Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd calming down slowly after the opening match. Victor Cross clears his throat, then begins. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a Capitol Punishment match! The object of this match is to pin or make your opponent submit on one of the three BTWF logos spray-painted onto the floor, scattered around the arena. No logo can be used twice in a row, and thus, should the opponent kick out of a pin, break out of a submission, or should the attacker release the hold before the opponent taps out, the two competitors must find one of the other logos. There are NO disqualifications."
A simple message appears on the BarTron, written in Olde English style, saying only one phrase: "Live for the moment...Live for the King of Pain." The message slowly fades as the lights in the arena go out, only a spotlight illuminating the entrance ramp. The familiar guitars of Toyomasu Hotei's "A Battle Without Honor or Humility" from the Kill Bill soundtrack begin, and the crowd pops as Victor emerges from the curtain in his white trenchcoat, glancing over the crowd for a moment before throwing his arms out to the side, blue flames erupting on either side of him, the crowd's cheers growing louder for the pyro display. Victor tosses his head back and the lights in the arena come back on as he walks down the ramp, high-fiving a few fans on the way down.
"Introducing first, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at 230 lbs., he is the 'King of Pain'...Victor Bidwell!" Victor slides into the ring, walking over to a nearby corner and climbing up into it, raising his arms up, the crowd continuing their cheers. Finally, Victor jumps down from the corner and removes his trenchcoat, handing it off to an official as his entrance theme fades out.
The lights in the arena dim to a dark blue tint, and the BarTron shows what appears to be the remains of a battlefield as an extremely fast guitar riff starts to play, accompanied by a vicious drum beat. Corpses and weapons are strewn around on the ground, and the camera seems to be off-kilter. The camera stops panning as it reaches a figure, crouched close to the ground about fifteen feet away. The man slowly lifts his head, revealing the murderous, psychopathic visage of Raymond Kage, and he suddenly begins to run at the camera, his gaze filled with bloodlust. Just before he reaches the screen, metal chain links cover it, and ten pillars of flame erupt at the top of the entrance ramp, the guitars of "X" by System of a Down going full blast.

As the flames die down, they reveal Kage standing behind them, a blacklight shining over him to hide his eyes. Kage points upward, banging his head to the beat of the song, the movements almost too fast to follow due to the speed of the guitar riffs, the same crazed look in his eyes as he brings his hand down and points towards Bidwell. Kage begins to run down the ramp. "And his opponent, from London, England, weighing in at 224 lbs., he is the 'Rage In The Kage'...Raymond Kage!"

Kage slides into the ring, quickly pulling off his t-shirt and jacket and tossing them outside the ring, Jackie Kiddo doing the wise thing in this situation and stepping back, immediately calling for the bell. "DING DING DING!"
Kage and Bidwell immediately run toward each other and begin to trade punches, neither of them obviously caring about tactics at this point, just wanting to kill one another. Bidwell manages to chain a string of punches together after a few moments of trading blows, finally dazing Kage enough to grab his head and bring up his forearm in a hard European Uppercut. Kage stumbles backwards and turns away from Bidwell, clutching his jaw, but Bidwell reaches forward and pulls Kage back into a Sleeper Hold. Kage tries to fight out of it, flailing his arms widly, but Bidwell has the move locked in tight. Kage suddenly swings his leg up in a modified Mule Kick, slamming his heel right into Bidwell's crotch. Bidwell breaks the hold and stumbles backwards, cringing in and falling backwards. Kage smirks and shakes out his neck. Jackie looks like she's angry about this, but she can't do anything about it due to the No DQ part of the stip. Kage walks over and begins to stomp repeatedly on Bidwell's chest and stomach, calling out in a deranged voice "WHO'S THE KING OF PAIN NOW, VIC?! WHO'S THE KING OF PAIN NOW?!?!"
Vic "The Voice" Hartman: This isn't right, Jim! Brian Blade should've known not to book a match with a No DQ stip in it when Kage is one of the participants! Bidwell could be killed!
James "Headhunter" Sharpton: Hey, they both wanted it, Vic. Bidwell's getting just what he desreves for having the stupidity to go into a No DQ match with Kage.
Kage finally stops his stomping and picks Bidwell up, grabbing his midsection and picking him up in the air, then dropping down on one knee and slamming Vic down into an Inverted Atomic Drop, as well as sticking his head under Bidwell's chin to hit a Jawbreaker as well. Bidwell slumps down to the mat, looking as if he's almost unconcious. Kage grins, then walks over to a nearby corner, beginning to untie the straps that keep the turnbuckle covering on. Jackie goes over to stop him, then remembers the stip of this match and steps back, looking angry about the whole situation. Kage gets the turnbuckle cover off and tosses it off to the side, walking back over and picking up Bidwell...But Bidwell slams his forearm up in a low blow! The crowd cheers loudly at this, not caring if Bidwell uses dirty tactics, just wanting him to win this match. Kage falls backwards onto the mat and Bidwell shakily stands up, rubbing his jaw, still feeling the after-effects of the Jawbreaker Kage gave him. Bidwell grabs Kage and picks him up, suddenly Irish Whipping him into the exposed corner, the crowd erupting into cheers as Kage's back slams into the steel rope binding. Kage cries out and arches his back, then slumps back against the corner. Bidwell quickly runs over and picks Kage up, turning him around to face the corner, then suddenly lets go, dropping Kage down onto the exposed corner in a Snake Eyes! Kage forehead cracks into the metal tie, and he falls backwards out of the corner, barely moving.
