Every year it provides the most action-packed opening contest as possible and promises to be one with major title implacations on the Junior championship. The winner of this match receives a title shot at FPR Halloween Havoc but must first overcome seven other stars in this match.

Last month at The Ultimate Encounter we saw several junior showcases and now it's your turn to decide who gets this chance!

8 Man Cruiserweight Battle Royal: Ultimo Dragon def. Chavo Guerrero, AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, Psicosis, Evan Bourne, Kaval, & Amazing Red (23:37)
*Mysterio eliminated Chavo (13:02) with a magistral rollup
*Psicosis eliminated Styles (15:19) with a backslide
*Psicosis eliminated Mysterio (16:00) with a german suplex
*Bourne eliminated Psicosis (18:43) after Ultimo used a kick
*Red eliminated Bourne (21:03) with the Code Red
*Ultimo eliminated Kaval (22:09) with a hurricarana
*Ultimo eliminated Red (23:37) with a running powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: Action packed as it's ever been, this match was a wild opener to show. High spots at every turn. In the end it was Ultimo Dragon that stood tall as the new number one contender. Ultimo's second Cyber Saturday victory as he looks to become champion now for a second time. Amazing Red was impressive in making it to the final two after nearly not making it into the match. We expect to see these combatants continue their roads in FPR. Several have expressed their disappointment in not becoming victorious - most especially AJ Styles, who has promised to avenge the loss.
PRESTORY: Spoiler 2000 has been at odds with Bison Smith and Takeshi Morishima since the Road 2 GAB tournament in July. Spoiler has managed to overcome both men in recent months and most recently in a tag team bout. Following the Ultimate Encounter, Bison demanded a spot on the Cyber Saturday card and FPR Management gave him just that - another match with Spoiler. Only this time, the fans will decide what type of match this will be. Will it be a lumberjack match, a submissions match, or a tag team bout! It's all up to you.
VOTING RESULTS:
Lumberjack: (47%)
Submissions: (36%)
Tag Team: (17%)
Lumberjack Match: Bison Smith def. Spoiler 2000 (11:39) with the Bisontenniel
AFTERSTORY: Bison finally got one over on Spoiler. After months of Spoiler coming out victorious against Bison, Morishima, and even both of them together. The lumberjacks however may have played a part in the match's outcome as Spoiler became visibily distracted by happenings on the outside of the ring prior to falling victim to the Bisontenniel. Bison though, celebrated as if he had won the biggest match of his career. Spoiler blames the lumberjacks and he plans on challenging someone who was ringside during their match.
PRESTORY: At every Cyber Saturday, Randy Orton has made the legend killer challenge. Sometimes it's been singles, sometimes tag. This year, Orton has taken an extended leave of absence following a string of losses earlier this year. When FPR Management approached Orton about whether or not he would reprise his Cyber Saturday challenge, Orton vowed to bring it back and return with a vengeance. Orton has stated he will defeat whomever the legend that gets voted in will be, just like he did at the very first one in 06 as well ast the last one in 2009. But who will be the legend that faces the returning Orton? That will be all up to you as you make the vote to determine Orton's challenge!
VOTING RESULTS:
Voting saw a TIE between Stone Cold Steve Austin & "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr.! Because of this, FPR called for the match to become a triple threat match where the first fall would result in victory, Randy Orton agreed to the terms to take on both challengers!
Legend Killer Challenge Triple Threat Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Randy Orton & Bob Orton Jr. (13:36) via armbar submission on Bob
AFTERSTORY: Stone Cold was victorious but it was Bob that took the fall which obviously enraged Randy. It was a battle between the three to say the least but in the end Austin stunnered and submitted Bob Orton. After the match, Randy was seething as Stone Cold stood victorious. Austin and Orton had a brief staredown before Austin flipped him off and made his exit. Randy remained in the ring as Bob struggled to recover. Randy looked back to him on the mat and then delivered a punt kick to the head! Randy left the ring and we know for sure that the Viper is coming after Stone Cold. That's not to forget that Austin will still be hellbent on regaining the World Title he lost last month.
PRESTORY: Moments before Cyber Saturday was finalized, Kurt Angle announced that he wanted his own match. Angle stated he has no doubt that fans will vote him into other matches but he'll wrestle twice. Angle said he would take on anyone in order to redeem himself from the loss that killed his hot streak last month to the Big Show. FPR Management quickly brought together a list of opponents for the fans to choose from as Angle's opponent. His two most recent victories, Yoshinari Ogawa and Ric Flair, and a wildcard in the Great Khali. Angle and Flair are 1-1 this year, Angle and Ogawa have a storied rivalry dating back to last year where they met at this very show, Khali would certainly be a tough task for Kurt. But it will be all up to you and you choose which one of the three Kurt will face!
VOTING RESULTS:
Ric Flair: (54%)
Yoshinari Ogawa: (29%)
Great Khali: (17%)
Kurt Angle def. Ric Flair (17:13) via submission with mounted knees
AFTERSTORY: A hell of a back and forth bout saw Angle once again victorious. Angle was dominant and seems to have recovered from his destruction at the hands of the Big Show last month. Flair had a good showing but Angle will look to get back on a winning path.
PRESTORY: The ultimate fan dream match is all about what match you really want to see. This gives you the opportunity to vote for absolutely any match that you want to take place at Cyber Saturday involving any wrestler! Each year it has delivered a classic bout, and sometimes lead to a series of matches. In 2006, it was Angle vs Joe, then it was Angle vs Bret in 2007. 2008 saw those two mix with Bret vs Joe and last year it was Shawn Michaels and The Rock. What will you pick for 2010? It can be anything at all, whether it's happened or not, it's all up to you in the ultimate fan dream match!
VOTING RESULTS:
The Undertaker vs. Sting received 5 votes to be the 2010 ultimate fan dream match!
Ultimate Fan Dream Match: The Undertaker def. Sting (14:44) after the Last Ride
AFTERSTORY: Another incredible fan dream match is in the books! Taker and Sting had a great battle but in the end, Sting made the mistake of climbing Taker in the corner which led to the Last Ride. Things between these two men may not be over yet as both are expected to be in prominent roles at next week's Halloween Havoc. A rematch could be in the making at some point.
PRESTORY: Last year your vote in Cyber Saturday led to Bob Sapp finally losing the Octagon Championship, albeit briefly, it was still the end of a three year long reign. Sapp lost the title a second time earlier this year but as he always does, was able to regain it quickly after. Sapp has headed into every Cyber Saturday as Octagon champion and last year was his only loss. Will lightning strike twice for the fans vote? Who will you choose to enter the Octagon with the Beast?
VOTING RESULTS:
13 votes went to Brock Lesnar to receive an Octagon title match in a rematch from last year's Cyber Saturday!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Brock Lesnar via 2nd Round KO (0:13) after a barrage of punches to RETAIN the championship (5:13)
AFTERSTORY: Unfortunately for Brock, lightning could not strike twice on Cyber Saturday. Despite an impressive first round that saw Brock bust Sapp open and nearly secure a submission victory, Sapp was able to come out swinging in round two and the flurry was unstoppable, much like Sapp's hold on the Octagon title.
PRESTORY: Last year at Cyber Saturday, you voted The Big Show in to face Mark Henry for the international championship. Show won the title there and he's held it ever since. Defense after defense, Show has reached a full year as champion but will he make it past that is now the question. Last month, Big Show had a dominating under 5 minute victory that showed why he has been an unstoppable champion. Whomever you vote in will best come prepared if they plan to topple the Giant as it has proved to be no easy task. Show has taken on all comers thus far, so who will you put up against him for the FPR International Championship!?
VOTING RESULTS:
8 votes went to Andre the Giant to receive an international championship match against The Big Show! It was to be a battle of the giants but only one could emerge victorious and as champion!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Andre the Giant (10:45) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Impressive and as dominant as ever, Big Show surprised just about everyone by once again retaining his title and officially passing one year as champion. When Andre the Giant was announced as the opponent for Show, many thought for sure we would be in for a title change but it was not to be. Big Show downed the former multi-time world champion and pinned him for perhaps the biggest defense of his title reign thus far.
PRESTORY: Abdullah the Butcher recently put an end to Mick Foley's 10 month reign (that began at last year's Cyber Saturday) and he's proven a worthy champion thus far. Abdullah has kept Foley's anyone, anywhere ruling on the belt and this night is the best time to take advantage of that as truly anyone can receive a shot at the title! But who it will be is all up to you! Who will you put against Abdullah in the deathmatch environment where the ring is surrounded by barbed-wire and landmines with light tube boards in every corner!
VOTING RESULTS:
9 votes went to the Necro Butcher to receive a hardcore deathmatch championship match against Abdullah! Necro narrowly escaped a tie by receiving one more vote than Sabu who came in 2nd place.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Necro Butcher def. Abdullah the Butcher (12:46) with the tiger driver to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Necro defeats Abdullah! The very first title change of the night came in a very brutal brawl. The fans definitely picked a winner here as Necro was able to bloody Abdullah and put him through several lighttubes before securing the victory and becoming the new champion. Necro will now have the hardcore target on his back as he begins his reign as champion.
PRESTORY: Another staple of FPR Cyber Saturday is the women's battle royal. Eight women step into the ring and only one makes it out as the victorious number one contender. Each year the match has a major impact on the women's division and it's title picture. It's up to you to choose which eight will make it in this year. It's always interesting to see who makes it into the match and it always delivers as a great one. Last year saw a ton of fallout that led into the months that followed. About 16 women have had the privelage to compete in the years past. Now, it's your choice, which eight women will compete in the epic battle!?
VOTING RESULTS:
Trish Stratus: 34 Votes - Highest vote receiver in 2006, 2009, and now 2010. Has competed in every FYF Battle Royal. Former women's champion.
Mickie James: 25 Votes - Winner of FYF 2006 & 2009. Highest vote receiver in 2008. Has competed in every FYF Battle Royal. Former women's champion.
Beth Phoenix: 20 Votes - Competed in 2007 & 2008. The Glamazon looks to make her mark here.
Angelina Love: 17 Votes - Competed in 2009 as the final entry. Most votes she has received. Coming off big cage match win over Victoria last month.
Victoria: 17 Votes - Has competed in every FYF Battle Royal. Highest vote receiver in 2007. 7 time women's champion.
Velvet Sky: 16 Votes - First ever Cyber Saturday appearance. Looks to finally breakout as a star for the Beautiful People.
Lita: 16 Votes - Competed in 2006, 2008, & 2009. 7 time women's champion. Made entry on some of the final votes received.
Natalya: 15 Votes - First ever Cyber Saturday appearance. Made entry by one vote over Kong & Melina. Only her 2nd FPR appearance.
Fulfill Your Fantasy Women's Battle Royal: Victoria def. Angelina Love, Mickie James, Trish Stratus, Velvet Sky, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, & Lita (29:06)
*Beth eliminated Angelina (15:56) via rollup
*Lita eliminated Mickie (16:08) after a leg drop
*Lita eliminated Trish (18:57) via magistral rollup
*Lita eliminated Velvet (21:39) with a powerbomb
*Victoria eliminated Beth (23:52) after a russian legsweep
*Victoria eliminated Natalya (24:58) via submission with a leglock
*Victoria eliminated Lita (29:06) via submission with a surfboard stretch
AFTERSTORY: Victoria pulls out the major victory! Lita had a very impressive showing in her first FPR matchup in awhile while Natalya had a huge breakout performance. Beth Phoenix was dominant but in the end it was Victoria doing the dominating as she bounced back from last months' loss in a major way. Now she's become the number one contender while there are many others fighting for a shot as well. Following Victoria's victory, we cut to the backstage area where Angelina Love was shown, clearly irate that her biggest rival had become the number one contender. Another big contenders match is being talked about for next week, while Victoria will receive her title shot at the clash of the champions: Halloween Havoc!
