The rules of the mosh pit are simple. And if followed precisely can turn the “art” of moshing into a beautiful and energetic form of dance.
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
If you’re in the mosh pit, mosh—or look for a way out. If you’re not in the mosh pit, don’t mosh.
If someone falls down, help pick them up.
Moshing is an opt-in activity.
“Does anybody have any questions?”
A roadie at the concert venue stood in front of Steve Awesome, the Hard(k)ore Champion of the World, and Tuna Meltzer, waiting for any follow up concerns or questions. But the duo had none and Tuna faced his news camera to start his introduction.
“Moshing. Is it a cathartic and fulfilling way to release anger and rage? Or is it just a bunch of muscle head idiots beating the shit out of each other because the music is loud?”
Tuna smiles and nods.
“Hello. I’m Tuna Meltzer with Wrestling With The News. I’m here live, IN DA PIT, with Steve Awesome! We’re here at the Anthrax concert and any minute now we’re going to get caught in a mosh! Are you ready, Steve?”
Steve pats the Hardcore title hanging on his shoulder and he nods his head.
“How bad can it be Tuna?”
Tuna shrugs.
“I guess we are about to find that out, Steve. First tonight and then in your Hardcore title defense against Rin Kubo! On either side of us are hundreds of concert goers ready to rush the middle into a head on collision and turn this concert floor into a war zone. People can get seriously hurt in these things but I think with you watching my back out there everything will be okay. Right Steve?”
Tuna turns to find Steve is long gone. Because what kind of idiot would actually put themselves into that type of situation? Steve is now standing safely against the wall. He waves to Tuna and gives him a thumbs up.
Tuna’s face goes pale as the music starts.
Tuna starts to run for his life but soon enough he is engulfed by two massive waves of humanity.
Steve Awesome watches from a safe distance, tapping on the table to the beat of the drums. The roadie from earlier approaches Steve.
“I thought you were getting into the pit?”
Steve shook his head and took a drink of water.
“Nah, it’s too dumb and sweaty for me. Besides, it’s just a little girl I’m facing in Japan. Tuna can experience it all and tell me what it’s like. How is he doing out there?”
The roadie peers into the mosh pit and soon enough he spots Tuna Meltzer within the pit. His clothes are ripped, his hair is a mess and he’s getting bumped all over the place but he seems to be okay.
“Ah! I see him! He looks a little rough but he’s holding his own. Oh wait, no, he’s stumbled over towards the air punchers and windmill kickers!”
The roadie winces in pain each time a blow connects with Tuna.
“Oh okay thankfully your friend has limped over to the pit circle wall. Oh wait, here come the crowd killers! Ooh! Ouch! It’s okay, someone will pick him up! It’s in the mosh pit rules!”
The roadie's eyes slowly widen in absolute horror as he continues to watch the carnage.
“Oh no! They aren’t picking him up!
Steve Awesome listens on, seemingly terrified of what he’s hearing. The roadie covers his eyes but splits his fingers to see.
“Oh no! They are just continuing to mosh over your friends fallen and mangled body….oh da horror!!!
Steve slowly pulls his sunglasses off.
Oh….my…..god….”
Steve shakes his head and sighs.
“He was my ride home!”
Steve crosses his arms, annoyed by this minor setback.
“Now I’m gonna have to get an Uber….”

“Call me an old soul here….”
Fade in on the now two time XHF Hardcore Champion. The belt hangs over the shoulder of the Face of the Franchise. Steve’s trademark smirk greets the camera.
“But I used to think the idea of moshing is pretty stupid. It’s just a sweaty mass of idiots taking cheap shots at each other with flying heel kicks and then they call it expression.”
Steve rolls his eyes as he goes on.
“But as I penetrate deeper into the world of HardKore, I can start to see the appeal of a mosh pit. I can start to understand why people want to just get in there and beat the living shit out of each other.”
Steve nods.
“It’s a release.”
He said, matter of factly.
“You take all your tension, and your anger, and your built up rage, and you just start bashing the next guy in the face as soon as the music goes boom.”
“Of course,”
He chuckles.
“You’ll never see me doing stupid shit like that. Nah, that’s for people who are mad at their dad’s.”
“But after beating people like Jason Long in a Taipei Deathmatch, I can start to appreciate a mosh pit for the carnage it brings. It’s a total whirlwind of violence and chaos.”
Steve gave the camera a quick wink.
“That might be the one thing my next challenger and I have in common. We both get a little wet for the chaos. I mean isn’t that the reason you formed Sky Force? Because you think you and your angsty little friends are true chaos?”
“C’mon baby…”
He smirks.
“If you want chaos you're looking at him.”
He extends his arms out and then runs his hands through his hair.
“I’m the new face of Hardcore.”
He beams an arrogant grin.
“And if you honestly think I’m going to let some snot nosed little girl who thinks the world is against her because nobody wanted to book her bland ass come and take what I’ve been building up, then you are as stupid as you look.”
“In Japan, Rin….”
He pounds his fist into his palm.
“I’m gonna brutalize you.”
He cracks his neck.
“I’m gonna make you suffer.”
He throws a pretty decent windmill kick.
“In Japan, I’m going to open the pit the fuck up!”
He grits his teeth and glares. Emitting the evil intentions he has through his green eyes.
“I’m going to walk into that arena and I’m going to unleash the anger and rage and the tension until your tiny little body can’t move anymore. I’m going to make a release…
He does a one handed crotch chop.
“All over your face….”
Steve said it so calmly. So precise. He had his malicious plans in place for Rin Kubo and was more than ready to execute.
“And I think a part of you knows that Rin. You’ve been fighting the world, thinking it’s working against you, thinking you weren’t getting your fair share. But I think you're starting to realize you are in over your head. You’re starting to realize that the world wasn’t holding you back, you just were never quite as good as you saw yourself to be.”
Steve tsked and shook his head.
“But now Rin, you are in the biggest match of your life. Against the Face of the Franchise. Against the XHF Hardcore Champion of the World. Against one of the absolute best to have ever done it! Unfortunately in Japan, inside Mosh Pit Madness, I’m going to run through you so bad it’s going to make Astroworld look like a fucking Wiggles Concert!”
He sneers into the camera. As he thought about the next thing to say he slowly grew a grin.
“But hey…”
Steve said with a simple shrug.
“At least you finally made it to the big time….”
Steve pulled his sunglasses down to his nose and peered over the frame.
“Now you’re gonna die…”
He hits her with a crotch chop.
Scene fades.

The Anthrax set had finished and everyone was starting to go home. Steve Awesome finished his water and suddenly noticed Tuna Meltzer slowly crawling toward Steve. Tuna’s body was broken and mangled and all he could seem to do was whisper the word Hospital to Steve.
Steve leaped from his chair and rushed to Tuna’s side.
“Oh my god, Tune, I thought you were a goner!?”
“Hos-pit-al”
Steve nods his head.
“Yeah man, sure thing. We will get you to a hospital….after you drop me off at home.”
Tuna groans in pain.
“Ah ah, don’t give me no lip. You promised me.”
Tuna mutters under his breath as the one unbroken part of his body reaches into his pocket and pulls out his car keys.
“Sweet. I might get home in time for The Simpsons!”
Steve walks out of the venue. Tuna painfully crawls toward the exit leaving a trail of blood behind him as he does.
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
