"Rockit" begins to play over the speakers as Max Powers steps through the curtain to cheers from the crowd. After looking around at the crowd and nodding his head in approval, Max jumps up and then races down the aisle.
Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening! It is an 8-Person Tag Team Match with Scrambles Rules! Introducing first, from the Mushroom World! Weighing in at 168 pounds! He is one half of the FGA World Tag Team Champions... He is "Player 1," MAX POWERS!
After sliding underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, he pushes himself up and heads into the corner. Max climbs up onto the second rope and throws his index finger in the air. He then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and backflips off, landing safely on his feet in the ring to cheers.
Clement: At the conclusion of the Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament, the Young Guns were the last team standing. Will the SMWB be able to fend off one of FGA's hottest teams at All-Star Showdown III?
"Blackout" by Breathe Carolina begins to play and Chaz Holiday emerges from behind the black curtains. He stops at the top of the entrance, smiling and looking around at the crowd.
Cruz: And his partner, now residing out of Hollywood, California! Weighing in at 221 pounds... CHAZ HOLIDAY!
As he makes his way to the ring, he high fives fans along the way. As he gets to the ring, he jumps up on the apron and steps between the ropes, getting into the ring.
Clement: The Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship was stolen from him by Joshua Black. At All-Star Showdown III, Holiday will have his chance to get it back in a Steel Cage Match!
"Everybody makes mistakes...
Everybody has those days..."
The beginning of "Nobody's Perfect" by Hannah Montana plays over the sound system until it's cut off by a static. The lights in the arena dim down to nothing as the static is replaced by the sounds of a power clap coming from through the audience. "One! Two! Three! Four!
Everybody makes mistakes! Everybody has those days!
Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Everybody gets that way!"
When the beat kicks in heavily, Cyncity bursts out onto the ramp with her arms out to her side, pretending to be an airplane as she runs up and down the top of the ramp. When she's done messing around, she smiles and makes her way back to the top of the ramp. She stands at there for a moment, scanning the crowd, and feeding from their energy before she makes her way down the ramp, throwing her right arm in the air, taking in the audiences cheers.. She stops midway down the ramp and scans the crowd one more time, nodding her head and giving the audience a round of applause. She spins in a circle and does her trademark Sex Sells pose, her arms in the air, and buttom pushed out. Fans in attendance are heard whistling in her direction, as she breaks her pose and blows kisses to the audience. She slaps the hands of a few lucky fans, and even gives a few of them a hug as she marches her way down the ramp. She finally pulls away from the fans then continues her quickened pace toward the ring. Cruz: And their partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing in at 127 pounds... CYNCITY!
She slides into the ring and crawls toward the middle before getting to her feet. She blows a kiss at the crowd and climbs up to the middle rope, throwing her arms in the air and taking in the ovations with a grin on her face. Finally, she hops back into the ring and walks over to her corner, stretching out her limbs and waiting for the match to begin.Clement: Ever since Only the Strong Survive, Cyncity has had her record in the Gold Rush Rumble discredited by Johnny Karma. He even broke her trophy! At All-Star Showdown III, Cyncity will have her chance at revenge!
...Spoken...
"May I remind you again, this is a dream, and in dreams, you can do anything you darn please!"
(When the first bass drum thumps, the camera cuts to the entrance. But Dan Herrera doesn't come out. "Dangerous Business Since 1979" continues to blast over the PA. But Herrera never shows. Holiday lowers his head as Cyncity frowns. Powers just shakes his head with disgust.)
Grayson: Ha ha ha! It looks like the mario geek was right after all. Herrera isn't going to show!
Clement: Something's got to be up. Dan wouldn't do something like this!
The lights in the arena start to flicker as the beginning of "This Is The New Shit" by Marilyn Manson begins to play throughout the arena. A man walks out from the back wearing a black suit and a black shirt with a white tie. He has a thick beard and thick glasses. Obviously, this is Johnny Windham.
## Everything has been said before ##
## There's nothing left to say anymore ##
## When it's all the same ##
## You can ask for it by name ##
Next, wearing a tight black leather mini-skirt, a skin tight white shirt that says "Your Dream Come True" on the front in black lettering, and black go-go boots, Heather Black walks out from behind the curtain. Her shoulder length dark red hair is tied back and her outfit definitely shows off her figure.
