As we open up to the ring, we see Mr. Rad on the video wall in tropical clothing. Who knows where he found the codes to change his clothes. He has on a pair of shades and a pineapple hat as he addresses the audience.
Mr. Rad: Midwest weather, am I right? It’s either cold and rainy or HOT AS HELL like it is today! And nothing’s hotter than LEVEL UP WRESTLING!
The crowd cheers at this. The camera turns to the announce team, who are likewise dressed for warmer weather.
Arthur La Forge: We’re in the middle of this latest cycle preparing for Dead by Daylight, but the entire landscape could be changed by the end of this show!
Mary DeSue: Can you believe our champion threw her weight around and got a title match made?
Arthur La Forge: It’s her prerogative to defend the title beyond her contractually mandated defenses if she chooses, and she wanted to prove a point to her opponent tonight.
Mary DeSue: Yeah well, she’s gonna get knocked out for it. And then Ricci gonna go on to knock out Bert again and we’ll have a champion we can be proud of!
Arthur La Forge:: Those two will meet in a Super Punch-Out match, with KO rules only, for the Final Boss title tonight. We also have several debuts and both Don Tirri and Larry Tact are putting their spots in the Skeleton Key match on the line tonight.
Mary DeSue: If Don Thicci loses I’m going to be very upset.
Arthur La Forge: I’m sure you will. Let’s get to the ring for our first match!

Jennifer Williams & Teddy Warren vs. The WaLuigis
Jennifer Williams starts out with Dude Waluigi. Dude Waluigi seems to be doing something that could be construed as flirting as he approaches Jennifer, wiggling his eyebrows...Only to eat a sudden burst of forearm shots to the jaw! Jennifer whips the Waluigi into the ropes and nails him with a kitchen sink. A feat for such a smaller fighter! She pulls Dude Waluigi up to his feet only to whip him into her corner and charge in with a big body splash! She tags in Teddy Warren, and the two drag Dude from the corner, whipping him into the ropes and dropping him with stereo dropkicks!
Mary DeSue: What a shock, Dude WaLuigi’s in there getting his butt kicked.
Arthur La Forge: In his defense....actually I got nothing.
Mary DeSue: And he tried to flirt his way out of it! Pathetic.
Jennifer heads to her corner as Teddy charges the opponent’s corner, nailing Giant Waluigi with a leaping forearm shot that drops him from the apron..He lands awkward on his ankle and lets out an agonizing WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH as he rolls on the ground outside. Teddy turns his attention back to dude, picking him up and nailing him with a snap suplex! Teddy stalks Dude for a moment, waiting for him to get up..He then begins to pantomime! YOU AINT SO BAD! THE BIG RIGHT HAND SENDS DUDE REELING!! Teddy goes and tags in Jennifer.
Arthur La Forge: You would think the WaLuigis would have more chemistry as a team but..
Mary DeSue: Wait, didn’t these guys all try to murder each other back in February?
Arthur La Forge: Yeah but they know each other. I think. We really should know more about them at this point.
Mary DeSue: Or maybe we should stop having them wrestle!
Teddy lifts Dude and nails him with the TEDDY BEAR HUG! Jennifer flies in with a missile dropkick, knocking Dude free from the hold but not until after the damage is done! Teddy runs to the ropes and leaps over, nailing GIANT with a tope suicida! Another anguished WWWAAAHHHHHH rings out through the arena! In the ring, Jennifer has scaled the ropes and..STOCK MARKET CRASH! PERFECT SHOOTING STAR PRESS! She hooks the legs!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!!
Mr. Rad: The winners of the match are JENNIFER WILLIAMS and TEDDY WARREN!
Arthur La Forge: Both Teddy and Jennifer needed wins and they managed to get them here tonight. Whenever we crown our first multiplayer champions, they might do well together.
Mary DeSue: Hold on now, let’s not judge performances against WaLuigis as some indicator of future success.
Arthur La Forge: We wouldn’t have them if they couldn’t…
Mary DeSue: *I* could beat a WaLuigi.
Arthur La Forge: Yeah but aren’t you training to wrestle?
Mary DeSue: That’s my whole point! I’m still new!

Kylie Moore vs. WaLink
Kylie Moore stares at WaLink unimpressed as the bell rings. WaLink goes for a lockup but Kylie instead decides to chin check the abomination unto gaming with a hard european uppercut. She then instantly grabs them in a waistlock, pays them a headbutt and throws them to the mat with a thunderous belly to belly suplex! Kylie runs the ropes, and bounces off and drives her elbow into WaLink’s sternum!!
Arthur La Forge: Kylie Moore making her debut tonight, as is WaLink, and she’s..well..
Mary DeSue: Different costume, same purple menace.
Arthur La Forge: Yeah, that. She’s proving herself no match for him.
Kylie kips up and runs the ropes again..springboard moonsault!! She drags WaLink up and drops him on his head with a snap DDT. Kylie stands and circles WaLink who begins to rather pathetically crawl toward the ropes. He pulls himself up on the ropes only to turn and receive a thunderous superkick from Moore! The sound of her boot impacting with WaLink’s chiseled jaw rings out throughout the arena!!
Arthur La Forge: It’s too dangerous to go alone...take this superkick!
Mary DeSue: Is that some video game reference?
Arthur La Forge: How do you not….why are you even working here?
Mary DeSue: Don’t get mad at me just because I don’t play Super Mario the Hedgehog!
WaLink crumbles but Kylie catches them, transitioning to a rear waistlock she hauls WaLink over with a german suplex. She keeps the waistlock applied, standing and taking WaLink to Suplex City with another German Suplex! Then another! And Another! AND ANOTHER!! Finally, with a vicious grin Kylie stands, dragging the pathetically beaten WaLink up. She motions with one hand for the end and...Locks in the rings of Saturn! Its Venom! WaLink doesn’t hesitate and taps almost immediately!!
Mr. Rad: The winner of the match in her debut...KYLIE MOORE!
Arthur La Forge: One WaLuigi is the same as the next.
Mary DeSue: I like this Boss Lady though. She’s goin’ places.
Arthur La Forge: If she’s as dominant as she was here, I believe it. Let’s go backstage now...
---
We cut to backstage with Eli Goode getting his leather jacket. He starts stretching trying to focus on his match. He looks over and sees E.A. Blizzard on his phone. Eli looks around making sure no one can see him and slowly sneaks up to EAB. He hides from him and listens in on the conversation.
