FGA World Tag Team Championship
(c) Super Mario Wrestling Bros vs. Young Guns

“Bones” by Young Guns blares throughout the arena as Blake Jones, one half of the Young Guns, quickly explodes out through the curtains and stands at the beginning of the walkway. He gives the audience a great big smile as Riley Owens slowly makes his way out after him. Both men are wearing black jackets with lights popping back and forth on the back of them. The two men look at each other and nod at one another before making their way down to the ring.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is for the FGA World Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers! Weighing in at a combined weight of 388 pounds! They are the team of Blake Jones and Riley Owens... THE YOUNG GUNS!

Blake hops up and down and continues to keep a smirk on his face as he slaps hands with a lot of hands and gets pretty interactive with them, while Riley just slaps hands and slides into the ring. Jones continues to sing along to the song as he hops on the apron before hopping over the ropes and landing on his feet. Both he and Riley make their way to the center of the ring and the lights cut as their names shine out in the darkness, the colors changing. Once the lights come back on, the two young men remove their jackets and toss them to one of the ringside workers before heading off to their corners.

Clement: We saw Riley successfully defend his Pride Championship earlier tonight. But how much does he have left?

Grayson: He did get a two match break, plus the intermission. So maybe he's okay. Maybe he's not. We'll find out soon enough.

"Rockit" begins to play over the speakers as the SMWB step through the curtain to cheers from the crowd. After looking around at the crowd and nodding their heads in approval, the SMWB jump up and races down the aisle.

Cruz: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 373 pounds! They are the reigning... defending... FGA World Tag Team Champions! They are the team of Max Powers and Landon Knight... THE SUPER MARIO WRESTLING BROS!

After sliding underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, they push themselves up and head into opposite corners. After climbing up onto the second rope and trowing their index finger in the air, they climb to the top turnbuckle and backflip off, landing safely on their feet in the ring to cheers.

Clement: The SMWB have taken great offense to going into this match as the underdogs. They feel that they, as the Tag Champs haven't gotten the respect that they deserve.

Grayson: Well they haven't. They've been just as good as the Young Guns, but for longer. But this is a "what have you done for me lately" world. And even though the SMWB are the champs, the most recent thing people remember is the Young Guns winning the Dynamic Duos Tournament. Can Blake and Riley keep their momentum rolling tonight?

The bell sounds as Blake and Max start things off with a lock up. After Blake quickly grabs a side headlock, Max shoves him into the ropes. When Blake comes back, he knocks down Max with a running shoulderblock. Blake then runs into the next set of ropes as Max kips up to his feet. When Blake comes back, Max leap frogs over him. But after Max lands and turns around, Blake throws him down with a side headlock takedown. Max quickly reaches up with his legs and reverses into a leg scissors headlock. But Blake is able to escape with a kip up. After Max scrambles back up to his feet, Blake throws him down again with a side headlock takeover. Max quickly reverses into another leg scissors headlock.

After placing his leg across the back of Blake's neck and performing a back flip, Blake jumps up and brings him down with a hurricanrana to cheers from the crowd. Max gets back up, but Blake connects with a running dropkick, sending Max stumbling through the ropes and to the floor.

Clement: Some fast-paced action early on. But Blake Jones gains the advantage as he sends Max to the outside.

Grayson:

While Max is on the outside, Blake waves his arms up and down. As Max begins to get up on the outside, Blake runs into the ropes. When Blake comes back, Max senses Jones, Jones, and Away coming.

Clement: Max planted Riley with that DDT. But Blake was able to make the save.

Grayson: Yeah, Blake made the save. But the SMWB are doing the smart thing by working over Riley. In tag matches, you always wanted to isolate one partner and work him over. But Riley has already wrestled a 2 out of 3 falls match. He looked good early in this one. But now as we start to get later and later into the match, now the earlier match will finally have its effect on Riley.

Clement: What a counter by Riley!

Grayson: He timed that one perfectly!

While Max is down, Riley turns over and begins to crawl towards his corner. Blake repeatedly slaps the top turnbuckle as Riley continue to pull himself across the ring.

Clement: Riley is almost there!

Grayson: Yeah, but "almost" isn't good enough. He needs to get himself into that corner and tag in the fresh man.

Riley is almost there... when Max comes out of nowhere and nails Blake with a Koopa Kick, knocking him down to the floor. Max then picks up Riley and whips him into the SMWB corner.

Grayson: See you later, Landon...

As Blake pulls himself back up onto the apron, Riley begins to stumble over towards him. But Max gets up and applies a waist lock from behind. But Riley continues to make his way across the ring. So Max crouches down, stopping Riley in his tracks. After trying to pry Max's arms from around him, Riley reaches back and elbows him in the face.

(A taped hand is the focus on the camera, as it starts being taped up and finishes up in one fail swoop, a red permanent marker coming across the white tape, words being seen as clear as day as the hand finishes writing whatever it is on the hand and the arm.

The camera though pulls up to see the person writing it is none other than Kevin Hardaway.

