The wicked synths of Marilyn Manson's "Don't Chase The Dead" greet us right out of the gate, and our first visual is the man himself dressed to the shock-goth nines in the grand lobby of the Baker Hotel, performing live. He cradles the mic like a lover, rasp-growling the darkly romantic lyrics.
♪ I got my tickets to Hell.
I know you so well,
And I know you wanna be there too.. .♪
The camera whirls in the dim velvet grandeur of the scene, and we cut to Chucky Ross and Jonathan Edwards fighting on the roof of the Sanatorium in an episode past. Tora Nishida drops the Demolition Title disgracefully.
♪ If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow

Gabe Reno returns as the Outsider, wickedly burning V's old home and gym to the ground. Nikki Caldwell approaches him from behind, nailing him with the I of the Storm and holding her Asylum Championship proudly.

A collage of cuts of the long cat-and-mouse game of Belladonna Hunter and Chris Matthews, starting in multiman tag and culminating in individual attacks. Chris shouts from outside the Sanatorium walls. Belladonna jumps him on Dystopia. We see closeups of their faces as they each sign the contract to this match with grim finality.

Footage of Christy Winters' career building up through the Sanatorium rebirth. Several clips of her calling out the Warden for a meeting. We see them on AceTV, where Ace suggests the match. Eden hesitates... then accepts!

We whirl again, and return magically to the Baker's lobby, Manson with his microphone, the double-story high arched ceiling overhead with the twin hundred-year-old hanging wrought iron chandeliers punctuating the scene.
♪ If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow ♪
We race backwards visually, zooming way out through the front doors and taking in the hulking structure herself. The view raises drone-like to the Seventh Floor, which illuminates red with neon strip-lighting. Ghostly figures dance in couples elegantly through the windows.
♪ Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you ♪
We whirl again, and we're live. One of the interviewers for the promotion, "The Ace of WWH" Ace Michaels is seen standing outside dressed very warmly since it is bone chilling cold outside. He looks right into the camera.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Hello there, WWH universe! I'm Ace Michaels, and I am here standing right outside of the spooky and eerie Baker Hotel in Serenity, California. A show called Ghost Adventures taped an episode right here. I'm here to tell you all about the Main Event and it's called the Haunted Escape Room Elimination Match, and it will take place on the seventh floor of this historical building . So, here's how it works. Follow me!
The camera crew along with Mr. Michaels is seen walking inside of the creepy Baker Hotel as he is seen being given a piece of paper to explain the match. They are seen good up to the seventh floor, the site of the match. He looks at the piece of paper.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
The rules are as follows.
The camera lets the fans see a condensed version of Ace's words on the screen.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
At the beginning of the show, each contestant will be locked in one of the 12 Escape Rooms. Over the course of the night, they must work the puzzles to escape the room. Those that escape in time will be taken to the top floor of the hotel to compete in an elimination match in the main event. If you are interested to know who the participants in the Main Event are, they are as follows.
The screen shows the variety of competitors going into this match. Aaron Jones, Abby Evans, Gothica Skylight, Spooky Scary Skeletons, John Blade, Kiera Katharsies, Lobos de la Muerte, Mya Denton, Phantom, and Sarah Lynn.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
So, that's how the match will be going to happen. Before we go to the color commentary team of Gia Van Zant and Hel Modani, we get to speak with one of the Escape Room competitors Aaron Jones, and also Christy Winters who is facing Warden Eden. Good luck to all in the pay per view.
Cameras go inside of an escape room with Aaron standing by with the microphone in hand with fans booing him as Aaron smirks, shrugging off all the boos he got from his lack of fan base he has. He spits on the floor before talking to the camera crew from a few steps back.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
So many worthless idiots caring so much about wrestling like there aren't other jobs out there to beat the fuck out of someone like MMA for an example is a far better sport than the flip flop shit. Nobody should ever support this wrestling hating insanity because I'm doing everything to make sure that I'm making wrestling a piece of trash sport it is and making people laugh and mock this sport to a whole new level because I can and I will.
Massive amount of boos due to most likely being the most hated wrestler on the planet. He wipes sweat from his forehead before continuing where he left off.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
So we got a lot of idiots who aren't worth my time, especially ones I've beaten before. In fact, the ones beaten before are the only wrestlers in this match I've fought, up until today that is. I get to learn more about other wrestlers, especially the heavyweight wrestlers who can throw me around all they want, but it still wouldn't stop me from crushing the sport to its knees and never be known from existence ever again. If I ever win a title, I'll piss and take a shit on the title belts because they mean fuckall to me, despite what I said about the champion who ironically said nothing about the match which is disappointing and not worthy of being the Underground champion.
Aaron smirks as he was booed from the fans inside of the house and the way Aaron likes it.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
Did that touch a raw nerve in some people that I'd use a title as a toilet? Too bad because I don't need to win titles which are only props to be the best wrestler in the world. I'll be the best by beating every single motherfucker on the Asylum roster, and once I do and remove the filth, I will burn the wrestling business alive with a lighter. I place the match in the wrestling ring and wait for the wrestling ring and wrestling arena as a whole to explode. You wrestlers will say goodbye to your loveable sport when I win this match because I continue to win to make wrestling a complete insult to all sports around the world that deserve more money than wrestling gets across the world.
Aaron has a huge smile on his face, and nobody so far has been able to stop Aaron from accomplishing to remove wrestling permanently.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
The end of the day, I know who my opponents are, and I'm not going to name them because you lot aren't idiots to know who I'll be facing tonight, but I like new and crazy stuff like this, especially weapons involved and this is the only sport that allows me to attack wrestlers with a weapon without being arrested for it. Nobody in this match is going to walk away as the winner. Because I'm the only one who's been consistent and winning, despite the two losses I've had since I been here, this match is easily going to be gifted to me, being unable to face pressure and unable to be as violent as I can be by battering the hell out of everyone and not be able to stop, until when we had enough. Tonight, The Insane One is walking away from this match against nine other opponents to win this match.
Aaron walks back to the room the warden's assigned him to as the cameras go elsewhere backstage to see Christy Winters ready for whatever her plans are in a few minutes.
Back at the Sanatorium, Christy is leaning against the wall of her cell.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Eden deep down you know you don’t want to fight me tonight, which makes me wonder why you chose to in the first place. You’ve read my file so you know the things I’ve done and the horrible things I’m capable of. This whole thing started with me making my requests to you on Ace T.V and it’s ending here tonight, Eden I don’t want to hurt you, but you’ve brought this on yourself, I can’t go easy on you, that would get everyone thinking the match is fixed.
Christy taps the wall.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Eden don’t take what I do tonight personal it isn’t, it just what I have to do, I can’t have myself looking weak, in front of the viewing audience, but I do ask for one thing Eden after our match tonight grant me my conjugal visit, and I promise to never ask again.
Christy walks to the cell door.
CHRISTY WINTERS
See you out there Warden.

