ROUND ROBIN CHALLENGE
Zero McHannon vs. Jimmy Page

“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 and it is the third Round Robin Challenge Match of the evening! Introducing first, now residing out of Long Island, New York! Weighing 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.

Kevin Clement: Hello everyone! This is Kevin Clement and joining me is my colleague, Evan Grayson! And we’re here to call this final match in the Round Robin Challenge. Jimmy Page versus Zero McHannon! I’ve got to say, it feels good to be back at the table, especially calling a match like this! I know these two are going to tear the roof off this place!

Evan Grayson: Heh, it beats setting the ring on fire.

Kevin Clement: Here you are starting already!

Evan Grayson: What? What do you want me to say? “Gee, Stephy, this is such a great match. Wowie, you sure are right, Kris. What Amazing competitors!” Pfft, save that for those two wooden boards this company has had stuck at the commentary table for the past year. This is real commentary that all you people at home are about to hear...

The eerie cue up of "They Are Lost" by Last Remaining Pinnacle plays for ten seconds...then dies down, along with the lights. Suddenly the sound of drums and a electronic melody plays. The lights flash in red to the melody of the song. The song, "Can You Feel My Heart" by Bring Me The Horizon plays as a silhouette appears from out of the red. In his signature controlled stagger, Page comes out, hands extended, head down. Slowly his raises his head, soaked in the red lights. Fans boo him as he makes his way to the ring.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Flint, Michigan! Weighing in at 230 pounds… He is “The King of the F’n World”, JIMMY PAGE!

He whips his hair out of his eyes as he snatches away from of the extended hands, almost threatening to hit someone. Page stops from time to time, swearing at some of the fans who chant "FUCK YOU JIMMY!!" and "PAGE SUCKS!!!" getting in their face. As Page finishes his march of ridicule, he stops at the top of the ramp. His eyes dead, his expression stoic as he glares around the arena, the lights still radiating that deadly red. Page goes in front of the ring, slides onto the apron on one knee and quickly gets inside. He goes to his right and climbs the turnbuckle and stands on top of it, swearing at the fans, pointing at himself, talking to them, taunting them, mocking them. He stands there for a moment, then routinely spits his gum at the crowd. Page leaps down, slides down into the corner, and sits on the middle turnbuckle. He rests his left hand on his cheek nonchalantly, waiting for the match to begin.

Kevin Clement: These two have been at war with each other throughout the summer. One would think that Page ended things by winning their Chivalry is Dead Match back at Above & Beyond. But fate has brought these two back together again.

Evan Grayson: No, fate didn’t do that. Luck did because if it wasn’t for Cyncity distracting Dom Harter, you can bet that it would be the Tenacious Little Bastard in this match right now, not Zero McHannon, who has been a total flop since his return to wrestling. A couple of strong matches here and there doesn’t change that. A couple of matches doesn’t change that the man is, has and always will be a fraud. Isn’t that right, Mr. Mako?

Kevin Clement: Well one thing I do know is that a lot is riding on this match. As you all saw earlier tonight, Noelle Smith defeated Jimmy Page. Then Zero McHannon was able to best Noelle. So both of them are at one win apiece. We were told in advance that the first grappler in the round robin challenge to achieve two victories would win. So if Zero wins this match right here, he’s going on to Final Frontier to face whoever wins between Chandler Scott and Tony Carmine later tonight. However, if Jimmy Page wins tonight...

Evan Grayson: … then that means each person in the Round Robin Challenge would have a win each. Then what?

Kevin Clement: If Page beats Zero in this match and ties Zero and Noelle with one win, then all of them will be advancing to Final Frontier, where they will face whomever the World Champion is in a Fatal 4-Way.

Evan Grayson: Oh shoot...

The bell sounds as Page and Zero begin going at it, trading blows in the center of the ring as the crowd explodes into cheers. These two titans continue to trade blows until Zero gains the upperhand. Each punch knocks Page further across the ring and closer to the far ropes. He then takes Page and goes for an irish whip. But Page reverses, sending Zero into the ropes. When Zero comes back, Page sets up for a back body drop. But Zero stops, grabs Page, runs and tosses him through the ropes. As Page tries to get up on the apron, Zero marches over, grabs Page and drags him through the ropes until his shins are resting across the middle rope. Zero’s got him set up for a rope hung DDT. But Page quickly unhooks his legs, takes Zero and dumps him over the top rope and to the floor.

Evan Grayson: That’s what Mako gets for wasting time and pandering to these people. Showing off for these sheep don’t win you championships. You would think that a former World Champion would know that. But oh, that’s right, that World Title wasn’t won here. And if Jimmy Page has anything to say about it, he’ll make sure that Mr. Mako never sniffs a World Title in FGA.

While Zero gets up on the outside, Page drops to his back and rolls to the outside. He quickly takes Zero, marches over and tries to slam him face first onto the steel steps. But Zero puts his hands down, blocking the move. After an elbow to the midsection, Zero takes Page and slams him face first onto the steel steps. After Page’s head bounces off the steps, he stumbles around ringside before rolling back into the ring. But Zero’s not about to give him a chance to breath. So he remains hot on his trail. After hopping up onto the apron, Zero goes to step through the ropes. But Page darts over and kicks up the middle rope, hitting Zero square between the legs. The crowd erupts into boos as Zero crumbles down to the canvas.

Evan Grayson: Why are they booing? What did Page do?

Kevin Clement: You know exactly what Page did!

