The camera cuts to a well-furnished office somewhere in the arena. Eric Scorpio is sat behind a desk, arms behind his head, relaxing. All of a sudden, the door swings open, causing Scorpio to straighten up in his seat. In the doorway stands Steve Storme, a blank look across his face.

Storme: You wanted to see me?

Scorpio: Ah, yes. Come in.

Steve takes a seat and leans back into the chair casually, making himself at home.

Scorpio: So, Steve. For winning the “Rookie Superstar” match at the PPV, you’ve earned a little prize in the form of a title shot. But...

Storme: Let me guess, you’re giving it to someone else?

Scorpio: Excuse me?

Storme: Well I wouldn’t be surprised if you handed the shot to someone in your Apocalypse circle-jerk instead.

Scorpio: Don’t go putting ideas in my head.

 Scorpio: You’ll get your shot, Storme, but watch your damn mouth with me. I’M in charge now and I’ve got the man-power to end your little Anarchist movement whenever I feel like it. So you-

Storme: Yeah yeah. What’s the catch to this title shot?

Scorpio: Your title shot will be against... Atlas Adams, the Television Championship.

Scorpio leans back into his chair with a big smirk as Storme sighs.

Storme: Oh I get it now: you give me a title shot against my own team-mate, hoping it causes the Anarchists to implode, thus removing one of the few genuine threats to the Apocalypse. Smart.

Scorpio: You’ll get the match as soon as you’re out of the tournament – which should be pretty soon I imagine.

Storme: Don’t count on it.

Scorpio: We’re done, get out my office. Now.

Steve gets to his feet and makes his way towards the door, muttering profanity under his breath. Scorpio watches him leave with a grin, chuckling to himself.

"Death Valley Superstars" by the Murderdolls plays as the camera pans the Boardwalk Hall Arena.

Phoenix: Atlantic City, New Jersey, welcome to LPW INSANITY! My name is Blazing Phoenix and this is my partner the New Breed -

SoL: - The Hall of Famer!

Phoenix: You’re right, SoL, that was a heartfelt night last night when LPW hosted a private event for just the stars to honor you and your fellow legends.

SoL: Thank you, my friend and dear homie, it was a long time coming, I’ll tell you that.

Phoenix: Indeed it was. That being said, however, before we begin tonight’s big show, we can’t just leave the fans out of the loop, so here is some footage of a true icon of this business getting inducted into the LPW Hall of Fame. Check this out.



The scene cuts back to SoL who has a tear rolling down the side of his cheek.

SoL: That… that was beautiful.

Phoenix: Well, let’s also not forget that the one and only D. Hammond Samuels and the legendary White Falcon both joined you in the Hall of Fame last night.

SoL: D. Hamma Who? White Falc-who? Forget those two, man, it was the New Breed’s night alone. And you know it… bro.

Phoenix: I see you’re channeling your inner Long Islandian there. Well, you earned it indeed, New Breed, but we have an action packed night all set up for you tonight as the one and only Master of the Asylum Tournament kicks off tonight!

SoL: It’s still the New Breed’s night, but that is right, I guess - we have four big matches as 32 men – 32! – battle it out in four different eight-man tag matches.

Phoenix: That’s right, SoL. A hardcore match featuring the return of Bloodrose, a Steel cage match, a normal match, and a Cleansed by Fire match!

SoL: The hell? Bloodrose? What he back here for?

Phoenix: The Night Stalker himself attempting to make a comeback, that’s what. But before we get started with tonight’s action for those of you that missed the very first episode of the revived Vertigo, Seth Omega defeated Bobino in the main event in a convincing manner, and for the shocker - Bobino was fired from LPW.

SoL: He got fired? On Vertigo? That’s worse than getting AIDS!

Phoenix: It’s quite unfortunate, but those were the stipulations, and LPW wishes Bobino well in his future endeavors.

SoL: Hah, I see what you did there.

Phoenix: I know my stuff. Anyway, let’s not waste any more time, it’s time for the Master of the Asylum Tournament to begin!


Mike Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first match of the first round of the Master of the Asylum Tournament, and it is a hardcore eight-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first!

”Kick Some Ass” by Stroke 9 plays as the first team, led by Ultramarcus who comes out first.

Mike Announcer: The team of ULTRAMARCUS, ANDY SAVANA, CRIPSY, AND OZZY… CRERAAAR!!!

Phoenix: For those who are just tuning in, the entire first round of the Master of the Asylum Tournament is all eight-man tag team matches with randomly-drawn teams.

SoL: That’s definitely a recipe for chaos, if you ask me. I really don’t know what to expect.

Phoenix: Well, what do you think of this team right here? They’ve got two former champions in Ultramarcus and Andy Savana, and two solid up-and-comers in Cripsy and Ozzy Crerar!

SoL: Are you kidding me? Marcus and Savana were fluke champions, Cripsy is riding Styxx’s coattails, and this Ozzy character is just… I can’t even begin to describe him.

Phoenix: They’re all talents who can hold their own in the ring.

SoL: I know you like doing the diplomatic thing, BP… but one of these days you gotta stop lying to yourself.

”Mater Tenebrarum” by Theatres des Vampires comes out and the opposing team comes out, led by LPW legend Bloodrose.

Mike Announcer: And their opponents, the team of BLOODROSE, SEAN JENSEN, NIGEL VANDERBILT, AND MC… STEEL!!!

Phoenix: I’m guessing you like this team more?

SoL: …Oy vey. Hell, I’m not even Jewish and I had to say that. The only thing going for this team is Bloodrose, who is a decorated champion himself, but he a freak.

Phoenix: You’ve got Sean-

SoL: –who has hit a plateau in his development.

Phoenix: What about your former protégé Vanderbilt?

SoL: He decided he was better off running his mouth instead of winning, and look where he is now.

Phoenix: And MC Steel?

SoL: (pause) …Homie, let’s not even get into MC Steel.

The team reaches the ring and climbs in. Ultramarcus’s team is discussing who is starting, and eventually all of them stand behind the rope except for Cripsy. Meanwhile, MC Steel is convincing his teammates that he should start, and eventually they get behind the rope. The ref briefly checks on both men and then calls for the bell.

Phoenix: That’s the bell, and here we go, both men are circling each other now, and… what the?

As soon as the bell rings, Cripsy’s teammates jump down from the apron and start looking under the ring for weapons, which they start throwing into the ring.

Phoenix: Wow, what a brilliant strategy by Team Ultramarcus! It’s a hardcore match, and they’re providing their teammate with weapons!

SoL: Clever indeed, and look, the other team’s already following suit.

Steel’s teammates, as soon as they saw what their opponents were doing, quickly did the same thing. However, Cripsy’s team was faster in providing him with an arsenal.

Phoenix: While Steel is confused at what’s going on, Cripsy picks up a road sign and straight up SMASHES Steel’s head with it!

SoL: I like that visual.

Phoenix: Cripsy goes for the cover, looking to put this one away with barely a minute into our first match of the evening, the ref counts! One! Two! Th-no, only a two as Steel gets a shoulder up!

SoL: Wait, what’s that?

Phoenix: Steel’s teammate and fellow Prophecy of Violence member Sean just slid something into the ring towards him!

