3/3/18: PWF Showdown #131

Interview:
Kennedy Alliance interview

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

Paul Heyman: Failure. The state or condition of not meeting a desirable or
intended objective. Standing around me is the definition of the word failure.
It saddens me to have to speak like this, but I'm tired of being a liar.
Bullshit seems to follow me and it's not my ideal situation. I've stood back
and bit my tounge. It starts at the top and trickles down to all of us. An
elite unit of men doesn't wilt and settle for second place. Settling for
something is a natural move for most people, but not I. The Kennedy Alliance
was put together to destroy opposition and all we have done is allow group
upon group to rise up and overtake us. Failure will no longer be tolerated.

(Heyman hung his head and handed the microphone to Kennedy.)

Ken Kennedy: I hold myself personally responsible for the failure to achieve
our ultimate goal and will continue to hold myself responsible until we reach
the top of the mountain. Samoa Joe, vanquished. Bret Hart is still breathing.
His heart is still beating and his blood still flows through his body. Bret,
you're still breathing because you carry the PWF World Heavyweight
Championship. The moment that title is taken from you, you will be brought out
back and shot in the back of the head. Bret, you're life line is why I wake up
in the morning and is what will either be the death of me or my ultimate
victory.

(Kennedy dropped his microphone as Samoa Joe quickly hit the ring and lunged at
Kennedy. Umaga and Abyss intercepted Joe and began beating him down. Kennedy,
Finlay, Bernard, Tomko and Heyman left the ring. Umaga and Abyss worked over
Joe as Joe got to his feet. Joe fought off both men with kicks and chops. Joe
applied the rear naked choke to Abyss and suplexed him. Joe caught Umaga with
a boot to the face and suplexed him over the top rope. Joe left Kennedy
Allance members Umaga and Abyss laying as he left the ring to cheers from the
crowd.)

Interview:
Adam Pearce-Brent Albright confrontation

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

Brent Albright: Losing focus on the true problem isn't something I'm pleased
with doing, but maybe, just maybe it's for the best. Maybe the problem is in
fact Adam Pearce and not the Can-Am Connection. Adam Perace, we've never had a
problem until only very recently. We went in with the same plan: take down
Chris Jericho and Edge. Now, there's a rift in out make-shift partnership.
Pearce, if that's how you want it, fine. Everyone in the PWF knows I'm up for a
good spat and everyone also knows what happens when I'm involved in one: I
win.

("Limb From Limb" by Motorhead played as Adam Pearce came to the ring to a
mixture of cheers and boos from the crowd.)

Adam Pearce: Albright, it amazes me you've been able to fool so many people
into believing you're a nice guy. You proved what you were when you hooked up
with Bret Hart. Now, everyone simply forgets all of that. Brent, you're a
scumbag. You know it and I know it. You want to be a scumbag, go right ahead,
but if you try and pull your shit with me, I'll leave you wherever I find you.

(Albright stepped toe to toe with Pearce.)

Brent Albright: You tell me where and when, I'll be there and I'll be the guy
standing over you as you lie on the mat.

(Pearce smirked at Albright and sighed as Albright took a swing at him. Pearce
quickly got his hands up and took Albright down to the mat. Pearce applied a
Fujiwara armbar to Albright as the crowd rose to their feet with cheers.
Albright fought his way out of the hold and slid out of the ring. Pearce
pointed and yelled at Albright as Albright collected himself and left the
ringside area to boos from the crowd.)