Page goes over and puts the boots to Zero, stomping away at his head. As soon as Zero begins to cover up, Page shifts his target to Zero’s midsection. He then mounts himself on top of Zero. After prying Zero’s arms from around his head, Page begins to rain down punches on Zero. But Zero ends up turning the tide, rolling over on top of Page. He returns the favor with a series of punches of his own. But Page is able to reach up and tug at Zero’s beard. He then rolls back over on top of McHannon. After mounting himself on top of Zero, Page grabs him by the throat with both hands and begins to choke Zero. His forearms flex while his knuckles turn white. Page looks down with wide eye as he tries to choke the life out of Zero. Zero slowly reaches his hand out. Once he latches his hands onto Page’s beard, he pulls down with all his might. With a quick burst, Zero rolls back over on top of Page. After mounting himself on top of the former World and Pride Champion, Zero grabs Page by his hair and repeatedly rams the back of his head against the apron. Zero then gets off of Page and stumbles over towards the ropes. He then bends over as he messages his throat.

Out of the corner of Zero’s eyes, he sees Page stirring on the canvas. The self-proclaimed King of the F’n World slowly turns over and tries to get back to a vertical base. But Zero isn’t about to let Page back into this match. So he marches over to attack Page. But Page lunges forward, nailing Zero with a double cross chop to the throat. The crowd boos as the cheap shot sends Zero stumbling towards the ropes. While Zero hunches over, Page quickly knocks Zero down onto the middle rope with a double ax handle to the back. After placing his shin across the back of Zero’s neck, Page grabs the middle rope, one hand on each side of Zero’s head and pulls back with all his might. The crowd boos as he once again chokes Zero. Zero can be seen helplessly flailing his arms while he cringes in pain. Meanwhile, the ref is giving Page until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Page reluctantly lets go of the hold. He then takes off into the far ropes. A close up shot reveals Zero gasping for air. When Page comes back, he leaps into the air and crashes across the back of Zero McHannon. Zero falls down to the canvas, allowing Page to make the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Zero kicks out.

Kevin Clement: Thus far, Page has exerted his dominance in this one.

Evan Grayson: Just like he did during their Chivalry is Dead Match where he proved, once and for all, that he was the better fighter. Page has been proved that he was the better man. Say what you want about the guy. But he’s always been true to who and what he is. He’s never lied about himself or came up with a fake persona. Can Zero say the same?

Page picks up Zero, places him in a side headlock and proceeds to rake his eyes along the top rope. After Page lets go, Zero stumbles into a nearby corner. After turning Zero around, Page lowers his head and lunges forward, nearly driving the air out of McHannon with a shoulder thrust. Page pulls himself back and then lunges forward. Spittle flies out of the mouth of Zero upon impact. Page then delivers a series of quick shoulder thrusts, leaving Zero doubled over in pain. Page then reaches down and pulls up Zero’s head with his left hand. He then takes his right hand, balls it up into a fist as he pulls it back then fires a straight right to the jaw, sending Zero stumbling from out of the corner and into an adjacent corner. Page then nails Zero with a kidney shot, causing Zero to arch his back. After turning Zero around, Page delivers a series of knee strikes to the midsection, followed by a series of elbow strikes to the head. He then takes McHannon and whips him into the opposite corner. Page runs across the ring, but McHannon nails him with an elbow to the face, sending him stumbling back. After shaking off the blow, Page charges back into the corner. This time, Zero stuffs him with a boot to the face. After stumbling back, Page shakes off the blow. As Page goes to charge back into the corner, Zero beats him to the punch, tackling him down. He mounts himself on top of Page and hammers down with right hand after right hand. He then grabs Page by his dingy hair and pulls him back to a vertical base. While keeping Page’s head down, Zero delivers alternating knee strikes to the face. He then takes Page, runs and tosses him through the ropes and to the floor.

Kevin Clement: Now it’s Page that’s been sent to the outside!

Evan Grayson: That’s right, Zero, fight Page’s fight. Walk right into his trap. This guy is just making things that much easier for Jimmy Page.

Kevin Clement: Well by the looks of things, it’s Zero McHannon that’s getting the better of the former World Champ.

Evan Grayson: Oh really? We’ll see...

On the outside, Page can be seen turning over on all fours. he lets out a series of loud coughs before spitting blood down onto  the floor. As Page slowly gets back to his feet, McHannon takes off into the ropes. As Page turns towards the ring, Zero charges forward, lunges through the ropes and knocks him down with a suicide dive.

Kevin Clement: WHAT A MANEUVER!

Evan Grayson: You’ve been waiting to let that one out, haven’t you?

Zero slowly rolls off of Page and lays on his back. After a few, Zero slowly gets back to his feet. He then goes over and begins to slowly peel Page up off the canvas. But in a flash, Page grabs Zero and rams him back-first against the side of the ring. The crowd boos as he pulls Zero back, only to ram him back-first against the side of the ring again. After a series of knees to the midsection that may or may not have landed below the belt, Page takes Zero and whips him hard into the guard rail. Page then charges across ringside and delivers a big boot, knocking Zero over the guardrail and into the crowd.

Evan Grayson: Incoming!

Kevin Clement: Page that clocked Zero with that running big boot!

Page reaches over, pulls up Zero and delivers a vertical suplex, suplexing Zero from the crowd and back onto the ringside area. While Zero lays in pain, Page marches down ringside and motions for J.A. Aldridge to get to his feet. After a scared Aldridge scurries off, Page takes his chair and brings it back over to where Zero is. The ref quickly steps in, telling Page not to use the chair. But Page quickly changes his grip of the chair and pulls the chair back, threatening to knock the ref’s head off. After the ref wisely moves out of the way, Page continues to make his way over towards Zero. After picking up Zero, Page seats him in the chair. He then takes a step back and chokes him while pulling back on the guard rail. After about seven seconds, Page lets go as he marches down the ringside area. Page then turns on a dime, charging down back towards Zero. Page picks up speed before nailing Zero with a running knee facewash, knocking Zero into the nearby guard rail to boos from the crowd.

