RAW IS WAR (Monday 10th November 2002)

Eric Bischoff is standing in the centre of the ring with what appears to be the old WWE Hardcore Championship belt now emblazzoned with red spray paint the initials "F H T".

Eric Bischoff:[/b] Tonight the 10th November 2002, will go down in history as the night I brought hardcore back!!! I have in my hand the WWE/FHT Hardcore Championship belt, which will be immediately be reinstated under 24/7 rules.

The champion will be followed 24/7 by a camera crew which will be exclusive to view on it's very own website www.fht.com! And the very first champion will be this man... Tommy Dreamer!

The last WWE Hardcore Champion and ECW Original, Tommy Dreamer walks towards Eric Bischoff smiling rubbing his hands together as suddenly from behind a relative unknown wrestler attacks him with a steel chair.

The unknown wrestler is wearing a t-shirt that reads "LITTLE BIG MAN" smashes the chair over Tommy Dreamer back several times as the fans boo. He quickly pins the fallen ECW relic. One, Two, Three!!!

LITTLE BIG MAN BECOMES THE 1ST FHT HARDCORE CHAMPION!!![/size][/i]

.......................................................................

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS hits...[/color][/b]

FHT Ten kicks off with a huge display of pyrotechnics that rival anything ever seen! The Legacy Hall is most definitely the FHT Arena once more as the entire building is awash with blood red. The fans are all standing as Erik Knights announces the arrival of The F'N Legend & The FHT Franchise... Little Big Man... LBM!!!

Wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a milk carton complete with missing person details on the side of the carton with a picture of Dark Angel, Lbm soaks it all in as he smacks every single hand that is in front of him! Lbm makes his way towards the ring, climbing up onto the ring apron.[/color][/b]

Kevin Kelly:[/size]
Earliar today, it was revealed on legacyonline.com that tonight, the FHT Hardcore Championship would be on the line after Keith Williams stripped "Sick" Nick of the defunct championship for "failure to defend the belt in 3 years".

A-Damn Hater:[/size]
Keith Williams is definitely a man of the people! What this is means here is that he's just dangled this carrot in front of The F'N Legend Lbm and his Mystery Opponent - the chance to become the FHT Hardcore Champion tonight - 10 years exactly since Lbm became the first ever FHT Hardcore Champion!

Kevin Kelly:[/size]
What an accomplishment, The F'N Legend Lbm could achieve tonite. The chance of becoming FHT Hardcore Champion 10 years to the day he became the first FHT Hardcore Champion. I might not agree with Keith William's stripping "Sick" Nick in such a manner. But damn - the prospect of seeing an FHT Hardcore Championship match is just too good to miss!!!

The F'N Legend Lbm jumps up onto the top rope and poses as flashbulbs go off in unison. This is the ultimate homecoming as a loud "LBM" chant is drowned out by a "FHT" chant!!! Lbm is being overcome by emotion now!

In the crowd the camera pans to familiar faces - longtime FHT fans who used to attend the Superstars shows every Friday night back in the day. Lbm grabs the microphone hugging and kissing Erik Knights to a laugh from the crowd who hands him a tissue![/color][/b]

The F'N Legend Lbm: Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I got so much I want to say right here but the fact is I'd never do it justice. You see your all here right now to witness a show that will celebrate the legacy of the FHT! You fans aren't here to see me blubbing my eyes out talking about all the great moments that I've seen and indeed participated in, in this company - in tis building!

And theres been so many great moments! Tonight aint just ten years of FHT! No tonight marks ten years since I won the first FHT Hardcore Championship! And the fact in the 11th hour, Legacy management have decided to make this bout for the FHT Hardcore Championship just makes this moment all the more important to me.

To be competing in the first match on the 10th anniversary of FHT, just like I did 10 years ago is my absolute honor and pleasure. There is no one who was here on day one that is still standing here toni...

BLACKOUT

[/b][/center]

[The F'N Legend Lbm]

Then, without warning, Back in black comes over the PA system and the crowd erupts into a roar. There is a minute of confusion, as no one is coming out from behind the curtain. Suddenly a spotlight shines into the crowd, and coming through the screaming masses, who have no begun to sing along with the music, is RDJ. RDJ comes through the throngs of his supporters wearing his wrestling gear, a leather jacket and around his waist is the original FHT Hardcore title.

Kevin Kelly: REVEREND DADDY JOE!!! REVEREND DADDY JOE!!! The self-proclaimed King of New York has answered Lbm's challenge! Reverend Daddy Joe is the mystery opponent and this building is going mental!

A-Damn Hater: Lbm said that there was no one out there from day one that was still standing!!! Well right there is the third ever FHT Hardcore Champion! He fought and lost to Lbm on that very night kickstarting one of the longest running FHT feuds ever!

RDJ hops over the crowd barrier and walks up the ring steps, he pauses to stare Lbm down. Stepping between the ropes RDJ throws his jacket off and into the crowd, takes the belt off of his waist and lays it down between them and the two FHT legends give each other a cold icey death glare.

Kevin Kelly: 10 years ago to the day these two men met here in Manhattan New York for that title that RDJ has brought to the ring. These men started it all.

A-Damn Hater: yeah, 10 years ago today RDJ embarrassed Lbm, and I hope to god he does it again tonight.

Lbm throws the first punch, RDJ returns with one of his own, then Lbm returns with another, the crowd is boo'ing Lbm's punches, and every right connected to Lbm gets a cheer from the crowd, who despite everything is still enamored by their hometown hero. Lbm gets the better of RDJ, throwing three punches, stunning Joe, he runs to the ropes, about to deliver a solid running punch to the former 65 time FHT Hardcore Champion, but with a roar from the crowd, RDJ kicks Lbm square in the groin, sending Lbm crumbling to the ground.

Kevin Kelly: Despite Joe clearly fighting dirty, the crowd is going wild for him.

A-Damn Hater: New York wrestling fans are known psychopaths, and RDJ always delivers.

RDJ picks Lbm up throws him into the corner and stomps him down to the ground, walking backwards he makes a drinking motion with his hand, which elicits another cheer from the rabid New York crowd, and then Rdj runs for Lbm, he goes to smash Lbm with his knee, but Lbm rolls out of the way at the last second and outside the ring. Rdj connects hard in the corner and falls to the ground holding his leg. Lbm pulls RDJ out of the ring and hip tosses him onto the steel steps.

Kevin Kelly: Lbm is turning the violence up a notch with that hip toss.

A-Damn Hater: Lbm is just realizing that he is in a fight. If he doesn't keep it up, Joe will destroy him.

RDJ is laid out on the step, and Lbm delivers a stuff kick to the side of Joe's head, sending him to the mat. Lbm drags RDJ up just enough to slam RDJ's face into the steps three times before posing to the crowd, getting himself a mixed reaction. Lbm then picks up RDJ and goes to whip him into the barricade, but RDJ reverses, slips behind Lbm in a waist lock and delivers a release german suplex to Lbm which sends him clear over the barricade and into the crowd. Despite Lbm bodily crashing into a few of them, this sends the crowd into a frenzy.

Kevin Kelly: Dear god! That's concrete out there, Lbm could be dead!

A-Damn Hater: Fat chance, Gary, this fight is just beginning.

RDJ kicks over the metal barrier. He pauses and picks up a section of it high over his head and throws it right at Lbm, who was struggling to get to his feet before the metal barrier section collides into him with a loud sound of steel crashing into flesh. RDJ then stands ontop of the barrier and orders the ref to count.

1....
2....

Lbm powers a shoulder up, which knocks RDJ off the the metal barrier he was standing on and to the concrete floor. Both of them slowly start to rise, both of them on their knees and start exchanging punches yet again. Back and fourth the two go before Lbm blocks and slams RDJ's head onto the concrete floor. Lbm tries to go for the cover this time.

1....
2....

RDJ gets a shoulder up. Lbm looks frustrated and gets up, dragging RDJ with him. Lbm whips RDJ into a row of seats, sending RDJ flying and the seats collapsing underneath him.

Kevin Kelly: This is the very first match of FHT 10, and already these two men are destroying Legacy Hall.

A-Damn Hater: This building withstood Hurricane Sandy, but it might not withstand Lbm vs The Reverend Daddy Joe!

RDJ crawls to the steps leading to the higher sections of the arena, but Lbm stomps him. Lbm picks up RDJ and bodyslams him onto the steps.

Kevin Kelly: Good lord, Lbm could have just broken RDJ's back.

A-Damn Hater: Good! They're giving the fans what they want, extreme carnage!

Lbm goes for the pin again, but once again, RDJ somehow kicks up. Lbm slams his hands down, he gets up, dragging RDJ up, and he sets him up for a suplex, but RDJ blocks, slips out of Lbm's grasp, kicks Lbm in the gut and DDT's him onto the concrete steps. RDJ is sitting there smirking as the crowd goes wild, straining security's ability to keep them back.

RDJ stands up shakily holding his back, but he looks around and notices the Wally Wilson Memorial Bar. He points to it with a smile and the crowd start chanting "Yes." He drags Lbm up by the back of his neck to the bar and hurls him over the bar. RDJ hops over the bar after him. Joe grabs a bottle of Pure Grain and holds it up. Lbm is aware enough to resist with a punch to the mid section, doubling RDJ over for a second before Joe responds by plastering Dijon in the side of the head with the bottle. He holds the bottle up, which gets another cheer from the crowd before opening it and pouring it on Dijon's prone body. RDJ yells

RDJ: "DRINKS ARE ON YOU TONIGHT, BUDDY!"

Lbm barely notices, and he looks out cold. RDJ grabs a book of matches from the bar and again, holds it up for the crowd to see.

Kevin Kelly: Oh no, don't do this, RDJ! Someone stop him!

A-Damn Hater: For you morons at home, alcohol at that high of a proof is actually highly flammable, and it looks like The King of New York plans on roasting The F'n Legend alive.

All of a sudden Nina Wagner appears from the crowd, she jumps over the bar and stands in between Joe and Dijon, begging RDJ not to do it. RDJ looks to the crowd and smirks, then back to Nina before shouting

RDJ: "WHERE'S MY MONEY, BITCH?!"

Then delivers a crushing backhand to Nina, who crumbles to the floor. For some reason, the crowd just adores this highly questionable act.

Kevin Kelly: This is insane! Someone needs to stop him!'

A-Damn Hater: Are you kidding me? This is old school FHT rules. She should have known better than to get in between these two.

The distraction does buy Lbm enough time to get himself together and deliver a running short clothesline to RDJ. Dijon leans against the bar holding his head. He doesn't take long to put a few boots to RDJ when the former champion tries to get to his feet. Lbm grabs a bottle of beer, looking at it like he's considering it for a moment, but then shatters it over the head of The New School Hardcore Legend. RDJ starts to drag himself away, Lbm starts to stalk him, RDJ slowly pulls himself to his feet with the doors to the srena lobby behind him, Lbm comes running at Joe and spears him through the metal doors and into the lobby of the arena. The crowd has now begun a "This is Awesome" chant.

Kevin Kelly: This fight, and make no mistake about it folks, this is a fight not a wrestling match, has now gone out to the lobby.

A-Damn Hater: These two men will fight all over Manhattan if they have to. Both of these men are here to prove a poiont, which is tougher, which founding father of this company deserves to be known as the meanest, most vicious man in Legacy history.

Lbm scoops RDJ up, and runs him into the counter of a concession stand, then spine busters him onto the counter. RDJ rolls off the countertop and into the mini-kitchen, and Lbm hops over the counter after him. The under paid concession workers flee.

