CHERRY BOMB vs. THUNDER-KITTY
"After a tremendous Queen of Indies Tournament Absolute Freedom Bracket showing these two ladies are back and put on quite a showing. Before the match Kitty dedicates this match win or lose to her first round opponent in the bracket the injured Samantha Heights which led to a huge crowd chant for Samantha.

Both ladies shook hands before the bell and really went toe to toe with each other in the beginning of the contest. A real offensive advantage began for Cherry after connecting with picture perfect flying head scissors coming off the ropes followed up with knee strikes in the corner, BUT Kitty would fight back with vicious corner chops the two would exchange in the corner for several moments.

Kitty would get a near fall thanks to a vicious clothesline turning Cherry inside out! TK would then attempt to apply her Sleeper Hold but Cherry would escape the hold before it was fully applied and connect with her Death from Above for the hard fought 3 count."

After the match Cherry Bomb helped her opponent to her feet and the two embraced in a show of respect, Thunder Kitty looked dejected leaving the ring as Cheery Bomb looked at the camera and told Tomoko Nakagawa that she is waiting."




FRED YEHI vs. TREVOR LEE
"The debut of the Carolina Caveman" Trevor Lee who has become one of the most contreversal figures in FREELANCE INTERNATIONAL and because of his suspension for one event he was able to be booked here and what a showing he had with his championship title in toe.

A great back and fourth exchange between the two, with some counter wrestling appreciated by the crowd. Lee would connect with a stiff elbow strike followed up with a perfectly executed standing dropkick to the face. Yehi would leave the ring to break up the momentum, Lee would attempt to connect with Yehi with a sliding foot strike under the ropes but Yehi would avoid and catch his opponent outside and deliver a sick power bomb to the concrete floor!

Lee looked out of it when Yehi tossed him back in the ring and applied his KOJI CLUTCH Finisher! Lee was indeed in some serious trouble but was able to crawl and scratch his way to the bottom rope to get the break. Yehi would drag Lee back to the center of the ring and look to finish him off , however it back fired as he let Trevor get back to his feet as he attempted his Yehi Special Kick which Lee avoided and out of nowhere connected with his kill shot knee for the three count and victory!"

*AFTER THE MATCH HE LOOKED IN THE CAMERA AND SCREAMED THAT HE HOPED FREELANCE INTERNATIONAL was watching, as he went to the outside to grab a steel chair and looked to do some major damage to Yehi as he smashed it over his downed opponents left knee! When DAN SEVERN came down to the ring which Trevor Lee saw and dropped the chair and just walked away to the back.

The crowd cheered as Severn extended his hand to Yehi who struggled to his feet on his own...Severn just shook his head in disapproval and went outside of the ring when from behind Fred got dropped right on the back of his head by CRAIG MITCHELL via his Dead lift German Suplex!

Mitchell then spit on the downed as he left the ring with Dan Severn! We hope to have more on this developing incident soon*





HAAS.HOYT.HAYDEN (HHH) vs. ?
"The newly formed trio would come down to the ring at first welcomed by a mixed reaction but as soon as Charlie got on the house mic and began just calling the crowd everything in the book with no filter, for the crowd it was quickly a heated crowd and trash would quickly start littering the ring...HHH would eventually get to issuing an open challenge to ABSOLUTE FREEDOM..Haas continued to say those ANTS we squashed aint here and no and your SWEET SCIENCE 16 winner took his talents to Japan!

When the lights went out of the building and as they flickered back on.....KEVIN STEEN who was "fired" at the time of this match from some place in Connecticut and EL GENERICO who rumor has it has been in witness protection in Mexico over the past few years ro the crowds delight stand in the middle of an ABSOLUTE FREEDOM ring!!!!!!!

The two long time partners/ rivals embrace, Steen grabs the microphone and says he knos something about the letter H and goes house on Hoyt!! Hayden runs to the outside and Genericho and Haas go at it!

