Psycho Extras - Movie Magic

In the heart of Sambuca City, in the Vodka region of the Volmun Isles, Paul Grizzly, the Holder of Dominion, steps out of Constantine Medical, still holding the phone. Except... this is not Constantine Medical, nor is he in Sambuca City. It is the neighbouring Sambuca Town, and the building he just stepped out of is an incomplete model of the real thing. 

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Contingency

An O.R.D.R.L.I. feed appears on the two big screens, showing Vito Montani, Jeffrey Campbell and Palesa Jeyi. The former is pacing.

Campbell: Vito, calm down, mate. 

Montani (grabs Campbell's shirt): CALM DOWN?!

Campbell: Grizzly's not a bloody idiot; he's just chancing his arm. He's bluffing!

Cyrus Reed returns to gorilla with a phone in hand. Grizzly lets go of Campbell and snatches it. 

Montani (dialling and putting the phone on speaker): Tony! Tony, I need ya to get Cody and his mom-

Grizzly (voice): Tony can't come to the phone right now.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Cornered

David Bekker: Ladies and gentlemen, representing the Streetwise Krew, please welcome... VITO MOOOONTANIII!!!

The Newark native, shirtless and shredded, strolls down the ramp.

SDS: What's that in his hands?

DS: Hopefully, a written apology, a letter of resignation AND a statement of guilt.

Montani enters the ring and gestures for Bekker to hand over his microphone. The announcer obeys and scrambles out of the ring as quickly as his pudgy form allows.

Montani: MANILA! 

The crowd pops and the name drop.

Montani: How ya doin'? 

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Cop

The Wallace's theme continues blasting through the speaker as they step through the curtain into gorilla. They are greeted by the loud, one-man applause of the General Manager, Jeffery Campbell. A PA shows up with water bottles and towels.

Campbell (holds up hands): Gents... thank you! From the bloody bottom of me heart, thanks a heap! After all the flamin' crap I've put up with tonight, it was a ripper to have some good, clean WRESTLIN'!

Axel (wiping his face): Well, about as clean as you could get with the witch lady and her golems around.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - The Battalion Bros vs Team Wallace

SDS: From Tecton to Tag Teams, here's David Bekker!

David Bekker: The following is a No. 1 contender's Tag Team Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! The winner of the match will challenge for the titles in next week's End of January Special!

The crowd pops.

Pyro shoots up from the stage, screeching loudly before falling back down and exploding, followed by a grungy rock track playing. Two men draped in camo walk out. A well-built Caucasian with a bandana and a ginger beard, and a shorter, leaner, brown-skinned luchador with a camo mask and blonde mohawk.

They walk down together, slapping hands with fans on either side.

David Bekker: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 196 kilos, Major Mallory, El Soldado, the Battalion Bros!

DS: This is ridiculous, Darryl! These two fools got beat by Tom and Dick on episode 1! Why do they get a title shot?

SDS: Well, as it turns out, this was meant to be a Triple Threat Tag Team Match. However, Tom, Dick & Harry got destroyed when they went looking for a fight with the Madness on Monday, so they were taken out.

DS: That's not fair!

SDS: Maybe they should have gotten their priorities straight. Besides, Mallory and Soldado got the bounce-back win last week against the Wild Thornes. They've earned this opportunity.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Seth and Kraken Khan vs Dennis Zázrak (c)

SDS: Ladies and gentlemen, if you're just joining us, Johnny Cyclone was just viciously attacked in the parking bay by Kruscher, who powerslammed Cyclone through the sunroof of a parked car.

DS: It was sick!

SDS: Cyclone has been loaded into an ambulance and taken to a local hospital. We are currently awaiting an update on his condition.

DS: Hopefully some sense was knocked into him.

SDS: I'm about to knock some into you.

David Bekker: The following contest is a Handicap Match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Psycho Style Wrestling Tectonic Championship!

The crowd pops.

DS: I forgot about this paródia grotesca!

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - The Honey Badger vs Kala Kahuna II

A virtuosic guitar accompanied by heavy rock riffs plays to a pop. The two big screens show a honey badger going about its day: burrowing, climbing, looking cute, biting the balls of lions. The man himself briskly walks out, looking small and rabid.

David Bekker: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! On the way to the ring, from Hoedspruit, Limpopo, South Africa, standing 168 centimetres and weighing in at 104 kilos, THEEEEEEE HONEY BADGEERRRRRR!

SDS: The last time we saw this man, he was sent flying like a boomerang by the World Dominion Champion, Paul Grizzly.

DS: Yeah, after he got pinned by Kahuna in the tag team match and then went crazy, squeezing his balls.

SDS: "Went" crazy?

DS: ... I see your point.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Crash Course

The cameraman follows Katrina Petrov into the arena's parking bay. There she finds the towering form of Johnny Cyclone, clad in his aqua-green singlet, pacing with his white-gloved hands on his hips, seemingly talking to the air.

Petrov: Johnny...? Do you perhaps have a moment?

The young African-American looks up at the ceiling, "One second, Lord," and turns to the interviewer.

Cyclone: How's it going, Katrina?