The following match is for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at one hundred twenty five pounds, hailing from Long Beach, California, she is CHRISTY WINTERS!
Cannibal Corpse's "Make Them Suffer" plays as we come to the arena. 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.
The opening beat of Bali Baby's "Big Bad Wolf" hits the speakers.

And her opponent! Weighing in at one hundred twenty three pounds, hailing from Olympia, Washington... The Warden, EDEN DUBOIS!
The confidence in the words of her chosen entrance music almost seem to mock the woman who appears. Eden is uncertain looking, despite the spikes on the shoulder-padded bra top she wears as gear along with black spandex hot pants. She rolls out her wrists, then proceeds down the ramp determinedly.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
We're about to see the boss of the show get demolished here in the opening bout, not sure what that'll do for employee morale.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Around here? Wonders!
We see Eden Dubois stretching and trying to mentally prepare for the match at hand. Then we see Christy Winters just staring daggers at Eden and not really moving a whole heck of a lot. The referee walks up to Eden and informs her that they need to do the pre-match check for anything foreign or “illegal.”
THE WARDEN | EDEN DUBOIS
Get it done.
Then the referee nods and does so cautiously and carefully. Aftera few moments, they finish up as Eden goes back to stretching and preparing for everything once the action starts. The referee can now be seen walking to Christy Winters to do the pre-match check. The referee motions to Christy Winter that they need to do the pre-match check.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Don’t you look tasty?
Then the referee looks at her like what the hell is wrong with you. Then they start to do the check as Christy appears to change rather quickly.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Thank you very much.
Then the referee nods cautiously as they go to one of the corners and signals for the bell and the start of this interesting encounter. They start to lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up. After a few moments, somehow Eden has gained an advantage and does a Hair Pull Snapmare to bring Christy to the mat and into a seated position. Then Eden starts to run the ropes when like a cat Christy pops back up and stares Eden dead in the eyes and this causes Eden to stop in her tracks.
CHRISTY WINTERS
And what do you think you’re doing?
Then Eden tries to run but gets grabbed by the hair. The referee informs Christy to let go of the Warden’s hair. Christy continues to hold onto the hair as the referee begins a count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Christy lets go of Eden’s hair once the referee has reached the count of four. But as Eden tries to escape, Christy grabs Eden’s right arm and tosses her to the mat with a Japanese Arm Drag. Then Christy attempts to leap onto Eden with a Jumping Knee Drop but Eden at the last possible moment rolls out of the way as Christy’s knee hits the mat.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oooh, close evasion there by the boss!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
The only things I'm seeing so far as advantages for Eden here are that they weigh at least nearly the same, though Eden has a lot more reach, and that she's quick.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
True, this hasn't been quite the mauling I was anticipating yet. But the night is young!
As Christy can be seen clutching her knee, the referee can also be seen checking to see if she can continue. With this happening, Eden decides to try running the ropes once more while her opponent is down. She does so and then launches herself towards Christy with both feet directed at Christy’s face in a double footed kick of sorts. Eden’s feet hit Christy square in the face as she goes down onto the mat. Eden proceeds to cover her as the referee makes the count…
ONE!
Christy immediately kicks out as the referee only manages to get to a count of one. Then Eden takes a few steps and tries to charge at Christy with another kick of sorts but instead of impacting her opponent in the way she intended, she gets caught.
CHRISTY WINTERS
We are done playing this game of cat and mouse! It’s time to really have some fun.
GIA
Ooh, uh oh!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Can Christy make good on those words though?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Probably.
Then she throws Eden onto her shoulders in what appears to be a Fireman’s Carry. Eden tries to squirm out but Christy just proceeds to slam her into the mat with a Samoan Drop. Then she goes for a pin by hooking Eden’s near leg. The referee sees this and makes the count…
ONE!
TWO!
Eden somehow manages to kick out as the referee makes the count of two. Christy looks up at the referee and motions that should have been three. The referee looks at Christy and tells her that it was only two. As this exchange happens, Eden slowly has gotten up to her feet by using the ropes. As she has, Christy sees that Eden has gotten up to a standing position. Christy tries to charge at Eden with a Body Block but somehow Eden manages to dodge out of the way as Christy misses and hits the corner with a thunderous impact.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
OWWW! Those corners hurt so much more than they look like, take it from me. I was shocked at how bad it was the first time I hit one. The padding ain't crap on those buckle covers and there's just zero give in the ropes that close to the bolts, unlike the middle area you hit when you run them.
Then Eden looks around and runs at Christy, who is still in the corner and performs a Back Handspring Elbow Strike to her. This causes Christy to slump out of the corner and onto the mat in prime position for an aerial move. Eden starts to head outside onto the apron and cautiously climbs to the top turnbuckle. Then once she has her balance, she launches herself off and performs a beautiful Shooting Star Press.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Ooooh! Wow! Who'd have thought she had it in her--
But instead of impacting Christy Winter’s body like she had originally thought, Christy suddenly pops up and performs a Cutter to her.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
AND SHE CRASHES AND BURNS!
As Eden’s face impacts the mat, Christy gets up and starts to pound the mat a few times before she just walks up to Eden and slaps Eden’s head.
CHRISTY WINTERS
I told you that you would like messing with me, “Warden.” Now prepare to die!
Then she violently grabs Eden into a Front Facelock before motioning the end by doing the cutthroat motion. She proceeds to pick up into a Vertical Suplex position before quickly and violently dropping her to the mat with her signature Brainbuster. She goes to pick up Eden once more but the referee stops her to see if Eden can go on.
CHRISTY WINTERS
Fuck this, let me end this!
Then Christy just shoves the referee out of the way and proceeds to shove Eden in between her legs and proceeds to perform her finisher, Severe Brain Trauma! She covers Eden in such a way that suggests sexual tension as the referee makes the count…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Well, the execution's over.
Then the bell sounds as "Make Them Suffer" by Cannibal Corpse plays over the PA as the referee raises Christy’s hand in victory as Stephen Quinn and some orderlies can be seen coming out to help Eden get out of the ring.
WINNER VIA PINFALL: CHRISTY WINTERS
The scene comes up outside of the Sanatorium building. Chris Matthews is seen walking through the gates and looks at the place where he used to be. It is like a haunting experience to be back at this place, but it’s going to the final resting place for Hunter. Chris Matthews’s destiny awaits, his revenge for what she said will be complete. But to get away, he has to beat her and show her that he’s the man. He stops dead in his tracks and wearing a black t-shirt, sneakers, and black tinted shades. What awaits him in the building will be horror, the horror that awaits both fighters, but also the horror of having to leave WWH for good. But Chris has more experience in the cell and knows what to expect from it, but Hunter doesn’t. She doesn’t know and that gives Chris the edge.
THE LEGEND OF THUNDER CHRIS MATTHEWS
Tonight, your career in the WWH ends. I ain’t going to show you any mercy because you don’t deserve it. You see, I put the loser leaves WWH because I don’t want to see your ugly face around here anymore. You said it yourself, Hunter. You said, you’ll go down in a blaze of glory. Which means you sealed your fate. You’re already telling yourself that you lost this match. Which doesn’t shatter me one bit. Fact is, there will be no glory for you or anyone that you trust. You can’t get help, because we’re trapped inside that monster that’s going to surround us.
He gives off a half-hearted smirk while taking off his shades.
THE LEGEND OF THUNDER CHRIS MATTHEWS
Now, I’m not a beating man, Hunter, but your odds of beating me is zero to none. Tell you, I didn’t want to be in those shoes of yours. But ain’t that how it works? Do you think you even have a shot knowing what awaits us? Thing is, you never been inside of this cell, I have. I know what to expect from it. I know how far to go to secure the victory. Tonight your career is over and when I beat you, you will fall in line, you will shake my hand, and you will respect me. If you don’t, then it’s going to get a lot worse for you. Say your final goodbyes, Hunter. Because this is the end for you.
We cut to the scene that is seen taking place inside of the cold and spooky Baker Hotel in Serenity, California where the GrindHouse pay per view is due to be taking place at. One of the participants in the Main Event Haunted Escape Room Elimination match is the lady who is known in the WWH fed as "The Gothic Princess" Gothica Skylight. She's going there waiting for someone to give her the puzzle for her to solve.
