FPR Bloodlines 2010
June 19, 2010
Theme Song: AFI - "Medicate"
PRESTORY: An open invitation battle royal was signed for Bloodlines. Jushin Liger had been frustrated at his inability to climb the ranks in the heavyweight division so he entered to prove a point. Bison Smith looked to recapture his former dominance. Several other stars hope to make a name for themselves in Drew McIntyre and The Miz. Go Shiozaki and Bryan Danielson felt they needed a big win. And the last two spots were taken by Rob Van Dam and Eddie Edwards, who upon hearing of the others' intentions both wanted in to get a piece of each other once more.

PRESTORY: With the second annual Summer Spectacular tag team tournament coming up in a few weeks, a tag team gauntlet match was signed as sort of a preview to the tournament. The tag gauntlet is the first of it's kind and featured five teams competing to determine the best!

Windham & Rhodes have gained huge momentum going into the upcoming tournament where the winners will face tag team champions, LAX, at The Great American Bash!
PRESTORY: A couple weeks ago at a live event, Kane and Raven met one on one. A match stemming from a three way bout at WrestleMania that Raven won. Raven defeated Kane two weeks ago and because of that Kane demanded a rematch!

AFTERSTORY: Kane got his win back in dominant fashion, bringout the Tombstone for a decisive victory!
PRESTORY: Last month at Redemption, Victoria and Angelina Love teamed up for the first time in a two on two tag team match to take on The Beautiful People members, Maryse and Madison Rayne. That match ended when Angelina took Maryse up to the top rope, but Maryse surprised her with a counter, delivering an impressive sudden sunset flip that caught Angelina and likely Victoria as well by surprise. Maryse used the move to pin Angelina's shoulders to the mat while Victoria failed to enter the ring for the save, not expecting the loss. Angelina was irate following the match and stormed off to the back quickly. Two weeks ago, the two teams met in a rematch. This time the match went twice the length of the original encounter, passing the 30 minute mark. The ending to the rematch saw Victoria take Maryse up top and again Maryse pulled off a sunset flip, and once again secured the pinfall! Angelina and Victoria argued after the match and tension was rising between the two as they suffered their second consecutive loss. Madison and Maryse went on to proclaim to be the greatest womens' tag team around while Angelina and Victoria decided they would meet each other in the ring one on one like they had in the past. Angelina and Victoria both blamed the other for their losses and would take out their frustrations in the ring.
Victoria def. Angelina Love (11:23) after the Widow's Peak
AFTERSTORY: Victoria got the victory again as she did in their last singles encounter. Angelina fell victim to the Widow's Peak. Afterwards, Victoria tossed Angelina from the ring and walked off to the back. It remains to be seen if the last word has been spoken in this rivalry.
PRESTORY: Bob Sapp and Mark Henry have been feuding over the Octagon Championship for months now. Henry pulled off the upset when he won the title from Sapp at WrestleMania but Sapp inevitably regained it last month at Redemption. Here at Bloodlines, would now be Henry's rematch!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Mark Henry via 1st Round KO (4:50) after the Beast Bomb to RETAIN the championship
AFTERSTORY: Sapp goes 2 for 3 in the fights against Henry and looks to be back on top of the division once again.
PRESTORY: Chris Jericho has been irate ever since Stone Cold Steve Austin won the King of the Ring tournament. Last month Jericho promised to defeat Austin and came very close to doing so. Jericho dominated the match but was caught with the Stunner out of nowhere that CRITICAL'd him. Jericho has been out of action since, and because of that he sent Spoiler 2000 to take on Austin at Bloodlines, hoping to put him out of action.
Steve Austin def. Spoiler 2000 (13:21) with the thesz press
AFTERSTORY: Austin is victorious again as his huge streak continues! Spoiler came close but it wasn't enough. After the match had ended, Jericho removed his neckbrace and attacked Austin from behind. Jericho has since hinted that he will be challenging Austin to another match next month at the Great American Bash.
PRESTORY: Ever since WrestleMania, the Faithful has tried to take down Goldberg. They believed that Goldberg stole the showcase battle royal win from Mike Foxx. Last month, Goldberg defeated Foxx to prove it was no fluke and this month, Hardcore Holly stepped up to challenge him.
Bill Goldberg def. Hardcore Holly (11:16) via submission with a half boston crab
AFTERSTORY: Goldberg took down Holly, forcing him to tap out. Goldberg posed the question following the match, Who's Next?
PRESTORY: With tag team champions, LAX off celebrating their Real World Tag League win, the top two contenders in the tag team division were set to go one on one. The Briscoes who have been feuding with LAX for nearly a year and the Doom Thug Empire who made it all the way to the finals of the Tag League last month.

