FPR The Ultimate Encounter
September 17, 2011
Theme Song: Four Year Strong - Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die
PRESTORY: The 2011 Queen's Cup tournament was a spectacular one. Great matches all the way around the tournament with many impressive performances from several competitors. After watching the tournament progress, FPR Management put together an eight woman tag team match with eight of the Queen's Cup's most impressive. Included in those impressive performances were two debuting FPR competitors in Rain and Lexxus. Both women will be on the same side in this match as they team up with recent #1 contender Athena and a woman who made her return in the Queen's Cup after a lenghty absence, MsChif. MsChif was impressive but was upset in the first round by one of the women heading the opposing team here, Nevaeh, who was extremely impressive. Nevaeh teams up with former women's champion Jessica James, Jamilia Craft, and Nikki Roxx to form a team of four for the Ultimate Encounter. This match will not only have rivalries inside of it but also all eight women will be looking to impress fans as the event that follows this is FPR's most interactive event of all time, Cyber Saturday, where the fans votes will determine who competes! The match promises to be an exciting thriller and there's no better way to kick off the Ultimate Encounter 2011!
8 Woman Tag Team Match: Nevaeh, Jessica James, Nikki Roxx,& Jamilia Craft def. Rain, Lexxus, MsChif, & Athena (40:02) when Craft pinned MsChif after Nevaeh used an STO
AFTERSTORY: What a match and performance from all eight women! Excellent display of tag team wrestling from Nevaeh and Jamilia Craft marked the end of the match with MsChif taking the fall. Nevaeh landed an STO in the middle of an in-ring brawl to break up a previous pin attempt and Craft was quick to capitalize. All eight may have earned some votes next month with their performances here. Another item of note was the appearance of the "Angel of Mercy" Claudia at ringside. Claudia has not been seen since losing to Jamilia Craft at WrestleMania but appeared here and seemed to be cheering on her former rival Craft. Jamilia was understandbly bewildered by Claudia's applause during the post-match celebration with her partners. Meanwhile, the opponents regrouped out on the other side, with Rain, Lexxus, and Athena exiting together as MsChif remained regrouping against the rail with a stare back into the ring at the winners. This match was a truly great way to kickoff the Ultimate Encounter as the women's division continues to grow like never before and interest is all around!
PRESTORY: Since losing his match for the Junior Championship at the Great American Bash, Robert Evans has been campaigning for another shot but in order to get it, he must earn it. Last month he was on the losing end of a six man tag and now he has challenged #2 contender to the title, Jiggle-O James Johnson to a one on one singles match. Johnson and Evans' go back a long ways and the challenge was accepted for the Ultimate Encounter. It would be a battle of two of the division's rising stars and top contenders but only one man could come out on top on this night!
Jiggle-O James Johnson def. Robert Evans (17:02) with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY: Jiggle-O picks up a huge victory! Johnson has certainly proved himself as a top contender in the division as of late. While Evans suffers another loss and it looks safe to say he won't be getting the title shot that he has campaigned for anytime soon. It's up to the fans to decide who gets the next junior championship shot and Evans getting his rematch does not seem like a likely outcome. Johnson continues to impress with his outings and especially a victory like this.
PRESTORY: With no contender set for the International Championship and Cyber Saturday coming up very soon, Sting elected to challenge for the championship representing the Muta Alliance. With Kabuki and Muta in other matches, Sting looked to make a huge statement against the dominant giant. Sting hoped to bring the title back to his faction but as we have seen many times in the past, the Big Show is nearly unstoppable.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Sting (12:34) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Sting put up a hell of a fight but couldn't topple the Big Show. Show heads into Cyber Saturday the same way he did last year - as International Champion - and it's up to the fans to determine who gets next shot!
PRESTORY: The women's tag scene is hot right now and with the former champions due for a rematch clause later this night, FPR Management decided upon another tag team bout between two longtime rivals and the first two teams to hold the gold. Marti Belle and Jazz will team up to take on the Beautiful People duo of Madison Rayne and Maryse. TBP seemingly never could defeat Belle and Jazz, who had their number since early this year. They met at WrestleMania in a classic battle. Madison Rayne recently displayed her own skills with an eye-opening performance in the Queen's Cup where she advanced to the third round before being defeated by Sarita. Madison teams back up wtih Maryse now as the team that brought the tag belts to FPR a year ago look to recapture their prominence on the tag scene as we approach the event that the titles debuted on last year in Cyber Saturday. Whomever wins this bout could certainly move further towards a title shot at whichever team comes out of the Ultimate Encounter as the champions.
Marti Belle & Jazz def. Madison Rayne & Maryse (22:16) when Jazz pinned Maryse after a leg drop
AFTERSTORY: The Beautiful People just cannot beat Marti Belle and Jazz! Jazz caught them by surprise when she pinned Maryse as Madison was exiting the ring. Rayne was even more irate than usual at the loss as she immediately re-entered the ring, knocked Marti Belle off the apron and begin to attack Jazz. Marti Belle returned to the ring with a steel chair to chase Rayne off and The Beautiful People retreated up the ramp. Later on, we caught up with TBP backstage where Madison Rayne talked about how last year at Cyber Saturday, they forced their way onto the card when they introduced the women's tag team championships which forced a bonus match, but this year she promises they will take over the event - and believes they will have the fans votes. We will find out what goes down when FPR is left in the hands of the audience next month!
