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.
"Conner's my hero"
"Reid is King"
"Double M"
The lights inside the UNO Lakefront Arena go out as the jumbo screen flickers and comes to life, the fans come to their feet.
‘Cochise’ plays out inside the arena as once last image fills the jumbo screen and illuminates onto the mat
The fans cheer out DOOMSDAY as Xavier Reid steps out onto the stage, the FSW Championship over his shoulder as the arena lights come on. He holds his arms up into the air and crossed them into a X over is head as he poses on the stage for a few moments and then walks down towards the ring, holding the FSW Championship out in front of his so the fans can reach out and touch the championship belt.
Wright: And to kick things off tonight the FSW Champion Xavier Reid...
Shelby: Maybe he should be worried about his match later tonight or about the Main Event which will determine who will take that belt off him at Hardcore Revolution instead of making an appearance out here to makes these fans happy.
Xavier marches up the steps and climbs into the ring, he walks over and takes a microphone from Deneen McQueen and walks to the center of the ring. He takes the FSW Championship belt and lays it at his feet.
Reid: Welcome to FSW New Orleans!!!!
The sold out crowd in the UNO Lakefront Arena stand and cheer as Xavier smirks
Wright: This crowd seems pumped up for tonight’s show…
Shelby: And it never hurts to pandered to the crowd...sell out!!!
Reid: And what a show you are in for here tonight as we come to you one last time before we head to Europe and I, along with all of you find out once and for all who will challenge me for this championship at Showtime.
Xavier looks down at the FSW Championship belt at his feet as the camera cuts off him and out to the crowd where fans seems split on who they want, there are signs for Criss Cassidy, Mark McNair and Sebastian Connor and then to the right of Xavier a section of the crowd breaks out into a…
But then to Xavier’s left the section of the crowd breaks into their own chant…
Xavier turns his head to the left but the crowd behind him are not to be left out or outdone…
Xavier turns and looks behind him as all three chants come into one…
Wright: These fans are jacked up tonight…
Shelby: Yeah well two thirds of them are going to be pissed when the show is over…
Inside the ring Xavier smiles and takes it all in…
Reid: Clearly you have your favorite and so do I…
Xavier looks to his right and that side of the crowd cheers…
Reid: But what I think doesn’t matter, all three men have a shot here tonight and all I can say is let the best man win...and to THAT man...I’ll see you at Showtime…
Xavier again looks down at the FSW Championship belt and then back up into the camera
Reid: But before that tonight I have a match against a man that came in right around the time I did but hasn’t had the same kind of success as I have...Matt Angel, now some might look twice at this match and wonder why Matt is being given this shot based of his record here in FSW but it’s not for us to question but realize that tonight, here in New Orleans at FSW #60 Matt Angel is getting a shot of a lifetime because a win here tonight will change his life forever and guarantee him the the next time he’s booked against the FSW Champion that this…
Xavier points down at the belt without breaking his stare into the camera…
Reid: will be on the line, that it will be a FSW Championship title match because that’s what happens when you beat the champion Matt, you jump to the head of the line, that’s what’s on the line here tonight. See everyone always says ‘they want to be the champ’...right, it’s why you get into this business, to have the belt, to be a champion, nobody ever says ‘man I want to be a mid card guy, maybe get on a ppv a few times and just have a nice career’...no, we don’t aim for mediocrity, we don’t dream about being average, we want to be the BEST, an ICON in this business but the truth is not many get to achieve those dreams, the reality is that the majority just flounder around this business never living up to the hype that is created for them and the hype they create for themselves, so when they grab this microphone and tell you how they WILL be champion you just roll your eyes and wonder who will be on the next segment. So tonight Matt you have the chance to make these fans out here sit up and take notice when you tell them that one day you will be…
Xavier reaches down and grabs the FSW Championship belt and holds it in front of the camera…
Reid: The FSW Champion!!!!
Wright: Xavier not pulling punches here tonight…
Shelby: He’s just not buying into the fantasy world most live in...
Reid: Now…
But Xavier is cut off by a loud buzz and he turns to face the jumbo screen…
Wright: What the...
Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.
Wright: OH MY GOD!!!! IT’S ‘THE ICEMAN’ KONRAD RAAB!!!!!
Franklin: What in the hell is he doing here?
Konrad Raab high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle as he asks for the microphone and is handed one before looking at Xavier and speaks.
Konrad Raab: Now, I don't mean to spoil your thunder with your title match. As you fans know, FSW is coming to my hometown on the next show as I happen to be raised and born from that country. I was walking backstage, wondering who would step up to me and fight them for one match? Maybe you could be the guy I fight in my hometown the next show.
Konrad gets cheers from the crowd as of course, some of those fans know Konrad wrestles in other companies but knows it's not a full-time commitment to the company as he looks at Xavier, wondering what he thinks about the potential challenge thrown in front of him as he responds to the question.
Wright: RAAB JUST CHALLENGED THE FSW CHAMPION TO A MATCH AT FSW #061 in Cologne, Germany when the EWC embarks on its European Tour.
Franklin: Xavier can’t take a match against an outsider on the eve of a title defense
Reid: You know I heard rumors, whispers in the wrestling community that ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab was looking for a fight, be it a one night fight when the FSW came to Cologne, Germany and I’m not going to lie, I liked the idea of this.
The fans start to cheer as Xavier smile and turns out to look at them
Reid: I mean why wouldn’t I, do you know who this man is?
The New Orleans fans start to chant
Xavier nods and looks back at Konrad
Reid: But those whispers faded away and I started to think those rumors were nothing to be taken seriously yet here we are...and here YOU stand. I said last week that ALL are welcome here in the FSW and that includes everyone in the EWC and anyone THAT IS NOT, so Konrad Raab welcome, welcome to the FSW.
