Vinegar: Our opening qualifier is one filled with the tones of professional rivalry!
Lieberjosch: Beginning with the captains themselves, the bad blood between Lucy Wylde and Sarah Selena Lacklan began with Lacklan's cash in of her Wrestlestock contract!
Vinegar: She could have simply challenged, but Lacklan is nothing if not someone who makes statements, and she did just that!
Lieberjosch: Lacklan wasn't successful, but that was only the first chapter in their heated rivalry!
Covert Jay: Don't forget the growing heat between Jet Somers and JC!
Vinegar: Indeed, since the beginning of the year, these two respected veterans in their own home fields have met twice, and there's not a drop of love lost between them.
Covert Jay: Plenty of blood though, and tonight might be the rubber match that settles that score once and for all!
Lieberjosch: If we're discussing rivalries, you can't leave out reminding everyone that Magdalena Lockheart is the woman Lacklan knocked off in the Wrestlestock Cup finals to begin with.
Covert Jay: You can't do better than to be the number one overall pick of the Outlast draft!
Lieberjosch: You can if you're the UGWC World Champion, and he'll be joining the number one pick on the team curiously named "Everyone Likes me Except Gabriel."
Vinegar: Having seen the way he reacted to be drafted, the name is appropro.
Lieberjosch: She put him at a disadvantage tonight, I don't blame him.
Vinegar: She chose people she thought she could trust, Hans. Baal could easily save himself and just not show up, or refuse to participate.
Lieberjosch: Maybe the most personal rivalry in this match, I don't think his enmity with Jet Somers will allow that to go over well. One way or another Somers will make sure he gets his hands on the World Champion tonight.
Vinegar: And speaking of rivalries, we can't forget the long standing feud "The Wild Card" has with the former head trainer Jason Ingalls!
Covert Jay: Rivals of the on again, off again variety, tonight they find themselves partners, an interesting dynamic considering Jet Somers dethroned Jason Ingalls as the Cooperative Champion last month at In Your Hands!
Lieberjosch: They'll have to both put those differences aside if either hopes to have a chance to advance and see "The Serpent" for the second time tonight.
The house lights go down to only the emergency lights, giving the arena a surreal, sepia look. As the opening licks of "Gone Sovereign" by Stone Sour begin, the remaining lights pulsate in rythmn with each chord. Corey Taylor begins to wail:
No one's laughing now, no one's laughing now
I'm sullen and sated and you can't put a price on me
I won't share this disarray, I won't pull these hands away
I need to be chosen and my God don't pray for me
As Jet Somers parts the curtain and steps out on the ramp. His hood is pulled up, and he surveys the crowd's mixed reaction from under it as the song continues. He walks to stage left and stands at the corner, Cooperative Championship around his waist.
So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead
And shatter every legend in my head
If only the committed will survive
Is anybody here still left alive?
There's a tense pause in the music, and Jet lowers his head, crossing his hands in front of him.
This is mine!
As soon as the singer screams those words, the music instantly cuts out, leaving Jet standing there waiting.
The arena lights pulse to the rhythm of Hugo's "99 Problems", the screen showing a bike on a lonely highway, the features of the rider obscured by a bandana and a helmet. The scene changes to a dark tunnel with a track visible, a bright light approaching swiftly as a train roars toward the screen, Jason Ingalls' name appearing on the screen, blackened and battered. Jason Ingalls steps out onto the stage and stops for a moment, looking around at the crowd, considering. The crowd's reaction to him is mostly positive, Jase giving a smile and wave to those cheering him. Jase makes his way down stage right and tucks his hands into his pockets as the music fades out.
The lights go out as a red spotlight flashes down on the entrance area. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata begins to play over the PA system and a body steps out onto the entrance ramp. Kenzi Grey, the sexiest valet in the history of all sporting events, is wearing a #TeamKickass^2 t-shirt and stands in the spotlight for a moment, but then moves out of the way and gestures for a figure in a hooded robe to take her place as the guitars hit. Kenzi pulls back the hood to the the bright white face and red eyes of the Red Queen. They stand t center stage together for a moment, then the entire team makes its way down the aisle with the red spotlight following them as the rest of the arena stays dark. When they come to the ring, the four slide underneath the ropes and upon standing, Kenzi and Sarah stands nose to nose. Kenzi helps Sarah remove her robe to show the black skin-tight bodysuit beneath with the figure of a large firebird in flight on the back. The four of them turn and face the entrance, awaiting the opposing team.