Sharpton: Hey, he can't do that to Kage! This is Kage's match!
Hartman: I think Bidwell is showing us exactly why he is called The King of Pain, Jim.
Bidwell grabs Kage by the shoulders and pulls him away from the corner, dragging him out towards the middle of the ring, then flips Kage over onto his back. Bidwell walks back to Kage's feet, wrapping Kage's legs, from the knee down, around his own, then reaches forward and grabs Kage's arms. Suddenly, Bidwell falls back and pulls Kage back with him, wrenching down on Kage's arms and locking in an Inverted Surfboard! Kage shakes his head wildly and cringes, trying to pull his arms away, but Bidwell keeps the submission maneuver locked in tight. After about twenty seconds or so of this, Bidwell remembers that even if Kage were to tap out, it wouldn't count here. Bidwell wrenches down as hard as he can, then releases the move, Kage slumping forward onto his stomach as Bidwell untangles his legs from Kage's. Bidwell glances over and sees the only visible BTWF logo, situated on the floor outside the ring. Bidwell picks up Kage and pulls him forward into a Front Facelock, lifting him up into a Vertical Suplex position, but stalling the maneuver so that the blood rushes to Kage's head. The crowd cheers for this, but after about ten seconds, Victor's arms start to get tired from keeping Kage aloft, so he falls back and drives Kage's back down into the mat with a Vertical Suplex.
Hartman: It certainly seems as though Bidwell has gotten this match going in his favor once again.
Sharpton: Just wait...One mistake, and Kage will be all over him...
Bidwell picks up Kage once again, this time whipping him into the ropes, but quickly running after him, thrusting his arm out and Clotheslining Kage out of the ring! The crowd cheers at this as Bidwell swings his arms up into the air quickly to work the crowd, then moves back toward the center of the ring, watching as Kage slowly starts to stand up. Once Kage gets back to a vertical base, Bidwell suddenly runs forward and grabs the top rope, flinging himself up into a PLANCHA TO THE OUTSI-NO! Kage grabs Bidwell out of the air and slams him down into an Exploder Suplex! Kage notices that he has Bidwell on the logo, but knowing that he only gets one shot at using this logo before going to search for another one, he decides not to risk the pin. Kage instead stands up, picking up Bidwell and tossing him into the steel steps! The steel steps seperate into their two pieces as Bidwell is flung headfirst into them, the King of Pain lying motionless on the thin mats covering the cement ring floor. Kage walks over and grabs Bidwell by the hair, lifting him up and slamming his head into the steel ringpost to boos from the crowd. Jackie watches with a scowl from inside the ring, but doesn't do anything to stop Kage. Kage lets Bidwell fall back to the ground, then slowly starts to smirk, seeming to have gotten an idea.
Hartman: Oh no...I don't like the look on Kage's face...
Sharpton: Vic, all that look means is that we're about to be very entertained!
Hartman: Those of you who like senseless violence anyway...
Kage walks over and grabs the edge of one of the mats and lifts it up, tossing it off to the side, exposing the cement floor beneath. The crowd immediately cringes, knowing that something bad for Bidwell was coming. Kage walks over and grabs Bidwell by the head, dragging him over to the exposed area and standing him up. Bidwell manages to stay standing, though it's obvious he barely even knows where he is. Kage suddenly follows with a kick to the gut, then sets his foot on the back of Bidwell's head. The crowd immediately begins to boo and jeer, knowing what was coming. Kage flips the crowd off, then jumps up with his left leg, pushing down with his right leg and hitting the LONDON LAME-NO! Bidwell lifts his head up just as Kage kicks off with his left foot, making Kage loose his balance! Kage tips backwards, the back of his head cracking off the edge of the ring as the crowd immediately begins to cheer. Bidwell stumbles over to the barrier and leans back against it to catch his breath, fans patting him on the back and encouraging him. Kage stands up after a moment, rubbing the back of his head and glaring at Bidwell. Bidwell quickly motions with his hand for the fans to move back, which they do, and as Kage runs forward towards Bidwell, the King of Pain quickly steps to the side and grabs Kage, lifting him up and slamming him down with a Stun Gun onto the steel barrier!
Sharpton: Noooo! This is a No Disqualification match! Kage's signature match type! Bidwell CAN'T be doing this good!
Hartman: I think he is, Jim! And the man getting the Capitol Punishment tonight may be Raymond Kage!