THE GOTHIC PRINCESS | GOTHICA SKYLIGHT
I'm so excited to be making my pay per view debut but ever since I came to The Baker Hotel, this place has been giving me the spooky creeps. I'm going to try to do the very best that I can in the Main Event. I want to wish everyone in the match the very best of luck. Let's rock!
Suddenly, she heard her door knocking. It was one of the orderlies giving her the puzzle that's needed to be solved. She thanked the person, took the puzzle to the lighted up table and started to try to solve the puzzle as the pay per view was going to the next match.
As we see the cage lowered and the ring attendants start prepping the cage for the fire we have Ring Announcer Zane Mullholland already in the ring....
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Making their way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada this the Lady Huntress BEEEELLLAAAADONNNNNNAAAA HUUUUNNNNNNTTTTTEERRRR!!
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. Right behind her is her manager and bodyguard Hellion. They walk on down to the ring ignoring the fans. Belladonna starts trash talking to the fans making Hellion smile at her. When they get to the ring, Hellion opens the ring ropes for her and she thanks him. The duo are in the ring and as she is seen evilly smiling, Hellion talks to her about her match and she lets him know that she wants to hurt her opponent really badly with her evil smile still present on her face. The two look over the cage as the fire starts to engulf parts of the cage...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Well this match is going to be very intense, I can feel the heat from the ring already,,,
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Yeah this is what these two asked for and this is going to be a very dangerous match for both of them. The fire can damage the skin instantly causing severe burns and blisters....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Great points....
The camera circles around in the ring. You can see Sona Raylee standing in the middle ring awaiting to announce the competitor. The lights are blue and white and we see them moving around in the arena. Just then “Judas” by Fozzy hits the P.A. System. The crowd starts to sing to the song.
Chris is seen coming out and he stares at the fans for a few seconds. He’s wearing a loose leather jacket, black wrestling tights with silver on it, black wrestling knee pads, and black and silver boots.
CROWD
You are beautiful on the inside
You are innocence personified
And I will drag you down and sell you out
Run away
He then spreads his arms as the fog shoots up while at the same time the crowd continues to sing.
CROWD
I am cold like December snow
I have carved out this soul made of stone
And I will drag you down and sell you out
He begins to walk down the ramp as sparklers from the side start going off.
CROWD
Embraced by the darkness, I'm losing the light
Encircled by demons, I fight
What have I become, now that I've betrayed
Everyone I've ever loved, I pushed them all away
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
“On his way to the ring, weighing in at TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN POUNDS. He hails from GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN! He is CHRRRRRRIIISSSSSS MATTHEWSSSSSSSS!!!!
He continues to walk down the ramp. He eventually walks towards the ring and starts to climb them. He enters the ring and walks around them for a bit.
CROWD
And I have been a slave to the Judas in my mind
Is there something left for me to save
In the wreckage of my life, my life
The song fades, but the crowd continues to sing after it dies down.
CROWD
I'm becom-, I'm becom-, I'm becoming
I'm becom-, I'm becom-, I'm becoming
Judas in, Judas in my mind
I'm becom-, I'm becom-, I'm becoming
I'm becom-, I'm becom-, I'm becoming
Judas in, Judas in my mind
Judas in my mind
He takes off his leather jacket and throws it out of the ring.
The cage door is closed and locked and finally we are set to go. Doctor Paige Matthews and Nurse Zoey Madison are at ringside to tend to the injuries as soon as possible knowing full well that this match is probably going to go south pretty quickly.
Belladonna quickly goes after Matthews peppering his face with lefts and rights, backing him into a corner. She uses one of her long legs to choke Matthews at the throat with her boot. The ref really can't do anything since the rules are all “meh” for the match. Matthews, always thinking the match out, does the one thing that will equal out a move like that: a straight punch right to the vagina...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Ummm people that do that should just not be allowed near children...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
But it's well within the rules of the match....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Doesn't make it any more right...
Matthews stumbles away gasping for air as Hunter is well lying on the mat grabbing her vagina in pain. Matthews is finally regaining his senses and pulls Hunter up by the hair and whips her into the ropes and on the return nails a textbook dropkick, nearly landing on Belladonna on the follow through. Matthews gets up quickly and goes right on the attack dropping a knee to the forehead of Belladonna, she grabs her head in pain and then Matthews drops another. Belladonna is rolling on the mat in pain. Matthews stands over Belladonna and nails a standing shooting star press and makes a cover...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Not gonna win that way pal....gotta get Hunter on fire somehow...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
You'd think that he would know that...
Matthews looks at the ref who is simply standing there waiting for one of them to get caught on fire. Matthews jaws with the ref a bit and then turns his attentions back to Belladonna who is now starting to get to her feet. Just as she does Matthews with a vicious clothesline that drops her to the mat hard. Matthews goes to pick her up again for a belly to back suplex but she lands on her feet and drops Matthews with a beautiful superkick right on the button. Matthews stumbles towards the flames and we are still waiting for the fire to get to 500 degrees but Matthews can feel the heat and moves away from the flames with a terrified look on his face and then runs at Hunter who nails a hip toss and then a dropkick that sends Matthews to the mat.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
This match has gone back and forth and you can see the insanity that is driving both of these two to do things that they might not normally do just to win the match.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Well when you have a match like the cage, fire, things are bound to get out of control...
Matthews is grabbing his back in pain and starts to get to his feet and we see on the LED screens that the fire has indeed reached 500 degrees which now means that things are about to get a lot hotter. Matthews and Hunter both see it on the screen and Hunter goes right after Matthews again with kicks to the gut and then a spinning backfist that causes Matthews to stagger backwards towards the flaming cage and Hunter grabs Matthews by the back of the head and pushes as hard as she can to get his face on fire. You can see the fear and desperation in the eyes of Matthews as he struggles to keep his face away from the fire. Hunter bitchslaps the back of the head of Matthews a couple of times then tries to push Matthews head into the flames again but she isn't really getting anywhere since Matthews actually has all the leverage to push back along with the mass and she has to give up the attack and instead she steps back and kicks Matthews square in the balls. Matthews falls to the mat in pain grabbing his boys....
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Turn about is fair play....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
What it s it with these two and going after the reproductive organs?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
He had it coming...
Hunter snapmares Matthews over and then applies a rear chinlock and then drives a series of elbows into the top of the head of Matthews and after a couple of strikes a small trickle of blood can be seen running down the face of Matthews. She grabs Matthews and then nails the Belladonna Stomp but that really is moot as there are no pinfalls and the ref points towards the flames and Hunter pulls Matthews up and starts to drag him over to the fire this time choosing to try and put the arm of Matthews in the fire...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
This could cause some major burns...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Good thing the medical team is on standby...
Matthews' arm gets closer and closer, the fans are in a fever pitch and you can see the deranged look in the eyes of Belladonna as she pulls at the arm. Belladonna is close but at the last second Matthews seems to snap to and steps towards Belladonna, pulls his arm free and then wraps his arms around Hunter and nails a belly to belly suplex and then runs leaps off the ropes and nails a springboard lionsault. He yells out and then pulls Belladonna to her feet and then runs her face first into the cage but not the fire and then runs her face across the aluminum mess of the cage, causing Hunter to scream in agony and then he slams her face into the cage a second time and now Hunter is bleeding from the forehead. The blood is now flowing down the face of both of them and Matthews signals that this is it and pins the right arm of Hunter behind her and then pushes her face and chest towards the fire and her arm and some of her hair catch fire, the sleeve of his ring gear starts to burn and her hair can be seem smoking as Matthews refuses to release her. Hunter is screaming in pain and the ref signals for the bell and then stagehands immediately unlock the door and the medics and Nurse Zoey rush the ring and put out the fire and tend to the wounds of Hunter....