The FSW stand up and give Konrad Raab a standing ovation
Reid: Now, onto the business that has brought you out to this ring, out here face to face with me. If you came here looking for a fight then you came to the right place and if you are looking for someone to go one on one with in Cologne, Germany then Konrad look no further because you have found your man...you have found your opponent.
The fans go crazy with this announcement
Wright: I can’t believe what I’m hearing...Xavier Reid v. ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab at FSW #61
Shelby: What is Xavier thinking, he should brush this off on someone lower on the roster, we don’t owe this guy top billing here in FSW against one of our top stars
Wright: This is a dream match up and it’s happening right here in FSW
Xavier reaches out and extends his hand to ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab and Konrad accepts the handshake from Xavier and gives him a small hug before he leaves the ring, high-fiving the fans and goes backstage.
Jones and Larson lock horns and take it to each other, each taking heavy shots in the beginning. The match eventually settles into a groove, with each man holding the advantage for a while, but eventually the size and strength of Jones proves to be a bit much as the match goes into the late stages, and Jones reverses Larson's chain breaker into an Up in Smoke for the pin and win.
"Hate Me Now" by Nas and Puff Daddy begins to play as Marquee steps out onto the ramp way to a chorus of boos. He slowly makes his way to the ring while taunting the New Orleans crowd.
Dick Shelby: Marquee isn't scheduled to be here. He's in wrestling gear at that, Franklin.
Franklin Wright: You never know. We've only seen Marquee twice since his debut in FSW. He won his first match, but he really didn't fare so well in the Stranglemania battle royal.
Marquee steps into the ring, mic in hand. He raises his hand and the New Orleans fans get louder and louder.
Marquee: Seriously?
Fans: Seriously.
Marquee: I'm sure that you all know who I am. Then again this is Louisiana.
The fans boo even louder at that.
Marquee: You probably know that I'm a man who doesn't wait around for opportunity. I take opportunity. That's how I've won two World titles.
Dick Shelby: The fans here don't seem to like Marquee, but he's telling the truth. He's won two world titles, one on his first night with his former company.
Marquee: I'm not just a man that takes opportunity though. You see, I'm not like most of the wrestlers here in EWC. I'm not selfish. I believe in taking opportunity, but I also believe in giving opportunity as well. As I looked through the roster here at FSW, and looked around in the locker rooms, and I haven't found anyone worthy of my time. I haven't found one single person in that locker room to give me a good match.
The fans begin booing again. Marquee throws his hand up again which causes them to get louder. He holds the microphone out waiting for them to silence, and begins again.
Marqee: So I've decided to give an opportunity. I happen to know that there's at least one person in this New Orleans audience that has always dreamed of being a wrestler. There's at least one person who dreams at night that they could be half the man that I am. They dream that they could have a wife as sexy and beautiful as mine. There's at least one person here that dreams about wearing $15,000 suits or driving a Bentley. So this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.
Franklin Wright: What? I don't think he can do that.
Marquee: I'm going to step out of the ring and pick one lucky fan to face me tonight in a one on one match. So who's it going to be?
Marquee steps out of the ring and walks slowly around the ringside. The New Orleans fans go crazy trying to get the chance. He points at a few, but continues moving on. He points at one guy and laughs.
Marquee: Not you fat boy. You would probably sweat on me and I'd have to take two or three extra showers.
He continues to walk around. Finally pointing at a guy. The man gets a shocked look on his face.
Dick Shelby: I don't even think that guy was raising his hand. I don't think he even wanted to wrestle.
Marquee: You. Do you want to take a chance at greatness? Do you want to be able to tell your grandkids that you once faced the greatest wrestler to ever live?
The man slowly stands up and EWC security helps his over the barricade and into the ring. Marquee follows.
Marquee: What's your name, Sport?
Fan: Norman Lewis.
Marquee: Well, Norman Lewis, you ready to become famous?
The man, Norman Lewis, slowly shakes his head, as Sam Davis makes his way into the ring. Sam says a few words to the man, and then looks over at Marquee. Marquee just shakes his head.
Marquee: Then let's get this started. Ring the bell.
As soon as the bell rings, Marquee grabs Norman Lewis and hits him with a quick elbow to the face knocking him off his feet. Marquee then puts the man in a figure four leglock. The man quickly begins to tap, but Marquee hesitates for a moment before releasing the hold. The referee calls for the bell, and helps Norman Lewis as he staggers out of the ring. Marquee grabs the microphone again.
Marquee: Now Norman Lewis will be famous for getting beat by the greatest wrestler of all time.
Marquee throws down the microphone and walks out of the ring as the crowd continues to boo him.
Dick Shelby: I guess that Marquee just won that impromptu match against....was it Norman Lewis?
Franklin Wright: Such a hard fought match.
The Syndicate have shown themselves to be a solid team after taking things into their own hands. Kyle and Otaki were game, very game, especially Kyle, who more than held his own with the big man Kristian Bane, but Otaki just didn't seem to be herself. A step slow on her Dragon Slave to Glass, the red mist was a beat or two too late, and Glass and Bane took advantage, with Glass hitting Otaki with a Glass Cutter after avoiding the Kamehameha for the tag win.
The camera cuts to the locker room of Xavier Reid, he walks in seeing both Nikki Dupree and his cousin Tlatoani Volando in conversation. They turn and look at Xavier as he nods his head but this doesn’t seem to satisfy either of them as he takes a seat on the bench and pulls open his bag and begins to take out his wrestling gear.
Tlatoani Volando: What the hell was that?
Xavier looks up at his cousin and smiles
Xavier Reid: A friendly open challenge
Tlatoani Volando: A friendly open challenge? Really…
Nikki Dupree: What I think Tlatoani is trying to say…
Tlatoani Volando: No, what Tlatoani is trying to say is...what the hell are you thinking? We don’t know this guy, he has nothing to lose at FSW #61 while you…
Xavier Reid: I know, I have everything to lose, I have heard this all my life, hell I heard it last week when I went to James Tyson and asked to be the one that faced the X-Division Champion Nostalgia. There is risk in everything but what would you want me to do, sit back and do nothing, play it safe and watch as the world moves on around me?
