"Bring me back to Life" by Evanescence plays and the SMW video rolls. As the last photo is shown, the shot shifts to a jammed and rowdy SMW arena.
Dan Wilson: "Hello everyone and welcome to the second annual Future of Wrestling! I'm Dan Wilson and tonight, we will crown two new champions and will have a ladder match for the world title as well! Let's go to the ring"!
Carly Colon vs. Damien Steele Steele dominated the start of the match with him totally out powering the smaller Colon. Colon fired back with drop kicks and several rights and lefts but Steele forearmed him in the gut and called for the "Deal Breaker" when in mid move, Colon small packaged Steele up for the win.
(Colon quickly exited the ring as Scott Norton came out.)
Wilson: "What a win by the rookie Carly Colon over a seasoned pro in Damian Steele, let's go to Jennie who's in the back with Xavier, Jennie".
(shot goes backstage)
jennie Finch: "Thanks Dan, Xavier, in just moments, you'll be in the fow2 first round versus the man that attacked you last week on Aggression, Chad Collyer".
Xavier: "Collyer, on Aggression you tried to get an advantage over me and you failed, I hope you liked that feeling, cause in a few mintues, it's deja vu"!
(Xavier walks away as the scene goes to ringside.)
Future of wrestling round one Xavier vs. Chad Collyer This was a good match from the beginning with a lot of wrestling and counter wrestling and Xavier taking to the air with his high risk style. Collyer managed to clothesline Xavier as he tried to come off the top rope with a move. He then set Xavier on the top rope for a superplex but quickly got pushed off the rope and booted in the head which gave Xavier the opening to execute a middle rope version of the hangover to score the win.
Wilson: "Man what a version of the hangover by Xavier who is moving on in this tournament and now fans for some breaking news, lets go back to Jennie".
(scene shifts back stage)
Finch: "Thanks Dan, I'm here with SMW head Joe Diano and I understand there's some late information about the Patriot to report"?
Joe Diano: "Yes there is. After this past weeks attack by Steve Bradley, the Patriot reaggrevated his neck injury and has not been cleared to wrestle tonight so basically, Steve Bradley will win due to forfieture. But I want to say one thing to Mr. Bradley. I want to see you this week on Aggression cause believe me, your actions may have been tolerated in the past but that was then, and this is now".
Finch: "Thank you, Dan, back to you".
(shot goes back to ringside)
Wilson: "Thanks Jennie, what news, the Patriot's out again with his neck injury and Steve Bradley has been ordered to be at Aggresion, but fans, let's take a look at whats led up to tonights three way dance for the SMW tag team titles".
(a video package is shown chroniciling the SMW tag team title history and what led up to tonight's match up)
Three way dance/SMW tag team titles Kronik vs. Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger vs. Jake Diamond & Dylan Page The match began with all six men paring off and Brian Adams went to work on Johnny Swinger pummeling him in the corner. Dylan Page and Simon Diamond went at it on the floor trading punches and kicks while Bryan Clark went at it with Jake Diamond on the other side of the ring. As Adams tried to suplex Swinger, out from the back came Monty Brown who pulled Adams legs out from under him, causing Swinger to fall on him and Brown held the legs down as the ref counted three, eliminating Kronik.
(Kronik recovered and went out after Brown and Bull Buchanon made his way out and they went at it all the way to the back)
The match then continued with Jake Diamond and Dylan Page against Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger with Page and Swinger on the floor fighting as Jake Diamond and Simon Diamond exchanged holds. But Swinger tossed Page into the gaurd rail and slid a chair into the ring to Simon who low blowed Jake sending him to the ground. As Swinger got the attention of the ref, Simon blasted Jake with it right on the head sending him to the floor. Swinger and Diamond tried to set Jake up for the "Problem Solver" but Page rolled in and tackled Simon to the mat which dropped Jake to his feet with Swinger's head in his arms, executing a jumping ddt. Jake Diamond then draped his arm over Swinger to score the victory and capture the tag team titles for he and Page!
