[The Syndicate Wrestling And Tradition commissioner wears a literal X*Crown to draw attention to himself, while standing in the shadow of the Beetham Tower.]
Zoran Sainovic: What a dreary shithole to have a street fight in. Does zis town have ANY landmarks? <pointing at nothing> Oh look, a factory where people used to have jobs. Wow.
[The streets are empty. There is one guy standing off in the distance, and its hard to say if he’s there for the wrestling or if he just can’t stand his home life.]
Jeremy Tucker: We see the champion outside the arena, waiting for his opponent. It looks like there is one spectator out there, but otherwise it’s like a ghost town.
Andrew Fulton: Do you see that tiara that Zoran’s wearing?
Jeremy Tucker: It’s a crown, Andrew.
Andrew Fulton: What do you think that thing costs? Here we’re all flying coach, and he has that bauble custom made so he can leave all the world titles in his office? I wouldn’t even mind, but you know he’s only doing it to work the brits, and I doubt we’ll even see that thing again after this show.
Frank Salazar: Ladies and gentlemen... this is your MAIN EVENT!!!
[The audio from the arena pipes in over the exterior footage. While the crowd cheer for Salazar’s announcements, over the tron they watch Zoran Sainovic adjust the small crown on his head. Rather than lug the 21 world titles that make up the X*Crown, Sainovic commissioned a proper crown – looking not unlike Starscream right before he gets snuffed in the Transformer’s movie.]
Frank Salazar: It is a street fight for the XHF X*Crown!!!!!
*We Heart The X*Crown And Hope We Have It After The Rumble Pop*
Andrew Fulton: We see the commissioner waiting in the middle of nowhere for-
Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTER GETS THE DROP ON SAINOVIC!!!
Andrew Fulton: Sainovic is in an empty square, he doesn’t see Paul coming, that’s on him. Its not like Soutter is a damned ninja.
Jeremy Tucker: The Big Bad Bustling Bandit coming in strong with clubbing blows to the back of the commissioner’s neck. That crown sent falling to the concrete. Irish whip sends the champion crashing into a bench. The KGB leader following up with a shoulder tackle – BOTH MEN crashing through the back of it!
Andrew Fulton: Soutter trying to press the advantage, mounting Sainovic for the ground and pound.
Jeremy Tucker: Throwing down a big right hook, but Sainovic stabbing it with a large splinter of wood. So many pieces from that bench laying around, Zoran improvising a weapon to halt the challenger’s vicious assault.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter punching his fist into the concrete to remove the wood, and not missing a beat to backhand Zoran.
Jeremy Tucker: Both men fighting back up to their feet, trading shots. We haven’t seen much in-ring action from Soutter since New Year’s Nightmare. I was concerned we might see some ring rust, but he’s really taking it to the champion.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter with another whip, sends Sainovic flying into an empty restaurant patio. Following in with a big kneelift, but Sainovic pulls a table into the way... and flips it to catch Soutter on the jaw.
Jeremy Tucker: Sainovic bringing the table across Soutter’s back. Soutter staggering into some chairs, grabs one and swings blindly. Almost took Sainovic’s head off! The champion grabbing a chair of his own. Dueling chairs!

Andrew Fulton: This has been a long time coming. Paul Soutter got increasingly annoyed with Pesci following the Helloween Cup. With the Bandit focusing more on the KGB, Pesci ended up relying more and more on Sainovic, until when our former owner was finally forced out, it created the kind of power vacuum for a glorified manager to become our most decorated champion. 21 world titles. You know that is eating Paul up.

Jeremy Tucker: For seven months these two have been engaged in an extremely passive aggressive cold war. It just went RED hot! Soutter is the FOUNDER of SWAT, and since the start of Sainovic’s reign in the new year his company is missing millions of dollars. We still have no idea what happened to Lucky Linda’s No Man’s Land winnings. I cannot say if Sainovic is responsible, but its clear for the sake of the company, for Soutter’s legacy, he has to step in, and he’s doing just that now!
Andrew Fulton: He’s indirectly responsible for Sainovic being in charge, and he’s taking ownership of that now! What a nasty chairshot!

