Keivn Clement: Hello Frontier Fans and thank you for ordering this DVD or internet stream. We are coming to you from the Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey. This is a big weekend for Frontier Grappling Arts. Tonight, we have a card featuring some of the up and comers here in FGA. And then tomorrow night, it's the night that everyone has been buzzing about for over a month now. FGA will be on a Collision course with Peach State Wrestling tomorrow night in South Carolina. It's double shot weekend here in FGA! Right now, let's send it to the ring where Manny Cruz is ready to introduce the grapplers in our opening contest.....
The lights go off as “Fear Of A Blank Planet” kicks in. The first seven seconds go by and the lights flash just as the song picks up. The Wonderboy struts out and looks around the arena, smoke rising up to his knees. He takes a few steps forward and looks over the crowd again, raising his arm up before running down the ramp and sliding in under the bottom rope. He looks from left to right and turns to face his opponent.
Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, from San Jose, California, weighing in at 221 pounds.... He is "The Wonderboy", MIKE SMITH!
Clement: Mike Smith, making his FGA debut here tonight. Smith is coming off of a five year hiatus. But he does has a good deal of experience, debuting nearly 10 years ago. After being signed a couple of months back, he is now finally making his debut on this big weekend for FGA.
"Rockit" begins to play over the speakers as Matt Mario steps through the curtain to cheers from the crowd. After looking around at the crowd and nodding his head in approval, Matt jumps up and then races down the aisle. After sliding underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, he pushes himself up and heads into the corner. Matt climbs up onto the second rope and throws his index finger in the air. He then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and backflips off, landing safely on his feet in the ring to cheers.
Cruz: And his opponent, from The Magic Kingdom.... weighing in at 168 pounds.... "Player 1" MATT MARIO!
Clement: Matt Mario, one half of the Super Mario Wrestling Bros, are a new tag team around the independent scene. His partner will be in action later on. But right now, Matt Mario will have to go it alone against the seasoned vet.
Grayson: I have no idea who is crazier: Mike Smith, who appears to be out of his mind or Matt Mario, who thinks he's in a damn video game.
Clement: It doesn't really matter what you think of them personally. It's all about what they can do in the ring. And if you ask me, I think both of these men can go.
The bell sounds as both men make their way to the center of the ring. After shaking hands, they step back and circle the ring. They then inch back to each other and lock up. After jockeying for position, Smith moves Mario into the corner. The ref then scurries over and tells both men to break it up by the count of five.

Grayson: A lot of near falls there by Smith, but it only resulted in a two count.

Cruz: Here is your winner, MIKE SMITH!

Clement: Tough loss there for Matt Mario. But Mike Smith gets his name in the win column in his debut match. It must be a great feeling.
Grayson: It looked like Mario had him. But as soon as he took his foot off the gas, that left an opening for Mike Smith. Smith took it and never looked back.
Clement: Both men definitely looked impressive and we look forward to what they have in store in the future. Right now, let's send it to the Event Center where Justice Young is standing by....
