The opening chords of Bishop Briggs “Champion” are heard as the cameras open up on the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, preparing for Night 6 of the Queen of the Frontier and Vlad Blackheart Memorial Tournaments. Viewers are welcomed to the event by Nick Hanson and Miranda Augustino before the camera cuts right to the ring and the event begins.
================================================================
[LEEANN VISKAN V. ANGEL KUSANAGI]
The crowd was in a continuous buzz from the moment the bell rang and these two women began circling around the ring. Things started slow as the veteran and the ever-mysterious young up and comer began feeling each other out in the opening moments. Finally, LeeAnn shot in for Angel’s legs, going for a take down with a follow up Indian Deathlock but Angel managed to grab onto the bottom rope as soon as she went down, knowing full well what kind of danger she was in. The pace of the match picked up as the women began trading strikes, takedowns and reversals. LeeAnn Viskan clearly had the upper hand due to her years of experience. Both women matched one another in aggressiveness and ruthlessness. Angel managed to catch LeeAnn with the Steel Feather for a near count, looking shocked and in disbelief as LeeAnn kicked out.
After numerous nearfalls between the two, LeeAnn Viskan finally locked in the Chemical Wedding, which Angel Kusagani was trapped in for almost a minute before she finally managed to reach the ropes. During the referee’s count, Angel held onto the ropes and managed to jerk her legs over, sending LeeAnn stumbling into the ref and almost flattening the official in the corner but Viskan stopped herself just in time. As she turned back around towards Angel, the Japanese woman stood ready and waiting, catching her with another Steel Feather, before setting her up and dropping LeeAnn on her neck with the Boseki Driver. Angel leaned forward, pinning her opponent down for the pinfall, giving her the upset victory.
Winner: Angel Kusanagi
Result: Pinfall
Time: 11:29
================================================================
[SERENA FROST V. ERIN MERCER]
Serena Frost had the upper hand on Erin Mercer from the very beginning as Erin entered the match with a heavily wrapped shoulder due to the incident in her last match. Even if Serena Frost had turned over a new leaf as in who she associated with, it didn’t change her strategy in how she attacked her opponents with a cold and ruthless demeanor. For Erin Mercer, this meant Serena Frost targeting that wrapped shoulder with every type of attack the ice hearted woman could think of. Armdrags, armbars and takedowns were on the menu as Serena kept Erin under her control for several minutes. More than once, the referee had to pause the match to double check on Erin and make sure she could continue.
But Erin Mercer refused to disappoint her fans that stood behind her and proceeded to fight back against Serena Frost, hitting her with as many of her moves in her arsenal as she could without over using her bad shoulder. She was unable to do a lot of her lifting attacks so she resorted to elbows from her good arm and a multitude of kicks and hurricanranas to keep Serena Frost at bay for as long as she could. Eventually, though, Frost got the better of her by catching her with a superkick right to that wrapped shoulder before quickly nailing her with the Ice Age for the pinfall victory.
Winner: Serena Frost
Result: Pinfall
Time: 9:31
================================================================
[MIA HAYASHI V. CHRISTINA OLSON]
Anybody who didn’t expect this match to start off with the two women getting up in each others faces and talking trash was out of their mind. Christina Olson hadn’t forgotten the few but harsh words Mia Hayashi had to say about The Kingdom in earlier weeks and Mia Hayashi certainly hadn’t forgotten everything The Kingdom had been doing. Once the match got underway it became heated rather quickly as it reached a fast pace. What else was one to expect when you had two high flyers in the ring? Mia got the upper hand first over Christina, taking it to her with stiff kicks and Strong Style elbows. Christina flipped control of the match around once Mia whipped her into the ropes and the fiery redhead came off the ropes with a springboard enziguri.
