PRESTORY: Last month we saw two tag team matches that served as tag team title eliminators in crowning #1 contenders to the women's tag team titles.

Del Rey continued on until she was interrupted by Ayako Hamada! Hamada wasted no time in letting Sara know that if she wants a fight, she will get it at WrestleMania!
PRESTORY: At the Royal Battle, Serena Deeb got a measure of revenge with a victory over Brittney Savage. Savage still wanted to make a name for herself and Daizee Haze wanted revenge herself from being pinned and so the two were signed to meet one on one at Valentine's Massacre!

AFTERSTORY: Daizee picks up the win in a great match from both competitors. Savage showed determination despite the loss. Expect to see these two against each other again in some capacity in the near future.
PRESTORY: Christopher Daniels was unable to make it to the Super J Cup and so instead, he challenged the Junior Champion, Ultimo Dragon, to a non-title match. Dragon and Daniels have a long history as they traded the title back and forth last year. Daniels believed he could once again defeat Ultimo and prove himself worthy of a title shot so the match was set for Valentine's Massacre!
Non Title Match: Ultimo Dragon def. Christopher Daniels (15:01) after a super hurricarana
AFTERSTORY: A great effort from the Fallen Angel but in the end Ultimo reigns supreme. Daniels hit Dragon with everything he had and then some but Ultimo kept on fighting.

Now, Ultimo heads into WrestleMania 7 as the champion where he will defend against the Super J Cup winner to be determined later this night!
PRESTORY: Last month, Serena Deeb pinned Brittney Savage in a one on one bout. Serena's vendetta against the Beautiful People would continue at Valentine's Massacre where she would face Maryse in a singles match!
Serena Deeb def. Maryse (11:55) with a rollup
AFTERSTORY: Serena pulls off another big win! Maryse thought she had Deeb where she wanted her but Serena was able to spin out into a pinfall to capture the victory. After the match, Madison Rayne arrived and had a staredown with Serena. The two went face to face and had a verbal exchange in the center of the ring. Tensions are high as Serena and Rayne will go at it at WrestleMania 7! Serena's gone through Savage and Maryse, but will she be able to top TBP's leader? The WrestleMania match promises to be one to remember!
PRESTORY: At the Royal Battle, Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro came up short in their second shot at the tag team titles against the Midnight Express. However after the match ended, the challengers fell to a shocking beatdown from The Fantastics. The Fantastics let their frustrations get the better of them in the brutal assault. In a post-show interview, they revealed that they felt their actions were justified. FPR Managment responded by signing the two teams in a tag team bout with no holds barred for Valentine's Massacre! These two teams would no doubt be out for nothing but a fight as they battle for tag team superiority!
No Holds Barred Tag Team Match: Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro def. The Fantastics (35:12) when Johnson pinned Rogers with a Tiger Driver
AFTERSTORY: After an absolute war, Johnson & Caesaro come out on top again! The match looked to be over when Fulton bloodied Johnson with a barrage of punches in the corner but somehow they battled back. Johnson pinned Rogers after a long, grueling contest to put the Fantastics away. One can only assume that with this win, Caesaro & Johnson will get one final shot at the tag team champions The Midnight Express!
PRESTORY: After finally overcoming Beth Phoenix & Natalya for the time being, the Canadian Ninjas were set but they're not ones to shy away from a challenge and agreed to put their championships on the line against whoever wanted a shot at the titles. The opportunity was granted to a newer tandem that debuted late last year in Rain & Lexxus!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Rain & Lexxus def. The Canadian Ninjas (28:20) when Rain forced Nicole to submit with an inverted STF to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Shocking upset! Luck was on the side of the challengers as youth overcame experience when new champions were crowned! It was a hard-fought back and forth battle that saw the Ninjas come close to retaining several times but the challengers kept coming. In the end it was Rain battling back and stretching Nicole Matthews in a plethora of submissions before gaining the submission win and the titles. This no doubt throws a wrench in the Ninjas' WrestleMania plans as Claudia & Jamilia Craft are next in line for a title shot while Rain & Lexxus are riding high on their new found momentum and success!
A planned rematch between Mr. Hughes and Kane was not to be as Hughes had assaulted Kane in the backstage area! With Kane left laying, Hughes headed to the ring on his own and called out the Undertaker. Hughes blamed his losses to Kane on Taker's mind games and said he knew Undertaker was back somewhere. Eventually, the lights went out and Taker's voice was heard. Taker warned Hughes to be careful what he wished for as he would see him at WrestleMania for a Casket Match!
PRESTORY: Athena picked up the biggest win of her career last month when she won a triple threat match over Sara Del Rey & Victoria. Athena had previously come up short when she challenged Victoria for the womens' title last September and now they would meet again one on one!
Athena def. Victoria (14:35) after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Athena manages to overcome the veteran this time! Athena has been increasingly more impressive and this is no doubt her biggest win yet, defeating the woman with the most women's championship reigns in history. Victoria has been slipping since losing the title while Athena can only move up from here. Athena's victory here will assure a future title shot without a doubt. Athena will face other top contenders at WrestleMania 7.
PRESTORY: Abdullah the Butcher's ongoing war against Raven's Flock continues here as Abdullah teams up with Mick Foley to battle Raven and Perry Saturn inside the Deathmatch ring!

AFTERSTORY: A major brawl came to a sudden end when Foley locked Raven in the Mandible Claw. The match was over but the fighting continued as the brawl went all the way to the back. Plans are being put in motion for the Hardcore Deathmatch championship at WrestleMania!
PRESTORY: Up first in the Valentine's Massacre Triple Main Event would be the finals of the 2012 Super J Cup! On one side, it was one of the most impressive debuts in recent memory as Prince Devitt tore through his side of the bracket. Negotiations began last October following the massive fanfare he received in Cyber Saturday votes despite not making the ballot. Devitt was signed and debuted in the Super J Cup going all the way to the finals. Devitt's road included amazing victories over both Dean Malenko and Austin Aries. On the other side of the bracket it was AJ Styles making a huge statement en route to the finals. Styles road to the finals included putting a stop to Sin Cara's hot streak and overcoming former J Cup winner Psicosis. Now the two would meet to determine the winner and who would face Ultimo Dragon at WrestleMania 7 for the championship, Prince Devitt vs AJ Styles!
Super J Cup Finals: AJ Styles def. Prince Devitt (9:28) with the Styles Clash
AFTERSTORY: Fast-paced from the get-go, this match showed the physical toll that the Super J Cup tournament had taken on both men. In the end it was the Phenomenal AJ Styles hitting his patented Styles Clash to secure the win and the J Cup trophy! AJ will go on to face Ultimo Dragon for the Junior Championship at WrestleMania 7 in what will certainly be a potential showstealer!
PRESTORY: It was a big-time feel last month when Madison Eagles defeated Gail Kim to capture the women's championship for the first time. Gail's reign was short but memorable and now Eagles look to begin her reign of dominance. Gail would get her rematch at Valentine's Massacre and this time she would be more prepared. The rematch would have even higher stakes as the winner would head into WrestleMania 7 as the FPR Women's Champion! Only one could walk out as winner and champion, it was time for the rematch, Gail Kim vs Madison Eagles 2!
Women's Championship Match: Madison Eagles def. Gail Kim (17:46) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: A surefire match of the year candidate as this match had the whole crowd on the edge of their seats! Near fall after near fall, the match could have easily gone either way. Gail was in control early and seemed to have Madison very well scouted. After a spill to the outside, Eagles managed to gain the advantage but Gail kept on coming and refused to stay down. Finally, Madison caught Gail with a surprise backslide which has garnered her many wins in the past, to retain her championship in her first defense. The match certainly lived up to the hype. Similar to last month, wrestlers were on stage to watch throughout the course of the match. After the match ended, Madison Eagles celebrated with her championship while Gail recovered and returned to her feet. When Gail got back up, she turned around only to be blasted by a kick out of nowhere from the debuting Kana! Kana had rushed past the crowd on the stage and into the ring, immediately targetting Gail Kim. Officials were quick to the scene to restrain Kana and tend to Gail. The surprise attack sent shockwaves through the arena as Kana was escorted away and wrestlers helped Gail from the ring. Amidst the chaos, Madison Eagles stood tall in the ring as champion. Eagles got the mic and declared that she had beaten everyone on her way to becoming champion. Eagles bragged about becoming the best until she was interupted by her old rival, Candice Michelle! Candice had not been seen since Eagles defeated her at last year's WrestleMania and now she made an unexpected return to confront the woman who put her out. Candice made it clear that she returned to take Eagles down and reclaim the championship she once proudly held. The two went face to face before Eagles backed up and declared the only way Candice would get a shot at her title is if she puts her career on the line this time! Eagles thought she ended Candice a year ago but now wants to make sure she finishes the job. Candice agreed to the stipulation and the match is set for WrestleMania 7!
PRESTORY: Terry Funk came out on top at the Royal Battle last month to win the WrestleMania title shot. In the end of the match, it was Funk overcoming Chris Jericho to get the win. Jericho thought he would finally cement his October comeback by winning the match and going on to face his nemesis Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 7. Jericho was not going to take the loss lightly and viciously beat down Funk following. After the show, Jericho challenged Funk to a match that would end up signed for Valentine's Massacre. If Jericho could beat Funk, he'd be added to the 'Mania title match!
Terry Funk def. Chris Jericho (21:09) after the Texas Jab
AFTERSTORY: Jericho could not overcome Terry Funk! Funk gave his all and put Jericho away after a long hard fought battle. Funk will be heading to WrestleMania to face Stone Cold while Jericho will have to find his own way to Mania. WrestleMania 7: Funk vs Austin!

