Cordy Stevenson vs. Dom Harter

The lights dim down and take on a purplish hue as a light smoky mist fills the entranceway. The opening chorus to “Skeletons” by Joe Budden begins to play throughout the arena as a shapely silhouette can be seen taking form in the mist.

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)

And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet

And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)

Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it

I doubt it

As the beat drops, the crowd gives a loud pop as Cordelia Stevenson slowly emerges, removing her hoodie from her head. She comes to a stop, glancing around and taking in the reception before giving the crowd a warm smile. She rolls her neck around before bowing her head and letting her hair fall in front of her face. A few seconds go by before she snaps her head up, whipping her hair back from in front of her face. Her eyes lock in on the ring and she marches towards it with a determined stride.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Freeport, Long Island! Weighing in at 146 pounds… CORDY STEVENSON!

Once she gets to the ring, she climbs up onto the apron and walks around the side, and towards the middle. She turns and faces her crowd, stretching her arms out to the side and slightly tilting her head backwards as she soaks in their reaction. She gives them an appreciative nod and blows a kiss at them, before stepping into the ring and making her way over towards the opposite turnbuckle. She quickly hops up and holds her arms out, drawing a reaction from that side of the crowd as well. She unzips her hoodie and tosses it away before hopping down and making her way over to her corner as the music dies down.

Kris Cruise: Cordy Stevenson's got a lot on her plate. She's got her fundraiser coming up. She's got a big tournament around the corner in PWP. But she's also got a huge task at hand tonight in the form of Dom Harter.

Stephy Auger: Cordy has yet to beat Dom, falling to him in both singles and tag team action. But will the third time be the charm? Can Cordy get that elusive win over the TLB? Or will she walk out of this arena heartbroken on Valentine's Day?

The opening chords of “Low Self Opinion” begin to play throughout the arena as the crowd begin to boo. After ten seconds or so, Dom Harter steps out from behind the curtain. He throws his arms out to either side, his gaudy leather with patches of studs and spiked shoulders proudly on display. The ever familiar crooked grin plastered on his face as he begins to stride down the aisle, soaking in the boos and jeers that are coming from the fans here in Philly.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 238 pounds! He is “The Tenacious Little Bastard,” DOM HARTER!

Harter climbs up the ring steps and climbs in through the middle rope; once inside the squared circle, Harter taunts the fans, beckoning them to boo him further as he removes his leather jacket and the Believe t-shirt he wears underneath it.

Kris Cruise: Dom Harter's looking as smug as ever. He really thinks he's got both this and the Pride Championship in the back.

Stephy Auger: I hate to say it, but things have been going great for him as of late. Foxy Boxing's got a solid buzz. He holds a victory over Tony Carmine, albeit it in tag team action. And of course, Cordy is sporting the goose egg against him, going oh and two their two matches against each other. The Tenacious Little Bastard's got a lot on his side.

The bell sounds as Harter and Cordy lock up. Harter quickly uses his strength advantage to move Cordy into the ropes. The ref hurries over and gives both grapplers until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Harter appears to make the clean break…. only to throw out a sucker punch. But Cordy ducks. When Harter turns around, Cordy nails him with a series of knife-edge chops to cheers from the crowd. She then takes Harter and goes for an irish whip. But Harter reverses, sending her into the ropes. When Cordy comes back, she tries to slide through Harter’s legs. But Harter reaches down and grabs two handfuls of hair. After pulling Cordy back up to her feet, he flings her across the ring to boos from the crowd. Harter marches over, reaches down, grabs Cordy by the hair again and hurls her across the ring. As Cordy slowly turns over and gets back to her feet, Harter runs towards her and connects with a flying double knee strike, sending Cordy flying back and smacking the back of her head against the turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Harter goes over, drags her from out of the corner and makes the cover.

ONE!

.
TWO!

Cordy gets her shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: We're barely a minute into this contest and already, Harter has dominated the action.

