[September 10, 2001]
Live From the Kemper Arena
in Kansas City, Missouri

A video montage begins to play. The Twin Towers are shown, smoke bellowing out of huge gaping holes. It then shows the towers collapsing, while "The Star Spanngled Banner" plays in the background. The video shows civilians running from the ash and concrete, then switches to scenes of heroes, trying to rescue missing civilians. The video then fades out to a pictures of a bald eagle, with a tear dripping dowb it's cheek. The cameras then cut to the inside of the arena.

Theo Chaplin- Ladies and gentlemen...after the heinous attacks on The United States of America this past Tuesday, we here at the PWA are prepared to pay our respects.

The lights in the arena go down as the picture of the eagle remains on the PacificVision. Every PWA superstar is surrounding the ring, each wielding a candlestick. Sid Sharpe stands in the ring, holding the American flag over his shoulder.

Sid Sharpe- For those whose lives were lost, and to all those who lost a loved on on that tragic day...we are here. As they say in this business, "the show must go on", and it will, here tonight...but not before we pay our respects.

Sid hangs his head as "The Star Spangled Banner" starts up again. Over the music a bell toll begins. Ding...ding...ding...ding...ding...ding...ding...ding...ding...ding. The National Anthem reaches it's peak as Sid Sharpe begins waving the American flag with pride, and for once, the fans cheer him. The fans and wreslters all go crazy, yelling with pride as their nation's flag waves in the wind. Shock goes to a breif commercial break.

Theo Chaplin- Well, folks, it's been a very emotional week for us Americans, but we are here to put on a show,and that's exactly what we've got planned for you tonight!

Elijah Page- I don't know what Sid Sharpe was thinkin', but he allowed The Ego a Pacific International Championship shot tonight against Hugh Jorgan...but he threw in some elements to ensure a victory for the reigning champ. Like, a steel cage...and Special Guest Referee, Iceberg!

Theo Chaplin- Also tonight, Chris Ponger tries for PWA gold, that being the Canadian Championship. He takes his shot against Da MAB!

Elijah Page- Technine and The One battle out their differences as John Storm takes on Distress in a hardcore match!! What a night!

During the break the PWA wrestlers clear the ringside area, heading towards the locker rooms. Every superstar touches the American flag, which has been hung above the entrance, before they disappear behind the curtain. The countdown shows upon the PacificVision.

Monday Night Shock comes back from commercial break as the silver strobe lights flash from the ceiling of the arena and the steel cage lowers to cover the ring. The camera zooms in onto the lowering cage and then the picture fades into Chap and Elij sitting at the announce table.

Theo Chaplin - Welcome back to Monday Night Shock live from Kemper Arena. On this evening the PWA Head Offices have decided to have the main event as the first match on the card to honour those who perished in the tragic incidents of this last week!

Elijah Page - So hold tight, here we go!!!

"No Mo Play in GA" by Pastor Troy hits as the crowd boos. Iceberg walks down the ramp with a tanktop referee t-shirt on. Iceberg climbs through the door of the cage as....

"Fat Lip" by Sum 41 blasts into the Kemper Arena as The Ego walks down the ramp with a black armband on his upper arm. The crowd has erupts as he climbs to the top of the cage from the outside. He looks down at Iceberg from the top of the cage as...

"Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child hits the arena. Hugh Jorgan walks down the ramp. Jorgan climbs through the door and starts yelling at The Ego. The Ego yells right back and then climbs down into the ring as Iceberg closes the door and locks it.

Theo Chaplin - Here we go! The only way to win is over the top.

Bothe competitors stare a hole into one another, as Iceberg calls for the bell.

Theo Chaplin- Do you really think that Iceberg is going to be a fair referee?

Elijah Page- Of course I do! He's in business with Sid Sharpe, an honest man!

Theo Chaplin- I beg to differ!

