Frontier To The Future 2

[FGA Office]

The feed pans around Hanes Gym at Greensboro College, capturing the excited crowd. Chants for LDFC, SSWA, HKW, rEvo and more break out throughout several sections of the crowd. We then transition to the ringside area, where Geoff Penzer is standing by...

Geoff Penzer: Welcome to the Old North State! Welcome to Greensboro, North Carolina! Welcome… to the FUTURE! Hello everyone, I’m Geoff Penzer and this is Frontier to the Future 2! Tonight, we are going to be showcasing some young, promising prospects throughout the wrestling world. We’re also going to present to you some of the hottest young stars doing it right now. Last year, this event showcased the likes of Julian Savell, DeMarcus Gresham, Fran, Jessica Sears, Luke Jackson, Aria Hall and Flipp Porter, just to name a few. This year, we arguably have just as stacked of a card. Of course, tonight’s event is being headlined by a match for the Carolina Cup!

LDFC’s very own Crimson Baroness will be defending the cup on behalf of Lion’s Den. She’ll be taking on none other than the woman that many claim to be the Ace of rEvolution Wrestling, Sydney Christensen! Sydney is an accomplished athlete with many championships and accolades to her name. Tonight, she could very well add the Carolina Cup to her trophy case. But on the other side of the ring stands The Crimson Baroness. She’s been described as a lot of things. Talented. Intelligent. But she’s also been described as sneaky, underhanded, conniving, just to name a few. We’ve seen over the past several months that the Baroness tends to have a plan in place. Does she have a trick up her sleeve tonight? Or will the North Star shine as she comes away victorious in tonight’s main event?

Also on the card, the Apex Champion on LDFC, Nest, goes one on one with Luke Wisia.

Luke Wisia has never been one to hold his tongue. He wasn’t exactly shy about sharing his feelings on Nest. However, Wisia may have just talked himself into a situation that he cannot get out of. This is not Twitter. This is a wrestling ring and Wisia will learn tonight that there are consequences for his actions. Nest is the Apex Champion for a reason. There’s no arguing about this. Nest has been the dominant wrestler here in LDFC and tonight, Wisia may just find out why this is his house, his rules and his Nest. Then of course, we’ve got a big SSWA showdown as the new SSWA Heavyweight Champion Macy Dover clashes against a man that is quickly becoming her rival, Gage Kaiser!

Kaiser has recently lost to Dover twice. Once in the Rookie X Cup and again in the UK Cup. Now Dover hasn’t exactly been making friends with her attitude for these past few months. But her actions at the recent SSWA Supercard, when she attacked Kickass Smurf after a grueling Ironman Match to win the SSWA Championship, has drawn the ire of many SSWA stars. One of those stars is Kaiser, who has a score to settle. Will Kaiser finally get that elusive win over Dover tonight? Or will the SSWA Champ make it 3-0 against The Western Ronin?

Also tonight, we’ve got two HKW megastars going at it as Emilio Vialpando goes up against Levi Chambers! Two of LDFC’s finest go head to head when Jason Bronco squares off against Shintaro Majima! Speaking of LDFC, our very own Becky will be making her in-ring debut tonight against third generation wrestler Kennedy Black! And in our opening contest, it’s going to be The Young Hit Wonder, Shawn Young, going up against Malcolm Xaba! But before we send it to the ring, let’s send it to the back!

[FGA Office]

After the show opened up, we go backstage inside of Shawn Young's locker room as you see Shawn looking very nervous, even with his mentor Stefan Raab reassuring him as he's seen jumping to get himself ready for the match, but there's the look of nerves on him. Stefan sits watching Shawn doing a lot of jumping jacks until he stops with Stefan seeing the nerves of his mentee's face and he says this.

Stefan Raab: "You'll be alright Shawn. Don't worry that you've not wrestled for a while. I advised and trained you to get you ready. Take this from me that you are ready for this match."

Shawn Young: "You're right Stefan. It's just that I had nerves because of how I'll perform in the ring again like will I screw up like I did against Outlaw?"

Stefan Raab: "You learned a lot from that match and I know this seems to be at a much bigger stage for you, but trust me, you can do this and I wouldn't worry about the past. I see a lot of future in you and that's why you know I took you under my wing."

Most people see Stefan as this horrible nasty guy, but as he's taken a few steps back from social media, he's really changed and turning out to be a respectable guy towards the business and even helping Shawn out with his career. Shawn nods at him and starts to see Stefan encouraging him and speaks.

Shawn Young: "Yes, you are right that I can do this match and not worry about the past and do what I came back to do, get my name known again. I hope people see what I do and impress them to get signed to a contract with a company."

Stefan Raab: "Me too. Now go out there and show the world what you and I know can do. I'm gonna leave you alone for a while and take a seat with my other trainees like yourself I'm and in a way you're training. I'll see you after the match."

Shawn nods as he sees his mentor leave the locker room and he does a few more warm up exercises and taking deep breaths before the cameras go at ringside to call out the first wrestler in the upcoming match.

[FGA Office]

The opening notes of "Personal Jesus" were sounded, as "Reach out and touch faith!!!!" is sounded over the PA system, immediately triggering a shower of boos from the fans. Malcolm comes out, arms stretched out, acting as if he was a savior to the people, while fans blown underneath him at an angle, to make his hair and shirt flow backwards.

Tony Allen: The following is your opening contest and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Capetown, South Africa! Weighing in at 197 pounds… MALCOLM XABA!

They stop, as he advanced towards the ring with an arrogant swagger, before sliding into the ring, and ditching the shirt at ringside before his match.

Geoff Penzer: Malcolm Xaba and Shawn Young are going to kick off tonight’s event. There are a lot of eyes watching this event tonight. Peers, talent evaluators, potential suitors. From the opening contest all the way to the main event, there’s going to be people watching every move these young wrestlers make. Hopefully, they make each and every one of them count.

Song 2 by Blur plays over the sound system as Shawn skips through the curtain wearing red and yellow trunks with a red and yellow hooded coat. He puts his arm in the air before walking down the ramp, high fiving the fans as he rolls into the ring and climbs on the turnbuckle and takes the hood down and shouts Woo-hoo with his right arm up with the crowd cheering for him as he then climbs down, takes his coat off and jumping around as he waits for his opponent to come out.

Tony Allen: And his opponent, from Seattle, Washington! Weighing in at 209 pounds! He is “The Young Hit Wonder”, SHAWN YOUNG!

The bell sounds as Xaba and Young circle the ring before locking up. Young quickly gains the advantage with a side headlock. But Xaba shoves Young off of him and into the ropes. When Young returns, Xaba knocks him down with a shoulderblock. He then showboats for a bit before running into the ropes. When he comes, Young, who has returned to a vertical base with a kip up, leap frogs over him. Xaba then continues to run into the far ropes. When Xaba comes back, Young knocks him down with a flipping dropkick to cheers from the crowd. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
Xaba kicks out.

Geoff Penzer: Young with our first nearfall of the night. Young is one of the few free agents on tonight’s show. If anyone wants to impress those watching, it’s The Young Hit Wonder.

Young brings Xaba back to his feet and delivers an arm wrench. But Xaba is quick to reach over and rake him across the eyes, garnering boos from the crowd. After moving Young into the corner, Xaba delivers three knife edge chops. He then takes Young, delivers an irish whip and follows him into the opposite corner. But instead of crashing into the corner, Young runs up the turnbuckle and then backflips off the top turnbuckle. Once he lands on his feet, he turns and runs into the ropes. When Xaba heads out of the corner and back towards the center of the ring, Young brings him down with a headscissors takeover. Xaba gets back to his feet, but Young knocks him down with a dropkick. Xaba gets back to his feet, but Young sends him back down with another dropkick. When Xaba returns to his feet, Young throws out a roundhouse kick. But Xaba ducks, grabs Young from behind, runs and tosses him over the top rope. Xaba then turns his attention to the crowd and showboats. But unbeknownst to him, Young is still hanging onto the top rope. Young then skins the cat, pulling himself over the top rope and back into the ring. Xaba turns and sees this. So he runs at Young. But Young dumps him over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd cheers as Xaba is sprawled out on the floor.

