RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is scheduled for one fall..
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, she hails from LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! She is "THE FATE CHANGER" SARAH LYNN!
As “Trip The Darkness” by Lacuna Coil plays Sarah Lynn runs to the ring and slides into it. She stands up and runs to a corner. She jumps onto the middle rope, raises her arms, and jumps off of it. The music stops playing.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Her opponent, she hails from ATLANTA GEORGIA! Being ACCOMPANIED by HELLION, she is "THE GOTHIC PRINCESS" GOTHICA SKYLIGHT!
The beginning of the song “Cry Little Sister” by Carfax Abbey starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer starts to sing, the beautiful Gothica Skylight aka " The Gothic Princess" starts to come out on all fours. She quickly kips up and grabs her 2 by 4 board with the thumbtacks attached to it to hold close to her for protection. She's being accompanied to the ring by her manager, Hellion. They walk past the fans with an ice-cold look seen seeping through her eyes. She evilly smiles and laughs at the same time. She gets inside of the ring and goes to her corner to talk trash into the nearest camera as to what she wants to do to her opponent keeping the wicked smile on her face as Hellion stands by her and looks at Sarah Lynn.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Sarah Lynn had a lot to say about Gothica Skylight, but Skylight hasn't said anything. It could cost her the match.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It could, but you never know. It could just be Skylight playing mindgames against Sarah.
The two women looked at each other as the ref signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Gothica and Lynn lock up, but Lynn is able to overpower her. She brings her into the corner, but the ref asks her to move away. Lynn holds her hand up, but Skylight slaps her face. That slap just set Lynn off, and she kicks her in the gut and whips her hard into the corner. She rushes forward and hits a clothesline that sends her out of the ring. Lynn gets out of the ring and heads towards her. Gothica is slowly getting up, but Lynn rushes forward and knocking her into the steel steps.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
The aggression from Lynn is impressive.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Slap her, and she'll knock your lights out.
Lynn looks down at her and watches Gothica crawl slowly towards the ring apron. Lynn then grabs her by the hair and brings her into the ring. She slides in and picks her up., and hits a neckbreaker. Skylight is down and Lynn climbs up the turnbuckle and hits a top rope moonsault.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Skylight is down.
Lynn picks her up and hits a TWIST OF FATE, and covers her quickly.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
WINNER VIA PINFALL: SARAH LYNN
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Here is your winner, SARAH LYNN!
Sarah stands up as the ref raises her hand in the air. She smiles at the crowd and blows them kisses.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Dominant fashion by Sarah Lynn.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I predict a title shot coming her way.
Just then "Trip the Darkness" hits the PA system. Lynn gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp, having gotten another win under her belt. She walks backstage and smiles.
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 heard through the darkness saying..
MYSTERIOUS VOICE
Who's ready for some fun?
Then the lights kick back on and sitting in the middle of the ring cross-legged is the one and only "The Soulless Jester" Chucky Ross and he's holding The Jester's Stick. Then the announcer attempts to do the introduction, he stands up and snatches the microphone away from them.
THE SOULLESS JESTER | CHUCKY ROSS
Allow me to do that...
I am "The Soulless Jester" Chucky Ross and I weigh in tonight at a glorious 175 lbs and hail from The Order Compound. Tonight we are going to see me drop some poor loser with The Joke's On You. So please stay tuned for that and now back to your regularly scheduled talking.
Then he shoves the microphone into the announcer's chest and then goes sits in one of the corners like Raven and awaits his opponent.
"Low Life" by Crobat plays over the sound system as he walks out, wearing soldier gear, doing a salute to the fans with pyro going off in the background before he high fives the fans.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
This match is scheduled for one fall, introducing Chucky Ross's opponent, coming from ODESSA, TEXAS; weighing in at TWO HUNDRED THIRTY POUNDS...he is THE SOLDIER OF CHAOS, BRIAN BLADES.
As he gets to ringside, he gets up the stairs and does a hold-up, before saluting the fans.
The referee checks for any weapons from both Brian and Chucky. Once the referee's done, he calls for the bell for the match to begin.
DING!! DING!! DING!!
Straight off the bat, Chucky slightly pokes in Brian's eyes, blinding him as Chucky does the leg sweep to knock Brian down. Chucky does a few stomps to Brian's chest, stomping very hard until Brian's covered in bruises on his chest. It's clear Chucky's increasingly bored from the get go as he locks in Crossface Chickenwing.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Wow, Chucky Ross has taken the match from the get-go, of course, he's going to win this time with the match. Love attitudes and violence this guy can put on.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Brian is managing to hold on here, although he's trying to reach for the ropes with his hand with that tightly held Crossface Chickenwing move. Looks painful.
Eventually, Brian crawls to the ropes and Chucky's still holding onto the hold, and he releases it on a four-count. Brian helps himself up, and while Chucky is discussing with the referee, Brian gives Chucky a missile dropkick, knocking Chucky down. He runs towards the turnbuckle and climbs up the turnbuckle to do a frog splash, giving the chance to go for the pinfall.
ONE!
TWO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Despite his size, Chucky kicked out like how a monster would.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
How close was Brian to finish off the match, but to no avail. Has to do a lot more than that to keep a jester down.
Chucky gets up, and he grabs Brian's by his hair, pulling it for the ref to count to 3 before Chucky holds Brian's hand. Chucky tells the crowd to shhhh before you hear a massive click from the fingers Chucky manages to pull back from Brian's left hand, causing Brian shaking off the pain he felt from Chucky pulling his fingers back. However, Brian punches him to Chucky but does not affect as Chucky picks him up for a Spinning Spinebuster.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Ouch, that has to hurt. That was a hard tumble there for Brian. Hurt the idiot, Chucky.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That's harsh on Brian as he's doing well so far, although that finger pulling was nasty to see. Chucky is now going on the top rope.
Chucky reaches up there, and he does a diving headbutt right in between Brian's legs. It took a while for Brian to get himself up before catching Chucky with a running Enzuigiri, getting a bit of momentum behind him. Brian gets Chucky up and attempts to go for a one-handed bulldog, but Chucky pushes Brian away as he turns into an Asian Mist into his eyes before he#s dazed, trying to hit the referee. Before Chucky uses Reverse S.T.O. twisted into a Spike DDT.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
That's a great move from Chucky, calling that a Mission Statement 2K19.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
That's exactly what he's doing in this match and has been the entire time.
As he waits for Brian to get up from Mission Statement, Chucky gets Brian into position and hits him with a Double Knee Backbreaker rolled immediately into a Straitjacket Crossface as Brian screams out in pain, trying to find a way, but it was too much for him to take and has no choice, but to tap out.
DING!! DING!! DING!!
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND Here is your winner, BY SUBMISSION, YOUR DEMOLITION CHAMPION....CHUCKY ROSS
Smells Like A Freak Show by Avatar plays over the sound system as the referee gave Chucky his Demolition title and celebrates with the fans booing him.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
What a finish by Chucky today seems to be on form as the Demolition Champion
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Indeed, it was all about the Demolition champion tonight. We'll see who challenges him for the title and I'm sure, we'll see Brian Blades back in action.
Chucky Ross is already up the ramp with his Demolition title and raises it in the air before Chucky walks backstage as the Sanatorium goes to a commercial break.
WINNER VIA PINFALL: CHUCKY ROSS
Cameras go inside of the cell of a man who had his hoodie coat up, rocking backwards and forwards on the bed known as Aaron Jones. He didn't really feel proud to be a title contender, but it's whatever to Aaron as he shrugs his shoulders before he speaks.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
You know, it's whatever on the fact I'm an Underground title contender to the non-existent Christy Winters or so it could be her as Kiera Katharsies is getting her rematch for the title tonight. My god, all I ever see on Twitter for Christy Winters is her lack of actually acknowledging me as her title contender. Not that I care of course, but it makes me look fucking stupid to force myself to do the one thing I hate, caring to have a stupid title match. I hope Christy Winters does lose because she only cares about promoting some dumb company that isn't WWH and some tits and women ass pictures.
Boos from the crowd as Aaron smirks, not caring about what the fans think of what Aaron said with his opinions. He spits on the floor before continuing to speak.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
At least Kiera would give a damn about promoting the title and the upcoming match, acknowledging me as her title contender after my reward I won for outlasting everyone literally in that Grindhouse main event. I even want to face Kiera in a match more because I know that despite Christy Winters somehow beat Eden, I rather face someone who's beaten real competition, and that's Kiera in this case. Please for the love of god, beat the shit out of Christy Winters who doesn't give a shit about this company, being champion or me as she acknowledges none of it on Twitter and even in her videos.
Aaron took himself to have a bit of a break as he drinks some more water before clearing his throat.
THE INSANITY | AARON JONES
There's nothing more to say about Jonathan Edwards I haven't addressed, other than I'm going to beat him in the ring tonight, sending Christy Winters in particular for now at least a message never to ignore the threat of The Insanity again because I can be motherfucking crazy. It won't be a regular title match; it will be a vicious hardcore match where I bust your skull, same with Kiera if she wins tonight. I don't care because I'll be sitting at ringside tonight, watching you girls beat the fuck out of each other, letting me scot the pair of you before I attack the champion whoever it will be after the match, making sure the message is sent as well. For now, I got to beat up a whiny, weak prick.
Aaron places his finger on the camera before the cameras go back to ringside for the match between Legion and Mya Denton take place on Sanatorium right now.
RING ANNOUNCER |ZANE MULHOLLAND
The following contest is scheduled for one fall...
RING ANNOUNCER |ZANE MULHOLLAND
Introducing first, being accompanied by, MISTER J! She hails from, AOKIGAHARA, JAPAN! She is "THE QUEENSLAYER" LEGION!
The lights go out in the arena, as a cling sound like coins being tossed in the air is heard. The screen begins to flicker, as a man is showing walking through a forest, tossing three gold coins in the air. He follows a path carrying the coins and a lantern. A woman stands towards the end of his path, as she turns to him. She keeps her head down, as the man offers her the coins, she inspects them, as she looks down as he begins to kneel. She places her hand on his shoulder as the screen shuts off, and the two appear on the stage, the song begins playing, as Legion turns to the crowd, placing the gold coins in her chest, Mister J standing behind her.
♪ Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing no* manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
For your dolly Polly sleep has flown ♪
Legion begins her slow walk down from the top of the apron, as she sways with the music her eyes glowing in the dark. She looks up into the ring where there is no one awaiting her, as she makes her way to the bottom, turning slowly as the beat begins to pick up.
♪ Don't dare let her tremble alone
For the witcher, heartless, cold
Paid in coin of gold
