Final Frontier: Night 1 (12.29.18)

[FGA Office]

FRONTIER LIONS CUP (SEMIFINALS)
Dom Harter vs. Evan Envi

The familiar, frantic instrumental slams into the PA system, drawing a near-unanimous chorus of boos from the crowd. Multi-colored strobes dance throughout the arena as the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” blares throughout the arena. Upon the first hint of vocals, Evan Envi steps through the curtains, onto the ramp, his signature jacket thrown on, hood pulled up over his head, slightly obscuring the view of his face. He takes a few steps forward, nodding a bit as Natalie McKinley steps out from the curtains behind him, arms crossed as she surveys the raucous crowd.

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE fall and it is a Semifinal match in the Frontier Lions Cup! Introducing first, from Ocean City, Maryland! Weighing in at 204 pounds! He is the “Chief”, EVAAAAAN ENVVVVIIIII!!!

Evan pulls his hood back, sneering out into the audience before walking forward, raising his signature Double V’s high into the air, glaring toward the ring as he makes his way down the ramp. Envi climbs the stairs and finally lowers his arms as he climbs the ropes near the turnbuckles as if walking a staircase, standing at the top as he unzips his jacket, mouthing off at the audience nearest him. Envi tosses his jacket to McKinley who catches it with ease as she walks the apron. Envi leaps from the top rope down into the ring, kissing the tips of his fingers before raising them high into the air in double presidential peace-signs, eyes closed, head tilted back in the center of the ring, seemingly unmoved by the jeers raining down on him while McKinley glares, unmoving into the hard camera. Evan opens his eyes and smirks, conversing with Natalie in the corner as he awaits action and the lights return to normal.

Kris Cruise: We are back with our second semifinal match of the evening as Evan Envi goes one on one with Dom Harter. But if you ask me, Stephy, it should be Fujiko Mine against Dom Harter right now!

Stephy Auger: Well, good thing nobody asked you!

Kris Cruise: Come on, Stephy! Even you have to admit that Fujiko was robbed earlier tonight.

Stephy Auger: Uh, no I don’t! It’s not Evan Envi’s fault that Fujiko’s friend is a complete psychopath that decided to hit everything that moved.

Kris Cruise: That’s not what happened and you know it!

Stephy Auger: All I know is that Evan Envi advanced and she didn’t. Hey Cruise. Can You Feel It?… Can You Feel It?... CAN YOU FEEL IT!?

Kris Cruise: … feel what?

Stephy Auger: Fujiko’s momentum crashing to end 2018! HA HA HA!

Kris Cruise: You are unbelievable!

I THINK YOU’VE GOT A LOW SELF OPINION MAN
I SEE YOU STANDING ALL BY YOURSELF

The opening chords of “Low Self Opinion” begin to play throughout the arena as the crowd really, really begin to boo. After nearly twenty seconds or so, Dom Harter finally steps out from behind the curtain, and the boos only grow louder than before! The Tenacious Little Bastard throws his arms out to either side as he surveys the scene, soaking in the boos and the jeers. Slowly, Harter pulls the bandana down from over his face to reveal the ever familiar crooked grin plastered on his face, before posing with his arms out to the side again.

J.A. Aldridge: Introducing his opponent, from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 235 pounds! He is “The Tenacious Little Bastard”, DOMMMMMM HARRRRRTERRRRR!!!

Harter begins to stride down the aisle, nodding his head to the music as he pays little mind to the FGA fans. They continue booing though, as Harter climbs up the ring steps. He stops on the apron, wiping his feet before he climbs in through the middle rope; once inside the squared circle, Harter climbs up to the middle rope, and removes his leather jacket and bandana, ready for the match to start.

Kris Cruise: Dom Harter is just two wins away from completed his coveted Golden Slam. But he’s got to get past last year’s Frontier Lions Cup winner!

Stephy Auger: Both of this great competitors are trying to make history, Cruise. Either way, I think Vertigo is in good hands when one of them represents against Logan Alexander in the Finals.

Kris Cruise: Vertigo being represented by Dom Harter… or Evan Envi. Oh boy.

Stephy Auger: I know, right! I couldn’t think of two more upstanding gentlemen!

Kris Cruise: ...

The bell sounds as Harter darts across the ring and flattens Envi with a yakuza kick! The Tenacious Little Bastard continues to go to work on Envi as he delivers a Garvin Stomp to each limb before switching his focus to repeated stomps at the midsection. The Chief is heard groaning after each stomp. Harter reaches down, pulls up Envi, runs and slams him face-first into the top turnbuckle. After turning Envi around, Harter unleashes a series of shoulder thrusts that double him over. He then takes Envi and sends him into the far corner with an irish whip. Harter charges across the ring, hurls himself at Envi and connects with a double knee lift in the corner! After sending Envi back into the opposite corner with another irish whip, Harter runs across the ring and connects with another double running knee lift! Harter follows up with a series of knee strikes to the midsection that double Envi over. Harter pulls Envi out of the corner, scoops him up across his shoulders, turns and delivers a running powerslam in the center of the ring! He hooks the leg.

Kris Cruise: ...

Harter pulls up Envi and doubles him over with a knee to the midsection. The Tenacious Little Bastard then turns and heads into the ropes. When Harter returns, he knocks Envi upright with a running knee lift before turning him inside out with a lariat! The boos continue as he drops down and makes the cover.

Envi gets his shoulder up.

Harter pulls up Envi and whips him into the ropes. When Envi returns, Harter nails him with a hard knee thrust to the midsection, doubling him over. Envi stumbles back a few steps before dropping down to a knee. He then grabs a hold of Envi before tossing him through the ropes and to the apron. As Envi pulls himself up, Harter heads over and delivers the Cutter Boi (slingshot cutter) onto the apron! The Chief bounces off the apron before crumbling to the floor.

