Theme Song: Evanescence - "My Heart is Broken"
PRESTORY: After being unable to regain the tag team championships, Power Warrior and Genichiro Tenryu would face the other team in the mix lately, the Horsemen tandem of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. Arn & Tully have been trying to find their way into a title shot while Power Warrior & Tenryu have been fighting to remain at the top. Now the two teams would kick things off at Valentine's Massacre!

PRESTORY: The ongoing rivalry between the Resistance and the high flyers of the junior division continues coming out of the Super J Cup. Tonight, Rey, Kidman, and Sin Cara join up with Super J Cup semi-finalist standout Justin Gabriel to go to battle against Aries, Shelley, Malenko, and Christopher Daniels!

AFTERSTORY: Mysterio surprises Malenko with the pinfall as the rivalry continues. After the match ended, a frustrated Kurt Angle came to the ring and began tossing everyone in sight! Angle did not make it far in the Super J Cup as he had hoped and was looking to take out his anger. Kurt tossed Sin Cara with a german suplex and Daniels with a belly to belly over the top before drilling Kidman with the Angle Slam. Kurt went after Aries but he escaped the ring, yelling back a reminder that he pinned Angle in the end of the gauntlet match last month. Aries backed up the ramp with Shelley and Malenko while Angle stared from the ring as he will wait for his chance to get Aries back in the ring.
PRESTORY: A few months ago a rivalry kicked off at Final Showdown between Melanie Cruise and Sumie Sakai as they got into a fight among a chaotic brawl. They met in the ring last month where Sakai was victorious but Melanie was quick to demand a rematch, which was accepted to take place at Valentine's Massacre.
Melanie Cruise def. Sumie Sakai (16:32) after a low blow
AFTERSTORY: After both gave it all they had, Cruise resorted to a last ditch effort to score the victory. After the match, Cruise picked Sakai back up and tossed her into the corner. The Beautiful People then came down, applauding Cruise for her victory as they cornered the hurting Sakai. Before they could make an ambush, Su Yung, Tracy Taylor, and Arisa Nakajima rushed down to the ring for the save! They caused the villains to retreat as it looks like we have an eight woman tag set up for WrestleMania!
Backstage, the always at odds odd couple tag team of Jamilia Craft and Claudia were seen discussing their downfall as a tag team ever since losing the tag team championships and being unable to regain them. They brought up possibly missing WrestleMania after challenging for the titles one year ago and putting on a showstealer with each other the year before that. Claudia suggested perhaps they should face each other one more time on the grand stage and then head their separate ways afterwards. Craft accepted the match proposal and it looks like we'll get Craft vs Claudia one more time at WrestleMania 8!
PRESTORY: One of the most impressive newcomers to FPR over the last few months has been Ivelisse Velez who has been racking up the wins lately. Now at Valentine's Massacre she would move further up the ladder and take on the always impressive Nevaeh, who has been striving to get back into title contention. It would sure to be a match to remember.
Nevaeh def. Ivelisse Velez (12:22) with a victory roll
AFTERSTORY: Nevaeh puts a stop to Ivelisse's win streak! Nevaeh proves she wouldn't be a stepping stone with a big win, leaving a frustrated Ivelisse pounding the mat in anger.
PRESTORY: Another big match in the women's division would be between two more top contenders, former champion Athena and Rain who has been on a roll for the last few months. This would be another match with contendership implications along with WrestleMania implications..
Athena def. Rain (11:25) after a uranage
AFTERSTORY: Another impressive victory from Athena, who has vowed to get back to the top and reclaim the women's championship. This was certainly a step in the right direction of accomplishing that. Athena left the ring with her arm in the air and after the match, Ivelisse Velez returned to the ring. Rain slowly got to her feet holding her neck in pain as Ivelisse then offered her hand to Rain. Rain accepted her hand and Ivelisse raised Rain's arm up. The two then walked out together as seemingly a new duo.
International Champion, The Big Show came to the ring and declared that he had defeated everyone leaving no worthy challengers left for his title. Show was interrupted by Sheamus, who challenged him to a match at WrestleMania where he vowed to defeat the giant to become the new international champion! Big Show was not phased and accepted the challenge.
PRESTORY: Fighting junior champ AJ Styles was able to sit back and watch the Super J Cup determine his next championship challenger for WrestleMania. However, Styles chose not to just sit back as he wanted to stay active in the ring. As a result, Styles granted a non title match to impressive high flyer Kotaro Suzuki, who was unable to compete in the Super J Cup due to scheduling conflicts. Their match would take place at Valentine's Massacre!
Non Title Match: Kotaro Suzuki def. AJ Styles (10:42) after the Blue Destiny
AFTERSTORY: The junior champ takes an upset loss! But it was not without controversy. It seems Styles' willingness to invite challengers worldwide to take him on as invoked intrigue as towards the end of the bout, Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Jimmy Yang came down to ringside. The arrival caused AJ to look in their direction, a distraction that lasted just long enough for Suzuki to wrap Styles up in his finisher. After the match ended, Kanemaru sent Yang into the ring. Yang looked to Suzuki and seemed to be motioning for him to join him in attacking the junior champion but instead, Suzuki sent Yang reeling with a clothesline right back over the top rope! Kanemaru helped Yang to his feet and they backed up the ramp. Interesting things heating up in the junior division!
PRESTORY: Bill Goldberg took everyone by storm when he won the Royal Battle last month, guaranteeing himself a shot at the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Stone Cold Steve Austin recently became the longest reigning World Champ in FPR history, a record that was prior held by Goldberg. Goldberg will meet Austin at 'Mania but he did not want to sit and wait, he wanted to remain active with a tune-up match at Valentine's Massacre. Goldberg offered a challenge to anyone to accept and get in the ring with him. The challenge was accepted by Shawn Michaels, who was looking for another shot to stay in the title picture..
Biil Goldberg def. Shawn Michaels (8:05) with the Jackhammer
AFTERSTORY: Goldberg made quick work of Shawn, flattening him with the Jackhammer. Goldberg decided to stay at ringside following the match, knowing that Stone Cold would be competing next..
PRESTORY: After hearing Goldberg's plan to compete, Stone Cold Steve Austin promised to show up his number one contender challenger after not competing at the Royal Battle. Austin's been unstoppable for the past year and would now wrestle a non-title match against Bret "Hitman" Hart. Bret was originally scheduled to be a part of the Royal Battle but was unable to make it and would then get a chance to face the champion in a non title match. Austin vs Hart with Goldberg at ringside promised to be a heated contest!
Non Title Match: Bret Hart def. Stone Cold Steve Austin (14:33) after a piledriver
AFTERSTORY: Shocking upset! No other way to put it seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin finally defeated, albeit not for the world championship. Perhaps Goldberg got into Austin's head with mind games by being at ringside. Regardless, we now know for sure that Bret Hart cemented his name as a future title challenger with a truly remarkable performance in his first FPR bout in some time. Goldberg left ringside with a smirk as Austin sat bleeding in disbelief in the ring. There's no doubt that Bret will have his eyes locked on the WrestleMania showdown for the title.
PRESTORY: Mercedes Martinez and Angel Blue have been having one of the great rivalries of FPR over the last several months. They've traded wins back and forth and can't seem to put their grudge to rest. At Valentine's Massacre the two would pick their own partners to compete in a tag team match!
Mercedes Martinez & Jessica James def. Angel Blue & Angelina Love (24:08) when Mercedes pinned Angel after a back suplex
AFTERSTORY: After a hard fought bout, Mercedes was able to pin Angel one more time. But things would not end there as once Angel was back to her feet she attacked Mercedes. Mercedes battled back as the two brawled all over the ring. Officials came down to separate the two and put an end to the fight. FPR management has since announced that Mercedes Martinez and Angel Blue will meet one last time at WrestleMania in the first ever Last Woman Standing match!
PRESTORY: The hardcore deathmatch championship picture has been as chaotic as ever lately. Abdullah the Butcher having recently regained the title from Necro Butcher and would wind up in post-match brawls constantly. Tonight it was Mick Foley's shot at the title, that he's been waiting for ever since losing the title back in October.
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Mick Foley (14:58) with the running elbow drop to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Abdullah was able to overcome Foley in a hellacious battle filled with blood and weapons. After the battle, Necro Butcher made his way out to the ring and decides he's not done yet as he attacked both men in the ring. This time, Raven's Flock began making their way down from the rafters and towards the ring. Raven entered the ring with W*NG Kanemura and Perry Saturn and it was an all-out war in the ring! The Hardcore Deathmatch scene is chaos heading into WrestleMania 8!
PRESTORY: The 2013 Super J Cup was wild and unpredictable. With several wildcards, none of the favorites to win made it very far. In the end it came down to the roads of two men, Petey Williams who was battling for another shot at the Junior Title after coming so close against AJ Styles at Final Showdown. And Robert Evans who managed to catch everyone by surprise by racking up win after win en route to the finals. Now it'd be Evans vs Williams for the Super J Cup Crown with the winner advancing to a title shot at WrestleMania!
Super J Cup Finals: Robert Evans def. Petey Williams (14:15) with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY: Robert Evans has done it! Coming from out of nowhere all the way to the top, Evans captured the crown in a hard fought battle. Evans will now face AJ Styles for the Junior Championship at WrestleMania. The two do have some history dating back a few years back and now they will meet on the grand stage. Also of note is that Kanemaru & Yang were once again spotted watching the match from the stage, though this time they did not get involved.
PRESTORY: Madison Eagles and Kana have been on a tear trying to become women's tag team champions as of late. They earned their first shot at Final Showdown but were defeated in what many called an upset. Now last month they won a number one contenders match to once again earn a shot at the titles. Marti Belle and Jazz have more than proven their worth as champions and would take on the supremely tough task once again.
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def. Madison Eagles & Kana (24:32) when Marti pinned Kana after an elbow to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: Against the odds, Belle and Jazz remain the champions! They have overcome the challenge of Eagles and Kana once again. After the match, the challengers were quick to go after the champions but not quick enough as Marti Belle escaped the ring with Jazz, holding their championships up high. Eagles and Kana were still furious over their second loss and took their frustrations out at ringside, throwing everything they could find. Until suddenly out came the returning from injury Gail Kim & Ayako Hamada! Both had been on the shelf since November due to Kana's vicious attacks and now they were looking for retribution. Gail and Hamada went right for Kana and Eagles igniting a wild brawl. The two teams brawled all the way to the back and there is no a doubt a grudge there. The tag team grudge match will take place at WrestleMania!
PRESTORY: Last month, Daizee Haze finally accomplished her longterm goal of capturing the women's championship. Daizee's second Queen's Cup tournament win translated into championship gold. Defeating the record 1 time champion Victoria was no easy task. And now Victoria was back for her rematch looking to put an early stop to Haze's first reign as champion.

