Dynamic Duos First Round Match
Whiskey Dex vs. Luke Jackson & Jessica Sears

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! It is a First Round Match in the Dynamic Duos Tournament! Introducing first, from Oakland California! Weighing in at 165 pounds! He is LUKE “THE KID” JACKSON!

Luke 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.

In a sporadic moment, the arena lights go out and the fans rise in heightened anticipation. An animated AI voice resonates an important announcement.

PLAYER 1: CuteGamingBlond
P R E S S S T A R T

Silence. The fans are stirring in high anticipation of what comes next. That’s when the introduction of “Plane to Spain” by Basshunter kickstarts from the speakers and the gaming techno builds the hype of the fans. Soon a single spotlight shines down on the stage and reveals Jessica Sears wielding her Captain America shield with her right arm and holding her Eternal Tiare in her right hand. The fans cheer with excitement and she beams at them. She moves down on her left knee and balances the Eternal Tiare in both hands. She spins herself around in a 180-degree turn, her T.A.R.D.I.S. skirt flowing, and reveals the angel wings on the back of her Daryl Dixon jacket. She whirls around to face forward, the camera getting a shot of her Squall Leonhart Griever necklace and her blue R.P.D. blouse. Holding the Eternal Tiare high, the fans are going wild!

J.A. Aldridge: And his partner, now residing out of New York City, New York! Weighing in at 106 pounds! She is the “CuteGamingBlonde”... JESSICA SEARS!

Jessica grins as she makes her way down the ramp in her glow-in-the-dark Green Lantern Converse, tagging as many of the fans as she possibly can. She circles around the ring to continue interacting with the fans a little longer before she makes a complete circle. She ascends the steel steps and climbs through the ropes to move to the center of the ring. She raises the Eternal Tiare in her left hand and raises the Captain America shield on her right arm before she crosses them, the shield behind the tiare. Slowly the lights return as the fans cheer for her. Jessica then proceeds to relinquish the shield, the tiare, the necklace, and the jacket for an official standing by. She smiles as she hops onto one of the turnbuckles and waits patiently yet readily for the match to begin.

Kris Cruise: The team of Luke Jackson & Jessica Sears have a big test ahead of them in our fourth and last match in the first round of the Dynamic Duos Tournament.

Stephy Auger: You've got that right. They're pretty much at a disadvantage on all fronts. But I don't expect these kids to go down without a fight. They'll give Whiskey Dex everything they've got and then some.

“Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza” hits over the loudspeakers, the lights dimmed somewhat as the opening guitars kick in. When the verse begins, Dexter Jacobs steps out from the entryway, with Whiskey Ayano following just behind. The two share a glance before Whiskey produces a bottle of hard liquor and a lighter. She takes a swig and holds up the lighter, creating a large gout of flame as she spits it out into the air. Dex merely shakes his head, rolling his eyes at the display before cracking his neck and heading down to the ring, Whiskey taking a moment to pose before coming down as well.

J.A. Aldridge: And their opponents, weighing in at a total combined weight of 421 pounds! They are the team of Whiskey Ayano and Dexter Jacobs, WHISKEY DEX!

Dex slides in and immediately heads to the corner, where he mounts the turnbuckles and raises a fist in the air as Whiskey follows suit, leaning on the ropes near him and taking another swig. She offers a pull to Dex as he hops down off the ropes, and depending on his mood, he’ll either accept and take a swig or brush her off before the two take a moment to prepare before the match begins.

Kris Cruise: If you were going to ask people which team was likely to explode and turn on each other before this tournament began, Whiskey Dex would probably have won in a landslide.

Stephy Auger: Definitely. You can still feel the tension in the air between these two. But unfortunately for their opponents, these two have bonded over being pissed off, screwed over and spat upon. While they don't have the opportunity to get back at those people in this ring tonight, they're looking to have Luke & Jess serve as adequate replacements.

The bell sounds as Whiskey locks in on Jackson while Dex flashes Sears a grim sneer. Both Jackson & Sears look at each other before taking a few steps back.

Kris Cruise: Uh oh. I think Luke and Jessica just realized they might be in over their hands.

Stephanie Auger: I can’t say I blame them. if I saw Whiskey Ayano and Dexter Jacobs staring across the ring at me, I’d be nervous, too.

