SANATORIUM | SEPTEMBER 13, 2020

PRESHOW: SKYLIGHT VERSUS LYNN

The referee does the pre-match check on Sarah Lynn. Then they walk over to Gothica. Gothica has her 2x4 at the ready. Then the referee motions for her to put outside the ring. She begrudgingly does so. Then the referee checks for her any other foreign objects and gives the nod that she is good to go.

Then they signal for the bell. Then they lock up via a collar and elbow and see who will gain the advantage. Then Gothica backs Sarah into a corner as the referee tries to see if a clean break will occur. It appears she does but once the referee has backed away, Gothica bitch slaps Sarah square on the jaw. Sarah reels a bit before she gets a look of anger across her face. Then as Gothica starts to taunt her, Sarah suddenly charges at Gothica and nails her with a Running Crossbody Block. She lays on top of her as the referee goes down for the count…


ONE!


Gothica immediately kicks out and then rolls away as Sarah tries to keep up the pressure, Gothica grabs a hold of her ankle and picks it. She attempts to lock in an Ankle Lock but can’t quite get the grip she needs. Then Sarah spins a bit which causes Gothica to be flung a bit. Then Sarah waits for Gothica to get back and then as Gothica tries to attack, she gets a kick to the chest which causes Gothica to double over. Then Sarah signals for the end and quickly does her finisher, a Twist of Fate.

Then she covers Gothica by hooking her near leg as the referee makes the count…


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


Then the bell sounds as Trip The Darkness plays and Sarah’s hand is raised in victory. Then Sarah leaves the ring with a smile on her face. Then Gothica is helped to the back by some orderlies.

WINNER: SARAH LYNN

PRESHOW: LOBOS DE LA MUERTE VERSUS SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS

The referee does the pre-match check on The Spooky Scary Skeletons and Lobos de La Muerte. Then the referee signals for the bell. As soon as the bell sounds, chaos ensues and Mike Lavicle and Dark Wolf go at it as at the same time Hugh Merus and Rey Lobo go at it as well. Then after a few moments of this, Rey Lobo and Mike Lavicle are now the two members of each team that are officially in the ring.

Then they start to circle one another before Mike Lavicle hits Rey Lobo with a vicious looking Elbow Smash as Rey was trying to come in for a strike of some kind. Then Mike starts to taunt Rey Lobo by doing some kind of dance. Then as Rey tries to come in for another strike, Mike hits him with one of his signatures, a Dropsault. Then once Rey Lobo hits the mat, Mike rolls to tag in Hugh Merus. Then Hugh just looks at Rey Lobo as Rey tries to stand up, Hugh just blasts him with his own signature strike, a Bicycle Kick. This causes Rey Lobo to fall onto the mat once more. Dark Wolf tries to get his brother to give him a tag but then is met with Necrosis scaring him away by screaming towards him.

Then Hugh picks up Rey and brings him over to their corner as he sets up Rey for their finisher, the Compression Fracture. Then Hugh lifts him up into the Package Piledriver position as Mike comes crashing onto Rey with a Flying Double Stomp. Then Hugh rolls Rey into a pin as the referee makes the count…


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


Then the referee raises their hands in victory as Necrosis slithers her way into the ring and scares the referee away as she raises their hands in victory. Then the referee and Dark Wolf help Rey Lobo to the back as The Spooky Scary Skeletons dance for a moment before heading to the back.

WINNERS: THE SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS

---

The scene comes up in the front yard of the Sanatorium and we see Paige Matthews arriving on the scene wearing a nice white blouse shirt, black leggings, black heel boots, white shades, and her purse on her shoulder. We hear the inmates yelling out loud and she breathes in silently. She wasn’t sure why she decided to come back to this place knowing the history she had here. She takes off her shades and starts thinking.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Why did I agree to this? This place? This place holds many dark secrets of my past -- yet, here I am once again. I'm most definitely out of my mind right now.

Then as she is pondering this, Stephen Quinn can be seen walking up in a nice trench coat, black slacks, and a white dress shirt with a nice vest, and on his feet is a pair of Doc Martens.

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Miss Matthews, pleasure seeing you. You like you’ve seen a ghost. What’s wrong?

She looks at him but still has the shivers going up and down her spine. This place still scares her to this day.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
This place? It still haunts me to this day. I remember everything about this place and it’s like Deja vu. Those dreams of this place still give me the creeps.

He looks at her and chuckles a bit.

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Seriously? This palace is tame compared to what I did when I was a soldier and a police officer. At first, I took this gig as a kindness to Tommy but after a while, I started to like the aesthetic of the Sanatorium. Plus, I get to legally hurt and help “people” at the same time. Now with Eden in charge, this place will be better but I fear for some if they interact with that Doctor Sly guy for too long.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
I know that feeling of being a soldier, Quinn. Let’s just say, I still have dreams about that also.

She looks at him in her brown eyes. She goes into her purse and grabs a rubber band and ties her hair loosely in a ponytail.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
I think that is one of the many reasons why I was sent here in the first place. Seeing my Fiancee getting killed right in front of me during the war -- yeah, not good. To this day, I still blame myself for his death. I had a bullet with my name on it and he was the one that was shot and killed.

He looks at her and nods.

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
I understand all too well in losing loved ones in war. I had a brother who fought alongside me, he didn’t make it out of the third tour we did together. Then I had a lot of my brothers in battle die in front of me as well. I even lost a partner when I was a police officer. I still also have dreams/nightmares about them. But I’ve learned to persevere through those and become the man you still before today. But those are stories for another day.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
You’re right. Anyways, tell me about this Doctor Sly and why do you fear the patients that see him?

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
From what his file says he was a surgeon or something in Oregon and whatnot. Also, I just get these weird and almost “serial killer-like” vibes anytime I walk near that Infirmary. Plus, he smells a good bit like corpses and I think something else. But I can’t place my finger on it.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Do you think he belongs with the rest of the inmates? Quinn, I got a job for you, alright. I want you to get more information on this Sly guy, alright? If he’s hurting the patients then you report to me. But before you do that, do you have any proof that he was for sure making the patients you know, more fearful?

He looks around for a moment.

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
I do have something. But it’s in my office. I can show the files.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Alright, is there anything I should know about this job and how I can help the patients?

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Also to answer your first question, yes he deserves to be locked up. But not like a regular inmate, he should be shoved into that “Red Door” we have. I can give you access to the files of the inmates you like. But be careful, some of the “inmates” may or may not want help to fix themselves. Plus, some of them were going to be placed in the traditional prison system but they were sent here instead.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
That can work. I want some of the files on my desk before the end of the show. I want to know what I’m dealing with. Oh, before I forget, who is this Elijah Copeland guy? He seems more normal than most of the patients here? Why is he here?

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Copeland? I can give you his file if you like. Anyone else’s file you want or think you will want?

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
I want Hunters file, Edwards, and for sure Sly. As for Copeland, give me a rundown on him, Quinn. What can I expect from him?

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
I think I can do that for you. So you want Belladonna Hunter, Jonathan Edwards, and Sly’s files. Though Sly’s file may be a bit light. I was given so much from Eden. Copeland is a rich cocky kid. I think he will try to cheat to win whenever he can plus if things don’t go his way, he will try to physically beat up his opponent’s if needed. Other than that, I am not sure what to expect from most of the inmates here.

She slaps his arm like a friend and smiles at him.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Thanks big guy. I want those files on my desk ASAP, alright?

He looks at her like it’s a sure thing.

