W2 DAY 2
INT. MALL OF AMERICA - ARENA AREA
COLIN MCRAE and BIANCA DIAZ sit at their desk as the fans cheer and "Come Together" by Soundgarden plays in the speakers.
Colin: Welcome back for Day 2! I'm Colin McRae.
Bianca: And I'm Bianca Diaz. A wild first day, Colin.
Colin: Absolutely. In the course of just one day we've combined 4 leagues into one, learned that our two main titles are going to be re-christened, had a whole spate of people going to the world-renowned Path to Glory, all of whom won their first round match, and two of our expected competitors were attacked brutally.
Bianca: This event rarely forgets to go off with a bang and this is no different. What are you hoping to see in Day 2?
Colin: Honestly, I'd love the chaos to stay in the ring today if possible. Gotta pace ourselves if we're going to make it to Day 12 without all having coronaries. What about you?
Bianca: It was wild to see the champ get wrecked by a tag team guy in the last match yesterday, I'd love to see Schmetterling back on his feet and showing the crowd why he holds that belt. And of course my Sugar Cooki offer still stands, if you've got a win in you girl.
Colin: Alright well, let's not waste time then! Ash Greaves and Lily Martin are in the ring ready to take us back into the wilderness.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and will count towards points in the Round Robin!
"Freedom" by Nepali band Sparkle rocks through the speakers as the lights go dark blue and the lights approximate a planetarium laser show. Kalpana does a flip into Spiderman pose on the stage, then runs down the ramp and springboards into a flip over the rope into the Spiderman pose.
Ash: First, from Inurawa, Nepal, the Innovator of Inurawa, Kalpana!
Bianca: Daria Donner was accurate in her callout to Kalpana...she calls herself an Innovator and when saw her fight I agreed but after that springboard coffin drop by Crash Course among other crazy moves we saw yesterday, Kalpana is going to have to step it up to live up to her self-styled name.
A small red curtain and red carpet lay out as "Lost and Found" from the City of Angels musical plays. Broadway Bloom preens and poses as she walks down.
Ash: And her opponent, from New York, New York, the Great White of the Great White Way, Broadway Bloom!
The bell rings. Bloom grabs a mic.
Broadway Bloom: Now look here, Miss Sai-
Kalpana socks her right in the mouth and jumps her with Thesz press.
Colin: Kalpana might have actually done her a favor and stopped her from getting canceled. Kal wraps her head in a headlock and bridging over into a headlock submiss-no wait, lifting her up? DEADLIFT BRAINBUSTER!
Bianca: Well, gotta hand it to her, she's keeping the creativity going! Off the ropes now, jumps over Broadway and...backwards gymnastics tumble into a standing moonsault! Someone's been watching Olympics floor routines! She's going for the cover-up...
1...
Colin: 1 count and Broadway is up! Kalpana with a series of quick kicks and it's all that Broadway Bloom can do to try to fend her off! Broadway Bloom holding her guts now as Kal charges back and comes off the ropes.
Bianca: A corkscrew dropkick! Broadway down again and tries to use the middle rope to get herself up but Kalpana boots her from behind and Bloom is draped over the edge! Kal winding herself up and ramps off Bloom's back, grabs hold of the ropes and it looks like we're in the rings part of the competition! Kalpana swings herself over the ropes and double boot to Bloom's face! But wait, she's not letting go of the rope!
Colin: It takes a lot of core strength to hold the rope that long and she's...she's doing pull-up dropkicks to Bloom's face!
Bianca: That's just embarrassing for Bloom now and she seems to agree as she's out of her stupor now and catches Kalpana by the waist! Wrapping her legs around her head through the ropes and PILEDRIVER ON THE APRON! KALPANA'S HEAD HAS BEEN DRIVEN STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO THE APRON! AND SHE CRUMPLES OVER THE EDGE!
Colin: First sign of offense by Bloom and it's a big one.
1...
Bianca: First physical offense by Bloom.
2...
Colin: True...wait, what's Emma doing out here??
Emma checks on Kalpana. Bloom cackles and grabs her mic again.
3...
Broadway Bloom: Ah how sweet, but I tried to tell you Emma, being a hero is a losing game. She threw her all at me and I ended her in one move.
Emma tries to rally the crowd with a clap. Broadway Bloom laughs coldly.
4...
Broadway Bloom: Are you trying to do the Tinkerbell clap? Really? You are DELUSIONAL.
The crowd starts to clap, with gradual intensity.
5...
Broadway Bloom: You all believe this? Grow up.
Kalpana gets to her feet. The crowd goes wild including Emma and Bloom rolls her eyes.
6...Kalpana climbs up on the table. Emma nods and sticks out her hands.
Colin: And Emma has got Kalpana's back and she jumps onto Emma's hands little lift lands Kalpana on the apron but only for a second! Kalpana propels up to the top rope and bounces up to a 180 and Bloom kicks her off the ropes back out! Crash into the apron!
Bloom clicks her tongue.
Bloom: (singing) Getting to knoooow you, getting to know all about youuuuu...
1...
Kalpana gets to her feet again.
Bloom: (singing) Getting to liiiiike you....
2...
Kalpana climbs up to the apron and goes for a springboard clothesline but Bloom instinctively punches her with the microphone still in her hand.
Bianca: And Bloom whacks her with the microphone! And Lily calls for the bell! Bloom looks down at her hands in shock, she actually may not have meant to do that! She operated on instinct and it cost her the match!
Ash: Your winner by disqualification and awarded three points, Kalpana!
Colin: Someone wake Kalpana up and tell her she won!
An official and Emma help Kalpana up to her feet and as Kalpana starts to come back mentally she recognizes that her music is playing and weakly holds her hand up.
Bianca: And Ann Lee will be on hand later to check in with Kalpana. Well, Colin, you did say you wanted the chaos contained in the ring.
Colin: Be careful what you wish for folks here at MAWL. But for now, while Kalpana heads to the medical tent, we are going to jump into our second match and Ash Greaves is in the ring, they're ready to kick us off. Ash?
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall is for points towards the Round Robin!
We hear the sweeping entrance of a news broadcast as a voice says "Now here's Kira Dain with the weather" as Kira Dain enters onto the stage.
The voice keeps its newscaster voice as the music abruptly cuts and says "And Pain." At this point Kira takes off her blazer to reveal her wrestling top to cheers from the crowd as fireworks go off on the ramp. The music shifts to Nita Strauss feat. Dorothy "Victorious" and she pumps her arms with the crowd as she walks down the ring. She gets in the ring and rips off the skirt to reveal her wrestling trunks.
Ash: From Sheridan, Wyoming, the Weather Woman, KIRA DAIN!
