Outlast 2018

[Lord Hastings]

Vinegar: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Outlast!"

Covert Jay: HUTTAH!"

Lieberjosch: "Today is the fifteenth installment of the Outlast tournament, as we come to you live from the PPG Paints Arena, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and with as much talent as we have competing here tonight, the likelihood of the reigning World Champion retaining his championship here tonight is slim to none."

Vinegar: "You are absolutely right, Hans. With the entire roster having the chance to earn a shot against Alan Wallace here tonight, it's hard telling who he will be squaring off against in that main event match, but one thing is certain: he will have a target on his back from all of those that advance."

Covert Jay: "As big of a fan as I am of 'The Vain One', even I'll admit that it's not likely that he emerges tonight with that title, but if anyone is capable of proving all of us wrong, it's him."

Vinegar: "We begin finding out who will advance in a few moments, as our first qualifying match is mere moments away. It will be Team Payne going up against Team Pain and Paradox."

Lieberjosch: "Mitchell Dennis has ascended the ring steps and has entered the ring."

Covert Jay: "Do your thing, Mitch!"

Mitchell Dennis: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our first qualifying match of the night. These qualifying matches will be fought elimination style, with the surviving members of the winning team advancing to the main event here tonight, where they will challenge for the UGWC World Championship!"

Mitchell Dennis:  "Introducing first..."

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing six-feet four-inches tall, and weighing in at two-hundred four pounds… hailing from Cologne, Germany… 'THE ICEMAN' KONRAD RAAB!!!!!"

"Cold as Ice", by M.O.P., plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.

Vinegar: "It's good to see that it wasn't Konrad's actual mask that Alan Wallace used for his movie audition earlier this week."

Covert Jay: "Yeah, and hopefully that one smells better."

He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks up the ramp and waits for his partners to be introduced.

Lieberjosch: "Konrad seemed to recently attempt to shed a bit of his 'good guy' image as it came to light that he has taken to ingesting illegal substances."

Covert Jay: "He just smoked a little bit of bud. Calm down, Doc."

Lieberjosch: "The point still stands, it is illegal in most states."

Covert Jay: "Gambling is illegal in certain places, too. Never stopped you."

Vinegar: "He has a point, Hans."

Lieberjosch: "Shut up. Both of you."

Mitchell Dennis: "And his partner…"

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing five-feet seven-inches tall and weighing in at one-hundred eighty-eight pounds… she hails from Portland, Oregon… KEM DYNAMO!!!!!"

The lights dim as soft ambient, electronic sounds escape the PA system. After a modest crescendo, the sounds are invaded by a dueling duet between a rhythmic, aggressive guitar riff and high notes from a piano. After a few rounds of call-and-response, the guitar claims victory by expanding the riff while the background continues to build until a single flash of bright lights resets the scene as Claudio Sanchez’s voice commands the audience’s attention.

All nonbelievers stand aside in fear
A new day’s marching through the door

As the momentary flash fades and the house lights normalize, Kem Dynamo bursts through the entryway, fired up and excited to reunite with the #UnifiedUniverse. Kem makes her way slowly down to ringside, interacting with fans in the front few rows while the camera bounces between watching her arrive and cutting to signs in the audience showing support for The Outlier.

You’ve come so far from innocence
Provided all the consequence
Only what does it matter now

At the pre-chorus, Kem turns her attention towards the ring and takes a few steps to pick up a run before sliding under the bottom rope then rolling through to a kneeling pose that hits the center of the ring right on the downbeat of the chorus.

’Cause you’re going hooooooome
You’re running freeeeeeeee

Inside the ring, Kem continues to pose for and engage with the crowd as the chorus plays before climbing a random turnbuckle and joining the crowd in an arena-wide rendition of the song’s “WOAH OH WAH OH WA-OH WA-OH” before jumping down and bolting to an opposite corner to do it one more time with the other side of the audience.

Energized by the support of the #UnifiedUniverse, Kem begins to converse with Konrad Raab, as the two of them await their partners to be introduced.

Vinegar: "Kem Dynamo is looking to get back into the thick of the championship conversation here in UGWC. There is no better way to do that than to advance to the main event here tonight, and win the World Title."

Lieberjosch: "Such an enlightened statement, Nicholas."

Covert Jay: "I agree."

Lieberjosch: "I was being facetious, Jay."

Covert Jay: "You're welcome."

Mitchell Dennis: "And their partner…"

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing five-feet seven-inches tall and weighing in at one-hundred twenty pounds… she hails from Baltimore, Maryland… LUCY WYLDE!!!!!"

The arena goes black. The opening chords of "Undead" by Hollywood Undead blare over the Arena PA system. One by one, spotlights around the arena begin fading in and out, alternating between a bright white and deep purple tones. As the bass line kicks into its highly-recognized bone jarring chorus the spotlights sync their flashing with the rhythm. Suddenly the spotlights all turn at once, illuminating the stage in a brilliant flash and a radiating glow. Lucy Wylde steps out from behind the curtain onto center stage just as the crowd begins to cheer and sing along with the song…

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

As the verse begins, Lucy begins walking towards the ring, a big smile on her face as she moves from side to side along the aisle - slapping the hands of the fans as she goes. She gets to ringside and runs up the ring steps, climbing into the ring and ascending the far turnbuckle, raising her arms into the air. She pulls a pair of fingerless leather gloves from her back pocket and puts them on, one by one. Her music begins to fade into the background of the cheers of her adoring fans. Once both gloves are tight, she clenches both fists and jumps down from the turnbuckle, ready for the fight ahead.

Vinegar: "Lucy Wylde's appearance at Outlast marks her first time being in a UGWC ring since she lost her World Title to Alan Wallace at Day of Reckoning."

Lieberjosch: "Ms. Wylde will definitely be fresh here tonight, but I question if her time away has allowed any sort of ring rust to accumulate."

Mitchell Dennis: "And their partner…"

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing five-feet seven-inches tall, and weighing in at one-hundred twenty-one pounds… hailing from Rawlins, Wyoming… she is the Captain of Team Payne, MIZORE PAYNE!!!!!"

Mizore walks through the curtain as her entrance music plays, and immediately heads down to the ring, joining her team.

Vinegar: "No nonsense entrance right there."

Lieberjosch: "Sure is."

Covert Jay: "Team Payne finds itself in the ring now, and all four members are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their opponents."

Mitchell Dennis: "And their opponents…"

Mitchell Dennis:  "Introducing first..."

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing six-feet four-and-a-half-inches tall… hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana by way of Clearbrook, Virginia… LUCKY!!!!!"

The sound of a revving motorcycle permeates throughout the arena, and then "Zwitter", by Rammstein, begins blaring across the loudspeakers. Lucky steps out onto the entrance way, as the crowd gives him a positive reaction. Some fans yell out his name, while others ask him how Chaos is doing. He doesn't pay them much attention though, preferring to focus solely on the ring, as he begins making his way down the ramp. Using the middle rope to pull himself up onto the apron, he steps through the top and middle ropes, and enters the ring. He silently awaits the arrival of his partners, as he stares across the ring at Team Payne.

Vinegar: "No one was more surprised by Lucky's inclusion into this event than Lucky, but we all know that he loves a good fight, so this sort of match should make him feel right at home."

Lieberjosch: "What he lacks in ring experience, he makes up for with pure alcohol-fueled brawling ability. The man is like a buzzsaw when he's in his element."

Covert Jay: "I think you're talking about 'The Drunken Buzzsaw' Chaos. This here is Lucky."

Lieberjosch: "You mean they're two different people?"

Mitchell Dennis: "And his partner…"

Mitchell Dennis: "She stands five-feet two-inches tall and weighs in at one-hundred twenty-five pounds… hailing from Lacklanland… 'THE BLOOD PRINCESS' SARAH LACKLAN!!!!!

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 and WrestleStock Open Cup winner, is wearing a "Team Kickass"& t-shirt and stands in the spotlight for a moment, but then moves out of the way and gestures for a hooded figure to step forward. Sarah throws back her hood to show the white face and red eyes of the Blood Princess. The two embrace a moment, and then Kenzi turns and heads backstage. Sarah makes her way down the aisle with the red spotlight following her as the rest of the arena stays dark. When she comes to the ring she slides underneath the ropes and upon standing, Sarah removes her robe to show the green and black skin-tight bodysuit beneath.

Vinegar: "We typically see Kenzi Grey accompany Sarah to the ring, but with Kenzi needing to get ready for her own qualifying match here tonight, Sarah enters alone."

Lieberjosch: "I'm sure there are many fans who are sad to not be able to witness The Lacklan's possibly break down and begin showing how much they love one another in the center of the ring."

Covert Jay: "I'm one of them."

Lieberjosch: "I'm not surprised."

Mitchell Dennis: "And their partners…"

Mitchell Dennis: "Standing six-feet six-inches tall and weighing in at two-hundred fifty-five pounds… hailing from Poughkeepsie, New York… he is the Captain of Team Pain and Paradox, ZANE SCOTT!!!!!"

The lone guitar chord begins to reverberate through the dark arena. It's quickly joined by the drums, at which point white a silver strobe lights begin to alight the stage.

Nasty, nasty
Triple X rated

A loud tone that resembles a siren begins to scream through the arena, at which point the arena goes dark again.

Nasty, nasty
Justice, a waste-pit

The silver lights come back on, focused on Zane Scott, who stands on the stage. He looks out over the arena with a smile on his face and then focuses on the ring. The spotlights resume flashing around the stage as Zane looks at the ring.

Nasty, nasty
Deeper in the dirt
Nasty, nasty
Making bodies hurt

He raises Fauxovan Hasteboard overhead with his left hand and holds it there for a few seconds

Deep down!
Deep down!
Deeper down!

Zane lowers Hasteboard and begins to walk to the ring. The lyrics continue to blare through the arena as he walks to the ring. Once he reaches the bottom of the ramp he slides Fauxovan into the ring in the near corner then grabs the top rope and pulls himself up onto the apron with it. He waits on the apron for a few seconds, wipes his feet and then steps through the ropes and into the ring. He walks over to the corner, picks up Fauxovan and ascends the near turnbuckle. He holds Hasteboard over his head for a few moments as his music continues to blare. After he drops from the turnbuckle, he walks to center ring and raises Hasteboard overhead again before he allows the referee to check him for foreign objects. Once the referee is finished, the strobes stop, the lights go back up and Zane walks back to his corner and places his favored faux entertainment professional on the apron, after which he turns around and stands with his arms folded in his corner to discuss match strategy with his team.

Vinegar: "We typically see Zane Scott come to the ring with 'The Lord of Pain-Thriller', which as everyone knows, is the steel chair that he became synonymous with during his battles with Donovan Hastings."

Lieberjosch: "And yet here tonight, he's forced to carry a faux caricature of that same man. When will Zane tire of Donovan's antics that, more times than not, put Zane Scott himself into less than desirable situations?"

Vinegar: "That is something that Zane will likely need to think about at some point in the future, but tonight, his thoughts rest on one thing: advancing to the main event, and attempting to win the World Title that he feels he never received a proper rematch for after he lost it."

Covert Jay: "Claude de Rhombus just did his thing with that bell, and this opening qualifying match is officially underway!"

Vinegar: "Looks like it will be Lucky starting things off against Konrad Raab here as we kick off the first qualifying match of Outlast."

Covert Jay: "Lock up, with Lucky applying a side headlock. Raab shoves him off towards the ropes, but Lucky runs through him with a shoulder tackle."

Lieberjosch: "Hip toss from the ex-convict, but Raab bounces right back off the mat, but is sent back down with an arm drag."

Vinegar: "When did Lucky learn wrestling moves?"

Covert Jay: "Well, Jet Somers is his Sergeant-at-Arms, so I'm sure he's shown him a few things."

Lieberjosch: Obviously. We know it wasn't Cypress or Chaos… all they know how to do is brawl."

Vinegar: "Raab back to his feet now, nodding his head at Lucky as he extends his hand."

Lieberjosch: "Not sure if I would do that if I were Raab. Lucky might not seem like as big of an asshole as his cohorts, but birds of a feather, and all of that."

Covert Jay: "Doesn't seem so. Lucky just shook his hand, and now the two are preparing to lock up again."

Lieberjosch: "Give it time."

Vinegar: "Collar-and-elbow tie-up, and Raab applies an arm wringer to Lucky, and then begins repeatedly driving his elbow into the back of the upper arm of the DMW member."

Covert Jay: "Lucky looking for a way out as Raab keeps hammering on his arm."

Lieberjosch: "And Tyler Durden's long-lost, uglier cousin thinks he's in a fight club, and just hauled off and punched Konrab Raab in the mouth."

Covert Jay: "Got him to break the hold, didn't it?"

Vinegar: "It served to wake Raab up though, and he is hammering Lucky with stiff jabs, that boxing background pay huge dividends right now for Raab."

Lieberjosch: "A vicious right cross just knocked Lucky to his behind, and Raab takes a few steps back and begins shadow boxing, as the crowd cheers."

Covert Jay: "Sounds like they're cheering in German."

Lieberjosch: "Do you even speak German, Jay?"

Covert Jay: "Nein."

Vinegar: "Mizore Payne just reached over the top rope and tagged herself into the match, and Konrad is looking at her in confusion."

Lieberjosch: "As the team captain, it is Ms. Payne's job to ensure that her team stays on the task at hand. Raab took time to pander to his fans, and Mizore doesn't appreciate it. Now she is going to show him how it's done."

Vinegar: "Payne admonishing Raab to get out of the ring, and as he does, she turns around and runs into a big boot from Lucky."

Lieberjosch: "Lucky pulls her back up from the mat and whips her to the ropes, and sends her hard to the mat with a spinebuster."

Covert Jay: "As a wise man once yelled after many moments of silence and anticipation……………. DAMN!"

Vinegar: "Lucky pulling Mizore back to her feet, and sends her into the corner of Team Pain & Paradox."

Covert Jay: "Helluva running boot that caught Mizore flush in the jaw, and she might be out on her feet."

Lieberjosch: "We've told you about gimmick infringement in the past, Jay."

Covert Jay: "Yeah, I know. I totally accented the first syllable of the word, so it's totally different. More generic-oh!"

Vinegar: "Lucky just connected with Join the Club, and that brainbuster might be all it is going to take to put Mizore away."

Lieberjosch: "Sarah Lacklan is asking for the tag though, and Lucky obliges."

Vinegar: "He looked to do so unwillingly, though."

Lieberjosch: "Then he shouldn't have done it. He doesn't owe Lacklan anything."

Covert Jay: "He also realizes he isn't a wrestler. He isn't here to steal the spotlight, Doc. He just wants to fight."

Lieberjosch: "Then he's an idiot."

Vinegar: "Payne struggling to get up to her knees, as Lacklan tears across the ring and bounds off the ropes. Shining Wizard finds it's mark, and Lacklan is back to her feet and slowly circling the downed Mizore Payne."

Lieberjosch: "Lacklan slowly pulling Payne to her feet, but Mizore connects with a forearm and then ducks in behind of Lacklan."

Vinegar: "Payne running Lacklan towards the ropes and rolls her up into a pinning predicament!"