PRESTORY: The feud between the Canadian Ninjas and the Divas of Doom has been a wild one. They've gone through tag matches, bunkhouse rules matches and most recently a 2/3 falls match. Whether or not another match would be signed was a subject of debate considering the Ninjas won 2 straight falls but it was ultimately decided that these two teams were not quite done with one another. And so the decision was made to put the two teams inside of a 15 foot high steel cage! If Beth and Natalya win, one last match will be required before WrestleMania 7 but if the Ninjas win, they could finally consider themselves done with their bitter rivals.

Their win gained them a rematch with the champs to take place at the Royal Battle. Will they be able to strike gold this time?
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express def. Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro (25:07) when Eaton used a single leg crab on Johnson to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Another case of "somehow, someway" as the Midnights managed to leave with the belts again. Despite a seeming 3 count from a Johnson german suplex, Bobby Eaton covered in blood, and near fall after near fall, Eaton used a desperation submission to win the match in the end. After the bout it was the challengers standing tall in the ring as the crowd cheered them on while the champions retreated with Lane helping his bloody partner crawl up the ramp. As Caesaro & Johnson remained in ring motioning for the titles, they were suddenly attacked from behind by The Fantastics! The Fantastics beat down Johnson & Caesaro in the ring and left them laying. Cameras caught up with The Fantastics backstage afterwards as they explained their belief that Johnson & Caesaro took advantage of Tommy Rogers' injured ribs in their match at the Royal Battle and they were only extracting their revenge. As a result, these two teams will meet again at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: Part 1 of the double main event! Madison Eagles went straight to the top in the Queen's Cup tournament back in September, guaranteeing her a future shot at the Women's Championship. Since then, Eagles has continued to come out on top against opponent after opponent, solidifying her status as top contender. Taking place at the same time was the rise of Gail Kim. Gail was the last entry into Cyber Saturday's FYF Women's Battle Royal and ended up winning the whole thing for her second time. Gail would wait two months to get her title shot but when she did, she made sure it counted. Gail challenged Victoria in an epic lumberjill match that main evented FPR Eve of Destruction. Gail won a wild rollercoaster of a match and captured the championship. The following week, Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that she got her title rematch by beating the clock. They met again at Final Showdown and Gail was once again victorious. Gail proved her worth as champion and now she faces an enormous challenge in the seemingly unstoppable Madison Eagles. This match is highly anticipated and headlines the night alongside the Royal Battle!
Women's Championship Match: Madison Eagles def. Gail Kim (10:49) via Hellbound CRITICAL to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Destiny fulfilled for Madison Eagles as she becomes womens' champion for the first time! The match was nonstop action from the opening bell. As the match progressed, the women's locker room began to empty out onto the stage to watch the match up close as everyone wanted to keep an eye on this one. Eagles was able to drop Gail with her patented Hellbound finisher to gain the women's championship. Madison's victory certainly shakes up the division with many vying for a shot. Gail will be first in line for a rematch at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: One match will see eight men do battle. The winner will go on to headline WrestleMania 7 to challenge for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. The eight participants will include: Former 3 Time FPR World Champion, Terry Funk. Funk battled back from an injury and has been on fire ever since, this could be his chance to skyrocket back to the top. Former FPR Champion, The Great Muta. Muta returned from a 2 month absence recently and looked rejuvenated with a fire in his eyes. Muta has shown in the past that he will do whatever it takes to capture the championship again. Former 3 Time FPR Champion, John Cena. Cena had a great reign before it came to an abrupt end last month and he looks to earn his way back to the top. Cena has the experience on his side as he is a two time winner of the Royal Battle including winning the last one in 2011. Chris Jericho, who returned to FPR only a few months ago. Jericho surprised many with his clean victory over Hulk Hogan at Final Showdown. Austin winning the title has fueled Jericho's motivation more than ever. FPR newcomer, Wade Barrett has signed a contract and will make his debut in the Royal Battle, what better way to make an impact upon debut than winning this one. Two more former champions in Triple H and The Rock who have both been battling to return to the top of FPR. Lastly, the final entry will be the Immortal Hulk Hogan! Hogan is an 8 time former champion and has history with Stone Cold, he came close to winning last year. Could 2012 be the year of the Hulkster the way that 2009 was? The seventh annual Royal Battle promises to be an exciting one with so many possibilities, the outcome is unpredictable. One man will go on to WrestleMania 7!

AFTERSTORY: Terry Funk is going to WrestleMania! Funk outlasting everyone in a thrilling battle for supremity. After the final four became an all-out brawl, it all boiled down to Funk and Jericho with Funk coming out on top. Jericho did not take kindly to having his shot taken away and immediately assaulted Funk after the match. Jericho wanted nothing more than to get revenge on Stone Cold for their long history but his chance was denied. Jericho beat down Funk in the ring as Randy Orton and Bob Orton Jr. came to the ring to join Jericho. Their beatdown continued until Stone Cold Steve Austin arrived with a steel chair in hand causing them to bail from the ring. Jericho, Randy, and Bob retreated up the ramp and we're certain the last chapter has not been spoken here.
©FPR Royal Battle 2012. FPR's next PPV event will be Valentine's Massacre scheduled to take place on February 18 which will feature the finals of the 2012 Super J Cup, Eagles-Gail II, and the fallout from the Royal Battle as well as much more on the Road To WrestleMania 7!

PRESTORY: The feud between the Canadian Ninjas and the Divas of Doom has been a wild one. They've gone through tag matches, bunkhouse rules matches and most recently a 2/3 falls match. Whether or not another match would be signed was a subject of debate considering the Ninjas won 2 straight falls but it was ultimately decided that these two teams were not quite done with one another. And so the decision was made to put the two teams inside of a 15 foot high steel cage! If Beth and Natalya win, one last match will be required before WrestleMania 7 but if the Ninjas win, they could finally consider themselves done with their bitter rivals.

Their win gained them a rematch with the champs to take place at the Royal Battle. Will they be able to strike gold this time?
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express def. Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro (25:07) when Eaton used a single leg crab on Johnson to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Another case of "somehow, someway" as the Midnights managed to leave with the belts again. Despite a seeming 3 count from a Johnson german suplex, Bobby Eaton covered in blood, and near fall after near fall, Eaton used a desperation submission to win the match in the end. After the bout it was the challengers standing tall in the ring as the crowd cheered them on while the champions retreated with Lane helping his bloody partner crawl up the ramp. As Caesaro & Johnson remained in ring motioning for the titles, they were suddenly attacked from behind by The Fantastics! The Fantastics beat down Johnson & Caesaro in the ring and left them laying. Cameras caught up with The Fantastics backstage afterwards as they explained their belief that Johnson & Caesaro took advantage of Tommy Rogers' injured ribs in their match at the Royal Battle and they were only extracting their revenge. As a result, these two teams will meet again at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: Part 1 of the double main event! Madison Eagles went straight to the top in the Queen's Cup tournament back in September, guaranteeing her a future shot at the Women's Championship. Since then, Eagles has continued to come out on top against opponent after opponent, solidifying her status as top contender. Taking place at the same time was the rise of Gail Kim. Gail was the last entry into Cyber Saturday's FYF Women's Battle Royal and ended up winning the whole thing for her second time. Gail would wait two months to get her title shot but when she did, she made sure it counted. Gail challenged Victoria in an epic lumberjill match that main evented FPR Eve of Destruction. Gail won a wild rollercoaster of a match and captured the championship. The following week, Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that she got her title rematch by beating the clock. They met again at Final Showdown and Gail was once again victorious. Gail proved her worth as champion and now she faces an enormous challenge in the seemingly unstoppable Madison Eagles. This match is highly anticipated and headlines the night alongside the Royal Battle!