Stephy Auger: He is absolutely having his way with her. And I know this is not the way Cordy expected things to play out.

Harter picks up Cordy and connects with a headbutt, sending Cordy falling to the canvas. Harter reaches down, picks Cordy back up and connects with a right hand, sending her stumbling back into the ropes. Harter marches over, grabs Cordy by the hair and pulls her away from the ropes. He then connects with a forearm strike, sending Cordy stumbling down to her knees. As Cordy tries to get back to her feet, Harter nudges her in the side of the head with the sole of his boot, knocking her back down.

Kris Cruise: Some blatant disrespect being shown there by Dom Harter.

Stephy Auger: Would you expect anything less from him?

Cordy turns over and tries to get up, but Harter connects with a knee lift, sending Cordy stumbling through the ropes and onto the apron. As Cordy pulls herself up on the apron, Harter marches over to attack. But Cordy nails him with a shoulder thrust through the ropes. While Harter is doubled over, Cordy connects with a sunset flip. She tries to pull Harter down as Harter frantically swings his arms. Once he regains his balance, he reaches down, grabs Cordy by the throat with both hands and yanks her back up to her feet. After shaking her, Harter shoves her back into the corner. Harter then runs over to attack, but Cordy nails him with an elbow to the face. As Harter stumbles back, Cordy hoists herself up onto the ropes. But Harter quickly reaches over, grabs Cordy the the ankle and yanks her off, sending her falling back-first onto the canvas. The crowd boos as Cordy sits up in pain. But the pain increases as Harter runs over and connects with a kick to the small of the back. He then turns Cordy back over and makes the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Cordy gets her shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Harter's still in firm control of this match. What does Cordy need to do to turn the tide?

Stephy Auger: She can't fight his fight. By keeping this a brawl, she's just playing right into Dom's hands. She's got to go after his legs... take him off his feet. She's got to use her speed and her agility to her advantage.

Harter picks up Cordy and whips her towards the ropes. But Cordy uses the momentum to counter with a handspring enzuigiri, sending Harter stumbling back to cheers from the crowd. Once Cordy gets back to her feet, she runs into the ropes. When she comes back, Harter goes for a lariat. But Cordy ducks and stops, sending Harter into the ropes. When Harter comes back, she connects with a spinning back kick, sending Harter stumbling through the ropes and to the floor. As Harter slowly gets up on the outside, Cordy runs into the ropes. When Harter turns around, Crody hurls herself to the outside, knocking him down with a suicide plancha to cheers and applause from the crowd.

Crowd: CORDY! CORDY! CORDY! CORDY!

Kris Cruise: Cordy Stevenson not holding anything back as she goes flying to the outside!

Stephy Auger: That was a beautiful plancha by Saint Sexy and now, she's got Dom Harter off his feet!

Cordy gets on top of Harter and hammers away with a series of right hands to the face. She then gets up, picks up Harter, slams his face onto the apron and shoves him back into the ring. After rolling herself back in, she gets on top of Harter again and throws out a series of right hands. But somehow, Harter is able to roll over on top of her. He then grabs her hair with both hands and rams the back of her head against the canvas.

Kris Cruise: And just like that, Dom shifts the tide back to him.

Harter picks up Cordy and whips her into the corner. Harter runs over, but Cordy nails him with a boot to the face, sending him stumbling back. After shaking off the attack, Harter runs back into the corner. Cordy goes for another boot to the face. But Harter puts on the brakes and catches her foot. He then drags her from out of the corner, taunting her along the way. But Cordy makes him pay with an enzuigiri that sends him flipping down to the canvas. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Harter kicks out.

Stephy Auger: Cordy nearly kicked Dom right out of his boots with that enzuigiri!