Jorgan and The Ego lock horns, the PacInt Champ taking over. He backs The Ego into the corner and begins lashing into him. He hits some lefts and rights, but The Ego quickly escapes, tripping Hugh Jorgan into the corner. The Ego then lashes into the champ, but Iceberg puts himself between the two, backing The Ego off of Hugh Jorgan.

Jorgan steps up from the corner and hits The Ego from behind. He locks on a side head lock and nails a bulldog. Jorgan waits as The Ego pulls himself to his feet, but Jorgan comes from behind again and smashes The Ego's face against the cold, hard steel of the cage. He then drags The Ego, rubbing his face on the metal.

Theo Chaplin- Hugh Jorgan showing no mercy whatsoever!

Elijah Page- And that's exactly why he is the Pacific International Champion!

Hugh Jorgan then whips The Ego off the ropes and goes down for a back body drop, but The Ego retaliates with a swinging neck breaker. Both men are up, but The Ego connects with a hard right, followed by another and another. He bounces Hugh Jorgan off the ropes and on the rebound, takes him down with a hard spinebuster. The Ego then climbs to the top of the cage, as Hugh Jorgan follows. The Ego kicks back, nailing Jorgan int he face. Eventually, he falls to the mat. The Ego makes it to the top of the cage.

Theo Chaplin- The Ego looking for the early win!

Elijah Page- I don't think so Theo!

The Ego dives off the top of the cage, onto Hugh Jorgan, in a cross body block-like move. Iceberg's jaw drops to the mat. Both men are down, The Ego clutching his midsection, screaming in pain.

Theo Chaplin- I don't believe the intestinal fortitude of The Ego! To dive some fifteen, twenty feet in the air, all the way down...that takes guts, and The Ego is real resoected in my book!

Elijah Page- Yeah well your book sucks!

The Ego is using the cage to pull himself to his feet, as Hugh Jorgan does the same. Iceberg watches. Hugh Jorgan rushes The Ego, but the Ego sidesteps and sends Jorgan crashing into the cage. The Ego comes from behind and hits a side russian leg sweep. He then locks on a figure four leglock. The Ego cries out.

Theo Chaplin- Hugh Jorgan with a very technical move in this very not technical match-up!

Elijah Page- That's the beauty of Hugh Jorgan. He'll pull off something unexpected...even if it is as elementary as a figure four leg lock!

The Ego uses the cage rungs to his advantage, and turns the leg lock over, applying the pressure to the PacInt Champ, Hugh Jorgan. Jorgan screams out in pain, but Iceberg kicks The Ego right in the ribcage.

Theo Chaplin- What the hell?!?!

Elijah Page- Go Bergie Poo!

Iceberg then lifts The Ego to his feet and goes for the Ice Pick, but The Ego escapes, and hits a DDT on the referee. The Ego then hits the Humbler!

Theo Chaplin- What chaos inside that cage!

The Ego then goes to climb the cage, but Sid Sharpe runs down the ramp, armed with a steel chair. As The Ego climbs the cage, Sid Sharpe nails the cage with the chair, crushin The Ego's fingers. Hugh Jorgan begins climbing the cage as well, close behind The Ego. Both men have made it to the top, where they are exchanging blows. Sid Sharpe enters the ring throught he door.

Theo Chaplin- What's Sid Sharpe got planned?!?!?

Elijah Page- I dunno! But I have a feeling I'm gonna like it!

Atop the cage, The Ego has Hugh Jorgan staggering. The Ego then braces himself ont he cage with his arms. He swings his legs up and wraps them around the neck of the Champion, and then, flips him over, flying back into the ring, taking out Sid Sharpe!

Theo Chaplin- A modified version of Don't Wanna Miss A Thing from the top of the cage!!!

Elijah Page- Yess!!! That was awesome!

The Ego then climbs down the other side of the cage, and drops to the outside.

Theo Chaplin- The Ego wins! Yes! The Ego, new PWA Pacific International Champion!!!

