Izzy Anders vs. Gwen Margolis
The Mindkiller starts things off by offering Margolis a handshake. Margolis cautiously reaches forward and shakes the hand. She goes to walk away until Anders pulls her right back over to her. Anders stares down Margolis until Margolis rips her hand free and follows up with a forearm smash. Anders gets caught with two more forearms before getting knocked back with a European Uppercut. Margolis follows up with a spinning back kick before bringing Anders down with a snap suplex for a two count.

Margolis brings the action into the corner and hits Anders with three knife edge chops. The Mindkiller quickly takes Margolis, tosses her into the corner and macks the taste out of her mouth with the Stockton Slap. Margolis slowly turns back to Anders before getting caught with another Stockton Slap. Anders then sends Margolis slumping down in the corner with MUDA MUDA MUDA (Machine Gun Punches to Cornered Opponent) before applying a foot choke. Anders barely breaks the count in time. After ignoring the ref’s warning, Anders pulls Margolis back up, performs an irish whip, follows her across the ring and connects with a running European Uppercut. Margolis gets tossed out of the corner with a Biel Throw before Anders runs over and drops her to a knee with a step-up enzuigiri. The Mindkiller follows up with the HEAD BOOT! (Shining Yakuza Kick) for a two count.

Anders pulls Margolis to a vertical base and takes control of the back before knocking her down with Black Song (Hammerlock Lariat) for a two count. Anders makes another lateral press. Margolis kicks out at two. When Anders make another lateral press, Margolis kicks out at one. Anders then takes her by the hair and yanks her up to a seated position before delivering a soccer kick to the back. She then hits the far ropes, returns and flattens Margolis with A Gift for You (Izzy points to a random fan, before charging a downed foe and connecting with a Penalty Kick)! The Mindkiller isn’t done. She pulls Margolis back to a seated position before flattening her with another Gift for You for good measure. Anders opts out of going for another covering and instead, connects with a running knee drop. Margolis gets caught with a second running knee drop. Anders finally makes the cover by pressing her forearm down across Margolis jaw. But Margolis kicks out at two.

As the match continues, The Mindkiller sets up for a Lawn Dart into the far corner. At the last second, Margolis slips down from behind and counters with a German Suplex for a two count. Margolis continues to fight back by catching Anders off an irish whip rebound with a Samoan Drop for a two count. The Mindkiller gets sent back into the ropes. After getting stunned with a superkick, Margolis drops her to a knee with a basement dropkick before knocking her down with a superkick for another two count. Margolis sets up for another German Suplex when Anders counters with a back elbow to the face. She then performs a standing switch, spins Margolis towards her and catches her with Dirty Dancin’ (Kick Flurry) to the arms before bringing her down with a double knee armbreaker. Seconds later, Anders slips on the Amputator (Fujiwara Armbar)! Margolis tries to make it to the ropes, but Anders keeps her held in place. She tries to hang on. But the pain becomes too much and she ultimately taps.

Winner: Izzy Anders

[FGA Office]

Spencer Burke: Good evening. I'm Spencer Burke. Joining me at this time are arguably two of the most decorated grapplers to grace an FGA ring. They have broken and set countless records between them. Their trophy cases are filled with some of FGA's greatest accolades. Both grapplers were also the headliners of their Hall of Fame classes. To my left is a man that has collectively been a part of FGA for roughly seven years. To my right is a woman that has collectively been a part of FGA for roughly six years. With all of their time spent in FGA, they have never crossed paths in an FGA ring. That will change on Saturday, October 30 at All-Star Showdown X. It will be the FGApex vs the FGAce. Fujiko Mine vs. Chandler Scott. The phrase "Dream Match'' has been thrown around a lot over the last year. But this is a match that seemed like an impossibility this time last year. But now, here in 2021, it will become a reality. Fujiko, Chandler, welcome.

The camera quickly cuts to Fujiko, who sits there in a Francesca T-shirt, her newly customary black leather jacket, and bleached jeans. She offers a pleasant smile to Spencer.

Chandler Scott: Good to be here.

Spencer Burke: Fujiko, let me start with you. I think it would be fair to say that for you, this match is a dream come true. You've been very adamant about having a match with Chandler. Why does a match with him mean so much to you?

Fujiko exhales shortly.