Vinegar: How does Team Kickass Squared find the path to the main event tonight, Jay?
Covert Jay: One word, Nick, Teamwork. They might be the most cohesive unit to enter the contest this evening, having spent the last several days together in Sarah's personal kingdom learning about one another and building strategy.
Lieberjosch: Of course, that means if there are any cracks in that unit, if anyone is being disingenuous, they're finished.
Lucy Wylde makes her way out to the stage, stopping at the top of the ramp and crossing her arms as he surveys the assembled team in the ring. She's wearing the Cross Hemisphere Championship over her shoulder, and she waits while the rest of her team arrives to back her up.
The lights go out in the arena for a few moments causing the crowd to murmur. People gather their cellphones and lighters just to see what's going on. The camera pans out on what appears to be fireflies out in the stands. In the pitch, a loud drum solo comes crashing over the Arena PA speakers. As the last cymbal crash falls eerily silent, bright red spotlights and strobes hit the stage along with dancing red laser lights, all marching along with the cadence of a heavily distorted bass guitar.
Someone sang your name today
and a stranger saw me crumble;
Haul my broken heart and shell away
beggin', bury me beside you...
Magdalena Lockheart walks out from the curtain and continues through the center of the stage to stand to her captain's right. They nod at one another.
But I want you
I need to
Forget you
Don't want to
But I need to let you
go
At the exact moment that the lead singer says "go", she places her hands on either side of the trenchcoat and rips it open to reveal her tight black leather ring attire underneath. At the same moment, a bright red spotlight becomes the only light in the entire arena as it shines straight down on her and the red glitter that now falls from the ceiling like rain. Magdalena bathes in the glitter a moment before pulling off her trenchcoat and the music comes to an end.
"The Man Without Fear" by Drowning Pool and Rob Zombie kicks in and blue pyro blasts from the sides of the stage and JC comes out wearing his trenchcoat, staring out at the audience. Lights start to flash in the arena as he makes his way to Lucy's left to the sounds of the chorus.
Suddenly you rule the universe
Everything was shapeless now clear
I visualize like a drop of sound
I am The Man Without Fear
You can't hurt me...NO!
You can't stop me...NO!
You can't beat me...NO!
You can't bring me DOWN!
JC eyes the competition in the ring and gives an expectant smile as his music fades out.
An uncomfortable amount of time goes by before the three of them begin to side-eye one another. Team Kickass Squared begin to chuckle and give each other victorious looks, as the crowd murmurs wondering what's going on.
Just when it seems like Team "Everyone Likes me but Gabriel" might live up to it's name and take a handicap...
Sympathy for the Devil by Gregorian hits and the lights drop. A single spotlight drops on the rampway – Gabriel Baal makes his slow entrance, a hood pulled over his head. The hood is attached to a full length jacket that is zipped from the neck to the waist. Gabriel pulls the zip of his jacket down to reveal the UGWC World Championship around his waist before he presses his hands together at the finger tips – he strides to stand in between JC and Lucy, as the rest of the team breathes a sigh of relief. He raises his pressed fingers in front of his covered head, before quickly pushing the hood back to reveal his grinning face. As one, the team walks slowly to the ring as Gabriel's music continues.
Vinegar: Hans, how do the members of Team "ELMEG" find their way to challenging for the World Championship?
Lieberjosch: Focus on the moment. There are too many combustible elements that can tear this team apart.
Vinegar: Other than Gabriel Baal being on the team himself?
Lieberjosch: I know Wylde has given Lockheart endorsement after endorsement, but at what point does she see the young talent as a threat for the top prize and stop watching her back?
