As the "fans" start to enter the Sanatorium's arena, we hear "Spooky Scary Skeletons (Drypaper Remix) by Andrew Gold play over the PA as The Spooky Scary Skeletons along with Necrosis make their way to the ring. Then after they have done their entrance and entered the ring, they go to their corner and plan their strategies for the match. Then a weird amalgam theme comes over the PA as John Blade and Zach enter the arena. Then they enter the ring as the referee does a quick pre-match check and then rings the bell.
Then Hugh Merus starts the match with John Blade. Then John Blade starts to circle Hugh as he just stares at him. Then the moment Blade walks up to him, Hugh just blasts Blade square in the face with a Headbutt. Then he just looks down at Blade who is clutching his nose/face as Hugh tags in Mike. As Blade gets up to a seated position, Mike launches himself towards Blade with a Low-Angle Dropkick to his face. Then instead of following up, Mike taunts Zach to come and fight. Then after a bit of jaw jacking, Blade manages to tag Zach in.
Then Zach does a sinister smile before charging towards Mike. Mike just lays in wait as he unloads a Spinning Heel Kick onto the incoming Zach. This causes Zach to stammer a bit as Mike calls for Hugh. Then like a lightning bolt, they perform their signature tag move, The Staycation at Tibia Rasa. Then as Zach gets launched back to a standing but staggered position, Mike tags in Hugh who then quickly grabs Zach and places Zach in between his legs and signals for the end. Then Blade tries to enter the ring when Necrosis gets onto the ring apron and screams at him. Then Hugh picks up Zach and then Mike comes flying off the top rope as they perform their finisher, the Compression Fracture. Then Hugh just nonchalantly lays on top of Zach as the referee makes the three count.
WINNERS: THE SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS
Christy and Brittany are sitting in one of the meeting areas.
BRITTANY FRASER
So that AceTV went interesting, huh.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Yeah, I’ve been crowing for months to get a meeting with the warden and all i got was the third wheel on some version of kiss ass tv
Brittany laughs.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Laugh all you want but everyone saw the all it was was Ace Michaels kissing Eden’s ass, and calling me out and making idle threats, acting like a tough guy to sure brownie points with Eden. I made my points and pretty much got ignored but hey I get reduced hours in the auto shop so that was something I guess, Eden had the gall to call me a sex offender, when the state of California hasn’t declared me one, some I’m stuck with no conjugal visits. Then that Idiot Ace says I wasn’t showing him any respect, I don’t own that dude any respect.
BRITTANY FRASER
No you don’t and did he somehow book a match between you and the warden.
CHRISTY WINTERS
It seems like it, I mean I’ll fight her if I have to, I only to present my grievances, then Ace cuts the segment short.
BRITTANY FRASER
I still nearly puked watching him hold the ropes open or Eden.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Don’t remind, if that didn’t make it obvious he was out to score points with the warden I
i don't know what is.
BRITTANY FRASER
Exactly.

RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred thirty one pounds, he's representing Appalachia, MAD DOG MARK WRIGHT!
Then "Mad Dog" Mark Wright comes barreling through the entrance way, chugging a can of beer. He stops at the top of the entrance way, and smashes the can on his head. Mad Dog throws the smashed can into the crowd and then pulls his jacket off throwing it down and runs down the entrance way and slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Then he stares at Sunny Jim as Shitlist by L7 starts to blast over the PA system.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent, representing the USA... weighing in at two hundred forty five pounds, he is THE ACE OF WWH, ACE MICHAELS!
When the lead singer starts to sing, the man who is known as " The Ace of W.W.H." Ace Michaels is seen being accompanied to the ring by his wife/manager Victoria Lyons- Michaels. They high five some fans and they go to the ring. He holds the ring ropes open for her and she thanks him. He gets inside of the ring and goes to each corner waving to the fans. He goes to talk trash about what he wants to do to his opponent with a smile on his face.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Two familiar faces, but not familiar from the Sanatorium ring. Mad Dog's one of the rising stars of Dystopia, where he's been a wild success so far.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Yep, and Ace Michaels we know from his AceTV segs, gotta wonder how he'll fare against such a hotshot as Mad Dog. We'll find out how much ring rust he has on him quick!
Then Ace Michaels and Mad Dog stare at each other as the referee goes over the “Rules” and then does the pre-match check. Then after they have done so, they signal for the bell as Mad Dog and Ace Michaels lock up in a collar and elbow. As they tussle, Ace Michaels manages to back up Mad Dog to a corner. The referee checks to see if Ace gives a clean break. Just as the referee acknowledges so, Mad Dog manages to grab Ace Michaels by the collar and puts him into a Headlock and does a quick little noogie.
Then Mad Dog pushes him off as Ace proceeds to turn around gives a dirty look like what the hell bro. Then Mad Dog attempts to charge at Ace but manages to stop him in his tracks with a quick Body Slam. Then Ace attempts a pinfall but doesn’t get a one count. Then Ace grabs the arm of Mad Dog and proceeds to put it into an Armbar. The referee goes to see if he gives.
MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
Hell nah, bro.
Then Mad Dog does something a little dirty, he proceeds to bite down onto Ace’s leg in order for him to let go. Ace does indeed let go and then backs up and gives Mad Dog another dirty look like what is wrong with you.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Mad Dog doing what's in the nature of his namesake, unorthodox but effective tactics.
Then Ace and Mad Dog get up to standing position and start to circle one another. The moment Ace tries to go in for an Irish Whip, Mad Dog grabs him and performs an amazing Belly to Belly Suplex. Then he holds onto it for an attempted pinfall. The referee goes to make the count.
ONE!
Ace kicks out a count of one. Mad Dog looks at the referee dumbfounded as does Sunny Jim. They look at him like that should have been three. This distraction gives Ace enough time to get up and lay in wait for Mad Dog to turn around. Then like viper, Ace proceeds to “Bitch Slap” some taste out of Mad Dog’s mouth. This causes Mad Dog to back up a bit and then he smiles a bit as he returns the favor but with a devastating looking headbutt instead. Then he starts whooping and hollering that this is the end of line for the supposed “Ace of W.W.H.” Then he lays in wait as Ace starts to slowly rise back up to a standing position. Then as Ace turns around to face Mad Dog, he blasts him with his signature Mountaineer Lariat. This causes Ace to fall down onto the mat in a heap.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Mad Dog just blasted Ace Matthews out of his boots!
Then he looks around for a moment before pointing to the turnbuckle and proceeds to step outside. Then he climbs to the top rope and then he motions this is the end for Ace Michaels. Then like a dog flying in the air for a Frisbee, he comes crashing down onto Ace with his finisher, Go Mad. Then Mad Dog impacts Ace Michaels, he staggers up for a moment to try and regain his bearing. Then Victoria Lyons attempts to crawl into the ring when Sunny Jim scares her away from doing so. Then he jumps onto Ace Michaels and hooks a leg as the referee makes the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Then “Losing Your Mind” by Black Label Society plays over the PA as Sunny Jim crawls into the ring and helps Mad Dog up as the referee raises his hand in victory. Then Victoria and some orderlies help Ace to the back as Sunny Jim and Mad Dog celebrate for a bit before heading to the back.
WINNER: “MAD DOG” MARK WRIGHT
As the scene opens, we are in the backstage area of the Sanatorium, the hustle and bustle of the staff are moving things and making sure tech and whatever else is right for the the next combatant's match is ready. As this is going on, the camera catches "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom walking towards the entryway.
THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
Today is going to be a good fucking day.
Then the camera catches who he is talking to. It is his partner in The Order of The Soulless, "The Soulless King" Gary Black along with "The Soulless Jester" Chucky Ross.
THE SOULLESS KING | GARY BLACK
Indeed, my dear boy. We want you to make an example out of Tora Nishida. Show him the true power of The Order of the Soulless. And also make him rue the day that he had to have you as his first opponent in the Shogun. It's time that we show the world that The Order of The Soulless are not pushovers and will fuck you up if make even the slightest mistake.
Then he proceeds to get in front of Phantom and gives a solid chop to the chest to pump him up. Then after that chop, Chucky lays one for good measure. Phantom looks at both of them before turning to face a nearby camera.
THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
TORA!
YOU'RE DEAD FUCKING MEAT, BOY!
Then he charges towards the entryway and then hypes himself some more by slapping himself in the face before the scene fades to black.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Yo, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is part of the Shogun Tournament!
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, this man is representing NAVAJO NATION, he hailing from THE NAVAJO NATION! Weighing in at TWO HUNDRED FOURTY SEVEN POUNDS, HE IS LEVI TSINGINE!!!!
The heavy bass beat blended with stadium pow-wow chanting of "R.E.D." comes over the speakers.
♪ True and living by the G Code, what the fuck is fleek though?
Don't ask them, what do he know? What I forgot is better than whatever they remember.
Never mind, I'm off it, it’s quiet for 'em, time to put the temper tantrums to the quiet corner.
HUSH! That’s enough, said the ruler, no suckas allowed to break bread or asunder-- ♪
