Card #20: BattleGround - San Antonio
July 10, 1999

Alamadome - Promoter Joe LeBron

San Antonio BattleGround

(Cameras fade to the entrance of a courtroom where litigations between The FWF and representatives from ESPN have just ended. As the doors burst open, we see two representatives from ESPN make a hasty exit as they fight their way through the throng of reporters and onlookers. Shortly after, the doors burst open once again and FWF Pres. Joe LeBron, FWF Exec. VP Scott Malec and VP Lord Dread emerge from the courtroom. They are immediately swamped by reporters thrusting microphones in the their faces.)

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED REPORTER: Mr. LeBron... MR. LEBRON!! Are you satisfied with the courts ruling?

LEBRON: Well, a $21,000,000 settlement won't even come close to the revenues that the FWF would have made with the remainder of our 5 year contract with ESPN, but it will definitely help in our relocation costs and other related expenses as we prepare to sign with another network.

SPORTING NEWS REPORTER: Mr. LeBron, ESPN has been quoted as stating that the financial collapse of their uplink satellite used to broadcast all FWF events, better known as Prodigy Classic, was unfortunate as well as unavoidable but that they would make amends by offering you broadcast service of equivalent quality through their sister station, ESPN2 and you out right refused. Any comments to that?

LEBRON: First off, you had better get your facts straight, ESPN did offer us broadcast capabilities with their sister station ESPN2, however, what they CONVENIENTLY neglected to mention was that the FWF was expected to pay for the transfer fee to ESPN2 among other fees such as relocation fees, contract and lawyer costs in addition to and not limited to a 25% price hike in what we are currently paying them! As I see it, no matter how unfortunate it was that the Prodigy Classic uplink failed financially, that is NOT the fault in any way of the FWF and we shouldn't be expected to lay out not even an extra dime to transfer to ESPN2.

INSIDE WRESTLING REPORTER: So then, now that you have won your $21,000,000 law suit against them, what will be the FWF's next move?

LEBRON: We are already in contract negotiations with another service provider and pending any unforeseen problems, we expect, after the presentation of ALAMODOME tonight, to be fully operational again no later than this coming Monday, July 12th!

PWI REPORTER: That's less than a week away!! Are you always in the habit of closing multi-million dollar deals DURING the process of la law suit?

LEBRON: We at the Frontier, how can I say this, (smiles), well, lets just say that we at the FWF like to DARE THE UNKNOWN!!

WRESTLING REVIEW REPORTER: What of the rumors of possible blackouts during the ALAMODOME presentation? It has been rumored that ESPN may "all of a sudden" experience some technical difficulties during this last ESPN broadcast of the FWF's Alamodome?

LEBRON: Well, I'm not naive, I fully expect ESPN to experience "technical difficulties" during our last broadcast with them, but because the FCC will not allow us to breach our current contract with ESPN, which incidentally ends on July 11th at 11:59 PM, there is really nothing I can do about that other than sue their (BLEEP) again!

OFF THE ROPES REPORTER: So are you inferring that ESPN will intentionally and as a result of today's outcome, vindictively get back at the FWF by blacking out parts or all of your broadcast tonight??

LEBRON: I am inferring nothing! I am outright saying that the minute they DO try and black us out tonight, they can expect to find themselves in court again. Now if you'll excuse us, we have a plane to catch......

(The reporters continue to hurl questions at LeBron, Malec and Dread but they all go unheard as the three FWF officials enter their limo and speed away...... Cameras fade out to static ........)

(Cameras fade slowly back to focus and then slowly return to a small room where we see the Triple Threat Team of Tony Ross, Victor Alvaraz and with more than just a few bandages on his face, and a neck brace, Jake shades.....)

TONY ROSS: Well that was earlier today, just a few hours ago actually, and FWF Pres. Joe LeBron was right on the money with his prediction of ALAMODOME being blacked out by ESPN. At least, the majority of the card was and so instead of doing our regular broadcast DURING the show, we'll be doing a RECAP tonight, showing what little footage we were able to salvage to try and give you the most complete picture we possibly can of the events at ALAMODOME last night.