Bidwell grabs Kage and drags him back over to the logo area, standing the deranged one up and hitting a Knifehand Chop across the chest to Kage, the crowd following with a "WHOOO!" Bidwell hits another one, and on the third one, Kage falls back from the force of the chop, his chest now red from the hard chops. Bidwell suddenly jumps up and follows with a Leg Drop right into Kage's neck, making Kage spasm with pain, then lay limp right in the middle of the BTWF logo. Bidwell stands up and slides back into the ring, but then climbs up onto a nearby turnbuckle, the crowd erupting into cheers as he throws his arms up, then flies off the turnbuckle to hit a CHOPPING COMPASSION TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Bidwell slams the knife edge of his hand down into Kage's chest, making Kage cry out and spasm once again. Bidwell quickly hooks the leg and Jackie slides out of the ring and onto the floor to begin the count. "1...2..." Kage gets a shoulder up! The crowd boos this turn of events heavily, and Bidwell lets go of Kage's leg with a sigh, knowing he'd now have to bring the fight backstage and search for one of the other BTWF logos.
Sharpton: Hah! I told you Kage wans't going to lose that easily!
Hartman: Many things can be said about Kage, but one of them would have to be that he's a fighter, I'll admit that.
Bidwell grabs Kage and lifts him up, then pulls him in to a Front Facelock, lifting one arm up as the crowd pops before kicking his feet up in the air and falling backwards, pulling Kage down into a V-BUSTER!!! Bidwell stands up after delivering the modified DDT, picking up Kage and slinging him over his shoulder, Kage practically unconcious at this point. Bidwell walks around the ring and starts up the entrance ramp, making sure to pay attention should Kage snap out of it. Jackie and a camera man quickly follow after, and as Kage and Bidwell disappear behind the curtains, the crowd turns their attention to the BarTron, where we see the live feed from the camera following after them. Bidwell carries Kage through a backstage area, various equipment scattered around. Bidwell keeps his eyes focused on the ground, looking for any sign of one of the remaining BTWF logos. Suddenly, Bidwell's gaze stops on a logo in the middle of a large hall, weapons and equipment scattered around the wall. Obviously the BTWF staff intended them to get to this point. Bidwell doesn't seem too happy about the weapons, but the logo in the middle of the floor calls to him. Bidwell starts to slip Kage off his shoulder, but Kage suddenly grabs Bidwell's head as he slides down off his shoulders, slamming Bidwell's head down into the mat with a Facecrusher!
Hartman: BAH GAWD! Bidwell could be knocked out!
Sharpton: Awww, but this match was just starting to get good...
Kage grabs Bidwell and drags him over to the BTWF logo, just about to go for the cover, but notices Bidwell starting to stir a little. Kage scowls, but decides against going for a pin just yet, not wanting to go searching for the third logo. Kage instead hits a quick series of stomps to Bidwell's chest and stomach to keep him down, then turns around and looks over the hall. A smirk creeps onto Kage's face as he eyes the weapons, and the crowd groans with dread as the camera zooms in on his expression. Kage walks over and grabs a lead pipe from a stack of assorted items, looking it over and running his hand over the cold metal as his smirk widens into a sadistic grin. Kage turns and sees Bidwell slowly starting to lift himself up, a large bruise already beginning to form on his forehead. Kage waits until Bidwell gets close to a vertical base, then suddenly runs forward and takes a wild swing at Bidwell's head. Bidwell sees Kage coming out of the corner of his eye, however, and quickly falls and hits a Drop Toe-Hold on Kage, Kage managing to fling the pipe away and use his arms to guard his face from slamming into the ground, though he seems to scrape his forearms pretty bad. Kage snaps his head back and goes to turn toward Bidwell, but Bidwell suddenly rolls back the way he came and locks Kage's leg behind him, reaching up to apply a Crossface hold, locking in an STF! The crowd cheers as Bidwell wrenches back on Kage's head, twisting his leg as much as he can to send a wave of pain moving through Kage's knee.
Sharpton: Kage isn't even on the logo! Bidwell is wasting this submission maneuver!
Hartman: Is he, Jim? I think Bidwell's just trying to wear Kage down. After all, if Kage doesn't tap out or breaks out of the hold while they're on the logo, Bidwell has to search for the last logo.
Kage continues to try and pull out of the submission maneuver, but Bidwell has the move securely locked in. Kage suddenly gets another idea, and slowly starts to reach his hand forward. The crowd gasps as they realize what he's trying to do, then cringe as they see Bidwell hasn't realized it yet. The crowd can only watch as Kage manages to grab the lead pipe, swinging it around and slamming it right into the side of Bidwell's head, Kage effectively knocking the slightly larger man off him. Bidwell lays on his back a few feet away, clutching the side of his head, seeming to be trying to keep himself from losing conciousness. Kage stands up and shakes out his leg, cricking his neck to the side and grinning down at Kage, running forward and going to swing the lead pipe down onto Bidwell's che-NO! Bidwell swings his leg up right into Kage's crotch before he can connect! Kage drops the pipe and cringes, falling down onto the ground as well. Bidwell sits up and continues to rub his head, standing up and taking a look around the room. Bidwell gets a troubled look on his face and continues to look around the room, seeming reluctant to use any of the weapons.
