Congrats, @ck. T'was a hard fought match. The record book might show a W by your name on this night, but I beat myself; you didn't beat me.

Favorite parts include me Joker-ing @ck to start, no-selling a low blow because SPOILER I don't actually have any testicles, and @ck proving he really does care about my wellbeing deep down... As he sanitized my wounds not once but TWICE during the match.

In KJ We Trust

[A metal cover of ‘Game Over’ by Alexa Vega plays, and there is no pyro. KJ, Holzhammer, and Ness walk down to the ring. KJ is wearing a suit as he did in the past when he was the General Manager.]

KJ: Tonight begins the road to the end. Last night, at Chiaroscuro, we saw the contrast between light and darkness. We saw one of the most violent matches in the history of FFCW, and while all of the former administrations declarations are null and void under me, I don’t think we CAN ever see PI again. That was certainly a dark moment. However, before that, light was restored in FFCW. Goodness was restored. I rose to power again, and I will make sure this company gets the ending it deserves. I will make sure it stays dead this time.

My plans were to pull the plug this morning, but I got a legal notice that I’m contractually obligated to put on three more pay per view events, and I must fulfill all television obligations leading up to that, which is fine. We’re going to do things my way though. Last night, you witnessed one of the most gratuitously violent matches ever. My job now is to top that. Your next event will be ‘The Right to Remain Violent’. Every match will be violent. Every match will have a stipulation.

Another thing I need to address from last night is bad officiating. The ending of the Sub-Forum Championship Match was ridiculous. System and WMVP will have a rematch tonight, and that referee has been fired.

Now, I’d like to invite the Legacy out to the ring.

Mathews: The Legacy? What could this be about?

Heyman: Hard to say. I’m just happy to have a competent General Manager again.

[The crowd pops as Princes of the Universe plays. PB and WP make their way down to the ring.]

KJ: Gentlemen, I wanted to congratulate you on your easy win last night. Man, two guys who were in main events when I was the General Manager in the first third of the pay per view against two guys who had never teamed together before. That is really impressive. You guys are really stars. PB, you were World Champion when I was in charge. WP, you were in multiple World title matches when I was in charge. So my question is, do you want to stay in this holding pattern floundering in the lower half of the tag team division, or do you want to be my loyal soldiers? Do you want to follow Holzhammer, Ness, and myself to make sure this is the end once and for all?

[WP takes the microphone from KJ.]

WP: You think we’re going to follow you? You think we’re going to go against everything we stand for to be cogs in a machine. I remember when PB was with you. He was a mindless, pathetic version of himself. He was only World Champion because he was a sycophant yes man who followed your every demand. I’d rather go under in the opening match that follow you. The Legacy-

[PB lifts WP over his head...LEGACY BOMB!]

Heyman: Yes!

Punk: No!

Mathews: Seriously!

[All four of them are putting the boots to WP when Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes plays. RT and AM come running down to the ring with chairs! KJ motions for the fellow members of Game Over to exit. They check on WP.]

Punk: Hell yeah!

Mathews: You hate to see Legacy break up again, but if it means the return of The Resistance, I guess that’s a good thing.

[RT, AM, and WP make their way up the stage.]

Mathews: I never thought we’d be working for KJ again.

Heyman: Isn’t it great?

Mathews: Does this mean you’re a permanent addition?

Heyman: It sure does!

Punk: Greeaaaaat.

Roberts: The following contest is a tag team match. If Baker or GCB win the match by pinfall, they will win a contract to get an FFCW World Championship Match at any time of their choosing.

Punk: So we’re still doing Pin It to Win It?

Mathews: None of them have scored a pinfall yet.

Punk: That’s true.

Heyman: If these guys really wanted to advance their career, they’d join Game Over.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays. WMS and Franchise make their way through the curtain.]

Mathews: These two were unsuccessful in their first venture as a tag team.

Punk: Maybe if they would have faced jobbers in their first match, they would’ve been successful.

Heyman: Punk, it’s 2020. We don’t use the word ‘jobber’ anymore.

Punk: Whatever.

Tag Team Match
The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise] versus Baker [Pin It to Win It] and GCB [Pin It to Win It]
The official calls for the bell, and GCB starts out with Franchise. They shake hands as former stable mates. They start out with a bit of chain wrestling. GCB actually uses his power to get the advantage. WMS calls for the tag. He comes in and does pretty well against GCB. Baker gets the tag in and does ok, but WMS does a decent job holding him off. Baker then throws WMS into his partner. Sweet Chin Music. Baker goes for the pin. GCB breaks it. Baker and GCB are arguing when WMS dropkicks Baker into GCB and rolls him up.
Winners, by pinfall, The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise]

Mathews: The Unionjacks picked up their first win as a team.

Heyman: Perhaps they will decide to join Game Over.

Punk: Nobody else is going to fucking join Game Over.

Mathews: Well, it’s time to send it to a special message from Hall of Famer, Tito Santana, about a new partnership.

[Tito Santana is standing in front of a banner that says “HELL”.]

Santana: Arriba! It’s me, Tito Santana! I’m here to talk about a brand new partnership between FFCW and High Energy Lucha Libre! The very first luchador will be making his debut next week on Quake! His name is Gran Fantasma IV! The Spirit of Pro Wrestling! Take a look!

Santana: We’re going to loan one athlete from High Energy Lucha Libre every month to join the ranks of FFCW! Next week, the debut of Gran Fantasma IV![/quote]

Mathews: Wow! A fresh dose of action from High Energy Lucha Libre.

Punk: What the HELL? Never heard of it.

[The crowd boos as Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots plays. CK comes through the ring covered in bandages.]

Heyman: I love this song.

Punk: This guy was part of the most grotesque matches in FFCW history, and you’re talking about his damn music?

Mathews: Or can we talk about the fact that he still works here, and he’s in another match tonight?

Punk: I’m curious to see who his opponent is.

[The crowd pops when Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Zap comes down the aisle to a big ovation.]

Heyman: You know what this means!

Mathews: What’s that, Paul?

Heyman: We’ve seen the old dump truck for the last time. Heavy Mike must be done.

Punk: It is rare to see Zap in singles action, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Heavy Mike is done.

Singles Match
CK versus Zap
The bell rings, and Zap hits CK with some quick offense. It doesn’t last long though as CK quickly takes over the match. He hits Zap with a series of hard chops. He grabs him by the throat and throws him across the ring. He then runs over to kick Zap in the head multiple times. The official calls him off, but CK doesn’t seem to care. He starts counting to threaten a disqualification. Zap rolls to the floor to evade the assault. CK heads to the top and comes off with a double axe handle. He tries to throw Zap into the guardrail, but he reverses it. Someone in the crowd decks CK with a pair of brass knuckles. Zap looks confused, but the official is continuing the count out. Zap slides in at the last second.
Winner, by count out, Zap

[The person in the crowd takes off his hat and sunglasses…It’s The Dazzler! He jumps over the guardrail and begins throwing more punches at CK. Security comes down from the back trying to pull him off.]

Mathews: AM told him he’d be fired if he tried to retaliate against CK!

Punk: AM can’t fire him anymore though!

[Security actually puts The Dazzler in handcuffs as they take him away.]

Heyman: A man cold blooded on the hunt for revenge.

Mathews: While they get this under control, let’s send it to a video shot earlier today.

Earlier Today

[‘Sharp Dressed Man’ is playing, and JJ walks into the shot.]

JJ: At Chiaroscuro, I had a decent shot at becoming FFCW Champion for the first time in front of a national audience. T-Money, you got in the way of that. Listen, I understand your anger. I understand that you feel like you’re always playing second fiddle to The Kid. He’s made you his loyal follower, and you didn’t want to lay down for him in the gauntlet match. You wanted to become FFCW World Champion just like me. Then he took advantage and pulled your tights. He robbed you. I hope you don’t forget that. Either way, you lost your temper on the wrong guy when you put your hands on me. So next week, when me, you, and Shinobi Musashi are in a triple threat for the right to face The Kid at the Right to Remain Violent, you better believe I’m going to have my eyes set on making sure you lose. Then, I’m going for your buddy The Kid.

Roberts: The following contest is a non-title match! If Greg wins this match by pinfall, he will get a contract to get a shot at the FFCW World Championship at any time of his choosing.

[The crowd boos as What Up, Gangsta? by G-Unit plays. The Kid comes through the curtain followed by Bambi.]

Heyman: The Kid has it all. The championship and one of the hottest girls in FFCW.

Mathews: The...only… girl in FFCW?

Punk: What about Kelly Catherine?!

Heyman: Just imagine if Greg beats him, he could immediately cash in his Pin It to Win It briefcase and win the title.

Punk: Hahahaha.

Non-Title Match
FFCW World Champion The Kid [w/Bambi] versus Greg [Pin It to Win It]
Greg offers The Kid a handshake, and he gives him a confused look. He Irish Whips Greg into the ropes, and Bambi trips him. Kid runs over. No Kidding! He rolls him over and pulls the trunks.
Winner, by pinfall, FFCW World Champion, The Kid [w/Bambi]

[The referee raises The Kid’s hand, and Bambi takes Justin Roberts’ microphone and brings it to The Kid.]

Kid: Sammy Sosa. Brian Urlacher. Michael Jordan. The icons of Chicago sports can’t hold The Kid’s jock. At Chiaroscuro, I overcame every challenger in my wake. I defeated four men and held onto my most prized possession. The FFCW World Championship! I will go down in history as the greatest FFCW Champion of all time. Who’s gonna challenge me next? It doesn’t matter because nobody can stop me!

Mathews: A handful of tights...Bambi interfering….A low blow.

Punk: What is all of the ways The Kid has retained, Alex?

Mathews: Ding ding ding.

Heyman: The Kid will do whatever it takes to keep the championship. I admire that.

Roberts: The following contest is your main event, and it is for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship!

[The crowd pops as Into the Castle by Wolfmother plays. WMVP makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Last night, we had a close finish.

Heyman: A close finish? I agree with General Manager KJ. It was bad officiating.

[The crowd pops again when Let Me Hear You Scream plays, and System makes his way down to the ring.]

Punk: System has been Sub-Forum Champion since we came back.

Mathews: WMVP has had an argument for winning every time though.

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship
WMVP versus System ©
The crowd pops as the two men shake hands before the beginning of the match. They circle each other a bit before they engage in a collar and elbow tie up. There’s a bit of a power struggle before System applies a headlock. WMVP squeaks out and applies a waistlock. He pushes System into the ropes, and the official calls for a break. He gets a clean break, but WMVP then throws System with a suplex. The big man looks a little surprised, and WMVP takes advantage of it by hitting him with some big strikes. A series of knees and forearms. He then starts trying to lock in the Viaje Vice. The crowd is popping at the prospect of a quick finish.

Mathews: Could WMVP put him away right here?

Punk: No way! System isn’t giving up this fast!

System wriggles to the ropes, and the official calls for the break. The champion is clearly flustered as he goes to the floor to regain his composure. WMVP isn’t giving him a second the breath...Suicide Dive! System moves out of the way! WMVP crashes into the guardrail. System throws him back into the ring. He slides in and throws him with a gutwrench suplex. He drops a series of elbow drops before going for the pin. WMVP kicks out. He picks him up. He locks in the Cobra Clutch, and he tries to turn it into the Systematic Demise, but WMVP climbs the turnbuckles reversing it into a pinning predicament. 1..2...NO!

Heyman: He tried to beat him the same way he almost beat him at Chiaroscuro.

Punk: Can he beat him?

WMVP hits System with a big knee strike. He locks on the Viaje Vice. System tries to get to the ropes again. However WMVP won’t relent. The official is in position...SYSTEM GIVES UP!
Winner, by submission, and NEW FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, WMVP!

Mathews: He did it! WMVP won.

[The official hands WMVP the championship, and he looks at himself in the reflection of the title. System rolls out of the ring with his head down. WMVP slides out of the ring. He grabs System and offers him a handshake. He accepts. System and WMVP raise each other’s hands.]

Mathews: The sportsmanship. The athleticism. The respect. They are two of the best!

After the Show Went Off the Air Last Week

[The camera shoots over his shoulder when a medical official approaches him.]

Medic: Are you ok to get yourself back to the hotel?

“Fuck you.”

Medic: You don’t need any help?

“Leave me the fuck alone.”

Medic: Let us help you.

“Fuck off.”

Medic: HEY!

[The Dazzler hits him in the back of the head with a chair.]

Medic: Dazz! Stop! He’s already hurt.

[Dazzler grabs him and hits him with a piledriver! The medic is yelling for help when The Dazzler hits him with a brain buster on the cement floor.]

Dazzler: You don’t have AM to hide behind anymore you sick son of a bitch!

In KJ We Trust

Mathews: You all just saw the brutal attack performed by The Dazzler after the cameras stopped rolling last week. We’ve heard from officials we will never see the individual who was the victim of the attack ever again.

Punk: I wish he’d never come back in the first place.

Mathews: We’ve got a lot of action in store for you tonight. Direct from High Energy Lucha Libre-

Punk: Direct from HELL!

Mathews: It’s the debut of Gran Fantasma IV. In our main event, we’ve got a triple threat match to determine who will face The Kid at The Right to Remain Violent.

Heyman: Not to mention what I believe will be the true main event this week when the two newest members of Game Over, PB and Ness obliterate The Real NoRTh AMericans representing The Resistance.

Mathews: Plus we’ve been told that former FFCW World Tag Team Champion, Heavy Mike will announce his retirement tonight.

Punk: It’s almost all action this week! I cannot wait.

Roberts: It is now time for our opening contest!

[The lights go out. Lucifers Hymn by Peter Gundry begins to play. Women in white dresses holding candles begin to appear throughout the arena. Gran Fantasma IV seems to float down to the ring through low lying smoke. He’s covered in white shrouds with a huge mask. He throws his arms up in the air conducting the music. He drops his arms as the girls blow out the candles and the lights go out. When the lights come back on, he’s wearing white parachute pants and a much smaller mask.]

Roberts: From Guadalahara, Mexico, by way of High Energy Lucha Libre, Gran Fantasma IV!

Mathews: We’re joined by Tito Santana on commentary.

Santana: Thanks for having me guys.

Punk: I’ll speak on behalf of everyone else. Thank god Paul Heyman is gone. Now, Tito, tell us about Gran Fantasma IV.

Santana: He’s definitely a mystery. I’ve heard in High Energy Lucha Libre they call him The Spirit of Pro Wrestling.

[The crowd pops when Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne plays. System makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Conspicuous by the absence of the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship, you have to imagine System is in a bad mood.

Santana: This should be an interesting clash of styles. Fantasma, I believe, is known to be a high flyer while I’d guess System is more of a power fighter.

Punk: A power fighter indeed, but he’s also known for the Systematic Demise, a submission move.

Santana: I’ve never seen a full match from either of these guys. I’m excited for this one.

Singles Match
Gran Fantasma IV [HELL] versus System
The match starts with Fantasma flying all over the ring. However, nothing he throws at System seems to land. The former Sub-Forum Champion seems very confused by the antics of the new masked man. Fantasma jumps to the top and goes for a moonsault, but System catches him. Oklahoma Stampede. He goes for the pin. It’s over!
Winner, by pinfall, System

Santana: Well, that was disappointing.

Mathews: Certainly not how Gran Fantasma IV wanted his debut to go.

Punk: We’ve never seen System win a match with the Stampede before.

Mathews: Could be a powerful weapon in his arsenal.

-------

[The crowd pops Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Zap comes through the curtain.
Heavy Mike walks through the curtain wearing a full tuxedo, and he has black sunglasses covering his eyes and a walking stick. Zap guides him down to the ring.]

Mathews: This could very well be the last time we see Heavy Mike in FFCW.

Punk: He was blinded by The Men Who Sold The World. They literally took his entire career away from him.

[Mike gets into the ring, and Justin Roberts brings him a microphone.]

Mike: In my opinion, I never had a Hall of Fame career. I’m just a big kid who did what he loved. I remember growing up the only time my mom could get me to sit down for two hours straight was Saturday morning to watch wrestling. I loved this business from the first moment I laid eyes on it. One Man Gang. Earthquake. Obviously Vader. They were all inspirations to a big kid from Australia.

When me and Zappy crossed the big ocean to come to the USA, we wanted to be the great tag team. We wanted to be like The Fabulous Kangaroos. We wanted to be like The Sheepherders. We wanted to be the Australian Road Warriors. Some people say we were. I don’t know. We held the FFCW World Tag Team Championships a time or two, and we fought some of the great teams. We fought the Legacy. We fought the Power Duo. We fought every version of The Triad at one point or another. The Australian Electric Company meant something.

So I’m not out here looking for sympathy. I’m out here to appeal to everybody in the locker room. I’m out here to appeal to some of the young men in the crowd. I’m out here to ask you to do the right thing. We got a couple of sacks of shit in that locker room who disrespect the World Tag Team Championships. Radikal and Raven Star, if I could kick your asses, I would do it every day of the week and twice on Sunday!

[The crowd boos when Man Who Sold the World plays. Radikal and Raven Star.]

Punk: Ugh. What are these two dirt bags doing out here?

Heyman: Maybe they brought him a retirement present.

[They slide into the ring, and Zap puts his hand on Mike’s shoulder. Mike lifts his walking stick to protect himself.]

Radikal: This is so sad.

Raven Star: It really is.

Radikal: You lost your career without really accomplishing anything.

Raven Starl: Just think. If you had stayed home and sat on your fat ass, you’d still be able to see.

Radikal: But Mike, we didn’t come out here to make fun of you for being an overweight, unintelligent loser from Australia.

Raven Star: That’s right. We came to ask for something. We came to ask for some gratitude.

Radikal: That’s right. We want you to thank us for making it so you never have to look at your fat, pathetic, self in the mirror again.

Mike: Is that right?

Raven Star: That’s right.

Mike: I see.

Radikal: You see?

Mike: I see.

[MIKE RIPS OFF THE GLASSES! HE NAILS RADIKAL WITH THE WALKING STICK! HE NAILS RAVEN STAR WITH THE WALKING STICK! He scoop slams both of them. He picks up the microphone.]

Mike: I see the two of you in the ring in the ring with the two of us for the FFCW World Tag Team Championship one last time.

Punk: What?!

Mathews: He was all a trap! He lured them in.

Raven Star: You want to intimidate us?! You want a shot at OUR titles? Fine. But you’re only getting one more shot, and you have to put something up, too.

Mike: If we can’t beat you for those titles, I’ll come back out and give this speech for real.

[Zap and Radikal both ask their partner what they’re thinking. Radikal points to the aisle, and they walk off. Mike is not looking at Zap as he walks up the ramp.]

Mathews: I want to see Mike and Zap win the tag team championships as much as they next guy, but you have to ask if the risk was worth the reward.

Punk: Are they really going to put their careers on the line?

Heyman: Seems Mike is. But is Zap?

Roberts: If Mal wins the following contest by pinfall or submission, he will win a contract for an FFCW World Championship Match at any time of his choosing.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays, and Franchise makes his way down to the ring followed by WMS.]

Mathews: We saw Franchise and WMS pick up their first tag team win in FFCW. Can Franchise keep his winning ways?

Punk: The thing about Mal, and everyone in Pin It to Win It is they’re all just one win away from getting the opportunity of a lifetime.

Heyman: All they have to do is score a pinfall.

Singles Match
Franchise [w/WMS] versus Mal [Pin It to Win It]
WMS is going over some strategy with Franchise when Mal runs into the corner with a dropkick. He knocks WMS off the apron. He hits Franchise with a hip toss. He then quickly hits him with a snap leg drop. He goes for a quick pin, but Franchise kicks out before he reaches one. The Unionjack scrambles to the floor, but Mal goes off the ropes. Suicide Plancha! Franchise holds his ankle, and the official is distracted when WMS sends Mal into the stairs. He throws Mal into the ring while Franchise has a miracle recovery. He hits the Samoan Drop. He hooks the leg and the tights!
Winner, by pinfall, Franchise [w/WMS]

Mathews: I think Mal was on pace to win that one!

Punk: Mal who was an interviewer here as a teenager, received an FFCW World Championship shot for his 18th birthday.

Heyman: Where he was destroyed by PB.

Mathews: Still, there is a lot of thought that this kid isn’t anywhere near his prime yet.

Heyman: Well, there may not be an FFCW when he hits his peak.

[The crowd boos as Game Over plays. KJ and Holzhammer walk out first. PB and Ness follow wearing their gear on.]

Heyman: I cannot wait to see this company get dismantled.

Mathews: Tonight, it would appear Ness and PB need to prove themselves.

[KJ takes a microphone.]

KJ: Tonight, it’s baptism by fire. PB, Ness, you want to prove you can hang with us? You’ll have to prove it. But you don’t have to prove it to me. I have work to do. You can prove it to Holzhammer.

[KJ walks out. Seven Nation Army plays, and AM and RT make their way through the curtain. WP follows them down to the ring.]

Heyman: What’s this schmuck doing out here?

Punk: What’s that idiot Holzhammer doing out here?

Heyman: Kicking your ass if you’re not careful.

Tag Team Match
The Real NoRTh AMericans [RT and AM] [w/WP] versus GAME OVER [PB and Ness] [w/Holzhammer]
RT and Ness start out the match. The Canadian is all offense and in total control of the match early on. It’s clear who’s side the crowd is on. The North Americans use some quick tags to work on Game Over. AM goes for the Mac Pack DDT early. He then brags to Holzhammer about how he was going to put them away. However, the distraction is all PB needs to attack AM. Game Over now cuts the ring in half. They utilize quick tags, and things are not looking good for the former General Manager. PB gets him up...Queen Suplex into a Legacy Bomb! He goes for the pin. 1...2...NO! AM kicks out. PB grabs him by the hair and throws him to the floor in a rage. Holzhammer begins to stalk him. WP comes running around the corner. He hits Holzhammer with a double axe handle. They begin to fight and Holzhammer throws him over the guard rail. They fight through the crowd. AM uses the distraction to tag RT. He comes in with a house of fire. He takes down PB who stumbles to the corner to tag Ness. The Gamer comes in, but RT ducks the line. BEER BLASTER! He hooks the leg.
Winners, by pinfall, The Real NoRTh AMericans [AM and RT]

Mathews: That is not going to sit well with KJ!

Heyman: Of course it isn’t. Why would it? It’s all that asshole WP’s fault.

Punk: He was merely neutralizing Holzhammer!

Heyman: Which he had no business doing!

Mathews: Before this argument escalates anymore, I’m told we caught some footage earlier today.

[The camera focuses on a door that says “FFCW Legal”. Candice is sitting in the chair outside the office holding her progressively more pregnant stomach. The Dazzler walks out the door.]

[/i]

Dazzler: Hey. It’s fine.

Candice: What?

Dazzler: Yeah, apparently there were some warrants for his arrest in a place called Milan, Illinois. They got him to drop the charges against me, and they’re going to turn him in for a lesser charge or something.

Candice: That doesn’t make it fine.

Dazzler: What?

Candice: I am weeks away from giving birth to YOUR child. Do you think I want to introduce that child to you from behind bars?

Dazzler: What? You’re being ridiculous.

Candice: I’m being ridiculous? You were TOLD to stay away from him. You were told to stay away from him for a very good reason.

Dazzler: We’re not going to let-

Candice: There isn’t going to BE a we if you can’t get your head on straight.

[She walks away.]

Dazzler: Candice! Candice, what the hell?! Come on!

[He follows her out of the shot.][/i][/b][/quote]

Mathews: Dazzler has been through a lot in the last few months.

Punk: So has Candice!

Mathews: That’s very true.

[The crowd is confused when Congratulations by Post Malone plays. Their confusion quickly turns to boos when The Kid makes his way through the curtain. He’s wearing a new jacket and has the FFCW World Championship wrapped around his waist. He comes down to sit at the commentary table.]

Kid: Y’all remember how good I was at this?

Punk: I have no recollection of you being good at anything.

Kid: I’m just the greatest FFCW World Champion of all time.

Mathews: That’s RT in my book.

Roberts: The following contest is a triple threat match, and the winner will face The Kid for the FFCW World Championship at The Right to Remain Violent!

[The crowd cheers as Sharp Dressed Man plays. JJ walks through the curtain. He high fives several members of the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring.]

Kid: They let him out of the nursing home again?

Punk: He gave you a run for your money in the gauntlet!

Kid: He did not.

Punk: I called the match you asshole.

[The crowd boos when Must Be the Money plays. T-Money walks through the curtain with Bambi following him. Bambi goes over to the announce table and sits on Kid’s lap while rubbing the championship.]

Kid: This girl knows the champ when she sees him.

Mathews: Well, T-Money might have been the champion had you not had a handful of tights.

Kid: I beat him, didn’t I? Man, how do these people listen to y’all whine and bitch every week? Don’t even talk to me anymore. I only want to talk to Paul E.

Mathews: You two deserve each other.

[The crowd pops when Started from the Bottom by Drake plays, and Shinobi Musashi makes his way through the curtain.]

