FRONTLINE WRESTLING PRESENTS
THE GARDEN CITY OF GOOD AND EVIL
February 12, 2012
hosted by joey styles and joel gertner
special guest host: chris rock
ring announcer: bob artese
referees: jim molineaux & rudy charles
Champions heading in:
Kenta Kobashi - FLW Medal of Honor champion
Arn Anderson / CW Anderson - FLW United Forces champions
Kevin Steen - FLW Paschendale champion
-We're LIVE from the Nassau Coliseum as we join Joey Styles and Joel Gertner in the middle of the ring for the introduction to tonight's festivities. Joel is about to do his usual limerick schtick, but "No Sex in the Champagne Room" cues up, bringing out Chris Rock. Rock makes fun of Gertner a little bit before telling him and Joey to just go down and do what they do best. Rock does a brief party mix of some of his more well-known stand-up bits (convenient leaving out the "black people vs. n-words" one, mind you), and cue the video package.
-The video mostly focuses on the Cactus Jack/Randy Orton main event, chronicling how Orton cost Jack the FLW Medal of Honor title two months ago to Kenta Kobashi, attacked Jack's family at ringside one night (including an attempted RKO on
Dewey, of all people, that was stopped by security and Jack running out for the save), and just generally made each other's life a living hell. It shows AJ Styles winning the one-night tournament a month back, pinning Satoshi Kojima in the finals, to earn the right to challenge Kobashi tonight for the MoH championship, and brief snippets of the uber-serious MMA-style training and interview montages both sides have shown in the last few weeks. Everything else is touched upon briefly, though a big focal point being on the "Extreme vs. Ultraviolence" feud and its escalating level of violence leading to tonight's Cage of Death: Ultimate War match was a great touch (especially how it started as just Tommy Dreamer -v- Joker for a shot at Kevin Steen's Paschendale title and then continued to escalate over the past two months).

TAG TEAM THREE WAY DANCE TO DETERMINE THE #1 CONTENDERS FOR THE FLW UNITED FORCES TITLES
The Rottweilers (LowKi / Homicide) -v- Wall Street (EZ Money / Chris Ca$h) -v- The Backseat Boyz (Trent Acid / Jonny Kashmere)
One person from each team is legal at any time, the usual FLW United Forces apply (tags must be made for the first 10 minutes, elimination rules in play, and a buzzer sounds at the 10:00 mark to let all participants know that they're now legal), and it's Ki/Money/Kashmere starting off. There's a bit of a comedy spot by Kashmere as he gets Ki and Money to focus on each other as he dances in the BSB corner, drawing their ire, but manages to fend them off via some interesting Bugs Bunny-style bob-and-weave. Acid's tagged in, Yakuza Kick to Ki gets 1, Yakuza Kick to Money gets 2, and he tells Ki where to stick it. Big mistake. Ki WALLOPS him with a Koppo Kick, sending him to the floor. Ca$h is tagged in and takes Acid out with a huge topé con giro, prompting Ki to tag Homicide in to do the same to both Ca$h and Acid on the floor. Back in and Homicide gets Ca$h up top, but Acid rushes in with knees to the back that sends Homicide onto the apron. Acid Bomb is blocked by Ca$h, he goes for an inverted Tornado DDT out of the corner, but Kashmere clubs him from behind, allowing Acid to nail the Acid Bomb and send Ca$h packing at 5:21.
EZ comes in and Acid tags out to Kashmere, who immediately gets hit with the handspring back elbow, a SWANK LygerBomb, and then finished off with the Cha-Ching to get eliminated at 6:09. Acid comes back in, bewildered, and Homicide wrecks him via surprise Ace Crusher before tagging out to Ki, who just goes NUTS on both Acid and EZ with kicks. Tidal Krush to EZ, Acid whips Ki into the ropes, TIDAL WAVE TO ACID FOR 2! LowKi calls for the Ki Krusher on Acid, Trent reverses it into a German for 2, Ki into the ropes and Acid back body drops him onto the apron...DRAGON CLUTCH THROUGH THE ROPES as EZ drops some fists into Acid's ribs. Ki breaks it up and goes up top, but EZ stops him dead in his tracks...AVALANCHE CHA-CHING!!! LowKi is eliminated at 8:56.
Homicide comes in and immediately works over EZ, nailing a Sliding D for 2, but he doesn't have much time to breathe before Acid nails him with a VICIOUS Backdrop Suplex for 2.9! Trent lines it up...YAKUZA KICK TO EZ MONEY!!! He's out at 10:32, leaving Homicide and Acid alone. Trent gloats and works 'Cide over a bit with a chinlock and a surfboard, but the Tumbleweed misses...ALLOWING HOMICIDE TO DRILL HIM WITH A LARIAT AND THEN DROP HIM WITH THE COP KILLAH FOR THE 3-COUNT!!!
Winners: The Rottweilers at 13:44.