Andrew Fulton: Big wind-up, and that caught Sainovic on the hand. Another shot by Soutter, forces the chair out of the champion’s hands. Flat edge to the throat, sends Sainovic staggering back into a storefront wall. Here comes Soutter charging in-
Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTERLANCHE-----
#SMASH#
Andrew Fulton: Zoran ducking, turns it into a backdrop which just sent Soutter crashing through a glass window! The Bandit is cut to ribbons! There might be more blood on the ground than glass – which is saying something!
Jeremy Tucker: It’s a good thing they only have one passerby checking out the action, because if the streets weren’t empty I don’t want to know how many fans would be injured by these two! Sainovic uses a folding chair to hit the delirium trigger on the bloody husk of Soutter, and there’s a hook of the leg!
Andrew Fulton: Referee Guy Gilbert having to shove shards of glass aside to find a place he can slap his hand on... one... two... so close!
Jeremy Tucker: Sainovic producing a Liverpool F.C. scarf to choke Soutter with. Fans in the arena not caring for that at all.
Andrew Fulton: Apparently, they don’t like winners. Using the scarf, Sainovic drags Soutter up out of the window – and bulldogs him across a short fence. That’ll leave a ma- rocker dropper against the back of the head, knocks Soutter off that fence!
Jeremy Tucker: Sainovic again going for the cover, hook of the leg... one... two... kickout! Again, close.
Andrew Fulton: The winner of this match is going into the XHF Rumble as the champion. Putting the title on the line against the best and brightest that the XHF has to offer. It makes sense to try to finish this as quickly as possible for the sake of the organization, and NOT beat each other so badly that whoever wins has NO CHANCE of retaining. ...but what do I know?
Jeremy Tucker: Both men definitely throwing caution to the wind. Sainovic going for the Interrogation ’89 – if he locks this in, its – its ON! IT’S ON! No ropes to break the hold! Soutter fighting back up to his feet, but that is locked in!
Andrew Fulton: The Bandit is trying to struggle out, throwing elbows to free himself, but Sainovic just cranking back. Apparently he’s won three of his confession matches with this hold. Broke one guy’s collarbone!
Jeremy Tucker: That’s a hell of a choke.
Andrew Fulton: The Commish is a submission expert, had Marty Donovan tapping in seconds last show. The fact that Soutter hasn’t thrown in the towel is a real testament to how much he HATES Zoran.
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter staggering into a brick wall, but not shaking the champion’s grip. Slumping against a car to try and scrape him off, nothing. Soutter with nowhere to go. This could be it-
#DING#
Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTER FALLS BACKWARDS INTO A BIKE! ZORAN SENT SPINE FIRST INTO IT!
Andrew Fulton: That’ll break the hold! Zoran writhing around in pain. Soutter desperately trying to catch his breath.
Jeremy Tucker: Both men crawling back up to their feet – Zoran kicking at Soutter’s head, trying to press the advantage. Trying for The Pain-
#DING#
Jeremy Tucker: But Soutter armdrags him again into that bike! The force knocking it free.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter now lifting Sainovic up – BRUTAL - SCOOP SLAM into the bike!!!
#DIIING#
Jeremy Tucker: Hook of the leg – ONE!!!!!! TWO!!!!!!!! THRE-so close!
Andrew Fulton: Soutter yanking the bike out from under Zoran – kicking the commish off of it, and swinging it like a club.

