MIKE DEMPSEY
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Main Event of the evening! The following battle is the Guerrilla Warfare Match, twenty competitors will enter every 90 seconds and eliminations coming only by way of pinfall or submission. The last person standing will be crowned as the new Union Battleground Champion!
[The beginning beat of "Bow Down" by I Prevail begins to play as the entrance ramp fills up with smoke from smoke machines.]
♫
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, IT'S THE PRICE I PAY
LOOK INTO MY EYES, WE ARE NOT THE SAME
YEAH, THIS IS WHERE YOU FALL APART
YEAH, THIS IS WHERE YOU BREAK
♫
[As soon as the words are screamed Toby Wagner bursts through the curtains to an echo of boos. He stands on the ramp for a minute and rolls his eyes. He looks back to the curtains as if he might actually walk back through before sighing and beginning to walk towards the ramp with minimum energy and enthusiasm.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number one, standing 6’3” and weighing in at 187 pounds, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Toby Wagner!
[The boo’s get louder upon his announcement and Toby smirks but doesn't address a single one of them as he climbs the steps and steps inside the ring. He doesn't pose he doesn't do anything besides walk straight to his corner and wave his hand encouraging for them to get on with the match.]
♫
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER FAKE SCENE
WITH NO REAL MESSAGE AND A TON OF FAKE THINGS
AND I FEEL IT INSIDE THAT I LIVE FOR MY TEAM
MY TEAM IS MY FANS AND I GOT A PURPOSE TO SERVE THEM
♫
[The opening breakdown of "King of Amarillo" by Issues hits the PA, getting a loud, immediate response of cheers from the crowd. The lighting near the entrance turns gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines, and A.J. Morales's highlight reel starts to play on the 'Tron. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, headbanging along and playing air guitar.]
[Once the first verse comes in, A.J. stops the air-guitar and starts walking to the ring, giving fist bumps and high-fives to anyone in the crowd who reaches towards him.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number two, standing 6’ even and weighing in at 187 pounds, from San Francisco, California, he is ”The Revolution” AJ Morales!
[As the chorus hits, A.J. climbs onto the apron and vaults himself over the top rope with a somersault. He pops up to his feet and throws up a clenched fist salute to the side of the crowd facing the entrance ramp, which his supporters throw right back at him. He repeats this salute on all four sides of the ring, ending with the side facing the hard cam. For this last one, he looks directly into the camera, and after he drops the salute, he mouths “Mírame” before turning to his corner, taking off his jacket and beanie, draping both objects over the ring post, and limbering up for the match.]
[The referee comes to the center ring to hold up the Union Battleground Championship belt before handing it off to an event crew member. The ref then calls for the bell to begin this war!]
[DING!]
[The two men circle one another. Both come from 4 Corners Wrestling and are aware of each other's repertoire. The two men lock up in the center of the ring then begin to swing each other around. Morales uses a knee to Toby’s midsection to gain control before whipping Wagner into the ropes! Toby bounces off them then slingshots back at AJ, who aims for a clothesline but misses! Wagner dodges to bounce off the ropes again. Morales swings around to meet Toby, who nails AJ with a Lou Thesz press that Toby transitions into mounted punches!]
[The countdown meter on the big screen reaches one minute while Toby peers up to see it. Morales uses the brief opening to use his knees beneath Wagner, to knock his opponent off! Toby flies forward to end up in the ropes which allows Morales to get leap back to his feet! AJ shakes his head to clear the fog that lingers after the exchange with Toby. Morales quickly gathers himself to head for Wagner, who slips through the ropes to end up on the apron. Toby quickly gets to his feet while AJ races to the corner to leap up on the middle rope to bounce to the top in a swift motion! Wagner gets to his feet on the apron only to look up to find Morales flying through the air right at him! However, before Toby can react, AJ catches him with a diving hurricanrana off the apron! Wagner gets flung clear off the apron to end up on the outside floor!]
[AJ’s landing wasn’t pleasant either, leaving both men on the outside floor. The timer on the big screen reaches thirty seconds remaining while Toby and AJ rise to their feet at the same time. Wagner and Morales begin swapping blows on the outside of the ring! Toby pokes AJ in the eye suddenly! Morales responds by reaching up to rub the eye leading Wagner to take hold of AJ by the hair of the head from behind. Toby then yanks the hair to slowly guide Morales towards Dante’s announce table before slamming AJ face first into it! Toby keeps his grip to smash Morales face into the edge of the table again then again! AJ hits both knees as the drums hits on the stage to indicate that entrant number three is mere seconds from being revealed!]
[Toby takes his eye off the ball as the drums hit leading him to peer at the counter. He catches a sharp elbow from Morales for his mistake! AJ has a cut across his cheek from the edge of the table. Morales rises to both feet to cradle up Wagner by the head for a pop up powerbomb! AJ slams Toby into the steel security barrier with true malice intent!]
♫
KARMA, KARMA, KARMA, KARMA, KARMA CHAMELEON
YOU COME AND GO, YOU COME AND GO
♫
['Karma Chameleon' by the Culture Club hits over the PA System, and Indi Rhyder skips out onto the stage to a pretty big ovation. She leaps back and forth along the stage, a huge bubbly smile placed upon her lips. She turns to give the camera a wink as she passes on by down the ramp, slapping hands as she goes.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number three, standing 5’5” and weighing in at 130 pounds, from Los Angeles, California, she is ”The Galactic Princess” Indi Rhyder!
[Indi reaches ringside then makes a dash across the front row with one hand extended for high fives, and then turns abruptly to leap up onto the ring apron, and then hops up to the second rope from the outside. She waves at the capacity crowd with a grin, and then hops over the top rope to land safely in the ring.]
[AJ watches Indi make her way to the ring from ringside. Toby writhes in pain on the floor from the powerbomb into the barrier. Morales slides into the ring to come face to face with The Intergalactic Star Child.]
[Wagner stirs on the outside while AJ and Indi stare one another down in the center of the ring. Suddenly the two begin swapping blows to roaring applause. This crowd knows the UnYielding Champion from Valor and Morales is world renowned. Rhyder suddenly irish whips AJ into the ropes before hitting the ropes herself on the opposite side of the ring. The two meet in the center of the ring with Indi going for a spear that Morales counters into a DDT! AJ then quickly hooks a leg!]
...One!
BROKEN UP BY TOBY!
[Wagner comes out of nowhere to break up the pin with a steel chair! Toby smacks Morales across the back with all he’s got to save Indi! Then Wagner begins hitting her with the chair! Toby takes turns between the two wrestlers with the chair until AJ manages to roll out of the ring.]
[Dante stands at the commentary table now since Wagner took his seat. Morales has two large red welts across his back from the chair shots. Toby turns his attention to Indi who has slowly made it back to her feet! Wagner charges at her full speed ahead while holding the chair above his head! Indi rushes straight at Toby to drop kick his right knee cap! Wagner hits both knees after the violent shot after dropping the chair directly in front of him. Rhyder leaps back to her feet to bounce off the ropes behind Wagner. She comes flying in to capture Toby around the neck to drive him face first into the folding chair on the mat with a bulldog! The crowd pops as Rhyder appears primed to hook a leg. Morales slides into the ring to halt those plans while the countdown on the big screen reads sixty seconds.]
[AJ gets in the ring to catch a standing Indi with a slingblade! The maneuver sends the smaller Rhyder to the mat but she bounces right back up! Indi gets cradled up from behind by Morales! He falls back for a german suplex but holds onto Rhyder. AJ gets back up while keeping his arms wrapped around Indi to drop back for another ring rattling german suplex! Morales still has both arms around The Intergalactic Star Child as he gets back up. AJ carefully adjusts for a third german suplex! Morales leaps to his feet before getting rolled up into a pin from behind by Toby Wagner!]
...One!
… Two!
Kick Out!
[Morales kicks out at the last possible moment. Toby then gets back to his feet quickly and hits the ropes full speed ahead! Wagner bounces off the ropes to come right back at Morales, who gets to one knee just in time to catch a huge big boot from Toby! The violent kick rocks the 4CW star. The countdown on the large screen above the stage ticks past twenty. The crowd begins to count along while Toby measures up AJ inside the ring. Wagner begins to stomp down on Morales. Toby kicks Morales directly in the face before standing on him with his right foot to twist the heel deep into the forehead of AJ! The drums begin to play once more on the stage to signal a new entrant is seconds from appearing. Wagner continues to kick AJ while he’s down until he hears a whistle. Toby peers up to see Indi Rhyder leap off the top turnbuckle to hit him in the chest with both knees! She rides Wagner to the mat with the Cool Rhyder! The crowd pops as she rushes back to the same corner to leap up on the middle turnbuckle to bounce split legged corkscrew moonsault! Rhyder hits Toby with her Kharmic Trip before hooking a leg!]
...One!
…Two!
... Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Toby Wagner has been eliminated!
[Toby Fox’s “Megalomania” begins to play throughout as the countdown reaches zero. Skull Kid 2 slowly crawls through the curtain and onto the steel stage. The Virginia crowd comes alive while Indi rolls out of the ring to meet Goblin.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number four, standing 5’10” and weighing in at 170 pounds, from the Lost Woods, he is ”The Gremlin” Skull Kid #2!
[Rhyder walks up the ramp as the masked Skull Kid comes crawling fast right at her! Morales is now down on the outside of the ring. The lingering effects of Wagner stomping his head into the mat in violent fashion still being felt. A tall fan is leaning up against the steel security barrier along the ramp draping over the side holding a black sleek Union Battleground bag full of merchandise.]
[Rhyder and Goblin meet directly in front of this fan with Indi attempting to catch the Skull Kid with a knee but misses! Gremlin ducks the knee and reaches up to snatch the bag from the fan. He dumps out the fitted new era hat and Lisa Frankenstein action figure inside but catches the Seldon figure before it can hit the ground. He hugs it quickly before tucking it away safe. Skull Kid 2 then takes the bag and places it over the head of Rhyder from behind! The prominent uB star logo on the bag comes into focus to show an outline of The Intergalactic Star Child’s face slowly outline. Goblin tugs at the bag to further suffocate Indi while the crowd is shocked by the violent display.]
[Morales begins to stir on the mat inside the ring. Indi hits both knees attempting in vain to breath inside the merch bag. Skull Kid 2 appears to want to murder Rhyder and with no rules he may just do that. Indi holds up her right index and middle fingers. She then jabs a hole in the bag at her mouth and as the bag pops, she takes in her first gasp of fresh air! The Skull Kid then swings around to superkick the back of Rhyder’s head which drives her face first into the barrier! Indi hits the steel stage in a pile with the bag still on her head.]
[Goblin turns to look at the ring to find Morales charging at him! AJ nails Gremlin with a pele kick before he can react! The maneuver staggers The Skull Kid which allows Morales to take control. AJ guides Skull Kid 2 toward the ring while Rhyder stirs on the ramp. Goblin escapes Morales’s grasp then shuffles his feet to end up behind AJ. Skull Kid 2 then pushes him into the edge of the apron! AJ hits it flush abdomen first leading Gremlin to rush at Morales full speed ahead from behind but AJ counters with a spinning back fist that catches Goblin flush on the jaw!]
[AJ knocks Skull Kid 2 down on the floor. Gremlin hits the floor where he holds his jaw briefly. Morales holds onto the apron while attempting to gather himself. After a few precious moments he turns around to find Indi Rhyder! She has tore the bag off her face and it dangles ripped and tattered around her neck. AJ goes to get ahold of Indi, who counters with a vicious leaping elbow that hits its mark!]
[The shot from the smaller Rhyder rocks Morales. He bends over slightly which allows Rhyder to push him back into the ring! AJ rolls on into the ring while Indi leaps up onto the apron to hold the top rope with both hands tight. Morales stumbles a bit getting to his feet but turns just in time to see The Intergalactic Star Child leap up onto the top rope from the apron to springboard out at AJ for a diving spear! Morales ends up near the corner where the chair still lies that Toby left.]
[The hippie then does something out of character for Indi. She takes the chair and places it carefully atop AJ’s chest! Rhyder rushes to the corner to climb the turnbuckles quickly. The shot comes in to show her with the countdown reaching thirty seconds as a backdrop. Indi then leaps off the top turnbuckle at Morales with the fans merch bag still in tatters around her throat. She gets a high ankle on the jump and lifts her knees up high toward her chest in mid air. Flashes throughout capture the moment forever. Indi lands a double foot stomp on the chair to drive it into the chest and sternum of Morales! Rhyder crawls quickly over to AJ to hook a leg!]
...One!
…Two!
… Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
AJ Morales has been eliminated!
[Indi lies on the mat looking up at the bright lights after her second elimination of the evening. She rips the rest of the fans merchandise bag from around her throat. Rhyder sits up to find Skull Kid 2 sliding into the ring. He crawls toward Indi, who leaps to her feet to face the crazed Gremlin. The drummers on the stage have begun once again to signal another entrant will be headed to the ring as Indi and Skull Kid 2 start fist fighting!]
[The crowd is anxious within the Arena. The card has been great so far, but now the crowd can visibly be seen tensing, as the lights dim once more and the PA system crackling into life with the first sounds of 'Remember the Name' by Fort Minor.]
♫
3...2...1...LET'S GO
THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK, TWENTY PERCENT SKILL
FIFTEEN PERCENT CONCENTRATED POWER OF WILL
FIVE PERCENT PLEASURE, FIFTY PERCENT PAIN
AND A HUNDRED PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME!
♫
[The music kicks into high gear, a single golden light illuminates the stage, revealing the back of Ace Andrews in a leather light filled jacket. Ace stands there just for a moment, basking in the love from the crowd, before throwing his hands up high with the Ace of Spades hand sign, causing a long row of pyro to explode on both sides of the stage. Ace stands there posing for a moment before spinning and facing the crowd with a grin. After a few moments the Billionaire Brawler starts to pace down the ramp, strolling over and slapping hands with some fans on his way to the ring, where the announcer raises a mic.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number five, standing 6’2” and weighing in at 240 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is ”The Platinum Made Playboy” Ace Andrews!
[Ace now climbs the ring steps, and paces across the apron, looking out at the crowd with a smile. Andrews dashes through the ropes and makes a mad dash for Indi and Skull Kid 2! He hammers Gremlin from behind before grappling him up for a hip toss! Medics rush down the ramp with a stretcher to retrieve AJ Morales. He refuses the assistance while holding his chest in real pain. The Medics walk alongside AJ to help him to the back but leave the stretcher at ringside.]
[Indi hits one knee to watch the two men hammer each other. Andrew kicks Skull Kid 2 in the gut leading him to bend over before Ace drops him with a codebreaker! The sudden maneuver rocks Gremlin and he bounces to the mat in a pile on his back! Andrews grins after hitting his finishing maneuver then gets up quickly to get Skull Kid 2 in position to hook a leg. Ace peers up to see Indi Rhyder perched on the top turnbuckle! She leaps off to perform a picture perfect phoenix dragonrana! Head Over Heels spikes Ace’s head into the mat with Rhyder holding through for a pin!]
… One!
… Two!
… Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Ace Andews has been eliminated!
[Indi appears shocked to be cleaning house the way she has thus far. Rhyder looks back at the stage to see the WWH alumni walking back to obscurity before glancing at the countdown briefly. Forty ticks until the next entrant.]
[Skull Kid 2 shakes his head in the opposite corner before charging out at Rhyder! The two wrestlers begin swapping blows in the center of the ring! The Intergalactic Star Child uses all her strength against this lunatic that’s already tried to kill her here tonight. Gremlin catches Indi with a solid elbow beneath the chin to buckle the hippie. She hits one knee leading Skull Kid 2 to hit the ropes directly in front of Indi to bounce back at her! Rhyder comes up fast but Goblin catches her with a sunset flip powerbomb! Skull Kid 2 holds it for a pin!]
...One!
…Two!
KICK OUT!
[During the flip the Seldon action figure was lost by Gremlin unbeknownst to him. The drums on the stage begin while Skull Kid 2 leaps back to his feet in a single bound. He then crouches and begins to crawl toward Indi slowly.]

MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number six, standing 5’7” and weighing in at 125 pounds, from Salem, Massachusetts, she is ”The Wicked Witch” Wendy Wynne!
[“Under Black Flags We March” by Archenemy hits across the arena. Wendy Wynne struts out across the stage holding a broomstick like it’s bring your favorite weapon to work day. Wynne wastes little time with the crowd and rather focuses on Indi and Skull Kid 2 inside the ring while making her way down the aisle. Gremlin tries to choke the life from Rhyder while sitting on her chest. He continues to strangle Rhyder until Wynne calls his name from behind. Skull Kid 2 turns to see Wendy standing close to the action figure of Lisa Frankenstein that Goblin appears to covet. Wynne stomps down on the toy in a menacing manner to destroy the action figure! She continues to stomp until Skull Kid 2 pushes her out of the way! He holds the pieces of the broken toy as if he’s just lost his mother. He looks up at Wynne, who breaks the broomstick across his head in a single swing!]
[Wynne walks around Goblin to quickly kick Indi out of the ring. She then makes the cover on Skull Kid 2!]
… One!
… Two!
… Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Skull Kid #2 has been eliminated!
[Wendy immediately rolls off her foe to begin taunting the crowd. Indi gets to her feet on the outside of the ring and slides back in. Wynne works the crowd after sending the fan favorite packing. Wendy turns around to find Indi racing at her! She takes off at Intergalactic Star Child full speed ahead! Wynne hits a basement drop kick that halts Indi’s forward momentum suddenly to send her into a complete front flip! Wendy strikes as soon as Rhyder impacts the mat. Wynne hovers above Rhyder, who is on her stomach flat on the mat. Wendy reaches down to take two handfuls of Indi’s hair! Wynne drives her right knee into the back of Rhyder before pulling with all she’s got! The Wicked Witch screams at the crowd while attempting to break Indi into two separate pieces!]
[Indi shakes her head no emphatically! Wynne pulls tighter in response to this. The countdown meter ticks down in the background to 29 seconds. The Wicked Witch does not care about the timer but only Rhyder tapping. Wendy loses her grip suddenly! She holds two handfuls of Indi’s hair leading her to giggle. The crowd boos while Wynne gets back to her feet. She holds the hair in the open palms of her hands. Wendy holds her open hands up to her lips to blow the hair back at Indi Rhyder! The crowd boos Wendy without mercy. She eats it up.]
[Rhyder holds her head briefly but attempts to recover fast. Wendy works the crowd before turning to stomp down on Rhyder. Wynne then goes right back to taunting the Virginia audience. The drums on the stage begin to play once more. The crowd begins to count down with the timer on the big screen.]
[“Bonetrousle” by Toby Fox blasts throughout after the timer reaches zero. Skull Kid 1 appears on the stage from behind the curtain in a blur.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number seven, standing 5’11” and weighing in at 240 pounds, from the Lost Woods, he is ”The Goblin” Skull Kid #1!
[Wendy continues to watch on while holding onto the top ropes. She suddenly begins to taunt Skull Kid 1 before he even gets to the ring. The camera shows her from the front but Indi slips up from behind to roll up Wynne!]
...One!
...Two!
Broken Up by Skull Kid 1!
[Skull Kid 1 breaks the pin up by dropping an elbow on the two women! Wendy comes up appearing grateful but gets grappled up by the larger Skull Kid 1 before being whipped violently into the corner! He rushes to the opposite corner fast before making a mad dash at Wendy! Skull Kid 1 charges across the ring but Wynne comes out of the corner while Indi trips Skull Kid 1 out of nowhere! He falls forward while Wendy raises her right knee mid charge! The pop from her knee cap slamming into the face of Skull Kid 1 even causes Dante to wince.]
[Wynne takes a pop shot at Indi that connects! Rhyder hits the mat while Wendy rushes to the corner closest to Skull Kid 1! She climbs up on the middle turnbuckle then on up to the top. Wynne turns around to face out but Skull Kid 1 has made it back to his feet and has given chase! He leaps up on the middle turnbuckle before bouncing up to capture Wendy for a wicked frankensteiner off the top rope! The crowd pops as Skull Kid 1 pins The Wicked Witch!]
...One!
...Broken Up by Indi Rhyder!
[Rhyder breaks up the pin leading Skull Kid 1 to roll out of the ring. He disappears beneath the ring in an instant. Wendy notices Indi coming for her and does the same. Wynne gets out of dodge to end up on the outside floor looking back up at Indi. She mocks the Intergalactic Star Child before pointing and laughing at her. Indi becomes even more incensed. The referee slides out of the ring to look around for the missing competitor. Rhyder takes off across the ring full speed ahead! She dives over the ropes head first and goes into a front flip before crashing into Wendy Wynne! The two women collide into the referee! The ref hits the security barrier face first!]
[Wendy and Indi shake their heads on the floor attempting to clear the cobwebs with little success. Meanwhile, Skull Kid 1 has yet to reappear from below the ring skirt. Suddenly he climbs out from beneath the ring pulling something along. The countdown in the background ticks past twenty as the drummers on the stage get set to play another competitor to the ring. Skull Kid 1 opens the small flat crate. Wynne and Indi are mere feet away as the event medics rush down to check on the referee. He has an evident broken nose from colliding with the barrier.]

