-MASTERY OF TAYBLES: Champion The Rock v. Korayashi
Rock takes Kora down, but Kora ties him up into a Sharpshooter! Won't help him too much in a Taybles match, though. Rock fires off some right hands after Kora lets him go, then staggers him with a gutbuster! Rock sets up for the Rock Bottom into a corner table....but Kora blocks it, and reverses it into a suplex t'rew it!
Winner and NEW Master of Taybles: Kora

-Falsetto from Eternal Sonata comes out to console Rock and praise him for his commitment to the people.

-Eaed bumps into Bison on the latter's way to the ring. Eaed won't forget Bison's actions, but he has bigger fish to fry right now. Bison is also willing to let Eaed go for now.

-Match: Panth v. Bison
Panth is NOT HAVING ANY CRAP TODAY. He hits all of his spots right out of the gate, and although Bison is able to battle back for a bit, Panth stays on him like a RABID DOG and locks in a sleeper! ....Bison's out!
Winner: Panth

-Bison wakes up and complains to the ref, but Panth runs him off!

-GRUDGE: Undertaker and davidponte v. Hardcore Champ Bowser and Ludwig von Koopa
The crowd is firmly behind the faces, but Bowser opens up with a big kneebuster on Taker, and tags out. .....Except Taker sure is selling that knee. Like a lot. Referee Sam Calhoun throws up the X!
NO CONTEST

-ECHO comes charging out, not particularly staying in character, and helps get Taker on a stretcher to be carried out of the arena.

The Undertaker would later announce on Twitter that he has taken medical advice to retire.

SHOW #37

-Joshua Bright welcomes us to the show, but he's in edgy mode and questions @MajinZidane 's ability to hack it in this company. Also, B8WL should fire Russo.

-Match: Boko v. Bryan
Boko turns some heads by going blow for blow with the former #1 Contender, but Bryan eventually gets the Yes Lock applied. Boko gets the ropes, but Bryan drags him back to the middle and reapplies it.....Boko hangs on.....but eventually taps!
Winner: Bryan

-Bryan admits that he lost some focus when going after Cena, but now he's back on the right track.

-Scare is watching old sitcoms backstage on Netflix with Sakura Sojirou, and almost misses his match!

-Match: Scare v. Flair
Flair takes the offensive early on, but Scare is able to no-sell a lot of it with his sheer size advantage. (I have no idea what Scare is like IRL but we rarely use the HEAVY attribute in this fed so for our purposes he's a super fat stereotypical nerd build >_>) Flair starts to put some momentum together, as Cena comes out to observe. Flair lands a brass knuckles shot! He hits a big elbow drop, but is starting to gas. Scare hits Days Like These, but fails to cover. A series of near falls ensues, with Scare narrowly missing The Strangest Thing....twice. Cena's interjecting himself some too, but Flair gets a low blow into the Figure Four, and holds on through a reversal sequence! Scare taps! WOOOOO ensues.
Winner: Flair

-The Randomaniacs are here to talk to Flair, even though he is busy elbow dropping the ring. Maniac has a box with him, but Flair spends some time whining about Cena's involvement in the match first. Flair beat Scare anyway because he's the best in the business! Eaed wants to get to the box. It's from Daniel Bryan, and addressed to Flair. It's....a shredded Flair robe! While Flair freaks out, Eaed also finds a letter and starts reading it. Bryan thinks Flair is too wrapped up in his own ego, like Bryan used to be! Bryan's turning over a new leaf and getting back in touch with the fans, and Flair should too! ...But Bryan knows he needs a reality check first, so he's getting in Flair's head. And indeed Flair is quite upset. ...He takes it out on the still semi-injured Eaed! Flair hits a sucker punch and some slight offense before slapping on the Figure Four! Maniac won't let that happen to his good friend! Maniac comes over....and scrapes his boot across Eaed's face! Maniac gets a dark look, and abandons Eaed....

-Eddv is backstage hyping up how bad MLMF are gonna wreck Mario and Strife....when they show up! They pummel Eddv all over the backstage area, with his stablemates stuck in the ring unable to help!

