PRESTORY: The traditional Cyber Saturday opener returns as eight cruiserweights will do battle in the ring at once! No better way to kick off an event with excitement than this one is. Historically, this match has led to many having breakout performances. This year who will be the ones to shine? It's all up to you to vote eight into this match!

VOTING RESULTS
Rey Mysterio - 50 votes; All-time record of votes received. 2006 & 2009 winner. Highest voted since 2007. Only competitor to compete in this match every year from 2006 on. Former junior champion looks to make a major statement with a victory
Sin Cara - 26 votes; First ever Cyber Saturday appearance. Makes major first impression by coming in 2nd in the voting. Sin Cara would be the wildcard of the match with a huge opportunity on this night.
Evan Bourne - 22 votes; Has competed in every battle since 2008. Bourne has always been impressive but unable to gain the major victories.
Jushin Liger - 19 votes; First CS Battle Royal appearance since the very first one in 2006. Record 7 time Junior Champion and was the defending champion at Cyber Saturday 07-10. Liger looks to use this match to begin his path back to the top of the division he once ruled.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. - 18 votes; Competed in 07, 09, and 2010 but has been unable to find victory. Chavo looks to prove himself in this match and make waves in the division.

8 Man Cruiserweight Battle Royal: Ultimo Dragon def. Jushin Liger, Chavo Guerrero, Billy Kidman, Evan Bourne, Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio, & AJ Styles (22:49)
*Styles eliminated Liger at 12:34 via pinfall
*Bourne eliminated Chavo at 13:39 with a small package
*Mysterio eliminated Kidman at 17:51 with a magistral rollup
*Cara eliminated Bourne at 18:48 with a spinning hurricarana
*Ultimo eliminated Cara at 22:24 with a victory roll
*Ultimo eliminated Mysterio at 22:46 via Dragon Sleeper submission
*Ultimo eliminated Styles at 23:36 with a victory roll
AFTERSTORY: Ultimo Dragon did it! He has become the first ever back to back winner of the Cyber Saturday cruiserweight battle royal as well as the first three-time overall winner. All eight had impressive showings here but none more so than the winner. AJ Styles made everyone take notice with his early elimination of former junior kingpin Jushin Liger. Bourne managed to eliminate Chavo and then Mysterio eliminated his own friend in Kidman. Sin Cara was highly impressive in his first Cyber Saturday outing and will surely become a mainstay in the division. In the end, it was all Ultimo Dragon as he eliminated Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio, and lastly AJ Styles. Styles showed great determination in lasting until the very end but it's Ultimo Dragon that is now the #1 contender and he will receive his title shot against whomever is the champion at the end of the night, next week at Halloween Havoc.
PRESTORY: The feud between these two teams has been going for months dating back to the culmination of the Real World Tag League in May. In the league, the Road Warriors cleared their block without losing a single match and went into the semi-finals full of steam but were upset by the Freebirds, who used dirty tactics to defeat the Road Warriors. In June, the two teams matched up for a rematch in a Chicago Street Fight, a challenge made by the Road Warriors to extract some revenge. That match was wild but ended in controversy as Michael Hayes drilled Hawk with a DDT that injured his neck and caused the referee to stop the match. The following month, Animal introduced the Power Warrior at the Great American Bash and sent him into battle with Hayes one on one. Power Warrior made quick work of Hayes, who was presumably completely caught off guard. In August, Hawk would return to battle at Final Burns where a six man tag was held that saw the Road Warriors come out victorious when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit. After all of this, Hawk wanted one more measure of revenge in a singles match with Hayes. Hayes accepted the challenge under the stipulation of a lumberjack match. The match took place at September's Ultimate Encounter and was an absolute showstealer as the two rivals went over 30 minutes before Hayes was able to force the exhausted Hawk to pass out in submission. It was clear at the end of that epic battle that this rivalry wasn't quite over yet. Now it's Cyber Saturday, the most interactive event of all time and you the fans will decide what match the teams will compete in now to potentially put an end to this! The choices will be a second Chicago Street Fight, a brutal Barbed-Wire Ropes match, or an Elimination Style 6 Man Tag that will pair the teams up with their respective 3rds! It's all up to you! [/b]
VOTING RESULTS:
Chicago Street Fight II (55%)
Barbed-Wire Ropes (28%)
Elimination Six Man Tag (17%)
Chicago Street Fight II: The Fabulous Freebirds def. The Road Warriors (16:51) when Garvin pinned Hawk after a piledriver
AFTERSTORY: Shockingly enough, it was once again the Freebirds coming out on top! Hawk was still feeling the effects of last month's grueling 30+ minute lumberjack match and the Freebirds targetting his neck at every turn. The Road Warriors were sure to bring one hell of a fight but it wasn't enough to get the victory. As Garvin made the cover on Hawk, Hayes leveled Animal with a low blow from behind and the Freebirds were quick to exit following the three. After the match, Power Warrior joined Hawk and Animal in the ring to help them regroup. Power Warrior vowed to take out the Freebirds as soon as he gets his hands on them.
PRESTORY: Two years ago it was this very event that saw the fans vote The Big Show into the International Championship Match. Big Show would go on to win the title and hold on to it for over a year. Show lost it briefly earlier this year but quickly regained it. He's been dominant ever since and now it's once again time for the fans to vote who his next opponent will be! Who can topple the Giant?
VOTING RESULTS: For the second straight year the fans voted in Andre the Giant with 9 total votes to get the shot at the Big Show and the International Championship.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Andre the Giant (10:24) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: As if there was any doubt left, The Big Show may very well be unstoppable. Show and Andre had a true clash of the Giants with both men hitting big moves early and giving it all they had but Andre was out of breath first and Show capitalized to take the victory and retain his title. Who can stop the Big Show?
PRESTORY: Last month at the Ultimate Encounter, everyone was shocked to see two masked invaders revealed to be Bob Orton Jr. and Chris Jericho, both of whom have beef with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Bob was last seen at last year's Cyber Saturday when he along with Austin were voted into the Legend Killer Challenge to take on Randy Orton. That night ended with Randy kicking Bob in the head but they've seemed to patch things up since then. Bob returned under a mask to cost Austin a match in July against Randy Orton and attempted to attack him again in September but Austin was able to unmask him. Chris Jericho, on the other hand, lost his career to Stone Cold a year and a half ago and made his shocking return last month under a mask which he willingly removed after blasting Austin in the head with a steel chair. Jericho was chased off security as he was not a contracted member of FPR any longer. However, since then, FPR Management has come to an agreement to allow Jericho back into the fold. Traditionally, Randy Orton has made the Legend Killer challenge at every Cyber Saturday since it's inception but this year he has become the champion. In his absence here, Bob Orton and Chris Jericho decided together that they would reprise the challenge their own way. They have stated that they fully expect the fans to vote Stone Cold Steve Austin as one of their opponents, but have vowed to be ready to expect anyone else. The duo is a very intriguing combination and it will be interesting to see how they perform in both of their first match back against whichever two legends the fans vote into the match!
VOTING RESULTS: The fans voted in Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper with 12 votes each to take on the Ace Cowboy and Jericho! Their archrival Stone Cold Steve Austin was the runner up at 11 votes. [/b]
Legend Killer Challenge: Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper def. Chris Jericho & Bob Orton Jr. (24:43) when Hogan forced Jericho to submit to a boston crab
AFTERSTORY: The Legends triumph! The finish of the match saw Piper sneak into the ring to lay out Jericho with a series of jabs leading to Hogan taking advantage and gaining the win. As the match concluded, Bob pulled Jericho from the ring and the two retreated up the ramp as Hogan and Piper remained in ring to celebrate their victory in style.
PRESTORY: Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle have been at war with the Four Horsemen pretty much all year long. For Angle, it goes back a little further. But things heated up recently as Hogan and Angle along with the Road Warriors went into War Games with the Horsemen at the Great American Bash and came out victorious. However, since then, the Horsemen have been back on top. First it was Brian Pillman pulling an upset victory over Kurt Angle, then it was Flair viciously taking out the leg of Hulk Hogan with a critical Figure Four Leglock. What happens next in this feud is up to you. You choose one from each side. On side 1, you choose Hogan, Angle, or a wildcard thrown into the mix in Big Van Vader. One of them will take on whoever is chosen from side 2 of the Horsemen. Representing the Horsemen will be Flair, Pillman, and Tully Blanchard. One from each side will do battle at Cyber Saturday! [/b]
VOTING RESULTS:
Kurt Angle (51%)
Vader (26%)
Hulk Hogan (23%)
vs.
Ric Flair (60%)
Brian Pillman (28%)
Tully Blanchard (12%)
6 Man Mix Up: Ric Flair def. Kurt Angle (17:02) with a small package
AFTERSTORY: The Horsemen ride high again! Ever since losing at War Games, the Horsemen have bounced back and had the number of their rivals. The match here actually turned out to be a rematch from last year's event but with a much more heated rivalry. Flair used every trick in the book to upset Angle in the end with a quick small package. Angle was left in disbelief in the ring as Flair walked away with the victory and his head held high.
PRESTORY: It's no surprise to see Bob Sapp as Octagon Champion, he's been the defending champion at every one of the now six Cyber Saturday events. Sapp's lost it a few times but always manages to regain the title in the end. This year it's again up to you to decide who will be voted into the Octagon to attempt to dethrone the Beast!
VOTING RESULTS: Fans voted Ken Shamrock into the Octagon this year with 11 votes, just edging out Brock Lesnar at 10. Shamrock came up short in 2008 but would look to try again now in 2011.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Ken Shamrock via 1st Round KO (4:48) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Much like the Big Show, Bob Sapp is unstoppable. It seems no matter who the fans vote in each year, Sapp remains the king of the Octagon. Shamrock didn't last long as Sapp tossed him around the Octagon and slammed him on the mat for the knockout victory.
PRESTORY: Over the past year, Sara Del Rey has been at it with Daizee Haze constantly with Haze always getting the best of Sara. In July, they met in another tag team match where Daizee revealed her surprise mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena would score the pinfall for her team on Del Rey's tag partner that night, Amazing Kong. The following month at Final Burns, Del Rey challenged Serena to a one on one match. That match ended when Del Rey injured Serena early on with the Royal Butterfly. The brutal move put Deeb on the shelf and took her out of the on-coming Queen's Cup tournament. Daizee vowed to win the Queen's Cup for the second straight year in honor of Serena but Del Rey would make sure that didn't happen when she interfered in Daizee's second round match against eventual winner, Madison Eagles. Daizee returned the favor costing Del Rey against Hamada and the two bitter rivals agreed to one more match at the Ultimate Encounter - two out of three falls. There it was Sara Del Rey finally coming out on top when she beat Daizee in two straight falls. Afterwards, Del Rey looked to inflict further damage until Serena Deeb was able to make a surprise return to save her friend. Now that Deeb is back, she wants Del Rey in the ring and she wanted it now. FPR Management quickly signed the match to take place at one of the biggest events of the year, and the most interactive of all time, Cyber Saturday. Serena and Sara will meet again, this time with the fans choosing the stipulation!
VOTING RESULTS
2/3 Falls (35%)
Stretcher (33%)
I Quit (32%)
2/3 Falls Match: Sara Del Rey def. Serena Deeb (18:05) in 2 straight falls
*Del Rey pinned Serena with a sunset flip at 10:24
*Del Rey pinned Serena with a rollup at 7:41
AFTERSTORY: In one of the best matches of the night, Sara Del Rey continues her roll. The second fall was one of the best we've ever seen as Serena gave everything she had to try and even the score. Serena delivered the jabs and hit two patented Spears but it wasn't enough. After an incredible sequence of near-falls that saw Deeb kick out of the Royal Butterfly and the two trade northern-lights suplexes, once they got back to their feet Del Rey caught Serena from behind with a rollup out of nowhere for the win. Serena initially complained that Sara pulled the tights but the outcome was official. Del Rey celebrated her victory but Deeb would have none of it and she hit Sara with a third spear after the match! Sara may have beaten Daizee last month and now holds two victories over Serena but one would assume that this grudge is far from over.
PRESTORY: Another one of Cyber Saturday's biggest staples is the Ultimate Fan Dream Match. Cyber Saturday is a card made and decided by the fans and this match is the one match above all others that you want to see the most. You vote for absolutely anyone to take on anyone else to create the ultimate fan dream match. The match that receives the most votes will be the one that takes place at Cyber Saturday. Past 'Dream Matches' have been unforgettable and several have led to lengthy rivalries. This year it is once again all up to you!
VOTING RESULTS: The fan dream match went to CM Punk vs Stone Cold Steve Austin with 4 votes! Just edging out a near-rematch from last year in Undertaker vs Sting
Ultimate Fan Dream Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. CM Punk (13:00) after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Punk and Austin put on a spectacular match in their first-ever one on one meeting. Austin was able to gain the victory but Punk had an impressive showing and will likely be back for more. Austin still has his sights on regaining the world title but he may have ignited a new rivalry here with Punk.
PRESTORY: Another one of Cyber Saturday's greatest traditions is the "Fulfill Your Fantasy" Women's Battle Royal which pits eight women into one match as voted on by the fans. It's up to the fans to choose the top eight women and they wil battle over #1 contendership to the Women's Championship. The match has proven to always be one of the most exciting matches of the night with a diverse group of competitors every time and this year shall be no different. It's up to you determine which women get to compete in the match at Cyber Saturday!