EAB: Yes, I understand the concern but that is something you must overcome, trust me, trust the process. Results will speak for themselves just like they have in the past, this is a marathon, not a sprint. This isn’t about being selfish but for the good of everyone involved..
There is a slight pause. The small smile that EAB had slowly disappears. After a beat, the smile returns and he nods.
EAB: Yes, thank you for the talk. Goode-bye now.
EAB slowly hangs up the phone and turns around. Eli steps out of the shadows and stares down EAB.
EAB: Mr. Goode, what can I do for you?
Eli Goode: No, no, don’t give me that ‘Mr. Goode’ crap. Who were you on the phone with?
EAB: That is none of your concerns. It was a private conversation between someone none of your concern and myself. If anything Mr. Goode, it is not just impolite to eavesdrop on another people’s conversation but it was rather rude.
Eli Goode: None of my concern? Was it The Developer?’
EAB scoffs at the suggestion of it being the Developer. EAB tries to walk away from Eli, but Eli grabs his arm.
Eli Goode: Uh uh, you’re not walking away from me.
EAB looks down at Eli.
EAB: Mr. Goode, I suggest that you remove your hand from my arm right now. Unless you want me to remove it for you.
Eli Goode: No, because I know what you’ve been doing. Ever since you got here, you’ve been pulling all the stings you could to get ahead of people. You’ve been pulling strings to get opportunities that you don’t deserve. How? Do you have dirt on the Developer? Do you know who they are?
EAB: Don’t be absurd. I’ve earned all of my opportunities.
Eli Goode: Really? Then how in the hell are you in this multiplayer match? You lost to Tirri. You shouldn’t be in this match.
EAB: I could say the same thing to you. Tact knocked you out. Out of the four people in this match, you are the person that deserves to be in it the least.
Eli Goode: At least I’m able to go up against people like Jack Michaels and win. I’ve earned this match by proving how valuable I am. You haven’t earned that yet. You’re nothing but a two-timing low life.
EAB takes in a deep breath and smiles.
EAB: I hope you got all that anger out of your system. If you’ll excuse me…
He jerks his arm out of Eli’s grasp. Eli seethes with anger but refuses to attack EAB. EAB continues to stare down Eli.
EAB: I have a match to prepare for. Good luck out there tonight Mr. Goode, I have a feeling you might need it more than me.
EAB walks away from Eli. Eli keeps his eye on him trying to not lose it.

Brandon Hendrix vs. Boris Forstora
As the bell rings the two hosses circle each other slowly. Boris seems unafraid of Brandon’s frightening appearance and nature. He proves this by charging in and laying the wood to Hendrix right out the gate! He backs him up to the ropes and keeps throwing punches until the ref reaches a count of four! Boris whips Hendrix into the ropes and levels him with a big boot as he comes back. Boris is on fire as he bounces off the ropes and nails a big leg drop. He stands to raise his arms to the crowd...AND HENDRIX SITS UP!!
Arthur La Forge: Boris Forstora didn’t need a lot to win his last match, but the Messiah is a lot different than a WaLuigi.
Mary DeSue: But not as creepy, somehow.
Arthur La Forge:Maybe it’s because he can actually talk?
Mary DeSue: Something like that, yeah.
Hendrix gets up and waits for Boris to turn around before he lays him out with a big throat thrust! Boris is up quickly but Brandon stays on him, raining punches and knee strikes onto the other big man until he is in a corner. Hendrix grabs onto the top rope and begins raining down hard right hands until Boris is driven into a seated position. Hendrix then sets to stomping a mudhole into Boris!!
Arthur La Forge: Boris Forstora is not a small man, but The Messiah is sure making good use of that explosive power against him.
Mary DeSue: It took dropping him on his head like...ten times in a row just for Sister Sin to get by him last week.
Arthur La Forge: Yeah so Boris is going to have to think of something big.
Hendrix then backs up to the opposite corner and charges in, all but crushing Boris’ head with a running knee strike! He then lifts him up and with a grunt of effort he launches Boris from the corner with a belly to belly suplex!! Brandon Hendrix stalks Boris as he slowly gets to his feet. As he stands its on rubber legs but he has his dukes up! He turns unsteadily only to get his throat snatches by Hendrix and..CHOKESLAM! Hendrix goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH--NO! Boris kicks out! Hendrix stares down at him but pays it no mind as he pulls Boris up with him..but Boris breaks free! He begins laying the wood into Hendrix, whipping him into the ropes..SPINEBUSTER!! BORIS NAILS HENDRIX’S SPINE ON THE PINE!! He pulls Hendrix up and goes for a brainbuster but Hendrix bashes his knee into Boris’ head, causing Boris to set him down. Hendrix then takes him down with a snap suplex and lifts him up...REAPER’S WISH!! HENDRIX GOES FOR THE PIN!
ONE!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!
Mr. Rad: The winner if the match is THE MESSIAH, BRANDON HENDRIX!
Arthur La Forge: Boris Forstora took the fight to the Messiah but that Reaper’s Wish is lethal.
Mary DeSue: He hasn’t failed with it yet!
Arthur La Forge: No, he hasn’t. And if he’s looking to get revenge over Lord Raab, I wonder if Raab can handle it.
Mary DeSue: I guess we’ll see later on if he can even get by Nocturne. Hendrix already beat her.
---
Lord Raab vs. Nocturne
After a break, we’re back in the ring for the match, with Lord Raab standing still, staring down Nocturne. Slowly, they begin to circle each other. Raab goes to lock up but Nocturne slips his grasp and attempts to kick his leg out from under him. Raab eats the impact before pie facing her, only to turn Nocturne inside out as she rises with a thunderous clothesline! The fans pop at the display of violence as Raab stands over the downed Nocturne, staring out blankly over the socially distanced audience.
Arthur La Forge: Nocturne gave Brandon Hendrix a fight, even if she lost. She might be looking to prove herself against another masked monster tonight.
Mary DeSue: Heck of a job she’s doing so far.
Arthur La Forge: Match just started, let’s see what she can do before we judge, hmm?
Mary DeSue: Sure thing, Dad.
