"Perfect Insanity" by Disturbed plays as a video package is shown of various FGA grapplers making their way through various entranceways. The video then switches to various FGA grapplers getting kicked, punched, slammed, suplexed and dropped onto the mat.... Come inside and be afraid
Of this impressive mess I've made
If you take a look now you will find
I have thrown away my vice
Done away with paradise
See what's going on inside my mind
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me... After dramatic slow motion shots of various grapplers flipping off the top turnbuckle, the video switches to the Flashpoint logo as the chorus kicks in. The video fades to an outside shot of the Ford Center in Evansville, IN. We then transition inside to a wide shot of the arena. The camera then pans around, capturing the excited crowd. An FGA chant breaks out throughout several sections of the crowd...
Geoff Penzer: Hello, wrestling fans, and welcome to another installment of Flashpoint! I am your host, Geoff Penzer! Tonight, we are kicking things off with a rematch from Grapple Kingdom 2 as new 15 Champion Brian Stryker defends against the former champion, “The Queen of Mean” Neon! Also here tonight, we will hear from the new FGA World Tag Team Champions, Smart Style, who knocked off The Chaotics a few weeks ago! We’ll also be seeing the in-ring debut of Sloan Talbot and A.C. Smith! Ashley Sullivan returned to FGA at Grapple Kingdom 2! Tonight, she has her first match back in three years against another debuting talent in Uziah Jue! Brookford and Kendall Kingham go one on one in tonight’s headliner! In the main event, you already knew we were going to have a good one with Chandler Scott and Evan Envi! However, just moments before tonight’s broadcast, I was informed by Hadley Herrera that tonight’s main event will now be for the number one contendership! That's right, the winner of tonight’s main event will face Johnny Karma at Only the Strong Survive for the FGA Undisputed Championship! What a night of action! Let’s send it to the ring where Melanie Sierra is to give the in-ring introductions for tonight’s 15 Championship Match!
Melanie Sierra: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the FGA 15 Championship!
Neon’s music hits and the bass echoes around the arena fusing with a sea of boos from the audience and she glides with decorum laced arrogance acknowledging the crowd around her with glacial eyes and a sinister smile. She raises both her arms so they hang level with her shoulders and the white lights begin to flicker heavily as she lingers for a brief moment.
Geoff Penzer: At Grapple Kingdom 2 we saw a new champion crowned in Bryan Stryker. We haven’t heard much from Neon since the contest, but-- oh-- what?
A mixed reaction surges throughout the arena as Evan Envi makes his way out from behind the curtains, applauding Neon. The lights suspend again and Neon makes her way down the ramp, painted with the same expression she arrived into the arena with, fixating her gaze solely on the ring, remaining ignorant to the fans around her that send floods of jeers her way. She takes her hoop earrings off as she is walking down and turns, placing them in Envi’s hand, leaning forward to plant a peck on his lips to boos from the audience before she turns.
Geoff Penzer: It looks like Neon isn’t coming down to the ring alone…
She runs towards the closest set of steel steps, peeling her mink off of her before motioning to the camera to come closer as she travels the apron, tossing it over it as it begins to get closer forcing it to jump to another on the other side of the ring which is witness to her slowly entering the ring. She walks to the centre and the lights begin to quiver again as she raises her arms in identical fashion to that on the ramp as the audience’s boos only strengthen in sound.
Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, in the ring, accompanied by Evan Envi, hailing from Milan, Italy, she is “The Queen of Mean”, NEEEEOOOONNN!