AFTERSTORY: Gail Kim comes from the bottom to win it all for her second time! Mickie eliminated Trish early on and Lita surprised many with her elimination of Kong. Kelly Kelly shined in a major way when she pinned both Lita and Beth Phoenix. Gail was able to force Mickie into submission and then Kelly pinned Natalya. Gail pinned Kelly in the end of a fantastic battle. Kelly Kelly certainly made a name for herself by going to the final two in her CS debut and has earned a spot among the rankings. Meanwhile, Gail Kim becomes top contender in the division. Not to forget that the Queen's Cup winner Madison Eagles remains waiting in the wings for her shot at the title. After the battle here had ended, Gail Kim celebrated her victory until The Beautiful People trio of Madison Rayne, Maryse, & Brittney Savage arrived. Rayne led them down the ramp with a mic as they surrounded the ring and Rayne blamed Gail for taking what she believed was her spot in the match. Rayne declared that she was leading the Beautiful People to the top and was not accepting defeat any more after their tag loss last month. Rayne issued a challenge to Gail for next week's Halloween Havoc which Gail accepted. Meanwhile, FPR Management has announced that Kelly Kelly will face Sara Del Rey in singles competition as the women's division continues to reach new heights and remains hotter than ever.
PRESTORY: Last month, Abdullah the Butcher was able to regain the Hardcore Deathmatch Championship back from Mick Foley just in time for Cyber Saturday, the most unpredictable event of the year. Last year Abdullah went in as champion also but did not come out with the title. This year, Abdullah will once again be defending the Deathmatch crown and it's up to you to determine who goes to war with him in the bloody battlegrounds!
VOTING RESULTS: The fans vote Mick Foley to receive a rematch with Abdullah as he received 17 votes!

AFTERSTORY: A back and forth bloody brawl sees Abdullah retain the championship decisively over Foley. Both men used everything they could from the lighttubes to the landmines and in the end it was Abdullah's elbow drop scoring the three. Next week the Chamber of Horrors returns to determine a future challenger for Abdullah's title!
PRESTORY: One year ago at Cyber Saturday 2010, Madison Rayne and Maryse introduced the brand new FPR Women's Tag Team Championships which led to a surprise bonus bout and the even more surprising debut of the Canadian Ninjas. Portia & Nicole were unsuccessful in their bid for the titles and ended up having a rougher than expecting debut year but everything turned around this past August when they shocked then-champions Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay to become the new champions in a big upset. The Ninjas proved they were no fluke when they retained the titles in the rematch and now they head into Cyber Saturday 2011 for the first-ever fan-voted women's tag team championship bout. It's all up to you to determine who will get the shot at the gold!
VOTING RESULTS: The fans voted in the tag team of Beth Phoenix & Natalya who received 8 votes to get the title shot! Beth & Natalya feuded with one another throughout late last year but now they will look to co-exist as a team.
Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Beth Phoenix & Natalya def. The Canadian Ninjas (37:43) when Natalya forced Portia to submit to the Sharpshooter to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: What a battle! These two teams went nearly forty minutes in an all-out brawl. Portia and Nicole would not give up easy and Beth & Natalya just kept on coming. Portia was bleeding by the end of the bout as Natalya finally forced her into submission with her Sharpshooter. It's a bit of a change in attitude for Natalya who has seemingly made full amends with her new partner Beth Phoenix and they look primed to take over the women's tag team division together. They will however have several challenges awaiting them and the Ninjas are first in line for a rematch. Beth and Natalya managed to create the first title change of the night here and they exited with the gold in tact.
PRESTORY: Hayabusa has had one of the best years of his FPR Career. He won the Super J Cup in February and would go on to capture the Junior Championship at WrestleMania. Since then, Hayabusa has been nearly unstoppable. He's had several successful title defenses as well as tag team victories. His only loss coming at the hands of Julian Caesaro last month at the Ultimate Encounter. Now it's your turn to decide who gets the next title shot against the legendary Hayabusa!
VOTING RESULTS: The fans voted in former 7 time junior champion Jushin Liger to get the title shot!
Junior Championship Match: Hayabusa def. Jushin Liger (8:12) with the Falcon Arrow to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: It was a fast-paced match that surprisingly didn't last very long as Hayabusa was able to down the former champion with his Falcon Arrow finisher to retain his championship. Hayabusa remains a dominant champion and now he'll have to face another former champion in new #1 contender crowned earlier, Utlimo Dragon, at Halloween Havoc next week.
PRESTORY: The Midnight Express have been on a roll since their extremely impressive Real World Tag League victory. They won the tag team championships in June at Bloodlines and have had successful defense after defense. Now it's your turn to decide who gets the next tag team title shot! The Midnights have proven to be a very tough tag team to stop and their next opponent is up to the fans.
VOTING RESULTS: The fans voted in The Rock N Roll Express with 8 votes to get the title shot against the Midnights!
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express def. The Rock 'n' Roll Express (15:38) when Lane pinned Gibson after Eaton used the Alabama Jam to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The two teams put on another classic bout but the Midnights were able to retain the titles. Eaton connected with his finisher as the referee was getting Morton out of the ring which allowed Lane to capitalize and score the pinfall. The RNR Express put up a fight and are likely to stick around the title picture for now but the Midnights next opponents remains to be determined.
PRESTORY: Drew McIntyre & The Undertaker first met in the King of the Ring Tournament in April. Drew threw everything he had at Taker there but after 25 minutes of battle he could not put the Deadman away and ended up falling to the Last Ride. Taker was exhausted by the end but still managed to come out victorious. The following month, Drew challenged Taker to a rematch but was again unsuccessful. Increasingly frustrated, Drew placed a thousand dollar bounty on the head of the Undertaker. That bounty was quickly snatched up by Taker's longtime rival, The Great Kabuki, at Bloodlines. Kabuki caught Taker with green mist into the eyes, blinding him, and then forcing him to pass out in a camel clutch. After that match, Drew congratulated Kabuki with the briefcase of money as the two then put a beating on Undertaker. Drew told Taker then that things weren't over yet if Taker was going to continue to show up. At the Great American Bash, Drew introduced the debuting Mr. Hughes to take out Taker and that's exactly what he did. Hughes flattented Taker with a big splash as it looked like Taker was becoming weakened more and more. After Drew succeeded in having both Kabuki and Hughes take out the Undertaker, he challenged Taker to face him again at Final Burns. The two met one on one with Drew full of confidence, but it was one mistake that cost him and Taker was able to catch him with the Last Ride for the win. Just when it looked as if Taker was out, he would rise to the occasion once again. From there, Drew teamed up with Kabuki and Hughes for a six man tag team match where they were victorious. Afterwards, Drew challenged the Undertaker to settle this once and for all with one more match at Cyber Saturday 2011! Now it's your turn to decide what match they will compete in. Will they be locked inside of a steel cage? Will it come down to the Last Man Standing? Or will wrestlers surround the ring for a lumberjack match? It's all up to you!
VOTING RESULTS:
Steel Cage (45%)
Last Man Standing (39%)
Lumberjack (16%)
Steel Cage Match: The Undertaker def. Drew McIntyre (6:25) after the Last Ride
AFTERSTORY: It was a shocking slaughter inside the steel cage as The Undertaker completely destroyed Drew McIntyre. It looks to be official that Drew simply cannot defeat the Undertaker. Taker tossed Drew around the cage before dropping him with two Last Rides for the very quick defeat. Many expected Drew to come in with a bit more steam and momentum but Taker put a quick stop to Drew and left him laid out in the cage at the end of the bout.
PRESTORY: Victoria has dominated the women's title picture for most of the year. In fact, it was this event last year that put an added boost into her career after some losses. After a quick back and forth with Ayako Hamada earlier in the year, she has remained champion for months and now it's up to you to determine who her next challenger will be. She has had some close encounters lately with recent challengers but has managed to come out with the gold each time. Now she heads into the most unpredictable event of the year, Cyber Saturday, you choose which woman challenges for the prestigious championship!
VOTING RESULTS: Fans voted much like in 2009, a TIE as 9 votes each went to both Amazing Kong & Trish Stratus! Because of this, the match was made a triple threat match with the champion Victoria!
Women's Championship Match: Amazing Kong def. Trish Stratus & Victoria (21:47) to become the NEW Champion!!
*Victoria pinned Trish (20:47) with a jackknife cover
*Kong pinned Victoria (21:47) after the Uraken Fist
AFTERSTORY: Kong has taken the title! Victoria was put at a huge disadvantage with the triple threat but almost retained the title and would have had it been first fall. But Kong was able to catch her off guard and get the pin and the title. Kong will begin her third reign here at Cyber Saturday and Victoria will be out for revenge very soon. Also, Gail Kim is right behind with the contendership and she ended Kong's first title run back in 2008. Plus Madison Eagles and much more are wanting a shot in this crowded hot women's division!
PRESTORY: Regardless of how he got there, Randy Orton is the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion and has proven worthy of the title. Orton has competed at every Cyber Saturday with his own match but now he is the champion which means he headlines the event defending his title against whoever the fans may choose which could be literally anyone in the world! Orton proved he can take on all comers by retaining his championship in a wild fatal 4 way match over three former champions in Muta, Funk, and Stone Cold, that no one expected him to win and now he must be prepared for the most unpredictable event of all time. It's up to you to decide who will get the chance of a lifetime and challenge Orton for the gold!
VOTING RESULTS: We came close to a near 6 pack challenge as the voting was close to a tie with several opponents including former champions Triple H, Steve Austin, and the Great Muta, but towards the end of the race two votes pushed one man into the match against Orton and that man would be John Cena!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena def. Randy Orton (15:14) via STF Submission to become the NEW FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!!
AFTERSTORY: John Cena has done it! Cena was unable to capture the gold earlier this year at WrestleMania but now with the help of the fans votes, Cena was able to force the Viper into submission to win the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship for a third time! Cena has not held the title since 2007 but on this night he ended Cyber Saturday VI with the championship held high. Orton has been seething ever since and he wants his revenge and the title back next week at Halloween Havoc!
©FPR Cyber Saturday 2011. Thanks to those who voted in making the sixth annual Cyber Saturday another huge success! FPR's next event will be the TV Special, Halloween Havoc, coming up this Saturday with several huge matches planned to take place including title rematches for Orton and Victoria, a title shot for Ultimo Dragon, the Chamber of Horrors, and so much more!

The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) vs The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin)
The feud between these two teams has been going for months dating back to the culmination of the Real World Tag League in May. In the league, the Road Warriors cleared their block without losing a single match and went into the semi-finals full of steam but were upset by the Freebirds, who used dirty tactics to defeat the Road Warriors. In June, the two teams matched up for a rematch in a Chicago Street Fight, a challenge made by the Road Warriors to extract some revenge. That match was wild but ended in controversy as Michael Hayes drilled Hawk with a DDT that injured his neck and caused the referee to stop the match. The following month, Animal introduced the Power Warrior at the Great American Bash and sent him into battle with Hayes one on one. Power Warrior made quick work of Hayes, who was presumably completely caught off guard. In August, Hawk would return to battle at Final Burns where a six man tag was held that saw the Road Warriors come out victorious when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit. After all of this, Hawk wanted one more measure of revenge in a singles match with Hayes. Hayes accepted the challenge under the stipulation of a lumberjack match. The match took place at September's Ultimate Encounter and was an absolute showstealer as the two rivals went over 30 minutes before Hayes was able to force the exhausted Hawk to pass out in submission. It was clear at the end of that epic battle that this rivalry wasn't quite over yet. Now it's Cyber Saturday, the most interactive event of all time and you the fans will decide what match the teams will compete in now to potentially put an end to this! The choices will be a second Chicago Street Fight, a brutal Barbed-Wire Ropes match, or an Elimination Style 6 Man Tag that will pair the teams up with their respective 3rds! It's all up to you!
VOTE: Chicago Street Fight II, Barbed-Wire Ropes, OR Elimination 6-Man Tag (with partners)
International Championship Match: The Big Show(c) vs ???
Two years ago it was this very event that saw the fans vote The Big Show into the International Championship Match. Big Show would go on to win the title and hold on to it for over a year. Show lost it briefly earlier this year but quickly regained it. He's been dominant ever since and now it's once again time for the fans to vote who his next opponent will be! Who can topple the Giant?

Legend Killer Challenge: "Ace Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. & Chris Jericho vs ??? & ???
Last month at the Ultimate Encounter, everyone was shocked to see two masked invaders revealed to be Bob Orton Jr. and Chris Jericho, both of whom have beef with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Bob was last seen at last year's Cyber Saturday when he along with Austin were voted into the Legend Killer Challenge to take on Randy Orton. That night ended with Randy kicking Bob in the head but they've seemed to patch things up since then. Bob returned under a mask to cost Austin a match in July against Randy Orton and attempted to attack him again in September but Austin was able to unmask him. Chris Jericho, on the other hand, lost his career to Stone Cold a year and a half ago and made his shocking return last month under a mask which he willingly removed after blasting Austin in the head with a steel chair. Jericho was chased off security as he was not a contracted member of FPR any longer. However, since then, FPR Management has come to an agreement to allow Jericho back into the fold. Traditionally, Randy Orton has made the Legend Killer challenge at every Cyber Saturday since it's inception but this year he has become the champion. In his absence here, Bob Orton and Chris Jericho decided together that they would reprise the challenge their own way. They have stated that they fully expect the fans to vote Stone Cold Steve Austin as one of their opponents, but have vowed to be ready to expect anyone else. The duo is a very intriguing combination and it will be interesting to see how they perform in both of their first match back against whichever two legends the fans vote into the match!

6 Man Mix Up: Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, OR Vader vs. Ric Flair, Brian Pillman, OR Tully Blanchard
Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle have been at war with the Four Horsemen pretty much all year long. For Angle, it goes back a little further. But things heated up recently as Hogan and Angle along with the Road Warriors went into War Games with the Horsemen at the Great American Bash and came out victorious. However, since then, the Horsemen have been back on top. First it was Brian Pillman pulling an upset victory over Kurt Angle, then it was Flair viciously taking out the leg of Hulk Hogan with a critical Figure Four Leglock. What happens next in this feud is up to you. You choose one from each side. On side 1, you choose Hogan, Angle, or a wildcard thrown into the mix in Big Van Vader.

Sara Del Rey vs Serena Deeb
Over the past year, Sara Del Rey has been at it with Daizee Haze constantly with Haze always getting the best of Sara. In July, they met in another tag team match where Daizee revealed her surprise mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena would score the pinfall for her team on Del Rey's tag partner that night, Amazing Kong. The following month at Final Burns, Del Rey challenged Serena to a one on one match. That match ended when Del Rey injured Serena early on with the Royal Butterfly. The brutal move put Deeb on the shelf and took her out of the on-coming Queen's Cup tournament. Daizee vowed to win the Queen's Cup for the second straight year in honor of Serena but Del Rey would make sure that didn't happen when she interfered in Daizee's second round match against eventual winner, Madison Eagles. Daizee returned the favor costing Del Rey against Hamada and the two bitter rivals agreed to one more match at the Ultimate Encounter - two out of three falls. There it was Sara Del Rey finally coming out on top when she beat Daizee in two straight falls. Afterwards, Del Rey looked to inflict further damage until Serena Deeb was able to make a surprise return to save her friend. Now that Deeb is back, she wants Del Rey in the ring and she wanted it now. FPR Management quickly signed the match to take place at one of the biggest events of the year, and the most interactive of all time, Cyber Saturday.

