PRESTORY: Throughout December, the 5th annual Guerrero Cup tag team tournament took place. The two teams that made it to the finals were the Road Warriors and former tag team champions, Team 3D. The Road Warriors had their most impressive showing in a very long time while 3D skyrocketed back into the tag team scene after a long absence. 3D's biggest win in the tournament thus far had been over the Hardyz in the semi finals. The Hardyz had been looking to get into the tag title picture but it was not to be. On the other side, The Road Warriors overcame last year's tournament winners, Beer Money Inc. in a great battle that both teams put great effort into.

AFTERSTORY: Team 3D win their tournament and get a shot at the tag team titles. It was a big win over the legendary Road Warriors and Team 3D would go on to face the tag team champions, the Briscoes later on in the night

PRESTORY: Bryan Danielson eliminated Yoshinari Ogawa in the elimination 8 man tag at Survival of the Sickest. Danielson along with the rest of Team Angle would go on to win the match. Ogawa wanted a one on one match with Danielson to prove that he could beat him when there was nobody else in the match. Danielson, feeling confident, gladly accepted the challenge.
Yoshinari Ogawa def. Bryan Danielson (4:34) via victory roll
AFTERSTORY: Ogawa beat Danielson and not only that, he did so in record time! Ogawa caught Danielson with a quick rollup and gained the three count in under five minutes. As would be expected, Danielson was livid about his loss. Danielson didn't waste anytime in making a challenge for Final Showdown should neither man win one of the beat the clock challenges.

PRESTORY: Survival of the Sickest saw the feud between Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, and Trish against The Beautiful People continue in a big way. They defeated the Beautiful People but after the match, Lacey Von Erich debuted and injured Gail Kim. Madison Rayne and Maryse challenged Lita and Victoria to a tag team match after Trish had challenged Von Erich to fight in Gail's place.

AFTERSTORY: Another big win over the Beautiful People in a great matchup. Lita caught Maryse out of nowhere with a victory roll to get the win for her team.


PRESTORY: At Survival of the Sickest, Jushin Liger's team had a clean sweep against their opposition. JT Lamotta was the last man eliminated in that match and with no official number one contender, he was granted a shot at Liger's junior championship.
Junior Championship Match: Jushin Liger def. JT Lamotta (11:13) after a brainbuster to RETAIN the championship!


PRESTORY: Last month at Survival of the Sickest, we saw two debuts of Alissa Flash and Maria Menounos on opposite teams. Alissa debuted as a part of Team Mickie James and quickly formed an impressive partnership with fellow team member, Claudia. Maria Menounos came in to FPR as a close friend of team captain, Candice Michelle. Both were impressive in their debuts and as a result of their in ring altercations, they were booked to face each other one on one.
Alissa Flash def. Maria Menounos (11:35) after a discus lariat
AFTERSTORY: Alissa picked up the big win here in another good matchup as she climbs the ranks of the women's division as the division continues to become stronger and stronger. Both women were again impressive here and would surely meet in the ring again.

PRESTORY: Last month at Survival of the Sickest, The Foundation finally defeated the Faithful. Though the Faithful had finally been defeated, Faithful member The Big Show still held the International Championship. Bret Hart wanted to put the final nail in the Faithful and challenged Show to a title match to try and take the title away from the Faithful and into the Foundation.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Bret Hart (12:42) when Show choked out Bret to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Bret was unsuccessful in his title aspiration as Big Show was able to defeat him and keep hold of the gold. Show continues to look dominant in his one on one bouts since ending the year + reign of Mark Henry. Who can stop The Big Show?

PRESTORY: As noted above, last month saw the debut of Lacey Von Erich. Lacey entered the ring following the Stratusfaction vs Beautiful People elimination tag match and delivered a brutal Clawslam to Gail Kim, putting her out of action. Trish Stratus, the team captain, challenged Von Erich to face her one on one at Eve of Destruction.
Lacey Von Erich def. Trish Stratus (19:15) after a punch with brass knuckles
AFTERSTORY: This match turned out to be a brawl all over the place with definite hatred. Lacey surprised pretty much everyone in going toe to toe with Trish. Trish ended up busting open Lacey on the outside. Trish was able to survive Lacey's deadly Clawslam, but Lacey also took Stratusfaction. In the end, Lacey used a pair of brass knuckles and delivered a vicious punch to Trish's head which knocked her out for the three count. It was definitely a major win for Von Erich and some points in The Beautiful People's favor. A win that definitely pleased all the members of TBP.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Brock Lesnar shocked the world when he ended the three year reign of Bob Sapp as Octagon Champion. Lesnar became champion and he didn't feel like Sapp deserved an immediate rematch. They met again in a non-title fight which Sapp won to prove his worth. At Survival of the Sickest, they led opposite teams against each other in a match where the stipulation agreement was that if Sapp's team won he'd get his rematch but if Team Lesnar won then Lesnar could continue his reign without giving Sapp a rematch. Sapp's team won the match and ensured his rematch would take place here at Eve of Destruction.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Brock Lesnar via 2nd Round KO (1:28) after a short arm clothesline (6:28) to become the NEW Champion
AFTERSTORY: Bob Sapp has become Octagon Champion once again. The most dominant champion of all time has begun yet another reign and looks primed to dominate the division once again. Who will be able to stop The Beast this time around and will he rule for another three years?

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Mick Foley was voted into the Hardcore Deathmatch championship match and won the title from Raven. Foley's win seemed to revitalize his career and give him a new start here in FPR while he defeated Raven, who has been the kingpin of the hardcore division for years. Foley won the championship and told Raven to earn his rematch in the Chamber of Horrors. While Foley went on to make a statement at Halloween Havoc, when he defeated FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Mick Foley in a non-title cage match. Raven went on to win the Chamber of Horrors to guarentee his rematch while Foley hasn't let anyone forgot he beat the champ. At Survival of the Sickest, Foley led his team over Raven's and now the stage was set for their rematch.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Raven (8:55) after a piledriver on a lighttube to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Foley defeated Raven and cemented his status as the new top dog in the Hardcore Division. Raven's definitely not happy with Foley having the gold but for now he's going to have to live with it. Foley's been all over the map since winning the title, involving himself in the world title scene as well, and we'll have to wait and see where this all goes next!

PRESTORY: Earlier in the night, Team 3D defeated The Road Warriors to win the Guerrero Cup and earn their shot at the tag team titles held by the Briscoes.
World Tag Team Championship Match: Team 3D def. The Briscoes (15:45) when Ray pinned Jay after the Bubba Bomb to become the NEW Champions!
AFTERSTORY: Team 3D are officially back. It has been years since 3D have held the tag team gold much like The Briscoes at the end of 2008. 3D end the Briscoes reign and become champions once again. The Briscoes have had one hell of a year in 2009 but it seems like they won't end the year as champions. It will be interesting to see the direction the tag team title scene takes as Team 3D are now the champions.

PRESTORY: At Survival of the Sickest, Team Mickie defeated Team Candice. The win came largely due to Claudia garnering the last three eliminations. Claudia lastly eliminated Gina Carano to win the match for her team. Her impressive performance, which included eliminating the champion herself, made her the number one contender once again to Candice Michelle's championship belt.
Women's Championship Match: "Best in the World" Candice Michelle def. "Angel of Mercy" Claudia (8:11) after a russian legsweep to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Candice was able to retain her title and have another great showing. Candice and Claudia have had a very heated rivalry and one of the top feuds of the year and Candice picked up one more victory over Claudia to retain the belt over her longtime enemy.

PRESTORY: At Halloween Havoc, following the Hulk Hogan-Mick Foley steel cage match, the two were ambushed by Randy Orton and Sid, who were brought to the ring by the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase. DiBiase proclaimed that at Survival of the Sickest his Million Dollar Team would go against Hogan's team. In the weeks to come Hogan formed his team to consist of Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior, later forcing a last minute replacement addition to his team of Mick Foley. DiBiase's team consisted of himself, Orton, Sid and his son Ted DiBiase Jr. In the end it was DiBiase Jr. eliminating Hogan and Savage to get the win for his team. The win, which was huge for DiBiase Jr.'s debut, skyrocketed him into Fire Pro R like no one before him. Orton and Sid were a bit miffed that Ted Jr. was getting the shot over them but they accepted it because of the victory he did earn.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Hulk Hogan def. Ted DiBiase Jr. (8:47) via CRITICAL after the Leg Drop to RETAIN the championship!!!
AFTERSTORY: DiBiase Jr. may have picked up two big pins at Survival of the Sickest but taking on Hulk Hogan must have been too much, too soon, for the brash newcomer. Hogan gained quick revenge for Survival of the Sickest, cementing his victory with a CRITICAL on Ted Jr. Hulkamania ran wild and the entire Million Dollar corporation were none too pleased.


(In the days that followed Eve of Destruction, beat the clock challenges were held to determine the challengers for each championship at Final Showdown)

http://www.viddler.com/explore/tigerXgroge/videos/31/



PRESTORY: The Beat the Clock challenge to name the number one contender for the women's championship saw the FPR debut of Hamada. Hamada debuted against Shinobu Kandori and was extremely impressive. Hamada was able to pin Kandori but it was seconds after the time set had passed. Kandori was not going to forget that as she had recently been trying to reassure her dominance in the division. Kandori challenged Hamada to a rematch to take place at Final Showdown.
Shinobu Kandori def. Hamada (9:21) via side armbar CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Kandori certainly evened the score here and did damage to Hamada's arm. But it was not without a fight. Hamada gave it her all and was moments away from victory when Kandori got her in the armbar for the victory. We surely haven't seen the last.

The Miracle Violence Connection def. Vader & Bam Bam Bigelow (12:37) when Gordy CRITICAL'd Vader
AFTERSTORY: A classic tag team match relived and the Miracle Violence Connection picked up a huge victory!

Fatal 4 Way Match: Evan Bourne def. JT Lamotta, Rey Mysterio, & Matt Palmer (14:03) when he pinned Palmer with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Bourne gained a huge victory as he pinned Palmer just as Mysterio had almost pinned Lamotta. Bourne will get another shot at the champinoship in the near future!

PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Ogawa caught Danielson in the rollup that got him the win in under 5 minutes. Danielson challenged him to a rematch and as neither man beat the clock, Danielson got his rematch and it took place at Final Showdown
Bryan Danielson def. Yoshinari Ogawa (13:50) with a fisherman's suplex
AFTERSTORY: Danielson avenged his previous loss to Ogawa here and what a battle it was. Ogawa came close again but Danielson delivered move after move refusing to give Ogawa an edge. In the end Danielson hit a series of suplex variations to finally hold Ogawa down for the three count.

PRESTORY: In the International beat the clock, The Great Muta defeated Desmond Wolfe to beat the clock in the last match in the set. Muta would advance to Final Showdown for an international title shot against The Big Show.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. The Great Muta (11:52) after a running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship

PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Alissa Flash defeated Maria Menounos. The two met again in Beat the Clock where Alissa beat Maria to beat the then-clock by a second. The time would later be beaten though and Alissa would not get the title shot. Alissa tagged up with Claudia, as they were a very formidable duo at Survival of the Sickest and accepted a challenge sent by Maria Menounos who wanted another shot at Alissa. Menounos tagged up with fellow Team Candice member, Wendi Richter.
Maria Menounos & Wendi Richter def. Claudia & Alissa Flash (29:46) when Menounos pinned Claudia with a small package
AFTERSTORY: A great match and Maria Menounos got the victory this time and finally got one over on Alissa Flash. Richter and Maria made quite the team themselves against the Alissa/Claudia team that has proven to work very well together. Menounos scored a huge pinfall victory with a small package out of nowhere on the former women's champion in Claudia. Needless to say, Alissa and Claudia were both irate after the match. This feud has definitely been a heated one!

PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Bob Sapp once again became Octagon Champion. Brock Lesnar was unable to get his rematch as he did not beat the clock. It was Scott Steiner that beat the clock when he beat Bobby Lashley in the Octagon. Steiner would go on to fight Sapp in Sapp's first defense of his new reign.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Scott Steiner via 2nd Round KO (0:20) after the Beast Bomb (5:20)

PRESTORY: At Survival of the Sickest, Lacey Von Erich debuted and put Gail Kim out of action. At Eve of Destruction, Lacey had her first match scoring an upset victory over Trish Stratus. After Eve of Destruction it was announced that Gail Kim would make her return to challenge Von Erich to a match at Final Showdown!
Lacey Von Erich def. Gail Kim (14:38) after the Clawslam
AFTERSTORY: Lacey managed to pull off the victory again. Perhaps, Gail returned from injury a bit too soon. The Beautiful People joined Lacey in the ring and looked to inflict further damage on Gail but Trish, Lita, and Victoria ran to the ring to make the save. It led to a standoff between the two groups but the Beautiful People left with this victory from Lacey who remains undefeated!

PRESTORY: Frankie Kazarian won the beat the clock challenge to face Jushin Liger for the Junior Championship. On most occasions throughout the year Kazarian was on the same side as Liger, the two had not met one on one in the ring since Liger defeated him at Final Burns 2008. Kazarian though had earned another shot at the title by winning his match in the quickest time.
Junior Championship Match: Frankie Kazarian def. Jushin Liger (15:15) after the Wave of the Future to become the NEW Champion!!!!
AFTERSTORY: Kazarian did it! Kazarian upset Liger in what has to be considered a major upset. Liger was almost reaching a full year as champion and was heading into 2010 with confidence. Liger dominated a majority of the bout but the action spilled outside where Kazarian took the advantage. Upon heading back into the ring, Frankie surprised Liger with the Wave of the Future and gained the huge pinfall victory. There's no doubt Liger will be getting a rematch, likely at Royal Battle, as we are once again in the months leading up to WrestleMania V and that means the 2010 Super J Cup is only a month away.

PRESTORY: Kevin Nash won the Hardcore Division's beat the clock in dominating fashion. Nash would go on to get his shot at Mick Foley in the hardcore deathmatch environment with the title on the line.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Kevin Nash (17:35) after a piledriver to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: A bloody war it was and many thought Nash would have the title won but in the end, Foley pulled it off again. Foley has definitely had a hell of a run these past few months and he heads into 2010 with a lot of steam. He is the hardcore deathmatch champion and sources say he will be entering his name in the Royal Battle as soon as the chance arises. The Royal Battle of course will see the winner receive a Worlds Heavyweight Title shot at WrestleMania V.

PRESTORY: Shawn Michaels and Triple H teamed up to reform their D-Generation X tag team for the beat the clock challenge and ended up winning the whole thing. The two have not teamed in FPR before but they're doing so turned out very well for them. They would then be the ones to get the very first shot at newly crowned tag team champions, Team 3D.
World Tag Team Championship Match: Team 3D def. D-Generation X (29:08) when Devon pinned Michaels after Saving Grace to RETAIN the championships
AFTERSTORY: Team 3D managed to keep hold of their belts for now. It was definitely a tough competitive battle that saw DX on the verge of winning several times. Team 3D head into the new year as champions but they'll definitely have some competition ahead of them. DX want another shot, The Briscoes still have their rematch upcoming and on the same boat, Edge & Christian have not yet received their rematch from losing the belts back at Halloween Havoc! The tag team scene is certainly a wild one.

PRESTORY: In September 2009, Gina Carano made her FPR Debut in the first annual Queen's Cup. Carano took the women's division by storm and ended up winning the tournament, looking extremely impressive in doing so, capping it off with a win in the finals over Awesome Kong. Following the tournament, Carano became embroiled in a rivalry with Shinobu Kandori, who was not impressed by Carano. The two would meet in a K1 Rules match at Cyber Saturday. Carano won the match and remained undefeated. At Survival of the Sickest, Candice Michelle brought Carano onto her team as the hired gun of sorts for her team. Their team was unsuccessful with Carano being the last eliminated by Claudia. She remained however undefeated in singles competition. Carano got her revenge in Beat the Clock when she beat Claudia to set the time. Carano won the challenge and would go on to challenge the FPR Women's champion, the Best in the World, Candice Michelle.
Women's Championship Match: "Queen of FPR" Gina Carano def. "Best in the World" Candice Michelle (16:07) via submission to become the NEW Champion!!!!
AFTERSTORY: Gina Carano has become FPR Women's Champion! Carano and Candice put on one hell of a match, as expected. Carano had plenty of momentum coming in undefeated but Candice is known as one of the greatest FPR Women's champions of all time. Carano managed to defeat Candice and claim the women's championship for the first time. After the match Candice and Carano shook hands in a show of respect from both as they will surely meet in the ring again and probably soon at that.

PRESTORY: The hatred between the Foundation and Faithful is one that will likely never end. The two faction leaders met in the Beat the Clock challenge and Mike Foxx defeated Bret Hart to beat the clock. Foxx earned himself a world title shot and proclaimed that his forthcoming victory would be the rebirth of the Faithful as he challenged Hulk Hogan.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Hulk Hogan def. Mike Foxx (11:05) after the Leg Drop to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: Hogan defeats Foxx and remains World Champion! Hulk Hogan has had his best career year in a long, long time, in 2009. From winning King of the Ring to becoming Worlds Heavyweight Champion for the first time in four years. Hogan's reign has been quite the ride so far as Hulkamania has ran wild through Fire Pro once again. As we look forward to FPR in 2010, we are sure to see some more bright things!

©FPR Eve of Destruction/FPR Final Showdown 2009 - The final shows of 2009! Comments, questions, requests, feedback of all sorts are appreciated as always. FPR's next PPV broadcast will be the 2010 Royal Battle as the Road to WrestleMania V begins!

Also don't forget to check out the 2009 FPR YEAR END AWARDS:
WRESTLER OF THE YEAR: HULK HOGAN Hogan suffered an injury in January 2009 but bounced back with a return at WrestleMania IV in March. Hogan won the King of the Ring tournament in April and held onto his momentum through the summer. Hogan won the Worlds Heavyweight Championship in August at Final Burns when he defeated Yoshinari Ogawa. Immediately after the match, Randy Orton cashed in his money in the bank title shot but Hogan was able to trump him too! Following that, Hogan resumed his feud with the man that injured him in January, the masked giant Colossus. Hogan/Colossus' feud reached new heights and on September 9, 2009 they signed the contract to meet in the ring raising the stakes higher than ever before when Hogan put his championship belt on the line against the mask of Colossus. They met at the Ultimate Encounter and Hogan was once again victorious, this time winning the mask of Colossus and forcing him to unmask which revealed Sid! (Sid had quit FPR in November 2008 after failing to win the World Title from Bruiser Brody). Hogan continued his reign on to Cyber Saturday where you the fans voted Stone Cold Steve Austin in to face him in a Last Man Standing Match. Hogan again defied the odds and defeated the rattlesnake in a grueling 17 minute match. Hogan then headlined Halloween Havoc in a non-title steel cage match against Hardcore Deathmatch Champion, Mick Foley. Foley was victorious and a post-match assault from Orton and Sid led to the main event of Survival of the Sickest where the Million Dollar Team (Orton, Sid, DiBiase, and DiBiase Jr.) defeated Hogan's Hulkamaniacs team which consisted of himself, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, and a last minute replacement partner in Mick Foley who promised Hogan he would owe him one for his services. In the SOTS matchup, Ted DiBiase Jr (who was making his debut) was the one that pinned Hogan and Savage in the end to win it for his team. This earned Ted a shot at Hogan's championship which was held at Eve of Destruction. Hogan took on the newcomer and showed him he was in for too much, too soon, CRITICALing him with a deadly leg drop! The days that followed Eve of Destruction featured Beat the Clock challenges to determine Hogan's challenger for the final show of the year, Final Showdown. Mike Foxx was the man who beat the clock with a victory over his arch-nemesis, Bret Hart (2008 wrestler of the year). Foxx got his shot at Final Showdown but Hogan was once again able to overcome and retain his gold. Hulkamania has ran wild all over 2009!!

TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR: THE BRISCOES No tag team came close to having the year that the Briscoes had. Every time you thought they were out, they bounced right back. And in the most impressive of ways too. At Final Showdown 2008, The Briscoes ended 2008 and started 2009 with the biggest bang possible, they ended the one year long title reign of The Big Show & Hardcore Holly - shocking absolutely everyone. The Briscoes reign was short-lived however as they would lose the belts to LAX at Valentine's Massacre in February. However the Briscoes wouldn't give up there as they won the titles right back the following month at WrestleMania IV. Following that, LAX won a contenders match to earn their next rematch in which they defeated the Briscoes again this time in a Texas Tornado tag team match. Around this time, the Real World Tag League took place which prevented the Briscoes from getting a rematch at Bloodlines. LAX held onto the belts (over Big Show & Holly at that) and the Briscoes were pressed to find another way to the tag team titles. Soon, FPR Management announced the first ever FPR Summer Spectacular tag team tournament to coincide with the Road 2 GAB singles tournament. The Briscoes entered and through some massive competition and despite all the odds, they came out the winners in a 32 team tournament to prove undoubtedly that they deserved the tag team title shot no questions asked. They had proven themselves on that night unlike any team before them. The Briscoes would go on to regain the titles at the Great American Bash in the most spectacular finish of the year (more on that later). The Briscoes-LAX feud would not end there as LAX won the belts back at Final Burns only for the Briscoes to gain them back immediately at the Ultimate Encounter. With that win, The Briscoes felt in the clear of LAX as they knew the fans would be picking their next opponents at Cyber Saturday. However, they didn't know quite who to expect. The fans voted in Edge & Christian, who came in and shocked the Briscoes into defeat. The Briscoes however as they always did, bounced right back and won the belts back the following week at Halloween Havoc. The Briscoes would hold onto the gold as the reigning champions during the Guerrero Cup tag team tournament to crown #1 contenders. The tournament was won by Team 3D who would go on to defeat the Briscoes to end their last championship reign of 2009. The Briscoes are sure to start 2010 remaining in the title picture.

WOMAN OF THE YEAR: CANDICE MICHELLE For the second year in a row, Candice Michelle is the FPR woman of the year. Candice ended 2008 with losing her championship and in 2009 she began alongside Gail Kim feuding with Maryse and Claudia. Candice and Claudia have had a very long running feud and as 2009 progressed, their rivalry grew hotter. Candice being aligned with Bret Hart and the Foundation while Claudia came into FPR under Mike Foxx and is a member of his Faithful. Candice and Claudia met in a super grudge match at WrestleMania in which Candice was the victor. Meanwhile Tiger Dream had been womens' champion since Final Showdown 08 and carried it into 09 with a heck of a reign. Candice's win over Claudia at Mania made her the number one contender to the title. However on the road to getting there, Tiger Dream was upset by Maryse in Mexico City. With Maryse as the new champion, Candice challenged her at Redemption and went on to win the gold once again. Following the match, Candice's never-ending rival, Claudia, attacked once again, furthering the feud with the Foundation and the Faithful. At Bloodlines, they met in a mixed tag match where Foxx and Claudia defeated Candice and Hart, which led to Claudia being named #1 contender. Their match was signed for the Great American Bash on a night where the Foundation and Faithful would meet in War Games. As they prepared to wrestle, Candice asked for the steel cage to be lowered early and she wanted Claudia in the cage. Candice's rage may have got the best of her as Claudia finally became women's champion at the Great American Bash. At Final Burns they would meet again, this time in a 2/3 falls match where Candice regained the gold in 2 straight falls. As September began so did the first annual FPR Queen's Cup which got the women's division hotter than ever. At the Ultimate Encounter, Candice once again defeated Claudia decisively to put a temporary end to their rivalry. Candice went on to Cyber Saturday where the fans voted in her opponent. The fans vote ended up a tie between Awesome Kong and Trish Stratus which led FPR management to declare a three way for the belt. The odds were stacked against the champion big time but she did it again, Candice retained over Kong and Trish in a triple threat encounter. Also at Cyber Saturday, Mickie James became #1 contender winning the fulfill your fantasy battle royal. Mickie would receive her shot at Halloween Havoc where Candice was able to beat her as well. Candice offered a handshake after the match to Mickie which was accepted. Mickie then turned and violently attacked Candice, challenging her to meet her in the ring again for an 8 woman tag at Survival of the Sickest. Mickie's team defeated Candice's team largely in part to the final three eliminations from Claudia. Claudia's dominance in that match made the Angel of Mercy once again the number one contender to her biggest rival's belt. At Eve of Destruction, Candice defeated Claudia one more time as Candice continued to prove why she earned the moniker of Best in the World in 2008. Gina Carano beat the clock and would get her long awaited title shot at Final Showdown. Carano won the Queen's Cup and now she would get her shot. In a classic matchup, Carano got the victory over Candice and became women's champion for the first time. After the match the two friends shook hands in a great moment. It was a great 2009 for the Best in the World and Candice looks forward to big things in 2010.

FEUD OF THE YEAR: THE FAITHFUL VS THE FOUNDATION It began in 2008 with the Faithful (Mike Foxx, King Umaga, The Big Show, & Hardcore Holly) against The Foundation (Bret Hart, Samoa Joe, Kane, & The Undertaker). It really kicked into high gear at Survival of the Sickest 2008 when the Faithful defeated the Foundation and looked to take over FPR. From there Foxx and Umaga severely injured Samoa Joe at Day of Destruction 08. Kane gained a big one for the Foundation when he won the worlds heavyweight championship at Final Showdown and as 2009 began King Umaga won the Royal Battle for the Faithful and for the right to face Kane at WrestleMania IV. On that same show, Kane retained his belt over Faithful leader, Mike Foxx. At Valentine's Massacre, one of the biggest matches was held when Foundation leader, Bret Hart, put his career on the line against King Umaga and his WrestleMania title shot. (Umaga vs Bret was the 2008 feud of the year as well as 2008 match of the year). Umaga would win that match and afterwards when it looked as though Umaga and Foxx would do further damage to Bret, Samoa Joe made his shocking return to chase them off. Joe challenged Foxx to a last man standing match at Mania where if Foxx won, Joe would join the Faithful but if Joe won, Bret would be re-instated. Joe would go on to win the match and bring Bret back into the mix. Kane and Umaga would trade the title back and forth, Bret and Foxx met several times to resume their rivalry included a lumberjack match and a mixed tag match. All to culminate in the two factions meeting once again in the main event of the Great American Bash inside of War Games. As well as the two factions' leading ladies meeting in a cage as well when Claudia defeated Candice. They met in War Games where the Faithful was once again victorious after Foxx shot a fireball into the face of the Undertaker to give them the win and put Taker out of action for months. King Umaga then injured Foundation friend, Franco D'Angelo at Final Burns as the Faithful felt on top of the world again. At Cyber Saturday, the fans voted one person from each group to step into the ring and the way it turned out, King Umaga defeated Samoa Joe. At Survival of the Sickest, the two teams agreed to meet in one last 8 man tag against each other. The match featured the return of the Undertaker and this time the Foundation got the victory finally. That match was an ending of sorts, but the hatred between the two groups is one that will never die and one that will rise again each and everytime two members go at it in the ring.

MATCH OF THE YEAR: THE BRISCOES VS. MITSUHARU MISAWA & KENTA KOBASHI - SUMMER SPECTACULAR FINALS - 7/5/09 This match had absolutely everyone on the edge of their seats. The constant thoughts of will or can the Briscoes do this, could they pull it off and get a tag title rematch in the biggest way possible. They had already gone through so much in the tournament at this point. Misawa and Kobashi were dominant and in this match they gave the Briscoes everything they had but the teamwork never slowed down. They were always getting back up, breaking up pins, whatever it took, the Briscoes would not quit. After 26 minutes of non-stop exciting action from pillar to post, Jay was able to pin Kobashi and the crowd erupted like never before. It was an incredible match to end an absolutely awesome tag team tournament!

CRUISERWEIGHT OF THE YEAR: JUSHIN LIGER Was there ever really any doubt? Nobody in the junior division had the year Liger had. Liger started the year as champion and suffered a shocking upset when he lost his title to Matt Palmer. Liger quickly regained it a month later at Valentine's Massacre and would steamroll the competition that followed which included Super J Cup winner, Psicosis, at Wrestlemania, the returning Austin Aries who once ruled the division, the fans vote of Evan Bourne, and seemingly everyone else that came his way. Liger held the title for almost a full year that is until the final night of 2009 when he shockingly lost the championship to Frankie Kazarian! Regardless, Liger's sheer dominance gave him this award without a doubt.

FINISH OF THE YEAR: THE BRISCOES DOUBLE FINISH ON LAX - GREAT AMERICAN BASH - 7/26/09 It was a great match in its own right but the finish is one that will never ever be forgotten in FPR history. The finish of the match witnessed both Briscoes hitting their respective finishers on LAX simultaneously which led to the pinfall. Mark hitting the Cutthroat Driver on Homicide and Jay hitting the J-Driller on Hernandez. Double impact if we ever saw. The crowd exploded at the sight and it was the perfect finish to the match. It stands out in the Great American Bash 2009 highlight video.

PRESTORY: A junior showcase Survival match. There was an originally a different plan for the team of Kazarian/MCMG/Pillman but something within the negotiations fell through and Brian Pillman (who was originally scheduled to team with Jushin Liger later on) stepped up to be apart of the team. Their opposition would feature the debut of FPR newcomer, Julian Caesaro and the top three contenders to Liger's junior championship in Ultimo Dragon, Amazing Red, and Austin Aries!

Julian Caesaro looked very impressive in his debut match. Aries tried to win it all for his team in the end but Kazarian took him down for the victory. A very good match that showcased some of the top contenders in the junior division.

PRESTORY: The upcoming match was sort of an open challenge, made by team captain Shinobu Kandori. Kandori formed a team in order to make a statement and prove to the world that she is still very much around in FPR despite her loss to Gina Carano at Cyber Saturday. Kandori chose to bring back Bull Nakano (who was injured by Gina Carano in the Queen's Cup) and Beth Phoenix to build her team. And lastly Alektra Blue came out and said she would like nothing more than to join the team. With Alektra Blue and three of the strongest females on the roster alongside her, they were a force to be reckoned with for sure. Their opponents that stepped up for the challenge consisted of Kelly Kelly leading three debuting women in Eve Torres, Brie Bella, and Nikki Bella. A clash of styles indeed that would certainly make for an entertaining match!

Survivors: Shinobu Kandori, Bull Nakano, Beth Phoenix, Alektra Blue
AFTERSTORY: It ended up a clean sweep with sheer dominance displayed by Bull Nakano most especially. One thing very notable was the grit and determination of Eve Torres. Eve took big move after big move from Bull but continued to kick out until she was eventually forced into submission. A lot of things are for sure after this one. Bull Nakano is BACK. Shinobu Kandori is still very alive with a lot to offer. Eve Torres definitely made a name for herself on this night despite being on the losing side. The winning team managed to have their entire team survive and they celebrated accordingly. As they stood tall with Alektra talking trash to the final fallen foes.