Page picks up Zero, scoops him up and drops him throat-first across the top of the guard rail, sending him back down to the floor. After putting the boots to Zero, Page goes over and slowly climbs up onto the apron. He steps halfway into the ring. But he steps back out when he becomes distracted by the fans. Page begins to bark back at a couple of the louder fans in the front row. Page then goes to step back inside the ring. But he stops back once he sees that Zero has grabbed a hold onto his ankle. So Page begins to stomp away on the hands on McHannon. He then reaches down, grabs Zero by the hair and pulls him back up to his feet. After stepping back into the ring, he grabs Zero, runs and goes to slam him face first into the ring post. But Zero puts his foot on the ring post, blocking the move. After slapping Page’s hand from off of him, he grabs Page by the hair and slams him face first into the top turnbuckle. After stumbling back, Page comes back over and takes a wild swipe at McHannon. But McHannon ducks and counters with a shoulder thrust through the middle & top ropes. After stumbling back, Page stands back up and heads back over towards Zero. Page throws out a right out. Zero blocks and goes to counter with a right hand of his own. But Page ducks and counters with a gamengiri, knocking Zero down onto the apron.

Kevin Clement: My God, did you hear that kick!?

Evan Grayson: I did and Zero felt every inch of it! I’m surprised it didn’t knock that beard right off his face.

Page steps out onto the apron and pulls up Zero. After another knee to the midsection, Page hooks Zero and delivers an exploder suplex off the apron and to the floor.

Kevin Clement: What a maneuver by Jimmy Page!

Evan Grayson: It looks like your boy is down for the count.

While Zero lays writhing in pain on the floor, Page gets up and grabs a hold of the protective matting on the outside. He pulls it back with glee, exposing the concrete floor underneath.

Kevin Clement: Oh no!This isn’t good, Evan!

Evan Grayson: Of course it isn’t good… for Zero McHannon. But it’s great from my vantage point.

Page goes over, picks up Zero and bends him over in front of him, setting up for a piledriver onto the exposed floor. Page wraps his arms around Zero and to to lift him up. But Page wisely wraps his arms around one of Page’s legs, blocking the move. So Page delivers a series of clubbing shots to the back. He then goes for another piledriver attempt. But this time, Zero purposely drops down to his stomach and wraps his arms around Page’s ankle. So Page takes his free leg and begins to stomp the hell out of Zero’s head. He then reaches down and goes for another piledriver. Just as he lifts Zero off the canvas, Zero flutter kicks his legs, forcing Page to drop him. So Page lets go and delivers a hard knee to the side of the head, dropping Zero face first to the floor. He then reaches down and slowly pulls up Page. He calls for the piledriver before lifting up Zero. But McHannon blocks and counters with a back body drop. The crowd cheers as Page’s back collides with the exposed concrete floor.

Kevin Clement: Page’s plan backfired!

Evan Grayson: Gah!

Zero reaches down, picks up Page and rams him back-first into the guard rail. The crowd cheers as he pulls Page away, only to ram him back-first into the guardrail again. Zero then shifts positions with Page before ramming him back-first against the side of the ring. Zero pulls Page away, only to ram him hard back-first into the side of the ring. Once Zero steps back, Page slowly slumps down against the side of the ring while writhing in pain.

Kevin Clement: Page’s now getting a taste of his own medicine!

Evan Grayson: Try not to sound too gleeful, Grayson. You’re supposed to be impartial.

Kevin Clement: You, of all people, talking about being impartial!?

Zero picks up Page and whips him hard into the guard rail. As soon as Page’s back collides with the guard rail, the King of the F’n World crumbles to the floor. Zero marches over towards Page and slowly picks him up off the floor. He then grabs a hold of Page before delivering an Olympic Slam against the ring post. The crowd cheers as Page’s back smacks hard against the post. Page again crumbles to the mat as he can be heard groaning in agony. But Zero isn’t done with him yet. Not by a long shot. After dragging Page by the hair halfway down ringside, Zero picks up Page and whips him hard into the steel steps. The steps go flying as Page crashes shoulder-first into them. After kicking the top half of the steps out of the way, Zero grabs Page and pulls him up onto the bottom half of the steps. He hooks Page’s arm before jumping up and delivering the Side Effect onto the steel steps. A loud thud can be heard as Page’s back collides with the steel steps. Page wails in agony as he slowly rolls off the steps and lands face first on the floor. Zero then goes over, picks up Page and rolls him back into the ring. After rolling himself back in, he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
T-NO!

Page gets his shoulder up.

Kevin Clement: I’m a little shocked that Page got his shoulder up.

Evan Grayson: Well if you’re shocked that Page avoided the three count despite taking all that punishment, then you’ve clearly forgotten just how hard it is to keep a man like him down.

Zero picks up Page and whips him hard into the corner. The turnbuckles rattle as soon as Page’s back collides with them. Page staggers out of the corner before dropping down to his knees. He then quickly falls face-first onto the mat. After making his way over towards Page, Zero kneels down, pulls him back up to his feet and whips him hard into the opposite corner. As soon as Page’s back collides with the turnbuckles, Page crumbles from out of the corner and arches his back in pain. Zero goes over, grabs Page by the hair and pulls him back up to his feet. He then hooks his arm around Page’s leg before delivering a Teardrop Suplex. The crowd cheers as he makes the cover.

THR-NO!

Page gets his shoulder up to boos from the crowd.

Kevin Clement: Another nearfall for Zero McHannon Despite wrestling earlier tonight, Page has been able to take a good amount of punishment while staying in this match.

Evan Grayson: You need to understand just how much that FGA World Championship means to him. For the first time in his life, he mattered. He was somebody. For the first time in his life, he was the object of envy. He was the man. That championship completed him, Clement. And since that title was taken from him, Page hasn’t felt whole since. This is his chance to get one step closer to getting that gold back.

As Zero goes to pick up Page, Page rams him back-first into the corner. After slowly standing up, Page leans forward, gouging Zero’s eyes. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the hold.

Ref; ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Page reluctantly lets go. He takes Zero, brings him from out of the corner and whips him into the ropes. When Zero comes back, Page throws out a clothesline. But Zero ducks and runs into the ropes. When Zero comes back, Page delivers a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. As soon as Zero bounces off of Page’s knee, he immediately holds his back. Meanwhile, Page drops down to all fours before rolling over onto his back, which he arches in pain.