Kris Cruise: Did you see that? Harter just delivered a cutter...

Stephy Auger: … onto “the hardest part of the ring”. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know, Cruise! We know!

The Tenacious Little Bastard rolls back inside as he waits for the referee to count him.

Kris Cruise: Harter is content with advancing on a countout!

Kris Cruise: Dom Harter… TAKES IT TO THE AIR!? What on Earth!?

Stephy Auger: History is on the line here, Cruise! The Tenacious Little Bastard is going to pull out all the stops!

Harter picks up Envi and rolls him back inside. After rolling back in, he makes the cover.

.
.

.
.
T-NO!

Envi gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Good ring presence there by Harter has well. He made Envi exert more energy into that kickout.

Harter picks up Envi, applies a front facelock, hooks the leg, lifts him up and plants him with a Fisherman Buster! While Envi is sprawled out on the mat, Harter returns to his feet and gives Envi repeated gentle kicks to the side of the head while asking him, “you dead?” Harter reaches down, pulls Envi up to a seated position and nails him with a hard soccer kick to the back. A loud thud can be heard when Harter gives Envi another kick to the small of the back. The Tenacious Little Bastard reaches down and pats Envi on the head before turning to run into the far ropes. When Harter returns, he fattens Envi with a sliding lariat! He reaches over and makes the cover.

ONE!

.
TWO!
.
.
T-NO!

Envi gets his shoulder up.

Harter pulls up Envi to his feet. The Tenacious Little Bastard poses with his arm out before taking Envi and shoving him into the ropes. When Envi returns, Harter hoists him up for the Fuckboi Bomb MK I. But on the way down, Envi counters with a dropkick to the face!

Kris Cruise: Not so fast!

Stephy Auger: A dropkick right to the perfectly sculpted face of Dom Harter!

Envi slowly gets up on all fours while Harter can be seen touching his face and pulling it back to see if blood was drawn. The New Murder member slowly returns to a vertical base. He marches over, pulls Envi up by the back of the tights and spins him out. The Chief greets Harter with a European Uppercut. Harter motions for a European Uppercut of his own, but Envi cuts him off with a knife edge chop to the side of the neck. He then hits Harter with a forearm strike. Harter returns the favor with a forearm smash. Envi then delivers another forearm strike. Harter answers back with another forearm smash of his own. They then hit each other simultaneously with three forearms. Envi throws out a fourth when Harter ducks and counters with a European Uppercut. He then steps back and nails Envi with a hard kick to the midsection. The kick causes the Chief to double over before immediately dropping down on all fours. Harter positions himself behind Envi, reaches down and pulls him up off the mat. The Tenacious Little Bastard then spins Envi out in front of him before cracking him across the face with a ripcord headbutt! While Envi is dazed, Harter turns and runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he throws out a discus forearm smash! Harter whiffs when Envi ducks and runs into the ropes. When Envi returns, he sees Harter running past him and into the ropes. So he stops. When Harter hits the ropes and comes back, Envi knocks him off his feet with a Kapowski Kick (standing spinning heel kick)!

Kris Cruise: Envi connects with the Kapowski Kick! That could be the momentum shifter right there!

Envi tries to pick himself off the mat while Harter remains sprawled out on the canvas. The Chief crawls over and eventually pulls himself up using the ropes. He then steps backwards before turning and reaching down to grab Harter. Envi pulls him back to his feet before turning and chucking him through the ropes and onto the apron. Envi steps out onto the apron and puts the boots to Harter. After Harter is pulled back to his feet, he socks Envi with a punch to the face. Envi comes back with an open hand strike. Harter delivers a European Uppercut. Envi comes back with a European Uppercut of his own. Harter comes back with a forearm smash. Envi answers with a forearm of his own. Harter comes back with another forearm smash. Envi shakes off the blow before answering with another forearm of his own. Harter comes back with another for-NO! Envi cuts him off with a kick to the midsection and quickly follows up with The Blues (Snap Double Arm DDT) on the apron!!!

Kris Cruise: Harter just got driven face-first onto the apron!

Stephy Auger: He might be out cold!

Harter slowly falls off the apron and lands on the floor. Envi goes over and grabs a hold of him. After slowly pulling Harter up from off the floor, Envi quickly rams him back-first against the side of the ring. He pulls Harter back, only to ram him back-first against the side of the ring again. He then leans forward and slowly lifts Harter up onto his shoulders… then swings down hard, delivering an Alabama Slam across the edge of the apron! The Tenacious Little Bastard howls in pain as he bounces off the edge of the apron before crumbling to the floor. Envi then rolls himself back inside and frantically points to the outside to signal to the ref to keep counting!

Kris Cruise: Now Envi’s trying to sneak by to the Finals via countout!

Stephy Auger:

SIX!






SEVEN!






EIGHT!






NINE!





TE-

The crowd sighs, then boos when Harter rolls back in just in time to beat the count. The Chief clutches his midsection as he slowly sits up. His eyes widen with shock as he looks over and sees Harter inside the ring. Envi gets to his march, marches over and stomps Harter out of the ring and back to the floor. He once again points to the outside and tells the ref to keep counting.

THREE!






FOUR!






FIVE!






SIX!

Harter slowly turns over and gets up on a knee. As Harter starts to get back to a vertical base, Envi turns and runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he lunges through the ropes and knocks Harter down with a suicide European Uppercut! Envi slowly turns over into the prone position before picking himself up onto his knee. Once he gets back to his feet, he slowly rolls back inside. When Envi gets up to his knee, he does a double take as he looks at the top turnbuckle. The Chief then rises to his feet before heading over into the corner.