AFTERSTORY: Haze keeps on rolling! Once again despite a very close bout, Daizee was able to pin Victoria and keep hold of the women's championship. Daizee left with the championship held high while Victoria is furious that she will not be competing for the championship at WrestleMania.
PRESTORY: The Midnight Express have spent the last few months making life miserable for Power Warrior and Genichiro Tenryu, ruining what should've been a spectacular title reign for them. They've been on the warpath since losing the gold and aimed to get them back as soon as possible. Last month they beat Arn and Tully to earn the shot at current titleholders Hulk Hogan & John Cena. Hogan and Cena have proven to be quite the combination and now would be arguably their toughest test against one of the most dominant tag teams in FPR History.
World Tag Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. The Midnight Express (30:29) when Hogan pinned Eaton to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: What a battle! It went back and forth with the Midnights using every trick they've ever tried before in attempts to win back the gold but it was not to be. The combined powers of Hulk and Cena were too much for even the Midnights to overcome. Just when it looked like the Midnight Express could finish things, Hogan hulked up and flattened Bobby Eaton for the win prompting a championship celebration. Now, Hogan & Cena carry the championships into WrestleMania 8 but it remains to be seen who they will defend against with the unpredictable tag team scene as of late.
PRESTORY: The Valentine's Massacre main event would be a blockbuster eight man tag comprised of many of FPR's headliners, several of whom were apart of the Royal Battle match last month. The two teams of four would see The Rock, Triple H, Brian Pillman, and The Undertaker do battle with Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and the Horsemen's Barry Windham & Jeff Jarrett.

PRESTORY: Last month's Final Showdown had major controversy surrounding the tag team championship picture. Both the Midnight Express and Arn & Tully wanted to get involved but it was the Midnights that caused the shocking title change, putting an abrupt end to a feel good moment.

PRESTORY: Following one of their biggest wins as a tag team at Final Showdown, women's tag champs Marti Belle & Jazz knew their next challenge would be decided tonight but they wanted to stay active and defend their championships. A bold, risky move it would be as they would defend the championships against former champs that beat them before Trish Stratus & Lita. The champs felt Trish & Lita still deserved a rematch since they weren't able to get one after Belle & Jazz regained the gold at Halloween Havoc.

PRESTORY: At Final Showdown, one of FPR's hottest rivalries between Mercedes Martinez & Angel Blue put on one of the best two out of three falls matches in FPR history. Without a doubt a match that will go down in history as a memorable one and a highlight of their feud. They both proved they can pin the other but the rivalry is far from finished. Mercedes wanted another piece of Angel after the defeat and insisted on their next encounter being an I Quit match! This time the two would have to force the other into submission to come out on top and it would be another can't miss event.
I Quit Match: Mercedes Martinez def. Angel Blue (24:28) via STF submission
AFTERSTORY: Another spectacular war between these two! Mercedes gets revenge forcing a bloodied Angel Blue to submit in an STF submission. Both gave it everything they had and went at it back and forth. Mercedes busted Angel open early on but she kept fighting.

They will be choosing partners to meet again in a tag team match next month at Valentine's Massacre!
PRESTORY: Last month Madison Eagles & Kana beat the clock but were not able to beat the women's tag team champions. They had been irate ever since the loss and have vowed to get another shot and win the titles. They would get their chance to become #1 contenders once again in a match against longtime rivals Serena Deeb & Jessie McKay! Deeb & McKay saw this as their own opportunity to become champions if they could overcome the tough challenge. Either way, the champs are in for a fight with whoever they defend against next.

PRESTORY: Victoria has been dominant in her record eleventh reign as womens' champion. Equally as dominant has been Daizee Haze who has been nearly unstoppable since winning her second Queen's Cup back in September.

Women's Championship Match: Daizee Haze def. Victoria (14:04) after a jumping facebuster to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Daizee has done it! After a long road to the championship, Daizee Haze finally succeeded and ended the impressive 11th reign of Victoria. All of Daizee's battles over the last several months paid off huge in the end. Now it will be Victoria on the warpath for a rematch as she will look to capture her twelfth women's championship. But for now Daizee will enjoy her newly won championship and she celebrated her victory around the ringside fans.
PRESTORY: Final Showdown had the tag team championships surrounded by controversy thanks to the Midnight Express and the Horsemen leading to Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu shockingly losing the titles just one week after capturing their year-long goal. Hulk Hogan & John Cena became the new champions that night, a newer team that formed based off mutual respect only a month before. Now, Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu would get their rematch in hopes of recapturing the gold.
World Tag Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu (18:42) when Hogan pinned Power Warrior to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The Midnight Express just couldn't stay away as they once again decided to get involved. Despite having a guaranteed shot at the titles next month, it looks as though the Midnights would rather take their chances on the impressive new champions rather than the team that bested them once before. Regardless of how it happened, Hogan & Cena managed to hang on to the championships and now will have an equally as big test in front of them when they defend against the #1 contenders, former champs the Midnight Express at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: The main event would be the annual 8 man Royal Battle which would determine who faces Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania VIII. The participants this year would be recent rivals Brock Lesnar and Triple H who have both been impressive lately. Brock's been on a tear since his sudden jump into the picture in November while HHH is a former world champion and a former WrestleMania headliner himself. Brian Pillman would enter the Rumble in hopes of gaining one more shot at the title after failing to complete his money in the bank cash in. Pilman's arch rival, Barry Windham would represent the Horsemen as he looks to capture the gold for the Horsemen. Former longest reigning world champion of all time Bill Goldberg enters the Rumble looking to face the man who snapped his record. First ever FPR World Champ Shawn Michaels enters looking to reclaim glory. And lastly, Stone Cold's recent rival CM Punk would fill out the battle. Despite losing twice to Austin, Punk continues to believe he can defeat him and looks to use the Royal Battle to do just that. Eight men but only one winner can go on to face the world champion at WrestleMania 8!