Raab turns as Nocturne gets to her hands and knees. He reaches down and grabs her by the scruff of her neck, ripping her to her feet and lifting her up. Raab stalls in a display of power before dropping the rookie down over his tree like knee. Raab isn’t done as he lifts her back up and sliders her over his shoulder. He stalls another second before running forward and nailing a thunderous powerslam! Raab goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR...NO NOCTURNE KICKS OUT!
Arthur La Forge: See? That move would have probably finished a normal wrestler. And definitely a WaLuigi.
Mary DeSue: Are you trying to say that because she’s better than a WaLuigi, she’s good?
Arthur La Forge: Yes?
Mary DeSue: And you don’t see a problem with that?
Arthur La Forge: No?
The Masked German monster pays no heed as he rises up, dragging Nocturne with him. Suddenly the rookie comes alive! Low dropkick! Raab is taken down to one knee! A big enziguri! Nocturne is feeling it and Raab is shaken. She bounces off the ropes and nails a shining wizard..RAAB IS DOWN! Nocturn Can’t believe it! She scrambles for the top rope….but RAAB GETS UP AS SHE JUMPS! HE CATCHES HER BY THE THROAT! CHOKESLAM!!! CHOKIENATOR!! Raab stands over Nocturne, before resting a boot on her chest.
ONE!
TWO!!!
THREEE!!!
Mr. Rad: The winner, in his debut, The Masked German Monster, LORD RAAB!
Arthur La Forge: Raab is a veteran and has dominated everywhere he’s been, and it looks like Level Up will be no different.
Mary DeSue: Well he’s certainly caught The Messiah’s interest. I’m sure he’s watching.
Arthur La Forge: Probably is...somewhere.
Mary DeSue: Maybe even...RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
Arthur La Forge: What! NO! Wait….DON”T DO THAT!

Bert McAlroy vs. ISAAC
Bert McAlroy eyes up ISAAC, who tries to intimidate him with his overwhelming size, but Bert doesn't back down, instead choosing to punch him right in the mouth. ISAAC returns in kind and the two exchange blows. ISAAC eventually gets the upper hand, being bigger, and buries a knee in McAlroy's stomach, before capitalizing with a swinging neckbreaker. He grabs at the head of McAlroy and attempts to crank the neck, but Bert kicks him in the shin and then rolls out of the ring to create some distance.
Mary DeSue: Look at that! The little stoner’s scared!
Arthur La Forge:I think we both know that’s not true. Bert’s giving up a lot of size to ISAAC and it’s smart not to let a guy that size grab him.
Mary DeSue: Or maybe he’s looking to steal more of...nevermind.
Arthur La Forge: Yes, we’ve heard all about your drug war on Twitter.
Mary DeSue: You don’t even have a Twitter!
McAlroy slides back into the ring and locks up with ISAAC, before Bert puts a foot back onto the ropes and jumps up in the air to apply a headlock. ISAAC doesn't wait to let the hold do any damage, if it could, as he elbows McAlroy in the ribs and shoves him off. The second ISAAC has moved to a standing position, he punches him in the mouth again. He then runs forward, firing a huge forearm to the side of ISAAC's head, but the big man still doesn't go down. McAlroy tries kicking him right in the kneecap and follows that up with a Bong Water superkick! ISSAC finally drops down and Bert jumps on top for the pinfall!
ONE!
TW---ISAAC shoots his arm up to get out, showing it's too early to put him away.
Arthur La Forge: Not even a two cout after one of Bert’s signature moves!
Mary DeSue: Hahaha! This is great!
Arthur La Forge: Mary DeSue, unbiased journalist.
Mary DeSue: I never said I was a journalist. I’m an influencer. And I want to influence people to hate Dirt McAloser.
McAlroy brings ISAAC to his feet and twists the arm. He then throws a few more forearms into ISAAC's head while he has him in his grip, which drops his opponent into a kneel. Bert sees an opportunity and attempts an armbar, but ISAAC simply stands up and has Bert hanging. He lifts McAlroy up into the air and then slams him back down, forcing a break, as well as forcing all of the air out of his opponent's lungs. ISAAC then quickly lifts Bert up by the shoulders and then hits him with a huge headbutt! Bert stumbles backward into the far right corner. ISAAC charges in and McAlroy gets a boot up, but ISAAC simply grabs the leg and yanks him forward, before tossing him back with a release suplex.
Arthur La Forge: The scary thing about ISAAC is I don’t think he knows how strong he is. If he did, he’d be unstoppable.
Mary DeSue: That’s dumb. Did you see him toss Bert like it was nothing? He knows.
Arthur La Forge: Then why is he letting James Wilcox boss him around?
ISAAC circles around the smaller McAlroy and begins to stomp down on him. He then allows Bert to get back to his feet before kicking him in the ribs and knocking him down again. McAlroy scoots away and gets to the ropes, using the to pull himself to his feet. He leans against the ropes to regain his breath, but ISAAC charges with a raised knee, catching Bert in the face and shoving him through the ropes to the outside. As he falls out, McAlroy's back catches the apron and he almost lands on his head.
Arthur La Forge: ISAAC just doesn’t care! McAlroy could have cracked his skull on that landing!
Mary DeSue: Calm down, he’s not dead yet.
Arthur La Forge:: Not for lack of trying.
ISAAC chooses not to let the referee count the opponent out, sliding outside to grab him. Bert has pulled himself to his feet using the apron. ISAAC attempts to hit him with a right hand, but McAlroy blocks it and nails a DDT out of desperation on the floor! The crowd gasps at the thud ISAAC's head makes when it connects with the thin protective mats on the outside. Bert rolls back into the ring and tries to regain his breath while ISAAC stirs on the outside. The referee begins a count..
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
ISAAC is moving more, forcing himself up to his elbows.
FOUR!
FIVE!
ISAAC is now up to a knee. Bert sees this and climbs up to the top rope, before diving off with a sloppy dive from the top just as ISAAC finally stands! McAlroy's abdomen catches ISAAC in the head and forces him down, while Bert is lucky he doesn't overshoot his target and land on his face.
Mary DeSue: Aren’t you going to get mad at Bert for nearly killing himself?
Arthur La Forge: It’s one thing if he does it himself, it’s another if his opponent is trying to hurt him.
Mary DeSue: Not really, either way he ends up dead!
Arthur La Forge: Your compassion for your fellow humans is startling.
With both men down, the referee begins his count again.
One!
Two!
McAlroy, who took the least of the impact, has now pulled himself up using the ring apron.
