1/13/18: PWF Showdown #128

Interview:
Kings of Wrestling interview

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

Larry Sweeney: I can speak for every man standing in this right, when I say,
I'm stick and fucking tired of new members of this organization joining us and
falling flat on their face! Four members, three members, it doesn't matter any
more. Quite frankly, I think the three men standing behind me in this ring can
go up against any stable in the PWF today and beat them into the ground! This
is a complete unit and a group of men who will not stand for the bullshit that
has begun to surround the PWF! Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli and Kevin Steen
are going to show all you fools out there what it means to be a King of
Wrestling! Nobody comes in my backyard and gets out without being taught a
lesson! That goes for any man who wants to tango with the Kings of Wrestling,
because now, it's our time to teach everybody else a lesson!

(Sweeney tossed the microphone down as the Kings of Wrestling left the ring.)

Interview:
Capital Regime interview

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

Brent Albright: Pretty impressive work by Chris Jericho and Edge, I'd say. Not
only did they decide to cost me my chance of becoming the PWF World Heavyweight
Champion; they screwed over Adam Pearce and then failed to deliver on capturing
the crown. Boys, if you're going to make a stand and join up as lowlifes, fine,
but you then have to deliver and in my book, you two fell short and did
nothing, but put a giant bulls eye on your backs. Can-Am Connection, you want a
war, all you had to do was tell us. Instead, you decided to launch your
missiles without warning. A good sneak always brings out the best in the man
who is getting attacked. If you two expect me to roll over and die just because
you two want me two, then you're even stupider than you look. Jericho, Edge,
anytime you want. Any place you want. I'll be there and I'll be packing a group
of very pissed off men with me. If you two want to be cowards, then it's real
simple: get out...or tap out!

(Albright threw the microphone aside and left the ring with the rest of the
Capital Regime to cheers from the crowd.)

Interview:
Kennedy Alliance interview

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

Ken Kennedy: On one hand, I am disappointed with my performance at PWF Battle
Final 2017. I failed to bring the PWF World Heavyweight Championship to where
it belongs: around my waist! However, on the other hand, I was successful in
ending the reign of Samoa Joe. Joe, anyway you slice it, that is what happened
and there isn't a damn thing you can do to change that. I beat Samoa Joe and
I'm finished with him. I have nothing left to prove to you, Joe, and in my
book, I never did. Toppling the PWF World Heavyweight Champion is my job and
the new PWF World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart is next. The difference
between what happened between Joe and I and what will happen between Bret and
I, is that when I topple The Hitman, I will walk away as PWF World Heavyweight
Champion.

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: You're through with me? Kennedy, you may be finished with me, but
guess what? I'm not finished with you. You pinned my shoulders to the mat and
were responsible for ending my year-long reign as PWF World Heavyweight Champion. Kennedy, you came after me and now it's my turn to come after you.
I'm not going to be finished with you until I choke you the fuck out and leave
you for dead in the fucking ring!

Ken Kennedy: Joe, I have no further business with you and will not be stepping
in the ring with you ever again. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself.

(Joe threw the microphone down and went after Kennedy. Finlay and Abyss grabbed
Joe as Kennedy, Umaga, Bernard, Tomko and Heyman left the ring and made their
way backstage. Abyss held Joe as Finlay began throwing punches at Joe. Joe took
Abyss over with a shoulder-throw and hit an exploder suplex on Finlay. Joe
tossed Abyss off the ropes and hit him with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex.
Joe spat on both Finlay and Abyss and left the ring to huge cheers from the
crowd.)