PRESTORY: Back in July at the Summer Spectacular tag team tournament, The Great Muta and Great Kabuki defeated Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard in a match that caused arguments and problems between Anderson and Blanchard. A rematch a month later at Final Burns witnessed the same result. The heat between Anderson and Blanchard only escalated as they could not get on the terms to tag up again for awhile. At Halloween Havoc, the other half of the Four Horsemen, Rick Rude and Michael Kostka tagged up against Muta and Kabuki but were still unable to defeat them. For Survival of the Sickest, Muta and Kabuki assembled a team which would feature the first time that The Great Muta and Vampiro would team up together in some form in three years since it was not a traditional tag team match. Tully stated prior to the match that if the Horsemen didn't come out victorious, he wasn't sure if the Horsemen would continue to exist..

Survivors: Great Kabuki, Vampiro, Kiyoshi
AFTERSTORY: The Dark Carnival pulled it off! As Tully Blanchard was the first man eliminated from his team, he went up the ramp and watched the duration of the match from the stage. As The Horsemen went on to lose, Tully threw his hands up and walked to the back. The Dark Carnival in its fullest form was a success. The Horsemen on the other hand has its future in question.

PRESTORY: In the FPR Queen's Cup, Jessica James had put up a great fight against Awesome Kong but was unable to attain victory. Kong would go onto the finals where she lost to eventual winner, Gina Carano. At Halloween Havoc, Jessica James gained a huge victory against Aja Kong. Aja was irate and aligned with Awesome to assemble a team for Survival of the Sickest. Their team was formed as the Kongtourage with Sojourner Bolt and Jazz joining them. It would be the debut of Sojo and a return of sorts for the former multiple time womens champion, Jazz. Jessica formed her team with former mult-time champion, Tiger Dream along with Athena and Sarita.
Survival Match: The Kongtourage (Aja Kong, Awesome Kong, Sojo Bolt, & Jazz) def. Team Jessica (Jessica James, Tiger Dream, Sarita, & Athena) (33:03)
*Aja eliminated Sarita (18:05) via CRITICAL
*Awesome eliminated Tiger (27:16)
*Awesome eliminated Jessica (29:02)
*Awesome eliminated Athena (33:03) after the Uraken Fist
Survivors: Aja Kong, Awesome Kong, Sojo Bolt, Jazz
AFTERSTORY: Much like the previous womens' match, it was a dominant display by the Kongtourage. Aja knocked out Sarita early on while Awesome eliminated the rest of the opposition. It was however a good effort put up by Team Jessica. Another great match that showed the strength of FPR's women's division. This feud won't end here though as Jessica James is relentless in proving herself as one of the top women in the promotion.

PRESTORY: Brock Lesnar shocked the world at Cyber Saturday when he defeated Bob Sapp to become Octagon Champion, ending Sapp's 3 year reign as champion. Lesnar has been reluctant on giving Sapp a title rematch as he isn't willing to see Sapp hold the title for that long again. Lesnar wanted Sapp to earn his rematch and he did just that defeating Lesnar in a non-title fight at Halloween Havoc. Lesnar challenged Sapp to an 8 man elimination tag match for Survival of the Sickest with both men assembling teams of four. Lesnar promised that if Sapp's team got the win, he would get a title rematch at Eve of Destruction. Lesnar's team was fairly easy to come together as his partner and friend, Aaron Eagle was on his side as well as Ken Shamrock, who was on Brock's team last year as well. Lesnar's last choice took him some time to choose but he went with Fedor Emelianenko who he figured would be a strong support on his team. Sapp, on the other hand, has ruled the Octagon for three years and didn't make many friends along the way. One friend he did make though was Kurt Angle. Sapp was Angle's hired gun last year at SOTS and this year, Sapp asked Angle to help him assemble his team. Gary Goodridge was the only member to step up and choose to be on Sapp's team. Angle stayed true to his word and hooked up Sapp with Giant Silva and Aleksandr Karelin to finish out his team.
Survival Match: The Beasts (Bob Sapp, Gary Goodridge, Giant Silva, & Aleksandr Karelin) def. Team Lesnar (Brock Lesnar, Aaron Eagle, Ken Shamrock & Fedor Emelianenko (25:53)

*Goodridge eliminated Lesnar (19:20) via CRITICAL
*Fedor eliminated Goodridge (21:24) via submission
*Karelin eliminated Fedor (25:00) via submission
*Karelin eliminated Eagle (25:53) via CRITICAL
Survivors: Bob Sapp, Giant Silva, Aleksandr Karelin
AFTERSTORY: Team Sapp got the victory. There were lots of knockouts and lots of submissions along the way and it didn't last long, as one would expect. Fedor was the only member of Team Lesnar to get an elimination over Gary Goodridge but the rest was all Team Sapp. With the victory, Bob Sapp will challenge Lesnar for the Octagon Championship once again at FPR Eve of Destruction in December.

[b] PRESTORY: Last month at Cyber Saturday, Mick Foley defeated Raven to become FPR Hardcore Deathmatch championship. A victory that has seemingly revitalized Mick Foley. Foley kicked off Halloween Havoc saying that he was going to make it his night, his show, and issued a non-title challenge to FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan to take him on in a steel cage match. As Halloween Havoc got started, Raven became the victor in the Chamber of Horrors to crown a number one contender for the Hardcore Deathmatch championship, thus ensuring his rematch with Foley. Meanwhile, Foley would go on to defeat Hogan in the main event. A victory that cannot be forgotten despite what took place following the match with the unexpected assault by Orton and Sid. Raven, being the reigning #1 contender to Foley's title, made sure to make the challenge for them to step in the ring in an elimination match for Survival of the Sickest. Foley agreed and both men assembled their teams. Raven already had his team assembled in The Flock while Foley would choose his partners carefully. Foley's team consisted of Abyss, Matt Morgan, and Abdulah the Butcher. In a pre-match promo, Foley named his team "Mick's Maniacs", perhaps a direct message, another mind game, to get under the skin of Hulk Hogan. Foley was sure to mention that he should be the number one contender after pinning Hogan in the ring. Raven's agenda was to weaken Foley for their title match that will take place at Eve of Destruction.
Survival Match: Mick's Maniacs (Mick Foley, Abyss, Matt Morgan, & Abdullah the Butcher) def. Raven's Flock (Raven, Kevin Sullivan, Mike Awesome, & Daniels) (48:29)

*Abyss eliminated Daniels (48:29) with Shock Treatment
Survivors: Mick Foley, Abyss, Matt Morgan
AFTERSTORY: Mick Foley's run of success continued here as his team went on to victory. Mike Awesome was able to eliminate Abdullah, but what followed that was more or less a 25 minute beatdown on Awesome done by the remaining members of Mick's Maniacs.

PRESTORY: Jushin Liger formed a team for Survival of the Sickest and challenged any contenders to team up against his team. Liger joined forces with popular duo, Andy Dalton and The Brian Kendrick, and brought along El Samurai to replace the previously-chosen Brian Pillman. The opponents lined up as the man who received the most votes in the junior battle royal at Cyber Saturday, Rey Mysterio as well as the man who faced Liger at that same show, Evan Bourne. They teamed up with JT Lamotta and former junior champion, Matt Palmer in what was sure to be an exciting bout!
Survival Match: CTU (Jushin Liger, Andy Dalton, The Brian Kendrick, & El Samurai) def. Rey Mysterio, Evan Bourne, Matt Palmer, & JT Lamotta (35:12)
*Samurai eliminated Mysterio (24:23) with a victory roll

*Samurai eliminated Palmer (33:59) with a victory roll
*Samurai eliminated Lamotta (35:12) with a magistral
Survivors: Jushin Liger, Andy Dalton, The Brian Kendrick, El Samurai
AFTERSTORY: Liger's team destroyed the opponent as Liger goes on as the dominant junior champion without much competition at the moment. El Samurai was clearly a wise last minute choice by Liger. Liger awaits his next opponent eagerly, while Samurai feels proud of his work here and Dalton & Kendrick look on to the future where the Guerrero Cup 09 begins soon!

PRESTORY: Bison Smith has been feuding with Sting and Lex Luger since the second half of the summer and the history their is well-known. At Cyber Saturday, the fans voted in Sting to face Bison Smith. Bison defeated Sting which enraged Ric Flair who came in 2nd place in the voting. Flair vowed to defeat Bison which he would go on to do at Halloween Havoc. Flair joined up with Sting and Lex Luger and recruited Barry Windham for their team to face Bison at Survival of the Sickest. Bison assembled a deadly team of himsefl, Akitoshi Saito, Takeshi Morishima, and Vader.
Survival Match: Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, & Barry Windham def. Bison Smith, Akitoshi Saito, Vader & Takeshi Morishima (30:20)

*Sting eliminated Vader (21:38) after a running bulldog
*Sting eliminated Bison (26:33) via submission
*Sting eliminated Saito (29:57) via submission
*Sting eliminated Morishima (30:20) with a running big splash
Survivors: Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, Barry Windham
AFTERSTORY: Shockingly enough, they pulled it off! And Sting got all the eliminations himself! Definitely redeeming his losses to Bison as Sting took charge like never before. Aside from Vader looking dominant early on, Bison's team never gained much of an advantage here. Sting was very satisfied with their victory as was his teammates. Flair is riding high after now two victories over Smith. While Windham suffered a potential injury early on, he seemed to be alright by the match's end.