The Undertaker vs Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre & The Undertaker first met in the King of the Ring Tournament in April. Drew threw everything he had at Taker there but after 25 minutes of battle he could not put the Deadman away and ended up falling to the Last Ride. Taker was exhausted by the end but still managed to come out victorious. The following month, Drew challenged Taker to a rematch but was again unsuccessful. Increasingly frustrated, Drew placed a thousand dollar bounty on the head of the Undertaker. That bounty was quickly snatched up by Taker's longtime rival, The Great Kabuki, at Bloodlines. Kabuki caught Taker with green mist into the eyes, blinding him, and then forcing him to pass out in a camel clutch. After that match, Drew congratulated Kabuki with the briefcase of money as the two then put a beating on Undertaker. Drew told Taker then that things weren't over yet if Taker was going to continue to show up. At the Great American Bash, Drew introduced the debuting Mr. Hughes to take out Taker and that's exactly what he did. Hughes flattented Taker with a big splash as it looked like Taker was becoming weakened more and more. After Drew succeeded in having both Kabuki and Hughes take out the Undertaker, he challenged Taker to face him again at Final Burns. The two met one on one with Drew full of confidence, but it was one mistake that cost him and Taker was able to catch him with the Last Ride for the win. Just when it looked as if Taker was out, he would rise to the occasion once again. From there, Drew teamed up with Kabuki and Hughes for a six man tag team match where they were victorious. Afterwards, Drew challenged the Undertaker to settle this once and for all with one more match at Cyber Saturday 2011! Now it's your turn to decide what match they will compete in.

The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) vs The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin)
The feud between these two teams has been going for months dating back to the culmination of the Real World Tag League in May. In the league, the Road Warriors cleared their block without losing a single match and went into the semi-finals full of steam but were upset by the Freebirds, who used dirty tactics to defeat the Road Warriors. In June, the two teams matched up for a rematch in a Chicago Street Fight, a challenge made by the Road Warriors to extract some revenge. That match was wild but ended in controversy as Michael Hayes drilled Hawk with a DDT that injured his neck and caused the referee to stop the match. The following month, Animal introduced the Power Warrior at the Great American Bash and sent him into battle with Hayes one on one. Power Warrior made quick work of Hayes, who was presumably completely caught off guard. In August, Hawk would return to battle at Final Burns where a six man tag was held that saw the Road Warriors come out victorious when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit. After all of this, Hawk wanted one more measure of revenge in a singles match with Hayes. Hayes accepted the challenge under the stipulation of a lumberjack match.

FPR The Ultimate Encounter 2011 RESULTS (9/17/11)
FPR The Ultimate Encounter
September 17, 2011
Theme Song: Four Year Strong - Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die
PRESTORY: The 2011 Queen's Cup tournament was a spectacular one. Great matches all the way around the tournament with many impressive performances from several competitors. After watching the tournament progress, FPR Management put together an eight woman tag team match with eight of the Queen's Cup's most impressive. Included in those impressive performances were two debuting FPR competitors in Rain and Lexxus. Both women will be on the same side in this match as they team up with recent #1 contender Athena and a woman who made her return in the Queen's Cup after a lenghty absence, MsChif. MsChif was impressive but was upset in the first round by one of the women heading the opposing team here, Nevaeh, who was extremely impressive. Nevaeh teams up with former women's champion Jessica James, Jamilia Craft, and Nikki Roxx to form a team of four for the Ultimate Encounter. This match will not only have rivalries inside of it but also all eight women will be looking to impress fans as the event that follows this is FPR's most interactive event of all time, Cyber Saturday, where the fans votes will determine who competes! The match promises to be an exciting thriller and there's no better way to kick off the Ultimate Encounter 2011!
8 Woman Tag Team Match: Nevaeh, Jessica James, Nikki Roxx,& Jamilia Craft def. Rain, Lexxus, MsChif, & Athena (40:02) when Craft pinned MsChif after Nevaeh used an STO
AFTERSTORY: What a match and performance from all eight women! Excellent display of tag team wrestling from Nevaeh and Jamilia Craft marked the end of the match with MsChif taking the fall. Nevaeh landed an STO in the middle of an in-ring brawl to break up a previous pin attempt and Craft was quick to capitalize. All eight may have earned some votes next month with their performances here. Another item of note was the appearance of the "Angel of Mercy" Claudia at ringside. Claudia has not been seen since losing to Jamilia Craft at WrestleMania but appeared here and seemed to be cheering on her former rival Craft. Jamilia was understandbly bewildered by Claudia's applause during the post-match celebration with her partners. Meanwhile, the opponents regrouped out on the other side, with Rain, Lexxus, and Athena exiting together as MsChif remained regrouping against the rail with a stare back into the ring at the winners. This match was a truly great way to kickoff the Ultimate Encounter as the women's division continues to grow like never before and interest is all around!
PRESTORY: Since losing his match for the Junior Championship at the Great American Bash, Robert Evans has been campaigning for another shot but in order to get it, he must earn it. Last month he was on the losing end of a six man tag and now he has challenged #2 contender to the title, Jiggle-O James Johnson to a one on one singles match. Johnson and Evans' go back a long ways and the challenge was accepted for the Ultimate Encounter. It would be a battle of two of the division's rising stars and top contenders but only one man could come out on top on this night!
Jiggle-O James Johnson def. Robert Evans (17:02) with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY: Jiggle-O picks up a huge victory! Johnson has certainly proved himself as a top contender in the division as of late. While Evans suffers another loss and it looks safe to say he won't be getting the title shot that he has campaigned for anytime soon. It's up to the fans to decide who gets the next junior championship shot and Evans getting his rematch does not seem like a likely outcome. Johnson continues to impress with his outings and especially a victory like this.
PRESTORY: With no contender set for the International Championship and Cyber Saturday coming up very soon, Sting elected to challenge for the championship representing the Muta Alliance. With Kabuki and Muta in other matches, Sting looked to make a huge statement against the dominant giant. Sting hoped to bring the title back to his faction but as we have seen many times in the past, the Big Show is nearly unstoppable.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Sting (12:34) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Sting put up a hell of a fight but couldn't topple the Big Show. Show heads into Cyber Saturday the same way he did last year - as International Champion - and it's up to the fans to determine who gets next shot!
PRESTORY: The women's tag scene is hot right now and with the former champions due for a rematch clause later this night, FPR Management decided upon another tag team bout between two longtime rivals and the first two teams to hold the gold. Marti Belle and Jazz will team up to take on the Beautiful People duo of Madison Rayne and Maryse. TBP seemingly never could defeat Belle and Jazz, who had their number since early this year. They met at WrestleMania in a classic battle. Madison Rayne recently displayed her own skills with an eye-opening performance in the Queen's Cup where she advanced to the third round before being defeated by Sarita. Madison teams back up wtih Maryse now as the team that brought the tag belts to FPR a year ago look to recapture their prominence on the tag scene as we approach the event that the titles debuted on last year in Cyber Saturday. Whomever wins this bout could certainly move further towards a title shot at whichever team comes out of the Ultimate Encounter as the champions.

AFTERSTORY: The Beautiful People just cannot beat Marti Belle and Jazz! Jazz caught them by surprise when she pinned Maryse as Madison was exiting the ring. Rayne was even more irate than usual at the loss as she immediately re-entered the ring, knocked Marti Belle off the apron and begin to attack Jazz. Marti Belle returned to the ring with a steel chair to chase Rayne off and The Beautiful People retreated up the ramp. Later on, we caught up with TBP backstage where Madison Rayne talked about how last year at Cyber Saturday, they forced their way onto the card when they introduced the women's tag team championships which forced a bonus match, but this year she promises they will take over the event - and believes they will have the fans votes. We will find out what goes down when FPR is left in the hands of the audience next month!
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Dr. Death Steve Williams came closer than anyone lately of defeating Bob Sapp in the Octagon. As a result, he was granted one last rematch in an effort to take the title from Sapp heading into Cyber Saturday VI.

Now that Summers is back in action, he has asked for Foxx back in the ring to settle the score. The match was agreed upon and signed for the Ultimate Encounter!
Mike Foxx def. Scot Summers (13:35) via submission

