Kris Cruise: Hello and welcome to another Frontier Grappling Arts presentation! Tonight, we celebrate and showcase some of the rising stars of this industry as we present to you Frontier To The Future! We are here tonight from the Monroe Sports Center in Monroe, New Jersey! I'm Kris Cruise and joining me is my partner in crime, Stephy Auger and Steph, tonight is a big opportunity for a lot of the grapplers on this card.

Stephanie Auger: It sure is! For some of these guys and gals, this is the biggest stage they've ever performed on. FGA is giving everyone on this card a chance to get their names out there to a wider audience and potentially raise their stock. While a win would be great, just a strong showing in general could create a ton of interest for the grapplers involved.

Kris Cruise: Indeed. Especially when you consider that two places that were associated with this event - both Innovative Independent Wrestling and the Knoxville Wrestling Institute - are now closed!

Stephanie Auger: It's unfortunate to see the closure of two companies that looked to be pretty sturdy. With iiW, you had some of the biggest names in wrestling wrestling over there in the Southwest. And then you had KWI, which was arguably one of the leading training centers in all the U.S. But as they say, when one door closes, another opens. I know I've spotted some well-known scouts and agents scattered throughout the crowd. I'm sure they'll be taking a keen interest in the happenings inside the ring.

Kris Cruise: Now to transition to some happenings outside the ring, Kevin Clement, Evan Grayson and Manny Cruz are obviously not with us tonight, hence why Stephy and I will be calling this show. At the end of Capital Combat some two weeks ago, the debuting group of the Infinite Empire - Dante Anglais, Tomoko Hanahara and RJ Palmer - made a huge splash after weeks of teaser videos. Obviously everyone has seen or heard that they lit part of the ring on fire. But something that seems lost in all of this were their attacks on Clement, Grayson and Cruz. All three are still recovering from their injuries and we wish all three a speedy recover.

Stephanie Auger: Get well, guys. We miss you and hopefully we do a good enough job in your absence. But going back to the Infinite Empire for just a bit... I don't think we've seen the worst when it comes to them.

Kris Cruise: Really!?

Stephanie Auger: Unfortunately. To me, this group signifies a huge threat to everyone here in FGA. But it seems like all the grapplers here and too wrapped up in their own drama to see the bigger picture. I just hope that everyone realizes how dangerous the Infinite Empire is before it's too late. What happened at Capital Combat could happen to anyone in the back. It could even happen to us.

Kris Cruise: Well I certainly hope that isn't the case. I haven't seen or heard anything regarding the Infinite Empire being here so I think we're safe. But I don't know going forward. I think you're right, though. FGA needs to get it together and target the bigger threat at hand.

Stephanie Auger: Definitely.

Kris Cruise: Let's not damper things too much. We've got a show to call and in our opening contest, it's going to be La'Renzo Porter - aka Flipp - from 4 Corners Wrestling taking on Jake Wylde, who is making his debut in the United States. No pressure, Jake.

Stephanie Auger: Yeah, I'm sure Jake feels zero pressure at all. This is a huge opportunity for both men. Especially Jake. Jake wants to spread his "infection" to the U.S. and expose us for being the corrupt and hypocritical nation that he views us as. But Flipp may just have the cure for this "infection" of his. Both of these men are still in the early stages of their career. But Flipp has the slight edge in experience. He's also got a noticeable height advantage. Those are two things that could help lead Flipp to victory tonight.

Kris Cruise: Well without further adieu, let's send it to the ring where J.A. Aldridge is ready to give the ring introducing for our opening contest...

Flipp Porter vs. Jake Wylde

"Believe Me" by Ace Hood begins playing causing a stir of cheers as Flipp Porter steps out onto the stage dressed in tie dye knee length trunks and custom made blue and grey dc wrestling kicks. He taps his chest a few times before smiling and making his way down the ramp before stepping inside the ring.

J.A. Aldridge: The following is your opening contest for Frontier To The Future! It is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from St. Matthews, South Carolina! Weighing in at 215 pounds… La’RENZO “FLIPP” PORTER!

He jumps up and down, getting the crowd hype before he crosses his chest and points up to the rafters. He runs up a turnbuckle before doing a backflip of off it hyping himself up for the action tonight. Taking his bandanna from around his hair and throwing it into the crowd.

“Even Flow” by Pearl Jam hits, and the crowd begins to boo instantly. Jake Wylde makes his way from the back pushing the curtains aside, taking a drink from his water bottle and dumping some on his head. He runs his hands through his hair and over his face, looking at the fans with a look of disgust.

Aldridge: And his opponent, now residing out of Lockport, New York! Weighing in at 202 pounds! He is “The Infection” JAKE WYLDE!

He mocks some, keeping his distance from them before sliding onto the apron. He sits there, back to the ropes looking at the fans on both sides of the ring, shaking his head. He hops up, and climbs into the ring getting ready for battle.

The bell sounds as Wylde and Flipp head to the center of the ring and lock up. After jockeying for position, Flipp uses his height and strength advantage to move Wylde across the ring. After Flipp presses Wylde into the corner, the ref gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both men appear to make a slow, clean break. That is until Wylde sucker punches Flipp, causing the crowd to boo and causing Flipp to stumble back.

Kris Cruise: Wylde isn't wasting any time getting dirty tonight.

Stephanie Auger: Flipp left himself open and Wylde took advantage. It still doesn't make it right, though.

Wylde comes from out of the corner and connects with another right hand… and another. After a kick to the midsection, Wylde takes Flipp by the arm and whips him into the ropes. When Flipp comes back, Wylde leans over to set up a back body drop. But Flipp stops, holds Wylde in position and calls for a powerbomb, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

Stephanie Auger: Uh oh. We could see this match end before it really gets going...

Flipp then hoists Wylde up in the air. But Wylde is able to counter the powerbomb with a hurricanrana. As Flipp gets back up, Wylde runs full steam ahead at him. But Flipp dips his shoulder and counters by dumping him over the top rope…

Kris Cruise: There goes Wylde!