(The Tennesse fans came unglued as their home state team was awarded the tag team titles. Page helped his partner who was still out of it out of the ring)
Wilson: "What a match and we finally have tag team champions here in the SMW and they said they would win and they did. Jake Diamond and Dylan Page from down in Memphis are the tag team champions of the SMW! Right now, let's go to Jennie who's I believe with Shannon Moore, Jennie".
(backstage)
Finch: "Shannon, tonight in a ladder match you have the chance to regain the SMW title from Spencer Hollywood, your thoughts"?
Shannon Moore: "Like I said on Aggression, tonight Hollywood you're gonna have a Mooregasam like you never thought possible and when it's over the belt's comin' back where it belongs.... with Shannon Moore"!
Finch: "Dan back to you".
(back at ringside)
Future of Wrestling round one Michael Modest vs. Rip Rogers This battle of veterans was a wrestling classic with holds and counter holds shown by both men but when Rogers thumbed Modest in the eye, he went to the middle turnbuckle for a double ax handle when Modest quickly caught him and turned it into a running reverse ddt he calls "Natural Causes" for the win.
Wilson: "Well looks like Rip Rogers' participation in this just died of natural causes, what? Come on, that was funny. Anyways Modest moves on to now face Xavier in the next round of the tournament. Let's go back to the ring"!
Future of Wrestling round one Shane Starr vs. Shawn Evans This match was a good one with Shane Starr putting on a good showing and likewise for Evans. Both men worked their butts off to advance with a variety of high risk moves and on the mat wrestling but as Evans hit a dropkick, he waited for Starr to get up and went for a clothesline which he ducked and as Evans turned, he walked right into a spinning back kick and Starr got the win.
Wilson: "Shane Starr advances and will face the winner of our last match up next with Axl Irvin taking on Lance Cade. But first, lets take a look at the challenger to the SMW title, Shannon Moore".
(a video package is shown of Shannon Moore's career up till present day)
Future of wrestling round one Axl Irvin vs. Lance Cade As Cade waited in the ring, Irvin came through the crowd and ambushed him. After a forearm to the back, he quickly turned him around into a fireman's carry and landed the "Axl Cut" for the quick win.
Wilson: Oh come on! That was so cheap! Axl Irvin attacked Cade from behind after coming through the crowd and if that's how he wants to win and advance to face Shane Starr well then that's what it'll be! Let's go to Jennie with the bracketing".
(backstage)
Finch: "Thanks Dan, now into the next round it will be Michael Modest taking on Xavier and Axl Irvin against Shane Starr".
Future of wrestling round two Michael Modest vs. Xavier Another example of youth and speed versus age and experience in this one with Modest trying to ground Xavier with several leg and neck holds and Xavier defying and using his high risk style anyways but as Xavier had Modest against the ropes with the ref trying to break them apart, out came Spencer Hollywood who blasted Xavier with the SMW title sending him to the mat and then he pushed Modest onto him allowing Modest to win.
Wilson: "What the? Spencer Hollywood just cost Xavier the a chance to win the Future of Wrestling title, but why?! They were partners a few weeks ago? Jennie....
(backstage)
Finch: "Spencer, why did you just do that to Xavier"?
Spencer Hollywood: "Why? That little punk left me hanging a few weeks back, so he needed to be taught a lesson and to be honest, a lot of these young punks here in SMW need to be taught kinda like Shannon Moore. Ya see Moore, I've been here a hell of a lot longer than you and yet you get the world put at your feet, well tonight, this belt is mine and it will stay that way cause I earned it and I hear you talk about Mooregasam's? Well bottom line boy, get ready to be brought back to earth... the hard way"!
(back to ringside)
Future of wrestling round two Shane Starr vs. Axl Irvin Starr seemed to be a bit more worn out then Irvin due to the difference in their previous match length but he still gave Irvin a good fight, matching his ground and air attack against Irvin's but when Starr tossed Irvin into the turnbuckle for an attack, Irvin took out Starr's legs and put his feet on the ropes for added leverage to get the win to advance to the finals.