And that is it Hunter is gone from the company...

Well it probably won't be the last we see of her as she is dating Blake Anderson but still Hunter looks like a mess and Matthews doesn't look very good either...
WINNER VIA FLAMBÉ: CHRIS MATTHEWS
Matthews stumbles through the cage and down the steps and then up the ramp as his music blares....
Back at the Baker Hotel-- we see the Spooky Scary Skeletons in a dark, nondescript room. Mike Lavicle & Hugh Merus are rather humorously blindfolded across what one would assume are the eyeholes of their skeleton costumed masks. Their hands are tied behind the chairs they are sat upon. Their legs bound as well. Indeed, nothing about their particular escape room predicament would be revealed until it was officially time for them to escape. Luckily for us, and unfortunately for the orderlies, the Skellie Bois mouths were still free to speak. And thus when an audible signal was initiated, they knew it was their time to introduce themselves to the Grindhouse audience.
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
Hullo boys and ghouls! It is I, Mike Lavicle…
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
And his jovial brother in arms, however restrained at this moment, Hugh Merus!
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
...and we are the Spooky Scary Skeletons! Now we realize that many of you may be seeing our faces for the very first time! After all, this is our debut on the big stage, a coming out party if you will!
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
And we really know how to have a FRIGHTFULLY good time!
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
That being said, we also understand the very dangerous nature of our current predicament! After all, here we are, bound and all but gagged. While many of our opponents you will be introduced to are probably already working diligently to escape their confinements and get a head start up towards the Cloud Room.
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
My brother and I may be a lot of things. But one thing we are not are cheaters! No sir! As a matter of fact, that is PRECISELY why I have insisted upon these trappings being foisted upon us. Because I didn’t want there to be even an OUNCE of doubt as to how impeccable our abilities are to solve this puzzle, escape to the 7th floor of the Baker Hotel and systematically eliminate each and every one of our opponents. Fair and square!
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
...Wait a minute. These restraints were YOUR idea?! You told me these were required!
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
Indeed! We must uphold the image of utmost legitimacy for when I eventually go on to win the Haunted Escape Room Match and claim the grand prize for all our little Spook Troopers out there!
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
Spook Troopers. That’s what we’re calling our fans? Spook Troopers?
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
Would you prefer...Boner Bros? I’ve got like a dozen of these.
SAGE OF THE DIVINERS | MIKE LAVICLE
N-No. It’s...fine. Look! Regardless of these...totally optional handicaps we’ve placed upon ourselves. There’s one thing we have that none of our opponents possess. You see, everyone else here at Grindhouse is stuck in a Haunted Escape Room Match right here, at the Baker Hotel. While Merus and I...are completely at home. Where ghosts and goblins gather around every corner and crevice. Even those who purport to be denizens of darkness like Phantom or our good friends the Lobos De La Muerte...they have to be afraid of not just their opponents, but any number of other dangers present within these walls. While Hugh and I? Well...we’re Kings of the Spook. There’s nothing in this hotel that we haven’t seen, conversed with or befriended from this life or the next. So while Aaron Jones or Abby Evans are pissing themselves wondering what’s real and what’s fiction...we’re already prepared to do what it takes to win this match regardless of distraction or detraction. After all...there’s nothing to fear but fear itself.
THE COUNT OF CATS | HUGH MERUS
And those aren’t just words from any dead guy! That comes straight from a dead president! And there’s nothing scarier than a dead president! Right Georgie?
Out from the darkness a spectral figure steps into the light. Wearing old colonial vestments, its passage seems to allow Mike Lavicle and Hugh Merus to be let free of their bonds and blindfolds. The movement happens so fast that the camera can hardly capture the likeness of one George Washington before he disappears back from whence he came. Only his spooky spectral voice echoing throughout the room.
GEORGE WASHINGTON?
I cannot tell a lie, this is going to be the SPOOKIEST showdown of all time! Good luck boys! Mwahahahahahaha!
The camera shows Sarah Lynn in her escape room.
SARAH LYNN
I’ve talked about it before but I need to talk about it again. One of the funniest things about being in an asylum is how gossip spreads and eventually reaches the wrong person. Earlier today a staff member who didn’t know who I was walked up to me and said “Have you seen the bets being made against Sarah Lynn?” Out of curiosity I said I hadn’t so he talked more. “If she can solve the puzzle in her Escape Room then she can make one phone call. If she can eliminate at least one person from the Elimination Match then she can have one visitor. If she can win the Elimination Match then she can have a Day Pass and go outside the asylum.” After the staff member finished talking I then smiled and thanked him.
Smile Lynn smiles.
SARAH LYNN
With the future of my life being decided by gambling I want everyone to know that I’m not afraid of going into this match. In fact I feel even more motivated to win it. I now feel sorry for everyone else in it having to face me knowing that I’ve got everything to win now.
Sarah Lynn laughs as the camera fades.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following night is for the Asylum Championship. Introducing first, the challenger... he weighs in at two hundred forty pounds and hails from SoHo, New York City... he is THE NAMELESS, V!
Nothing More's 'Christ Copyright' assaults the loudspeakers. V walks to the fucking ring.
The crowd begins to rise as the opening of In This Moment's "Comache" hits the PA system. The Amazon appears on the stage, wearing a black and red leather hooded ring jacket with jutting scale-armor style shoulders, the Asylum Championship around her waist. Wardog Roo, a French Mastiff, unrestrained and heeling at her side.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent, she is the current reigning and defending Asylum Champion... weighing in at one hundred forty seven pounds, hailing from Los Angeles, California.... THE AMAZON, NIKKI CALDWELL!
Will you come with me?