… Wylde is able to land safely on the apron. But a roundhouse kick from Flipp knocks Wylde off the apron and to the floor.

Kris Cruise: A hard kick to the head sends Jake Wylde to the floor.

Stephanie Auger: But I don't think Flipp is done just yet...

As Wylde pushes himself up off the canvas, he tries to shake out the cobwebs. But when he turns around, Flipp heads into the corner, springboards to the top turnbuckle and connects with a moonsault to the outside, causing the fans in the front row to jump up while the crowd as a whole cheers.

Kris Cruise: Flipp takes it to the air and connects with the moonsault!

Stephanie Auger: Flipp knows how big of an opportunity this is for him. He's going to leave it all out there in this one!

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

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Wylde kicks out.

Flipp picks up Wylde, brings him into the corner and delivers three kicks to the chin. While Wylde appears dazed, Flipp takes him by the arm and whips him into the opposite corner. Flipp then runs across the ring. But Wylde greets him with a boot to the face. As Flipp stumbles back, Wylde comes from out of the corner. But Flipp side steps the oncoming attack, scoops up Wylde and delivers a sidewalk slam. He hooks the leg.

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

As Flipp gets up and then goes to slowly pull up Wylde, Wylde nails Flipp with a shoulder to the midsection. He follows up with a bite to the nose, sending Flipp stumbling into the ropes to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Wylde again showing us just how dirty he can get. This time, with a bite to the face.

Stephanie Auger: Both of these men have been known to brawl. But at least Flipp has kept it clean. Meanwhile Wylde has resorted to dirty tactics to gain the edge in this match.

Wylde goes over, grabs Flipp and whips him into the ropes. When Flipp comes back, Wylde knocks him down with a dropkick. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Flipp kicks out.

Wylde picks up Flipp, marches into the corner and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. After turning Flipp around, Wylde sends him slumping down in the corner with a barrage of forearm strikes, causing the crowd to boo. But Wylde isn’t done yet. After stepping back, he continues his assault with a series of knee strikes to the face. After reaching down and grabbing Flipp by the hair, Wylde pulls him back to his feet, brings him from out of the corner and plants him with a DDT. He makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: Wylde with another nearfall. Wylde looks to be gaining more and more control of this match. Flipp is going to have to do something to get back in this.

As Wylde goes to pick up Flipp, Flipp begins to fight back with a series of right hands to the midsection. But Wylde stops the attack with a knee to the midsection, followed by a clubbing shot to the back of the neck, knocking him down. Wylde then hits a jumping leg drop before turning Flipp over and making the cover.

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

As Wylde picks up Flipp, Flipp again nails Wylde with a series of right hands to the midsection. But just like last time, Wylde cuts him off with a knee strike to the midsection. While Flipp is doubled over, Wylde runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he leaps up and goes for a jumping curb stomp. But Flipp moves out of the way, grabs Wylde from behind and goes for a belly to back suplex. But Wylde rolls over his shoulder, lands on his feet and shoves Flipp into the ropes. When Flipp comes back, Wylde goes for a running clothesline. But Flipp ducks, sending Wylde into the ropes. When Wylde comes back, Flipp blasts him with a Ranhei to cheers from the crowd.

Stephanie Auger: Wylde just got nailed right in the face with that spinning kick from Flipp! He could be out of it...

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Wylde gets his shoulder up as the crowd sighs.

Flipp picks up Wylde and whips him into the ropes. When Wylde comes back, Flipp throws him down with a belly to belly suplex. With Wylde down, Flipp gets back to his feet and points to the top turnbuckle. Once the crowd cheers, Flipp heads to the outside.

Stephanie Auger: Flipp is going back to the top!

Kris Cruise: We saw him hit that moonsault to the outside before. What could he be going for here?

As Flipp climbs the turnbuckles, Wylde gets up, runs across the ring, jumps in the air and connects with a drive-by kick that echoes throughout the arena.

Stephanie Auger: Did you hear that kick!?

Kris Cruise: How could I not!? Flipp looked to be heading to the top turnbuckle. But he took a bit too long and Wylde made him pay.

While Flipp is dazed, Wylde climbs to the middle ropes. He then grabs a hold of Flipp and goes for a superplex. But Flipp blocks the move. After tightening his grip, Wylde goes for another superplex. But again, Flipp blocks. After a few punches to the midsection, Flipp breaks free of Wylde’s clutches and connects with a forearm strike, sending Wylde falling back-first to the canvas.

Stephanie Auger: Flipp got Wylde down!

With Wylde down, Flipp ascends to the top turnbuckle. He then dives off, going for a flipping frog splash. But Wylde gets his knees up, causing Flipp to crash down across them.

Kris Cruise: Wylde got his knees up!

Stephanie Auger: Flipp looks to be hurt here, Kris. He may have broken a rib or two after that one.

The crowd boos as Flipp rolls from side to side, clutching his ribs in pain. As Flipp slowly gets up, Wylde knocks him back down with a superkick to the back of the head. Wylde then reaches down, peels Flipp from off the canvas and delivers The Infection to boos from the crowd. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

“Even Flow” plays over the PA as the crowd boos.

Here is your winner, JAKE WYLDE!

Wylde gets his arm raised to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Jake Wylde earns his first-ever victory on U.S. soil with this win over Flipp Porter.

Stephanie Auger: He didn't keep things on the up and up. Wylde definitely fought dirty several times out there. But, he did what he set out to do and that was get the win.

(We open up backstage to see "The Premier Attraction" Sebastian Stone, one of Frontier Grappling Arts newest signees walking around, he can be seen wearing a custom navy blue blazer jacket which can be seen having the initials S.S. in gold old English lettering on the front right side pocket of it. A white dress shirt and match navy blue tie can be seen underneath it. He also can be seen wearing navy blue dress pants with black dress shoes.