Kid: Another guy who failed to take my title.

Heyman: You kicked him right between the legs and got yourself intentionally disqualified.

Kid: Damn, Paul E., you too?

Heyman: You know Bambi is the only one who even kind of likes you, right?

Triple Threat Match
Winner Faces The Kid at The Right to Remain Violent
JJ versus T-Money versus Shinobi Musashi
The match starts with JJ offering Shinobi Musashi a handshake in the middle of the ring while T-Money stands in the corner. JJ pulls him in and whispers something to him. They both go after T-Money. They hit him a few times, but he jumps out of the ring. JJ chases after him. Shinobi goes off the ropes and delivers a baseball slide dropkick. JJ picks T-Money up and delivers a scoop slam to the floor. Shinobi picks T up and delivers his own scoop slam on the floor. They then grab him together and throw him over the announce table at Kid!

Kid: AHHH! What the damn hell!

Mathews: There is NOT ROOM for anyone else on commentary!

JJ and Shinobi slide into the ring and face off. They circle around each other and lock up. Shinobi spins into an arm bar. He wrenches it down, and JJ is trying to get the crowd behind him. He twists out and applies an arm bar of his own. Shinobi does a front flip to escape then sweeps the legs of JJ. He goes for a pin, but JJ kicks out. Both men quickly move into fighting poses, and the crowd ooohs. They stand up, and JJ hits Shinobi’s chest with a chop. Shinobi nods before hitting JJ with a chop of his own. The Brit yells “COME ON!” before hitting Shinobi even harder. He flinches a little before painting JJ’s chest with a flurry of chops. JJ hits him with a big uppercut before hitting him with the Acid Drop! 1...2...T-Money hits JJ in the back of the head with a chair.

Heyman: This is exactly what T-Money needed to do to get himself back in the match.

Punk: Hit somebody with a chair!

T-Money throws JJ to the floor. He then hits Shinobi in the ribs with the chair. He then drives it into his knee. He wraps the chair around Shin’s knee and jumps on it. He then goes for the pin. 1...2...NO! He kicks out! T-Money is frustrated, but he picks him up by the hair. He throws him across the ring by the hair. He throws him into the corner and drives his Timberlands into the midsection. He pulls him out of the corner. Moneymaker. He goes for the pin. 1...NO! T-Money looks furious! He grabs the chair again. He hits Shinobi with it repeatedly. He picks him up for another Moneymaker, but JJ springboard onto the top rope and hits a springboard uppercut. JJ then throws Shinobi out of the way, but he simply rolls to the apron. JJ takes the chair and begins to get his revenge on T-Money.

Heyman: JJ is a man possessed!

Punk: He remembers how T-Money cost him the gauntlet match!

Mathews: No one can stop him! There’s no disqualifications.

JJ finally drops the chair. T-Money is busted open. JJ looks incensed. He applies the Boston Crab. The official gets into position. T-Money is shaking his head. He will not give up. JJ is wrenching. T-Money is crawling. He gets to the ropes. The referee calls for the break, but JJ isn’t listening. He keeps wrenching back. 1...2...3...4...5, but there are no disqualifications! JJ continues to pull back...BAM! KO KICK! Shinobi throws JJ to the floor. He pins T-Money. 1...2...3!
Winner, by pinfall, and NEW Number One Contender, Shinobi Musashi

Mathews: JJ was so incensed with his hatred for T-Money that he missed out on the opportunity to get what he always wanted.

Punk: And now Kid faces the only guy he didn’t actually beat at The Right to Remain Violent.

[The official raises Shinobi’s hand as The Kid stands on the announce table and holds the championship up high. They lock eyes.]

FFCW Quake
“The End” Episode 11
FFCW Arena
Chicago, Illinois

In KJ We Trust

Mathews: Good evening everyone, and welcome to FFCW Quake. We’ve got a lot of action for you tonight with six big matches!

Punk: I don’t think they’re all big, but some of them will certainly be good.

Mathews: Fair assessment, Punk. We’ve got Shinobi Musashi and JJ taking on The Kid and T-Money!

Punk: New Sub-Forum Champion WMVP will be in action, and Gran Fantasma IV from HELL is also here!

Heyman: Talk about the main event where Game Over’s Holzhammer will obliterate WP.

Mathews: That will be our main event tonight, but let’s send it to the ring.

Roberts: Our opening contest is a tag team match!

[The crowd boos as Congratulations by Post Malone plays. Bambi walks out first followed by T-Money, and FFCW World Champion, The Kid. They make their way down to the ring with Bambi admiring the World Championship while T looks at her with some embarrassment in his eyes.]

Heyman: T-Money has been on a bit of a losing streak lately while The Kid has been untouchable. It looks like Bambi may be seeing her meal ticket changing.

Punk: So, you’re saying she’s a gold digger?

Heyman: Well, I guess...Yeah. What’s wrong with that?

Mathews: Either way, The Kid is going to have to face off with the man he’s going to face at The Right to Remain Violent.

[The crowd pops as Sharp Dressed Man plays, and JJ steps onto the stage. He waits on the stage while Started from the Bottom by Drake plays. Shinobi Musashi walks on stage. They fist bump before heading down to the ring.]

Mathews: One week ago, these two were getting ready to fight for the opportunity at the biggest championship in FFCW.

Punk: Right, but they’ve put that behind them. Shinobi to get an early shot at The Kid, and JJ has been somewhat obsessed with T-Money since Chiaroscuro it seems.

Mathews: Many would argue if JJ had broken the Boston Crab and gone for the pin, it would be him challenging The Kid at The Right to Remain Violent.

Heyman: We’ve never seen that side of JJ before, and I think T-Money may be hoping we don’t see it again.

Tag Team Match
T-Money and FFCW World Champion, The Kid [w/ Bambi] versus JJ and Shinobi Musashi
The match starts with JJ wanting T-Money and Shinobi wanting Kid. Ultimately, Shinobi and T-Money start the match. They lock up, and Shinobi is in complete control from the beginning. T-Money escapes a hold, and he goes to Kid for a tag, but Kid doesn’t seem to notice. Shinobi grabs him and Irish whips him into the corner. Shinobi comes into the corner with a knee before tagging in JJ. T-Money rushes to the opposite corner to blind tag Kid. The World Champion is insulted that he is now the legal man and jumps to the floor. JJ goes for the dive, but Kid moves out of the way. He delivers some stomps to the back of the head of The Gentleman. He throws him back into the ring and puts the beating to him with all of the arrogance and swagger for which he is known. JJ tries to get the tag, but the champion pulls him away. He hits him with a brainbuster before going off the ropes for No Kidding. He blind tags T-Money as he goes off the ropes, but he misses the curb stomp! JJ gets the tag! Kid grabs his championship and runs up the ramp while Shinobi begins to hit T-Money with some offense. The official is telling Kid to come back to the ring. Bambi slides her purse to T, but it goes right past him! Shinobi kicks it out of the ring. Drop toe hold onto the middle rope. KO KICK! He goes for the pin. Kid and Bambi run up the ramp.
Winners, by pinfall, JJ and Shinobi Musashi

Mathews: T-Money’s partners walked out on him!

Punk: Shinobi showed Kid what his fate may be next week!

[T-Money is yelling toward the ramp when JJ hits him from behind with the double axe handle. He grabs him and applies the Boston Crab. T-Money is calling out in pain, and security comes down to pull JJ off.]

Mathews: It all started with T-Money costing him the gauntlet, but JJ has become obsessed!

Punk: You’ve gotta think these two are going to face off one on one at some point.

Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. If Greg wins by pinfall, he will get an FFCW World Championship Match at any time of his choosing.

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays. WMS steps through the curtain followed by Franchise.]

Punk: Oh great. The Unionjackoffs.

Mathews: That’s a new one.

Punk: I hope Greg wins.

Heyman: Don’t be ridiculous.

Singles Match
WMS [w/Franchise] versus Greg [Pin It to Win It]
The bell rings, and WMS rushes Greg. He hits him with a flurry of strikes. He hits him with Fools Rush In. He goes for the pin. Greg gets his hand under the rope. WMS looks incensed. He picks Greg up by the ears and throws him into the corner. He chops him several times before hitting him with Fools Rush In again. He goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, WMS [w/Franchise]

Mathews: I may strongly dislike them, but The Unionjacks have been on a roll.

Heyman: They have to be in line for a tag team championship opportunity.

Mathews: Well, it won’t be at The Right to Remain Violent. We found out what that match will be last week.

Punk: The Australian Electric Company put their careers on the line against The Men Who Sold the World.

[The crowd boos as Man Who Sold the World plays, and Radikal comes through the crowd followed by Raven Star.]

Mathews: Did you guys get the vibe that Radikal wasn’t too happy with Raven Star for putting their titles on the line?

Heyman: Very much so. They’ve already beaten these guys in a tag team match and a triple threat. Why should they do it again?

Mathews: Heavy Mike used some mind games to get the title shot, that’s for sure.

[The crowd pops as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Heavy Mike comes down to the ring followed by Zap.]

Punk: How do you think Zap feels about Mike putting his career on the line?

Mathews: I think it’s the ultimate show of confidence in his partner.

Punk: The guy was blind less than a month ago, and now, he wants to jump right back into competition?

Heyman: How long was he really blind, and how long was he playing a game?

Punk: That’s actually a good question…

Singles Match
Radikal [w/Raven Star] versus Heavy Mike [w/Zap]
The match starts with Mike really playing to the crowd. He invites Radikal to hit him. He hits him with a chop. Mike says it doesn’t hurt. Radikal hits him again. Mike challenges him to do it one more time. Radikal pokes him in the eyes. He delivers a series of strikes before throwing him onto the middle rope. Radikal distracts the referee while Raven Star chokes Mike on the middle rope. Zap comes over to chase him away. Mike rolls to the floor to go after Raven himself. Radikal goes for a suicide dive to the floor. All four men are down. Mike is the first up, and the big man throws Radikal into the ring. African Earthquake! 1...2..3!
Winner, by pinfall, Heavy Mike

Punk: It clearly looks like Mike is back and ready to fight!

Heyman: Well, he may only have one or two matches left in him!

[Suddenly, God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash plays.]

Mathews: What?!

Heyman: What’s he doing here?! This isn’t on my run sheet.

[The crowd pops when jTj walks through the curtain. He’s got KT tape all over his neck. He’s wearing an FFCW t-shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots with a ten gallon hat.]

Mathews: The John Wayne of FFCW has returned.

Heyman: But what’s he doing here?!

[jTj steps in the ring and asks Justin for a microphone.]

jTj: There weren’t exactly plans for the cowboy to come around, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. At least, that’s what I used to believe. I’m out here older and wiser. I’m out here as a man who has discovered how dangerous revenge can be. This guy has been trying to get under the cowboy’s skin for a long time. He KNEW I would go after him when he took that damsel in distress and handcuffed her to a barbed wire fence like a monster. He wasn’t trying to get her. He was trying to get me, and he did. He nearly broke my neck. But he was after ME. Not Cassandra. Not The Dazzler.

Now, he’s gone. I’ve been assured we will never see him again, and I’m going to be honest with you. A long time ago that would have bothered me. I’d want to bury him. I’d want to put him down myself. My best friend, PI, tried to do it for me, and look at what happened to him. We’re never going to see him again. PI was a good man who was just trying to provide for his family. He never deserved to be ended by that monster.

Neither does The Dazzler. So they call me the White Knight. They call me the John Wayne of FFCW. So what the Sam Hill am I supposed to do? Dazzler, I need to talk to you son.

[The Dazzler walks down to the ring. He rolls in.]

jTj: Thanks for coming down, son.

Dazzler: I’m not your son.

jTj: Semantics, kid. Now, your wife was right when she was trying to get through to you. She was trying to tell you to do the right thing. I’ve experienced all of this-

Dazzler: Hold up. You actually haven’t experienced this before. YOU are the one who starts shit and then runs. PI has fought your battles TWICE and paid for it. I took care of things myself.

jTj: And you shouldn’t-

Dazzler: YOU don’t get to tell me that!

jTj: I’m telling you, son. None of this is-

Dazzler: Call me son one more time!

jTj: You have to decide what battles you want to fight in your life and this isn’t one of them. You can’t let yourself go off the deep end. You have a wife, and you’re going to have a child.

Dazzler: And it is MY job to protect them.

jTj: Seems the last time they were in danger, I was the one who took care of them, son.

[Dazzler SLAPS jTj!]

jTj: Think long and hard about your choices, boy. I can be your friend, or I can end you.

Dazzler: Bring it, bitch.

[jTj grabs him by the collar and Dazzler grabs him by the throat. jTj lets go out of concern and pushes Dazzler away. Dazz jumps on the middle rope and hits him with a Dazzling Kick! Security comes running down to the ring.]

Mathews: Dazzler has lost his mind! He just attacked jTj!

Punk: Jeff was talking to him like he was a child. It was ridiculous.

Heyman: At the end of the day, CK has caused more damage by leaving than he could by staying.

Mathews: Dazzler has lost it.

-------

Roberts: Already in the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, Mal. If Mal wins by pinfall, he will get a contract for an FFCW World Championship Match at any time of his choosing.

[The lights go out. Lucifers Hymn by Peter Gundry begins to play. Women in white dresses holding candles begin to appear throughout the arena. Gran Fantasma IV seems to float down to the ring through low lying smoke. He’s covered in white shrouds with a huge mask. He throws his arms up in the air conducting the music. He drops his arms as the girls blow out the candles and the lights go out. When the lights come back on, he’s wearing white parachute pants and a much smaller mask.]

Roberts: From Guadalahara, Mexico, by way of High Energy Lucha Libre, Gran Fantasma IV!

Mathews: Last week, we saw Gran Fantasma IV fail to put System away.

Santana: That was my first time seeing Gran Fantasma IV in a match, but I think he could have a shot tonight.

Punk: Yeah, there’s not really a chance of him losing this one, Tito.

Heyman: Can we talk about how Mal nearly won last week?

Singles Match
Gran Fantasma IV [HELL] versus Mal [Pin It to Win It]
They lock up. Mal tries to throw Fantasma into the corner, but the ghost does a headstand in the corner. Mal thinks quick and delivers a baseball slide dropkick into the corner! Mal goes for the pin, but Fantasma kicks out. Mal grabs him by the mask and delivers a series of more strikes. He hits Fantasma with Malifornication! He goes for the pin again…GCB and Baker enter the ring attacking Mal. The official calls for the bell.
Winner, by disqualification, Mal

Santana: What was that!? Fantasma lost again!

Mathews: Gran Fantasma 0-2, but how about Baker and GCB stopping Mal from getting the victory in this one?!

Heyman: Mal may have won, but he didn’t get the pin, so he doesn’t get the contract!

[Mal throws GCB over the top rope. Baker swings at him, but Mal throws him to the floor as well. Fantasma then clotheslines Mal over the top rope. He goes off the ropes. Springboard 630 onto all three of them!]

Santana: What athleticism! I’ve never seen anything like it!

Heyman: Baker is in the next match! Is he going to be able to make it!?

[The lights go out. When they come back on, Gran Fantasma IV is gone. Mal walks up the ramp looking furious as GCB follows him. Baker rolls into the ring and picks himself up.]

Roberts: Already in the ring, from In Your House, Baker! If Baker is able to win by pinfall, he will get a shot at the FFCW World Championship at any time of his choosing.

Heyman: This isn’t really fair to Baker. He’s the Savior of the New Generation.

Punk: What does that even mean? How can you save something that’s been gone for 25 years?

[The crowd pops as Into the Castle by Wolfmother plays. WMVP makes his way down to the ring with his championship around his waist.]

Mathews: Two weeks ago in our main event, we saw WMVP capture the Sub-Forum Championship, and wait a minute.

[WMVP takes the microphone.]

WMVP: System gets his rematch at the Sub-Forum Championship at The Right to Remain Violent, but I’m not waiting to be a fighting champion. I will defend this title every time I get in the ring.

Punk: Wait, so Baker can win Pin It to Win It AND the Sub-Forum Championship?

Heyman: Yeah, and this time, if he wins by submission, he’ll at least win the Sub-Forum Championship, but he won’t win the contract.

Mathews: But if he wins by pinfall he gets them both. This could be a game changing night.

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
Baker [Pin It to Win It] versus WMVP ©
The match starts with Baker actively evading WMVP. He goes to the floor, but the champion comes after him. He slides back into the ring and attacks the champion when he gets the chance. He delivers some knees to the head. He applies a headlock, but WMVP powers up. He then throws WMVP throat first on the middle rope. He chokes him and breaks at four. He throws him over the top rope sending him to the floor. He goes to the floor quickly and gives him a German Suplex on the floor before throwing him back in. GCB then walks out on stage. Baker is looking ready to go for the pin, and GCB shakes his head. Baker then looks as though he’s going to go for the sharpshooter instead. He decides against it and goes for a bridging pin! WMVP kicks out, but GCB moves closer to the ring. Baker is yelling at him. Reverse Rana from WMVP. He goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, and STILL FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, WMVP

Mathews: Last week we saw System win with a stampede. This week WMVP won with a Reverse Rana. Two guys known for their submissions are diversifying their arsenal.

Punk: This will be their third singles battle, and they’ve fought other times before!

Roberts: It is not time for your MAIN EVENT! Introducing first!

[The crowd gives a medium reaction when Carmina Burana hits. Holzhammer comes through the curtain by himself.]

Punk: I’m honestly surprised a member of Game Over is out here by himself.

Heyman: He’s the Devil Himself. He’s the most dominant force in the HISTORY of FFCW.

Mathews: I’m not sure I would go that far, Paul.

Heyman: I would. He’s a beast.

[The crowd pops when I’m The Man by Aloe Blacc plays, and WP comes through the curtain.]

Mathews: It’s so weird seeing him out here solo again.

Punk: PB, for whatever reason, is unable to say no to KJ. It’s like his spine turns to jello when that guy comes around.

Main Event
Holzhammer versus WP
The two men face off to start the match. WP goes off the ropes and hits the big man with a drop kick. Holzhammer sort of flinches, but he doesn’t go off his feet. WP goes off the ropes again, and he tries to take him down again, but he doesn’t fall. He goes off again, but this time he dropkicks him in the knee! He falls down to one knee. He hits him with a step up enziguri! He throws another flurry of kicks before hitting Holzhammer with a short DDT. He holds on and applies a front facelock. He’s locking in the submission. However, Holzhammer is too powerful. He picks him right back up. Holzhammer throws him across the ring. He waits for WP to get up then decapitates him with a big boot. He picks him up. Chokeslam! Chokeslam! He goes for the pin. WP kicks out! Holzhammer looks furious now. He picks him up by the hair. The official tells him to let go of the hair, but he swings at the ref. He hits WP with the headbutt. He goes for the pin. The official is afraid to get into position. Holzhammer tells him to count. 1...2...3.
Winner, by pinfall, Holzhammer

Mathews: Can anyone kick out of that headbutt?

Heyman: That’s the murder head butt! It’s over.

[The crowd boos when Ness, PB, and KJ come down to the ring. KJ instructs PB to begin the assault. AM and RT come running down to the ring with chairs. Game Over is getting the advantage as the brawl continues. Holzhammer throws AM over the announce table. KJ has stolen RT’s chair. PB and Ness hold him as KJ is about to hit RT in the head with the steel chair.]

Punk: Someone has got to get this under control!

”Wrestling has more than one...Royal Family.”[/b][/i]

Mathews: What?!

Heyman: What the hell?!

[The crowd is losing their shit as…Cody walks on stage. Everything in the ring stops.]

Cody: My name is Cody, and I am the Owner of FFCW.

Mathews: What?!

Heyman: You didn’t know that?!

Cody: I never planned on getting involved, but this has gone on long enough. The failed KJ as General Manager experiment is almost over. At The Right to Remain Violent, this feud between The Resistance and Game Over ends the only way feuds can end...inside War Games. If Game Over wins, this thing ends forever. All future shows cancelled. All contracts cashed out. If The Resistance wins, we finish what we started with no General Manager. Resistance, you have one week to find a partner.

[The crowd pops as Sharp Dressed Man plays. JJ makes his way down to the ring. He is wearing a white suit with an orange shirt and a white tie. He asks Justin for a microphone.]

JJ: What a difference a week makes. Two weeks ago, I had a chance at the FFCW World Championship. Then, last week, Cody Rhodes revealed he’s the owner of FFCW, and we have the biggest stakes of any match ever with the War Games. I called RT. I told him I would be the fourth man. I told him I would fight for FFCW because I still have a few things I want to do around here. I still have a few scores to settle.

I want to end you, T-Money. You cost me what could be my last shot at the championship I covet more than any other. YOU robbed me of the FFCW World Championship. I got you locked in the Boston Crab two weeks ago. You didn’t give up, and it cost me. You see, i’m not going to be satisfied until I get my hands on you one on one. There’s also the issue of the World Championship, and my obsession with you distracted me from the prize,

If things end Saturday night, I don’t get my shot. I don’t get my chance at the championship. I don’t get my redemption. But this is what I do get...My match with T-Money. See, RT said they already have a fourth man, so it looks like I’ll be free to kick T-Money’s ass in an Abingdon Street Fight!

Punk: What the hell is an Abingdon Street Fight?

Mathews: Hold on, I’m googling it.

[JJ walks back up the stage as his music plays. Then, somewhat abruptly, Riders on the Storm plays, and WMS and Franchise walk down to the ring with microphones.]

WMS: For those uneducated American idiots out there, Abingdon Street is the street Westminster Abbey is on.

Franchise: Sort of.

WMS: Well, it’s a street name you can put on a marquee. Speaking of being on the marquee, now that the old windbag JJ is done running his mouth, how about the two greatest talents from across the pond in all of FFCW show you what we’re all about.

Franchise: Wait, mate, we’re not on the card this week.

WMS: We’re not? Of course we’re not. We’ve only one every match we’ve been in since Chiaroscuro. Makes sense to give us the night off.

Franchise: Sure it does. NOT!

WMS: Give us some opponents! We’ll fight anyone. We don’t care. Get us a ref.

[The crowd pops when Let Me Hear You Scream plays, and System walks on stage. WMS yells he doesn’t have a partner. He motions to the entryway and Into the Castle plays, and FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, WMVP joins him.]

Mathews: All right! Two men who will face off at The Right to Remain Violent!

Heyman: I hope one of them stabs the other in the back to win the match.

Mathews: They’re not going to do that, Paul. They respect each other.

Impromptu Tag Team Match
The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise] versus System and FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, WMVP
WMS shoves WMVP to begin the match. He yells ‘Hey, how about giving me a shot at the title!’ WMVP shrugs before slapping him in the face. He whips him into the corner where he tags System in. The big man comes in and unloads on WMS who begs Franchise for a tag. He comes in, but he’s no match for the giant Australian. He clubs him several times before the Cobra Clutch Slam! Systematic Demise! WMS runs in. WMVP hits him with the Reverse Rana! Franchise taps!
Winners, by submission, WMVP and System

Punk: Well, so much for that undefeated streak.

[WMS hears him and runs over to him.]

WMS: We’ll get it back! We’re going to issue an open challenge at the pay per view, too!

[System grabs the microphone from Roberts before WMVP goes.]

System: So, Saturday night, The Right to Remain Violent, we still don’t have our violent stipulation. I’ve got an idea. An Absolute Victory Match. First person to score a pinfall AND a submission wins.

WMVP: I like it. I’m in.

[They shake hands.]

Heyman: That will be one hell of a match!

Mathews: I’m told we’re now going to send it to FFCW Owner, Cody.

Cody: Tonight, a lot of people are wondering who will join AM, RT, and WP in the War Games match, and quite frankly, I am too. I love suspense. It makes good television. Another thing, in my opinion, that has made for some good television, is the Pin It to Win It concept. Guys who have never had their shot at the big one with a new incentive to win every match. However, as you know, all good things must come to an end. That’s why at the Right to Remain Violent, we need to make sure someone wins that contract. So, it’s going to be a Pinfalls Only Scramble Match pitting Mal against Baker against GCB against Greg against the newest member of the pool, High Energy Lucha Libre’s Gran Fantasma IV. May the best man win.]

Mathews: Wow, Gran Fantasma IV added to the mix.

Punk: He could win that title and take it straight to HELL.

Mathews: High Energy Lucha Libre.

Punk: Yeah. What else?

[The crowd boos when Man Who Sold the World plays. Raven Star shuffles down the stairs followed by Radikal.]

Heyman: Who knows who the Men Who Sold the World would be defending against if Mike hadn’t faked his retirement?

Punk: Probably still the AEC. We only have like 3 tag teams now.

[Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays, and Zap makes his way through the curtain followed by Heavy Mike!]

Mathews: These two men just days away from putting it all on the line.

Punk: Imagine being Zap and having your partner decide to put your career on the line.

Heyman: Well, there isn’t going to be a company after War Games, but it doesn’t matter.

Punk: According to Mike, they’d have to retire. That means not working anywhere else.

