12/1/18: PWF Showdown #152

Interview:
Bolin Services interview

("Woke Up This Morning" by A-3 played as Bolin Services: PWF World Heavyweight
Champion Matt Sydal, PWF World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Rave & Joey Matthews,
Ken Doane and Kenny Bolin came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Kenny Bolin: Battle Final is upon us and slotted in the main event against the
star himself Matt Sydal are Brent Albright and Adam Pearce in a Triangle Match
for the PWF World Heavyweight Championship.

(The fans cheered the announcement.)

Kenny Bolin: It comes as no surprise to me that neither Pearce nor Albright
could defeat the other man; they are similar men in that neither one of them
has got what it takes to win it all. We've already seen Pearce fall flat on his
face against Matt Sydal and now we get to see Albright get his greasy ass
kicked from pillar to post by the champion. Albright, everybody knows you're a
cunning, manipulative man, but you're looking at the guy who wrote the
definition. So, don't think for a second that Matt Sydal is going to lured in
by your bullshit and help you get rid of Adam Pearce. Gunner, this isn't a team
effort and there will be no deal struck between Bolin Services and the likes of
you. It's each man for himself and the best man will win. It just so happens,
the best man is standing right next to me.

(Sydal held the PWF World Heavyweight Championship belt high in the air as the fans booed him.)

Kenny Bolin: Pearce, as I stated, we've been down this road before with you.
There's a saying: the more things change, the more they stay the same. That is
exactly what we're dealing with right now, "Scrap Iron." Sure, you pinned Sydal
in a six-man tag team match, but everybody knows when it comes down to crunch
time with the title on the line, you run and hide while Matt Sydal reigns
supreme. Pearce, it's simply how the world functions. The strong survive while
the weak perish. Gentlemen, we'll see you at Battle Final and we'll be packing
a wallop (Bolin tapped his briefcase and smirked).

(Bolin Services left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Chris Hero-Bret Hart interview

("Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler played as the Kings of Wrestling:
Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Kevin Steen and Larry Sweeney came to the ring
to boos from the crowd.)

Chris Hero: By now, every jackass in this arena should understand what I'm out
here to say. Battle Final is on the way and so is the showdown between the
Hitman and the Hero. Hart! Battle Final, I want your ass in this ring and I
won't take no for an answer!

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

Bret Hart: Hero, first and foremost, don't you dare come out here and try and
pretend you're a tough guy. You and I both know, you're a coward who wants
nothing to do with me inside the ring. You run and hide behind your group of
lackeys. However, I want to put an end to this more than you have any idea, so
I'll do you one better. Battle Final: Hero vs. Hart inside a Steel Cage.

(The fans exploded with cheers.)

Chris Hero: Hitman, you just made the mistake of your life, pal. If you think I
need help kicking your ass all over the ring, then old age really is kicking
in. Hart, I will gladly grind your face off the cold hard steel and walk over
your bleeding body the victor!

Bret Hart: Hero, you're always a lot of talk and little action. Chris, Battle
Final, this will finally be over when I teach you a lesson in humility.

Chris Hero: Hitman, regardless of what you may think, this will never, ever
truly be over.

(Hero tossed the microphone aside and left the ring with the Kings of
Wrestling.)
