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.
"We Miss Maggie"
"Otaki back?"
"Conner's Crushers"
-”The Vengeful One” by Disturbed blares throughout the state-of-the-art sound/P.A system. We see Kristian Bane and Alexis Glass walk onto the top of the stage and look out into the sea of fans. They both are wearing Maggie Lockheart T-shirts and are clapping for there faithful leader who is no longer in FSW. Bane and Glass slide into the ring where both of them have a mic.-
Wright: What is Kristian Bane and Lexie Glass doing out here? And what is with those Magdalena Lockheart t-shirts they're wearing.
Shelby: I don't have a clue, Frankie. But we are about to find out.
Bane: Now I know all of you came here tonight with the hopes to see Maggie. We all know that she was a fantastic champion. After Otaki was detroned I knew Maggie would carry this brand into super stardom! We then got the news that she would not be returning. Oh yeah we were bummed and upset. So I took it upon myself to make a few phone calls and we managed to get Maggie to come here TONIGHT!!
-Bane and Glass nod there head loving the idea. These fans pop loud for the announcement that Maggie would be here.-
Wright: What?
Shelby: No way.
Bane: So without further ado let me introduce you to THE PRINCESS OF FSW MAGDELENA LOCKHEART!!!
-The deep heartbeat bass of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” drops over the arena’s public announce speakers as The Princess of FSW Magdalena Lockheart emerges from behind the curtain. Magdalena steps out into the center of an amber spotlight wearing a long black dress. She looks up smiling at Bane and Glass with the utmost amount of pride in her eyes. Bane holds the ropes for Maggie as she steps through the ropes and gives Glass a big hug and follows with Bane. Bane and Glass raise Maggies arms up as she gets a huge pop from the crowd.-
Shelby: She's here, Frankie. Maggie is right here. How did Kristian Bane and Lexie Glass pull this off?
Wright: And what is the boss, James Tyson, going to say about this? He stated that he never wanted to see Magdalena Lockheart again after he fired her from FSW two weeks ago.
Shelby: Don't get me wrong, I am glad to see Magdalena Lockheart here tonight. But I am quite shocked to see her here in Frisco, Texas. This is a big surprise, Frankie.
Wright: I know what you mean, Dick. I am shocked, as well. And so are these fans. But they are so glad to see Magdalena here in the Dr. Pepper Arena.
Shelby: And she's as beautiful as ever.
Wright: Heel, boy.
Bane: So you’re probably wondering how we got you here, well I called James Tyson and asked for a favor. I know I’ll have to pay this one back and thats fine. You deserve a proper send-off and thats what were going to give you.
Wright: And this is a big favor.
Shelby: I agree, but it's worth it to have Maggie here tonight.
Glass:. That's right. You deserve to be honored and celebrated here tonight. After all you have done here and accomplished in almost a year’s time, last week was not the proper way to end your career here in FSW. This is the way for it to end.
Maggie is now in tears as the crowd is cheering for her, chanting her name. She tries to take the Mike to speak, but Lexie cuts her off.
Glass: Hold on. I also want to say that I love you, Maggie. You are my best friend forever. Kristian loves you, and listen to this crowd. They love you.
Crowd cheers as they chant Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. Glass wipes the tears from her eyes.
Glass: It won't be the same without you here, Maggie. We love you and will miss you.
Shelby: Wow, I am speechless. What a moment, Frankie. This is the farewell that Maggie deserves, and I damn sure will miss her.
Wright: It won't be the same here without Magdalena Lockheart. She has made a contribution to this company, and will no doubt leave a huge void that will be hard to fill.
The crowd cheers as Maggie and Lexie tearfully hug. Then Kristian Bane hugs her. With one on each side and Maggie in the middle, Bane and Glass raise both of Lockheart’s arms in the air. However, after letting go, Bane clotheslines Maggie while Lexie has a huge smile on her face as the fans start to boo.
Wright: What the hell?
Shelby: What is going on? What is the meaning of this, Frankie?
Boos are now deafening as Lexie goes and gets on top of her banging her head on the mat before throwing some left and rights on Maggie.
Bane: GET HER UP!!
-Glass picks Lockheart up and whips her into Bane who once against nails a monsterous clothesline almost decapitating Maggie.-
Bane: Maggie, THIS IS YOUR REALITY CHECK!! We never needed you! We never respected you! You held us all down while you went straight to the top! NOT ANYMORE! You really think James Tyson allowed you back for a proper sendoff? Hell no! The motives were clear, We will destroy Magdelena Lockheart for good!
-Bane gets Maggie up and holds her there as Glass nails a jaw shattering superkick that absolutely lays out Maggie as Bane and Glass hug each other and raise there arms to a chorus of boo’s from the crowd!-
Shelby:. Someone needs to come down and put an end to this.
Wright:. I hate to say it, but that is highly unlikely. Maggie Lockheart has made a lot of enemies in the locker room these past few months.
Shelby:. You're right, but she doesn't deserve this. Nobody does.
Bane: You were NEVER strong enough to be the great leader we all hoped you’d be!! Instead you held us all down while you concerned yourself with whatever made you a star! NOT ANYMORE!!
Glass:. That's right. We did the work, took the beatings, while you got to be Champion and bask in the glory! But those days are gone. James Tyson wasn't going to allow you to come back here and ride off into the sunset. No. You were brought back here tonight to be eliminated. So long, bitch.
-FSW refs and medics flood the ring to check on Maggie as she is bleeding from her mouth while crying out in agony from multiple contusions from both Bane and Glass. Bane.-
-Maggie is against the ropes and looks to be getting up and looks right at Bane and Glass and flips them the finger. Bane runs to the ring and hoist Maggie up and nails not 1, not 2 but 3 powerbombs in succession! Bane rolls out of the ring with a smile on his face as Glass and Bane high five and hug as Maggie lays unconscious in the ring as Bane and Glass are proud of there handy work.