Tlatoani Volando: A man walked in looking for a match at FSW #61, in front of is home crowd, he could have picked anyone on this roster but he started at the top, with you Xavier. If I’m wrestling in front of the people I grew up with I’m picking someone I think I can beat, so what does he know that you don’t? Plus, you’re the FSW Champion, you could have told him he wasn’t worth your time and nobody would have thought otherwise, told him to work his way down the ladder and find someone who isn’t as busy, who doesn’t have a title defense at Showtime.
Xavier Reid: Yeah...but where’s the fun in that?
Nikki Dupree: Xavier…
But Tlatoani cuts her off
Tlatoani Volando: Where’s the fun in that, Jesus, Xavier this guy is looking for a one off, he’s not signed to the FSW or has anything to do with the EWC…
Xavier Reid: Yeah, but he’s a big name in the world of wrestling, ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab is known all over the world and a Konrad Raab v. Xavier Reid will bring eyes on the FSW and that is what I want Tlatoani, where the best in the world say to themselves ‘hey, I want to take a crack at them’ and come looking for a match because when we win it makes the FSW look that much better on the world scale.
Nikki Dupree: However Xavier, this might not be the best time to try and be the ambassador of the FSW, you have three men tonight challenging for the right to face you at FSW/Prime Showtime and not to mention your match tonight against Matt Angel, you need to be focused on the now and not worrying about tomorrow and what a match with Konrad Raab would mean on the world stage.
Xavier Reid: I know what is in front of me tonight…
As Matt Angel appears on screen we see the sudden stop of talking by Xavier Reid. As Xavier Reid looks up at Matt Angel. Matt full of confidence starts to speak.
Matt Angel: Xavier Reid I do hope that you know what is in front of you tonight. I hope you're not here to cater for the fans that love you, I hope you're just not spewing the words to favor yourself as an ambassador of FSW. I hope you are going take me serious tonight. As you have mentioned. One win for me could change my life here in FSW and I'm going to do it. I'm going to take you to your limit and show the world that I can hang with anyone. I'm changing my fortunes tonight with a win over you.
Matt walks off
After suffering a loss last week against the charismatic and oddly fun Kyle Gautier, Matt Angel starts the match off strong against the FSW Champion, Xavier Reid. The upcoming star began the match with a series of suplexs taking Xavier a little by surprise. After the third in a row, the champion popped back up looking dead into Angel’s eyes with a slight smile. He went as far as to nod his head a few times laughing telling Matt Angel “Alright, you had your fun.” That is about when the fun did end as Xavier rushed into Angel with a thunderous spear taking both men to the ring.
Xavier quickly scoops Angel up and whips him to the corner and his a running body splash on his opponent. He then sends his opponent to the opposite corner for a second, followed by a third. He looks on with a prideful smile as he goes for an early pin.
Xavier is shocked as Matt kicks out after a quick two count. The champ is now starting to loose his fun demeanor in exchange for a more serious vibe. He picks Matt up and sends him towards the ropes and on the rebound tries for a clothesline, Matt ducks bouncing back off the ropes with a full body diving clothesline of his own knocking the champ to the mat. He picks Xavier up and returns to what he began the match with, another series of suplexes, but Reid reverses out of it and hits Angel with the X-ploder, but doesn't get a lot of it. Reid goes to set up Angel with another X-ploder, but as he's running toward the corner, Angel leaps off Reid's shoulders and lands on the top turnbuckle as Reid runs into the ringpost. Matt pushes Reid over, and leaps off, hitting a Heaven Sent! The crowd counts loudly along with the ref as the 1.2.3 is counted.
The camera cuts to Franklin Wright and Dick Shelby sitting at the announcers table
Wright: We are set for an amazing Triple Threat Match here at FSW #60 that will match three men gunning for their first FSW Championship match.
Shelby: Everyone that steps into the FSW wants to be in this spot that these three men are in tonight, a match to make themselves the #1 Contender for the FSW Championship.
Wright: And the winner of tonight’s match will face FSW Champion Xavier Reid at the FSW/Prime joint ppv Showtime, live June 25th from Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Shelby: The final night of the EWC’s European Tour.
Wright: And now without further ado let’s send it up to the ring and Deneen McQueen
DING DING DING
Deneen McQueen: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is a Triple Threat Match scheduled for one fall and the winner will be named the #1 Contender for the FSW Championship and will receive a FSW Championship Title Match as SHOWTIME!!!! Introducing first….
The music starts and at :10 when the song first says Freedom he walks out into the entrance of the ramp.
Deneen McQueen: Standing at 6' weighing in at 235 pounds. Mark McNair!
At :23 when the first Cymbals Crash and the word Freedom hits again. The red and white Pyro hit in a diagonal direction crossing. Mark slowly walks down the ramp with a slight smile on his face. He stops in the middle of the ring when at :32 the word Savage is said he raises his hands to the air in a fist then brings it down and he continues to walk down the ramp. When he gets to the end he turns to the left and he gets to the steps. After he gets to the apron he wipes his feet, climbs in and takes off the robe.
Deneen McQueen: And his opponent…
Second Coming" by Juelz Santana begins to play as smoke shoots out infront 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: Standing 6’3” and weighting in at 205 pounds ‘The Second Coming’ Criss Cassidy
He holds his arms out and makes his way down to the ring.
Deneen McQueen: And their opponent…
The house lights darken. The first powerful chords of Godsmack's Bulletproof emanate throughout the arena. Sebastian Conner's smug visage flashes across the big screens and cues the audience to erupt into loud cheers. It matters not to the man who has just stepped out onto the stage.
Deneen McQueen: Now onto his way to the ring, now making his residence in Vail, Colorado, ladies and gentlemen, what stands before you is the true future of professional wrestling, he is the King of the Hunt, SEBASTIAN CONNER!