PRESTORY: In the Fulfill your Fantasy battle royal at Cyber Saturday, there was an impressive showing among Angelina Love and Maryse as well as others such as Gail Kim and Trish Stratus. Maryse and Angelina have been boasting for awhile and at Halloween Havoc a tag match was signed in which Maryse and Love defeated Trish and Gail. This, of course, only led to further bragging from the duo. Trish demanded they face at Survival of the Sickest in an elimination match. Trish and Gail found backup in Lita and Victoria. While Angelina and Maryse recruited Angelina's close friends Velvet Sky and the debuting Madison Rayne.
Survival Match: Stratusfaction (Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Lita, & Victoria) def. The Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Maryse, Velvet Sky, & Madison Rayne) (30:59) [

Survivors: Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Lita, Victoria
AFTERSTORY: Trish's challenge was definitely worth it for her and her team! They finally put the Beautiful People down for the count and eliminated the entire team without losing one member of their own. Madison Rayne did have an impressive debut being the final member of the Beautiful People to be eliminated. After the match, The Beautiful People tried to regroup on the outside after their defeat while Team Stratusfaction celebrated in the ring. As they began to exit the ring, however, Lacey Von Erich slid in from behind and grabbed Gail Kim before she could get out and delivered a claw slam! Lacey bailed as Trish, Lita, and Victoria turned around to realize what took place and returned to the ring. Lacey aligned with the Beautiful People and helped them to the back as she stared down those in the ring, who tended to the fallen Gail.

PRESTORY: Kurt Angle and Yoshinari Ogawa have been embroiled in a bitter rivalry since July when Ogawa defeated Angle to win the Road 2 GAB. Ogawa went on to become Worlds Heavyweight Champion while Angle longed for a rematch, which he got as soon as Ogawa dropped the belt. Ogawa beat Angle again which prompted a rematch at Cyber Saturday. The fans voted the match be a submissions match and that is what it became. Angle got the decisive and rather quick victory in that match that played much to his strengths. Last time around at Halloween Havoc, Angle teamed up with Kevin Nash to defeat Ogawa and the Great Khali, techincally making them at 2-2 in matches. Angle and Ogawa agreed to captain teams for Survival of the Sickest to further their rivalry..

*Punk eliminated Danielson (27:03) with a german suplex
*Angle eliminated Punk (42:06) after the Angle Slam
Survivors: Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner
AFTERSTORY: Angle certainly led his team to victory here as he made sure it was him that secured the final pinfall. Angle walked away from this match with his head held high as he felt he was now 3-2 over Ogawa and broke the even score they had before. Ogawa still lays claim to the fact that Angle has not beaten him in a 1 on 1 singles match with no stipulations. But, Kurt seems not to care as he feels victorious and pleased.

PRESTORY: Chris Jericho defeated Jakob Furis in a bloody brawl at Cyber Saturday, after which Jericho claimed he would go on to become number one in FPR. Jericho challenged Stone Cold Steve Austin who had just come off a loss to World Champion, Hulk Hogan, to a match at Halloween Havoc. They met in the ring and Austin scored a quick victory. Jericho immediately claimed he wasn't fully prepared as he was only a week removed from his barbed-wire match with Furis. Though it was Jericho that made the challenge. Jericho said he would take the month to heal up and assemble a team to take on Stone Cold again. Jericho brought together Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger and found a mysterious masked final partner in Spoiler 2000, who would make his debut. Austin filled his team with competitive rivals, The Rock and Shawn Michaels and of course Jericho's bitter rival, Jakob Furis.

Survivors: Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Jakob Furis, Shawn Michaels

Jericho tried to show up Austin by targetting Shawn Michaels back and looking to take him out. This seem to light a fire inside of Austin who proceeded to go Stone Cold crazy and eliminate Jericho and his team one after the other. Jericho retreated to the back with his team, stunned in disbelief at what just took place in the short amount of time that it did. Austin celebrated in the ring with his team.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, you, the fans, voted Edge and Christian to get a tag team title shot against the Briscoes. They got the shot and went on to win the tag team titles! The Briscoes proceeded to bounce back as they have done all year long and won the championships back the following week at Halloween Havoc. The rivalry led to Survival of the Sickest where the two teams would go at in an elimination match. Edge and Christian joined up with the Briscoes' longtime rivals, LAX while The Briscoes did the same - and teamed up with the Hardyz!
Survival Match: Edge, Christian, Homicide, & Hernandez def. Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe, Jeff Hardy, & Matt Hardy (42:40)

AFTERSTORY: What a showing by Hernandez! Hernandez eliminated The Briscoes and the Hardyz making a definitive statement for himself and his team. The match definitely was sort of a preview for the upcoming Guerrero Cup V which takes place in the coming weeks as it will involve all the top tag teams in FPR. Edge and Christian certainly want a rematch but it will be the winners of the Guerrero Cup that receive the next shot at The Briscoes come Eve of Destruction.

PRESTORY: The history of the Foundation vs the Faithful is well-documented so there's no need to explain the whole rivalry again. The feud has been going on for over a year now and it was in fact a year ago this PPV, that the two factions met in the main event of Survival of the Sickest 2008. The Faithful won the match then and the feud continued on to this year's Great American Bash, where the Faithful were once again victorious inside of War Games, where they took out the Undertaker with a fireball to the face. The feud didn't end there though as at Cyber Saturday the fans voted one member of each side to face one on one. That match ended up being King Umaga defeating Samoa Joe. A week later at Halloween Havoc, the Faithful gained even more momentum when Mike Foxx defeated Bret Hart and Umaga defeated Kane. However, following the Umaga/Kane match, the lights went out and the gong was heard symbolizing that the return of the Undertaker was imminent. Undertaker would return for Survival of the Sickest to rejoin the Foundation in their battle against the Faithful one more time.
Survival Match: The Foundation (Bret Hart, Samoa Joe, Kane, & The Undertaker) def. The Faithful (Mike Foxx, King Umaga, Big Show, & Hardcore Holly) (44:23)

*Show eliminated Bret (43:59) via submission
*Kane eliminated Show (44:23) after the chokeslam
Survivors: Kane & The Undertaker
AFTERSTORY: The Foundation finally did it! They defeated The Faithful, 4 on 4! It was competitive, a hard fought battle, and very much back and forth but in the end the Foundation was victorious. The Undertaker made his triumphant return to help them succeed as he and his brother, Kane were the last men standing. Joe managed to eliminate Foxx first, shockingly enough and then Umaga took out Joe. Bret Hart got a very satisfying elimination when he locked his longtime rival, Umaga, in the sharpshooter. It was a huge win for the Foundation as they look to put a definitive end to the feud atleast temporarily.

PRESTORY: Last month at Halloween Havoc, "Best in the World" Candice Michelle successfully defended her championship against #1 contender, Mickie James. Following the match, Candice showed respect to Mickie and offered a handshake, Mickie accepted however proceeded to lay out Candice. Mickie's attack left the champion on the mat as Mickie raised the title belt. Mickie would later make the challenge for two teams to face at Survival of the Sickest. Candice told FPR Management, she had no idea why Mickie did what she did but she would teach her a lesson at Survival of the Sickest. Mickie formed her team, first selecting Candice's long time rival, the Angel of Mercy and former champion, Claudia. Mickie would then choose Katie Lea and the debuting Alissa Flash to complete her team. Candice made her choices as well in the weeks leading up to the event as she chose her close friend, Wendi Richter as well as another close personal friend of hers that she would bringing into FPR, Maria Menounos! Candice had promised then that she would complete her team in a big way and that she did! Candice got the Queen of FPR, Gina Carano, to join her on her team! The match was one of the most highly anticipated of the show and also its semi main event!
Survival Match: Team Mickie (Mickie James, Claudia, Alissa Flash, & Katie Lea) def. The Best in the World (Candice Michelle, Maria Menounos, Wendi Richter, & Gina Carano) (41:52)
*Carano eliminated Katie (10:57) via CRITICAL
*Mickie eliminated Wendi (29:45) via submission
*Candice eliminated Mickie (34:03) via submission
*Claudia eliminated Candice (34:49) via submission
*Claudia eliminated Menounos (41:21) via submission
*Claudia eliminated Carano (41:52) via submission
Survivors: Claudia & Alissa Flash
AFTERSTORY: Mickie's team managed to pull off the absolutely huge victory here with two members remaining the survivors. Carano got things off to a hot start knocking out Katie Lea. But Mickie answered forcing Wendi Richter to submit. Candice managed to eliminate her rival, Mickie, as she promised to do but the Angel of Mercy struck and Claudia, along with Alissa Flash, proved to be a successful combination and eliminated the rest of Team Candice. Alissa and Claudia did prove to be quite the formidable duo. A very strong debut showing for both Menounos and Flash. Claudia eliminating Candice proved for sure that their rivalry will be one that will always linger. Claudia got a very big boost of momentum when she in the end eliminated Gina Carano - the very first fall Carano has taken since debuting in FPR. Though it did look as though Carano was in the ropes, apparently it wasn't viewed that way. There will be discussion about who will receive the next shot at Candice for Eve of Destruction.

PRESTORY: Following the conclusion of the Hogan/Foley cage match, Randy Orton and Sid hit the ring and attacked. They attacked Foley but their primary focus was on FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan. Back in August when Hogan won the belt, Randy Orton immediately cashed in his money in the bank title shot but Hogan was able to overcome the odds and defeat him. The following month, Hogan defeated and unmasked Colossus which turned out to be Sid. Orton and Sid assaulted Hogan in the cage and Ted DiBiase followed behind them into the ring. Ted shouted at Hogan that at Survival of the Sickest, he would face his Million Dollar Team which consisted of himself, Orton, Sid and a partner to be named. That partner ended up being chosen by Ted as his own son, Ted DiBiase Jr. Orton and Sid were reluctant at first but the Million Dollar Man assured them that this was the right choice. A pre-match promo here finally revealed Hogan's team..well most of Hogan's team. Hogan stood in the back alongside "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior. Hogan would go on to let it be known that his planned fourth partner was discovered by the Million Dollar Team and was attacked and put out of action. Hogan said they were going to continue 4 on 3 because the powers of Hulkamania, Macho Madness, and the Ultimate Warrior would not be stopped. Hulk put his championship over his shoulder and led his team out of the promo area and down the hall leading to the entrance way. But he stopped as he came across Mick Foley. Foley walked up to Hogan and told him he heard that he needed a fourth partner. Foley said he would join Hulk's team but he would owe him one. Hulk didn't want to agree but felt he didn't have much choice.
Survival Match: The Million Dollar Team (Randy Orton, Sid, Ted DiBiase, & Ted DiBiase Jr.) def. The Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, & Mick Foley (35:28)
*Orton eliminated Foley (14:34) via CRITICAL
*DiBiase eliminated Warrior (29:17) via submission
*Hogan eliminated DiBiase (30:16) via CRITICAL
*Hogan eliminated Orton (33:09) via submission
*DiBiase Jr. eliminated Hogan (34:10) after a knee crusher
*DiBiase Jr. eliminated Savage (35:28) after Dreamstreet
Survivors: Sid & Ted DiBiase Jr.
AFTERSTORY: The Million Dollar Team are the victors and the man that scored the last two eliminations was the man least expected to do so, the debuting Ted DiBiase Jr.! Foley may have been reckless coming in after already wrestling earlier and was dropped early by Orton with an unexpected RKO. The Million Dollar Man scored a elimination for his team forcing the Warrior to submit to the Million Dollar Dream. Hogan had seen enough by that point and Hulked up big time and eliminated Ted and Orton. DiBiase Jr. was then on the attack as he and Sid were the survivors from their team. DiBiase Jr did indeed score a pinfall victory, albeit in an elimination eight man tag, over the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion in his very first match. The claim to the contendership is a vast one as Foley along with virtually all the members of the Million Dollar Team feel the right. Though no one has had an update on Foley's condition after taking a vicious RKO. But at the end of the night, The Million Dollar Team stood tall!