Kevin Clement: That backbreaker took a lot out of McHannon. But it looks like it took just as much out of Page, too.

Evan Grayson: It doesn’t matter. Page is willing to put himself through any amount of pain possible to reclaim his championship.

After Page slowly turns over and pulls himself back to his feet, he makes his way into the corner and proceeds to quickly untie the rope from the top turnbuckle pad. After it’s completely unties, Page rips off the pad before tossing it to the outside. He then kneels down and does the same to the middle turnbuckle pad.

Kevin Clement: That man’s got even intentions in mind, Evan.

Evan Grayson: And the understatement of the century goes to...

Page goes over and picks up Zero, setting him up for a turnbuckle powerbomb into the exposed steel turnbuckles. But before he can lift up Zero, Zero brings him down with a standing double leg takedown. He then quickly wraps his arms around Page’s legs and leans back, catapulting Page into the exposed top turnbuckle to cheers from the crowd.

Kevin Clement: Zero’s done it! He’s got his redemption! He’s got his revenge! And now, he’s got his World Title shot at Final Frontier!

After the referee and Gambino help him to his feet, Zero raises his arm in the air to a loud ovation from the crowd. Zero and Gambino then slowly exit the ring before making their way up the aisle...

[FGA Office]

Backstage at the Asbury Park Convention Hall we see Cyncity sipping on a can of Dr. Pepper and stretching out her limbs before her Hair vs. Career match against Dom Harter. Cyn sets the the can of Dr. Pepper on an equipment crate and starts jumping up and down in place, swirling her arms around in a circle to make sure all her muscles were loose.

After finally finishing up what she’s doing, Cyn takes a second to relax and take a breather...only to get interrupted by an approaching Johnny Karma, with Cherry Baum at his side

Cherry Baum: Hey Cyn, how’re you doing?

Cyn squints her eyes, almost as if she were baffled by the question from her long-term rival. She glares over at Cherry and gives her the death stare before she turns back to Karma and does the same to him.

Cyncity: Totally not the people I expected or wanted to see right now...

Sensing there may be a bit of frostiness in the air, Karma decides he should try with the charm offensive

Johnny Karma: I see your wrist’s healed up and you're cleared to compete. So how’s Cordy doing, will we be seeing her anytime soon?

Cyn rolls her eyes and flails her arms out to her sides.

Cyncity: What the heck do you want, Johnny? Why are you even here right now? If you’re here to try and start something with me, just… don’t. I’m not in the mood for it right now and I need to focus on my match coming up.

She glares down at the cast on her arm, and for a moment, it almost looks like she was ready to bash Cherry in the head with it. Instead, Cyn turns her back to Karma and Cherry, grabs her Dr. Pepper from the equipment crate, and tries to walk away.

Johnny Karma: Whoa whoa whoa...whoa. I’m not here to cause a fuss, I just wanted to find out if Cordy was recovering from what Chris Q did to her at Above & Beyond, nothing more and nothing less.

Cyn turns around, eying Johnny up and down to see if she could read his body language.

Cyncity: Do you really wanna know how Cordy’s doing, or is this another one of your brilliant plans to somehow catch me off guard or something so you could just shove me into this wall here...

She taps on the cinderblock wall behind her while staring directly at Karma.

Cyncity: ...to knock me out and make it so I have to forfeit my match against Dom? Or, better yet, are you trying to pull of this nice guy act so you could hit me in the head with a trophy? Or maybe that plastic shiksa thingy!

When hearing what Cyn has to say, Karma looks taken aback and not a little bit hurt by her accusations

Johnny Karma: What…no! I mean, what would anyone get from that vilde chaya having the night off? Other than, you know, the people who are watching the show being spared the indignity of watching somebody who put more effort into ruining everyone else’s matches than making any of his more watchable than a car crashing into a chicken coop? If I wanted to do everyone a favour, I’d sooner give Bethesda a call and say a feral ghoul escaped their game and is stinking up another FWA shows.

It occurs to Karma that he may be veering off subject at quite alarming speed

Johnny Karma: So, no, I’m not trying to start something here - I’m asking if how Cordy’s doing, because you and I are both waiting for the day she comes back to give the paskudnyak who took her out of action sixteen or seventeen lessons about how a professional wrestler should behave, because I’m sure I speak for a whole bunch of people when I say I'd rather watch a hundred of Cordy's matches over a hundred seconds of Chris Q’s dreck.

By the look on Cyncity’s face, you could see that she was a bit taken aback by the comments Karma was making. Especially the whole ‘how a professional wrestler should act’ bit.

Cyncity: Oooookay then. Cordy’s as fine as she could be I guess. She’s dealt with a similar injury before, but they’re saying it might be worse this time than it was last time. It’s one of those wait and see things.

Pausing for a moment, Cyn sets her Dr. Pepper back on the equipment crate and goes over something Karma said in her head.

Cyncity: Serious question here, Johnny. Not that it matters really since this is a nice change to see from you, but are you only acting all nicey nice and caring and stuff because you’ve kinda…

Watching her words, she changes what she was going to say up just a little bit.

Cyncity: … because you’re not booked here tonight or something? This just seems weird is all and I’m seriously not used to seeing you acting like… you know…

She points her finger at Karma and glances over at Cherry.

Cyncity: … this! It’s like you’re a totally different person. Unrecognizable almost. I think this is the first conversation we’ve ever had that didn’t turn into insults and threats between me and Cherry Baum. It’s actually kinda cool!

Clapping her hands together like a child who had just woke up on a snow day.

Cyncity: But I just hope it’s not for, you know, the wrong reasons and stuff.

Johnny Karma: What can I say, sometimes doing the good thing is also the same as doing the right thing. Besides, it's not too hard proving myself to be a better human being, considering we’re in Jersey...