He comes he'll go leave naught behind
But heartache and woe
Deep, deep woe ♪
As she climbs the stairs, she slowly slides into the ring, with red spotlights on her. She cackles slightly, as she looks around. She then slowly backs into a corner sitting down, staring up the ramp as Mister J makes his way to ringside. The lights come on, as the music cuts out.
RING ANNOUNCER |ZANE MULHOLLAND
Her opponent, she hails from CHICAGO, ILLINOIS! She is, MYA DENTON!
"Pretty Little Psycho" by Porcelain Black comes on as Mya skips out to the stage and gives a small little wave before skipping down to the ring. Mya slides under the bottom rope and continues to skip inside the ring before she sits on the middle ropes, crossing her legs as she looks at Legion.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Legion versus Mya Denton shouldn't even be considered a match. Legion is going to destroy her.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Don't count Mya out, Gia. I believe Mya got this in the bag.
Mya and Legion looked at each other before the ref signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
The two ladies start to circle each other before locking up. Legion, who is the stronger of the two, was able to bring her to the ropes. The ref gets in the middle as Legion moves back. She quickly kicks Mya in the gut and hits her with an elbow strike to her face. Mya takes the shot before Legion takes her over the top rope and clotheslines her to the outside. Legion gets a smile on her face before getting out of the ring.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Legion lost her match against Reno and wants to get some revenge.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I don't see how that works in Mya's favor, Gia.
Legion walks towards Mya before leaning down and grabbing her by the hair. Mya stands up and hits an elbow to her gut. She grabs Legion by the arm and whips her into the Plexiglass that keeps the fans safe. Legion drops to the ground and holding her face. Mya grabs Legion by the hair and brings her back in the ring, and covers her.
ONE!
TWO!
Legion was able to get her shoulder up. That's when Mya gets on top of Legion and begins to rain down blows to her face.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
That punch to her face is going to leave a mark if someone doesn't stop this.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
YOU GO, GIRL!
Mya picks up Legion and brings her to the corner, and holds the top rope as she lays a series of kicks to her gut. After a while, she stops and whips her to the other side. That's when Mya runs but got hit with a back elbow. Mya holds her face as legions run and hit a step-up knee strike to her face. Mya goes down to the ground, and Legion starts to giggle.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Like her or not, you have to admire Legion skills in the ring.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
The woman is FREAKING CRAZY!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
So are all the inmates in this Sanatorium.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
All except one, and that's Elijah.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
OH MY JESUS!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Don't judge me.
Mya starts to move up, but at that same time, Legion rushed in and hit a Shining Wizard to her jaw. Mya falls back to the ground as Legion covers her.
ONE!
TWO
THRE-
KICKOUT!
Legion looks at the ref and tells him to count faster. He looks at her and tells her that it was two and a half. She leans up and grabs her by the root of her hair as she brings her into the corner. Legion hits a series of knee strikes to her gut and whips her to another side, but Mya counters as Legion hits the corner. Mya rushes in and hits a running dropkick to her face. Legion falls to the ground as Mya moves back and comes in with another dropkick that hits her chest. She moves Legion out of the corner and climbs to the top. Mya looks down and jumps off to hit a diving elbow, but Legion moved out of the way. Mya holds her elbow as she stands up. Mya turned and got blinded by a Red Asian mist. Mya starts to scream as Legion picks her up and drops her with a Samoan drop. She then climbs the top and hits a twisting moonsault, which she likes to call, KNIGHTFALL, and that's when she covers her.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
WINNER VIA PINFALL: LEGION
RING ANNOUNCER |ZANE MULHOLLAND
HERE IS YOUR WINNER, LEGION!
Legion stands up from the ground and looks at Mya, who is still screaming in pain. She gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp. She turns around and giggles before heading into the back.
The scene opens with Nishida pacing back and forth in his cell. He had a frustrated look on his face as he turns his head to look at the camera while still pacing around.
RAIJU OF SANATORIUM | TORA NISHIDA
So...you all finally got what you wanted. I lost the demolition title. Now it's in the hands of that psycho clown. I should feel angered or pissed off, instead i feel disgusted. I feel disgusted that Ross stole my championship from me, i feel disgusted at the warden for making that match inside a steel cage, i feel disgusted for allowing this all to happen, and i feel disgusted that i didn't get rid of that title sooner than delaying. Then i felt even worse when i was put up against a rookie to the point where my stomach hurt and i couldn't take it anymore.
Grindhouse was supposed to be his and Destino's night. They were supposed to walk out of their respective matches victorious with him finally putting the last nail on the coffin that is the demolition title. But Edwards and Ross had to stand in his way and now the title lives to see another day. The longer that belt was around, the more disgusted he felt.
RAIJU OF SANATORIUM | TORA NISHIDA
I'm through playing by the rules of this company. It's time that I start taking things around here by force, starting with the Demolition title. The demolition title WILL be coming back to me Ross and I will take it back by any means necessary, even if it means destroying an entire division to get it back!
His mind was already storming up a few ideas on how to take the title back from that clown. He just has to execute them at the right opportunity and the belt will be back in his hands.
RAIJU OF SANATORIUM | TORA NISHIDA
As for Destino, I told the brothers that it's time for a change in attitude and it's time that we recruit others because strength in numbers as one would say. This year, we are taking everything and the only way to do that is to bring more people into the fold and do whatever the hell we want around here. If we want to beat someone up, we'll beat them up, if we want to steal a title, we'll steal a title, if we want to be on commentary, we'll be on commentary, and if we want to end someone's career, we'll end their career! Playtime is over....
As we return to the action after the commercial break, over the PA system, “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Hellyeah starts to play.
The drums begin to play over the speakers inside of the asylum. It continued 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.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
From Green Bay, Wisconsin and weighing in tonight at 209 lbs, this is Jonathan Edwards!
Edwards then shuts the door as he didn't need the help of the orderlies. He is seen wearing a black vest, black tights w/ Edwards on his right leg, and Elites on his left leg, black wrestling boots, and black knee pads. He starts walking 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.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
“From Dallas, Texas and weighing in tonight at 205 lbs; he is ‘The Insanity’, Aaron Jones!”
“Spit It Out” by Slipknot plays over the sounds system as he comes out wearing a blue and black of mask across his nose and mouth from his coat, stopping on the ramp to bounce up and down four times as he raises his finger up before walking down the ramp, 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 and people boo for him as he gets down from the turnbuckle, taking his coat off to drop it down to the floor and then sits behind a turnbuckle corner, waiting for his opponent to come out through the curtain.
Then once the two of them get settled and stretched out in their corners, the referee walks over to each of them and does the pre-match check. Aaron shows hesitancy for the referee to touch/check him but relents after a few moments. Then the referee walks over to Edwards who just continues to stare daggers towards Aaron as the referee does the check. Then afterwards, they signal for the bell as the action starts.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Here we go!
They start off by circling each other for a few moments before locking in a collar and elbow tie-up. After a few moments, Aaron gains the advantage by putting Edwards into a Standing Armbar. Then he immediately transitions by placing Edwards onto the mat with a quick Arm Drag of sorts and begins forcing the Armbar on a bit tighter. The referee checks to see if Edwards gives in.
REFEREE
Do you give in?
Edwards shakes his heads no and starts to try and fight out of the Armbar. But as he tries, Aaron tosses him back down to the mat with yet another Arm Drag. Then after a few moments, Aaron attempts to grab one of Edwards’s legs and lock in what appears to be an Ankle Lock.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Going for a submission-fest here early on with Chucky Ross in control!
As Aaron appears to have the Ankle Lock fully cinched in, Edwards manages to kick Aaron away by hitting his ankle/leg area with a few quick low kicks. Then Edwards manages to roll away as Aaron paces around a bit in order to get some feeling back into his ankle/leg area. Edwards rolls into a corner and starts to do the same.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Back to square one again, a little worse for the wear.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Both going for the leg, this match may stay in tight tonight.
Then they circle each other again before Aaron tries to land a few punches and kicks onto Edwards. Then Edwards does the same for a few shots. Then Edwards tries to land a Superkick but Aaron dodges it and lands an Enzuigiri on the crack back. Then Edwards appears to stand there for a few moments in a stunned state before Aaron grabs him in a Front Facelock of sorts. Then Aaron tries to lift up for a Suplex of sorts. But Edwards tries to block and attempts to do a Suplex of his own onto Aaron. But Aaron blocks the attempted Suplex before spins around Edwards and is now behind him.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
This match just stays hotly contested, Gia!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Neither man feels he can afford to lose this one.
Then Aaron starts to run the ropes and dodges most of Edwards’ attacks until he suddenly gets caught by Edwards with what appears to be a Russian Legsweep into a Falling Clothesline combination. Then once Aaron hits the mat, Edwards starts doing some Stomps to various parts of Aaron’s body to try and keep him down. Then Edwards smiles as he runs the ropes for a brief moment before dropping down onto Aaron with a Corkscrew Elbow Drop and then he covers Aaron for the first pinfall of the match. The Referee sees and makes the count…
ONE!
Aaron kicks out at one. Edwards gets a pissed look on his face and then just mounts Aaron and starts doing some heavy handed Ground and Pound-style strikes. The referee is checking to see if Aaron is still conscious. After about 5-10 shots, Aaron manages to push Edwards off of him and rolls away as Edwards gets settled into the nearby corner. Then like a lightning bolt, Aaron tries to leap onto Edwards but he had it scouted and then dodges out of the way before grabbing Aaron’s arm and whipping towards the opposite corner rather hard. Then he gets a destructive smile across his face as he charges at Aaron. After he has come out of the corner with one of signatures, Pack Attack.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oooh, vicious!
Then Edwards smiles once more as he cuts his throat to indicate that this is the end of Aaron’s night. Edwards proceeds to hook Aaron into a Front Facelock before grabbing onto Aaron’s right leg as well. Then he lifts Aaron up for what appears to be a Fisherman’s Buster. But instead slams him down with his finisher, the Suck It, Bitches!
Then Edwards hooks the near leg as the referee makes the count for the cover…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Then the referee signals for the bell as “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Hellyeah comes over the PA. Then Edwards stands up looking proud at his accomplishment of defeating the number one contender to the Underground Title. The referee proceeds to raise Edwards’s arm as some orderlies and med staff come out to assist Aaron to the back. Then Edwards heads out of the ring as well while also making a belt motion saying that gold will be in his future soon.

