Golden Dragon Yashimoto vs. Ryan Kidd
"Madhouse" by Anthrax begins to play as GDY and his manager Katana step out from behind the curtain. They threaten to slap or attack any fans within striking range and then make their way toward the ring.
Cruz: The following is your opening contest of the evening. It is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Katana. From Tokyo, Japan... weighing in at 228 pounds..... he is GOLDEN DRAGON YASHIMOTO!
In the corner Katana and GDY take in the boos of the crowd as they conspire on how to cheat their way to a victory and avoid the initial pat down of the referee.
Kevin Clement: Welcome fans to this latest presentation by Frontier Grappling Arts. We're coming to you from the Monroe Sports Center in Monroe, New Jersey on October 6, 2012. I am Kevin Clement. And joining me a always is my partner, Evan Grayson. Tonight, we have three big matches for you as we head into Fear Itself. FGA's latest supershow is less than three weeks away. And on that show will feature the New Frontiers Cup.
Evan Grayson: Eight men will compete in this tournament to crown a new #1 contender for the FGA Heavyweight Championship. We've all heard the names that have been rumored. Names have been thrown around left and right. But tonight, the participants get named. And it will be up to them to advance all the way to the finals and get that #1 contendership. Who wants it bad enough? We're going to find out at Fear Itself.
Clement: The FGA Heavyweight Championship is currently held by Chandler Scott, one half of The Harvard Connection. In tonight's main event, both members of The Harvard Connection will be in action as they take on Jared James and Mike Smith.
Grayson: This shouldn't even be much of a contest. I mean let's just state the obvious here. Yes, Chandler is the owner of the the sole championship here in FGA. But Chandler made his name as a tag team wrestler. The Harvard Connection are a sound tag team. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they've only lost one tag team match here in FGA. And on the other side of the ring are Jared James and Mike Smith. These are two guys who have no repoire, no chemistry. This is going to be a trainwreck in the making and The Harvard Connection will win in a route.
Clement: Strong words from Evan Grayson. Though with all due respect, you have been loud and wrong before. So tonight may just be a contiuation of that trend. But that's the main event. Let's send it back to Manny Cruz for the introduction of participant number two.
The screamed intro of "This Is What I Know About Sacrifice" boomed from the PA system. The lights began to flicker as the song kicks in. Ryan Kidd comes out from the back. He began hardcore dancing on the floor spinning around like there's no tomorrow before raising his arms up in the air to the delight of the fans. He walks down to the ring slapping some hands of the fans.
Cruz: And his opponent, from Long Beach, California.... weighing in at 209 pounds..... RYAN KIDD!
He goes around the ring slapping some more hands before stopping in front of a steel steps. He climbs the steps and stops at the ring apron before looking around the venue. He climbs the top rope from the ring apron and raises both his arms up before somersaulting down to the ring. He walks to the opposite side of the ring and raises his arms again before walking to his corner while his music fades.
Clement: And here is Ryan Kidd. This newcomer from California is looking to make some waves on the opposite coast here in FGA. From what I hear, this kid has a lot of upside.
Grayside: I'm sure he does. But that upside could mean absolutely nothing by the time Golden Dragon Yashimoto gets done with him. To say Yashimoto is unique would probably be the understatement of the century. He's uncanny. He's unstable. The man's dangerous, Clement. And Mr. Kidd is in the wrong place at the wrong time. His good looks may not last for much longer.
The bell sounds as both men circle the ring. They go to lock up when GDY quickly steps back, drops down on all fours and crawls backwards towards the corner. He then slithers to the outside and begins to slowly walking around the ring while muttering to himself. Ryan Kidd looks on with the most perplexed look on his face.
Clement: I think I agree with Ryan Kidd's sentiments. What in the world is going on here?
Grayson: Why do you look so surprised. Is there anything that Yashimoto does that's normal?
GDY continues to slowly walk around ringside until he darts over and kicks the barricade, scaring some of the fans in the front row. He then lets out a creepy smile to boos from the crowd. After toying with the fans, GDY turns back to the ring. He slowly slithers back in underneath the bottom rope and raises up to his feet. The two men then circle the ring once more. They then lock up. After jockeying for position, GDY moves Kidd back into the corner. The ref goes over and tells both men to break it up by the count of five.
Ref: 1.....................2..................3...................4..............
Both men slowly let go. While Kidd has his arms in the air, GDY lunges forward and bites his ear.
Clement: He's gnawing on his ear! Get him off, ref!
Grayson: Eat your heart out, Mike Tyson.
