-The pyro blasts off, the fans cheer louder than ever knowing the Proving Grounds in near-
Dr. Whooves: Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to this edition of Sublime, where Proving Grounds is just around the corner. Tonight's line up includes a last minute number one contender's match to determine who will face Thunderlane for the World Brawler's Chamionship and the semi-finals of the World Fighter's Championship tournament.
*Redacted Theme*
-Crowd boos-
Discord: And here comes our Sublime Tag Team Champions, Beauty Shot.
-Photo Finish and Pretty Vision enter the ring, proudly wearing their title belts-
Photo Finish: Oh no, please, do not let me interrupt your petty booing. It's amusing to me.
-Chants of "You Suck! You Suck! You Suck!" are heard, but eventually die down as they get no further reaction from Photo Finish-
Photo Finish: Now that you all have finally shut your ugly mouths, it's my turn to speak. I have graced you all with my presence in the ring so you may bask in the success of Sublime's dominant and only notable tag team. As I'm sure you all have seen, this show is seriously lacking in the tag team talent department. Let's take one look at our other teams: The Ghost Girls? Pathetic...they can't fight, they have no good looks to show off, and lastly there is no reason for anybody to care about them. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch? They have a minor amount of fighting ability, but are oh so stupid. I could outwit them every single week if necessary. Oh, and let's not forget Beauty Shot's opponents for the upcoming Pay-Per-View, Aloe and Lotus Blossom. The most pathetic of them all, they care more about their well polished nails then they do about winning, they wouldn't of even gotten to this point without our help. Defeating them will be the easiest thing yet.
*Redacted Theme*
Dr. Whooves: Thank God, here comes Octavia and Vinyl Scratch to shut this woman up.
Vinyl Scratch: What are you out here bragging about Photo Finish? You've only had ONE victory, and you cheated to get it.
Photo Finish: It's still one more victory than you two have earned so far. Also our, quote un-quote, "Cheating" is what got us this. *Taps Title belt*
Pretty Vision: Yeah, we deserve these!
Photo Finish: Silence, I will handle this.
Pretty Vision: Sorry...
Vinyl Scratch: Why don't you let her talk? She seems a lot smarter than you are.
Photo Finish: I'd like to see if you have the nerve to insult me from inside the ring.
Vinyl Scratch: Have it your way. -Her and Octavia begin approaching the ring-
Discord: Very bad idea. I already know how this is going to go down.
Dr. Whooves: Care to enlighten us?
Discord: That would be spoiling.
-Vinyl Scratch and Octavia enter the ring-
Vinyl Scratch: Alright, you want insults? You're nothing but a cheating hack, I don't think you could win a single match without doing something dirty, and Octavia and I are going to prove that tonight. We've already went to General Manager Celestia, and we're facing you in the main event tonight.
Photo Finish: I look forward to it. *Removes title belt* But I'd like to see how well you fight after this.
-Photo Finish swings her title belt at Vinyl Scratch, but she ducks under and hits *Redacted*, Pretty Vision tries to get away in confusion but is hit by *Redacted* from Octavia-
Dr. Whooves: I think this is the first time on Sublime we've seen Beauty Shot not in control, tonight's main event could end up being a big momentum breaker for them. Although Octavia was strangely quiet during all this time.
Discord: She didn't have the chance to talk because Vinyl wouldn't shut her big mouth.
Dr. Whooves: Let's just hope her speaking ability isn't any indication of her wrestling ability tonight. Regardless, it's nearly time for our first match. A rematch of a battle from week one, where Braeburn and Happy Trails defeated Canterlot Class to become the number one contenders for the Combos of Carnage tag team titles. A win here tonight will certainly grant some momentum.
Discord: Which they already started to build on this week's edition of Monday night Lunacy.
-A replay of Braeburn and Happy Trail's attack on EGO from Lunacy plays on the titantron-
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: Approaching the ring, at a combined weight of 398 pounds, Canterlot Class!
Dr. Whooves: Here comes Canterlot Class, and both Prince Blueblood and Hoity Toity look hungry for revenge.
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined 409 pounds, the team of Braeburn and Happy Trails!
-Braeburn and Happy Trails make their way down to the ring, clearly having the fans behind them-
Match 1: Canterlot Class vs. Braeburn and Happy Trails
*9 Minutes later*
-Braeburn and Happy Trails are on the verge of victory when Hoity Toity pushes the referee out of the ring from behind, temporarily knocking him out, Prince Blueblood then hits Happy Trails upside the head with his scepter, Braeburn moves in to help his partner but is hit with *Redacted* by Hoity Toity, the ref gets back up and re-enters the ring as Prince Blueblood pins Happy Trails-
*1...2...3!*
-Loud booing-
Announcer: Here are your winners, Canterlot Class!
