Interview:
Celtic Gang interview
("Shoot `Em Down" by Motorhead played as The Celtic Gang (PWF World Heavyweight
Champion Dave Finlay, PWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Kennedy, Chris Benoit,
Steve Regal, David Taylor, Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams) came to the ring
to huge boos from the crowd.)
Dave Finlay: You people would shut your mouths if you knew what was good for
you!
(The fans booed Finlay.)
Dave Finlay: As PWF World Heavyweight Champion I don't listen to anybody. I
dictate how things will go in the PWF and as things stands right now, despite
some lack of cooperation from the likes of Bret Hart, Bryan Danielson and Davey
Richards, things are going as planned. Kennedy, that's Mr. Kennedy to you
people is the reigning PWF Intercontinental Champion. Regal & Taylor, along
with McGuinness and Williams assure me they will cut the shit and work their
way back to the top of the tag team heap. Last but, not least, Chris Benoit.
Benoit took your hero and has reduced him to nothing more than a crazed,
lunatic who has no trust for anybody anymore. Benoit has crippled Bret Hart's
mind and all that remains is crippling his body!
(Finlay handed the microphone to Kennedy.)
Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, I need no introduction and will never
require one. As soon as you see me walking to the ring, you realize: pay close
attention, we are watching greatness. Davey Richards, Mr. Champions Cup, Mr.
Wannabe, doesn't seem to understand that it'd be easier for him to tuck his
tail between his legs and walk away. He insists on getting in my way as some
plan of his to achieve greatness based off of yours truly. Richards, I'm
warning you, stay out of my business, or you're going to be reduced to nothing
more than another mark in the record book for MISTERRRRRRR
KENNEDY......KENNEDY!
(The fans booed Kennedy. Kennedy handed the microphone to Benoit.)
Chris Benoit: Bret, you didn't really think I'd let you get in the ring with
Finlay, try and cheat with some ringpost figure-four and allow that, did you?
Bret, you're never going to be PWF World Heavyweight Champion again. Bret,
you're never going to be the top dog again. Bret, you're never going to be a
damn thing again, because I won't allow it!
(As Benoit was speaking, Bret Hart ran to the ring and quickly tackled Benoit
to huge cheers from the crowd. Regal and Taylor tried to pull Hart off of
Benoit, but were met with resistence. Regal and Taylor finally pulled Hart off
of Benoit and held his arms behind his back.)
Chris Benoit: Hitman, you want to do this now, fine. I'll finish it now.
(Benoit slapped Hart across the face.)
Chris Benoit: What's that, Bret? You're finished? Thought so.
(Hart spit in Benoit's face.)
Chris Benoit: That's treason as far as this group of men are concerned.
(Benoit began pummeling Hart with fists to the face. Hart low-blowed Taylor and
elbowed Regal in the jaw. Hart tackled Benoit as the fans went wild. Kennedy
grabbed Hart and held him in a full-nelson.)
Dave Finlay: That's enough of this bullshit! Benoit, finish this son-of-a-bitch
right now!
(As Benoit approached Hart, Bryan Danielson and Davey Richards hit the ring and
cleaned house on The Celtic Gang. Danielson helped Hart to his feet, but Hart
quickly pulled away from Danielson and left the ring alone.)

Interview:
Triple H & Shawn Michaels interview
("The Game" by Motorhead played as Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to the
ring.)
Triple H: I've been gone from the PWF for far too long. I was long overdue for
a comeback and rather than coming back alone, I brought a good friend of mine
with me, in Shawn Michaels. You see, Shawn and I aren't here to waste time.
We're not here to be involved with pointless matches. Shawn and I are here to
rise to the top of the PWF as fast as anyone has. You people forget, I am a
former PWF World Heavyweight Champion and I helped build this company. Chris
Hero and Claudio Castagnoli like to call themselves the "Kings of Wrestling."
Bullshit. You're looking at the "King of Kings" and when teamed up with "The
Heartbreak Kid," there is no more lethal combination than Triple H and HBK!
Shawn Michaels: Last go-round in the PWF for me was simply a personal issue
with Bret Hart. We're not going there now and probably won't go there ever
again. Fact is, as Hunter stated, we're here with a purpose and that purpose is
to etch our names at the top of the PWF by going through the best the PWF has
to offer: the Kings of Wrestling. Hero, Castagnoli, you two have run through
the PWF for a long time now and now it's time for someone to run through you.
Triple H: You mess with best, you die like the rest. I am "The Game" and this
game won't be over until I say so.
(Triple H and Michaels left the ring.)