PRESTORY: Last month, Mick Foley was able to reclaim the Hardcore Deathmatch championship with a major victory over Abdullah the Butcher. Abdullah had held a stronghold on the title for many months but Foley was able to knock him off. Abdullah is now out for blood and revenge in his rematch at the Ultimate Encounter. Whoever wins will head into Cyber Saturday as the champion and as we've seen in the past, that is the show with the ability to change everything! Only one of the hardcore legends will emerge from the Deathmatch as champion!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (16:19) with the running elbow drop on a steel chair to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: What a bloody brawl this one was! Abdullah regains the gold in brutal fashion as these two were definitely out to hurt one another. Foley was unable to hold onto the title for long as Abdullah now heads into Cyber Saturday as champion, much like he did last year. Who will be voted into the blood-filled deathmatch environment next?!
PRESTORY: Two former World Champions will collide at the Ultimate Encounter when Triple H takes on The Rock! With Cyber Saturday around the corner, FPR Management made the match to give a showcase to both competitors as they look to grab everyone's attention to earn their votes. A year ago it was the Rock that fans voted into Cyber Saturday's main event to become champion. Rock would later lose the championship to the Game at the end of 2010 and now they will meet again, this time with no titles on the line, to find out who is the better man.
The Rock def. Triple H (29:51) with a rollup
AFTERSTORY: An incredible battle between these two former champions! Both men went back and forth all match as it neared the 30 minute mark. In the end, Rock was able to catch The Game by surprise with a rollup for the three count, finally defeating HHH after H had beat him twice in their previous title bouts. There is no doubt that these two put on one of their best performances to date and impressed everyone in attendance. Both are expected to receive a large amount votes heading into next month's FPR Cyber Saturday VI. After the match was ended, it was clear that both men were spent from the thriller they had just endured. Rock got to his feet and offered his hand to the Game which was accepted. The two shook hands and exchanged words as it's likely it won't be the last time we see them in the ring with one another. The crowd gave a big ovation to both men as they made their exit.
PRESTORY: The war between the Road Warriors and Freebirds has been running for months now. The Road Warriors have seemingly gotten their revenge with a six man tag victory and now Hawk wants his own personal revenge. Hawk challenged Freebirds' leader Michael Hayes to a one on one bout looking to take out the man that injured him in the first place back in June. Hayes accepted the challenge, adding the stipulation that the match would become a lumberjack match! And so the match was set for the Ultimate Encounter..
Lumberjack Match: Michael Hayes def. Hawk (32:15) via submission with a single leg crab
AFTERSTORY: This match tore the house down! These two bitter rivals put on an unexpected showstealer as neither man would stay down. The lumberjacks did their job for the most part as aside from a few scuffles, they kept the action inside the ring. Hawk and Hayes gave literally everything they had. There were piledrivers, powerbombs, brainbusters, and powerslams all over the place. It was a hard-hitting hate filled war without a doubt as these two were clearly looking to injure the other. In the end Hawk's flurry of offense led to him being out of it himself. Hayes used his last effort to capitalize on Hawk's exhaustion and Hawk passed out in Hayes' submission hold. As Hayes was declared the victor, he dropped to the mat and his fellow Freebirds, who were lumberjacks, pulled him from the ring in celebration while Animal and Power Warrior entered from the other side to tend to Hawk. When Hawk regrouped, he was heard telling Animal that this was not over yet. FPR Management is looking at Cyber Saturday as the next chapter in this rivalry between the two teams with the stipulation to be chosen by the fans!
PRESTORY: The Horsemen's ongoing battle with Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle continues. Last month, Brian Pillman shocked many when he pinned Kurt Angle. Pillman impressed everyone watching including Angle himself. This month, it's Hogan vs Flair as the two look to settle the grudge that's been running all year. Hogan and Flair will also look to gain fans votes when it comes to Cyber Saturday and a title shot. Flair looks to keep the Horsemen streak going while Hogan looks to put the Horsemen back in their place like they did at the Great American Bash by taking down the leader.
Ric Flair def. Hulk Hogan (8:48) via Figure Four Leglock CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: The match didn't last long but it was a brawl from the get-go. The ending was a surprise to say the least as Flair attacked Hogan's legs all match and ended up locking on the figure four leglock and the referee stopped the match due to a potential leg injury from Hulk. Flair was declared the winner which stunned the audience. Flair's win puts the Horsemen at two back to back wins following their War Games loss. Needless to say, Flair was riding high after his victory over the Immortal One. The Horsemen are on a roll, how long will it last?
PRESTORY: Last month, Beer Money became #1 contenders for the tag team titles by defeating former multi-time tag champions, LAX. LAX has been on a downswing as of late and Beer Money are quick to take advantage. The Midnight Express have proven dominant with their wins over the Muta Alliance in the last several months, not to mention their Real World Tag League victory that led to the titles win. Now the Midnights defend against Beer Money. Beer Money have a huge chance here but the Midnights are one of the toughest teams in FPR. Only one team can head into Cyber Saturday as the defending champions!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Beer Money Inc. (16:25) when Eaton pinned Roode to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Beer Money controlled much of the match but out of nowhere, the Midnights pulled out the victory. It was a sudden change of pace and then the match was over just like that. Beer Money proved they belonged and will likely be back for another shot at some point. For now though, the Midnight Express carry the belts into Cyber Saturday where the fans will choose their next opponents!
PRESTORY: At Redemption, Hayabusa retained his junior championship over then-#1 contender Julian Caesaro in a back and forth bout. Caesaro worked hard to earn another title shot and at the Great American Bash, he defeated his friend Jiggle-O James Johnson in a 30 minute classic. Hayabusa continued to defeat his title challengers each month. At Final Burns last month, Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Johnson defeated Robert Evans, Christopher Daniels, and Matt Palmer in a six man tag match. Following the win, Julian made it known that he wanted another shot at the junior title, feeling as though he earned a shot. Hayabusa though wanted other competition since he had defeated Caesaro in the past. FPR Management took everything into consideration and scheduled a non-title bout between the two. Caesaro would have his chance to defeat Hayabusa and prove to everyone that he should have the next title shot while Hayabusa would have his chance to prove he wouldn't need to defend it against Caesaro again. The match was set and with the title not on the line, it guarantees the fans will choose Hayabusa's next challenger for the title.
Non-Title Match: Julian Caesaro def. Hayabusa (13:01) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: Julian Caesaro proved without a doubt that he does deserve another shot at the FPR Junior Championship! For months, no one has been able to defeat Hayabusa but here Caesaro was able to catch him with a backslide for the three count. The title was not on the line this time so Hayabusa will remain champion as he heads into Cyber Saturday where the fans will decide who gets the very next shot!
PRESTORY: Last month's Final Burns saw the Canadian Ninjas finally accomplish what they came to FPR to do, win the FPR Women's Tag Team Championships. Most didn't think the Ninjas had a shot against the dominant champions but they pulled off the upset in a thrilling contest. Now the Midwest Militia, Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay, are coming for their rematch and they want the titles back. Portia and Nicole won't give up easy and the match will surely be another must-see encounter!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: The Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews) def. Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok (23:10) when Portia pinned Kay after a wrap around DDT to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The Canadian Ninjas' victory was no fluke! Many doubted that Portia and Nicole could defeat Havok & Kay a second time but they managed to do it against all odds. Portia was able to catch Allysin with a surprise DDT that scored the three. Jessicka & Allysin were in disbelief as Portia & Nicole once again left with the gold. Now, the Canadian Ninjas will take the women's tag team championships into Cyber Saturday, where they debuted to compete for the titles last year, and for the first time the fans will decide who gets the title shot!
PRESTORY: Daizee Haze and Sara Del Rey's war has waged on and on and only gotten more heated. Things escalated when Del Rey put Daizee's friend Serena Deeb out with an injury last month. Then came the Queen's Cup which both women entered to win. Daizee, who the tournament last year, dedicated this year to the injured Serena. Daizee would end up past round 1 however in round 2, Sara Del Rey would make her presence felt and cost Daizee her match against Madison Eagles. Del Rey got her rival out of the tournament but her plan backfired when Daizee returned the favor for Del Rey's second round match against Ayako Hamada. These two have had one hell of a rivalry and after what transpired there, FPR Management signed a match between the two at the Ultimate Encounter, this time two out of three falls!
2/3 Falls Match: Sara Del Rey def. Daizee Haze (23:11) 2 falls to 0
*Del Rey pinned Daizee with a northern lights suplex (18:03)
*Del Rey pinned Daizee after a german suplex (5:08)
AFTERSTORY: Finally, Sara Del Rey has defeated Daizee Haze for the first time in FPR. These two have had a rivalry for nearly a year and Daizee seemed to always get the better of Del Rey and here the tables turned. Del Rey not only pinned Daizee but pinned her twice in two consecutive falls. Sara has seemed to unleash even more of a mean streak ever since losing at the Great American Bash. Despite defeating Daizee decisively, Sara wasn't through with her yet. Del Rey put the boots to Daizee on the mat some more after her victory. Sara then brought Daizee to her feet and hooked her arms for the Royal Butterfly, however Serena Deeb was able to make her return just in time! Sara decided to leave the ring as Serena, looking fully recovered from her injury, helped Daizee in the ring. Serena and Sara exchanged words as Del Rey slowly began up the ramp. Serena helped Daizee to her feet and stared down Del Rey from the ring. FPR Management went to work on signing a match between these two which is expected to take place next month at Cyber Saturday with the fans selecting the stipulation!
PRESTORY: After The Undertaker was taken out by everyone Drew McIntyre sent after him, last month, the Undertaker came out with a vengeance and took down Drew McIntyre. Drew went in looking to finish off Taker for good but Taker capitalized quickly on Drew's first mistake and planted him with the Last Ride. Drew was fuming after the match and could not believe he had been beaten for the third time by the Undertaker, after he had Kabuki and Mr. Hughes both do severe damage to Taker in the months prior. As a result, Drew has decided he would team up with Kabuki and Hughes to challenge Undertaker and anyone that he brought with him for a six man tag team encounter! Drew will do whatever it takes to defeat the Undertaker but that has proven to be no easy task. Taker will be at the Ultimate Encounter to take on the three men that have all tried to take him out over the summer. When the time came for the match, as would be expected Kane returned to his brother's side, but that wasn't all as the mind games continued when Undertaker and Kane were followed out by a lookalike of Sting! Not the same Sting we saw earlier in the night, but it still could throw the Great Kabuki off his game completely.
6 Man Tag Team Match: Drew McIntyre, The Great Kabuki, & Mr. Hughes def. The Undertaker, Kane, & "Sting" (18:04) when McIntyre pinned "Sting" with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Drew was able to score the major pinfall victory! The match was a total brawl and while it wasn't the Undertaker that Drew pinned, he was still riding high in celebration. Drew would waste no time in getting the mic and issuing a challenge to the Undertaker! Drew declared that they will finish this once and for all at Cyber Saturday as they face off one on one! This will be leading the stipulation into the hands of the FPR fans to determine which match type these two longtime rivals will face off in at the big event!
PRESTORY: The Queen's Cup 2011 was an excellent display of the fantastic women superstars of FPR as the tournament always is. Great matches all the way around the tournament and there were plenty of stories heading into the tournament with everyone having the motivation to win. The tournament saw debuts, returns, and several impressive runs. On the first side of the bracket, Madison Eagles entered the Queen's Cup with a promise back in July that she would win the Queen's Cup to prove herself worthy of another title shot against Victoria. Eagles felt she only lost to Victoria due to a fluke and used it as her motivation. Eagles was as impressive as ever as she marched through the Queen's Cup and in the semi-finals scored one of her biggest victories over Ayako Hamada. Eagles staked her claim and moved on to the finals which take place at The Ultimate Encounter. On the other side, we witnessed the breakthrough performance of Jessie McKay. Jessie overcame all of her opponents en route to the finals and capped it off with an extremely impressive semi-final victory over Sarita. Now the Queen's Cup finals were set and it's become one of the most anticipated matches. Madison Eagles vs Jessie McKay, the two have a storied history and now would bring it to FPR. A battle of the two Austrailia natives with only one emerging on the Queen's Cup throne!
Queen's Cup Finals: Madison Eagles def. Jessie McKay (11:45) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: The Punisher has done it! Madison Eagles promised in late July that she would win the Queen's Cup in order to prove herself worthy of another title shot. Eagles was able to defeat "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend", Jessie McKay in a competitive back and forth finals which concluded a very exciting tournament. During Eagles' celebration and coronation, she grabbed the mic and stated that if Victoria was in the building, she would challenge her for the title right then and win the championship. With Victoria not there, Eagles will have the right to a shot at the title in the near future. The fans choose the next challenger for the women's championship at Cyber Saturday!
PRESTORY: Last month, Randy Orton's destiny became a reality when he became World Heavyweight Champion. A title shot that he won by defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin for his originally earned shot. Orton laid out Terry Funk with the RKO to claim the title. Prior to that, Funk had won the gold from the Great Muta at the Great American Bash. The ending of Final Burns was chaotic as Stone Cold wanted a piece of Orton, Muta got involved, but what mattered in the end was that Orton was champion. Everyone had claims to a title shot it seemed. Austin claimed Orton stole his shot, Muta and Funk both felt owed rematches. FPR Management decided to give everyone a fair shot with the Ultimate Four Way elimination bout! Orton would defend his title against all three former champions, Funk, Austin, and Muta! Orton wasn't happy but vowed to prove himself worthy of the championship while the three challengers were all satisfied with the decision. Only one of the four men can take the title into the big event that is FPR Cyber Saturday next month where then the fans will decide who gets the title shot. Without a doubt, this main event would be The Ultimate Encounter!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk, The Great Muta, & Stone Cold Steve Austin (19:01) to RETAIN the championship!!
*Orton eliminated Austin (17:08) after a swinging neckbreaker
*Orton eliminated Funk (18:40) via RKO CRITICAL!
*Orton eliminated Muta (19:01) after an inverted neckbreaker
AFTERSTORY: What an unbelievable performance from Randy Orton! Orton proved all his critics wrong and defeated all of his opponents with his own eliminations! Everyone was stunned when Orton eliminated Steve Austin first. Austin may have let his anger get the best of him and Orton was quick to capitalize. Austin rolled out of the ring after his elimination and used the guard rail to get back to his feet. When Austin got back to his feet, the masked man that intervened in his match at the Great American Bash appeared in the crowd! However, Austin was able to duck his strike and pulled him over the rail. Austin beat him up and then removed his mask to reveal Bob Orton Jr.! Bob had not been seen since late last year and it appears he had been trying to help Randy Orton as was the case at the Bash. As the action in the ring continued, Austin beatdown Bob on the outside until he was blasted by a chairshot from a second masked man in the audience! This second masked man removed his own mask to reveal Chris Jericho!! Jericho has not been seen at all since Austin ended his career over a year ago. Soon after, security went after Jericho as he bolted from the scene. When the focus shifted back to the in-ring action, Orton once again laid out Terry Funk with a deadly RKO that took him out of the match. From there it was down to Orton and Muta and in the end Orton was able to pick up the win, eliminating all three challengers on his own. One thing is for certain and that is Randy Orton is undoubtedly the undisputed Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Now, Randy Orton will take that championship into the most unpredictable event of them all next month, Cyber Saturday! Who will the fans choose to receive the prestigious title shot? The sixth annual installment of the event promises to be a wild one with all titles on the line, major rivalries being settled, and much more!

September 17, 2011
Theme Song: Four Year Strong - Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die
PRESTORY: The 2011 Queen's Cup tournament was a spectacular one. Great matches all the way around the tournament with many impressive performances from several competitors. After watching the tournament progress, FPR Management put together an eight woman tag team match with eight of the Queen's Cup's most impressive. Included in those impressive performances were two debuting FPR competitors in Rain and Lexxus. Both women will be on the same side in this match as they team up with recent #1 contender Athena and a woman who made her return in the Queen's Cup after a lenghty absence, MsChif. MsChif was impressive but was upset in the first round by one of the women heading the opposing team here, Nevaeh, who was extremely impressive. Nevaeh teams up with former women's champion Jessica James, Jamilia Craft, and Nikki Roxx to form a team of four for the Ultimate Encounter. This match will not only have rivalries inside of it but also all eight women will be looking to impress fans as the event that follows this is FPR's most interactive event of all time, Cyber Saturday, where the fans votes will determine who competes! The match promises to be an exciting thriller and there's no better way to kick off the Ultimate Encounter 2011!
8 Woman Tag Team Match: Nevaeh, Jessica James, Nikki Roxx,& Jamilia Craft def. Rain, Lexxus, MsChif, & Athena (40:02) when Craft pinned MsChif after Nevaeh used an STO
AFTERSTORY: What a match and performance from all eight women! Excellent display of tag team wrestling from Nevaeh and Jamilia Craft marked the end of the match with MsChif taking the fall. Nevaeh landed an STO in the middle of an in-ring brawl to break up a previous pin attempt and Craft was quick to capitalize. All eight may have earned some votes next month with their performances here. Another item of note was the appearance of the "Angel of Mercy" Claudia at ringside. Claudia has not been seen since losing to Jamilia Craft at WrestleMania but appeared here and seemed to be cheering on her former rival Craft. Jamilia was understandbly bewildered by Claudia's applause during the post-match celebration with her partners. Meanwhile, the opponents regrouped out on the other side, with Rain, Lexxus, and Athena exiting together as MsChif remained regrouping against the rail with a stare back into the ring at the winners. This match was a truly great way to kickoff the Ultimate Encounter as the women's division continues to grow like never before and interest is all around!
PRESTORY: Since losing his match for the Junior Championship at the Great American Bash, Robert Evans has been campaigning for another shot but in order to get it, he must earn it. Last month he was on the losing end of a six man tag and now he has challenged #2 contender to the title, Jiggle-O James Johnson to a one on one singles match. Johnson and Evans' go back a long ways and the challenge was accepted for the Ultimate Encounter. It would be a battle of two of the division's rising stars and top contenders but only one man could come out on top on this night!
Jiggle-O James Johnson def. Robert Evans (17:02) with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY: Jiggle-O picks up a huge victory! Johnson has certainly proved himself as a top contender in the division as of late. While Evans suffers another loss and it looks safe to say he won't be getting the title shot that he has campaigned for anytime soon. It's up to the fans to decide who gets the next junior championship shot and Evans getting his rematch does not seem like a likely outcome. Johnson continues to impress with his outings and especially a victory like this.
PRESTORY: With no contender set for the International Championship and Cyber Saturday coming up very soon, Sting elected to challenge for the championship representing the Muta Alliance. With Kabuki and Muta in other matches, Sting looked to make a huge statement against the dominant giant. Sting hoped to bring the title back to his faction but as we have seen many times in the past, the Big Show is nearly unstoppable.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Sting (12:34) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Sting put up a hell of a fight but couldn't topple the Big Show. Show heads into Cyber Saturday the same way he did last year - as International Champion - and it's up to the fans to determine who gets next shot!
PRESTORY: The women's tag scene is hot right now and with the former champions due for a rematch clause later this night, FPR Management decided upon another tag team bout between two longtime rivals and the first two teams to hold the gold. Marti Belle and Jazz will team up to take on the Beautiful People duo of Madison Rayne and Maryse. TBP seemingly never could defeat Belle and Jazz, who had their number since early this year. They met at WrestleMania in a classic battle. Madison Rayne recently displayed her own skills with an eye-opening performance in the Queen's Cup where she advanced to the third round before being defeated by Sarita. Madison teams back up wtih Maryse now as the team that brought the tag belts to FPR a year ago look to recapture their prominence on the tag scene as we approach the event that the titles debuted on last year in Cyber Saturday. Whomever wins this bout could certainly move further towards a title shot at whichever team comes out of the Ultimate Encounter as the champions.