Singles Match
Raven Star [w/Radikal] versus Zap
The match begins with Raven Star pointing to the championships on the announce table and reminding Zap he will never hold it again. So the high flying Australian decides to jump to the floor and grab the belt holding it over his head. Raven Star makes sure the official stops him from going after Zap while Radikal attacks him. Mike runs after Radikal and ends up chasing him up the ramp. Raven now has total control of the match. He works Zap over. He goes for Nevermore, but Zao grabs onto the rope. He starts a beautiful comeback, and things are starting to look good. Suddenly, Radikal runs back down to the ring. He jumps up on the apron to throw something to Raven, but Zap catches it. Zap uses the illegal object to knock Radikal off the apron before hitting Star with a power slam. He heads to the top. Flash Splash.
Winner, by pinfall, Zap

Heyman: And he did it without Heavy Mike.

Punk: I don’t think Zappy looks at it like that.

[Mike comes back down to the ring alternating between clapping and holding his neck. He raises Zap’s hand and puts his arm around him before they head back toward the locker room. Then Fireworks by Drake plays. The Dazzler makes his way down to the ring.]

Dazzler: You know? Ever since my first night in this business, I have been addicted to the spotlight. I have wanted to be in the main event. And Saturday night, the main event has bigger implications than any match before and probably bigger than any match ever will again. I’ve been FFCW World Champion before. I’ve challenged for the FFCW World Tag Team Championships with AM as my partner. I’ve done a lot of great things in this company and as my wife draws closer to giving birth to our child, I have to think about my legacy. I have to think about how I want to be remembered.

I decided to put CK behind me. I know I’m not supposed to say that name, but it is what it is. I’m not going to let that monster control my life. My life is going to be decided by my choices. I am not going to react to the musings of maniacs. I am going to set an example for my child. I am going to make my child proud. However, I called AM, and they don’t need me to be their partner.

So, I have one more lesson I want to teach my child. You see, to me, respect is one of the most important things in a person’s life. Respect property. Respect people. Treat others with respect, and Jeff, your heart may have been in the right place. I may have been acting in anger and fear, and I’m working through that, but when you talked to me the way you did, you disrespected me. And I cannot tolerate that. So at The Right to Remain Violent, I’m going to make you say “I respect you”, and if you want to hear it from me, you’ll have to beat it out of me.

[Dazzler exits the ring as Fireworks plays again.]

Mathews: Wow! jTj versus The Dazzler in an “I Respect You” Match?

Punk: I respect you, booker man.

Heyman: I’m not the booker here.

Punk: I know that…

Heyman:....Gosh, the storylines would be a lot better if I was the booker here.


Roberts: If Baker wins this match by pinfall, he will get a contract for a match for the FFCW World Championship at any time of his choosing.

[The crowd pops when Started from the Bottom by Drake begins to play. Shinobi Musashi comes through the crowd to a big ovation. He shadow boxes on the stage before making his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Two weeks ago, Shinobi earned the right to challenge The Kid at The Right to Remain Violent.

Heyman: We still don’t know what kind of match it’s going to be!

Mathews: I’ve been told we’re going to find out before the show is over tonight.

Singles Match
Shinobi Musashi versus Baker [Pin It to Win It]
The bell rings, and Baker begins to pose for the crowd. Shinobi proves to him that the crowd loves him more because of course they do. Baker uses this advantage to attack him from behind. He works over the number one contender for quite a while using some of his favorite Diesel spots. He goes for the Sweet Chin Music, but Shin gets out of the way! KO KICK! He goes for the pin. It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, Shinobi Musashi

[Shin asks for the microphone.]

Musashi: I’m not going to lie. When all of this went down last week, I talked to Cody and asked if I could pull double duty at the Right to Remain Violent. You have to remember, this all started with me. I was the one who first fought KJ. Holzhammer is the one who attacked me. I don’t want to let this end. I don’t want to see this company go by the wayside. I would even consider giving up my championship match to be the fourth man. This company means that much to me. Cody said no. He wanted me in the title match. So I texted Kid and told him he could choose the match.

[Congratulations by Post Malone plays, and The Kid walks on stage with Bambi.]

Kid: Shinobi out here plain makin’ me sick.
Beatin’ everybody with your KO Kick.
You think you’ll get my title on a silver platter,
But the truth is, you’ll have to climb the ladder.
Possession is the law, that’s the way it’s gonna be.
You’re fallen to New York’s Finest, the K-I-D!

[Kid walks right back out and Bambi follows him. Shinobi shakes his head ready for the fight.]

Heyman: The ladder match could very well take Shinobi’s KO kick out of the equation.

Punk: Not if he knocks his ass out.

-------

Roberts: The following contest is your main event. Per the edict of FFCW Owner, Cody, there is to be no interference, and the mystery partner of The Resistance must compete!

Mathews: I wonder who Game Over will send out for their opponent.

[The crowd boos as Game Over by Alexa Vega plays. Ness walks down to the ring.]

Punk: Imagine that. They’re sending Ness out here for a potential slaughter.

Heyman: He still has to prove himself. Besides, you have to save the big guns for war.

Roberts: AND NOW THE FOURTH MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE…

AM: JUSTIN IS YELLING!

RT: BECAUSE HE KNOWS….

WP: THIS IS A BIG EVIL MATCH!

HEYMAN: WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!

[THE CROWD LOSES THEIR FUCKING SHIT WHEN WILD THING PLAYS, AND BIG EVIL WALKS ONTO THE STAGE. HE’S GOT A BEER IN HAND AS HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN TO THE RING.]

PUNK: OH MY GOD! YES! I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN!

MATHEWS: I DIDN’T EVEN CONSIDER BIG EVIL!

THE FUCKING MAIN EVENT
NESS [GAME OVER] VERSUS BIG EVIL [THE RESISTANCE]
NESS LOOKS FURIOUS TO SEE BIG EVIL BACK IN FFCW, BUT HE STILL RUNS INTO A BIG BOOT LIKE A LITTLE BITCH. EVIL PICKS HIM UP AND HITS HIM WITH A FUCKING COKESLAM. YOU MAY HAVE READ THAT RIGHT. EVIL PICKS HIM UP BY THE NECK AND POWER BOMBS HIM! IT’S FUCKING OVER.

I'm sorry you view your character as a jobber. In my head, the character is so unique he's one of those characters who "didn't need to win". You're over no matter what.

Exactly what WWE has been telling (or told, now, I guess) Zack Ryder all these years.

[The theme song from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly plays. A white limousine pulls in. It opens, and The Resistance get out. RT, AM, WP, and Big Evil walk side by side in white and black camo pants, combat boots, and cut off t-shirts that say “The Resistance” on the front and Save FFCW on the back. They walk shoulder to shoulder toward the camera.

Then, at another side of the building, a black limousine pulls up. The driver gets out to open the door, and GAME OVER get out. KJ, Holzhammer, PB, and Ness walk side by side wearing black pants, black wrestling boots, and black t-shirts that say “GAME OVER” on the front. KJ is wearing a blazer. Holzhammer is wearing his normal trench coat. They other two don’t have anything over the t-shirts. Suddenly, Tito Santana runs into the shot.]

Santana: KJ! KJ! KJ! I’ve been trying to get a hold of you all week.

PB: We’re kinda doing a thing right now.

Santana: It’s urgent. I need to talk to management.

KJ: Haven’t you heard old man? I’m no longer the General Manager.

Santana: Then who is?

KJ: You need to go find Cody.

[Tito Satana runs off as Holzhammer stares him threateningly.]

KJ: We need to make sure this company ends tonight. For good.

[He turns to PB and grabs him by the shirt.]

KJ: You know what you need to do. You are not going to let me down, are you?

PB: I’m going to do what I need to do.

[PB walks away.]

Holzhammer: What he should have done to begin with.


THE RIGHT TO REMAIN VIOLENT/I]

[The camera pans down the entry way into the two rings before panning up to the cage above. It then switches to Josh Mathews and CM Punk.]

Mathews: Welcome to the Right to Remain Violent! Welcome to what could be the very last FFCW Event ever.

Punk: And it’s going to be a good one because Paul Heyman isn’t here!

Mathews: That’s right. Cody has given us a two man booth again, so we’re very happy about that. We’ve got eight huge matches tonight, and we’re not wasting any time!

[The crowd boos when Riders on the Storm plays as The Unionjacks, WMS and Franchise make their way down to the ring.]

Punk: Josh, I think you misspoke.

Mathews: What do you mean?

Punk: You said we weren’t wasting any time.

Mathews: Hey, if nobody accepts the challenge, do you want to get in there?

Punk: No.

[WMS takes a microphone.]

WMS: So I figure after we win tonight, we will be in line to challenge the winners of the Tag Team Championship Match. Let’s get this over. Which jobbers are we kicking the asses of?

[The music starts playing.]

Mathews: What? No way!

SUPERKICK PARTY![/i]

[The crowd cheers as The Young Bucks make their way down to the ring.]

Punk: I find this hard to believe! The Young Bucks in FFCW?!

Mathews: Friends of Cody. Members of The Elite. I love it!

Open Challenge
The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise] versus The Young Bucks [Matt and Nick Jackson]
WMS and Franchise are arguing about who is going to start the match. Matt and Nick Jackson hit them both with Superkicks! Nick throws WMS over the top rope while Matt pins Franchise. 1...2..3!
Winners, by pinfall, The Young Bucks [Matt and Nick Jackson]

Mathews: Did the bell even ring?!

Punk: Those guys obviously aren’t getting paid by the hour!

[The Young Bucks high five several of the fans again before walking up the ramp. WMS goes over to the announce table and takes Josh’s headset off.]

WMS: They don’t even bloody go here! This is fuckin’ rubbish! I hate this company!

Punk: Dude. Same.

[Franchise gets carried to the back by security while WMS stomps up the stair.]

Punk: Those superkicks were really well protected.

Mathews: Does anyone even use a superkick here?

Punk: I don’t think so.

Roberts: The following contest is the Pin It to Win It Scramble Match! It can only be one by pinfall! Already in the ring, Mal, Baker, GCB, and Greg!

Mathews: Where’s Tito Santana?

Punk: He’s not in the scramble, is he?

[The lights go out. Lucifers Hymn by Peter Gundry begins to play. Women in white dresses holding candles begin to appear throughout the arena. Gran Fantasma IV seems to float down to the ring through low lying smoke. He’s covered in white shrouds with a huge mask. He throws his arms up in the air conducting the music. He drops his arms as the girls blow out the candles and the lights go out. When the lights come back on, he’s wearing white parachute pants and a much smaller mask.]

Roberts: From Guadalahara, Mexico, by way of High Energy Lucha Libre, Gran Fantasma IV!

Punk: Why does this guy get an entrance?

Mathews: Because it’s cool.

Punk: You ever notice it’s exactly the same every time?!

Mathews: Do you want to type it all out every time? You’ve obviously never been in an e-fed.

Punk: Can we talk about how Gran Fantasma has an opportunity at a World Championship Match in his third match?

Mathews: He’s lost every match he’s been in.

Pin It to Win It
Pinfall Only Scramble Match
Baker versus GCB versus Gran Fantasma IV [HELL] versus Greg versus Mal
The referee calls for the bell. The lights go out. They come back on, and Fantasma is gone! Baker attacks Greg while Mal goes right after GCB. They throw them out of the ring, and they come face to face. They jaw jack a bit before Baker misses a right. Mal hits him with an atomic drop! Greg comes in flailing. Mal hits him with an atomic drop and he holds his ass as he jumps over the top rope. GCB slides in. He swings at Mal who catches him with an atomic drop! Baker slides in and hits Mal with Sweet Chin Music! He struts around the ring when Greg slides in and walks right into Sweet Chin Music. Baker goes for the pin...The lights go out! They come back on, and Fantasma is standing in the middle of the top rope. 630 onto Baker and Greg! GCB comes in...Brainbuster! Mal slides back into the ring, and Fantasma gives him a Brainbuster as well! He hits Baker with a Brainbuster before he heads to the top rope. 630 Splash on Greg. 1..2...3!
Winner of the Pin It to Win It Contract, Gran Fantasma IV [HELL]

[Tito Santana comes down to the ring.]

Santana: Where’s Cody? I need to find Cody!

[The lights go out. Fantasma and the briefcase are gone. Baker hits Tito with Sweet Chin Music before stomping up the ramp.]

Punk: Why did he assault Tito Santana!?

Mathews: I have no idea. Why is Tito looking for Cody?

Punk: No clue, but Josh, Pin It to Win It is finally over! And a guy who was in the pool for less than a week won!

Mathews: I guess the question now is; when will Gran Fantasma IV cash in?

Punk: And if Game Over wins tonight, will he even get the chance?

Roberts: The following contest is an Absolute Victory Match for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship! The first man to score pinfall AND submission will be the champion.

[The crowd pops when Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne plays. System comes through the curtain to a huge ovation. He slaps hands with many people before rolling into the ring.]

Mathews: This series of matches has been built around respect. Two top athletes who have all of the respect in the world for each other.

Punk: It really is a sports fan’s rivalry, but you have to think it comes to an end tonight.

[The crowd stays hot when In The Castle by Wolfmother plays, and WMVP walks through the curtain. The camera focuses on the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship before slowly panning out onto the man wearing it. He walks down to the ring, all business.]

Mathews: You would have to think this is System’s last shot.

Punk: They’ve essentially been a two man division for three months purely because they’ve been so close in terms of ability and action.

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship
Absolute Victory Match
System versus WMVP ©
The bell rings, and the match begins with a handshake. The two clearly have a lot of respect for each other. System holds onto the handshake, picks WMVP up...Australian Stampede! He goes for the pin. 1..2...3! System scores a pinfall. The crowd is shocked by the quick pin out of the gate. System gets back to his feet and waits for WMVP to pull himself up. The World Traveller claps politely for his Australian counterpart’s feat. System then runs at him with a big clothesline. The crowd is somewhat awed by the aggression from the big man. He stays on the offense with a series of backbreakers. He actually goes for a pin, but the official reminds him he’s already scored his pin. He picks WMVP up and Irish whips him into the corner. He comes in with a big splash before picking him up onto the top turnbuckle. WMVP starts fighting him off as he goes for a super plex...WMVP gets around him. AVALANCHE REVERSE RANA! He goes for the pin. 1...2…! WMVP scores a pinfall! The winner of the match will be whomever can score a submission! WMVP begins to deliver a series of kicks to the big man. He falls onto his back and rolls onto the floor. WMVP goes off the ropes and does a suicide dive to the floor, but System catches him and throws him into the security rail. Both men are down, but there are no count outs. System finally grabs him by the hair and throws him into the ring. System comes in, but WMVP was playing possum. He puts System in a small package, but he then transitions that into the Viaje Vice! System is screaming out in pain. The official asks him if he wants to give it up, but he yells ‘No’. He starts trying to flail with all of his might and powers out of the move. System is shaking his head, almost not believing he did it. WMVP is using the official to pull himself up. He undoes the referee’s belt and swings at System with it! System ducks and then uses the belt to deliver a cobra clutch slam! WMVP hits himself with the belt in the process! Systematic Demise! The official checks on him. HE’S OUT!
Winner, by submission, and NEW FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System!

Mathews: I never thought we’d see WMVP try to cheat…

Punk: To be fair, there were no disqualifications, but I agree. The move was extremely uncharacteristic for him.

Mathews: And just like that, System becomes a three time Sub-Forum Champion!

Punk: Amazing what can happen to a guy when he books the promoter on his podcast.

Mathews: What?! Can we get a camera back there? OK. We’re trying to get a camera back there.

Punk: What? For what?

[The cameras cut to the back where WP is lying in a pool of what looks to be blood. Medics are surrounding him.]

Medic: Sir. Sir. I’m going to move you. Be careful. Can you tell me your name?

WP: What?

Medic: Can you tell me your name?

WP: OWWW! FOOK!

Medic: Sorry. Get those cameras out of here! He’s hurt. Somebody get some more help!

[The cameras cut back to the announcers.]

Punk: This kind of shit always happens.

Mathews: I wonder what The Resistance will do short one.

Punk: Well, there are a lot of guys who were volunteering on the last episode of Quake. Maybe they will step up.

Mathews: Well. We can only hope.

Roberts: The following contest is Championships versus Careers, and it is for the FFCW World Tag Team Championships! There are NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!

[The crowd pops as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. However, nobody comes out.]

Mathews: That’s weird.

Punk: Maybe whoever attacked WP got them too.

Mathews: Maybe we’ve got bigger problems on our hands.

Punk: This isn’t like them.

[The AC/DC tune finally stops when Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana plays, and Radikal and Raven Star appear atop the upper bowl. Suddenly, Heavy Mike and Zap appear behind them with kendo sticks! They hit them with the sticks at the top of the stairs. Mike throws Raven Star down the stairs. Zap tries to do the same, but Radikal stops himself.]

Punk: These guys aren’t waiting!

Mathews: How can they?! Their careers are on the line!

Punk: Can we ring the bell?

Mathews: They’re fighting! I don’t see why not.

FFCW World Tag Team Championship Match
Careers versus Championships
The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap] versus The Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star]
The bell rings, and they are still fighting in the stairway. Mike rushes down the stairs and proceeds to hit Raven Star with a Thesz Press as he starts to get to his feet. Meanwhile, Zap and Radikal are having a fist fight at the top of the stairs. The referee scrambles to get over the barricade and remind them pinfalls only count in the ring. Mike proceeds to pick Raven Star up and scoop slam him on the cement. Radikal then grabs a chair and throws it at Mike who’s at the bottom of the stairs. It hits the big man in the elbow, and the fans are scrambling to get out of the way. Zap picks up a chair to hit him, but Radikal kicks Zap between the legs and takes the chair. He proceeds to throw Zap down the stairs. He picks up another chair and throws it at Mike. The official is freaking out trying to get the fans out of the way. Radikal drives a chair into the face of Heavy Mike until his forehead is busted open. Raven Star starts to get to his feet, and they both work to pick up the big man. They throw him into the barricade. They lift him up and throw him over the barricade. They pick up the stairs and drop them on him. They both sit on the stairs on top of Mike. The official tells them to get into the ring. Raven Star throws the big man in while Radikal grabs a chair. Mike tries to start fighting his way back to his feet. Raven tries to hit Nevermore quickly, but Mike picks him up. He lands on his feet and puts Mike in a full nelson! Radikal swings for the fences with the steel chair, but Mike moves and he takes out his own partner! Radikal swings again though and hits Mike! RAD-I-KILL on the big man! He goes for the pin! 1...2...NO! Zap hits him with the Flash Splash to break the pin! He puts Radikal on the mat. 1...2..3!!!
Winners, by pinfall, and NEW FFCW World Tag Team Champions, The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]

[The referee brings them the titles. Mike throws his over his shoulder with a tear in his eye. He reaches out for Zap who ignores him and makes his way up the stage.]

Punk: Did Zap seem a little cold to you?

Mathews: Maybe he didn’t see him…

Punk: Maybe.

Part 1 of 3

1.) Damn, son. Sami as an avatar? I forget who my old one was but that's an upgrade. In truth, it could be anybody as long as it's not Baron f'ing Corbin...
2.) Nirvana's cover of "Man Who Sold The World" as an entrance theme? I love that song.
3.) STO is one of, if not my favorite of finishing maneuvers. Radikiller? That's fucking awesome. You have good intuition, sir.
4.) I remember most of this but had forgotten over time. FFCW for the win.

Just started reading the first show but wanted to post all that before I forgot. Love everything about this.

EDIT - Did Raven Star used to go by just Raven? Otherwise I have no idea who that is, lol.

Yeah, Star means asterisk since Raven used to be Raven* (I think).

This because it was like, the only person I could give a first and last name to since most of you fuckers are just initials and I get tired of writing PI 87 times in a five paragraph match.

Roberts: The following contest is an “I Respect You” Match. The contest will continue until one man utters the words “I respect you” to his opponent.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Fireworks by Drake plays. The Dazzler makes his way down to the ring with a distracted look on his face.]

Mathews: Dazzler did what he thought he had to do with CK, but now he’s crossed paths with a legend.

Punk: Am I a dick if I think Jeff should maybe just mind his own fucking business?

Mathews: What do you mean?

Punk: He’s gotta do all of this old fashioned John Wayne BS all the time.

[The crowd pops when God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash plays. jTj makes his way through the curtain. ]

Mathews: We haven’t seen jTj in action since he lost the FFCW World Championship to The Kid.

Punk: He came back out of nowhere to virtue shame The Dazzler.

Mathews: I think he just wants to encourage Dazz to take the right path.

Punk: Why is that his decision?

”I Respect You” Match
The Dazzler versus jTj
jTj offers Dazzler a handshake, but the younger man turns his back to him. Jeff puts his hand on his shoulder trying to turn him around. Dazz grabs his arm and does a judo throw over his shoulder. He backs up and yells at him to get up and fight. jTj starts to get up to his feet, and they engage in a collar and elbow tie up. They both push, and neither man can get the advantage. They finally break the hold, and Dazzler slaps him right in the face. He’s trying to get under the skin of the Cowboy. jTj holds his face and shakes his head, and Dazzler hits him with a running Thesz Press taking him down and throwing some stiff punches that would be illegal in any other match. Dazzler then goes over to the corner and leans there waiting for Jeff to get up. jTj gets up and slowly wipes the spit off his face. He walks right up to Dazzler and yells “Hit me!” Dazzler slaps him. Jeff then rips Dazzler’s shirt open and begins to chop him on the chest. He then proceeds to rapid fire chop him in the chest. He then hits him with a brutal uppercut. He lifts Dazzler up onto the top rope. Superplex. He then goes over to get the microphone.

jTj: Let’s get this over, son.

Dazzler: Call me son one more fucking time, and you’re going to have to extract your cowboy boot from your anus.

jTj then takes his cowboy boot off and hits Dazzler in the head with it. He then begins to grind the boot into Dazzler’s head. The crowd seems somewhat divided. He picks him up by the hair and drops him with a scoop slam. Dazzler holds his neck in pain while jTj goes to the floor. He grabs a bull rope with a bell on it and throws it into the ring. He then grabs a trash can throwing that into the ring as well. Then, he pulls a table out. jTj sets up the table on the floor. He slides into the ring and begins to drive the cowbell into Dazz’s head until he’s busted open. He drops the cowbell. He picks Dazzler up and throws him into the corner. He looks like he may be going for another superplex, but he changes directions. He’s going to try and suplex him to the floor! Dazzler drops down and slides between his legs. POWER BOMB OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE! The John Wayne of FFCW is not moving! Dazzler slides into the ring and grabs the cowbell which he throws right at jTj. He then grabs the trash can and throws that down on him.

Dazzler: It’s time to send you back where you came from old man!

Dazzler instead of going to the floor goes to the top rope. He’s going to jump into the wreckage! Suddenly, a production assistant comes running down to the ring. He jumps on the apron trying to get The Dazzler’s attention. The referee tells him to get down at first, but he calls the referee over. The official then gets Dazzler’s attention who is about to jump off the top rope. He gets down from the top and listens to the production assistant. He suddenly has a concerned look on his face as he hops out of the ring and power walks up the ramp. The official goes over to jTj. He uses the official’s shoulder to pull himself up.

Mathews: What the hell is going on?

Punk: I don’t know. Dazzler just walked out on the match.

jTj: So you mean to tell me that The Dazzler just walked out on this match? After everything I’ve done for him. After everything this business has done for him. The DAZZLER decided to walk out on this match because his wife is in labor. He put the birth of his child ahead of this business. He put his family ahead of this business. I have to say it, Dazz...I respect you.

Winner, The Dazzler

Mathews: Wow! The Dazzler is now The Dadler!

Punk: This is a heartwarming moment, but that was awful.

Mathews: You’re...probably right. We’re going to send it back to Cathy Kelley who is standing by with one of the teams for our main event.

[The camera cuts to the back where GAME OVER is standing around Cathy Kelley.]

Kelley: Gentlemen-

KJ: Why do you still work here? It doesn’t matter. Either way, you’re not going to work here at the end of the night. No one is going to work here at the end of the night because we’re going to take out this company. The futile resistance doesn’t even have a full team because PB did what he needed to do. He did what he should’ve done a LONG time ago, and he dropped WP like a bad habit. Tonight, my loyal soldier will start the War Games Match. He will be responsible for the fate of this company.

PB: I will accept total responsibility for the fate of this company tonight. There will be no doubt where my loyalty lies when this night is over. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with the men whose ideals match my own.

Ness: My life has mirrored a game for as long as I can remember. Tonight, this game ends. Roll credits.

Holzhammer: Hell on earth is all I ever wanted.

[They all laugh grimacing as Cathy looks very uncomfortable. The cameras cut back to ringside.]

Roberts: The following contest is an Abingdon Street Fight!

[The crowd boos as Must Be the Money by Nelly plays, and T-Money walks through the curtain. He has his fists taped and somewhat surprisingly is not donning any bling. Bambi strolls out behind him, but he turns around and tells her to go back. They argue a bit, but she eventually complies.]