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Sure thing, Miss Matthews. Though, I would be careful who you try to help as well. Oh also, I heard Chris Matthews may be visiting the Sanatorium tonight as well.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Chris? Are you sure, Quinn? Alright, thanks for letting me know. Well, I guess we should get inside, shouldn’t we?

HEAD OF SECURITY | STEPHEN QUINN
Yes, something about being on commentary I think. No problem, Miss Matthews. We should. Also, if you ever feel you need some extra security, just ask.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
If you say Sly is as bad as he is, I want you to keep him away from me and my patient. I’m here to make them better -- not torture them. Remember, If he even comes near me, my office, or my patients then I want you to put him down and put him inside the red door for a while.

He smiles.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
You have my word as a soldier/police officer/head of security that he will be put down if he does anything to you, any other staff, or any of the patients/inmates. I will even let you throw away the key.

SANATORIUM DOCTOR | PAIGE MATTHEWS
Thanks.

They head into the Sanatorium as the door closes, and the scene with it.

Elijah Copeland shouts and the logo explodes!

The inmates are packed in their seats watching the ring. The orderlies are seen guarding the door. We see both Hel and Gia sitting at the table. They are wearing nice attire with a small tv hooked up. They have papers in front of them as the camera is looking at them and Gia starts off.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Hello lovely Sanatorium fans, and welcome to an evening of excitement where some will advance in the Shogun Tournament and some will fall behind, culminating in my favorite thing on the planet-- BLOODSHED!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That's right, Gia, tonight's main event is an Ancient Way Death Match for the Underground Championship--



She is interrupted by "Breaking Through" by The Wreckage coming over the PA-- which brings a squeal of delight.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
But first! Elijah Copeland, my future husband, is gracing us with his presence!

Elijah Copeland comes out wearing a black sleeveless shirt with “Copeland Era” written in gold, jeans, black dress shoes, and a black armband with “EC” written in gold. His hair is wet and drenched back. His song continues to play as he walks down the steps passing by the inmates grunting from the medicine that they were given. He finally makes his way down the steps and passes by the Plexiglass that keeps the patients from entering the combat zone. He walks towards the announcers’ table and grabs the mic that seems to be in between Hel’s arms. He reaches it but she grabs his arm.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Hey, can you let go of my arm, Hel? I need to cut this promo in the ring.

Eventually, she lets go as her eyes stares at him. He moves back and enters the ring as his music fades. He stands in the middle of the ring as he was eventually cut off by Hel again.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
ZOMG I touched him. Eee!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
God, this new you disgusts me. Stop fangirling! No! Bad! Boss Bitch Hel Modani is an independent woman!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
... Gia, you just don't understand love.

There's a slight jostling as Hel puts her headset down, picking up a microphone of her own, making her way up the ring steps to the apron.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Elijah! Surely you're better company right now than my broadcast colleague. I've got a question to ask, darling.

Elijah lowers his head and just shakes it slowly. He just wants to wrestle and give a few words about tonight. He lifts his head slowly and looks at her. He puts the mic up to his mouth and speaks to her.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
What would that question be, Hel? But please, make it quick -- okay. I have to get talking about my match later tonight.

He lowers the mic as he looks at her as she enters the ring through the second and first rope. He isn’t sure what to think, but clearly, Hel has something on her mind right now. She stops right in front of him, her body language coy.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Well, I know you must've noticed the comments I've made on your recent matches...

He nods as he notices some of the comments that she made during his matches.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
So I just wanted to know, after you win your match-- as you'll surely do!-- and get your leave from Sanatorium, what do you think about taking a girl out to dinner, hm?

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Tell you what, when I do win -- fine. I mean, there is nothing wrong with friends going out to dinner after a show. I mean, look at me -- I’m everything and more.

He gets a slight smirk as he laughs because of what he said about himself.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
But remember, ONLY as friends. Is that a deal, Hel? Because as you know, I have someone special in my life finally and I ain’t gonna be one of those guys who isn’t faithful.

For a moment, Hel pouts. Then she seemingly has An Idea, by the way, her face lights up, and she begins to nod.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
As friends. If that's what you say, then that's what it'll be!

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Thanks, Hel. Now is there anything else that you want to tell me -- or can I get back to what I want to say?

He lowers his mic as his eyes look upon Hel. When it comes to this business and trying to be the best, he can’t worry about relationships with another co-worker as it never works.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Nothing more than to wish you luck tonight in your match. Ladies and gentlemen, Elijah Copeland!

And with that introduction, the petite commentator slips her way back through the ring ropes to rejoin Gia at the commentary table.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Really? Are you satisfied now? God!

Elijah looks at the two and gets back to what he is was saying.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Now, back to the task at hand. Tonight, I got up against Abby Evans and Abby -- you’ve been pretty much silent this entire time. Why? Are you afraid of me? Let’s get one thing straight, Abby. You’re no match for me, and you know it. You know deep down that you’re a failure.

The people who you hang out with aren’t even better. I could sit here all night and talk about how I’m going to hurt you -- but I’m sure tonight you’ll see that first hand.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
We all will!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
God, you are such a suckup.

Elijah gets a smirk on his face as he doesn’t take his eyes off the camera that is upon him.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Look at me, and look at you. I’m richer, prettier, and more talented then you shall ever be. This place? I can buy this place and make it somewhat better. I have more money in my couch then the whole lot of you. But you know something, Abby? Tonight -- you’re going Zip and two. As for me? I’m going Two and Zip. This tournament? This tournament is good as mine.

He slowly moves to the rope and puts his hand on it gently. Elijah was lucky enough that it was sanitized before touching it.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
Abby, if you think this is the beginning a fairy tale for you -- well, I got news for you, fairy tales aren’t real. You will never ever beat me. If I was a betting man, I would bet on the man who how the talent and that is me. Tonight, this is the beginning of the end for you and that isn’t a rule, Abby. That’s the GOLDEN RULE!

He drops the mic as Breaking through hits the PA. He stands on the side of the ring edge where the commentators are at and smiles. He lifts his arm up and shouts out BOOM loudly. He then drops down and walks towards the plexiglass and begins to walk up the steps leaving Hel and Gia alone. That is when the music fades after Elijah exits behind the doors.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, she hails from LAS VEGAS, NEVADA! She is LADY HUNTRESS – BELLADONNA HUNTER!

The song "Freak of Nature" by Sinisstar starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer starts to sing, the lady who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter starts to come out. She walks on down to the ring ignoring the fans. Belladonna starts trash talking to the fans. When she gets to the ring, she climbs the steel steps and enters the ring. She goes to her corner leaving herself in the ring.



As "Smells Like A Freak Show" by Avatar begins to play, spotlights start turning on throughout the arena. Then as the song reaches a crescendo, all the lights in the arena go out. But the song continues playing while this going on. But then a voice can be heard through the darkness saying.

MYSTERIOUS VOICE
Who's ready for some fun?

Then the lights kick back on and sitting in the middle of the ring cross-legged is the one and only "The Soulless Jester" Chucky Ross and he's holding The Jester's Stick. Then the announcer attempts to do the introduction, he stands up and snatches the microphone away from them.

THE SOULLESS JESTER | CHUCKY ROSS
Allow me to do that...

I am "The Soulless Jester" Chucky Ross and I weigh in tonight at a glorious 175 lbs and hail from The Order Compound. Tonight, we are going to see me drop both Winters and Edwards with The Jokes on You. So please stay tuned for that and now back to your regularly scheduled talking.

Then he shoves the microphone into the announcer's chest and then goes sits in one of the corners like Raven and waiting for Edwards and Winters.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And their opponent, she hails from LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA! She is CHRISTY WINTERS!

