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. Victoria was able to catch Athena with the Widow's Peak for her second consecutive CRITICAL win and title defense. 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!
