*Author's note: this is going to be a really disjointed show, switching from past to present tense a little bit. Wanted to get this show out so I can set up for Beach Brawl and GAB. Hope you like it*
We start with a recap of the last show before heading down to the ring where Kaz is standing with Bully Ray, Devon, and JBL. The crowd boos and Kaz grabs a mic from ringside.
Kaz: My name is Frankie Kazarian. I am a former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, and the NEXT South Beach Champion. *crowd boos* Now over the last two weeks I have gotten text messages, tweets, facebook messages, phone calls, attempts at snap chats, Skypes, and pretty much any other method of communication from people all around the world asking what the ending to my Number 1 contender's match with Kevin Steen was all about. The plain and simple truth is that I am tired of being overlooked. I am tired of always being a second banana to someone else...so I decided to do something about it. I joined up with THE MOST DECORATED TAG TEAM IN THE HISTORY of professional wrestling, one half of which is about to be the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion: Bully Ray! *crowd boos as Devon and JBL clap a smug looking Bully Ray on the shoulder* You see folks, I'm not going to come out here and declare myself as an anti-christ so that I can make people go "ooh" and "ahh". That gimmick has been done so much both the real life and mythical anti-christs are getting sick to their stomachs because of it. You see Christopher Daniels, I know that South Beach owner Howard Schilling has set it up to where you're watching this live, so I just gotta answer you; because I know you're wondering what the hell is going on....I guess you've been a bit of a......bad influence on me. You showed me that there is only power in this business, and that you need to have titles in order to make your career worthwhile; and to do it by ANY means necessary, so THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
*Bully Ray grabs the mic*
Bully: DO YOU ALL KNOW WHO IN THE HELL I AM? *The crowd boos letting him know that they indeed know who in the hell he is* I AM A FIVE TIME WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION, HALF OF THE GREATEST TAG TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, AND THE NEXT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! *crowd boos* Kyle, that bump you took through the table must have killed off the few working synapses you had left in that empty skulla yours. Just to remind you that at Beach Brawl on the thirtieth, we are going to be fighting inside a STEEL CAGE TAWPED WITH BAWBED WIAH. To put that in language that even your simple brain can understand; that means that the ONLY way I could use a table is if one is placed in the ring before the match starts. You think that by having your Prophecy at ringside that I'm going to be intimidated somehow? I HAVE SURVIVED SO MANY DEATH MATCHES IN JAPAN THAT THE GRIM (BLEEP!)ING REAPER HIMSELF LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS "(BLEEP!) IT, HE AIN'T DYING". THE LIST OF WRESTLERS THAT I HAVE MADE MY (BLEEP!) IN MY CAREER READS AS A WHO'S WHO OF HAWL OF FAMAHS. TERRY FUNK, RAVEN, SHANE DOUGLAS, MATT AND JEFF HAWDY, EDGE AND CHRISTIAN *the crowd, which has been applauding the names pops HUGE for E&C*. ONE LITTLE (BLEEP!)STAIN LIKE YOU WILL BE THE BILL MAZEROSKI ON MY HAWL OF FAME LIST OF PEOPLE I'VE BEATEN SENSELESS; AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE THROWIN OUT STIPULATIONS FO THIS MATCH, I'M MAKIN ONE OF MY OWN. You see, contrary to popular belief, I don't need a table to beat anyone. I'm not going to deny they're a useful tool, but I won't need wood to make you my (BLEEP!).
Howard: I'm gonna need to take out a second mortgage on my house in order to pay the censors at Fox 7 if Bully doesn't stop talking. Striker you think you can spot me?
Matt: On what the NWA pays play-by-play and color commentators? Sorry boss.
