Layers of Silence
It had been almost a month since The Legion had heard or seen anything from Sah'ta Thor. Not a word had been uttered from him since before his shot at the Chaos Championship on Chaos 98. In fact the last time his voice had been heard had been when he had posted a post We Are Relentless video to the Carnage website. A video that had been meant to summarize his career to date inside Carnage Wrestling. Yet, in the end all it had served as was a means for people to wish Sah'ta Thor dead. Even now a month after the video had been posted the comments posted from fellow members of the roster still haunted him.
"It is amazing how easy it is for the truth to come out in the silence. By now it is no secret that I am universally hated here on the Carnage Wrestling roster. It is almost ironic that the reasons I am hated aren't the reality. People hate me because they say I am a power hungry cult leader bent on brainwashing the masses. Or some variant of that tale ever since I had the kids from Imperial Youth Wrestling come by on their way to WrestleStock. The reality of it is that it doesn't matter what I have said on that and many other issues I am the bad guy. In the eyes of many I have always been the bad guy and nothing I say or do will change that perception."
With these words the image of Sah'ta Thor standing in the center of an unknown bridge. Down below was a flowing river serving as a backdrop to the scene.
"I have to wonder if people have even stopped to take a few things into account. With my legacy and career accomplishments I could have burst onto the scene and demanded a shot at the Carnage World Championship. Or any belt on the roster for that matter. However, I didn't demand such a shot, oh no I came in and issued a challenge for the Openweight Championship. We all know the story of how that went down so I am not going to rehash it here. Though I want the point to be made that I didn't come in expecting to be given instant top booking. Hell, even now I don't expect that. Contrary to popular belief I want to earn my championships.
Thor stops speaking as he pulls a bag of rocks from his pocket and sets on the bridge railing. With a sad smile on his lips he pulls a stone from the bag and tosses it into the water below. Once it sinks below the water he watches the rippling rings spread out over the water before he speaks again.
"Which brings me to my last match in Carnage Wrestling. A match for the newly created Chaos Championship. Honestly, I should have been flattered to be given the first shot at the belt in Harry's first defense. Yet, instead I was insulted by what was nothing more than a pity shot. You see the shot was booked just days after the last video package I posted on the Carnage Network. We all saw what happened at We Are Relentless when I lost my shot at the Baltimore City Championship. Of course that was mere hours before I was left for dead in a post even beatdown. A beat down that still has yet to be explained. However, the thing is that I didn't do a damn thing to earn a shot at the Chaos Championship yet I was given the match."
As the words fall silent Thor tosses another stone into the river below allowing his thoughts to focus before he continues on.
"We all saw how that match went with Harry retaining in what was essentially a squash match. Let me be clear, that loss was intentional on my part. There are multiple reasons for this fact but namely I knew I hadn't earned the match. I KNEW deep down that I wasn't expected to win the Chaos Title on Chaos 98. Though it goes deeper than that, I knew that I had an obligation for Chaos 100. The all encompassing end to the feud started by Matt Knox. The chain match that he challenged me to long before We Are Relentless. Simple reality is that I wasn't about to let our match be muddled by the fact I was holding a championship belt. Go ahead and hate me even more for my reasoning. I will be completely honest. I am at the point where I am about to become what you think I am. I have explained my actions multiple times and have owned up to what I have down here in Carnage since my debut. Yet, the truth is no one gives a shit about what I have had to say. Least of all Matthew Knox and his allies."
Another stone is flicked into the river causing more ripples to spread over the surface for a few brief seconds as Thor takes a breath.
"Ever since Matt Knox came into Carnage Wrestling he has been after me. I get part of why he has been after me all this time but like I said when he first called me out I wanted him at his best. You see our history goes back to 2007 when we worked for the long defunct Fantasy Wrestling Federation. If I recall correctly we first crossed paths about the time his then girlfriend Charlie James died. It could have been a few months before that but as I recall, it was my family who kept the Raven from self-destructing. Or at the very least prevented for quite some time. Which does beg the question, does Bert know about Charlie? Or has that sad tidbit been kept from Knox's young friend? Not that it matters in the end does it Matt? You see in the end it was you who walked away from everything and became a self admitted drugged out hermit. Yet, I am the bad guy in this thing?"
Thor's tone is both sad and filled with a bit of anger as he flings several rocks into the river below, not ever caring where they fell.