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Dr. Death Steve Williams came closer than anyone lately of defeating Bob Sapp in the Octagon. As a result, he was granted one last rematch in an effort to take the title from Sapp heading into Cyber Saturday VI. Sapp has entered every Cyber Saturday as Octagon champion and is more often than not champion throughout the year. Dr. Death has one shot to take down the Beast!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Dr. Death Steve Williams via 2nd Round KO (0:17) with a press slam (5:17) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Sapp retains again and heads into the sixth annual Cyber Saturday the same way that he always has - as Octagon Champion. It's fans choice who gets the next shot!
PRESTORY: Back in June, Mike Foxx and Scot Summers battled in a thrilling contest that saw Foxx come out the winner after twenty minutes. The two were set for a rematch but Summers suffered an injury in the Road to GAB tournament that kept him out. Now that Summers is back in action, he has asked for Foxx back in the ring to settle the score. The match was agreed upon and signed for the Ultimate Encounter!
Mike Foxx def. Scot Summers (13:35) via submission
AFTERSTORY: Foxx wasted no time in targetting Summers' recent neck injury and was able to put him away with a submission. Both men were out to impress in hopes of gaining potential votes next month and it was Foxx who would emerge victorious for the second time over Summers.
PRESTORY: Last month, Mick Foley was able to reclaim the Hardcore Deathmatch championship with a major victory over Abdullah the Butcher. Abdullah had held a stronghold on the title for many months but Foley was able to knock him off. Abdullah is now out for blood and revenge in his rematch at the Ultimate Encounter. Whoever wins will head into Cyber Saturday as the champion and as we've seen in the past, that is the show with the ability to change everything! Only one of the hardcore legends will emerge from the Deathmatch as champion!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (16:19) with the running elbow drop on a steel chair to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: What a bloody brawl this one was! Abdullah regains the gold in brutal fashion as these two were definitely out to hurt one another. Foley was unable to hold onto the title for long as Abdullah now heads into Cyber Saturday as champion, much like he did last year. Who will be voted into the blood-filled deathmatch environment next?!
PRESTORY: Two former World Champions will collide at the Ultimate Encounter when Triple H takes on The Rock! With Cyber Saturday around the corner, FPR Management made the match to give a showcase to both competitors as they look to grab everyone's attention to earn their votes. A year ago it was the Rock that fans voted into Cyber Saturday's main event to become champion. Rock would later lose the championship to the Game at the end of 2010 and now they will meet again, this time with no titles on the line, to find out who is the better man.
The Rock def. Triple H (29:51) with a rollup
AFTERSTORY: An incredible battle between these two former champions! Both men went back and forth all match as it neared the 30 minute mark. In the end, Rock was able to catch The Game by surprise with a rollup for the three count, finally defeating HHH after H had beat him twice in their previous title bouts. There is no doubt that these two put on one of their best performances to date and impressed everyone in attendance. Both are expected to receive a large amount votes heading into next month's FPR Cyber Saturday VI. After the match was ended, it was clear that both men were spent from the thriller they had just endured. Rock got to his feet and offered his hand to the Game which was accepted. The two shook hands and exchanged words as it's likely it won't be the last time we see them in the ring with one another. The crowd gave a big ovation to both men as they made their exit.
PRESTORY: The war between the Road Warriors and Freebirds has been running for months now. The Road Warriors have seemingly gotten their revenge with a six man tag victory and now Hawk wants his own personal revenge. Hawk challenged Freebirds' leader Michael Hayes to a one on one bout looking to take out the man that injured him in the first place back in June. Hayes accepted the challenge, adding the stipulation that the match would become a lumberjack match! And so the match was set for the Ultimate Encounter..
Lumberjack Match: Michael Hayes def. Hawk (32:15) via submission with a single leg crab
AFTERSTORY: This match tore the house down! These two bitter rivals put on an unexpected showstealer as neither man would stay down. The lumberjacks did their job for the most part as aside from a few scuffles, they kept the action inside the ring. Hawk and Hayes gave literally everything they had. There were piledrivers, powerbombs, brainbusters, and powerslams all over the place. It was a hard-hitting hate filled war without a doubt as these two were clearly looking to injure the other. In the end Hawk's flurry of offense led to him being out of it himself. Hayes used his last effort to capitalize on Hawk's exhaustion and Hawk passed out in Hayes' submission hold. As Hayes was declared the victor, he dropped to the mat and his fellow Freebirds, who were lumberjacks, pulled him from the ring in celebration while Animal and Power Warrior entered from the other side to tend to Hawk. When Hawk regrouped, he was heard telling Animal that this was not over yet. FPR Management is looking at Cyber Saturday as the next chapter in this rivalry between the two teams with the stipulation to be chosen by the fans!
PRESTORY: The Horsemen's ongoing battle with Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle continues. Last month, Brian Pillman shocked many when he pinned Kurt Angle. Pillman impressed everyone watching including Angle himself. This month, it's Hogan vs Flair as the two look to settle the grudge that's been running all year. Hogan and Flair will also look to gain fans votes when it comes to Cyber Saturday and a title shot. Flair looks to keep the Horsemen streak going while Hogan looks to put the Horsemen back in their place like they did at the Great American Bash by taking down the leader.
