Spencer Burke Voiceover: Last time on Vertigo! … a ticked off Whiskey Desk laid down the challenge!

Dexter Jacobs: Pissed off. S’ only way ‘at accurately describes how we’re feelin’ right now, comin’ off the heels of Above ‘n Beyond IV. Pissed off, that after everythin’ we said...we didn’t walk out with the closure that we wanted. Pissed off, that when we left with them belts, RIGHTFULLY, no matter how much you hear the spin doctorin’....I had t’ listen back on the tape an’ hear Kris Cruise an’ Stephy Auger act like we stole somethin’. Like we didn’t deserve t’ leave with these championship belts, even after the tape tol’ the story. Then we gotta listen t’ Annie Zellor come on camera an’ try an’ pretend that what happened at the end of that match, that that...less ‘n satisfactory finish...Wasn’t anythin’ but karma, comin’ back t’ bite her in the ass. Like we ain’t have a DAMN thing t’ do with why the Sparklebuddies didn’t leave with these championships back ‘round their waists, where God ‘n everybody seems t’ believe they belong. Much as bein’ disrespected and discounted and treated like some kinda Goddamn lucky afterthought gets t’ me, what makes me mad as Hell...an’ Whiskey, too...is the fact that in the end of the night, nobody got they questions answered. NOBODY.

Whiskey Ayano: Whiskey and-u Dex-kun can spend hours on end pointing out-u the incompetence of the cameramen or the announcers in-u regards to Whiskey throwing her arm over Laurel, or how they keep-u passively mentioning we’re lucky… but-u Dex has the right idea, we’re gonna move on past-u that because sadly… the FGA as an entity wants to see us fail, so what we’re going to do is deprive them-u of what they want. We’re going to remain the champs despite how badly they want-u us gone, we’re going to be the name-u on everybody’s lips when they talk about-u the defining, dominant reign in FGA’s tag division, and we’re going to throw it-u right back into their faces, but the first step is to erase any doubt. To let-u the fans, the announcers and-u the people in head office know that Whiskey Dex isn’t just a flash in the pan-u, that we aren’t planning to leave and fade away just-u because us being here is inconvenient to your regular talent… better than your regular talent…

She takes a deep breath in.

Whiskey Ayano:... and that means Whiskey Dex versus Sparklebuddies part three… no additional teams, no bullsh*t-u… and leaving no illusions that Whiskey Dex win. That-u we hit the ring and drive Laurel and-u Annie-chan into the mat with such ferocity that-u not even Stephy and-u Kris could fuck up the call when-u we get the three count.

Dex nods his head, holding his championship up.

Dexter Jacobs: There it is. We’re layin’ down the challenge this time. Us, an’ Laurel & Annie...In a match where there ain’t gonna be any questions. Where there won’t be any chance for dispute. Where there can’t be a singular shadow of a damn doubt who the better team is. Us, against the Sparklebuddies, Final Frontier….For these here straps… Best two out of three falls. Only way t’ resolve this. Only way for us t’ prove beyond a shadow of a doubt ain’t ANY team better in the world. Only way for us t’ prove that we are not jus’ the best tag team in the world, but t’ force FGA an’ the world at large t’ give us the respect we deserve. No third party additions. No distractions. No endings for anybody t’ dispute. The best team rises t’ the top, with undisputable proof that they are the top tag team in the world today...An’ with these here championships t’ show for it. Plain an’ simple. No excuses. No more hemmin’ an’ hawin’. More playin’ t’ the party line. Come Final Frontier, we’re walkin’ out with PROOF we are the better team….An’ the Goddamn respect we deserve.

Spencer Burke Voiceover: Is there truly an anti-Whiskey Dex sentiment in FGA? Does the FGA Office have it out for both Dexter Jacobs and Whiskey Aynao? Will the #sparklebuddies accept?

Spencer Burke Voiceover: A passionate Johnny Karma speaks his mind!

Johnny Karma: And that's the thing that gets me: ever since I first walked through the doors here I have stolen the show from under the noses of the so-called "stars" by having the best match time after time after time, I've done more to make a show worth watching by saying a few words on the microphone than a whole army of people who promised big things but delivered nothing, and I've got to where I am not with some gimmick or by buddying up to the right people or thinking that setting fire to the ring was the best way to make a first impression, but because being Johnny Karma is more than good enough to rise through the ranks and if people can’t see that for themselves then it’s not my problem, but theirs. And because it’s their problem, I’m going to say this: I didn’t have a match for this show, but I showed up because that’s the sort of guy I am – but the next show? I’ve got a whole bunch of stuff that I need to get straight in my head right now, so…sorry White Plains, but I’m taking my first show off in over a year.

I just hope for everyone’s sake that when I come back, there’s actually a Frontier Wrestling Arts to come back to, because the last I saw at Above & Beyond, it was looking like a triage unit backstage because some beardy weirdy took out Cordy Stevenson and Sean Sands during the night, some yutzi took out Shunkeeti and Izzy Anders, and that’s not what I signed up for. I signed up because I want to prove myself to be the best wrestler this company can offer, instead we’ve got a couple of people deciding they want to recreate The Warriors on our shows and they’re fighting amongst themselves to see who gets to be the Baseball Furies while everyone who happens to be standing within ten feet of them gets to be The Orphans – and what gets me is that it doesn’t seem to matter that they dumped various people with actual talent on the injured list, because they’re walking around like nothing happened. In short, rather than walk in the door and do my thing only to find myself getting ignored, instead I’m standing here telling you that I’m mad as heck and I’m not going to take it any more - and if taking a couple of shows off is what it takes for people to realize what they’re missing, that’s what I’m going to have to do.

Having said his piece, Karma crouches down and places the microphone in the middle of the ring, before he steps through the ring ropes and walks up the ramp and heads out of the arena

Spencer Burke Voiceover: When will we see the return of The Karmic Lion?

Spencer Burke Voiceover: Annie Zellor defeated Jimmy Page… again!

Page powers out, shoving Annie away. Both competitors scramble back to their feet. Page gets up first and doubles the rising Annie over with a boot to the gut before delivering an exploder suplex! The referee is still down however, so Page leaves Annie down in the center of the ring as he makes his way towards the corner … and starts the removes the top turnbuckle pad. The fans begin to boo again, louder than before, as Jimmy turns his attention back towards Annie. He drags her to her feet and whips her towards the exposed turnbuckle – NO! Annie floats over the top as Page charges in, and he hits the turnbuckle chest first. Page staggers back, holding his sternum in agony as Annie dropkicks him in the back, sending Page head first into the exposed steel! He slumps down against the corner, and Annie executes a discus clothesline before hitting Page with a bulldog!

Stephy Auger: Annie’s Gots Skillz!

Page is dazed, but staggers back to his feet as Annie steadies herself, having caught her second wind. She leaps up and nails Page with the Sparkle Princess Special! But that only drops Jimmy Page to one knee. Annie gets back up, and nails her opponent with another Sparkle Princess Special! This time Page goes down as Annie crawls over and makes the cover.

Kris Cruise: But the referee is still down.

Stephy Auger: Wait a second…

A second official barrels down the aisle, sliding into the ring as he makes a cover.

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

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match and advancing to the round robin tournament, ANNIE ZELLOR!

Spencer Burke Voiceover: … or so we thought!

The referee raises her arm into the air as the fans are giving Zellor a standing ovation. The original referee begins to stir however, and he sees Zellor with her arm raised in victory. The first referee signals for Aldridge to come closer before whispering something to him.

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been informed by the referee that Annie Zellor has been disqualified for striking an official …

Kris Cruise: What?

J.A. Aldridge: …therefore, the winner of this match by the result of a disqualification, and advancing through to the round robin, JIMMY PAGE!

The crowd begin to boo again, and Zellor looks to the referee in shock and disappointment. But he’s adamant that she struck him, and the disqualification stands. “They Are Lost” begins to play again as Page rolls out of the ring, cackling as he watches Annie and the referee arguing in the center of the ring.

Stephy Auger: This is a travesty…

Kris Cruise: Jimmy Page advancing to the round robin on a technicality, and Annie Zellor must be crushed right now.

Stephy Auger: I can’t imagine how she feels, Kris. Nor can I imagine how relieved Jimmy Page must be feeling right now.

Page keeps his eyes locked on Annie as she turns to glare up the aisle; there’s a moment of tension, until Page laughs out loud again, and passes through the curtain.

Spencer Burke Voiceover: Now, The self-proclaimed King of the F’n World is two matches away from getting a shot at the World Championship!

Spencer Burke Voiceover: Sean Sands has words for an old rival!

Stephy Auger: And the Compactor connects! Surely, Chris Q is done here...

Kris Cruise: You know very well he’s not done. You know what’s coming next.

Q quickly exits the ring and walks over to where J.A. Aldridge is standing and shoves him out of his chair before taking it and folding it up. He throws it into the ring before sliding back in himself. Q then drags Shelby towards a nearby corner and begins to place a steel chair around Shelby’s leg...before “Burn Brighter” by Landsdowne hits!

Stephy Auger: He’s here! Sean Sands is here!

Sean Sands runs through the curtains and straight towards the ring, his forehead now bandage-less. He quickly slides in just as Q slides out, getting another round of boos from the audience. Sean stares down Chris and motions for him to enter the ring, only for Q to shake his head and deny him of the opportunity to get his hands him. Sean, keeping one eye on Chris, walks over to Tom and removes the chair off of his leg...before tossing it in Q’s direction, though Q just moves out of the way to dodge it. Sands, looking enraged, calls for a mic and is immediately handed one before turning his attention back to Q.

Sean Sands: You go ahead and run, Chris. You keep running until you can’t run anymore. You keep running and making this more difficult on yourself. You keep on letting me stew in this anger that I feel towards you. Cause in the end? I’m going to get my hands on you, you stupid son of a bitch.

Sean then points right at Q.

Sean Sands: And I promise...I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!

Sean drops the mic as his theme hits once again and he and Q have a staredown while medics check on Tom Shelby.

Spencer Burke Voiceover: And the main event for the 4 Year Anniversary Show has been set!

Chandler Scott: In just a few weeks at the Four Year Anniversary Show, you FGA fans are going to have the honor and the privilege of seeing the two best athletes in FGA going at it. That’s right, at the Four Year Anniversary Show, it’s going to be yours truly taking on Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine. Imagine that. The last two Frats left standing… headlining an event like this. Tony Carmine, your Pride Champion, battling it out against Chandler Scott, your World Champion. Man, what a time to be alive.

Sunshine Tony: So it would be my honor to face my frat. My bro. My compadre at the Four Year Anniversary show. I’m letting you know right now Scotty, I’m not Cordy Stevenson. You won’t be seeing the Scandalous One on the pity tour these next few weeks. No sit down tell-all interviews where Spencer Burke asks the tough questions. No baby pictures. No home movies. No highlight reels. What for? These people know how good we are and it’s time we put the two most active ingredients for FGA’s success and throw them in the pot.

Spencer Burke Voiceover: What will happen tonight? Find out next… on VERTIGO!

¡Uno!
¡Dos!
¡Tres!
¡Catorce!

Hello hello
(Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(Donde esta?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

The feed pans around the Westchester County Center, capturing the excited crowd. An FGA chant breaks out throughout several sections of the crowd while we transition to the ringside area, where Kris Cruise and Stephy Auger are standing by...

Kris Cruise: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another edition of Vertigo, here on WGN America. I'm Kris Cruise alongside Stephy Auger, and what a show we have for you tonight.

Stephy Auger: Tonight, we've got our second Round Robin Challenge Eliminator when Zero McHannon goes one on one with The Tenacious Little Bastard, Dom Harter! There's no love lost between these two. With so much on the line, this match should be explosive!

Kris Cruise: Also tonight, we've got World Champion Chandler Scott taking on Yun Goeun in non-title action!

Stephy Auger: Yun Goeun could make one heck of a statement by beating Chandler tonight. But as we've seen throughout 2015, that's easier said than done. But if anyone can do it, it's Yun! You know she's going to have everyone in the crowd chanting Aja Aja! HWAITING!

Kris Cruise: And in our main event, some would call this a dream match as Johnny Cannon squares off against Sean Sands!

