Match 3 – Lunar Warfare Rumble!

The Conquest-Tron comes alive and shows the logo for the Rumble Match up… and starts a short countdown. 

The crowd lights up. 

Ben Price – And here we go. The Lunar Rumble that we have been talking about for months!

Eddie Vega – Biggest match in CWF history about to begin. 

Eric Wilson – Welcome one and all to the Lunar Rumble! Two people will begin in the ring and one more will be added every two minutes until everyone has entered the ring. Elimination will be by sending your opponent over the top rope to the floor, where both feet contact with the floor. Last person standing wins a Conquest title shot at Tribal Warfare! Presenting the first to the ring, weighing in at 218 pounds…he is “Moonchild” Samael Drago!

When the first notes of “Moonchild” by Fields of the Nephilim hit, snow begins to fall on the ramp. Drago is slowly lifted up from under the ramp. The spotlight follows him throughout, as he stands there quietly. The lights go out everywhere except for on Drago. Then, as the verse begins, the pyros go off, as Drago makes his way to the ring, dressed in his iconic Dragon-scales jacket. As he makes his way to the ring, he scans the ringside to see the audience, pathetic as usual.

As the chorus hits- “Moonchild, lower me down, lower me down”, Drago gets into the ring slowly, taking a second to process the reaction of the crowd. He stops in the middle, unfazed by anything. He slowly takes off his jacket. Ready for war.

Ben Price – Samael Drago, fresh off his defeat at the hands of Kronin Reinhardt in the three battles to determine who would go on to face Abigail Dresden tonight. He’s bound to be hungry for victory, but has a tall wall to climb in order to get that title shot.

Eddie Vega – I’m sure he’ll manage. He’s fierce and strong, even for his smaller size.

Eric Wilson – And second down to the ring, weighing in at 135 pounds…she is Tetsuo Oni IV! 

The intro ‘static’ start to “Reckless” By Lacuna Coil starts to play. When the guitars hit, Tetsuo Oni IV steps out onto the stage. She stands there, arms outstretched, as she’s wearing the motley robe to her gear for a few moments. 

As the song picks up, she starts to do a slow walk down to the ring. 

When she gets to the ring, she climbs up the ring stairs to the corner. Once up on the apron, she doffs her robe and hands it to the ring attendant. She then pulls the top rope and springboards to the top turnbuckle, where she takes a seat to wait for the bell to ring.

Ben Price – Is she sure that she needs to sit up there right now at the start of an over-the-top rope battle royal?

Eddie Vega – Probably not. Let’s see what happens. 

As the bell is sounded for the match, Samael Drago charges at the perched Tetsuo Oni IV with the intent to push her right off the turnbuckle and to the floor. Tetsuo Oni jumps up to her feet and flips over the head of Samael Drago so that he has to put his arms out to halt himself from crashing into the corner. Tetsuo Oni hits the mat and launches into a corkscrew spear that sends Samael chest-first into the corner. Tetsuo Oni backs up a step, but Samael launches himself backward to strike Tetsuo in the mouth with an elbow to stun her. A spinning wheel kick would put Tetsuo to the mat.  

Ben Price – Fast action right off the bat.

Eddie Vega – They would look to eliminate one another as soon as possible. That would grant a break in the match until the next person comes down to the ring. 

Samael watches as Tetsuo gets back to her feet and goes for the shotgun suplex, but Tetsuo goes sideways with a lightning-quick cartwheel. She catches Samael as he gets back up to throw him back to the mat with a jiu-jitsu throw. Samael gets right back to his feet, but is caught with a bicycle kick that sends him right back to the mat. 

Samael gets right back up, but is whipped into the ropes. Tetsuo runs at him on the rebound and turns as if to do a crossbody, but hits a running knee strike to the midsection to double Samael over into a flip to the mat! Tetsuo gets right back up and goes for a standing moonsault, but Samael gets his knees up to catch her in the midsection! He dumps her off to the side and gets back to his feet. He waits for her to get back up before executing a picture-perfect unset flip piledriver!

Ben Price – You know, there’s wrestling to throw someone out of the ring and then there’s having to pick up a knocked out person up and throw them out.

Eddie Vega – Maybe he wants to make a statement?

Samael Drago gets Tetsuo Oni up into a fireman’s carry position and begins calmly walking toward the ring ropes. That’s when he sees the timer on the ConquestTron beginning to count down. The crowd counts with it as it counts down to zero and there’s a loud bizz!

Eric Wilson – Coming next to the ring, weighing in at 217 pounds…he is Johnny Sniper!

The arena lights dim as “Jonny Sniper” by Enter Shikari begins to play. The crowd erupts as Johnny Sniper steps out onto the stage, his eyes scanning the crowd with military precision. Wearing his signature camo pants, brown boots, and green wrist tape, he raises a hand in a crisp salute before marching down the ramp. His movements are methodical, exuding discipline and focus as he climbs the ring steps and enters the ring, ready for battle.

Samael watches Johnny Sniper enter the ring, barely noticing that Tetsuo Oni slips down behind him to the mat and grabs him from behind for a release German suplex! Sniper runs over and clotheslines Tetsuo to the mat!

Ben Price – Oh, now things will be working their way up now that Johnny Sniper is here!

Eddie Vega – His performance has been spotty at best. He’s not going to get far tonight.

Johnny puts the boot to Samael Drago while Tetsuo slowly gets up. She taps Johnny on the shoulder and steps back so that when he turns around, she can superkick him in the mouth! Johnny spins around, spitting blood all around, while Samael gets up. He grabs Johnny in a belly-to-belly suplex and tosses him from the ring! 

Eric Wilson – Johnny Sniper has been eliminated!

Ben Price – That was quick. 

Eddie Vega – He thought that he could jump on into the fight. Didn’t happen that way.

Tetsuo rushes at Samael, kicking him in the gut and getting him up into a vertical suplex. She attempts to dump him over the ropes, but he grabs the middle rope on the way down and slides back in under the bottom rope to sweep Tetsuo off of her feet! 

Samael Drago gets back to his feet and pulls Tetsuo Oni IV up and whips her into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. He goes to put his shoulder into her on the rebound, but she does a flip, smashing his face with both knees and sending him right to the mat! Samael sits up, blood streaming from his nose as Tetsuo Oni goes back to the ropes and comes back with a knee strike to the face that levels Samael! 

Tetsuo begins to pull Samael and starts working to get him over the ropes when the countdown begins again. Samael hits a back elbow to the side of the head to knock Tetsuo back a few steps while he composes himself. The ConquestTron lights up as Eric Wilson begins speaking.

Eric Wilson – And next to enter the ring, weighing in at 328 pounds…it is Hehehe!

“Sweet Dreams” by the Aviators begins playing as Hehehe walks out from the back. He looks a little lost without Hahaha, but heads down to the ring anyway. 

Hehehe gets into the ring where Samael immediately sets upon him with a series of right hands. Hehehe absorbs the punishment and strikes back with a headbutt to the chest that knocks the wind out of Samael like an explosion. Hehehe then walks away from the downed Samael, but is nailed in the face with a drop kick from Tetsuo that staggers him backward a few steps.

Samael grabs the staggered Hehehe for a Russian Legsweep that Tetsuo enhances with a knee to the chest as Hehehe hits the mat! 

Ben Price – Samael and Tetsuo working together?

Eddie Vega – Sometimes you have to do that to get rid of the greater evil.

Ben Price – I don’t know if I would call Hehehe a “greater evil”. He’s just kind of dumb. 

Eddie Vega – Well, he works for the von Krausses so technically he’s in the greater evil camp. 

Hehehe rolls away and back to his feet as Samael and Tetsuo set themselves on him once again. Hehehe fires back with a punch to the midsection of Samael and an uppercut to send him to the mat. He then grabs Tetsuo Oni, lifting her up and bringing her down onto her left knee onto the mat! Tetsuo rolls around while clutching at her leg. Samael gets back to his feet and grabs Hehehe for an armlock/shoulderlock combination! 