PWF Showdown 2014
February 25, 2014
-During the Can-Am Express (Lance Storm & Jerry Lynn) vs. Samoa Joe and Takeshi
Morishima tag team match, Morishima connected with a spinning side slam on a
charging Lynn. Morishima made the cover as PWF referee John Finnegean counted
to two as Morishima was pulled out of the ring by returning Kurt Angle. Angle
hit a belly to belly suplex on Morishima and tossed him into the ring as a
returning Steve Austin pulled Joe off the ring apron and Stone Cold Stunnered
him. Lynn hit a flying elbowdrop as Finnegean regained control of the match and
counted the fall, awarding the match to Storm & Lynn.
-During the ALXchange (Ken Doane & Johnny Nitro) vs. Kings of Wrestling (Chris
Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) tag team match, Doane & Nitro's manager Don Callis
tripped Hero as he came off the ropes. Hero grabbed Callis and pulled him into
the ring. PWF referee Jim Mollineux tried to break up the scuffle between Hero
and Callis as the returning Triple H (with sledgehammer in hand) and Shawn
Michaels hopped the guardrail. Triple H nailed Hero & Castagnoli's manager
Larry Sweeney with a hard fist. Michaels pulled Castagnoli off the ring apron
and superkicked him. Hero went after Triple H and Michaels. Hero leaned through
the ropes to grab ahold of Triple H, but was smashed in the face with the
sledgehammer from Triple H to the blindside of Mollineux. Doane caught Hero and
rolled him up for a pin as Mollineux counted the fall and awarded the match to
Doane & Nitro.
-During the PWF World Heavyweight Championship match between champion Dave
Finlay and challenger Bret Hart, Chris Benoit came to the ring and stood at
ringside smiling at Hart as Hart stared at him with rage. Hart connected with
an elbow drop from the second rope and began to apply the Sharpshooter on
Finlay. As Hart stepped through with the Sharpshooter, Benoit nailed Hart in
the face with a elbow smash to the blindside of PWF referee Nick Patrick.
Finlay got to his feet and executed the Celtic Cross on Hart. Patrick counted
the fall and awarded the match to Finlay. Following the match, Finlay and
Benoit left the ring to huge boos from the crowd. Hart completely flipped out.
Hart grabbed Patrick by the collar and knocked him out with a fist. Hart ripped
apart the ringside area and finally left the ring, enraged and pissed as the
fans cheered him.

Bret Hart interview
("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret Hart came to the ring to huge
cheers from the crowd.)
Bret Hart: You know, you work hard at something to be the best. You reach the
top and all you get to listen to and see are other people trying to tear you
down. I've been a professional wrestler my entire life and I'm sick and tired
of being torn down. Chris Benoit, I used to think of you as a brother. You were
a confidant. You traveled with me, we roomed together and we trained together.
Benoit, I used to hold you in high regard as a man I'd trust with my life. Now
I see you for what you really are, a no good piece of shit.
(The fans cheered.)
Bret Hart: Benoit! You turning your back on me was the best thing that could
have happened, because now, not only am I watching my own back, I don't have
anyone around me to stick a knife through my back. Chris, you want to claim to
have me on your list. Chris, I've got a list of my own and you're the first
name from the top. Chris, don't think that surrounding yourself with scumbags
like The Celtic Gang is going to stop me from getting my hands on your neck and
choking the life out of you. Chris, we will be in the ring together, one-on-one
and I'm not walking out of the ring until I snap your legs in two. Chris, I
thought you were one guy I could count on not to screw me over, but I guess
you're just like everyone else: looking out for your own best interests. From here on out, it's time for the Hitman to start looking out for his own best
interests and show to the entire PWF that he is still the best there is, the
best there was the best there ever will be!
(Hart left the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Chris Benoit: Bret, this is your fault, not mine. Your inability to lead us to victory forced me here today. Bret, you were holding me back and now for your
own well being, it's best you hold yourself back from coming out here and
getting your ass handed to you by a throng of Celtic Gang members. Bret, when I
broke that steel chair across your skull, it was the greatest thing that I

