[FGA Office]

(A commotion can be heard off in the distance as the cameraman frantically paces throughout the backstage area.)

(Various crashes, thumps and the pained groans of a man can be heard.)

(The cameraman slows down as he comes across various debris on the ground. Once he turns the corner he stops; directly in front of him is a sight nobody has ever seen before. Down on the ground is Malcolm Drake, crawling on his elbows towards the dented trash can to try and prop himself up.)

Dom Harter: STAY DOWN!

(Dom screams before charging in and viciously punting Drake in the ribs. Another pained yelp escapes the lips of the former head crow as Harter repeatedly kicks him soccer style in the ribs. Harter reaches down and grabs the trash can, snatching it from Drake’s grip, causing him to stumble back to the floor. Harter slams the trash can down across the back of his prone foe as Drake shouts out in pain.)

Dom Harter: Bleed you son-of-a-bitch, BLEED!

(Harter runs a hand through his hair in frustration before dropping to his knees and grabbing Drake by his dirty blonde hair. A barrage of stiff right hands find their mark, peppering the side of Drake’s face as backstage personnel finally arrive. Two men grab Harter under each arm and drag him away, kicking and shouting bloody vengeance against Malcolm Drake.)

Dom Harter: GET OFF ME! LET ME AT HIM!

(There’s a safe distance between the two men, security and other various staff members blocking the path as Drake uses the nearby wall to push himself back to a vertical base; blood has begun to trickle out of a cut above his left eye as well as his nose as he stares at the irate Harter being held back. Malcolm spits out of a wad of blood and saliva onto the ground and wipes his mouth with his forearm.)

Malcolm Drake: That tickled.

(Drake winces before turning away and walking down the hallway, away from Harter.)

Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine & Joshua Black vs. Ash & Colton Sterling

"Painkiller" by Three Days Grace suddenly begins to play throughout the arena as Colton Sterling steps through from behind the curtains, looking out at the audience with a semi-serious look. Dressed in his ring gear and black and red hoodie, Colton has the hood over his head, but just enough to where it covers most of his light brown hair. As he stands at the top of the stage, he begins nodding his head and cracking his neck before beginning his descent down to the ring.

Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tampa Bay, Florida! Weighing in at 201 pounds… COLTON STERLING!

Colton slaps hands with some of the fans nearby, the smirk still plastered on his face. Once ringside, Colton takes a run towards the steps, but quickly turns towards the apron before hopping onto it. Looking out at the audience once more, Colton begins walking across the apron for a few steps before tugging on the bottom rope and hopping over, landing on his feet as he has finally made it inside of the ring. Quickly making his way over to a corner, he climbs to the middle turnbuckle before removing his hood off, nodding his head as he looks out at the fans. Sterling then begins to remove his hood off, tossing it to the outside but not at the fans, before hopping off and landing on his feet before punching at the air as he makes his way over to his designated corner before the match starts.

The arena lights dim ever so slightly and turn to a mix of pink and purple as "Make a Move" by Icon 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: His partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing in at 115 pounds... 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.

Clement: We're ready to kick this tag team underway as the tea of AshTon, Ash and Colton Sterling take on Tony Carmine and his new-found friend, the returning Joshua Black.

Grayson: Colt and Ash may have previous tag team experience. Obvious they're a couple, so they've got chemistry there. That should serve them well in this match. But Tony is a guy who, if my research is correct, has gotten the better of them either here or in HKW. And then there's Joshua Black, a main with championship pedigree. Not that HKW is anything to sneeze at. But this is a different league up here and Joshua has been able to hang with the big boys. Now, one of the big boys, Sunshine Scandalous, has got his back. Black N Scandalous, it's got a nice ring to it.

The lights flicker in the building as the chorus of "This Is The New Shit" by Marilyn Manson begins to play throughout the arena. From behind the curtain, out walks Joshua Black. Wearing his OFFICIAL FGA t-shirt (available for sale!) over his usual black and gold singlet, he smiles at the crowd as the boos rain down.

Cruz: And their opponents! Introducing first, from Phoenix, Arizona! Weighing in at 240 pounds… JOSHUA BLACK!

He takes his time walking to the ring before rolling in under the bottom rope and then jumping on the second turnbuckle in the corner to once again smile at the crowd as he raises his arms up in the air. He hops down and takes off the t-shirt as the music dies down.

Clement: Joshua Black makes his in-ring return tonight. But it was two weeks ago in Dearborn that Black returned after a two plus month hiatus. He made his intentions clear. He's going after the title that he lost, the Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship. But he's got to focus on this talented twosome across the ring from him.

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 his partner, now residing out of Boca Raton, Florida! Weighing in at 154 pounds… SUNSHINE SCANDALOUS TONY CARMINE!

Clement: Tony Carmine has made few friends with his attitude. But he's definitely made a lot of enemies. At the top of that list is none other than Riley Owens. These two got into it a while back. But that hasn't stopped the back and forth trash talk between the two.

Grayson: That's right. There's definitely some bad blood still there between the two. It's ony a matter of time until these young stars lock horns once again. But next time, Riley won't have the luxury of competing in a non-title match. Carmine already took his pride. Now, Carmine's looking to take the Pride Title.

