[Fade into a shot of Tom Holzerman standing in front of the Big Screen showing Ravager and Cameron Cruise trading chops.]
TH: Second round action, and it was just as hot as the first round, exemplified by Ravager and Cameron Cruise, plus more. Welcome to EPICENTER!
[Cue up "Down" by Stone Temple Pilots.
Cut to JASON PAYNE, shouting out in primal fury with a man's blood as his war paint.
Cut to ROCKO DAYMON whipping ULYSIS SOLIAN off the ropes.
Cut to RAVAGER rolling out of the way of a ROB FRANKLIN top rope headbutt.
Cut to MUNSON MONSOON tossing HIGH FLYER out of the FREE FOR ALL~! ring.
Cut to DAN RYAN hoisting the Merrit Trophy, then flash cut to NOVA with the Harvard Avalon Memorial Trophy held by his side, then flash cut to The A-List hoisting the Dupree Cup.
Cut to: The Epicenter logo once more, fading into Tom Holzerman and Steve Murray at the EPICENTER desk.]
TH: Hello everybody, and welcome to TEAM EPICENTER for the Orlando and Minneapolis brackets of this tournament. I’m Tom Holzerman...
SM: And I’m Steve Murray.
[Cut to Holzerman in front of a Ravager/Cameron Cruise inset.]
TH: Ravager is the second seed in the London bracket this year. He got there by solidifying his rep in TEAM with his epic Challenge Championship reign, defeating some of the top wrestlers in the sport today. Add that in with his successes North of the Border in New Alberta and in Hornet Country in Rebel, and you'd think he'd be satisfied, right? Well, that's not exactly the case. Ravager still wants an extended run in this tournament. Would he get his wish, or would the seventh-seeded Cameron Cruise block him much like the freight train known as Fusenshoff did last year?
[Cut to the ring at Patrick Gym in Burlington, VT.]
TH V/O: The match started with Ravager behind the eight-ball, looking like an upset victim just in last year's tournament. Cruise starts off strong with chops reminiscent of his former tag team partner Joey Melton.
[Cut to Cruise bouncing off the ropes.]
TH V/O: Things didn't get much better from there as Cruise comes in like a missile and drills Ravager with the leaping clothesline. Ravager to the mat and out of ideas early on in the match.
[Cut to Cruise with his arms wrapped around a bent over Ravager's waist.]
TH V/O: The early onslaught continues as the Crippler just folds Ravager up like an accordian with the gutwrench suplex.
[Cut to Cruise with Ravager in a rear waistlock near the ropes.]
TH V/O: Ravager gets a little counteroffensive going. He breaks out of what would have been an early nail in the coffin in this match, a German suplex INTO the turnbuckle. He swings around and drills Cruise into the turnbuckles with a desperation spear, staving off defeat there.
[Cut to Cruise whipping Ravager into the ropes.]
TH V/O: That offensive was short-lived as Ravager couldn't keep the offense coming. Cruise here back in control here with a tilt-a-whirl side slam.
[Cut to Ravager running the ropes.]
TH V/O: Ravager on the comeback trail though, in a big way, here with a flying forearm right to the bridge of Cruise's nose.
[Cut to Ravager behind Cruise.]
TH V/O: Here he asserts himself further with a mean German suplex.
[Cut to Ravager whipping Cruise off the ropes.]
TH V/O: The former NAP-Dub Champ not letting up, dropping Cruise with a drop toe hold that he transitions seamlessly and viciously into an elbow drop to the back of the neck.
[Cut to Ravager behind a staggered Cruise.]
TH V/O: And it looks like Ravager's got this thing locked up, nailing Cruise with a bulldog.
[Cut to Cruise with Ravager in a double underhook.]
TH V/O: But after a botched Shining Wizard attempt, Ravager was back under the gun, and Cruise nails him here with the butterfly suplex.
[Cut to Cruise with Ravager over the shoulder.]
TH V/O: And he's looking to finish Ravager with the Emerald Fusion, but Ravager slips off the back, turns Cruise around, kicks him in the gut and... STIFF brainbuster! Cruise is out, and Ravager gets the pinfall, advancing into the Sweet 16. Steve?
[Cut to Shawn Hart looking on at Olvir Arsvinnar at the Maples Pavilion.]
SM V/O: Moving cross-country to Stanford, the second seed in the LA bracket, Shawn Hart, looking to take out the pornographic Viking and seventh seed, Olvir Arsvinnar, and he's got a good jump on him early, nailing him with an elbow to the head whilst the only Nordic marauder-slash-porn star in wrestling preens to his wenches.
[Cut to Arsvinnar clubbing Hart across the back.]
SM V/O: Arsvinnar coming right back, overpowering Hart's jiggy-freshness with those meaty forearms.
[Cut to Arsvinnar with Hart up in vertical suplex position.]
SM V/O: And here, look at the elevation Olvir gets on this suplex. All that blood rushing to Hart's head before Arsvinnar slams him down with the delayed suplex.
[Cut to Hart lining up his elbow.]
SM V/O: You can't keep a good cross-dresser down though, and Hart, last year's semifinalist from Portland, conks Arsvinnar in the coconut with El Codo Explosivo~! (Bionic elbow)
[Cut to Arsvinnar whipping Hart into the ropes.]
SM V/O: But in the end, Olvir's brute strength was too much for Hart to overcome. Clubbing Mjolnir Blow (Polish Hammer) to the chest of a running Hart with EXPLOSIVE force, almost caving in Hart's chest there. Olvir gets the pin and the upset victory.
[Cut to the Liacouras Center in Philly.]
SM V/O: Let's head back to the East Coast, this time in Philly as London's third seed Larry Tact battles the eleventh seed and newly christened American Idol Frankie Scott. Tact starts the match off on the offensive, with the lariat on the Idol.
[Cut to Tact behind Scott.]
SM V/O: And Tact, showing a mix of technical prowess and pure power with the side slam out of the ab stretch.
[Cut to Scott whipping Tact off the ropes.]
SM V/O: Scott gets some offense in, whipping Tact off the ropes here and nailing him with the back body drop.
[Cut to Scott in front of a staggered Tact.]
SM V/O: The Idol looks to impress more than just Simon here kicking Tact in the gut and spiking him with a DDT.
[Cut to Tact with Scott in a front facelock and hooked leg.]
SM V/O: But in the end, it was all Larry Tact. Fisherman set up into a vicious neckbreaker mid-height. He calls it the Starbreaker, I call it victory. Now, after the pinfall, a flying squirrel came out of nowhere and clawed Tact in the face. Tact ripped the rodent off his face with little injury. It was noted that the squirrel had a mini American Idol tee-shirt on... proof that it was meant to interfere in the match. It just came too late. Anyway that result sets up a date with destiny with Ravager at the O2 Arena in London, and that already sounds like a salivating matchup.
[Cue up Led Zeppelin, "No Quarter." Cut to Lindsay Troy staring down Ace Mason.]
TH V/O: Coming up after the break, London's first seed, Lindsay Troy, looks to take out a quarterfinalist from last year. Plus, more action from all the regions. EPICENTER will return.
[Cut to a commercial for Geico, because the Gecko is just so damn sexy.]
