The GCW pyro blasts off as the main GCW theme blares across the arena. A message flashes up saying Montgomery, Alabama. We cut to the commentary desk where Beast and Kohl are standing, fully suited and waiting for their cue
Kohl: Welcome to GCW Friday Night Vindication, coming to you LIVE from the Garrett Colosseum in Montgomery, Alabama! Tonight we reach the conclusive episode on our path to Malice in Wonderland!
Beast: I love it Terry, you can feel the excitement in the air on these shows. Especially the qualifiers for the Hardcore Battle Royale.
Kohl: Speaking of which, up first is our first qualifier to detemine who enters between #4 and #6!
Kenneth Rodman vs. Jesse James vs. Dan Henderson
Agood old fashioned triple threat match, Kenneth Rodman and Dan Henderson butted heads many times as Jesse James could just sit back and relax. Not really getting out of first gear, James was able to pin Kenneth Rodman after Dan Henderson hit him with a Medium Sized Boot. Henderson was thrown out of the ring falling flat on his face and struggling to get back up, Jesse James got the three count and thus enters at #6, with Dan Henderson entering at #5 and Ken Rodman at #4.

El Masko vs. Andrew Jordan vs. Brandon Irving
The second match, this bout was a great building classic. The Dragon Andrew Jordan provided relentless offense against both El Masko and Brandon Irving. Brandon Irving was unceremoniously tossed out of the ring whilst El Masko was sequentially struck with the Dragon Combo and then a powerful Korean Bomb to give Jordan the 3 count. The entry order is now Andrew Jordan #3, Brandon Irving #2 and El Masko #1.

Sway Archer Promo
The camera opens on Sway sitting cross-legged in his bedroom. The circular window is open, and the moonlight is casting a spotlight. Sway is cradling his United States title, holding it tight. He looks up to the camera, and begins to speak.
Sway Archer: I am not a perfect human being. I take too many risks, I don't calculate like I should. For people like Edgar, this gives them the upper hand. That was my mistake.
Sway drops his head solemnly.
SA: There is no room for mistakes on The Sway Archer Galaxy Tour. So Edgar, I'm happy for you. You did what I would have!
Sway shrugs and holds his title a little closer.
SA: Edgar is not my problem though. Not anymore. Simon is. At Malice in Wonderland, I hope Simon tries again. I want you to try, and try, and try, so you can see the truth. Simon, you have to realize, we are not equals. I am faster. Smarter. More vicious. So when you come for this title, and I invite you to, know this: I will put an end to your bravado. Your ego will be replaced with insecurity, and you will see your humanity laid bare in front of you. Like Icarus, you have flown too close to the sun. Now, begins your sad and terrifying descent to the cold hard earth below you.
Sway bows his head.
SA: And what a long, long fall, it will be.
Red Dragon vs. Jack Rodgers
Fink: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Already in the ring, from New York City, weighing in at 221 pounds, Jack Rodgers.
*The crowd politely applaud the somewhat nervous looking Jack who gives them a timid wave. *
Fink: And his opponent, from parts unknown, weighing in at 232 pounds, Red Dragon!
*Behemoth’s O father, O Satan, O Sin begins to play as lightning strikes can be heard. A small line of fire erupts as Red Dragon emerges from under the stage. Red Dragon gives a small grin to the booing crowd as he slowly makes his way to the ring. Once he is at the ring, he slides in and leans onto the ropes, waiting for the match to begin*
*And with both wrestlers in their respective corners, the match begins. *
Kohl: Well partner, here we go with Jack Rodgers versus Red Dragon the hardcore champion. Jack doesn’t seem too thrilled to be out there with a psychotic man like Dragon.
Beast: It’s no wonder he looks terrified, do you remember what happened the last time Jack stepped in the ring with Red Dragon?
Kohl: I unfortunately do Beast well let’s see if we are in for the same tonight.
*Jack begins to hype up as Red Dragon smiles and makes his way slowly towards him. Red Dragon starts to mock Jack, stating that he shouldn’t have come back to face him. However, he holds his hands in the air and invites Jack to strike him*
Kohl: How very strange of Red Dragon, allowing Jack to deliver the first strike of the match.
Beast: I don’t know what mind games he’s trying to play but it seems Jack might take the opportunity.
Kohl: He’s readying his fist…A huge right hook to Red Dr-
Beast: NO WAY! His face didn’t even move Kohl! It had no effect.
Kohl: Jack is just as shocked as you Beast. Just look at his expression. That is the face of terror.
*Jack, realising the danger he is in, attempts to exit the ring but is easily grabbed by Dragon on the tights. He pleads with Red Dragon who simply grins at him and lifts him straight into a legacy of the disturbed. *
Kohl: A vicious move there by Red Dragon, planting Jack directly on his head.
Beast: Well, that’s it. Say no more. This match is over.
Kohl: Not yet Beast, Red Dragon doesn’t seem satisfied. He’s mounting onto Jacks stomach…a huge headbutt, and again, and again! He’s not stopping the assault.
Beast: We know what he’s going for Kohl. Red Dragon’s not happy until he sees blood.
Kohl: And that’s exactly what we are seeing. Look at the horrible flow of red coming from Jack. The ref needs to stop this match.
Beast: Would you want to stop a man like Red Dragon? I didn’t think so.
Kohl: I guess you are right partner. Red Dragon has stopped now and appears to be heading for the top rope. He must be looking to hit the nail in the coffin…And that’s exactly what he does…1…2…3! This one’s over.
Fink: Here is your winner, Red Dragon!
Beast: Let’s be honest Kohl, did we expect anything different than that?
Kohl: Well I had a bit of hope for Jack Rodgers, and then I saw how Red Dragon completely ignored the punch.
Darius Seeiso vs. Testament
A match that wasn’t worth much of note. Darius interfered in Testament’s entrance knocking him down to the ground and ripping his chains and shirt off him. Dazed and confused, Testament was thrown into barricades, ringsteps and even the commentary table. Rolling Testament into the ring, when the bell rang it took Darius no time in locking in a modified kneebar. Testament tapped out and was carted away on a stretcher with a damaged knee.

Edgar Whateley vs. Kenji Yamada
In a suprising upset Kenji Yamada was able to put on a strong match against Edgar Whateley, both men traded countless blows but in the end Yamada prevailed, though battered and bruised and smiling through the blood. The match was a titan and displayed the skills of both men greatly. Kenji secured the victory after hitting a mind shattering Drop The Bass, it remains to be seen what role Kenji Yamada will play at Malice.

John Styles vs. Kidd West
A match of simplicity. John Styles never stood a chance as West, accompanied by Darius Seeiso, provided a short match. With them double teaming Styles before the match even began. Styles, obviously hurting. Still fought valiantly but it wasn’t enough as West hit him with an agonisingly painful Burning Hammer from which he did not kick out.