YOU SHOWED ME HOW THIS TOWN CAN SHATTER DREAMS
ANOTHER LESSON ABOUT A NAIVE FOOL THAT CAME TO BABYLON
AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PIE DON’T TASTE SO SWEET
NOW IT’S GUITARS, CADILLAC’S, HILLBILLY MUSIC
♫
[The song hits it's chorus, while two spotlights converge on the stage as James Radford saunters out from behind the curtain! He’s wearing black boots, leather pants, vest, and a black stetson hat. He pauses at the top of the stage to stare out at the crowd with his hand cupped over his eyes, and he gives the camera a tip of the hat followed by a wink just before making his way down the ramp. He slaps a few hands as he passes by while the camera swings around to follow behind him, focusing on the confederate flag sewn into his vest.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number eight, standing 6’1” and weighing in at 256 pounds, from Jackson, Mississippi, he is “The Pride of Jackson” James Radford!
[Radford accesses the situation as he gets to ring side. Skull Kid 1 has found a taser in the crate. Security left it beneath the ring and now Gremlin has it! He sparks it at James, but Wynne comes up from behind suddenly. She takes hold of Skull Kid 1’s right arm and pushes it up to his throat for a connection! Skull Kid 1 rocks back and forth as the taser shocks him! Wendy holds his arm tight before releasing him! The medics carry out the referee while a new one comes running down the stage. Radford makes his way toward Wendy but she now has the taser! James comes in with a shoulder tackle but catches the taser in the side from Wynne!]
[James hits the maneuver but Wendy used the last bit of charge in the taser during the fall to the floor on Radford. She slips from beneath him carefully to make it out. The heavier Radford stirs but the taser has taken a toll on him and Skull Kid 1. Wynne gets to one knee alongside the ring but can hear something behind her. Wendy turns to find Indi pushing the stretcher left earlier by the medics! Wynne has no time to react and the edge of the rolling bed hits her head to push it flush against the edge of the ring apron with total brutality! The crowd roars while Indi hits the floor, flat on her bottom. Radford gets to one knee but continues to hold his side. Skull Kid 1 uses the ring steps to get back to a vertical base while Indi focuses solely on The Wicked Witch!]
[The new referee stands along ringside to look at the carnage. She peers over to see blood dripping from the barrier where the referee who preceded her lost many teeth and broke his nose. The countdown hits forty five seconds remaining on the big screen as Radford gets to his feet. He turns around to find Skull Kid 1 going through the crate he retrieved from beneath the ring! James walks up to Gremlin, who turns to slap a handcuff on Radford! The other end is locked on the right wrist of Skull Kid 1 himself! Radford begins throwing rights since his left is tethered to a Skull Kid now. James hammers Gremlin in the mouth with a solid shot then another! Meanwhile, Indi has rolled Wendy back into the ring. Wynne has a gash across her forehead that continues to bleed profusely. The ref comes in close to check on her but Wendy headbutts her! The new ref hits the floor with Wendy’s blood now smeared across her own face.]
[Indi hits the ropes but Wendy gets up to duck the clothesline and bounce off the ropes herself. Rhyder slings shots back at Wynne, who hits the mat flat leading Rhyder to jump the Wicked Witch. Indi bounces off the ropes yet again but this time she is nearly decapitated by Skull Kid 1 and James Radford! The two catch Rhyder at the throat with the chain of the handcuffs by total accident! Wynne hooks a leg!]
...One!
Broken up by James Radford!
[The finger splitting, ear shattering licks of “Your Disposal” by Cattle Decapitation bursts throughout the arena in a violent rage as the entire arena goes black. White strobe lights flicker at the entrance ramp, as a thick black smoke obscures the stage. After a few moments, Dakota appears in the middle of the smoke - as if he just materialized there. Smith has something shiny stuck in the front of his pants like a gun. An industrial staple gun. Dakota’s eyes are dead set on the ring, as the strobe light flickers, giving a slow-mo effect as he cracks his neck to the left and then to the right. As vicious snarl forms on his cracked lips, piercing through his beard he starts to march his way down to the ring.]
♫
YOU ALONE ARE YOUR DISPOSAL.
A LIFETIME OF STAINS, WASTING AWAY SLOWLY DOWN THE DRAIN.
NO MERCY, NO REPRISAL.
NO SECOND CHANCE!
♫
[As the growl from that last line penetrates throughout the arena, Dakota begins to march down to the ring. His boot steps are heavy, and his arms twitch and tingle at his sides as he seemingly growls and argues with himself underneath his breath. The strobe light giving everything a rather abstract horror effect as the butcher lashes out some unsuspecting fans at ring side. Dakota cockily grins as he runs his fingers down one of the scars on his stomach, chuckling to himself before continuing to make his way down to the ring, a bit more aggression in his stride.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number nine, standing 6’2” and weighing in at 240 pounds, from The Depths of Hell, he is “The Butcher” Dakota Smith!
[Smith gets to ringside to find chaos. The now bloody referee walks right up to Dakota, who swiftly pulls the staple gun from his waistband and pushes it flush to her wound! SNAP! She hits the floor with a staple now driven into the center of her forehead. Smith then rolls into the ring while still clutching the staple gun tight. Bring your own weapon to work day continues!]
[The referee stands up to rip her shirt off. The sports bra beneath keeps her covered but she quits on the spot. Screaming at Dante, who continues to call this chaotic match with zero rules. The ref storms up the ramp to leave this match totally unattended. Back in the ring, Skull Kid 1 and James Radford are fighting it out. The two men are chained together by a set of handcuffs. Goblin comes in fast for a short armed clothesline but The Pride of Jackson ducks it! James uses the chain to spin Skull Kid 1 around for a vicious short arm lariat! The shot sends him to the mat but also pulls Radford along for a pin!]
[No referee means no count. James even hooks a leg but the new referee only now appears at the curtain. Suddenly Dakota comes up from behind to use the staple gun down the spine of Radford! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! James rolls off Skull Kid 1 to grab at the three staples embedded in his back.]
[Skull Kid 1 gets yanked by Radford. Dakota almost licks his chops as he buries both knees into the chest of Goblin. Smith holds him by the throat to steady the staple gun. Dakota then begins stapling the mask to Skull Kid 1’s actual skull. SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! Smith continues embedding staples deep into the mask and face of Skull Kid 1 until a punch from Radford rocks him! James leans in to throw an elbow but Dakota counters by stapling Radford’s right ear to his head! The deep staple digs in to hold the ear flush against the side of James’s head!]
[The new referee slides back into the ring as Indi makes it back to her feet in the corner. Wendy slid out of the ring as soon as Dakota stapled the last referee. Wynne pulls Rhyder out of the ring beneath the bottom rope! Indi slams face first onto the mat to be yanked to the outside of the ring. Soon as Indi hits her feet she begins throwing rights at Wendy! The two women begin fighting on the outside of the ring. Wendy comes up with a sharp back hand chop! Then another! Rhyder ends up with her back up against the security barrier as the camera shot swings around to show the countdown timer click down to eighteen seconds. Wendy rushes at Indi full speed ahead for a clothesline but Rhyder holds onto her as both women spill out into the crowd to roaring ovation. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Dakota’s last staple is now stuck in Radfords skull. James and Skull Kid 1 are still chained together as Smith drops the empty staple gun. James picks it up fast then swings it wildly at Dakota’s head! The steel gun smashes into the side of The Butcher’s head to send him flat on the mat and off of Gremlin!]
[Wynne and Rhyder are now throwing punches in the crowd. Indi gets the upper hand with a solid elbow to the jaw! The Wicked Witch stumbles back leading Rhyder to rush at her. A fan sitting in a folding chair next to Wynne holds a large cup of soda that Wendy snatches up to throw in the face of the charging Rhyder! Indi gets her eyes full of mountain dew! The fan seated between the two women stands up to move out of the way which leads Wendy to rush at the empty chair! She leaps to step up on the chair in mid charge to dive off at the now blind Indi with a forearm smash! Both women hit the outside floor!]
[The familiar drums begin to play on the stage to signal a new entrant is on the way. Inside the ring, Radford pulls Skull Kid 1 by the handcuffs! Gremlin leans on the ropes while James stomps down on Dakota with real fury. James has large staples stuck in him all over. Smith manages to roll out of the ring just as the drums halt.]