CM Punk: Oh, big and bad "Nature Boy" Ric Flair thought he was going to walk
into Battle Final and beat me. Naitch, you're in way over your head this time
around. Ric, you're not up against one guy with three men behind you. With me,
comes my Horsemen and Ric, last time I checked, we're fully capable to kick
your ass anytime we please.
("The Four Horsemen" by WCW played as The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, BJ Whitmer
and PWF World Tag Team Champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) to the
ring to huge cheers from the crowd.)
Ric Flair: PUNK! You want to mock me and try to embarass me by duplicating me
in the ring! Punk, why don't you go back to training and get yourself together
before you come at me with a bunch of bullshit about being "the man." Punk,
you're nothing. Not only was Battle Final a fluke, but I'm going to show you
right now what happens when you piss me off...
(Flair approached Punk as "Fire" by Scooter played. Steve Corino walked to the ring
followed by C.W. Anderson, Barry Windham and John Bradshaw Layfield to the shock of the crowd.)
Steve Corino: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Gentlemen, let's take a nice step back from
this hostile situation so I can introduce the PWF to my Extreme Horsemen!
Ladies and gentlemen, my enforcer, "The Enforcer" C.W. Anderson! When it comes
down to a wrecking crew, nobody is going to screw around with Barry Windham and
John Bradshaw Layfield! Not to mention, that you are all witnesses to the
return of "The King of Old School" Steve Corino!
(The fans gave Corino a mixed reaction.)
CM Punk: Corino, what the fuck do you think you're doing here? You don't
wrestle here anymore and the last time we hooked up in the ring, I kicked your
ass and took your title from you.
Steve Corino: Punk, that was a long time ago and you out here spouting some
bullshit about The New Four Horsemen is the biggest crock of shit I've ever
heard. Punk, Flair, you two want a war Horsemen style, you come and find me
and my Extreme Horsemen and we'll show you how it's down. I've assembled the
most deadly group of Horsemen ever thought up and you two fools don't just have
each other to watch out for now, because I'm stepping in the middle here and
making sure the real Horsemen reign supreme.
Ric Flair: Never before have I been involved with two guys so badly wanting to
tear me down, yet not understanding what they'r getting into. Punk, Corino,
you're looking at Mr. Horsemen as far as I'm concerned and if you two want to
screw around with me, you're in for a world of pain. Woo!
(Corino cheapshotted Flair as all three Horsemen groups went at it. Corino,
Punk and Flair exchanged blows as Windham and Layfield laid out The Briscoe
Brothers and Aries & Strong. Anderson lariated both Gibson and Whitmer.
Corino low blowed Punk and poked Flair in the eyes. Corino tossed both men on
top of their respective groups and left the ring with his Extreme Horsemen.)