White strobe lights briefly identify Sebastian in the darkness as he saunters down the ramp. He can be heard, taking issue with with the few members of the audience who are booing him. He gives it right back with venomous cut downs while also talking any trash to men, women, and children alike as he makes his way down to the ring. He is sporting custom made fighter's shorts and black boots to match. He has a seriousness to him as he continues his march towards the ring. The fans eat it up as he rolls in, pushing pass McQueen, and makes a beeline towards the far corner and climbs up onto the second rope. As Connor raises his arms out to the side, the house lights come back as he peers over the packed and buzzing arena crowd. He looks down on them with an arrogant yet appreciative smirk. With agility befitting of a man of his stature, he hops off turnbuckle and turns to the entrance ramp awaiting his opponent jumping and checking his wrist tape.
Wright: These three men are ready to tear each other apart...
Shelby: I would think so…
Senior Referee Jacob Waters motions for the bell
DING DING DING
Wright: And here we go…
Sebastian goes right for Criss Cassidy with a series of closed fist punches that backs The Second Coming into the corner and snaps his head back with a uppercut punch but just as he’s about to drive a knee into Cassidy Mark McNair grabs Sebastian and spins him around and locks him around the waist and sends him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex, Mark holds on and lifts Sebastian back up and drops him again with another belly to belly suplex and for the third time he holds on and is about to deliver another belly to belly but Criss Cassidy comes off the ropes with a springboard missile drop kick that takes both Sebastian and Mark off their feet…
Wright: Criss Cassidy might be the most athletic star we have here in FSW…
Shelby: But Conner is right back up…
And without missing a beat Sebastian is right back up to his feet as Criss spins up to his feet and is met with a running knee to the chest from Sebastian Conner that sends him back into the corner. Sebastian rushes in and goes for another knee but Criss drops and rolls out of the ring as Sebastian leaps and collides with the turnbuckle. Cassidy rushes up to the top rope and leaps off and nails The Christening, he hooks a leg as Jacob Waters slides in for the count…
ONE
.
.
But Mark McNair is right there to break up the pin with a kick to the back of Criss Cassidy’s head. He pulls Criss up and sends him into the ropes and plants him with a scoop slam, he hits the ropes and drops an elbow drop to the chest of Criss Cassidy and he now drops and hooks the leg, Jacob Waters drops down for the count…
ONE
.
.
But this time Sebastian Conner is there to break up the pin with a brutal punt kick to the head of Mark McNair…
Wright: What a sicking kick…
Shelby: One of these men is going to have to eliminate the third member of this match in order to score a pin…
As if he heard Dick Shelby Sebastian Conner grabs Mark McNair by the head and sends him through the ropes and crashing to the floor as he turns his attention on Criss Cassidy and pulls him up to his feet, Sebastian punched Criss in the face with a stiff right fist but Criss fires right back with a punch of his own, the crowd cheers as both men grab the back of their opponents head and fire away with right hands at one another's face, Sebastian changes it up with a stiff forearm that sends Criss bouncing off the ropes but he returns fire with a European Uppercut that sends Sebastian back to the ropes and he counters with a Superman punch that stuns Criss Cassidy, both men stunned a bit as Mark McNair rolls back into the ring and takes both men off their feet with a double running clothesline…
Wright: And Mark McNair is back in the ring...
Shelby: And has bad intentions in mind…
Mark grabs Criss and puts him on top of Sebastian and then runs towards the ropes and brings the fans to their feet with a Running Senton onto both his opponents. Mark reaches down and grabs one of Criss Cassidy’s legs and locks him into a single legged Boston Crab, he wrenches and leans back as Cassidy reaches out for the ropes as Jacob Waters checks on him, Sebastian slowly gets to his feet and sees what’s going on and leaps into action with a superkick to the face of Mark McNair causing all three men to be down for the first time in the match.
Wright: First man up might take control of this match…
Shelby: Thank you captain obvious…
All three men crawl towards the ropes as the fans come to life...each man reach the ropes and use them to pull themselves up and get to their feet, they turn and all meet in the center of the ring, Criss Cassidy connects with a spinning heel kick to Sebastian’s head but Mark kicks Cassidy in the gut and doubles him over as he turns towards McNair, Mark grabs Criss around the neck and plants him with a DDT but as he tries to sit up Sebastian shakes off the kick and connects with a kick of his own to the chest of Mark McNair and then another one and another one, Cassidy rolls behind Sebastian and rolls him up…

Shelby: And gets a shot at the FSW Championship…
Mark McNair stands in the center of the ring with his arms raised when ‘Cochise’ hits….
Wright: And here comes Xavier Reid…
Shelby: We might not have to wait for Showtime…
Xavier marches down to the ring, the FSW Championship over his shoulder, he climbs into the ring and looks at Mark McNair and then stretches out the championship belt between them, looks down at the belt and then right at Mark McNair…
Wright: It is set, Xavier Reid v. Mark McNair at Showtime, for Dick Shelby, I’m Franklin Wright we will see you at FSW #61 from Cologne, Germany
The camera cuts away from Xavier and Mark in the center of the ring.
We see Destiny Fairchild running toward the 'gorilla' position, where there's been a report of some sort of altercation involving one of the main event participants. As Destiny arrives on scene, camera in tow, we see FSW GM James Tyson standing eye to eye with Sebastian Conner, looking furious, and both men are going back and forth with each other. Suddenly, Sebastian pushes James, James pushes back, and they start butting up against each other again. James tries to calm down the situation and walk away, but Sebastian loses it, pulls James back and wallops him with a European uppercut that sends James flying into the wall, then to the ground. Sebastian storms off, as FSW #60 fades with the downed James Tyson holding his head on the ground.

FUTURE STARS!
The lights inside the UNO Lakefront Arena go out as the jumbo screen flickers and comes to life, the fans come to their feet.
