Colt Cabana: Thank you for joining us on your local syndication stations for another edition of FIW Independent Television! You're gonna see all the fallout from everything disseminating from our Best In The World Tournament, as we get things rolling tonight! Let's go right to our fearless leader, Keith Williams, in the ring!
KW: FIW Arena...for 2 years you've been enjoying the best independent wrestling on the planet, thanks to the FIW!
KW: And I know all of you were watching our Best In The World Tournament....so I know you're all wanting to know what's next for FIW, and that's why I'm out here. We here at FIW pride ourselves on providing you, the independent faithful, with true alternatives in wrestling. We've given you the best Pure Wrestling. We've given you the best hardcore wrestling. But we're not done folks...get ready, because FIW is going to offer you the very best in Tag Team wrestling in 2013!
KW: I'll have more on that later, but just know...FIW is an innovator, and you will see tag team wrestling reinvented here in FIW. But first, there's a ton of unfinished business coming off of our big tournament. First off, Samoa Joe proved himself to be the Best In the World by winning the whole tournament, so he is set to face Necro Butcher for the FIW Title. We also crowned a number one contender for the Pure title when Brian Kendrick knocked off Jack Evans...so the way I see it, we have two huge title matches to hold. So this November, we will hold an event called "Title Character" in which all FIW titles will be on the line! What about the Hardcore title you ask....well, let's get tonight's show on the road!
Crowd: FIW! FIW! FIW!
CC: And it looks like we're starting things off with one of our newest contracted wrestlers, Roderick Strong!
CC: Strong represents the future of FIW. I mean, he's a pure wrestler who can easily transition into the FIW title picture after picking up some wins.
CC: We've only seen one match from Roderick in FIW, and tonight, he makes his FIW Arena debut.
CC: Oh man...it's the new and improved RVD! Seems so weird seeing him without that Hardcore Title!
CC: RVD shed his hardcore stigma and said he was going to prove he wasn't just the best hardcore wrestler, but the best pure wrestler in this company, and he's got Roderick Strong as the first road block in his way!
CC: This is sure gonna be a great match...let's see if RVD can hang in the Pure Division!
CC: And they lock up!
CC: Strong with a headlock...
CC: RVD inching through, sending Strong to the ropes...
CC: WOW! Strong just ran into a huge kick from RVD! Perhaps this will be as easy as just removing a chair from RVD's moveset...
CC: Big leg drop by RVD! He just jumped over Strong to do that...he's just showing off at this point folks!
CC: Maybe I spoke too soon...NOW he's just showing off!
CC: And Roderick is getting this match back on track, with a forearm right to the face of RVD...
CC: Big back suplex! RVD may need to rethink his usually strategy against someone like Strong.
CC: This is Strong's chance...he needs to get on RVD and set his own pace.
CC: Sick chop by Strong. If you've never heard Strong's chops before, your ears are probably bleeding right now from lack of adjustment!
CC: And another one! Strong bringing the pain like it's 2006!
CC: Oh! Strong just laying RVD out on the top rope!
CC: And Strong just kicking RVD right in the temple! Strong really bringing it to RVD here... I don't think I've seen RVD take this kind of punishment in a non-hardcore match!
CC: Strong needs to stay on RVD and capitalize after that shot...
CC: Wow! RVD riding the momentum and landing on his feet...
CC: HOLY! Strong just jumped up and kneed RVD in the face!!!
CC: HOLY SHOOT! RVD's BACK IS BROKEN IN HALF! Roderick with a sick backbreaker!
CC: And Roderick's going for the Stronghold! Looks like he's trying to make RVD tap here!
CC: And RVD makes the ropes! But how much damage has been done to RVD's back at this point?
CC: Strong dragging RVD to the middle...
CC: RVD kicking Strong in the face!
CC: Northern Lights with a bridge! 1.............2.....................
CC: No! Strong kicks out at 2! RVD trying to steal this one!
CC: And RVD with a springboard martial arts kick! Looks like the momentum has shifted!
CC: Rolling Thunder! RVD has really turned this one around in his favor!
CC: Split-legged Moonsault! Cover! 1................2..........................
CC: No! Only 2! Man, both men pulling out all the stops and both men taking it! Looks like things are gonna have to get serious now.
CC: And Strong slides to the outside to get a breather...smart strategy if you ask me. RVD can't pin him out there in this match.
CC: RVD looking for the dive...
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! Strong stuck his knee out and gave RVD the worst landing pad ever! He just broke him in half!
CC: Strong really needs to get RVD back in the ring, as this is the best chance he's had to win this one!
CC: There you go Strong! This is your chance!
CC: COVER! 1...................................2.......................................
CC: WHAT! RVD kicks out at 2! He really wants to prove he can hang without the weapons!
CC: WOW! STRONG WITH A WHEELBARROW HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER! RVD HAS NO SPINE RIGHT NOW!
