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!