Kris Cruise: Envi’s eyeing the top turnbuckle!

The fans begin to stand up row by row as Envi climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Once Harter gets up on the outside, the crow gasps when Envi flips off… and knocks him down with The Classics (Diving Moonsault)!!! Both grapplers are sprawled out on the outside.

Kris Cruise: Envi wipes out Harter on the floor!

Stephy Auger: But they’re both down! If they don’t answer the count, Logan Alexander will win the Frontier Lions Cup with a BYE!

Kris Cruise: Dom Harter and Malcolm Drake won the first Dynamic Duos because of a Bye in the other Semifinals. Talk about karma!

Stephy Auger: No, I’d rather just ignore Johnny Karma and Cherry Baum, thank you very much.

Kris Cruise: ...

While Harter is still down on the floor, Envi starts to turn over on all fours. The ref can be seen still counting them out.

Envi crawls over, pulls himself up onto the apron and rolls himself back inside. While Envi lays on his back in the ring, the ref continues to count.

He looks over and sees Harter slowly pushing himself up on all fours. Envi narrows his eyes at The Tenacious Little Bastard. Harter looks over and sees Envi on all fours.

But Envi slips down from behind, crosses Harter’s arms, applies a straight jacket choke and follows up with multiple kneeling backbreakers! While Harter is down on the mat, Envi gets back to his feet and heads out onto the apron. The Chief walks along the apron before climbing the turnbuckles. As soon as he reaches the top, he leaps off for a Frog Splash. Envi’s eyes widen with shock just as Harter gets his knees up!

Kris Cruise: harter blocks! Envi crashes down across Harter’s knees!

Stephy Auger: His ribs were already hurt! This isn’t helping!

Envi bounces off the knees before rolling across the ring. The Chief howls in pain while he guards his midsection with both arms. Harter slowly turns over onto his knees before pushing himself up to a vertical base. He heads over, picks up Harter and eyes the corner. The Tenacious Little Bastard hoists up Envi before heading over and delivering the Fuckboi Bomb MK II (Turnbuckle Powerbomb)! After Envi bounces off the turnbuckles, he staggers back over to Harter.

The crowd gasps when Envi gets his shoulder up.

Harter’s had enough. He pulls up Envi and pulls him into a standing headscissors.

Stephy Auger: It’s over, Cruise!

The crowd murmurs as Harter has Envi set up for the Last Exit (Lifting Double Underhook Piledriver). But before Harter can deliver the move, Envi breaks free, brings Harter down to the mat with a standing double leg and goes for a figure four leg lock. When Envi turns around, Harter uses his free leg to nail Harter with an upkick to the ribs. The Chief groans as he collapses to the mat. Harter gets back to his feet, picks up Envi and lifts him up across his shoulders. Harter looks for the Ushigoroshi. But Envi counters with elbows to the side of the head. He continues to hit Harter with elbows until he slips down from behind. He then turns and runs into the ropes. When Envi returns, Harter throws out a discus forearm smash. Envi stops, ducks, hooks Harter’s arm, lifts him up and throws him down with a Uragange! Envi clutches his midsection while Harter is sprawled out on the mat. The Chief steps backwards before turning and stepping out onto the apron.

Envi readies himself as he grabs a hold of the top rope with both hands. He gauges the distance between himself and Harter. The fans stand up as Envi springboards to the top turnbuckles, flips off… and crashes… on top of Harter with Helter Skelter!

Kris Cruise: Envi hits it!

Instead of making the cover, Envi bounces off of Harter. The Chief rolls over towards the ropes while he guards his midsection with both arms. Envi remains curled up while Harter remains on his back.

Envi looks over and sees Harter still sprawled out on the mat. While guarding his midsection with one arm, Envi uses his free arm to pull himself across the mat.

Stephy Auger: Dom’s got ‘em!

Boos can be heard throughout the arena while Harter cinches in the hold. The ref gets down and asks Envi if he wants to give up. But the Chief is unresponsive. Harter arches his back while the ref asks Envi again if he wants to give up. But he still doesn’t get a response from Envi. Ricky Valero can be seen rushing down to ringside.

Kris Cruise: What is he doing out here!?

A few paces behind him is Annie Zellor.

Stephy Auger: What is she doing out here!?

Just as the ref is going to lift up Envi’s arm, Valero climbs up onto the apron to yell at the official. Valero does a double take when Zellor climbs up onto the apron beside him. The two begin to argue as the ref turns his attention away from Harter/Envi towards the two of them.

Kris Cruise: These officials need to enforce their power. Once again we’re seeing interference come into play here!

Harter lets go of the hold as he goes over and argues with Valero. The Tenacious Little Bastard notices Valero quickly looking behind him. So Harter takes a few steps back before turning towards Envi. The Chief tries to attack Harter. But Harter catches him with a kick between the legs!

Kris Cruise: OH NO!

HEADLINE
FGA UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
© Salem vs. Savannah Taylor

There was silence; the lights began to fade away slowly. A soft instrumental echoes out across the audience. It starts slowly, a beautiful sound that contrasts the heaviness of the world. Like feathers, it glides among the waiting audience. The lighting fixtures produce a gentle spotlight upon the stage, offset by the occasional flash here and there. As the song continues, a woman’s words begin to come through. Her voice is tender, not raising upon a whisper.

Deceived by my eyes and all I was told I should see
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be
One night in the dark, a vision of someone I knew
And in the darkness I saw, a voice say, I'm you.

