Clement: Welcome Frontier Fans to another edition of Wednesday Weekly Combat! I am Kevin Clement. And joining me is Evan Grayson. Evan, we came off of an historic event just two weeks ago for FRONTIER. At 2012: A New Odyssey, the first ever FGA Heavyweight Champion was crowned. Grayson: That's right. We witnessed it live in front of the crowd in the Rahway Rec Center in Rahway, New Jersey. Michael Tomkins, The Rogue, was able to go through three men in one night to become the Frontier Heavyweight Champion. But instead of being crowned with the Heavyweight Championship, he got crowned in a totally different manner, courtesy of a Murphy's Law from Micky O'Reilly. Clement: No one seems to know what provoked that attack at the time. And we still don't. Hopefully by the end of the night, we'll get some answers out of Micky O'Reilly. And speaking of O'Reilly, he's going to have to prove himself in the ring tonight in this Triple Threat Match. Grayson: That is correct. O'Reilly, Jeremiah James and Chris “Psycho Dragon” Loki will all be making their FRONTIER in-ring debuts here tonight. Obviously each of these men not only want to impress, but want to walk away with a win. This should be a good starter for tonight's show. Clement: It should, indeed. In what has probably been the most buzzed about match all week, Jared James and Blaine Harrison will take on The Harvard Connection in tag team action. The Harvard Connection is known for their tag team prowess. However, they're up against a tough task in Jared James and Blaine Harrison. Grayson: I suppose so. But I look at it like this. Frontier's Championship Committee has named the top two challengers for Michael Tomkins' Heavyweight Championship. One of them is Jared. The other is Blaine. These two will have to team together tonight. And let's also not forget that Jared defeated Blaine in that “Chase for the Crown” tournament back at A New Odyssey. You think that won't come into play tonight? Clement: We'll just have to wait and see. And in our main event, it'll be our Frontier Heavyweight Champion, Michael Tomkins, going one on one with Jacques Mercier in his first match since becoming the champion. Grayson: Jacques Mercier knows what he's doing in that ring. He has a very unique style and has a lot of unique moves in his arsenal. Dare I say that Tomkins has never faced a man like Jacques before. So he has to be weary about that. Plus, everyone is asking who will get the title shot first between Jared and Blaine. But I look at it like this. If Jacques beats Tomkins here tonight, Jacques vaults himself all the way up near the top, if not the top, of that title contenders list. Clement: He most certainly would. We've got three solid matches for you here tonight. But first, I'm hearing that Justice Young is standing by with one of tonight's tag team participants. Justice.....

((We open up backstage where Justice Young is standing by with “Mr. Nice Guy” Jared James.))
Justice: Well Jared, I would say you have had a very active week and a half since 2012: A New Odyssey when we saw…
(Jared James, who still seems visibly frustrated from his loss in the finals, motions for Justice Young to cease.)
James: You want to know something, Justice? I don’t want to talk about what happened against Michael Tomkins. That is not only an insult towards me, but to this entire company. In fact, I would much rather not be here right about now. I have bigger things to worry about, bigger issues to press forward with…
Justice: The Harvard Connection?
James: No?! I have defeated those two spoiled brats so many times it is almost laughable. Oh no Justice Young, you will soon see what I am referring to. Until then, we shall no longer speak about the travesty which took place at 2012: A New Odyssey… we will only focus on moving forward, and trying to make the world right once more.
((It is on this note that Jared walks away, leaving a confused Justice Young standing on camera.))

Triple Threat Match Micky O'Reilly vs. Chris “Psycho Dragon” Loki vs. Jeremiah James “In Too Deep” plays as Chris “Psycho Dragon” Loki steps through the curtain to cheers from the crowd. After scanning the crowd, Loki walks down the small ramp and makes his way towards the ring.....
Cruz: The following is your opening contest of the evening. It is a Triple Threat Match that is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, residing out of Asheville, North Carolina.... Weighing in at 240 pounds.... CHRIS “PSYCHO DRAGON” LOKI!
Cruz: We haven't heard much from Chris Loki, or “PsyDrag” as he's sometimes called....
Grayson: That has to be one of the silliest names I've ever heard. What is that, anyway? The only thing I can think of that is sillier is his outfit.
Cruz: Well don't be fooled by the name or the attire. From the scouting report that we've got, this man is certainly no slouch in the ring. And I'm sure he'll be looking to impress in his FRONTIER debut.
The arena begins to blare with the tune of "Levels" by Avicii. As soon as the beat begins, Jay James walks out from behind the curtain to applause from the crowd. Jay James smiles at those in attendance before striking a pose, showing off his physique. He then casually walks down the aisle towards the ring.
Cruz: And his opponent, residing out of Boulder, Colorado.... Weighing in at 240 pounds..... JEREMIAH JAMES!
Once he approaches the ring he rolls underneath the bottom rope and pounces up to his feet. From there he looks about the venue, smiling as the crowd continues to cheer for him. He strikes yet another pose, once more showing off his powerful looking physique. After all of this is taken care of Jay James then walks over to his corner and sits on the middle rope, patiently awaiting the beginning of the match.
Clement: Jeremiah James, the younger brother of Jay James, will also be making his FRONTIER debut in this Triple Threat Match.
Grayson: I wonder, is he as much of a boyscout as Jared is?
Clement: Say what you will about Jared all you want, but Jeremiah is trying to distance himself from his older brother. He wants to make a name for himself on his own. He wants to accomplish things in this business on his own. You can't be mad at a young man who wants to take his destiny into his own hands.
