FRAY! starts with two competitors. Another combatant enters FRAY! every three minutes. Eliminations can take place anytime by pinfall, submission or DQ. There are no countouts. The last survivor is the winner. FRAY! isn't just a "preshow" or "dark" match for "green" talent. FRAY! is a true bonus match for Golden Ringside ticket holders with hungry athletes looking to steal the show with this star making opportunity.

Friday have some friends over, relax, drink a few beers, sit in the AC and watch a PPV unlike anything any pro wrestling company has ever put on national TV. Saturday hit the road for the last time this Summer and head to Chicago to check out AAW that night. Then it is DGUSA Chi-town debut time on Sunday. Use your off day on Monday to recover. Just look at that list of talent and matches that you can witness on Labor Day Weekend. This will be one weekend that you'll never forget.
