The opening pyros hit and here we go.

"Viva Reid-lando"
Franklin Wright: Welcome to Future Stars of Wrestling! Tonight we wrap up our own version of the Texas triangle trip here just outside of Houston in Cypress! I'm Franklin Wright, and beside me as always, the ever dapper Dick Shelby.
Dick Shelby: Well Frankie, tonight we have another special guest coming to challenge our champion, as Nostalgia comes from Brawl to face the FSW Champion Xavier Reid, and the hottest wrestler in EWC, Sebastian Conner in a big triple threat!
Wright: We also have the renewal of the Otaki/Glass rivalry, two debuts and a long awaited return, and can Kyle Gautier keep this thing going? Let's find out!
Shelby: BUt first, let's see a debuting Smokey Jones take on the returning Vegas Lawson. Deneen, take it away!
The Cypress, Texas fans are pumped up inside the Berry Center for the debuting Smokey Jones and the returning Vegas Lawson but once the bell rings it becomes clear that Vegas Larson is thrown off by the more unorthodox wrestling style of on Smokey Jones. With a mix of power and speed Jones was able to keep Vegas Lawson guessing early on as he unleashed a nasty lariat that floored Vegas. Smiling ear to ear Smokey Jones hits the ropes and nails a running senton that brings the FSW fans to there feet. Larson at one point is able to hit a pele kick to gain a small amount of separation from Smokey Jones. He hits the ropes but Smokey Jones also shows his speed and athleticism as he meets him as he bounces off the ropes with running high knee to the face that he calls Smokey Dreams. Larson drops to his knees as Smokey backs away, presses his thumb and index finger together and raises them to his lips to mimic smoking a joint and then flicks it in the direction of Larson and once again charges in with Smokey Dreams, Larson falls to the mat but Smokey quickly picks the limp Vegas Larson up around the neck, he once again mimic smoking the J and spins Larson into Up in Smoke for the 1,2,3 and a debut win.
James Larson and Mark McNair, two of the young guns of FSW looking to make a statement against each other, square up and takes their shots, first with fists, then by chaining and reversing each other. The crowd oohs at their combined fury as the keep taking the fight to each other. Lefts and rights, kicks, moves nad counter moves...these two men are putting on an instant classic. Each man was able to reverse out of each other's signature setups, but in the end, after a 20 plus minute test of wills, a Mark 4 ends it all....and for Mark McNair, a 1, 2, 3...and a classic FSW performance for the both of them.
The camera cuts to the back and inside the locker room of FSW Champion Xavier Reid where new associate Nikki Dupree is with Xavier’s cousin Tlatoani Volando as Xavier gets ready for tonight’s X-Division showdown.
Tlatoani Volando: Big night tonight X, big match with a couple big names...
Nikki Dupree: Tlatoani, Xavier knows what tonight mean not only for him but also to The Trinity, the X-Division Championship is a title they want back in their stable…
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah, well the belts not on the line but Sebastian Conner will be in that ring and we all know what happened the last time the two of them were in the ring, Xavier can’t afford losing another match to that guy and then when you toss in Nostalgia you have another guy that would like nothing more than knocking Xavier down a peg or two, remember the right hand that floored you all those months ago, I mean sure you were sort of a dick to that kid and you probably had it coming but the last time you two were near each other you were knocked on your ass…
Nikki Dupree: Are you trying to help here Tlatoani?
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah I am, I’m reminding Xavier what’s at stack and trying to pump him up and get him angry so maybe this Doomsday guy comes exploding out to smash…
Xavier Reid laughs as Nikki looks at Tlatoani as if she doesn’t know if he’s serious or trying to make a joke…
Xavier Reid: Tlatoani saw the Avengers: Infinity Wars last night…
Nikki Dupree: This isn’t a superhero movie Tlatoani, Doomsday isn’t the Hulk that will some out when Xavier gets angry, you shouldn’t be listening while I’m teaching Xavier…
Tlatoani Volando: Relax, truth be told I didn’t understand half of that you were rambling on about, this entire thing would be a lot easier if you could use a few keywords to unlock it all like they did with the Winter Soldier in Civil War, now that would be dope…
Nikki is about to respond when Xavier speaks up…
Xavier Reid: It’s best not to continue down this road Nikki, it’s only going to stress you out, Tlatoani can be trusted, I trust him to have my back at all times and anything he hears will stay with him…
Tlatoani Volando: Exactly, I mean I never told anyone that Kanye was losing is damn mind or how he was nailing Kim did I?
Xavier smiles
Xavier Reid: I don’t need pumped up cousin, I know what tonight means to me, there is always something special in the air when someone from Brawl or Rampage comes to the FSW to compete, it’s electric and a chance to once again show the EWC what the FSW is about and when you add in that Nostalgia is the X-Division Championship and the match is under X-Division rules well a win here tonight would make the suits in the EWC sit up and take notice and maybe drop their ridiculous clause saying that only those on the big brands can contend for their major titles but also we have a tradition here in the FSW of sending those from Brawl and Rampage home licking their wounds in defeat when they come to wrestle here.