Stephy Auger: Cannon wants to prove himself as the best wrestler in FGA? Well tonight is the night to back up those words as he takes on former Frontier Lions Cup winner and former FGA Champ, Sean Sands! But Sands is in quite the mood with all this nonsense going on with Chris Q. As much as Sean has to keep his eyes peeled for The Big Bad, he better not take his eyes off of The British Mamba or else he'l get KO'd by that lethal Roundhouse Kick of his!

Kris Cruise: That's not all! Izzy Anders will be defending her Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship against Camellia D. Magna!

Stephy Auger: Cami has been complaining all Summer about how she's been passed over in favor of the hot, young and fresh new talent like Izzy. Well, tonight she's been given the opportunity to strike gold. Will Cami put up or shut up? We're going to find out soon!

Kris Cruise: We've got all this and more for you tonight! But right now, let's send it down to the ring to kick things off with our opener! J.A., take it away!

[Deleted]

Chris Bond vs. Cyncity

J.A. Aldridge: The following is a singles match scheduled for one fall!

The beginning of "Dam Dadi Do" by Nightcore fills the arena speakers over. Playing over the song was a loud siren, the crowd in the arena on their feet letting their voices be heard. The lights in the arena dim down just enough for the spotlight in the arena to shine directly on center stage.

Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam

When the beat kicks in heavily, Cyncity bursts out onto the ramp with her arms out to her side, pretending to be an airplane as she runs up and down the top of the ramp. When she's done messing around, she smiles and makes her way back to the top of the ramp. She stands at there for a moment, scans the crowd, and feeds from their energy before she makes her way down the ramp. She flaps her right arm up in the air and takes in the audience's cheers. She stops midway down the ramp and scans the crowd one more time, nodding her head and giving the audience a round of applause. She spins in a circle and does her trademark Sex Sells pose, her arms in the air, and bottom pushed out. Fans in attendance whistle in her direction as she breaks her pose and blows kisses to the audience.

She slaps the hands of a few lucky fans, and even gives a few of them hugs before she marches her way down the ramp and towards the ring. She finally pulls away from the fans then continues her quickened pace toward the ring. She slides into the ring and plays with the crowd some more, then gets herself loosened up for the upcoming match.

J.A. Aldridge: Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; she is CYNCITY!

"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. 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.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, from San Antonio, Texas; he is CHRIS BOND!

Kris Cruise: This is certainly an interesting match to kick off this episode of Vertigo!

Stephy Auger: Chris Bond, former two time Pride champion, taking on Cyncity, who was a Frontier Lions Cup finalist.

As soon as the bell rings, Bond and Cyncity slowly circle the ring before attempting to lock up. Bond, having the clear size advantage, quickly gets Cyn into a headlock. Cyncity attempts to escape the hold and eventually does slip the headlock maneuver, leading to Bond kicking her right in the gut, keeling her over. Chris then quickly wrapped his arms around Cyn's waist, lifted her up, and then proceeded to plant her on her back with the gutwrench powerbomb! The two time Pride champion then went for the cover!

ONE!
.
.
TW-Kickout!

Cyncity gets her shoulders up to cheers from the audience. Bond quickly pulls Cyncity up before he irish whips her towards the nearest corner. Cyncity hits said corner and Bond charges in, connecting with a corner splash! The Pride of FGA quickly peels Cyn out of the corner before hooking her head, lifting her, and planting her with a quick snap suplex! Bond then gets to his feet and immediately goes to stomping away at Cyncity's torso. Bond notices that there's a small scattering of boos throughout the crowd. So he stares out at the audience, ceasing with the stomping, and looks at them with a stunned expression, curious as to why a few of the fans would boo him. Bond shakes his head as he turns his attention away from the fans and back to Cyncity. He slowly gets her up to both feet before irish whipping her towards the nearest corner once again. Chris then charges in and catches her with a clothesline that seems to drain any energy out of her before hooking her head and moving forward, planting her in the center of the ring with a bulldog! Chris turns Cyncity over and goes for the cover!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity kicks out!

The FGA veteran looks over at the ref after that two count and motions for a three count, but the ref motions that it was only two. Bond slowly gets to his feet and grabs Cyncity by the hair once again before getting her up to both feet. He then irish whips her towards the ropes and she bounces off of them towards Bond, who throws out a lariat, only for Cyncity to duck underneath it! Bond quickly turns around and is met with a spin kick to the gut that drops him to a knee! Cyncity quickly moves back and waits for Bond to get up to both feet again before she wraps her legs around his neck and spins him for a bit, sending the veteran flying with a spinning headscissors takedown! Cyncity then quickly goes for the cover!

Kris Cruise: And just like that, Cyncity has gained control of this match!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Bond kicks out!

Stephy Auger: A nice two count right there. If Cyncity can keep it going, she will go home with another victory under her belt.

Cyncity gets to her feet again and looks at Bond, who is slowly rolling onto all fours. Cyncity motions for him to get up to both feet, which Bond slowly does, before she moves forward and catches the veteran with a single knee facebreaker, dropping the former Pride champion! The Sex Sells member than quickly gets to her feet and turns her back to Bond, shooting her uninjured arm up in the air to cheers from the audience before she quickly does a back flip and lands right on top of Bond! Cyncity then goes for the cover, hooking both legs!

Kris Cruise: A beautiful standing moonsault by Cyncity! She's really firing on all cylinders right now!

Stephy Auger: And if Bond wants to win this match, he has to do something fast.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Bond kicks out again!

Kris Cruise: And Bond keeps his hopes of winning this match alive!

Cyncity slowly gets to her feet, but has a small smile on her face as she's got more tricks up her sleeve. The Sex Sells member motions for her opponent to get to his feet as the audience cheers her on. Bond does slowly gets to his feet, using the ropes nearby for help, but does not have a chance to turn around before Cyncity shoots out her right foot and catches Bond right in the back of the head with a superkick!

Stephy Auger: Wow! What a superkick by Cyncity!

After the superkick, Cyncity hooks his head from behind and drops him with the Glitter Driver! Cyncity then goes for the cover as the audience cheers her on!

Kris Cruise: The Glitter Driver connects!

Stephy Auger: This could be it right here!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Th-Bond kicks out again!

The audience cheers as Bond manages to get his shoulder up and keep this match going. Cyncity slowly gets him up to both feet and goes to irish whip him towards the nearest corner, only for Bond to reverse it and send her in instead. This forces Cyncity's bad arm to hit the corner and force her to stumble out of it, and right into a running lariat from Bond! Cyncity is turned inside out before she falls to the mat and Bond quickly goes for the cover!

Kris Cruise: Oh, what a lariat by Chris Bond!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity kicks out!

Bond slaps the mat in frustration as Cyncity manages to kick out yet again, but he doesn't give in there. Instead, he gets Cyncity up to both feet, kicks her in the gut, hooks both of her arms, and plants her with a double arm DDT before he goes for the cover yet again!

Stephy Auger: Bond with a double arm DDT! Is this it?!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity kicks out again!

The audience as a collective lets out a sigh of relief as Cyncity manages to get her shoulder up yet again! Bond is seemingly getting more frustrated as he gets to his feet and goes back to stomping Cyncity before he quickly gets her up to both feet and whips her as hard as possible into the nearest corner. Cyncity hits the turnbuckles and stumbles forward towards Bond, allowing the veteran to lift her up and plant her with a spinebuster! Chris Bond then goes for the cover once more!

Kris Cruise: Ever since Cyncity hit her arm into those turnbuckles, Bond has taken full control!

Stephy Auger: And he might get the win right here!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cyncity kicks out yet again!

Once again, another sigh of relief from the audience. Bond quickly reaches down, grabs Cyncity and lifts her into a piledriver position before hitting a cradle piledriver! Cyncity seems to be out cold as Bond rolls her over after that move and goes for the cover yet again!

Kris Cruise: My god, what a cradle piledriver by Bond!

Stephy Auger: It's bad enough she has a bad arm, now her neck might be done for too!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-Cyncity kicks out once again!

Kris Cruise: What?!

Stephy Auger: Cyncity kicked out! And Bond can't believe it!

Bond gets on his knees and runs his hands over his buzzed head in disbelief. The veteran shakes his head as he gets up and circles the ring. At this point, he doesn't know what he has to do to put Cyncity away. He then walks over to Cyncity, who still seems to be out of it. Bond then slowly gets her up to both feet before he goes for the End of Days, only for Cyncity to catch him with a stomp to the foot! This forces Bond to release the hold and allows Cyncity to run up the turnbuckles of the nearest corner all the way to the top before leaping off, twisting in the air, and catching Bond with Emphatic Whispers!

Kris Cruise: And just like that, Cyncity is right back in this!

Stephy Auger: That Emphatic Whispers move not only took a lot out of Cyncity, but it's knocked out Bond!

The audience cheers loudly as Bond is laid out on the mat and Cyncity is using the ropes to slowly help herself up to both feet. When she sees that Bond is out cold and in perfect position, she quickly exits out onto the apron and climbs the turnbuckles of the nearest corner until she reaches the top turnbuckle! The injured Cyncity stands on the top turnbuckle...before leaping off and flipping in midair, eventually landing a double foot stomp onto Bond to a huge pop! Cyncity then desperately goes for the cover!

Kris Cruise: Standing Ovation connects!

Stephy Auger: What a shooting star double foot stomp by Cyncity! This could very well be it!

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

J.A. Aldridge: Here's your winner, CYNCITY!

Cyncity slowly gets to her feet after the match and has her good arm raised by the referee to cheers from the audience.

Kris Cruise: What a match to kick things off for tonight!

Stephy Auger: Bond really did bring it tonight, but Cyncity just managed to pick up the victory!

[ COMMERCIAL BREAK ]

[Deleted]

(Our scene opens to the inside of the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY. But judging by the lack of fans and the dim lighting, this is clearly something that was taped hours before tonight’s show. In the ring sit two men on steel chairs. To the left, Spencer Burke to the right, Chandler Scott. Burke shuffles his index cards around while Chandler readjusts the FGA World Championship over his shoulder. The center plate of the championship glistens from the spotlight above.)

Spencer Burke: Hello everyone, I’m Spencer Burke. I’m here today with the current FGA World Champion, Chandler Scott. Chandler, welcome.

(Chandler nods at Spencer.)

Chandler Scott: It’s good to be here.

Spencer Burke: I want to talk to you about your upcoming match against Tony Carmine. What is your mindset heading in this World Championship match?

Chandler Scott: My mindset is the same that it’s always been. Tony being an ally of mine doesn’t change things at all. I’m going to go into that ring and do what I have to do to win. Now the game plan varies. What I did against Jimmy Page was different than I did against Cordy Stevenson. What I did against Cordy was different than what I did against Johnny Karma. So on and so forth. I’ve got a plan in place and I will execute it, just like I always have. Since returning last year, I’ve proven myself as the very best in FGA. At the Four Year Anniversary Show, I’ll do it once again.

Spencer Burke: I recall you saying that win or lose, this match is a win/win. Do you honestly believe that?

Chandler Scott: How is it not a win/win? If I lose, then Tony will have risen to the occasion and cemented himself as the top guy here in FGA. If I lose, then my ally becomes World Champion. All of his potential will have been fulfilled. But if I win… then I’ve added onto a legacy that’s already been cemented. If I win, it’s another notch in my belt. It’s another record that I get to call my own. If I win, I get to head into yet another month as World Champion.

Spencer Burke: I understand in theory what you’re saying. Even if you lose, the title stays between the two of you. But this isn’t a Tag Team Championship, Chandler. This is a World Championship. Your name is the only one on that title, not his. And should you lose, it’ll be his name and his name only that’ll be on that title, not yours. This isn’t something you get to share back and forth. This isn’t something that you hold together. This is a single championship for one man and one man only.

Chandler Scott: I’m well aware of what’s a singles championship and what’s a tag team championship. Don’t insult my intelligence, Burke.

(Chandler’s change in tone causes Burke to tense up.)

Spencer Burke: My apologies. I didn’t mean to offend. Let’s transition into another question. Do you feel that Tony is your toughest test to date?

(Chandler back and rubs his chin as he recalls the opponents from months gone by.)

Chandler Scott: I feel like everyone that I’ve been in a World Title Match with this year, either as the challenger or as the champion, have been tough opponents. They all have their strengths. They all have things in their game that… I don’t want to say worry me. But they all have things that I make sure to take note of.