Hartman: It seems as though Bidwell is having a hard time bringing himself to using one of these weapons.
Sharpton: Pssh. Like someone who doesn't like to use weapons is going to win in a match that has no disqualifications.
Kage starts to stand up as well, now, and Bidwell quickly moves off to the side, getting ready. Kage turns and faces Bidwell, seeming like he was about to dash forward with a Clothesline, but stops himself, controlling his rage. Kage slowly starts to circle Bidwell, who turns on his heel, making sure to keep Kage in sight. Kage steps to the left, but suddenly fakes and dashes to Bidwell's right side, going for a Rising Knee Strike, but Bidwell manages to catch Kage's fake, going for a Roundhouse Kick. Kage manages to swing his arms up and knock Bidwell's leg away, landing behind Bidwell as the King of Pain sets his other foot on the ground. Bidwell quickly turns and flies forward with a left jab! Left jab! Right hook! Left elbow! Right elbow! Left Roundkick! Right Roundkick! PAIN RUSH!!! The crowd erupts into cheers as they see Bidwell hit the combonation maneuver he had spoken about in one of his recent promos, Kage stumbling backwards from the quick assault. Bidwell quickly reaches forward and grabs Kage's head, jumping up and falling to his side, slamming Kage's head down on his ribcage in Bidwell's heavily-modified RKO signature, the LAST CHAPTER!!!
Hartman: Last Chapter! Last Chapter to Kage! Now if Bidwell can capitalize, this match may be over!
Sharpton: Noooo! Kage wouldn't let me go home poor!
Bidwell stands up, rubbing his side a little, but he's obviously not even close to being as hurt as Kage. Bidwell grabs Kage and drags him over to the logo, letting him go and looking down at him for a few moments. Bidwell turns and looks to a group of items over at the side of the room, then slowly hangs his head. After a few moments, he looks up, an expression of great determination on his face, quickly running over and grabbing a table to a huge pop from the crowd. Bidwell walks over and sets the table up next to the logo, grabbing Kage and climbing up onto the table, pulling Kage up onto it with him. Bidwell pulls Kage forward into a Front Facelock, the crowd getting on their feet and cheering louder, expecting a V-Buster through the table. Kage quickly pushes Bidwell back, however, pulling Bidwell forward into a Standing Headscissors. The crowd boos at this, hoping Bidwell can break out. Kage hooks both of Bidwell's arms, then flips Bidwell up over his shoulders, holding him out in the Back to Back Crucifix position. Kage smirks, then slams Kage down with a SICK CRUCIFIX BRAINBUSTER THROUGH THE TABLE!!! The crowd boos and jeers heavily at this, and Kage grins, grabbing Bidwell's legs and pulling him out of the wreckage of the table and over to the logo before covering him for the pin. Jackie slides in. "1...2...THR" Bidwell gets a shoulder up!!!
Hartman: BAH GAWD, Bidwell just kicked out! He kicked out, even after that insane Crucifix Brainbuster through the table!
Sharpton: What the hell?! It's as if everyone's out to take my money! Come on Kage!
Hartman: Kage now either has to come back to the ring area, or find the last logo, located somewhere in the arena!
Kage stares down at Bidwell, seeming to be in shock that Bidwell was able to break out of the pin. Kage, out of sheer reflex, pulls Bidwell into another pin, but Jackie doesn't count, telling Kage that he can't use the same logo twice. Kage releases the pin and starts to breathe heavily, suddenly standing up and grabbing Victor through the holes in his net shirt, lifting him up with the sheer force of his rage. Bidwell suddenly grins, and Kage's eyes widen as he screams "WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY?!?!?!" Bidwell laughs somewhat weakly, then speaks. "That you let your rage cloud your judgement..." Bidwell suddenly swings his legs up and hits a Dropkick right into Kage's stomach, pushing off Kage and landing on his back, sending Kage flying backwards a few feet to land on the ground, the crowd erupting into cheers. Bidwell sits up, clutching the back of his head, checking his fingers, but he doesn't see any blood. Kage gets up as well, both of them reaching a vertical base about the same time. Bidwell suddenly dashes forward and comes in with a flurry of straight right hands to Kage's forehead, swinging a sudden left hook right into Kage's ribs before pulling Kage forward into a Standing Head Scissors. Bidwell lifts his arms up and nods towards the camera, the crowd cheering once again, but their cheers turn to boos as Kage flips Bidwell up over him with a Back Body Drop right onto the harsh cement. Kage glares down at Bidwell, but then turns and looks off toward the side at the group of weapons, smirking as he runs over.