Whiskey Dex begin to march across the ring. Before they can even attack Jackson & Sears, their opponents drop and roll to the outside. But Whiskey Dex aren’t about to let Jackson & Sears create distance between the two teams. So they head to the outside.

Kris Cruise: Luke and Jess looked like they were trying to create some space. But Whiskey Dex quickly sniffed that plan out.

Stephanie Auger: Yeah, these two aren’t about to give Luke and Jess any breathing room.

After Jackson & Sears roll back in, Whiskey Dex do the same. As Dex gets back to a vertical base, Jackson & Sears run over and connect with a double dropkick, sending him stumbling through the ropes and to the floor to cheers from the crowd. Whiskey then runs over at the two. But Jackson & Sears knock her down with a double dropkick as well. They then pick up Whiskey and whip her into the ropes. But instead of coming back, Dex yanks her down to the canvas and pulls her out of the ring. He then rolls back into the ring, where he’s greeted with stomps by Jackson & Sears.

Kris Cruise: What did he do that for?

Stephanie Auger: I think he took exception to them knocking him out of the ring. If anyone is going to get a crack at Luke and Jess first, it’s going to be Dexter.

Jackson & Sears pick up Dex and whip him into the ropes. When he comes back, Jackson & Sears bend over to set up a double back body drop. But Dex stops and kicks Sears square in the face, knocking her down. Jackson sees this, so he stands up. Dex then lunges forward with a clothesline, but Jackson ducks. Dex then turns and throws a hard hook at Jackson’s head. But Jackson ducks. Dex then takes another swipe at Jackson but again, Jackson ducks.

Kris Cruise: Luke better be lucky he’s missing these hard shots or else his head would be about ten rows in the audience right now.

When Dex turns around, Jackson connects with a dropkick. But Dex only stumbles back. So Jackson runs over and connects with another dropkick. But again, Dex only stumbles back. So Jackson goes for a third dropkick. But Dex side steps and swats him down. Jackson tries to get up on all fours, but Dex nails him with a kick to the ribs.

Stephanie Auger: Luke tried to go to the well one too many times there and Dexter made him pay.

Dex reaches down, picks up Jackson by the back of the neck, runs into the corner and slams him face-first into the top turnbuckle. He slams Jackson so hard that Jackson ends up bouncing back and falling to the canvas. So Dex goes over, yanks up Jackson and flings him back into the corner. He then marches back over to Jackson and doubles him over with an uppercut to the body. Dex then stands up Jackson before rocking him with a back elbow to the jaw. He then unleashes a series of right and left hooks to the body. Dex then takes Jackson and whips him into the opposite corner. Dex runs across the ring, but Jackson nails him with a boot to the face. As Dex stumbles back, Jackson heads from out of the corner and bounces off the ropes. When he comes back, Dex throws him down with a snap powerslam. The crowd cheers as he hooks the leg.

ONE!

Jackson gets his shoulder up.

Dex picks up Jackson and places him in a side headlock. As Dex cinches in the hold, the ref asks Jackson if he wants to give up. But Jackson refuses to quit. He then tries to push Dex off of him, but it’s to no avail. Jackson tries to shove Dex off of him a second time but again, it’s to no avail. Whiskey then reaches over and delivers a hard slap across Dex’s back, tagging herself in. Once the Deep-South Dragon gets back in the ring, she delivers a hard shot to the body. She then delivers a snapmare, followed by a soccer kick to the back. She then delivers a shoot kick to the chest, knocking Jackson flush against the canvas before delivering a knee drop. She makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Jackson gets his shoulder up.

Stephanie Auger: This match has been all Whiskey Dex since the get go. What do Luke and Jessica need to do to turn the tide?

Kris Cruise: This is going to be hard for them. You combine the experience of Luke and Jess and it doesn’t equal Whiskey or Dexter, so they’re at a disadvantage there. They’re not going to win a brawl against either of these two, so that’s another disadvantage. They’ve definitely got speed over Whiskey Dex. But the two of them have grounded Luke for the early portion of this match. They’re technically a better team in the fact that they’ve teamed longer and know how to get along. But again, Whiskey Dex have effectively cut off the ring. So I don’t know.

Whiskey picks up Jackson and whips him into the ropes, where Sears makes the bling tag. When Jackson comes back, he slides through Whiskey’s legs. When Whiskey turns around, Jackson gets up and runs at her. Whiskey throws a Uraken backfist. But Jackson ducks and slides out underneath the bottom rope. When Whiskey turns around, Sears knocks her down with a springboard dropkick to cheers from the crowd. She makes the cover.

