FCW Presents Summer Salvation
3 on 2 Handicap Match
Legacy(Evan Bourne, Cody Rhodes) vs. World Elite(Puma, Chris Sabin, Petey Williams)[/center]
The fans weren’t exactly on the edge of their seats for this one, not to say it was a boring match, but it lacked the excitement a show opener should have had, plus the only two men who put forth an effort were Puma and Evan Bourne.
The two put up good efforts, surprisingly redeeming their partners from absolute embarrassment. Puma took control early, dominating with a serious of high flying maneuvers which got the crowd excited. Eventually Bourne began to battle back, but he didn’t look his best. He began to control Puma, working on his legs to keep him grounded and slow down the much faster Puma. When it looked like Puma wouldn’t be able to use his speed and that Bourne had the match won the crowd’s cheers gave Puma the edge he needed to regain his strength and nail the Front-Flip Piledriver for the win.
Winners: World Elite (Puma, Petey Williams and Chris Sabin) via pinfall at 7:31
Television Championship
Wizz Kidd(c) vs. Karl Storm
Wizz Kidd(c) vs. Karl Storm
Chris Sabin Wizz Kidd finally had to defend his Television Title, and unfortunately for him he had to do so against the high-rising Karl Storm. Kidd finally seemed to be near his best again, and Karl Storm too. Wizz Kidd did manage to surprise the fans, however, with moves at times where it seemed like there was no chance, but he still managed. Storm eventually ended Wizz Kidd’s momentum and silence the fans with the ‘Eddie Kim Sends His Regards’ forcing Wizz to tap out, and crowning Storm the new Television Champion.
Winner and new Television Champion: Karl Storm via submission at 8:25
No Holds Barred Match
Edgecrusher vs. Eggman vs. Puma vs. Suicide
Edgecrusher vs. Eggman vs. Puma vs. Suicide
It’s tough to say what Puma was doing in a second match; he was completely worn out from his earlier contest against Legacy that he couldn’t put up much of a fight, especially against the likes of Edgecrusher and Eggman.
The same could be said about Suicide, expect for the ‘being worn out part’ he just didn’t look good and even Puma out-wrestled him. Edgecrusher and Eggman took advantage of the hardcore stipulation, using some unique weapons. With Puma and Suicide being at a disadvantage all it took was for either Edgecrusher or Eggman to be taken out for just a moment, and the other would take advantage. However the two did manage to stay up and going for a while but eventually Eggman got hit just a little bit harder in the head, and he fell to the floor. Puma, being the one who did so, turned to meet a rather fresh Edgecrusher, who dropped him quickly and covered him for the big pay per view win.
Winner: Edgecrusher via pinfall at 6:57

Ultimate X Match
Ultimate X Match
Alonzo Parker vs. Edgecrusher vs. Eggman vs. Luminous Robin[/center]
Edgecrusher and Eggman both barely got a break after going through a grueling hardcore match, so this was really left to the undefeated competitors; Robin and Parker.
They had a good fight going on for a little bit, but it was clear that Robin was the better of the two, especially being the risk-taker that he is. He took the ropes high above head to his advantage, and keeping the fans excited. The hype for this match was filled by Robin, he made this match great, and after all he did he finally climbed the ropes after Edgecrusher and Eggman fought each other until they both dropped down, out cold, but it wasn’t without the hand, or flying body as it were that really left them done. Parker thought he had Robin off his game but it turned out that Robin had Parker just where he wanted him. Just as Alonzo closed in Robin took one quick and strong step into the Climax, dropping Parker to the mat with a thud leaving Robin to reach the briefcase and his first ever title shot in FCW.
Winner and new Number One Contender for the World Title: Luminous Robin at 9:01
Grudge Match
Jimmy Gimmick vs. Randy Orton
Jimmy Gimmick vs. Randy Orton
As far as the fans were concerned this was the main event, and they were concerned. The only thing these people wanted to see was both men get hurt, and they certainly got their wish. These two rivals exchanged blows, both men with looks of hatred and anger in their eyes. Gimmick’s blows were fast and painful, but Randy’s more calculated shots clearly got the better of Gimmick who went hurtling into the corner. Randy took control early, using his power to keep Gimmick on a tight leash. Eventually Gimmick’s crazed attacks took Orton by surprise, and Gimmick cornered him, reigning down uncoordinated punches and kicks that left Orton powerless.
The two were exhausted early on, but they kept going none the less. Despite the fact that the fans hated the two wrestlers they couldn’t have been more excited. As the match waged on into the night Gimmick began to pull ahead, reigning down weak right hands that sent Orton backwards into the ropes. As Gimmick stumbled towards his prey Randy managed to push off from the ropes and catch Gimmick with an RKO, leaving both men down and out. Eventually Orton rolled over on top of him to pick up the win over his rival.
Winner: Randy Orton via pinfall at 18:21
World Heavyweight Championship
Alexander 'The Great' Parise(c) vs. Seifer Blacke
Alexander 'The Great' Parise(c) vs. Seifer Blacke
This was a good match, no doubt about it, but it was overshadowed by the Gimmick/Orton match before. Parise and Seifer both but forth a strong effort, but it was Parise who seemed to have the upper-hand.
Alexander ‘The Great’ dodged kicks and punches and knocked Seifer back with some quick technical style moves. Parise eventually took Seifer down and worked away on his legs, trying to take away from his powerful kicks. Parise’s plan worked, when Seifer began battling back he didn’t have as much power behind his kicks, but he still managed to take control of the match for a bit. Seifer eventually connected with a huge kick to the head and then mounted on Parise and nailed some strong close fists, leaving Parise with blood running down into his mouth. Seifer laughed, as he looked at the blood on his hands and as he admired it Alexander got up and nailed Seifer in the mid-section, then he nailed the ‘Parise Piledriver’ and managed to hook the leg for the win.
Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Alexander ‘The Great’ Parise at 11:43