GINGER, THIS IS SARAH.

[The introduction of the song is sudden, we hear an ominous tone that follows the Terminator line. The keys are dragged out, lingering in the air as the song gets to a slow start. Seconds pass, as a backing track is finally introduced along with the lengthy notes. Eventually, after a minute, the song really kicks into gear. Neon strobe lights flash along with the beat, a shadowy figure keeps in the darkness. Slowly, we see Bryan Williams methodically walk out from the back. He's dressed for a fight, his jacket covering his torso and his baseball bat in hand. It rests comfortably on his shoulder as it keeps its dangerous message. The wolf mask on his head stays contrasted with the neon lights and the darkness. Bryan keeps his head low, as the song continues to play along. The techno beat ramping up more and more, as the lights around him shimmer and dance.]
[The song continues to play, as Bryan stands on the top of the ramp. With his head down, Bryan lets the baseball bat fall from his shoulder, the weight of the bat being pulled towards the ground. His head snaps forward, as he slowly begins to make his way down towards the ring.]

Dakota ducks it but Bryan swings around to nail him across the back with the bat anyway! Dakota hits one knee while Williams assesses the situation around him. Inside the ring, Radford and Skull Kid 1 are still fighting it out on the mat while chained together. Indi and Wendy are back up with Wynne holding onto Rhyder by the hair of her head. Wendy walks her toward the stage through the crowd. The camera shifts back to the ring where Goblin and Radford are back up! Skull Kid one has many staples in his face which blocks the eye holes of his mask. James realizes Gremlin is essentially blind.

The Butcher falls back before a bat hits him on the side of the right knee cap out of nowhere! Williams has gotten up and found his bat! Bryan takes the edge of the bat after Dakota hits one knee to lunge the end of the weapon into the back of Smith’s skull! Williams then looks up at Radford, who rushes in with a knee to the gut! Bryan bends over in response which leads Country Fine to cradle him up for a pump handle slam! Radford lifts up Williams and at the highest point of the maneuver, Bryan puts the bat behind James head to grasp it tight in both hands to turn the slam into a facebuster!]
”HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
[Wynne crawls down the ramp toward the ring. Her face is covered in blood. A gash in her forehead has left the witch with a crimson mask. Indi has stood up mere feet behind her. The drums begin to play on the stage. Rhyder looks over at them. She walks over to one of the large drums and swiftly snatches it from the player! Now one drum hits while Indi slips up behind Wynne. The Wicked Witch gets up while Indi sneaks.]

Smith slides out of the ring on the opposite side from Bryan, who watches Dakota closely. MacNamara slides into the ring leading Williams to begin stomping down on him! Indi Rhyder glides through the ropes and out onto the apron. Indi appears tired and battered but fights on without relenting even the slightest.

[The hypnotic and Satanic intro to "Mercury" By Ghostemane begins playing as the house lights dim out and begins flashing violently to the beat. After the intro plays out and the heavy bass drops SWITCHBLXDE rises out from the bottom of the stage through a blackened fog. He is attached to a scarecrow perch in the scarecrow position with his arms spread out wide and his head lowered to the ground. He oddly and violently snaps one of his arms off as he begins twitching. He rips the other free before dropping down from the perch. He twitches and convulses, almost demon like, before raising up from his knees with his arms back into a spread stance. He begins down the ramp, twitching and shaking to the beat.]

He steps over the ropes and gets into the ring where he comes to the ropes facing the hard cam. He leans over and uses his pointer fingers to pull down his bottom eyelids, exposing only the whites in his eyes as he shows off his silver teeth. The music dies down as the lights return to normal. SWITCHBLXDE takes a position in the corner, hanging on the ropes in the scarecrow position. Radford comes flying in for a big splash!

MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number twenty, he is Nikolas Thoreau!
[The crowd boos as Thoreau climbs up on the apron with nothing but business at hand on his mind. Music and theatrics are for the weak, in his mind. Nikolas slips through the ropes but gets the back of his heel caught. He stumbles into the ring to be grappled by Anna Daniels! She irish whips him toward the nearest corner, where the ladder is stuck in the ropes! SMACK! Thoreau smashes into the ladder full speed ahead! Daniels quickly rushes over to make a pin.]

[Claire Lichfield has gotten Indi Rhyder down and now she pulls the turnbuckle apart in the corner directly across from the ladder. The thumbtacks still cover the mat thick. Most of the wrestlers even near the ring including Fallon Lockhart, who is being taken out by medics, are full of thumbtacks. Dakota gets back to his feet inside the ring leading Anna Daniels to charge at him! Smith shuffles his feet slightly to catch Anna!

James Radford comes out of nowhere to begin stomping down on Claire Lichfield! The mudhole stomps hit their mark with pinpoint accuracy.

[The crowd hits a fever pitch as the four remaining wrestlers are now all in the ring. Radford and Williams start throwing punches at one another while Dakota stares down Indi Rhyder from across the ring. All of them are covered from head to toe with thumbtacks thanks to Lockharts gift. The Butcher charges across the ring looking to hurt Indi but she catches him with a drop toe hold that sends him face first into the naked turnbuckle! The sharp exposed turnbuckle slices Dakota’s forehead all the way across! He quickly grabs his forehead with both hands as he hits the mat before rolling out of the ring. Rhyder can see the blood and realizes she may have just hurt Smith.]
[Radford and Williams are going blow for blow on the opposite side of the ring. James nails Bryan with an uppercut that rocks him a bit. Williams staggers back leading James to come in but Bryan counters with a ripcord lariat! MANTRA! Williams drops down on the mat to hook the right leg of The Pride of Jackson.]

[Three remain. Dakota is still on the outside floor, face down. He has both hands on his face and bleeding profusely. The Butcher refuses medical help while attempting to recover. Indi Rhyder gets to her feet to find Bryan Williams standing across from her. He holds the space helmet that another competitor wore to taunt Indi.]
[Williams comes at Rhyder wildly while swinging the glass space helmet at her! She ducks it causing him to miss completely. Rhyder hits one knee while Bryan swings around to begin to swing the glass helmet back around but Indi uppercuts Williams in the crotch! A wicked nutshot that shocks the entire front row! Indi then reaches him to wrap both arms around the back of Bryan’s neck before dropping down to smash his chin on the top of her head! Williams ends up on his back. Indi looks over at the space helmet and then over at the turnbuckles. The Intergalactic Star Child picks it up and carefully slips the space lid onto her head. Indi then rushes to the closest corner. She scales the turnbuckles to end up facing back out at Bryan Williams while wearing the glass helmet.]
[Indi leaps off the top turnbuckle aiming for a flying headbutt in the space helmet! Rhyder hits her mark but it shatters the glass space helmet to pieces. With glass shards now stuck in her face to match the tacks, Indi hooks a leg!]

...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY

[Rhyder rolls over to end up on her back. She can’t believe how long she has been in this match or that she’s still alive at all. Rhyder takes off the broken helmet leaving scratches and cuts as she does so. Now bloody, Indi rises up to look for her final foe.]
[The Butcher pops up on the outside. The cut from the exposed turnbuckle has left a bad gash across his forehead. The blood flows from the flap of skin that just hangs now. Dakota can’t see out of his left eye for blood but he reaches down to pick up the roll of duct tape he found earlier. Rhyder watches on as Smith never takes his right eye off her while he uses the tape to wrap the serious head wound. Terror grips the entire arena from the haunting scene of Dakota using cheap tape to hold his scalp together. Rhyder gets to both feet ready for a fight as Smith walks up the steps. He bends down to pick up a piece of the busted concrete block he tried to kill Bryan with earlier. The Butcher wipes the blood from his left eye to regain his full sight before pitching the piece of concrete block right at Rhyder! The small piece of concrete hits her in the face and busts her nose! Indi falls to one knee to wipe the water from her eyes from the solid shot to her nose! The Intergalactic Star Child gets her eyes clear only to catch a running Yakuza kick from Dakota!

MIKE DEMPSEY
Here is your winner, AND NEW Union Battleground Champion, ”The Butcher” Dakota Smith!
[The referee comes in holding the championship. He helps Smith up before holding the new champ’s arm high into the air. Blood oozes from beneath the cheap duct tape but Dakota does not care. He holds the championship high into the air after going through pure hell to earn it.]
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Main Event of the evening! The following battle is the Guerrilla Warfare Match, twenty competitors will enter every 90 seconds and eliminations coming only by way of pinfall or submission.