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Well if you really want to know what happend in the License versus License match, just look at Jake Shades face!!! (Laughter is heard)

JAKE SHADES: (picking at one of the many bandages on his face) (BLEEP) YOU ALVAREZ!!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: In any event, the first match that evening, scheduled to be between newcomers "DOC" Sam Cooperman and "The Immortal" Sky was cancelled. From what my sources tell me, "DOC" Sam Cooperman failed a routine physical exam and was not given medical clearance to wrestle and "The Immortal" Sky decided to retire from the sport of professional wrestling all together. We here at the FWF wish the Immortal Sky only the best in his retirement as he was, in his time, a major force in the wrestling industry.

JAKE SHADES: Oh yeah? If he's so immortal then WHY is he retiring? HAHAHAAAAA!!

TONY ROSS: That was in poor taste Jake.

JAKE SHADES: Actually, I kinda like the taste it left in my mouth....

TONY ROSS: It's too bad you couldn't have wound up with a bandage around your MOUTH.... A BIG ONE!! The following match that evening was a see-saw battle from beginning to end. It involved a newcomer by the name of The Jobber and his opponent Stonewolf!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Tony, that match surprised a lot of people. Virtually no one thought that The Jobber would do as well as he did!

JAKE SHADES What are you talking about?? Old WOLFMAN clearly dominated the match!!?

TONY ROSS: Jake, I think that beating you took last night must have scrambled your brains more than they already were! Let's take a look at some video footage that got past the ESPN Blackout.

(Cameras zoom away from the Ross, Alvarez and Shades and focuses on a huge monitor behind them......

(The video footage of the Jobber/StoneWolf match begins some where in the middle of the match which clearly shows StoneWolf in charge as he is pummeling Jobber with repeated lefts to the forehead! Jobber swings and misses with a left of his own and StoneWolf connects with another left! Jobber staggers back some and almost falls through the ropes. StoneWolf moves in on Jobber but the Jobber, in an act of desperation jabs StoneWolf with at thumb to the eyes, temporarily blinding him. Jobber then takes full advantage with a few kicks to the groin. Jobber then attempts to suplex StoneWolf, but StoneWolf somehow manages to flip himself over and behind the Jobber, trapping him in his finisher, The Black Mountain Splash! After the reverse DDT, StoneWolf went for the cover ..... 1... 2 .... StoneWolf gets off of the prone Jobber, raising his hands in victory, but slowly drops them as the referree informs him that the time limit ran out before he could get the three count! StoneWolf looks at the prone Jobber, still lying, semi conscious on the mat, then at the referree, who wisely takes a few steps back. StoneWolf then simply shakes his head and exits the ring as Paul Kramer is heard in the background calling the match a TIME LIMIT DRAW!)

JAKE SHADES: YA SEE!! Exactly what I said. WOLF BOY DOMINATED THE JOBBER!!

TONY ROSS: Why Jake, did they hit you so hard in your match that you are now defending fan favorites?

JAKE SHADES: I'm NOT defending that HALF BREED!! I'm doing like I ALWAYS do.... stating it like it IS!! Which is more than I can say about YOU TWO CLOWNS!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Well, I'll remember that when we get to YOUR match Shades.

JAKE SHADES: BITE ME!

TONY ROSS: Now if you want to talk about total domination, the next match was a classic example of that. It involved a 3 way dance between newcomers Hacker, Whitesnake and Archangel!

JAKE SHADES: HA! That was no match... that was a MASSACRE!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: I hate to admit it, but Shades is absolutely right about that and ironically, this match was MERCIFULLY blacked out. Even talking about the events of that match would be too graphic so I'll just tell you the results.....