"I know that I should have done more to seek you out all those years ago but you made it clear that you didn't want anything to do with the family. A family that I still consider you to be part of Matt. I know that I am considered to be a monster who you want to slay but I am not the one who started this war Matthew. If you have bothered to listen to anything I have had to say about this you will know that all I want is for us to move past this. Knox seems to think I have this huge issue with him but the reality is that I have missed my son-in-law. I have missed being able to talk with the Raven as an equal in the ring and not some hated enemy. I get it though, he would hate me for walking away from the wrestling ring all those years ago instead of admitting that he made that choice on his own."
Silence falls as Thor stares out over the river below while he toys with the rocks still on in the bag. A look at his face reveals a man who was filled with multiple intense and conflicting emotions. Sadness and anger mix with determination and tired resignation all play over his face in a silent parade. A silent parade of inner turmoil that was almost beyond putting to words.
"Yet, in the end this isn't about what Knox has or hasn't done since he came to Carnage Wrestling, No it is all about the war I declared in a moment of personal weakness. A war that frankly should never have been declared but like I said weeks ago. I had a moment of weakness. A moment of weakness that has taken on a life of its own. Yet, the truth is that the cause of that weakness is still alive and well within the halls of the Carnage Wrestling. Yet, I wonder how would the Legion feel I was really the type of person that some on the roster think I am? What if I really was the power hungry egotist that I have been made out to be? I am sure few if any of you have reflected on that idea but that is okay I am used to being hated by the roster and management. In fact, it is a hallmark of my career. Which is something that Knox should recall from our FWF and PWE days."
With several savage throws another pair of stones are tossed into the water below by an emotion driven Sah'ta Thor.
"Win or lose at Chaos 100 it doesn't matter since Knox has already won in the eyes of the locker room. Just like he always managed to do years ago he has managed to become part of a social circle that feeds into his view of things. It is something that I always admired about him back in the day. You see no matter how hard I have tried to find a social network to support me it always seems to fall apart. Now that is probably a testament to my own personalization issues more than anything else but let's be honest I have tried to be more than people think I am. After Chaos 100 the reality is that Knox will still have the new family he has so admittedly chosen while I will more than likely still be the hated pariah that many want dead."
Thor falls silent as his voice catches in his throat. He bows his head as he takes a moment to pull his emotions back under control. After what seems to be an eternity Thor lifts his head to reveal a barely contained savage grin.
"Yet all of that is a bridge I will cross in the aftermath of our epic showdown at Chaos 100. You see while I didn't start this feud I will do what I have to do to end it. Let's not forget that it was Knox back at We Are Relentless who issued the challenge for our upcoming match to be a chain match. Of course that was after he and his allies defeated the rest of Insidious to earn the right to pick the stipulation in the first place. Yet, I have no issue with the match stipulation as I have made no secret of enjoying brutal matches. Hell some of my best work in the ring has been done while in the confines of extreme stipulations. All you have to do is take a look at my greatest match archive to see the reality of that fact."
A handful of rocks are flung into the water below as Thor licks his lips to wet them as his stance shifts into that of a fighter preparing to go on the offensive.
"At Chaos 100 the war that started in the aftermath of Chaos 93 will come to an end. Matthew Knox and I will be tied together by six feet of steel chain. There will be no disqualifications in this match and trust me I know that this match will have to be fought with the savagery of a cornered animal. Oh, to make things even more interesting in order to win this match one of us will have to drag the other around the ring to touch the ring post in a sequential order within a short time period. Which will be even harder than it sounds as let's be honest we will both be doing our dead level best to beat the life out of each other. The question I have is if Matt knows just what he has chosen to get into with this match."
The sound of the river below is the only thing heard as Thor stops to speak while his face takes on the richter of contemplation.
"Everything that can be reached in this match will be legal to use. Every part of our bodies and the chain itself will be legal in this brawl. Yet, I have to wonder if Matt is up to his full 100% self after the war he went through with Lab Rat King? Are those ribs more than bone fragments? Or how about that knee? Is the Raven even going to be able to do more than limp to the ring come our match? In the end it doesn't matter what shape The Raven will be in come our match since we all know he won't back down from this fight. After all, he has yet to show any sense of compromise where I am concerned. Which is ironic since I have been saying since day one of this whole thing that I don't have an issue with him. Yet, here we are on the precipice of resolution and I have to wonder once this is over what will be next?"