“Teenage Kicks” plays as Micky gets pushed through the curtain by a member of the backstage crew and stumbles down the aisle to the ring whilst swigging from a 50cl bottle of Jameson whiskey before giving the half empty bottle to a young fan as a souvenir. He then walks up the ring steps and falls into the ring trying to climb over the top rope. The referee then helps him up, whispers into his ear to check he’s ok and slaps him to help him sober up.
Cruz: And their opponent, now residing out of New Jersey...... Weighing in at 240 pounds..... He is “The Slammer”, MICKY O'REILLY!
Clement: And here's Micky O'Reilly, the man that attacked our champion Michael Tomkins like a coward after he went through three matches in one night.
Grayson: Tomkins is a big boy. He knew what he signed up for. The champion has to always be on the lookout for the next man looking to knock him off the block. I don't blame O'Reilly at all for what he did.
The bell sounds as all three men circle the ring. O'Reilly looks at Loki. Loki then looks at Jeremiah. And then Jeremiah looks at O'Reilly. Jeremiah and Loki then charge over into the corner and double team O'Reilly to cheers from the crowd.
Grayson: Well this clearly isn't fair. This is supposed to be a Triple Threat Match, not a Handicap Match!
Clement: They aren't breaking any rules, so I see nothing wrong with it.
They pound away on him in the corner, hammering away with clubbing shots to the head and neck. They then take O'Reilly and whip him into the opposite corner. Jeremiah charges into the corner and connects with a running clothesline. O'Reilly then slips down in the corner from the impact. Loki then runs into the adjacent set of ropes. When he comes back, he charges and connects with a Krypton Kick to the face. The crowd cheers. Loki then grabs him by both legs, drags him from out of the corner and makes the cover. 1..................... Jeremiah drags Loki off of O'Reilly and covers O'Reilly himself. 1.........................2................. Loki dives over, pushing Jeremiah off of O'Reilly. Loki then hops on top of O'Reilly and covers him. 1......................2................... Jeremiah drags Loki off of O'Reilly again. Loki then slaps the canvas in frustration before getting back up to his feet.
Clement: Uh oh, looks like we've got a bit of a situation developing here.
Grayson: Finally!
Loki gets in Jeremiah's face and shoves him. Jeremiah responds by shoving Loki back. The force sends Loki stumbling into the ropes. But Loki bounces off the ropes, comes back and nails Jeremiah in the face with a forearm shot. He then nails Jeremiah with three more forearm shots to the face. He then nails Jeremiah with an openhand slap across the face to cheers from the crowd. After a kick to the midsection, Loki goes for an irish whip. But Jeremiah reverses, sending Loki into the ropes. When Loki comes back, he goes for a clothesline. But Jeremiah ducks and counters with a Ragin' Rockies Suplex. 1.............................2............... O'Reilly breaks up the pin with a stomp to the midsection. The crowd boos.
Clement: Good timing there by O'Reilly.
Grayson: Not bad for a drunk, if I do say so myself.
O'Reilly then picks up Jeremiah, brings him into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. He turns Jeremiah around and nails him with a headbutt that dazes him a bit. But Jeremiah is snapped back into reality after O'Reilly delivers a openhand chop to the chest that echoes throughout the arena. O'Reilly reaches back and unleashes another openhand chop to the chest. Jeremiah doubles over as he clutches his chest in pain. He then grabs a hold of Jeremiah and whips him into the opposite corner. O'Reilly charges into the corner, but he ends up getting a boot to the face that turns him around. The crowd cheers. As O'Reilly stumbles towards the center of the ring, Loki knocks him down with a superkick. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover. 1...........................2............... Jeremiah breaks up the pin with a falling double ax handle smash to the back.
Clement: Another PsyDrag pin attempt broken up by Jeremiah....
Jeremiah then picks up Loki and whips him into the ropes. When Loki comes back, Jeremiah goes for a clothesline. But Loki ducks and runs into the ropes. When Loki comes back, Jeremiah goes for another clothesline. But again, Loki ducks and runs into the ropes. When Loki comes back, he sends Jeremiah to the canvas with a headscissors takeover. The crowd cheers. Jeremiah gets up, but Loki knocks him down with a dropkick. The crowd cheers. O'Reilly gets up, but Loki knocks him down with a dropkick. The crowd cheers. Loki then picks up Jeremiah and whips him into the ropes. When Jeremiah comes back, Loki knocks him down with a running clothesline. The crowd cheers. He then points to O'Reilly before running into the ropes. When Loki comes back, he goes for a cross body block. But O'Reilly catches him in mid air and counters with Over The Rainbow, sending Loki flying over the top rope and to the floor. Boos and applause can be heard throughout the crowd.
Grayson: I hope he enjoyed that flight to the floor.
Clement: Talk about being airborne. O'Reilly caught Loki in mid air and, with brute strength, threw him behind his head and over the top rope. I hope Loki is okay after that hard landing.