Fujiko Mine: Spencer, this answer tells itself. Chandler Scott has rightly dubbed himself the “DNA of FGA”. He has been the face of this company for longer than some people want to admit. Whether he’s been loved or hated, he’s been an example of excellence in this company for an incredibly long time. And anyone who sees themselves as wanting to be the best has someone to live up to. And as you of all people know, Spencer - I want to be known as one of the best to ever exist in FGA’s history, if not the best. So I have to know what it’s like to pit my will against his. I have to know what will happen.

Spencer Burke: Chandler, I'm sure you imagined yourself in a different position heading into All-Star Showdown X. But a match against the likes of Fujiko is by no means a let down. What is your mindset heading into this match against Fujiko?

Chandler Scott: A match against Fujiko definitely isn’t a letdown by any means. If anything, the pressure remains high. Fujiko has proven herself to be one of FGA’s finest athletes. She is someone that has competed at the highest of levels over the past three years. So I’ve got to match her level.

Spencer Burke: Chandler, during your absence, we've seen multiple records of yours either be tied or broken. Your reign as International Heavyweight Champion was surpassed by Savannah Taylor and then the final champion, Cordelia Stevenson. You used to have the longest reign of any championship, but that was eventually broken by The Chaotics and eventually, Pendragon. You used to hold the record for the longest reign of a singles championship, but that was broken by Seth Iser before being eventually set by the woman sitting across the table from you. As the records have been broken over time, do you feel like you're slowly losing your place here in FGA? Do you feel like you lose a piece of your legacy when you see the things you've set be surpassed?

Chandler Scott: Records… records were made to be broken, Spencer. Some are broken faster than others. But these things do happen. Do I feel like a part of my legacy has been lost? No. People can set this, they can set that. People can take a certain benchmark and raise it to something else. But no one can take away what I’ve accomplished. No one can take away what I’ve done in that ring. No one can erase what I achieved first. Even when I was gone for two years, my name still rang out. That says everything that needs to be said, Spencer.

Spencer Burke: Fujiko, over the last number of years, you haven't shied away from the fact that you always felt disrespected. You never felt like you got your just due. As we sit here on October 14 2021, do you finally feel like you've gotten the respect that you deserve?

A humorless laugh escapes Fujiko’s lips. She looks away from both Spencer and Chandler as she answers.

Fujiko Mine: I really don’t want to rehash things that have made themselves increasingly obvious, especially recently. By the fans? I have never felt disrespected. They have always supported me, and ultimately, they have always mattered the most. I’m in the FGA Hall of Fame, alongside Chandler Scott himself. Some people can say I meant to ‘imitate’ the FGA greats, but I became one all my own - and that cannot be taken from me. But there is a convenient omitting of facts that happens when it comes to facing me. And I’m beginning to wonder if that will always be the case. But to answer your question, Spencer - I am at peace with my reputation as one of FGA’s best.

Spencer Burke: Fujiko, I think it's safe to say that you wish you were the one heading into All-Star Showdown X as the Undisputed Champion. As we look ahead to the pay per view, two women that you hold in high regard have a chance at walking out that weekend with the Undisputed Championship. Do you think either Izzy or Lowri can succeed where you failed against our current champion, Cordelia Stevenson?

A genuine smile replaces her stoic look.

Fujiko Mine: Absolutely. Lowri and Izzy are incredible athletes. I may ‘buck the trend’ and say that if Lowri was given another opportunity against me, I think she’d be able to make the necessary adjustments to win. I think she can make those exact same adjustments should she have to face Cordy for the championship again.

She raises her finger to her chin.

Fujiko Mine: But Izzy….I’ve known Izzy a long time. There’s no question about the nature of our relationship. There’s no question that we helped each other get to this point in our careers. And I know that Izzy is different. It would not be surprising in the least that we are treated to Izzy Anders vs. Lowri Moss on night two. And that is something I will be watching with great interest.

Spencer Burke: Fujiko, you've made it a point to remind people of the numbers. When it comes to both of your resumés, the list of accomplishments is long. Given how accomplished you both are here, what is it that makes you want to continue? You're both Hall of Famers. You've both been to the mountaintop. You each have achieved things here in FGA that very few have. What motivates you to walk through the curtain and step into an FGA ring again and again?