Samael drags Hehehe to the corner while Tetsuo sits in the middle of the ring to rest. Samael slams Hehehe’s face into the turnbuckle ten times and then bulldogs him to the mat. That’s when he walks over to the resting Tetsuo and goes to pick her up and throw her bodily over the ropes if she wants to go or not. Tetsuo wiggles until she is capable of falling out of Samael’s arms and grabs him on the way down for a cutter! 

Ben Price – Chaos in the ring as all three people go at it.

Eddie Vega – I’d say I’m surprised that they hadn’t eliminated the clown yet, but he weighs about as much as the both of them put together. 

Ben Price – That’s one heavy clown!

Eddie Vega – You said it, not me. 

Tetsuo gets up, but is punched in the spine by Hehehe, who then pulls her up into a fireman’s carry that he drops her into a backbreaker! He holds her there for a moment, bending her backwards over his knee. Samael Drago gets up and watches what’s going on with a smile, but then the ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again, and the crowd counts along with until the buzzer goes off!

Eric Wilson – Next to enter the ring at this time, weighing in at 220 pounds…he is Steve Murdock!

The opening notes of “Walk” by Pantera play as Steve Murdock stands at the entry way as the wave of crowd sentiment of either boos or cheers reach a fever pitch. He then raises his barbed wire wrapped kendo stick in the air and jogs to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and cracks Samael across the face with the kendo stick, dragging the barbed wire across his face!

Ben Price – Steve Murdock is pretty bandaged up from the Elite title match that went on before this match, but he comes in strong!

Eddie Vega – Is he allowed to bring that into the ring? He could be disqualified?

Ben Price – There’s no disqualification in this kind of match.

Eddie Vega – Then, why doesn’t everyone bring weapons?

Ben Price – Because it’s in poor taste. 

Eddie Vega – Yes, but-

Samael Drago backs up to the corner while clutching at the right side of his face where blood seeps through his fingers from the wide gash given to him by Steve, who turns his attentions to Hehehe. He cracks his barbed wire kendo stick across the back a few times, shattering the weapon. Hehehe drops Tetsuo Oni onto the mat and stands up, turning to face Steve Murdock with a wide grin. He gives a ghastly giggle and punches Steve in the midsection to double him over and then hits a double-underhook suplex. 

Hehehe begins stomping Steve Murdock with a certain amount of glee. Tetsuo Oni looks to get involved, but Samael grabs her from behind and slams her to the mat with a German suplex. He picks her up again and goes for another German suplex, this time aiming to throw her out. He lifts her into the air, but before he can get her over the ropes, Hehehe kicks him in the nuts. Samael Drago falls straight down. He lands on his butt and curls into a ball while Tetsuo Oni hits the top rope with the small of her back and falls back inside the ring, landing butt-first onto the cut side of Samael’s face!

Eddie Vega – Oh, jeeze! That’s going to leave a mark!

Ben Price – Yeah. I mean, Samael’s face is already marked by Steve Murdock.

Eddie Vega – No, I mean on Tetsuo’s butt! Blood transfer, making it look like she’s on her period without one of those devices used to contain the blood.

Ben Price – Oh, gross. 

Hehehe looks at the devastation that he’s caused with a certain amount of pride, but he turns around right into a fireball to the face from Steve Murdock! The Hardcore Icon belts the blinded clown a few times in the face with a pair of brass knuckles before whipping him into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. He follows as Hehehe puts on the brakes at the ropes and begins trying to get him over the ropes, though the clown is so much heavier than the Hardcore Icon that it’s not as easy as you would think. The ConquestTron lights up with a countdown yet again until it buzzes!

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 215 pounds…he is Malibu Mike Swanson!

“California Girls” by the Beach Boys begins playing as Mike Swanson walks out from the back to the cheering of the fans (women in particular). He poses for the fans for a moment before heading straight down to the ring, where he slides in under the ropes and starts helping Steve Murdock try to eliminate Hehehe!   

Samael Drago and Tetsuo Oni are slow to get to their feet. They see what’s going on across the ring and not to one another before running across the ring. Samael hits Steve with a dropkick while Tetsuo Oni hits Mike Swanson with a dropkick. All three stay in the ring while Samael and Tetsuo stand side by side. Samael acts first, elbowing Tetsuo in the side of the head and grabbing her for a sit-out piledriver!  

Hehehe sits up and looks over at Mike Swanson and Steve Murdock as they both get up. He points at them and begins to laugh like an unhinged maniac. Steve looks livid while Mike looks at himself as if there was something funny about him. He looks on and shrugs, deciding to laugh along. Steve smacks him in the mouth with the brass knuckles, sending him to the mat, where he begins to bleed. Hehehe gets up, and Steve Murdock hits him a few times with the brass knuckles, but despite dark blood leaking freely and the clown nose honking, Hehehe advances on Steve Murdock. 

Steve throws a punch, but Hehehe catches it, brass knuckles and all. Hehehe smiles as he begins to squeeze the hand with the brass knuckles.

Hehehe – That’s just not funny, Hardcore Man.

Steve’s eyes go wide, and he’s driven to his knees as the brass knuckles bend and collapse slightly, and his hand goes crunch. 

Samael Drago gets up and sees that Tetsuo Oni is still lying on the mat. He goes to lift her when a bloody-mouthed Mike Swanson grabs him from behind. Samael hits a back elbow to break free of the grab and slips behind Mike Swanson so that he can, hook him up for another German suplex. This one tosses Mike Swanson from the ring!

Eric Wilson – Malibu Mike Swanson has been eliminated!

Samael Drago stands over the fallen Tetsuo Oni and points down at her. 

Samael Drago – You are next! 

Ben Price – Awfully confident of him to be saying something like that when he hasn’t been able to put her out yet.

Eddie Vega – Not yet. He’s working up to it. 

Hehehe pulls Steve Murdock up by his brass knuckled hand and releases it so we can see that both the knuckles and the hand are mangled. He picks Steve up into a press slam position and sends him flying over the top rope, where he lands on the mat with a heap. 

Eric Wilson – “The Hardcore Icon” Steve Murdock has been eliminated!

Samael pulls Tetsuo up and gets behind her to do another German suplex, but he doesn’t get her up into the air before Hehehe grabs them both in a massive bear hug, squeezing them together. About that time the ConquestTron lights up with another countdown when it buzzes…

Eric Wilson – And coming next to the ring, weighing in at 335 pounds…he is “the Dreadnaught” Miguel Lanza Jr!

As Disturb’s “Won’t Back Down” starts to play over the Arena’s PA System, the big man from Puerto Rico walks out. He raises up his left hand in a fist as he stands there one moment to take in whatever the crowd’s reaction may be tonight. Once he’s ready, he makes his way down to the ring, occasionally giving the fans what is a very high-five for them.

Once he gets to the ring, he reaches up and pulls him self to the apron via pulling the top rope. He then enters, stepping over the ropes and begins hammering Hehehe over the back of the head and shoulders with forearm clubs.

Hehehe releases Samael and Tetsuo, spinning around to face Miguel. The two exchange some punches when Miguel whips Hehehe to the ropes. Samael makes another attempt to German suplex Tetsuo out of the ring, but Miguel grabs her by the ankle and keeps her from falling out of the ring. She falls to the mat, and Miguel kicks Samael in the gut to double him over. He never takes advantage of the situation as Hehehe puts a shoulder charge to the small of his back, knocking him straight into an uppercut by Samael. 

Miguel is spun around by Hehehe, but Miguel connects with an elbow strike to the clown’s temple and forces him to be staggered back a few steps. He then throws himself backward, catching Samael with an elbow before getting him in a side headlock and bulldogging him to the mat. Miguel gets up, catches a rushing Hehehe, and bodyslams him to the mat. He then walks over and helps Tetsuo Oni to her feet. They both turn to face Hehehe and Samael who are both getting up. 

Tetsuo Oni – You get the ugly one.

Miguel Lanza Jr – Which one is that?