Geoff Penzer: Xaba thought he dispatched on Young. But Young showed his athleticism there. And it looks like he’s about to show it again with a dive to the outside!

While Xaba gets up on the outside, Young takes off into the far ropes. When Young comes back, Xaba slides in and cuts him off with a clothesline. The crowd boos as he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Young kicks out.

Xaba picks up Young and whips him into the ropes. When Young returns, Xaba nails him with a running knee to the gut, sending Young flipping down to the canvas. Xaba then reaches down, picks up Young and delivers a fireman’s carry gutbuster. He makes the cover.

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

Xaba picks up Young and whips him into the ropes. When Young returns, Xaba throws him down with a back body drop. He follows up with a double foot stomp to the gut. He then makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Young gets his shoulder up.

Xaba picks up Young, scoops him up from the side and delivers a pendulum backbreaker. He makes the cover.

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

Geoff Penzer: Xaba’s zeroed in on a body part and is going to work. The more Xaba works over that midsection, the harder it’s going to be for Young to breathe. He’s going to get tired quicker, so he’s not going to be able to run as fast or fly as high as he normally would. Some sound strategy here by Xaba who now looks like he’s going to wear down Young with a submission hold....

Xaba picks up Young, knees him in the midsection and applies an abdominal stretch. The ref asks Young if he wants to give up. But he refuses. So Xaba applies more pressure to the hold. After a few, the ref checks back in on Young. He asks Young if he wants to give up. But Young will not give up. So Xaba reaches back and pulls on the middle rope, causing Young to groan in pain. The crowd boos at the blatant cheating by Xaba. Once the ref looks up, Xaba lets go of the ropes. The ref then scolds Xaba for cheating. But Xaba swears up and down that he didn’t do it. Young’s then able to power out and counter with a hip toss.

Geoff Penzer: That lapse in concentration just cost Xaba there. Let’s see if Young can fight his way back into this one...

After both men get up, Young runs at Xaba. Xaba throws out a clothesline. But Young ducks and runs into the ropes. When he returns, he knocks Xaba down with a spinning heel kick, resulting in cheers from the crowd. He makes the cover.

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

Young picks up Xaba and goes for an irish whip. But Xaba reverses, sending Young into the ropes. When Young returns, Xaba goes for a double leg spinebuster. But Young nails him in the head with an elbow on the way up. After Young drops down, he jumps back up and plants Xaba with a jumping DDT. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

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

Young picks up Xaba and goes for a vertical suplex. But Xaba slips down from behind. He then spins Young around and lifts him up for another fireman’s carry gutbuster. But Young elbows him repeatedly in the side of the head. After slipping down from behind, he turns around Xaba, kicks him in the gut, lifts him up and plants him with a brainbuster. After dragging Xaba into position, Young steps out onto the apron. Young then scales the turnbuckles, flips off and connects with the Young Hit Star Press.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

“Song 2” plays over the PA as the crowd cheers.

Tony Allen: Here is your winner, SHAWN YOUNG!

Young gets his arm raised to cheers from the crowd.

Geoff Penzer: Young sets the tone as he picks up the win here tonight. The Young Hit Wonder looked to be in good form for someone that hasn’t competed in a few months. Xaba gave it his best and even tried to cheat when that didn’t work. But even that wasn’t enough to stop Shawn Young here tonight.

[FGA Office]

The scene switches to the back, cameras focused on a pair of black boots as the wearer finishes tying them. The camera follows as the person rises to their feet, turning and walking toward a full-body mirror. As the camera pans up the crowd erupts into cheers, seeing the smiling face of Becky decked out in her new #BRUTALapparel gear. She pulls her hair back into a ponytail, wrapping it in a white hair band as there is a knock at the door.

Becky: Come in!

Annie Zellor: Heyyy Becky!

Her #BRUTAL sister bounds into the locker room, wearing one of the company t-shirts as you’d expect, and immediately wraps her arms around Becky in a tight hug. As she releases the hug, Becky turns back to the mirror, a giddy smile on her face as she holds out her arms.

Becky: What do you think? I can’t believe he did thisss!

Annie Zellor: You look AMAZING!

She says taking in the full sight of Becky, decked out in all #BRUTAL gear and gives the youngster a big thumbs up.

Annie Zellor: And you totally look like a real wrestler now too. Soooo, are you excited about your match tonight?

Becky: Excited, yes. But… I’m getting really nervous. Everybody is going to be watching me. How many people are out there?

Turning back to Annie she takes a step back and lowers onto the bench, scratching at her wrist tape.

Becky: Wait, maybe… is it better if you don’t know?

Annie Zellor: There’s probably a couple of hundred here, maybe a thousand or so. But there’s even more watching online too, and they wanna see you debut against Kennedy Black. And I wanna see you wrestle too, ‘cause I know you’re gonna do awesome out there!

She blushes at the sound of how many people are out there, but her face lights up at the inspiring words from her idol. She nods a couple of times.

Becky: Thanks, Annieee! I think I’m ready.

She reaches down into the bag at her feet, pulling something out and slipping it into her mouth as she stands back up, trying to talk through the #BRUTAL mouth guard as she attempts to make an intimidating face.

Becky: How’s my #grrface?

Annie throws up the devil horns as she yells.

Annie Zellor: FIERCE! Now go out there and kick serious butt, just like I know you can.

She nods, taking a deep breath as her heart starts to race, before turning and walking out of the locker room. Annie follows close behind, eager to get back to her seat at ringside before this match is ready to start.

[FGA Office]

The lights turn pink as Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" plays over the sound system, and after a few seconds Becky steps out through the curtain giddy and smiling. She holds up a fist in the air, before moving quickly to the fans and slapping a few hands. But then as if she realized something, she refocuses and charges up the ring steps.

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia … She is making her LDFC debut, BECKY!

After ducking into the ring, she hits the opposite side of ropes and bounces back before moving to the corner, stretching out against the turnbuckle.

The opening riff of "Hell on Heels" begins to play through the speakers as the venue immediately darkens. The short chorus that opens the song soon comes to an end, and Kennedy soon steps through the black curtain with an intense look on her face. Standing in front of the curtain, Kennedy briefly looks out into the crowd before making her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans seated at the aisle.

Tony Allen: And her opponent, from Savannah, Georgia, representing the East Coast Wrestling Federation, KENNEDY BLACK!

As she approaches the ring, Kennedy pulls herself up onto the ring apron and springs herself over the top rope. The moment she lands on the ring apron, Kennedy leaps up into the turnbuckle and throws her arms up high, motioning for the crowd to get behind her. Turning around, she hops down off the turnbuckle and removed her denim jacket, waiting for the match to get underway.

Geoff Penzer: And here we go with our second contest of the night, the debuting Becky taking on Kennedy Black. We’ve seen Becky around on previous shows, but tonight is the first time she’s competed. Ever.

The bell sounds to start the match as both competitors begin by circling the ring. The LDFC fans are cheering for their homegrown wrestler, Becky, causing the youngster to grow visibly excited. The pair of them lock up collar and elbow, and Kennedy gains the immediate advantage with a go behind, taking Becky to the mat with a belly-to-back suplex. The takedown transitions into a front facelock as Kennedy locks in the arm, but Becky begins to fight her way back up to a kneeling position.

Geoff Penzer: The experience factor coming into play early on here. Kennedy Black can possibly control this match if she wants, and just frustrate Becky.

Kennedy Black fires off a few knees to the face, rocking her opponent before she takes Becky over with a snap suplex. Black floats over, sitting astride her opponent’s torso as she picks Becky up to a seated position, applying a butterfly hold submission. The referee checks for a submission, but Becky won’t give up that easily. After nearly fifteen seconds in the hold, Becky still can’t find a way out, so Kennedy drags her up to her feet, albeit with her arms still captured. A quick butterfly suplex brings Becky back down to the mat as Kennedy goes for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
But Becky kicks out.

Unrelenting, Kennedy drags her opponens right back to her feet, and throws the seemingly timid Becky towards the corner with an Irish whip. The youngster hits the turnbuckles hard as Black charges in, landing an elbow smash across the jaw. Another Irish whip sends Becky from pillar to post as Kennedy follows her in again – only to run straight into the raised boot! Black staggers backwards, but Becky remains in the corner, unsure of what to do. And she gives Kennedy enough time to recover, so Black rushes her opponent with a clothesline in the corner!