Lieberjosch: "But Lacklan immediately kicks out, and she's applied The Pigeonwing!

Covert Jay: "Mizore is trapped in the center of the ring, and Sarah has grapevined her legs around Payne's waist.

Vinegar: "And before the rest of Team Payne even realizes what is going on, Mizore has tapped out!"

Eliminated: Mizore Payne





Covert Jay: "Damn… she tapped out rather quickly."

Lieberjosch: "Well, it is a painful hold, Jay."

Covert Jay: "Well yeah, but it didn't even look like Sarah had it fully locked in."

Lieberjosch: "Whaddaya gonna do?"

Covert Jay: "Move on?"

Lieberjosch: "Exactly."

Vinegar: "I don't know if anyone predicted that the team captain of Team Payne would be the first one eliminated here tonight."

Lieberjosch: "Then they haven't been paying attention."

Vinegar: "Kem Dynamo enters the ring, looking eager to get her hands on Sarah Lacklan, but the Blood Princess merely smiles, before turning and making the tag back to Lucky."

Covert Jay: "Zane Scott also had stuck his hand out, but Lacklan ignored it. Zane doesn't look too pleased about that."

Lieberjosch: "Maybe the conversation she had with Creative Director Hastings did some good, and she is doing her part to ensure that Zane Scott makes it to the Main Event match? He doesn't have to worry about getting eliminated, if he isn't in the match."

Vinegar: "I think Zane Scott is more than capable of pulling his own weight, and advancing to the Main Event on his own merit."

Lieberjosch: "We'll see, I suppose."

Vinegar: "Lucky locking up with Kem and shoots her towards the ropes, and Kem ducks under a clothesline attempt."

Lieberjosch: "Kem off the opposite ropes, and connects with a spinning heel kick that sends Lucky down to the mat."

Covert Jay: "Lucky quickly back to his feet, eats a superkick that crumples him to the mat."

Vinegar: "Kem dragging Lucky back to his feet, and then spikes him with a DDT."

Lieberjosch: "Kem stepping out onto the ring apron, measuring Lucky, and then slingshots over the top rope, connecting with The Hangover across the throat of Lucky."

Vinegar: "Kem over and makes the tag to Raab, and can be seen saying something to him as he enters the ring."

Lieberjosch: "Kem Dynamo drags Lucky to his feet and lifts him up, just as Raab makes a beeline towards the two of them."

Covert Jay: "Combination Lights Out from Dynamo and The Ice Storm from Raab, and Lucky is done."

Vinegar: "Dynamo quickly over and taking a swing at Lacklan, who hops down to the floor, as Sam Green drops to make the count as Konrad Raab makes the cover…




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THREE!!!!!!!!!!

Eliminated: Lucky






Vinegar: "And just like that, we are even at three to three in this qualifying match."

Covert Jay: "Lucky came for a fight, but his inexperience as a wrestler really showed during that exchange with Kem Dynamo."

Lieberjosch: "Just as I knew it would. Fortunately it allows him to get an early start back to New Orleans. I'm sure the club has missed him wondrously."

Vinegar: "Dynamo has exited the ring, taking her place back on the apron beside of Lucy Wylde, as Raab turns around to see who will next step up to the plate."

Covert Jay: "IT'S FAUXOVAN HASTEBOARD! FAUXOVAN HASTEBOARD IS IN THE RING!"

Vinegar: "And Zane Scott is dumbfounded. He's asking Sarah if she put Fauxovan in the ring, but she's been down on the floor."

Lieberjosch: "I… I don't know what to say."

Vinegar: "Raab doesn't look like he cares though, he's moving towards Hasteboard, throwing out a jab."

Covert Jay: "And Konrad immediately grabs his wrist, yelling in pain after connecting with that punch to Fauxovan! Jaw of STEEL!"

Lieberjosch: "No, just a brick. And yet, for some reason, the officials around here always allow it."

Covert Jay: "And just as quickly as Fauxovan appeared in the ring… he's now out on the apron, and Sam Green is calling for the tag to Zane Scott!"

Vinegar: "One of the damndest things I've ever seen. Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

Covert Jay: "Anything can happen in UGWC. Remember Err Bear?"

Lieberjosch: "Jesus, don't remind us."

Vinegar: "Zane slowly getting into the ring now, still trying to figure out what just happened, and Raab sees him coming."

Lieberjosch: "Konrad throwing caution to the wind and taking a swing at Zane Scott, but Zane catches his hand, and then sends him crashing to the mat with a lariat."

Vinegar: "Scott immediately begins stomping away at Konrad Raab, paying particularly attention to that right hand and forearm of Konrad."

Lieberjosch: "He won't be able to utilize his boxing background if he can't use his right hand."

Covert Jay: "Sounds like Raab should work on his ambidexterity. When I can't use my right hand, I have no trouble switching off to the left."

Lieberjosch: "You're a disgusting individual."

Vinegar: "Zane rips Raab to his feet and lifts him up for a powerbomb, and he takes off towards the far neutral corner."

Lieberjosch: "Corner powerbomb from Zane Scott, and Raab's head snapped back violently."

Vinegar: "Raab stumbling out of the corner now, and is met with a kick to the stomach that doubles him over. Front facelock applied by Zane Scott…"

Covert Jay: "And Zane lifts Raab up and props his legs on the middle rope… DDT from Zane Scott!"

Lieberjosch: "And the cover!




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THRE-KICK OUT!!!!!!!!!!




Vinegar: "Konrab surprising everyone by kicking out, but I'm more surprised that neither Lucy Wylde nor Kem Dynamo bothered to enter and try to make the save."

Covert Jay: "Maybe they had ultimate confidence that it wouldn't be enough to put Konrad away?"

Lieberjosch: "Unlikely."

Vinegar: "Zane backing up towards the adjacent corner now, waiting for Raab to get up. Raab up to his hands and knees, and Zane goes for Salt the Earth!"

Covert Jay: "But Raab moved out of the way, Zane coming down awkwardly on his left leg. He shakes his leg out a couple of times and turns back towards Konrab, and Raab grabs him around the throat and lifts him into the air… The Iceinator!"

Vinegar: "Raab still feeling the effects of that DDT though, and both he and Zane Scott are down on the mat."

Lieberjosch: "Konrad trying to crawl to make the tag, but he's crawling towards the wrong corner, and Zane Scott is making his way back to his feet as well…"

Vinegar: "Raab reaching out, but there's no hand there. He gets to his feet and sees Lacklan standing before him, and she just smiles at him and points over his shoulder…"

Lieberjosch: "Raab unsteadily turns back around and walks right into Murderous Intent!"

Vinegar: "Lacklan climbing up to the top now and takes flight, taking out the entering Lucy Wylde and Kem Dynamo with a flying crossbody, as Zane Scott makes the cover…"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THREE!!!!!!!!!!

Eliminated: Konrad Raab




Vinegar: "Team Payne is now down to just Kem Dynamo and Lucy Wylde, and Lucy hasn't made it into the ring yet."

Lieberjosch: "She will definitely have an advantage if she would happen to advance, that is for certain."

Covert Jay: "Looks like Lucy is ready to get into the thick of things now though, as she is telling Kem to head out to the apron. Kem looks to take offense to it though."

Vinegar: "The two women are arguing back and forth about which one of them is going to take on Zane Scott here…"

Lieberjosch: "Zane proves that he is equal opportunity though, and he just connected with a double clothesline that sent both ladies down to the mat."

Vinegar: "He reaches down and jerks Lucy to her feet, and lifts her up for a powerbomb…"

Covert Jay: "But she is able to reverse it in mid-air, and sends Zane Scott face-first into the mat with a facebuster."

Lieberjosch: "Dynamo back to her feet as well now, and both she and Lucy wait for Zane to get back to his feet. Double superkick!"

Vinegar: "Kem quickly over and connects with a clubbing blow that sends Sarah Lacklan to the floor, and now Dynamo is climbing to the top turnbuckle."

Covert Jay: "On the other side of the ring, Lucy Wylde has climbed to the opposite top turnbuckle, and both men are staring down at the prone Zane Scott!"

Vinegar: "The ladies look at one another and nod, and they both take flight…"

Lieberjosch: "Lucy Wylde connects with a headbutt, as Kem Dynamo simultaneously connects with a frog splash! And Kem makes the cover!"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THRE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!




Vinegar: "Sarah Lacklan dove in to make the save at the last minute, and now Kem is taking it to her with kicks."

Lieberjosch: "Wylde back over to the apron now, as Dynamo connects with a jumping knee that sends Lacklan back through the ropes. She hooks her arm on the rope though, and lands on the apron."

Covert Jay: "Dynamo takes off towards the opposite ropes, bounding off of them and getting slapped on the back with a tag from Lucy Wylde."

Vinegar: "Dynamo barreling towards Lacklan, but a shoulder thrust through the top and middle ropes stops Kem in her tracks. Lacklan now hopping down to the floor, and picking up Fauxovan Hasteboard, who had been knocked to the floor earlier."

Lieberjosch: "Lacklan attempting to shield Hasteboard from the official, as she reaches under the ring and grabs something. What is she doing?"

Covert Jay: "We can't get a good angle on Sarah, but Zane is working on getting back to his feet, as Lucy sneaks in befind him."

Vinegar: "Lacklan looking back over her shoulder, and she sees Kem slowly walking over towards the rope… "

Lieberjosch: "Zane moving towards Kem now, but Kem sees him coming, drop toe-hold, and she hangs him up on the middle rope!"

Vinegar: "And Lacklan just turned around, swinging Fauxovan Hasteboard as hard as she can, and she cracks Zane Scott in the face with it!"

Lieberjosch: "She had her eyes closed as she swung! She thought it was Kem!"

Vinegar: "What came out of Hasteboard, though?!"

Covert Jay: "Looks like Sam is checking into that as well!"

Vinegar: "It's a small piece of a cinderblock! And I think it knocked Zane Scott out!"

Covert Jay: "Sam Green is questioning Fauxovan Hasteboard about it, and he never gave Fauxovan a chance to explain. Hasteboard just got disqualified!"

Eliminated: Fauxovan Hasteboard





Lieberjosch: "There is so much wrong with what you just said, Jay!"

Covert Jay: "Don't blame me. Chad thought it up."

Lieberjosch: "it was easier to explain away when he drank. Now it's just sad."

Vinegar: "What you two are missing is Lucy Wylde is the legal participant in the ring, and she's making the cover on Zane Scott!"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THREE!!!!!

Eliminated: Zane Scott




Vinegar: "Zane Scott was one of the favorites to advance to the main event and challenge for the UGWC World Title, and he has just been eliminated!"

Lieberjosch: "Sarah Lacklan attempted to take out Kem Dynamo with that move, and it backfired on her."

Vinegar: "Not only did it lead to Zane Scott getting pinned, but it also led to Sarah finding herself trapped in a two-on-one affair against Kem Dynamo and Lucy Wylde!"

Covert Jay: "All girl threeway? Yes please."

Lieberjosch: "I wasn't aware that you liked… well…"

Covert Jay: "Blondes? Damn right, I do. Everyone deserves to be appreciated, Doc."

Vinegar: "Kem and Lucy arguing back and forth again now, and Kem just threw her hands in the air and stepped out onto the apron."

Lieberjosch: "Lacklan quickly slide back in the ring, and connected with a dropkick to the back of the head of Lucy Wylde. Lacklan now stomping on the down Lucy, finally kicking her out of the ring."

Vinegar: "Sarah following Lucy to the outside, dragging her to her feet and executing an arm wringer."

Lieberjosch: "The force behind that move sent Lucy face-first onto the floor, and now she has rolled Lucy over onto her back and has applied a fujiwara armbar."

Vinegar: "Pinfalls and submissions cannot occur out on the floor in this match, but any damage that Sarah does to that arm of Lucy Wylde will definitely affect Lucy for the rest of the match."

Covert Jay: "Dynamo hopping down to the floor now, and Sarah releases the hold and quickly gets back to her feet, yelling at Sam Green to keep 'fatty' away from her."

Vinegar: "Green getting in between them, admonishing Kem to return to her corner, as Lacklan just dragged Lucy to her feet and ran her into the ring post shoulder first."

Lieberjosch: "She followed that up by wrapping that left arm around the ring post, the sound clanging at ringside."

Covert Jay: "Sounded like it hurt."

Vinegar: "Sarah shoving Lucy back into the ring and making the cover…"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THR-KICK OUT!!!!!!!!!!




Vinegar: "Lucy kicking out at two-and-a-half, grabbing at her arm as she tries to get to her feet."

Covert Jay: "Snapmare by Lacklan, and she just connected with The TOTES! Kick!"

Lieberjosch: "Lucy dragging herself to her feet with the help of the ropes, and Lacklan just grabbed her by the hair and bent her backwards…"

Covert Jay: "The Abyss! And the cover!"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THREE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!




Vinegar: "Kem Dynamo into the ring and making the save at the last possible second, and for a second, I didn't think she was going to make it."

Lieberjosch: "At first, it didn't look like she was interested in trying to get into the ring and break up the pin attempt."

Covert Jay: "You know women, Doc… they always be changing their minds."

Vinegar: "Sarah and Kem now jawing at one another, as Sam Green does what he can to keep them separated."

Lieberjosch: "Sarah feeling pretty good about herself right now, as Kem steps back out onto the apron. She pulls Lucy to her feet and whips her into the ropes."

Vinegar: "Lucy ducks under a clothesline attempt, hits the opposite ropes… spear!"

Covert Jay: "Sarah Lacklan grimacing in pain as she holds her stomach after that desperation spear by Lucy Wylde."

Vinegar: "Both ladies slowly trying to get to their feet now, Sarah fully upright and still grabbing at her abdomen, as Lucy just makes it up to a knee."

Covert Jay: "Wylde Liberation from out of nowhere!"

Vinegar: "But Lucy immediately grabs at her arm again, as Sarah's eyes are completely glassed over."

Lieberjosch: "Lucy knows she isn't going to be able to keep Sarah down with that banged up arm, and she is slowly trying to drag herself over to Kem."

Covert Jay: "She's halfway there, as Sarah is beginning to stir."

Vinegar: "The fans are all on their feet right now, wondering if Lucy will be able to make the tag, or if Sarah will cut her off, and then somehow find a way to finally eliminate Lucy Wylde from this match."

Lieberjosch: "Lucy almost there now, as Sarah moves to stop her…"

Vinegar: "Lucy makes the tag to Kem!"

Covert Jay: "And Kem just entered the ring with a slingshot shoulder block that hit Sarah Lacklan in the face."

Vinegar: "Both ladies back to their feet… Neverender from Dynamo!"

Lieberjosch: "Kem could have gone for a pin attempt there, but chose not to."

Vinegar: "She wants to prove a point, Hans."

Covert Jay: "Kem lifting Sarah up… Lights Out!"

Lieberjosch: "But she got to her feet and is just standing there staring down at her…"

Covert Jay: "Because she isn't finished…"

Vinegar: "The fans here in Pittsburgh are screaming for one more, and Kem is going to give it to them!"

Covert Jay: "She drags Lacklan back to her feet again… another Lights Out! And now she drops down for the cover…"




ONE!!!!!




TWO!!!!!