Three!
Four!
ISAAC is also starting to stir. Bert grabs him and rolls him inside of the ring before sliding in behind him. He waits for ISAAC to stand before nailing him with a few punches to the head. He then attempts a kick, but ISAAC is just aware enough to grab the leg and throw it backward, causing McAlroy to flip forward and hit the mat face first. As Bert rolls over holding his face, ISAAC grabs his legs and catapults him into the turnbuckle.
Arthur La Forge: ISAAC is just toying with Bert at this point, even though McAlroy hits him with offense, that power is almost overwhelming.
Mary DeSue: Let’s just hope the referee checked him for a blunt this time.
Arthur La Forge: Are you still on that?
Mary DeSue: HE CHEATED RICCI!
Bert doesn't fall down, using the corner to hold himself up. ISAAC turns around and charges, but McAlroy low-bridges him and he spills over the top rope. ISAAC lands on the apron and grabs Bert, but Bert grabs him by the head and pulls it down across the top rope. ISAAC drops to a knee, still on the apron, with his head now hanging on the middle rope. McAlroy takes a few steps back and charges forward, catching ISAAC in the temple with a vicious knee! ISAAC's head is knocked to the side and he slumps over, eventually tumbling into the ring. Bert then wastes no time in getting into position, and as ISAAC starts to get up, Bert flies in with the GIVE HER THE BERT! He's not done yet, as he then scales the top rope and jumps off with MAXIMUM EFFORT! He lands hard across the chest of the bigger man, knocking the wind out of him. The referee counts...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE! ISAAC tosses Bert off of him with authority, but it’s a half-second too late!
Mr. Rad: The winner of the match...surprisingly...is BERT MCALROY!
Arthur La Forge: Just like that, it’s over! Bert hit a rapid-fire series of moves and surprised the Faction member long enough to get the pin!
Mary DeSue: Son of a…
Arthur La Forge:Might just have to start calling him the giant killer! Although it was not easy at all against ISSAC, who had the match won at various points.
Mary DeSue: Stupid dinosaurs playing with their food.
McAlroy sees ISAAC beginning to get to his feet and he doesn’t stick around long enough for round two, choosing to celebrate his win on the ramp.

The Faction vs. Sidroy Covington IV & Jenny
The match starts off with SC4 and Drake starting off with Drake and SC4 locking up. Drake tosses SC4 into the ropes and goes for a big boot to the face, but SC4 ducks it and hits the other side of the ropes. On the bounceback SC4 rushes at Drake with a flying cross body but Drake catches him and bodyslams SC4 into the mat. Drake grabs SC4 and drags him over to "The Faction's corner while Jenny claps her hands to get the fans on their side...kinda...sorta...she's scaring some people in the front row to be honest with you. Tag into James and Drake picks up SC4 and slams SC4 onto his knee with a backbreaker as James does a top rope knee right to the throat of SC4! SC4 gasps for air as the hit knocks the wind out of his whole body while James reaches down and picks him up. James grabs SC4 by the head and says "I AM THE TRUE CHAMPION!!" and tosses SC4 into the ropes. On the bounceback SC4 gets planted into the center of the ring with a devastating spinebuster!! James Wilcox poses for a moment to the rousing boo's of the audience before he tags in Drake once again. Drake picks up SC4 and sets him up for a powerbomb that James grabs SC4's shoulders and they both slam SC4 into the mat! Cover...
ONE...
Breakup by Jenny! She flies across the ring with a flying elbow that hits Drake in the back of the head! James rushes into the ring and kicks Jenny and the ref pulls James off of her and tells him to get back to his corner while he checks on Jenny. James, taking the opportunity, grabs SC4 and drags him to "The Faction's" corner as Drake rolls over there as well grabbing the back of his head.
Arthur La Forge: James Wilcox is looking to make a big statement ahead of the Skeleton Key match at Dead by Daylight.
Mary DeSue: Heck, if he pins Siddy, he might get TWO title shots!
Arthur La Forge: Would he take both? Or give one of them to his Faction teammates?
Mary DeSue: I think he’d take them. He would have earned it!
While Jenny is being reprimanded by the referee we see Barnabus yelling at SC4 to get up and tag in Jenny. He also eye's the corner where Jenny has SC4's Wisdom Title. Jenny gets back into the corner and Barnabus stands close, watching between her and the ring action. Meanwhile, Drake tags in James and Drake runs to the ropes. James picks up SC4 into a bearhug and Drake hits SC4 with a big boot to the face, sending the Wisdom Champion down to the mat. SC4 looks worse for wear as James drags SC4 to the center of the ring. He slaps on The Sharpshooter as SC4 screams out! SC4 screams in utter agony as he tries to push himself up to try and drag himself closer to his corner. James keeps wrenching trying to keep SC4 locked down but nothing is gonna deter the Wisdom Champion. Jenny reaches out for the tag as Barnabus goes to grab the Wisdom Title and Jenny quickly turns and waves her finger in front of him. She then reaches into her top and...TOSSES A SPIDER AT BARNABUS!
Mary DeSue: OH GROSS!
Arthur La Forge: I’m pretty sure that was a fake spider...Pretty sure.
Mary DeSue: But why would she keep it there?!
Barnabus seems disturbed and backs away from the obviously fake spider. Sidroy screams at Jenny as he shoves forward. He reaches out his hand to her and...DRAKE INTERRUPTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE OF JENNY! James and Drake pick up SC4 and toss him into the corner as the ref yells at Drake for breaking up the action. Drake quickly gets back to his corner and James goes and tags him in. Jenny gets back up and starts laughing at James. [/i]
Arthur La Forge: What is she laughing for?
Mary DeSue: Maybe she liked the kick she got?
Arthur La Forge: She’s very weird. Never can tell with her.
Mary DeSue: Seems to be working for her so far...
James berates Jenny from across the ring as she still cackles. Drake grabs SC4 and tosses him into the ropes. He's going for the big boot to the face again, but SC4 grabs the ropes. Drake keeps going and SC4 pulls the top rope down and Drake catches himself on the downed top rope! Both men hit the mat. James yells at Drake to get tag him, and SC4 crawls his way to the corner. SC4 musters his strength and leaps forward tagging Jenny! Jenny charges forward and blasts Drake in the back with a double knee strike to the back! She gets up and goes to clock James, but James grabs her arm...He spins her around...She reaches back..."The Crowning"!!! The Ace Crusher hits on the top of the post sending James flying off to the outside. Drake starts to get back up as Jenny charges forward and "Jennycarana"!! She grabs Drake and picks him up...toss into the ropes..."The Crowning"!! Cover!!