AFTERSTORY: Destiny fulfilled for Madison Eagles as she becomes womens' champion for the first time! The match was nonstop action from the opening bell. As the match progressed, the women's locker room began to empty out onto the stage to watch the match up close as everyone wanted to keep an eye on this one. Eagles was able to drop Gail with her patented Hellbound finisher to gain the women's championship. Madison's victory certainly shakes up the division with many vying for a shot. Gail will be first in line for a rematch at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: One match will see eight men do battle. The winner will go on to headline WrestleMania 7 to challenge for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. The eight participants will include: Former 3 Time FPR World Champion, Terry Funk. Funk battled back from an injury and has been on fire ever since, this could be his chance to skyrocket back to the top. Former FPR Champion, The Great Muta. Muta returned from a 2 month absence recently and looked rejuvenated with a fire in his eyes. Muta has shown in the past that he will do whatever it takes to capture the championship again. Former 3 Time FPR Champion, John Cena. Cena had a great reign before it came to an abrupt end last month and he looks to earn his way back to the top. Cena has the experience on his side as he is a two time winner of the Royal Battle including winning the last one in 2011. Chris Jericho, who returned to FPR only a few months ago. Jericho surprised many with his clean victory over Hulk Hogan at Final Showdown. Austin winning the title has fueled Jericho's motivation more than ever. FPR newcomer, Wade Barrett has signed a contract and will make his debut in the Royal Battle, what better way to make an impact upon debut than winning this one. Two more former champions in Triple H and The Rock who have both been battling to return to the top of FPR. Lastly, the final entry will be the Immortal Hulk Hogan! Hogan is an 8 time former champion and has history with Stone Cold, he came close to winning last year. Could 2012 be the year of the Hulkster the way that 2009 was? The seventh annual Royal Battle promises to be an exciting one with so many possibilities, the outcome is unpredictable. One man will go on to WrestleMania 7!

After the final four became an all-out brawl, it all boiled down to Funk and Jericho with Funk coming out on top. Jericho did not take kindly to having his shot taken away and immediately assaulted Funk after the match. Jericho wanted nothing more than to get revenge on Stone Cold for their long history but his chance was denied. Jericho beat down Funk in the ring as Randy Orton and Bob Orton Jr. came to the ring to join Jericho. Their beatdown continued until Stone Cold Steve Austin arrived with a steel chair in hand causing them to bail from the ring. Jericho, Randy, and Bob retreated up the ramp and we're certain the last chapter has not been spoken here.

A much better outing for Yumi than her debut and a performance that will propel both higher in the ranks.
PRESTORY: During the women's tag beat the clock, two teams that met in the ring were the Knight Dynasty vs Nikki Roxx and the returning ODB.

PRESTORY: As mentioned at Eve of Destruction, Madison Eagles has refused to take time off to await her title shot.

Eaton and Lane talked up their plan until they were interrupted by The Fantastics. Tommy Rogers had his ribs taped from the match they lost to Condrey & Dr. Death after receiving multiple Doctor Bombs on the outside of the ring.

PRESTORY: Last week at Eve of Destruction, Gail Kim and Victoria tore the house down in their headline attraction that saw Gail Kim become the new women's champion. It was up to beat the clock to determine her first challenger. First it looked like it would be Ayako Hamada with a quick win but Serena Deeb managed to edge her out by a few seconds and the match was set to be Gail vs Serena but in the last challenge, it was Victoria once again destroying Jessica James in 8 minutes to beat the clock and get her rematch with Gail.

FPR Eve of Destruction
December 23, 2011
Theme Song: Anthrax - "Fight 'Em Till You Can't"
Part 1 of a 2 week double-shot!
PRESTORY: Originally scheduled to be a four way contenders bout involving Julian Caesaro and Jiggle-O James Johnson following Survival of the Sickest, however the match was changed when Caesaro & Johnson made it to the finals of the Guerrero Cup tag team tournament. Now the other 2 competitors, Jushin Liger and Austin Aries, would face one on one. It would be a bout between two of FPR's greatest former junior champions as well as a former WrestleMania match. Many were not too pleased when Austin Aries tagged himself in to score the winning pinfall at Survival of the Sickest including his own tag partners that night who felt Aries tried to take all the credit. Aries claimed he was just getting the win for their team but either way, Aries and Liger would now meet one on one!

AFTERSTORY: A back and forth battle saw Liger narrowly get the victory. Aries took control after an outside brawl but Liger caught him with his Liger Bomb to win the bout. Liger will move closer to a future shot at the Junior Championship but both men will have the opportunity as Beat the Clock determines the title challengers for next week's Final Showdown!
PRESTORY: The seventh annual Guerrero Cup tag team tournament was another classic. Among several upsets throughout the tournament, it ended up coming down to two teams. On one side of the bracket, Julian Caesaro and Jiggle-O James Johnson overcame several challenges including a first round upset of the Freebirds who had been dominant as of late. Their opponents would be one of FPR's most decorated tag teams in The Briscoes. The Briscoes are former 8 time tag team champions and also won the inaugural Summer Spectacular tournament in 09 but they have never captured the Guerrero Cup tournament. Now it would be the tag team finals destined to be a classic with four high flyers and the winners going on to face the reigning champions, The Midnight Express, later in the night.

The GC continues to elude the Briscoes while Caesaro & Johnson make their first truly big wave in the tag team division. They would have to begin to rest up immediately as there title shot comes later in the night!
PRESTORY: Despite Dean Malenko's efforts to take out both Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara, his efforts were thwarted at Survival of the Sickest. However, Dean is not giving up just yet as he has challenged Mysterio to a singles match and that match takes place at Eve of Destruction!

PRESTORY: Dan Severn was as impressive as he's ever been en route to victory at Survival of the Sickest. With an assist from his partners that night, Severn was able to eliminate Bob Sapp. Because of that, Severn will get the chance to eliminate Sapp again, this time from the Octagon as he challenges for Sapp's championship.

PRESTORY: Back at Halloween Havoc it was Nevaeh vs MsChif that stole the show in an absolute classic match. Nevaeh came out victorious and following that match, MsChif introduced the returning Winter to FPR. Winter and MsChif teamed up with Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay to defeat the Nevaeh-led team of herself, Jessie McKay, Jamilia Craft, and Claudia.

This has been quite the rivalry and all four women will be looking for a title shot at either the women's championship or the tag titles by beating the clock.
PRESTORY: Another big story coming out of Survival of the Sickest was the dominant performance from Mr. Hughes. Hughes debuted back at the Great American Bash and took out the Undertaker under the orders of Drew McIntyre. When Taker was able to dispose of Drew at Cyber Saturday, he looked to march through the rest of Drew's hired guns starting with Kabuki at Halloween Havoc but Hughes proved to be a bump in the road at Survival of the Sickest. Now, Taker will face Hughes once again in a singles bout in hopes of revenge but Hughes will be no easy target.

AFTERSTORY: This match was an absolute war!

Has Hughes taken down the Undertaker? Has the Undertaker met a man that he cannot overcome?
PRESTORY: Amidst a chaotic match at Survival of the Sickest, Scot Summers managed an elimination of the Big Show.

Funk will move ahead of Orton in the ranks but both men will vie for the Final Showdown title shot against champion John Cena. Funk's opponent in Beat the Clock will be the returning Great Muta who had taken some much needed time off to regroup.
PRESTORY: Julian Caesaro & Jiggle-O James Johnson caught the world by surprise when they became the winners of the Guerrero Cup tag team tournament by defeating former 8 time tag champs, The Briscoes. Now they would go on to get their shot here against the dominant Midnight Express!

The Midnights manage to escape with the gold on this night and now every team will be gunning for them as they attempt to beat the clock for the shot at Final Showdown.
PRESTORY: With her impending Queen's Cup title shot only a month away, Madison Eagles has never been one to take a night off. As she awaits to challenge for the title, Eagles will step into the ring with a massive challenge in the form of Amazing Kong!

Madison proved without a doubt that she is ready to become champion. She will get a shot in January but will also be able to earn the Final Showdown shot if she can beat the clock!
PRESTORY: The Canadian Ninjas vs Beth Phoenix & Natalya is a rivalry that continued to heat up. The Ninjas won back the women's tag team titles in a brutal Bunkhouse Rules match at Halloween Havoc and reigned supreme at Survival of the Sickest.

Surviving blood loss, weapons, and explosions for over twenty minutes, something had to give. In the end it was Abdullah dropping ontop of Raven with two hammers underneath for the victory. After the match ended, Raven's Flock stormed the ring and beat down Abdullah. Necro and W*NG brought Abdullah to his feet as Saturn then hoisted him up and drove him through one of the lighttube boards! The Flock helped Raven from the ring as Abdullah will only have a week to recover now and prepare for his next challenger whomever beats the clock. Word has it that all members of the Flock have entered the challenge.
PRESTORY: Ultimo Dragon has been a on major roll since winning the cruiserweight invitational at Cyber Saturday. Ultimo would go on to defeat Hayabusa in what many called an upset to dethrone the long-reigning champion.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Gail Kim won the traditional Fulfill your Fantasy battle royal over seven other women to become the new #1 contender to the women's championship. Despite being the last entrant into the match, Gail outlasted everyone in the match to become the winner. With Victoria regaining the title at Halloween Havoc from Kong, she will be defending her championship against Gail with the winner defending against Madison Eagles in January - if they survive Final Showdown that is. After the match was made official, FPR Management added a major stipulation - that the match would be contested as a Lumberjill match!