With Cyber Saturday around the corner, FPR Management made the match to give a showcase to both competitors as they look to grab everyone's attention to earn their votes.

The Road Warriors have seemingly gotten their revenge with a six man tag victory and now Hawk wants his own personal revenge. Hawk challenged Freebirds' leader Michael Hayes to a one on one bout looking to take out the man that injured him in the first place back in June.

Lumberjack Match: Michael Hayes def. Hawk (32:15) via submission with a single leg crab
AFTERSTORY: This match tore the house down! These two bitter rivals put on an unexpected showstealer as neither man would stay down. The lumberjacks did their job for the most part as aside from a few scuffles, they kept the action inside the ring. Hawk and Hayes gave literally everything they had. There were piledrivers, powerbombs, brainbusters, and powerslams all over the place. It was a hard-hitting hate filled war without a doubt as these two were clearly looking to injure the other. In the end Hawk's flurry of offense led to him being out of it himself. Hayes used his last effort to capitalize on Hawk's exhaustion and Hawk passed out in Hayes' submission hold.

AFTERSTORY: The match didn't last long but it was a brawl from the get-go. The ending was a surprise to say the least as Flair attacked Hogan's legs all match and ended up locking on the figure four leglock and the referee stopped the match due to a potential leg injury from Hulk. Flair was declared the winner which stunned the audience. Flair's win puts the Horsemen at two back to back wins following their War Games loss. Needless to say, Flair was riding high after his victory over the Immortal One. The Horsemen are on a roll, how long will it last?
PRESTORY: Last month, Beer Money became #1 contenders for the tag team titles by defeating former multi-time tag champions, LAX. LAX has been on a downswing as of late and Beer Money are quick to take advantage. The Midnight Express have proven dominant with their wins over the Muta Alliance in the last several months, not to mention their Real World Tag League victory that led to the titles win. Now the Midnights defend against Beer Money. Beer Money have a huge chance here but the Midnights are one of the toughest teams in FPR. Only one team can head into Cyber Saturday as the defending champions!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Beer Money Inc. (16:25) when Eaton pinned Roode to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Beer Money controlled much of the match but out of nowhere, the Midnights pulled out the victory. It was a sudden change of pace and then the match was over just like that. Beer Money proved they belonged and will likely be back for another shot at some point. For now though, the Midnight Express carry the belts into Cyber Saturday where the fans will choose their next opponents!
PRESTORY: At Redemption, Hayabusa retained his junior championship over then-#1 contender Julian Caesaro in a back and forth bout. Caesaro worked hard to earn another title shot and at the Great American Bash, he defeated his friend Jiggle-O James Johnson in a 30 minute classic. Hayabusa continued to defeat his title challengers each month. At Final Burns last month, Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Johnson defeated Robert Evans, Christopher Daniels, and Matt Palmer in a six man tag match. Following the win, Julian made it known that he wanted another shot at the junior title, feeling as though he earned a shot. Hayabusa though wanted other competition since he had defeated Caesaro in the past. FPR Management took everything into consideration and scheduled a non-title bout between the two. Caesaro would have his chance to defeat Hayabusa and prove to everyone that he should have the next title shot while Hayabusa would have his chance to prove he wouldn't need to defend it against Caesaro again. The match was set and with the title not on the line, it guarantees the fans will choose Hayabusa's next challenger for the title.
Non-Title Match: Julian Caesaro def. Hayabusa (13:01) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: Julian Caesaro proved without a doubt that he does deserve another shot at the FPR Junior Championship! For months, no one has been able to defeat Hayabusa but here Caesaro was able to catch him with a backslide for the three count. The title was not on the line this time so Hayabusa will remain champion as he heads into Cyber Saturday where the fans will decide who gets the very next shot!
PRESTORY: Last month's Final Burns saw the Canadian Ninjas finally accomplish what they came to FPR to do, win the FPR Women's Tag Team Championships. Most didn't think the Ninjas had a shot against the dominant champions but they pulled off the upset in a thrilling contest. Now the Midwest Militia, Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay, are coming for their rematch and they want the titles back. Portia and Nicole won't give up easy and the match will surely be another must-see encounter!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: The Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews) def. Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok (23:10) when Portia pinned Kay after a wrap around DDT to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The Canadian Ninjas' victory was no fluke! Many doubted that Portia and Nicole could defeat Havok & Kay a second time but they managed to do it against all odds. Portia was able to catch Allysin with a surprise DDT that scored the three. Jessicka & Allysin were in disbelief as Portia & Nicole once again left with the gold. Now, the Canadian Ninjas will take the women's tag team championships into Cyber Saturday, where they debuted to compete for the titles last year, and for the first time the fans will decide who gets the title shot!
PRESTORY: Daizee Haze and Sara Del Rey's war has waged on and on and only gotten more heated. Things escalated when Del Rey put Daizee's friend Serena Deeb out with an injury last month. Then came the Queen's Cup which both women entered to win. Daizee, who the tournament last year, dedicated this year to the injured Serena. Daizee would end up past round 1 however in round 2, Sara Del Rey would make her presence felt and cost Daizee her match against Madison Eagles. Del Rey got her rival out of the tournament but her plan backfired when Daizee returned the favor for Del Rey's second round match against Ayako Hamada. These two have had one hell of a rivalry and after what transpired there, FPR Management signed a match between the two at the Ultimate Encounter, this time two out of three falls!
2/3 Falls Match: Sara Del Rey def. Daizee Haze (23:11) 2 falls to 0
*Del Rey pinned Daizee with a northern lights suplex (18:03)
*Del Rey pinned Daizee after a german suplex (5:08)
AFTERSTORY: Finally, Sara Del Rey has defeated Daizee Haze for the first time in FPR. These two have had a rivalry for nearly a year and Daizee seemed to always get the better of Del Rey and here the tables turned. Del Rey not only pinned Daizee but pinned her twice in two consecutive falls. Sara has seemed to unleash even more of a mean streak ever since losing at the Great American Bash. Despite defeating Daizee decisively, Sara wasn't through with her yet. Del Rey put the boots to Daizee on the mat some more after her victory. Sara then brought Daizee to her feet and hooked her arms for the Royal Butterfly, however Serena Deeb was able to make her return just in time! Sara decided to leave the ring as Serena, looking fully recovered from her injury, helped Daizee in the ring. Serena and Sara exchanged words as Del Rey slowly began up the ramp. Serena helped Daizee to her feet and stared down Del Rey from the ring. FPR Management went to work on signing a match between these two which is expected to take place next month at Cyber Saturday with the fans selecting the stipulation!
PRESTORY: After The Undertaker was taken out by everyone Drew McIntyre sent after him, last month, the Undertaker came out with a vengeance and took down Drew McIntyre. Drew went in looking to finish off Taker for good but Taker capitalized quickly on Drew's first mistake and planted him with the Last Ride. Drew was fuming after the match and could not believe he had been beaten for the third time by the Undertaker, after he had Kabuki and Mr. Hughes both do severe damage to Taker in the months prior. As a result, Drew has decided he would team up with Kabuki and Hughes to challenge Undertaker and anyone that he brought with him for a six man tag team encounter! Drew will do whatever it takes to defeat the Undertaker but that has proven to be no easy task. Taker will be at the Ultimate Encounter to take on the three men that have all tried to take him out over the summer. When the time came for the match, as would be expected Kane returned to his brother's side, but that wasn't all as the mind games continued when Undertaker and Kane were followed out by a lookalike of Sting! Not the same Sting we saw earlier in the night, but it still could throw the Great Kabuki off his game completely.
6 Man Tag Team Match: Drew McIntyre, The Great Kabuki, & Mr. Hughes def. The Undertaker, Kane, & "Sting" (18:04) when McIntyre pinned "Sting" with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Drew was able to score the major pinfall victory! The match was a total brawl and while it wasn't the Undertaker that Drew pinned, he was still riding high in celebration. Drew would waste no time in getting the mic and issuing a challenge to the Undertaker! Drew declared that they will finish this once and for all at Cyber Saturday as they face off one on one! This will be leading the stipulation into the hands of the FPR fans to determine which match type these two longtime rivals will face off in at the big event!
PRESTORY: The Queen's Cup 2011 was an excellent display of the fantastic women superstars of FPR as the tournament always is. Great matches all the way around the tournament and there were plenty of stories heading into the tournament with everyone having the motivation to win. The tournament saw debuts, returns, and several impressive runs. On the first side of the bracket, Madison Eagles entered the Queen's Cup with a promise back in July that she would win the Queen's Cup to prove herself worthy of another title shot against Victoria. Eagles felt she only lost to Victoria due to a fluke and used it as her motivation. Eagles was as impressive as ever as she marched through the Queen's Cup and in the semi-finals scored one of her biggest victories over Ayako Hamada. Eagles staked her claim and moved on to the finals which take place at The Ultimate Encounter. On the other side, we witnessed the breakthrough performance of Jessie McKay. Jessie overcame all of her opponents en route to the finals and capped it off with an extremely impressive semi-final victory over Sarita. Now the Queen's Cup finals were set and it's become one of the most anticipated matches. Madison Eagles vs Jessie McKay, the two have a storied history and now would bring it to FPR. A battle of the two Austrailia natives with only one emerging on the Queen's Cup throne!
Queen's Cup Finals: Madison Eagles def. Jessie McKay (11:45) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: The Punisher has done it! Madison Eagles promised in late July that she would win the Queen's Cup in order to prove herself worthy of another title shot. Eagles was able to defeat "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend", Jessie McKay in a competitive back and forth finals which concluded a very exciting tournament. During Eagles' celebration and coronation, she grabbed the mic and stated that if Victoria was in the building, she would challenge her for the title right then and win the championship. With Victoria not there, Eagles will have the right to a shot at the title in the near future. The fans choose the next challenger for the women's championship at Cyber Saturday!
PRESTORY: Last month, Randy Orton's destiny became a reality when he became World Heavyweight Champion. A title shot that he won by defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin for his originally earned shot. Orton laid out Terry Funk with the RKO to claim the title. Prior to that, Funk had won the gold from the Great Muta at the Great American Bash. The ending of Final Burns was chaotic as Stone Cold wanted a piece of Orton, Muta got involved, but what mattered in the end was that Orton was champion. Everyone had claims to a title shot it seemed. Austin claimed Orton stole his shot, Muta and Funk both felt owed rematches. FPR Management decided to give everyone a fair shot with the Ultimate Four Way elimination bout! Orton would defend his title against all three former champions, Funk, Austin, and Muta! Orton wasn't happy but vowed to prove himself worthy of the championship while the three challengers were all satisfied with the decision. Only one of the four men can take the title into the big event that is FPR Cyber Saturday next month where then the fans will decide who gets the title shot. Without a doubt, this main event would be The Ultimate Encounter!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk, The Great Muta, & Stone Cold Steve Austin (19:01) to RETAIN the championship!!
*Orton eliminated Austin (17:08) after a swinging neckbreaker
*Orton eliminated Funk (18:40) via RKO CRITICAL!
*Orton eliminated Muta (19:01) after an inverted neckbreaker
AFTERSTORY: What an unbelievable performance from Randy Orton! Orton proved all his critics wrong and defeated all of his opponents with his own eliminations! Everyone was stunned when Orton eliminated Steve Austin first. Austin may have let his anger get the best of him and Orton was quick to capitalize. Austin rolled out of the ring after his elimination and used the guard rail to get back to his feet. When Austin got back to his feet, the masked man that intervened in his match at the Great American Bash appeared in the crowd! However, Austin was able to duck his strike and pulled him over the rail. Austin beat him up and then removed his mask to reveal Bob Orton Jr.! Bob had not been seen since late last year and it appears he had been trying to help Randy Orton as was the case at the Bash. As the action in the ring continued, Austin beatdown Bob on the outside until he was blasted by a chairshot from a second masked man in the audience! This second masked man removed his own mask to reveal Chris Jericho!! Jericho has not been seen at all since Austin ended his career over a year ago. Soon after, security went after Jericho as he bolted from the scene. When the focus shifted back to the in-ring action, Orton once again laid out Terry Funk with a deadly RKO that took him out of the match. From there it was down to Orton and Muta and in the end Orton was able to pick up the win, eliminating all three challengers on his own. One thing is for certain and that is Randy Orton is undoubtedly the undisputed Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Now, Randy Orton will take that championship into the most unpredictable event of them all next month, Cyber Saturday! Who will the fans choose to receive the prestigious title shot? The sixth annual installment of the event promises to be a wild one with all titles on the line, major rivalries being settled, and much more!