The bell sounds as Black and Ash start things off. They lock up, but Black quickly gains the advantage with a side headlock. Ash then shoes Black off of her and into the ropes. When Black comes back, he knocks her down with a running shoulder block. He then runs into another set of ropes as Ash gets back up. When Black comes back, he knocks Ash down with another running shoulder block. Black runs into another set of ropes as Ash gets back up. When Black comes back, Ash leap frogs over him. Black continues to run into the ropes. When Black comes back, Ash drops down to the canvas. So Black hops over her and runs into the ropes. When Black comes back, Ash knocks him down with a dropkick. Black gets back up, but Ash knocks him down with another dropkick. As Black gets back up, Ash goes for another dropkick. But Black side steps and swats her down. As Ash gets back up, Black grabs her by the arm and delivers an arm wringer. But Ash then rolls, forward, leans back, kips up and delivers a headscissors takeover to cheers from the crowd. Ash makes the cover.

ONE!

Black kicks out.

Ash picks up Black and applies a side headlock of her own. But Black is able to shove her off of him and into the ropes. When Ash comes back, Black goes for a back body drop. But Ash slips down from behind. After Ash grabs him around the waist, Black runs forward. He then hooks his arms underneath the top rope and jerks back, sending Ash down to the canvas. After she rolls back up to her feet, Black runs over and throws out a clothesline. But Ash ducks and runs towards the ropes. When Black turns around, Ash knocks him down with Just A Dream to cheers from the crowd. She makes the cover.

Clement: I don't know if it's ring rust or what. But Ash has gotten the better of Black thus far.

Grayson: It's still early. The match isn't close to being over.

Ash picks up Black, wrings his arm, drags him towards the AshTon corner and tags Colton Sterling in.

The crowd cheers as Sterling gets in and greets Black with a punch to the midsection. He then grabs Black by the arm and delivers an arm wringer of his own. The ref asks Black if he wants to give up. But Black shakes his head no. He then uses his free arm to move Sterling into the ropes. Once Sterling’s pressed against the ropes, the ref gives Sterling until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Just as Sterling lets go, Black throws out a haymaker. But Sterling ducks. When Black turns around, Sterling lights him up with a series of knife-edge chops. He then takes Black and goes for an irish whip. But Black reverses, sending Sterling into the ropes. When Sterling comes back, he slides through Black’s legs. When Black turns around, Sterling gets up and throws out a kick. But Black catches his foot. While Black taunts him, Sterling goes to counter with an enzuigiri. But Black ducks. He then reaches down, pulls up Sterling by the waist and goes for a German Suplex. But Sterling is able to land on his feet. The crowd cheers over his display of athleticism. Black turns around and sees this, so he charges at Sterling and throws out a clothesline. But again Sterling ducks, sending Black into the ropes. When Black comes back, Sterling throws him down with a hip toss. Black gets back up, but Sterling brings him down with an arm drag. Black gets back up, but Sterling delivers an arm wringer and follows up with a fireman’s carry takeover. He makes the cover. Sterling makes the cover.

He then tags in Tony Carmine.

But Carmine pays him no mind as he takes Sterling, marches into the adjacent corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. After turning Sterling around, Carmine delivers a series of elbows strikes to the face. he then takes Sterling and whips him into the opposite corner. Carmine runs across the ring. But Sterling goes for a boot to the face. But Carmine puts on the brakes just in time and catches Sterling’s foot. After dragging Sterling from out of the corner, Carmine begins to taunt Sterling. But the boos turn to cheers as Sterling connects with an enzuigiri, sending Carmine flipping down to the canvas. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Carmine kicks out.

Clement: Sterling nearly knocked Carmine out of his shoes with that enzuigiri. But it only gets two.

Grayson: Sterling's another one that's got a problem with Tony Carmine. But if Sterling were smart, he'd watch what he says about Carmine. I'm sure he doesn't want to get dealt with the same way Owens did at the end of the Dearborn show.

Sterling picks up Carmine, brings him over towards the AshTon corner and tags Ash back in. After Ash slingshots herself into the ring, she kicks Carmine in the midsection before wailing on him with wild clubbing shots to the back with both arms. She then takes Carmine and goes for an irish whip. But Carmine reverses, sending Ash into the ropes. When Ash comes back, she hoists herself up onto Carmine’s shoulders and goes for a hurricanrana. But Carmine counters with a kneeling powerbomb to boos from the crowd. He makes the cover.

Clement: Another nearfall for Black...

Grayson: But how much longer will she be able to kick out? That back of hers has really started to get worked over. Powerbombs, slams, suplexes, all that starts to take its toll after awhile. She's even got to exert more energy than usual just to get her shoulder up. Ash's got to tag out quick if her and Sterling are trying to stay in this match.

Black picks up Ash and scoops her up across his shoulder. He then goes for a running powerslam. But Ash slips down and pushes Black into the ropes.

Ash picks up Carmine and goes for an irish whip. But Carmine reverses, sending Ash into the ropes. But as Ash heads into the ropes, Black pulls down the top rope, sending her tumbling hard to the floor. The crowd boos as Ash lays on the floor in pain.

Clement: Oh come on!

Grayson: What? What happened? I didn't see anything.

Ash gets her shoulder up.

Carmine sits her up and applies a rear chinlock.