-Match: Mario and Strife v. MLMF (ECHO and Truth)
....Unfortunately, without Sonic to be the glue, the pairing of Mario and Strife just doesn't gel in actual matches. Even with a "hot" tag, the faces are unable to keep up their momentum against the well-oiled MLMF machine, and ECHO puts it away with the Spike Piledriver.
Winner: MLMF

-Peach bails on Mario....

-Zangief comments that there is a lot of chaos in B8WL tonight....but beards are forever. Rock doesn't even have hair at all- is he even a real man? He's certainly not a master of taybles, or a king.

Hardcore TV
Wk. 4, 4/96

We open with a quick-paced match in which Chavo puts away Yoshihiro Tajiri in fairly short order. (D) Alfonso comes out to complain about the treatment he received from the ECW locker room, and Scorpio comes running out! That was a mean trick Alfonso tried to play, and he got what he deserved! Alfonso thinks Scorpio needs to learn that he doesn't need to play fair. Douglas jumps Scorpio from behind! (C-)

The rest of the Network is getting ready for a tag match- up next, Jericho and Whipwreck take on the Hardyz. The heels are a bit off their game....the Hardyz get a big upset win! (D) Stevie confronts Dreamer backstage to ask him why he didn't help out when he had the chance? Dreamer looks abashed, but Windham breaks in to tell Stevie not to look up to the false idol of ECW! It is just a construct of man, and we should instead focus on the pursuit of righteous excellence! (C)

The face Dudleyz beat Bad Crew. (D-) Sabu is back from injury! He wants a crack at Mustapha Saed. (B-) Tag titles are on the line next as the Pitbulls defend against Big & Strong. It's just an ugly brawl, and the Pitbulls take out Bigelow on the outside for a countout win. (C+; Pitbull #1 suffers a Stubbed Toe) The Pitbulls are still in the ring...the STEINER BROTHERS come out! They are unimpressed with this tag division, and think they need to remind ECW who's boss! Some taunting ensues as the show goes off the air. (C; Scott's Egomaniac gets Average; Rick's Maniac gets Above Average)

Overall: C-, not enough babez

As far as I can tell all their games are based on a handful of attributes dudes can have (sometimes only part of the time) and different combinations of dice, charts, and cards direct you to check for those qualities and then stuff happens based on whether they pass the check

-Just kidding, Mario's here with Kermit the Frog. They have a nice little chat on the stage as Bison leaves the ring. Bison passes by without incident, but Kermit decides to call him out for beating up an injured opponent. Bison turns....and goes for the Psycho Crusher! Kermit ducks it at the last second, and an off-balance Bison tumbles down the ramp a bit before storming off embarrassed.

-Kyoji Kamiya is a man who can appreciate a good massacre, and that's why he's looking forward to seeing David try to fight Bowser!

-HARDCORE TITLE GRUDGE: Bowser (c) v. davidponte
This has been brewing since Bowser disrespected David 2 PPVs ago, and now there's gold on the line to boot! David has to fight through a bunch of the Koopa Klan to even get to the ring, so he has a better idea! He lures the whole gang backstage! He makes it look like he ducked into the women's restroom, and Bowser and his cronies get a whole lot of screaming and slapping for running in after him. Bowser wobbles...and falls on top of David, squishing him a bit. David's buddy (?) Taker shows up and cleans house on the Koopa Klan, with the ref trying to get them under control. David flees under the ring, not having learned his lesson from getting blown up by Bison, and Bowser sure enough just breathes a bunch of fire down there. David gets out in time and smacks Bowser with a chair. He grabs a kitchen sink too, but Bowser swats it away. David throws a monitor at him instead. Bowser takes it and just chucks David through the announce table! David gets up after a second, only to get laid out with a massive clothesline! Bowser's a bit too slow with the cover, and David kicks out. Fine, Bowser just hits a backbreaker....and then chains it into the Rack Attack! It's over!
Winner and STILL champ: Bowser

-Miz and Cueto go back and forth on the previous match- Cueto panning the interference and comedy bits while Miz puts it over as good hardcore action.

-Adol Christin from Ys is backstage training with Panthera. Adol is trying to learn The Pounce from Panth, since it's such a deadly maneuver! He picks it up quickly since he's used to charging at people already.