After Lesnar's shocking elimination, he went after Triple H again backstage who was recovering and ended up in a brawl with the Undertaker! Pillman was riding high after having eliminated Brock but Rock was able to put him down and then Windham as well. Goldberg proved his determination to take down the man who surpassed him as the longest reigning FPR World Champion of all time. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for all the participants, especially the Rock who came as close as one can get. But now we know it will be Austin vs Goldberg at WrestleMania VIII!

Definite rivalries here and some will be seeing each other in matches for sure at Valentine's Massacre.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Mason Ryan (10:22) after a lariat to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY: Impressive newcomer Ivelisse Velez secured a big win last month and was already wanting top competition. Ivelisse would take a big leap forward with a match against recent #1 contender Kelly Kelly.

PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Rain rode a wave of momentum into an impressive four way victory in a match almost won by Nevaeh. Also on that show, Athena overcame the Glamazon. None of the three were able to beat the clock but remaiined top contenders. Now the three would meet in a triple threat elimination bout!
Triple Threat Match: Athena def. Rain & Nevaeh (21:17)
*Athena pinned Rain (14:02) with a small package
*Athena pinned Nevaeh (21:17) after a fameasser
AFTERSTORY: Athena continues her hot streak as she is determined to get another shot at the title, something she's been after since she lost it back in October. Athena is definitely in line but for now, Rain has challenged Athena to a one on one match following her elimination here. Meanwhile it's been announced that Nevaeh will meet Ivelisse Velez at Valentine's Massacre in what promise to be a memorable matchup and a major one for both.
PRESTORY: Last month's Final Showdown had major controversy surrounding the tag team championship picture. Both the Midnight Express and Arn & Tully wanted to get involved but it was the Midnights that caused the shocking title change, putting an abrupt end to a feel good moment. Arn & Tully weren't happy that their initial plan was thwarted and it was decided that the two teams would face each other at the Royal Battle.

AFTERSTORY: The Midnights bounce back with a major win despite being on the verge of defeat. Arn and Tully thought they had things going their way but the Express pulled out the victory in their usual fashion. The Midnights win gains them contendership as they seek the rematch they have been waiting for.
PRESTORY: Following one of their biggest wins as a tag team at Final Showdown, women's tag champs Marti Belle & Jazz knew their next challenge would be decided tonight but they wanted to stay active and defend their championships. A bold, risky move it would be as they would defend the championships against former champs that beat them before Trish Stratus & Lita. The champs felt Trish & Lita still deserved a rematch since they weren't able to get one after Belle & Jazz regained the gold at Halloween Havoc.
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def. Trish Stratus & Lita (18:31) when Jazz pinned Lita after the Jazz Stinger to RETAIN the championships!

AFTERSTORY: Abdullah retains the championship in a wild brawl. After the match this time, Mick Foley entered the ring and dropped both Abdullah and Necro with double arm DDTs. Foley will get his rematch now against Abdullah at next month's Valentine's Massacre. The Flock were once again seen from the balcony area watching the post-match ongoings.
PRESTORY: At Final Showdown, one of FPR's hottest rivalries between Mercedes Martinez & Angel Blue put on one of the best two out of three falls matches in FPR history. Without a doubt a match that will go down in history as a memorable one and a highlight of their feud. They both proved they can pin the other but the rivalry is far from finished. Mercedes wanted another piece of Angel after the defeat and insisted on their next encounter being an I Quit match! This time the two would have to force the other into submission to come out on top and it would be another can't miss event.
I Quit Match: Mercedes Martinez def. Angel Blue (24:28) via STF submission
AFTERSTORY: Another spectacular war between these two! Mercedes gets revenge forcing a bloodied Angel Blue to submit in an STF submission. Both gave it everything they had and went at it back and forth. Mercedes busted Angel open early on but she kept fighting. In the end, Mercedes was able to put her away and walk away with the victory leaving Blue down on the mat. These two have one hell of a grudge and they just won't let it go. They will be choosing partners to meet again in a tag team match next month at Valentine's Massacre!
PRESTORY: Last month Madison Eagles & Kana beat the clock but were not able to beat the women's tag team champions. They had been irate ever since the loss and have vowed to get another shot and win the titles. They would get their chance to become #1 contenders once again in a match against longtime rivals Serena Deeb & Jessie McKay! Deeb & McKay saw this as their own opportunity to become champions if they could overcome the tough challenge. Either way, the champs are in for a fight with whoever they defend against next.
Madison Eagles & Kana def. Serena Deeb & Jessie McKay (16:56) when Eagles pinned McKay with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: Eagles & Kana proved they were determined for that shot by overcoming their rivals. Serena and McKay fought valiantly but this time they were not able to defeat their opponents. Eagles & Kana now more focused than ever looked primed and ready for their tag team title shot at Marti Belle & Jazz to take place at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: Victoria has been dominant in her record eleventh reign as womens' champion. Equally as dominant has been Daizee Haze who has been nearly unstoppable since winning her second Queen's Cup back in September. Daizee's first shot at the title was also against Victoria where she was unsuccessful. Now, Daizee's built quite a career in FPR and has her second chance to become champion for the first time.
Women's Championship Match: Daizee Haze def. Victoria (14:04) after a jumping facebuster to become the NEW Champion!!
AFTERSTORY: Daizee has done it! After a long road to the championship, Daizee Haze finally succeeded and ended the impressive 11th reign of Victoria. All of Daizee's battles over the last several months paid off huge in the end. Now it will be Victoria on the warpath for a rematch as she will look to capture her twelfth women's championship. But for now Daizee will enjoy her newly won championship and she celebrated her victory around the ringside fans.
PRESTORY: Final Showdown had the tag team championships surrounded by controversy thanks to the Midnight Express and the Horsemen leading to Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu shockingly losing the titles just one week after capturing their year-long goal. Hulk Hogan & John Cena became the new champions that night, a newer team that formed based off mutual respect only a month before. Now, Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu would get their rematch in hopes of recapturing the gold.
World Tag Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu (18:42) when Hogan pinned Power Warrior to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The Midnight Express just couldn't stay away as they once again decided to get involved. Despite having a guaranteed shot at the titles next month, it looks as though the Midnights would rather take their chances on the impressive new champions rather than the team that bested them once before. Regardless of how it happened, Hogan & Cena managed to hang on to the championships and now will have an equally as big test in front of them when they defend against the #1 contenders, former champs the Midnight Express at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: The main event would be the annual 8 man Royal Battle which would determine who faces Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania VIII. The participants this year would be recent rivals Brock Lesnar and Triple H who have both been impressive lately. Brock's been on a tear since his sudden jump into the picture in November while HHH is a former world champion and a former WrestleMania headliner himself. Brian Pillman would enter the Rumble in hopes of gaining one more shot at the title after failing to complete his money in the bank cash in. Pilman's arch rival, Barry Windham would represent the Horsemen as he looks to capture the gold for the Horsemen. Former longest reigning world champion of all time Bill Goldberg enters the Rumble looking to face the man who snapped his record. First ever FPR World Champ Shawn Michaels enters looking to reclaim glory. And lastly, Stone Cold's recent rival CM Punk would fill out the battle. Despite losing twice to Austin, Punk continues to believe he can defeat him and looks to use the Royal Battle to do just that. Eight men but only one winner can go on to face the world champion at WrestleMania 8!
The Royal Battle: Bill Goldberg def. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Brian Pillman, Barry Windham, & The Rock (34:43)
*Rock eliminated HHH (8:36)
*Punk eliminated Michaels (9:11)
*Pillman eliminated Punk (14:04)
*Pillman eliminated Lesnar (16:55)
*Rock eliminated Pillman (21:39)
*Rock eliminated Windham (26:43)
*Goldberg eliminated Rock (34:43)
AFTERSTORY: Bill Goldberg is going to WrestleMania! Despite a very impressive showing from Brian Pillman, a superhuman performance from the Rock and Windham's cunning towards the end, Goldberg managed to hang on until the very end. After Lesnar's shocking elimination, he went after Triple H again backstage who was recovering and ended up in a brawl with the Undertaker! Pillman was riding high after having eliminated Brock but Rock was able to put him down and then Windham as well. Goldberg proved his determination to take down the man who surpassed him as the longest reigning FPR World Champion of all time. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for all the participants, especially the Rock who came as close as one can get. But now we know it will be Austin vs Goldberg at WrestleMania VIII!
©FPR Royal Battle 2013. FPR's next PPV event will be Valentine's Masscare in mid-February and will feature the Super J Cup Finals, Hogan & Cena vs The Midnights, Victoria vs Daizee and much more!