"Spooky Scary Skeletons(ReMix)" plays over Sanatorium speakers, lights dim, artificial fog fills the entrance ramp. Sickly lime green and violet purple lights flicker at the feet of none other than the Spooky Scary Skeletons! Mike Lavicle seems to be all business with only a slight bob to his head to the music; Hugh Merus is the happy go lucky one, doing his best to get the rest of the fans into the festivities. Directly behind them is the rather creepy Necrosis, cute in a "totally going to murder you in your sleep" kind of way. She moves with the motions of a horror movie monster herky-jerky with perfect pantomime. Eventually, they all enter the ring as fans shower the ropes with orange and black streamers in joke fanfare.

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Shogun included these two teams in that epic dual ring battle! What do they have left in the tank!?
Respective poses and turns, a side by side strut to the ring within Sanatorium's arena, sliding in side by side mimicking each other, then jogging to opposite turnbuckles to play to their collective fan bases. They switch to the other opposing idle turnbuckles to make sure no ounce of spotlight isn't soaked in. Each removes entrance gear, as they meet with a fist bump on their team side of the ring. Hunger and intent to cause pain stare out of their glares knowing how good the other is, and how fucked their ego's say the Skellies are.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Why doesn't he bathe...
Pedro hides when Hel looks at him, then peeks out when she looks away over and over.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Per usual these cocky fucks look ready to roll. Our guest referee for this match, Killjoy! Wait, WHAT!?
Killjoy waves at the crowd, as the Icons look on confused as to how the Skellies order giver got in as the referee for this match. Killjoy points at his ref shirt and nods reassuringly at Iconoclast's questions with a side wink toward the Skellies corner. Gabe and Chris back up and drop it, discussing who will take first action in the tag bout. Killjoy walks over toward the ring hand to signal for the bell.
DING- DING- DING-
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I feel so bad now, Pedro is shaking his head. I'M SORRY DUDE, JUST BATHE! NOBODY LIKES A SAD PANDA!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
FORGET THE FUCKING MAN-DA! Match underway now...
Chaos enters as Gabe flips to the apron. Hugh Merus is in for the Skellies first with Mike exiting to his corner. Hugh and Chris circle for a quick feel out then lock up in center. Chaos moves to a hammer lock, Hugh twist counters into a half nelson, Chris goes low then back lifts Hugh who flips into a standing position behind Chaos, Chris back kicks delivering a low blow right between Hugh Merus' legs. Chaos points to his head to show how smart he is. Killjoy sees his sweet boy fall with a lemon eating look on his face forward onto the mat. Killyjoy sticks his finger in Chaos' face, who now puts up his arms explaining he kicked back and "just happened" to hit Skeleton gelatin, unintentionally.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANIv
Ooof!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
He knew what he was doing...
Hugh Merus willows over to Mike for the tag as Killjoy prevents Chris from stopping the tag out under the guise of a warning. Lavicle springs into action, jabbing in the air toward Chris who retreats in a circle avoiding the punches, then full frontal skeletal toe kicks Chris in the nads. Killjoy looks toward the crowd as if he missed it. Gabe shouts at Killyjoy to "do his fucking job." Killyjoy shrugs as Chaotic pain hits. Mike points to his head mimicking Chaos in spooky delight.

