Plymouth DVD Taping (6.8.13)

[FGA Office]

(( Alexia Brandt can be storming the backstage halls in pursuit of Johnny Blayze. But that pursuit seems to be all for nothing as Blayze is nowhere to be found. A frustrated Brandt turns and sees the camera filiming her. She then heads over to the camera and grabs it by its lens with both hands. ))

Alexia: Blayze you piece of shit! I've had it with you ducking me! I've had it with you, your smug face and your empty words! You want to start using chains to get out of actually facing me? All it's done is inspired me! Every single one of these fans wants to see someone give you the beating you're asking for, and I'm going to make sure you can't duck out this time!

I'm going to the FGA Head Office, and requesting a special match, just for you!

You like to think that all women are bitches? I think you're just a rabid dog that needs to be put down.

You want to use chains? Let's see how you like having one wrapped around your throat!

There'll be no more running, Johnny, because at All Star Showdown, it will be Alexia Brandt vs. Johnny Blayze in a DOG COLLAR MATCH!

[FGA Office]

Chris Bond vs. Bob Pooler

“Unleashed” blasts out of the speakers as the curtain is pulled back and out steps Bob Pooler. Cellphone flashes illuminate him in an almost strobe light affect as he stands there soaking in the energy.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, now residing out of Boston, Massachusetts by way of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Weighing in at 218 pounds.... BOB POOLER!

He smiles as he hears the boos from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring pulling back from the hands of those closest to the guard rail. He rolls under the bottom rope and stands up in the corner, a smirk on his face as he stretches his arms across his chest and awaits the start of the match.

Clement: There's a lot of history between these two. I'd like to think that this match goes beyond FGA and goes beyond The Murder. I'd like to think that at the end of the day, after all that they've accomplished and the roads that they've traveled together, that despite whatever side of the line they stand on... they still respect one another.

"If you take a life, do you know what you'll give...
Odds are, you won't like what it is...
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me...
By the merciless eyes I've deceived...
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights...
But you yourself are nothing so divine...
Just next in line..."

The house lights dim in the smaller facility, and multi-colored lights soon flicker throughout the filled-to-the-brim center. The crowd jumps to it's feet, blowing the roof off from the much smaller arena as Chris Bond makes his way out from behind the curtains. As he emerges from behind the curtain, there is a small burst of excitement from the crowd. With a spotlight lighting his way, Bond makes his way down the aisle and towards the ring, even slapping a few hands on the way down.

Cruz: And his opponent, now residing out of Chicago, Illinois by way of San Antonio, Texas. Weighing in at 238 pounds.... CHRIS BOND!

Soon enough he jogs up the stairs, and walks along the ring apron before wiping his feet. Chris Bond steps over the second rope and into the ring. The self-proclaimed legend of the wrestling world walks to the center of the ring and stands there for a moment, as flashes go off through out the waves of fans. He circles the ring, arms outstretched, as the fans cheer loudly once again. Bond enjoys this, as his trademark smirk re-emerges on his face. Heading to his corner, Bond does a few stretches as he waits for the match to begin.

The bell sounds as both men make their way to the center of the ring. After having a staredown, the two men then ask each other if they're ready. The two men then step back before circling the ring. The two legends then lock up. After jockeying for position, Pooler throws down Bond with an arm drag. The crowd boos. After Bond gets up, he makes his way back over and locks up with Pooler.

As Bond gets up, Pooler runs over and connects with a dropkick, sending him stumbling through the ropes and to the floor. As Bond gets up, Pooler runs into the ropes. When Pooler comes back, he motions for a dive to the outside. But Bond scurries out of the way, causing Pooler to tiger feint through the middle & top ropes and back into the ring. Bond turns around and sees Pooler motioning for him to get back into the ring.

Clement: These two men know each other extremely well. Neither man has really been able to gain a prolonged advantage in this one. Neither man wants to go all out just yet because they know what the other is capable. But both of these men want to win. They want to prove to each other who truly is the better man.

After slowly making his way up the steps, Bond enters the ring. After circling the ring, the two go to lock up. Pooler ducks the collar & elbow tie up and applies a waistlock from behind.