FPR Final Showdown
"Out of Control"
December 30, 2012
Theme Song: TobyMac - "The Slam"
*The show opened with a video recap of the magnificent conclusion to Eve of Destruction where Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu were crowned new tag team champions*
PRESTORY: With the ongoing rivalry in the Junior Division between top contenders coming out of the Survival of the Sickest match that nearly went one hour, the two sides continued to battle. Now an almost-rematch from SOTS would take place, only with each side having one less member for an elimination six man tag. Austin Aries leads the Resistance of himself, Dean Malenko, and Alex Shelley to battle against their rivals Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, & Billy Kidman in what promises to be another explosive chapter!
Elimination 6 Man Tag Team Match: Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, & Dean Malenko def. Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, & Billy Kidman (25:55) 3 falls to 0
*Malenko eliminated Mysterio (20:54) via Texas Cloverleaf submission
*Shelley eliminated Kidman (25:33) with a backslide
*Shelley eliminated Cara (25:55) with a gedo roll
AFTERSTORY: They got the revenge they were looking for without a doubt with a clean sweep. Austin Aries raised the arms of Shelley and Malenko as the Resistance stood tall in the end. All six competitors will be competing in February's Super J Cup and word has it there will be a gauntlet match at January's Royal Battle as a preview to the J Cup.
PRESTORY: One of the most impressive teams coming out of the women's tag team beat the clock challenge was Annie Social and Melanie Cruise. They had the time to beat almost all the way through before having it beat in the end. Their impressive victory was over former tag champions Jamilia Craft and Claudia, who were more than displeased with the defeat. Craft and Claudia challenged Social and Cruise to a rematch for Final Showdown..
Annie Social & Melanie Cruise def. Jamilia Craft & Claudia (21:52) when Cruise pinned Craft
AFTERSTORY: Another loss for Craft and Claudia could not be a good thing for them. And sure enough it wasn't long before their tempers began to flare and an argument started. But before things could escalate further, Social & Cruise decided to ambush their already defeated opponents from behind. They put to the boots to the fallen Craft & Claudia until Jessica James & Sumie Sakai ran down for the save. Those two teams then went at it. Sakai dropkicked Melanie Cruise out of the ring and then dove out onto her. Sakai and Cruise brawled to the back while The Beautiful People hit the ring and attacked Jessica James from behind. Annie Social decided to sneak away from the scene. It was a 3 on 1 beatdown as Madison Rayne hit the Raynedrop on Jessica leading to Su Yung rushing to the ring with her partner Tracy Taylor, who debuted in the beat the clock challenge. Madison Rayne fled the scene as the two teams now fought with one another. When chaos finally settled this all led directly into the next bout..
Maryse & Brittney Savage def. Su Yung & Tracy Taylor (29:14) when Maryse pinned Yung after a Brittney used a chop block
AFTERSTORY: After a long back and forth battle, the Beautiful People duo of Maryse & Brittney used their tag team experience to gain the win with a double team. Madison Rayne rejoined her cohorts on the stage to raise their arms in celebration of their victory. The Beautiful People stand tall after a chaotic order of events.
PRESTORY: After his dominant victory over Kaz Hayashi at Eve of Destruction, Kurt Angle was feeling confident and issued an open challenge. That challenge was accepted by John Morrison, looking to make a name for himself and the match was on..
Kurt Angle def. John Morrison (16:36) after a belly to belly suplex
AFTERSTORY: Angle picks up another win in a great match that saw Morrison push Angle's limits a bit. Angle and Morrison then shook hands. After the match, Angle promised big things are ahead for him in 2013.
PRESTORY: Two of the hottest free agent prospects signed by FPR made their debut in the beat the clock challenge for the women's championship. Those two were Ivelisse Velez and Arisa Nakajima, who debuted against one another. Both stars were instantly impressive but were not able to beat the clock, however the output delivered in the ring from both competitors had everyone craving more. So a rematch was signed to take place at Final Showdown.
Ivelisse Velez def. Arisa Nakajima (19:25) with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY: What a match! Ivelisse picks up the major victory and looks poised to launch herself into stardom as she moves up the ladder. Meanwhile, Nakajima was as impressive as ever even in defeat. She'll be sure to strive to keep herself in contention as well. It will certainly be interesting to see both women's careers grow in FPR.
PRESTORY: Two men that went at it in the Beat the Clock challenge were Brock Lesnar and Triple H. That match was an all out war with weapons abound that left a bloody Triple H in defeat. Lesnar didn't beat Triple H quick so his time didn't last long and the clock was beaten. As a result, The Game wanted revenge and challenged Brock to a rematch.
Brock Lesnar def. Triple H (17:46) with a powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: Reminiscent of their first match with Lesnar's victory and plenty of brawling around the ring. Triple H repaid Lesnar by busting him open but it wasn't enough to keep Brock down as he was able to put the Game away. Both men look to enter next month's Royal Battle in hopes of earning a title shot.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Chris Masters (16:23) via colossal clutch submission to RETAIN the championship!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Necro Butcher (9:48) with the running elbow drop to become the NEW Champion!
STORY: Necro's reign didn't last long and Abdullah is once again back on top of the Hardcore division. Abdullah beat the clock and then beat the champ to win the title. The fight wouldn't end there as Abdullah and Necro continued to brawl even after the bell had rung. They fought up the aisle where Mick Foley came out and joined in the chaos. The three of them brawled to the back while Raven's Flock were seen watching from the balcony area.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Kazushi Sakuraba via KO (punches) at 3:15 of round 1 to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY: The rivalry between Angel Blue and Mercedes Martinez has been ongoing for months. It all began back in September when Angel picked up a major pinfall over Mercedes in an eight woman tag match. Mercedes wasn't happy with that and demanded a rematch which she got at Halloween Havoc. There, Mercedes defeated Angel in a unforgettable encounter that caught everyone's attention. At Survival of the Sickest, Mercedes' team was victorious but it didn't settle anything between the two captains. As a result, Angel was now the one wanting a rematch and she got it at Eve of Destruction. Mercedes was once again victorious but Angel was even more impressive than their first bout, proving she could take it all and keep coming when she kicked out of the first fisherman's buster. Now, Angel Blue was vowing that she could and would defeat Mercedes. And so they were set for a 2/3 falls rematch at Final Showdown!
2/3 Falls Match: Angel Blue def. Mercedes Martinez (25:28) 2 falls to 1
*Mercedes pinned Angel (14:59) after a neckbreaker
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:49) after a lariat
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:20) with the Deja Blue
AFTERSTORY: This one was one of the all time great 2/3 falls match in FPR history! The first fall was on-par with the greatness of their last two bouts and Mercedes picked up the crucial fall but in the second fall, Angel battled back with a vengeance and scored the pin to force the rare third fall to take place. The two went back and forth for the final fall with Angel nailing an out of nowhere Deja Blue for the victory she has been after for quite some time. Angel celebrated the victory and was clearly elated to finally beat Mercedes one on one. Mercedes knew that Angel got her this time around and she also knew she picked up the first fall. Angel may have earned some of Mercedes' respect but one can assume this grudge is far from over. Angel left the ringside area with her arm raised in victory but in obvious pain as well. We can only look forward to what happens next between these two.
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Petey Williams (11:50) with the Styles Clash to RETAIN the championship!!
