All-Star Showdown III

[FGA Office]

[FGA Office]

Kevin Clement: Welcome everyone to ALL-STAR SHOWDOWN III! We are coming to you from the famed 2300 Arena right here in Philadelphia, PA! Joining me as always is my colleague, Evan Grayson. Evan, we've got a jam packed card tonight!

Evan Grayson: Nine bouts of non-stop action! We've got titles on the line! We've got scores being settled! Everything you could possibly look for in a card, we've got it here tonight! You want Battle Royals? We've got that. You want tag team action? We've got that. You want pure wrestling? We've got that. You want the rules thrown out the window? We've got that.

Clement: That's right. Tonight will feature TWO main events! The first main event is the Chivalry is Dead Match between Chris Bond and Kevin Hardaway!

Grayson: This has been over six months in the making. Respected veterans turned good friends turned bitter enemies. That's the best way to describe this one. Bond won the first match at International Incident. Hardaway evened the score at Only The Strong Survive. Tonight, it's for all the marbles as all the rules get thrown right out the window!

Clement: That's right. There's no count outs and no disqualification. Anything goes. No holds will be barred in that one. Something tells me that neither of those two will be the same after that one. And then in our second main event, Dom Harter, the Tenacious Little Bastard, defends his FGA World Championship against Dan Herrera and Jimmy Page in a Three Way Dance!

Grayson: Dom Harter won yet another Gold Rush Rumble. But instead of winning a shot at the title, he won the vacant title in that Rumble! Now, he faces two opponents. One man that he despises beyond belief. The other man is his fellow "Bro," Dan Herrera. Dom would love for nothing more than to screw over Jimmy Page. Jimmy Page wants that World Title. But the only thing he possibly wants more than that are his hands around Dom's neck. Then there's Dan Herrera, the wildcard. On two occasions, Dan has put his faith in Dom and has wound up getting the short end of the stick. Will he be his own man tonight? Or will he work with Harter to get rid of Page?

Clement: Only time will tell. We've got an action packed card for you here tonight. So let's send it on over to Manny Cruz to get All-Star Showdown III started!

Battle Royal
Sunshine Scandelous Tony Carmine, Thunderbelly the Storm Bearer, Mark Storm, Dean Stark, Pierre J. Harris, Ethan Cross, Charlie Rossi, Ash, Dane Archer, Larkyn Matthew

Cruz: The following is your opening contest of the evening! And it is a Battle Royal! Elimination occurs when a grappler has gone over the top rope and both feet hit the floor! The winner of this Battle Royal will automatically advance to the quarter finals of the 2014 Frontier Lions Cup!

Opening cords of a guitar solo begins as the drum beat increases. The first few words of "Better Than Drugs" by Skillet begins as the arena lights fade to a single white light shining in the middle of the wrestling ring. You watch as the crowd begins chanting GHOST! GHOST! GHOST! in unison.

Cruz: Introducing first, "The Ghost" Charlie Rossi!

There in all his splendor the blue orbs angel stand with head tilted to the side as his royal blue and white pulpit robe hangs low to the ground. Ghost pushes the satin robe opening reviling his thin chiseled frame and the man steps back to his corner as the arena lights come back up and the crowd continues its jeer as Ghost strikes a knowing grin to the onlookers.

The sounds of "23" by Miley Cyrus hits the PA System.


"I'm so fresh, man. You all scared to do it how I do it..."

"I'm.. in da club, high off purp, with my shades on.."

Larkyn steps out onto the stage, a confident look on his face, and a bounce in his step. He puts his left arm up, and right arm up, and shakes his hips as he turns around and starts twerking. He spins back around and laughs as he jogs down the aisle.

Cruz: Introducing the next participant... "The American Idol" LARKYN!

He slides into the ring and climbs onto the second rope, lifting one of his arms up and flexing. The lack of muscle is embarrassing, but he doesn't care!

"Ain't No Rest For the Wicked" rings out over the loudspeakers, and Dane Archer stalks out from backstage. He gives the fans a half-hearted glare before spitting on the floor to his left, cracking his neck and making his way to the ring, where he rolls in underneath the bottom rope.

Cruz: And their opponent... DANE ARCHER!

He lurches to his feet, making the rounds of the ropes, gripping the top as he looks out at the crowd, egging on some of the jeers and giving a nod to the rare cheer or chant in his direction. Satisfied, he pulls off his t-shirt and throws it in the corner before doing some last minute stretches and awaiting the opening bell.

The beginning riffs of United Divided begin to play as the lights flash the lyrics begin as he emerges from behind the curtain the hood up on his ring vest as his eyes are clearly focused on the ring. He waits a for more moments before starting to walk down to the ring as he holds his hands out they are slapped by the crowd.

Cruz: And their opponent... "Die Hard" ETHAN CROSS!

He jumps up on the apron and over the top rope he walks over to a far corner crouching down he begins waiting on his opponent. He takes his vest off handing it to someone at ringside.

As the slow intro of “Harbor” begins to play, smoke fills the entrance ramp. We see a silhouette of a man behind the smoke, standing still.

“Call it a learning process

And I’ve never been that quick

Because I take things as they come

And I respond how I see fit”

The song gets heavier and Dean Stark enters through the smoke, receiving a negative reaction from the fans.

Cruz: And their opponent, DEAN STARK!

He marches towards the ring and steps on the apron, where he dusts off his boots and enters the ring through the ropes. In the ring, he takes his place in the corner, without any big theatrics, and prepares for the match.

n for Hire begins playing.

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please Somebody

Test my reality
Check if there's a weak spot
Clingin' to insanity
In hopes the world will ease up

Ash comes bursting out from behind the entrance with a skip to stand out on the stand for a few seconds.

Try to make it look like it's all somehow getting better
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good against the measure
Everyone started out a little insane
But we learn pretty quick how to fake it for the game
But some of you never learned to drop the act
So under that skin of yours: a heart attack


Feeling the energy of the arena, she runs down the ramp towards the ring.

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

Cruz: And their opponent... ASH!

Reaching ringside, Ash slide in under the bottom rope towards the middle of the ring and picks herself up with something of a flip to her feet.

And if I had the answers I'd have written them out
So I can tell you what to do and what this thing is about
But all I've ever learned comes second-hand
And I dare not preach what I don't understand

You and I; we share the same disease
Cover up; compromise what we grieve
I've let more than my share of revivals die
This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight

Ash moves to a nearby turnbuckle and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle, shaking a fist into the air.

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

Ready and waiting for her match, Ash jumps down from the middle turnbuckle finally.

**The lights in the arena engulf into darkness, as the eyes of the audience are now glued on the entrance ramp as they wait patiently for the arrival of Mark Storm. Playing through the PA System "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz, as pyrotechnics shoot up around the stage as the audience get up on their feet and cheer as emerging from the tunnel is Mark Storm who stands on the top of the entrance ramp. With a smirk on his face, the future of wrestling raises his arms up high in the air, embracing the love of the audience before making his way down to the entrance ramp.**

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Cruz: And their opponent... MARK STORM!

**At this point, Storm has reached the bottom of the entrance ramp, after connecting with high fives with a few of the audience members by the ramp. He jumps onto the apron before entering the ring, immediately he hoists himself up onto the nearest turnbuckle, with his hands crossed together in an x position he raised his arms up in the air, glaring at the thousands in attendance holding their OCW merchandise and chanting his name. Storm jumps down from the top rope, licking his dry lips as he goes over to his corner clasping his hands together as he is prepared for action!**

As RetcH's "Graceful Jewelry Removal" hits, the lights dim and eventually the crowd will begin to jeer. Pink and purple strobe lights starts to flare. Once the bass drops, Scandalous Tony emerges from the curtains with his arms spread out, accompanied by 3 full-figured women following behind him(never the same group of women). He pops the collar on his furry vest before turning his back the ring and utters something to the women behind him. Suddenly he swings back around and slowly struts down the ramp, repeating the lyrics. He takes his purple pick out and starts picking his hair out.


"n****s pussy I should sprinkle them with glitter, for real my n****."

After putting the pick away, he then pulls out a nail filer and starts filing his nails, all the while taking his sweet time to get to the ring as he instructs the females to have the ropes held for him by the time he gets to ringside. With the ladies seated on the middle rope, Tony ignores them and walks up the steps and into the ring on his own. Tony laughs as he stands on the middle rope and looks out to the fans while slowly and seductively taking his furry vest off and throwing it to the group of females as they step off the apron. He backflips into the ring as his music slowly fades.

Cruz: And their opponent... "Sunshine" SCANDALOUS TONY CARMINE!

Smoke flares up around the ramp before the sounds of "Champagne" by Tracy T begins playing. Yung Czar stepping out behind the black curtains bouncing up and down.

"In The V.I.P see my chain, drinking champagne."

He tugs at the gold chain around his neck.

"In the Loui store I spend some change, drinking champange."

He throws up a M with his fingers reperesenting Miami before looking out in the crowd and making his way to the ring.

Cruz: And their opponent... "Yung Czar" PIERRE J. HARRIS!

"Bird Class flight I'm drinking champagne."

He steps inside the ring boncing around it.

"Like I won the championship game I'm drinking champagne."

He takes the multi-colored bandanna off of his head and throws it into the crowd.

"R.I.P my dead homies pour the champagne."

He stops bouncing and leans back on a rope folding his arms together. Ready for the bout to begin.

The various strings and flutes of Finntroll's "Trollhammaren" begin to play as the crowd immediately begin to cheer in response. As the singer lets out his guttural yell, the music swelling as electric guitars and drums join in as well, Thunderbelly himself comes bursting from behind the black curtain, the crowd cheers of approval only becoming more thunderous. His war hammer in hand, the warrior thrusts his fist into the air, holding his weapon high as he begins to make his way toward the ring.

Cruz: And the final participant... THUNDERBELLY THE STORM BEARER!

Making sure to slap hands with any fans that reach out to him, Thunderbelly finally approaches the ring, hopping up onto the apron and quickly ascends the outside of the nearest turnbuckle, standing with one foot triumphantly perched on the top turnbuckle as he holds his mighty hammer high once again to the crowd approval. Afterward, the frog viking simply hopping down into the ring into his corner.

As the bell sounds, all ten competitors begin to throw punches and kicks at one another trying to be the one to gain the first elimination.

Grayson: None of these competitors are wasting any time, Kevin!

Clement: That's right. They know that if they win, they'll get a free pass straight to the Quarter Finals of the Frontier Lions Cup.