AFTERSTORY: The Doom Thugs pick up another huge victory! They are on the biggest role of their careers and have gained major momentum heading into the upcoming tag team tournament where a #1 contender will officially be crowned. The Briscoes suffered a major loss here and could be in a slump heading into the aforementioned tournament which they won last year.
PRESTORY: Brian Pillman has been seemingly unstoppable since winning the FPR Junior Championship from Frankie Kazarian at WrestleMania. Prior to that, Pillman tore through the competition and won the Super J Cup tournament. Earlier this month, Rey Mysterio defeated AJ Styles at an FPR weekly Show to determine the #1 contender. Mysterio received his shot at Bloodlines.
Junior Championship Match: Brian Pillman def. Rey Mysterio (14:31) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Pillman managed to hang on to the title again, albeit through a very competitive battle with Mysterio. After the match was over, AJ Styles attacked Mysterio from behind, obviously unhappy with his loss two weeks ago. AJ pummeled Rey and beat him down until being forced off by officials. Pillman walked away with the gold, having to wonder who will be his next challenger.
PRESTORY: As documented before, Madison Rayne and Maryse of The Beautiful People have boasted about their recent victories over Angelina Love & Victoria, calling themselves the greatest women's tag team of all time. Both those wins were indeed very impressive with Maryse using a sunset flip on first Angelina and then Victoria in their two encounters. After their last win, they proclaimed that they wanted a bigger challenge and that call was answered by the forces of Candice Michelle & Ayako Hamada joining together!
Candice Michelle & Ayako Hamada def. Madison Rayne & Maryse (24:35) when Hamada pinned Madison with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY: Candice & Hamada defeated The Beautiful People! But it did have it's share of controversy as Maryse entered the ring and seemingly delivered a kick to break up the pin attempt but the fall was still counted. Madison & Maryse were clearly set off by the loss and refused to accept it. They yelled at the referee and anyone who would listen that they were cheated and were not truly defeated!
PRESTORY: The Big Show has been as dominant as ever since winning the International Championship last October from Mark Henry. Last month, Big Show had no decided #1 contender, so he hand-picked his opponent and defeated Maven to retain the title. After that match, Jakob Furis came to ringside and let his intentions be known that he would be challenging Show for the championship at Bloodlines!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Jakob Furis (7:05) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Furis put up a fight but Big Show was just too much and was able to end the match quickly and decisively. Show retains his title again and as he raised up the gold following his win, he turned around and was met by a spear from Bill Goldberg! It looks like if Goldberg has decided just who is 'next' !
PRESTORY: The feud between Generation sXe and Hogan, Bret, & Triple H has been growing each month. Aries gained two victories over Bret Hart. Triple H defeated Shawn Michaels last month after the end of DX at WrestleMania while Hogan and Punk have traded the Worlds Heavyweight Championship back and forth. Two weeks ago, Triple H defeated Austin Aries in a classic TV main event. For Bloodlines, Bret & The Game teamed up to take on Michaels & Aries

AFTERSTORY: A big victory for Bret & HHH and a big loss for Generation sXe! Bret took immense satisfaction in the victory as he forced Shawn to submit to the sharpshooter!
PRESTORY: A couple months ago, Mick Foley invited anyone and everyone to try and take the FPR Hardcore Deathmatch title from him. Last month, Tiger Jeet Singh accepted and took Foley to the limit in the deathmatch but Foley won the hard fought battle. As soon as it ended though, Mr. Pogo arrived and assaulted Foley with weapons. Pogo would be the next to challenge Foley for his belt.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Mr. Pogo (13:30) after a tackle to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Foley survived Pogo and this time he was able to escape the ring quickly. Foley continues his lengthy run as champion as he awaits who will step into the hardcore deathmatch next.
PRESTORY: Last month, Jessica James defeated Claudia at Redemption, avenging her previous WrestleMania loss to the Angel of Mercy. That win made them 1-1 and a few weeks ago, Jessica and Claudia signed to meet in a 2/3 falls match to determine the new #1 contender to the FPR Women's Championship held by Alissa Flash. Jessica pulled off the major win when she defeated the former women's champion and gained contendership. Afterwards she had a staredown with the champion as she had just defeated Alissa's often-times partner, Claudia.
Women's Championship Match: Jessica James def. Alissa Flash (14:37) after a spin kick to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: New champion! Jessica has pulled off the biggest win of her FPR career by shocking Alissa Flash and taking the championship for the very first time! Alissa's reign has been unexpectedly cut short and there's no doubt she will be demanding a rematch. The crowd in attendance gave a huge ovation for the new champion as Jessica has continued to impress everyone in FPR.
PRESTORY: CM Punk and his stable have been rivaling Hulk Hogan for months now. Starting when CM Punk won the Royal Battle and escalating when Punk won the World Championship from Hogan at WrestleMania, with the help of Austin Aries & Shawn Michaels. The following month, Hogan would team up with Bret Hart & Triple H for a six man tag team victory at Breakout and at Redemption, Hogan got just that, Redemption. Hogan pinned Punk and won back the gold. Punk promised it wouldn't happen twice when he challenged Hogan to a rematch at Bloodlines, this time in a Last Man Standing match!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing Match: Hulk Hogan def. CM Punk (14:27) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Hogan triumphs over Punk! Hogan retained the gold in a hard fought competitive battle but in the end Punk was down and out for the 10 count. Hogan grabbed the gold and began his traditional celebration but before he could enjoy the moment, the Great Muta's theme music hit! Muta came to the ring ready to cash in his money in the bank title shot right after Hogan had finished a last man standing match!..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Hulk Hogan def. The Great Muta (15:58) after a running knee to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Hulkamania is running wild! Muta thought he had the perfect setup to take the title but Hogan overcame the odds just as he did last year when Randy Orton attempted to cash in on him. Hogan celebrated around the arena as he is still the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship as we head into the month of July and The Great American Bash!