STORY: The beat the clock for the Junior division was an intense tough one but in the end it was Petey Williams beating the clock in the last match in the lineup to earn the shot. Petey put up a hell of a fight but in the end, Styles proved why he is the champion and finished off Petey with the Styles Clash. Styles is enjoying quite the reign as he looks ahead to the future, the Super J Cup looms in February which will decide the challenger for WrestleMania - a tournament which AJ Styles won in 2012.
PRESTORY: Kelly Kelly shocked the world when she took down Beth Phoenix in record time to beat the clock and truly earn women's championship shot against Victoria. Kelly had been vying for a shot for awhile now and she proved she deserved it, earning it over several other top challengers. Would this be Kelly's moment?
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Kelly Kelly (17:56) after a swinging neckbreaker to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Unfortunately for Kelly, her dreams were crushed by the eleven time champ. But it was not without a valiant fight. In fact, Victoria used the ropes en route to her victory. Kelly proved to be more of a challenge than perhaps expected and Victoria knew she'd have to pull out all stops to keep her title. Kelly proved to be tough but it wasn't enough to win the title this time around. Kelly will undoubtedly be looking for another shot but for now she'll have to resume fighting the top contenders. Meanwhile, Victoria's next title defense comes against Queen's Cup winner Daizee Haze, who has been on a major hot streak lately, at the Royal Battle.
PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu accomplished their year-long goal and became the new world tag team champions, ending the seemingly unstoppable reign of the Midnight Express. The celebration and the crowd reaction were massive. Now it was up to beat the clock to determine the new champs' first challengers. Unfortunately for the Midnight Express, they were unable to do it and in the last match of the set, it was the super team of Hulk Hogan & John Cena that took down the Horsemen members Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard to beat the clock. Hogan & Cena would surely be a major challenge for the new champs in their first defense and it all takes place at Final Showdown!
World Tag Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu (12:10) when Cena used the Attitude Adjustment on Power Warrior to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Controversy Abound!!! Just like that we have once again crowned new tag team champions in a shockingly quick ending to the first reign of Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu. But the whole match is mired in controversy. Towards the end of the match, the Horsemen's Arn & Tully began making their way to the ring. But they were quickly spotted by the challengers. Hulk & Cena went out to battle them. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the ring, the former champs Midnight Express hopped out of the crowd. They pulled Tenryu from the ring apron and threw him against the guard rail, then went into the ring and leveled Power Warrior with a steel chair and one of the tag team titles. Not knowing what had happened, Cena returned to the ring and hit the AA on Power Warrior to win the match and the titles! Arn & Tully were furious that their plan had gone awry while the Midnights have seemingly adopted the attitude that if they don't have the titles, then they'll make sure those who beat them don't either. Granted the Midnights would've been in line for a rematch had Power Warrior & Tenryu retained here but maybe revenge is the only thing on their minds now. Regardless, Warrior & Tenryu will now be getting their rematch at the Royal Battle while Arn & Tully have challenged the Midnights to a grudge match. It will be without a doubt an interesting night as the chaotic tag team scene heats up.
PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Marti Belle & Jazz overcame one of their toughest challenges to date against the Jumping Bomb Angels. But their obstacles wouldn't end there as perhaps an even tougher challenge would await. The lethal tandem of Madison Eagles & Kana beat the clock to earn the tag titles shot. Eagles wants gold and Kana wants redemption from her loss at Eve of Destruction. This match would certainly be a way for them both to be thrilled but the champions promised to put up the fight of their lives at Final Showdown!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def. Madison Eagles & Kana (24:20) when Jazz pinned Eagles after the Jazz Stinger to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The champions retained! Somehow, someway, they found a way to overcome the vicious challengers as Jazz nailed consecutive Jazz Stingers on Eagles to get the win. Eagles and Kana were in disbelief and enraged at the same time. Especially Kana, who shockingly suffers back to back defeats. Eagles & Kana have vowed to now earn another shot to try and become champions. It's also possible that Kana's mind was still on Eve of Destruction. Either way, they will have to earn their next shot in a contenders match at the Royal Battle. And it's just been announced that their opponents will be the team of Serena Deeb and Jessie McKay! That will be a match with a ton of heat going into it and it will be a must see battle!
PRESTORY: The Horsemen managed to beat the clock. Jeff Jarrett was able to earn a shot at the world title with a questionable ten minute victory over rival Big Bubba Rogers. The Horsemen used their tactics to ensure victory. They interfered in a couple of the other beat the clock matches to make sure things stayed the same. Not to mention perhaps their biggest obstacle was Bruiser Brody, who planned a return after a years long absence, but they jumped him in the parking lot to take him out of the equation. Jarrett's win granted the Horsemen what they had been after, a shot at one of the championships and it just so happened to be the top prize. A championship held by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has been seriously unbeatable as he celebrates one full year as champion and is poised to hold the longest reign in championship history very soon..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Jeff Jarrett (13:48) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: It bears repeating, Stone Cold Steve Austin is unbeatable. Jarrett gave it his all and hit the Stroke twice but it wasn't enough. Jarrett was stunnered and that was that for his championship aspirations. With Jarrett down and Austin standing tall, the rest of the Horsemen surrounded the ring. Out came new tag champions Hulk Hogan & John Cena to brawl to the back with Arn & Tully, leaving Flair & Windham at ringside. Then suddenly "Rocket" hit in the arena and out came Brian Pillman! Pillman nailed Windham with his Money in the Bank briefcase as Flair took off through the crowd. Pillman entered the ring and squared off with Austin before announcing he was going to do what the Horsemen could not do - defeat Stone Cold! Pillman declared he was cashing in his money in the bank title shot right now!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Brian Pillman (11:43) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: He can't be beat! After a war that left both men bloody, Ric Flair returned from the crowd and Windham regrouped at ringside to cause a distraction. That was all it took for Austin to nail the Stunner and end Pillman's dream that he had waited for all year long. Stone Cold has been champion for over 365 days and will be the longest reigning World champion in company history come Royal Battle. Pillman has announced his entry into the Royal Battle in hopes of winning another shot at Mania after he came so close here. Last WrestleMania was a banner night for Pillman winning two huge matches in one night and he hopes to duplicate that success. On the other hand, Flair has elected Windham to be the Horsemen representative in the Royal Battle with the rest of the participants to be determined. It will be an intriguing event to say the least! Final Showdown will be remembered as one of the most out of control and chaotic events in FPR history and a wild end to a fantastic year. 2013 will mark ten years of fire dating back to the origins as FPZ in June of 2003 and if 2012 is any representation, it will be another exciting year.
©Final Showdown 2012 the final event of the year. Things continue to heat up as FPR kicks off 2013 with the Royal Battle in late January!