Spencer Burke: What’s in Tony’s game that you think you should make note of? What does he do that’s a cause for concern for you?

(Chandler smirks)

Chandler Scott: You don’t expect me to sit here and answer that, do you? I’m not going to sit here on national TV and tell my opponent what he should be doing less of or what I’m keeping my eye out for. Come on, Burke.

Spencer Burke: Chandler, you’ve alluded to this pan that you have. A plan that, you say, are going to execute well. Does that plan involve getting the jump on Tony before the 4 Year Anniversary Show?

(Chandler lowers his head before shaking it. He then looks back up at Burke).

Chandler Scott: Now why would I do such a thing like that? Hmm? Why would I deny the people the chance to see its World Champion and its Pride Champion fighting at 100 percent? The fact is that I don’t need to go that route. You see, I’m on such a level right now that I don’t have to resort to those tactics. You can put the names of every FGA wrestler in a hat, pick out a name and I will outwrestle them. That’s not cockiness. That’s just stating facts and I’ve got roughly a year’s worth of evidence to prove it. I don’t need to attack Tony from behind. I don’t need to try and take him out. I’ll meet him head on in the center of that ring at the 4 Year Anniversary Show… and then I’ll drop him.

Spencer Burke: Do you think he’ll abide by these same rules? We’ve seen him cheat before. We’ve seen him attack before.

Chandler Scott: Tony Carmine is a smart man. I don’t see him doing something stupid like attacking me from behind. I understand that this is a huge match for him and that a shot at this title may not ever come around for him again. But I feel like at the end of the day, Tony has too much respect for me to pull something like that. Besides, Tony’s not dumb. He’s a smart guy. He’s seen what I’ve done to people that have tried to take me out. He’s seen me go to war with people that have declared war on me. He knows that if he crosses that line, there’s no going back. Tony’s a smart man. He’s an ambitious man. But he’s not an idiot. He knows which lines not to cross.

Spencer Burke: Is that a threat? Because it’s sounding like a threat to me.

Chandler Scott: Look at you trying to stir the point. What threats? Who is threatening who here? No one is threatening anyone. I’m simply stating the obvious. You can take that however you.

Noelle Smith vs. Ling Ling

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida, NOELLE SMITH!

“I'm Good At Being Bad” by TLC starts to play over the PA, and the lights dim as Noelle steps from behind the curtain, a wide smile on her face as she waves to the fans before doing a few provocative dance moves as the lyrics cue up.

Sorry I turned you out (you out)
I guess I didn't know
That a man could be so soft (hmm)
Well I guess I have to give you back
The flowers, the candy (what?)
The diamonds (Oh no, not the diamonds)
Oh, hell no, wait a minute....
I'ma keep that (Better keep it girl)
Hope that you don't mind
I'm not the mushy kind
The mushy kind.........
Unh, check it

She does an athletic handspring forward to take her half down the ramp and then rushes the ring, using her hands to push her up onto the apron as she slides under the bottom rope and pops up, giggling and blowing kisses to the fans, winking at the referee and waving to the ring announcers cheerily.


J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, from Seoul, South Korea … LING LING!

Popular 4Minute song "Heart to Heart" blared through the venue signaling the arrival of The Lingster!

Ling busted out from the behind the curtain to a good decent amount of cheers lifting up both her arms making "L" symbols. Nothing too major considering she was still fairly new to the FGA crowd. Still, the reaction didn't slow her down, she turned to the right blowing kisses to the crowd. Then she blew one to the mass of people to her left before finally making her way down the ramp.

As she walked down the ramp she could be heard yelling out loud passionately. She barged up the stairs before entering the ring over the third rope. Finally she jumped up to one of the four top turnbuckles before stepping down to examine her opponent.

Kris Cruise: Noelle came so close to becoming the number one contender to the FGA World Championship last month, while Ling missed out on a chance to become the tag team champion–

Stephy Auger: And yet she has a belt.

Kris Cruise: Well…yeah…but tonight these two meet one-on-one for the first time ever, and I for one am excited to see this.

As the bell rings. both ladies meet at the center of the ring and tie up, with Noelle quickly snatching Ling into a headlock. Ling attempts to push her off, but Noelle plants herself into the mat, refusing to be budged as she wrenches on the hold. Noelle then takes her to the mat with a headlock takedown, but Ling gets her legs up, and pulls Noelle into a headscissors. Noelle kips up, breaking out of it as Ling rolls to her feet. Noelle surges forward, looking to connect with a clothesline, but the Lingster ducks underneath and sprints towards the ropes. She storms back, just as Noelle as is keeling over, looking to deliver a back body drop, but the Lingster rolls over the former Mid-Atlantic Champion’s back and lands on her feet. Noelle turns around and gets caught with a Japanese arm drag. She quickly pops back up to her feet and rushes forward, only to get caught with another one. She gets to her feet once more, and Ling leaps in the air, connecting with a big dropkick that sends Noelle back down to the mat. Ling scrambles forward to make a cover

ONE!
.
.
NO!

Noelle kicks out. She tries to roll to her feet, but the Lingster is on her, delivering a hard knife edge chop as soon as Noelle pushes from the mat. Noelle staggers back from the impact, and The Lingster fires off another one. She backs Noelle into the ropes and attempts to whip her across the ring, but Noelle reverses it, sending the Lingster hurtling towards the ropes instead. The Lingster bounces back, only to get caught with a spinning heel kick to cheers from the crowd. Both competitors scramble to their feet and Ling charges forward now only to get caught with a Japanese arm drag. She gets up, and gets caught with another one. She gets to her feet, and Noelle goes for a dropkick. But Ling senses it coming and swats her legs down, causing Noelle to crash into the mat. As Noelle rolls onto her stomach and pushes to her knees, Ling steps forward, grabs her arm and gets her into a La Magistral pin.

Kris Cruise: Ling with the pin attempt!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Noelle is able to kick out. Ling bounces to her feet and sprints towards the ropes, leaping on and springboarding off with a dropkick to the back of Noelle’s head as soon as she gets to a kneeling position. She rolls Noelle over, and goes for the pin.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THRE- NO!

Stephy Auger: Ling firing on all cylinders here.

Kris Cruise: She’s out to prove a point, Stephy.

Noelle once again kicks out. Ling climbs to her feet, and lifts Noelle back to hers. She rocks Noelle with a hard forearm shot that staggers her. Noelle however shows the fighting spirit that she’s known for and comes back, rocking Ling with a shot of her own. Ling nails her with another one, and Noelle responds! Noelle fires off a few more in rapid succession as she backs the Lingster up into the ropes. She shoots Ling across the ring, and Ling rebounds with a full head of steam looking to connect with a clothesline, but Noelle does her patented bridging evasion. Ling pumps her breaks and turns around only to get caught with a spinning back kick. Noelle grabs her and connects with the Flip Trip, dropping Ling into a seated position. She then breaks for the ropes, and bounces off, storming back and connecting with a running crossbody to cheers from the crowd. Ling sits up, clutching her chest, but Noelle pulls her back down into a pin.

Kris Cruise: What a move by Noelle, this could be it!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
NO!

The Lingster manages to kick out. Noelle gets to her feet and heads out onto the apron. She waits patiently, watching as Ling slowly rises to her feet. Once she’s up, Noelle launches herself onto the ropes, springboarding off and connecting with a big dropkick. She goes for the pin.

TWO!

.
THRE-- No! Ling gets a shoulder up.

Stephy Auger: Near fall after near fall. Both these competitors are giving it everything they have.

Kris Cruise: That’s the only way to win.

Noelle gets to her feet and reaches down grabbing Ling by the head. She begins to lift her, but Ling nails her with a shot to the stomach. Ling hits her with another one that keels Noelle over. Ling fires a hard right that spins Noelle around. Noelle staggers off, holding her jaw. She turns around and gets caught with a toe kick. Ling pulls her in and drops to the mat connecting with a DDT.

Both competitors are down and the referee begins to count. He hits the count of six, and Ling is the first one to stir. She crawls towards the ropes and pulls herself up. She heads back over towards Noelle and hits a standing double foot stomp. Noelle clutches at her chest and rolls around the ring in agony before Ling stalks over and picks her up off the mat. Ling roughly pulls her into a standing leg scissors, and hooks one arm. She attempts to hook the other, looking to connect with the Double Platinum Record, but Noelle slips free, and snatches Ling’s legs out from under her, completely catching her by surprise. She flips forward, going for a Jackknife pin.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.

THRE--- NO!

She waits patiently, watching as Noelle struggles to her feet. Once she’s up, Ling springboards off the ropes, looking to connect with NUKED. But Noelle rolls forward and under her, causing Ling to miss with the move. Ling lands roughly and rolls onto all fours. She begins to rise, but as soon as she does, Noelle sees her opportunity, surging forward and connecting with the Swing, Set, Match!

Kris Cruise: That has to be it now.

The crowd erupts at the move and counts along as Noelle hooks the leg.

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

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, NOELLE SMITH!

Stephy Auger: Ling Ling put up a challenge, but she was no match for Noelle Smith in the end.

Kris Cruise: A tremendous victory for Noelle, and she’s getting that momentum back after the Frontier Lions Cup final defeat.

Salem Cartier vs. Maurice Graham

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a singles match and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Springfield, Massachusetts, weighing in at 235lbs … He is ‘THE MACHINE’ MAURICE GRAHAM!

“Breathe” by Fabolous hits and the lights begin to strobe. Maurice Graham walk out to the stage wearing a black towel over his head. Behind him is his manager Victoria Sinclair in high heels, a mini pencil skirt with matching low cut blazer. After doing a few air jabs to loosen up, he lifts up the towel revealing a devilish grin before he heads to the ring with his left fist in the air. Victoria claps and points to her client demanding the fans cheer and appreciate him. As he arrives to the ring he rolls underneath the bottom rope, opens the middle and top ropes to allow Victoria to enter. He then makes his way to the corner climbing to the second rope to look down on the fans as Victoria points to him.

Kris Cruise: Last time we saw Maurice Graham he was having some problems with Yun Goeun.

Stephy Auger: And his manager, Victoria Sinclair, made the surprise save. The question is, how will this affect him ahead of his match tonight against Salem Cartier?

Kris Cruise: Who won an impressive match in her debut against Cami Magna.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Laval, Quebec, Canada … SALEM CARTIER!

The funky drum beat and riff of 'Phenomena' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fills the arena and the quirky yet energetic Salem Cartier appears at the entrance, tapping her foot and bopping her head to the beat...

"Hey!
Don't touch kid, sleep with the lights on.... Touch kid, how you surprise me...
Now roll kid, rock your body off!"

She raises both hands and motions for the fans to get hyped, then bops her way toward the ring in time with the song, popping her shoulders up and down, swaying her arms around with a coy smile and wink to the audience.

"You're something like a phenomena.... Something like an astronoma...
Now roll kid, rock your body off!"

She steps up the ring steps, throws her hood back, clutches the top rope and puts her feet on the bottom rope, gazing around and rocking up and down on the ropes...

“Something like a phenomena, baby.... You're gonna get your body off"

She slides through the ropes – and immediately gets jumped by Maurice Graham. The Machine laying into her with stomps to the back, and Salem didn’t even manage to get her jacket off.

Kris Cruise: Maurice wasting no time in getting this one started.

Stephy Auger: And look at Victoria Sinclair, cheering him on.

Indeed she is; Sinclair is pounding on the ring apron, urging Graham to be even more vicious as The Machine rips Salem’s jacket off for her. He tosses it out into the crowd before dragging Salem back to her feet. A quick snap suplex takes her back down, before Maurice floats over into a mounted position. He begins to rain down blows before the referee finally intervenes, dragging Maurice Graham off his opponent. Salem finally has chance to gather her bearings as she heads towards the ropes, using them to pick herself back up – only to get caught from behind by an olympic slam! And the cover by Maurice.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
But Salem kicks out.

Frustrated, Maurice drags Salem right back to her feet and bounces her head first off the top turnbuckle. He grabs her in a Muay Thai style clinch and begins to drive his knees up into her midsection, taking the wind out of her sail, and forcing Salem down into a seated position. Graham goes straight to work, placing a boot down across his opponent’s throat as the referee starts the five count.

Referee: One! Two! Three! Four!

Kris Cruise: Maurice breaking the choke just in time.

