WELCOME TO FUTURE STARS OF WRESTLING!!
The opening pyros hit and here we go.
The camera pans around showing the excited crowd jumping for joy in anticipation for the beginning of the show.
"HOPE IS QUEEN"
"UNLOCK MY HEART MAGGIE"
"PURPLE PRINCESS"
...and the show opens with James Tyson standing center ring, mic in hand.
JT: Welcome to Future Stars! And tonight...we find out who will be entered into the Tournament of Power! What is the ToP? It is a round robin style tournament that will determine who will face the FSW Champion at WrestleFest! Four ladies and four gentlemen will do battle against each other over the next few weeks, with a win getting you three points, a draw one, and nothing for the losers of the matches. The top two point earners on each side will advance to the semis at FSW 49, and those winners will face off at the season finale to go on to WrestleFest. Six spots will be determined tonight, with the final two being determined at Night of Champions. With that being said, let's start the show...Dick, Frankie..take it away!
Shelby: Well thanks boss...and what a concept! a 5 show tournament to determine who will face the champ at WrestleFest!
Wright: Somebody will get a dream shot, and looking at the qualifiers, it could very well shoot a couple people or more into stardom! Let's get started!
These two are no strangers, and they didn't waste time locking horns. Both ladies delivered on the intensity, and neither one was looking to give an inch. BEH took early control, but it was short lived, as Lexie took control with some aggressive moves, and one Shattered Glass later, puts her name into the ToP with a decisive victory.
Larson and the debuting Hartwell went strong, as both men wanted to get a leg up with the stakes as they are. James nor Rush could get a real advantage on one another. After a lot of back and forth action, and several near falls, Hartwell saw an opening for Heaven Sent, but Larson managed to reverse it into a Chain Breaker for the win and the ToP spot.
The debuting Trinity was given a tough challenge against Cheyenne, who's been on a bit of a tear. Trinity acquitted herself well, but she was overwhelmed by Cheyenne, who hit her with a good amount of offense before the Woman's Scorn for the win.
A big man, an FSW vet, and a debuting star. This made for a combustible match, and did it deliver. Matt Angel was looking to set the tone early with Hatchet Gully, but at every turn, the big man Kurtis managed to keep himself in the picture. Meanwhile, Gully went into the fray after both and held his own. In the end, Gully was able to take down theb ig man with a Hidden Path to Shangri-La, but the debuting Angel suprised Gully with the Fallen...and getting an upset victory.
The FSW cameras pick up Xavier Reid as he is walking out of his lock room and heading towards guerilla position for his Triple Threat and ToP Number 1 Contender Tournament match.
He turns the corner where Destiny Fairchild is waiting with a camera man of her own. She steps out in the path of Xavier Reid…
Destiny Fairchild: Excuse me Xavier, Destiny Fairchild with Future Stars of Wrestling…
Xavier Reid: Yeah sweetheart I know where I’m at…
Destiny Fairchild: Fair enough, tonight you make your return to EWC and your debut with FSW in a Triple Threat match against fellow newcomers Lancer and Ian Icon and ONE of you will advance in the Tournament of Power to decide a new Number 1 Contender for the FSW Championship, some have gone as far as to say you are the man to beat here tonight in this match and one to watch in the ToP tournament but do you feel this is a bit premature given you haven’t been inside any ring in almost two years and let’s be honest are a newcomer to almost everyone making up the FSW right now?
Xavier Reid: We that was a rather long winded way of asking my if the Xavier Reid hype is real and I get it, we live in a world of ‘what have you done for me lately’ right…where if you are not in that ring each and ever week those people forget all about you and EVERYTHING you have done in the past…it’s as if you never wrestled before to those people. Here is the thing Miss Fairchild…the day I start caring about what those people think is the day I put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. I don’t do this for them or anyone other than me…I came back to the EWC because it’s the one place here gold eluded me in the past…it’s the one place where Xavier Reid wasn’t a success and I’m here to right that wrong. Now I know…the FSW is all excited about Lance and Ian Icon…they think they have two young raising stars in them, two people the FSW can build around for years to come but they made the mistake of a lifetime booking them against me because you know that happens when you put two green kids in that ring with a World Champion like myself…
Destiny looks at Xavier and plays along…
Destiny Fairchild: They get hurt…
Xavier Reid: I’m going to send a clear message to the rest of the FSW roster that a change is coming…that they have been knocked down a rung on that ladder now that I have arrived here in FSW and I’m putting EVERYONE on notice…not just the FSW roster, oh no…I’m putting the entire EWC roster on notice…that Xavier Reid is here and things are about to get very interesting…
Xavier stops mid-sentence, and both he and Fairchild look off-screen. The camera zooms out, and the Corbett Sports Center crowd explodes as Undisputed Championship contender Ace King appears in the shot, staring Reid down. Xavier slowly squares up to Ace, whose expression doesn't change.
Ace King: So, we finally meet. Even though we've never met before now, I know who you are, and what you're capable of. Your brother warned me about you.