ONE...
TWO...
James charges forward to try to break up the count as SC4 gets into the ring and hits James...Pele Kick!!!
THREE!!!
Mr. Rad: Here are your winners...the team of Jenny and Sidroy Covington IIII!!!
Arthur La Forge: They had trouble at the last show but somehow, this oddball team managed to overcome their differences and win.
Mary DeSue: Hey look, Barnabus is manning up! GET THAT BELT BARNY!
Barnabus grabs the Wisdom Belt as SC4 gets out of the ring. SC4 looks happy...releif. Then suddenly Jenny grabs SC4 from behind and hits "Royal Pain In The Ass" on him! Barnabus stands his ground as Jenny walks up to him. Barnabus shakes as Jenny hits "The Crowning"!! Jenny grabs the Wisdom belt and heads up the entrance way as she licks the title...
Arthur La Forge: Okay now THAT is gross.
Mary DeSue: There’s no way that’s hygienic.
Arthur La Forge: No way at all. Will Sidroy even want the belt back now?
---
Duncan Shepard vs. Sister Sin
Shepard and Sin stare down each other for a brief moment as the bell rings and both start throwing fists left and right to try and get one up on the other. Two new superstars wanting to make their mark show their vigor and virocity, but one has to win this battle of the punches and it turns out to be Sister Sin. She ducks a right hook from Shepard and she runs past him hitting the ropes. On the rebound she comes back with a flying back elbow that Shepard takes to the face! She keeps hitting Shepard with chops to the chest over and over until she gets him to the ropes. She pushes him into the ropes and slings him across. On the rebound she sets him up for a back body drop which connects sending the larger man onto the mat. Quick as a flash Sin is up on the second rope, the most dangerous rope, and leaps off hitting a diving elbow to the sternum of the "Commander". She reaches down and picks up Shepard and kicks him in the gut. "Sinful Prayer"! She hits the tornado DDT on her fellow skeleton key qualifier and goes for a quick pin attempt...
ONE...
Kickout by Shepard!
Arthur La Forge: It’s still too early to get the pin over a wrestler like Shepard, but Sister Sin gets points for taking the fight to him.
Mary DeSue: Plus those DDTs got her the win last show.
Sin starts to argue with the ref for a moment, but retains her calm...well as calm as Sister Sin can be, honestly. She turns and runs to punt kick Shepard in the ribs as he starts to crawl, but Shepard rolls out of the way and kips up. Sin rushes at Shepard and Sin leaps at Shepard with a cross body block, but Shepard catches Sin in mid-air and hits a powerslam on her! He quickly slaps her in an arm wringer as he tries to work down her arm since he knows she likes to go for DDT variants. Sin shimmies herself on the mat to where she gets a foot on the ropes and the ref calls for Shepard to let her go of the arm hold. Shepard does but not before dropping an elbow to the back of Sin's head! Trying to match her unorthodox style Shepard backs away for just a moment, getting some distance between them. Sin gets up only to get taken back down by a "Biotic Charge" by Shepard! The spear sends her down to the mat, and Shepard quickly sets up Sin for a "Neural Shock" to wear her down. The Dragon Sleeper does wear down Sister Sin, but Shepard is wanting to end this quickly, so he converts the sleeper into a "Overload"! The Reverse DDT hits...Cover!
ONE...
TWO...
KICKOUT BY SIN!!
Arthur La Forge: Now it’s Shepard who experiences some disappointment, as several moves in a row are unable to put Sin away!
Mary DeSue: Why are all the moves named after dorky video game things?
Arthur La Forge: How would you even know?
Mary DeSue: I read Twitter. You would know if you had one.
Shepard doesn't get frustrated but decides he's had enough of this and calls for the end. He picks up Sin and tosses her into the ropes. He goes to set up a back body drop, but Sin leaps over him! Turn around. Kick to the gut. She's going for "Sinister Thoughts”, but Shepard grabs her and shoves her back into the ropes. On the bounceback he slingshots Sin into the other side of the ring. She bounces off the ropes right into "Reaper's Bane"!! Cover...
ONE...
TWO...
REVERSAL PIN BY SIN!!!
ONE...
TWO...
REVERSAL BY SHEPARD!!!
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
Mr. Rad: Here is your winner...Duncan "Commander" Shepard!!
Arthur La Forge: Wow! That was really close! Shepard hit his finish but Sin still managed to steal one!
Mary DeSue: He got lucky as far as I’m concerned.
Arthur La Forge: Maybe. But I think he just used his experience to realize what was happening and turn it around. It might not happen that way the next time these two square off.

Don Tirri & Eli Goode vs. EAB & Larry Tact
Both Goode and Don Tirri eye up their opponents, who charge forward before the bell to attempt a cheap shot. Luckily their opponents have them well scouted and duck the clothesline attempts, spinning around on the balls of their feet and nailing strikes. Goode hits EAB with a high knee to the jaw, spilling him to the outside, while Tirri hits Tact in the gut with a simple toe kick. Goode snapmares Tact down as Tirri bounces off the other side of the ring, coming back and hitting him with a simple kick to the face!
Arthur La Forge: Okay, as we get going here, let’s explain the rules. If Eli Goode can pin Larry Tact, he gets Tact’s spot in the Skeleton Key match at Dead by Daylight. If EAB can pin Don Tirri, he gets Tirri’s spot. But obviously if the pinfall happens any other way, it’s just a normal ending and no spots are taken.
Mary DeSue: The Developer made things really confusing.
Arthur La Forge: It’s not...not really. Tact and Tirri are going to be fighting a little extra hard to avoid pinfall here.
Mary DeSue: Well I’m rooting for any team with Tirri on it.