It all began back in September when Angel picked up a major pinfall over Mercedes in an eight woman tag match. Mercedes wasn't happy with that and demanded a rematch which she got at Halloween Havoc. There, Mercedes defeated Angel in a unforgettable encounter that caught everyone's attention. At Survival of the Sickest, Mercedes' team was victorious but it didn't settle anything between the two captains. As a result, Angel was now the one wanting a rematch and she got it at Eve of Destruction. Mercedes was once again victorious but Angel was even more impressive than their first bout, proving she could take it all and keep coming when she kicked out of the first fisherman's buster. Now, Angel Blue was vowing that she could and would defeat Mercedes. And so they were set for a 2/3 falls rematch at Final Showdown!
2/3 Falls Match: Angel Blue def. Mercedes Martinez (25:28) 2 falls to 1
*Mercedes pinned Angel (14:59) after a neckbreaker
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:49) after a lariat
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:20) with the Deja Blue
AFTERSTORY: This one was one of the all time great 2/3 falls match in FPR history! The first fall was on-par with the greatness of their last two bouts and Mercedes picked up the crucial fall but in the second fall, Angel battled back with a vengeance and scored the pin to force the rare third fall to take place. The two went back and forth for the final fall with Angel nailing an out of nowhere Deja Blue for the victory she has been after for quite some time. Angel celebrated the victory and was clearly elated to finally beat Mercedes one on one. Mercedes knew that Angel got her this time around and she also knew she picked up the first fall. Angel may have earned some of Mercedes' respect but one can assume this grudge is far from over. Angel left the ringside area with her arm raised in victory but in obvious pain as well. We can only look forward to what happens next between these two.
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Petey Williams (11:50) with the Styles Clash to RETAIN the championship!!
STORY: The beat the clock for the Junior division was an intense tough one but in the end it was Petey Williams beating the clock in the last match in the lineup to earn the shot. Petey put up a hell of a fight but in the end, Styles proved why he is the champion and finished off Petey with the Styles Clash. Styles is enjoying quite the reign as he looks ahead to the future, the Super J Cup looms in February which will decide the challenger for WrestleMania - a tournament which AJ Styles won in 2012.
PRESTORY: Kelly Kelly shocked the world when she took down Beth Phoenix in record time to beat the clock and truly earn women's championship shot against Victoria. Kelly had been vying for a shot for awhile now and she proved she deserved it, earning it over several other top challengers. Would this be Kelly's moment?
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Kelly Kelly (17:56) after a swinging neckbreaker to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: Unfortunately for Kelly, her dreams were crushed by the eleven time champ. But it was not without a valiant fight. In fact, Victoria used the ropes en route to her victory. Kelly proved to be more of a challenge than perhaps expected and Victoria knew she'd have to pull out all stops to keep her title. Kelly proved to be tough but it wasn't enough to win the title this time around. Kelly will undoubtedly be looking for another shot but for now she'll have to resume fighting the top contenders. Meanwhile, Victoria's next title defense comes against Queen's Cup winner Daizee Haze, who has been on a major hot streak lately, at the Royal Battle.
PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu accomplished their year-long goal and became the new world tag team champions, ending the seemingly unstoppable reign of the Midnight Express. The celebration and the crowd reaction were massive. Now it was up to beat the clock to determine the new champs' first challengers. Unfortunately for the Midnight Express, they were unable to do it and in the last match of the set, it was the super team of Hulk Hogan & John Cena that took down the Horsemen members Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard to beat the clock. Hogan & Cena would surely be a major challenge for the new champs in their first defense and it all takes place at Final Showdown!
World Tag Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu (12:10) when Cena used the Attitude Adjustment on Power Warrior to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY: Controversy Abound!!! Just like that we have once again crowned new tag team champions in a shockingly quick ending to the first reign of Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu. But the whole match is mired in controversy. Towards the end of the match, the Horsemen's Arn & Tully began making their way to the ring. But they were quickly spotted by the challengers. Hulk & Cena went out to battle them. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the ring, the former champs Midnight Express hopped out of the crowd. They pulled Tenryu from the ring apron and threw him against the guard rail, then went into the ring and leveled Power Warrior with a steel chair and one of the tag team titles. Not knowing what had happened, Cena returned to the ring and hit the AA on Power Warrior to win the match and the titles! Arn & Tully were furious that their plan had gone awry while the Midnights have seemingly adopted the attitude that if they don't have the titles, then they'll make sure those who beat them don't either. Granted the Midnights would've been in line for a rematch had Power Warrior & Tenryu retained here but maybe revenge is the only thing on their minds now. Regardless, Warrior & Tenryu will now be getting their rematch at the Royal Battle while Arn & Tully have challenged the Midnights to a grudge match. It will be without a doubt an interesting night as the chaotic tag team scene heats up.
PRESTORY: At Eve of Destruction, Marti Belle & Jazz overcame one of their toughest challenges to date against the Jumping Bomb Angels. But their obstacles wouldn't end there as perhaps an even tougher challenge would await. The lethal tandem of Madison Eagles & Kana beat the clock to earn the tag titles shot. Eagles wants gold and Kana wants redemption from her loss at Eve of Destruction. This match would certainly be a way for them both to be thrilled but the champions promised to put up the fight of their lives at Final Showdown!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def. Madison Eagles & Kana (24:20) when Jazz pinned Eagles after the Jazz Stinger to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY: The champions retained! Somehow, someway, they found a way to overcome the vicious challengers as Jazz nailed consecutive Jazz Stingers on Eagles to get the win. Eagles and Kana were in disbelief and enraged at the same time. Especially Kana, who shockingly suffers back to back defeats. Eagles & Kana have vowed to now earn another shot to try and become champions. It's also possible that Kana's mind was still on Eve of Destruction. Either way, they will have to earn their next shot in a contenders match at the Royal Battle. And it's just been announced that their opponents will be the team of Serena Deeb and Jessie McKay! That will be a match with a ton of heat going into it and it will be a must see battle!
PRESTORY: The Horsemen managed to beat the clock. Jeff Jarrett was able to earn a shot at the world title with a questionable ten minute victory over rival Big Bubba Rogers. The Horsemen used their tactics to ensure victory. They interfered in a couple of the other beat the clock matches to make sure things stayed the same. Not to mention perhaps their biggest obstacle was Bruiser Brody, who planned a return after a years long absence, but they jumped him in the parking lot to take him out of the equation. Jarrett's win granted the Horsemen what they had been after, a shot at one of the championships and it just so happened to be the top prize. A championship held by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has been seriously unbeatable as he celebrates one full year as champion and is poised to hold the longest reign in championship history very soon..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Jeff Jarrett (13:48) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: It bears repeating, Stone Cold Steve Austin is unbeatable. Jarrett gave it his all and hit the Stroke twice but it wasn't enough. Jarrett was stunnered and that was that for his championship aspirations. With Jarrett down and Austin standing tall, the rest of the Horsemen surrounded the ring. Out came new tag champions Hulk Hogan & John Cena to brawl to the back with Arn & Tully, leaving Flair & Windham at ringside. Then suddenly "Rocket" hit in the arena and out came Brian Pillman! Pillman nailed Windham with his Money in the Bank briefcase as Flair took off through the crowd. Pillman entered the ring and squared off with Austin before announcing he was going to do what the Horsemen could not do - defeat Stone Cold! Pillman declared he was cashing in his money in the bank title shot right now!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Brian Pillman (11:43) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: He can't be beat! After a war that left both men bloody, Ric Flair returned from the crowd and Windham regrouped at ringside to cause a distraction. That was all it took for Austin to nail the Stunner and end Pillman's dream that he had waited for all year long. Stone Cold has been champion for over 365 days and will be the longest reigning World champion in company history come Royal Battle. Pillman has announced his entry into the Royal Battle in hopes of winning another shot at Mania after he came so close here. Last WrestleMania was a banner night for Pillman winning two huge matches in one night and he hopes to duplicate that success. On the other hand, Flair has elected Windham to be the Horsemen representative in the Royal Battle with the rest of the participants to be determined. It will be an intriguing event to say the least! Final Showdown will be remembered as one of the most out of control and chaotic events in FPR history and a wild end to a fantastic year. 2013 will mark ten years of fire dating back to the origins as FPZ in June of 2003 and if 2012 is any representation, it will be another exciting year.
©Final Showdown 2012 the final event of the year. Things continue to heat up as FPR kicks off 2013 with the Royal Battle in late January!