We see the unlikely pairing of Thunderbelly the Storm Bearer and Ethan Cross teaming up on Charlie Rossi in the corner, while Tony Carmine and Mark Storm are battling it out in another corner. Carmine has Storm’s right leg draped over the top rope.

Clement: We could see our first elimination right here!

Grayson: Storm better grab onto something or else he's getting tossed to the outside.

Pierre J. Harris and Dean Stark trade blows and Stark hits him with a huge uppercut to the mid-section and Harris goes down. Stark then drives his knee into Harris’ face in the corner. Dane Archer and Larkyn begin to double team on Ash, the smallest competitor in the Battle Royal.

Grayson: Look at Archer and Larkyn double team Ash.

Clement: I can't knock the strategy. Ash is probably the most agile grappler in this match. That makes her not only the most elusive, but the most dangerous. It's best to get someone like that out now.

Archer and Larkyn lift Ash up in a double Gorilla Press looking to throw her over the top and to the outside but Ash wriggles herself free and slides down the back of Archer and Larkyn. Ash then capitalizes by dropkicking, Larkyn who bumps into Archer sending him into the ropes. Ash returns to her feet and delivers a stiff Superkick to Dane Archers sending him over the top rope.

DANE ARCHER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Dane's gone!

Larkyn Matthew is up and looks to throw Ash over the top rope for a second quick elimination, but Ash holds on and hits Larkyn with a shoulder tackle. Ash then springboards over the top rope back into the center of the ring while Ethan Cross turns on Thunderbell,y hitting him with a Roundhouse Kick in the mid-section. Cross grabs hold over Thunderbelly’s mask charging him towards the ropes throwing him over the top rope and crashing to the floor.

THUNDERBELLY THE STORM BEARER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Thunderbelly's just been eliminated! And you can hear the dissatisfaction eminating from the crowd with that one.

Thunderbelly tries to get back into the ring seeking revenge but is held back by the ringside officials. Pierre J. Harris has fought back and has taken control of Dean Stark with the assist from Larkyn. As the two men begin to attack Stark, he is able to kick Harris in the mid-section and hit Larkyn with a Headbutt. Stark explodes out of the corner hitting Harris with a Lariat before turning to face Larkyn, who hits Stark with a Spinning Heel Kick but is caught and Stark flips him to the outside.

LARKYN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Larkyn tried to put Stark away, but Stark was able to counter and send him to the outside.

Grayson: The bodies are flying quick in this one!

Seven competitors remain and Mark Storm looks like he might make it six as Tony Carmine tries to lift Storm over the top rope while Charlie Rossi and Ash battle it out. Rossi whips Ash into the ropes, but Ash hits a handspring and looks to hit the back elbow. But Rossi had it scouted and goes for a release German Suplex. But Ash is able to land on her feet to cheers from the crowd. Ash then hits Charlie Rossi with a Superkick from behind and calls over Ethan Cross to help throw Rossi to the outside.

CHARLIE ROSSI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Six remaining, Evan.

Grayson: Tony Carmine, Pierre Harris, Ash, Dean Stark, Mark Storm and Ethan Cross: one of these grapplers will have a one way trip to Above & Beyond III.

On the other side of the ring, Mark Storm fights back on Pierre J. Harris and Tony Carmine, freeing him from being eliminated as he delivers a number of punches moving into the center of the ring. Storm hits a Superman Punch on Carmine, stunning him, but has his back turned to Harris who hits him with the King Me and Storm looks like his is out and gets tossed over the top rope by Harris and Carmine.

MARK STORM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Some unlikely teamwork there by Carmine and Harris. We've seen these two go back and forth on Twitter.

Grayson: Yeah, I'm sure there's no love lost there.. But they'd be fools to look a gift horse in the mouth. If you can get someone over the top rope, then go for it.

Stark and Cross battle it out as Ash tries to help Cross, but is tossed through the ropes and to the floor. Harris and Carmine look to have agreed on an alliance and go after Stark and Cross. Stark and Carmine begin to trade shots while Harris and Cross do the same. Ash then slides underneath the bottom rope grabbing a steel chair, she then sets the chair up near the ropes. While the four men continue to battle, Ash charges towards the steel chair using it to assist her in taking Stark and Carmine while Harris tosses Cross to the outside.

ETHAN CROSS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Now we're down to four!

Four competitors remain as they all retreat to their respective turnbuckles, after returning to their feet the four remaining competitors run to the center of the ring trading blows to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Look at these four FGA newcomers go at it!

Grayson: They're so close to getting that spot in the Frontier Lions Cup. They've outlasted the majority of the competition in this match. It would be soul crushing to lose this late in the match.

Stark then picks Ash up over his shoulder and drives her into the turnbuckle. Stark then gains a full head of steam looking for a Yakuza Kick in the corner. But Ash rolls out of the way. With Dean Stark’s foot draped over the ropes, Ash capitalizes with a running Shotgun Dropkick, taking Stark over to the apron. She then springboards off of the adjacent ropes hitting Dean Stark with another dropkick.

DEAN STARK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: Down goes Stark!

Grayson: Here we go! Only three left now!

Pierre J. Harris then grabs Ash by the hair and throws her over his shoulder. Harris and Carmine’s alliance has seemed to have been successful as Harris looks to throw Ash to the outside. But Carmine saves Ash by pulling her off of his shoulder. Harris turns around in confusion and gets blasted with a running Clothesline.

PIERRE J. HARRIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Clement: What a clothesline that was by Carmine!

Grayson: These two have been going back and forth over the past week. But Tony got the last laugh.

Tony Carmine and Ash are the last two competitors remaining. Ash dives at Carmine, who is resting against the ropes with a Crossbody block and the two competitors tumble over the top rope but hold on.

Clement: We almost saw both grapplers tumble to the floor.

Grayson: If that happened, then no one would have gotten that free spot in the Frontier Lions Cup!

Carmine and Ash quickly return to the ring apron. Ash hits Carmine with a punch and then goes for a kick to the mid-section. But Carmine catches Ash’s foot and throws it underneath her, sending her crashing to the mat. While Ash slowly gets to her knees Carmine recovers and hits her with his Shining Wizard, the #PimpShit on the apron.

Clement: Both grapplers fell off the apron!

Grayson: I think Ash hit the floor first!

Cruz: Here is your winner.... TONY CARMINE!

The crowd boos as "Graceful Jewelry Removal" plays throughout the arena. Tony then rolls back into the ring and gets his arm raised as the crowd continues to boo.

Clement: Tony Carmine's done it! He outlasted nine other grappler to win this Battle Royal. Now, Tony not only qualifies for the Frontier Lions Cup, but he gets a Bye, sending him straight to the Quarter Finals!

(The scene opens up with Riley sitting in the locker room of the 2300 Arena. He must have just sat down, because he is dressed in a Wu-Tang T-shirt and a pair of dark jeans. He runs his fingers through his hair a bit before turning slight and facing the camera.)

Owens: History is written by the Victor.

(Riley Smirks a little bit.)

Owens: Have you ever thought about why that is? Of course, some of it is about power. But, I’d like to think it is because tend to remember the Victors; because, they are still around to tell the tale.

It doesn’t matter how hard the opposition fought; the level of courage they showed didn’t matter. The fact of the matter is never care about the fallen party; the only party that matters in the end is the Victor.

(Riley sighs.)

Owens: Who will be named the Victor at the end of the night? Will it be the young, hard-hitting Riley Owens; or will it be the FGA Original Jared James? Will it be the up and coming Young Guns team; or, will it be the fun-loving Super Mario Wrestling Bros?

Tonight, once again, I pull double-duty. At Only the Strong Survive, I attempted to make History; I went into that event attempting to capture the Pride Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. That night I went one for two; I walked away with the Pride Championship.

Tonight, again I attempt to create a little bit of History. Once again, I’m pulling double-duty. But the goal tonight is to walk out the Pride Champion and one half of the Tag Team Champions.

(Riley nods his head and then lets out a smile.)

Owens: What an honor that would be. Becoming a double-champion would be something that would transcend FGA; it’s something that is rarely seen in professional wrestling.

(Riley gets up out of his seat.)

Owens: I’m not foolish; I’m not ignorant. I know that I’m about to step into two of the hardest fights of my life. But, I’ve made it this far. Ever since I joined FGA, I stepped into that ring and gave it my all every night; that’s exactly what I’m going to do this time.

I’m not trying to sound arrogant or anything, but if anyone in this company has proven themselves, then it would be me. A lot of people don’t think I can do it; a lot of people want to see me fall.

But you know what?

I’ve already proven you all wrong before! Most people didn’t think I’d amount to anything here in FGA; but, they were wrong. Most people thought Jimmy Page was going to demolish me at Only the Strong Survive; but, they were wrong. And, most people that Blake and I were destined to fail; but they were wrong!

If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that your Destiny is predetermined. If you work hard enough, if you have enough Heart—then you can control your own path! Tonight, I don’t care what any of you all say. I’m going to do my very best win both matches!

(Riley points directly at the camera.)

Owens: My goal is to walk out the Victor tonight; my goal is to create History. So—sit back and enjoy the ride.

(The show cuts backstage to where one of the finalists from this year’s Dynamic Duos tournament, Annie Zellor is standing by. She isn’t dressed to compete, instead she is wearing her casual attire of a white long sleeved tee and a pair of black shorts.)

Annie Zellor: Heyyy guys!

(She says, waving excitedly at the camera.)

Annie Zellor: I hope you’re all enjoying the show so far, I know I am. And I’m not gonna take up too much of your time ‘cause there’s sooo much more action to come still. But I just wanna take a moment to let you all in on a super secret announcement…

(Pause. Annie takes a moment to compose herself, trying not to let the excitement get the better of her.)

Annie Zellor: As you all know I’ve wrestled a couple of matches since February of this year, and I was in the Dynamic Duos tournament with my sparklebuddy Laurel Anne Hardy; but from the next show in Charlotte, South Carolina we’re all gonna be seeing a lot more of each other, ‘cause me and Laurel have both signed contracts to become regular competitors right here in FGA!

(Annie punches the air with both fists and lets out a delighted squeal.)

Annie Zellor: Thanks to all my Anniemaniacs and sparklebuddies for all your support. Now lets get back to the show!

(She says before blowing a kiss to the camera as the show cuts back to ringside.)

[FGA Office]

Cordelia Stevenson vs. Xavier Daniels

The arena's lights die as "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X" hits the PA system, cuing the cheers of the FGA fans. A single spotlight blinks on, lighting up the entrance stage as Xavier Daniels pushes himself through the curtain. Here he slowly paces around, taking in crowd reaction before taking center stage just in time for the sound bite cues both the lighting and Xavier himself to pick up. Xavier throws his head forward a bit scuffing his hair as red and gold lights suddenly begin flashing around the arena to the beat.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 200 pounds... XAVIER DANIELS!