Pooler gets up, but Bond knocks him down with a clothesline. The crowd cheers. As Pooler gets back up, Bond nails him with a knee strike, doubling him over. He then takes Pooler, runs forward and tosses him over the top rope to cheers from the crowd. As Bond turns away from the ropes, Pooler grabs the top rope with both hands and hangs on for dear life. After regaining his composure, Pooler “skins the cat”, pulling himself over the top rope and back into the ring. But when Pooler turns around, he's met with a running clothesline from Bond, sending him over the top rope and to the floor to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: And Pooler is sent down hard to the floor after that clothesline.

Grayson: This match thus far has been about One-upmanship. These aren't a bunch of wild high fliers. Though Pooler can fly. These aren't two greenhorns charging at each other. These are two veterans, two legends that are thinking two and three steps ahead. Everything they've done thus far is calculated. Everything they've done has had a purpose. No wasted motion with these two.

As Pooler gets up on the outside, he slaps the apron with both hands in frustration. Bond then heads over, sits down on the middle rope and holds up the top rope for Pooler. The crowd cheers as Bond has a smirk on his face. But Pooler finds nothing funny. After circling the ring, Pooler rolls back in. The two men go to lock up, but Pooler kicks him in the midsection.

Clement: I'm still waiting for The Murder to swoop down and attack.

.
TWO!
.
.
Pooler gets his shoulder up to boos from the crowd.

Clement: As much as Bond wants to beat Pooler here tonight, you just have to know that in the back of his mind, he's thinking about Chris Q. If Q beats Harter tonight, then Bond could have another crack at the FGA Championship. But even if their match remains non-title, the thought of redeeming himself against Chris Q is something that has run through his mind ever since Only the Strong Survive.

Cruz: Here is your winner, CHRIS BOND!

Bond heads into the corner, climbs up onto the middle ropes and raises his arms to cheers from the crowd. Down on the canvas, Pooler sits up and tries to shake out the cobwebs.

Clement: Chris Bond has done it. He's bested Bob Pooler.

Grayson: I'll give him credit. I didn't think he could do it. But he...

Clement: Wait, what's this?

After the match, Bond and Pooler slowly make their way to the center of the ring. Bond extends his hand, offering a handshake. Pooler stares down at the hand. The wheels turn in his head. Does he cheapshot Bond? Does he tow the party line and make Bond pay for lowering his guard? Does he show this man, the man that he respects, the man that helped him birth Revival, a sign of respect. Or does he simply just walk away?

Clement: What's he going to do?

Grayson: Clock him! CLOCK HIM!

He just gives Bond a blank stare as Harter and Drake can be seen rushing the ring.

Grayson: And here comes the crows!

Clement: Dammit, not this again...

Bond hears them coming from behind and turns around only to see Pooler step in front of him, arm up, hand extended signaling Harter and Drake to stop.

Grayson: What?

Clement: I don't understand. What is Pooler doing?

Pooler turns back around and, after slowly looking back up at Bond, slowly reaches out... and shakes his hand.

Grayson: WHAT!?

Clement: Alright! There's still a heart in there afterall.

Bond's mouth curls into a slight smirk. But Pooler doesn't show any emotion. Bond tries to let go of the hand, but Pooler clutches his hand for dear life.

Clement: Oh no...

Bond tries to break free, but it's to no avail. He looks at Pooler in confusion. Pooler pulls him in close and whispers something in his ear before letting go. Whatever he said doesn't sit well with Bond who shoves him away disgusted. Pooler shrugs, and with a glance at the two men on the outside of the ring, turns his back to Bond as his fellow Crows attack.

Clement: That son of a.... damn him! DAMN him!

He walks over to the ropes and leans on them, taking in the boos from the crowd as a smile spreads across his face.

[FGA Office]

All-Star Showdown II is just under two weeks away. FGA's latest supershow will be coming to you from the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, New Jersey.

Just Signed Tonight!

4-Way Tag Team Match
The Usual Suspects vs. Future Shock vs. KoolStorm vs. The Motto
Four FGA tag teams look to battle for positioning in this tag team showcase. With the announcement of the Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament and the eventual debut of the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship, could this match serve as a preview of what's to come?

4-Way Fray
Heather Halliwell vs. Wade Nolan vs. Noah van Dyke vs. Jacob Demore
Three FGA newcomers, plus the returning Jake Demore, look to impress in their FGA supershow debuts. Speed, power, and aerial ability will all be on this display in this four way match. With Scramble Rules in place, the action will certainly be wild and fast. Which of these grapplers will separate themselves from the rest of the pack as we head into Summer?