She strides to the top of the ramp and stops as the lights all hone in on her from different angles. She whips the hood back to reveal her face, stained with warpaint, and lets out a long war scream as audience members and Roo join her!
Come on, get up
Let me hear your war cry!
Let me hear your war cry!
Nikki leaves Roo off leash at ringside and climbs through the ropes and runs to the opposite corner, jumping up onto the ropes and raising a fist, enjoying some of the reaction from the crowd before jumping back down. She hands her belt off to the referee and removes her jacket, quickly squaring off with her gameface to ready for her opponent.

Has WWH ever had a brother and sister face off? Chris and Paige? Victoria and Vincent?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Not sure, if so it must've been before my time.
The two circle and lock up. Even though V could theoretically overpower her, he drop toeholds her instead out of nowhere, falling into a grounded front facelock-- Nikki takes control of the arm and they both roll out of it and back to their feet. They pace, shouting back and forth. Another lockup, V takes the headlock, Nikki pushes him to the ropes, irish whip and V shoulder blocks Nikki down. He hits the perpendicular ropes, Nikki first tries to trip him, makes her feet and leapfrogs his next pass, Nikki off the ropes now, V ducks low for a charge, Nikki rolls over his back and meets him turning with a leaping back kick that takes him off his feet.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
That opening took the breath out of me just to keep up with it.
V backs off, reassessing the situation, and then the pacing begins again. They look to lock up again but V punts her in the gut, headlock takeover, he keeps the hold on the ground and tries to wrench some of the spirit out of his little sister.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
No mercy in V here tonight.
Nikki fights up to her feet, starts throwing elbows-- bam, V nails a dropkick on the smaller competitor just to be flashy. Rollup.
ONE!

V gets up, circling slow-- and shouldn't have underestimated his little sis because she comes to her feet with a spin kick out of nowhere that plants him back to the ground. V uses the ropes to climb to his feet-- Nikki hits the opposite and charges him with a high crossbody-- he drops and pulls the top rope with him, sending her to the outside.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
She almost had him there!
V rolls to the floor to retrieve her after catching hsi breath, and it's exchanged shots. He takes the lead, and almost plants Nikki's face into the ring steps-- she plants her foot on the steps instead and sends his face into them hard!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI

Taking advantage, she grabs him and splays him over the barricade, rolls in the ring and gestures to the crowd-- guillotine leg drop! She rolls him in the ring and into a cover.

I wasn't expecting to root for her, to be honest. She should've dropped this belt when she left. But I kinda am here. Is it the underdog smaller competitor thing?
She's picking him up, goes to ram his head into the corner-- counter, she goes to the corner and he hits those hambone punches to regain control. Into the opposite corner and he charges-- she shoots an elbow and boosts herself up using the turnbuckle and whatever she was going for is countered as he throws her to the outside. She hits the guardrail on the way down.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Oww!
V is shaking off the cobwebs at first it looks like he'll wait on her, but finally he rolls out and lifts her to drop her spinefirst on the barricade. He picks her up by the hair and rolls her back in.
ONE!
TWO!
She stays alive. He locks in a headlock, grinding the air out of her. The crowd has begun to take sympathy on Nikki as she tries to fight the much larger bulk of her brother. She escapes finally via some elbows to the gut, hits a couple punches before hitting the ropes and taking him down with a clothesline. He gets back up, swings a lariat of his own, and she ducks to hit him with a kick from underneath. The crowd pops for it. She ascends the turnbuckle, moonsault!

Nikki's getting tired. V pulls himself up in a corner and Nikki charges-- he dodges-- she jumps and lands on her feet on the second buckle-- he clubbers her in the back a couple times, hooks her by the neck, and delivers a devastating neckbreaker from up high.

V's holding his back as well. The neckbreaker delivered with such force that it stunned V.

V stalks Nikki as she rises achily. Clotheslining her right back down. Then again.