Great officiating here tonight.

I was watching Necrosis trying to buy celery off Pedro out here.

With what, Panda dollars?
The shot pans to Pedro hopping in excitement looking down at Necrosis' feet.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
No, it appears they have some sort of handshake agreement for her skeleton bamboo sandals.
A large thud in the ring, the shots switches back to the action. Reno is hopping angrily on the apron as Killjoy is saying Chaos tagging out won't be allowed until he competes for 5 more minutes. Lavicle grabs a fistful of blonde hair and begins running the Icon's face across the middle rope as he is trying to recover from the ball busting skeletal toe kick. Chris moans as the burn on his cheek is second only to the burn on his man plumbs.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Reno has to wait his turn!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
What tag match works like that, Modani??
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
This... one..?
Chaos back into a corner riving in pain sitting at the turnbuckle, as Mike back up then delivers a boney bronco buster to the stunned Icon. Gabe screams at Pedro to stop making backdoor deals with their adversaries. Pedro hides behind Hel's chair.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Awww nooo! Not sad Panda again! OoooOo that smell again...
Pedro hides behind Zane's chair, trying to fit into his new bamboo Skellie sandals clearly too small for his paws. Necrosis chomps on celery watching the match play out from the barricade. Lavicle stomps on Chaos repeatedly with no referee warning until Chris is limp with a dazed out look in his eyes. Gabe is emphatically screaming at Killjoy who crosses his arms arrogantly in protest. Mike walks over to the recovered Hugh Merus, tags him in and grabs Chaos for a tag maneuver. They pick up the reeling Chris and deliver their patented "Staycation At Tibia Rasa" Leg Sweep and Kangaroo Kick Combination. Hugh covers as Mike blocks Gabe's ring entrance by sliding in front of him with an eye rake. Killyjoy tries a quick count.
ONE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
This is ridiculous! They won't let Gabe into this tag team match!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I think it's a smart strategy. Gotta do what it takes to win in the ring at the Asylum, G, you of all people should know that!
TWO!