Dressed in what seems like an old school vibe tonight. Camo shorts and an old zip-up hoodie that has his former motto written on it. "Unbreakable". Underneath it is what appears to be a black tank-top. He's ready for battle. Most apparent though is his face. Barely seen however, it looks like he has facepaint on, in the form of a half skull covering his eyes and nose as he smiles. That out of focus we can still see as he just shows us all his hand and what's written on it.

"For HER!

He walks up and out of the camera's shot and away from everybody. It's time for war!)

"Chivalry is Dead" Match
Chris Bond vs. Kevin Hardaway

Before either entrance theme for the next match can officially blast throughout the arena, multiple security guards begin making their way down and surround the ring.

Clement: Looks like we’re going to make sure nothing happens before the match, huh?

The house lights go out in the arena as the opening of "Motionless In White (Deluxe Edition)" flares up. Strobe lights begin to go insane when the vocals blare out of the sound system as Kevin Hardaway appears in the entryway. The crowd turns sour at the very sight of him. Kevin inhales before he makes his way down the ring.

Cruz: The following is your first main event of the evening! And it is a Chivalry is Dead Match! There are no count outs and no disqualification! The only way to win is by pinfall or submission! Introducing first, from Baltimore, Maryland! Weighing in at 229 pounds! He is "The Voice of the Violence"... KEVIN HARDAWAY!

A few hands get kicked away as once Kevin is at ringside, he hops up on the ring apron. The lights are back to normal as they enter the ring as he heads to the nearest turnbuckle and goes up to the top buckle. Some take pictures as he steps down, inhaling once more as he does the same thing on the other side of the ring before backing into the corner as he then waits for the match to begin as his entrance song fades off.

Clement: For months now, Kevin Hardaway has been a pain in Chris Bond’s side. And tonight, Bond gets to get rid of him once and for all.

Grayson: It’s all Bond’s fault that this is happening! The damn dirty cheater!

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

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

The house lights dim in the smaller facility, and multi-colored lights soon flicker throughout the filled-to-the-brim center. The crowd jumps to it's feet, blowing the roof off from the much smaller arena as Chris Bond makes his way out from behind the curtains. As he emerges from behind the curtain, there is a small burst of excitement from the crowd. With a spotlight lighting his way, Bond makes his way down the aisle and towards the ring, even slapping a few hands on the way down. Soon enough he jogs up the stairs, and walks along the ring apron before wiping his feet. Chris Bond steps over the second rope and into the ring. The self-proclaimed legend of the wrestling world walks to the center of the ring and stands there for a moment, as flashes go off through out the waves of fans. He circles the ring, arms outstretched, as the fans cheer loudly once again. Bond enjoys this, as his trademark smirk re-emerges on his face. Heading to his corner, Bond does a few stretches as he waits for the match to begin.

Clement: Chris Bond is ready to destroy Kevin Hardaway, but the question is, how will that knee fare in this contest?

Grayson: It’s going to be a pain for Bond and you can bet that Hardaway will take advantage of it.

In a move that almost catches the audience by surprise and definitely catches Kevin Hardaway off guard, Chris Bond charges forward, as fast as he can, and tackles Kevin Hardaway to the mat. K-Hard is quick on the defense but Chris Bond, having had to deal with everything Kevin Hardaway has thrown his way, is letting go of all of his frustrations as he begins to nail him with lefts and rights, the audience absolutely losing their minds at the fact that Bond has snapped almost immediately.

Clement: Look at Bond, go!

Grayson: I can't believe this! I thought his knee was shot?

The ref is quick to try and pull him off, before remembering that his job in this match is to pretty much check whether one wants to give up or slap that mat three times to declare a victor. Once Hardaway finds the opening, he pokes Bond right in the eyes, forcing him to roll off of him and allowing Hardaway to quickly exit the hell out of the ring to boos from the Philly audience.

Clement: Blatant cheap shot there by Hardaway.

Grayson: Yeah, so? It's a Chivalry is Dead Match! There's no disqualification, smart guy!

Bond is quick to shake off the poking of the eyes and quickly sees that Hardaway has slithered out of the ring and decides to follow suit. Bond slowly rolls underneath the bottom rope, Hardaway still having his back turned to him, and grabs K-Hard from behind before charging forward and sending him crashing into the steel post...or rather, Hardaway blocks it and grabs Bond’s head instead before driving his skull into the steel post. Chris drops to a knee and Kevin immediately takes advantage, grabbing the battle hardened veteran by the head and sending him crashing into the barricade with a large thud! The audience continues to boo, but Kevin just avoids listening to them and walks over to Chris before disgustingly kicking at him like he’s trash. The people clearly don’t like that, but Kevin just continues to kick away at Chris...until the former two time Pride champion grabs his legs and tackles him back to the ground!

Hardaway has a widen eyed look of fear as Bond quickly gets on top of him once more, this time more able to drive his fists into Hardaway’s skull, though he’s looking more at the back of the first ever Pride champion’s head. Bond eventually gets tired of just punching the shit out of the back of Hardaway’s skull and immediately grabs his head before lifting it up...and driving it right into the ground repeatedly! The seemingly bloodthirsty audience are cheering their heads off as Bond continues drilling Hardaway’s face into the ground until he falls limp.