THREE!!!!!!!!!!

Eliminated: Sarah Lacklan




Vinegar: "Kem Dynamo gains some semblance of revenge against Sarah Lacklan here tonight, and both she and Lucy Wylde will be advancing to the Main Event match here tonight, where they will challenge for the UGWC World Championship against 'Vain' Alan Wallace."

Lieberjosch: "And the only question is, which UGWC entertainment professionals will be joining them?"

Vinegar: "That is what we will find out, as we continue on our journey to see which individuals will be able to Outlast…"

Covert Jay: "So corny. Stop it."

Vinegar: "Up next… it will be Team Vaughnemous going up against Team Lockheart!"

Covert Jay: "Stay tuned!"


Team Payne - 6.96

Pain and Paradox - 6.93

[Lord Hastings]

The broadcast cuts backstage, where Roxy Malone stands with a microphone.

Malone: Roxy Malone here backstage at Outlast, and I'm with Zane Scott, and Zane, you have to be disappointed with the way things went out there.

Zane: Of course I-

Hastings: There you are. Excuse me, Roxy, we don't have time for this.

Donovan nudges her out of the shot.

Hastings: Listen, about what happened out there-

Zane puts up a hand to stop him.

Zane: I think the less said, the better.

Hastings: No, that was a travesty. I'm going to take care of this.

Zane: It's fine, Donovan. Sometimes things don't work out. There will be another day.

Hastings: No, TODAY. The REDUX!!!!! is destined to happen TONIGHT! I'm going to take care of everything, don't worry about it. I can't do anything about a decision a referee has already made, but justice will prevail.

Zane: Listen, I can be at peace with it. Tonight isn't my night. I don't need you do anything.

Hastings: Zane...

He puts his hand on Zane's shoulder.

Hastings: I need you to trust me.

Zane has a lengthy exhale, and he nods his head. Donovan pats him on the shoulder.

Hastings: That's my Zane. I'll see you in a bit.

Donovan walks off down the hallway.

Hastings: REEEEDDDUUUXXXXXX!!!!!

Roxy Malone steps back into view, standing next to Zane and watching Donovan walk down the hallway.

Zane: He's probably buying the cardboard into the main event.

[Lord Hastings]

Vinegar: Our first match tonight was a wild one and I doubt it’s going to slow down with our second one as Team Lockheart takes on Team #Vaughnemous.

Lieberjosch: Hopefully the chaff is eliminated quickly.

Vinegar: There’s no “chaff” in this match.

Lieberjosch: I disagree.

Covert Jay: Isn’t there medicine for that?

Lieberjosch: For what?

Covert Jay: Being chaff.

Lieberjosch: Medicine? What the hell are you talking about?

Vinegar: Please, Hans. Don’t…

Lieberjosch: Don’t what? I have no idea what this idiot is talking about.

Vinegar: He’s setting you up.

Lieberjosch: Impossible! I’m far too brilliant to fall for any trap that this imbecile could set for me!

Vinegar: Ok. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. Jay...go right ahead.

Covert Jay: Thanks, Nick!

Lieberjosch: Go ahead with what? There’s no medicine for chaff!

Covert Jay: Sure there is!

Lieberjosch: What the hell are you talking about?!

Covert Jay: Chaff Stik!

Lieberjosch: You have no idea how much I want to hurt you right now.

Vinegar: I warned you.

Lieberjosch: That’s not helpful, Nicholas. If we could get back to the introductions…

Vinegar: By all means, Hans. As I was saying, this promises to be a fantastic match as it pits two excellent teams against each other as Team Lockheart, which consists of team Captain Magdalena Lockheart, Kenzi Gray-Lacklan, Travis Pierce and Dave Rydell…

Lieberjosch: Choke! Choke!

Covert Jay: Are you ok, Doc? Maybe I should have Jordan check you.

Lieberjosch: I’m fine. Kindly leave me alone.

Covert Jay: Are you sure? People get sick during seasonal changes. Maybe you’re sick and don’t even know it. Come here!

Lieberjosch: Why?

Covert Jay: I want to check you for a fever!

Lieberjosch: You will do no such thing.

Vinegar: Gentlemen, if you two could kindly get a grip.

Lieberjosch: That’s an unfortunate choice of words, Nick.

Vinegar: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Lieberjosch: Sure. And Jay’s not a complete moron.

Vinegar: Anyway, their team is facing team #Vaughnemous. That team consists of team Captain Angelica Vaughn, Roxy Cotton, Captain 80s and Elizabeth Blackwell.

Lieberjosch: In spite of Lockheart having Rydell and Pierce, this matchup is still unfair.

Vinegar: Both Dave Rydell and Travis Pierce have looked like completely different people lately.

Covert Jay: Especially Rydell! I think he bodysnatched someone!

Lieberjosch: You’re an idiot.

Vinegar: You can’t argue that Dave Rydell has been a different man since coming back. He’s been far more focused and ruthless. He’s also formed an interesting partnership with Angelica Vaughn which could very well be tested tonight.

Lieberjosch: It would make their partnership a bit more interesting if one was to eliminate the other tonight.

Vinegar: That’s very true. I have a feeling that Angelica would take it better if Rydell eliminated her than the other way around, but we could find out tonight.

Lieberjosch: We’ll never find out if we don’t get this going.

Vinegar: With that, let’s go to Mitchell Dennis in the ring!

Mitchell: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for our SECOND Outlast match of the night! Introducing first…

‘Vaughnemous Domination’ blares through the arena and Angelica walks out onto the ramp to a thunderous cheer. She stops at the top and looks back at the curtain.

Vinegar: Angelica looks ready and the fans are ready to root her on!

Covert Jay: How can you not like her? She’s so sweet!

Lieberjosch: Sure, when she’s not making fat jokes at Kem.

Vinegar: I didn’t know that you care about that.

Lieberjosch: I don’t, it just takes a little of the nauseating sweetness from her.

Vinegar: The fans don’t agree.

Lieberjosch: The fans are idiots.

Vinegar: It’s no wonder that they routinely vote you as one of our most dislikable personalities.

Lieberjosch: Whatever. Just go back to the ring.

Mitchell: Introducing the second member of their team...

As "Paparazzi" by Lady GaGa plays, purple strobe lighting pulsates through the arena. Roxy makes the crowd wait a few eager moments before emerging from behind the entrance curtain.

Taking a second to stand at the top of the entrance ramp, Roxy pulls her Gucci sunglasses down her nose enough to look over them and around at the rowdy crowd. She leans over at the waist with her hand on her hip, exaggeratedly looking from left to right and then back again before standing up straight and blowing kisses to everyone before she locks arms with Angelica.

Vinegar: That degree of unity is going to be hard to overcome.

Lieberjosch: When it comes down to winning at shot at the World Championship, I guarantee that their “unity” will go right out of the window.

Mitchell Dennis: Introducing the THIRD member of their team!

As the music hits and strobe lights flash frenetically, The Captain arrives on the stage wearing a pink vinyl jacket that has been airbrushed with “80” in periwinkle and bedazzled, tassels hanging from the entire length of his arms. The jacket has remarkable shoulder pads which are covered by purple epaulets, and giant gold buttons line the front though he wears it opened. His facepaint takes on the shape of a comically large, brightly colored eyepatch over his right eye. He wears a headband under his severely teased blond hair, featuring a blue anchor over a red rising sun. On his right hand is a disco-ball-esque glove. His Zubaz tear-away pants feature blue stripes before they disappear into his white, calf-high, heeled boots. He stops a few steps from Angelica and Roxy, produces a ludicrously long, telescoping, brass spyglass, and looks over the crowd, then swings over and stops on Roxy. He affects a surprised look, then points at Roxy, and invites “First Mate” Roxy to help him remove his extra attire. Roxy helps him remove his jacket, headband, and pants with great enthusiasm to reveal his bright yellow trunks, yellow tassels around his biceps, and yellow wrist tape.

Lieberjosch: She has absolutely no dignity. Look at how she’s drooling over him.

Covert Jay: You’re just jealous.

Lieberjosch: Of her?

Covert Jay: No. Of him. He has that smoking hot woman drooling over him.

Lieberjosch: You can’t be serious.

Covert Jay: As a heart attack.

Lieberjosch: Then please have one.

Vinegar: That’s enough, Hans. Let’s go back to the ring.

Mitchell: Introducing the fourth member of their team...

Vinegar: Some consider this one to be the weak link...

Lieberjosch: Well, for someone who resents not being taken as the threat that she thinks she is, choosing the “silent approach” before the second biggest pay-per-view of the year wasn’t a smart decision.

Vinegar: We’ll see. She might surprise everyone.

Lieberjosch: How? By actually showing up?

Covert Jay: That would surprise me!

Lieberjosch: The sun coming up surprises you.

Covert Jay: What if it gets lost?! The universe is a big place.

Lieberjosch: Sometimes I wonder how you haven’t forgotten the necessity of breathing.

The instrumental opening of 'Break my Mind" begins playing as the fans begin to boo. The lights in the arena go out as a dull flicker of the lights momentarily light up the ramps. Elizabeth Blackwell comes out onto the stage, glares at her teammates and then walks down the ramp slowly, almost like she is teleporting between flickers of the lights until she gets to the ring. She climbs inside and walks to the corner, jumping on the top rope to wait for the match to start.

Vinegar: That’s not a good sign.

Lieberjosch: I read that sign as “fuck off”, if you’ll pardon my pedestrian speech.

Vinegar: Crass but accurate, Doc.

Lieberjosch: Thank you.

Vinegar: Now it’s time for Mitchell to introduce their opponents.

Mitchell: And their opponents. Introducing first the Captain of Team Lockheart...

The deep heartbeat bass of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” drops over the arena’s public announce speakers as the artist Magdalena Lockheart emerges from behind the curtain. Magdalena steps out into the center of an emerald spotlight wearing a long black dress. For a moment she stands at the top of the stage and applies a dark cherry lipstick to her lips with the aid of a pocket mirror. The ramp in front of her lights up like a model’s runway. She stops and looks back at the curtain.

Vinegar: Magdalena looks ready.

Lieberjosch: She already said that she’d forget about the Cross-Hemisphere Championship if she claims the World Championship. That’ll be a tall order.

Vinegar: Yes, but Magdalena has shown great resilience.

Mitchell: Introducing the first member of her team...

The opening strums of "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" begin to blare as the strobes pulse with the beat. Once the lyrics begin, Dave Rydell steps out onto the stage, with his half of the UGWC Co-Operative Championship slung over his right shoulder. He stops next to Sarah and waits.

Vinegar: This new focused Dave Rydell is extremely dangerous and now that he's one-half of the Co-Operative Champions he'll be

Lieberjosch: Insufferable?

Vinegar: No. Motivated, dangerous, focused...

Lieberjosch: I like mine better.

Vinegar: Of course you do.

Mitchell Dennis: And the third member of Team Lockheart...

“Gimme Your Applause” by Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, & Christina Aguilera begins to play as lightbulbs flash all through the arena. Kenzi Grey walks out with a confident smile for the fans. An explosion of pyro erupts as she strikes a pose for the cameras. Kenzi’s mother and manager, Sidney Grey walks out to a chorus of boos with her massive bodyguard Maxine, flanking Kenzi as they head out onto the stage. She walks up next to Sarah and awaits the final member of the team.

Vinegar: This is an excellent and well balanced team. It could go all the way.

Lieberjosch: It has Rydell and Pierce. It won't.

Vinegar: Stop being so negative. Just because you don't like them, does't mean that they stink. Their resumes say otherwise.

Mitchell Dennis: And introducing the final member of Team Lockheart...

Mitchell Dennis: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS TEAM LOCKHEARRRRRT!!!!

Vinegar: Both teams look ready to go as Team Lockheart walks to the ring and gets ready to start.

Lieberjosch: Hopefully they hurry up so we can get this going.

Vinegar: They're all to the ring and it looks like Travis Pierce and Elizabeth Blackwell will start the match.

Lieberjosch: Is it just me, or is this a terrible mismatch.

Vinegar: Blackwell needs to stop arguing with her teammates about who’s going to start and focus on the task at hand..

Covert Jay: Oh wow!

Lieberjosch: Angelica had stepped in to start, but Blackwell grabbed her and smacked her in the face!

Vinegar: Hazel counted it as a tag!

Lieberjosch: Roxy looks like she wants to choke Blackwell for it and Captain 80s is...yelling like an idiot.

Vinegar: Angelica just stepped through the ropes and told Blackwell that the start is all her’s.

Covert Jay: There’s the bell!

Vinegar: Who knows, Blackwell might surpr…

Covert Jay: “The Truth Hurts”!!!

Vinegar: Hazel drops for the count!

1….

2….

3….

Mitchell Dennis: Elizabeth Blackwell has been ELIMINATED!!!

ELIMINATED: Elizabeth Blackwell.

Lieberjosch: You were saying?

Vinegar: Yeah… nevermind.

Covert Jay: That was...abrupt.

Vinegar: Captain 80s steps into the ring and #TeamVaughnemous finds itself down a member already.

Covert Jay: You said “member”...

Lieberjosch: Can you try and pretend to be a serious commentator?

Covert Jay: I could.

Vinegar: Captain 80s walks to center ring and yells to the fans, who yell back. Pierce rolls his eyes and tells the Captain to pay attention.

Lieberjosch: Captain 80s is an idiot. Pierce has every right to roll his eyes at his shenanigans.

Vinegar: The two circle in center ring and lock up. They push back and forth for a few moments before Captain 80s uses his supreme power to almost launch Pierce across the ring.

Lieberjosch: The man’s an idiot, but he is absurdly powerful.

Vinegar: Captain 80s barrels towards the corner looking for a clothesline.

Covert Jay: The big dude can move.

Lieberjosch: That wasn’t eloquent, but is accurate.

Vinegar: Pierce moves and Captain 80s slams chest first into the corner! He stumbles back out and Pierce flattens him with a falling sleeper slam. He runs up and leaps onto the turnbuckle

Lieberjosch: It looks like he’s going for the “Piercing Blow”!

Vinegar: If he hits this, The Captain is done for!

Lieberjosch: What the hell is that idiot doing?!!

Vinegar: Rydell just tagged himself in and Pierce yells at him incredulously! Rydell tells him to step out and shut up while Magdalena just tries to keep the peace!

Lieberjosch: I knew this would happen. Rydell and Pierce detest each other. I just thought it would take a little longer for one of those egomaniacs to screw everything up by letting his ego get in the way.

Vinegar: Hazel tells Pierce to get out of the ring and he finally does so although begrudgingly. Rydell turns around, walks over to the Captain and promptly whacks him in the mouth.

Lieberjosch: That wasn’t smart.

Vinegar: He winds up and does it again.

Lieberjosch: It seems to be firing the Captain up.

Vinegar: Rydell punches him a third time and the Captain is up to his feet and breathing heavily through his mouth.

Covert Jay: He’s Captaining up!

Lieberjosch: Where have I heard that before? Are you sure that’s not gimmick infringement?

Covert Jay: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Lieberjosch: You normally don’t.

Vinegar: Rydell winds up and lays in with another vicious punch, but the Captain seems to not feel it as he lets loose with a thunderous yell and flexes his massive arms at Rydell.