On the stage, a feminine figure appears. Her head lowered to everything. People cannot make out who it is. As she stands there, the flashes briefly illuminate her figure. It only gives small clues on who stands at the gate. She stands in the spotlight, her shadow cast large and proudly among the stage.

Inside me a light was turned on…

The instrumental picks up again. An electric guitar now joins the progressively exciting instrumentals of before. The singer’s voice suddenly intensifies.

Then I was alive!

In the light, it is revealed that it was Savannah Taylor. She stands at the gate, a robe of obsidian and ivory hues. The hood of it shadows her eyes, but the intensity of the final EXODUS World Champion remains clear as day. She starts off down the ramp, with a serious aura radiating from her body.

Melanie Sierra: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the FGA UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challenger! From Las Vegas, Nevada! She is the “Las Vegas Siren”... SAVANNAH TAYLOR!

If you close your eyes your life,
A naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived,
And scars never healed

Savannah makes her way up the ring steps. She looks out towards the audience for a moment before entering the ring. From there, she heads for a turnbuckle. She stands there, taking in everything. She then lifts her up on top of it. She peers out in nothing, then takes off the hood with a flashy flourish. Her blonde locks fly up in the air. They descend, shaping her face as they famously do.

In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
You'll find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

While she stands in her corner, she closes her eyes and takes a heavy breath. When her bright eyes open, Taylor is completely composed. There is nothing more than the heat of battle awaiting her. She takes off her robe, giving it to a stagehand. She stretches her wrists before devoting her mind to the war upon the horizon.

"I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too!"

The funky drum beat and riff of 'Phenomena' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fills the arena and the quirky yet energetic Salem appears at the entrance wearing a hooded dark purple cloak with silver trim, the hood pulled over her eyes. She carries a silver cane, the top a silver claw gripping a dark purple crystal that has a plasma globe effect. She's tapping her foot and bopping her head to the beat, showing off the shiny title belt around her waist...

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

Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Laval, Quebec, Canada! She is the reigning and defending FGA United States Champion! She is “Something Like a Phenomena”, SALEM!

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

She slides through the ropes, twirls off her cloak with a flourish and drops to a knee in the center of the ring placing the belt down in front of her, extending her arms out holding up the cane and playing to the crowd as the music fades. She hands the title belt to the referee and takes the cloak and cane to the corner, ready for the match.

Geoff Penzer: The issue between these two goes back several years. It was two years ago at the Five Year Anniversary Show where Salem, then going by the name Salem Cartier, defeated Savannah Taylor. Fast forward to this past winter during the Rey del Aire tournament where Taylor defeated Salem, then going by the name Salem Kaiser, by hooking her tights. Salem was able to capture the United States Championship back in September by defeating both the former champion and Brookford at Above and Beyond Six. Now, Salem and Savannah look to settle the score once and for all. It’s Salem and Taylor for the United States Championship!

The bell sounds as Salem and Taylor meet up in the center of the ring. The two begin to mouth off at each other until Taylor strikes first with a right hand.!The crowd cheers when Salem answers back with a punch of her own! The cheers turn to boos when Taylor strikes back with another right hand! The boos switch back to cheers when Salem connects with another right hand! Salem then nails Taylor with another right hand… and another...and another! Salem then takes Taylor and whips her into the ropes. When Taylor returns, the crowd boos when she tackles Salem down with a Lou Thesz Press! She then mounts herself on top of Salem and rains down right hands to the face! The boos turn back to cheers when Salem rolls over, mounts on top of Taylor and rains down right hands of her own! She then pulls Taylor up by the hair, runs and flings her across the ring. The US Champion marches over, grabs Taylor, runs and flings her across the ring by the hair again! After bouncing off her back, Taylor slowly turns over onto her knees. As she gets back to a vertical base, Salem runs across the ring and sends her flipping down to the canvas with a kitchen sink! She drops down and makes the cover.

ONE!

But Taylor ducks and dumps her over the top rope. After Salem lands safely on the apron, Taylor throws out the Ultimecia (spinning backfist). But Salem ducks and counters with a shoulder thrust. While Taylor is doubled over, Salem slingshots herself into the ring and brings Taylor down with a sunset flip! But Taylor rolls through it, grabs Salem by the ankle and drags her back towards the center of the ring. The crowd gasps and boos when Taylor looks to set Salem up for the Heartless Angel (Stretch Muffler)! But Salem is able to counter by using her free leg to kick Taylor off of her. As Salem scrambles back to a vertical abse, Taylor marches over and doubles her over with three kicks to the midsection. She then takes the champ and whips her into the corner. Taylor rushes in to attack when Salem knocks her back with a back elbow. While Taylor is dazed, the crowd gasps and cheers when Salem runs out of the corner and throws out the New Hampshire Handshake (high velocity leaping elbow strike)!!! But Taylor rolls underneath it. Once Salem lands on her feet and turns around, Taylor throws out a roundhouse kick. But Salem ducks. She then throws out a roundhouse kick of her own, which Taylor ducks. After a kick to the midsection doubles Salem over, Taylor hoists her up for a brainbuster. But Salem’s able to slip down from behind. She then grabs Taylor from behind, tuns and chucks her through the ropes and to the floor!

A win here tonight would make her a three-time United States Champion. Only two other competitors here in FGA’s history have won a single title on three separate occasions.

While Salem is still down, Taylor returns to her feet and delivers multiple stomps before stepping back out onto the apron. She then scales to the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Las Vegas Siren leaps off for a Frog Splash. But the boos turn to cheers when Taylor crashes down across Salem’s knees!!

Geoff Penzer: Salem blocked it! She got the knees up!