Geoff Penzer: Becky failed to capitalize on the opening, and she paid the price right there.

Becky staggers out of the corner and gets doubled over with a toe kick to the midsection. Black hooks her leg and her head, and slams Becky down to the canvas with a swinging leg hook fireman’s carry slam before going for the cover again.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
But Becky gets the shoulder up.

Geoff Penzer: An impressive slam by Kennedy Black there, but not enough to put Becky down for three.

Becky rolls away, moving towards the ropes to try and get back to her feet as Kennedy Black follows her, kicking at Becky several times. Black drags the youngster back to a vertical base, and sends her across the ring with an Irish whip. Kennedy throws a clothesline, but Becky ducks underneath it and hits the ropes again, coming off them with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors – albeit not the prettiest one in the world. The fans pop as both competitors scramble back to their feet. Black throws another clothesline, and again it’s ducked. But Becky also grabs the arm, and brings Kennedy in close for a double knee armbreaker!

Geoff Penzer: Becky finds the opening she’s been looking for!

With her trepidation easing, Becky gets back up as fast as she can. She’s followed close behind by Kennedy Black, as Becky rolls her up from behind with a schoolboy!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Kennedy kicks out!

Both competitors stand back up, and Becky executes a hiptoss. Kennedy gets right back up, only to get taken down by a second hiptoss. Black gets back up again, and this time Becky whips her towards the corner. Becky goes to follow up, but Kennedy dives out of the way, and Becky hits the turnbuckle chest first. She staggers out of the corner, and Kennedy Black grabs her opponent around the waist before throwing Becky overhead with a German suplex!

Geoff Penzer: I felt that one from here!

There’s no chance of a pin, however, as Becky rolls to the outside, clutching at the back of her head. In the ring, Kennedy waits patiently for her opponent to use the guard rails to stand back up; Becky is still clutching at her head as she reaches her vertical base, so Kennedy hits the far ropes, coming back with a suicide dive – NO! Becky counters with a dropkick!

The fans are beginning to cheer for Becky again, louder than before, as the youngster rolls Kennedy Black back into the ring. The ECWF wrestler is laid out as Becky looks towards the corner; the fans cheer her on as Becky begins her slow and unsteady ascent to the top rope. Kennedy begins to stir as Becky reaches the top turnbuckle, and she leaps with a crossbody block! It connects and she goes for the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Kennedy kicks out!

Becky looks to the official to be sure, but the referee holds up two fingers. Undeterred, the youngster gets back up and runs against the ropes. Black pushes herself up to her feet, albeit doubled over, as Becky hits the bulldog. As she pops back to her feet this time, Becky has a wide smile on her face. The adrenaline is flowing, the excitement beginning to creep in as she plays up to the crowd for a second or two; Kennedy pushes herself back up to a kneeling position as Becky rushes her, tagging Kennedy with The Scoreboard Clock right to the face! And a hook of the leg.

Geoff Penzer: This could be it…

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

Kennedy kicks out, and Becky can’t quite believe it. The official assures her it was only a two count, so Becky gets back up again. This time, however, she lies in wait for Kennedy Black to stand up also. Becky grabs her opponent around the head and leaps up in the air for a standing shiranui! No pin attempt, however, as Kennedy rolls backwards, pushing herself up from her knees to a standing position out of sheer instinct as Becky runs in – Gimme An S! Black is driven into the mat with the leaping reverse STO, and Becky hooks the leg.

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

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, BECKY!

“Bad Blood” starts playing throughout the arena as the referee raises Becky’s arm in victory. The LDFC fans are pleased to see the youngster win her debut match, and are cheering her on as such.

Geoff Penzer: A debut victory for Becky here, and Kennedy Black has to be disappointed. A third generation wrestling such as herself probably feels like she should have won. But tonight is Becky’s night.

[FGA Office]

Geoff Penzer: Coming up next, two of LDFC’s finest will go at it as Jason Bronco squares off against Shintaro Majima! But before we get to that, I’ve got an announcement to make! Now if you’ve been following our Twitter account, our social media ambassador/backstage interviewer Jessie Pederson has been teasing several things pertaining to the Old North State for the past week or so. Well, I was informed earlier today that we can officially announce that a new championship will be making its way to Lion’s Den FC in the coming weeks! At the 3rd Strike supercard, there is going to be a “Battle for the Old North”. This battle royal will consist of the likes of Aric Keaton, Kellen Klein, Mercy Williams, Skylar Cloud, Aric Keaton, Butcher and Shintaro Majima. The winner of this match will be crowned the first Old North Champion! We caught up with The Strong Style Savior earlier today. This is what he had to say...

[FGA Office]

We catch up with Shintaro Majima backstage at the James G. Hanes Physical Education Building after hearing about the creation of the Old North Championship, as well as his place in the battle royal to crown the inaugural champion

Shintaro Majima: Well this changes things. Before there was just one title for everyone to strive for, and yet with just one title that means that a lot of people will have to wait a long time to be recognised. Now there is another title, which brings fresh competition - and fresh opportunities.

What appeals to me isn't just the opportunity to raise a title, but the opportunity to be the first to raise the title. While a title reign has a beginning and an end, being the first to hold the title is something that cannot be taken away, as the first champion sets the standard that should follow him. And with a title in my hands, I will have people challenging me, which means just one thing: I will finally have the stage to turn back challenger after challenger and prove to myself just as I will prove to everyone else what I am capable of.

[FGA Office]

The opening guitar riff of "Dirty Angel" by Voodoo Johnson hits the speakers as a thin cloud of smoke billows and the lights start to strobe on the entrance curtain in time with the drum-line. As the lyrics begin, Jason Bronco emerges from behind the curtain in a black Black denim vest with a white bronco decal on the back and the name "BRONCO" across the shoulders over a dark gray hoodie.

Tony Allen: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 183 pounds… JASON BRONCO!

Bronco stops for a beat, facing sidelong, and raises his eyes up to the ring before proceeding down the entrance way. He extends his taped hands to the fans along the way, as he fully circles the ring clockwise before hopping onto the apron, moving to near turnbuckle and ascending it.

Geoff Penzer: Jason Bronco made his splash in LDFC by coming to the aid of Chris Bond during his feud with Hans Kuntz and Liesl Albrecht, unaffectionately known as “ze Germans.” After losing his first match here at 2nd Impact to the duo, Bronco is riding a winning streak that he looks to continue tonight. But Bronco knows that he’s got even stiffer competition on the other side of the ring tonight in the form of The Strong Style Savior.

The arena lights dim as "Rhino Jockey" begins to play, before gold and reddish-orange lights slowly illuminate the entranceway. As the primal buzz of the bassline starts to build, the lights begin to flicker in sync with it, as the bassline grows and grows in its intensity until Shintaro Majima appears at the top of the ramp and walks towards the ring without a moment's hesitation.

Tony Allen: And his opponent, from Giju, Japan! Weighing in at 242 pounds! He is “The Strong Style Savior”, SHINTARO MAJIMA!

Majima reaches ringside and climbs the ring steps, stepping through the ropes into the ring, where he loosens his ring robe and standing in the nearest corner before removing his dark sunglasses and locking eyes with his opponent.

Geoff Penzer: Shintaro Majima returned to the states this past Summer after an excursion here some years ago. Majima has been highly touted since day one and has all the potential in the world. But one knock on ShiMa has been his lack of killer instinct. Well it appears that his killer instinct has been found as of late as he’s rattled off a string of impressive performances. Now, The Strong Style Savior looks to keep his momentum rolling against the son of New England wrestling legend, Isaac Bronco.

The bell sounds as Bronco and Majima shake hands before circling the ring. The two LDFC trainees then size each other up before locking up. After jockeying for position, Majima places Bronco in a side headlock. But Bronco is quick to slip out and reverse into a hammerlock. After shifting around, Majima leans forward and reverses into a hammerlock of his own. But Bronco is able to reach back with his free arm and reverse into a side headlock. Majima then shoves Bronco off of him and into the ropes. When Bronco comes back, Majima knocks him down with a shoulder block. He then goes to deliver a stomp to Bronco’s face, but Bronco rolls out of the way.