With that question Thor flings a few more of the stones he had brought into the water below. As the ripples move out from each landing point his eyes watch each expanding circle until they are all swept away by the water's current.
"Here is where I remind you all that I know my back is up against a wall. After all, I am the one with a brain tumor. After all I am the one who is risking my very existence each and every time I lace up my boots. So the question is what do I have to lose? Knox seems to think that this chain match we are will be to his advantage. Yet, I wonder if he understands what it is like to be a dying man? Sure the chain will force the contest he has wanted for months now. However, if you had been paying attention to my side of the story you would know I had no opposition to another match against The Raven. After all, we do have some unfinished business from our past to deal with. Yet, I have said repeatedly before over the last few months I wasn't the one with the hatred. I wasn't the one with the rage and the anger. That was solely the realm of The Raven. Of course it has been laid at my feet since it fits the narrative that The Set wants to paint about this conflict."
With a savage sweep of his arm Thor sends the remaining stone into the air to rain down on the river below. As the stones pepper the water Thor's expression shifts to that of determined hunger.
"While I have never claimed to be a hero here in Carnage Wrestling, at Chaos 100 I will be vindicated.You see by the time I have my hand raised in victory Matthew Knox will be exposed as the villain of this story. All you have to do is take a look back at everything he has said about me since Chaos 93 to understand that he has been the one holding on to the hatred. It has been Matthew Knox who has been the antagonist since he signed his contract. Yet, I am the one everyone hates. After our match this matter ends and maybe just maybe I will get some of the respect that I have wanted for years."
Thor starts to walk off the bridge moving with the manner of a caged animal waiting to be released. As he walks away his phone starts to ring. He quickly answers it after checking to see who was calling.
"What do you know Aaron?"
After a moment of hearing what Aaron had to say Thor's expression turns to an almost relieved smile.
"Have you got any closer in finding out who jumped me after We Are Relentless?"
Thor continues walking as he hears the reply to his question.
"I see. So you will have everything confirmed for Chaos 100?"
Hearing the confirmation for that fact Thor cracks a grin knowing that one of the mysteries he had been trying to figure out was well on its way to being solved.
"Excellent. I will be in Baltimore in a few days and we can talk more then."
With that Thor ends the call as his feet come to the end of the bridge. With a steady step he walks up the dirt path back towards his Hummer. Once he arrives he finds a folded up flier pinned under the windshield wiper. He curiously removes the flier and opens it up to take a look to reveal a logo that started showing up in Carnage Wrestling back at We Are Relentless. Below the logo were the simple words "Contact us." Thor folds the paper and slips it into his pocket wondering just what this group could want with him.
Family Ties
Off Screen
Nathaniel Grant had been preparing for his match at Chaos 100 when he had been called by his daughter Astyrd. Hearing what she had to say he had decided to take a day off of his training to go visit her and help her through the decision she was about to make. Upon arriving at her house she is met by his granddaughter Ivy. Giving her a hug Nathaniel picks her up and carries her towards the Las Vegas house that Astryd lived in with Ivy and Hope. Once inside Nathaniel sets Ivy down before turning to head into the dining room where his daughter was waiting for him a bunch of paperwork.
"I came as soon as I could. I have to ask if you are sure you want to do this."
As Nathaniel sits down in one of the dining table chairs Astryd replies in a tone of sad acceptance.
"Dad I should have done this years ago when it became clear that Matt wasn't coming home. Yet, I held out hope that he still loved me like he did when we got married. Since his return to the wrestling world a few months ago he has had plenty of time to try and reach out to me. We both know he hasn't made a move in that direction. In fact, he has been quite vocal that I am not his wife anymore."
Astryd falls silent as Nathaniel gives a nod of acknowledgement to his daughter's pained words.
"Why now though? What made you decide to file this paperwork now?
"I don't want this failure of a marriage to continue to be used as a weapon against you Dad. It has been a weapon between you and Matt long enough. I want this done before you two get inside a wrestling ring to tear each other apart. You know even while I held out hope all these years that once Matt got his shit together he would still love me, I knew that it was a pipe dream. After all, he was gone for over a decade without making any attempt to reach out past the gifts to the girls. The gifts that kept me hoping we would be stronger than his absence.
As she speaks, tears start to fall down Astryd's face as she turns to look down at the stack of forms on the table in front of her. Nathaniel reaches over and wraps his arms around her as he tries to comfort her the best he knows how.
