Fight Club TV
Episode #3
Episode #3
The camera pans the Fight Club Complex, which is more like a basement than an arena. A dumpster filled with some hardcore "toys" sits next to the gate that makes the entranceway. Only a few rows of fans surround the arena, giving it that "fight club" feel, and making tickets very hard to come by. Jay Hansen and Eric Kuss welcome everyone to the show. A shortened version of the video recap from the end of FCVX #2 is shown.
Singles Match | Zero-G Division Championship
Jimmy Rave w/Prince Nana Open Challenge
In likely the biggest shocker in the short history of Fight Club aside from Jericho's debut, the open challenge was accepted by none other than Austin Aries! Aries quickly took control of the match and was dominating Jimmy Rave. However, before he could amount to any major offense, Prince Nana began signalling to the back until Erick Stevens and Brent Albright ran to the ring and started pummeling Aries. They finally leave him lying after hitting him with a double high-angle spinebuster. The match will apparently be called a No Contest, as Rave, Albright, Stevens, and Nana leave after a short celebration.
Winner: No Contest (7:02)

Six-Man Elimination Tag Team Match
Jericho, Claudio Castagnoli, & Chris Hero vs. Rob Van Dam, Sabu, & Saturn
This was the longest match in Fight Club history, and actually took the remainder of the show. Hero seemed a bit reluctant to be teaming with Jericho and Claudio, not happy with the way they helped him win last week at the start of the match, but when he realized that RVD, Sabu, and Saturn weren't going easy on him for it, he quickly got used to it. Claudio Castagnoli was the first man eliminated, after being hit with an Exploder suplex. Not long after, Saturn himself was eliminated after the Hero's Welcome. After a few more minutes of battling it out, and with the referee distracted, Chris Hero blasted Sabu in the face with his championship belt, and then pinned him for the elimination. In another surprise, RVD eliminated Chris Hero after a Van Daminator and the Five Star Frog Splash. RVD and Jericho battled it out until the final moments of the show, when Jericho had RVD locked in the Lion Tamer. Van Dam was about to reach the ropes, but Chris Hero, sitting at the base of the ring, reached up and pulled them away from him, seeing what was going on behind him in the video screen near the entranceway. Van Dam was forced to tap out, and Jericho scored the victory for his team.
Winners: Jericho, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli (26:33)
After the match, the victors celebrated near the entranceway with RVD, Sabu, and Saturn looking on from around the ringside area. Jay and Eric thank every one for watching, and remind everyone to watch FCVX!

Fight Club Video Xtra
Paul Heyman is in the ring as we start the show with a microphone.
Paul: "Well, it has come to my attention that we have a pay-per-view coming up in a few weeks, and only one match has been announced - Jericho vs. Saturn in a grudge match. Now, that match is going to be great, but it's not enough to fill a two hour block, so I am here now to announce the matches we have planned currently. First, in a grudge match after what took place on Tuesday's edition of Fight Club TV, Prince Nana's Embassy of Jimmy Rave, Brent Albright, and Erick Stevens will be taking on Austin Aries and... The Briscoe Boys! Additionally, the Fight Club Tag Team Champions will be decided when Doing It For Her, The No Remorse Corps, and the team making their live Fight Club debut, Panic! In Detroit! Last, but certainly not least, we have another first for Fight Club... A "Fans Choose the Opponent Match!" Japanese superstar KENTA will be making a special appearance, and we want YOU, the fans to decide who his opponent will be. Not only will this opponent be making their Fight Club debut, but they will also be receiving a one year contract based on YOUR decision to bring them in. The options are... Jay Lethal, Josh Abercrombie, Nigel McGuinness, and "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson! A poll will be up soon for you, the fans, to decide. Now, you may have noticed that so far, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Claudio Castagnoli, and Chris Hero are not on the card. Well, the reason for that is because this Tuesday night, they will be facing off in a... Dumpster match! Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. The Kings of Wrestling, and if RVD and Sabu win, they will both be facing Hero in a triple threat match for the title. If the Kings win, they will be added to the Tag Team championship match, and Van Dam and Sabu will be out in the cold. Now, let's get on with the show!"

Jay Hansen and Eric Kuss are at ringside to close out this action-packed edition of FCVX.
Jay: "Well, Eric, that was a pretty wild episode, but now, it's time to look forward to next week."
Eric: "Oh, definitely, as Paul Heyman announced earlier, we will be seeing that huge Dumpster Match between the Kings of Wrestling and Rob Van Dam & Sabu."
Jay: "Yeah, and that one has HUGE implications for the pay-per-view next week."
Eric: "Well, we'll have the final preparations for the pay-per-view next week. We'll see you Tuesday night for another episode of Fight Club TV."
