Colt Cabana - Ladies and gentlemen, the snow might be melting into non-existence, and you'd more likely be seeing a rain storm than a blizzard, and hell, spring is in the air....but Federation Independent Wrestling is all about counter culture....WELCOME TO THE FIRST ANNUAL WINTER CLASSIC hailing from THE ELK'S LODGE in QUEEN'S NEW YORK!!
CC: And there is the man the wrestling world have come to know and love. The man who makes it all possible. Keith Williams! Just listen to this capacity crowd!
CC: They're packing the balcony for some FIW action here in Queens!
CC: Wait for it...
KW: ...THIS....IS THE FIW!!!
Crowd Chanting FIW! FIW! FIW!
CC: I can just feel it...this is going to be a special night!
KW: Queens New York...The Elk's Lodge...The first annual FIW WINTER CLASSIC! It's all happening tonight! We are slowly issuing a new era in the wrestling world. People said in 2010 that professional wrestling was dead. Professional wrestling had to be sports entertainment...but this...this event proves that professional wrestling isn't dead...it's just gone underground!
Crowd cheers*
KW: Ladies and gentleman, this is the first major event for FIW this year, and we plan on making this the professional wrestling event to top this year...so...LET'S GET THE WINTER CLASSIC UNDERWAY!! IT'S d**n NEAR SPRING! LET'S GET THIS FREAKING THING GOING!!
CC: Yeah, keep plugging our horrible seasonal debacle! But seriously, let's get it on!
CC: And we're kicking things off right here. Jack Evans is one of the most recognizable, most energetic high flyers in the sport, but then we get to his opponent tonight.
CC: We are about to see Rob Van Dam and Jack Evans lock it up for the first time ever, and I can tell you right now it is going to be one hell of a heated competition.
CC: And Jack Evans doesn't seem to be that concerned. Maybe it's because he's too high off of his victory against Amazing Red. But tonight it's not Red...it's Rob Van Dam!
CC: And there he is folks...man, this is going to get things set off right!
CC: Rob Van Dam is the definite favorite in this match, but I can tell this one is going to come down to who came most prepared. If Jack Evans pulls out some of his high flying moves, I can see the crowd turn to his side in a heartbeat.
CC: And there it is folks. RVD facing off with Jack Evans! Only in FIW will you see this match up!
CC: And we start with a collar and elbow tie up.
CC: Woah...RVD just snapping off an armdrag there, but Jack seems to be recovering quick...
CC: And Jack Evans handing it right back to RVD with a Japanese style armdrag. It looks like this is going to be a battle of similar styles, and whoever slips up first is going to get run over.
CC: And RVD just springboard martial arts kicked Evans out of his dew rag! I think that shot just signaled that this match is officially "on" between these two!
CC: And Jack looks pissed...
CC: Big forearm to the face by Evans.
CC: WOW! Jack Evans just did some faux-hurricanranna into a bull dog, and RVD just landed face first!
CC: That is what Jack Evans needs to do in this match if he wants to win. He needs to keep pulling crazy, unpredictable, moves out of nowhere, so that RVD has no idea how to counter them.
CC: Man, what a huge spin kick to the face of Evans! I guess RVD realizes that if he keeps the offense up, Jack won't have enough time to mount those crazy moves.
CC: And RVD is keeping right on Evans here, coming off the ropes...
CC: Jack Evans reversing the momentum, sending RVD up and over the ropes, but RVD holds on!
CC: And they both fight for position...
CC: And RVD has him set up...Oh no...he can't be thinking suplex...
CC: HOLY SHOOT! RVD tried to suplex Jack Evans to the floor of the Elk's Lodge, but Jack just landed on his feet!
CC: I can't even call this action! RVD just went for a springboard split-leg moonsault to the floor, but Evans just rolled into the ring underneath him...and...
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW FRONTFLIP to the floor onto RVD! This crowd has erupted! This is unreal!
CC: Both men seem to be feeling the effects of that last move, but Jack is getting back to his feet on the entrance ramp.
CC: And Jack is keeping on the attack here...
CC: Jack is setting something up here...
CC: And looked like he was thinking tornado DDT, but RVD just turned the momentum over...
CC: HOLY! Release Northern Lights suplex onto the wooden entrance ramp! The thud that just echoed through the Elk's lodge was deafening!
CC: And it looks like RVD is calling for something. Most likely, he's asking for a chair...