Somebody get security! Oh my god!
Security finally floods in, a wall of bodies protecting the new Asylum Champion from the weapon-wielding madwoman who wants her title back!
The scene comes up inside the basement of the Sanatorium, and there was just one light bulb shining. Edwards is walking into the light and wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black loose-fitting workout pants, and black sneakers. Tonight is the night where he looks to capture the Demolition Championship. He knows that Tora and Chucky are going to put up a fight, and that's something that Jonathan Edwards is looking for, and wants to fight them, knowing they are at their best because if he beats them, then he'll prove to be the greatest champion of all time.
YOUR SAVIOR | JONATHAN EDWARDS
Since that first attack, I have told myself that I will prove to the world that I'm the rightful person to win tonight. Day in and day out, I go out there and prove to everyone that I'm the one man that can bring honor to this division.
He put his hands in his pocket as he gives off a slight smirk.
YOUR SAVIOR | JONATHAN EDWARDS
The best part about this match is that you two can escape your destiny. My destiny is tonight, and I'm going to walk out with that title. Why? Because I can bring honor and dignity to this division. Does Ross win? He leaves it in darkness. Does Tora win? He destroys the legacy of the Demolition championship. If I win? I show the world that I am the savior of this division. Tonight, I will put everything I have and more on the line to prove how good I am.
He raises his arms and tilts his head a bit.
YOUR SAVIOR | JONATHAN EDWARDS
And you two will come to realize that when it's announced, AND NEW WWH DEMOLITION CHAMPION...JONATHAN EDWARDS! And you two will finally learn to STAY DOWN!
As the first match for the fate of the Demolition Title is about to begin, someone runs down to the ring and enters the steel cage with a piece of paper in his hand. He walks up to Sanatorium ring announcer Zane Mulholland and hands him the paper. Both men seem to talk to one another and it looks like it is about to be a shouting match until the other man is waved off. He exits the ring and heads to the back, just in time too as Nishida is the first person to make his entrance.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is a triple threat steel cage match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Demolition Championship!
Many fans attending GrindHouse are expecting Nishida's usual "No One Will Survive" theme to play through the PA system. However, the lights around the arena begin to go out for a few moments until a guitar solo is heard coming from the PA system. The guitar solo continues for a few seconds before the lights come back on.
Death Rider by Fusion Rocker hits at 0:27 as Tora Nishida slowly walks out from the back, dragging the Demolition Championship behind him as he steps out. He wears his red and black tiger mask, but it looks as if someone ripped it apart and stitched it back together. He also isn't wearing his usual ring gear as he comes out wearing tactical cargo pants, combat boots, sleeveless vest jacket, and taped up wrists.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first the champion, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at two hundred forty-six pounds.....
Nishida makes his way down to the ring with his eyes staring only at the solid cold structure he's about to enter for the second time in his career here in WWH. Zane seems to hesitate for a few moments with the paper in his hand before continuing.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
He is the alpha and omega of professional wrestling, the last real wrestler in Sanatorium, the best pure wrestler in WWH, the painmaker, and the savior of Sanatorium....
Nishida slowly walks up the steel steps as he stops at the cage door. The fans watching in attendance, watching at him, and everyone watching in the back may see it as him being scared to enter the cage, but to Nishida, he was looking at Pandora's box and the moment he opens that cage door and steps inside, he won't be same man he is right now. He slowly takes his mask off as he throws it to the side before opening the cage door and stepping into the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
TOOOOOORAAAAAA NIIIIIISHIDAAAA!!!
Nishida raises the Demolition Title up in the air, which could be for the final time unless he walks out of this cage as champion. He goes to the corner on the north-east side of the ring with the belt in his hand as he waits for Edwards and Ross, ready to put an end to all of this.
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 is 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. He calmly sits there, waiting on his opponents.
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 has a pair of chairs in each hand as he approaches the soon to be burning trap of steel, he slides the chairs in staring at Ross. He is seen wearing a black vest, black tights with 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.
All three competitors look focused, yet apprehensive as it pertains to their surroundings. The environment is a hellish, human decimation nightmare created only for punishment, chaos and pain. The cage itself is sturdy, the steel mesh familiar to almost any wrestling enthusiast and every so often, an inferno wall flickers up the cage walls and quickly returns to a steady roar. Steel being tickled by the fingertips of Satan himself spells disaster for any human flesh unfortunate enough to meet it. We see that Ross has also brought a garbage can full of goodies to the ring, adding more mayhem to the punch of violence.

This satanic rat trap is straight out of a horror flick, Helena.

I hope you’ve got your popcorn then, because I don’t think its going to fail to entertain even the sickest of us. This perverse concept should’ve been left on the editing room floor.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Psh. You kidding me? This is like getting paid to shoutcast a snuff film, let's do this.
They all start to feel the situation out as they look to engage with one another. Edwards goes on the attack first with a front kick but Nishida blocks it and fires a forearm shot at Edwards. He then tries to swing for a back elbow at Ross but he ducks it and clips Edwards on the other side with a dropkick. Ross scurries to his feet and trades a few blows with Nishida. They start laying it in heavy when Edwards bursts through the center of the fight, runs up the ropes and hits a beautiful moonsault onto both as the flames burst into the air along the cage.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Fantastic moonsault inside Hades’ cheese grater. Holy hell, should’ve grabbed some marshmallows. Maybe make some smores or somethin’.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
If it weren’t for the fact that someone would likely use the edge of a graham cracker as a blade, I’d be on board.
Edwards grabs the trashcan that Ross graced us with and dumps it out, spilling an assorted collection of hardware and weapons out. A tennis racket, a kendo stick, several little bags, a pipe and god knows what else. He looks pleased as he cracks Ross with the bottom on the trashcan then whips the can into an oncoming Nishida who stumbles to the ropes after absorbing the shot only to back away quickly as he feels the heat of the inferno near him.
Edwards tells Nishida to suck it and goes for the finisher tied to the phrase but Chucky breaks it up and slams Edwards back first into the ever hot steel cage wall. He writhes in pain on the ground, back arched as he tries to block out the attack.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oh my god that has to suck! That cage has to be temping at elevated heat by now and... ugh.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Grill at four-hundred for four minutes, flip each minute to get them good grill marks.

Grill marks, bud.
Ross focuses his attack on Nishida now who managed to obtain one of the bags that fell from the garbage can. He cracks Ross with the bag then whips him into the cage, forcing him to the ground in pain as well. Nishida cackles as he empties the bag to the mat, thumbtacks spreading out in one corner as he carelessly flips the bag away and a twisted smile curls upon his face. He pulls Ross up and goes for a suplex but the resident Jester blocks it and takes a knee before switching places with Tora and going to throw a suplex himself but that too is blocked and broken up. Out of the blue Edwards rushes both men but Ross steps into it and back body drops him into Nishida and they both land hard in the tacks!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Christ... ain’t nothing technical to call about that.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I got nothing. They landed and slid a few inches in those tacks. That’s bowling shoe ugly, but it works.
The three men have a series of exchanging blows and knocking one another down with quick trips and heavier attacks, but despite the pain, Edwards manages to get a fiery burst and takes both Ross & Nishida out with a bulldog clothesline combo! He attempts to cover both men but only gets near falls each time. They all back off each other and recover, observing the environment yet again. Every time one of the competitors think about utilizing the cage
or heading up for a high risk move, they back off the structure as flames weave between the steel mesh and into the air every so often.
In the exchange of weapon shots, big moves and general violence, Ross and Edwards double team Tora with a tandem press slam onto the trashcan! Chucky & Edwards then return to their exchange as Nishida rolls from the crushed weapon. He reaches into one of the remaining bags and secures something as Edwards and Ross beat the ever loving hell out of each other. All fear seemingly gone, Ross and Edwards find themselves trying to fight on the top rope where Edwards manages to hit a wild back suplex from the top rope! As both men crash, Nishida rushes in with the hidden object and latches one of Edwards’ hands with a pair of steel handcuffs and locks in Raiju’s Wrath to subdue him from struggling.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Nishida is going for broke here and trying to wrap this chaos up before it gets any worse.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It's a smart move. Chucky Ross is neutralized, Edwards didn’t have enough time to gain his composure and Nishida is like a pitbull right now.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Winning is the name of the game and Tora Nishida has the W in his sights.
Nishida really cranks back on the submission and manages to grab the pipe that fell from the garbage can o’ goodies. He slides the steel against Edwards’ face and cranks back as far as he can only for The Soulless Jester to come off the top of the damn cage with a massive Swanton Bomb on both men! The velocity and impact is too great to make an immediate cover, but it certainly broke up the submission and caused a great deal of damage to everyone involved. All three men are worse for wear, and though he delivered the move, Ross looks like he had been thrown from a moving vehicle as he’s barely stirring. Edwards, now with a bloodied nose from Nishida’s vile pipe usage, gets to his feet first and meets Tora in the center of the ring. Without a moment of thought, Edwards headbutts him right in the nose and drops him, blood rushing out of Tora’s nose now. Edwards grabs one of the chairs scattered around the ring and plants in flat on the ground, having something sinister in mind.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Sure, sure. Lets get some more head trauma out on the plate. This is baaaad news, Helena.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Gotta believe he’s got the Guillotine Drop lined up here. He pulls that off on the chair? Its all over.
Nishida slowly climbs to his feet and heaves a chop into Edwards’ chest, Edwards responds with a forearm strike that staggers Tora but only for a brief moment as he rebounds with an R-Strike that grazes Edwards into the corner. Without catching the knee attack full on, Edwards recovers faster than Tora hoped and forces him to go back on the attack but Ross comes out of nowhere only to get blasted with a full impact R-Strike! Ross crumbles to the mat and the distraction allows Edwards to drill Nishida with the Triple D! Understanding that there’s a point to prove, Edwards removes the top turnbuckle pad, winching at the ever rising fire dancing with the cage. He looks down at the wrist that is decorated with the dangling handcuffs from earlier and grins at Nishida. He locks in the full nelson on a seated Tora and pulls him to his feet and goes to hit the FDR but Tora pushes him backwards into the exposed buckle, captures his arm and cuffs him to the cage!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Threat neutralized! Nishida just took Edwards out of this match entirely.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Clever girl!
Nishida tumbles away in laughter and takes a few pot shots at Edwards, who frantically pulls at the cuffs attached to the cage but can’t get them to give way. Nishida flips Edwards off and refocuses on The Soulless Jester... who comes off the second rope with the Demonic Desensitization on Nishida who gets spiked into a chair! Chucky Ross rolls Tora over and hooks the leg! Edwards reaches out to break up the cover but is so far away!
ONE!
Desperately, Edwards attempts to kick an open chair at the pinfall, but it veers to the left of the cover...
TWO!
Edwards pulls and shakes at the cage and cuffs, trying to avoid the flames and heated steel to get free but it all is too much...
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And your winner, securing the Demolition Championship... The Soulless Jester Chucky Rooooooss!
Chucky Ross slowly rolls away from the final car crash in the ring and takes a well earned moment of peace as Avatar plays over the sound system. Edwards kicks the ropes in frustration as he helplessly stops struggling and keeps his arm away from the cage as much as he can. Nishida lays out cold in a pile of debris as officials angle the tip of wire cutters through the cage to snip the chain of the handcuffs on Edwards. He slumps to one knee and nods to Chucky Ross, who celebrates not only surviving such a hellish encounter, but claiming victory.
WINNER VIA PINFALL: CHUCKY ROSS
As the scene opens, we see a darkened interior with only the occasional flicker of lights. After a few moments, a large figure awakens.
THE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE | PHANTOM
Goddamn it. Those guards really packed a punch this time. Where the fuck am I?
He takes a few moments to gather his thoughts and look around his surroundings.