As Bronco tries to get back to his feet, Majima lunges over and applies a front facelock. The ref asks Bronco if he wants to give up. But Bronco refuses. So Majima cinches in the hold, causing Bronco to groan. The ref then checks back in on Bronco and asks if he wants to give up. But again, Bronco refuses. He then reaches up, grabbing a hold of Majima’s arm with both hands. He’s then slowly able to pry Majima’s arm from around him and reverse into an arm wrench. Majima can be seen seething as Bronco applying pressure to the wrist. The ref checks in and asks if he wants to give up. But Majima shakes his head, refusing to quit. So Bronco clamps onto his wrist and delivers another arm wrench. But Majima is quick to reach over, grab him and reverse into an arm wrench of his own. Bronco then rolls forward, leans back, kips up and reverses into another arm wrench.

Geoff Penzer: Some nice back and forth here between these two men. Neither man has been able to establish their dominance. But this one is still early..

The ref asks Majima if he wants to give up. Majima refuses by wagging his finger at the ref. He then rolls forward, turns over onto his knees, gets up and throws down Bronco with a fireman’s carry takeover. He then quickly turns Bronco over onto his stomach and applies a Fujiwara Armbar. But before he can get a fully locked in, Bronco scrambles over and places his foot on the bottom rope.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Majima breaks the hold. He then returns to his feet and waits for Bronco to do the same. After both men circle the ring, they begin to size each other up as they inch closer and closer towards the center of the ring. They then begin to feint strikes, trying to bait the other into making a mistake. In a flash, Majima strikes first, nailing Bronco in the thigh with a shoot kick. Bronco steps back before continuing to circle the ring. Both men continue to size each other up until Bronco returns the favor, nailing Majima with a shoot kick to the thigh. Majima answers back with a shoot kick to the left thigh. Bronco then comes right back with a shoot kick to the left thigh. Majima then delivers another shoot kick. Bronco then answers back with one of his own. Majima then strikes Bronco across the face with a palm strike. Bronco then comes back with one of his own. Majima then takes another swipe at Bronco. But Bronco ducks and nails Majima with another strike… and another… and another. He then goes for another shoot kick. But Majima hooks his arm around Bronco’s leg. He then takes his free arm and delivers an elbow to the top of the thigh. After letting go of the leg Majima steps back and delivers a shoot kick to the lower leg, knocking Bronco down to one knee. He then turns and takes off into the ropes. When Majima comes back, Bronco pops back up to his feet and knocks him down with a dropkick. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
Majima kicks out.

Bronco grabs Majima and quickly brings him down with a side headlock takeover. Majima then reaches up and reverses into a leg scissors headlock. But Bronco is quick to escape with a kip up. After both men turn towards each other, Bronco runs over towards Majima. But Majima brings him down with a side headlock takeover. Bronco then reverses into a leg scissors headlock. Majima then tries to escape with a kip up. But Bronco blocks it. Majima then tries for another kip up. But Bronco keeps his legs locked tight around Majima’s neck. After shifting around on the canvas, Majima rolls over onto his knees. He then reaches up and presses down on Bronco’s thighs. After slowly slipping his head out from between Bronco’s legs, Majima pops up to his feet and connects with a soccer kick to the chest. xMajina then makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Bronco kicks out.

Majima picks up Bronco, moves him into the corner and unleashes a knife edge chops. He then takes Bronco and goes for an irish whip. But Bronco reverses, sending Majima into the opposite corner. Bronco charges across the ring. But Majima nails him with an elbow to the face. After tossing Bronco into the corner, Majima lets out a series of machine gun chops. He then brings Bronco from out of the corner, snapmares him down and delivers a stiff soccer kick to the lower spine. Again, the thud from that kick echoes throughout the arena. Majima then drops down and makes the cover.

ONE!

Bronco kicks out.

Geoff Penzer: This one was pretty even early on but now, Majima has gained control of the match. ShiMa’s got the advantage in terms of experience. But where he really has the advantage is in the strikes. There’s very few in LDFC who can strike with the speed, the force and the accuracy of The Strong Style Savior.

Majima sits up Bronco and places him in a rear chinlock. The ref then kneels down and asks Bronco if he wants to give up. But Bronco refuses. After turning over onto his knees, Bronco gets back up to his feet. He then delivers five elbows to the midsection, breaking the hold. While Majima’s doubled over, Bronco turns and runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he slides through Majima’s legs. When Majima turns around, Bronco gets up to his feet. Majima tries to meet him with a roundhouse kick. But Bronco ducks and counters with a basement dropkick, sending Majima crumbling to the mat.

Geoff Penzer: Uh oh! That basement dropkick caught Majima right on the knee.

Bronco immediately reaches down, grabs Majima’s left leg and turns him over into a single leg crab. Majima can be seen cringing in pain before slapping the canvas once out of frustration. The ref gets down and asks him if he wants to give up. But Majima refuses. So Bronco pulls back, increasing the pressure. Majima can be seen groaning through gritted teeth. He then covers his head with his hands. The ref again asks Majima if he wants to give up. But The Strong Style Savior refuses. He then begins to slowly pull himself across the ring. Bronco squats down a little further. But Majima continues to push forward. So Bronco stands up, readjusts his positioning and transitions into a Muta Lock to applause from the crowd. Bronco begins cranking away as Majima can be heard groaning out of discomfort. The ref gets back down and asks Majima if he wants to give up. But again, Majima refuses. Majima then begins to pull himself towards the ropes. Bronco keeps the hold applied. But Majima continues to trudge forward. He then reaches out… and grabs the bottom rope, resulting in applause from the crowd. Bronco then releases the hold.

Geoff Penzer: Bronco tried to wear down ShiMa. But The Strong Style Savior was eventually able to get to the ropes. We’ll see how much those two submission holds took out of him...

Bronco picks up Majima and delivers a stinging knife edge chop. He then takes Majima and goes for an irish whip. But Majima reverses, sending Bronco into the ropes. When Bronco comes back, he once again slides through Majima’s legs. When Majima turns around, Bronco goes for another basement dropkick. But Majima sidesteps and swats him down. As Bronco gets back to a vertical base, Majima throws out another roundhouse kick. But once again, Bronco ducks. He then wraps his arms around Majima and lifts him up for a German Suplex. But Majima elbows him on the way up. He then performs a standing switch, grabs Bronco from behind and delivers the GOJU50 to boos from the crowd. He makes the cover.

He then elbows Bronco in the face, performs a standing switch and goes for a German of his own. But Bronco blocks it. He then elbows Majima in the face. But Majima keeps the waist lock applied. He then reaches down and tries to pry Majima’s arms from around his waist. But Majima’s got his hands locked tight. So Bronco stomps on Majima’s toe, then flings his head back, nailing Majima in the nose with the back of his head. Once the hold is broken, Bronco follows up with a Pele Kick to cheers from the crowd.

Tony Allen: Here is your winner, SHINTARO MAJIMA!

Majima returns to his feet and gets his arm raised in victory.

Geoff Penzer: Shintaro Majima keeps his momentum rolling as he defeats Jason Bronco! ShiMa may not be the most well-liked person in LDFC. But the fans have always respected him for his talent and we saw exactly why in that matchup. No cheapshots. None of that nonsense. Just two men going at it and unfortunately for Bronco, the Strong Style Savior came away victorious.

After the match, Majima stands with his hands on his hips and waits for Bronco to get back to his feet. Once Bronco finally returns to a vertical base, the two men stare at each other before giving each other a knowing nod. Majima then walks past Bronco before exiting the ring.

"Pain" by Three Days Grace hits the speaker as the fans get real loud in a wave of boos. A white light blinds out the ramp, up to the stage and then the light grows an eerie red through the area while the top of the stage is has red smoke. Luke Wisia walks from the back and onto the ramp wearing a cocky smile. The smoke drifts away, leaving Luke standing at the top and looking around at the ground to the music and jeers.

The fans start to chant "Cra-Zy, Cra-Zy, Cra-Zy" overtop of Luke's music as he pauses from walking down the ramp and taps himself on the chests, looking over to the fans and replying "That's right". When he reaches in front of the ring, there's fan all around leaning over the barrier and throwing hate his way, but he gives them all a small laugh and narrows his eyes as he nods his head.