Following the Fulfill your Fantasy battle royal, Madison Rayne and Maryse made their way out to the ring. Maryse had a bag in hand while Madison held a microphone. They entered the ring and Madison berated the fans for not voting them into the battle royal. She claimed there was no way that they should have been left out of such a match and questioned the fans and the voting. (Maryse received 12 votes, while Madison received 8] Madison said they would not be left off this show and even had a surprise in store, a major announcement. Maryse reached into the bag and pulled out two title belts. Maryse proclaimed that they had petitioned FPR management for months that they were the greatest women's tag team around and had proven it time and time again so now they had their own championship titles made. Madison stated with the belts, they were now official and would defend the belts as such. The Beautiful People duo bragged about their past victories over Angelina Love and Victoria, Candice & Hamada, and other victories. They said they would not be left off tonight's blockbuster event and then issued an open challenge for absolutely anyone to challenge them because they were the best team around. The Beautiful People waited in the ring until "Edge of Seventeen" hit in the arena and the Canadian Ninjas arrived in FPR!
BONUS MATCH: Women's Tag Team Championship Match: The Beautiful People (Madison Rayne & Maryse) def. The Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews) (29:49) when Maryse pinned Portia after the French Kiss DDT to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: TBP may just be the very best. After a thrilling back and forth battle, they managed to come out on top once again against the debuting team of Portia and Nicole. The Ninjas were a huge challenge to the 'champs', who recognize their title reign as starting at the Great American Bash. The match definitely proved to be a special treat for the fans. The Canadian Ninjas' debut was a surprise and met with a big response, which all kicked off with the initial surprise of FPR now having women's tag team championships!
PRESTORY: Shockingly enough, the FPR Junior Championship is the one and only title that has never changed hands at a Cyber Saturday event! Three of those four shows saw Jushin Liger walk in - and out - as champion. This year things almost went a different way as Liger lost the title at the beginning of the year and left the division briefly. However, last month, Liger made his return to the junior division to challenge then-champion Brian Pillman. Pillman had been champion since WrestleMania and beaten every contender but Liger had returned and he won his belt back in CRITICAL fashion. So now, Liger heads into his 4th consecutive Cyber Saturday as champion, but who will you put him up against in his first defense of his seventh reign?
VOTING RESULTS:
6 Votes went to Rey Mysterio to receive the junior championship match! Rey's often the highest voted in the cruiserweight battle royal but this is his first Cyber Saturday title shot. 3 men trailed him with 4 votes as the runner ups.
Junior Championship Match: Rey Mysterio def. Jushin Liger (7:52) via magistral rollup to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Upset city! History has been made as Rey Mysterio becomes the first man to ever win the junior title at Cyber Saturday! Liger completely dominanted this match and may have seemingly gotten overconfident as he battered Rey from pillar to post with everything he had. Rey hit very little offense in the match but managed to shock Liger with a sudden rollup out of nowhere that held Liger down for the three count! Liger was in disbelief following the match as Rey escaped with the title and celebrated through the crowd. Rey begins his first reign and now he's the champion, Ultimo's the number one contender while Liger and Pillman both want rematches!
PRESTORY: This is a feud that's been going almost the whole year. WrestleMania was when the pieces came together to bring Punk, Aries, and Michaels back together for the first time in four years. Their opposition has been the three men they have caused the most trouble for so far. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Triple H. Those three men have joined together in their war with Generation sXe. Despite losing War Games in July, Bret and HHH have continued to battle Aries and Michaels while last month saw Hogan and Punk once again vying for the worlds championship. Tonight, you will pick one from each side to go at it in a 1 on 1 encounter!
VOTING RESULTS
Bret Hart (49%)
Triple H (33%)
Hulk Hogan (18%)
vs.
CM Punk (48%)
Shawn Michaels (40%)
Austin Aries (12%)
CM Punk def. Bret Hart (13:34) via rollup
AFTERSTORY: The fan vote led us to CM Punk vs Bret Hart, a rematch from the main event of Valentines Massacre earlier this year. Only this time, Punk came out victorious. Generation sXe continues to get the better of their rivals, as they did in War Games at the Great American Bash. They've declared victory, though it's likely that they will see another matchup at Survival of the Sickest next month.
PRESTORY: The LAX have had their best year ever in 2010. They've held onto the tag titles for months, they won the 64 team Real World Tag League and in the process became the first ever reigning tag champions to do so. LAX have remained tearing through the competition and despite some close calls, reigned supreme every time. Now it's time for you to decide who they face next for the FPR World Tag Team Championships. Who will you put against FPR's current top team!?
VOTING RESULTS:
6 votes went to the Hardyz to receive a tag team title match against LAX! This is the second time the Hardyz have received a tag title shot at Cyber Saturday.
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Hardyz def. Latin American XChange (17:06) when Jeff pinned Homicide with a split-legged moonsault to become the NEW Champions!!!!
AFTERSTORY: The Hardyz have defeated LAX! The nearly unstoppable reign has come to an end and the Hardyz begin their very first reign. Both teams came out hitting heavy from the start and it could've gone either way but in the end it was the Hardyz with the win in what has to be considered an upset. LAX were definitely caught off guard by the fans vote but they will be getting a rematch next week at Halloween Havoc.
PRESTORY: The hottest feud of the last several months has been John Cena and the Great Muta. It all began in the finals of the Road 2 GAB Tournament when Cena defeated Muta. Muta's post-match assault put Cena on the shelf until he returned for a street fight at the Great American Bash. Cena won in a bloody brawl but Muta wasn't going to give up. The following month at Final Burns they met again in an I Quit match. In one of the best matches of the year, Cena prevailed yet again forcing Muta to pass out in the STF after a twenty minute war. Last month they were involved in the wild six pack challenge for the world title but neither were able to bring home the gold. Muta has remained determined to defeat Cena and has challenged him to another match here at Cyber Saturday. This time you will choose what type of match they compete in! Will it be inside the 15 foot high steel cage? Will they go the distance in 2/3 falls? Or will they be surrounded by barbed-wire? It's all up to you!
VOTING RESULTS:
Barbed Wire: (45%)
Steel Cage: (29%)
2/3 Falls: (26%)
Barbed-Wire Ropes Match: John Cena def. The Great Muta (19:06) via submission after sending him into the barbed wire
AFTERSTORY: It seems as though Muta just can't beat Cena! The fans called for the barbed wire to surround the ring and so it did. Both men were sent crashing into it and Muta was intent on once again re-opening Cena's cuts and making him bleed, something he has done in just about every one of their encounters. But also akin to their previous matches, Cena came out the winner. This time Cena tied Muta up in submission with the assistance of the barbed-wire and got the victory in brutal fashion. Cena looks to have vanquished his rival once and for all as he has defeated Muta on several occasions now. However, Muta will be in the house for Halloween Havoc next week - provided he doesn't have any major injuries coming out of this one.
Prior to the next contest, we headed backstage where Sara Del Rey was on the interview stage. Del Rey acknowledged that she had been informed she did not win the upcoming vote for a shot at the women's championship but issued a challenge to whomever came out the winner, saying she would go through anyone to become champion. Sara stated she knew that Victoria had the next title shot but she will get a shot soon and vows to become champion sooner rather than later. Daizee Haze came into view and reminded Del Rey that she is the winner of the 2010 Queen's Cup and has a future title shot coming to her as well. Haze and Sara had a brief staredown as the women's scene only gets hotter. Everyone's gunning for the gold!
PRESTORY: Since her debut late last year, Alissa Flash has made a very quick rise to the top of the women's division. Last month she won the women's championship back from Jessica James ending their series of matches with a 2/3 falls match. For the past two years, Candice Michelle had gone into Cyber Saturday with the title but this year things have changed. Last year your votes led to a tie which resulted in a triple threat match. This year it's all up to you to determine who faces Alissa Flash for the women's title, the choice is yours!
VOTING RESULTS:
8 votes went to Amazing Kong to receive a women's title shot! Kong narrowly edged out Lita (7) and Sara Del Rey (6) to earn the shot at the title. This is the third consecutive year that Kong has been voted into the women's championship match at Cyber Saturday!
Women's Championship Match: Alissa Flash def. Amazing Kong (10:53) with the michinoku driver to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: Alissa Flash overcame a huge challenge here and did so in very impressive fashion! Alissa used her fists to bust Kong open early on which gave her an advantage and in the end she was able to lift up the big Kong and drop her with the michinoku driver. A major victory for Alissa as she now will defend against Victoria at Halloween Havoc, not to mention that several women around the locker room will have their eyes on that one.
PRESTORY: Last month FPR was turned upside down with one of the most monumental main events of all time when Stone Cold Steve Austin put the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship on the line in a six pack challenge. FPR's first world title six way in seven years and it involved all the top contenders. Mick Foley shocked the world when he came out on top with the victory. Foley outlasted Hogan, Punk, Cena, Muta, and Austin to become world champion for the very first time. In just three months, Foley has gone from hardcore champion to world champion and nobody saw it coming. Since winning the gold, Foley has called it the culmination of a year-long crusade, relating back to he pinned then-champion Hulk Hogan at last year's Halloween Havoc. Foley is now the champion and now he has the target on his back as everyone's gunning for him and the title. But who gets the first shot, is up to you. Who will you choose to headline Cyber Saturday against Foley? And so it was MAIN EVENT TIME!
VOTING RESULTS:
The voting led to a TIE as six votes went to both The Rock and The Undertaker! After a brief meeting, FPR management decided to change the traditionally scheduled last man standing match and agree to make the main event become a triple threat match! Just one month after Foley won the title in a six pack challenge, he would defend in a triple threat elimination contest! The deck was stacked and the fans had spoken! World title on the line.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: The Rock def. Mick Foley & The Undertaker (28:04) to become the NEW FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!!
*Rock forced Taker to submit to a dragon sleeper (26:32)
*Rock forced Foley to submit to the sharpshooter (28:04)
AFTERSTORY: If you thought The Ultimate Encounter turned things upside down, Cyber Saturday has 1-up'd that here! The Rock has come in out of nowhere and won the world title! A very exciting main event that went nearly 30 minutes and saw all three men give it their all. Foley did everything he could to keep hold of the gold but in the end it was Rock locking in the Sharpshooter. Undertaker was still recovering from his match earlier in the night, but still managed to put forth quite an effort here. FPR's landscape has most definitely changed. As we ended the night with The Great One wielding the championship high above his head. Last year, Mick Foley proclaimed he would make Halloween Havoc his night and this year, he plans to invoke his rematch clause.
©FPR Cyber Saturday 2010. Thanks to everyone who voted and participated in helping make this a truly great event! In total there were 67 votes cast and I hope you all enjoy reading about the show and/or watching the highlights! Comments, questions, requests, feedback of all sorts is accepted and appreciated as always! FPR's next big event will be Sunday's television special, the clash of the champions: Halloween Havoc! Several matches have already been announced as Foley and The Rock will meet with a rumored stipulation to be added. Alissa Flash defends against Victoria, the Chamber of Horrors returns, and much much more! Halloween Havoc will be a major show while following that FPR's next PPV event will be Survival of the Sickest in November where elimination tags take center stage!