Stone can be seen going up to various individuals who can be seen present backstage walking or even dinning in the dinner section for the wrestlers and Frontier staff. Stone waste no time in introducing himself to one of the staff members in the backstage area.)

Sebastian Stone: Name is Sebastian Stone and this here along side me is my personal agent Harland Watts, I'm the son of Hollywood royalty Warren and Genevieve Stone.

FGA Staff Member: I'm Michael, I'm one of the FGA staff members here, nice to meet yea Sebastian.

Sebastian Stone: That it is, though I bet after tonight or even after we are done you're going to tweet you had a conversation with yours truly aren't you, no need to answer that Michael as I'm sure you've never had a conversation with a movie actor before huh?

FGA Staff Member: Actually...

(Before Michael could even answer back Sebastian cut him off.)

Sebastian Stone: Well now you can say you have guy, here's an autograph for you too...

(Sebastian says before walking on off down the hallway, Watts can be seen following closely behind him.)

[FGA Office]

Kris Cruise: Coming up next, we have Berlin Anderosn, formerly of iiW taking on Kirra Kee, also formerly of iiW.

Stephy Auger: With iiW closed for the time being, these two are looking to show exactly what they're made of in front of potential suitors in the crowd. Berlin's going to try and use that highflying/striking style of his and Kirra is going to loko to capitalize on a mistake. Berlin's got to be the overwhelming favorite going into this. But Kirra can't be counted out. She might just find a way to pull this out...

Berlin Anderson vs. Kirra Kee

"Sleepwalking" by Blindside rings through the arena, and Berlin Anderson shoots through the curtain and down the ramp at full speed, planting a foot on the ring apron and pushing off into the Capoeira mariposa.

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, hailing from Radon Canyon, weighing in at one hundred and seventy eight pounds… The ‘Parkour Warrior’ BERLIN ANDERSON!

Berlin circles the ring, slapping hands with the fans, pausing to gift his shades to one lucky child at ringside, who smiles delightedly. Anderson jumps to the apron, using the top rope to springboard himself into the ring, rolling to his feet and climbing the turnbuckles fluidly, posing arms spread for a moment. Jumping down again, he readies himself for the match, bouncing on his toes.

“Set It Off” by Timomatic begins to play throughout the arena as, and with shameless enthusiasm, Kirra jumps up and down at the top of the aisle; the lights around her going up as she does so. She mouths, "Oooh, Timomatic!" along with the music, and begins to dance her way towards the ring, her cheerful enthusiasm definitely outweighing her ability to mimic Timomatic's dance moves from the official video, singing along.

Stephy Auger: And his opponent, now residing on the couches of friends… weighing in at one hundred and fifty five pounds… she is KIRRA KEE!

She pauses to remove her headband, placiing it generously on the head of one lucky fan at ringside, before climbing into the ring. Kirra manages to get through the ropes without incident before she continues her dance moves while the music dies down.

The bell sounds to start the match as both Kirra and Berlin take a moment to circle the ring, soaking in the crowd’s appreciation before coming together with a collar and elbow tie up. Berlin briefly drops to one knee as he pushes Kirra backwards, only to take her down with an arm drag moments later. Both competitors rush back to their feet as, this time, it’s Kirra who performs the arm drag takedown. Anderson skids across the ring, stopping near the ropes as both competitors once again return to their vertical bases.

Kris Cruise: Both competitors with quick takedowns to start things off. but

Stephy Auger: Kirra got taken down first. But she got right back up and gave him a taste of his own medicine.

The fans are rallying behind both of them, cheering them on in turn as Berlin and Kirra lock horns again. Another collar and elbow tie up as Kirra turns it into a side headlock before transitioning into a hammer lock. Anderson looks for a way, lowering himself to a seated position as he grabs Kirra around the back of the head with his free hand. He rises back up and counters with a snapmare and a soccer kick to the spine. Kirra sits frozen in pain as her opponent runs against the ropes, coming back with a running dropkick to the face! And the early pin attempt by Berlin Anderson.

ONE!
.
.
Kickout!

Anderson rolls his opponent back to her feet and immediately sends her against the ropes with an Irish whip. Kee slides between his slides upon her return, however, popping back up to her feet with a forearm smash to the face of Berlin. She goes for an Irish whip of her own, but it’s reversed as Berlin once again sends her against the ropes. He goes for a dropkick, but Kirra holds onto the ropes, watching as Berlin lands flat on his back! He sits right back as Kirra runs in with a flipping neckbreaker! And a lateral press.

ONE!
.
.
Kickout!

Kris Cruise: Two quick nearfalls for both competitors as well.

Stephy Auger: These two appear to be more evenly matched than we thought.

This time it’s Berlin who kicks out as Kee waits for him to get back to his feet. A few more forearm shots to the face has the Parkour Warrior backed into a corner. She sends him from pillar to post, following up with a flying splash to cheers from the fans. Another Irish whip sends Anderson right back across the ring as he slams back first into the turnbuckle. Kee charges in at him again, this time executing a monkey flip out of the corner; Berlin flies through the air but masterfully lands on his feet as he waits for Kee to stand back up – a spinning heel kick catching her flush against the jaw!

Kris Cruise: What athleticism by Berlin! He landed right on his feet after that monkey flip for Kirra!

Stephy Auger: Yeah, and he followed up with a heel kick that caught her right on the jaw!

Anderson takes charge, lifting his opponent back to her feet as he pushes her back against the ropes. A few knife edge chops for good measure and he whips Kirra across the ring–only for her to block and counter with a forearm smash. She goes for the Irish whip, sending Berlin against the ropes before lowering her head for the back body drop; Berlin has her scouted, however, and counters with a thunderous facebreaker knee smash! Kirra Kee flops backwards and rolls out of the ring. The nearby fans cheer her on, urging her to carry on and look out as Berlin springboards up onto the perpendicular ropes and flies seamlessly flies over the top with a moonsault!