Tony Allen: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Hard Knox Wrestling’s “Defiance” brand! From Jersey City, New Jersey! Weighing in at 170 pounds! He is The Unholy One of R.I.P., LUKE WISIA!

He slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope and looks around at the crowd on his knees, using the corner to pull himself up. Luke whips his body off the ropes a few times before jumping on the middle one and using the top rope as support, leaning over and returns yelling at the fans in the manner they were yelling at him. After taking off his RIP jacket, he paces one half of the ring, grabbing his hair from time to time, and waiting for the match to start.

Geoff Penzer: Luke Wisia has shown nothing but disrespect towards the Apex Champion, Nest. He claims that tonight, he’s going to show Nest why he’s in the big leagues and why Nest is still stuck in the little leagues. Wisia may be the same height as Nest. But he’s giving up well over 100 pounds in this one. The Unholy One has not backed down from his words towards Nest. But as I said earlier, this is not Twitter. Wisia can type in all caps all he wants. But when that bell sounds, he’s going to have to start throwing hands and I’m not sure if he can go blow to blow with Nest.

The opening to Deftones' "Cherry Waves" plays as a small screen of smoke cover the ground of the stage. As the first rift blasts through the venue, Nest walks through the curtain breathing heavily. Keeping his head down he looks out to the crowd briefly before eyeing the ring ahead, making his way down the ramp with an alarming sense of urgency.

Tony Allen: And his opponent, from Rocky Mount, North Carolina! Weighing in t 312 pounds! He is the reigning Apex Champion… NEST!

Nest stops right before he gets to the apron, holding out both of his arms with pitchfork hand signs along with a scream. He rolls in the ring and starts cracking his knuckles as the music dies down.

Geoff Penzer: And there is the Apex Champion. Nest has been on the top of the mountain since winning the Apex Championship in the finals of the Field of Pride tournament. There’s been plenty of competitors that have come through those doors and have been successful. They’ve gone on streaks. But the one man that has sustained that high level of performance for months on end has been Nest. Can he do it again tonight? Can he secure another win? He’s much bigger than Wisia. He should be able to manhandle him. But there’s something about Wisia that’s a little off. There’s something about Wisia that’s unpredictable and that could prove to be a big problem for Nest tonight.

The bell sounds as Wisia runs over and delivers a basement dropkick, knocking Nest down to one knee.

Geoff Penzer: And Wisia isn’t wasting any time going after Nest!

Wisia quickly gets back up and hammers away at Nest with a flurry of right hands as the crowd boos. But Nest shoves Wisia away from him and into the ropes. After bouncing off the ropes, Wisia comes right back at Nest, hammering away with another barrage of right hands. But Nest knees him in the midsection and then launches him across the ring with a hip toss. As Wisia gets up, Nest marches across the ring and moves him into the corner. From there, Nest delivers a series of knife edge chops that echo throughout the arena. He then takes Wisia and whips him into the opposite corner. Nest then charges across the ring. But Wisia nails him with a hard elbow to the face. While Nest is dazed, Wisia hoists himself up onto the middle ropes, jumps off and brings Nest down with a diving arm drag. He makes the cover.

He then takes Wisia and whips him into the opposite corner. Nest then runs across the ring, jumps and goes for a corner splash. But Wisia moves out of the way, causing Nest to crash into the corner to boos from the crowd. After turning Nest around, Wisia nails him with a series of rights and lefts to the midsection, followed by a series of shoulder thrusts. Wisia then pummels down Nest in the corner with a flurry of right hands as the crowd continues to boo.

Geoff Penzer: Wisia is just hammering away on Nest like we’ve never seen before. I’m a little shocked by what I’m seeing.

Wisia steps back and begins to stomp away on Nest’s chest before choking him with his boot. He then pulls down on the top rope as the ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Wisia lets go… only to kneel down and choke Nest with his bare hands.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR....

Wisia lets go. He then grabs Nest by his beard and slowly pulls him back up to his feet. After a knee to the midsection, Wisia takes Nest and whips him into the ropes. When Nest comes back, Wisia nails him with a back elbow to the face, sending Nest stumbling back. So Wisia turns and runs into the far ropes. When he comes back, he connects with a clothesline. But again, Nest only stumbles back. So Wisia turns and runs back into the far ropes. When Wisia comes back, he goes for a crossbody block. But Nest catches him in mid air and counters with a fallaway slam.

Geoff Penzer: Wisia tried to take the big man off of his feet again but this time, Nest sends Wisia flying to the mat.

Wisia turns and slowly grabs at the ropes. While Wisia pulls himself up using the ropes, Nest charges over at him. When Wisia turns around, Nest connects with a clothesline, sending him over the top rope and to the floor. Wisia lands hard as his body smacks against the floor.

Geoff Penzer: Nest put something behind that clothesline as Wisia took a hard fall to the floor.

On the outside, Wisia can be seen slowly picking himself back up. While Wisia tries to return to a vertical base, Nest runs and takes off into the far ropes. When Nest comes back, he lunges through the ropes, going for a suicide dive. But Wisia rolls out of the way, sending Nest crashing onto the floor. The crowd boos as Nest writhes in pain on the outside.

Geoff Penzer: Nest tried to take out Wisia with the suicide dive. But Wisia saw it coming and ducked out of the way.

While the Apex Champion stirs on the floor, Wisia rolls himself back into the ring. After pulling himself up, Wisia can be seen taunting Nest while he waves him up. As Nest slowly gets back up to his feet, Wisia takes off into the far ropes. When he comes back, he knocks down Nest with a suicide dive. Wisia then mounts himself on top of Nest and hammers away with a series of right hands to the face. The crowd boos as Wisia continues to pummel away at the Apex Champion. He then gets off of Nest and delivers a stomp to the chest before rolling back into the ring.

Again, Wisia can be seen taunting Nest as Nest struggles to get up on the outside. When Nest finally gets up on one knee, Wisia turns and runs back into the far ropes. When Wisia comes back, he hurls himself through the ropes, going for another suicide dive. But Nest knocks him down. Nest then picks up Wisia and rolls him back into the ring. After rolling himself back in, he makes the cover.

Nest picks up Wisia, wrenches his arm and then pulls him into the corner. After climbing up onto the top turnbuckle, Nest proceeds to walk along the top rope. But Wisia yanks back, causing Nest to slip, fall and end up crotched on the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Wisia goes over, grabs the top rope with both hands and yanks it up and down over and over. He then unleashes a series of knife edge chops. While Nest is still crotched on the top rope, Wisia heads out onto the apron. After scaling the turnbuckles, Wisia leaps off the top turnbuckle and connects with a shotgun dropkick, knocking Nest off the top rope and sending him tumbling down hard to the floor.

Geoff Penzer: Wisia with a beautiful dropkick off the top and now the Apex Champ is hurting on the outside! He took a hard fall to the floor, first falling onto the apron and then bouncing off of that before hitting the floor. And now this crowd is really letting Wisa have it as he continues to run his mouth!

While Nest is still down on the floor, Wisia heads to the outside. He marches over towards Nest and proceeds to put the boots to him. He then picks up Nest, grabs him by the back of the neck, runs and tosses him against the guard rail. Wisia then takes Nest, grabs him from the side and delivers a russian leg sweep against the guard rail. As Nest slumps down against the guard rail, Wisia marches down towards the other side of the ringside area. After sizing up Nest, Wisia runs down the length of the ringside area. As Nest gets up, Wisia hurls himself at Nest, delivering a diving clothesline that sends both men over the guardrail and into the crowd.

Geoff Penzer: That just went over the rail! Wisia flung himself at Nest and sent them both over the rail and into the crowd after that clothesline!

Wisia mounts himself on top of Nest, grabs him by the ears and rams the back of his head against the guard rail. Wisia then gets up and climbs back over the guard rail. After rolling back into the ring, Wisia waits on all fours for Nest to move. As the Apex Champion begins to stir on the ground, Wisia returns to his feet and heads into the opposite corner. Once Nest returns to his feet, Wisia runs across the ring, springboards onto the top turnbuckle and flips off, delivering a somersault plancha off the top rope, over the guardrail and into the crowd. The crowd boos as Wisia knocks down Nest.