"Make Them Suffer" plays Christy makes her way to the ring, attempting to attack anyone who attempts to touch her, she slides under the ropes and sits in the corner.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And her tag team partner, he hails from LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! weighing in at TWO HUNDRED NINE POUNDS, he is JONATHAN EDWARDS!

The drums begin to play over the speakers inside of the asylum. It continues for a good 34 seconds. The camera looks at the steps and the song that's playing is "I Don't Care Anymore" by HellYeah. The door opens and Edwards is seen entering the fight zone.

♪ Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore ♪

Edwards then shuts the door as he didn't need the help of the orderlies. He is seen wearing a black vest, black tights w/ Edwards on his right leg, and Elites on his left leg, black wrestling boots, and black knee pads. He walks down the aisle of this place and wants to show what he can do. He enters the ringside and takes off his vest. He throws it to the ground and walks up the steel steps. He walks along the ringside and finally enters. He looks around and waits for his opponent as his theme song fades.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
All four are in the ring right now. This is sure to be a great matchup for all four of them. Christy Winters and Edwards take on Belladonna Hunter and Chucky Ross in tag team action.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
LET'S GET IT ON!



Before the bell can ding, the song “Judas” by Fozzy hits the P.A system. The door opens as we see Chris Matthews and Pandora entering the arena. The superstars look up at them and shake their heads. Chris is wearing a black t-shirt, loose-fitting jeans, and black sneakers. Pandora, on the other hand, is wearing one of Chris Matthews's shirts, black tights, and black heel boots on her feet. They both walk down the steps and enters the ring area. They walk towards the announcers' table. They are given a couple of nice chairs to sit on.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
What are you guys doing here?

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
Figured we come and watch these guys wrestle. Let's say, we want to scout future talents for Dystopia.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Really? Cause it seems like it's odd to see Chris after he cost Hunter the match against Rabbit.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
Hey, I'm not here to talk about the past. Even if in the past, I want to grab Hunter by her throat and rip out her jugular.

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
Calm down, babe. Remember, we're only here to scout.

The ref tells everyone to focus on the match. Christy starts this thing, as does Belladonna. Both Ross and Edwards get out of the ring as the ref signals for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

Winters and Hunter start to circle each other and eventually lock up. Winters was able to put Hunter in a headlock and she wrenches on it. Hunter was able to bring Winter to the ropes and pushes her. Winter comes back and knocks down Hunter with a shoulder thrust. Winter picks her up and grabs her by the hair and brings her to the corner and of Edwards and tags him in. He enters the ring as Winter holds onto Bella and that is when Edwards kicks her in the gut. He grabs her arm and whips her to the other side hard -- but that is enough time for Ross to tag himself in. Edwards and Ross look at each other with disgust.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
This is the fight I want to see. Ross versus Edwards. I know Ross, but never really got the chance to face him. But Edwards, he used to be my old boss in Platinum Acts Inc.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Heard of them, but never really understood what they stood for.

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
Why don't you focus on the match instead of talking about Chris and his old group?

Ross and Edwards move in and lock up. Edwards was able to hit him in the gut with a knee. He grabs Ross by the head and brings him into the corner and begins to hit a series of back elbow strikes to the face. Ross was taking the shots but is able to block it. He grabs his arm and bites it. Edwards starts to scream as he starts to hit Ross repeatedly in the head. Ross releases the bite as Edwards moves back and holds his arm. Ross then kicks him in the gut and hits a headbutt into his head. He brings him into the middle of the ring and drops him with a complete shot and covers quickly.


ONE!


TWO!


KICKOUT!


PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Never seen Ross bite someone before.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I just hope he doesn’t have rabies.

Ross grabs Edwards and brings him over to the side where Bella is in and tags her in. The two start to kick him in the gut a few times until Ross gets out. Belladonna picks him up and hits a neck breaker and covers.


ONE!


TWO!


KICKOUT!


THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
I’ll admit that Belladonna is showing improvement – but she still has to do more work.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
Tried telling her that a few times and she completely ignores me.

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
I think she needs to learn to listen more.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
You would think that – but she doesn’t. It’s like, she doesn’t even want to better herself.

Belladonna picks up Edwards but he is able to lay a stiff shot into her gut. He stands up and grabs her hair roughly and brings her to his corner and tags in Christy Winters. She enters and they double-team her with a double suplex. She covers quickly but is quickly pulled back by Ross. The men get out of the ring quickly. Christy picks her up and throws her out of the ring forcing her to land on the mat. Winters gets out of the ring next to the announcers' table. Winters kicks Hunter in the gut and brings her to the plexiglass that surrounds the ring area. She whips her but Hunter quickly reverses it and Winters went right into glass hard. Hunters get a smile on her face. She turns towards the announcer's tables and looks at both Chris and Pandora.

LADY HUNTRESS | BELLADONNA HUNTER
You? You screwed me out of the win that deserves. You two will see how pissed you made me.

Chris and Pandora look at Hunter and are not even moving.

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
I thought she was going to stop talking shit?

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
Don’t pay attention to someone like her. She’s mentally ill.

Winters slowly gets up and charges after Hunter with a chop block to the back of her leg. Hunter goes down in pain.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
You should’ve paid attention to Christy instead of us, Hunter.

Christy picks up Hunter and brings her into the ring. She enters and drags her to the corner and rests her there. She runs to the ropes as Jonathan tags himself in – but Christy continues to run and hits a dropkick to her face. Edwards enters and charges forward with a running knee attack on her face. Edwards drags her out and covers her.


ONE!


TWO!


THRE – BOOT TO THE FACE OF EDWARDS!


The ref stops the count as Ross was able to save the final count. Ross gets to the corner stomping his feet. He holds his hand out. Hunter is slowly crawling towards Ross and that is when Winters holds her hand. Both fighters are slowly crawling as Ross screams out. Edwards tags in Winters as Hunters tags in Ross. They both enter the ring as Winters charges and is knocked down. She gets up and gets knocked down again. She moves to the corner as Ross comes charging in and hits a huge stinger splash. Edwards is seen rushing in but is kicked quickly and sent into Winters. Ross goes to the other side and rushes in once again and is both hit with another Stinger splash. Edwards falls to the ground and rolls out of the ring. Winters is down as Ross signals for the end of this match. Ross climbs the second rope and shakes his head. He climbs the top rope and tells Winters to get up. She does but for some reason, Hunter tags herself in and says she wants to finish this. Edwards is seen climbing the side and runs towards Hunter and drops her with a running dropkick that hits Ross and forces him to hit the outside hard. Edwards grabs Hunter and throws her in the ring. He gets to the side and holds his hand out. Winters grabs Hunter and tags in Edwards. She goes behind Hunters and locks in a dragon sleeper and puts in body scissors which she likes to call LECTER’S LULLABY! The ref is starting to count which then forces Winters to let go.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Seems like Hunter is out of this.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Edwards should just finisher her off.

THE SCREAM QUEEN | PANDORA BARRETT
Chris, you should go check on her. Maybe slap her around for a bit.

LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
Tempting – but no.

Edwards picks up a lifeless Hunter and brings her to the middle of the ring. Edwards kicks her in the gut and bends her over. He grabs her by the head and lifts it a bit.

JONATHAN EDWARDS
Told you I would welcome you, and now I will.

He puts her between his legs and hooks a double arm. He looks around and lifts her and drops her down with a snapping double-arm piledriver that he likes to call the GUILLOTINE DROP! He covers Hunter and hooks the leg.


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


DING! DING! DING!

