The opening riff to “Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva are heard as the cameras open up on the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, preparing for Day 11 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.
================================================================
KEIJI SUGIWARA VS. ASHE CORVIN
Day 11 began with two men who have been struggling to find their footing in this tournament. Neither one came in with a victory so far, so you knew something had to give for somebody. Ashe was the one to take control early on in this match. He took the fight right to Keiji and used his veteran prowess to control the flow and pace of the match early on. Keiji would try to fight back again and again in the early portions, but it would always be stopped dead in its tracks with a well placed forearm or kick to the young upstart of NFW. Ashe continued bringing the pressure, even when Keiji was sent to the floor, Ashe hit a beautiful Assai moonsault and then continued his beating. He rolled Keiji in and was able to get a two count from that, but he pressed on. Ashe would try for a double springboard moonsault, but Keiji was able to roll out of the way.
After that costly mistake, Keiji would slowly make it to his feet and he’d start to lay in strikes to the veteran. From there, he’d begin to use his speed and strength advantage and keep Ashe on the ropes with ariel and springboard moves. At one point, Ashe delivered a springboard back elbow and followed it up with a standing moonsault that resulted in a two count. Keiji didn’t seem to get too frustrated though from that as he just picked Ashe up and delivered the Osaka Cutter before climbing to the top rope and hitting Loaded for Bear and picking up his first win of the tournament.
Winner: Keiji Sugiwara
Result: Pinfall
Time: 13:36
================================================================
GRIFFIN HAWKINS VS. SCOTT LEROUX
Griffin Hawkins and Scott Leroux came out and this match was one that pushed both men to the limit. Griffin with his high flying ability and Scott with his mastery of mat wrestling and submissions made for a great match for the fans to enjoy. Scott had Griffin grounded for the most part early on in this match and it looked like he was going to force the rockstar to submit early when he locked in Fujiwara armbar, but Griffin was able to force a break when he got to the ropes. Scott continued his pressure, working over the legs and back for most of this match. Time after time he would get nearfalls after delivering different variations of backbreakers and even a lung blower. Scott had Griffin in another tough spot though when he had him locked in a camel clutch and this is where the fans began to rally behind Griffin and will him to get out of the hold and drop Scott with an electric chair driver.
Both men were down after that though and the ref began his count. Just when it looked like both men were about to be counted out, Griffin was first to his feet. Griffin would start to lay in the offense on Scott, bring the match into his favor from here. At one point, Griffin was able to lock in a figure four and it almost looked like Scott was going to tap, but he eventually found his way to the ropes to force the break. Griffin pressed on though, hitting a slingblade before following it up with South of Heaven and picking himself up another impressive win in the tournament.
Winner: Griffin Hawkins
Result: Pinfall
Time: 16:22
================================================================
RICK DICKULOUS VS. EDDY POE
Both Rick and Eddy came out, ready for an all out fight. Eddy was looking to keep his momentum going, and Rick was looking to find himself back on the winning side of things in the tournament after a tough loss in the last match. Eddy used his striking and his brawling to get the early advantage in this match and force Rick to play defense. Eddy would almost dominate Rick for a while and was able to deliver a claymore kick that looked like it would have knocked a normal man out with hard it connected to the head of Rick, but instead it only resulted in very close nearfall for The Slasher of NFW. Eddy didn’t lose focus though and went to hit Demonmania, but Rick was able to counter out of the move and hit a discus clothesline that had both men on the mat.
As they began to rise, both men started to exchange forearms and chops as the crowd cheered for each blow Rick hit and booed for each on Eddy delivered. Once both men were up to their feet, Rick blocked a couple of forearms by Eddy and was able to deliver a series of forearms in a row to the head of his opponent before shoving him off into the ropes. When Eddy came off the ropes, Rick would hit a big boot and then pick Eddy up and deliver Misery Whip and cover Eddy for the three count.
Winner:Rick Dickulous
Result: Pinfall
Time: 10:02
================================================================
MAX LEBRUN VS. ANTON CROWLEY
Anton and Max came out, both looking to continue to build off of their last matches where they both pick up victories. The two men didn’t waste any time either as soon as the bell rung. The two men squared up and locked up. Anton was able to force Max into a corner and break, but it didn’t come without a chop that echoed throughout the arena as the crowd gave a loud “Wooooooo!” Anton backed off though and Max took the opening to gain advantage. He started to use his quickness and speed against Anton hitting a few springboard and ariel moves, but then he switched his tactics up to a more ground based and brawling approach that kept Anton guessing what could possibly come next from the veteran. Max would hit Anton with Devil in the Sky after he took him to the floor with a running clothesline. Max rolled Anton into the ring from there and went for The Slapshot, but Anton was able to duck it and deliver a forearm to the small of the back and then grab Max and hit a snap German suplex.