FPR Survival of the Sickest
November 26, 2011
Theme Song: Disturbed - "The Animal"
PRESTORY: At Halloween Havoc, Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara met one on one in a battle of mutual respect. Mysterio came out victorious but after the match, both men were assaulted by Dean Malenko. Malenko felt slighted as he had missed Cyber Saturday by just one vote and decided to take out his frustrations on the two men that received the most amount of votes in Mysterio and Sin Cara. Rey and Cara recovered long enough to send Malenko from the ring and he retreated on his own but now he'll have the chance to back up his actions. Malenko will lead a team against a team of Rey and Cara's. Rey and Sin Cara filled their team with fellow high-flyers that competed at Cyber Saturday with them, in Evan Bourne and Billy Kidman. Kidman was one of two that made entry on the final votes. Malenko filled his team out with fellow cruiserweight grappler Chavo Guerrero along with former Junior champions, AJ Styles & Frankie Kazarian. This match would open Survival of the Sickest and promise to be one of the night's most action-packed and fast-paced contests!

Saraya was vicious in coming close to eliminating Ayumi but was unable to pull it off as Ayumi won the match for her team.
PRESTORY: The Road Warriors and Freebirds rivalry has raged on and become one of the hottest feuds of the year. The Freebirds have been riding high with their last two victories at Cyber Saturday and Halloween Havoc, not to mention Hayes' thrilling victory over Hawk in the lumberjack match at the Ulitmate Encounter. Now it's time for the two teams to lead their respective army into battle for Survival of the Sickest! Hawk, Animal, and the Power Warrior have recruited Japan's Genichiro Tenryu to join them in the bout while the Freebirds have found their forth in Terry Gordy!

Summers will have an international title shot coming and Bryan will have to be considered for another shot as well.
PRESTORY: Ultimo Dragon shocked many when he was able to come out victorious by defeating Hayabusa for the Junior championship at Halloween Havoc. Hayabusa had previously seemed unstoppable but Ultimo used his Cyber Saturday momentum and carried it over into a win. It certainly threw a wrench into upcoming plans for the junior championship picture and now at Survival of the Sickest, eight juniors will compete and not everyone's going to get along but there will be a varied mix of partners and enemies. On one side we will see former number one contender Julian Caesaro and Jiggle-O James Johnson team up with the now ex-champion, Hayabusa, who does not get along with either of them but they've teamed in the past and will have to do it again. Finishing out their team will be Brian Kendrick who will be somewhat of a wildcard. They will go against the team of champion Ultimo Dragon, former champ that wants another crack at Hayabusa, Jushin Liger, and two men that neither Ultimo or Liger get along with in Robert Evans and Austin Aries. This match will surely prove to be an explosive collision course as anything can happen at Survival of the Sickest!
Elimination 8 Man Tag Team Match: Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Liger, Robert Evans, & Austin Aries def. Julian Caesaro, Jiggle-O James Johnson, Hayabusa, & Brian Kendrick (58:36) 4 falls to 0

Survivors: Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Liger, Robert Evans, Austin Aries
AFTERSTORY: It all came down to the final ten minutes! In one of the most thrilling contests in FPR, these two teams of four went an exhilirating 58 minutes! Ultimo and Jiggle-O James Johnson went at it tooth and nail with neither man giving up until Ultimo was finally able to catch him in a rollup. From there it seemed Ultimo knew he was battling against the clock and was quick to lock both Caesaro and Hayabusa into the Dragon Sleeper. Brian Kendrick did his best to hang on but in the end, Austin Aries tagged himself in to take the final fall for himself! Definitely a chaotic scene in the junior championship picture. Hayabusa gets his rematch with Ultimo at Eve of Destruction while there will also be a future contenders match on the show.
PRESTORY: The Midnight Express have been very successful since winning back the tag team titles in June. They defended their belts against both the Rock n Roll Express at Cyber Saturday and the Fantastics at Halloween Havoc. Now the Rock 'n' Rolls and Fantastics join together to form a team of four for Survival of the Sickest to battle the Midnights once again. Eaton and Lane will be joining up with Dennis Condrey and in somewhat of a surprise pick, Dr. Death Steve Williams will join the Midnight Express!

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Beth Phoenix and Natalya won a war over the Canadian Ninjas to capture the women's tag titles but a week later at Halloween Havoc, the Ninjas regained the titles in a Bunkhouse Rules match to become the first ever 2 time holders of the belts. Beth and Natalya couldn't believe they had lost and their feud is far from over. Beth and Natalya have formed a team of four by recruiting Mia Svensson and former women's champ Alissa Flash. While Portia & Nicole will join up with their associates from last year in Annie Social and Melanie Cruise. Cruise will be able to match the power of their opponents as this match promises to be another war like the last two battles for the tag team titles!

Raven introduced his team as former champ Necro Butcher, relative newcomer W*NG Kanemura, and the debuting ally of Raven's, Perry Saturn, who Raven promised would be his secret weapon.

PRESTORY: Nevaeh and MsChif put on a showstealing classic at Halloween Havoc and their grudge is one that will carry over to Survival of the Sickest. Several stories will intertwine as the mysterious Winter appeared following the Nevaeh/MsChif match, which has led to some sort of alliance between Winter and MsChif. Meanwhile, Nevaeh chose her friend and tag partner, Jessie McKay, to join her team. The other intriguing story that began at Halloween Havoc included longtime rivals Claudia and Jamilia Craft becoming tag team partners for the night to battle against Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay. Now they will meet again as Claudia and Craft join Nevaeh and McKay while Havok & Kay team up with the mysterious duo of Winter and MsChif. The match will no doubt be another potential showstealer with a lot of intriguing going in and coming out of this one as it will also impact the women's division in a major way!

The Midwest Militia have their eyes set on regaining the women's tag titles.
PRESTORY: Stone Cold Steve Austin has been waiting for his revenge on Bob Orton Jr and Chris Jericho as well as Randy Orton. Austin's been at odds with all three of them. Orton knew this when deciding his team so he chose a fourth man to fill out his team in a man that recently fought Austin in the ring - CM Punk. Austin joins up with the tandem of legends that defeated Orton Jr. and Jericho at Cyber Saturday, Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper.

PRESTORY: The women's championship picture is chaotic and crowded. With Victoria regaining the gold at Halloween Havoc from Amazing Kong and so many challengers lined up for shots, the match up here pitting a Victoria led team against a Kong led team has ended up as quite the wildcard with a mixed group of talents on both sides, regardless of their fan-favorite or rulebreaking affiliations. Victoria joins up with two still relatively new bad girls in Rain and Lexxus, who both teamed up at the Ultimate Encounter as well. Kong's team has been joined by FPR's Queen, Madison Eagles who chose to team with Kong to get her hands on Victoria again. Angelina Love also joined the team for the same reason as she and Victoria have a storied history.

Victoria will have to gear up for her big title defense against Gail Kim next month as the women's scene continues to heat up.
PRESTORY: Undertaker's had a long rivalry this year with Drew McIntyre which branched into bringing others into the mix such as the Great Kabuki and Mr. Hughes.

Drew would team up again with his associates in Kabuki and Hughes and with Great Muta taking the night off, Sting joined his partner Kabuki in the fight.

Since Cyber Saturday, Gail Kim has been at odds with the Beautiful People including a loss to Madison Rayne at Halloween Havoc. Daizee Haze & Serena Deeb defeated Maryse & Brittney Savage at Halloween Havoc, and Haze & Deeb's history with Sara Del Rey is well-known. Del Rey also recently took down Kelly Kelly at Halloween Havoc and so the match here was formed to be Daizee Haze, Serena Deeb, Gail Kim, & Kelly Kelly taking on the somewhat unlikely pairing of Sara Del Rey and The Beautiful People!

PRESTORY: John Cena has been on top of his game since capturing the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship at Cyber Saturday. Cena ripped apart Randy Orton in a steel cage at Halloween Havoc and after the match had ended, the Four Horsemen made their intentions known that they were targetting the champ. The Horsemen had been on a roll ever since losing War Games in July. First, Pilman upset Kurt Angle at Final Burns then Flair took down Hogan at the Ultimate Encounter and at Cyber Saturday, Flair got the best of Angle. Cena was faced with an opposition of four and had to form a team for Survival of the Sickest to battle them. Cena chose first, Kurt Angle, knowing his history with the Horsemen. Cena then finished his team with a man he's teamed with in the past, The Rock, and a former rival of his - Triple H. Cena may have made some risky choices but he had to build the best team to combat the Horsemen. The Survival of the Sickest main event would be a battle for the ages!