As RDJ gets to his feet, Lbm grabs RDJ by the back of his head and tries to dunk his face into the boiling oil of the fry cooker. RDJ blocks by getting a hold of the prep counter. RDJ then drives his elbow into Dijon's mid section, locks his arms around Dijon's waste and tosses him over in a sloppy gutwrench suplex that ensures that Joe is still on his feet. Joe grabs the vat of oil and hurls it down at Dijon, but dijon rolls out of the way just in time, avoiding the scolding and deadly oil. The vat crashes into the wall, knocking over a variety of cooking utensils, which fall to the floor with a loud series of "clang" noises.

Kevin Kelly: That's it. these men are simply trying to kill the other one.

A-Damn Hater: That's how old school FHT worked. You beat a man until he got pinned for three or until you permanently maimed him.


Dijon goes for the spear again, but this time RDJ was expecting it, he catches Lbm in his signature DDT into a Guillotine Choke.

Kevin Kelly: This could be it folks! This is RDJ's patented Daddy Dream Lock! He has put away many world class wrestlers with this deadly choke hold.

A-Damn Hater: Not many men have been able to escape this hold when they are fresh, but after the beating Lbm has taken over the course of this match, it's doubtful he has the strength to pry himself loose.

Lbm begins to struggle, trying to pry himself loose, but it's to no avail, RDJ has the hold locked in tight. The ref checks on Lbm, but Lbm refuses to quit. Lbm's hand finds something near by, a large two pronged serving fork, and he drives that fork like a knife ionto the exposed ribs of The Reverend Daddy Joe. The censors simply can not keep up with the sheer level of profanity that comes from RDJ as the fork is driven into him and he releases the hold on Lbm. He is quick onto his feet and staggering away to pull the serving fork from his ribs and he tosses it to the ground. With renewed vigor, RDJ charges Lbm, who is now up on his knees, and lands a big boot right to Lbm's face, practically stepping on Dijon's head.

RDJ drags Lbm up and back out from behind the concession stand, he spins Lbm around and throws him as hard as he can into a hot dog cart, sending both Lbm and the hot dog cart to the floor in a messy display of what happens when man meets metal and processed meat in all the wrong ways. RDJ picks the cart up and goes to tip it over on Lbm again, but Lbm manages to kick Joe in the mid section, doubling over Joe who takes a few steps away. Lbm uses the cart to pull himself up, and then pushes the cart after Joe, ramming Joe into a set of elevator doors.

Kevin Kelly: In all my years in professional wrestling, I have never seen a hot dog cart be used as an effective weapon.

A-Damn Hater: Why not? it's metal, it's heavy, and it's there.

Lbm is pushing the cart into Joe with all of his might, crushing him against the elevator door. The referee asks Joe if he wants to submit, but RDJ is still defiant. Just then the elevator doors open, sending both men and the hot dog cart tumbling inside. The door closes on them.

Kevin Kelly: where are they going?

A-Damn Hater: Wherever the hell they want!

Kevin Kelly: (talking to his ear peice)... We're getting word that the service elevator they got in has reached the roof... Oh no, that can't be good.

A-Damn Hater: or it could be the greatest thing of all time!

The scene is a rush of camera men running upstairs. When they reach the roof both men are trading knife edge chops. RDJ gets the better of Dijon with a thumb to the eye, he then grabs Lbm and throws his head into the metal air conditioning vents that snake all over the roof of Legacy Hall. RDJ climbs up the vent, he is holding his bleeding ribs, but still yells triumphantly

RDJ: "WHO'S STILL YOUR DADDY, BITCH?!

RDJ flies from the vent and crashes his elbow into the chest of Lbm. RDJ weakly covers him for the pin.

1....
2....

Dijon gets the shoulder up at the last possible moment. RDJ is shocked, looking accusingly at the referee. He is quick to get back on the attack though. he gets up and stomps Lbm a few times and then sets him up for a suplex, but Lbm blocks with his foot, RDJ tries again, but Lbm once again blocks with his foot. Lbm counters, RDJ then hammers the back of Lbm's head with some devestating forearm shots and this time successfully hoists Lbm up for a suplex. The sheer amount of damage RDJ has taken to the ribs and the back has taken a heavy toll of RDJ, who staggers backwards as Dijon is still held up for the verticle suplex, RDJ trips over the edge of the roof, sending both men falling from the roof, RDJ manages to position himself over LBM, as the two plummet to the roof of a car, collapsing it and setting off a car alarm. RDJ managed to land ontop of Lbm and that broke his fall.

Kevin Kelly: OH DEAR GOD, THAT'S KILLED THEM! SOMEONE STOP THIS DAMN MATCH AND GET THEM SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION!

Crowd: FHT! FHT! FHT!

A-Damn Hater: ...I have no words for this. I've never seen anything like it.

The ref is confused and standing on the roof, but since RDJ is technically pinning Lbm, he makes the count anyway.

1...
2....
3!!!!!!

Announcer: The winner, The King of New York... Reverend Daddy Joe!!!

Kevin Kelly: Reverend Daddy Joe has become the new FHT Hardcore Championship! Ten years ago on this night, RDJ became the third ever FHT Hardcore Champion. Heartbreaking for The F'N Legend Lbm who has been denied winning the belt 10 years after he became the first ever champion! But guys we need some help out here! Lbm and RDJ aren't moving!

A-Damn Hater: This matcfh had everything. These two men, these two legends, literally put their lives on the line for the entertainment of this red hot New York crowd. Whatever happens after this, and I honestly hope they're okay, but whatever happens, these two men lived up to the spirit of FHT and Legacy tonight.

Kevin Kelly: Ten years ago we seen RDJ lose the FHT Hardcore Championship to Lbm in the fourth match in FHT history! Since that night they have fought in mixed tag matches with their mothers! RDJ has mown down Lbm's son at the stroke of midnight & fiancee Nina Wagner! They have been Horsemen (H4H) members together 3 times. They have swapped countless titles! Lbm even got RDJ's mother pregnant! But they just made history!

Kevin Kelly:
I am not sure if I can stomach this night. It took four years of therapy to get over the last time I announced for the FHT!

LordAdRock (A-Damn Hater):
Wuss! After tonight, you are going to have to be committed!

Kevin Kelly:
Where's my Tums?

LordAdRock:
While the little girl looks for his tummy medicine, let's talk about our next match... "Sick" Nick versus Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Kevin Kelly:
I think the real question here is how does Nick being stripped of the FHT Hardcore title, just mere hours before the show, effect him?

LordAdRock:
He's a big boy. I am sure he can handle it. And with the hatred he has for Austin, I am sure he can forget about it for a couple of hours. By the way, what is the difference between a Falls Count Anywhere Street Fight and an FHT Rules Match?

Kevin Kelly:
I don't know? The name?

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

[robert]

We see Kevin and Hater at the announce table.

Kevin: Hater, it's great to be back and what a night we have seen so far.

Hater: Damn right, two wars between four all-time greats. The Reverend Daddy Joe returns to beat LBM, and Sick Nick takes out Steve Austin in an epic battle. What else can happen tonight?

Kelly: I don't know bu-

Kevin is cut off by "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger as Gregory Brooks comes strolling down to ringside with a microphone. Brooks walks to the announce table with a rather stern look on his face.

Brooks: Look at what I've been replaced by. Kevin Kelly? Really? Now, this is an actual pay-per-view, not an IPPV that's gonna crash after ten minutes. Heheh. Who is the Beastie Boys reject next to you?

Hater: A-Damn Ha-

Brooks: I don't care. I am here to introduce the man who represents Truth and Honesty. The man who is a civic cornerstone in all areas of the world, and most of all: The Only Thing to Come Out of the FHT! Robert Gordon!

"Fanfare for the Common Man" plays as Robert Gordon comes out wearing a white tuxedo. Gordon walks over to Brooks who motions him to a fancy table that is set-up on the hard-camera side. Brooks throws Gordon the microphone and takes a seat at the table.

Gordon: Did you people honestly think that I was going to compete tonight? FHT Ten is a celebration of failure, not a celebration of a man of my stature. I will not wrestle tonight, so once again the FHT lied to you and then disappointed you. So there, the FHT continues to exceed expectations and I was not surprised to hear that The Reverend Daddy Joe quickly exited the building when he heard I was here. So, I am going to sit back, eat some pancakes and watch a whole bunch of people celebrate failure.

Gordon takes a seat next to Brooks and a waiter brings him some pancakes. Gordon takes a bite and does an exaggerated thumbs up as we go to break.

[Absolute Horror]

FHT10 returns to ringside with Harold Gunther IV standing by outside the ring with a microphone.

Kevin Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen we have a few special guests with us this evening, so lets send it to Harold Gunther to get their thoughts on the evening.

Harold: Thanks Kevin, that’s right folks we have a few special guests who have been watching the show from some very good seats, let’s meet them shall we?

Harold Gunther walks over along the guardrail and stops when he reaches the New Horror Show NIN Horror, sitting in front row in a black Valentino suit with dark sunglasses.

Harold: Ladies and gentlemen please put your hands together for the one and only NIN Horror!

There’s an outburst of cheers and boos as NIN waves to the packed house.

Harold: Mr. Horror you’re looking rested and refreshed this evening, I hope you’re enjoying the show so far?

NIN: Why yes I have, I’ve always enjoyed the big FHT anniversary show, especially my classic matches at FHT-V and VI. FHT-IV was a Hell in a Cell match as you’ll recall, against Lbm. and I’d just like to say, my hat’s off to Lbm and Joe for their tremendous battle tonight. What a war that was! It reminded me of this highly underappreciated match I had with Blade back in the final days of ELITE, he threw me off a balcony as you’ll recall but I still came out victorious.

I also want to commend “Sick” Nick and Stone Cold for their performance. Stone Cold was always a hero of mine in the nineties, and of course I have found memories of defeating “Sick” Nick to become the final ELITE World Heavyweight Champion. But how about that match tonight!? That part when Austin sprayed beer in Nick’s face six times! Oh man, makes me glad I’ve decided to take time away from the ring.

Oh gimme a break! Hey! Hey Harold!

Another fan in the front row starts shouting down Harold Gunther, causing him to turn and take a few steps to find none other than Soul Reaper sitting in front row! There’s a pop of nostalgic cheers from the fans as NIN scowls off from the side, staring down Reaper as he sits in a black hoodie with the hood up.

Harold: Alright ladies and gentlemen lets hear it for our other special guest: Soul Reaper! Reaper how have you been enjoying the night so far?

Reaper: Well Harold I gotta tell ya I was liking it a lot better before this egomaniac over here tried making it all about himself. I came here to see if the old timers still got it in ‘em and from what I’ve seen so far, yeah, they do. But I didn’t come here to listen to NIN Horror have to remind everybody about how great he used to be.

Harold goes to say something but NIN shouts at him to come over, and then pulls his hand with the mic down to speak into it.

NIN: You know what we wouldn’t even be here, none of these people would even be here right now if it weren’t for my tireless efforts rebuilding this company. This Legacy Hall, this FHT Arena would still be getting rented out for Star Trek conventions if it weren’t for me helping to bring wrestling back to this town. If anything you owe me a big fat thank you!

A lot of jeers from the fans as NIN and Reaper glare at each other, the three fans sitting between them trying their best not to get caught in the line of fire. Reaper waves Harold over for the mic.