Clement: There's nothing scientific about that at all.

Grayson: Bond challenged Hardaway to this match for a reason. This isn't about seeing who is the better wrestler. It's not even about seeing who the better man in. It's about Bond wanting to end Hardaway's career in this very building.

Bond proceeds to release the Baltimore native’s head before getting up to both feet...only to walk (more like limp, amiright?) over towards the ring and kneels down before pulling the apron covering the contents underneath. Bond seems to scan the weapons underneath the ring before a smirk appears onto his face as he pulls out....a kendo stick! The Philadelphia audience applauds the weapon choice as Bond gets back up and begins motioning for Hardaway to get up to both feet so that he can go to practice.

Clement: Bond is choking up on that kendo stick. He's ready to knock Hardaway's head off of his body and out of this state!

Grayson: Hardaway, don't turn around!

K-Hard, holding his face in pain as he stirs on the ground, slowly begins getting to a knee. When Chris realizes his foe is in the perfect position and goes swinging with the kendo stick, but Kevin quickly notices it and ducks it, forcing the kendo stick to nail the steel post and snap in half. Chris looks at the broken kendo stick in his hands and shakes his head before dropping it. Once he turns around, his right knee is clipped by K-Hard, knocking Chris down onto it!

Grayson: There we go!

Clement: Hardaway is lucky to have barely missed getting cracked over the head with that kendo stick. And of course, he goes right after Bond's knee.

K-Hard quickly takes a step back before charging forward and kicking up his right foot, nailing the jaw of Chris and knocking him onto his ass! The audience boos as Kevin has finally decided to take the match back into the ring as he grabs Chris and rolls him back in.

But Hardaway doesn’t follow Bond into the ring. Instead, he begins checking underneath the apron again, looking to do some damage with any weapon he can find. When Hardaway finds his weapon, he, like Bond, smirks and pulls it from under the ring. And when he reveals the steel chain in his hands, the audience begins to really rain down with the boos.

Clement: A man like Hardaway could do a lot of damage with that steel chain.

Grayson: He could whip the hell out of Bond with it. or maybe he'll wrap it around his fist and pummel Bond with it.

Kevin Hardaway quickly slides into the ring and immediately gets to his feet, wrapping the steel chain around his right hand before motioning for the former two time Pride champion to get to his feet. But Bond just stays down instead of getting to both feet, irritating the already highly irritated Kevin Hardaway. Hardaway unwraps the steel chain front his right hand, letting out a sigh, before dropping it to the mat. He then proceeds to walk over to Bond and grab him by the head yet again before slowly getting him up to both feet...only for Bond to be playing possum as he grabs Hardaway and gets him into a cradle pinfall attempt, the stunned audience beginning to cheer!

ONE!
.
.
TW-KICKOUT!

Grayson: I see Bond is up to his old dirty tricks again. Though I don't blame him for wanting out of this match already. He knows he's in way over his head.

Clement: That's not even remotely true.

Hardaway just manages to kick out before quickly rolling to his feet. Bond, still having that knee injury of his, is too slow for Hardaway, who drives a boot into his face, knocking him back down onto the mat. K-Hard, looking more pissed off than before, quickly gets atop of Bond and begins nailing him with rights and lefts before getting to his feet and letting out a roar. Hardaway turns back to Bond and gets him up to both feet before irish whipping him into a corner. Bond bounces hard off of the corner and stumbles forward slightly, allowing Hardaway to drill him with a European Uppercut that sends Bond slumping into the corner. Hardaway, now sensing the blood in the water, slowly takes a step back as he watches Bond fall to his ass but keep his head up against the bottom turnbuckle. Once again, Hardaway takes yet another step back before charging forward and drilling Bond right in the head with a corner shining wizard! The audience boos as Hardaway peels Bond off and out of the corner before dragging him away from the ropes and attempting a pinfall!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.

Bond manages to surge a shoulder up after the ref’s hand slaps the mat the second time. Hardaway, not wanting his work to go to waste, gets to his feet and immediately begins heading for a corner and climbing the turnbuckles.

Clement: What's he going to do up there?

Grayson: I doubt it's to get a better view of the crowd.

Once at the top, Hardaway begins motioning for Bond to get to his feet, which he does, before leaping off and attempting a dropkick! But Bond moves out of the way, forcing Hardaway to crash into the mat! Hardaway, not completely taken out by the impact of his body and the mat hitting one another, gets to a knee before Chris Bond hooks his head and plants him onto the mat with a DDT! When Bond begins rolling over Hardaway and looking to go for the pin, Bond notices the steel chain that was dropped onto the mat by Kevin Hardaway and begins to smirk as he crawls over to it. Once by the steel chain, Bond takes it and wraps it around his right hand.

Clement: Now Bond's got the chain

Grayson: Hardaway needs to roll to the outside...

