October 2000
The first event of the night pitted the contract hopeful Macdaddy against a veteran of the Pro Wrestling circuit Harvey Johnson. Macdaddy was first to make his way down to the ring; he slid in under the ropes and grabbed the mic from the announcer. Macdaddy is pumped up and ready to go for his first match in the T.F.W.F, so attempts to make an announcement to the crowd. Johnson's music hits interrupting Macdaddys first promo. As Johnson makes his way down to the ring serious as ever, a not to pleased Macdaddy jumps out the ring to greet him with a flying body check hitting Johnson onto the steel steps. Macdaddy bolts up, runs over to Johnson, and rolls him back into the ring. Johnson is dazed and Macdaddy takes the match to him landing powerful left and right hooks. Johnson's in trouble not one counter in reply to Macdaddys constant pounding, Macdaddy hits a body to body suplex leaving his opponent on the floor. He soaks up the crowds mixed feelings towards him, enjoying every second. Macdaddy plays with the crowd a bit to long as Johnson makes a pretty swift recovery, standing up, catapulting off the ropes and pulling off a perfectly executed bulldog. Seems as though the tide has changed, but to Johnson's surprise Macdaddy gets up not even looking fazed. Macdaddy walks up to Johnson and they both grapple for a bit, testing each other out, then comes the breakthrough. Johnson's thinks he's got the match won as he pulls off a fisherman's suplex and a reverse pin, a two count is all he manages as Macdaddy miraculously kicks out reserving the pin into a cross face chicken wing. Macdaddy maneuvers Johnson into the center of the ring, leaving him with no chance of reaching the ropes, the referee checks on Johnson, he tries to hang in there but is being choked out of breathe and is forced to tap out. Macdaddy immediately drops his opponent who slumps to the floor to recover, and dances round the ring again lapping up the crowds mixed feelings towards the new wrestler. As he continued his celebrations to the crowd the Management walked out and started to talk. He told the crowd that Macdaddy would not receive his contract due to entering the country using a forged passport. Macdaddy claimed this was a false allegation, but the management pulled out a passport with Macdaddy's picture on it with a different name. The crowd meet this with a mixed reception not knowing whether to believe Macdaddy or the Management, but one this is for sure, the T.F.W.F is definitely under the Managements control.
Law and Order def Ozaki (tables, ladders and chairs match)
This next match looked like one to remember, tables ladders AND chairs! The crowd were in for a real treat. Law and Orders music kicked in and he made his way down to the ring. The big man quite comfortably holding a table under each arm, sets one up outside the ring, and slides the other in under the ropes. He sets the other up in the ring almost underneath a ladder, jumps out of the ring and folds up a chair; he holds it down by his side and waits the arrival of Ozaki. L & O didn't have to wait long as straight away Osaki's music blasts out on the speakers and pyros go off around the arena. Ozaki holding no weapons cant wait to get stuck in, sees L & O with the chair and runs over too him. Ozaki perhaps a bit too cocky then got sweetly struck by L & O`s chair right to the front of the face. This planted the Oriental man on his ass, but was quick to get up. Ozaki checked his head, blood already? This angered Ozaki who climbed in the ring, gesturing at L & O to follow. Hesitantly he did and the two were soon going at it in the ring. Blood now pouring from the gash on his, Ozaki was getting the better, landing a couple of suplexs followed by one hefty power bomb. Quite surprising for the mans size, but were other forces helping the man from Hellbound out? It seemed that way as L & O laid sprawled out on the canvass. Ozaki felt it time for the high risk maneuvers, planted on of the ladders on the seemingly helpless L & O. Ozaki climbed to the top turnbuckle and positioned him self for a high risk lion Sault. At that point L & O stood up, obviously playing possum, he picked the ladder and held it above his head. He shouted as loud as he could and ran over to Ozaki, and hit him with the ladder off the top turnbuckle! Ozaki fell a fair way and to cushion his landing, landed on the commentaries table. Scoop and Snoop darted up out of their seats to the other side of the ring, quite rightly concerned for their safety as this match was turning nasty. Ozaki still on the table lay recovering for a while, although L & O wasted no time. He picked up a chair, walked over to Ozaki, trapped Osaki's leg in the chair; the crowd knew what was coming next. L & O stood up on the table, jumped in the air hoping to land a leg drop onto the chair thus breaking Osaki's leg. But it didn't go that way; Ozaki is a tough character and his death matches in Japan helped with endurance. He managed to lift his leg in the air