Geoff Penzer: What a move by Luke Wisia! He just soared over the top rope and took Nest down with the somersault plancha into the crowd! Nest is down and he looks to be just about out! I didn't expect to say that tonight but I stand corrected!

After Wisia pulls himself back up to his feet, he pulls up Nest, leans him against the guard rail and then dumps him over the rail and back to ringside.

[FGA Office]

Cut to the audience where we find Aric Keaton and his friend/manager/self-appointed agent, Troy Dawes, watching the show ringside. Troy is visibly enjoying the show while Aric just sits there stone faced. A tap on the shoulder goads Aric into taking his eyes off of the action in the ring.

(Inaudible) Security: …message…Keaton.

(Inaudible) Aric: …couldn’t…it…electronically…?

(Inaudible) Security: No…Upmost…Sir.

(Inaudible) Aric: …must be important.

The security guard hands Aric a manila envelope and walks away. Aric stares at the front of the envelope “4YRIZ0NL3”. If the crowd weren’t so loud, you could hear him swallow, his heart pound, the shakiness of his breath. But you can’t, so all you see is him stare expressionlessly at the envelope. He taps Troy on the shoulder, waves the envelope when he gets his attention, and points towards the gym lobby.

Aric: Are you sure about this? How’d you get this sent so quickly, anyway? We just found out about the match.

Troy: I have my ways. And of course I’m sure, Aric. This information comes guaranteed that you will have the edge in that battle royal. Your wrestling career will be over before Christmas.

Aric: I guess…

The two men finally stop walking when they get to the concessions area. Aric notes the twitching brow of Troy, a sign of irritation.

Troy: What's all that for?

Aric: It’s just that, I’ve been working hard on becoming a better fighter these last few weeks. I defeated two people in my first match.

Troy: Then you got stomped by Kellen Klein in your second match. Trust me, Aric, this information is like, a golden ticket to an even better golden ticket.

Aric: But Mercy and Kellen are in the match too. Don’t you think me having fought them already is information enough? And I can study the others during my downtime at work. I can do this without the kind of edge you think I need.

Troy: Why are you fighting my help, Aric?

Aric: Because your help always has a price these days. I wouldn’t even need your help right now if you weren’t already helping me! And now you’re offering me a “golden ticket” after I’ve put in the time at the gym? After two physically damaging and exhausting match, you’re giving me an easy out? I don’t buy it. I know I can win that match, and our bet without your help.

Troy: Fair enough. Look, hold on to the envelope. Sleep on it, get in a nice workout in the morning, eat a nice breakfast, and then make your decision. Call me as soon as you do. I’m sure you’ll see things more clearly tomorrow.

Troy walks towards the exit of the gymnasium. Aric looks down at the envelope in his hand. He sighs as he looks back up and sees a trash can. He looks from the envelope to the trash can and back before sighing again. His brow furrows as he looks to the exit with a look of understanding.

(Mutters) Aric: He was my ride home to Nashville…

He shakes his head as he walks back into the gym, just in time for the next match.

Shooting Star Wrestling Alliance

[FGA Office]

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first and representing the Shooting Star Wrestling Alliance, from Mt. Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada. Weighing in at 245lbs … ‘THE HONORABLE’ GAGE KAISER!

The low registers of Peter Strauss's voice fills the arena. Each word drips with eeriness, a certain coldness encloses among the audience. As his words begin, Gage Kaiser leaves the backstage area. His face shrouded by the hood of an elaborate jacket. Feathers ordain the jacket; they exist only from ravens. He looks downward, not acknowledging the anxious crowd.

Fallen, 

Broken, 

Simply dissolved into an incomplete thought 

An empty shell cracked and disfigured 

With no remorse I have been blinded by the darkness 

With no disdain I have received my punishment 

And with no haste I await them.

As the words leave, Gage seems to release himself from his thoughts. When the mighty opening to "Fallen Angels" kicks up, Gage removes the hood, showing clear intensity upon his face. With that, he begins down the ramp. His posture and steps showcase his raw determination in the world of wrestling. His eyes are focused only on the ring, ignoring hecklers and fans alike. When he stops at the end of the ramp, he looks up towards the lights, watching their swapping between blue and white. He sighs out, before rushing underneath the bottom rope. Gage gets to his feet methodically. All he does from there is remove his jacket. 

Geoff Penzer: A curious young gentlemen who currently wrestles over in the UK for SSWA. And tonight he’ll be taking on an opponent who’s very familiar to him…

Tony Allen: And his opponent, from National City, California, she is the SSWA Heavyweight Champion, MACY DOVER!

The imposing figure of the Bulldover appears at the top of the aisleway, with the SSWA Heavyweight Championship in her possession as the crowd begins to boo. Undeterred, Macy Dover begins to make her way down the aisle, never taking her eyes off Gage Kaiser as he stands in the far corner of the ring.

Geoff Penzer: For those who don’t know, Macy recently the UK Cup, which gave her a title shot at the top title in SSWA. At their recent Supercard, she cashed in that opportunity after Kickass Smurf and Prince Wadjethotep had just competed in a sixty minute iron man match, where she defeated the then new champion, Kickass Smurf to become the champion herself. That may explain some of these boos.

Dover climbs up the ring steps and is about to enter the ring when she hears someone at ringside shout “We want Kickass Smurf!” It causes Macy to crack a smile before she enters the ring, and holds her title belt high in the air.

She hands the belt to the official before the bell sounds to start this contest. Both competitors circle the ring, testing the waters as they lurch forward before finally locking up collar and elbow. As they jockey for position, Macy manages to push her opponent away, sending Gage rolling backwards. And leaving the fans in stunned silence at the brute strength of the woman standing before them. Dover flexes her muscles, showing biceps that most of the men in the audience would kill for, as her opponent gets back to his feet.

Geoff Penzer: Check out the gun show.

Both competitors circle the ring again before locking up collar and elbow. This time Gage gains the upper hand, catching Macy in a side headlock as he cinches it in tight. Dover tries to break free, but Gage isn’t breaking the hold without a fight. So Dover fires off an elbow to the midsection, then another. And another. Before pushing Kaiser away and against the ropes. He comes back with a shoulderblock, knocking the SSWA Champion down to the mat.

Kaiser sets off the perpendicular ropes, as Macy Dover rolls onto her front. He skips over her upon his return, and hits the far ropes as Macy scrambles back to her feet. She charges in and connects with a running knee lift to the midsection, catching Kaiser by surprise, and sending him head over heels down to the mat. Dover immediately begins to stomp at her prone foe, working over all his limbs. A jumping knee drop down across the face connects before Macy hooks a leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Kaiser kicks out.

But Macy just throws his shoulder back down and tries again, pressing a forearm down across her opponent’s face.

ONE!

TWO!

Kaiser kicks out again.

Geoff Penzer: Tremendous amount of disrespect being shown by Macy Dover here.

Dover drags her opponent back up again, holding Gage by the hair as she bounces him head first off the top turnbuckle no less than seven times. Finally, she lets go and Gage slumps in the corner, but the assault doesn’t stop yet. Macy switches her attack to shoot kicks to the chest, and Gage Kaiser can’t find an escape just yet. An Irish whip sends him from pillar to post, with Macy close behind as she nails him with a clothesline! Another Irish whip follows as Macy tries to wear her opponent down – NO! She runs right into a raised boot this time!

Dover staggers back a step as Kaiser emerges from the corner with a discus clothesline! It has enough force to flip the SSWA Champion head over heels, but Dover is quickly back on her feet, albeit dazed. Kaiser follows up with a heavy overhand right, and another. He’s forcing Macy back against the ropes before he clothesline her right over the top rope, sending the champion tumbling to the outside.

Geoff Penzer: Kaiser saw the opening and he took it, now he just needs to remain in control.

Gage steps out onto the apron as, on the outside, his opponent is just working her way back to her feet. He runs along the ring apron and leaps off with an axhandle smash, catching Macy square between the shoulder blades. She staggers towards the guard rail, but Kaiser grabs her and turns around, before hitting a DDT on the outside! The fans cheer it, for some reason, as the referee starts the count out.