CC: It looks like Strong was looking for the Stronghold again, but RVD is all up in those ropes, and luck for him! There's no way he could have survived if Strong locked it in.
CC: And Strong doing the right thing and setting RVD up for another big move. He has him, he just needs to finish him!
CC: Maybe looking for a superplex here...
CC: 5 STAR FROG SPLASH! COVER! 1.....................2..........................
CC: ...........3!! RVD wins it, and is on his way to the Pure Title!
CC: RVD proving that he's not just good with a chair in his hands...he can mix it up with the best wrestlers too!
CC: RVD remains undefeated in FIW! What a match folks! Strong making a big impact against the established FIW star!
CC: We're back folks...and look who's showing their faces in the impact zone...Abyss and Daffney. They both came through the crowd to pick the scraps of the hardcore title.
CC: Now...Colt Cabana is down with some freaky stuff, but I don't know what's up with these two. I mean, having your manager hold your title is common place, but I don't know about your manager keeping you on a leash....
CC: And that was quite a unique way of helping your manager into the ring...man, this is a bit weird...even for the FIW!
CC: The Hardcore title isn't a recognized title in FIW, so Abyss was perfectly in line just taking it, but let's see if he can actually defend the thing.
CC: He certainly looks intimidating, but can he go with the best of the hardcores in FIW?
CC: WOW! That's "Sick" Nick Mondo! Mondo put the Hardcore title on the map in his early hardcore battles, including his legendary trilogy with Brain Damage which saw the inception of the hardcore division in FIW!
CC: We haven't seen Mondo since last year when he lost the title to RVD in a brutal ladder match. It looks like Mondo has a problem with Abyss simply taking the belt without proving himself!
CC: And he just slid between Abyss' legs!
CC: Welcome to the Hardcore Division Abyss...
CC: WOW! Abyss just moved through Mondo like he was nothing! Maybe he can go toe to toe with the hardcores!
CC: And Abyss already making himself at home with the weapons. Looks like this is gonna be another brutal classic folks.
CC: And now Daffney is handing him weapons! Daffney could end up being the wild card in this match...
CC: Abyss setting up a sick looking contraption with those chairs...
CC: And Mondo just going to town on Abyss with punches! I can't blame him though, as I don't think Mondo can even lift Abyss!
CC: Man, Mondo is just wailing on him now! It's like a violence party!
CC: HOLY! Abyss just tossing Mondo into those chairs like he was an annoyance! This might be quite an uphill battle for Mondo to take down this massive monster!
CC: And now Abyss going to the outside to get some more plunder!
CC: And now the tables have come out! Now we're getting serious!
CC: Mondo with a huge enzugiri off that chair! This is exactly what Mondo needs to do here...he needs to use his speed and aerial tactics to ground the big man!
CC: And Mondo going after that table...
CC: HOLY! Mondo with an ace crusher, sending Abyss' face right through that chair!
CC: And now it looks like Mondo's on his way to the outside in search of some toys of his own!
CC: Oh boy...more tables! The crowd sure likes it, but one of these wrestlers isn't going to in a little bit.
CC: And Abyss meets Mondo with a huge clubbing blow...
CC: Mondo with a nice sunset flip reversal, except he couldn't bring Abyss down!
}
CC: Man, that was close! Abyss went to drop all of his weight on Mondo, but he slid out and gave Abyss a kick to the temple for his troubles!
CC: And now it seems Mondo has Abyss right where he wants him!
CC: HOLY! Mondo looking for the Mondo sledge, but Abyss moved, sending Mondo crashing through the table!
CC: Abyss picking up the scraps here...
CC: HOLY! Abyss with a viscous chokeslam to Mondo, sending him crashing down onto that chair!
CC: And Abyss is back to the outside...man, what else could he want in this match?
CC: Mondo trying to get back into this match while Abyss is off looking through the armory...
CC: Oh no...that can't be...it just can't be what I think it is!
CC: It is...TACKS! Thumbtacks! Man, I haven't seen tacks in FIW since the days of Cactus Jack and Raven!
CC: Sick chair shot by Mondo! He needs to take control before he ends up in those tacks!
CC: DDT onto the chair! Mondo has the momentum now!
CC: Mondo's...no way!
CC: YES! Mondo's got the tacks!
CC: Abyss has that chain, and I don't think Mondo knows it!
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! ABYSS JUST REELED MONDO IN WITH THAT CHAIN, AND BLACKHOLE SLAMMED HIM ONTO THOSE TACKS!!!
CC: COVER! 1.............................2...............................................
CC:..........3! Abyss retains his Hardcore Title against Mondo! Man, nobody can question whether Abyss is a legitimate Hardcore Wrestler after that win....
CC: Oh man...look at Mondo's back! He's covered in tacks!
CC: Oh no...I don't trust this Daffney character...what does she want?
