Deadbeat and Fiasco are lounging backstage in the lockerroom area, watching some cartoons on holovision. A loud thud is heard from somewhere outside the room, causing Fiasco to jump up.Fiasco: You hear that, DB?
Deadbeat grunts at being interrupted and stands up. He opens the door cautiously and looks around.Deadbeat: It's nothin', kid.
Fiasco: DB...
A knife is stuck to the door, holding a folded piece of paper in place. Deadbeat yanks it down, opens it up, and glares at it for a moment.Deadbeat: Hmm.
Fiasco: What is it?!
Deadbeat crumples up the note and tosses it over his shoulder.Deadbeat: Just as I figured. The Yakuza are here to either collect what we owe - with interest - or they say they're going to murder us in the ring.
Worry stuns Fiasco into silence, while Deadbeat goes back to the holotoons.

GALERA VS. ZIPPO
What a match to start things off in a violent direction! Galera is tough-as-nails and Zippo is insane... perfect! Galera spends most of the match biting, clawing, stomping, and all-around punishing Zippo. Zippo was a bloody mess not too long into the match, staining the new and pristine FSW mat crimson! Galera whipped out his chain at one point and whipped Zippo all over the ring! Several times after assaulting Zippo, Galera nailed the Choke Bomb, but Zippo refused to lose! A frustrated Galera let his guard down and Zippo took control by using a fallaway slam from the apron to the hard ground outside!!! Zippo rolled Galera back into the ring and grabbed something from underneath the ring... A CAN OF GASOLINE! Zippo perched himself on the top rope and doused his vest in gas as the crowd chants "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"!! A match is ignited, and then so is his vest, and Zippo nails the Funeral Pyre on Galera!!! While his vest burns (and Galera rolls around in agony), Zippo stomps Galera in the face and pins him with one foot! 1-2-3 and Zippo wins!
FSW crew flood the ring and extinguish the fire, while some attend to a singed Galera. Pissed that the fire is out, Zippo starts busting heads and clears the ring! Zippo grabs the can of gas and goes back over to Galera. He starts pouring it all over him! Galera chokes on gasoline, as some gets into his mouth and nose! Zippo smiles like a lunatic as he lights his lighter!! Bastille storms into the ring and spears Zippo violently to the mat! Bastille lays into him with punches and headbutts! Zippo manages to roll away (Bastille is left with his vest in his hand), dripping blood through the crowd and out of sight.

FSW Commissioner Xavier Task is seated in a viewing room in the upper decks of the arena, watching the events that have just unfolded and shaking his head. Behind him is Hammurabi, who was left off the card.Hammurabi: What is worrying you, Mr. Task?
Task: I brought you in to maintain order, and I hoped you and others would help turn things toward a more acceptable level of content. I've agreed to this card, and I've failed you and the others.
Hammurabi: No sir, what is happening now could turn to our advantage. We could easily weed out the troublemakers based on who we have... certain people wrestle. And in what sort of match.
Task: Perhaps you're right.
Task sighs and puts his face in his hands. A knock comes to the door. Before Hammurabi can answer, MORDER walks into the room flanked by Vudu and Eddie Dean!Morde: Commissioner, is this a bad time?
Task is up and turns to Morde.Task: Yes, what is it?
Morde: I just wanted to wish you and yours good luck in the upcoming matches. You have some tough men fighting for you, Xavier. I just hope you know what you're getting them into.
Hammurabi: We will be just fine.
Morde glares at Hammurabi, murder in his eyes. He isn't used to being talked to so directly without his intiating consequences. Vudu whispers something in his ear, but Morde calms and waves him off.Morde: You should get your dogs on a leash, Commissioner. I think you'll come to realize once you leave the safety of the porch, Hammurabi, your world will be turned upside down... and you, perhaps, inside out. Gentlemen.
The three leave without pleasantries. Hammurabi doesn't seem fazed by the threat, and Task returns his face to his hands with a groan.

LEATHER HYDE vs. EXILE
Leather Hyde looks like a monster, tearing Exile apart and finishing him with two Seek and Destroys! Exile is dominated in impressive fashion after taking Wladek the Impaler to the limit. Could Leather Hyde be capable of taking down the FSW's best?
DORADO HANGMEN (Lynch & Scrag) vs. VUDU & EDDIE DEAN
Last card Vudu hospitalized Sneer by gut wrench powerbombing his out of the ring and through a table! Lynch and Scrag are looking for vengeance, but they're faced with an intimidating duo. The massive Lynch starts things off and mixes it up with Vudu. He is out for blood! He managed to lift him up and drop him onto the turnbuckle with Elevator To the Gallows, nearly knocking him out! Lynch picks Vudu up, props him against the turnbuckle and charges into him with a big boot, nearly taking his head off! The FSW crowd is going nuts! Lynch once again hits Elevator To the Gallows and Eddie Dean comes in to save his teammate. Dean lariats Lynch to one knee, and Vudu tags Dean in.
Lynch is all over Dean as well, but then Scrag wanted some! Dean uses his speed to outmatch Scrag. Dean plays to the crowd with each brutal move! The crowd mostly boos (except for those fiending for any sort of violence) as Eddie Dean nails Hit the Can! Dean nails the Extreminator and covers 1...2... kickout at 2.9!!! Dean does the slit throat expression and quickly hits the Explunger!!! 1...2... LYNCH comes in and punts Dean's head in! Dean and Scrag both climb to their feet. Vudu tosses Dean a trash can and WHAM, Scrag is down like a ton of bricks! Vudu storms the ring to intercept Lynch as Dean covers! 1...2.....3! Eddie Dean and Vudu win! They clean house and leave to a rain of trash!

Before his match, Wladek the Impaler has a mic and has something to say as Deadbeat smokes a cigarette in the corner.Wladek: I just say this one think! F-S-Double-You referee cheated Wladek! I beat puny Exile and now I take my revenge on even punier Deadman!
Wladek walks over to the ref, trapping him in the corner.Wladek: 3 is no 2! 2 is no 3! DO YOU UNDERSTAND, LITTLE REFEREE!?!
Deadbeat walks over and taps Wladek on the shoulder. Wladek snarls and turns to him, snatching the cigarette from Deadbeat's mouth! Wladek PUTS THE CIGARETTE OUT ON DEADBEAT'S FOREHEAD! The crowd and referee wince, but Deadbeat just winks at the big man!

WLADEK THE IMPALER vs. DEADBEAT
Wladek is furious at being shown up and doesen't let Deadbeat get in a SINGLE MOVE! The few times he tried, Wladek overpowered Deadbeat and tossed him violently to the mat. Several big moves later a sit-out powerbomb knocks Deadbeat out and the referee quickly counts to 3, then gets out of the ring. Wladek pounds his chest and yells. Exile is out and pushes Wladek in the chest. Wladek pushes back! The crowd goes wild as the two men start pounding away with punches, neither man going down! FSW officials break up the melee! Wladek: "I'm going to kill you, Gladiator! You are nothink!"