After the bout was over, the heroes celebrated in the ring. Triple H and Rock despite their history of battles shook hands and exited the ring. Kurt Angle took the mic and commented that they had a pretty easy night. Angle pointed out how Cena eliminated three of the Horsemen and told him that he didn't quite get enough competition. Kurt then informed Cena that he was cashing in his money in the bank - right now! Cena was shocked by Kurt's choice having just been through a battle but responded that he understood and would gladly accept the challenge..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena def. Kurt Angle (8:58) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Cena prevails again! Not even Kurt's surprise challenge could stop John Cena on this night. After being on the receiving end of an Attitude Adjustment, Angle left the ring and applauded Cena for managing to defeat him. Angle exited and Cena celebrated in the ring to end the show - STILL the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!

All competitors were impressive, including Scot Summers who eliminated the International champ, Big Show. Lance Storm returned to FPR with a big elimination, Billy Jack Haynes had a strong debut, and Daniel Bryan won the match for his team! Summers will have an international title shot coming and Bryan will have to be considered for another shot as well.
PRESTORY: Ultimo Dragon shocked many when he was able to come out victorious by defeating Hayabusa for the Junior championship at Halloween Havoc. Hayabusa had previously seemed unstoppable but Ultimo used his Cyber Saturday momentum and carried it over into a win. It certainly threw a wrench into upcoming plans for the junior championship picture and now at Survival of the Sickest, eight juniors will compete and not everyone's going to get along but there will be a varied mix of partners and enemies. On one side we will see former number one contender Julian Caesaro and Jiggle-O James Johnson team up with the now ex-champion, Hayabusa, who does not get along with either of them but they've teamed in the past and will have to do it again. Finishing out their team will be Brian Kendrick who will be somewhat of a wildcard. They will go against the team of champion Ultimo Dragon, former champ that wants another crack at Hayabusa, Jushin Liger, and two men that neither Ultimo or Liger get along with in Robert Evans and Austin Aries. This match will surely prove to be an explosive collision course as anything can happen at Survival of the Sickest!

AFTERSTORY: It all came down to the final ten minutes! In one of the most thrilling contests in FPR, these two teams of four went an exhilirating 58 minutes! Ultimo and Jiggle-O James Johnson went at it tooth and nail with neither man giving up until Ultimo was finally able to catch him in a rollup. From there it seemed Ultimo knew he was battling against the clock and was quick to lock both Caesaro and Hayabusa into the Dragon Sleeper. Brian Kendrick did his best to hang on but in the end, Austin Aries tagged himself in to take the final fall for himself! Definitely a chaotic scene in the junior championship picture. Hayabusa gets his rematch with Ultimo at Eve of Destruction while there will also be a future contenders match on the show.
PRESTORY: The Midnight Express have been very successful since winning back the tag team titles in June. They defended their belts against both the Rock n Roll Express at Cyber Saturday and the Fantastics at Halloween Havoc. Now the Rock 'n' Rolls and Fantastics join together to form a team of four for Survival of the Sickest to battle the Midnights once again.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Beth Phoenix and Natalya won a war over the Canadian Ninjas to capture the women's tag titles but a week later at Halloween Havoc, the Ninjas regained the titles in a Bunkhouse Rules match to become the first ever 2 time holders of the belts. Beth and Natalya couldn't believe they had lost and their feud is far from over. Beth and Natalya have formed a team of four by recruiting Mia Svensson and former women's champ Alissa Flash. While Portia & Nicole will join up with their associates from last year in Annie Social and Melanie Cruise. Cruise will be able to match the power of their opponents as this match promises to be another war like the last two battles for the tag team titles!

Here, Raven would form a new version of his Flock to battle a team formed by Abdullah. Raven introduced his team as former champ Necro Butcher, relative newcomer W*NG Kanemura, and the debuting ally of Raven's, Perry Saturn, who Raven promised would be his secret weapon. Meanwhile, Abdullah joined up with two of Raven's biggest former rivals in Abyss and Tommy Dreamer as well as former champ Mick Foley, who despite feuding with Abdullah recently, has formed a mutual respect with the Butcher.

In the end, Perry Saturn came through for Raven in what was a huge debut for him. Now Raven meets Abdullah in the deathmatch ring at Eve of Destruction!
PRESTORY: Nevaeh and MsChif put on a showstealing classic at Halloween Havoc and their grudge is one that will carry over to Survival of the Sickest. Several stories will intertwine as the mysterious Winter appeared following the Nevaeh/MsChif match, which has led to some sort of alliance between Winter and MsChif. Meanwhile, Nevaeh chose her friend and tag partner, Jessie McKay, to join her team. The other intriguing story that began at Halloween Havoc included longtime rivals Claudia and Jamilia Craft becoming tag team partners for the night to battle against Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay. Now they will meet again as Claudia and Craft join Nevaeh and McKay while Havok & Kay team up with the mysterious duo of Winter and MsChif. The match will no doubt be another potential showstealer with a lot of intriguing going in and coming out of this one as it will also impact the women's division in a major way!

Craft and Claudia, despite being the most unlikely of pairings, showed some teamwork in the match but in the end it was the tag team of Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay surviving the war. The Midwest Militia have their eyes set on regaining the women's tag titles.
PRESTORY: Stone Cold Steve Austin has been waiting for his revenge on Bob Orton Jr and Chris Jericho as well as Randy Orton. Austin's been at odds with all three of them. Orton knew this when deciding his team so he chose a fourth man to fill out his team in a man that recently fought Austin in the ring - CM Punk. Austin joins up with the tandem of legends that defeated Orton Jr. and Jericho at Cyber Saturday, Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper. And filling out their team, will be Terry Funk who returns from injury to battle the man that put him on the shelf, Randy Orton!

PRESTORY: The women's championship picture is chaotic and crowded. With Victoria regaining the gold at Halloween Havoc from Amazing Kong and so many challengers lined up for shots, the match up here pitting a Victoria led team against a Kong led team has ended up as quite the wildcard with a mixed group of talents on both sides, regardless of their fan-favorite or rulebreaking affiliations. Victoria joins up with two still relatively new bad girls in Rain and Lexxus, who both teamed up at the Ultimate Encounter as well. Kong's team has been joined by FPR's Queen, Madison Eagles who chose to team with Kong to get her hands on Victoria again. Angelina Love also joined the team for the same reason as she and Victoria have a storied history. Filling out both teams are Athena on Kong's team, who is yet another that wanted in the ring with Victoria again while a rival of Athena, Jessica James joins Victoria's team to balance out the unbalanced teams.

Victoria will have to gear up for her big title defense against Gail Kim next month as the women's scene continues to heat up.
PRESTORY: Undertaker's had a long rivalry this year with Drew McIntyre which branched into bringing others into the mix such as the Great Kabuki and Mr. Hughes. Taker disposed of Drew at Cyber Saturday and now Drew would return to lead a team into battle against Taker. Drew would team up again with his associates in Kabuki and Hughes and with Great Muta taking the night off, Sting joined his partner Kabuki in the fight. They would go up against a team captained by the Undertaker who would be joined by a unique group of Kane, the imposter Sting, and the Big Bossman.

PRESTORY: Lots of rivalries combined for one match in the Survival of the Sickest semi-main event. Since Cyber Saturday, Gail Kim has been at odds with the Beautiful People including a loss to Madison Rayne at Halloween Havoc. Daizee Haze & Serena Deeb defeated Maryse & Brittney Savage at Halloween Havoc, and Haze & Deeb's history with Sara Del Rey is well-known. Del Rey also recently took down Kelly Kelly at Halloween Havoc and so the match here was formed to be Daizee Haze, Serena Deeb, Gail Kim, & Kelly Kelly taking on the somewhat unlikely pairing of Sara Del Rey and The Beautiful People!

Gail Kim will receive her title shot at Eve of Destruction that she earned back at Cyber Saturday, and all eyes will be on the outcome.
PRESTORY: John Cena has been on top of his game since capturing the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship at Cyber Saturday. Cena ripped apart Randy Orton in a steel cage at Halloween Havoc and after the match had ended, the Four Horsemen made their intentions known that they were targetting the champ. The Horsemen had been on a roll ever since losing War Games in July. First, Pilman upset Kurt Angle at Final Burns then Flair took down Hogan at the Ultimate Encounter and at Cyber Saturday, Flair got the best of Angle. Cena was faced with an opposition of four and had to form a team for Survival of the Sickest to battle them. Cena chose first, Kurt Angle, knowing his history with the Horsemen. Cena then finished his team with a man he's teamed with in the past, The Rock, and a former rival of his - Triple H. Cena may have made some risky choices but he had to build the best team to combat the Horsemen. The Survival of the Sickest main event would be a battle for the ages!