The bass drops and at the top of the ramp, the hulking form of Levi Tsingine appears. He walks down the ramp and enters the ring awaiting Travis Levitt.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
His opponent, he's representing AUSTRALIA! He hails from RICHMOND, VIRGINIA! Weighing in at TWO HUNDRED FIFTY POUNDS, HE IS TRAVIS LEVITT!!!
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. 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 turned to drop it outside the ring to the roadie before he gets ready for battle.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
This match is going to be something that people have never seen before. Travis Levitt versus Levi Tsingine. This will be a hard-hitting fight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Travis better wins this – I mean, look at how cute he is with all those tattoos. You have to admit that a man with tattoos is drop-dead sexy.
The ref looks at both men who continue to look at each other with cold stares. He then signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
The two look and walk up to each other. Both men are screaming at each other and trying to show who is the alpha male, but Levi just smirks and hits Travis with a right-hand slap. Travis rubs his cheek and hits a stiff kick to his gut. He begins to strike him with a few forearm shots and brings him to the corner. He begins to hit a series of stiff knee strikes to his gut. Levi is feeling the pain and is then grabbed by the side of his neck and thrown over the top rope and landing on the outside. Travis gets out of the ring and picks him up. As Levi goes to one knee, Travis is then hit with a stiff strike to the gut. Travis takes the shot and that is when Levi stands up and brings a knee to his gut. He grabs Travis and whips him towards the plexiglass, but Travis is able to counter and whips Levi hard against it.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
That plexiglass seems to get a lot of action every time we have this show airing.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It can be used as a weapon but still making it legal. Think about it, these are hard times, and can’t afford to have our superstars getting sick.
Travis picks him up and whips him back into the ring. Levi slowly crawls and stands up. He turns around but is hit with a stiff spinning high kick from Travis. Levi is wobbling a bit but still standing he then is hit with a snap suplex and quickly covers him.
ONE!
TWO!
Levi is able to kick out after the count of two. Travis picks him up and whips him into the corner. He charges forward but is met with Levi's feet colliding with his face. Travis moves back and is met with a huge big boot to his face, which takes him down to the mat. Levi looks at the crowd aka the inmates and forms a huge smirk on his face.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
That is the Levi that I know. A man who is knows what he wants.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Levi needs to learn to stop pissing off the fans and get back to it. Cause trust me, I believe that he's not taking this match seriously.
Travis slowly stands up to one knee and shaking the cobwebs out of his head. Levi turns around and grabs Travis and smirks. His hand is on the top of his head and his other hand on his jaw.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
DO IT, LEVI! SNAP HIS DAMN NECK! PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY!
Levi is about to do it until Travis gets up fully and hits a few back elbows to his gut. Levi is not letting go, and that forces him to continue to hit those back elbows. Travis is able to make him let go and, so Travis hits a stiff kick to his gut and bends him over. Travis runs towards the ropes and comes back with a huge knee to the side of his head. Levi takes the shot and is hit with a spinning backhand to his face. Levi is still standing and is then taken down hard with a huge Discus clothesline that Travis calls, PHOENIX TEAR! Travis slowly covers him.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-!
Levi is able to get his shoulder up, and Travis looks at the ref and can't believe it. He thought he had the win right then and there. He slaps the mat hard and tries to figure out how to put him down.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Travis is getting upset. That boy wants to put him down, he needs to do more work.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
C'MON BABY! I mean, Travis!
Travis stands up and moves to the corner. He turns around and tells Levi to get up. The ref is asking if he wants to continue? He nods but then pushes the ref to the corner. He crawls to the corner and grabs the walking cane. He brings it close to him and that is when he stands up slowly and that is when Travis comes in for his Resurrection Kick but is met with the walking cane right in the face. It was a swing to the face, and Travis holds his face. He throws the cane out as the ref turns around. Levi smirks as Travis holds his face. He kneels and grabs his head and puts him in the mandible claw and shoving his fingers down his throat. Travis now motionless and the ref signals for the bell.
WINNER: LEVI TSINGINE
The ref is trying to get Levi away from Travis. He stands up and gets a smirk as "R.E.D" hits the P.A system. He looks down at Travis who is getting help and is escorted out of the ring.
The scene comes up in a room and we see just a laptop in there. There is a camera pointing at the screen. The screen of the lap turned on and we see on the screen is Jonathan Edwards. All you can see is him wearing a black fitted beanie and a black shirt.
JONATHAN EDWARDS
This little session is to know what I can do to get myself better. But honestly, there is nothing in this world that’ll make me get better.
He let out a loud sigh while looking at the camera, which is still pointing at the laptop.
JONATHAN EDWARDS
But there is one thing that’ll make me feel better and that is getting my hands on Tora, and taking his Demolition championship. Granted, I know that Chucky Ross wants his shot also and I can respect that.
He leans forward a bit and puts his hands on the table. There hasn’t really been anything more than wanting to fight Tora and take his life force.
JONATHAN EDWARDS
Tora, I’ve called you out so many times and I stated what I always stated. You’re ruining a championship that is supposed to have history. Tora, you make me sick to my stomach. I’m supposed to talk about my feelings in this little session but I can’t. I can’t focus on anything else knowing that you are still holding that belt hostage. But the world will see one day that your time as Demolition Champion will come to an end. I don’t care what I have to do. There is only one thing I care about and that is beating you and becoming the Demolition champion and finally giving that title some type of meaning. Tora, I suggest you run – and run far. The moment I get my hands on you, it’s going to the last thing that you ever see.
He shuts off the laptop as the scene fades to the ring.
The scene opens backstage to Mad Dog sitting on a metal folding chair, still sweating from his match. In his hand he holds his phone and his fingers are seen moving on the screen dialing a number. He places the phone to his ear.
PHONE
Hello.
MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
Hey buddy.