Larry attempts a punch on Tirri, who responds with a clubbing blow to the face. As Tact stumbles backward, Tirri grabs him and throws him at the other side of the ring. As Tact comes back from bouncing off the ropes, Tirri charges forward with a clothesline. Tact flops down onto his back and turns over in an attempt to get up, but Tirri drops down and grabs him to attempt the 'Daddy's Chokeout'. Tact quickly ducks down and backpeddles out of position, as he starts to stand up, he's in his own corner so EAB tags himself in. Tirri rushes forward with an attempt at The Boot, but Blizzard sidesteps it. The momentum carries Tirri to the opposing corner, where Tact reaches over and pops him in the jaw with a right hand. He stumbles backward and EAB grabs him from behind with a neckbreaker!
Arthur La Forge: EAB likely feels entitled to that spot in the Skeleton Key match and he’s going to make sure he beats Tirri for it.
Mary DeSue: Leave him alone, you big bald [BLEEP]!
Arthur La Forge: Are you trying to get yourself hurt? Or us kicked off Twitch?
Mary DeSue: Wouldn’t be my fault. It’d be EAB’s fault for being a big bald [BLEEP].
Arthur La Forge: KNOCK IT OFF!
Tirri's dazed and as 'Old School Cool' gets to his feet, Blizzard scoops him up into his 'Crunch Time' bearhug! Tirri cries out in pain and reaches to remove the hands of EAB. Before anything else can happen, Eli Goode comes in and hits a shotgun dropkick to the back to break up the hold! EAB drops to a knee as Tirri tries to regain his breath. The referee orders Goode back to his corner and he does so.
Arthur La Forge: Goode doesn’t like the double teams on Tirri but if he gets himself disqualified, that won’t help anyone.
Mary DeSue: It’d help Tirri! Tirri could still keep his spot!
Arthur La Forge:I get the feeling Goode cares more about Tact’s spot than Tirri’s.
Mary DeSue: Well then, he needs to sort out his priorities!
Tirri is now up to his feet and tries to get to Goode to tag, but EAB gets in between and delivers a stiff forearm to the jaw. He then grabs Tirri in a suplex and hangs him on the middle rope...then drives him down with a DDT! Tirri slumps over but EAB doesn't make the cover. Instead, he drags Tirri to his corner and tags in Tact. He hoists up Tirri and holds him in place, allowing Tact to kick him directly in his ribcage. Tirri drops to his knees and holds his chest, coughing and gasping for air. Tact puts him down on the mat and goes for a cover
ONE!
TWO!
NO! Tirri kicks out!
Mary DeSue: YES! KICK OUT THICC DADDY!
Arthur La Forge: You know, I’m sure if you slid in his DMs…
Mary DeSue: Nah, I like to worship from afar.
Arthur La Forge: You’re a complicated individual.
Tact forces Tirri into the turnbuckle and jumping knee lift to the jaw. Tirri's head rocks back and then Tact hits him with another one. He then takes a few steps back and charges forward with a knee right into the ribs, as it's apparently that's the target. Tirri stumbles out coughing loudly, with Tact smiling at his work. He forces 'Old School Cool' to his feet and pushes him forward, then waits for him to turn around before nailing him with his 'Humbling' Uranage suplex! He drops down for the cover!
ONE!
TWO---NO! Tirri limply gets his shoulder up, with more trouble than before.
Arthur La Forge: I don’t think it’ll take much more now. Two powerful wrestlers are beating the hell out of Don Tirri in there.
Mary DeSue: Eli needs to be a better tag team partner and GET IN THERE.
Arthur La Forge: You think Tirri would really be happy with a DQ loss?
Mary DeSue: More than he would losing his spot!
Tact tosses Tirri into the ropes and expects him to return, but Tirri wraps his arms around the top and holds on. Tact charges but Tirri gets his foot up, kicking him right in the mouth! Tact staggers back holding his mouth and Tirri looks over to Eli Goode, who is all the way across the ring. He staggers a few steps and drops to his knees out of air, then tries to crawl the rest of the way. He is nearly there when EAB appears behind Eli, grabbing the ankle and yanking him off the apron! Eli's head smacks the ring steps on her way down and he falls down, clearly hurt. Tirri sighs in exasperation, turning around to face Tact who is already up. He has no time to catch his breath, so he starts forward slower than normal. Tact, who is relatively fresh, ducks a clothesline attempt then reaches behind him, grabs his opponent and nails a swinging neckbreaker, then the cover!
ONE!
TWO
THR--NO! Tirri tosses his shoulder up.
Arthur La Forge: Tirri is still managing to survive!
Mary DeSue: YESSSSSSS
Arthur La Forge: And Tact doesn’t look happy about it all. EA Blizzard DEFINITELY doesn’t.
Tact rolls off of Tirri and moves to the corner, tagging EAB back in. EAB climbs up the turnbuckle of his corner with Tirri lying prone, trying to recover. Over in the corner, Eli Goode is finally back on the apron, holding a bloody lip with a look of anger on his face. EAB smirks at her and looks down at Tirri and dives off with an elbow from the second turnbuckle...but Tirri moves out of the way! Both men are now down on the mat!
Arthur La Forge: EAB went out of his comfort zone and Don Tirri made him pay!
Mary DeSue: Good! Now get to Eli! He’s fresh!
Arthur La Forge: You know, it wouldn’t kill you to be a little unbiased.
Mary DeSue: I’ll try in the next match. I promise.
Tirri begins to crawl toward Eli while EAB is holding his arm in pain. Tact yells at him to make the tag and EAB gets up to his hands and knees, shaking his head. Tirri is now almost at his corner now, only a foot or so away from tagging his partner. EAB sees what's going on and has to decide quickly to tag his partner or stop Tirri. He opts for the latter and dives forward, grabbing the foot of Tirri! He begins to drag him back toward his corner and then tags in his partner, Tirri kicking and struggling to get away the entire time. EAB lets go and exits the ring, and Tirri begins to crawl to his corner again. Tact comes in and jumps up in the air, driving an elbow to the back of his opponent to end that.
Arthur La Forge: Eli’s arm is still healing but I think he’d be in much better condition than Tirri at this point.
Mary DeSue: His opponents are just mean.
Arthur La Forge: Tact and EAB are gelling together as a team better than I thought they would.