♫
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, IT'S THE PRICE I PAY
LOOK INTO MY EYES, WE ARE NOT THE SAME
YEAH, THIS IS WHERE YOU FALL APART
YEAH, THIS IS WHERE YOU BREAK
♫
[As soon as the words are screamed Toby Wagner bursts through the curtains to an echo of boos. He stands on the ramp for a minute and rolls his eyes. He looks back to the curtains as if he might actually walk back through before sighing and beginning to walk towards the ramp with minimum energy and enthusiasm.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number one, standing 6’3” and weighing in at 187 pounds, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Toby Wagner!
[The boo’s get louder upon his announcement and Toby smirks but doesn't address a single one of them as he climbs the steps and steps inside the ring. He doesn't pose he doesn't do anything besides walk straight to his corner and wave his hand encouraging for them to get on with the match.]
♫
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER FAKE SCENE
WITH NO REAL MESSAGE AND A TON OF FAKE THINGS
AND I FEEL IT INSIDE THAT I LIVE FOR MY TEAM

♫
[The opening breakdown of "King of Amarillo" by Issues hits the PA, getting a loud, immediate response of cheers from the crowd. The lighting near the entrance turns gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines, and A.J. Morales's highlight reel starts to play on the 'Tron. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, headbanging along and playing air guitar.]
[Once the first verse comes in, A.J. stops the air-guitar and starts walking to the ring, giving fist bumps and high-fives to anyone in the crowd who reaches towards him.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number two, standing 6’ even and weighing in at 187 pounds, from San Francisco, California, he is ”The Revolution” AJ Morales!
[As the chorus hits, A.J. climbs onto the apron and vaults himself over the top rope with a somersault. He pops up to his feet and throws up a clenched fist salute to the side of the crowd facing the entrance ramp, which his supporters throw right back at him. He repeats this salute on all four sides of the ring, ending with the side facing the hard cam. For this last one, he looks directly into the camera, and after he drops the salute, he mouths “Mírame” before turning to his corner, taking off his jacket and beanie, draping both objects over the ring post, and limbering up for the match.]
[The referee comes to the center ring to hold up the Union Battleground Championship belt before handing it off to an event crew member. The ref then calls for the bell to begin this war!]
[DING!]
[The two men circle one another. Both come from 4 Corners Wrestling and are aware of each other's repertoire. The two men lock up in the center of the ring then begin to swing each other around. Morales uses a knee to Toby’s midsection to gain control before whipping Wagner into the ropes! Toby bounces off them then slingshots back at AJ, who aims for a clothesline but misses! Wagner dodges to bounce off the ropes again. Morales swings around to meet Toby, who nails AJ with a Lou Thesz press that Toby transitions into mounted punches!]

Toby flies forward to end up in the ropes which allows Morales to get leap back to his feet! AJ shakes his head to clear the fog that lingers after the exchange with Toby. Morales quickly gathers himself to head for Wagner, who slips through the ropes to end up on the apron. Toby quickly gets to his feet while AJ races to the corner to leap up on the middle rope to bounce to the top in a swift motion! Wagner gets to his feet on the apron only to look up to find Morales flying through the air right at him! However, before Toby can react, AJ catches him with a diving hurricanrana off the apron! Wagner gets flung clear off the apron to end up on the outside floor!]
[AJ’s landing wasn’t pleasant either, leaving both men on the outside floor. The timer on the big screen reaches thirty seconds remaining while Toby and AJ rise to their feet at the same time. Wagner and Morales begin swapping blows on the outside of the ring! Toby pokes AJ in the eye suddenly! Morales responds by reaching up to rub the eye leading Wagner to take hold of AJ by the hair of the head from behind.

Toby keeps his grip to smash Morales face into the edge of the table again then again! AJ hits both knees as the drums hits on the stage to indicate that entrant number three is mere seconds from being revealed!]
[Toby takes his eye off the ball as the drums hit leading him to peer at the counter. He catches a sharp elbow from Morales for his mistake! AJ has a cut across his cheek from the edge of the table. Morales rises to both feet to cradle up Wagner by the head for a pop up powerbomb! AJ slams Toby into the steel security barrier with true malice intent!]

['Karma Chameleon' by the Culture Club hits over the PA System, and Indi Rhyder skips out onto the stage to a pretty big ovation. She leaps back and forth along the stage, a huge bubbly smile placed upon her lips. She turns to give the camera a wink as she passes on by down the ramp, slapping hands as she goes.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number three, standing 5’5” and weighing in at 130 pounds, from Los Angeles, California, she is ”The Galactic Princess” Indi Rhyder!
[Indi reaches ringside then makes a dash across the front row with one hand extended for high fives, and then turns abruptly to leap up onto the ring apron, and then hops up to the second rope from the outside. She waves at the capacity crowd with a grin, and then hops over the top rope to land safely in the ring.]
[AJ watches Indi make her way to the ring from ringside. Toby writhes in pain on the floor from the powerbomb into the barrier. Morales slides into the ring to come face to face with The Intergalactic Star Child.]
[Wagner stirs on the outside while AJ and Indi stare one another down in the center of the ring. Suddenly the two begin swapping blows to roaring applause. This crowd knows the UnYielding Champion from Valor and Morales is world renowned. Rhyder suddenly irish whips AJ into the ropes before hitting the ropes herself on the opposite side of the ring. The two meet in the center of the ring with Indi going for a spear that Morales counters into a DDT! AJ then quickly hooks a leg!]
...One!
BROKEN UP BY TOBY!
[Wagner comes out of nowhere to break up the pin with a steel chair! Toby smacks Morales across the back with all he’s got to save Indi! Then Wagner begins hitting her with the chair! Toby takes turns between the two wrestlers with the chair until AJ manages to roll out of the ring.]
[Dante stands at the commentary table now since Wagner took his seat. Morales has two large red welts across his back from the chair shots. Toby turns his attention to Indi who has slowly made it back to her feet! Wagner charges at her full speed ahead while holding the chair above his head! Indi rushes straight at Toby to drop kick his right knee cap! Wagner hits both knees after the violent shot after dropping the chair directly in front of him. Rhyder leaps back to her feet to bounce off the ropes behind Wagner. She comes flying in to capture Toby around the neck to drive him face first into the folding chair on the mat with a bulldog! The crowd pops as Rhyder appears primed to hook a leg. Morales slides into the ring to halt those plans while the countdown on the big screen reads sixty seconds.]
[AJ gets in the ring to catch a standing Indi with a slingblade! The maneuver sends the smaller Rhyder to the mat but she bounces right back up! Indi gets cradled up from behind by Morales! He falls back for a german suplex but holds onto Rhyder. AJ gets back up while keeping his arms wrapped around Indi to drop back for another ring rattling german suplex! Morales still has both arms around The Intergalactic Star Child as he gets back up. AJ carefully adjusts for a third german suplex! Morales leaps to his feet before getting rolled up into a pin from behind by Toby Wagner!]

Kick Out!
[Morales kicks out at the last possible moment. Toby then gets back to his feet quickly and hits the ropes full speed ahead! Wagner bounces off the ropes to come right back at Morales, who gets to one knee just in time to catch a huge big boot from Toby! The violent kick rocks the 4CW star. The countdown on the large screen above the stage ticks past twenty. The crowd begins to count along while Toby measures up AJ inside the ring. Wagner begins to stomp down on Morales. Toby kicks Morales directly in the face before standing on him with his right foot to twist the heel deep into the forehead of AJ!

MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number four, standing 5’10” and weighing in at 170 pounds, from the Lost Woods, he is ”The Gremlin” Skull Kid #2!
[Rhyder walks up the ramp as the masked Skull Kid comes crawling fast right at her! Morales is now down on the outside of the ring. The lingering effects of Wagner stomping his head into the mat in violent fashion still being felt. A tall fan is leaning up against the steel security barrier along the ramp draping over the side holding a black sleek Union Battleground bag full of merchandise.]
[Rhyder and Goblin meet directly in front of this fan with Indi attempting to catch the Skull Kid with a knee but misses! Gremlin ducks the knee and reaches up to snatch the bag from the fan. He dumps out the fitted new era hat and Lisa Frankenstein action figure inside but catches the Seldon figure before it can hit the ground. He hugs it quickly before tucking it away safe. Skull Kid 2 then takes the bag and places it over the head of Rhyder from behind! The prominent uB star logo on the bag comes into focus to show an outline of The Intergalactic Star Child’s face slowly outline. Goblin tugs at the bag to further suffocate Indi while the crowd is shocked by the violent display.]
[Morales begins to stir on the mat inside the ring. Indi hits both knees attempting in vain to breath inside the merch bag. Skull Kid 2 appears to want to murder Rhyder and with no rules he may just do that. Indi holds up her right index and middle fingers. She then jabs a hole in the bag at her mouth and as the bag pops, she takes in her first gasp of fresh air! The Skull Kid then swings around to superkick the back of Rhyder’s head which drives her face first into the barrier! Indi hits the steel stage in a pile with the bag still on her head.]