-B8WL CHAMPIONSHIP: John Cena (c) w/Scare v. Daniel Bryan
The big climax of their week-long feud! Cena powers out of a few basic holds, then reverses one into his Springboard Stunner! He stomps Bryan for good measure, then applies a dreaded HEADLOCK. A YES chant breaks out, oddly. Cena wraps up the rest hold with a forearm to the chin. Bryan escapes a double hammerlock and administers an elbow strike. Cena stumbles out to the floor, and while the ref is checking on him, Scare drags Bryan out too! Bryan kicks Scare, but Cena rolls Bryan back into the ring. Bryan can't see him! AA! 1....2....3!
Winner and STILL champ: Cena

-Miz thanks the fans for coming, and the whole B8WL roster for a great show! (was it?)

Show #36- CULTURE CLASH

-Cueto doesn't think Rock has the skills to hang on to the Mastery of Taybles. Rock is gonna prove him wrong and then do anatomically improbable things with the title and Cueto's body.

-MASTERY OF TAYBLES: Champion The Rock v. Korayashi v. Eddv
Kora gives Eddv a big chop, but Rock ducks when it's his turn and delivers a chop of his own, which Kora tanks. Eddv charges in with a table...but Rock catches the blow, and slams the table back over Eddv's head...breaking it!
WINNER: The Rock

-Rock and Kora jaw at each other- this doesn't seem over.

-Bang is having a dueling trumpets jam session with Louis Armstrong backstage in advance of her title match. You may say "But Tom, Bang has never shown any ability to play trumpet!" and...well, she still hasn't, but that hasn't stopped her from blaring away. She's having a blast and invites Satchmo to play her theme, but he gives a weak excuse and flees the scene as soon as he can.

-UCA Title: Champion Bangladesh DuPree v. The Undertaker
Match never gets started, as Bison waylays Taker on the entrance ramp, David comes out for the save, and we have a LOCKER ROOM CLEARING BRAWL break out. Even Louis Armstrong comes back out to help restore order, and helps Taker to the back once a double DQ is declared.
NO CONTEST

-Maniac is out to promo in advance of his match...when the suspiciously bulky and prominent cameraman levels him with the camera and kicks him a couple of times! He takes off his disguise, and it's Zangief!

-GRUDGE: King Maniac v. Zangief
Maniac fights back with a back rake as Zangief poses. Zangief goes for a headlock, but Maniac powers out with body blows. Maniac misses a tackle and hits the corner, but Zangief appears to have twisted his ankle dodging....except he was playing possum! Takedown on Maniac, then a toss into the ropes...but Maniac comes back with a Lunatic Lariat! Maniac hits a slam, but Gief is right back up with a series of strikes. Maniac gets into a brawl with him, but then slips him into a knee bar. Zangief escapes to the outside, where Maniac smacks him with a trash can. Maniac's getting into it, and tosses Zangief into the ring. Rollup! 1...2....3! Zangief had a foot on the ropes, but the ref missed it!
WINNER: Maniac

-Maniac gets to cut his promo now, where he mentions that he's looking for a few good knights, since Eaed is just one (hurt) man! He's got a plan though [ed. note: it remains to be seen whether he actually does or not, so this may get retconned :P]

-Eaed is still banged up from Zangief's (and Bowser's) attack on him last week, but Bison asked for this match a while back. Eaed walks down a bit gingerly...and Zangief gets him with a spinning lariat on the ramp! The man's already gonna fight hurt! Zangief tosses him into the ring and the bell sounds.

-GRUDGE MATCH: Eaedwards w/Time Cops v. M. Bison
Bison works Eaed over with some methodical stomps, as Eaed struggles to find his feet. The Time Cops eventually step in the ring to give him some breathing room. Match resumes, and Eaed hits a Sling Blade! Bison takes this a bit awkwardly, and now he's favoring his neck. But that doesn't stop him from getting up first and resuming his stomping assault. Devil Reverse! 1....2...3!
WINNER: Bison

-Bison is clearly considering a post-match beatdown, but decides that Eaed's had enough crap for today. And, here comes Mario to interview him!