The Boston native starts a B-Line strut towards the ring, making sure to play up the crowd, evening touching the hands of a few as he passes by. When he reaches the protective padding around ringside he bolts up the ring steps and leaps to the second turn buckle. From here Xavier spreads his arms apart and peers out at the crowd taking in their reaction. After a few seconds he jumps into the ring and takes a spot at the opposite corner where he begins stretching while he awaits his opponent.

Clement: Xavier Daniels has been impressive in his FGA return...

Grayson: But tonight, he faces his toughest test. He has to go one on one against Cordy Stevenson. He has to go one on one with her in an arena where the crowd will be firmly behind her. Can he overcome those odds?

The lights in the arena dim down a bit and take on a purplish hue. All of a sudden, the opening to Chris Brown's "Fine China" begins to blare through the speakers. The crowd gives a loud pop as Cordelia Stevenson slowly makes her way out onto the ramp, nodding her head to the music.

Cruz: And his opponent, from Freeport, Long Island! Weighing in at 146 pounds... CORDY STEVENSON!

Cordy stands atop the ramp for a brief second taking in the reception before dropping her head down and letting her hair fall in front of her face. As the beat drops, she snaps her head up, sending her hair flying from her face. She then sashays towards the ring, lip synching and playfully bouncing to the music as she reaches out and slaps hands with the fans. Once she gets to the ring, she walks up onto the apron and blows a bunch of kisses back out at the crowd before seductively ducking in between the ropes and stepping into the ring. She quickly makes her way over towards the turnbuckle, climbing up and interacting with the fans a bit more before hopping down snd stretching in preparation for the opening bell as her music fades out.

Clement: Do you hear that ovation for Cordy Stevenson?

Grayson: How can I not? This city loves her, Kevin!

The bell sounds as both grapplers shake hands before locking up. Xavier quickly gains the advantage with a side headlock. But Cordy is able to slip out and reverse into a hammerlock from behind. She quickly pushes the arm up, applying pressure. The ref asks Xavier if he wants to give up. But Xavier refuses to quit. He then leans forward and reverses into a hammerlock of his own. But Cordy reaches back with her free arm and reverses into a side headlock to cheers from the crowd. After reaching back and delivering an elbow to the face, Xavier quickly spins and takes Cordy down with a modified drop toe hold. He then goes across her back and applies a grounded side headlock. The ref asks Cordy if she wants to give up. But she wags her finger at him. After grabbing a hold of Xavier's arm, Cordy is able to escape and reverse into another hammerlock to cheers from the crowd. The ref again asks Xavier if he wants to give up. But Xavier shakes his head from side to side. After battling his way back up to his feet, Xavier reaches back, jumps up and brings Cordy down with a snapmare takeover.

Xavier runs into the ropes as Cordy gets back up to her feet. When Xavier comes back, he knocks her down with a shoulderblock. He then runs into another set of ropes as Cordy gets back up to her feet. When Xavier comes back, he knocks her down with another running shoulderblock. Xavier runs into another set of ropes as Cordy kips up. When Xavier comes back, Cordy leap frogs over him. Xavier continues to run into the ropes. When Xavier comes back, Cordy takes him down with a headscissors takeover. Xavier gets back up, but Cordy throws him down with a deep arm drag. Xavier gets back up, but Cordy sends him back down with another deep arm drag. She quickly transitions into a shoulder lock. The ref asks Xavier if he wants to give up. But Xavier refuses to quit. After battling his way back up to his feet, he takes Cordy and moves her into the ropes. He then shoves her off of him and into the opposite set of ropes. When Cordy comes back, Xavier goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam. But Cordy counters with a headscissors takeover to cheers from the crowd. As Xavier gets up, Cordy runs over and connects with a dropkick, sending Xavier stumbling through the ropes and to the floor.

Clement: Some good mat work by both competitors early. But Cordy is able to gain the advantage.

As Xavier begins to get up on the outside, Cordy runs into the ropes. When she comes back, she goes for a baseball slide. But Xavier leap frogs over her and lands on the apron, causing Cordy to whiff with the baseball slide. When she turns around, Xavier goes for an asai moonsault. But Cordy rolls back into the ring. However, Xavier is able to land on his feet. As he runs back towards the ring, Cordy connects with a baseball slide, sending him stumbling back into the guard rail. As Xavier moves from off the guard rail, Cordy runs into the ropes. When she comes back, she connects with a suicide plancha to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: What a maneuver by Cordy Stevenson!

Grayson: A great sequence there from both grapplers. But once again, Cordy is just a step faster than Xavier.

Cordy picks up Xavier and rolls him back into the ring. After climbing up onto the apron, she begins to climb the turnbuckles. But Xavier quickly gets up and connects with a rope-aided gamengiri, stopping her dead in her tracks. He then climbs up onto the middle ropes, grabs Cordy and delivers a superplex to cheers from the crowd. He floats over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

Cordy kicks out.

Xavier picks up Cordy and whips her into the ropes. When Cordy comes back, Xavier throws out a lariat. But Cordy ducks. When Xavier turns around, she delivers a dropkick to the knee, knocking Xavier down to one knee.

Xavier gets his shoulder up.

Cordy picks up Xavier and whips him into the corner. She then runs over and goes for a handspring back elbow. But Xavier knocks her down with a lariat to the back of the neck in mid air.

ONE!
.

TWO!
.
.
Cordy gets her shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Xavier may have only gotten two. But man, that suplex looked rough.

Grayson: Cordy landed hard on that one. We'll see how she's able to bounce back.

After picking up Cordy, Xavier throws her down with a scoop slam. He then points to the top turnbuckle as he heads out onto the apron. After Xavier springboards to the top turnbuckle, he leaps off and connects with the Moon Landing to cheers from the crowd. He then picks up Cordy and scoops her up across his shoulders.

“Let's Go” blasts over the PA as the crowd explodes in cheers.

Cruz: Here is your winner, CORDY STEVENSON!

Cordy gets her arm raised to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Cordy picks up her first win as an official member of the FGA roster!

Grayson: She more than impressed during her run in the Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament. Now she's picking up exactly where she left off. I know she's hoping her BFF Cyncity is successful later on. But I'm not so sure about that one...

[We’re in the locker room of the 2300 Arena, and the door quietly opens before Cherry Baum sticks her head around the door to check if the coast’s clear, before quickly stepping back into the hallway]

Cherry: Coast’s clear.

[The door opens, and Johnny Karma strolls into the room with a gym back tucked under his arm, with Cherry quickly walking into the locker room behind him and closing the door, then wedging a chair against the door handle to make sure they’re not interrupted]

Cherry: Do you think we have time?

[Karma checks his watch]

Karma: There’s about twenty minutes until my match, so that’s loads of time for what I’ve got planned.

Cherry: Okay then, let me see it.

[Karma gives Cherry a look, then places the gym bag on a bench and unzips it, causing a light to emanate from within the bag]

Cherry: Is that…what I think it is?

Karma: It sure is.

[Karma reaches inside the bag, and pulls out an LED candle]

Karma: Well, you did say it would give some extra ambience to the Karmic TV studio. The darn thing must’ve switched itself on in the bag.

Cherry: No, not that…

[Cherry points inside the bag]

Cherry: …that.

Karma: Oh, right, now I’ve got you. Yes, that is indeed what you think it is.

Cherry: But how did you find it?

Karma: I have my sources. And a Craigslist account.

Cherry: So you think this will give you the psychological edge in your match?

Karma: No doubt about it, we’ve seen time and again that ShinKetty isn’t the toughest nut to crack, in fact a jelly bean puts up more of a fight than she does in the “cracking” stakes going by how casually I’ve played her at the last couple of shows, so when she casts eyes on this she’ll be defeated before the opening bell. Which she was anyway, but I’d like to get the match over a little quicker so I can catch up on Penny Dreadful.

Cherry: But how much did it cost?

Karma: Not that much, actually. I mean, obviously, the guy tried to charge a huge chunk of change for it, but I argued that it wasn’t in mint condition as it had taken a few bumps by the time he got his greasy mitts on it, and the fact it wasn’t really that valuable anyway because, you know, reasons.

[Cherry nods in agreement]

Cherry: So what’s the plan?

Karma: Now, now – I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise. Not least because there’s a full camera crew standing right here…

[Karma and Cherry both look at the camera crew, Karma with a “Really?” facial expression, before they continue their conversation as if nothing happened]

Karma: So I meant to ask when we got here, why were you so freaked out earlier? I mean, I heard screaming and saw you running down the hallway like you were in some straight-to-video slasher flick.

Cherry: Oh, that. I walked into the referee’s locker room and saw Drew Dillinger just as he walked out the shower, and the only thing protecting my eyes from seeing Little Drew Dillinger was the remarkable amount of body hair he has.

[Karma looks like he’s about to retch]

Karma: And on that pleasant mental image, let’s go over the plan one last time. Which means, you lot, scram!

[Karma walks to the door and slides the chair out of the way, ushering the camera crew into the hallway before closing the door behind them]

Thaddeus Grey vs. Camellia D. Magna

The lights dim to near pitch-black levels. After a brief moment of silence, Innerpartysystem's "Don't Stop" blares over the announce system. All eyes are on the entrance area, the only light from a single spotlight above. A very arrogant and very assured Thaddeus Grey makes his way out, much to the chagrin of the fans in attendance. The combat zone is soon affected with a pulsating white light. Walking to the ring to a chorus of boos, Thaddeus Grey is oozing nothing but confidence, the smirk on his face serving as the perfect example of such a statement. Multiple fans may soon be experiencing seizures, but Grey could certainly care less. As he reaches the ring, the fans really let him have it, the boos turning to jeers and insults, but Grey pays them no attention.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from San Diego, California! Weighing in at 200 pounds... THADDEUS GREY!

Methodically, he walks up the stairs, staring into the eyes of his opponent. As he's halfway across the apron, he wipes his feet before stepping into the ring. After a brief pause, he stands in the center, basking in the negative reaction the capacity crowd is giving him. A slight smile forms in the corner of his mouth, as the lights return to normal. Grey turns to his corner and quickly does a few stretches, awaiting the referee to call for the bell.

Clement: Tonight, we will finally put an end to all of this. These two have been fight for months, but this time for it’s for everything.