Christina carried on the advantage from there, laying into the shorter Mia with her strikes and takedowns, controlling the pace of the match for a few moments before Mia Hayashi managed a comeback with a handspring pele kick, nailing the redhead in the face and causing her to drop and roll out of the ring. As Christina recovered, Mia darted across the ring again only to feint and hit a handspring backflip where she landed on her feet and threw two middle fingers at her opponent. Angry at the taunting, Christina hurriedly scrambled to get back up on the apron. As she did, Mia ran up the turnbuckle and came down, hitting a hurricanrana that took them both down to the ringside floor. The two women continued to brawl outside of the ring until Mia Hayashi was thrown back in by Christina Olson who then climbed the top turnbuckle, setting up for a moonsault. Mia Hayashi was able to get to her feet, however and knock one of Olson’s feet loose, causing her to fall hard on the turnbuckle. As Christina tried to get herself up, Mia ‘assisted’ her, by lifting her onto her shoulders and stepped to the center of the ring where she delivered the Supereme Thunder for the pinfall.
Winner: Mia Hayashi
Result: Pinfall
Time: 15:37
================================================================
[EAVAN MALONEY V. QUEEN CTHULHU]
Once again, Queen Cthulhu put on an almost terrifying display of merciless offense; this time meeting against the Women’s TV Champion, Eavan Maloney. She found her hands a little more full this time as the Demon Warrior showed evidence that she had been preparing for this match specifically over the weekend. Still, it wasn’t that Queen Cthulhu seemed impervious to pain, but that she was fighting through it and just refusing to stay down. Eavan Maloney relentlessly struck the woman with a variety of offensive maneuvers from her well balanced arsenal. Everything from kicks, to knife edge chops to a variety of takedowns and grapples. Cthulhu fought back with her painfully aggressive style she had displayed in her previous two matches, driving knees into the ribs of Eavan while her elbows made decent weapons for striking the woman repeatedly across the head. Queen Cthulhu, it appeared, was fighting her opponents like she was just angry...at everything. She hated...everything.
Both women literally beat one another until they appeared to be on their last legs, resulting in Eavan Maloney actually looking a little taken aback by Queen Cthulhu as the masked woman was obviously exhausted and barely able to stand on her own to feet but kept coming towards her opponent. Eavan Maloney, with a little more energy and spunk left, skipped forward, attempting to take Cthulhu out with a Chick Kick. Queen Cthulhu caught her by the foot, though and SLAMMED her elbow down into Eavan’s right knee. Eavan staggered back and Cthulhu stepped in and delivered a sharp kick to the same knee until Eavan went down with pain written on her face. Cthulhu stepped back, delivered a superkick, then ran off of the ropes and came back to deliver the Call of Cthulhu, violently snapping Eavan down to the mat. Instead of going for the cover, however, Cthulhu got to her feet and positioned herself, waiting for Eavan to show signs of life and of rising back up. It was as if she knew her opponent for tonight was going to take more than the average amount of punishment to stay down. As Eavan pulled herself back up, Queen Cthulhu ran off of the ropes again and came back to deliver a second Call of Cthulhu, driving her knee square center into Eavan’s face before covering her for the pinfall.
Winner: Queen Cthulhu
Result: Pinfall

================================================================
The scene opens up where we see a tall statuesque blonde woman standing in front of the camera. Behind her are two men holding a ton of shopping bags, as they were out in Manhattan, New York. The blonde was dressed to the nines in luxury designer brands from head to toe. A black top, pink miniskirt, black high heel boots, and a black Gucci handbag along with black Gucci sunglasses. The smugness radiates off of her as she looks at the camera not even taking her sunglasses off. As she begins to speak in an pompous tone.
"You know a day of luxury to unwind is just what a girl needs, and for me that is every single day why? Because I am Angel Kash I know you all love me as you should really I mean this is one of my dress down day outfits you know? And it still cost more than most peoples rent. So be jealous NFW women because I know you can’t afford this or much else but today I am taking you into the life of Angel Kash you’re welcome."
Angel does a smug kiss face toward the camera, as she snaps her fingers and her men follow behind her. As she takes the time to strut like she owns the place. As she holds her nose up not really giving the tourist and average people the time of day as she speaks.
"See all of these people they are like the NFW Womens roster compared to me. I am a true diamond and they are not. I am from an elite background, have always gotten my way and will always get my way. And these people they struggle nine to five like typical New York city losers. But I am apart of the true elite of this world and that is something none of you understand."
The camera follows the haughty blonde princess as she walks on the street her security keeping people away from her. As they head toward a Tiffanys store, she looks at the camera with a smug smirk on her face.