Reaper: The only thing I’m gonna thank you for is not wasting all of our time with one of your long winded, self-aggrandizing promos!

NIN demands Harold bring the mic over.

NIN: Well I’m sure as hell glad that we’re not going to be hearing one of your infamous shoot promos tonight! I'd actually rather shoot myself than listen to one more of those!

Harold rushes over to Reaper without even being prompted.

Reaper: Well you better be thankful cause I got a whole heap’a stuff to shoot on!

Gunther rushes over to NIN.

NIN: Oh, I guess you’ve been away from the ring so long you’re itching for a fight. Well if you wanna go buster I’ll show ya what it really means to shoot on someone!

The fans pop for the prospective match up as Harold rushes over to Reaper, quickly turning to the camera for just a second to make a very cheesy “OOH!?” face.

Reaper: Oh yeah! You wanna get another beating on the anniversary show? … Well that’s too bad, ‘cuz I didn’t bring my gear.

The fans start jeering and hissing as Harold rushes over to Horror.

NIN: Oh yeah!? Well you’re in luck … ‘cuz I didn’t either.

And now the fans start booing as Reaper and NIN emphatically shake their fists at each other, neither man showing signs of actually getting out of their chair as Harold faces the camera.

Harold: Well Kevin as you can see FHT10 is bringing a lot of memories and good times back to our fans. We’ll check in with Soul Reaper and NIN Horror later tonight. Back to you Kevin.

FHT10 returns to the commentary booth as our announcers segway the show into the next segment…

[Keith Williams]

Legacy switches from Reaper and NIN to the backstage area where Kristin Ricci is standing by.

Kristin Ricci:
What a action pack night we already have seen. RDJ is the new Hardcore Champion! Stone Cold and "Sick" Nick in a classic bout and tension between Reaper and NIN. But right now I have standing next to me, the owner of Legacy, Keith Williams!

The camera pans out to see Keith Williams standing by Kristin. The crowd boos Keith. He is standing there wearing a black muscle shirt, his hands tapped up and hair is looking wet.

Kristin Ricci:
Its been over 10 months since you last stepped into a ring Keith. But later tonight you find yourself going one on one with Alexei Petrovitch. What thoughts are going thru your mind as you prepare?

Keith Williams:
Where I am going to hold my victory celebration afterwards. Actually though you are right, its been 10 months since I last stepped inside that ring for a match. And if you remember, I faced Robert Gordon and won back FHT from the wwe. With a simple 3 count, FHT became mine.

Then some rookie comes waltzing in and from day one showed me nothing but disrespect. I didn't have to sign Alexei to a contract. I saw promise in the kid and thought I would give him a break in this business. But did he ever come up to me and thank me? NO. All he has done and go on twitter and talk about how bad of a owner I have been.

So I decided that I was going to teach the kid a lesson in respect. When I came into this business, I knew my role. I was respectful of the veterans and worked my way to the top. Alexei wins a title on Supershow 2 and thinks that he doesn't have to show that respect since he is holding gold. The thing is kid, you are still a rookie.

I've been in this business for 10 years. I have seen it all kid. I have been in every kind of match you can think of. I saw you last week come out and give me a "blank" check for our match tonight. I can make it anything I want. All you want is to get me into that ring.

This is where my years of experience come into play kid. I could had came out and announced our match type that night. But you see, that would give you time to prepare. By waiting till now to announce it, you can't prepare. But i have had over 2 weeks to get ready.

You see kid. I don't want to just pin you for a 3 count. You can come out next week and say that it was a lucky count. That i couldn't do it again. I want you to know that your better beat you tonight. I want to beat you so bad that you can't get back up. I want you to be laying on the ground, hearing the ref go 7..8..9..10 and know that there isn't enough energy in your body to get you to make it to your feet to answer the count.

In case what i just said didn't sink in kid. Tonight, you, me. Last Man Standing. After tonight, we will know just who is the better man.

With that Keith walks away leaving Kristin standing there alone.

Robert Gordon defeated Master in 11:52 in a FHT Rules Match

Master made his way out to much adoration from the fans as he prepared to make a speech thanking the fans for ten years. Unfortunately, Robert Gordon and Gregory Brooks continued to berate Master.

This lead to Master challenging Gordon to a bout on numerous occasions, but Gordon refusing to fight. Finally, Kevin Kelly received an announcement, saying that Keith Williams decided to book Gordon against Master....under FHT RULES.

Master went right after Gordon, who attempted to escape into a crowd of fans that hate him. After re-entering ringside, Master clotheslined him right back into said crowd. Master dragged Gordon over to the gourmet table, slammed him face-first into a plate of pancakes and slid Gordon across the table.

Gordon tried begging Master off to only low-blow Master and send him to the steps. Gordon tries to retreat, but Master tracks him down and throws him into the ring.

Master continued to clobber away at Gordon, turning Gordon into the proverbial pinball until Gordon managed to nail a lucky clothesline. Gordon once again retreated, but decided to bring out a few weapons. Most notably a trashcan and old Oaky: The Oak Stick.

Unfortunately, Master blocked the first trash-can shot, hit Gordon with the trashcan and then belly-to-back supelex'd Gordon numerous times on the trashcan. Master seemed to prime to finish Gordon off with the Chelsea Smile, but Gregory Brooks of all people. Brooks mildly insulted various British celebrities, but didn't expect Master to go after him. Brooks grabbed Oaky and climbed to the top rope as Master pursued him like Michael Myers stalking a blonde girl. Brooks tried to swing at Master, but Master took the weapon away from him.

Finally, Master got on the apron and offered to help Brooks down, but....SWERVE!

Master grabs a-hold of Brooks and sends him off the top rope and into the FANCY DINNER TABLE!

Gregory Brooks may be dead, as Master plays to the crowd. Bad mistake as he turns around to a Gordon hone run shot, made all the more better by Gordon screaming "BATTER UP!" Gordon gets o the mic to explain this:

Gordon: Batter UP! You know, like pancake batter.

Gordon goes to the outside and hits Master in the back and back of the head with the stick, and quickly checks on Brooks. Master has risen with a maple syrup bottle and then cracks the bottle over the skull of Gordon.

Master goes underneath the ring and takes out a new table and sets it up next to the apron. Master takes Gordon to the apron and signals for a apron powerbomb! At the last moment, Gordon nails a low-blow and sets-up for GREETINGS FROM STAMFORD! Gordon hits a running Greetings from Stamford through the table!

Both men are out of it, and Gordon barely gets his arm on Master as the refs counts the pin:

1

2


3!

YOUR WINNER: ROBERT GORDON!

Gordon finally rises, a tuxedo mess and helps Brooks to the back to much anger from the crowd. Master finally comes to his senses and receives a standing ovation from the fans as we go to break.

[robert]

We now see Robert Gordon walking towards the parking lot, luggage in-hand as Harold Gunther IV desperately tries to catch him. Gordon eventually stops.

Gunther (Out of breath) : Mr. Gordon, Mr. Gordon. Are you leaving?

Gordon: No, I'm going to Fairy Word. I've been humiliated on national television, my tuxedo is dirty beyond repair and I had to wrestle of all things.

Gunther: But this is FHT 10, people expected you to wrestle.

Gordon: NO, I was given the night off and Keith Williams decided to make an example out of me. Every time some suit comes breathing down on him or a fan boo's him, he does something to please them. To pander to those people. My best friend who's never wrestled a match in his entire life was thrown from the top turnbuckle and through a godforsaken table. Most of all, I had my face slammed into pancakes and had a bottle of maple syrup broken over my head. Do you know how much that syrup cost?

Gunther: Six dollars.

Gordon: Try sixty you son of a dick. The only thing that can rival that maple syrup is sucking on the teet on mother Canada herself. After tonight, I have a lot of thinking to do about my status in this company.

Gunther: Are you thinking about leaving Legacy?

Gordon: Not even close, dimwit. I'm calling my lawyers and my friends at the SEI. Change is coming to Legacy, the SEI is arriving.

Gordon gets into his limo and drives off into the night.

Dog Collar Match

-VS-

After a quick break the Fifth Legacy Supershow returns to the ring with Erik Knights and a referee standing by in the ring, which can only mean that it’s time for more professional wrestling action! All of the lights in Legacy Hall go dark and the haunted house jam “La friche” (the wasteland) creeps from the speakers, as spotlight slowly start trawling across the stage. When the soft singing begins Blackcat Meiko casually strolls out and stops as the fans begin booing, already with the steel chain draped over her shoulders. Wearing her Black Cats biker jacket over her dog collar & ring gear Meiko twirls a small link of chain in her hand, trying to hide an evil smile as she looks out at the crowd with excitement. She waits until the screaming begins to walk down to the ring, as the spotlights break up and freak out to the bombastic song.


Once Meiko finds her corner and her lights/music come to a close, the house lights dim once more as colorful lasers shine on in tune with the bubbly off-kilter dance pop of Grimes’ “Oblivion.” The fans cheer and soon enough Gemma Traumaward walks out to the stage but is uncharacteristically sullen, hands on her hips with the dog collar around her neck as she stares Meiko down from the stage. Gemma makes her way down to ringside and walks along the rails, slapping hands with fans even though her attention stays focused on her opponent. She eventually finds her way into the ring and the music fades out, and the lights return to their normal broadcast settings.


Meiko surprisingly is trying to fight back a fiendish smile as she stares down Gemma, who is completely on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum. Meiko gets her familiar jacket off and has new gear on, a black one-legged body suit with large white war kanji brushed down the long side, almost like a goth version Megumi Kudo’s famous outfit. Gemma is in her usual outfit of plaid skirt, thigh socks under kickpads, and a loose white band tank top over a black athletic top. She looks none too pleased as the ref gets the open end of the chain and calls her over, reluctantly going and giving Meiko a very mean look as the official attaches the chain to Gemma’s collar. With both women now tethered the referee calls for the bell, but unlike last time there will be no handshakes.


( ( (DING DING DING) ) )


Having originally made indie buzz for herself as a tough streetfighter wrestler Meiko is 100% in her element here, as she quickly grabs onto the chain and starts reeling it in. Gemma takes the cue and pulls on her end of the steel, leading to a tug-of war as both women inch closer and closer. The slightly bigger Gemma gets some momentum reeling Meiko in, but as soon as she's close enough Blackcat whops her over the head with a handful of chain! The crowd boos as le Tigre goes down to the mat holding her head, but Meiko quickly drags her back up using the chain as a short leash. Meiko wrangles Pinky around the ring and whips her down to the mat using the chain, dragging her back up and whipping her back down again for good measure.

Meiko reels Gemma up half way by the chain, using it to hold her head in place while she scrapes the bottom of her boot against Gemma's face. The fans are getting pretty loudly against the Flower of Carnage as she drags Machan to a corner, pummeling her with boots and slaps as all the referee can do in this contest is ask her to stop. Meiko takes the chain and hooks it around the corner post, walking back and pulling the chain out to force the dog collar to pull back on Gemma's throat like a noose. The fans scream at the devious wrestler as the referee gets on her case, pleading with her to keep it a little cleaner than this. Meiko simply shoves the official back keeps choking out her opponent for a moment, eventually releasing the chain to let Pinky slump down in a heap.


Commentary: Meiko wanted this match and has the experience in this hardocre environment, she doesn't just have an on-paper edge over Gemma she also has the psychological edge, and that may prove to be the key factor in this battle.