Covert Jay: I'm not so sure JC is here for the championship, which means he's here to get Lucy there. What's to stop him from taking a bullet for her prematurely and leaving her stranded, or worse, thinking to soften up Baal for her to challenge later tonight?
Vinegar: Are you saying that, in order to get to the main event, the entire team has to put the main event out of their minds for now?
Lieberjosch: I hate to know Jay and I are on the same page on anything, but yes.
Dennis: Ladies and Gentlemen, the follow contest is an Outlast qualifying match, and is a tag team elimination match. When all the members of one team have been eliminated, the remaining members of the winning team will advance to the main event to challenge for the UGWC World Championship!!
Dennis: Introducing first, consisting of Kenzi Lacklan-Grey, Jet Somers, Jason Ingalls, and their captain, Sarah Selena Grey-Lacklan, TEAM KICKASS SQQQQQQQQQQQQUARED!!!!
Dennis: And their opponents, consisting of JC, Magdelena Lockheart, the World Champion Gabriel Baal, and their captain, Lucy Wylde, TEAM EVERYONE LIIIIIIKES ME EXCEPT GAAAAAAAAAABRIEL!!!
Half of that team rolls their eyes at the name.
Vinegar: And with the bell from Rhombus, we're the Outlast Tournament has officially begun!
Lieberjosch: Somers and JC in to start, no surprise there.
Somers and JC circle one another, Jet with a feral, anxious grin, and JC with an indulgent smile. JC stops circling and puts a hand up to motion for Jet to move in. Jet, never one to turn down a challenge, rushes and unleashes a flurry of MMA kicks. JC blocks and braces, absorbing the kicks that nonetheless drive him against the ropes. He grabs at Jet suddenly, turning and pushing him against the ropes. On the rebound, he serves up a German suplex, and Jet skids across the ring.
Jet kips up after a moment, popping his neck and nodding at JC. JC tilts his head and continues to smile. Jet moves in again, but JC is ready. He swings a massive clothesline that nearly knocks Jet out of his...
Covert Jay: If you're a newcomer to the UGWC Network, you may be surprised to learn that Jet Somers fights barefoot.
JC lifts Jet up for a piledriver, and makes the first cover of the match.
1..
"The Wild Card" quickly kicks out, not ready to allow himself to be eliminated yet. He scoots away and reaches for a tag to Ingalls. JC decides to pace himself, and reaches for Lockheart.
Maggie and Jase rush across the ring at one another, Maggie ducking a forearm splash to hit Jase with a spear that knocks him on his ass. Jase, however, is fresh and doesn't stay there. He rolls over on top of her easily, launching some ground and pound maneauvers.
Vinegar: Taking a page from his partner tonight.
Jase relents, climbing back to his feet, then heads toward the ropes for an Asai moonsault, but misses as Maggie rolls out of the way!
She rushes to the corner to escape, but Jase is quicker, and grabs her by the hair to slam her back to the mat, knocking the wind out of her! Rolling her onto her stomach, he plants a knee into her back and cranks her arms back, Maggie groaning in pain!
Covert Jay: Lucy Wylde in for the save as she clobbers Jase over the head!
Lacklan begins to climb in, but Jase motions that he's got it, while Wylde half carries Maggie back to ther corner, where she accepts the tag!
The Cross Hemisphere Champion squares up to Ingalls, and they begin to trade clubbing blows. Lucy gets the upperhand with a knee to the gut, and Jase doubles over. Lucy runs to one side, bouncing the ropes to return with a knee lift! Jase goes down to one knee, and Wylde wastes no time ascending the first two turnbuckles for a flying crossbody that puts her into pinning position!
1..
2..
Jase kicks out violently, a snarl coming over his face. He sweeps Lucy's legs from under her as she rises, the climbs on her back and begins slamming her face into the mat.
Lieberjosch: It looks like a trickle of blood is coming from the champ's mouth, not sure if she broke a tooth or bit her tongue, but Ingalls is in full control!
Ingalls growls loudly as he lifts Lucy up...
Covert Jay: SPINAL TAP!!!
Ingalls covers!
1..
2..