WINNERS: JONATHAN EDWARDS AND CHRISTY WINTERS

Edwards stands up as Christy comes in the ring. Edwards looks down at Hunter and their hands are raised in the air. That was when "Big Bad Wolf" by Bali Baby hits the P.A system.



THE WARDEN | EDEN DUBOIS
I think that's about enough fun, Chris and Pandora. You clearly came to the Sanatorium tonight just to torment Belladonna. Chris, you have no place here anymore, and as a result-- I'm banning you from the Sanatorium!

They look at each other as they stand up and get out of the ring area. We see Ross on the ground still and figuring out what went wrong.

---

The show comes back from commercial break as "No One Will Survive" by CFO$ plays throughout the arena. Tora Nishida walks out with Rey Lobo and Dark Wolf, each man wearing a suit as they make their way down to the ring. The two brothers walk up the steel steps and hold the ropes open for Tora. He thanks them both as he enters the ring first before the two of them join him. One of the ring crew hands Nishida a mic as he looks around the ring.

THE RAIJU OF SANATORIUM | TORA NISHIDA
Ladies and gentlemen, standing in this ring with me are two men that feel the same way as i do about the Demolition Title and the state of this brand. Two men that are willing to help me rebuild the Sanatorium brand from the ground up. Two men that I consider brothers, these two men are Rey Lobo and Dark Wolf. But you can call them Lobos de la Muerte.

Unlike Edwards and Ross, I'm helping this brand to become better. Thanks to me bringing these guys in, Sanatorium actually looks like it has a bit of a tag division. I don't see Edwards doing anything to help with the shortage of tag teams here, nor do I see that stupid clown doing the same either. You want to know why? Because neither of them give a crap about the tag division or this brand, but i do.

Lobo walks forward and asks Tora for the mic, which the Japanese wrestler gives him. He then turns his attention to the fans that were behind the plexiglass.

PRINCE OF LUCHA LIBRE | REY LOBO
When our friend told us that sanatorium was lacking in tag teams, we thought he was joking. We were shocked when we first arrived here and saw only two...TWO tag teams while Dystopia has five or six tag teams. We knew that we made the right choice to come here to not only help our friend, but also help sanatorium's tag team division.

Me and my brother have also heard that two certain mud wrestlers demand Tora to face either one of them for the belt. Yet instead of earning a title shot, they instead decide to attack him like a bunch of cowards, thinking that if they attack him enough he'll give them what they want to get rid of them. Well sorry boys, that's not gonna happen. Now that we're here, your gonna have to earn your way for a shot at the title like real wrestlers.

Lobo gives the mic back to Tora as he moves back to stand beside his brother. Who was completely silent throughout the whole thing. The camera switches from Lobo to Tora.

THE RAIJU OF SANATORIUM | TORA NISHIDA
When my eyes were finally opened after months of nearly losing my insanity, i knew that i was destined to change things around here. That i was destined to rebuild this brand and make it into something better. That i was destined to cleanse the Asylum, Underground, and Demolition titles to bring forth new and prestigious championships. Now that i have these two by my side and the demolition title, that will be gone by the end of the shogun tournament, no one is going to stop us. You can try as you might, but you can't stop the inevitable.

We are destined to rebuild sanatorium, we are destined to capture all the gold and cleanse them to bring forth worthy titles fit for real professional wrestlers, we are destined to change the wrestling world, because we are....

Nishida hands the mic to Dark Wolf, who takes it as he walks right up to the ropes and camera as it zooms in on him.

DOCTOR DEATH | DARK WOLF
DESTIIIINOOOO!!!!

Wolf drops the mic as Tora and Lobo smile. "STARDUST" by KAZSIN plays throughout the PA system instead of Tora Nishida's theme. The three men pose in the middle of the ring with smiles on their faces as the show cuts to commercial break.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS FOR ONE FALL!



The lights go out as Owen's theme plays throughout the arena, after a few moments, the lights come back on and at the top of the ramp, Owen stands there, bows and starts to dance down the ramp and to the ring.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, he weighs in at one hundred ten pounds and hails from Parts Unknown... OWEN SWIFT!

He walks up the steps and gets into the ring, he bows in the center of it and waits for the match to start. As "Paint It, Black" fades, another song replaces it.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent...

A hood-shrouded figure walks out, head bowed.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Quite a difference cut between these two visually. Owen Swift all color and glee-- albeit deranged. Outsider's just a black hole of a man, not answering many of the questions we had about this mystery opponent deal.

Zane takes a breath to continue the introduction as Outsider approaches the ringside when Outsider's hooded robe is cast aside in a swirl of fabric and-- before us stands another Owen Swift!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
OR NOT!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
This doppelganging bitch! Are you seeing this!? This must be the person who was-- was the other-me out here last episode! AAAAH!

And for once, it's not just Gia's histrionic leanings causing her to yell confusedly; most people are gasping. Even if there's something not quite right about the resemblance of this not-Swift, it's close enough to disorient.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
How're they doing that? Is it facial prosthetics?

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
I don't know, but I could swear other-me wasn't six foot three last time. I'm sure the skeptics will say they could've been slouching and now they're wearing boot-lifts, but I'm more than a little convinced somebody must've opened a portal to the Twilight Zone behind Sanatorium's Red Door!

Outsider-Swift climbs the ring stairs, stepping into the ring, as Owen Swift just gawks. Once in the middle of the ring, he cuts a little jig, ending it with a spin on his toes and hands extended in flair.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Once these two start fighting, how are we going to know which one is which?! How will the referee?!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
I'm beginning to wonder if that isn't part of the point of these theatrics? Either way, I don't envy Owen Swift his debut match here on Sanatorium.

The referee trepidatiously steps forward and signals the bell rung. Owen Swift, despite his odd circumstances and to his credit, surges forward to seize the fiend with his face. Punches are thrown, and after a brief moment returned as well.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
If that's a prosthetic, it's sure holding up well to this assault from the real Owen Swift! Give 'im one for me too, Owen!

Outsider-Swift is backed into the ropes and the visual is dizzying as he's whipped off. Dropdown, leapfrog, and Outsider rebounds and returns into an armdrag. Owen goes down with him, cinching in an armbar, and Outsider scrambles towards the ropes, which aren't far off. The referee counts and Owen finally releases, Outsider clinging to the bottom rope warily... then breaks into a cackling laugh. Both make their feet, lock up again, and end up a warring ball of red jackets in the corner. Outsider gets the advantage, though you'd have to be practically psychic to know at this point, and starts laying in punches and kicks-- he's pushed off and catches his footing as he's charged, catching the oncoming Owen and suplexing him over.


ONE!


TWO!


Kickout!

Outsider presses the advantage, grabbing an arm as Owen gets to his feet, and a dizzying chain wrestling clinic is kicked off... which turns the whole situation into the cup game, essentially.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Carl Jung would have a field day with this.

One of them finally armdrags free, snaps off a second armdrag, there's a hard boot to the gut-- stump piledriver! Cover-- feet on the ropes, but it's not seen!


ONE!


TWO!


THREE?


The referee's hand comes down a third time, despite the hesitation in it upon realizing... he doesn't know whose pin he's actually counting. He sits up and shrugs as the bell is rung.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
... I think that was Outsider?

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
How can you tell?

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Sheer Spidey-Senses.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
If the referee is less clear, what goes on the official record?

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
A stain.

The winning Swift rolls out of the ring, laughing hysterically, as the other rolls over slowly with a headache.

WINNER: OUTSIDER...?

The camera shows Sarah Lynn in her cell.

