From The Amalie Arena
Tampa, Florida
12/24/2021
The commentary team of Jimmy Smith and Josh Barnett welcome the crowd. We pan the ringside area, where we see UWA World Heavyweight champion, "The National Treasure" Nicholas Aldis sitting in, wearing a nice suit and sun glasses, as he has his belt over his shoulder with Kamille York by his side. We then head to the ring for our first contest, as Tony Chimel stands in to introduce our first competitors.
MATCH ONE
STANDARD RULES
Low Ki vs. Malakai Black
Referee: Charles Robinson
These two started off slow, as both men seemed to respect the other's ability to strike and neither man wanted to make the first mistake. Ki would end up speeding things up on the leader of the House of Black. Black would duck a Tidal Crush in the corner and deliver a high kick to send Ki to the outside. Black would try to dive to the outside through the ropes, but Ki would catch him with a kick on the way out, knocking him loopy! Ki would then grab him by the hair while he was still hung up in the ropes and would deliver a series of kicks to his head before wrapping his legs around his neck and pulling Black into a Tarantula like hold! Robinson would warn Ki about getting disqualified and the New York native would break the hold.
Ki would try to hit his Running Front Dropkick, but Black would dodge it, sending Ki flying into the buckles. Black would then springboard off middle ropes and hit a Meteora onto a seated Ki, attempting a cover, but only a two count. Black try for the Black Mass, but Ki would duck it and hit a Rolling Koppou Kick! Ki goes up top and tries for the Warrior's Way, but Black rolls out of the way and Ki rolls through. Black catches him with a low spin kick and then lifts Ki up and drops him with a Brainbuster! Black goes for the cover, but still just a two count!
Black goes for another Black Mass, but Ki blocks it with both forearms and then unleashes a series of kicks and slaps on Black. Ki attempts to hook Black into the Ki Crusher, but Black reverses it with a knee to the forehead to break it up. Black grabs him from behind, thinking about a German Suplex. Ki breaks the hold, but Black transitions to a full nelson and he's thinking Dragon Suplex, but Ki breaks out and slides to his back, kicking Black between the eyes in the process! Ki grabs Black's legs and flips him over into a Jacknife Bridge. Robinson counts, but Ki breaks it up, standing over Black and then leaps up... STANDING WARRIOR'S WAY! Black holds his chest in agony!
Ki grabs Black by the head and twists him around... DRAGON CLUTCH! KI HAS THE DRAGON CLUTCH ON! Black, though, blocks him from getting his hands clasped all the way, and he manages to turn and reach up, pulling Ki down into a Fireman's Carry pin and he bridges. Robinson gets down and counts... ONE, TWO, THREE! It's all over! Black manages to get the pinfall, sitting cross legged in the middle of the ring as he gets a mixed reaction from this crowd.
Winner by Pinfall: Malakai Black

Back in the ring, Haas and Benjamin put a beat down on Saturn, tagging in and out, until Saturn manages to reverse a waistlock from Benjamin and delivers a German Suplex to turn the tide!

Benjamin tags out to Haas, and he hits a Deadlift German Suplex, bridging for the two count. Haas tags out to Benjamin and then grabs Saturn, delivering a Belly to Back Suplex as Benjamin springboards in with a clothesline! Benjamin pins Saturn as Haas blocks Kronus, but only a two count.