Bane:You have all just witnessed the rising of Kristian Bane and Alexis Glass, THE SYNDICATE!!! AND THIS IS YOUR REALITY CHECK, BITCHES!!!
Wright: Wow. What do you make of this, Dickie?
Shelby:. I don't know, Frankie. Except that it is a good thing for Maggie that Conner and Reid came when they did. And Kristian Bane and Alexis Glass just showed the World how dangerous they are. Is anyone here in FSW safe?
Wright:. I don't know,. Dick. But The Syndicate will be a dangerous threat to anyone in that locker room. Bane and Glass set out to make a statement, and that statement has been made. FSW may never be the same again.
The FSW camera cut to the back as Xavier Reid walks into the Dr. Pepper Arena and Destiny Fairchild is there waiting for him.
Destiny Fairchild: Xavier, if we could get a quick word…
Xavier stops and looks at Destiny, nods and walks towards the camera as he adjusts the FSW Championship over his shoulder.
Destiny Fairchild: First off I wanted to congratulate you on your Stranglemania win and becoming the NEW FSW Champion but it doesn’t seem be a welcomed transition to many here in the FSW.
Xavier smiles at Destiny and sort of laughs
Xavier Reid: I have long given up on wanting universal praise for what I do inside that ring.
Destiny Fairchild: Well some have even gone as far to call into question the validity of your win over Magdalena Lockheart at Stranglemania.
Xavier Reid: You can say names Destiny, it’s public record, Mark McNair said it to a FSW camera but Destiny if I obsessed about every crazy thing that was said by green as grass members of this roster I would spend all my waking days screaming into a camera like a crazy person. You know Magdalena better than most around here but I like to believe I know a thing or two about her and if you think for one second she would just hand over this belt after everything she went through to get it...well maybe the FSW doctors need to check out Mark McNair for some sort of brain trauma I know he’s new to this business but a champion never just willingly hands over a championship and in Magdalena’s case look at what she did to win this, she burned everything down here to call herself FSW Champion and you say what James Tyson did to her last week, he fired her and deep down she had to know that was the end game in all this once her days of being the FSW Champion was over but sure, yeah she was willing to just hand over all her hard work.
Xavier shakes his head at the stupidity of that idea
Xavier Reid: But I get it, people around here don’t like the idea of this belt being around my waist, they like to say I failed at Wrestlefest and I would say ok...well what happened at Stranglemania...you want to point out my failure but ignore my success...I guess you can to make sure I fit into the narrative you have of me, being that guy that what is it...oh yeah, fails to get it done when the lights are brightest. Well clearly you have done zero homework on me and are just shooting shit from your mouth trying to get my attention because asking the champ out for dinner won’t work this time around but lucky for everyone I’m not a hard man to find, I’m here each and every show, just like every other champion before me but people around here like get pissy when their champion shows up on Brawl and Rampage and claim they are not fully invested in the FSW and sorry that’s just not the case. We are on those shows to promote the FSW, to give those bitching a better opportunity and more eyes on them via us because the truth is Victor Price and Michael Saint don’t give a crap about the Mark McNair’s of the world until they can make money off them yet it’s not until someone like Magdalena goes to Brawl or Rampage and they see what she can do against the ‘stars’ of the EWC that they take notice of the FSW and I will continue that tradition that she set...that Otaki set regardless of what others around here think about it.
Xavier looks into the camera
Xavier Reid: You can call me a failure, call me washed up and past my prime, call me anything you want to make yourself feel like you might have a shot at replacing me here in the FSW...but don’t forget to call me the one thing I really am around here...YOUR FSW CHAMPION...because no matter how much you hate it, how much you resent me for it, how much you hate the fact it’s probably going to be the only bit of truth coming out of your mouth when you are talking about me. I don’t plan on dropping this title so if you want it, if you want to replace me here in the FSW then you are going to have to tear this damn thing away from me. You are going to have to come at me with more that gossip and something other than conspiracy theories about how this belt found its way to me because the simple truth is I became a champion because I am a champion, I have been a champion everywhere I have gone and I’ll be a champion long after most flame out and find their next career. So instead of bitching about me take a second, shut up and learn what it takes to climb this mountain and take a championship away from a champion and then...when that time comes...when that person presents themselves I will look them in the eyes and hand them this belt knowing the FSW is in good hands but until that time comes the FSW is in my hands and I’m hell bent on making sure we continue to show everyone in the EWC that the future is tomorrow...it’s not sometime down the road...but that the future is NOW...and we play second to nobody….
And with that Xavier smiles at Destiny and walks away
This match was an exercise in two people looking to set their records straight. Rayder, making his FSW debut taking on Elizabeth Chambers, looking to make good on her second match after suffering defeat last time out. Both took their time feeling each other out, trying to gain the upper hand, which Chambers does get after some good chaining with a enziguri that stops Rayder cold. She starts to work Rayder over in the upper back/neck area, trying to set up for her Screamer submission, but to little avail, as Rayder manages to work himself free and turn up the heat, going aerial and catching Chambers off guard. CHambers manages to corral Rayder and attempt a Warrior Cry, but eats only turnbuckle, giving Rayder time to climb up and hit Chambers with the Aire Rayde V2 to get the win.
The match starts off with Kyle Gautier a little tentative facing off against the former FSW Champion Otaki giving her the opening to take charge of the match. She is able to back Kyle into the corner where she unleashes a combination of ballistic punch and finishes it up with a spinning back kick. Kyle is a bit rockes and Otaki goes for an open handed slap but stops just shorts of Kylie’s face and smiles as she gives him a small ‘love’ pat on the cheek before backing away and allowing Kylie out of the corner causes the Frisco, TX to stand and cheer.