FPR Redemption Results (5/22/10)
FPR Redemption 2010
May 22, 2010
Theme Song: Jack Off Jill - Fear of Dying
(Side Note: I was able to find my gamebridge disc and these matches were recorded though I still no longer have Nero VIsion to put highlight videos together, if I do buy it again or somehow retrieve it, a video may be put together at a later date but I did not feel that it's possibility should hold up the results as it may not happen any time soon. So, I figured it would be best to just release the results and keep everyone up to date.)
PRESTORY: Last month, Rob Van Dam won an 8 man battle royal to secure the final spot in the King of the Ring tournament. RVD pinned Eddie Edwards to win that battle. Edwards was furious at the loss and that he lost his shot at KOTR. Edwards returned the following week and cost Van Dam his first round match against Sting. RVD and Edwards would then meet in a tag team match where the Nightmare Express defeated the American Wolves. Edwards challenged RVD to a one on one match at Redemption and the bout was on!
Rob Van Dam def. Eddie Edwards (18:09) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: A great match that made for one hell of an opener as RVD continues to get the best of Edwards. Both men were applauded for their performance on this night.
PRESTORY: The Beautiful People's business over the last several months has been well-documented. Last month at Breakout was the first official time that Angelina Love opposed her former stablemates in an eight woman tag team match. This month, Madison and Maryse challenged Angelina to team up with Victoria for a tag team match because they wanted revenge on Angelina for leaving them behind. Angelina and Victoria accepted the challenge which would be the first time they had teamed together in a regular tag team match.
Madison Rayne & Maryse def. Angelina Love & Victoria (15:31) when Maryse pinned Angelina with a sunset flip
AFTERSTORY: The Beautiful People did as they promised, they came out victorious! Angelina looked to finish off Maryse, but she countered with a very impressive sunset flip from the top rope. Angelina was certainly caught by surprise and it appeared that Victoria was as well as she did not enter the ring to make the save. Angelina was visibly frustrated following the loss and was quick to leave ringside.
PRESTORY: The Big Show has dominated the scene since winning the International Championship. Big Show retained over The Undertaker at WrestleMania and since then has not had a number one contender. Without a contender and ready to defend, Big Show decided that he would hand-pick an opponent to challenge him for the FPR International title!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Maven (7:50) via submission with the Colossal Clutch to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Big Show made quick work of his selected opponent in Maven. Maven gave a good effort but it wasn't enough to topple the Giant. Following the match, Jakob Furis came out from the back and made his intentions known: he is challenging The Big Show to a match for the International title next month at his signature show, FPR Bloodlines!
PRESTORY: Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro and Robert Evans & Matt Palmer have been two teams that have been at each other's throats over the past few months. Things only escalated in the Real World Tag League when both teams received the exact same score from their amount of victories. A challenge was made to settle their score against one another in a tag team match at Redemption!
Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro def. Robert Evans & Matt Palmer (19:01) when Johnson pinned Palmer with a tiger driver
AFTERSTORY: A big victory for Caesaro & Jiggle-O who may have proven to be the better team with their win over their longtime rivals!
PRESTORY: Two months ago at WrestleMania, Jessica James and Claudia met one on one. Jessica is looking to move further and further in the womens' division in FPR while Claudia has been intent on not letting that happen at her expense. Claudia defeated Jessica in a competitive battle at WrestleMania but Jessica was not going to give up easy. Jessica trained harder and challenged Claudia to a rematch to take place at Redemption! Claudia accepted in hopes of assuring that Jessica does not climb the ladder any further than she has.
Jessica James def. Claudia (19:55) after a spin kick
AFTERSTORY: Jessica gained the big victory and pinned the former women's champion! A definite classic match as both women went back and forth, that could have easily gone either way. Jessica managed to pick up the victory and it is likely that they will meet in the ring again sometime in the near future.
PRESTORY: Throughout the month, the 4th annual Real World Tag League took place. Four blocks of 16 separated 64 teams to determine who would come out the best. The Block A winners were the reigning FPR Tag Team Champions, The Latin American XChange. LAX came out on top among the top 5 which included The Funks, Jericho and Spoiler, Naked Man & Dino, and former tag champions Team 3D. LAX scored a total of 26, only suffering two losses in the entire league thus far. LAX would face the winners of Block B, the Powers of Pain! The Powers of Pain emerged out of nowhere, overcoming Block B's top 5 which consisted of the Freebirds, The Von Erichs, Undertaker & Kane, and the Miracle Violence Connection. They scored a total of 24 and would meet the tag team champions here in the semi-finals where the winners would go on to the finals!
Real World Tag League Semi-Finals: Latin American XChange def. The Powers of Pain (17:54) when Homicide pinned Barbarian with a rolling prawn hold
AFTERSTORY: LAX were once again successful and would now have to wrestle two more times, the RWTL finals as well as their scheduled tag team title defense. LAX would hope to become the first ever reigning tag team champions to win the Real World Tag League.
PRESTORY: Following last month, Candice Michelle and Hamada both felt they were in position to be the best. Both women respected one another and agreed to face off in a one on one match. Lacey Von Erich heard the match was being made and she was still looking for revenge on Candice for causing her very first defeat at WrestleMania. Lacey got herself into the match to make it a triple threat match. Candice has been long known as the Best in the World, Hamada has been improving since day one and Lacey Von Erich believes that she is the best there is. Now all three would meet in the ring!
Triple Threat Match: Lacey Von Erich def. Hamada & Candice Michelle (19:53)
*Hamada pinned Candice (19:03) with the Hamada Driver
*Lacey pinned Hamada (19:53)