SoL: Oh no, I think I know what those are!

Phoenix: Steel gets them, and Cripsy doesn’t even see them… I can’t even see them properly from here…

SoL: Man, isn’t it obvious? They’re-

Phoenix: –Steel with a right hand to Cripsy’s jaw, and Cripsy falls down! He’s… he’s knocked out cold, I think!

SoL: They’re brass knucks, man!

Phoenix: Everyone sees that now! Steel goes for the cover! He’s gonna have it here if nobody stops him! The ref counts! One! Two! Thre- NO, OZZY WITH THE SAVE!

SoL: I’m sure nobody expected he’d be getting away with that.

Phoenix: Ozzy stomps on Steel and gets Cripsy up and tries to get him to their corner, there are no disqualifications here so he can do whatever he wants, Nigel and Sean try to go after him but Andy and Marcus are quick to meet them!

SoL: Wow, this is really getting crazy here! I never thought I’d see this match go like this!

Phoenix: Ozzy leans Cripsy’s body on the turnbuckle and gets back in as Bloodrose also gets in the ring, and this turns into a three-on-three brawl, which the ref is trying to break up!

SoL: That’s a little futile, there are hardly any rules in this match!

Phoenix: The ref manages to do his job anyway, and both teams go back to their respective corners. Andy Savana makes the blind tag on Cripsy’s unconscious body and he’s now the legal man!

SoL: That Andy Savana… I don’t need to remind everyone of this, but he’s crazy. And he can do a lot of damage in this kind of environment.

Phoenix: He’s already picked up a chair from the floor. Steel better tag out if he knows what’s good for him.

SoL: He’s only getting up right now… and Andy’s already batting up!

Phoenix: Andy’s raising that chair high! Turn around, Steel!

SoL: Batter up!

Phoenix: Andy’s gonna smash Steel’s head again… but Steel catches him with a kick to the gut!

SoL: Is he gonna bust him with the brass knucks again?

Phoenix: He’s winding up for the punch – but Andy raises the chair just in time! Steel punches the chair! Still damaging, but not enough for a KO blow!

SoL: Not to mention it backfired on Steel as well!

Phoenix: Steel makes his way back to the corner, looking to tag in his friend Sean… but Nigel suddenly makes the blind tag and he’s in there! Nigel grabs a lead pipe from the floor and charges!

SoL: These two have quite a storied rivalry, but I know better.

Phoenix: Nigel swings… and Andy deflects with the chair again! Both men get knocked back! But Nigel charges back at Andy, and Andy ducks! Nigel goes to their corner, and that’s not a good place for anyone else to be in right now!

SoL: Yeah, that’s right, strongarm that fool!

Phoenix: Ultramarcus and Ozzy grab a hold of him, and Andy drives the chair into Nigel’s torso! And Andy gives him a good whacking on the back!

SoL: A damn good whacking, might I add. That fool’s not going to get better doing his own thing, so you might as well beat him up while you still can. Take it from the New Breed.

Phoenix: Andy tags in Marcus now, and Marcus goes for the pin! One, two, thre- no, broken up by Sean! He almost had it there!

SoL: Damn, and I was hoping Nigel would take the fall. Useless cracka.

Phoenix: Marcus tries to go after Sean for interfering but Sean is too quick. Marcus goes back to working on Nigel and he just unloads on Nigel, not even bothering to pick up a weapon!

SoL: Yeah that’s right, do it thug style. Don’t even need no metal on you. Just give him a straight-up beating, that’s all he’s good for anyway.

Phoenix: I sense you have some unresolved issues with Nigel, New Breed.

SoL: Maybe just a little.

Phoenix: Marcus is setting him up now for the Canadian Destroyer… will he pull through?

SoL: Kill that sum’bitch!

Phoenix: Marcus goes for it… but no, Nigel counters it into a back body drop! He’s saved his skin!

SoL: Dammit!

Phoenix: Nigel makes his way toward his corner, looking for that hot tag, Marcus gets up quickly, can Nigel make it before Marcus gets him? Here we go… yes! Nigel tags Sean in, even though he was looking to tag Bloodrose!

SoL: …Strange.

Phoenix: Sean a house of fire right now, takes down Marcus, goes to their corner and takes down Ozzy and Andy, and turns around to turn his focus back on Marcus… Sean goes for the Malpractice – but Marcus pushes him away!

SoL: That fire quickly got put out like a ho in a balla’s bedroom.

Phoenix: Sean comes back with a dropkick to take down Marcus again, but Marcus quickly gets up – but this time Sean’s ready for him, he’s got no time to react – the Malpractice! Sean hits the cutter!

SoL: Oh no. This might be it, nobody in their corner’s around –

Phoenix: Sean covers! This might be over here! One! Two! Thre- no, Ozzy is in there to save the day again! Ozzy right on time!

SoL: How the- how’d he get up so quickly?

Phoenix: Ozzy slides back out and Sean is pissed – he wants to take the win here, so he covers again! One! Two! Thre- no, this time Marcus manages to kick out!

SoL: That’s just the right amount of time they needed!

Phoenix: Sean picks up Marcus and whips him back to their corner, and tags in Bloodrose! Bloodrose may put the finishing touches here!

SoL: Can’t say I like it, but I’m not surprised if he does.

Phoenix: Sean and Bloodrose double team Marcus with a tandem dropkick here, and Bloodrose goes for the cover! One! Two! Thre- no, Marcus kicks out again!

SoL: It’s gonna take a whole lot more to put Ultramarcus away here.

Phoenix: Bloodrose picks up Marcus again, kicks him in the gut, looking to set up here… he may be thinking of finally ending it! Marcus’s head between his legs now, looking to set up the Memento Mori powerbomb!

SoL: Head between the legs… that’s just so gay.

Phoenix: Bloodrose has him… and he flips! But wait, no! It’s another back body drop counter! Marcus stays in the game, and he uses his last remaining energy to tag in Ozzy, who is another house of fire!

SoL: I don’t like this guy’s name one bit. What kind of a name is Ozzy Crerar?

Phoenix: I have no idea, but that’s not important right now. Ozzy taking it to Bloodrose with a series of clotheslines, and a kick to the gut… and there’s the move he calls I Crush-a You Face! This should be over here!

SoL: Unless some other people interfere again…

Phoenix: Ozzy with the pin! One! Tw- no, not even a two! Sean didn’t even make it!

SoL: You can’t just destroy Bloodrose like that.

Phoenix: Andy slips something in the ring… I think it may be another pair of knuckles!

SoL: It more than likely is.

Phoenix: Ozzy slipping on the knucks… Bloodrose slowly getting up… he’s on his feet-

SoL: KABLAM, NIGGA!

Phoenix: Ozzy with one hook and down goes Bloodrose! This may be it! Ozzy covers, Sean, Nigel and Steel get in there to try to break up the pin but Marcus and Andy manage to take care of them! The ref counts! One! Two! Three! Team Marcus wins!

Announcer: And here are your winners, advancing to the next round… ULTRAMARCUS, ANDY SAVANA, CRIPSY, AND OZZY CRERAR!