Tetsuo grabs Samael, throwing him down to the mat with a butterfly suplex while Miguel begins punching in Hehehe’s ugly mug. Tetsuo Oni grabs Samael from the mat and begins running toward the ropes with him to send him over, but Samael drops to his knees and sends Tetsuo to the ropes alone. She bounces off of the ropes and comes back with a running knee strike directly to Samael’s face!

Miguel punches Hehehe a few times and only gets leered at. Miguel then responds with an inverted atomic drop. This gets Hehehe’s attention as he backs away while reaching for his crotch area. Miguel backs up to the ropes so he can bounce off of them and take the clown down with a spear! 

Tetsuo pulls Samael to his feet and gets him whipped to the ropes. She follows him with the intent to clothesline him over the ropes. Instead, Samael sidesteps the attack and pulls down the ropes so that a surprised Tetsuo goes over the top rope, but she does land both feet onto the ring apron. Samael grabs her by the back of the head and runs with her to the corner to smash her face into the ringpost. Tetsuo blocks the attempt, fighting to keep her face from being smashed into the ringpost. She gets one hand free to dig her fingers into the cuts on his face, and he releases her to back away. Tetsuo re-enters the ring.

Miguel stands up and watches as Hehehe gets up. He slams the clown in the side of the head with an elbow, but it doesn’t really faze him. He kicks the clown in the gut and power bombs him to the mat. This plants the clown, knocking the foul air from his lungs. Miguel pulls Hehehe up and walks him over to the ropes, working to get him thrown out of the ring. 

Ben Price – Looks like this has become a tag team against two individuals. 

Eddie Vega – That’s exactly what it is. Hehehe and Samael won’t work together, but Tetsuo and Miguel will. 

Tetsuo begins stalking Samael, who is leaning against the corner while clutching at his face, which has begun bleeding again. Tetsuo gets close, and Samael whips his hand at her to get blood in her eyes. Her hands fly to her face to clear her vision. Samael grabs her and power bombs her, keeping hold so that he can get her up and do it again and again in a signature move called Three Lives, Death Each Time.

Miguel gives up trying to work Hehehe over the ropes and picks him up to bodyslam him over the ropes, but that’s when he sees Tetsuo Oni being dropped for the third time in a power bomb. He bodyslams Hehehe in the ring and rushes to her aid. He slams his shoulder into Samael, who is knocked against the corner, where he slides down into a seated position. Miguel checks on the downed Tetsuo while unnoticed, Samael rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope. 

Ben Price – Can he do that?

Eddie Vega – As it happens…yes. 

Hehehe wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he gets up and looks across the ring, where he sees Miguel helping Tetsuo stand up. He begins walking across the ring when he hears the countdown begin again on the ConquestTron. 

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Brutal Mike Brandon!

“Dirty Deeds” by AC/DC begins playing as Mike Brandon walks out from the back. He runs for the ring and slides under the ropes, thinking he could speedbag Hehehe in the face. 

The clown absorbs the punishment with a wide grin and grabs Mike, whipping him into Miguel and Tetsuo. Tetsuo grabs Mike for a hip toss and neatly sends him from the ring. 

Ben Price – That was quick.

Eddie Vega – That is an understatement.

Eric Wilson – Brutal Mike Brandon has been eliminated!

Ben Price – And I thought his name was Mick?

Eddie Vega – I don’t think they cared enough to call him by his correct name. 

Hehehe begins walking toward Miguel and Tetsuo, intending on fighting them both, when Samael jumps up onto the ring apron and grabs Tetsuo Oni from behind. He drags her over the top rope and throws her to the floor!

Eric Wilson – Tetsuo Oni IV has been eliminated!

Miguel turns around to see Samael on the floor and not eliminated. He reaches for him, but Hehehe puts a shoulder to his back, knocking him down, but not out. Samael slips back into the ring. Hehehe gets in front of him, and Drago pulls both his hands back as if he is about to perform a Hadouken, then releases the pressure into a Pankration-style powerful front heel kick to the stomach in a move called the Gastrizein. Hehehe doubles over and begins retching, but nothing comes out. Miguel drops a leg across the back of Hehehe’s neck to send him face-first to the mat! 

Miguel gets back to his feet, but Samael hits a spinning wheel kick to knock him to the turnbuckles. Samael runs at him, hitting a leaping avalanche in the corner! Samael then backs away from the corner, but is grabbed from behind into an inverse ddt by Hehehe! 

Ben Price – That’s the trouble with it being down to a three-way dance. Not enough eyes to watch your back.

Eddie Vega – Yeah, except it was Miguel who had someone looking out for him. Samael has been alone this whole time. 

Ben Price – At some point, if Samael can last long enough, he will have friends with him.

Eddie Vega – If he lasts long enough. 

Hehehe leers at Miguel, who is still in the corner. He comes rushing at Miguel, an avalanche on the mind when Miguel pulls up his legs while holding onto the top rope. Hehehe slams face-first into the feet and backs up a few steps while seeming dazed. Miguel comes out of the corner and grabs Hehehe by the back of the head and goes to the mat to slam the clown’s face into the mat. 

Miguel turns around to find Samael to catch a shotgun dropkick to the face that sends him backwards, tripping over the fallen form of Hehehe. Samael stops and kicks Hehehe in the side of the head, sending dark blood splattering across the mat. He walks over to the downed Miguel and pulls him up with some difficulty. He begins walking Miguel over to the ropes, but Miguel drops to his knees and strikes back with an elbow to Samael’s midsection to get him to double over. When Samael’s head is within reach, Miguel grabs him by the head so he can smash him face-first into the mat! The ConquestTron lights up with the next countdown, the fans chanting along until the buzzer.

Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 215 pounds…he is Mysterion!

The houselights lower and a spotlight falls on the stage, highlighting the entrance from the back. Everything slowly falls silent until an electronically distorted voice sounds over the PA;

“WHO… IS… MYSTERION?!”

“Basket Case” by Offspring kicks off at a deafening volume and strobe lights suddenly start flashing crazily, as though controlled by a kid with ADHD on a sugar rush. Fireworks tear off into the rafters, flooding the empty upper stadium in light. The excitement levels of the crowd grows.. Surely an entrance such as this alludes a someone.. a BIG someone! Suddenly that distorted voice sounds again as it once more asks;

“WHO… IS… MYSTERION?!”

A spray of sparks erupt either side of the stage and a man burst’s through onto the stage, the voice sticks to a loop, repeating the words;

“HE… IS… MYSTERION… HE… IS… MYSTERION… HE… IS… MYSTERION…”

The spotlight refocuses on the animated, excited wrestler to reveal…

A basic masked wrestler?

Ben Price – What’s this? Generic form Mysterion?

Eddie Vega – Sure look like it. 

Mysterion makes his way down to the ring, slapping extended hands of excited fans on the way. He looks across the ring to see himself being charged by Miguel. Mysterion panics and puts up his arms in a cross pattern to block the shoulder charge that takes him down to the mat anyway. 

Hehehe stands up, watching as Samael Drago rolls out of the ring. He leans in the corner for a moment while watching Miguel Lanza Jr pull Mysterion up. He whips the masked man into the ropes and follows him. Mysterion thinks he’s doing great by putting on the brakes at the ropes. He seems proud of himself until he sees Miguel charging him and hitting a clothesline that takes him over the ropes and to the floor!

Eric Wilson – Mysterion has been eliminated!

Ben Price – I would have thought that Mysterion would have lasted longer.

Eddie Vega – Yeah, that was the going thought, buut no. He didn’t.

Hehehe walks over and puts an elbow strike to the small of Miguel’s back. Miguel spins around and is caught up in a powerslam to the mat. Hehehe stands up and gives his ghastly, wet giggle as he puts the boot to Miguel to keep him down. Hehehe then goes to the ropes on the opposite side and begins to come back when he trips to the mat. Samael Drago, on the outside, having reached in and grabbed his ankle. 

Miguel Lanza Jr gets up and sees Samael Drago on the outside and motions for him to get his butt back in the ring. Hehehe stands back up and looks to the outside of the ring where Samael and also motions for him to come back in. 