The referee gets in The Machine’s face, admonishing hi for the illegal choke, but Graham just sidesteps the official, and begins stomping at the seated Cartier. Once again, he drags his opponent back to her feet. Maurice takes the opportunity to play to the crowd, showboating before nailing Salem with a stiff elbow smash to the side of the face. She stumbles, but remains standing before Maurice grabs her again. This time he feints with an Irish whip, bringing Salem back in close for a huge spinebuster. He folds her over for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
NO!

Stephy Auger: Salem kicks out in time.

Kris Cruise: She’s got to start getting some offense in soon though, Stephy, otherwise this one will be over in no time.

Salem is brought back to her feet again, and this time she’s whipped towards the corner. Cartier hits the turnbuckle hard before Maurice charges in after her – straight into Salem’s raised boot! The crowd pop as Maurice staggers back a step, before charging in again. This time Salem gets the hell out of dodge, and Maurice Graham hits the turnbuckle chest first! He turns around, clutching his sternum, as Salem executes a rolling snapmare out of the corner. She pops to her feet and delivers a shoot kick to the chest of a seated Maurice Graham. And another. And a third as the crowd become alive. Cartier runs against the ropes, coming back with a running dropkick to the face before making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Maurice gets the shoulder up.

Stephy Auger: Close call there.

Kris Cruise: She’s found a way back into this match, now what can Salem do?

Both competitors take their time to get back to their feet, but Salem reaches the upright position first as she fires off a shin kick. And a second. Maurice is feeling these as Cartier delivers a third shin kick – NO! It’s caught. Maurice wags his finger in her face, telling Salem not to go to the well too often, before The Witch catches him with an enzuigiri!

Graham spins on the spot, dazed after the kick to the head, as Salem pops to her feet and performs a dropkick to the back. It’s enough to send Maurice staggering forward, landing throat first across the middle rope. Cartier sets off against the far ropes, coming back with a leapfrog body guillotine! She even bounces up and down several times to inflict maximum damage, to the enjoyment of the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Salem really taking it to her opponent here.

But her attention is grabbed by Victoria Sinclair climbing up onto the apron. The Witch makes her way over to tell Victoria not to try the same stunt she pulled on the last show with Yun, and she’s joined by the referee, who’s telling Victoria to climb back down as well.

Stephy Auger: What’s she doing on the apron?

Kris Cruise: Creating a distraction and giving her client some much needed time to recharge…

The crowd’s boos do little to warn Salem of the impending attack, however, as Maurice brings her crashing down to the mat with a reverse suplex! Graham rises to one knee, looking out across the crowd as a fair majority continue booing him. Cockily, Maurice goes to bring Salem back to her feet, only to get rolled up with a small package!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NOO!

Maurice kicks out at the last second! Both competitors scramble back to their feet as Maurice rushes at Salem with a clothesline, but she ducks under the arm and runs against the ropes herself, springboarding off the middle rope with a back elbow – NO! Maurice plucks his opponent out of midair, grabbing Salem with a rear waistlock before performing a release German suplex. On the outside, Victoria Sinclair looks impressed as her client gets back to his feet.

Stephy Auger: I’ll give him credit, that was impressive from Maurice Graham.

Kris Cruise: He folded Salem up like an accordion.

Cartier is struggling to get back to her feet as Maurice lies in wait, watching as The Witch drags herself up using the ropes for leverage. As Salem reaches her vertical base, she turns around – Superkick – NO! Salem ducks the superkick attempt and counters with a mule kick! The Machine is doubled over as Salem runs at him, hopping up onto his thighs before performing a standing monkeyflip DDT! Both competitors are down after that one, though; Salem wasting valuable seconds before she’s able to drape an arm across the chest.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
NO!

Stephy Auger: Maurice Graham is still in this one!

Salem curses her rotten luck for her not being able to cover quick enough as she crawls towards the ropes again. She uses them to drag herself back up as, in the middle of the ring, Maurice pushes himself back to a vertical base. Cartier appears to still be feeling the effects of that German suplex, however, as she allows Maurice to act first. The Machine grabs his opponent and whips Salem across the ring before going for the back body drop. But Salem leapfrogs over the bent forward Machine, bouncing off the ropes again before coming back with a New Hampshire Handshake out of nowhere! The Machine falls to the mat as Salem hooks the leg.

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

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, SALEM CARTIER!

Kris Cruise: Another victory for Salem Cartier here tonight, and that makes her two-and-oh so far in FGA.

Stephy Auger: Indeed she is, but a disappointing loss for Maurice Graham here. He came close to putting Salem away, but The Witch prevails.

On the outside, Victoria Sinclair looks on in disappointment as Salem begins to celebrate her victory, posing on the turnbuckle for her adoring fans. Meanwhile, Maurice rolls out of the ring, and he does not look best pleased.

As the match between Salem Cartier and Maurice Graham is already being written into the record books, we cut to the backstage area of the Westchester County Center and see Johnny Karma is sitting on a back-to-front chair wearing his street clothes, his elbows resting on the chair's back, and his chin resting on the back of his hands

Johnny Karma: I know I said that I was taking a break, but ever since I walked out of Poughkeepsie because I needed a little time to get my head straight, I found that I couldn't - because at the back of my mind there was the voice of some momzer pretending that I didn't take him to the limit at Above & Beyond, and about two minutes later some khalev nobody logged off of Twitter for two minutes to actually converse with a member of the human race for a change and they said...actually, I don't know what they said, as I have no interest in anything that comes out of their mouth, keyboard, or any other hole where words that could be construed as a sentence regularly come out of. And then I got thinking about the chaos I saw backstage at A&B - various members of the roster banged up beyond repair, Sean Sands blacking out with a concussion, Cordy Stevenson being rushed to the emergency room...and all because, right now, it seems that the only way to get ahead in FWA is to be the worst person alive. Let's look at that particular rogue's gallery, shall we? Up top is a guy who got a shot at the FWA Championship by kvetching for one but somehow thinks he can say who has and hasn't earned a shot at him, we've got somebody who has decided the best way to reclaim his spot in the main event is to sneak attack anyone who could stop him getting there and dump them on the injured list, then there's the equivalent of somebody taking a pishekhts on the whole concept of the Frontier Lion's Cup let alone its lineage...quite frankly they're making Jimmy Page or Dom Harter look almost cuddly in comparison, and it's not like either of those two belong anywhere outside of the nearest zoo's ape enclosure.

The mere thought of that causes Karma to look genuinely exasperated at what's happening in his beloved company

Johnny Karma: So on paper, if I want to scale the heights, apparently I need to be the guy who cheers when Bambi's mom dies, or agrees with Donald Trump, or pays some of their own money on Katy Perry's so-called music. You know, be the worst that you can be.

Before he's even finished his sentence to contemplate that idea, Karma shakes his head

Johnny Karma: Or I could do what I've always done, and that's do my own thing. I've done my own thing since Day One, and I've challenged for the FWA Championship, I've won the Pride Championship, I've done more for the Gold Rush Rumble than dozens of people who've been tossed out of the ring and landed in obscurity, and I've stolen so many shows I lost count back in the spring of last year. The problem is that being the better wrestler doesn't seem to get results around here, and judging by the apathy I got after my match, it doesn't seem to get you much respect either. So with that being said, from this point on I have decided that not only am I going to be a better wrestler than anybody on this roster, it's time for me to try and be a better person.

Karma holds up a finger, realising he has an additional point to make

Johnny Karma: I know that doesn't exactly sound like much of a challenge, given people can't seem to debut or return to FWA without smashing bottles over people's heads or setting fire to the ring canvas or, worst of all, desecrating the music of Saint Jimi of Hendrix, but if the options are to follow that herd and succeed the easy way or go against each and every one of them and do things the hard way, it's amazing how easy it is to choose the hard way.

Sean Sands is seen putting the last touches on his ring gear as he prepares for his main event matchup tonight. He seems the cameras close by and motions for them to stop right where they are at.

Sean Sands: I have a rather important message I want to be relayed to Chris Q. Hopefully, if one of you finds him, you can play him this. If not, he can see it from TV at home since he doesn’t seem to be in the arena tonight.

Sands begins putting tape around his right wrist as he continues on.

Sean Sands: Chris Q, two weeks ago, I nearly got my hands on you and stopped you from making that poor man another victim of what has basically turned into your cry for attention. Though I hope you’re glad that you now have my full and undivided attention because like I said, I’m not going to stop until I get my hands on you and make you pay.

Sean finishes with one wrist and transitions over to his other wrist.

Sean Sands: You have probably ended the career of Cordy Stevenson. You screwed Noelle Smith out of a clean match with me. And you stole my opportunity at becoming the first ever two time Frontier Lions Cup winner. And I’m going to make you pay for all of that by being there every single time you try to do something like what you did at Above & Beyond IV.

Sands looks up for a second, flashing a small smile at the camera.

Sean Sands: Every time you attempt to either screw someone out of a match or try and destroy their career, I’m going to be there, stopping you from even getting close to trying it. I’m going to be there, like a fucking hawk watching over you, and I’ll make sure that you don’t hurt anybody else. At least not under my goddamn watch.

Sands finally finishes up with the tape and tosses the rest of the roll to the side before looking up at the camera.

Sean Sands: So, I guess I’ll be the bigger man and make the challenge. In two weeks time, I’m gonna be out there, in the center of that ring, and I’m going to call you out. Then you’re going to find the pair that you seem to be missing nowadays and you’re going to make your way out there so that I can challenge you to a match at Final Frontier, face-to-face. Don’t leave me hanging.

Sean points to the cameraman behind the camera.

Sean Sands: You make sure he gets that message. yeah?

Sands then gets to his feet and walks off out of the shot as we cut elsewhere.

The scene cuts to backstage where Zero McHannon is making his way down the hallway, headphones hung around his neck and a blank look across his face as Spence Burke turns towards the camera.

Spencer Burke: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Zero McHannon, who at Above and Beyond went through a grueling Chivalry is Dead match against Jimmy Page.

McHannon looks sideways at Burke, biting down on his own lip and refusing to make eye contact with the camera.

Zero McHannon: Let’s not try to hype it up to what it wasn’t, Spencer. I’m sure the people got what they wanted from that match, but I’m personally embarrassed in my performance that night. I thought my head was in the game, but obviously it wasn’t. This is more about letting myself down, though. I told everyone, from the fans to the people backstage, that I was going to handle Page and handle him the right way. I’m going to stand here and give you the long winded Johnny Cannon story…. I failed. I failed miserably. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve flopped a battle in sooooo long. It’s not me. It’s not my nature.

Spencer Burke: Were you distracted by something that you think could have hindered our slowed you down in your match against Page?

Zero pauses for a moment as he looks around the backstage area. There was something particular on his mind, but he turned to the camera and refused to bring it up.

Zero McHannon: No. This one’s on me. And even if there was something bothering me, it shouldn’t get in the way of my job. I’ve gone my whole career fighting through the worst, and this is no different.

Burke doesn’t look satisfied though as he pushes a little more.

Spencer Burke: If I may ask, what exactly do you think that you did wrong?

Zero McHannon: What didn’t I do wrong in my match against Page? I took my ass beating and fought through it all until the bitter end. Then I nailed the Zero-Tolerance to think it was game over…. but it wasn’t. Then Page hit the Concussion and I laid down. I was done… That’s not me. I fought too hard in that match to lay down that easy and that’s exactly what I did. I almost tarnished myself and everyone who believe in me. And it’s been on my mind ever since my match at Above and Beyond. I wake up every morning thinking about how I didn’t dig deep enough and what would’ve happened if I just kicked out like Page did against me. I’m not sure if you know what it’s like to have something like that haunt you and hang over your head everyday until you get another chance to make it right again.

He stops for a moment and shakes his head, a little pain in his eyes.

Zero McHannon: But the brighter picture of it all? I do have the chance to make it right again. After Jimmy Page picked up yet another cheap win against Annie Zellor, all I have to do is make it through Dom Harter tonight to get that chance. To show Page that he can keep swinging, but I will always stand back up. You see, Page would love to watch me give up and call it quits, to put him in the back of my mind and forget about him… but that’s not going to happen.

Burke nods his head some and pushes on with the questions.

Spencer Burke: Well, we’ve all heard the latest news of your longtime trainer, Devin Murph, death. Will this affect you in your match against Dom Harter tonight?