Angle said he would take on anyone in order to redeem himself from the loss that killed his hot streak last month to the Big Show. FPR Management quickly brought together a list of opponents for the fans to choose from as Angle's opponent. His two most recent victories, Yoshinari Ogawa and Ric Flair, and a wildcard in the Great Khali.

In 2006, it was Angle vs Joe, then it was Angle vs Bret in 2007. 2008 saw those two mix with Bret vs Joe and last year it was Shawn Michaels and The Rock. What will you pick for 2010? It can be anything at all, whether it's happened or not, it's all up to you in the ultimate fan dream match!
Vote: Anyone vs Anyone!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp(c) -vs- ???
Last year your vote in Cyber Saturday led to Bob Sapp finally losing the Octagon Championship, albeit briefly, it was still the end of a three year long reign. Sapp lost the title a second time earlier this year but as he always does, was able to regain it quickly after. Sapp has headed into every Cyber Saturday as Octagon champion and last year was his only loss. Will lightning strike twice for the fans vote? Who will you choose to enter the Octagon with the Beast?
Vote: Anyone!
International Championship Match: The Big Show(c) -vs- ???
Last year at Cyber Saturday, you voted The Big Show in to face Mark Henry for the international championship. Show won the title there and he's held it ever since. Defense after defense, Show has reached a full year as champion but will he make it past that is now the question. Last month, Big Show had a dominating under 5 minute victory that showed why he has been an unstoppable champion. Whomever you vote in will best come prepared if they plan to topple the Giant as it has proved to be no easy task. Show has taken on all comers thus far, so who will you put up against him for the FPR International Championship!?
Vote: Anyone!
Fulfill Your Fantasy Women's Battle Royal: ? vs ? vs ? vs ? vs ? vs ? vs ? vs ?
Another staple of FPR Cyber Saturday is the women's battle royal. Eight women step into the ring and only one makes it out as the victorious number one contender. Each year the match has a major impact on the women's division and it's title picture. It's up to you to choose which eight will make it in this year. It's always interesting to see who makes it into the match and it always delivers as a great one. Last year saw a ton of fallout that led into the months that followed. About 16 women have had the privelage to compete in the years past. Now, it's your choice, which eight women will compete in the epic battle!?
Vote; Any 8 Women!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher(c) -vs- ???
Abdullah the Butcher recently put an end to Mick Foley's 10 month reign (that began at last year's Cyber Saturday) and he's proven a worthy champion thus far. Abdullah has kept Foley's anyone, anywhere ruling on the belt and this night is the best time to take advantage of that as truly anyone can receive a shot at the title! But who it will be is all up to you! Who will you put against Abdullah in the deathmatch environment where the ring is surrounded by barbed-wire and landmines with light tube boards in every corner!
Vote: Anyone!
Junior Championship Match: Jushin Liger(c) -vs- ???
Shockingly enough, the FPR Junior Championship is the one and only title that has never changed hands at a Cyber Saturday event! Three of those four shows saw Jushin Liger walk in - and out - as champion. This year things almost went a different way as Liger lost the title at the beginning of the year and left the division briefly. However, last month, Liger made his return to the junior division to challenge then-champion Brian Pillman. Pillman had been champion since WrestleMania and beaten every contender but Liger had returned and he won his belt back in CRITICAL fashion. So now, Liger heads into his 4th consecutive Cyber Saturday as champion, but who will you put him up against in his first defense of his seventh reign?
Vote: Any cruiserweight!
6 Man Mix Up: Hulk Hogan , Bret Hart , OR Triple H vs. CM Punk, Austin Aries, OR Shawn Michaels
This is a feud that's been going almost the whole year. WrestleMania was when the pieces came together to bring Punk, Aries, and Michaels back together for the first time in four years. Their opposition has been the three men they have caused the most trouble for so far. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Triple H. Those three men have joined together in their war with Generation sXe. Despite losing War Games in July, Bret and HHH have continued to battle Aries and Michaels while last month saw Hogan and Punk once again vying for the worlds championship. Tonight, you will pick one from each side to go at it in a 1 on 1 encounter!
Vote: Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, OR Triple H
Vote: CM Punk, Austin Aries, OR Shawn Michaels
World Tag Team Championship Match: Latin American XChange(c) -vs- ???
The LAX have had their best year ever in 2010. They've held onto the tag titles for months, they won the 64 team Real World Tag League and in the process became the first ever reigning tag champions to do so. LAX have remained tearing through the competition and despite some close calls, reigned supreme every time. Now it's time for you to decide who they face next for the FPR World Tag Team Championships. Who will you put against FPR's current top team!?
Vote: Any 2 wrestlers!
John Cena vs. Great Muta in Steel Cage, 2/3 Falls, or Barbed-Wire Ropes
The hottest feud of the last several months has been John Cena and the Great Muta. It all began in the finals of the Road 2 GAB Tournament when Cena defeated Muta. Muta's post-match assault put Cena on the shelf until he returned for a street fight at the Great American Bash. Cena won in a bloody brawl but Muta wasn't going to give up. The following month at Final Burns they met again in an I Quit match. In one of the best matches of the year, Cena prevailed yet again forcing Muta to pass out in the STF after a twenty minute war. Last month they were involved in the wild six pack challenge for the world title but neither were able to bring home the gold. Muta has remained determined to defeat Cena and has challenged him to another match here at Cyber Saturday. This time you will choose what type of match they compete in! Will it be inside the 15 foot high steel cage? Will they go the distance in 2/3 falls? Or will they be surrounded by barbed-wire? It's all up to you!
Vote: Steel Cage, 2/3 Falls, or Barbed Wire
Women's Championship Match: Alissa Flash(c) -vs- ???
Since her debut late last year, Alissa Flash has made a very quick rise to the top of the women's division. Last month she won the women's championship back from Jessica James ending their series of matches with a 2/3 falls match. For the past two years, Candice Michelle had gone into Cyber Saturday with the title but this year things have changed. Last year your votes led to a tie which resulted in a triple threat match. This year it's all up to you to determine who faces Alissa Flash for the women's title, the choice is yours!
Vote: Any woman!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing Match: Mick Foley(c) -vs- ???
Last month FPR was turned upside down with one of the most monumental main events of all time when Stone Cold Steve Austin put the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship on the line in a six pack challenge. FPR's first world title six way in seven years and it involved all the top contenders. Mick Foley shocked the world when he came out on top with the victory. Foley outlasted Hogan, Punk, Cena, Muta, and Austin to become world champion for the very first time. In just three months, Foley has gone from hardcore champion to world champion and nobody saw it coming. Since winning the gold, Foley has called it the culmination of a year-long crusade, relating back to he pinned then-champion Hulk Hogan at last year's Halloween Havoc. Foley is now the champion and now he has the target on his back as everyone's gunning for him and the title. But who gets the first shot, is up to you. Who will you choose to headline Cyber Saturday against Foley?

Bison Smith vs Spoiler 2000 in a Lumberjack, Submissions, or Tag Team Match
Spoiler 2000 has been at odds with Bison Smith and Takeshi Morishima since the Road 2 GAB tournament in July. Spoiler has managed to overcome both men in recent months and most recently in a tag team bout. Following the Ultimate Encounter, Bison demanded a spot on the Cyber Saturday card and FPR Management gave him just that - another match with Spoiler. Only this time, the fans will decide what type of match this will be. Will it be a lumberjack match, a submissions match, or a tag team bout! It's all up to you.
Vote: Lumberjack, Submissions, or Tag Team match
Legend Killer Challenge: Randy Orton vs ?
At every Cyber Saturday, Randy Orton has made the legend killer challenge. Sometimes it's been singles, sometimes tag. This year, Orton has taken an extended leave of absence following a string of losses earlier this year. When FPR Management approached Orton about whether or not he would reprise his Cyber Saturday challenge, Orton vowed to bring it back and return with a vengeance. Orton has stated he will defeat whomever the legend that gets voted in will be, just like he did at the very first one in 06 as well ast the last one in 2009. But who will be the legend that faces the returning Orton? That will be all up to you as you make the vote to determine Orton's challenge!
Vote: Any Legend!
Kurt Angle vs. Ric Flair, Yoshinari Ogawa, or The Great Khali
Moments before Cyber Saturday was finalized, Kurt Angle announced that he wanted his own match. Angle stated he has no doubt that fans will vote him into other matches but he'll wrestle twice. Angle said he would take on anyone in order to redeem himself from the loss that killed his hot streak last month to the Big Show. FPR Management quickly brought together a list of opponents for the fans to choose from as Angle's opponent. His two most recent victories, Yoshinari Ogawa and Ric Flair, and a wildcard in the Great Khali. Angle and Flair are 1-1 this year, Angle and Ogawa have a storied rivalry dating back to last year where they met at this very show, Khali would certainly be a tough task for Kurt. But it will be all up to you and you choose which one of the three Kurt will face!