Mad Dog smile and shakes his head.

MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
Haha, and I can’t wait to get home either baby.
PHONE
WHAT WAS THAT!?! WHAT ARE YOU…
The phone goes dead suddenly. Mad Dog looks at the phone and notices the call has dropped. Mad Dog quickly redials but the phone rings to voicemail.
MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
F**K!
Mad Dog screams as he starts trying to call again, but once again gets voicemail.
MAD DOG | MARK WRIGHT
Sunny, try calling my Paw, something is wrong at the house.
Mad Dog shouts to Sunny off camera. Mad Dog frantically begins dialing the phone again as the scene fades out.

Abby grabs the fall Aaron and throws him into the barricade. She grabs him again anand rolls him into the ring. Aaron rises, one hand on the ropes as he tries to get his bearings, and the bell rings.

Abby runs in, taking Aaron's feet out from under him-- but Aaron fights back with a kick to the head from his prone position. Aaron rolls out of the ring and Abby follows him, Aaron quickly catching her and slingshotting her into the Plexiglas barricade! He slides back in and as Abby gets to her feet and tries to make it in to follow the count, a basement dropkick sends her flying back to the pads outside the ring. With a running start, Aaron hits a spectacular plancha to the outside to wipe out Abby hard.

Spectacular beginning of the match here, both opponents coming with straight fire and no niceties, just like I like to see!
Aaron grabs Abby and returns the favor of sending her into the barricade, beal-style this time. He decides to roll her in the ring to try for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Aaron picks up Abby by the head, then goes to send her into the corner-- but quickly out of nowhere she reverses-- he puts on the brakes fast enough to keep from colliding with the turnbuckles, but as he turns he's caught with a shiranui! Abby struggles to gain her bearings, recovering enough to start to haul herself up to the top rope to attempt some maneuver-- when Aaron gets up in a flash, Abby on the second rope looking through her legs to see what he's doing, an expertly placed kick incapacitates her enough for Aaron to scoop her off the top rope for a big powerbomb, hanging on for the pin attempt immediately!
ONE!
TWO!
Abby kicks out, and without letting go Aaron picks her back up and hits a big sitout powerbomb again!
ONE!
TWO!

Abby stumbles to her feet, starts throwing punches to the head of a turnbuckle-seated Aaron. She ascends to the top rope beside him, then whips him off with a frankensteiner!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Whoah!
Both wrestlers roll on the mat in agony, unable to go for the pin. They both climb to their feet as the referee counts, Abby making it quicker than Aaron. She grabs him and hauls him to the center, going for the Cut Throat swinging reverse STO-- but he swings right free of it, nailing her with a stunner! He scrapes her off the mat, and it takes a long time to set up the Insanity Crash styles clash, as Abby squirms and we all wait to see if she'll counter-- but it connects!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
WINNER: AARON JONES
The scene comes up in the middle of the Sanatorium ring. The crowd aka the inmates is all sitting in their seats with the Orderly keeping it guarded. We see both Gia and Hel at the tables waiting for the match. That was when "Breaking Through” by The Wreckage hits the P.A System.
Elijah then comes out wearing a nice custom-made suit. He gets a cocky smile on his face as the lyrics are hitting throughout the system.

It really doesn’t matter. Tonight, in this very ring, I have to go up against Giant Tiger. The question is, how? How will I beat someone who is taller than me and weigh more than me? Guess I have to find that out, don’t I?
He gets a smirk on his face as he continues to look at the inmates in the stands. They all stay silent which is to be expected.

The two begin to circle each other and eventually go into a tie-up but Giant Tiger throws Eli across the ring. Eli looks at him and needs to figure out what to do if he wants to win this. He stands up and rushes at him with a clothesline, but the big man is still standing up. He stiff kicks Eli in the gut and throws him out of the ring, and forces him to hit the ground hard. Giant gets out of the ring and grabs Eli by the hair. He brings him towards the announcer's table and slams him in the edge. Eli hits the ground as he is holding his back. Giant grabs Eli by the hair and picks him up in the bearhug. He rushes forward and slams him back first into the plexiglass. He still has a hold of him and runs forward to slam him in the edge of the ring.