-Brief interview rolls from LuFisto about how she was never friends with the cheerleaders when she was a kid, so she turned to wrestling because she was always good at fighting. She emphasizes how she's been in deathmatches with Team Ultraviolence, brawls with women bigger than Melissa, and has the scars to prove it, but none of that is good enough to get anything beyond a look of disgust whenever their paths cross. Tonight? LuFisto's going to make it so the only look Melissa will ever be able to give her again is one of fear.
-
LuFisto -v- Cheerleader Melissa
Right away, LuFisto charges in with right hands, making good on her promises from the pre-match promo. Gertner: "Have you ever noticed how it's always the prettier of the two girls who gets fisted first?" Melissa counters with some big rights of her own, but a spinebuster into the corner gets no-sold as Melissa walks away mocking LuFisto, making part of the crowd pop big when LuFisto hits a release German into the corner for 2.5. LuFisto immediately goes for a Death Valley Bomb, but Melissa blocks it and looks for the Kudo Driver, but LuFisto reverses that into a school
boygirl for 2. DDT by LuFisto is blocked by Melissa into a Northen Lights Suplex for 2, and Melissa goes on the offense immediately. Some wicked knees to the head are followed by a sit-out powerbomb for 2, and that's switched right over into a Half Crab, but LuFisto makes the ropes. Melissa gets her into a Camel Clutch and fish hooks her cheeks and nose before hitting some crossface punches, and LuFisto's nose starts gushing after one of them. CURB STOMP!! Melissa starts to cover but pulls her up at 2.9, looking for the Kudo Driver again, but once more LuFisto reverses into a school
boygirl for 2. Melissa kicks out, LuFisto planned it, and CHOP/JAB FLURRY BACKING MELISSA INTO THE CORNER...DEATH VALLEY BOMB!!!
Winner: LuFisto at 9:02.
-Joey points out that the Cage of Death is hovering above the ring as Gertner talks about how that environment favors neither team due to how innovative Team Extreme has always been with their violence and how sadistic and twisted Team Ultraviolence has always been.
-Cut to the back to Chris Rock's dressing room, and he's hanging out with New Jack. They trade a few jokes back and forth, but that gets interrupted when Kevin Steen barges in and slaps Jack across the face. They trade shots and exit, allowing ODERUS URUNGUS to sleaze his way in. Rock is completely perplexed as to how he even got into the building wearing a thong with his "man-thing" hanging out, and Oderus calmly explains that he slaughtered the security at the West Garage so that he could come here and entertain these "foolish mammal scum" and "get some crack off of New Jack."
-Back to ringside where Joey and Joel discuss the rest of the card, and New Jack and Steen brawl through the curtain and onto the ramp, unofficially starting their Weapons Match.
-
WEAPONS MATCH FOR THE FLW PASCHENDALE TITLE
Kevin Steen (c) -v- New Jack
They trade punches at the top of the ramp, they trade punches walking down the ramp, Steen slams Jack's head into the steps, Jack hits Steen low, they trade punches back up the ramp, and then Steen kicks Jack low before hitting the Package Piledriver OFF THE TOP OF THE RAMP THROUGH A MERCHANDISE TABLE BELOW!!! Steen crawls away and pulls himself to his feet, laughing hysterically, and Jack isn't moving, so Jim Molineaux calls it a No Contest.
Winner: No Contest at 5:43.
-EMTs rush out and Jack's carted off, all as Kevin Steen verbally abuses security and some "lucky" fans. Joey calls Steen a maniac. Gertner chimes in with "and he's fighting like he's never fought before!" Joey, appropriately, calls out Gertner on his bad joke.
-A video package airs about how Shane McMahon brought Justin Credible into FLW to help him gain control of the championships alongside Randy Orton and the Andersons with Justin aiming for the Paschendale title. Slow-motion cue as Steen drops Justin off the apron with a Package Piledriver through a table to retain the Paschendale title from a month ago, and then Shane McMahon the next week firing Credible in the middle of the ring.
-Live promo with Justin Credible, breathing heavily (as he always does for emphasis on "important" matches), talking about how he can't wait to run through whoever Shane McMahon's brought into FLW so that he can get his hands on Shane. He talks about how Shane still owes him half of the money guaranteed when he signed with him, and how he can't wait to see the look on the face of Shane-o-Mac Daddy's latest slave when he has to deal with not just the coolest, not just the best, but Justin...SANEWITHANGER.
-Shane McMahon's limo pulls up in the parking lot and Oderus Urungus rushes up with a microphone to interview him. Shane steps out, a man wearing a full hooded robe with a black mask covering his face after him, and Oderus goes to shut the door...but Vanilla Ice steps out after! Oderus asks what Vanilla's doing there, Ice explains that he and Shane McMahon are old friends, and then Ice asks what kind of a man dresses like that. Oderus rips into Vanilla pretty brutally with some jokes concerning "extremely late-term abortions" and various venereal diseases that he insinuates Vanilla Ice must have gotten from MC Hammer alone, and Ice gives Oderus a shove and kicks him in the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu (the phallic portion of his attire). Oderus no-sells, laughs, and Ice brushes him off, following Shane and his mystery man.