Mathews: What do you think is the motivation behind sending Bambi back?

Punk: He wants to prove himself. A lot of people say he’s become a shell of his former self. AM called him a bitch, and others have called him The Kid’s lap dog.

Mathews: Well, he’s certainly going to have the chance to do just that in this encounter.

Punk: Call it whatever you want. I think the street fight atmosphere is going to favor T-Money.

[The crowd pops when Sharp Dressed Man plays, and JJ walks through the curtain to a big ovation. He’s wearing tight fitting jeans instead of his usual white tights. He marches down to the ring with a baton in his hand.]

Mathews: JJ came armed ready to fight T-Money here tonight.

Punk: This one could be wild!

Abingdon Street Fight
T-Money versus JJ
The match starts with JJ going right after T-Money swinging at him with the metal baton. He hits him in the shoulder before proceeding to hit him in the back with it several times. He pretends to conduct a parade before he punches him in the face. He uses the baton to trip T before driving the baton into his chest several times. The crowd is popping for JJ’s new found sense of brutality. He drops the baton before mounting T and delivering a series of punches. He throws a myriad of rights and lefts, and it’s clear the referee’s instinct is to try and break it, but there is nothing he can do about it. He goes off the ropes and delivers an elbow drop. He then turns to the crowd to pander a bit. T gets to his feet and grabs him from behind for a back suplex of atomic drop, but JJ lands on his feet. He pushes Shinobi into the ropes and then drops him on the middle rope beginning to choke him. He then pulls the rope up causing T-Money to crash into the mat neck first.

Mathews: We’re seeing a side of JJ we’ve never seen before.

Punk: Ever since T-Money cost him the World Championship a month ago, we’ve seen a whole new side of him.

Mathews: We have to see if the mean streak will pay off.

Punk: I have to say he’s surprised me so far.

JJ goes for the Boston Crab early. He tries to turn him over, but T-Money kicks him off. The big man gets to his feet and takes the Brit down with a spinebuster. He goes off the ropes and drops a big leg drop. He picks him up and looks like he will be going for the Moneymaker early. He has him between his legs, but JJ reverses it sending T on his back. The Most Money Making Man gets back to his feet. He ducks a charge from JJ and sends him over the top rope. T-Money then jumps to the floor. He looks down at JJ before looking under the ring. He grabs something, but he puts it down. JJ is getting to his feet, and T hits him with an uppercut before throwing him into the ring.

Punk: I think that was a big mistake. He had him right where he wanted him. He could’ve done some serious damage out there.

Mathews: Why do you think he didn’t?

Punk: I almost wonder if he feels like he has something to prove.

Mathews: What can he prove if he doesn’t win the match?

T-Money looks under the ring again, but he steps back. JJ comes to the floor with a suicide dive! He then grabs a camera cable and begins to choke T with it on the floor. He finally wraps the cord around his neck and throws him into the steel stairs. JJ, breathing hard, looks at his own reflection in the steel stairs. He grabs T-Money and throws him into the ring. Bambi starts walking down to the ring. JJ doesn’t see her, but he hits T with Roll the Dice. He hooks the leg. 1...2...NO! T-Money kicks out! JJ gets up and sees Bambi. He yells at the official telling him to eject her. He raises his arms saying there is nothing he can do. She slides her purse into the ring. T looks at it, and he walks right past it. He goes over to her. “Get the FUCK out of here! I don’t need you! I told you I wanted to do this by myself!” JJ grabs the purse, and he is thinking about using in. He cocks it back, but as he goes to stop himself, T-Money walks right into it!

Punk: JJ just hit T-Money with Bambi’s purse!

Mathews: I don’t think it had the full effect of whatever was in there, but it definitely caught him.

Punk: T-Money basically told Bambi he wanted nothing to do with her.

Mathews: I wonder how she feels about that.

JJ picks T-Money up, and he hits him with a back breaker. And another one. And another one. He then signals he’s going to put him away! Boston Crab in the middle of the ring. He’s wrenching on the back. He’s telling him to give it up. T-Money is sweating. He may be crying, but he’s not quitting. Bambi jumps up on the apron. JJ breaks the hold to go over and tell her to get off the apron. She swings at him, and he pushes her off the apron. T-Money comes back toward him, and he hits him with a spine buster before applying the Boston Crab again. He’s got it locked in. The official is in position. T-Money is writhing in pain. JJ is starting to look frustrated. He has the hold locked in in the middle of the ring, but T isn’t quitting. He won’t tap. Finally, JJ breaks the hold. He goes to the corner and bows his head as T-Money holds his back in pain. He grabs his legs again. He’s thinking about doing it one more time, but he clearly has doubt in his eyes. He decides to go for a bridging pin instead. 1...2...3!
Winner, by pinfall, JJ

Punk: I’m going to stand up and clap for him. If that was his last match, that was a hell of a way to go.

Mathews: JJ getting the win in the Abingdon Street Fight, and you have to think he gained a modicum of respect for T-Money.

[JJ stands with his hand raised. He looks down at T-Money, and he nods his head. He starts to clap before he offers T-Money his hand. T accepts the help. He claps for JJ and pats him on the shoulder. He exits the ring, and Bambi starts berating him. He ignores her as she screams and cusses at him all the way up the ramp.]

Mathews: Bambi is clearly unhappy with the sportsmanship shown by T-Money.

Punk: She should be more unhappy the make-up ladies let her come down to the ring looking the way she does. She looks like she followed the Tasmanian Devil through an Ulta.

Mathews: Well, I’m told we have commotion in the back.

[Cody is talking to some production staff when Tito Santana comes into the shot with an ice pack on his head.]

Cody: Tito, my man, I hear you’ve been looking for me.

Santana: Cody, I’ve been looking for you all night.

Cody: Yeah, man, I’ve been busy, what’s up?

Santana: I didn’t want to come to you until I was sure.

Cody: Sure of what.

Santana: I’ve been checking with a lot of people. I did my research.

Cody: Tito, we’re running a pay per view here, please, cut to the chase.

Santana: Nobody’s heard of High Energy Lucha Libre.

Cody: What?

Santana: The number of the guy who called me is disconnected. I have no idea who it was. I’ve looked online. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist.

Cody: Then who the hell is that guy?

[The camera cuts back to Justin Roberts.]

Roberts: The following contest is a ladder match for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd pops when Started from the Bottom by Drake plays. Shinobi Musashi shadow boxes on the stage under the spotlight before heading down to the ring. He enters the ring, and takes off the boxing robe which has “NEXT CHAMP” on the back of it.]

Punk: Shinobi Musashi could very well become the last FFCW World Champion tonight.

Mathews: He’s gotta beat The Kid first.

Punk: Gran Fantasma IV could become the last FFCW World Champion tonight.

Mathews: Yeah. What the hell was that all about?

[The crowd boos as Congratulations by Post Malone plays. The Kid walks through the curtain in a pinstripe suit with a fedora on. Bambi is on his shoulder in a different dress. They walk down to the ring. He takes off the pants to reveal new gear, and he puts the hat and jacket on her.]

Mathews: Why is he dressed like that?

Punk: This is his Wrestlemania, Josh.

FFCW World Championship Match
Ladder Match
Shinobi Musashi versus The Kid © [w/Bambi]
The bell rings, and The Kid runs at Shinobi with a double axe handle. He sticks his forearm on Shinobi’s throat and calls for Bambi. She runs over and pulls handcuffs out of her purse. Musashi realizes what they’re trying to do and immediately starts trying to fight out. Kid tries to hold his arm on the rope while Bambi tries to lock on the cuffs. Shinobi gets an arm free and pulls Kid off of him. He grabs the cuffs and swings toward Bambi just enough to get her to let go. He then launches the handcuffs into the fifth row. He then begins to throw rights and lefts at the champion. He delivers an uppercut before throwing him with a hip toss. He follows up with a step-up enziguri. The crowd pops as the challenger points to the championship. Kid hits him with a forearm to the kidney to stop him from getting to the floor. Kid pulls himself to his feet and hits Musashi with a chop. Shin looks offended and retaliates with a super hard chop of his own. He then hits the champion with a snapmare before kicking him in the back of the head. Musashi goes to the floor in search of a ladder. He goes after one, but Bambi climbs on his back. He tries to shoo her off gently, but she applies a sleeper.

Mathews: Perfect time to remind you. Bambi is a trained wrestler who competes in some of the top all women’s promotions.

Punk: You’re saying that because she’s probably about to get bumped.

Mathews: Well, yeah. I don’t want it to appear like he’s attacking some poor helpless woman.

Punk: Hey, she is inserting herself in the match. There are risks involved in that.

Kid is beginning to get up and sees Shinobi vulnerable. He goes off the opposite ropes and hits Shinobi with a baseball slide dropkick causing him and Bambi to crash into the barricade. Kid realizes what he’s done and jumps to the floor. He throws Shinobi off of Bambi and asks her how she’s doing. Bambi immediately points out that Musashi is taking a ladder into the ring. They get up and grab the end of the ladder trying to stop him. Eventually, he lets go, and they both fall down embarrassing themselves. He jumps back out and grabs the ladder. Bambi rushes into the ring. He puts it on his head Terry Funk style and starts spinning. Bambi runs into it! Kid rolls into the ring and also feeds into it Bambi takes it again! The crowd is going crazy. He takes the ladder off his head and sets it up. He looks at the championship. He begins his ascent. Kid starts climbing the other side though! They meet at the top and begin to exchange strikes. Kid finally grabs him. He’s trying to suplex him off, but the challenger is resisting. Finally, Kid changes plans and hits a Twist of Fate off the ladder! Both men are down! Bambi is pulling herself to her feet in the corner, and she gets a wild look in her eye. She begins to position the ladder. She makes sure neither man is moving as she starts to climb the ladder. She gets a little over halfway when T-Money slides into the ring. He’s clearly favoring his back, but it doesn’t stop him from POWERBOMBING BAMBI OFF THE LADDER!

Punk: Well THAT is certainly one way to even the odds!

Mathews: T-Money has finally had enough of Bambi and The Kid! He’s become his own man!

Punk: Maybe now we’ll get a fair match for the FFCW World Championship!

Mathews: It’s basically been a handicap match up to this point.

T-Money helps Shinobi to his feet before jumping out of the ring. He grabs the lifeless Bambi and flings her over his shoulder. Musashi is watching with a bit of confusion when Kid hits him in the back of the head with the ladder. He hits him with the ladder until he is flat on the mat. He then opens the ladder and slams it on his knee. Kid then pulls the leg through the ladder in a variation of a half crab wrenching back. He’s clearly trying to take the KO Kick out of Shinobi’s arsenal. He goes off the ropes and hits No Kidding on the ladder causing it to snap down on Shinobi’s leg. He turns to the crowd who is absolutely disgusted as Shinobi holds his knee in pain. He then picks Shinobi up by his long coarse hair. He lifts him up for a bodyslam and sends him over the top rope. He then takes the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring. Kid starts to climb, and the ladder seems unstable. He jumps down and demands the official come in to hold the ladder. The referee rolls in and holds the ladder in place. He starts to climb, but he still thinks it’s too shaky. He takes it and throws it to the floor. He slides to the floor and drives Shinobi’s knee into the floor before pulling out a bigger ladder. He throws it in the ring and begins the ascent. However, Shinobi slides into the ring! He begins to climb up the other side of the ladder. He’s climbing one legged while Kid looks down in disbelief. Kid shakes his head before quickly scrambling to grab the belt. It slips out of his hand as Shinobi launches his leg over the top to knock Kid off the ladder with a KO Kick! The champion falls to the mat! Shinobi sits on top of the ladder and holds his knee for a second before reaching up and grabbing the championship!
Winner, by capturing the championship, Shinobi Musashi

Roberts: Your winner, and the NEWWWWWWW-

[THE LIGHTS GO OUT!]

Mathews: What’s going on?!

Punk: Someone didn’t pay the electric bill.

[The lights come back on, and Gran Fantasma IV is in the ring. He knocks the ladder over and levels Shinobi with his briefcase before handing it to an official.]

Punk: No way!

Mathews: This could be his only chance!

Gran Fantasma IV [HELL] versus Shinobi Musashi ©
Fantasma grabs Shinobi...Brainbuster! He jumps to the apron. Springboard 630! He goes for the pin. 1...2...3!
Winner, and NEW FFCW World Champion, Gran Fantasma IV

Roberts: Your winner and the NEW FFCW World Champion-

[THE LIGHTS GO OUT!]

Mathews: Now what?

Punk: Does anyone else have a title shot?

[The lights come back on…























PI is standing in the ring with the FFCW World Championship over his shoulder.]

Roberts: Your winner, and the NEW FFCW World Champion...PI.


Punk: You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

4.) I remember most of this but had forgotten over time. FFCW for the win.

Just started reading the first show but wanted to post all that before I forgot. Love everything about this.

EDIT - Did Raven Star used to go by just Raven? Otherwise I have no idea who that is, lol.

Yeah, Star means asterisk since Raven used to be Raven* (I think).

I'm no longer a star.

That's what happens when you drop the tag straps, brother.

[Part three starts in the back where RT, AM, and Big Evil are standing in front of the interview backdrop. Greg walks into the shot in his underwear.]

Greg: Later tonight-

AM: Stop. Why are you naked, and where is Cathy Kelley?

Greg: Well, they told me I needed to start showering after my matches, and Cathy interviewed the other team.

RT: Listen, Gregory, you’re going to have plenty of time to learn how to do a proper interview.

Big Evil: YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT HE WILL! BECAUSE TONIGHT, WE’RE GOING TO ROCK THOSE BITCHES LIKE THEY’VE NEVER BEEN ROCKED BEFORE. WE’RE GOING TO MAKE THEM BLEED, AND WE’RE GOING TO MAKE THEM CRY.

AM: Where did you meet this guy?

RT: AA.

AM: Of course you did. Listen, the fact of the matter is, tonight is going to be our night. This is not the end of FFCW. We’ve got a plan, and we’re going to win.

RT: You may have taken WP out of the equation, but there is a whole locker room full of guys-

[Shinobi Musashi limps into the shot.]

Musashi: This all started with me. KJ and Holzhammer targeted me. I want to finish this.

RT: Thanks but no thanks, champ...I mean...Former champ.

[Shinobi’s eyes widen.]

RT: You go ice that knee. We’ve got a plan in place. I was saying there are a whole locker room full of guys who want to see this thing come to fruition, and I, personally, think many of them will be surprised when they see who we’ve got up our sleeves. I can say it won’t be Shinobi. Thanks though.

[RT offers his hand, but Musashi limps out of the shot. Cody walks into the shot.]

Cody: You guys have someone?

Big Evil: YOU BET YOUR ASS WE DO.

Cody: Good. By the way, you lost the coin toss.

AM: Of course we lost the fucking coin toss.


Roberts: It is now time for our main event. If Game Over wins, FFCW closes its doors at midnight. If The Resistance wins, we finish our season. The match begins with two wrestlers who must fight for 5 minutes; after that, a member from one of the teams (usually determined by a coin toss) would enter the cage, giving his team the temporary handicap advantage. After two minutes, a member from the other team would enter to even the odds. This continues until everyone has joined the match. Then, the match beyond continues until someone submits. Introducing first!

[The crowd boos as Last Man Standing by Bon Jovi plays. PB comes through the curtain with a determined look on his face.]

Mathews: Just a month ago, PB and WP were arguably one of the greatest tag teams of all time.

Punk: I think PB showed his true colors and proved he was a spineless piece of shit when he went crawling back to KJ.

Mathews: And while it’s never been explicitly said, we’re pretty sure he’s the one who attacked WP.

Punk: And now, he’s trying to take all of our livelihoods away.

[The crowd pops when Seven Nation Army plays, and RT makes his way through the curtain. He runs down to the ring ready for war.]

War Games
The official calls for the bell as the two men enter the cage from opposite sides. RT runs off the ropes and dives over both ropes to crash into PB. He mounts him and begins to deliver a series of punches right into the mat. He smashes his head into the mat before he jumps up onto the top rope holding the cage and asking the crowd if they’re ready for more! PB gets up and goes behind RT looking for a Legacy Bomb. RT punches him in the head several times before getting down off the hoss. He Irish Whips him into the corner before coming in with a knee strike. He ripes open PB’s GAME OVER shirt to deliver a series of chops. The crowd pops, but then he misses a chop as PB ducks. He throws RT across the ring with a Saito Suplex. He then rushes over to apply a headlock. RT tries to get fired up, and he gets back to his feet. He slowly tries to power up. He throws elbows to the midsection. He powers out. He kicks PB in the midsection, and he hits him with the Beerblaster! 5...4...3...2...1!

[The crowd boos as Ness comes running down to the ring.]

Mathews: RT is in pretty good shape here.

Punk: The numbers are not on his side, though.

Ness comes into the cage, and RT moves to the other side to get some space. Ness looks down at PB, but he moves toward RT. They lock up, and RT applies an armbar. The Gamer of Game Over flips out of the hold. He then punches RT in the throat. He drops him with a DDT before getting up to signal for a chokeslam. He goozles him, and he lifts him over his head! Textbook chokeslam! He holds onto it clearly planning to Choke Slam Spam. He gets him up for another one when the Canadian kicks him in the midsection. RT gets free and starts throwing chops until PB hits him from behind with a double axe handle. Now, the power play comes into full effect as Ness and PB double team the only member of The Resistance. PB holds RT as Ness throws a series of punches and chops. 5...4...3...2...1!

[AM comes running down to the ring.]

Mathews: The former General Manager wants to see his vision out to the end. He brought FFCW back to give guys a job, let them work at a decent place, and entertain the fans. KJ doesn’t care about any of those things.

Punk: He definitely wants to kick these guys’ asses.

AM pops into the cage, and goes right after PB. RT hits Ness a few times then gets between AM and PB to take care of some business himself. AM goes over and kicks Ness in the midsection before applying the double underhook. He takes him to Mactown! He then runs into the corner and helps RT put the beating on PB. RT grabs the former Legacy member and hits him with the Beerblaster! He then grabs Ness and hits him with a Beerblaster as well! He then grabs AM, but he quickly realizes his mistake and stops. They hop onto the middle rope, and they shake the cage waiting for the next person to enter. 5...4...3...2...1!

[KJ walks through the curtain with a baseball bat in his hand.]

Mathews: The Real NoRTh AMericans were doing well, but KJ has a baseball bat.

Punk: I’m sort of surprised he’s not coming out last.

Mathews: A full strength Holzhammer coming in last is fucking scary though.

Punk: I’m not going to argue with that.

The Real NoRTh AMericans back up. KJ comes through the door, but PB and Ness attack them from behind. They hold the tag team as KJ takes shots to the stomach with the ball bat. He hits AM in the ribs several times. He then pops RT in the jaw, but it seems like it doesn’t quite connect. Ness and PB tie RT into the ropes as AM holds his ribs in pain. Ness grabs him, and he hits him with Game Over! PB smiles before lifting AM over his head for a Legacy Bomb! KJ slaps RT in the face before clapping for his two lackeys. He then picks AM up by the hair and delivers Idol Consequences! He holds him in the Boston Crab as Ness slides in to apply a crossface on AM. He is crying out in pain. 5...4...3...2...1!

[The crowd pops when WILD THING BY X PLAYS. BIG EVIL MAKES HIS WAY DOWN TO THE FUCKING RING.]

MATHEWS: IS THE WHOLE REST OF THE FUCKING MATCH GOING TO BE LIKE THIS?!

PUNK: GOD DAMN. I DON’T THINK SO.

MATHEWS: MAYBE IT WILL JUST LAST UNTIL HIS SHINE IS OVER.

PUNK: THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.

BIG EVIL CLIMBS INTO THE CAGE. HE LEVELS KJ’S LITTLE BITCH ASS WITH A BIG BOOT RIGHT TO THAT OVERINFLATED FUCKIN NOGGIN OF HIS. HE THEN GRABS NESS BY THE THROAT AND SLAMS HIM RIGHT INTO THE MAT WITH A CHOKESLAM LIKE HE’S DONE TOO MANY TIMES TO FUCKIN COUNT. PB COMES AT HIM, BUT HE KICKS HIS HEAD OFF. HE THEN PICKS HIM UP BY THE HAIR AND HITS HIM WITH THE BIG FUCKING BOMB. HE PULLS RT OUT OF THE ROPES, AND THEN….


The lights go out.

Mathews: I don’t think the time is up…

Punk: Did it just get colder in here?

[Carmina Burana plays, and when the lights come back on, Holzhammer is standing in the middle of the ring.]

Big Evil and Holzhammer lock eyes from opposite rings. The rest of Game Over are starting to pull themselves together. Holzhammer takes off his jacket. The Real NoRTh AMericans are taking a much needed breather as the two big men just watch each other. Big Evil steps over the top rope to the place where the aprons meet. He then walks by himself into the other ring. He walks right up to Holzhammer, and they are almost touching. Their teammates watch in wonder as the two dominant forces lock eyes. Holzhammer then hits him with one of his headbutts which always hit like a strike of lightning. Evil looks dazed, but he doesn’t go down. Holzhammer has a look of the devil’s fury in his eyes as he delivers another series of headbutts. He then wraps his hand around Big Evil’s throat, BUT BIG EVIL WRAPS HIS HAND AROUND HOLZHAMMER’S THROAT! There is a struggle, but KJ hits Big Evil with a chop block. Holzhammer then lifts him up and chokeslams him over the top rope into the chasm between the two rings. KJ and Ness immediately go to start kicking him down between the two rings. RT and AM come to his aid, but they are met by headbutts from Holzhammer. KJ asks for a microphone.

KJ: It’s over! You lied to Cody. You don’t have another partner. Even if you did, no one can stop us! This is the end! IT’S OVER! IT’S FINALLY OVER!

Mathews: Well shit. Maybe he’s right.

Punk: Don’t tell me you’ve given up hope, Josh!







"Here We Are! Born to be Kings! We're the Princes of the Universe!"






Mathews: That’s WP’s music...But I thought PB took him out earlier…

Punk: And that’s not WP’s music...That’s Legacy’s music…


WP walks through the curtain with a huge smile on his face. AM looks confused. Holzhammer and Ness look confused. KJ looks pissed, and PB has a stone look on his face.


KJ: You were supposed to take him out! You didn’t do it before. DO IT NOW!

PB goes into the other cage to meet WP.














He hugs him.



“I surrender!”





Winners, saving FFCW, The Resistance [RT, AM, WP, and Big Evil]

[Legacy dive over the ropes and start beating the shit out of KJ and Holzhammer. AM hugs RT before they start trying to pull Big Evil out from between the two rings.]

Mathews: WHAT A SWERVE! WHAT A SWERVE! PB WAS ON OUR SIDE THE WHOLE TIME! GOD DAMN IT!

PUNK: I NEVER SAW IT COMING! WE WON! I’M DOING A PEPSI KEG STAND ON THE TERRACE!

[KJ, Holzhammer, and Ness retreat up the ramp licking their wounds as The Real NoRTh AMericans, Big Evil, and Legacy celebrate in the ring.]

[The show opens by showing every member of the staff, crew, and roster in black and white. It then focuses on the empty ring. Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes plays as RT, AM, Big Evil, WP, and…PB make their way through the curtain. BIG EVIL IS WEARING A NECK BRACE WHICH MEANS YOU KNOW HE’S FUCKED UP BECAUSE HE AIN’T NO FUCKING BITCH. They high five everyone in the crowd. They even go into the crowd to hug some fans. They finally meet in the ring and exchange a bunch of high fives.]

RT: WE DID IT!

Big Evil: WE FUCKING DID IT, DADDY!

AM: I have to admit. I had my doubts. I’ll even be honest. I wasn’t in on the plan. I didn’t know we had a secret weapon, but I have to admit...I think I always believed. Now, I’m not the General Manager anymore. To the best of my knowledge, Cody will be taking a more hands on approach, but I will say this. The future of FFCW is bright. The end is still in sight, but we’re going to end it on our own terms.

WP: My best friend here, well, he delivered an Oscar worthy performance. You thought he was the little foot soldier. You thought he was a mindless puppet. You thought you could destroy Legacy again. But the Legacy destroyed you.

PB: I played your own ego against you, KJ. You thought you owned me. You thought you could control me. You couldn’t. It was too easy to make you believe. You underestimated me just like you always do. When I reunited with Will, I knew it would be forever. Games begin. Games end. This is not a game. This is FFCW.

[Then, Carmina Burana plays. Holzhammer walks on stage. He claps a few times. He takes a microphone out of his jacket.]

Holzhammer: I’m really just here to beat the piss out of people here now. You’re all much too happy for my liking. Who wants to die?

AM: You know, boys, start the party without me. It’s my dream to beat this old bastard ass’ one on one.

Mathews: What?!

Punk: That’s one hell of an opening match.