KICK OUT! Hugh puts Chaos' shoulders back down for a quicker count from Killyjoy.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
CHAOS KICKED OUT OF THAT!

KICK OUT!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
AND THAT!
Hugh gets up in frustrated as Killjoy looks on stunned at the resilience of Chaos. A deep tortured look overtakes Chris' face. Hugh hits him with an axe smashes as Chris' goes to one knee, then another axe smash, Chris still rising to his feet despite an onslaught of axe smashes and knife edge chops to the chest. Merus backs up begging for mercy.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Chris knows Gabe can't help him, so he is Hulking up to try to fend off the Skellies attack!
Chaos roars in Hugh Merus' face then runs at him, he narrowly avoids it, SPEAR TO KILLJOY! The referee is down, Hugh looks at his fallen mentor with Skellie rage, he hops on Chaos' back clawing at his already rope burnt cheeks. Chaos spins around, as Mike Lavicle pulls Killyjoy out of the ring under the ropes to ensure his safety. Chaos flings Hugh but the momentum sends both men toppling over the top rope to the Asylum mat below. Mike slides back in wondering where the two went and is greeting by a springboard forearm smash from the livid Radical.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
He is not the legal man!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANTV
Neither is LAVICLE! THE REF IS DOWN ANYWAY!
Gabe picks up Mike delivering an overhead pele-kick, inciting the crowd with energy from all corners of the arena. Hugh's eyes peek over the ring apron from the floor, he grabs Gabe's leg from the outside, Reno looks up getting a missile drop kick from the top rope from Necrosis. He falls through the ropes to the outside. Meanwhile Chaos catches Hugh with a snap DDT on the mat outside for good measure. Necrosis maniacally giggles pointing at Gabe's unexpected fate, behind her, two furry bamboo barely covered sandal black and white feet step down. She turns as Pedro with pulsating fuming shoulders looks up, realizing the sandals don't fit, and he's out several celery sticks as a result of the con by Necrosis. She giggles again, he steps toward her, she tries to bail but he grabs the remaining celery from her back pocket. She turns shouting that a deal is a deal, as he buries her face in his unbathed arm pit.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
O. M. G. I'm gonna throw up!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
It's pandemonium in the ring!
Killjoy finally gets to his feet after the massive spear by Chaos, he turns and it's ANOTHER MASSIVE SPEAR BY CHAOS. Chris looks down with a smirk, pointing again at his head about how smart he is after sneaking around the ring post quietly to catch a second spear on Killjoy. Gabe gets to his feet on the other side, as Necrosis runs by being chased up the ramp by Pedro. Gabe trips the bitch, allowing for a Panda pancake on top of her screaming Skellie person. Reno smirks, then turns to get decked by now attacking Mike Lavicle. Mike mounts Gabe with a variety on boney knuckle fists.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
OooOOO GOD! That poor Skellie girrrll! He did that on purpose! She almost got away! A deal is a deal, G!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
And she is finding that out as we speak. There's the referee!
The real scheduled ref emerges from the back removing duct tape from his face, Orderlies race down as the ref points out Killjoy as his kidnapper. They escort the still injured patriarch of the Skellies to an Asylum cell in back, careful to guard their noses as they pass Necrosis being smeared with filth by Pedro on the ramp. Mike gets off Gabe, seeing his mentor taken and follows the Orderlies yelling at them to let Killjoy go. Chaos tosses Hugh back into the ring. The referee slides in to finish officiating the match. A groggy Reno rises to his feet and stumbles over the the apron, rising back to his tag team corner, looking on confused. Chaos propels Hugh off the ropes, but Hugh ducks under a clothesline, decking him with a desperate clothesline of his own as Chaos rebounds to return the favor in a double clothesline decking.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Gabe is back on the tag rope here, Killyjoy has been taken by Orderlies for kidnapping our scheduled referee, and Necrosis is inhaling something so vile we prefer to just rate this episode NC-17 and move on!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Please do- Chaos and Hugh both down from that exchange!
Chaos' eyes flicker as Merus uses the far side ropes to try and pull himself back up, realizing his partner has vacated the premises in pursuit of Killyjoy's freedom. Chris looks up at Gabe, they lock eyes like a smelling salt, refreshing both men's focus on the task at hand. Chris points at Gabe, as the Asylum erupts with cheer for the man who still hasn't technically been legally entered into the match. Iconic hands slap. The real referee acknowledges the tag, Reno darts over the top rope, pointing at Hugh Merus as he rises in the corner opposite.
Gabe darts across the ring nailing Hugh with a sidewalk double drop kick causing him to recoil off the ropes, then fall toward the center of the ring on his back. Gabe ascends the top rope as the barely standing Chaos hangs by the tag rope in the corner and uses all his might to get a chant beat moves off the top of the turnbuckle ring post. Reno's eyes turn cold, Merus doesn't realize what is happening, RATED R front flip leg drop into a pin.

WINNER VIA PINFALL: THE ICONOCLAST
Christy is stretching in her cell as she prepares for her return title match with Kiki. She unhooks the Underground title belt from her bunk.
CHRISTY WINTERS
You knowI’ve hardly had time to get acquainted with being Underground Champion, before having to defend against you again Kiki.
Kiki we’ve had this on and off rivalry since arriving in the Sanatorium, tonight it ends. Kiki, after I beat you tonight, you can never challenge for the Underground title while I am champion, and I intend to hold this title for a very long time. Tonight I stake my claim as the best Underground champion of all time, why because I am that good, you know how good i am Kiki and you know deep down I’m better than you.
Christy straps the Underground Title around her waist.

You have to know that Kiera did her homework and now she knows what Christy is bringing to the table.
"Make Them Suffer" plays Christy makes her way to the ring, attempting to attack anyone who attempts to touch her, she slides under the ropes and sits in the corner.
The sound of “SleepWalking” by Diamante is heard over the sound system. Out onto the stage area steps the tentative woman Kiera Kartharsies. Her bright blue and dark black hair covering her face. Locking her elbows with her hands behind her back, she slowly moves down to the ring. Once to the ring, she lays on the apron, then lays down to roll under the bottom rope. Once in the ring, she moves to the nearest corner and crouches down as though hiding from someone or something. After a moment or two there, “SleepWalking” fades to silence.
With everyone in the ring, Zane begins the introductions for this championship match.