After picking up Harter, Cordy nails him with a series of forearm strikes to the face before running into the ropes. When Cordy comes back, Harter throws out a lariat, but Cordy ducks, floats over across his back and counters with a crucifix pin…

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

Both grapplers scramble to get back to a vertical base. But Cordy is up first and connects with a dropkick, knocking Harter down. As Harter gets back up, Cordy grabs him and whips him into the ropes. When Harter comes back, Cordy takes him down with a hurricanrana. Harter then turns over and gets back to his feet. But Cordy runs over, jumps and sends him back to the mat with a headscissors takeover. But instead of letting go, Cordy keeps her legs wrapped around Harter’s neck, applying a leg scissors headlock. The ref then asks Harter if he wants to give up. When Harter refuses to quit, Cordy lifts up her top leg to break the hold… only to take her the leg and repeatedly bring it down hard across Harter’s neck to cheers from the crowd.

Cordy picks up Harter, turns him around and gyrates her hips before bringing him down with the Deadly Seduction. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Harter gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: neckbreaker gets two. Cordy came so close to winning the FGA World Championship back in October. Then she got sidetracked. But is she finally on her path to getting back to that championship?

Stephy Auger: She very well could be. And a win over Dom tonight would do nothing but help.

Cordy picks Harter back up. This time, she grabs him from the side and delivers a russian leg sweep. While he’s down, Cordy runs into the ropes and goes for a springboard corkscrew senton. But Harter gets his knees up…

Kris Cruise: Cordy just crashed down across Harter's knees.

Stephy Auger: Harter saw it coming.

As Cordy lays in pain, Harter gets back to his feet. He picks up Cordy, turns her over and mocks her by gyrating his hips before delivering a neckbreaker of his own. The crowd boos as he turns over and makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: Harter with the taunt before hitting Cordy with her own move. Dom Harter has a huge match in two weeks against Tony Carmine. He could very well become the next FGA Pride Champion. It seems like when Dom wants something, he usually gets it by hook or by crook. Can Tony Carmine stop the Tenacious Little Bastard.

Stephy Auger: If Tony wants to win, he's going to have to outcheat a cheat. But how is he going to do that in a match fought under Pride Rules? Tony's got two wins over Riley Owens, one of the hottest grapplers in all of FGA in 2014. If he can replicate that performance, he stands a good chance of winning.

Harter picks her up and rakes her across the eyes, sending her stumbling over into the ropes. Harter then marches over, grabs Cordy heads towards the corner and slams her face-first into the top turnbuckle. After turning Cordy around, Harter pummels her down in the corner with a flurry of right hands. While Cordy is seated in the corner, Harter reaches down and chokes her to boos from the crowd. He then pulls down on the top rope as the ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Harter reluctantly lets go. He reaches down, picks up Cordy and whips her into the opposite corner. Harter then runs across the ring. But Cordy side steps and connects with a dropkick to the knee, sending Harter face-first into the middle turnbuckle.

Stephy Auger: Cordy with the counter!

As Harter turns into a seated position in the corner, Cordy runs over towards him and connects with a slingshot corner dropkick to cheers from the crowd. She then drags him from out of the corner and makes the cover.

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

Cordy picks up Harter, wraps her arm around him and sets him up for a DDT. But Harter counters by lifting her up and throwing her down with a sitout spinebuster. The crowd boos as he turns and makes the cover.

Cordy picks up Harter and goes for an irish whip. But Harter reverses, sending her into the ropes. When Cordy comes back, Harter bends over to set up a back body drop. But Cordy kicks him square in the face, sending him stumbling back. Cordy then runs back into the ropes. When she comes back, Harter hurls her across the ring with an overhead belly to belly suplex to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Harter with a big overhead belly to belly! This could be it...

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

Cordy gets her shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Harter picks up Cordy and whips her hard chest-first into the corner. As Cordy stumbles back, Harter applies a rear naked choke.

Stephy Auger: Submission applied!