and remove the chair, just as L & O landed his leg drop to nothing and they both went crashing through the table. Both men stood up fighting for ownership of the chair, L & O decided to let it go and grab another. He made the mistake though of turning his back on Ozaki who immediately clobbered him on the back of neck with his chair sending a sickening crack throughout the arena. The ex soldier did not buckle though and managed to stay on his knees, which was probably a bad idea as Ozaki managed to attach his Dragon Sleeper! L & O stood to his feet in a vain attempt to release himself, they struggled around the outside of the ring, L & Os movements become slower as the oxygen supply to his brain decreased. Ozaki was now practically dragging L & O along, Osaki's seemingly aimless direction turned into him heading towards the table outside of the ring. As Ozaki reached the table he released the dragon sleeper and L & O fell to the floor, Ozaki picked him up and slumped him over the table. At that point the arena rung out with the most deafening sound of boos you could possibly imagine. Ozaki turned his head to see what the commotion was all about, and there was the Management standing at the top of the ramp. Ozaki stared deep into Management; the management made a gesture to say he was just watching. Although Ozaki didn't believe him, he made sure when he was climbing into the ring to keep one eye on the Management. Ozaki decided enough was enough and he was gonna finish the match, he jumped into the ring grabbing the ladder and positioning it close enough to the ropes so he could jump off the top onto the table, putting L & O through the table. Ozaki decided the ladder was stable and begun his ascent. Osaki's attention turned to the dodgy ladder and not the goings on outside, outside the management still at the end of the ramp started to smile. From underneath the ring appeared The Assistant. He stayed out of Osaki's view, and as Ozaki leapt from the ladder, The Assistant removed L & O from the table. Ozaki came crashing down through the table, as he did the management signaled for the bell. The bell rung and L & O was announced the winner, Ozaki rose to his feet surrounded by shards of table, he stood in disbelief as The Assistant carried L & O off. Management was left at the top of the ramp and demanded silence as he was passed a mic from the stagehand. " A fine display Ozaki, but I warned all of you in Hellbound, stay out of my damn business. You want to start a mini rebellion, don't do it in my fed. I own this fed and I own your asses. As you've just witnessed I can control any match I want, and I can make you and your friends very unhappy here. So listen up, it ends now, or your hell in the T.F.W.F begins. You decide because I am the owner and therefore it's my decision, its just good business." The Firm court music kicks in as they exit the ring, leaving a very unhappy Ozaki leaving the ring by himself.
Damned Yankee def Sly Fox
As probably the nights biggest mismatch got under way, we saw The Damned Yankee take on Sly Fox. Sly Fox had already made his way down to the ring and was in there warming up, Yankees music kicks in and the American psycho bolted out from behind the curtains. As the rows of fans with front seats attempted high 5s with the Yank, he simply ignored them and continued sprinting into the squared circle. The Yankee quite swiftly jumped the ropes and launched himself into a brutal violent attack on Fox. A matter of minutes had passed and Fox was almost a goner. With a selection of body slams, suplexs and submission moves, the Yankee had Sly were he wanted him. The Yankee lifted Sly onto the top turnbuckle; Fox not able to do much slumped helplessly onto the turnbuckle and awaited the Yankees next move. The Yankee started to play with the crowd, his mood lightened now he knew the outcome of the match. Fox was still motionless on the turnbuckle could do nothing. Yankee then started to clap his hands above his head, the crowd followed and soon the whole audience was alive with the sound of clapping. An insane look crossed the Yankees face and he started to climb the ropes near Fox. He walked across the ropes with the ease and grace, reminiscent of an early Undertaker. He stood on the ropes next to Fox, carefully finding his center of balance the Yankee was able to pick up Fox, he positioned him for The Damned Slam, the crowd went wild, the clapping had stopped but the noise in the arena had doubled as the crowd knew what was coming. A few seconds to soak up the crowd's adoration and the Damned Slam was underway. The move seemed to happen as a slow motion reply would, the Yankee effortlessly floating through the air until the inevitable hard canvass broke their fall. Yankee clutched his back in agony, and Fox just lay motionless, sprawled out in the center of the ring. Yankee mustered enough to get up, and get the three count. The crowd went wild, a top turnbuckle Damned Slam! Expectations are high for this mans T.F.W.F future.