Grayson: What a perfect way to say goodbye. The loser of this match is gone from Fronter Grappling Arts. High stakes match, Kevin.

“Riptide” by Sick Puppies sounds through the speakers in the arena. The main lights go dim and the entrance ramp is lit by blue and green lights. Fog slowly rolls down the ramp, covering the floor. Cami steps onto the top of the ramp with a huge smile on her face.

Cruz: And his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina! Weighing in at 145 pounds... CAMELLIA D. MAGNA!

She walks down the ramp, constantly looking around, spinning in a circle so as not to miss anything, enjoying the cheers from the crowd. When about halfway down the ramp, she takes off running, sliding into the ring under the bottom rope. While on the mat, she pushes up into the bridge position. After holding it for a few seconds, she kicks over to a standing position.

The bell sounds and the two lock up. Grey uses his size and strength advantage to secure a headlock. Magna backs him into a corner, but he maintains control of the head. She tries to escape the hold, but Grey just squeezes tighter. The fans are cheering on Magna, who won’t stop trying to fight back. Grey decides he’s had enough of the struggle as he charges forward, delivering a huge bulldog. Cami’s head bounces off the mat.

Clement: Big impact on that bulldog. Magna’s head was just smashed into the canvas.

Grayson: Great start for Grey. He’s got her right where he wants her!

Thaddeus continues his attack, stomping the body of his fallen foe. He works his way around, methodically picking Magna apart. Cami tries to use the ropes to get to her feet, but Grey drops her with a knee to the body. The crowd boos Grey with every well-placed shot he lands. He looks out at the audience, shaking his head in disgust. He brings Magna to her feet, whipping her into the corner with authority. He charges in for a clothesline, but Cami lands a quick elbow as Grey rushes in. He staggers backwards and Magna lands a spinning kick to the body that drops Grey to a knee.

Clement: Magna fires back!

Cami climbs up to the second rope, jumping off with a quick elbow that drills Thaddeus in the bridge of the nose. The crowd comes alive as Magna jumps back to her feet. She rushes over and climbs on top of Grey, hitting him with punches. Grey covers up as Manga unloads. Thaddeus pushes her off with his legs, quickly rolling outside. Cami doesn’t give him a chance to breath as he dives through the middle rope, taking both her and Grey crashing into the barricade!

Clement: They both go down!

Grayson: That’s a risky move, she might have hurt herself with that stupid dive through ropes.

Magna slowly gets to her feet, she takes a deep breath and brings her opponent back up. She rolls Grey inside the ring. She goes for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Grey rolls out.

Cami is disappointed as she gets back to her feet. She tries to bring Grey up again, but he stuns her with an uppercut. Magna’s rocked backwards and Thaddeus explodes with a huge clothesline that nearly takes her head off. The fans gasp. Grey sits up, holding his head from some of some of the damage he’s received. Grey drives a few short, brutal knees in the ribs of Magna, who yells out in pain. After three strong knees, he begins choking her. Anger in his eyes from the fight she’s shown. Grey applies a Half-Boston crab in the center of the ring. Magna is in trouble, with nowhere to go.

Grayson: This is it, Kevin! Magna is going to give it all up!

Thaddeus tightens the hold and Magna continues to scream. The fans are trying to rally behind her, but Grey just continues to apply pressure. It looks like Magna has she raises her hand into the air.

Grayson: She’s finished! Grey is going to take Camellia out of this company!

Before she can bring he hand down to tap, Grey releases the hold. He shakes his head, refusing the end this match. Cami is holding her knee in pain. Grey looks down at Cami. He waves goodbye before bringing her up. Grey holds her head in position for a moment before delivering a nasty Implant DDT. Magna looks to be finished as Grey rolls her over for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Magna just kicks out.

Clement: Oh, that was close! Magna just gets her shoulder up.

Grayson: Come on Thaddeus, end it now…

Grey gets back to his feet, pulling Magna up with him. He whips her into the corner. Grey grabs her head and drives it into the top turnbuckle several times. Magna is out on her feet. Thaddeus lets her fall before positioning Magna’s head on the bottom turnbuckle. Grey backs up a few steps before rushing in, nailing her with a huge boot to the face. Magna falls flat and the crowd boos Grey, who stands motionless, looking down at Cami. He drags her the center of the ring and goes for another cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Magna barely kicks out.

Grey is in shock. He applies an armbar in the center of the ring, but it appears Cami might be out cold. She’s not even struggling as Grey is trying to rip her arm out. The referee moves in on the action, checking on Magna. Thaddeus is screaming at the referee that the match is over. The referee lifts Magna’s arm into the air, it is falls straight down. Grey begins nodding his head while the crowd boos him. The referee lifts Magna’s arm for a second time and it once again falls down to the mat. It appears to be over as the referee raises her arm one final time. The crowd gasps as it begins to fall, but suddenly Cami springs back to life, countering the armbar into a small package. The referee jumps in position to make the count!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

Clement: She caught him! Cami out of nowhere!

Grayson: What just happened?

"Riptide" plays to cheers from the crowd.

Cruz: Here is your winner, CAMELLIA D. MAGNA!

Thaddeus and the FGA fans are completely shocked Magna slowly gets to her feet. The ref raises Cami's arm to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: What a comeback! Thaddeus Grey had her in some bad spots, but she was able to pull through.

Grayson: I can’t believe it, Kevin. Grey had this match won three different times. Camellia Magna shouldn’t have a job here anymore.

Clement: But she does, Evan. Hopefully Cami has put Thaddeus Grey behind her.

(Backstage, Dan leaning against a wall in the lockeroom area with his forehead pressed up against it. His eyes are closed and he looks to be in deep thought. There is a bat leaning against the wall beside him as his 'insurance policy' in case there were to be any funny business. Without Dan realizing though, Rowan Grae walked into the lockeroom and stood about five feet away from him before speaking. She spoke in a soft tone as not to spook him.)

Rowan: "Dan?"

(Dan grabbed the bat without thinking as he spun around in the lockeroom. He pulled the bat up as he spun around. But as he spun he saw Rowan's face looking at him and he dropped the bat to the floor. He let out a big sigh before sitting down on the bench between him and her. She came over and sat on the opposite side looking at him.)

Dan: "That was a close one Rowan. I thought I said I wanted to be alone before the show."

Rowan: "I left you alone before the Gold Rush Rumble, Dan. I did just as you asked. This time, I don't want you to be alone before your match."

Dan: "I don't want to be distracted Rowan."

Rowan: "I don't care. I think you need me here. This whole week you've been running around like crazy. Doing interviews here, going on television shows there, reddit chats, and the whole works. All week long you've been alone, fighting against every person that has been telling you that you can't win tonight. You don't need to be alone tonight, because you aren't alone. I'm always here for you."

(Dan was staring at the ground as she spoke. Rowan reached up gently and pulled Dan's face up by the chin so that he was looking at her. She smiled at him and a small smile spread across his face. She then leaned in and they shared a kiss before he spoke.)

Dan: "I knew I wasn't alone Rowan. I just get really wrapped up in myself when I'm told that I can't do something by other people. When people doubt me without reason, it drives me insane. I let it really get to me Rowan."

Rowan: "I know you do. But you never asked me what I thought."

Dan: "Rowan, I don't think you're exactly unbiased."

Rowan: "Have I not always told you the hard truths?"

Dan: "Yeah, you have."

(Dan looks away from her and puts his head into his hands as he looks at the floor of the lockeroom.)

Dan: "So what's the hard truth tonight Rowan? Is everyone right?"

(Rowan once again pulls Dan's face up to that she is holding both his cheeks in her hands as she holds his gaze.)

Rowan: "No, they're not. You're ready for this and you're going to go out there and prove everyone wrong. You're going to walk out tonight as the FGA World Champion."

(Dan smiles at her and this time he reaches out pulling Rowan in for a passionate kiss. As he does the camera then fades out to black.)

Pride Championship Match
(c) Riley Owens vs. Jared James

The familiar riff of Washed Out's "Feel It All Around" permeates through the arena as Jared James, joined with Dexter Wolfe at his side, slowly waltzes out from the backstage area. A slight grin on his face, James paces his way down to the ring with Wolfe slightly trailing. During this short journey, he periodically stops to high five fans in attendance.

Cruz: The following contest will be fought under Pride Rules! And it is for the Pride Championship! Introducing first, the challenger! Being accompanied to the ring by Dexter Wolfe! From Des Moines, Iowa! Weighing in at 187 pounds... JARED JAMES!

Once at the ring, he rolls onto the mat and in one motion hops up onto his feet before running into the far corner -- jumping up to the second rope. He throws both arms into the air, enthusiasm plastered across his face, before jumping down to the mat once more and heading into his corner where he sits on the bottom rope in anticipation for his upcoming bout.

Clement: Jared James has come so close to gaining FGA gold on numerous occassions. Is tonight the night that he finally bring a title home?

Grayson: Maybe, maybe not. Jared has always been the bridesmaid, but never the bride. He was this close to becoming the first-ever FGA Champion during the Chase for the Crown Tournament in January 2012. He then had a chance in October of that same year to win the title, but he failed. Now that he's back in 2014, he's got a renwed passion. You can tell he really wants it. But as much of a roll that he's been on as of late, Riley has been more impressive.

"De(v)tails" by A Bullet for Pretty Boy begins to play over the speakers. Owens walks out onto the entrance ramp and look at the crowd. He adjusts his wrist tape and then slowly walks down the ramp.

Cruz: And his opponent, now residing out of Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 200 pounds! He is the reigning... defending... FGA Pride Champion... RILEY OWENS!

Owens walks around the ring once and wipes his boots before sliding into the ring. Owens climbs the nearest turnbuckle and raises a fist. He hops off, adjust his kickpads, and waits for his opponent.

Clement: Riley Owens has turned things around as of late. He's got the Pride Championship. But if everything goes his way, he could be leaving the 2300 Arena with two titles!

Grayson: Thats right. If Riley retains here, he and Blake Jones could defeat the Super Mario Wrestling Bros and win the FGA World Tag Team Titles, making him a double champ! Riley could do it. But the competition he's facing tonight aren't exactly pushovers.

The ref calls both men towards the center of the ring. After going over the Pride Rules, he give both men the opportunity to shake hands, which they take. After instructing them to head back into their respective corners, the ref holds up the Pride Championship belt for all to see before handing it off to Manny Cruz on the outside....

The bell sounds as both men turn and listen to the dueling chants of the crowd.

Half The Crowd: LET'S GO, RILEY!

The Other Half: JARED JAMES!