-
UNITED FORCES MATCH FOR THE FLW UNITED FORCES CHAMPIONSHIP
The Andersons (Arn Anderson / CW Anderson) (c) -v- Ten-Ji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan / Satoshi Kojima)
Prior to the match, Shane McMahon escorted the Andersons halfway down the ramp before going back up, saying he had to make sure his affairs were in order. Tenzan and Arn to start, and they stall a bit as Arn plays to the crowd, getting them riled up. They do some brief chain wrestling before Arn takes him down with a snapmare and works over the neck with a chinlock and some knees. Tag to CW, who immediately throws some big rights into Tenzan's neck. Off the ropes, CW looks for a powerslam, but Tenzan lands on his feet and chops the hell out of him. Tag to Kojima, and Satoshi takes CW down and starts working on his leg. Kneebar applied, but CW makes the ropes to force the break. Arn distracts the ref, allowing CW to hit him low, and Arn gets tagged in, immediately working on Kojima's lower back with a nice backbreaker and then a bow-and-arrow variation.
5 minutes pass, and Arn drops Kojima with a Belly-to-Belly for 2 before tagging out to CW, saying "we need to get one of them out soon." CW nails Kojima with a Fisherman's Buster for 2, and then looks for the Anderson Spinebuster...but Kojima reverses it into the Koji Cutter! 1...2...NO!! Satoshi tags out to Tenzan, who DOMINATES CW with brutal chops and forearms, sending him down with a powerbomb. Jacknife pin gets 2, Tenzan whips CW into the Anderson corner and says he wants Arn. Arn obliges, and it's a pretty stiff slugfest before Tenzan drops Arn to his knees with a double Mongolian Chop. Another one sends Arn to the canvas, allowing Tenzan to hit a diving headbutt for 2.
1 minute remains until tags are no longer required, and both men really start cranking out the roll-ups, trading 2-counts galore. CW with the blind tag, Tenzan drops Arn with a brainbuster and goes for the Anaconda Vise, but CW clocks him with a surprise superkick just as the buzzer sounds, allowing Kojima to lariat him out of his boots to the floor. Satoshi follows him out and they trade shots around ringside as Tenzan looks for the Anaconda Vise again, but Arn gets his feet on the ropes, forcing the break. Kojima sends CW into the guardrail, but gets back body dropped into the crowd when he charges for another lariat, sending security swarming. Tenzan looks for the TTD, but Arn counters it into an inside cradle for 2.9. CW in, and the Andersons double up on Tenzan, looking to set up their spinebuster/neckbreaker finish that they refuse to name, but Kojima hooks his own partner when he's sent off the ropes so they can't do it.
The match turns into a full-on sprint of Tenzan and Kojima stiffing the hell out of the Andersons before they get out-wrestled, with the Andersons scoring a series of near-falls thanks to roll-ups and actual
wrestling. Kojima sends CW out to the floor and Tenzan looks for the TTD again, but Arn hooks the ropes and breaks free, nailing Tenzan with the Anderson Spinebuster into the corner before another Anderson Spinebuster to the mat sends Tenzan packing at 14:21.
CW and Arn toy with Kojima, focusing on his lower back again. CW suplexes Kojima over Arn's knee for a 2.9-count, Arn nails Kojima with a Samoan Drop over CW's knees in a sort of Lungblower-fashion for another 2.9, and the Andersons are fuming that Kojima won't stay down. CW goes to the floor and looks for a chair, allowing Arn to look for a DDT, but Kojima twists out of it...KOJI CUTTER SENDS ARN PACKING AT 18:43!
CW drops the chair on the floor and immediately nails Kojima with the Waterwheel Suplex, drills him with a Superkick when he gets back up, and then snaps off a short powerbomb for 2! CW starts getting furious that Satoshi is still around and looks for his own Anderson Spinebuster, but Kojima hooks the ropes when he's whipped in and then nails a charging CW with a BRUTAL lariat for 2.9!! Both men up, Kojima favoring his back as CW's eyes roll in his head, and a Koji Cutter is reversed into a quick backbreaker before CW nails an enzu-Superkick, sending Kojima into the corner, and plants him with a German suplex for the win.
Winners: And still FLW United Forces champions, the Andersons at 22:09.
-Post-match, both teams shake hands to an applause from the crowd, with Ten-Ji pointing to the United Forces belts and signifying that they'll hold them one day.
-Backstage, Oderus Urungus is with Kevin Steen, and he asks him why Steen felt it necessary to cut off his crack supply that evening. Steen looks Oderus up and down, kicks him in the Cuttlefish, and then blows him a kiss before he walks away, saying "because I felt like it" as he does so.
-Joey and Joel let us know that we'll be privy to a video package as the Cage of Death lowers and is set up, and then it rolls.

December 21, 2011

-Spike Dudley blindsides Jun Kasai after a losing effort to AJ Styles, giving him the Acid Drop several times (Joey Styles: "He's taken the Acid Drop so many times tonight that he'll be having flashbacks when he meets St. Peter!"), and stands his ground as the rest of Team Ultraviolence show up, allowing NEW JACK and THE PITBULLS to come out and clean house to save their "special" friend.