Wilson: "Another cheap win by Axl and now he will advance to the championship finals to face Michael Modest! Now fans, it's time for the ladder match for the SMW title between Shannon Moore and Spencer Hollywood, let's take a look at how we got here tonight for the SMW title.....
(a video package is shown chroniciling the situation between Shannon Moore and Spencer Hollywood ending with the signing of tonights match)
SMW title/ladder match Champion Spencer Hollywood vs. Shannon Moore This match was a fight from the start which wasn't contained in the ring the entire time, going to several spots in the arena. Then as they got into the aisle, Moore tossed Hollywood right into the ladder and then proceeded to place it on the downed Hollywood and climb to the apron and splash him. Appearing to hurt himself, Moore picked Hollywood up and tossed him into the ring and then he tossed in the ladder. He then set it in the corner and tried to whip Hollywood into it but was reversed. Hollywood set up the ladder under the title but went and got a chair and got back into the ring and nailed Moore in the back. As he dropped the chair, he went up the ladder for the title but out of nowhere, Moore dropkicked the ladder, sending it and Hollywood crashing to the mat. Moore then dragged himself up by the ropes and reached for the chair and tossed it right at Hollywood's head. Then he set the ladder up and tried for the belt but Hollywood climbed up the other side and the two began trading punches till Moore slammed his head into the ladder sending Hollywood to the mat again. This time Hollywood attempted to grab the chair but as he lifted it, out of nowhere Xavier came and dropkicked it into his face! Seeing this, Moore climbed to the other side of the ladder and in a move that brought the crowd to it's feet, he hit the "Mooregasam" off the ladder! He then climbed up the ladder and reached for and then pulled down the SMW title for the win.
Wilson: "With a major assist to Xavier and a Mooregasam off the ladder, Shannon Moore is the SMW champion once again! Let's go to Jennie in the back"!
(backstage)
Finch: "I'm here with Axl Irvin and Axl, in mere moments, you meet Michael Modest to determine the second ever fow champion. How are you feeling"?
Axl Irvin: "How am I feeling? Come on Jennie, look at me and then think about Modest. It's not fair at all, for him anyway. They call him the greatest wrestler to never have a big league contract and they also say Michael Modest is the natural one. Well I could really give a crap, after all, that's what it is. Modest I don't care how great these rednecks think you are or how great the office thinks you are, when you face Axl Irvin, all you are to me is not much and another notch. See ya in the ring Mike".

(Joe Diano comes to the ring as both and in his possession was the fow title)
Diano: "Gentlemen this match is for the Future of Wrestling championship and the winner of this match will be recognized as the champion that will defend this title every week on Aggression. Now you've both come a long and different path to get to this point right now and myself along with the SMW are proud of you both and make no mistake about it, Mr. Modest and Mr. Irvin, upon winning this match, you will bear the weight of carrying the success of Aggression and the SMW on your shoulders so work your butts off and above all else, may the best man win! Let's ring the bell"!
(Diano takes the title belt and sits at ringside as the bell rings to start the match)
Future of Wrestling title finals Michael Modest vs. Axl Irvin Both men were looking like they were about out of energy from their long nights but still put on a wrestling show from the start. Modest pressed the smaller Irvin over his head and in mid move powerslammed him to the mat but only got a two count. Modest pulled Irvin up but Irvin quickly drop kicked him in the knee. He then worked on that knee with several submission holds like spinning toe holds and half crabs but couldn't get a tap out. Getting frustrated, Axl put a well placed knee into Modest's mid section and called for the "Axl Cut" so he irish whipped Modest and upon his return, Irvin got him onto his shoulders but before he could perform the rest of the move, Modest caught him with a pinning crucifix and to the shock of everyone, especially irvin, Modest scored the pin to become fow champion.
(Joe Diano got into the ring and presented Michael Modest with his new SMW Future of Wrestling championship and shook his hand. Chants of "Modest" echoed through the arena)
Wilson: "What a night for Michael Modest! He's not only become the Future of Wrestling but he's put the first blemish on Axl Irvin's win-loss record! Congratulations to the Natural One"!
(Modest celebrates in the ring as the supershow comes to an end)
