Alara Miles: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the Hardcore Heaven gauntlet match! And it is for the Horrorcore championship!
Fans are HYPED
Alara Miles: introducing first, the man who drew entry number one… Kuroi Hitsuji!
As candles light the ramp "Prometheus(I Am Alive)" by Symphony X begins playing and the crowd erupts as Kuroi Hitsuji emerges through the curtains, head down with his hooded vest pulled up. He slowly walks to the ring and tosses the vest off before sliding into the ring on his stomach then springing back to his feet. He poses in all four corners taking in the admiration of the fans before hopping down and waiting for the match to start.
Trey: An exciting upstart here in Revolution 1. I expect great things from him here tonight as well as going forward!
Case: Maybe, but he’ll have to get through this guy first.
Alara Miles: And his opponent, the man who drew number two… Jace! Knight! Myers!
Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish starts to play on the arena speakers, the lights down in darkness.
When we all fall asleep here do we go?
Jace finally emerges, calm, steady and silent behind by his boss, Dr. Summer Colburn. She on the other hand is bubbly and energetic, almost forcibly so. She has a clipboard with "prescriptions". After sizing up each opponent, the pair confer the prescription she shows Jace is almost always "Put to sleep".
Trey: This big man has exactly what it takes to run the table here tonight.
Case: Except… maybe the stamina...
DING DING DING!
Both men stare at each other for a moment before quickly exiting the ring and checking under the apron.
Case: Here come the toys!
Trey: These men are wasting no time in getting things started!
Myers comes up with a chair and Hitsuji, a kendo stick. They slide back in and stand off in the middle of the ring, daring the other to make a move. Kuroi blinks first, taking a swing with his kendo stick only for Myers to block it with the chair!
Jace goes on the offensive, driving the chair into his opponent’s gut before cracking him across the back with it! Hitsuji crumples down in agony!
Jace smiles. He grabs the fallen stick. He holds both objects in his hands. He begins wildly swinging both of them down onto his opponent! Kuroi covers up but still bears the brunt of the attack.
Myers tosses the objects aside and grabs Hitsuji, hoisting him up with ease. He lifts his opponent up but Kuroi counters with a kick to the big man’s head! Myers drops Kuroi. He lands on his feet and dropkicks the bigger man into the corner!
Hitsuji shakes the cobwebs out and charges. He jumps up and connects with a running high knee. He locks the head and runs out with a bulldog!

Kuroi gets to his feet while Jace crawls over to his chair. He grabs it and jumps up, but Hitsuji is slightly faster and kicks the chair out of his hands!
Kuroi punches Jace! He kicks him in the leg. A kick to the other leg. He lands strike after strike! He hits the ropes and charges at the big man!
...Only to get caught in midair by a stiffasfuck headbutt! Kuroi is wobbly but still on his feet. Myers changes that, dropping him with the Goodnight Nurse knee strike!