"It is never easy to learn that the person you love doesn't feel the same way about you anymore. Though the question I have to ask you is did he really love you or did you just fill the void that Charlie's death caused? I know there is no way to know the answer to that for sure. Though you are probably right that this should be handled sooner rather than later."
Nathaniel falls silent as he looks down at the forms that Astryd had in front of her.
"My only concern is how the girls will take this. I know Hope has been spending time with Matt trying to reconnect through all the drama. I am worried about Ivy though. I know she hasn't had him around as she grew up but you know the stories we used to tell her about what Matt was off doing over the years. You know how some of the things he has said over the last few months have upset her. I just hope she can forgive me for moving on."
Nathaniel nods thoughtfully as he holds Astryd close while contemplating how he could answer this concern.
"In the end I know that Ivy will come to understand why you are doing this. After all, I don't expect you are going to deny her access to Matt after this goes through. She will be upset for a while but remember how you grew up Astryd. I am sorry for the way things went over the years. I would change the past if I could but you know I can't. With this you are doing the responsible thing and maybe this will help defuse some of the tension between Matt and I. If only for the sake of the girls."
With those words Astryd sighs before she reaches over to grab a pen. Nathaniel holds her as she flips through the stack of forms signing and initialing in all the proper places. After a few moments she sets the pen down and shifts so that her face is pressed into Nathaniel's shoulder as she cries letting out some of the pain of the moment.
"It will be alright Astryd. What you have just done is free the both of you to go your own ways. You are still quite a catch and any guy would be lucky to have you once you are ready. I know that there have been several interested over the years that you avoided because of your marriage. Maybe now you can find who will treat you and the girls like you should be. I will get this sent off after I leave in a few hours."
With that the pair fall into silence as Nathaniel does his best to be the comforting father to his grieving
daughter.
End of Carnage
Chain Match
Chaos 100
Balimore Maryland
October 12, 2020
He leans onto the top rope, resting a moment. The fans come alive though as out of nowhere, Knox has kipped up! Thor turns and goes for a clothesline, but Knox sidesteps it, nailing Thor in the jaw with a superkick! He then turns him around with a roundhouse kick! He snatches him with the Cobra Clutch, and hauls him up nailing The Downfall!!!
Johnny Vegas: NO!!!
Terra Skye: Knox once again, out of nowhere! Just when you think he’s dead to rights, he finds the drive to keep going!!
Knox pushes himself to his feet, snatching onto the ropes. He then begins to head to each corner
He slaps the first!
He slaps the second!
The Third!
Knox stops, looking once more at Thor, then out to his children.
“I’m sorry.” he mouths
And slaps the last corner, before falling over as the bell rings!
DING DING DING!!!
Terra Skye: AND KNOX WINS IT!!!
Kelly Carmichael: Here is your winner, Matthew “The Raven” Knox!!
Matthew hurriedly unclasps himself from the chain, letting it drop. He kneels by Thor, reaching out and hooking him under the armpit, pulling him to his feet and making sure the old man can stand on his own, before walking out of the ring, leaning back and flipping over the top rope. He doesn’t look back as he makes his way up the ramp, favoring his ribs and walking with a noticeable limp.
As Knox leaves Thor uses the corner to hold himself up having just fought a brutal match. Once Knox had passed back beyond the curtain the arena lights go out as Dark Ninjas by Derek Fiechter & Brandon Fiechter (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUmNGYPmCpw) begins to play through the speakers. A few seconds later the lights start to come back on and Sah'ta Thor is surrounded by over a dozen Kabuki mask wearing individuals. Each Kabuki is holding a kendo stick.
Terra Skye: Deja Vu! These look EXACTLY like the people who attacked Thor right after We Are Relentless!
Johnny Vegas: More Masked men attacking someone who is at odds with Matt Knox. Pretty coincidental, isn’t it Skye?!
Terra Skye: I don’t think that matters much right now, Vegas! We need Security out here!
Once the lights are fully back on the group on unknown Kabuki begin a savage beatdown on the battered Sah'ta Thor. On the outside of the ring there are more of this unknown group surrounding the ring to prevent outside interruption. The in ring beatdown continues for over a minute before the group rotates so that those on the outside can get their turn in the attack.
Johnny Vegas: What the hell has gotten into people lately!? Winter gets mugged, and now for two Pay Per Views in a row, Thor is gettin attacked by the fuckin’ foot clan!!