We’re ready to get this match started and there’s the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
They both size each other up knowing what’s on the line and as they step forward, they lock up. Both women let out grunting noises as each one battles for leverage until Christy hooks her foot behind Kiera’s leg and trips her.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Christy with a heel trip. Both women are on the mat.
On top, Christy is throwing Rights and Lefts as some connect but Kiera also blocks a few shots. Christy quickly gets angered and grabs Kiera by the hair and delivers a headbutt that mannequins Kiera.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oh what a vicious headbutt by Christy.

That’s one way to stop someone.
Christy just lays across Kiera and the referee hits the mat.

Kick-out by Kiera but she looked like she was knocked out.
Christy gets to a knee and then to her feet as she pulls Kiera by the hair to her feet. No, Christy puts her boot to the face of Kiera and rakes her boot across her face. Kiera wildly swings an arm while grabbing at her face and grabs the hold of Christy’s ankle. Christy stomps on Kiera’s arm as she lets go. Rolling to her back holding her arm now, Christy again goes for a stomp but Kiera again goes to grab at an ankle or leg but delivers a forearm shot that damages Christy enough to drop her to a knee.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oh! Look at that. Kiera just chopped Christy down to her level.
Kiera uses her leg and kicks at the back of Christy and then the back of her head. Christy struggles to try and maintain Kiera’s leg but reaches up as Christy bends forward and rolls Christy up into a small package pin.
ONE!
TWO!

Christy barely escapes the pin attempt and stands to her feet. Hitting the rope, Christy goes for a jumping knee drop but Kiera moves.

As the drop kick connected, Christy rolled over to her stomach. Kiera gets on the back of Christy and grabs at an arm. Christy struggles and rolls over as they end up rolling to the ropes. The referee goes to tell them to break for the ropes but their momentum continues and they roll outside of the ring and onto the floor.

And they’re on the floor! This is going to get ugly real quick now.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
Now Kiera is in Christy’s territory.
The fall broke the hold as both women lay on the floor. The referee exits the ring to check on them but Christy holds on to the referee to get to her feet. As Kiera is getting to her feet, Christy pushes the referee into Kiera and the referee hits the apron and falls to the floor. Christy is to her feet and pulls Kiera by the hair to her. She delivers a forearm shot to the jaw and then a Russian leg sweep into the side of the ring.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oh man! Did you see that? Christy might’ve exposed an injury.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
If not, she’s going to make one.
Christy grabs Kiera’s wrist and pulls her towards her again and drops her to the floor with a short-arm clothesline. The referee gets to her feet and turns to see Kiera on the floor. Christy whips Kiera into the guardrail and her knees buckle, dropping to her knee. Christy steps back and runs at Kiera delivering a knee lift that snaps Kiera backwards, hitting her head on the guardrail.

Falling to the floor, Kiera pulls herself up on the ropes. The referee goes to count for Christy…