Comments, questions, requests, concerns and feedback of all sorts appreciated as always! FPR's next PPV event will be Eve of Destruction 2009. The 5th annual Guerrero Cup tag team tournament will take place over the course of the month. Stay tuned to FPR!

FPR Survival of the Sickest - 5 Days Away!

The card for FPR Survival of the Sickest is shaping up to be one of the most exciting ones yet. Survival of the Sickest will feature all of the matches in elimination 8 man tag team format as is the show's tradition. The show will be headlined by Hulk Hogan leading his team The Hulkamaniacs against The Million Dollar Team led by Randy Orton and backed by Ted DiBiase. The members of each team are not yet confirmed but we do know that Randy Orton and Sid are the co-captains of the Million Dollar Team while there remains no word on if the Million Dollar Man himself will get involved in the action. Hogan will have his close friend Randy Savage on his team and the other two are to be determined. In another of the main events Candice Michelle will lead a team to take on Mickie James' led team of the Bad Girls, following what took place at Halloween Havoc. Unlike the main event, we have heard the partners for this match as Mickie James has chosen Candice's longtime rival, Claudia as well as Katie Lea and the debuting Alissa Flash. Candice has chosen longtime friend, Wendi Richter to team with her along with another friend of Candice's that will make her FPR debut, Maria Menounos! Candice's final partner is to be determined but Candice promises she's made the choice and will be more than Mickie's team can handle. We can't wait for the excitement to take place! Also we can' forget the Foundation will meet the Faithful in what could be the final chapter in this year long rivalry.

Other matches that will take place include:
Team Jericho vs Team Austin - Jericho vows revenge for Austin's victory over him at Halloween Havoc, claiming not enough time to heal from Cyber Saturday as his reasoning.

The Beautiful People vs. Stratusfaction. - Angelina and Maryse have been bragging all month about their victory over Trish and Gail at Halloween Havoc and their very impressive performances at Cyber Saturday. Trish is assembling a team that intends to shut the Beautiful People up while TBP will be more prepared than ever with two more at their side.

The Flock vs Mick's Maniacs - Mick Foley holds a victory over Hulk Hogan, the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Foley is intent to not let anyone forget that and he has named his team Mick's Maniacs, perhaps a take on Hogan's team the Hulkamaniacs. Raven was able to regain #1 contendership for Foley's Hardcore Deathmatch Title at Halloween Havoc and will lead his Flock against Mick's team as Foley's craziness and unpredictability continue as well as his mind games towards Hogan.

Team Jessica vs The Kongtourage - Jessica James scored the upset victory over Aja Kong at Halloween Havoc. Aja has since aligned with fellow Kong, Awesome Kong, to assemble the Kongtourage to do battle with Jessica James!

Team Angle vs Team Ogawa - Angle and Ogawa continue their feud following their classic tag team match last month where Angle and Kevin Nash overcame Ogawa and the Great Khali. We can assume those Nash and Khali will be on respective teams as we wait to see who else is chosen!

ALL This and MUCH MUCH MORE! 11/21

FPR Halloween Havoc Results! - 10/31/09

FPR Halloween Havoc 2009
October 31, 2009
Theme Song: Within Temptation: "The Howling"



The show opened up with the Halloween Havoc intro and then cut to an earlier today video of Mick Foley entering the arena. Foley spoke into the camera saying that he was going to make Halloween Havoc become his show. He noted that he would have a close eye on the Chamber of Horrors which was to determine the number one contender to the Hardcore Deathmatch Championship. Foley then stated he was challenging FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan, to a Steel Cage Match in the main event! Foley said Hogan didn't have to put his title on the line but he was going to make an impact here tonight.



PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, Mick Foley was voted in to face Raven for the Hardcore Deathmatch championship. Foley would then defeat Raven to become the new champion! A definite shakeup in the Hardcore division of FPR. Every year at Halloween Havoc, the Chamber of Horrors is held and the winner receives a future shot at the Hardcore Deathmatch Championship. Eight men entered, but only one would emerge victorious!
Chamber of Horrors Match: Raven def. Abyss, Matt Morgan, Jakob Furis, Sting, Sabu, Abdullah the Butcher, & Hardcore Holly (11:17) when Raven pinned Sting
AFTERSTORY: Raven showed for sure that he was going to get a rematch against Mick Foley for the Hardcore Deathmatch Championship. Raven fought through seven other opponents to ensure he is the #1 contender. There's no doubt that he earned it. At Survival of the Sickest, Raven will lead his Flock against Foley and a team he will lead.

PRESTORY: A couple of months ago, a series of victories by The Great Muta and Great Kabuki over Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard led to problems within the Horsemen between Arn and Tully. Now after waiting some time, the other two members of the Horsemen, Michael Kostka and Rick Rude stepped up to challenge Muta and Kabuki
The Great Muta & Great Kabuki def. Rick Rude & Michael Kostka (10:31) when Muta CRITICAL'd Kostka
AFTERSTORY: Things didn't turn out well for the Horsemen as Muta and Kabuki made quick work here, Muta targeted the legs of Kostka and did so very effectively ending the match with a CRITICAL! It's looking like the demise of the Horsemen courtesy of Muta and Kabuki.

PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, The Big Show defeated Mark Henry and ended his over a year long title reign with the FPR International Championship. It was a a shocking win as no one had been able to defeat Henry for so long. But Big Show was voted in and pulled it off. Show looked dominant and Henry demanded he get a rematch.
International Championship Match: Big Show def. Mark Henry (9:43) via submission to RETAIN the championship
AFTERSTORY: Big Show defeated Henry a second time. This time even more convincingly than the first time. Show dominated Henry and cemented his championship status. Show's championship gain and retain is definitely a major plus for the Faithful and while Henry was unstoppable, everyone is already beginning to wonder who will be able to challenge The Big Show.



Evan Bourne def. Dolph Ziggler (13:33) after a neckbreaker
AFTERSTORY: Evan Bourne was able to get a big victory following the way his immense popularity granted him a Junior Championship last week. While Bourne may have lost then, he bounced back with a major victory here!

Jessica James def. Aja Kong (14:18) via rollup
AFTERSTORY: Two of FPR's top ranked females went at it here and Jessica James gained a huge victory! It was an upset to many as Jessica continues to climb the rankings here in FPR. James got the rollup and escaped from the ring as Aja was enraged. Aja has since aligned with Awesome Kong as Jessica will lead a team at Survival of the Sickest to take on the Kongtourage!

PRESTORY: Back at the Ultimate Encounter when Yoshinari Ogawa defeated Kurt Angle for a second time, Angle looked to inflict a post-match assault on Ogawa. But it was not to be as The Great Khali arrived to make the save for Ogawa and cause Angle to bail. Last week at Cyber Saturday, Angle and Ogawa stepped into the ring again, this time in a Submissions Match as chosen by the fans. The stipulation put everything in the favor of Angle and Angle was finally able to defeat Ogawa this time. For Halloween Havoc, Ogawa teamed up with the man who saved him before, The Great Khali while Angle aligned with a giant of his own in Kevin Nash.
Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash def. Yoshinari Ogawa & The Great Khali (27:56) when Angle forced Khali to submit
AFTERSTORY: The match was a fantastic matchup. Ogawa looked to surely score the pinfall when he scored a flash rollup on Nash but Angle made the save and got the tag. The match continued until Angle attacked the arm of Khali and eventually forced him into submission. Angle's bragging has only increased with now techincally two victories over Ogawa just as Ogawa had over him in the past. Angle and Ogawa will lead opposing teams at Survival of the Sickest. We know Khali and Nash will be involved but they will also have to find two more partners!

PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, Rey Mysterio defeated seven others in the annual battle royal to become the number one contender to the FPR Junior Championship! Meanwhile, Jushin Liger had a successful title defense over Evan Bourne. Mysterio was to receive his shot here at Halloween Havoc!
Junior Championship Match: Jushin Liger def. Rey Mysterio (10:15) after a shotai to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Liger again showed why he is the Junior Champion. Liger scored a quick and decisive victory over Mysterio. FPR Management will review the top ranked in the junior division to determine the elimination tag team match that Liger is involved in next month at Survival of the Sickest

PRESTORY: Maryse and Angelina Love have proven to be a formidable tag team in the past and showed some teamwork in last week's Fulfill your Fantasy battle royal. Trish Stratus was the top vote getter but was eliminated early on in the matchup. Trish agreed to form a tag team with Gail Kim to take on Maryse and Angelina in a tag team bout planning to shut the blonde duo up while Maryse and Angelina promised to retrieve a victory.
Maryse & Angelina Love def. Gail Kim & Trish Stratus (27:31) when Maryse forced Gail to submit
AFTERSTORY: Maryse and Angelina pulled it off! It was a very competitive back and forth matchup between the two teams. Great work by all involved and in the end Maryse caught Gail in her camel clutch to force a submission victory. Maryse and Angelina left with their heads held high taunting Gail and Trish all the way to the back. Maryse and Angelina have already begun forming their team to take on a team led by Trish and Gail at Survival of the Sickest!