The match continues with a bunch of reversals, a drop toe hold by Kyle but as he goes to drop the elbow Otaki rolls out of the way, she takes Kyle down with a head lock but goes to drop a knee but Kylie rolls out of the way, Kylie gets to his feet first and nails a European Uppercut that send Otaki towards the ropes, she rounds and grabs her throat as the fans jump to their feet as she’s about to spit her mist but Kyle, having scouted and vocally worried all week about this, spots it and turns away just as Otaki FAKES the mist, Kyle, with his back turned away from Otaki does see her smiling as she grabs him around the waste and rolls him up into a pin. The referee drops and counts 1, 2...and Kyle just managers to get his shoulder up as the ref is inches away from the mat, he holds up 2 as Kyle looks back at him and then to Otaki as she grins and holds her fingers to show Kyle she was ‘that close’ to scoring the pin.
Kyle hits the ropes but Otaki catches him with a reverse elbow to the face, he staggers back into the corner and Otaki sees an opening she charges in and goes for a Butt Bump which she hits and Kyle falls to a seated position in the corner, Otaki looks and backs up and gives Kyle the Stinkface but Kyle seemed to enjoy it as Otaki pulls him to his feet, Kyle takes a wild swing and misses and Otaki jumps into the air and grabs Kyles by the head and nails the Grand Finale for the 1,2,3!!! She rolls off and gets to her feet and offers Kyle a hand. The fans cheer as he takes her hand and the two shake on a well fought match
The instrumental version of "Phenomenal" by Eminem hits over the speakers.
Shelby: What the heck is this?
Dominic Sanders steps out from the back wearing a grey suit. The crowd gives him an abnormally large pop as he walks down the ramp towards the ring.
Wright: I don't know, but it looks to me as if the Brawl superstar is headed into the ring.
Sanders, now on the ring apron, steps through the ropes and walks over to Deneen McQueen. He grabs the microphone as the music fades out.
Sanders: Hello Frisco, Texas!
The crowd pops at the mention of their city.
Sanders: Normally, I would be in Boston already getting ready for my match tomorrow night on Brawl against... Donkey Punch.
Sanders laughs for a second.
Sanders: Gets me every time. Anyway, my flight on Friday was supposed to be from New Orleans to Boston, but I made a change of plans. I figured that I could check out an FSW show for once. But there's more to it than just checking out a show. Really, I wanted to come here this evening because we are in freakin' TEXAS!
Another pop from the crowd.
Sanders: And it would be absolutely FOOLISH of me if I allowed an EWC event to occur in TEXAS where... Mark McNabb? McNibble? McNair? Whatever his name is... was the ONLY Texan to be on the show! Therefore... here I am! The greatest Texan in the EWC today! Now, I know what you're saying. 'Where were you when we were in El Paso a couple of weeks ago?' Come on folks... El Paso does not count as Texas. I know that. You know that. Maybe we can classify it as... Texico, if you will! But we all know that the greatest part of Texas is right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex!
A large pop from the crowd, scattered with a few boos from people outside of the area, showers the ring.
Sanders: Now... before I head on out to Boston, I wanted to catch a match between this fake Texan, Mark McDonald, and your Future Stars of Wrestling Champion Xavier Reid.
The mention of Xavier Reid causes a huge cheer from the crowd.
Sanders: Ah, yes. You guys love your FSW Champion. And I want to get a close-up shot of what this FSW business is all about! That's why I am going to sit right over there by the announce table and soak in some FSW wrestling for the rest of the evening! Don't mess with Texas, baby!
The crowd pops at the cheap 'proud-Texan' line as Sanders hands the microphone back to McQueen and he steps out of the ring. Sanders walks over to a chair next to the time-keeper's table and plops down, crossing his right ankle over his left knee as he kicks back and relaxes.
Mark McNair gets the early advantage on the FSW Champion, Xavier Reid, when he caught the leg of Reid as Reid went for strike to the side of McNair. McNair followed that with a Double Arm Underhook DDT. McNair keeps up the pressure with an Alabama Slam and a Running Senton. He goes for the cover but the FSW Champion kicks out. He waits for Reid to get back to his feet. He goes for the Mark 1 Missle but Reid is ready for it, escapes the contact, jumps on then off the ropes as McNair gets to his feet, and Reid connects with a Springboard Superman Punch. Reid goes for the cover but the toughness of McNair shows as he kicks out.
Reid pulls McNair to his feet,into the Thai Plum Clinch, delivering knee strikes to McNair's face and chest. He catches a dzed McNair with a Pele Kick then follows with a Running Face Wash, that McNair evades. McNair sends Reid flying with an Overhead Belly to Belly. Then hits LuLu 101. He goes for the cover but it is not enough to keep Reid down. Reid catches McNair offguard with an Upkip followed by an Uppercut. Reid then closes out the match with the X-Ploder followed by X-Marks the Spot. Reid covers McNiar after X-Marks the Spot. The ref makes the 3 count.
As the ref raises Reid's hand in victory. McNair gets to his feet, Reid leaves the ref's side and heads over to McNair. As he and McNair stare each other down for a second, Xavier Reid extends the respect of a congratulatory handshake, to which McNair reciprocates to sound of cheers from the crowd.
Destiny: Wow, what a thrilling match between FSW Champion Xavier Reed and-
The sight of an unseen individual approaching froze the backstage correspondent mid-sentence. Everyone watching from inside the Dr. Pepper Arena or in the comfort of their homes all wondered who Fairchild was talking to. The crowd was mumbling amongst themselves guessing on the possibilities of a familiar face returning to EWC. Or maybe it was the esteemed General Manager on his way to surprise the FSW faithfuls with a jaw-dropping announcement.
Destiny: Can I help you?