The Neko Girl coughs for air down in the corner as Meiko unravels the chain from the post, dragging Gemma out into the ring to snapmare her down by the hair. Blackcat tags Machan with a stiff kick snapping off of her spine, starting to look a little bored as she nails another hard kick. Meiko tauntingly nudges Traumaward with the toes of her boots asking her opponent to show a little fighting spirit, greeting Gemma back on her feet with a closed right hand to the jaw. Gemma drops to the mat and Meiko yanks on the chain just to taunt her, prodding her with stomps as she crawls back up.

Meiko pie-faces le Tigre a few times calling on her her battered opponent to fight back, soon getting her wish granted as Gemma takes her down by the legs. The fans come alive as Gemma mounts her former friend and pounds her down with forearm strikes, showing some babyface fire as she really lets out some pent up aggression. Pinky drags Meiko back to her feet and rushes her into the ropes, bouncing her off with a hard arm drag. Actually using the chain Machan tows Meiko back up and reels her into a hard headlock takedown, floating over to drag her back up for a snapmare. Traumaward runs into the nearest ropes and nails Blackcat with a low dropkick, mounting her back with a camel clutch as the fans approve.


Commentary: Meiko’s comfort with the match and her desire to torment her opponent might cloud her focus, unnecessarily giving Gemma openings to turn the tide of the contest in her favor.


Gemma stretches Meiko out on the mat and ties her up with a different hold every time she tries to escape, trying to bring a little clean wrestling to this otherwise hardcore affair. Meiko eventually wrestles out to her feet but Gemma scoops her up and steps back, deliberately slamming her down onto the steel chain! Meiko convulses from the landing but Gemma quickly rolls her over into a surfboard stretch to try and work over her back, but Meiko eventually fights out of it to her feet. She hammers Gemma with hard open hand strikes but quickly gets heel kicked in the gut, and taken back down with a rolling butterfly hold. The fans start chanting “Tap! Tap! Tap!” but Meiko keeps her composure, starting to fight out of it before Gemma switches the hold into a Fujiwara armbar.

Feeling the pressure in a big way now Meiko crawls for the ropes, but Gemma just drags her away and sits on her shoulder for a kneeling armbar. Le Tigre stretches that arm out doing her worst to Meiko’s shoulder, but the Flower of Carnage eventually summons the strength and pushes herself up. She rolls forward and when Gemma turns to face her she whips the Neko Girl over the head with the steel chain, dropping her to the mat as the fans heartily boo. Meiko gets back to her feet favoring her left arm, looking more fired up than before as she takes a length of chain and whips it over Gemma’s back. The fans jeer and cuss as Meiko whips her nemesis again, and again, beginning to sadistically enjoy a moment she’s been waiting years for.


Commentary: While Gemma scored a few points with her technical wrestling and managed to put a target on Meiko’s shoulder, the chain has proved to be the X-factor and Meiko’s expert use of it has put her back in the driver’s seat.


After toying with Gemma earlier Meiko now looks to punish her, blatantly choking her out by wrapping the chain around her neck. To make matters worse Meiko grabs a handful of Gemma’s pink dyed hair and pulls her head back, leaning over to look her in the face to let her know that she had this coming. Blackcat gets Gemma back on her feet and without much trouble spikes her with a DDT, floating over on top of her to press the chain down across her face! The fans nearly erupt as Pinky squirms, trying to pull the chain off of her face as Meiko smothers her with malice aforethought.

Meiko gets back on her feet and pulls Gemma up into a camel clutch, but she puts extra terror on the move by wrapping the chain around Gem's face and pulling it back. Blackcat saws the steel links across Machan's face, torturing her with a twisted kind of satisfaction before stomping her back down to the mat. Keeping the heat up with stomps & kicks Meiko screams at Gemma to get up and fight, starting to look annoyed as her former friend just continues to writhe on the canvas. Pressing the sole of her boot down on Gemma's face Blackcat pulls up on the chain, viciously squeezing her skull against the mat while practically begging her to fight back.


Commentary: With twisted dreams of revenge guiding her actions Meiko is out to torture Gemma above all else, and is starting to show signs of her seemingly bi-polar emotional state.


Using the chain as a lasso Meiko drags Gemma back to her knees, peppering her face with hard slaps before dragging her the rest of the way up by the hair. Keeping a short leash on the chain with her left hand Blackcat batters Gemma with open hand strikes with her right, passionately begging Machan to hit her back. Eventually Meiko just grabs a fistful of pink hair and yanks le Tigre's head about, but now Gemma twists around and draws out Meiko's left arm to rack it over her shoulder for an arm breaker! The fans erupt as Traumaward quickly steps behind a reeling Meiko and wrings her arm, pumping a boot up into her aching shoulder blade to send her stumbling down.

Looking more fired up than ever and down right angry Gemma jogs up to a kneeling Blackcat and kicks her hard in the shoulder blade, popping the crowd with each following kick to the same spot. Gemma gets down on Meiko and stretches her bad with the kneeling armbar, putting her all into the hold as the Flower of Carnage screams out from the pain. Meiko tries to escape it by rolling Gemma back with a schoolboy-like move, but le Tigre keeps on the wrist and transitions into a cross armbar. The fans are going wild as Meiko writhes from the pain, twisting and squirming on the mat. She crawls a little ways but not to the ropes, getting a handful of chain and using it desperately to whip at Gemma. The chain barely finds its mark but its enough to force Gemma to retreat.


Commentary: Meiko's obsession to have a brutal war with Gemma has cost her greatly, and her left arm must be wrecked by now thanks to Gemma's laser like focus on it.


Meiko cradles her arm against her body as she rolls over, unable to defend as Gemma slides in with a dropkick to her hurt arm. Gemma relentlessly goes on the attack on that arm, blowing off a lot of steam as she stomps down on Blackcat. The Flower of Carnage still has the chain in her good arm though and puts it to work, whipping it up at Gemma in desperation. But le Tigre eventually grabs onto it and takes control of the chain, whipping it down across Meiko's body to tremendous cheers from the crowd. Traumaward whips Meiko again and the Blackcat writhes, kicking up at Gem's legs and amazing asking her for more!

Machan whips Meiko again with the chain and Meiko actually laughs out loud in between screaming, begging Gemma to hit her again. Gemma scowls and hesitates in a bit of confusion but Blackcat makes the choice clear when she tries to steal away the chain, and Pinky puts her back down with a whip of the steel across the chest. Meiko reels from the pain but then yells out "I love it!" laughing and trying to cover up as Gemma whips the chain down at her head. She screams "I live for this shit!" as Gemma stomps at her, looking disgusted before balling the chain around her hand and dropping down on Meiko with a big chained up fist bomb! Gem sprawls for the cover as the fans erupt, but amazingly Blackcat kicks out just in time to save herself!


Commentary: A truly twisted display of raw venomous fighting spirit nearly cost Meiko the match, as Gemma finally sinks to her level using the steel chain to its destructive potential.


Erupting from the surprise the fans are in as much disbelief as Gemma, who rolls off to the side clearly in pain clutching her right hand. Meiko is even worse for wear as she lies motionless on the mat, blood now seeping out of a cut on her forehead. Gemma sits up nursing her hand and curses out loud, looking extremely frustrated as she palms her forehead with her good hand. Gemma staggers back to her feet and shakes out her hand, walking over and scooping up the wrist of Meiko's wrecked arm. But Meiko seemingly returns from the dead (again) by snaking her leg around Gem's arm, pressing the shin against her throat to surprise her with a gogoplata! With blood flowing down her face Meiko can't put a lot of pressure on the choke, but she can pull on the chain with her good arm to tighten the noose.

The fans desperately rally behind Gemma as she starts fading out fast, caught in a spider's web as Meiko cranks the chain with pretty much all her energy sapped. Traumaward tries to stack Meiko up for a pin but Blackcat keeps at least one shoulder up, fighting for the choke out as Gemma starts going limp. But Machan is still leaning over her and in a last ditch effort scoops up the slack portion of chain, slamming it down on Meiko's face to force her to break the hold! The fans erupt as Meiko goes limp with a slow recovering Gemma on top of her, both women nearly out for the count as the referee looks like deeply wishes he had a different assignment. But soon enough le Tigre is the first to stir, lacing her hands around Meiko's tortured left arm and wrenching it awkwardly with an Americana lock. Meiko wakes back up screaming and without too much delay taps her hand on the mat!


( ( (DING DING DING) ) )


Here is your winner of the match by way of submission... Gemma Traumaward!!!

The crowd erupts in cheers as "Oblivion" hits the sound system for the second time, sounding strangely appropriate as the fans celebrate to the upbeat song. But the mood in the ring is totally different as both competitors roll their separate directions, getting released from their unforgiving dog collars by the ref and the ringside medic. Gemma doesn't look like a winner as she clutches onto her hand, almost starting to cry from the pain and the emotional toll brought on by the post match adrenaline dump. The doctor presses gauze against Meiko's lacerated forehead, but nearly lifeless on the mat Blackcat does manage the faintest of smiles.

Pinky sweeps her hair out of her face and crawls over to check on Meiko, still concerned for her well being even after all of that. She gets close to check on her and Meiko pulls her in even closer to whisper to her, whatever she says setting Gemma off as she shoves Meiko back down. Traumaward rolls out of the ring and surprisingly doesn't high-five anyone, just looking very frustrated and tired as she walks up the ramp to the back. FHT10 goes to a break...

[Absolute Horror]

FHT10 returns from a brief advertisement break to roving reporter Harold Gunther IV standing by at ringside right in front of Soul Reaper and NIN Horror’s front row seats. While before there were three fans sitting in between them now there is only one young man, looking awkward and excited to be on camera as Reaper and NIN both sit legs crossed, arms folded, looking away from each other.

Harold: Hello I’m here again to check in with our very special guests, former world champions and Hall of Famers alike NIN Horror and Soul Reaper. Wow, it’s been one wild night tonight on the tenth anniversary of the founding of well, all of this. Let’s ask NIN Horror first what he thinks.

Harold turns around to face NIN.

Harold: Since we’ve last heard from you NIN Keith Williams announced that he and Alexei’s battle for the Internet Championship will now be a Last Man Standing Match! You’ve fought Keith before and you’ve fought the man who will undoubtedly challenge Alexei as Rookie of the Year. What are your thoughts on this match?

NIN: Well Harold you’re leaving out a big part of the history there. I didn’t just fight Keith Williams, I defeated Keith Williams in the last ever match under the FHT/ELITE name and became the only man ever to unify the FHT & ELITE World Championships. It was a pretty big deal. That said, I know how absolutely tough and above all stubborn Keith Williams is, but the man I fought in the final ever FHT/ELITE match is not the same man that will be walking down to this ring shortly. Keith’s getting up there in dog years and personally I don’t think he has the spark to beat Alexei, who has the hunger, the youth, and the burning anti-authority spirit that we all love.

Harold: Ooh, a bold prediction for our co-main event. How about you Reaper, you’ve known Keith for nearly the decade FHT’s been around, do you think he has what it takes tonight?

Reaper: No…

Harold: Oh! Well then–

Reaper: Shut up I wasn’t finished. No, I don’t think Keith Williams “still has it.” Keith is a shell of his former self just like most of these guys running around here, present company included…

NIN: … [mean mug]

Reaper: Keith has been a total joke of a boss, a gutless coward and I can only pray, PRAY that he still has the balls to take on this Russian kid one-on-one with no bullshit.