HITSUJI ELIMINATED
Trey: And just like that we have our first elimination!
Case: only four more to go.
Dr. Colburn smiles and claps as Jace gets to his feet. A small line of blood runs down his forehead from where his head connected with Kuroi’s. It doesn’t seem to phase him, however. He grabs the steel chair, opens it, and takes a seat, tapping the kendo stick against the ground while he waits.
212 by Azealia Banks hits. Cartier walks out to the ring, eyes set on Myers. She slides into the ring. Myers stands to face her. Cartier starts the trash talk immediately. Myers just smiles and remains silent.
Case: Oh man. This is gonna be fun.
Trey: This match is full of exciting newcomers. Either of these two would be phenomenal champions!
Jace swings first but Cartier ducks, hitting the ropes, and hits a flying dropkick, spilling Myers to the outside! She’s not done there though. Myers lands on his feet but he turns around to see Cartier diving over the top rope onto him, causing them both to tumble to the ground!
Cartier is the first to her feet. She grabs Jace but he overpowers her! He grabs her hair and tosses her into the barricade. He pulls her back to her feet and tosses her into the ring. Myers climbs onto the apron and climbs to the top rope. He goes for a diving headbutt but Cartier pulls the chair Myers had set up in front of her, making the big man collide with the seat of the chair! Myers hits hard on the mat, the stream of blood on his forehead falls a little harder after the collision.
Jace rises to his hands and knees only to be met with a hip attack from Cartier. She looks down at him, only to be distracted by Dr. Colburn on the outside. Cartier turns to look at her, forcing Colburn to stop in her tracks. Cartier bails out to confront her but the doctor begins to circle the ring to avoid her.
Cartier tails her for a few laps before she’s met with a stiff clothesline from Myers! Cartier falls flat on her back and Jace is immediately on top of her. He rains down fist after fist, busting Cartier open as well. He doesn’t stop until Colburn puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
Myers gets to his feet and watches as Cartier writhes around for a moment. She rolls onto her stomach and attempts to escape under the ring. Myers smirks and goes back on the hunt.
Jace pulls Cartier out from under the ring, only to be met with a boot to the face. Cartier springs to her feet and connects with a fist that has a thick metal chain wrapped around it!
Case: Oh!
Trey: What a shot!
Myers unconsciously rolls back into the ring, followed by Cartier. She drops the chain in exchange for the bent and dented steel chair.
Myers stands and turns to Cartier just in time for her to throw a chair into his hands and charges in with a Kinshasa knee!

MYERS ELIMINATED
Cartier holds her head in pain as she stands. A smile crosses her face as she watches Doctor Colburn help her client out of the ring. That smile vanishes when Hello Kitty by Avril Levigne hits and Ginger Snaps bursts out from the back and sprints down to the ring!
Trey: The veteran of the match! Ginger Snaps is here!
Case: She’s just crazy enough to win this match.
Snaps slides into the ring and ducks a clothesline from Cartier. She rebounds and jumps over a spear attempt. Snaps rebounds off the opposite ropes and hits a crossbody! She stays on top of her for a cover!

Snaps stands up and begins dropping with repeated elbow drops. One after the other after the other! Finally, to top off the flurry of elbows, Snaps places the remnants of the chair onto the stomach of Cartier. She leaps into the air and drops one final big elbow!
She sits up, holding her elbow after the collision with the chair. She goes for the cover!

Snaps gets up and grabs a chair. She sticks it into the corner, between the top and middle turnbuckle. She turns just in time to see Cartier charging her. Snaps leapfrogs over her. Cartier stops herself just before she collides with the chair. She back kicks Ginger in the gut then jumps on her back, flipping Snaps over with a sunset flip powerbomb!