Stephanie Auger: The team of Luke and Jess are now starting to gain a little momentum here!

Sears picks up Whiskey and goes for an irish whip. But Whiskey reverses, sending Sears into the ropes. When Sears comes back, Whiskey throws her down with a Japanese arm drag. Sears gets back up, but Whiskey sends her back down with another Japanese arm drag. When Sears gets back up, Whiskey takes her down with a Fujiwara armbar. The crowd cheers as Whiskey pulls back on the arm. But Sears is fairly close to the ropes. So she reaches her right leg over and places it on the bottom rope. The ref then gives Whiskey until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR....

Whiskey breaks the hold. After picking up Sears and moving her into the corner, she unleashes a series of shoot kicks to the midsection. She then brings Sears from out of the corner, wrenches her arm and reaches her hand out for the tag.

Dex tags in with a hard slap across Whiskey’s palm. He then steps back in and delivers a nasty shot to Sears’ liver, sending her crumbling down on all fours. After a stomp to the back of the head, Dex brings Sears back to feet and shoves her into the corner. After a series of knee strikes to the midsection, he brings Sears from out of the corner and whips her into the ropes. When Sears comes back, he throws out a wild swipe at her head. But Sears ducks and runs into the ropes. When she comes back, she gets knocked down by a back elbow to the face. Dex then drops down and makes the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Sears gets her shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Sears got rocked by that back elbow to the jaw. But she got her shoulder up at two. This is the final match in the first round of the Dynamic Duos Tournament. The winners here will go on to face the team of Chris Bond & Jason Bronco in the semifinals. Who do you think Bond & Bronco would prefer to face?

Stephanie Auger: Well they pulled off the upset tonight against the heavily favored Knights of Anarchy. I feel like since they beat them, they feel like they could beat any team left in this tournament. With that being said, they’d probably want to face Luke and Jess.

Dex picks up Sears and lifts her in the air. After holding her in place for a good 10 seconds, Dex falls back, completing the stalling vertical suplex as the crowd applauds. As Sears lays helpless on the apron, Dex gets up and circles her before delivering a Garvin Stomp. He then heads back over and tags Whiskey back in. Once Whiskey gets in, Dex picks up Sears and whips her into the ropes. When she comes back, Whiskey Dex deliver Hang Em High. Whiskey makes the cover.

Sears picks up Whiskey and whips her into the ropes. But instead of bouncing back, Whiskey hangs onto the ropes. So Sears runs over to attack. But Whiskey ducks and dumps Sears over the top rope and to the floor.

Stephanie Auger: Sears with a bit of a hard fall to the outside. That could spell bad news for her and Luke, depending on her hurt she is.

Kris Cruise: What’s Whiskey setting up for here?

As Sears gets up on the outside, Whiskey steps out onto the apron. She then runs along the apron before going for a rolling plancha. But Sears moves out of the way, causing Whiskey to crash onto the floor. The crowd cheers as Whiskey arches her back on the floor.

Kris Cruise: Whiskey looked to take out Sears with that rolling plancha. But Sears wisely got out of the way.

As Whiskey gets up on the floor, Sears climbs up onto the apron. After looking back at Whiskey, she knocks her down with the Wings of Kennedy to cheers from the crowd. She then picks up Whiskey, rolls her back into the ring, rolls herself back in and makes the cover.

When Whiskey comes back, they deliver a double back body drop. As Sears heads out onto the apron, Jackson goes over and makes the cover. But Whiskey isn’t the legal man. While Jackson is looking at the ref and telling him to make the count, Dex comes in from behind. He stands over Jackson, reaches down, grabs him and delivers a deadlift german suplex. The crowd cheers makes the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

.
Jackson gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Great display of strength there by Jacobs. But Jackson got his shoulder up at two.
Stephanie Auger: It seems like every time Luke and Jess start to get even the slightest bit of momentum, Whiskey Dex are right there to cut him off. For a team that’s never tagged before, they seem to be working surprisingly well here tonight.

Kris Cruise: Which is surprising, given that most thought these two would implode before the opening bell.