From there, Anton took advantage in the match and he would begin to use his technical abilities to work over Anton’s limbs and body. He kept the veteran grounded and continued pressing his advantage. Anton would deliver some well placed strikes and hit a clothesline from hell that got him a near fall. Max would battle back though, eventually finding a way to hit The Aneurysm and pick up the win.
Winner: Max LeBrun
Result: Pinfall
Time: 19:12

JUDAS LASHER VS TYLER GREY
Judas Lasher and Tyler Grey facing off once again was a treat every single fan of NFW wanted to see. These two men, who faced off not that long ago to unify the Heavyweight and Jr. Heavyweight Championships put on another classic for the fans here in attendance that was sure to be talked about as one of the best matches of the entire tournament.These two men knew each other so well and they had counters for their counters at each step of the way. Just when it seemed like one would have the advantage in the match, the other would counter a big move and bring the match to their favor. The crowd was split between the two, just out of respect and knowing what they can do together inside of that ring.
The two battled and battled, back and forth, neither one ever really finding a true advantage in the match, but Tyler would be the first to have a nearfall when he hit Judas with a basement dropkick and followed it up with a snap DDT. Tyler from there would try to lock in Skynet, but Judas knew the move and knew how to counter and did so a few times in this match. Judas however would soon have his first nearfall in the match when he hit a Gourdbuster on Tyler. At about the twenty minute mark in the match, both men came off the ropes and collided in the middle of the ring, hitting each other with running clotheslines. The ref began his standing ten count and the crowd once again began to swell, urging both men on in this match.
Both men eventually were able to make it to their feet and Judas started to get the advantage throwing heavy knife edge chops that echoed throughout the arena. Judas backed Tyler into the corner and shot him off into the opposite before charging in and hitting a splash. Judas would try for a Cobra Clutch suplex, but Tyler was able to counter out and deliver another DDT. Tyler, worn out and exhausted from the battle with the World Champion, climbed to the top rope, looking to deliver a shooting star press, but he took a little too long to climb and launch himself. As he was in the air, Judas caught him, hitting a picture perfect Lucifer’s Halo that had the crowd going wild and he picked up the victory.
Winner: Judas Lasher
Result: Pinfall

KENNEDY CAMPBELL VS ADRIANNA SALVATORE
Kennedy and Adrianna kicked off Day 11 action for the women in the first match of the night. Kennedy was trying to get back to her winning ways after a tough loss on Thursday while Adrianna was looking to keep the momentum she had after beating the former Women’s Champion. Both women came out and put it all on the line in this match. Both women looked great in this match and Adrianna took the early advantage as she would use her striking to keep Kennedy on the ropes and trying to play defense. Adrianna would focus on the legs of Kennedy, trying to keep the woman grounded. Adrianna would lock in various submissions early on, forcing Kennedy to either fight out or find the ropes for a break. Kennedy continued to play defensive though as Adrianna pressed her advantage more. Adrianna went for a MOAB Launcher, but Kennedy placed a well aimed kick to the shoulder of Adrianna that stopped her in her tracks.
From there, Kennedy would take over the match, battling on an injured leg, she’d fight through the pain, showing the hNFW fans just how much winning this match meant and how resilient she was. She’d keep Adrianna on the ropes, using her speed and quickness to her advantage. Kennedy would have to really fight through her pain in her leg though as she hit a double stomp that looked like it was going to put Adrianna away, but she took too much time to cover her after clutching at her knee. Kennedy though, continued to battle finding a way to make to the the top rope and hit a frog splash that would get her the three count and the win.
Winner: Kennedy Campbell
Result: Pinfall
Time: 12:32
================================================================
LARA BLACKHEART VS LILITH MEADOWS
Once two women who were on opposite ends of feuding groups, Lara Blackheart and Lilith Meadows were in the ring and the two seemed to show a little respect to each other. Lara was looking to bounce back from her latest loss and Lilith was just looking to keep improving in one on one action and hopefully pick up her second win. These two had a really good match against each other. For the first time all tournament, Lilith actually looked like she was comfortable in the ring. She battled hard early on, taking the early advantage. She started to put her technical ability and mastery of submissions on display. She worked over Lara’s shoulders and neck repeatedly delivering shoulder breakers and neckbreakers. She was clearly looking to set Lara up for the Dark Ending. Just when she thought it was time to lock in her signature submission though, Lara was able to scramble to the ropes and force Lilith to back off.