Andy Savana, Ultramarcus, Cripsy & Ozzy Crerar (4.14 APS + 3.58 APS + 3.66 APS + 4.30 APS + 1.60 AVS = 17.28 total)
Sean Jensen, Nigel Vanderbilt, Bloodrose & MC Steel (3.88 APS + 3.82 APS + 3.60 APS + 3.72 APS + 1.40 AVS = 16.42 total)

Phoenix: What a match, and what a way to kick-start our tournament.

SoL: Definitely a solid way to kick things off… even though still totally weird.

Phoenix: Congratulations on Savana, Marcus, Crerar and Cripsy advancing to the next round, but will their luck continue, or will they stop there?

SoL: They’re not my favorites to win this thing, that’s for sure.

Phoenix: Who are your favorites, then?

SoL: Let’s see who advances first, then I’ll tell you.

Phoenix: Fair enough. Ladies and gentlemen, the first round of the Master of the Asylum continues after a few messages from our surely-angry sponsors.

The show returns to Eric Scorpio’s office as he is watching a recap of Pyromania 18.1, where Drew is being revealed as the man behind sending Tromboner Man away.

Scorpio: Drew Michaels is a lying, manipulative, vile and disgusting human being. That man has no heart and no conscience. Had he shown this side of him before, we may have become great acquaintances. Now? I must crush him and Pyromania.

The camera cuts to a close-up of Scorpio, fixated on the TV screen.

Scorpio: Pyromania has a decent line-up next week, but they have nothing on the Hallowed One’s plans for Insanity. Next week will be pure, unadulterated Insanity… Insanity: Gold. Every Insanity Championship will be up for grabs on that night.

Scorpio turns the TV off and swings his chair, now looking straight at another camera.

Scorpio: Since the Anarchists decided to bring Atlas Adams over to Insanity to help stack their “little” group, I’ve decided the Television Championship will go back to its original roots: that Championship must be defended on every single Insanity broadcast. It will be Atlas Adams taking on the man who was victorious at At All Costs, Nigel Vanderbilt. Hey Atlas, guess you should’ve stayed on Pyromania, eh? Nigel, maybe you should’ve treated your “slave” Andy Savana a little nicer now, shouldn’t you? Karma is a bitch. Heh.

Cut to another close-up.

Scorpio: Also, my brother, Ash Strife will defend his United States Championship and the best winning streak we’ve seen in LPW on Insanity when he takes on the man that just won’t die even if you’ve shot him with a silver bullet…or slipped roofies in his protein shake: Mass Chaos. This will be a competitive match no doubt about it. If Mass Chaos can muster up enough strength and courage, he just may have a chance at defeating this monster… may being the operative word. Best of luck, Chaos. You’ll need it!

Scorpio leans forward on his desk now.

Scorpio: Finally, we WILL have our main event that was supposed to happen at At All Costs, no questions asked! It will be no less than cYnical and Morpheus for the World Heavyweight Championship, as planned! These two men have been waiting weeks for this match, and you will all witness two legends leaving it all in the ring for the grandest prize of them all in this industry! I don’t care if these two maim and cripple each other, there will be a winner. Morpheus will have to refocus on keeping his most prized possession, while cYnical is looking to make history and become the only 3-Time World Heavyweight Champion.

Cut to extreme close-up.

Scorpio: Next week… Insanity will glimmer in gold.

Scorpio grins, and chuckles to himself.

Phoenix: Every championship will be on the line next show! This is our answer to Pyro’s Night of Champions, and it will be awesome!

SoL: We’re gonna be in for a wild night, and I’m expecting a couple of title changes here and there! Everybody should be stepping up their game!

Phoenix: That’s right, but we’ll have to wait until next week! We’ve got a tournament on our hands right now!

SoL: Yeah! Cage match time! Now I know these teams have been randomly drawn up, but Mass Chaos, Styxx, Ash Strife and Azreal all on one team? You better be ready to call 911, I can foresee a massacre coming up for their opponents.


Mike Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second match of the first round of the Master of the Asylum Tournament, and it is an escape-only steel cage match, held under tornado tag rules! Introducing first!

”Let Us Slay” by GWAR plays as the team led by Ash Strife emerges.

Announcer:  The team of ASH STRIFE, MASS CHAOS, STYXX, AND AZREAL!!!

The four men step through the curtain and climb into the ring as the cage lowers. The Ref takes both of Ash’s belts and climbs out of the ring.

SoL: Look at those. Three prime-time players. And Azreal.

Phoenix: Azreal could not ask for better teammates right here. All champions in their own right, past and present.

SoL: Not at all. Talk about being a freeloader.

Phoenix: He did get lucky.
”New Born” by Muse plays as the crowd cheers for the team led by Sheepster.

Mike Announcer: And their opponents, the team of SHEEPSTER, TREY SPRUANCE, KAISER KIDD, AND DANTE… ODIAH!!!

Out they come, lead by Sheepster. They look just as serious and confident as the other team as they strut to the ring. When they reach the ring, they hesitate a moment as the other team paces to and fro like pissed off, rabid lunatics. Eventually, Chaos gets his team to back off and let the other team get inside and for the pussy Mike to vacant the primacies before all hell is unleashed.

Eventually, the referee gets them to back off and give way long enough for the other team to enter and for Mike to get the hell out of dodge. No sooner as he passes through the door do the other members of the team enter. They go over to their side of the cage as the door is locked by a huge chain and a massive lock.

The eight men stare at each other from across the ring and it seems like things are about to get started. The bell rings and still, nobody moves. Everyone just glares and taunts the other wrestler across from them as everyone waits for someone to make the first move.

SoL: Oh, what the hell is this? Come on guys! I didn’t come here to watch you guys stand there and run your mouths like jackasses. Get in there and let the blood fly, goddamn!

In the ring nobody has made a move. This is the Texas Standoff, possibly one of the biggest in the history of the world. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sheepster grabs Spruance and sends him into Mass Chaos and as they collide runs over and hits a clothesline, taking Chaos out. With that, all hell breaks loose.

SoL: What the hell was that by Sheepster? Using poor Trey Spurance as a human lawn dart to catch Chaos off guard! That’s got to be a first.

Phoenix: Kaiser Kidd goes after Styxx…

SoL: Dumbest move ever if you ask me.

Phoenix: Kaiser goes for a running lariat, but Styxx catches him and hits an over-the-head release German right into the steel. Ash is going after Sheep while Donte Odiah goes for the cage! Looks like he’s trying to end this one early.

SoL: I would too, seeing as whose standing opposite him in that cage.

Phoenix: Azreal isn’t going to have it though. He’s climbing up after him. They’re battling in the corner with Donte half up the cage. Their exchanging blows…Azreal bounces Donte’s head off the metal mesh, hooks his head and arm in some sort of Million Dollar Sleeper combination...OH MAN!!!!...he just leapt of the cage with Donte in that strange hold! Did you see the way his body bounced off the mat!

SoL: Well you see, that’s why you don’t DARE climb a cage until at least your opponents have been so horribly beaten that they can’t stand. Going up this premature…well…he got what he deserved, which might very well be a broken neck.

Phoenix: Chaos and Sheep are battling in the corner. Sheep is doing a number over on Chaos and hits a bulldog on him. As he stands, Ash hits a huge big boot to the face, knocking him back down. Spruance behind Ash and goes for a German suplex, but Ash blocks it and flips him over his back to the mat in a sort of arm bar. This is madness!