"So women of NFW it doesn't matter what type of dreg of society you're a stoner, geek, freak, hobo or whatever you are because it doesn’t matter. The time of you slumming up the division is over because now a shining light is about to enter the picture. And take over and that woman is none other than The Trillion Dollar Princess because what Angel Kash wants, Angel Kash gets; now if you'll excuse me I got more shopping to do. Let's go boys."
Angel blows a smug kiss to the camera as she enters the store followed by those carrying her bags and before the cameras could follow security gets in the way and stops the cameraman as the scene fades to black. With the words coming soon Angel Kash.

[MORGAN PAYNE V. JASMINE MATTHEWS]
It was another instance of Morgan Payne looking completely against the idea of taking on someone she truly cared about. On the other hand, Jasmine Matthews seemed adamant about getting the girl to bow up and actually fight her. To step out of her comfort zone. It got to the point where Jasmine had to start pushing Morgan around, giving harsh shoves to her head, trying to get her angry enough. Finally, Morgan appeared to get close to that point as she shoved Jasmine back, yelling for her to knock it off. Jasmine grinned, approving of her team mate’s aggression and lunged in for a forearm but Morgan ducked underneath and slipped behind her to get a waistlock in. She hesitated, however and left herself open for Jasmine to turn around and catch her with the forearm this time. Eventually Morgan got to that same point she had with LeeAnn Viskan where she seemed more willing to actually put up a fight and get some offense in but there was that hesitation each time she really got a head of steam going which left her open for Jasmine to turn things around in her favor.
The match gradually started to turn into an all-out, no punches pulled match up, getting the crowd on their feet as Jasmine Matthews literally seemed to be beating the reservation out of Morgan Payne and making her start to actually fight back. MMA strikes from Matthews were met with stiff lariats and knife edge chops from Payne. Jaw dropping powerslams and drivers from Morgan were sometimes countered with a submission takedown by Jasmine. Jasmine delivered a CCS Enziguri to Morgan, damn near knocking her out from the kick to the head. Morgan also was no exception to the Queen of the Kingdom's flirtatious taunting as she rocked her hips against her lover while she was down in the corner. This ended up with Morgan getting a near fall as she suddenly grabbed Jasmine by the legs and pushed herself forward to try and roll her up. Jasmine kicked out with a wicked little look of amusement on her face. A few moments later, Morgan returned to favor of a corner attack by delivering the Yoi Yoi Double Yoi to Jasmine with, seemingly, little to no aversity left.
At one point, Jasmine administered a rear naked chokehold to Morgan on the mat and could be overheard practically demanding her to fight her way out of it. That she had taught her this and she knew that Morgan knew what to do. Morgan adamantly refused at first until more taunting from Jasmine prompted the woman to throw her head back into Jasmine’s jaw and start throwing her elbows into her ribs. Morgan pulled herself to her feet with Jasmine staying on her back. A display of the Italian-Latina’s strength as she ran back and slammed Jasmine into the corner to get her off. As she turned around, however, Jasmine came out of the corner with a rising knee to Morgan’s jaw, knocking the daylights right out of her. As Morgan shook the dizziness out, Jasmine rushed in and went for a handstand scissor headlock. As Morgan struggled to get Jasmine’s feet off before she could be brought down, it resulted in her pulling back to where Jasmine was on her back. Instinctively, Morgan pushed herself forward, flipping over on top of Jasmine into a bridge, essentially getting her into a cover and the referee dropped down to promptly administer the shocking three count. The crowd roared with surprise as Morgan sat up with her hands over her mouth, turning immediately to look at an equally shocked Jasmine as “Blood Shake” by Salmo and Dope D.O.D played. Morgan tentatively looked at Jasmine, unsure of how to even react. Despite there being visible frustration in her eyes at the loss, overall, the Queen gave her team mate and one of her lovers a genuine smile as she moved forward and pulled the nervous girl into a hug to congratulate her on the victory.