JAKE SHADES: Oh stop being a LITTLE BITCH!!! Be a MAN for once in your life. In fact... LATER FOR YOU! I'll tell the people what happened in that match!! First off, this match had it ALL and in RECORD TIME I might add as Archangel, smartly I might add, sat back and allowed Hacker and Whitesnake to begin slugging it out in the middle of the ring.... he calmly walks up behind the two DOLTS and KONKS both their heads together!! While Hacker was down he pulled Whitesnake to his feet, straddled the second rope and executed a piledriver off the second rope RIGHT ON TOP OF HACKER'S HEAD!! He then casually layed down across both of them with his arms crossed behind his head and legs crossed as if he were laying on a sofa or bed while the referee counted to THREE!!! After the pin... he noticed that they were bleeding and his eyes lit up!! He actually knelt over them and started lapping up their blood!! He then took the palms of his hands and began rubbing their blood all over his body. Hell, they had to call security in just so the medics could take Hacker and Whitesnake out on stretchers! IT WAS GREAT!!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Only SCUM like YOU could revel in some one else's pain! Why couldn't you just say that Archangel defeated Whitesnake and Hacker in under two minutes and leave it at that?

JAKE SHADES: Because VICTORIA, people paid GOOD money to see this fight and since they couldn't see it thanks to those BASTARDS at ESPN, they should at least have the pleasure of HEARING the details!

TONY ROSS: And since when do you care so much about the fans?

JAKE SHADES: I don't, the fans could KISS MY ASS!! I'm just telling it like it is!! 'Nuff said!

TONY ROSS: 'Nuff said? HA! I'll believe it when I DON'T hear you anymore! The next match was yet another match involving another newcomer to the FWF. It pitted newcomer Alister Hayze against Kindred member, Isz. This match, much like the previous one, while not as brutal, was certainly just as brief as Hayze made short work of Isz by landing a vicious neck breaker on the outside of the ring which left Isz screaming in pain. Hayze then rolled Isz into the ring and made ISZ submit with his SWINGING NECK BREAKER!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: I never thought I would see the day when a member of the Kindred would lose a match by submission but I suppose you reap what you sow.

JAKE SHADES: REAP WHAT YOU SOW?? WHAT THE (BLEEP) IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? HAYZE GOT LUCKY AGAINST ISZ THAT'S ALL!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: You should know what I mean, I mean, YOU yourself reaped what you sowed last nite! (grinning)

JAKE SHADES: Oh yeah? You keep on with those cracks and I'm gonna REAP YER ASS HERE AND NOW!!! OWWWW!!! (begins to grasp at the neck brace.)

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Careful Shades, remember what the doctor told you, you can't be getting all riled up, losing your temper when you suffer a concussion!

TONY ROSS: Well, it was bad enough that Hayze totally dominated Isz the way he did but then to just pull up a chair and place it OVER Isz's prone body and sit on it while he called for the mic was adding insult to injury. I think we managed to get some footage of that.

("One Vision" by Queen is heard as the huge monitor behind Ross, Alvarez and Shades once again comes alive. The crowd pops as the lights start to change from red to purple, back and forth. A spotlight hits the center of the ring where Alister Hayze sits in a chair over the prone Isz with a mic in his hand)