The precise moment the question was asked, a young fellow found his place beside the interviewer.
Even though no one had a single clue on who the new kid on the block was, several fans honored him with a small cheer and set of applause. The young man couldn’t contain his excitement which was shown all over his face. He was smiling from ear to ear, amazed by every single item that was around him. He definitely was a rookie by the way he got all giddy like after noticing the FSW backdrop behind him. Destiny looked over at the cameraman puzzled and bit annoyed. She wasn’t told she would be interviewing a wrestler just out of the womb. Hoping to get to the bottom of things, Destiny cleared her throat quickly getting the young man’s attention.
André: Oh! Sorry about that. First day jitters. But seriously? This place is DOPE!
Some of the younger members of the audience couldn’t help but laugh and applaud the newcomer. The kid appeared right in the mind to Destiny, just a bit out of place. Shrugging her shoulders, Fairchild decided to roll with what was given to her. Lifting her microphone up to the young man, Destiny kicked off the interview with the first and very important question.
Destiny: So who are you?
After taking in his mesmerizing current location, the young man took a deep breath and exhaled comfortably. Fixing his cuffs as he moistened his lips, the new guy stared into the microphone.
André: I know you must have all sorts of question for me, just like the fans. But I first gotta ask you something.
Caught off guard by the young man’s last statement, Destiny’s eyebrows shot up as he brought the microphone back to her mouth.
Destiny: Umm okay. Sure.
The rookie smiled sincerely as the microphone was extended back to him.
André: How does it feel to be employed to a company enriched with so much history?
Destiny stood in silence. She knew her answer but for some reason couldn’t formulate the words correctly. Still smiling, the young man decided to take advantage and keep speaking.
André: EWC, the place where legends from all across the globe and every walk of life have come to solidify their names in the history books. And where future stars of wrestling come to make a name for themselves. And that’s why I, yo boy from da three one three, has come to do. Make a name for himself.
Even though it was a small amount, the rookie was pleased to hear the fans applaud him for his powerful words. Not wanting to get caught soaking the moment, the kid straightened himself and made eye contact with his interviewer.
André: André Jackson is the name. And wrestling was what I was born to do. I could go on and on where I come from, being a first gen wrestler, having started to do this just this year. My uncle and his family being top wrestlers all across the globe. And so on and so forth. But I'm not. And as much as I want to challenge the FSW Champion to a non-title match in my debut it's not my call.
André stopped, allowing everyone to soak in everything he just shared with them. From the way he spoke and carried himself, it was easy to tell he was being completely sincere. Having graduated from The Jesus Freak Camp at the age of twenty, many saw hidden potential within the Detroit native. Potential EWC Management didn't want to pass up on. Even though André lacked the size, strength, and even self-control of a future main eventer he possessed other qualities that made him very valuable.
André: After getting signed and assigned to FSW, I reached out to our esteemed GM and introduced myself. And that's why I'm here now. To introduce myself to the fans, the guys and gals in the back, and the rest of management.
Turning and facing the camera as if he's done this plenty of times before, André smirked to keep himself look cool and confident.
André: What's up? I'm FSW's newest signee, Da Human Torch André Jackson. You'll see and hear more about me real soon.
With that, André thanked Destiny and walked off the screen with everyone wondering something completely new. What's André gonna bring to the table?
These two teams couldn't hold back their disdain for each other for one second. The refs can barely contain these for Future Stars for this match as they started brawling before they could even get to the ring all the way. Up the aisle, into the crowd and back again, Azrael and Bane paired off while Draco and Lexie were trading shots in the aisle...and the match is thrown out as security has to separate the teams.
The camera cuts to Dick Shelby who has a somewhat worried look on his face.
Dick Shelby: The main event will begin very shortly, but there appears to be a situation going on backstage. The FSW superstar James Larson, who is not booked on tonight's card, has shown up and is apparently causing a scene. There are cameras backstage now, so let's see what's going on.
We see James Larson walking stumbling down the backstage hallways of the arena often using the walls for support. Following him is an official and two security guards trying to get him to leave.
James Larson: Every time, it all blends together. Win, loss, loss, win, why does it even matter anymore. Does anything even have meaning in life anymore. Why is anything, why is anyone. I win and I win then I lose, then they do not even book me. Why?
James stumbles into a bathroom from the hallway. He then looks deep into a mirror.
James Larson: Why does anything even happen anyway. Who is anyone? Who even am I?
James then punches mirror and it shatters. As blood drips down his hand he looks into his broken reflection. After a couple seconds a smile creeps across his face.
James Larson: Why does everyone think it matters. 'Who am I?' Who are you?
James laughs lightly to himself as the security guards drag him out of the building.

Shelby:. I don't know, Frankie. Except that it is a good thing for Maggie that Conner and Reid came when they did. And Kristian Bane and Alexis Glass just showed the World how dangerous they are. Is anyone here in FSW safe?
Wright:. I don't know,. Dick. But The Syndicate will be a dangerous threat to anyone in that locker room. Bane and Glass set out to make a statement, and that statement has been made. FSW may never be the same again.
The FSW camera cut to the back as Xavier Reid walks into the Dr. Pepper Arena and Destiny Fairchild is there waiting for him.
Destiny Fairchild: Xavier, if we could get a quick word…
Xavier stops and looks at Destiny, nods and walks towards the camera as he adjusts the FSW Championship over his shoulder.
Destiny Fairchild: First off I wanted to congratulate you on your Stranglemania win and becoming the NEW FSW Champion but it doesn’t seem be a welcomed transition to many here in the FSW.
Xavier smiles at Destiny and sort of laughs
Xavier Reid: I have long given up on wanting universal praise for what I do inside that ring.
Destiny Fairchild: Well some have even gone as far to call into question the validity of your win over Magdalena Lockheart at Stranglemania.