DNCE "Cake by the Ocean" cues up as a woman comes out fist pumping, occasionally alternating mixing a bowl. This is Sugar Cooki.
Ash: And her opponent, from the Jersey Shore, SUGAR COOKI!
Colin: Well Bianca, I guess we're going to learn early on what your look for tomorrow is going to be.
Bianca: Yep, I guess so.
The bell rings. Sugar Cooki locks up Kira Dain. Sugar attempts to throw Dain off the ropes, but Dain reverses it.
Colin: Dain switches it up on Sugar Cooki. Sugar back off the ropes and Dain catches her with a Fisherman Suplex. No count as Sugar is back to her feet, and Dain swings a high kick at her. There's that MMA training as 1 high kick quickly becomes 6, with alternating legs. Sugar is put very quickly on the defense and tries to keep up.
Bianca: Sugar Cooki finally catches her breath and leg whip! She tries for an ankle lock but Dain makes it to the ropes. And Lily starts the count-
1...
2...
Colin: Sugar lets go of the hold but down and throwing fists on Kira. You can see the Jersey come out in her face.
Bianca: Picks up Dain's arms and repeated stomps to the head! Pulls her up by the hair now and chop down on the chest! She's getting right up in Kira's face and yelling at her!
Colin: Kira isn't used to this in the Middle of the Country.
Bianca: Kira isn't used to this kind of closeness in any regard. And harsh slap by Cooki!
Colin: Kira wipes her face and looks up at Sugar Cooki. Returns the slap! Gets up and throws a fist! Another! And a couple of bionic elbows to boot!
Bianca: And now a boot to boot! Sugar Cooki pushed back! These two stylistically are a perfect match of in your face aggression.
Colin: Kira with a scoop slam! Jumping elbow drop! Grabs the arm and Judo Flip! Into an armbar!
Bianca: No! That's Sugar's fist pumping arm! Sugar reverses into a small package pin!
1...
Colin: Kira trying to reapply pressure on the arm. Sugar Cooki goes for the low kick and Kira catches her foot in between her knees! Wrangled into an Octopus stretch! Sugar Cooki is screaming in pain!
Bianca: Cooki trying to get her free foot up and enziguiri! Kira finally lets go!
Colin: Cooki off the ropes now and CAUGHT IN A POWERSLAM! Kira lifts her up and Cooki with a Back Body Drop reversal! Kira from the ground gets hold of Cooki's legs and brings her down with her!
Bianca: The weather is unpredictable and also unyielding. And Kira has Cooki locked in a Boston Crab!
Cooki screams and tries to grab the rope! She's successful and the ref counts!
1...
Kira lets go and Cooki takes this opportunity to scramble outside to the apron.
Bianca: Cooki now on the top rope, TOP ROPE COOKI CUTTER!
Colin: Hope you can find your Aquanet, Bianca!
1...
2...
3!
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded 3 points, Sugar Cooki!
Sugar Cooki fist pumps and mocks the crowd as DNCE "Cake by the Ocean" plays.
Colin: And I'm getting word that Kalpana is more lucid and Ann is back with her. Ann?
INT. BACKSTAGE - MOMENTS LATER
ANN LEE stands by Kalpana who sits on a chair with an icepack on her head.
Ann: That was a bit of brutality out there for you, Kalpana. How are you recovering?
Kalpana: Well, as you can see, I have a bit of a headache Ann. Actually, I have three headaches. This physical one, and the dual headaches of Daria Donner and Broadway Bloom. Daria is one that's going to follow me to PATH but right here right now Broadway Bloom, you made two real mistakes - one was your little racial profile Broadway revue cause guess what bitch I'm not Thai and I'm not Vietnamese, and two was getting me all wrapped up in your little corruption attempt of Emma Janeer, because now you've gone and made me real, real mad. And guess what - I'm two for two, boo, with all the dirty tricks and nonsense that people have tried to pull. Part of innovation is intelligence. You really think you can outsmart me? Now I've got my target set on you, I'm gonna make sure I get my hands on you again before this week ends, and you're gonna full on regret it. Also, Emma, you are a beautiful being of light. Thank you and never change. Now I'm gonna heal up, I have 10 more days of this complete insanity to get through.
Kalpana walks away.
Ann: Back to you, Colin and Bianca.
INT. ARENA - CONTINUOUS
Bianca and Colin sit at the desk, whereas Ash and Lily are in the ring.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the round robin!
The lights give a stained-glass like feeling as the colors rotate. The instrumental of "CASTLE OF GLASS" by Linkin Park plays and as the drums hit, Gil and Perry stand on the center of the stage and pound fists which causes two thin pillars of sparks to arise. They strut down the ramp, giving pump up shouts to the fans who cheer them back. Occasionally they pound a fist each of a fan. When they enter the ring, they both do the square hand smash in synchronicity, then scream and pillars of sparks go off in the ring.
Ash: First, accompanied by Unrelenting Perry Payne, from Neenah, Wisconsin, weighing in at 291 pounds, Unbreakable Gilbert Glass!
Habitually Henry "Capybara" plays as Capybara pops up and down in the audience before flipping into the ring.
Ash: And his opponent! From Bang Phra, Thailand, weighing in at 2012 pounds, Capybara!
The bell rings. Capybara hops around a bit while Gilbert stretches out his hands.
Colin: And we're off. Gilbert Glass is going rodent hunting in this first match of the Men's Round 2. Capybara bouncing around and charges RIGHT INTO GILBERT'S BOOT! And Gilbert keeping his foot going with a series of stomps! And he scoops him up into a scoop slam! And more stomps!
Bianca: The man clearly hates small creatures! Deadlift suplex! And he locks in a crossface chickenwing!
Colin: Capybara trying to get to his feet and Gilbert really holding that lock in place. Capybara kicking up again, fighting to his feet, gets his feet on the rope! And flips him over into an Operation Dragon pin!
1...
Colin: Gilbert kicks out at 1! Throwing hands now! Hits Capybara with two quick rights and a stiff left! Capybara stutters back and Gilbert drills him back with another big boot! Pulls Capybara forward into a lariat! Holding onto the arm, coming for the lariat a second time and Capybara ducks the lariat and standing dropkick!
Bianca: Snapping back and a running frog splash by Capybara! Running around the other way and coming back with a rolling senton! Capybara signaling a call! Capybara into the corner, here comes a runback, going to take us to the Riverboat and NO GLASS DUCKS IT AND ROLLS CAPYBARA UP!
1...
2...