Kris Cruise: Berlin takes it to the air and connects!

Stephy Auger: The high-risk move paid off for the Parkour Warrior!

Both competitors take their time to get back after that one, but the fans here in Monroe are on their feet with applause for both of them. Berlin stands first, using the guard rail to aid him as Kirra is clutching to the ring apron. He grabs her from behind and rolls her back into the ring before climbing up onto the apron himself. Anderson readies himself as Kirra turns around to face him, and gets taken out by a springboard lariat! Another pin attempt by Berlin as he hooks the leg.

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Kickout!

He looks a little shocked, but goes right back to the task at hand, lifting Kirra back to a vertical base. She’s sent towards the corner, her head bouncing off the top turnbuckle before she falls back against the pads. Berlin lifts his opponent up onto the top rope before climbing up as well, hooking Kee in position for a superplex – but she’s fighting. A few jabs to the midsection force Anderson to release his grip before he’s pushed away, crashing back first against the mat! He’s not down for long however. Berlin almost immediately gets back up as he rushes towards the corner again, only for Kirra to hop over his head, kicking Berlin in the back as she does so, propelling him chest first into the turnbuckles. Anderson stumbles backwards out of the corner, right into the waiting arms of Kirra Kee–GERMAN SUPLEX!

Stephy Auger: Woah! What a move that was by Kirra!

The big time move has left both competitors temporarily down as the referee begins the count out. At three, Kirra begins to stir, moving towards the ropes in order to regain her vertical base as, at the five count, Berlin pushes himself up to all fours. He stands up by seven, but Kirra is already up. She catches her opponent with a shin kick to the thigh, followed by a second. She runs against the ropes that were behind her, running past Berlin and against the far ropes before coming back with a headscissors takedown!

Kris Cruise: The Deadly Dropbear by Kirra Kee!

Berlin Anderson is sent tumbling out under the bottom rope as Kirra takes a moment to try and rally the fans. She goes against the far ropes for some momentum before launching herself with a baseball slide – but Berlin sidesteps the attack, grabbing Kirra around the waist to counter with a backbreaker. Kee is down on the outside as Berlin looks towards the ring post – taking a moment to signal to the crowd before he climbs up into a bar hold position. Berlin vaults off the ring post with his patented Flagpole Press–but Kirra lifts her knees to drive them up into her opponent’s ribs!

Stephy Auger: The high risk doesn't pay off for Berlin this time as Kirra has him countered!

The referee’s count out is at five as Kirra rolls her opponent back into the ring, before sliding in under the bottom rope herself. She grabs Berlin and sets him in position for the Down Under, driving Anderson face first into the mat to cheers from the crowd. Another pop as Kee looks towards the corner. Eagerly, she climbs out onto the apron to ascend to the top rope – but Berlin, seemingly on his second wind, is already on his feet. As Kee reaches the top rope, Berlin rushes her, jumping up onto the middle rope as he’s looking for an Arabian moonsault slam–only to find himself get pushed away! Berlin lands on his back and rolls through as Kee steadies herself on the top rope–THE BOOMERANG! Kee performing the flipping senton as she lands, sitting across Berlin’s chest, reaching back to hook the leg!

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

"Set It Off" plays to cheers from the crowd.

J.A. Aldridge: Here is your winner, KIRRA KEE!

Kirra gets her arm raised to cheers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: What a back and forth encounter that was!

Stephy Auger: You had hard hits. You had high flying moves and a ton of nearfalls. I thought both competitors had it won at several points throughout the match. But Kirra was able to take advantage, seize the moment and got herself the win!

After the match, Kirra and Berlin shake hands before raising each others arm in the air, resulting in cheers and applause from the crowd.

[FGA Office]

(Backstage the camera zooms in on a large bulk of a man sitting down on a fold out chair hunched over looking down at the floor deep in thought. The closer the camera gets soon he looks up revealing himself to be DeMarcus Gresham. The crowd that knows of him boos most knowing of his ability to do whatever it takes to make his point. A person of conflicting morality.)

Gresham: I almost feel bad that I must do this. Fran is very much still a child trying to find her way. I myself am still very young but with my upbringing and growth I had to quickly leave childish things behind to get where I am today. I have to do this to get where I need to be. Unfortunate for Fran but quite the blessing for the rest of you.

(He stands up and being walking toward the camera.)

Gresham: Ladies, Gentlemen, companies around the world...you are about to experience Gifted. The pleasure...

(He smiles confidently and cockily.)

Gresham: ...is all yours.

(The camera fades after he steps over the lowered camera view emphasis on his size.)

Hard Knox Wrestling

[FGA Office]

Kris Cruise: Next up, we've got Fran, representing Hard Knox Wrestling. She'll be taking on DeMarcus Gresham, formerly of KWI.

Stephy Auger: Before KWI's closing, Gresham was tearing it up there, going undefeated. While you had your standout stars like a Bayano Arroyo, Xander Shaw or Rosalynn Darling, it was DeMarcus Gresham who was creating quite the buzz for himself. He was poised to be the next breakout student there until KWI shut its doors. Will he be able to bring that same level of success to this match here? Fran's giving up a lot in terms of height, weight and power. But Fran's now under the "Felfluence", so we're going to see a much more aggressive side of her than we've seen before. And that may just be enough for Captain HKW to win here tonight...

Fran vs. DeMarcus Gresham

Shut up
Nobody cares what you have to say
Shut up
Nobody's listening to you anyway

As the fans erupt into a chorus of boos Francesca makes her way out to the top of the ramp looking out to the audience with much more confidence than she previously had.

You got your eye liner done wrong
Fake nails too long
Fingers all up in my face
Trying to put me in my place
And you
Think you
Can just say what you wanna
But tonight I'm gonna gonna

Fran inhaled as she moved down the ramp looking out to the audience with a disgusted look on her face. Even going as far as to snatch her arm away from a child who reached out to tap her arm. She shot a mean stare at the fans before proceeding down the ramp.