Bond slowly gets to his feet, his right knee giving him problems still, before he turns his attention to Kevin Hardaway. Bond begins motioning for Hardaway to his feet, but when the Baltimore native only gets to a knee, Bond has no choice but to abort his original plan and think of a new one. The Battle Hardened Veteran slowly makes his way behind Hardaway and quickly grabs his hair from behind with his free hand, revealing Hardaway’s face to everyone. Bond then raises up his steel chain covered fist to a loud cheer, while Hardaway begins pleading like a grade school child asking his mother for some candy! But you know Bond will have none of that as he just shakes his head....and begins driving his right, steel chain wrapped fist into Hardaway’s head!

Grayson: No!

Clement: Right in the face!

The fist collides clean on, and almost lays out Hardaway. But the second has an even louder thud, one making the audience let out an “ooh” sound. But Bond isn’t finished as he feels Hardaway slightly fall limp, before driving multiple fast punches towards the right sight of his face! When Bond is done, he lets Hardaway’s head go and before the rest of Hardaway’s body can hit the mat, you can see early bruising and a bit of bleeding from the right side of Hardaway’s lip.

Grayson: Kevin's been busted open!

Clement: If Bond keeps this up, the blood will surely start flowing.

Bond tosses the steel chain after it has served its use, landing in a corner close by. Bond seems almost delighted that he was able to cause Hardaway so much pain as he steps back and waits for the stirring Hardaway to get to his feet. Once K-Hard gets to a knee, Bond limps forward and reaches down, hooking him around the waist before using his weight advantage to lift him, then bring him right on down, his back slamming the mat as Bond nails a gutwrench powerbomb! The audience applauds the move as Bond goes for the pin!

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

Hardaway just manages to power out and Bond slowly gets to his feet, looking slightly frustrated. He grabs K-Hard by the head and slowly gets him up to both feet....only for a slightly dazed K-Hard to low blow him! The audience immediately lets K-Hard have it as he slowly gets to both feet, while Bond drops to his knees.

Clement: Another cheap shot by Hardaway!

Grayson: Yeah, but it's all legal here.

This allows a smirking, bruised, and bleeding K-Hard to spin his body around and raise his left leg up before nailing a roundhouse kick! The Philly audience continues to boo as K-Hard then proceeds to stumble backwards, eventually finding himself up against the ropes, where he proceeds to lean up against them. After a few seconds of staring down at a motionless Bond, Hardaway begins scanning the ring before finding himself...the steel chain.

Clement: Oh no...

Grayson: Oh yes. Now we'll see how Bond likes it...

Hardaway quickly begins stumbling towards that corner and eventually gets there. He picks up the steel chain....and begins wrapping it around his arm, a sick grin over his face. He gets it all the way just past his elbow before turning around and locking his eyes on Bond, almost like how a lion would to a zebra.

The audience members try to warn Bond as he begins stirring, looking to get to his feet. But Bond is on a world of his own as he does not realize when he gets to his feet, that K-Hard is right behind him. This allows K-Hard to charge forward and raise up his right boot, driving it into the back of Bond’s skull! Bond drops to a knee before K-Hard takes aim...and nails him with the steel chain wrapped elbow, knocking him out cold with the modified KTFO~! This audience goes berserk as they watch Hardaway unwrap the steel chain from around his arm before going for the cover on Bond!

Clement: Steel-wrapped elbow to the head! That's gotta be it!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NO!

Bond gets his shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

K-Hard cannot believe, but the audience lets out a huge cheer as Bond manages to kick out! The Baltimore native begins slapping the mat at the fact that he couldn’t put his opponent away. Hardaway gets to his feet and looks at Bond, flabbergasted as to what to do next. He grabs him by the head once more and barely gets him up to both feet before tossing him through the ropes and out of the ring. Hardaway follows suit as he exits the ring via rolling underneath the bottom rope, before he grabs Bond once more and sends him crashing into the steel steps at ringside! But the audience doesn’t give up on Bond as they begin cheering him on, knowing that’s the only thing they can do as he is in quite a predicament.

Grayson: These fans can cheer for Bond all they want. But it's not going to make the pain that he's feeling go away.

Hardaway peels him off of the steps and sends him crashing into the barricade next before turning around and slowly pulling off the smaller part of the steel steps. Hardaway pulls the steel step part off and lifts it up, his target being Chris Bond.

Bond slowly gets to his feet, using the barricade to help himself up before stumbling forward, giving Hardaway a free shot with the steel steps basically. Hardaway charges forward, looking to nail Bond with the steel steps...BUT BOND DUCKS AT THE LAST SECOND! Hardaway loses control of the steel steps and they go flying out of his hands to the ground. He quickly turns around and is met with a low blow as well as Bond nails the Hardaway family jewels with a swift left footed kick.

Grayson: Go ahead! Go ahead and call the cheap shot on Bond.

Clement: Turnabout is fair play...

Hardaway goes down, clutching at his area, but Bond uses this to his advantage as he hooks his head and gets Hardaway up to both feet. Bond then goes for a suplex onto the floor, struggling the entire time before planting Hardaway’s back onto the ground with a suplex. Bond holds his knee in pain as the audience continues to cheer him on.

Clement: Suplex right onto the floor! You could hear the thud upon impact.

Grayson: Im sure that hurt Hardaway. But Bond looks to be hurting even more.