Xavier Reid: You can say names Destiny, it’s public record, Mark McNair said it to a FSW camera but Destiny if I obsessed about every crazy thing that was said by green as grass members of this roster I would spend all my waking days screaming into a camera like a crazy person. You know Magdalena better than most around here but I like to believe I know a thing or two about her and if you think for one second she would just hand over this belt after everything she went through to get it...well maybe the FSW doctors need to check out Mark McNair for some sort of brain trauma I know he’s new to this business but a champion never just willingly hands over a championship and in Magdalena’s case look at what she did to win this, she burned everything down here to call herself FSW Champion and you say what James Tyson did to her last week, he fired her and deep down she had to know that was the end game in all this once her days of being the FSW Champion was over but sure, yeah she was willing to just hand over all her hard work.
Xavier shakes his head at the stupidity of that idea
Xavier Reid: But I get it, people around here don’t like the idea of this belt being around my waist, they like to say I failed at Wrestlefest and I would say ok...well what happened at Stranglemania...you want to point out my failure but ignore my success...I guess you can to make sure I fit into the narrative you have of me, being that guy that what is it...oh yeah, fails to get it done when the lights are brightest. Well clearly you have done zero homework on me and are just shooting shit from your mouth trying to get my attention because asking the champ out for dinner won’t work this time around but lucky for everyone I’m not a hard man to find, I’m here each and every show, just like every other champion before me but people around here like get pissy when their champion shows up on Brawl and Rampage and claim they are not fully invested in the FSW and sorry that’s just not the case. We are on those shows to promote the FSW, to give those bitching a better opportunity and more eyes on them via us because the truth is Victor Price and Michael Saint don’t give a crap about the Mark McNair’s of the world until they can make money off them yet it’s not until someone like Magdalena goes to Brawl or Rampage and they see what she can do against the ‘stars’ of the EWC that they take notice of the FSW and I will continue that tradition that she set...that Otaki set regardless of what others around here think about it.
Xavier looks into the camera
Xavier Reid: You can call me a failure, call me washed up and past my prime, call me anything you want to make yourself feel like you might have a shot at replacing me here in the FSW...but don’t forget to call me the one thing I really am around here...YOUR FSW CHAMPION...because no matter how much you hate it, how much you resent me for it, how much you hate the fact it’s probably going to be the only bit of truth coming out of your mouth when you are talking about me. I don’t plan on dropping this title so if you want it, if you want to replace me here in the FSW then you are going to have to tear this damn thing away from me. You are going to have to come at me with more that gossip and something other than conspiracy theories about how this belt found its way to me because the simple truth is I became a champion because I am a champion, I have been a champion everywhere I have gone and I’ll be a champion long after most flame out and find their next career. So instead of bitching about me take a second, shut up and learn what it takes to climb this mountain and take a championship away from a champion and then...when that time comes...when that person presents themselves I will look them in the eyes and hand them this belt knowing the FSW is in good hands but until that time comes the FSW is in my hands and I’m hell bent on making sure we continue to show everyone in the EWC that the future is tomorrow...it’s not sometime down the road...but that the future is NOW...and we play second to nobody….
And with that Xavier smiles at Destiny and walks away
OPENER
Robbie Rayder Vs Elizabeth Chambers
This match was an exercise in two people looking to set their records straight. Rayder, making his FSW debut taking on Elizabeth Chambers, looking to make good on her second match after suffering defeat last time out. Both took their time feeling each other out, trying to gain the upper hand, which Chambers does get after some good chaining with a enziguri that stops Rayder cold. She starts to work Rayder over in the upper back/neck area, trying to set up for her Screamer submission, but to little avail, as Rayder manages to work himself free and turn up the heat, going aerial and catching Chambers off guard. CHambers manages to corral Rayder and attempt a Warrior Cry, but eats only turnbuckle, giving Rayder time to climb up and hit Chambers with the Aire Rayde V2 to get the win.
PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE:
Nostalgia: Greetings FSW! It has been awhile. Too long if you ask me. I think it is about time to remedy that.

Otaki Vs Kyle Gautier
The match starts off with Kyle Gautier a little tentative facing off against the former FSW Champion Otaki giving her the opening to take charge of the match. She is able to back Kyle into the corner where she unleashes a combination of ballistic punch and finishes it up with a spinning back kick. Kyle is a bit rockes and Otaki goes for an open handed slap but stops just shorts of Kylie’s face and smiles as she gives him a small ‘love’ pat on the cheek before backing away and allowing Kylie out of the corner causes the Frisco, TX to stand and cheer.
The match continues with a bunch of reversals, a drop toe hold by Kyle but as he goes to drop the elbow Otaki rolls out of the way, she takes Kyle down with a head lock but goes to drop a knee but Kylie rolls out of the way, Kylie gets to his feet first and nails a European Uppercut that send Otaki towards the ropes, she rounds and grabs her throat as the fans jump to their feet as she’s about to spit her mist but Kyle, having scouted and vocally worried all week about this, spots it and turns away just as Otaki FAKES the mist, Kyle, with his back turned away from Otaki does see her smiling as she grabs him around the waste and rolls him up into a pin. The referee drops and counts 1, 2...and Kyle just managers to get his shoulder up as the ref is inches away from the mat, he holds up 2 as Kyle looks back at him and then to Otaki as she grins and holds her fingers to show Kyle she was ‘that close’ to scoring the pin.
Kyle hits the ropes but Otaki catches him with a reverse elbow to the face, he staggers back into the corner and Otaki sees an opening she charges in and goes for a Butt Bump which she hits and Kyle falls to a seated position in the corner, Otaki looks and backs up and gives Kyle the Stinkface but Kyle seemed to enjoy it as Otaki pulls him to his feet, Kyle takes a wild swing and misses and Otaki jumps into the air and grabs Kyles by the head and nails the Grand Finale for the 1,2,3!!! She rolls off and gets to her feet and offers Kyle a hand. The fans cheer as he takes her hand and the two shake on a well fought match
The instrumental version of "Phenomenal" by Eminem hits over the speakers.