‘Cochise’ plays out inside the arena as once last image fills the jumbo screen and illuminates onto the mat
The fans cheer out DOOMSDAY as Xavier Reid steps out onto the stage, the FSW Championship over his shoulder as the arena lights come on. He holds his arms up into the air and crossed them into a X over is head as he poses on the stage for a few moments and then walks down towards the ring, holding the FSW Championship out in front of his so the fans can reach out and touch the championship belt.
Wright: And to kick things off tonight the FSW Champion Xavier Reid...
Shelby: Maybe he should be worried about his match later tonight or about the Main Event which will determine who will take that belt off him at Hardcore Revolution instead of making an appearance out here to makes these fans happy.
Xavier marches up the steps and climbs into the ring, he walks over and takes a microphone from Deneen McQueen and walks to the center of the ring. He takes the FSW Championship belt and lays it at his feet.
Reid: Welcome to FSW New Orleans!!!!
The sold out crowd in the UNO Lakefront Arena stand and cheer as Xavier smirks
Wright: This crowd seems pumped up for tonight’s show…
Shelby: And it never hurts to pandered to the crowd...sell out!!!
Reid: And what a show you are in for here tonight as we come to you one last time before we head to Europe and I, along with all of you find out once and for all who will challenge me for this championship at Showtime.
Xavier looks down at the FSW Championship belt at his feet as the camera cuts off him and out to the crowd where fans seems split on who they want, there are signs for Criss Cassidy, Mark McNair and Sebastian Connor and then to the right of Xavier a section of the crowd breaks out into a…
SEBASTIAN CONNER
CLAP CLAP... CLAP CLAP CLAP
SEBASTIAN CONNER
CLAP CLAP... CLAP CLAP CLAP
But then to Xavier’s left the section of the crowd breaks into their own chant…
CASSIDY
CASSIDY
CASSIDY
WE WANT MARK
CLAP CLAP CLAP
WE WANT MARK
CLAP CLAP CLAP
SEBASTIAN CONNER
CLAP CLAP... CLAP CLAP CLAP
CASSIDY
CASSIDY
WE WANT MARK
CLAP CLAP CLAP
Shelby: Yeah well two thirds of them are going to be pissed when the show is over…
Inside the ring Xavier smiles and takes it all in…
Reid: Clearly you have your favorite and so do I…
Xavier looks to his right and that side of the crowd cheers…
Reid: But what I think doesn’t matter, all three men have a shot here tonight and all I can say is let the best man win...and to THAT man...I’ll see you at Showtime…
Xavier again looks down at the FSW Championship belt and then back up into the camera
Reid: But before that tonight I have a match against a man that came in right around the time I did but hasn’t had the same kind of success as I have...Matt Angel, now some might look twice at this match and wonder why Matt is being given this shot based of his record here in FSW but it’s not for us to question but realize that tonight, here in New Orleans at FSW #60 Matt Angel is getting a shot of a lifetime because a win here tonight will change his life forever and guarantee him the the next time he’s booked against the FSW Champion that this…
Xavier points down at the belt without breaking his stare into the camera…
Reid: will be on the line, that it will be a FSW Championship title match because that’s what happens when you beat the champion Matt, you jump to the head of the line, that’s what’s on the line here tonight. See everyone always says ‘they want to be the champ’...right, it’s why you get into this business, to have the belt, to be a champion, nobody ever says ‘man I want to be a mid card guy, maybe get on a ppv a few times and just have a nice career’...no, we don’t aim for mediocrity, we don’t dream about being average, we want to be the BEST, an ICON in this business but the truth is not many get to achieve those dreams, the reality is that the majority just flounder around this business never living up to the hype that is created for them and the hype they create for themselves, so when they grab this microphone and tell you how they WILL be champion you just roll your eyes and wonder who will be on the next segment. So tonight Matt you have the chance to make these fans out here sit up and take notice when you tell them that one day you will be…
Xavier reaches down and grabs the FSW Championship belt and holds it in front of the camera…
Reid: The FSW Champion!!!!
Wright: Xavier not pulling punches here tonight…
Shelby: He’s just not buying into the fantasy world most live in...
Reid: Now…
But Xavier is cut off by a loud buzz and he turns to face the jumbo screen…
Wright: What the...
Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.
Wright: OH MY GOD!!!! IT’S ‘THE ICEMAN’ KONRAD RAAB!!!!!
Franklin: What in the hell is he doing here?
Konrad Raab high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle as he asks for the microphone and is handed one before looking at Xavier and speaks.
Konrad Raab: Now, I don't mean to spoil your thunder with your title match. As you fans know, FSW is coming to my hometown on the next show as I happen to be raised and born from that country. I was walking backstage, wondering who would step up to me and fight them for one match? Maybe you could be the guy I fight in my hometown the next show.
Konrad gets cheers from the crowd as of course, some of those fans know Konrad wrestles in other companies but knows it's not a full-time commitment to the company as he looks at Xavier, wondering what he thinks about the potential challenge thrown in front of him as he responds to the question.
Wright: RAAB JUST CHALLENGED THE FSW CHAMPION TO A MATCH AT FSW #061 in Cologne, Germany when the EWC embarks on its European Tour.
Franklin: Xavier can’t take a match against an outsider on the eve of a title defense
Reid: You know I heard rumors, whispers in the wrestling community that ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab was looking for a fight, be it a one night fight when the FSW came to Cologne, Germany and I’m not going to lie, I liked the idea of this.
The fans start to cheer as Xavier smile and turns out to look at them
Reid: I mean why wouldn’t I, do you know who this man is?
The New Orleans fans start to chant
RAAB
RAAB
RAAB
Reid: But those whispers faded away and I started to think those rumors were nothing to be taken seriously yet here we are...and here YOU stand. I said last week that ALL are welcome here in the FSW and that includes everyone in the EWC and anyone THAT IS NOT, so Konrad Raab welcome, welcome to the FSW.