Lieberjosch: Rydell doesn’t look impressed.

Vinegar: The Captain grabs Rydell by the shoulders and lifts him right off of the mat. Rydell struggles against his grip.

Lieberjosch: His legs are just kicking in the air like a kid.

Vinegar: The Captain spins and turns to throw him into the corner…

Lieberjosch: Chop block by Pierce!

Vinegar: #TeamVaughnemous yells at Hazel to get him out of the ring and she yells at him to get back to his corner. He glares at Hazel, then pulls The Captai up and drops him with a double underhook backbreaker before he grabs Rydell by the shoulders, pulls him back to their corner and slaps himself into the match.

Covert Jay: That was some...tag.

Lieberjosch: He “tagged” him alright…

Vinegar: Hazel counts it as a tag and now it’s Rydell’s turn to be furious at his partner. Pierce steps in and gestures for him to get the hell out, then turns to Captain 80s.

Lieberjosch: The Captain is still down from that chop block and backbreaker.

Vinegar: Pierce runs over and drops an elbow. He’s immediately back to his feet and drops another elbow, followed by a fist drop. He pulls the Captain to his feet and whips him over with a snap suplex.

Lieberjosch: The Captain is reeling. Pierce has a chance to finish him off.

Vinegar: Roxy is trying to motivate The Captain by yelling words of encouragement to him from the outside.

Lieberjosch: It doesn’t seem to be working.

Vinegar: Pierce pulls The Captain to his feet and whips himself into his Team Lockheart’s corner. He reaches out to tag Magdalena…

Covert Jay: Tag from Rydell!

Lieberjosch: That’s a very liberal interpretation of “tag” but sure, we’ll go with that.

Vinegar: Rydell leaps up into the top rope.

Lieberjosch: This could be a mistake.

Vinegar: Flipping neckbreaker! The Captain is down and Rydell looks like he’s going to go back to his corner, but thinks better of it and leaps onto the far corner.

Lieberjosch: Captain 80s isn’t exactly at center ring. I’m not sure if Rydell can make this leap.

Vinegar: We’re about to find out.

Covert Jay: Air Dave!

Lieberjosch: It’s a good thing that you’re not in the marketing department.

Vinegar: Rydell Bomb! He leaps to his feet and smiles.

Lieberjosch: I think we’re about to see the “Virus of Life”.

Vinegar: Captain 80s grabs the bottom rope and begins to pull himself up.

Lieberjosch: He’s moving gingerly.

Covert Jay: Ginger? Where?

Lieberjosch: Do you always have to be this stupid?

Covert Jay: You mentioned “ginger”. I don’t see a ginger anywhere. Do you have any ginger?

Lieberjosch: Stop...talking...

Vinegar: Captain 80s is up to the second rope.

Lieberjosch: Rydell is practically salivating to put him away.

Vinegar: Captain 80s pulls himself up to the third rope. He turns and staggers out to center ring as Roxy yells at him to look out for Rydell.

Covert Jay: Ka POW!!!

Lieberjosch: Did you just yell “Ka pow”?

Covert Jay: No, I yelled “Ka POW”. Get it right.

Vinegar: Captain 80s turns…

Covert Jay: Virus of Life!!

Vinegar: Hazel drops for the cover!

1...

2...

Vinegar: Roxy breaks it up at the last minute!

Lieberjosch: She just barely saved him.

Vinegar: Rydell gets to his feet and shoots her a glare. He demands that Hazel get her out of the ring.

Lieberjosch: Hazel doesn’t look impressed by his direction giving, but she turns and tells Roxy to get out of the ring.

Fans: Ohhhhh!!!!

Covert Jay: LOW BRIDGE!!

Vinegar: That was unnecessary!

Lieberjosch: It was smart. It took Captain 80s to his knees and has him vulnerable to another “Virus of Life”.

Vinegar: It was a cheap shot, even if it was effective.

Lieberjosch: That’s all that matters.

Vinegar: Rydell lines Captain 80s up… The Captain staggers to his feet…

Covert Jay: VIRUS OF LIFE!!!

Vinegar: He drops into the cover. Hazel goes down for the pin!

Fans: ONE!!

Covert Jay: TWO!!

Vinegar: THREE!!

Mitchell Dennis: Captain 80s has been ELIMINATED!!!

Eliminated: Captain 80s.

Vinegar: Roxy steps into the ring and immediately gets into Rydell’s face. She’s furious that he eliminated Captain 80s.

Lieberjosch: I don’t understand her fascination with that drooling idiot.

Covert Jay: She thinks he’s not. What’s complicated about that?

Lieberjosch: I get that. But the man’s a total doorknob.

Covert Jay: She thinks he’s hot.

Lieberjosch: Again, I get that. It still doesn’t make sense.

Covert Jay: She...thinks...he’s...

Vinegar: Gentlemen, if we could?

Lieberjosch: Quite right. Back to the action.

Vinegar: Thank you. Roxy gets right up in Rydell’s face and proceeds to dress him down for eliminating her favorite eye candy.

Lieberjosch: Rydell just laughed in her face.

Vinegar: Rydell reaches out to grab her, but Roxy ducks under it and pokes him in the eye. I don’t think Hazel saw it because Rydell’s body blocked her.

Lieberjosch: Turnabout is fair play.

Vinegar: Roxy grabs Rydell, leaps and goes for a quick “Muff Driver”. She leaps to her feet and waits for him to struggle to his knees. As soon as she does, she bounces off of the ropes and connects with a quick hip attack that almost takes him back down again.

Lieberjosch: She needs to keep moving. If she can keep him off balance and wear him down, she can beat him through simple physical exhaustion.

Vinegar: She appears to have the same idea in mind as she connects with a quick Shining Wizard, then pulls him up and drives his head into the mat with a hurricanrana driver. She leaps up onto the top rope and flies off…

Covert Jay: Somersault knee drop!

Vinegar: Roxy roughly yanks Rydell to his feet, turns him around and wraps an arm around his head.

Lieberjosch: It looks like she’s going for the Double D-DT!

Vinegar: She pats him on the side of the head…. Double D-DT!

Covert Jay: There’s the pin and Hazel with the count!

Fans: ONE!

Vinegar: TWO!!

Lieberjosch: THR...Magdalena breaks it up!

Vinegar: That saved her from losing a second team member.

Lieberjosch: It brought Rydell a few seconds. He needs to get to his corner.

Vinegar: Roxy gets to her feet and shoots a quick glare at Magdalena. Magdalena smiles back and points out that it’s now four-on-two. Roxy shrugs and turns…

Lieberjosch: “Tip of the Spear”!

Vinegar: Both of them are down and they need to get to their corners!

Lieberjosch: The next tag could lead to an elimination!

Vinegar: Both begin to crawl to their corners. Neither is moving all that fast, while their partners hang over the top rope and yell at them to tag them in!

Lieberjosch: Rydell is moving a little faster. He’s clearly more tired, but the impact from his spear nearly took Roxy out of her boots.

Covert Jay: I wish it had taken her out of more than that.

Lieberjosch: Stop being gosh.

Vinegar: Rydell is almost to his corner. He leaps out to tag Kenzi…

Covert Jay: Pierce leaps in front of her and smacks him right in the face!

Lieberjosch: These two could explode at any moment.

Vinegar: They’d better get it together, because Roxy is almost to her corner.

Lieberjosch: True.

Vinegar: Pierce notices at the last minute and shoves Rydell out of his way.

Covert Jay: His shove spent Rydell through the middle rope and he just crashed into the floor!

Vinegar: That may prove to be a costly mistake.

Lieberjosch: Indeed it might.

Vinegar: Pierce darts across the ring…

Covert Jay: Too late!

Vinegar: Roxy tags Angelica and she leaps up onto the top rope…

Covert Jay: Top rope clothesline!

Lieberjosch: That was impressive.

Vinegar: It was ant it totally flattened Pierce! He flies into the corner...Angelica breaks into a run and bounces off of the far ropes...

Covert Jay: CANNONBALL!

Lieberjosch: Pierce’s head just smacked off of the turnbuckle. Angelica drags him out of the corner...roundhouse to the head! Pierce is reeling! She backs up a few steps and waits for him...Pierce gets to his knee and slowly gets to his feet….

Covert Jay: He looks wobbly.

Lieberjosch: You would too if your head just smacked off of the turnbuckle and then ate someone’s foot.

Vinegar: Pierce staggers to his feet...Angelica runs across the ring...SICK KICK! Pierce is back down! Angelica drops into the pin!

Lieberjosch: Pierce might be out! Eliminating him would level the playing field a little.

Vinegar: ONE!!

Covert Jay: TWO!!!

Lieberjosch: THR….NO!!! Magdalena breaks it up!

Vinegar: Angelica rolls off of Pierce.

Covert Jay: Molly Go Round from Roxy!

Lieberjosch: The move catapulted Magdalena from the ring! Angelica is lining up Pierce for “#Vaughnemous”!

Vinegar: Pierce slowly crawls to his hands and feet….Angelica springs forward...#VAUGHNEMOUS!!!

Covert Jay: Did you hear the impact on that kick?

Lieberjosch: Everyone in downtown Pittsburgh heard it.

Vinegar: Pierce topples over and Angelica drops down for the pin!

Covert Jay: ONE!

Vinegar: TWO!!

FANS: THREE!!!

Mitchell Dennis: Travis Pierce has been ELIMINATED!!!

Eliminated: Travis Pierce

Vinegar: Kenzi steps into the ring as Pierce rolls out to the floor. She and Angelica briefly shake hands and then being to circle each other.

Lieberjosch: A handshake? What the hell is that?

Vinegar: A sign of respect.

Lieberjosch: I want to see none of that!

Vinegar: Oh shut up! Angelica and Kenzi finally lock up and Angelica uses her superior strength and height to pull Kenzi into a side headlock. The two struggle for a moment before Kenzi leans back and pushes Angelica off and into the ropes. Angelica bounces off and on the return takes Kenzi down with a shoulder block.

Lieberjosch: Angelica very wisely used her superior height to knock Kenzi off balance. Kenzi is fresh into the match while Angelica hasn’t exerted that much so far. It’ll be fascinating to see how this shapes up.

Vinegar: The two members of The Cool Kids tie up again. The struggle back and forth for a moment before Angelica gets the upper hand and and slings Kenzi over with a side headlock takedown. Kenzi struggles against the hold and finally finally manages to pull herself to the ropes and force a break.

Lieberjosch: Good ring awareness by Kenzi.

Vinegar: Yup. Kenzi gets to her feet and the two women go to lock up again but Kenzi ducks under it, leaps up and drops Angelica with a slingblade. She leaps up, pulls Angelica up and lands a piledriver, which she follows up with a quick DDT. She runs back to bounce off of the ropes…

Lieberjosch: And now she’s outside.

Vinegar: I can’t tell if Roxy did that intentionally or not. She still looks dazed from the hit she took earlier.

Lieberjosch: It doesn’t matter if she meant to do it or not, it worked.

Vinegar: Angelica looks up and sees that Kenzi is nowhere to be found. She begins to pull herself towards her corner where Roxy has her hand out for a tag. Kenzi begins to stir at the outside, but she landed pretty hard and may have banged her head off of the floor.

Lieberjosch: Angelica is close to making the tag, while Kenzi is all alone.

Vinegar: Where’s Rydell going?

Lieberjosch: Around the ring.

Vinegar: I can see that.

Lieberjosch: Then why did you ask?

Vinegar: Must you be a pedantic ass?

Lieberjosch: When it suits me to be.

Vinegar: Rydell just yanked Roxy off of the apron!

Lieberjosch: Good thinking. Meanwhile Magdalena looks torn in her corner. She’s not the type to cheat, but now might be the time.

Vinegar: Hazel yells at Rydell to get back to his corner and he sneers at her before he pulls Kenzi up and rolls her back into the ring. Hazel leans over the rope and begins a disqualification count as Rydell walks back to his corner. Angelica looks up and sees that her partner is gone and looks terribly confused.

Lieberjosch: I don’t know how much it did Magdalena’s team, but at the very least it brought Kenzi a few seconds to recover.

Vinegar: Angelica keeps crawling to her corner while Kenzi slowly starts to get to her feet. She’s clearly dazed. Can we see if her head hit the floor if we look back at the video?

Lieberjosch: There she goes toppling from the ring…

Vinegar: Right there! Her head smacked hard off of the floor.

Lieberjosch: It explains why she’s so glassy eyed right now.

Vinegar: She staggers across the ring, but is clearly disoriented. Meanwhile, Roxy is back up in her corner and Angelica is almost there.

Covert Jay: Both Magdalena and Rydell are yelling at her to try and her to their corner.

Lieberjosch: It appears to be confusing her more than it’s helping her.

Vinegar: Angelica leaps up and slaps Roxy on the hand. She flies across the ring and dropkicks Rydell off of the apron and to the floor, then kips up and punches Magdalena right in the face.
Lieberjosch: Good move. She took them both out. She needed to do that.

Vinegar: We’ll agree to disagree. At any rate, Kenzi stumbles around and Roxy looks at her sadly.

Covert Jay: Did she just say “I’m sorry”?

Vinegar: It looks that way.

Covert Jay: Double D-DT!

Lieberjosch: She’s about to even the odds a bit more!

Vinegar: ONE!

Fans: TWO!!

Lieberjosch: THREE!!!

Mitchell Dennis: Kenzi Gray-Lacklan has been ELIMINATED!!

Eliminated: Kenzi Gray- Lacklan

Lieberjosch: That could cause some friction.

Vinegar: Roxy eliminates Kenzi and she looks extremely concerned over her friend’s health after that nasty spill she took.

Lieberjosch: One has to wonder how this will affect their chase to regain the Co-Operative Championships.

Vinegar: Rydell leaps into the ring, grabs Roxy by her hair and yanks her to the canvas. He mounts her and begins to rain down punch after punch on her.

Lieberjosch: He needs to be aggressive. If he can eliminate Roxy, Angelica will be on her own against him and a completely fresh Magdalena. She’s very wisely stayed on the outside.

Vinegar: He continues to hammer away at her until Hazel tells him to stop. He ignores her and continues to hammer at Roxy, seemingly becoming angrier with each strike. Hazel finally steps in and shoves him off so that she can check on Roxy, who’s now bleeding from the head.

Lieberjosch: Rydell had better keep his cool here.

Vinegar: He’s pacing back and forth like a caged animal as Hazel checks on Roxy.

Lieberjosch: He’d better keep it under control.

Vinegar: I agree. Meanwhile Angelica and Magdalena both look a little concerned. Magdalena yells at him to get control over himself.

Fans: BOOOOO!!!!

Lieberjosch: I think he’s beginning to crack.

Vinegar: That double bird was unnecessary.

Lieberjosch: Magdalena just clenched her jaw. That obviously hit a nerve and now he’s in their corner shouting at her. That’s pretty stupid.

Vinegar: He’s been very controlled and methodical until now. This is a terrible time to loose his focus and get into it with his own team captain.

Lieberjosch: Yes, especially since as he’s done that, Roxy has recovered, crawled to her corner and tagged Angelica back in.