FPR Final Burns 2011 Results! (8/27/11)
FPR Final Burns
August 27, 2011
Theme Song: Within Temptation - "Faster"
PRESTORY: The history between the Road Warriors and Freebirds over the past few months is well-documented at this point. Last month, things took a turn when the Road Warriors introduced the debuting Power Warrior to take out Michael Hayes. Animal made it clear last month that they weren't done with the Freebirds by a long shot and after the successful debut of the Power Warrior, a six-man tag team match was made that would pit Hawk, Animal, and the Power Warrior against the tandem of Hayes & Garvin joined by their ally, Buddy Roberts. The rivalry between these teams has been intense so this promised to be a chaotic brawl!
6 Man Tag Team Match: The Road Warriors (Hawk, Animal, & Power Warrior) def. The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, & Buddy Roberts) (27:54) when Power Warrior forced Garvin to submit to the Power Special
AFTERSTORY: The mayhem was at a high point in this one as Power Warrior pulls through again for a Road Warrior victory over the Freebirds! Both teams brought their best as they fought hard for the win but in the end it was Jimmy Garvin being forced to submit to the Power Special. The crowd was roaring in approval as the Road Warriors stood tall for the post-match celebration, all three with their arms raised in the air in the center of the ring. Time will tell if we've seen the end of this rivalry but it is likely that the Road Warriors' thirst for revenge is not yet fulfilled and the Freebirds are still out to prove that they are the better team.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Wanderlei Silva via 2nd Round KO (0:36) after a short-arm clothesline to RETAIN the championship (5:36)
PRESTORY: Since losing the tag team championships at Bloodlines to the Midnight Express, the Latin American Xchange have been on a downward spiral of sorts. Capped off by a shocking first round elimination in the Summer Spectacular tournament to the Horsemen, LAX are now going back to their first of three losses. In the Real World Tag League block tiebreaker, Beer Money Inc defeated the then-champions LAX. Since they aren't challenging for the titles again yet, LAX challenged Beer Money and they look to avenge their defeat from several months ago. Beer Money accepted the challenge and hope to overcome the long-time dominant team and stake their claim for a future title shot.
Beer Money Inc. def. The Latin American XChange (17:45) when Roode pinned Homicide after Storm used a low blow
AFTERSTORY: An absolutely huge win for Beer Money! Using something straight out of LAX's playbook, Roode and Storm managed to overcome the former six time tag team champions and one of the most dominant teams of the last several years. As a result of their win, it has been confirmed that Beer Money will be named the number one contenders to the tag team titles and will face the champions at The Ultimate Encounter! Meanwhile, LAX continue their surprising downfall as of late with no end in sight.
PRESTORY: Last month, John Cena scored a big victory in a fatal four way over three top contenders as part of the fallout of the Road to GAB. Cena has his eyes set on challenging for the World Title but with that spot not open at the moment, Cena decided to try his luck at another championship - the International title. The Big Show has had a dominant stronghold for the better part of the past two years on the gold but Cena is looking to take it. In what is sure to be a tough challenge for Show, Cena challenges him at Final Burns!
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. John Cena (14:01) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Cena came close - very close - but it just wasn't enough to topple the Giant. Big Show has proven near unstoppable for the past two years and it remains to be seen just who can stop him.
PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Daizee Haze revealed her mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena's debut was a surprise to many including their opponents that night, Sara Del Rey & Amazing Kong. Serena would end up getting the pin for her team following a belly to belly suplex on Kong. Sara Del Rey was none too pleased with her increasing inability to get some kind of win over Haze and now in response, Sara has challenged Serena to a singles match. Sara looks to squash the buzz surrounding Serena's debut while Serena will be looking to continue on her roll. The match will also prove to be sort of a preview of the upcoming 3rd annual Queen's Cup tournament that will take place in the week that follows Final Burns!
Sara Del Rey def. Serena Deeb (7:09) via Royal Butterfly CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Sara Del Rey has made a statement! Del Rey came out with a fire in her eyes in a brutal onslaught of offense. Serena tried to battle back but Sara caught her with a vicious Royal Butterfly that rendered Serena in no shape to continue. Sara's victory was a huge boost for her but not only that, it has also caused huge reprecussions in the Queen's Cup tournament as Serena Deeb will now be unable to compete. We have received an official word update that Serena suffered an injury that took her out of the upcoming tournament. So to say Del Rey was out for revenge would be an understatement, she was out for blood on this night. After the bout was declared over, Daizee Haze made her way to the ring to check on her fallen friend. It is believed that Serena's injuries will not be too severe but she was stretchered out of the ring for her safety. Daizee has since promised to repeat what she did last year and win the Queen's Cup again, this time dedicating her performance to Serena.
PRESTORY: Abdullah the Butcher has taken on all comers since regaining the Hardcore Deathmatch championship at WrestleMania. This month, Mick Foley returns to the hardcore deathmatch ring and challenges Abdullah for the gold! Ironically enough, this match is actually a rematch from last year's Final Burns.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Mick Foley def. Abdullah the Butcher (13:44) after a piledriver on a barbed-wire bat to become the NEW Champion!
AFTERSTORY: Foley with a huge victory, avenging his loss to Abdullah a year ago and also capturing the Hardcore Deathmatch championship for the second time. Abdullah had been taking out everyone since winning the gold but Foley was able to put down the Butcher. Abdullah will be coming for his rematch at the Ultimate Encounter as only one will be able to carry the title into October, one of FPR's most popular times of the year. Abdullah was champion at that time last year but Foley will look to keep hold of the title.
PRESTORY: Last month at the Great American Bash, friends collided in a thrilling battle when Julian Caesaro pinned Jiggle-O James Johnson after a 30 minute contest. While Hayabusa disposed yet another challenger in #1 contender Robert Evans to retain the Junior Championship. Evans believes he can defeat Hayabusa with another chance while Caesaro is looked at as the top contender following his victory in last month's match of the year candidate. For Final Burns it was signed that Hayabusa, Caesaro, and Jiggle-O would team up for a six man tag team bout against Evans, Matt Palmer, and former champion Christopher Daniels.
6 Man Tag Team Match: Hayabusa, Julian Caesaro, & Jiggle-O James Johnson def. Robert Evans, Matt Palmer, & Christopher Daniels (23:26) when Hayabusa pinned Daniels with the Falcon Arrow
AFTERSTORY: Hayabusa pins Daniels in an impressive six man tag that all involved looked to make an impact. Following the match, it seemed as though there were arguments abound. Julian Caesaro motioned to Hayabusa that he would be coming for the Junior championship as he believes he's earned another shot. However, Hayabusa feels that since he has already defeated Caesaro, he can move on to other challengers. On the other side, Evans and Palmer blame Daniels for their loss as he is the one that took the pinfall. Daniels poked fun at Evans for being the one of the three that never held the junior title which made Evans want another shot even more though he'll have to earn it. FPR Management is working on a settlement to the dispute between Caesaro and Hayabusa as it pertains to the junior championship.
PRESTORY: The Great American Bash ended last month with a site of victory. America's Team overcame the Four Horsemen in War Games emerging triumphant from a hellacious battle. However, the Horsemen are not giving up easy. Ric Flair has personally selected Brian Pillman to challenge Kurt Angle one on one. Angle accepted the challenge and the match was set for Final Burns!
Brian Pillman def. Kurt Angle (18:13) with a small package
AFTERSTORY: An absolutely huge victory for Pillman as well as the Horsemen and one many would consider a major upset! Pillman pins Angle one on one and perhaps most surprisingly of all, he did it clean without the help of any Horsemen. A hard fought battle between these two went for 18 minutes before Pillman caught Angle by surprise with a small package. After the match, Angle was visibly shocked and upset at the loss and as the two returned to their feet, Angle offered his hand to his opponent in a show of respect. Pillman hesitated but seemed to consider the handshake before ducking out of the ring instead. Angle was left in the ring, disappointed as a conflicted Pillman headed backstage.
PRESTORY: It was a fast-paced brawl with an out of nowhere finish at the Great American Bash as the Midnight Express retained their titles over The Great Kabuki & Sting of the Muta Alilance. Following the show, The Great Muta demanded that his team be granted another shot at the titles, citing their impressive performance in winning the Summer Spectacular tournament as reason enough for them to get another shot. FPR Management agreed to give Sting and Kabuki one more shot at the Midnights to take place at Final Burns!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Sting & The Great Kabuki (18:38) when Eaton pinned Sting after a piledriver to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: There's no doubt to it, The Midnight Express defeated the Muta Alliance a second time and did so decisively without question. Sting and Kabuki brought the fight to the champions but it was once again a piledriver from Bobby Eaton that spelled the end. The Midnights will now ride into the Ultimate Encounter where they will defend the championships against Beer Money Inc.!
PRESTORY: Two men that were both on the losing side of things last month were the Great Muta and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Muta lost the world championship while Austin lost his shot at the title. Muta plans to still receive his rematch as soon as the opportunity opens up while Austin is hell bent on earning another shot at the title. As a result of both men's position, a match was made between the two top contenders for Final Burns. Regardless of the outcome, the match would have a major impact on the World Title picture.
The Great Muta def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (13:39) with the Moonsault
AFTERSTORY: Muta picks up one of his most impressive victories as he pins Stone Cold and cleanly at that! Austin is seen as one of the absolute toughest men to defeat but his anger over what took place last month may have gotten the best of him. Muta has proven without a doubt that he wants the world title back. Muta left the ring with the victory and would surely be watching the main event later on.
PRESTORY: Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay have been running roughshod over the women's tag team division since debuting after WrestleMania. They've defeated every team that's come their way so far and now the Canadian Ninjas have elected to stand up and challenge the champions. The champs were quick to accept and are eagerly awaiting the challenge. Can the Ninjas be enough to stop the momentum or will Havok & Kay keep on rolling? We will find out at Final Burns!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: The Canadian Ninjas def. Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay (26:08) when Nicole pinned Havok with a northern lights suplex to become the NEW Champions!!!
AFTERSTORY: Nobody saw it coming but the Canadian Ninjas have pulled it off! A massive upset as Havok and Kay were dominating with the titles but the Ninjas managed to hang on and come away with the victory. Despite not having the best of luck in their previous PPV bouts, Portia and Nicole have captured the gold that they came for ten months since their debut! Allysin and Jessicka will receive their rematch at the Ultimate Encounter where only one team will be able to emerge victorious heading into October where a year ago these titles were created. Also announced for the Ultimate Encounter is a match between two longtime tag team rivals when the Beautiful People take on Marti Belle and Jazz in a battle of former tag champions! The women's tag scene is continuing to grow in FPR.
PRESTORY: For the last several months, we have witnessed a rollercoaster ride in the rivalry of Drew McIntyre and the Undertaker. Drew pushed Taker to the limit in the King of the Ring tournament but could not come out with the win. In their rematch, Drew suffered the same fate at Redemption. And after that, Drew went on the warpath sending minions after Taker when he placed a bounty on Taker's head. The bounty was quickly snatched up by the Great Kabuki who sprayed Undertaker in the eyes with green mist before choking him out in a camel clutch. Kabuki and McIntyre double teamed Undertaker after that match. Following that, McIntyre brought Mr. Hughes to FPR to take out the Undertaker. Hughes was successful in defeating Taker at the Great American Bash. Drew has claimed to have seen Undertaker get weaker as the months went on and following his hired guns succeeded takeouts of the Undertaker in both Kabuki and Hughes, Drew announced that he would step into the ring with the Undertaker once again - one on one at Final Burns - if Taker should show up to compete. Despite the previous beatings, Taker vowed to appear at Final Burns for the match.
The Undertaker def. Drew McIntyre (9:28) after the Last Ride
AFTERSTORY: One mistake was all it took! The Undertaker capitalized and caught Drew with the Last Ride that has spelt his end so many times before. After Taker's recent losses, Drew thought he would have an easier time with the Deadman but it was not to be as despite Drew's early control and reopening Taker's cuts, Taker was able to battle back in the end. While Drew went in thinking he would finish off the Undertaker for good, Taker proved that he is not done yet. Drew was left in disbelief out in the ring and there's no doubt he is going to be livid about his loss after he could not defeat the Undertaker like those he had sent after Taker could. Drew is unlikely to leave things like this and it will be intriguing to see what happens next in this storied rivalry.
PRESTORY: Athena scored the biggest win of her career at the Great American Bash when she won the eight woman battle royal in extremely impressive fashion. Athena was responsible for half the match's eliminations and by virtue of her victory, became #1 contender to the FPR Women's Championship. Victoria has been dominant since regaining the gold from Ayako Hamada and managed to survive the onslaught of Madison Eagles last month. Athena looks to capitalize on her recent success and take the championship from Victoria but it would not be an easy task. Victoria has held the championship more times than any other and seems poised and ready to hold on to it for the near future.
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Athena (13:37) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Athena gave it her all but it wasn't enough in the end to take down the veteran. Victoria was able to catch Athena with the Widow's Peak for her second consecutive CRITICAL win and title defense. Athena was very impressiver in her first shot at the title and it will surely not be her last. Athena will be looking for another shot at the title as soon as possible but up first for the women is the upcoming Queen's Cup taking place the first week of September! Everyone will be vying for the trophy and they will also be looking to impress in order to potentially earn a title shot.
PRESTORY: After winning the Road 2 GAB tournament, Terry Funk shocked the world when he overcame the Great Muta at the Great American Bash to become the new FPR World Heavyweight Champion. Funk was able to walk away with the gold leaving an enraged Muta and his alliance in the ring in disbelief. Funk's first title defense comes in the form of Randy Orton, who won the shot from Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Bash. Orton's title shot puts Muta's rematch on the backburner for now but there is no doubt that both Muta and Austin will have their eyes on this one.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk (13:27) via RKO CRITICAL to become the NEW FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: You could call what happened last month highway robbery at it's blatant best but the fact of the matter is Randy Orton is the new FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion! Orton defeated Terry Funk on his own merits with a devastating RKO that finished off Funk. Orton grasped the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship and held it high as the brand new title holder. His celebration would not last long however as Stone Cold Steve Austin would come charging down the ramp and into the ring, tackling the new champion to the mat! Austin unloaded with a barrage of punches to his rival and as he got to his feet, The Great Muta appeared seemingly out of nowhere! Austin turned around only to be met with green mist to the eyes! Austin went down and Muta stood over him. Orton returned to his feet, turned Muta around and looked to deliver the RKO but Muta shoved him off and dodged out of the ring. Muta retreated up the ramp, Austin looked to recover in the corner, Funk was hurting on the outside, and Orton stood tall in the ring holding his newly won championship. Chaos surrounds FPR as Final Burns comes to an end and we're on the path to the Ultimate Encounter!
©FPR Final Burns 2011. Coming up this week will be the 3rd annual FPR Queen's Cup, 32 women 1 trophy! FPR's next PPV event will be the Ultimate Encounter 2011, scheduled to take place on September 17, which will feature the Queen's Cup finals, Midnights/Beer Money, it's main event to be signed this week, and so much more!

PRESTORY: At the Great American Bash, Daizee Haze revealed her mystery partner as the debuting Serena Deeb. Serena's debut was a surprise to many including their opponents that night, Sara Del Rey & Amazing Kong. Serena would end up getting the pin for her team following a belly to belly suplex on Kong. Sara Del Rey was none too pleased with her increasing inability to get some kind of win over Haze and now in response, Sara has challenged Serena to a singles match. Sara looks to squash the buzz surrounding Serena's debut while Serena will be looking to continue on her roll. The match will also prove to be sort of a preview of the upcoming 3rd annual Queen's Cup tournament that will take place in the week that follows Final Burns!
Sara Del Rey def. Serena Deeb (7:09) via Royal Butterfly CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Sara Del Rey has made a statement! Del Rey came out with a fire in her eyes in a brutal onslaught of offense. Serena tried to battle back but Sara caught her with a vicious Royal Butterfly that rendered Serena in no shape to continue. Sara's victory was a huge boost for her but not only that, it has also caused huge reprecussions in the Queen's Cup tournament as Serena Deeb will now be unable to compete. We have received an official word update that Serena suffered an injury that took her out of the upcoming tournament. So to say Del Rey was out for revenge would be an understatement, she was out for blood on this night. After the bout was declared over, Daizee Haze made her way to the ring to check on her fallen friend. It is believed that Serena's injuries will not be too severe but she was stretchered out of the ring for her safety. Daizee has since promised to repeat what she did last year and win the Queen's Cup again, this time dedicating her performance to Serena.