AJ hits it flush abdomen first leading Gremlin to rush at Morales full speed ahead from behind but AJ counters with a spinning back fist that catches Goblin flush on the jaw!]
[AJ knocks Skull Kid 2 down on the floor. Gremlin hits the floor where he holds his jaw briefly. Morales holds onto the apron while attempting to gather himself. After a few precious moments he turns around to find Indi Rhyder! She has tore the bag off her face and it dangles ripped and tattered around her neck. AJ goes to get ahold of Indi, who counters with a vicious leaping elbow that hits its mark!]
[The shot from the smaller Rhyder rocks Morales. He bends over slightly which allows Rhyder to push him back into the ring! AJ rolls on into the ring while Indi leaps up onto the apron to hold the top rope with both hands tight. Morales stumbles a bit getting to his feet but turns just in time to see The Intergalactic Star Child leap up onto the top rope from the apron to springboard out at AJ for a diving spear! Morales ends up near the corner where the chair still lies that Toby left.]
[The hippie then does something out of character for Indi. She takes the chair and places it carefully atop AJ’s chest! Rhyder rushes to the corner to climb the turnbuckles quickly. The shot comes in to show her with the countdown reaching thirty seconds as a backdrop. Indi then leaps off the top turnbuckle at Morales with the fans merch bag still in tatters around her throat. She gets a high ankle on the jump and lifts her knees up high toward her chest in mid air. Flashes throughout capture the moment forever. Indi lands a double foot stomp on the chair to drive it into the chest and sternum of Morales! Rhyder crawls quickly over to AJ to hook a leg!]

Rhyder sits up to find Skull Kid 2 sliding into the ring. He crawls toward Indi, who leaps to her feet to face the crazed Gremlin. The drummers on the stage have begun once again to signal another entrant will be headed to the ring as Indi and Skull Kid 2 start fist fighting!]
[The crowd is anxious within the Arena. The card has been great so far, but now the crowd can visibly be seen tensing, as the lights dim once more and the PA system crackling into life with the first sounds of 'Remember the Name' by Fort Minor.]

[The music kicks into high gear, a single golden light illuminates the stage, revealing the back of Ace Andrews in a leather light filled jacket. Ace stands there just for a moment, basking in the love from the crowd, before throwing his hands up high with the Ace of Spades hand sign, causing a long row of pyro to explode on both sides of the stage. Ace stands there posing for a moment before spinning and facing the crowd with a grin. After a few moments the Billionaire Brawler starts to pace down the ramp, strolling over and slapping hands with some fans on his way to the ring, where the announcer raises a mic.]

[“Under Black Flags We March” by Archenemy hits across the arena. Wendy Wynne struts out across the stage holding a broomstick like it’s bring your favorite weapon to work day. Wynne wastes little time with the crowd and rather focuses on Indi and Skull Kid 2 inside the ring while making her way down the aisle. Gremlin tries to choke the life from Rhyder while sitting on her chest. He continues to strangle Rhyder until Wynne calls his name from behind. Skull Kid 2 turns to see Wendy standing close to the action figure of Lisa Frankenstein that Goblin appears to covet. Wynne stomps down on the toy in a menacing manner to destroy the action figure! She continues to stomp until Skull Kid 2 pushes her out of the way! He holds the pieces of the broken toy as if he’s just lost his mother.

Wendy turns around to find Indi racing at her! She takes off at Intergalactic Star Child full speed ahead! Wynne hits a basement drop kick that halts Indi’s forward momentum suddenly to send her into a complete front flip! Wendy strikes as soon as Rhyder impacts the mat. Wynne hovers above Rhyder, who is on her stomach flat on the mat. Wendy reaches down to take two handfuls of Indi’s hair! Wynne drives her right knee into the back of Rhyder before pulling with all she’s got! The Wicked Witch screams at the crowd while attempting to break Indi into two separate pieces!]
[Indi shakes her head no emphatically! Wynne pulls tighter in response to this. The countdown meter ticks down in the background to 29 seconds. The Wicked Witch does not care about the timer but only Rhyder tapping. Wendy loses her grip suddenly! She holds two handfuls of Indi’s hair leading her to giggle. The crowd boos while Wynne gets back to her feet. She holds the hair in the open palms of her hands. Wendy holds her open hands up to her lips to blow the hair back at Indi Rhyder! The crowd boos Wendy without mercy. She eats it up.]

Wynne turns around to face out but Skull Kid 1 has made it back to his feet and has given chase! He leaps up on the middle turnbuckle before bouncing up to capture Wendy for a wicked frankensteiner off the top rope! The crowd pops as Skull Kid 1 pins The Wicked Witch!]
...One!
...Broken Up by Indi Rhyder!
[Rhyder breaks up the pin leading Skull Kid 1 to roll out of the ring. He disappears beneath the ring in an instant. Wendy notices Indi coming for her and does the same.

Skull Kid 1 opens the small flat crate. Wynne and Indi are mere feet away as the event medics rush down to check on the referee. He has an evident broken nose from colliding with the barrier.]

He pauses at the top of the stage to stare out at the crowd with his hand cupped over his eyes, and he gives the camera a tip of the hat followed by a wink just before making his way down the ramp. He slaps a few hands as he passes by while the camera swings around to follow behind him, focusing on the confederate flag sewn into his vest.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number eight, standing 6’1” and weighing in at 256 pounds, from Jackson, Mississippi, he is “The Pride of Jackson” James Radford!

The heavier Radford stirs but the taser has taken a toll on him and Skull Kid 1. Wynne gets to one knee alongside the ring but can hear something behind her. Wendy turns to find Indi pushing the stretcher left earlier by the medics! Wynne has no time to react and the edge of the rolling bed hits her head to push it flush against the edge of the ring apron with total brutality! The crowd roars while Indi hits the floor, flat on her bottom. Radford gets to one knee but continues to hold his side. Skull Kid 1 uses the ring steps to get back to a vertical base while Indi focuses solely on The Wicked Witch!]
[The new referee stands along ringside to look at the carnage. She peers over to see blood dripping from the barrier where the referee who preceded her lost many teeth and broke his nose. The countdown hits forty five seconds remaining on the big screen as Radford gets to his feet. He turns around to find Skull Kid 1 going through the crate he retrieved from beneath the ring! James walks up to Gremlin, who turns to slap a handcuff on Radford! The other end is locked on the right wrist of Skull Kid 1 himself! Radford begins throwing rights since his left is tethered to a Skull Kid now. James hammers Gremlin in the mouth with a solid shot then another! Meanwhile, Indi has rolled Wendy back into the ring. Wynne has a gash across her forehead that continues to bleed profusely. The ref comes in close to check on her but Wendy headbutts her! The new ref hits the floor with Wendy’s blood now smeared across her own face.]
[Indi hits the ropes but Wendy gets up to duck the clothesline and bounce off the ropes herself. Rhyder slings shots back at Wynne, who hits the mat flat leading Rhyder to jump the Wicked Witch. Indi bounces off the ropes yet again but this time she is nearly decapitated by Skull Kid 1 and James Radford! The two catch Rhyder at the throat with the chain of the handcuffs by total accident! Wynne hooks a leg!]
...One!
Broken up by James Radford!
[The finger splitting, ear shattering licks of “Your Disposal” by Cattle Decapitation bursts throughout the arena in a violent rage as the entire arena goes black. White strobe lights flicker at the entrance ramp, as a thick black smoke obscures the stage. After a few moments, Dakota appears in the middle of the smoke - as if he just materialized there. Smith has something shiny stuck in the front of his pants like a gun. An industrial staple gun. Dakota’s eyes are dead set on the ring, as the strobe light flickers, giving a slow-mo effect as he cracks his neck to the left and then to the right. As vicious snarl forms on his cracked lips, piercing through his beard he starts to march his way down to the ring.]
♫
YOU ALONE ARE YOUR DISPOSAL.
A LIFETIME OF STAINS, WASTING AWAY SLOWLY DOWN THE DRAIN.
NO MERCY, NO REPRISAL.
NO SECOND CHANCE!
♫
[As the growl from that last line penetrates throughout the arena, Dakota begins to march down to the ring. His boot steps are heavy, and his arms twitch and tingle at his sides as he seemingly growls and argues with himself underneath his breath. The strobe light giving everything a rather abstract horror effect as the butcher lashes out some unsuspecting fans at ring side. Dakota cockily grins as he runs his fingers down one of the scars on his stomach, chuckling to himself before continuing to make his way down to the ring, a bit more aggression in his stride.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number nine, standing 6’2” and weighing in at 240 pounds, from The Depths of Hell, he is “The Butcher” Dakota Smith!
[Smith gets to ringside to find chaos. The now bloody referee walks right up to Dakota, who swiftly pulls the staple gun from his waistband and pushes it flush to her wound! SNAP! She hits the floor with a staple now driven into the center of her forehead. Smith then rolls into the ring while still clutching the staple gun tight. Bring your own weapon to work day continues!]
[The referee stands up to rip her shirt off. The sports bra beneath keeps her covered but she quits on the spot. Screaming at Dante, who continues to call this chaotic match with zero rules. The ref storms up the ramp to leave this match totally unattended. Back in the ring, Skull Kid 1 and James Radford are fighting it out. The two men are chained together by a set of handcuffs. Goblin comes in fast for a short armed clothesline but The Pride of Jackson ducks it! James uses the chain to spin Skull Kid 1 around for a vicious short arm lariat! The shot sends him to the mat but also pulls Radford along for a pin!]
[No referee means no count. James even hooks a leg but the new referee only now appears at the curtain. Suddenly Dakota comes up from behind to use the staple gun down the spine of Radford! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! James rolls off Skull Kid 1 to grab at the three staples embedded in his back.]
[Skull Kid 1 gets yanked by Radford. Dakota almost licks his chops as he buries both knees into the chest of Goblin. Smith holds him by the throat to steady the staple gun. Dakota then begins stapling the mask to Skull Kid 1’s actual skull. SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! Smith continues embedding staples deep into the mask and face of Skull Kid 1 until a punch from Radford rocks him! James leans in to throw an elbow but Dakota counters by stapling Radford’s right ear to his head! The deep staple digs in to hold the ear flush against the side of James’s head!]
[The new referee slides back into the ring as Indi makes it back to her feet in the corner. Wendy slid out of the ring as soon as Dakota stapled the last referee. Wynne pulls Rhyder out of the ring beneath the bottom rope! Indi slams face first onto the mat to be yanked to the outside of the ring. Soon as Indi hits her feet she begins throwing rights at Wendy! The two women begin fighting on the outside of the ring. Wendy comes up with a sharp back hand chop! Then another! Rhyder ends up with her back up against the security barrier as the camera shot swings around to show the countdown timer click down to eighteen seconds. Wendy rushes at Indi full speed ahead for a clothesline but Rhyder holds onto her as both women spill out into the crowd to roaring ovation. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Dakota’s last staple is now stuck in Radfords skull. James and Skull Kid 1 are still chained together as Smith drops the empty staple gun. James picks it up fast then swings it wildly at Dakota’s head! The steel gun smashes into the side of The Butcher’s head to send him flat on the mat and off of Gremlin!]
[Wynne and Rhyder are now throwing punches in the crowd. Indi gets the upper hand with a solid elbow to the jaw! The Wicked Witch stumbles back leading Rhyder to rush at her. A fan sitting in a folding chair next to Wynne holds a large cup of soda that Wendy snatches up to throw in the face of the charging Rhyder! Indi gets her eyes full of mountain dew! The fan seated between the two women stands up to move out of the way which leads Wendy to rush at the empty chair! She leaps to step up on the chair in mid charge to dive off at the now blind Indi with a forearm smash! Both women hit the outside floor!]
[The familiar drums begin to play on the stage to signal a new entrant is on the way. Inside the ring, Radford pulls Skull Kid 1 by the handcuffs! Gremlin leans on the ropes while James stomps down on Dakota with real fury. James has large staples stuck in him all over. Smith manages to roll out of the ring just as the drums halt.]