Smack you
Right across your lips
Gonna lose your lipstick
Cause you keep on talkin' shit
I'm gonna kick you
Right between your hips
Cause you're such a catty bitch
And for me it's such a switch
Cause I'm usually such a lady
But tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch

BITCH
BITCH
BITCH
BITCH
BITCH
BITCH

Fran gets into the squared ring with some enthusiasm. Walking to one side of it in order to wait for the next person to come out.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Bloomfield, New Jersey! Weighing in at 118 pounds! She is “Captain HKW”, FRAN!

The singing background of Blackstar’s “K.O.S (Determination)” starts a dim but seen yellow spotlight in front of the black curtain at the entrance. “Gifted” DeMarcus Gresham steps from behind the curtain into it with a winning smile to the boo’s of the crowd. The laid back beat is not meant to hype himself up, it is meant for focus...plan...precaution. He pays no attention to the boo’s or the fans among him, they are beneath him.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, now residing out of Los Angeles, California! Weighing in at 257 pounds! He is “Gifted” DeMARCUS GRESHAM!

He takes a slow stroll down the walkway and takes pauses in between to cockily brush himself off. Impressively he jumps from the floor onto the ring apron where he wipes his black boots along the flooring before climbing through the ropes into the ring. Once in the middle of the ring he points to his head and talks out to the fans about his superior intellect leading him above all. The fans boo louder and he basks ready for another night of supremacy.

The bell sounds as Gresham and Fran lock up. Gresham quickly gains the advantage with a side headlock. Fran then tries to shove Gresham off of her. But Gresham’s got the hold locked on tight. After shifting around, Fran tries to shove him off her but again, it’s to no avail. After three punches to the lower back, Fran tries to shove Gresham off her. But again, it’s to no avail. She then grabs one of Gresham’s legs, lifts him up and delivers a shinbreaker, breaking the hold. Fran then goes on the attack, throwing out several stomps to the leg. Gresham shoves her away from him to create some distance. But Fran comes right back. This time, with shoot kicks to the leg. But Gresham is able to reach down and catch her by the leg. After taunting Fran, Gresham spins her around. When Fran comes back, Gresham looks to knock her head off with a clothesline. But Fran ducks. When Gresham turns around, Fran knocks him down with a leg sweep. She quickly makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
Gresham shoves Fran off of him.

As Gresham tries to get back to a vertical base, Fran runs over and applies a headlock. Once Gresham gets back to his feet, he shoves Fran off of him and into the ropes. When Fran comes back, she bounces off of Gresham and falls to the canvas after being given a shoulder block. Gresham reaches down, picks up Fran and knees her in the midsection, only to knock her down with a knee lift. After picking Fran back up, he unleashes a series of blistering knife-edge chops. Each chops knocks Fran closer and closer towards the corner. Gresham then reaches back and whacks Fran across the chest with one final chop, sending her stumbling into the corner. After sizing her up, Gresham lunges forward with a series of shoulder thrusts that nearly knock the air out of Fran. As Fran doubles over and gasps for air, Gresham looks down at her and smirks as he shakes his head. After giving Fran a series of disrespectful slaps upside the head, Gresham takes Fran and whips her into the opposite corner. He then sizes her up before running across the ring. But Fran nails him with a boot to the face. After Gresham stumbles back, he shakes off the blow before running back into the corner. But this time, Fran nails him with an elbow to the face. As Gresham stumbles back, Fran quickly steps out onto the apron and goes for a springboard DDT. But Gresham catches her in mid air and then rams her back-first into the corner.

Stephy Auger: Fran tries to finally knock Gresham off his feet. But "Gifted" had other plans, sending her right back into the corner...

Gresham grabs a hold of Fran and launches her towards the center of the ring with a hip toss out of the corner. As Fran slowly turns over and gets back up to her feet, Gresham heads from out of the corner and goes for another clothesline. But Fran side steps and counters with a drop toe hold. She quickly transitions into an STF.

Kris Cruise: What a counter by Fran! Not only does she finally take Gresham down to the mat, but now she's got him locked in the STF!

Stephy Auger: She hasn't worked Gresham over that much. But still, that hold has got to hurt. The question now is, how much pain can Gresham withstand? Can he will himself towards the ropes?

The ref asks Gresham if he wants to give up. But Gresham responds by wagging his finger at him. So Fran pulls back, increasing the pressure of the hold. Gresham then slaps the canvas out of frustration.

Kris Cruise: You know Gresham has got to be furious over letting himself get caught like this by Fran.

Stephy Auger: Oh, I'm sure he is. But he can beat himself up over that later. Right now, he's got to get himself to the ropes. Him laying there and being ticked off isn't going to help him at all.

Gresham pushes himself up off the mat and begins to pull himself towards the ropes. Fran can be seen shaking her head as Gresham inches closer and closer to the ropes.

Kris Cruise: There goes Gresham! He slowly's inching himself across the ring and towards the ropes.

Stephy Auger: He's almost there...

Gresham reaches out… and grabs the bottom rope. The ref then gives Fran until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Fran reluctantly lets go. She then picks up Gresham and goes for an irish whip. But Gresham reverses, sending her into the ropes. When Fran comes back, she goes to slide through Gresham’s legs. But Gresham reaches down, grabs her, pulls her back up to her feet and after an intiial struggle, applies a cobra clutch from behind.

Kris Cruise: And now it's Fran's turn to be caught in a submission!

Stephy Auger: Gresham's swinging her from side to side like a ragdoll. You know this is payback for her catching him off guard with that STF.

Knowing that she’s been caught, Fran begins to panic. She reaches out, trying to grab a hold onto anything from the ropes to the ref. But nothing is within her reach. Gresham then tightens the hold, making matters worse.

Kris Cruise: He's really got that hold locked in tight.