Azreal is getting up while Donte rolls around the ring in agony. As he does, Kaiser comes over and hits a DDT. He gets up and goes after Chaos—hitting him with a shinning wizard to the face. Kaiser plays up to the crowd, but doesn’t see Styxx behind him. Styxx tapes him on the shoulder and as he turns around, he gets drilled with a stiff upper cut, which dazes him. Styxx scoops him up and hits a running power bomb into the steel cage!!!

SoL: Man, that Kaiser Kidd is retarded. What the hell was he thinking playing up to the fans in the ring during THIS sort of match.

Phoenix: He’s just green, that’s all.

SoL: Correction, Phoenix, he might be dead!

Phoenix: Well, no time to linger on that…things are continuing in this one. Styxx and Ash go over to Sheep and pick him up. Styxx locks on a standing Full Nelson as Ash lays in on him with some stiff shots to the body. Wait, Sheep just kicked Ash and used the momentum of that to send Styxx into the cage! Sheep breaks free and hits a running lariat on Ash and as Styxx comes after him, dodges the big boot and hits a fast spinning neck breaker on Styxx!

Sheep mounts Styxx and starts bouncing his head off the mat. Ash gets up and goes for a charge, but Spruance grabs his foot and trips him up. He goes down, allowing Sheep time to drag Styxx towards the cage and grind his flesh into the steel.

SoL: Look at this crap, Phoenix! Sheepster is supposed to be this really nice guy, with a heart of gold or something, but look at this low blow crap he’s pulling on Styxx.

Phoenix: Say what you want, but you should know more than anyone that in these situations you do what you’ve got to win. Here comes Chaos, he spears Sheep off of Styxx. Styxx is up and shoves Chaos out of the way.

SoL: Looks like Styxx is hungry for some chops!

Phoenix: Styxx lands in a few stiff kicks and then starts choking Sheepster. He’s picking up, slaps him in the face, and then hoists him up over his head and drops him nonchalantly behind him. Wait, here comes Kaiser off the ropes and tries to hit a cross body on Styxx, but Styxx catches him and tosses him to Azreal, who hits a Black Hole slam on him! That was some interesting team work there.

SoL: Kidd appears to have heart, but no brains. Never, EVER, go after Styxx with that Mexican wrestling, high-flying crap. You do that and you get treated like a rag doll.

Phoenix: Ash is going after Spurance in the corner. He’s hitting with closed fists and really working him over.

SoL: Yeah, he’s his rehab. Tough love.

Phoenix: Ash sets him up on the top turnbuckle, bounces his head off the cage for good measure, and is climbing up. Wait, here comes Sheep…he hits Ash with a stiff elbow to the back. He’s climbing up behind him now and wait…here comes Azreal and hits him. He stands between his legs and proceeds to powerbomb Sheep, while in turn Ash superplexes Trey!!!

SoL: That was okay. You know it looks good, but it’s better when I do it. Besides Kidd and Chaos are trading blows and Chaos goes for a double leg on Kidd who leaps over him.

Phoenix: Kidd drops an elbow on the back of Chaos and jumps back to his feet only to walk right into a lariat from Azreal. Azreal scoops Kidd up and Kidd reverses into a quick DDT. Kidd is up and catches Styxx off guard with a flying lariat but the former IHC is still on his feet. Styxx picks up Kidd for a suplex but Kidd reverses into a reverse DDT. Ash takes his attention from Trey and Kid drops him with a low blow!

SoL: That will slow anyone down, including a double champion.

Phoenix: Kidd looks around and all four men are down-ish, he hopes to use his speed and starts to climb up, but Chaos is up! He grabs Kidd and Drops him with a powerbomb from the side of the cage. Styxx is up, and Sheepster tackles him out of nowhere, he is all about getting his hands on Styxx while trey is up and using this chance to bring some boots to Ash Strife. Ash kicks Trey off and tackles him into the corner where he drops like a ton of bricks.

SoL: You know BP, the New Breed looks around and can’t help feel bad for the kid. One of his partners are down, the other two are incapacitated but at the same time he is showing a lot of heart and has the New Breed’s stamp of endorsement… for being on Pyro, he will never a the Next New Breed but the TRUE master of LPW won’t hold that against him.

Phoenix: How generous of you. Kaiser Kidd is getting to his feet slowly and a small Kidd chant is breaking out. Chaos gives him a node of respect-

SoL: OR he is signaling to Azreal look at the big man charge in as Chaos gives a quick kick to the gut.

Phoenix:Thunderous Bicycle kick by Azreal on Kaiser Kidd! Chaos is now climbing the cage he is up and over. Just a few more bars and we have a winning team!

Mike Announcer: And here are your winners, MASS CHAOS, STYXX, ASH STRIFE, AND AZREAL!!!

Mass Chaos, Styxx, Ash Strife & Azreal (3.88APS + 3.13 APS + 2.86 APS + 3.20 APS + 2.50 AVS = 15.56 total)
Sheepster, Trey Spruance, Kaiser Kidd & Donte Odiah (0.00 APS + 0.00 APS + 3.55 APS + 0.00 APS + 0.10 AVS = 3.65 total)

While Chaos is raising his hand in victory he looks towards the cage and Ash is still assaulting Trey Spruance. Chaos quickly climbs up the cage and gets back into the ring to save his Misfit Brother. He goes to pull Ash off of Trey, who in turn shoulder tackles the Man That Won’t Die in the gut to drive him off.

Phoenix: These two men are set to face off for the United States Championship next week on Insanity: Gold and it looks like Ash was using Trey as bait the entire time. The Cage is being raised as security separates these two men.

SoL: Well, if Chaos is able to overcome the titan of Ultraviolence he will become the second man in LPW history to become a Grand Slam Champion, an achievement that even the New Breed didn’t reach.

Phoenix: Did you just give Chaos credit?

SoL: Nah, bruh, the New Breed was too busy being the best World Champion and the best thing to grace an LPW ring to concern himself with the undercard or mid-card belts.

Phoenix: Sure. Insanity will be right back.

The scene cuts to backstage in the parking garage with magic pacing back and forth when a vehicle comes flying in his direction. Magic sees it coming at the last second and disappears in a cloud of smoke. The car continues to speed off out of the garage, as Magic becomes wide-eyed.

Magic: That… it can’t be!

Magic quickly finds his car and speeds after the car he just saw.

 

Phoenix: Welcome back to Insanity, ladies and gentlemen, and if you just tuned in, before the break Magic apparently left the building to chase after a car… perhaps the one that was responsible for running over Jude Maxwell.

SoL: Good riddance to him. I ain’t gon’ miss him.

Phoenix: The question I have right now is, what will Team Michaels do since Magic has left the arena?

SoL: I don’t really give a damn, but I’m sure our dear altar boy will be praying for another miracle. Though I think him and the big guy upstairs probably aren't on good terms after what he pulled with the Tromboner Man.

Phoenix: Don’t make this about God, SoL.

SoL: Whatever. I wonder what Drew's teammates are going to think about him? As the New Breed knows, you have to be able to trust your partners.