Sharpton: Here we go! Kage is gonna show us what he does best!
Hartman: Bidwell better get up if he wants to have any chance of getting past this match.
Kage grabs looks through the assortment of weaponry, and after a few moments, selects a ladder, pulling the large object out from the pile, the crowd groaning in dismay. Kage walks over and opens up the ladder, the crowd wondering what he's doing as he sets the ladder up right over Bidwell, who's starting to stand up, then steps back. Bidwell gets back to a vertical base, looking around with confusion at the fact he's standing under a ladder. Kage smirks and gives a cheeky wave to Bidwell, then suddenly kicks one leg up onto one of the rungs of the ladder, then swings his other leg up in an Enzuigiri that hits the other side of the ladder, SHUTTING BIDWELL INSIDE!!! The crowd gasps in horror as Bidwell is crushed between the two sides of the ladder. Kage quickly pulls his foot away as the ladder tips over on its side and crashes to the ground, Bidwell still inside, not moving at all. The crowd doesn't even boo, just stares in shock at the screen. Kage smirks, then walks over and steps on the ladder, pressing it down against Bidwell even harder, and the crowd begins to boo at this point, only glad in the fact that Kage has to drag Bidwell out to one of the other logos before pinning him, hopefully giving Bidwell some time to recover. Finally, Kage steps off the ladder and opens it back up, pulling Bidwell out of it and slinging the King of Pain over his shoulders, walking back out of the hall and heading back towards the ring, apparently taking the safe route to victory. However, as Kage passes a stairway, we hear a voice off to the side, out of the camera's view. "Hey, Kage! This way!"
Sharpton: What the hell's going on?!
Hartman: ...
Sharpton: What's wrong with you?
Hartman: ...
Sharpton: Oh, don't tell me Bidwell getting shut inside the ladder was too much for you. That was great!
Hartman: I think I'm going to be sick...
Kage turns and looks up the stairway, the camera quickly turning to the side to follow his gaze, but we only catch a quick glimpse of someone moving up the stairs. Kage seems to have seen who it was, however, and smirks, beginning to walk up the steps. Once Kage reaches the top, he glances down the long hallway he comes to, but sees a door close a little ways down the hall. Kage follows after, and finds himself inside the men's restroom, where, in the middle of the floor, is the third and final BTWF logo. Kage laughs maniacally, and lays Bidwell down over the logo...ONLY TO GET BULLDOGGED FROM BEHIND BY MR. MONEY!!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Victor's tag partner comes in for the save, driving Kage's face down into the tile floor of the restroom. Money goes over and tries to wake up Bidwell, shaking him by the shoulders a bit. Bidwell finally seems to regain conciousness a few moments later, but he still doesn't look like he's in any condition to continue the match. Kage gets up, slowly turning his head toward Mr. Money, seeming to twitch every few seconds, his eyes wide with rage. Money stands up and turns to face Kage, quickly ducking a Clothesline and grabbing Kage's head, attempting a Flashback, but Kage grabs a water pipe on the wall, keeping himself from being pulled down, then turns and knocks Money's arms away, grabbing Money's head and slamming his face into the side of a nearby stall. Mr. Money falls to the floor, dazed from the attack. Kage looks like he's about to continue the attack on Money, but turns and remembers Bidwell, smirking as he walks over and covers Bidwell for a pin, the crowd holding their breath. "1...2..." BIDWELL REVERSES IT INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!!! "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"
Hartman: BAH GAWD! BIDWELL WAS PLAYING POSSUM! IT'S OVER! BIDWELL WINS! BIDWELL WINS!!!
Sharpton: NOOOOOO!!!!! MY MONEY!!!!
The crowd gets on their feet and erupts into cheers as "A Battle Without Honor or Humility" comes over the speakers. Bidwell releases the pin, jumping up and pumping his fist up in the air, helping Mr. Money up. Kage simply lays on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling, unable to believe his loss. Bidwell and Money step back away from Kage just in case he decides to get revenge for losing. Victor Cross enters the ring and brings the mic up. "Here is your winner, Victor "The King of Pain" Bidwe-" Cross turns as he hears a ref calling out to him, walking over to the edge of the ring and speaking with the ref, looking surprised after the ref is done talking. Victor Cross walks back to the middle of the ring, clearing his throat uncomfortably before speaking again. "My apologies. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just been informed that although Victor Bidwell did indeed reverse Raymond Kage's pin into a pinfall of his own, Bidwell's reversal also counted as a kickout. And as no logo can be used twice in a row, Victor Bidwell's pin is invalid. The match will continue." The crowd sits in stunned silence for a few moments, then begins to boo and jeer as Victor and Money continue to celebrate. Jackie takes her fingers away from the headset she had been listening to, then informs Bidwell that his pin didn't count. Bidwell stares at her blankly for a few moments, then groans, his shoulders slumping. Kage slowly sits up and turns his head around to look at Bidwell, grinning wildly. Suddenly, the door of the stall behind Bidwell and Money opens, slamming into their backs and knocking them both to the ground!