The crowd boos as there’s a smirk firmly plastered on Harter’s face. Cordy frantically begins to grab at the ropes. But she’s nowhere near them. The ref asks her if she wants to give up. But Cordy refuses. She continues to try and grab a hold of anything she can to break the hold. But Harter’s got her right where he wants her - smack dab in the middle of the ring. But it gets even better for Harter as Cordy drops down to one knee. The crowd boos as Harter can feel that victory is near. But in a last ditch effort, Cordy gets back to her feet, reaches behind her, grabs Harter and delivers a kneeling jawbreaker, causing Harter to stumble into the ropes.

Kris Cruise: Cordy breaks the hold!

Stephy Auger: And she might have broken more than just the hold. That jawbreaker looks to have rocked Harter something serious.

After Harter shakes off the move, he runs over and nails Cordy in the back of the head with a yakuza kick. He turns her over and makes the cover.

ONE!

Kris Cruise: I thought that it was it right there after those three moves.

Stephy Auger: Cordy just got dropped right on her head!

Harter picks up Cordy, hooks both of her arms and plants her with Spin The Black Circle to boos from the crowd.

[FGA Office]

(We cut to ringside where we see Jake Wylde back in the ring. The fans boo as he sits in a steel chair, with another chair parallel to him.)

Jake Wylde: So as all of you know by now, for the past month I’ve done everything I can to try and show you how big of a piece of shit Chaz Holiday truly is. I’ve pointed out fact after fact and I’ve run my mouth to the point of exhaustion, but apparently it’s not working. Nothing I’m saying seems to be sinking into the thick skulls of you morons. I’m done trying to tell you guys anything. Clearly none of you want to listen to me, you’ve made that apparent. So I decided to try something different. If you won’t believe me, I’ll find someone that you’ll all listen to. Someone who knows Chaz better than anybody. Someone who Chaz has turned his back on and stabbed in the back and someone who isn’t afraid to tell you all about it.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME THE FATHER OF CHAZ HOLIDAY, MR. DAVID HOLIDAY!!!

(Most of the fans boo as the father of Chaz walks to the ring slowly, seeming hurt by the reaction of the fans. He slides in slowly, and shakes the hand of Wylde before sitting down.)

Jake Wylde: So Mr. Holiday, I know for a fact that you agree with every single thing that’s been said over the past few weeks; why don’t you tell all these people exactly why that is?

David Holiday: Because Chaz isn’t like he wants you to believe. He’s ungrateful. He’s disrespectful. And he’s selfish. Chaz and I had our problems in the past. And when I tried to be the bigger man and tried to fix our relationship, he might as well spit in my face.

Jake Wylde: Are you all hearing this? This should be case and point right here! This is the man who raised Chaz, who brought him into this world and cared for him. Sure, he’s made some mistakes. I’ve made my share, and anyone who says they haven’t is a bold face liar. But this man went out of his way to patch things up with his own son, his own flesh and blood and Chaz would have nothing to do with him. Is that someone you want your kids cheering for? A man who can’t even talk to his own father!?

David Holiday: All of this because he didn’t want to see things in a way other than his own. Like I said, selfish.

Jake Wylde: And that’s what I’ve been saying since day one. Chaz is selfish. He’s a glory hog. He’s a liar. He’s a hypocrite. He’s everything all you people SHOULD hate and yet you adore him!? This man didn’t only turn his back on you all, but his own God damn flesh and blood. This man is his father, his parent… it’s a bloody good thing that your mother is dead huh Chaz. She got out easy, she kicked the bucket before you had a chance to spit in her face just like you did your Dads. What do you do for Mothers Day? Take your sister out to the graveyard so you can piss on her grave!? You see that’s why I brought your father, because unlike you? He’s a good man. Unlike you, he knows how to tell the truth. Unlike you, he--

(Just then, the crowd explodes as Chaz Holiday comes running full speed down the entrance and slides into the ring.)

Kris Cruise: Chaz Holiday! Chaz is here tonight and he’s done listening to Jake Wylde spew all of his hateful crap!