PRESTORY: Last month at the Great American Bash, friends collided in a thrilling battle when Julian Caesaro pinned Jiggle-O James Johnson after a 30 minute contest.

AFTERSTORY: Hayabusa pins Daniels in an impressive six man tag that all involved looked to make an impact. Following the match, it seemed as though there were arguments abound. Julian Caesaro motioned to Hayabusa that he would be coming for the Junior championship as he believes he's earned another shot. However, Hayabusa feels that since he has already defeated Caesaro, he can move on to other challengers. On the other side, Evans and Palmer blame Daniels for their loss as he is the one that took the pinfall. Daniels poked fun at Evans for being the one of the three that never held the junior title which made Evans want another shot even more though he'll have to earn it. FPR Management is working on a settlement to the dispute between Caesaro and Hayabusa as it pertains to the junior championship.
PRESTORY: The Great American Bash ended last month with a site of victory. America's Team overcame the Four Horsemen in War Games emerging triumphant from a hellacious battle.

Pillman pins Angle one on one and perhaps most surprisingly of all, he did it clean without the help of any Horsemen. A hard fought battle between these two went for 18 minutes before Pillman caught Angle by surprise with a small package. After the match, Angle was visibly shocked and upset at the loss and as the two returned to their feet, Angle offered his hand to his opponent in a show of respect. Pillman hesitated but seemed to consider the handshake before ducking out of the ring instead. Angle was left in the ring, disappointed as a conflicted Pillman headed backstage.
PRESTORY: It was a fast-paced brawl with an out of nowhere finish at the Great American Bash as the Midnight Express retained their titles over The Great Kabuki & Sting of the Muta Alilance.

The Midnights will now ride into the Ultimate Encounter where they will defend the championships against Beer Money Inc.!
PRESTORY: Two men that were both on the losing side of things last month were the Great Muta and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Muta lost the world championship while Austin lost his shot at the title. Muta plans to still receive his rematch as soon as the opportunity opens up while Austin is hell bent on earning another shot at the title. As a result of both men's position, a match was made between the two top contenders for Final Burns. Regardless of the outcome, the match would have a major impact on the World Title picture.
The Great Muta def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (13:39) with the Moonsault
AFTERSTORY: Muta picks up one of his most impressive victories as he pins Stone Cold and cleanly at that! Austin is seen as one of the absolute toughest men to defeat but his anger over what took place last month may have gotten the best of him. Muta has proven without a doubt that he wants the world title back. Muta left the ring with the victory and would surely be watching the main event later on.
PRESTORY: Jessicka Havok and Allysin Kay have been running roughshod over the women's tag team division since debuting after WrestleMania. They've defeated every team that's come their way so far and now the Canadian Ninjas have elected to stand up and challenge the champions.

The women's tag scene is continuing to grow in FPR.
PRESTORY: For the last several months, we have witnessed a rollercoaster ride in the rivalry of Drew McIntyre and the Undertaker. Drew pushed Taker to the limit in the King of the Ring tournament but could not come out with the win. In their rematch, Drew suffered the same fate at Redemption. And after that, Drew went on the warpath sending minions after Taker when he placed a bounty on Taker's head. The bounty was quickly snatched up by the Great Kabuki who sprayed Undertaker in the eyes with green mist before choking him out in a camel clutch. Kabuki and McIntyre double teamed Undertaker after that match. Following that, McIntyre brought Mr. Hughes to FPR to take out the Undertaker. Hughes was successful in defeating Taker at the Great American Bash. Drew has claimed to have seen Undertaker get weaker as the months went on and following his hired guns succeeded takeouts of the Undertaker in both Kabuki and Hughes, Drew announced that he would step into the ring with the Undertaker once again - one on one at Final Burns - if Taker should show up to compete. Despite the previous beatings, Taker vowed to appear at Final Burns for the match.
The Undertaker def. Drew McIntyre (9:28) after the Last Ride
AFTERSTORY: One mistake was all it took! The Undertaker capitalized and caught Drew with the Last Ride that has spelt his end so many times before. After Taker's recent losses, Drew thought he would have an easier time with the Deadman but it was not to be as despite Drew's early control and reopening Taker's cuts, Taker was able to battle back in the end. While Drew went in thinking he would finish off the Undertaker for good, Taker proved that he is not done yet. Drew was left in disbelief out in the ring and there's no doubt he is going to be livid about his loss after he could not defeat the Undertaker like those he had sent after Taker could. Drew is unlikely to leave things like this and it will be intriguing to see what happens next in this storied rivalry.
PRESTORY: Athena scored the biggest win of her career at the Great American Bash when she won the eight woman battle royal in extremely impressive fashion.

Victoria has been dominant since regaining the gold from Ayako Hamada and managed to survive the onslaught of Madison Eagles last month.

PRESTORY: After winning the Road 2 GAB tournament, Terry Funk shocked the world when he overcame the Great Muta at the Great American Bash to become the new FPR World Heavyweight Champion. Funk was able to walk away with the gold leaving an enraged Muta and his alliance in the ring in disbelief. Funk's first title defense comes in the form of Randy Orton, who won the shot from Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Bash. Orton's title shot puts Muta's rematch on the backburner for now but there is no doubt that both Muta and Austin will have their eyes on this one.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton def. Terry Funk (13:27) via RKO CRITICAL to become the NEW FPR Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!

Orton defeated Terry Funk on his own merits with a devastating RKO that finished off Funk. Orton grasped the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship and held it high as the brand new title holder. His celebration would not last long however as Stone Cold Steve Austin would come charging down the ramp and into the ring, tackling the new champion to the mat! Austin unloaded with a barrage of punches to his rival and as he got to his feet, The Great Muta appeared seemingly out of nowhere! Austin turned around only to be met with green mist to the eyes!

FPR The Great American Bash 2011
July 30, 2011
Theme Song: Alter Bridge - "Isolation"
PRESTORY: Opening the Great American Bash would be the traditional 8 woman battle royal that has opened the Bash since 2008. 8 competitors were chosen to compete with all looking to claim a huge victory that would propel them in the women's division. The first two participants named were Angelina Love and Jamilia Craft, who were both involved in the recent Championship Chase series. Angelina made her FPR debut winning this match in 2008, won it again in 2009, and went to the final two in 2010 so there's no doubt she would have the experience. Similarly, Craft debuted in the match last year with a massive impact that kicked off one of FPR's hottest rivalries. The next two announced to compete were Jessica James and Athena, former tag team partners who recently became involved in a rivalry. Jessica is a former women's champion while Athena has looked to make 2011 her year, both would have opportunity for a major victory here. Added to the match next were Beautiful People associate, Brittney Savage and Nevaeh, two relative newcomers that debuted earlier this year and are looking use the battle royal to make the impact that those before them have made. The battle royal entrants were finished out with Hiroyo Matsumoto and the debuting Misaki Ohata. Matsumoto wanted the chance to shine and she has it here while Misaki just recently signed with FPR and will debut here. It promises to be an action-packed battle but only one can come out as the winner!

Misaki Ohata made an impressive debut, submitting former women's champ Jessica James. Athena continued her dominance when she eliminated both Nevaeh and Angelina Love. The bout came down to Athena and Hiroyo Matsumoto and Athena was able to pick up the huge victory.

PRESTORY: Last month at Bloodlines, partners collided in a fatal 4 way match that saw Jiggle-O James Johnson gain a huge pinfall elimination over Julian Caesaro.

PRESTORY: The Road 2 GAB tournament was a wild one that led up to the Great American Bash. Four of the top performers from the tournament were selected for a Fatal Four Way elimination bout.

Up next, The Fabulous Freebirds came to the ring. Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin entered to a chorus of boos as Hayes took the mic. Hayes gloated about the Freebirds victory last month over the Road Warriors at Bloodlines. They showed the clip of the match's finish which saw Hayes CRITICAL Hawk with a deadly DDT. Before long, they were interrupted by the sound of "Iron Man" as Road Warrior Animal came to the stage. Animal told the Freebirds that the Road Warriors would be busy taking care of business in the main event tonight but they weren't done with the Freebirds by a long shot. Animal assured them that Hawk was resting up in the back, but he would compete alongside him later and when they were done they would be coming for the Freebirds. Hayes mocked the Road Warriors until Animal revealed that he did have someone there tonight that would take Hayes on in the ring.
Power Warrior def. Michael Hayes (9:12) after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Hayes was certainly caught offguard when Animal revealed the Power Warrior! Warrior pummeled Hayes for the majority of the match before finishing him off with a lariat.

PRESTORY: Randy Orton and Stone Cold Steve Austin have been bitter enemies for almost an entire year now. Just when it looked like the feud had ended at WrestleMania, they ended up meeting again in the King of the Ring Tournament after both men advanced. Austin was victorious in controversial fashion as he applied a submission while his feet were under the ropes. The referee did not catch it at the time but Orton would protest the result and take things to FPR offices. It was agreed upon that it may have been the wrong call so Orton challenged Austin to put the title shot he won by winning the KOTR on the line. Austin accepted but only under the circumstances that Orton put his career on the line, much like Chris Jericho did last year when Austin won the KOTR. Orton agreed to put his career on the line, confident that he would be able to defeat Austin this time around. And so the match was set for the Great American Bash!
Title Shot vs Career: Randy Orton def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (9:45) after a neckbreaker

The intruder seemed to disappear aftewards but the big story is - Randy Orton has now won Steve Austin's title shot for next month! Austin will no doubt be out for blood and won't rest knowing he lost his shot at the title but he agreed to the stipulation and now Randy Orton will have the chance of a lifetime.
PRESTORY: In the King of the Ring tournament, Drew McIntyre pushed the Undertaker to the limit. Drew was unable to gain victory but impressed in his outing. At Redemption, they met again but Taker was again victorious. Drew claimed he felt that Taker was getting weaker and in his rage at the loss, he placed a thousand dollar bounty on Taker's head. That bounty was quickly snatched up last month at Bloodlines, when longtime Taker rival The Great Kabuki, blinded Taker with green mist and then forced him to pass out in a camel clutch. The post-match assault was a vicious one as Drew and Kabuki beat up the Undertaker even further. Drew laid out Taker with a briefcase shot to the head and stood tall with Kabuki. McIntyre then shouted down at Taker that this was only the beginning and he had brought someone else in to do even more damage to Taker - if Taker were to show up at the Great American Bash.
Mr. Hughes def. The Undertaker (14:31) with a big splash
AFTERSTORY: Drew McIntyre certainly delivered a surprise in the debut of Mr. Hughes and Hughes also delivered on further taking out the Undertaker. Taker was still feeling the effects from Bloodlines and Hughes took every advantage. Taker put up the best fight that he could but in the end Hughes connected with a devastating big splash for the win. After the match, Drew joined Hughes in the ring for their post-match celebration. Drew and Hughes put the boots to Taker. Drew then took the mic and told Taker that next month at Final Burns, if Taker can make it, Drew will meet him in the ring himself once again where Drew promises to finish off the Undertaker once and for all. Drew has had Taker taken out by both the Great Kabuki and Mr. Hughes and looks to finish the job himself. Drew and Hughes posed together to boos as Taker remained out of it in the ring.
PRESTORY: Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay have taken the women's tag team division by storm. Debuting impressively and quickly winning the tag team titles, disposing of then-champions Marti Belle & Jazz. Meanwhile, former champions Madison Rayne and Maryse had been racking up the wins as they moved towards another shot at the titles this time at new champions.

Sting & Kabuki overcame several top teams in route to the finals and earned a tag team title shot at new champions, the Midnight Express. Sting and Kabuki had vowed to win the titles and join world champion, Muta, in the hostile takeover of FPR.

PRESTORY: Ever since Madison Eagles debut last September, she has been consistenly impressive with several major victories. Eagles' biggest victory to date was over former multi-time womens' champion, Candice Michelle, who many consider to be the greatest FPR Women's Champion of all time.

Victoria has proven that she won't go down easy and the match at the Great American Bash would certainly be a huge challenge for both women.

AFTERSTORY: Out of nowhere, Victoria managed to retain the title! Eagles dominated much of the match but Victoria battled back and managed to catch Madison with a sudden Widows Peak which knocked out Eagles and gained Victoria the win. When Madison regained consciousness later that night, she was irate that she had been defeated and promised to win the Queen's Cup coming up in September to prove herself as the best and earn another title shot in the future. As it stands, it has been announced that Victoria will next defend the championship against the woman who won the battle royal earlier, the Wrestling Goddess, Athena.

AFTERSTORY: Terry Funk has done it! Funk has put an end to Muta's reign! What a month it's been for Funk with the ultimate way to cap it off - winning the Worlds Heavyweight Championship. It was a brutal back and forth battle that could've gone either way as both men brought it all. In the end it was Funk catching Muta with his series of jabs and laying him out for the pinfall. Funk raised the championship up high and escaped the ring as Kabuki and Sting came down with Gary Hart to tend to the fallen former champion Muta. There is no doubt that Muta will be out for revenge in the months that follow but for now, Terry Funk is atop the mountain!
PRESTORY: Last year, Kurt Angle became involved in a major rivalry. It was during that rivalry that Ric Flair reformed the Four Horsemen. Earlier this year, Flair began a feud with longtime rival Hulk Hogan after hitting him with a steel chair which set up a bout between the two at WrestleMania. Flair won the bout there to the surprise of many but in the rematch at Redemption, Hogan was victorious which led to a Horsemen beatdown. Angle was not going to stand by and he made the save for Hogan by chasing off his enemies. This set up a tag team bout with Angle and Hogan taking on Flair and Brian Pillman. The Horsemen were able to sneak away with another victory when Flair rolled up Angle. Angle was irate and a post-match brawl began between the two teams. It wasn't long before Arn & Tully joined the fray to create a 4-on-2 situation. However, this time it was Road Warrior Animal hitting the ring with a steel chair that made the save. Animal is no stranger to the Horsemen and he would later announce that as soon as Hawk recovered from injury, the Road Warriors would join Hogan and Angle for a war against the Horsemen inside the steel cage known only as War Games! And so the War Games match was set for the Great American Bash 2011!