Shelby: What the heck is this?
Dominic Sanders steps out from the back wearing a grey suit. The crowd gives him an abnormally large pop as he walks down the ramp towards the ring.
Wright: I don't know, but it looks to me as if the Brawl superstar is headed into the ring.
Sanders, now on the ring apron, steps through the ropes and walks over to Deneen McQueen. He grabs the microphone as the music fades out.
Sanders: Hello Frisco, Texas!
The crowd pops at the mention of their city.
Sanders: Normally, I would be in Boston already getting ready for my match tomorrow night on Brawl against... Donkey Punch.
Sanders laughs for a second.
Sanders: Gets me every time. Anyway, my flight on Friday was supposed to be from New Orleans to Boston, but I made a change of plans. I figured that I could check out an FSW show for once. But there's more to it than just checking out a show. Really, I wanted to come here this evening because we are in freakin' TEXAS!
Another pop from the crowd.
Sanders: And it would be absolutely FOOLISH of me if I allowed an EWC event to occur in TEXAS where... Mark McNabb? McNibble? McNair? Whatever his name is... was the ONLY Texan to be on the show! Therefore... here I am! The greatest Texan in the EWC today! Now, I know what you're saying. 'Where were you when we were in El Paso a couple of weeks ago?' Come on folks... El Paso does not count as Texas. I know that. You know that. Maybe we can classify it as... Texico, if you will! But we all know that the greatest part of Texas is right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex!
A large pop from the crowd, scattered with a few boos from people outside of the area, showers the ring.
Sanders: Now... before I head on out to Boston, I wanted to catch a match between this fake Texan, Mark McDonald, and your Future Stars of Wrestling Champion Xavier Reid.
The mention of Xavier Reid causes a huge cheer from the crowd.
Sanders: Ah, yes. You guys love your FSW Champion. And I want to get a close-up shot of what this FSW business is all about! That's why I am going to sit right over there by the announce table and soak in some FSW wrestling for the rest of the evening! Don't mess with Texas, baby!
The crowd pops at the cheap 'proud-Texan' line as Sanders hands the microphone back to McQueen and he steps out of the ring. Sanders walks over to a chair next to the time-keeper's table and plops down, crossing his right ankle over his left knee as he kicks back and relaxes.
MATCH 3
Xavier Reid Vs Mark McNair
Mark McNair gets the early advantage on the FSW Champion, Xavier Reid, when he caught the leg of Reid as Reid went for strike to the side of McNair. McNair followed that with a Double Arm Underhook DDT. McNair keeps up the pressure with an Alabama Slam and a Running Senton. He goes for the cover but the FSW Champion kicks out. He waits for Reid to get back to his feet. He goes for the Mark 1 Missle but Reid is ready for it, escapes the contact, jumps on then off the ropes as McNair gets to his feet, and Reid connects with a Springboard Superman Punch. Reid goes for the cover but the toughness of McNair shows as he kicks out.
Reid pulls McNair to his feet,into the Thai Plum Clinch, delivering knee strikes to McNair's face and chest. He catches a dzed McNair with a Pele Kick then follows with a Running Face Wash, that McNair evades. McNair sends Reid flying with an Overhead Belly to Belly. Then hits LuLu 101. He goes for the cover but it is not enough to keep Reid down. Reid catches McNair offguard with an Upkip followed by an Uppercut. Reid then closes out the match with the X-Ploder followed by X-Marks the Spot. Reid covers McNiar after X-Marks the Spot. The ref makes the 3 count.
As the ref raises Reid's hand in victory. McNair gets to his feet, Reid leaves the ref's side and heads over to McNair. As he and McNair stare each other down for a second, Xavier Reid extends the respect of a congratulatory handshake, to which McNair reciprocates to sound of cheers from the crowd.
Destiny: Wow, what a thrilling match between FSW Champion Xavier Reed and-
The sight of an unseen individual approaching froze the backstage correspondent mid-sentence. Everyone watching from inside the Dr. Pepper Arena or in the comfort of their homes all wondered who Fairchild was talking to. The crowd was mumbling amongst themselves guessing on the possibilities of a familiar face returning to EWC. Or maybe it was the esteemed General Manager on his way to surprise the FSW faithfuls with a jaw-dropping announcement.
Destiny: Can I help you?
The precise moment the question was asked, a young fellow found his place beside the interviewer.
Even though no one had a single clue on who the new kid on the block was, several fans honored him with a small cheer and set of applause. The young man couldn’t contain his excitement which was shown all over his face. He was smiling from ear to ear, amazed by every single item that was around him. He definitely was a rookie by the way he got all giddy like after noticing the FSW backdrop behind him. Destiny looked over at the cameraman puzzled and bit annoyed. She wasn’t told she would be interviewing a wrestler just out of the womb. Hoping to get to the bottom of things, Destiny cleared her throat quickly getting the young man’s attention.
André: Oh! Sorry about that. First day jitters. But seriously? This place is DOPE!
Some of the younger members of the audience couldn’t help but laugh and applaud the newcomer. The kid appeared right in the mind to Destiny, just a bit out of place. Shrugging her shoulders, Fairchild decided to roll with what was given to her. Lifting her microphone up to the young man, Destiny kicked off the interview with the first and very important question.
Destiny: So who are you?
After taking in his mesmerizing current location, the young man took a deep breath and exhaled comfortably. Fixing his cuffs as he moistened his lips, the new guy stared into the microphone.