(Chaz’s dad bails out of the ring as Chaz pops up to his feet and before Jake can get out of the ring, Chaz takes him down to the mat with a double leg takedown. Chaz lands a couple of right hands before Jake is able to scurry out of the ring and begins to quickly retreat up the entrance. Chaz grabs the microphone off of the mat, leaning against the ropes and staring a hole through Jake.)

Chaz Holiday: You want a match? Fine. You’ve got your wish. You and me at 2015 A New Odyssey.

(Chaz throws the mic on the mat, and Jake holds his face laughing and smiling as he and Chaz’s dead back up the apron. He mouths “I knew you’d crack. You stupid bastard I knew you’d crack.”)

Chandler Scott vs. Chris Bond

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

The house lights dim in the smaller facility, and multi-colored lights soon flicker throughout the filled-to-the-brim center. The crowd jumps to it's feet, blowing the roof off from the much smaller arena as Chris Bond makes his way out from behind the curtains. As he emerges from behind the curtain, there is a small burst of excitement from the crowd. With a spotlight lighting his way, Bond makes his way down the aisle and towards the ring, even slapping a few hands on the way down.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, now residing out of Chicago, Illinois! Weighing in at 238 pounds! He is the “Battled Hardened Veteran,” CHRIS BOND!

Soon enough he jogs up the stairs, and walks along the ring apron before wiping his feet. Chris Bond steps over the second rope and into the ring. The self-proclaimed legend of the wrestling world walks to the center of the ring and stands there for a moment, as flashes go off throughout the waves of fans. He circles the ring, arms outstretched, as the fans cheer loudly once again. Bond enjoys this, as his trademark smirk re-emerges on his face. Heading to his corner, Bond does a few stretches as he waits for the match to begin.

Kris Cruise: Words can't even describe what Chris Bond has been through in the past few weeks. I don't know what he's going through right now. But I know this match. We shouldn't pass judgement on him. We shouldn't tell him when and where to grieve and we shouldn't tell him when and where to leave.

Stephy Auger: I agree completely. Chandler Scott says a lot of things. But I think that there were points this week where he went a bit too far, even for him. That may very well come back to bite him in this one.

The sound of an organ plays throughout the arena as the fans turn their attention to the entrance way. As "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple kicks in, the crowd begins to boo, jeer and show various other forms of displeasure. At around the 30 second mark, Chandler Scott pushes through the curtain as the crowd really begins to let him have it.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Hyannis Port, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 245 pounds! He is the self-proclaimed “DNA of FGA,” CHANDLER SCOTT!

After scanning the crowd, Chandler raises his index finger in the air, letting everyone know who is truly "number one." He keeps a smug look planted on his face as he swaggers down to the ring. After climbing up onto the apron, Chandler steps through the ropes, climbs up onto the second ropes and slowly raises his fist in the air as he absorbs the crowd's disdain for him.

Kris Cruise: The self-proclaimed DNA of FGA is two weeks away from potentially recapturing the FGA World Championship. But if he does, and that is BIG if, it's not going to be easy.

Stephy Auger: There is a long list of good grapplers, great grapplers that have tried to end Jimmy Page's championship run. Every single one of them has failed. There's also Sean Sands, whose sole intent in returning seems to be to spite Chandler. There's also Johnny Karma, who has really turned it around as of late in the ring. Any of those four could win it. But when you've got the wins that Jimmy Page does, how can you not go with him?

The bell sounds as both men make their way towards the center of the ring. There’s no posturing. There’s no trash talk. Just two men staring each other down. Their eyes do all the talking. As a “Bond” chant breaks out, Bond cracks a smile as he nods, acknowledging the fans. Chandler then motions to turn away, only to throw out a sucker punch. But it’s blocked! And Bond quickly counters with a right hand of his own. He rattles off another right hand… and another… and another. He then goes for an irish whip. But Chandler reverses, sending Bond into the ropes. Before Bond can come back, Chandler throws out a Textbook Dropkick. But Bond sees it coming a mile away, so he hangs onto the top rope. After Chandler lands on the canvas, he tries to get back to his feet. But Bond runs over and takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chandler kicks out.