Eli hasn’t even got a chance to fight back. If he wants to win this, he has to get back in this. But I guess Eli came into this match with a cocky attitude.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
No, Eli is the one man that can bring something good to this brand. If he loses, I’m going to quit this job. My future husband needs to win.
Giant Tiger lifts him in the military body press and throws him over the top rope and lands hard on the mat. Giant Tiger starts to climb up the side of the ring as Eli stands up and hits a baseball slide that forces him to hit his face on the side. Giant Tiger is still standing and that is when he runs again and hits another baseball slide right into his face. Eli gets between the ropes as Giant Tiger is still standing. Eli stands on the edge of the ring and jumps off landing a crossbody and taking him down to the ground. Eli stands up and grabs him by the head and brings him into the ring. He gets inside of the ring as Tiger stands up slowly and that is when Eli hits a series of stomps to his leg. The big man was now starting to feel the pain from Eli.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Finally, Eli is doing something. Guess he has some spark after all.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Duh, look at him. Eli is a dreamboat. What do you think our children would look like?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
You seriously need to get out of this phase with him, Hel. Cause you’re flirting with someone who is a wrestler.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
So, what? he’s a dreamboat.
Eli stops and grabs his leg. He put his leg on the bottom rope and jumped. He comes crashing down on his leg. Tiger leg is starting to take punishment from Eli. Eli smiles as he takes his eyes off of Giant Tiger. Latrice is hitting the side of the ring to get Tiger up. He gets to the ropes and picks himself up. Eli doesn’t know and turns around. Only to see that Tiger hits him with a huge spear and covers him.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Eli with the kick out. Eli isn't going down without a fight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
He better not.
Giant Tiger picks up Eli and brings him to the corner. He grabs his arm and whips him into the other corner very hard. Eli's back hits the corner and drops. He is screaming and rolling in pain from the assault. Giant Tiger grabs him by the hair and brings him to the corner. He lifts him to the top. He grabs him by the throat but Eli is able to slap his hand away and kicki him in the face. He stands up and jumps off hitting him with a bulldog. Giant Tiger is still breathing and moving after that attack. Eli moves away from him and hits a superkick to his jaw but he is still moving.
ELIJAH COPELAND
Why won’t you stay down?
He slaps his face hard and hits another superkick – BUT WAIT, Tiger grabs his leg and he is pissed now. He kicks his leg, and now he’s wobbling. Giant Tiger rushes forward with BIG BOOT and takes him down. Giant Tiger signals for the end. He picks him up and puts him between his legs. He then picks up and drops him with TOWER TIGER BOMB! Then ref starts to count.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-!
KICKOUT!
At the last second, Eli kicks out of the pin. Giant Tiger can't believe it. He stands up and shows his fingers towards the ref. Eli still is not moving and the ref is checking upon him. Eli slowly moves towards the ropes and starts up. Giant Tiger then rushes forward with a pounce, but he moves out of the way and he hits the ref. Giant Tiger can't believe it and is trying to wake him up.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
The ref is out.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
C'MON ELI, DO SOMETHING FOR ME!
Eli gets out of the ring and grabs a steel chair. He gets back in the ring and slams the chair hard on the mat. Giant Tiger turns around but Latrice gets up to the side and grabs the chair. Eli looks at her and yells at her as she yells back. Giant Tiger puts him in a full nelson and that is when Latrice enters the ring. She goes to hit Eli but he is able to get out of the nelson and she hits Tiger in the head with the chair. Eli smiles as she drops the chair. He looks at as he grabs the chair and that is when she quickly exits the ring. Eli turns around and hits Tiger in the head. But he is still standing. That is when he drops the chair and kicks him in the gut and yells out PHILLY SPECIAL!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
He can't do this. He's not strong enough to lift him.
He lifts him about an inch off the mat and drops him head first with The PHILLY SPECIAL! The ref is moving and Eli slides the chair out and covers him.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
WINNER: ELIJAH COPELAND
"Breaking Through" hits the P.A System as Elijah Copeland stands up and gets a huge smile on his face. The ref raises his hand in the air. He looks down at Tiger as Latrice looks on. He gets out of the ring. Latrice gets in the ring as she is checking on her husband. Elijah heads backstage.
The scene opens inside the cell of Tora Nishida. He had a cell phone in his left hand as he was using his right hand to dial a number. He press "call" as he patiently waits for the person that he's calling to answer. The phone could be heard ringing for a few moments before someone answers.
TORA NISHIDA
Are you guys here yet?... good. You didn't have any trouble getting down here?... great. Tonight is an important night, a night that I don't want ruined by Edwards and Ross. So I want you two to make sure you're ready if they try anything before, during, or after my match with Phantom. I don't want ANYONE getting in my way of defeating Phantom and obtaining a point in the tournament... alright then, i'll see you guys soon... okay, goodbye.
Nishida ends the call as he gets up from his bed. He walks over to the Demolition title that was left on the floor in the far right corner of the room. He picks the belt up as he stares down at it. If one were to look closely at Nishida, it would seem like he was staring at the belt with hate in his eyes. He soon turns his attention to the camera.
TORA NISHIDA
Edwards... Ross, you two simpletons have really become a thorn in my side lately and for what? This pathetic excuse for a title belt!? I know the history of the Demolition title, but i don't give a damn. This belt represents what's wrong with sanatorium, it represents idiots like Edwards and Ross that love hardcore wrestling. Which is why at the end of the Shogun tournament, i'm going to officially destroy this piece of garbage and give this place a championship that will have more prestige than the Demolition title. A championship that will mark the beginning of a brand new chapter for Sanatorium as a whole. I have plans for rebuilding this brand and I won't let you two assholes get in my way.
Which is why i want to say... thank you, thank you for making me realize that there is strength in numbers. You attacked me two on one, well now I've decided to tip the odds in my favor. In fact, I want to give a few olive branches out to certain people that i've kept my eyes on that aren't as crazy as everyone else here. I won't say their names, but you'll know who when the time is right. For now, I have a match to prepare for.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following match is for one fall, and is part of the Shogun Tournament!
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.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Weighing in at three hundred forty five pounds, he represents Russia, THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE, PHANTOM!
"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, the orderlies get on the one of the other aprons and shake the jacket and the chains to rile him. Then after that he finally climbs in and taunts the "fans", opponent(s) and the referee. Then after a few moments, he goes outside and grabs one of the chains from an orderly. Then he starts swinging the chain wildly. Then after a few moments, he throws the chain down and then proceeds to stare blankly up the ramp.
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 ♪
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent... he weighs in tonight at two hundred forty six pounds and represents Japan, he is the current reigning Demolition Champion, the Raiju of Sanatorium, TORA NISHIDA!
Tora wastes no time, sliding into the ring as the bell sounds and immediately hitting the far ropes and coming at Phantom with a flying punch. On the attack, Tora goes to work with rights and lefts, rocking Phantom, he goes to Irish whip him and gets reversed right into a goozler chokehold. Phantom throws Tora's arm over his shoulder, moving to try for a chokeslam, but Tora squirms free and nails Phantom in the gut with a kick to free himself. He backs up a few paces and clotheslines Phantom right over the top rope!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
What the fuck is up with these wackos tonight, is it a full moon?!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Actually, right around it.
Tora gets to his feet, going right after Phantom and slamming his head into the ring steps, measuring him and throwing a hard punch. He whips Phantom into the barricade and rolls him back in the ring. Tora turns and throws his hands wide for the crowd, clearly proud of his work-- when Phantom reaches right over the top rope and grabs him by the hair of the head!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Ooohohoh, Tora might be underestimating Phantom's regen time, and that's a bad idea. That's how me and Dash lost the Tag Team Championships in our first reign!
Phantom hauls Tora all the way onto the apron-- Tora fights back with an elbow to the gut and springboards Phantom's throat off the top rope as he drops to his butt on the apron. Phantom is staggered, Tora starts ascending the top rope as fast as possible and quickly splashes Phantom with a crossbody.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
A little too soon to get a serious pin attempt here, but Tora Nishida on the attack and not relenting in his quest to wear down Phantom here tonight.
Phantom uses the corner buckles to pull himself up, Tora follows him throwing fists. A whip out of the corner's countered, Phantom charges in but meets a lifted foot to stagger him. Tora charges out, but Phantom catches him and uses his momentum to vault him up in a military press slam that splats him to the mat. Phantom tries to shake off the cobwebs and keep control, catching Tora as he starts to rise and throwing fists to keep him dazed. He throws Tora out of the ring, grabbing him and slamming his head into the stairs, then picking him up and sending him shoulderfirst into the turnbuckle.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Oh! Could that be Tora's fatal mistake right there?!
Phantom rolls him back into the ring and Tora looks to be in a bit of trouble. Phantom stomps him, whips him into the corner with a followup splash, leaving Tora to drop flat to the mat. Phantom picks him up, throws him in the corner, and starts laying in heavy chops to keep his opponent winded. But Tora dodges under one of the big telegraphed moves, laying in knife-edge chops on Phantom instead. Irish whip reversal, Tora grabs the ropes to keep himself from running into a big clothesline, connecting himself instead with a leaping forearm. Springs off the ropes-- oh, big boot knocks the momentum out of Tora.
Phantom picks up Tora, lifting him to his shoulders-- Tora kicks wildly, escaping, landing on his feet to gut kick Phantom-- enzuigiri topples Phantom in a desperation move.
Both men are exhausted by their efforts. They rise slower, Tora ducking a clothesline and connecting with a high dropkick. Phantom stumbling to the corner, flying forearm from Tora Nishida, following up with the R-Strike bicycle kick!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-- Kickout!
The men stagger to their feet, tired. Tora charges at Phantom, Phantom evading, sending Tora crashing shoulderfirst into the corner turnbuckle. He stumbles back into the waiting grasp of Phantom... Blood of the Soulless black hole slam, and Phantom practically collapses on Tora almost as motionless as he is.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
WINNER: PHANTOM