Vinegar: World Champion with the save for the Cross Hemisphere Champion!
Lieberjosch: Given the circumstances, I did NOT see that coming.
Vinegar: Don't read the wrong thing into it, Baal is glaring daggers down at Lucy as he returns to their team corner.
Covert Jay: There goes Jase!
Ingalls runs at the corner to club Baal off the apron, and he's instantly double teamed by blows raining down from Maggie and JC! Team Kickass Squared infiltrates the ring as one, to rush the corner, but referee Sam Greene valiantly dives in between and, after pulling Ingalls away from the Wylde corner, manages to maintain some semblance of order in the match. He commands everyone back to their corners, then goes to check on Lucy, who nods as she climbs to her feet.
Covert Jay: What does Ingalls have against everyone's back?
Lieberjosch: He's a doctor, Jay, he knows how impossible it is to fight with a spine injury.
Lucy to her corner, and Jase to his, as he tags in Kenzi and Lucy tags in Maggie. There's an insanely loud pop from the crowd as Grey enters a UGWC ring to fight for the first time in her career. Spurred on by the reaction, Kenzi sprints toward Lockheart, and leaps up for a massive SUPERGIRL PUNCH!
Lockheart goes down hard, and Kenzi immediately tries for a pin!
1..
2..
Kickout by Lockheart, but Kenzi shrugs, rolling with it. A smile breaks out across her face as she accepts the competition. In the spirit of sportsmanship, she bounces on the balls of her feet, readying herself while allowing Magdalena to climb to her feet.
Maggie nods at her, but baits her in as she allows Kenzi to run at her again. Drop toe hold drives Kenzi into the ropes, and Maggie follows up with a baseball slide that sends her out to the floor! Maggie leapfrogs the ropes to drop a splash onto Kenzi on the outside, but Kenzi gets the knees up! Now they're both writhing on the floor, but Kenzi uses the nearby ring steps to get to her feet.
Not wanting to waste her recovery, Kenzi grabs Maggie up and whips her slam into the ring apron, crumpling her. Mrs. Grey-Lacklan rolls Maggie back into the ring. Climbing in herself, she grabs the top rope and readies herself. Maggie starts to get up and here comes Kenzi! Planting a foot on the back of her head as she leaps up--
Covert Jay: Lockheart read the move!
Lieberjosch: Grey prides herself on stealing her opponents moves, wanting to prove she can execute them 'better than you.'
Vinegar: Maggie did her homework and was ready for it as she grabs Kenzi's other leg to drag her down out of the air!
Maggie climbs on top of Kenzi, using that control position she learned in her MMA background to get the upperhand. She's driving knees into her ribcage, and dropping those hard forearms across the forehead of Grey. One catches her across the jaw, stunning her, and Maggie sees her opening. She climbs up, dragging Kenzi with her and over to the ropes, where she places her feet on the second rope.
Lieberjosch: Wait, is she...?
Vinegar: Turn about is fair play, Hans!
Covert Jay: STARMAKER!!
Maggie turns Kenzi's own signature move against her as she goes for the cover.

ELIMINATED: Kenzi Grey-Lacklan
Kenzi is escorted out of the ring by Greene, casting a look back at her wife, who glares down at her in disappointment. Kenzi drops her eyes and walks away up the ramp defeated, but the UGWC fans are on their feet with applause for her first perfomance here.
Maggie has retreated to her corner, where the rest of her team congratulates her before Lucy tags in. On the other side, Sarah is about to get in, but Jet puts a hand out, asking to go in instead. Sarah looks to Jase for assistance, who nods that he approves.
Vinegar: Essentially, the rest of her team is keeping her alive and fresh by minimizing her ring time, but you've got to think someone famous for fighting across the world would be itching to get her hands on her professional rival.
Lieberjosch: Sarah allows Jet to go in instead, and he and Lucy square off.
Vinegar: One rivalry we didn't discuss earlier in the evening, Lucy Wylde and Jet Somers kicked off the year with an exciting string of battles that forged a sort of begrudging respect between them.