O'Reilly then goes over and nails Jeremiah with a right hand, sending him stumbling into the ropes. O'Reilly then goes over and whips him into the ropes. When Jeremiah comes back, O'Reilly bends over to set up a back body drop. But Jeremiah stops himself and kicks O'Reilly in the face to cheers from the crowd. While O'Reilly is stunned, Jeremiah runs back into the ropes. But when he comes back, O'Reilly lifts him up and throws him down with a sitout spinebuster. The crowd boos as the ref starts to count. 1.............................2................. Jeremiah gets his shoulder up. O'Reilly picks up Jeremiah, gives him two knee thrusts to the midsection and then throws him down with a gutwrench powerbomb. He makes the cover. 1........................2................. Jeremiah gets his shoulder up. O'Reilly picks up Jeremiah and nails him with a European Uppercut, sending him stumbling into the corner. O'Reilly then goes into the corner and unleashes a series of knee strikes to the midsection, followed by a series of shoulder thrusts. He then brings Jeremiah from out of the corner and whips him into the ropes. When Jeremiah hits the ropes, Loki trips him up, sending Jeremiah face-first to the canvas. After dragging Jeremiah underneath the bottom rope and to the outside, Loki climbs up onto the apron. O'Reilly heads towards him, but Loki nails him with a shoulder thrust through the ropes, sending him stumbling back. Loki then goes for a springboard attack, but O'Reilly counters in mid air with the Caravan Cutter. Boos and applause can be heard throughout the crowd. He turns Loki over and makes the cover. 1...........................2................. Jeremiah breaks up the pin with a baseball slide to the head.
Clement: And another close pinfall was broken up by Jeremiah James! He's been in the right place at the right time all match.
Grayson: Yeah, but he hasn't put this match away himself. When he's gonna start doing that?
Jeremiah then picks up O'Reilly and nails him with a European Uppercut, sending O'Reilly stumbling back. But O'Reilly comes back and answers with a European Uppercut of his own. After shaking off the attack, Jeremiah gives him another European Uppercut. But O'Reilly comes back and answers with a European Uppercut of his own. Jeremiah then unleashes a flurry of European Uppercuts that rock O'Reilly. The crowd cheers. He then kicks O'Reilly in the midsection and goes for an irish whip. But O'Reilly reverses, sending Jeremiah into the ropes. When Jeremiah comes back, he knocks O'Reilly down with a running lariat. The crowd cheers. Jeremiah then picks up O'Reilly and whips him into the corner. Jeremiah charges into the corner and goes for a spear. But O'Reilly moves out of the way, causing Jeremiah to collide with the middle turnbuckle to boos from the crowd. After Jeremiah stumbles back and turns around, O'Reilly tackles him down with The Drunk Tank. The crowd boos. He then picks up Jeremiah, only to plant him with a DDT. Jeremiah can be seen clutching his neck in pain. O'Reilly then goes over, Jeremiah up, scoops him up across his shoulders and then plants him with Murphy's Law. The crowd boos. O'Reilly makes the cover. 1.............................2......................3.
Cruz: Here is your winner, MICKY O'REILLY!
“Teenage Kicks” plays as Micky O'Reilly barks at the ref to raise his hand in the air. The referee reluctantly does so, raising O'Reilly arms in the air to boos from the crowd.
Clement: Micky O'Reilly outlasts two other men and picks himself up the victory in his debut match.
Grayson: You sound surprised. All of these other men couldn't beat Michael Tomkins. Yet O'Reilly dropped him on his head and Tomkins was down and out for the count.
Clement: I'd love to see O'Reilly actually face a fresh Tomkins like a man.
Grayson: You may just get your wish sooner rather than later......

((The feed cuts backstage to where Justice Young is standing with Blaine Harrison and Jenny Zellor. Blaine is in his wrestling attire, purple and black boots and shorts, as well as a black FGA shirt. Jenny is wearing a pair of flared-at-the-knee jeans and a pink midriff top. Like usual.))
Justice: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Blaine Harrison and Jenny Zellor. Blaine, can I ask you about 'A New Odyssey'? How does it feel to have lost out at the chance of holding the FGA Championship?
Jenny: Geez. Don't sugar coat it then will you, Justice.
Blaine: That's alright. I'm disappointed in myself after 'A New Odyssey'. I defeated Jack Flener in under two minutes, I put on a stellar match against Jared James. But I wasn't good enough to get the job done.
Justice: Of course your match against Jared James was voted as match of the night.
Blaine: But I lost. The Patriots don't want to remember the Superbowl last week like I don't want to remember my match against Jared James. I mean, I need to learn from that and move on...
Justice: You say you don't want to remember it but, of course, your tag team partner this evening is none other than Jared James himself.
Blaine: That's right...
Justice: Two questions come to mind, Blaine. Firstly, can you and Jared work together after your previous two matches against one another--with him being the man who cost you a shot at the FGA Championship? We all know you two have had issues with The Harvard Connection--
Blaine: We have. It's simple, Justice. I can put aside what happened at 'A New Odyssey' for one night. And one night only, because next week I'm restarting my quest to become the FGA Champion. For all intents and purposes, Jared James isn't the man who cost me gold! He's just the man I have to trust to have my back and be in my corner tonight. He's the man who I'm teaming with in order to get a measure of revenge against Preston Blake and Chandler Scott. After they ruined our match with their interference, after they ganged up on Jared ... I don't think working together against these two is going to be a problem tonight, Justice.
Jenny: That's right.
Justice: Well, that brings us to the second question. An official announcement earlier in the week listed the requirements to be a contender for the FGA Championship. A competitor must have three wins in FGA in order to qualify for a title shot, which means the two top contenders at this moment are Jared James ... and yourself.
(Blaine hangs his head low, that certainly brings a new twist into the scenario he's in at the moment.)
Justice: Are you cautious at all knowing that your partner is also a top contender for the FGA Heavyweight Title?
Blaine: Short answer. Yes.
Justice: What's the long answer?
Blaine: Yes, very.
Jenny: We can trust Jared James, he's about as honorable a competitor as they come. I'm sure he's not going to turn on you to get rid of his competition.
Justice: He is 'Mr. Nice Guy'.
Jenny: You've said it before, Blaine, you respect Jared James for what he does in that ring.
Justice: Perhaps I should ask Jared if he's cautious about you being his partner tonight?