Colin: Capybara is up! Capybara grabs Glass by the head and nails him with repeated headbutts! Capybara backs Glass into a corner and charges with a headbutt! Throws Glass into another corner and charges at him again, back elbow shot. Throws Glass down and up to the middle turnbuckle, Senton to the back of Glass. Kick to the midsection and scooping into a German Suplex!
Bianca: Glass rolls back, locking in a dragon sleeper! Capybara getting to the ropes, flipping over and locking in his own dragon sleeper! Glass with some quick punches to the head and flips himself over into a dragon sleeper! These two favoring this move means it's just going to be a question of who gets the last laugh!
Colin: Gilbert trying to drag the hold into the center of the ring to prevent Capybara getting any leverage and Capybara with an elbow to the gut! Capybara can get the leverage on his own and flips over Gilbert!! He's got the arm hooked this time! Glass seems to be going down! He's got that Nightcap on!
Gilbert Glass taps out to The Nightcap. The bell is rung. Lily Martin raises Capybara's hand as "Capybara" plays through the speaker.
Ash: Here is your winner, and awarded three points, Capybara!
Bianca: Don't assume that these are joke wrestlers - they made it into this tournament for a reason. Gilbert Glass learned that the hard way.
Colin: Ash is back in the ring. And it looks like Perry and Gilbert are going to be sticking around for the next match.
Linkin Park "CASTLE OF GLASS" (Instrumental) picks back up.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the round robin!
Ash: Accompanied by Unbreakable Gilbert Glass, from Corning, New York, weighing in at 246 pounds, Unrelenting Perry Payne!
"Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World plays as Taylor Tekk and Cindy Sweet walk out, flying a drone camera that they're using to take silly selfies with each other and with the audience.
Ash: And his opponent, accompanied by Cindy Sweet, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 195 pounds, The Modern Magician, Taylor Tekk!
Bianca: The team of Baking Impossible, similar to teams like P. Crue, have different songs separately than together. When they come together it's a Jimmy Eat World jam. It's just good to see them together this time.
Colin: They have a match at the end on Day 12 to show off their tag team prowess, we have yet to learn who's going to be the ones stepping up to the plate but it should be interesting.
Taylor and Perry circle each other. The bell rings and Perry immediately throws a barrage of fists.
Colin: Perry already putting fists to Taylor. The first few matches we had were fairly quick endeavors compared to yesterday, and with someone like Perry Payne I don't think this is going to be much different.
Bianca: Yesterday also felt longer because of the tag title match and announcements too. But Perry switching up his hands on Taylor Tekk to continue the punch barrage. Taylor Tekk is a solid technical wrestler when given the opportunity who prefers precision and finesse, and has just had the misfortune of dealing with the Manifestation two days in a row, with Gilbert having a style preferring brutality and now Perry a very speedy fighter. Sending Tekk off the ropes and going off the ropes himself, shoulder tackle! Taylor Tekk recoils back, that looks like it was a brutal hit. Taylor trying to escape over to the ropes for just a second of air, Cindy Sweet walking over to him now to give a pep talk and Gilbert off the ropes with the foot out, shooting TWO Ducks! Cindy collapses off to the side!
Colin: Taylor shocked and Glass rolls him up!
1!
2!
3!
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, Unrelenting Perry Payne!
Linkin Park "CASTLE OF GLASS" Instrumental starts to play. Cindy Sweet grabs a mic and signals to cut the music.
Cindy: No, no, see. Two days of dealing with you two not even giving my boy Tay here a chance to catch his breath. Tay deserves better and so do these people.
Perry laughs and grabs a mic.
Perry: See, kiddo, this is all part of the game, y'all chose to dance in this circle, this is how my boy and me go, we run hard and if y'all can't keep up then maybe maybe go back to baking and...playing with your toys, or whatever it is y'all do. Gil and me, we weren't even gonna be in this tournament y'all got and already we're 3 for 4 meanwhile right now, where I sit, you're...0 for 3? Did I do that math right?
The fans "OH."
Perry: Maybe you need to look up what Unrelenting says in the dictionary, 'cause I gave you exactly what was advertised. You're right about one thing though, I'll give you that. And that's that these fans deserve better. Gil and me, we agreed to move on under the idea that we would leave the tag division here in good hands. So you badass people here in the Mall of America, I apologize. It was shortsighted. Gil and me, we didn't see this coming. We didn't see the tag division being put in the hands of bakers and birds and two wannabe gangster rappers. And we hope that if it don't work in Path, cause we been wanting to see the world for some time now so please forgive us for doing that, but we hope you'll welcome us back so we can teach these fools exactly where the window goes.
The fans chant "Defenestrate". Perry smiles and motions out to the crowd. Cindy gets in Perry's face.
Cindy: So show us.
Perry: We did. Twice. Both of us beat your boy's ass in less time than it takes you to make your little cupcakes. Wasn't that exactly what you were complaining about? So we're done here.
Perry starts to leave the ring. Cindy puts her hand out.
Cindy: Are you backing away from a challenge? Are you...relenting?
Perry: I didn't hear a challenge.
Cindy: So let me make it clear for you. There's two of us, there's two of you. Right here, right now. Let's go.
Perry laughs.
Perry: There's a whole card today. If I'm not mistaken, you're wrestling in a little bit. We'll come back for you, but we don't got time right now.
MAWL President Leila Blake shows up on the ramp with a mic.
Leila: Actually, these past few matches went quicker than expected and we're ahead of schedule. So I'll allow it.
Bianca: WHAT? An unexpected tag match in the middle of the W2??
Colin: She's right though, these matches wrapped up too quickly. Looks like we're getting a tag match!
MANIFESTATION OF DEFENESTRATION VS BAKING IMPOSSIBLE
Perry Payne and Cindy Sweet start in the ring. Gilbert Glass and Taylor Tekk get up on this apron, not too pleased with this turn of events.
Bianca: And Perry and Cindy to start it. Taylor and Gilbert don't like what's transpired.
Colin: They both just lost matches right before this, and I imagine they're exhausted.
Cindy Sweet attempts a schoolboy pin.
Colin: Cindy looking to end this one quickly.

Cindy and Taylor hit Gilbert with a double suplex, then Cindy goes out and Taylor tags her in.
Bianca: Gilbert bounces off the mat! Cindy now the legal person.

Colin: Glass Cannon! And Cindy rebuffs the pin attempt.

Colin: A lot of attempts for a pin but no one pulling it off.
Gilbert winds her with a gut punch then holds her upside down as if he's going to piledrive her but instead bear hugs her, putting her in the Big Rig.
Colin: Big Rig! This could be the end for Cindy Sweet!