Singles Match
AM versus Holzhammer
They circle around each other for a bit. They go to lock up when Holzhammer hits him with a headbutt. AM looks a bit dizzy when Holzhammer grabs him and hits him with a flurry of headbutts. He then pulls him before hitting him with a ripcord headbutt known as the Hellhammer.
Winner, by knockout, Holzhammer

Mathews: We call him The Devil Himself, but he’s also the epitome of strong style.

Punk: I hope Cody didn’t have AM scheduled for anything else tonight because he might be done.

[Holzhammer walks up the ramp without a look of care as AM is helped out by security.]

Mathews: Well, I don’t really know what segment is coming next. We haven’t been given a format tonight at all.

Punk: We have no idea what’s happening tonight, and honestly, I like it better this way.

[The crowd pops as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. The Australian Electric Company make their way down to the ring in dress clothes with their championships draped over their shoulders. They enter the ring, and Mike asks for a mic.]

Heavy Mike: Last night, we did what we’ve been trying to do since we came back. We went head to head with the Men Who Sold the World. We came out looking for a fight, and we gave it to them. We pinned them one two three, and we earned these championships. We wanted so bad to give you guys tag team champions that cared about tag team wrestling, and that is why we put everything on the line!

[The crowd pops, but Zap puts his hand over the microphone. He then takes it out of Mike’s hand.]

Zap: Let the record clearly show. YOU put our careers on the line.

Mike: Zappy, we won. Who cares?

Zap: Who cares? I care, damn it. YOU put my career on the line. You had no right to do that.

Mike: So what? You’re going to throw down the title? You’re going to call an end to this team?

Zap: Fuck. No Mike. You’re missing the point. Stop trying to speak on my behalf. Understand something. We may be a team, and we’re a damn good team. I am still my own man though.

Mike: So am I.

Zap: All right. Maybe it’s time to see who the better man is?

Mike: Maybe it is.

[Zap offers his hand in a handshake. Mike accepts it. He then pulls him for a huge which Zap resists at first, but he eventually reciprocates.]

Mathews: What do you think that means, Punk?

Punk: I think that means they’re finna fight.

Mathews: Did you just say finna?

Punk: I wish I hadn’t.

[The cameras cut to an FFCW logo. Cody walks in front of the logo.]

Cody: My name is Cody, and I am the owner of FFCW. I have a few announcements to make. First, I want to offer my congratulations to The Resistance. I am proud of them for winning the War Games at The Right to Remain Violent. I want to make it clear that Holzhammer, KJ, and Ness still work here. I want them to know that they have more dates on their contract, and I will honor them.

The next pay per view event will be called Dream On. It will feature a one night, eight man single elimination tournament to determine who will be the last man to challenge for the FFCW World Championship in the main event of the final FFCW event.

I have chosen six of the eight participants. Tonight, you will see the return of an FFCW staple, the Power Ten Match. The winner of the Power Ten Match will be the seventh participant, and that man will choose his own first round opponent. Enjoy.

Mathews: Wow! Huge announcements from Cody.

Punk: I cannot remember the last time we had a Power Ten Match.

Mathews: It used to be for a championship opportunity, but now it’s for a spot in this tournament.

[The crowd pops as Let Me Hear You Scream plays, and System makes his way through the curtain.]

System: So, Cody wants all of the champions to cut a promo tonight. That’s not really my speed. Fighting, on the other hand, is my speed. So why don’t we just make this an open challenge for the FFCW Sub-Forum Championship?

Mathews: All right! An open challenge!

Punk: Tell the guy in the truck to play “Cult of Personality”.

Mathews: Are you kidding?

Punk: Yeah. We don’t have a truck.

[The crowd boos as Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked plays. GCB makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: GCB came close to scoring a pinfall several times in Pin It to Win It. It’ll be interesting to see how he fares here.

Punk: He can win by pinfall or submission in this one.

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
GCB versus System ©
The two big men circle each other as the referee calls for the bell. They lock up, and the champion applies a headlock. He throws GCB down to the mat, and he has total control of the challenger. He turns him until his shoulders are down on the mat. The official gets into position, but GCB kicks out. He gets up, and GCB grabs him by the tights to pull him down. He delivers a series of forearms and other strikes. He even goes as far as to put boots to the champion. Boots. He goes for a pin with a handful of tights, but the official catches him. He argues with the zebra when System grabs him. Cobra Clutch Slam. Systematic Demise.
Winner, by submission, and STILL FFCW Sub-Forum Champion, System

Mathews: System is not the one to mess with.

Punk: He sure isn’t. He got that FFCW Sub-Forum Championship back, and I don’t think he’s going to let it out of his grip again.

Mathews: We saw every championship change hands at The Right to Remain Violent including seeing the FFCW World Championship change two times.

Punk: If you didn’t watch that pay per view, you’re not going to believe who the new FFCW World Champion is.

Mathews: Let’s send it to some pre-recorded comments from the FFCW World Champion, PI.

PI: The first night this company came back; I came down to the ring, and I said I was going to have one last run as the FFCW World Champion. And I did it. I fucking did it. I did it the way a hero does it. By any means necessary.

I stood by my boy scout friend and overcame every challenger. I fought a lunatic. I sacrificed myself against a lunatic. I catfished a Hall of Famer. I created an entire imaginary lucha libre promotion. I created a fake legacy. I won the Pin It to Win It contract. Shinobi Musashi beat The Kid and finally got the FFCW World Champion he deserved. Then I dropped him on his head. Because I deserved it more. It was all worth it because it got me this. It got me the richest prize in the business. The FFCW World Championship. I did it by any means necessary because that’s what heroes do.

I have nothing against Shinobi Musashi. I have nothing against The Kid. If they want to try and dethrone their hero...I’m right here. I have no problem being a fighting champion. After all, Cody Rhodes signed me to a fat new contract. That’s what you do for champions. That’s what you do for heroes.

Mathews: He’s certainly proud of himself.

Punk: I missed him, but I kind of hope Shinobi kicks his head off.

Mathews: Well, before we send it to the main event, I’m told we’re going to find out the first quarter final match in All Rhodes Lead to the End.

All Rhodes Lead to the End
Quarter Finals
jTj versus KJ

Cody: When I ask about the heyday of this promotion, everyone talks about The Triad. jTj, PI, and KJ. Now, I’ve seen the Power Duo, but I’m told The Triad was better.

AM: The Triad brought balance to FFCW. You had the white knight in jTj, the black sheep of KJ, and PI was the shade of grey. With jTj versus KJ, you get the match of ultimate good versus ultimate evil.

Mal: KJ was my favorite wrestler growing up. I remember meeting him when I was 14 years old. I was always a KJ guy.

Kid: I hate jTj. I also hate KJ. But I cannot deny they are two of the baddest cats to ever lace their boots.

Musashi: When I signed with FFCW, these were the two guys I wanted to fight. I had my match with KJ. I guess if I want to fight jTj, he’ll have to win this tournament.

Cody: One of my goals with All Rhodes Lead to the End is to have finals calibur matches in every match of the tournament. Seven main event quality matches. To me, this is one of those matches. Also, if these guys were on opposite ends of the bracket, you’d know the final. I want them to face off in an opening match.

Roberts: The following contest is a Power 10 match. Numbers 10 and 9 will start the match. Every sixty seconds, another competitor will join the match. This will continue until all ten have entered. Elimination occurs when a competitor is propelled over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. Introducing first, NUMBER TEN!

[The crowd pops as In the Castle plays. Former Sub-Forum Champion, WMVP makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: Imagine losing the Sub-Forum title and winning an opportunity at the FFCW World Championship the very next event.

Punk: Number ten is the worst spot, but it’s based on wins and losses at the pay per view.

Roberts: Number Nine!

[The crowd boos as Man Who Sold the World plays, and Raven Star comes down the steps through the crowd.]

Power Ten Match
All Rhodes Lead to the End Qualifying Match
WMVP and Raven Star lock up not being strangers to one another. WMVP clearly is still stinging from his championship loss, and he’s showing a new aggression we’re not used to seeing from him. He tries to get Raven over the ropes, but Star catches onto the bottom rope. He latches onto the bottom rope wrapping his arms and legs around it. He kicks him and kicks him, but Raven won’t let go. 5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: NUMBER EIGHT...Radikal!

Mathews: No music anymore?

Punk: Such an unnecessarily long transition.

Radikal jumps into the ring and begins to double team WMVP with Raven Star. Radikal sends him off the ropes. Rad-I-Kill! He then picks him up by the hair. Raven hits him with NEVERMORE! They then realize they’ve made it incredibly difficult for them to lift him up and get him over the top rope. They finally do it. WMVP is eliminated

Mathews: The Men Who Sold the World could get into this tournament just by eliminating everyone who comes out.

Punk: There are still seven more guys who need to join the match.

Roberts: NUMBER SEVEN...Heavy Mike!

The big boy runs down to the ring. He slides in. He throws Radikal with a belly to belly suplex! He hits Raven Star with a Saito Suplex. He feeds off the energy of the crowd. He grabs Radikal and hits him with a body slam. He picks him back up to throw him out, but Raven Star hits him with a chop block. They then start to double team the big man. They are trying to throw him over the top rope, but he is resisting. 5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: NUMBER SIX...ZAP!

The other half of the tag team champions runs down to the ring. The Men Who Sold the World are about to throw Mike over when Zap strikes both of them with lightning fast speed. He then…THROWS MIKE OVER THE TOP ROPE.

Punk: Zap eliminated his own partner!

Mathews: It’s every man for himself!

Zap shrugs at Mike. The big guy looks mad for a minute, but he ends up clapping for his partner. Raven turns him around and hits Nevermore! The former tag teams pick up the man who beat them and throw him to the floor. Zap is eliminated. 5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: NUMBER FIVE...SYSTEM!

Mathews: Another big challenge for Raven and Radikal who have been very dominant thus far!

Punk: And the Sub-Forum Champion has already been in action tonight.

System joins the fray, and he throws some big punches to Radikal and Raven Star. He goes to throw Star over, but Radikal makes the save. He chops Radikal a few times and tries to throw him over. However, Raven Star is right there to make sure it doesn’t happen. The two then double team System into a corner. Radikal jumps on the apron and holds him in place as Raven comes into the corner with an elbow. Then, they switch spots, and Radikal comes in with a Stinger Splash. 5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: NUMBER 4...T-Money!

Mathews: He had a hell of a battle with JJ. You know he’d love to be in this tournament!

Punk: To me, T-Money is one of those guys who’s been on the cusp of the next level for awhile, and his ability to gain the respect of the crowd may be the icing on the cake!

T-Money slides into the ring. He takes Raven Star down with a big boot! He then throws him over the top rope! Raven Star is eliminated. Radikal runs at him, but he ducks. He hits Radikal with a double axe handle and sends him into the ropes before dumping him over! Radikal is eliminated. T-Money then looks eye to eye with System. They lock up. 5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: Number 3...NESS!

Ness comes down to the ring with a steel chair in his hands. He slides in. He hits T-Money with the chair from behind. He then swings right at the Sub-Forum Champion. System moves out of the way. Ness almost hits the rope, but he stops himself in time. System looks relieved, but then, Ness actually connects with the chair shot. He throws System over the top rope. System is eliminated. Ness tries to take T-Money out. However, T-Money kicks the chair into him and throws him over the top rope. Ness is eliminated.

Mathews: T-Money is alone in the Power Ten Match, and there are only two entrants left.

Punk: It’s hard to say who they might be!

Roberts: Number Two...JJ!

Mathews: These two men went to war just a few nights ago.

Punk: And it ended with a handshake.

JJ makes his way down to the ring. He slides in, and he shakes hands with T-Money again. They circle around a bit before they lock up. JJ applies a headlock. T slips out and applies a headlock of his own. JJ reverses it again. Money lifts him up for a backdrop. Bambi runs down to the ring. She jumps on the apron. T-Money tells her to get away. Then, The Kid comes from through the crowd and dumps T-Money over the top rope. T-Money is eliminated. Shinobi Musashi comes running down to the ring and chases Kid through the crowd.

Mathews: Did JJ win? Is Kid or Shinobi the last entrant?

Punk: I don’t think so?

5...4...3...2...1!

Roberts: Number One...AM!

Mathews: I’d been told the numbers had changed a few times due to the Big Evil injury and other factors, but AM is in no condition to compete.

Punk: Don’t tell him that.

AM is making his way down to the ring when WMS comes behind him and throws him into the security wall. He slides into the ring and announces he’s the alternate for AM.

Mathews: I’m being told he’s right...He is the alternate.

Punk: He lost to The Young Bucks in twenty seconds. How is he an alternate?

JJ runs right at him. He delivers a series of strikes. These two are no strangers to each other. They faced off at Show Your Allegiance. WMS kicks him right between the legs. He goes to dump him over, but JJ lands on the apron. WMS tells them to ring the bell and play his music, but JJ dumps him to the floor!
Winner of the Power 10, JJ

Mathews: JJ did it! He gets one more chance at the championship!

Punk: He gets the seventh spot in the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament!

Mathews: He’s got one week to decide who his opponent will be!

Punk: Pick me!

[The show opens with Sharp Dressed Man playing. JJ makes his way down the ramp in a white suit.]

Mathews: JJ won the Power 10 Match last week, and he will get to choose his opponent for the first round of the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament at Dream On.

Punk: He could choose one of those Pin It to Win It dweebs, couldn’t he?

Mathews: I mean...He could, but Cody said every match in this tournament was going to be main event caliber.

Punk: Josh, you know we’ve had one or two stinker main events.

[JJ enters the ring and asks for the microphone.]

JJ: All Rhodes Leave to the End. That’s kinda cute, isn’t it? Seven main event caliber matches in a one night tournament to see who gets the last FFCW World Championship match. Funny thing is, I’ve been asking for one last FFCW World Championship Match for a while now. I got a gauntlet match against The Kid. I was in a triple threat number one contenders’ match, but this will most likely be, for all intents and purposes, my LAST shot. I could choose someone I know I could beat. I could choose Greg for crying out loud. Maybe I could even choose Cathy Kelley. Nah. That’s not my way. The reality is, if I don’t win this tournament, my last match in this tournament could be my last match. No promises. No guarantees. But it could be. So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to choose a man who I have a great deal of respect for. I’m going to choose a man who, in the last few weeks, has earned my respect first as a competitor then as a person. In the first round of the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament, I’m going to face T-Money.

Mathews: Whoa!

Punk: He chose the guy he beat last night, but I’m going to say he just barely beat him.

Mathews: We now know half of the field. jTj versus KJ and JJ versus T-Money will be two of the first round matches in All Rhodes Lead to The End.

Punk: We’re going to find out two more tonight, too, right?

Mathews: I do see a match announcement video on our run sheet tonight. I also see a rematch of the Right to Remain Violent co-main event as The Kid will face Shinobi Musashi tonight to determine who will face PI for the World Championship at Dream On.

Punk: That should be a good one. We’ve also got some random squash matches to build people up for programs that may not be clear yet.

Mathews: Fourth wall!

Punk: Where?!

Roberts: Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, Mal!

[The crowd boos as Game Over by Alexa Vega plays. Ness makes his way through the curtain with a disgusted look on his face.]

Punk: Is GAME OVER still a thing after War Games?

Mathews: It appears to be. Before Franchise joined The Unionjacks, he was still coming out to The Moderators theme, and they hadn’t been a stable in YEARS.

Punk: That’s true.

Mathews: Ness is going to be desperate for a win here after being on the losing side of War Games.

Singles Match
Ness versus Mal
The bells rings, and Ness makes his way toward Mal quickly. He’s immediately on the offense. He throws a lot of stiff strikes including a spam punch. He grabs him by the throat. Choke Slam Spam. He picks him up. Mal lifts him up for a back body drop. The crowd (and Mal) are shocked. He hits a series of offenses. He grabs him for Hotel Malifornia...Ness spins out of it. Gameover! Ness goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, Ness

[The official raises Ness’ hand and he motions toward his waist.]

Punk: Really? Motioning toward a non-existent championship. This is sloppy booking, even for you, AM.

Mathews: He was headbutted by Holzhammer last week.

Punk: I’m not accepting that excuse. I’m holding him to higher standards.

Mathews: Either way, it’s clear Ness is on his way to move up the ranks.

Punk: Why because he talked about the promotion on his podcast and won ONE match?

Mathews: Stop.

Roberts: Already in the ring, from In Your House, Baker!

Mathews: NXT In Your House is this weekend.

Punk: Mighty bold of you to assume this will get posted before Sunday.

[The crowd pops as Going Out in Style by Dropkick Murphys plays. RT makes his way through the curtain. He high fives several members of the crowd before rolling in the ring.]

Mathews: We’ve got a rare singles match for RT tonight.

Punk: You’ve gotta think since he’s sticking around that RT would love one more shot at the FFCW World Championship.

Mathews: He hasn’t been announced for the tournament yet, but we only know half the field.

Punk: The writing is on the wall though. He wasn’t in the Power 10.

Singles Match
RT versus Baker
The bell rings, and they’re about to lock up when RT goes to the corner and stands up on the middle role encouraging the crowd to cheer for him. They do. Baker seems offended by this, and he does the Shawn Michaels pose in the middle of the ring while RT looks a bit confused. RT goes to out pop him when Baker attacks him from behind. He works him over for awhile to a lot of heat from the crowd. He goes for the jacknife power bomb, but RT crawls between his legs. He pops back up. Beerblaster. It’s over.
Winner, RT

Mathews: Baker had control for a long time there, but RT picked up the victory.

Punk: A much needed victory-what is he?

[Greg walks on stage with his gear on, a suit jacket, and a tie around his neck. He is barefoot.]

Greg: Hey RT! Good win, winner! Old winner boy, you! Fellow Canada guy!

Punk: WHY IS HE OUT HERE WITH A MICROPHONE?!

Greg: Yo Justin- Justman. Justice man. Just Rob! Just robbin’ the banks.

Roberts: What?!

Greg: Did you introduce me yet?

Roberts: No.

Greg: Do it, man! JUST...DO IT!

Roberts: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the liaison to the Championship Committee, Greg.

Mathew: What?

Punk: Why?

Greg: You guys all know Cody? The Code Man? The Dashing Guy? The Natural? The Nightmare? You know, the sleepy boohoo nightmare guy? Cody? Cheat Code? Well, he’s a busy guy. He’s a businessman. He’s...busy. So he wanted to leave somebody in charge, and there were a lot of talented folks, but they all wanted more money...So he put me in charge! Cause I work for free. So as the justice said, I’m the Lia...Princess Leia...I’m the guy who passes on the word of the championship committee. They commit, and I communicate! How bout some more of the rassles! Heh.

Punk: PLEASE!

[Greg walks back to the back.]

Roberts: The following contest is a singles match!

[The crowd boos as Immigrant Song plays, and KJ makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: KJ has got to be in a bad mood. He was played by PB.

Punk: PB did what he had to do to save FFCW. I didn’t even think KJ was going to work the rest of the dates on his contract.

Mathews: I think Cody sweetened the pot with him by giving him jTj in the tournament for the last FFCW World Championship ever.

Punk: Imagine that visual. KJ holding the FFCW World Championship over his head as the credits roll for one last time.

[The crowd pops as In The Castle plays. WMVP makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: WMVP had a crisis of confidence of sorts at the Right to Remain Violent.

Punk: A guy who has always been a man of character tried to cheat when he went to use the referee’s belt.

Mathews: A win over KJ could be just what he needs to get his confidence back.

Punk: Hanging with KJ could be all he needs to stay relevant.

Singles Match
KJ versus WMVP
The bell rings, and they lock up. They chain wrestle a bit. WMVP gets control, and KJ quickly goes for the ropes. He jumps to the floor, and he seems frustrated. WMVP looks around. Suicide Dive to the floor! The former Sub-Forum Champion goes after him. He throws punches at the former GM before throwing him in the ring. He Irish whips him into the corner. Reverse Rana! He goes for the pin. KJ kicks out! He then starts throwing a series of strikes. He sends him off the ropes. Idol Consequences! WMVP doesn’t give up. KJ starts stomping on the back of WMVP’s head when he doesn’t quit. The official threatens to call for the DQ, so he rolls him over and goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, KJ

Mathews: KJ picking up a win on his way to the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament.

Punk: No disrespect to WMVP, but jTj is going to be a much bigger mountain for The Mastermind to overcome.

Mathews: Without question. KJ will have a huge challenge ahead of him when he challenges The John Wayne of FFCW.

Punk: We’re being relied on for a lot of transitions tonight.

Mathews: You’re right. It’s kind of a lot. Up next we have a tag team match.

[The crowd boos as Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana plays. Radikal and Raven Star make their way through the crowd to the ring.]

Mathews: Radikal and Raven Star have a pretty decent shot knight as they cash in their mandatory rematch clause.

Punk: After what we heard last week, I can’t help but wonder whether or not the champions are on the same page.

Mathews: I can’t imagine we’ll see these two win them again though.

Punk: God I hope not.

[The crowd cheers as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Heavy Mike and Zap come down to the ring with new gear. They have the championships over their shoulders, but they’re not interacting.]

FFCW World Tag Team Championship Match
Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap] © versus Men Who Sold the World [Radikal and Raven Star]
Raven Star hits Zap with Nevermore out of nowhere to start the match. He goes for the pin, but Zap kicks out. He drags him into the corner. The former champions work Zap over through a series of spots. They do a series of quick tags. Mike is trying to get the crowd behind Zap, which he is successful in doing. Zap reverses an Irish whip sending Radikal into Raven Star knocking him off the apron! He looks at Mike, but he decides not to tag him...He hits Radikal with a double knee in the corner before heading up top for a Shooting Star Press. He hooks the leg.
Winners, and still FFCW World Tag Team Champions, Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]

Mathews: He didn’t tag Mike in at all.

Punk: He clearly felt like he had something to prove.

Mathews: They talked last week about seeing who the better man would be.

Punk: That is a question I would love to hear answered.

Mathews: Well, I’m not sure when we’ll see those tag partners face off. It’s time to find out two more entrants in the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament.

All Rhodes Lead to the End
Quarter Finals
WP versus PB

Cody: When I envisioned this tournament, I didn’t know what was going to happen in War Games. I heard of the rivalry between PB and WP as enemies, but for whatever reason, it never culminated in a singles match. As far as I can tell, these two have been against each other in tag team matches, triple threat matches, and multiple War Games Match, but they’ve never faced off one on one.

KJ: I’ve always believed when it comes to Legacy, the phrase Good Friends, Better Enemies comes to mind. I’d love to see them tear each other apart.

Mal: PB versus WP? It’s the dream match that should’ve happened that never did happen.

Musashi: It never happened? Well, no one knows a man on this roster like WP knows PB and vice versa. It should be a banger.

jTj: The concept is every match is a main event, right? Well, it’s finally time the age old question was answered. What happens when Legacy explodes?

Cody: I fully expect these two men to continue being best friends and brothers on the other side of this. I hope they are, at least. One of them has the shot to be the man who is the final challenger for the FFCW World Championship.

Roberts: It is now time for your main event! The winner of the following contest will face PI at Dream On for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd boos as Congratulations by Post Malone plays. Bambi walks out first, followed by The Kid.]

Mathews: Kid went into the ladder match as champion, but despite his best efforts, he was unable to retain the championship.

Punk: His best efforts also included Bambi getting the tar beaten out of her.

Mathews: Honestly, his time is running out if he wants to get another shot.

Punk: This match is a must win for both competitors.

[The crowd erupts as Started from the Bottom by Drake plays. Shinobi Musashi comes through the curtain looking all business.]

Mathews: This man held the FFCW World Championship for less than ten minutes.

Punk: I believe only WP had a shorter reign the night The Dazzler ended up winning the championship.

Mathews: My point is...He would love to get his hands on PI.

Punk: No doubt about it.

Number 1 Contender’s Match [World Championship]
The Kid [w/ Bambi] versus Shinobi Musashi
The referee calls for the bell, and both men are throwing hard rights and lefts right out of the gate. The official nearly has to break them up. When he gets between them, Kid pokes Shinobi in the eye. He then uses this advantage to work him over for a while. He argues with the referee while Bambi chokes Shin on the middle rope. He finds the opportunity to go for No Kidding! Shinobi moves out of the way! He starts throwing a series of chops and strikes at The Kid. The crowd is firing up for the comeback. He goes for the KO Kick...Kid moves! They both get right in each other’s face...THE LIGHTS GO OUT! PI comes off the top rope with a corkscrew crossbody hitting both men! The referee calls for the bell!
No Contest

Mathews: He just ruined our main event!

Punk: Maybe he doesn’t want to fight either of these guys?

[He lifts Shinobi up...Brainbuster! Kid tries to retreat...Brainbuster! He jumps to the top when Greg walks on stage.]

Greg: Stop! Stop! Stop! I just got a text from Cody. Crap. I’m just supposed to read the text. Ok. PI! Because of your actions, the FFCW World Championship Match at Dream On will now be PI versus The Kid versus Shinobi Musashi in a Triple Threat Match! However, there is no guarantee that you will go in as the defending champion because you’ll be defending against both of them in singles match over the next two weeks!