The crowd boos as Kidd can be seen flailing his arms wildly. GDY can be heard groaning as the ref has to physically pry GDY off of Kidd. The crowd boos as GDY backs up. His eyes widen as GDY never takes his eyes off of Kidd. He licks his lips with satisfaction as Kidd can be seen touching his ear to see if he's bleeding.
Clement: Thankfully it doesn't appear that Kidd is missing any part of his ear. But still! I can't believe that Yashimoto was let out of whatever padded cell they had him in.
Grayson: Hey, we always talk about guys showing killer instict. Well, I think GDY takes that phrase to a new level.
Once the ref tells him that he's okay, Kidd slowly exits the corner and circles the ring. GDY can be heard chuckling under his breath. Kidd then goes over to GDY to initiate a lock up. But GDY steps back. He then raises his arm in the air to boos from the crowd, calling for a knuckle lock. Kidd looks up at GDY's hand, then back at him. Kidd then turns to the face and points to GDY. The fans can be seen motioning for him not to do it.
Clement: I agree with the fans. Don't do it, Ryan.
But Kidd goes against the judgment of the fans and inches slowly towards GDY. Kidd slowly raises his hand up. He looks up at his hand, then back at GDY, then back to his hand, then back to GDY. Just as they're about to lock hands, GDY reaches up, grabs Kidd's hand and quickly begins to bite his finger to boos from the crowd.
Clement: He's done it again!
Grayson: Nom nom nom!
Clement: This isn't funny!
Grayson: It is when you're not the one getting your hand chomped on.
Kidd then rips his arm away from GDY's grasp and storms into the corner. He can be seen shaking his hand in pain. GDY's eyes widen again as he licks his lips with satisfaction. Kidd looks down at his hand, then back at GDY. A closeup reveals a visible bite marks on Kidd's index finger.
Clement: This Golden Dragon Yashimoto is sick. I wouldn't blame Ryan if he just left this match. Who knows what Yashimoto would bite next.
Grayson: Try not to give him any ideas.
The two men circle the ring. Kidd then runs over and locks up with GDY. Kidd uses his momentum to move GDY into the corner. The ref gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.
Ref: 1......................2...................3.................4.................
Both men slowly let go. While Kidd's arms are in the air, GDY tries to take advantage by lunging forward with a headbutt. But Kidd knew it was coming so he nails GDY with a forearm to the face. The crowd cheers. Kidd continues his assault by unleashing a series of stiff forearm strikes to the face. The ref then gets in and moves Kidd from off of him. Kidd gets into it with the ref, telling the ref that GDY bit him twice. As Kidd goes back to GDY, GDY nails him with a kick to the midsection.
Clement: Kidd took his eyes off of GDY and now he's paying for it.
Grayson: That's Ryan letting his temper get the best of him. Rookie mistake #1.
After slamming Kidd's head into the top turnbuckle, GDY turns him around and mudhole stomps Kidd down into the corner. While down in the corner, GDY places his foot across Kidd's throat and chokes him. He pulls down on the top rope for leverage as the crowd boos. The ref gives GDY until the count of five to break the hold.
Ref: 1......................2........................3.........................4...................5.
The ref attempts to scold GDY, but GDY quickly turns and storms after the ref, causing the ref to quickly scurry to the outside for his own safety. The crowd boos as GDY finds the ref's fear appetizing. He then turns and sees Kidd slowly pulling himself up in the corner using the ropes. So he charges into the corner and goes for a running clothesline. But Kidd moves out of the way, causing GDY to crash into the turnbuckles to cheers from the crowd. As GDY stumbles back, Kidd rolls him up with a scoop boy.

The crowd cheers. GDY's momentum sends him rolling underneath the bottom rope and to the floor.
Clement: Yashimoto gets sent to the outside as Ryan Kidd gets back on the offensive.
Grayson: He's using his speed and agility to get the better of GDY. That's smart. He knows that he can't play mind games him. He knows he can't outmuscle GDY. So use what you have to your advantage. Maybe this kid has got something afterall.
As Kidd gets up, he waves his arms up and down to get the crowd pumped up. Once he sees GDY getting up on the outside, Kidd runs into the ropes. When he comes back, Kidd charges forward and connects with a tope atomic, knocking GDY down to cheers from the crowd.
Crowd: RYAN KIDD! RYAN KIDD! RYAN KIDD! RYAN KIDD!
Clement: Ryan Kidd has the crowd on their feet after that dive to the outside. He's come here to make a statement and he's doing just that.
Grayson: But can he get him back inside for the pin?
Katana can be heard shouting at GDY to get up. But GDY looks worse for wear. After Kidd gets up on the outside, he picks up GDY and rolls him back in. Kidd then rolls himself back in before making the cover.