AFTERSTORY: And Lacey steals the victory! Hamada pinned Candice with her patented Hamada Driver and before she could regain composure, Lacey attacked from behind, not allowing Hamada to fully get back to her feet and made the pinfall. Lacey celebrated as if she had just become champion while Hamada was in disbelief, as was Candice on the outside. Lacey, despite how she may get things done, continues to be a force in the division.
PRESTORY: Continuing the Real World Tag League, Block C was won by Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli. Hero and Claudio came out on top in a star-studded block over top 5 teams that included the Road Warriors, Sting & Luger, as well as multi-time champions The Midnight Express and The Briscoes, who would receive a tag title shot later on. Hero and Claudio definitely made a bold statement with their Block C win with a total of 24 points. Block D was perhaps the most unpredictable as the underdogs of the league, The Doom Thug Empire, shocked everyone by winning the block with 26 points, tying LAX for the most. The Doom Thugs gained the #1 spot over both Giant & Super Strong Machine as well as the Outsiders. Nobody expected them to make it this far but they made it to the semi finals and were on to face Hero & Castagnoli!
Real World Tag League Semi-Finals: The Doom Thug Empire def. Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli (22:41) when Chance pinned Claudio with a styles clash
AFTERSTORY: In what would almost have to be considered a major upset, The Doom Thug Empire has come out more dominant than ever before in FPR! They seemed determined to get a shot at the tag team titles as they were now on to the finals. But there they would face the Latin American XChange, a team they have never been able to defeat!
PRESTORY: In February, Brian Pillman defeated Yoshi Tatsu to win the Super J Cup tournament. The victory made Pillman the number one contender and he would go on to win the FPR Junior Championship from Frankie Kazarian at WrestleMania. Pillman has held onto the title thus far and a couple of weeks ago, Yoshi Tatsu defeated Kazarian, AJ Styles, and Kofi Kingston in a fatal four way to become the #1 contender and have a rematch with Pillman from the J Cup finals!
Junior Championship Match: Brian Pillman def. Yoshi Tatsu (13:08) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Pillman retains and continues enjoying his great reign thus far. Who will step up next to challenge for the junior championship!
PRESTORY: In WrestleMania's showcase battle royal, Bill Goldberg pinned Mike Foxx to win it. Foxx was irate that his road to victory was brought to a halt. Goldberg looked to make it his return to the top and entered the King of the Ring tournament. Foxx, however, got wind of Goldberg's plan to enter and attacked him, taking him out of the tournament. Foxx ended up taking Goldberg's spot. Goldberg announce he would return at Redemption and wanted Foxx in the ring one on one!
Bill Goldberg def. Mike Foxx (16:53) with the Jackhammer
AFTERSTORY: A great back and forth battle saw Goldberg gain his revenge and put Foxx down with the Jackhammer. Foxx was helped to the back afterwards as Goldberg looks to continue his path of destruction.
PRESTORY: After Mick Foley came out on top in his heated rivalry with Randy Orton, he waited for his next challenge. At an FPR live event, Foley said he was going to take on any and all comers. He said he was putting the hardcore title on the line anytime against anyone. His challenge was answered by Tiger Jeet Singh who promised that he was more hardcore than Foley and would take his title. Foley accepted and the match was on!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Tiger Jeet Singh (19:43) after a tackle to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Tiger Jeet definitely took Foley to the limit and by the end of it, both men were covered in blood. Tiger Jeet nearly succeeded several times in choking out Foley. As Foley got to his feet, he was attacked from behind by Mr. Pogo! Pogo beatdown Foley until being forced off as it appears Foley's open invitation is being taken very seriously as new challengers continue to arise for the hardcore deathmatch championship.
PRESTORY: Last month, Stone Cold Steve Austin won the 2010 King of the Ring tournament. Austin's biggest rival as of late has been Chris Jericho. Jericho swears that had he faced Austin the KOTR, Austin wouldn't have won. Jericho challenged Austin so that he could prove to the world he should be King of the Ring.
Steve Austin def. Chris Jericho (14:22) via Stunner CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Jericho looked dominant in this match as he controlled the majority of the match but in the end Stone Cold caught him out of nowhere with the Stunner that ended the match effectively. Jericho has since begun accusing Austin of cheating to defeat him. The way it looks, Jericho isn't going to stop until he overcomes Stone Cold, no matter how he has to go about doing it.
PRESTORY: The Real World Tag League finals was set earlier and it turned out to be a match that has taken place many times included two WrestleManias. The Latin American XChange against the Doom Thug Empire. Both teams had equal scores in their blocks and made it to the finals. LAX look to become the first ever team to win the league while being the tag team champions, while the Doom Thug Empire hoped to defeat the team they have never been able to beat!
Real World Tag League Finals: The Latin American XChange def. The Doom Thug Empire (19:17) when Homicide choked out D-Money
AFTERSTORY: LAX did it, they outlasted 63 other tag teams and became the first ever reigning champions to win the League. LAX stake their claim as the best while they had to quickly prepare for a title defense against the Briscoes, being billed as the last chance final showdown between the two teams who have had a year's worth of rivalry and hatred.
PRESTORY: Mark Henry shocked the world when he won the Octagon championship from Bob Sapp at WrestleMania. Henry thought for sure that he had put an end to Sapp for good but Sapp announced he would return for his rematch at Redemption!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Mark Henry via 2nd Round KO (2:14) with a german suplex (7:14) to become the NEW Champion
AFTERSTORY: Sapp does it again, as his story always goes. When he loses, it's almost certain he will regain his belt in time. Sapp returns to his throne as king of the octagon in hard-fought battle.
PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, The Great Muta came out of the field of 8 with the Money in the Bank briefcase. He won the match with a devastating Moonsault from the side of the cage onto Jushin Liger. Liger looked to prove himself in a different way among the heavyweight ranks by entering the King of the Ring. Liger impressed many and made it to the semi-finals before falling to the eventual winner. Liger challenged Muta to a match for Redemption and Muta accepted. Muta promised to continue his path to the top and take out Liger in the process.