Sharpton: What the?!...What's going on now?!
Hartman: This match certainly is having quite a few twists and turns...
Bidwell and Money slowly get up, turning around to stare blankly as the door closes, revealing none other than BIG DADDY!!! The former BTWF World Heavyweight Champion looks down at Bidwell and Money with a smirk, his arms crossed, then speaks. "Did you really think I was going to let your tag partner interfere in this match without evening up the odds? Need I remind you that Kage and Demon are my proteges?" Bidwell glares up at Big Daddy, standing up and backing up slowly, keeping his eyes on the former champ. "Heh...Reality setting in now?" Suddenly, Mr. Money is pulled up into the air and Bidwell snaps his head around, only to see Money set up in a Torture Rack position on The Demon's back. Demon smirks evilly down at Bidwell, then walks out of the restroom, pulling Money down and literally tossing the much smaller cruiserweight wrestler down the hall as if he were a mere lawn dart. Bidwell turns to go help his partner, but Kage blocks his path, still with the sadistic grin on his face. Bidwell starts to back up, trying to assess the situation, but he soon bumps into Big Daddy. Bidwell finds himself penned in with nowhere to go, and slowly goes into a ready position. Kage comes forward with a punch, but Bidwell grabs Kage's fist, countering with a punch of his own and hitting Kage in the jaw. However, Big Daddy takes this time to kick Bidwell's leg out from under him, causing Bidwell to fall on his back, then begins to stomp repeatedly on Bidwell's chest while Kage stomps on his stomach. The crowd jeers and boos heavily at this, but a voice out of the camera's view brings new hope to everyone. "HEY, BIG SHITTY! YOU FORGOT VICTOR HAS FRIENDS TOO!"
Sharpton: Is that...?!
Hartman: It is!
The crowd erupts into cheers as Hell's Guardian runs into camera view, and the crowd cheers even louder as The Tiger runs in to join him, both of them coming forward to knock Big Daddy and Kage down with Clotheslines, the crowd going nuts as Kage and BD get up, only to be Clotheslined down once again. Hell's Guardian grabs Big Daddy and picks him up, connecting with a flurry of punches right into Big Daddy's temple, knocking him back towards the far end of the restroom as The Tiger picks up Kage, doing the same thing, but moving Kage out toward the door. Bidwell clutches his stomach in pain from the stomps, but still has somewhat of a smile on his face, knowing that he's at least safe from getting double teamed for now. Big Daddy and Kage start to fight back, but the two brawls are pretty even at this point, punches being traded on both sides. Bidwell slowly gets himself back up, using the large sink counter for assistance. Bidwell leans against the counter, still catching his breath and trying to let some of the pain wear off. However, a large shape enters the doorway of the men's restroom, and the crowd gasps as they see it's none other than The Demon. The large man rubs his head, apparently having been jumped by TT and HG, but he smirks as he sees the brawls going on inside the restroom. Demon comes in with a hard punch right into TT's lower spine, making the cruiserweight cry out and stop his punches for a moment, giving Kage an opportunity to grab TT and picking him for a Fallaway Slam onto the tile floor! Meanwhile, Bidwell runs over to HG, quickly hitting Big Daddy in the stomach with a kick, shouting something to HG, who nods and grins. The two pull Big Daddy into a Double Front Facelock, then lift him up, falling backwards to drive Big Daddy's spine down into the floor with a Double Vertical Suplex! Demon and Kage quickly run over and grab HG and Bidwell, however, the two pairs beginning to brawl, but this time moving out of the restroom in an attempt to get more room.
Hartman: This match is deteriorating into an all-out slugfest!
Sharpton: Is this a bad thing?
The four men continue to brawl down the hallway, occasionally getting a kick to the gut or a chop across the chest in, but mostly just punching each other, finally reachign the end of the hallway, a platform looking out over the large hall that holds the second BTWF logo. Bidwell finally gets a chain of punches going before slamming Kage into a Standing Head Scissors, hooking both Kage's arms before lifting him up and spinning him around to slam him back down into a Tigerbomb! Meanwhile, The Demon picks up HG and pulls him into a Bear Hug, squeezing HG's midsection tightly, forcing the air out of the smaller wrestling. HG tries to hit Demon's back hard enough to make him release the hold, but his punches slowly loose force. Just as it seems HG's about to pass out from oxygen loss, the move is interrupted by a Dropkick from behind! Demon lets go of HG and stumbles forward, TT quickly rolling off to the side to catch his breath. Demon turns around and glares at the man who had hit the Dropkick, the crowd cheering as they saw it was Mr. Money. Money attacks with a series of punches and kicks to Demon's mid-section, but the huge wrestler is simply too impervious for Money to do much damage, and Money's chain of attacks is stopped quickly when Demon shoots a hand out and latches it around Money's throat. The crowd boos heavily, knowing what was coming, but trying to deny it. Demon turns around and walks to the edge of the platform, then lifts Money up, holding him up in the air for a few moments with a smirk before CHOKESLAMMING HIM ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BELOW!!! The crowd hears a loud thumping sound as well as a few cracks, but the camera doesn't get over the edge until Money has already hit the ground, where we see him laying in a crumpled mess, a pool of blood starting to pool near his head. Jackie calls for a medic to get to the ground below, then turns her attention back to the match. Bidwell stares in horror down at his partner, then turns to Demon, glaring with anger, but HG stops Bidwell before he can attack, telling him to take care of Kage.