FPR The Ultimate Encounter 2010 Results

September 25, 2010

[b] Check out the Ultimate Encounter highlight video HERE!!
http://www.viddler.com/explore/TigerXgroge/videos/36/
[/b]
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Bob Sapp has once again dominated the Octagon division, and because of that there was not a set number one contender, so Sapp sent out an open challenge for anyone to step into the Octagon for an octagon exhibition match against him. That challenge is answered by the debuting, Scot Summers!
[b] Octagon Exhibition Match: Bob Sapp def. Scot Summers via 1st Round KO (4:42) after a two punch combo [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Sapp dominates again, he heads into his 5th Cyber Saturday as champion next month and it's up to you to decide who challenges him next!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Jamliia Craft has been under Claudia's skin since her debut in FPR two months ago. Claudia has had her share of problems with FPR newcomers this year and this has been no different. Speaking of newcomers, Madison Eagles is another newcomer to FPR, making her debut in the FPR Queen's Cup with an extremely impressive first round outing against Amazing Kong. Different than the others, Eagles has decided to team up with the Angel of Mercy, Claudia, for a tag team match against Jamilia and her partner of choice, Nikki Roxx!
[b] Claudia & Madison Eagles def. Nikki Roxx & Jamilia Craft (25:34) when Eagles pinned Roxx with a rollup [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] A great matchup as Claudia gets another one up on Craft. Madison picks up her first FPR victory with the pinfall on Nikki Roxx. All four women put on a great showing as we head into Cyber Saturday where eight women will vie for #1 contendership, but it's up to you to decide which ones!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Last month, AJ Styles made his bid for the FPR Junior Championship but just barely came up short. AJ was the number one contender after defeating Rey Mysterio and he wanted to win another shot at the title. This month, AJ will try to again become the top contender against Julian Caesaro, who steps away from the tag team scene and looks to gain standing in the junior division.
[b] Julian Caesaro def. AJ Styles (16:32) after the Royale Deluxe [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Caesaro pins AJ in an incredible matchup! These two went move for move as AJ tried to keep things grounded while Julian delivered on the high-flying offense. Caesaro looked to finish things off with an unbelievable top rope dive to the outside as he quickly sent Styles back into the ring but was met with an ace crusher that looked like it would end the match. It was not to be as Julian fought back and delivered the Royale Deluxe to get the huge victory. This win will no doubt propel Caesaro into potential title contention and AJ now faces two consecutive losses on PPV.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Evans & Palmer and the Hardyz have been opposing each other for a few months now. They have set their score at one and one each, last month, Evans and Palmer scored an 8 man tag victory, however they wanted to defeat the Hardyz once and for all. The Hardyz also wanted revenge and to get their win back from the last time, so the two teams looked to settle the score at the Ultimate Encounter!
[b] Robert Evans & Matt Palmer def. The Hardyz (31:16) when Palmer pinned Matt with a hurricarana [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The score has been settled and these two teams went all out to prove themselves! Both teams put forth everything they had including several double-team maneuvers and tag team cooperation. Evans and Palmer defeated the Hardyz and there's no question that they earned the huge victory.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Abdullah the Butcher has ended the reign of Foley which lasted over 8 months. Abdullah has finally become perhaps the new kingpin of hardcore, atleast for now. Abdullah's left Foley's anyone, anywhere, implementations in-tact and because of that, New Jack has decided to challenge Abdullah for the belt in what promises to be a hardcore bloodbath!
[b] Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. New Jack (12:07) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Bloodbath it was indeed. These two brawled around the ring using all sorts of weapons. They traded fork shots to carve up the other's head, shattered lighttubes, this match was most definitely a hardcore deathmatch. In the end, New Jack couldn't put the Butcher down and Abdullah was able to finish him off with his trademark maneuver. Abdullah has been very tough since winning the belt from Mick Foley. Who will challenge him next? That's for you to decide!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Since the Road 2 GAB, Spoiler 2000 has been at odds with Bison Smith and Takeshi Morishima. Spoiler has managed to defeat both men in singles competition despite post-match double-team assaults. At Final Burns, they beat him down again following Spoiler's win over Bison only this time Spoiler was saved by his former rival, Jakob Furis! Spoiler came into FPR as Chris Jericho's hired gun to take out Furis, though his attempts were unsuccessful, they had some major bouts against one another. Now it seems they have moved on and will look to team together to take on Bison Smith and Morishima!
[b] Spoiler 2000 & Jakob Furis def. Takeshi Morishima & Bison Smith (21:24) when Spoiler forced Bison to submit to an abdominal stretch [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The Spoiler/Furis combination proved a successful one! They managed to overcome the strong pairing of Morishima and Bison and Spoiler has three consecutive PPV wins now. Furis and Spoiler were impressive for their first tag team outing and it will be interesting to see if the team up again and where everyone involved goes from here.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The Big Show is heading into a full year as international champion, he's defeated everyone in his path including some tough challenges. Kurt Angle, on the other hand, has been on a path of rage, most especially since the Road 2 GAB Tournament. Angle dominated both Yoshinari Ogawa and Ric Flair to avenge previous losses to them. After soundly defeating Flair, Angle made his intentions known that he would challenge Show to a match for the international championship!
[b] International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Kurt Angle (4:23) via Chokeslam CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Show annihilates Angle and now he will head into Cyber Saturday where he was voted into the title match last year to defeat Mark Henry. Big Show will reach a full year as international champion and at this rate, who can stop him?
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Since winning the junior championship at WrestleMania, Brian Pillman has been seemingly unstoppable. Despite some close calls, Pillman has managed to hold on to the title time and time again. En route to his title win, Pillman defeated his often-times tag team partner, Jushin Liger, in the Super J Cup - a move that caused Liger to re-evaluate his FPR career and attempt to move from the junior division into the Worlds Heavyweight Championship picture. Liger was unsuccessful there and now he plans to return to his roots, where he achieved his greatest success. After taking a two month hiatus from FPR, Liger returns to challenge Pillman for the gold!
[b] Junior Championship Match: Jushin Liger def. Brian Pillman (11:33) via brainbuster CRITICAL to become the NEW Champion! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The king is back! Pillman dominated early on but Liger mounted a massive comeback and caught Pillman out of nowhere with the brainbuster to regain the gold! Liger becomes a seven time champion and his time off seems to have done him well. Pillman will no doubt be wanting a rematch but the fans will be the one choosing who Liger defends against first. Liger once again prepares to head into Cyber Saturday as champion!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The 2nd annual FPR Queen's Cup was a memorable one that saw several great matches and a few debuts as well. One of those FPR Debuts was Daizee Haze who has impressed everyone in her outing in the tournament. In round 1, Daizee scored an impressive victory over Luna Vachon and then in round two, she managed to overcome Shinobu Kandori! Kandori, for the second straight year, snapped the arm of her first round opponent in the opening minute. (Last year, Candice Michelle, this year, Cuty Suzuki). It was a huge win for Haze as she continued her impressive run to the top. In round 3, Daizee defeated Sumie Sakai (who defeated Candice in a 20 minute classic) and then in the semi finals she shocked the world by pinning 7 time womens' champion, Victoria. Victoria had at that point been the most dominant in the tournament, with back to back wins over top candidates to win the whole tournament in Akira Hokuto and Amazing Kong. On the other side of the brackets, Ayako Hamada had a breakout performance of her own. In round 1, Hamada smashed former champion, Mickie James and in round two she even defeated the current FPR Women's Champion, Jessica James, both wins coming in under ten minutes. In round three, Hamada defeated one of her top rivals in Maryse. She then advanced to the semi-finals where she put a stop to Lacey Von Erich's string of luck. Now the finals have been set, Daizee Haze vs Ayako Hamada! Hamada has been most dominant while Daizee has been perhaps most impressive, it promises to be a classic and who will come out as this year's Queen!?
[b] Queen's Cup Finals: Daizee Haze def. Ayako Hamada (13:28) after reversing a victory roll into a pinfall [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Daizee Haze's hot streak continues! Hamada had previously dominated her bracket while Daizee managed to overcome the odds each time. This time was no different for Haze who pulled out a major upset here. Like Gina Carano last year, Daizee Haze made her debut in the Queen's Cup and went undefeated to win the whole thing! This can only be the start of what promises to be a great FPR career for Daizee. Hamada thought she had the match won with a victory roll but Haze managed to pull things in her favor. Despite having this match signed, Hamada agreed to also stick to her prior commitment for the later tag team match. After the match both women shook hands as the crowd applauded and Daizee had a big celebration around ringside with the Queen's Cup trophy.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Bret Hart and Triple H have been at war with Generation sXe since it's reformation. The Game and the Hitman have been on Hulk Hogan's side throughout. The last time Bret and HHH faced Aries and Michaels, the match went nearly 30 minutes. They've faced in singles matches as well with Aries beating Bret at WrestleMania and HHH defeating his former partner, Shawn Michaels at that same show. There's been six man tags and of course most recently war games. At the conclusion of Final Burns, the enormous brawl that broke out resulted in FPR Management declaring that these two teams would meet again, this time in an elimination tag team match where both members would have to be defeated to claim victory!
[b] Elimination Tag Team Match: Bret Hart & Triple H def. Austin Aries & Shawn Michaels (25:49)
*HHH forced Michaels to submit to a sleeper hold (23:07)
*HHH pinned Aries after a knee to the head (25:49) [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Bret & HHH trump Generation sXe one more time! This time it was The Game doing the eliminations on both Michaels and Aries to send them packing from the Ultimate Encounter. Never a group to go away easy, we can only wonder what the next move will be.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The Beautiful People have had a hell of a year thus far, being prominently featured each month, having some great matches, and being very high-profile on the cards. Ever since Madison Rayne and Maryse defeated Candice and Hamada at Great American Bash, they have called themselves the unofficial FPR Women's Tag Team Champions. At Final Burns, they split into singles matches where Candice defeated Maryse and Hamada defeated Madison. The dual singles victories have led to a tag team rematch at the Ultimate Encounter where the teams look to settle the score!
[b] Madison Rayne & Maryse def. Candice Michelle & Ayako Hamada (32:54) when Maryse CRITICAL'd Candice with the French Kiss DDT [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The Beautiful People have done it again! Madison Rayne and Maryse have scored their second victory over the very formidable team in Candice and Hamada. It was another great contest as their past encounters have been as well. Madison and Maryse got the major victory and it's boosted their claims even more so that they are indeed the greatest women's tag team of all time. Together they have scored victories over such teams now as Candice and Hamada twice, Angelina and Victoria twice, they've proven they are no fluke and they've backed up their claims thus far. The Beautiful People have continued their petition for women's tag team championships as they carry on the claim of the titles.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Angelina Love & Victoria have had quite the major rivalry. It all began last November when Victoria put Angelina out of action with a Widow's Peak at Survival of the Sickest. Angelina would return in February to rejoin her Beautiful People stablemates and challenge Victoria one on one. Angelina took Victoria to the limit in a match that went over twenty minutes and seemingly gained Angelina, Victoria's respect. Victoria offered a handshake but was beatdown by The Beautiful People, Angelina though left the scene. At WrestleMania, Victoria ran The Beautiful Gauntlet and eventually succumbed to the numbers game again only this time Angelina made the save, chasing her former partners off. At Breakout in April, Angelina faced The Beautiful People for the first time in an eight woman tag where Angelina had officially joined the heroes side against the villains. From there, Angelina and Victoria formed a tag team to combat the Beautiful People. Their team however faced problems and the two had trouble co-existing. After two consecutive losses to Madison and Maryse, the team imploded into an all-out brawl. They met again one on one at Bloodlnes only this time the roles seemed reversed with Victoria being more vicious and utilizing dirty tactics. At the Great American Bash, they got their hands on each other again in a battle royal where they ended up causing the other's elimination. At Final Burns, Victoria defeated Angelina again but Angelina has not had enough. Angelina has challenged Victoria to one last battle inside of a steel cage! It will happen at The Ultimate Encounter in only the second ever women's cage match in FPR history!
[b] Steel Cage Match: Angelina Love def. Victoria (14:11) after the Botox Injection [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Finally! Angelina has defeated Victoria after all these months of heated rivalry. Angelina proved why she wanted one last match with Victoria to prove herself and that is exactly what she did inside the steel cage. The Ultimate Encounter proved to be Angelina's ultimate payoff in this long rivalry.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger have had a breakout this year, most notably ending DX at WrestleMania. They have continued to look strong in recent months and at the Great American Bash, they dominated multiple-time tag team champions, The Briscoes, which earned them a tag team title shot at Final Burns. The match was a wild one and Swagger and Ziggler almost had the tag titles won when Swagger CRITICAL'd Hernandez with the Gutwrench Powerbomb, however Homicide was able to tag himself in mid-move, sneak behind Swagger and in turn, CRITICAL him with his cop killa finisher. Swagger and Ziggler argued that they had the match and have challenged LAX to a rematch, this time in Texas Tornado rules, where everyone - and everything - is legal!
[b] World Tag Team Championship Texas Tornado Match: Latin American XChange def. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (8:53) when Hernandez pinned Ziggler with a pumphandle driver to RETAIN the championships! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Tonight, LAX put the controversy to rest. They retained their belts in a hard fought battle against Ziggler and Swagger but they continue their extremely impressive year with their most impressive reign thus far. LAX will take the tag team titles into Cyber Saturday where you will choose their next opponents. They've been unstoppable for months so who will step up to challenge next? FPR is filled with great tag teams but only one team can be champion!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Jessica James and Alissa Flash have been at odds in their recent exchanges of trading the women's title back and forth for the last several months. Jessica upset Alissa to win the title at Bloodlines but Alissa was quick to win it back at the Great American Bash. At Final Burns, Jessica overcame the odds in a triple threat match to win the title back again. Alissa is cashing in her rematch clause and she's made the challenge for it to be done in a 2/3 falls match. Jessica has accepted and now we will find out which woman will lead the women's championship into Cyber Saturday!
[b] Women's Championship 2/3 Falls Match: Alissa Flash def. Jessica James (21:05) to become the NEW Champion!
*Alissa pinned Jessica after a shoulderbreaker (13:24)
*Alissa pinned Jessica after an elbow drop (7:41)
[/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The title exchange continues between these two as this time it was a dominant performance from Alissa Flash. Alissa wins back the title from Jessica that she lost in a triple threat match last month. Alissa now holds the women's championship a third time as she heads into October where she will certainly face tough competition, her next defnse is up to you!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Last month's Final Burns PPV ended with one of the biggest brawls in FPR history. It seemed everyone was getting involved with stars running out left and right. It all took place at the conclusion of the huge main event showdown between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan. After a battle of truly epic proportions, Austin was victorious and began his first reign as champion, the culmination of his King of the Ring victory back in April and everything he's gone through since. As the match ended, Generation sXe stormed the ring. Punk, Aries, and Michaels were riding high after their War Games victory and they had the night off, so clearly they had just been waiting to see who would become champion at the end of the night. As they beatdown on Hogan and Austin, Triple H and Bret Hart arrived which set the stage for the tag team match earlier tonight. Then The Great Muta got involved, still irate that he was unable to win the world championship on his Money in the Bank cash-in back in June. Muta's current rival, John Cena, put a stop to his attack and they began the brawl that they had earlier where Cena defeated Muta again. Punk was then back on the attack until Mick Foley out of nowhere joined in the fray and put Punk down. We had since learned that Foley stated he reminded Hogan of that favor he owed him from late last year and he wanted a title match but Hogan had lost the title. As Austin recovered, Foley received a shocking Stone Cold Stunner proving that Austin still doesn't trust anybody and he stood tall as champion at the end of that night despite everything. In the week that followed Final Burns, FPR management met to make the decision on who would get the first title shot at Stone Cold's championship and so it was decided that there would be not one challenger - but five! Stone Cold will defend the title in the truly Ultimate Encounter - a six pack challenge! This would mark the first time the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship has been defending in a 6 way in seven years! This way the match would give Hogan his rematch, Cena the title shot he earned but waived by winning the Road 2 GAB, Foley's favor, Muta can aim to avenge his previous losses and Punk can ride his momentum from War Games. It's the ultimate culmination of the ultimate encounter, only one can walk out as CHAMPION!
[b] Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Hulk Hogan, Great Muta, Stone Cold Steve Austin, CM Punk, & John Cena (22:31) to become the NEW CHAMPION!
*Cena eliminated Hogan (13:32) with a sitout back suplex
*Austin eliminated Muta (20:21) via repeated stomps
*Foley eliminated Austin (20:55) via Mandible Claw CRITICAL
*Cena eliminated Punk (21:09) via Attitude Adjustment
*Foley eliminated Cena (22:31) after a tackle [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] One of the most action-packed matches in FPR history with a shocking outcome that nobody saw coming! Mick Foley has won the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship! This match's excitement level never slowed as six of the top stars went at it. Cena shockingly took out Hogan early on as the first elimination and then the following eliminations were rapid-fire. Cena and Foley were the final two and Cena came so close to winning the championship as the ultimate culmination from his Road 2 GAB win but Foley managed to sneak out the win. In just two months, Foley has gone from hardcore champion to the world champion. Stone Cold's title reign has come to a sudden halt and there's no doubt he wants it back with a rematch. Cena is going to be wanting another shot as well. Punk came close to regaining the gold, Muta won't be satisfied and Hogan will always be a threat to the champion. From here, it's all up to you as to who Foley defends against first at Cyber Saturday!