Serena Deeb, who scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout. Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was confident and determined.

Serena followed up with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief. Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be happier with the victory. What a feeling!

After the match, Alex Shelley & Dean Malenko rushed the ring to spoil AJ's celebration. Shelley and Malenko put the boots to Styles after an ambush from behind. Aries got back to his feet and joined them. The trio posed with their arms raised until Sin Cara came to the ring with Rey Mysterio. Aries, Shelley, and Malenko bailed as they checked on Styles in the ring. The junior division continues to heat up as all will be vying to beat the clock to earn the next shot at AJ's championship.
PRESTORY: The Guerrero Cup tag team tournament culminated with Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu emerging the victors. Their whirlwind year had found them at another shot at the tag team championships held by the Midnight Express.

After a close back and forth fight, it was Power Warrior's lariat that knocked Bobby Eaton silly and put him down for the count. The crowd erupted in cheers for the new champions. They couldn't ask for a better last two months after Power Warrior's unforgettable Survival of the Sickest comeback, the tag tournament win and now capturing the gold.

AFTERSTORY: This time, Athena was successful! Athena took down Beth for a major victory for herself. Now it will be up to beating the clock to see who earns the next shot at the women's championship but Athena will for sure remain in the title hunt in the coming months.
PRESTORY: After a dominating performance at Survival of the Sickest from Kevin Randleman, Bob Sapp agreed to give him a title shot for securing his team the victory..

PRESTORY: The women's tag title scene has been hot for the last several months. Marti Belle & Jazz regained the titles at Halloween Havoc while the Jumping Bomb Angels became #1 contenders. The JBAs made an impressive statement at Survival of the Sickest being victorious. Now the Bomb Angels would get their shot at the reigning champions. Could the original women's tag team finally become champions or would the champions prove their worth with a successful defense over one of their toughest challenges to date?

AFTERSTORY: What a battle! Marti & Jazz retain the championships in a back and forth encounter that could've gone either way. The Bomb Angels came close on several occasions but Belle & Jazz excelled in their teamwork to overcome the immense challenge.
PRESTORY: Last month at Survival of the Sickest, we witnessed an even more vicious side of Kana. Kana brutalized her archrival Gail Kim with three kicks to the head that knocked her back out of action and then avenged her first defeat by knocking Ayako Hamada out as well. Serena Deeb, who scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout. Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was confident and determined. Jessie McKay would accompany Deeb to the ring for her showdown with Kana that would take place at Eve of Destruction. Serena was focused and determined while Kana was poised to maintain her mean streak for what promised to be a memorable matchup.
Serena Deeb (w/ Jessie McKay) def. Kana (12:41) after an elbow to the face
AFTERSTORY: Serena did it! Against all odds with an inspirational performance, Serena put up a valiant fight against Kana and caught everyone by surprise by defeating Kana decisively! After Kana controlled the majority of the match, Serena mounted a major comeback and just kept coming. Serena threw everything she had and eventually connected with a superplex that left Kana dazed. As Kana slowly returned to her feet, Serena drilled her with one perfectly timed elbow right to the face that dropped Kana in a heap to the mat as the final blow. Serena followed up with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief. Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be happier with the victory. What a feeling!
PRESTORY: Victoria has had a great last several months as she became a record 11 time women's champion winning the title back from Chyna at Halloween Havoc. After a dominating performance at Survival of the Sickest from the champ, she would give Chyna her rematch at Eve of Destruction.
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Chyna (11:26) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: The domination continues as Victoria decisively retains the gold. Now it will be up to whomever beats the clock to be the next challenger and there is a long list of challengers with everyone gunning for Victoria including upcoming debuts.
PRESTORY: Earlier tonight, Austin Aries defeated Jeff Hardy to earn the right to challenge AJ Styles for the Junior Championship in the night's semi-main event. A shot that Aries felt he was owed since losing the title in a triple threat match at Cyber Saturday. Aries was unable to get the shot at Halloween Havoc and found himself fighting it out with the division at Survival of the Sickest. Now he was determined to shoot straight back to the top. Only the champion AJ Styles stood in his way. Now the two would face off in a blockbuster contest!
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Austin Aries (15:01) after a sitdown dominator to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: AJ Styles hangs on to the championship! Styles proves his initial win was no fluke by putting down Aries clean in the center of the ring in a spectacular match that saw both men put it all on the line. Aries landed a 450 across the back while Styles connected the Spiral Tap only for Aries to reach the ropes. In the end Styles was able to drop Aries in the center for the win. After the match, Alex Shelley & Dean Malenko rushed the ring to spoil AJ's celebration. Shelley and Malenko put the boots to Styles after an ambush from behind. Aries got back to his feet and joined them. The trio posed with their arms raised until Sin Cara came to the ring with Rey Mysterio. Aries, Shelley, and Malenko bailed as they checked on Styles in the ring. The junior division continues to heat up as all will be vying to beat the clock to earn the next shot at AJ's championship.
PRESTORY: The Guerrero Cup tag team tournament culminated with Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu emerging the victors. Their whirlwind year had found them at another shot at the tag team championships held by the Midnight Express. It would be their third shot after their first came from winning the Real World Tag League back in May and a rematch earned in September. The Midnights bested them twice and continued their dominant reign while it looked like P-Warrior & Tenryu's quest had finished. However now at the end of the year, they've battled back through everything for one more shot! The Midnight Express would have to prepare for another enormous challenge while the challengers geared up for a make or break situation. It all came down to this, a blockbuster tag team title defense in the main event of Eve of Destruction!
World Tag Team Championships Match: Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu def. The Midnight Express (17:42) when Power Warrior pinned Eaton after a lariat to become the NEW CHAMPIONS!!!
AFTERSTORY: What a way to cap off their year! Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu finally did what they had been unable to do and that was defeat the Midnight Express to capture the FPR World Tag Team Championships. They had defeated practically everyone imaginable after coming out on top in a 64 team league and now a 32 team tournament that there is no doubt they earned and deserved this moment. After a close back and forth fight, it was Power Warrior's lariat that knocked Bobby Eaton silly and put him down for the count. The crowd erupted in cheers for the new champions. They couldn't ask for a better last two months after Power Warrior's unforgettable Survival of the Sickest comeback, the tag tournament win and now capturing the gold. After the match, the Road Warriors and others hit the ring to join the celebration, holding up the new champions who proudly raised their newly-won championships. The Midnights were out of it on the outside and now the first challengers will be determined via beat the clock for Final Showdown. Pyros exploded for the celebration of the new champions with the closing shot of Power Warrior & Tenryu posing with the gold. Hellraiser!
©FPR Eve of Destruction 2012. FPR's next event will be Final Showdown this coming weekend and will feature all championships on the line as Beat the Clock challenges in the next few days will determine the challengers! Final Showdown will close out the year as FPR heads into 2013 marking 10 years since it all began as FPZ. Final Showdown will promise to be a major way to finish the year as always!

No one understood Rain's motives when she remained on the apron for the first half of the match without saving her partners or getting involved in outside brawls. But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.
PRESTORY: Hardcore Deathmatch champ Mick Foley teams up with #1 contender Necro Butcher, former champ Abdullah the Butcher, and Foley's sometimes partner, sometimes enemy Terry Funk.