Ric Flair def. Hulk Hogan (8:48) via Figure Four Leglock CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: The match didn't last long but it was a brawl from the get-go. The ending was a surprise to say the least as Flair attacked Hogan's legs all match and ended up locking on the figure four leglock and the referee stopped the match due to a potential leg injury from Hulk. Flair was declared the winner which stunned the audience. Flair's win puts the Horsemen at two back to back wins following their War Games loss. Needless to say, Flair was riding high after his victory over the Immortal One. The Horsemen are on a roll, how long will it last?
PRESTORY: Last month, Beer Money became #1 contenders for the tag team titles by defeating former multi-time tag champions, LAX. LAX has been on a downswing as of late and Beer Money are quick to take advantage. The Midnight Express have proven dominant with their wins over the Muta Alliance in the last several months, not to mention their Real World Tag League victory that led to the titles win. Now the Midnights defend against Beer Money. Beer Money have a huge chance here but the Midnights are one of the toughest teams in FPR. Only one team can head into Cyber Saturday as the defending champions!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Beer Money Inc. (16:25) when Eaton pinned Roode to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Beer Money controlled much of the match but out of nowhere, the Midnights pulled out the victory. It was a sudden change of pace and then the match was over just like that. Beer Money proved they belonged and will likely be back for another shot at some point. For now though, the Midnight Express carry the belts into Cyber Saturday where the fans will choose their next opponents!
PRESTORY: At Redemption, Hayabusa retained his junior championship over then-#1 contender Julian Caesaro in a back and forth bout. Caesaro worked hard to earn another title shot and at the Great American Bash, he defeated his friend Jiggle-O James Johnson in a 30 minute classic. Hayabusa continued to defeat his title challengers each month. At Final Burns last month, Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Johnson defeated Robert Evans, Christopher Daniels, and Matt Palmer in a six man tag match. Following the win, Julian made it known that he wanted another shot at the junior title, feeling as though he earned a shot. Hayabusa though wanted other competition since he had defeated Caesaro in the past. FPR Management took everything into consideration and scheduled a non-title bout between the two. Caesaro would have his chance to defeat Hayabusa and prove to everyone that he should have the next title shot while Hayabusa would have his chance to prove he wouldn't need to defend it against Caesaro again. The match was set and with the title not on the line, it guarantees the fans will choose Hayabusa's next challenger for the title.
Non-Title Match: Julian Caesaro def. Hayabusa (13:01) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: Julian Caesaro proved without a doubt that he does deserve another shot at the FPR Junior Championship! For months, no one has been able to defeat Hayabusa but here Caesaro was able to catch him with a backslide for the three count. The title was not on the line this time so Hayabusa will remain champion as he heads into Cyber Saturday where the fans will decide who gets the very next shot!
PRESTORY: Last month's Final Burns saw the Canadian Ninjas finally accomplish what they came to FPR to do, win the FPR Women's Tag Team Championships. Most didn't think the Ninjas had a shot against the dominant champions but they pulled off the upset in a thrilling contest. Now the Midwest Militia, Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay, are coming for their rematch and they want the titles back. Portia and Nicole won't give up easy and the match will surely be another must-see encounter!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: The Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews) def. Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok (23:10) when Portia pinned Kay after a wrap around DDT to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The Canadian Ninjas' victory was no fluke! Many doubted that Portia and Nicole could defeat Havok & Kay a second time but they managed to do it against all odds. Portia was able to catch Allysin with a surprise DDT that scored the three. Jessicka & Allysin were in disbelief as Portia & Nicole once again left with the gold. Now, the Canadian Ninjas will take the women's tag team championships into Cyber Saturday, where they debuted to compete for the titles last year, and for the first time the fans will decide who gets the title shot!
PRESTORY: Daizee Haze and Sara Del Rey's war has waged on and on and only gotten more heated. Things escalated when Del Rey put Daizee's friend Serena Deeb out with an injury last month. Then came the Queen's Cup which both women entered to win. Daizee, who the tournament last year, dedicated this year to the injured Serena. Daizee would end up past round 1 however in round 2, Sara Del Rey would make her presence felt and cost Daizee her match against Madison Eagles. Del Rey got her rival out of the tournament but her plan backfired when Daizee returned the favor for Del Rey's second round match against Ayako Hamada. These two have had one hell of a rivalry and after what transpired there, FPR Management signed a match between the two at the Ultimate Encounter, this time two out of three falls!
2/3 Falls Match: Sara Del Rey def. Daizee Haze (23:11) 2 falls to 0
*Del Rey pinned Daizee with a northern lights suplex (18:03)
*Del Rey pinned Daizee after a german suplex (5:08)
AFTERSTORY: Finally, Sara Del Rey has defeated Daizee Haze for the first time in FPR. These two have had a rivalry for nearly a year and Daizee seemed to always get the better of Del Rey and here the tables turned. Del Rey not only pinned Daizee but pinned her twice in two consecutive falls. Sara has seemed to unleash even more of a mean streak ever since losing at the Great American Bash. Despite defeating Daizee decisively, Sara wasn't through with her yet. Del Rey put the boots to Daizee on the mat some more after her victory. Sara then brought Daizee to her feet and hooked her arms for the Royal Butterfly, however Serena Deeb was able to make her return just in time! Sara decided to leave the ring as Serena, looking fully recovered from her injury, helped Daizee in the ring. Serena and Sara exchanged words as Del Rey slowly began up the ramp. Serena helped Daizee to her feet and stared down Del Rey from the ring. FPR Management went to work on signing a match between these two which is expected to take place next month at Cyber Saturday with the fans selecting the stipulation!