Phoenix: Can Michaels, and youngsters Xander Kross and Captain Crooked be able to defy the numbers game and defeat the team of Big B Brown, Daniel Pleasant, Steve Storme, and the returning Jeff Whitt?

SoL: I wonder what is Drew's emotional state after what happened at Pyromania? And though I dislike Blubber Brown, him and Steve Storme have been on a roll of late. You got three hungry youngsters and a returning Jeff Whitt, who finally decided to be himself and not nickname himself after an overrated U of F player, although he shoulda just named himself Son of SoL. Even though he’s white.

Phoenix: Excellent analysis, New Breed. Are you on steroids tonight or something?

SoL: Mental steroids, my friend. Anyway, they want to make a statement. And what better way than against Drew Michaels.

Phoenix: One has to wonder if this could be a long night for Drew and his team. Especially if you take into account the comments and general disappointment that many have expressed toward Drew over the revelation that he was responsible for offering Tromboner Man as a sacrificial lamb.


Mike Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the third match of the first round of the Master of the Asylum Tournament, and it is a normal eight-man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first!

“Dr. Feelgood” by Motley Crue blares on the PA as Big B Brown walks out of the curtain toward the stage, accompanied by his partners Steve Storme, Daniel Pleasant, and Jeff Whitt. All four men march toward the ring, Pleasant keeping a safe distance from his partners.

Announcer: The team of BIG B. BROWN, STEVE STORME, JEFF WHITT, and DANIEL… PLEASANT!!!

SoL: They may not be as proven yet, but this team has the potential to be dangerous. Only because they’re carried by Brown and Storme.

Phoenix: One current champion, one potential champion, and one former champion. Past, present and future all in one match.

SoL: But looking at who they’re up against… that means very little to me right now.

As all four men enter the ring, “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine blares on the PA as Drew Michaels comes out first for his team, receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd. Xander Kross and Captain Crooked follow Drew toward the ring, the team noticeably missing Magic.

Announcer: And their opponents, the team of DREW MICHAELS, XANDER KROSS, and CAPTAIN… CROOKED!!!

SoL: Luckily for them, though, this team is missing Magic! So it’s now a four-on-three handicap match!

Phoenix: Drew Michaels has never been one to back down, SoL.

SoL: Oh, I know. But that doesn’t make their chances any better.

Phoenix: Indeed.

The team gets in the ring and quickly makes a selection. Eventually the ref calls for the bell.

Phoenix: Big B Brown is starting off this match up, while Xander Kross seems to be stepping up to the plate, Drew conceding the chance to start to the young man. Brown goes for the lockup, but Kross ducks under and delivers a number of kicks to the legs of Brown. Brown lunges toward Kross again, who slips under and hits him with a number of forearm shots.

SoL: Even with his inexperience, Kross knows to use his speed as an advantage instead of going into a grappling contest with Big B Brown. He is not going to allow Brown to throw him around the ring.

Phoenix: Kross runs toward the ropes. Brown with a clothesline, Kross dodges and rebounds off the ropes. Running dropkick right to the chest of Brown, which sends him sprawling to the ground on one knee. Kross sees an opening and attempts the Trey Shot 2k4 Edition. Brown quickly grabs him and plants him with a Samoan Drop!

SoL: Got to give Brown credit for getting his bearings back. It was a good attempt by young Xander, but Brown got his head back in the game.

Phoenix: You're being nice to Brown for once?

SoL: I call it right down the middle, Phoenix. Something your biased self can't appreciate.

Phoenix: Kross gets up, but Brown is on him, hitting him with big forearm shots to the face. Brown with a hard Irish whip to the corner...Kross leapfrogs to the top rope! He comes down quickly with a dropkick to the chest of Brown, sending the big man down hard.

SoL: Great power, grace and elevation on that dropkick.

Phoenix: Brown is getting up slowly. Kross comes toward him and goes for a DDT. Brown with a big belly to belly suplex to counter. He quickly grabs Kross and takes him to his corner, tagging in Jeff Whitt.

Jeff Whitt enters the match and starts to hammer Kross with multiple elbow strikes. He runs toward the ropes going for a running lariat, but Kross dodges it. Whitt turns around and Kross counters with a snap overhead belly to belly suplex. Kross goes to his corner and reluctantly tags in Captain Crooked, ignoring Drew.

Phoenix: Kross tagged in Captain Crooked, reluctantly I might add, seeming to look past Drew Michaels.

SoL: When you build yourself up as a defender of people and do what he did to Tromboner Man, you lose a lot of respect from people. And Xander doesn't seem like the type to trust people easily like a lot of the sheep that fawn over Drew Michaels.

Phoenix: Crooked goes in and starts to stomp on the downed Whitt. He picks him up and pokes him right in the eyes. Crooked runs to the ropes and hits Whitt with a running knee to the gut. Crooked goes for a kick to the head, but Whitt ducks it! Whitt just knocked the hell out of Crooked with the Red Hand Case!

SoL: Man, he Ho slapped that pirate back to his time period or the theme restaurant that he works at!

Phoenix: Whitt picks up the Captain and grabs him into a cravate. Whitt starts hitting Crooked with knees to his exposed skull. Whitt is Doin' the Cockroach! And he hits the Cravate Suplex to finish the sequence. He drags Crooked and tags in Steve Storme.

SoL:Interesting seeing a former member of Anti-Venom tagging in a member of the Anarchists.

Whitt and Storme Irish whip Crooked to the ropes. Storme trips Crooked up with a drop toe hold, while Whitt puts him in a Camel clutch. Storme runs toward the ropes and hits him with dropkick to the exposed face of Crooked.

Phoenix: Good teamwork by Storme and Whitt.

SoL: Both men may not be on the “best of terms” but these two men know tag work and can work with anyone if put in the situation.

Phoenix: Storme picks Crooked up and hits him with a number of forearm shots. Crooked is trying to fight back! He hits Storme with a number of right hands! He goes for the big haymaker...Misses! Crooked turns around...Storme with a spike DDT, knocking Crooked for a loop!

SoL: Storme showing right now why he is on the rise in LPW. Took some punishment, but was able to get his man back down.

Phoenix: Storme picks Crooked up. Irish whips to the ropes, reversal by Crooked! Pleasant with a blind tag. Crooked goes for a lariat...Storme dodges and hits Crooked with a knee to the face. He goes for the cover, but the ref tells him to break it, as Daniel Pleasant is the legal man!

SoL: Storme just gave Pleasant a death stare as he climbs back into the corner.

Phoenix: Pleasant picks up Crooked and hits him with a number of rights. Irish whip by Pleasant...reversed by the Captain! Crooked with a dropkick to the knee of Pleasant. Crooked runs toward Pleasant and hits him with a good knee to the temple of Pleasant.

SoL: Captain Crunch is showing some heart.

Phoenix: Crunch...er, Crooked, picks up Pleasant and hits him with a number of right hands. Crooked goes for another haymaker, but Pleasant ducks! Pleasant shoves Crooked into the corner and starts to light him up with elbow strikes, sending Crooked down! Pleasant starts to rake his boot on the face of Crooked. Pleasant completes the Surgeons Dream with a running face wash boot to Crooked!

