Suddenly, pyros blast through out the Conseco Fieldhouse as PWA Fusion comes on the air, live on the ESPN Network!] [Jim Ross] With just two more Fusions before we roll in to Sin City, we come to you, live, from the Hoosier state for PWA Fusion on ESPN!

[Jim Ross] Christian takes on Buff Bagwell, Jimmy Jacobs meets Chris Jericho, and how about this, King, Hulk Hogan goes one on one with The Undertaker! [Jerry Lawler] Hogan and Taker in a Qualifying Match? That's huge! [Suddenly, "Behold the King..." is heard and the bell sounds.] [Jim Ross] In addition, CM Punk and Scott Hall will close the show in the main event, but King, we're wasting no time! We're opening things off big! Triple H and John Cena! __________________________________________________ [Singles Match] [Triple H w/ Ric Flair vs. John Cena] [After hitting the Throw Back, John Cena waits for Triple H to reach a vertical base. Finally, The Game makes it to his feet and Cena lifts him up for the F-U, however, Ric Flair hops on the apron to distract the referee. Cena drops Triple H and feeds Flair a hard right hand, sending him flying off the apron. As Cena turns around, Triple H kicks him in the gut, and buries him with a Pedigree to secure the win.] [Winner - Triple H] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Tournament of Torture Qualifying Match] [Jimmy Jacobs w/ Lacey vs. Chris Jericho] [Chris Jericho hits the ropes and comes back, hitting Jimmy Jacobs with a running bulldog. Y2J once again hits the ropes and attempts a Lion Sault, but Jacob's manager, Lacey yanks Jericho's foot, causing him to lose his balance on the ropes. Jacobs quickly hurries from behind, rolls Jericho up in a school boy pin, holding the tights for extra leverage as the referee counts one, two, three.] [Winner - Jimmy Jacobs] __________________________________________________ [Backstage Segment] [Before PWA heads to a commercial break, Michael Cole is shown at the Fusion interview set with Stone Cold Steve Austin.] [Michael Cole] Stone Cold, last week, many would say you blew your chances at the PWA Heavyweight Title when you got your self disqualified in your qualifying match with Triple H. [Stone Cold] First things first, you may wanna change your tone when you talk to me, son; talkin to me like I'm some kind dumb ass. I know what I did last week and truth be told, I let my emotions get the best of me, but as far as the PWA Heavyweight Title is concerned, that title will be mine, one way or another, tournament or no tournament. No body is gonna stand in my way of gettin that championsh... [Just then, Triple H along with Ric Flair approach Austin.] [Triple H] Well look who it is, Naitch. It's the toughest S.O.B. in the PWA. It's the guy I beat last week. Now tell me, if you're so tough, what's that make me? [Ric Flair] That makes you The Game, baby. [Triple H] That's right. I am The Game and I'm also the next PWA Heavyweight Champion and the one guy who IS gonna stand in your way of that title. [Stone Cold] Speaking of standing in my way, that's exactly what you're doin now. [Triple H] Then move me... [With that said, Austin decks Triple H with a right hand before hitting Flair with one as well. An all out brawl breaks loose in the back stage area as PWA security and referees try to break the mayhem up.] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Backstage Segment] [As Fusion returns from commercial break, Carlito is shown in the backstage area tossing an apple and catching it repeatedly. Maria is then shown with a microphone in hand.] [Maria] Carlito, last week, you defeated John Cena to qualify for the Tournament of Torture. Tonight, you face another man who qualified, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle. [Carlito] Wow! Olympic Gold Medalist...that's not cool. Carlito winning the Tournament of Torture...now that's cool. Carlito has proven time and time again that he is the greatest wrestler in PWA history and right now, I'm going to show the "Olmypic Gold Medalist" how to wrestle my way...the cool way. [With that said, Carlito bites in to his apple and walks off.] [Maria] Well I guess back to you J.R. and Ki... [Carlito quickly returns, only to spit apple in Maria's face. The scene switches to the arena as Carlito's music begins to play.] __________________________________________________ [Singles Match] [Carlito the Cool vs. Kurt Angle] [As Kurt Angle staggers up from a drop kick, Carlito waits patiently, perched on the top rope. Angle turns around, but before Carlito can leap off the top, Angle runs up the top rope, grabs Carlito and slings him over his head in a belly to belly suplex form. Both men lie in the ring motionless for a few moments as the referee initiates the ten count. Finally, both men begin to crawl to their feer with Angle making it up first. Carlito soon after arises and Kurt grabs him from behind for the Angle Slam, but Carlito counters the move, ends up behind Kurt, and hits him with the Back Stabber. Carlito quickly covers Angle and gets the win.] [Winner - Carlito the Cool] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Tournament of Torture Qualifying Match] [Christian vs. Buff Bagwell] [After hitting a suplex on Buff Bagwell, Christian pulls him up and places him on the top turnbuckle. Christian, pulling him self to the second rope, continues to hammer away at Buff, but the hits only wake Bagwell up. Bagwell lands a hard right hand, sending Christian off the ropes. Buff then stands on the top rope and awaits for Christian to get to his feet. Finally, Christian stands up and Buff hits the Blockbuster from the top rope and covers Captain Charisma for win.] [Winner - Buff Bagwell] __________________________________________________ [Backstage Segment] [Maria is shown in the backstage area, standing by with Hall and Nash, the Outsiders.] [Maria] I'm standing here with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Hall, tonight, you face CM Punk in the main event. [Scott Hall] Uh oh, CM Punk? What ever will I do? [Maria] I don't know! Do you think you can beat him? [Scott Hall] I don't, Maria. I mean, he's pretty tough. If only I knew some body bigger...stronger...more athletic, I may stand a chance. [Kevin Nash] Hey, I'm bigger, stronger, more athletic, and definately sexier. [Maria] But you're not in the match... [Scott Hall] You see, that's the thing, Maria, when you take on one of us, you get the both of us. CM Punk, you claim to be Straight Edge, but tonight, Chico, you're gonna feel the Outsider's Edge. [Hall takes his toothpick out of his mouth and throws it at Maria before he and Nash walk off.] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Singles Match] [Johnny Nitro w/ Melina vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin] [Stone Cold, with Johnny Nitro backed in to a corner, begins to open up with a series of lefts and rights.