PRESTORY: Last week, the fans voted in Sting to face Bison Smith. Bison defeated Sting in a great match, his second victory over The Icon. Backstage, Ric Flair was irate seeing Sting be defeated. Flair went on a rant and vowed to take down Bison at Halloween Havoc!
Ric Flair def. Bison Smith (12:12) via backslide
AFTERSTORY: Flair did it! He did exactly what he said he would do last week, take down Bison Smith. Flair wasn't lying as he brought Bison down to the mat in a backslide and secured the absolutely huge win! Bison was furious, as would be expected. It is likely that Flair will tag up with Sting and Luger along with one other to battle Bison at Survival of the Sickest but who Bison aligns with is unknown since he dropped Dolph Ziggler at The Ultimate Encounter, it will be interesting to see who he sides with for Survival of the Sickest!

PRESTORY: Last week, Brock Lesnar shocked the world when he defeated Bob Sapp in the Octagon and ended the nearly 4 year reign of The Beast. The crowd went into uproar as Lesnar was the new champion. Lesnar felt that since he was the new champion, he thought Sapp should have to earn a title match if he was to receive a rematch. Lesnar agreed to step into the Octagon once again with Sapp but this time in a non title match.
Non Title Octagon Match: Bob Sapp def. Brock Lesnar via 2nd Round KO (2:59) with the Beast Bomb (7:59)
AFTERSTORY: Sapp returned the result to it's usual form this time around. Lesnar's win may have been a fluke as Sapp losing is one of the rarest happenings in Fire Pro. It seems as though Lesnar will have no choice but to eventually give Sapp a rematch for the championship he had for three years.

PRESTORY: The Faithful vs Foundation feud furthered at Cyber Saturday last week when King Umaga defeated Samoa Joe. Bret Hart was very disappointed in the loss and challenged the Faithful's leader, Mike Foxx, to a singles match. Foxx accepted as the feud would rage on in this singles match before they once again reached the Survival of the Sickest where it reached its first high point last year. Sources say this feud may come to some type of closure at Survival of the Sickest.
Mike Foxx def. Bret Hart (18:10) with the STMF
AFTERSTORY: Mike Foxx was able to defeat Bret Hart. The leader of the Faithful forced the leader of the Foundation to submit. Another hugely devastating loss for Bret and a major, major, victory for Foxx and the Faithful. Foxx later said that after Survival of the Sickest, only one of the two factions will remain and the other will cease to exist. Foxx goes back to last year's Survival of the Sickest when the Faithful defeated the Foundation and promise to repeat history. Survival of the Sickest is shaping up to be an absolutely huge show with potentially the future of the top factions on the line!

PRESTORY: Last week, Chris Jericho defeated Jakob Furis in a bloody barbed-wire brawl. Jericho was more than satisfied with his win, bragging all week about it. Jericho was convinced he had gotten rid of Jakob Furis and that he was destined to move on to bigger things. On the other side of things, Stone Cold Steve Austin was catapulted into the main event when you, the fans, voted him into the championship match against Hulk Hogan. Austin failed in his bid for the championship but isn't going to give up and go away that easy. Jericho looking to captalize and launch himself into the title scene, challenged Austin to a matchup.
Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Chris Jericho (7:56) after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Jericho must not have been fully prepared for a match with Stone Cold. That or he was still feeling the effects of his barbed-wire match with Jakob Furis only a week ago. Austin was able to defeat Jericho in a pretty short matchup. Jericho would later call the loss a complete fluke and that Austin just got lucky. Jericho says he will take care of this at Survival of the Sickest and make everyone forget that he ever lost to Austin.

PRESTORY: As mentioned before, the Faithful vs Foundation feud has been one of the hottest in FPR history, not to mention the longest. Last week, King Umaga defeated Samoa Joe in a devastating defeat for the Foundation. Foundation Member, Kane had been pretty distracted from this feud since losing the Worlds Heavyweight Championship several months ago. He had been hellbent on getting it back but unsuccessful in doing so. Kane, despite being distant from his stablemates and friends, saw what happened at Cyber Saturday when Umaga beat Joe and issued a challenge to Umaga on his own. Kane vowed revenge and promised to show why he should've been voted into the match at Cyber Saturday.
King Umaga def. Kane (15:13) after the Island Driver
AFTERSTORY: Another win for Umaga is another win for the Faithful which is another very devastating loss to the Foundation. Kane was very visibly frustrated by the loss. After the match was over, King Umaga celebrated in the ring when the lights went out and the familiar bell of the beginning of the Undertaker's music began. The lights resumed and Umaga was looking around frantically but there was no sign of Taker. Could The Undertaker be returning in time for Survival of the Sickest, Foundation vs Faithful one more time!?

PRESTORY: Last week, the fans voted Edge and Christian into the tag team championship match at Cyber Saturday. Edge and Christian must have been a surprise to everyone including the Briscoes. The Briscoes were caught off guard and lost the titles to Edge and Christian. The new champs seemed to have a renewed fire with their championship win. The Briscoes would get their rematch at Halloween Havoc!
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Briscoes def. Edge & Christian (18:18) when Mark pinned Christian with a full nelson suplex to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Just when you think The Briscoes are down, they always seem to bounce right back! That's been their story all year. The Briscoes refuse to stay down and have had one hell of a year. Becoming tag team champions on multiple occasions and winning the first annual Summer Spectacular tag team tournament, they have been nothing short of incredible. And now, they won the championship belts back again a week after losing them. Edge and Christian are sure to stay in the hunt though, the two teams will be on opposing sides in an 8 man tag at Survival of the Sickest!

PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, Mickie James defeated seven other of the top women to win the Fulfill Your Fantasy battle royal. Mickie's win gained her the status of number one contender to the FPR Women's Championship. Also on the show, the champion, Candice Michelle overcame all the odds when she defeated Trish Stratus and Awesome Kong in a triple threat match! Candice proved once again why she is the champion and the Best in the World while Mickie was keeping a close eye on her defense, scouting for her upcoming title shot.
Women's Championship Match: "Best in the World" Candice Michelle def. Mickie James (13:56) with a northern lights suplex to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: Candice Michelle does it again! In a great match, Candice was able to defeat her #1 contender, Mickie James and retain her championship. After the match was over, Candice celebrated with her gold and then extended her hand to Mickie. Mickie accepted and the two shook hands. The crowd applauded as Candice raised Mickie's arm. As Candice turned around, Mickie turned her back around and laid her out with a vicious crescent kick! Mickie stood over Candice as boos filled the arena. Mickie grabbed the championship and held it near Candice's face, shouting that she would see her at Survival of the Sickest. After the show, we caught up with Candice to get some comments from her on what took place. She was just as shocked as everyone else. Candice did say she would be carefully hand-picking her partners for Survival of the Sickest and that she will lead her team to victory over Mickie's team.


PRESTORY: Earlier tonight, Mick Foley promised to make Halloween Havoc his show. Last week's Hardcore Deathmatch championship win is appearing to be a sort of resurgence for Mick Foley. Foley issued the friendly or not so friendly challenge to Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan, to step into the ring with him in a Steel Cage match with neither man's belts on the line. Just one week removed from Foley wrestling an extreme rules match and Hogan having a grueling last man standing match. Foley has always been crazy and unpredictable and making this challenge was no different. Hogan, never being one to back down from a fight, accepted the challenge.
Non Title Champion vs Champion Steel Cage Match: Mick Foley def. Hulk Hogan (16:57) after a piledriver
AFTERSTORY: Foley pinned the champion! As mentioned before, only a week after both men went through wars in the ring, they went at it here in a very competitive battle as both men gave it their all. It was another war in that cage but Foley came out the victor! An absolutely huge win for Foley in this battle of champions. After the match ended, Randy Orton hit the ring and entered the cage accompanied by Sid. Orton and Sid ambushed Hogan and Foley! They beat down Hogan and Foley, re-opening Foley's cuts on his head and tossing Hogan to the steel. The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase made his way to the ring and got on the mic. Ted told Hogan to look forward to facing the team he assembles, his million dollar team led by Randy Orton. Orton yelled at Hogan to bring his Hulkamaniacs cause he's gonna need them. Macho Man Randy Savage came running to the ring with a steel chair which caused Orton, Sid, and DiBiase to flee the ring. Savage aided Hogan in the ring while Foley crawled and used the steel cage to regain his composure as the night came to a close. The main event scene is as hectic as ever!

©FPR Halloween Havoc 2009. Comments, questions, and feedback of all sorts are appreciated as always. FPR's next pay per view event will be Survival of the Sickest 2009 scheduled for November 21st. Survival of the Sickest will be a huge event as we will see an entire card of elimination eight man tags including the Hulkamaniacs vs The Million Dollar Team, Team Best in the World taking on Mickie James newly led team, The Faithful vs The Foundation once more, Stratusfaction against The Beautiful People and much much more!!!

Cyber Saturday is the event that has the ability to completely change the landscape of FPR as it is all up to you. and often creates new things that shape the future. FPR hopes to receive as much involvement from the fans as possible.)

Voting on a wrestler in match #1 will not affect their ability to be voted on in matches later on. If someone is already wrestling you can still vote on them for other matches!

You CAN vote for absolutely anyone whether they are contracted or not, injured, fired, etc.

8 Man Cruiserweight Battle Royal: ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ???
The match that is the annual opening contest for Cyber Saturday and there couldn't be a better way to kick off the show in exciting fashion. The winner of this match will receive a Junior title shot at Halloween Havoc against whomever is the champion at that time. Right now, that man is Jushin Liger who has been seemingly unstoppable since regaining the championship in February and you will vote his opponent later on. There are many in FPR vying for the chance to be in this matchup, and it's your turn to decide the future of the junior division by naming who will be in this match and who will be given the chance to prove themselves!
VOTE: Any Eight CRUISERWEIGHTS in the world!