In the end, the audience was getting behind Kanemura trying to will him into an upset as he continued to battle but in the end, he fell to a low blow. Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.
PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes
AFTERSTORY: Craft got the big win to prove herself to Claudia. As soon as the match was over, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and they embraced. They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

Daizee & Meiko recruited Queen's Cup standout Ayumi Kurihara and the legendary Manami Toyota to complete their team. Mariko comprised her team of the debuting Nanae Takahashi, the always dangerous Yumi Ohka, and the returning Takako Inoue. A strong lineup promised a spectacular match!

Ultimately, Yoshida was still not able to gain one up on Haze or Satomura as they were the ones celebrating in victory.
PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.

PRESTORY: The Halloween Havoc bout between Mercedes Martinez and Angel Blue was a classic that elevated both women to a higher level. It led to Survival of the Sickest where the two would form teams to face off against one another.

Angel is not taking the loss lightly and has sworn she isn't done with Mercedes quite yet. Meanwhile, the Beautiful People were in disbelief over their loss considering it was they who delivered a clean sweep in last year's semi-main event. TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: With Junior Champion AJ Styles not scheduled for action on this night, he issued an open challenge for anyone to come out and face him..
Special Challenge Match: Jeff Hardy def. AJ Styles (14:52) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: The challenge was answered and overcome by Jeff Hardy! A spectacular back and forth match that could've gone either way with several near falls sees Hardy pin the junior champ. Hardy's victory will shoot him to right near the top of the heap in the rankings of the junior division.
PRESTORY: Marti Belle and Jazz have been battling to hold on to the women's tag team championships. They lost and quickly regained the titles from Trish Stratus and Lita while the Jumping Bomb Angels have been climbing the ranks.

PRESTORY: The unstoppable Midnight Express would join up with associates Dennis Condrey & Dr. Death to go to war with one of their biggest longtime rivals Genichiro Tenryu and the Power Warrior, who would team up with the Road Warriors for Survival of the Sickest. Tenryu & Power Warrior have been wanting one more shot at the Midnights while the Road Warriors would like to earn a shot themselves. This would be a big chance to prove themselves before the upcoming tag team tournament in December.
Elimination 8 Man Tag Team Match: Hawk, Animal, Power Warrior, & Genichiro Tenryu def. Stan Lane, Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey, & Dr. Death (39:32) 4 falls to 3

Despite being in a 3 on 1 situation, he persevered and took down the tag team champions in the end. It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.
PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory. Former champ Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, and Alex Shelley all put a beating on Rey until he was saved by Billy Kidman, Sin Cara, and Prince Devitt. A Survival of the Sickest match was in the making and to even out, longtime rival of Rey and Sin Cara, Dean Malenko joined up with the opposition for a blockbuster eight man tag!

A truly amazing performance put forth here and it won't be the last time we see groups of these eight in the ring again.
PRESTORY: Last month was all Victoria's as she once again found her way back to the women's championship to become a record 11 time champion. Victoria won the title from the freshly debuted Chyna and would now lead a team against her. Victoria formed her team with Beth Phoenix, on-again off-again partner/enemy Angelina Love and she managed to convince the always volatile Amazing Kong to finalize her team. Chyna's team would consist of former champ Athena who is determined to become champion again and top contenders Nevaeh & Kelly Kelly.
Elimination 8 Woman Tag Team Match: Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Angelina Love, & Amazing Kong def. Chyna, Athena, Nevaeh, & Kelly Kelly (44:53) 4 falls to 0

PRESTORY: The Horsemen's rivalry with Brian Pillman and Big Bubba Rogers has been raging for quite some time now and Survival of the Sickest would promise a showdown of two sides. Ric Flair led his Horsemen team of Windham, Jarrett, and Tully with Arn Anderson shouting encouragment from ringside into battle against Pillman & Big Bubba and their selected partners, Hulk Hogan and John Cena! Pillman chose Hogan knowing his history with the Horsemen while Hogan himself suggested Cena, saying he saw a spark in him in their match at Cyber Saturday. Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest. Of course that was a different incarnation of the group and now Pillman was on Cena's side. The Horsemen have kept things interesting all year and now everything has led to this battleground.

*Cena eliminated Jarrett (41:47) via STF submission
Survivors: Brian Pillman, Big Bubba Rogers, Hulk Hogan, & John Cena
AFTERSTORY: Much like last year, only over a longer period of time, John Cena wiped out the Horsemen! It looks like Hulk Hogan was right about the choice to pick Cena for their team. Needless to say, the Horsemen have not been happy coming out of the event and they're already looking to come up with ways for retribution.
PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules. The match was considered a real main event of the show as the two teams of four that have been going at it all year prepared for battle once more. Kana, Madison Eagles, Sara Del Rey, and Tomoka Nakagawa vs Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay would happen at Survival of the Sickest!

*Kana eliminated Deeb (30:25) via heel hook submission
*Kana eliminated McKay (31:20) via heel hook submission

AFTERSTORY: Kana is absolutely deadly. She came in with a specific gameplan and thatw as her aim was to once again take out her nemesis Gail Kim, who she injured back in September, and to take out Ayako Hamada, who handed Kana her first defeat at the Ultimate Encounter. Kana did both those things with vicious head kicks that knocked Gail and Hamada right out. Serena Deeb was able to get one huge elimination in on Eagles before also falling to Kana followed by McKay. The end result was Kana, Del Rey, Nakagawa, and Eagles leaving as the winners, much like they left War Games. Unhappy about the way Gail and Hamada went down, Serena has made the brave decision to challenge Kana to a singles match at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: Despite two decisive victories for Stone Cold, CM Punk continued to claim that he could defeat Austin. Punk declared he would lead a team at Survival of the Sickest against an Austin-led team where if Punk's team won then he would get one more shot at the world title. Punk chose Sid and Chris Jericho for his team, two men that have history with Austin, especially Jericho. Punk promised a mystery final partner that he ended up revealing as Brock Lesnar. Austin's team would consist of himself and three former FPR World Champions - Triple H, the Rock, and the Undertaker. A lot on the line in the Survival of the Sickest finale!
Elimination 8 Man Tag Team Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Rock, & The Undertaker def. CM Punk, Sid, Chris Jericho, & Brock Lesnar (21:23) 4 falls to 0

Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.

They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday.

It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future.

PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory.

Pillman chose Hogan knowing his history with the Horsemen while Hogan himself suggested Cena, saying he saw a spark in him in their match at Cyber Saturday. Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest.

Needless to say, the Horsemen have not been happy coming out of the event and they're already looking to come up with ways for retribution.
PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules. The match was considered a real main event of the show as the two teams of four that have been going at it all year prepared for battle once more. Kana, Madison Eagles, Sara Del Rey, and Tomoka Nakagawa vs Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay would happen at Survival of the Sickest!

Kana did both those things with vicious head kicks that knocked Gail and Hamada right out. Serena Deeb was able to get one huge elimination in on Eagles before also falling to Kana followed by McKay. The end result was Kana, Del Rey, Nakagawa, and Eagles leaving as the winners, much like they left War Games. Unhappy about the way Gail and Hamada went down, Serena has made the brave decision to challenge Kana to a singles match at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: Despite two decisive victories for Stone Cold, CM Punk continued to claim that he could defeat Austin. Punk declared he would lead a team at Survival of the Sickest against an Austin-led team where if Punk's team won then he would get one more shot at the world title. Punk chose Sid and Chris Jericho for his team, two men that have history with Austin, especially Jericho. Punk promised a mystery final partner that he ended up revealing as Brock Lesnar. Austin's team would consist of himself and three former FPR World Champions - Triple H, the Rock, and the Undertaker. A lot on the line in the Survival of the Sickest finale!