Before he can continue, Karma is interrupted by Cherry nudging him in the arm to tell him maybe it would be a good moment for him to remember his pledge

Cherry Baum: As he said, he’s trying to be a better person.

Cherry side-eyes Karma as a none-too-subtle way of making a hint

Johnny Karma: ...yeah, that.

Cindy squints her eyes and then begins to chuckle. She lets out a sigh and reaches her good arm forward, patting Karma on the shoulder as she starts turning her heel.

Cyncity: Well... I hope that works out for you! But I has to go and get myself psyched up for this match. I’ll tell Cordy you were asking about her too! That should make her happy.

She waves at Karma and Cherry before turning around.

Cyncity: Byeee!

Cyn skips down the hallway, while Karma looks at Cherry before the two turn and walk in the other direction

[FGA Office]

The camera fades in as we see a shot of Riley Owens. He’s seated on the apron of a Lion’s Den ring, dressed in training gear.

Riley Owens: You know, there aren’t any companies in this industry like FGA. Everyone talks about how talented the roster is―that’s almost a given at this point. You can’t make it into FGA if you can’t go. However, people tend to forget about all the other stuff that FGA does…

Riley spreads his arms.

Riley Owens: Like Lion’s Den. Wrestling is grueling industry, and it’s hard to get into. One of the hardest things, is finding a place to train. The powers at FGA knew that, and that’s why they created this place. Some might see it as just another school or promotion, however, FGA and Lion’s Den are training and molding future stars.

Some of the students are already branching out and making names for themselves in Europe, Japan, etc. You’ve got FGA to thank for that.

He slowly nods head.

Riley Owens: Lastly, FGA does a good job of taking calculated risks. I’ve said this a few times on camera, but the company took a huge risk signing me. Shit, at the time, I was known as an sick, injury prone, mediocre wrestler. From a business perspective, the company should have shredded my letter of interest. I know there are people who wished they would have.

He smirks a bit.

Riley Owens: For whatever reason though, FGA saw something in me, at took a chance. I’d took the company made a good return on its investment.

He nods his head.

Riley Owens: Would I’d be half the wrestler am without FGA? Hmm, probably not. People like Dan Herrera, Jimmy Page, Cordy, Cyncity―they made me step my game up.

He let out a small sigh.

Riley Owens: So, FGA, thank you. Thank you for helping me out, thank you for helping my friends, and thank you for helping out this industry.

This is the Fourth Anniversary show―most promotions don’t make it that long. So by default, that makes FGA something special. So, wrestlers, fans, enjoy the moment tonight, alright?

The camera slowly fades out.

HAIR VS. CAREER
Cyncity vs. Dom Harter

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Hair versus Career Match!

Kevin Clement: This is one I’ve been waiting to see all night. These two have been trading verbal shots back and forth since May, and that infamous incident at Glory Road.

Evan Grayson: And now Dom Harter finally gets his revenge against the woman who cost him the Threepeat!

Kevin Clement: …not what I had in mind.

J.A. Aldridge: Introducing first, hailing from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 238lbs … He is ‘The Tenacious Little Bastard’ DOM HARTER!

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 New Jersey. 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.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania … She is CYNCITY!

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 audiences 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 buttom 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.

Kevin Clement: You can cut the tension with a knife right now; these two are dying to get at one another!

Evan Grayson: Time for Cyncity’s chickens to come home to roost.

The bell sounds to start the match as both Dom and Cindy remain in their corners; the crowd here in New Jersey are firmly behind Cyncity, cheering her on loudly as the two competitors step towards the center of the ring. Dom is wearing a smirk, never taking his eyes off Cindy; she returns the favor, glaring back at The Tenacious Little Bastard as the two of them stand mere inches apart. The trash talk is flowing fast and free until finally Cyncity lashes out! She connects with a forearm smash to the face, knocking Harter back a step…

Kevin Clement: Oh, she’s not holding back.

But he just laughs and returns with a hard right hand, knocking Cyncity down! She hits the mat, but gets right back up as Harter knocks her down again with another hard right. This time she staggers backwards, landing against the ropes as an eager Harter is on her, wailing away at his opponent with some forearm shots. An Irish whip sends Cyncity running across the ring, but she returns with a flying back elbow!

Both competitors scramble back to their feet as Cyncity connects with a dropkick! Again they hurry back to their feet as Dom lashes out hastily with a lariat – NO! Cyn ducks underneath the arm, countering with a mule kick to the midsection. It’s enough to double Dom over before Cyn connects with some knees to the face. The fans are on their feet cheering as she repeatedly drives her knees up into Dom’s face; he’s backed against the ropes as Cyn finally lets him back to an upright position before running forward, launching at her opponent with a cross body as they both tumble over the top rope!

Evan Grayson: Cyncity is taking the fight to Dom Harter right now, but does she really want to go to the outside here?

Kevin Clement: I have the sneaky suspicion the referee will be relaxed with the count out here – nobody wants to see this match end that way. So she’ll have to be careful stepping into what could potentially be Dom’s domain here.

As mentioned, the referee is slow to start the count out; both competitors begin to stir on the outside before the one count. Cyncity uses the apron to get back to her feet. She turns around to see where Dom is, as he’s pushing himself back up to his feet; she rushes him, grabbing him by the head and throwing him headlong into the guard rail! The crowd cheer again as Cyn lays in the boots, stomping at Harter. Finally, she relents, urging Dom to get back to his feet … and he smirks back at her, evil intention behind those eyes.

Harter gets back to his feet and lurches forward, only to be met by a boot to the midsection. She goes for an Irish whip – NO! Harter reverses and sends Cyncity shoulder first into the ring steps! The crowd begin to boo as Harter begins to choke his opponent, his boot placed across her throat. It takes a few seconds, but Dom finally releases the choke before lifting Cyn back to her feet and rolling her into the ring. And he makes the first cover.

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

Evan Grayson: Come on, Dom, it’s not going to be that easy.