Dr. Whooves: Well, as cheap of a revenge as it was, Canterlot Class has won their rematch.
Discord: There's no better way to win than cheaply. Who wants a costly victory?
-Canterlot Class exits the ring with arrogant smirks plastered on their faces-
*Commercial*
-The camera cuts to backstage where Babs Seed is sitting on a sofa, casually sipping soda and watching TV, Commander Hurricane enters the room-
Commander Hurricane: Attention peasant, I have a job for you.
Babs Seed: Huh? Oh it's you...what do ya want?
Commander Hurricane: I have a rather large gladiator match to deal with at the gathering this Sunday, with 9 other opponents I may require reinforcements. Time to repay your debt.
Babs Seed: Awww...what's da matter? Big bad warrior needs her hand held? Get ya guards to do it, there's nothin' in this deal for me.
-Commander Hurricane grabs Babs Seed by the collar of her shirt and lifts her into the air, spilling her soda in the process-
Commander Hurricane: Do not cross me you fool...I could easily do to you the same thing I did to your rival.
Babs Seed: Ok...ok...I'll help ya if ya need it...just put me down...Jesus Christ.
-Commander Hurricane roughly drops Babs Seed-
Commander Hurricane: Remember your place. -Walks out-
-Babs Seed sits there looking ruffled and frowns down at what's left of her drink-
Babs Seed: She spilled my soda...
*She felt the wind and longed to follow*
Announcer: The following match is scheduled for one fall, approaching the ring, accompanied by Soarin, standing six foot tall and weighing 159 pounds, from Cloudsdale, Spitfire!
-Spitfire and Soarin make their way down to the ring together-
Spitfire: Try to pay attention to the MATCH this time and maybe you might actually WIN your next one.
Soarin: Hey now...I...uhhh...umm...yeah, I got nothing to argue with.
-Spitfire kisses Soarin and then enters the ring-
Soarin: She tells me to pay attention to the match and then she does THAT.
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: Approaching the ring, from Loneyville, standing five foot, seven inches tall and weighing in at 150 pounds, Nurse Redheart!
Match 2: Spitfire vs. Nurse Redheart
*5 minutes later*
-Spitfire hits *Redacted* on Nurse Redheart and pins-
*1...2...3!*
Announcer: Here is your winner, Spitfire!
-Spitfire slides out of the ring-
Spitfire: Hope you watched and learned.
Soarin: Oh yeah, I payed real good attention...*Mumbles* but not to the match. Hehe.
Dr. Whooves: What a dominant performance by Spitfire tonight, she'll be one to watch in that Battle Royal at Proving Grounds.
Discord: Pfftt...like anyone could be Commander Hurricane.
Dr. Whooves: Why Commander Hurricane?
Discord: She is supreme overlord, or over-lady, whatever...
Dr. Whooves: Oh please.
*Now trending on Twitter: #SpilledSoda #CanterlotClass #"Paying attention"*
Discord: About to begin is our number one contender's match for the World Brawler's Championship, and I heard rumors we have a rather unique wrestler debuting tonight.
Dr. Whooves: As if we don't have enough "unique" characters already.
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: And now approaching the ring, from Manhattan, weighing in at 197 pounds, standing five foot, seven inches tall, Pipsqueak!
-Pipsqueak enters the ring dressed up like a pirate, eye-patch and all, there's a few cheers, but mostly laughs-
Discord: Oh would you look at that? A British Pirate!
Dr. Whooves: Just shut up.
-The sound of flames fill the arena, followed by vaguely creepy music in the background, Doughnut Joe enters the arena with a "glazed over" look in his eyes,behind him he pulls something on wheels covered by a giant table cloth-
Dr. Whooves: Is that Doughnut Joe? The hell? And I thought Pipsqueak was our "unique wrestler"!
Discord: This will undoubtedly be good.
Match 3: Pipsqueak vs. Doughnut Joe
Dr. Whooves: It looks like were now being joined by the current World Brawler's Champion, Thunderlane.
Thunderlane: Don't mind me, I'm just here to watch the freak-show.
Discord: Which one of these two would you be more scared to end up in the ring with at Proving Grounds?
Thunderlane: Scared isn't the right word Discord, I might be confused by all the weirdness for a moment, but I will not be for one second intimidated by either of them.