Harold: Hmm, so I see there’s no love lost for the boss even from people who don’t often, or even technically work here… Mr. Horror, tonight we saw you good friend Mr. Robert Gordon defeat the legendary Master in a wild match. But afterwards he seemed very upset and made an ominous promise that “change” is coming to Legacy. What could he be talking about?

NIN: Well you see Robert Gordon is a very principled man, a very strong willed man who smart enough to know that not all battles can be won with fisticuffs. I’m fully confident that Gordon is going to make Keith Williams sorry for jerking him around, and I just hope for your sake Harold that you don’t find yourself on the wrong side of history.

Reaper: Oh are you serious? Do you here yourself right now? I’m sorry Nancy but the last time I checked the word on the marquee was “Ress-a-ling,” not ballet and not for damn sure Gordon’s lawyer-ball. As a wrestling you always, everywhere have to be ready to fight, this isn’t some cushy 9-5 office job with paid vacation and personal days, this is a war, this is our life. A guy like you NIN Horror used to know that. Robert Gordon has always been a spineless worm, but what happened to you? You used to be better than that.

NIN: I’m sorry Reaper but I guess you really have been away too long. I have for all intents and purposes “mad it” in this business, there is nothing left for me to accomplish that’s worth my time or effort. I have earned all the perks and fringe benefits Legacy provides me and I am not ashamed of that. I am not ashamed that I don’t have to wrestle every where else just to make ends meat, not showing up here just because I burned all of bridges on the way out like you did. You know Reaper if you were more like me now your life would be so much better, hell, I bet you even wouldn’t be so grumpy all the time.

Reaper looks pretty steamed under his hoodie and leans over the fan in the middle to get closer to NIN.

Reaper: Oh, you think you’re so damn great? Well why don’t you say that again to my face?

NIN leans over and the two get nose-to-nose, as the fan in the middle leans back awkwardly.

NIN: I said you’re a miserable bastard who isn’t even welcome here, and I implied that you won’t be getting out of this sport without a back full of knife wounds. That good enough for ya?

Reaper: Good enough? Oh, I’d love to see just how good you still are, but just like your little buddy Bobby Gordon you just conveniently didn’t come prepared for a fight tonight. Pfft.

NIN: Oh, and I suppose you just ‘accidently’ left you tights back in California hmmm? Figures.

Again the two Hall of Famer fold their arms and turn away from each other, looking very annoyed.

Reaper: Well I’ll tell ya one thing Harold, if some of these Legacy boys had half the balls those two chicks just showed in that brutal match then I bet FHT11 would be a bit more likely to happen…

Harold Gunther IV gulps and rings his bowtie as he sends it back to Kevin Kelly in the booth, as FHT10 rolls on…

[Joker Jr]

["Stitches" by Allele blasts over the PA to a huge pop from the crowd. The Peep's Champ emerges from behind the curtain in a suit and he slowly makes his way down the ramp knowing this is his last time as he stops to give fans high fives. He reaches the ring and slowly run his finger tips across the apron as he walks toward the steel steps. He proceeds to walk up the steps and enters the ring where he is handed a microphone.]

Kevin Kelly: The Peep's Champ is here at FHT10!

The Peep's Champ: November 22, 2002 the real anniversary of FHT! Now we all know why I'm out here and I feel its the right time for it. I have played this many times in my head and I still don't know how it should go but I think it should start like this.......

[The Peep's Champ extends his arm and raises his middle finger as he slowly turns a circle in the middle of the ring before stopping in front of the camera "THAT IS FOR YOU" he shouts to a mix reaction.]

Adamn Hater: What? Why is he flipping off the fans?

The Peep's Champ: That is for all the critics, all the non-believers, all the Peters, all the Dijons, all the Niks, all the Joes, all the Johns, all the Roberts, all the Keiths and for all of those who wasn't important enough to remember. It is also for Stone Cold for never accepting a match with me.

[The Peep's Champ smiles as the fans chant "STONE COLD" with the mention of his name.]

Kevin Kelly: Listen at these fans they are hyped up.

The Peep's Champ: It is the same FUCK YOU that I have been giving you since day one ten years ago when I first took the microphone, its the same FUCK YOU I gave you when I won the FHT Heavyweight Championship for the first time, its the same FUCK YOU that I gave you when I beat Trippy P, its the same FUCK YOU I gave you when I beat Red Ninja to become the FHT Heavyweight and ELITE World Champion at the same time, and its the same FUCK YOU I gave you when I continued to come back and succeed.

Adamn Hater: I thought this was suppose to be a retirement speech?

[The Peep's Champ stares at the fan as they cheer him on.]

The Peep's Champ: Tonight I have to put down the microphone and unlace my boots for the last time but my legacy will live on because my name is The Peep's Champ and you can't tell the story of FHT with out it and with that I say FUCK YOU!

Kevin Kelly: It is a retirement speech but he is doing it his way as he always has.

[The fans chant "SAY IT AIN'T SO" as The Peep's Champ wipes his face.]

The Peep's Champ: Your probably asking why did I choose these words tonight? Its because I had to be the ego because I couldn't come out here as the nice guy tonight and face you while I say I am here by forced by injury to officially retired from pro wrestling........

Adamn Hater: But is that how you would want to be remembered?

[The fans chant "ONE MORE MATCH" and "STONE COLD" as The Peep's Champ fights back the tears.]

The Peep's Champ: Robert Gordan as one of the last members to join the FHT Hall Of Fame I am damn deserving of it. In fact I should have been the first so FUCK YOU!

Kevin Kelly: I think in the end he had to do it his own way.

[The Peep's Champ tosses the microphone down to the mat and quickly makes his way to the backstage area as the fans chant "THE PEEP'S CHAMP"][/i]

[Keith Williams]

The music of Keith Williams plays over the P.A. system as the owner made his way down to the ring. He stand inside awaiting his opponent when Alexei Petrovitch's music played to a huge pop from the crowd.

Both men were standing on either side of the ring as the announcer made the formal introductions. While doing so the ref was holding up the Internet Championship. The ref then handed off the title and called both men to the center of the ring. He gave them final instructions and directed them back to their corners. He then signaled for the bell.

The match started off fast and furious. Alexei being the younger of the two managed to get the upper hand early on. Keith managed to land a blow and while Alexei was stunned tried to escape thru the crowd. Alexei followed him though and the fight went all over the arena.

Eventually they made it back to the ring where after a rookie mistake, Keith managed to get the upper hand. Keith managed to land some power moves on alexei. Keith hit Alexei with a superkick which only managed to get a 8 count. Keith then dragged Alexei out to the outside and attempted to powerbomb Alexei thru the spanish announce table. But Alexei managed to escape and hit a spinebuster on Keith thru the table. Keith managed to get to his feet by the count of 9.

They trade a few more 9 counts inside of the ring. They eventually fought back out of the ring. They fought up along side the ramp. They made it to where the ramp mets the entrance way. Keith hits a low blow on Alexei. While down, Keith grabs another table. He sets it up and turns around only to met a attitude adjustment on the concrete. Alexei then picks up Keith and lays him on the table. He then climbs to the top of the entrance way and connects with the final image sending Keith thru the table. It became just academic as the ref counted Keith down for the full 10 count. The ref called for the bell and awarded the match to Alexei.

FHT 10 goes to commercial as Alexei is standing at the top of the ramp holding the Internet Championship over his head as medical personal are checking on Keith.

WINNER AT 22:30, AND STILL LEGACY INTERNET CHAMPION: ALEXEI PETROVITCH.

*sorry about the short write up. Wouldn't be able to devote enough time to a full write up till sunday, been busy. saw i was the only match before the main event and don't want to hold it up any long*

[Heavy Metal Snail]

The Trooper by Iron Maiden kicks up over the loudspeakers and New York crowd goes nuts. Their reaction is only increased when the Young Lion of Legacy actually comes out. He’s wearing a black longcoat with red MMA gloves and grey wrestling boots. Underneath the coat, he has a red t-shirt with simply “The Guardian of Metal” written across it in black characters. As he makes his way to the ring, Snail high fives fans at ramp side and when he reaches the end of the ramp, he walks right back up high fiving the fans on the other side. He then sprints down the ramp and makes a lap around the ring, high fiving every fans that comes his way.

Kevin Kelly: This young man has come quite a long way in Legacy. His rise to the top is absolutely astonishing in the world of professional wrestling.

A-Damn Hater: I don’t know much about this kid but I do know that he certainly has come a long way in the short 10 months that he’s been here. For a guy that started out in the backyard, to being in the main event of FHT 10, and potentially the next world champion, it’s a rise that even a cynic like me has to appreciate.

Kevin Kelly: And while he looks like the underdog going into this
Iron Man Match, Snail does have a ton of heart. We’ve seen this man take ungodly beatings and still keep going.

A-Damn Hater: Well that’s cause he refuses to go away. Look at J.C. and NIN Horror, they both beat the ever-loving crap out of him but he didn’t take those beatings lying down and he remained a thorn in their sides until he got his revenge.

Kevin Kelly: And that determination is going to be very important if he’s going to last 60 minutes with Red Ninja.

When he reaches the point where he started, he takes off his longcoat and throws it to an official at ringside before sliding his way into the ring and raising both fists in the air, prompting a huge burst of pyro to emerge from the corners and the ceiling. Snail then ascends the turnbuckles and points to the sky before taking his shirt off and throwing it into the audience. As the Trooper fades out, Snail awaits is opponent.

It’s not long before Red Ninja comes out as Strike of the Ninja starts playing a mere seconds after Snail’s theme fades out. If the pop for Snail was loud then the pop for Ninja is supersonic with every fan in the sold out arena going absolutely nuts for the FHT Original before he even comes out. When he does, the fans go bonkers and cheer so loudly, one would be shocked if they still kept their vocal chords intact. Ninja is wearing red wrestling tights with a simple white t-shirt, nothing fancy. His ring attire reflects his attitude. He’s all business on his way to ring alongside his protégé Jamie Coleson, simply striding to the ring with great focus, not letting anything break his concentration.

Kevin Kelly: Right here we have a true legend in not only FHT/ELITE, but in professional wrestling as a whole.
A-Damn Hater: Damn right! Red Ninja has done it all and he’s managed to solidify a legacy as one of the best wrestlers on the planet, a legacy that is matched by only a handful of wrestlers in history.

Kevin Kelly: And while Snail is looking to prove himself as a future superstar, Ninja is equally motivated to win this match. Many of Ninja’s detractors have called him undeserving of the world title. They say he hasn’t earned any of the wins he’s achieved and a win here tonight can silence the critics.

A-Damn Hater: Well I think those critics are talking a load of bullshit. Ninja might’ve been rushed into a title shot but he still beat the Reverend Daddy Joe, he still won the number 1 contender’s match, and he beat Snail a few weeks ago on Legacy. He’s more than deserving of the title.

Kevin Kelly: Nevertheless, this match has classic written all over it.

When he reaches the turnbuckles, he climbs up them, takes the belt off of his waist, and raises it above his head to a massive roar from the crowd. Ninja hops off the ropes and hands the belt to the referee as Erick Knights prepares for the introductions.

Erick Knights: It is now time for the main event of the evening. The following contest is a 60 minute Iron Man Match! The man who scores the most falls within an hour’s time will be declared the Legacy World Wrestling Champion!

The crowd cheers, excited at the prospect of an awesome match ahead.

Erick Knights: Introducing first, from Hartford, Connecticut, weighing in this morning at 224 pounds. He is the Young Lion of Legacy! The Guardian of Metal! He is the man who conquered NIN Horror! Please put your hands together for the challenger, HEAVY METAAAAL SNAIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!