Cyncity is dragged back to her feet and thrown back first into the turnbuckle. Harter follows her in, leaping through the air with a double knee lift to Cyncity’s torso! She goes to slump to the floor, but Dom keeps her standing as he thrusts his shoulder into her midsection repeatedly. The air being driven out of her lungs as Cyncity gasps for breath. The referee finally intervenes, pushing Harter back. But he doesn’t relent that easily. An Irish whip sends Cyncity from pillar to post; she hits the turnbuckle hard, staggering out of the corner, right into a snap powerslam!

As his opponent’s down on the mat clutching her back, Harter strolls around her, occasionally kicking Cyncity as she remains prone on the mat. The crowd boo as Dom taunts them, rubbing the sole of his boot into Cyn’s face.

Kevin Clement: That’s just disrespectful!

Evan Grayson: Did you expect anything else from Dom Harter?

Harter lifts his opponent back to her feet again, trash talking about what he’s going to make her do when he controls her contract – so Cyncity nails him with a forearm to the face! The crowd pop as Cyncity hits another forearm to the face, only for Dom to drive a knee up into the gut. An Irish whip sends Cyn towards the corner again as Harter charges in after her – NO! She gets the boot up, driving it into Dom’s face! The crowd pop again as Cyn takes the opportunity to kip up to the middle rope. She leaps off with a diving DDT, spiking Harter’s head into the canvas!

Kevin Clement: What a DDT!

The fans are urging Cyn to get back up; she sits upright, crawling towards the downed Dom as she drapes an arm across the chest.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Dom kicks out.

Cyncity curses her luck, but gets back to her feet regardless; the fans still cheering her on as she beckons Dom to stand up as well, mocking him with a shaving motion. Harter forces himself back to his feet angrily, lunging at Cyncity with a clothesline, only to see her duck under it. She runs against the ropes for some momentum, coming back with a spinning headscissors, going a whole full extra rotation before she sends Harter flipping down to the mat! He lands back first and pops back to an upright position as Cyn charges in again, catching him with a single knee facebreaker! Dom staggers backwards, tumbling out through the ropes before landing on the apron. Cyn takes a moment to catch her breath before springboarding off the ropes, catching Dom with a triangle dropkick that knocks him off the apron!

Evan Grayson: What’s Cyncity doing here?

Cyn steps out onto the apron as, on the outside, Dom uses the guard rails to pick himself up once again. He turns around to face her, just in time to see Cyn flip through the air with a senton bomb! Another cheer from the crowd as Cyncity stands back up, posing for her adoring fans over the downed body of Dom Harter. But she doesn’t want to keep this match outside of the ring, instead choosing to role Dom back in before following him in.

Harter crawls towards the center of the ring, seemingly favoring his left knee as he pushes himself back to his feet – and he eats a superkick to the back of the head! It’s enough to send him staggering towards the corner as Cyncity runs in, using Dom’s own moves against him as she hits a running double knee lift! Harter staggers out of the corner again, and this time Cyn wraps an arm around his head before launching herself upwards for the YoshiT! She grabs hold of the leg for the cover!

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

Kevin Clement: Harter kicks out! What resilience.

Evan Grayson: Cyncity is going to need more than that if she wants to put Harter away.

Cyn looks towards the referee, but he assures her it was only a two count. Relenting, she lifts Dom back to his feet again; he’s out on his feet, dazed and confused as Cyn gives him a quick kiss on the cheek before running against the ropes.

Kevin Clement: I know what’s coming next – Beauty and the Knee!

Indeed. Cyncity rebounds off the ropes, coming back with the busa–NO! Harter snatches her up and throws her down with a huge spinebuster! The ring shakes with the impact, but Harter can’t capitalize; he rolls away as Cyn is splayed out in the middle of the ring. The crowd fall silent as Harter forces himself back to a vertical base, making a show of wiping the kiss off his cheek before he sneers down at his opponent.

Evan Grayson: I’m not sure why he’s wiping that off, many people would love to get kissed by Cyncity.

Kevin Clement: Including yourself?

Evan Grayson: Oh definitely. Just look at her, Kevin, tell me you don’t feel the same way.

But Clement can’t think of answer in time before the action continues; Harter has a handful of hair as he lifts Cyncity back to her feet before scooping her up onto his shoulder. He parades around the ring for a moment before running towards the corner, driving Cyn back first into the turnbuckle, then lowering down into a tree of woe position. Harter delivers a couple of stomps to the midsection before making his way to the other corner. His gaze locked on the wide eyes of his opponent; Harter charges in with a spear almost breaking Cyncity in half!

She slumps down to the mat, but Harter doesn’t go for the cover. With an inverted facelock applied, Harter lifts his opponent up once more, making his towards the center of the ring.

Kevin Clement: …he didn’t…

Evan Grayson: He did! He just used the Glitter Driver against Cyncity!

Cyncity hits the mat face first after the modified reverse STO, and this time Harter crawls across to make the cover. A forearm across the face to add insult to injury.

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

The crowd pop as Cyncity gets the shoulder up! But Harter is indignant! He throws the shoulder back down and covers again.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
NO! Cyncity kicks out!

Evan Grayson: How did she kick out of that one!?

Kevin Clement: She really doesn’t want to give up that contract, especially not after hearing what Dom has planned for her.

Harter is irate; he can’t believe that didn’t finish the job. The referee assures him it was only a two count, but the official is quick to back away as Harter moves towards him. And who can blame him? Finally, Harter turns his attention back to his opponent; Cyncity hasn’t moved much as Harter drags her back up by a handful of hair. A quick toe kick doubles her over as Harter bounces off the nearest ropes for some momentum, coming back with a running knee lift – NO! Harter’s knee weakens, forcing him down to one knee as Cyn spins on the spot, countering with her patented somersault kick!

Kevin Clement: The Rainbow Maker connects! Harter could be in trouble here.