SARAH LYNN
Earlier tonight I competed on the preshow and regardless of how the match went I’ve already learned a lesson nobody higher up cares about those who compete early on. They want to focus on the names competing later on the main show. For that reason they refuse to tell me if any of my family, friends and even trainers have tried to contact me. However I want everyone to know that I mean everything that I say. I’m going to continue to work hard, I’m going to make everybody I know proud of me and eventually people here will take notice of me. One day I will have the freedom and attention that I deserve.

The camera fades.





RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following match is part of the Shogun Tournament, and is for one fall!

"Spit It Out" by Slipknot plays over the sounds system as he comes out wearing a blue and black of mask across his nose and mouth from his coat, ignoring the fans as he turns his head to the cameras.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Weighing in at two hundred five pounds, representing the nation of Malta, he is THE INSANITY, AARON JONES!

He slides into the ring, before going on the turnbuckle and does a pose and people boo for him as he gets down from the turnbuckle, taking his coat off to drop it down to the floor and then sits behind a turnbuckle corner, waiting for his opponent to come out through the curtain.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent...



The bass kicks in through the PA and 'Ashes to Ashes' starts to echo around the arena. A small fog starting to slip from the stage, and as the music builds a melancholy atmosphere, from the back stalks 'The Phoenix' Travis Levitt. Dressed in his usual long leather jacket, hair cascading around his face as he walks out, and starts to pace down the ramp.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
He weighs in at two hundred fifty pounds, representing Australia, THE PHOENIX, TRAVIS LEVITT!

The Phoenix reaches the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope and propping up onto his knees. Glancing around at the crowd, Levitt's face is one of focus as he slowly rises to his feet before stripping off his jacket, and turning to drop it outside the ring to the roadie, before he gets ready for battle.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Aaron Jones is giving up a big weight advantage to Travis Levitt here. But Levitt only has one match here so far, a losing effort to Levi Tsingine. Who knows how this might go.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That's right, G. A win would put Levitt back in the tournament this early on, but for Aaron it would put him halfway to the finals!

The referee does the pre-match check on Aaron Jones and Travis Levitt. Then the referee signals for the bell as Aaron and Travis circle each other before going into a collar and elbow tie up. Then after a few moments, Aaron grabs Travis’s arm in a hammerlock before causing Travis to go to the mat with an Armbar.

Then after a few moments of Aaron locking in the Armbar, Travis manages to spin out with his own Hammerlock before hitting Aaron with a series of European Uppercuts. Then after about the fifth uppercut, Travis launches Aaron into the corner. Then he looks around before leaping towards Aaron with a Corner Splash. But at the last possible second, Aaron manages to get out of the way by falling down to a seated position and rolling away. Then Aaron charges at Travis, who is stunned in the corner, and hits him with a Leaping Corner Enzuigiri.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Aaron gaining an advantage here, can he keep it?

Then Travis falls to a seated position of sort in the corner. As Aaron is about to grab Travis, Travis suddenly wakes up and nails with a series of Forearm Smashes. Then after about the fifth or sixth Forearm Smash, he nails Aaron with a Spinning Back Fist. This causes Aaron to be momentarily stunned before Travis devilishly smiles and proceeds to perform one of his signatures, the Phoenix Tear (Discus Clothesline.) Then as Arron falls to the mat, Travis covers him. The referee jumps to make the count…


ONE!


TWO!


Then Aaron kicks out not long after the referee’s hand made the two count. Then like a bolt of lightning, Aaron gets up and starts wailing on Travis with a series of Punches and Kicks. Travis tries his best to cover up. The referee informs Aaron to not use closed fists. Then Aaron whips Travis into the ropes and upon his return to him, Aaron catches him with a Frankensteiner and rolls Travis into a Rana-style pin. Then the referee makes the count…


ONE!


TWO!


Then Travis manages to kick out at two as well. Then Aaron looks aghast that should have put down his opposition. Then Travis gets up and looks at Aaron “like is that the best you got.” Then Aaron cracks his neck and carefully plans his next move. They circle each other before they just wail on each other with strikes such as Body Slaps, Forearm Smashes, Low Roundhouse Kicks and whatnot. After a few moments of this, Travis appears to have the advantage when he tries to hit Aaron with another Phoenix Tear. But Aaron manages to grab Travis’s arm and then quickly rolls into his finisher, the Insanity Choke (Triangle Choke.) Then the referee checks to see if Aaron’s shoulders on the mat or not. Then the referee goes to check on Travis. Travis appears to be fading fast. Then the referee raises Travis’s arm once. Then they raise it a second time. Then they raise it a third time, it appears that Travis is about to fight out of it but then his arm falls down for the third time.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Whoah! Just like that!

Then the referee signals for the bell, as he informs Aaron that he has won. Then after a few moments of Aaron holding on, he breaks it off as the referee raises his hand in victory as “Spit It Out” by Slipknot plays over the PA. Then Aaron celebrates a bit as Travis is assisted to the back by some orderlies. Then after a bit, Aaron heads to the back with a smile on his face as he attains another victory in Shogun.

WINNER: AARON JONES

As the scene opens, we see "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom punching a wall as a Soulless One materializes near to him. Then the Soulless One taps him on the shoulder.

SOULLESS ONE
Hey, so who are you "killing" tonight?

Phantom quickly turns around and nails them with a solid right jab and causing them to fall on their ass.

SOULLESS ONE
Hey, W.T.F.!

THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
What is wrong with you?
You should know better than to "sneak up" on me from behind.

SOULLESS ONE
Apologies.

THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
I am going to "kill" Ace Michaels. While WE respect his journalistic integrity, he should not have reentered my jungle.

Then Phantom lifts up the Soulless One as Phantom goes back to punching the wall.

SOULLESS ONE
WE are going to make this short and simple, Ace. You are going to "die" tonight whether it happens via The Blood of The Soulless or the Satan's Spike, you will go down for the...

One!
Two!
Three!

And then you will get to not only look at the lights and the hand of Phantom being raised but also the disappointment in that pretty little wife of yours. Now, run away and going back to asking the questions and not getting your ass handed to you.

Then Phantom turns back around for a moment and punches towards the camera.

THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
Ace, you better come prepared because I am going to "KILL" you tonight.

Then the Soulless One disappears in a puff of smoke as Phantom gets a sinister grin across his lips as his entrance music begins as he heads off to "kill" Ace Michaels and gain more points for Shogun and it fades to black.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is part of the Shogun Tournament! Introducing first, weighing in at three hundred forty five pounds, PHANTOM!

The lights in the arena go pitch black. Then the opening 30 seconds of "This Hell" by We Are The Flesh begins...

Then a video begins to play on the Tron that displays a montage of war, death and other scenes of destruction. Then after a few moments, a huge fiery explosion goes off. And then the song begins to pick up ever harder. Then out of the back comes, "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom surrounded by like four orderlies. "This Hell" by We Are The Flesh continues to play as it now appears he is locked in what appears to be a straitjacket of some kind. Then after the orderlies reach the end of the ramp, they let him out of the jacket and he attempts to go berserk. They instruct him to go into the ring and handle it there.

Then he climbs the apron, with the orderlies standing directly behind him holding the jacket and some chains. But before entering the ring, he clutches at his head and hears a voice, "Prepare to destroy, maim and obliterate your opposition and cause lots of destruction."

Then after he shakes it off, but prior to him climbing over the top rope and moving to his corner for his opponent to arrive.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent, weighing in at two hundred forty five pounds, ACE MICHAELS!!

The opening to “Shitlist” by L7 blasts through the arena, as Ace Michaels bursts out from behind the curtain, a frenzied energy about him. Michaels has a huge grin on his face, jogging down the ramp and toward the ring.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It’s beauty versus the beast--no not The Beast--but a beast certainly!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
He’s going to need all of that energy to make a dent in the Phantom. Michaels is at a serious weight disadvantage here.