The crowd chants the #1 Contender’s name along with Knights and breaks into a massive “HMS!” chant. Snail takes a moment to soak in the reaction and once the cheering and chanting begins to die down, Knights continues.

Erick Knights: And introducing his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jamie Coleson from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in this morning at 220 pounds. He is a 3 time FHT Tag Team Champion! A former FHT Hardcore Champion! A former FHT Undisputed Champion! The 2004 J-Cup Tournament Winner! Please welcome the current Legacy World Wrestling Champion! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED NINJAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The crowd goes wild at this introduction and begins a “Let’s go Ninja *clap clap clapclapclap*” but then they quickly break into a “You’re both awesome!” chant. The referee shows both men the Legacy World Wrestling Championship and brings it to the ringside table. Both men stare their opponent down before respectfully shaking hands. They then retreat to their respective corners and the ref motions for the bell to be rung.

DING! DING! DING!

The match is underway. Both men walk towards each other and reach the center of the ring. Champion and challenger then circle one another, each with their arm out, hoping to invite the other into a technical wrestling contest. Each one then extends the hand further out and clasps their hands together, each weaving their fingers in and out and around to see who gets the first grasp on the hand. In the end, it’s Ninja who gets the first strike, his veteran experience winning out, as he deftly moves his fingers on top of Snail’s knuckles and moves his arm around to put him in a top wrist lock. Snail squirms a bit and immediately tries to work his way out of the hold by taking his free hand and grabbing Ninja’s. He works to spin the hand out but it is an uphill battle as Ninja has the hold cinched in tight. Snail manages to roll the arm around, but Ninja thinks quickly and simply steps around Snail with his wrist in hand and transitions to a hammerlock. Ninja wrenches the arm to the side, doing his best to put pressure on the shoulder of Snail in the early goings. And for a bit, it works and the veteran manages to squeeze the shoulder of Snail at an uncomfortable angle. But it is still early in the match for any real damage to be done and the challenger’s resilience wins out, as he moves the trapped arm up slightly and, in one quick twist, throws Ninja’s arm over his shoulder. The throw takes Ninja down to the mat and the Guardian of Metal quickly takes advantage of the situation by locking in an armbar.

The armbar is locked in for longer than most people expected, mainly because Ninja takes some time to overcome the initial shock of being countered. But when the shock wears off, Ninja’s working to get out and kicks his legs up in an attempt to power out. Snail doesn’t allow that and simply locks the hold in tighter. This pacifies Ninja for a few seconds but not quite long enough as Ninja simply bucks his legs up to the side and wraps them around Snail’s neck. In one quick motion, he flips Snail over and traps Snail in a headscissors lock, trying to squeeze the life out of Snail with his legs. It works only for a moment as the next moment; Snail separates the legs, rolls around and flips over, getting Ninja in a jackknife pin.

1...

Ninja simply rolls the shoulder up and gets Snail on his stomach. Using some very slick Greco-Roman wrestling skills, Ninja uses his hands and spins a full 360° around the prone Snail, locking in a front facelock when he returns to the starting point. The facelock is tight and Ninja is doing his best to make Snail as uncomfortable as possible, wringing each breath from Snail, desperate to make his face that amazing shade of crimson. But Snail is not about to let himself suffocate, especially not in the early goings of the match. Snail uses his strong legs and plants them flat on the ground. He then summons a bit of his might and powers himself up to a somewhat vertical base. This allows Snail to get a few closed fists into Ninja’s side before grabbing Ninja’s locking hand is his and twisting out to a top wrist lock of his own. Ninja’s been on the receiving end of this hold many times in his career though, and to him, there is nothing special about this particular lock. He simply cartwheels out of the hold and grabs Snail’s arm when he reaches his two feet again. He then elegantly spins around and traps Snail in a headlock. But like Ninja in the wristlock, Snail has been on the receiving end of his fair share of headlocks, and is not crushed by the force of Ninja’s arm for long. Snail grabs on of Ninja’s leg with his free arms and throws The World Champ forward to the ground. With Ninja on his stomach, Snail grabs the leg of Ninja, puts his foot on the inner part of the knee, lifts it up, and stomps it hard onto the ground. Ninja clutches his knee but is able to roll back up quickly.

Kevin Kelly: Some very crisp technical wrestling from both the champion and the challenger.

A-Damn Hater: A little surprising there if you ask me. I expected Ninja to completely dominate the kid but he’s holding his own quite well.

Kevin Kelly: There are few men that can grapple with Red Ninja. Both men are very impressive out of the gate in this match.

57:30

Both champion and challenger keep their distance from one another, each one trying to rethink their strategy. It’s clear that they’re attempts at weak grapples are not going to get them anywhere. The distance is kept for only a short moment, enough time for the crowed to start a dueling “let’s go Ninja” “HMS!” chant. When the time comes, both men shift towards each other again, each one looking to begin the first step of their respective strategies. It is Ninja who is the quicker man and starts his plan by diving towards Snail’s leg, looking to take him to the mat.

However, Snail is not about to let himself be put in such a disadvantageous position and starts to hit Ninja with some bionic elbows to the back. Ninja persists in his attempt at a takedown, despite the resistance from Snail but the lack of give simply causes him to push his opponent into the turnbuckles. Referee Leon Spinx is right on the two wrestlers and immediately begins his count. Ninja honors the referee’s demand and backs away from the corner, allowing Snail to get out as well. Snail then decides that now it’s his turn to try out his strategy. He extends his hand, looking for another invitation to grapple with Ninja. The World Champion happily accepts the invitation but as soon as he reaches out, Snail drops his hand and hits Ninja with a stiff kick to the leg. The misdirection allows Snail to fire off a few more sharp kicks, some to the legs and some to the sides before Snail throws a roundhouse kick to the head. Ninja ducks away from the wild kick and Snail ends up with his back to Ninja.

The Canadian Ninja takes the immediate advantage he created for himself by walloping Snail in the back with a hammer fist. The younger wrestler bends down slightly as Ninja hits him in the back of the head with an elbow smash. Ninja then decides to give the challenger a chance to fight back by turning him around, only to smack him firm in the chest with a good old fashioned knife edge chop. The crowd lets out the traditional “WOO!” and Snail backs up a bit from his opponent before quickly closing the distance again with a chop of his own. The two then proceed to exchange some wicked stiff chops, the crowd going “WOO!” each time, increasing in decibel level as the chops got more vicious. In the end though, it is Ninja who wins the exchange, hitting a rapid sequence of five chops in a row to Snail’s chest cavity before rocking him with a back elbow to the gut. With the younger contender doubled over, Ninja runs off the ropes and sends him to the ground with a knee smash to the face. Now on the ground, the Champ looks to do some more damage by propping Snail upright and toe kicking him in the back a few times before running off the ropes and extending the leg, looking for a shining wizard. But the Young Lion of Legacy simply throws himself back and dodges the knee like Neo and rolls back to his feet as Ninja runs off the opposite ropes. When Ninja comes back, Snail takes him to the canvas with a drop toe hold. Snail then grabs a hold of one of Ninja’s legs and hits a pair of elbow drops on the knee before turning Ninja around and locking in a spinning toe hold, looking to wear down the leg in the early goings.

Kevin Kelly: It really speaks to the talent of these two competitors the way this match style changes so much. I mean you start with crisp chain wrestling, go to some puro-style strike exchanges and now we’re in some familiar submission wrestling territory.

A-Damn Hater: And Snail seems to be doing the smart thing and trying to get Ninja worn down enough so he can lock in that Technical Difficulties submission and get a tapout.
Kevin Kelly: Do you think it would be possible for Snail to get Ninja to tap tonight?

A-Damn Hater: I think it’s pretty unlikely. Ninja is a man who rarely submits, he never says die. If Snail wants to get Ninja to tap, he’s going to need a lot of skill.

54:15

Ninja is still trapped in the spinning toe hold, trying his best to find a way out. At ringside, Jamie Coleson does his part to help his mentor by shouting some words of encouragement, before starting a “Ninja!” chant to rally the Champ out of the Guardian of Metal’s grasp. And it works wonder as Ninja uses his free leg and wraps it around Snail’s side. He then uses the leg to pull Snail toward him which gives enough space for him to push him away. With some distance created between the two, Ninja gets back to his feet as Snail draws closer, looking to inflict some more damage. He doesn’t get the chance though as Ninja is right there with a spinning backfist. The backfist is enough to rock Snail and Ninja seizes the opportunity by grabbing Snail’s wrist and whipping him towards the ropes. When the Young Lion of Legacy comes back, Ninja chucks him into the air and brings his neck right across the ropes. Snail falls to his knees and sprawls out over the ropes. Ninja keeps the pressure on by running towards Snail and flipping him over the ropes with a clothesline. Both men fall right over the top rope and down to the floor, as the fans keep continue with their raucous cheering. Ninja then seeks to do a little bit of damage to Snail on the outside by grabbing him by his messy mop of hair and banging his head onto the apron. Ninja then scoops Snail up and simply gorilla press drops him right onto the apron and rolls him back into the ring. With his contender down in the ring, Ninja hops up on the apron and grabs the top rope, the crowd popping heavily, expecting a springboard attack from Ninja. And they get one as Ninja slings himself over the rope in a front flip, hitting Snail across the throat with a slingshot legdrop. The crowd cheers greatly at this display of athleticism from Ninja as he makes the cover.

Snail kicks out at 2 with authority. Ninja doesn’t seem to care and decides to ground himself after his display of highflying by turning Snail over, sitting on his back, and grabbing his arm in a tight top wrist lock. The lock does do a good job of keeping Snail grounded for a while and for a time; it looks like Snail might even be thinking of a tap out. But not now, not this time. Snail digs in deep and pushes his free elbow to the ground. Using his surprising strength, Snail pushes himself up and wedges Ninja off of his back. He then quickly stands up and kicks Ninja in the arm, breaking the hold. Snail then shakes his arm out of any cobwebs before blocking and overhand chop from Ninja and taking his opponent to the mat with an armdrag. Before Snail can do anything more, Ninja reaches his feet but the momentum doesn’t shift in his favor at all as Snail simply shoots for a double leg takedown. When he succeeds in taking Ninja to the mat, starts raining down some punches to Ninja’s head, hoping to weaken the champion.

While the shots he rains down daze Ninja somewhat, the FHT Original powers through and pushes Snail back to his feet, hitting a few clubbing fists to the gut of Snail. However, Snail catches one of the fists and throws the arm quickly over his own neck. In one quick snap, The Guardian of Metal suplexes Ninja, planting his back right on the unforgiving canvas. Ninja sits up and tries to get to his feet, only to get dropkicked right in the back of head from Snail, sending him right back to the ground with authority. Snail then picks Ninja and hits him with forearm to chest before sending to the mat just one more time with a cranium cracking enziguri. Snail then runs towards the ropes and hops right over them onto the apron, raising his hands in the air to will Ninja to his feet, looking to take him off his feet with a springboard maneuver.

Kevin Kelly: Snail has turned the match on his head quickly right now.

A-Damn Hater: I think a better description would be that he flipped this match over and dropped it right on its head. Just a few minutes ago, Snail was at Ninja’s mercy and now he’s on the attack.

Kevin Kelly: Who’s in control of this match has changed quite rapidly, hasn’t it?

A-Damn Hater: I really don’t know who’s going to get the first fall here.