Of course, this tournament couldn't come down to someone I have no emotional stakes with. I mean, fair enough, I suppose. My brother, well, you're goddamned V, aren't you? Those that know you couldn't be surprised you'd come out on top, you're legendary in your won't-quit determination once something's in your head.
And Kiki... you've been a sleeper threat for a long time, my friend. You just had to change your idea of yourself, believe that you could do more to unlock what's been there all along.
She spreads her hands wide.

If this were any other tournament, I'd be so happy for you. I'd reach out a hand to you, walk with you, cheer you on!
But it had to be the tournament for my Asylum Championship. I fought so hard for it. I earmed it, and I'm not done with it! Neither of you can have it.
Come Shogun... one of you is going to make me hurt you. One of you is going to put yourself on the other side of the line from me. One of you is going down.
And neither of us will ever be the same again.

A chilling ominous version of Itsy Bitsy Spider, the iconic children's melody begins to play, personified by a video of one such spider dangling in webbing glee. Dr.Sly appears at the curtain, his eyes tell the tale of torment sure to follow his every unforgiving whisper. He begins to enlighten the stipulation for the coming Tournament Final. He first walks toward a group not socially distanced with a sign reading "prison pen pals." Then stumbles backward as if on a high wire. Finally, balanced, he speaks softly.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
Inmates and death-spots, welcome to the final! The Warden has authorized me to announce that this match is a weapon wielding match. Meaning, cords dangling from the ceiling entice you, like a web! You never know if the item is a helpful tool, to say- dismember an opponent- OR if it is sabotage, ready to blow up in your soon-to-be-less pretty face. BUT I could not simply do what I was asked. I have a flare for injuries, because I love to fix them. Each wound is like a fresh story, waiting to be written... so I added something to preach to the creativity required by these competitors to win this Tournament TOOOONIGHT! The item hanging throughout this arena, will be from our movie sponsor, the John Hughes Museum of 80s Awesomeness. All item will be gags used in Home Alone 1 or 2.

Oh, thank God.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND

Sly makes his way to the announce table, Hel hides behind Zane, Gia stopped giving a fuck years ago. A special Referee makes his way to the ring, turning out to be Joe Pesci. He passive aggressively waves to the kids, wearing a beanie and sticky bandit gloves, mumbling to himself that the money had better be worth it. He rounds the ring a few times, pretending to be talking to someone, but no one is physically there to threaten.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND

Sleep with one fucking eye open Zane. Well?? Get the fuck on with it!
V stands on the ramp, looking like he has something on his mind. "Christ Copyright" takes hold of the speaker system. V walks down the ring with a scowl, then a shadow cover, then a slight grin. He enters the ring, pausing to look up at the weapon bags suspended all around him.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
V looks determined. He tapped out the Underground Champion to get a dance with Kiki.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
All we really know about V is that he is a badass in the ring. Is that enough? Who cares, Zane?

Van Zant pulls out a big bottle of Tums, popping two in her Dr. Pepper, then nodding as she gulps to go ahead.

ANNND NOW, KIKI KARTHARRRRRRRRRRSIIESSSSS!
"Sleepwalking" blares, Kiki hops out to get the crowd pumped up. She screams then heads to the ring, flipping off the camera playfully on her journey. She sighs at the sight of the weapon surprises, then rolls in opposite the silent V.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
She proved last week that even Copeland and Zane were not enough to keep that title shot away from her. Is V by himself? Or are you going to get involved again, Zane?