Hartman: OH MY GOD!!! Jim, this match has to end now, or else all these men are going to be dead by the end of it!
Sharpton: Vic, shut up, you little pansy. This is one of the best matches I've seen in a long time! It's almost as good as the Texas Execution Death Match from MaXimum Carnage!
HG comes forward and goes back to brawling with Demon while Bidwell turns and picks up Kage, neither man noticing as TT and Big Daddy come into the area, both of them brawling as well. Bidwell hits a quick punch to Kage's gut to stun him, then glances around and sees a stack of boxes nearby. Bidwell suddenly jumps off the platform to gasps from the crowd, landing on the stack of boxes nearby and pulling Kage down with him, then jumping down from that stack to the floor below. Bidwell pulls Kage forward into a Front Facelock, then suddenly runs up the stack of boxes, using them like he would the ring ropes to hit a V-BOMB!!! The crowd erupts into cheers once again as Bidwell drives Kage's head down into the cement floor, this time busting Kage open, blood flowing down from Kage's forehead. Bidwell grabs Kage and drags him over towards the logo, turning and watching as TT suddenly hits a Lout Thesz press to Big Daddy, knocking him down onto the boxes! The pile of boxes wobbles a bit, but then stops, and TT grins, jumping off and landing a few feet away from Bidwell and Kage. Bidwell turns around and speaks to TT, TT nodding solemnly, then goes with Bidwell over to the side of the arena, both of them grabbing a steel chair. The crowd erupts into cheers, knowing that it was against Bidwell's virtues to use a weapon, but glad to see Kage potentially get destroyed with a combined weapon attack. Bidwell speaks to TT again, then heads over to another pile of boxes, tossing the chair up on top before climbing up as well. Meanwhile, TT grabs Kage and lifts him up, Kage seeming to be coming out of it, but still not enough to offer up any resistance. TT holds a chair behind Kage's head to keep Kage in a sitting position, then watches as Bidwell continues to climb the boxes. Back on the platform, HG has managed to get a chain of punches going, knocking Demon back towards the edge of the platform. HG suddenly steps back, then flies forward into a Superkick, knocking Demon off the platform and onto the pile of boxes, landing right on top of Big Daddy! The pile of boxes wobbles heavily, then slowly tips to the side, the crowd cheering with joy as it collapses, sending Big Daddy and Demon tumbling to the ground!!!
Hartman: This match seems to be going in the way of Bidwell!
Sharpton: Stop it...You're making me think poor thoughts...
HG smirks down at Demon and Big Daddy, then turns his back towards the edge of the platform before tossing his arms out to the side, the crowd popping as they realize what Hell's about to do. HG grins, then flings himself backwards, hitting a HELLSAULT ALL THE WAY OFF THE PLATFORM ONTO BIG DADDY AND DEMON!!! HG slams down onto both of the wrestlers, all thee men spasming with pain. Hell rolls off them and clutches his stomach, Demon rolling off to the side as well. Back across the hall, Bidwell has finally reached the top of the pile of boxes. Bidwell stands slowly on them, making sure to keep his balance, then grabs the steel chair, lowering his head and closing his eyes, the camera zooming in on his face as he speaks under his breath "This is for Mr. Money..." Bidwell suddenly flies forward off the pile of boxes, turning his body horizontal in the air and bringing the chair down, the crowd getting on their feet and staring in awe as Victor hits a VANTERMINATOR WITH A STEEL CHAIR INTO KAGE'S FACE!!! The crowd immediately starts a "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" chant as Kage's face is smashed between the two chairs, Kage limply falling to the side as TT tosses his chair away. At this time, Big Daddy, Demon and HG manage to pull themselves up. Big Daddy quickly tells Demon to take care of HG, then runs toward Bidwell, who is currently dragging Kage over to the logo with TT's help. Big Daddy quickly hits a Clothesline to Bidwell, knocking him down, then turns around and begins to trade punches with TT. HG goes to help TT, but is quickly grabbed from behind by Demon and is pulled into a German Suplex! Demon spikes the maneuver somewhat, driving the back of HG's head and neck into the ground, making sure HG stays down for a while. Demon gets back up and runs over to where Big Daddy is, grabbing Bidwell from behind before he could help Big Daddy and spinning Bidwell around to face him before hooking his leg and picking him up into a Fisherman Suplex, slamming Bidwell's back into the cement.