Bond picks up Chandler and places him in a side headlock. But Chandler shoves Bond off of him and into the ropes. When Bond comes back, Chandler knocks him down with a running shoulder block. He then goes over, picks up Bond, hoists him up with a single leg pick-up, runs across the ring and rams him back-first into the corner. The crowd boos as he unleashes a series of shoulder thrusts that nearly drive all the air out of Bond. He then takes Bond and whips him into the opposite corner. Chandler charges across the ring. But Bond nails him with a hard European Uppercut. He then takes Chandler, moves him into the corner and unleashes a series of stinging chops that leave Chandler’s chest red. He then brings Chandler from out of the corner and whips him into the ropes. When Chandler comes back, Bond connects with a dropkick, sending Chandler stumbling through the ropes and to the floor.

Kris Cruise: How about that? Bond connecting with a beautiful dropkick of his own.

Stephy Auger: And Chandler looks none too pleased.

Once Chandler gets up on the outside, he slaps his hands down hard on the apron, clearly upset that Bond’s gotten the better of him. Back in the ring, Bond never takes his eyes off of Chandler. As Chandler circles the ring, Bond motions for him to get back in. After hopping up onto the apron, Chandler gets up from off his knee and steps through the ropes. He then sizes up Bond before going over and locking up. Chandler quickly uses his strength advantage to move Bond into the corner. The ref quickly heads over and gives both men until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Chandler appears to make the clean break… only to kick Bond right in the midsection. He then nails Bond with a forearm strike, sending Bond stumbling into the nearby corner. Chandler marches over, turns Bond towards him and rocks him with a European Uppercut. He then takes Bond and whips him across the ring. Chandler then runs over towards the opposite corner. This time, Bond nails Chandler with a boot to the face. As Chandler turns and stumbles away from the corner. Bond comes from out of the corner and drives him down with a running bulldog. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

Stephy Auger: He definitely is. I figured Bond's head would be all over the place. But he appears to be focused.

Bond picks up Chandler and whips him into the ropes. When Chandler comes back, Bond scoops him up from the side before delivering a jumping backbreaker. While Chandler is down, Bond circles him before delivering a stomp to the left arm, followed by a stomp to the left leg. He turns before delivering a stomp to the right leg and then one to the right arm. Bond then turns and delivers several stomps to the face to cheers from the crowd. He reaches down, picks up Chandler and scoops him up across his shoulders for a Death Valley Driver. But Chandler elbows Bond in the side of the head. He then slips down from behind and shoves Bond into the ropes. When Bond comes back, Chandler throws him down with a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam. He hooks the leg.

He then picks Bond back up, hooks his arms around him and throws him down with a spinning side belly to belly suplex. Chandler then picks up Bond, lifts him in the air and holds him there for a good ten seconds. He then falls back, delivering a vertical suplex that causes Bond to sit up and arch his back in pain. Chandler then crawls over, pushes him down and makes the cover.

MAIN EVENT
Jimmy Page vs. Mia Scott

The lights in the majority of the arena dim, focusing on the entrance ramp as the intro to Fireflight’s “Stand Up” starts to play through the PA system.

Look at all the lonely hearts
Shivering out in the dark
Hiding from the truth, cover up the proof...
Demons that I’ve tried to hide
Imprison me in my own lies
And all that I can do is cover up the proof...

As the intro plays, the lights dim more and more, until even the entrance ramp is only barely lit. It holds that dimness for a moment or two, but the song kicks off rather abruptly, and as Mia enthusiastically runs out onto the stage, the lights kick back up to full power.

