Yugo Phailous/Johnny B. Vs Leo Banks/Chad Vargas

It's an odd pairing, sure, but Vargas has been looking to get his shot on the main show and he finally does. Vargas is known to not like much of anybody besides himself... well neither does The Johnny and even though Johnny didn't advance past Daniel Smart he put on a hell of a fight and rumor has it he's looking to smack Vargas around a bit because his face annoys JB. Phalious had one match so far, but he's a true blue Cowboy, hard working to the bone. Leo Banks on the other hand... he's rich. He's got the money and doesn't understand why somebody would want to be so hard working when you can pay people to do that for you. A lot of combustible elements here, and a lot of odd pairings but who knows... maybe we'll see the start of a couple tag teams.

Marie Porter Vs Kat Vs Shawna Martinez

Marie picked up a huge singles victory over Kat on Unstoppable adding to the already combustible element that is Shawna and Kat, with an surprise stipulation added right before their match at US6. Our Women know how to tear it up like no other, and now this triple threat will be great, and the stakes are higher as the winner walks out as the first ever Women's champion.

Tyler Xero Vs Bryan York
York must now face the gauntlet following his actions at US6. First up? Tyler Xero -- a young newcomer who has been nothing short of impressive in the ring and gets a chance to be even more impressive. York made it known he thinks he's better than the rest, well here's his chance to prove it against a future world champion. How will York fare? Will start off the gauntlet strong, or will Xero show the world one more time why he is that damn good?

Matt Ward Vs Luke Jackson

Ward and Jackson -- it started at Unstoppable #1 when Ward picked up a win over Loose Cannon but not before throwing Jackson clear into the audience. At Unstoppable #2 they had a rematch and Jackson picked up the huge win but it just didn't stop there. Since then, Ward had been after Jackson before challenging him to a Dog Collar match to keep him grounded, to try and eliminate that high risk style of his. Well, Jackson accepted and the blood has just continued to boil between them but here at Best of the Best it all comes to an end. Will Jackson find a way around the collar and chain, or will Ward's size and stretch prove to be too much at such a close distance?

Peyton Von Licht Vs Neforian

Everything has it's good and evil but this one seems like it's straight out of a comic book. Peyton has been our residential hero without a mask and a cape for months now but a few weeks ago, a man by the name of Neforian has been having vignette's run, saying he would be here in MSW, at Best of the Best. Well, following Peyton's loss to Bryce, he went to Danny and specifically stated that if Neforian is going to be here, than he can face Peyton because it's the job of every hero to vanquish all evil, and Neforian seems more evil than anyone to come before him. This will be Neforian's debut; how will he fare against the hero? Will evil truly be more powerful, or will good always prevail?

Frank Washington Vs Robert Garland

Such a storied history, there's not enough room to say it all. Over the past two months these two have been at each others throats, Frank saying he's a changed man from who he was in the past, and Badger is out to expose Frank for being the monster he was years ago. War of words, a couple of matches under their belts, getting involved with each others matches and finally a contract signing with a no compete clause until they meet in the ring. Finally this war gets to come to an end at Best of the Best and the title couldn't be any more fitting. In a true battle of warriors that's sure to be bloody and gruesome, who will be.. the best of the best?

Daniel Smart Vs Bryce Manning

MAIN EVENT

Weeks of tournament action to finally get down to this point. Bryce Manning, "The Architect", "The Anti-Christ of Sports Entertainment" or just "The Best" in some cases; whichever you want to call him made his debut at the end of Unstoppable #1 interrupting the main event between Drew Stevenson and Scotty Addams and then began to demand the championship. Danny Stevenson sought out to play it fair and entered Bryce into the tournament qualifiers just like everybody else, including Daniel Smart. Bryce has said he was going to take this title and carry the promotion on his back to greater pastures... Smart on the other hand? Well he doesn't much care for Bryce so we're told. He's had to deal with Frank and Badger, twice, and a triple threat for his quarter final match and that got him to where he's at now. It started with 16 matches to qualify, and now we're down to the final two. Who walks out of the Columbia, Missouri being the one to make ultimate history... as the first ever MSW Heavyweight Champion?

Intro

DARK MATCH  

Hunter McKnight Vs Davis Wiley 

Winner: Davis Wiley

---

With the show opening up to a packed crowd, we see three very known men already standing in the ring to a huge ovation. With microphones already in hand, these three men were Danny Stevenson, Drew Stevenson and Justin "Giant" Gravitt.

Danny: Welcome everybody to a very speshul night here in Missouri State Wrasslin’. I wanna start off by saying thank ya ta all of ya’ll who have made this possible. Without ya’ll, we wouldn’t be here celebratin’ this magical moment an’ we most certainly wouldn’t be crownin’ tha best of tha best tonight.

Bring his microphone up to his lips; the fans go berserk for their hometown hero, Drew Stevenson.

Drew: You see, my uncle put it best – without all of you here tonight? There would be no best of the best; there would be no Missouri State Wrestling, hell, without all of you? There would not have even been a Drew Stevenson in this business.

The fans in attendance cheer loudly.

Drew: Thank you! Now tonight is special because we will crown the very first ever Missouri State Wrestling Heavyweight Champion as well as the Women’s Champion. We will see the best wrestling in the world, showcased by our men and our women.