PRESTORY: After The Undertaker was taken out by everyone Drew McIntyre sent after him, last month, the Undertaker came out with a vengeance and took down Drew McIntyre. Drew went in looking to finish off Taker for good but Taker capitalized quickly on Drew's first mistake and planted him with the Last Ride. Drew was fuming after the match and could not believe he had been beaten for the third time by the Undertaker, after he had Kabuki and Mr. Hughes both do severe damage to Taker in the months prior. As a result, Drew has decided he would team up with Kabuki and Hughes to challenge Undertaker and anyone that he brought with him for a six man tag team encounter! Drew will do whatever it takes to defeat the Undertaker but that has proven to be no easy task. Taker will be at the Ultimate Encounter to take on the three men that have all tried to take him out over the summer. When the time came for the match, as would be expected Kane returned to his brother's side, but that wasn't all as the mind games continued when Undertaker and Kane were followed out by a lookalike of Sting! Not the same Sting we saw earlier in the night, but it still could throw the Great Kabuki off his game completely.
6 Man Tag Team Match: Drew McIntyre, The Great Kabuki, & Mr. Hughes def. The Undertaker, Kane, & "Sting" (18:04) when McIntyre pinned "Sting" with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Drew was able to score the major pinfall victory! The match was a total brawl and while it wasn't the Undertaker that Drew pinned, he was still riding high in celebration. Drew would waste no time in getting the mic and issuing a challenge to the Undertaker! Drew declared that they will finish this once and for all at Cyber Saturday as they face off one on one! This will be leading the stipulation into the hands of the FPR fans to determine which match type these two longtime rivals will face off in at the big event!
PRESTORY: The Queen's Cup 2011 was an excellent display of the fantastic women superstars of FPR as the tournament always is. Great matches all the way around the tournament and there were plenty of stories heading into the tournament with everyone having the motivation to win. The tournament saw debuts, returns, and several impressive runs. On the first side of the bracket, Madison Eagles entered the Queen's Cup with a promise back in July that she would win the Queen's Cup to prove herself worthy of another title shot against Victoria. Eagles felt she only lost to Victoria due to a fluke and used it as her motivation. Eagles was as impressive as ever as she marched through the Queen's Cup and in the semi-finals scored one of her biggest victories over Ayako Hamada. Eagles staked her claim and moved on to the finals which take place at The Ultimate Encounter. On the other side, we witnessed the breakthrough performance of Jessie McKay. Jessie overcame all of her opponents en route to the finals and capped it off with an extremely impressive semi-final victory over Sarita. Now the Queen's Cup finals were set and it's become one of the most anticipated matches. Madison Eagles vs Jessie McKay, the two have a storied history and now would bring it to FPR. A battle of the two Austrailia natives with only one emerging on the Queen's Cup throne!
Queen's Cup Finals: Madison Eagles def. Jessie McKay (11:45) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: The Punisher has done it! Madison Eagles promised in late July that she would win the Queen's Cup in order to prove herself worthy of another title shot. Eagles was able to defeat "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend", Jessie McKay in a competitive back and forth finals which concluded a very exciting tournament. During Eagles' celebration and coronation, she grabbed the mic and stated that if Victoria was in the building, she would challenge her for the title right then and win the championship. With Victoria not there, Eagles will have the right to a shot at the title in the near future. The fans choose the next challenger for the women's championship at Cyber Saturday!
PRESTORY: Last month, Randy Orton's destiny became a reality when he became World Heavyweight Champion. A title shot that he won by defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin for his originally earned shot. Orton laid out Terry Funk with the RKO to claim the title. Prior to that, Funk had won the gold from the Great Muta at the Great American Bash. The ending of Final Burns was chaotic as Stone Cold wanted a piece of Orton, Muta got involved, but what mattered in the end was that Orton was champion. Everyone had claims to a title shot it seemed. Austin claimed Orton stole his shot, Muta and Funk both felt owed rematches. FPR Management decided to give everyone a fair shot with the Ultimate Four Way elimination bout! Orton would defend his title against all three former champions, Funk, Austin, and Muta! Orton wasn't happy but vowed to prove himself worthy of the championship while the three challengers were all satisfied with the decision. Only one of the four men can take the title into the big event that is FPR Cyber Saturday next month where then the fans will decide who gets the title shot. Without a doubt, this main event would be The Ultimate Encounter!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk, The Great Muta, & Stone Cold Steve Austin (19:01) to RETAIN the championship!!
*Orton eliminated Austin (17:08) after a swinging neckbreaker
*Orton eliminated Funk (18:40) via RKO CRITICAL!