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
YOU'RE NOT A FUCKING PARROT!
Zane squawks like one just as Gia chases him off, leaving an awkward eye contact between Sly and Modani.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Great, here we go again- and with weapons everywhere, what could happen?
The bell rings. V gets a final arm stretch in, rounding the edge to get a feel. KiKi pumps her fist high-kick jogging around her own opposing circle. They lock up.
Sly slides into Gia's seat as she again chases Zane somewhere in the background. She tries to distract herself with stellar play by play in her partner's absence.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
They circle and tie up, V flattens out, countering into a laying headlock, Kiki breaks, he reasserts, she forces a rope break here early against conqueror of Sin, V.
Treacherous looking bags still hang all around the ring. Some easier than others to access. Kiki scales using a quick one-two step to ascend the top rope, lunging before dangling from the first weapon cord. She laughs, flipping off the staring on V, as Referee Pesci warns her that falling from that high up really hurts. She rips open the bag as sharp edges fresh factory made green Sanatorium labeled Legos fall out to the floor beneath her. Her joy turns to dread.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
OHHHHHHH MY YESS!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Kiki is left stranded above assorted Legos, just like on the floor in Home Alone, DOC!
She starts to panic, trying eagerly to swing the cord back toward the ring, or somewhere free of the buildable razors from child hell. Suddenly a booklet falls out of instructions for the Legos, a clear picture of the finished product can be seen, it's a picture of Kiki falling onto a Lego covered floor. She cries out in pain, hysterically letting go of the cord as fate intervenes, but V springboards, dropkicking her midair into the cushion covered seats- falling back first onto the Sanatorium Legos below.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
He DID NOT follow instructions!
The instruction booklet floats down to the ground after the collision, V flips it over, revealing the alternate side to be him laying looking at the booklet after falling on the Legos. He tosses it away and crawl backward trying to understand how the bags could have a picture from in the moment in a predesigned Lego configuration.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
Okay, maybe he did...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Why does weird shit inevitably happen when you pop up, Sly?
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
It's a gift. From my mother's side.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Return to sender.
Kiki gets back up, noticing the barrier directly above V's laying head is also directly below another weapon bag. She hops onto a chair, then runs directly straight on the barrier, using V as a double footed springboard to the barrier top, then onto another cord of temptation.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Trying to find an edge on V. He took a spill to stop her from falling-
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
He drop kicked her into the seats, she flew at least ten feet...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Yes but he did not have to sacrifice himself to fall back into them, he could have let her fall!
Another bag falls to the ground, Kiki smirks, sliding on a matching pair of silver plated brass knuckles. She leaps down, just as V acrobatically grabs her incoming head, and head scissors her back over into the Lego covered floor. Kiki screams, arching her back in agony. Zane is chewing a Snickers sitting in a front row seat.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
SEEEEEE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That was not a sacrifice that time... OUCH!
A bag falls from the ceiling attachment holding them in place. Gia laughs, sitting on top with lawn shears in her hands. She starts chopping cords trying to hit Mulholland, having completely lost her shit.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Oh, honey- nooooo.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
Should I diagnose her... mind?
Sly starts to get up, but Hel pulls his arm back down.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
She's fine, it's a long story.
V rolls back into the ring, retrieving one of the bags Gia just chopped. He opens it, then drops it in horror. A mannequin head made to look like his sister Nikki, the Asylum Champion. He retreats, then notices something glimmering in the wooden dummy's mouth. It's a ribbon- pulling endlessly into an old garden box key. He looks around puzzled, then quickly realizes that one of the other bags may have what it opens inside. Kiki recoups outside, peeking at V for momentary visuals of his location. Meanwhile, she is slowly building a weapon out of the Legos on the floor, below V's view from ring center. V exits the opposite side, finding the next bag to open. Kiki puts the finishing pieces on her new Lego sledge, then quietly slides into the ring.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
KIKI IS using her bag after all here, how solid is that thing?
V furiously sorts through another bag below the apron. A loud horrified moan is heard just as Kiki levels him with a tornado wielding Lego sledge-to-the-temple special from the apron above. She smiles, then sees what made him react. She points, dropping the hammer, shaking, as her pupils dilate with shock. Out of the bag, the two turtle dove necklaces from the second movie. Kiki's eyes tear up, as the sentiment comes rushing back. Joe's eyes tear up a little too, begrudgingly, also warning them to keep it in the ring. She sees V still stunned, with one of the doves in his limp hand. Disgusted with herself, she helps him back up, and rolls him into the ring.
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
But, they are just bird necklaces? FINISH HIM!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
You just don't get it, Sly. Both now showing a bit of mercy even as a title shot looms over this weapons brawl. Compassion on the highest level on display in a professional environment here in Sanatorium tonight. I am so proud of these two and what they are show--
Poopsicles fall onto the desk in a sloppy pile. Zane is wearing a parrot head, squatting above the desk while standing on the side barricade where the ring bell sits. Sly shoos him to fly away. Zane turns to run, but does so directly into a large ring announcer sized cage Orderlies have brought out. Gia gleefully slams the door and locks the cross bolt.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Fuck! Satisfied now!? WAIT, WHAT!?
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
WHAT THE FU- WHAT IS THIS, WITCHERY!? BLACK MAGIC??!?
Gia reappears out of breath on the ramp, as she also stands next to the cage staring at Modani. The ramp Van Zant cautiously walks down, jaw dropped at the sight of a doppelganger. Zane flutters around behind them as Orderlies roll his cage to the back. Gia faces Gia as they examine each other. V gets back up, Kiki follows him to the corner, perching his arms then delivering some chops. He withers then responds with valiant resiliency, refusing to let the pain paralyze him even temporarily. Kiki keeps chopping like a lumberjack in heat, but V finally has had enough, and tosses her into the corner as he walks out. He mauls her with mid section kicks and fists of fury.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
V trying to take control for a shot at his sister, meanwhile Gia's are confused, and so are the rest of... us...
Gia touches Gia's face, running her hand down her cheek in disbelief. Gia faints into Gia's arms. Gia lets herself down easy to the ground, then smiles as her eyes flicker all white, then go back to Gia's, almost as if a glitch. The still standing Gia runs up the ring entrance; in the ring, Joe Pesci pulls out his medication calendar to make sure there are actually two Gias and that he didn't just get his days mixed up again.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Weird night to say the least at a place that already isn't exactly... sane? Zane? Oh, hell I don't know anymore. V climbing to the top rope here after vertically slamming Kartharsies down. What's this?? V with a huge frog splash on Kiki! Is V moving on!? Pesci slides his med calendar into his back pocket and slides down... aaaannnd he's... snoring! The ref is out!
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
What a legennnnnd.
V gets impatient and shakes Joe. He loses his cool, heading to another weapon bag to make sure there is no doubt after the Sticky Bandit's nap. He then hops in the air tossing the bag, out pops a red hot battery powered clothes iron. He curses and paces back and forth in burnt torment. He squeezes the turtle dove necklace, then tosses it at Kiki. She gets to her knee just before and catches it, looking at it, then at him with welled up tears in her eye ducts.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That is some coooollld ass shit.
V picks up the handle of the iron, tossing it at Kiki, who ducks out of the way, it nails the waking Joe Pesci in the face as he squeals, falling over the top rope like a full fledged Home Alone movie hijink. Kiki rolls propelling back up and into a clutched face buster on the unsuspecting V. She stomps him angrily for resorting to involving the doves, then gets him up for a finishing touch.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Alarm Bells jumping face buster by Kiki who has all the momentum now!
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY

He's NOT A BIRD! OH MY GOD. I am turning into Gia! THEY'LL BE THREE OF US! NO! DOC, HELP!
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
I can help you, we have wonderful shock tables, they get resemblances in under 8 sessions usually completing erased... well, most of the time. At least... 30% or so?
Kartharsies positions V, then goes for a Maniacal Twister tap out. Pesci's dirty knuckles can be seen grasping the ring apron from below. He rolls back in with a giant burnt iron imprint on his forehead.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Uh- ya know- I, uh, should be okay... it was just a... minute... thing- Kiki with that Chicken Wing maneuver from last week! It helped her fend off Elijah Copeland!
V's eyes light up with rage, trying anything he can not to tap out to one of his idols, Pesci. He breaks the hold with brute strength, but Kiki turns him around into a triangle arm bar submission instead. His frustration starts to show, Getting to a seated 90 degree position he lifts the lighter Kiki, slamming her from high to break the hold.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Kiki pulling out the stops to win this match!
The Scream Queen rolls over in pain, V slides out, grabbing the last bag Gia had cut down trying to hit Zane. He opens it, pulling out Buzz's giant tarantula. He whips the bag toward the grounded Kiki, as the spider crawls up her shoulder and across her face. The shot from above of her open mouthed terror mirrors the Daniel Stern scene as she sits up with force, launching the spider into the seats. Pesci pauses from the flashbacks, V hops over him, curb stomping Kiki as she tried to get back up. V sighs soaking in the brutal nature of such a vindictive move. He makes peace with needing to do whatever he has to in order to win. Grinning triumph takes over his mood and expression. He cowers back to the corners, bouncing holding the ropes. Kiki comes to and begins to move, bracing herself with her arms on all fours.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Not like this! V! NO IT WON'T BE AS GOOD LIKE THIS, YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS!
SANATORIUM INFIRMARY PHYSICIAN | DR.SLY
DO IT! FINISHHHH HER! DON'T LISTEN TO THIS! I CAN REBUILD HER, MAKE HER BETTER!
V embraces the demons and curb stomps Kiki again with intense enthusiasm. Her limp body rolls perfectly into a pin-able position. He covers her as the blankness of what he just did consumes his look. Pesci looks concerned but still counts, motioning for Doctors after a quick 1-2-3 three to get her instant help. V's music plays as he sits in a trance. Sly slides in the ring as his Infirmary medics and Orderlies try to revive Kartharsies.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
V has won the tournament, and will get a shot at the title Nikki, his sister, HOLDS! But we are still left with questions, how were there two Gia's, what was with all the weird shit in this match!? IS KIKI OKAY!? WHY V, WHY!?
V gets up not even smiling, Nikki walks out onto the ramp with her arms crossed. They magnetically lock eyes.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
THERE SHE IS! IT'S OFFICIAL! V VERSUS NIKKI FOR THE ASYLUM CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Hel tosses her headset to help the recovering fainted Gia up. The screen shows an image then goes fuzz.