But Taylor pulls his legs out, putting Cindy in a pin situation which Gil kicks out of before 1. Cindy uses this momentum to run off the ropes and nail Gil with a dropkick. Cindy goes for the cover, which Gilbert reverses into a roll-up. Cindy reverses this into a Baker's Dozen (Lucky 13) submission.
Bianca: It's been a very back-and-forth match with no one able to maintain momentum for too long, but Cindy has in the Baker's Dozen! And it looks like the Glass may be breaking!
Gilbert taps out!!
Colin: What an unfortunate situation to notch two losses in one day, Bianca!
Ash: Here are your winners, Cindy Sweet and Taylor Tekk, Baking Impossible!
Taylor and Cindy hug as their hands are raised by Lily.
Colin: So let's get real here. Cindy Sweet is carrying this team.
Bianca: Oh, 100 percent.
Colin: And she's got one of the last matches of the night, so we'll see her later in action.
Bianca: But this tag match meant that our scheduled next match was delayed, so let's get that going!
Ash enters the ring.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and will count towards points in the Round Robin!
The lights go green and the projection of a giant eye illuminates the ramp. "Under My Umbrella" by Incubus plays as Iris Correa walks out in her scrubs and preens to an annoyed audience.
Ash: First, from Denver, Colorado, the "Eye-Con", Iris Correa!
Colin: Correa was the first casualty of the W2, being torn down by Kalpana pretty definitively yesterday.
Bianca: It's not going to get much easier for her. Her competitor is a Sneaky Susan.
Colin: I don't think that's a saying.
Bianca: Shut up Colin.
The Tron shows a helicopter landing. "Rich" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs plays as Jenkins the butler ushers in Zora Luthor, who holds the edges of her blazer Ted DiBiase style and saunters to the ring.
Ash: And her opponent! Accompanied by Jenkins, from Wall Street, the Corporate Corruptor, Zora Luthor!
Jenkins holds the rope open for Zora who enters, then Zora takes her blazer and pencil skirt off to reveal her wrestling gear. The bell rings.
Bianca: And we're off. One of these women is going to stop themselves from a losing streak, and the other is going to have a much bigger gap to close if they want to make it to that final day.

Colin: Then Iris is just going to have to come to her! Iris chasing after her and Zora jumps out of the way! Iris takes Jenkins off the apron.
Bianca: That's an occupational hazard when working for Zora Luthor and Jenkins's expression doesn't change a beat. The man is ice cold.
Colin: Zora uses the momentum to roll Iris up!
1!
Bianca: Iris trying to roll her the other way now! And no count! Zora is up! Zora with a boot to Iris's midsection, it looks like Zora's going to be made to fight again.

Iris pulling them both up, Zora starting to get a little nervous as she's lifted off the ground, Backpack Stunner! Iris is back in this one! Iris with a side headlock, kicks up for a DDT! Arm dragon screw! Iris building up a head of steam, off the ropes for a basement dropkick! Loading the fists now, getting over Zora and wailing on her.
Bianca: Zora needs to find some ground to get Iris away, and being trapped in the turnbuckle is not gonna do it!
Jenkins hands Zora a can of hairspray.
Bianca: One good thing about being in a corner though is that the ref is blind to what's behind you and ZORA SPRAYS IRIS WITH THE HAIRSPRAY! IRIS is screaming!
Colin: Iris is standing but looks like she might wretch and Zora off the ropes with an axe kick! Pure aggression from this woman!
Bianca: Lily's good but even she misses some things, can't be helped. Zora with the armbar now and the Sleeper is locked in! Zora's got the Shareholder locked in!
Iris submits.
Colin: Iris taps!
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, Zora Luthor!!
Bianca: Some days it works, and some days it doesn't, Colin, and this time Zora's underhanded tactics paid off handsomely.
Colin: I'm sure it's going to be a champagne lunch for Zora today, but she's still got 10 more days of this to get through. Iris Correa is now officially on a losing streak.
Bianca: We've got Ann backstage with Sugar Cooki, who seems to be having a real good time back there. Ann?
INT. BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS
Sugar Cooki is twerking with some glow sticks and Christmas EDM going. Ann tries to hide a smirk and stay professional as Sugar Cooki comes up and grinds up on her a little.
Ann: I'm here with Sugar Cooki who seems to be in a REAL festive mood following her win.
Sugar: Ay! What you know about it Ann Lee? What you, whatchu know about it?

Ann smiles and gives the littlest twerk.
Sugar: OhKAY Ann Lee I see girlie's got moves!
Ann and Sugar get down a little. Of course this all draws the attention of Neon Juan Guyverno.
Neon Juan: OKAY! I knew there was a party in you Ann Lee! We doing the dancing? We doing the party party?
Ann and Sugar give Neon Juan the biggest stink-eye as they walk away.
Ann: Uch, no.
Sugar: Grenade.
They leave. Neon Juan shrugs and continues dancing.
INT. ARENA - CONTINUOUS
Bianca and Colin sigh and shake their heads.
Bianca: Saying party or dance anywhere the vicinity of Neon Juan is like saying walkies to a dog.
Colin: Careful, he might hear you.
Bianca: I think we have to watch him fight later tonight anyway. Least it gets him away from my girl Sugar.
Colin: (starting to fade out as the crowd cheers for Ash Greaves in the ring now) So she's your girl now.
Bianca: (also starting to fade a little as they both chuckle) Yeah we're besties now.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and counts towards points in the Round Robin!
The Lights Go completely Out, then a Single Spotlight hits the Stage. Nightwish "Phantom of the Opera" cues up and Tragedeigh sweeps her arms up as if conducting the crescendo. The spotlight follows her down the ramp as she keeps her arms open. Some fans sing along. She enters the ring and bows sweeping. The lights come on at this time.
Ash: First, from Edina, Minnesota, The Gen Z Dramaturge, TRAGEDEIGH!
Colin: Tragedeigh may be as close to a hometown hero as you're going to get here in Minnesota, and it's clear some of her theater friends have decided to join the fun.
Leila: We'll see how much fun they're having at the end of this, Maverick is fired up after her loss yesterday and out to cause some damage.
Colin: And here she comes.
Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" plays as projections of fighter jets fly ahead and a woman in a flight suit and aviators comes out saluting the audience John Cena style. She gets a mixed reaction.
Ash: And her opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, MORGAN MAVERICK!
The boos intensify a little bit, with some cheers mixed in. The bells ring.
Colin: In any other crowd in any other situation, Morgan would be carried by litter bearers. But Minnesota is strong about two things, football rivalries and hometown heroes, and you've got essentially an Eagle playing a Viking right now.
Morgan shrugs and kicks Tragedeigh square in the gut.
