9/1/18: PWF Showdown #146

Interview:
Kings of Wrestling 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.)

Larry Sweeney: It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...it's the guy who made Bret
Hart is bitch at Heat of Battle...it's Chris Hero!

(Hero did a rolling, somersault into the center of the ring and stood there
with his arms raised high in the air.)

Chris Hero: Hart, you wanted me in a match, you got me and you realized you had
no chance and you turned our wrestling match into a glorified street fight
which ended in a no-contest. Bret, you screwed the fans out of a match and you
should be ashamed of yourself. Bret, if you think you're going to simply pummel
me into submission and I'm going to run and hide, you're stuck in 1997, old
man. You can't kill superman and you can't kill Chris Hero. Hart, like I've
told you before: anytime, any place, anywhere. I'm not hard to find, I'm the
guy with the company on his back and your career in his hands.

(Hart stormed to the ring and tackled Hero. Castagnoli, Steen and Sweeney tried
to pull Hart off of Hero, but were met with resistance as Hero and Hart rolled
around the ring, trading fists. PWF officials and agents hit the ring and broke
up the scuffle as the Kings of Wrestling left the ring with Hero taunting
Hart.)

Interview:
Bolin Services interview

("Woke Up This Morning" by A3 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: First and foremost, it's time to pay our respects to the
heavyweight champion of the world. This man does not have to be here. He has
decided to be here tonight, only because I asked him to be. He could just as
easily be signing autographs throughout the country, but as a star he
understands, he has certain obligations as champion and thus, Matt Sydal is
standing here before all of you.

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

Kenny Bolin: Typical reaction from a group of your basic assholes. Moving away
from the negative attitudes of all of you fans in attendance, Bolin Services
feels it necessary to note that the greatest tag team champions of all-time are
set to place their title belts at stake in the PWF Tag League. There are seven
spots available in the PWF Tag League. The top seed is of course occupied by
Mr. Rave and Mr. Matthews. If any other tag teams wish to made examples of, by
all means, sign up and be prepared to be made stars by Bolin Services. The
other topic is that of the champion and the challenger for the PWF World
Heavyweight Championship. Ken Doane, I hold no distaste for your loss to Adam
Pearce, I'm almost happy it took place. Happy? Yes. I'm happy because now Adam
Pearce has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Adam Pearce is going to be shown
what it means to be a champion, what it means to be a star and it means to be a
legend courtesy of Matt Sydal. Pearce! PWF Tag League is the stage. The PWF
World Heavyweight Championship is the prize. Defeat is your mission. Mr.
Pearce, Matt Sydal is going to kick your ass!

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