January 4, 2012
-Dreamer/Spike/New Jack -v- Mondo/Joker/Younger is thrown out when the Pitbulls brawl to ringside with MASADA/Kasai, leading to absolute chaos until Kevin Steen strolls in between everybody.

CAGE OF DEATH: THE ULTIMATE WAR; WINNING TEAM EACH RECEIVES A SHOT AT THE FLW PASCHENDALE TITLE
Team Extreme (Tommy Dreamer / Spike Dudley / Axl Rotten / Pitbull #1 / Pitbull #2) -v- Team Ultraviolence (Jun Kasai / Nick Mondo / MASADA / Drake Younger / Joker)
Joey Styles explains that Kevin Steen has been barred from even exiting his locker room until the end of the match due to the stakes he has riding on the bout, and Bob Artese lets everybody know that the only way to win is by pinfall or submission once every participant has entered, along with 5 minutes for the first two and each entrance after that being 2 minutes apart. Tommy Dreamer enters first and inspects the cage itself, noticing the 15-feet difference between the top of the cage of the canvas, as well as walking slowly around the ringside floor to get a feel for the allotted space. Jun Kasai is out first for TUV, bringing with him a box of light tubes. The door closes and the bell rings, and Kasai immediately looks to smash the whole box on Dreamer, but Tommy avoids and takes over with a flurry of punches. The fans go CRAZY as Dreamer stops wasting time and just explodes on the Crazy Monkey, stopping only to strike the crucifix pose and spit in his face. Kasai breaks free to the floor, and Dreamer follows him out, ramming his face into the cage over and over as the fans count along from 1 to 10. Jun scrambles back into the ring and catches Tommy with a kick to the groin before taking him down with a DDT onto the box of light tubes. Kasai mocks Dreamer with his own crucifix pose and goes up top, but Dreamer crotches him and shoots him into the remainder of the light tubes with a Rocket Launcher.
"Sick" Nick Mondo is out next, and he immediately goes to work on Dreamer with some choice kicks. A springboard Tumbleweed makes Tommy leave the ring, and Kasai ambushes him with an elbow suicida, holding him in place for Mondo to hit a tope con giro as well. Both men send Dreamer back in and Mondo holds his arms as Kasai digs some broken glass into his forehead.
Spike Dudley runs out next to a huge pop, and he immediately starts laying the forearms in on both Mondo and Kasai, allowing Dreamer to go to the floor to regroup. Hurricanrana to Mondo, tornado bulldog to Jun, and Spike looks for the Acid Drop on Nick but gets dumped to the floor...but Dreamer catches him! Spike and Dreamer both back in now and they trade rights on Mondo before sending him into the corner. Spike whips Dreamer in for a Stinger Splash, Tommy sends Mondo into a big dropkick by Spike, and Kasai blindsides both by throwing a handful of thumbtacks each into their faces, pulling out a burlap sack of them and dumping them on the floor.
MASADA comes out next with a fresh pack of skewers in his hand, calmly entering the Cage and putting some boots to Spike's face. Jun and Mondo tie Dreamer up in the ropes before Kasai pulls Spike to the floor, and MASADA proceeds to slowly stick a few skewers into the top of Tommy's head. Mondo goes to the floor and wails on Spike a bit with Jun before pulling out a few chairs from under the ring, setting them up on the floor. MASADA pounds a few fists into Dreamer's face before going to the floor as well, making it 3-on-1 on Spike.
Axl Rotten enters next, and he's got a custom "Garden City of Good and Evil" chair in his hand, as well as a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat. He enters the cage and immediately charges Jun, Mondo, and MASADA, smacking them all away with the chair. Mondo's up first, and Axl grinds the barbed wire bat into his forehead, holding it there long enough for Spike to grab the custom chair and smash it in. Kasai flies off the apron with a double axe handle, but Axl catches him and slams him into the cage wall. Spike uppercuts MASADA low and hits a tornado bulldog on the floor before getting back into the ring, trying to break Tommy free from the ropes.
Drake Younger charges out next with a cheese grater and his own box of light tubes as Mondo stops Spike from freeing Dreamer with a Blue Thunder Driver onto some thumbtacks. Drake slams the cheese grater into Axl's face over and over before pulling out a pair of light tubes and smashing them over his head. MASADA pulls a table out from under the ring and angles it against the cage wall before joining Mondo in the assault on Spike, pushing some broken glass from the light tubes into a pile and then double hip-tossing Spike onto it. Drake slowly rakes the cheese grater across Axl's forehead and then looks to suplex him through the table, but Axl blocks it and reverses, suplexing Drake back-first against the corner of the ring apron. MASADA surprises him with a plancha, however, and Jun Kasai comes in with the barbed wire bat, slamming it into Dreamer's ribs over and over.