Dex picks up Jackson and nails him with a knee to the midsection, doubling him over. He then runs into the ropes. When Dex comes back, he goes for a running knee lift. But Jackson moves out of the way and hooks Dex’s arms from behind. Dex grits his teeth as he tries to block the move.

This this, Dex is sent stumbling back into the corner. Jackson then goes over, grabs Dex and whips him into the opposite corner. He then runs across the ring, but Dex nails him with an elbow to the face. As Jackson stumbles back, Dex runs from out of the corner and gives Jackson a hard boot to the face, knocking him down.

Kris Cruise: Jackson and Sears are starting to take control of this match. But they still can’t keep Jacobs down for three.

Sears picks up Dex and whips him into the ropes. When he comes back, she sets up for a back body drop. But Dex kicks her square in the face. When Sears stands up, Dex follows up with And Hell Followed With Him, turning Sears inside out to cheers from the crowd.

As Sears slowly turns over, Dex gets up to his feet and staggers back into the corner, where Whiskey tags herself back in. After getting in the ring, she sees Sears trying to crawl towards her corner. So Whiskey rushes over, drags Sears back by her ankle and then mounts her back, where she proceeds to rain down elbows to the back of Sears’ head and neck. Whiskey then turns her over and makes the cover.

After picking up Whiskey, Jackson whips her into the ropes. When she comes back, he goes to set up a back body drop. But Whiskey stops, lifts him up and plants him with a piledriver.

Stephanie Auger: Whiskey drops him right on his head with that piledriver. That might be all she wrote for The Kid…

After Jackson flips over and falls down in the corner, Whiskey steps back in through the ropes and heads towards the center of the ring. She then charges into the corner before connecting with the corner cannonball to cheers from the crowd.

When Whiskey goes to pick up Sears, Sears jumps up and rocks her with a European Uppercut. She then takes Whiskey and goes for an irish whip. But Whiskey reverses, sending Sears into the ropes. When Sears comes back, Whiskey Dex deliver a drop toe hold/basement dropkick combo. As Whiskey tries to get back up, Dex grabs her around the waist and launches her into Jackson, delivering The Fastball Special.

Stephanie Auger: Dex just flung Whiskey with reckless abandon into Luke. I don’t even think Whiskey knew that one was coming.

Kris Cruise: But it worked…

After Whiskey makes her way out of the corner, Whiskey Dex proceed to circle Sears as she tries to get back up. The two then charge at her from opposite directions, delivering the Highs and Lows.

The ref stands in between Dex and Whiskey and raise their arms as the crowd cheers.

Kris Cruise: Whiskey Dex pick up the victory, securing themselves a spot in the semifinals!

Stephanie Auger: Whiskey Dex were the favorite coming into this match. But Luke and Jess didn’t back down at all. They brought the fight to Whiskey Dex like few thought they could. I’m proud of these two.

Kris Cruise: They definitely have nothing to be ashamed about. So now, the stage has been set. In two weeks, we will pick up with the semifinals of the 2015 Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament! In one match, you have the winners of this match, Whiskey Dex, taking on the team of Chris Bond and Jason Bronco! In the other semifinal match, you have The Herreras, Dan and Hadley Herrera going up against the team of Vanagloria, Kitty Sasso and Christian Kane! I could see any of these teams making it to the finals. But we will find out for certain who advances and who doesn’t in two weeks when FGA makes its debut in Prescott, Arizona!

(We're with Laurel Anne Hardy, but she's neither heading for the ring nor hovering backstage. In fact, she's not in the Cal Farley Coliseum at all - she's sitting in a bar booth. She's in street clothes and the FGA World Tag Team Championship is nowhere to be seen, but on the table in front of her are no shortage of empty sake cups and bottles of Asahi Gold. Her cheeks are rosy and she's laughing; this is perhaps the happiest we've seen her in months. Someone is chattering offscreen, and Laurel sticks out her tongue in their direction.)

Laurel Anne Hardy: Noriko! Urusai! Doin' the... the thing!

(After a second or two of further confusion, Laurel waves her friend into silence then turns to the camera.)

Laurel Anne Hardy: Ey bitches. Sup. Hope you're enjoyin' the show. Howbout... erm, whatever that thing that just happened was, huh? Pretty crazy stuff!

(She shrugs.)