Stephy Auger: Fran's got to find a way out and fast.

The ref asks Fran if she wants to give up. When Fran refuses to quit, Gresham hoists her up and then throws her down with the KOS. He drops down and makes the cover.

ONE!

Fran gets her shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Big cobra clutch slam there by Gresham, but it only gets two.

Stephy Auger: Yeah, but how much did it take out of Fran?

After both grapplers get back to their feet, Fran nails Gresham with a kick to the midsection. After delivering an uppercut, Fran wraps her arms around Gresham and goes for a northern lights suplex. But she’s unable to lift him up. So Gresham smirks before nailing her with a double ax handle to the back, knocking her down to one knee. After bringing Fran back to her feet, Gresham whips her into the corner. He then runs across the and finally connects with a clothesline. He then turns, places her in a headlock and goes for a running bulldog. But Fran shoves Gresham off of her and into the ropes. When Gresham comes back, Fran takes him down with an STO. She makes the cover.

Kris Cruise: Big spinebuster there by Gresham!

Stephy Auger: Did you see the way the back of Fran's head smacked against the canvas!?

Fran clutches the back of her head as Gresham gets back to his feet. He crouches down and begins to wave up Fran. He begins to grow restless as Fran slowly turns over. After Fran gets up and turns around, Gresham runs over and connects with Determination. He makes the cover.

Pride Pro Wrestling

[FGA Office]

Kris Cruise: Up next, we've got Julian Savell of North Atlantic Wrestling taking on Luke Jackson of Pride Pro Wrestling.

Stephy Auger: I know that some of Savell's "Elitist" mates are in the house tonight. Hopefully, they stay in the back and keep this fight between Luke and Julian.

Kris Cruise: Luke finds himself once again being ridiculed for his actions and feelings when it comes to one Jessica Sears. And of course, a guy like Julian Savell couldn't wait to rub everything in Luke's face.

Stephy Auger: Well, that's just the kind of guy that Julian is. But Luke can't let him get into his head. He's got to fight his fight. If he can stay on track, he stands a good chance at winning this one.

Kris Cruise: I'm sure Luke will try and stay focused. But not only is Jessica Sears in the back, but he's also got a huge match with Bayani Arroyo right around the corner.

Stephy Auger: That's right. Luke will be taking on Bayani in a First Blood Match at Pride Pro's "Ground Zero" event later this month. But again, Luke's got to stay focused on Julian tonight. Julian's too dangerous.

Julian Savell vs. Luke Jackson

"Save Me" by Burn Halo begins to blare over the PA system when Julian Savell appears at the top of the entrance way as the fans begin to show him with boos. Julian pops the collar of the cut-off jeans jacket that he's wearing as a sly smirk runs over his face. Julian now begins to walk down the ramp while repeatedly raising his hands in the air, telling the fans to get louder with their boos and they oblige.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, now residing out of Las Vegas, Nevada! Weighing in at 218 pounds! He is “Your Own Personal Savior” JULIAN SAVELL!

Julian now walks up the steps and dusts his feet off on the top step before stepping through the middle rope. Now climbing up to one of the top turnbuckles, Julian raises his hands in the air horizontally. Julian then jumps down from the turnbuckle, takes off his jeans jacket and sun glasses them and hands them to one of the staffers outside of the ring. Julian now awaits for the match to begin.

Luke Jackson comes out with a huge smile on his face basking in the glory of wrestling. He has a black wife beater on and backwards Oakland As' cap on. He slaps the hands of fans on his way down to the ring.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Oakland, California! Weighing in at 165 pounds! He is LUKE "THE KID" JACKSON!

The bell sounds as Savell and Jackson lock up. After jockeying for position, Savell moves Jackson into the corner. The ref then scurries over and gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both men appear to make a clean break. Jackson keeps his fists up just in case. But Savell, surprisingly, keeps it clean. However, he reaches over and gives Jackson a condescending pat on the cheek to boos from the crowd.

Savell then steps back towards the center of the ring and waves him on. Jackson then marches out of the corner and engages in another collar & elbow tie up. After jockeying for position, Savell moves Jackson right back into the corner. The ref quickly goes over and gives them another count of five…

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both men make a clean break. However, Savell quickly shoves Jackson to boos from the crowd. But the boos quickly turn to cheers as Jackson comes out of the corner and responds with a shove of his own. But Savell doesn't fall. Adding insult to injury, Savell brushes his chest off.

Kris Cruise: Savell's already trying to get in Jackson's head.

Stephy Auger: But Jackson can't let him. He can't let himself fall into Savell's trap. This is what Savell wants. He wants Jackson to get angry. He wants Jackson to fight angry.

After the two men circle the ring, they slowly inch towards each other before locking up. After jockeying for position, it’s Jackson that begins to move Savell across the ring. But on a dime, Savell turns and presses Jackson up against the turnbuckles. Once again, the ref heads over and gives them a count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Both men appear to make a clean break. That is, until Savell throws out a sucker punch. But Jackson ducks. When Savell turns around, Jackson lights him up with a series of right hands to cheers from the crowd. Jackson takes Savell, brings him out of the corner and whips him into the ropes.

Kris Cruise: Jackson's taken control of this match.

Stephy Auger: He's got Savell right where he wants him.

Savell turns over on his knees and pleads for a timeout. But Jackson is waving him up.

Kris Cruise: Would you look at this?

Stephy Auger: Don't buy it, Luke!

Savell again pleads for a timeout. But Jackson wants to near none of it. As he reaches down to pick up Savell, Savell rakes him across the eyes to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Blatant cheap shot from Savell!

Stephy Auger: We both saw it coming...

Savell gets up, grabs Jackson from behind and rakes his eyes along the top rope. As Jackson stumbles into the corner, Savell turns him around and lights up his chest with a series of knife-edge chops. He then takes Jackson and whips him into the opposite corner. Savell then runs across the ring and connects with a spinning heel kick. The momentum sends Savell rolling over the top rope and onto the apron, where he lands safely on his feet. As Jackson stumbles from out of the corner, Savell springboards to the top turnbuckle. When Jackson turns around, Savell leaps off and connects with a cross body block.