SoL: The constant tagging by Team Brown and the extra man has kept this match mostly one sided since Kross left the match.

Pleasant picks up Crooked and hits him with a number of chops to the chest. He goes to Irish whip Crooked to the corner, but Crooked reverses and hits a reverse STO out of nowhere. Crooked starts to crawl to his corner. He reaches Drew and tags him in. Drew jumps in and makes a beeline to a dazed Daniel Pleasant.

Phoenix: What a counter by Crooked! And he reaches his partners! Drew Michaels is in this match now! He rushes toward Pleasant with a number of right hands. Irish whip by Drew. Boot to the stomach of Pleasant. Drew steps back...running European Uppercut to Pleasant, knocking him down.

SoL: I can tell you one thing. When he gets in that ring, nothing else phases that man! I see him as one of the big cry baby hypocrites of the world, but the man is a talent and all heart.

Phoenix: Storme enters the ring, hitting Drew with right hands. He Irish whips Drew to the ropes! Storme goes for a back body drop, but Drew counters with the facebreaker to the knee. Storme is still up...not anymore after Drew hits him with a running European uppercut! OH! Drew just got clubbed in the back of the head by an elbow from Jeff Whitt, who Pleasant tagged in!

Whitt goes over to Brown and tags him in. Brown Irish whips Drew to the ropes and lifts him up in a bearhug. Jeff Whitt runs to the ropes hits Drew with the Red Hand Case. Brown lifts Drew up high and plants him with a spinebuster.

SoL: Interesting tag work between the former and Current LPW Hardcore Champions. Drew must be wondering where he is right now.

Phoenix: Brown picks up Drew and starts to hit him with heavy forearm shots. He picks him up and hits Drew with a big scoop slam.

SoL: Solid move. Nothing wrong with a good, old school move. Drew not in a good way against King Mabel's tag team partner.

Phoenix: I knew that was coming sooner or later. Back to the action, Brown tags in Storme, who starts to hammer away at Drew with right hands. He runs to the ropes and goes for a running roundhouse kick, but Drew Michaels ducks it...Big Dragon Suplex by Drew Michaels to Steve Storme. Both men are down!

SoL: Storme got dumped on his head. I don't care how much rest you get from tagging in. That type of move can knock you cold in an instant!

Both men crawl to their corners. Pleasant steals the tag and enters, but before he can reach his opponent, Drew makes the tag to Xander Kross. Kross jumps quickly into the ring and ducks under Pleasants clothesline attempt. Pleasant turns around, only to get dropkicked in the knee. Kross follows up with the Trey Shot 2K4, knocking Pleasant out for a loop.

Phoenix: Kross with a brutal shinning wizard to Daniel Pleasant. Kross goes for the cover! One...Two...Storme breaks up the pin attempt. Kross picks up Pleasant, showing ring savvy instead of going after Storme. He lifts him up in a fireman's carry. Kross maybe going for the In the Paint '75!

SoL: Kross is too close to his opponents corner. They might...they will blind tag in, as Storme tags in while Pleasant is on Kross' shoulders.

Phoenix: Kross turns around and meets a running enziguri from Storme. Both Kross and Pleasant drop to the ground. Storme drags Pleasant out of the ring and goes to work on Kross with a number of right hands. Storme kicks Kross in the gut. He looks to be going for End of Discord!

SoL: If Storme hits this, he might get the win, though I don't think young Mr. Kross is out of this yet.

Phoenix: Storme has Kross up...Kross flips out and Kross dropkicks Storme in the back of the head, sending Storme to the arena floor. Storme and Pleasant are getting up slowly at the same time...and Kross clears them both out with a cannonball senton dive to the outside.

SoL: Shades of my boy, Homicide. Kross just cleaned those two out!

Phoenix: Kross gets up and from the floor and starts to pump up the electric crowd! He doesn't see Jeff Whitt, who is on the apron! Whitt with a running knee strike to the temple of Kross from the apron. Now Drew Michaels and Big B Brown are in the ring. Brown goes after Drew with a clothsline. Drew dodges...and he lifts Big B Brown with a Backdrop Driver! What strength by “The Chosen One!”

SoL: Yes but the energy he exerted lifting Brown's big ass up is causing Drew to get up slowly. The man has soldiered on with all his injuries from his wars for LPW, and it continues to catch up with him.

Phoenix: Drew sees Brown slowly getting to his knees. But Jeff Whitt comes into the ring and cuts him off. Elbow to the back of Drew! Whitt hits Drew with the Dunwich Hour, sending Drew rolling in pain to the outside!

SoL: That is a manly move right there! Too bad he isn't paying enough attention to see Xander Kross lurking behind him. This doesn't bode well for the former Shockey.

Phoenix: Jeff Whitt turns around and Kross with a spin kick to the gut. Captain Crooked runs into the ring and kicks Brown in the head to keep him down. Kross climbs the ropes as Crooked grabs Whitt. Asai DDT by Crooked on Whitt. Kross is motioning to the crowd to get on there feet! R.O.T.Y by Xander Kross! What distance by the young man!

SoL: He got mad height and distance on that! This man could be the future...if he wasn't an arrogant punk!

As Kross turns around to do some more theatrics to the crowd Big B Brown has knocked down Captain Crooked with an elbow strike. Kross hears this and runs toward Brown looking for the Trey Shot on Brown. Brown sidesteps at the last moment, than clotheslines Kross out of the ring. Brown turns around, only to get a knee to the midsection by Captain Crooked.

Phoenix: Crooked trying to take control. Multiple kicks to the legs of Brown. Now an elbow to the head, causing Brown to lose focus. Crooked is going to the top!

SoL: If this crazy loon can hit something with impact, the short handed team might escape with the win.

Phoenix: Crooked is up top. And he is intercepted by Daniel Pleasant, who is holding on to his leg. He trips Crooked, who hangs crotched to the turnbuckles!

SoL: Hope his crunch berries are protected!

Phoenix: That was a terrible pun, SoL. Pleasant seems to be enjoying his handy work, going to the arena floor...Only for him to eat foot by Xander Kross, sending him sprawling into the crowd.

SoL: That boot was would make Test proud!

Phoenix: Brown goes to the second rope and dead lifts Crooked onto his shoulders. He has him up high. Second rope Big B Brown Bomb! Cover! Whitt and Storme keeping Drew and Kross at bay! One...Two...Three! This match is over!

Mike Announcer: The winner of the match and moving on to the next round, BIG B. BROWN, STEVE STORME, DANIEL PLEASANT, and JEFF WHITT!!!

Jeff Whitt, Big B Brown, Steve Storme & Daniel Pleasent (3.62 APS + 4.08 APS + 3.94 APS + 3.72 APS + 2.00 AVS = 17.36)
Magic, Xander Kross, Cpt Crooked & Drew Michaels (0.00 APS + 4.34 APS + 3.82 APS + 4.60 APS + 1.00 AVS = 13.76)

Phoenix: All seven men put it all on the line. Drew's team came so close and was very competitive, despite being a man down. One might wonder what would have happened if that car hadn't mysteriously showed up tonight to distract Magic.

SoL: Whoever it is, I thank him.

Phoenix: Of course you do. We’ll be right back.