Already signed!

Wayne Carruthers vs. Johnny Karma
Wayne Carruthers and Johnny Karma have impressed many since their arrivals in FGA around the same time. Both men host popular talk shows. Carruthers is currently unbeaten in singles action. Karma has not only defeated Chris Bond, but he's also had the most eliminations and lasted the longest in the Gold Rush Rumble. It seemed as if it was only a matter of time until these two crossed paths. And they did on a rare in-ring version of Wayne's World, when Karma crashed the party and showed nothing but disrespect to Carruthers. FGA Officials have been dying to see these two go at it for quite some time. But after the altercation that happened at the White Plains DVD Taping, they've decided to put two of FGA's rising stars in the same ring. Word has it that a Pride Championship match could be in the future for the winner of this match. Can Carruthers continue to defy the odds and prove the doubters wrong? Or will Karma once again back up his talk inside the squared circle?

Jason Richards vs. Anton Chase
In a different promotion a year ago, Anton Chase defeated Jason Richards. During their second encounter here in FGA, Richards was able to best Chase one on one. Since then, Chase has targeted the American Wolf. Chase refuses to be used as a stepping stone. He refuses to have Richards make a name for himself here at his expense. So a tiebreaker of sorts has been set. After eliminating each other from the Gold Rush Rumble and with one win a piece, who will be able to walk away from this match with their arm raised in victory?

Special Attraction
A.J. Fairchild vs. John Pariah
PWX mainstay and wrestling superstar John Pariah accepts Fairchild's challenge for this Special Attraction. It's student versus teacher. Fairchild vs. Pariah. Did Pariah teach Fairchild everything he knows... or only everything he wanted him to know? And can Fairchild continue his path back to the FGA Championship by going through his very own mentor?

Camellia D. Magna vs. Michael Tomkins
Michael Tomkins has returned to the company that he once dominated. The former FGA Champion vows to become the FGA Champion once again. But first, he set his sights at the “bottom” of the company with Camellia D. Magna. Tomkins has repeatedly sent his associates to do his dirty work for him, including eliminating Magna from the Gold Rush Rumble. But Magna has not backed down once. The Southern Belle refuses to be intimidated by Tomkins or his lackeys. At All-Star Showdown II, Tomkins will no longer be able to hide behind Koolstorm, Dan Thorton, Timmy Brown or anyone else. Will Magna be able to capture the biggest win of her career? Or will Tomkins be able to fend for himself?

Johnny Blayze vs. Alexia Brandt
Now a DOG COLLAR MATCH!
Johnny Blayze blamed his failure to win the Gold Rush Rumble on newcomer Alexia Brandt. While it's true that Brandt did eliminate him, she has repeatedly offered Blayze the chance to prove himself one on one against her. But all of her challenges have been ducked by Blayze. Ever since turning on Pat Gordon, Jr, Blayze has showed a more vicious side to him. And that viciousness was on full display when he threw a fireball at Brandt. But after weeks of ducking, Blayze won't be able to run for much longer. Can the "Third Wave Threat" get her long-awaited revenge on Blayze? Or will Blayze be able to prove how "superior" he is?

Chandler Scott vs. J.T. Cash
Now for the PRIDE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Chandler Scott has always been over the top with his display of arrogance. But it's been taken to a new level after injuring Kevin Hardaway, winning the Pride Champion and capturing the GFC World Heavyweight Championship in Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER. J.T. Cash sees a lot of his former self in Chandler. He used to be cocky just like him. He used to flaunt his success in everyone's face just like him. But after the death of his close friend and his return to the wrestling world, The Enigma has a different approach to life. After publicly making his dislike for Chandler's actions known, Cash has vowed to humble the Harvard alum and take his Pride Championship in the process. For now, this match remains non-title. Will Chandler continue his recent hot streak? Or will Cash be able to rekindle his past glory and potentially capture the championship?