There’s a small awkward silence between them as Zero turns to the interviewer.

Zero McHannon: Not at all… if anything, it will make me want it that much more. Tonight isn’t about Page, the World Championship chance, or what comes next. All of that comes after my match with Dom Harter and what comes from it. Tonight is about much more than all of that put together, because me and Dom have history. Unfinished history, and hopefully tonight isn’t the end of that either. It has been far too long since we’ve stepped into that ring against each other, but tonight? It all comes together like a puzzle. Win or lose, it won’t matter. It won’t matter because I’m not looking at next week or the next pay per view yet, I’m look at giving everyone what they want to see in a match between me and Dom.

Burke gives a small smile and looks a little confused.

Spencer Burke: So you’re not looking forward to what could come out of all this if you beat Dom Harter tonight?

Zero McHannon: I’ll look forward to that when I beat Dom Harter. Until then it’s simple… No. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have that match to go and get ready for.

McHannon walks out of frame without another word as Spencer turns back towards the camera.

Spencer Burke: Well, you heard it here first ladies and gentlemen. Words from Zero McHannon.

He stands in front of the camera for a moment as it fades away, then cuts to black.

Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship Match
(c) Izzy Anders vs. Camellia D. Magna

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the FGA Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship. Introducing first, from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, she is the current FGA Mid-Atlantic Champion … IZZY ANDERS!

In an instance, "Guerrilla Radio" by Rage Against the Machine almost blasts the speakers useless. A light red shade spreads among the crowd. When the overpowering sounds of the song settle only a tad, Izzy makes her way out. She walks out, stepping close to the camera operator. Izzy puts up a boxing stance, throws a few, playful strikes at the camera, and gives the camera a smile before turning back to the ring. She rhythmically makes her way down to the ring, cracking her knuckles. She offers her hands to the audience, slapping any outstretched hands with passion and glee.

Kris Cruise: A few weeks ago, Izzy Anders managed to get to the semi-finals of the Frontier Lion’s Cup before she was eliminated by eventual winner, Tony Carmine.

Stephy Auger: Give the assist to Dom Harter though.

Kris Cruise: He denies that, but yeah. Tonight she has a different challenge at hand, and that’s defending her Mid-Atlantic Legacy title against Camellia D. Magna.

She reaches ringside and proceeds to walk around the whole ring, greeting every fan there. She walks by the commentary team, yelling out at them. "You all ready for this?!" she yells before, getting onto the ring apron. She ascends the top rope, headbanging to the vigorous song. She leaps into the ring, bouncing around, keeping her intensity at an all-time high. Even as she stops moving around the ring, she still opts to bounce about.

Stephy Auger: Some people may say Cami doesn’t deserve a title shot – certainly Chandler Scott has said as much, but do you think she has what it takes to finally win a belt here in FGA, Kris?

Kris Cruise: If tonight is her night, it’s not going to be easy for her.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, the challenger, from Charlotte, North Carolina … CAMELLIA D. MAGNA!

“Riptide” by Sick Puppies sounds through the speakers in the arena as the crowd here in Chicago Ridge begin to boo. The main lights go dim and the entrance ramp is lit by blue and green lights. Fog slowly rolls down the ramp, covering the floor as Cami steps onto the top of the ramp with a huge smile on her face – which does nothing to alleviate the booing. She walks down the ramp, constantly looking around, spinning in a circle so as not to miss anything, enjoying the negative reaction from the crowd. When about halfway down the ramp, she takes off running, sliding into the ring under the bottom rope. While on the mat, she pushes up into the bridge position. After holding it for a few seconds, she kicks over to a standing position.

Kris Cruise: Here we go!

The bell sounds to start the match as both competitors circle the ring. The crowd here in White Plains are firmly behind Izzy Anders, much to the chagrin of her challenger, Camellia Magna. The pair of them lock up collar and elbow, jockeying for position before Anders goes behind with a hammerlock. She wrenches the arm of her opponent, causing Cami to squirm in pain, but Magna is able to reverse the hold. The champion now finds herself in a hammerlock submission. She fires off a few back elbows, catching Cami around the cheekbone, and forcing her to release the hold before Izzy applies a standing wrist lock. She wrenches once for good measure, but Cami rolls across the mat trying to break free. It doesn’t work, however, as Izzy sweeps the leg, taking Cami down to the mat with a wrist lock still applied.

Kris Cruise: Izzy Anders playing the technical game, and that’ll work in her favor. If she can dictate the pace of this match…

Stephy Auger: And hope Cami Magna doesn’t get the chance to use her speed advantage; there are few people in FGA who can fly around that ring like Cami.

Cami throws the shoulder up to stop the referee from making a count as she tries to figure out a way to escape the hold. She kips back to her feet; Anders keeps the wrist lock applied as Cami circles her opponent, intertwining their legs to try and leverage it. Only for the champion to throw Cami back first to the mat. A small smatter of applause from the fans as Anders wrenches the hold tighter. Undeterred, Cami continues trying to find a way out. She goes under her own arm, rising to her feet after forcing Izzy’s grip to weaken somewhat. Cami turns her back to her opponent, grabbing the arm before quickly countering into a standing hammerlock of her own. Izzy lets out a pained howl as she’s brought down to the mat with a rolling takedown, and Cami applies a headscissors.

Kris Cruise: I don’t think Izzy was expecting that one.

The champion rolls around, trying to free herself from the headscissors, eventually working her way into a headstand, drawing a small cheer from the crowd. She uses what upper body strength she has to push herself away as Cami performs a backwards rolls, and both competitors scramble to their feet at a stalemate.

Again, both competitors circle the ring for a few moments; Anders claps her hands, trying to get the crowd to do the same. And they do so. Izzy and Cami lock horns again, and this time Cami is able to gain the upper hand as she pushes her opponent back into a corner. The referee intervenes, calling for a break, which he gets. Before Cami nails Izzy with a forearm smash to the face. And a second. Anders is reeling as she’s sent from pillar to post with an Irish whip, hitting the turnbuckle with force before Cami collides with her, crushing her in the corner with a clothesline. Followed by a snapmare taking Izzy down to a seated position, which Cami uses to deliver a thunderous kick to the spine. Izzy howls out in pain again as she’s pushed down to the mat for the first cover of the match.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

Stephy Auger: A kick out by Izzy Anders, but Cami has come out swinging tonight.

Kris Cruise: She certainly has the advantage here in the early going, the match is still young.

Magna looks to the official in disgust, but she’s not about to make the same mistake that cost her last time. She goes straight back on the offensive, driving a knee down across the lower back of her opponent, time after time, before finally keeping it there as she grabs Izzy under the chin. The referee checks for a submission, but Anders won’t give in that easily. After a few seconds of her opponent refusing to submit, Cami breaks the hold, driving one final knee to the lower back before picking Izzy back up to her feet. The champion is backed against the ropes this time, her chest left open as Cami unleashes a series of vicious knife edge chops – the crowd shouting “whoo” with each one! An Irish whip sends Anders running across the ring, but the champion holds onto the ropes to stop herself. In a flash of rage, Magna charges in and gets dumped over the top rope with a back body drop. Except, with tremendous agility, Cami is able to grab the top rope and use it to bring herself down on the apron. Magna throws a forearm smash, but misses as Izzy is able to scout it, and counter with a shoulder thrust to the gut before dragging Cami’s upper body through the ropes. The challenger is stuck as Izzy unloads a succession of knee strikes to the face, stopping only to go against the ropes, coming back with a running dropkick to the side of the head. Magna slumps through the ropes, landing in the ring as Izzy rolls her over for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cami kicks out.

And Magna is able to roll out under the bottom rope before Izzy is able to realize where she’s going. The crowd boo as Cami slinks away, holding her face as she walks around the outside of the ring. A few seconds pass before Izzy follows her out. She manages to catch Cami by surprise, delivering a clubbing blow to the back that causes the Southern belle to stumble, before Cami gets hurled into the guard rail! She yells in pain as her spine hits the steel, but the crowd seem to enjoy it.

Kris Cruise: That had to hurt.

Stephy Auger: That’s unforgiving steel, Kris. Cami is going to be feeling that one for a while.

The count-out reaches five before Izzy rolls her opponent back into the ring. She follows Cami in; Magna scrambles towards the center of the ring, standing back up before Izzy catches her with a toe kick to the midsection. An Irish whip takes the challenger towards the corner before Izzy charges in after her with a running European uppercut! Izzypop runs back to the far corner before charging in once more, hitting a second running European uppercut! This time Cami stumbles out of the corner, into the waiting arms of the champion and a backbreaker. Magna falls to the mat face down, but has no time to react before Izzy is on her, locking the legs in position before bridging over to apply a Muta lock!

Kris Cruise: A Muta lock! Izzy Anders looking for the submission victory here!

The crowd are getting excited as Cami Magna howls in agony! Her head being wrenched backwards as the referee checks for a submission – but its not forthcoming! Magna drags herself closer to the ropes, as the official checks again. But the challenger still won’t give up as Anders applies even more pressure.

Stephy Auger: She’s reached the ropes.

The referee calls for a break, and Izzy releases the hold at a count of three before rolling away. But she’s unrelenting, grabbing Cami’s legs to pull the challenger towards the center of the ring. Anders looks for the Boston crab this time, but Cami holds onto the leg to stop herself from being flipped. So Izzy delivers a snap kick to the spine. And another. But still Cami keeps hold of the leg. So Izzy relents and switches her attack into a sloppy jackknife pin!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
NO!

Cami hooks her legs under Izzy’s arms and reverses the pin!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NOO!

Izzy kicks out at the last possible second, saving her title belt. Both competitors roll away from each other, taking a moment to catch their breath as they glare at one another.

Kris Cruise: Did you see how close Cami was to stealing a victory there?

Stephy Auger: I did, and I think Izzy Anders noticed too.

Cami’s holding her lower neck, Izzy doing the same to her lower back as the pair circle the ring once more. As they come together, Izzy goes behind with a rear waistlock, but Cami hooks the leg before she can be taken to the mat. A few back elbows find their mark, sufficiently weakening the champion’s grip as Cami runs against the ropes for some momentum. She comes back with a flying forearm that takes the champion down! Both competitors scramble back to their feet as Cami connects with a dropkick, sending Izzy staggering backwards and out through the middle rope onto the apron. Anders picks herself up, but Cami Magna is already bouncing off the far ropes as she handsprings towards the champion, delivering a spinning elbow smash that knocks Izzy flying off the apron!

Kris Cruise: And the Mid-Atlantic Legacy champion just bounced off the guard rail!

On the outside, Izzy is laid out near the steel rail as, inside, a weary Camellia Magna uses the ropes to pick herself back up to her feet. Her neck still causing her some discomfort as she steps out through the ropes.

ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


FOUR!

Anders begins to stir, using the rail to get back to a vertical base as her opponent lies in wait, perched on the ring apron. The champion pushes herself up to her feet and turns around, just as Cami launches herself off the apron with a seated senton!

FIVE!


SIX!

Magna rubs the sole of her boot into Izzy’s face before rolling her back into the ring to break up the count. She follows her in and makes the cover.

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

Magna looks to the official, but the referee assures her it was just a two.

Kris Cruise: The last time these two met, Cami cost herself the match by arguing with the official. She won’t want to make that mistake again.

Undeterred, Cami drags her opponent back to her feet once more and, this time, applies a standing wrist lock. Anders appears to be in some discomfort, but it only gets worse as Magna wrenches the arm before dropping an elbow down across the shoulder, all before transitioning into a Russian legsweep. Even then she keeps hold of the arm, applying a basic arm bar to try and wear down the limb. But the champion still has some fight left in her as Anders performs a forward roll before kipping up to her feet, countering with a wrist lock – before Cami rakes her across the eyes. It’s enough to earn an admonishment from the official, but Cami is already running against the ropes for momentum. She throws a lariat – NO! Izzy ducks under and runs against the ropes herself, coming back with a headscissors into an octopus stretch!

Stephy Auger: A submission hold out of nowhere!

Kris Cruise: And they’re in the center of the ring! Cami has nowhere to go!

The crowd are on their feet as the leg gets hooked around Cami’s neck, her arm torqued back as the Mid-Atlantic Legacy champion cinches the hold in tight. The referee checks for a submission, but Magna insists she won’t give up. Not when the title is on the line.