Clement: Ash looked to be gaining some momentum in the match. And then Black had to pull that stunt. But I guess that's okay, right?

Grayson: If it's okay for Ash to use a steel chair, I don't see why Black can't do something as simple as pull down a rope.

The ref asks Ash if she wants to give up. But Ash refuses to quit. So Carmine jerks back with the hold, causing Ash to groan in pain.

Clement: Ash's got to fight through this. Sterling is right there. He's begging for that tag. She's just got to get to her feet and break free.

Grayson: Easier said than done.

Sterling begins slapping the top turnbuckle, trying his hardest to rally behind Ash. The crowd takes notice and does the same. They begin to stomp their feet or clap their hands in unison with Sterling. Ash then begins to feed off the crowd, shaking her fists in unison with the crowd and Sterling. As she begins to turn over and get up to her feet, Carmine shakes his head in disbelief. She then delivers four elbows to the midsection, breaking the hold. But instead of running towards the ropes, she runs over towards the corner and connects with a dropkick, sending Black to the floor. When she turns around, Carmine goes for a clothesline. But she ducks and counters with a swinging neckbreaker.

With both grapplers down, the ref starts his count.

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

Ash turns over on all fours before slowly getting back to her feet.

Ref: ………. FOUR……………… FIVE………………

Ash gets back to her feet and begins to slowly make her way across the ring. Meanwhile, Black gets back up on the apron and tags himself back in.

Grayson: Here comes Black!

As Ash makes her way across the ring, Black tries to run up from behind. But it’s too late as she dives over and tags in Sterling.

Clement: Sterling's back in!

The crowd cheers as Sterling springboards onto the top turnbuckle and knocks the oncoming Black down with a flying clothesline. Both men get back up, but Sterling knocks him down with a running Bionic Elbow. Black gets back up, but he gets knocked down with another Bionic Elbow. As Black gets back up, Sterling grabs Black and goes for an irish whip. But Black reverses, sending Sterling into the ropes. When Sterling comes back, he goes for a crossbody block. But Black catches him, hoists him up across his back and delivers a Death valley Driver. The crowd boos as he makes the cover.

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

Ash dives over and breaks up the pin.

Clement: Another timely save there by Ash!

As Ash gets up and turns to head towards the ropes, Carmine comes in from behind and tosses her through the ropes and to the floor.

Clement: Come on! What was that for? She was leaving the ring!

Grayson: I guess Tony felt she took too long...

Ash gets up on the outside, but Carmine knocks her down with a rolling suicide dive. He then gets, goes over and grabs a steel chair. The crowd boos as Tony raises the chair in the air.

Clement: Not this. Not the steel chair!

Grayson: So it's okay for Ash to use a steel chair. But it's not okay for anyone else. Hmm....

Carmine heads over to crack Ash over the head with the chair. But Ash narrowly avoids the chair shot. When Carmine turns around, the crowd cheers as Ash kicks the chair into his face.

Clement: Carmine just got ASH'D!

Back in the ring, Black throws down Sterling with a belly to belly suplex. He then pulls Sterling back up and throws him down with another belly to belly suplex. Black pulls him up and goes for a third belly to belly. But Sterling counters with a bell clap to the ears, breaking the hold. While Black is stunned, Sterling runs into the ropes and knocks him down with a rebound lariat. After Ash slides the chair into the ring, she rolls herself into the ring and sets up the chair. As Ash heads into the corner, Sterling takes Black and hangs him in a Tree of Woe in the opposite corner. Ash then runs from out of the corner, steps onto the chair, leaps off and connects with Screaming From The Sky. Sterling then picks up Black, grabs him from behind and delivers the Shining Diamond to cheers from the crowd. He makes the cover as Ash stays on the lookout.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

"Painkiller" plays as the crowd cheers.

Cruz: Here are your winners, ASH and COLTON STERLING!

The ref stands in the middle of AshTon before raising their arms to cheers from the crowd.

Clement: Ash and Colton Sterling pick up the win. Man, what a match!

Grayson: It was a good match. But let's not forget the fact that once again, Ash had to use a chair to get a win.

Clement: Tony's the one that brought it into play.

Grayson: Doesn't mean she had to use it. One of these days, the use of those chairs is going to come back and bite her....

[Cherry Baum is wandering the hallways of the Frontier Fieldhouse looking lost]

Cherry: J-K, where are you?

[Cherry keeps walking the hallways when she walks into Jimmy Page…who looks remarkably like Johnny Karma wearing a blonde wig with makeup on his face that would look like stubble. If you’ve just had six JD and Cokes, that is]

Cherry: So, errm, hi...Jimmy Page. I don’t suppose you saw where J-K went, did you?

["Page" takes a moment to look at Cherry, scowling at her before he answers]

“Page”: How the cuss should I know where the cuss he went?

Cherry: I was only asking, no need to be rude.

“Page”: I’m not being cussing rude, you’re asking me stupid cussing questions.

Cherry: I think I’d better go…

[Cherry turns to leave, but then Page coughs to get her attention]

“Page”: Before you cuss off, I want you to deliver a message to that handsome mothercusser you hang around with.

Cherry: Well…okay, but only if you ask nicely.