Pitbull #1 rushes down with a steel chain, nailing every member of Team Ultraviolence who comes near him with a chain-enhanced clothesline. Jun Kasai goes after him with the barbed wire bat, but Pitbull #1 scoops him up and throws him out of the ring through the set-up of chairs. Drake catches him off-guard, though, with a bundle of light tubes smashed over his back, and then digs the glass into his shoulder as TUV takes control again: MASADA working over Spike, Mondo on Axl, and Drake on Pitbull #1.
Joker comes out to complete Team Ultraviolence, bringing a ladder with him, and immediately sets it up in the corner of the ring between the top and middle ropes. Chair shot to Dreamer as he's still tied in the ropes from Drake, Jun produces a pane of glass from underneath and slides it into the ring, Mondo re-sets up the chairs on the floor and brings Spike onto the apron, MASADA gets Axl into position and starts sticking skewers into his head, and Joker sits Pitbull #1 down in the corner with the ladder around his head before hitting a running dropkick into it. Jun grabs some light tubes and smashes one over the head of each member of Team Extreme before going back to the floor, placing the pane of glass on top of the chairs. Nick gets Spike up for the Assault Driver, but Axl fights free from MASADA and breaks that attempt up, press slamming Mondo off of the apron and through the glass/chairs set-up. MASADA immediately fires off a chair shot to his face, though, and then produces a barbed wire board from under the ring. Jun Kasai trades rights with Spike and then sends him down with a piledriver before going up top, donning the goggles, and nailing a chair-enhanced Frog Splash. Joker grabs the cheese grater and digs into Dreamer's forehead before choking him with the barbed wire bat, but Pitbull #1 ends that by wrapping the chain firmly around Joker's throat.
PITBULL #2 IS OUT WITH A FORKLIFT!!! He raises it above the top of the cage and breaks the door down getting in because Rudy Charles is taking too long, going postal on Joker, MASADA, Jun Kasai, Nick Mondo, and Drake Younger. Every bit of plunder brought in so far is used on Team Ultraviolence from Pitbull #2 alone, allowing Axl to free Dreamer from the ropes. Team Extreme groups together in the corner of the ring and looks around as Team Ultraviolence gathers across from them. They all line up side by side in either corner, plunder in hands, and then charge, colliding in the center in a huge orgy of violence: MASADA smashes a bundle of light tubes over Pitbull #2's head, Spike Dudley nails a forward diving headbutt into Nick Mondo's crotch before wailing away on him with forearms, Pitbull #1 and Drake Younger have a swordfight with chairs, Joker smashes the barbed wire bat into Axl's ribs and back repeatedly, and Tommy Dreamer delivers brutal right hand after brutal right hand into Jun Kasai's face.
MASADA gets clotheslined out to the floor by Pitbull #2 and he follows him down. Mondo blocks an Acid Drop attempt by throwing Spike crotch-first onto the ladder in the corner. Pitbull #1 catches Drake with a German suplex onto a pile of thumbtacks and broken glass. Axl and Joker brawl through the ropes to the floor. Dreamer goes for a DDT on Jun Kasai, Jun reverses it into a short-arm clothesline and grabs some broken light tubes before going up top...FROG SPLASH MISSES!! Dreamer gets pulled to the floor by Nick Mondo, but Pitbull #1 makes Kasai eat a chain-enhanced clothesline for a 2-count that's broken up by MASADA with a boot to the head. Pitbull #2 comes back in and drops him with a Gorilla Press Slam, but Nick Mondo catches Pitbull #2 with a springboard spinning wheel kick that sends him reeling to the floor. Outside, Axl Rotten nails Joker with an inverted DDT onto the table wreckage and MASADA pulls a car hood out from under the ring, sliding it in.
Dreamer and Drake pair off, trading right hands, and Spike comes off the top rope with a crossbody to Kasai. Mondo gets Pitbull #1 up...LIFE CUTTER!!! 1! 2!! 3...DREAMER PULLS MONDO OUT OF THE RING! Younger fights Spike off and then goes for Drake's Landing onto the car hood that MASADA produced, but Spike fights out, low blow, ACID DROP ONTO THE CAR HOOD!!! MASADA gets into the ring and goes for a tope con giro to Axl, but Rotten smashes the custom chair over his head, breaking it. Joker grabs Spike and throws him into the ring, follows him in...JOKER DRIVER!!! 1! 2!! 3...AXL ROTTEN BREAKS IT UP!!!
Axl gets Joker in position...PILEDRIVER ONTO A STACK OF LIGHT TUBES!!! 1! 2!! MASADA BREAKS IT UP!!! It's elementary at this point...SKULLFUCKA BUSTER ONTO AXL ROTTEN!!! 1! 2!! 3...PITBULL #2 WITH THE SAVE!! He points up as Pitbull #1 manages to slide the barbed wire board into the ring and place it, Pitbull #2 sits on the top rope, Pitbull #1 picks MASADA up and positions him...SUPERBOMB ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!!! The Pitbulls taunt Team Ultraviolence, but this costs them as Jun Kasai BREATHES FIRE INTO THEIR FACES!!!! Crazy Monkey grabs the barbed wire bat and readies himself as Tommy Dreamer enters the ring, but Spike hooks his foot before he can charge...BARBED WIRE BAT TO SPIKE'S FACE!!! This buys Tommy some time, though...DDT!! ANOTHER ONE!! A THIRD DDT!!! Dreamer covers! 1! 2!! 3...JUN KICKS OUT!!!