Hayze: Alright, alright, settle down...I know it's exciting to have me in your town, but there's more to come. You have those real exciting main events coming up, ya know. But seriously, I need some time to spill my guts, guys. For the past few weeks, you've seen vintage Hayze material. I come out here, prance around like Shawn Michaels, display my full range of wrestling manuevers. I got my ass kicked, I kicked some ass...bottom line, you've seen the carefree daredevil mess around as if nothing was buggin' him. Well, surprise, surprise--something IS buggin' me. Ya see, I haven't been in just a whole lot of organizations. But, wherever I've gone, the people are in control. The wrestlers are in control of themselves, the suits are in control of the company. Here, however, the entire league lets itself be cowed by the NEH/UA and Nevada Smith. Give me a break! These guys are pushovers at best! And yet you guys, Matthews, Kale, even the friggin' suits, all of you! You guys let these guys scare you into the shadows. I've never ever seen anything so pathetic. Now, I know all you guys back there are saying, "Yeah, right, what does this punkass kid know?" I know a lot pal. You guys went all elitist on me when I showed up. I don't fit in, right? Well, I fit in well enough to see the problem, and it's the NEH. And I'm just gonna offer you guys a piece of advice--don't let them win! If you guys would think for awhile and just say, "Screw them" and attack them un masse...crap, they couldn't win! Instead, you stupid freaks walk around like there's nothing wrong. I realize this is a different yard, but I'm used to being top dog. I'm issuing a challenge to these NEH guys. Any one of you, in the ring, anytime. And as to the rest of you wrestlers back there, if you aren't part of the solution...you're part of the problem. So get a clue and take 'em on. And JC...I'm waiting.

("One Vision" starts up again as Hayze exits.... the monitor goes black and then the cameras zoom back to Ross, Alvarez and Shades.....)

JAKE SHADES: That ARROGANT (BLEEP)!! He gets LUCKY with ISZ and he thinks he can take on JC and the NEH? He's more delusional than YOU Victoria!

TONY ROSS: Well delusional, or lucky, Hayze DID get an impressive win over Kindred member Isz and somehow I think he'll be able to back up his bravado.

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Tony, that wasn't the ONLY explosive mic spot that evening, before the next match could get underway, we had an interruption of sorts... well, we managed to get this on video tape so why don't we just take a look at last night's interruption on the monitor.

JAKE SHADES: Hell yes!! Anything NOT to hear your talk nonsense!

(The monitor behind them comes alive and begins displaying footage of last night's events.......)

PAUL KRAMER: Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that tonight there is an icon of wrestling in the building and will make an appearence momentarily.

(the lights begin to dim and what appears to be druids wearing neon green robes bring a coffin to the ring. Lights go off and then back on the casket opens and in the ring stands the IKON Abel Wicks with a microphone in hand.)

WICKS: Ladies...gentlemen....wickheads far and wide. Your hero, fantasy lover,and IKON has returned to the industry. Now many of you were worried about the Wicker and his absence. Let the Wicker tell you he's doing fine and is more of an IKON than ever. The Wicker also wants to state that in the last organization he graced..they unjustly jobbed him left and right to the dismay of Wickheads around the world. Due to political BS, little children were cutting their wrists in tears at the sight of their beloved savior jobbing. But no more....the Wickster has returned with new vision..new purpose... no more mere jobbing for this IKON...a SuperWick here....a Wickbomb there.....apply the Wicks of Saturn and another victim ....the Wicker knows the FWF wants a superstar..and they've received the greatest one of all. A role model.....a worker....a personality...a lunatic....sometimes a cannibal....but most of all..hell I shudder to say...IKON....and thus the Wicks World title Push version 2 begins in FWF...no baggage..no BS....just the IKON..his Wickheads and the greatest show in the world!!

(Suddenly the lights go out and when they come back on, the ring is empty! No Coffin, no Abel Wicks!! The monitor goes black and the cameras zoom back to the Alvarez, Ross and Shades.....)

JAKE SHADES: Hey, I've heard of that guy, he's no PCS but I like his style!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: If he's ANYTHING like the stories I'VE heard about him, then the FWF has just landed one of the TOUGHEST competitors to ever grace the squared the circle.

TONY ROSS: Well, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough what the self proclaimed IKON is capable of, but right now I'd like to talk about the NEXT match, YOUR match Jake!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: (snickering)

JAKE SHADES: (gives Ross a dirty look) Isn't it time for a commercial break or something?

TONY ROSS: This is a special presentation by the FWF, there ARE no commercials here. Just luck for you that your match was one of the many blacked out. In any event, you should of seen the look of surprise and yes, even horror on your face when you saw who Danny Diaper chose as his partner.