*Orton eliminated Muta (19:01) after an inverted neckbreaker
AFTERSTORY: What an unbelievable performance from Randy Orton! Orton proved all his critics wrong and defeated all of his opponents with his own eliminations! Everyone was stunned when Orton eliminated Steve Austin first. Austin may have let his anger get the best of him and Orton was quick to capitalize. Austin rolled out of the ring after his elimination and used the guard rail to get back to his feet. When Austin got back to his feet, the masked man that intervened in his match at the Great American Bash appeared in the crowd! However, Austin was able to duck his strike and pulled him over the rail. Austin beat him up and then removed his mask to reveal Bob Orton Jr.! Bob had not been seen since late last year and it appears he had been trying to help Randy Orton as was the case at the Bash. As the action in the ring continued, Austin beatdown Bob on the outside until he was blasted by a chairshot from a second masked man in the audience! This second masked man removed his own mask to reveal Chris Jericho!! Jericho has not been seen at all since Austin ended his career over a year ago. Soon after, security went after Jericho as he bolted from the scene. When the focus shifted back to the in-ring action, Orton once again laid out Terry Funk with a deadly RKO that took him out of the match. From there it was down to Orton and Muta and in the end Orton was able to pick up the win, eliminating all three challengers on his own. One thing is for certain and that is Randy Orton is undoubtedly the undisputed Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Now, Randy Orton will take that championship into the most unpredictable event of them all next month, Cyber Saturday! Who will the fans choose to receive the prestigious title shot? The sixth annual installment of the event promises to be a wild one with all titles on the line, major rivalries being settled, and much more!

FPR Final Burns 2011 Results! (8/27/11)
FPR Final Burns
August 27, 2011
Theme Song: Within Temptation - "Faster"
PRESTORY: The history between the Road Warriors and Freebirds over the past few months is well-documented at this point. Last month, things took a turn when the Road Warriors introduced the debuting Power Warrior to take out Michael Hayes. Animal made it clear last month that they weren't done with the Freebirds by a long shot and after the successful debut of the Power Warrior, a six-man tag team match was made that would pit Hawk, Animal, and the Power Warrior against the tandem of Hayes & Garvin joined by their ally, Buddy Roberts. The rivalry between these teams has been intense so this promised to be a chaotic brawl!
6 Man Tag Team Match: The Road Warriors (Hawk, Animal, & Power Warrior) def. The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, & Buddy Roberts) (27:54) when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit to the Power Special
AFTERSTORY: The mayhem was at a high point in this one as Power Warrior pulls through again for a Road Warrior victory over the Freebirds! Both teams brought their best as they fought hard for the win but in the end it was Jimmy Garvin being forced to submit to the Power Special. The crowd was roaring in approval as the Road Warriors stood tall for the post-match celebration, all three with their arms raised in the air in the center of the ring. Time will tell if we've seen the end of this rivalry but it is likely that the Road Warriors' thirst for revenge is not yet fulfilled and the Freebirds are still out to prove that they are the better team.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Wanderlei Silva via 2nd Round KO (0:36) after a short-arm clothesline to RETAIN the championship (5:36)
PRESTORY: Since losing the tag team championships at Bloodlines to the Midnight Express, the Latin American Xchange have been on a downward spiral of sorts. Capped off by a shocking first round elimination in the Summer Spectacular tournament to the Horsemen, LAX are now going back to their first of three losses. In the Real World Tag League block tiebreaker, Beer Money Inc defeated the then-champions LAX. Since they aren't challenging for the titles again yet, LAX challenged Beer Money and they look to avenge their defeat from several months ago. Beer Money accepted the challenge and hope to overcome the long-time dominant team and stake their claim for a future title shot.
Beer Money Inc. def. The Latin American XChange (17:45) when Roode pinned Homicide after Storm used a low blow
AFTERSTORY: An absolutely huge win for Beer Money! Using something straight out of LAX's playbook, Roode and Storm managed to overcome the former six time tag team champions and one of the most dominant teams of the last several years. As a result of their win, it has been confirmed that Beer Money will be named the number one contenders to the tag team titles and will face the champions at The Ultimate Encounter! Meanwhile, LAX continue their surprising downfall as of late with no end in sight.
PRESTORY: Last month, John Cena scored a big victory in a fatal four way over three top contenders as part of the fallout of the Road to GAB. Cena has his eyes set on challenging for the World Title but with that spot not open at the moment, Cena decided to try his luck at another championship - the International title. The Big Show has had a dominant stronghold for the better part of the past two years on the gold but Cena is looking to take it. In what is sure to be a tough challenge for Show, Cena challenges him at Final Burns!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. John Cena (14:01) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Cena came close - very close - but it just wasn't enough to topple the Giant. Big Show has proven near unstoppable for the past two years and it remains to be seen just who can stop him.
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Daizee Haze revealed her mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena's debut was a surprise to many including their opponents that night, Sara Del Rey & Amazing Kong. Serena would end up getting the pin for her team following a belly to belly suplex on Kong. Sara Del Rey was none too pleased with her increasing inability to get some kind of win over Haze and now in response, Sara has challenged Serena to a singles match. Sara looks to squash the buzz surrounding Serena's debut while Serena will be looking to continue on her roll. The match will also prove to be sort of a preview of the upcoming 3rd annual Queen's Cup tournament that will take place in the week that follows Final Burns!
Sara Del Rey def. Serena Deeb (7:09) via Royal Butterfly CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Sara Del Rey has made a statement! Del Rey came out with a fire in her eyes in a brutal onslaught of offense. Serena tried to battle back but Sara caught her with a vicious Royal Butterfly that rendered Serena in no shape to continue. Sara's victory was a huge boost for her but not only that, it has also caused huge reprecussions in the Queen's Cup tournament as Serena Deeb will now be unable to compete. We have received an official word update that Serena suffered an injury that took her out of the upcoming tournament. So to say Del Rey was out for revenge would be an understatement, she was out for blood on this night. After the bout was declared over, Daizee Haze made her way to the ring to check on her fallen friend. It is believed that Serena's injuries will not be too severe but she was stretchered out of the ring for her safety. Daizee has since promised to repeat what she did last year and win the Queen's Cup again, this time dedicating her performance to Serena.