AFTERSTORY: Muta finished off Liger with a piledriver and looked to continue his attack after the match but was forced off. Muta's mean streak continues as he defeats Liger.
PRESTORY: The feud between LAX and The Briscoes has been on and off for the past year. The last several months they continued to trade the belts back and forth again and again. It was believed that this was to be their final bout, however if the Briscoes were to win, LAX would have a guaranteed shot from winning the Real World Tag League. If LAX were to win, they would have the following month off from title defenses.
World Tag Team Championships Match: Latin American XChange(c) def. The Briscoes (19:35) when Homicide pinned Jay with a sitout DVD to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: And the night ends for LAX with a clean sweep! LAX won three matches in one night, proving they may indeed be the greatest tag team in FPR. The Briscoes may be out of the title picture for now and it's unknown who will challenge LAX next as they will have time off from their defenses to enjoy with their tag team titles as well as their Tag League trophy.
PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger defeated D-Generation X on their third and final attempt. The stipulation to that match was that the losing team would be forced to disband. In that match, Swagger pinned Michaels at a point in the match where everyone expected HBK to kickout. Triple H was in disbelief as DX had come to an end. Later that night, Michaels would return and interfere in the CM Punk vs Hulk Hogan match on Punk's behalf. Michaels revealed he had re-aligned with his former stablemates, CM Punk and Austin Aries. Michaels helped Punk win the World Title just like they had attempted to do at the very first WrestleMania. The following month at Breakout. Generation sXe challenged Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart to find a partner for a six man tag. Hogan and Hart caught them by surprise when they revealed their partner to be Triple H! HHH was obviously furious at Michaels' decisions and actions. That match ended with Hogan's leg drop on Aries and now it was time for Triple H & Shawn to meet one on one!
Triple H def. Shawn Michaels (10:21) after a knee to face drop
AFTERSTORY: Triple H got a huge measure of the Redemption he wanted here! HHH pinned Michaels in a relatively short match to put Generation sXe at 0-1 for the night.
PRESTORY: In February, Bret Hart pinned CM Punk in the main event of Valentine's Massacre on the Road to Wrestlemania. Following the match, Aries attacked Bret and Punk showed his true colors by aligning with him. Aries and Punk beat down Bret which led to a one on one match at WrestleMania between Aries and Hart. Aries picked up the win there but Bret wasn't happy at all with the loss. They met next in the six man tag at Breakout and aftewards, Bret challenged Aries to meet him in a submission match at Redemption!
Submissions Match: Austin Aries def. Bret Hart (22:05) via submission with the Rings of Saturn
AFTERSTORY: A great back and forth battle, Aries just wouldn't quit. Aries forced Bret to pass out finally and put Generation sXe at 2-2. A huge win for Aries as he continues to prove Punk right when he said he had saved Aries and brought him back to his old dominant ways.
PRESTORY: The feud between Alissa Flash & Maria Menounos has been a long, well-documented one. Things escalated last month at Breakout when Alissa became the new women's champion with a shocking, controversial, three way victory over Gina Carano and Menounos. Following the victory, Carano opted to take some time off, leaving Menounos as the number one contender to her biggest rival's title. Alissa's first defense was set for Redemption against Maria, as she hoped to vanquish her rival while Menounos title aspiriations grew stronger!
Women's Championship Match: Alissa Flash def. Maria Menounos (16:21) after an elbow to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Another classic back and forth matchup between these two but in the end Alissa proves dominant and reigns supreme. Alissa is having a very impressive year as it didn't take her long from her debut to become champion. Menounos will remain in the picture but for now it looks like Alissa may be accepting a new challenge in June, though who exactly remains uncertain at this point.
PRESTORY: CM Punk won the Royal Battle in 2010 to guarantee a worlds heavyweight title shot at champion, Hulk Hogan, come WrestleMania. At Mania, Punk pulled off the unthinkable, putting an end to the 8 month reign of Hulkamania. But it was not without help, as mentioned above, Punk's title win was aided by both Austin Aries and Shawn Michaels. Generation sXe had reformed and appeared stronger than ever, especially with Punk as champion. However the trio were trumped at Breakout by their rivals in Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Triple H. The six-man win ensured that Hogan was more than deserving of his rematch at Redemption! On the road to Redemption, CM Punk went 1 on 1 with Randy Savage and pulled off a very impressive win, this time single-handedly in a near 20 minute match. Punk wanted to use that match to send a message to Hogan and Hogan heard it loud and clear. The rematch would finally take place at Redemption!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Hulk Hogan def. CM Punk (8:43) after a piledriver to become the NEW Champion!!!!
AFTERSTORY: Redemption received! Hulk Hogan battered Punk from pillar to post and put him down to once again regain the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship!