Vinegar: Magdalena is yelling at him that she’s back in, but Rydell won’t listen! He continues to yell that he doesn’t have to take orders from some...wow. He didn’t just say that, did he?

Lieberjosch: He said it, alright.

Vinegar: But we won’t.

Lieberjosch: No. No we won’t.

Covert Jay: Wow!

Lieberjosch: Magdalena responded to it correctly, she just shrugged and put her hands up.

Vinegar: Rydell turns around to walk back into the ring...SICK KICK!!!! Angelica does’t give him any room to breathe, she immediately drives a stiff kick into his chest, then runs back to her corner, bounces off of it and drills him into the corner with a cannonball. She pulls him out and drops down for the cover.

Lieberjosch: One!

Covert Jay: TWO!!

Vinegar: THRE...NO! Magdalena breaks it up!

Lieberjosch: If you watch, she immediately stepped back out onto the apron. Angelica pulls him back closer to her corner and drives another kick into his chest, followed by one that catches him flush in the temple. Rydell drops to his hands and knees….

Covert Jay: #VAUGHNEMOUS!!!

Lieberjosch: Waiter, check please! Rydell table!

Vinegar: Angelica drops down onto him and here’s Hazel for the count!

Covert Jay: ONE!!!

Fans: TWO!!!

Lieberjosch: Here comes Magdalena to break it up, but she’s intercepted by Roxy!

Vinegar: THREE!!!

Mitchell Dennis: Dave Rydell has been ELIMINATED!!!

Eliminated: Dave Rydell

Vinegar: I don’t think that Roxy landed well when she took out Magdalena. Angelica gets up and walks over to check on her and she pulls her to her feet.

Covert Jay: Roxy just elbowed Angelica and knocked her back into her own corner!

Lieberjosch: Why the hell did Hazel count that as a tag?

Vinegar: I have no idea, but she’s legal now and Magdalena is back to her feet. She sees the stunned Roxy standing in center ring...she leaps…

Covert Jay: Event Horizon!!

Lieberjosch: Lacrimosa!!

Vinegar: She drops down for the pin and Angelica is still down in her corner.

Covert Jay: ONE!!

Lieberjosch: TWO!!

Fans: THREE...NO!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

Vinegar: How in the hell did Roxy kick out of that?

Lieberjosch: I have no idea, but Magdalena isn’t wasting any time figuring it out.

Vinegar: Not at all! She just delivered a second “Lacrimosa” to Roxy!

Covert Jay: There’s no way she kicks out of this.

Lieberjosch: We’ll find out soon!

Vinegar: ONE!!!

Lieberjosch: TWO!!!

Fans: THREE!!!!

Mitchell Dennis: ROXY COTTON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Eliminated: Roxy Cotton

Vinegar: She put forth a herculean effort tonight and I bet that she impressed a lot of people.

Lieberjosch: I couldn’t believe that she kicked out of the “Lacrimosa”.

Vinegar: I couldn’t either. And now we’re down to the two Captains. Magdalena has to have the advantage. Angelica has been in and out of this match almost the entire way and she has to be tired.

Lieberjosch: Angelica is going to have to pull off a miracle at this point.

Vinegar: I wouldn’t call it a miracle, but it’s going to take a legendary effort given the disadvantage she’s at.

Lieberjosch: Both women are to their feet and realize that we’re near the end. The woman who gets the win gets a shot at the World Championship later. The loser gets nothing and is a loser.

Vinegar: Neither woman is a loser beyond the sense of taking a loss. No matter what happens, both of these women have had great nights.

Lieberjosch: Whatever. If one loses here and the other doesn’t win the World Championship, then they’re both losers.
Vinegar: You’re an awful person sometimes. At any the two young women who could be the future of this business are both up and circling each other. They do so for a few moments before the engage in a collar and elbow tie up. The push back and forth for a few moments before Angelica suddenly drops down and rolls Magdalena up!

Lieberjosch: That’s an excellent strategy! If she can catch Magdalena by surprise, she could beat her!

Vinegar: Hazel drops to the mat.

Covert Jay: One!

Lieberjosch: Kick out by Magdalena.

Vinegar: Magdalena pops to her feet and drives a foot into Angelica’s stomach that doubles her over, then leaps up and drives a knee into the side of her head. Angelica topples over onto the mat and Magdalena drops down for the pin.

Lieberjosch: Angelica kicks out at one.

Covert Jay: How?

Vinegar: She’s a fierce competitor.

Covert Jay: Magdalena pulls her from the mat.

Vinegar: She lands a series of palm strikes, then whips her into the ropes. Angelica bounces back but never gets a chance to do anything with it as Magdalena hits her with a leaping forearm that sends her to the mat. Magdalena is on her immediately and lands a hammerdrop elbow to the side of Angelica’s head.

Lieberjosch: Nice transition onto a knee bar. If she takes her legs away from her, she can neutralize the “#Vaughenmous” kick.

Vinegar: It’s a smart thing to do. She releases the hold, flips Angelica over, pulls her up and slams her knee first into the canvas. Angelica yells in pain but can’t get away as Magdalena pulls hr up and wraps her arms around Angelica from behind.

Lieberjosch: What is she doing?

Vinegar: Based on the way she has Angelica’s right knee positions, she looks like she’s going to run it into the turnbuckle.

Lieberjosch: That exactly what she does!

Vinegar: You don’t have to sound so happy about it.

Lieberjosch: I’m not happy, I just appreciate good strategy.

Vinegar: Magdalena immediately spins around, sits out and drives Angelica’s knees straight into the mat.

Covert Jay: Angelica is trying to fight back, but her attempted elbow strikes don’t have a lot behind them now.

Vinegar: She’s been in this match for a long time. She has to be exhausted.

Lieberjosch: I’m certain that she is.

Vinegar: Magdalena pulls her up and goes to slam her down onto her knees again but Angelica gets an arm loose and runs it up behind Magdalena’s head!

Lieberjosch: This might not save her the pain of having her knees slammed into the mat again, but it could give her a few seconds to recover.

Vinegar: Magdalena drops Angelica down to slam her onto her knees again…

Covert Jay: Stunner!

Vinegar: Magdalena literally dropped her that time. Angelica grabs her knee in pain, but manages to push herself back to her feet.

Lieberjosch: She just fell back into the ropes. Her knees might be hurt worse than we thought.

Vinegar: Magdalena recovers from the stunner, pulls herself up by the top rope and charges at Angelica.

Lieberjosch: “EW!” Angelica surprised her with her Mandible Claw!

Vinegar: Magdalena struggles against it for a few moments, then wraps her arms around Angelica, pushes up and over and drops her onto the back of her head with a massive belly to back suplex.

Lieberjosch: Now’s her opening! She can put Angelica away now!

Covert Jay: Do you think she can hear you?
Lieberjosch: No, I don’t think she can hear me and if she’s really fortunate, she can’t hear you.

Vinegar: Magdalena kips up to her feet and waits and Angelica begins to stir.

Lieberjosch: We might be seeing another “Lacrimosa”!

Covert Jay: Did you say “Mimosa”?

Lieberjosch: No, you idiot. I said “Lacrimosa”.

Covert Jay: I’d prefer a Mimosa.

Lieberjosch: I’d want something stronger so that you’d be easier to endure.

Vinegar: Angelica struggles to her hands and knees...Magdalena leaps up… LACRIMOSA!!!

Covert Jay: Magdalena drops into the cover…

Lieberjosch: ONE!!

Covert Jay: TWO!!!

Fans: OHHHH!!!!!

Vinegar: Angelica kicked out, even if only barely.!

Lieberjosch: That was easily a two and nine point five tenths.

Vinegar: It was. Magdalena looks both dumbfounded and a bit impressed.

Lieberjosch: Angelica has shown time and time again that she’s tough. At this point though it would be better if she was smart and stayed down.

Vinegar: It’s not in her DNA. She wants to win, just like all competitors.

Lieberjosch: Well, it might lead to her getting her head kicked into next week.

Vinegar: Maybe, but as long as she gives it her all, I doubt that she’ll care.

Lieberjosch: That makes her foolish.

Vinegar: Again, I disagree. Magdalena bends over and grabs Angelica by the shoulders…

Covert Jay: Why’d she stiffen?!

Vinegar: “EW!!!”. Angelica got her mandible claw in! Magdalena is struggling to breathe against it.

Lieberjosch: She’d better figure out something soon!

Covert Jay: She looks like it’s starting to cause her to pass out!

Vinegar: It is!

Lieberjosch: If she doesn’t think of something soon, she’s going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Vinegar: Her knees are already starting to weaken…

Lieberjosch: Her hands are moving. As long as that’s happening, she’s still dangerous!

Vinegar: True! She could… bell clap!

Lieberjosch: She could do that.

Vinegar: Indeed. The two women roll a few inches apart as they both struggle to catch their breath.

Covert Jay: I didn’t expect this much fight out of Angie. She’s been impressive.

Vinegar: Yes she has and Magdalena has shown a lot of wisdom in letting her team do most of the early wrestling so she could conserve her strength.

Lieberjosch: Yes, there’s some luck in that, but overall I agree.

Vinegar: Both women are slowly struggling to their feet. Magdalena seems to be recovering a little faster. She finally gets to her feet and notices that Angelica is still struggling to get to her’s because of her sore knees. Magdalena sticks her toe under Angelica’s chin, then spins and drives the ball of her foot into the side of Angelica’s head. Angie goes over like she’s been shot and Magdalena falls down for the pin.

One!!!

Covert Jay: Two!!!

Fans: THREE!!!!

Mitchell Dennis: Angelica Vaughn has been ELIMINATED!!! Therefore the winner of this Outlast match and entant into the MAIN EVENT for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.... MAGDALENA LOCKHEART!!!

Eliminated: Angelica Vaughn

Winner: Magdalena Lockheart

Team Lockheart - 7.24

Team #Vaughemous - 6.82

[Lord Hastings]

Dennis: The following contest is an Outlast Qualifier. Those teammates who are remaining after all four members of the opposing team has been eliminated will move on to the main event! 

'Crosses And Lines' starts to bleed into the PA system, and out comes Cazador. He strolls out almost lazily, lights strobing and his footage reel playing behind him, all that business. He's in no hurry to get to the ring, instead just moving at a snail's pace while looking around, reading the signs, doing last minute stretches, etc. 

This ends when he gets to the very end of the entrance ramp, where he stands there and looks around one final time. Then, he crouches down and the very next second, he's leaping from the concrete, all the way to the nearest turnbuckle, usually the one on his right. Doesn't even touch the ring apron, instead he just quickly climbs up to the very top, hopping back down into the ring. He's right back to his old lazy pace while inside, waiting for the match to start. 

The opening chords to "Ridicule" by American Head Charge plays softly as the lights dim, silver and red spotlights alternating from the stage down the ramp to the ring. The frontman opens up, murmuring the opening lyrics as a sort of chant. As the chant crescendos, a guitar riff cuts in, then the only thing heard is the frontman's chants with no music behind them: 

"All my needs giving in. Blow me a kiss and leave me to the DOGS"

Rogan steps from the curtain and spreads his arms, walking through the first silver spotlight and making his way to the red spotlight. The lyrics to the first verse intensify, and Rogan's determined stare towards the ring intensifies as well. He climbs to the apron and turns, bringing his hands up in a single swipe, with his fingers in the shape of scissors, closing his fingers as if cutting invisible strings. He takes a moment to look around at the fans before climbing through the ropes and stepping into the middle of the ring. He takes in the atmosphere again, then kneels to one knee, placing a single palm down on the canvas, showing respect for the ring in which he competes. 

The lights in the arena flicker and then lower as familiar hunting horns call over the speakers, the intro to "The Devil and the Huntsman" sounding. One lone horn extends and trails off and for a brief moment, a faint image of an owl is shown on the GlobalTron before the image is shattered as a snake strikes through it, fangs displayed, venom dripping from them. Everything drops to black before extremely bright white light flashes and illuminates while a haunting voice sing/speaks over the sound system. The GlobalTron shows flashes of Gabriel Baal and Eden Morgan, in the ring and out, ruthless acts, highlights of their careers, some of which meant facing each other, interspersed with snake nests in parts or snakes slowly creeping up ancient structures. 

A young man came from hunting faint, tired, and weary

What does ail my Lord, my dearie?

Oh, brother dear, let my bed be made

For I feel the gripe of the woody nightshade..

The rising tension of the words and the song trail off with what sounds like the rattle of a snake's tail. The arena drops to black again, the bright white lights now centered on the stage as the full force of the song hits, Gabriel Baal and Eden Morgan standing side by side on it. The two of them have their heads lowered, raising them as one and moving down the ramp, each with a smirk on their faces. They move to opposite sides of the ring and slide in from under the bottom rope, rolling to the center and standing together to face their opponents and the audience. 

Dennis: Introducing first, representing Team Baal, Captain Gabriel Baal presents Eden Morgan, Rogan MacLean, and CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZADOR!!!! 

Vinegar: I have high hopes for the team consisting of former members of The Court and The Engine of Chaos. Three out of four have worked together extensively in the past in one way or another, and although they may not be on the same page, you can easily see their styles meshing in a more cohesive way than the team they’re opposing tonight. 

Lieberjosch: Couldn’t disagree with you more, Nick. People have said that everyone on team Necron is out for themselves, but these are three of the most selfish and self-serving competitors I’ve ever seen on our roster. 

Covert Jay: I don’t even know which one of you is play by play or color anymore… 

Vinegar: How about the X-factor that the gargantuan Cazador represents? 

Lieberjosch: You mean the non-factor? He’s man-defense against Necron, who is going to see him as an upsized meal and eat him alive.  

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. 

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, Jet lights out at a run down the ramp, explosions on either side shooting toward the rafters in his wake while the song kicks in properly. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope and leaps to his feet. 

Come no further, you won't go far



I'm running around in circles once again



If you can't forgive me, I won't take it very hard



But I won't make it easy in the end

Jet takes a turn on each corner post, commanding the attention of the crowd as he holds his arms above his head in a V shape, palms out. 

So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead



And shatter every legend in my head



If only the contented will survive



Is anybody here still left alive?

After he's finished at the fourth turnbuckle, Jet returns to the center of the ring, allowing the song to close on on Taylor proclaiming over and over: 

This is mine



Mine



Mine



Mine

Richard Vaughn, dressed in a pompous attire of puffy reds and blacks, and wearing a foppy hat, walks out onto the entrance ramp and cries out for all to hear: 

“ALL RISE FOR THE QUEEN OF RED'S PROCESSIONAL! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!”

As the audience is encouraged to stand, a fanfare of trumpets begins “The March of the Queen of Red.” Two lines of men wearing black uniforms with silver pins march down the aisle until the path is filled, then turn to face one another and salute with fists punched to chests. Four large men, with arms bare to show oiled muscles, carry a chair covered in silk. The Queen of Red sits on the chair wearing a robe of red with silver slashes up and down the lengths of her arms. Le Bord de Dieu wears a white mask on her face and her hair is pulled back in an elaborate braid. They are followed by a four-member team of colorguard, two carrying large poles with the flag of Lacklanland, the Purple Fist on a field of black, one with a snare drum slung over a shoulder keeping time, a third carrying The Knocker, the famed maul of the nation’s founder. 