Dreamer stands up and looks around at the rest of Team Extreme and Team Ultraviolence, how they're all bloodied and practically lifeless, and then sees the ladder. He pulls it out from between the ropes, angles it up against the corner, picks Jun Kasai back up...LOUIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! SPICOLLI!!! DRIVER!!! ONTO!!! THE!!! LADDER!!! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winners: Team Extreme at 29:34.
-Both teams gradually come to and show respect to one another in the middle of the ring. Team Extreme raises Team Ultraviolence's hands, but Tommy Dreamer gets blindsided by KEVIN STEEN WITH A KENDO STICK!!! Steen goes crazy on each member of Team Extreme as Team Ultraviolence exits, grabs a mic, and then rants about how nobody from Team Extreme could ever dream of taking the Pachendale title off of him. He's had it longer than anybody else, he'll have it for the rest of 2012, and he'll retire with it if he damn well chooses to.
LIGHTS OUT...MISSILE SHOT...NEW JACK IS BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL!!!! PLUNDER AHOY as New Jack rushes to the ring with a trashcan full of fun stuff, throwing it at Steen and immediately continuing where they left off earlier. Jim Molineaux rushes down to the ring and picks up the Paschendale title, handing it off to Bob Artese...AND WE'VE GOT THE TITLE MATCH WE WERE PROMISED!!!

FLW PASCHENDALE TITLE MATCH
Kevin Steen (c) -v- New Jack
It's all New Jack right away. BLU-RAY PLAYER TO THE HEAD!! A GameCube is placed on the mat...DROP TOEHOLD ONTO IT!!! Crutch? Stop sign? RIGHT TO STEEN'S CROTCH!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaand...time for New Jack to play a little song on his guitar known as EL KABONG!!! Team Extreme comes to on the floor and are about to leave, but Tommy pulls out a table and then sets it up in the ring. Pitbull #2 stops New Jack as he digs a fork into Steen's forehead over and over, pointing to the forklift, and New Jack exits the cage with Pitbull #2. Dreamer, Spike, Pitbull #1, and Axl position Steen on the table, holding him there, and Pitbull #2 backs the forklift up and lowers the forks, allowing New Jack to step on before he raises them back up.
Joey Styles: "...I don't like the look of this at all..."
Pitbull #2 tilts the forks forward per New Jack's request...
Joey Styles: "OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...AND NEW JACK FLIES OFF THE FORKLIFT WITH A BODY SPLASH TO STEEN THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! Axl pulls Jack on top of Steen! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winner: And new FLW Paschendale champion, New Jack at 7:21.
-Team Extreme celebrates with New Jack, and Oderus Urungus saunters his way down to the ring as the FLW crew starts cleaning up the mess. He grabs a live mic and goes into a tirade on Vanilla Ice, ripping him apart for getting herpes from ICP (starting up a "family" chant amidst the Juggalos of the crowd, but Oderus ends that quick by telling them to get jobs and take more drugs so that they die) and sucking the cream filling out of the snack cake that Oderus left his mother the night before. "Ice Ice Baby" cues up (because why not) and Vanilla calls Oderus a joke who had to wear an alien costume to get noticed.
Oderus: "No shit, Sherlock, but that's still better than giving MC Hammer and MC Blumpkin."
Ice charges the ring and Rudy Charles is already there, so the bell's called for.
-
Oderus Urungus -v- Vanilla Ice
Ice slides under the bottom rope and charges, but Oderus immediately uses one of the chairs from the Cage of Death/Paschendale title melees to smash into his face, knocking him down. A foot on the chest and it's entirely academic.
Winner: Oderus Urungus at 0:10.
-Oderus does a victory dance extremely similar to what Beetlejuice does when he finds the whorehouse, carefully exiting the ring as the Cage is raised and slapping a few hands at ringside. Security comes out to check on Vanilla Ice, who wakes up and starts crying as he's helped back up the ramp, all as the fans who notice point and laugh along with Oderus.
-Back to Chris Rock's room, and he and AJ Styles are talking basketball. A road agent peaks his head in, tells AJ that his match is up next, and Chris Rock wishes him luck. Styles leaves Rock's room but runs into Kenta Kobashi while walking towards the Gorilla Position. Neither man says a word, just staring holes into each other, and then nod as they walk off.
-A video package airs of Kenta Kobashi's time as MoH champion, focusing on his winning the title from Cactus Jack under dubious circumstances (thanks to Orton's interference), a pair of successful defenses against the Andersons, several highlights of a 60-minute draw from a month ago with Hiroyoshi Tenzan, and even a Paschendale Rules match against Kevin Steen that saw Kobashi narrowly escape with the win three weeks ago. Focus then on AJ Styles, winning the contendership tournament after beating Arn Anderson, MASADA, and Satoshi Kojima in one night.