Fujiko Mine: First? The fans. They motivate me to keep going, even though I’ve made it to the hall of fame. They motivate me to try and break records that I may have set myself. They motivate me to want to prove that my reign was no ‘fluke’. That I can get there again. Second, there are amazing talent on this roster. Beyond just the established stars. People like Nina Stokes, Mighty Sparrow, Laura Perelli, TJ Techniques, Gareth Pritchard Jr, Cassius Reed, Ashley Sands and more. They want to be known like the Lowri Moss’, Chandler Scotts, Izzy Anders of FGA. And perhaps someday they will ask for a match with me like I am asking for one with Chandler now.

Spencer Burke: Not to get negative, but Fujiko, you've been unsuccessful in your recent championship matches. Chandler, in your limited action since returning, you've yet to win a match. This match, which will pit the FGApex vs the FGAce, is a high-profile match. Can either of you afford a high profile loss?

Chandler Scott: Can I afford a lost? I look at it like this. This isn’t a championship match. This isn’t a match for a championship opportunity. This isn’t taking place in a tournament. If we’re being honest, I’m not in championship contention. So when you take all of that into account, you could say I can afford a loss. When you take into account all the things that I’ve accomplished here, a single loss won’t take all of that away. So one could come to the conclusion again that I could afford a loss. My career was over this time two years ago. The fact that I’m even wrestling competitively in 2021 could be considered a win in itself. So could I afford a lost? I mean sure, technically. But while I’ve very grateful to actually be wrestling again… while I’m very grateful to be sharing a ring with the woman across the table from me… I won’t be walking into All Star Showdown with the mindset of someone that’s simply happy to be there. I’m walking into that arena with a point to prove. I’m coming in there to win.

Fujiko Mine: Can I afford to lose?

Fujiko crosses her left leg over her right and sits back slightly.

Fujiko Mine: Chandler Scott is too good for an extended losing streak. Logic and fate dictate that he is going to win eventually. He’s Chandler Scott. If he wasn’t, we wouldn’t be having this interview, we wouldn’t be talking about this as a dream match. This wouldn’t have been a match I was lobbying for way back at FGA Past v. Present. I imagine if I lose, I have to find a way to ‘bounce back’. I imagine hateful vultures will say I’ve ‘lost it’, and that I don’t deserve the spot I occupy anymore. I don’t want to give anymore thoughts about what happens if I lose this match, though.

She interlaces her fingers and places her joined hands on top of her kneecap.

Fujiko Mine: I know what I may be afforded if I win, though. The message that I was not handed my place. The message that I am no ‘imitation diamond’ as it was said about me? That vanishes. And the knowledge that I can indeed hand with the Ace of the company is enough for me.

Spencer Burke: As we head into this match at All-Star Showdown X, Chandler, what attribute of Fujiko's is the biggest threat to you?

Chandler Scott: Fujiko’s physical abilities are known. We know about the speed. We know about the agility. We know about the improved lower body strength. But I would say it’s her desire for more. This is a woman that’s done great things here. But she desires more. This is a woman that’s done things here that very few have, present company included. She’s breathed in that rarified air. Yet she still desires more. Spencer, I am “more”. I’m what she desires and when I say that, I’m not trying to imply anything slick. You saw her reaction during that Past vs Present announcement. You heard the tone in her voice when she demanded the match. You saw the disappointment when someone else was chosen. This is her chance to get what she wanted back in April. This is her chance to get something that she thought had been taken away from her forever. She’ll want to make the most of this.

Spencer Burke: Fujiko, same question.

Fujiko Mine: Like I mentioned earlier, Chandler Scott is different. There is no point in any match featuring Chandler Scott that the opposition can be ‘comfortable’ in their momentum. He can, and mostly likely will, turn it on the smallest opening. I am going to have to find reserves never before tapped, I am going to have to be better than great and possibly perfect to win. But that’s a challenge I welcome with open arms.

Spencer Burke: Do you guys have any final thoughts?

Chandler Scott: Fujiko is someone that I respect. But I’m not going to hold back because I respect. If anything, I have to come at her harder. Stronger. I can’t pull any punches in there because I know she won’t. There’s a reason why Fujiko’s dying to have this match. She just doesn’t want to share a ring with me, she wants to beat me. She needs to beat me. Fujiko wants that on her record. She wants to be able to hold that over my head and others. She wants to be able to say that she beat Chandler Scott at an All Star Showdown. I can’t allow that to happen. I won’t allow that to happen. She may think a loss to her is inevitable. She might fancy herself an Inescapable. But at All Star Showdown, Spencer… when it’s all said and done… every head will bow and every tongue will confess that Chandler… Reigns… Supreme.