Boy: KOWABUNGNAH
As the beat down continues one of the masked figures signals for a microphone. After a moment of hesitation on the part of the timekeeper the figure is handed a microphone which he brings up to his mask.
Masked Leader: "I can feel the confusion in the air as you all try to figure out what is happening here. Further I am sure you are wondering where the rest of Insidious is in all of this. Where oh where is the rest of Thor's stable? Why aren't they out here trying to save him from this beat down?"
With these questions hanging in the air the figure lowers the microphone and lifts his hand up to his face as several of the other masked figures in the ring do the same. As one they all pull off their masks to reveal the faces of the other members of Insidious. The masked figure who had spoken proved to be none other than Aaron Frederick Hudson who had a malevolent smirk on his lips.
Johnny Vegas: Well i’ll be a monkey's uncle! I always liked him better than Thor!
Terra Skye: Oh shut up, you kiss ass! We need medical down here, now!
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "Oh how easy it was to arrange all of this. How gullible you all were to think that Sah'ta Thor was the leader of Insidious. How many times were you reminded to watch the introduction package that the great Sah'ta Thor posted to the Carnage Network prior to the Insidious debut segment on Chaos 88? Hell I mentioned it in my comments going into We Are Relentless. Yet, I am sure you ignored the point of what was being commented on. You see I have been the leader of the Insidious all along. I have been the one calling the shots behind the scenes. The thing is that it was all too easy to manipulate everyone into doing what I wanted."
Aaron looks down at the unconscious form of Sah'ta Thor who was laying on the ring mat a few feet from him.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "I almost pity all of you fools for how easy it was to create tonight's match. You see, while Knox believes that it was my dear old father-in-law who arranged the Chaos 93 ambush it was in fact me who put that into motion. You see, when Kyuubi found out from Hope that Knox was going to be on Chaos 93 I had my wife talk to her half sister. The end result was that little bit of reunion drama that we saw that night. You know the true beauty of it though was that Knox made everyone believe that Thor was behind it. Never mind that Pops rightfully and quite accurately denied being involved. The hatred for my father-in-law did the rest."
There is a pause as the rest of Insidious pull Thor to the center of the ring while the rest of Kabuki mask wearers remain outside preventing security from interfering.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "Then came WrestleStock weekend and the resulting disdain from the locker room towards Sah'ta Thor. After all you all thought he was using the Imperial Youth Wrestling organization as a means to brainwash children into a cult. Your disdain pushed the great Sah'ta Thor over the mental edge and he declared war on Carnage Wrestling. The irony of that move is that it isolated him further from the roster he had come into with the noble intention of elevating to new heights. Even though the war was declared in the name of Insidious most of the vitriol and attitude went the way of Sah'ta Thor."
Aaron pauses to let his words sink in for the time it took him to take a breath. The entire time the malevolent smirk never leaves his lips.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "Oh how easy it was to provoke Matt Knox into hating Sah'ta Thor even more. I knew that when Insidious came out to watch the Levi/Knox tag team match on Chaos 95 there would be animosity. I KNEW Matt Knox's hatred would lead to a brawl. Yet, again like the fools you all are, you thought that Sah'ta Thor was behind that bit of mind games. The resulting weeks in which Thor pleaded his innocence in arranging the very matter Knox was using to fuel his hatred fell on deaf ears.
Terra Skye: So this whole time, Aaron has been angling to have Thor taken out of Insidious, but why?!
Johnny Vegas: Yeah. Why would a son in law want his rich daddy in law incapacitated and thus leaving unimaginable assets and power up for grabs? Why Terra, why?
Terra Skye: Shut the fuck up, Johnny!
Aaron waves his hand over the gathered group around the ring as he licks his lips to wet them while he continues to look at the broken form of his father-in-law.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "After We Are Relentless I was responsible for the attack on Sah'ta Thor. The attack that left him in a pool of his blood for over an hour before he was found. You all saw the responses that were given to the video posted by my father-in-law just after Chaos 97. Such derision and hatred for a man who wanted nothing more than to be given a modicum of respect. Oh how easy it was to have you all hate him as the villian in this story. Let me be clear about one thing, Insidious is MINE and always has been. The war between The Raven and Sah'ta Thor was the result of MY design. I am the villain in this story not Sah'ta Thor. I am the mastermind of this mayhem and Insidious is much much bigger than it appears."