Tlatoani Volando: Do not make this all about trying to get a head up on Nostalgia though, Sebastian Conner is looking to prove that Tyson got it wrong by giving you that match at Stranglemania…
Xavier Reid: Yes I know and I know what another loss would mean to me. Sebastian Conner will one day be the face of the FSW, he will hold that championship belt…
The camera cuts to the FSW Championship sitting on the bench…
Xavier Reid: There is no denying his talent but I’m not about to just hand over what I’ve worked so hard for, his time will come but it’s not now. Regardless of what happens here tonight he will be across the ring from me at Hardcore Revolution, I know this even if James Tyson hasn’t announced it or made it official, so I know tonight it just the next step as we head to that match and I want to add some doubt inside his head that maybe...just maybe this isn’t his time and the only way to do that is to make sure his hand isn’t raised at the end of the night...
Nikki Dupree: Add in Dominic Sanders has just arrived to the Berry Center…
Tlatoani Volando: Here to scout you X and make damn sure he’s ready to backup all that Twitter heat I’m sure…
Xavier Reid: Dominic Sanders will be dealt with tomorrow night on Brawl, tonight is about bringing the X-Division to the FSW and showing the EWC that the best X-Division star resides here in the FSW…
Nikki Dupree: Leave it all inside that ring tonight, you saw you have everything to lose then fight as if EVERYTHING is on the line…
Tlatoani Volando: Wow, whatever happened to ‘You can do it’...not much of a cheerleader this one…
Tlatoani shakes his head as Nikki watches him walk away…
Xavier Reid: Don’t worry about it, I will fight as if my life depends on it out there…
He pats Nikki on the shoulder as he walks over and opens his locker and begins to wrap his wrists…
The debuting Andre Jackson talked a nice game, but maybe this was a bit much for his debut. Criss Cassidy was more focused and angrier than usual, and he took out his recent frustrations on young Andre, teaching him the ways of FSW. Andre learned some and took Cassidy by surprise with some nice moves, but in the end, Cassidy and the Christening were too much for the young Jackson, and Cassidy gets the pin and win.
Cassidy comes thru the stage area after his win, still somewhat fuming, but then runs into James Tyson, and Cassidy low-key shoves the FSW GM out of his way. James calls out to Cassidy, who stops in his tracks, just now realizing who he just pushed aside.
JT: Since you have so much fire after your match...i'm gonna give you a gift....let you get off some of that frustration. You're now in the main event tonight. Take some of that self made frustration out where it can do you some good...in the ring!
Cassidy looks back at James, nods in approval, and goes to get ready.
The ever popular Kyle Gautier looks to keep his momentum going against the steady Matt Angel, looking to step back into the fray with a win of his own. Both men dazzle with nifty maneuvers and some hard hitting shots, taking the best each other can give, but when Matt got the advantage, he took it to Kyle, wanting to get his name back in the mix. Matt had Kyle where he wanted him, but a step too slow going for Heaven Sent led to a Falling Upward for Kyle, as he rolls Matt up and gets the 1, 2, 3!
The crowd is pumped up as two of the FSW veterans meet inside the ring and once the bell rings the two met in the center of the ring and Lexie rocks Otaki with a slap right across the face and she follows it up with a kick to the stomach and she hits the ropes and rocks Otaki’s head back with a knee lift. Lexie stays on the attack with a perfect german suplex and transitions it right into a ankle lock, she wrenched on the ankle and the fans are a bit stunned as it looks like Otaki might have to tap but she manages to make her way to the ropes for a break but Lexie takes the count all the way to 4 ½ before she breaks the hold.
Lexie continues to target the ankle with stomps and tries to once again apply the ankle lock but Otaki reaches up and hooks Lexie around the neck and rolls her up into a small package that draws a 2 count, Lexie gets to her feet and takes a swing up Otaki ducks the punch and connects with an open hand slap of her own and then drops Lexie with a spinning heel kick. Otaki hits the ropes and drops a jumping knee drop right onto the face of Lexie Glass. Otaki stands back up and motions for Lexie to get to her feet, Lexie slowly does and Otaki goes for the Blood Mist but Lexie has it scouted and ducks under the mist, when the last bit comes up she springs up and nails the Shattered Glass, she covers as the fans come to their feet but Otaki is able to kick out at 2 and ½ to the shock of Lexie.
The two manage to get to their feet as the match draws to a close. Otaki backs Lexie up with a series of European uppercuts and once again goes for the Blood Mist and once again Lexie manages to duck out of the way and the referee takes the full brunt of the mist, Otaki seems shocked for a moment giving Lexie the opening she needs to reach out and dig her fingernails into the eyes of Otaki and rack away at them, blinded Lexie jumps up, grabs the head of Otaki and nails the Glass Cutter, she grabs the ref and tries her best to wipe way the mist as she pins Otaki, the ref, only being able to see out of the one eye manages to make the 1, 2, 3 and signals for the bell to the booing FSW crowd.