WINNER VIA PINFALL: KIERA KATHARSIES
We cut back to the Sanatorium where a beaten and battered pair of Spooky Scary Skeleton’s seem to be sitting down with heavy heated blankets covering their persons.
We know this office...we’ve seen it before. It’s one of the few offices in the Sanatorium with an easily accessed flat screen and DVD player. The desk has knick-knacks of Precious Moments figures along the front, an old timey desk lamp with a green glass shade. The nameplate is what truly gives it away.
NURSE RAWSON.
They appear to have cups of hot cocoa dolloped with whipped cream and a plate of fresh baked cookies placed between them on a raised coffee table. Hugh Merus appears to be shivering while Mike Lavicle merely looked exhausted from their earlier battle with the Iconoclast. The camera panes around to view what they are watching from behind the Skellies shoulders and we see that they are watching a DVD rip of “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?” an old Nickelodeon TV Show from the nineties. Mike turns towards his brother and seems to notice that it’s not just shivering but perhaps...crying? He knows that it was a tough battle against the likes of Gabe Reno & Chris Chaos, but win or lose they at least made it out alive didn’t they? Mike had to console his friend.
MIKE LAVICLE | SAGE OF THE DIVINERS
Hey...Hugh buddy. It’s alright...we made it you know? You don’t have to cry. We’re safe now.
Merus sniffles as his masked skellie head turns towards Lavicle, and he nods his head.
HUGH MERUS | COUNT OF CATS
I-I know Mikey...it’s just...that old lady...she just wanted a friend. And that little girl, she chose to spend time with o-other people...and now the ghost of the l-lady...she’s gone!
Oh...Hugh was crying over the plot of the latest episode of AYAOTD after all. It wasn’t related to the match...Mike’s shoulders slunk in defeat. Behind them, a man in the while orderly uniform of the Sanatorium taps on his shoulder and offers him a box of Kleenex.
ORDERLY | BILL
I know, man, gets me every time too. Thanks for sharing the cookies, this was one of my favorite shows.
The Skellies must have found their way into Rawson’s office with the help of Bill the Orderly. Who else would have a key? Only a moment later, the lights are flipped on and the camera moves to the doorway. Standing there is the incomparably disappointed Nurse Rawson and the Skellies are obviously BUSTED.
HUGH MERUS | COUNT OF CATS
Gasp! Mommy-I mean, Nurse Rawson!!!
Merus is frozen in fear. Mike grabs the plate of cookies and holds it out in tribute.
MIKE LAVICLE | SAGE OF THE DIVINERS
...Cookie Mrs. Rawson?
She steps forward into her office, appraising the situation she’s found with an expression of more severe disappointment than just a few moments ago.
SANATORIUM NURSE | PAT RAWSON
Thank you, but I must refuse. Dearie, it is NURSE Rawson, and I’ll thank you to clean up those crumbs from my floor right now.
Bill the Orderly shares their guilty expression, clearly surrounded by his own mountain of crumbs before brushing some of the mess from his formerly pristine uniform.
ORDERLY | BILL
Yes, yes, Skellies. You made such a mess. You need to clean this up.
Mike Lavicle, in a panic, drops the plate of cookies and scrambles to begin picking things up as he quickly darts his head from Nurse Rawson, to the mess he just made, back to the show, up to Rawson again and then finally back to the cookies.
MIKE LAVICLE | SAGE OF THE DIVINERS
Yes Nurse Rawson! Right away Nurse Rawson!
SANATORIUM NURSE | PAT RAWSON
You will grab a broom and help them, Bill--seeing as they had no other way to access my office besides the key hanging from your keyring.
ORDERLY | BILL
Aw hell--
SANATORIUM NURSE | PAT RAWSON
Excuse me, dearie?
ORDERLY | BILL
Aww...shucks?
SANATORIUM NURSE | PAT RAWSON
That’s better. Now, the mess?
Hugh Merus appears still frozen in fear in his seat. How much of this is actual fear and how much is stalling for time until the episode is over is difficult to discern. But he slowly ascends from his seated position.
HUGH MERUS | COUNT OF CATS
Hebedebedepebedehebedebe….Y-You look very handsome tonight Nurse Rawson!
The Sanatorium Nurse crosses her office, staring at the television for a moment before finding the remote and hitting the power button. The screen goes black, thus furthering desire for them to get to cleaning up the mess now. [/b]
ORDERLY | BILL
Dang it, Hugh--you don’t tell old women they look handsome--
Nurse Rawson frowns and hands him a broom. She then crosses over to the DVD player, popping out the disc and returning it to the case. It gets put in her purse before she turns back to them.
SANATORIUM NURSE | PAT RAWSON
Ten minutes and my office better be back to the way it was. Mr. Merus, Mr. Lavicle, if you are in here again without my permission you will receive zero of the meringue cookies we bake in group therapy this week. Am I understood?
The Spooky Scary Skeletons & Orderly Bill all nod their heads in agreement as they feverishly try to restore the office in its original condition. Meringue cookies are on the line here. At last, we return to the show at hand.
Nothing More's 'Christ Copyright' assaults the loudspeakers. V walks to the fucking ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is your MAIN EVENT of the evening! Making his way to the ring, he is the current Asylum Champion...V!
The lights in the arena go pitch black. Then the opening 30 seconds of This Hell by We Are The Flesh begins...
Then a video begins to play on the Tron that displays a montage of war, death and other scenes of destruction. Then after a few moments, a huge fiery explosion goes off. And then the song begins to pick up ever harder. Then out of the back comes, "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom surrounded by like four orderlies. "This Hell" by We Are The Flesh continues to play as it now appears he is locked in what appears to be a straitjacket of some kind. Then after the orderlies reach the end of the ramp, they let him out of the jacket and he attempts to go berserk. They instruct him to go into the ring and handle it there.
RING ANNOUNCER | ZANE MULHOLLAND
And his opponent! Representing the Order of the Soulless! He is “The Unstoppable Killing Machine”, Phantom!
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, 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 at the opponent until the referee signals for the bell.
DING DING DING
The match fires off on all cylinders right off the bat. As the Asylum Champion shoots off his corner and immediately connects with a huge running big boot to the face of The Phantom! You can tell the Unstoppable Killing Machine was not expecting such a sudden start to this one, as he staggers towards the top-middle of the ring assisted by the ropes. Notably, the monster does not leave his feet. V does not let up however, as he continues to blast Phantom’s solar plexus with boxing style body shots. Two-three-four shots to the midsection of Phantom. V whips his target to the other side of the ring, and shouts as he tries to amass enough pressure to take the big man down with a shoulder block. BOOM! Two mountains clash but neither man budges. The Beast known as V tries to earn that moniker once more, never tiring in intensity as he runs back to the ropes. But whatever he had planned is immediately taken out from him as Phantom lets out his own animalistic warcry and leaves his feet in a sudden, torpedo like motion! That’s right, before V even knew what hit him, Phantom crushed his opponent with a lightning quick shoulder tackle!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Wowza! The Asylum Champion with some absolute fire right out of the gate, but did you see that tackle by Phantom?!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
It was like he shot himself from an invisible cannon, and everybody was caught off guard, especially V!
V scrambles to catch his breath after having the wind knocked out of him out of nowhere. He goes to the corner and pulls himself up by the ropes. The Phantom stampedes his way into the direction of the champion expecting to crush him again with a big splash. But V has the wherewithal to shoulder roll underneath the giant frame of his opponent. Phantom is able to pivot at the last moment to land back first against the turnbuckle as opposed to bumping his chest. Which allows him to start walking back towards V, who’s ricocheted off the ropes once again. It’s clear the champion is trying to gain as much momentum assisted by the ropes as possible to take down the big man, this time firing off a HARD lariat to the chest of Phantom. The Unstoppable Killing Machine staggers just a little, his arms flailing behind him to restore balance. But still, the monster does not leave his feet. Frustrated, V beckons for Phantom to come at the champ. “Give me your best shot!” he’s heard shouting over the din of the crowd.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
You can see the frustration mounting for V there. He doesn’t want to play this “Immovable Object” game with Phantom. He’s telling his opponent, you come to me!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
The crazy thing here is that V is no small man himself! Each of those blows from him is like getting hit with a driving pitch from a pro-baller with a shotgun arm! But Phantom weathers the blows like some supernatural freak!
Phantom obliges this request, lumbering forward with a heavy overhand strike. V of course, ducks it, merely baiting the giant to give him more opportunities to execute more iron fisted body blows to the opponent. Two-Three-Four more shots are thudding one after another into the girth of Phantom, who begs off V with a concrete block sized headbutt that stuns the champion! Phantom then viciously follows up with a clubbing blow to the back of the neck of V that causes him to crumble to the mat in pain.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Phantom with a massive blow, skulls for the skull throne committed against the Asylum Champion. You gotta wonder if it’s been wise for V to commit so much offense to his prison style roots and brawling as opposed to his traditional power moves repertoire!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
A lot of that has to be attributed to the sheer size of Phantom, Gia. V’s gonna have a difficult time getting the big man off his feet, and that headbutt right there proves this! If V tried to get in too close and tie himself up for a throw, The Unstoppable Killing Machine would just as soon knock his block off!
The Unstoppable Killing Machine surely doesn’t let up here, as he takes full advantage of his prone opponent. Phantom stomps over the lower back of V as he tries to crawl away. The referee warns Phantom to let go due to the monster using the top rope to assist putting additional pressure on the lower back of V. The referee gets all the way to a four count before physically attempting to pull Phantom off his charge. The monster briefly argues with the referee, threatening violence. This allows V to get back to his feet, pulling on the ropes and gritting his teeth in frustration at Phantom’s ability to take it to him thus far. Phantom bypasses the admonishment of the referee as he turns towards the Asylum Champion and rocks him with body shots of his own. V guffaws from the heavy offense of the Killing Machine, and Phantom follows up with a biiiig body slam that repositions V to the center of the ring!