[/b]
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Bob Sapp has once again dominated the Octagon division, and because of that there was not a set number one contender, so Sapp sent out an open challenge for anyone to step into the Octagon for an octagon exhibition match against him. That challenge is answered by the debuting, Scot Summers!
[b] Octagon Exhibition Match: Bob Sapp def. Scot Summers via 1st Round KO (4:42) after a two punch combo [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Sapp dominates again, he heads into his 5th Cyber Saturday as champion next month and it's up to you to decide who challenges him next!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Jamliia Craft has been under Claudia's skin since her debut in FPR two months ago. Claudia has had her share of problems with FPR newcomers this year and this has been no different. Speaking of newcomers, Madison Eagles is another newcomer to FPR, making her debut in the FPR Queen's Cup with an extremely impressive first round outing against Amazing Kong. Different than the others, Eagles has decided to team up with the Angel of Mercy, Claudia, for a tag team match against Jamilia and her partner of choice, Nikki Roxx!
[b] Claudia & Madison Eagles def. Nikki Roxx & Jamilia Craft (25:34) when Eagles pinned Roxx with a rollup [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] A great matchup as Claudia gets another one up on Craft. Madison picks up her first FPR victory with the pinfall on Nikki Roxx. All four women put on a great showing as we head into Cyber Saturday where eight women will vie for #1 contendership, but it's up to you to decide which ones!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Last month, AJ Styles made his bid for the FPR Junior Championship but just barely came up short. AJ was the number one contender after defeating Rey Mysterio and he wanted to win another shot at the title. This month, AJ will try to again become the top contender against Julian Caesaro, who steps away from the tag team scene and looks to gain standing in the junior division.
[b] Julian Caesaro def. AJ Styles (16:32) after the Royale Deluxe [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Caesaro pins AJ in an incredible matchup! These two went move for move as AJ tried to keep things grounded while Julian delivered on the high-flying offense. Caesaro looked to finish things off with an unbelievable top rope dive to the outside as he quickly sent Styles back into the ring but was met with an ace crusher that looked like it would end the match. It was not to be as Julian fought back and delivered the Royale Deluxe to get the huge victory. This win will no doubt propel Caesaro into potential title contention and AJ now faces two consecutive losses on PPV.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Evans & Palmer and the Hardyz have been opposing each other for a few months now. They have set their score at one and one each, last month, Evans and Palmer scored an 8 man tag victory, however they wanted to defeat the Hardyz once and for all. The Hardyz also wanted revenge and to get their win back from the last time, so the two teams looked to settle the score at the Ultimate Encounter!
[b] Robert Evans & Matt Palmer def. The Hardyz (31:16) when Palmer pinned Matt with a hurricarana [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The score has been settled and these two teams went all out to prove themselves! Both teams put forth everything they had including several double-team maneuvers and tag team cooperation. Evans and Palmer defeated the Hardyz and there's no question that they earned the huge victory.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Abdullah the Butcher has ended the reign of Foley which lasted over 8 months. Abdullah has finally become perhaps the new kingpin of hardcore, atleast for now. Abdullah's left Foley's anyone, anywhere, implementations in-tact and because of that, New Jack has decided to challenge Abdullah for the belt in what promises to be a hardcore bloodbath!
[b] Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. New Jack (12:07) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Bloodbath it was indeed. These two brawled around the ring using all sorts of weapons. They traded fork shots to carve up the other's head, shattered lighttubes, this match was most definitely a hardcore deathmatch. In the end, New Jack couldn't put the Butcher down and Abdullah was able to finish him off with his trademark maneuver. Abdullah has been very tough since winning the belt from Mick Foley. Who will challenge him next? That's for you to decide!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Since the Road 2 GAB, Spoiler 2000 has been at odds with Bison Smith and Takeshi Morishima. Spoiler has managed to defeat both men in singles competition despite post-match double-team assaults. At Final Burns, they beat him down again following Spoiler's win over Bison only this time Spoiler was saved by his former rival, Jakob Furis! Spoiler came into FPR as Chris Jericho's hired gun to take out Furis, though his attempts were unsuccessful, they had some major bouts against one another. Now it seems they have moved on and will look to team together to take on Bison Smith and Morishima!
[b] Spoiler 2000 & Jakob Furis def. Takeshi Morishima & Bison Smith (21:24) when Spoiler forced Bison to submit to an abdominal stretch [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The Spoiler/Furis combination proved a successful one! They managed to overcome the strong pairing of Morishima and Bison and Spoiler has three consecutive PPV wins now. Furis and Spoiler were impressive for their first tag team outing and it will be interesting to see if the team up again and where everyone involved goes from here.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The Big Show is heading into a full year as international champion, he's defeated everyone in his path including some tough challenges. Kurt Angle, on the other hand, has been on a path of rage, most especially since the Road 2 GAB Tournament. Angle dominated both Yoshinari Ogawa and Ric Flair to avenge previous losses to them. After soundly defeating Flair, Angle made his intentions known that he would challenge Show to a match for the international championship!
[b] International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Kurt Angle (4:23) via Chokeslam CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Show annihilates Angle and now he will head into Cyber Saturday where he was voted into the title match last year to defeat Mark Henry. Big Show will reach a full year as international champion and at this rate, who can stop him?
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Since winning the junior championship at WrestleMania, Brian Pillman has been seemingly unstoppable. Despite some close calls, Pillman has managed to hold on to the title time and time again. En route to his title win, Pillman defeated his often-times tag team partner, Jushin Liger, in the Super J Cup - a move that caused Liger to re-evaluate his FPR career and attempt to move from the junior division into the Worlds Heavyweight Championship picture. Liger was unsuccessful there and now he plans to return to his roots, where he achieved his greatest success. After taking a two month hiatus from FPR, Liger returns to challenge Pillman for the gold!
[b] Junior Championship Match: Jushin Liger def. Brian Pillman (11:33) via brainbuster CRITICAL to become the NEW Champion! [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The king is back! Pillman dominated early on but Liger mounted a massive comeback and caught Pillman out of nowhere with the brainbuster to regain the gold! Liger becomes a seven time champion and his time off seems to have done him well. Pillman will no doubt be wanting a rematch but the fans will be the one choosing who Liger defends against first. Liger once again prepares to head into Cyber Saturday as champion!
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The 2nd annual FPR Queen's Cup was a memorable one that saw several great matches and a few debuts as well. One of those FPR Debuts was Daizee Haze who has impressed everyone in her outing in the tournament. In round 1, Daizee scored an impressive victory over Luna Vachon and then in round two, she managed to overcome Shinobu Kandori! Kandori, for the second straight year, snapped the arm of her first round opponent in the opening minute. (Last year, Candice Michelle, this year, Cuty Suzuki). It was a huge win for Haze as she continued her impressive run to the top. In round 3, Daizee defeated Sumie Sakai (who defeated Candice in a 20 minute classic) and then in the semi finals she shocked the world by pinning 7 time womens' champion, Victoria. Victoria had at that point been the most dominant in the tournament, with back to back wins over top candidates to win the whole tournament in Akira Hokuto and Amazing Kong. On the other side of the brackets, Ayako Hamada had a breakout performance of her own. In round 1, Hamada smashed former champion, Mickie James and in round two she even defeated the current FPR Women's Champion, Jessica James, both wins coming in under ten minutes. In round three, Hamada defeated one of her top rivals in Maryse. She then advanced to the semi-finals where she put a stop to Lacey Von Erich's string of luck. Now the finals have been set, Daizee Haze vs Ayako Hamada! Hamada has been most dominant while Daizee has been perhaps most impressive, it promises to be a classic and who will come out as this year's Queen!?
[b] Queen's Cup Finals: Daizee Haze def. Ayako Hamada (13:28) after reversing a victory roll into a pinfall [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Daizee Haze's hot streak continues! Hamada had previously dominated her bracket while Daizee managed to overcome the odds each time. This time was no different for Haze who pulled out a major upset here. Like Gina Carano last year, Daizee Haze made her debut in the Queen's Cup and went undefeated to win the whole thing! This can only be the start of what promises to be a great FPR career for Daizee. Hamada thought she had the match won with a victory roll but Haze managed to pull things in her favor. Despite having this match signed, Hamada agreed to also stick to her prior commitment for the later tag team match. After the match both women shook hands as the crowd applauded and Daizee had a big celebration around ringside with the Queen's Cup trophy.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] Bret Hart and Triple H have been at war with Generation sXe since it's reformation. The Game and the Hitman have been on Hulk Hogan's side throughout. The last time Bret and HHH faced Aries and Michaels, the match went nearly 30 minutes. They've faced in singles matches as well with Aries beating Bret at WrestleMania and HHH defeating his former partner, Shawn Michaels at that same show. There's been six man tags and of course most recently war games. At the conclusion of Final Burns, the enormous brawl that broke out resulted in FPR Management declaring that these two teams would meet again, this time in an elimination tag team match where both members would have to be defeated to claim victory!
[b] Elimination Tag Team Match: Bret Hart & Triple H def. Austin Aries & Shawn Michaels (25:49)
*HHH forced Michaels to submit to a sleeper hold (23:07)
*HHH pinned Aries after a knee to the head (25:49) [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] Bret & HHH trump Generation sXe one more time! This time it was The Game doing the eliminations on both Michaels and Aries to send them packing from the Ultimate Encounter. Never a group to go away easy, we can only wonder what the next move will be.
[b] PRESTORY: [/b] The Beautiful People have had a hell of a year thus far, being prominently featured each month, having some great matches, and being very high-profile on the cards. Ever since Madison Rayne and Maryse defeated Candice and Hamada at Great American Bash, they have called themselves the unofficial FPR Women's Tag Team Champions. At Final Burns, they split into singles matches where Candice defeated Maryse and Hamada defeated Madison. The dual singles victories have led to a tag team rematch at the Ultimate Encounter where the teams look to settle the score!
[b] Madison Rayne & Maryse def. Candice Michelle & Ayako Hamada (32:54) when Maryse CRITICAL'd Candice with the French Kiss DDT [/b]
[b] AFTERSTORY: [/b] The Beautiful People have done it again! Madison Rayne and Maryse have scored their second victory over the very formidable team in Candice and Hamada. It was another great contest as their past encounters have been as well. Madison and Maryse got the major victory and it's boosted their claims even more so that they are indeed the greatest women's tag team of all time.