Ben Price – Is this going to be a standoff now? Those in the ring wanting the guy from the outside of the ring to come back in?

Eddie Vega – Seems to be that way. 

The standoff goes on for a few seconds before Hehehe moves suddenly and elbows Miguel in the mouth. Miguel strikes back with a headbutt and a fresh inverted atomic drop on Hehehe. The clown goes cross-eyed for a moment while Miguel grabs him up into a power bomb position. He turns toward the ropes and seems ready to throw Hehehe out of the ring when Samael connects with a spear through the ropes on his way back into the ring! Hehehe is dropped to the side as Miguel is taken down to the mat and Samael begins laying into him with hard right hands. Hehehe gets up and yanks Samael off of Miguel and headbutts him in the back of the head and tosses him to the side before leaping onto Miguel with a splash!

Ben Price – Damn! A splash from the clown has ta hurt!

Eddie Vega – Yeah, it would. 

Hehehe gets up and sees that Samael is working his way up. Hehehe grabs him and throws him from the ring and turns away. However, Samael catches the top rope and skins the cat, getting back into the ring unnoticed. Hehehe pulls Miguel up and runs to the ropes with him with the intent to throw him from the ring, but Miguel catches the clown in the side of the head with an elbow and shoves him into the ropes while putting on the brakes. As Hehehe comes back from the ropes, Miguel hits a big boot to the face, knocking the clown to the mat. 

Miguel seems satisfied with himself when he is taken down with a side headlock that Samael turns into a rear-naked chokehold! He keeps the pressure on, but then realizes that he’s not going to be able to eliminate an unconscious Miguel and breaks the hold. He steps back, but Hehehe hits a low blow from behind. Samael’s eyes bulge from his head before he falls over to the side, curling up into a fetal position. Hehehe gets up, but then looks over at the ConquestTron as the countdown begins once again.

Eric Wilson – Next to enter the ring at this time, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Gabriel Tuck! 

Gabriel Tuck walks out from the back, howling to the crowd. When he gets boos in return, he looks miffed. He heads down to the ring, ignoring the fans and taking off his leather jacket on the way to drop onto the floor before sliding into the ring. He and Hehehe lock gazes before they nod to each other and take choices. Hehehe stomps on the downed Miguel while Gabriel pulls up Samael and begins hammering him with hard right hands. 

Gabriel whips Samael to the ropes and follows with a leap, intending on getting a superman punch in, but gets caught and hotshotted onto the ropes! Hehehe gets his foot caught by Miguel, who strikes a mighty blow to the inside of the other knee that has the clown’s weight to bring him down. 

Gabriel starts to stand up, but gets knocked back down by Samael, who uses both fists to hammer the biker’s shoulders over and over to keep him down. Gabriel fights through the pain to leap up into an uppercut that knocks Samael flat onto his back. Hehehe starts to get back up when he’s grabbed by Miguel for a belly-to-belly suplex!

Ben Price – The nKo with the numbers game right now.

Eddie Vega – That can quickly change in less than two minutes. 

Gabriel stands over the downed Samael with a grin.

Gabriel Tuck – You’ve lasted a good while in the ring, but it’s about high time you left. 

Gabriel pulls Samael up into a press slam position and begins walking toward the ropes, but Samael slides behind him and waits for Gabriel to turn around before hitting him with a short arm to a knee to the face that he calls Philoso-Knee! 

Hehehe starts to get back up again when Miguel punt kicks him in the face to keep him down. He follows this up with another kick, this time to the ribcage. Miguel then grabs Samael from behind to spin him around and get him up into a vertical suplex position that he holds for a bit before dropping him down into a brainbuster! 

Gabriel Tuck gets back up, but is run back down by Miguel Lanza Jr with a running knee. Hehehe tries to get up, but running knee from Miguel takes him back down too. Samael looks like he might try to get up, but stays dow. He tries to slide to the edge of the ring, but Miguel gets inbetween him and the ring ropes. He delivers several sharp kicks to the ribs to make sure that he knows not to leave again. 

Ben Price – Miguel keeping everyone knocked down while he considers his next step.

Eddie Vega – It’s like a big game of Whack a Mole!

Ben Price – I suppose it could be looked at that like that.

Eddie Vega – I wonder who will be coming down to the ring yet. Is it almost time?

Ben Price – Well, what Miguel is doing is eating up time so yes,

Eddie Vega – Then I hpe someone comes out to change up what’s going on in the ring now.

Miguel keeps all three wrestlers down until he sees the ConquestTron light up with the countdown. 

Eric Wilson – The next to come down ot the ring, weighing in at 300 pounds, he is “the Hound of Hades” Viktor Kriegson!

A string introduction of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Afterlife” plays as a singular spotlight finds its way to the entrance ramp, bringing a tall, imposing figure into view. Flames of anger flicker in his eyes as he looks around the crowd from the stage, his fists clenching and unclenching as they do.

The heavily distorted guitars of his theme kick in, joined by perfectly timed columns of fire exploding on each side of Viktor. He prowls down the ramp and towards his hunting grounds, brow furrowing with a rage-filled focus, each step perfectly in time with the music.

Moving up the ring steps and onto the apron, his hand grasps onto the top rope, a deep scowl crossing his face as his eyes look over the crowd once more. Wiping his boots on the floor, Viktor enters the ring through the top and middle ropes, where he is met by Miguel Lanza Jr with a hard right hand. Viktor grabs Miguel and pulls him into a short-arm clothesline to take him down. He walks over and helps Samael up and watches as the others get up. 

Viktor Kriegson – Take it easy, Sam. 

Gabriel Tuck gets up and goes after Samael, but Viktor seizes him by the arm and pulls him into a short-arm headbutt. Gabriel backs up a few steps, stunned, and a big boot to the chest puts him back down to the mat. Hehehe and Miguel Lanza Jr get up and Hehehe looks to lock up with Miguel when Miguel motions to the Anwnn standing tall. Hehehe looks over to see Viktor and Samael. He nods at Miguel and the two begin to advance on the team. 

Viktor steps in front of Samael and begins exchanging punches with both Miguel and Hehehe. He quickly punches Hehehe in the throat, dropping him like a sack of potatoes and grabbing Miguel for a spinning spinebuster. Once on the mat, Samael begins putting the boot to Miguel while Gabriel Tuck gets up. He spins Viktor around and attacks him with a quick heart punch, but it fails to have much of an effect on the bigger man. Viktor seizes Gabriel by the throat and throws him into the corner. He follows with a series of thunderous corner clotheslines, finishing with a devastating big boot to the face! 

Hehehe gets up and charges Viktor, who had just dealt with Gabriel Tuck. He puts a shoulder into the small of Viktor’s back, bending him backwards a little. Tuck brings himself to a seated position onto the turnbuckles and uses the second turnbuckle to launch himself into a palm thrust/uppercut into Viktor’s chin while he’s distracted to send him to the mat!

Ben Price – And now we see the value of teamwork.

Eddie Vega – We just watched a tag team tournament the other day, we know the value of teamwork.

Samael walks up behind Hehehe and kicks him low enough to kick him in the balls. Hehehe’s eyes bulge from his head from the assault.

Hehehe – Not again. 

He keels over onto his side so that he can curl up into a fetal position. Gabriel leaps at Samael, going for a superman punch, but Samael sidesteps and brings up a knee into Gabriel’s midsection to knock him back into the corner! Viktor gets up and intercepts Miguel, nailing a snap power bomb!

The ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again with everyone wondering who will come down to the ring next. Hehehe sits up with his ghastly giggle as he announces.

Hehehe – My brother is coming next.

Ben Price – Is he right?

Eddie Vega – He doesn’t know…unless he’s seen the list.

Ben Price – He would remember the list? Or sense his brother?

Eddie Vega – That, I don’t know. 

Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is Fiona O’Connell! 

Hehehe looks sad as he realizes who is coming down to the ring.