The lights pulsate finally until they rest on a solid white and Neon walks slowly backwards into her corner, widening her smile and toying with her hair in her hands while the music fades. She shoots a wink to Evan Envi, who-- as the camera pans over to reveal-- is taking a seat at the commentary table. He winks up at Neon.
Geoff Penzer: It looks like I’m actually being joined here on commentary by the Chief. Um-- Evan, how are you?
Evan Envi: Could be better, Geoff. I could be Undisputed Champion.
Geoff Penzer: Oh--
Evan Envi: I’m not though.
Geoff Penzer: ...yeee…yeeep…
Evan Envi: Horrible. It’s horrible.
Melanie Sierra: And her opponent…
"The following beat down has been brought to you by Dark Horse Protection. Dark Horse Protection: Protecting your ass, cause we need root beer money.""Yeah,
I've made my mistake
I've seen my heart cave in
I got my scars
I've been to hell and back again"
Dark Horses by Switchfoot starts to play as the guitar intro hammers out into the arena. Brian Stryker walks out from behind the curtain, his hood up, title belt around his neck. Brian walks to the center of the stage. He gets down on one knee and runs his hand over the floor of the stage. He rises to his feet and throws his hood back, grabbing his 15 Championship as he holds it above his head..
"Born for the blue skies
We’ll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain"
He walks down the ramp, not taking his eyes off the ring. When he gets to the steel steps, he walks up them and climbs the turnbuckle to the top. He looks out to the crowd before holding out his title as the crowd sings the chorus.
"We’re singing…
Hey, you can’t count us out
We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We’re singing…
Wait! It’s not over now
We’ve been down but we’ve never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses"
Geoff Penzer: From where you’re sitting, Evan, what does Neon have to do to stop the momentum of Stryker?
Evan Envi: Win the match.
Melanie Sierra: In the ring, representing Dark Horse Protections, he is the
new FGA 15 Champion, Brian STRYYYKER!
Stryker sits himself on the top turnbuckle as he looks down at his title and kisses the front plate before handing it to the ref. His music fades and he shoots a look toward Envi before winking to Neon, who glowers at the new champion before the bell sounds!
Geoff Penzer: And this one’s underway. Fifteen minutes on the clock! Who’s your money on, Chief?
Evan Envi: Really?
Stryker moves toward Neon, motioning for a lock-up. She takes a step back, giving Stryker a once-over with a look of disgust on her face.
”LET’S GO STRYKER!” ”NEON SUCKS!”
”LET’S GO STRYKER!” ”NEON SUCKS!”
”LET’S GO STRYKER!” ”NEON SUCKS!”
”LET’S GO STRYKER!” ”NEON SUCKS!”
Stryker strides forward again, but Neon drops to her back and rolls out of the ring beneath the bottom rope, walking over toward the commentary desk with a pout. Boos rain down on the “Queen of Mean”, but Envi rises to his feet, placing his hands over Neon’s ears as she moves toward him.
Evan Envi: Unbelievable. I thought we were cool, Kentucky!
Stryker shakes his head, pacing in the ring a bit as the referee begins to count the challenger out while she seeks comfort from Envi at the announce desk.
”ONE!”
“TWO!”
“THREE!”
“FOUR!”Evan Envi: You got this. Get them cakes back in there.
Neon turns and begins to walk back to the ring-- just as Stryker rushes the ropes and launches himself over with a vaulting splash! Neon tries to scramble out of the way but Stryker lands fully on her, driving her to the floor! We quickly pan to the look of shock on Envi’s face before panning back to Stryker, who yells back out into the deafening audience as we cut to a replay of the action!
Geoff Penzer: The Queen of Mean just got crushed! Stryker is rolling!
Brian Stryker hoists Neon up and rolls her into the ring beneath the bottom rope before climbing onto the apron and moving to the turnbuckles. Neon pushes herself up to her hands and knees in the center of the ring, clutching her ribs. Stryker walks along the top rope as Neon pushes herself up to her knees-- and he leaps off with a Springboard Crossbody, smashing down into the kneeling Neon!
Geoff Penzer: Oh my God! Flight of the Valkyries and what a landing! A cover!
Evan Envi: Mannnnn…