FPR Final Burns 2010 RESULTS/VIDEO
FPR Final Burns 2010
August 21, 2010
Theme Song: Flyleaf - "Again"
Check out the FPR Final Burns highlight video HERE!
http://www.viddler.com/explore/tigerXgroge/videos/35/
PRESTORY: Last month at the Summer Spectacular tag team tournament, The Hardyz defeated Robert Evans & Matt Palmer. They had a rematch at the Great American Bash, where Evans & Palmer avenged their loss and secured victory. This month, they were pit against each other in an eight man tag. The Hardyz joined up with Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro, a team that perhaps knows Evans & Palmer better than anyone. While their opposition joined forces with the tag team of Andy Dalton & The Brian Kendrick, who always remain a threat in the tag team division.
8 Man Tag Team Match: Robert Evans, Matt Palmer, Andy Dalton, & The Brian Kendrick def. Julian Caesaro, Jiggle-O James Johnson, & The Hardyz (19:44) when Evans pinned Caesaro after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Evans scored the surprise pinfall in the midst of a large brawl in the ring and his team were quick to escape from the ring victorious. Evans managed to pin Caesaro, leaving their score with the Hardyz seemingly unsettled.
PRESTORY: Last month, many people believed Bill Goldberg would finally end the Big Show's reign as international champion. Show has held the belt now for 10 months. FPR didn't have a number one contender, so anyone was invited to step up and challenge the Big Show.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Bryan Danielson (13:05) with a running elbow drop to RETAIN the title
AFTERSTORY: Bryan Danielson put up a huge fight, he came close, but in the end it was like the rest of Show's victims...just not enough.
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Jamilia Craft made her FPR debut in an 8 woman battle royal. Craft impressed everyone in attendance as she lasted until the final three, scoring several pinfalls including eliminating former FPR Women's Champion, the Angel of Mercy, Claudia. That didn't set well with Claudia, who always manages to remain a force in the division. Claudia challenged Craft to meet her in the ring, one on one.
Claudia def. Jamilia Craft (12:54) with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY: An exciting back and forth battle saw Claudia use her experience edge to defeat the young up and comer. Craft dominated the early-goings, coming at Claudia with a barrage of offense, one move after another but Claudia fought back. Craft looked to secure the win with a top rope cross body but Claudia again survived. Claudia caught Craft off an irish whip with a cross body of her own for the win. It was another very impressive showing from Craft, who is certainly here to stay, but Claudia was just too much of a challenge at this point. Both women have entered into the second annual, FPR Queen's Cup, which will take place in two weeks time.
PRESTORY: Last month, Bob Sapp annihilated Mirko CroCop, so FPR gave the next shot to the then-#2 contender, Don Frye.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Don Frye via 2nd Round KO (2:04) after a reverse powerbomb (7:04)
AFTERSTORY: Frye put up a fight, lasted a round but Sapp remains dominant. Sapp has lost a few times over the past year, but each time he just comes back stronger. Can anyone stop The Beast for good?
AFTERSTORY: In the Road 2 GAB Tournament, Ric Flair cheated his way to victory over several opponents, most notably Kurt Angle. Angle didn't forget that and got his hands on Flair in a triple threat match at the Great American Bash. Angle chose to finish off Yoshinari Ogawa in that match, leaving Flair open to a one on one match that would take place here at Final Burns!
Kurt Angle def. Ric Flair (11:18) after the Angle Slam
AFTERSTORY: Flair tried to use his dirty tactis again, from eye pokes to chokeholds to biting that caused Angle to bleed. Angle just kept coming and tossed Flair around the ring with several suplexes. Angle ended things effectively with the Angle Slam and his hot streak continues. Following the match, Angle announced that next month, he will challenge The Big Show for the FPR International Championship! Angle hopes to capitalize on the momentum he has now to carry him into championship gold.
PRESTORY: Last month, Mick Foley was finally defeated for the hardcore deathmatch title. Perhaps, Foley's open invitational for anyone to step up into the division finally caught up to him as Abdullah the Butcher became new champion. Foley would invoke his rematch clause at Final Burns.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (14:47) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the title
AFTERSTORY: Abdullah proved his win was no fluke as he has defeated Foley a second time. Foley will look to move on from the title while we look to find out who Abdullah will defend against next.
PRESTORY: In the Road 2 GAB tournament, Takeshi Morishima defeated Spoiler 2000. Spoiler thought for sure that tournament was his to win but it was not to be. Spoiler challenged Morishima to a rematch at the Great American Bash where he was victorious. After the match however, Spoiler was attacked from behind by Bison Smith. Bison and Morishima seemed to form some sort of alliance as they beatdown Spoiler. In the weeks that followed, Spoiler recovered and challenged Bison to take him on in the ring, one on one.
Spoiler 2000 def. Bison Smith (15:58) with a rollup
AFTERSTORY: Another successful victory for Spoiler! Spoiler now overcame both his rivals in back to back months. Like last month, Spoiler was again attacked, this time by Morishima. Morishima and Bison double-teamed Spoiler until Jakob Furis ran out for the save! An unlikely aid to say the least, as Spoiler was Chris Jericho's hired gun to take out Furis not long ago. But it seems things have changed. Furis and Spoiler will team up for the first time to take on Bison & Morishima next month at The Ultimate Encounter!
PRESTORY: Brian Pillman has been a dominant junior champion since winning the belt at WrestleMania. At Bloodlines, he beat Rey Mysterio to retain the title and after that match, AJ Styles beatdown Mysterio. Rey had beaten AJ in a contenders match to get that shot. Last month at the Great American Bash, AJ backed up his words and defeated Rey in a match. AJ's dominance was impressive and earned him the title shot at Pillman at Final Burns.
Junior Championship Match: Brian Pillman def. AJ Styles (15:17) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship
AFTERSTORY: Pillman does it again! A back and forth competitive battle, AJ gave it his all. Pillman caught him off-guard with a backslide, something AJ tried earlier in the match, to win and retain his title. Pillman will be ready though as it has been confirmed that next month, Jushin Liger will return to the junior division looking to reclaim the title of the division he once dominated!
PRESTORY: The Beautiful People tandem of Madison Rayne and Maryse have been at odds with Candice Michelle and Ayako Hamada for several months now. At the Great American Bash, The Beautiful People scored the upset and defeated Candice and Hamada. Since then, they have proclaimed themselves the unofficial FPR women's tag team champions as they believe they are the best team. This month at Final Burns, the tag team feud has been split into singles matches.
Ayako Hamada def. Madison Rayne (11:32) with the Hamada Driver
Candice MIchelle def. Maryse (16:34) with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Hamada and Candice sweep the Beautiful People in singles this month! Both great battles but in the end, Candice & Hamada both got a little bit of payback. It's safe to say this feud will be continuing as the Beautiful People never let things go that easily.
PRESTORY: Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger have regained their early-year momentum as of late and last month, they capped things off with a dominant, impressive victory over 8 time former tag team champions, and 2009 tag team of the year, The Briscoes. Their win streak was something that could not be overlooked and they were granted a title shot against the reigning champions, LAX
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Latin American XChange def. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (9:52) when Homicide CRITICAL'd Swagger with the Gringo Killer to RETAIN the championships
*Swagger CRITICAL'd Hernandez (9:22) with the gutwrench powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: An exciting, action-packed brawl with a wild ending! Swagger and Ziggler were nearly tag team champions as Swagger lifted Hernandez up, Homicide managed to tag himself in, Swagger completed the Gutwrench Powerbomb with a CRITICAL on Hernandez. Hernandez was no longer legal, which allowed Homicide to sneak in from behind and drill Swagger with the Gringo Killer and CRITICAL him right back to retain the tag team titles in an unbelievable sequence.
PRESTORY: The rivalry between Angelina Love and Victoria is well-documented dating back to late last year. Most recently, in June, Victoria defeated Angelina at Bloodlines after their attempt at a tag team failed. Last month at the Great American Bash, Angelina managed to eliminate Victoria en route to the final two of the battle. However, Victoria would return at the match's end to cost Angelina the match, distracting her which led to Lacey Von Erich's victory. Angelina was irate and challenged Victoria to a rematch once again at Final Burns.
Victoria def. Angelina Love (15:18) after a backdrop
AFTERSTORY: Another tough battle between these two sees Victoria come out victorious again. Angelina almost had the match won when she managed to pop up from the Widow's Peak with a burst of adrenaline and dropped Victoria with her Lights Out finisher. However both women were hurt and couldn't capitalize. Victoria went on to win the match and stand tall in the end. Angelina, we know is still not satisfied and it remains to be seen if there will be one more rematch.
PRESTORY: Last month's Road 2 GAB finals saw John Cena overcome The Great Muta. Muta was hoping to get another shot at the title after failing in his money in the bank cash in. Muta didn't let things go and destroyed Cena after the match, making him bleed badly and brutalizing him. When Cena recovered, he waived the title shot he won in order to get Muta back in the ring. A street fight was signed between the two that had become huge enemies. Cena got his revenge and beat Muta in the street fight. However the feud wasn't quite over as Muta was in disbelief that Cena still had his number. A rematch was signed this time under I Quit rules!
I Quit Match: John Cena def. The Great Muta (22:52) with the STF
AFTERSTORY: Cena prevails again! Muta threw everything he had at Cena, re-opening his previous cuts, blinding him with mist, stabbing him with a fork and more. But Cena kept on giving as much as he was receiving. The two battled on for over twenty minutes in a true war. In the end, Cena locked Muta in the STF for the win. Cena triumphs over Muta one more time!
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Lacey Von Erich shocked the world when she came out the winner of the eight woman battle royal. Lacey's win, no matter how it came about, was no doubt impressive. Later that night, Alissa Flash won back the FPR Women's Championship from Jessica James. Jessica and Alissa' series wasn't over but Lacey had to be considered a contender as well. It was decided that Alissa would defend it in a triple threat match against former champ, Jessica James, and number one contender, Lacey Von Erich!
Women's Championship Match: Jessica James def. Alissa Flash & Lacey Von Erich (11:17) when she pinned Alissa after the scorpion kick to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Jessica managed to come out on top! Several times it looked like all three had their chance to win the match. Lacey got busted open early on and was almost finished early but she kept fighting. In the end, Alissa looked to have the match won and she pinned Lacey but Jessica caught her with the scorpion kick from behind, out of nowhere. Jessica then made the pin on Alissa and became the champion once again! Alissa will be wanting her rematch ASAP but Lacey can also claim that she was not pinned.
PRESTORY: And so the stage was set for the showdown in the main event. A rematch from the main event of last year's Cyber Saturday. Reigning worlds heavyweight champion, Hulk Hogan, defending his championship against the 2010 King of the Ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Last month at Great American Bash, Hogan led his team into War Games. They were unsuccessful in their war against Generation sXe. And at the end of the night, Stone Cold cleared house to remind everyone just who would be getting the next world title shot. That night ended with Austin and Hogan having brief eye contact as both men knew what they were headed into. Stone Cold vs Hulkamania, the Stunner vs the Leg Drop, all on the line for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight title!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Hulk Hogan (15:52) after the Stone Cold Stunner to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Four stunners later, Stone Cold Steve Austin has become FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion for the first time! Austin's KOTR win and year-long battles have paid off. This match was a brutal war that saw neither man willing to give up and both men trying their hardest. The match lived up to it's hype and may have matched his predecessor that the fans voted for last year. Their score against one another now lies at 1-1 with Austin now holding the gold. After the match concluded, both men remained down. Austin began stirring first after he was handed the world championship, hearing his music blare through the arena. But before long, Generation sXe arrived on the scene! Punk, Michaels, and Aries entered the ring and began to beatdown the new champion. The group had remained quiet all night, seemingly biding their time since winning last month's War Games but they made their statement here. They soon began beating down Hogan as well as Austin. Until Triple H & Bret Hart came running down to even the odds. Bret and the Game took Aries and Michaels through the ropes and out the ring as the brawl continued. Punk remained in the ring and mounted Hogan with punches. The Great Muta then arrived out of nowhere and attacked Stone Cold! Not far behind him was John Cena, who as soon as he saw Muta get involved, was right on his tail! Cena and Muta's war from earlier continued on here. Punk looked to lift up Hogan for the Go to Sleep but suddenly, Mick Foley rolled into the ring and applied the Mandible Claw on Punk! Stone Cold got back to his feet and has soon has he got to a vertical base, he looked ahead and dropped Foley with the Stone Cold Stunner! Austin looked to go after Punk next but Punk rolled out of the ring still in pain from the mandible claw. Punk avoided the stunner as he did last month but also like last month, Stone Cold stood tall again! Glass Shatters hit once again as Austin raised his newly won worlds heavyweight championship admist all the chaos. The Austin Era has begun and what will happen next!?

PRESTORY: Last month at the Summer Spectacular tag team tournament, The Hardyz defeated Robert Evans & Matt Palmer. They had a rematch at the Great American Bash, where Evans & Palmer avenged their loss and secured victory. This month, they were pit against each other in an eight man tag. The Hardyz joined up with Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro, a team that perhaps knows Evans & Palmer better than anyone. While their opposition joined forces with the tag team of Andy Dalton & The Brian Kendrick, who always remain a threat in the tag team division.
8 Man Tag Team Match: Robert Evans, Matt Palmer, Andy Dalton, & The Brian Kendrick def. Julian Caesaro, Jiggle-O James Johnson, & The Hardyz (19:44) when Evans pinned Caesaro after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Evans scored the surprise pinfall in the midst of a large brawl in the ring and his team were quick to escape from the ring victorious. Evans managed to pin Caesaro, leaving their score with the Hardyz seemingly unsettled.
PRESTORY: Last month, many people believed Bill Goldberg would finally end the Big Show's reign as international champion. Show has held the belt now for 10 months. FPR didn't have a number one contender, so anyone was invited to step up and challenge the Big Show.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Bryan Danielson (13:05) with a running elbow drop to RETAIN the title
AFTERSTORY: Bryan Danielson put up a huge fight, he came close, but in the end it was like the rest of Show's victims...just not enough.
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Jamilia Craft made her FPR debut in an 8 woman battle royal. Craft impressed everyone in attendance as she lasted until the final three, scoring several pinfalls including eliminating former FPR Women's Champion, the Angel of Mercy, Claudia. That didn't set well with Claudia, who always manages to remain a force in the division. Claudia challenged Craft to meet her in the ring, one on one.

FPR Great American Bash 2010 Results!
FPR The Great American Bash 2010
July 31, 2010
Theme Song: Creed - "Overcome"
Check out the FPR Great American Bash 2010 Highlight Video HERE!
http://www.viddler.com/explore/tigerXgroge/videos/34/
PRESTORY: For the last two years an eight woman battle royal has been featured at the Great American Bash. In 2008, Angelina Love debuted and won the match in impressive fashion. Last year, Angelina made lightning strike twice against even heavier competition. This year eight women would again enter the battle, so in the build-up we took a look at all eight competitors.
Angelina Love: Angelina has won both previous Great American Bash battle royals and has entered a third one to continue that streak. Angelina has had her recent problems with Victoria, a rivalry that led to a short-term partnership that seemingly has led back to the initial rivalry with the roles somewhat reversed. Angelina hoped to come out with her third GAB victory and lead to a potential future title shot.
Athena: Athena entered the battle royal in hopes of making a name for herself. She has been impressive in all her outings in FPR thus far and she entered the match looking for the biggest win of her career.
Claudia: The Angel of Mercy is a former women's champion and recently lost a number one contenders match against Jessica James. Claudia entered the battle royal looking to once again move towards the women's championship that she once held.
Jamilia Craft: Jamilia Craft would be making her FPR debut here in this match. Craft has a huge opportunity to have the most impressive of debuts. Craft hopes to have the same luck that Angelina Love did when she debuted two years ago.
Lacey Von Erich: Some call it luck, some say it's skill. Regardless, Lacey Von Erich has managed to almost always come up with impressive wins. She went undefeated for four months until finally being defeated by "Best in the World" Candice Michelle at WrestleMania. Lacey bounced back and defeated Candice and Hamada in a 3 way two months ago, now she looked for the ultimate in impressive victories.
Maria Menounos: Most recently, Menounos was the number one contender involved in a several month long feud with then-champion, Alissa Flash. Menounos entered the battle royal looking to reclaim her spot near the top of the rankings.
Michelle McCool: Michelle McCool was involved in the GAB battle royal two years ago and came up short. McCool has stuck around in FPR but has been unable to find her niche. Here, she looked to finally make that impact and shoot straight to the top of the division.
Victoria: Upon hearing of Angelina Love's entry into the battle, Victoria claimed the last spot. After her team with Angelina Love seemingly imploded a few months ago, they went one on one last month where Victoria came out with the victory. At the Great American Bash, they would meet again this time in the battle royal.
8 Woman Battle Royal: Lacey Von Erich def. Athena, Michelle McCool, Victoria, Maria Menounos, Claudia, Jamilia Craft, & Angelina Love (24:49)
*Craft pinned Athena (17:06) with a victory roll
*Craft pinned McCool (17:50) with a victory roll
*Angelina pinned Victoria (18:03) after a collision
*Claudia pinned Menounos (20:01) with a german suplex
*Craft pinned Claudia (24:05) with a victory roll
*Lacey pinned Craft (24:36) after Angelina used a snap suplex
*Lacey pinned Angelina (24:49) with a small package
AFTERSTORY: Once again, Lacey Von Erich has done the impossible! Nobody figured Lacey would actually be able to pull out the win but she has done it. Lacey bided her time and snuck in near the end for what many could once again see has luck in the case of the right place, right time. Jamilia Craft was extremely impressive in her debut with the first two eliminations. A pivotal point in the match saw a huge collision take place with Angelina landing on top of Victoria to eliminate her primary rival. Claudia eliminated Menounos and Craft picked up a huge pinfall on the former women's champion. In the end, Lacey, who had been sneaking around the ring for the match's majority, watched Craft and Angelina battle it out. Angelina hit Craft with a devastating snap suplex, Lacey ran in and placed her foot on Craft for the elimination and then as Angelina recovered, Victoria returned to ringside. Lacey was quick to capitalize on the distraction and rolled up Angelina for the shocking victory. Angelina had come so close to pulling off an incredible three straight years but her dream was sabotaged. Lacey Von Erich's unbelievable streak of major victories continues as she picks up potentially the biggest of her career thus far. Angelina was in disbelief knowing she just about had the match won. Her rivalry with Victoria looks to continue as Lacey will be celebrating her victory for some time.
PRESTORY: Last month, Rey Mysterio defeated AJ Styles in a number one contenders match to win a Junior title match against Brian Pillman at Bloodlines. Pillman defeated Mysterio to retain and as the match concluded, Styles attacked Mysterio from behind and beat him down. Mysterio challenged Styles to a rematch to take place at the Great American Bash, which Styles accepted, looking to prove Mysterio's last win was a fluke.
AJ Styles def. Rey Mysterio (12:46) with the Styles Clash
AFTERSTORY: AJ was dominant and was definitely out with something to prove. Styles gains a big win here over Mysterio that could catapult him to become the next number one contender to the Junior title.
PRESTORY: In the Summer Spectacular tag team tournament earlier this month, Kevin Douglas debuted alongside JT Lamotta forming a new tag team. In the first round, they were defeated by the Dark Circle. The Dark Circle went on to the semi finals but Lamotta & Douglas wanted a rematch and that's what they got at the Great American Bash!