The bell sounds, and we’re underway. Michaels jumps in place before springing forward, walking circles around Phantom as the two look to lock up. Michaels locks up and Phantom quickly transitions to a side headlock – Phantom shoots Michaels out of the headlock to the ropes, hitting the mat before he springs back! Michaels leapfrogs Phantom on the second comeback, racing after him and executing an O’Connor roll, but Phantom quickly kicks out. Michaels is back on his feet and rushes Phantom, but Phantom ducks the clothesline attempt, turning around and lifting Michaels into a bridged fisherman’s suplex! The referee slides into position!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
The referee starts the count!


ONE!!!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
No, he kicked out!!

Michaels kicks out! The two quickly scramble to their feet, and Michaels leaps into the air, planting Phantom to the ground with a high-arcing dropkick. Ace quickly scrambles over to his opponent, pulling him to his feet and whipping him into the ropes, sending him flying over with a back bodydrop. Ace pumps a fist to the crowd, bringing a cheer as the fans show appreciation for Michaels' athleticism. Phantom suddenly grabs the rushing Ace Michaels, lifting him up as he slams him into the mat!

The cameras cut to the back area of the basement. The sound of a scream is heard echoing throughout the corridor. The camera shoots back and forth trying to find the origin of the scream. It is none other than KiKi Kartharsies. She is leaning against the wall in the corridor, her fists clenched as she stares up at the ceiling as the camera comes upon her.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
Stay back Kiera. This is my night. I told you to rest and relax into the darkness.

Her head tilts to the side, then quickly back to the other side. Her eyes seem to be pitch black.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
I will go out there and make Sin regret every decision she has ever made, especially against us. Not only will I do that for us, I will snatch the shiny Underground trinket from her grasp.

Another little yelp escapes her as she returns in a stiff pose, her gaze to the ceiling.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
That's right Kiera, rest there. Let me go do what I was put here to do. Get what you want. The glory of holding another shiny trinket. Allow me to gain the retribution you have been obsessing over for the past couple months.

Her clenched fists slam into the concrete wall that she is leaning against. Her head slowly moves down, noticing the camera which causes a devilish, demonic grin to cross her face.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
Awe look at what we have here Kiera. The camera is back. Here to record you fighting with me. You refuse to accept the fact that I am in control now. Look Kiera, see the camera...

She slowly moves her right arm up and in front of her, her index finger, shakily points at the camera.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
What do you think this guy here, is standing in front of us? He is recording us. We have a fight session coming up and well my screams caught his attention. So like a typical mentally displaced male being, he had to run over and see what was going on. Is this what you want to show to those sitting on their couches at home? Seriously Kiera, this is my time to go out to that rickety ring and send Sin to a hospital trauma unit.

She turns, as she returns her right arm to her side and the hand clenched back into a fist.

KIKI KARTHARSIES
Time for the screaming crazy to unleash the storm that swirls inside us. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The scream lasts a lot longer due to the echoing affect within the corridor. It also causes the camera to go dark.



COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
This next match is true contrast in both styles and body types.

That’s right, the giant in Giant Tiger and the reigning Demolition Champion in Tora Nishida.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Ladies and gentlemen from Virginia Beach, Virginia and accompanied to the ring by his wife Latrice DeNucci. He stands a mighty seven feet six inches and weighs in at four hundred pounds, he is the Titan of Tigers, GIANT TIGER!!!



The guitar riff of "Eye of the Tiger" plays and the crowd goes wild and Giant Tiger and Latrice come to the ring. Latrice smiles and fives the fans and Giant Tiger looks down and nod to the fans and fist bumps with them. Giant Tiger lowers the ropes for his wife and Latrice enters it. Giant Tiger then steps over the ropes and then they come to the middle of the ring and roars and the fans roar with him

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent, hailing from Okinawa, Japan, standing 6’2” and weighing 246lbs, he is the Demolition champion, this is TORA NISHIDAAAAAA!!!!

The lights in the arena go pitch black. Then a video begins to play on the Tron that displays dark clouds with rumbles coming from them. Soon thunder struck from the clouds to the ground as by 0:05" "No One Will Survive" by CFO$ plays throughout the arena.



♪ NO ONE WILL SURVIVE! ♪

The lights come back on as Tora Nishida walks out with the tron displaying his name, along with clips of wrestlers that he has decimated in the ring. He looks at the crowd for two minutes before walking down to the ring with boos from the fans.

♪ YEAH,
NO ONE WILL SURVIVE!
THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW,
NO ONE WILL SURVIVE ♪

He enters the ring and hops on to the second rope near the corner and looks at the crowd. He closes his eyes and stretches his arms out as he takes in the boos from the fans.

♪ OBLITERATE,
ALL THAT WHO DEFY YOU
THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW,
NO ONE WILL SURVIVE ♪

He gets down and heads over to the ropes as he throws up his left hand and does a "shaka sign' hand gesture with a slight smirk on his face before it instantly changes to a blank look on his face. He slowly does a Throat-Slitting Gesture while his hand is still in shaka sign.

♪ SEPARATE,
FROM THE HELL THAT GUIDES YOU
THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW,
NO ONE WILL SURVIVE ♪

Tora moves away from the ropes as he looks up at the ramp. Waiting for his opponent.

Leave the jokes to me.

The bell sounds and the two men take the middle of the ring. Nishida and Tiger come face to face, in the middle of the ring and Nishida appears to be saying something to Tiger. Nishida then shoves Tiger, but Tiger barely moves. Tiger takes a step back and looks around the crowd as Nishida stands cocky in the middle of the ring. Tiger then steps forward with a shove of his own that sends Nishida to the mat.

A stunned Nishida quickly jumps to his feet and moves right toward Tiger and goes for a slap, but Tiger blocks it and counters with a slap of his own that drops Nishida again. Nishida quickly jumps to his feet and looks quite angry. Nishida charges at Tiger, and Tiger catches him with a hip toss. Nishida once again is quick to his feet but is met with a running clothesline from Tiger that sends Nishida flipping over the top rope to the outside.

Nishida lands on his feet, but is visibly upset and a bit shaken as he slaps the ring apron with both hands. Tiger takes the middle of the ring and poses to cheers for the crowd.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Looks like Tora Nishida is getting more from Giant Tiger than he expected.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Giant Tiger may not have the best record, but he is a massive man that can do a lot of damage.

Tiger steps back and gives Nishida room to get back into the ring. The two men go to lock up but Nishida stops short and delivers a kick to the stomach of Tiger. Nishida then quickly grabs a wrist lock on Tiger's left arm. Tiger winces in pain and slouches over a bit, but quickly stands upright and tries to fight the hold off. With pure power Tiger grabs Nishida by the wrist and shoots him across the ring breaking the wrist lock. Nishida hits the ropes and comes back into a big boot from Tiger that drops Nishida.

Nishida doesn’t get up to his feet as quickly this time, but is assisted as Giant Tiger grabs him by the head and pulls him up. Tiger shoots Nishida into the corner, and Nishida crashes into the turnbuckles hard. Tiger follows up with a running avalanche into the corner.

Tiger Grabs Nishida by the face and says something to him, and then Tiger shoots Nishida across the ring into the corner again. Tiger charges across the ring going for another avalanche, but Nishida dives through the ropes to the apron and Tiger runs chest first into the corner. Nishida is quick to his feet and grabs the left arm of Tiger, Nishida then jumps off the apron pulling Tiger's arm down across the top rope.