THRE-!
Neon kicks out frantically and rolls to the ropes, gasping for air. Stryer pulls himself up in the middle of the ring and measures Neon as she begins to pull herself up on the ropes. He charges forward-- but Neon counters with a hard back elbow to the oncoming champion. Stryker shakes off the shot and hoos Neon from behind for a rear waist lock but Neon hugs the top rope! The referee tries to pull Stryker off…
...and Neon throws her leg back, catching Stryer with a mule kick between the legs! Stryker howls out in pain and stumbles back. Immediately, Neon pivots and blasts Stryker with a Discus Forearm, taking him to his back!
Geoff Penzer: Come on now!
Evan Envi: What? What’s wrong?
Geoff Penzer: A blatant Low Blow by Neon, and now she’s taken control!
Evan Envi: Huh? You can’t just make up spots in your head, Geoff.
Boos rain down on the challenger as she sits on the middle rope, eyes locked on Stryker. The FGA 15 Champion struggles to push himself up with his palms, rising upright, but Neon rushes forward again and hits a second Discus Elbow! Stryker nearly flips from the impact, landing hard on his neck and shoulders, prompting Neon to take advantage with a jackknife cover!

Kickout!Stryker throws Neon off of him, but the challenger scrambles back on top of Stryker and begins to hammer away with forearms and elbows, shrieking with each shot! Stryker tries to cover up, but Neon eventually pulls herself off of him, grabbing a handful of Stryker’s hair-- before dropping a knee down across his skull, slamming him roughly into the canvas to a groan from the crowd. The referee scolds Neon, but she grabs a handful of Stryker’s hair again, lifting his head up, before using her knee to drive him down into the canvas! Stryker covers his face with one hand, slapping a hand on the mat in frustration with the other.
Geoff Penzer: Come on! She’s gonna break his nose!
Neon goes for the cover, leaning back with the near leg cradled.

TH--!
Geoff Penzer: And a kickout by Stryker, but the champion is dazed. He’s been in a bad way ever since that Low Blow.
Evan Envi: There you go again. Neon is doing a pretty sick job taking it to Stryker in there. I like Stryker, but he came out here all hot-headed and got ahead of himself, and now bae is gonna show him what’s up.
Neon rolls to her feet and waits for Stryker to do the same. Stryker pushes himself up with a single foot beneath himself and Neon shoots the ropes, rebounding for the “Lights Out” Scissors Kick… but Stryker sways out of harm’s way! He tries to hook Neon’s arms for a Straightjacket, but she slips free, dropping to her back again before rolling out of the ring, stumbling into the barricade to escape.
Geoff Penzer: We almost saw shades of Grapple Kingdom 2! Stryker went for the Overdose but Neon escaped! LOOK!
Neon turns away from the barricade, looking toward the ring just as Stryker leaps onto the top rope and manages to pivot on the rope itself, leaping backwards for a Springboard Moonsault-- but Neon rolls out of the way and Stryker crashes rib-first across the barricade! The audience erupts into a mixed reaction, but before Stryker can even moan in pain, Neon runs forward and delivers the Scissors Kick! Stryker crashes from the barricade, down to the floor with chants of
”HOLY SHIT!” echoing throughout the arena! Neon grins as she leans against the steel steps, slowly pulling herself up and picking Stryker up with a handful of hair in one fist and his tights in the other, slowly rolling him into the ring.
Geoff Penzer: Brian Stryker is finished!
Evan Envi: Seems that way. But this is pretty much the M.O. of Camp Envi, Geoff. It’s our new mentality. It’s not personal-- we just do what we need to do to get it done.
Geoff Penzer: So that was Neon’s M.O. when she attacked Cherry Baum? To help you get it done?
Evan Envi: Ch.. what? What match are you watching right now? Ayy, a cover!
Neon hooks Stryker’s far leg and grapevines the near one to boos from the audience!

THR--!
Stryker throws a shoulder up and the audience roars while Neon slams her hands on the mat in frustration. She rises to her feet, looking prepared to scream… but she internalizes the rage, closing her eyes, taking a deep breath instead. She steps out to the apron and moves to the turnbuckles, slowly ascending to the top.
Geoff Penzer: We don’t see Neon go up top very often!
Stryker groggily reaches his feet-- and Neon sails from the top, nailing a Missile Dropkick to the jaw! Stryker flips from the impact and Neon scrambles over to him, pulling him into another pin!