and PWF World Tag Team Champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) to the
ring to huge cheers from the crowd.)
Ric Flair: PUNK! You want to mock me and try to embarass me by duplicating me
in the ring! Punk, why don't you go back to training and get yourself together
before you come at me with a bunch of bullshit about being "the man." Punk,
you're nothing. Not only was Battle Final a fluke, but I'm going to show you
right now what happens when you piss me off...
(Flair approached Punk as "Fire" by Scooter played. Steve Corino walked to the ring
followed by C.W. Anderson, Barry Windham and John Bradshaw Layfield to the shock of the crowd.)
Steve Corino: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Gentlemen, let's take a nice step back from
this hostile situation so I can introduce the PWF to my Extreme Horsemen!
Ladies and gentlemen, my enforcer, "The Enforcer" C.W. Anderson! When it comes
down to a wrecking crew, nobody is going to screw around with Barry Windham and
John Bradshaw Layfield! Not to mention, that you are all witnesses to the
return of "The King of Old School" Steve Corino!
(The fans gave Corino a mixed reaction.)
CM Punk: Corino, what the fuck do you think you're doing here? You don't
wrestle here anymore and the last time we hooked up in the ring, I kicked your
ass and took your title from you.
Steve Corino: Punk, that was a long time ago and you out here spouting some
bullshit about The New Four Horsemen is the biggest crock of shit I've ever
heard. Punk, Flair, you two want a war Horsemen style, you come and find me
and my Extreme Horsemen and we'll show you how it's down. I've assembled the
most deadly group of Horsemen ever thought up and you two fools don't just have
each other to watch out for now, because I'm stepping in the middle here and
making sure the real Horsemen reign supreme.
Ric Flair: Never before have I been involved with two guys so badly wanting to
tear me down, yet not understanding what they'r getting into. Punk, Corino,
you're looking at Mr. Horsemen as far as I'm concerned and if you two want to
screw around with me, you're in for a world of pain. Woo!
(Corino cheapshotted Flair as all three Horsemen groups went at it. Corino,
Punk and Flair exchanged blows as Windham and Layfield laid out The Briscoe
Brothers and Aries & Strong. Anderson lariated both Gibson and Whitmer.
Corino low blowed Punk and poked Flair in the eyes. Corino tossed both men on
top of their respective groups and left the ring with his Extreme Horsemen.)

Dave Finlay: The day is approaching. Bret Hart, the clock tolls for thee as
the PWF World Heavyweight Championship slips from your grasp and belongs to me.
To be World Heavyweight Champion, you must be a machine who is willing to
sacrifice himself for the good of his belt. To be World Heavyweight Champion is
to live and die for victory. Defeat is unacceptable and once you are defeated,
you lose all you fought for. To be World Heavyweight Champion is all I can be
and all I must be. Bret, you call yourself the "Hitman," but the thing is,
you're the one with the bullseye on your back. "Hitman?" I think not. PWF World
Heavyweight Champion? Not for much longer. Bret, I watching you and I will not
be defeated. Time is ticking, Bret. Enjoy your title while you have it.

Punk you've got nothing on me and you never will. Punk, I've been in this
business for forty years. I've seen them come and seen them go. I've stood the
test of time and will be damned to watch you run around and pretend to be me.
Punk, you're making this personal as you try to run me down and I'm not going
to stand for. Punk, I've got my troops and you've got yours. Punk, if you think
you're going to beat me at my own game, I don't deserve to be called "the man."
I'll see you in hell, Punk!
("Miseria Cantare" by AFI played as The New Four Horsemen (CM Punk, James
Gibson and The Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe)) came to the ring to boos

concerned. You're not "the man." You're not the "dirtiest player in the game."
You're not "the sixty-minute man." You're nothing, but a piece of shit. Flair,
your day is gone and my day is now. Flair, if you think you're ill-conceived Horsemen can my Horsemen and I down, you're a fucking idiot. Flair, I'll be

shoulders are pinned to the mat: one-two-three!

Kennedy Steve Regal, David Taylor, Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams standing

Dave Finlay: Steve, while I'm not pleased with your loss at the Tag League,
it's not entirely your fault. Those PWF World Tag Team Titles are yours and
the PWF had no right to have you vacate those titles and place them up for
grabs in that tournament. Steve, David, Nigel and Doug. I've known you four men
for a long time. You're not Sabin. Sabin was weak and couldn't help us. You
four are the core of this thing and I need you to have your heads on straight.
WarGames is coming up and we've got Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Bryan Danielson
and Davey Richards locked inside a steel cage. The PWF has made a mistake
thinking they can lock those four in a cage with us and level the playing
field. It only increases our chances. I am the boss and from now on, we will
decide when and who we wrestle and when we don't. Ken, you are the PWF
Intercontinental Champion and make sure you protect that strap. I will be PWF
World Heavyweight Champion soon enough and we will control this company.
Disperse.