English Invader def Franny J
A warm up for the massive PPV Autumn Annihilation is how English Invader took this match. He strutted into the ring cool, clam, and cocky. Franny J was already waiting with a look of disgust on his face. That was it, Invader was getting to him, standing there, watching Invader rip the piss out of him in front of tens of thousands of people, it wasn't gonna happen. Franny slid out under the ropes and landed a massive drop kick to the back of an unsuspecting Invader; Invader fell forwards and slammed through the security railing. Franny came running after him and attempted to land a leg drop on the fallen Invader. Invader still pretty sharp after the kick was able to get out the way, and Franny landed the kick straight into the metal railings. Invader made his way back to the ring, again mimicking, and insulting Franny. Now recovered Franny also stepped into the ring and was greeted by a flying elbow to the face, which sent both the wrestlers into the ropes. Somehow Invader had got his leg tangled and was stuck, Franny recovered and noticed Invaders predicament. Invader now had only his ankle trapped as Franny stood over him, Franny pummeled his face with lefts and rights until Invader managed to get himself free. Invader leapt from the floor and landed a spear sending Franny hard to the mat, Invader then locked a dazed Franny in a figure four leg lock, but to no avail as Franny managed to get to the ropes. Both men arose, took a slight breather by pacing around the ring, then they both locked into the tradition wrestlers grapple. Each trying to maneuver their opponent into a suitable position for a move. Invader got the first break as he was able to reverse the grapple into a full nelson, Invader manipulated Franny's movements and had him under control. Franny decided his best bet was to drop to the floor, and by doing so resulted in Invader converting the attempt into a face buster. This floored Franny, and Invader wasted no time in hitting the Mat Invasion and rolling Franny up for three. Another win for the Invader, he looks all set and ready for Autumn Annihilation.
Assistant def Samson
Tonight's main event, the leader of the newly formed Mount Olympus, against the management's side hand, Assistant. The match started off pretty even, both men exchanging early blows and light takedowns, no real pace to the match. The assistant changed that landing a massive right hand, followed by a low blow, which sent Samson gasping for wind and clutching his nether regions. Assistant used Samson's already crouched body to lift him and land a Samoan drop. Samson lay on the canvass still in obvious pain due to the dirty shot from Assistant, and wasn't able to do much as Assistant attached a sharp shooter. The big man Samson had just about recovered, and using his miraculous strength, clawed his way along the canvass to the ropes. Assistant released the lock and pulled Samson up by the hair. Assistant caught Samson with 2 hard right hands and was about to land the deadly third but Samson held his arm strong and blocked it and immediately countered with a powerful kick to the mid section. An Irish whip from Samson sent Assistant against the ropes into a head on collision with the referee. The referee was flung over the top ropes into the steel steps, whilst Assistant was hit with a brutal clothesline. Now Samson had the upper hand and was able to hit a massive power bomb almost sending the Assistant through the ring. Assistant lay there and started to climb to his feet, then slap! That was it Samson had set Assistant up for the Samson Bomb! Then almost instantaneously the Smooth Operators made a quick entrance and double-teamed Samson. Quick kicks and dirty blows were the only way the two were able to stay on top, but to their credit they hit a massive double suplex. Samson must be finished for, no real allies in the arena he was left helpless. Another double suplex from the Operators! Noticing he was done for, this bought the Assistant to his feet, he signaled the operators to awake the ref, they did so successfully, and the referee witnessed a Firm Finesse, and the roll up for three. Assistant raised his hand in celebration, the crowd booed. Starting a new stable is hard, as Samson found out, if he is to continue his fight against the Firm Court, more allies must be recruited.