PRESTORY: Abdullah the Butcher has taken on all comers since regaining the Hardcore Deathmatch championship at WrestleMania. This month, Mick Foley returns to the hardcore deathmatch ring and challenges Abdullah for the gold! Ironically enough, this match is actually a rematch from last year's Final Burns.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Abdullah the Butcher (13:44) after a piledriver on a barbed-wire bat to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Foley with a huge victory, avenging his loss to Abdullah a year ago and also capturing the Hardcore Deathmatch championship for the second time. Abdullah had been taking out everyone since winning the gold but Foley was able to put down the Butcher. Abdullah will be coming for his rematch at the Ultimate Encounter as only one will be able to carry the title into October, one of FPR's most popular times of the year. Abdullah was champion at that time last year but Foley will look to keep hold of the title.
PRESTORY: Last month at the Great American Bash, friends collided in a thrilling battle when Julian Caesaro pinned Jiggle-O James Johnson after a 30 minute contest. While Hayabusa disposed yet another challenger in #1 contender Robert Evans to retain the Junior Championship. Evans believes he can defeat Hayabusa with another chance while Caesaro is looked at as the top contender following his victory in last month's match of the year candidate. For Final Burns it was signed that Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Jiggle-O would team up for a six man tag team bout against Evans, Matt Palmer, and former champion Christopher Daniels.
6 Man Tag Team Match: Hayabusa, Julian Caesaro, & Jiggle-O James Johnson def. Robert Evans, Matt Palmer, & Christopher Daniels (23:26) when Hayabusa pinned Daniels with the Falcon Arrow
AFTERSTORY: Hayabusa pins Daniels in an impressive six man tag that all involved looked to make an impact. Following the match, it seemed as though there were arguments abound. Julian Caesaro motioned to Hayabusa that he would be coming for the Junior championship as he believes he's earned another shot. However, Hayabusa feels that since he has already defeated Caesaro, he can move on to other challengers. On the other side, Evans and Palmer blame Daniels for their loss as he is the one that took the pinfall. Daniels poked fun at Evans for being the one of the three that never held the junior title which made Evans want another shot even more though he'll have to earn it. FPR Management is working on a settlement to the dispute between Caesaro and Hayabusa as it pertains to the junior championship.
PRESTORY: The Great American Bash ended last month with a site of victory. America's Team overcame the Four Horsemen in War Games emerging triumphant from a hellacious battle. However, the Horsemen are not giving up easy. Ric Flair has personally selected Brian Pillman to challenge Kurt Angle one on one. Angle accepted the challenge and the match was set for Final Burns!
Brian Pillman def. Kurt Angle (18:13) with a small package
AFTERSTORY: An absolutely huge victory for Pillman as well as the Horsemen and one many would consider a major upset! Pillman pins Angle one on one and perhaps most surprisingly of all, he did it clean without the help of any Horsemen. A hard fought battle between these two went for 18 minutes before Pillman caught Angle by surprise with a small package. After the match, Angle was visibly shocked and upset at the loss and as the two returned to their feet, Angle offered his hand to his opponent in a show of respect. Pillman hesitated but seemed to consider the handshake before ducking out of the ring instead. Angle was left in the ring, disappointed as a conflicted Pillman headed backstage.
PRESTORY: It was a fast-paced brawl with an out of nowhere finish at the Great American Bash as the Midnight Express retained their titles over The Great Kabuki & Sting of the Muta Alilance. Following the show, The Great Muta demanded that his team be granted another shot at the titles, citing their impressive performance in winning the Summer Spectacular tournament as reason enough for them to get another shot. FPR Management agreed to give Sting and Kabuki one more shot at the Midnights to take place at Final Burns!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Sting & The Great Kabuki (18:38) when Eaton pinned Sting after a piledriver to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: There's no doubt to it, The Midnight Express defeated the Muta Alliance a second time and did so decisively without question. Sting and Kabuki brought the fight to the champions but it was once again a piledriver from Bobby Eaton that spelled the end. The Midnights will now ride into the Ultimate Encounter where they will defend the championships against Beer Money Inc.!
PRESTORY: Two men that were both on the losing side of things last month were the Great Muta and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Muta lost the world championship while Austin lost his shot at the title. Muta plans to still receive his rematch as soon as the opportunity opens up while Austin is hell bent on earning another shot at the title. As a result of both men's position, a match was made between the two top contenders for Final Burns. Regardless of the outcome, the match would have a major impact on the World Title picture.
The Great Muta def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (13:39) with the Moonsault
AFTERSTORY: Muta picks up one of his most impressive victories as he pins Stone Cold and cleanly at that! Austin is seen as one of the absolute toughest men to defeat but his anger over what took place last month may have gotten the best of him. Muta has proven without a doubt that he wants the world title back. Muta left the ring with the victory and would surely be watching the main event later on.
PRESTORY: Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay have been running roughshod over the women's tag team division since debuting after WrestleMania. They've defeated every team that's come their way so far and now the Canadian Ninjas have elected to stand up and challenge the champions. The champs were quick to accept and are eagerly awaiting the challenge. Can the Ninjas be enough to stop the momentum or will Havok & Kay keep on rolling? We will find out at Final Burns!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: The Canadian Ninjas def. Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay (26:08) when Nicole pinned Havok with a northern lights suplex to become the NEW Champions!!!