Fujiko looks directly at Chandler as she speaks, her eyes slightly narrowed and her expression stoic again.

Fujiko Mine: Chandler, there are 3 people currently in this company that I expect won’t take the road the likes of Chris Madison, Cordy Stevenson and her peanut gallery, and Seth Iser find popular. Izzy Anders is one. Nina Stokes is the second. Lowri Moss is the last. I want to add you to that list, but I want to be very clear.

She uncrosses her legs, and then presses them against each other tightly.

Fujiko Mine: I want the very best Chandler Scott. Give me your all. I don’t want there to be any excuses, any doubts. When that bell rings, you better not hold back. Because you are getting the Inescapable. You are getting the Fujiko Mine that will not stop as long as she can draw breath.

Mark Bisley vs. Logan Alexander
The reigning Legacy and 15 Champion Mighty Sparrow joins the announce table for this next contest. Bisley ends up gaining the early advantage after reversing a collar-and-elbow in the corner.

Alexander then gives Bisley an inverted atomic drop before bringing him down with a russian leg sweep. Seconds later, Alexander comes off the middle rope with an elbow for another two count. Alexander takes control of Bisley’s legs and tries to turn him over into the Perfect Chaos Theory (Sharpshooter version). But Bisley uses his leg strength to push him back into the corner. Alexander comes out of the corner and tries to catch Bisley when he gets back to his feet with an attack. But Bisley’s able to strike first with the Anaconda Bite (superkick to an opponent's leg followed by a superkick to the kneeling opponent)! Bisley heads to the top and looks out at Sparrow before going for the Sapienza (frog splash to the opponent's legs)! But the lapse in judgement proves costly as Alexander’s able to roll out of the way in time. Bisley rolls to the outside and pulls himself up using the ropes until Alexander runs over and delivers a spear through the ropes, knocking him off the apron and sending them both to the floor!

Both grapplers remain down until Alexander starts to pick himself up. Once again, Alexander finds his attention shifting over to Sparrow.

Alexander is quick to take advantage by bringing Bisley down with the Chaotic Repeater (multiple German Suplexes) on the floor! Bisley gets rolled back inside before Alexander can make the cover. Bisley gets his foot on the bottom rope just as the ref’s about to count to three. Alexander goes for another Chaotic Repeater until Bisley counters with a back elbow to the face. Bisley hits the ropes to gear up for an attack. But he gets cut off on the rebound with another spear! Alexander then sets up for Stryke Force (Ace Crusher) when Bisley pushes him off into the ropes. Alexander gets doubled over off the rebound with a rolling solebutt before getting brought down with another hangman’s neckbreaker over the knee.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Stevenson tells Gonsalves to ignore them and make the damn tag. The United States Champion looks over at Sparrow and shrugs his shoulders before heading over and tagging in the Undisputed Champion. Stevenson then gets in and motions for the crowd to calm down before extending a hand to Sparrow. Sparrow looks over to his corner. Techniques doesn't look too hot on the idea while Reed is motioning for him to go ahead. The double champ then turns to the crowd.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

The ref sees this and immediately goes to the outside to check on Gonsalves. Sparrow gets to his feet and looks on from afar until Stevenson catches him from behind with a leaping reverse bulldog! Back in the ring, Reed grabs one of the Tag Titles from off the timekeeper’s table and slides it in to Techniques. He’s motioning for TJ to bash Voltage in the head with it. TJ looks at the belt… before sliding it back out to Reed. He lets Reed know that he doesn’t want to win that way. Techniques doesn't want to take the cheap route. But Voltage has no problems going cheap as he catches Techniques when he turns around with a kick below the belt. He then takes Techniques, delivers an irish whip, follows him across the ring before sending him crumbling out of the corner with Thunderstruck (Helluva Kick)! Stevenson grabs the ref, rolls him back into the ring and motions for him to make the count. The ref does just that! Reed slides in and tries to make the save, but Stevenson cuts him off with a dropkick just before the ref counts to three.