Bane and Lazarus went at each other hard and heavy, taking each other's best shots, going back and forth, but before this match could get out of first gear, they start to brawl over the arena again, up and down, the hate for each other showing in each punch. The ref in his wisdom lets them go a bit, and they eventually make their way back to the ring. Azarel makes his presence felt with a big cheap shot to Bane, but out came Lexie Glass, wielding a chair, whacking Azrael and getting him out of the match. Bane took advantage of the save, catching a slightly distracted Draco with a huge discus forearm, stunning him long enough to hit him with a Bane Effect, getting a win for the Future in this feud.
The camera pans over to Destiny Fairchild standing next to the barricade at ringside.
Fairchild: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time is Monday Night Brawl's... Dominic Sanders.
The camera shifts focus to Dominic Sanders, who is standing next to his front row ringside seat. The crowd gives Sanders a good pop as he smiles into the camera.
Fairchild: Mr. Sanders. We can all assume why you are here tonight. This is the second time in a row you've made an appearance on Future Stars of Wrestling. And now you're here, undoubtedly, to scout Xavier Reid, given that you and he will square off tomorrow night on Monday Night Brawl in Minneapolis.
Sanders: Well, Destiny... First of all you forgot to address me as "Texas' own, Dominic Sanders."
A decent pop from the Cypress, Texas crowd, although many remember his remarks from two weeks ago when he said the Dallas/Fort Worth area was the only good part of Texas.
Sanders: Second... I am here because I was invited. Yeah. Your very own FSW Champion, Xavier Reid, invited me to be here. If you paid more attention to Twitter, then you'd know that.
Fairchild: I must have missed what you're talking about. I don't follow you on Twitter Dom...
Sanders: You don't follow me on Twitter?! What's wrong with you?!
Fairchild: I'm sorry, I'm not...
Sanders: It's fine. I will gladly fill you in.
Sanders pulls out his cell phone and opens the Twitter app. He scrolls a little, looking for a specific tweet thread. Finally, he finds it.
Sanders: Tweet by me: "I guess it takes showing up on FSW to get the FSW Champ to follow you back!" Xavier Reid responded by saying: "You are 100% correct, now if you want likes you are going to have to have a match in the FSW, its the trade off" This made me chuckle a little bit, I won't lie. I don't remember if it was the content of the tweet or the lack of proper grammar. However, I chuckled. So then I responded with: "I don't think you want that, X" which leads me to the reason I am here by this informal invitation from your champion when he responded with: "As the FSW Champion I welcome ALL to the FSW." Yes. He welcomes ALL to the FSW. Therefore, by his invite... Dominic Sanders is here.
Fairchild: Well, Mr. Sanders, I suppose you can interpret it that way...
Sanders: Can and DID, Destiny. Now, as far as a match in the FSW goes? Well, we will see. I wouldn't want to embarrass the FSW Champion in my first, and possibly only, match on Future Stars of Wrestling. But it will be up to Mr. Tyson whether or not he wants to put me in his ring. And why wouldn't he? I'm one of the fastest rising stars in this company.
Fairchild: On the Brawl brand.
Sanders looks at Fairchild with a peeved look on his face. He takes a deep breath for a second.
Sanders: Believe what your little mind wants you to believe. But, as for tonight, Destiny, I am ready to sit here at ringside and watch your FSW Champion take on Sebastian Conner, who can't seem to keep his panties untwisted on Twitter, and my old acquaintance Nostalgia. And, maybe, I will decide whether or not I want to waste my time on this brand any longer.
Fairchild: And what about your match tomorrow night on Brawl with Xavier Reid? Does that not have any weight to the reason you're here tonight?
Sanders: Destiny... I was going to be here regardless of if Xavier was going to sack up and step onto Brawl tomorrow night. I was going to be here because it would help raise FSW's ratings. It was just a cherry on top that Danny Mac booked me against Xavier Reid for tomorrow night. The fact that it's not the Main Event is beyond me. Now, if you excuse me, I think there's a match that is about to begin.
Sanders sits back down in his chair as the scene fades away from Fairchild and into the ring for the Main Event.
The camera follows Destiny Fairchild up the ramp as she ducks back behind the curtain and runs right into Xavier Reid as he’s finishing up stretching as he’s about to head to the ring, she looks at him and then to the TV monitor in front of him
Destiny Fairchild: Xavier, I know you are about to walk out to the ring…
Xavier Reid: But you want to know if I heard what Dominic Sanders had to say?
Destiny Fairchild: Well, yes I did.
Xavier looks at her and rolls his shoulders
Xavier Reid: Yeah I heard him and it’s easy to be smug when he’s sitting on the other side of the rail but tomorrow night he will have to back up those words inside the U.S. Bank Stadium when he faces me one on one at Brawl #508. See Destiny I welcome everyone to FSW and why not, it’s the place to be, that’s why so many of the EWC elite come here and take a match. Ace King, King Flip, Ruthann, even tonight, our X-Division Champion Nostalgia graces our FSW ring yet Dominic Sanders comes here and sits in the crowd...as a spectator. Too afraid to mix it up with the real future of the EWC and why...because he knows he wouldn’t stand a chance. He hides behind James Tyson, boy all you have to do is pick up the phone or since you like Twitter so much tweet at the bossman, @fswboss, and say hey I want a match, it’s that easy but no...he just talks a good game and I get it, it doesn’t look good for a midcard talent like Dominic Sanders to come here and lose a match to a ‘developmental’ star right, it might cause Victor Price to ask why he has Dominic on his roster so he sits here tonight out with our fans in order to scout me for our match at Brawl and I’m glad he’s doing so. I don’t want him to have any excuses when I beat him in his own...territory, in front of his fans and his roster.