Once he shakes off the pain in the knee, Bond slowly gets himself up and begins limping over to Kevin Hardaway. He grabs the first ever Pride Champion by the head and slowly gets him up to both feet before irish whipping him into the apron, back first. Bond then proceeds to roll Hardaway back into the ring before sliding in himself. When Chris Bond finally gets to his feet, he grabs K-Hard by the head and whips him into the ropes, sending him over the middle one before pulling him and hooking his head, keeping him suspended onto the second rope. The audience know what’s coming next as they let out a loud cheer before Bond drops down, Hardaway’s head around his left arm, and plants Hardaway’s head right onto the mat with Rejection! The audience lets out an explosive, unanimous cheer as Bond...rolls out of the ring again?

Clement: Bond's not going for the cover?

Grayson: Well, no one ever said he was smart...

The audience seem just as surprised as the announcers are as Bond begins searching under the ring for something instead of rolling over K-Hard and attempting to pin him for the three count. Hardaway notices that the weapon he is looking for is not there, so he begins limping over to where the some of the ring crew members are and grabs a steel chair from that group before limping back towards the ring. Bond slides in his weapon before slowly rolling in himself. When he gets to both feet...HE IS MET WITH A CHAIR JAB TO THE RIBS! Kevin Hardaway has managed to use all the time Bond spent wasting trying to find the right weapon and now has the steel chair in his hands! He slams the chair into Bond’s back, sending the Chicago resident falling to the mat. Hardaway continues the assault by slamming the chair onto Bond’s a few times, getting him back for those steel chain wrapped punches to the face.

Clement: Hardaway's just unloading on Bond with those chair shots!

Grayson: I know Bond has been trying to stay sober for years now. But he's going to need all the alcohol he can get his hands on to take this pain away.

Bond writhes around in pain as K-Hard finally tosses the steel chair out of the ring and just looks down at Bond with a sneer before grabbing him and slowly getting him up to both feet. He irish whips Bond into the nearest corner before he runs towards the opposite corner, bounces off of that one, and goes charging towards Bond’s corner. What happens next is clearly a last chance attempt by Bond as he takes on the incoming Hardaway and charges forward, catching K-Hard off guard and nailing him with a running lariat! The audience explodes as both men now fall to the mat, both looking exhausted as hell. Bond slowly crawls over towards Hardaway and drapes an arm over him, looking to finish this match as the audience cheers him on!

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

The audience immediately begins booing as Hardaway gets his right shoulder up, but after some small head shaking, Bond begins to use the close by ropes to help himself up to both feet. He then limps over towards Hardaway’s stirring body and using his good leg, begins stomping the hell out of him. The first two stomps connect with the midsection, the third with the rib cage, the fourth with the right arm, and the fifth with the already bruised face of the owner of that entire body. Bond then proceeds to grab both of Hardaway’s legs before wrapping them around his arms and turning him over, locking in the Texas Cloverleaf!

Clement: Cloverleaf! He's got the Texas Cloverleaf applied!

Grayson: You can make it to the ropes, Hardaway. You can do this...

The audience begins chanting at Hardaway, telling him to tap out to the submission maneuver, but Hardaway just lets out screams of pain. He begins biting down onto his right hand knuckles, trying not to let the pain get to him, but the urge to tap is getting strong. Especially when Bond begins pulling back, the submission now bringing some real hell to the back of Hardaway. But somehow, someway, Hardaway doesn’t tap. Instead, he takes a wild backwards swing and his fist luckily manages to collide with Bond’s knee! Bond, feeling the pain shoot through him, quickly lets go of Hardaway and stumbles forward, holding his knee in pain.

Grayson: What a guy! How good is he?

Clement: He's definitely resourceful.

The ref begins checking on Bond, asking him if he wants him to call off this match, but Bond just shakes his head. Instead, Bond takes one look over at his opponent and sees that Hardaway is still down before quickly rolling out of the ring and beginning to search behind the ring apron for a weapon. It takes a bit of time, but Bond eventually pulls out a folded up table, a smirk on his face, before he slides it into the ring.

Grayson: Oh great...

Clement: This crowd wanted tables! Bond is now giving them what they want!

Bond follows behind it and when he gets to both feet, he proceeds to take the table and set it up against the nearest corner, leaning it up against the turnbuckles. When Bond turns around, K-Hard comes charging in, looking to take them both through the table...only for Bond to sidestep him! K-Hard almost crashes into the table, but stops in his tracks before he could. When he turns around...he is met with a boot to the gut by Bond, who proceeds to try and lift him up for a cradle piledriver...

....BUT HIS KNEE GIVES OUT! Hardaway lands back down onto his feet and proceeds to grab Bond and irish whip him into the corner where the table’s at, only for Bond to press his hands against the table, preventing himself from going through it. Shaking off the knee pain, Bond turns around and is met with a spinning back fist that rocks his jaw! Bond drops to a knee, but Hardaway isn’t finished as he then grabs Bond’s arm and brings him in, taking him out with a short arm lariat Hardaway likes to call the “Decap Lariat”! Bond falls to the mat, seemingly out cold, and Hardaway goes for the pin, looking to end it all as the audience boos him!