(Justice laughs, but neither Blaine nor Jenny find that funny.)
Blaine: I'm not about to screw Jared over...
((He says as he leaves the scene quickly followed by Jenny. Justice stands alone for a moment contemplating his faux pas before the show returns to ringside.))

Tag Team Match Jared James & Blaine Harrison v. The Harvard Connection The classic beginning notes of "Ride of the Valkyries" plays over the PA as the fans in attendance know who are about to grace them with their presence. Out through the curtain steps the Harvard Connection, along with Madison Stewart, to boos from the crowd. Chandler and Preston raise their arms in the air to continued boos. After being dissatisfied with the reaction they're getting, they make their way towards the ring. As they come down the aisle, they raise their index fingers in the air, letting everyone know who is truly number one. Chandler hops up onto the apron while Preston walks up the steps.
Cruz: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Madison Stewart..... coming in at a combined weight of 473 pounds, they are Preston Blake and Chandler Scott..... THE HARVARD CONNECTION!
After Preston wipes his feet off on the apron, the duo step into the ring. Chandler heads in one corner while Preston heads into the opposite one. Chandler climbs up onto the second turnbuckle. He stretches his arms out and tilts his head back. A big smile comes across his face as he closes his eyes, basking in his glory. On the other side of the ring, Preston climbs up onto the second turnbuckle and scans the crowd, looking down at the people below him in disgust.
Clement: The Harvard Connection's arrogance knows no bounds. They've done nothing but take low blows and cheap shots at Jared and Blaine all week, trying to stir up trouble where there clearly is none.
Grayson: You think so? Because if you think that, you're as naive as Jared and Blaine are. The Harvard Connection know what they're doing. They're a team. Jared and Blaine aren't used to teaming with each other. Hell, I don't even think they fully trust each other. The Harvard Connection has this match in the bag.
"Let's See Action" by The Who starts playing throughout the arena until Roger Daltrey's vocal booms forth as Blaine Harrison appears at the top of the aisle with Jenny by his side. Blaine poses with his right fist raised to the skies as Jenny stands to his left, lifting her right arm in the same manner. Three seconds later and they're making their way down the aisle, slapping hands with the adoring fans on their respective sides before Blaine slides in under the bottom rope; Jenny takes her place outside the ring as they wait for the match to begin.
Cruz: And their opponents.... Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Jenny Zellor.... Now residing out of Santa Barbara, California..... He weighs in at 216 pounds.... He is “Metal Heart” BLAINE HARRISON!
Clement: Blaine Harrison, one of the two top contenders for Michael Tomkins' FGA Heavyweight Championship. The other top contender? Jared James. Blaine says he trusts Jared and that for one night only, they will work as a team to take down The Harvard Connection.
Grayson: That's a nice little story. It's one that you clearly believe. But I think that Blaine is gonna turn on Jared, unless Jared gets to him first.
The Nosiecontroller's big hit "Gimme Love" starts up as the arena goes dark with a sole light fixated on the curtain. Smoke begins to pour into the venue when, finally, Jared James comes out from the back. As the music continues to blare, Jared James slowly walks down the ramp and to the ring. He is doing his best to get the crowd going, giving high fives and signing a couple of autographs until he finally reaches the ring. Once he reaches the ring James goes to the nearest turnbuckle and climbs it, throwing both arms into the air as the crowd goes crazy.
Cruz: And his partner, now residing out of Durham, New Hampshire.... Weighing in at 197 pounds.... He is “Mr. Nice Guy” JARED JAMES!
Clement: Jared James came so close to finally achieving his dream nearly two weeks ago at A New Odyssey. He was so close to becoming the first Frontier Heavyweight Champion. But that championship slipped through his grasps.
Grayson: He's clearly been affected by the loss. He doesn't smile as much as he used to. He almost seems pretty irritable. All the more reason for me to believe that he's going to turn on Blaine the first chance he gets....
The bell sounds as Preston and Blaine stay in the ring to start things off. After circling the ring, Blaine stops. He hears Jared shouting from the apron that he wants a piece of Preston. So Blaine turns around and holds his arms out, as if to ask 'what's the problem?' Jared repeatedly tells him that he wants Preston. But Blaine walks over and tells him that he's got this. However, Jared tells him that he really wants a piece of Preston. While Blaine's back is turned, Preston sneaks up from behind and knocks Blaine down with a clothesline. The crowd boos.
Grayson: Look at that! They're not on the same page. They're bickering like a married couple. I told you this was gonna happen, Kevin.
Preston then proceeds to put the boots to Blaine before dragging him away from the corner and towards the center of the ring. He then turns over Blaine and delivers a quick elbow drop. He makes the cover. 1..................... Blaine kicks out.
Preston picks up Blaine and whips him into the ropes. When Blaine comes back, Preston knocks him down with a back elbow to the face. He then goes over and delivers a stomp to the face to boos from the crowd. Preston reaches down, picks up Blaine and rakes him across the eyes to boos from the crowd. The ref scolds Preston while Jenny slaps the apron on the outside in anger. Blaine can be seen stumbling over towards the ropes while he holds his eyes in pain. Preston then comes up from behind, grabs him and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos. He turns Blaine around and delivers a knife-edge chop that echoes throughout the building. He then brings Blaine from out of the corner and goes for an irish whip. But Blaine reverses, sending Preston into the ropes. When Preston comes back, Blaine knocks him down with a dropkick to cheers from the crowd. Preston gets up, but Blaine knocks him down with a clothesline. Preston gets back up, but Blaine knocks him down with another clothesline. Once Preston gets up, Blaine throws him down with a scoop slam. Blaine then runs towards the ropes. When Blaine hits the ropes, Jared slaps him across the back, tagging himself in. Blaine stops himself and gets a puzzled look on his face when Jared steps into the ring. Jared then places his hand on Blaine's shoulder and tells him that he's got this. Blaine sighs before stepping out onto the apron.