“Page”: Pretty please, with a cussing cherry on top, will you deliver a cussing message to that handsome mothercusser you hang around with?

Cherry: Okay, but only because you asked nicely.

“Page”: Tell him that I am not ducking a match with him for the FWA Championship, he is so cussing wrong it’s uncussingreal, the real reason he hasn’t had the match he so obviously deserves is because when my cussing name was picked out of a hat and I became FWA Champion, I had to make a choice: as champion, did I want to take the easy way or the hard way.

Cherry: So…which way did you take?

“Page”: I didn’t, I found a third cussing way: I took the Hardaway.

Cherry: The Hardaway?

“Page”: That’s cussing right, the Hardaway – an ancient tactic worthy of Sun cussing Tzu which mainly involves running the cuss away from anyone better than I cussing am who challenges me, but it’s the only way I can keep this cussing title around my cussing waist.

Cherry: I see. Well, I’d best be going, because I still need to find J-K before our…I mean your match.

“Page”: Whatcussingever.

[Cherry walks out of shot, as “Page” looks off in another direction…and a few moment later he removes the wig and walks after Cherry]

Karma: This makeup comes off, right?

Cherry: Sure, I’ll let you borrow some of my remover. Oh, you did remember to turn off the camera before taking off the wig, didn’t you?

Karma: …yes?

[Karma quickly grabs the camera and switches it off, as we cut to ringside]

[FGA Office]

Jimmy Page vs. Johnny Karma

[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 to greet his adoring public, coming to a stop on top of the ramp 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 waves to the luckiest fans of all, those at ringside as he performs, before bounding up the ring steps and stepping through the gap Cherry has created for him into the ring]

Clement: Tonight, Johnny Karma has the chance to exact some revenge if you will. It was last year at Final Frontier that Jimmy Page defeated Karma for the Pride Championship. But if you let Karma tell it, Page stole the belt from him.

[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 man who should be challenger...weighing in at a tough, buff and has the right stuff 233lbs, he hails from Queens, NYC - he is here to show you the boat that FWA keeps missing, he is JOHNNY KARMA!

[Cherry steps aside and gives a round of applause as Johnny K strolls to the centre of the ring, before Cherry hands him the microphone]

Johnny Karma: Ladies and...

[Karma removes his sunglasses, tosses his hair aside, and milks the moment for all its worth]

Johnny Karma: ...ladies.

[Karma takes a moment to fix his hair once again]

Johnny Karma: If it hasn't escaped your attention, the reigning FWA Champion has no problem accepting a match with me, so that begs the simple question: Kevin Hardaway, why are you being such a putz by not accepting my offer of a match?

[Karma looks to Cherry, who shrugs, then looks to Page, who doesn't care one way or the other]

Johnny Karma: But that's enough about Hardaway for now, because when that bell rings, the best that FWA has to offer...will be facing Jimmy Page, who is thankful that this is a non-title match, because if it were he should probably think of kissing the belt goodbye right about now.

[Karma looks over to Page and winks]

Johnny Karma: So with that in mind...Mr Timekeeper, do your thing.

[Karma hands the mic to Cherry before performing a quick shadow boxing flurry]

Grayson: Johnny Karma really needs to consider dropping this whole thing with Kevin Hardaway I can definitely see this blowing up in his face. I really can.

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... defeated expression. Instead of his normal attire, Page slwoly staggers to the ring in nothing but his pants suit, loafers and the World Championship belt we saw him in earlier. Page is completely zoned out as he circles the ringside area.

Clement: I don't think I've ever seen Jimmy Page like this. The man looks... lost.

Grayson: The man is clearly heartbroken. That man really went above and beyond to change for Cordy Stevenson. What did she do? She humiliated him in front of all these people.

Cruz: And his opponent, from Flint, Michigan! Weighing in at 230 pounds! He is the reigning FGA World Champion, JIMMY PAGE!

The bell sounds as Page delivers a double leg pick up and rams Karma into the corner. He proceeds to unleashes a series of shoulder thrusts, followed by a series of knee strikes. Page follows up with a series of elbow strikes, followed by a series of forearm strike. Page then takes Karma and whips him across the ring. Karma “Flair Flips” over the corner and lands on the apron. As Karma stumbles across the apron, Page runs over and connects with a big boot, knocking Karma off the apron and against the barricade.

Clement: Karma just crashed against the barricade. I've never seen Jimmy Page like this!

Grayson: Page straight up mauled Karma to start off this match. And it doesn't look like he's done yet...

Page rolls to the outside and puts the boots to Karma. He reaches down, picks up Karma and repeatedly rams him back-first against the barricade. He then hoists Karma up into a bearhug position and then rams him back-first against the ring post. As Page lets go, Karma slumps down against the ring post. After walking away from Karma, Page stares out with a rough and distant expression. He then snaps back, turns around and connects with a running knee facewash.

Clement: Good God! That knee to the face!

Grayson: Karma's really getting roughed up here...

Page picks up Karma and rolls him back into the ring. After rolling himself back in, he makes the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Karma gets his foot on the bottom rope.

Page picks up Karma, heads into the corner and repeatedly slams his head against the top turnbuckle. After turning Karma around, Page steps back and chokes him with his foot. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.