Hehehe – Not my brother…

As ‘Blood’ by Dropkick Murphys plays over the PA, Fiona comes out from the back very much like a boxer, jogging in place, hopping from one foot to the other. She is clearly singing along with her entrance song, but no mics pick up her voice, and she lets loose a lightning-fast flurry of punches before holding up her right hand into the air. Her Mother, Tera, stands behind her, and Fiona makes her way to the ring slowly, stopping to shake hands with fans, and as the fans cheer, she seems to feed off their energy and then, finally, makes her way to the ring, where she climbs in and begins to throw a combination of punches upon Samael and Viktor, backing them up so that she can check on Miguel. 

The Anwnn move to attack the Upstarts, but the nKo strike first. Hehehe brings Viktor down with a German suplex while Gabriel takes Samael down with a reverse neckbreaker! Hehehe and Gabriel get back up, only to be assaulted by the Upstarts! Miguel grabs Hehehe and puts him down with a side suplex while Fiona attacks Gabriel with a few punches, quickly outpacing the brawler with her boxing skills. 

Viktor is up first, drilling Miguel in the side of the head with a hard right hand to stun him and then puts both Gabriel and Fiona down with a double clothesline. Samael gets up and kicks a rising Hehehe in the temple to knock him back down. 

Miguel nails Viktor with an uppercut to stun him and whips him into the ropes while kicking Samael in the side to get him to stop putting the boot to Fiona and Gabriel. However, Viktor comes back with a clothesline to the back of Miguel’s neck to send him to the mat. Hehehe gets up and pushes Samael to the ropes.

Hehehe – I’m tired of dealing with you! 

Hehehe pulls Samael down a little and clamps down with his teeth into Samael’s left shoulder, drawing a scream of pain from Samael. 

Ben Price – I guess Hehehe got hungry?

Eddie Vega – And with the referees outside of the ring to make sure that the eliminations are fair, there’s no one to break this up!

Gabriel gets up and passes a hand to Fiona, who looks confused, but accepts the hand up. They are confronted by Viktor Kriegson, who begins exchanging punches with both of them. He holds his own against the pair until Miguel spins him around and hits a midsection punch that doubles Viktor over so that Miguel can grab him by the back of the head and slam his face into the mat! 

Samael Drago hits a few punches to the side of Hehehe’s face to get him to release the bite. Hehehe backs away, wiping fresh blood with the back of his hand. Samael notes the bleeding bite wound and growls before rushing at Hehehe and hitting a shining wizard that takes the clown down to the mat!

Ben Price – Hehehe trying to eat Samael Drago whole?

Eddie Vega – Sure looked that way.

Miguel Lanza Jr clotheslines Gabriel Tuck before putting the boot to Viktor to keep him down on the mat. Fiona stands over Gabriel and, for a moment, it seems like she’s going to press her attack, but then she puts out a hand and helps Gabriel up to his feet. 

Ben Price – Why are they helping one another? They are enemies?

Eddie Vega – I have no idea. I would have kicked him in the face.

Samael Drago grabs Miguel Lanza Jr and whips him into the corner. Samael gets between Migiel and the corner so that he can get up onto the turnbuckles so he can apply a sleeper hold! Viktor Kriegson gets up, grabs Gabrel by the back of the neck, and runs him to the ropes so that he can throw him over the ring ropes. However, Gabriel lands on the announce table for the French announce team that is close to the South side of the ring. He lies where he lands, though, obviously in pain, but not eliminated yet. Viktor then grabs for Fiona, but gets a few boxing jabs for his efforts. 

Miguel walks away from the corner so that Samael has to wrap his legs around Miguel to keep the sleeper hold on. Miguel throws himself backward into the corner, sandwiching Samael between him and the corner to get Samael to break the sleeper. Miguel spins around as Samael slides into a seated position and begins kicking him in the chest. 

Viktor exchanges a few punches with Fiona, but it becomes pretty clear that Viktor hits harder than the small Fiona. A solid right punch to the eye socket stuns Fiona and Viktor throws her from the ring! However, Gabriel chooses this time to leap back into the ring, catching Fiona, and sending them both through the ropes and back into the ring. The crowd is stunned for a second before they begin to cheer loudly.

Ben Price – What the heck? He saved his enemy?

Eddie Vega – I have no idea to be perfectly honest.

It’s about then that the countdown begins on the ConquestTron. Hehehe gets up and sees that Gabriel is down by Fiona. He looks around to see Victor and attacks him with lefts and rights, with Viktor fighting right back. Samael shoves the clown from behind into a clothesline from Viktor, who then kicks Miguel in the ribcage to keep him down. 

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring…the Peak of Freak! 

The first whispered lines of the song “Stitch” by Wage War plays and the initial breakdown is followed by The Peak of Freak walking out from behind a black curtain. Walking to the center area of the ramp with a stone solid expression as he slowly turns his head to leer at both sides of the crowd. Then, as Peak raises his arms, black and red pyro goes off on both sides of the ramp, descending towards his position. Smoke rises into the air and when it dissipates, Peak charges the ring and jumps up onto the apron. Pushing down the top rope to climb over it and run directly into the action by fighting with Samael and Viktor both. 

Gabriel Tuck and Fiona O’Connell get up and pick their targets. Gabriel helps Peak attack Viktor while Fiona does a quick headscissors takedown on Samael. Miguel and Hehehe get up. Hehehe grabs Viktor from behind and gets him up into an Argentine backbreaker while Miguel goes straight for the Peak of Freak and attacks him. Gabriel backs away from the confrontation, backing into Fiona. He turns to attack her, but then stops when he sees who it is. Fiona goes on the attack, which presses Gabriel into defending himself.

Fiona O’Connell – Why are you being weird? We’re enemies!

Gabriel Tuck – We are in rival camps, but we don’t have to be enemies.

Samael spins Fiona around and gets her to the mat with a fisherman’s suplex. Gabriel kicks him full in the face, though, breaking open fresh scabs on Samael’s face and sending blood flying across the mat.

Hehehe drops to his side, dropping Viktor onto his head. The Peak of Freak drops the tired Miguel to his knees with a hard right hand and then boots him in the face to send him the rest of the way to the mat. Gabriel leans down to grab Samael and is punched in the throat for his efforts. Gabriel drops down and clutches at his throat while Fiona gets up and hits Samael with a back stabber! 

The countdown flashes on the ConquestTron again. 

Ben Price – It’s already time?

Eddie Vega – Time flies when you’re having fun. 

Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 120 pounds…she is Christina Papadopoulos!

“I’m Gonna Show You Crazy” by Bebe Rexha begins playing through the arena.

There’s a war inside my head

Sometimes I wish that I was dead, I’m broken

So I call this therapist

And she said girl you can’t be fixed just take this

I’m tired of tryin’ to be normal

I’m always overthinking

I’m driving myself crazy

So what if I’m fucking crazy

Christina Papadopoulos appears on the Entrance Ramp with her Arms behind her back nonchalantly with a Smirk. 

However, Trelisa Perrault comes out right behind her. She watches as Christina begins walking down the aisle toward the ring and Trelisa blows a kiss to the crowd before running up behind her and leaping through the air to his a running knee strike to the small of Christina’s back, sending her face-first into the security railing. She falls to the floor and Trelisa Perrault saunters down to the ring while walking Christina with her. She rolls Christina into the ring, follows, and then throws the semi-conscious Christina out of the ring and to the floor!

Ben Price – Can she do that?

Eddie Vega – Looks like she just did. 

Eric Wilson – Trelisa was next on the list to come out, so…she’s early. Um, weighing in at 160 pounds…Trelisa Perrault! Also, Christina Papadopoulos has been eliminated!

Trelisa ignores everyone in the ring, crossing it in second. She grabs Fiona by the hair from behind and turns her around so she can hit a twisting neckbreaker! Gabriel looks on in shock before being caught up by Viktor and nailed with an exploder suplex! Peak pulls Miguel up and lifts him up into the air in a choke slam position and begins to walk toward the ropes. Hehehe gets up, but is sent face-first into the corner with a drop toe hold by Samael!

The ConquestTron lights up, but not with a countdown. An entrance video plays as Steve Murdock walks out from the back, but this time dressed up as “the Last Outlaw” theme and gear. He quietly heads down to the ring while the crowd look at him in stunned silence.

