen has already beaten you and
has nothing to prove to you.

(Steen grabbed the microphone from Sweeney.)

Kevin Steen: I accept.

(Sweeney began swearing and became enraged. Steen reassured him that it'd be
alright.)

Samoa Joe: Kevin, you're more of a man than I thought you were, but come Heat
of Battle, you're going to be nothing more than an intensive care patient.

(Joe quickly executed an elbow suicida onto Steen and Sweeney and sent both men
flying backwards. Members of security tried to break up the scuffle. Joe began
shoving members of security out of his way. Travis Tomko re-appeared and
pointed at Joe in a threating manner as Steen and Sweeney left the aisle way.
Tomko left the area as Heyman got up from his seat and left the ringside area.
Joe walked backstage.)

("Live To Win" by Motorhead played as Kings of Wrestling members Brent Albright
and Larry Sweeney came to the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

Larry Sweeney: It seems we have another problem that involves the Kings of
Wrestling. Samoa Joe is one. Joe let me tell you something right now. You ever
assault me again, I'll have you arrested. Assault and battery is not something
I have any interest in. Movin on. Nigel McGuinness has become two and Bret Hart
you're three. Right now, we're talking about you, Hart. It seems you don't
understand that you're not on the same level as Brent Albright and that when
you two step in the ring, it's time to cut the shit with these stall tactics to
squeeze out another match for yourself with "The Hitman" Brent Albright. Bret,
Brent Albright has kicked your ass two times in a row now and hasn't gotten the
victory. Bret, how about we up the ante a little bit here. We'll do something
to ensure there will be a victor. Bret, let's make the falls count anywhere and
see you stall and get yourself another match with "The Hitman." Come on, Hart,
let's see what you have left, besides a lack of sense for getting back in the
ring with Brent Albright.

("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd.)

Bret Hart: Albright, I don't even need to think twice about it. I'll be at Heat
of Battle and I'll be sure to bring my A-game with me. You see, you can spin
the first two matches anyway you like, but the fact of the matter is, you
haven't beaten me either. Albright, going to a Falls Count Anywhere match isn't
going to hinder me from breaking your back and legs. Brent, how about I bring
back a favorite of everyone's and tie you around the ring post and snap you're
knee off your body? Albright, you want to be called "The Hitman?" I'm going to
show you what happens when you get caught in the cross-hairs of the real
Hitman. See you at Heat of Battle; I'll be the guy with his hand raised.

(Albright and Sweeney laughed as Hart left the ring.)

Interview:
Greatest Stable Period interview

("Limb From Limb" by Motorhead played as the Greatest Stable Period (PWF Double
Crown Champion James Gibson, PWF World Tag Team Champions Adam Pearce &
Roderick Strong and BJ Whitmer) came to the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)

James Gibson: Quackenbush...told ya so! Ha ha! Guy thought he had his title
retained and then he stepped in the ring with yours truly who beat his ass into
the mat to become the new PWF Double Crown Champion. Now Quackenbush, I'm sure
you'll want a re-match and that's fine. Go out and make your way back up the
totem poll and I'll consider giving you a shot at my belts. These belts belong
to me and are insured by the Greatest Stable Period for their lives. These
belts aren't going anywhere, no matter how hard you try and get them back. We
are the Greatest Stable Period and I'd love to see someone try and stop us!

(The Greatest Stable Period left the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)