Heavy stiff shots traded by Steen and Hoyt with the former Universal Champion getting the upper hand thanks to an elbow smash which led to a superkick to the face Lance who was rocked for a moment but then just smiled at Kevin and the two just continued to trade blows in the center of the ring!

Meanwhile Generico and Haas brawled outside of rthe ring with the masked man connected with a cradle DDT on the concrete putting Charlie down..The luchidor from Canada would then climb up on the ring apron and look to connect with a cork screw moonsault off the apron to his opponent but Barbie would pull Haas out of the way!

Generico would crash and burn on the concrete! Steen would bite Hoyt in the face busting him open and deliver an unbelievable Fisherman Buster onto his knee! Then see his partner in trouble outside the ring and decide to deliver a suicide dive threw the ropes onto Charlie Haas and Barbie Hayden to the utter shock of the crowd!

Lance Hoyt would recover see everyone stiring and struggling to get to thier feet outside the ring and decided to do a cross body block over the top rope crashing on everyone outside the ring! After a few moments the bloody Hoyt would drag El Generico in the ring and deliver his F'n Slam right in the center of the square circle BUT only for a NEAR fall!

Steen would get T-Bone suplexed on the concrete by Haas But would recover and pull Charlie off the apron and smash him into the steel post! Steen would get back into the ring and Hoyt would toss Generico into the hands of Steen who caught and just tossed him back to Hoyt to the delight of the fans right into another F'n Slam!

Steen would however make the pin save and look to go to blows again with hoyt when suddenly another official came storming into the ring with a cell phone in hand he told everyone Kevin had a call and it is urgent!

Steen took the phone and after a moment yelled...Stephanie!!!! really!!!! ok I am there...but wait what about the other guy??? Ok so he can come just not with that stupid mask GOT IT!

With that Steen hung up the call threw the phone down and told everyone that he is out of this dump..that they can watch him on Monday nights! and with that he threw the unconscious Genericho over his shoulder and walked out on the match and the building to end the show!"

FRED YEHI vs. CRAIG MITCHELL (w/ Dan Severn in his corner)

"Fans chanted for the home state fighter Severn as he stood in the corner of Mitchell, who went after Yehi as the bell sounded to begin the match, the two exchanged open hand strikes in the center of the ring but it was Mitchell with with a back elbow and a big knee strike that got the advantage.

Fred however got back into the fight after reversing Criag into the ropes and hitting his Special Kick and a German suplex! Yehi stared down at Severn as he continued his assault. Mitchell got caught with the Blame Bell which nearly got him beat but was able to reach the ropes. Fred screamed at him to get to his feet and Mitchell responded and the two went nose to nose and started in each other with vicious chops one right after the other!

Mitchell had blisters that popped on his chest because of Yehi striking so hard , but that seemed to motivate the Illinois native more then hurt him as he went on a offensive explosion thanks to another big knee right into a power-bomb pile-driver spiking Yehi right on the top of his head for the impressive three count.

After the match officials came to the ring to check on the downed Yehi but he eventually got slowly to his feet and was given and ice pack to put on the back of his neck as he was assisted to the back."


MATT KNICKS & STEVIE FIERCE vs A OFFICER & GENTLEMEN (Tradition Champion: Chuck Taylor & Dan Barry)

"A fantastic tag team encounter, but the elephant in the room of course is Chuck Taylor bringing the TRADITION Championship with him to this promotion. The Tradition title that belongs to the now defunct promotion that Rob Bennett ran from 2009 to early 2017. A mixed reaction to the title by the crowd.

Onto the match which despite some early comedic moments to begin got very competitive throughout the contest. Knicks and Taylor got into a very heated exchange that started with Taylor poke Knicks in the eye and then come off the ropes with a big boot to the face! Stevie came in to go at Taylor but Barry cut him off with a vicious knife edge chop that echoed throughout the building.

Dan then would drop Fierce or so he thought via an implant DDT! but as he celebrated the move with the crowd his opponent would recover and shove him to the mat which actually set up Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall! Taylor made the save dropping Stevie with a suoer kick to the side of the face. Knicks would however come up from behind and deliver a superkick of his own right to the back of the Head of Chuck knocking him seemingly out on his feet!

