PRESTORY: Last month at the Summer Spectacular tag team tournament, The Hardyz defeated Robert Evans & Matt Palmer. They had a rematch at the Great American Bash, where Evans & Palmer avenged their loss and secured victory. This month, they were pit against each other in an eight man tag. The Hardyz joined up with Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro, a team that perhaps knows Evans & Palmer better than anyone. While their opposition joined forces with the tag team of Andy Dalton & The Brian Kendrick, who always remain a threat in the tag team division.
8 Man Tag Team Match: Robert Evans, Matt Palmer, Andy Dalton, & The Brian Kendrick def. Julian Caesaro, Jiggle-O James Johnson, & The Hardyz (19:44) when Evans pinned Caesaro after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Evans scored the surprise pinfall in the midst of a large brawl in the ring and his team were quick to escape from the ring victorious. Evans managed to pin Caesaro, leaving their score with the Hardyz seemingly unsettled.

PRESTORY: Last month, many people believed Bill Goldberg would finally end the Big Show's reign as international champion. Show has held the belt now for 10 months. FPR didn't have a number one contender, so anyone was invited to step up and challenge the Big Show.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Bryan Danielson (13:05) with a running elbow drop to RETAIN the title
AFTERSTORY: Bryan Danielson put up a huge fight, he came close, but in the end it was like the rest of Show's victims...just not enough.

PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Jamilia Craft made her FPR debut in an 8 woman battle royal. Craft impressed everyone in attendance as she lasted until the final three, scoring several pinfalls including eliminating former FPR Women's Champion, the Angel of Mercy, Claudia. That didn't set well with Claudia, who always manages to remain a force in the division. Claudia challenged Craft to meet her in the ring, one on one.
Claudia def. Jamilia Craft (12:54) with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY: An exciting back and forth battle saw Claudia use her experience edge to defeat the young up and comer. Craft dominated the early-goings, coming at Claudia with a barrage of offense, one move after another but Claudia fought back. Craft looked to secure the win with a top rope cross body but Claudia again survived. Claudia caught Craft off an irish whip with a cross body of her own for the win. It was another very impressive showing from Craft, who is certainly here to stay, but Claudia was just too much of a challenge at this point. Both women have entered into the second annual, FPR Queen's Cup, which will take place in two weeks time.

PRESTORY: Last month, Bob Sapp annihilated Mirko CroCop, so FPR gave the next shot to the then-#2 contender, Don Frye.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Don Frye via 2nd Round KO (2:04) after a reverse powerbomb (7:04)
AFTERSTORY: Frye put up a fight, lasted a round but Sapp remains dominant. Sapp has lost a few times over the past year, but each time he just comes back stronger. Can anyone stop The Beast for good?

AFTERSTORY: In the Road 2 GAB Tournament, Ric Flair cheated his way to victory over several opponents, most notably Kurt Angle. Angle didn't forget that and got his hands on Flair in a triple threat match at the Great American Bash. Angle chose to finish off Yoshinari Ogawa in that match, leaving Flair open to a one on one match that would take place here at Final Burns!
Kurt Angle def. Ric Flair (11:18) after the Angle Slam
AFTERSTORY: Flair tried to use his dirty tactis again, from eye pokes to chokeholds to biting that caused Angle to bleed. Angle just kept coming and tossed Flair around the ring with several suplexes. Angle ended things effectively with the Angle Slam and his hot streak continues. Following the match, Angle announced that next month, he will challenge The Big Show for the FPR International Championship! Angle hopes to capitalize on the momentum he has now to carry him into championship gold.

PRESTORY: Last month, Mick Foley was finally defeated for the hardcore deathmatch title. Perhaps, Foley's open invitational for anyone to step up into the division finally caught up to him as Abdullah the Butcher became new champion. Foley would invoke his rematch clause at Final Burns.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (14:47) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the title
AFTERSTORY: Abdullah proved his win was no fluke as he has defeated Foley a second time. Foley will look to move on from the title while we look to find out who Abdullah will defend against next.