51:00

Ninja gets to his feet and when he does, Snail jumps right to the top rope and springs right off of it, looking for a springboard clothesline. The air he gets is impressive and the crowd gives a resounding “Oooooooh!” expecting something big from Snail. However, his request to clothesline Ninja is denied by the World Champ, who tags him with a savate kick to the chest. The Young Lion of Legacy crashes down to the mat hard as Ninja grabs Snail’s arm. traps it in between his legs and twists the arm around, cutting off the blood and crushing the bone on the arm. This armlock is far more devastating than the top wrist lock Ninja had earlier and Snail looks far more trapped. However, the rookie keeps fighting and tries to plant his feet and stand up, but Ninja simply increases the pressure on the hold. Snail then tries to roll his way out of the hold but Ninja just puts on even more pressure, parking Snail right in the center of the ring. Out of options, Snail simply tries to force his way out using the free hand to separate Ninja’s legs. It’s not fancy or complex, but sometimes, simple and dirty in the best way to go and Snail manages to break the hold.

Both men are back on their feet but it’s clear that Ninja has the advantage and he immediately uses it by stunning Snail with a dropkick. Ninja then hits Snail with an overhand chop before scooping him up on his shoulder and bodyslamming him right onto the mat. Snail arches his back up and cringes from the pain of the slam as Ninja runs off the ropes and decks Snail with a sliding clothesline. Confident that he’s done enough damage, Ninja makes the cover.

Snail kicks out but Ninja remains on the attack by kicking Snail in the side and trapping him in a front facelock. Snail know that nothing good can come from this and instinctively pushes Ninja back into the ropes. The ref begins a count but only gets in one as Snail artfully twists out of the hold and pushes Ninja towards the opposite ropes. Looking to do more damage, Snail runs in the same direction, and has his arm extended when Ninja hits the parallel ropes. But Ninja has a devious trick up his sleeve and as he comes towards the eager Snail, he hops up over his younger opponent, grabs his arms with his hands and legs, and takes him to the mat with a crucifix pin. The fluidity and speed that the move is delivered with causes Snail to hit the canvas hard, right on his neck. The crowd pops at this display of athleticism from Ninja and loudly count along with the ref.

3…!

Snail kicks out but it is too late. The ref has counted 3. The surprise of the snap pin and the drop to the neck were enough to keep Snail down for the three count. Ninja’s won the first fall. The crowd begins another “Let’s go Ninja!” chant as Snail looks on in disbelief.

A-Damn Hater: Big pickup there from Ninja! He has scored a huge fall in these early goings and established himself as the dominant one in this contest! He’s setting himself up for the win here.

Kevin Kelly: Well we still have quite a lot of match to go. But you are right, Ninja does confer the psychological advantage of being on top. He probably has Snail a little frazzled. Let’s see what Snail does in response.

47:50

(0-1)

The Savior of Metal gets back to his feet and stares down Ninja
briefly before moving forward cautiously. Ninja extends a hand, looking for an invitation to grapple, an invitation that Snail hesitantly accepts. Both men lock their hands together again but Ninja breaks the grapple contest by kicking Snail in the gut and taking him down to the mat with a fujiwara armbar. Snail screams out in pain, as Ninja continues to work the arm. The vice on the arm keeps Snail grounded but Snail does find enough strength to make it back to his feet but Ninja keeps himself on the offense by kneeing and kicking Snail in the arm before grabbing him in a double underhook lock, wearing down the Young Lion of Legacy’s arms some more and keeping his opponent thoroughly grounded. Ninja then lifts Snail up in the air and plants Snail to the canvas with a double underhook suplex. Ninja then spins around and gets back to his feet with Snail and hits another suplex, wearing down the arms some more with the suplexes. He then rolls back up and tries to suplex Snail one more time but Snail is dead weight in Ninja’s arms. Ninja tries hard to lift Snail up but the Young Lion of Legacy does not budge. However, Ninja simply tightens the double underhook lock and with some good old fashioned elbow grease, dead-lifts Snail up over his head and looks to come down for the suplex. But the dead-lifting delay bought Snail enough time to roll off of Ninja’s shoulders and hook his legs around his arms, bringing him down with a victory roll pin.

Ninja rolls back out of the pin and gets on his feet, leaving Snail in a seated position. Ninja then throws a roundhouse kick to Snail’s head but Snail has the ring presence to catch the kick in his hands. Snail the stands up and takes Ninja down to the mat with a dragon screw legwhip. Snail then stomps on Ninja’s leg before putting both his feet on the inside of Ninja’s legs, grabs Ninja’s arms and pulls him back, locking in a Romero special. The special wears down all parts of Ninja’s body, but most of all his legs, an integral part in Snail’s Technical Difficulties submission. Ninja is having a hard time in the special but he is nowhere close to tapping out, not now anyways. Despite the pain Snail’s putting on him, Ninja manages to get in some crafty leg movement and break his legs free from the hold and gets himself to a vertical base, Snail arms still wrapped around his but not for long, as Ninja overpowers Snail and throws him over his shoulders. Snail lands on his feet and turns around, only to walks into a jaw cracking elbow from Ninja. Snail staggers back but only for a few seconds as he simply comes right back at Ninja with a European Uppercut. The uppercut staggers Ninja and another strike exchange begins, Ninja hitting a hard elbow that would lead to a responding uppercut from Snail, both not giving an inch not matter how strong each strike was delivered, the only real winners of this brawl being the crowd.

A-Damn Hater: Well there ain’t anything fancy about what’s happening right now. Both these guys are just trying to beat the shit out of each other.

Kevin Kelly: They’re both proving to be quite versatile brawlers, both men having quite good snap and stiffness. Neither one of them is backing down either.

A-Damn Hater: Sure is a lot of fun, isn’t it?

Kevin Kelly: Indeed, I wish I brought some popcorn.

40:30

Ninja tries to shake things up by hitting a back elbow and running off the ropes, hitting the challenger with a rolling elbow. Snail falls to the ground but immediately rolls back up and hits a throat thrust to Ninja. He then runs off the ropes and hits a roaring European Uppercut which sends the champion to the mat. However, Ninja himself gets up and simply stares down Snail. He then starts to belt him over the head with several elbows, Snail being unable to defend himself, before tagging him with a forearm uppercut that leaves the challenger breathless. Ninja then runs towards the ropes, hops on the second rope, and springs off of them, flattening Snail with a springboard side kick. Ninja then lifts Snail up off the ground and hits him with the Red on Impact, breaking Snail in half. Ninja then claps his hands together, getting the crowd behind him as he waits for Snail to get up. When he does, Ninja puts Snail’s head between his legs and snakes his arms in between Snail’s legs and lifts him up, looking for the Red Bread Winner. As soon as he lifts him up though, Snail wrenches himself back and gets his feet back on the ground before lifting him up in an inverted belly to back clutch and throws him down for an Alabama Slam. However, Ninja keeps his clutch locked in and lands on his feet instead of his back, lifting Snail up quickly and hitting the Red Bread Winner! The crowd goes wild at Ninja hitting his finisher chanting “Red Bread Winner!” and “FHT!” as the world champ makes the cover.

Kevin Kelly: And now Snail’s chances of winning have gotten even slimmer! He’s just lost two falls in the first twenty minutes!

A-Damn Hater: Ninja is giving the FHT faithful what they want! He’s in the driver’s seat of this match! I can see a title retention on the horizon.

Kevin Kelly: Keep in mind though, we still have 40 minutes left in this match.

A-Damn Hater: But look at Snail. The poor bastard’s been put through the wringer.

39:45

Snail did not look very good at the current moment. He was very slow to get back on his feet after Ninja’s finisher. As he got to his feet, Ninja immediately jumps on him by grabbing his wrist and taking him to the mat with an over the shoulder judo throw. Ninja then hooks Snail in a figure four armlock, putting more pressure on the tweaked arm of Snail. The Young Lion of Legacy squirms in the hold, his arm being weakened even more with each passing second. Snail takes quite some time trying to get out of the hold but he does as he rolls to the side and rolls up Ninja with a schoolboy.

Ninja kicks out as Snail staggers to his feet. Ninja tries to hit Snail with another elbow but Snail block it and kicks Ninja in the legs a few times until the Canadian is on his knees. Snail follows this up with a series of kicks to the chest which leaves Ninja staggered. The Snail supporters begin to cheer at the prospect of a comeback from their favorite wrestler as Snail grabs Ninja’s head and DDTs him onto the canvas. Ninja rolls over as Snail goes for the cover.

1…

Ninja puts his foot on the bottom ropes immediately as his shoulders are pinned to the mat. Snail lets Ninja stand up only to whip him to the ropes. This proves unwise as Ninja simply batters him with a bicycle kick to the chest. Ninja drags Snail to the center of the ring and grabs him in another double underhook lock, squeezing the life out of Snail’s arms. Ninja then lifts Snail up and hits a backbreaker, leaving his younger challenger prone in the center of the ring. Seeking to give the crowd a highlight moment, Ninja walks towards the turnbuckles and climbs to the top rope. The crowd goes wild, as does Jamie Coleson, who shouts words of encouragement to his idol. Ninja points to the sky and then jumps off the ropes with a perfectly executed corkscrew moonsault. At least it would be perfect if he actually hit Snail for as Ninja was about to hit the ground, Snail rolls out of the way, causing Ninja to eat the canvas hard.

Kevin Kelly: Ninja becomes living proof as to why they call those moves high risk.

A-Damn Hater: And now the match is Snail’s for the taking.

34:20

And Snail does indeed try his best to take the match by hitting Ninja with some hammerfists to the back followed by a spinning heel kick to the jaw. With Ninja stunned, Snail grabs him by the wrist and whipped him towards the corner, only to pull him back and hit a leg lariat. Ninja reaches his feet but Snail retains his offensive burst by grabbing Ninja in a fireman’s carry and hitting him with the signature Headbanger. The Headbanger sends Ninja to the ground with a thud as Snail climbs the ropes, albeit slowly, still feeling the effects of the Red Bread Winner. Once he reaches the top, Snail raises his fits in the air, looking to hit the Stage Dive. The Legacy Legion are chanting “Let’s Go Snail” furiously, hoping the Legacy Original finally gets his first fall of the match. However, he is denied, as Ninja gets back to his feet and shakes the ropes, unbalancing Snail in the process. Ninja then climbs to the top rope and begins punching Snail reapetedly before finally draping his arm over the neck, looking for a superplex. The crowd “Oohs” in anticipation, hoping the big move delivers. But before he can do it, Snail knees him in the stomach and pushes him off the top rope to a massive applause from the Legacy Faithful and a couple of boos from the FHT Faithful. With Ninja now on the ground, Snail wastes no time and flips right off the ropes, crashing onto Ninja with the Stage Dive! The crowd goes wild, having never seen Snail finish an opponent off with the senton bomb. Snail then makes the cover as the ref counts.

(1-2)

Kevin Kelly: Snail gaining more and more momentum as this match goes on. He’s now back in this!

A-Damn Hater: Well I guess you can never count him out.

Ninja looks a bit shocked. How could Snail get such an easy one on him? Well Ninja won’t let it happen again. He has a plan. Snail respectfully waits for Ninja to get back up but Ninja stops playing the nice guy as he rolls out of the ring. Snail is a little surprised. Why would Ninja try such a cowardly tactic? Ninja goes over to Jamie Coleson and starts to talk some strategy. Snail goes out of the ring, not liking the fact that Ninja was stalling the match one bit. As he goes towards Ninja, the World Champion turns around and kicks Snail in the gut before hitting an exploder suplex on Snail, sending the challenger right into the steel steps. Ninja then rolls back into the ring and demands for the ref to make the count. The crowd actually starts to first real boo of the match, with the Legacy Legion not supporting Ninja’s dastardly tactics one bit.

