Kevin Cole: It is time for The Heretics to defend their tag team titles against Play Money, the Nightmare Express and American Trash!

Nik Cain: And here I thought American Trash had been fired for showing up to a couple house shows so piss loaded they couldn’t even get in the ring.

(The crowd, awaiting American Trash, are instead greeted with "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats. A good portion of the crowd stands up because they know who is coming out; it's none other than Comedy and Tragedy, the Thespian Express. Comedy runs down to the ring...at least as well as a fat man of his stature can. Tragedy falls behind...rather reluctantly. Both men have new outfits, and even new silver masks. Comedy grabs the microphone away from the ring announcer.)

Comedy: HEE HEE HEE!!! You guys thought you were getting American Trash, but instead you get the Thespian Express. HEE HEE!!! Surpriiiiiiise.

Tragedy: Whatever. We've spent the last year or so in Japan, and got tired of it. Even Comedy started to grow weary of their cuisine...

Comedy: HEE HEE HEE!!

Tragedy: So after weighing some options, we decided to come back to the league that revived the Thespian Express in the first place. The league that we'll always stay loyal to and the league that we will dominate once more. These three other teams will just be stepping stones for us. The Thespian Express will rule in 2003.

(Trag throws the mic down and the Thespians slide into ring. A somewhat disgruntled ring announcer bends over and picks his microphone back up.)

Kevin Cole: And Darian Blaze has won this match!

Nik Cain: He don’t look much like a winner. Along with any possible internal injuries, he’s got a scalded hand and has lost a lot of blood. But two things he has not lost are his pride and his title. Security is gonna have its hands full restoring order out there but we still have one more match back inside the arena.

(Security pries Brad Steel and RBH apart. They move towards Nimrod but nobody really wants to touch him. Fortunately he simply walks off on his own as the Heretics struggle in vain to get to their feet. As we cut back to the ring, president/owner James Crawford is in the ring with a microphone in his hand and a title belt over his shoulder. It looks like the World Title belt used to, only bigger and better.)

James Crawford: I sincerely hope you’re all enjoying the show so far. It looks like my account with Hertz rent-a-car is no longer in good standing but, other than that, I’d consider tonight a success so far. But we’ve still got one match to go, don’t we. This belt on my shoulder...this is the brand new and improved FCW World Title belt. Jean has been walking around for a long time with that belt he himself destroyed. Well, whether he walks through the fire unscathed and still champion or if someone else finally burns him and takes it, the winner of tonight’s main event most certainly deserves this title and the name champion. Enjoy.

(“Smoke on the Water” plays as Crawford leaves the title belt on the time keeper’s table and walks to the back.)

Nik Cain: Looks like whoever is man enough to win this one is gonna have a shiny new accessory to help keep their pants up.

Kevin Cole: It is time for our main event! The biggest match of the year! Everyone already knows the players, so let’s get to the ring!

The winner is Hazard. Time of match: 0:51:02

Kevin Cole: Hazard has done it! Hazard has done it! After six months, Jean has been defeated and Hazard is the new FCW World Champion!

Nik Cain: You heard the man; he swore he would do whatever it took to make sure that Jean did not leave this arena with that title. And, when it came down to just the two of them, he had no other choice. Let’s tally it up. The man took three Moments of Clarity, a Tears For Fears, and a pair of Deadly Promises. But, in the end, it was a vicious Flatscan that ended it all.

Kevin Cole: This has been an unbelievable evening! We saw the debuts of two new superstars! We saw the return of Nimrod! We saw the return of the Thespian Express! We saw a street fight break down into a huge brawl right out on Seventh Avenue! We saw the crowning of a new Television Champion, new Tag Champions, and a new FCW World Champion!

Nik Cain: Expectations were high for the third installment of FCW’s flagship pay per view event. And, speaking as someone who just witnessed it live and in person, it delivered.

Kevin Cole: Most definitely! Until next time, this is Kevin Cole for Nik Cain saying goodnight!

(We cut back to the ring to see Hazard, barely able to stand on his own, being awarded the brand new FCW World Title belt and holding it up for the crowd to see. On that image, the screen fades to black.)