Theme Song: Jack Off Jill - Fear of Dying
(Side Note: I was able to find my gamebridge disc and these matches were recorded though I still no longer have Nero VIsion to put highlight videos together, if I do buy it again or somehow retrieve it, a video may be put together at a later date but I did not feel that it's possibility should hold up the results as it may not happen any time soon. So, I figured it would be best to just release the results and keep everyone up to date.)
PRESTORY: Last month, Rob Van Dam won an 8 man battle royal to secure the final spot in the King of the Ring tournament. RVD pinned Eddie Edwards to win that battle. Edwards was furious at the loss and that he lost his shot at KOTR. Edwards returned the following week and cost Van Dam his first round match against Sting. RVD and Edwards would then meet in a tag team match where the Nightmare Express defeated the American Wolves. Edwards challenged RVD to a one on one match at Redemption and the bout was on!

AFTERSTORY: A great match that made for one hell of an opener as RVD continues to get the best of Edwards. Both men were applauded for their performance on this night.
PRESTORY: The Beautiful People's business over the last several months has been well-documented. Last month at Breakout was the first official time that Angelina Love opposed her former stablemates in an eight woman tag team match. This month, Madison and Maryse challenged Angelina to team up with Victoria for a tag team match because they wanted revenge on Angelina for leaving them behind. Angelina and Victoria accepted the challenge which would be the first time they had teamed together in a regular tag team match.