Don’t be afraid...to...
STAND UP!
Stand up if you’re broken
STAND UP!
Stand up if you feel ashamed
You are not alone when you hurt this way

Mia makes a quick trip down to the ring, slapping hands with any fans that might have stuck their hands out as she walks by. She circles around the ring, sliding under the bottom rope before making her way to the nearest turnbuckle, pointing out toward the fans for a moment before hopping down, settling back in the corner.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening! Introducing first, from Fulham, London, England! Weighing in at 126 pounds... MIA SCOTT!

Kris Cruise: Mia Scott has been running herself ragged as of late, appearing across multiple states and multiple continents in the span of the past seven days.

Stephy Auger: Her dance card has definitely been full. And that may come back to bite her tonight against Jimmy Page. She says she's not afraid of him and that's great. But how much does she have left in the tank?

The eerie cue up of "They Are Lost" by Last Remaining Pinnacle plays for ten seconds...then dies down, along with the lights. Suddenly the sound of drums and a electronic melody plays. The lights flash in red to the melody of the song. The song, "Can You Feel My Heart" by Bring Me The Horizon plays as a silhouette appears from out of the red. In his signature controlled stagger, Page comes out, hands extended, head down. Slowly his raises his head, soaked in the red lights. Fans boo him as he makes his way to the ring. He whips his hair our of his eyes as he snatches away from of the extended hands, almost threatening to hit someone. Page stops from time to time, swearing at some of the fans who chant "FUCK YOU JIMMY!!" and "PAGE SUCKS!!!" getting in their face.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, from Flint, Michigan! Weighing in at 230 pounds! He is the reigning FGA World Champion... JIMMY PAGE!

As Page finishes his march of ridicule, he stops at the top of the ramp. His eyes dead, his expression stoic as he glares around the arena, the lights still radiating that deadly red. Page goes in front of the ring, slides onto the apron on one knee and quickly gets inside. He goes to his right and climbs the turnbuckle and stands on top of it, swearing at the fans, pointing at himself, talking to them, taunting them, mocking them. He stands there for a moment, then routinely spits his gum at the crowd. Page leaps down, slides down into the corner, and sits on the middle turnbuckle. He rests his left hand on his cheek nonchalantly, waiting for the match to begin.

Kris Cruise: Jimmy Page has watched his challengers plot against him over the past month and a half. Now, he's got one more match left before he defends his championship in that huge Fatal 4-Way.

Stephy Auger: Jimmy Page has a tall order at A New Odyssey. But first, he's got to get past Mia Scott. His championship isn't on the line. But any momentum that he can take with him into A New Odyssey, the better. He cannot overlook Mia tonight.

The bell sounds as Page runs over and throws out a right hook, but Mia ducks. When Page turns around, Mia nails him with alternating shoot kicks to the legs.

Kris Cruise: These two aren't wasting any time getting into it!

Stephy Auger: Mia did say she wasn't afraid of Jimmy Page!

Mia follows up with a spinning back kick to the midsection, followed by a high knee lift, that sends him stumbling into the ropes. Mia then runs over to attack. But Page ducks and dumps her over the top rope…

… but Mia lands on the apron. When Page turns around, Mia nails him with a shoulder thrust to the midsection, doubling him over. She then slingshots herself over the top rope and onto Page’s back. She tries for the Circle Line. But Page quickly unhooks one of his arms and hangs onto the middle rope for dear life.

Kris Cruise: Great ring awareness there by Page!

Stephy Auger: This match was potentially seconds away from behind over if she was able to hit that move!

After climbing down off of Page’s back, Mia nails him with a knee strike to the midsection. After pushing him into the corner, she delivers a series of alternating Thai Knees to the midsection. Mia competes the combo with a jumping Thai Knee to the face. She then takes Page and whips him into the opposite corner. Mia then runs across the ring. But Page steps out, grabs her and delivers an exploder suplex into the turnbuckles into the turnbuckles.

Kris Cruise: My goodness, what a move that way!