Jeremy Tucker: Soutter just demolished that bike, repeatedly bringing it down on the back of the champion. Zoran is almost as battered as the glass encrusted founder.
Andrew Fulton: POWERSLAM into the broken pieces of bike, and there is another cover... ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy Tucker: Kickout! Kickout! He looks like death but Zoran Sainovic somehow managed to kick out!
Andrew Fulton: Soutter reaching around into the debris and pulling out the bike’s chain.
Soutter: THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR ALL THAT DESRESPECTFUL TANNER CRAP YOU PULLED!
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter TANNING Zoran with that bike chain! Just cutting that suit, hell, the flesh to ribbons! Wait, you don’t think?
Andrew Fultion: Someone is finally calling Zoran out for Zombie Adrian Tanner.
Jeremy Tucker: Fans that are unaware. Adrian Tanner is the most popular wrestler in the history of SWAT. He was our foundation, pillar, cornerstone and favourite son. A close friend of Paul and the Society members. Adrian tragically passed away four years ago.
Andrew Fulton: And Zoran spent his first half year in SWAT dressed as a dead Adrian. It was the single sickest, grossest, stupidest, uncalled for garbage our sport has ever seen. That was a real man with a real family, and Zoran’s behaviour was frankly inhuman.
Jeremy Tucker: Paul now taking him to task for it! Better late than never! I’d say beating him like a red headed stepchild, but it’s a lot more gruesome. The champ being flailed by that bike chain.
Andrew Fulton: Considering how close they were supposed to be, I’m surprised the Society of the New Breed never did anything about it.
Jeremy Tucker: They sent Marty, didn’t they?
[See Jeremy is the mean one. No one believes Andrew Fulton when he says it, but it’s true.]
Zoran Sainovic <spitting blood>: Some people just can’t take a joke.
Andrew Fulton: Scalpel! Zoran Sainovic just stabbed Soutter in the thigh with a scalpel!
Jeremy Tucker: Two more inches to the left and the founder would be competing in the Amazon’s division.
Andrew Fulton: Paul doesn’t know whether to pull the scalpel out or leave it in, that looks DEEP.
Jeremy Tucker: Sainovic using the pause in whippings to drop toehold Soutter into the concrete. Zoran rising – and his suit jacket falling away in tatters. Trying to fight through the pain, grabbing Soutter by the hair – NECKBREAKER onto the hood of a car! There’s the cover... one! Two! THREEEEEEEEEE-Soutter gets a shoulder up.
Andrew Fulton: Sainovic can barely stand from blood loss, but here comes-
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Jeremy Tucker: CWM SPECIAL by Zoran PLANTS Soutter on the roof of that car, and the windows just exploded from the impact! ONE!!! TWO!!!!! THREE?
Andrew Fulton: Soutter somehow getting an arm up! A frustrated Zoran rolling off, slides off the car, and drags Soutter after him by that scalpel.
Jeremy Tucker: Setting him up for the Extractor- Soutter knocks him off with a big elbow! Zoran trying to shake it off and charging again, right into a hip attack. Soutter can barely stand but using his strength to muscle an advantage. Another elbow shot sends Zoran back into...
Jeremy Tucker: A double decker bus!
[Zoran stumbles into the doors of the bus, Soutter staggers after him with a spear. The camera tries to follow them onto it, but a European uppercut knocks Soutter back into the doors closing them.]
Andrew Fulton: Cameraman shut out, but from the shaking of that bus, I’d say they were killing each other.
Jeremy Tucker: The windows to tinted to see through, but from the amount of crashing sounds, they are definitely going all out.
Andrew Fulton: Referee Guy Gibson trying to get on. So even if one of them incapacitates the other in there, they are going to have to take it out-
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
#CRASH#
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTER SPECIAL SENDS BOTH MEN CRASHING THROUGH A SECOND FLOOR WINDOW TO THE CONCRETE BELOW!!!!!!!
Andrew Fulton: They both hit the ground hard. Put a fork in them, they’re done!
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter landing on top, presence of mind to shift his weight, managing to slowly drape an arm across Zoran. ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Fulton: No! That’s one way to break a three count.
Jeremy Tucker: Zoran Sainovic stabbing a fork into Soutter’s hand to force the retraction.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter pulling his hand away, but still the first one to start getting up. The commish took the brunt of that fall. Not that either of them are looking able to capitalize right now. Wait, here comes Timeless!!!
Jeremy Tucker: TIMELESS ALEX TURNER COMING IN WITH A CHAIR, LOOKING TO MAKE IT A CLEAN SWEEP OF TITLE CHANGES TONIGHT BY HELPING OUT HIS KGB MENTOR!!!
Andrew Fulton: Timeless looking to brain Sainovic with that chair, but Soutter yelling at him to step back? Has Suit lost his damned mind?
Jeremy Tucker: He doesn’t want Turner getting fired.
Andrew Fulton: Suit doesn’t care about that.
Jeremy Tucker: Fine. Then he wants to prove he can win the X*Crown on his own merits. This is just like the Frostbite defence – he is actually standing up for work ethic and fair sportsmanship.
Andrew Fulton: What a fool.
Jeremy Tucker: Timeless looks disgusted at Soutters objections, but isn’t going to argue with him about it.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter turning back to his-
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Jeremy Tucker: INTEROGATION ’15!!!!
Andrew Fulton: Zoran from behind with that devastating choke! Just drags Soutter to the ground and starts wringing his neck.
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter in a bad way! Alex Turner is five feet from this – if he wanted, he could save – Timeless is walking away!
Andrew Fulton: Still there is no way that Suit...
Jeremy Tucker: He doesn’t have to submit, he’s out like a light! Guy Gibson raising the arm... it drops... once... twice... three times! Non responsive for your win!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Frank Salazar: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by submission and STILL the XHF X*Crown champion,
Zoran Sainovic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*MASSIVE BOOS*
Andrew Fulton: Crowd does not like that! I think they were really pulling for Soutter by the end of it. Especially when he stood up for Tanner unlike some fan favourites I could mention.
[Catching his breathe, Zoran Sainovic brings his fist down on Soutter’s face, again and again, letting out a visceral growl at the sheer ferocity of that defence. Is his hand broken? Just when he’s ready to slump over in exhaustion, he looks up at the matches only live spectator. He’s holding the X*Crown actual crown. He looks familiar. Zoran wipes the blood from his eyes.]
Jeremy Tucker: Isn’t that?
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
*MONSTER POP*
Death Trap: No Lego’s to save you this time.
[The MCCW star tosses the crown to the barely breathing champion. If looks could kill.]
Jeremy Tucker: MCCW’s Death Trap has been out on the streets following these two around! One of the odds on favourites for the rumble, AND one of the men that Zoran defeated for the crown, is here sizing up his competition!
Andrew Fulton: Death Trap and Zoran Sainovic starring each other down. If these two are actually in the ring together at the Rumble, talk about explosions!
Jeremy Tucker: The crowd watching this on the Tron is actually CHANTING Death Trap’s name! The SWAT fans HATE Zoran Sainovic so much that they would rather see MCCW take the titles than have Zoran retain!
Andrew Fulton: It’s a self-desructive crowd, Jerry, otherwise they wouldn’t be coming to our live shows during this pandemic.
Jeremy Tucker: That is not a word of a lie. Well fans watching from the safety of home, good night! We’ll see Zoran at the XHF Rumble, while the rest of us will be back next week in Spain for Battleground.
[Zoran Sainovic and Death Trap continue their stare down as the camera fades to black.]
Zoran Sainovic: What a dreary shithole to have a street fight in. Does zis town have ANY landmarks? <pointing at nothing> Oh look, a factory where people used to have jobs. Wow.
[The streets are empty. There is one guy standing off in the distance, and its hard to say if he’s there for the wrestling or if he just can’t stand his home life.]

Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTER GETS THE DROP ON SAINOVIC!!!
Andrew Fulton: Sainovic is in an empty square, he doesn’t see Paul coming, that’s on him. Its not like Soutter is a damned ninja.

Jeremy Tucker: CWM SPECIAL by Zoran PLANTS Soutter on the roof of that car, and the windows just exploded from the impact! ONE!!! TWO!!!!! THREE?
Andrew Fulton: Soutter somehow getting an arm up! A frustrated Zoran rolling off, slides off the car, and drags Soutter after him by that scalpel.
Jeremy Tucker: Setting him up for the Extractor- Soutter knocks him off with a big elbow! Zoran trying to shake it off and charging again, right into a hip attack. Soutter can barely stand but using his strength to muscle an advantage. Another elbow shot sends Zoran back into...
Jeremy Tucker: A double decker bus!
[Zoran stumbles into the doors of the bus, Soutter staggers after him with a spear. The camera tries to follow them onto it, but a European uppercut knocks Soutter back into the doors closing them.]
Andrew Fulton: Cameraman shut out, but from the shaking of that bus, I’d say they were killing each other.
Jeremy Tucker: The windows to tinted to see through, but from the amount of crashing sounds, they are definitely going all out.
Andrew Fulton: Referee Guy Gibson trying to get on. So even if one of them incapacitates the other in there, they are going to have to take it out-