## Babble babble bitch bitch ##
## Rebel rebel party party ##
## Sex sex sex and don't forget the "violence" ##
## Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely ##
## Stick your STUPID SLOGAN in: ##
## Everybody sing along. ##
Finally, out from behind the curtain, is the man everyone came to see, Joshua Black. Joshua is wearing his usual black tights that stop mid-thigh, with yellow trim at the waist and mid-thigh, and a black t-shirt with words "Flawless Victory" written on the front in yellow lettering. He stands at the entranceway between Johnny and Heather, looks around the crowd smiling, and starts heading to the ring.
## Babble babble bitch bitch ##
## Rebel rebel party party ##
## Sex sex sex and don't forget the "violence" ##
## Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely ##
## Stick your STUPID SLOGAN in: ##
## Everybody sing along. ##
Cruz: And their opponents! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Heather Black and Johnny Windham! From Phoenix, Arizona! Weighing in at 240 pounds. He is the reigning Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion... JOSHUA BLACK!
As the group gets to the ring, Johnny walks up the steps and walks into the ring. Joshua picks Heather up by the waist and places her on the ring apron, as Johnny holds the ring ropes open for her to climb in. Joshua slides under the bottom rope and walks over to the corner of the ring. He jumps onto the middle turnbuckle and stares out into the crowd, with a cocky grin on his face.
## Are you motherfuckers ready ##
## For the new shit? ##
## Stand up and admit, ##
## tomorrow's never coming. ##
## This is the new shit. ##
## Stand up and admit. ##
## Do we get it? No. ##
## Do we want it? Yeah. ##
## This is the new shit, ##
## Stand up and admit. ##
Joshua jumps off the turnbuckle and holds the ropes open for Heather to climb through the ropes. Johnny exits the ring and walks down the steps to the floor, then holds Heather's hand as she does the same as the music dies down and Joshua takes off his shirt and tosses it to Johnny.
Clement: Joshua Black has been able to cheat his way to that Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion. But at All-Star Showdown III, there will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide when Black is locked inside the Steel cage!
Red, blue, and green lights begin to flash as the opening chords of “Battle Without Honor or Humanity” by Tomoyasu Hotei begin to pour out of the speakers. Chaths makes his way out from the back, a black bandana covering his face. The crowd hurls boos and curses at him as he stops at the ramp and raises a single finger into the air. He slowly scans the audience as he brings the finger to where his lips would be. The attempt to silence the crowd only makes the audience boo louder. He begins to walk towards the ring, his finger still to his face.
Cruz: And his partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing in at 210 pounds... CHATHS!
The fans continue their verbal onslaught as he finally removes the finger and you can tell he's chuckling behind the bandana. He makes his way up the stairs and enters through the ropes. He scans the crowd once more before linking eyes with his opponent. Slowly, he reaches behind him and unties the bandana, revealing a smirk on his arrogant mug. He then reties the bandana around his head/neck before waiting for the match to begin.
Clement: Chaths has been outspoken since his return to FGA. But he's been able to back up his words in the ring! But what will happen at All-Star Showdown III when he's challenged by Danean?
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 the ring as he begins his slow, deliberate walk down the aisle.
Cruz: And their partner, from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 235 pounds! He is the reigning FGA World Heavyweight Champion... He is "The Tenacious Little Bastard," DOM HARTER!
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. 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 start.
Clement: Harter was able to escape the Gold Rush Rumble with the FGA World Championship. But at All-Star Showdown III, he will have to defend the title against the two men that he eliminated to win the belt: Dan Herrera and Jimmy Page. Will "The Tenacious Little Bastard" be able to escape Philadelphia with the World Championship?
The arena lights flash a myriad of different colours in tune with John Bonham’s epic drum intro to “When the Levee Breaks” fills the arena, and at the exact microsecond that the flawless combination of Robert Plant’s harmonica and Jimmy Page’s riff starts Cherry Baum steps through the curtain to present The Man, The Myth, The…Guy Walking Onto The Ramp Crutches With His Foot Heavily Bandaged?
Karma gamely makes his way down the ramp on his crutches, thanking the fans for their show of sympathy and support as he walks down to the ring.
Clement: What in the heck is this?
The pair reach ringside, as Cherry climbs onto the apron and holds the ropes open for Karma, but instead Karma lifts himself onto the apron and, after sliding the crutches into the ring, he rolls under the ropes before using Cherry and the ropes to get back to his feet.