Their procession is painfully slow, forcing every set of eyes to follow them, and each set of soldiers bows low as the Queen of Red’s chair passes by. Once at ringside, she is lifted out of her chair by her strong chairmen and helped into the ring, and is followed the rest of her retinue. Once everyone is in side, Richard Vaughn cries out again: 

“THE QUEEN OF RED REQUESTS THAT ALL RISE FOR THE PLAYING OF THE LACKLANLAND NATION ANTHEM!”

The soldiers all slam fists to chests as the color guard raise the colors of Lacklanand. Le Bord de Dieu stands proudly, her head turned up just above the view of the horizon, as a very distinct instrumental begins to play on the P.A. and a youthful voice with a Londoner accent sings: 

O Lacklanland!

Our home and annexed land!

True subjection the Queen of Red command

With glowing fires we see you rise

The true Champion of Chaos!

From far and wide

O Lacklanland, we raise our fists for thee

God keep our Queen, beautiful and free

O Lacklanland, we raise our fists for thee!

O Lacklanland, we raise our fists for thee!

The guards then take an insanely long amount of time removing the elaborate robe from Le Bord de Dieu as the soldiers and honor guard make their exit 

Phrixus Deimos stalks out to join the rest of his team in the ring. 

The lights flicker out, one by one, and darkness descends upon the arena. A funeral bells tolls, as if from a long distance away, echoing with terrible finality for the dead of Steel City, and the haunting voice of Johnny Cash tells us 

"And I heard a Voice in the midst of the Four Beasts and Behold: A Pale Horse! And His Name that sat on Him, was Death; and Hell followed with Him"

The first few sinister strings of "Everything is Temporary" by Those Poor Bastards begins to play as a cold wind blows, as if from the very Night's Plutonian shores. The big screen flashes highlights of Necron nailing his finishers over his string of recent victories, Is transitions to the highlight of his performance in the Massive Melee, where we see Necron flinging everyone in the ring like ragdolls against the steel cage. The video finally fades to the disturbing highlights of his bloody war for the Chaos title at Wrestlestock, where we see his face become a crimson mask, Necron get caught completely ablaze and still fighting, the horrified look of shock and disbelief on Le Bord Di Dieu's face, and the final image, confident smile of Necron. Out steps the Grim Harvester, to a single bleak spotlight. The voice of Lonesome Wyatt assures us  

"Nothing that you do Will be remembered or remarked



You're just a loathsome stranger Clutching, struggling in the dark"

The gaunt grim titan slowly stalks out onto the stage, a lit coffin nail cigarette hanging from his pale cracked lips. He takes a long slow drag, blowing out tarry charnel smelling smoke into the air. He stares out at the crowds, at the viewers watching from at home, with a look of utter and stark contempt. His horrid, disfigured face is seemingly locked in a permanent scowling sneer.  

Necron descends to ringside, his baleful glare of contempt falling on everyone and everything his cold dead eyes see. He steps up and over the ropes, sliding out of his coat and hat, before he takes one final drag on his cigarette. Necron flicks the smoldering coffin nail down to the mat. He looks up, eyes full of unspeakable hatred, and slowly points with one long bony finger out at the rest of the world. From his mouth of rotten and crooked teeth, he mouths the word "You", with all the venom and vehemence of the foulest curse. Necron then points down to the cigarette, and with sudden terrifying fierceness, savagely stomps down on it, snuffing it out with his boot. 

Dennis: And their opponents, representing Team Necron, Captain Necron presents Jet Somers, Le Bord de Dieu and PHRIXXXXXXXXXXXXXUS DEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMOS!!! 

Vinegar: I don’t understand what Necron was thinking putting together this team. 

Lieberjosch: Three of the most effective and successful fighters UGWC has been home to? Three people who are ruthless competitors in the ring? Two of them who have intimate familiarity with most of the other team? I see your point, Nick. It’s like no thought went into this. 

Vinegar: de Dieu hates Necron, Jet wants nothing to do with the other team, Fear and Jet hate each other. How does this get Necron to the main event? 

Lieberjosch: Oh, Nick, you poor, deluded soul. You actually think Necron’s goal was to get to the main event. You have so much to learn. 

Covert Jay: Why is Fear’s entrance so short? 

Vinegar: One thing is for certain, there are more battle lines and hard feelings in this match to count, and we’re about to watch it all come to a head as Rhombus rings the bell!! 

Eden Morgan and Le Bord de Dieu begin this match, and Bordy wastes no time throwing herself at Morgan, arms pinwheeling with her vicious claws scratching at Morgan. Eden’s arms come up automatically, protecting her face from the seeking claws of Le Bord. Eventually, Eden drops her fists and slams them into stomach of Ave Lacklan, knocking the wind out of her attack. Grabbing her by the back of the head, she quickly steps forward into a bulldog, but Bordy rolls through and back up to her feet. She leaps at Morgan again, this time jabbing her hands into Eden’s hair and springboarding over the ropes to slam The Ice Queen into them as she lands outside safely. Not wasting a moment, The Queen of Red turns and grabs the ankles of Eden, yanking them from under her and sending Morgan to the mat. Eden kicks, knocking Bordy away, then scrambles to her feet to tag in Rogan MacLean. 

Vinegar: High speed action to kick this one off as Le Bord and Eden get a small taste of one another. 

Covert Jay: That wasn’t a taste of Eden. Bordy got the drop on her early, and Eden was on the defensive. 

Lieberjosch: Regardless, let’s see how God’s chosen Champion of Chaos fares against the original Engine of Chaos! 

Le Bord slides back into the ring, and the Engine of Cthulu is already there, stomping away. Eventually, he lets up, lifting her up to fling her into the corner, where he follows up with several running elbow strikes. Step up enziguri from Rogan staggers Le Bord, who falls out of the corner like a sack of bricks. Rogan goes for the first cover in the match. 

1… 

2… 

Covert Jay: Save from Necron who simply punt kicks MacLean off of Aveline!  

Rogan pulls himself up by the ropes, holding his midsection as he stares unbelievably at the hulking carcass of the Grim Harvester. Necron sneers down at him as Bordy returns to her corner to tag in Jet Somers. Somers darts past Necron, baseball sliding into Rogan’s feet, knocking him back down.  

Lieberjosch: Rogan and Jet have had their history. Around this time last year we were seeing them as a surprising Cooperative Champion success.  

Vinegar: Let’s not forget that Rogan MacLean is the reigning Outlast Champion, having defeated Gabriel Baal in 2017. 

Covert Jay: Let’s not forget that his victory was largely thanks to Opie, who is also a former Outlast Champion.  

Jet has mounted MacLean for some ground and pound, but is forced to let up by Chartreuse when Rogan hooks the bottom rope with his leg. The Wild Card pulls Rogan to the center of the ring and attempts to lock in an armbar, but Rogan is ready and executes a fireman’s carry, regaining control. He goes for the legs of the former Court member, attempting to lock in his own submission by applying a Lion Tamer. Jet struggles as MacLean locks it in, but just before he might tap, Somers is able to roll through into a pinning situation on Rogan. 

1… 

2… 

Covert Jay: Rogan kicks out and dives to his corner to tag in Cazador! 

The giant of a man steps into the ring, his face unreadable of course as he quickly stalks over to Jet. Somers bounces on his feet, intending to bring the mountain of a man down with his speed. He launches into a combo of punches, three left jabs and a right hook, but Caza completely no sells it. Jet bounces away, but Cazador has made no overt attack, simply standing there inviting Jet to try again. Opie obliges, carving his way back in with a series of spinning kicks, spinning back fists, and mostly ineffective leg sweeps.  

Vinegar: Cazador finally engages as he lifts Jet up by his glorious hair and locks him into a massive bearhug! 

Jet fights back, trying to get free as he drives knife edged chops into the neck and face of Cazador, but the bigger man doesn’t seem to notice. Eventually, he flips Jet around as easily as a rag doll onto his shoulder, then gorilla press slams him into the corner! 

Lieberjosch: He hasn’t realized his mistake as he powers into the corner for a shoulder block on Somers! 

That’s Team Necron’s corner, and the Harvester blindly tags Jet just before Cazador slams into him, then steps over the ropes and squares up to Caz as the crowd explodes. Somewhere, there’s a gif of Vince McMahon having an orgasm in the ring and falling backward out of a chair in awe of the two big men. Necron headbutts Cazador, and there’s no chance the big guy is going to no sell that. As he stumbles back, Necron’s arm darts out, and the arena takes a collective breath as he’s able to lift his masked foe into the air for a massive chokeslam that shakes the ring and makes the other six competitors and Brian Chartreuse jump! 

Vinegar: He’s not letting up on that choke! 

Down on the mat, Necron continues to grasp the throat of Cazador, who fights and kicks to get free. It takes multiple interventions of Chartreuse, who insists that Necron pin him or let him up, before the Harvester finally relents.  

Lieberjosch: I don’t think he did that so much because Chartreuse insisted, since Necron was actually absently swatting back at the ref like a buzzing fly. He only let Caz up because he got bored of choking him! 

Necron uses the mask of Cazador to lift him back to his feet, pulling him right into a JUDGMENT DAY, then finally covers! 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Cazador 

Vinegar: The first elimination sees team Baal down a man. 

Lieberjosch: That’s team Baal-Morgan, Nick. They’re co-captains. 

Necron turns toward their corner, smiling his broken-toothed smile at Eden in particular, but Baal puts his hand out to stop her, and climbs in himself. His eyes narrow as he approaches, and he pops his neck and knuckles, preparing to do battle with the big sonofabitch. 

Covert Jay: This is going to get ugly. 

Lieberjosch: You’re damn right. Baal has been itching to repay the horrors that Necron visited on Eden, and it looks like he’s undaunted by the sheer size of the man in front of him. 

Vinegar: It will be interesting to see how Baal approaches this fight. His normally impressive arsenal of suplexes is going to be all but useless here. 

Gabriel smirks up at the Harvester, walking around him slowly, drawing his attention away as Eden climbs up on the turnbuckle and launches herself. Eden performs a head-scissor takedown! While Necron is down, Gabriel locks in a sleeper hold and rolls to his back, bringing him up as a shield as Eden climbs again. This time she drives a double footstomp down onto Necron’s chest from the top rope. Gabriel cinches the sleeper in tighter as Eden just unleashes a waterfall of stomps and kicks. 

Lieberjosch: Necron’s team is loudly protesting, and eventually Chartreuse steps in between Eden and Necron, pushing her back to their corner.  

Gabriel hasn’t let go, and Chartreuse turns to check on Necron, but the Harvester rolls over onto his stomach, then pushes himself up to his knees. Not letting go of the hold, Gabriel drives repeated knees into the ribs of Necron. He manages to keep the big man staggered long enough for Eden to come off the ropes a third time with a Beautiful Disaster just as Gabriel finally lets go! 

Vinegar: That series of moves they call Asphyxiation, with some extra cheese on top just for the Harvester, and it has become increasingly clear what Eden’s and Gabriel’s plan was going into this battle – outnumber the monster and never let up! 

Gabriel goes for the cover, but Deimos is already there with a falling double axehandle to break it up, and Le Bord somersaults directly into Morgan from the side to keep her from interfering. As Deimos throws forearms to keep Baal off balance, Le Bord grabs the ropes and runs in place on the back of Eden to keep her down. Meanwhile, Jet grabs Necron and drags him over to their corner, then yells for Deimos, who darts back to the corner for the tag. 

Lieberjosch: Team Necron countering Team Baal-Morgan’s attack with some unprecedented teamwork of their own. 

Vinegar: They’ve got a 4-3 advantage right now, and they’re hoping to keep that lead.  

Baal tags in Rogan as he turns to help Eden out of the ring. Chartreuse is just starting to restore some semblance of order as everyone else returns to their corners, but MacLean sprints across the ring and hits Deimos with a diving forearm! He presses the attack, hitting Deimos again as soon as Fear regains his feet. Rogan whips Deimos into the corner, then runs in for a knee uppercut! He lifts Deimos up into a sitting position on the turnbuckle, then drives his shoulder into his midsection over and over. Deimos wavers backward, but manages to correct his balance and comes back with an overhead chop that interrupts the attack.  

Lieberjosch: Deimos still in a precarious position up there, but he dives forward suddenly for a blockbuster on MacLean! 

Both competitors bounce away from each other, their respective teams reaching for them, but they’d have to cross one another’s path to get the tag. Slowly but surely, they both start to regain their feet. Rogan is the first one up, and he runs at Fear, but Fear ducks under a clothesline, grabbing MacLean’s arm as he goes and yanking him into a chickenwing. Rogan rolls backward over the hold, reversing it into a hammerlock on Fear. Deimos also reverses by rolling forward, looping Rogan’s arm around his own throat, but Rogan sits out and turns it into an armdrag takedown. Deimos rolls through, executing a hip toss as they both come to their feet. Rogan bounces up from the toss, going to the corner, using the ropes to execute a spinning heel kick that rocks Deimos! 

Vinegar: The crowd is roaring their approval for that string of chain wrestling, but Rogan’s looking to finish it off here… 

Deimos is down, and MacLean ascends the turnbuckles. He looks over his shoulder at Deimos, then leaps backward… 

Covert Jay: DEVIL’S SKY!! 

Lieberjosch: Deimos rolls away! Deimos rolls away! 

Rogan’s moonsault into a double-foot stomp finds no one there, and he’s staggered by the impact long enough for Fear to grab him! 

Covert Jay: THE NUMBING!! 

Vinegar: Deimos with the roll up… 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Rogan MacLean 

Vinegar: Team Baal-Morgan is in trouble! 

Lieberjosch: We’re at a 4-2 count in this elimination match, and I don’t like the worried look Eden and Gabriel share as Deimos backs up to his corner to tag in Le Bord.  

Morgan sets her face in a hard expression and steps in to continue the tall task they now have ahead of them. Going into a fighting stance, she yells for Le Bord to come on, and Bordy screams out a battle cry as she launches herself across the ring. Eden catches her, hitting a sidewalk slam. She immediately pulls Bordy back up and steps onto the ropes for a spinning DDT. Dragging her up one more time, she whips her into the corner, following up with a dropkick into the turnbuckles! Eden sets Le Bord up, draping her across the middle ropes in the corner, then ducks outside to leap onto the turnbuckles. She hits a diving double knee drop! 

Vinegar: Le Bord is so unorthodox in her style that she could pull a move out of nowhere that turns the match around. Eden understands this, and she’s not giving her an opening! 

Eden stands Le Bord up in the corner again, running across the ring, then back going for a high knee attack, but Bordy moves at the last second as Eden crashes! Morgan grabs the ropes, forcing herself to her feet, but Bordy hits a cannonball that staggers her! Now it’s Bordy’s turn to set Morgan up in the corner, climbing up on either side of her for mounted punches. Morgan doesn’t stand for it long, though, grabbing Le Bord and hitting a sit out powerbomb! She pulls The Queen of Red to her feet again. 

Covert Jay: There’s the FALL OF EDEN!! 