Interview:
The New Four Horsemen interview
("The Four Horsemen" played as The New Four Horsemen (CM Punk, James Gibson and
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe)) came to the ring to boos from the
crowd.)
CM Punk: Woo!
(The fans booed Punk.)
CM Punk: "The Nature Boy" is stylin' and profilin all over the PWF ring! Woo!
How many of you ladies in the crowd would like to come on backstage and a take
a ride on Space Mountain. It may be the oldest tide in the park, but...but it's
fucking broken! Flair, you piece of shit, coward. You think you can hide and
keep clear of my Horsemen, you're sadly mistaken. Flair, if you don't come on
down here and get yours, then we'll find you and beat those seventeen world
heavyweight titles right out of your mind, naitch!
(The fans booed Punk as "2001: A Space Odyssey" by The Vangelis played to huge
cheers from the crowd. Ric Flair walked to the ring.)
Ric Flair: CM Punk, I saw you put your New Four Horsemen together and I've got
to say, you've done a helluva job. James Gibson, The Briscoe Brothers and
yourself, I feel it's almost a waste of time for me to even be out here, but
here I am. You see, Punk, I've said it time and time again, to be the man, you've gotta beat the man. Punk, last time I checked, you haven't done a damn
thing to beat me and you're not going to. Punk, you want a war, you've got one!
Let me introduce you to my Four Horsemen.
("The Four Horsemen" played as BJ Whitmer came to the ring and stood next to
Flair to cheers from the crowd.)
Ric Flair: Punk, you want to call James Gibson an "Enforcer," well nobody will
do a better job in the PWF of letting a lot of pent up frustration out when it
comes to enforcing things for the Four Horsemen.
(Austin Aries and Roderick Strong came to the ring and stood next to Flair to
cheers from the crowd.)
Ric Flair: Punk, you claim to have a new wrecking crew in The Briscoe Brothers.
Well, nobody knows how to lay a beating down on you like Austin Aries and
Roderick Strong! Punk, you wanted the old Ric Flair, you've got him and I'd
like to see put your money where your mouth is!
(Punk, Gibson and The Briscoe Brothers quickly went after Flair, Whitmer, Aries
and Strong. Flair and Punk went at it, trading chops as Whitmer laid Gibson out
with a spinebuster. Aries and Strong dropped The Briscoe Brothers over the ropes onto their heads as Flair hit a belly-to-back suplex on Punk and
clotheslined him over the top rope. Flair's Horsemen celebrated their formation
as Punk retreated his Horsemen away from the ring.)

room.)
Dave Finlay: Chris, I selected you to be a member of my Celtic Gang because I
thought you were prepared to run wild over the likes of Dean Malenko, but I
guess I'm mistaken. Chris, you've failed me. I shouldn't have to send Regal or
Taylor out during your match for you to win. You don't tap out, EVER! Sabin,
and this goes for everybody. The next man to drop a decision in the ring is
out. Losing can not take place. We must sustain out success and thrive to be
better. When it comes down to a fight, generally we will be victorious, but I
can't have you men slipping up and getting weak. If you do, you're no good to
me. Now, all of you, get prepared for you bouts.

