XL: EXTRA LARGE.
Live from the Denver Coliseum in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Thursday 23rd May, 2024.
FIRST MATCH || 1/30.
Kleio De Santos vs. Sawyer Xavier.
Singles Match for the FWA Television Championship.
Match writer: SS.
At Fight Night, Kleio De Santos became only the second ever person to win the FWA Television Championship by defeating Jack the Clipper and claiming the vacated belt. Meanwhile, at Meltdown XXXIX, Sawyer Xavier earned the right to challenge for that belt when he overcame Xperienx Xtacee. Last week's Carnal Contendership saw Xavier perform well in the battle royale main event, whilst KDS’ involvement was mainly concerned with the current troubles of the Coven faction that she once led. De Santos will have to put this out of her mind at Meltdown XL, with her title defense scheduled to open the show in FWA stronghold Denver.
SECOND MATCH || 1/20.
Tr1ck or Tr4sh (Halloween Knight, Trash Mammal, and Juan Tothrefor) vs. The Lumberjacks (Lucy LuPone, Doug LuPone and Dan LuPone).
Trios Match.
Match writer: AON?
Juan Tothrefor, Trash Mammal, and Halloween Knight are the current FWA Trios Champions, thanks to their win over Trixie Bordeaux and the Ravenwood sisters at Fight Night. Now, they turn their attention to Lucy, Doug, and Dan LuPone of the Lumberjacks, who have been absent from FWA television for a while and will be hoping to return with a bang.
THIRD MATCH || 1/20.
Brooklyn Steiner vs. Joe Burr.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Man.
Speaking of returns, Brooklyn Steiner caused a stir when he threw his name into the hat during last Saturday's Carnal Contendership event. Although ‘the Work Horse's came up short of qualification for the Golden Opportunity match, he impressed in the battle royale and now looks to return to singles action in the right way. His opponent is former FWA Gauntlet Champion Joe Burr, who has frequently proved that's it's not the size of the dog in the fight that counts.
FOURTH MATCH || 1/20.
Michelle von Horrowitz vs. XYZ.
Singles Match.
Match writer: SS.
Carnal Contendership didn't go as planned for Michelle von Horrowitz, who was soundly defeated by Chris Peacock for the FWA North American Championship, but not before footage of an apparent clandestine hook-up with none other than Shawn Summers played in the arena. XYZ has had problems of his own recently, too, with frequent run-ins with Kleio De Santos only further exacerbated by issues within his own crew of XYZites. Both will hope to put these distractions to one side when they lock up in Colorado.
FIFTH MATCH || 1/20.
Vengador [w/ ”The Dubb” Bobby Joel] vs. Big Bam Slam.
Singles Match
Match writer: Dubb.
Vengador hasn't had the best of luck in the ring as of late, being on the wrong side of the outcome of several high profile matches at recent pay-per-view events. Perhaps most notable was his first round exit in the recent King of the Deathmatch tournament, which will no doubt be a painful memory for Vengador. Now under the guidance of “The Dubb” Bobby Joel, he hopes to avenge some of these losses when he goes one on one with Big Bam Slam at Meltdown XL.
SIXTH MATCH || MAIN EVENT || 1/60.
Trixie Bordeaux vs. Johnny Johnson.
X Rules Match for the FWA X Championship.
Match writer: Welsh.
We start with a huge championship match, and we also finish with one! Trixie Bordeaux shocked the world when she outlasted fifteen other competitors in this year's installment of the King of the Deathmatch tournament, winning the FWA X Championship in the process. Johnny Johnson was the defeated finalist in that tournament, and since then he has earned another shot at Bordeaux thanks to a victory against Colby Sol (in another tournament rematch, this time of the semi-finals). We will find out if the result is different when both wrestlers go in relatively fresh, as the pair are set to clash again in XL’s main event!

040: “POP A FORTY.”
Live from the Allstate Arena near Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Saturday 25th May, 2024.
FIRST MATCH || 1/20.
Jack the Clipper vs. Gino Galucci.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Tommy.
The Carnal Contendership match saw the FWA debut of Gino Galucci, who impressed in his performance in the battle royale, earning himself a permanent contract in the process. His first taste of singles action comes against Jack the Clipper, who will be hoping to right some of the wrongs of recent weeks, when the FWA Television Championship slipped through his grasp. Jack and Gino will open up the FWA’s return to Chicago, Illinois(‘s surrounding area)!
SECOND MATCH || 1/20.
Gabrielle vs. Xperienx Xtacee.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Jimmy.
Gabrielle was one of six competitors who qualified for the Golden Opportunity match, by finishing between second and seventh in the Carnal Contendership. Xperienx Xtacee was not so fortunate, falling just short in his efforts during the thirty-person battle royale. He'll be looking to put that behind him and get one over on the former FWA World Champion and Hall of Famer when the two duke it out in this singles match-up.
THIRD MATCH || 1/20.
Cyrus Truth vs. Trevor Ocean.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Jimmy.
Two more competitors who qualified for the Golden Opportunity match-up, and thus the chance to win that all-important briefcase, are Cyrus Truth and Trevor Ocean, who finished in sixth and fourth place respectively. The Exile also suffered defeat in his World Championship challenge against Jeremy Best earlier in the night, but will hold on to the fact that the briefcase would entitle him to another shot at that prize - and perhaps at Best - at a time of his choosing. Both men will hope to get one over on the other in this Golden Opportunity preview match.
FOURTH MATCH || 1/10.
Trixie Bordeaux vs. Spooder-Man.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Welsh.
Trixie Bordeaux pulls double duty this cycle, featuring in two matches only forty eight hours apart. On Thursday, she defends her FWA X Championship against Johnny Johnson on Meltdown in Denver, and then on Saturday she is scheduled to take on Spooder-Man in Chicago. Whether she will enter Fallout 040 as the champion remains to be seen but Trixie specifically requested this match, blaming the masked man for the antics of Aaron Harrows at Carnal Contendership that lead to her elimination.
FIFTH MATCH || 1/20.
Jeremy Best vs. Mike Parr.
Singles Match.
Match writer: Dubb.
The Prodigy finished a very respectable third in the recent Carnal Contendership match, thus earning a chance to win the Golden Opportunity briefcase and a shot at the FWA World Championship. This is a prize that has always eluded Mike Parr, and one that is currently in the possession of his Fallout 040 opponent. Jeremy Best overcame Cyrus Truth at Las Vegas’s event, and now has a match against old foe Krash on the horizon at New York City’s Back in Business. It's no rest for the wicked, though, with the champion again scheduled to compete in singles action on 040, with a serious threat to his recent FWA dominance across the ring from him.
SIXTH MATCH || MAIN EVENT || 1/30.
FTN (Alyster Black and Chris Peacock) vs. The Undisputed Alliance (Jackson Fenix and Nate Savage).
Singles Match.
Match writer: Man.
The FWA World Tag Team Championships changed hands in controversial fashion at Tokyo’s Fight Night event. Randy Ramon entered the bout on his own, but left with the belts… along with one of his opponents, after Donny Toner crossed the floor and helped him defeat Jay Kenny. Two credible threats have now appeared in the form of FTN and the Undisputed Alliance, both of whom are former holders of the prize now held by Ramon and Toner (not that Toner). The winner of 040’s main event will secure a match against the newly crowned champions at the grandest stage of them all: August’s spectacular in NYC. Let the, ahem, path to Back in Business commence!