From there, Cena took out the rest of the Horsemen from Tully to Flair and ending with Pillman. Cena had successfully thwarted the threat of the Four Horsemen at Survival of the Sickest! After the bout was over, the heroes celebrated in the ring. Triple H and Rock despite their history of battles shook hands and exited the ring. Kurt Angle took the mic and commented that they had a pretty easy night. Angle pointed out how Cena eliminated three of the Horsemen and told him that he didn't quite get enough competition. Kurt then informed Cena that he was cashing in his money in the bank - right now! Cena was shocked by Kurt's choice having just been through a battle but responded that he understood and would gladly accept the challenge..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena def. Kurt Angle (8:58) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Cena prevails again! Not even Kurt's surprise challenge could stop John Cena on this night. After being on the receiving end of an Attitude Adjustment, Angle left the ring and applauded Cena for managing to defeat him. Angle exited and Cena celebrated in the ring to end the show - STILL the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!

FPR Halloween Havoc 2011 Results! (10/29)
FPR Halloween Havoc 2011: FPR's Most Terrifying Night
"The Massacre in Maine"
October 29, 2011
Theme Song: The Pretty Reckless - "Zombie"
PRESTORY: The annual Chamber of Horrors would return for Halloween Havoc to crown a new #1 contender to Abdullah the Butcher's Hardcore Deathmatch championship. The bout would be filled with former champions, past contenders, and a few relative newcomers.
Chamber of Horrors Match: Raven def. W*NG Kanemura, Mick Foley, Mr. Hughes, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, & Abyss (7:25) via Evenflow CRITICAL on Dreamer
AFTERSTORY: Former ruler of the hardcore division, Raven made a big statement here as he ended things rather quickly with a deadly DDT on longtime rival Tommy Dreamer. Raven will challenge Abdullah in December but prior to that will be Survival of the Sickest where early word is that Raven will lead a revived version of his flock against Abdullah.
PRESTORY: With Madison Rayne in singles competition later tonight, Maryse teamed up with The Beautiful People's most recent associate, Brittney Savage, in a big tag team bout against Daizee & Serena. With Daizee & Deeb's rival Sara Del Rey in other action tonight as well, they were looking for some competition and found it for sure in tag team action.
Daizee Haze & Serena Deeb def. Maryse & Brittney Savage (22:20) when Daizee pinned Maryse after a hurricarana
AFTERSTORY: Daizee & Serena prove once again the tag team that they are by putting down the Beautiful People duo. It was quite a fight and they will definitely see each other in the ring again soon.
PRESTORY: The Big Show downed Andre the Giant at Cyber Saturday and without a #1 contender, FPR Management decided to inject a little Halloween Havoc in by pitting the Boogeyman against the Big Show for the International title!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. The Boogeyman (12:25) via submission to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY: Last weekend, the Freebirds pulled one over on the Road Warriors once again in the Chicago Street Fight at Cyber Saturday. After the match, Power Warrior vowed to get revenge and with the Road Warriors not in the building tonight, that's exactly what he planned to do. Power Warrior challenged the Freebirds both to take him on 2 on 1! The Freebirds gladly accept what may not have been a wise move by the Power Warrior.
Handicap Match: The Fabulous Freebirds def. Power Warrior (11:32) via submission when Hayes used a single leg crab
AFTERSTORY: As would be expected, Power Warrior could not overcome the 2 on 1 odds against the Freebirds. Though he did put up a good fight, he was unable to beat two guys at once. The Freebirds leave once again with their heads held high and the Road Warriors will have one more shot at redemption when they meet in a 4 on 4 battle at Survival of the Sickest!
PRESTORY: At the Ultimate Encounter, we witnessed the emergence of an impostor Sting wrestling alongside Kane and The Undertaker. When Sting got word of this and witnessed what took place, he decided Halloween Havoc would be the ideal event to confront his imposter and challenge him to a one on one bout!
"Sting" def. Sting (19:07) via submission with the Scorpion Deathlock
AFTERSTORY: In a wild case of identity fraud, the imposter beats the original! The match was all over place as the two brawled all around ringside before the imposter Sting defeated Sting with his own finishing maneuver. Sting could not believe his loss and the MUTA Alliance member will certainly be out for payback, likely on opposite sides of the ring at Survival of the Sickest.
PRESTORY: Earlier tonight, Jamilia Craft and Allysin Kay got into an argument backstage. As the verbal exchange got heated, Kay's partner Jessicka Havok arrived as her backup. Havok and Kay bullied Craft and challenged her to meet them in a tag team match tonight. Without hesitation, Craft accepted the challenge, although who she would choose as her partner was unclear. Her top choices were her closest friends, Nevaeh who was already scheduled to compete, Jessie McKay who was unable to attend due to travel issues and Nikki Roxx who had prior committments. This left Craft without a partner but she refused to back down and prepared to head down the aisle into a 2 on 1 situation. However, when Craft reached the ring she was shocked to see none other than Claudia come down after her, asking to be her partner. Craft was skeptical but felt she had no choice and so she agreed to allow the Angel of Mercy to be her partner despite their storied past..
Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok def. Jamilia Craft & Claudia (21:44) when Havok CRITICAL'd Claudia with the Air Raid Crash
AFTERSTORY: It was a solid effort from the unlikely duo but just not enough to topple the former womens' tag team champions. Claudia seemingly sacrified herself when she tagged herself in and ended up falling victim to the air raid crash rather than Jamilia. Havok and Kay walked away with the win and the bragging rights.
PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, Sin Cara made a big impression with his performance in the cruiserweight battle royal. As a result, Cara was paired against Rey Mysterio for what promised to be a high flying showcase at Halloween Havoc!
Rey Mysterio def. Sin Cara (14:19) with a victory roll
AFTERSTORY: Near fall after near fall led to Mysterio catching Sin Cara with a victory roll for the three. Both men wowed the audience with their aerial maneuvers. After the match the masked men shook hands to applause from the crowd, but before they could exit they were assaulted by Dean Malenko! Malenko had been making waves about his unhappiness at missing the cruiserweight battle royal by just one vote and looked to take out his frustrations here on both Sin Cara and Mysterio. Rey and Cara were able to battle back and unite together againts Dean and ended up dropkicking him out of the ring. Dean retreated but we can be certain that he'll be back for more - at Survival of the Sickest.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Vader via 3rd Round KO (0:27) after a short arm clothesline to RETAIN the championship (10:27)
PRESTORY: FPR Management gave perennial #1 contender and Queen's Cup winner, Madison Eagles, the night off for Halloween Havoc but she declined and opted for a match anyways. Eagles came to the ring and declared that she was going to continue competing leading up to her title shot which she is looking at Royal Battle as far as when it will take place, she has been waiting for the opportune moment. Eagles challenged anyone to face her for what she called a 'warm up bout', and her challenge was answered by recent title contender Trish Stratus!
Madison Eagles def. Trish Stratus (12:33) via STF submission
AFTERSTORY: Eagles continues to be one of the most impressive stars in FPR as she gains another victory. Eagles continues on her road towards her future title shot and next month at Survival of the Sickest, she will choose which side she competes on.
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express def. The Fantastics (23:31) when Eaton forced Fulton to submit to a single leg crab to RETAIN the championships!
PRESTORY: MsChif has been enraged ever since her first round Queen's Cup loss to Nevaeh, which many considered an upset. At the Ultimate Encounter, MsChif was pinned in an 8 woman tag following a double team maneuver from Nevaeh and Jamilia Craft. Now at Halloween Havoc, MsChif wanted revenge and challenged Nevaeh to a one on one rematch!
Nevaeh def. MsChif (21:24) with the Over the Heavens bridging german suplex
AFTERSTORY: What a match! The showstealer match of the night from these two as Nevaeh gets the best of MsChif once again. MsChif truly gave it her all and bent Nevaeh in all sorts of submissions as well as hitting her signature moves but Nevaeh kept coming. Nevaeh gave her all as well and it was a second Over the Heavens that got the 3 with a beautiful bridging pin. A truly great match with both women giving excellent performances. Their stocks are sure to rise in FPR and Nevaeh's victory should propel her far up the ladder. Nevaeh celebrated her huge victory around ringside with fans. Afterwards, Winter appeared on the stage looking down at ringside with her eye on Nevaeh.
PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Beth Phoenix & Natalya were voted into the womens tag team titles bout and their new alliance proved successful as they defeated the Canadian Ninjas in a near 40 minute battle to claim the titles. Beth and Natalya made for quite the team and now at Halloween Havoc, the Ninjas would get their rematch. Portia Perez only wanted one stipulation added to the match. After being bloodied at the hands of Natalya last week, Portia wanted the match to take place under bunkhouse rules! And so the match was set.
Women's Tag Team Championships Bunkhouse Rules Match: The Canadian Ninjas def. Beth Phoenix & Natalya (14:29) when Portia pinned Beth with a backslide to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Portia and Nicole pulled it off! The stipulation set by Portia Perez many thought would favor the champions but it did in fact lead to the challengers regaining the gold. Nicole held Natalya back in the corner allowing Portia to catch Beth with the backslide. With the win, the Canadian Ninjas become the first ever 2 time womens' tag team champions. The two teams will meet again in a 4 on 4 situation before Beth and Natalya get their rematch in December.
PRESTORY: Last week, Kelly Kelly made her first apperance at Cyber Saturday in the FYF Battle Royal and impressed everyone by lasting till the final two of the match and nearly coming out with the victory, not to mention scoring several of the eliminations. Kelly's impressive performance gained her a chance to truly prove herself by taking on a top opponent. Kelly would face the challenge of Sara Del Rey at Halloween Havoc! Del Rey is coming off a big win streak and would do whatever it takes to not let Kelly put a stop to it while Kelly had everything to prove!
Sara Del Rey def. Kelly Kelly (14:02) with the Royal Butterfly
AFTERSTORY: Kelly put up a fight but it wasn't enough to take down Sara Del Rey. Kelly kept kicking out until she was hit with the Royal Butterfly and that spelled the end. Kelly will remain in the picture though as she has since been confirmed for Survival of the Sickest, as has Del Rey.
PRESTORY: While John Cena was the man voted in to win the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship last week, three men were tied behind him in second place of the close running. Those three men were former champions - the Great Muta, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Terry Funk was in negotiations for this event but is still recovering from back to back debilitating RKOs. As a result, FPR Management took the triple threat and decided once again to inject some Halloween Havoc into the match by tossing Jakob Furis into the mix! The outcome would be a fatal 4 way match where the first pin wins, sure to cause mayhem
Fatal 4 Way Match: Triple H def. The Great Muta, Stone Cold Steve Austin, & Jakob Furis (16:26) via figure four leglock submission on Furis.
AFTERSTORY: The Game gets the big victory via submission on the wildcard of the match Jakob Furis. Austin and Muta kept on brawling until the finish and HHH gains a big victory in moving himself up the ladder.
PRESTORY: Gail Kim caught everyone by surprise when she won Cyber Saturday's FYF battle royal after being the last entrant voted in. After that match, Madison Rayne led her group to the ring as they confronted Gail Kim and Rayne accused Gail of taking her spot in the match. Madison Rayne challenged Gail to a one on one match which Gail accepted, to take place here at Halloween Havoc!
Madison Rayne def. Gail Kim (15:13) with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY: A huge victory for Madison Rayne, whose singles quest gets off to a great start in what she dubs 'the Beautiful Takeover'. Gail will still get her title shot from CS in December but before then, we have learned that a huge match has been signed for Survival of the Sickest that will see an unlikely pairing as Sara Del Rey joins up with the Beautiful People to battle Gail Kim, Daizee Haze, Serena Deeb, and Kelly Kelly!
PRESTORY: Last week, we witnessed the Undertaker slaughter Drew McIntyre and after doing that, Taker wanted revenge on others who have opposed him recently, starting with the man who beat him for Drew's bounty back in June, The Great Kabuki. Taker and Kabuki have had a long rivalry with Kabuki becoming one of Taker's greatest enemies, now they would meet once again for Halloween Havoc!
The Undertaker def. The Great Kabuki (16:15) via submission
AFTERSTORY: Taker got his revenge in another classic battle between these two. Taker dominated early but Kabuki fought back and kept it very close until Taker was able to lock in a submission, much like Kabuki did in their last encounter. Odds are, Taker will use Survival of the Sickest to take down his rivals for good.
PRESTORY: Ultimo Dragon was victorious for the second straight year and third time overall in Cyber Saturday's traditional cruiserweight battle royal to become the #1 contender. Ultimo would get his shot at Hayabusa at Halloween Havoc!
Junior Championship Match: Ultimo Dragon def. Hayabusa (12:16) after the Asai DDT to become the NEW
Champion!!!
AFTERSTORY: Shockingly, Hayabusa has been defeated! Ultimo Dragon has once again captured the junior championship for a third time.