Bret Hart: Edge and Christian Cage, ousted from the PWF by Chris Benoit and I.
You're looking at the PWF World Heavyweight Champion, Bret "Hitman" Hart and
I'm tired of people trying to tear me down. As champion, I look forward to
challenging the best of the best in the PWF. Chris Benoit and Davey Richards
are the next two guys in line for a shot at my title and I plan on defending my
title proudly.
("Shoot 'Em Down" by Motorhead played as The Celtic Gang (Dave Finlay, PWF
Intercontinental Champion Ken Kennedy, PWF World Tag Team Champions Steve Regal
& David Taylor, PWF North American Heavyweight Champion Chris Sabin, Nigel
McGuinness and Doug Williams) came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)
Dave Finlay: Mr. Hart, you've got something that belongs to me. Bret, let's
make this easy on everyone involved. My Celtic Gang are mentally preparing for
their later matches and I don't wish to invade their zone, unless we have a
problem. Bret, that PWF World Heavyweight Championship around your waist
doesn't belong anywhere except drapped across yours truly. Hand it over.
Bret Hart: Finlay, I don't know who you think you are, but I'm not laying down
for you.
Dave Finlay: Bret, it saddens me to hear you say that. I don't like to hurt
people. However, sometimes it's necessary. Just ask your friend Chris Benoit
how is head was feeling when my army was done smashing it apart.
(The fans booed Finlay.)
Dave Finlay: You'd people would shut up if you knew what was good for you.
Don't make me send Nigel into the crowd. Now, Bret, I am a man who insists on
certain orders being followed out. I'm not asking you for the title, I'm
telling you.
Bret Hart: Finlay, bringing out you're entire stable out here and threatening
me isn't going to make me give in to somebody like you. Dave, this is my title
and I'm not handing it over to anyone.
Dave Finlay: It amazes me how stupid people can be. Bret, I gave you the
opportunity to do things the easy way, now I have to do things my way.
(McGuinness grabbed Hart and held his arms behind his body as Finlay began
punching Hart straight in the face.)

exactly what it takes to beat a deadman, but I sense it's more than than usual
methods I go through to beat the shit out of somebody in my way. Taker, not
only am I tired, but I am now enraged by you and your FUCKING SHIT! Undertaker,

ringside and smashed it across The Undertaker's face, knocking him back down

raced to the ring and commenced smashing the steel chair across the face of The
Undertaker. Morishima locked Taker in a choke hold as Joe began throwing kick
upon kick to The Undertaker's jugular. Joe spit on The Undertaker and left the
ring with Morishima. The Undertaker slowly, but surely sat up as the crowd went
wild. A now completed frenzied Samoa Joe ran back to the ring and began
pummeling The Undertaker into the mat with fist upon fist. Joe broke the steel
chair in half by smashing of across The Undertaker's face. Joe threw the chair

Undertaker. Morishima locked Taker in a choke hold as Joe began throwing kick
upon kick to The Undertaker's jugular. Joe spit on The Undertaker and left the
ring with Morishima. The Undertaker slowly, but surely sat up as the crowd went
wild. A now completed frenzied Samoa Joe ran back to the ring and began
pummeling The Undertaker into the mat with fist upon fist. Joe broke the steel
chair in half by smashing of across The Undertaker's face. Joe threw the chair
and left the ring. Joe and Morishima walked backstage as The Undertaker sat up
and sweared the blood from his face across his chest.)

Interview:
CM Punk interview
("Miseria Cantare" by AFI played as CM Punk came to the ring to huge boos from
the crowd.)
CM Punk: Ric Flair. You want to sail off into the sunlight and waste everyone's
time. You don't have the edge, the desire, the fire you once were filled with.
Naitch, you're dead to me. You're nothing. You're existence is meaningless now
and I'm going to make sure it doesn't last much longer. That is why I'm moving
forward without you. Ric, you won't bring back The Four Horsemen, I'll create
my own. Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnesses to the formation of the future
of the PWF. The New Four Horsemen.
("The Four Horsemen" played in the background.)
CM Punk: The new "Enforcer" of the Horsemen, James Gibson!
(Gibson came to the ring holding up four fingers.)
CM Punk: The new wrecking crew that will beat the hell out of anyone who gets
in The Horsemen's way, The Briscoe Brothers.
(Jay and Mark Briscoe came to the ring holding up four fingers.)
CM Punk: You see Ric, I don't need you and never did. Ric, what I have put together will go down in history as the most elite Four Horsemen ever put
together. The only time this much havoc had been wreaked by this few a number
of people, you need to go all the way back to the Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse! Ric, you're days are numbered and The New Four Horsemen will make
sure of it.
(Punk held up four fingers as the fans booed Punk's Horsemen. The New Four
Horsemen left the ring to boos from the crowd.)