Destiny Fairchild: And do you worry he might jump the rail tonight and try to send you a message during your X-Division match?
Xavier Reid: Destiny if he were to do that, if he were to become part of that match then he wouldn’t make it to tomorrow night. If that thought is in his head, if that’s why he’s really here tonight then he better take me out for more than just that match, he better put me on the shelf. These fans here tonight came here to see three stars go at it in a X-Division classic, not have that classic ruined by a clown who really believes he is the FUTURE of the EWC...now I’m heading to the ring…
Destiny Fairchild: Good luck
DING DING DING
As the bell rings, Reid and Cassidy stare one another down from their respective corners. They begin to move towards one another methodically, step by measured step. Suddenly, Nostalgia leaps out of the corner and goes for a running clothesline on Cassidy. Barely breaking stride, Cassidy grabs him by the throat and hurls him bodily into the corner of the ring, colliding head-first with the turnbuckle. Nos sinks to the mat, clutching his head.
Cassidy turns back to Reid. The two of them pause a moment, considering one another, before locking up in a grapple, which Cassidy breaks with a boot to the stomach. As Reid staggers back Cassidy follows up, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him into the mat with a huge chokeslam. Cassidy moves to attack Reid, but Conner charges into him, smacking him into the turnbuckle and unloading on him with a furious series of fists, to the face, the stomach, the chest.
Wright: “Conner absolutely on fire here tonight!”
Shelby: “He's just trying to impress Tyson to get a title shot.”
Wright: “And? THat's what he should do!”
Conner pulls Cassidy out of the corner and drives him into the mat with a DDT. As he goes for the cover, Reid grabs him by the back of the head and drags him to his feet, nailing him with a vicious snap suplex, sending him crashing into the canvas. Reid grabs Conner's legs and ties him up in a sharpshooter, dragging him into the centre of the ring. The referee asks Chris if he gives up but he refuses, shaking his head defiantly and trying to make it to the ropes.
Wright: “That sharpshooter's locked in tight, we could see a submission right here!”
Shelby: “I wouldn't be surprised to see Conner give up here.”
Conner wrenches his body around, his face contorting as the sharpshooter sends bolts of pain through his body, but he refuses to give up, dragging himself across the ring inch by inch. The referee asks him if he submits, but Conner refuses to give in.
Wright: “Amazing show of resiliency here by Conner, refusing to tap out in spite of the agony he must be feeling right now.”
Shelby: “Amazingly idiotic, I think you mean."
Conner continues across the ring and somehow makes it to the ropes, grabbing onto them for dear life. Reid keeps the hold locked in for a few seconds before breaking it, standing up as Conner lays before him, recuperating, clutching his knees. Reid turns, and is levelled with a brutal lariat from the refreshed Cassidy. He drags him back to his feet, kicks him in the stomach before raising him vertically, drilling Reid into the mat with a vicious piledriver. He stomps him, kicking him in the stomach, his enormous boots smacking into Reid. Cassidy stops and takes a step back, measuring Reid up. He moves forward and slams down onto him with one enormous elbow, covering her for the pin.
Referee: 1.…....2.……KICKOUT!
Wright: “It'll take more than that to put Reid out for the night.”
Reid rises to his feet and he and Cassidy lock up. Reid kicks him in the stomach and Cassidy reels back, and Reid follows up with a vicious series of punches and kicks, smacking him in the chest, the stomach, the thigh, the shin, the face. Reid kicks him in the gut and grabs his head, leaping to the top rope and bouncing off it before planting him into the canvas with a tornado DDT. Reid drags Cassidy to his feet and grabs his arm, hurling him into the corner with a swift Irish whip. As he crashes into the turnbuckle Cassidy crushes Nostalgia, resting in the corner, seemingly disoriented from the blow to the head earlier in the match. Reid takes a running start and leaps into the air onto both of them but Cassidy manages to dodge and Reid crushes Nostalgia once more, slamming him into the corner. As Reid lands and turns around, he is met by a big boot from Cassidy, smacking him in the face and sending Reid sprawling into the ropes. Cassidy grabs him and pulls Reid forward, hitting him with a series of forearms, pounding into him. As Reid reels from the assault Cassidy grabs Reid and puts him over his shoulder, taking a small run-up before slamming him into the mat with a devastating powerslam. Cassidy stands and drags Reid to his feet. Reid is unsteady but defiant, daring Cassidy to attack him. Cassidy punches Reid in the face, once, twice, before extending one giant hand and grabbing him around the throat. Cassidy pulls him into the air and slams him down, hurling Reid's body into the canvas with a brutal chokeslam.
Wright: “That chokeslam was just devastating!”