Bison Smith vs ???: Bison Smith -vs- Sting, Lex Luger, OR Ric Flair [
The Road to the GAB sparked a rivalry between Bison Smith and Lex Luger. Bison defeated Luger in the tournament but a rematch at the Great American Bash saw Luger avenge his loss. Following that rematch a brawl ensued with Luger and Sting against Bison and Dolph Ziggler. At Final Burns, Sting requested he get Bison one on one. He got his wish and Bison defeated Sting in a very competitve match. Most recently at the Ultimate Encounter, Sting and Luger teamed up to defeat Bison and Ziggler when Sting forced Dolph to submit. Afterwards, Bison stormed off leaving Dolph laying in the ring, effectively walking out on his presumably now-former associate. Bison stated he would prove himself against whomever of the choices that the fans wanted, whether it be Sting, Luger, or Ric Flair. Flair has not had a battle with Bison Smith but he's been impressive in a series with Kurt Angle over the summer. After a planned bout between Flair and King Umaga was cancelled after Umaga was unable to appear at the Ultimate Encounter, Flair willingly placed his name on the ballot for the fans to vote on this match. So it's left up to you on who you choose to face Bison Smith, will you give Lex Luger a chance to even the 1-1 score between him and Bison, will you give Sting a chance to avenge his loss, or will you give Ric Flair the opportunity to go one on one with Bison? It's all up to you!
VOTE: Sting, Lex Luger, or Ric Flair



Legend Killer Challenge: Randy Orton -vs- ???
Randy Orton has been involved in a rivalry with the Megapowers for the majority of the past year. His Legend Killer challenge has become a staple of Cyber Saturday each year. Ironienough Last year, the legend killer challenge was a tag team match where you the fans voted the Megapowers together. Hogan and Savage have remained an alliance ever since. Orton's rivalry against the two escalated when he cost Savage the chance to cash in his money in the bank and ironically enough, Orton ended up cashing in his own shot on Hogan, but Hogan overcame the odds and defeated Orton in a bloody brawl. Orton bounced back at the Ultimate Encounter with a big win over Kane. Now, Orton is going back to his Legend Killer challenge and looking for a major victory. But the question remains, which legend will you choose to go one on one with Randy Orton?
VOTE: Any LEGEND in the world!

Ultimate Fan Dream Match: ??? -vs- ???
The ultimate fan dream match is another tradition of Cyber Saturday that takes place each year. It is a chance for the fans of FPR to vote on any one match they would want to see involving any two competitors they choose! Every year this had led to some great encounters, sometimes leading to a great rivalry as well. In the first year that Cyber Saturday took place, 2006, the fans voted Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe as the match they wanted to see the most. In 2007, they voted Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart. But last year, Angle became aware that he was voted into these matches and he became confident and arrogant, boasting about being the wrestler that everyone wants to see. As it just so happened, you, the fans, voted to see Bret Hart vs Samoa Joe, ironically the two that were voted to face Angle in years prior. There's no doubt that everyone will have their eye on this matchup as it is always something to see. What match will you choose this year as the ultimate dream match? You can vote on any match possible, whether it's been done or not, it's all up to you!
VOTE: Any two wrestlers in the world![/b]

Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal: ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ??? -vs- ???
Right now is arguably the hottest the women's division of FPR has been. This battle royal is always exciting and this year promises to be no different. Coming off the heels of the first annual Queen's Cup which displayed the excellence of the division, it is going to be up to you to determine which eight will be given the shot, the chance, to earn a future title shot, at Halloween Havoc. Last year's voting led to the women getting the main event slot at Halloween Havoc, this year it once again depends on who you choose. Currently, Candice Michelle is the reigning champion and you will vote her opponent later on. It is up to you to decide which eight women get the chance to compete!
VOTE: Any Eight WOMEN in the world!

Kurt Angle -vs- Yoshinari Ogawa in a Submissions Match, 2/3 falls match or tag team match?
The finals of the Road 2 GAB tournament saw Yoshinari Ogawa upset Kurt Angle. It was there that began the metoric rise to the top of Yoshinari Ogawa. Ogawa would go on to capture the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Angle was enraged by his loss and was waiting for his chance at a rematch. After Ogawa lost the championship to Hulk Hogan, Angle was quick to have a match against Ogawa signed which took place recently at the Ultimate Encounter. It was another great match but Ogawa pulled it off again! Angle was even more upset than before this time around. Angle assaulted Ogawa after the match. Angle beat up Ogawa until he bled when suddenly, The Great Khali emerged from the backstage and Angle quickly escaped. There was no word on why Khali got involved but he stopped the hellacious beating nonetheless. Angle and Ogawa's feud will continue here at Cyber Saturday but the match type it continues is in, is up to you. Will you put the match in Angle's favor in a submissions match, make the two go at it in a 2/3 falls match or will you force them to find partners for a tag team match? It's all up to you!
VOTE: Submissions Match, 2/3 Falls Match, or Tag Team Match

Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Raven(c) -vs- ???
Raven has been in a seemingly endless feud with Abyss since the end of last year. The two have been trading the Hardcore Deathmatch championship back and forth for several months now. Raven won the title back at the Ultimate Encounter to take the championship into Cyber Saturday, where you will decide who his challenger will be. Raven has been involved in the title picture here for a long, long time and this year has been no different. Last year, Raven was successful in defending this very title at Cyber Saturday, but this year, who will you choose to take on Raven inside of the hardcore deathmatch environment?! Will you give Abyss another rematch, or give someone else a chance?
VOTE: Anyone in the world!

Chris Jericho -vs- Jakob Furis in Steel Cage Match, Barbed Wire Match, Lumberjack Match or Loser Leaves Town
The feud between Chris Jericho and Jakob Furis culminated briefly at WrestleMania but continued over the summer. A small break in the feud took place in August when Jericho tagged with Christian to finish up a scuffle they began with CM Punk and Go Shiozaki while Furis was on a promotional tour. At the conclusion of the tag match which Jericho and Christian won, Jericho proclaimed he still had something to finish with Jakob Furis. At the Ultimate Encounter, Jericho and Furis picked each other's poison. Furis chose for Jericho to wrestle Triple H an Jericho chose Furis to wrestle his partner, Christian. Triple H dominated Jericho in a brief five minutes which Jericho has since called a fluke, while Furis choked out Christian in a grueling match. But now at Cyber Saturday, you will pick their poison. What kind of match will you put Furis and Jericho into now? They have seemingly done it all, with a 2/3 Falls match at WrestleMania and an I Quit match at Bloodlines.

Gina Carano -vs- Shinobu Kandori in an Octagon Fight, Wrestling Match, or K1 Rules?
At the beginning of September, Gina Carano debuted in the Queen's Cup at the Labor Day Classic and proceeded to take FPR and the women's division by storm. In the tournament, Shinobu Kandori shocked the world when she used an armbar to defeat Women's Champion, Candice Michelle, in 35 seconds. Candice had previously defeated Kandori twice in an amazing series of matches early last year but Kandori definitely came back strong. Meanwhile, Gina Carano would go on to become the Queen of FPR, winning the 32 woman tournament. Kandori watched the finals from ringside, the finals that saw Carano knock out Awesome Kong. In a post-match interview, Kandori stated that she hoped to have a match with Carano in the near future. FPR Management has answered Kandori's request and made the match official, however, it will be you, the fans, choosing what type of match they will compete in. Will the two compete in a wrestling match as the Queen's Cup was contested in, will they have to use their skills to defeat the other in an Octagon fight, or will they go at it kickboxing style in K1 rules? It's all up to you as you determine the stipulation to this highly anticipated match!

Faithful vs Foundation: ? vs ?
The Faithful vs The Foundation has been one of the hottest rivalries in FPR history. It has been going for just about a year now and is still full of momentum.

World Tag Team Championship Match: The Briscoes(c) -vs- ???
The Briscoes have had one of the best years of anyone in FPR. Their tag team championship wins have been more spectacular than anyone has done before them. It all began at the end of last year when they dethroned year-long tag team champions, Big Show and Hardcore Holly. Since then, they have been in quite the feud with LAX for the majority of this year. They have traded the titles back and forth several times, most recently with the Briscoes taking back the gold inside of a Steel Cage at the Ultimate Encounter. The Briscoes managed to get the belts back just in time for the big event known as Cyber Saturday. Now, you will vote to decide what team will face the Briscoes for the tag team championships! Whomever you vote in will likely have a classic match with the Briscoes.
VOTE: Any two in the world!

Women's Championship Match: Candice Michelle(c) -vs- ???
As noted above, the women's division has been hotter than ever as of late and Candice Michelle, as the champion, has been right in the middle of it all. Candice has been embroiled in a feud with Claudia for a long time but most notably the last few months. Claudia won the championship at the Great American Bash in the first ever women's cage match, but Candice would win it back at Final Burns. As was also mentioned above, the Queen's Cup first round where Shinobu Kandori surprised everyone by taking Candice Michelle out in 35 seconds. While Kandori was watching closely the Queen's Cup finals, she also had her eye on the Women's Championship match at the Ultimate Encounter. One in which Candice retained her belt against Claudia, this time via submission. The submission victory could have been a shot at Kandori to show that she too can use submissions. In early 2008, a series of matches between Candice and Kandori is what kicked off Candice's incredible title reign that lasted nearly 10 months. It was that series where Candice garnered the 'Best in the World' moniker as she defeated Kandori in two classic matches. This year though, it appears Kandori is back with a mean streak, as may be seen when she takes on Carano earlier in the night. But for Candice Michelle, she will defend her championship once again. Last year she was finally defeated at this very event but now one year later, she has come a long way once again. There are plenty of women in contention, many that have shined lately. Who will you choose to challenge Candice Michelle for the FPR Women's Championship?

Worlds Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing Match: Hulk Hogan(c) -vs- ???
THE MAIN EVENT. Traditionally at Cyber Saturday it is also voted on the match type, but every past year, Last Man Standing won the vote so from this year forward the main event will be a Last Man Standing match. On August 22, Hulk Hogan defeated Yoshinari Ogawa to become the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion for the first time in four years. It was a long road back to the top for the Hulkster. Moments after Hogan won the belt, Randy Orton attempted to sabotage the moment by cashing in his money in the bank. However it was not to be as Hogan would defeat Orton in a bloody brawl. Following the match, a confrontation with Orton's cohort, Colossus, led to what became the main event of the Ultimate Encounter - Hogan vs Colossus - Title vs Mask. It was one of the biggest main events of all time and Hulk Hogan once again overcame the odds and finally defeat Colossus. Hogan's win forced Colossus to unmask, which would shockingly reveal SID under the mask! Sid had quit FPR following a failed attempt to win the world title back at Survival of the Sickest last year and it was revealed that he had been under the mask of Colossus all this time. Hogan's victory was one of his biggest wins of all time and the culmination of a long running feud. Hulkamania is running wild like never before. Hulk has faced many big challenges already only a month into his reign. Hogan has been able to fend off the alliance of Orton and the former Colossus and now he comes to Cyber Saturday as the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion, where you will pick his next opponent. Who will you vote to challenge Hulkamania!?