Lieberjosch: I don't know how much her association with Gabriel Baal has done to improve that relationship, but as we're about to see, anytime they're in the ring together they put on a hell of a show.
Collar and elbow tie up sets them off, and Lucy yanks him into a wristlock. Jet rolls out, pulling her arm into an armbar. She spins out, wrapping her free arm around his neck to pull him down for a headlock. Jet bends his knees, lifting her up to toss her over the back of his head, but Lucy lands on her feet. She shoves him into the ropes and drops down for a rollup, but Jet rolls through and cradles her up for a split second. Lucy kicks her leg free and plants her feet to bridge out. This breaks Jet's hold and gives Lucy a chance to kick up to her feet, but Jet hooks her leg and pulls her back down into a single leg crab, but she rolls over and kicks Jet away. She leaps up quickly, and they both go into a fighting stance.
Covert Jay: Impressive bit of chain wrestling there from both competitors, and the crowd applauds loudly with appreciation.
Teammates from both sides join in the clapping. Jet and Lucy nod to each other, then dive in again, but this time Lucy gets the upperhand after a gutshot. She drags Jet to a neutral corner and begins laying knife-edge chops into his chest as the crowd gives the traditional "Whoo!" She drags him out, whipping him toward the ropes, but Jet reverses and sends her to the ropes instead. Lucy doesn't slow down, but ascends the ropes like she's climbing stairs, then leaps backward with a corkscrew moonsault that sends Jet crashing down!
1..
2..
Jet kicks out, and Lucy regroups. Bouncing the nearest ropes, she leaps up for a head scissors takedown, but Jet muscles through and turns it into a powerbomb! This time "The Living Weapon" heads for the ropes and leaps up to the bottom rope, springboards into...
Covert Jay: BLACKOUT!
Vinegar: That should be it for Lucy.
1..
2..
Lucy Wylde kicks out of the Blackout!
Lieberjosch: Opie can't believe it!
Lucy rushes for the corner, where she reaches for a tag. JC leans down to take it, but Maggie hurls herself over the top rope to smack Lucy's hand. JC looks shocked as Lockheart rushes into the ring and hits Jet a massive spinkick to the head!
Vinegar: Maggie may be one to go blow for blow with Jet having come from a similar background, but he's got to get up first!
Jet manages to get up to a kneeling position, Maggie going for another martial arts kick, but Jet sees it coming and catches her leg under his left arm. Not intending to slow down, Maggie goes for the enziguri, but Jet ducks it, putting himself in the position to fall backward for an awkward slingshot that sends Maggie flying.
She nearly crashes into the corner, but catches the ropes on either side and spins herself around, only to be caught in a big splash by Jet! Jet grabs her by the head, then runs up the turnbuckles.
Covert Jay: CHAOS IN MOTION!
He flattens her and goes for the pin.
1..
2..
3!
ELIMINATED: Magdelena Lockheart
Vinegar: That brings us down to three on three, and it's still either team's game!
Jet motions for JC to get in the ring, and he obliges. For the second time tonight, they lock horns, but JC isn't leaving any openings. He drills in with a haymaker that staggers Jet, then wraps him up to deliver a spinebuster! A few jumping stomps are followed by an elbow drop, and JC rolls up Somers.
1..
2..
Jet kicks out! JC isn't finished, pulling Jet to his feet for a basic neckbreaker, then lifting him again for an evenflow DDT. Not quite satisfied, he lifts him up one last time and delivers a vicious sidewalk slam. Covering again...
1..
2..
Jet kicks out! JC nods, as if he expected this, and drags Jet to his feet again.
Lieberjosch: A look at the intelligent strategy employed by JC here. Jet's been in the match for far longer than JC, and "The Man Without Fear" is putting on a clinic as he keeps Jet off his feet, keeping the faster opponent from being able to get himself going again.
He's moved on to delivering suplexes... fisherman's followed by a german, then an overhead belly to belly. Finally, a picture-perfect northern lights suplex into a pin.
1..
2..