Then he works on this last part of the puzzle. After a few more moments, he solves and finds the key to get out of the room. He heads over to the door and opens it. It leads to a hallway and walks down following any signs or indicators that can lead him out. After a few moments, he reaches what appears to be the way to the ring for the main event. Then the scene fades to black.
KiKi is seen pacing within the escape room. Arguing with herself it seems.
KIKI KARTHARSIES:
If you just let me lead this we wouldn't be here. Where in the hell did you get us stuck at?
Her voice irritated. Now softens.
KIKI KARTHARSIES:
I can do this on my own KiKi. I don't need your help.
Her head twists to the side in a strange way.
KIKI KARTHARSIES:

She moves back and forth. Looking over things to her right and left.
KIKI KARTHARSIES:
There Kiera, it is right there. Take that.
No that won't work, don't you know I already tried that?
Not that you idiot. That button right there.
KiKi looks puzzled at a spot on the wall. She then reaches out and touches it. The light suddenly shuts off leaving her in pitch black darkness.
KIKI KARTHARSIES:
Is this what you wanted KiKI?
Fuck. What kind of question is that. No this is not what I wanted. I want to get the hell out of here. I'm claustrophobic.
Yeah right.
Oh shut up Kiera. Let me think.
Silence befalls her now.

"Spit It Out" by Slipknot plays over the sounds system as he comes out wearing a blue and black mask across his nose and mouth from his coat, ignoring the fans as he turns his head to the cameras. He slides into the ring before going on the turnbuckle and does a pose. The 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 and looks at John Blade.

The ref is looking at the two before he signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Aaron and John look at each other and begin to circle each other. They lock up, but Aaron is able to overpower Blade. He brings him to the corner as the ref separates the men. Aaron holds his hand and moves back. But out of nowhere, Aaron pokes Blade in the eye. Blade covers his eye and screams in pain. Aaron smiles as he brings him over to the corner and smacks his head to the corner pad. The timer begins to count down.

Aaron starts to fight back, and that is when we see Mya is standing up as she hits a low blow to Aaron. Aaron falls to his knees, holding his balls, and winces in pain.

Aaron needs to wear a cup. His balls will never be the same.

Glad I don't have balls.
Mya gets a smile on her face as the clock begins to go down.
Abby Evans is coming out as Mya turns around and smiles. Abby Evans begins to walk down slowly while taking her time. She enters the ring and begins to walk around the ring. She smiles as Rey looks at the two girls and points at Aaron. Telling them, let's end him. They both look at each other and nod. He goes and picks up Aaron, but that is when Abby runs and hits a punt kick right in the balls of Rey. He turns around, and that is when Abby grabs him and drops him with her CUT THROAT! She covers him, and the ref drops and counts it.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

THIS IS MY PICK TO WIN THIS MATCH.
Phantom begins to walk down the ramp. He enters the ring as he goes after both Mya and Abby. He leans down and picks up Aaron and throws him over the top rope. He goes far over the ropes and goes face-first into the announcer's table. He turns around and looks at Abby and Mya. He walks towards them and puts his hands on their throats. He lifts them in the air and drops them with a chokeslam. Both girls are down, but he doesn't want it to end. He rolls out of the ring and grabs a black bag. He brings it into the ring and opens it. He turns it upside down and a bunch of thumbtacks fall out. After it is empty, he throws the bag to the side. He turns around to grab Mya. He whips her towards the rope as she comes back, she gets hit with BLOOD OF THE SOULLESS! Her back hits the thumbtacks, and he covers her.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
ELIMINATION: MYA DENTON
Mya is getting out of the ring with the help of the Orderlies. Phantom stands tall. But that is when Abby jumps on his back and begins to pound the side of his head. He drops to one knee as the timer is now going down.
Mike Lavicle runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He grabs Abby and throws her from him, and that is when Phantom turns around as Mike looks at him. He begins to dance in front of him and points at him. Phantom doesn't take him seriously and goes for a clothesline. Mike ducks and runs towards the ropes as he bounced off. He comes in and hits him with a crossbody to Phantom, who catches him. He lifts him over his head but drops down behind him and goes for a roll-up.
ONE!
TWO!
But Phantom kicks out. Abby stands up and rushes towards Mike, who ducks out-of-the-way. She is then met with a BLOOD OF THE SOULLESS right on the thumbtacks. Mike points at Phantom, saying he wants to pin her. Phantom isn't having any of that. He grabs Mike by the neck and is quickly taken down by Aaron, who hits Phantom in the back of the leg with a chop block. Phantom drops as the countdown timer comes up.