Winner: Morgan Payne

================================================================
[ERIC LEE V. MATT KLAZZIC]
Matt Klazzic’s King’s Road met Eric Lee’s Strong Style in an electrified opening match for this night of the VBMT. Matt Klazzic got the fans behind him as he dominated the beginning of the match against the UltraViolent God, keeping him rocked with rock hard elbow strikes and old school styled punches across the head. Combined with his angled drivers and slams, the masked half of Turn-It-Up Express was proving to be a handful for the decorated legend that was Wrestling’s Richard Ramirez. It wasn’t a perfect run against the man, however, as Eric Lee reminded Matt Klazzic several times throughout the match that he was one of the most dangerous men to ever set foot inside a wrestling ring, digging down and busting those deadly Muay Thai combinations out that sent Klazzic rolling out of the ring. This left an opening for Eric Lee to follow Klazzic out to ringside and continue his assault. Matt Klazzic, however - who was coming more and more out of his shell of refusing to get down and dirty in matches - started taking it right back to the man with the two almost getting counted out in their brawl before they both rushed back inside the ring.
Eric Lee regained control of the match once they were back in the ring but Matt Klazzic continued to fight with his newfound resiliency first seen in his tag match at Motor City Mayhem. As Eric and Matt were back at another exchange of chops and forearms, Eric Lee feinted a forearm and struck Matt with a kick to the midsection, reaching out and trying to set him up for Whispers In The Dark but, surprisingly, Matt Klazzic managed to block the lift with a leg wrapped around one of Lee’s and an arm around his head before elbowing him right in the back of it with that same arm. This left Eric Lee open for Matt Klazzic to hoist him up and drive him down with a Northern Lights Bomb for the pinfall.
Winner: Matt Klazzic
Result: Pinfall
Time: 12:34
================================================================
[CHRIS WOLFE V. HAVOK]
Steven Brody’s order that Havok had to enter the ring first, before his opponent did little to ward the lunatic off from blatantly blindsiding his competition. As soon as Chris Wolfe had one foot on the mat, over the middle rope, Havok bum rushed the former Television Champion, taking early control of the match as the bell rang and proceeded to manhandle Wolfe all over the ring. Steam rolling him with stiff lariats, big boots and shoulder tackles while also driving him repeatedly into the mat with suplexes. One instance saw Havok attempt a backdrop driver which Chris Wolfe flipped through and landed on his feet. Wolfe came off the ropes to go for an attack from behind but Havok spun around, hitting him with a discus lariat, knocking him inside out. Havok lifted Wolfe off of the mat into what looked like a powerbomb position but as he went for the lift, he simply just...threw him, falling back and sending Chris Wolfe flying in what could have only been described as a sort of reverse German Suplex. Chris Wolfe hit the mat, rolling out of the ring. He struggled to get up but when Havok came charging across and went for a suicide dive, he managed to get out of the way, causing Havok to go slamming into the guard rail. Chris threw Havok into the ring and attempted a cover but Havok kicked out.
Chris Wolfe pressed the advantage he had, keeping the pressure on Havok as much as he could. He went for his first attempt at the Direwolf but somehow, Havok reversed it as he came down and transitioned it right into a DDT before locking Chris Wolfe into the Anaconda Vice. Chris Wolfe managed to get his feet on the ropes and after a couple more moments of throwing everything he had at the Dominion of Pain’s newest monster, Chris Wolfe delivered the Direwolf to Havok for the pinfall.
Winner: Chris Wolfe
Result: Pinfall
Time: 17:10
================================================================
[NICO SALVATORE V. MIGUEL VILLALOBOS]
This match was more like a fight rather than a wrestling match. Not that either man had any personal vendetta against one another but it was well known from NFW fans that Nico Salvatore had a bit of an ego and an air of arrogance about him. It became quickly apparent that Miguel Villalobos had a bit of a chip on his own shoulder. Both men thought they were the best and they weren’t afraid to show it by beating the absolute HELL out of each other. Relatively unknown by NFW, Miguel Villalobos was intent on showing just why he deserved to be in this tournament at the expense of the self proclaimed God of Wrestling. The NFW universe had never really seen Nico go toe to toe with very many powerhouses before and it was clear that truthfully? Nico hadn’t. Focusing on his Strong Style strikes and his submission attempts, Nico tried to wear Miguel down but constantly found himself being reversed into a tight hold and powerfully slammed into the mat with some sort of suplex or a takedown. Not only that, but Miguel also hit like a tank as he kept Nico grounded with big boots, tackles and lariats. Miguel hit the Dias de los Muertos and went for the pinfall but Nico Salvatore got the shoulder up, angering the Wolf King into pummeling Nico in the corner.
