Cruz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, representing Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER!
‘Chariots of Fire’ fills the arena, cuing the arrival of Pat Gordon, Jr., who steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring, giving out high-fives to any outstretched hands along the way.
Cruz: And his opponent, representing Frontier Grappling Arts! From Boston, Massachusetts…. weighing in at 242 pounds…. PAT GORDON, JR!
He does a lap around the ring, still giving out high-fives to any fans who want one, before he climbs inside. PGJR pulls back on the ropes for a couple of last minute stretches before the bell.
Clement: Time for the Chivalry is Dead match between FRONTIER’s Kevin Hardaway and FGA’s Pat Gordon Jr.
White: This is basically the contest that started this all off. The accusations made by Scott Mayo to Gordon kicked things off, and then Hardaway’s attack of Gordon on an FGA show…
Clement: Notice how both are FRONTIER attacking FGA? This is all on your guys, Dave!
White: I have to agree, it is.
Clement: Well, seeing as this match is a FRONTIER speciality, why don’t you explain it to everyone.
White: The Chivalry is Dead match has only one rule: there are no rules. There are no disqualifications, pinfalls count anywhere and it’s no holds barred!
The bell sounds as the match gets underway, the two men stood in their opposite corners just glaring at each other. Hardaway can be seen to mouth something at Gordon, who holds out a hand and invites the former GFC Champion to bring it on. Hardaway closes in on him, they begin to circle. Eventually they both lunge forward and hook up. Hardaway making the most of his size advantage as he overpowers Gordon, pushing him into the ropes. Hardaway releases, steps backwards, and then charges back in with an elbow to the face of Pat Gordon Jnr. Gordon drops to his backside and Hardaway begins to stomp away at him. Hardaway then steps away, grinning.
White: And therein lies the difference of the Chivalry is Dead match. Where usually K-Hard would have to release his hold and step away, he’s free to attack his opponent while he’s still in the ropes. There is no escaping this fight.
Clement: Well I know that Gordon’s not a man to back away from a fight, Dave.
White: Which is why this is going to be such a great match.
Gordon checks his nose for blood while Hardaway looks on, still grinning. Pat gets himself back to his feet and back into an attack stance as the two men circle once more. Again they hook up in the centre of the ring, this time Gordon slips behind Hardaway and gets him into a hammerlock. Hardaway twists out but Hardaway twists him right back into the hold. He releases the arm, grabs the waist of K-Hard and takes him to the mat with a belly-to-back suplex. He floats over into a front facing sleeper hold and tightens his grip.
White: Bit too early to be going for a submission, don’t you think?
Clement: He’s not looking for a submission; he’s wearing down his opponent. It’s classic Pat Gordon Jnr!
Eventually Gordon releases his hold on Hardaway, stepping backwards and letting K-Hard use more energy to pull himself up to his feet. Hardaway holds his neck for a moment, stretching it out. He smiles at Gordon as the two men head for each other once more. They hook up again, Hardaway whips Gordon into the ropes. Gordon ducks a clothesline, spins and tries for one of his own, but Hardaway ducks that one too. K-Hard spins around and grabs Gordon’s hair, pulling him backwards and forcing him to drop to the mat. Gordon gets right back up and charges for Hardaway. Spinebuster from Hardaway!
White: Hardaway beginning to build some momentum.
Clement: Now where’s he going?
Hardaway slips out of the ring, pushes the timekeeper off his chair, folds it up and takes it back into the ring with him. He hits it on the canvas a few times as Gordon is getting to his feet. Hardaway charges and swings the chair, but Gordon ducks and kicks Hardaway in the small of the back. K-Hard drops the chair, Gordon grabs him… DDT ON THE CHAIR!!
Clement: That’s got to hurt! And a cover… 1… 2…
White: And Hardaway out at two!
Gordon pulls Hardaway to his feet, nails some right hands, looks for a suplex… but Hardaway blocks. He gets a knee up into the gut of Gordon and readjusts, grabbing Gordon’s other arm. DOUBLE ARM DDT ON THE CHAIR!!
White: Holy…
Clement: Another pin attempt… 1…2…
White: And Gordon out at two!!
