Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Matt Tastic makes his way out to an ovation from the audience. But he doesn't seem interested in any of the crowd's adulation. He wears a brooding scowl as he storms towards the ring.
Harrys: Introducing first, from Southwestern, Puerto Rico, "The Invincible" Matt Tastic!"
Cohen: "Invincible" my ass. Look at what happened to Matt last week. Someone with a mask takes him out, just like that.
Cohen: "I'd imagine that's the reason for the unhappy appearance. I'm not used to seeing Matt this...well, angry?"
Cohen: "Well, sure you are, Cat. He's an angry man. An angry, angry Cuban."
Connor: "He's from Puerto Rico, and somehow, that's the least problematic thing you just said."
Matt enters the ring, barely acknowledging the audience. He grabs for the microphone from Harrys, and screams into it.
Tastic: "Listen, I don't have much time for this bull-"
The microphone is cut off, as the crowd cheers on Matt Tastic. He hits the mic over and over, extremely angry. He screams so loud, that the entire arena can hear him.
Tastic: "Sound guy, turn back up my mic, dammit!"
The crowd cheers at this, as Tastic's microphone regains its volume.
Tastic: "Now, Eddie, Armando, I really don't care what you're calling yourself now. I'm going to beat the piss out of you necause its law. And Logan, you may be a tough new guy, but you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, compadre. But after I'm done with you, I have some unfinished business with someone who knows damn well who he is! So, we can play this one of two ways; either you can come down and I'll beat you before I take care of this tag match, or I'll beat this tag team on my own, and come hunt your ass down. The choice is yours, puta! Either way, I'm delivering a whole lot of kickassery tonight!"
The crowd goes nuts at the idea of this. Matt Tastic paces the ring as he awaits someone to come out to the ring.

The crowd seems a little let down, as they see Ramparte walk to the ring, microphone in hand.
Ramparte: "Wait, Matt, wait."
The music stops as Ramparte makes his way down to the ring.
Ramparte: "Matt, I know you're upset, and I can see why. You've got every right to be mad, but you're also picking a fight with three men. You're picking a fight with someone you don't even know, and a pair of men who want to bring back Mayhem rules."
Matt Tastic: "Yeah, pretty much. And I don't mind adding a fourth, if you have any plans of stopping me."
Ramparte: "Matt, just calm down. I'm not about to stop you. I've not always seen eye to eye with you. But I can say, I've always been upfront in who I am. I wouldn't attack someone behind their back; if I was to attack you, I'd do it to your face. So, if you find yourself needing help with this...scavenging coward...I'll be more than happy to have your back."
Ramparte makes it into the ring, and offers a handshake to Matt Tastic. Matt Tastic sizes up Ramparte, cautiously observing his hand.
Matt Tastic: "Tonight, I'm going to beat three men within an inch of their life. If you want to sit back and watch, you're more than welcome to it."

The crowd boos at this, as Eddie, Logan, and Brittany make their way to the ring. Logan has a microphone in his hand.
Logan: "Ok, ok, ladies. That's enough, from both of you. Look, I'm just like Ramparte over there; if I'm going to attack you, I'm going to do it to your face. And boys, that's exactly what we're going to do tonight. We're going to attack you, and we're going to beat you to a pulp. Whoever that masked man, he can take the scraps."
Logan and Eddie motor to the ring, sliding under the ropes and rushing after Ramparte and Tastic. Harrys barely has time to make it out of the ring, as Logan tosses clubbing blows to Ramparte. On the other side of the ring, Matt Tastic kicks in the stomach, and punches him in the face. The match has already devolved into a brawl, as James Aubrey calls for the bell.
*Ding, Ding, Ding*
Logan has taken control of Ramparte in the corner, throwing knees into the stomach. On the other side of the ring, Matt Tastic is wildly punching at Eddie Romero, who tries to block the blows.
Connor: "And already, we have a mess in the ring. These men are out to cause mayhem tonight!"
Cohen: "Ref better restore some order, and fast!"
Aubrey tries to restore order in the match, and pulls on Logan's shoulders. On the other side of the ring, Armando throws kicks to back away Matt Tastic. But all this manages to do is give Matt Tastic enough space to connect with a vicious clothesline. The clothesline sends Eddie out to the floor. As he turns around, he notices Logan setting Ramparte up for a muscle buster. He flies halfway across the ring, to save his partner from what would be a hellacious slam. He hits Logan in the back
Connor: "And already, we have a mess in the ring. These men are out to cause mayhem tonight!"
Cohen: "Ref better restore some order, and fast!"
Aubrey tries to restore order in the match, and pulls on Logan's shoulders. On the other side of the ring, Armando throws kicks to back away Matt Tastic. But all this manages to do is give Matt Tastic enough space to connect with a vicious clothesline. The clothesline sends Eddie out to the floor. As he turns around, he notices Logan setting Ramparte up for a muscle buster. He flies halfway across the ring, to save his partner from what would be a hellacious slam. He hits Logan in the back, which causes him to let go of Ramparte. Logan turns to Matt, who wildly swings at him. Ramparte takes this time to clear up his senses, and comes off the second rope with a double axe handle. This brings Logan down to a knee, as Matt and Ramparte make eye contact. Tastic's eyebrows arch a little, as Ramparte offers a handshake. Matt considers this once more, and this time shakes hands. The two bounce off the ropes together, and hit a tremendous double clothesline on Logan.