Here he comes, it's DARK WOLF!
He rushes towards the ring and goes after Mike Lavicle. He begins to hit a series of punches to his head as Mike is taking the shots but then gets whipped into the ropes. Mike bounces off and gets hit with a superkick to his gut. Mike drops to the ground, and that is when Wolf runs toward the ropes and comes back with a running Frankenstein that forces Mikes's head to the ring. He slides out of the ring and takes a moment to breathe. Dark Wolf is the only one standing, and that is when Dark grabs Abby and picks her up in an electric chair drop. He grabbed her head and hit a driver, which he likes to call, DARK ENDING! And that is when the ref counts.

I'm still going for Phantom in this match.
Hugh is running down the ring and enters. The Spooky Skeletons begin to team up on Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones starts to fight back against this team, but it's just a miracle that Aaron is still fighting this whole time. They grab his head and whip him into the corner. Hugh rushes forward and hits a clothesline, and then he sends him into Mike, who picks up and drops him with a side slam right on the thumbtacks that Phantom brought in. Mike stands up as both Mike and Hugh begin to dance in the match.

And here is the girl who is on the rise. She has said that she will make it to the top. Tonight could be the stop for that.
Sarah Lynn is walking down the ramp and looking in the ring at the rest of the competitors. She knows that she has a huge task in front of her. Sarah Lynn gets in the ring as Dark Wolf comes in with a clothesline, but Sarah ducks and hits him with a german suplex. She stands up and walks towards Dark Wolf, as Aaron rushes towards her with a boot but she ducks and drops him with a reverse DDT. Aaron rolls out of the ring and holds his head.
The Spooky Skeletons come in front of her and begin to dance. She moves them back and grabs Dark Wolf, who hits a jawbreaker. She holds her jaw. He rushes, but she quickly ducks and hits a TWIST OF FATE out of nowhere and covers him quickly.

COMMON PHANTOM! WIN THIS!
All the superstars stand up. The Spooky Skeletons are in one corner, Aaron Jones in another, Sarah Lynn in one, and Phantom in the last. They all look at each other. Lynn looks at Jones and points at him. She heard his comments and wasn't happy about it. The Spooky Skeletons look at each other and get out of the ring. Phantom is still in the ring, and that means the three look upon each other and circle each other. Jones goes after Phantom as Lynn goes after Phantom as well.
They know that he is the biggest threat. Phantom is taking the beating but is able to push them back into the corner. Mike and Hugh get under the ring and grab a couple of steel chairs, and throw them in there. They still don't bother getting inside of the ring. Jones and Lynn go after him again, but that gave Mike and Hugh an idea. So that is when they get under the ring and pull out a table. They slide it into the ring and enter. They set it up in the corner and begin to dance some more.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
No wonder these guys are in the Sanatorium. These guys are FUCKING NUTS!
Lynn turns around and looks at them and wonders what is their problem. They pay no attention as they begin to dance around her. She's confused to all hell until one of them hits her in the back hard with an elbow. She drops to the ground holding her back. That is when Hugh grabs the table, and Mike whips her into it hard. She slides down, and that is when Hugh sets up the table. Mike stands up on the table and puts her in a package piledriver. That is when Hugh gets to the top rope, but at the same time, that puts her through the table with COMPRESSION FRACTURE! That is when Hugh covers her.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
And Aaron Jones has been the longest one in this match.
The four look at each other, knowing that they are the last of them in this match. Mike and Hugh stick together as Phantom and Aaron are in separate corners. Hugh and Mike talk with each other, knowing that they have to strategize this. Phantom and Aaron, however, are not even bothering about it. The four then circle each other and are making sure that they don't give the others the advantage.

The question is, who wants it more?
Mike goes after Phantom as Hugh goes after Aaron. The four begin to throw fist after fist into each other's faces. Aaron kicks Mike in the gut and whips him into the corner, and charges after him with a clothesline. As he gets closer, Hugh ducks and back body drops Aaron out of the ring and forces him to land hard to the floor. Hugh gets out of the ring and heads toward Aaron, only to get kicked in the gut. Hugh bends over as Aaron grabs him by the head and whips him into the plexiglass.
Phantom is in the ring, still brawling with Mike. Just then, Phantom brings Mike towards the corner and lays a series of shots to his head, and whips him into the other corner. Mike hits the corner hard as Phantom charges in and hits a clothesline, and that takes him down to the mat. Phantom picks him up and throws him out of the ring. Aaron looks upon the face of Phantom and slides into the ring. The two look at each other and begin to brawl. Phantom is able to take the anger out and kick Aaron in the gut. He puts him against the ropes and grabs his arm. He then whips him across the ring as Aaron hits the ropes and comes back to get taken down with a powerslam right on the thumbtacks. You can hear him screaming from the pain that gets put on him.

Just look at his back, Gia. Aaron is completely covered.
All four of the superstars are now on the ground and tired out. This match has taken a toll on all of them. Mike and Hugh start to move slowly and crawl towards the steel steps. They both get up and got back in the ring. The two look at each other while trying to catch some breathing room. The punishment that they've been through will leave a scar, but the outcome is what is the most important. Aaron and Phantom both get up and rest against the ropes. Mike and Hugh look at each other and nod. Mike moves forward first but is quickly rolled up by his partner.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
ELIMINATION: MIKE LAVICLE
Mike looks at his partner as he gets out of the ring. He can't believe it. Aaron stands back as Phantom comes behind and turns him forward as Phantom drops him with BLOOD OF THE SOULLESS right on the thumbtacks. He then covers him.

Shut up.
Phantom stands up as both he looks at Aaron, and Aaron does the same thing. The intensity would drive a man crazy thinking about these two. Aaron and Phantom look on as the stare down can cut you like a knife. They circle each other and lock up. Phantom knees him in the gut and lifts him on his shoulders as he drops him with his SOULLESS FALL. He signals for the end and lifts him by his neck, and hits his SATAN'S SPIKE, but Aaron counters and locks him in his INSANITY CHOKE. He wrenches hard on the arm, but Phantom isn't tapping. He continues to wrench on the arm as he grabs some of the thumbtacks and begins to pound them into his arm. He starts to rip his arm with the spike as Phantom has no choice but to tap.
ELIMINATION: PHANTOM

He lets go of the hold as Phantom rolls out of the ring. That is when "Spit it Out" begins to blast over the P.A System. The ref raises his hand in the air as Aaron gets a huge smirk on his face. He looks at the crowd as the WWH logo comes up, and the scene goes off the air.