But Karma fire’s back with a knife-edge chop. Page then throws out another forearm strike. But Karma responds with a knife-edge chop… and another… and another. Just as Karma is about to fire away with a right hand, Page stops him with a double chop to the throat. He then takes Karma and whips him into the opposite corner. Page runs across the ring. But Karma nails him with an elbow to the face. As Page stumbles back, Karma moves out of the way and then bounces into the ropes. When Karma comes back, Page throws out another big boot.

TWO!

Page kicks out.

Clement: Karma's now starting to fight back after it looked to be all but over for him.

Grayson: It really did. But Karma's a fighter. He's a hell of a technical wrestler. But he won't go down without a fight.

Karma picks up Page and delivers a series of knife-edge chops that echo throughout the arena. He then takes Page and goes for an irish whip. But Page reverses, sending Karma into the ropes. But instead of bouncing back, Karma hangs onto the ropes. When Page runs over to attack, Karma ducks and dumps Page over the top rope and to the floor. As the champ slowly gets up on the outside, Karma runs into the ropes. When Page finally stands up and turns around, Karma goes for This Is For The Front Row. But Page counters with a perfectly timed Aneurysm, knocking Karma back into the ring. He quickly rolls back in and makes the cover.

ONE!
.

TWO!

TH-NO!

Karma gets his shoulder up.

Clement: Great counter there by Page, who looked like he was about to be blindsided with that dive from Karma.

Grayson: Instincts and ring awareness like that are just a few of the reasons why he's the champion.

Page picks up Karma, wrings his arm and then yanks him over into a knee to the midsection. While Karma is doubled over, Page knocks him down with an elbow to the back of the head.

Grayson: Karma hasn't forgotten Final Frontier. He hasn't forgotten about the night that Page took the Pride Title from him in his home state. This is a chance to exact a little revenge for Karma.

Karma picks up Page, brings him over towards the ropes and delivers a slingshot suplex. But instead of going for the cover, Karma gets up and heads into the ropes. When he comes back, he connects with a jumping knee drop. Karma makes the cover.

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

Karma picks up Page and goes for a vertical suplex. But Page blocks it. After tightening his grip, Karma goes for another vertical suplex but again, Page blocks it. After three punches to the midsection, Page goes for a vertical suplex of his own. But Karma slips down from behind and applies the Cobra Clutch.

Clement: Page's trapped in the Camel Clutch!

Page swings his free arm wildly, trying his best to grab onto anything he can. But he’s nowhere near the ropes. Karma cinches in the hold.

Grayson: Page's got to find a away out of this or else it's going to be lights out...

The ref asks Page if he wants to give up. But Page refuses to quit. After taking a series of staggering steps towards the corner, Page walks up to the top turnbuckle, pushes back and floats over on top of Karma, reversing the Cobra Clutch into a pin.

ONE!

ONE!

Karma gets his shoulder up.

Page picks up Karma and whips him into the ropes. When Karma comes back, Page delivers a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He then reaches down, yanks up Karma, scoops him up from the side and delivers a pendulum backbreaker. While Karma arches his back on the canvas in pain, Page marches into the corner and frantically unties the middle turnbuckle pad. The ref warns him not to do it. But as soon as Page raises his forearm to the ref, the ref steps back. Page then pulls off the middle turnbuckle pad, exposing the steel turnbuckle underneath.

Clement: That isn't good, Evan!

Page heads back over towards Karma. As Page picks up Karma, Karma surprises him with a series of right hands to the face. He then runs into the ropes. When Karma comes back, Page goes for Sole Destruction. But Karma catches his foot, counters with an inverted atomic drop and then follows up with the Bum Trip. He makes the cover.

As Karma slowly gets up on one knee, Page darts out of the corner and goes for Trauma Symphony. But Karma rolls out of the way.

Clement: Hardaway just did a number on Karma on the outside!

Grayson: I told you that Karma calling out Hardaway wasn't a good idea. Now we see why.

After slowly turning over, Karma gets up on one knee and sneers at Hardaway. While Karma is fixated on Hardaway, Page comes from out of nowhere and nails him in the back of the head with the Trauma Symphony, knocking Karma face-first into the exposed turnbuckle.

The ref calls for his championship belt. After the ref hands him the FGA World Championship, Page snatches it from him.

Clement: Jimmy Page picks up the win. But not without an assist from The Voice of The Violence!

Grayson: Johnny Karma should have left well enough alone. You saw what K-Hard did to Chris Bond and many others. Why in the world would you want to get on that man's bad side?

Saturday, November 22

Jersey City Armory

Jersey City, NJ

[FGA Office]

(Chandler Scott can be seen backstage talking amongst the backstage personnel. The audio cuts in during the middle of his conversation with them.)

Chandler: Why would he think that someone like her would want to be with someone like him. What a loser, right?

(Chandler and the crew share a laugh at someone's expense. Presumably, Jimmy Page. Just then, Spencer Burke makes his way into the picture.)

Burke: Chandler, I don't mean to interrupt, but...

(Chandler quickly stops Burke by putting his palm up to his face.)

Chandler: Didn't I tell you to meet me back here 20 minutes ago? What's wrong with you, man? I've got places to go, people to see and kisses to receive. Speaking of which... aye my man.

(Chandler motions towards one of the lighting guys.)