Jet kicks out again! JC is openly chuckling now as he refuses to allow Jet to recover. He drags Jet back to his corner to reach out for a tag to Gabriel Baal. Baal thinks it over for a moment, as JC lifts his hand again for the tag. Baal still hesitates, but he happens to turn and see Lucy's face, practically pleading with him to cooperate. Baal sighs and begins to reach out his hand, but that moment of hesitation was enough for Jet to act. He hops up between Baal and Lucy on the turnbuckles, managing to avoid their grasping hands as he turns and nails a JETSTREAMER!
Covert Jay: Jet hits the Jetstreamer!
It was closer than usual, and the momentum of the leap carried him rolling past JC, but JC is down. Jet climbs to his feet and smiles down at the more experienced veteran. He's about to advance, when Jason Ingalls slaps him on the back for the hot tag, then smoothly slides in and sneaks by Jet for the cover.
1..
2..
3!!
ELIMINATED: JC
Jet's jaw drops as he stares in disbelief. Jase climbs to his feet and turns to look at Jet, smiling a shit-eating grin and throwing his arms out for a shrug. He doesn't notice Gabriel step in to take Jase's place, and "The Serpent" quickly rolls him up with a schoolboy.
1..
2..
3!!
ELIMINATED: Jason Ingalls
Lieberjosch: And then there were four.
Vinegar: We've started to see some cracks in Team KA Squared, but there's been some dissension on the other side as well.
Covert Jay: The winners will be the ones who can put aside their differences and get the job done.
Jet tags Sarah in, and the two freshest fighters in the match finally face off. Sarah wastes no time rushing across the ring and unleashes a right hook that Baal barely dodges.
Vinegar: That could have ended Baal's time as a draftee right there, her famous "Cop Killa."
Undeterred, she goes for a spinning back fist that does connect and clobbers Baal into the ropes. He obviously didn't see that coming, and he doesn't see it coming when Lacklan runs to the ropes and through them for a dropkick that hangs them both up in a tangle. Lacklan gets free and drops to the floor with a neckbreaker on the Champ.
Lieberjosch: Sarah turning to blow a mocking kiss at Wylde, who drops from ringside to come around and meet her rival.
Jet Somers quick to leave his post and come to Lacklan's aid, though, causing Lucy to freeze, unwilling to jeopardize herr chances with dangerous two on one scuffle on the outside. Seeing her number one pick has her back when she spies him over her shoulder, she turns back to Wylde and winks, giving a little shrug as she turns her attention back to the ring, where Baal is just freeing himself.
Lacklan slides back in as Wylde and Somers return to their corners, eyeing one another carefully. This time, Baal is ready, and as she gets to her feet, he greets her with his patented kicking combo. Lacklan takes one to each knee, each thigh, each side of the ribs, and finally a vicious kick in the face.
Blood squirts from her nose as that kick takes her down, and Baal wastes no time lifting her halfway up to finish the job.
Covert Jay: THE FALL!
Baal covers:
1..
2..
3--NO!
Lieberjosch: I can't believe my eyes, but Lacklan just kicked out of the Fall!
She takes advantage of Baal's momentary shock and dives for her corner, tagging a waiting Jet Somers. Jet immediately climbs up the turnbuckles, hoping for a quick finish himself.
Covert Jay: JETSTREAM-- OH SHIT! CATATONIA FROM BAAL!!
Vinegar: BLUE PUMPKIN-HUMPING MOSES!
Instead of going for the pin, Baal grabs the dazed Somers and pulls his arms behind him.
Lieberjosch: He's trying for the Demonsacre, if he can get this locked--
Covert Jay: Jet Somers just tapped out!!
Vinegar: What?
ELIMINATED: Jet Somers
Lieberjosch: That Catatonia must have rattled his brain, because Jet no longer wants any part of Gabriel Baal or this match, he's finished!
Vinegar: I don't even know if Baal got that Demonsacre locked in good before Jet's survival instinct kicked in and he tapped out of sheer reflex.
Sarah Lacklan screams at Jet, who sits in the middle of the ring, blinking. He doesn't seem to realize that he tapped out, and when Sam Greene comes over to ask him to step out, he blinks up at him a few times before looking over at Baal. Baal nods and shrugs, smiling like the cat who got the canary.