Knicks then hit his Purple Rain on Taylor who just barely escaped the three count! Dan Barry made the last second save only to get photo shopped by Stevie. Knicks then went to the top rope looked to deliver a big splash only to crash and burn on the canvas as Taylor moved out of the way and caught Fierce with Sole Food out of nowhere knocking him out of the ring!

The Tradition Champion went over to the downed Knicks to finish him off only to get hammered via a Wolf Fang Fist out of nowhere not only knocking Chuck Taylor out but down for the three count and victory!

After the match as Chuck was helped to the back by Dan Barry the crowd chanted Tradition sucks as the champion of that apparent defunct promotion as he disappeared threw the curtian to the back stage area where cameras and reporters followed."

CHARLIE HAAS vs. GREEN ANT

"A rematch from the SWEET SCIENCE 16 TOURNAMENT and these two once again did not disappoint as the match nearly went 25 minutes with both despite it not being a stipulation like the Tournament tried to make the other tap out despite both having some tremendous opportunities to get the three count victory on the other.

Both escaping the submissions both looked to continue but it broke down as their respected team members; Hoyt and Hayden and Fire and Solider Ant would brawl not only in the back but ring side and both teams would brawl within the crowd!

To the point that security and officials and other wrestlers had to get involved to separate them to end the show!"

QUALIFYING MATCHES

BATTLE OF OHIO
DAVE CRIST vs. MATT CROSS
"The crowd gives an extra loud welcome, as Cross has really promoted this companies throughout his travels, but it was Crist with two consecutive deep Japaneses arm drags that got him the early advantage. Into the ropes went Dave right into a back body drop which led to a picture perfect standing shooting star press!

Crist would roll out of the ring to stop his opponents momentum which would led into the two brawling on the outside! Dave would slam Cross right onto the first few chairs on the front row! then would then get back on the ring apron scream for the fans to mover out of the front row and connect with a second rope plancha over the guard rail onto Cross and the chairs!!!

Dave would get Matt into the ring and connect with his MONROE Finisher right in the center of the matt but Cross would escape the three count to the delight of the fans. However after two stiff spinning kicks to the head Cross could not and would not recover as Dave Crist would get the impressive victory to qualify for the tournament to the shock of many fans."

BATTLE OF ILLINOIS
MATT KNICKS vs. CRAIG MITCHELL
"The two trade side slaps and a combo punches in the center of the ring for several moments but when Mitchell tries a charging elbow but instead gets caught via the FALLING STAR Finisher of Matt Knicks it looked like the end for Mitchell BUT he was able to kick out right before the three count. However Mitchell could really never get on track despite instruction from Dan Severn at ringside. Matt would connect with a back elbow then and a knee to the chest and a knee to the face in consecutive moves!

Mitchell would again escape a pin attempt and look to get the advantage after attempting his atomic drop/ Back suplex combo but Knick would land on his feet and hit his Wolf Fang Fist as Mitchell turned around not only seemingly knocking him out but getting the three count to advance to face Dave Crist in the opening round of the Tournament."


BATTLE OF IOWA
FRED YEHI vs. ROB MATTER
"It should be noted that their was a confrontation between Craig Mitchell and Fred Yehi as Fred was making his way to come out for his match, officials were able to separate the two before anything major transpired but it did get physical. This gave the debuting Rob Matter the advantage early in the match.

Starting with a vicious chop turned into some fierce punches to the body a elbow strike right into his Matter Splatter! Two perfectly executed suplexes followed and Yehi retreated to the outside where he got the offensive advantage by slamming Matter on the concrete! He took Rob back in the ring and hit his Orange Yehi Plex for a NEAR fall!

However despite the kick out this led right into Fred's finisher the UZAMAKI SPECIAL. Give Matter a lot of credit as he reached the ropes for a break but Yehi would quickly deliver his Finisher again this time Matter would fall and Fred would advance!"