AFTERSTORY: The heroes triumph over the Horsemen! And what a war it was. All eight men were a part of a grueling battle inside the steel cage. In the end it was Kurt Angle leading his team and forcing Arn Anderson to surrender to win the war over the Horsemen. The Horsemen left the cage that night battered and bruised and their opponents while not much better off did have the celebration of victory on their side. Angle, Hogan, and the Road Warriors stood tall inside War Games to end the 2011 Great American Bash!
©FPR Great American Bash 2011. FPR's next PPV event will be Final Burns 2011, scheduled to take place on August 27 where Terry Funk will make his first championship defense against Randy Orton, Athena gets a shot at Victoria's women's championship and so much more!
July 30, 2011
Theme Song: Alter Bridge - "Isolation"
PRESTORY: Opening the Great American Bash would be the traditional 8 woman battle royal that has opened the Bash since 2008. 8 competitors were chosen to compete with all looking to claim a huge victory that would propel them in the women's division. The first two participants named were Angelina Love and Jamilia Craft, who were both involved in the recent Championship Chase series. Angelina made her FPR debut winning this match in 2008, won it again in 2009, and went to the final two in 2010 so there's no doubt she would have the experience. Similarly, Craft debuted in the match last year with a massive impact that kicked off one of FPR's hottest rivalries. The next two announced to compete were Jessica James and Athena, former tag team partners who recently became involved in a rivalry. Jessica is a former women's champion while Athena has looked to make 2011 her year, both would have opportunity for a major victory here. Added to the match next were Beautiful People associate, Brittney Savage and Nevaeh, two relative newcomers that debuted earlier this year and are looking use the battle royal to make the impact that those before them have made. The battle royal entrants were finished out with Hiroyo Matsumoto and the debuting Misaki Ohata. Matsumoto wanted the chance to shine and she has it here while Misaki just recently signed with FPR and will debut here. It promises to be an action-packed battle but only one can come out as the winner!
8 Woman Battle Royal: Athena def. Jamilia Craft, Brittney Savage, Jessica James, Nevaeh, Angelina Love, Misaki Ohata, & Hiroyo Matsumoto (29:25)
*Athena eliminated Craft (15:21) with a backslide

AFTERSTORY: What a statement made by Athena! The match was as action-packed as would be expected with lots happening. Athena scored the first two eliminations with a shockingly early elimination of Jamilia Craft and following it up with pinning Brittney Savage. Misaki Ohata made an impressive debut, submitting former women's champ Jessica James. Athena continued her dominance when she eliminated both Nevaeh and Angelina Love. The bout came down to Athena and Hiroyo Matsumoto and Athena was able to pick up the huge victory. Athena's win will no doubt propel her to the top of the womens' division in hopes of a title shot at the champion. Athena said earlier this year that she would make 2011 her year and this could very well be the beginning of that movement.

PRESTORY: Last month at Bloodlines, partners collided in a fatal 4 way match that saw Jiggle-O James Johnson gain a huge pinfall elimination over Julian Caesaro. Caesaro didn't blame Johnson for the lost but was not too happy about it regardless. After a brief back and forth, they agreed to a one on one bout to determine who the better man is in a bout of mutual respect. The match was signed for the Great American Bash and now the two would do battle in the ring one on one!

This match had fans on the edge of their seats all the way through as the action continued to pick up throughout. The crowd gave a standing ovation at the end of the match as both men made it back to their feet. The two shook hands in the center of the ring after a grueling contest. Both men proved to be at the top of their game tonight and with the victory, Caesaro gets closer to climbing back up the ladder after being unable to capture the Junior championship in May.
PRESTORY: The Road 2 GAB tournament was a wild one that led up to the Great American Bash. Four of the top performers from the tournament were selected for a Fatal Four Way elimination bout. John Cena had returned from injury and prepared to repeat his Road 2 GAB victory last year, however he fell victim to Paul Orndorff's piledriver. Raven made it to the semi-finals while Mick Foley made it all the way to the finals before losing to tournament winner, Terry Funk.

PRESTORY: Shawn Michaels recent big match performances and success has led to a turn-around in him becoming somewhat of a fan-favorite once again. Generation sXe's leader CM Punk was not pleased with Shawn's distancing himself from the group and wanted to put him in his place. Shawn challenged Punk to take him on in a singles match which Punk agreed to and the match was set for the Great American Bash!

Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Vader (8:48) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY: Sara Del Rey has been fuming over her seeming inability to defeat Daizee Haze, whether it's been in their singles encounters, tag matches, and even a triple threat match at WrestleMania. Del Rey and Haze got into it again backstage last month, leading to Sara telling Daizee to find another partner for a tag team match to face her and Amazing Kong at the Great American Bash. Daizee agreed to the match and would reveal her partner at the Bash!

AFTERSTORY: Daizee revealed a big surprise as her partner was the debuting Serena Deeb! And it turned out to be the right choice as Serena got the win for her and Daizee with a big pinfall over Kong.

Up next, The Fabulous Freebirds came to the ring. Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin entered to a chorus of boos as Hayes took the mic. Hayes gloated about the Freebirds victory last month over the Road Warriors at Bloodlines. They showed the clip of the match's finish which saw Hayes CRITICAL Hawk with a deadly DDT. Before long, they were interrupted by the sound of "Iron Man" as Road Warrior Animal came to the stage. Animal told the Freebirds that the Road Warriors would be busy taking care of business in the main event tonight but they weren't done with the Freebirds by a long shot. Animal assured them that Hawk was resting up in the back, but he would compete alongside him later and when they were done they would be coming for the Freebirds. Hayes mocked the Road Warriors until Animal revealed that he did have someone there tonight that would take Hayes on in the ring.
Power Warrior def. Michael Hayes (9:12) after a lariat
AFTERSTORY: Hayes was certainly caught offguard when Animal revealed the Power Warrior! Warrior pummeled Hayes for the majority of the match before finishing him off with a lariat. Animal had stated the Road Warriors are far from finished with the Freebirds so this could be just the beginning for what the Freebirds will endure unless they can bounce back with a string of victories as they had in the past.
PRESTORY: Randy Orton and Stone Cold Steve Austin have been bitter enemies for almost an entire year now. Just when it looked like the feud had ended at WrestleMania, they ended up meeting again in the King of the Ring Tournament after both men advanced. Austin was victorious in controversial fashion as he applied a submission while his feet were under the ropes. The referee did not catch it at the time but Orton would protest the result and take things to FPR offices. It was agreed upon that it may have been the wrong call so Orton challenged Austin to put the title shot he won by winning the KOTR on the line. Austin accepted but only under the circumstances that Orton put his career on the line, much like Chris Jericho did last year when Austin won the KOTR. Orton agreed to put his career on the line, confident that he would be able to defeat Austin this time around. And so the match was set for the Great American Bash!
Title Shot vs Career: Randy Orton def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (9:45) after a neckbreaker
AFTERSTORY: Shockingly enough, Orton was able to defeat Stone Cold! But it was not without it's share of controversy. Stone Cold was distracted by a masked man arriving at ringside which allowed Orton to capitalize with a vicious neckbreaker that downed Austin for the three count. The intruder seemed to disappear aftewards but the big story is - Randy Orton has now won Steve Austin's title shot for next month! Austin will no doubt be out for blood and won't rest knowing he lost his shot at the title but he agreed to the stipulation and now Randy Orton will have the chance of a lifetime.
PRESTORY: In the King of the Ring tournament, Drew McIntyre pushed the Undertaker to the limit. Drew was unable to gain victory but impressed in his outing. At Redemption, they met again but Taker was again victorious. Drew claimed he felt that Taker was getting weaker and in his rage at the loss, he placed a thousand dollar bounty on Taker's head. That bounty was quickly snatched up last month at Bloodlines, when longtime Taker rival The Great Kabuki, blinded Taker with green mist and then forced him to pass out in a camel clutch. The post-match assault was a vicious one as Drew and Kabuki beat up the Undertaker even further. Drew laid out Taker with a briefcase shot to the head and stood tall with Kabuki. McIntyre then shouted down at Taker that this was only the beginning and he had brought someone else in to do even more damage to Taker - if Taker were to show up at the Great American Bash.
Mr. Hughes def. The Undertaker (14:31) with a big splash
AFTERSTORY: Drew McIntyre certainly delivered a surprise in the debut of Mr. Hughes and Hughes also delivered on further taking out the Undertaker. Taker was still feeling the effects from Bloodlines and Hughes took every advantage. Taker put up the best fight that he could but in the end Hughes connected with a devastating big splash for the win. After the match, Drew joined Hughes in the ring for their post-match celebration. Drew and Hughes put the boots to Taker. Drew then took the mic and told Taker that next month at Final Burns, if Taker can make it, Drew will meet him in the ring himself once again where Drew promises to finish off the Undertaker once and for all. Drew has had Taker taken out by both the Great Kabuki and Mr. Hughes and looks to finish the job himself. Drew and Hughes posed together to boos as Taker remained out of it in the ring.
PRESTORY: Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay have taken the women's tag team division by storm. Debuting impressively and quickly winning the tag team titles, disposing of then-champions Marti Belle & Jazz. Meanwhile, former champions Madison Rayne and Maryse had been racking up the wins as they moved towards another shot at the titles this time at new champions. Belle & Jazz seemed to be the one team that Madison and Maryse could not defeat so now they would challenge the seemingly even more dominant Havok & Kay for the titles they created.
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Jessicka Havok & Allysin Kay def. Madison Rayne & Maryse (20:49) when Havok pinned Rayne with a powerbomb to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Another successful defense for Jessicka and Allysin, this time over the former most dominant tag team champions in the Beautiful People. Havok dropped Rayne with a vicious powerbomb as they look primed to take out all of the competition. It will be interesting to see who challenges for the women's tag team championships next with Havok & Kay wiping out the competition.
PRESTORY: Last month at Bloodlines, Robert Evans snuck away with a big fatal 4 way victory to become #1 contender the Junior Championship.

AFTERSTORY: Evans came close and gave it all he had but in the end Hayabusa was able to once again pull out the win.

Hayabusa continues to ride his wave of success as he will await his next challenge.
PRESTORY: The Summer Spectacular Tag Team Tournament to find new number one contenders for the tag team titles was one of the most exciting tournaments to take place. 32 teams battled in a wildly unpredictable tournament that led to the finals of The Dark Circle vs The Muta Alliance of Sting & The Great Kabuki. Sting & Kabuki would get the win as the Dark Circle again came up short in their tournament bid. Sting & Kabuki overcame several top teams in route to the finals and earned a tag team title shot at new champions, the Midnight Express. Sting and Kabuki had vowed to win the titles and join world champion, Muta, in the hostile takeover of FPR. It would be the Midnights first defense and the Muta Alliance have proved to be much more than a makeshift tag team, they were a bonafide force. The match promised to be a showdown for the tag team titles at the Great American Bash!
World Tag Team Championship Match: The Midnight Express def. Sting & The Great Kabuki (11:36) when Eaton pinned Sting after a piledriver to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Surprisingly short but filled with nonstop action, the Midnight Express were able to walk away as still the tag team champions. Eaton drilled Sting with a piledriver to gain the win in a fast-paced brawl. After the match, the Midnights were quick to leave the scene with the gold as Kabuki and Sting remained in-ring dejected that they were unable to win the gold after how far they had come with the tournament victory.
PRESTORY: Ever since Madison Eagles debut last September, she has been consistenly impressive with several major victories. Eagles' biggest victory to date was over former multi-time womens' champion, Candice Michelle, who many consider to be the greatest FPR Women's Champion of all time. Eagles defeated Angelina Love last month to officially become number one contender to the women's championship where she would challenge the champion, Victoria for the gold. Victoria has proven that she won't go down easy and the match at the Great American Bash would certainly be a huge challenge for both women.
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Madison Eagles (10:09) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Out of nowhere, Victoria managed to retain the title! Eagles dominated much of the match but Victoria battled back and managed to catch Madison with a sudden Widows Peak which knocked out Eagles and gained Victoria the win. When Madison regained consciousness later that night, she was irate that she had been defeated and promised to win the Queen's Cup coming up in September to prove herself as the best and earn another title shot in the future. As it stands, it has been announced that Victoria will next defend the championship against the woman who won the battle royal earlier, the Wrestling Goddess, Athena.
PRESTORY: Like the Summer Spectacular, the Road 2 GAB was an exciting thriller of a tournament. Everyone wanted a shot at the Great Muta and the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. The tournament finale came down to two men, two former champions, in Mick Foley and Terry Funk. After a twenty minute battle, Terry Funk emerged victorious as the winner of the tournament and was crowned new #1 contender for the Great Muta's Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

PRESTORY: Last year, Kurt Angle became involved in a major rivalry. It was during that rivalry that Ric Flair reformed the Four Horsemen. Earlier this year, Flair began a feud with longtime rival Hulk Hogan after hitting him with a steel chair which set up a bout between the two at WrestleMania. Flair won the bout there to the surprise of many but in the rematch at Redemption, Hogan was victorious which led to a Horsemen beatdown. Angle was not going to stand by and he made the save for Hogan by chasing off his enemies. This set up a tag team bout with Angle and Hogan taking on Flair and Brian Pillman. The Horsemen were able to sneak away with another victory when Flair rolled up Angle. Angle was irate and a post-match brawl began between the two teams. It wasn't long before Arn & Tully joined the fray to create a 4-on-2 situation. However, this time it was Road Warrior Animal hitting the ring with a steel chair that made the save. Animal is no stranger to the Horsemen and he would later announce that as soon as Hawk recovered from injury, the Road Warriors would join Hogan and Angle for a war against the Horsemen inside the steel cage known only as War Games!