As Austin staggers out of the corner, Nitro goes for a spinning heel kick, but Austin ducks. As Nitro turns around, Stone Cold gives him the 'two fingure salute' followed by a kick to the gut and a Stone Cold Stunner. Austin then covers Nitro for the victory.] [Winner - Stone Cold Steve Austin] [After the match, Triple H and Ric Flair hit the ring and begin a two on one assault on an already battered Austin. While Flair continues to pound away on Stone Cold, Triple H rolls out of the ring and lifts up the ring skirts to reveal a sledge hammer. The Cerebral Assassin returns to the ring while Flair holds Austin up. The Game then blasts Stone Cold in the skull with the weapon and stands tall with one foot over the Rattlesnake's chest, holding the sledge hammer in the air as Fusion goes to break.] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Backstage Segment] [When Fusion returns from the break, Stone Cold is shown in the backstage area looking for Triple H and Ric Flair. Austin enters the locker room to find Randy Orton unlacing his boots.] [Stone Cold] Hey! [Orton ignores Austin and continues unlacing his boots.] [Stone Cold] Hey, kid! [Orton turns around and makes eye contact with Austin.] [Randy Orton] Are you talkin to me? [Stone Cold] You're the only sum-bitch I see in here. [Randy Orton] Sum-bitch? Well first off, I ain't nobody's boy and second, if you meant son of a bitch, I'd think twice about sayin that because you don't wanna call my mother a bitch. [Stone Cold] First off, I don't give a damn who's boy you are and second, you're the one that may wanna think twice about sayin that cause I certainly ain't your daddy cause I'll knock your damn lights out right now. [Randy Orton smirks at Austin and then shoves him! Austin quickly retaliates with a right hand and begins to open up on Orton. Randy takes Austin down and the two begin to scrap on the ground as referees rush in to the locker room to break the two men up.] __________________________________________________ [Tournament of Torture Qualifying Match] [The Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan] [The Undertaker, with his hand wrapped around Hogan's throat, signals for a chokeslam, but the Hulkster is able to rake Taker in the eyes. Hogan then lifts up the massive Undertaker and body slams him. Hogan then hits the ropes and goes for a leg drop, but Taker rises up, causing Hogan to miss. The Undertaker, the first one to his feet, patiently awaits for Hogan to get up and when he does, he plants him with a massive chokeslam. The Undertaker then finishes him off with the Tombstone to advance in the Tournament of Torture.] [Winner - The Undertaker] __________________________________________________ [Commercial Break] __________________________________________________ [Main Event] [Scott Hall w/ Kevin Nash vs. CM Punk] [Scott Hall lifts CM Punk up for the Outsider's Edge, but some how, CM Punk manages to grab his arm and applies the Anaconda Vice. As Hall prepares to tap out, Nash yanks the referee out of the ring and knocks him out. Big Sexy then enters the ring and goes to drop an elbow, but CM Punk moves out of the way and Nash's elbow drops right in to the chest of Scott Hall. Punk hurries to his feet and begins to level Nash with muy-tai kicks followed by a drop kick, sending Nash to the outside. As Hall gets up, CM Punk lifts him up and connects with the GTS (Go to Sleep). Punk covers Hall and another referee storms to the ring and counts the three, awarding the match to CM Punk.] [Winner - CM Punk] [Jim Ross] Another win for the Straight Edge superstar! Will the GTS lead CM Punk to his second straight Tournament of Torture victory in two weeks? [Jerry Lawler] Well he's going to have stiff competition. Triple H, Scott Hall, The Undertaker, Buff Bagwell, among others have all qualified along with Punk. [PWA Fusion slowly fades off the air with CM Punk's music playing and Punk's arm being raised in victory.] __________________________________________________ PWA TOURNAMENT OF TORTURE 2007 In two weeks, eight worriors will enter the city of sin.