Clement: Hardaway nearly lived up to the moves name with that lariat! Could this be it...

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NO!

Even the audience is stunned that Bond managed to kick out, but most of them cheer him on anyway! Hardaway looks over at the ref, hands on his head, and begins shouting back at him that he miscounted. The ref shakes his head and flashes Hardaway two fingers, letting him know it was a two count. K-Hard just shakes his head as he slithers out of the ring and begins searching for yet another weapon to be brought in. Slowly, he pulls out a pair of metal kickpads, which he instantly puts on. Sliding back into the ring, Hardaway looks over at Bond and shakes his head before turning to the fans and taunting them. The taunting proves to be a mistake though as he turns around and is lifted into the air before getting planted onto his back with a spinebuster from Bond!

Clement: Hardaway taunted and Bond made him pay!

Grayson: But look at Hardaway!

Hardaway almost immediately shakes off the spinebuster, which wasn’t one of Bond’s best, and lets adrenaline flow through him as he gets to his feet again, only for Bond to catch him and plant him face first into the mat with End Of Days! The audience is off their feet, cheering their heads off...but Bond seems to have taken some kind of bump to the back after nailing the move!

Clement: Bond hit the End of Days! It's over, Evan!

Grayson: But Bond can't make the cover!

The audience tries to will him on so that he can roll over and attempt the pinfall attempt, and when he shakes off the pain, he does just that, looking to end the match right here as he drapes an arm over Hardaway’s chest!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
THRE-NO!

Hardaway getting his shoulder up is quite possibly the biggest mood killer of the night for the audience as they go silent. Bond looks up at the ref, who reluctantly has to tell him it was only a two count. Bond shakes his head as he gets up to both feet and begins stepping away from Hardaway, looking exhausted and just ready to end this whole thing. When he sees K-Hard up to both knees, Bond limps forward and grabs him by the head, but once he gets him up to both feet...Hardaway rakes the eyes of Bond! Bond, now blinded, instinctively holds onto his face, which allows K-Hard to kick him right in the gut, hook his head, and lift him up before bringing him down and nailing The End of Heartache, K-Hard’s metal kickpads adding even more damage to Bond as he drops to the mat, unconscious! Hardaway just lets out a smirk as he drops to the mat and hooks both legs for the pinfall, the audience giving him all the hate he can have.

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
THREE!

"Motionless In White (Deluxe Edition)" blares throughout the arena as the crowd erupts in boos.

Cruz: The winner of this match... KEVIN HARDAWAY!

K-Hard slowly gets to his feet and has his hand raised in victory before he stumbles forward and leans up against the close by ropes, holding his face in pain.

Clement: It should not have ended this way! Kevin Hardaway should not have walked out the winner!

Grayson: Well, he did. And if I’m a smart wrestler, I’d make sure to get the hell out Hardaway’s way.

Clement: This was supposed to be Bond's night of redemption! He was supposed to get his revenge for all the hell that Hardaway's put him through!

Grayson: Yeah, well I want a red corvette. You don't always get what you want. This isn't the movies. The heroes don't always get the girl and ride off into the sunset. This is real life. And in real life, the good guys don't always win. Sometimes, it's the villains that are triumphant. And tonight, The Voice of the Violence will be heard throughout the streets of Philadelphia!

MAIN EVENT
Three Way Dance
FGA World Championship
(c) Dom Harter vs. Dan Herrera vs. Jimmy Page

The familiar eerie cue up from, "They Are Lost" by Last Remaining Pinnacle begins, it continues for ten seconds, the lights die down. Suddenly, a guitar plays, the lights strobe red. Suddenly guitars and drums kick in, signalling "Born of a Broken Man" by Rage Against The Machine, the lights become wild, flashing red. A silhouette of Jimmy Page blasts through the curtains, his controlled stagger and all. He slowly raises his head, the camera zooms in and captures his stoic expression is seen through the flashing red lights. He looks around chewing frantically on a piece of gum as he stalks his way down the ramp. His eyes glare around as he stops at the end of the ramp.

Cruz: The following contest is your second main event of the evening! And it is a Three Way Dance for the FGA World Championship! Introducing first, from Flint, Michigan! Weighing in at 230 pounds... JIMMY PAGE!

He scowls for a moment, then goes to the front of the ring. Page takes a running start and slides onto the apron, stopping in the middle. His berates the crowd with insults, pointing at everyone in the arena, telling them all off. He spits his gum out towards them, then gets inside of the ring, goes to his left, and stands on the turnbuckle, arms out, and letting out a primal shout. The fans boo him as he looks around with his usual scowl. He leaps down, slumps down onto the middle turnbuckle and sits with his right hand on his cheek, waiting for the match to begin.

Clement: Jimmy Page wants this title more than life itself. The only thing he possibly wants more than that is Dom Harter's head on a stick. But he's going to have to go through two men if he wants to leave Philly the FGA World Champion.

Grayson: Page is at a disadvantage. This match in theory is every man for himself. But both Harter and Herrera have expressed their dislike, or in Dom's case his hatred, for Page. The deck is stacked against him in this one. But who knows, maybe he overcomes it all. Maybe Herrera surprises us all and turns on Harter. I don't know...