Grayson: How about that? More tension from Jared and Blaine. Blaine says he'll work with Jared. But apparently, Jared never got that memo.
Clement: I think it's just a lack of communication, that's all.
Grayson: Uh huh, if you say so....
Jared then goes over to pick up Preston, but Preston nails him with a punch to the midsection. He quickly gets up to his feet, grabs Jared, runs into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. Preston then tags in Chandler Scott to boos from the crowd. Madison can be heard cheering on the outside. Chandler delivers a series of mudhole stomps, sending Jared sliding down in the corner. Chandler then nails Jared with a right hand.... and another right hand.... and another. He then reaches down and chokes Jared with his foot while he pulls down on the bottom rope for leverage to boos from the crowd. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.
Ref: 1.....................2..................3................4...............
Chandler lets go. He reaches over and tags Preston back in. Once Preston gets in, The Harvard Connection picks up Jared and whips him into the ropes. When he comes back, they deliver a double back body drop to boos from the crowd. After Jared slowly gets up holding his back and turns around, the Harvard Connection knocks him down with a double dropkick to boos from the crowd. Preston makes the cover. 1......................2............. Blaine breaks up the pin with a stomp to the back. The crowd cheers.
Clement: So much for your theory.
Grayson: He's just saving face, that's all....
As Blaine heads back to the outside, Preston picks up Jared and wrings his arm. Jared can be seen cringing in pain. Preston then wrings his arm again..... and again.... and again. After Preston delivers another arm wringer, Jared rolls forward, leans back, kips up and counters with an arm wringer of his own to cheers from the crowd. But the cheers soon turn to boos once Preston rakes him across the eyes. He then takes Jared and whips him into the ropes. When Jared comes back, Preston goes for a clothesline. But Jared ducks and runs into the ropes. When Jared comes back, he slides through Preston's legs. When Preston turns around, Jared gets up to his feet and throws a kick. But Preston catches his foot. He then spins Jared around. But after Jared comes back, he nails Preston with a hard forearm shot to the face. The crowd cheers. He then takes Preston and whips him into the ropes. When Preston comes back, Jared knocks him down with a dropkick. The crowd cheers. Preston gets back up, but Jared throws him down with an arm drag. The crowd cheers. When Preston gets back up, Jared goes for a hip toss, but Preston blocks it. So Jared goes for another hip toss. But again, Preston blocks it. So Jared punches him in the midsection, doubling him over. He then drapes his leg across the back of Preston's neck and performs a backflip. But after Jared lands on the canvas, Preston grabs him by the hair and throws him down with a mat slam. The crowd boos.
Grayson: Ha ha ha! Preston is so smart. Then again, he is a Harvard man.
Clement: Perhaps you should go down there and cheerlead right along with Madison....
Preston then goes over and tags Chandler back in. Once Chandler gets in, he goes over to Jared, picks him up and nails him with a series of knee thrusts to the midsection. He then takes Jared and whips him into the ropes. When Jared comes back, he goes for a cross body block. Chandler catches him in mid air to boos from the crowd. However, Jared repeatedly elbows him in the head until he slips down from out of Chandler's grasps. He then quickly kicks Chandler in the midsection and plants him with a DDT. The crowd cheers. Jared then gets up, goes over and tags Blaine back in. The crowd cheers. Once Chandler gets up and turns around, Blaine knocks him down with a springboard flying clothesline from the top rope. The crowd cheers. He makes the cover. 1.............................2............... Chandler kicks out. Blaine then picks up Chandler and goes for an irish whip. But Chandler reverses, sending Blaine into the ropes. When Blaine comes back, Chandler scoops him up onto his shoulder to boos from the crowd. He then runs across the ring for a running slam. But Blaine slips down from behind and counters with a reverse DDT. The crowd cheers. He makes the cover. 1...........................2............... Chandler kicks out. Blaine then picks up Chandler, nails him with a toe kick to the midsection and follows up with a knife-edge chop. He then takes Chandler and whips him into the ropes. Blaine goes for a leap frog. But Chandler spots it early and holds onto the ropes. Once Blaine comes back down on the canvas, Chandler runs over and goes for a running forearm smash. But Blaine ducks, sending Chandler running into the ropes. When Chandler comes back, Blaine takes him down with a hurricanrana. He then mounts himself on top of Chandler and hammers away with punches to the face. The crowd cheers. But the cheers turn to boos once Preston runs over and shoves Blaine off of Chandler. Preston turns around to head back to the outside. But Blaine quickly gets back up, grabs Preston from behind and tosses him through the ropes and to the outside. The crowd cheers.
Grayson: Oh come on, what was that for?
Clement: What was THAT for? How about Preston coming in and shoving Blaine!?
Grayson: He was just trying to stop Blaine from using those closed fists on Chandler. Closed fist punches are illegal, you know.
Clement: Oh please...
Blaine can be seen yelling at Preston while he lays on the floor. But while his back is turned, Chandler comes up from behind and nails him with a double ax handle smash across the back of the neck, dropping him to his knees. He then places Blaine's neck across the middle rope and pushes down, choking Blaine to boos from the crowd. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.
Ref: 1.........................2....................3.................4...............5.