AFTERSTORY: The Beautiful People did as they promised, they came out victorious! Angelina looked to finish off Maryse, but she countered with a very impressive sunset flip from the top rope. Angelina was certainly caught by surprise and it appeared that Victoria was as well as she did not enter the ring to make the save. Angelina was visibly frustrated following the loss and was quick to leave ringside.
PRESTORY: The Big Show has dominated the scene since winning the International Championship. Big Show retained over The Undertaker at WrestleMania and since then has not had a number one contender. Without a contender and ready to defend, Big Show decided that he would hand-pick an opponent to challenge him for the FPR International title!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Maven (7:50) via submission with the Colossal Clutch to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Big Show made quick work of his selected opponent in Maven. Maven gave a good effort but it wasn't enough to topple the Giant. Following the match, Jakob Furis came out from the back and made his intentions known: he is challenging The Big Show to a match for the International title next month at his signature show, FPR Bloodlines!
PRESTORY: Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro and Robert Evans & Matt Palmer have been two teams that have been at each other's throats over the past few months. Things only escalated in the Real World Tag League when both teams received the exact same score from their amount of victories. A challenge was made to settle their score against one another in a tag team match at Redemption!

PRESTORY: Two months ago at WrestleMania, Jessica James and Claudia met one on one. Jessica is looking to move further and further in the womens' division in FPR while Claudia has been intent on not letting that happen at her expense. Claudia defeated Jessica in a competitive battle at WrestleMania but Jessica was not going to give up easy. Jessica trained harder and challenged Claudia to a rematch to take place at Redemption! Claudia accepted in hopes of assuring that Jessica does not climb the ladder any further than she has.

AFTERSTORY: Jessica gained the big victory and pinned the former women's champion! A definite classic match as both women went back and forth, that could have easily gone either way. Jessica managed to pick up the victory and it is likely that they will meet in the ring again sometime in the near future.
PRESTORY: Throughout the month, the 4th annual Real World Tag League took place. Four blocks of 16 separated 64 teams to determine who would come out the best. The Block A winners were the reigning FPR Tag Team Champions, The Latin American XChange. LAX came out on top among the top 5 which included The Funks, Jericho and Spoiler, Naked Man & Dino, and former tag champions Team 3D. LAX scored a total of 26, only suffering two losses in the entire league thus far. LAX would face the winners of Block B, the Powers of Pain! The Powers of Pain emerged out of nowhere, overcoming Block B's top 5 which consisted of the Freebirds, The Von Erichs, Undertaker & Kane, and the Miracle Violence Connection. They scored a total of 24 and would meet the tag team champions here in the semi-finals where the winners would go on to the finals!

AFTERSTORY: LAX were once again successful and would now have to wrestle two more times, the RWTL finals as well as their scheduled tag team title defense. LAX would hope to become the first ever reigning tag team champions to win the Real World Tag League.
PRESTORY: Following last month, Candice Michelle and Hamada both felt they were in position to be the best. Both women respected one another and agreed to face off in a one on one match. Lacey Von Erich heard the match was being made and she was still looking for revenge on Candice for causing her very first defeat at WrestleMania. Lacey got herself into the match to make it a triple threat match. Candice has been long known as the Best in the World, Hamada has been improving since day one and Lacey Von Erich believes that she is the best there is. Now all three would meet in the ring!
Triple Threat Match: Lacey Von Erich def. Hamada & Candice Michelle (19:53)
*Hamada pinned Candice (19:03) with the Hamada Driver
*Lacey pinned Hamada (19:53)
AFTERSTORY: And Lacey steals the victory! Hamada pinned Candice with her patented Hamada Driver and before she could regain composure, Lacey attacked from behind, not allowing Hamada to fully get back to her feet and made the pinfall. Lacey celebrated as if she had just become champion while Hamada was in disbelief, as was Candice on the outside. Lacey, despite how she may get things done, continues to be a force in the division.
PRESTORY: Continuing the Real World Tag League, Block C was won by Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli. Hero and Claudio came out on top in a star-studded block over top 5 teams that included the Road Warriors, Sting & Luger, as well as multi-time champions The Midnight Express and The Briscoes, who would receive a tag title shot later on. Hero and Claudio definitely made a bold statement with their Block C win with a total of 24 points. Block D was perhaps the most unpredictable as the underdogs of the league, The Doom Thug Empire, shocked everyone by winning the block with 26 points, tying LAX for the most. The Doom Thugs gained the #1 spot over both Giant & Super Strong Machine as well as the Outsiders. Nobody expected them to make it this far but they made it to the semi finals and were on to face Hero & Castagnoli!

PRESTORY: In February, Brian Pillman defeated Yoshi Tatsu to win the Super J Cup tournament. The victory made Pillman the number one contender and he would go on to win the FPR Junior Championship from Frankie Kazarian at WrestleMania. Pillman has held onto the title thus far and a couple of weeks ago, Yoshi Tatsu defeated Kazarian, AJ Styles, and Kofi Kingston in a fatal four way to become the #1 contender and have a rematch with Pillman from the J Cup finals!