With those words Aaron signals for Kyuubi and Poppy to pull Thor to his knees. Once they had him up into position Aaron lowers the microphone and delivers a devastating roundhouse kick to the side of Thor's head. The kick busts Thor's head open causing blood to flow freely. Once the kick is delivered Thor's body is allowed to drop back to the mat as Aaron lifts the mic back to his lips.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "To answer the question of why this long plot of manipulation and betrayal I will simply say that I am motivated by love. I will let Kyuubi tell her tale in her own time but for now we are done here."
With that Aaron signals for the Insidious mashup to play as the Kabukis exit through the crowd while the members of Insidious swagger up the ramp. Sah'ta Thor is left in a bloody heap in the center of the ring as medical personnel are now allowed to attend to him.
Terra Skye: Wow... Just fucking wow.
Johnny Vegas: Told everyone that Thor wasn't to be hated all this time... I TOLD YOU!
Terra Skye: Oh, please... You switch sides more than... Well, more than something that switches sides a lot. Fuck off with that bullshit.. But I'm wondering how Matt Knox must feel right now...
Johnny Vegas: Hopefully guilty as FUCK! ASSHOLE! First Eli and now Thor?! YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!
Boy: ASS-STICKS!
Terra Skye: Let's take a small break while the medical team takes care of Thor... We'll be back in a few moments.
Johnny Vegas: NO!!!
Terra Skye: Knox once again, out of nowhere! Just when you think he’s dead to rights, he finds the drive to keep going!!
Knox pushes himself to his feet, snatching onto the ropes. He then begins to head to each corner
He slaps the first!

Aaron Frederick Hudson: "Oh how easy it was to provoke Matt Knox into hating Sah'ta Thor even more. I knew that when Insidious came out to watch the Levi/Knox tag team match on Chaos 95 there would be animosity. I KNEW Matt Knox's hatred would lead to a brawl. Yet, again like the fools you all are, you thought that Sah'ta Thor was behind that bit of mind games. The resulting weeks in which Thor pleaded his innocence in arranging the very matter Knox was using to fuel his hatred fell on deaf ears.
Terra Skye: So this whole time, Aaron has been angling to have Thor taken out of Insidious, but why?!
Johnny Vegas: Yeah. Why would a son in law want his rich daddy in law incapacitated and thus leaving unimaginable assets and power up for grabs? Why Terra, why?
Terra Skye: Shut the fuck up, Johnny!
Aaron waves his hand over the gathered group around the ring as he licks his lips to wet them while he continues to look at the broken form of his father-in-law.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "After We Are Relentless I was responsible for the attack on Sah'ta Thor. The attack that left him in a pool of his blood for over an hour before he was found. You all saw the responses that were given to the video posted by my father-in-law just after Chaos 97. Such derision and hatred for a man who wanted nothing more than to be given a modicum of respect. Oh how easy it was to have you all hate him as the villian in this story. Let me be clear about one thing, Insidious is MINE and always has been. The war between The Raven and Sah'ta Thor was the result of MY design. I am the villain in this story not Sah'ta Thor. I am the mastermind of this mayhem and Insidious is much much bigger than it appears."
With those words Aaron signals for Kyuubi and Poppy to pull Thor to his knees. Once they had him up into position Aaron lowers the microphone and delivers a devastating roundhouse kick to the side of Thor's head. The kick busts Thor's head open causing blood to flow freely. Once the kick is delivered Thor's body is allowed to drop back to the mat as Aaron lifts the mic back to his lips.
Aaron Frederick Hudson: "To answer the question of why this long plot of manipulation and betrayal I will simply say that I am motivated by love. I will let Kyuubi tell her tale in her own time but for now we are done here."
With that Aaron signals for the Insidious mashup to play as the Kabukis exit through the crowd while the members of Insidious swagger up the ramp. Sah'ta Thor is left in a bloody heap in the center of the ring as medical personnel are now allowed to attend to him.
Terra Skye: Wow... Just fucking wow.
Johnny Vegas: Told everyone that Thor wasn't to be hated all this time... I TOLD YOU!
Terra Skye: Oh, please... You switch sides more than... Well, more than something that switches sides a lot. Fuck off with that bullshit.. But I'm wondering how Matt Knox must feel right now...
Johnny Vegas: Hopefully guilty as FUCK! ASSHOLE! First Eli and now Thor?! YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!
Boy: ASS-STICKS!
Terra Skye: Let's take a small break while the medical team takes care of Thor... We'll be back in a few moments.
