Biff Franklin: There’s no countouts in these matches but again, there’s also a 40-minute time limit.
Rottentreats gets up on the ring apron and Atara goes after him but he grabs her by the back of the head and drops down, clotheslining her on the top rope and sending her crashing to the mat. He slides in under the ring and begins to put the boots to Themis.
Christine Donahue: Rottentreats has finally gotten some momentum in this match.
He pulls her up and pokes her in the eyes as she staggers back against the ropes. Rottentreats charges at her and they both tumble over the top rope and to the floor.
Biff Franklin: Looks like Themis may have cracked her head against the metal guardrail on the outside there.
Rottentreats gets to his feet and he climbs up onto the ring apron. He climbs into the ring and as Atara gets to her feet, he rebounds off the ropes, dives between the ropes, and crashes right into her on the outside.
Christine Donahue: I feel like everyone completely underestimated Mr. Rottentreats in this tournament, but he has put on a great show here tonight.
He gets up and we see he may have hit his head on the guardrail as he now has a cut over his eye. He rolls her into the ring and slides in and covers for a cover, but only gets a two count.
Biff Franklin: Hold on! Atara Themis just grabs an arm and locks it in.
Rottentreats flails about as she clamps down on that arm lock. He reaches towards the ropes, but she pulls him back away from it and flips him over on his back and she locks her legs around and just pulls back hard.
Christine Donahue: This one could be over just like that!
The pain etched across the painted face of the clown as he flops around on the mat until he’s finally able to place a big boot under the ropes and the referee calls for the break.
Biff Franklin: I really thought this one was over.
Themis pulls Rottentreats to his feet and whips him into the ropes. It looks like she may go for a backdrop, but Rottentreats comes off with a giant boot right to her head, dropping her to the mat.
Christine Donahue: She’s already hit her head once. This doesn’t look good. What’s he doing now?
Rottentreats is up quickly. He grabs her from behind and hooks a leg and lifts her up and drops back, driving her head into the ground.
Biff Franklin: Holy crap. Some kind of fisherman style belly to back suplex or brainbuster or something, but she landed on her damn head.
Cover by Rottentreats.
One.
Two.
Three!!!
The bell rings.
Madoka Kawada: The winner of the match, advancing to the finals! Mr. Rottentreats!
Christine Donahue: He’s going to have to get that cut over his eye checked out but he has some time as we have one more second-round match and our championship match to go. We will be right back!
Madoka Kawada: This match is one fall. It is the final match of the second round of the Triad Challenge. The winner will join Morgan Payne, KPN, and Mr. Rottentreats in the final match. Introducing first…
“Green Light Go” plays again across the arena.
Madoka Kawada: This is the “War Queen” Leah!
Leah makes her way down the ramp and slides into the ring. She climbs up onto the turnbuckle and flashes the War Queen W.
Madoka Kawada: And her opponent…
“Chip” by the Real McKenzies begins to play as Bruce McLeod walks onto the stage and heads to the ring.
Madoka Kawada: Please welcome, Bruce McLeod!
He climbs the ring steps and ducks into the ring and throws a few shadow punches before retiring to his corner.
Christine Donahue: This is it. The ending of this match will determine the finals of the Triad Challenge. Leah has been a rising star in this business and a busy one at that over the past year and Bruce is looking to make a statement after years in this business.
Biff Franklin: Unfortunately, there’s only room for one so which one will it be?
The bell rings and immediately these two competitors rush to the center of the ring and begin to throw hands at each other. After an exchange, Leah pushes him away from her and drives a boot right into his midsection, then she grabs him by the head and drives a knee right into his forehead.
Biff Franklin: Well, shit. This got off to a violent start. That knee has already opened up a cut over the eye of McLeod.
Leah runs off the ropes and is nailed hard by a spinning back fist that causes her to stumble backward and fall through the ropes and to the floor. McLeod checks his forehead before stalking out of the ring and to the floor.
Christine Donahue: These two are not letting up at all here.
Bruce grabs a hold of Leah as she’s getting to her feet and he propels her forward towards the ringpost but Leah reverses it and Bruce crashes right into it.
Biff Franklin: If he wasn’t already busted open, he sure would be now.
The camera catches Bruce as he crawls up the ring apron and his face is a bloody mess. The referee is encouraging them to get back into the ring but is otherwise helpless as Leah moves around the ring to where Bruce is. She grabs him by the head and slams it down into the edge of the ring.
She pulls him up and whips him across the floor and into the guardrail. She charges in after him but as she gets close, he lifts her up and over the rail and crashing into the first two rows of chairs, causing them to scatter and she lands on the concrete with a thud.
Christine Donahue: These two are going on all here, but I can’t help but question this strategy. You might need to save some of that for the finals.
Biff Franklin: You gotta make it to the finals.
Bruce gingerly steps over the rail and picks up a steel chair. He lifts it high and as he brings it crashing down, Leah scrambles out of the way and he connects with another chair, immediately dropping it and grabbing at his hands. Leah crawls over the rail and back into the ringside area. She reaches across and grabs Bruce and pulls him over as well.
Christine Donahue: The referee is trying to get these two back in the ring, but they have other plans. At some point, they’ll have to return, but until then the referee can do absolutely nothing about this unless one of them has been rendered unable to continue.
Leah staggers over and pulls up the apron curtain to look under the ring and as she does, Bruce gets to his feet and charges at her and just crashes right into her causing her head to smash into the steel ring steps.
Biff Franklin: Looks like the War Queen is busted open now as well. The Splat medics are going to be working overtime tonight.
Bruce goes to pull up Leah, but she clocks him in the gut, getting some distance. She goes in behind, lifts him up and drops him crotch first on the rail as the fans in the building ‘ooooo’. Bruce falls from the rail onto the floor and Leah pulls him up and rolls him into the ring.
Christine Donahue: At least we’re getting things back inside the ring. Wait a second…
Leah is up on the apron and it looks like she’s measuring him up for something.
Biff Franklin: She’s about to drop the