Tact lifts up Tirri and begins to trash talk him, but Tirri fires up and traps the arms, hitting his 'Morning After' headbutts. Each one staggers Tact and knocks him loopy, enough for Tirri to scoop him up and toss him behind him with his Sack of Sh*t Fallaway slam! He drops down out of breath, but manages to get himself back up and dive for his corner, tagging in Eli! Goode charges in like a house of fire and begins to strike anything that moves. FIrst Tact gets an elbow to the head and then he charges forward with a low dropkick to the knees of EAB, causing him to fall and smack his face on the apron. Goode turns his attention back to Tact, as that rivalry seems like it will never die. Larry misses a lariat and Goode drops down to connect with a Pele kick! Goode then waits for him to get up and connects with a Sling Blade, using the good arm! He makes the count, looking to steal Tact's spot in the Skeleton Key match!
ONE!
TWO!!!
THR--NO! EAB is back in and breaks up the count!
Arthur La Forge: EAB just saved Larry Tact’s spot for him..but more importantly for him, he still has a chance to take Don Tirri’s.
Mary DeSue: Well he’s not gonna get it! GO ELI!
Arthur La Forge: Goode is a house afire, as the phrase goes, so it’s going to be hard to put a stop to him right now.
EAB grabs the hand of Tact and tries to drag him away from Goode, but Goode grabs him by the waist and rushes him into the ropes and pushes him outside. Tact grabs the waistband of Goode and attempts to roll him up, but Goode hits a mule kick that knocks Tact backward into the referee. With the referee momentarily distracted, Blizzard reaches down and grabs his briefcase, swinging it into the bad arm of Eli Goode! Goode falls down, clutching at his cast. Tirri has seen enough and runs around the ring, flinging himself at EAB who has the same idea, and they hit each other with a double clothesline outside the ring! Goode gets to his feet, holding his arm, and the shot with the briefcase is enough to give Tact time to recover, who immediately grabs Eli and DROPS HIM WITH THE STARBREAKER! He stacks him up with a pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!!!
Mr. Rad: The winners of the match...LARRY TACT and EA BLIZZARD! However, since Tact got the pin, NONE of the Skeleton Key positions will change!
Arthur La Forge: Oh come on! Eli Goode was kicking all kinds of butt and EAB ruined it with that briefcase of his!
Mary DeSue: Who cares? DON TIRRI KEEPS HIS SPOT!
Arthur La Forge: But he lost the match, thanks to EAB’s briefcase shot!
Mary DeSue: Yeah, yeah, sucks to be Eli...DON TIRRI KEEPS HIS SPOT!
Arthur La Forge: And Larry Tact and EAB get wins, even if EAB is now unable to qualify for the match. He doesn’t seem happy that he didn’t get the pinfall, either.
After the match is over, Tirri heads to the back and Tact follows, neither really concerned with their partners anymore. Goode is in the ring, trying to shake the feeling back into the arm. He doesn't seem to notice Blizzard sneaking in behind him with the briefcase, looking to do more damage after Goode got his face earlier. Eli gets to his feet and suddenly drops back with a pele kick, knocking the briefcase out of EAB's hands! Blizzard looks back as the briefcase falls outside, then turns back around and GOODE HITS A SLING BLADE! EA Blizzard falls down and immediately rolls out of the ring, as Goode stands with a moral victory, even if EAB cost him his chance at the Skeleton Key match.
Mary DeSue: See? Eli gets a...sort of win?
Arthur La Forge: He managed to avoid getting the treatment Don Tirri got at EXP 8 at least. But I have a feeling this new rivalry with Blizzard is far from over...

Magdalena Lockheart vs. Antonio Ricci
Antonio and Maggie meet in the center of the ring where the referee makes sure they're ready before calling for the bell. Ricci begins talking trash and Lockheart will have none of it, punching him in the face. The match is under KO rules but the blow was more of a show of disrespect than an attempt to win. Ricci's head jerks back to stare at her coldly. He takes a wild swing out of anger and Lockheart ducks it and begins to pepper Ricci with jabs to the ribs and face, alternating to keep him off-balance as she completes Beat Rush! Antonio is backed into the corner and the smaller Lockheart takes a few steps back, before charging forward and leaping into the air with a dropkick in the corner. Ricci holds the side of his face and drops to the mat, rolling out of the ring of his own volition.
Arthur La Forge: Here we go, folks! Super Punch-Out match, knockout rules, winner is the Final Boss Champion!
Mary DeSue: I don’t like that Maggie can just decide who gets a title shot, but maybe...no, definitely, Ricci will make her pay!
Arthur La Forge: Antonio Ricci is a knockout artist around here, so he definitely has the skill to do it.
Ricci circles along the ring and Lockheart does not pursue. He rolls back inside the ring and seemingly nods in appreciation at her but this is only a ploy to get close enough to reach out and return the disrespectful slap from earlier. Lockheart doesn't get a chance to respond, as he pulls her into a headlock. Ricci uses his size advantage to grind the hold in, avoiding Lockheart's attempts to escape. She resorts to strikes again, delivering a stiff elbow right to Ricci's ribs. Another one weakens Ricci's grip and Lockheart slips her head out by stepping backward. She backs off the opposite ropes and charges forward, only to be caught unexpectedly when Ricci whips around and hits her with a standard drop toehold. He then floats over and reapplies the front facelock in one fluid motion. A smile forms on Ricci's face as he yells out at the unappreciative crowd.
Arthur La Forge: We may have a limited capacity here, but they are letting Ricci know what they think of him.
Mary DeSue: They’re just jealous that he’s smarter than they are. He got screwed by the stoner and STILL managed to get a title match!
Arthur La Forge: That’s one way to look at it. I thought you were gonna be unbiased?
Mary DeSue: I said I’d try. And well, Rome wasn’t built in day, Artie...
Instead of working the headlock, Ricci lifts Lockheart to her feet before adjusting and grabbing her head in a stunner position. Before she has time to react, he flips her over with a snapmare takedown. He then takes a few steps back before unleashing a swift kick to her spine. He turns around and throws up his arms at the crowd, who boo him for his arrogance. He steps back again and extends both of his legs to hit a low dropkick, connecting with the back of Lockheart's head and returning the favor from earlier. The referee drops down to see if Lockheart is still conscious, and she waves him away.
Arthur La Forge: The champion is still in this, but not for lack of trying.
Mary DeSue: Are we sure that counts? Shouldn’t she vocalize it or something?
Arthur La Forge: The referee seemed satisfied with her response.
Mary DeSue: Well maybe we need a new referee!