Taylor struggles to get back to her feet. She guards her midsection as she slowly returns to a vertical base. Salem then comes from behind, crosses her arms and brings her down with a bridging X-Plex! The ref slides into place for the cover.

ONE!

Taylor slips out.

Salem picks up Taylor and whips her into the ropes. When Taylor returns, Salem sends her flipping down to the canvas with another kitchen sink. Salem then follows up with a standing moonsault senton! She turns over into a lateral press.

Once Salem lands on her feet, Taylor catches her with the Ultimecia! The boos continues as she grabs Salem and brings her back inside with a vertical suplex. Taylor pulls Salem back to her feet, grabs her from the size and drives her down with Blonde Ambition (forward russian legsweep)! She then pushes Salem over and makes the cover.

The cheers continue as Salem pulls up Taylor, grabs her and throws her out of the corner with a standard Exploder Suplex! She then steps out onto the apron and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Once Taylor picks herself up off the mat, Salem leaps off and connects with a missile dropkick to the back of the head, knocking Taylor down! Taylor struggles to push herself up off the mat while Salem heads into the ropes. Once Salem returns, she brings Taylor down with a somersault cutter! The cheers continue as Salem slowly pulls Taylor up off the mat. After lifting her up across her shoulders, Salem delivers the Ushigoroshi! Salem heads into the corner and begins waving up Taylor. Salem’s waves get more frantic the closer Taylor gets to returning to a vertical base. As a groggy Taylor gets back to her feet, Salem throws up the Devil Horns. When Taylor turns around, Salem runs from out of the corner, leaps up and strikes her down with the New Hampshire Handshake to an explosion of cheers!!! Salem makes the cover.

The cheers continue as Salem gets handed her United States Championship. The Witch celebrates by climbing the ropes and raising her title in the air.

[FGA Office]

Kris Cruise: What a hard fought match we just witnessed between two of Flashpoint’s best. Salem was able to successfully defend her United States Championship by beating the Las Vegas Siren, Savannah Taylor. Taylor was denied her chance at history here tonight. But will Evan Envi be denied as well? Envi is looking to become not just the first two-time Frontier Lions Cup winner. But he’s also looking to become the first person to win the tournament back to back.

Geoff Penzer: Standing across the ring from him will be none other than Logan Alexander. Chaos Stryke has caused nothing but chaos throughout the Flashpoint half of the bracket. Ashlyn De Luca. Johnny Karma. Cassius Reed. Ashley Sullivan. That’s a who’s who of stars not just over here on Flashpoint, but in FGA in general. Alexander can cap off this run by defeating last year’s winner and cementing his place as the 2018 Frontier Lions Cup winner.

Stephy Auger: But what about tomorrow night? The Chaotics will be waging war with the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad. There’s no love lost between those two teams. That’s number one. Number two, The Chaotics’ tag titles will be on the line. But most important of all, Hadley’s job is on the line!

Geoff Penzer: That’s right. If The Chaotics retain their titles tomorrow night, Hadley Herrera will be fired as Flashpoint General Manager. Dan Herrera and Peaches were going to fight like hell, anyway, to become two-time Tag Champions. But with Hadley’s job on the line? That’s extra motivation to give The Chaotics 110%.

Kris Cruise: Will Alexander be at 100% tomorrow night, regardless of what happens in the Finals? I don’t mean to bring up age because Alexander has proven in this tournament that he can go with the best of them. But Alexander brought it up himself earlier. These guys are younger and faster and even stronger than him. Can his body keep up? Will Ashlyn De Luca have to carry the load tomorrow night?

Stephy Auger: I think she absolutely has to. You brought up what Logan said earlier about age. But he also brought up the thought of a deep run in this tournament possibly affecting his team’s chances at retaining their titles tomorrow night. You saw the conflict written all over his face.

Geoff Penzer: It’s interesting when you look back at where both of our finalists were this time last year. The Chaotics were the World Tag Team Champions in their first reign. They were universally loved coming off the heels of winning the 2017 Dynamic Duos Tag team Tournament. You had Evan Envi who was picked dead last in the 2017 Brand Extension Draft. To see him come back from that, battle through this tournament last year and win. Everyone was solidly behind him. He was someone that you could root for. Fast forward to today and Evan Envi is universally despised. He’s hated more than Dom Harter, which is no small feat. Then there are The Chaotics, who have been far from fan favorites. You had Logan Alexander’s issues within The Chaotics where he felt he wasn’t worthy of even carrying his half of the tag titles after they won it back from Smart Style. You have to think back to when Alexander nearly single handedly sabotaged the Eight Team Interbrand Tag Match at All-Star Showdown Seven. Then you think about their issues with Hadley Herrera and those feelings of resentment and animosity than have brought us here today. The FGA faithful don’t have a lot of goodwill towards De Luca. But I can tell that Alexander is winning this crowd over with his performances over the last few weeks. Then you look back across the ring at Envi. First he loses the Undisputed Championship match to Karma at Grapple Kingdom 2. Then he gets the rematch and essentially steals the title from Karma. Evan Envi and Ricky Valero immediately jump ship to Vertigo, making the Undisputed Championship brand exclusive and taking the brand war to the next level. After losing the now World Championship to Jimmy Page, Envi has weaseled his way back to this point. There’s a lot riding on this FLC Finals.

Kris Cruise: I personally cannot wait. So let’s not waste anymore time. Coming up next, it is the finals of the 2018 Frontier Lions up. Envi Envi, representing Vertigo will take on Flashpoint’s own Logan Alexander!

MAIN EVENT
FRONTIER LIONS CUP (FINALS)
Evan Envi vs. Logan Alexander

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall! It is your MAIN EVENT of the evening and it is the FINALS of the Frontier Lions Cup!