Xavier smirks…
Xavier Reid: Of course he did…he saw what I did to our dear old father…what I did to our mute of a brother…so it makes perfect sense that we would take time out of his busy schedule filming what I can only guess will be another straight to DVD piece of crap movie to pick up the phone and call his little pal and warn him about the big bad Xavier Reid…you should consider yourself lucky Ace…the fact that he even lifted a finger to warn you was more than he ever did for Chico or Vertigo…his own blood…that only tells me that my brother values El Pablo marks more than his own flesh and blood and why wouldn’t he right…guys like you and Krimzon Blaze…running around after him being his biggest fans in the world…or maybe you are as stupid as Blaze was and really believe that the two of you were as close as ‘brother’s’…did he sell you on that lie also…that you Ace are the brother that he chose and wasn’t stuck with…what else did El Pablo tell you about me Ace…that I ambitious…violent…that I will not stop or let anyone stand in the way of me getting what I want…
Xavier’s smirk disappears from his face as he looks Ace in the eyes…
Xavier Reid: That I can’t be trusted…that telling me you have anything to do with my brother will put a target on your back…that you should grow eyes in the back of your head…
Xavier smiles and laughs a cold little laugh…
Xavier Reid: Just in case of course someone tried to harm you…
Ace King: The specifics of what was said, I'll choose to keep to myself. Of course, words only mean so much when there's nothing left to be said, so I'll have to rely on the eye test. You know what I see?
Ace tilts his head to the side, his eyes never leaving Xavier.
Ace King: I see a man who knows that, no matter what he does, he can't escape that shadow. That's part of why you came back, right? Validation? Making up for lost time?
Xavier Reid: Well looky here, Ace King playing armchair shrink…thinking that he knows me…what I’ve been through and who I am…it’s cute really…I mean I see your mouth moving but it’s like I’m hearing my brothers words coming out of your mouth Ace…
Xavier looks around to the back of Ace and then looks back up at him…
Xavier Reid: For a second there I was half expecting to see El Pablo’s arm up your ass making your mouth move like the little puppet you are…let me ask you something ‘Big Man on the EWC Campus’ if I’m just someone living in the shadows looking for validation then how in the world did I get on your radar…
Xavier looks at Ace but quickly starts talking again…
Xavier Reid: Don’t answer that it’s rhetorical…you see you have me all wrong Ace…you and the rest of my family, you think I’m chasing the ghost that is El Pablo when in fact I have come to the realization that he is just that…a ghost. Someone who is dead and long gone from this business, someone who didn’t have the…Skittles to come out and face me when I was tearing down our own father and our own brother right in front of his eyes.
Xavier widens his eyes as he looks at Ace
Xavier Reid: Did he call you Ace, the second he found out I was back here in the EWC, hoping and praying that maybe you would solve his Xavier Reid problem for him? That maybe you would put aside your once in a life time chance at the EWC Undisputed World Championship Title to run down here on the eve of that match to what…set me straight, to warn me…or what was it, oh yes to rely on your own eyes to see what I’m all about…well it looks like you did just that buddy.
Xavier puts his hand on Ace’s shoulder
Xavier Reid: I’m glad you came down tonight, I’m happy to know you will be watching this here tonight…that your very own eyes will be glued to me inside that ring in just mins so you can see for yourself what Xavier Reid is all about…and then be a good little dog and run back to my brother and tell him all about you have seen me up close and personal and crush him with the hard truth that his brother…The Bastard of Volando…has not lost a step inside that ring, that he is al good as they all say and that it’s best for him to stay far away…where he is safe and where I can’t touch him…like maybe Rampage…that’s a pretty safe place wouldn’t you say Ace?
Ace's expression remains stoic, waiting patiently for Xavier to finish; once he does, he gestures to his right with his thumb.
Ace King: Hotel's just around the corner, bud. Trust me, I wasn't THAT obsessed.
Ace offers Xavier a smirk before he calmly raises an eyebrow.
Ace King: If you must know, I originally came here to scout Kristian Bane ahead of Rampage, as well as lay the groundwork to settle a score with one Megan Treamon... No bounties needed... But since I'm here, yes, I'll be watching. I have to say, though, you're doing a lot more talking than I expected. When you want to throw your words away and let actions speak louder... You know where to find me.
Ace's smirk gives way to a stonefaced expression before taking his leave. Xavier watches as Ace turns the corner and walks out of sight…
Xavier Reid: Yeah…The Greensboro Coliseum tomorrow night…
Xavier looks back at Destiny before walking towards the ring…
Three men looking to make an early impact and take a big step forward in their respective debuts faced off here, as Lancer, Icon and Reid squared off in this encounter. Icon got things off to an early start with his power offense, but Lancer and his unique brand of offense managed partly steal the show as he made a good showing of himself, keep the entire match off balance. Reid managed to get caught up early and wasn't in the action at first, but came on strong towards the end, hitting Lancer with the X-Ecution to get the win.
The Prime crossover star Criss Cassidy, making his first appearance in an FSW ring, takes on the FSW mainstay Kristian Bane, in what turned out to be a helluva contest. Criss tried at first to take the big man Bane head on, but found no luck there, getting pushed back and taking punishment for his trouble. Bane settled in quickly, using his power moves and size advantage to try to wear down the smaller Cassidy. Criss tried to fight from under Bane, using quick strikes and managing to wriggle free, then going back on the offensive, taking to the air. Criss got Bane off his feet and started to work him over with quick hitting kicks to the chest, sticking and moving, but Bane managed to turn the tables again and nearly take Criss out with a Bane effect, but only getting a two count. Bane went for another Bane Effect, but Criss managed to reverse it, and go back on the offensive, hitting a big Heaven's Gate, then transitioning into The Christening for the pin and win, closing out the show standing tall.
