A.B.: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second episode of Psycho Style Wrestling's Monday Night Madhouse! We come to you live from the Sunrays Stadium in the beautiful city of Lambanog! I'm Alf Balducci, the fiery Dominga Alvarez to my right, the insightful Aazif Shamoon to my left. Guys, I am excited!
Dominga: The one thing that would make this night better would be if I didn’t have to see that fedora-wearing cabrón at the start of the show.
A.B.: Amen to that.
Shamoon: Oh, come on. Just give him a chance.
The Bloodbath Champion, Roger Evans, stands with the title over his right shoulder and a microphone in his left hand.
Evans: So… I, like, got totally chewed out by Shabani for that "stunt" I pulled last week. So now, I’m going to be starting off tonight’s show.
Dominga: Great! With luck, maybe that title will go to someone who actually belongs here.
Evans: Alright, let’s do this!
Shamoon: You have to love his enthusiasm.
Dominga: Oh, barf!
Evans puts down the mic and takes off his hat, sunglasses, and shirt. He places his stuff in a corner and picks the mic back up.
Evans: Come on! I’m not allowed to leave the ring until someone fights me.
A.B.: Oh, por el amor de todo lo que es bueno en el mundo, someone please get out here.
The arena darkens and the titantron shows a ruined city. The lights start flashing white and out comes Hotaru Ishikawa, a big guy with a bad attitude.
Shamoon: Oh, not this guy!
Ishikawa bends over, dangling his upper body, then stands up straight, spreading his arms. The lights become yellow and strobe. He lifts a mic to his face and speaks.
Ishikawa: So you’re the one who put Ethan Stewart on his ass last week? You're the guy who replaced me in the cage match at Ascension and walked out with Crimson? You?
Evans (scratches head): Uh, I think so.
Ishikawa: There’s got to be some kind of mistake. You see, I thought I was coming out here for a fight. Instead, all I’m seeing is some pretty boy in a fedora and a Hawaiian shirt?
Evans: Do you want to fight for my title or not?
Ishikawa: Listen, Kid. You’re new here, so don’t pretend you call the shots.
Evans: Last I checked, neither do you. In fact, I don’t remember the last time you did anything relevant, like, anywhere. You’ve been floundering in the lower cards for the last two years.
Ishikawa frowns.
Evans: If I lose tonight, I’ve got my whole career ahead of me, but you? How long before you’re cut loose again?
Crowd: Oh!
Shamoon: I don’t hear any lies.
Ishikawa: You got one thing wrong, Champ. You don’t have your whole career ahead of you, because tonight will be your retirement match. It’ll be you vs me, in a table match!
Evans (frowns): Dude, total weaksauce, buuut you are the challenger. Let’s do it!