Kris Cruise: Great counter there by Savell, but it only gets two.

Stephy Auger: But Savell is still in control. Things came to a screeching halt for Jackson after those rakes to the eyes.

Savell picks up Jackson and goes for a vertical suplex. But Jackson slips down from behind, lifts up Savell and delivers an atomic drop, followed by a dropkick that sends him stumbling through the ropes and to the floor. As Savell pulls himself up using the ropes, Jackson runs across the ring and connects with the Oakland Drive-By, knocking Savell off the apron and to the floor.

Kris Cruise: Jackson sends Savell flying off the apron with a kick to the face!

Stephy Auger: It doesn't look like Jackson is done, either!

Jackson steps out onto the apron and waits for Savell to get up. Once Savell is up and in position, Jackson connects with an Asai Moonsault to cheers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Jackson takes him down with a moonsault to the outside!

Stephy Auger: And just like that, The Kid is right back in this!

Savell gets up, but Jackson runs over and knocks him down with a clothesline. Savell gets back up, but Jackson sends him back down with a running clothesline. As Savell gets up, Jackson grabs him and whips him into the ropes. When Savell comes back, he hops up onto Jackson’s shoulders and goes for a hurricanrana. But Jackson counters with a powerbomb. He then grabs Savell by the legs and turns him over into a Boston Crab to cheers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Jackson's got the Boston Crab applied!

Stephy Auger: And Savell's got nowhere to go!

The ref asks Savell if he wants to give up. Once Savell refuses to quit, Jackson pulls back, increasing the pressure of the hold.

Kris Cruise: And now we can really see the pain that's written all over Savell's face.

Jackson pulls back as Savell continue to cringe in pain. The ref asks Savell if he wants to give up. But Savell won’t quit.

Stephy Auger: Savell refuses to throw in the towel. But how much longer can be hang on for?

After pushing himself up off the mat, Savell tries to crawl towards the ropes. But Jackson stands up, drags him back towards the center of the ring and sits down into another Boston Crab.

Kris Cruise: Not so fast! Jackson pulls his right back towards the center of the ring!

Stephy Auger: And this crowd is loving every minute of it!

The ref asks Savell if he wants to give up. But again, Savell refuses to quit.

Kris Cruise: Savell's showing a lot of toughness here.

Stephy Auger: But soon, the pain is going to become too much.

(The scene opens up in the back with SSWA's Aria Hall sipping on a bottle of water. After taking a long sip, she turns her head a bit to speak to someone who isn't in frame.)

Hall: Oh, don't you worry; I'm going to kill her. I haven't had a match in a few weeks, and I'm DYING to get in there.

(The camera pans over and we see Nina Stokes of HKW fame standing next to her.)

Stokes: Wait, two weeks? Aren't you in two companies?

(Aria lets out a sigh.)

Hall: SSWA has got some tournament going on; I'll be on there after that. Blazenwing? I don't know, contractual shit I guess. So, as you can imagine, I've got a lot of "frustration" to let out in this match.

(Nina nods her head.)

Stokes: Yeah, that's got to be frustrating.

Hall: Life shit; what can you do? But yo', earlier you said something about Casper heading to New Mexico?

Nina: Apparently she up and left for Albuquerque without telling anyone...after talking to me, of course.

Hall: And of course, everyone ran to her aid, right?

(Aria shakes her head as she takes another sip.)

Hall: She's so weak; it's almost a damn shame. But, I'm going to enjoy every moment of this match.

(Before Nina can respond, a small figure turns the corner armed with a replica cross-bow.)

? ? ?: It's not weak to seek training and wisdom. It's strong and smart.

(The camera pans out and reveals the figure to be none other than Jessica Sears in her Daryl Dixon cosplay. The cheers of the fans resonate from the ringside audience. Unlike her cheerful demeanor, her body language and facial expression are both completely serious.)

Sears: But of course you don't believe in the Nerd Nation. You doubt the Geek Power. You'll judge me by who I was in the past as typical bullies and antagonists always do. That will be the ultimate downfall... for the both of you.

(Nina takes a step forward, but Aria holds her back with her arm.)

Hall: Easy killer, I got this.

(Nina sighs and takes a step back.)

Hall: Jessica, you were weak in the past; and even now you still are weak. I'll get the chance to prove that to the whole world tonight. You like playing the "victim" huh? Well, tonight's your chance to become one for real.

(Aria smirks.)

Hall: Nina here may have some reservations about bashing your face in, but I don't; I don't give two fucks about your little "Love Rhombus." I'm gonna' break you; and then I'm going enjoy watching your so-called "loved ones" mourn over your fallen body.

(Jessica rolls her eyes, as Daryl Dixon would, and she smirks.)

Sears: Just as I thought; you continue to underestimate me. Please, by all means, act like Seymour Guado. Fester in all the negativity, hate and doubt, become one with it. When it's time to fight, you're going to contend with the equivalency of every single one of Yuna's aeons at maximum overdrive power. Simply known as...

(Suddenly, she takes aim with the cross-bow and fires a nerf bolt that sticks straight into the wall between Aria and Nina's heads.)

Sears: ...you're fucked. Overkill. Zero HP. No Phoenix Downs; no return. As dead as a dead walker will be.

(Nina shakes her head in disgust. She turn to Aria.)

Stokes: Good luck with this one. I'm headed back to the locker room.

(Nina glances at Jessica, who shoots a death glare back at her, before leaving.)

Hall: Nina dear, be sure to say hey to Bayani for me, would you?

(Aria laughs and Jessica shakes her head. She doesn't allow herself to be bothered with that reality, instead turning around and walking away. The camera captures a quick sight of her "lethal" game face and hears her say "better run, bitches" before she steps out of view.)