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Mudir vs Mystery Opponent

A modern remix of Cello Suite No.1 in G major, BWV 1007 by Johann Sebastian Bach is heard on the speakers. The crowd is utterly confused as the Yemeni man walks out in his boxing-style robe, no glasses or book to be found in his hands. Only a microphone. 

DS: Here he comes. The Plan himself!

SDS: I am not calling him that. 

Mudir: Good evening, Manila!

The crowd pops.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Male-Dominated Spaces

Another O.R.D.R.L.I. feed begins to load on the two big screens. Before the video even starts, sounds are heard. The sounds of screams and grunts, of fists and feet.

SDS: Now, what's happening?

DS (listening and frowning): Wait, doesn't that sound like-?

And then the feed appears. The crowd screams in shock.

SDS: Its- It's Raquel Santana! 

DS: What?

SDS: Raquel Santana is assaulting Kevin Kambole!

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Rami Arslan vs Raquel Santana

An intense, echoing snare drum roll, followed by a dark, tribal-sounding beat, is heard throughout the arena.

SDS: Here comes something of a grudge match in its own right.

DS: Huh?

SDS: Don't you remember?

Out walks a lean Lebanese man with a buzz cut, trimmed beard and black trunks with foot wraps instead of boots.

David Bekker: The following contest is a No Holds Barred match-up scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Beirut, Lebanon, standing 180 centimetres and weighing in at 100 Kilos, RAMI AAARSLAAAN!!

DS: Remind me again, why we're having a No-Holds Barred match. Who did this guy piss off?

SDS: You seriously don't recall what happened during the Triple Threat Thunderweight Match last week?

DS: Cara, put on a replay! "You seriously don't recall-" There were like 50 matches last week!

SDS: Sorry, I guess asking a commentator to remember matches was too big of a task. Alright then, let's have a look.

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Booking Ain't Easy

SDS: While the search for He Who Wields Thunder continues and we await an update on the Danys Vités' condition, we're going to give you all a rundown of some of the exciting match-ups you can expect.

DS: Beleza!

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - O For Two

An O.R.D.R.L.I feed captures the gorilla position following Heladas' attack and escape.

GM Jeffrey Campbell: He disappeared?!

Producer Palesa Jeyi: They've got flashlights and cameras under the ring. Take a look; he's gone.

Campbell (leaning over her shoulder): Bloody, black magic bastard. I swear on me life, Shabani's gonna-

His phone rings. He pulls it out and laughs.

Campbell: Speak of the Devil, eh? (*beep*)

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - Marcelo Sousa vs Danys Vités

A drone camera flies in around the cavernous bowl, above the 5-tier grandstand filled with blue seats and 15,000 screaming fans. At the centre of all this is a ring. A Fight Pit ring. 

SDS: We are LIVE from the Mall in Manila! 

The feed switches to a cameraman standing in front of the commentary desk.

SDS: Welcome, everyone, to the Psycho Style Wrestling Friday Night Fight Pit. I'm "Striking" Darryl Stroligo, here with the Carnival King, Diogo Santos!

DS: I love this place, Darryl! The minas they got are second only to what we got in Brazil.

SDS: You're going to have to take off that helmet at some point, and I will be ready.

Santos gulps and grips the helmet as Stroligo stares him down.

SDS (looks into the camera): The Valentine's Brawl in Dunedin, New Zealand is set for 3 weeks from tomorrow, and PSW's Pacific Island tour continues. Next week, we're sailing to Suva, Fiji. But enough about the future, we hav to talk about the immediate past, don't we?

DS: Yeah, last week, Paul Grizzly, the champ, the man, putting the whole roster on notice, destroying EVERYBODY in sight.

SDS: It was utter carnage. Johnny Cyclone, Kruscher, the Honey Badger, Kala Kahuna, even GM Jeffery Campbell, all casualties of the Holder of Dominion's rampage. 

DS: IT WAS ALL MONTANI'S FAULT! And Campbell's too. What the hell is he thinking, keeping him as the No. 1 contender and bringing him here?

SDS: Don't forget, Montani's tag team partner, Cody K. Olwagen, was hospitalised by Grizzly at Ascension. That's the entire reason for this. Grizzly started this war.

DS: Yeah, well, he's going to end it! I have it on good authority that he's here tonight.

SDS: Ah, so he's not here.

DS: I just told you a reliable source told me he's definitely here.

SDS: But you're full of it, so I know he's not in the building and won't be at all..

DS: Whatever, we'll see.

SDS: That we will. Now, let's move away from the heavyweights and make way for some THUNDERWEIGHTS!

PSW Fight Pit Episode 4 - A Killa In Manila

- 24 January 2031

A black SUV pulls up outside a striking, eye-shaped glass facade and a massive exterior LED screen that lights up a waterfront. This SUV is followed by 3 MPD cruisers. Several PSW security guards, led by the new gargantuan Deputy-Security Chief Cyrus Reed, march outside to meet him. 

SDS: What's this about?

DS: It must be Miss Manila. I hear she's smoking! Hope she joins us...

SDS (tries to smack him, only to hit something hard): OW! What?

DS (Pulls off hat and wig to reveal a helmet): HA! I was ready for you!

One of the back doors of the pops opens and out walks the tall, tanned and shredded gangster known as...

SDS: It's Vito Montani!

DS: Aarrrrgghh!!