[The introduction of the song is sudden, we hear an ominous tone that follows the Terminator line. The keys are dragged out, lingering in the air as the song gets to a slow start. Seconds pass, as a backing track is finally introduced along with the lengthy notes. Eventually, after a minute, the song really kicks into gear. Neon strobe lights flash along with the beat, a shadowy figure keeps in the darkness. Slowly, we see Bryan Williams methodically walk out from the back. He's dressed for a fight, his jacket covering his torso and his baseball bat in hand. It rests comfortably on his shoulder as it keeps its dangerous message. The wolf mask on his head stays contrasted with the neon lights and the darkness. Bryan keeps his head low, as the song continues to play along. The techno beat ramping up more and more, as the lights around him shimmer and dance.]
[The song continues to play, as Bryan stands on the top of the ramp. With his head down, Bryan lets the baseball bat fall from his shoulder, the weight of the bat being pulled towards the ground. His head snaps forward, as he slowly begins to make his way down towards the ring.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number ten, standing 6’2” and weighing in at 219 pounds, from New York, New York, he is Bryan Williams!
[Bryan makes his way to the ring, keeping himself at a brisk pace. Dakota can see Williams has a bat but still charges at him anyway! Williams takes a swing Smith but misses! Dakota ducks it but Bryan swings around to nail him across the back with the bat anyway! Dakota hits one knee while Williams assesses the situation around him. Inside the ring, Radford and Skull Kid 1 are still fighting it out on the mat while chained together. Indi and Wendy are back up with Wynne holding onto Rhyder by the hair of her head. Wendy walks her toward the stage through the crowd. The camera shifts back to the ring where Goblin and Radford are back up! Skull Kid one has many staples in his face which blocks the eye holes of his mask. James realizes Gremlin is essentially blind. Radford can hear someone else in the ring and turns to see Williams charging at both men holding a baseball bat! He swings it wildly leading James to cover up but this jerks Skull Kid 1 in the line of fire! Bryan smashes Skull Kid 1 with the bat before being thrown out of the ring from behind by Dakota Smith out of nowhere! Gremlin begins to fall but Radford cradles him up for a quick spike piledriver! The maneuver nearly rips his wrist out of socket but James manages to hook a leg!]

Skull Kid 1 has been eliminated!
[The new referee comes in close to unlock the handcuffs so Skull Kid 1 can leave the match and to free James Radford. Meanwhile, on the outside of the ring, Smith has caught Williams and rushes at him forward for a charging headbutt! The shot rocks Williams leading Dakota to take hold of Bryan by the throat! Smith lifts the lighter Williams up into the air to chokeslam him through Dante’s announce table.]
[The countdown continues to tick down past 38 seconds while Wynne and Indi fight through the crowd! Wendy used the soda to gain the upper hand, but now uses fists and knees to inflict more damage on the way towards the stage. Suddenly, Rhyder comes alive! She swings around to nearly superkick The Wicked Witch out of her red slippers! Indi irish whips Wendy into the stage but she catches herself on the edge before crashing into it. Wynne quickly climbs up on the steel stage but Rhyder takes hold of her right foot! Wendy uses her left foot to kick Indi in the face!

Rhyder uses the miss to cradle up Wendy for a vertical suplex on the steel stage! The countdown reaches fifteen as the two women struggle to recover.]
[Dakota admires his work while Williams lies in the rubble of Dante’s announce table. Smith suddenly gets clobbered from behind! The sudden shot causes him to trip over Williams with Radford falling down on both men! Country Fine then stands up quickly while holding onto the right arm of The Butcher! Radford pulls up Dakota, who swings at James! Radford catches the lick right on the jaw! James falls back but comes right back at Smith with a forearm! The Butcher falls back before a bat hits him on the side of the right knee cap out of nowhere! Williams has gotten up and found his bat! Bryan takes the edge of the bat after Dakota hits one knee to lunge the end of the weapon into the back of Smith’s skull! Williams then looks up at Radford, who rushes in with a knee to the gut! Bryan bends over in response which leads Country Fine to cradle him up for a pump handle slam! Radford lifts up Williams and at the highest point of the maneuver, Bryan puts the bat behind James head to grasp it tight in both hands to turn the slam into a facebuster!]
”HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
[Wynne crawls down the ramp toward the ring. Her face is covered in blood. A gash in her forehead has left the witch with a crimson mask. Indi has stood up mere feet behind her. The drums begin to play on the stage. Rhyder looks over at them. She walks over to one of the large drums and swiftly snatches it from the player! Now one drum hits while Indi slips up behind Wynne. The Wicked Witch gets up while Indi sneaks.]

Smith slides out of the ring on the opposite side from Bryan, who watches Dakota closely. MacNamara slides into the ring leading Williams to begin stomping down on him! Indi Rhyder glides through the ropes and out onto the apron. Indi appears tired and battered but fights on without relenting even the slightest.

Dakota begins to peer up at Indi, who takes off along the apron! She dives off at Smith to catch him with double knees in the chest!

[James Radford kicks the smaller wrestler in the chest almost immediately! Reventón bounces off the ropes to slingshot back at James, who has already built momentum off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring! Reventón leaps into the air as both men meet in the center of the ring for a wicked hurricanrana on the larger Country Fine!

[Indi applies an ankle lock onto Anna Daniels on the opposite side of the ring! She twists on the ankle wanting to snap it into two pieces. These two women hate each other and it's very apparent.

Daniel slid beneath the bottom rope to raise up to find a charging Johanna Krieger, out of nowhere! She catches MacNamara with a running bicycle knee! Krieger shakes her head still feeling the effects of the high fall earlier after sustaining the worst of it. Johanna quickly hooks a leg!]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Daniel MacNamara has been eliminated!
[Williams locates his bat on the opposite side of the ring. Dakota gives chase only to catch the bat to the side from Bryan! Williams takes the edge of the bat and drives it with all he’s got into Smith’s ribcage! The Butcher hits one knee as he feels two ribs crack. Williams falls back on the mat to catch his bearings after the onslaught brought on by the crazed Dakota Smith.]

[“Burn The Witch” by My Ruin begins to play over the PA. The Virginia crowd begins to boo immediately. Claire Lichfield walks out onto the stage to a loud negative response.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number eighteen, standing 5’8” and weighing in at 140 pounds, from Inverary, Scotland, she is Claire Lichfield!
[Claire glitters and shines in the bright lights with her fancy outfit. She struts down the ramp before picking up speed to run head on into Indi and Anna Daniels! She takes both women out then gets up quick to start dropping stomps! Fallon Lockhart slips back into the ring after eating the thumbtacks stacked three people high earlier. Reventón leaps onto James Radford’s back from the top turnbuckle! The smaller wrestler continues trying to choke out the larger Country Fine. Radford slings him off forward onto the mat! Reventón hits the canvas in a pile but before James can react, Lockhart flies into the shot out of nowhere to hit a 450 senton to wow the entire crowd. She hooks a leg and Radford does not stop her whatsoever!]

[DING DING DING!]

[Bryan Williams slips into the ring holding his bat. He hits James from behind at the heel! The violent shot sends Country Fine to the mat to clutch at his ankle. Krieger pops up out of the far corner to charge at Williams, who responds with the end of his bat into her throat! The shot robs Johanna of all the air inside her lungs. Williams quickly cradles her up for a brainbuster onto his kneecap! CTE! Bryan hooks a leg!]