Eden gets the cover as Baal moves to intercept Jet from making the save, knocking him away with a clothesline from hell!! 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Le Bord de Dieu 

Vinegar: Team Baal-Morgan begins the long process of closing the gap as Le Bord pounds the mat in frustration. 

Lieberjosch: Chartreuse calls Jet the legal man to replace her, and Baal accepts a tag from Eden. 

Covert Jay: Here’s some bad blood! 

Vinegar: Indeed, this is a very personal feud between these two men. 

Lieberjosch: The duplicitous Somers turned his back on The Court, and Baal paid for Jet’s betrayal. 

Vinegar: Somers left behind what has rapidly devolved past villainy into sheer nihilism. As far as Jet is concerned, he put this beef to bed already at Day of Reckoning.  

Covert Jay: This could easily be a mirror of that match, since they’re once again squaring off for a shot at Alan Wallace. 

Baal presses the advantage he set up for himself by clobbering Jet moments ago, and hits The Wild Card with an overhead belly to back suplex! Jet staggers to his feet, but Baal is on Jet in a second, knocking him around with buzzsaw kicks that keep him staggered. He hits his kicking combo, working his way up Jet’s body, finally kicking him in the face and knocking him down. 

Vinegar: He worked over Jet’s legs a bit there, and that can be key to breaking through the quick offense of Somers and keeping him from mounting a comeback.  

Gabriel descends on Jet, locking in a surfboard in the center of the ring. 

Lieberjosch: Somers is notoriously difficult to submit, Baal taking a risk here. 

Jet manages to get his legs under himself, hitting a desperation ace crusher that knocks Gabriel back. Gabriel isn’t about to let Jet build any momentum, though, and he leaps for the ropes, timing out a FREUDIAN SLIP!!! He covers. 

1… 

2… 

Covert Jay: Jet with a foot on the ropes! 

Vinegar: Fantastic ring awareness by Opie as he narrowly escapes elimination.  

Aggravated by this, Baal yanks Jet to his feet and whips him into the ropes, but Jet jumps onto them turning for a JETSTREAMER!! 

Lieberjosch: Jet with the roll up! 

1… 

2.. 

3—NO! 

Covert Jay: Chartreuse is pointing at the ropes now, where Baal’s foot is lazily draped across the bottom.  

Vinegar: Can we see that replay again? 

Lieberjosch: Why? You didn’t need to see a replay when Somers escaped the same way. 

Vinegar: Somers didn’t have someone from his side place his foot on the ropes like… Yes! You see there! Eden grabbed Gabriel’s foot and put it on the ropes, she’s even the one who signaled to Chartreuse! 

Lieberjosch: She’s brilliant. I’m glad you showed me that, Nick, because I would have missed it! 

For a moment, as she’s making her way back to her corner, Jet and Eden lock eyes. There’s a brief moment that passes between them, then they both look away. Jet grabs Gabriel’s head and drags him to his feet. He pulls Baal into a headlock, and starts driving knees into his face, trying to wear The Serpent down. Gabriel suddenly stands up straight, throwing his arms out to the side to break the hold, but as Jet moves to grab him again, he wraps Opie up. 

Covert Jay: THE CALL!! 

Vinegar: That suplex puts Jet in a pinning predicament! 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Jet Somers 

Lieberjosch: Against all odds, Eden and Gabriel have managed to level this match out! We’re at a two on two now! 

Gabriel sees Necron step back into the ring, and starts to go into defensive mode, but Eden is slapping the turnbuckle, demanding to be let in. Gabriel looks hesitant, but finally nods at her and reaches for the tag. As they trade places, Gabriel poises on the ropes, ready to jump in as soon as he’s needed 

Vinegar: Eden and Necron circle one another as the crowd gets heated! 

Eden darts in first, practically climbing up Necron’s giant frame with the barrage of kicks she fires at him. He takes a step back to rebalance as she launches herself into the ropes, then springboards up for a swinging headscissor takedown! Bouncing quickly to her feet, UGWC’s sweetheart grabs the ropes near Necron for leverage and begins jumping up and down on him. She finally swings way back and hits him with both feet to kick his bulk out of the ring. 

Lieberjosch: Action spilling to the outside as Eden is quick to yank the ring skirt up, exposing the underside! 

She drags Necron up and drapes him over the girders forming the framework under the ring. Eden takes off around the ring, making a full circuit before hitting a dropkick that rocks Necron’s hip to the side, his upper torso, head, and arms now tangled in the girders under the ring! She calls for Gabriel, who drops from the apron and steps over, grabbing Necron’s legs and lifting them up to shoulder height. 

Vinegar: Here comes Deimos! 

Before Fear can get there, Eden leaps onto the apron and hits the double knee drop onto Necron’s back! Gabriel drops the legs and runs at Fear, and the two of them brawl around the announcer tables, taking turns bouncing one another off them. Eden drags Necron out from under the ring by the legs, but he’s dragging a sledgehammer with him, and as soon as he’s clear of the ring apron, he swings it around brutally, narrowly missing her melon! 

Lieberjosch: Chartreuse has lost complete control of this match! 

Vinegar: All four competitors are outside the ring, and he can’t count them out because someone has to advance! 

Eden dances back as Necron continues swinging the Black 13 Problem Solver in sweeping arcs at her. If he catches her with one of those swings, she’ll be broken in half. He drives her into the security barrier, which she nimply leaps on top of, and spies Gabriel whipping Deimos at Necron. Morgan runs across the top of the barrier just as Fear slams into the Harvester, sending them both crashing through the barrier! 

Lieberjosch: Team Baal-Morgan isn’t going to give them time to recover, and they drag them out of the wreckage, Gabriel on Necron and Eden on Phrixus, then roll them into the ring. 

Vinegar: Eden has that sledge, and she’s sliding it into the ring as well. 

Covert Jay: OH MY GOD! Necron’s hand shot out and yanked it out of her hand before she could let it go, pulling her bodily into the ring apron! 

Eden grabs her chest where it hit, wincing at the impact! Gabriel is climbing up on the ropes near Fear, and didn’t see what happened. He isn’t expecting it when Necron flings the hammer at him like Thor throwing Mjolnir at an ice giant! The hammer connects with the ropes, knocking Gabriel off balance, causing him to nut himself on the top turnbuckle and crumple forward into the ring!  

Vinegar: Deimos is crawling back to his corner as Necron gets to his feet again, bearing down on Gabriel with that sledgehammer! 

Lieberjosch: Gabriel is curled up in a ball clutching his sheckels after that crushing loss of balance, and just now looks up to notice Necron raising the sledge over his head! 

Vinegar: He’s going to cave his skull in!! 

Covert Jay: WHAT WAS THAT?? 

Lieberjosch: Something just arced over the top rope from Team Necron’s corner and bounced off the back of Necron’s neck with a little spark. It looks like someone flicked a cigarette at him, drawing his attention! 

Covert Jay: IT’S ICHABOD! IT’S ICHABOD!  

Vinegar: The general manager of Chill is standing just outside the ring opposite the corner where Necron had Gabriel down and out, and he’s brandishing a sledgehammer of his own, yelling at Necron that he’s here!  

Lieberjosch: The crowd has blown their tops at this development! Ichabod just saved Gabriel from becoming a splatter in the corner, and Necron has murder in his eyes! 

Necron makes tracks across the ring toward Ichabod who backs up slowly, drawing him out. Necron goes to step over the ropes and… 

Covert Jay: THE HARD WAY FROM EDEN!! 

Vinegar: The surprise attack from Eden Morgan sends Necron flipping backward into the ring, and Ichabod retreats into the crowd with both middle fingers raised! 

Lieberjosch: Eden pounces for the cover… 

1… 

2… 

Vinegar: Necron rips Eden off himself and practically flies to his feet! 

Lieberjosch: He’s rushing back toward his corner where Ichabod was. 

Necron slaps Deimos’ arm without looking at him, then grabs him by the collar and flips him into the ring to hold off Morgan. Necron drops out of the ring, scanning the crowd for Ichabod. Deimos shakes off the impact, getting unsteadily to his feet.  

Covert Jay: ENTROPY!! 

Vinegar: Eden plants the unsuspecting Deimos! The cover… 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Phrixus Deimos 

Vinegar: Baal-Morgan are finally ahead! 

Eden checks on Gabriel, who has had time to recover and get gingerly out on the apron. She runs a hand across her midsection, asking him to take her place and let her get a breather. He nods and steps back in, walking over to the other corner where Necron is still looking for Ichabod. Gabriel gets up on the ropes and yells at Necron to turn around, then springboards into a crossbody that sends them both into the barrier! Necron shoves Gabriel off and drags himself to his feet, but Gabriel is there again and hits a snap suplex! 

Vinegar: For the first time tonight, it looks like Necron might be wearing down. 

Lieberjosch: No, he’s distracted.  

Gabriel goes to roll Necron back into the ring, but Necron plants his hands on the ring apron and drives an elbow back into Gabriel’s face, busting him open. He grabs Gabriel by the back of the head and slams his face into the apron one, two, three, four times, then lifts him up by the back of his neck and tosses him one handed through the middle and bottom rope. Necron grabs the top rope and buoys himself up on to the apron with a snarl, then steps into the ring. 

Vinegar: The Harvester isn’t happy, and he’s taking it out on Ichabod’s chosen pupil!! 

Lieberjosch: So much for Ichabod saving him earlier. 

Necron snatches Baal off the mat and whips him into the ropes.. 

. 

Covert Jay: THE REAPER!! 

Necron covers, staring daggers at Eden who his trying to get into the ring in time. 

1… 

2… 

3!! 

Eliminated: Gabriel Baal 

Vinegar: We’re down to the final two here, either Necron or Eden will be challenging Alan Wallace just moments from now! 

Lieberjosch: Eden doesn’t look thrilled to return to the fight, but she steels herself and steps in. 

Eden and Necron stand stock still, neither of them moving for a moment. Necron smiles a sadistic grin, but Eden, to her credit, doesn’t quail. She takes a few steps forward, closing the distance between them, and looks up at him defiantly. Necron’s smile grows even wider, more predatory, as he mimes her and takes a few steps forward as well.  

Vinegar: Necron’s eyes flick to the right, where Le Bord de Dieu has stepped up on the apron!! 

Lieberjosch: What is she doing out here?? 

Vinegar: She’s got Necron’s sledgehammer! 

With all her might, Bordy heaves the sledgehammer at Necron. He growls as he turns and… 

Vinegar: HE CAUGHT IT! HE ACTUALLY CAUGHT IT! 

Lieberjosch: BEAUTIFUL DISASTER! EDEN JUST HIT BEAUTIFUL DISASTER AND BOUNCED NECRON’S HEAD OFF THAT SLEDGEHAMMER! 

Covert Jay: Eden with quick roll up… 

1… 

2… 

3!!! 

Eliminated: Necron 

Dennis: Your winner, by elimination, EDEN MORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGAN!!! 

Vinegar: Bordy dusts her hands off suggestively as she glares at Necron and smiles, then drops from the apron to walk away. 

Lieberjosch: Eden Morgan advances from one of the most brutal matches we’ve seen tonight, and she’ll join Alan Wallace, Kem Dynamo, Lucy Wylde, and Magdalena Lockheart in the World Championship Main Event, right now!!! 

Team Baal - 7.11 

Team Necron - 6.98 

[Lord Hastings]

Vinegar: What an amazing night it has been here in in Pittsburgh at the Outlast Tournament!

Lieberjosch: We started with a field of twenty-four potential challengers, four have qualified and advanced to our main event to challenge Alan Wallace for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Covert Jay: And now we are down to a single elimination match, two competitors will be active at a time, the rest will have to tag in and out.

Dennis: The following contest is an elimination match for the World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing the challengers, already in the ring, EEDDDEENNNNNNN MORRRGAANNNNN!!!!

Vinegar: Eden Morgan is still in the ring from the previous qualifying match, where moments ago she eliminated Necron last following the shocking actions of Le Bord de Dieu.

Lieberjosch: What isn’t shocking at all is that Eden Morgan has once again advanced to the main event of Outlast, it’s practically a guarantee, and the fact that Director Hastings knew she would advance and placed her qualifying match third in a blatant attempt to leave her tired and at a disadvantage is further proof of his bias against her.

The lights dim as soft ambient, electronic sounds escape the PA system. After a modest crescendo, the sounds are invaded by a dueling duet between a rhythmic, aggressive guitar riff and high notes from a piano. After a few rounds of call-and-response, the guitar claims victory by expanding the riff while the background continues to build until a single flash of bright lights resets the scene as Claudio Sanchez’s voice commands the audience’s attention.

All nonbelievers stand aside in fear
A new day’s marching through the door

As the momentary flash fades and the house lights normalize, Kem Dynamo bursts through the entryway, fired up and excited to reunite with the #UnifiedUniverse. Kem makes her way slowly down to ringside, interacting with fans in the front few rows while the camera bounces between watching her arrive and cutting to signs in the audience showing support for The Outlier.

You’ve come so far from innocence
Provided all the consequence
Only what does it matter now

At the pre-chorus, Kem turns her attention towards the ring and takes a few steps to pick up a run before sliding under the bottom rope then rolling through to a kneeling pose that hits the center of the ring right on the downbeat of the chorus.

’Cause you’re going hooooooome
You’re running freeeeeeeee

Inside the ring, Kem continues to pose for and engage with the crowd as the chorus plays before climbing a random turnbuckle and joining the crowd in an arena-wide rendition of the song’s “WOAH OH WAH OH WA-OH WA-OH” before jumping down and bolting to an opposite corner to do it one more time with the other side of the audience.

Dennis: Energized by the #UnifiedUniverse, KEMMMMMMMM DYYYYYYNNAAMMMOOOOOOO!!!!!

Vinegar: Tonight has so far proved to be a return to form for Kem Dynamo, a WrestleStock Cup and Massive Melee winner, and now in her first ever Outlast Tournament, a spot in the main event.

Covert Jay: Big Match Kem striking again, we’ll see if she can finish the job here tonight!

The arena goes black. The opening chords of "Undead" by Hollywood Undead blare over the Arena PA system. One by one, spotlights around the arena begin fading in and out, alternating between a bright white and deep purple tones. As the bass line kicks into its highly-recognized bone jarring chorus the spotlights sync their flashing with the rhythm. Suddenly the spotlights all turn at once, illuminating the stage in a brilliant flash and a radiating glow. Lucy Wylde steps out from behind the curtain onto center stage just as the crowd begins to cheer and sing along with the song...

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

UNDEAD!!!!!

As the verse begins, Lucy begins walking towards the ring, a big smile on her face as she moves from side to side along the aisle - slapping the hands of the fans as she goes. She gets to ringside and runs up the ring steps, climbing into the ring and ascending the far turnbuckle, raising her arms into the air. She pulls a pair of fingerless leather gloves from her back pocket and puts them on, one by one. Her music begins to fade into the background of the cheers of her adoring fans. Once both gloves are tight, she clenches both fists and jumps down from the turnbuckle, ready for the fight ahead.

Dennis: LUUCCYYYYYY WYYYLLLLLDDEEEEEE!!!!

Vinegar: Lucy Wylde qualified earlier tonight alongside Kem Dynamo in the first qualifying match of the evening, tonight is the first time Wylde has been in action since losing the World Title a month ago at Day of Reckoning, and there have certainly been no signs of ring rust so far.