The Ego collects himself off of the arena floor as the fans begin to chant "E-Go!" He walks around the ring and grabs the Pacific International Championship off of the bell table and starts climbing back up the cage. The Ego reaches the top and raises the Pacific International Championship high over his head as the crowd chants even louder as Monday Night Shock goes to commercial break.

During the commercial break The Ego climbs down from the cage and taunts Iceberg who is recovering from The Humbler. The Ego walks back up the ramp as the cage raises back to the ceiling allowing Iceberg and Sid Sharpe to help Hugh Jorgan to the back as the countdown flashes onto the PacificVision.

Monday Night Shock comes back from commercial break with a shot of Al Winchester standing in the hall outside of the the mysterious commissioner's office.

Al Winchester - I'm going to try and get a word with the new commissioner.

Al Winchester opens the door and walks into the office where a single lamp is illuminated sitting on the corner of the desk and an easy chair is seated so that you can only see the back.

Al Winchester - Commissioner? Commissioner? Could I have a moment of your time?

Voice - At Before You, I will be there. Live to make sure that Sid Sharpe knows which way to go to get to his destiny... hell!!

Al Winchester walks to the easy chair and peers over to try and sneak a peek.

Voice - Nice try. I will reveal myself for the first time at Before You!

Al Winchester picks up and looks at a tape recorder/player that was sitting in the chair and then puts it back down.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana plays and the fans give a mixed reaction to Chris Ponger walks out looking cocky, ready to win the Canadian Championship. He steps in the ring, as.....

"Nightmare", Da MAB's rap song beats through the speakers as we see Razzle Dazzle Girl walk out and the fans cheer. She's holding the Canadian title and then Da MAB walks out behind her. They walk to the ring, down the aisle, with Razzle Dazzle Girl pumping Da MAB up on the way. Da MAB slides in the ring, and goes after Ponger.

Ponger gets up and charges at Da MAB, but Da MAB sidesteps and throws Chris Ponger over the top ropes. Ponger hits the outside hard and Da MAB climbs to the top rope.

Theo Chaplin - Looks like Chris Ponger can't put away Da MAB. Da MAB will not give up his Canadian title that easily.

Elijah Page - Exactly, wow Theo, you actually have some common sense.

Da MAB ducks, going behind Ponger and hits the MAB2KO out of nowhere. Ponger is layed out, Da MAB lays almost motionless and can't capitalize.

Theo Chaplin - Looks like Da MAB has ran out of gas and he can't succumb enough power to roll over on Ponger.

Elijah Page - What are you doing? Pin him, you know what nevermind, let's Ponger!

Da MAB throws his arm over Ponger, the ref notices Da MAB going for the pin and counts, 1....2.....Ponger just raises his arm up, getting his shoulder up just enough off the mat.

He goes around Da MAB and lands the Ponger Drive. Ponger hooks the leg as the ref counts, 1.....2.....Da MAB lifts his right shoulder off the mat about an inch. The f! ans gasp, thinking Chris Ponger had the win. Ponger gets up and signals for the end.

Elijah Page - No! He's going for his finishing move.

Theo Chaplin - A new champion will be crowned if Ponger can hit The Whatever.

Chris Ponger climbs to the top rope, he looks around at the crowd, some flashbulbs go off. Then Ponger leaps, almost diving as the arena fills with flashing lights. Ponger comes down, but Da MAB rolls out the way. Ponger lands hard on his injured arm, he holds it while Da MAB gets up and goes to Ponger, locking in the Nightmare Grasp.

The referee hands the Canadian Championship to Da MAB as the fans cheer. Da MAB raises it high above his head and then leaves the ring.

The Ego is walking around the back wearing the Pacific International Championship backwards and carrying the Japan Pro Championship. The Ego walks into an office where the only light is sitting on the desk and an armchair is turned around facing a book case.

The Ego - Hey Commish! Nice to meet you.