Half The Crowd: LET'S GO, RILEY!

Riley gets back up, but Jared connects with a dropkick, sending Riley stumbling through the ropes and to the floor. The crouch cheers as Jared stands in the ring, waiting for Riley to get back in.

Clement: The veteran James catches Riley off guard during the early portion of this match.

Grayson: That is one advantage that Jared has over Riley. Experience. Jared has been in big matches before both in and out of FGA. He's won his fair share of championships outside of FGA. He knows what to do and what not to do in these big match situations...

On the outside, Riley walks around the ring with his hands on his hips. After hopping back up onto the apron, he steps back into the ring. The two then circle the ring before going for a lock up. But Jared ducks the lock up and applies a waist lock from behind. Riley then sticks his arm between Jared's, breaks the hold and quickly reverses into an arm wringer to cheers from the crowd.

The ref then raises Jared's arm again and let's go. It falls back down.

Clement: If that arms falls again, it's over!

The ref raises Jared's arm for a third time. The arm begins to fall... and then shoots back up to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: No way!

Clement: Jared's not out of it!

Jared begins to shake his fists. Riley tries to squeeze as tight as he can. Jared slowly turns over onto his knees. He then gets up to his feet. Jared then nails Riley with five elbows to the midsection, breaking the hold. He then runs into the ropes. When Jared comes back, Riley throws out a lariat. But Jared ducks. When Riley turns around, he turns right into a back flip kick to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Pele from Jared!

Jared picks up Riley and goes for an irish whip. But Riley reverses, sending Jared into the ropes. When Jared comes back, Riley sets up for a back body drop. But Jared stops, grabs Riley and delivers a bridging fisherman suplex to cheers from the crowd.

Jared picks up Riley and whips him into the corner. He runs, jumps and connects with a corner splash. Jared then takes Riley and whips him into the opposite corner. Jared runs across the ring, jumps onto Riley and goes for a monkey flip. But Riley hooks his arms around the top ropes, blocking the move and causing Jared to land back-first on the canvas. Riley then picks up Jared and sets him up for a Regalplex into the turnbuckles. But Jared repeatedly elbows Riley in the back of the head until the hold is broken. He then takes Riley, brings him towards the center of the ring and brings him down with The Dagger to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Swinging neckbreaker from Jared!

Grayson: Whats he going to do now?

While Riley is down, Jared steps through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles. Once he reaches the top, Jared leaps off and goes for a flying elbow drop. But Riley moves out of the way, causing Jared to crash onto the canvas.

Clement: Nobody's home as Jared misses the diving elbow!

As Jared grabs his arm, Riley gets up, picks up Jared and grabs him from behind. He goes for the Ripcord Lariat. But Jared ducks, floats over and counters with The I-35 Drive to cheers from the crowd. He makes the cover.

After the mandatory rest period, Jared goes over to pick up Riley. But Riley brings him to the mat with a double leg takedown. He then goes to apply a cloverleaf. But Jared counters with a small package...

After Riley gets up, he turns around and runs over to attack Jared. But Jared catches him with a superkick.

“De(v)tails” blasts over the PA as the crowd explodes in cheers.

Cruz: Here is your winner and still the FGA Pride Champion, RILEY OWENS!

The ref hands Riley his Pride Championship belt. Riley then raises the belt to cheers and applause from the crowd.

Clement: What a hard fought win as Riley retains his Pride Championship, two falls to one!

Grayson: It was a hell of a match. But now, Riley's got to come out here later and try to win the Tag Titles with Blake Jones. How much does Riley have left in the reserve? How much was taken out of him during this match right here?

[FGA Office]

(The show cuts backstage to where The Tenacious Little Bastard and reigning FGA World Champion, Dom Harter is standing. He’s ready dressed in his ring attire ahead of the main event later tonight; the title belt is draped over his shoulder, beneath which he’s wearing his Crow t-shirt and his jean shorts.)

Dom Harter: Finally, the night has come…

(He says with a chuckle.)

Dom Harter: The night that Jimmy Page has been waiting for ever since I first beat him last November. Or, since he declined my challenge last December. Or, since he last failed to beat me and take this title back in April. I’m not sure…

(Dom shrugs.)

Dom Harter: And the night that Dan Herrera has been waiting for since Only The Strong Survive. The night that he gets to prove to all his doubters and critics that he deserves to be in this match. That he has truly earned his spot in the main event tonight.

(Harter nods before that trademark crooked grin appears on his face.)

Dom Harter: And the night I have been waiting for, so I can prove – once again – why I am the best wrestler in FGA, past, present and future. Tonight, here in Philadelphia, you will both go to that ring and try to defeat me, try to become the FGA World Champion. And tonight you will both fail. And I will leave All Star Showdown exactly as I entered: as the FGA World Champion. See you in the ring.

(Dom says confidently before walking away off screen.)

[FGA Office]

Cutting backstage, we see an irate Cyncity circling around the Westchester County Center hallways, her face a soft shade of red.

Cyncity: Gonna kill him. Swear to Santa, I’m gonna break Karma’s teeth.

She pulls her iPhone out from the waistband of her ring gear, and frantically dials a number until she turns her head to see a familiar face… Well, back.

Cyncity: TOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYY!

She darts down the hallway, quickly grabbing at the arm of one of FGA’s newest acquisitions, Tony Carmine.

Cyncity: Seriously about to call in a hit, playa. Not even kidding. Did you see what that rascal Karma did?!

Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine looks around, pretending not to blush. He looks at Cyncity a bit confused but happy to see her nonetheless.

Sunshine Tony: Huh? Did he hurt you? Let me go get the squad real quick…

Tony looks behind him hoping to see some of the entourage he came to the show with. He runs his free hand through his slicked hair, raising his eyebrows.

Sunshine Tony: We gotcha back like bra straps Cyty. Where is he?

She was tempted to go find Karma, but knew for damn sure that would’ve end badly. Possibly with even her spending a few nights in jail.

Cyncity: Noo, wait! Bleh. We can’t do that yet. I still have to kick his butt later anyways, so. But…

She cycles through her phone, getting to the video of Karma giving Cherry Baum her refurbished Iron Woman trophy.

Cyncity: That son of a stinger gave MY trophy to that little slu--

She stops herself just before ut came pouring out.

Cyncity: Stupid chick! I don’t even know WHY this is ticking me the heck off, but it is. It’s not even that stupid trophy anymore. He’s just getting on my stinkin’ nerves, constantly trying to press me up against a wall. Does he not know that I’ll come out swinging happy?! I’ll knock his jaw off his face if I have to!

She lets out a grunt and sighs, crossing her arms.

Cyncity: Bad mood, Tony. Bad mood right now.

Carmine let out a slight chuckle, trying not to laugh too hard at Cyn’s choice of words.

Sunshine Tony: I can see that. Look, hun. He doesn’t care about that trophy either. It’s the principle and goal to get under that skin of yours.

He lets out a sigh before embracing her like an angry child who just got out of timeout.

Sunshine Tony: All you gotta do is kick his as--kick his stinkin’ butt all over the ring. It’ll make him feel pretty stupid for trying to downplay you like he has.

Tony lets go and leans against the nearby wall.

Sunshine Tony: Until then, act like nothing he says or does bother you. You can at least PRETEND to be oblivious right?

He pulls out a small comb from his pants pocket and starts to groom his hair back. He gives a smirk, not realizing how passionate she was about this whole situation. With a shrug of the shoulders he turns around and tries to see if there’s a mirror around. Disappointed, he looks down.

Sunshine Tony: You’re a Rich Homie for a reason. Rich Homiez don’t let pettiness keep their eyes off the prize silly!

Cyn brings her phone back up and hands it to Tony.

Cyncity: You could use that as a mirror, ya know. Jeeeze, I thought you of all people would’ve had that figured out already!

She takes a moment to think over everything Tony said to her as he held Cindy’s phone in front of himself and checked his hair out. Cindy store up at the ceiling, trying to calm her nerves, leaning back up against the nearest wall.

Cyncity: Yeah, you’re right. But this has been weeks, no… MONTHS of him talking smack and smacking in the head with a crutch. Kinda tired of it. Not really proud of the fact that I didn’t beat him last time either.

She grunts again, turning her attention from the ceiling to Tony.

Cyncity: Oblivious, right? Okay, got it. Act oblivious, give him a good whoopin’ in… Errr, however long from now. And then smack him in the face with a crutch after I beat him?

Sunshine Tony: Precisely!

Satisfied with how he looks, he hands her back the phone, scratching his chin.

Sunshine Tony: If it was me, I’d go find him now and beat him to death with a crutch before the match. Then just pick up the scraps. Ain’t Banks somewhere with Kucci? They wouldn’t have a problem with making sure Karma has a little “accident” before your match.

He gives her an exaggerated wink before laughing.

Sunshine Tony: Nah. On second thought, you can do this alllllll by yourself. And you know why? Because you’re Cyncity dammit...I mean...darnit! Jeez, I feel like I’m with my mother when I’m with you and can’t curse.

Tony laughs, not realizing Cyn didn’t quite get the joke.

Sunshine Tony: I think you know what you gotta do, though. Just a matter of staying focused and executing, sweetie.

Cyncity: Don’t know why you guys has to be curse anyways. There’s plenty of words you could replace with curses.

She looks away, scratching her chin pondering something over.

Cyncity: Not really sure how many other people can get away with saying butters my bagels though. Oh well!

She looks at her phone screen, realizing how close she was to her match.

Cyncity: Okays. I really have to go and get my knee pads and stuff on. Stay focused, executing, kneepads, and smack him in the face with a crutch. Got it. I’m probably gonna forget my stinkin’ kneepads… No I won’t!

She waves toward Tony, running down the hall before she forgot to put her knee pads on. He blows her a kiss before looking around and walking in the opposite direction.

Sunshine Tony: That girl is truly something else...I really need some lean now. OOOHHH KUUUCCCCIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!

He playfully yells as he skips down the hallway. The scene fades as stagehands and backstage employees scurry around the halls.

Steel Cage Match
FGA Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship
(c) Joshua Black vs. Chaz Holiday

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: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is a Steel cage Match for the Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship! The match cannot be won by going through the cage door or by climbing out of the cage! The match can only be won by pinfall or submission! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Johnny Windham and Heather Black! from Phoenix, Arizona! Weighing in at 245 pounds! He is the reigning... defending... Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion... JOSHUA BLACK!

As the group gets to the ring, Johnny and Heather stay on the outside as Joshua enters through the cage door.