Kickout!
Cartier scales the first two ropes and stands on the middle turnbuckle. Snaps gets to her feet just in time to get dropped back down with a pair of Meteora knees!
Cartier grabs the chain once again. She stares at it for a moment before a lightbulb goes off in her head. She flips the chain over her shoulder and proceeds to whip the fallen Snaps!
Trey: Jesus Christ!
Case: Kinky.
Ginger shrieks in pain with each strike, her back beginning to form giant, bright red and purple spots. Her body contorts and spasms when Cartier finally ceases her attack.
Cartier smirks as she wraps the chain around both hands and pulls it tight. She stomps on Snaps’ back. As she recoils back, Cartier wraps the chain tightly around Ginger’s neck and pulls tight. Snaps cries out as she tries to reopen her airways but she’s fading fast. Cartier cranks back more and more. Realizing struggling is futile, Snaps begins to claw at the mat, trying to pull herself to the ropes.
Trey: Cartier is ruthless right here! It hurts just watching this.
Case: But look at Snaps, she won’t go quietly into the night either.
Ginger barely makes it to the ropes but the ref reminds her there are no rope breaks! Snaps uses the last of her strength in an attempt to pull herself out of the ring, forcing Cartier off but she just doesn’t make it! She quickly fades before she’s able to escape. The ref raises her arm but it drops, he calls it...
SNAPS ELIMINATED
After her second elimination, Cartier stands on slightly shaky legs and rests in the corner. She rolls her eyes as Amelia Hearts’ entrance music hits.
Trey: Here comes the Goddess of Thunder!
Case: And Rock & Roll!
Been To Hell by Hollywood Undead plays and Hearts steps out, donning her Paul Stanley Starchild face paint. She smirks at Cartier before sprinting down the ramp and hitting the ring.
The two women begin exchanging strikes, going shot for shot. But Cartier’s exhaustion wins out soon enough, allowing Hearts to land one lucky shot, dropping Cartier onto her back.
Hearts smirks again and bails out, taking a look under the ring. She lugs out a table, causing the fans to go crazy at the prospect. Amelia slides the table into the ring and follows it. She goes to pick the table back up but Cartier stops her. She grabs Hearts by her hair and yanks her onto her back. She hits the ropes and recoils with a baseball slide to Amelia’s face!
While on the ground, she rolls out of the ring. She hastily tosses out some items including some trash can lids, more chairs, and an inconspicuous velvet bag. She returns to the ring and circles Hearts for a moment.
Cartier places a trash can lid onto Hearts’ face and viciously stomps down repeatedly. Hearts covers her face in pain while Cartier laughs. She bends down and taunts her by smearing her face paint
Cartier pulls Hearts to her feet into a front face lock. She lifts Amelia into a brainbuster position. She manages to hold her for a moment and walk over to one of the few chairs left in the ring. Only then does she drop Amelia down right onto her head, connecting with the solid steel!
Case: Damn! Hearts has to be done after that.
Trey: The strength of Cartier is unreal!

Cartier looks up, shocked. She confirms with the referee that the count was, in fact, two. She smacks the mat in frustration as she stands and makes her way to the top rope. She glares down at Hearts as she jumps, hitting a perfect flip and landing a spectacular moonsault!
Case: Look at that!
Trey: A thing of beauty!
Another cover!

Kickout!
Cartier sighs in frustration. The tenacity of Amelia already getting to her. She looks down at the fallen woman. A familiar thought runs through her mind as her eyes drift to the chain. She snags the chain and wraps it around her fists again. She climbs onto Amelia’s back and wraps the chain around her neck. But Hearts comes to her senses just in time. She squirms out from under Cartier before she can react and stomps down on her head, sending her facefirst into her own chain!
Hearts gets to her feet, spitting a bit of blood from her mouth as she drags Cartier to her feet. She screams into her face and slaps it as hard as she can. She kicks her opponent in the gut and slams her facefirst onto the table!
Amelia lays Cartier out onto the table. She delivers another stiff strike before beginning to climb to the top rope. The fans erupt into cheers as they anticipate what’s about to happen. She looks down, holds up the devil’s horns, and leaps off, hitting her Stagedive coffin drop!
Case: DAMN!
Trey: Hearts is going all out for this championship!

CARTIER ELIMINATED
Amelia sits up in the pile of table shards, clutching her back in pain after the coffin drop. She looks towards the entranceway, awaiting her final opponent.
Kingdom by Downstait hits and out comes Dorian Rhodes. He matches down to the ring, slides inside, and stares Hearts down, allowing her to get to her feet. Once she stands, the ref calls for the bell
DING DING DING!
Dorian strikes too quickly for Hearts to react. He hits her with a palm strike. A punch to the gut. An uppercut to Hearts’ jaw. A punch to the face! Finished off with a spinning heel kick! Amelia goes down!
Case: Damn!
Trey: Exhaustion already showing in Hearts. That’s the advantage of entering this match last!
Rhodes goes for the cover!

