Ray Hudson
Welcome, Mile High Club, to MHW in 2020. It's a new year, we have new superstars, new rivalries, new matches, brand new everything.
Wavy Crockett
We got a lot of OG stuff too.
Signs in the crowd are shown, such as: "Heart Sweats > MHW", "Drop The Belt", "Ryan Started The Firee", "I Miss Having SEX In MHW", and "Shut Up, Dana Ellis".
Ray Hudson
Most definately. And we just have an absolutely action packed night for you tonight, like only we can give ya.
Wavy Crockett
I'm still stuffed from the holidays. I spent mine with Meozha and her family.
Ray Hudson
Oh, you just putting the business out there huh?
Wavy Crockett
You'd be bragging about it too if it was you.
Ray Hudson
Well...
As the actual lyrics of "You're Going Down" by Sick Puppies begins playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp wearing her MHW Tag Team Championship. Walking beside her is her husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter.
Meozha Zhanae
The following match is the Inferno Match, and it's for the MHW ThrowDown Television Championship!!! Introducing first... she is the challenger..... weighing in at 145 pounds..... from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida....... being accompanied to the ring by Joseph Hunter... she is one half of the MHW Tag Team Champions...Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton!!!
A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in Sam's eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk.
Ray Hudson
Looks like we're starting this night off with the Inferno Match!
Wavy Crockett
Mannnn, someone is about to get caught on fire. This shit crazy!
Ray Hudson
Yeah, definately not for the weak folks at home. Someone is definately going to be caught on fire at some point. It's the only way to end this match.
When Sam finally gets in front of the ropes, she steps over the top rope.
Wavy Crockett
I just don't understand how Samantha Hamilton doesn't look nervous.
Ray Hudson
She's a warrior. And she's looking to win her first singles championship in a long time here in MHW. Let's not forget she was the inaugural ThrowDown Champion.
"Pieces of Eden" by Satan's Arrival plays and the lights slowly start to flicker. The tron lights up with a dark figure walking up some stairs. It opens a door and the tron blacks out and the music stops. A voice is heard.
"I am free again!!"
A slowed down, more hard rock version of the theme tune plays.
The top of the ramp is filled with smoke and a red spotlight appears shortly after. A bandaged face is a familiar sight, cocked to the side.
Meozha Zhanae
And her opponent... weighing in at 280 pounds..... from Parts Unknown....... he is the MHW ThrowDown Television Champion... "Trauma" Gabriel Ohio!!!
The light goes out, and a few seconds later it appears again a bit down the ramp. The face of Trauma stares, but he doesn't move. The light goes out. Shortly after the light comes back on and the face of Trauma is pressed against the camera lens.
Wavy Crockett
This dude said he doused himself in ethanol, on Twitter. He crazy crazy.
Ray Hudson
It's crazy to think how far this man has come here in MHW after that embarrassing debut match. He returns after being put on the shelf by Psycho, and wins a whole tournament that he originally wasn't even supposed to be involved in, earns a title shot of his choice, and wins the ThrowDown Title from one of the greatest superstars on MHW history. Talk about a champion.
Wavy Crockett
I don't understand why Zombie isn't the one fighting for the belt right now. Isn't she owed a rematch?
Ray Hudson
As far as I know she requested the night off.
Gabriel Ohio, holding his MHW ThrowDown Television Championship, laughs a maniacal laugh before progressing into the ring at a slow manic pace. He stands centre of the ring as it starts to rain blood on the ramp way and stage.
Match Official: Regina Ball and John Paul Vigil
MHW ThrowDown Television Championship
Inferno Match
"Trauma" Gabriel Ohio©
vs
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
The fire arrives around the ring, and the crowd let's out that familiar "oooooo". Sam looks around at the fire, while Ohio looks straight at Sam, laughing.
Sam turns her attention back to Ohio with a snarl as he laughs at her. She yells for him to "come on" and begins stepping towards him.
Ohio stops laughing and quickly runs at Sam with a big boot. Sam ducks however. Ohio turns around and grabs Sam by the throat before she can do anything to him. But then Sam grabs him by the throat at the same time. There's a power struggle.
Sam releases her hold and kicks Ohio in the gut, taking him down with a ddt. Sam looks around at the fire once more, and then goes to get Ohio back to his feet. But out of nowhere, Ohio gives her his Bloody Mary!!
Sam stumbles away, wiping her eyes, almost going right into the fire. But maybe the heat getting stronger stopped her in time with the reminder of what the ring was surrounded with.