Tora Nishida able to move out of the way of that big splash and do damage to the arm of Giant Tiger.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Smart thinking by the Demolition champion, take away the arm of the giant and take away his power game.

Tiger sinks to his knees holding his arm as Nishida rolls back into the ring. Nishida charges and drops kicks Tiger in the arm, knocking Tiger over. Nishida is quick to his feet and continues his attack with foot held arm stomps. After several stomps Nishida leaps up and drops a knee onto the arm of Tiger. Nishida then executes a smooth transition into a fujiwara armbar.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Tora Nishida has that Fujiwara armbar locked in tight, and Giant Tiger looks like he is in a lot of pain.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It looks like Giant Tiger is trying to fight out of the hold though using pure strength.

Tiger is able to work his way to his knees and then to his feet. Tiger uses his strength to power out of the armbar and shoots Nishida off into the ropes. Tiger goes for another big boot, but Nishida rolls under the boot with a front roll, and pops right up to his feet and runs to the ropes and springboard off the middle rope with a cross body onto Tiger.

Tiger though, gives an impressive display of strength by catching Nishida in midair. Tiger uses his raw power and good arm to sling Nishida over his shoulder. Tiger begins to run around the ring setting up for a power slam, but Nishida is able to escape by sliding down the back of Tiger. Nishida wraps his arms around Tigers waist and goes for a German suplex, but can’t get the big man up and over.

Tiger fires a back elbow to the skull of Nishida which breaks Nishida’s grip. Tiger charges to the ropes and comes back with a massive clothesline, but Nishida is able to sidestep and catches Tiger's arm. Nishida uses Tiger's own momentum and brings Tiger down to the mat in an inverted doublearm crossface.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Is Tora Nishida a jazz musician, because that was a smooth transition.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Are you sure we should leave the jokes to you?

Nishida cranks the hold tight, but Tiger refuses to give up. Tiger begins to fight, digging his feet and free hand into the mat. Tiger pushes himself up, and once again uses his incredible strength lifting Nishida up off of the mat. Nishida keeps the crossface on, but Tiger makes him pay for it by dropping him down to the mat with a modified sidewalk slam.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Amazing power by Giant Tiger, using every bit of power he has to break free.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Tora Nishida is smooth like jazz, but Giant Tiger is heavy metal.

Giant Tiger and Nishida both get to their feet, with Tiger trying to shake some feeling back into his arm. Nishida strikes first with a big kick to Tiger's chest. This stuns Tiger, but doesn’t move him. Nishida delivers a second kick that knocks Tiger back a couple of steps. Nishida goes for a third kick, but Tiger catches Nishida's leg. Tiger uses the leg to throw Nishida into the corner, and then charges in with a back elbow into the corner on Nishida.

Tiger grabs Nishida and shoots him across the ring into the opposite corner, and Tiger then himself runs and bounces off the ropes. Nishida hits the turnbuckles hard and staggers out right into a pounce from Tiger. Nishida flies across the ring, but Tiger is also down and clutching his hurt arm that he just charged into Nishida with.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Giant Tiger just landed a huge maneuver on Tora Nishida, but hurt his arm even more in the process.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That is what happens when you use your body as a weapon.

Tiger gets to his feet and is rotating his shoulder trying to work the pain out. Nishida is trying to get up, but is on all fours. Tiger takes three big steps and lands a big punt to the ribs of Nishida. The kick lifts Nishida up into the air and Nishida comes down and rolls under the bottom rope to the apron.

Giant Tiger reaches over the top rope and lifts Nishida up to his feet. Tiger hooks Nishida for a suplex and lifts him up for a suplex over the top rope into the ring. Tiger's arm gives out though and he drops Nishida who is able to land on his feet. Tiger clutches his arm, and Nishida strikes fast with a spinning back kick that staggers Tiger backwards.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Giant Tigers arm once again failing him at a crucial time.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Guess you could all that his Achilles arm.

Nishida charges towards Giant Tiger, but Tiger steps forward and grabs Nishida around the throat with both hands. Nishida’s face clearly shows he is shocked. Tiger lifts Nishida up for a two handed chokeslam, but as he does Nishida is able to transition into Raiju's Wrath (Crossface / scissored armbar combination). Tiger tries to fight free once again using his strength trying to pull himself free, but Nishida only cinches the hold in tighter.

Tiger tries to lift Nishida off of the mat, but is only able to lift Nishida a few inches off the ground before he crumbles to the mat. Tiger tries once more to free himself but then submits.

WINNER: TORA NISHIDA

Between matches and breaks the scene comes up to the Sanatorium Infirmary. A slow pan up reveals plastic covering over every item except for one instrument tray tucked behind the door. Doctor Sly is in dark green surgical scrubs sporting a clear splatter mask. He is carefully taking measurements. He begins to hum "Humpty Dumpty." Behind him in the distance is the lab video monitor, which is playing an old black and white Humpty Dumpty video that is extremely unsettling.



Sly takes one final tally on his chart, then smiles ear to ear as the formula comes to perfection. Moments later we see Lord Raab being admitted by the office for some advisory work. He spots Elijah Copeland's cocky stare through the glass in the next admitting room. Eli flirts with a nurse, then winks at Lord Raab. Raab scoffs, watching the direction Copeland is traveling. Raab thanks the Administrator for his badge and walks in to the first zone, mirroring Copeland through the door windows between them at each entry level.

They both make it to the final hall, and are given a warning not to interact with anyone for any reason. They are dispensed into a hallway to make it to their respective destinations within the Sanatorium under belly. Lord Raab looks up despisingly at everything about Eli, from his shoes, to his pants, to his shit eating grin and arrogant expression. Eli winks again ready to head off, but Lord Raab turns him around by the shoulder to give him an education on being humble.

Suddenly Dr.Sly pops up from behind a hidden corridor completely out of breath, still in his scrubs. He panics asking the two to "please help;" shouting about how he was attacked by a patient in the Infirmary. He runs off desperate to resolve the issue as Raab and Eli follow spaced apart by a few feet begrudgingly. Eli has a flash back to being stuck in a chair, and slicing Sly's face to escape. He reaches into his pocket, grasping the surgical knife he lifted to escape his restraints. But still follows wanting to help if he can for the publicity and what it will do for his reputation.

SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
HURRY, he's going to hurt someone!

Sly runs ahead of them through the door as they try to keep up gasping for air. Sly slips through the saloon double doors leading to the surgical den. Raab rushes the doors and hears an odd sound under his feet, he turns to warn Eli but his momentum causes them to collide, as a metal sheet slides down in front of the double doors. Sly hits a button as a trap door releases, sending the two down a chute into a pit with hissing Kimono dragons sleeping all around them. The chute closes as Sly's grinning face peaks at them through dim light from above by way of a barred ceiling square.

SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
Well- he's going to hurt someone here... I may have fibbed. Mr.Copeland, I'll be taking my scalpel back? Does no good to have an imperfect collection. It's like you, Eli, always trying to be complete, but never quite having all it takes...

Eli looks up still holding onto the scalpel. Lord Raab whispers something to keep the beasts at bay. One of them begins to stir, it emerges from the shadows with a giant mutated form of Sly's face in lizard form. Two more snap as the two men are forced back to back by the circumstances. Lord Raab unbuckles his belt, pulling it out to use as a deterrent for the Sly Dragons. Eli looks back up through the bars at Sly, Sly's face begins to melt... his face flesh waves into a continuous morphing between all the girls Eli has disappointed in his life like the T-1000 in fresh hot lava being tormented by its own victim-ology. Sweat beads. Heart races. Wet hair on a drenched pillow. The eyelids of Eli Copeland wake from an overnight bikini party bender.