Stephy Auger: This has to be it…

The referee checks again, but still Cami Magna won’t give up. She howls in agony, her arm being wrenched nearly out of its socket as Izzy Anders applies even more pressure. The fans here in White Plains all on their feet as they’re ready to watch Izzy retain the title – NO! Cami summons all of her strength to counter with a modified fireman’s carry, taking them down to the mat. The octopus stretch is still applied until Cami looses her neck from under her opponent’s leg and is able to counter with a kneebar!

Kris Cruise: What the?!

Now it’s Izzypop’s turn to scream in pain as Cami applies the submission hold; the referee checking for a submission – but the champion reaches the ropes! The official calls for the break, which he gets at four and a half before an irate Cami Magna rolls away. She’s slow back to her feet, but still quicker than Izzy Anders is. Magna waits for her opponent to get up before drilling Izzy with a savate kick! The champion is dazed, and Cami senses her chance. She runs against the ropes, springboarding off the middle, then the top rope before flying through the air to deliver the Snapdragon Fire!

Stephy Auger: have we got a new champion?!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE-NOOO!

Kris Cruise: So close!

Izzy escapes by the skin of her teeth, and Camellia looks distraught. The fans are almost silent, shocked at how close a call that was as Cami forces herself up once more. She lies in wait for Izzy to do the same as, in the center of the ring, the champion wearily stands back up. Magna charges, but misses the clothesline as she rebounds off the ropes. Anders catches her, though, lifting Magna up across her shoulders for the fireman’s carry before transitioning into a lifting rolling cutter!

Kris Cruise: Roll the Bass!

Stephy Auger: This could be it!

The challenger is out cold in the center of the ring, but Izzy is exhausted. The crowd are urging her on, giving her the encouragement she needs to drag herself closer and drape an arm across the chest of Camellia Magna.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NOOO!

Stephy Auger: She kicked out! Camellia kicked out!

The champion looks to the official in shock, but he holds up two fingers to indicate this match is still going. Anders gets to a kneeling position, a shocked expression on her face as she can’t quite believe what just happened. Magna is stirring, rolling towards the ropes. She reaches up for the middle rope, using it to drag herself up to her feet as Izzy waits behind her. The champion grabs her opponent around the waist, but Cami fires off a back elbow. And a second. Izzy staggers backwards as Cami spins with a discus elbow smash that only just connects. It’s enough to drop Anders to one knee, however, but the champion quickly regains her vertical base as Cami charges in for a wheelbarrow bulldog – NO! Izzy Anders plucks her opponent out of mid air with a bridging German suplex!

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

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match and STILL the FGA MID-ATLANTIC LEGACY CHAMPION, IZZY ANDERS!

The fans cheer loudly as Anders releases the bridge; the referee helps her back to her feet as they’re handed the title belt.

Kris Cruise: A nail biting finish, but Izzy Anders is able to retain by the skin of her teeth, Stephy.

Stephy Auger: I think Cami Magna surprised us all tonight, coming a whisker away from pinning Izzy Anders on numerous occasions.

Kris Cruise: Do you think Chandler Scott will take back his comments about Cami after seeing that performance?

Stephy Auger: If he has a decent bone in his body, he’ll have to. But Izzy Anders retains the Legacy title tonight...wait, who's that?

From beneath the ring, a figure clad all in black emerges. They roll into the ring behind Izzy's back - the crowd's reaction does little to alert her as she's caught from behind by a mighty lariat! After all she's just endured, Izzy collapses to the mat, but the masked figure isn't done yet.

They push the referee away before dragging Anders up to her feet, lifting her up for a powerbomb. Anders is helpless, suspended in the air as the the masked figure clasps their hands together Izzy's head and throws her overhead into the turnbuckle! The crowd erupt in boos and jeers as the masked figure rolls out of the ring just in time to escape the wave of referees and staff making their way to the ringside.

Vertigo returns from commercial to see the smiling face of a #sparklebuddy.

Annie Zellor: Heyyy guys!

Annie chirps as she waves at the camera. She’s backstage in the arena, wearing a t-shirt with the album art for her new EP, Annie Does The 90s on it. Just a bit of shameless self promotion.

Annie Zellor: As you know, Final Frontier is the biggest show of the year, and it’s fast approaching now. And as you all know, two weeks ago, the FGA World Tag Team Champions, Whiskey Dex challenged me and Laurel to a rematch after what happened at the end of our match at Above & Beyond IV! Laurel isn’t here tonight unfortunately, so on behalf of the #sparklebuddies I’m gonna accept your challenge, guys!

She gives the camera a quick thumbs up.

Annie Zellor: At Final Frontier IV on December 12th, it’s gonna be Whiskey Dex defending the FGA World Tag Team titles against the #sparklebuddies in a best two out of three falls match…

The smiles fades from Annie’s face.

Annie Zellor: and that’s all I’ve got to say about that…

She says before rather abruptly walking away off screen.

ROUND ROBIN CHALLENGE ELIMINATOR #2
Zero McHannon vs. Dom Harter

“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.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! It is the second Round Robin Challenge Eliminator! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Gambino! Now residing out of Long Island, New York! He weighs in at 210 pounds… ZERO MCHANNON!

“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.   

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: Here we are with this second Round Robin Challenge Eliminator as Dom Harter takes on this man, Zero McHannon!

Stephy Auger: These two men are no strangers to each other, as they’ve reminded us in the days leading up to this match. Dom Harter hasn’t made his desire to become a Grand Slam Champion a secret. But he would also love to hold that World Championship for a record-tying third time. For him to do all of this at Zero’s expense? You just know Harter’s licking his chops.

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 White Plains.

J.A. Aldridge: And his 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: Harter was far from the most well-liked person on this roster before his suspension. But since coming back, the Tenacious Little Bastard has been making enemies right and left. But one man that has a long standing rivalry with the Triple Crown Winner is the man that’s standing across the ring from him - Zero McHannon.

Stephy Auger: McHannon made it perfectly clear that while he can respect what Harter’s accomplished, he doesn’t like him. Zero’s got more than enough motivation heading into this match. His dislike towards Harter is as intense as it ever was. A win here not only gets Zero one step closer to earning himself that number one contendership, it will earn himself another encounter with Jimmy Page. Above & Beyond IV did not have the ending that Zero wanted. Another match with Page gives Zero not just the opportunity to right the wrongs that happened in their Chivalry is Dead Match, but it also prevents a guy like Page, a man who has no respect for this company and its competitors, a shot at the World Championship.

Stephy Auger: And these two are getting into it already!

Both men immediately head towards the center of the ring and start going back and forth. The crowd is at a fevered pitch as it watches these two former rivals tossing insults back and forth. As soon as the bell sounds, Harter turns away from McHannon… only to turn back and try to sucker punch him. But McHannon knew it was coming. So he blocks the punch and counter with one of his own, resulting in a round of cheers from the crowd. Harter throws out another punch. But again, McHannon blocks and counters with one of his own. McHannon then fires off another punch… and another… and another. After a kick to the midsection, McHannon takes Harter and goes for an irish whip. But Harter reverses, sending McHannon into the ropes. When McHannon comes back, Harter knocks him down with a forearm smash to boos from the crowd. Harter goes over, picks up McHannon, marches into the corner and goes to slam him face first into the top turnbuckle. But McHannon gets his foot on the middle turnbuckle. After an elbow to the midsection, McHannon takes Harter and slams him face first into the top turnbuckle.

Kris Cruise: Harter had the audacity to claim that Zero has tried and failed to match what he’s done throughout his career. Whether it was in PDW or here in FGA.  

Stephy Auger: Harter may have him beat in the hardware department when it comes to FGA. But Zero isn’t hurting. He’s far from envious or jealous of Harter. Plus, I look at it like this. Would you rather be someone that’s respected worldwide or would you rather be a pariah?

McHannon turns Harter around and unleashes a combination of rights and lefts to the midsection. From there, McHannon drives the air out of the Tenacious Little Bastard with shoulder thrusts to the midsection. He then hooks his arm under Dom’s, takes a few steps out of the corner and then launches him across the ring with a big hip toss. The crowd cheers as Harter immediately sits up and favors his back. McHannon marches over, picks up Harter and nails him with a forearm shot to the jaw, sending Harter stumbling into the ropes. McHannon continues to keep the pressure on Harter. That is, until Harter reaches out and pokes him in the eyes. The crowd boos as Harter follows up by placing McHannon in a side headlock and raking his eyes along the top rope. After McHannon stumbles into the corner, Harter comes up from behind and nails him with a kidney shot. He then turns McHannon around and delivers a series of shoulder thrusts of his own. From there, Harter pummels down McHannon with a series of right hands. After McHannon slumps down in the corner, Harter reaches down and chokes him with his boot while the crowd boos. The ref quickly gives Harter until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Harter breaks the hold… only to choke McHannon again! This time, Harter pulls down on the top rope as well.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Harter reluctantly lets go. Harter reaches down, pulls up McHannon by his beard and lets off a blustering knife edge chop. He then takes McHannon and whips him into the opposite corner. But McHannon bounces from out of the corner and knocks down a charging Harter with a shoulder block. Harter gets back up, but McHannon knocks him down with another shoulder block. Harter gets back to his feet. But McHannon is quick to bring him down to the mat with a double leg takedown. After mounting himself on top of Harter, McHannon hammers down a series of right hands to the face. But Harter is able to roll over on top of McHannon. The Tenacious Little Bastard then mounts himself on top of McHannon and rains down punches to the face. Just just like Harter did him to , McHannon turns the tide as he rolls back over on top of Harter. But this time, he doesn’t mount himself on top of Harter. He just rains down rights and lefts to the face. Harter tries to cover up, but some of the blows still connect. The two men continue rolling on top of each other until they roll over the bottom rope and to the floor.

Kris Cruise: With the bad blood between these two, it was only a matter of time until the action spilled to the outside.

Stephy Auger: Yeah, but neither of these guys want to do anything out there that’s going to get them disqualified!

After getting up to their feet, Harter lunges forward, ramming McHannon back first against the side of the ring. He then takes McHannon and whips him hard into the guard rail. As soon as his back collides with the guard rail, McHannon crumbles to the floor. While McHannon writhes in pain, Harter marches over and kicks off the top half of the steel steps.

Kris Cruise: What is Harter doing?

Harter then picks up McHannon and drags him over onto the bottom part of the steps. After making his way around McHannon, Harter reaches down and picks up the top half of the steps…

Stephy Auger: No! No! No! No! No!

Harter raises the steps high above his head and throws them on at McHannon’s head as the crowd gasps. But McHannon rolls out of the way just in the nick of time.

Kris Cruise: Harter nearly crushed McHannon head with those steep steps!

As McHannon pulls himself up using the edge of the apron, Harter runs over and delivers a punch to the ribs, doubling him over. He then grabs McHannon by the back of the neck and goes to slam him face first into the ring post. But McHannon turns and slams Harter face first into the ring post. The crowd cheers as Harter begins stumbling around ringside. But McHannon isn’t about to let up. He turns Harter around and socks him with a right hand, turning Harter around and sending the Tenacious Little Bastard stumbling away from him. Harter then rolls himself back into the ring. After McHannon gets up on the apron and tries to step back into the ring, Harter runs over and kicks up the middle rope, hitting McHannon right in the family jewels. The crowd boos as McHannon crumbles to the mat and covers himself up in pain.

Kris Cruise: Harter with yet another cheap tactics to slow down McHannon!

The ref scolds Harter for his antics. But Harter nudges the ref out of his way before stomping the hell out of McHannon’s chest. Harter then reaches down, pulls up McHannon and whips him into the corner. From there, Harter runs across the ring and connects with double knees in the corner. He then takes McHannon by the wrist, leads him out of the corner and then nearly takes McHannon’s head off with a short-arm clothesline. But Harter doesn't let go. So he yanks McHannon back up by his wrist before knocking him back down with another short-arm clothesline. But again, Harter doesn’t let go of McHannon’s wrist. Harter yanks Zero back up to his feet and goes for another short-arm clothesline. But McHannon ducks, grabs Harter from behind and counters with an inverted headlock backbreaker. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Harter kicks out.