Shelby: “Cassidy making a big statement tonight, showing he's the equal of the FSW Champion!”
Cassidy stomps Reid repeatedly before grabbing and dragging him to his feet. Cassidy pushes Reid into the ropes and leaves him there as he bounces off the other side, charging at him for a vicious clothesline. As he is about to make impact, Reid dodges, grabbing the top rope and pulling it down. Cassidy is unable to stop his momentum in time and collides with the ropes, tumbling over the top to the outside. Reid drags himself to his feet and makes his way over to Nostalgia, incapacitated in the corner, seemingly the worse for wear. Reid grabs him and drags him out of the corner, holding him upright on unsteady feet. Reid gestures to the crowd and nails Nos with X-Ecution, planting him into the canvas. Reid goes for the cover. Just behind him, Conner attempts to get to his feet and make his way over to stop the pin, but his knees give out on him and he falls to the mat.
Referee: 1.…….2.…….3!
Deneen: “And the winner of this huge Fatal Fourway Match….Xavier Reid!!!”
The referee calls for the bell as “Cochise” begins to play once again. Reid rolls off Nostalgia and lays on his back a moment, staring at the ceiling, attempting to get his breath back. Eventually he manages to crawl to the ropes and pulls himself up, breathing heavily. The referee raises Reid's hand in the air and Reid holds his title up to the audience before rolling out of the ring, making his way up the entrance ramp, leaving an angry Cassidy and a bewildered Conner in his wake as FSW 59 comes to a close.

Tlatoani Volando: Yeah I am, I’m reminding Xavier what’s at stack and trying to pump him up and get him angry so maybe this Doomsday guy comes exploding out to smash…
Xavier Reid laughs as Nikki looks at Tlatoani as if she doesn’t know if he’s serious or trying to make a joke…
Xavier Reid: Tlatoani saw the Avengers: Infinity Wars last night…
Nikki Dupree: This isn’t a superhero movie Tlatoani, Doomsday isn’t the Hulk that will some out when Xavier gets angry, you shouldn’t be listening while I’m teaching Xavier…
Tlatoani Volando: Relax, truth be told I didn’t understand half of that you were rambling on about, this entire thing would be a lot easier if you could use a few keywords to unlock it all like they did with the Winter Soldier in Civil War, now that would be dope…
Nikki is about to respond when Xavier speaks up…
Xavier Reid: It’s best not to continue down this road Nikki, it’s only going to stress you out, Tlatoani can be trusted, I trust him to have my back at all times and anything he hears will stay with him…
Tlatoani Volando: Exactly, I mean I never told anyone that Kanye was losing is damn mind or how he was nailing Kim did I?
Xavier smiles
Xavier Reid: I don’t need pumped up cousin, I know what tonight means to me, there is always something special in the air when someone from Brawl or Rampage comes to the FSW to compete, it’s electric and a chance to once again show the EWC what the FSW is about and when you add in that Nostalgia is the X-Division Championship and the match is under X-Division rules well a win here tonight would make the suits in the EWC sit up and take notice and maybe drop their ridiculous clause saying that only those on the big brands can contend for their major titles but also we have a tradition here in the FSW of sending those from Brawl and Rampage home licking their wounds in defeat when they come to wrestle here.
Tlatoani Volando: Do not make this all about trying to get a head up on Nostalgia though, Sebastian Conner is looking to prove that Tyson got it wrong by giving you that match at Stranglemania…
Xavier Reid: Yes I know and I know what another loss would mean to me. Sebastian Conner will one day be the face of the FSW, he will hold that championship belt…
The camera cuts to the FSW Championship sitting on the bench…
Xavier Reid: There is no denying his talent but I’m not about to just hand over what I’ve worked so hard for, his time will come but it’s not now. Regardless of what happens here tonight he will be across the ring from me at Hardcore Revolution, I know this even if James Tyson hasn’t announced it or made it official, so I know tonight it just the next step as we head to that match and I want to add some doubt inside his head that maybe...just maybe this isn’t his time and the only way to do that is to make sure his hand isn’t raised at the end of the night...
Nikki Dupree: Add in Dominic Sanders has just arrived to the Berry Center…
Tlatoani Volando: Here to scout you X and make damn sure he’s ready to backup all that Twitter heat I’m sure…
Xavier Reid: Dominic Sanders will be dealt with tomorrow night on Brawl, tonight is about bringing the X-Division to the FSW and showing the EWC that the best X-Division star resides here in the FSW…
Nikki Dupree: Leave it all inside that ring tonight, you saw you have everything to lose then fight as if EVERYTHING is on the line…
Tlatoani Volando: Wow, whatever happened to ‘You can do it’...not much of a cheerleader this one…
Tlatoani shakes his head as Nikki watches him walk away…
Xavier Reid: Don’t worry about it, I will fight as if my life depends on it out there…
He pats Nikki on the shoulder as he walks over and opens his locker and begins to wrap his wrists…
MATCH 3
Criss Cassidy Vs Andre Jackson
The debuting Andre Jackson talked a nice game, but maybe this was a bit much for his debut. Criss Cassidy was more focused and angrier than usual, and he took out his recent frustrations on young Andre, teaching him the ways of FSW. Andre learned some and took Cassidy by surprise with some nice moves, but in the end, Cassidy and the Christening were too much for the young Jackson, and Cassidy gets the pin and win.
