FPR Final Showdown
December 30, 2014
Theme Song: Starset - My Demons
DOC def. Ryback (16:09) after the Flapjack
STORY:
DOC gets revenge for Ryback's beat down of Prince Devitt the week
before. DOC looked extremely impressive battling back against Ryback to
earn the victory. Ryback busted him open early on but DOC was able to
make the comeback in impressive fashion.
Gail Kim & Taryn Terrell def. Madison Rayne & Maryse (28:40) when Gail pinned Maryse with a fisherman's suplex
STORY:
Taryn Terrell debuted in the beat the clock challenge teaming with Gail
Kim against the veteran duo of the Beautiful People and impressed from
the get go. The two teams fought but didn't have a conclusion as neither
beat the clock but it was clear they wanted to keep going so a rematch
was set for Final Showdown and the new team picked up a huge victory.
Needless to say the Beautiful People weren't happy afterwards and this
is likely to continue.
Dolph Ziggler def. Jerry Lawler (11:39) via Zig Zag CRITICAL
STORY:
Dolph Ziggler avenges his previous loss with an emphatic statement!
Lawler looked to be in control for most of the match, including busting
Ziggler open again but Dolph battled back and finished off the King with
the Zig Zag for the big win.
Miss DissLexia def. Melanie Cruise (13:53) with a small package
STORY:
In what has to be considered a major upset, relative newcomer Miss
DissLexia was able to pin the full of momentum Melanie Cruise. Cruise
looked to be in control when Lexia caught her with a series of rollups,
eventually pinning her down with a small package for the three. She
escaped with the victory, leaving Cruise seething in the ring. Melanie
won't let that die down easy so of course there will be a rematch at the
Royal Battle.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Sheamus & Kane (19:41) to retain the championship
*Kane eliminated Sheamus (16:13)
*Big Show eliminated Kane (19:14)
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Don Frye via TKO (punches) at 1:14 of round 2 to retain the championship
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Road Warriors def. The Rock 'n'
Roll Express (20:38) when Hawk pinned Morton with a powerbomb to RETAIN
the championships!
STORY: The Rock 'n' Roll Express beat the
clock in an impactful way when they defeated the legendary Midnight
Express in shockingly quick fashion in just over 15 minutes, a rarity
against the dominant former multi-time champions. It was clear they had a
strategy going in against the Road Warriors to use their speed to their
advantage against the bigger champions but it didn't work out for the
challengers. The Road Warriors were able to keep their opponents
grounded and pull off another successful title defense in another
classic tag team encounter. Next up, they will face their biggest rivals
from the past in the Freebirds after what took place at Survival of the
Sickest.
Angelina Love def. Jessie McKay (11:57) after Lights Out
STORY:
These two met in the Beat the Clock challenge and Jessie McKay was
moments away from earning one final shot at the championship when
Angelina decided to run out the clock for the final minutes of the
match. McKay was left in obvious disappointment and full of rage towards
Angelina. Here they met again and it seems McKay's frustrations got the
best of her as Angelina was able to defeat her in a back and forth
match. It's a major win for Angelina to pin the recent number one
contender while McKay takes the defeat as a big obstacle thrown her way.
Angelina's win caught most everyone by surprise and now McKay has
promised to avenge the defeat at the Royal Battle while Angelina clearly
has title aspirations of her own.
Steel Cage Match: Kana def. Paige (17:42) via heel hold submission
STORY:
Looking to finally settle things, Paige and Kana were sent in to the
steel cage for a hellish affair. Kana controlled early but Paige battled
back and looked like she would do it again until she got caught in the
end. Kana forced Paige into submission and left the cage as the winner.
Junior Championship Match: Hideo Itami def. Ultimo Dragon (11:19) after the Busaiku Knee to become the NEW Champion!
STORY:
Out of nowhere, a new champion is crowned! The recently rechristened
Hideo Itami has been with FPR since nearly the very beginning but was
never able to capture any gold despite numerous attempts. Now with a new
attitude and back with a vengeance, Itami smashed Tyson Kidd in under 5
minutes to earn a shot at the junior championship where he went on to
blast Ultimo Dragon with the Busaiku Knee to become champion for the
first time! It was a highly competitive match and the unpredictability
of the event seemed to have Ultimo off his game as he loses the title.
These two will rematch at Royal Battle while the contenders continue to
line up alongside the upcoming Super J Cup. The junior division
continues to be stacked!
Women's
Tag Team Championships Match: Meiko Satomura & Sumie Sakai def.
Sara Del Rey & Kellie Skater (26:14) when Satomura pinned Skater
after the Death Valley Bomb to become the NEW Champions!