André: I know you must have all sorts of question for me, just like the fans. But I first gotta ask you something.
Caught off guard by the young man’s last statement, Destiny’s eyebrows shot up as he brought the microphone back to her mouth.
Destiny: Umm okay. Sure.
The rookie smiled sincerely as the microphone was extended back to him.
André: How does it feel to be employed to a company enriched with so much history?
Destiny stood in silence. She knew her answer but for some reason couldn’t formulate the words correctly. Still smiling, the young man decided to take advantage and keep speaking.
André: EWC, the place where legends from all across the globe and every walk of life have come to solidify their names in the history books. And where future stars of wrestling come to make a name for themselves. And that’s why I, yo boy from da three one three, has come to do. Make a name for himself.
Even though it was a small amount, the rookie was pleased to hear the fans applaud him for his powerful words. Not wanting to get caught soaking the moment, the kid straightened himself and made eye contact with his interviewer.
André: André Jackson is the name. And wrestling was what I was born to do. I could go on and on where I come from, being a first gen wrestler, having started to do this just this year. My uncle and his family being top wrestlers all across the globe. And so on and so forth. But I'm not. And as much as I want to challenge the FSW Champion to a non-title match in my debut it's not my call.
André stopped, allowing everyone to soak in everything he just shared with them. From the way he spoke and carried himself, it was easy to tell he was being completely sincere. Having graduated from The Jesus Freak Camp at the age of twenty, many saw hidden potential within the Detroit native. Potential EWC Management didn't want to pass up on. Even though André lacked the size, strength, and even self-control of a future main eventer he possessed other qualities that made him very valuable.
André: After getting signed and assigned to FSW, I reached out to our esteemed GM and introduced myself. And that's why I'm here now. To introduce myself to the fans, the guys and gals in the back, and the rest of management.
Turning and facing the camera as if he's done this plenty of times before, André smirked to keep himself look cool and confident.
André: What's up? I'm FSW's newest signee, Da Human Torch André Jackson. You'll see and hear more about me real soon.
With that, André thanked Destiny and walked off the screen with everyone wondering something completely new. What's André gonna bring to the table?
MATCH 4
The Future VS Collateral Damage
These two teams couldn't hold back their disdain for each other for one second. The refs can barely contain these for Future Stars for this match as they started brawling before they could even get to the ring all the way. Up the aisle, into the crowd and back again, Azrael and Bane paired off while Draco and Lexie were trading shots in the aisle...and the match is thrown out as security has to separate the teams.
The camera cuts to Dick Shelby who has a somewhat worried look on his face.
We see James Larson walking stumbling down the backstage hallways of the arena often using the walls for support. Following him is an official and two security guards trying to get him to leave.
James Larson: Every time, it all blends together. Win, loss, loss, win, why does it even matter anymore. Does anything even have meaning in life anymore. Why is anything, why is anyone. I win and I win then I lose, then they do not even book me. Why?
James stumbles into a bathroom from the hallway. He then looks deep into a mirror.
James Larson: Why does anything even happen anyway. Who is anyone? Who even am I?
James then punches mirror and it shatters. As blood drips down his hand he looks into his broken reflection. After a couple seconds a smile creeps across his face.
James Larson: Why does everyone think it matters. 'Who am I?' Who are you?
James laughs lightly to himself as the security guards drag him out of the building.
Criss Cassidy Vs Sebastian Conner
Franklin Wright: What an exciting show filled with action thus far, Dick. And now we’ve come to our main event!
Dick Shelby:That’s right, Frankie. “The Second Coming” and “The Gentleman’s Hero” are set to battle it out, and I for one am completely excited.
Franklin Wright: You’re not the only one, Dick. Everything’s bigger in Texas, and this sold-out crowd here in Frisco are already on the edge of their seats… and this match hasn’t even started yet!
Dick Shelby: Well then let’s take it down to Deneen McQueen at ringside.
"Second Coming" by Juelz Santana begins to play as smoke shoots out in front of the entrance. Criss Cassidy walks out from behind the curtains and stands on the ramp in a lavish robe and matching long tights.
Deneen McQueen: Making his way to the ring at this time. He stands at 6’3” and weighs in at 205 pounds. From Chicago, Illinois… he is the Second Coming… CRISS CASSIDY!!!
He holds his arms out and makes his way down to the ring.
Deneen McQueen: And his opponent.
“Who Died” by T-Pain to play as sparks shoot out in front of the entrance. Sebastian Conner walks out from behind the curtains and stands on the ramp.
Deneen McQueen: Making his way to the ring at this time. Standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 183 pounds. Now residing from Vail, Colorado… he is the Gentleman’s Hero… SEBASTIAN CONNER!!!
Conner makes his way to the ring and he meets Cassidy and Senior Referee Jacob Waters in the center of the ring. The two men have a staredown before Waters sends them to their respective corners.
Dick Shelby: Oh you can tell that this is going to be intense.
Franklin Wright: There was a lot of talking between these two men and about where they stand in the FSW Championship scene. Make no mistake about it, Dick - these guys have their eyes on the prize.
Dick Shelby: The future of FSW is in the balance, but Criss Cassidy says that his focus is on now… as in the here and now. Will it be enough to propel the Second Coming into victory here tonight?
Franklin Wright: I dunno. Conner has been on quite the roll...
DING DING DING!!!
The opening bell rings and the two men waste no time meeting in the center of the ring to trade punches. Conner tries to whip Cassidy but the ex-basketball star uses his leverage to reverse the irish whip and land a hard shoulder block on the smaller Conner. Cassidy takes a moment to pound his chest. Conner rolls back up to his feet and comes in hard with a chop across the chest of Cassidy. The crowd reacts as Conner backs Cassidy into the corner with a series of chops. Cassidy turns the tide with a hard knee lift, and sends Conner into the corner instead. Cassidy hits forearm shot followed by a series of stomps that push Conner down into a seated position. He doesn’t stop stomping until Waters counts nearly to five. The Second Coming is really fired up and he’s letting the folks in Frisco know about it.