Chandler immediately breaks the hold and walks away, holding his arms up as if he's innocent. But the ref goes over and scolds him. While the ref's back in turned, Preston goes over and pulls down on Blaine's neck with both hands, choking him to boos from the crowd.
Clement: Oh come on, ref, turn around!
Grayson: Where's Blaine's partner when he needs him? Oh, that's right, watching Blaine get doubled team and softened up, making it easier for his road back to a title match.
Clement: I don't think so.....
But the boos soon turn to cheers as Jared comes around the other side of the ring, sending Preston retreating. Back in the ring, Chandler picks up Blaine and nails him with a forearm smash to the face, sending him stumbling into the corner. As Chandler approaches, Blaine throws out a toe kick. But Chandler catches his foot. After Chandler drags him from out of the corner, Blaine nails him with an enzuguiri, knocking him down. The crowd cheers. He turns over Chandler and makes the cover. 1.........................2................ Chandler gets his shoulder up. Blaine picks up Chandler and delivers a snap suplex. He then points to the top rope. The crowd cheers. Jared reaches his hand out for the tag. But Blaine doesn't see him. Instead, Blaine steps through the ropes and begins to climb the turnbuckles.
Grayson: Wow, now Blaine isn't going to even acknowledge Jared's call for the tag.
Clement: He clearly didn't see him.
Grayson: And if by “clearly he didn't see him” you mean “Blaine purposely ignored him”, then you're one hundred percent correct.
But once he reaches the top, Preston walks across the apron and begins to argue with him to boos from the crowd. While Blaine is distracted, Chandler runs into the corner and shoves Blaine's legs out from underneath him, causing Blaine to lose his balance and wind up crotched on the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos while Madison applauds on the outside. Back in the ring, Chandler climbs up onto the second turnbuckle, grabs Blaine and delivers a superplex. He floats over on top of Blaine and hooks the leg. 1..........................2................. Blaine gets his shoulder up. The crowd cheers. Jenny can be seen slapping the apron on the outside.

((The shot goes over to the backstage area where the FGA Heavyweight Champion, Michael Tomkins, is walking down a corridor with his title sitting over his shoulder. Justice Young appears out of nowhere with a mic in hand, walking beside him.))
Justice: Michael, moments after your victory against Jared James in the Chase For The Crown tournament, you were physically assaulted by Micky O’Rielly. Do you have any comment about that?
Tomkins: I’m preparing for my match right now, Justice. I’ll let you know after I’ve reclaimed my three seconds.
Justice: Alright, then, Champ.....

((The camera pans to the backstage area where Justice Young stands with a grinning Jacques Mercier))
Justice Young: At A New Odyssey we crowned our first FGA Heavyweight Champion when Michael Tompkins overcame seven other competitors in the Chase for the Crown Tournament. His his debut as champion is up next and he's facing a man who a lot of people considered to be a darkhourse for the Chase the Crown Tournament. Unfortunately he lost in the first round to one half of The Harvard Connection, Chandler Scott. Jacques, what do you think was the reason for your lost at the Super Show?
(The grin still on his face, Jacques takes his time to respond.)
Jacques Mercier: I underestimated the pretty boy, really. He's got fight in him, I'll give him that, but should we ever cross paths again the result will be very different.
Justice Young: A newcomer to the wrestling scene, it must have been exciting knowing that you had the shot to become the first ever champion in FGA. Opportunities like that don't come very often. What-
Jacques Mercier: You're absolutely right, Justice. Title shot opportunities don't just fall into your lap like that, and at first I was disappointed that I let the belt get away from me. Then I was booked to face the champ in the main event and that disappointment turned into raw determination. Like I said, title shots don't just fall into your lap, sometimes you've got to grab that b*tch by the waist and pull her towards you. My victory here tonight should send management a message about who their first number one contender should be.
Justice Young: Speaking of being number one contender, a lot of people are saying that Jared James and Blaine Harrison are the favorites to get first pickings at the title.
(Jacques scoffs.)
Jacques Mercier: Like hell they are. I didn't even bother to watch their match against The Harvard C*cksuckers because I just don't care. The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter if Jared or Blaine get the pin, I'll be the ONLY person on the roster to have beaten Tompkins. Any trivial wins that those two have under their belt will be all for naught after this show is over. Now, my focus at the moment is Mike Tompkins. I have a lot of respect for the guy, I really do, and I really am happy for him, but the party has to end sometime. Unfortunately for him, it was in the cards for me to face him this week.
Justice Young: Did you do one of those fancy tarot card readings for this week?
Jacques Mercier: Uh, no. I meant the matchcard.
Justice Young: Oh...
((Jacques looks at Justice before shaking his head and walking off screen.))

Main Event "The Rogue" Michael Tomkins v. "Black Magic" Jacques Mercier The lights cut to black as “I Still Wanna” by Pusha T ft. Rick Ross and Ab Liva begins to play. At around the 12 second mark, The lights begin to flash and at the 24 second mark, Jacques Mercier comes out with a huge grin on his face. He stops at the top of the stage, soaking in the atmosphere, before nodding his head and walking towards the ring. He doesn’t bother using the stairs, preferring to just slide into the ring. He walks to the nearest turnbuckle and climbs it to another ovation before climbing down and waiting for his opponent.
Clement: This young man has a lot of confidence in himself. He feels that if he can defeat Tomkins here tonight, he will jump to the very front of that top contender's list.
Grayson: It's true, he would. Plus, Mike Tomkins is a rookie, just like he is. They've both been wrestling the exact same amount of time. If Tomkins can do it, why not him?