The new Commissioner doesn't respond.

The Ego - Anyways, as you know I just won the Pacific International Championship and now I have two championships. Well, I came in here to forfeit the Japan Pro Championship to you.

The Ego lays the Japan Pro belt on the desk and starts flicking the lamp on and off.

The Ego - Lamp goes on, lamp goes off, lamp goes on, lamp goes off.

The Ego stops playing with the lamp and turns around runs out the door into the wall across the hall. He stumbles around a bit and then walks away as Monday Night Shock goes to commercial break.

During the commercial break fans in the arena are treated to exclusive footage that didn't air on television. It shows The Ego running back into the Commissioner's Office. He walks around desk and spins the chair around to reveal that all that is in is a tape recorder/player.

The Ego: Hmmm, where's the commish? Oh well.

The Ego picks up the recorder.

The Ego: Luke, I am your father.

The Ego then stops the recorder and places it back on the chair as the countdown hits the PacificVision.

Monday Night Shock comes back from commercial break with a shot of Sid Sharpe outside the commissioner's office. Sharpe bursts into the office, he spins the chair around to see that the commissioner is once again not in the arena.

Sid Sharpe then presses play on the recorder.

Voice - Luke, I am your father......

Sid Sharpe looks confused at the recording.

Voice - ...... sure that Sid Sharpe knows which way to go to get to his destiny... hell!!

Sid Sharpe tosses the recorder across the room and it shatters against the wall. He then notices the Japan Pro sitting on the desk. He picks it up.

Sid Sharpe - So, The Ego has forfeited his Japan Pro Championship. Hmmmmm.

Sid Sharpe's eyes light up as he walks out of the office carrying the Japan Pro Championship as the scene fades out.

Da MAB is shown in the back polishing his Canadian Championship when Chris Ponger jumps him from behind. Ponger attacks Da MAB and starts to pummel him with a fire extinguisher. PWA referees and officials pull Chris Ponger off of Da MAB as the scene fades.

The camera zooms in on Chaplin and Page sitting at ringside.

Theo Chaplin - Ladies and gentlemen, the new commissioner whom we still do not have a face for has just booked a match over the phone for the pay per view. At Before You there will be a Japan Pro Open. Apparently, the new commissioner has extended an invitation to every single wrestler in the back to take part if they so wish...

Elijah Page - A Japan Pro Open? This Commissioner thinks he can just walk in here and throw his weight around? Well, Sid Sharpe will have something to say about that.

Theo Chaplin - The rules of the Open Match are simple, it is elimination style. Only pinfalls will count. And the only rule is that there are no rules!!

"Bodies" by Drowning Pool hits and pyro shoots up as The One walks through the curtain. He walks down the ramp to no crowd reaction and slides into the ring as...

Al Winchester is standing in the back in front of the aqua backdrop with the Shock logo on it. Standing next to him is "Smooth" Sammy Stevenson.

Al Winchester - Earlier today it was announced that you and newcomer to the PWA, Kaine Doomhammer, will be locking horns at Before You. What are your thoughts on this?

"Smooth" Sammy Stevenson - My thought? I have no thoughts on this because Kaine Doomhammer is just another guy who thinks that he can hang with Sammy. At Before You he will find out exactly why my name is Smooth and why I am better than everyone!!

Sammy Stevenson walks away cutting Al Winchester's interview short as the scene fades out.

Perfection Inc. is standing in their locker room in the back with Scotty Cocoa holding a mic.

Scotty Cocoa - Tonight my esteemed colleague, Chris Mask will be taking John Storm's place as he has taken a leave of absence from this fed.

Chris Mask - Distress, don't think for one second that I'll be an easier opponent for your weak ass. Just because you may out number three, two doesn't mean that you have an advantage, it just means that we're going have more fun taking you guys out!

The Ego is shown walking out of the new Commissioner's Office in the back carrying his Pacific International Championship as Monday Night Shock goes to break.