...This match barely starts before Cena and Bryan start really getting into it and brawling! The partners fight on the outside, Rock comes out to help, MLMF show up....it's PANDEMONIUM IN THE ARENA as the ref calls for a double DQ and officials come out to separate everybody.
DOUBLE DQ

-Flair WOOs unhappily about never getting into that match.

-Match: Taker and Panth v. Bison and UCA Champ Bang
Faces take control early on, but Bang manages to cut in at a pivotal point, allowing Bison enough space to give her a much-needed tag. The match goes back and forth a few times....until Bang manages to submit Panth with a Cobra Clutch!
Winners: Bang and Bison

-Narm is backstage getting checked out by medics when Kora walks by on the way to the ring. She compliments his beard, saying that she just loves beards and wishes there were more big manly men like Zangief and Kora around. Kora evidently missed the part where Zangief attacked her and doesn't know Langrisser well enough to know that she wound up with a clean shaven dude, because he struts to the ring with a spring in his step as she rolls her eyes.

-MASTERY OF TAYBLES: Champion Korayashi v. The Rock
Kora! Kora! At last you're on your own! He fights out of a Rock sleeper hold, but while reversing it, he rams Rock into the ref! Kora has Rock in a hammerlock, but here come the MLMF! They surround the ring as the action grinds to a halt....then beat down their former member Kora! Rock has the good sense to stay out of this, then Rock Bottoms Kora through a tayble when the ref is awake enough to see it.
Winner and NEW Master of Taybles: Rock

-Rock helps Kora to his feet, but Kora storms off.

-HARDCORE TITLE: Bowser (c) v. King Maniac
Maniac gets the upper hand in the initial exchange of blows, but Bowser levels the field with a chair shot. Maniac's up quickly with a dropkick, but Bowser tanks it and hits Whirling Fortress. ArmBAR on Maniac....reversed into an armtwist! Some Goombas run in to break the hold. Maniac fights them, but Bowser gets him into a Hammerlock...and turns it into a buckle bomb! Rack Attack! 1....2....3!
Winner and STILL HC Champ: Bowser

-Bowser flaunts his title as we go off the air, but he's got David coming up at the PPV!

There's a 20th anniversary version of this game coming out! I have a limited window of time to decide if I wanna drop $99 for vastly upgraded components and slightly updated gameplay.

Alrighty the workaround means using Wifebolo's computer, which is a bit less ergonomic with the playing surface, shrug.
-I don't have the online revamp of the FttM bookmarked on this computer so we're back to the original FAC deck
-I found a kinda fun variant that adds a tiny bit of the strategy for the 2-player version back into the 1-player version so I'm trying that out.
None of that is likely to make an appreciable difference on your end so let's quit whining and get on with it!

Show #35

-Mario is here to host Dario Cueto...but Cueto thinks we've had enough of Mario rambling after last week, and sends him to the back! A frustrated Mario complies as Cueto takes over the segment and brings out....Woody, from the hit blockbuster Toy Story 4! Mario can't swing that! Cueto does a surprisingly standard hype interview for Toy Story 4, and Woody also slips in some B8WL pandering. Out comes BLACK MAGE! Final Fantasy is a bigger deal than Toy Story...hell, even 8-Bit Theater kicks its ass! Woody simply points out that Kingdom Hearts doesn't care about FF anymore, and BM hadokens a chunk of the audience before storming off.

-Goofy apparently tagged along with Woody, and is hanging out with @MajinZidane backstage. Boko almost forgot he had a match!

-Match: Boko v. Eddv
Both of these guys have been kinda hurting for momentum these past few weeks, but Eddv is the only one appearing to care about it in the early stages, as he muscles around the bigger Boko like a ragdoll. Boko eventually gets his head in the game and rallies back, cheered by Subaru Kujo from Sakura Wars. Jigsaw from CHIKARA is also in attendance, and appears to take umbrage to somebody supporting the fun-loving Boko over a more serious wrestler...and they get in a slapfight at ringside! Meanwhile, Eddv has taken control back and hit a piledriver. Shots Fired! 1.....2.....3!
Winner: Eddv

-While both men look like a bigger deal for inspiring the fight, Eddv loses a bit of thunder as the focus is on Miz trying to diffuse the situation post-match.