CC: And there it is folks. If you've seen RVD in action before, you know all the creative ways he can beat you with a chair. Evans needs to realize that he's fighting a tougher RVD at this point.
CC: Oh boy...he it is folks...the showdown...something is going to happen here!
CC: Tosses the chair...he's setting up for it...
CC: NO! Evans ducks the Van Daminator...
CC: What! Evans tosses the chair back to RVD...
CC: HOLY SHOOT! I can't believe what we just witnessed! Jack Evans did a springboard shooting star press, landed in that chair, and got a dropkick to the face by RVD! This crowd is going absolutely insane!
CC: And as Jack Evans tries to make his way back to his feet, RVD is going back to the chair. He has some more plans in mind with it, I guarantee you.
CC: There it is. He's setting it up in the corner...
CC: Evans ducks the clothesline....
CC: HOLY SHOOT! RVD just got german suplexed out of his kickpads, and landed torso first on top of that chair!
CC: And RVD looks to be in a very bad way here...Evans is coming to pick up the scraps...
CC: Could Evans be thinking powerbomb here!?
CC: WOW! RVD just cracked Jack over the head with that steel chair! That came out of nowhere!
CC: I can't even...ROLLING THUNDER sandwich with a chair for good measure! This is freaking awesome!
CC: And I get the feeling RVD wants to end this thing now...
CC: Jack Evans needs to find a way to snap out of this, and pull something off out of nowhere.
CC: RVD has that chair...this could be bad...
CC: And he tosses the chair to Jack...
CC: Woah! Jack Evans caught the chair, and then he clocked RVD over the head with it! This could be the opening he needs!
CC: HOLY SHOOT! Jack Evans attempted a shoot star press while holding a chair, but he just landed hard right on top of the steel! Now that was a crash and burn!
CC: And RVD's already up!
CC: FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! This thing has to be over!
1............2....................
......3!!
CC: RVD picks up the victory against Jack Evans here in Queens! That was a wild match, and we have things started off hot here tonight. If all the snow hadn't already melted, it sure is now!
CC: The crowd is standing in appreciation of what we just witnessed, and man do they ever deserve that applause!
CC: RVD has beaten both Brain Kendrick and Jack Evans here in FIW...I wonder whose next for the Whole F***ing show?
CC: Colt Cabana here, hosting Hype Central from backstage at the Elk's Lodge. Before I get into anything...man, what a match we just saw! Rob Van Dam putting an end to Jack Evans' "winning streak" with a phenomenal match. But speaking of phenomenal matches, unfortunately, Brain Damage could not make it here to Queens tonight. Travel issues prevent him from getting to the Elk's Lodge, so we will not be seeing the Lighttube challenge tonight. However, we here at FIW are all about delivering to our fans, so our next event at the FIW arena is being billed "The Night of the Hardcores" and will feature Brain Damage's lighttube challenge, as well as "Sick" Nick Mondo defending his hardcore title! But that's next time. Stay tuned for Punk vs. Hero!
CC: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment I have been waiting for, and I'm assuming you have too. You want to know what happens with Hero meets Punk? Let's find out.
CC: And there he is folks. YOUR Pure Champion, CM Punk. He had to beat 4 other guys to win that title, and he's held on to it since May of 2010. People have been saying he hasn't been a fighting champion, but here he is folks, defending the belt on the biggest card of the year so far.
CC: Speaking of big cards, I'm getting a big fight feeling right now...and I know it's going to get even thicker when Hero comes through that curtain.
CC: Oh boy...this crowd is just buzzing with anticipation! Man, this is going to be a fight!
CC: Just look at that. They're having a stare down, and Hero's not even in the ring yet!
CC: But all the talk about Punk not defending the title aside, I believe that Chris Hero is going to be Punk's hardest challenge to date.
CC: And we are underway here!
CC: Punk beginning this match with a wristlock takedown. I think he's trying to gauge the prowess of Hero before butting heads with him.
CC: Hero twisting the momentum there, sending Punk to the mat.
CC: And it looks like Hero's going for a cravate here! That's surprising!
CC: And wisely, Punk getting to the ropes as to conserve his energy. Why break out of the hold when you can have it broken for you?
CC: A huge left hand right to the face of Hero. At this point, I think Punk's done testing Hero, he just wants to beat him down now.
CC: And Hero right back with a huge elbow! I don't think Punk wants to admit it, but Hero is just about on his level in my opinion.
CC: Hero keeping on the offensive, with a huge right hand right to the noggin!
CC: Irish whip...