Mathews: Wow! A huge announcement from Greg!

Punk: Surprisingly coherent, too.

Mathews: We’ll see you next week!

#BlackLivesMatter

[The show opens with Must Be the Money by Nelly playing. T-Money comes through the curtain to a huge ovation from the crowd!]

Mathews: We don’t know what our opening match is tonight, but how about the ovation for this man?!

Punk: He went from being one of the most hated men on the roster to one of the most loved in a relatively short time.

Mathews: We also know that he will face JJ in the first round of the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament.

Roberts: And his partner…

[The crowd pops again as Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top plays, and JJ makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: That JJ!

Punk: These two guys will be fighting for their right to the last FFCW World Championship Match in just over two weeks.

Mathews: Tonight, they’re partners.

Punk: But against who?

[The crowd explodes when Princes of the Universe by Queen plays. PB and WP make their way through the curtain.]

Mathews: Ok! This makes sense!

Punk: I kinda like it. Two sets of guys who are fighting in the first round having to work together as teammates first.

Mathews: This is the first time we’ve seen Legacy team since PB orchestrated the swerve that saved the company.

Punk: I’m excited to see them on the same page.

Tag Team Match
Legacy [WP and PB] versus T-Money and JJ
Both teams shake hands before the matches start. T-Money and PB lock up to start the match. T uses his height advantage to get control. He throws him into his corner where he tags in JJ. The Gentleman comes in and hits PB with some strikes. Then, they lock up, and he shows his technical prowess. PB is ultimately able to use some power to free himself, and he goes to WP for a tag. Will comes in and hits JJ with a lot of quick offense. The Gentleman desperately needs a tag. He finally fights through and makes it to T-Money who comes in like a house of fire. He hits WP with the Moneymaker, but PB makes the save before he can get the pin. JJ and T-Money utilize quick tags leaving WP in a bad way. Finally, he gets a tag to PB who throws both adversaries around the ring. He hits JJ with a Queen Suplex. He then tags WP who hits a Solo Sault for the pin.
Winners, by pinfall, Legacy [PB and WP]

Mathews: Huge win for the Legacy!

Punk: If any of these guys take a pin in the tournament, they will be out.

Mathews: That’s right! There are no second chances.

Punk: I can’t say I’m surprised the established team won.

Mathews: Speaking of surprises, it’s time to find out who will join jTj, KJ, JJ, T-Money, PB, and WP in the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament at Dream On!

All Rhodes Lead to the End
Quarter Finals
RT versus Holzhammer

Cody: These two men have many similarities. Their differences may be more striking though. Both of them are considered locker room leaders, but they most certainly have different leadership styles. You have RT who guys go to with their problems and will talk things through over a beer. Then you have Holzhammer who rules the locker room with an iron fist striking fear in anyone who crosses him.

AM: Holzhammer defined by generation of wrestling as a fan. He did strong style before that term was even in the lexicon. He just beat the shit out of people.

KJ: Many people credit my partner, Holzhammer, with beginning to bring the Japanese style to America. He did that. To him, it was just about hurting people.

Mal: RT, next to KJ, was probably one of my favorite FFCW wrestlers of all time.

AM: Even during The Moderators Era, KJ wanted to pick a champion who was marketable and would sell tickets. RT has to be in the discussion for being the biggest draw in FFCW history.

Cody: Both of these men will go down as the all time greats of FFCW. However, one of them may get more than that. One of them could get the final shot at the FFCW World Championship.

Roberts: The following contest is a non-title match!

[The crowd boos as Riders on the Storm plays. WMS and Franchise make their way down to the ring. WMS goes over to the commentary table.]

WMS: I should’ve won the god damn Power 10 Match. There’s no reason why that old man should’ve beaten me.

Mathews: You’re not allowed to talk to us.

WMS: Once we put these two away, they better give us a damn tag team title shot.

Punk: What happens when you lose?!

[The crowd pops as Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Heavy Mike and Zap make their way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Zap retained the tag team championships without tagging Mike in last week.

Punk: He certainly did. It all goes back to two weeks ago when they said who’s the better man.

Mathews: I agree. We’ll see if they can stay on the same page tonight.

Non-Title Match
The Unionjacks [WMS and Franchise] versus The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]
Zap tries to start the match, but Mike slaps him on the back tagging himself in. Franchise runs at him, but the big man puts him in a bear hug. He squeezes the life out of him. WMS argues with the official, and Franchise manages to poke him in the eye. Mike still throws him over his head with a suplex. He tries to get to WMS, but Mike blocks him. He then splashes him with all of his weight. He gets up and drags him to his own corner. He dares WMS to tag in, but Wisey jumps off the apron. Mike shrugs and hits Franchise with the Australian Earthquake going for the pin.
Winners, by pinfall, The Australian Electric Company [Heavy Mike and Zap]

Mathews: And now Mike wins without his partner tagging in.

Punk: I’m going to put Zap over here a little bit. Both members of the other team actually tried last week. This was more like Franchise’s mercy killing.

Mathews: Mike invited WMS in though.

Punk: That’s true! Oh...What the fuck.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Greg walks on stage.]

Greg: Lofty Mike! Good stuff my manerino. So Zip Zap and Substantial Mike...heh. Have I got an announcement for you? I do..Heh. It’s right here on my cell phone! I’m gonna read it. At Dream On, the FFCW World Tag Team Champions will be in action, but they won’t be in a Tag Team Match...They’re going to be in a singles match...Against each other!

[Heavy Mike and Zap smile as they look at each other.]

Greg: One more thing! Cody said since I did such a nice job not screwing up last week, I get to make a match of my own for Dream On! And I wanted to come up with a match that’s never been done before...That’s why...At Dream On, it’s going to be the first ever Greg’s Match of FUN! I’m still working out the kinks...I mean the...heh...Kinks...Oh no! That might not be G. And this show may be unrated, but the Gregory man has to be G. Sorry Mom! I don’t know the rules yet.

Mathews: Greg’s Match of Fun?

Punk: Is this a rib?

Roberts: The following contest is a Number One Contender Match! The winner will face System at Dream On!

[The crowd boos as Game Over by Alexa Vega plays. Ness makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Ness picked up a victory over Mal two weeks ago which may have set him up for this shot.

Punk: He was on the losing end of War Games, but he seems to be pretty focused and level headed.

[The crowd cheers as In The Castle plays. WMVP makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: He lost to KJ last week. Let’s see if he loses to fellow Game Over member, Ness..

Punk: He’s been on a bit of a losing streak since losing his cool at The Right to Remain Violent.

Mathews: That’s true. We saw him almost cheat for the first time ever.

Punk: Probably not the first time. I’ve heard he did some shady stuff in Sri Lanka, but who hasn’t.

Number One Contender’s Match [Sub-Forum Championship]
Ness versus WMVP
The match starts with Ness going right to the floor. WMVP looks at the ropes as if he’s thinking about a suicide dive. The official tells Ness to come back in, but he refuses. WMVP decides to just run after him. Ness slides back into the ring. WMVP slides back in, and he begins to attack him with a series of clubbing strikes. WMVP fights back up. The crowd is behind him. He gets back to his feet, and he goes for a big swing at Ness who ducks. WMVP accidentally takes out the referee! Ness gives him a stern look before kicking him right between the legs! He then kicks him between the legs again. WMVP crumbles. Ness goes for the pin. The referee is still out. Ness revives him. 1...2...NO! WMVP kicks out! Ness is furious. He starts yelling at the official. WMVP goes for a roll up. Ness kicks out! Ness hits him with Game Over! He goes for the pin. He’s got a handful of tights! 1...2...3!
Winner, by pinfall, and NEW Number One Contender, Ness

Mathews: Ness stole his way to a championship match.

Punk: In his eyes, that may have been the only way he could win.

Mathews: Could we see the title change hands a fourth time at Dream On?

Mathews: Anything is possible.

[The crowd pops as God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash. jTj makes his way down to the ring in black jeans, cowboy boots, an FFCW cut-off t-shirt, and a black cowboy hat. He enters the ring and asks for a microphone.]

jTj It’s funny. When I came back through that curtain about a month ago, I didn’t imagine myself in a match with The Dazzler. I didn’t imagine myself getting booked by Cody in a tournament to honor a much better wrestler than me who wore this cowboy hat and cut a promo or two of his own. So Cody puts me in this match, and a cowboy has to rise to the occasion.

I have to win three matches in one night. I had to win three main event calibur matches in one night. I understand the expectations. Then, my prize is to be the final challenger for the FFCW World Championship. Now, that championship is currently held by a man I once called my best friend and my brother, but he’s not acting like a friend or a brother. The opportunity to put him in his place is not one I would take lightly.

However, my first stop on this journey is to fight a man I haven’t called my brother in a long time. KJ, you tried to destroy a thing I loved. Hell, there was a time when this was the only thing I loved. There was a time when this company and this business was my only lover, my only friend, and my only salvation. I see the world more clearly now, but this ring still holds a special place in my heart. At Dream On, maybe I don’t get to have the final match. Maybe I don’t get to make it to the main event. But I promise one thing. I will give every last ounce of fight in my heart to making sure KJ doesn’t take this from me and doesn’t take it from all of you. Because this isn’t my only lover, my only friend, and my only salvation anymore, but for some troubled souls out there it might be. And I fight for them. I fight for them to stay in the fight a little longer to achieve enlightenment like I have. If that means taking down a man who used to be like a brother to me, that is what I will do. I’m the last cowboy. I’m the white knight. I’m the John Wayne of FFCW, and at Dream On, I’m the guy eliminating KJ from the tournament.

[The Cash song plays again as jTj walks up the ramp to the locker room.]

Mathews: Very confident words from jTj.

Punk: I don’t know, Josh. Promos like that usually result in a guy losing in the first round.

Mathews: Well, we know the eight men who will be in All Rhodes Lead to the End. We also know the three men who will be fighting for the FFCW World Champion at Dream On.

Punk: 2 of those 11 men will compete in the last FFCW match ever.

Roberts: It is now time for the main event! The following contest is for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd boos as Congratulations by Post Malone. Bambi stands on the stage, and The Kid joins her.]

Mathews: The Kid is getting his rematch clause tonight despite not winning a Number One Contenders Match last week.

Punk: The whole thing is fuckin’ weird really.

Mathews: Shinobi held the title for mere minutes. PI stole it.

Punk: Well, kinda. I guess he catfished a hall of famer, pretended to be someone else, pretended to be bad at wrestling, and then stole a contract.

[The lights go out as Sink to the Beat by Cursive plays. They come back on, and PI is standing in the middle of the ring.]

Punk: This crafty son of a bitch.

Mathews: If it wasn’t so devious, it’d almost be admirable.

Punk: This motherfucker catfished Tito Santana. I love Tito Santana.

Mathews: I also love Tito Santana.

[The official is about to call for the bell when Started from the Bottom by Drake plays, and Shinobi Musashi comes down to the ring in designer jeans and a hoodie with his long black hair in a bun. He grabs a chair and sits next to CM Punk.]

Mathews: Welcome to commentary, Shin.

Musashi: Sorry, Josh. I’m not here to talk. I’m here to watch.

FFCW World Championship Match
The Kid [w/Bambi] versus PI ©
The official calls for the bell, and Bambi makes sure she stands right in front of Shinobi. He yells at her to move, but she hikes up her skirt and shakes her butt. He gets up to try and move her, but The Kid gets out of the ring and starts trash talking. They begin shoving, and the official is having a coronary. Bambi hits Shinobi from behind, and he starts getting strikes from both of them. PI goes to the top and delivers a corkscrew plancha to the floor! All four of them are down.

Mathews: Well that didn’t take long.

Punk: PI has the champion’s advantage, and I don’t think he has a problem retaining that way.

Mathews: The Kid never did.

PI gets to his feet, and Shinobi is pulling himself up. PI grabs him...Brainbuster on the floor! The crowd boos. He then sees Bambi getting to her feet. He grabs her, and he lifts her up for the Brainbuster. Kid hits him from behind with a double axe handle though. He grabs him by the mask and starts cussing him out for putting his hands on her. He delivers a series of chops on the floor. He grabs him by the back of the neck and throws him into the security wall. The official demands they get back into the ring. Kid throws PI into the ring and goes for the pin, but the champion kicks out before the official hits 1.

Mathews: He really didn’t think he was going to beat him that easily, did he?

Punk: You go for every pin you can when the stakes are like this.

Kid gets up to strategize. When PI gets to his feet, he ducks a clothesline then starts hitting the former champion with a series of kicks and elbows. The champion is striking fast and hard. He connects with a particularly devastating spinning back kick. He then signals for the Brainbuster, but Kid flips out of it. He turns around. Step Up Enziguri from the champion. He goes to the apron. Bambi grabs his ankle as he goes for Flyin’ PI. He kicks at her, and The Kid rolls to the floor. He approaches his manager to strategize. PI goes off the ropes and hits a suicide dive...KID PULLS BAMBI INTO THE CROSSFIRE!

Punk: Gah! What a piece of shit!

Mathews: Admittedly, it was low, but also remember she is a fully trained wrestler.

Kid runs away from PI before hitting No Kidding on the floor. He struggles to get the champion back in the ring. He helps Bambi up before sliding back into the ring himself. He tells Bambi to go get his championship back. She heads over, but Shinobi stands between her and the title. Kid sees this and gets upset. He spits at Shinobi who jumps up on the apron. Kid swings at him, but he jumps down. PI is back up and hits Kid with a step up enziguri! Flyin’ PI. It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, and STILL FFCW World Champion, PI

Punk: Shinobi with a bit of an assist there.

Mathews: I think he wants to get his hands on PI, the guy who stole the championship from him.

Punk: He’ll get that chance next week.

Earlier This Week

[Tito Santana is at his home in New Jersey.]

Santana: Thanks. No. I’m not interested in doing any business deals with people over the phone. Already learned that lesson the hard way. What the- Sorry. There’s a clown riding a tricycle up my driveway.

[Tito grabs a baseball bat and walks out the front door.]

Santana: Who the hell are you!?

“I’m Green The Clown.”

Santana: Who?!

Green: Green Clown The. The Green Clown. Clown The Green. I’m Greg’s friend.

Santana: Who is Greg?

Green: He’s the Liaison to the FFCW Championship Committee.

Santana: Oh. Right. I wanted that job. What do you want?! Did you bring me my last paycheck?

Green: I do have an envelope for you.

[Tito opens the envelope which says:

“You Are Cordially Invited to Grrrrrreg’s MATCHOFFUN!
This Saturday, Dream On
Please Circle Your Favorite Type of Soda
Mountain Dew Root Beet Surge Coke Blue
Write your favorite pizza topping:
Don’t forget your wrestling gear. We be a grapplin.”]

Green: See ya there!

Santana: Get off of my property clown!

[Tito chases the clown down the driveway and a minivan has to screech their breaks to avoid murdering Green which is a clear indication the driver didn’t know him.]

Punk: What the fuck was that cold open?

Mathews: I don’t know…

J-Rose: The opening contest is for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd pops as Started from the Bottom by Drake plays. Shinobi Musashi makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Shinobi came down to watch the championship match last week, but he ended up getting very involved.

Punk: Now he has the chance to become more than a five minute champion.

Mathews: I wouldn’t let him hear you say that.

Punk: I’ve got all of the respect in the world for the guy, and honestly, I think it was a case of bad luck that kept him from the championship.

[The lights go out and Sink to the Beat by Cursive plays.The lights come back on and PI is in the middle of the ring with the championship over his shoulder.]

Mathews: I’m not going to lie. This is a bit of a dream match in my opinion.

Punk: Yeah. It’s the first time these two have ever faced off. It should be a banger.

Mathews: Only one of them can go into Dream On as the champion.

FFCW World Championship Match
Shinobi Musashi versus PI ©
The referee calls for the bell, and the two circle each other around the ring. Shinobi goes for the KO Kick early, but PI moves out of the way. He then goes for a step up enziguri, but Shinobi catches him and powerbombs him over the top rope to the floor! PI rolls under the ring as Shinobi comes to the floor. He’s looking under the ring for the champion as the official starts counting both of them out. PI comes out on the other side of the ring holding his back in pain. He stumbles into the ring startling the referee. When the ref is checking him, The Kid jumps the barrier, grabs the championship and levels Shinobi with it before yelling “My title, bitch”! He drops the belt and jumps over the barricade before the official turns around to finish counting Shinobi out.
Winner, by countout, and STILL FFCW World Champion, PI

[Shinobi jumps over the barricade looking for The Kid as PI hold his championship close to him.]

Mathews: Tensions rise as we head to Dream On!

Punk: Is The Kid even going to make it to Dream On?

Mathews: I don’t know. Two guys who are going to do battle at Dream On are Ness and System as Game Over’s Ness tries to take the Sub-Forum Championship.

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
Ness versus System ©

System: I used to be just like you, Ness. I used to be a follower. I was one of KJ’s Moderators. Before that, I was one half of Holzhammer’s Sinterns. I have been a follower for more time than not. Fast forward to now. I have escaped the shadows. I have broken free from the leash that oppressed me. It lead me to the Sub-Forum Championship not once but twice. You think that you can bow down to KJ and Holzhammer, and you think that will change something for you. I can tell you it won’t. You’re a walk behinder, and the view never changes. You’ll be looking at the lights when I make you tap out to the Systematic Demise.

Ness: The games continue, but I finally have a squad watching my back. PB had a little twist up his sleeve, and he’s going to pay for that. Don’t think he won’t. However, my match is with you, and my job is simple. It is my job to end the game for the Sub-Forum Championship. You already let it slip out of your hands twice, System. Don’t think for a second that it won’t happen again. You used to walk in the footsteps of KJ and Holzhammer, and don’t think for a second it wasn’t deliberate when they chose to leave you behind.

J-Rose: Already in the ring, from In Your House, BAKER!

[The crowd pops when Thunderstruck by AC/DC plays. Zap makes his way down to the ring to a nice pop from the crowd. He has the tag team championship over his shoulder, but tonight, it doesn’t mean anything.]

Mathews: The Australian Electric Company have shown what they can do as tag team competitors, but tonight, their job is to show what they can do in one on one action.

Punk: Both men requested singles matches as a sort of tune up for what they’ve got ahead of them when they face off in singles action at Dream On.

Mathews: I think this really comes down to a professional rivalry, but I hope it doesn’t turn personal.

Punk: The way things have been going with these two; it wouldn’t surprise me either way.

Singles Match
Zap versus Baker
The bell rings, and Zap is quick on the attack. He shows his high speed arsenal, and things are not looking good for Baker. The Savior of the New Generation begs off trying to take a count out. Zap goes off the ropes and hits a baseball slide dropkick! He goes to bring Baker back in, but he gets sent head first into a ring post. Baker tells the official to hurry up and count Zap out. He manages to get back into the ring at nine. Baker goes for a pin with a handful of tights. The official catches him. Baker is arguing with the official when Zap pops up and gives him an acid drop. Flash Splash! It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, Zap

Mathews: Nice win for Zap!

Punk: I think he’s got a harder challenge ahead of him though on Saturday.

Mathews: Without question.

[The cameras cut to the back where Shinobi Musashi is packing his bag. RT enters.]

RT: You ever catch The Kid?

Musashi: I’ll catch him Saturday night.

RT: For sure for sure. Hey, sorry about the main event tonight.

Musashi: What?

RT: Sorry that we’re in the main event and your match wasn’t. For what it’s worth, I think you’ve got all the potential in the world to be a main event guy someday.

Musashi: I don’t know how absorbed in your own head you’ve been lately, but I’ve been in the World Championship match at the last two pay per views.

RT: Sure, but when was the last time the World Championship was in the main event?

Musashi: I mean I could take your ass out right now, win the tournament, and the triple threat and take your precious belt home.

RT: I mean. You got one thing right. It is MY belt.

[AM hears things escalating and gets between them. He gets between them.]

AM: Whoa! Guys, what the hell?!

[Then, Green the Clown enters.]

Green: Hidyho neighbors!

AM: Guys. What the hell.

Green: I’ve got a special deliver for AM!

AM: “You Are Cordially Invited to Grrrrrreg’s MATCHOFFUN!
This Saturday, Dream On
Please Circle Your Favorite Type of Soda
Mountain Dew Root Beet Surge Coke Blue
Write your favorite pizza topping:
Don’t forget your wrestling gear. We be a grapplin.
PS: You will be a team captain. Please bring a clipboard. If you don’t have one, we can use a Mountain Dew box or something.”

Green: Aye aye captain!

AM: What the fuck.

[It cuts back to ringside.]

Mathews: Do we know the rules for Greg’s Match of Fun?

Punk: Give me a break, Josh.

J-Rose: Already in the ring, GCB!

[The crowd pops as Thunderstruck plays again. Heavy Mike comes down to the ring with his championship over his shoulder.]

Mathews: Mike has got to get a big win here if he wants to stay on par with Zap.

Punk: Well, it helps that I don’t think GCB has won a match since the Clinton Administration.

Singles Match
Heavy Mike versus GCB
Mike goes to start the match with a big splash, but GCB moves out of the way. He uses the opportunity to deliver a series of punches and strikes. He takes Mike down with a short DDT and goes for the pin. Mike kicks out. He starts to feel the energy of the crowd as he powers back up. He hits him with elbows and headbutts before taking him down with a big power slam. GCB gets back to his feet, and Mike sends him into the corner. Big Splash! Australian Earthquake! It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, Heavy Mike

Mathews: We’re just a few nights away from seeing Heavy Mike and Zap go one on one for nothing but bragging rights, and both men are going in with quite a bit of momentum.

Punk: They are definitely going to have their big moment in the sun this Saturday night.

[We cut to the back again. Green the Clown is clearly blown up riding his tricycle around the building when Greg approaches him.]

Greg: Did you get them all handed out?

Green: All but one. Well. Two. Well. A tag team.

Greg: Did you give one to WMVP?

Green: Yep.

Greg: Did you give one to Franchise?

Green: Yep.

Greg: How about WMS?

Green: I did. I did.

Greg: Did you give one to Baker?

Green: Yep.

Greg: Mal?

Green: Yep.

Greg: GCB?

Green: GTC.

Greg: What?!

Green: I’m not GCB. I’m GTC. Green the Clown.

Greg: Going by initials now? Very original. I like it.

Green: Hey boss?

Greg: Yeah?

Green: I gotta get the rest of these delivered.

Greg: Then ride like the wind bullseye!

[They cut back to the commentary table.]

Mathews: Was that conversation surprisingly, coherent?

Punk: Yeah...It kinda was.

J-Rose: Already in the ring, Raven Star and Radikal! The Men Who Sold the World!

Punk: Pardon the jobber entrance for the former tag team champions here.

Mathews: To be fair, the Greg and Green the Clown segment went double the time it was supposed to.

Punk: Ah segments going long. This is what pro wrestling is all about. The age old question. Cut half of my shit or keep the audience here past midnight.

Mathews: Spoiler. They walked down the stairs and sulked.

[The crowd pops as Princes of the Universe by Queen plays! PB and WP make their way down to the ring.]

Mathews: The Australian Electric Company aren’t the only team facing each other this Saturday night.

Punk: That’s right! This one will be for more than bragging rights, though.

Mathews: Absolutely. Only one of them can go forward in the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament.

Punk: Both men are more known for their tag world even though I believe both of them are former FFCW World Champions.

Tag Team Match
Legacy [WP and PB] versus The Men Who Sold the World [Raven Star and Radikal]
The match starts with Raven Star and PB. The official calls for the bell, and PB immediately begins to throw Raven around the ring. He goes off the ropes and hits a big splash on Raven. He goes for an early pin, but Radikal breaks it. PB pushes him, and the official gets in between them. WP calls his partner back, and they tag. Raven also tags Rad. The fresh men do some cool stuff, but then Radikal does something shitty (use your imagination). He pulls Will into their corner, and they begin to work him over. PB gets the crowd behind his partner, and he makes the hot tag. He comes in with a house of fire and does some cool shit. Legacy Bomb on Radikal. He tags in WP who hits a Solo Sault. They did it!
Winners, by pinfall, WP and PB, The Legacy

Mathews: We may be seeing both of those moves Saturday night, but only one of them can win!

Punk: These guys have a shot at one more main event.

Mathews: We are now going to look at a preview of the final quarter finals match in the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament.

All Rhodes Lead to the End
Quarter Finals
JJ versus T-Money

Cody: I wanted to give someone the chance to earn a spot in this tournament. Full disclosure, there were almost 16 spots, but I really wanted to live up to the seven main event quality matches concept. I wanted somebody to earn their spot and I thought they deserved something a little extra, so I decided they could choose their opponent. I’m happy JJ won, and I think he will have a great match with T-Money.

The Kid: T-Money is nothing but a bitch. I cannot believe he is in this tournament. Not only does he not belong in the tournament. I hope he loses so he comes crawling back to me to ask if he can be my corner man when I defend the FFCW World Championship in the last match.

Musashi: JJ is a guy I have a ton of respect for. T-Money has earned my respect in the last few months.

