Chapter 7

It was time for the GCS Next Gen Tag Tournament and the small arena was filled to the brim with fans eager to see the matches, especially Kasai Tori would show up or not after the near-riot they cased at the Young Lions Tag Tournament.

Anna and James had received a certified letter at Rumble's house with their names on it. James opened it and saw that it was two front row tickets, a debit card with the pin written on a note card, and a note with the message, "I am okay, so don't worry. I just a mighty angle going on is all. Just go see me raise some hell!"

James spoke, "What the hell is he going to do now? I surprised that he hadn't been sent to jail already."

Anna spoke, "That accident four years ago must've rattled something loose in his brain."

The parents were in the front row, waiting for meeting their son again. The tournament didn't

introduce the teams as the last one. This made the couple a little nervous but all they could do was watch and wait.

The first team came out was called S and M, who was covered in leather fetish gear. They had leather masks over their faces. The first man was called Sawyer and was covered in pierces all over his face. The second man was named Maddox and his face was covered in tribal tattoos. The two men were

identical twins.

The next team came out to the ring and they were called the Honey Badgers. They were crawling to ring on all fours, dressed after the animals they were named after. The only difference between the two men’s costumes was one had number “1” while the other had number “2”

Sawyer and Badger one was in the center of the ring, as the bell rung.

Sawyer was trying to get hold unto badger one, but the wrestler was too fast running between

his legs. This goes on for more than two minutes. S and M were starting to get pissed over the honey

badgers’ silliness. The honey badger travels to the well one too many times as Sawyer kicks his foe in the face.

Badger one grabs the tip of Sawyer’s boot in his mouth and bites down hard. He tries to kick the honey badger in the head with his free foot.

Badger one lets go of Sawyer’s first foot and bites down on the attacking foot.

Maddox yells, "Come on ref!"

The referee counts, "One, two, three, four..."

The Honey badger had dodged the disqualification by stopping before the count of five.

Badger one keeps switches feet for three minutes until Sawyer has had enough. He starts to soccer kick the honey badger with his holey boots. Badger one crawls over to his tag partner and hugs him at the waist.

Sawyer tagged Maddox in and the man does a running dropkick at the kneeling at Badger One.

But the Honey Badgers both jump down to the ring floor and Maddox's feet the hard metal of the turn post. He is writhing in pain on the floor, as Badger two starts to ground and pound on top of the S and M tag members.

Maddox monkey flips his foe over the top of his head, as Badger two lands through the middle ring rope. The wrestler runs to the ring rope behind him and then races through the middle rope in front

of Badger two. He performed a flying shoulder tackle to the chest of the Honey Badger.

Badger jumped to the floor and ran over to his partner to see if he was okay.

Maddox grabs Badger one by his waist, as Sawyer raced on top of the top rope and does a flying foot stomp on top of Badger's head. Sawyer lands on top of the fourth-row fans, as the fans show their disagreement of the recent attack on the Honeybadgers.

S and M were mocking the upset fans, as they were beating down on their foes. The Honey

Badgers had enough and started to hulk up. (The wrestler gets a second wind and attacks against are either blocked, countered, or completely ineffective).

The ref is counting sixteen, seventeen”

S and M enter the ring at seventeen, while the Honey Badgers come in at eighteen.

Ref shouted, "One on one, gentleman!"

Maddox and Badger two tag in their partners.

The Honey badger jumped flatfooted on top of his foe's head and gave him flying leg scissors to Sawyer. He lands on top of the nearest turnbuckle as Badger two performs a flying headbutt on his foe, but Sawyer rolled down on the ground below. The Honey Badger's head hits cold metal and busts his forehead clean up.

Maddox does a double ax handle to the fallen badger's head from the top rope. The honey badger's mask gushes blood, as the ref forces the ringside doctor to come into the ring. The Ring forced all others away from the scene.

The doctor shakes his head, as the Ref puts his arms in an “x” position.

Badger one is carried off to the back.

Badger two is left to himself, as the enemy teams start to beat the honey badger into oblivion.

The Ref broke up the double team, but the two keep tagging in and out.

The Referee stopped the match, as Honey badger two was unable to defend himself. S and M are now victorious. The fans start to throw some trash into the ring and the tag team flip off the fans on the way to the back.

Badger two is helped to the back by two of the young boys, as the fans clap for the appreciation of the honey badger's toughness and sportsmanship.

Chapter 8

The theme music changed to some sort of hardcore rap music that praised the thug lifestyle. Two black men come out to the ring wearing heavy coats, backward ball caps, and sagging blue jeans. They were throwing up all sorts of gang signs with their colors hanging out their back pockets. Some of the fans were chanting, "Hood Rats!"

The announcer spoke, This is… Hey, give me back my wallet!”

The wrestlers had pickpocket the small man’s wallet without anyone be made the wiser.

“This is Assault and Battery, the Hood Rats!”

The fans were surprised that several wads of ten-thousand dollars hit the mat, as the duo climbed up the turnbuckle.

The men see fans pointing behind them and the Hood Rats pick up the money with a look of disdain on their faces. They rush at the announcer and forced him to back up into the ring rope.

Assault spoke, "What the hell? This is how you treat a brother?"

During the confrontation, Battery stole the watch off the target’s hand and starts to look it over in his hands.

The announcer gets free of the Hood Rat and starts to yell, "Give me my watch back."

Battery does as asked.

The announcer spoke, "The next team is the strikers, consisting of Puncher and Kicker!"

Two men in MMA gear come out and enter the ring solemnly. The hood rats attack them from behind and pull the Strikers shirts over their heads. The bell rings as the ref does all he could to break up the two-man assault.

Battery shoves the old referee into the closest turnbuckle, which was an immediate fine of one-thousand dollars to both assault and Battery.

Assault kicks the ref out of the ring with is a three-thousand dollar offense per wrestler.

Assault uses the confusion to pull out a makeshift shiv and stabs Puncher in the head.

Music plays and the promoter comes out, which is Nee-san’s father.

“You two are done today and the match is over!”

The offending tag team starts to cuss, showing their disagreement with the decision.

The promoter spoke, "And another thing, you both will be banned from wrestling here for one year and you each are fined one-hundred thousand dollars.

Several dozen wrestlers grabbed up the Hood Rats and took them off the property. The two men

were thrown into the street as if they were just trash.

Puncher had been treated for his wounds in the back, as swore to continue on in the tournament.