Bianca: Morgan doesn't seem too bothered by it! She shrugs and decides to get aggressive! Morgan railing Tragedeigh into a corner and a foot choke! She does the little Hogan ear! Lily starts the count.
1...
2...
3...
Morgan backs off the foot, but immediately rushes Tragedeigh in the corner with a series of frenetic forearms then gestures arrogantly to the crowd.
Colin: And Morgan Maverick seems to be enjoying herself!
Bianca: Oh, I've done this version of the messy bun, this means business.
Colin: And Morgan Maverick keeping Tragedeigh in the corner with her hand and a SOLID chop across the chest! And another! And a gut punch!
Bianca: It's a side of a good performer when you can adapt to the situation. There's nothing sadder than someone trying to play to a crowd who hates them, and when you can read the room and respond it tells me you're going places. I don't think Morgan expected to play the villain today, but she certainly is responding to it well. And she drapes her leg over Tragedeigh's throat, choking her out! Sticks her tongue at the audience!
1!
2!
3!
Colin: Throwing Tragedeigh into the other turnbuckle! And charging towards her with a rough forearm! Morgan climbing the turnbuckle and Top Gun! A flip stunner and Tragedeigh is down! And okay, you're just overdoing it with the feet on the ropes now.
1!
2!
3!
Ash: And here is your winner and awarded three points, Morgan Maverick!
"Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins starts to play. Morgan waves her hand to cut the music.
Morgan: I've got a much better song for the remainder of this competition.
GoGoGadjet "No One Likes Us/Fly Eagles Fly Remix" plays. The crowd boos Morgan, who flicks her hair and struts out.
Colin: You think this is a new side to Morgan we'll have to deal with?
Bianca: No, I think this is a Minnesota special. But time will tell I guess.
Colin: Well, we don't have too much time to focus on it because we've got a heavy hitter coming into this next match. But first is his competitor.
Bianca: Who is a heavy hitter...onner...
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the Round Robin!
The stadium turns into a full on dance floor with smoke machine and laser show as Deorro Feat. Elvis Crespo "Baillar" plays. The audience engages in the dancing and out comes Neon Juan busting various moves. He grinds, flexes his abs at various members of the audience and flirts with anyone of an adult age as he walks down the arena. He smells of intense cologne. He uses the turnbuckle pole as a dancer pole for a moment then shakes his chest on the top turnbuckle as he takes off his vest.
Ash: First, from La Santa, Mexico, weighing 235 pounds, El Divertido, Neon Juan Guyverno!
The lights go out, and we hear the yell of "SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING" and the crowd goes nuts as Schmetterling walks out to Rammstein "Mein Herz Brennt" with a mini flamethrower that he shoots in the sky whenever "BRENNT" is yelled.
Ash: And his opponent, from Mellrichstadt, Germany, weighing in at 219 pounds, the MAWL Champion, SCHMETTERLING!
The bell rings.
Bianca: Schmetterling right at the bell jumping into Neon Juan's space with closed fists and not wasting any time with Neon Juan, learning from yesterday and not taking chances. Pushing Neon Juan into the corner and throwing lefts and rights and pummeling now with back elbows! Knee shots! Schmetterling up to the top rope and comes down with a bulldog! This is the Schmetterling we know and love. Neon Juan has yet to take off his shades and already he's being showered with pain. Schmetterling off the ropes and front dropkick! Picks Juan up and belly to belly!
Schmetterling: SCHMETTERLIIIIING!
The crowd goes nuts.
Colin: Schmetterling off the ropes again and Neon Juan catches him this time with a hurricanrana! Roll back and basement dropkick by Juan! Runs back and Kippou Kick! Juan really getting something going now!
Bianca: I think Juan is realizing he's going to have to go toe to toe with him in the ring, Schmetterling isn't going to give him a chance to do something sneaky.
Colin: Juan off the ropes again and possum roll-up by Schmetterling!
1!
Colin: Juan reverses the roll-up!
1!
Bianca: Schmetterling kicks out! They're going blow for blow now! A lot of speed in that ring! Both of them having the same idea to go off the ropes and Dragon Arm Screw by Schmetterling but Neon Juan lands on his feet, tries a front dropkick but Schmetterling grabs his legs and goes for the slingshot, Neon Juan catches hold of the top rope going for a Phoenix Splash and nails it! Neon Juan back out to the apron springboards off the top rope and shooting star press!
Colin: We focus so much on the sleaze factor of Juan that we sometimes forget that he had been training in his teen years over at CMLL, didn't quite make it into the ring during that time but very much has that lucha training that's serving him well right now! Back to the Apron and Tope Con Hilo! Has his feet on the ropes, going for the pin but this time Lily Martin catches it and Schmetterling is able to take the moment to roll him up!
1!
2!
Bianca: Neon Juan kicks out and tries to monkey flip Schmetterling, but Schmetterling lands on his feet and lifts Neon Juan for a German Suplex, trying to launch him in the Reisen NO Juan flips back and lands on his feet runs back and charges at Schmetterling but Schmetterling matadors him out of the ring but HANDSPRING ON THE APRON PLANTS HIS BACK FEET ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROPE PUSHES HIMSELF UPWARD AND MOONSAULT BACK INTO THE RING BUT SCHMETTERLING CATCHES HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! HOLY LORD! AND NEON JUAN GOES DOWN ON HIS FACE FROM THAT KICK!
Colin: Schmetterling just stopped him in his tracks!
Bianca: Lucha wrestling gets poo-pooed a lot as flippy nonsense by slam enthusiasts but there is a level of finesse, technical precision, and full understanding of not only your body and your place in the world but your opponent's as well! If you take a 450 splash and hit 430 angles or 470, you're going to have a very bad day.
Colin: I have to say when he's not cheating or smarming, Neon Juan is a pure joy to watch in the ring. You can see the respect and love he has for this craft.
Bianca: Of course, he'd be having a better day if he did cheat, but I admire him trying to fight this match clean even if just for strategic reasons. It's not paying off very well, but all the same.
Colin: He's getting more in on Schmetterling than expected, the champ seems more and more human with these past two matches, but that Superkick was something special.
Bianca: It's almost a shame that his past two competitors are going over to Path because they clearly would get Schmetterling a run for his money. You can see the exhaustion in his movements. And he's going over to Juan again and scooping him up, Take 2 on the Reisen as he calls his release German suplex, it means trip in German and he's planning to send Neon Juan on a journey, up he goes and NO JUAN REVERSES IT AGAIN! BACK ON HIS FEET AND DROPKICK TO SCHMETTERLING'S BACK! Schmetterling pushed into the ropes, Neon Juan running back to clothesline him and SCHMETTERLING PULLS DOWN THE ROPE! NEON JUAN IS OUT OF THE RING!