AFTERSTORY: Nobody saw it coming but the Canadian Ninjas have pulled it off! A massive upset as Havok and Kay were dominating with the titles but the Ninjas managed to hang on and come away with the victory. Despite not having the best of luck in their previous PPV bouts, Portia and Nicole have captured the gold that they came for ten months since their debut! Allysin and Jessicka will receive their rematch at the Ultimate Encounter where only one team will be able to emerge victorious heading into October where a year ago these titles were created. Also announced for the Ultimate Encounter is a match between two longtime tag team rivals when the Beautiful People take on Marti Belle and Jazz in a battle of former tag champions! The women's tag scene is continuing to grow in FPR.
PRESTORY: For the last several months, we have witnessed a rollercoaster ride in the rivalry of Drew McIntyre and the Undertaker. Drew pushed Taker to the limit in the King of the Ring tournament but could not come out with the win. In their rematch, Drew suffered the same fate at Redemption. And after that, Drew went on the warpath sending minions after Taker when he placed a bounty on Taker's head. The bounty was quickly snatched up by the Great Kabuki who sprayed Undertaker in the eyes with green mist before choking him out in a camel clutch. Kabuki and McIntyre double teamed Undertaker after that match. Following that, McIntyre brought Mr. Hughes to FPR to take out the Undertaker. Hughes was successful in defeating Taker at the Great American Bash. Drew has claimed to have seen Undertaker get weaker as the months went on and following his hired guns succeeded takeouts of the Undertaker in both Kabuki and Hughes, Drew announced that he would step into the ring with the Undertaker once again - one on one at Final Burns - if Taker should show up to compete. Despite the previous beatings, Taker vowed to appear at Final Burns for the match.
The Undertaker def. Drew McIntyre (9:28) after the Last Ride
AFTERSTORY: One mistake was all it took! The Undertaker capitalized and caught Drew with the Last Ride that has spelt his end so many times before. After Taker's recent losses, Drew thought he would have an easier time with the Deadman but it was not to be as despite Drew's early control and reopening Taker's cuts, Taker was able to battle back in the end. While Drew went in thinking he would finish off the Undertaker for good, Taker proved that he is not done yet. Drew was left in disbelief out in the ring and there's no doubt he is going to be livid about his loss after he could not defeat the Undertaker like those he had sent after Taker could. Drew is unlikely to leave things like this and it will be intriguing to see what happens next in this storied rivalry.
PRESTORY: Athena scored the biggest win of her career at the Great American Bash when she won the eight woman battle royal in extremely impressive fashion. Athena was responsible for half the match's eliminations and by virtue of her victory, became #1 contender to the FPR Women's Championship. Victoria has been dominant since regaining the gold from Ayako Hamada and managed to survive the onslaught of Madison Eagles last month. Athena looks to capitalize on her recent success and take the championship from Victoria but it would not be an easy task. Victoria has held the championship more times than any other and seems poised and ready to hold on to it for the near future.
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Athena (13:37) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Athena gave it her all but it wasn't enough in the end to take down the veteran.

Athena was very impressiver in her first shot at the title and it will surely not be her last. Athena will be looking for another shot at the title as soon as possible but up first for the women is the upcoming Queen's Cup taking place the first week of September! Everyone will be vying for the trophy and they will also be looking to impress in order to potentially earn a title shot.
PRESTORY: After winning the Road 2 GAB tournament, Terry Funk shocked the world when he overcame the Great Muta at the Great American Bash to become the new FPR World Heavyweight Champion. Funk was able to walk away with the gold leaving an enraged Muta and his alliance in the ring in disbelief. Funk's first title defense comes in the form of Randy Orton, who won the shot from Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Bash. Orton's title shot puts Muta's rematch on the backburner for now but there is no doubt that both Muta and Austin will have their eyes on this one.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk (13:27) via RKO CRITICAL to become the NEW FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: You could call what happened last month highway robbery at it's blatant best but the fact of the matter is Randy Orton is the new FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion! Orton defeated Terry Funk on his own merits with a devastating RKO that finished off Funk. Orton grasped the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship and held it high as the brand new title holder. His celebration would not last long however as Stone Cold Steve Austin would come charging down the ramp and into the ring, tackling the new champion to the mat! Austin unloaded with a barrage of punches to his rival and as he got to his feet, The Great Muta appeared seemingly out of nowhere! Austin turned around only to be met with green mist to the eyes! Austin went down and Muta stood over him. Orton returned to his feet, turned Muta around and looked to deliver the RKO but Muta shoved him off and dodged out of the ring. Muta retreated up the ramp, Austin looked to recover in the corner, Funk was hurting on the outside, and Orton stood tall in the ring holding his newly won championship. Chaos surrounds FPR as Final Burns comes to an end and we're on the path to the Ultimate Encounter!

August 27, 2011
Theme Song: Within Temptation - "Faster"
PRESTORY: The history between the Road Warriors and Freebirds over the past few months is well-documented at this point. Last month, things took a turn when the Road Warriors introduced the debuting Power Warrior to take out Michael Hayes. Animal made it clear last month that they weren't done with the Freebirds by a long shot and after the successful debut of the Power Warrior, a six-man tag team match was made that would pit Hawk, Animal, and the Power Warrior against the tandem of Hayes & Garvin joined by their ally, Buddy Roberts. The rivalry between these teams has been intense so this promised to be a chaotic brawl!