Chandler: Why don't you run along and find Hadley for me. I'm sure she's around here somewhere. Oh, and while you're at it, find Dan Herrera, too. I want him to see this. I feel like pissing him off more than I already have...

(Chandler turns back to Burke and looks him up and down.)

Chandler: Oh I'm sorry. You were saying?

(Chandler begins to snicker as Burke just lets out a slow, annoyed sigh.)

Burke: I wanted to speak to you about Jared James. Jared James on two separate occasions as offered to fight you right then and there. But you've ran away both times. Word going around the back is that your scared of the Iowa native.

(Chandler places his hand on his chest. He can't believe the words that are coming out of Burke's mouth.)

Chandler: Me? Scared? Of Jared James? PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT! I'm not afraid of anyone. ESPECIALLY Jared James. In fact, I've already fought him.

Burke: Yes, we're all aware of your previous matches with him...

Chandler: No, no, no. I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about recently. As in last Wednesday.

Burke: Really? You fought Jared James last Wednesday? I don't recall seeing this.

Chandler: Of course you didn't see it. Jared James mailed me a plane ticket to Des Moiens, Iowa. Not only did the cheap prick stick me in coach, but he had the nerve to give me a middle seat. But I digress. Anyhow. I took a flight out to Des Moines, met him right outside of his house in Boreville, USA. And I proceeded to beat the brakes off him! Then his little mascot Dextor Wolfe came strolling out the front door because he wanted a piece of me, too. Guess what happened? BAM, Harvard Hammer to the face and he was out like a light. Then his little brother, Jay James... Jeremy James... whatever his name is. Not like it matters. Then he came strolling out of the house because apparently he wanted to act like a man for the first time in his life. Guess what hammed? BAM, hard right to the chin knocked him smooth the hell out. Then their old man, Papa James, can waddling down those front steps. He balled up his newspaper and pointed at me, as if that was supposed to intimidate me. Guess what happened? BAM! A punch to the gut sent him to the ground. And the only reason that Mama James didn't get her clocked cleaned is because I don't hit women that aren't wrestlers. So I ask you, Spencer Burke, how exactly am I afraid of Jared James when I beat the hell out of him and his damn family on their front yard?

Burke: ........ you honestly don't expect me to believe this, do you?

Chandler: Are you calling me a liar?

Burke: ... no...

Chandler: Do I look like a liar?

Burke: ... no...

Chandler: Do I sound like a liar?

Burke: ... no...

Chandler: So where in the hell do you get off insinuating that I'm a liar? HMM? Now I know that you're a professional journalist. So if you want to go and have my story vetted then by all means, go right ahead. The only thing you'll find is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The truth is that I'm not afraid of Jared James. If anything, Jared should be afraid of me. Especially after what I did to him right outside his own home. If Jared is listening, then I want him to listen up and listen good.

Jared, I'm going to give you some advice. Keep my name out of your mouth. Keep your nose out of my business. The more you keep drumming up this "Chandler is afraid of me" nonsense, the more I'm starting to get pissed off. Keep running your mouth about me, Jared and I might just have to shut it for good...

(With that, Chandler shoots Burke a stern look before walking off.)

[FGA Office]

MAIN EVENT
The Black Hand vs. Dan Herrera & Jared James

The heavy intro to "I.M.Sin" by Five Finger Death Punch begins to roar over the arena's PA system as the lights dim. Smoke begins to fill the stages as a bright light shines from the entrance way outward. Tommy Knox slowly walks out from the back with his arms out to his side. Following behind, Chris Madison walks out with both of his fist clenched and held out in front of him. At first the two appear as only silhouettes with the bright beam of light behind them. The two stop in the center of the ramp and look over the arena as the music continues to play.

Cruz: The following contest is your main event of the evening and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at a total combined weight of 455 pounds! They are the team of Chris “Mayhem” Madison and “The American Highlife” Tommy Knox, THE BLACK HAND!

The two then look at each other and nod before stepping forward and marching down to the ring with cockiness, avoiding the outstretched hands of the fans at all cost. As they approach the ring, Madison walks to the steps and ascends. He opens his fists and slaps himself with both hands before entering the ring under the top rope. Knox rolls under the bottom rope and quickly pops up to his feet. The two then walk to opposite corners and climb up. They look over the crowd and raise their arms in the air before hopping down and walking to their corner as the music slowly begins to fade.

Clement: These two men don't know where the line is, do they? First, they attack sweet, innocent Annie Zellor backstage. Then, they attack Chaz Holiday. If they wanted a shot at the title, all they had to do was ask. They're going to get their title shot regardless. But now, they've incurred the wrath of Laurel Anne Hardy.

Grayson: Chris Madison and Tommy Knox are big boys. They've been around the block. Laurel's tough as nails, there's no doubt about that. But if you think those two are going to be phased by her and her #grrface buddy, then you've got another thing coming.

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

Cruz: And their opponents! Introducing first, 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 and Dan Herrera have put the past behind them. There was a time when these two respected each other, but didn't exactly like each other. Now, they're united with the common goal of defeating The Black Hand.

Grayson: Well good for them. They're going to have to be on the same page if they want to beat a team like The Black Hand.

...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 partner, 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. 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.)