## 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. ##

Clement: It's pretty unconventional seeing the champion come out first. But everything about Joshua's reign as the Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion has been unconventional.

Grayson: It's the champion's choice on who comes out first. And for the last time, Joshua didn't screw Chaz Holiday over. Chaz screwed Chaz. Chaz was the one who foolishly put his title on the line and Joshua made him pay.

Clement: Yeah, well Chaz is going to make him pay once that steel cage door is locked.

"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 opponent, 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. The bell sounds as Black knocks the chair into Chaz's face with a baseball slide, knocking him down.

Clement: And now we see why Joshua wanted to come out first! This is yet another cheap shot in the long list of dirty tactics from Joshua Black!

Grayson: You've got to give the man credit. It was a hell of a plan!

Black heads to the outside and puts the boots to Chaz to boos from the crowd. After leaning Chaz against the cage opening, Black takes the door and repeatedly swings it into Chaz to boos from the crowd.

Clement: Oh come on!

Grayson: "Oh come on" what? This is perfectly legal! Once again, Chaz wanted this match. Now, Black is making him regret it.

He then rolls Chaz back into the ring. Once Black gets into the ring, the outside ref closes the door and locks it. Back in the ring, Chaz turns over on all fours. He tries to crawl across the ring. But Black runs over and delivers a stomp to the back of the head. Chaz gets back up and continues to try and crawl across the ring. But Black delivers a double ax handle smash to the back. Chaz gets back up on all fours. This time, Black runs over and delivers a punt kick to the ribs, knocking Chaz onto his back. Black quickly goes down and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Chaz gets his shoulder up.

Clement: Chaz gets his shoulder up. But a lot of damage has been done to him in the early goings of the match.

Grayson: Aw, poor Chaz...

Black picks up Chaz, runs into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. He then grabs Chaz, runs across the ring into the opposite corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. Chaz stumbles back before falling down. Black then heads over towards Chaz before putting the boots to him. He then reaches down and slaps Chaz across the face for good measure. After picking Chaz back up, Black takes him and whips him into the ropes. When Chaz comes back, Black throws him down with a belly to belly suplex to boos from the crowd. While Chaz is down, Black goes over and delivers an elbow drop. Black gets back up and delivers another elbow drop. He gets up, measures up Chaz and delivers a third elbow drop before making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chaz gets his shoulder up.

Grayson: Black is absolutely having his way with Chaz!

Clement: Well what do you expect? You saw what happened!

Grayson: Yes, you're right. I saw Joshua Black once again outsmart Chaz Holiday.

Black picks up Chaz, only to throw him back down with a scoop slam. He then goes over, hook his arms around Chaz' legs and leans back, catapulting him against the cage wall. The crowd boos as Chaz bounces off the wall and falls to the canvas. Black picks up Chaz, lifts him up across his shoulder, runs across the ring and delivers a running powerslam against the cage wall. He then takes Chaz, turns around, runs across the ring and delivers a running powerslam against the second cage wall. Black grabs Chaz, runs over and delivers another running powerslam against the third cage wall. He then takes Chaz, runs and delivers yet another running powerslam. This time, against the fourth cage wall. The crowd boos as Black runs and delivers a running powerslam onto the center of the ring. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chaz gets his shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: This has been total domination on the part of Joshua Black.

Clement: Chaz's back injury has been well documented. Those powerslams against the cage walls surely haven't helped

As Black slowly picks up Chaz, Chaz begins to nail him with a series of punches to the midsection. But Black stops the comeback with a clubbing shot to the back, followed by a snap suplex. Black goes over and slowly picks up Chaz. This time, Chaz tries to elbow Black in the midsection. But again, Black cuts off the attack. This time, with a knee lift. Black then picks up Chaz and lifts him up onto his shoulders and goes for a running powerbomb onto the cage wall. But Chaz counters with a hurricanrana to cheers from the crowd.

As both men get up, Chaz runs over, leaps up and takes down Black with a Lou Thesz Press. The crowd cheers as Chaz hammers away with punches to the face.

Clement: There you go, Chaz!

Chaz grabs Black by the throat with both hands and tries to choke the life out of him to cheers from the crowd. But the cheers turn to boos as Black reaches up and rakes Chaz across the eyes. As Chaz stumbles away from him, Black turns over and gets up to his feet. He then goes over to attack Chaz. But Chaz catches him with a kick to the midsection. He then takes Black and slams his head into the cage wall to cheers from the crowd. He then takes Black, runs across the ring and throws him against the cage wall to cheers from the crowd. Black bounces off the wall and tumbles down to the canvas. Black tries to get away. But Chaz grabs him from behind, runs and throws him against another cage wall to cheers from the crowd. Chaz then grabs Black by the head with both hands, presses Black's face up against the cage wall and grates it against the cage to cheers from the crowd. Black stumbles into the corner. But Chaz is right behind him. He grabs Black from behind and slams his head into the top turnbuckle while the crowd counts along.

Crowd: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN!

After turning him Black around, Chaz climbs up onto the middle ropes and punches him while the crowd counts along.

Crowd: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN, FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN, SIXTEEN, SEVENTEEN, EIGHTEEN, NINETEEN, TWENTY, TWENTY ONE, TWENTY TWO, TWENTY THREE, TWENTY FOUR, TWENTY FIVE, TWENTY SIX, TWENTY SEVEN, TWENTY EIGHT, TWENTY NINE, THRITY!

The crowd cheers as applauds as Chaz lets out a yell. He then hops down onto Black's thighs and money flips him from out of the corner to cheers from the crowd. As Black sits up and arches his back in pain, it is revealed that Black has been busted open over his right eye.

Grayson: Oh no!

Clement: It serves him right!

Chaz goes over, cups his left hand under Black's chin, takes his right hand and rains down hammer fists to the face to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Chaz is going to town on that cut!

Johnny Windham begins to climb the cage. But Chaz sees this, so he runs over and dropkicks the cage wall, knocking Johnny off the cage and down to the floor. Heather Black then runs over to the cage door and tugs away at the chain. But Chaz runs over and kicks the door, scaring her away. Chaz then heads back over and picks up Black. But Black nails him with a low below, dropping Chaz to his knees to boos from the crowd.

Clement: When all else fails, go for something dirty. Typical Joshua!

Grayson: Yeah, so? It gets the job done!

Black then gets up, picks up Chaz, lifts him up onto his shoulders, runs forward and delivers a powerbomb against the cage wall. Chaz tumbles down to the canvas as the crowd boos. Black then kicks him over onto his back before making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!

Chaz gets his shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Black sits up Chaz and applies a sleeper hold. The ref asks Chaz if he wants to give up, but Chaz won't quit. Chaz begins to bang his heel against the canvas. The crowd takes the cue from Chaz and begins to stomp their feet in unison. With the crowd firmly behind him, Chaz's arms begin to shake. He slowly turns over onto his knees as Black shakes his head in disbelief. After getting up onto his feet, Chaz nails Black with five elbows to the midsection. With the hold now broken, Chaz runs into the ropes. But when Chaz comes back, Black throws him down with three rolling belly to belly suplexes. The crowd boos as Black stands over Chaz, spreads his arms out and yells “GREATNESS BITCH!” He then puts his foot on Chaz's chest for the pin.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chaz knocks Black's foot off of him to cheers from the crowd. But the cheers quickly turn to boos as Black stomps away on Chaz.

Clement: Black tried to add insult to injury by pinning Chaz with his foot on his chest. How low can one man stoop?

Black picks up Chaz and scoops him up across his shoulders, setting up for a Death valley Driver. But Chaz repeatedly elbows Black in the side of the head to cheers from the crowd. After slipping down from behind, Chaz grabs Black and delivers an inverted DDT to cheers from the crowd. He makes the cover.

Black gets his shoulder up to boos from the crowd.

Back on the outside, Johnny Windham bullies Manny Cruz out of his seat. He then takes the chair, folds it up and throws it over the cage wall and into the ring. But Chaz ends up catching it to cheers from the crowd. Chaz then throws down the chair before going over to the cage wall and yelling at Windham. While Chaz's back is turned, Black slowly crawls over and grabs the steel chair.

Clement: Chaz! Chaz! Look out!

After using the steel chair to stand up, Black patiently waits for Chaz to turn around. Once Chaz is down arguing with Windham, Black grips the chair and swings it at Chaz. But Chaz ducks. When Black turns around, Chaz kicks the chair out of his hands and into the air. He then kicks Black in the midsection before delivering the Downward Spiral to cheers from the crowd. While Black is down, Chaz heads into the corner. After climbing up to the top turnbuckle, Chaz flips off and goes for a moonsault. But Black reaches over and pulls the chair on top of him, causing Chaz to land right on the chair. The crowd boos as both men are down and in pain. As Black clutches his midsection, Chaz rolls over to the cage wall and curls up in pain.

Grayson: Black is lucky that the chair was nearby.

Clement: That chair shouldn't even be in the cage in the first place!

Black slowly turns over and gets up to his feet. After getting back up, he picks up the chair to boos from the crowd. He takes his sweet time as he makes his way over to Chaz. As Chaz tries to pull himself up using the ropes, Black grips the chair and nails Chaz in the ribs with one of the chair legs, doubling him over. Black then repositions the chair, raises it over his head and cracks Chaz across the back with it, knocking him down. Black then stands over Chaz, turns the chair upside down and repeatedly jabs the top of the seat of the chair against Chaz's back. The crowd boos as Black throws the chair across the ring.

THRE-NO!

Chaz gets his shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: What!? How!?

Clement: Black can throw everything he can at Chaz. But Chaz won't give up. He wants his title belt and isn't stopping until he gets it!

Black picks up Chaz, brings him over towards the corner and sits him down across the top turnbuckle. After climbing up onto the top rope, Black grabs Chaz and goes for a superplex, but Chaz hangs onto the cage wall with his free hand. After tightening his grip, Black goes for another superplex. But again, Chaz hangs onto the cage wall. After letting go of the cage wall, Chaz delivers a series of punches to the midsection. Once Black lets go, Chaz nails Black with a headbutt to the exposed cut, sending Black down to the canvas to cheers from the crowd.

As Black slowly turns over and tries to push himself off the canvas, Chaz leaps off the top turnbuckle and delivers The Party Starter to cheers from the crowd. He turns Black over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chaz lifts up Black's head. He then wags his finger at the ref.

Clement: What in the world is Chaz doing? He had the match won.

Chaz gets up, heads over towards the corner and begins to climb the turnbuckles.

Grayson: He wants to go for something high risk.