PRESTORY: A tie in the voting at Cyber Saturday led to a triple threat for the Women's Championship which was won by Amazing Kong. Kong began her third reign with Victoria now gunning for the rematch. With so many in top contention, Victoria as the former champion demanded that her rematch be a one-on-one bout considering she lost it in a triple threat. Her request was granted and Victoria vs Kong was signed for Halloween Havoc!
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Amazing Kong (12:28) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Victoria wins back the title yet again! A record ten time champion, Victoria continues to show why she's maintained a prominent role in FPR for so many years. She surprised many by laying out Kong with a CRITICAL to win back the gold. Kong will be unable to get the next title shot but Kong and Victoria will meet again on opposite sides at Survival of the Sickest!
PRESTORY: John Cena was the man voted in by the fans to receive the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship and Cena succeeded in becoming the new FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Cena accomplished what he had been striving for over the last few years, most notably at this past WrestleMania. Orton's impressive reign came to an end and he was not happy. Orton made the call for his rematch to be contested at Halloween Havoc inside of a 15 foot high steel cage! The main event was set, it would be Cena vs Orton once again, this time in the cage for what would truly be Halloween Havoc!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage Match: John Cena def. Randy Orton (7:52) after the Attitude Adjustment to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: Cena retains in the cage! The bout was quick but intense, Cena was able to catch Orton with his finisher for the victory. As Orton exited the cage, Cena celebrated inside the steel with his championship. Afterwards, the lights went out and when they returned the Four Horsemen had surrounded the cage! The Horsemen were conspicuous by their absence all night and were apparently waiting to strike. The Horsemen entered the cage and Cena began to battle them off one by one but eventually succumbed to the numbers game. They proceeded to beat down Cena inside the cage and left him laying. It seems the Horsemen have made the first strike and it will be up to Cena to head into battle against them at Survival of the Sickest!

October 29, 2011
Theme Song: The Pretty Reckless - "Zombie"
PRESTORY: The annual Chamber of Horrors would return for Halloween Havoc to crown a new #1 contender to Abdullah the Butcher's Hardcore Deathmatch championship. The bout would be filled with former champions, past contenders, and a few relative newcomers.
Chamber of Horrors Match: Raven def. W*NG Kanemura, Mick Foley, Mr. Hughes, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, & Abyss (7:25) via Evenflow CRITICAL on Dreamer
AFTERSTORY: Former ruler of the hardcore division, Raven made a big statement here as he ended things rather quickly with a deadly DDT on longtime rival Tommy Dreamer. Raven will challenge Abdullah in December but prior to that will be Survival of the Sickest where early word is that Raven will lead a revived version of his flock against Abdullah.
PRESTORY: With Madison Rayne in singles competition later tonight, Maryse teamed up with The Beautiful People's most recent associate, Brittney Savage, in a big tag team bout against Daizee & Serena. With Daizee & Deeb's rival Sara Del Rey in other action tonight as well, they were looking for some competition and found it for sure in tag team action.