Kaiser drags Macy back to her feet again, placing her back against the ring apron as he unloads with a series of knife edge chops to the chest. The fans “whoo” along with each one as Macy’s chest gets lit up. Finally, Dover gets rolled back into the ring with only her head and neck over the edge as Gage gets up onto the apron once more. He takes a run up and deliver a leg drop, causing Macy to roll away into the ring in pain, as Kaiser follows her in and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Macy kicks out.

Geoff Penzer: Macy Dover feeling the effects of those hard strikes, and that DDT on the mats. But she’s still in this one.

Undeterred, Kaiser lifts his opponent to a seated position and applied a rear chinlock, peppering Macy’s chest with some clubbing blows for added effect. But the SSWA Champion isn’t going to take this lying down. Dover begins to fight back, working her way up to a kneeling position before standing, from where she fires off a couple of elbows to the gut. Kaiser’s grip is weakening as Macy is able to push him away against the ropes. She catches him with a flapjack upon his return, sending Kaiser crashing face first into the mat before he kips up to his knees. Dover fires off a few kicks to the chest before running against the ropes, coming back with a shining wizard!

Geoff Penzer: What a shot by Macy Dover!

But she’s moving slow as she goes to make the cover.

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

Dover looks to the official to make sure, but he assures her it was only a two count. Frustrated, Macy lifts her opponent back to his feet before lifting Kaiser up for a guillotine across the top rope. But she keeps hold while Gage is hung on the ropes, and delivers a thunderous kick to the midsection! He stumbles down to a kneeling position, precariously placed across the middle rope as Macy sets off against the far ropes, coming back with a leapfrog body guillotine. And she even bounces a few times for added effect.

Kaiser rolls out of the ring, clutching at his throat, but only makes it as far as the apron as Macy sets off across the ring again. This time she comes back with a baseball slide, knocking Kaiser off the apron and to the mats on the outside! She follows him out, taunting the fans as she goes, before she lifts Gage Kaiser back to his feet and Irish whips him into the ring steps. He hits them shoulder first, knocking the top portion loose; Dover stalks over to her opponent, but Kaiser is aching too much to move out of the way right now. The referee’s count out is at three as Macy places a boot across the throat, pushing her opponent down to the floor as she chokes him out.

Geoff Penzer: She knows his neck is hurting, and now Macy Dover is focusing on that area.

At the six count, Macy releases the choke, and her opponent gasps for air. Once again, she taunts the nearby fans before rolling Kaiser back onto the ring apron. She climbs up after him, lifting Gage up so he’s in a standing headscissor.

Geoff Penzer: What does Macy have planned here?

Dover wraps her arms around the midsection and tries to lift, but Gage kicks his legs to block. She tries again, but Kaiser isn’t going up. He pushes himself free of the standing headscissors and fires off some shots to the midsection. Dover is reeling as Kaiser pops up with a European uppercut, rocking her where she stands. The Honorable appears to have caught his second win as he gets back to his feet and doubles Macy over with a boot to the gut, all before lifting the SSWA champion up for an inverted powerslam – and dropping her down across the edge of the ring!

Geoff Penzer: Holy hell! Macy Dover just get driven face and chest first onto the ring apron! This could be over right here.

Kaiser picks himself up after he dropped off the apron to hit that move, and rolls Macy back into the ring. But he appears to expended all of his energy, because he’s slow to follow her in. Dover is splayed out as Kaiser rolls in after her, and he drapes an arm across the chest.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THREE!

Geoff Penzer: No, Macy has a foot on the ropes!

The referee points to the ropes, and Gage can’t quite believe it. He sits there in shock for a few moments, trying to catch his breath also; Macy isn’t moving much, her leg still on the rope until finally Gage lifts her back to her feet. A quick sambo suplex brings Macy crashing back down to the mats, and this time Gage Kaiser looks towards the corner. With the fans cheering him on, Kaiser makes his way to the top rope and leaps off with his patented Skies of Arcadia!

NO!

Dover rolls out of the way, almost out of sheer instinct, and Kaiser hits the mat back first! He rolls around in pain, clutching at his back as Macy grabs hold of the middle rope, using it to slowly but surely make her way back to a vertical base. Kaiser reaches all fours, still holding his back as he kneels up. Macy makes her move, getting closer as Kaiser pushes himself up to a vertical base – Dover Drop! The knee connects flush to the face of Gage Kaiser, and both competitors fall down to the mat.

Geoff Penzer: This could be it…

Exhausted, Macy Dover is laying on the mat next to the unconscious Gage Kaiser.

Geoff Penzer: If she can just make the cover.

Macy forces herself to roll over, and crawls, slowly, surely towards her opponent. She drapes herself across his chest as the referee drops to count.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THRE-NOOO!

Geoff Penzer: She took too long!

Gage Kaiser gets the shoulder up at the last possible second, and Macy Dover can’t believe it. She sits up in shock, the referee adamant it was only a two count – and the anger is evident on Macy Dover’s face. She moves towards the ropes, using them to get back to her feet as Gage stands up of his own fruition. Dazed, he turns around to face her as Macy charges in with another Dover Drop!

NO!

Kaiser side steps! Dover turns around – Fury Cutter connects! Dover driven face first into the mat and Kaiser rolls her up, hooking both legs.

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

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, GAGE KAISER!

Macy Dover kicks out a moment too later, as ‘The Honorable’ Gage Kaiser is helped back to his feet by the referee. The fans in attendance are cheering as the SSWA champion rolls out of the ring, anger and frustration clear on her face; she glares up at Gage Kaiser as he’s celebrating in the ring.

Geoff Penzer: Third time lucky for Gage Kaiser, just unlucky for him the belt wasn’t on the line tonight.

Kaiser climbs the turnbuckle, keeping his gaze locked on Macy as she makes her way back up the aisle, the SSWA title in her possession.

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, representing Hard Knox Wrestling, from Red Deear, Alberta, Canada. Weighing in at 223lbs, LEVI CHAMBERS!

Once "R.I.C.O." hits, the audience immediately begins to boo as the always cocky and always greedy Levi Chambers makes his way out onto the stage. Chambers, not even bothering to look at the fans, smiles and begins his walk down to the ring. He avoids any and all hands and even threatens to backhand anyone who touches him.

He enters the ring by walking up the steel steps, brushing his feet on the apron a la Lord William Regal, and enters the ring. Once in the center of the ring, Levi "makes it rain" as he throws imaginary bills towards the audience before he heads over to his corner and leans up against it, smirking. He waits for the match to start by looking at the ref and warning him to call it down the middle, then looking over at the fans and beginning to talk shit to them as he waits.

Tony Allen: And his opponent, also representing Hard Knox Wrestling from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 190lbs, EMILIO VIALPANDO!

As the lights begin to dim in the arena "Cali Dreamin'" by. Kid Ink begins to fade in until it comes to a hault. A spotlight shines onto the stage where Emilio Vialpando stands and yells out "LAX!". The music resumes and the lights begin to flash red, white and green. Emilio looks out to the crowd for a short while before he makes his way down the ramp. At the foot of the ramp Emilio stops and looks crosses his chest with his left hand then points up to the sky yelling "VIVA LA LAX!". After this he sprints towards the ring and slides under the ropes. He walks across the ring and climbs a turnbuckle holding up LA with his fingers. Vialpando stands there for a moment and hops back down waiting for the match up to begin.

Geoff Penzer: Two of the brightest stars on HKW’s Subversion brand today, set to go one on one. I can’t wait for this one.

The bell sounds to start the match as both men emerge from their corners, not once taking their eyes off the other. The fans here are torn between who to hate the most as both men lock horns in the center of the ring. From the collar and elbow tie up, Levi manages to overpower his opponent, pushing Emilio back against the ropes. The referee intervenes, calling for a break. At the count of four, Chambers releases his hold on his opponent and backs away a step, before unleashing a vicious chop to the chest. The sound of which echoes around the arena, before he fires off another.

Geoff Penzer: You can see the pain etched on Emilio Vialpando’s face right now.

An Irish whip ensues as Show Time is sent running across the ring, only to come back with a high knee strike to the face of Levi Chambers! The Canadian pops back to his feet and gets caught by a high angle dropkick to the face. Chambers rolls towards the ropes to put some distance between himself and his opponent as Emilio remains on the far side, his eyes locked on his opponent.