Eventually, Nico fought his way back into some offense as it looked like he was just trying to survive against his unpredictable opponent. Nico began to clearly put more force behind his strikes which appeared to be working as they went on. Miguel Villalobos still proved to be an obstacle before Nico Salvatore but Nico picked up the win, delivering a Key to Orkas to Miguel while he was slumped down in a corner, then pulled him to the center of the ring to hit the GFY for the pinfall.
Winner: Nico Salvatore
Result: Pinfall
Time: 18:18
================================================================
[VINCENT STONE V. WILLIAM MANNHEIM]
In what was the shortest match of the evening, William Mannheim and Vincent Stone met in the ring with Stone immediately going for leg kicks to weaken Mannheim who menacingly towered over him. Mannheim was still struggling with his broken hand, making things easier for Stone but the younger athlete was already known as the type of man who wouldn’t take advantage of such a blatant injury. Instead, he focused on his strikes to Mannheim’s legs and his attempts at high flying springboard maneuvers and top rope dives. Even with one hand, Mannheim managed to halt Stone’s aerial offense eventually by catching him in a vice grip around the throat and pulled him down into a one armed DDT right into the mat.
Valiantly as Stone fought, he was unable to overcome Mannheim’s combination of size, power and years of experience. The Mangler finally hit Three Sheets To The Wind for the pinfall victory.
Winner: William Mannheim
Result: Pinfall
Time: 5:39
================================================================
[WYLD STALLION V. BUZZSAW]
This was perhaps the greatest test of Wyld Stallion’s young career as he stepped into the ring against a thirteen year veteran still in his early thirties. Buzzsaw gained early control of the match, opening up his offense with leg and hip kicks before taking Wyld Stallion to the mat and turning it into a submission game. Wyld Stallion managed to escape out of it but ate a stiff kick to the sternum for his troubles once Buzzsaw got to his feet. Buzzsaw continued to work Stallion over, laying into the younger athlete with his hardest combos. Wyld Stallion was finally able to counter an Irish whip into the ropes and came back with a springboard hurricanrana, slowing Buzzsaw’s pace down and shifting things in his direction. Once Wyld Stallion got up a head of steam, he was able to work on wearing Buzzsaw down and finally caused him to slip out of the ring to catch a breather. Wyld Stallion wasn’t going to allow that breather, however, as he came running and going for a Fosbury Flop over the top rope. Buzzsaw evaded it, and Stallion landed on his feet, stumbling to keep balance. As he was doing so, however, Buzzsaw cocked back and hit him with a roundhouse right to the side of the face, dropping the man.
The two continued their back and forth battle with Wyld Stallion refusing to take the punishment laying down; dishing it out as well as he was taking it in. Commentary began to buzz that they were approaching the time limit. Several near falls and finishers later, Buzzsaw missed the Buzzsaw Kick and ate a superkick which rocked him back a step, only to come back and feed Stallion one of his own. Buzzsaw ran into the ropes and came back right into a back elbow from Wyld Stallion who then caught him with a hurricanrana, snapping him down onto his head. Hastily, as fast as he could with how much of a beating he had taken, Wyld Stallion climbed to the top turnbuckle. He set up, leaped from the turnbuckle and soared through the air--
~DING DING DING~
--and landed his mark with a Phoenix Splash just as the bell rang to end the match. Wyld Stallion sat up in confusion when he tried to go for the pin until the referee explained to him that they had reached the time limit. This match was a draw.
Winner: DRAW

Hastily, as fast as he could with how much of a beating he had taken, Wyld Stallion climbed to the top turnbuckle. He set up, leaped from the turnbuckle and soared through the air--
~DING DING DING~
--and landed his mark with a Phoenix Splash just as the bell rang to end the match. Wyld Stallion sat up in confusion when he tried to go for the pin until the referee explained to him that they had reached the time limit. This match was a draw.