Bully: *turns to announce team* WHEN DID I GIVE YALL PERMISSION TO SPEAK? *Howard goes to get up but wisely decides that discretion is the better part of valor in this case and sits back down* ANYWAYS, LIKE I WAS SAYING, IF I'M GONNA BE WITHOUT MY WEAPON OF CHOICE THEN YOH GONNA BE WITHAHT YOAHS. THAT'S RIGHT YA LITTLE (BLEEP!), I'M TAKING AWAY YOH FAVORAHT LITTLE (BLEEP!) TOY: YOR STEEL CHAIAH. I AINT GONNA NEED MY WEAPON TO BEAT YOU ON THE 30TH.....BUT I CAN GUARAN-DAMN-TEE THAT YOR A DEADMAN WITHOT THAT CHAYAH. Now onto less pressing mattahs at hand. Christopha Daniels *crowd cheers*. Now Daniels I know that our little pissant of an owner spared no expense to make sure you can watch South Beach TV AWWWL da way in Cali, so turn up your hearing aid and listen close. You were NEVER in charge of our alliance. *points at JBL* That man right here was. He managed to convince you that you were talented enough to lead this territory when in reality *points at himself* I was the one originally chosen to lead this place. Once your head got big enough to think that you were better than me, you had to be knocked down to size. When that idiot Matthews made us fight it just seemed too right an opportunity. At Beach Brawl I'm gonna win that NWA World Heavyweight Title, fly to Laws Angeles, drive to your trailer park and shove it right in your face!
This new alliance walks off to a chorus of boos as Howard Schilling and Matt Striker officially welcome everyone to a special 3 hour edition of South Beach TV. Tonight will be ALL about preparation for The Great American Bash as we will be having a one night tournament to decide who is the representative from South Beach in the Crossfire Cage match in Boston. Thanks to the folks at random.org we have our first round matchups scheduled. We go to the ring for the first one now.
Match Number 1: Rhett Titus vs. TJ Perkins (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier)
This opening round match between arguably the more underrated half of the All-Night Express and still relative newcomer TJ Perkins was incredibly fun to watch. Both men REALLY wanted a spot on one of the biggest shows of the year and Titus looked to be moving on after a decent match but Perkins slipped out of the Muff Driver and quickly hit a Puma Suplex that gave him his first actual win in NWA South Beach.
Winner: TJ Perkins
A quick vignette for Beach Brawl airs.
Match Number 2: Wade Barrett vs. PAC (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier)
South Beach owner Howard Schilling was a little bit more biased calling this match because of recent events with him and RedEye Flights. Barrett would dominate the early going of this match due to his 53 pound weight advantage over his adversary. Barrett looked to have the match in hand setting up for a Bullhammer but PAC would duck, hit a huge flurry of offense and land a Flaming Star Press for the upset victory!
Winner: PAC
The crowd would explode for PAC as Barrett looked supremely frustrated in the ring before going to commercial.
*assorted commercials*
We come back from break and head to the locker room where Rhett Titus is giving Kenny King a pep talk for his match later on this evening. King's cell phone rings and he picks it up. Before we can hear anything we go back to the ring for our third 1st round match.
Match Number 3: "The Kentucky Gentleman" Chuck Taylor vs. Amazing Red. (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier)
Like the Titus-Perkins match from earlier in the show this match showcased both wrestlers extremely well. Red would land Infrared, hit a Red Alert and a non-Mountain Dew(c) version of the Code Red, but STILL couldn't keep Taylor down. Chuck Taylor wasn't without his share of offense as he would connect with Sole Food and a cross-armed double-knee backbreaker but couldn't keep the 31 year old aerial enthusiast down. Eventually though Red would attempt a Red Sky Press that Taylor managed to roll away from, allowing him to lock in the Crosstown Crab! Red fought valiantly but eventually succumbed to the pain and tapped out giving Taylor the victory.
Winner: Chuck Taylor
Taylor celebrates in the ring as we head to the back where Jay Lethal and Uhaa Nation of the Straight Edge Nation
Lethal: Jimmy Jacobs. You are South Beach's Television Champion and since you won that title two months ago you haven't defended it ONCE. Now we got ourselves a little situation here. Over in Hybrid Pro there are two dudes going after the NWA North American champion and his little body guard. I propose an 8 man tag team match for Beach Brawl. Big Uhaa here and I will team with the Big Rig and Michael Shane. You and that freak big zeke can team with Ziggler and his little boyfriend. See you in Tampa if you four boys are man enough.
Match Number 4: "The Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses" Damien Sandow vs. Kenny King (Crossfire Cage match Qualifier)
Sandow would try to outwit Kenny King and succeeded for the most part, but King would show some very strong ring psychology of his own, finding some clever counters to some of Sandow's maneuvers. Sandow absolutely refused to take the "spot monkey" seriously, which would end up being his downfall as Kenny King would counter the Cubito Aequet into a school boy rollup for a win!