Ben Price – Does he think that changing gimmicks means that he can re-enter the ring as a new person?

Eddie Vega – Sure looks like it does, and officials are letting him into the ring!

Steve Murdock runs across the ring and puts the shoulder into the back of the Pak of Freak, but Peak still manages to dump Miguel Lanzza Jr out of the ring before staggering to one knee. Steve nails Peak with a series of hard rights, but Peak throws out both fists to connect with Steve’s midsection to double him over. Peak then grabs the back of Steve’s head and brings his face down to mash against Peak’s knee!

Eric Wilson – Miguel Lanza Jr has been eliminated! 

Viktor Kriegson stomps on Gabriel Tuck and then kicks him in the ribs. He starts to lean down to grab at Tuck when Trelisa roundhouse kicks him in the small of the back in a move that drops Viktor to his knees. This allows Trelisa to walk around and hit Viktor in the chin with a superkick and drop him to the mat!

She reaches to help Gabriel up when Fiona takes her down with a dropkick! Hehehe grabs her before she can mount the fallen Trelisa and rain down punches and hurls her across the ring. Samael catches the pinballing Fiona and sends her into a corner. He then helps Viktor up, but then turns into a Wolf Strike (superman punch) by Gabriel Tuck! He doesn’t stay on his feet long as a backhand by Viktor sends him crashing to the mat! Hehehe throws a shoulder into the small of Viktor’s back, running him to the ropes. Trelisa adds to this with a dropkick to the back of Viktor’s head, sending him over the ropes! However, Hehehe is taken with. Trelisa Perrault looks on, upset at having helped eliminate a teammate. Samael grabs her from behind in an attempt to hit the Eternal Fall, but Gabriel Tuck nails a headbutt from behind and throws Samael down to the mat. 

Ben Price – Trelisa and Gabriel still working together pretty well.

Eddie Vega – You would think so since they are tag team champions.

Eric Wilson – Viktor Kriegson and Hehehe have been eliminated! 

Fiona O’Connell gets up and looks around before attacking Trelisa Perrault, hitting a boxing combo that backs her into a corner. Gabriel looks to help Trelisa, but a full nelson suplex from Samael puts him to the mat. Steve Murdock and Peak of Freak exchange punches, but the Last Outlaw holds his ground against the larger monster. At least he does until Peak throws him to the ropes and on the rebound, hits a back drop that sends Steve right out of the ring!

Eric Wilson – Steve Murdock has been eliminated…again!

Samael sits up and sees the lay of the land with three members of the nKo in the ring at once. He rolls silently out of the ring, but is not unseen in his motion. Gabriel gets Peak’s attention and jerks his thumb at where Samael fled.

Gabriel Tuck – Get him, we got Fiona. 

The Peak of Freak looks like he might want to say something, but rolls out of the ring and begins following Samael around the ring like a Jason Voorhees chasing a victim. 

Ben Price – What now? Is Gabriel still trying to woo Fiona into the nKo?

Eddie Vega – Sure seems so, but Trelisa isn’t having it. 

Gabriel Tuck – Fiona! We don’t have to fight! We could be companions. Leave the Upstarts that only fuel Abigail’s fire and join us!

Fiona takes a moment to look at Gabriel, but that’s when Trelisa grabs her by both shoulders and delivers a vicious headbutt! 

Trelisa Perrault – Ouvre les yeux! She chose them, Gabriel. She is a lost cause!

Outside of the ring, Samael Drago stops to confront the Peak of Freak, hitting him full in the face with a fireball! He then whips the blinded Peak face-first into the ring steps to demolish them. He rolls back into the ring. 

Ben Price – Regular Young and the Restless episode going on in the ring right now.

Eddie Vega – You sure it isn’t Trelisa being jealous?

Inside the ring, Fiona staggers backward from the headbutt. Gabriel grabs her and looks to throw her out of the ring when Samael clotheslines him to the mat and kicks Trelisa in the gut before delivering a Tiger suplex! He helps Fiona up and smirks.

Samael Drago – Don’t get it twisted. You’re the only non-nKo person out here with me.

The countdown comes back on the ConquestTron as the Peak of Freak rolls back into the ring. 

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 115 pounds…Vespertine!

The lights in the arena go out, over the loudspeakers we hear buddist monks chant and the slow gong of a funeral bell. This goes on for a minute before we hear her voice..

“I see you

I see your soul

And it… is…. mine!”

As the buddhist chant and the gong die down, “The Mad Queen” comes up and purple and black lights come up. From under the stage doing a gangrel type entrance is Vespertine. On the Tron we see pics of her wrestling. She is facing backwards and when the lift stops, she turns around and steps off to the entrance ramp, still looking down, arms crossed in front of her.

As the song builds, she looks up and we see her eyes are completely white and orbless. She then raises her fist into the air and two lighting strikes come from different areas of the arena and strike on each side of her. She saunters in time to the music, getting halfway down to the ring before she takes off her trenchcoat and runs down to the ring to slide in and join the fight. She nails the rising Gabriel in the side of the head with a hard right hand, sends Trelisa back into the corner with a spinning heel kick, hits the Peak of Freak with a throat thrust, and finally takes Fiona down with a series of Muay Thai punches.

Ben Price – Vespertine a ball of energy in the ring!

Eddie Vega – Samael finally has an ally in the ring again.

Gabriel gets up, but Samael is on him quickly. Whipping him into the ropes and hitting a backdrop on the rebound, not quite sending Gabriel out of the ring, but close. Trelisa is out of the corner and begins exchanging punches with Vespertine. The Peak of Freak grabs Fiona by the throat and lifts her up into the air before chokeslamming her to the mat. 

Gabriel starts to get back up when Samael kicks him in the face to keep him on the mat. Vespertine backs up a step, dodging a punch, and hitting a spinning heel kick to stun Trelisa before hitting a snapmare driver! The Peak of Freak walks over Fiona’s back, putting all of his weight onto her spine for a moment. 

Ben Price – Peak really putting the hurt to Fiona.

Eddie Vega – I guess either Gabriel has given up trying to recruit her or he’s just too busy with Samael. 

The Peak of Freak walks away from the downed Fiona and clotheslines Vespertine to the mat before moving on to seize Samael and deliver two powerful headbutts before releasing himi so he can fall to the mat. He helps Gabriel and Trelisa up.

Peak of Freak – Come on now. Don’t be such lightweights. 

Fiona O’Connell gets to her feet and starts walking toward the Peak of Freak, determination on her mind, when Vespertine steps in the way. Fiona throws an uppercut that Vespertine sidesteps and brings a knee up into Fiona’s midsection. A quick gutwrench suplex puts Fiona onto the mat so that Vepertine can hit a cartwheel bomb! Vespertine turns around, satisfied with herself, when Trelisa hits an Akido Hip throw, tossing her across the ring. Gabriel and Peak stomp on the downed Samael. 

Trelisa has her sights on Vespertine when Fiona taps her on the shoulder. Trelisa spins around to take a knee to the gut and a double arm ddt! Fiona stands up. 

Fiona O’Connell – Take that, you crazy bitch!

Gabriel pulls Samael up to his feet and kicks him in the gut so that Peak can smash him back down to the mat with forearm smashes to the back. Peak then flexes with an arm, lifting it higher and higher until he drops an elbow to the back of Samael’s neck and rolls over to do some push ups! Fiona runs over to Gabriel and drops him with pele kick! 

The countdown begins again on the ConquestTron, the fans counting along with it until the buzzer!

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to rin, weighing in at 265 pounds…he is Gabriel Blight!

The sounds of “Releasing the Demons” fill the arena. Gabriel appears from backstage and paces toward the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and begins brawling with the Peak of Freak. He quickly shifts gears to kicking Peak in the gut and hitting a gutwrench suplex! 

Fiona eyes Blight and does a double stomp to Tuck’s chest! Fiona pulls Trelisa up, but Vespertine takes them both down with a double clothesline! Peak starts to get up, but Blight grabs him and puts him back down with a pumphandle slam! Samael rolls out of the ring unseen by those in the ring. 