Colin: Didn't land on his feet this time, I was beginning to think he was part cat.
Bianca: Juan pulling the glow bracelet from his hand and it looks like he's done playing it nice! Schmetterling no! It's a trap!
Colin: People don't learn and WHOA SPRINGBOARD INTO A DRAGON ARM SCREW! He saw the punch coming after all! Neon Juan crashes into the barricade and Schmetterling takes the bracelet from Juan's hand! Is he going to put it on his own...NO he's giving it to a young fan! There's so much to love about this!
1!
Colin: And this is what we were saying by Schmetterling isn't going to allow this games to be played! He had Juan's number read!
2!
Bianca: Schmetterling picks Juan up and scoop slams him onto the floor!
3!
Bianca: Grabbing Juan by the mohawk and throwing him back in the ring. He could have just left this as a count-out but no one wants that. Hooks him up - BUTTERFLY PILEDRIVER! He goes for the cover!
1!
2!
3!
Colin: And that's all she wrote for Neon Juan!
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, SCHMETTERLIIIIING!!
Rammstein "Mein Herz Brennt" plays as Schmetterling grabs the mini-flamethrower and shoots it up at the sky.
Colin: That was truly an amazing match, and the fans you can tell are into it.
Bianca: A clinic was put on by these two, and Schmetterling got himself back in the right direction.
INT. BACKSTAGE - CONCURRENT
Taylor Tekk runs into Cindy Sweet as she exits President Leila Blake's Office.
Cindy (to Blake): Thanks Leila! It's so much appreciated. (to Taylor) Hey TayTay!
Taylor: Hey! What was that about?
Cindy: Oh! It's the best news! Our match on Day 12? I got it to be a first contender's match for the Tag Titles!
Taylor: (somewhat hesitant but also excited) That's...awesome! Did we talk about doing it?
Cindy: Nah I just figured you know, leading with confidence paid off in getting our win earlier, I'd just kinda ride the wave.
Taylor: I mean...did...it?
Cindy: Yeah! You were 0 for 2 and now you got a big win under your belt against a team in a world federation! We could be tag champs bro!
Taylor: (weak smile) Hooray us.
Cindy: Okay, what's up Tay? This is big news!
Taylor: Just like, we're a team right? So we should be making these decisions...together? Like, do we know who we're fighting even?
Cindy: Ah we got them. You're in your head too much my dude. This is great! We should go out tonight and celebrate!
Taylor: Yeah...yeah! Let me just get my coat.
Taylor walks off. Cindy shrugs, but is then approached by Sugar Cooki who is ebullient.
Sugar Cooki: YOOOO BITCH! WAY To get it in there and just go for what you want! You're out here gettin' it DONE! Killin' it girlie! You got more Jersey in you than you think!
Sugar Cooki walks off before Cindy can say anything. Cindy looks in Sugar Cooki's direction bemused then gives the Jim Halpert look to the camera.
INT. ARENA - CONTINUOUS
Colin and Bianca are joined by Ann Lee.
Colin: It looks like we're joined now by Ann Lee. What brings you out here?
Ann: Hiding from Neon Juan.
Bianca: You'd think losing would dampen his spirits.
Ann: If anything he's even MORE aggressively and obnoxiously dancing. Guy needs therapy.
Colin: Well we're always happy to have you.
Ash enters the ring with Lily there.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards the point total in the Round Robin!
Ann: Thanks. There's only two people I'm trying to avoid really. Neon Juan and...
The lights go dark and a glowing red smiley face shows on the tron.
Ann: (sighing) ...Yep.
The lights are black. Like black black. "Mitternacht" by e nomine plays and all that can be seen is the smiley faces which also glow on the poles facing into the ring. Once Rade gets into the ring he closes his hands around his face to cover the mask and the lights go on.
Ash: First, from deep in the Black Forest, weighing in at 355 pounds, Der Blutsammler, RADE!
A man in a Crash Test themed suit with crash test symbol face paint and crash helmet, and carrying a dummy as Primitives “Crash” plays. This is “Crash Course” Craig Convery who runs to the ring while shaking the dummy and then running headfirst into the ring apron, acting dazed, and then telling the dummy to wait for him before getting into the ring.
Ash: And his opponent! From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 211 pounds, Crash Course Craig Convery!!
The bell rings. Immediately Rade picks Crash Course up by the throat and throws him up in the air, catching him into a Chokeslam completing the 7 Feet Under. He places his hand on Craig's chest.
1!
2!
3!
Craig: And the match is over before we could say a word! Rade with another absolute squash!
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, RADE!
Rade leaves the ring and walks back, the lights flickering as he leaves and returning to normal once he's gone.
Ann: So now they're both backstage, which means I'm going to stay out here.
Colin: Yeah, that's probably smart. We're down to the final third of these matches anyway, and then we can all go back to our hotels for the night.
Ash is in the ring ready to announce the next fighters.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and counts towards the point total in the Round Robin!
The lights go blue and sparkly, the instrumental version of "Going the Distance" from Hercules plays and the tron around Emma shows the Cinderella castle with fireworks in the tron. Emma sashays in. She puts the Minnie glasses on a fan and waves to the crowd as she enters the ring. She leans against a turnbuckle and winks at the crowd.
Ash: First, from Celebration, Florida, the Powerslam Princess, Emma Janeer!
The keyboard opening for "Song for the Dead" by Queens of the Stone Age blares as the lights go red and the titantron shows a shocked turn to camera meme, that turns into an explosion. The guitar kicks in, with the lights flashing between red and white and small fireworks going off in time with the drums. Once the drum riff leads into the frenetic guitar/drum interplay Daria charges down the ring like a madwoman. The fireworks continue to go off in time with the drums and Daria charges right through the ring sliding through the ropes, into a front flip and an Ultimate Warrior style rope shaking after which she lets out a scream.
Ash: And her opponent, from Rehoboth, Delaware, the Delaware Daredevil DARIA DONNER!
The bell rings as both circle each other intently.
Bianca: We hadn't brought this up prior but it's great to see that the Mall of America got the gear for the full entrance experiences of these wrestlers. Day 1 was a bit more sparse so it's great that these fans are getting a more full view and here we go the hands are flying! Donner off to a frenetic start throwing fists and Emma is trying to block herself in a corner now, but Donner whips her to the catercorner and running elbow strike! Back into the other corner and a running dropkick! Off the ropes and Donner catches Emma into a powerslam! Both of these women coming off a win now, so someone is going to be in a very good position going into the rest of this event. Daria letting out a little scream now! The warrior is fresh within her!