Once Chaz reaches the top turnbuckle, he looks back and sees Black is still down. He then slowly turns and looks up towards the top of the cage.

Grayson: Correction. Something really high risk!

Chaz then begins to climb the cage wall to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Oh no, Chaz! Don't do this, Chaz! It's not worth, it Chaz!

Windham and Heather begin to shake the cage wall. But the two are quickly grabbed by the outside referee and another official to cheers from the crowd. Chaz continues to climb the cage wall until he reaches the top. He looks back and sees that Black is still down. Chaz then turns back to face the crowd. He closes his eyes before flipping off...

Clement: Oh no, Chaz! NO NO NO NO...

...and connecting with a moonsault to cheers an applause from the crowd. Chaz bounces off of Black and rolls over onto his back.

Grayson: AH!

Clement: HE HIT IT! CHAZ HIT A MOONSAULT FROM OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE!

Crowd: THAT WAS AWESOME! ((clap-clap, clap-clap-clap)) THAT WAS AWESOME! ((clap-clap, clap-clap-clap)) THAT WAS AWESOME! ((clap-clap, clap-clap-clap))

Chaz slowly lifts his arm up, turns over and drapes the arm across Black's chest to cheers from the crowd.

TWO!

.
.
THREE!

"Blackout" blasts over the PA as the crowd explodes in cheers.

Cruz: Here is your winner... and the new FGA Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion, CHAZ HOLIDAY!

Once the cage door has opened, the ref is handed the Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship. He then goes over, drapes the belt across Chaz's chest and raises his arm to cheers from the crowd. Chaz, still on his back, kisses the belt before clutching it to his chest.

Clement: Wow, what a match! Chaz Holiday regains the belt that was stolen from him in the first place. But the highlight was the moonsault off the top of the cage.

Grayson: That was risky. Chaz could have overshot the move. Maybe Black could have moved out of the way. Chaz is lucky that he hit that move. He's also lucky that he survived this Steel Cage Match. Next time, his luck just may run out...

In a dark isolated part of the 2300 Arena, is Jimmy Page. Dressed in his ring gear and talking to himself, the cameraman walks up behind him, filming him as he continues to talk.

Jimmy Page: I said, everything...happens for a reason. I said that EVERYTHING...happens for a reason. I told them that, last Taping, and did they listen to me? No, n-no they didn't. Don't they see I'm trying to save them? Can't they see that I'm their soothsayer? But just like Rome or...any other civilization that has been CRUSHED into dirt...they will fall before the night is over.

Jimmy stands up, still standing in the corner, now fiddling with his fingers. He leans against the left part of the wall, his back still turns from the camera's lens.

Jimmy Page: I could go on, and on about how Dom Harter and Dan Herrera have screwed me over; Go on this long tirade, I could do that. But...

He extends his arms out and looks up at the ceiling...

Jimmy Page: IT'S ALL STAR SHOWDOWN...

He holds up three fingers.

Jimmy Page: THREE!!! And at All Star Showdown III...it's Dom Harter versus Dan Herrera versus Jimmy...PAGE. So my need for talking is over, my PLEADS for humanity among these lifeless husks STOPS tonight. The only way to speak to these ingrates that call themselves "BROS" is to severe the head and watch the body DIE. This two headed monster I face in the MAIN EVENT I will cut down and sport as a trophy inside of the confines of my Hall of Fame of DESTRUCTION!!! They both will fall, they both will falter, and goddamn, am I going to enjoy each...and every...second of it.

He turns around slowly, leaning against the corner and clutching the sides. He begins to form a sick smile on his face, he tilts his head to the side and then begins to chuckle.

Jimmy Page: I'm done talking...now I get to do what I know...destroy....

He stops chuckling, then frowns slightly, then goes back to where he start...squatting in the darkness. The camera slowly begins to back away and then it fades away.

Johnny Karma vs. Cyncity

"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: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, 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: Cyncity has had enough of Johnny Karma's crap. The blindsides, the attacks, breaking her trophy and making a mockery out of her. Cindy parker has had enough! Whatever happens to Karma tonight will be of his own doing.

Grayson: The only thing happening tonight is that Karma will, once again, prove that he is the best wrestler in FGA. The more successful and more talented Sex Sells member won her match tonight. Unfortunately, Cyncity won't have the same luck that her partner had earlier on...

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 The Man, The Myth, The Johnny Karma swaggers out onto the top of the ramp holding a gym bag in his hand, using his free hand to blow a kiss to all his fans in attendance who paid to see him and only him this evening and stands there with his hands on his hips to bask in their adulation as Cherry Baum stands by his side to present him to the crowd]

[Karma struts down the ramp towards the ring, making sure not a single hair is out of place on his head, waving and chatting to the members of his adoring public that surround him whilst he walks down to the ring]

[The pair reach ringside, as Cherry climbs onto the apron and holds the ropes open for her man. Karma slides the gym bag into the ring before bounding up the ring steps and stepping through the gap Cherry has created for him into the ring]

[Karma briskly walks across the ring, climbing the turnbuckles and raises an arm into the air, holding up one finger to remind us all of one simple truth – He’s #1]

[Karma climbs down, then walks across the ring and climbs the opposite turnbuckles, looking out into the crowd who have paid for the privilege of watching him wrestle, before unzipping his track top to reveal his chiselled physique. He removes his dark glasses and places them in his jacket pocket, before climbing down]

[As he stands in the ring, Cherry Baum takes the house mic]

Cherry Baum: Introducing first, the only superstar appearing at All-Star Showdown III…weighing in tonight at chilled and skilled with a heavenly build 233lbs, he hails from Queens, NYC – he is the true Iron Man of FWA, 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…

[Karma looks towards CynCity]

Johnny Karma: …Bigfoot’s stripper cousin.

[Karma laughs to himself]

Johnny Karma: Tonight is the long-overdue night where the FWA galaxy finally discover who the true Iron Man in this company is, which…SPOILER ALERT…is the guy making your life worthwhile at this very moment and not, you know…

[Karma points in CynCity’s direction]

Johnny Karma: …whatever that is.

[Karma looks at CynCity, shaking his head]

Johnny Karma: But before that, I wanted to reward somebody with a trophy they are truly deserving of, so if you would do the honours Miss Baum.

[Cherry picks the gym bag off the mat and unzips it, and Karma reaches in to unveil CynCity’s Iron Woman trophy, which was last seen being punted into the crowd a couple of shows ago]

Johnny Karma: As you can see, it’s not as pristine as it used to be, as there’s a large dent in the base and it’s got a few chips and scratches, but with that said it is only right to award the Iron Woman trophy to…

[[Karma turns towards Cyncity and takes a couple of steps towards her, but as CynCity holds out her hand Karma turns around,]

Johnny Karma: …Cherry Baum!

[Karma hands the trophy to Cherry, who takes hold of it in both hands and clutches it to her bosom, smiling from ear to ear]

Johnny Karma: You deserve it for being the best darned woman that FWA has ever seen, and your contribution has gone without recognition for too long, so I hope this goes some way to making up for it.

[Cherry starts literally jumping for joy]

Johnny Karma: Take good care of it, because the last holder of that trophy…well, she lost that, and it looks like she lost the Plastic Shiksa trophy as well. Some people are just so careless…

[Karma nonchalantly tosses the ring mic into the referee’s hands before running off a quick bout of shadow boxing]

The bell sounds as Karma quickly rolls to the outside.

Clement: All that tough talk and Karma is already running away!

But Cyncity isn't wasting any time as she baseball slides to the outside and goes right after him. The crowd cheers as she chases Karma around the ring. After Karma rolling back in, Cyncity goes to roll herself in. Karma sees this and goes for an elbow drop. But Cyncity quickly rolls back to the outside, causing Karma to connect with nothing but the canvas to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Cyncity saw that coming a mile away, Evan.

After she rolls back into the ring, Cyncity grabs Karma by the arm, brings him up to his feet and delivers a series of arm wringers to cheers from the crowd. The ref asks Karma if he wants to give up. But Karma refuses to quit. So Cyncity tries to yank the arm from out of its socket, dropping Karma down to one knee. Karma gets back up, but another yank of the arm brings him back down to one knee. After Karma gets back up, Cyncity takes the arm, lifts it up and delivers an armbreaker across her shoulder, sending Karma stumbling into the corner. Karma calls for a timeout. But Cyncity pays him no mind and kicks him in the midsection. After stepping out onto the apron, Cyncity grabs Karma's arm from behind and wraps him up in a hammerlock around the top rope to cheers from the crowd. The ref gives Cyncity until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...

Cyncity reluctantly lets go. Once free, Karma stumbles across the ring as he clutches his arm. When he turns around, Cyncity connects with a springboard dropkick, sending Karma stumbling through the ropes and to the floor.

Grayson: I don't think we've ever seen this side of Cyncity before in an FGA ring.

Clement: Can you blame her? If Karma put me through all the stuff that he put her through, I'd be pissed off, too!

Cyncity rolls to the outside. She picks up Karma, hammerlocks his arm and shoves him arm-first into the ring post. The crowd cheers as Karma slides down next to the ring post in pain. Cyncity reaches down, picks Karma back up, grabs the arm and swings it wildly against the guard rail. The crowd cheers as Karma clutches the arm. He stumbles around the ring before rolling back in. But Cyncity isn't done with him just yet. She grabs him by the ankle and tries to drag him back to the outside. But Karma uses his free leg to kick Cyncity in the face, breaking the hold. He then rolls back into the ring before getting up and stumbling into the corner.

Cyncity shakes off the attack before rolling back into the ring. She storms over into the corner to attack Karma. But Karma nails her with a punch to the midsection. The crowd boos as Karma takes Cyncity and slams her head three times into the top turnbuckle. After turning her around, Karma unleashes a series of knife-edge chops that echo throughout the arena. He then takes Cyncity and whips her into the opposite corner. Karma runs across the ring. But he runs right into an elbow to the face to cheers from the crowd. As Karma stumbles back, Cyncity turns around and climbs up the turnbuckles. But before she can even flip off to hit the Emphatic Whispers, Karma shoves her from behind, sending her off the top turnbuckle and crashing against the guard rail to boos from the crowd.

Grayson: I bet that's going to leave a mark.

Clement: Cyncity falls hard against the guard rail and man, she looks hurt...

The ref goes to count Cyncity out. But Karma quickly turns the ref around and tells him to look at his arm. While the ref is distracted, Cherry Baum makes her way around ringside and delivers three stomps to Cyncity to boos from the crowd.

Clement: What the hell does she think she's doing?