Ben Price – That shouldn’t be legal.

Eddie Vega – But it is and only Samael is taking advantage of it. 

Fiona gets up, but Vespertine punches her in the gut, then the throat, and finally a heart punch in a combo that she calls the Triple Threat. Trelisa starts to rise as Fiona falls and Vespertine goes to grab her and pull her up, but Trelisa pulls her down into a jawbreaker! Vespertine bounces and hits the mat! Peak starts to rise, but Blight grabs him again. Peak grabs Blight by the legs and pulls them out from underneath him to get him onto his back. Peak stands up, holding Blight’s ankles. He looks out to the crowd before stomping Blight right where it counts! Tuck gets up and looks down at Fiona. He goes to the ropes and comes back with a superman punch, but Fiona intercepts him with a mid-air spear that sends them both down to the mat. 

Everyone starts to get up and a big brawl breaks out as each wrestler is trying to get dominion over someone else in the ring, Tuck and Vespertine, Fiona and Trelisa, and Peak and Blight are all brawling when Samael sets up a ladder outside of the ring and begins to climb it. 

Ben Price – What’s he doing?

Eddie Vega – Looks like he’s going to get back into the ring?

Ben Price – Yeah ,but that way?

Eddie Vega – Sure looks like it. 

Vespertine catches sight of Samael on top of the ladder and drops as Samael leaps off of the ladder to take everyone that’s standing in the ring down! The crowd goes wild at the stunt if not for the man who did it. 

Just in time for the countdown to begin again at the ConquestTron. 

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 160 pounds, he is Agent Orange!

“Agent Orange” by Sodom begins playing as Agent Orange runs out from the back. He takes a look at the chaos going on in the ring and makes a beeline for the ring, sliding in under the ropes and picking a fight with the first person to stand up, which is Vespertine. She backs away from his awkward swings and nails him with a drop kick. Agent Orange gets right back up and Vespertine whips him into the ropes, following him closely so that when he impacts the ropes, she hits a drop kick that sends him over the ropes. 

Ben Price – In and out again. 

Eddie Vega – That’s why you don’t charge the ring. 

Eric Wilson – Agent Orange has been eliminated!

Samael Drago gets up next, followed by Gabriel Tuck. Samael gets to him first and whips him toward the ropes with the intention of repeating Vespertine’s most recent stunt, but Trelisa rises and tackles Samael to the mat, laying into him with hard rights. Blight and Peak get up and begin brawling, each landing heavy blows on the other until both men are staggering. Fiona gets up and drags Trelisa off of Samael and takes her down with a swinging neckbreaker! 

Fiona doesn’t get to take a moment as Vespertine kicks her in the midsection as she is getting up to knock her back down, leaps onto the middle rope, and lands on Fiona’s knees when she goes for the lionsault! Fiona dumps Vespertine to the side and gets back to her feet. 

Blight spins Peak around an hits a half-nelson suplex. He stands up real quick and drops a knee to the Peak’s chest! Tuck walks over to where Trelisa is beating on Samael and has her get up. He measures his blow and kicks Samael in the side of the face that is wounded, reopening the wounds and sending blood and spittle flying across the mat. He picks Samael up into a press slam position and begins walking toward the ropes. 

Fiona sees this and moves to intercept. Trelisa gets in the way, but a hard right hand knocks her flat so that she can dropkick the back of Tuck’s knees to get him to fall down. Samael looks up at Fiona standing over him with a hand extended.

Fiona O’Connell – Don’t get it twisted, we need numbers against the nKo. 

Samael accepts the help and shoves Fiona to the ropes as Trelisa comes charging with a knee strike that connects with Samael in the midsection! Peak rolls away from Blight and gets to his feet, but Blight is on him with hammering blows and begins working to get the big man over the ropes. Vespertine runs over to help dump Peak. 

“The Final Countdown” by Europe begins playing as Steve Murdock walks out from the back in his Olympic gear and he starts heading down to the ring. 

Eric Wilson – And now coming down to the ring…”the Last Stop” Steve Murdock! I have been informed to let Steve know that if he becomes eliminated again and tries to come down a fourth tie that he will be fired…

Steve Murdock runs down to the ring, jumps up to the ring apron and headbutts the Peak of Freak! He pulls down the top rope so that Blight and Vespertine can eliminate him! Steve Murdock rolls into the ring and bodyslams Blight and then does the same to Vespertine. 

Ben Price – Wow that was a blow to the nKo!

Eddie Vega – I’m surprised that they got him over the ropes, but not surprised that it took three of them. 

Eric Wilson – the Peak of Freak has been eliminated! 

The real countdown begins again on the ConquestTron.

Eric Wilson – And next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 328 pounds…he is Hahaha!

“Sweet Dreams” by the Aviators begins playing as Hehehe walks out from the back while juggling the severed heads of cats. He sees that the people are booing him and so he drops the cat heads and makes his way down to the ring while looking somewhat wounded at the booing. He rolls into the ring and grabs Fiona with a bear hug.

Ben Price – The nKo just shored up their number game!

Eddie Vega – Send in the clowns…

Gabriel Tuck gets up and looks at the downed Samael a moment before moving on to a different target. He spins Steve Murdock around and punches him in the mouth. Steve responds with a series of European uppercuts instead of punches, grabbing a stunned Tuck and hitting a side slam! Trelisa watches as Vespertine gets up and runs over to her, hitting her in the midsection with a knee strike! Blight gets up and grabs Trelisa by the back of the head and runs with her into the corner where he begins smashing her face into the top turnbuckle. He gets to ten before he releases her and steps back. Trelisa takes a wild swing at Blight, but falls onto her face. 

Hahaha begins swinging Fiona side to side with the bear hug before he releases her so that she falls to her knees. He then reaches for her, but Fiona recovers quickly, hitting a leaping uppercut that staggers Hahaha backward a few steps to run into Steve Murdock, who hits him with a Russian Legsweep. Samael Drago gets up to his feet and surveys the scene before he grabs Blight from behind to hit a belly to back slam. Tuck gets up and sees Fiona all alone. He walks over to her and holds out his hand. 

Gabriel Tuck – You can see how this match is going. There’s more of us and our foes are too splintered. Join us and let us show you what victory feels like. 

Fiona O’Connell – I ain’t going anywhere near you and your crazed friends.

Gabriel shakes his head, his open hand being gripped tight into a fist.

Gabriel Tuck – You had your chance. Live with the results. 

Gabriel advances as if he was going to punch Fiona, but a running knee to the side from Trelisa takes her down instead. 

Trelisa Perrault – I have her. 

Tuck nods and turns, grabbing Blight as he gets up and punching him in the midsection a few times before bringing him down with a DDT! Steve Murdock grabs Vespertine into a bodyslam position, but walks over to the ropes to try to throw her out. Hahaha runs over and clotheslines Steve in the back of the neck, sending both him and Vespertine over the ropes!

Eric Wilson – Vespertine and Steve Murdock have been eliminated!

Tuck pulls Blight up to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Tuck goes to follow to try to hit a superman punch while Blight was on the ropes, but Blight grabs the ropes and slips to the side while Tuck misses and lands on the middle rope. Before Blight can take advantage of the situation, Trelisa comes running and hits a high cross body that takes them both out of the ring, but they both land on the ring apron instead of falling to the floor. Hahaha puts a shoulder to Fiona, who had just got up, to knock her back down and runs over to Samael who has also just gotten up. Hehehe grabs him up into a power bomb and hurls him across the ring instead of out. Hahaha is left scratching his head, wondering why he did that. 

Ben Price – D’oh! The body is willing, but the mind doesn’t know what to do. 

Eddie Vega – That is an understatement. 

Blight rolls back into the ring and sees Trelisa on the ring apron. He goes to kick her off the ring apron when Tuck hits the Wolf Strike (superman punch) against Blight, knocking him down. Fiona gets up and peppers the confused Hahaha with punches, bringing him back to the task at hand. Hahaha gives a ghastly giggle and hits an ear pop on Fiona, sending her to the mat. Trelisa rolls back into the ring where she is helped up by Tuck. Samael sits up and sees both Fiona and Blight down with the three nKo members standing tall. 