Benjamin staggers up and Saturn hits a Powerslam, but only gets a two count on a pin attempt. Saturn tags out to Kronus and hooks Benjamin in. Saturn lifts Benjamin into a Powerbomb and Kronus slingshots and flips over the top rope, hitting a Flipping Legdrop as Saturn hits the Powerbomb on Benjamin, getting a big pop from the crowd! The 275 pound Kronus goes for the cover, but Haas manages to duck under Saturn and use his break of the match to save Benjamin!
Saturn and Haas are fighting and Saturn tries for a clothesline on Haas, but Haas low bridges him and Saturn spills to the outside of ring! Haas grabs the top rope and slings himself out onto Saturn with a Pescado! Kronus picks up Benjamin and tries for a suplex, but Benjamin floats over it and rolls up Kronus! ONE, TWO, THR- KRONUS KICKS OUT! Benjamin and Kronus are both back up and Benjamin goes for a clothesline, but Kronus ducks it and delivers a Thrust Kick to his mid-section. Kronus sends Benjamin into the corner and does a Cartwheel and then a Backflip, but Benjamin explodes out of the corner and grabs Kronus... GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE BUCKLES MID-MOVE! WHAT A REVERSAL!
Benjamin picks up Kronus and pumphandles his arm, pulling him into a Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex position. Benjamin lifts him up... AND DROPS KRONUS RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! Benjamin makes the cover, hooking the leg, as Saturn tries to roll in, but Haas is latched onto his leg! Tim White makes the count... ONE, TWO, THREE! This one is over!
Winners by Pinfall: The World's Greatest Tag Team
After the match, Shelton Benjamin grabs the microphone and says that everybody may have doubted them before but nobody can deny that! They are the World's Greatest Tag Team, and they don't care if it's Fish and O'Reilly or the Hardy Boyz, they want the next title shot!
We take another look at the crowd, where we see PWX Premier chapion, Diamond Dallas Page, standing in with his wife Kimberly by his side, enjoying the show. PWX interviewer Dasha Gonzalez makes her way over to him. She asks how he's enjoying the show.
"Yo, look at these people! It's always great being here in Tampa, even with a dirt bag like Nick Aldis hanging around in the crowd, stinkin' up the joint! It don't matter, though, Dasha. I got the Premier belt, I got the best lookin' broad in the whole damn world by my side, and maybe best of all, I've got all of these people out here cheerin' my name!"
DDP chants break out loud and clear. Dallas smiles, looking around and goading the fans on.
"Nothin' is gonna bring me down! Tonight, I'm keepin' my eyes peeled and I'm lookin' for the next man who's going to try to take what's mine! We'll see if any of these wannabes got the guts to call out 'The People's Champ', cause I'm ready to go WHENEVER! One of you feelin' froggy!? Jump then and GET JACKED UP!"
Kimberly is smiling and clapping as DDP throws up the diamond sign and the fans are going crazy. Dasha sends it back to Jimmy and Josh at ringside.
MATCH THREE
STANDARD RULES
Damian Priest vs. MJF
Referee: Mike Chioda
MJF really tried to play it smart here and tried to stick and move. MJF would attack the legs early, but Priest showed his resilience and his temper, shrugging off the offense of MJF and delivering a Spin Kick right to his chest! Priest delivers a South of Heaven chokeslam to MJF, but MJF manages to kick out. MJF tries to pull a move, attempting to lock on the Salt of the Earth out of nowhere from his back, but Priest manages to get out of it.

Priest goes for the cover, but only a two count. MJF rolls to the ropes holding his jaw, and he seems to be on dream street. MJF staggers up on the apron, and Priest grabs him from behind and clubs him to the chest. Priest gets on the apron and kicks MJF across the face, sending him tumbling to the floor. Priest grabs MJF by the hair and pulls him back up. Chioda is warning Priest to get back into the ring but Priest yells, "SHUT THE HELL UP!" He pulls MJF and hooks him in. Josh Barnett tells Jimmy Smith to get out of the way, as they are on the apron right in front of the announcer's table...
CRUCIFIXION OFF THE APRON AND THROUGH THE TABLE! MJF WAS JUST SMASHED THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER'S TABLE WITH A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB!
Mike Chioda calls for the bell as the fans chant "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"
Medical staff are over checking on MJF as Damian Priest stands with a cold look in his eyes.
Winner by Disqualification: MJF
Priest doesn't seem to care about the results. Priest takes the microphone.
"You all want to ignore me? You all want to deny Damian Priest? Deny that."
Priest drops the mic and walks to the back, and the fans are cheering him on as MJF is still down in the wreckage.
We go backstage where Dasha Gonzalez is standing in. She approaches Brian Pillman with the microphone and explains they are setting up a new announcer's table, so she has time to speak with Pillman. Pillman laughs.
"So that's what it takes to get a little mic time around here!? Some poor shmuck has to get his back broken out there!? Well, that's just great! You're gonna have all the time in the world, Dasha, to interview everybody on the roster, because they're gonna have to MOP UP Darby Allin when I'm through with him!"
Dasha asks Pillman if he is worried at all about saying he will quit the business if he can't pin or submit Darby Allin tonight.
"Worried!? Dasha... do I look worried to you?"
Pillman gets in very close now.
"You know, they say dogs can smell fear on a man, so I'm wondering, do you smell any fear on me, Dasha? Huh!?"
Dasha looks upset now as Pillman breaks out into uncontrollable laughter.
"Oh man! I'm sorry! I'm just kiddin', babe! You know I kid! C'mon!"
Pillman pats her on the shoulder as she kind of half smirks and looks away.
"No, Dasha, fear is for others! You see, I have a destiny here! I'm here for a reason! And my career does end tonight! But Darby Allin's life..."
Pillman chomps on his gum hard and his eyes get wide as he steps in once more.
"... well, that might be a different story."
Pillman walks off now, and Dasha doesn't even say anything, as she looks rather disturbed and violated by Pillman.
MATCH FOUR
X DIVISION RULES
Darby Allin vs. Brian Pillman