JAKE SHADES: HEY!! That wasn't horror!! I was just passing gas and burping at the same time!

TONY ROSS: Whatever, anyway....

VICTOR ALVAREZ: NO WAIT TONY!! Let ME tell this one!

TONY ROSS: (gives Shades a grin and ....) Go ahead, be my guest!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Okay.... the look of absolute HORROR on your face was SOOOOO funny when you saw that Diaper's partner was none other than your FAVORITE FWF OFFICIAL... VP SCOTT MALEC!!

JAKE SHADES: I was set up I tell you! Malec set this up from the beginning just to get back at me for all the times I KICKED HIS ASS!!

TONY ROSS: Well, EVEN if that were true, he DID get back at you, MAN DID HE EVER!!! He didn't even need Diaper as he just tossed the two of you around like pillows!! Though I'm sure every time he hit you it felt like a hammer!! HAHAAA!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Now THAT match was one of total domination! Scott Malec was beating YOU and JC like a broken drum!!

JAKE SHADES: Yeah, well, we only LET him do that to us because he said if we didn't he would FIRE us!

TONY ROSS: I sincerely doubt that he EVER said anything of the kind!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Anyway..... I think the FUNNIEST and most HUMILIATING point of the match for you and JC was when you tried to run away from Malec and he grabbed you by the tights and they came down around your ankles!! HAAHAHAHAHA!!! You SURE were a PITIFUL site standing in the middle of the ring with your tights down to your ankles!!

JAKE SHADES: Yeah, well your WIFE doesn't think so!!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: In fact, isn't that how you got your concussion? When you bent over to pull up your tights, Malec kicked you SO hard in ASS that you FLEW through the ropes and landed straight on your head on the concrete floor! OH MAN!! THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

JAKE SHADES: I fail to see what was so funny about that, I could have been seriously injured by the MANIAC!!

TONY ROSS: I doubt anything could hurt that dome of yours Shades!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Then when Scott Malec chased you and JC around the ring and the both of you crashed right into each other... MAN that was CLASSIC!!!

JAKE SHADES: It was all part of our master plan....

TONY ROSS: Master plan? To do what? Make him submit from the pain of laughing too hard?

JAKE SHADES: Well okay, you had your fun, now go on and continue telling what happened, like the END of the match to be precise!!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: You have no shame do you!? It doesn't matter to you that the ONLY reason you and JC won that match was because of outside interference!?

JAKE SHADES: Not just ANY outside interference.... JC's NEWEST NEH RECRUIT..... NEVADA SMITH!!! Ya go ahead and tell 'em how Nevada came in and LEVELED Malec with that chair!!

TONY ROSS: Why should I, you already did! You're just lucky that the you managed to distract the ref with all your yelling screaming and running around while Nevada did that. Why he would EVER help you and JC out is beyond me! Let alone join the NEH!

JAKE SHADES: All part of the MASTER plan Tony my man! Nevada KNEW where the REAL power lies and he wants a piece of it!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Well, by some FLUKE and with the help from that traitor Nevada, you managed to get the win over Malec and Diaper and JC kept his license. I guess Diaper is out of a job now and Malec, well, knowing him the way I do, this won't be the last of this!

JAKE SHADES: Look Malec got his ass KICKED by me and the NEH, just like the way the NEH took care of those two corporate buffoons MaelBUM and the Kicago Klown!!!

TONY ROSS: How could you stand there and honestly try to degrade two great athletes like Maelstrom and King Krusher? These guys are LEGENDS!

JAKE SHADES: Yeah, legendary FOOLS! Hell, just look how the NEH managed to SO EASILY trick them into fighting THEMSELVES instead of us! What a bunch of suckers!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: You know Jake, even though the NEH DID manage to trick them into fighting each other, I for one am glad they did! Hell, that was one of the greatest fights I had EVER seen!