Kickout!
Trey: Woah!
Case: No quit in The Nighttime Queen yet!
Rhodes smirks as he sits up. He nods as he stands, grabs a chair, and lines it up with her head. He raises the chair and prepares to strike, but Amelia manages to kick his leg out from under him! He drops the chair as he prioritizes maintaining his balance. Hearts kips up and wraps her legs around his neck, applying a choke of sorts! She brings him down to his knees, only then does she release, backward somersaulting to her feet. She hits the ropes and connects with a running hip attack! She smirks as the fans go crazy for the fan service.
Hearts slowly meanders over to the velvet bag. She unties the string and looks inside. She looks up, a sick smile on her face. She stands up and holds the bag out in front of her. She dumps the contents onto the map and the fans go ballistic when they see the silver raining down…
Trey: Oh no. Those aren’t
Case: Hahaha yes! Thumbtacks!
The glittery silver push pins litter the ground. Amelia turns to Rhodes. She slinks behind him and prepares for a Heartburn kick. She charges but Dorian dodges, just ducking underneath. Hearts looks down at the bottoms of her boots, which are now covered with tacks. He looks with surprise on his face when he finally notices the tacks.
He shakes off the shock and charges at Hearts but she almost counters with a drop toehold but Rhodes just barely keeps his balance, avoiding receiving a face full of pins! Instead, he stomps hard on Amelia’s legs, forcing her to cry out in pain and hold onto one of her ankles.
Dorian claims the kendo stick from one corner and holds it up, as if contemplating what to do with it. Finally, he shrugs and strikes down onto Amelia, cracking her in the ribs with the stick! Hearts clutches her gut
Rhodes growls in frustration. He forces Hearts to her feet and picks her up into a suplex position!
Trey: He’s looking for that brainbuster!
Case: Not quite!
Hearts squirms free from Rhodes and lands on her feet. Rhodes turns around right into a perfect superkick from the Twisted Sister! Hearts wastes no time, she screams Dorian to get up!
Trey: This doesn’t look good for Dorian!
Amelia goes for Heartburn again but Dorian drops underneath and kicks the back of her knee, dropping her down to one knee. Rhodes hits the ropes in front of Hearts and connects with a shining wizard!
The cover!

Kickout!
Rhodes looks down at Hearts and shakes his head. He gets to his feet and climbs to the top rope. He measures Amelia but she’s just a touch too fast. She gets to her feet, climbs to the top, and suplexes Rhodes off! He flies off back first into the pile of thumbtacks below!
Rhodes writhes in pain as the thumbtacks dig into his back. Hearts looks down, a slight cringe on her face. She steels herself, preparing for another Stagedive…
But before she can jump, she’s forcefully shoved off the top rope to the outside!
Case: What the hell!
Trey: Who is that?!
The hooded figure, wearing a gas mask, jumps down from the apron, sauntering over to Hearts, who is using the barricade to pull herself up. The masked man charges as she stands and connects with a v-trigger knee strike to her face!
He picks her back up and bends her backward, hitting her with a Sister Abigail facebuster! He looks down at her for a moment as a chorus of boos rain down on him.
Trey: What the hell is going on??
Case: Wait, shut up. Look!
The man pulls down the hood and unstraps the mask. He pulls it down to reveal…
Trey: Derrick Vayden?! What is he doing here??
Case: Beating Amelia Hearts down, obviously.
Security surrounds Vayden, who raises his hands in surrender. The officers walk him back up the ramp, the crowd viciously booing all the while, just as Hearts begins to stir. Derrick makes sure to smirk and blow a kiss in her direction as she pulls herself back into the ring…
Right into a Simply Startling DDT from Rhodes!

WINNER: DORIAN RHODES
Dorian Rhodes stands up, wincing with every movement. The referee checks on him as he hands him the championship belt. Rhodes smiles and holds the title up high.
Trey: Just like that, thanks to Derrick Vayden, we have a new Horrorcore champion!
Case: Oh shut up, Dorian did that all on his own! Good for him!
Trey: I don’t even think Dorian knows what happened just yet!
Rhodes continues to celebrate as he exits the ring and walking up the ramp. Pausing at the top, he raises the title high once more.