The FSW stand up and give Konrad Raab a standing ovation
Reid: Now, onto the business that has brought you out to this ring, out here face to face with me. If you came here looking for a fight then you came to the right place and if you are looking for someone to go one on one with in Cologne, Germany then Konrad look no further because you have found your man...you have found your opponent.
The fans go crazy with this announcement
Wright: I can’t believe what I’m hearing...Xavier Reid v. ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab at FSW #61
Shelby: What is Xavier thinking, he should brush this off on someone lower on the roster, we don’t owe this guy top billing here in FSW against one of our top stars
Wright: This is a dream match up and it’s happening right here in FSW
Xavier reaches out and extends his hand to ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab and Konrad accepts the handshake from Xavier and gives him a small hug before he leaves the ring, high-fiving the fans and goes backstage.
OPENER
Smokey Jones Vs James Larson
Jones and Larson lock horns and take it to each other, each taking heavy shots in the beginning. The match eventually settles into a groove, with each man holding the advantage for a while, but eventually the size and strength of Jones proves to be a bit much as the match goes into the late stages, and Jones reverses Larson's chain breaker into an Up in Smoke for the pin and win.
"Hate Me Now" by Nas and Puff Daddy begins to play as Marquee steps out onto the ramp way to a chorus of boos. He slowly makes his way to the ring while taunting the New Orleans crowd.
Dick Shelby: Marquee isn't scheduled to be here. He's in wrestling gear at that, Franklin.
Franklin Wright: You never know. We've only seen Marquee twice since his debut in FSW. He won his first match, but he really didn't fare so well in the Stranglemania battle royal.
Marquee steps into the ring, mic in hand. He raises his hand and the New Orleans fans get louder and louder.
Marquee: Seriously?
Fans: Seriously.
Marquee: I'm sure that you all know who I am. Then again this is Louisiana.
The fans boo even louder at that.
Marquee: You probably know that I'm a man who doesn't wait around for opportunity. I take opportunity. That's how I've won two World titles.
Dick Shelby: The fans here don't seem to like Marquee, but he's telling the truth. He's won two world titles, one on his first night with his former company.
Marquee: I'm not just a man that takes opportunity though. You see, I'm not like most of the wrestlers here in EWC. I'm not selfish. I believe in taking opportunity, but I also believe in giving opportunity as well. As I looked through the roster here at FSW, and looked around in the locker rooms, and I haven't found anyone worthy of my time. I haven't found one single person in that locker room to give me a good match.
The fans begin booing again. Marquee throws his hand up again which causes them to get louder. He holds the microphone out waiting for them to silence, and begins again.
Marqee: So I've decided to give an opportunity. I happen to know that there's at least one person in this New Orleans audience that has always dreamed of being a wrestler. There's at least one person who dreams at night that they could be half the man that I am. They dream that they could have a wife as sexy and beautiful as mine. There's at least one person here that dreams about wearing $15,000 suits or driving a Bentley. So this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.
Franklin Wright: What? I don't think he can do that.
Marquee: I'm going to step out of the ring and pick one lucky fan to face me tonight in a one on one match. So who's it going to be?
Marquee steps out of the ring and walks slowly around the ringside. The New Orleans fans go crazy trying to get the chance. He points at a few, but continues moving on. He points at one guy and laughs.
Marquee: Not you fat boy. You would probably sweat on me and I'd have to take two or three extra showers.
He continues to walk around. Finally pointing at a guy. The man gets a shocked look on his face.
Dick Shelby: I don't even think that guy was raising his hand. I don't think he even wanted to wrestle.
Marquee: You. Do you want to take a chance at greatness? Do you want to be able to tell your grandkids that you once faced the greatest wrestler to ever live?
The man slowly stands up and EWC security helps his over the barricade and into the ring. Marquee follows.
Marquee: What's your name, Sport?
Fan: Norman Lewis.
Marquee: Well, Norman Lewis, you ready to become famous?
The man, Norman Lewis, slowly shakes his head, as Sam Davis makes his way into the ring. Sam says a few words to the man, and then looks over at Marquee. Marquee just shakes his head.
Marquee: Then let's get this started. Ring the bell.
As soon as the bell rings, Marquee grabs Norman Lewis and hits him with a quick elbow to the face knocking him off his feet. Marquee then puts the man in a figure four leglock. The man quickly begins to tap, but Marquee hesitates for a moment before releasing the hold. The referee calls for the bell, and helps Norman Lewis as he staggers out of the ring. Marquee grabs the microphone again.
Marquee: Now Norman Lewis will be famous for getting beat by the greatest wrestler of all time.
Marquee throws down the microphone and walks out of the ring as the crowd continues to boo him.
Dick Shelby: I guess that Marquee just won that impromptu match against....was it Norman Lewis?
Franklin Wright: Such a hard fought match.
MATCH 2
Kyle Gautier/Otaki Vs The Syndicate
The Syndicate have shown themselves to be a solid team after taking things into their own hands. Kyle and Otaki were game, very game, especially Kyle, who more than held his own with the big man Kristian Bane, but Otaki just didn't seem to be herself. A step slow on her Dragon Slave to Glass, the red mist was a beat or two too late, and Glass and Bane took advantage, with Glass hitting Otaki with a Glass Cutter after avoiding the Kamehameha for the tag win.
The camera cuts to the locker room of Xavier Reid, he walks in seeing both Nikki Dupree and his cousin Tlatoani Volando in conversation. They turn and look at Xavier as he nods his head but this doesn’t seem to satisfy either of them as he takes a seat on the bench and pulls open his bag and begins to take out his wrestling gear.
Tlatoani Volando: What the hell was that?