Winner: Kenny King
Sandow looked shocked as the crowd casually mentions that both members of Brains with Brawn have been eliminated from the tournament. Sandow leaves the ring and we waste NO time in getting to our first semifinal match
Match Number 5: TJ Perkins vs. PAC (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier semifinal)
PAC and Perkins know how to take to the skies and this match showcased both competitor's aerial abilities. This match wore both men down, but PAC managed to hit an Imploding 450 to keep TJ down long enough for a three count.
Winner: PAC
Both men shake hands and TJ wishes him the best of luck in the finals.
We get another vignette for Beach Brawl, highlighted by the Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match between the NWA World Heavyweight Champion and Bully Ray before heading to the ring for our next semifinal match.
Match Number 6: "The Kentucky Gentleman" Chuck Taylor vs. Kenny King (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier Semifinal)
The crowd was split pretty much 50/50 on this one as Kenny King's athleticism has really gotten over with the crowd. Both men were still recovering from their first round matchups but the action was still extremely crisp with each man almost being a little overcautious so as not to make a mistake to cost themselves the match. After 15 minutes of back and forth action, Taylor would go up to the top looking for a cross body, but the Pretty Boy Pitbull would catch him and hit a Royal Flush! King would cover for the three and move on to face PAC in the finals!
Winner: Kenny King
The crowd chants for Kenny as the announcers put over both of our finalists.
Hikaru Shida and Miyako Matsumoto from NWA JPP are standing in the back.
Hikaru: So this is South Beach huh? You know Miyako; we extended an invitation to women's tag teams from ALL around the NWA for a four way and for some reason South Beach, home of "the best women's talent on the planet", has yet to send a team. The home of the best talent in the world surely would have been the first to send a team...wouldn't they? Well we at NWA JPP take women's wrestling VERY seriously, and while we keep hearing that you'll be submitting a tag team at your Beach Brawl event on the 30th, we're going to make sure of it. So you see, we're personally inviting ourselves to Beach Brawl to scout the "talent" that South Beach has to offer. Save a spot on the beach for us!
A quick vignette for Boston, the host city of the Great American Bash, airs before we head to the ring to find out who will represent NWA South Beach in the Crossfire Cage Match.
Match Number 7: PAC vs. Kenny King (Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier Final)
The high flying Englishman vs. The Pretty Boy Pitbull. A spot at one of the biggest shows of the year in the NWA on the line. These men have went through hell over the past 2 hours to get to this point. The bell rings and both men go right after each other. The action is lightning quick, with both men maneuvering around the squared circle so fast the Schilling and Striker sound like they are calling a hockey game rather than a wrestling match. Pac sends King to the outside and scores with a HUGE suicide dive as we head to commercial.
*commercial break*
Back from break and King is in control of the match, trying to ground PAC. King stands PAC up and tries to hit a german suplex but PAC flips out and hits a poison rana! PAC with the cover! One....Two.....NO! King managed to kick out! Pac goes right on the offense and hits a variety of kicks to the chest of Kenny, eventually landing a kick to the back of his head that lays him out! Pac rolls him over and hits British Airways! That has to be it! ONE....TWO......NO! KENNY KICKS OUT AGAIN! There are dueling chants for Kenny and Pac at this point as King makes it to his feet and starts trading bombs with PAC in the middle of the ring. PAC misses wildly and King hooks him in a torture rack.....CORONATION! KENNY HITS THE CORONATION ON PAC! KING WITH THE COVER! ONE.......TWO..........NO! PAC KICKED OUT! PAC KICKED OUT! King looks frustrated as Howard and Matt wonder who's going to be able to survive this! King picks Pac up and goes for the Royal Flush but Pac slips out the back door, Kenny turns around and Pac lays him out with an enzugiri! King gets dragged over to a corner and PAC scales the turnbuckles! What is he going to try and pull off here......PAC BUSTS OUT THE RED ARROW! PAC WITH THE COVER! ONE.....TWO.....THREE! PAC WINS IT! PAC IS GOING TO THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!
Winner: PAC
PAC DID IT! PAC WON! The high-flying Englishman goes over to Kenny King and they shake hands after one hell of a match. The show looks about ready to go off the air...