Sharpton: You were saying, Vic?
Hartman: With all the things that have happened in this match, Jim, it's impossible to make a prediction. It isn't over 'till it's over.
Big Daddy manages to get a kick in to TT's gut, stunning him long enough for Big Daddy to lift TT up into a Torture Rack position, smirking before spinning him out into the Beautiful Letdown Sidewalk Slam! Big Daddy and Demon continually stomp on Bidwell and TT while they're down, giving time for Kage to regain conciousness. The crowd boos heavily at this, but begins to cheer again as they see HG get up from the German Suplex earlier by Demon, running forward to go help his friends, only to suddenly get tripped by Kage! Kage sits up slowly and smirks, seeming not to be phased by the pain at all, his sheer rage and will to win this match enough to keep him going. Kage gets up and taps Demon on the shoulder, telling him to take care of HG while he goes back to Bidwell. HG gets up just in time to see Demon come at him with a Big Boot, but HG manages to duck it, countering with a Dropkick right into the back of Demon's knee, causing the larger man to fall to a kneeling position. Kage glances down at Bidwell, but instead of attacking, he walks over to the side of the hall, once again selecting a weapon, this time a cinderblock. Kage hefts it back over to the logo area, stumbling a bit, obviously feeling the aftereffects of the Chair-assisted Vandaminator. Kage sets the cinderblock down in the middle of the logo, then turns and watches Big Daddy and Demon for a moment, seeing that they had everything under control with TT and HG. Kage goes back over and picks up Bidwell, but Bidwell suddenly knocks Kage's arms away, following up with another PAIN RUSH!!! The crowd goes nuts as Bidwell finishes the combo, Bidwell going to grab Kage's head, apparently going for the Last Chapter again, but Kage suddenly grabs Bidwell's arms and pulls him forward into a Double-Arm Kitchen Sink! Bidwell slouches over from the knee to the gut, and Kage pulls Bidwell up into a Pumphandle position, the crowd gasping as they realized Kage's intentions. Kage turns Bidwell upside down, then falls into a sitting position, driving Bidwell down with a SPIRE DRIVER INTO THE CINDERBLOCK!!! The crowd watches in horror as Bidwell slumps to the ground, bleeding heavily from the head. Kage pushes the cinderblock out of the way, breathing heavily, then pulls Bidwell into the middle of the logo, before slumping to the side, the effects of the Vandaminator finally registering to Kage, the deranged man unable to pull himself over for the pin at the moment.
Sharpton: God dammit, Kage! Get up! Cover him!
Hartman: With some help from The Tiger and Hell's Guardian, Bidwell might still be in this!
HG blocks a punch from The Demon, quickly hitting a kick to Demon's gut before grabbing his head, the crowd erupting into cheers as HG jumps up for a GKO-NO! Demon grabs HG in mid-jump, keeping HG from pulling him down into the finisher, and instead flips HG around into a FLAMING HELL!!! The crowd gasps as HG's head is driven into the ground in the hard Piledriver. The camera switches views to TT, who is hit by a sudden straight uppercut by Big Daddy before lifted up into a surprise ROCK BOTTOM!!! The crowd boos heavily at this, but their jeers get even louder as the camera's view goes over to Bidwell and Kage, who slowly rolls over to lay an arm across Bidwell's chest, Jackie sliding in for the count. "1...2...THREE!!!"
Sharpton: NOW it's over, Vic! And it's just like I said!
Hartman: My god...This is...This is...
Sharpton: Awesome? Amazing? THE COOLEST FUCKING THING EVER?!?!
Kage rolls off of Bidwell, smiling as he stares up at the ceiling. Victor Cross enters the ring, barely able to speak, even with the microphone, over the crowd's boos. "Here is your winner, Raymond Kage!!!" Big Daddy and Demon walk over to help Kage up, the three turning around to survey the carnage, watching as The Tiger, Hell's Guardian and Victor Bidwell lie motionless, paramedics rushing in to take Bidwell away on a stretcher, officials helping TT and HG to their feet slowly. The three smile and laugh as they walk out of the hall, heading back down the hallway. The camera stays on them, however. Big Daddy speaks as they continue down the hall. "Great job, Kage...I knew I was making a good decision when I decided to take you two under my wing." Kage only laughs, quite tired from the match. As the trio round the corner, a large man in a black BTWF hoodie bumps into Big Daddy, apparently accidentally, knocking Big Daddy back a bit. The man continues walking, not even seeming to have noticed. Demon turns to go and teach the man a lesson, but Big Daddy holds up a hand to stop him. "I'll take care of this myself..." Big Daddy walks behind the man and grabs the man's shoulder, turning the man around to face him. "Hey, do you realize who you just bumped int-" Big Daddy stops speaking as the color drains out of his face and he stumbles backward slightly, looking up into the hood of the hoodie. "You..." The camera feed cuts out.