PRESTORY: In WrestleMania's showcase battle royal, Bill Goldberg pinned Mike Foxx to win it. Foxx was irate that his road to victory was brought to a halt. Goldberg looked to make it his return to the top and entered the King of the Ring tournament. Foxx, however, got wind of Goldberg's plan to enter and attacked him, taking him out of the tournament. Foxx ended up taking Goldberg's spot. Goldberg announce he would return at Redemption and wanted Foxx in the ring one on one!

PRESTORY: After Mick Foley came out on top in his heated rivalry with Randy Orton, he waited for his next challenge. At an FPR live event, Foley said he was going to take on any and all comers. He said he was putting the hardcore title on the line anytime against anyone. His challenge was answered by Tiger Jeet Singh who promised that he was more hardcore than Foley and would take his title. Foley accepted and the match was on!

As Foley got to his feet, he was attacked from behind by Mr. Pogo! Pogo beatdown Foley until being forced off as it appears Foley's open invitation is being taken very seriously as new challengers continue to arise for the hardcore deathmatch championship.
PRESTORY: Last month, Stone Cold Steve Austin won the 2010 King of the Ring tournament. Austin's biggest rival as of late has been Chris Jericho. Jericho swears that had he faced Austin the KOTR, Austin wouldn't have won. Jericho challenged Austin so that he could prove to the world he should be King of the Ring.

AFTERSTORY: Jericho looked dominant in this match as he controlled the majority of the match but in the end Stone Cold caught him out of nowhere with the Stunner that ended the match effectively. Jericho has since begun accusing Austin of cheating to defeat him. The way it looks, Jericho isn't going to stop until he overcomes Stone Cold, no matter how he has to go about doing it.
PRESTORY: The Real World Tag League finals was set earlier and it turned out to be a match that has taken place many times included two WrestleManias. The Latin American XChange against the Doom Thug Empire. Both teams had equal scores in their blocks and made it to the finals.

PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, The Great Muta came out of the field of 8 with the Money in the Bank briefcase. He won the match with a devastating Moonsault from the side of the cage onto Jushin Liger. Liger looked to prove himself in a different way among the heavyweight ranks by entering the King of the Ring. Liger impressed many and made it to the semi-finals before falling to the eventual winner. Liger challenged Muta to a match for Redemption and Muta accepted. Muta promised to continue his path to the top and take out Liger in the process.

PRESTORY: The feud between LAX and The Briscoes has been on and off for the past year. The last several months they continued to trade the belts back and forth again and again. It was believed that this was to be their final bout, however if the Briscoes were to win, LAX would have a guaranteed shot from winning the Real World Tag League. If LAX were to win, they would have the following month off from title defenses.

PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger defeated D-Generation X on their third and final attempt. The stipulation to that match was that the losing team would be forced to disband. In that match, Swagger pinned Michaels at a point in the match where everyone expected HBK to kickout. Triple H was in disbelief as DX had come to an end. Later that night, Michaels would return and interfere in the CM Punk vs Hulk Hogan match on Punk's behalf. Michaels revealed he had re-aligned with his former stablemates, CM Punk and Austin Aries. Michaels helped Punk win the World Title just like they had attempted to do at the very first WrestleMania. The following month at Breakout. Generation sXe challenged Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart to find a partner for a six man tag. Hogan and Hart caught them by surprise when they revealed their partner to be Triple H!

PRESTORY: The feud between Alissa Flash & Maria Menounos has been a long, well-documented one. Things escalated last month at Breakout when Alissa became the new women's champion with a shocking, controversial, three way victory over Gina Carano and Menounos. Following the victory, Carano opted to take some time off, leaving Menounos as the number one contender to her biggest rival's title.

Menounos will remain in the picture but for now it looks like Alissa may be accepting a new challenge in June, though who exactly remains uncertain at this point.
PRESTORY: CM Punk won the Royal Battle in 2010 to guarantee a worlds heavyweight title shot at champion, Hulk Hogan, come WrestleMania. At Mania, Punk pulled off the unthinkable, putting an end to the 8 month reign of Hulkamania. But it was not without help, as mentioned above, Punk's title win was aided by both Austin Aries and Shawn Michaels. Generation sXe had reformed and appeared stronger than ever, especially with Punk as champion. However the trio were trumped at Breakout by their rivals in Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Triple H. The six-man win ensured that Hogan was more than deserving of his rematch at Redemption! On the road to Redemption, CM Punk went 1 on 1 with Randy Savage and pulled off a very impressive win, this time single-handedly in a near 20 minute match. Punk wanted to use that match to send a message to Hogan and Hogan heard it loud and clear. The rematch would finally take place at Redemption!