United Kingdom Wrestling Federation

[FGA Office]

Kris Cruise: Next up, we've got Aura Johansen of the UKWF taking on Derrick Wiland.

Stephy Auger: Wiland was the most recent SPITFIRE Pro champion. But with 2nd City Wrestling's closure, it looks like SPITFIRE will be joining 2CW in the afterlife. But regardless, Wiland was a champion. That's got to mean soemthing. But his opponent is no slouch. Satan's BFF is going to bring her unique brand of evil to the ring tonight. Does Wiland have what it takes to survive? We'll find out soon enough...

Aura Johansen vs. Derrick Wiland

The intro of "Dead Souls" by Joy Division hits the PA and Derrick Wiland comes out slowly to cheers from the crowd. He walks towards the ring, slapping hands with the fans.

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first from Buffalo, New York. He weighs in at one hundred and eighty pounds… ‘THE AMERICAN STRONG STYLE HERO’ DERRICK WILAND!

Derrick hops on the apron and slingshots into the ring where he immediately climbs to the top turnbuckle. He poses there as the streamers shower him, then drops down and prepares for his match.

“Slaughter Your World” starts its Disney-like tone over the speakers as the light in the arena turn a dark, bloody red. Out walks Aura, arms held wide anticipating the fans’ blinding hatred but receiving nothing of the sort, as many people in the crowd start singing the song’s “Alternate” lyrics.

Frowning slightly at the lack of hatred being directed at her, Johansen walks down to the ring, occasionally stopping to try and get a jump-scare on a youthful fan standing by the aisle, but instead only getting asked for a hug or a high-five… to which oddly enough she complies, while warily making sure none of the youths get jabbed by her spiky armpads sewn onto her long trench coat.

She gets ringside and quickly runs up the stairs, scales the turnbuckles and spits black mist into the air… once again frowning as the crowd warmly receives her shenanigans.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, standing at five-feet-two-inches tall and weighing in at one-hundred-seventy-pounds, she hails from the Lowest Rung of Hell… AURA JOHANSEN!

Still perched on the ropes she removes her trenchcoat and hops into the ring, walking over to her corner she sets her coat on the outside apron before stalking back and forth in her corner, waiting for the match to start.

The bell sounds to start the match as both competitors start to circle the ring; the fans here in Monroe rallying behind both AuJo and Wiland as the latter signals his intention for a collar and elbow tie up. AuJo willingly accepts as the two of them jostle for position. Using his minor size advantage, Wiland pushes the smaller AuJo back against the ropes. The referee calls for a break as Wiland cautiously backs away. Another collar and elbow tie up ensues as Wiland goes behind with a rear waistlock. A few back elbows from Johansen weaken his grip enough to allow her to run against the ropes. She comes back with a shoulderblock that manages to take Derrick off his feet. She goes to drop the elbow, but Wiland moves out of the way and scrambles back to his feet.

Wiland charges at his opponent, only to get caught by a drop toe hold. Again, both competitors hurry to their feet before AuJo strikes first, catching Derrick with a toe kick to the gut. She grabs him in a headlock and throws him over her hip and down to the mat, keeping the headlock applied. Wiland kicks his legs up and hooks them around Johansen’s head, forcing her to release the hold.

Once again both competitors return to their footing as Wiland charges, and gets caught by a hip toss! He bounces off the mat, holding his back in pain as he stands, only for AuJo to execute another hip toss. Wiland takes his time getting back to his feet, using the ropes to do so as AuJo charges in a running dropkick that knocks him through the ropes and to the outside.

Kris Cruise: AuJo sends Wiland stumbling to the floor after a succession of moves.

Stephy Auger: The match has been even up to this point. But this could be AuJo's chance to take control of this one.

Satan’s BFF steps out onto the apron, taking the opportunity to try and antagonize the fans as she sizes her rising opponent up–RUSH THE PARAPETS! AuJo running and jumping off the apron as she connects with a hip attack that sends her opponent flying back into the barriers; he accidentally knocks a large container of cola out of a woman’s hand and all down her front – and Aura Johansen seems to apologize to the lady for the accident…

Realizing what she’s doing, AuJo grows visibly angry, stomping her feet and frowning heavily as she grabs Wiland up by the hair and rolling him back into the ring. He appears to have got a second wind, however, as he rises to his feet and goes against the far ropes. AuJo enters the ring just in time to duck the oncoming lariat attempt, diving around the back to counter with a Russian legsweep! And the pin attempt!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!

Wiland gets the shoulder up as AuJo ‘rages’ at the official, demanding to know how that wasn’t a three count. The referee assures her it was only a two count, but she continues to protest, allowing time to Wiland to get back to his feet.

Kris Cruise: Uh oh, Wiland's coming to.

Stephy Auger: Look out, Aujo!

He goes to grab AuJo from behind, but she sees him coming somehow – as if Satan himself had warned her of the danger – and catches Wiland with an overhead hammerfist! He’s dazed, staggering around as AuJo spins on the spot–ROARING HEADBUTT CONNECTS! And down goes Wiland!

Kris Cruise: AuJo caught Wiland with that hard headbutt!

Stephy Auger: I'm sure he's got to be seeing stars, or devil horns, right about now.

Aura Johansen appears to be feeling the effects of that one as well, but she staggers towards the corner, stepping out through the ropes in order to climb the turnbuckle. And head first she dives, performing her patented Super Evil Demonically Possessed Skull-Fuck From Above! The crowd cheer as she crawls up to hook the leg.

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

“Slaughter Your World” plays to cheers from the crowd.

J.A. Aldridge: Here is your winner, AURA JOHANSEN![/b]

The ref raises AuJo's arm in victory.

Kris Cruise: Satan's BFF gets the win here at Frontier To The Future!

Stephy Auger: What a performance by AuJo! After a series of back and forths to start things off, she really took control and never looked back!
