10/7/17: PWF Showdown CXXI

Interview:
Capital Regime interview

("Live To Win" by Motorhead played as Capital Regime: Brent Albright, Chris
Benoit, Dean Malenko and Austin Aries came to the ring to cheers from the
crowd.)

Brent Albright: PWF Tag League didn't go as planned, but PWF WarGames is fast
approaching and the Capital Regime intends upon staking claim to the top spot
in the PWF. Short memory is important in matters like this. Kennedy Alliance,
Kings, GSP, whomever we draw, we're not going to stand back and let you
scumbags do whatever you want to us and pin our shoulders. It's a matter of
survival in the WarGames cage and I personally look forward to the opportunity.

Chris Benoit: Brent Albright is right in this case. PWF WarGames, the Capital
Regime is bringing The Gun For Hire, The Shooter, one very determined Austin
Aries and yours truly, The Crippler inside the cage with no escape and we're
going to run the faces of each stable in the PWF across the steel cage, ripping
their faces open and making them see their own crimson until they can't see
anymore. PWF WarGames, the Capital Regime shows everyone in the PWF how you
take control of a situation. Now, on to an entirely different topic. I was
speaking with Brent Albright and have been since I returned to the PWF about a
certain something that took place at PWF Battle Final 2016. I've convinced
Brent to go to the PWF officials and they've agreed that it's about time a
certain somebody came back to the PWF where he belongs. I know he's not going
to like the pomp and circumstance surrounding all of this, but I hope he also understands
that for all intents and purposes, this is his company and it's not
the same without him. Hitman, come on down here.

("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart returned to the PWF to a
thunderous ovation from the crowd. Hart walked to the ring and squared off with
Albright and Benoit.)

Bret Hart: Albright, Benoit, I've dealt with both of in the PWF at one point or
another as friends and then enemies. Us being enemies was both your choosing.
You felt the need to stab me in the back, but both of those situations are long
past and I hold no ill-will. I can see you two have finally straightened
yourselves out and gotten your heads out of your asses.

(The fans cheered Hart.)

Bret Hart: Albright, I do commend you, you put your heart and mind to getting
rid of me and you did it. You wasted far too much on trying to rid me from the
PWF when you should have been fixated on what matters, your own pride and
respect. Brent, I don't want to say I don't respect you, because you have
pulled yourself away from the likes of Chris Hero and have become one of the
top dogs in the PWF, but I'm back in the PWF which I should have never left and
I invented the fucking top spot.

(The fans cheered Hart.)

Bret Hart: Albright, I'd just like to thank you for our match from last
December and wish you luck from here on out, because now, I'm not going
anywhere.

(Hart nodded in a show of respect to Chris Benoit and left the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Interview:
Border City Connection interview

(Backstage, the Border City Connection (Edge, Christian, Rhino, CM Punk and Don
Callis) stood backstage with interviewer Gene Okerlund.)

Don Callis: I'll be the first to admit, that things haven't gone as I laid them
out for the Border City Connection thus far, but we're still here and we're not
giving up.

Edge: As I see it, the PWF is up for grabs and at PWF WarGames, it comes to a
head. PWF WarGames decides the PWF Quadrathlon Survivor Champions, which means
it determines the most powerful faction in the PWF today! If you took a poll
amongst everybody in the arena right now, they'd proclaim that the Border City
boys have no chance of walking out of WarGames with the crown. The thing is,
everyone sees us as nothing more than a low level, group of guys who are trying
to proclaim their position in the PWF. If that's how everyone wants to see us,
then good luck to everybody when we show up at WarGames and walk out, shocking
the world and planting our flag at the top of the mountain!

(Border City Connection left the area.)

Interview:
Kennedy Alliance interview

("Ghost of the Navigator" by Iron Maiden played as the Kennedy Alliance: Ken
Kennedy, Dave Finlay, Umaga, Abyss, PWF World Tag Team Champions Giant Bernard
and Travis Tomko came to the ring with Paul Heyman to boos from the crowd.)

Ken Kennedy: WarGames is on the forefront and I have my soldiers prepared to do
battle. The rest of the PWF is bracing itself for a fight to the death where
only the top dog survives. It's a battle of survival. It's a battle to
determine who is the very best in the PWF. It's a struggle for power and it's a
struggle for supremacy. The last team standing stakes its claim to the top of
the PWF crown. The last team standing gains bragging rights to firing the first
salvo in the war to settle the score. The last team standing steps over his
bleeding foe and drags their blood from his boot. The last team standing can
only be an alliance that is built on the grounds of destruction. Standing
beaten and battered, yet victorious is the group of men standing in this ring.
The last team standing will shake off all of the doubters and prove to the
world that my Alliance are the top dogs.

(Kennedy laid the microphone on the mat and led his faction out of the ring.)