Ann: Both of these women have had experiences with Kalpana now on opposite ends of the spectrum, with Emma rescuing Kalpana from an absolute devastation earlier today and Daria and Kalpana having serious issues going back to yesterday, so it'll be interesting to see if Kalpana factors into this match. Daria off the ropes and leg drop! Emma is having a rough go of it!
Colin: Daria coming back off the ropes for another jumping elbow and no one home this time! And Emma gets in a jumping elbow of her own while Daria tries to get up from that failed attempt! Emma scoops Daria up now and POWERSLAM! Powerslam Princess lives up to her name! Daria bouncing right back up and drills Emma with a standing dropkick! Daria off the ropes now and coming back with a HANDSPRING MOONSAULT!
Ann: Daria Donner with the cover!
1!
Colin: Emma up at one. Daria hooks her with the Fisherman Suplex, Emma kicks out. Emma off the ropes now and a Sling Blade! Emma gets herself moving quickly and Handspring Capoeira Spin into a Leg Drop! That's impressive! The crowd is certainly into it. Going for the standing moonsault and Daria catches her into a monkey flip! The landing on that was rougher than Emma was expecting!
Bianca: Daria pumping her fist to the crowd as Emma starting to struggle to her feet, trying to get them pumped up, up on the middle rope, a little spin for flavor and plants Emma with a front dropkick! Back off the ropes and a flip neckbreaker! Emma is struggling to her feet, Daria says I can help you with that and hooks her into another Fisherman suplex but Emma reverses into a neckbreaker of her own!
Colin: Emma scoops Daria into a powerbomb but NO! Daria pushes herself down with a Senton and grounds Emma! These two are evenly matched, with overlapping fighting styles so they have a good sense of each other. Daria wiling herself up now! Off the ropes and clothesline 1! Off the ropes and clothesline 2! Off the ropes and Operation Dragon!!
Bianca: The Warrior scream belting out again and this sure enough seems to have brought out a friend!
Kalpana stands on the apron with a mic in her hand. She starts to walk to the ring.
Kalpana: Come on Minnesota! Clap for Emma and show her you believe!
Colin: You could cook an egg with the heat coming from Daria's glare right now.
Daria goes to the end of ropes as Kalpana walks to the ring. Though Daria doesn't have a mic she's loud.
Daria: This doesn't concern you!
Bianca: Look out behind you Daria, Emma is on her way and Emma with a Leg Lariat! She's coming off the ropes and she's going for a Tiger Faint! Drills Daria and Daria flipped back now! But wait, there's more?
Broadway Bloom emerges from the crowd and hits Kalpana with a chair.
Bianca: Broadway Bloom positively WHANGS Kalpana with that chair!! That got Emma's attention! Emma jumps off the apron to hit Bloom with a double axe handle but Bloom moves out of the way! Lily Martin begins the count!
1!
Colin: If I were Daria I'd let this play out. Emma can easily get herself counted out right now.
Bianca: But of course Daria's a hothead and she's building up a head of steam in the ring. Looks like we're about to get a suicide dive! Emma arguing with Bloom and Bloom...hands Emma the chair? Bloom appears to be helping Emma now? I mean I know she's been trying to get in Emma's head about playing dirtier so maybe and Bloom signals Emma to turn around and Emma instinctively swings the chair at Daria ending the suicide dive attempt! Lily is calling for the bell!
Ash: Your winner by disqualification and awarded three points, the Delaware Daredevil, DARIA DONNER!
Colin: And Broadway Bloom gives a little toodle-oo wave as she walks off! Emma choosing whether to give chase or check on her friend, and Emma chooses to check on Kalpana. If I were Emma and Kalpana, I'd get out of Dodge before Daria wakes up.
Ann: It's going to be an awkward time at Path for these three, that's for sure.
Emma Janeer walks Kalpana up the ramp. Daria comes to and grabs the mic.
Daria: Hey!! You two!! You better heal up REAL quick cause I'm gettin' my revenge tomorrow oh you BETTER believe it.
Daria exits through the crowd and makes a beeline for the medical tent. Ash enters the ring.
Colin: It looks like we're wrapping up the women's bracket already! Here comes the next match!
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the round robin!
The drum riff hits to the instrumental version of Nothing But Thieves "Trip Switch" hits as three lightning bolts shoot from an image of the Manx three-leg symbol done as gears. The lights give a flickering feeling, as if power surging. Tamara punches the ground then raises her arm slowly. Tamara walks down the ring, cracking her fists, all business. The crowd cheers, but she pays them no mind. She's all business. She enters the ring and punches the ground again, then slowly raises her shades off and gives the smallest of smiles.
Ash: First, from Onchan, Isle of Man, the Circuitbreaker, Tamara Rivers!!
"Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World plays as Taylor Tekk and Cindy Sweet walk out, flying a drone camera that they're using to take silly selfies with each other and with the audience.
Ash: And her opponent, accompanied by Taylor Tekk, from San Diego, California, Cindy Sweet!!
The bell rings. Cindy Sweet lunges at Tamara with a spear and mounts her with punches.
Bianca: We're getting an emboldened Cindy Sweet! We saw it earlier in the impromptu tag match. We saw it in her getting a first contender match at the end of this event. Cindy throws Tamara off the ropes and into a fireman's carry! Samoan Drop! Cindy rolls back, off the ropes, and a form of coffin drop! She lays down on Rivers for a pin-
1!
Colin: Tamara benchpressing Cindy Sweet now! And drops her onto her knees, backbreaker! Bending her over into a stretch, Cindy struggling, but gets her feet down and attempts to get Tamara into a key lock! Tamara pushes Cindy off the ropes and goes for a back body drop and Cindy trying to reverse into a roll-up but Tamara drops her into a Dudebuster! Going for the pin!

Bianca: Cindy reverses the pin!
1!

Colin: Tamara rolls it back and off the ropes into low-angle spear and CINDY GRABS HER INTO A DDT! Cindy climbing onto Tamara's back now and laying into her with fists! Cindy wraps her hands around Tamara and trying for a Sweet Release, launching and Tamara lands on her feet and trying for a release German suplex right back and Cindy stutters on the landing, but slides back just a little bunch lunges into a spear! Cindy throwing fists again and now adding stomps, grabbing onto Tamara's arms and going for a repeated stomp! This is definitely an increase in aggression from Sweet. Catapult into the turnbuckle, Tamara grabs hold of the ropes now and turns this into a Vader Bomb of sorts!
Bianca: Tamara picks Cindy up now and front slam! Picks Cindy up again and lifts overhead...looks like we're about to get the Machinehead! Throws Cindy up and CINDY COMES DOWN INTO A HURRICANRANA! THEY ARE BOTH OUT OF THE RING! Lily Martin begins the count!