BATTLE OF MICHIGAN
EXCALIBUR vs. CHRIS SABIN
"The match up that the home crowd was waiting for since it was announced, a huge ovation for both men but especially Sabin who was making his Absolute Freedom debut.

Right after the bell sounded Sabin gets whipped right into the Turnbuckle and as he bounced forwsard the masked Exaculigur connected with a slingshot which was followed up quickly by a German suplex dropping Sabin right on the back of his head! Sabin would go into the ropes again but this time catch his masked opponent with a diving bulldog followed up with a German Suplex of his own!

HAIL SABIN Finisher connected BUT Excalibur would kick out before the three count and out of nowhere hit an Ace Crusher for a NEAR fall of his own. Another German suplex would connect but as Excalibur would attempt an elbow strike he would get caught in another HAIL SABIN Finisher that he could not kick out of as Chris would get the three count and now will face Fred Yehi in the opening round of the tournament.

The crowd gave both home town athletes a standing ovation to end the show"

SEMI-FINAL MATCHES

OHIO vs. ILLINOIS
DAVE CRIST - MATT KNICKS

"Running knee strike connects as the bell sounds to begin the match to give Crist the early advantage, however he goes for it again which ended poorly as he would instead get rocked by a wolf fang fist which led into Purple Rain right into Knicks FALLING STAR Finisher!

Dave was able to escape the pin right before the three count, blocked the German suplex and come off the ropes and hits his diving halo which set up his MONROE Finisher however only for a two count. Both men kicking out of the others finisher, Crist looked to continue on the offense, as he attempted his rolling surfboard submission ONLY for Matt Knicks to roll threw and connect with a superkick to the face and for the second time the wolf fang fist!

That was enough for Matt Knicks to get the three count and advance to the finals!"

IOWA vs. MICHIGAN
FRED YEHI - CHRIS SABIN
"The hometown state of Chris Sabin was roaring in approval as the Motor City native would take control of this match early via a diving bulldog and a picture perfect baseball slide, it looked to be a victory for Sabin after he hit his CRADLE SHOCK Finisher after a brawl on the outside. Yehi was able withstand it in a big way.

Yehi would begin to dominate thanks to a powerbomb followed by two consecutive blame bell's, Sabin rolls outside the ring to halt the momentum, Yehi would not be denied as he would deliver his Orange Yehi-Plex on the concrete!

Sabin would get tossed back in the ring and as Fred was making his way back in the ring he would get caught with a superkick to the face right into another CRADLE SHOCK Finisher BUT yet AGAIN Yehi would escape the pin and youi can see the frustration on Sabin who went to pick up his opponent only to get caught with Yehi Special Kick right into the KOJI CLUTCH Finisher!

After several moments of struggle Sabin would eventually tap to the shock of everyone, punching the ticket for Fred Yehi into the finals!"

FINALS
ILLINOIS vs. IOWA
MATT KNICKS - FRED YEHI
"A stare down in the ring between the two and a handshake to begin the contest, that went for nearly 25 minutes of back and fourth action. Knicks would get the offense in early on thanks to a stiff Tornado Kick which led to Purple Rain and a NEAR fall. Matt would not get flustered despite the kick out and get a leg trap submission onto Yehi.

However that would not last long as Fred would quickly transition out and apply a body scissors which Knicks would eventually get out of but get dropped right on his head by a German suplex for his troubles! This set up a power bomb right in the center of the ring by Yehi who then went to the top rope and dropped a vicious knee to the face!

Knicks rolled out of the ring and this is where Yehi made his fatal mistake as he looked for a flying knee strike coming off the ring apron to the floor instead he crashed and burned knee first into the steel guard rail!

Fred quickly grabbed his leg in pain and Matt Knick would take advantage as he tossed him back in the ring and quickly hit his FALLING STAR Finisher for the three count and victory!

Officials and EMT's quickly came out to check on the injured Iowa native and eventually where able to assist him to the back, Matt Knicks and the crowd gave Fred Yehi a standing ovation as the show ended"