Cassidy comes thru the stage area after his win, still somewhat fuming, but then runs into James Tyson, and Cassidy low-key shoves the FSW GM out of his way. James calls out to Cassidy, who stops in his tracks, just now realizing who he just pushed aside.
JT: Since you have so much fire after your match...i'm gonna give you a gift....let you get off some of that frustration. You're now in the main event tonight. Take some of that self made frustration out where it can do you some good...in the ring!
Cassidy looks back at James, nods in approval, and goes to get ready.
MATCH 4
Kyle Gautier VS Matt Angel
The ever popular Kyle Gautier looks to keep his momentum going against the steady Matt Angel, looking to step back into the fray with a win of his own. Both men dazzle with nifty maneuvers and some hard hitting shots, taking the best each other can give, but when Matt got the advantage, he took it to Kyle, wanting to get his name back in the mix. Matt had Kyle where he wanted him, but a step too slow going for Heaven Sent led to a Falling Upward for Kyle, as he rolls Matt up and gets the 1, 2, 3!
MATCH 5
Otaki Vs Lexie Glass
The crowd is pumped up as two of the FSW veterans meet inside the ring and once the bell rings the two met in the center of the ring and Lexie rocks Otaki with a slap right across the face and she follows it up with a kick to the stomach and she hits the ropes and rocks Otaki’s head back with a knee lift. Lexie stays on the attack with a perfect german suplex and transitions it right into a ankle lock, she wrenched on the ankle and the fans are a bit stunned as it looks like Otaki might have to tap but she manages to make her way to the ropes for a break but Lexie takes the count all the way to 4 ½ before she breaks the hold.
Lexie continues to target the ankle with stomps and tries to once again apply the ankle lock but Otaki reaches up and hooks Lexie around the neck and rolls her up into a small package that draws a 2 count, Lexie gets to her feet and takes a swing up Otaki ducks the punch and connects with an open hand slap of her own and then drops Lexie with a spinning heel kick. Otaki hits the ropes and drops a jumping knee drop right onto the face of Lexie Glass. Otaki stands back up and motions for Lexie to get to her feet, Lexie slowly does and Otaki goes for the Blood Mist but Lexie has it scouted and ducks under the mist, when the last bit comes up she springs up and nails the Shattered Glass, she covers as the fans come to their feet but Otaki is able to kick out at 2 and ½ to the shock of Lexie.
The two manage to get to their feet as the match draws to a close. Otaki backs Lexie up with a series of European uppercuts and once again goes for the Blood Mist and once again Lexie manages to duck out of the way and the referee takes the full brunt of the mist, Otaki seems shocked for a moment giving Lexie the opening she needs to reach out and dig her fingernails into the eyes of Otaki and rack away at them, blinded Lexie jumps up, grabs the head of Otaki and nails the Glass Cutter, she grabs the ref and tries her best to wipe way the mist as she pins Otaki, the ref, only being able to see out of the one eye manages to make the 1, 2, 3 and signals for the bell to the booing FSW crowd.
MATCH 6
Draco Lazarus VS Kristian Bane
Bane and Lazarus went at each other hard and heavy, taking each other's best shots, going back and forth, but before this match could get out of first gear, they start to brawl over the arena again, up and down, the hate for each other showing in each punch. The ref in his wisdom lets them go a bit, and they eventually make their way back to the ring. Azarel makes his presence felt with a big cheap shot to Bane, but out came Lexie Glass, wielding a chair, whacking Azrael and getting him out of the match. Bane took advantage of the save, catching a slightly distracted Draco with a huge discus forearm, stunning him long enough to hit him with a Bane Effect, getting a win for the Future in this feud.
The camera pans over to Destiny Fairchild standing next to the barricade at ringside.
Fairchild: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time is Monday Night Brawl's... Dominic Sanders.
The camera shifts focus to Dominic Sanders, who is standing next to his front row ringside seat. The crowd gives Sanders a good pop as he smiles into the camera.
Fairchild: Mr. Sanders. We can all assume why you are here tonight. This is the second time in a row you've made an appearance on Future Stars of Wrestling. And now you're here, undoubtedly, to scout Xavier Reid, given that you and he will square off tomorrow night on Monday Night Brawl in Minneapolis.
Sanders: Well, Destiny... First of all you forgot to address me as "Texas' own, Dominic Sanders."
A decent pop from the Cypress, Texas crowd, although many remember his remarks from two weeks ago when he said the Dallas/Fort Worth area was the only good part of Texas.
Sanders: Second... I am here because I was invited. Yeah. Your very own FSW Champion, Xavier Reid, invited me to be here. If you paid more attention to Twitter, then you'd know that.
Fairchild: I must have missed what you're talking about. I don't follow you on Twitter Dom...
Sanders: You don't follow me on Twitter?! What's wrong with you?!