Laurel Anne Hardy: Eh, truth be told I'm actually recording this about a week ago. It's Saturday the 23rd for me right now; I'm in Tokyo to defend the G/P Most Brutal Championship. When you guys see this a week from now, I'll be one step away from victory in Global Championship Wrestling's big annual Best of the Best tournament - an' the truly singular pleasure of throwin' a big fat spanner in the plans of Camelot. But I still love you, FGA, I love all you motherfuckers - minus one or two fratbags - even though I ain't there I still love you, I promise! And it's with love that I come to you with a little proposition.

(She rolls her neck for a moment.)

Laurel Anne Hardy: It's been a while since I've bled for you. Been a while since I've given you the kinda performance my name is sung about in epic verse for. Been a while, let's be honest, since I've had some fun. So let's do some'n about that, yeh? Last autumn, Pro Wrestling Project played host to a very special match, a match very near an' dear to me, in which five of my friends helped me do things that had never been done. Feel things I'd never felt. We opened a window sideways to spacetime, forced back the event horizon of what professional wrestling can be. Six fighters, one fall, no rules. Jamie Steel versus Matt Kail versus Suzume Mitsuyoshi versus Whiskey Ayano versus Zack Lifer versus yours truly in an hour of breakneck-paced, crimson-faced, beautifully debased deathmatch insanity an' one of the most critically acclaimed matches of 2014.

(The Tag Team Champion grins.)

Laurel Anne Hardy: I think the time has come to do it again - to suffer in the name of art. An' I think FGA is just the place to do it. So consider this the open call: anyone who wants to make some magic, make some history, make some of the most brutalist, bloodthirsty art in the entire annals of our medium... come see me. Let's paint the joint red, ladies an' gents.

(She winks, Noriko mumbles something from offscreen, and the image blinks out.)

MAIN EVENT
Zero McHannon vs. 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.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening! 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.

Kris Cruise: Colton Sterling was more or less saved by Zero McHannon from a 3 on 1 beatdown in the Gold Rush Rumble. But after getting suckere din by a handshake, Sterling quickly found himself thrown out of the ring and eliminated by McHannon.

Stephanie Auger: It was a tough lesson that Sterling learned that night. But Sterling took it in stride. However, you’ve got to think that deep down, Sterling is looking for some measure of revenge tonight.

“This Means War” by Avenged Sevenfold hits the speakers. The music picks up a little bit, but eventually slows back down and to a complete stop after half a minute. The bass hits again, this time it lights up the top of the ramp in a bright white light as Zero McHannon walks through the curtain with his manager, Gambino, walking out shortly after him.

“Hide my face again, habor in the shadows,
Feel this weight of sin, hammering away...

DIEEE!! With the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers,
DIEEE!! Watch the scythe usher me astray…”

Gambino is standing on one side of the ramp, trying to pump the crowd up as Zero makes his way down the rampway. He reaches out to his right, letting the fans reach over the barrier to touch him, then he does the same with his left. Zero makes his way to the bottom, touches the ring post, and slides into the ring on the side. He instantly bounces to his feet after sliding in, while Gambino takes the steps to the ring.

“I can’t go on this way,
Not as I am today,
The ugly side of me is strong....

Take aim a loaded gun,
Pulls back on all who run,
A coward’s truth inside the wrong...”

Zero McHannon climbs the nearest turnbuckle spread his arms and begins to yell towards the crowd as they do their best to cheer over him. He freezes for a moment, taking in the atmosphere, then hops from the corner ropes, and tests the mat under his feet. He is talking to himself as he crosses the ring and stands up on this turnbuckle, pointing to the crowd, and slapping himself in the chest. Finally, he hops down and meets up with his manager in the middle of the ring.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, now residing out of Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds… ZERO MCHANNON!

THIS MEANS WARRRR!!!

In the middle of the ring, his manager gives Zero some hard taps in the head, trying to psych him up for the match ahead. Once it seems like he is ready, he goes to his corner to wait for the start of the match, stretching himself out at the turnbuckle.

Kris Cruise: Zero McHannon has made quite the impact since returning to the wrestling world a little under a month ago.

Stephanie Auger: Many thought that if Zero every resurfaced in wrestling, there were a number of notable places that he’d go to. Maybe he would try and settle some differences in past promotions that he competed in. But instead, he turned heads when he showed up here in FGA. Then a Glory Road, he set the record for the most eliminations in the Gold Rush Rumble. Zero says that he came here to FGA to prove himself as one of the best. If you ask me, he’s well on his way...