Clement: Dan Herrera comes into this match with a purpose. And that's to exact some revenge for his friend Annie Zellor.

Grayson: I see Dan Herrera wants to swoop in and play hero. Well, we saw how well that worked two weeks ago in Columbus against Chandler Scott. He may not fair much better here tonight.

The bell sounds as James and Knox start things off. After circling the ring, they lock up. After jockeying for position, Knox places James in a side headlock. But James is able to shove Knox off of him and into the ropes. When Knox comes back, he knocks down James with a running shoulder block.

After James rolls out of the way, he gets back up to his feet and circles the ring. The two men then inch towards each other and lock up. This time, James gains the advantage with a side headlock. But Knox shoves James off of him and into the ropes. When James comes back, Knox lifts him up and delivers a military press slam. The crowd boos as Knox begins to mock James.

Both men circle the ring before locking up. After jockeying for position, Knox moves James into the corner. The ref then gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both men make a clean break. But Knox quickly pushes Jared in the face, resulting in boos from the crowd. But the boos quickly turn back to cheers as James answers back by shoving Knox. But Knox just smirks as he brushes off his chest. James then makes his way out of the corner and locks up with him. After jockeying for position, Knox moves him over into The Black Hand corner. The ref gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both en make a clean break. But just then, Madison grabs Jared and holds back his arms from behind.

Grayson: Madison's wise to get out of the corner.

Clement: Either that or he wants to no parts of Dan Herrera.

After Herrera and Madison size each other up, the two men circle the ring before locking up. After jockeying for position, Herrera shoves Madison, sending him stumbling back towards the ropes. Madison flares his nostrils before marching back over towards Herrera. After the two lock up, the crowd cheers as Herrera shoves him down to the canvas. Madison then rolls over onto one knee and slaps the canvas out of frustration.

Clement: Madison appears to be no match for Herrera in the strength department.

Grayson: It's okay. It's just time for a different approach. It's not the end of the world.

The two men continue to circle the ring. They then inch forward towards each other before locking up. After jockeying for position, Madison ducks under and applies a waist lock from behind. After cinching in the hold, he hoists up Herrera and throws him down with a waist lock takeover. After Herrera gets up on all fours, Madison transitions into a front facelock. After bringing Herrera back up to his feet, he quickly transitions into a Muay Thai clinch. The crowd begins to boo as Madison connects with knee strikes to the head. The last knee strike, a jumping one, sends Herrera stumbling into the ropes. Madison then goes over, tags in Knox and whips Herrera into the opposite set of ropes.

After the main event ends, the show seems like it’s coming to a close. However, someone comes bursting through the curtains. The crowd looks at the ramp where Jimmy Page is covered in sweat, his eyes dormant as he drags someone along with him. People look on in horror to see it resemble….Cyncity.

Clement: Uh, folks we don’t see anything that shows a third appearance from our world champion. It looks like he’s...is that somebody…? What--

Grayson: Oooh this is not good…

Clement: It kind of looks like he’s--Oh my GOD he has Cyncity!! What the Hell did he do to her?!

Grayson: Are those handcuffs?! This is getting really bad.

Jimmy drags her along by her hair as she’s unconscious. Page throws her into the ring and walks towards the timekeeper.

Jimmy Page: Give me a chair...give me a fucking--

He shoves the timekeeper out of the seat and takes it. He walks over to Manny Cruz and snatches the microphone from his grasp and slithers into the ring. Page keeps the chair in hand as Cyn can be seen trying to sit up on her own. Page paces back and forth behind her in a frantic and violent stride.

Jimmy Page: I gave you everything, did you know that? I pour my heart and soul into trying to impress you, and you mock me…?! EVERYTHING CORDELIA, EVERYTHING I DID WAS FOR YOUR AFFECTION!!! And these pieces of shit here in the crowd, and the pieces of shit like this one right in front of me plant these little seeds of disdain, they make you hate me, they make you loathe me, IT’S ALL THEIR FAULT!!!!

Page looks on as the crowd boos him, he scowls, clawing at the top of his skull. He begins to smile and forces a laugh from his lips as he looks down at Cyn.

Jimmy Page: If I want your love Cordelia, I’m going to have to cut out the cancer that keeps us apart. That means I’ll personally destroy all that stands in our way to absolute paradise. I do this because I love you...I do this because I care. BUT NO ONE WILL GET IN THE WAY OF MY HAPPINESS!!!! NO ONE--

Page tosses the microphone, but his shouts over the crowd’s hateful jeers and boos can be heard as plain as day.

Jimmy Page: I COULD’VE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING!!! LOVE, SECURITY, PEACE!!! GODDAMN IT CORDY--

Jimmy raises the chair to Cyn, but someone comes rushing out. Cordelia, with a look of absolute fear in her eyes, comes down the ramp with a microphone in hand. Page grabs Cyn by her hair, pointing the chair at Cordy in a warning pose.

Jimmy Page: STAY BACK, stay back Cordy...STAY BACK!!!!

Cordelia halts in her tracks, and holds a hand up pleadingly.

Cordelia Stevenson: Jimmy… please. Don’t do this. You don’t have to do this. Ok? Let Cindy go. She has nothing to do with this Jimmy. PLEASE.