THRE-!
The FGA 15 Champion kicks out emphatically and Neon shoots a glare at the official. He holds up two fingers to emphasize the point, but Neon rises and turns to Stryker, delivering hard boots to his ribcage. Stryker tries to curl into the fetal position, but Neon throws sharp kicks to the side of his body! Stryker rolls to the ropes, where Neon drops a knee across the throat of the champion, pushing herself down with the ropes to apply more pressure! Stryker flails and the referee administers a five-count!
Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Neon pulls herself off, but pivots and shoots the ropes on the far side of the ring. She rebounds with a hesitation Dropkick to the ribs of Stryker, sending him out from beneath the bottom rope and straight to the floor! Stryker squirms in pain and Neon tries to go after him, but she’s stopped by the referee who turns and begins another ten-count!
Evan Envi: The ref needs to stop getting so handsy in there. Neon has about six minutes to put Stryker away and bring that gold back to Camp Envi.
”ONE!”
“TWO!”
“THREE!”
“FOUR!”
“FIVE!”Stryker finally reaches his feet using the barricade, though Neon seems to be growing impatient in the ring. Behind the ref’s back, she slips out of the ring to the apron. Neon runs half the length of the ring on the apron before leaping from it, planting Stryker with a Tornado DDT outside of the ring! Stryker flips from the impact and seems to be out in a seated position! Neon crawls over to the champion and nails a stiff forearm to the side of the head, knocking him over onto his side.
Geoff Penzer: God! Stryker might be out! Neon just has to get him in the ring and we have a brand new champion!
Neon pulls against Stryker, dragging him up by his hair… but in desperation, Stryker shoves his number one contender back, sending her smashing back-first into the steel steps! The stairs separate from one another and Neon’s mouth opens in a silent “O” of pain. Chants of
”BRIAN STRYKER!” echo throughout the arena and the champion uses the apron to pull himself up once again.
”ONE!”
“TWO!”
“THREE!”Neon pulls herself to her feet, clutching her back… but she charges at Stryker-- only to be caught with an apron-assisted Gamengiri! Neon reels against the side of the ring and Stryker rolls her in beneath the bottom rope. Stryker follows her inside and immediately Neon looks to gain the upperhand, rolling to her feet and running forward to nail a hard Big Boot to Stryker’s temple! Stryker staggers back into the ropes and Neon catches him on the rebound with a Sitout Spinebuster! Stryker clutches the back of his head, crying out in pain before he rolls over onto his hands and knees. Neon rolls back to her feet again, screaming for Stryker to get to his feet!
Geoff Penzer: Neon is beside herself!
Stryker staggers upright and Neon nails a boot to the gut before hooking him for a Fisherman Suplex-- but Stryker counters with hard elbows to the base of the neck! Neon falls to her knees but shoves Stryker back! Stryker falls back into the ropes… and rebounds out of nowhere with a Spike Hurricanrana to the kneeling Neon!
Geoff Penzer: WOW!
Evan Envi: Wowww…
The audience roars and Stryker nods along with the
”LET’S GO STRYKER!” chants. He pulls himself to his feet and makes his way to the corner, ascending to the second turnbuckle… and then finally stepping up to the top. With a deep breath, Stryker leaps from the top for a Corkscrew Moonsault!
Geoff Penzer: Corkscr-- NO!
Neon rolls out of harm’s way, but Stryker lands on his feet! He staggers back as Neon scrambles to her feet as well and both Grapplers charge each other, with Neon looking for the Swinging Neckbreaker…
...but Stryker uses her momentum against her, swinging her around into a front facelock! He hooks Neon for the Front Guillotine to a roar from the audience! Neon flails desperately as Stryker wrenches the hold, but Neon manages to hook the leg of the standing FGA 15 Champion and drive him to the mat with a Fisherman’s Suplex! Neon holds the bridge and the audience groans as the ref makes the count!

Geoff Penzer: Stryker kicks out! Less than three minutes to go, and Brian Stryker kicks out!
Neon looks shocked! She leans on the bottom rope, turning to look at Evan Envi who looks just as shocked as he gazes back toward her. Neon runs a hand through her hair and pulls herself up with the ropes, glaring back at Stryker, who pushes himself up in the center of the ring. Neon shakes her head and rushes across the ring, going for a Big Boot, but Stryker side-steps with centimeters to spare! He hooks Neon’s arms and goes for a Backslide… but Neon flips over Stryker’s back and lands on her feet in front of him, bringing him to the mat with a Snap DDT! Stryker bounces off the canvas and Neon hooks both legs!

Neon rolls out of the cover and up to her feet, but Stryker maintains a hold of her wrist! He rolls to his feet as well and performs an arm wrench, twisting Neon’s left arm before blasting her with a hook kick that sends a
CRACK! echoing throughout the arena! Neon collapses to the canvas and Stryker collapses on top of her, grabbing the far leg as he leans back!
Geoff Penzer: FIRST STRYKE! IT’S OVER, WITH TWO MINUTES TO SPARE!
Evan Envi: …

Neon throws her shoulder up to a thunderous mixed reaction from the audience! Stryker stares at the referee with a look of bewilderment. He pushes himself to his knees while chants of
”BRIAN STRYKER!” echo throughout the arena. Neon rolls onto her stomach and Stryker shakes his head a bit before pushing himself up to his feet. He delivers a single stomp to Neon’s back before lifting her left leg, looking for a Single Leg Crab! Neon cries out… but rolls onto her back immediately, using her free leg to kick Stryker away, sending him stumbling back! Stryker rushes back toward Neon for a Running Enzuigiri, but Neon ducks beneath the kick! Stryker lands on his stomach, but pushes himself up-- only to be blasted with a Running Big Boot to the back of the head! Stryker is nearly spiked into the canvas from the impact!
Evan Envi: THERE WE GO!
Stryker pushes himself up to his hands and knees and Neon hits the ropes, rebounding with a Scissors Kick, driving Stryker to the canvas! Neon pushes him onto his back, hooking the far leg, grapevining the near one as she leans deep into the cover!