6!
Bianca: Tamara doesn't learn and she comes up onto the apron and Cindy grabs her into a high angle belly-to-belly suplex, dragging her back into the ring! Cindy locks in the Baker's Dozen!!! It's too much and Tamara taps!
Cindy Sweet wins by submission with the Baker's Dozen (Lucky 13).
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, Cindy Sweet!!
Hozier "Too Sweet" plays as Cindy raises her arm. Taylor high-fives Cindy and they leave the ring, but Taylor looks back a little nervous about the destruction of Tamara Rivers.
Bianca: And Cindy Sweet absolutely decimates Tamara Rivers. She takes a more confident approach today and it nets her two wins and a potential title match. All in all a good day, I'd say.
Colin: Taylor Tekk seems a little bit hesitant about the approach that's been taken all day, but you can't deny it's paid off.
A phone rings. Ann Lee checks her pocket.
Ann: Huh. That's...that's me. It's probably nothing.
Ann attempts to silence the phone.
Ann: Sorry about that.
Bianca: Not a problem Ann. We're down to the last two matches and-
Ann's phone goes off again. Ann sighs.
Ann: I'll go and take this. Sorry. Sorry everyone.
Ann goes off.
Colin: I guess this is a good time to take a stretch before our last two matches. Alright everyone, it's intermission! Go and grab something at the food court, because you're not going to want to miss the last two matches of this round.
INT. BACKSTAGE - Moments later
Ann Lee's phone stops ringing.
Ann: Well. That was pointless.
The lights go off. The red smiley face glows in the dark, causing Ann to scream.
Child's Voice: Hello, Ann Lee.
The television is on in the room with the monitor of the ring. Ann had not noticed this before, but she sees Ash in the ring.
Ann: I'm late! How? I thought we were taking intermission.
Child's Voice: The producers have been informed that it is time to continue.
ARENA - Continuous
Colin is receiving word in his ear as he and Bianca sit back down.
Colin: Our...apologies for the confusion, folks, we've been informed that the intermission had to be halted and that we were to continue. Ash is standing in the ring and they're ready to announce the next match.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the Round Robin. Up first-
Ash is cut off by the power going off. This causes screams.
Bianca: Oh now what.
INT. BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS
Ann looks aghast at the monitor.
Ann: What...what have you done?
Child's Voice: He collects the blood. But there is no blood to collect and there is no one to share it with. He is incomplete. He is lost and directionless and so he is sad.
Ann: What. Have. You. Done.
Child's Voice: You are lost and powerless, Ann Lee. He can provide power and you can provide direction. Together no one is lost. Would you like to see the power you can direct?
ARENA - Continuous
Both Greg Arias and Dangerous Johnny Dagger are laid out in the ring as the lights go on.
Ash: After review, the referee has considered this match unable to continue and will be declared a draw! Both competitors will be awarded one point for tie.
INT. BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS
Ann Lee watches in horror.
Ann: Not Greg...he didn't deserve that.
Child's Voice: As a male, his sadness manifests as destructive anger. He needs someone to help him guide that anger. He needs someone to share the blood. I cannot be there in corporeal form but I entrust in you to guide him.
Ann: No. I want no part of this. Leave me out of your games.
Child's Voice: He needs to collect the blood, Ann.
Ann: No.
Child's Voice: HE NEEDS TO COLLECT THE BLOOD ANN.
Ann: NO!
Child's Voice: DO NOT RUN FROM YOUR DESTINY.
Ann runs out of the room and leaves the mall. She can be seen running to her car from a security camera.
INT. ARENA - CONTINUOUS
Colin and Bianca sit in the ring.
Colin: We've just received word that Ann Lee has gone home for the day. She sends her apologies that she will miss the last match.
Bianca: This has been an utterly chaotic event, Colin, and we're only two days in.
Colin: You're telling me. We only have one more match today, hopefully we can get through it with minimal shenanigans.
Bianca: Given who's in it, that might be a big ask.
Ash hasn't left the ring and they continue their announcements.
Ash: Our final contest is scheduled for one fall and will count towards points in the round robin. Out first, from Scunthorpe, England-
Ash is interrupted as trumpets blare and a red carpet comes down. The minstrel enters first, followed by flower bearers, and begins to sing to the tune of a madrigal and play his lute. As he does so, Landon Gentry walks in behind him, in full Redcoat Regalia.
Minstrel: O Come, O Come, Tell ye a Tale, of a Champion in the making/ the pain he will bring to the riff-raff in ring/ the win is his for the taking/ if you stand in his way the tax you will pay by way of pain beyond your worst fears/ So lay down for pin and give him the wind or you will leave here in tears.
Ash: Landon Gentry.
The Minstrel continues to strum his lute to the same tune. The flower bearers approach the ring and use their hands to create a stepstool on which Landon steps and enters the ring. He waves in the flower bearers who take off his robe to reveal a bare chest. He puts his fists up as if to engage in fisticuffs and donnybrooks. The next man comes out to pink lights with little projections of sprinkles to the ring, with a donut painted on his chest and offering donuts to people, to the song System of a Down "Sugar". This is Sprinkl.
Ash: And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing at 211 pounds, Sprinkl!
The bell rings.
Colin: Looks like the Minstrel got another lute.
Bianca: Looks like Landon wasn't too damaged by that lute shot. Yesterday for those who weren't here Jolly the Minstrel hit Landon with his lute, getting Greg Arias disqualified. Greg has had two bad days so far. I feel for the man.
Colin: I have to agree with you there. Hopefully some better luck comes the man's way. I'd hate to see him lose his smile.
Bianca: Speaking of smiling, Sprinkl seems blissfully unaware of what lies before him. But some benefit seems to be coming his way as Lily is sending the Minstrel to the back!
Colin: Landon arguing with the ref and Sprinkl rolls him up!
1!
2!
3!
Bianca: And another short and sweet match! The thing with these W2 events is you don't know how long or short it's going to be, and today moved much faster than yesterday for sure.
Ash: Here is your winner and awarded three points, Sprinkl!
Colin: And Landon is arguing with Lily and he looks ready to swing and Sprinkl clotheslines him over the ring! Sprinkl reaching into his trunks...he's...throwing tea bags at Landon Gentry! Oh, this is embarrassing folks. And Landon is thinking of swinging on him but thinks better of it and huffs off. That's all she wrote for today. I'm Colin McRae.
Bianca: And I'm Bianca Diaz. See you tomorrow for what promises to be escalating chaos as we undoubtedly deal with the fallout from today.
FADE TO BLACK.