“Hey Ho Let’s Go” by the Ramones hits, and Michael Tomkins walks through the curtain, stopping at the top of the entrance ramp to cheers from the crowd. He looks around before removing the Belt from his shoulder and holding it above his head to an even bigger pop. Tomkins then places the belt back over his shoulder before walking down to the ring, with a look of intent. He rolls into the ring and passes his Title to the referee who passes it to the time keeper.
Clement: And here comes The Rogue, our Frontier Heavyweight Champion! This man would not give up and would not stay down. He had his eye on that FGA Championship and he would not be deterred.
Grayson: He wouldn't stay down, huh? Well, he sure did stay down after Micky O'Reilly dropped him on his head, now didn't he?
Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute. And it is your main event of the evening! Introducing first, residing out of Boston, Massachusetts..... Weighing in at 230 pounds.... He is “Black Magic” JACQUES MERCIER!
(The crowd cheers)
Cruz: And his opponent, from London, England.... Weighing in at 225 pounds.... He is the reigning Frontier Grappling Arts Heavyweight Champion.... He is “The Rogue” MICHAEL TOMKINS!
(The crowd cheers)
The bell sounds as both men make their way to the center of the ring and shake hands. They then circle the ring. After making their way back over towards each other, they lock up. After jockeying for position, Jacques uses his strength to move Tomkins over into the corner. The ref quickly scurries over and tells both men to break it up by the count of five.

Clement: Pretty even matchup thus far.
Grayson: Both of these men are trying to prove a point. They're not about to give up an inch in this thing...
Tomkins quickly takes him by the arm, brings him up to his feet and delivers an arm wringer. Tomkins then delivers another arm wringer. The ref asks Jacques if he wants to give up, but Jacques refuses to quit. Jacques then rolls forward, leans back, kips up and counters into a side headlock. But Tomkins shoves him off of him and into the ropes. When Jacques comes back, Tomkins tries to knock him down with a running shoulderblock. But it's to no avail. So Tomkins then runs into the ropes.

As Jacques gets up, Tomkins throws a roundhouse kick to the head, but Jacques quickly stumbles back, avoiding the move. He then falls through the ropes and lands safely on his feet on the floor. Jacques then takes his time walking around ringside while Tomkins never takes his eyes off of him.
Grayson: Good thing Jacques moves out of the way. Because had he not, his head would have been somewhere in the tenth row right now.
Tomkins then runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he goes for a baseball slide. But Jacques side steps and dives back into the ring. As Tomkins rolls back in, Jacques quickly falls on top of him and applies a front facelock again. The ref asks Tomkins if he wants to give up, but Tomkins refuses to quit. After bringing Tomkins back up to his feet, Jacques transitions from the front facelock to a knee lift to the face. He then nails Tomkins with a left jab, followed by a right jab, followed by a left uppercut, followed by a pendulum step side kick to the chest, sending Tomkins stumbling through the ropes and out onto the apron. The crowd cheers. As Tomkins pulls himself up using the ropes, Jacques goes to grab him. But Tomkins ducks and counters with a shoulder thrust through the ropes.

However, Tomkins slips down from behind and rolls up Jacques. 1........................2................ Jacques kicks out. As both men get up, Tomkins throws a roundhouse kick. But Jacques ducks and counters with a falling clothesline. He makes the cover. 1............................2............... Tomkins kicks out. Jacques picks up Tomkins and goes for an irish whip. But Tomkins reverses, sending Jacques into the ropes. When Jacques comes back, Tomkins bends over to set up for a back body drop. But Jacques leap frogs over him and runs into the ropes. When Tomkins turns around, Jacques connects with a baseball slide to the shin, bringing Tomkins down onto one knee. He then gets up and runs back into the ropes. When Jacques comes back, Tomkins raises up and takes him down with an STO. The crowd cheers. He makes the cover. 1............................2................... Jacques gets his shoulder up.
Clement: What a back and forth contest this has been. I'm truly impressed with both thus far.
Grayson: Tomkins is the champion, so I wouldn't expect anything less from him. And Jacques is hanging in there because clearly the man wants it. He wants that crack at the FGA Heavyweight Championship before Jared and Blaine.
Tomkins picks up Jacques and nails him with a forearm strike to the face before moving him into the corner. After delivering three knee strikes to the midsection, Tomkins takes Jacques and whips him into the opposite corner. Tomkins charges into the corner, but Jacques nails him with an elbow to the face.

Clement: I almost thought it was over there.
Grayson: He's hanging in there. And he's doing it without Timmy Brown in his corner, too.
Jacques picks up Tomkins and throws him down with a scoop slam. He then steps through the ropes, makes his way across the apron and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Once he's near the top, Tomkins runs into into the corner, runs up the turnbuckle and unleashes a flurry of right hands to the face. But Jacques is able to block one of the right hands, counter with an uppercut and then shoves him off the top turnbuckle and back down to the canvas. The crowd cheers. Jacques then steps up onto the top turnbuckle and goes for the Showstoppa Elbow. But Tomkins rolls out of the way, resulting in Jacques crashing onto the canvas. The crowd cheers.
Clement: And nobody's home! That could have very well turned the tide.
Grayson: You think? Those high risk moves are called “high risk” for a reason. Jacques was feeling a little gutsy and now, he's paying for it.
Jacques can be seen clutching his arm in pain while Tomkins can be seen slowly turning over onto all fours, then getting back up to his feet. He goes over, picks up Jacques and whips him hard into the corner. As Jacques stumbles out, Tomkins kicks him in the midsection, grabs him from the side, delivers a russian leg sweep, rolls throw it and applies an armbar. The crowd cheers.