TONY ROSS: It certainly was! These two guys have it all, SIZE, STRENGTH, WRESTLING ABILITY and they went all out!! That match just kept going back and forth and it probably would have outlasted their famous parking lot brawl at Chicago's UC Center where KK recaptured the NFWA title from Maelstrom, were it not for the NEH once again.

VICTOR ALVAREZ: That's right Tony, and it's a shame too, cause now we'll never get to know if Maelstrom would have gotten up after KK planted him with his finisher, the "Slingshot Brainbuster" because that's when the NEH came and interferred by attacking them both! Those damn cowards!

JAKE SHADES: Cowards? Nah, they're just plain smart!! Divide and Conquer!! Let them kill each other THEN and only THEN attack!!

TONY ROSS: Divide and conquer is right, only it was Maelstrom and King Krusher that divided and conquered as they cleaned house against the NEH and TOGETHER drove them away! The match was declared a no contest, but looking into their eyes, even though it's quite obvious they despise each other, there was no mistaking the RESPECT they had for each other as they merely glared at each other in the middle of the ring, backed away from each other and went their separate ways!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Yes Tony, that was truly a magnificent moment as we saw two of the wrestling industry's biggest legends first square off against each other and then unite to fight off a common foe! Simply inspiring.

JAKE SHADES: Give me a break will ya! Don't you have another match to talk about now?

TONY ROSS: Well, the Tag Team Titles were SUPPOSED to be on the line but it what we ended up witnessing was the EASIEST title defense in the history of the sport as the CAT PACK successfully defended their titles by virtue of a default win. A few days before the match, Middle Aged and Crazy went berserk on a camera crew, seriously injuring the cameraman as well as a few innocent bystanders. They were arrested that same day and are currently awaiting trial on charges of assault and reckless endangerment. So naturally, they were unable to attend their match against the CAT PACK and lost by default. I understand that if convicted, they both face a possible FIVE years in prison.

JAKE SHADES: I always knew that CAMERA SHY LUNATIC would eventually hurt someone! He got what he deserved.

VICTOR ALVAREZ: You're all heart as usual Jake.

JAKE SHADES: Yep.... heart of stone.

TONY ROSS: Well, the next match was to see who would be crowned the next Frontier Champion as a result of Jean Rabesque being forced to surrender the title due to injuries sustained in his fight against then National Champion PCS.

JAKE SHADES: Now THERE was a champion!! PCS!!

TONY ROSS: Yes he certainly was, until Billy Matthews finally released that chokehold he had on the title and captured it himself, but that's another story.

JAKE SHADES: So WHY bring it up then?

TONY ROSS: Would you be quiet! Anyhow, it was originally booked as a four way dance for the belt between Goldwire, Big Rodge, Wayne Robertson and Jared Wells. Then Goldwire, for some unknown reason pulled himself out of the match.

JAKE SHADES: Proof of just how much of a COWARD he is!

TONY ROSS: I sincerely doubt that, though it does make you wonder why ANYONE would pass up such an opportunity.

TONY ROSS: Anyhow, now it was down to three. That would soon change as Big Rodge had to suddenly pull out because he injured his knee and had to have surgery immediately. So by the time the match started it was down to just Wayne Roberts against Jared Wells and let me tell you that was one HELL of a match!!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: It certainly was Tony! It was a seesaw battle of unbelievable proportions!

JAKE SHADES: Actually, I found that match kinda boring!

TONY ROSS: Most unconscious people would! Jared Wells took an early advantage but quickly found himself on the defensive as Roberts simply REFUSED to stay pinned! On more than 3 occasions Jared Wells nearly scored the victory with near 3 counts but Roberts was not to be denied as he continually battled back time and time again.

VICTOR ALVAREZ: That was the most determined I had EVER seen Roberts since returning to the FWF!

JAKE SHADES: Yeah, yeah, go on already.....