PRESTORY: In the Road 2 GAB tournament, Takeshi Morishima defeated Spoiler 2000. Spoiler thought for sure that tournament was his to win but it was not to be. Spoiler challenged Morishima to a rematch at the Great American Bash where he was victorious. After the match however, Spoiler was attacked from behind by Bison Smith. Bison and Morishima seemed to form some sort of alliance as they beatdown Spoiler. In the weeks that followed, Spoiler recovered and challenged Bison to take him on in the ring, one on one.
Spoiler 2000 def. Bison Smith (15:58) with a rollup
AFTERSTORY: Another successful victory for Spoiler! Spoiler now overcame both his rivals in back to back months. Like last month, Spoiler was again attacked, this time by Morishima. Morishima and Bison double-teamed Spoiler until Jakob Furis ran out for the save! An unlikely aid to say the least, as Spoiler was Chris Jericho's hired gun to take out Furis not long ago. But it seems things have changed. Furis and Spoiler will team up for the first time to take on Bison & Morishima next month at The Ultimate Encounter!

PRESTORY: Brian Pillman has been a dominant junior champion since winning the belt at WrestleMania. At Bloodlines, he beat Rey Mysterio to retain the title and after that match, AJ Styles beatdown Mysterio. Rey had beaten AJ in a contenders match to get that shot. Last month at the Great American Bash, AJ backed up his words and defeated Rey in a match. AJ's dominance was impressive and earned him the title shot at Pillman at Final Burns.
Junior Championship Match: Brian Pillman def. AJ Styles (15:17) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship
AFTERSTORY: Pillman does it again! A back and forth competitive battle, AJ gave it his all. Pillman caught him off-guard with a backslide, something AJ tried earlier in the match, to win and retain his title. Pillman will be ready though as it has been confirmed that next month, Jushin Liger will return to the junior division looking to reclaim the title of the division he once dominated!

PRESTORY: The Beautiful People tandem of Madison Rayne and Maryse have been at odds with Candice Michelle and Ayako Hamada for several months now. At the Great American Bash, The Beautiful People scored the upset and defeated Candice and Hamada. Since then, they have proclaimed themselves the unofficial FPR women's tag team champions as they believe they are the best team. This month at Final Burns, the tag team feud has been split into singles matches.
Ayako Hamada def. Madison Rayne (11:32) with the Hamada Driver
Candice MIchelle def. Maryse (16:34) with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Hamada and Candice sweep the Beautiful People in singles this month! Both great battles but in the end, Candice & Hamada both got a little bit of payback. It's safe to say this feud will be continuing as the Beautiful People never let things go that easily.

PRESTORY: Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger have regained their early-year momentum as of late and last month, they capped things off with a dominant, impressive victory over 8 time former tag team champions, and 2009 tag team of the year, The Briscoes. Their win streak was something that could not be overlooked and they were granted a title shot against the reigning champions, LAX
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Latin American XChange def. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (9:52) when Homicide CRITICAL'd Swagger with the Gringo Killer to RETAIN the championships
*Swagger CRITICAL'd Hernandez (9:22) with the gutwrench powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: An exciting, action-packed brawl with a wild ending! Swagger and Ziggler were nearly tag team champions as Swagger lifted Hernandez up, Homicide managed to tag himself in, Swagger completed the Gutwrench Powerbomb with a CRITICAL on Hernandez. Hernandez was no longer legal, which allowed Homicide to sneak in from behind and drill Swagger with the Gringo Killer and CRITICAL him right back to retain the tag team titles in an unbelievable sequence.

PRESTORY: The rivalry between Angelina Love and Victoria is well-documented dating back to late last year. Most recently, in June, Victoria defeated Angelina at Bloodlines after their attempt at a tag team failed. Last month at the Great American Bash, Angelina managed to eliminate Victoria en route to the final two of the battle. However, Victoria would return at the match's end to cost Angelina the match, distracting her which led to Lacey Von Erich's victory. Angelina was irate and challenged Victoria to a rematch once again at Final Burns.
Victoria def. Angelina Love (15:18) after a backdrop
AFTERSTORY: Another tough battle between these two sees Victoria come out victorious again. Angelina almost had the match won when she managed to pop up from the Widow's Peak with a burst of adrenaline and dropped Victoria with her Lights Out finisher. However both women were hurt and couldn't capitalize. Victoria went on to win the match and stand tall in the end. Angelina, we know is still not satisfied and it remains to be seen if there will be one more rematch.