Fairchild: I'm sorry, I'm not...
Sanders: It's fine. I will gladly fill you in.
Sanders pulls out his cell phone and opens the Twitter app. He scrolls a little, looking for a specific tweet thread. Finally, he finds it.
Sanders: Tweet by me: "I guess it takes showing up on FSW to get the FSW Champ to follow you back!" Xavier Reid responded by saying: "You are 100% correct, now if you want likes you are going to have to have a match in the FSW, its the trade off" This made me chuckle a little bit, I won't lie. I don't remember if it was the content of the tweet or the lack of proper grammar. However, I chuckled. So then I responded with: "I don't think you want that, X" which leads me to the reason I am here by this informal invitation from your champion when he responded with: "As the FSW Champion I welcome ALL to the FSW." Yes. He welcomes ALL to the FSW. Therefore, by his invite... Dominic Sanders is here.
Fairchild: Well, Mr. Sanders, I suppose you can interpret it that way...
Sanders: Can and DID, Destiny. Now, as far as a match in the FSW goes? Well, we will see. I wouldn't want to embarrass the FSW Champion in my first, and possibly only, match on Future Stars of Wrestling. But it will be up to Mr. Tyson whether or not he wants to put me in his ring. And why wouldn't he? I'm one of the fastest rising stars in this company.
Fairchild: On the Brawl brand.
Sanders looks at Fairchild with a peeved look on his face. He takes a deep breath for a second.
Sanders: Believe what your little mind wants you to believe. But, as for tonight, Destiny, I am ready to sit here at ringside and watch your FSW Champion take on Sebastian Conner, who can't seem to keep his panties untwisted on Twitter, and my old acquaintance Nostalgia. And, maybe, I will decide whether or not I want to waste my time on this brand any longer.
Fairchild: And what about your match tomorrow night on Brawl with Xavier Reid? Does that not have any weight to the reason you're here tonight?
Sanders: Destiny... I was going to be here regardless of if Xavier was going to sack up and step onto Brawl tomorrow night. I was going to be here because it would help raise FSW's ratings. It was just a cherry on top that Danny Mac booked me against Xavier Reid for tomorrow night. The fact that it's not the Main Event is beyond me. Now, if you excuse me, I think there's a match that is about to begin.
Sanders sits back down in his chair as the scene fades away from Fairchild and into the ring for the Main Event.
The camera follows Destiny Fairchild up the ramp as she ducks back behind the curtain and runs right into Xavier Reid as he’s finishing up stretching as he’s about to head to the ring, she looks at him and then to the TV monitor in front of him
Destiny Fairchild: Xavier, I know you are about to walk out to the ring…
Xavier Reid: But you want to know if I heard what Dominic Sanders had to say?
Destiny Fairchild: Well, yes I did.
Xavier looks at her and rolls his shoulders
Xavier Reid: Yeah I heard him and it’s easy to be smug when he’s sitting on the other side of the rail but tomorrow night he will have to back up those words inside the U.S. Bank Stadium when he faces me one on one at Brawl #508. See Destiny I welcome everyone to FSW and why not, it’s the place to be, that’s why so many of the EWC elite come here and take a match. Ace King, King Flip, Ruthann, even tonight, our X-Division Champion Nostalgia graces our FSW ring yet Dominic Sanders comes here and sits in the crowd...as a spectator. Too afraid to mix it up with the real future of the EWC and why...because he knows he wouldn’t stand a chance. He hides behind James Tyson, boy all you have to do is pick up the phone or since you like Twitter so much tweet at the bossman, @fswboss, and say hey I want a match, it’s that easy but no...he just talks a good game and I get it, it doesn’t look good for a midcard talent like Dominic Sanders to come here and lose a match to a ‘developmental’ star right, it might cause Victor Price to ask why he has Dominic on his roster so he sits here tonight out with our fans in order to scout me for our match at Brawl and I’m glad he’s doing so. I don’t want him to have any excuses when I beat him in his own...territory, in front of his fans and his roster.
Destiny Fairchild: And do you worry he might jump the rail tonight and try to send you a message during your X-Division match?
Xavier Reid: Destiny if he were to do that, if he were to become part of that match then he wouldn’t make it to tomorrow night. If that thought is in his head, if that’s why he’s really here tonight then he better take me out for more than just that match, he better put me on the shelf. These fans here tonight came here to see three stars go at it in a X-Division classic, not have that classic ruined by a clown who really believes he is the FUTURE of the EWC...now I’m heading to the ring…
Destiny Fairchild: Good luck
Nostalgia Vs Criss Cassidy vs Sebastian Conner Vs Xavier Reid
DING DING DING
As the bell rings, Reid and Cassidy stare one another down from their respective corners. They begin to move towards one another methodically, step by measured step. Suddenly, Nostalgia leaps out of the corner and goes for a running clothesline on Cassidy. Barely breaking stride, Cassidy grabs him by the throat and hurls him bodily into the corner of the ring, colliding head-first with the turnbuckle. Nos sinks to the mat, clutching his head.