TONY ROSS: This match was as tough as they come and it ultimately came down to WHO would make the mistake first! Near the 25 minute mark, it appeared that Wells had Roberts just where he wanted him as he began to set up Roberts on the top turnbuckle, no doubt setting him up for his finisher, the RAGE BOMB, but he didn't count on Robert's resilience as Roberts began to battle back as they BOTH fought while straddling the turnbuckle. It was Roberts however who managed to stun Wells with a head butt at which point he quickly took advantage and hooked Wells in HIS finisher, the double arm DDT from the top rope! That was all he needed as he simply lay exhausted on top of Wells as the ref made the three count, making Wayne Roberts the winner and only the 3RD ever Frontier champion!

JAKE SHADES: No matter, he's STILL a loser and it's only a matter of time until someone like maybe Abel Wicks comes and beats him senseless for it!

TONY ROSS: Well that remains to be seen. The final match of the evening was for the National Title as the Champion Billy Matthews took on the #1 Contender Nevada Smith!

JAKE SHADES: HEY!! That's MR. NEH, Nevada Smith now!

VICTOR ALVAREZ: Unfortunately, you may be right about that. This match was a long drawn out battle that passed the ONE-HOUR mark! It was Nevada's brutality against Matthews speed and cunning. For the most part it was faced paced throughout with neither man gaining an advantage for too long a period. Let's go to the monitor and watch some of the footage......

(Cameras zoom to the huge monitor behind them and picks up the action about 45 minutes into the match.......)

(As the cameras begin to focus on the monitor we begin to hear the crowd cheering at the top of their lungs as Matthews has Nevada down on the mat with a knee to the small of Nevada's back while he pulls his arms backwards. The ref is asking Nevada if he gives and Nevada yells out in pain but nods his head no! Matthews, seeming to sense that attempting to make Nevada submit will be futile quickly changes strategy and pulls Nevada to his feet and sends him to the turnbuckle HARD!! Nevada hits the turn buckle and slumps down to the mat. Matthews approaches and pulls Nevada back up..... he sends Nevada to the opposite corner but Nevada puts on the brakes, turns and lunges with a clotheline that took Matthews totally off guard and sends them both to the mat! The image on the monitor is suddenly frozen as Tony Ross presses the freeze frame button.....)

TONY ROSS: This I believe was a CRITICAL point for BOTH wrestlers. As you'll notice, they're both beginning to show signs of fatigue and having fought nearly an hour at this point, it will all boil down to WHO wants it the most!!

JAKE SHADES: Yeah, yeah, now unfreeze it so we can see the damn fight! I mean DAMN, we only got footage of 2 out of 9 matches and you want to freeze it so you can analize it?? GIVE ME A (BLEEP) BREAK AND UNFREEZE IT!!

TONY ROSS: (glaring at Jake) Careful now Jake, you don't want to aggravate that CONCUSSION Malec gave you! (clicks the unfreeze button)

(The image unfreezes and we begin to see both wrestlers start struggling to their feet, Matthews is up first with Nevada close behind..... Matthews swings with a wild left hook, Nevada ducks.... ATOMIC DROP BY NEVADA SENDS MATTHEWS reeling in pain to the mat!! Nevada, still not having fully recovered is slow to act as he almost collapses on the ropes and nearly falls through them! Mean while Matthews has gotten to his feet and he charges Nevada and they BOTH GO TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE!! They both hit the concrete floor with a big flesh smacking thud and just lay there momentarily. The referee, not wanting to end the match in a double DQ begins to count with a very slow cadence. By the time he reaches ten, Matthews is on his feet and is trying to crawl back into the ring. Nevada gets to his feet and grabs Matthews by one of his legs and tries to pull him back out but Matthews turns and kicks Nevada in the face with his free leg, sending Nevada to tumbling against the guard rail! Matthews manages to make it into the ring to break the count and goes back outside to get at Nevada! Nevada, still hanging on to the guard rail waits for Matthews to get closer and then kicks Matthews in the shin and then follows it up with a European uppercut that sends Matthews to the ground! Nevada then pulls Matthews to his feet and sends him flying into the steel stair case!! He then grabs a chair and places the end of it in Matthews throat and begins choking him! Nevada finally releases the chokehold and pulls Matthews to his feet and rolls him back into the ring and follows right after.)