During the commercial break a commercial airs for the PWA Hall of Fame inductions which take place on the Wednesday and Thursday just prior to Before You. The countdown flashes across the PacificVision.

Monday Night Shock comes back from commercial break with Da MAB recovering in the back from the sneak attack by Ponger, earlier. Spencer Cohle walks up to him.

Spencer Cohle - Da MAB, what are you going to do about Ponger? He seems to have a problem with you.

Da MAB - Chris Ponger! You want to sneak up on me with a fire extinguisher?! Well, this Friday at Before You I am challenging you... no, I am telling you that we are going to have a match. A Bloody Submission match. That means for me to win I have to make you bleed and then I have to make you submit, in essence you have to be bleeding before I can even attempt to make you submit.

Spencer Cohle - A Bloody Submission match. Quite a match. Will the Canadian Championship be on the line?

Da MAB - Damn straight, now get outta here.

Spencer Cohle scurries off before Da MAB does something to him as the scene fades.

"Lay Low" by Snoop Dogg roars into the Kemper Arena. The raucous crowd boos as Sid Sharpe walks through the curtain. Sid Sharpe walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring with the crowd still booing. Sharpe grabs a mic from the ring announcer.

Sid Sharpe - Alright, this new commissioner is beginning to piss me off. He walks in here, no, he doesn't even walk in here. He just starts booking matches from wherever his pansy ass is and thinks that he's going to run me out of here. He tells me that I'm going to be in hell.

Well, I have news for him. Sid Sharpe will not lay down for anyone. I'll be waiting for him at Before You. And the second he shows he's gonna know what its like to piss Sid Sharpe off.

The crowd starts to chant asshole as Sharpe rants about the new commissioner.

Sid Sharpe - Speaking of pissing me off. Ego!!

The crowd erupts with the mention of his name.

Sid Sharpe - Ego, you forfeited your Japan Pro Championship earlier tonight which means that there is no championship on the line in your match against Iceberg at Before You.

From my point of view that is not just! You had better put your newly won Pacific International Championship on the line to right your wrong!

The crowd is booing Sid Sharpe until "Fat Lip" starts up. The fans in the arena erupt as The Ego walks through the curtain wearing his Pacific International Championship backwards. The Ego stops halfway down the ramp and pulls the mic out of his waistband.

The Ego - You all suck!

The crowd cheers as Sid Sharpe throws a fit in the ring.

The Ego - If you stop running your damn about how you're scared of the commissioner for just one second you would realize that I have just made the change to the card with your good buddy, the new commissioner, I left a note on his desk in the back, and my Pacific International Championship has been put on the line!

Sid Sharpe - I'm not scared of him!

The Ego - Yeah, right. Just like Bergie Poo isn't scared of me. That's a hoot!

The crowd cheers as Sharpe kicks the bottom rope.

The Ego - Welcome to hell Siddy Pie. I think I'm going to enjoy Before You.

The Ego walks down the ramp and walks around the ring. He stands on the opposite side of the ring just Iceberg races down the ramp.

The Ego - Gee, how did I know that he was waiting behind the curtain?

Iceberg slides into the ring next to Sid Sharpe and takes the mic.

Iceberg - You think you're so smart Ego? You think that you have this all figured out, don't you?

Well, let me be the first to tell you that your reign as Pacific International Champion will only last until Friday where weapon weilding lumberjacks and a barbed wire ladder will lead me on my way to victory.

The Ego - You think so huh? Well, this Friday at Before You, you won't wanna miss a thing. And here's a preview.

The Ego drops the mic and slides into the ring. Iceberg and The Ego start brawling around the ring as Sid Sharpe climbs out and watches. The Ego and Iceberg spill outside of the ring and start fighting around ringside.

Theo Chaplin - Iceberg! The Ego! Pacific International Championship! Fridddaaayyyy live on Before Yoooouuuuu!!!