CC: Now that was impressive! Huge leg lariat off the return! That one hit right on the money!
CC: Punk going for a huge running knee, but Hero moves out of the way into...
CC: Cravateplex! Hero snapping off a Cravateplex out of nowhere! Punk just was dropped on his head in a heap!
CC: Cover!.....1.............2...........
CC: Nope! Punk kicks out at two. And good thing too!
CC: Looks like Hero is thinking suplex here...
CC: Wait a second...
CC: Michinoku Driver out of nowhere! That was freaking brutal!
CC: Punk is just stalking Hero now...waiting to strike...
CC: Punk misses the superkick, and Hero steps back...
CC: HERO'S WELCOME! Nobody saw that coming! Could Hero have it won right here!!?
CC: 1..............2...............
CC: And CM Punk somehow manages to kick out! It looks like Hero's game plan is to keep hitting big moves and go right for a pinfall. Punk needs to be on high alert for the rest of this match...
CC: And this is what Punk needs to do - regroup on the outside. Hero can't pin him out there, and Punk can rethink his strategy.
CC: Oh shoot!
CC: Chris Hero just suicide dove through the ropes to Punk like a missile! And things have once again spilled to the floor of the Elk's Lodge!
CC: Chris Hero is feeding off this crowd's energy, and I can't blame him. FIW fans are like no other!
CC: And it looks like Punk and Hero have made their way up to the stage...this could end badly for either of them...
CC: Oh my shoot...Hero can't be thinking powerbomb...
CC: WOW! Did you hear that thud! Chris Hero just got dropped on the wooden entrance ramp back first!
CC: And Punk is just picking up the scraps at this point.
CC: Punk might be looking to end this now, as he's rolling Hero back into the ring.
CC: Is he...is he thinking Pepsi Plunge!? This will be over if he hits that right now!
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! CHRIS HERO JUST POWERBOMBED CM PUNK OFF THE TOP ROPE! THAT WAS SICK! THIS CROWD IS GOING WILD!
CC: I think Hero might have gotten a bit of whiplash off that landing, as he didn't go for a cover right away, but he seems to be getting to his feet...
CC: Hero getting Punk to his feet...
CC: Irish whip...
CC: Punk reverses, but Hero gets to the top rope and...
CC: Very smart move by Punk there. He's still feeling the effects of that powerbomb, so he's buying time by crotching Hero on the top rope. And all he had to do was slump over.
CC: Ok, now he's going for it...now he's thinking Pepsi Plunge...and I think he's got it this time!
CC: WHAT! Chris Hero tucked his legs, and prevented the Plunge from happening! I've never seen that kind of a reverse before!
CC: OH MY SHOOT! HERO'S WELCOME IN MID AIR! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT!
CC: COVER!! 1............2................
CC: ........3!!! CHRIS HERO IS THE NEW PURE CHAMPION!
CC: I can't believe it! Chris Hero defeated CM Punk for the title that meant so much to him!
CC: For some reason, I don't think we've seen the last of the Hero / Punk saga here in FIW....
CC: What a night it's already been here at the Winter Classic, and we are about to witness the biggest grudge match FIW has ever seen. Yes, that's Cactus Jack making his way to the ring.
CC: And it looks like he didn't come alone...that looks like Raven's type of back up.
CC: The last time we saw Cactus Jack compete in FIW, he was standing along side the Necro Butcher. Now, he's going head to head with him, in what I can only assume will be the most brutal match of the night, if not of all FIW history.
CC: And the scariest part is, Cactus Jack fully believes what he's being fed, and what he's saying is right. He thinks he needs to beat Necro so that he won't win the belt and loose his passion. Oh, you're going to see passion alright Cactus.
CC: I wouldn't wish my worst enemy into the position Cactus is - staring down an angry Necro Butcher. Necro has been waiting since last summer to get his hands on Cactus, and it's all coming to a head tonight in Queens!
CC: Oh shoot. Look at Necro's eyes. I think this thing could get real ugly, really...really fast folks.
CC: And this thing is underway, with Cactus realizing that he can't just play around with Necro in this match. He needs to keep Necro down.
CC: And Cactus is just beating on Necro. This is a truly disturbing side of Cactus Jack, and I can only assume it's going to get worse from this point on.
CC: And there, Necro was reaching out for that barbwire bat, but Cactus snatched it up...
CC: Wow! Necro just booted Cactus, sending him into his own barbwire!
CC: And Necro just cannonball sentons into the barbwire! Driving it hard into Cactus!