AFTERSTORY: A good showing by both teams but in the end result remained the same. Apocalypse & Tim Storm are on a bit of a hot streak as of late.
PRESTORY: On the Summer Sizzler tour leading up to the Great American Bash, a mini-series of three Octagon matches were held to determine a #1 contender to Bob Sapp's title. Mirko CroCop defeated both Fedor Emelianenko and former Octagon champ, Brock Lesnar to earn a shot at the title.

PRESTORY: Spoiler 2000 had an impressive showing in the Road 2 GAB tournament, advancing into the third round before he was ultimately stopped by Takeshi Morishima. Morishima went on to lose in the semi-finals and Spoiler wanted a rematch to avenge his loss against the man that stopped him from winning the tournament.
Spoiler 2000 def. Takeshi Morishima (15:36) via submission with the claw
AFTERSTORY: A hard fought battle that was very back and forth saw Spoiler manage to pull out the win. Both men gave it everything they had but in the end Spoiler made Morishima bleed and submit to the claw hold. After the match, Bison Smith arrived and attacked Spoiler! Smith, who dominated last month's battle royal and was equally impressive in the Road 2 GAB tournament, seems to be taking out his frustrations at his loss on Spoiler. That or he's forming some sort of alliance with Morishima. Nonetheless, Spoiler will be wanting to get Bison in the ring, a potential claw vs claw match looks to be in the future!
PRESTORY: Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro did good in the Summer Spectacular tournament but lost to the eventual winners. Their showing earned them a spot on the card so they were paired with Jakob Furis in a six man tag. A team was formed to oppose them in Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, and The Miz!
6 Man Tag Team Match: Jiggle-O James Johnson, Julian Caesaro, & Jakob Furis def. Dashing Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, & The Miz (26:45) when Furis pinned Cody after a neckbreaker
PRESTORY: Round three of the Summer Spectacular saw The Hardyz defeat Simply Irresistible in a match that went thirty minutes! It was a classic tag team battle that the Hardyz won to advance on to the eventual finals. Evans & Palmer were dominant prior to that match, so of course they wanted another shot at the Hardyz.
Robert Evans & Matt Palmer def. The Hardyz (19:52) when Palmer pinned Matt with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY: This time, they won the rematch! The two teams are now 1-1 when it comes to facing each other and this match was equally as fast paced and exciting as their first encounter.
PRESTORY: Brian Pillman has been dominating the Junior division since winning the title at WrestleMania, defeating everyone who came at him. After his win over Rey Mysterio last month, in the weeks that followed, Evan Bourne sent out a challenge to the champion. Pillman accepted and Bourne looked to become champion for the first time!
Junior Championship Match: Brian Pillman def. Evan Bourne (12:50) with a high cross body to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Pillman retains again but this was his toughest match to date. Bourne came at him with everything he had and garnered more near-falls than we can count. It looked for sure like Bourne would win the title but Pillman managed to pull off the win and retain his title. At this point, many are wondering who will be able to take the title from Pillman. Rumors are circulating that Jushin Liger may be returning to the junior division soon..perhaps he will be the next challenger?
PRESTORY: One of the most impressive teams in the Summer Spectacular tournament was Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger. The team that ended DX at WrestleMania seemed to be trying to put it all together since then and it seemed like they finally had in the tournament. Ziggler & Swagger gained two major victories over Lex Luger & Sting and The Outsiders before being defeated by the eventual winners of the tournament, Team 3D. However, Ziggler & Swagger's victories were enough that they decided their next move would be to challenge the tag team that many consider the best in FPR, former 8 time tag team champions, The Briscoes!
Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger def. The Briscoes (13:50) when Swagger CRITICAL'd Jay with the Gutwrench Powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: Ziggler & Swagger continue to top their previous victories! And to say The Briscoes have been in a slump since losing the tag team titles would be an understatement. Ziggler and Swagger defeated arguably the best team in FPR and not only that, they did so in relatively quick and dominant fashion with a CRITICAL finish. Ziggler & Swagger definitely have to be in consideration for a tag team title shot.
PRESTORY: Ever since Mick Foley invited all comers to take him on for the hardcore deathmatch title, he's been under fire all the time. First he managed to overcome Tiger Jeet Singh, then was quickly attacked by Mr. Pogo. Foley got the best of Pogo and defeated him too. This month, Abdullah the Butcher has stepped up to challenge Foley in the deathmatch ring!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (9:27) with the running elbow drop to become the NEW champion!
AFTERSTORY: Foley must have finally had too much. Abdullah battered him with weapons until he dropped the elbow to finally end Foley's great title reign. Foley took on everyone but now Abdullah will have to do the same.
PRESTORY: In the Road 2 GAB tournament, Ric Flair seemed hellbent on winning the tournament to get a title shot against Hogan. He defeated both Kurt Angle and Yoshinari Ogawa in the tournament but eventually lost in the semi-finals. Angle accused Flair of cheating and he wanted a rematch. Ogawa, who was choked out by Flair, wanted another shot as well as last year he was the tournament winner. Angle welcomed the addition to a three way as he still had it in for Ogawa, who beat him in the Road 2 GAB Finals last year.
Triple Threat Match: Kurt Angle def. Ric Flair & Yoshinari Ogawa (18:23) when he forced Ogawa to submit to repeated knee strikes
AFTERSTORY: Angle was an absolute monster in the match here and took it to both Ogawa and Flair. In the end, Angle had both men down and it was up to him to decide which one he was going to finish off. He chose Ogawa, opting for the revenge from last year rather than Flair from this year. Angle looked dominant and is undoubtedly very pleased with his victory.
PRESTORY: Stone Cold Steve Austin and Chris Jericho's rivalry began at the end of last year and has only escalated since. Ever since Austin won the King of the Ring tournament, Jericho has been doing whatever he could to take him down. Jericho challenged him to a match back in May which he lost, falling prey to the Stunner. Jericho was out of action after that, so he sent Spoiler 2000 to take down Stone Cold, but he too was defeated. Jericho wouldn't give up though and was continuing to do whatever it took to stop Stone Cold. Earlier this month, Jericho officially made the challenge to put his career on the line against Stone Cold, with Austin putting up his KOTR title shot for next month on the line. Austin accepted and the match was made. Austin's Shot vs Jericho's career!
Title Shot vs Career: Steve Austin def. Chris Jericho (10:42) via Stunner CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Chris Jericho's career has ended at the hands of a Stone Cold CRITICAL! Jericho gave it absolutely everything he had, locking in the Walls of Jericho multiple times including outside the ring, launching Austin from the top rope, using a steel chair, but it just wasn't enough. Austin's been unstoppable since winning KOTR and now he has it set in stone for certain that he will be challenging Hulk Hogan for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship next month at Final Burns in what will be a rematch of last year's Cyber Saturday main event! Last time, the fans voted for it and this time Austin's fought for it. Jericho received an ovation for his efforts and we have to wonder if we'll ever see Chris Jericho in FPR again.
PRESTORY: Three months ago at Redemption, Madison Rayne & Maryse scored what many considered an upset victory over Angelina Love & Victoria. It was indeed a huge win for them and they met in a rematch two weeks later. The Beautiful People proved it was no fluke and defeated Love & Victoria again in a match twice as long as their first. Since then, The Beautiful People have considered themselves FPR's greatest women's tag team. At Bloodlines, they were challenged by a strong tag team of Ayako Hamada and "Best in the World" Candice Michelle. Candice & Hamada beat Madison & Maryse albeit in controversial fashion as Maryse seemingly broke up the pin as the 3 count was counted. The match was awarded to Candice and Hamada, which of course sparked complaints from The Beautiful People. A rematch challenge was quickly accepted and they were set for the Great American Bash!
Madison Rayne & Maryse def. Candice Michelle & Hamada (32:21) when Maryse pinned Candice after the French Kiss DDT
AFTERSTORY: Shockingly enough, The Beautiful People reign supreme! A very great match saw action inside and outside the ring. Madison and Maryse were always there when one of them was pinned, constantly making the save. Hamada and Candice delivered several big moves but The Beautiful People managed to time everything just right. Maryse nailed Candice with the French Kiss right as Hamada lifted Madison in the air with a spiral powerbomb and Maryse scored the pinfall. Madison and Maryse have been riding high after their win as this coupled with Lacey's huge win earlier in the night made the Bash a great night for them. Maryse & Madison have been calling themselves the unofficial women's tag team champions of FPR after defeating Hamada & Candice.
PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, Bill Goldberg won the showcase battle royal by pinning Mike Foxx. After that, The Faithful went after Goldberg but that has since changed to Goldberg going after the Faithful! After 'Mania, they took Goldberg out and Foxx took his spot in the King of the Ring tournament. Goldberg returned at Redemption and tore through Foxx. Last month he destroyed Hardcore Holly and later that night speared The Big Show to make his intentions known that he was coming for Show next - and his international championship as well!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Goldberg (15:32) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Big Show's dominance might not be able to be stopped! Goldberg definitely gave him a run for his money though. Goldberg came close on numerous occasions to taking the title but Big Show managed to put a stop to Goldberg's run through the Faithful.
PRESTORY: The Latin American XChange's latest reign as tag team champions has been more dominant than ever. In May, they became the first reigning champions to win the entire Real World Tag League and they defended the belts successfully against The Briscoes in that same night! With 3 wins that night, they took a month off that they earned by winning the league. Meanwhile the Summer Spectacular tournament took place to determine who would get the next shot at LAX. Team 3D won the tournament and looked to become tag champions once again!
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Latin American XChange def. Team 3D (17:38) when Homicide pinned Devon with a sitout DVD to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: LAX's dominance continued and their month off must have only helped them and not hindered their performance at all. 3D may have won the tournament but they don't win the titles here.
PRESTORY: Last month, The Great Muta cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Hulk Hogan, moments after Hogan won a grueling Last Man Standing match against CM Punk. Hogan managed to go another fifteen minutes and overcome Muta's attempt. Hulkamania ran wild and there was no doubt that Muta was furious that he lost his chance. Muta went backstage and trashed his locker room until being somewhat calmed down by The Great Kabuki, Gary Hart, and FPR officials. At the beginning of the month, the fifth annual Road 2 GAB tournament took place and Muta entered it hoping to win the tournament so that he could get another shot at Hogan. Muta went all the way, just as he set out to do and made it to the finals of the tournament. However it was there in the finals that he met John Cena one on one. Cena defeated Muta and won the Road 2 GAB Tournament! Cena, a former FPR Worlds Champion, had a chance to once again become champion but as soon as he begun celebrating his tournament victory, Muta ambushed him from behind with a steel chair. Muta assaulted Cena , bloodied him and beat him down, leaving him laying in a pool of his own blood. Cena was stretchered out that night and when he recovered, he only wanted one thing and that was Muta in the ring. Cena agreed to waive his title shot that he won in the tournament to get to Muta! So the match was set for the Great American Bash in a street fight, no rules, there must be a winner!
Street Fight: John Cena def. The Great Muta (13:14) with a sitout back suplex
AFTERSTORY: Cena managed to get his ultimate revenge but it was not without a fight! These two went at it with pure hatred as Muta reopened the previous cuts on Cena's head. Cena fought back valiantly and dropped Muta with the Attitude Adjustment with blood dripping from his head as he found his way to victory! Cena has overcome The Great Muta and now perhaps he will refocus on the world championship again.
PRESTORY: Jessica James has had a very impressive road to the top and a quick one at that. Jessica got the best of Claudia in their feud that began several months ago, ultimately defeating her in a 2/3 falls match to become #1 contender. Last month at Bloodlines, Jessica surprised everyone when she won the women's title from Alissa Flash. Alissa was certainly caught off guard by Jessica's challenge and tonight was her rematch.
Women's Championship Match: Alissa Flash def. Jessica James (9:53) after a russian leg sweep to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Alissa takes back the belt from Jessica in a hard fought battle. Jessica surprised everyone last month when she won the belt and Alissa made sure her reign was a short one. Jessica will surely be looking for another shot though as this feud progresses over the women's championship.
PRESTORY: All year, CM Punk has been after Hulk Hogan and the worlds heavyweight championship. After Punk won the Royal Battle in January, he re-formed Generation sXe with Austin Aries and Shawn Michaels as they secured that Punk won the championship at WrestleMania from Hogan. Along the way, they made several enemies, most notably Bret Hart, who Aries helped Punk defeat at Valentine's Massacre and Triple H, who was betrayed when DX was forced to disband only for Michaels to rejoin Punk and Aries later that night. Hogan, Bret, and Triple H would join together to defeat Generation sXe in a six man tag at Breakout following Punk's win at Mania. That six man victory ensured that Hogan would receive his rematch at Redemption in May. Hogan won back the title there and Punk's rematch took place in a Last Man Standing bout last month at Bloodlines. Hogan was once again victorious but Punk and his group were not going to go down lightly or without a major fight. The challenge was made for War Games to take place at the Great American Bash! Hogan, Hart, and Triple H aligned with Bret's longtime ally, Samoa Joe to complete their team while Punk hired a masked man to team up with Generation sXe.
(MAIN EVENT) War Games Match: CM Punk, Austin Aries, Shawn Michaels, & Masked Man def. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Triple H, & Samoa Joe (24:07) when Michaels forced Bret to submit!
AFTERSTORY: It was truly a war inside the steel cage and admist all the chaos, Generation sXe managed to sneak out the victory! A very brutal battle until the very end which saw Michaels lock Bret in a steel cage assisted figure four leglock which forced the surrender and gained the victory. The fighting continued after the match as Generation sXe took full control and eventually stood tall in the ring. Punk began celebrating to a chorus of boos. Aries was dripping blood since early on in the match after being slammed into the steel. As they continued the beatdown, glass shattered and Stone Cold Steve Austin arrived! Punk quickly bailed from the ring and Shawn was behind him. Austin entered the cage there after and caught a hold of the masked man, delivering the Stone Cold Stunner! Aries was trapped in the ring and began scaling the cage but Austin caught a hold of him and pulled him down to deliver another Stunner! Stone Cold stood tall in the ring making sure nobody forgets that next month he's got the title shot. As Hogan began to recover, he and Austin made brief eye contact, acknowledging one another as the show came to a close.

