Lights go out in the entire arena, as AC/DC's "Thunderstuck" starts to blare over the PA. Smoke then starts to pour down the aisle as high quality laser lights pan back and fourth giving sight. Johnny Brave walks through the curtains as fans cheer him on. He then moves his arms in a warm-up manner, then dashes towards the ring with his arms out clapping the fans hands.
Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois.... Weighing in at 215 pounds.... "Lights Out" JOHNNY BRAVE!
When he gets to the ring, Johnny Brave dives through the bottom rope, letting his body slide to mid-center ring. He then raises his right hand to more cheers for the fans. The high quality laser lights come to an end as the arena's light slowly fades on.
Clement: There's not much difference between Johnny Brave and his opponent for tonight. Both men are young and hungry. Both men started out in 2012. And both men have the whole world ahead of him.
Grayson: Not much difference? Not much difference? One guy had a seven match undefeated streak. One man was the FGA Heavyweight Champion. The other is Johnny freaking Brave. OF COURSE there's a difference, and Tomkins will show exactly that when he wipes the map with Brave tonight....
"Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach hits, and the lights around the entrance go out. When they come up, Michael Tomkins stands still wearing his black leather jacket with the words "3 Seconds" embroided on the back. Looking from left to right, an arrogant smile crosses his face in reception to the crowd's boos. He milks in the negative response, before heading down to the ring. Timmy Brown then appears from behind the curtain, to an even more intense chorus of boos which he ignores, heading briskly to the ring.
Cruz: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by "Electric" Timmy Brown..... from London, England.... Weighing in at 225 pounds.... He is "The Rogue" MICHAEL TOMKINS!
Michael climbs to the top rope, looking around the crowd before raising one arm, holding up three fingers. Taking in the moment, he closes his eyes, before jumping back down, ready to start his match.
Clement: Here comes Michael Tomkins with his mentor, Timmy Brown. You know, when we all saw the split between Timmy and Mike back at A New Odyssey, we thought that was it between the two. But after Timmy turned on Mike and aligned with his rival Micky O'Reilly, Timmy turned on O'Reilly and sided with Tomkins again. That hasn't set well with O'Reilly, who we heard earlier today issued a challenge to Tomkins for another Street Fight. But from what we've heard, Tomkins wants no part of it.
Grayson: And why would he?
Clement: Because he's claimed himself as the best wrestler in FGA for the past three months.
Grayson: And that's it right there. The best wrestler. He's not the best fighter. He's not the best high flyer. He isn't a brawler. He is a wrestler. So why would he go into another Street Fight, which is exactly what O'Reilly wants? No, if Micky wants another shot at him, it's got to be on his terms. That means straight up, one on one, with rules and regulations.
Clement: So basically Tomkins wants to hide behind rules and referees because he's afraid of Micky. Got it...

Clement: Johnny Brave is absolutely taking it to the so-called Raise The Bar Superstar! You think he doesn't want it? You think he doesn't know how big of a match this is?