Dropping his head, Jet rolls out, shoulders slumped. He turns to Sarah and mouths "I'm sorry" before heading up the ramp.
Vinegar: Lacklan climbs back in carefully, but Baal holds a hand up.
He turns and holds a hand out to Lucy, who nods and accepts the tag. He holds the ropes for her as she steps in and faces off against her fellow captain.
Lieberjosch: Only one of the three remaining competitors won't be in the main event tonight, but one of them will have to go through two people to have a chance.
Vinegar: Tall order for the Red Queen, but I think she's up to the challenge.
Lucy is out of the gate with a spear that takes Lacklan off her feet, but Sarah has the wherewithal to grab Lucy's head and turn it into a DDT before she lands, and both ladies hit the mat hard enough to ricochet away from one another. Lacklan manages to get up first, but as she approaches, Lucy shoots to her feet.
Covert Jay: WYLDE LIBERATION!
1..
2..
Lacklan kicks out of the Wylde Liberation!
Lucy pounds the mat, but doesn't make the mistake of dwelling on it. She turns to continue her assault, lifting Lacklan to her feet. Sarah drops out of Wylde's grip, however, and hits a Pele kick! Lucy hits the mat on her back so hard she comes back to a sitting position, giving Lacklan the opening for a
Covert Jay: SHINING WIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZARD!!
Lacklan now covers:
1..
2..
Wylde kicks out!
Both women roll to the ropes, staring back at one another in frustration. They climb slowly to their feet, then launch at one another again. Lacklan tries for a jumpkick, but Lucy fades back, and shoves a front kick into Sarah's shins, knocking them from under her and Lacklan smacks her face on the mat. She starts to push herself up, only for Lucy to attack again!
Covert Jay: KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!
Vinegar: She almost kicked Lacklan's albino head into the crowd!
Lieberjosch: This one's over.
Lucy pins:
1..
2..
Lieberjosch: SARAH LACKLAN HAS KICKED OUT AGAIN!!
Vinegar: Lucy can't believe it, the fans can't believe it, hell I can't believe it, but Lacklan is still in this.
Baal applauds despite himself, impressed with the skill of both the women before him. There's no way to know for sure how much either competitor has left in the tanks, they're each repeatedly kicking out of everything the other can throw! Lacklan is dragging herself to the corner, refusing to give up, and starts to pull herself to her feet. Lucy has climbed to her feet as well, and she rushes to the corner for a splash, but misses as Lacklan moves out of the way with a sixth sense!
Covert Jay: Here comes Lacklan with a bulldog!
She lifts Lucy up and flips her around, it looks like she's going for the Abyss, but Lucy drives an elbow into her breadbasket, breaking the hold. She whips Sarah into the ropes, and as Sarah returns, scoops her up for a fisherman's brainbuster!! Red Queen crumples like an accordion, and Lucy surveys the damage. She looks over at Baal, and Baal nods and whispers "Do it."
Vinegar: Do it?
Making up her mind, Lucy climbs the turnbuckle near Baal.
Lieberjosch: Critical moment here... does he allow Lucy to go for her big finish, or divest himself of one dangerous challenger in the main event?
Baal drops to the the floor and begins to make his way up the ramp, turning at the last minute to watch.
Covert Jay: CALAMITY FROM THE SKIES!!
Vinegar: Lucy giving it all for that dangerous high risk maneauver, was it a good investment??
1..
2..
3!!
ELIMINATED: Sarah Selena Grey-Lacklan
Dennis: Your winners, advancing to the main event, GABRIEL BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL AND LUCCCCCCCCCCCCCY WYLDE!!!!!
Vinegar: My god, if that's the first match of the night, I can't imagine what more there is to come!
Lieberjosch: Lucy and Gabriel can both imagine it, and they stare each other down until Gabriel claps his hands slowly and turns to return to his locker room.
Team Everyone Likes Me But Gabriel - 7.74
Team Kickass Squared - 7.65

thank you again!