Cassidy turns back to Reid. The two of them pause a moment, considering one another, before locking up in a grapple, which Cassidy breaks with a boot to the stomach. As Reid staggers back Cassidy follows up, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him into the mat with a huge chokeslam. Cassidy moves to attack Reid, but Conner charges into him, smacking him into the turnbuckle and unloading on him with a furious series of fists, to the face, the stomach, the chest.
Wright: “Conner absolutely on fire here tonight!”
Shelby: “He's just trying to impress Tyson to get a title shot.”
Wright: “And? THat's what he should do!”
Conner pulls Cassidy out of the corner and drives him into the mat with a DDT. As he goes for the cover, Reid grabs him by the back of the head and drags him to his feet, nailing him with a vicious snap suplex, sending him crashing into the canvas. Reid grabs Conner's legs and ties him up in a sharpshooter, dragging him into the centre of the ring. The referee asks Chris if he gives up but he refuses, shaking his head defiantly and trying to make it to the ropes.
Wright: “That sharpshooter's locked in tight, we could see a submission right here!”
Shelby: “I wouldn't be surprised to see Conner give up here.”
Conner wrenches his body around, his face contorting as the sharpshooter sends bolts of pain through his body, but he refuses to give up, dragging himself across the ring inch by inch. The referee asks him if he submits, but Conner refuses to give in.
Wright: “Amazing show of resiliency here by Conner, refusing to tap out in spite of the agony he must be feeling right now.”
Shelby: “Amazingly idiotic, I think you mean."
Conner continues across the ring and somehow makes it to the ropes, grabbing onto them for dear life. Reid keeps the hold locked in for a few seconds before breaking it, standing up as Conner lays before him, recuperating, clutching his knees. Reid turns, and is levelled with a brutal lariat from the refreshed Cassidy. He drags him back to his feet, kicks him in the stomach before raising him vertically, drilling Reid into the mat with a vicious piledriver. He stomps him, kicking him in the stomach, his enormous boots smacking into Reid. Cassidy stops and takes a step back, measuring Reid up. He moves forward and slams down onto him with one enormous elbow, covering her for the pin.
Referee: 1.…....2.……KICKOUT!
Wright: “It'll take more than that to put Reid out for the night.”
Reid rises to his feet and he and Cassidy lock up. Reid kicks him in the stomach and Cassidy reels back, and Reid follows up with a vicious series of punches and kicks, smacking him in the chest, the stomach, the thigh, the shin, the face. Reid kicks him in the gut and grabs his head, leaping to the top rope and bouncing off it before planting him into the canvas with a tornado DDT. Reid drags Cassidy to his feet and grabs his arm, hurling him into the corner with a swift Irish whip. As he crashes into the turnbuckle Cassidy crushes Nostalgia, resting in the corner, seemingly disoriented from the blow to the head earlier in the match. Reid takes a running start and leaps into the air onto both of them but Cassidy manages to dodge and Reid crushes Nostalgia once more, slamming him into the corner. As Reid lands and turns around, he is met by a big boot from Cassidy, smacking him in the face and sending Reid sprawling into the ropes. Cassidy grabs him and pulls Reid forward, hitting him with a series of forearms, pounding into him. As Reid reels from the assault Cassidy grabs Reid and puts him over his shoulder, taking a small run-up before slamming him into the mat with a devastating powerslam. Cassidy stands and drags Reid to his feet. Reid is unsteady but defiant, daring Cassidy to attack him. Cassidy punches Reid in the face, once, twice, before extending one giant hand and grabbing him around the throat. Cassidy pulls him into the air and slams him down, hurling Reid's body into the canvas with a brutal chokeslam.
Wright: “That chokeslam was just devastating!”
Shelby: “Cassidy making a big statement tonight, showing he's the equal of the FSW Champion!”
Cassidy stomps Reid repeatedly before grabbing and dragging him to his feet. Cassidy pushes Reid into the ropes and leaves him there as he bounces off the other side, charging at him for a vicious clothesline. As he is about to make impact, Reid dodges, grabbing the top rope and pulling it down. Cassidy is unable to stop his momentum in time and collides with the ropes, tumbling over the top to the outside. Reid drags himself to his feet and makes his way over to Nostalgia, incapacitated in the corner, seemingly the worse for wear. Reid grabs him and drags him out of the corner, holding him upright on unsteady feet. Reid gestures to the crowd and nails Nos with X-Ecution, planting him into the canvas. Reid goes for the cover. Just behind him, Conner attempts to get to his feet and make his way over to stop the pin, but his knees give out on him and he falls to the mat.
Referee: 1.…….2.…….3!
Deneen: “And the winner of this huge Fatal Fourway Match….Xavier Reid!!!”
The referee calls for the bell as “Cochise” begins to play once again. Reid rolls off Nostalgia and lays on his back a moment, staring at the ceiling, attempting to get his breath back. Eventually he manages to crawl to the ropes and pulls himself up, breathing heavily. The referee raises Reid's hand in the air and Reid holds his title up to the audience before rolling out of the ring, making his way up the entrance ramp, leaving an angry Cassidy and a bewildered Conner in his wake as FSW 59 comes to a close.