Grayson: Clearly Cherry saw a spider crawl on Cyncity. She's just trying to kill it, that's all.

After Cherry scurries away, Karma allows the ref to go ahead and count Cyncity out.

Ref: ONE.................... TWO...................... THREE................

Cyncity turns over onto her stomach and begins to slwoly push herself up on all fours...

Ref: ….............. FOUR............. FIVE...............

Cyncity begins to crawl towards the ring. She reaches up, grabs the edge of the apron and slowly pulls herself up to her feet...

Ref: …...................SIX..................... SEVEN.................

After Cyncity pulls herself up onto the apron, Karma greets her with a shoulder thrust through the ropes. He then lifts her up for a vertical suplex. But instead of falling back, Karma delivers a slingshot suplex instead to boos from the crowd. He turns over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.

Cyncity gets her shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Karma picks up Cyncity and whips her into the ropes. When Cyncity comes back, Karma nails her with a kitchen sink, sending her flipping down to the canvas to boos from the crowd. Karma goes over, picks her back up and then sends her back down with a snapmare takeover. After sizing her up, Karma delivers a rolling neck snap to boos from the crowd. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity gets her shoulder up.

Grayson: Karma is having his way with her. Which, of course, is exactly what he's done over the past two months!

Karma picks up Cyncity, heads over into the corner and slams her head into the top turnbuckle. After turning her around, Karma unleashes a series of knife-edge chops that echo throughout the arena. After sizing Cyncity up, Karma connects with Instant Karma, sending Cyncity slumping down in the corner. The crowd boos as Karma steps back towards the center of the ring. After sizing up Cyncity, Karma runs into the corner and goes for the Kodak Moment. But Cyncity rolls to the outside, causing Karma to whiff of the slingshot corner dropkick. She quickly grabs Karma by the ankles and yanks him hard into the ring post. The crowd cheers. Karma sits up, cross eyed and screams in pain.

Grayson: OH NO! THE LITTLE JOHNNIES!

Clement: The little WHAT!?

Cyncity grabs Karma's left leg and swings it hard against the ring post to cheers from the crowd. Cyncity pulls the leg back, only to swing it hard against against the ring post. There is an audible thud from the impact. Cyncity takes the leg and swings it against the ring post once more. After moving Karma's legs, Cyncit delivers a figure four leg lock around the ring post to cheers from the crowd. Karma flails his arms around as he screams in pain. The ref gives Cyncity until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...

Cherry goes over and tries to pull Cyncity off of Karma to boos from the crowd. This causes Cyncity to let go and stare a hole through Cherry. Cherry's eyes widen with shock as she sees Cyncity slowly approaching her.

Grayson: Cherry! CHERRY! RUN!

Cherry then takes off. But Cyncity is in hot pursuit to cheers from the crowd. After two laps around the ring, Cherry tries to slide in. But Cyncity grabs her by the legs. She then tries to pull Cherry to the outside. But Cherry is hanging onto the ropes for dear life. The ref then gets in and tries to separate the two. But it's to no avail. Finally, Cyncity yanks Cherry to the outside with one last tug of the legs. Cherry turns over and sees Cyncity stalking her. Cherry begs for forgiveness. But Cyncity wags her finger at her to cheers from the crowd. Just as Cyncity is about to reach down and attack her, Karma knocks Cyncity down with This Is For The Front Row. The crowd boos as both grapplers are down on the outside.

Grayson: What a save by Karma! And to think people say that he only cares about himself!

Karma slowly turns over and gets back up to his feet. After limping around, he heads over to Cyncity. After picking her up using his good arm, he rolls her back into the ring. Karma then climbs up onto the apron before climbing the turnbuckles. But he's too slow. Cyncity goes into the corner, grabs him and slams him down off the top turnbuckle to cheers from the crowd. While Karma is down, Cyncity steps through the ropes and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Once she reaches the top, she leaps off and goes for a flying headbutt. But Karma rolls out of the way, causing Cyncity to land face-first on the canvas to boos from the crowd. Karma rolls back over, pulls Cyncity over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity gets her shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Cyncity gets her shoulder up just in the nick of time.

Grayson: I'm surprised that face-first fall didn't ring her bell.

Karma picks up Cyncity, brings her over towards the ropes and applies The World's Greatest Abdominal stretch. The crowd boos as Karma cinches in the hold. While the ref checks on Cyncity, Karma reaches back with his free arm. This allows Cherry to reach in and tug on Karma's arm, applying added pressure to the hold. As Cyncity groans in pain, the ref looks up at Karma. But Cherry has already let go of Karma's arm. The ref then kneels back down to check on Cyncity. Karma reaches back with his arm again. Cherry then reaches over and pulls on Karma's arm. But it's too late as the ref is on to them. He goes over and slaps Karma's arm, causing Cherry to let go. While Karma is arguing with the ref, Cyncity takes advantage and throws down Karma with a falling hip toss to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Karma tried to cheat. But he finally got caught red handed!

Grayson: I can't believe the referee hit Karma. That should be an automatic DQ!

After both grapplers slowly get up to their feet, Cyncity nails Karma with a right hand.

Crowd: YEAH!

Karma comes comes with a knife-edge chop.

Crowd: BOO!

Cyncity delivers another punch to the face.

Crowd: YEAH!

Karma responds with another knife-edge chop.

Crowd: BOO!

Karma throws out a knife-edge chop, but Cyncity ducks and counters with another punch to the face.

Crowd: YEAH!

Crowd: YEAH!

Crowd: YEAH!

… and another...

Crowd: YEAH!

… and another...

Crowd: YEAH!

While Karma is dazed, Cyncity goes for a step-up enzuigiri. But Karma ducks. He then picks up Cyncity from behind and lifts her up for a belly to back suplex. But Cyncity rolls over Karma's shoulder, lands on her feet and delivers the Breathtaker to cheers from the crowd. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

Karma gets his shoulder up to boos from the crowd.

Clement: Only two!

As Cyncity gets back up, Karma kicks her in the midsection and then delivers the Bum Trip to boos from the crowd.

Grayson: Karma with the neckbreaker there. That should keep her right where he wants her.

While Cyncity is down, Karma steps through the ropes and raises his arm in the air to boos from the crowd. He then walks across the apron before climbing the turnbuckles. Once he reaches the top, Karma leaps off and goes for the Kickass Angel. But Cyncity rolls out of the way, causing Karma to crash on the canvas to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: OH NO!

Clement: Karma misses the big splash off the top!

As Karma slowly gets up, Cyncity comes from behind and connects with a superkick to the back of the head, sending him stumbling into the ropes. Cyncity goes over, grabs Karma, brings him towards the corner and delivers a snapmare driver onto the middle turnbuckle to cheers from the crowd. While Karma is down, Cyncity steps through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles. Once she reaches the top, she goes for the Standing Ovation. But Karma rolls out of the way. Once Cyncity lands on her feet, her momentum sends her rolling forward. After rolling up to her feet, she turns over and runs to attack Karma. But she runs right into a spinebuster to boos from the crowd. Karma then gets up, hooks his arms around Cyncity's legs and turns her over into the Karmic Crab. The crowd boos as Cyncity can be seen in immense pain.

Grayson: There it is! Karmic Crab! It's over, Kevin. No one survives this!

The ref asks her if she wants to give up. But Cyncity refuses to quit. So Karma pulls back, increasing the pressure.

Clement: You can see the agony that she's in. But Cyncity's got to fight through this.

Grayson: No she doesn't. She just needs to use her brain for once and tap out.

Cyncity pushes herself up off the canvas. But Karma jerks back, sending Cyncity back.

Grayson: Not so fast, Cyn!

The ref asks Cyncity if she wants to give up. But again, Cyncity will not quit.

Clement: Karma's got Cyncity down. But you can hear this Philly crowd beginning to rally behind the hometown girl...

Crowd: CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY!

Cherry can be seen motioning for the crowd to be quiet as Karma tells them all to shut up. Meanwhile, Cyncity begins to feed off the support of the crowd. She pushes herself up off the canvas and begins to slowly crawl towards the ropes to cheers from the crowd. Cherry is throwing a fit on the outside as Karma shakes his head in disbelief. He then squats down, stopping Cyncity. But only temporarily. Cyncity pushes herself back up off the canvas and continues to crawl towards the ropes.

Crowd: CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY! CYN-CI-TY!

Grayson: Dammit Kev, tells these people to pipe down!

Cyncity continues to scratch and claw her way towards the ropes. She's almost there. She reaches out to grab the bottom rope... when Cherry grabs the rope and pulls it back to boos from the crowd.

Clement: Cherry has once again stuck her nose in this match!

Grayson: I see nothing wrong here. She's simply just testing the rope strength.

Cherry stops Cyncity from grabbing the rope. But the ref has had enough. He then points to Cherry... and throws her out to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: YEAH! IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Grayson: He can't do that!

Cherry is slapping the apron as Karma lets go of the hold. He goes over and yells at the ref with Cherry. But the ref isn't having it. He points to Cherry again and throws her out. When Cherry refuses to leave, the ref waves down two referees from the back. The referees each grab Cherry by the arm and escort her to the back. Meanwhile, Karma is yelling at the top of his lungs for them to bring her back.

Once Cherry has been escorted to the back, Karma turns to the referee in the ring and begins poking him in the chest with his index finger. While Karma is still letting out his frustration, Cyncity gets back to her feet to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: Karma! KARMA! LOOK OUT!

When Karma turns around, Cyncity knocks him down with a running front dropkick to cheers from the crowd. Karma gets back up, but Cyncity knocks him down with a jumping knee to the face. As Karma gets back up, Cyncity runs into the ropes. When she comes back, Karma goes for a clothesline. But Cyncity ducks and counters with a floatover spinning neckbreaker to cheers from the crowd.

Grayson: OH NO!

Clement: Soft Pretzel Twist! She's got the submission locked in!

The crowd cheers as Karma groans in pain. Cyncity had the hold cinched in. She applies as much pressure as he can. Karma tries to escape, but he's got nowhere to go. His hand hovers over the canvas to cheers from the crowd. Karma raises his hand... and taps the canvas to cheers from the crowd.

“Nobody's Perfect” blasts over the PA to cheers from the crowd.

Cruz: Here is your winner, CYNCITY!

Cyncity gets her arm raised to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Cyncity's done it! She's finally gotten her payback on Karma. And now, the true Iron Woman stands tall!

Grayson: This wasn't supposed to happen! It wasn't supposed to be like this! This isn't fair!

Clement: Oh, but it is fair!