Stephy Auger: Page just flung Mia over his back and into those turnbuckles. But I don't know what was worse - getting suplexed into the turnbuckles or landing on the mat afterwords?

Page grabs her by the hair, drags her from out of the corner and makes the cover

ONE!

Mia gets her shoulder up to cheers from the crowd.

Page picks her up, only to deliver a headbutt that sends her stumbling back into the corner. After a double chop to the throat, Page delivers a series of knee strikes to the midsection.

Page then delivers a kick to the ribs, sending Mia over the bottom rope and out onto the apron.

Page reaches through the ropes and goes to pull up Mia. But Mia quickly grabs a hold of him, jumps up and applies a hanging cross armbar over the top rope. The crowd cheers as Page can be heard groaning in pain. However, the ref has to give her until the count of five to break the hold.

ref: ONE… TWO…. THREE… FOUR…

Mia lets go, sending Page stumbling away from the ropes as he clutches his arm.

Kris Cruise: Excellent submission counter by Mia. But because it was before on the ropes, she was forced to break the hold.

Stephy Auger: But she's not done yet...

Once Mia gets back in the ring, she runs over, turns Page around and brings him down with a rolling cross armbar. The crowd cheers as Mia tries to break Page’s arm. But Page keeps his fingers locked. He then rolls over before getting on his feet. He then hoists Mia up and slams her down on her back, breaking the hold to boos from the crowd. Once he’s free, Page stumbles back into the corner as he continues to clutch his arm. Once Mia gets back up to her feet, she runs into the corner and connects with a Shining Wizard.

While Mia is doubled over, Page leads her from out of the corner before lifting her onto his shoulders.

Stephy Auger: Could he be going for the turnbuckle powerbomb?

Before Page can deliver a turnbuckle powerbomb, Mia reaches down and delivers 12-to-6 elbows to the head until she falls down on top of Page. But Mia continues her assault as she mounts herself on top of Page, hammering away with more 12-to-6 elbows to cheers from the crowd. She then turns over and makes the cover.

Page picks up Mia and connects with a forearm strike. But Mia comes right back with a forearm strike of her own. Page then nails her with another forearm strike.

Stephy Auger: You know Noelle's got to be in the back right now watching every second of this tape. Noelle's is a sweet girl. But she's got to get tough in there against Mia at A New Odyssey. This won't be the two of them in the back half of a gauntlet match. It's going to be both grapplers going into that match fresh. I just hope she's ready. She's gotten the better of Mia before. But can she do it a second time?

"Can You Feel My Heart" blares throughout the arena as the crowd erupts in boos.

J.A. Aldridge: Here is your winner, JIMMY PAGE!

Page gets his arm raised to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: FGA was once again victorious. But it was nowhere near as easy as Page made it out to be.

Stephy Auger: No it wans't. Mia has been in FGA for quite some time. She's performed well before but tonight may have been her coming out party. She didn't back down from Page. She let him know that she wasn't afraid of him. She had a couple of great counters there. But Page had one of his own at the end there. And once he hit that turnbuckle bomb, followed by the Trauma Symphony, it was pretty much over from there.

Kris Cruise: Page heads into A New Odyssey with some much needed momentum. But will it be enough? This is the first time that the FGA World Championship will be defended in a Fatal 4-Way Match. There are no eliminations. First fall to a finish wins. Page doesn't even have to be pinned or submitted to lose his title. When you look at it like that, the odds aren't in his favor. But some would say that the odds in life have never been in his favor and look at him now. 2014 ORC Male Wrestler of the Year. 2014 FGA Wrestler of the Year and one of the most dominant, if not the most dominant champion this company has ever seen. Do Chandler Scott, Johnny Karma or Sean Sands hold the key to defeating Jimmy Page for the World Championship? Or will Page add three more names to the list of men and woman that have tried and failed to take that championship from him? For Stephy Auger, I'm Kris Cruise. We'll see you in two weeks at 2015: A New Oddysey!