“Endless Possibility” begins to play through the arena. Partway through the instrumental opening of the song, Logan makes his way out from the entryway. He then pauses at the top of the ramp to survey the crowd before making his way down to the ring, ignoring the fans on either side of him.

Once he reaches the ringside area, Logan makes his way over to the closest set of ring steps and climbs up to the ring apron. He climbs between the top and middle ropes and enters the ring. He moves towards the far side of the ring, stopping in front of the ropes and spreads his arms wide to either side of him as he looks out across the crowd.

Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 227 pounds… LOGAAAANNNN ALEXXXXANNNNDERRRRRR!!!

He then turns away and heads to another side of the ring, repeating his actions there, and continuing until he’s been to all four sides of the ring.

Logan then turns away and walks back over to the side of the ring closest to the timekeeper’s area. He removes his sunglasses and tucks them into a pocket of his jacket. He then unfastens and removes his jacket before passing it through the ropes to a technician at ringside. He turns away and moves over to one corner of the ring, away from the entryway, and leans back against the turnbuckles as he awaits the arrival of his opponent.

The familiar, frantic instrumental slams into the PA system, drawing a near-unanimous chorus of boos from the crowd. Multi-colored strobes dance throughout the arena as the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” blares throughout the arena. Upon the first hint of vocals, Evan Envi steps through the curtains, onto the ramp, his signature jacket thrown on, hood pulled up over his head, slightly obscuring the view of his face. He takes a few steps forward, nodding a bit as Natalie McKinley steps out from the curtains behind him, arms crossed as she surveys the raucous crowd.

J.A. Aldridge: Introducing his opponent, from Ocean City, Maryland! Weighing in at 204 pounds! He is the “Chief”, EVAAANNNNN ENNNNNVIIIIII!!!

Evan pulls his hood back, sneering out into the audience before walking forward, raising his signature Double V’s high into the air, glaring toward the ring as he makes his way down the ramp. Envi climbs the stairs and finally lowers his arms as he climbs the ropes near the turnbuckles as if walking a staircase, standing at the top as he unzips his jacket, mouthing off at the audience nearest him. Envi tosses his jacket to McKinley who catches it with ease as she walks the apron. Envi leaps from the top rope down into the ring, kissing the tips of his fingers before raising them high into the air in double presidential peace-signs, eyes closed, head tilted back in the center of the ring, seemingly unmoved by the jeers raining down on him while McKinley glares, unmoving into the hard camera. Evan opens his eyes and smirks, conversing with Natalie in the corner as he awaits action and the lights return to normal.

The bell sounds as the referee heads to the side of the ring, points to Ricky Valero & Natalie McKinley and throws them from ringside.

Stephy Auger: Woah woah woah!

Geoff Penzer: Yeah!

Envi heads over and tries to reason with the official. But he’s seen enough of out of Valero all night and he knows exactly what McKinley is capable of. Valero climbs up onto the apron and begins shouting at the ref. But the official just points to the back.

Kris Cruise: This official has seen enough outside interference here tonight. He doesn’t want the FLC Finals to be muddied with outside interference.

Stephy Auger: This is an outrage! Our Chief needs Nat and Richard there for emotional support!

Additional officials make their way down to the back. One of them grabs McKinley by the arm. McKinley turns, swats his hands off of her and grabs him by his shirt collar. But before she does anything, she reconsiders and lets him go. McKinley and Valero reluctantly leave the ringside area while being flanked by the extra officials. Back in the ring, Envi slowly turns around and looks across the ring.
Geoff Penzer: Envi’s going to have to win this all on his own!

Stephy Auger: He’s done it before, he’ll do it again… right?

Alexander slowly makes his way over towards the corner. Envi is able to slip out of the corner and circle away from Alexander. Chaos Stryke continues to try and close the distance. He reaches out to grab a hold of Envi with each hand. But Envi continues to keep just out of arm’s reach. The FGA World Tag Team Champion then lunges forward, grabs a hold of Envi and moves him against the ropes. The ref is quick to head over and initiate a rope break.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Envi remains causes as Alexander slowly stands up. He then quickly tries to go back down for a shoulder thrust, but Envi catches him with a knee to the face. He then switches positions, presses Alexander up against the ropes and unleashes a series of alternating knife edge chops and European Uppercuts. Envi “WOOOO”s between each strike. After the series of strikes is completed, Alexander quickly grabs Envi, tosses him up against the ropes and doubles him over with a hard shoulder thrust. He then takes the Chief and whips him into the far ropes. When Envi returns, Alexander brings him down with a drop toe hold. The crowd gasps when Alexander tries to immediately wrap Envi up in the Perfect Chaos Theory (Edgecator version). But Envi is able to slither over and grab the ropes, forcing a rope break.

Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…

Alexander lets go of Envi and backs away from him. The Chief then pulls himself up using the ropes before turning to face his opponent. Both grapplers circle the ring. They move forward to lock up when Alexander doubles Envi over with a kick to the gut. He quickly follows up with a snap suplex. He quickly turns over into a lateral press.

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

Alexander pulls up Envi and whips him into the ropes. When Envi returns, Alexander lifts him up and delivers an inverted atomic drop. He follows up with a russian leg sweep. Alexander pulls Envi back up, scoops him up from the side and delivers a pendulum backbreaker. He then heads into the corner, climbs up onto the middle ropes and delivers an elbow drop. The crowd gasps when Alexander drag Envi back towards the center of the ring to apply the Perfect Chaos Theory (Sharpshooter version). But Envi uses the strength in his legs to shove Alexander off of him and back into the corner. As Envi gets back to a vertical base, Alexander runs from out of the corner and throws him down with the Chaotic Impact! He makes the cover.