Samael Drago – Well? No one said this would be easy. 

He picks a fight with Tuck, slinging punches to Hahaha and Trelisa when he gets the chance, who back away to let Tuck handle things. However, Samael gets Tuck whipped to the ropes and hits a spinebuster on the rebound! Trelisa doesn’t let him up, hitting her running knee strike finisher to his face! Samael is sprawled out on the mat as if he had been shot and killed, leaking blood from his many wounds. Blight is up next, but Hahaha charges him. Blight evenly catches the clown, lifts him up into a press slam position, and uses the clown’s own momentum to throw him from the ring! 

Eric Wilson – Hahaha has been eliminated! 

Ben Price – Odds have shifted all of a sudden.

Eddie Vega – Depends on if they work together or not. 

The ConquestTron lights up with another countdown, the fans counting along with it.

Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 280 pounds…he is “the Hardcore Prophet” Jakie Wentzel! 

The screen cuts to static as the lights dim. The opening guitar riffs of “Domino the Destitute” play over the PA system. As the music builds, the screen displays picturesque scenery; farmland, tractors, quilts, friendly faces on porches. When the lead vocals come in the scene shatters into a blood red logo of Jakie Wentzel. As the music continues, flashes of Wentzel are shown intermeshed with horrific imagery. Torn blue jeans, a skull tattooed arm, burning crosses, maggots eating flesh, a pool of blood. The final shot shows Wentzel putting on a set of brass knuckles that pulls back to a full body shot. He smashes his fist into the screen, which goes black as the spotlights rise up on the entrance ramp.

“If you had the courage to stop me from turning into what would be the worst in everybody’s eyes.”

Jakie Wentzel enters down the ramp slowly in his trademark white v-neck tee shirt, black suspenders, torn blue jeans, and black steel toed boots. He is holding a leather-bound Bible. He does not acknowledge the screaming fans, and avoids eye contact.

“Hey, I’m no Angel, or the Devil of your conscience, to tell you what to be…good, bad, ugly or otherwise.”

As Wentzel makes his way to the ring, he stops at the commentary booth and referee. He then throws the Bible into the crowd and makes an obscene gesture to the person who gets the bible while muttering under his breath.

“If you had good common sense, your choices would be gleaming, flawless.

I want no part in this self-deprecating worthless chemistry.”

Entering the corner of the ring, he pumps his left fist in the air, displaying his glistening brass knuckles. He walks over to the man who eliminated the last clown, Gabriel Blight, and swings at him with the brass knuckles. Gabriel Blight shakes his head as he dodges and kicks Wentzel in the midsection before spinning him around for Fiona. She slips the brass knuckles off of his hand , slipping them on, and nailing Jakie in the side of the mouth to send blood and spittle spraying across the mat. She whips him to the ropes and hits him with a powerful right hand with the brass knuckles at the ropes to send him over the ropes and to the floor!

Eric Wilson – Jakie Wentzel has been eliminated! 

Ben Price – I feel like that was to be an ally to the nKo, but never realized.

Eddie Vega – Jakie would stand with the man who had Intercourse destroyed? 

Ben Price – Yes. I don’t know the whys or the hows, but yes. He would. 

Eddie Vega – That man is insane! 

Ben Price – So all he did was arm Fiona.

Eddie Vega – Not good for the nKo. 

Fiona and Trelisa get at it. Trelisa taking a few test swings at Fiona to try to keep her distance from the brass knuckles. Fiona realizes this with a smirk, she takes the brass knuckles off and throws them from the ring. Trelisa gets in close to strike Fiona, but gets caught off guard with a lightning fast hard right hand to the side of the head that takes her down to the mat. She strikes a elbow blindly behind her and catches Tuck in the side of the head, stunning him. 

Fiona looks over to see that Samael is still lying motionless on the mat and a running shoulder block from Blight takes her down. 

Trelisa gets back up and throws a few knife edge chops Blight’s way, but they have little effect on the big man. He reaches for her and she pulls him down into a jawbreaker! Tuck gets up and begins kicking Blight in the ribcage. Fiona sits up and crawls over to Samael to try to get him to stir. She shakes him, but it does no good. She looks over to see Tuck and Trelisa taking turns to kick Blight while he’s down. She turns her attention back to Samael, trying to wake him. 

The ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again.

Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 190 pounds, he is “the Airdevil” Madd Morales!

Fiona, who had looked hopeful for a moment, sinks further into despair as another nKo member is announced. 

The lights slam to black. A wall of static overtakes the titantron, scratched-up footage, old matches, street fights, riots, Morales’s face spliced between shots like a cursed broadcast. Then-

“BEGGIN’ ON HER KNEES TO BE POPULAR!”

The opening howl of “Evil Jordan” tears through the arena, and the crowd erupts in a chaos of hate and hunger. Crimson searchlights slice through the dark like sirens, strobing in violent rhythm as a thick red fog floods the stage. The speakers boom with sub-bass so deep you feel it in your spine. Then he appears No hood. No mask. Just scars and swagger. His trench is blood-black leather, open to reveal a bare chest inked with fresh scripture. His ripped punk jeans are patched with new scraps of pain and protest, but like always two remain. “AIR” on one thigh, “DEVIL” on the other, marking him the same old  war-worn prophet of violence. He doesn’t strut. He floats. Like sin in motion. Swagger and venom drip off him with every step. The camera gets close as he stares straight through it, eyes burning like coals under a cool exterior. The crowd roars, but he doesn’t acknowledge them. They’re not why he’s here.

At ringside, he stops, letting the music score the ritual. He sheds the coat like a serpent shedding skin. Flexes his taped fists. Cracks his neck. Then bends slowly… and kisses the mat before nodding like it’s an altar he’s about to bleed on. The beat stutters. The arena screams. He climbs the steps, pauses. Turns his back to the ring. Arms wide. Soaking in judgment. Mocking their gods. Becoming one. He stops outside of the ring and begins reaching under the ring, throwing weapons into the ring one at a time. Random stuff. Kendo sticks, a steel chair, brass knuckles, garbage can and lid, a strange glove, and several sheet pans. He then rolls into the ring.

Madd walks over to the downed Samael and shakes his head at Fiona with a mad grin.

Madd Morales – Time to let him go. Let me eliminate him…and you. It’ll hurt less. 

He reaches for Fiona, who leaps up into a leaping uppercut, but Madd Morales jumps back out of the way at the last second. He steps back in to grab Fiona and hit the Grunge-shot Combo (Alternating Knee Lifts into a back elbow into a jumping high knee). He drops Fiona to the mat and looks down at Samael, nudging him with a foot. 

Blight jumps up to his feet, throwing Tuck and Trelisa to the side. He grabs Tuck and whips him away toward the ropes and swings a clothesline at Trelisa, but she backs away. On the rebound, Blight neatly grabs Tuck up into a press slam position and drops him to the mat as Trelisa kicks him square in the balls. Blight falls to his knees, hands to his crotch. 

Madd Morales walks over to the downed Blight and puts a hand on his shoulder. 

Madd Morales – Watch a real leader eliminate someone. 

Madd pulls Blight to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Madd follows, intent on a dropkick, but Blight catches him by the ankles and swings, sending Madd clear out of the ring where he lands on th French announce table! 

Ben Price – Madd hasn’t been eliminated yet, his feet haven’t touched the floor!

Eddie Vega – Gabriel was just in this position not long ago and manages to jump back to the ring. Surely, the Airdevil can do it. 

Fiona O’Connell gets up and nudges Samael again, slapping him when he doesn’t budge. This wakes Samael up and he groggily sits up. 

Tuck picks up a baking sheet and wraps it around Blight’s face, forcing him to his knees as he tries to remove the metal pan. Trelisa hits a running knee strike to the baking pan (her Curtain Call finisher) and sends Blight to the mat.