Chris Q vs. Chris Bond
After coming so close to becoming the FGA Champion, Chris Bond challenged Chris Q to a rematch for the FGA Championship. A challenge that was promptly denied by the then-champion. During Chris Q's title defense against Dom Harter, it could be argued that Chris Bond played a part in his loss by inadvertently helping Harter. Chris Q has made it known that there are four men on his hit list (The Murder and Bond). And after Bond once again interjected himself into his business, Chris Q greeted him with a chairshot to the head, followed by a Compactor onto the chair for good measure. A win over Chris Q could vault Bond to number one contender status. Can he learn the errors of his ways from Only the Strong Survive and be the first person to cleanly pin Chris Q in the center of the ring? Or will the Big Bad of FGA continue his rampage until all four names on his Hit List have been snuffed out?

STEEL CAGE MAYHEM
The Murder vs. Pat Gordon Jr, Ryan Kidd and _____________
After six months of watching The Murder wreak havoc on FGA... after six months of fighting an uphill battle against The Murder... this is what it comes down to. All three members of The Murder (Malcolm Drake, Dom Harter and Bob Pooler) taking on Pat Gordon, Jr, Ryan Kidd and a Mystery Partner in FGA's first-ever "Steel Cage Mayhem" Match. The match will start with two grapplers entering the Steel Cage. Every five minutes, one man from each team will enter the ring until all six participants have entered. Eliminations can occur by pinfall or submission. Eliminations can also occur at anytime during the match. The match is won when all three members of a team have been eliminated. Will Pat Gordon, Jr and company finally rid FGA of these murderous crows? Or will The Murder add three more bodies to the pile they've left in their wake?

[FGA Office]

(The show cuts backstage to where the FGA Champion, Dom Harter is standing, leaning back against a wall. He is dressed in his ring attire with a The Murder hockey jersey over the top, with his championship title slung over one shoulder. A cocky grin crosses his face as he looks to the camera.)

Dom Harter: Tonight is the night. The night where I prove once again why I deserve to be the FGA Champion.

(Harter chuckles to himself.)

Dom Harter: You see, a month ago I beat the Big Bad in the middle of that ring. But some people – the doubters, the haters – they say I stole his belt. The pretenders say I’m not a real champion, that I don’t deserve this title…

(The grin fades from Dom’s fade, replaced by a scowl.)

Dom Harter: Well TONIGHT … you get to see why Malcolm Drake has placed his faith in me. You see in the last six months we have razed the grounds on which FGA was built. The blood, the sweat and the tears that everyone put into this place … gone. And we have rebuilt this promotion in our image. We – Malcolm Drake, myself, Bob Pooler – we have made this place great again. And your white knights, their valiant deeds … they’re all in vain. Tonight I shall once again bring The Big Bad to heel, to humble him in front of all these witnesses. And the lumberjacks – not gonna change a damn thing! If a crow has to fly solo … we’re still twice the wrestler anyone else on this roster is, we’re still more dangerous, more vicious than any of you could even imagine.

Dom Harter: Q, you have the misfortune to find this out first hand, but soon the world will know. Because I will walk into Secaucus and All Star Showdown II as the FGA Champion. And on that night we, The Murder, will once and for all vanquish those valiant knights, Junior, Kidd and whosoever is unfortunate enough to stand with them. And when we do, when we have cast them aside … when we have the top prize in our grasps … you can all bow before us, pray that we don’t turn our sights to you. You can hope you’ll be safe. But no-one is safe. And tonight I will prove that by once again defeating the Big Bad of FGA…

(Harter walks out of shot as the show resumes normal service.)

[FGA Office]

Clement: The main event is upon us. It's the Lumberjack Match for the FGA Championship. Dom Harter vs. Chris Q. We've got Bob Pooler, Malcolm Drake, Chandler Scott, Michael Tomkins, Anton Chase and Johnny Karma on one side of the ring. We've got Chris Bond, Jason Richards, A.J. Fairchild, Camellia D. Magna, Heather Halliwell, Wayne Carruthers, Pat Gordon, Jr and Ryan Kidd on the other. Let's send it down to Manny Cruz for the ring introductions...

MAIN EVENT
Lumberjack Match for the FGA Championship
(c) Dom Harter vs. Chris Q

"The Earths Rotation Around the Sun" begins blasting through the speakers. From the top of the entrance way, Chris Q emerges to an extremely negative reaction. Embracing the negativity from the audience, Chris Q makes his way to the ring while getting into the faces of a few fans. When he gets to the ring, Chris Q stares at the lumberjacks in his way. After they reluctantly part for him, Chris Q slides under the bottom rope and slowly gets to his feet. The fans continue to boo as Chris looks out into the crowd with a cocky smile across his face. Chris Q once again yells at the fans as the music dies down.

