3/2/19: PWF Showdown #158

Interview:
Brent Albright & Erick Stevens interview

("Live To Win" by Motorhead played as PWF World Heavyweight Champion Brent
Albright and Erick Stevens came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Brent Albright: I'm not quite sure what Adam Pearce and Bret Hart are still
doing messing with yours truly and Erick Stevens. We've already proven to the
world that Pearce and Hart are no match whatsoever for the duo standing in this
ring, yet they keep coming back for more. Gentlemen, you two just don't get it,
I suppose. Fellas, that's why I've taken the liberty of making it very easy for
everybody involves. At PWF Battle Lines it's going be Adam Pearce and Bret Hart
against Brent Albright and Erick Stevens inside a Steel Cage Match!

(The fans cheered the mention of the match.)

Brent Albright: Scrap Iron, you want to prove that you're a champion and that
you've got what it takes to stand toe to toe with me, fine. You show up at
Battle Lines and you show me exactly what you're made of, because from here,
you're made of glass and you're nothing, but a wannabe who can't lace my boots!

(Albright handed the microphone to Stevens.)

Erick Stevens: Hey, Hitman. Make sure you're well prepared for Battle Lines and
take your place on the mat, shoulders flush as I cover you for yet another
victory. No shame, Hitman, everybody loses once and awhile; in this case, you
seem to be losing a lot more often and usual.

(Stevens laughed as the crowd booed him. Albright and Stevens left the ring.)

Interview:
Dangerous Alliance interview

("Iron Fist" by Motorhead played as Lou E. Dangerously led the Dangerous
Alliance: Giant Bernard & Travis Tomko to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Lou E. Dangerously: I've had enough of this and I'm not going to stand for it
anymore! Two schumcks like Brian Kendrick and Paul London have no business
being PWF World Tag Team Champions. Once again, they pulled another fluke out
of their asses and walked out of SuperClash with the title belts. I'm not
standing for this anymore! Cornette, get your ass out here!

(PWF Owner Jim Cornette came to the ring.)

Lou E. Dangerously: Cornette, Giant Bernard and Travis Tomko want another Tag
Team Championship match and they want it right now!

Jim Cornette: Lou E., Bernard and Tomko lost fair and square at SuperClash and
have no claim to a re-match. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong are challenging
Brian Kendrick and Paul London for the PWF World Tag Team Championship at PWF
Battle Lines, not Giant Bernard and Travis Tomko.

Lou E. Dangerously: Jimmy, I'm going to let you preface your statements by
awarding my two guys what is rightfully theirs: a PWF World Tag Team
Championship match.

Jim Cornette: Lou E., I already told you, Bernard and Tomko aren't in line for
a title match.

Lou E. Dangerously: Jimmy, you disappoint me and you've also pissed me off.

(Dangerously broke his cell phone over the head of Cornette as the crowd
booed.)

Lou E. Dangerously: Fine! You have it your way, Cornette, but I'll tell you
this right now, there ain't a chance in hell either one of those two teams are
leaving Battle Lines under their own power!

(Dangerously led Bernard and Tomko out of the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Chris Benoit-Rocky Romero interview

("Whatever" by Our Lady Peace played as Chris Benoit came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Chris Benoit: The PWF has always been about fierce competition. I know, I've
been here from the start and have been at the top. It has always been about
being able to compete at a top level and at PWF SuperClash. I wrestled a man
who has been going un-noticed in the PWF, despite being a champion. Rocky
Romero took me to the limit and proved to me he has a right to stake claim to
being the best there is in this circuit.

("Lo Que Paso Paso" by Daddy Yankee by played as PWF Openweight Champion Rocky
Romero came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Rocky Romero: Benoit, I appreciate your words and respect. I have been busting
my ass to be recognized as one of the best this circuit has to offer and it's
only fitting a guy like you finally let everyone know about it.

(Benoit and Romero shook hands as the crowd cheered. Benoit held Romero's arm
up in the air and left the ring with him.)

Interview:
Bolin Services interview

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

Kenny Bolin: I told you all that Matty was going to be Double Crown Champion
and you didn't want to believe me. Well, Matt Sydal is the new PWF Double Crown
Champion and all of you people are going to have to live with it!

(The fans booed Bolin.)

Kenny Bolin: Quacky was a nice little champ once, twice and now three times!
Quack, it seems you're real good at winning the prize, just not holding onto
it. That's alright though, every circuit needs somebody likes you. You know
that guy who lets everyone down. What's done is done and it's now time to
continue building the legacy of "The Star Himself" Matt Sydal!

(Sydal posed with his titles as the fans booed him. Bolin led his stable out of
the ring to boos from the crowd.)