STORY:
It didn't last long for Del Rey & Skater! Meiko & Sumie took it
to the champs in a long grueling battle for the gold and ended up
becoming the new champions. Kellie & Sara obviously didn't take well
to their plan going up in smoke so quick. This also affects former
champs Marti Belle & Jazz awaiting their rematch as now these two
teams will meet again at the Royal Battle. One thing Sara & Kellie
did for sure is shake up the women's tag title scene with their recent
approach.
Hardcore Deathmatch
Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Bam Bam Bigelow (10:31)
after a throat thrust to RETAIN the championship!
STORY: Ric
Flair thought he found the answer when Bam Bam Bigelow beat the clock
for the hardcore deathmatch championship shot but not even the Beast
from the East could dethrone the Butcher. Bigelow was looked at as a
potential hired gun of sorts for the Horsemen but Abdullah took him down
and out and added him to his list of victims in the deathmatch ring.
Who challenges next looks to be up in the air at this point.
Women's Championship Match: Daizee Haze def. Serena Deeb (7:30) with a rollup to RETAIN the championship!
STORY:
Daizee Haze proves why she is the best with another successful defense!
Somewhat shockingly, this was Serena Deeb's first ever shot at the
championship, despite countless memorable bouts over the last several
years. Serena earned her shot in a mild upset over current number one
contender, Jessie Belle, in the beat the clock challenge catching her by
surprise. This match was a quick sprint from both women and Daizee was
able to spin around Serena with a swift rollup to retain her
championship. Serena was obviously disappointed but shook hands with the
champ Daizee as they remain longtime friends. Daizee next will defend
against Jessie Belle at the Royal Battle.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena def. Sid Vicious
(11:21) after a belly to belly suplex to RETAIN the championship!
STORY:
Cena vanquishes the monster, perhaps once and for all! In the third of
the series between these two, Cena once again overcame Sid to retain his
championship. Sid took out Cena's friend and partner, Hulk Hogan in the
beat the clock challenge to earn one more shot at the title but Cena
overcame the odds and pinned the monster for a third and final time.
It's been a hell of a year for John Cena, who ends the year as the FPR
Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Cena's road to redemption couldn't have
been any better as we end 2014 and the champ is here!
©FPR Final
Showdown 2014. FPR ends a very successful year of events and now heads
in to year 13 with tons of momentum. 2015 kicks off with the Royal
Battle in January, headlined by the battle itself alongside Daizee Haze
vs Jessie Belle, championship rematches, and more!
2014 Year End Awards
Wrestler of the Year: Daizee Haze
Without
a doubt, the award has to go to the dominant womens' champion Daizee
Haze. Daizee held her championship for the entire year while also
putting on several of the year's best matches.
Match of the Year: Sabu vs. Jared Steele (Barbed Wire Ropes Match) (Cyber Saturday 10/18/14)
A
match that had it all and couldn't have been more perfectly executed.
The excitement was off the charts and had fans on the edge of their
seats. With call backs to their previous match, the ring exploding, and
an unbelievable, unforgettable finish put this one over as the best
match of 2014. And credit to the fans who voted on the stipulation!
Runner Ups:
2. Daizee Haze vs. Jessie McKay (WrestleMania IX, 3/29/14),
3. Randy Orton vs. Abdullah the Butcher (Hardcore Deathmatch) (Collision Course, 11/15/14)
4. Daizee Haze vs. Amazing Kong (New Beginnings Night 2, 1/2/14)
5. Madison Eagles vs. Candice Michelle (Bloodlines, 6/22/14)
Story of the Year: Flair sets Bounty on Abdullah the Butcher
This
was a big one that continues to this day as no one has been able to
dethrone the Butcher. After Abdullah ended the miraculous hardcore
deathmatch championship run of Ric Flair, an enraged Flair placed a
$10,000 bounty on the head of Abdullah to be won by whomever could
defeat him. Abdullah has tore through a plethora of challengers and this
story is continuing in to the new year!
Runner Up: John Cena's Road of Redemption
Breakout Star of the Year: Jessie McKay
While
Jessie McKay has been in FPR since her debut in 2011 and she was
perhaps put on the mat with her memorable battles against Madison
Eagles, it was her match against Daizee Haze at WrestleMania IX that
really showed her to be one of the very best at the very top of the
division. McKay had an incredible year but was unfortunately unable to
end the year on a high note like she had hoped for. Either way, McKay
hopes to make 2015 her year.
Tag Team of the Year: Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger
Cesaro
& Swagger entered the year as the champions and enjoyed quite a
reign before trading the titles back and forth with CM Punk & Daniel
Bryan and later on losing the titles to the Road Warriors. The multiple
reigns and classic matches puts them forth as the best tag team of the
year. In recent times, the duo seems to have turned the corner towards
fan favorites together as they look to regroup for 2015.