Cyncity gets her second wind, forcing herself back to her feet as quick as possible as Harter is on all fours. She drags him up in a butterfly hold and plants him into the mat with a double arm DDT!

Evan Grayson: Spin The Black Circle?! She just used Dom’s own move against him!

And Cyncity hooks the leg.

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

She can’t believe it. The crowd can’t believe it. Evan and Kevin are in stunned silence as Dom gets the shoulder up in the nick of time. Cyncity is in disbelief as she sits in the center of the ring, wondering what she has to do to put her opponent away. As she stands up, Cyn looks towards the corner; the crowd cheer as they know what to expect. But Harter is beginning to stir. Cyncity helps her opponent up to his feet before she gives Dom another kiss on the cheek. This time as she hits the ropes, she manages to connect with the Busaiku knee strike!

Kevin Clement: This could be it, Evan. Cyncity’s looking to go up top and that can only mean it’s time for the Standing Ovation.

Evan Grayson: No, it can’t be. Dom has to have more in him than this…

Cyn climbs out through the ropes, making her way across the apron before finally she begins to climb to the top rope. Slowly, but surely, she makes her way up to the middle rope, then finally to the top rope…

But Dom’s on his feet. The adrenaline surging through his body as he nails Cyncity with a hard right hand. The another. He climbs to the middle rope himself, hooking Cyncity for the superplex – NO! She desperately fights her way out, landing some punches to the gut. A quick kick to the knee causes Harter to wobble, releasing his grip of his opponent as he tries not to fall. But Cyn seizes the chance; a few more forearm shots connect before she picks her moment; Cyn jumps up and around the back of Dom’s head, wrapping her legs around it before leaping off the turnbuckle with a Super Cynderana!

Kevin Clement: What did we just see?!

Evan Grayson: That was spectacular, Kevin! What an amazing move by Cyncity, and I think this might be it!

Harter is sprawled across the mat as Cyncity begins the slow crawl across, hooking a leg as the referee makes the count.

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

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match … CYNCITY!

Kevin Clement: She did it! Cyncity has beaten Dom Harter!

Evan Grayson: No, that means we’ll never get to see her in those sexy outfits!

Kevin Clement: Yes, but more over, it means she gets to shave Dom’s head.

The crowd are on their feet, cheering madly as the referee raises Cyncity’s arm in victory. From the back, a few members of staff carry a barber’s chair down the aisle.

Evan Grayson: No, this can’t be happening. Get up, Dom! Run!

The chair is lifted into the ring and set dead in the center of the squared circle as Cyncity’s music dies down. Harter begins to stir, sitting up as he sees Cyncity standing there with the electric razor in her hand; if looks could kill then she’d be in danger, but Harter bows his head, running his hands through his hair as he forces himself up. The two of them stand face to face; the victorious Cyncity points towards the chair as Harter stands there with his hands on his hips…

Kevin Clement: Are these…are the fans chanting “Bawld Dom”?

He takes a deeo breath before finally relenting, stoically sitting in the chair with an impassive look on his face. Cyncity parades around with the razor lifted high for all to see before she turns it on; she starts from the front, taking a chunk out of the blonde fauxhawk. Harter watches the hair fall to the mat as Cyncity runs the razor across his head again. His expression wavering only for a second; his lips pressed tightly together as he closes his eyes for an extended moment. Cyncity continues shaving the head, running the razor across the scalp of The Tenacious Little Bastard until finally the last hair is gone.

Evan Grayson: Poor Dom Harter…

Kevin Clement: Said no one ever. But he knew the stakes when he entered this match, he knew what he could lose if Cyncity defeated him. And what a victory it was for her.

Cyncity’s music begins playing as she remains in the ring, her arms raised high in the air as a now bald Harter makes his way back up the aisle, his hands placed firmly on his hips, his head bowed in defeat. But that doesn’t stop Cyncity from celebrating.

[FGA Office]

(A man stands with his back turned to the camera. His hair is slicked back. His leather jacket looks all too familiar. When he turns to face the camera, it all becomes clear. Standing before us is none other than "The Metal Heart" Ben Hanson.)

Ben Hanson: Hey, FGA! Ben Hanson here, just checking in on the Four Year Anniversary Show. I remember back when we all first started, those of us on the roster all dreamt of where FGA would be in four years time. And I've got to say, I'm not disappointed. I was lucky enough to be part of the first year, getting the chance to put on matches against the likes of Jared James, Preston Blake and - of course - Chandler Scott! And I'll never forget my reign as the FGA Heavyweight Champion, and that tremendous match against Chandler when he finally became the champion for the first time. Who'd have thought he'd be back on top after all this time. But, as a fan, I'm looking forward to the future of FGA!

[FGA Office]

(Backstage, FGA is standing by in front of the familiar FGA backdrop.)

Spencer Burke: Spencer Burke here. With me right now is the World Champion, Chandler Scott.

(Chandler Scott walks into frame. The FGA World Championship is glistening like it always is. )

Spencer Burke: Tonight, you are defending your title tonight against yet another challenger. But this isn’t just any challenger. This is the Pride Champion. This is the Frontier Lions Cup winner. This is a man that you called a friend, Tony Carmine. Your final thoughts heading into this match

(Chandler stares off into thought. Once the words come to him, he turns his gaze back to Burke.)

Chandler Scott: It’s funny… I heard the man say that he had to do something. He said he had to do something to make this match interesting. That was his excuse, Spencer. Even after he did what he did to me, even after he drove the knife right into my back, he couldn’t be man enough and admit to what he did. “Had to make it interesting” my ass. As if having the two top guys in this company going at it wasn’t interesting enough. As if having the World Champion and the Pride Champion going at it wasn’t interesting enough…

(Chandler turns his gaze to the camera.)

Chandler Scott: Tony, you proved to me once and for all what type of person you are when you did what you did to me two weeks ago. You ruined what this match could have been. You ruined this.

(Chandler takes his index finger and moves it back and forth towards the camera.)