VICTOR ALVAREZ: At this point, they have now been fighting for nearly 1 HOUR and 20 MINUTES!!! What endurance, what stamina... what.... (interrupted)

JAKE SHADES: Would you shut up so I can watch the match?!?

TONY ROSS: Look, VP Scott Malec just entered the studio!

JAKE SHADES: WHAT?!?! (whirling about and injuring his neck) OOOWWWWW!!!! OH MY (BLEEP) NECK!!!

TONY ROSS: Oh, my mistake, that's just one of the techs, it LOOKED like Malec though.... (grins)

JAKE SHADES: OWWW!! I'll get you for this Ross, you'll see!

TONY ROSS: I'm sure I will, until then however, if you have nothing constructive to say then I suggest you just shut up and listen!

(Cameras focus back on the monitor as Nevada is setting Matthews up for what appears to be a reverse neck breaker.... but NO!! Matthews hooks Nevadas arms and lunges forward for the pin... ONE.... TWO... THREE! NO!!! Nevada JUST kicked out in time!! Nevada pulls Matthews back up... SMALL PACKAGE by Matthews!! ONE.... TWO.... THR... NO!!! kickout by Nevada!!! Nevada quickly to his feet... he charges Matthews... Matthews with a kick to the belly doubles Nevada over.... REVERSE DDT BY MATTHEWS!!! Nevada is laid out in the center of the ring... he's not moving!! Matthews slowly makes his way to the corner.... he starts to climb to the top and ALMOST falls off!! He steadies himself...... he leaps.... SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! NEVADA LIFTS HIS KNEES!!! MATTHEWS CRASHES ONTO NEVADA'S KNEES AND BOUNCES OFF AND LANDS ON THE MAT!! NEVADA TRIES TO GET TO HIS FEET BUT FALL DOWN NEXT TO MATTHEWS!! HE HAS HIS ARM DRAPED OVER MATTHEWS CHEST!! THE REF IS COUNTING.... ONE... TWO.... THREE!!!! WE HAVE A NEW NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!! NEVADA SMITH HAS DEFEATED BILLY MATTHEWS FOR THE NATIONAL TITLE IN WHAT WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST MATCHES IN FWF HISTORY!!! The Monitor suddenly goes black as the cameras focus back on Ross, Shades and Alvarez.....)

VICTOR ALVAREZ: That was an INCREDIBLE display from BOTH wrestlers!! Matthews has absolutely no reason to hang his head.....

JAKE SHADES: Of COURSE he does!!! HE LOST DIDN'T HE?!?

TONY ROSS: Matthews despite the loss, was and is STILL a GREAT competitor and I'm sure that it won't be long before he has gold around his waist again.

JAKE SHADES: If not he could always settle for a necklace, bracelet or even an anklet! (smirking)

TONY ROSS: You never let up do you?? Anyhow, on behalf of the FWF, we once again apologize for the inconvenience of ESPN's blackout of ALAMODOME, and we would also like to thank you, the viewers, who have helped to make the FWF the NUMBER ONE wrestling promotion on Prodigy! After ONE YEAR and 20 cards promoted, it's now time for the FWF to move on! The FWF would also like to thank the viewers of the Prodigy Classic site and invite all to continue with the FWF tradition as we travel to our new home on FW Central! For now, this is Tony Ross, with Victor Alvarez, and a BADLY BEATEN Jake Shades, saying thank you and goodnight!

(FADE OUT to credits as they roll on endlessly until they finally end with the address of the FWF's new location on FW Central: //fantasywrestling.com/cgi-local/fw/fw.cgi Fade out as the Frontier CONTINUES to DARE THE UNKNOWN!!)