THE GOLDEN STANDARD | ELIJAH COPELAND
OOHHH MYYY GOSSSHH! Phew, no Sly Dragons... Wow, what a relief. I need a night cap so I don't sleep!

He gets up in his house catching his breath. He slides into his custom made lizard leather slippers. He stands up to go start a night cap, but his legs are pulled out from under him, he is pulled under the bed by Lord Raab who slits his throat taunting him about being such a "tireless wimp."

Eli wakes up in the shower with water beading down his face, having fell asleep on a shower bench at the WWH Gym after a grueling workout. He turns the water off and sighs after a series of scary dream sequences. He puts the towel around his waaaaaaayy too tan to be comfortable ass; the picture on the back of the towel is a lizard Sly face.

Eli wakes up.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is scheduled for fall...



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, representing ROMANIA! She hails from BALTIMORE, MARYLAND! She is ...ABBY EVANS!

Nightcore cues up as Abby walks out, her hands behind her back as she sticks her tongue out at the camera before walking to the ring. She slides up on the apron, gives out a scream, and slowly seductively crawls under the bottom rope before sitting in the corner as she awaits for Elijah Copeland.



RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And her opponent, representing CHINA! He hails from LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA! Weighing in at TWO HUNDRED-TEN POUNDS! He is the GOLDEN STANDARD...ELIJAH COPELAND!

The camera pans around the Sanatorium battle zone. There were no lights or anything special going on. Just then "Breaking Through" by the Wreckage hits the speakers on the arena. The doors to the Sanatorium opens up.

♪ Sever every tie
Untangle every lie
Your words don't mean anything anymore, no
Never satisfied ♪

Just then Elijah is seen coming through the open doors of the Sanatorium. He is seen wearing a black muscle shirt with "The Copeland Era" written on the front, black and gold trunks with Copeland written on the back in gold, black knee pads, black and gold boots, white wrapped up hand on his left hand, black wrist tape on his left, black dog tag with "Elijah Copeland" written in it, and a black sweatband up his arms with "Copeland" written in gold. He puts his wrist together and gets a huge smirk on his face. He looks around and nods.

♪ But I won't compromise myself for you
Anymore anymore, no
You're so complicated
I'm so over it ♪

He starts walking down the aisle towards the ring. He gets towards the gates and we see a couple of orderlies opening it up for him. He gets ringside and walks towards the steps. He stops there for a few seconds.

♪ Don't tell me everything is all right
(I know you know)
Don't tell me how to live my life
I'm breaking through tonight ♪

He slaps the steps a few times before walking up them. He walks alongside the edge of the ring. He enters it and walks towards the turnbuckle.

♪ You can crash and burn this time
As I leave it all behind
These scars won't breathe anymore anymore, no
Sounds like goodbye ♪

He looks around at everything that is inside of this place and more. He takes off his dog tags and puts them in the corner. He then takes off his shirt and throws it to the ground. He waits patiently in the corner looking at Abby Evans.

Elijah has been very vocal about this match. He has stated that he’s going to not only win this match – but the entire Shogun. That’s a bold prediction right there.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
And for good reason. Elijah is the most talented superstar in this entire place. When he wins, he’ll begin to build his kingdom and I shall be his queen.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
What is up with you, Hel? You need to start being fair.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I am being fair. But it melts your heart when you see a man like Elijah in that ring with those abs.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
You make me sick.

We see both Elijah and Abby standing across each other as they prepare for the match to start. The ref is seen checking Abby making sure that she doesn’t have any weapons. He then heads over to Elijah who holds his arm out. The ref checks him up and gets nothing. Just then he signals for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

Elijah looks at Abby as he gets a huge smile on his face. She just looks at him and doesn’t even show any emotion. They move close to each other and begin to trash talk to each other. Elijah then starts to laugh as he slaps Abby Evans across the face. She doesn’t take too kindly to that and hits a right hook to his face but he is able to duck and locks his arms around her waist and hits a release German suplex right on the back on her neck. You can see her holding her neck as the fans aka the inmates are booing Elijah. He throws his hands up in the air and gives off a huge smirk.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Elijah with that huge german suplex. And it looks like Abby landed hard on the back of her head.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Good. That means she’s not able to fight. That means my man can hurt her even more.

Abby is slowly moving as she gets up on all fours. That is when he runs with a huge punt to her ribcage. You can see the pain on her face. He then grabs her by the hair and brings her to the corner and begins to hit repeated knee strikes to her gut. Abby hasn’t had a chance to fight back from the brutal assault. She eventually drops to the corner. That is when Elijah runs towards the ropes and bounces off as he comes back and hits a brutal running face wash. He then picks her up and takes her to the ringside. He lifts her and has her hung on the rope and smiles. Just then he hits a snapping STO and Abby isn’t moving.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Elijah is showing a side of himself that you didn’t think was possible.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That my man. ELIJAH, FINISH HER OFF!

He smiles as he stands up. He picks up Abby's lifeless body and puts it under his arm. He then put her in an underhook and nods. The fans know where he’s going with this. He then picks her up in a vertical position and drops her with the PHILLY SPECIAL! He smiles as he hooks one leg.


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


DING! DING! DING!

WINNER: ELIJAH COPELAND

Just then “Breaking through” hits the P.A System and he stands up as his hands are raised in the air.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Here is your winner, and giving his country another point – ELIJAH COPELAND.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Total domination by Elijah Copeland in this match. After that German suplex, Elijah went in for the kill.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
He can dominate me any day of the week.

Elijah's hands were lowered and he wasn’t done. He gets on top of Abby and begins to hit a series of punches to her face. He wants to send a message to everyone in this tournament that he’s going to win. He gets off of her and picks her up again. He puts her under his arm, hooks her arm, and picks her in a vertical position, and drops her headfirst against the Philly Special. He looks down at her and smiles. He then backs away as he gets out of the ring and heads up the steps and smiles leaving Abby in the middle of the ring.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Seems that was a message to everyone on the roster that he’s going to win this all.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Elijah will win. My man has the heart and desire to win it all.

The scene opens to Mad Dog Mark Wright pacing back and forth. He is pounding his fist into his hand and looks extremely focused. A bit of tobacco juice runs down the corner of his mouth, and stops punching his hand long enough to wipe the juice with the back of his hand. Sunny Jim steps into the frame from the side, and checks his jacket and tie to make sure he is looking good.

SUNNY JIM
Tonight the Mad Dog Mark Wright will garner his second victory of the Shogun tournament, but tonight’s victory will be even sweeter, because tonight everyone will see just how great Mar Wright is, and just how crazy the Mad Dog can get. Tonight is Mad Dog’s biggest match to date, and his toughest challenge in WWH.

Well, Mad Dog is going to answer that challenge tonight, and not only answer it, but exceed all expectations. Everyone in Shogun, and everyone in the World Wrestling Headquarters better set up and pay attention. Pull out your yellow legal pads and your best pens, because you are going to want to take notes on what you see tonight. Because, what you are going to see tonight is the future Shogun champion, and the future World champion, the Mad Dog Mark Wright.

Mad Dog stops pacing and steps in front of Sunny. Mad Dog stands in silence for a moment, with Sunny looking on over his shoulder with the look of a proud owner of a stud horse who is about to race in the Kentucky Derby. Finally, Mad Dog spits a jaw full of tobacco juice onto the floor.

MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
Aaaarrrgggg ROOOOOFF ROOOOFFF ROOFFF!!!