CC: Oh no...what is Abyss going to do here?
CC: NO! He's going to toss Mondo out of the ring onto that table of tacks...WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
CC: THAT'S BRAIN DAMAGE! BRAIN DAMAGE IS BACK IN THE FIW ARENA!
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! BRAIN DAMAGE just killed Abyss! He knocked him out with the light tube chair and laid him to rest on the tack table! MAN OH MAN THAT WAS SICK!
CC: OH MY SHOOT! Abyss is a human pin cushion!
CC: And Brain Damage has a mic!
Brain Damage: Don't take this personal Mondo...I'd still crack you over the head with a light tube if given the chance, but this isn't about you, this is about the Hardcore Division in FIW.
BD: You see Abyss, me and Mondo had a hardcore match on the very first FIW show, and created a belt that would represent that spirit of hardcore and competition that we established in our triology of hardcore wars....but you, you don't seem to understand. This Hardcore title isn't just a toy that you can take from the ring, and parade around with. You have to earn it.
BD: I made a promise to FIW that I wouldn't face Mondo for the Hardcore title after our series because we were in danger of ending each other's careers. And I've honored that promise. While Mondo was champ, I was watching his matches, and watching how he carried on the legacy of our battles. And when RVD had his run, I was working on something. I was constructing a match to test him, and truly test the limits of hardcore. While RVD has moved on from Hardcore...I have not! And my brain child is finally complete. I said I'd never face Mondo one on one again, but I never said anything about a three way dance. Abyss, you really want to prove you're the Hardcore champion? Then defend in against the two guys who create the belt..at Title Character....in...CAGE OF DEATH!!!
CC: WHAT!!?? CAGE OF DEATH!!?? Mondo vs. Brain Damage vs. Abyss in the Cage of Death!? HOLY SHOOT! You talk about the ultimate in hardcore...HOLY SHOOT! We've got to sign off for now folks, so we leave you with some PULP FICTION!
Samoa Joe: So you held a tournament to determine who the best in the world is? Well, I'm flattered, but I didn't need a tournament to know I'm the best in the world...and I don't need a brain to tell you that Necro Butcher isn't the best wrestler in FIW. Necro, do you really think you stand a chance against me? When I wrestle you, you'll have so much blood on your beard that I'll be able to snap it in half by kicking you in the mouth. See you at Title Character, Champ.
CM Punk: Desmond Wolfe...you got my attention. You cost me a title shot, and I can't ignore that, no matter how insignificant you are to me. So you discover Clockwork Orange and you think you're a badass? Well, there's another Kubrick film I've seen, and It's a bit different.
Punk: You know, all I've done in FIW is work for my spot...and all this work...it's made me quite a dull boy, Desmond. Maybe it's time I started having fun. Maybe it's time to get the toys out...like everyone else in this damn federation. Because there's no way we can keep it pure between us Desmond. The old in and out sure ain't pure...and the ultraviolence. You think the old ultraviolence is beating a man with your fists? Well, there's some truth to that, but who's more violent? The man punching me, or the man who swings an axe at you? No door is thick enough for you to hide from me Desmond...and no window's large enough for you to escape through....when we next meet Desmond, it'll be you looking into my eyes...because here's PUNK!!
Brian Kendrick: Flock...it's almost time. The date has been set. They say only the father knows the day and the hour, but Raven's not here, and I know the season! At Title Character, I will become purified.
Jack Evans: Kendrick...I know this is all part of the plan, but...what if you don't win the Pure title? I mean, you don't have the best track record with winning matches...
Kendrick: Jack...I've already won the Pure title...it just hasn't happened yet. It's already written, like John The Revelator said. This happens outside of time and space. Would you bet on Satan for the apocalypse? Would you bet on Kurt headlining Lollapalooza '94? On Krist catching the bass at the VMA's in 92? These questions are as silly to me as the one you present.
Evans: Yeah, I guess, but I'm still a little worried. Not just about you losing, but about what happens to you...to us...but mostly to you...if you do lose.
Kendrick: It won't happen, Jack, because FIW knows it'll be too dicey. You never want to make me an underdog. You never want to give me nothing to lose, because that's when I get scary. I might not have a gun now, but would you believe me if I said I didn't? If I have the title, I have something to live for...I have something to lose. That's what makes everyone happy. Kind of like chicks. Jack! We've got chicks! They're in the FIW! I've never met a wise man, but if so, it's a woman!!
This match has a lot of good back and forth, I love it. Kick answered by Roddy with a flying knee! High Angle urinagi backbreaker was awesome! Looks like RVD is starting to take over now. Good lord at that knee at the outside, really good. OMFG Deadlift in to the backbreaker, unreal. Nice, frogsplash to end a great match. This was a true testament to your posing ability. Can't wait to see where both Roddy and RVD go in FIW!