Pillman is stumbling around holding his genitals when Allin springboards off the ropes and flies off, catching Pillman with an armdrag! Pillman rolls under the ropes and to the outside again.

His shoulder, neck, and back of his head just smashed into the railing! Jimmy Smith is yelling "OH MY GOD!" on the call, as Allin may have just killed himself!

Pillman can't believe it, as he is pulling his hair out. Pillman grabs Darby into an Armbar and yells at him to tap out! Darby is weakly reaching for the ropes, but there are no rope breaks in an X Division match. Darby looks like he might be passing out, but Pillman yells "NO!" He lets go of Darby and begins to punch him in the face multiple times and then tries for the pinfall again. ONE, TWO, THREEEE- NO! Darby bridges and rolls, barely escaping!
Darby is rolling on the mat and trying to get up and the fans are chanting.
"DARBY! DARBY! DARBY!"
Pillman grabs Long by the collar, but the senior referee isn't having it and threatens to disqualify him! Pillman lets go real quickly, remembering the stipulation he put on himself for this match. Pillman turns and grabs Darby, lifting him up and trying to hook him into the Mental Breakdown again, but Darby breaks free and tries to roll up Pillman with a School Boy, but Pillman kicks out quickly, as Darby doesn't have the strength to hold him. Barnett thinks he is just running on instinct here and he might be seriously concussed.
Teddy Long sees Darby reaching up and looking all around, and Pillman comes down on him with more mounted punches. Teddy Long dives in and calls for the bell.
Pillman is yelling, "NO! NO!"

Brian Pillman grabs the microphone.
"I COULD HAVE PINNED HIM! HE SHOULD HAVE GAVE UP! I'M NOT QUITTING ANYTHING! I'M THE BETTER MAN AND YOU CAN ALL KISS MY ASS!!!"
Pillman pulls his tights down and slaps his ass and yells at the fans with a red face to shut the hell up! Security comes out to try to calm Pillman down and get him to pull up his pants and he starts to get into an altercation with them.

Pillman sees this AND HE RUNS OVER AND SHOVES THE WHEELCHAIR, SENDING ALLIN ONTO THE FLOOR!
Pillman acts like he's going to attack Allin, but Eric Bischoff is out there and he is talking Pillman down. He says he has done enough and he needs to get his ass back to the locker room! Pillman yells that he needs to make him quit, but Bischoff repeats himself and after a tense moment, Pillman stomps up the ramp.

Winner by Referee Stoppage, and NEW X Division Champion: CM Punk
OOC: So, guys, this was super late. I haven't been able to put out shows with the regular quality that I would like to. If only I had the time I had when I was a teenager, I could have done something really cool here, but I just don't have it. I am really proud of what I have done here, as it is probably the most cohesive vision I have put out, so I think it is a good way to end things. It has been a privilege to write with you guys. I just have a lot coming up and I am already struggling, so I just know it is time to call it. I wish the whole show could have been the quality of the first half but I just have no time to sit and do it and I apologize. Thanks a lot for all of the support and keep up the good work, everyone.