Lilith wouldn’t let up the pressure though as she delivered a few kicks to the shoulder and even a curb stomp that got her a near fall. Lilith would try to hit a dragon suplex, but Lara was able to counter it into a rollup and from there, the former Women’s Champion was able to take over in the match. Lara delivered her signature fireman’s neckbreaker that almost put Lilith away, but the Dark Faerie refused to go down so easily. The former champion didn’t get frustrated though. She just continued piling on the offense, hitting a couple of German suplexes and then hitting Lilith with Coma White and picking up the victory.
Winner: Lara Blackheart
Result: Pinfall
Time: 12:23
================================================================
RIVER CHANCE VS. LLUVIA CANE
Lluvia Cane and River Chance met in the ring and this was a match that was a big contrast in styles. River had the clear strength advantage throughout the match, but Lluvia showed her resilence time and time again. Out of the gates, River bowled through Lluvia with a shoulder tackle that sent the Cherokee Princess flying across the ring. River was just tossing Lluvia around, throwing her like a ragdoll. Early in this match, it just looked like Lluvia was never going to get out of the gates and this was going to be an early night for both women. Luvia was propped up in the corner as River went for a shoulder tackle, but the veteran was able to get out of the way, sending River shoulder first into the ring post. From there though, that was the opening Lluvia needed.
Luvia started to use her quickness now to avoid any power moves River tried. Lluvia would have to deliver a series of clotheslines just to knock River down to a knee. Once she did though, Lluvia was able to hit a shining wizard and get herself a nearfall. She kept on pressing, never letting River get back up to her feet. She’d eventually climb to the top rope and hit Your Horizon on River and covering her for the victory.
Winner: Lluvia Cane
Result: Pinfall
Time: 9:56

SAMANTHA TOLSON VS DONA ROTTEN
This was a match that saw two women who love a good fight take on one another as Samantha and Dona came out of the gate just swinging away. Dona was first to get the advantage though in this match. She used her brawling and her striking to force Samanatha to play defense. Dona would deliver a Saito Suplex and follow it up with a jumping knee drop to the sternum of Samantha that gave her a near fall. Dona would keep pressing, hitting her sliding lariat before climbing up to the top rope and hitting Toxicosis and once again getting a nearfall. Dona would try for a Punk-plex though, and Sam was able to counter it into a rollup for a nearfall of her own.
After Sam countered Snake eyes and drove Dona throat first into the turnbuckles, she was able to take over. She clasped her hands around Dona and delivered a series of German Suplexes. She would continue pressing as she delivered a series of kicks to the legs and body of Dona in the corner that she calls Nihon e no odo. Finally, Sam would grab Dona and she would deliver Victory Drop Alpha and cover Dona to pick up the victory.
Winner: Samantha Tolson
Result: Pinfall
Time: 13:23

SATIVA NEVEAH VS CHERRY ADDAMS
This was a match everyone had been talking about as the tournament went along and Cherry started showing the world exactly what she’s capable of doing. Everyone knew this was going to be the true test for Cherry and they knew that Sativa was going to have to give one of her best performances of the tournament if she wanted to hold off Cherry. This match felt like it was going to be one for the ages early on as each woman couldn’t find an advantage with one another. The two were countering almost anything and when it looked like one was about to chain a series of offensive moves together, the other would find a way to stop the momentum.
The two battled and battled hard. Cherry finally found an opening after Sativa missed a frog splash from the top rope. Cherry grabbed Sativa and began to use her size and strength to her advantage. She would toss Sativa around, delivering a snap powerslam and following it with a running senton splash that got her a nearfall. Sativa though, wasn’t going to give up and lay down so easily. The crowd really began getting behind both women as they battled. Dualing “Let’s go Ganja” and “Let’s go Addams” chants rang out through the arena just out of respect with what these two women were doing in the match. Cherry tried for a running powerslam, but Sativa was able to wiggle herself free and send Cherry to the floor. Sativa would deliver a tope con hilo and then roll Cherry back into the ring, this time delivering and hitting the frog splash and getting a nearfall.
About twenty-five minutes into the match, both women were showing exhaustion, but they continued to fight on. The two of them hit the ropes, both delivering crossbodies that sent them both crashing to the mat. The two women laid there, breathing heavily as the ref administered the ten count. By the count of eight, both women were up to a knee and they were exchanging forearms as the dueling chants broke out once more. Sativa finally found the advantage and got to her feet. She delivered Order 66 and almost put Cherry away. Sativa would climb to the top rope and hit the Sonic Screwdriver, but she couldn’t follow up with the pin just out of exhaustion as she crawled towards Cherry and the bell rang signaling the time limit had expired on them.