Clement: It was roughly a month ago when we saw Chris Q taste defeat for the first time ever. For the first time, Chris Q didn't walk out with his hand raised. And he came back with a vengeance in his match against Malcolm Drake. Tonight, he's got the rematch that he wanted. And with these lumberjacks at ringside, will the playing field stay leveled? Or will all hell break loose? I don't think Chris Q cares either way. He only cares about hurting Dom and taking back the championship.

Grayson: Chris Q was an unpleasant person to be around before. Now, even moreso. The man has a laser like focus on Dom Harter and that FGA Championship. That belt was apart of him. It helped define him and him it. And when that belt was taken or "stolen" from him, The Murder and Chris Bond mad him even angrier and even more hostile. Now, they have to deal with the repercussions.

The opening chords of “Superunknown” begin to play throughout the arena as Dom Harter steps out from behind the black curtain. He stands there, stroking his beard with a devilish grin on his face, not once taking his eyes off his opponent] as he begins his slow, deliberate walk down the aisle. Harter ignores most of the fans in attendance, their boos not affecting him as he climbs up the steel steps and enters the ring through the ropes. Harter scans the lumberjacks as he walks along the apron. Once inside, Dom makes his way to the corner as he rests his arms on the top rope and his forehead against the turnbuckle pad as he waits for the match to begin.

Clement: Some say that Dom rightfully won that belt from Chris Q. Others says that he stole the belt from Chris Q. Regardless of your opinion, Dom Harter is the FGA Champion. He is the man to beat right now. And even before the encounter with Chris Q, he was one of the premiere talents in the company.

Grayson: Exactly. Let's not act like Dom stumbled into that championship win. He wasn't given anything. He took advantage of the opportunity at hand. And anyone else in his position would have done the same thing. Dom Harter is a hell of a fighter and a hell of a wrestler. The man has blazed his trail through FGA. He went through nearly two dozen other grapplers by winning the Gold Rush Rumble. And then he did the unthinkable. He beat Chris Q. He snapped his streak and took his belt. Now he's looking to beat Q for a second time. I don't know what type of damage another loss to Dom would do to Q. And frankly, Dom couldn't care less.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. It is your main event of the evening. And it is a Lumberjack Match for the FGA CHAMPIONSHIP!

Cheers and applause can be heard throughout the crowd.

Cruz: Introducing first, from Lone Oak, Texas. Weighing in at 241 pounds. He is the self-proclaimed Big Bad of FGA, CHRIS Q!

The crowd responds with a downpour of boos.

But the pushing and shoving turns into an all out brawl amongst the lumberjacks as the crowd cheers.

Clement: The lumberjacks have turned on each other! The ringside area is pandemonium!

Dom looks on at the madness that has engulfed the ringside area. Suddenly, a commotion can be heard in the crowd. A different camera angle shows the crowd parting as someone makes their way through them. The fans scream and jump up and down with excitement as this person passes them. As the camera focuses in, it's revealed to be none other than Kevin Hardaway.

Grayson: What!?

Clement: Kevin Hardaway! It's Kevin Hardaway! KEVIN HARDAWAY IS HERE!!!

But he's quickly grabbed by the arm by Drake, who spins him around. But Hardaway decks him for his troubles. Chandler sees the opportunity to escape and takes it, slipping his way through the ruckus before taking off up the aisle. Hardaway tries to go after him, but he's jumped by Pooler. Both he and Drake then begin to double team Hardaway. But Kidd and PGJr make their way back over to them and even up the odds.

Back in the ring, Harter can't take his eyes off the action as he looks at his fellow Crows and then Halliwell fight among the lumberjacks.

Cruz: Here is your winner and NEEEEEEEEEEEW FGA Champion, CHRIS Q!

The lumberjacks look on with varied looks of disgust, annoyance and anger as Chris Q gets handed the FGA Championship belt.

Clement: Chris Q has done it!! He's regained the championship!!! He's become FGA Champion again!!!!

Q staggers over into the corner. After pulling himself up onto the middle ropes, he slowly raises his FGA Championship belt to a downpour of boos.