Xavier looks up at his cousin and smiles
Xavier Reid: A friendly open challenge
Tlatoani Volando: A friendly open challenge? Really…
Nikki Dupree: What I think Tlatoani is trying to say…
Tlatoani Volando: No, what Tlatoani is trying to say is...what the hell are you thinking? We don’t know this guy, he has nothing to lose at FSW #61 while you…
Xavier Reid: I know, I have everything to lose, I have heard this all my life, hell I heard it last week when I went to James Tyson and asked to be the one that faced the X-Division Champion Nostalgia. There is risk in everything but what would you want me to do, sit back and do nothing, play it safe and watch as the world moves on around me?
Tlatoani Volando: A man walked in looking for a match at FSW #61, in front of is home crowd, he could have picked anyone on this roster but he started at the top, with you Xavier. If I’m wrestling in front of the people I grew up with I’m picking someone I think I can beat, so what does he know that you don’t? Plus, you’re the FSW Champion, you could have told him he wasn’t worth your time and nobody would have thought otherwise, told him to work his way down the ladder and find someone who isn’t as busy, who doesn’t have a title defense at Showtime.
Xavier Reid: Yeah...but where’s the fun in that?
Nikki Dupree: Xavier…
But Tlatoani cuts her off
Tlatoani Volando: Where’s the fun in that, Jesus, Xavier this guy is looking for a one off, he’s not signed to the FSW or has anything to do with the EWC…
Xavier Reid: Yeah, but he’s a big name in the world of wrestling, ‘The Iceman’ Konrad Raab is known all over the world and a Konrad Raab v. Xavier Reid will bring eyes on the FSW and that is what I want Tlatoani, where the best in the world say to themselves ‘hey, I want to take a crack at them’ and come looking for a match because when we win it makes the FSW look that much better on the world scale.
Nikki Dupree: However Xavier, this might not be the best time to try and be the ambassador of the FSW, you have three men tonight challenging for the right to face you at FSW/Prime Showtime and not to mention your match tonight against Matt Angel, you need to be focused on the now and not worrying about tomorrow and what a match with Konrad Raab would mean on the world stage.
Xavier Reid: I know what is in front of me tonight…
As Matt Angel appears on screen we see the sudden stop of talking by Xavier Reid. As Xavier Reid looks up at Matt Angel. Matt full of confidence starts to speak.
Matt Angel: Xavier Reid I do hope that you know what is in front of you tonight. I hope you're not here to cater for the fans that love you, I hope you're just not spewing the words to favor yourself as an ambassador of FSW. I hope you are going take me serious tonight. As you have mentioned. One win for me could change my life here in FSW and I'm going to do it. I'm going to take you to your limit and show the world that I can hang with anyone. I'm changing my fortunes tonight with a win over you.
Matt walks off
MATCH 3
Xavier Reid Vs Matt Angel
After suffering a loss last week against the charismatic and oddly fun Kyle Gautier, Matt Angel starts the match off strong against the FSW Champion, Xavier Reid. The upcoming star began the match with a series of suplexs taking Xavier a little by surprise. After the third in a row, the champion popped back up looking dead into Angel’s eyes with a slight smile. He went as far as to nod his head a few times laughing telling Matt Angel “Alright, you had your fun.” That is about when the fun did end as Xavier rushed into Angel with a thunderous spear taking both men to the ring.
Xavier quickly scoops Angel up and whips him to the corner and his a running body splash on his opponent. He then sends his opponent to the opposite corner for a second, followed by a third. He looks on with a prideful smile as he goes for an early pin.
Xavier is shocked as Matt kicks out after a quick two count. The champ is now starting to loose his fun demeanor in exchange for a more serious vibe. He picks Matt up and sends him towards the ropes and on the rebound tries for a clothesline, Matt ducks bouncing back off the ropes with a full body diving clothesline of his own knocking the champ to the mat. He picks Xavier up and returns to what he began the match with, another series of suplexes, but Reid reverses out of it and hits Angel with the X-ploder, but doesn't get a lot of it. Reid goes to set up Angel with another X-ploder, but as he's running toward the corner, Angel leaps off Reid's shoulders and lands on the top turnbuckle as Reid runs into the ringpost. Matt pushes Reid over, and leaps off, hitting a Heaven Sent! The crowd counts loudly along with the ref as the 1.2.3 is counted.
Sebastian Conner Vs Criss Cassidy Vs Mark McNair
The camera cuts to Franklin Wright and Dick Shelby sitting at the announcers table
Wright: We are set for an amazing Triple Threat Match here at FSW #60 that will match three men gunning for their first FSW Championship match.
Shelby: Everyone that steps into the FSW wants to be in this spot that these three men are in tonight, a match to make themselves the #1 Contender for the FSW Championship.
Wright: And the winner of tonight’s match will face FSW Champion Xavier Reid at the FSW/Prime joint ppv Showtime, live June 25th from Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Shelby: The final night of the EWC’s European Tour.
Wright: And now without further ado let’s send it up to the ring and Deneen McQueen
DING DING DING
Deneen McQueen: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is a Triple Threat Match scheduled for one fall and the winner will be named the #1 Contender for the FSW Championship and will receive a FSW Championship Title Match as SHOWTIME!!!! Introducing first….
The music starts and at :10 when the song first says Freedom he walks out into the entrance of the ramp.
Deneen McQueen: Standing at 6' weighing in at 235 pounds. Mark McNair!
At :23 when the first Cymbals Crash and the word Freedom hits again. The red and white Pyro hit in a diagonal direction crossing. Mark slowly walks down the ramp with a slight smile on his face. He stops in the middle of the ring when at :32 the word Savage is said he raises his hands to the air in a fist then brings it down and he continues to walk down the ramp. When he gets to the end he turns to the left and he gets to the steps. After he gets to the apron he wipes his feet, climbs in and takes off the robe.
Deneen McQueen: And his opponent…
Second Coming" by Juelz Santana begins to play as smoke shoots out infront 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: Standing 6’3” and weighting in at 205 pounds ‘The Second Coming’ Criss Cassidy
He holds his arms out and makes his way down to the ring.