Dick Shelby: Early on in this match and it’s clear to see that Criss Cassidy’s recent training regimen is really paying off.
Franklin Wright: And here I thought he was just using his size advantage.
Dick Shelby: Hey, anything that works, right?
Franklin Wright: Where there is no denying that Criss Cassidy is literally giving the boots to Sebastian Conner…
Cassidy goes to grab Conner out of the corner and he receives a kick to the gut. Conner pops up out of the corner and lands a series of punches. Waters warns him about the closed fists but Conner is too busy working over his opponent. With Cassidy backed against the ropes he irish whips him and lowers his head for a spinebuster but is countered by a kick to his face. The crowd reacts. Criss Cassidy grabs the stunned Conner and hooks him for a Fisherman’s suplex and slams him hard down on his back. Foregoing the cover, Cassidy leaps into the air and drives the point of his knee down on Conner’s forehead. He then pulls Conner down into a cover…

Conner kicks out right after two.
Dick Shelby: I think this may be a second coming of the Second Coming… I have never seen Criss Cassidy this focused before.
Franklin Wright: Well he has brought the right game plan with him if he wants to beat Sebastian Conner here tonight. You have got to stay relentless on a man like Conner… he’s not out of this by any means yet.
Conner sits back up and Cassidy applies a sleeper hold. Referee Waters asks Conner if he gives up but the Gentlemen’s Hero doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit. Conner fights his way back up to a vertical base and lands elbows to the midsection to break the hold. Conner runs and bounces off of the far ropes. Cassidy swings at him with a clothesline but Conner ducks it and continues his momentum. Cassidy turns around and is met with a vicious spear by Conner! The crowd jumps to their feet as it appears that Conner is pinning Cassidy but Conner is too busy landing a series of ground and pound punches on the Second Coming’s jaw. Conner stands back up and bounces off of the ropes again and this time takes a kneeling Cassidy down with a running knee strike. Conner goes for the cover-

Criss Cassidy kicks out at two and a half.
Franklin Wright: I did say that you couldn’t count Sebastian Conner down just yet. I am on record for saying that, right?
Dick Shelby: I think Waters needs to get in there and check those closed fists that Conner has been throwing!
Franklin Wright: Oh come on, Dick! This is the Extreme Wrestling Corporation!
Dick Shelby: So? We still have rules, don’t we? That’s not very gentleman like, Mister Conner!
Franklin Wright: Oh brother…
Conner pulls a stunned Cassidy back to his feet and goes for a ddt. Cassidy spins his way out of it. Cassidy throws a spinning heel kick but Conner ducks it and bounces off of the ropes once again. But before Conner can charge forward, Cassidy charges in and hits him with a european uppercut so hard that it sends Conner over the top rope and spilling out onto the floor below. The Ref leans over the ropes to check on Conner but Cassidy pushes Waters out of the way so that he can follow on down to ringside. On the floor, Conner is showing some pain as he works his way back up but Cassidy is right there to meet him with a series of punches and kicks. Cassidy grabs Conner and irish whips him hard into the steps. The Ref is up to a four count but Cassidy rolls back into the ring to break the count. He slides back out to grab Conner. He tries to slam Sebastian’s face into the steps but The Gentleman’s hero blocks the shot and responds by slamming Cassidy’s face into the steps instead. Criss Cassidy bounces off and Conner follows up with an uppercut of his own. Cassidy rolls himself back into the ring and Conner follows.
Franklin Wright: I’m not surprised that both of these men are pulling out all of the stops for this one. Frisco, Texas is getting quite the treat!
Dick Shelby: As are we and all of the fans watching at home on the EWCTV Network! You’re looking at the future of the industry here in Criss Cassidy… and that other guy.
Franklin Wright: Seriously Dick? Did you just say ‘that other guy’?
Dick Shelby: …
Franklin Wright: You’re a real handful.
Cassidy swings at Conner but the Gentleman’s Hero ducks and lands that big spinebuster that he was looking for earlier. He goes for the cover-

Criss Cassidy just rolls his shoulder up before the count of three.
Conner checks with Waters who tells him that it was only two. Fired up now, Conner pulls Cassidy back up and lands a series of german suplexes wearing down the Second Coming even farther. Criss Cassidy appears to be hurting now and Conner can sense it. He pulls Cassidy back up to his feet and toe kicks him before setting him up in vertical suplex position. The crowd is on their feet as Conner pulls Cassidy up into the air looking for the “Honorable Deeds”, but Cassidy saves himself when he somehow falls through and lands on his feet behind Conner. He shoves Conner into the corner chest first and follows up with a Heaven’s Gate stinger splash across his back! Conner falls onto the mat and Cassidy makes the cover-

Franklin Wright: Sebastian Conner digs down deep and remains in this matchup!
Criss Cassidy waits for Conner to get back to his feet and snaps off a spinning heel kick that nearly knocks his head clean off. The crowd jumps to their feet as Criss moves to the nearby ropes and starts to climb the turnbuckles. Criss Cassidy looks like he’s getting ready to perform the Christening - a shooting star press - when suddenly Sebastian Conner pops up and drops himself across the top rope, causing Cassidy to fall and crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Conner then grabs Cassidy by the head and drills him in the center of the ring with a top-rope hanging ddt. Foregoing the pin attempt, Conner picks Cassidy back up after that devastating sequence. He kicks Cassidy and pulls him into the suplex position. He yanks him up into the air with a grunt and drills him with the Honorable Deeds. Conner lands across Cassidy’s chest and he hooks the leg…
