Triple Threat Tag Team Match
The Usual Suspects vs. Koolstorm vs. The Motto
Three FGA tag teams look to battle for positioning in this tag team showcase. With the announcement of the Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament and the eventual debut of the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship, could this match serve as a preview of what's to come?
4-Way Fray
Heather Halliwell vs. Wade Nolan vs. Noah van Dyke vs. Sean Sands
Four FGA newcomers look to impress in their FGA supershow debuts. Speed, power, and aerial ability will all be on this display in this four way match. With Scramble Rules in place, the action will certainly be wild and fast. Which of these grapplers will separate themselves from the rest of the pack as we head into Summer?
Special Attraction
"Marvelous" Marvin Andrews vs. "The SoCal Switchblade' Adam Stryker
Guest star Adam Stryker is chomping at the bit for action. He doesn't want to wait until Dynamic Duos to get into an FGA ring. So he'll be going up against FGA newcomer Marvin Andrews. Can Stryker show FGA what all the hype is about? Or can Andrews pull off a victory over one of the most sought after men on the independent scene?
Already signed!
"Wild Thing" Wayne Carruthers vs. Johnny Karma
Wayne Carruthers and Johnny Karma have impressed many since their arrivals in FGA around the same time. Both men host popular talk shows. Carruthers is currently unbeaten in singles action. Karma has not only defeated Chris Bond, but he's also had the most eliminations and lasted the longest in the Gold Rush Rumble. It seemed as if it was only a matter of time until these two crossed paths. And they did on a rare in-ring version of Wayne's World, when Karma crashed the party and showed nothing but disrespect to Carruthers. FGA Officials have been dying to see these two go at it for quite some time. But after the altercation that happened at the White Plains DVD Taping, they've decided to put two of FGA's rising stars in the same ring. Word has it that a Pride Championship match could be in the future for the winner of this match. Can Carruthers continue to defy the odds and prove the doubters wrong? Or will Karma once again back up his talk inside the squared circle?
"American Wolf" Jason Richards vs. "The Future" Anton Chase
In a different promotion a year ago, Anton Chase defeated Jason Richards. During their second encounter here in FGA, Richards was able to best Chase one on one. Since then, Chase has targeted the American Wolf. Chase refuses to be used as a stepping stone. He refuses to have Richards make a name for himself here at his expense. So a tiebreaker of sorts has been set. After eliminating each other from the Gold Rush Rumble and with one win a piece, who will be able to walk away from this match with their arm raised in victory?
Interpromotional Showcase
"FGA's Last Son" A.J. Fairchild vs. "Chicago's Finest" John Pariah
PWX mainstay and wrestling superstar John Pariah accepts Fairchild's challenge for this Special Attraction. It's student versus teacher. Fairchild vs. Pariah. Did Pariah teach Fairchild everything he knows... or only everything he wanted him to know? And can Fairchild continue his path back to the FGA Championship by going through his very own mentor?
Camellia D. Magna vs. "The Rogue" Michael Tomkins
Michael Tomkins has returned to the company that he once dominated. The former FGA Champion vows to become the FGA Champion once again. But first, he set his sights at the “bottom” of the company with Camellia D. Magna. Tomkins has repeatedly sent his associates to do his dirty work for him, including eliminating Magna from the Gold Rush Rumble. But Magna has not backed down once. The Southern Belle refuses to be intimidated by Tomkins or his lackeys. At All-Star Showdown II, Tomkins will no longer be able to hide behind Koolstorm, Dan Thorton, Timmy Brown or anyone else. Will Magna be able to capture the biggest win of her career? Or will Tomkins be able to fend for himself?
Dog Collar Match
"Hot Stuff" Johnny Blayze vs. "Third Wave Threat" Alexia Brandt
Johnny Blayze blamed his failure to win the Gold Rush Rumble on newcomer Alexia Brandt. While it's true that Brandt did eliminate him, she has repeatedly offered Blayze the chance to prove himself one on one against her. But all of her challenges have been ducked by Blayze. Ever since turning on Pat Gordon, Jr, Blayze has showed a more vicious side to him. And that viciousness was on full display when he threw a fireball at Brandt. But after weeks of ducking, Blayze won't be able to run for much longer. Can the "Third Wave Threat" get her long-awaited revenge on Blayze? Or will Blayze be able to prove how "superior" he is?
Pride Championship Match
(c) Chandler Scott vs. J.T. Cash
Chandler Scott has always been over the top with his display of arrogance. But it's been taken to a new level after injuring Kevin Hardaway, winning the Pride Champion and capturing the GFC World Heavyweight Championship in Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER. J.T. Cash sees a lot of his former self in Chandler. He used to be cocky just like him. He used to flaunt his success in everyone's face just like him. But after the death of his close friend and his return to the wrestling world, The Enigma has a different approach to life. After publicly making his dislike for Chandler's actions known, Cash has vowed to humble the Harvard alum and take his Pride Championship in the process. For now, this match remains non-title. Will Chandler continue his recent hot streak? Or will Cash be able to rekindle his past glory and potentially capture the championship?
FGA Championship Match
(c) Chris Q vs. Chris Bond
After coming so close to becoming the FGA Champion, Chris Bond challenged Chris Q to a rematch for the FGA Championship. A challenge that was promptly denied by the then-champion. During Chris Q's title defense against Dom Harter, it could be argued that Chris Bond played a part in his loss by inadvertently helping Harter. Chris Q has made it known that there are four men on his hit list (The Murder and Bond). And after Bond once again interjected himself into his business, Chris Q greeted him with a chairshot to the head, followed by a Compactor onto the chair for good measure. Now with the FGA Championship back around his waist, Chris Q continues to X off the remaining names on his Hit List. Can Bond learn the errors of his ways from Only the Strong Survive and become the next FGA Champion? Or will the Big Bad of FGA continue his rampage until all four names on his Hit List have been snuffed out?
STEEL CAGE MAYHEM
The Murder vs. Pat Gordon Jr, Ryan Kidd and Kevin Hardaway
After six months of watching The Murder wreak havoc on FGA... after six months of fighting an uphill battle against The Murder... this is what it comes down to. All three members of The Murder (Malcolm Drake, Dom Harter and Bob Pooler) taking on Pat Gordon, Jr, Ryan Kidd and Kevin Hardaway in FGA's first-ever "Steel Cage Mayhem" Match. The match will start with two grapplers entering the Steel Cage. Every five minutes, one man from each team will enter the ring until all six participants have entered. Eliminations can occur by pinfall or submission. Eliminations can also occur at anytime during the match. The match is won when all three members of a team have been eliminated. Will Pat Gordon, Jr and company finally rid FGA of these murderous crows? Or will The Murder add three more bodies to the pile they've left in their wake?