Mal: JJ is a legend. He’s proving that again with this run. T-Money is showing us a side of him we’ve never seen before.

WMS: Didn’t JJ say he was coming back for one last match? When is that old hack going to retire? Fuck.

Cody: These two guys are going to have a great match. I have no doubt about that, but only one man can be the final challenger for the FFCW World Championship.

J-Rose: It is now time for your main event!

[The crowd boos as Game Over by Alexa Vega begins to play. KJ and Holzhammer make their way down to the ring.]

Punk: If these guys both win, when would they meet? The finals maybe?

Mathews: Well, Punk, the brackets haven’t been made public yet.

Punk: How much would it suck if these two were in the finals?

Mathews: I mean, the match would be good.

Punk: Sure. Sure. Of course, but fuck both of these guys.

[The crowd cheers as Going Out in Style by Dropkick Murphys plays, and RT makes his way onto the stage.]

Punk: Have these guys ever teamed before?

Mathews: I’m not sure, but I don’t think so.

[The crowd pops big as God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash plays. jTj makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: Imagine how much of a game changer this match could be. One of these guys could have significant damage done to him going into the tournament.

Punk: They could completely take someone out. Then who takes their spot? Me?!

Main Event
Tag Team Match
GAME OVER [KJ and Holzhammer] versus RT and jTj
The match starts with all four men exchanging blows. The referee is trying to get control of the match. He threatens disqualification when he cannot get it under control. Finally jTj goes to the corner. Holzhammer and KJ continue to double team RT when the official threatens to disqualify them. Finally, Holzhammer goes to the apron. KJ kicks RT a few more times before Irish whipping him into the corner. He tags The Devil Himself who eyes his opponent for the tournament. RT ducks a clothesline before rolling into his corner and tagging in jTj. The figurative John Wayne enters and eyes down Holzhammer. Holz asks KJ if he wants in, and The Mastermind shrugs him off. They two heavyweights lock up.

Mathews: Two of the all time greats in FFCW. Sure fire FFCW Hall of Famers.

Punk: Black and white. Good and evil. The sun and the moon.

Holzhammer goes for a headbutt. jTj evades it and applies a front facelock. Holzhammer is squirming like crazy looking furious he got caught. He lifts jTj up, dropping him with a variation of a suplex. He grabs Jeff by the ankle and drags him into the corner. He tags in KJ who takes advantage of the fallen Jeff choking him. He delivers a few knees before dropping an elbow and jumping up to tag Holzhammer back in. The Devil Himself looks down at the John Wayne of FFCW. He drives his foot into the throat of jTj several times. RT is freaking out on the apron. He calls for the official to reprimand Holzhammer. He grabs the official by the collar, but the ref breaks free and backs away.

Punk: How’s that not a disqualification?!

Mathews: Are you going to disqualify Holzhammer.

RT breaks into the ring and hits Holzhammer with a double axe handle. Holzhammer grabs him by the throat, and KJ hits him with a spear. He then looks over jTj until he grabs him by the throat again. The official is trying to get control when KJ pulls the referee out of the ring. RT starts to chase KJ around the ring, and The Mastermind slides in. He delivers a series of knees to RT before tying him in the ropes. Holzhammer then hits Jeff with a Tombstone Piledriver in the middle of the ring right on the injured neck. KJ screams at the official to go back into the ring and count.
Winners, by pinfall, GAME OVER [KJ and Holzhammer]

Mathews: We need a medic down here.

Punk: That was not good…

Mathews: There were rumors he came back from his neck injury too soon as it was. If he reinjured it...He could possibly be in three matches Saturday!

Punk: I don’t think he’s going to wrestle in one match Saturday. Josh. This is bad.

Mathews: Game Over thinks they can do whatever they damn well please.

[Medics slide into the ring when Holzhammer grabs one of them and choke slams him! WP, PB, T-Money, and JJ run down to the ring to check on jTj and RT.]

Mathews: Could this really be Game Over for FFCW?

Dream On.

J-Rose: The opening contest is a quarter final match in the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament!

Mathews: No cold open?

Punk: Josh. We’ve got eleven fucking matches.

Mathews: That’s right! We’ve got all seven matches in the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament!

Punk: And four non-tournament matches! Including Greg’s Match of Fun, whatever the fuck that is.

Mathews: Let’s take a look at the bracket!



[The crowd boos as Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin plays, and KJ comes through the curtain.]

Mathews: We saw Game Over reign supreme at the end of the last episode of Quake. Can they win the tournament?

Punk: After what they did to jTj the other night, they might win this one by forfeit.

Mathews: Locker room was very hush hush today about what jTj’s condition was after the beating he took from KJ and Holzhammer on Quake.

Punk: Last thing I’d want is for this smug bastard to get a bye.

[KJ takes the microphone.]

KJ: Justin, I’m going to let you announce me as the winner here in a minute, but first, I need to talk about why Game Over is a part of this tournament. Many thought we would walk away when The Rebel Outliers beat us, but those people missed the point. One way or another...We are going to END this company. I need to watch the fire of this company burn out. I want to main event the last show so I can take the championship and DESTROY it. So Justin, if jTj isn’t going to come out here to fight me-

[The crowd cheers as God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash plays as jTj comes down to the ring with a piece of paper in his hand. He’s still got his street clothes on. He gets into the ring and takes the microphone from KJ.]

jTj According to this piece of paper…

[He pauses. The crowd boos.]

jTj: According to this piece of paper.

[KJ has a big smile on his face.]

jTj: Accord to this piece of paper, I am medically cleared to compete, and there’s nothing stopping me from kicking your ass right now! Ring that bell, boy!

All Rhodes Lead to The End
Quarter Finals
jTj versus KJ
jTj comes running at KJ and hits him with a big boot knocking his head off with the cowboy boot. He feels the roar of the crowd before dropping him with a scoop slam. KJ gets right back up and jTj throws him into the corner. He hits him with a series of chops before the official counts to four. He pulls him out by the hair and begins bashing his head into the top turnbuckle. He backs out on four again before tripping KJ. He then jumps onto the middle rope and gets the crowd fired up. KJ uses the opportunity to roll to the floor. Jeff jumps off the top rope to the floor with a double axe handle, but KJ moves out of the way. The Mastermind then grabs him and hits him with a DDT on the floor. He rolls into the ring and tells the official to count him out. The official reaches five, and Jeff starts to get to his feet. The Mastermind rolls to the floor. He grabs him and drops him on his head with a piledriver! KJ rolls back into the ring and demands the official count him out. The ringside medic goes over to check on him. KJ tells the official to hurry up. The medic is checking on jTj when he suddenly starts to stir. KJ is standing in the corner as if he’s won when the official reaches nine. jTj slides in and hits him with a forearm. He climbs up to the top with him...Holy Shit! Super Patriot Plex! He goes for the pin! 1...2….3!
Winner, by pinfall, and advancing, jTj

Mathews: Well, there you have it! GAME OVER’s chances of redemption just got cut in half!

Punk: KJ being out in the first round probably won’t bust anybody’s brackets, but when we saw jTj at the end of Quake, there may have been considerable doubt.

Mathews: jTj heads to the back as KJ cannot be happy.

Punk: How much pressure does this put on Holzhammer now?

Mathews: Quite a bit.

J-Rose: The following contest is a first round match in the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament!

[The crowd pops when Must Be the Money plays. T-Money makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: There’s been some whispering in the back about how T-Money is the only guy in the tournament who really hasn’t earned his spot in the tournament.

Punk: You know, I’ve heard those rumblings too, and I don’t get it. He’s had main event quality matches with JJ, Shinobi, and others. How many times has he challenged for the FFCW World Championship?

Mathews: T-Money was chosen by JJ to be his opponent tonight after earning his respect at The Right to Remain Violent.

Punk: The winner of this match has a great chance of going to the finals facing a very vulnerable jTj.

[The crowd pops again as Sharp Dressed Man plays. JJ makes his way down to the ring in gold gear instead of his usual white.]

Mathews: JJ said if he loses tonight, it could very well be his last match.

Punk: jTj has also said that which is ironic because if JJ wins, he will face jTj.

Mathews: That match could have career threatening implications.

Punk: He’s gotta get through T-Money first.

All Rhodes Lead to The End
Quarter Finals
T-Money versus JJ
The bell rings, and the match begins with a handshake. There is respect between both men. It starts with some great technical wrestling. JJ is clearly stronger in this area. He gets some impressive holds locked on, but T-Money uses his strength to power out of many of them. They continue to grapple, and T starts to seem a bit frustrated. They circle around each other before locking up again. This time, the Moneymaker uses his power to throw The Gentleman around the ring. He delivers a series of scoop slams before going for a pin. Bambi starts walking down to the ring. T-Money mouths “oh hell no” and goes to the floor. He chases her around the ring until she slides in. She crawls between the referee’s legs and jumps out of the ring on the other side. T had gone in afterward, and the official gets between them. She gets up on the apron again and swings at him. JJ rolls out of the ring and pulls her off the apron. She swings at him, and he blocks it. T-Money is still trying to get through with the official. WMS jumps over the barricade and levels JJ with a steel chair. T-Money now dives over the top rope onto WMS. JJ is busted open, but the official didn’t see any of it. Money goes to swing at Bambi who runs up the ramp. The referee starts counting T-Money and JJ both out. They both are about to get back in, but WMS hits JJ with a low blow out of the official’s sight as the official gets to 10. JJ doesn’t make it back in.
Winner, by count out, and advancing, T-Money

Mathews: What a bastard.

Punk: WMS just cost JJ this tournament.

Mathews: And Bambi failed at trying to cost T-Money the tournament.

[WMS takes a microphone and rolls into the ring.]

WMS: Bye bitch. I only wish you didn’t hang up your knickers before I got to kick your ass one more time!

Mathews: What a prick!

Punk: So that means we're going to be seeing jTj versus T-Money in the next round, right.

Mathews: It will, but up next, we’ve got some non-tournament action.

[Thunderstuck by AC/DC plays, and Zap walks through the curtain. He’s got his FFCW Tag Team Championship strapped around his waist.]

Mathews: This all started one month ago when these guys won a loser leaves FFCW match.

Punk: And they won the match!

Mathews: They did win the match, but Zap never consented to have his career put on the line.

Punk: For Mike it was a show of faith in his partner.

[The music stops then restarts as Heavy Mike comes through the curtain. He gets into the middle of the ring.]

Mathews: Things escalated when Zap basically said he was the reason they won and eliminated him from the Power Ten.

Punk:Imagine if they’d stayed on the same page in the Power Ten Match. They could be having this match as part of the All Rhodes Lead to the End Tournament, but Zap was selfish.

Mathews: Zap’s not selfish. It’s not up to Mike whether or not Zap puts his career on the line, Punk!

Punk: They won! It’s over! Who cares!

Singles Match
Heavy Mike versus Zap
The referee calls for the bell as the match begins. Heavy Mike puts his hand out for a handshake. The crowd murmurs as Zap decides whether or not to accept the shake. He nods and shakes his brother’s hand. Mike pulls him in close and has a big smile on his face. This is all about who is the better man. They lock up, and Mike just throws Zap down. He then flexes to show how strong he is. They lock up again, and Mikey throws him right back down. Zap looks annoyed and he goes off the ropes before drop kicking the big man in the knee. Mike lets out a wail of pain. Zap proceeds to deliver a series of kicks before grounding him with a short DDT. He goes for the pin, but Mike kicks out. The big man rolls over, and Zap proceeds to grab him by the ankle and drive his knee into the mat several times. Mike is crying out in pain. He applies a knee bar, and Mike reaches for the ropes. The referee calls for a clean break, and he gets one. Mike rolls to the floor, and Zap looks frustrated. He goes off the ropes...Suicide Dive that completely misses. Mike looks down at him and shakes his head a bit before dropping all of his weight down on him. Mike rolls back into the ring and the official begins a count out. Mike actually sits down on the mat to adjust his knee pad while the official counts. Zap gets back in and hits Mike with a variation of a lariat. He goes for the pin, but Mike kicks out! Zap goes to the top...Flash Splash into Mike’s knees! The big man used his instincts, but he immediately regretted it as he cries in pain. He uses the ropes to pull himself up as Zap is holding his ribs in pain. Mike lunges at him with a rolling senton avoiding putting weight on his knee. Zap’s shoulders are down, but he gets his feet on the ropes. The big man lets out an audible ‘fuck’ before pulling himself up in the corner. He looks at the ropes deciding. He is going to go for the Australian Earthquake. He gets his foot on his good leg up. He gets his bad leg up, but it gives out! He slips and falls onto Zap. His legs are caught in the ropes, so the official won’t count. Zap rolls him out of it with the big man’s shoulders now down. 1...2...3!
Winner, by pinfall, Zap

Mathews: What a fight between brothers!

Punk: As soon as Zap targeted Mike’s knee it was over!

Mathews: I hadn’t heard anything about a knee injury with Mike, but this is where knowing him better than anyone comes into play.

Punk: He targeted that knee, and he took it out.

J-Rose: Up next is a first round match in the All Rhodes Lead to The END TOURNAMENT!

[The crowd cheers as Princes of the Universe by Queen plays, Legacy come down to the ring together!]

Mathews: They had one of the big feuds of the year a couple years back, but astonishingly, this is their first one on one contest!

Punk: And they’re coming out together!

Mathews: I kinda like that. They’re showing unity and camaraderie!

Punk: Only one of them makes it past the first round, though.

All Rhodes Lead to The End
Quarter Finals
WP versus PB
The crowd pops as the bell rings. They circle each other around the ring. They shake hands. They hug. THE LIGHTS GO OUT When they come back on, KJ and Holzhammer are in the ring with steel chairs. They crack WP and PB in the back of the head causing the referee to call for the bell. They continue to beat them down with the chairs as the bell is rung repeatedly.
No Contest

[KJ and Holzhammer continue to drive the chairs into the bodies of PB and WP as the crowd boos. KJ gets out of the ring to grab a microphone while Holzhammer threatens security.]

KJ: So I guess this means Cody isn’t going to get his precious seven main event caliber matches. I just want you to know that we don’t give a damn about his tournament. PB, you didn’t think your receipt was coming? Kiss your title opportunity goodbye!

Mathews: This is out of control.

Punk: Somebody has to stop them!

[The crowd pops when Going Out in Style by Dropkick Murphys plays, and RT makes his way through the curtain.]

Mathews: We’re not waiting!

Punk: I hope he takes them all out of the tournament once and for all!

All Rhodes Lead to The End
Quarter Finals
Holzhammer [w/KJ] versus RT
KJ immediately slides into the ring when the bell rings. RT grabs him and hits him with the Beerblaster before throwing him out of the ring. This allows Holzhammer to come after him. He hits him with a series of double ax handles before choking him on the middle rope. The referee starts counting, and Holzhammer barks at him. KJ yells for him to break the hold. Holzhammer grabs RT by the hair and throws him to the floor. He jumps down to the floor before throwing him into the steel stairs. KJ gets in between them and points toward the ring clearly not wanting Holzhammer to get disqualified. The Devil Himself throws RT into the security wall, and the official begins to count them both out. KJ yells at him to get back in the ring. He finally complies. KJ looks at RT when PB and WP come running back down with chairs to chase him off. KJ, WP, and PB run to the back. The official gets to 7. RT manages to get back in the ring. Holzhammer goes for the pin. RT gets his foot on the rope. The Devil Himself looks furious. He yells at the official, but RT gets to his feet. He drives his knee into the back of Holzie. He hits him with a series of chops before driving his head into the top turnbuckle! He jumps onto the top rope. TORNADO BEERBLASTER! He goes for the pin. 1...2...NO! Holzhammer kicks out. RT gets ready to get right back on the offensive. Holzhammer grabs him by the throat. Headbutt! He falls to the mat. Holzhammer goes for the pin.
Winner, by pinfall, and advancing...to the finals, Holzhammer

Mathews: So now he goes right to the finals.

Punk: Damn it.

Part 1 of 3

[We cut to the back where Cathy Kelley is standing by with Shinobi Musashi]

Kelley: Shinobi, later tonight, you will compete in a triple threat match where you will attempt to recapture the FFCW World Championship. What are your thoughts going into this match?

Musashi: Well, going into tonight, there were 11 possibilities of who would be in the final FFCW Match. We’re now down to six. I don’t know if I’ll face jTj, T-Money, or Holzhammer when I win my FFCW World Championship back tonight. I know I won’t face RT. I guess this is one pay per view he won’t main event. As for me,

[RT walks into the shot. He SLAPS Shinobi Musashi in the face and walks out of the shot.]

Mushashi: Really. That’s what he wants to do. I’ll address that later, Cathy. I’m going to keep thinking about it though. I’ll be thinking about it when I walk down to that ring tonight. I’ll be thinking about it when I recapture MY FFCW World Championship, and I’ll be thinking about beating whoever DOES win this tournament. So-

[Shinobi looks confused as Green the Clown rides his tricycle through the shot.]

Green: I’m late! I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!

[He rides rapidly as Cathy tries to follow him and motions for the camera crew to join her. Shinobi throws up his hands and walks away. Cathy follows Green down the hall to Greg who is dressed in what looks like a knock off Willy Wonka suit.]

Green: I’m late! I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!

Greg: Would you STAHP with the outdated references, HEH?! It’s time for the World Premiere of Greg’ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss matchoffun!

[Greg puts a VHS in the VCR, and he hits play as a low quality video begins to play. Suddenly, Holzhammer drives his foot through the TV! He picks it up and throws it violently onto the floor. Cathy runs and screams. Green and Greg ride away. KJ and Ness walk into the shot.]

KJ: Greg, you idiot. Nobody wanted to write your stupid match of fun. This is the deal. Ness, we lost at the Right to Remain Violent, and I may have lost earlier tonight. However, it’s time for us to take back our spot and reign supreme. You need to take that Sub-Forum Championship away from System once and for all. In fact, I’m going with you to the ring.

[The crowd boos as KJ and Ness walk down to the ring for the Sub-Forum Championship Match. As they make their way down to the ring, Let Me Hear You Scream plays, and System chases them down to the ring. They jump into the crowd as he wildly swings the championship around over his head inviting them to come down. Then, Play That Funky Music hits, and Greg walks on stage.]

Greg: KJ, you want to ruin MY match of fun? Fine, I can ruin things, too. Cody told me I could book one match tonight, and it was the cinematic matchumentary Greg’s Match of Fun. Unfortunately, you destroyed the only TV that could hook up to a VCR in the tri-county area, so we aren’t going to see that match tonight. However, I think that means I can add a little stipulation to this match. You want to hang out around the ring? Fine, let’s have EVERYONE hang around the ring. This match is now a Lumberjack Match!

Mathews: Greg, effectively neutralizing KJ’s presence in this match.

Punk: Surprisingly smart move by Greg.

[Many of the roster members come down to the ring to start the match.]

FFCW Sub-Forum Championship Match
Lumberjack Match
System © versus Ness
The bell rings, and the crowd bursts. System comes running in with a big boot to the face. He picks Ness up by the hair before slamming him with a scoop slam. System goes off the ropes and drops a leg on Ness! He goes for the pin. This could be the fastest championship match! KJ pulls the referee out of the ring! System realizes what happened and goes off the ropes. SUICIDE DIVE TO THE FLOOR FROM THE BIG MAN! He falls into KJ, the ref, and several lumberjacks! Melee breaks out on the floor as the lumberjacks are now brawling. Ness pulls a sledgehammer out from under the ring which he levels System with. KJ holds the champion as Ness THROWS A FIREBALL AT HIM! The big man has been burned. KJ throws him back into the ring and revives the referee. Ness slides into the ring and hits System with Game Over. 1...2...3.
Winner, by pinfall, and NEW Sub-Forum Champion, Ness

Mathews: Ness capitalized on the chaos and won the championship. How disgusting.

Punk: This will HOPEFULLY be a big story on PW News.

Mathews: The Sub-Forum Championship has now changed hands another time in the last few months. Who will be the last FFCW Sub-Forum Champion? Will it be Ness? Will it be someone else?

Punk: We don’t have time to dwell on that, though, Josh. We’ve got to get ready for the semi finals!

Mathews: Absolutely. Let’s review the bracket!



Punk: So one of these guys is going to face Holzhammer in the finals. Who’s it going to be?

[The crowd pops as Must Be the Money by Nelly plays. T-Money walks through the curtain with a determined look on his face. He has a bit of a limp from the last match. He climbs into the ring and sits in the corner waiting for his opponent.]

Mathews: If T-Money wins this match, it would be a bit of an upset, would it not?

Punk: I think it would. T-Money is a former Sub-Forum Champion, but he’s certainly not in that legend status that the other two guys left in the tournament are.

Mathews: If T-Money wins the tournament, do you think there is someone in particular he’d like to face in the finals?

Punk: Well, we know he’s beaten Shinobi for championships before. PI would be a bit of a questionable variable for him. Kid used to be his best friend, but we know how that ended.

[God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays, and there is a hush over the building. Then, the people are clapping for the legend. jTj walks through the curtain and smiles at the crowd.He keeps shaking his head and holding his neck.]

Mathews: jTj got dropped on his head on the floor earlier tonight. If he wants to walk out number one contender, he’s going to have to win two more matches.

Punk: Truth is, Jeff never got a rematch when he lost his title. He was already injured when he wrestled against the doctor’s orders. He may have re-injured that neck tonight.

Mathews: Time will tell. There were some shenanigans in T-Money’s match with Bambi trying to get involved, but he’s definitely not in nearly as bad of shape as Jeff.

Punk: T could easily put jTj away and guarantee his match against Holzhammer if jTj is in the shape he might be in.

All Rhodes Lead to the End
Semi Finals
T-Money versus jTj
The referee checks jTj before asking T-Money if he’s ready. T asks the official if The White Knight is all right. jTj says come on, let’s go. They circle each other, and T is clearly hesitant. They finally lock up, and Money backs up when jTj lets out a cry when his neck is touched. He pushes off and yells at the official that his opponent may not be able to compete. The official asks jTj if he wants to continue, and he pushes the ref out of the way to cold cock T-Money. He delivers a series of punches pushing him into the corner. The crowd is giving a mixed reaction to jTj’s choice of strategy. He delivers a series of strikes to T-Money in the corner. When the official comes over to call for a break, he reaches the count of four before The John Wayne of FFCW complies. He then grabs T-Money with a headlock. He has it locked in, and the official asks him if it’s a choke. He takes him down to the mat. The official checks to see if T gives up, but he doesn’t. He gets a portion of the crowd behind him as he gets to his feet. jTj breaks the hold, but he strikes him several times. He calls for the PatiotPlex, but when he goes to lift him up, he cries out in pain. jTj holds his neck in pain as he goes toward the ropes. T-Money stands up and watches. The official goes to check again, but jTj goes around him trying to ambush T-Money. The Moneymaker is ready this time and drops Jeff with a spinebuster! He goes for the pin, but jTj kicks out. T-Money looks at him with frustration. He gets back up and motions for jTj to get back up if he wants to stay in the match. He gets up, and T hits him with a hip toss. He follows up by going off the ropes and hitting him with a leg drop. He goes for the pin, but jTj kicks out. He looks a little frustrated as he picks him up by the hair. T hits him with a scoop slam. jTj holds his neck as he lays on the mat. T-Money shakes his head before going for the pin. 1...2...NO! jTj gets his shoulder up. Money looks mad now. He signals “THAT’S IT!” He picks jTj up and signals for The Moneymaker. He almost helps Jeff to his feet before putting his neck between his legs. A cry of pain is heard. He hooks the arms, but there is conflict in his eyes. He doesn’t hit him with the move. He lets go and turns his back. He holds the top rope as it’s clear he wants to win, but he doesn’t want to win like this. jTj drives his knee into T-Money’s back sending him into the ropes before rolling him up! The official gets into position. 1...2...3?!
Winner, by pinfall, advancing to the finals, jTj

Mathews: Was he playing possum?

Punk: Did he pull the tights?

Mathews: I didn’t see him pull the tights, but I think he may have been playing possum.

Punk: Well, it was clear T-Money was showing hesitation when he basically didn’t want to cripple the guy, but his hesitation cost him the match.

Mathews: And it cost him his shot at the FFCW World Championship.

Punk: You’ve gotta think jTj was going to try to win this thing by any means necessary.

Part 2 of 3

[We come back from a commercial for AEW action figures to see Cathy Kelley standing backstage with The Kid and Bambi.]

Kelley: Kid-

Kid: Hold on, cutie. I’m gonna let you ask your little question, but first, did y’all see what I just saw?

Bambi: I saw T-Money acting like a little bitch!

Kid: Now hold up, Bambi. I’m gon have to correct you there. He wasn’t ACTING like a bitch. You see. That’s the real T-Money. I taught him how to act like a man. I taught him to act like he had any business being here. I taught him to act like a gangsta. Underneath everything I taught him is a petty, pathetic bitch. T-Money done showed his true colors tonight, and that’s why he lost to old man Jeffy. However, I am not going to lose tonight. I am going to whoop Shinobi, again. I’m going to whoop PI, again, and I’m taking my championship back. Now, I’m assuming the question you wanted to ask me was if you could tag in with Bambi and I for a little triple threat action at the after party, and the answer is...eh, maybe.