Kevin Kelly: What did Ninja just do!? Did he just cheat!?

A-Damn Hater: I think outsmart is the better term. Snail didn’t have to follow him you know.

Kevin Kelly: But it’s just so unlike him! Ninja’s not the kind of guy to let one pinfall get to him.

The ref looks hesitant to count but Ninja insists that he does.

Snail gets back to the ring but Ninja immediately goes after him, hitting a rolling wheel kick. With Snail on the ground, Ninja stops playing around and simply locks in a cross armbreaker on Snail, looking to pull the tweaked shoulder out of its socket. Snail screams out in pain, trying his best to break the hold but failing, as Ninja has is locked up pretty tight. The only way out is for him to crawl to the ropes which he only barely does. Once he reaches the ropes, the ref counts to 3 before Ninja finally breaks the hold. Snail rubs the shoulder as Ninja picks him up and drags him to the center of the ring. Ninja then hits a dropsault to the chin of Snail, causing Snail to fall right back into the ropes. Ninja then rams his boot in Snail’s head. With Snail stunned, Ninja turns him around and drapes over the ropes. He then puts his boots on Snail’s neck, pushing it right into the ropes. The ref again counts and again, Ninja breaks at 3. Ninja then runs off of the ropes, looking to hit the 613. But as he came to the ropes, Snail rolled out of the way, leaving Ninja standing on the apron.

Snail then runs towards Ninja on the apron and stuns him with an enziguri before pulling him up on the top rope. Snail then throws Ninja off the top rope with a swinging neckbreaker. He then hits a few stomps on Ninja before picking him and grabbing him in a rear waistlock which Ninja quickly breaks it and lifts him up in a fireman’s carry, and drops him on his knees with a double knee gutbuster. Snail clutches his stomach as Ninja runs towards him and hits a running senton. Now with control of the match, Ninja picks up Snail, looking for another Red Bread Winner. However, Snail is prepared and grabs Ninja’s legs, tripping him to the mat with a double leg takedown. Snail then turns Ninja around and locks in a Boston crab, wearing down the legs of Ninja some more. Ninja has quite a bit of trouble escaping the hold, Snail has it locked in tight and Ninja can’t get out in anyway other than fiendishly crawling towards the ropes and grabbing them.

As Ninja makes it to his feet when Snail breaks the hold, he still peruses, grabbing Ninja in a rear waistlock and hits a German Suplex before rolling over and hitting a tiger suplex. He then rolls over one last time and drops Ninja with the last suplex of his signature For Whom the Bell Tolls suplex combination. With Ninja on the ground, Snail picks him up and puts him in between his legs, crossing the arms around his throat and lifting him up, hitting the Mosh Pit! The Legacy Legion goes crazy as Snail makes the second cover of the match.

(2-2)

28:35

Kevin Kelly: And this match is all tied up at 2-2!

A-Damn Hater: Snail making a very impressive comeback, Ninja’s seriously going to have to rally if he wants to pull ahead and retain his title.

Kevin Kelly: And they still have 30 minutes left in this match.

Snail waits for Ninja to stand up. As he does, Snail looks to slow down the pace of the match and invites the staggering Ninja to grapple. Ninja rejects the invitation by slapping Snail across the face and taking him to the mat with a roundhouse. For the next few minutes, Ninja doesn’t bother going for many throws. The occasional bodyslam and suplex enter the fray, but he’s mostly just beating the ever-loving shit out of Snail, the crowd not appreciating the beatdown. At one point, Ninja throws Snail into the corner and kicks him so hard in the mouth, a couple teeth fly out. The FHT Faithful cheer, happy at the sight of blood in the match, but the Legacy Legion are booing out of concern for Snail’s health and safety. Snail does eventually mount a comeback and hits Ninja with some fancy kicks before climbing to the top rope and hitting Ninja with a slick flying tornado DDT. Snail then wears down the leg some before locking in his signature Technical Difficulties.

Kevin Kelly: My god is he actually looking for a tapout from Ninja!?

A-Damn Hater: There’s no way in hell that’s going to happen!

Kevin Kelly: Anything can happen here.

Ninja struggles in the hold some, trying his best to escape from the hold. But his efforts work not at all, as Snail simply tightens the hold, powering through his tweaked arm. Eventually, Ninja decides that the best course of action is to crawl toward the ropes. This proves more difficult than he thought, as each inch he crawl simply brings more and more pain from the deadly submission. Ninja is just fingertips length away from the ropes now, desperate to get out. But Snail sees this and loosens up on the hold to pull Ninja away from.

Ninja’s in the center of the ring.

There’s nowhere to go.

He can’t fight out of it.

Anymore attempted movement will just bring more pain and damage.

He has no choice…

He has to…

He taps out!

(3-2)

The Legacy Legion goes crazy. Ninja has just tapped out! Snail made the world champion tap! The FHT Faithful though, are booing the challenger. How dare him! How dare he make Ninja tap!

Kevin Kelly: I can’t believe it! Ninja just tapped!

A-Damn Hater: Hell has frozen over here in New York City! Red Ninja tapped out!

Kevin Kelly: And for the first time in 40 Minutes, Snail has the lead!

A-Damn Hater: Could we be crowning a new world champion tonight!?

18:15

When both men arise Ninja is dazed and hurt, but above all else angry. For the first time in the entire match, he was losing. He gave up three straight falls to an unknown who hasn’t even been in the company for a year. That’s unacceptable. And he seeks to make right. When Snail tries to hit him with another diving move, Ninja simply steps out of the way a la Samoa Joe and gets back to working the arm. This time though, Ninja’s abandons all pretenses of technical wrestling or respect and simply begins to beat the arm up, stomping it, kicking it and hitting it with any move he can. He’s no longer looking to wear down Snail’s arm; he’s looking to break it. He continues this string when he pulls him towards the ropes and drops the arm across the top rope before pulling him over the top and down to ringside with a judo toss. Ninja then whips Snail into the post and bangs the arm several times into the metal, only stopping to roll in and out of the ring to break the ref’s count. Ninja then throws Snail’s head into the post before sizing the arm up on the post and hitting it with a running dropkick. Snail throws Ninja back into the ring and is about to go back in when he’s stopped by Jamie Coleson.

Jamie Coleson: What are you doing!? Are you trying to kill the poor bastard!?

Red Ninja: This doesn’t concern you!

Jamie Coleson: What are you…?

Red Ninja: Stay out of this!

Ninja pushes Coleson away and goes back into the ring.

Kevin Kelly: Well that’s odd. There’s a bit of a rift forming between Jamie Coleson and Red Ninja. Coleson appears to be disagreeing with what Ninja’s been doing to Snail’s arm.

A-Damn Hater: But Ninja has a point. It’s none of his business. He’s here to observe and watch the master at work and this is Ninja at work.

Snail is able to recover by the time Ninja gets to the ring and manages to mount a sizeable defense of kicks, even hitting Ninja with a nice looking running superkick. But his defense is quickly shattered when Ninja hits a jumping double knee armbreaker and proceeds to waste no time locking in the Canadian Clutch, pulling especially hard on the injured arm of Snail. Now it’s Snail who’s in the vulnerable position, trying his best to fight his way out of the hold. However, he realizes that Ninja has the hold locked in too tightly and that any attempts of escape will just cause more damage to his arm. He has no choice but to tap out.

Kevin Kelly: We’re back to the tie!

A-Damn: And less than 10 minutes for both to score the win.

The next eight minutes are pure chaos. Despite an injured shoulder, missing teeth, and blood pouring out of his mouth, Snail unleashes a flurry of offense, desperate to catch Ninja with one last pin. Ninja tries the same and the clock winds down as both men throw everything they have. But both men counter as well. Ninja hits a bossman slam but Snail rolls him up when he goes for a pin. Snail hits Heavy Metal Doomsday but Ninja rolls out of the ring. Ninja goes for a backslide but Snail hits him with a neckbreaker. Snail tries to catch him with a CHIKARA Special but Ninja lifts him up and hits a Death Valley Driver. Both men end up simply staring the other down as the clock continues to burn precious seconds.

Draw! (3-3)

The crowd boos intensely and immediately begins a “five more minutes!” chant, desperate to see this match with a decisive winner. Snail and Ninja both go to the ref and ask for it and after some persuasion, the ref goes over to Erick Knights.

Erick Knights: Ladies and Gentlemen, the referee has officially given five more minutes to this match!

A-Damn Hater: Five more minutes! These two are going to need to work like crazy to get a win.

Kevin Kelly: We’ll be here all night if we have to. A winner must be crowned.

The battle quickly swings in the favor of Snail as he hits the Distortion Neckbreaker out of the gate and lifts up Ninja for the Inverted Cross, looking to get his precious fall early in these last five minutes. But in full survival mode, Ninja breaks the underhooks and pulls himself up, taking Snail down with a rarely seen spinning headscissors takedown. As soon as Snail hits the ground, Ninja puts some forearms to his head and locks in a triangle choke, looking to capitalize on the fatigue that Snail must be feeling after going for sixty minutes. Indeed, the Hartford Native was pacified quite a lot by the hold and simply squirms around in it, trying to get out, but failing. Ninja doesn’t like still seeing Snail with some life left in him and begins to elbow Snail in the face rapidly, hoping to bring him to unconsciousness quicker. Snail still is a fighter and pulls himself through trying to stand up. When he does, he grabs Ninja, who’s still elbowing his face, and lifts him up, going for a powerbomb. Ninja’s getting desperate and proceeds to tighten the choke, tighter than he’s ever applied it, and elbowing him at a rate that few men have witnessed. And then, Snail gives in. After three whole minutes of fighting in the hold and taking several elbows to the head, Snail’s knees buckle under his own weight, his arms go limp, and he crashes to the ground like an oak tree. Ninja still has the hold locked in and the referee sees that Snail is clearly unconscious. He calls for the bell.

With his opponent unconscious, Ninja simply gets out of the ring and grabs his title, burning through the last thirty seconds.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!

Erick Knights: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner by four falls to three, and stiiiiiiiiiiiil Legacy World Wrestling Champion! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED NINJA!

A-Damn Hater: What a match! What a match! Ninja retains his title by the skin of his teeth! That was one for the record books! That probably silenced his critics!

Kevin Kelly: Ninja did show quite an intensity in this match. It was a bit uncomfortable to watch at times.

A-Damn Hater: But it sure as hell was memorable!

Ninja simply grabs his title, hoists it above his head and walks right up the entrance ramp, not giving Snail any second thought. He is stopped by Jamie Coleson though.

Jamie Coleson: What was that!? You just suffocated him! Shouldn’t you at least check on him!?

Red Ninja: No.

Jamie Coleson: That’s…

Red Ninja: Quiet! It doesn’t matter!

Jamie Coleson: It sure as hell does!

Ninja simply pushes Coleson aside and walks to the top of the ramp before posing with his world title again. Coleson goes to the ring to check on Snail, who’s stirring but still out like a light. The crowd is not sure what to think. Some are cheering, some are booing, but most are chanting “That was awesome!” Ninja keeps posing with the world title as FHT 10, is brought to an end.