Cordelia eyes her friend, battered and in such a precarious position and fights to maintain her composure. So many emotions run through her, but the overwhelming one at the moment is fear.

Cordelia Stevenson: Let. Her. Go. Please, Jimmy. I’m begging you.

Jimmy Page: SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME!!! SAY IT RIGHT NOW!!! TELL EVERYONE THAT YOU LOVE ME RIGHT NOW!!!!

Page pulls Cyn’s hair, his eyes wild with anger, showing that twisted side of himself to the one he claimed he “loved”. Page snatches his hand away and looks as if he was going to raise that chair and blast Cyn’s skull with it.

Jimmy Page: I SWEAR TO GOD--

Cordelia Stevenson: WAIT!!! Jimmy… baby.

Cordelia begins to make her way towards the ring, her eyes glossed with tears threatening to fall.

Cordelia Stevenson: You really don’t have to do this. I… I… I understand.

She adds softly, nodding her head sympathetically. The only thought in her mind is to make it to the ring and save her friend.

Cordelia Stevenson: I didn’t believe you before. I thought that you were just playing games, just trying to get into my head. B-B-But, you’ve shown me that I was wrong Jimmy. You weren’t looking for a way to get into my head… but my heart.

She inches closer to the ring, noticing that Jimmy has begun to lower the chair.

Cordelia Stevenson: And I appreciate that. All the effort you’ve put in… now that I understand that it’s truly come from the heart, I appreciate it baby. Seriously, I do. Just please let Cindy go. It’s all I ask of you. And then, we can talk. Just you and I. Please.

Page’s eyes turn from that wild violent gleam, into a soft, hurt glare.

Jimmy Page: Just say it. Just once, I don’t want to do this, just...Cordy, just say it. Just. Say. It.

His voice sounded like he was pleading. His thoughts were racing, his heart pounding, and his choices limited. Page lowers the chair more, looking into Cordy’s eyes. Page steps from behind Cyn, and leans against the ropes looking on at Cordelia. The crowd takes a sigh of relief as Page holds his hand out towards her.

Jimmy Page: Say that you love me, Cordelia...I don’t want to do this I--

He begins to tear him.

Cordelia Stevenson: Will you let her go if I do?

Cordy glared up at him, hoping the question would keep him talking. She was nearly there. Almost within close enough proximity to make an attempt at a save if she could not talk him down. Charging the ring wasn’t really an option yet. He would deliver the deathblow to Cindy as soon as she hit full sprint.

Cordelia Stevenson: Promise me you’ll let her go if I do, Jimmy.

Page’s expression turns cold. There were no negotiations in terms of love. Jimmy began to realize what she was trying to do. Deep down he knew what he had to do. He pulls away his hand and leans against the ropes more. This was her last chance.

Jimmy Page: Say. It.

Cordelia saw the ice in his glare, and she knew that her window of opportunity was fading. If she didn’t act quickly, more harm would befall her friend because of her, and Cordelia did not want that resting on her conscience. She was fast, but she knew she’d never make it in time to stop him from crashing that chair down onto Cindy’s skull. She was still too far away. Feeling defeated, she made her final play.

Cordelia Stevenson: Jimmy… I… love you. Ok? Now can you please let her go?

The crowd didn’t know what the Hell to think, they were in a frenzy of disbelief. Page closes his eyes, and looks at Cordelia, smiling faintly.

Jimmy Page: Thank you.

Cindy was conscious, crawling on her knees towards her beloved friend. Cordelia relaxed, a sigh escaped her lips, seeming as if she had held her breath the entire time this happened. Jimmy turned his back looking to put the chair away. Cordelia looks to get in the ring to save her friend….


SMASH!!!!


Page turns around and smacks the steel chair into the back of Cindy’s head. The female’s body goes limp as she falls face first. Cordelia’s eyes widen as she shouts Cindy’s name as Page makes haste to escape. He slides out of the ring as Cordelia crawls into the ring and cradles her fallen friend in her chest, tears pouring down her face as she sobs the name of her damaged best friend. Cordelia strokes Cindy’s face, in shock of what transpired, and frantically begins calling for help for her friend.

The crowd lets out a groan in surprise as Page heads up the ramp. Officials come rushing from the back. Page turns around, facing the woman he “loved”. Cordelia’s eyes meet his, narrowed, her look finding a thousand ways to kill the man who did this to her. Jimmy has his hands on top of his head, clawing through his messy hair. He began to cry, sobbing even. Suddenly, his anger turns back to Cordy, pointing at her, as if she were the one who pulled the trigger herself.

Jimmy Page: IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!! THAT’S ALL I EVER WANTED!!! YOU MADE ME DO THIS!!! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?!?

Page’s eyes turn back to that psychotic hue.

Jimmy Page: WHY CORDELIA?! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO IT?!

Officials work to get the handcuffs off of the now unconscious Cyncity. Cordelia stays near her friend, shooting glares at Page as he continues to head up the ramp. Even he was in shock at what he just did.

Grayson: Sweet Jesus.

Clement: I--I can’t just...please end this.

Page disappears, and the officials, along with EMTs try and place Cindy on a stretcher. The show ends in a horrific act of “love” by the hands of Jimmy Page. A shot of Cordy is seen, tears continuing to rain from her eyes. She looks lost, not knowing what to do.