...Spoken...

"May I remind you again, this is a dream, and in dreams, you can do anything you darn please!"

When the first bass drum thumps, Dan pulls the curtain back and walks out from behind the curtain. He gives a head nod to the fans and begins heading towards the ring as a spotlight stays on him

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

Cruz: And his opponent, now residing out of Raleigh, North Carolina! Weighing in at 215 pounds... DAN HERRERA!

As Dan makes his way to the ring he slaps hands with the fans on either side of the entrance-way. He gets to the ring and walks up the ropes. He swings around the ring post and ducks between the top and middle rope.

Clement: Dan Herrera had stated that tonight, he will prove everyone wrong. What the means remains to be seen. He's an underdog here. And many people think he's in this match to solely help Harter dispatch of Page once and for all.

Grayson: He's stated that he doesn't intend to team up with Harter in this match. But he also stated that if it happens, then so be it. I don't know what's going through Dan's head right now. And that fact could make him the most dangerous man in this match.

Once in the ring he walks over showing his taped wrists to the referee who nods at him and sends him to his corner. He grabs the ropes on either side of the turnbuckle and leans in with his head down prepping himself for the match to begin. While his back is turned, Page comes from behind and attacks him with a series of clubbing forearms to the back. The crowd boos as Page grabs Dan and tosses him through the ropes and to the outside.

Clement: Page wastes no time as he immediately goes after Dan!

Grayson: That's smart. Why wait for Dom to get out here so it can become two on one? Take out Dan now and then when Dom comes out, it's still one on one. It's a good strategy, Kevin.

As Dan tries to get up, Page rolls to the outside and knees him in the ribs. He then takes Dan and slams his head onto the apron, sending Dan stumbling around ringside. After Dan stumbles into the guard rail, Page spins him around from behind and pops him with a straight right to the jaw, knocking him down. The crowd continues to boo as Page puts the boots to Dan. He then reaches down, grabs Dan and grabs him over towards the time keeper. After searching around, Page grabs the cable wire, wraps it around Dan's next and proceeds to choke him with it.

Clement: Page is trying to choke the life out of Dan with those cable wires!

Grayson: And the best part? The match hasn't even started yet, so it's perfectly legal!

Clement: You've got to wonder where Dom is? It takes him this long to come out?

Grayson: Maybe Harter is using Dan once again?

Dan flails his arms around before reaching up to try and unwrap the wire from around his neck. But it's to no avail. Page then puts his foot on Dan's back, causing Dan's face to turn beet red. His eyes begin to close as his movements become slower and slower. Just as Page is about to choke him out, the beginning notes of “Superunknown” blare throughout the arena. Page quickly lets go and slides back into the ring.

Grayson: Here we go!

Dom Harter steps out from behind the black curtain. He stands there, stroking his beard with a devilish grin on his face, not once taking his eyes off of his opponents as he begins his slow, deliberate walk down the aisle.

Clement: His good friend, his "Bro" just got choked out by Jimmy Page. You would think there would be a sense of urgency here.

Grayson: Patience, Kevin. If Harter has proven anything, it's that he knows what he's doing. Everyone said he was just Malcolm Drake's puppet. But Harter has proven time and time again that he can be pretty calculating in his own right.

Harter ignores most of the fans in attendance, their boos not affecting him. Page can be seen waving on Harter. Harter lifts his knee up onto the apron as he grabs the middle rope. Just as Harter is about to stand up on the apron, Page runs over to attack. But Harter quickly hops down back down. While Page is distracted, Dan knocks down Page from behind.

Grayson: Like I said, Harter knows what he's doing...

The crowd cheers as Dan puts the boots to Page. He then reaches down, yanks up Page by his hair, runs into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. After turning Page around, Dan unleashes a series of shoulder thrusts that nearly knock all the air out of Page. He then takes Page by the arm and whips him hard into the opposite corner. After Page stumbles from out of the corner, Dan throws him down with a back body drop to cheers from the crowd. After arching his back in pain, Page gets up. But he turns into a lariat, knocking him down. Page gets back up, but Dan knocks him down with another lariat, knocking him back down. As Page gets up, Dan lifts him up and delivers an inverted atomic drop, sending Page stumbling backwards into the ropes. Dan then runs over and sends Page over the top rope and to the floor with a lariat to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: ... and down to the outside goes Page, who falls right at the feet of the Tenacious Little Bastard.

As Page tries to get up on all fours on the outside, Harter runs over and delivers a punt kick to the ribs, knocking Page onto his back. Harter then grabs the bottom rope as he stomps the hell out of Page. He then takes his heel and grinds it against Page's ribs, causing Page to cringe in pain. Harter then drops down, mounting himself on top of Page before hammering away with right hands to the face. After a series of punches, Harter gets off of Page and rolls him back into the ring, where he's met with another series of stomps by Dan. Once Harter rolls into the ring, the bell finally sounds.

Clement: Now we can get this thing officially underway...