-The package ends and Joey Styles makes sure to mention that Kobashi has defended the title more times in the past two months than any MoH champion to date with four successful defenses and has been undefeated otherwise since winning the title, but AJ Styles, a two-time MoH champion, has Kobashi in his sights.

FLW MEDAL OF HONOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Kenta Kobashi (c) -v- AJ Styles
A little bit of a slow start as AJ is hesitant to even stand too close to Kobashi, and he gets good reason as they try a chop battle that Kobashi wins with relative ease. Kobashi takes over with a snapmare and then an armbar, but AJ fights out and manages to snap on a La Magistral for 2. They circle, and Styles comes off with a few kicks to Kobashi's leg before Kenta gets ahold of him again and locks him up in an abdominal stretch. AJ tries to break free, but Kobashi nails some elbows to his ribs and then adds a chinlock to it. AJ fights out and gets sent into the corner...RUNNING CHOP by Kobashi, BRAINBUSTER...2-count.
Styles eats a pair of boots as he rises, and then gets planted with a scoop slam and an elbow drop for 2. Kobashi hooks him into a side headlock the moment he kicks out, though, and takes him down, constantly looking to pin him and getting a few 1 counts. AJ manages to hook Kobashi into a headscissors to break free, and holds onto it, forcing Kobashi to get to the ropes for theb reak. Both men up and AJ goes for another chop exchange, this time avoiding Kobashi's and peppering in some forearms in between his own chops. Whip to the ropes and AJ leapfrogs, drops down, and NAILS a high dropkick square on Kobashi's mouth for a 2-count.
Kenta's lower lip is busted open a bit, and AJ shows what he learned from his series with LowKi months ago with some STIFF kicks to Kobashi's chest and face. Off the ropes and Styles goes for a jumping lariat, Kobashi catches him, LOOKS FOR THE BURNING HAMMER...STYLES REVERSES INTO A VICTORY ROLL! 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!!

Kenta follows him out and whips him into the guardrail, but AJ hops over into the front row, turns, and surprises Kobashi with a springboard forearm from the top of the barrier. AJ in control, now, as he stomps on Kobashi's neck a few times and then brings him up, slamming his face into the barrier. Chop, whip to the apron, chop...KENTA CHOPS BACK!!! Kobashi hooks him, and nails him with a back suplex onto the apron! Back in, Kobashi covers for 2, and then whips AJ into the corner, playing to the crowd before MACHINE GUN CHOPS!!!! AJ's chest looks about medium rare before Kobashi finally stops and clobbers him with a lariat, dragging him into the center of the ring for 1! 2!! 3...AJ KICKS OUT!!!

Kobashi wastes no time, gets him up, and drops him with the BLACK CRUSH!!! 1! 2!! 3...AJ GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!! Joey and Gertner focus on AJ's heart and how Kobashi's been undefeated as champion, the timing on their comments perfect as Kobashi gets AJ up for the Diamond Head...BUT STYLES SLIPS OUT...PELE KICK #2 BLOCKED...HALF NELSON SUPLEX REVERSED...GERMAN SUPLEX BY STYLES, HE ROLLS INTO A SECOND ONE...BLUE THUNDER DRIVER!!

AJ's down, though, and Kenta has trouble getting him back to his feet. The ref's count gets to 13 before Kobashi even has AJ on his feet, he's sent back into the ring, Kobashi follows...KIP-UP 'RANA! Kobashi back up, HIGH DROPKICK ROCKS HIM!! AJ sets him up...STYLES CLASH!!! 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!!

Winner: And new FLW Medal of Honor champion, AJ Styles at 33:28.
-Kobashi and AJ shake hands with Kobashi raising AJ's hand, and Joey and Gertner run down the highlights of the match. Cut back to the live feed as Styles is at the top of the ramp, holding the MoH title high, and he walks to the back.
-Justin Credible comes out to the ring, saying he can't wait for Shane McMahon to come down so that he can take care of whatever chump he's been replaced with, and then out comes Shane-o-Mac himself. McMahon talks about how he's got somebody that knows the former (emphasizing the word "former" with a pause after it) Medal of Honor champion quite well, and how this is a man that is known the world over as being both a monster and being the epitome of dangerous. Justin says he doesn't care who it is because they're not "just incredible." Out comes the hooded figure, who enters the ring, and Shane quickly pulls off his cloak and mask, causing Credible's color to drain from his face.
Joey Styles: "IT'S KAWADA!! IT'S KAWADA!!!"
-
Justin Credible -v- Toshiaki Kawada (w/ Shane McMahon)
Credible attacks immediately, but Kawada swats him away and levels him with brutal kicks to the face over and over again. Justin's nose is busted wide open at the bridge after a gamengiri, and Kawada hits him with a Lariat, a Backdrop Driver, and then a Powerbomb with a Jackknife pin for the win.
Winner: Toshiaki Kawada (w/ Shane McMahon) at 6:21.
-Shane grabs the microphone again and taunts Justin Credible as Kawada motions around his waist for the belt, and McMahon then tells AJ Styles that he's looking at the next Medal of Honor champion right here and now.