Lieberjosch: Lucy Wylde continuing to show why she is one of the best in the business, returning to action tonight and not missing even a single beat.

The deep heartbeat bass of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” drops over the arena’s public announce speakers as the artist Magdalena Lockheart emerges from behind the curtain. Magdalena steps out into the center of an emerald spotlight wearing a long black dress. For a moment she stands at the top of the stage and applies a dark cherry lipstick to her lips with the aid of a pocket mirror. The ramp in front of her lights up like a model’s runway. Lockheart struts down the ramp as if she’s modeling the dress, pausing briefly at the bottom to pose while flashbulbs go off all around her.

Dennis: The FUTURE, the Artist known as MAGGGDALENNNAAA LOCKKKKHEARRRTTT!!!

Lockheart walks around the ring towards the camera side, moving all of the way to the southeast ringpost before pulling herself up onto the ring apron. She centers herself on the apron and stands facing the crowd.

But I got smarter, I got harder, In the knick of time.

And me I rose up from the dead I do it all the time.

I got a list of names, yours is in red underlined

I check it once, then I check it twice- Ooh!

Lockheart grabs her dress with both hands and on beat with the song, she rips the dress down the center! Another green spotlight shines straight down on her as glittering, sparkling confetti rains down from the ceiling onto the crowd. Flashes go off from all of the hungry cell phone cameras in attendance as Lockheart sheds the rest of her dress and reveals her slim waistline beneath. Lockheart pauses for a few moments to allow the crowd to snap more photographs before entering the ring.

The lights go out, and stay out for a few seconds, before a lone spotlight begins to shine down upon the stage. As the music first starts out, fireworks go off around the area that the spotlight showcases. Up through the flooring of the stage rises 'Vain' Alan Wallace - a buxom blonde standing to his left, and a gorgeous brunette standing to his right. As the lift that they are being raised by comes to a stop, the two women drop to their knees and turn towards him, running their hands down his chest and abs, before giving each other a kiss. Vain tosses the hood of his robe back, revealing that beautiful money maker of his, and then throws his arms up in the air as he begins walking towards the ring, and his two harlots make their way backstage. Upon entering the ring, he spins around in a circle with his arms raised high, basking in the reaction of the people. He then prepares for the task in front of him, as his music begins to fade out.

Dennis: And finally, he is the reigning AND defending World Heavyweight Champion, the Cross-Hemisphere Champion, the Vain One, ALLLLAANNNNN WALLLLLLLLAAACCCCEEEEE!!!!!

Vinegar: Wallace holds both the World and Cross-Hemisphere Titles after his TLC victory at Day of Reckoning, only the World Heavyweight Title is on the line tonight.

Covert Jay: Vain entering the ring, and Gabriel Baal has popped back up at ringside, standing alongside Eden.

Lieberjosch: Well of course, they co-qualified, it just happened, you both saw it.

Vinegar: Baal was eliminated, he has no business being out here.

Lieberjosch: Dynamo and Wylde are both here, they were from the same team.

Vinegar: Because they both actually advanced. Regardless, Wallace has spotted Baal and is telling referee Owen Peterson to remove him, Eden Morgan yelling at Wallace to mind his own business, which to be fair in this case it more or less actually is.

Covert Jay: Looks like the other challengers want him removed too, can’t really say I blame them.

Lieberjosch: They all need to stop whining! They’re just sad they don’t have a friend like him!

Creative Director Donovan Hastings walks out to the stage, in full Hastings regale with his cloak, and he glares at the ring, walking down the ramp with a microphone in hand.

Hastings: No. Absolutely not. These are NOT the shenanigans that we are going to see tonight. Gabriel Baal, return to the locker room.

Vinegar: Eden Morgan shouting something back at Hastings, can’t quite make it out.

Covert Jay: It’s not very friendly.

Hastings: Baal leaves ringside right now, or Eden is disqualified and forfeits her position in this match.

Vinegar: Morgan now stomping her feet, but Baal puts his hands in the air and motions that he will leave.

Baal and Morgan quickly converse, and as Hastings starts to raise the mic back to his mouth Baal quickly puts his hands up again and walks past him up the ramp. Hastings watches him disappear through the curtain before continuing.

Hastings: Tonight is a night where justice is going to be served. We are going to have a fair main event, one where everybody gets what they deserve. Earlier tonight there was a miscarriage of justice in our first qualifying match of the evening, an unpleasant chain of events. The referee’s decision is final, the referee’s decision is always final, and while I cannot change what happened as the Creative Director, I do have Global Dollars remaining in my fund from my in-ring career, and right now, I am using them to add a final challenger to this match!

Vinegar: What?!

Lieberjosch: Who is it?

The lone guitar chord begins to reverberate through the dark arena. It's quickly joined by the drums, at which point white a silver strobe lights begin to alight the stage.

Nasty, nasty
Triple X rated

A loud tone that resembles a siren begins to scream through the arena, at which point the arena goes dark again.

Nasty, nasty
Justice, a waste-pit

The silver lights come back on, focused on Zane Scott, who stands on the stage. He looks out over the arena with a smile on his face and then focuses on the ring. The spotlights resume flashing around the stage as Zane looks at the ring.

Nasty, nasty
Deeper in the dirt
Nasty, nasty
Making bodies hurt

He raises the renamed "Lord of Pain-Thriller" overhead with his left hand and holds it there for a few seconds

Deep down!
Deep down!
Deeper down!

Zane lowers the chair and begins to walk to the ring. The lyrics continue to blare through the arena as he walks to the ring. Once he reaches the bottom of the ramp he slides the "Lord of Pain-Thriller" into the ring in the near corner then grabs the top rope and pulls himself up onto the apron with it. He waits on the apron for a few seconds, wipes his feet and then steps through the ropes and into the ring. He walks over to the corner, picks up the "Lord of Pain-Thriller" and ascends the near turnbuckle. He holds the chair up over his head for a few moments as his music continues to blare. After he drops from the turnbuckle, he walks to center ring and raises the "Lord of Pain-Thriller" overhead again before he allows the referee to check him for foreign objects. Once the referee is finished, the strobes stop, the lights go back up and Zane walks back to his corner and places his favored weapon in it, after which he turns around and stands with his arms folded in his corner

Vinegar: Zane Scott has been adding by Hastings to this main event!

Lieberjosch: He was already eliminated!

Covert Jay: Eden is telling Donovan how unfair this is, he just shrugs and reminds her that she did it herself last year.

Lieberjosch: That was different!

Vinegar: Why?

Lieberjosch: Because Eden did it.

Vinegar: Zane Scott is in this match, standing toe-to-toe with Alan Wallace, we’re ready to go!

DING DING!!

Vinegar: Scott going right after Wallace with right hands, fighting him back into the ropes, and now he whips Wallace across the ring, but Wallace holds onto the far ropes and stops his momentum, and he slaps Wylde on the arm and drops out through the ropes.

Covert Jay: That’s how this final Outlast match works, just two people in and you can tag anyone at anytime, so now Lucy Wylde will enter to face Zane Scott, Vain takes her place on the apron.

Lieberjosch: Eden Morgan, Kem Dynamo, and Maggie Lockheart in the other three corners, each waiting for their chance in this match.

Vinegar: Wylde in against Scott, lots of history between these two, Wylde ducks under a clothesline, comes off the ropes and knocks Scott down with a spinning heel kick.

Covert Jay: Lucy attempts to apply a DRRRRRRRRRRAGGONNNNN sleeper, Zane twists out before she can lock it in, but she springboards into a leg lariat.

Lieberjosch: Looked like Eden thought about delivering a kick to Lucy as she was springboarding, she was in range but thought better of it, and that was probably smart, don’t draw attention to yourself in a match like this one if you don’t need to, it’s about survival.

Vinegar: Wylde wrenches Scott’s arm and makes a tag to Dynamo, who comes in and delivers a kick to the gut, Dynamo and Wylde continuing the effective teamwork from earlier in the evening.

Lieberjosch: We’ll see how long that lasts.

Vinegar: Dynamo takes hold of Scott, drops him with an inverted DDT, hooks the leg!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





Vinegar: Scott kicks out!

Lieberjosch: Side headlock applied, Dynamo controlling Zane, but Zane working his way back to his feet.

Covert Jay: Zane shoves her away, but she comes off the ropes and connects with a rolling Koppu kick.

Vinegar: Dynamo ripcords Scott-

Covert Jay: I think Vain just made a blind tag!

Vinegar: Dynamo connects with the Neverender! She’s got another cover on Scott!

Lieberjosch: Vain made a blind tag, Dynamo missed it with her attention focused on Zane!

Vinegar: Peterson trying to explain it to Dynamo, she turns to look for Vain, but he is already mid-air!

Lieberjosch: MONEY MAKER!!!

Vinegar: He’s got the cover!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





THREE!!!!!!!





Elimination: Kem Dynamo by Alan Wallace

Vinegar: Wallace looks to cover Scott, but he’s rolled to the outside, and Lockheart is in the ring and connects with a running knee strike.

Lieberjosch: Calf kick to the back of the knee, buzzsaw kick to the back of the head!

Covert Jay: EVENT HORIZON!!

Vinegar: Lockheart looking for Lacrimosa, but Wallace rolls away, slaps Wylde on the arm for a tag as he ducks out through the ropes again!

Lieberjosch: Lucy glaring at Vain, and now she locks eyes with Lockheart, the fans here in Pittsburgh on their feet as she steps through the ropes, Lucy Wylde squaring off with Maggie Lockheart!

Vinegar: Wylde and Lockheart circling the ring, and now they lock up! Both grappling for position, double elbow tie-up, and they grapple their way into the corner right in front of Eden Morgan!

Lieberjosch: Eden watching carefully, and she tags Maggie on the shoulder!

Covert Jay: Edie ninja-dives through the ropes, pulls Lucy out of the grapple into a pin!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





Vinegar: Lockheart kicks Morgan and breaks up the cover!

Lieberjosch: Well that wasn’t smart! This is everyone for themself!

Vinegar: It was right in front of Lockheart, I don’t think she even thought about what she was doing, as Owen Peterson orders her out of the ring and onto the apron.

Lieberjosch: Eden glares at Lockheart for a moment, discus clothesline knocks Lucy back down.

Covert Jay: Edie comes off the ropes and plants Lucy with High Maintenance!

Vinegar: Morgan with the cover!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





Vinegar: Wylde kicks out!

Lieberjosch: Eden springboards, Lucy catches her out of the air with a spear!

Vinegar: Wylde to her feet, might be thinking about Keep Your Chin Up.

Covert Jay: Zane is asking for a tag, he wants in against the Ice Queen.

Vinegar: Wylde goes to give it to him, but Morgan dives past her, tags Scott’s hand!

Lieberjosch: Zane glares at Eden for a moment, but comes into the ring to face Lucy Wylde again, she charges right in with a shining wizard, but Zane sidesteps and she crashes into the turnbuckle!

Vinegar: Wylde stumbles back out into a lungblower.

Covert Jay: Zane to his feet, reaching down to set up Salt the Earth, but Lucy flips onto her back, pulls him into an inside cradle!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





Vinegar: Scott kicks out!

Lieberjosch: Both quickly to their feet!

Covert Jay: WYLDE LIBERATION!!!

Vinegar: Scott shoves her away, and Wallace delivers a kick to the back from the apron as she hits the ropes!

Lieberjosch: Zane pops her into the air!

Covert Jay: MURDEROUS INTENT!!

Vinegar: Scott has the cover!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





THREE!!!!!!!





Elimination: Lucy Wylde by Zane Scott

Vinegar: Down to four, as Morgan, Wallace, and Lockheart ALL rush into the ring, and it’s an all out brawl in there!

Lieberjosch: Everybody fighting everybody, Maggie connects with a pele kick on Zane, and now Eden tackles Maggie, they both spill through the ropes to the outside.

Vinegar: Wallace sets up Scott for the Cherry Popper!

Covert Jay: Zane twists out INTO THE PURGE!!!!!

Vinegar: Scott has the cover!





ONE!!!





TWO!!!!!





Crowd: THREE!!!!!!!





Vinegar: Owen Peterson stopped counting!

Lieberjosch: Why did he stop?

Covert Jay: Vain hasn’t moved, Peterson just stopped and stood up!

Lieberjosch: Zane’s staring up at Peterson, Peterson looking out at Director Hastings, he’s still at ringside!

Vinegar: Scott looks out at Hastings with confusion, I have to say I’m confused to, what is happening?

Lieberjosch: BEAUTIFUL DISASTER!!!

Vinegar: And now Morgan puts him into a Muta Lock!

Lieberjosch: RESTING BITCH FACE!!!!

Vinegar: Zane Scott trapped in the submission hold, and the way he is positioned, he is staring out at ringside at Hastings, a cold expressionless face staring back at him from the Creative Director!

Covert Jay: Their eyes are locked, and...is that?

Lieberjosch: It looks like a single tear in the eye of Zane Scott!

Vinegar: Hastings turns and walks up the ramp, and Scott isn’t even struggling in the hold, his eyes just slowly closing, and Peterson is signaling that’s it!

Elimination: Zane Scott by Eden Morgan

Vinegar: Eden Morgan laughing with glee, she looks like she can’t believe what just happened, I can’t believe it myself!

Lieberjosch: Hastings turned his back on Zane!

Vinegar: But WHY? Why turn his back on Zane Scott after taking action to make sure he was in this match at all?

Lieberjosch: Only Hastings knows, in the meantime, we are down to three, as Eden finishes kicking Zane’s limp body out of the ring.

Lieberjosch: MONEY MAKE-

Covert Jay: Sector 7 Press catches Vain in mid-air!

Vinegar: And now Lockheart unloading on Wallace with mounted punches!

Lieberjosch: Maggie Lockheart took it personally when Vain took the Cross-Hemisphere Title from her, she’s got a chance now to return the favor and take the World Title from him!

Vinegar: Wallace covering up as best he can, and he jabs a thumb to the eye and rakes Lockheart’s face as he shoves her off!

Covert Jay: But that wasn’t all that happened tonight! Only minutes ago, the shocking betrayal, Donovan Hastings turning his back on Zane Scott, Vain could have been eliminated early if Owen Peterson had only counted the fall!

Post-Credit Bonus!

Unbelievable.

Zane Scott's mind is racing as he storms through the backstage area.

Why?

In the distance, "Ladies and Gentlemen" can faintly be heard playing in the arena. Vain has defended his championship.

It doesn't even register.

WHY?!

He arrives at the Creative Lair of Pain. Two burly men stand in front of the door, their arms crossed.

"Gentlemen. Let's make a good choice."

The pair exchange a glance, and they both step aside. Zane rushes past them, pushing the doors open, stepping inside the office...

It is empty.

Zane gasps with frustration and falls to his knees, holding his head in his hands. He slowly looks up, and his eye catches a single piece of paper, pinned to the wall. Zane crawls towards it, and rips the paper down, holding it in his hands. He turns and slumps against the wall, sliding down it, the paper falling from his hands onto the floor.

A single word is written on it.

Inevitable.