Johanna Krieger has been eliminated!
[Indi Rhyder gets rolled into the ring by Claire Lichfield suddenly! Anna Daniels has made it back to her feet but both her and Indi are bruised from the brutal exchange just shared by the two. Rhyder has been wrestling for an hour straight and it’s beginning to show. Suddenly a ladder flies into the ring out of nowhere! The Butcher is back up and already finding new toys to play with. The ladder hits James Radford in the side of the head! A gash appears over the ear stapled to his skull. James rolls out of the ring quickly to recover while medics come down to check on Johanna for a concussion. Lichfield gets in the ring after rolling Indi inside. She stomps down on the helpless Krieger simply for kicks before turning her attention back to Indi. Claire wants to be the one to end Indi’s historic run here tonight.]
[Dakota rolls back into the ring to locate the ladder. Lockhart slips through the ropes and out onto the apron. She watches on to wait for the perfect moment. Smith takes the ladder and props it up between the top and middle ropes in the corner. After tucking it in tight, The Butcher turns around to find a suitable foe to smash into the ladder. This causes Lockhart to leap up on the top rope to springboard off at Smith, who catches her in mid air with a stiff european uppercut! The violent counter causes the smaller Fallon to hit the mat hard.]

[The hypnotic and Satanic intro to "Mercury" By Ghostemane begins playing as the house lights dim out and begins flashing violently to the beat. After the intro plays out and the heavy bass drops SWITCHBLXDE rises out from the bottom of the stage through a blackened fog. He is attached to a scarecrow perch in the scarecrow position with his arms spread out wide and his head lowered to the ground. He oddly and violently snaps one of his arms off as he begins twitching. He rips the other free before dropping down from the perch. He twitches and convulses, almost demon like, before raising up from his knees with his arms back into a spread stance. He begins down the ramp, twitching and shaking to the beat.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number nineteen, standing 6’4” and weighing in at 215 pounds, from The 7th Circle of Hell, he is ”The Scum God” SWITCHBLXDE!
[As he comes to the ring he steps up onto the outside of the turnbuckle and spread his arms again as he lets his head hang and twitch about. He steps over the ropes and gets into the ring where he comes to the ropes facing the hard cam. He leans over and uses his pointer fingers to pull down his bottom eyelids, exposing only the whites in his eyes as he shows off his silver teeth. The music dies down as the lights return to normal. SWITCHBLXDE takes a position in the corner, hanging on the ropes in the scarecrow position. Radford comes flying in for a big splash! James smashes SWITCHBLXDE between the turnbuckles and his own weight while The Scum God was upside down! Radford grapples him up for a front facing elbow drop! Then another!]
[Indi gets back to her feet to find Claire Lichfield staring her down from across the ring. The two women charge across the ring to clothesline one another! They hit the canvas with a hard thud but both bounce right back up! Williams and Dakota begin to fight over the ladder that Smith found beneath the ring in the far corner.]
[SWITCHBLXDE rolls out of the ring to find Fallon Lockhart on the apron. Lockhart runs along the apron to nail The Scum God with a knee! The shot turns him completely around where Radford is charging from the opposite direction for a Lou Thesz Press! Lockhart admires her work before slipping back through the ropes to catch the corner of the ladder to her forehead! Dakota grins as he busts open the smallest remaining wrestler in this contest. Williams gets out of dodge once The Butcher got hold of the ladder. Smith uses the ladder and his body weight to pin Fallon to the mat!]
...One!
…Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Fallon Lockhart has been eliminated!
[The drummer begins to play for the final time. Dakota smiles wide then shakes wildly as he raises up off the ladder and Lockhart. Williams comes up from behind with his right foot to catch it flush on the back of The Butcher’s head to stomp it into the ladder and put even more weight on the much smaller Fallon!]
[SWITCHBLXDE gets back in the ring to find Anna Daniels waiting! She begins kicking him with all she’s got with her left leg before switching the right! The larger wrestler gets worked into the corner where Daniels leaps up to catch him beneath the chin with a violent knee! The pop can be heard throughout! The God of Scum falls forward on the mat to end up on his back. Anna leaps up onto the middle turnbuckle to bounce on up to the top! She leaps off to hit a picture perfect corkscrew shooting star press that she transitions into an elbow drop! The maneuver wows the crowd as she hooks a leg!]

[The drums stop as no music plays or anything. Nikolas Thoreau walks down the ramp. The crowd is confused by the lack of showsman ship by this man leading to them to boo him instantly.]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Coming in at number twenty, he is Nikolas Thoreau!
[The crowd boos as Thoreau climbs up on the apron with nothing but business at hand on his mind. Music and theatrics are for the weak, in his mind. Nikolas slips through the ropes but gets the back of his heel caught. He stumbles into the ring to be grappled by Anna Daniels! She irish whips him toward the nearest corner, where the ladder is stuck in the ropes! SMACK! Thoreau smashes into the ladder full speed ahead! Daniels quickly rushes over to make a pin.]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Nikolas Thoreau has been eliminated!
[Claire Lichfield has gotten Indi Rhyder down and now she pulls the turnbuckle apart in the corner directly across from the ladder. The thumbtacks still cover the mat thick. Most of the wrestlers even near the ring including Fallon Lockhart, who is being taken out by medics, are full of thumbtacks. Dakota gets back to his feet inside the ring leading Anna Daniels to charge at him! Smith shuffles his feet slightly to catch Anna! He lifts her up into the air only to fall back causing her to hit face first onto the ladder still stuck in the corner! Dakota quickly hooks a leg!]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY

[Indi struggles to get to one knee but Claire cuts her off again! This time she hooks on a rear naked choke hold! Both women fall to the mat with Rhyder thrashing around to get free! Lichfield laughs wildly while attempting to KO Indi for good. Rhyder begins to fade leading the referee to come in close to check. James Radford comes out of nowhere to begin stomping down on Claire Lichfield! The mudhole stomps hit their mark with pinpoint accuracy. Indi gets up slowly then pulls herself on up using the ropes in the corner. She then leaps up to bounce split legged back onto Lichfield on the mat with Kharmic Pain! Bryan Williams hits Radford from behind while Indi hooks a leg on Claire!]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Claire Lichfield has been eliminated!
[The crowd hits a fever pitch as the four remaining wrestlers are now all in the ring. Radford and Williams start throwing punches at one another while Dakota stares down Indi Rhyder from across the ring. All of them are covered from head to toe with thumbtacks thanks to Lockharts gift. The Butcher charges across the ring looking to hurt Indi but she catches him with a drop toe hold that sends him face first into the naked turnbuckle! The sharp exposed turnbuckle slices Dakota’s forehead all the way across! He quickly grabs his forehead with both hands as he hits the mat before rolling out of the ring. Rhyder can see the blood and realizes she may have just hurt Smith.]
[Radford and Williams are going blow for blow on the opposite side of the ring. James nails Bryan with an uppercut that rocks him a bit. Williams staggers back leading James to come in but Bryan counters with a ripcord lariat! MANTRA! Williams drops down on the mat to hook the right leg of The Pride of Jackson.]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]

James Radford has been eliminated!
[Three remain. Dakota is still on the outside floor, face down. He has both hands on his face and bleeding profusely. The Butcher refuses medical help while attempting to recover. Indi Rhyder gets to her feet to find Bryan Williams standing across from her. He holds the space helmet that another competitor wore to taunt Indi.]
[Williams comes at Rhyder wildly while swinging the glass space helmet at her! She ducks it causing him to miss completely. Rhyder hits one knee while Bryan swings around to begin to swing the glass helmet back around but Indi uppercuts Williams in the crotch! A wicked nutshot that shocks the entire front row! Indi then reaches him to wrap both arms around the back of Bryan’s neck before dropping down to smash his chin on the top of her head! Williams ends up on his back. Indi looks over at the space helmet and then over at the turnbuckles. The Intergalactic Star Child picks it up and carefully slips the space lid onto her head. Indi then rushes to the closest corner. She scales the turnbuckles to end up facing back out at Bryan Williams while wearing the glass helmet.]
[Indi leaps off the top turnbuckle aiming for a flying headbutt in the space helmet! Rhyder hits her mark but it shatters the glass space helmet to pieces. With glass shards now stuck in her face to match the tacks, Indi hooks a leg!]
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
[DING DING DING!]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Bryan Williams has been eliminated!
[Rhyder rolls over to end up on her back. She can’t believe how long she has been in this match or that she’s still alive at all. Rhyder takes off the broken helmet leaving scratches and cuts as she does so. Now bloody, Indi rises up to look for her final foe.]
[The Butcher pops up on the outside. The cut from the exposed turnbuckle has left a bad gash across his forehead. The blood flows from the flap of skin that just hangs now. Dakota can’t see out of his left eye for blood but he reaches down to pick up the roll of duct tape he found earlier. Rhyder watches on as Smith never takes his right eye off her while he uses the tape to wrap the serious head wound. Terror grips the entire arena from the haunting scene of Dakota using cheap tape to hold his scalp together. Rhyder gets to both feet ready for a fight as Smith walks up the steps. He bends down to pick up a piece of the busted concrete block he tried to kill Bryan with earlier. The Butcher wipes the blood from his left eye to regain his full sight before pitching the piece of concrete block right at Rhyder! The small piece of concrete hits her in the face and busts her nose! Indi falls to one knee to wipe the water from her eyes from the solid shot to her nose! The Intergalactic Star Child gets her eyes clear only to catch a running Yakuza kick from Dakota! Smith wastes no time lifting her up into a cradle for a Fisherman Suplex lift into a sitout spinebuster! DEADMAN WONDERLAND! The Butcher then hooks a leg!]

[The crowd is in pandemonium! The war is finally over and only one man is left standing…]
MIKE DEMPSEY
Here is your winner, AND NEW Union Battleground Champion, ”The Butcher” Dakota Smith!
[The referee comes in holding the championship. He helps Smith up before holding the new champ’s arm high into the air. Blood oozes from beneath the cheap duct tape but Dakota does not care. He holds the championship high into the air after going through pure hell to earn it.]