-Backstage promo from Cactus Jack, who only says three words after nearly a full minute of silence and heavy breathing through his nose: "Randy will die."

No Disqualifications
Cactus Jack -v- Randy Orton
Jack gives chase as Orton bails, eventually cutting him off and then slamming fist after fist into Randy's face. Whip into the guardrail, and Jack rams Orton's head into the ring steps over and over, whipping Randy into the guardrail again and then clotheslining him over into the crowd. A quick taunt and Jack goes to follow Randy in, but Orton throws a chair into his face and then pummels him with fists.
Boots to the head by Orton slam Jack's head into the guardrail a few times, and Orton goes for a running clothesline but gets back body dropped to the ringside floor. Cactus goes back over the barrier and digs under the ring, pulling out a pair of chairs and sliding them in. Orton blindsides Jack with a chair to the back and rocks him with a whip into the barrier and boots to the face, sending him onto the apron and getting into the ring to hit a Hanging DDT off the middle rope. 1! 2!! Cactus kicks out!
Randy sets up one of the chairs and slams Jack face-first into it, brings him up, and then hits a DDT onto it. 1! 2!! Jack kicks out! Orton wedges the other chair between the turnbuckles and goes to whip Jack in, but Cactus stops and hits a short-arm clothesline to knock Randy down. Cactus grabs the chair and hits a running elbow drop with it. 1! 2!! Orton kicks out at 2.5, and Jack pounds some fists into his head before rolling out of the ring and pulling a table out from underneath. He sets the table up on the floor and goes to climb back into the ring, but Orton boots him through the ropes and to the floor. Randy follows him out and throws Jack over the barrier, following him out.
They brawl through the crowd, starting from the ring and then going up towards the stairs to the first balcony. Jack grabs a fan's cup of beer and smashes it over Orton's face as they brawl to the concession stand, but then gets blindsided by two fans wearing Andersons hoodies and FLW hats, pulling them off to reveal themselves as Arn and CW Anderson.
Joey Styles: "Why are they helping Randy Orton?!"
Joel Gertner: "Maybe Orton promised them sexual favors after the match."
Joey Styles: "Would you shut up?!"
Orton backs Arn and CW off, dropping knee after knee into Jack's face before the three of them toss Cactus down the stairs towards the floor again. The Andersons and Orton wail away on Jack as they make their way back to the ring, sending Cactus back over the barrier with a double clothesline by Arn and CW. The Andersons pull a ladder out from under the ring and set it up between the barrier and the apron as Orton pulls out the barbed wire board from earlier, sliding it into the ring.
The 3-on-1 continues with Orton orchestrating CW and Arn attacking Jack. Cactus tries to fight back, sending Arn to the floor and trading off on CW and Randy with right hands, but CW surprises Jack with a Superkick that allows Orton to smash a chair over his head. 1! 2!! 3...JACK KICKS OUT!!! Arn drags Jack out onto the apron near the ladder, looking for an Anderson Spinebuster onto it, but HERE COME THE ROTTWEILERS!!! LowKi and CW pair off as Homicide pulls Arn off the apron and goes crazy on him. Jack gets back in and brawls with Orton, whipping him face-first into the chair wedged in the corner.
Jack grabs the barbed wire board and suplexes it into Orton's back as LowKi sets CW up on the table on the floor as Homicide and Arn trade shots in the front row, and Jack pulls the ladder into the ring, setting it up in the center. Orton surprises him with the chinlock backbreaker, and then drops the ladder across Jack's back before setting the barbed wire board up in the corner. Ki jumps off of the top rope...GHETTO STOMP TO CW ANDERSON THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Arn whips Homicide into the barrier and charges, Homicide surprises him with a boot to the face, AND A LARIAT SENDS ARN DOWN!! Orton throws a chair over the top rope and catches Ki in the back of the head, and Homicide runs in to look for an Ace Crusher, but Orton blocks it...RKO ONTO THE UNFOLDED CHAIR!! Orton drops down as Jack desperately tries to get to his feet, and Randy lets the hunt begin. Jack's up, Randy goes for an RKO...BUT GETS DROPPED ON TOP OF THE LADDER!!! Orton scrambles up, clutching his back, and Jack gets him...DOUBLE-ARM DDT ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!!! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winner: Cactus Jack at 17:40.
-Post-match, Senior Official Jim Molineaux checks on Jack, LowKi, and Homicide as Rudy Charles and FLW security check on the Andersons and cut Orton free from the barbed wire board. The Rottweilers hold Cactus Jack's arms up in victory as they walk up the ramp, Joey Styles and Joel Gertner thank you for tuning in, and WE CUT TO THE BACK!!
-TOSHIAKI KAWADA HAS BLOODIED AJ STYLES!!! POWERBOMB ONTO THE HOOD OF SHANE'S LIMOUSINE!!!! McMahon gets in AJ's face, shoving the FLW Medal of Honor title against his cheek, and says that the belt is coming to him and Kawada very, very soon as the show ends.