Theme Song: Creed - "Overcome"
Check out the FPR Great American Bash 2010 Highlight Video HERE!
http://www.viddler.com/explore/tigerXgroge/videos/34/
PRESTORY: For the last two years an eight woman battle royal has been featured at the Great American Bash. In 2008, Angelina Love debuted and won the match in impressive fashion. Last year, Angelina made lightning strike twice against even heavier competition. This year eight women would again enter the battle, so in the build-up we took a look at all eight competitors.
Angelina Love: Angelina has won both previous Great American Bash battle royals and has entered a third one to continue that streak. Angelina has had her recent problems with Victoria, a rivalry that led to a short-term partnership that seemingly has led back to the initial rivalry with the roles somewhat reversed. Angelina hoped to come out with her third GAB victory and lead to a potential future title shot.
Athena: Athena entered the battle royal in hopes of making a name for herself. She has been impressive in all her outings in FPR thus far and she entered the match looking for the biggest win of her career.
Claudia: The Angel of Mercy is a former women's champion and recently lost a number one contenders match against Jessica James. Claudia entered the battle royal looking to once again move towards the women's championship that she once held.
Jamilia Craft: Jamilia Craft would be making her FPR debut here in this match. Craft has a huge opportunity to have the most impressive of debuts. Craft hopes to have the same luck that Angelina Love did when she debuted two years ago.
Lacey Von Erich: Some call it luck, some say it's skill. Regardless, Lacey Von Erich has managed to almost always come up with impressive wins. She went undefeated for four months until finally being defeated by "Best in the World" Candice Michelle at WrestleMania. Lacey bounced back and defeated Candice and Hamada in a 3 way two months ago, now she looked for the ultimate in impressive victories.
Maria Menounos: Most recently, Menounos was the number one contender involved in a several month long feud with then-champion, Alissa Flash. Menounos entered the battle royal looking to reclaim her spot near the top of the rankings.
Michelle McCool: Michelle McCool was involved in the GAB battle royal two years ago and came up short. McCool has stuck around in FPR but has been unable to find her niche. Here, she looked to finally make that impact and shoot straight to the top of the division.
Victoria: Upon hearing of Angelina Love's entry into the battle, Victoria claimed the last spot. After her team with Angelina Love seemingly imploded a few months ago, they went one on one last month where Victoria came out with the victory. At the Great American Bash, they would meet again this time in the battle royal.
8 Woman Battle Royal: Lacey Von Erich def. Athena, Michelle McCool, Victoria, Maria Menounos, Claudia, Jamilia Craft, & Angelina Love (24:49)

*Craft pinned Claudia (24:05) with a victory roll
*Lacey pinned Craft (24:36) after Angelina used a snap suplex
*Lacey pinned Angelina (24:49) with a small package
AFTERSTORY: Once again, Lacey Von Erich has done the impossible! Nobody figured Lacey would actually be able to pull out the win but she has done it. Lacey bided her time and snuck in near the end for what many could once again see has luck in the case of the right place, right time. Jamilia Craft was extremely impressive in her debut with the first two eliminations. A pivotal point in the match saw a huge collision take place with Angelina landing on top of Victoria to eliminate her primary rival. Claudia eliminated Menounos and Craft picked up a huge pinfall on the former women's champion. In the end, Lacey, who had been sneaking around the ring for the match's majority, watched Craft and Angelina battle it out. Angelina hit Craft with a devastating snap suplex, Lacey ran in and placed her foot on Craft for the elimination and then as Angelina recovered, Victoria returned to ringside. Lacey was quick to capitalize on the distraction and rolled up Angelina for the shocking victory. Angelina had come so close to pulling off an incredible three straight years but her dream was sabotaged. Lacey Von Erich's unbelievable streak of major victories continues as she picks up potentially the biggest of her career thus far. Angelina was in disbelief knowing she just about had the match won. Her rivalry with Victoria looks to continue as Lacey will be celebrating her victory for some time.
PRESTORY: Last month, Rey Mysterio defeated AJ Styles in a number one contenders match to win a Junior title match against Brian Pillman at Bloodlines. Pillman defeated Mysterio to retain and as the match concluded, Styles attacked Mysterio from behind and beat him down. Mysterio challenged Styles to a rematch to take place at the Great American Bash, which Styles accepted, looking to prove Mysterio's last win was a fluke.

AFTERSTORY: LAX's dominance continued and their month off must have only helped them and not hindered their performance at all. 3D may have won the tournament but they don't win the titles here.
PRESTORY: Last month, The Great Muta cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Hulk Hogan, moments after Hogan won a grueling Last Man Standing match against CM Punk. Hogan managed to go another fifteen minutes and overcome Muta's attempt. Hulkamania ran wild and there was no doubt that Muta was furious that he lost his chance. Muta went backstage and trashed his locker room until being somewhat calmed down by The Great Kabuki, Gary Hart, and FPR officials. At the beginning of the month, the fifth annual Road 2 GAB tournament took place and Muta entered it hoping to win the tournament so that he could get another shot at Hogan. Muta went all the way, just as he set out to do and made it to the finals of the tournament. However it was there in the finals that he met John Cena one on one. Cena defeated Muta and won the Road 2 GAB Tournament! Cena, a former FPR Worlds Champion, had a chance to once again become champion but as soon as he begun celebrating his tournament victory, Muta ambushed him from behind with a steel chair. Muta assaulted Cena , bloodied him and beat him down, leaving him laying in a pool of his own blood. Cena was stretchered out that night and when he recovered, he only wanted one thing and that was Muta in the ring. Cena agreed to waive his title shot that he won in the tournament to get to Muta! So the match was set for the Great American Bash in a street fight, no rules, there must be a winner!
Street Fight: John Cena def. The Great Muta (13:14) with a sitout back suplex
AFTERSTORY: Cena managed to get his ultimate revenge but it was not without a fight! These two went at it with pure hatred as Muta reopened the previous cuts on Cena's head. Cena fought back valiantly and dropped Muta with the Attitude Adjustment with blood dripping from his head as he found his way to victory! Cena has overcome The Great Muta and now perhaps he will refocus on the world championship again.
PRESTORY: Jessica James has had a very impressive road to the top and a quick one at that. Jessica got the best of Claudia in their feud that began several months ago, ultimately defeating her in a 2/3 falls match to become #1 contender. Last month at Bloodlines, Jessica surprised everyone when she won the women's title from Alissa Flash. Alissa was certainly caught off guard by Jessica's challenge and tonight was her rematch.
Women's Championship Match: Alissa Flash def. Jessica James (9:53) after a russian leg sweep to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Alissa takes back the belt from Jessica in a hard fought battle. Jessica surprised everyone last month when she won the belt and Alissa made sure her reign was a short one. Jessica will surely be looking for another shot though as this feud progresses over the women's championship.
PRESTORY: All year, CM Punk has been after Hulk Hogan and the worlds heavyweight championship. After Punk won the Royal Battle in January, he re-formed Generation sXe with Austin Aries and Shawn Michaels as they secured that Punk won the championship at WrestleMania from Hogan. Along the way, they made several enemies, most notably Bret Hart, who Aries helped Punk defeat at Valentine's Massacre and Triple H, who was betrayed when DX was forced to disband only for Michaels to rejoin Punk and Aries later that night. Hogan, Bret, and Triple H would join together to defeat Generation sXe in a six man tag at Breakout following Punk's win at Mania. That six man victory ensured that Hogan would receive his rematch at Redemption in May. Hogan won back the title there and Punk's rematch took place in a Last Man Standing bout last month at Bloodlines. Hogan was once again victorious but Punk and his group were not going to go down lightly or without a major fight. The challenge was made for War Games to take place at the Great American Bash! Hogan, Hart, and Triple H aligned with Bret's longtime ally, Samoa Joe to complete their team while Punk hired a masked man to team up with Generation sXe.
(MAIN EVENT) War Games Match: CM Punk, Austin Aries, Shawn Michaels, & Masked Man def. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Triple H, & Samoa Joe (24:07) when Michaels forced Bret to submit!
AFTERSTORY: It was truly a war inside the steel cage and admist all the chaos, Generation sXe managed to sneak out the victory! A very brutal battle until the very end which saw Michaels lock Bret in a steel cage assisted figure four leglock which forced the surrender and gained the victory. The fighting continued after the match as Generation sXe took full control and eventually stood tall in the ring. Punk began celebrating to a chorus of boos. Aries was dripping blood since early on in the match after being slammed into the steel. As they continued the beatdown, glass shattered and Stone Cold Steve Austin arrived! Punk quickly bailed from the ring and Shawn was behind him. Austin entered the cage there after and caught a hold of the masked man, delivering the Stone Cold Stunner! Aries was trapped in the ring and began scaling the cage but Austin caught a hold of him and pulled him down to deliver another Stunner! Stone Cold stood tall in the ring making sure nobody forgets that next month he's got the title shot. As Hogan began to recover, he and Austin made brief eye contact, acknowledging one another as the show came to a close.
