Title Matches at International Incident

In addition to the FGA Heavyweight Championship, the Pride, Mid-Atlantic Tag and newly formed Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championships were also on the line at International Incident.

Eight FGA grapplers had a chance at history. You only have one shot at being the "first" at anything. That was the opportunity at hand for these eight FGA grapplers. And it was Chaz Holiday who took advantage to become the first Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion. As expected, Chaz and his goody buddy Matt Summers teamed up during several points in the match. But even after Summers' elimination, Chaz was still able to hold his own. He didn't have the most eliminations. In fact, he only eliminated one person. But that one elimination was the one that counted the most.

The Super Mario Wrestling Bros were initially looked at as nothing more than comedic fodder when they returned to the company this past Summer. But over the past several months, the "Red and Green Machine" worked hard and proved themselves to be a legitimate team. But this match was their toughest test. The Murder had defeated The Usual Suspects, The Shoot Kings and Bloodbath & Beyond in tag team action. After outlasting all three teams in the Ultimate Endurance Match, the SMWB were the only team left for them to beat. The SMWB were of course a victim of one of The Murder's trademark gang attacks. But they didn't let that effect them. They continued to move forward and didn't back down from the team of Malcolm Drake and Bob Pooler. At International Incident, the SMWB shocked the world when they defeated The Murder in one of the most talked about matches of the evening.

Willow Swaine has lived up to her nickname, becoming an "Unstoppable Force" since her FGA debut this past Fall. But this would be her toughest challenge when she went one on one with Jimmy Page. Page has been dominant since coming to FGA. But he has never faced someone who was just as dominant as him. The match went back and forth. At times, we even saw Willow manhandle Page, which is something that we've never seen in an FGA ring before. But despite getting one fall on Page, the self-proclaimed "King of the F'n World" was able to win the third and final fall, retaining his Pride Championship 2-1.