This match is descending into chaos quickly, and the fans are eating it up. It takes both men a while to get back to a vertical base and when they do they charge for each other. They hook up again, struggling for supremacy. Hardaway gets a knee up again, then a European uppercut. He steps back, bounces off the ropes and charges in with a boot to the top of Gordon’s head. Gordon drops to his knees and K-Hard follows up with a vicious looking buzzsaw kick to the temple!
White: He calls that the KTFO~!
Clement: And it may well be enough to end this…
White: 1… 2… NO! Shoulder up!
Hardaway whips Gordon into the ropes, Gordon ducks a clothesline and kicks the back of Hardaway’s knee. Hardaway stumbles into the ropes and Gordon charges, but Hardaway drops down, hanging onto the top rope. Gordon flies straight over the rope, bounces off the ring apron and hits the arena floor hard. Hardaway spots an opportunity, bounces off the far ropes and looks for his GTFO~! suicide dive… but GORDON CONNECTS WITH THE IRISH KISS IN MID-AIR!
Clement: What a collision!
White: He headbutted a man who was flying right at him! Is he insane?
The collision has dazed Gordon, who is leaning up against the security railing with several FGA fans patting him on the back while the rest of the arena is screaming “Holy Shit!” at the top of their lungs. Hardaway is down in a heap and doesn’t appear to be moving. Eventually Gordon grabs his hair, gets Hardaway up to a knee, then rolls him into the ring. Gordon rolls in and makes a cover.
Clement: 1… 2…
White: Hardaway’s out! Hey, doesn’t Gordon realise it’s pinfalls anywhere? He may have just missed a chance to end this one by taking too long to roll Hardaway back into the ring.
Clement: Maybe, but Gordon’s a traditional fighter, whatever the rules may be he probably wants to win this IN the ring.
Gordon is still suffering the effects of the Irish Kiss himself and takes time to follow up. Hardaway has pulled himself back to his feet and is leaning on the ropes. Hardaway stumbles into the middle of the ring and is met by Gordon, WICKED LARIAT!! Hardaway pops right back up and takes Gordon by surprise, DECAP LARIAT!! Now Gordon pops back up, adrenaline fuelling both men now. Elbow smash from Gordon, neckbreaker from Hardaway. DDT from Gordon, Gutbuster from Hardaway. Another elbow smash from Gordon, this time he follows up with another, and another. He picks Hardaway up and sets him up in the Tree of Woe! He spots the chair, still laying around in one corner of the ring, and sets it up over Hardaway’s face. He steps back before charging in, looking for a baseball slide, but HARDAWAY GRABS THE CHAIR AND PULLS HIMSELF UP AND OUT OF THE WAY!! Gordon slides into the ringpost hard as Hardaway frees himself. He steadies himself on the top rope, drops the chair onto Gordon, AND CONNECTS WITH THE LIONSTOMP ONTO THE CHAIR!!!
Clement: My god, what damage has been done to the ribs of Pat Gordon Jnr with that move?!
White: That surely spells the end… Cover!
Clement: 1… 2…. NO!!!
White: GORDON’S ALIVE!?
Kevin Hardaway cannot believe it, and he remonstrates with the referee, giving Gordon valuable time to recover. Hardaway eventually turns his attentions back to his opponent, who is resting in a seated position in the corner. Hardaway pulls Gordon up, connecting with a big chop to the red raw chest of the Boston Bruiser. He pulls Gordon out of the corner, switches behind him and looks for a German suplex. But Gordon quickly flicks back a heel into the groin of Hardaway, then grabs his head and takes him over with a snapmare. He follows up with a dropkick to the back of the head. He stops for breath as Hardaway gets back to his feet. Gordon charges in, connecting with a clothesline. Hardaway pops back up, taking Gordon down with a shoulder block as he charges in again. Gordon back up again, but slowly. Hardaway connects with a European uppercut and then gets Gordon up… ASSYLUM BOMB!!? NO, Gordon escapes! IRISH KISS!! SUNDAY MORNING HANGOVER!!! COVER!
White: 1… 2… 3!!!
Clement: He did it, the Southie Scrapper has bested Kevin Hardaway!
White: Boy, what a match! Both men gave it their all, that’s for sure.
Clement: I have to agree, and kudos to both for not making the most of the Chivalry is Dead rules… instead they gave us, and the fans here in Illinois, one hell of a wrestling match.