Chandler Scott: Now, I ruin you. But don’t you worry, “honey”. At least you can take solace in the fact that you’ll be walking out of here with your championship. Though wait, I take that back. You will be leaving this building with your Pride Championship. That much is true. Whether or not you’ll be walking out of this building? Well, that remains to be seen. But whether you do walk out or you don’t, whether you’re stretched out of here or not, one thing is for certain; every head must bow and every tongue must confess that Chandler… Reigns… Supreme.

MAIN EVENT
FGA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(c) Chandler Scott vs. Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine

Kevin Clement: Here we are, Evan. It is main event time! Who do you got?

Evan Grayson: You know, it would be so easy for me to pick the champion. But in a match like this where both men are eventually matched, I have no choice but to pick… the champion.

Kevin Clement: The champion?

Evan Grayson: That’s right, the champion!

Kevin Clement: They’re both champions! So which one are you talking about?

Evan Grayson: The champion!

Kevin Clement: The World Champion or the Pride Champion.

Evan Grayson: Like I said, I’m picking the champion. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Kevin Clement: You’re still unbelievable, even after all this time!

Evan Grayson: You’re welcome!

Kevin Clement: … let’s just send it to the ring, please...

When "Solarflare" by Yung Lean hits, the lights dim and eventually the crowd will begin to jeer. Pink and purple strobe lights starts to flare. Once the bass drops, Scandalous Tony emerges from the curtains with his arms spread out, accompanied by 3 full-figured women following behind him(never the same group of women). He pops the collar on his furry vest before turning his back the ring and utters something to the women behind him. Suddenly he swings back around and slowly struts down the ramp, repeating the lyrics. He takes his purple pick out and starts picking his hair out.

"The molecule that's me won't go without a fist
I'm a molecule but I stand in the mist
Bitch don't cut your wrists, I'mma kill to live
Solar flare, I can see the skies opening, I'm almost there"

After putting the pick away, he then pulls out a nail filer and starts filing his nails, all the while taking his sweet time to get to the ring as he instructs the females to have the ropes held for him by the time he gets to ringside. With the ladies seated on the middle rope, Tony ignores them and walks up the steps and into the ring on his own. Tony laughs as he stands on the middle rope and looks out to the fans while slowly and seductively taking his furry vest off and throwing it to the group of females as they step off the apron. He backflips into the ring as his music slowly fades.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, now residing out of Boca Raton, Florida! He is the reigning FGA Pride Champion, SUNSHINE SCANDALOUS TONY CARMINE!

Kevin Clement: Tony’s actions at the end of the last edition of Vertigo looks to have severed the ties between both he and Chandler Scott. Tony hopes that win or lose, they can remain friends. But judging by what Chandler’s said recently, I don’t think he wants anything to do with The Scandalous One.

Evan Grayson: Look at that handsome man! Tony Carmine, Sunshine Scandalous, The Scandalous One. He goes by many names. One name he prominently goes by is the Pride Champion and if he gets his way tonight, we’ll also be calling him our new World Champion. Some say that Tony should be intimidated. But when you’re a star, let alone The Last Star, like Tony is, you’re born ready. You’re born for the spotlight. Wrestling on this stage is a piece of cake. It’s who he’s wrestling, that’s the problem.

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 cheer and boo loudly. The camera dolly slowly rolls up towards the curtain. At around the 30 second mark, Chandler Scott pushes through the curtain.

Kevin Clement: How about this reaction from the crowd?

Evan Grayson: Yeah, I hear those cheers. It took them long enough, didn’t it? They should’ve been respecting this man’s greatness since day one. But better late than never, right?

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Hyannis, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 229 pounds! He is the reigning… defending… FGA World Champion, CHANDLER SCOTT!

There isn’t any showmanship from Chandler. He simply keeps his eyes focused on the crowd as he makes his way down the aisle. After running up the steps, he enters through the ropes before taking off his championship belt. Chandler steps back in the corner.

Kevin Clement: Look at Chandler Scott, ready to get down to business. He’s not even looking in Tony’s direction.

But as I wait patiently for that reunion to happen, I must give respect to both of these men. In my opinion, they truly are the two best that FGA has to offer. That was a tremendous, hard hitting match. Zero McHannon, this is what your future holds. I hope you’re ready. I hope you’re prepared because at Final Frontier, it’s going to be on!

Kevin Clement: For Sam Roberts, Kris Cruise, Stephy Auger and Evan Grayson, this is Kevin Clement signing off. We’ll see you in two weeks at the next edition of Vertigo. Goodnight, everyone!

[FGA Office]

A crackle of static gives way to a dimly lit hallway, that is cloaked in gradually increasing shadows down the far end. Sitting against the back wall is a man with stringy blond hair draped down over his lowered head. His arms rest across his knees as he sits with his back against the wall. The only sign of movement is of his shoulders, covered in a leather jacket, slowly rising and falling as he breathes in and out. Slowly. Deliberately.

Presently, the man gradually lifts his head. The strands of blond hair slowly slip back off his brow and from his eyes, to reveal the scruffy, bedraggled face of Malcolm Drake.

"Four years," his words escape as a hiss, "Has it really been that long? My, my, my... How you've grown. It seems like... only yesterday I was promising the death of this promotion. Only yesterday that I was CAVING in skulls, and SHATTERING bones... and leaving nothing but lifeless husks in my wake. Only yesterday that I - and my flock of horrible crows - stood face-to-face with the invaders of Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER... you're last hope of survival. After all, my love... no one gets to kill you except me."

A slow, smooth smirk creases the right side of Drake's face.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten ME," his voice a delicate mix of whisper and malice, "Oh the times we had, when I carved a scar across your face and called you my own. Such... fond... memories..."

"Happy Anniversary, FGA. Remember me. Remember what lurks in the shadows."

"Memento mori..."

Drake lowers his head as the shadows seems to envelope him in darkness.