 

Phoenix: Welcome back to Insanity, ladies and gentlemen, before the break you saw the third Master of the Asylum match, which Whitt, Big B. Brown, Storme and Daniel Pleasant won.

SoL: Thanks to an easily-distracted Magic.

Phoenix: Yes. Up next we’ve got-

”No More Sorrow” by Linkin Park suddenly hits as Eric Scorpio makes his way down to the ring. He steps into it and grabs a microphone from Mike Announcer. He looks around the arena with a sick smile on his face.

Phoenix: It’s Eric Scorpio!

SoL: Thanks, Captain Obvious!

Phoenix: The Insanity General Manager is out here to address some issues tonight, but what will they be?

SoL: How about you shut up and listen?

Scorpio: A lot of you are probably wondering why out of all people Kross made me the general manager. Well it is quite simple; He had no choice.

The crowd boos heavily.

Scorpio: You see for those that remember when I was beaten into a coma and then buried alive on national television, well you see, when you’re trapped in a box under six feet of dirt you have nothing to do but think. I wasn’t done with LPW yet, but why settle for a gold belt when I can achieve true power?

The crowd boos again.

Scorpio: So once my anonymous benefactor rescued me from the dirt, and after I got payback against my brother, you all thought I was gone. No, I was simply biding my time. And as soon as Kross took over, I knew the right moment had struck.

Scorpio laughs quietly.

Scorpio: Why do you think, shortly after he became the public CEO, that Little Red Riding Hood was told she would be removed as of Altered Reality? Simple, because with a help from an old friend in Christian G. Smitten, I hit Kross with a lawsuit that would have destroyed LPW as a whole.

Phoenix: What? He can’t be serious.

Scorpio: But I offered him a settlement that he, pardon the cliché, couldn’t refuse. You see, In exchange for Kross not losing every dollar he owned, as well as LPW,  I simply requested complete control over LPW Insanity. That’s right, I have all the power, as far as it comes to Insanity.

The crowd boos again.

Scorpio: Now what does that mean for all of you in the back? Well, I will have to agree with Drew Michaels this one time… Insanity is in ruin from the damage caused by both Stanman and Little Red. But instead of trying to fix a sinking ship, I will simply wipe the slate clean. Those that survive the apocalypse will truly belong to be here and will thrive in the new Insanity. Those that don’t… well, I guess Bobino won’t be so lonely in the unemployment line, then.

Scorpio laughs again, this time louder, as the crowd boos him. The crowd starts chanting “Bobino!”

Scorpio: You wish to call for your fallen hero? Bobino was nothing. Insanity, your TRUE God has spoken. I will cleanse you of your sins and make you stronger for it, and then we will take the fight to Pyromania to stop the tyranny of Drew Michaels once and for all. LPW, you have been warned.

Eric drops the microphone as his music plays and makes his way back through the curtains.

Phoenix: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen… if you’ve just tuned in, before the break Eric Scorpio explained his entire actions.

SoL: I am honestly amazed. I thought he died.

Phoenix: We all thought so as well, and now he’s put Pyro on notice. But we must continue on. Up next we have what might just be the most dangerous match in the history of this program: the Cleansed By Fire match. The only way to win is to throw your opponent over the top rope there by setting him on fire.

SoL: Ringside is about to turn into a giant flame broiler. This is as dangerous as it gets. Can’t we back away?

SoL notices Blazing Phoenix looking at him weirdly.

SoL: Phoenix why are you giving me the googly eye?

Phoenix: I am just wondering if the New Breed is wearing silk, or polyester tonight.

SoL: This is the finest silk from the finest silk maker in the world. The New Breed wearing polyester? Bitch, please.

Phoenix: Well, I was just wondering because you know one small flame from those gas jets when they are turned on, and… WOOOSH.

SoL looks nervous and gets on his iPhone.

Phoenix: Well, as the LPW crew sets up ringside for this match, we want to take you to an interview I conducted earlier this week with at our LPW Studios with LPW Hall of Famer Phantom Lord. Fresh from being discharged from the hospital after the war he had in the steel cage with X, rumors are running all over the wrestling internet that he might be hanging things up. I will tell you this much SoL, we’ve both known this man for a long time and I have never seen him broken and defeated like I did sitting across from him.

SoL: It’s a question a lot of wrestlers have to face in their career. Do I keep going, or do I hang the boots up? Both of us know plenty of vets who are way past their prime who still schlep out to Indy shows every weekend looking for a payday in the hopes that maybe they’ll get that call for one last run.

Phoenix: Well, I knew when my time was up, and I made the decision very easily. Do I want to be able to play with my grandchildren someday or do I want to be hunched over in a wheelchair? Anyway, here is the interview, please watch this.



The shot cuts back to the live crowd and to the announce table and we see Phoenix staring at SoL who is wearing a full fire suit and helmet

Phoenix: Ladies and gentlemen, we just saw Phantom Lord pour out his soul… and we come back, and SoL is dressed in a fire suit.

Voice slightly muffled from the helmet

SoL: Yo, I know how serious this match is. I’m not taking any chances if someone catches on fire and lands in my lap.

Phoenix: What? I can’t understand a damn word you just said.

SoL takes off the helmet and his head is covered in sweat

SoL: I said I’m not taking any chances tonight.

SoL motions to one of the PA’s at ringside

SoL: Make yourselves useful and get The New Breed a big ass bottle of water, Evian or Aquafina. I’m dying over here!

Suddenly the lights in the arena go out and flames start rising from around the ring


Phoenix: My God, what an ominous sight.

SoL: The temperature around ringside just jumped a good twenty degrees. It’s hot as it is with those lights above the ring. Now it’s literally an inferno.

A single spotlight comes on Mike Announcer who is in the ring for the introductions


Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Main Event of the evening, and it is the last match of the first round of the Master of the Asylum Tournament! This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is a Cleansed By Fire Match! The only way to win is to throw your opponent over the top rope through the fire and onto the floor. The remaining members of the team still in the ring will be the winners! Introducing first…

"You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" by The Offspring stars blaring on the pa system and Atlas Adams along with his teammates Zenith, Syanide, and X tailing behind make their way out to a huge chorus of boos.

Announcer:  The team of ZENITH, SYANIDE, ATLAS ADAMS, and… X!!!

Phoenix: An impressive group of men as they make their way into the ring as one side is shut off to allow them to get into the ring. But once everyone is that side will turn on and there will be four sides of fire.

SoL: This Master of the Asylum tournament has been sheer insanity tonight and now it’s going to go up another notch with this match. Who ever wins this massive 32 man tournament will have earned the hell out of it and this is only the first round.

Suddenly all the lights in the arena go out and a huge blast of pyro goes off from the stage as “Epic" by Faith No More comes on across the sound system.


Announcer: And their opponents, the team of DICK DYNAMO, JASON GRAVIS, JEFF WATSON, and… CYNICAL!!!

The four men slide into the ring and the lights come back on as the forth side of the ring is lit. X is outside of the ring and he plops his chair down in the isle as the referee calls for the bell.

Phoenix: What on earth is X doing? How can he compete if he’s outside of the ring?

SoL: Well, I guess going by the rules, he eliminated himself once the flames came on and he wasn’t inside the ring.