-Bowser tries to cut a promo, but we have to go to the ring for the next match, to his annoyance.

-Match: Eaed w/Time Cops v. Zangief
Gief lands a Spinning Lariat off the bat, followed by a big slam, but Eaed is able to dig deep and get right back into it. HEART~ will only get him so far against the big man, but Eaed also manages to get him with a possum play into a leglock. The Eaed rally begins in earnest from this point, and the Time Cops get involved as well. Narm from Langrisser (why yes that is in fact her name) mocks Zangief...and he goes over and puts her in a hammerlock out of frustration! Booooo! Zangief returns to the ring and exchanges boots to the head with Eaed...but Eaed's puts him down! 1.....2.....3!
Winner: Eaed

-Bowser storms out and lays Eaed out! He was probably going to stick the winner either way, we think, but Zangief is happy to hold Eaed for Bowser to vent his annoyance! Is Eaed even going to be able to make it to the PPV to face Bison? (Yes but now he's going to be fighting hurt)

(C) Not all of the fans were paying enough attention to know about the Fans Bring the Weapons match, but Cactus and Mustapha are crazy enough to make it work. Cactus gets the win after breaking a Tickle Me Elmo over Mustapha's head. (C+)

Stevie Richards faces Perry Saturn for a title shot, with New Meanie and Kronus in their respective corners. Saturn gets Stevie in a pinning predicament....but Meanie gets Stevie's foot on the rope! The ref is suspicious, but didn't see it. Kronus, Meanie, Saturn, and senior official Peewee Moore all argue for a while....and Saturn gets a Stevie Kick! 1....2.....3! (D+) Here comes William Alfonso. The referee's decision stands....but Alfonso saw Meanie interfere! New Meanie.....YOU ARE TERMINATED! (D+)

The Pitbulls roll through Big Dick and Dances With Dudley, retaining the titles with very little issue and very little crowd appreciation. (D) Taz and Chavo run back the TV Title match from last PPV, with a similar result of Taz winning a well-fought bout. (C-)

Alfonso is out first, dressed to compete(?) with Scorpio as advertised. Scorpio seems suspicious, but also heads to the ring. Alfonso challenged Scorpio to a match, and he makes good on his word...but he never said it would be a one on one match! Whipwreck and Jericho jump Scorpio from behind, as Alfonso announces gleefully that this is a tornado 3 on 1 handicap match! (D) Scorpio fights well, but three guys is a lot, even if one is a non-wrestler and the other two are upper midcard! Scorpio is in bad trouble as the heels start picking him apart....wait, here comes Cactus! He won earlier, so he's allowed to interfere! He spears Whipwreck through a table, taking them both out! Jericho and Alfonso start taking things a bit more seriously....here comes TAZ! Alfonso bolts through the crowd as Taz (legally) gives chase! Jericho is upset that he has been left alone, starts to throw a tantrum....and turns right into a Diss That Don't Miss! Scorpio gets the win! He needs help to get to the back, but ECW has gotten a big win today. (C-)

It's time to cool things down, or heat them up depending on your perspective. Heyman trots out Francine, Beulah, Missy Hyatt, and Woman in bikinis, because screw the Network. (C+) Dreamer and Windham are up against Big & Strong. (why yes, I did steal that name from Maniac) It's a gut check for the face(?) team, but the one thing Dreamer excels at is enduring punishment, so he and Windham are eventually able to rope a couple of dopes and get a big (& strong) win. (C-)

Heyman psyches up Stevie- The Network took a beating in that handicap match, so now all he needs to do is seize his destiny and beat Douglas fair and square! For himself! For his fired friends! For ECW! (C) It's a pretty good match. We're low on people able to interfere, so Douglas augments his abilities with shady tactics instead. Stevie displays a lot of heart, but this would be a tough fight for him even if Douglas was fighting clean. ....Here comes TOMMY DREAMER! And Windham! Dreamer storms down to the ring as Windham chases after. Windham....is telling Dreamer not to stick his nose into other people's business! ECW is just a brand, and it is idolatry to have loyalty to it! Dreamer considers....and backs down. Douglas and Richards have both been keeping an eye on the exchange, and the veteran reacts a bit quicker when it's resolved. Franchiser! 1....2....3! Douglas retains! (C-)

Overall: C- SUCCESS

-Eddv, having perhaps indulged in one too many shots and one too few squats, hypes Kora up until his mic gets cut off.