Grayson: Clearly he's injured. Can't you see?
Karma hobbles across the ring towards the turnbuckles, thinking of climbing them for a moment, but deciding it would be a bad idea so instead he stands in the corner and raises an arm into the air, holding up one finger to remind us all of one simple truth – He’s #1.
Cherry Baum: Introducing first, the man you paid to see wrestle and the reason F
WA should be offering refunds…weighing in tonight at a light, tight, I’m afraid he can’t fight 233lbs, he hails from Queens, NYC – he is still in possession of his smile, he is JOHNNY KARMA!
Cherry steps aside and gives a round of applause as Johnny K hobbles into the centre of the ring on his crutches and he looks out to the crowd, before Cherry hands him the microphone.
Johnny Karma: Ladies and…ladies
Karma winks to the crowd
Johnny Karma: …as you can see, I am in no shape to compete tonight due to somehow injuring my foot at the last show. That means that, unfortunately for my teammates, they are a man down and, let’s be honest,
what a man to be missing. I can only offer my most sincere apologies but, really, it’s up to F
WA to arrange a suitable replacement – and I’m sure that they could’ve rounded up three or four ham and eggers to have as much talent in their combined bodies as I have in my little finger, but looking at the opposition that’s all they’d really need. So, in closing, good luck gentlemen, I’ll be rooting for you from ringside.
[Karma hobbles towards the ropes, handing the house mic to Cherry, then looks at the ropes before looking at the ref]
Johnny Karma: Errr…little help here?
[The ref looks to Karma’s would-be teammates, then realizes that Karma’s talking to him, so he steps forward to hold the ropes open, but as he approaches Karma drops one of his crutches]
Johnny Karma: Sorry, could you get that for me?
[The ref obliges, and bends down to pick the crutch off the mat…when Karma suddenly swings around with the remaining crutch, and clocks Cyncity over the head with it. As soon as the ref stands back up, Karma shrugs, then takes the mic once again]
Johnny Karma: On second thoughts, my foot’s fine. Looks like I'm in the match after all!
The bell sounds with Holiday and Powers being attacked from behind to boos from the crowd.
Clement: I knew Karma wasn't injured! It's bad enough this team is down a man. Now, Karma has just clocked Cyncity over the head with that crutch!

Herrera rolls back into the ring. He can be seen sizing up Chaths. Once Chaths turns around, he runs over and goes for a spear. But Chaths meets him up a high knee lift to the face to boos from the crowd. While Herrera is dazed, Chaths grabs him and whips him into the ropes. When Herrera comes back, he spears Chaths to cheers from the crowd.
Herrera then turns and looks across the ring. He sees a groggy Powers and Harter slowly getting up next to each other.
Clement: Three down, one to go. Herrera is about to spear Harter into next week!
Herrera sizes his target up before running across the ring... and spearing Powers.
Clement: What in the... ?
The crowd is shocked as Herrera gets up and looks down at Powers. Once Herrera looks up and turns around, Harter kicks him in the midsection. He then hoists up Herrera before planting him with Goodnight To The World to boos from the crowd.
Clement: Harter dropped Herrera right on his head! Could this be it right here...
ONE!

THREE!
"Superunknown" blares throughout the arena as the crowd erupts in boos.
Cruz: Here are your winners, DOM HARTER, JOHNNY KARMA, JOSHUA BLACK and CHATHS!
Harter rolls to the outside. After the ref hands him his World Championship belt, Harter turns and walks up the ramp as he holds his championship up to boos from the crowd. Back in the ring, Herrera can be seen holding the top of his head in pain. He looks over at Powers, who is still clutching his ribs for dear life. He then turns to the aisle and sees Harter, smug as ever, holding his arms in the air in victory.
Clement: I have no idea what just happened! I don't know where the hell Herrera has been all this time. But he finally made his arrival. He speared Black! He speared Karma! He speared Chaths! He had Harter lined up perfectly for a spear, only to spear his own partner for this match! I don't know what was going through Dan's head. But what did Harter do? He did the same thing he did at Only the Strong Survive. He stabbed Herrera in the back and got the win! All I know is this. If Dan does this again at All-Star Showdown III, he will have all but handed Harter the win...