McHannon picks up Harter, moves him into the corner and then stomps him down with a series of stomps to the chest. McHannon then drops down to one knee before hammering Harter with a flurry of forearm strikes to the face. After grabbing Harter by his hair and slowly pulling him back up to his feet, McHannon takes Harter and goes for an irish whip. But Harter reverses, sending Zero into the opposite corner. Harter then runs across the ring and into the corner. But McHannon counters with a european uppercut. While Harter’s dazed, McHannon quickly steps out of the corner, grabs Harter and delivers an inverted STO onto the middle turnbuckle. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Harter gets his foot on the bottom rope, resulting in boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Harter ate all of that turnbuckle. But he still had the ring presence to get his foot on the bottom rope.  

McHannon picks up Harter and whips him into the ropes. When Harter comes back, Zero bends over to set up a back body drop. But Harter stops and counters with a pulling piledriver. He makes the cover.

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

Harter picks up McHannon, only to bring him back down with a swinging neckbreaker. He makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: Harter now starting to really target the head and neck area of Zero McHannon. He’s clearly setting up for Goodnight to the World.

Stephy Auger: We’ve seen him put down many of the top grapplers in FGA over the years with that move. If he hits it tonight on McHannon, it’s pretty much an automatic victory for him.

Harter picks up McHannon and whips him into the ropes. When McHannon comes back, Harter throws out a lariat. But McHannon ducks and runs into the ropes. When McHannon comes back, Harter throws him down with a powerslam. He hooks the leg.

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

Harter picks up McHannon and whips him hard sternum-first into the corner. As Zero stumbles back, Harter lifts him up and delivers a belly to back suplex. He makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: Yet another nearfall for Dom Harter. The Tenacious Little Bastard is firmly in control of this contest. However, he hasn’t been able to keep Zero McHannon down for the three count.

Stephy Auger: Even though Harter hasn’t gotten the three count, Zero’s still taking a lot of punishment. Zero also has to expend more and more of his energy to get his shoulder up.

As Harter slowly pulls up McHannon, McHannon begins to fight back with rights and lefts to the midsection. But a clubbing shot across the back knocks him down to one knee. From there, Harter knocks McHannon onto his back with a knee lift. He makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: And there goes another nearfall. Harter spent the past three plus months stewing over the fact that Cyncity cost him his chance to threepeat the Gold Rush Rumble. I can understand him being upset. I can understand the disappointment. But he showed his immaturity when he attacked the official that night at Glory Road. But then to sit here all this time plotting revenge on someone who is supposed to be your close friend and then going so far as to break her wrist, it’s uncalled for. Cindy Parker isn’t perfect. She’s had her battles with certain people here in FGA. She went through her phrase where she was not liked by the overwhelming majority of FGA fans thanks to her actions. But at the end of the day, Cynity never set out to injury anyone. She never set out to try and take someone’s livelihood away from them. But that’s what Dom Harter did when he broke her wrist. And this is supposed to be one of her best friends!

Stephy Auger: But not anymore. We heard Cindy talk about it in the leadup to her match earlier tonight with Chris Bond. She’s tired of being taken advantage of. She’s tired of being passed over and picked on. Cyn’s putting her foot down and she’s not having anymore of it. She says she’s going to take something away from Harter. What that is, I don’t know. She may not even know. But Cyncity isn’t going to take this lying down.

Harter picks up McHannon and nails him with a forearm strike, sending McHannon stumbling into the ropes. McHannon then bounces back and fires back with a forearm strike of his own. Harter then shakes it off and delivers another forearm strike. McHannon shakes it off and fires back with a forearm of his own. McHannon pulls his arm back to fire off another forearm. But Harter cuts him off with a kick to the midsection, followed by a headbutt that sends him into the corner. Harter goes over, grabs McHannon and goes for an irish whip. But McHannon reverses, sending Harter into the opposite corner. McHannon then runs, jumps and goes for a Stinger Splash. But Harter moves out of the way, sending McHannon crashing into the corner. After McHannon stumbles back and turns around, Harter lifts him up onto his shoulders for a Samoan Driver. But McHannon repeatedly elbows him in the side of the head. After McHannon slips down, he turns and runs into the ropes. When he comes back, Harter throws him down with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Harter gets up, lifts up McHannon’s leg and delivers kicks to the back as he turns him over into a single leg crab.

Kris Cruise: Harter’s got McHannon right where he wants him.

Stephy Auger: Harter’s been working on McHannon’s back throughout this match. Harter getting the win here by submission would be the ultimate humiliation for Zero McHannon, which is exactly why he’s doing this.

The ref asks McHannon if he wants to give up. But McHannon refuses to quit. So Harter pulls back, increasing the pressure of the hold.

Kris Cruise: Zero’s trying to dig deep. He knows what’s at stake. He knows he so close to getting that shot at the World Champion. But the pain! The pain may be too much for him to block out!

McHannon groans in pain as Harter keeps the hold applied. The ref checks in on McHannon and asks him if he wants to throw in the towel. But again, McHannon refuses to quit. He then begins to pull himself towards the ropes. But Harter is quick to pull McHannon right back towards the center of the ring.

Kris Cruise: I don’t think I’ve seen Harter smile as hard as he’s smiling right now. He’s loving every second of this!

Stephy Auger: We can see Gambino on the outside giving Zero some words of encouragement. But is it too late? Can Zero make it to the ropes?

The ref again asks McHannon if he wants to give up. But just like the last two times he was asked, McHannon refuses to throw in the towel. So McHannon begins to scratch and claw his way towards the ropes. Harter tries to squat down farther to make it harder for McHannon to pull himself towards the ropes. But McHannon doesn’t slow down. McHannon continues to scratch… and claw… and pull… and scratch… and claw… and pull himself towards the ropes. Zero reaches out… and grabs the bottom rope, resulting in a roar of cheers from the crowd.

Stephy Auger: Zero made it to the ropes!

Zero’s got a hold of the bottom rope. But Harter won’t break the hold. The ref yells at Harter to break the hold. But Harter shakes his head, refusing to quit. So the crowd boos and jeers Harter as ref gives him until the count of five to break it up.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIV-

Harter breaks the hold just as the ref had reached the count of five. The ref scolds Harter and tells him to release the hold faster. But Harter responds by nudging the ref out of his way.

Kris Cruise: That’s the second time Harter’s put his hands on the ref! Why hasn’t he been disqualified!?  

Harter picks up McHannon and whips him into the ropes. When McHannon comes back, Harter throws out a yakuza kick. But McHannon catches his foot. He then spins Harter around. When Harter comes back towards him, McHannon delivers the Codebreaker. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

Stephy Auger: Zero wants this win. But as you can see, Dom wants it just as badly.

McHannon picks up Harter and nails him with a right hand. Harter responds with one of his own. McHannon then nails Harter with another right hand. Harter responds with one of his own. McHannon then nails Harter with another right hand. Harter throws out a right hand, but McHannon blocks it and counters with one of his own. Harter throws out another punch. But again, McHannon blocks and counters with one of his own. He then nails Harter with another punch… and ano- … Harter rakes him across the eyes to boos from the crowd. Harter then scoops up McHannon again for the Samoan Driver. But McHannon slips down and counters with an Olympic Slam. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

While McHannon’s doubled over, Harter turns and takes off into the ropes. When Harter comes back, McHannon lifts him up, turns and throws him down with a spinebuster.

Kris Cruise: McHannon throwing Harter down to the canvas with authority!

Stephy Auger: Dom’s reeling, Kris. Dom had firm control of this match but Zero’s wrestled it away from him. Now all of the momentum is on Zero’s sight while Dom’s trying to hold on.

McHannon picks up Harter and lifts him up onto his shoulders with a fireman’s carry. But before McHannon can do anything, Harter elbows him in the side of the head. After Harter slips down from behind, he shoves McHannon into the ref, knocking him down.

Kris Cruise: Oh no!

Stephy Auger: Is the ref alright?

McHannon stands over the ref and checks to see if he’s okay. The ref isn’t knocked out. But he’s favoring his left shoulder. When McHannon gets up and turns around, Harter kicks him below the belt and follows up by planting him with Spin The Black Circle. The crowd boos as Zero appears to be all but out of it.

Kris Cruise: Yet another underhanded tactic by the Tenacious Little Bastard! How is Dom not DQ’d!? How is this match not over!?

Stephy Auger: Kris, it might be over very soon. It might be time for Zero to say Goodnight to the World...

Harter gets up and calls for Goodnight To The World, resulting in a loud roar of boos and jeers from the crowd. But just then, the beginning of "Dam Dadi Do" by Nightcore fills the arena speakers over. Playing over the song was a loud siren, the crowd in the arena on their feet letting their voices be heard. Harter’s eyes widen with shock, then narrow with anger. The lights in the arena dim down just enough for the spotlight in the arena to shine directly on center stage.

Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam
Dam dadi doo dam dam didoodi dam

Harter’s expecting Cyncity to come bursting through the curtains like she always does. But… nothing. The music is quickly cut off, leaving Harter even angrier than he was before. When The Tenacious Little Bastard turns around, McHannon kicks him in the midsection, hoists him up and plants him with a vertical suplex lift into a neckbreaker. Harter can be seen clutching the back of his neck with both hands.

Kris Cruise: Turnabout is fair play!

Stephy Auger: Harter used his theme music as a timely distraction at Above & Beyond IV. Now, he’s just gotten a taste of his own medicine!

McHannon pulls up Harter and then places him in an inverted facelock. From there, McHannon lifts him up and plants him with Zero-Tolerance as the crowd explodes into cheers. The ref then crawls over before making the count...

ONE!

“This Means War” blasts over the PA as the crowd explodes into cheers.

J.A. Aldridge: Here is your winner, ZERO MCHANNON!

After returning to his feet, McHannon gets his arm raised to a monstrous ovation from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Zero McHannon overcame all of Dom Harter’s antics here tonight and now finds himself in the Round Robin Challenge.

Stephy Auger: Zero’s two matches away from gaining a World Championship Match! it’s got to feel good after everything he’s gone through.

Kris Cruise: Harter had several tricks up his sleeve tonight. Unfortunately for the Tenacious Little Bastard, they weren’t enough to put down Zero McHannon for the one, two, three...

(Spencer Burke is standing by.)

Spencer Burke: Spencer Burke here and with me right now is none other than the FGA World Champion, Chandler Scott.

(Chandler Scott walks into the picture feeling as confident as other. He adjusts the World Championship belt across his shoulder before rubbing the center plate.)

Spencer Burke: Now Chandler, earlier today I spoke to you in regards to the Four Year Anniversary Show. Now, I’d like to get your thoughts on your upcoming opponent, Yun Goeun.

Chandler Scott: Yun, you’ve been in many matches before. You’ve been on Pay Per View. You’ve wrestled in large arenas all over. You’ve been in championship match after championship match. But this right here? This right here, Yunny? This is the biggest match of your career, without a doubt. And why is that? Why is this match, this non-title match, the biggest match of your career? Well it’s simple. You’ve never been in the ring with the likes of Chandler Scott. You’ve never been in the ring with someone of my intelligence. You’ve never been in the ring with someone of my skill level. My title isn’t on the line tonight. But it might as well be because there’s so much at stake for you. You, Yun, are three seconds away. You’re three seconds away from being mentioned in the same sentence as the top tier talent here in FGA. You’re three seconds away from being in contention for this championship. But you’re also three seconds away from another heartbreaking loss. You’re three seconds away from all your doubters being proven right yet again. So the choice is yours, Yun. Which way are you going to go? Are you going to rise to the occasion? Are you going to give me the fight of your life? Are you going to pull off the biggest upset of 2015? Or are you simply going to roll over and die? I guess we’ll find out shortly, now won’t we.  

But while Yun’s decision is still up in the air, this much we all know is true. At the end of the match, every head must bow and every tongue must confess that Chandler… Reigns… Supreme.