Connor: "and just like that, this looks a well-synched team!"
Cohen: "I'm willing to bet this won't last long."
The two men gang up to attack Logan McAllistair, but Logan pushes the two back. Matt and Ramparte roll up to one knee, and Logan gives a gigantic roar. Eddie Romero has made it back up to the apron, as Aubrey takes this time to restore order in the match. He orders for one man to get into the corner, and pick a legal man. Ramparte and Tastic look at each other, and Ramparte decides to cede way to Matt Tastic. Matt makes it up to his feet, and sees that he has to mix it up with Logan. The two circle each other, with Matt bouncing off the ropes. Just as he reaches Logan, he slides underneath him, using his speed to his advantage. Logan turns around to a knee to the gut, followed by a hurricanrana. Matt cradles one leg, as Aubrey goes down for the count.
One, just one!
Barely one at that, as Logan kicks out with an authority. But as he makes it to his knees, he's met with roundhouse kicks to the chest. Matt Tastic hits two of them, as the slap of boot on flesh resonates in the arena. Again, he bounces off the ropes, and delivers a spinning wheel kick on Mr. Mayhem. He goes for a quick cover.
1...2, just two!
Logan kicks out at barely two. He makes it back to his feet, as Matt now comes after him with a lariat neckbreaker. Tastic falls the big man once more, as the crowd goes wild!
Connor: "Matt is using his speed to get the better of Logan."
Cohen: "I can't wait for Logan to just go ahead and squash this cucaracha."
Matt goes to lift his opponent by the head. But as he does so, Logan rakes him in the eyes. The crowd boos at Logan's cheap tactics, but Logan seems ambivalent about their demeanor. He takes this time to cynch a lock in on Matt Tastic, and flings him into the air with a T-Bone Suplex! Matt's neck and back hit the mat with a thud, an already weakened back due to spinal surgery. Logan soaks up the boos of the audience, and taunts them as he lifts up Matt. He twists Tastic around, and hits a thunderous release German Suplex on the Super Saiyan of Pro Wrestling. Logan glides over for a cover, leaning on Matt nonchalantly.
1...2... just two!
Cohen: "All Logan has to do is attack the back area. Matt can only take so much damage to the neck and spine."
Connor: "This is your typical speed versus power match. And sometimes, power can be more overwhelming."
Logan looks to his partner, who is beckoning for a tag. He drags Matt over to his team's side of the ring, and tags in Eddie. He then slides outside of the ring, and drags Matt's leg to the ringpost. Logan applies a ringpost figure four, which Aubrey counts to four for him to break.
1...2...3...- as Aubrey counts, Armando has been climbing to the second rope. He hits an elbow drop from the second rope, as Logan releases the hold. Matt writhes in pain, as the referee admonishes Romero. He starts to stomp on Matt Tastic, taunting him as he goes. He allows for Tastic to get to his knees, taunting him to reach for his partner. He scuffs his shoe at Matt Tastic's face, which seems to incite a rage in Matt Tastic. He looks up, seeming as though what has just happened is unfathomable. Matt Tastic realizes that he is being mocked by Eddie Romero...and tackles him to the mat, throwing wild punches while mounted on the former Mayhem champion. Relentlessly, Matt pounds away at Eddie. Aubrey does his best to pull Matt off of Eddie, but to no avail. Matt's face is beat red, and the rage of the Super Saiyan has overtaken the Grand Slam Champion. He screams out to the heavens, as Aubrey finally pulls Tastic away. Tastic is forced back to his own corner, where Ramparte, seemingly not content to watching, tags himself in. Immediately, Matt turns to swing at his partner. He pulls Ramparte in close, grabbing at his neck, and almost throttling him. Ramparte's face is nearly as red as Matt Tastic's, but the two recognize a common enemy. Logan has entered the ring, and is rushing at both men. He hits an avalanche in the corner, which dazes both men. Eddie gains his bearings, and orders Logan back to the corner. Logan looks on, puzzled by Eddie's request. Eddie asserts that he's got this, and demands Logan return to the corner. Logan's questioning look has now turned to anger; he holds his arms up in the air, and can be heard screaming,
"I'm your partner; I'm helping you!" Eddie and Logan go chest to chest, in what seems like a very heated argument.
Connor: "It...it looks like there's a lot of tension between Eddie and Logan that's brewing up."
Cohen: "Ah, damn it. Is it really so much to ask for a tag team where the partners like each other?!"
Brittany is now on the apron, trying to call attention to her men. Now, all three seem to be in a heated dispute. As they bicker, James Aubrey takes this time to try and get Brittany off the apron. Ramparte and Matt Tastic look to one another, and give a knowing look. Matt sides out of the ring, to grab a cup of soda from ringside. A fan offers their drink happily, and Matt Tastic guzzles it. He rolls back into the ring, where all three seem embroiled in a heated, heated argument. Finally, Logan throws his hands in the air.