Ricci lifts Lockheart to her feet and locks up her arm and head for a standard suplex. She slips out the back and grabs a waistlock. Ricci attempts to elbow her away but she ducks, causing him to spin around with enough force that he's facing her. She charges forward, using as much power as she can to force Ricci into the corner. She adds a shoulder thrust to throw Ricci off guard and then steps up the middle rope jumps off to connect with a step-up enziguri! Ricci slumps down and grimaces in pain, before forcing himself to his feet and running. This time Lockheart sees him coming and yanks down the top rope, causing Ricci to spill to the outside. She eyes him up and once he's to his feet, springboards off the ropes and hits a METEORA TO THE OUTSIDE!
Arthur La Forge: That can’t be good for the champion’s knees but she’s doing what she can to take out Ricci!
Mary DeSue: He’s still awake! I can tell from here!
Arthur La Forge: Sure you can...
Both Lockheart and Ricci are stunned on the outside, but neither appear to be KO'd so the match continues. Lockheart begins to stir, rolling onto her hands and knees and pulling herself up. She stomps Ricci then pulls him up to a standing base. She begins to once again pepper Ricci with rights and lefts, backing him up into the apron. She delivers a strong shot to the abdomen and when Ricci doubles over, she lifts up her leg and cracks him in the jaw with a kneelift! Lockheart makes a circle to gain some distance, then charges at Ricci to pull something off. Ricci lowers his head again, but this time catches Lockheart coming and backdrops her into the ropes! She bounces off and has to tuck her head in enough to protect her neck, but her shoulder blades drop down on to the ring apron before she spills onto the floor, flipping over and landing abdomen first.Ricci grabs Lockheart and tosses her back inside after the sick fall, then rolls in himself.
Arthur La Forge: What is it with people trying to injure other people tonight?
Mary DeSue:Hey, he’s just trying to knock her out!
Arthur La Forge: There are easier ways to do it than nearly breaking her neck!
Mary DeSue: But Ricci doesn’t want to do those ways!
The referee checks on Maggie, who is still conscious. Ricci curses a little but maintains his composure. He gets up and gets Lockheart in his sights as she tries to pull herself up. She gets to her feet and he leaps up with a jumping knee strike! Lockheart is dazed and he know gets in position to hit the Coma-toes, but Lockheart somersaults underneath! She gets back to her feet, and Ricci surprises her with his quickness, wheeling around and connecting with a Cyclone Kick! She goes down!
Arthur La Forge: Everyone always seems to forget how quick Ricci is and he used that against the champion here.
Mary DeSue: She’s out! Call it, referee!
Arthur La Forge: That’s the referee’s call, and he’s checking now.
The referee once again checks Lockheart's condition, but she's able to respond, so the match continues. This time Ricci gets in his face and argues with him. Ricci gives him the finger in frustration before turning his attention back to Magdalena Lockheart. He grabs Lockheart around the waist and lifts her to her feet, before lifting her up for a crucifix powerbomb! He lifts her up and actually aims at the floor, which would definitely knock the champion unconscious and give him the belt. He runs toward the ropes to toss her outside, but she slips out the back! He spins on his heels and turns to face Lockheart, but she's already used what's left of her energy to connect with AN ENTROPY BLADE! Ricci crumples to the mat and Lockheart lays near him, exhausted. The referee waves it off, as both are able to respond to him.
Arthur La Forge: Nearly had a double KO there but thankfully we didn’t. I can’t imagine people would be very happy if this title match got ruined somehow.
Mary DeSue: Yeah, I would be mad. Ricci deserves the win.
Arthur La Forge: Yeah if not, he might attack people and complain again.
Mary DeSue: That was dangerously close to snark, Artie! I’m so proud!
Lockheart gets to her feet and sees Ricci on his hands and knees, so she immediately runs off the ropes and attempts Black Legacy, but Ricci senses it coming and moves out of the way of the stomp. He gets up to a standing base but she plants her feet and kicks him in the shin. She then drops down and slides backwards between his legs and standing up behind him. Before he has time to react, she jumps up and wraps her legs around his head, dropping backward but Ricci holds onto the legs and begins to ragdoll her as she hangs off of him! Unfortunately, the referee is hit with the champion as she's swung around, similar to the T-Rex swinging around the lawyer in Jurassic Park! The ref drops to his hands and knees and tries to regain his bearings, when suddenly there's a murmur through the crowd…
Arthur La Forge: Ricci is ragdolling the champion!
Mary DeSue: Yeah, but why is the crowd freaking out?
IT’S BERT MCALROY! BERT LEAPS THE GUARDRAIL AND HOPS ONTO THE APRON!! “HEY BITCH!!” he shouts, causing Ricci to turn around only for Bert to leap from the top rope...GIVE HER THE BERT!!! RICCI GOES DOWN!! HE’S OUT!!! Bert stands over Ricci for a minute, talking shit before he shoves his face with the bottom of his knock off nikes.
Mary DeSue: YOU SON OF A [BLEEP]! YOU’VE RUINED RICCI’S TITLE CHANCES FOR THE LAST TIME YOU MOTHERF----
Arthur La Forge: I’m sorry folks, the Developer just cut her mic...and you should be happy for it.
Mary DeSue: …...WITH A TWIRLING LAWNMOWER!
Bert looks down at Maggie, before offering a hand. The champ looks at it for a second, before taking it. Bert pulls her up...THEN KNOCKS HER IN THE JAW AND FLATTENS HER!! THE CHAMP IS OUT!! Bert finds the hard cam and holds up his fist from the inside of his hoodie sleeve….He’s wearing brass knuckles!!
Arthur La Forge: Bert McAlroy has not been happy with Maggie’s decision but I think that may have been too far!
Mary DeSue: I don’t care. Ricci’s down so who cares anymore?
The referee gets up to his feet and witnesses the scene, checking on both fighters and with no response, calls for the bell!
Mr. Rad: The winner of the match is...no one?
Arthur La Forge:Bert McAlroy just made himself public enemy #1 tonight but ruining this main event!
Mary DeSue: SEE? I told you he was no good!
Arthur La Forge: He has his reasons but there’s no way he doesn’t face repercussions for this from someone. If not the Developer then certainly the two people he just laid out.
Bert throws them on the mat and screams “YEAH BITCH!” to the downed pair of fighters. He rolls out of the ring, grabbing the Final Boss title. He looks at it, then the fans, and raises it as they pop. The show fades out with no winner in the main event and more questions about the title picture at Dead by Daylight…