Chandler Scott vs. Yun Goeun

"Clap Your Hands! Clap Your Hands!
Everyone raise your hands up high!
Let them talk to the sky above!
Clap Your Hands! Clap Your Hands!
This is just the beginning...
K - O - R - E - A"

"Clap Your Hands" by Pink Dolls starts to play over the P.A. system as Yun Goeun emerges from the backstage area. She is smiling wide as the crowd goes crazy for her. The camera pans through the crowd to show there are more than a few fans wearing gear or holding up signs supporting Yun, as well as a few fans with Pink Doll's Merch. Yun stops to look over the arena from the top of the ramp, taking in the moment. As she stands there, her bodyguard Joe Shamrock finally emerges from the back. He pats Yun on the back, Yun smiles and raises her hands for a loud pop from the crowd, as she now starts to walk down the ramp. As Yun walks down the ramp she holds out her hands to give high fives to the fans she walks by.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Seoul, South Korea… YUN GOEUN!

Yun reaches the ringside area as the chorus to "Clap Your Hands" begins to play, causing Yun to clap her hands in time with the rhythm, laughing a bit as she does. She paces back and forth in front of the ring for a second then rushes in sliding under the bottom rope. Yun walks to the center of the ring and raises her arms high to another roar of the crowd as her music dies down.

Kris Cruise: Yun has had her problems with Maurice Graham and his manager, Victoria Sinclair as of late.

Stephy Auger: She has. Her and Maurice had words prior to their match two weeks ago. But it’s Victoria Sinclair that has drawn the ire of The Billion Dollar Baby. Victoria caught Yun off guard with that flipping piledriver. But you can bet that Yun will be more than prepared the next time their paths cross.

The sound of an organ plays throughout the arena, capturing the attention of all the fans in the crowd. They all turn their attention to the entrance way, preparing for the man that’s about to walk out. As "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple kicks in, the crowd begins to boo, jeer and heckle loudly. The camera dolly slowly rolls up towards the curtain. At around the 30 second mark, Chandler Scott pushes through the curtain as the crowd really begins to let him have it. Chandler looks over and can be seen mouthing at the camera while he points an accusatory finger at it. He then turns his attention towards the ring as he thrusts his arms in the air, resulting in another round of loud boos from the crowd.

J.A. Aldridge: And her opponent, from Hyannis, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 228 pounds, he is the reigning FGA World Champion… CHANDLER SCOTT!

Chandler keeps his index fingers in the air, letting everyone know who is truly "number one” around this joint. 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 fists in the air as he absorbs the crowd's disdain for him. After stepping down to the canvas, he can be seen arguing with some fans in the front row.

Kris Cruise: Chandler Scott has been on the top of his game for months now. But at the 4 Year Anniversary Show, he goes up against the Pride Champion, Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine. Tony finally got over the hump by winning the 2014 Frontier Lions Cup. He’s made it no secret that he wants to be the first double champion in FGA. Can Chandler put down the man he’s called friend at the 4 Year Anniversary Show? Is he able to stop Tony Carmine, a man that’s arguably been just as hot as he’s been in 2015?

Stephy Auger: The Frontier Lions Cup was a huge stepping stone for Tony. But you know what? So is this match for Yun. Everyone knows that Yun is far better than her record shows. But for whatever reason, things have just not gone Yun’s way. Tonight may not be a title match. But this is still a huge opportunity for her. A win here tonight could change everything for Yun.

The bell sounds as Yun runs over and catches Chandler off guard, knocking him down with a front dropkick that almost knocks the wind out of him.

Kris Cruise: Yun’s wasting little time going after the champion!

While the champ is slow to return to his feet, Yun quickly steps through the ropes and scales the turnbuckles. When Chandler finally returns to his feet and turns around, Yun connects with a missile dropkick, sending Chandler stumbling through the ropes and to the floor. While Chandler’s on the outside, Yun can be seen frantically waving her arms up in the ring. Once Chandler slowly gets back to his feet, Yun takes off into the far ropes. When she comes back, she continues to charge forward before lunging through the ropes, knocking him down with a suicide dive to cheers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: From the opening bell, Yun has taken the fight to the World Champion!

Stephy Auger: It’s like we said earlier. We know how big of an opportunity this is and Yun isn’t about to let it pass her by. She’s not just here to make a statement. She doesn’t just want to look good and prove that she can hang with one of the best. She wants to win!

Yun picks up Chandler and rolls him back into the ring. She then rolls herself back in before making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

Chandler kicks out.

Yun picks up Chandler, marches into the corner and slams him face first into the top turnbuckle. After turning Chandler around, Yun nails Chandler with palm strikes to the face. But the champ shoves Yun back to create some distance. But Yun comes right back, nailing him with more palm strikes to the face. But again, Chandler shoves Yun back. After taking a few steps back, Yun marches back over into the corner. But Chandler catches her with a boot to the midsection. He then tosses her into the corner and unleashes a series of knife edge chops that echo throughout the arena. Chandler then turns his attention to a few hecklers in the front row and proceeds to give them attitude right back. But when Chandler turns his attention back to Yun, she nails her with a series of knife edge chops. Each chop knocks Chandler further and further away from the corner. But a rake to the eyes brings Yun’s offense to a halt. While she’s trying to recover from the raked eyes, Chandler takes off into the ropes. When he comes back, Yun brings him down with a Lou Thesz Press. The Billion Dollar Baby mounts herself on top of Chandler and hammers down with forearms to the face. She then transitions into a lateral press…

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

Yun grabs him by the arm, pulls him back to his feet and delivers an arm wrench. But Chandler quickly reaches over and reverses into an arm wrench of his own. He then yanks on the arm, bringing Yun down to one knee. As Yun gets back to her feet, Chandler yanks on her arm again. The pain causes Yun to wince as she drops back down to one knee. Chandler then transitions into a top wristlock. He applies pressure to the wrist, causing Yun to cringe in pain. The ref then kneels down next to her and asks if she wants to give up. But Yun shakes her head, refusing to quit. After she regains her composure and rises back to her feet, she rolls forward, leans back, kips up and counters with a headscissors takedown. Chandler gets back to his feet, but Yun knocks him down with a dropkick. Chandler returns to his feet, but Yun returns him to the mat with another dropkick. When Chandler returns to his feet, Yun knocks him down with a standing side kick to the chin. She makes the cover.

ONE!

Chandler gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Yun continues to push the pace in this match!

Stephy Auger: I don’t know if he was caught off guard or he simply underestimated her, but Chandler hasn’t looked like himself in there against Yun.

Yun picks up Chandler and places him in a side headlock. But Chandler quickly shoves Yun off of him and into the ropes. When Yun comes back, she slides through Chandler’s legs. When Chandler turns around, Yun pops back up to her feet and delivers alternating shoot kicks to the legs. She then follows up with a forearm strike before running into the ropes. When Yun comes back, Chandler goes for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. But Yun counters into a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takeover. Chandler tries to get back to his feet. But Yun reaches out, grabs him and brings him back down with a DDT. She makes the cover.

Chandler gets his shoulder up.

Yun picks up Chandler and whips him into the ropes. But instead of coming back, Chandler hangs onto the ropes. He then drops down to his back and rolls out of the ring, garnering bos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: It looks like Chandler is slamming on the brakes in this one.

Stephy Auger: I guess this is the only thing he can do since nothing else has worked thus far.

Chandler takes a breather as he walks around the ring with his hands on hips hips. But unbeknownst to him, Yun has snuck out onto the apron. She then runs along the apron, dives off and brings Chandler down with a flying bulldog. The crowd cheers.

Kris Cruise: Face first onto the floor goes Chandler!

Yun picks up Chandler and rolls him back into the ring. While Chandler is still down, Yun hops onto the apron. She then springboards onto the top turnbuckle before flipping back for a moonsault...

Stephy Auger: Here she comes!

… but Chandler gets his knees, causing Yun to crash on top of them to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: And that right there may be what stops Yun. She crashed down hard across the knees of Chandler Scott.

After bouncing off of Chandler’s knees, Yun curls up as she guards her torso. Chandler immediately gets back to his feet and marches over towards her. He delivers several kicks to the back. From there, he moves to the other side of Yun and kicks her over onto her back. He then proceeds to deliver several stomps to the midsection. Chandler reaches down, yanks up Yun by her hair and tosses her across the ring. Chandler over over, reaches down, yanks up Yun by her hair again and throws her across the ring. Chandler marches back over to Yun, pulls her up and whips her into the corner. From there, Chandler charges into the corner. But Yun nails him with an elbow to the face, sending him stumbling back. After shaking off the blow, Chandler runs back into the corner. This time, Yun nails him with a boot to the face. As Chandler stumbles back, Yun comes running out of the corner to attack. But Chandler runs over and delivers a kitchen sink, sending Yun flipping over his knee. The crowd boos as he makes the cover.

Yun gets her shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: A nearfall by the World Champion. Chandler was able to counter Yun coming from out of the corner. But Chandler didn’t use just any counter. He threw out a move that specifically targeted the torso. Yun may or may not have broken ribs. But she’s not moving nearly as fast as she was at the top of this one.

Chandler picks up Yun, moves her into the corner and delivers a series of shoulder thrusts to the midsection. He then steps back, only to drive his fist into Yun’s stomach several times. While Yun’s doubled over, Chandler pulls her from out of the corner by her hair and follows up with a snap suplex. He turns over and makes the cover.

Chandler sits up Yun and applies a rear chinlock. The ref asks her if she wants to give up. But Yun doesn’t quit. So Chandler pulls back, increasing the pressure of the hold.

Kris Cruise: After struggling early, Chandler’s brought this match down to the pace that he likes to fight at. And now, he’s trying to really wear down Yun.

Chandler continues to keep the hold tightly applied. But Yun still won’t quit. The ref checks in with her again, asking if she’d like to give up. But Yun refuses.

The crowd begins to rally behind Yun with chants of “Aja Aja! HWAITING!” Yun begins to feed off the energy of the crowd. As she slowly turns over onto her knees, Chandler can be seen shaking his head in disbelief. Yun then slowly gets up to her feet. After delivering a series of elbows to the midsection, Yun goes to run into the ropes. But Chandler grabs Yun, yanks her back over to him and knees her in the midsection.

So Chandler tries for another superplex but again, Yun blocks the move. After punching Chandler several times in the midsection, Yun shoves Chandler off the ropes and sends him crashing to the mat.

Kris Cruise: Yun rocked Chandler with that roundhouse kick to the head. But she doesn't have enough energy to make the cover.  

As Yun pulls herself up using the ropes, Chandler begins to stir on the mat. When he gets back to his feet and turns around, he’s met by a barrage of forearms strikes from Yun.

When Yun reaches the top, she leaps off, going for All-Kill...

Stephy Auger: Chandler rolled out of the way!

The crowd boos as Yun’s knee crashes onto the canvas. Yun immediately curls up and holds her left knee with both hands. She then turns from side to side as she cringes in pain. Meanwhile, Chandler begins to stir and then turns overs onto his knees. Once Yun slowly gets up and turns around, Chandler hoists her up onto his shoulders and delivers a fireman's carry gutbuster. The crowd boos as Yun curls up.

After the match, Chandler gets his arm raised to a large number of boos and jeers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Chandler gets the win here tonight. But it wasn’t a dominant performance by any means.  

Stephy Auger: No it wasn’t. Yun took it to the champ from bell to bell. But all Chandler needs is a small opening and once he got it, he took advantage.

Kris Cruise: And now that Chandler has left the ring, this capacity crowd here in White Plains is giving Yun the respe-

Stephy Auger: Now wait, what is this?

The cheers turn to boos as Victoria Sinclair slowly makes her way down the aisle. Victoria immediately gains Yun’s attention. Yun can be seen waving Victoria into the ring.

Kris Cruise: I don’t know if this is a good idea, Yun.

Victoria begins to climb up onto the apron. But she’s quickly yanked back down by Ling Ling. Victoria throws out a right hand. But Ling ducks and dives Victoria back with a series of right hands of her own. The crowd cheers as Ling continues to fight off Victoria.

Kris Cruise: The Lingster’s come to the aid of her HALLYU GENERA-

*crack*

Yun drops down face first to the canvas. When Ling turns back around and sees what happened, she sees Maurice Graham standing over Yun with a steel chair in hand. The crowd boos as Graham surveys the damage he’s just caused.

Stephy Auger: Maurice Graham just nearly bent that chair in half across the back of Yun! And now here comes Ling Ling!

As soon as Ling Ling slides into the ring, Graham retreats to the floor. The crowd boos as Graham circles around ringside and meets up with Sinclair in the aisle. Ling kneels down next to her partner. Yun was already hurting from the match with Chandler. Now she’s got another body part that needs tending to.