Ooooh! V is sent down to the mat landing right on his occipital protuberance, right there. Phantom is just physically dissecting the Asylum Champion right now!

I think the key here is that if left to a war of high impact moves, you have to give the advantage to V, as strange as that is to say! The Soulless Phantom is playing a waiting game, wearing down the champion. A battle of attrition if you will!
Phantom however, is not going for a cover. The perception being here that both men probably have far too much respect for one another to think that anything done thus far would be enough to end the match. Rather, especially Phantom deems it more important to maintain offense while he has the advantage. He taunts the crowd with growls and snarls, grabbing V by his head and trying to pull the champion back up to a vertical base. But in an act of sheer desperation, V is able to find it within himself to fire off a huge rising uppercut to the Phantom! The giant staggers STILL not off his feet! But V looks around the ring, wild eyed searching for a solution to this problem. V skids over to the corner turnbuckle, grabbing onto the middle ropes behind him, and bounces off with all of the physical strength he can muster, and he SPEARS Phantom right out of his boots! Metaphorically speaking. But either way, it finally does the trick and the monster FINALLY is taken off his feet!

Oohhhh! That right there! Right fucking there! V’s got Phantom off his feet, it’s gotta be all over now!

Don’t count your chickens before the colonel’s got a full bucket, Gia! I’d normally try to break down the predicament both fighters are in, but hot damn that was an impressive takedown!
V takes a few precious moments to catch his breath, but otherwise does not let up on his advantage over Phantom here. Getting back to a more dominant position standing over the recovering giant, V stomps and punches away at the back, shoulder, hands and face of his opponent. Phantom continues to rise to his feet in defiance, reaching one knee. V curses audibly and runs for the ropes once more, and blasts Phantom once again with a big boot to the side of his head to bring him back down to the mat.

Looks like it’s V’s turn for the evisceration of the Unstoppable Killing Machine. The strikes are coming so hot and heavy that you’d think we were witnessing a theatrical display from the Marquis de Sade himself!

I hate to burst your bondage bubble, Gia but I have to come back to our earlier analysis. V looks to be solidly in control at the moment, but again he’s forced into a pure brawler’s game here. It’s going to be extremely difficult to keep Phantom down for three seconds if he can’t land a big move soon here!
The Asylum Champion signals that he’s going to go for the Rexall Psychodriver finishing move. It takes some effort to grab the Unstoppable Killing Machine and raise him to his feet. V labours to place the big man on his shoulders, and even succeeds at taking the big man off his feet momentarily, but no! Phantom smashes a fist into the lower back of V, which causes him to crash to his knees under the weight of his opponent. V tries to scoot away, but Phantom takes a Polish Hammer double fist attack right across the back of V! The Asylum Champion is no small man, but it seems as if the bloodlust of Phantom gives him even more freakish supernatural power, as he deadlifts his opponent right off the mat and locks in an airtight bear hug!

V was moment’s away from putting this one in the books, but Phantom is just too strong! If the indestructible toughness wasn’t bad enough, I can’t imagine what the back of the Asylum Champ is feeling like right now. Shed some light on this for us, Hel.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
The pressure on the lower back has got to be immense right now. But it’s not even the moment that’s worst part of it. Even if V finds a way out of this, he’s gonna wake up in the morning and everything down from his toes up to his shoulders are going to be screaming in pain, all centered around the damage being done to the spine as we speak!
The Beast is definitely fading in the arms of the Phantom. The iron maiden grip of the Killing Machine makes escape from this hold by conventional means utterly impossible. The referee moves into position to lift the arms of V to check and see if he is going to surrender. But the Asylum Champion is still very much conscious, wrenching an arm away from the ref and yelling at him “What are you doing? Ahh!” as Phantom forces his opponent to refocus on the hold at hand. V’s arms continue to lower as the life is sapped from his person. The champion beckons to the audience, as is wrestling tradition. He hopes to gather up the energy of the people to give him strength and allow him to fight out of this hold. But the cheers do not come, the audience more captivated by the action in general and not really rooting for one man over the other. Just as it seems all hope may be lost for V, his eyes turn from a pleading tear to a sharpened gaze of hatred. Hatred for his predicament, hatred for the lack of support from the third man to will him onward. As if the world wanted to see him lose. And most of all, hatred for his opponent for doing this much damage and bringing him this close to the brink of defeat. With all this upwelling inside, V charges his fists and brutalizes Phantom with a double bell ringer to the ears of Phantom!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | GIA VAN ZANT
Oh lord what an ear ringer by the champion! He looked around the world for support and found none. So what does V do? He digs down deep, harnessing his own reserves of energy caged beneath his most violent emotions! This is going to be a moment of truth for V! It’s now or never!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
I hate to agree with you but the champs suffered a lot of damage to the lower back here. If he doesn’t connect with the Rexall now, Phantom isn’t gonna give him the opportunity!
This move is delivered with such force that is nearly deafens the Unstoppable Killing Machine for real. He relinquishes the bear hug, stepping back and trying to shake the cobwebs out. V stomps on the toe of Phantom, causes even more pressure to leave the center of gravity for the giant. This, alongside the pure hatred induced adrenaline coursing through V’s veins, allows him to finally position himself behind Phantom. Although the lower back pain is significant enough to prevent V from fully executing the fireman’s carry set up of the Rexall, he decides to implement the Pump Handle slam variation of his patented maneuver. Known in certain circles as the Psycho Driver II, The Asylum Champion is able to finally devastate Phantom with the Rexall! The referee even bounces off his feet from the impact of such a move being performed onto the monstrous Phantom, but this is perhaps V’s best chance at putting the big man away!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

WINNER VIA PINFALL: V

What an absolute barn burner of a contest, Hel! Phantom continues to show us, week after week, no matter how many times you knock him down, he is ALWAYS threat. ALWAYS a challenge to overcome. But you gotta think this still stings for the Order to come up short on a golden opportunity.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | HEL MODANI
V is a living legend in this business, Gia. As much as the Order wants a crack at him, they’ll have to find another path to the top. Legion is waiting in the wings. The Radical Gabe Reno wants his own revenge. V is not safe with his victory. Not by a long shot.
The referee hands V his Asylum Championship, who quickly but painfully rolls out of the ring and holds his lower back wincing from the hurt. Although victorious, the champion definitely looks worse for wear in this exchange. No one will be able to say that Phantom didn’t bring a war to the champion, and impressed on this night.