Lowering his microphone, Gravitt brings his microphone up.

Giant: Tonight will be also be very special because you will see a match that rarely ever gets used, that being the dog collar match. I can remember when Greg Valentine and Roddy Piper battled in this match and let me tell you folks, you’re in for a REAL treat! So sit back, relax, and enjoy our first match of the evening which showcases our soon to be tag team division.

Lowering the microphone, the three men receive a standing ovation as this Missouri crowd is ready and excited for Best of the Best.

Yugo Phailous/Johnny B. Vs Leo Banks/Chad Vargas

Kicking off our first match of the evening, we hear the bell sound as Yugo and Vargas are starting this match off and their partners, banks and Bonecrusher are on the outside on the ring apron. Staring one another down, Vargas mouths something to Yugo who hauls off and punches him right in the mouth. Stumbling backwards, Vargas is quick to regain his composure as he fires back hitting a huge punch of his own as these two men kick off tag team action with nothing more than a good old fashioned fight.

Smith: To no surprise, we kick off Best of the Best with a brawl.

Bradford: That’s how every show should be started, with two guys trying to maim each other.

Smith: Well then you’ll love the dog collar match later on tonight.

Bradford: You mean when Matt Ward gets his revenge on that little twerp?

Having gained the upper hand, Vargas gave Yugo a thumb to the eye which caught him off guard. Backing Yugo into the corner, Vargas starts stomping on him and as the referee tells him to get him out of the corner since he has the ropes, Banks uses this time to choke Yugo with the tag rope as the ref isn’t looking. Tagging Banks in, the young, brash rich kid pulls Yugo out of the corner and hits a textbook vertical suplex. Sitting up afterwards, he smirks and doesn’t utilize this opportunity to try making the cover. Pulling Yugo to his feet, he grabs him by the arm and backs up pulling him in looking for a short-arm clothesline but Yugo ducks under the clothesline and reaches back grabbing Banks underneath the chin hitting a neck breaker which seems to turn the tide.

Smith: What a neck breaker by Yugo, that was a great counter.

Bradford: It was okay, not as good as if Bryce Manning had done it but still pretty good.

Quickly making the cover, the referee drops down to make the three count.

One...

Two...

Banks gets the shoulder up in time. Picking Banks up to his feet by his blonde locks, Yugo is caught off guard by a poke to the eyes which causes him to stumble holding his eyes. Darting to the ropes, Banks returns and drop kicks Yugo right in the left knee dropping him like a sack of potatoes. Quickly making the tag, Vargas enters the ring and stomps on the lower back region of Yugo. Looking at Johnny who has yet to be tagged in yet and taunting him, this angers him as he tries getting in but the referee stops him. Utilizing this perfect moment, Banks enters into the ring and both he and Vargas hit an old school double vertical suplex onto Yugo as Johnny is arguing with the referee to turn around while getting out of the ring.

Bradford: These two are on the same page and as of right now? They are my pick to take it all.

With Banks back as the legal man but really illegally, he smirks arrogantly and taunts getting the fans to boo heavily. Picking Yugo up, he is hit with a very fast DDT from out of nowhere which flattens Banks. Beginning to crawl towards his partner, Yugo is looking to make a much needed tag as Banks is beginning to stir. Quickly darting into the ring, Vargas quickly snatches Yugo by the foot trying to hold him back, hopping on one foot, Yugo manages to hit an Enziguri which drops Vargas and lunges out to make the tag as the crowd goes ballistic. Entering into the ring, Johnny is on fire leveling both Vargas and Banks with stiff punches. As Vargas gets up stumbling, Johnny clotheslines him over the top rope as he hits the floor. Exiting the ring, Yugo begins taking the fight to Vargas on the outside and Banks took this time to climb up to the top turnbuckle as Johnny is facing away from him.

Smith: Johnny could be in trouble.

Turning around, Banks jumps off of the top rope and Johnny catches him on his shoulders. Positioning him perfectly, he hits the Johnny special and immediately hooks the leg.

One...

Two...

THREE!!!

Barbara Braman: The winners of the match, YUGO PHAILOUS AND JOHNNY BOOONECRUSHER!!!

The American Reality

“They say diamonds are forever—“

The shot opened up on a diamond sitting on a gold band.

“And so I am.”

The camera pulled backwards to show Roman Gold standing there—on the same yacht as before. This time with a black suit covering his white dress shirt, he smiled for the camera.

“I’ve been asked ‘Roman, what is The American Reality? And my answer? I.. I am The American Reality. What’s known as ‘The American Dream’ is a dated and flawed belief- why should people who aren’t as successful as myself get the same options as me? It’s wrong—as I said, it’s a flawed system. I represent what being an American should be about.. I AM The American Reality.. Roman Gold, and I approve of this message.”

With a nod, Roman smiled once again before taking a sip from the wine glass he picked up. Toasting it towards the camera, Roman nodded.

“And in order to show my support for the broke and hungry also known as 98% of the MSW Roster, let me show you people how I deal with a problem like that.”

Tossing the glass of wine into the ocean, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of bills and begun to carelessly throw it into the ocean as well.

“When you’re Roman Gold, you do as you please. Understand that before you attempt to get in my way.”