Bambi: ...Maybe.

Kelley: That wasn’t my question, and this interview is over.

J-Rose: The following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH for the FFCW World Championship!

[The crowd pops as Started from the Bottom by Drake plays, and Shinobi Musashi begins to shadow box on the stage. He comes down to the ring with a determined look on his face.]

Mathews: Shinobi Musashi will go down in history as having the shortest FFCW World Championship reign.

Punk: And if he fails to win it tonight, it will probably be his last shot.

Mathews: Absolutely. His back is against the wall. Who do you think he will be rooting for to win the tournament?

Punk: Well, Holzhammer did put him on the shelf for a long time, but I also know he views jTj as somewhat of a mentor.

[Congratulations by Post Malone plays as Bambi is twerking on the stage. The Kid walks through with a pool cue in his hand.]

Punk: Why does he have a pool cue in his hand?

Mathews: There are no disqualifications in this match. He also has Bambi as a weapon.

Punk: We know she won’t hesitate to be used in a match. She actually works a lot of women’s promotions in the area, some of which she holds championships. Who do you think Kid wants to see win this tournament?

Mathews: Well, he beat jTj for the championship once. He probably thinks he could do it again.

[The lights go out. Sink to the Beat plays, and when the lights come back on, PI is in the ring swinging the championship over his head like a maniac.]

FFCW World Championship Match
Triple Threat
Shinobi Musashi versus The Kid [w/Bambi] versus PI ©
The referee calls for the bell. PI rips the championship back out from the official’s hand and begins swinging it over his head. Shinobi runs at him and hits him with a claymore! Kid rushes Shinobi and gets pulled up into a Fireman’s Carry. Go to Sleep! Kid is down, and Shinobi goes for the early pin. 1...2...NO! Bambi is in the ring already! Shinobi grabs her by the hair, and he clearly isn’t going to put up with any crap this time. He swings at her, but she ducks. She runs to the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault, but Musashi catches her! Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle! She rolls out of the ring, and The Kid rolls out to check on her. PI comes into the corner hitting Musashi with a double knee!

Mathews: This match is already crazy!

Punk: The winner of this match could very well be the last FFCW World Champion. You’re one pin away from possibly being in the last main event.

Mathews: And Bambi wants to be the manager in that last main event.

PI pulls Nobi out of the corner by the hair, but he swats him off. The two men face off. Shinobi CHOPS PI right on the chest! It clearly stings, and he follows up with one of his own. Musashi shakes his head and begins to hit PI with a flurry of chops. He follows up with an upper cut before dropping him with a scoop slam. He drops a series of elbow drops on the champion before hooking the leg. 1...2...NO! The champion kicks out. Shinobi gets back to his feet, and PI kips up. Shinobi goes for the KO Kick, but PI does a matrix move to avoid it. He then turns it into a handspring back elbow! The crowd pops big for it. The champion goes to the apron possibly looking for Flyin’ PI early. Bambi pulls him off the apron. PI swings at her, and she ducks it. She turns him around. Canadian Destroyer on the floor! Kid scrambles into the ring to pin Shinobi. 1...2...NO!

Mathews: This might as well be a fatal fourway.

Punk: With stakes like this, can you blame her for getting involved?

Mathews: Yes! She has no business being involved in the match!

Kid mounts Shinobi and hits him with a series of bunches. Nobi tries to get his guard up, but Kid has him where he wants him. Bambi goes under the ring and pulls out a steel chair. She throws it to Kid, and he drives it into the throat of Shinobi. The crowd boos as he pretends the chair is a boom box. He then sets up the chair on Shinobi’s chest and motions for Bambi to come sit on his lap. She sits on his lap, and he tells the ringside photographer to get a good shot. She then shifts her position and begins making out with him while putting all of both of their weight on Shinobi. PI slides back into the ring and dropkicks her into Kid knocking them both over! He then lifts Musashi by their hair and delivers a brainbuster! He goes for the pin. 1...2...Kid breaks the pin. The champion looks furious. Kid tries to backpedal. PI kicks him in the midsection. Brainbuster! He then grabs Bambi by the hair. BRAINBUSTER RIGHT ON KID’S DICK!!!

Punk: HEAD TO HEAD! That was a babyface move, and you know it!

Mathews: The World Champion may have made it so The Kid can never reproduce.

Punk: Also a babyface move.

Mathews: He’s gotta pin somebody though!

Bambi rolls to the floor as PI goes to pin The Kid. 1...2..NO! Shinobi breaks it. He throws the champion to the floor. He goes to pin Kid himself. 1...2...NO! Kid manages to kick out. Shinobi gives Kid some space as he plans his next attack. The Kid gets up slowly. KO KICK! We could have a new champion. Shinobi struggles to roll Kid onto his back. 1...2...Kid gets his foot on the fucking rope. The Texan cannot believe it. He actually pounds the mat in frustration. He cracks his neck before picking Kid up by the hair. SHADES OF RT, SHINOBI HITS KID WITH THE BEER BLASTER! 1….2….FLYIN’ PI ONTO BOTH MEN! PI THROWS SHINOBI TO THE FLOOR. HE PINS KID. 1...2...3!!!!
Winner, by pinfall, and STILL FFCW World Champion, PI

[PI rolls off The Kid as the referee sets the FFCW World Championship on him.]

Mathews: One step closer to the end.

Punk: Who’s he going to face though?

Mathews: We are about to find out who will get the final shot at the FFCW World Championship. Let’s take a look at the bracket.



J-Rose: It is now time for your main event. I have been informed by Cody that anyone who interferes in this match will be suspended without pay until their contract expires.

[The crowd boos as Carmina Burana plays. Holzhammer makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: Holzhammer only competed once tonight, and he came out relatively unscathed.

Punk: He did go head to head with RT, who is a formidable opponent, but he certainly hasn’t taken the same level of damage as his opponent.

Mathews: Holzhammer and PI do have history together. If you remember, at the Right to Remain Violent a few years ago, Holzhammer abducted PI.

Punk: That’s all well and good, but do we want to let Game Over win this thing?!

[God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash plays, and jTj walks through the curtain. His neck is covered in kinetic tape.]

Mathews: After everything he’s been through tonight, if you’re jTj, do you try to live to fight another day?

Punk: What other day? Time is running out.

Mathews: That is true. You also have to factor in the pressure he’s put on himself.

Punk: He’s become friends with Cody. He wants to honor Cody’s father. He has to win this.

Mathews: But can he?

Punk: I don’t know.

All Rhodes Lead to The End
Finals
Holzhammer versus jTj
The official double checks with jTj that he wants to continue before calling for the bell. Holzhammer walks slowly to the center of the ring almost taunting the cowboy. jTj holds his neck in pain, takes a deep breath, and stiffens up as he slowly walks to face the devil. They lock eyes. Flash bulbs. Holzhammer grabs him by the side of the head and laughs as he goes for a headbutt. Jeff ducks and wraps around attempting a German suplex. He cannot get him up on the first try. He rallies and gets him up, throwing him with a German. They both roll over in opposite directions. Holzhammer, enraged that he was taken off his feet, lunges at him, only to be thrown with an arm drag. Holzhammer rolls to the floor in fury. He kicks the steel steps as he’s never been this vulnerable before. jTj climbs the ropes telling him to come back in. Then, a look of pensation comes over his eyes before deciding to come off the top rope with a double axle handle to the floor! The crowd is shocked! It’s pure adrenaline as he throws him into the guard rail. He then throws him into the stairs. He grabs Holz by the hair and body slams him onto the floor! The crowd is in awe!

Mathews: Did we underestimate The Last Cowboy?!

Punk: He’s still in the fight, but the longer this match goes, the most it favors Holzhammer.

The official tells them to come back into the ring. jTj washes Holzhammer’s face with his cowboy boot. He then lifts the steel stairs almost over his head, but he drops them suddenly in pain. He rolls back into the ring on five, and the steel stairs are on top of Holzhammer. The official goes to check on him, and pulls the steel stairs off him. Holzhammer grabs the official by the shirt and pulls himself up. He slides into the ring and is met with a bombardment of stomps. Holzhammer is still in the ropes, so the official pulls The John Wayne of FFCW back. Holzhammer gets to his feet and moves to the corner. jTj comes in with a big splash. He starts throwing a series of right hands. The crowd is into it. He climbs to the second rope. He starts punching him. The crowd counts along. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7, but Holzhammer gets under his legs. Powerbomb in the center of the ring! jTj lets out a slight cry. The official tries to check on him, but Holzhammer pushes him out of the way going for the pin. 1...2...NO! jTj kicks out.

Mathews: How do you get dropped on your head like that and get kicked out?

Punk: Miracles? Passion? I don’t know. jTj doesn’t know how to quit.

Mathews: To the best of my knowledge, Holzhammer has never been pinned.

Punk: Maybe when he was a young boy in Germany, but certainly never here.

Holzhammer grabs Jeff by the ear to pick him up. He Irish whips him into the corner, hard. He comes in and goes for a chop, but jTj ducks. He reverses it and delivers several left jabs to the head of Holzhammer busting him open! The trickle of blood comes down the devil’s face, and he is incensed. He grabs jTj and puts him in the corner. He delivers a series of rock hard chops causing the cowboy’s chest to bleed. The official tries to get them out of the corner. He shoves him out of the way. Holzhammer touches the blood on his forehead before chopping him some more. The official threatens to disqualify Holzhammer when he finally backs out of the corner. jTj coughs as he starts walking out of the corner bending over. Holzhammer grabs him and delivers a DDT on the mat. He rolls him over before going for the pin. 1...2...NO! Holzhammer slaps down on the mat. He begins to stalk jTj in frustration. He grabs him in a front chancery. jTj gets into the ropes. The official calls for the break. 1...2...3...4...Holzhammer reluctantly breaks the submission. He immediately grabs the arm of jTj and pulls him to the center of the ring before locking in a rear naked choke.

Mathews: Holzhammer showing his submission prowess.

Punk: We’re really not used to seeing this side of Holzhammer.

Mathews: Not many people put him in a predicament where he cannot simply overpower him.

Punk: Holzhammer was trained in Germany where he learned a lot of this style.

The official gets into position and asks Jeff if he wants to give up, but he shakes his head ‘no’. He struggles to prevent Holzhammer from wrapping his legs around him. He then flips onto Holzhammer in a pinning predicament! 1...2...NO! Holzhammer kicks out. jTj rolls to the corner to start picking himself up. Holzhammer looks furious. He rushes jTj in the corner. Nobody home! Jeff hits a kick to the midsection. He uses all of his strength to get the big man onto the top turnbuckle. He looks like he may be trying to get him up for the super Falcon Arrow again, but Holzhammer shoves him off landing on the apron. Holzhammer climbs down and approaches jTj on the apron. CHOKESLAM ON THE APRON! Holzhammer rolls jTj into the ring to finish him off. The official checks to see if jTj is conscious, and Holzhammer demands he counts the pin. 1...2...JEFF PUTS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE.

Mathews: What is he going to have to do? What is it going to take to put this man away?!

Punk: Come on, Josh! That was pure instinct. If he had been in the middle of the ring, it would have been over.

Mathews: At this point, what the-

Holzhammer pushes past Josh to grab the folding chair behind him. He throws it into the ring. The official grabs it and throws it back to the floor. Holzhammer shakes his head as he grabs another chair and takes it with him into the ring. Holzhammer threatens the official with the chair who points to the ‘FFCW’ logo on his shirt. The Devil Himself shakes his head before walking away from the official and heading toward Jeff with the chair.He lifts it over his head when the official grabs it and pulls it out of his hands throwing it onto the floor as it crashes onto the steel stairs introduced earlier in the match. Holzhammer looks at the chair then at the official. JTJ CHARGES HIM WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE SENDING THEM BOTH OVER THE TOP ROPE. The official looks down at them before he begins to count.

1….



2….


3…

Mathews: What happens if this ends in a double count out?

Punk: I have no idea. I’m glad that’s not a decision I have to make, though.

4… They start to stir.


5...Holzhammer is up

6...He gets onto the apron.


“Hey! You think I’m down you son of a bitch?!” jTj jumps onto the apron.

7…

They exchange blows.

8...PATRIOT PLEX ON THE APRON!

9…

JTJ ROLLS INTO THE RING!

Holzhammer rolls onto the floor.

10!
Winner, by count out, of the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament, jTj

Mathews: He did it! He did it! I don’t believe it!

Punk: Not how he would want to win, I’m sure, but he cemented his spot!

[‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’ plays as jTj’s hand is raised in victory. Crew members start wheeling a trophy down to the ring. jTj watches with a tear in his eye…



PI LEVELS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE FFCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!]

PI: HEROES

BITCH!

Minor thing, but can I just say I love your treatment of count-out rules so much more than WWE or any wrestling promotion I recall ever seeing? Being on the apron is not being in the ring. So it shouldn't affect the count. And I love the count not reseting stupidly. Gives you the opportunity and ability to book actually dramatic count-out finishes like you did there with the Patriot Plex onto the apron. Fucking awesome attention to detail and nuanced booking.

Minor thing, but can I just say I love your treatment of count-out rules so much more than WWE or any wrestling promotion I recall ever seeing? Being on the apron is not being in the ring. So it shouldn't affect the count. And I love the count not reseting stupidly. Gives you the opportunity and ability to book actually dramatic count-out finishes like you did there with the Patriot Plex onto the apron. Fucking awesome attention to detail and nuanced booking.

I've always operated under the rule that the shoulders need to be between the ropes to break the count.

[The show opens with a red carpet in the ring along with the giant trophy. “Kingdom” by Downstait plays, and Cody makes his way down to the ring.]

Cody: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d be lying if I said I liked the way the tournament ended Saturday night. Don’t get me wrong. I’m PROUD of jTj for winning, but I would’ve loved to see it end in the middle of the ring with a count of three. The thing is, Holzhammer and KJ seem to think they can do whatever they want around here. They need to be shut up, and I have no problem taking those matters into my own hands. Two weeks from tonight, I will step into the ring with KJ and Holzhammer in a tag team match. Please welcome the man who will stand by my side in two weeks. The WINNER of the All Rhodes Lead to The End Tournament, and the person who will be the LAST challenger for the FFCW World Championship, jTj!

[The crowd pops as God’s Gonna Cut You Down plays. jTj walks through the curtain wearing a black button down, jeans, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. He walks down to the ring. He puts a hand on the trophy with a tear in his eye then hugs Cody.]

jTj Man, if you told me when I came back for this round of FFCW, I would be standing in the ring with one of the greatest wrestlers in the sport today being honored for winning a tournament in his family’s name, I...I don’t know what I’d think. It’s an honor to be here, Cody. It’s an honor to call you a partner. It’s an honor to call you, over the last few months, a friend. I look at this trophy, and…

[THE LIGHTS GO OUT!


PI THROWS THE TROPHY AT JTJ! THE CROWD IS SHOCKED AS HE DRIVES THE TOP OF THE TROPHY INTO THE MAN WHO WON IT.HE THEN THROWS IT OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE TAKING OFF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND WHIPPING JTJ WITH IT! CODY FINALLY GETS BETWEEN THEM.]

Cody: Back up you son of a bitch! I said he would be the last challenger for the FFCW World Championship, but I never said his match for the title would be your next defense. No, as a matter of fact, you’re defending that title tonight against JJ who got screwed out of the tournament by WMS. And the winner of that match will face Shinobi Musashi for the title next week seeing as he was never pinned in the triple threat match. And you better believe the final episode of Quake will be main evented by an FFCW World Championship Match! jTj is getting the last shot at the title, but there will be AT LEAST three defenses between now and then. And you’ll have to forgive me for being biased, but I hope you’re NOT in the last FFCW World Championship Match! Now get your ass back to the locker room and get ready for your match while you still have a job.

Mathews: What an explosive opening to Quake!

Punk: I hope they didn’t spend too much on that trophy.

Mathews: Well, counting tonight, there are four Quakes left before our final event, Heroes Stand Tall.

Punk: It really could be the last FFCW event ever.

J-Rose: Our opening contest is a SINGLES match , already in the ring, Franchise!

[The crowd pops as In the Castle by Wolfmother plays, WMVP makes his way down to the ring. ]

Mathews: WMVP has been having a roller coaster year. Things started out pretty well. He won the Sub-Forum Championship, but then when he lost it, it started a bit of a losing streak.

Punk: Momentum is so important as we get closer to the last Quake and Heroes Stand Tall.

Mathews: Maybe a victory here could send him on that trajectory.

Singles Match
WMVP versus Franchise
The two men from across the pond lock up, and WMVP takes his opponent to the mat with a headlock takeover. He works him over, and the official asks if Franchise wants to give it up. He does not. WMVP tries to transition into the Viaje Vice, but Franchise uses that opportunity to escape. He delivers some boots to WMVP, and throws him on the middle rope where he chokes him. The official calls for the break, and he gets it on four. Franchise argues with him, but he gets a Reverse Rana for his trouble. It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, WMVP

BREAKING NEWS: FFCW EVENT CENTER

[Baker appears in a suit sitting next to an old TV set.]

Baker: Boy, that match was boring. This is Baker, and I’m here on the FFCW Event Center to bring you New Generation News! They call me the Savior of the New Generation, and I’d have to say, the New Generation is the only thing that could’ve saved us from that match. WMVP. What’s his shtick? He’s wrestled in a bunch of different countries? Who does he think he is? Ludvig Borga? Hakushi? The Mountie? Bleh. I’ve got a big announcement for In Your House: Heroes Stand Tall-

***Static***

Mathews: What the hell was that?

Punk: I have no idea.

J-Rose: Up next, we’ve got another singles match! Already in the ring, from RIGHT HERE in Chicago, Illinois, Mal!

[The crowd boos as Congratulations by Post Malone plays. Bambi twerks on stage before The Kid comes through the curtain.]

Mathews: The Kid held the World Championship for about three months, but he lost it at The Right to Remain Violent. Ever since then, he’s struggled to catch his momentum.

Punk: This road to Heroes Stand Tall, it seems like momentum is the name of the game.

Mathews: I love Mal, but it shouldn’t be too hard for The Kid to regain his momentum here.

Punk: Definitely not.

Singles Match
Mal versus The Kid [w/Bambi]
The official calls for the bell, and they lock up. Kid throws Mal down and says ‘You Ain’t Nothin’. Mal shoots up and hits Kid with a step up Enziguri. He goes off the ropes and jumps up hitting him with a DDT. He goes off the ropes, but Bambi grabs his ankle. The official chastises her, and Kid kicks Mal between the legs. He goes off the ropes. No Kidding! He goes for the pin. 1...2...3.
Winner, by pinfall, The Kid

[The referee is raising The Kid’s hand when T-Money attacks him from behind! He hits him with a double ax handle before locking eyes with Bambi as he hits him with The Moneymaker. He then makes the “Make it Rain” gesture as cash begins to fall from the ceiling.]

Punk: Did you get one? That’s our bonus!

Mathews: It says “Heroes Stand Tall”, and there are pictures of Kid and Bambi with x’s on their faces on the back.

Punk: Well, that sounds like a challenge in fake paper money form.

Mathews: Well, we need to send it back to Cathy Kelley.

Punk: Somebody get a broom.

[The cameras cut to the back where Cathy Kelley is standing by with KJ, Holzhammer and Ness collectively known as GAME OVER.]

Kelley: GAME OVER, you won half of your matches at Dream On, and you lost the other half. How do you respond to that and Cody’s challenge for two weeks from tonight.

KJ: Cody-

Holzhammer: I only have one thing to say. Going into Dream On, I had never been pinned, and I have STILL NEVER been pinned.

KJ: That’s right. The man has never been pinned. jTj, a man I once called my best friend, you sit on a throne of lies.You got lucky against me, you cheated to beat T-Money, and you cheated to beat Holzhammer. Some people will ignore that because you’re John Wayne and you’re a White Knight, and you’re a cowboy, but I won’t. You were handed the FFCW World Championship when all of this started, but when it comes time to earn it, you will FAIL miserably. Ness is the Sub-Forum Champion, and to be honest, I don’t really care. If I didn’t think they’d sue us, I’d tell him to throw it away. Our mission is clear, and it hasn’t changed. We’re going to dismantle every element of this company. You notice how you won’t see certain people anymore. The Dazzler, CK, Legacy, and more. You can blame us for that. No one is safe.

[The cameras cut back to the ring where J-Rose is standing.]

J-Rose: Already in the ring, Radikal and Raven Star, the Men Who Sold the World!



J-Rose: I’ve just been informed this will now be two singles matches. Introducing first, Radikal!

[The crowd pops as Going Out in Style by The Dropkick Murphys plays, and RT makes his way down to the ring.]

Mathews: This was originally going to be a tag team match? Are we that far ahead of schedule?

Punk: Show is just now five pages.

Mathews: Well, RT lost in the first round of the All Rhodes Lead to The End tournament. He then proceeded to slap Shinobi Musashi in the face.

Punk: Yeah, I think there’s a little healthy professional jealousy between those two, but this is pro wrestling, so it’s probably going to escalate until they want to kill each other, you know?

[The crowd is surprised when Started from the Bottom by Drake plays, and Shinobi Musashi has a steel chair in hand. He unfolds the chair on the stage and sits down to watch the match.]

Singles Match
RT versus Radikal [w/Raven Star]
RT gets on the middle rope and tells Shinobi to take notes. Radikal jumps him from behind. He has the early advantage. He frequently distracts the official so Raven can choke him on the middle rope. He hits him with the Rad-I-Kill, but RT kicks out. He manages to get the crowd behind him for his comeback. He hits him with the Beer Blaster, and it’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, RT

Mathews: The same Beer Blaster Shinobi tried to regain the FFCW World Championship with at Dream On I might add.

Punk: Right, but it’s RT’s move.

[Shinobi doesn’t wait as he slides into the ring and yells for Raven to fight him!]

Singles Match
Shinobi Musashi versus Raven Star [w/Radikal]
Shinobi hits him with a shoulder block out of the gate. He then throws him with a German Suplex. He keeps his grip and rolls over for a second German! He tries for the third one when Radikal grabs his ankle. RT then grabs the microphone, and yells “Hold on! Hold on! I’ve got something more interesting to say!” Raven Star gets distracted by this, Shinobi cocks back, and he levels him with the KO Kick. He hits a third German with a bridge. It’s over.
Winner, by pinfall, Shinobi Musashi

RT: As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. Earlier tonight, Cody informed Shinobi Musashi he would main event next week’s Quake in a World Championship Match. I felt that match lacked main event flare, so I made a suggestion, and Cody agreed. Next week, when you face the World Champion? There’s going to be a special guest referee, and in the words of Justin Timberlake, “It’s gonna be MEEEE!”

Mathews: Well, how about that for a surprise twist?

Punk: I just hope he calls it down the middle.

J-Rose: It is now time for our main event.

[Sharp Dressed Man plays by ZZ Top as JJ makes his way down to the ring in the gold gear instead of his traditional white.]

Mathews: How many times has this guy said my next match could be my last?

Punk: He’s said it many times, but tonight he faces a maniac.

Mathews: That’s true. It could be more realistic than ever. He got his shot ripped away in the tournament, and lucky for him, Cody believes in second chances.

Punk: I could be wrong, but I believe this is his first one on one shot at the title.

[The lights go out. Sink to the Beat plays, and PI walks down to the ring with the championship wrapped around his waist.]

Mathews: It’s disturbing to think about what this man was willing to do to become FFCW World Champion.

Punk: He tried to go down the right path though, and he couldn’t get back to the top.

Mathews: I just wish he could’ve taken a different road.

Punk: He tried fighting jTj and other people’s battles for so long that he had to do some crazy shit to get on top. He’s always been a master of mind games.

FFCW World Championship Match
JJ versus PI ©
The bell rings, and PI can barely wait. He attacks The Gentleman showing the absolute savage he is. He throws a myriad of strikes at him, and the crowd is clearly on the side of JJ. However, things are not looking good for him. PI hits a Canadian Destroyer, but JJ gets his foot on the rope. The Masked Maniac is incensed. He throws on a headlock, but JJ powers through. The Gentleman starts to show the Champion what he’s made of. He hits a series of back breakers targeting the spine on the champion. He signals for the Boston Crab! He gets it locked in. WMS jumps in and hits him with a double axe handle!
Winner, by DQ, JJ. Still FFCW World Champion, PI

Mathews: Come on!

Punk: Did you really expect anything less though?

[WMS looks very proud of himself and begins to taunt the crowd. JJ attacks him from behind and dumps him over the top rope. He takes off his belt and begins to whip WMS who runs through the crowd. JJ follows him, and they fight into the crowd. jTj walks on stage as the referee hands PI the World Championship back.]

jTj: One defense down. Two to go. I am gonna cut...you...down.