Deneen McQueen: And their opponent…
The house lights darken. The first powerful chords of Godsmack's Bulletproof emanate throughout the arena. Sebastian Conner's smug visage flashes across the big screens and cues the audience to erupt into loud cheers. It matters not to the man who has just stepped out onto the stage.
Deneen McQueen: Now onto his way to the ring, now making his residence in Vail, Colorado, ladies and gentlemen, what stands before you is the true future of professional wrestling, he is the King of the Hunt, SEBASTIAN CONNER!
White strobe lights briefly identify Sebastian in the darkness as he saunters down the ramp. He can be heard, taking issue with with the few members of the audience who are booing him. He gives it right back with venomous cut downs while also talking any trash to men, women, and children alike as he makes his way down to the ring. He is sporting custom made fighter's shorts and black boots to match. He has a seriousness to him as he continues his march towards the ring. The fans eat it up as he rolls in, pushing pass McQueen, and makes a beeline towards the far corner and climbs up onto the second rope. As Connor raises his arms out to the side, the house lights come back as he peers over the packed and buzzing arena crowd. He looks down on them with an arrogant yet appreciative smirk. With agility befitting of a man of his stature, he hops off turnbuckle and turns to the entrance ramp awaiting his opponent jumping and checking his wrist tape.
Wright: These three men are ready to tear each other apart...
Shelby: I would think so…
Senior Referee Jacob Waters motions for the bell
DING DING DING
Wright: And here we go…
Sebastian goes right for Criss Cassidy with a series of closed fist punches that backs The Second Coming into the corner and snaps his head back with a uppercut punch but just as he’s about to drive a knee into Cassidy Mark McNair grabs Sebastian and spins him around and locks him around the waist and sends him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex, Mark holds on and lifts Sebastian back up and drops him again with another belly to belly suplex and for the third time he holds on and is about to deliver another belly to belly but Criss Cassidy comes off the ropes with a springboard missile drop kick that takes both Sebastian and Mark off their feet…
Wright: Criss Cassidy might be the most athletic star we have here in FSW…
Shelby: But Conner is right back up…
And without missing a beat Sebastian is right back up to his feet as Criss spins up to his feet and is met with a running knee to the chest from Sebastian Conner that sends him back into the corner. Sebastian rushes in and goes for another knee but Criss drops and rolls out of the ring as Sebastian leaps and collides with the turnbuckle. Cassidy rushes up to the top rope and leaps off and nails The Christening, he hooks a leg as Jacob Waters slides in for the count…
ONE

But Mark McNair is right there to break up the pin with a kick to the back of Criss Cassidy’s head. He pulls Criss up and sends him into the ropes and plants him with a scoop slam, he hits the ropes and drops an elbow drop to the chest of Criss Cassidy and he now drops and hooks the leg, Jacob Waters drops down for the count…
ONE
.
.
But this time Sebastian Conner is there to break up the pin with a brutal punt kick to the head of Mark McNair…
Wright: What a sicking kick…
Shelby: One of these men is going to have to eliminate the third member of this match in order to score a pin…
As if he heard Dick Shelby Sebastian Conner grabs Mark McNair by the head and sends him through the ropes and crashing to the floor as he turns his attention on Criss Cassidy and pulls him up to his feet, Sebastian punched Criss in the face with a stiff right fist but Criss fires right back with a punch of his own, the crowd cheers as both men grab the back of their opponents head and fire away with right hands at one another's face, Sebastian changes it up with a stiff forearm that sends Criss bouncing off the ropes but he returns fire with a European Uppercut that sends Sebastian back to the ropes and he counters with a Superman punch that stuns Criss Cassidy, both men stunned a bit as Mark McNair rolls back into the ring and takes both men off their feet with a double running clothesline…
Wright: And Mark McNair is back in the ring...
Shelby: And has bad intentions in mind…
Mark grabs Criss and puts him on top of Sebastian and then runs towards the ropes and brings the fans to their feet with a Running Senton onto both his opponents. Mark reaches down and grabs one of Criss Cassidy’s legs and locks him into a single legged Boston Crab, he wrenches and leans back as Cassidy reaches out for the ropes as Jacob Waters checks on him, Sebastian slowly gets to his feet and sees what’s going on and leaps into action with a superkick to the face of Mark McNair causing all three men to be down for the first time in the match.
Wright: First man up might take control of this match…
Shelby: Thank you captain obvious…
All three men crawl towards the ropes as the fans come to life...each man reach the ropes and use them to pull themselves up and get to their feet, they turn and all meet in the center of the ring, Criss Cassidy connects with a spinning heel kick to Sebastian’s head but Mark kicks Cassidy in the gut and doubles him over as he turns towards McNair, Mark grabs Criss around the neck and plants him with a DDT but as he tries to sit up Sebastian shakes off the kick and connects with a kick of his own to the chest of Mark McNair and then another one and another one, Cassidy rolls behind Sebastian and rolls him up…

Xavier marches down to the ring, the FSW Championship over his shoulder, he climbs into the ring and looks at Mark McNair and then stretches out the championship belt between them, looks down at the belt and then right at Mark McNair…
Wright: It is set, Xavier Reid v. Mark McNair at Showtime, for Dick Shelby, I’m Franklin Wright we will see you at FSW #61 from Cologne, Germany
The camera cuts away from Xavier and Mark in the center of the ring.
We see Destiny Fairchild running toward the 'gorilla' position, where there's been a report of some sort of altercation involving one of the main event participants. As Destiny arrives on scene, camera in tow, we see FSW GM James Tyson standing eye to eye with Sebastian Conner, looking furious, and both men are going back and forth with each other. Suddenly, Sebastian pushes James, James pushes back, and they start butting up against each other again. James tries to calm down the situation and walk away, but Sebastian loses it, pulls James back and wallops him with a European uppercut that sends James flying into the wall, then to the ground. Sebastian storms off, as FSW #60 fades with the downed James Tyson holding his head on the ground.