Clement: Armbar! He's got the armbar applied! Could this be it!?

Cruz: Here is your winner, MICHAEL TOMKINS!
“Hey Ho Let's Go!” plays as Michael Tomkins slowly gets up to his feet. The ref goes over and raises his arm in the air to cheers from the crowd. A dazed Jacques Mercier soon comes to. The fans give him a round of applause as he slowly gets up to his feet. As he slowly turns around, Tomkins goes up to him and shakes his hand. The crowd cheers. Jacques then slowly exits the ring as Tomkins again raises his arms in the air to cheers from the crowd. Tomkins then quickly calls for his FGA Heavyweight Championship belt and a microphone, which is hastily given to him.
Clement: Well, Justice asked him the questions. Let’s see what the Champion has to say.
Tomkins: After the Supershow where I won my Title, I just have a few things I need to get off my chest. Jared James, you put up one hell of a fight against me. I will give credit where credit is due. You vowed to shut me up. You vowed to become the first ever Champion. You said that I was green and you would punish any mistakes that I made. Well…
(Tomkins holds his hand making a sign of an inch, pausing for a moment.)
Tomkins: You came this close to keeping your word. You fought hard, made me really give everything I had to gain the victory. But in the end I didn’t make a mistake. I defied the critics, all of them. Everyone that said without Tim in my corner, I would amount to nothing. That’s you, Jared, as well as Blaine, the Harvard Connection, Grace Adams, Timmy, all of the commentators and quite a few of the fans who had something to say via email after I first defeated Jack Flener. I’m the only undefeated guy left on the roster who has competed. I have won six matches without defeat. I won the tournament and I am your Champion!
(A huge pop from the crowd. Tomkins flashes a cocky smile, before raising the belt up one more time.)
Tomkins: Let me hear it again, guys. “Tomkins… Tomkins…”
(The crowd responds, chanting the name of the Champion.)
Grayson: Look at him, pandering to these people. They aren't gonna help him retain that title.
Clement: Please, these people love Michael Tomkins. They respect and appreciate everything that he's done in FRONTIER thus far....
Tomkins: Not only am I the Champion, but I’m the first Champion. No one else will ever be able to say that. And it was well deserved, save one match. Chandler Scott, I have to say I’m sorry. Though you aren’t always the fairest of guys, I can’t say I am thrilled at how I got past you. You will get a shot at my Title in due time. As I am sure Jared will too. Both of you gave me a hard time. Chandler, my back is still sore after you went to work on it. And from the additional punishment I received at the end of the night, I’m sure that didn’t help. O’Reilly. I want you to get out here, right now!
(“Teenage Kicks” by the Undertones hits, and moments later, Micky O’Reilly appears from behind the curtain with a half empty bottle of whisky in his right hand, and a mic in the left. He stops at the top of the ramp, staring straight into the ring at Tomkins. The crowd don’t quite know how to take the new comer, so most sit in silent, while a few cheer and a few boo.)
Tomkins: So, now at least I can meet you face to face, on a night where I am completely fresh. How’s it going, Micky? You alright?
O’Reilly: Fine, fella.
Tomkins: So… Friday night, at 2012: A New Odyssey I won the FGA gold. And while I was celebrating, you felt the need to jump me. If you want a shot at the Title, earn it. Don’t jump me. Get to the back of the line, get in the ring and earn yourself a number one contender’s match. I don’t like your attitude about any of this, and I have to say, I’m pretty mad. Explain yourself before I walk up that ramp and shove my fist down your throat!
(The fans cheer once more for Tomkins, as he stares on at O’Reilly. Micky looks around for a moment, as if he doesn’t quite know where he is, before raising the microphone to his face.)
O’Reilly: I'm going to let you in on a secret Hopkins. I don't like you.
(The crowd reply in unison, a loud booing reverberating through the building.)
O’Reilly: Hold on now, what you're all forgetting is that I'm the good guy here. What you all don't realize is that your so called Champion isn't the man he pretends he is. Are you mate? But I know a little secret about young Michael, a secret he doesn't want you all to know.
(O'Reilly walks toward the ring whilst he's addressing crowd, weaving side to side slightly, pausing mid-way to give a young audience member the remainder of his drink.)
Clement: What's he doing? You can't just give that to a minor!
Grayson: LIke you never had a drink underage. Let that boy take a swig....
(O'Reilly continues up the steps and into the ring, stepping between the top and middle ropes. He steps up to face Tomkins, looking him directly in the eye.)
O’Reilly: For now, that secret's gonna stay with me, but let me ask you this. How did it make you feel when you spat at Ms. Adams? Or how about when you ordered your woman to follow you? Making her leave her family behind. Did it make you feel good about yourself fella? I ain't interested in your bit of shiny tin, I just want you. Next time you feel like getting aggressive with a woman, you come find old Micky and find out why they call me "The Powerhouse"
Tomkins: Why wait?
(Tomkins throws his Title to the floor and starts swinging at O’Reilly who holds up his guard, before kicking out with his right foot, knocking the Champion of balance. Micky O’Reilly follows up with a stiff clothesline that takes Michael Tomkins down. O’Reilly runs into the rope and delivers a Traveller’s Knee, causing the Champion to roll over in pain. The Irishman leans over to pick Tomkins back up to his feet and lifts him onto his shoulders, posing for a few seconds before hitting Murphy’s Law.)
Clement: That’s two shows in a row the Irish newcomer has made a statement and bettered our Champion. Clearly these two don’t get along. But where is Micky O’Reilly getting his facts from? That’s all we have time for tonight. See you all next time here at FRONTIER!......