6 Man Tag Team Match: The Road Warriors (Hawk, Animal, & Power Warrior) def. The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, & Buddy Roberts) (27:54) when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit to the Power Special
AFTERSTORY: The mayhem was at a high point in this one as Power Warrior pulls through again for a Road Warrior victory over the Freebirds! Both teams brought their best as they fought hard for the win but in the end it was Jimmy Garvin being forced to submit to the Power Special. The crowd was roaring in approval as the Road Warriors stood tall for the post-match celebration, all three with their arms raised in the air in the center of the ring. Time will tell if we've seen the end of this rivalry but it is likely that the Road Warriors' thirst for revenge is not yet fulfilled and the Freebirds are still out to prove that they are the better team.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Wanderlei Silva via 2nd Round KO (0:36) after a short-arm clothesline to RETAIN the championship (5:36)
PRESTORY: Since losing the tag team championships at Bloodlines to the Midnight Express, the Latin American Xchange have been on a downward spiral of sorts. Capped off by a shocking first round elimination in the Summer Spectacular tournament to the Horsemen, LAX are now going back to their first of three losses. In the Real World Tag League block tiebreaker, Beer Money Inc defeated the then-champions LAX. Since they aren't challenging for the titles again yet, LAX challenged Beer Money and they look to avenge their defeat from several months ago. Beer Money accepted the challenge and hope to overcome the long-time dominant team and stake their claim for a future title shot.
Beer Money Inc. def. The Latin American XChange (17:45) when Roode pinned Homicide after Storm used a low blow
AFTERSTORY: An absolutely huge win for Beer Money! Using something straight out of LAX's playbook, Roode and Storm managed to overcome the former six time tag team champions and one of the most dominant teams of the last several years. As a result of their win, it has been confirmed that Beer Money will be named the number one contenders to the tag team titles and will face the champions at The Ultimate Encounter! Meanwhile, LAX continue their surprising downfall as of late with no end in sight.
PRESTORY: Last month, John Cena scored a big victory in a fatal four way over three top contenders as part of the fallout of the Road to GAB. Cena has his eyes set on challenging for the World Title but with that spot not open at the moment, Cena decided to try his luck at another championship - the International title. The Big Show has had a dominant stronghold for the better part of the past two years on the gold but Cena is looking to take it. In what is sure to be a tough challenge for Show, Cena challenges him at Final Burns!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. John Cena (14:01) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Cena came close - very close - but it just wasn't enough to topple the Giant. Big Show has proven near unstoppable for the past two years and it remains to be seen just who can stop him.
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Daizee Haze revealed her mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena's debut was a surprise to many including their opponents that night, Sara Del Rey & Amazing Kong. Serena would end up getting the pin for her team following a belly to belly suplex on Kong. Sara Del Rey was none too pleased with her increasing inability to get some kind of win over Haze and now in response, Sara has challenged Serena to a singles match. Sara looks to squash the buzz surrounding Serena's debut while Serena will be looking to continue on her roll. The match will also prove to be sort of a preview of the upcoming 3rd annual Queen's Cup tournament that will take place in the week that follows Final Burns!
Sara Del Rey def. Serena Deeb (7:09) via Royal Butterfly CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Sara Del Rey has made a statement! Del Rey came out with a fire in her eyes in a brutal onslaught of offense. Serena tried to battle back but Sara caught her with a vicious Royal Butterfly that rendered Serena in no shape to continue. Sara's victory was a huge boost for her but not only that, it has also caused huge reprecussions in the Queen's Cup tournament as Serena Deeb will now be unable to compete. We have received an official word update that Serena suffered an injury that took her out of the upcoming tournament. So to say Del Rey was out for revenge would be an understatement, she was out for blood on this night. After the bout was declared over, Daizee Haze made her way to the ring to check on her fallen friend. It is believed that Serena's injuries will not be too severe but she was stretchered out of the ring for her safety. Daizee has since promised to repeat what she did last year and win the Queen's Cup again, this time dedicating her performance to Serena.
PRESTORY: Abdullah the Butcher has taken on all comers since regaining the Hardcore Deathmatch championship at WrestleMania.

AFTERSTORY: Foley with a huge victory, avenging his loss to Abdullah a year ago and also capturing the Hardcore Deathmatch championship for the second time. Abdullah had been taking out everyone since winning the gold but Foley was able to put down the Butcher. Abdullah will be coming for his rematch at the Ultimate Encounter as only one will be able to carry the title into October, one of FPR's most popular times of the year. Abdullah was champion at that time last year but Foley will look to keep hold of the title.
PRESTORY: Last month at the Great American Bash, friends collided in a thrilling battle when Julian Caesaro pinned Jiggle-O James Johnson after a 30 minute contest. While Hayabusa disposed yet another challenger in #1 contender Robert Evans to retain the Junior Championship. Evans believes he can defeat Hayabusa with another chance while Caesaro is looked at as the top contender following his victory in last month's match of the year candidate. For Final Burns it was signed that Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Jiggle-O would team up for a six man tag team bout against Evans, Matt Palmer, and former champion Christopher Daniels.