-Mastery of Taybles: Korayashi (c) v. Strife2
Kora tackles Strife to the outside, and Strife is stunned for a few seconds while Kora rolls back in. Kora tries to bar entry, but Strife just does the slamming-face-into-ropes thing. The wobbling Kora throws a wild right hand, but actually connects with it, as well as a few followup body blows. Kora gets a rope-assisted abdominal stretch going. Ref breaks it up....and Strife grabs Kora and FLINGS him over the top to the outside! Kora pulls Strife out by the ankles and does a leg lock for a few seconds. Kora releases the hold, both men up, Kora maneuvers behind Strife.... release suplex through a tayble!
Winner and STILL Master of Taybles: Kora

-Kora has proven himself! And Eddv, that was an embarrassment of a promo. He's tired of hanging around all these beard-less losers! Starting tonight, he's his OWN MAN!

-UCA Title: Undertaker (c) v. Bangladesh DuPree w/Bison
Taker has a particularly long entrance tonight, despite having to ride a tricycle to the ring. Bison is seen chatting with the ref while they wait. He no-sells a couple of shoulderblocks, and then hits Old School! He ain't gettin' paid by the hour, because he nearly ends the match with Hell's Gate. Bang gets to the ropes, refusing to be intimidated. She offers a test of strength, loses, and gets a double knee to the gut. Bang comes back with a crossbody, but Taker catches her....Last Ride! Cover attempt....Bison helps Bang reverse it! 1..2..3! Seems like a fast count, but it's over! Taker can't believe it!
Winner and NEW UCA Champion: Bangladesh DuPree

-Bang and Bison celebrate, and the ref gets a Last Ride.

Show #34

-Mario is here to interview Dario Cueto. Mario is upset at the firing of Sonic, and asks Cueto how he can condone the Exile gimmick, throwing away talent like Sonic and Kenshin just for losing a single match. Before Cueto can respond, Mario moves on to some of his corrupt decisions in the past, and keeps just pressing him for being a heel. Cueto eventually has enough, and slaps Mario and takes the mic by force! Sonic and all the other Exile challengers knew the risks and took them anyway. Only the strongest survive in his temple, so he doesn't need anybody who can't keep up! Mario should be worried about whether he's the next one gone.

-@MajinZidane reminds the fans that Zangief might be scary, but he got owned in his debut match. He's about to again! M. Bison shows up and warns Boko not to underestimate Street Fighter.

-Match: Boko v. Zangief
They brawl back and forth for a bit, as Maniac comes to ringside. Zangief wants Maniac again! Boko shrugs and tags Maniac in to finish the match for him. That's not a thing, but nobody really feels like telling any of these guys no. ((the dice really, really like mid-match replacements >_>)) Zangief has Maniac scouted a bit better, and holds his own this time around. Maniac rallies the fans behind him, but Zangief powers out of a mounted turnbuckle punch sequence, and hits a big elevated spinning powerbomb! Both men are down....Maniac roars defiantly, and goes for his Implant DDT...but Zangief throws him off into the ropes. Maniac rebounds and hits a lariat...and another....and the third time Zangief catches him with a spinebuster! 1....2....3!
Winner: Zangief

-Maniac seems upset. We probably haven't seen the last of this.

-Bryan and Flair complain about how the youngsters have no respect these days.

-Match: Eaed v. Flair
Flair rolls out all of his old tricks, although the Time Cops try to help even the playing field. Flair collides with the ref on an Irish Whip, and hits a low blow while the ref is recovering. Cover! 1....2....3!
Winner: Flair

-The Miz is unimpressed backstage with this display.

-Cena and friends express disbelief that they still have to deal with MLMF after all the times they've beaten them down.