Phoenix: Wow… really?

SoL: You might think it’s dumb, but I say it’s smart. X didn’t get to where he is by being stupid. If you had a choice between sitting on a chair and wrestling in a ring surrounded by the fires of hell itself what would you choose?

Phoenix: But by eliminating himself from this match he’s eliminated himself from this tournament.

SoL: Well it’s a small price to pay for your life.

Phoenix: Well, Zenith and Atlas Adams are a little confused as CYnical and his team attack. Jason Gravis is going right after Syanide as he’s trying to hit him with some big haymakers and Syanide is up against the ropes all ready. Gravis comes running and he goes for a big boot and Syanide ducks out of the way and Gravis is crotched on the top rope.

SoL: Normally a bad place to be, but right now a REALLY bad place to be.

Phoenix: Gravis is stuck on that rope and Syanide comes running AND HE LEVELS HIM WITH THE ODE TO CHUCKLES KICK AND JASON GRAVIS FALLS THROUGH THE FIRE TO THE FLOOR!

Jason Gravis is out on the floor as his pants leg is on fire and LPW officials rush over with fire extinguishers and quickly put it out and dump water onto him.

Phoenix: Just like that one man has falling through the fire to the floor! This match is brutal!

SoL: What a horrible sight that was an we could have another seven people go through that fire before this match is over. Someone is going to seriously be hurt tonight!

Phoenix: Well right now X just exchanged a nod of approval to his fellow member of The Apocalypse. X, Ash Strife, Syanide, and Eric Scorpio might be the most dominant group in the history of wrestling and they haven’t even broken a sweat yet. Meanwhile CYnical and Zenith are in the corner and CYnical is trying to force Zenith over the top rope but Zenith is hanging on for dear life but Atlas Adams is over quickly to pull CYnical off and he spins him around and he nails him with a boot to the midsection and he quickly snaps off a DDT. Zenith and Atlas are now picking up CYnical and they are trying to dump him over the top rope.

Dick Dynamo and Jeff Watson quickly grab Zenith and Atlas from behind and they whip them into the ropes and connect with a pair of stereo back body drops which cause the flames to shoot up.

SoL: GOOD GOD ALL MIGHTY THE RING JUST EXPLODED!

Phoenix: It didn’t explode. It just was one of those WOOSH’es I was talking about. As Watson and Dynamo go to work on Zenith and Adams, in the corner Syanide has set his eyes onto CYnical. Syanide picks him up and he’s hammering away on him in the corner. Syanide is now trying to lift CYnical up over the ropes but Cyn rakes Syanide’s eyes and he nails him with a boot to the midsection. CYnical quickly sends him into the ropes and he connects with a big leaping leg lariat!

On the other side of the ring Dick Dynamo is hammering away on Atlas Adams and he sends him into the ropes and tries to fling him over the top rope but Atlas puts on the breaks and he tries to hip toss Dynamo over the top rope and Dick blocks it by hooking the ropes

SoL: Dick Dynamo is holding onto those ropes like it’s no tomorrow, and I don’t blame him one bit!

Phoenix: Atlas Adams had a good idea to put on the breaks and with the counter but Dynamo wisely hooked the ropes and Adams is hammering away on his back trying to get him to break his hold on the rope as he tries to dump him over!

SoL: We are a good ten feet away from the ring and it’s intensely hot. I can’t imagine how hot it must be for them being right next to those ropes with the flames just below them!

Phoenix: Adams is starting to gain an advantage as Dick is starting to go over but Dick saves himself with his free hand as he rakes the eyes of Atlas Adams and he quickly sends him into the ropes. Atlas goes for a clothesline but Dynamo ducks and Atlas comes back and Dynamo leaps and he has him going round and round with the Around-the-World Headscissors and Atlas lands on the ropes!

Dynamo gives a signal and he comes running and he swings through the middle rope and he nails Atlas Adams with a 619. Atlas stumbles forward and Dynamo quickly grabs him and he sends him flying over the ropes and through the fire and to the floor.

Phoenix: And Atlas Adams has been eliminated as the shirt he had on is on fire and now he’s being put out. CYnical and Syanide continue to be in a battle of the wills in the corner and Syanide is laying out the former world champion!

X gets up and he folds up his chair and he throws it into the ring and Syanide grabs it.

SoL: It looks like Syanide is looking to make a big statement in this match right now.

Phoenix: CYnical is getting back up and Syanide goes to hit him with the chair and CYnical ducks and the chair bounces off the ropes. Syanide comes running and CYnical pulls down the top rope and Syanide goes through the fire and to the floor and he is eliminated.

Syanide quickly is doused but he gets right back up and is fuming mad as CYnical taunts him to come back in but X and LPW security hold him back.

SoL: Can you believe that? He was almost going to go back through the fire to get at CYnical.

Phoenix: Well right now it’s not looking good for team Zenith as Zenith is backed up into a corner as CYnical, Dick Dynamo, and Jeff Watson stand across the ring. Zenith and Watson were going at it for a good portion of this match and Watson is telling Dynamo and Cyn to stand back and he’s telling Zenith to bring it and he does and Zenith nails Jeff with a right hand and Jeff fires back with one of his own and he nails him with a kick to the side and another and another.

Zenith is hurt as Jeff sends him into the ropes and he goes for a high kick but it’s ducked and Zenith spins around and he picks him up for a fireman’s carry and he goes to dump him over the top rope but CYnical and Dick Dynamo make the save

SoL: Well the sportsmanship didn’t last too long in this match.

Phoenix: cYnical nails Zenith with a right hand and Dynamo with the left and Jeff Watson spins him around and picks him up. He’s got him set up for The Cyclone Drop AND HE DOES IT OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ZENITH GOES THROUG H THE FIRE TO THE FLOOR AS THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL! IT’S OVER!

Announcer: The winners of the match, moving on to the next round, CYNICAL, DICK DYNAMO, JEFF WATSON, AND JASON GRAVIS!

Dick Dynamo, cYnical, Jason Gravis & Jeff Watson (3.86 aps + 4.16 aps + 0.00 aps + 3.90 aps + 1.30 avs = 13.22 total)[/B]
Zenith, X, Syanide & Atlas Adams (3.88 aps + 0.00 aps + 3.84 aps + 0.00 aps + 1.70 avs = 9.42 total)

Phoenix: My god what a match!

SoL: It’s a miracle that no one died in this match! This match is one of the most dangerous in all of wrestling and what we saw tonight proved that!

CYnical, Dick Dynamo, and Jeff Watson celebrate in the ring   

Phoenix: It was almost a clean sweep for the team, but Jason Gravis got taken out early!

SoL: Gravis has more heart then brains and he should have not competed tonight. But he wanted a piece of Syanide and he went right after him. But one mistake caused him to be the first victim of the barbeque tonight.

Phoenix: That was Round one of the Master of the Asylum, and it was completely brutal!

SoL: This tournament is crazy, but it’s sifting through who’s deserving and who’s not!

Phoenix: Can’t argue with that! And that’s all we have for you tonight, for my broadcast partner SoL, my name is Blazing Phoenix! Tune in next week for round two on INSANITY: GOLD! Good night!