The two men reach down, pick up Page and shove him into the into. Page quickly runs out and attacks Harter with wild punches. But Dan breaks it up with a forearm to the back of the head. Dan then picks up Page, runs into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. After turning Page around, Dan delivers another series of shoulder thrusts to the midsection. After he steps aside, Harter then lunges forward and delivers a series of shoulder thrusts to the midsection. After sizing up Page, Harter nails him with a forearm strike, which sends him stumbling over towards Dan. Dan grabs Page by the head and delivers a headbutt, knocking him down to one knee. As Dan goes to grab him, Page begins to nail Dan with a series of punches to the midsection. As Page tries to get up, Harter runs over and knocks him down with a knee lift. He drops down and makes the over.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Page kicks out.

Harter and Dan pick up Page and whip him him into the corner. Dan runs into the corner and connects with a lariat. After he moves out of the way, Harter runs into the corner and connects with a running double high knee to the chest, sending Page tumbling from out of the corner. Dan then goes over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Page kicks out.

Dan and Harter pick up Page. Each man grabs him from the side before delivering a double russian leg sweep. Harter makes the cover.

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

Dan and Harter pick Page back up. After they grab him, they deliver a double vertical suplex. Page sits up as he arches his back in pain. But Dan pushes him down before making the cover.

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

Clement: Herrera said that he had no intentions on double teaming Page with Dom tonight. But that's exactly what's going on in the ring.

Grayson: Well, what else is he supposed to do? The two of them have a common enemy. If I were Dom, I'd have Dan help me take out Page, only to then stab Dan in the back when he least expects it.

Dan and Harter pick up Page and whip him into the ropes. When Page comes back, they each bend over to set up a back body drop. But Page stops and kicks Harter square in the face. When Dan sees this, he stands back up. But Page quickly knocks him down with a forearm strike to the face. When Page turns around, Harter throws out a lariat. But Page ducks. When Harter turns around, he turns right into the Concussion.

Clement: Rolling Elbow! That's got to be it right here!

Grayson:

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Dan dives over and break up the pin to boos from the crowd.

Clement: Dom was this close to being eliminated!

Grayson: And this Philly crowd isn't happy that Dan just saved Dom's bacon!

Dan picks up Page, runs and tosses him over the top rope and to the floor...

But Page is able to land on his feet. He quickly grabs Dan by the ankles, yanks him down to the mat and then drags him to the outside. But once on the outside, Dan grabs Page and rams him back-first into the guard rail. After bringing Page away from the guard rail, Dan lifts him up and delivers a vertical suplex to the floor. Dan picks up Page and rolls him back into the ring. After dragging Page back out onto the apron, Dan performs a hangman choke, choking Page against the edge of the apron. The ref gives Dan until the count of five to break the hold.

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

Dan lets go, only to follow up with a kick to the side of the head. While Page is still down, Dan climbs up onto the apron. After sizing him up, Dan runs across the apron and delivers a leg drop to the back of the neck of Page. After rolling back into the ring, Dan drags Page back in before making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Page reaches up and grabs the bottom rope to boos from the crowd.

Clement: These two have absolutely taken it to Jimmy Page. I know the man is tough. But he can't take this beating for much longer.

Dan picks up Page and delivers another headbutt, sending him stumbling into the ropes. After making his way across the ring, Dan takes Page and whips him into the ropes. When Page comes back, Dan throws out a lariat. But Page ducks and runs into the ropes. When Page comes back, Dan throws him down with a belly to belly suplex. He hooks the leg.

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

Dan picks up Page and goes for an irish whip. But Page reverses, sending Dan into the corner. Page then runs into the corner. But Dan stops him with an elbow strike to the face. While Page is dazed, Dan hoists himself up onto the middle ropes. He then grabs Page and goes for a tornado DDT. But Page shoves Dan off of him in mid air. After Dan lands on his feet, Page runs from out of the corner and throws out a lariat. Dan ducks, but Harter gets knocked down by the lariat. Page then mounts himself on top of Harter, grabs him by the hair and repeatedly rams the back of his head against the canvas. But Page's offense is stopped once Dan nails him with a forearm strike to the back of the head.

Clement: Once again, Dan saves Harter... instead of letting Page work Harter over.

Grayson: I think it's say to say that Harter's got Dan firmly in his back pocket.

As Harter gets up, Dan picks up Page and holds his arms from behind. Once Hater sees this, he takes his sweet time going over to Page. He begins to taunt Page. Harter adds insult to injury with a slap across the face. Once Page turns back towards him, he responds by spitting right in Harter's face. Harter wipes the spittle from his face before nailing Page with a haymaker to the midsection, doubling him over. Harter then nails Page with another punch to the midsection... and another... and another. After delivering a headbutt, Dan grabs Page around the waist and delivers a german suplex.

Harter goes over and delivers a jumping stomp to the back of Page's head. He then reaches down, pulls Page slowly up by the hair and holds his arms from behind. After sizing him up, Dan unleashes a series of knife-edge chops that echo throughout the arena. Harter then grabs Page from the side, lifts him up and delivers a belly to back suplex. He makes the cover.

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

Clement: Page has tried to get his shots in where he can. But Dom and Dan have just been way too much for him. This has been nothing but a glorified Handicap Match!