-B8WL Champ Cena, Rock, and Scare v. MLMF (ECHO, Truth, Eddv)
Cena gets the STF on ECHO somehow right off the bell, but she ((?)) gets to the ropes. Rock gets the tag and cleans house. ECHO tries to stem the tide by choking Rock out, but Rock powers through with a big tag to Scare. ECHO finally manages to tag out though. Truth gets MLMF back in the match, but after a bit of back and forth with Scare, Cena gets the tag. Five moves of doom, 1, 2, 3, it's over. Eddv never got to wrestle :(
Winners: Cenation

-Cena and pals call out Cueto to find them some new, better opponents.

-Bang is glad David's back to active competition, so Bison can wipe him out again!

-Match: David v. Bison
Bison no-sells a bunch of offense, but then David switches approaches and goes for the legs. He takes Bison down, but Bison finds his feet and hits a wicked Scissors Kick. 1.....2....2.99! David digs deep and makes a "come on" gesture...then gets a Psycho Crusher for the actual finish. You gotta admire his heart, though.
Winner: Bison

-Bison says he's being held back because he's a little too violent for this so-called "temple of violence." He and Bang want real opportunities!

-Sandor Clegane gets an interview segment too! Just because he's so good with words, and not because I forgot to set something else up after scrapping the tag match I was gonna put him in with Penta. Anyway, he was supposed to talk to Macho Man, but he's not he- OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright's client is suing the B8WL for excessive burial, and will not be making further appearances tonight! Clegane wonders when Phoenix became a prosecutor, and makes fun of his hair for a bit, but leaves peacefully.

-MLMF regroup backstage. They lost that one, but there's no way that CPU (whose gimmick is also back to normal for one night only!) loses to Kenshin, who never did anything worthwhile in his B8WL career. Panth shows up to stick up for his frenemy- they had a buncha good matches and stuff! CPU scoffs and goes to the ring.

-Match: Kenshin v. CPU
CPU goes for a quick win with an armBAR, but gets kicked in the head. CPU is having a lot of trouble with Kenshin's speed, but manages to get a double knockdown off a headbutt. Kenshin has had enough of this, and hits Ryukansen and Ryushosen in quick succession, but CPU rolls out of the ring before any more of his spots can be hit. Kenshin chases CPU around ringside for a bit before just chucking a chair at him, hitting square in the back. Kenshin charges, but CPU blocks with the can, and Kenshin gets the worst of the exchange. Kenshin has taken a lot less punishment overall though, and is up first. He beats the count, brings CPU in the hard way, and gets the win with a moonsault.
Winner: Kenshin

-Kenshin digs out his sakabato and poses for a while for the appreciative crowd! He also brings out a diaper to throw in the trash can from earlier.

-Vince thinks that Miz has done solid work as co-GM in Vince's absence, and that's why he booked this match- so that KoopAWESOME could prove themselves as the premier tag team in B8WL history! Guess Miz is working heel tonight.

-Match: Mario and Sonic v. KoopAWESOME (Bowser and Miz)
Miz gets the upper hand on Mario after Bowser cuts in with his best approximation of a Mario Tornado. Mario and Sonic just aren't having it, though, and regain the advantage through a combination of fluid teamwork and sheer force of will. Miz gets isolated, and Mario finishes him with a top rope leg drop.
Winners: Mario and Sonic

-Strife applauds his buddies, but offers Bowser a nod of respect as well.

-Match: Strife v. Penta
Speaking of Strife, he will now get his showdown with his would-be mentor! Penta appears to a chorus of boos. Several friends of Sonic are still at ringside from celebrating his big farewell win, and among them is Princess Sally. Did you know Penta is a furry? Well, if he's not, he's just super into the vest and boots combo ....fair, because as soon as he spots her he just stops to gawk...and doesn't hear the opening bell....and takes a Black Hole Slam. 1.....2....3! Well no wonder Strife ditched that guy and he got himself rolled outta the fed.
Winner: Strife

-SBAllen comes out! Where does Princess Sally get off coming out here with no pants? That's a moddable offense, and it should be a DQable one too! Vince appears. He never liked Strife anyway (not PG enough) so sure what the hell! He awards Penta the decision! Booooo.

((....I don't think there are too many instant wins and non-finishes in this system, they just have an amazing tendency to pop up at the absolute dumbest times >_>))

((....also you try coming up with a better interpretation of "Penta insta-loses because hot girl, then Allen convinces Vince to overturn it <_<))