CC: Oh no...only minutes into this match and Cactus is already busted open...it can only get worse from this point.
CC: Necro's now driving his barefoot into the bloody face of Cactus Jack! This is just sick!
CC: Cactus is just a bloody mess!
CC: Oh, this can't be good. Necro's setting the barbwire bat up in the corner, obviously placed there with a purpose.
CC: HOLY! Necro just walked into a huge clothesline by Cactus Jack! That looked nasty!
CC: And Cactus just raking the eyes of Necro! These two are going to kill each other!
CC: Cactus just pulling Necro up to his feet...
CC: OH MY SHOOT! Cactus just drove Necro Butcher face first into the barbwire! I can only assume Necro is bleeding just like Cactus!
CC: I knew it was going to be a bloody match, but I wasn't expecting this...at least not this early...this is going to be one hell of a fight...
CC: Oh no...Cactus is getting a table...
CC: Necro measuring Cactus...
CC: And a big punch to the face!
CC: And that chair never looked deadlier, than in the hands of the Necro Butcher right now...
CC: HOLY SHOOT! That was like a gunshot here in the Elk's Lodge! Necro just killed Cactus with that chair shot!
CC: Looks like Necro's bolting...he's got to have some more stuff planned for Cactus. This is about revenge just as much as it's about getting to Raven.
CC: Oh my...Cactus looks like he doesn't even know where he is after that chair shot...
CC: Another table! Necro must have something really bad in mind here.
CC: What...what is Cactus doing...
CC: HOLY SHOOT! Cactus just dove off the turnbuckle to the floor of the Elk's Lodge! I think that hurt both men! It's moves like that that make me think Cactus really believes he has a true reason to prevent Necro from gaining the title.
CC: Just look at that image! This is war folks! I don't know what else to say about it!
CC: Cactus sending Necro back into the ring, but he's not following. This could be bad...
CC: What is Cactus doing here...I have a bad feeling about this...
CC: WOW! Necro Butcher just booted that trash can back into Cactus, and Cactus is stuck!
CC: HOLY! DDT WHILE CACTUS IS INSIDE THE TRASH CAN! I have never seen anything like that before!
CC: Cactus has to have no idea whether he's in Truth or Consequences or Queens right now, and Necro's capitalizing!
CC: Uh oh....this is bad...I don't think Cactus meant to leave that table on the ropes, but Necro's using it anyway...what could he be doing here...
CC: Oh...oh..HOLY FREAKING SHOOT THAT WAS THE SICKEST PILEDRIVER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! DAMN!
CC: You see the ref coming over, but it doesn't look like Necro's going for a cover...which scares me even more...you could count to one million....but Necro's got something else in mind!
CC: Necro's going back to that table of his...
CC: What the...why is Necro putting the table on the entrance ramp?
CC: And where's he going?
CC: Oh my...Cactus is just a lifeless body in the ring, bleeding like a stuffed pig!
CC: What the...a ladder!!? And another table!!? Necro doesn't want to just beat Cactus...he's trying to make a statement...to Raven...
CC: Necro's back in the ring, and he took too long...Cactus is up and....
CC: HOLY! Cactus clothesline that sent Necro right into that hardcore shopping cart! What a bad landing for both men!
CC: And now Cactus is on the offensive, and he looks like he wants to use Necro's tables!
CC: Oh no...Cactus is climbing the ladder...this can't end well!
CC: Necro's moving! Necro's off the tables, and Cactus is up in the freaking balcony!
CC: I'm having flashbacks to last summer in the Hammerstein Ballroom...Necro and Raven in the balcony...and we all know how that ended...
CC: This is not going to be pretty...I...I don't even know if I want to see what happens here...
CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! CACTUS JACK JUST GOT BACK DROPPED OFF THE BALCONY OF THE ELK'S LODGE THROUGH TWO TABLES! THAT HAS GOT TO FEEL LIKE SOME REDEMPTION FOR CACTUS JACK! This crowd is going wild!!
I'm just sad by the ending. 
The Cactus Jack vs. Necro Butcher match is insane! I found the entire match chaotic especially the revenge leap of faith. You have to be kidding me, a front flip from the balcony by Necro Butcher!?!? That was insane and it could have ended so much differently. Now I'm looking forward to the next FIW show. FIW A Night of Hardcores will be insane, I hope CM Punk gets revenge and Raven gets to recruit more hopeless people to his flock. This was an amazing show brm and I'm looking forward to the next show.