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

Kris Cruise: This match has been all Alexander thus far.

Geoff Penzer: He's worked hard to get this far. He isn’t about to roll over for Evan Envi, no matter how much respect is there between these two.

Alexander pulls up Envi and goes for a belly to back suplex. But Envi rolls over his shoulder and lands on his feet. When Alexander turns around, Envi goes to greet him with a superkick. But Alexander catches his foot. He then swings the leg away from him, grabs Envi from behind and hoists him up for a release German Suplex. But Envi is somehow able to rotate and land on his fee!. As Alexander scrambles back to his feet, Envi rushes over and delivers a step-up hurricanrana, sending Chaos Stryke through the ropes and to the floor.

While Alexander picks himself up on the outside, Envi turns and runs into the ropes. When Envi comes back, he leaps through the ropes and goes for a suicide European Uppercut… but Alexander slips out of the way, causing Envi to crash on the outside to cheers from the crowd! Alexander goes over, picks up Envi and pulls him into a front facelock to set up the Chaotic Shockwave. But before Alexander can lift him up, Envi counters by ramming Alexander back-first against the side of the ring! He then pulls Alexander away from the ring and goes to lift him up for an Alabama Slam (likely across the edge of the apron). But Alexander counters with clubbing strikes to the back. He then brings Envi down with a swinging neckbreaker.

Kris Cruise: Good counter there from Alexander.

Stephy Auger: If Envi hit that Alabama Slam across the edge, it would have broken him in half.

Alexander pulls Envi up and rolls him back in. As Alexander climbs up onto the apron, Envi scrambles back to his feet, lunges forward and doubles him over with a shoulder thrust through the ropes. He then takes Alexander and goes to bring him back inside with a vertical suplex. But Alexander slips out from behind and immediately slaps on a Revised Chaos Theory (rear naked choke). The cheers continue as Envi flails his arms as Alexander drops down to his back and applies the bodyscissors!

Kris Cruise: Envi’s trapped! This one could be over right here!

Stephy Auger: Quick Envi, get out! Do something!

The ref gets down and asks Envi if he wants to give up. When Envi refuses, Alexander cinches in the hold. Envi tries to unwrap Alexander’s legs from around his waist. But it’s to no avail. He then reaches up and tries to pull Alexander’s arm from around his neck. But he has no luck there, either. Envi then lifts his top leg over on top of Alexander’s feet. Envi presses down with the leg, causing Alexander to howl in pain as an immense amount of pain is put on the ankle. Chaos Stryke quickly breaks the hold.

Stephy Auger: YES!

Geoff Penzer: Great counter there from Envi1

Both grapplers tries to get back to their feet. Envi beats Alexander to a vertical base. He quickly reaches over, grabs Alexander by the leg and drags him towards the center of the ring before applying a standing ankle lock.

Kris Cruise: Envi with a submission of his own now.

The ref gets down and asks Alexander if he wants to give up. When Alexander refuses, Envi begins cranking away on the ankle. Chaos Stryke can be seen with a look on anguish on his face. The ref asks him if he wants to give up. Alexander continues to shake the ref off. He groans as Envi slowly turns his ankle in the opposite direction. After pushing himself up onto his hands and his knee, Alexander slowly plants his palms down on the mat. He then rolls forward, breaking the hold and sending Envi staggering into the corner. After smacking his face against the top turnbuckle, Envi stumbles backwards towards the center of the ring. Alexander gets to his feet and pulls Envi down into a schoolboy...

The Chief returns to his feet before bouncing into the ropes. When he returns, he brings Alexander down with a running cutter! Envi grabs Alexander and pulls him back up onto his knee. Envi side steps before blasting Alexander with a shoot kick to the chest. The Chief sizes Alexander up before blasting him across the chest with another shoot kick to the chest.

Alexander quickly ducks, jumps back up to his feet, grabs Envi from behind and brings him down with a pair of rolling Germans for the Chaotic Repeater!

Envi gets his foot on the bottom rope.

Stephy Auger: Phew!

Kris Cruise: Great ring awareness there by Envi!

Geoff Penzer: I’m surprised he even knocks where he is after taking all of those suplexes.

As Alexander slowly picks up Envi, Envi ducks and dumps him over the top rope and onto the apron. As Alexander picks himself up on the apron, Envi runs towards the corner and connects with a triangle enzuigiri, knocking Alexander off the apron and to the floor! Chaos Stryke can be seen shaking out the cobwebs on the outside. Back in the ring, Envi starts to pick himself up off the mat. When Alexander begins to get back to a vertical base, Envi turns and runs into the far ropes. When Envi comes back, the crowd boos when he leaps through the ropes and connects with a suicide European Uppercut! The move knocks Alexander back and causes him to roll across the announce table.

Kris Cruise: LOOK OUT!

Envi picks himself up and sees where Alexander is. The Chief slowly turns and looks up at the top rope before turning to look back down at Alexander. Envi nods before rolling himself back into the ring.

Geoff Penzer: What’s Envi going for here!?

Stephy Auger: You know exactly what he’s going for!


Envi gets back to his feet and grabs the top rope with both hands. After springboarding to the top rope, the crowd gasps as Envi leaps off… and crashes through the announce table with a Frog Splash on Alexander!!!

Stephy Auger: GAH!!!

HOLY SHIT!

HOLY SHIT!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!

Kris Cruise: EVAN ENVI JUST HIT THE FROG SPLASH THROUGH THE TABLE ON LOGAN ALEXANDER!

Geoff Penzer: THEY BOTH LOOK LIKE THEY’RE OUT!