AFTERSTORY: Daizee & Serena prove once again the tag team that they are by putting down the Beautiful People duo. It was quite a fight and they will definitely see each other in the ring again soon.
PRESTORY: The Big Show downed Andre the Giant at Cyber Saturday and without a #1 contender, FPR Management decided to inject a little Halloween Havoc in by pitting the Boogeyman against the Big Show for the International title!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. The Boogeyman (12:25) via submission to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY: Last weekend, the Freebirds pulled one over on the Road Warriors once again in the Chicago Street Fight at Cyber Saturday. After the match, Power Warrior vowed to get revenge and with the Road Warriors not in the building tonight, that's exactly what he planned to do. Power Warrior challenged the Freebirds both to take him on 2 on 1! The Freebirds gladly accept what may not have been a wise move by the Power Warrior.
Handicap Match: The Fabulous Freebirds def. Power Warrior (11:32) via submission when Hayes used a single leg crab
AFTERSTORY: As would be expected, Power Warrior could not overcome the 2 on 1 odds against the Freebirds. Though he did put up a good fight, he was unable to beat two guys at once. The Freebirds leave once again with their heads held high and the Road Warriors will have one more shot at redemption when they meet in a 4 on 4 battle at Survival of the Sickest!
PRESTORY: At the Ultimate Encounter, we witnessed the emergence of an impostor Sting wrestling alongside Kane and The Undertaker. When Sting got word of this and witnessed what took place, he decided Halloween Havoc would be the ideal event to confront his imposter and challenge him to a one on one bout!
"Sting" def. Sting (19:07) via submission with the Scorpion Deathlock
AFTERSTORY: In a wild case of identity fraud, the imposter beats the original! The match was all over place as the two brawled all around ringside before the imposter Sting defeated Sting with his own finishing maneuver. Sting could not believe his loss and the MUTA Alliance member will certainly be out for payback, likely on opposite sides of the ring at Survival of the Sickest.
PRESTORY: Earlier tonight, Jamilia Craft and Allysin Kay got into an argument backstage. As the verbal exchange got heated, Kay's partner Jessicka Havok arrived as her backup. Havok and Kay bullied Craft and challenged her to meet them in a tag team match tonight. Without hesitation, Craft accepted the challenge, although who she would choose as her partner was unclear. Her top choices were her closest friends, Nevaeh who was already scheduled to compete, Jessie McKay who was unable to attend due to travel issues and Nikki Roxx who had prior committments. This left Craft without a partner but she refused to back down and prepared to head down the aisle into a 2 on 1 situation. However, when Craft reached the ring she was shocked to see none other than Claudia come down after her, asking to be her partner. Craft was skeptical but felt she had no choice and so she agreed to allow the Angel of Mercy to be her partner despite their storied past..
Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok def. Jamilia Craft & Claudia (21:44) when Havok CRITICAL'd Claudia with the Air Raid Crash
AFTERSTORY: It was a solid effort from the unlikely duo but just not enough to topple the former womens' tag team champions. Claudia seemingly sacrified herself when she tagged herself in and ended up falling victim to the air raid crash rather than Jamilia. Havok and Kay walked away with the win and the bragging rights.
PRESTORY: Last week at Cyber Saturday, Sin Cara made a big impression with his performance in the cruiserweight battle royal. As a result, Cara was paired against Rey Mysterio for what promised to be a high flying showcase at Halloween Havoc!
Rey Mysterio def. Sin Cara (14:19) with a victory roll
AFTERSTORY: Near fall after near fall led to Mysterio catching Sin Cara with a victory roll for the three. Both men wowed the audience with their aerial maneuvers. After the match the masked men shook hands to applause from the crowd, but before they could exit they were assaulted by Dean Malenko! Malenko had been making waves about his unhappiness at missing the cruiserweight battle royal by just one vote and looked to take out his frustrations here on both Sin Cara and Mysterio. Rey and Cara were able to battle back and unite together againts Dean and ended up dropkicking him out of the ring. Dean retreated but we can be certain that he'll be back for more - at Survival of the Sickest.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Vader via 3rd Round KO (0:27) after a short arm clothesline to RETAIN the championship (10:27)
PRESTORY: FPR Management gave perennial #1 contender and Queen's Cup winner, Madison Eagles, the night off for Halloween Havoc but she declined and opted for a match anyways. Eagles came to the ring and declared that she was going to continue competing leading up to her title shot which she is looking at Royal Battle as far as when it will take place, she has been waiting for the opportune moment. Eagles challenged anyone to face her for what she called a 'warm up bout', and her challenge was answered by recent title contender Trish Stratus!
Madison Eagles def. Trish Stratus (12:33) via STF submission
AFTERSTORY: Eagles continues to be one of the most impressive stars in FPR as she gains another victory. Eagles continues on her road towards her future title shot and next month at Survival of the Sickest, she will choose which side she competes on.

PRESTORY: MsChif has been enraged ever since her first round Queen's Cup loss to Nevaeh, which many considered an upset. At the Ultimate Encounter, MsChif was pinned in an 8 woman tag following a double team maneuver from Nevaeh and Jamilia Craft. Now at Halloween Havoc, MsChif wanted revenge and challenged Nevaeh to a one on one rematch!
Nevaeh def. MsChif (21:24) with the Over the Heavens bridging german suplex
AFTERSTORY: What a match! The showstealer match of the night from these two as Nevaeh gets the best of MsChif once again. MsChif truly gave it her all and bent Nevaeh in all sorts of submissions as well as hitting her signature moves but Nevaeh kept coming. Nevaeh gave her all as well and it was a second Over the Heavens that got the 3 with a beautiful bridging pin. A truly great match with both women giving excellent performances. Their stocks are sure to rise in FPR and Nevaeh's victory should propel her far up the ladder. Nevaeh celebrated her huge victory around ringside with fans. Afterwards, Winter appeared on the stage looking down at ringside with her eye on Nevaeh.
PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, Beth Phoenix & Natalya were voted into the womens tag team titles bout and their new alliance proved successful as they defeated the Canadian Ninjas in a near 40 minute battle to claim the titles. Beth and Natalya made for quite the team and now at Halloween Havoc, the Ninjas would get their rematch. Portia Perez only wanted one stipulation added to the match. After being bloodied at the hands of Natalya last week, Portia wanted the match to take place under bunkhouse rules! And so the match was set.
Women's Tag Team Championships Bunkhouse Rules Match: The Canadian Ninjas def. Beth Phoenix & Natalya (14:29) when Portia pinned Beth with a backslide to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Portia and Nicole pulled it off! The stipulation set by Portia Perez many thought would favor the champions but it did in fact lead to the challengers regaining the gold. Nicole held Natalya back in the corner allowing Portia to catch Beth with the backslide. With the win, the Canadian Ninjas become the first ever 2 time womens' tag team champions. The two teams will meet again in a 4 on 4 situation before Beth and Natalya get their rematch in December.
PRESTORY: Last week, Kelly Kelly made her first apperance at Cyber Saturday in the FYF Battle Royal and impressed everyone by lasting till the final two of the match and nearly coming out with the victory, not to mention scoring several of the eliminations. Kelly's impressive performance gained her a chance to truly prove herself by taking on a top opponent. Kelly would face the challenge of Sara Del Rey at Halloween Havoc! Del Rey is coming off a big win streak and would do whatever it takes to not let Kelly put a stop to it while Kelly had everything to prove!
Sara Del Rey def. Kelly Kelly (14:02) with the Royal Butterfly
AFTERSTORY: Kelly put up a fight but it wasn't enough to take down Sara Del Rey. Kelly kept kicking out until she was hit with the Royal Butterfly and that spelled the end. Kelly will remain in the picture though as she has since been confirmed for Survival of the Sickest, as has Del Rey.
PRESTORY: While John Cena was the man voted in to win the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship last week, three men were tied behind him in second place of the close running. Those three men were former champions - the Great Muta, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Terry Funk was in negotiations for this event but is still recovering from back to back debilitating RKOs. As a result, FPR Management took the triple threat and decided once again to inject some Halloween Havoc into the match by tossing Jakob Furis into the mix! The outcome would be a fatal 4 way match where the first pin wins, sure to cause mayhem
Fatal 4 Way Match: Triple H def. The Great Muta, Stone Cold Steve Austin, & Jakob Furis (16:26) via figure four leglock submission on Furis.
AFTERSTORY: The Game gets the big victory via submission on the wildcard of the match Jakob Furis. Austin and Muta kept on brawling until the finish and HHH gains a big victory in moving himself up the ladder.
PRESTORY: Gail Kim caught everyone by surprise when she won Cyber Saturday's FYF battle royal after being the last entrant voted in. After that match, Madison Rayne led her group to the ring as they confronted Gail Kim and Rayne accused Gail of taking her spot in the match. Madison Rayne challenged Gail to a one on one match which Gail accepted, to take place here at Halloween Havoc!
Madison Rayne def. Gail Kim (15:13) with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY: A huge victory for Madison Rayne, whose singles quest gets off to a great start in what she dubs 'the Beautiful Takeover'. Gail will still get her title shot from CS in December but before then, we have learned that a huge match has been signed for Survival of the Sickest that will see an unlikely pairing as Sara Del Rey joins up with the Beautiful People to battle Gail Kim, Daizee Haze, Serena Deeb, and Kelly Kelly!
PRESTORY: Last week, we witnessed the Undertaker slaughter Drew McIntyre and after doing that, Taker wanted revenge on others who have opposed him recently, starting with the man who beat him for Drew's bounty back in June, The Great Kabuki. Taker and Kabuki have had a long rivalry with Kabuki becoming one of Taker's greatest enemies, now they would meet once again for Halloween Havoc!
The Undertaker def. The Great Kabuki (16:15) via submission
AFTERSTORY: Taker got his revenge in another classic battle between these two. Taker dominated early but Kabuki fought back and kept it very close until Taker was able to lock in a submission, much like Kabuki did in their last encounter. Odds are, Taker will use Survival of the Sickest to take down his rivals for good.