Geoff Penzer: Both of these men competing for honor here tonight, just to see who’s the best that Subversion has to offer.

Both competitors circle the ring again, keeping their gaze on one another as they move forward. As they lock up again, Chambers pulls his opponent down into a front facelock with an armbar, bringing Emilio down to one knee. He keeps the armbar locked in, wrenching the shoulder as Vialpando looks for a way out. He eventually stands back up, but the hold is still applied as Levi parades around the ring, wrenching the arm once before jerking the shoulder. But Show Time fires off an open hand chop to the chest. Unaffected, Chambers jerks the shoulder again, but again Emilio fights back. He lifts a knee to weaken Levi’s grip before reversing the hold, going behind with a schoolboy!

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
But Levi kicks out!

Both competitors scramble back to their feet, but it’s Emilio who gets up first as he launches himself forward with a spinning heel kick, connecting flush with his opponent’s face. Levi is slower to his feet this time as Emilio charges at him, sliding between the legs before performing a blue thunder driver! No pin attempt attempt, however, as Chambers sits up, holding his back. Vialpando connects with a dropkick to the back of the head, forcing Levi back down to the mat before Emilio gets back up to perform a standing moonsault.

ONE
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Chambers kicks out.

Undeterred, Emilio sits his opponent up again, applying a rear chinlock. Before long Chambers begins to fight back, working his way up to one knee before firing off some elbows to the midsection. It’s enough to weaken Emilio’s grip as Levi counters with an atomic drop. Emilio staggers away, but is spun around as Levi lands a chop to the chest, and a second, before whipping Emilio towards the corner. Vialpando hits the pads hard as Chambers charges in, connecting with a lariat. Show Time staggers out of the corner, and straight into a boot to the midsection as Chambers performs a snap suplex, floating over for the pin attempt.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!

Emilio kicks out!

Both men scramble to their feet, as Emilio charges in – NO! He’s caught and Levi counters with a snap scoop powerslam!

ONE!

TWO!
.

Emilio kicks out!

Geoff Penzer: Levi Chambers has an answer for everything tonight.

Chambers looks to the official, but the referee assures him it was only a two count. Undeterred, Levi lifts his opponent to a seated position and delivers a series of soccer kicks to the spine. Emilio yells out in pain, but they only end as Chambers drags him to an upright position before keeling him over. Chambers positions his opponent in a standing headscissors before eventually lifting him up, and performing a picture perfect piledriver! Emilio Vialpando gets driven head first into the mat as Levi rolls him over.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
But Emilio gets the shoulder up.

Chambers looks cool and collected, however, as he circles around the prone Show Time a couple of times, stomping at him at intervals. Finally, Chambers drags his opponent back to a vertical base and whips him towards the corner. Emilio hits the pads hard, but grabs hold of the top rope to stop himself from falling. He pulls himself back up in time to see Levi charging at him with a spear!

Geoff Penzer: The spear misses!

Emilio shakes the cobwebs out, and sees his opponent stuck between the turnbuckles. The lightbulb in his head clicks on as he grabs Chambers from behind, and sends him overhead with a ballsplex! Chambers gets folded up, but rolls through to a kneeling position – the lights on but nobody home – as Emilio wearily runs in with a knee strike to the face! After a momentary pause, Emilio makes the cover.

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

Geoff Penzer: I thought that could have been all right there.

Show Time lifts his opponent back to his feet, doubling Chambers over with a knee strike to the midsection before wrenching the arm. From there, Emilio sends his opponent against the ropes. But Levi reverses, sending Emilio against the ropes. The Canadian wrestler remains near the ropes as he back body drops Emilio over the top rope – NO! Show Time grabs the top rope and lands on the apron, unseen by Chambers. But as Levi turns around, he’s caught by a stiff forearm smash to the face! The fans pop as Chambers spins in a circle, giving Emilio time to springboard off the top rope with a springboard reverse DDT! He drapes an arm across the chest!

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

Emilio looks to the official in disbelief – he literally cannot believe that wasn’t a three count, and neither can the fans. Vialpando looks around the arena – the fans all seem to be enjoying the match thus far, despite not particularly liking either competitor. Emilio takes a moment to catch his breath; Levi remains motionless on the mat, until he’s dragged back to his feet once more. Emilio backs his opponent against the ropes with a few chops to the chest, before going for an Irish whip. Chambers is sent across the ring this time, coming back into the waiting grasp of Show Time and a hurricanrana! The force is enough to send Chambers rolling out under the bottom rope, whereupon he lands with a thud on outside.

Geoff Penzer: Looks like this match has spilled to the outside. What are they going to do here?

Emilio is on one knee in the center of the ring as he watches Chambers using the guard rail to get back to his feet on the outside. The count out begins as a weary Levi Chambers staggers around, seemingly unaware of where he is as he wanders close towards the ring, right into the path of Show Time’s baseball slide! Chambers hits the guard rail with a thud and falls to the floor as Emilio positions himself on the ring apron, steadying himself before leaping off with a phoenix splash!

Geoff Penzer: He got all of that one!

The fans pop again at the high flying manoeuvre. Chambers is down, but Emilio kips back up to his feet to savor the moment. He doesn’t want to keep the match out of the ring, however. At the count of five, Emilio rolls his opponent back into the ring before climbing up onto the apron. He looks towards the top rope and begins to climb. Just as he reaches the top turnbuckle, however, Chambers wobbles the rope, crotching Emilio! He’s stuck in no man’s land, just waiting as Chambers moves towards the corner, climbing up to the middle rope before he throws Show Time overhead with an avalanche belly-to-belly suplex!

The fans even pop for that one; Emilio and Levi are both laid out in the center of the ring as the referee begins the count out.

ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


FOUR!

Geoff Penzer: Both competitors look to be spent right now, but neither of them wants this to end in a draw.

FIVE!

Chambers begins to stir, rolling onto his front as he begins trying to push himself up.

SIX!

Emilio rolls towards the ropes, grabbing hold of the bottom one as he starts to slowly drag himself up.

SEVEN!

Geoff Penzer: And Chambers is back on his feet.

Levi staggers around the ring as, on the far side, Emilio reaches his vertical base. Chambers moves towards his opponent, but Emilio has the awareness about him to duck the clothesline and go behind Levi. A toe kick to the midsection doubles Levi over as he turns around, giving Show Time the chance he needs to lift his opponent high overhead, bringing Levi down with a Kotaro Krusher! And the cover!

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

Geoff Penzer: How did he kick out of that one?!

Chambers gets the shoulder up, and Emilio sits up in disbelief. The fans are in shock too, unsure of how Levi Chambers is still going. Emilio stands up first, of course, and drags his opponent back to his feet. An Irish whip sends Levi against the ropes as Emilio charges in with a high knee strike – NO! Chambers has the wherewithal to duck, and put on the brakes. Emilio turns around to eat the discus lariat! Down goes Vialpando, and Levi signals for the end. He drags Show Time back to his feet and positions him in a standing headscissors. Emilio gets hoisted up onto the shoulders, ready for Hit The Lotto – NO! Emilio counters with a hurricanrana! Chambers rolls through and back up to his feet as, from behind, Emilio catches him with a Zig Zag!

Chambers is laid out, but there’s no pin attempt. Instead Emilio looks towards the corner…

Geoff Penzer: What does he have in mind here?

Vialpando steps out onto the apron and begins climbing. First up to the middle rope, then the top one as he steadies himself. The crowd falls into a hushed silence before Emilio Vialpando leaps off the turnbuckle, flying through the air with a Deseando Astro!

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

Tony Allen: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, EMILIO VIALPANDO!

Geoff Penzer: What a hard fought contest, but Emilio Vialpando pulls off the victory after hitting his corkscrew shooting star press. I’m sure their paths might cross again on Subversion, but for tonight, Emilio Vialpando is the winner.

Vialpando gets his arm raised by the official as the crowd continues booing.

Geoff Penzer: Up next we have our main event for the evening. LDFC’s own Crimson Baroness going one on one with (r)Evolution’s Sydney Christensen for the Carolinas Cup. Stay tuned.