The ref immediately heads to the outside and checks on both grapplers. Alexander is down on his back while Envi is still down on top of him. Envi begins to stir before rolling off of Alexander and turning onto his back. Envi slowly sits up and guards his midsection. Once he gets back to a vertical base, he grabs Alexander and drags him towards the side of the ring. Envi slowly pulls Alexander up before rolling him back inside. After pulling himself up onto the apron using the ropes, Envi begins to scale the turnbuckles. The crowd returns to their feet once Envi reaches the top. The Chief flips off for Helter Skelter…

… the crowd gasps as Alexander rolls out of the way…











… but Envi is able to land on his feet!


His momentum quickly sends him rolling forward. When Envi rolls back to his feet and turns around, Alexander charges forward and hurls himself at Envi for a spear. But Envi spins out of the way and shoves Alexander forward, sending him crashing shoulder-frist into the ring post! The thud from the impact can be heard throughout the arena.

Geoff Penzer: Oh no!

Alexander stumbles back towards the center of the ring. Before he can turn around, the crowd erupts with boos when Envi brings him down from behind with the Backpack Attack (single knee lungblower rolled into a crossface)!

Stephy Auger: IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER! The old man mind as well tap out and save what little he has left for tomorrow night!

The ref gets down and asks Alexander if he wants to give up. When Alexander refuses, Envi pulls back on the hold. Alexander can be heard groaning after the increase in pressure being applied. Envi nods his head feverishly as he wants Alexander to tap. But Alexander continues to shake off the referee. Envi stays focused. He doesn’t get deterred. The Chief continues to fight for the submission. But Alexander is fighting equally as hard to stay in this match and fight through the pain. The ref asks Alexander once more if he wants to give up. Alexander doesn’t respond. The ref quickly asks him again. Still no response from Alexander. He’s not passed out. Alexander raises his hand off the mat. Envi’s eyes widen. He thinks he’s seconds away from becoming not just the first ever back-to-back Frontier Lions Cup winner, but the only one to win the tournament twice. Envi’s hopes are soon crushed when Alexander wags his finger at the official! Frustrated, Envi starts yanking back hard on the hold.

Kris Cruise: Logan Alexander is still in this fight!

Stephy Auger: Dammit!

Envi continues to yank away before settling on a position and pulling back. The ref checks in with Alexander once more. But more again, Alexander turns down the opportunity to quit. The crowd gasps when Alexander puts his free arm down and starts to slowly pull himself towards the side of the ring. Chaos Stryke groans with each movement he makes across the mat. Alexander continues his trek towards the ropes. Envi grits his teeth as he pulls back as hard as he can. But Alexander will not be denied. He continues to slowly scratch and claw his way across the ring. Envi is shaking his head in disbelief. Alexander is about to reach out for the ropes. He throws his hand out towards the ropes. But he’s not quite there. Envi repeatedly yanks back on the hold while settling for a position. Alexander grunts as he continues to pull himself towards the side of the ring. He reaches out for the ropes. Just as he’s about to grab one of the ropes, Envi places his foot on the bottom rope and pushes off, sending both grapplers rolling backwards on the canvas. Envi’s got the headlock applied. He tries to quickly trap Alexander’s arm between his legs. But Alexander scrambles back to his feet, grabs a hold of Envi and dumps him on his head with a backdrop suplex to an explosion of cheers!

Stephy Auger: GAH!

Geoff Penzer: Envi’s down! ENVI’S DOWN!

Envi lays curled up and clutches his head while Alexander stirs on the mat. The FGA World Tag Team Champion slowly turns over on all fours before returning to a vertical base. He steps backwards against the ropes and eyes Envi. He continues to size up the Chief while Envi turns over on all fours. As Envi gets back to his feet and turns around, Alexander runs across the ring and motions for a spear. At the last second, Envi counters with a knee lift to the face. He quickly hooks Alexander’s arms before planting him with The Blues! He turns over and makes the cover.

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

The crowd gasps when Alexander gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: It’s not over!

Envi turns over and grabs Alexander. After slowly pulling him back up, Envi positions him for a Sambo Suplex. Alexander ends up countering with elbows to the side of the head. While Envi is stunned, Alexander turns and heads towards the ropes. As soon as Alexander hits the ropes, Envi nails him with a running European Uppercut. He then bashes Alexander with a forearm strike for good measure. While Alexander is dazed, Envi turns and runs into the far ropes. When he comes back, Alexander ducks and dumps Envi over the top rope. Instead of crashing to the floor, Envi lands on his feet. He then takes a swipe at Alexander. But Alexander ducks and counters with a palm thrust. He then steps back and rocks Envi with a superkick. While Envi is dazed, Alexander turns and heads into the ropes. When he comes back, the crowd explodes with cheers when he lunges forward and spears Envi through the ropes, knocking him off the apron and sending them both crashing hard to the floor!



Stephy Auger: GAAAAHHHHH!!!

Geoff Penzer: ALEXANDER WITH THE SPEAE OFF THE APRON!

Kris Cruise: That might have been the knockout blow right there!

Geoff Penzer: I mean, ye-

The referee gets down and raises Envi’s arm in victory. Ricky Valero and Natalie McKinley make their way down to the ring. When they get in, Valero shoos the referee away from them. McKinley grabs Envi by the wrist and raises his arm aggressively. This causes Envi to howl in pain before clutching his ribs. Valero can be seen patting Envi on the back as he eyes McKinley. While Valero rubs Envi’s back, McKinley receives the FLC trophy from the official. McKinley then puts the trophy down in front of Envi. The Chief kneels down and kisses the trophy as blue and white ticker tape falls from the rafters. Envi continues to pose with the trophy as the event fades out...