PRESTORY: Last month's Road 2 GAB finals saw John Cena overcome The Great Muta. Muta was hoping to get another shot at the title after failing in his money in the bank cash in. Muta didn't let things go and destroyed Cena after the match, making him bleed badly and brutalizing him. When Cena recovered, he waived the title shot he won in order to get Muta back in the ring. A street fight was signed between the two that had become huge enemies. Cena got his revenge and beat Muta in the street fight. However the feud wasn't quite over as Muta was in disbelief that Cena still had his number. A rematch was signed this time under I Quit rules!
I Quit Match: John Cena def. The Great Muta (22:52) with the STF
AFTERSTORY: Cena prevails again! Muta threw everything he had at Cena, re-opening his previous cuts, blinding him with mist, stabbing him with a fork and more. But Cena kept on giving as much as he was receiving. The two battled on for over twenty minutes in a true war. In the end, Cena locked Muta in the STF for the win. Cena triumphs over Muta one more time!

PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Lacey Von Erich shocked the world when she came out the winner of the eight woman battle royal. Lacey's win, no matter how it came about, was no doubt impressive. Later that night, Alissa Flash won back the FPR Women's Championship from Jessica James. Jessica and Alissa' series wasn't over but Lacey had to be considered a contender as well. It was decided that Alissa would defend it in a triple threat match against former champ, Jessica James, and number one contender, Lacey Von Erich!
Women's Championship Match: Jessica James def. Alissa Flash & Lacey Von Erich (11:17) when she pinned Alissa after the scorpion kick to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Jessica managed to come out on top! Several times it looked like all three had their chance to win the match. Lacey got busted open early on and was almost finished early but she kept fighting. In the end, Alissa looked to have the match won and she pinned Lacey but Jessica caught her with the scorpion kick from behind, out of nowhere. Jessica then made the pin on Alissa and became the champion once again! Alissa will be wanting her rematch ASAP but Lacey can also claim that she was not pinned.

PRESTORY: And so the stage was set for the showdown in the main event. A rematch from the main event of last year's Cyber Saturday. Reigning worlds heavyweight champion, Hulk Hogan, defending his championship against the 2010 King of the Ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Last month at Great American Bash, Hogan led his team into War Games. They were unsuccessful in their war against Generation sXe. And at the end of the night, Stone Cold cleared house to remind everyone just who would be getting the next world title shot. That night ended with Austin and Hogan having brief eye contact as both men knew what they were headed into. Stone Cold vs Hulkamania, the Stunner vs the Leg Drop, all on the line for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight title!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Hulk Hogan (15:52) after the Stone Cold Stunner to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Four stunners later, Stone Cold Steve Austin has become FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion for the first time! Austin's KOTR win and year-long battles have paid off. This match was a brutal war that saw neither man willing to give up and both men trying their hardest. The match lived up to it's hype and may have matched his predecessor that the fans voted for last year. Their score against one another now lies at 1-1 with Austin now holding the gold. After the match concluded, both men remained down. Austin began stirring first after he was handed the world championship, hearing his music blare through the arena. But before long, Generation sXe arrived on the scene! Punk, Michaels, and Aries entered the ring and began to beatdown the new champion. The group had remained quiet all night, seemingly biding their time since winning last month's War Games but they made their statement here. They soon began beating down Hogan as well as Austin. Until Triple H & Bret Hart came running down to even the odds. Bret and the Game took Aries and Michaels through the ropes and out the ring as the brawl continued. Punk remained in the ring and mounted Hogan with punches. The Great Muta then arrived out of nowhere and attacked Stone Cold! Not far behind him was John Cena, who as soon as he saw Muta get involved, was right on his tail! Cena and Muta's war from earlier continued on here. Punk looked to lift up Hogan for the Go to Sleep but suddenly, Mick Foley rolled into the ring and applied the Mandible Claw on Punk! Stone Cold got back to his feet and has soon has he got to a vertical base, he looked ahead and dropped Foley with the Stone Cold Stunner! Austin looked to go after Punk next but Punk rolled out of the ring still in pain from the mandible claw. Punk avoided the stunner as he did last month but also like last month, Stone Cold stood tall again! Glass Shatters hit once again as Austin raised his newly won worlds heavyweight championship admist all the chaos. The Austin Era has begun and what will happen next!?