*WAIT A MINUTE!*
JBL comes out with a microphone applauding PAC but it looks like he isn't out here to just offer congratulations to the victor.
JBL: Congratulations PAC congratulations indeed. You have ALMOST proven yourself worthy of representing South Beach in the Crossfire Cage match with your performance tonight. However there is ONE LAST obstacle you must overcome. This man, who has been chomping at the bit to prove himself in South Beach.
The crowd is abuzz in eager anticipation, when "SOS" hits and KOFI KINGSTON COMES OUT! A FRESH KOFI KINGSTON IS HERE TO STAKE HIS CLAIM AT THE BASH AND THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC! We then go to commercial.
*assorted commercials*
Main Event: Crossfire Cage Match Qualifier Final: PAC vs. Kofi Kingston
Striker and Schilling put over PAC winning the tournament earlier in the show to arrive at this opportunity, by defeating Wade Barrett, TJ Perkins AND Kenny King to advance to this point. PAC is on spaghetti legs as Kofi looks a bit unsure. He tells PAC to stay down, but PAC shakes his head no. Kofi smiles and nods while extending his hand. PAC shakes his hand and the bell rings. The crowd is going hoarse with dueling chants for Kofi and PAC as they circle each other. They lock up and while it's no surprise that Kofi can go in the ring, what is amazing is that PAC is still keeping up this frenetic pace. Counters and counters of the counters of counters are displayed until Kofi surprises PAC with the SOS! ONE....TWO...PAC KICKS OUT! Pac immediately with a dropkick and a seated senton and hooks the legs for a 1 count! Kofi goes for Trouble in Paradise and covers. ONE....TWO....NO! PAC has to be going on fumes right now! Kofi plants PAC with a powerslam and goes up top. Kofi shimmies his shoulders and it looks like a Super Boom Drop! PAC ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! PAC hits the ropes and does a back handspring, catches Kofi, and hits a tornado DDT! PAC rolls Kofi over, goes up to the top, CORKSCREW 630 SENTON! HE COVERS! ONE.....TWO.....THREE! PAC WINS IT! SOMEHOW PAC WINS IT!
Winner: PAC
PAC DID IT! PAC DID IT! PAC IS THE SOUTH BEACH REPRESENTATIVE IN THE CROSSFIRE CAGE MATCH! The crowd chants for PAC as he climbs the turnbuckles soaking in their cheers. PAC gets down and walks right into a Photo Finish from Mike Bennett! THE PISTOLS HAVE INVADED SOUTH BEACH! PAC somehow finds out the strength to get up but gets hit with Project Ciampa! Amazing Red comes down to try and help his tag team partner but gets ambushed by Brian Cage! Cage stuns Red and hits Weapon X! The Pistols celebrate in the ring but get chased out of the ring by Kofi Kingston! Kingston causes enough of a commotion that the Pistols decide to bail but as they get to the ramp Matt Taven comes out!
Taven: Congratulations Kofi, you went from not wrestling for 3 months to joining The Pistol's hit list in the span of three minutes. Since the two of you *points at Red and PAC who are being helped up by Kofi* have a match against two of us for the Hybrid Pro Tag Team Titles, how about we give you something to do as well? Kofi, you're gonna face off with Brian Cage! I hear the weather in Tampa is nice this time of year....too bad for the three of you it'll just be trouble in paradise!
South Beach TV goes off the air with RedEye Flights and Kofi standing in the middle of the ring, looking ready. Join us in Tampa on June 30th as NWA Hybrid Pro and NWA South Beach jointly produce Beach Brawl.

Taven: Congratulations Kofi, you went from not wrestling for 3 months to joining The Pistol's hit list in the span of three minutes. Since the two of you *points at Red and PAC who are being helped up by Kofi* have a match against two of us for the Hybrid Pro Tag Team Titles, how about we give you something to do as well? Kofi, you're gonna face off with Brian Cage! I hear the weather in Tampa is nice this time of year....too bad for the three of you it'll just be trouble in paradise!
South Beach TV goes off the air with RedEye Flights and Kofi standing in the middle of the ring, looking ready. Join us in Tampa on June 30th as NWA Hybrid Pro and NWA South Beach jointly produce Beach Brawl.