Jeremy Tucker: SOUTTER SPECIAL SENDS BOTH MEN CRASHING THROUGH A SECOND FLOOR WINDOW TO THE CONCRETE BELOW!!!!!!!
Andrew Fulton: They both hit the ground hard. Put a fork in them, they’re done!
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter landing on top, presence of mind to shift his weight, managing to slowly drape an arm across Zoran. ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Fulton: No! That’s one way to break a three count.
Jeremy Tucker: Zoran Sainovic stabbing a fork into Soutter’s hand to force the retraction.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter pulling his hand away, but still the first one to start getting up. The commish took the brunt of that fall. Not that either of them are looking able to capitalize right now. Wait, here comes Timeless!!!
Jeremy Tucker: TIMELESS ALEX TURNER COMING IN WITH A CHAIR, LOOKING TO MAKE IT A CLEAN SWEEP OF TITLE CHANGES TONIGHT BY HELPING OUT HIS KGB MENTOR!!!
Andrew Fulton: Timeless looking to brain Sainovic with that chair, but Soutter yelling at him to step back? Has Suit lost his damned mind?
Jeremy Tucker: He doesn’t want Turner getting fired.
Andrew Fulton: Suit doesn’t care about that.
Jeremy Tucker: Fine. Then he wants to prove he can win the X*Crown on his own merits. This is just like the Frostbite defence – he is actually standing up for work ethic and fair sportsmanship.
Andrew Fulton: What a fool.
Jeremy Tucker: Timeless looks disgusted at Soutters objections, but isn’t going to argue with him about it.
Andrew Fulton: Soutter turning back to his-

Jeremy Tucker: INTEROGATION ’15!!!!
Andrew Fulton: Zoran from behind with that devastating choke! Just drags Soutter to the ground and starts wringing his neck.
Jeremy Tucker: Soutter in a bad way! Alex Turner is five feet from this – if he wanted, he could save – Timeless is walking away!
Andrew Fulton: Still there is no way that Suit...
Jeremy Tucker: He doesn’t have to submit, he’s out like a light! Guy Gibson raising the arm... it drops... once... twice... three times! Non responsive for your win!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Frank Salazar: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by submission and STILL the XHF X*Crown champion,
Zoran Sainovic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*MASSIVE BOOS*
Andrew Fulton: Crowd does not like that! I think they were really pulling for Soutter by the end of it. Especially when he stood up for Tanner unlike some fan favourites I could mention.
[Catching his breathe, Zoran Sainovic brings his fist down on Soutter’s face, again and again, letting out a visceral growl at the sheer ferocity of that defence. Is his hand broken? Just when he’s ready to slump over in exhaustion, he looks up at the matches only live spectator. He’s holding the X*Crown actual crown. He looks familiar. Zoran wipes the blood from his eyes.]
Jeremy Tucker: Isn’t that?

*MONSTER POP*
Death Trap: No Lego’s to save you this time.
[The MCCW star tosses the crown to the barely breathing champion. If looks could kill.]
Jeremy Tucker: MCCW’s Death Trap has been out on the streets following these two around! One of the odds on favourites for the rumble, AND one of the men that Zoran defeated for the crown, is here sizing up his competition!
Andrew Fulton: Death Trap and Zoran Sainovic starring each other down. If these two are actually in the ring together at the Rumble, talk about explosions!
Jeremy Tucker: The crowd watching this on the Tron is actually CHANTING Death Trap’s name! The SWAT fans HATE Zoran Sainovic so much that they would rather see MCCW take the titles than have Zoran retain!
Andrew Fulton: It’s a self-desructive crowd, Jerry, otherwise they wouldn’t be coming to our live shows during this pandemic.
Jeremy Tucker: That is not a word of a lie. Well fans watching from the safety of home, good night! We’ll see Zoran at the XHF Rumble, while the rest of us will be back next week in Spain for Battleground.
[Zoran Sainovic and Death Trap continue their stare down as the camera fades to black.]