"Fine. I'll go back to the corner. How about that?! I'll just stay in the god damned corner!" Logan walks back, while Eddie is still jawing with him. Logan's back is completely turned to his partner. Brittany, however, is not willing to let the matter die. She and Eddie argue, with James Aubrey still ordering her off the ring apron. Eddie finally walks away from Brittany, but Aubrey finally gives the ultimatum to Brittany to either get off the apron, or get her team disqualified. But as Eddie turns around, he walks right into a combo spit from Matt Tastic and Ramparte! Ramparte spits his black mist right into the face of Eddie, while Matt spews the entire cup of coke on him. Eddie is blinded, and holds his eyes in agony. Brittany jumps down from the apron, but the second she does, she sees what has happened. Logan looks on, and a crook of a smile forms on his face. Matt then superkicks Eddie right in the face, which turns him right over to Ramparte. Ramparte kicks Eddie hin the stomach, and sets him up for the Denouement! He connects with authority, as Matt Tastic lunges after Logan, to keep him from breaking up the oncoming pinfall. Ramparte covers, and Aubrey counts.
1...2....3!!!!!
Aubrey calls for the bell, as Brittany shrieks from the ringside area. Matt slides back into the ring to celebrate with Ramparte. Meanwhile, Logan walks towards Brittany, and takes her hand. They watch at ringside. They don't leave Eddie; they simply wait for him to roll out of the ring.
Harrys: The winners of this match, Ramparte and Matt Tastic!
Matt goes to the second rope to salute the crowd, as Ramparte gets his hand raised. Outside of the ring, Logan browbeats a downed Eddie, as Brittany looks on. After the match Matt rolls out of the ring as his opponents are cleared out. Matt grabs a microfone as Ramparte sits catching his breath.
Matt: That was a nice warm up. Now I'm gonna repeat my point. Mr. Masked Man, I used to also wear a mask. I used to seemingly hide my face behind one. But you know what? Everyone knew who I was. Mask or not, who I was was undeniable. I didn't use it to attack people without them knowing it was me. I didn't use it to hide and play mind games. Come on, you little b*tch. Why don't you come here face to face and identify yourself?
Ramparte gets to his feet and stands behind Matt. He places his hand on Matt's shoulder as the two wait for the man. But suddenly Ramparte pulls Matt and hits a massive Clothesline on him!! The lights suddenly go dark!!
Connor: What the hell?! What's going on!!?!
They come back on and the masked man is in the ring standing over the knocked over Matt. Ramparte steps all over Matt and curbstomps his head to the canvas before taking Matt's mic and taking off the mask he just put on.
Ramparte: It was always my plan to come straight, Matt. I just wanted to catch you off guard because it's what you deserved. You have no idea what I've gone through and after wondering for months who's fault it was, now I know. It's you. It's because of you it's all gone! Flex! Eve! Cerberus! It was all your doing. It was you taking our Tag Team Championships in jealousy that made Cerberus crumble. It's your fault Flex and Eve are gone. It took me so long to realize it. But Dr. Zeus showed me the way.
Connor: Oh no. Another one brainwashed by that psycho.
Ramparte:
At Apocalypse, I challenge you. Accept and pay for your sins. Hail Ramparte!
Ramparte drops the mic and kicks Matt again as the referee comes to help him out. As that goes on, we go to the broadcast table.
Connor: My God. Ramparte blames Matt Tastic for the end of Cerberus. Now it seems they'll be facing off at Apocalypse.
Cohen: Well, it's better than nothing I suppose. Ramparte wants vindication and he's getting it one way or the other as we just saw. And he's not the only one as Garth Black will be challenging Eve Taylor for the Elite Openweight Championship.
Connor: Speaking of Championship challenges, SHIT and Titus Avison are on a collision course for the Eurasian Championship. SHIT trashed Titus' locker room, the disgruntled actor has made it his mission to get rid of the robot but on what condition will he be after the attack from John Doe on Meltdown?
Cohen: Speaking of John Doe, he has no partner. And he'll have to defend without Fallout who is gone from WZCW. With Dr. Zeus and Ramparte they can fight the Phantoms of Chaos but alone?
Connor: Speaking of alone, that's the way another former member of Cerberus seems to be feeling. Not rewards for his success, he's issued a big challenge. Flex Mussel has challenged SHOWTIME!
Cohen: Brave young man trying to make a statement. That happens to be the same thing Noah Ryder and Veejay are trying to do. Both men have had brushes with Titus but ended up brushing up against each other. It's a battle to prove themselves as the King For A Day Noah Ryder faces Veejay.
Connor: We have a war going on between Mikey Stormrage and Constantine. They've constructed their own teams to go into battle to see who will win and walk out with enormous contendership prizes in the Brawl To End It All.
Cohen: And finally. The big one. In Kingdom Come they had the longest singles match in history. Last Man Standing it was then. But this time it's inside the deadly Hell In A Cell. World Heavyweight Championship. Theron Daggershield vs Dr. Zeus.
Connor: All that plus some pre-show matches soon to be announced. All that coming your way at WZCW Apocalypse 2016. Call your local provider.