Stryker kicks out emphatically, flipping all the way to his stomach in the escape… but Neon wastes no time locking Stryker in a Front Guillotine of her own, applying a grapevine!
Evan Envi: Look at her go!
Geoff Penzer: Guillotine! Less than a minute to go!
Neon screams for Stryker to “TAAAAAP!” Stryker raises a hand in the air, considering doing just that… but stops, waving his finger instead to the delight of Kentucky! The audience reaches a fever pitch as Stryker pushes himself up to a foot… only to be brought back down to his knees by the challenger! Stryker gets his other foot beneath him… but Neon wrenches the Guillotine and Stryker collapses to his knees again! Neon screams once more for Stryker to “GIVE UP!” but Stryker can be seen visibly shaking, planting his feet beneath himself… before forcing himself to his feet and sending Neon overhead with a high-angle Back Body Drop!
Evan Envi: Come on…
Geoff Penzer: Stryker escapes! Chief…!
Stryker signals for the end to the audience and hoists Neon up from behind. He positions her for the Pumphandle and lists her up-- but Neon slips down over Stryker’s shoulder and nails a high knee to the back of the head! Stryker’s eyes widen as he stumbles forward, falling to a knee!
Geoff Penzer: Oh my God!
Boos rain down on Neon as she shoots the ropes and rebounds for a Scissors Kick… but Stryker stands upright, catching Neon’s leg in mid-air! He flips Neon onto her back across his shoulder and spins her out, driving her to the canvas for an Argentine Powerbomb to a roar from the crowd!
Geoff Penzer: KILAUEA ERUPTION!
Stryker rolls on top of Neon, hooking the far leg as the referee makes the count with nine seconds to spare!

“Dark Horse” hits the PA system and Brian Stryker immediately rolls out to the apron, sitting upright, rubbing his own neck as the audience applauds his efforts. The official grabs his 15 Championship and makes his way around the ring, raising Stryker’s hand.
Melanie Sierra: Here is your winner… and STIIIILLLL the FGA 15 Champion… BRIIIIAN STRYYYYKER!
Stryker raises the title above his head, still a bit groggy as he walks away from the ring, allowing his hand to be raised by the official. He shoots a glance over his shoulder at Neon as she lies motionless in the ring before nodding a bit and continuing his trek up the ramp, slapping the outstretched hands of a few fans as he departs.
Geoff Penzer: Neon threw everything she had at Brian Stryker. Take nothing away from her. My personal opinions aside, you have to be proud of that performance, Chief.
Evan Envi: Yup.
Envi stands up, removing his headset as he leaves the commentary table. As Melanie Sierra exits the ring, Envi casually takes her microphone, rolling into the ring to an
”OOOOOOHH…” from the crowd. Stryker’s music fades and Envi watches him leave before turning his gaze toward Neon.
Evan Envi: You alright?
Envi makes his way toward his partner and kneels down, ignoring the boos from the audience as he pulls her into an embrace. Neon nods, saying someting to Envi that can’t be picked up. Envi places his hands on her cheeks, looking into her eyes with a small smile before he nods and stands up, holding onto one of Neon’s hands.
Evan Envi: Good. Because this is gonna hurt.
The audience erupts and Neon’s eyes narrow a bit, looking up toward the Chief. She clearly says “what?” and Envi lets go of her hand, leaving Neon seated in the middle of the ring while chants of
”YES!” echo throughout the Rupp Arena. Envi’s soft expression slowly fades. He lowers his arms, looking down at Neon, angling is head a bit. Neon shakes her head, her face shifting from confusion to anger before Envi takes a step back, raising the microphone again.
Evan Envi: I need to think about
me. So as much as it hurts me to do this…
Envi steps through the ropes and out to the apron as Neon rises to a knee, shaking her head, face caught somewhere between rage and sadness. Envi shrugs softly and sighs.
Evan Envi: You and me?
Bae?
Envi drops down from the apron.
Evan Envi: We’re finished.
”Ciao.”Envi drops the microphone and turns on his heel, earning a roar from the audience. Neon’s eyes are wide in the center of the ring, a hand on her cheek as she shakes her head slightly, an indistinguisable expression on her face as “Can You Feel It” hits the PA system.
Geoff Penzer: What just happened?!
Evan continues to walk up the ramp, fists clenched, refusing to look back. Neon looks completely lost in the center of the ring, mumbling under her breath as Envi disappears to the back. His music fades, leaving Neon alone… with boos continuing to rain down on the “Queen of Mean.”
Geoff Penzer: Neon, for the first time since entering FGA-- she’s alone! What does this mean for Envi going into tonight’s main event? What does this mean for Neon going forward? Wha-- what happened?!
Neon glares in each direction of the audience, body trembling, shaking her head as the boos continue to rain down until we fade away.