*12 minutes later*
-Pipsqueak is hit by *Pre-Heat!* and is stumbling backwards, giving Doughnut Joe the chance to hit *Baker's Dozen* on him, Pipsqueak goes down and Doughnut Joe takes the pin-
*1...2...3*
Announcer: Here's your winner, and the number one contender for the World Brawler's Championship, Dou-
-Doughnut Joe takes the mic away from the announcer-
Doughnut Joe: I am not Doughnut Joe...from now on I will be known as...the Underrrrrr Bakerrrrrr!
-Under Baker leaves the ring and removes the table cloth from the thing he rolled in, revealing a giant fake oven filled with doughnuts and other assorted pastries, he then re-enters the ring and picks up Pipsqueak, proceeding to toss him into the oven-
Under Baker: Rrrrrrest...in...PASTRIES!
-Under Baker suddenly turns around and gives Thunderlane a creepy smile-
Thunderlane: Uhhh...I just remembered I had a really important thing to get to...I'll be going now.
-Thunderlane leaves as Under Baker continues to be creepy-
Dr. Whooves: That was the most bizarre thing I've yet seen on Sublime.
Discord: I'm glad Under Baker showed up, finally somebody I can relate to!
Dr. Whooves: You should quit commentary and join him in a tag team.
Discord: Nah, somebody has to balance your BORING blabbing out.
*Commercial*
-Commander Hurricane enters Celestia's office backstage-
Commander Hurricane: You summoned me?
Celestia: Yes, I did. We have a few things to discuss.
Commander Hurricane: Like your surrendering command of Sublime to me?
Celestia: Not in this life. Sit down.
-Commander Hurricane sneers but takes a seat-
Celestia: There's been some...concern...from your fellow wrestlers about your behavior backstage.
Commander Hurricane: They should be concerned, but what exactly are they crying about?
Celestia: Apparently you don't do much but walk around with your guards aggressively intimidating others to try and get what you want.
Commander Hurricane: And? I'm trying to establish dominance, I'm not the only one.
Celestia: True, but nobody else here or on Lunacy has a pack of armored guards with weapons. I just wanted to let you know that I've decided that your guards will be banned from ringside at Proving Grounds.
Commander Hurricane: What? How dare you?! You don't have the authority!
Celestia: I have every authority. I am General Manager, your rank means nothing "Commander".
Commander Hurricane: Grrrrrr...fine! I have a backup plan installed anyways.
-Commander Hurricane storms out of the office, Celestia returns to her paperwork undisturbed-
-The camera switches to backstage, just behind the arena, where Rainbow Dash and Applejack meet up-
Applejack: Ah had the feelin' ah'd be runnin' into ya sometime durin' this tournament.
Rainbow Dash: Honestly I'd much rather be fighting Trixie, but at least you'll put up a better fight. It'll make a more awesome victory to go into Proving Grounds with.
Applejack: Pfttt..ya speak like you're actually gonna win.
Rainbow Dash: Of course I will, you might be a friend, but I'm going all in.
Applejack: We'll see about that.
-The two give each other competitive glares before going separate ways-
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: The following match is scheduled for one-fall, and is part of the semi-finals of the World Fighter's Championship tournament, now making her way to the ring, weighing 151 pounds, standing five foot, ten inches tall, from Loneyville, Applejack!

Announcer: The following match is scheduled for one fall, on her way to the ring, from Clouds dale, weighing 125 pounds, standing five foot, six inches tall. Rainbow Dash!
Match 4: Tournament Match, Applejack vs. Rainbow Dash
*18 minutes later*
Dr. Whooves: This has been an incredible display of skill by both competitors thus far, both these women are showing that they are championship material.
-Applejack Irish Whips Rainbow Dash into a corner and starts raining down punches on her, she then sets Rainbow Dash up on the top rope and starts setting up for a big move, but Rainbow Dash counters and shoves Applejack down to the mat-
Dr. Whooves: Rainbow Dash is setting up, I think we know what's coming next.
*Sonic Raindrop*
Discord: And that's why you do NOT try and fight a high flyer on the top ropes. It gets you owned.
-Rainbow Dash follows up the Sonic Raindrop with a pin-
*1...2...3*
Announcer: Here is your winner, advancing to the final match of the World Fighter's Tournament at Proving Grounds, Rainbow Dash!
-Rainbow Dash celebrates in the ring, garnering large amounts of cheers from the crowd-
*Commercial*
Dr. Whooves: Last match determined that Rainbow Dash will be going on to Proving Grounds to fight for the World Fighter's Championship, the next match will determine her opponent, will it be Trixie or the latecomer Daring Do?
*Trixie's music plays, the crowd cheers as the impressive pyro goes off, but boos as she begins to speak*
Trixie: The following match is part of the semi-finals for the World Fighter's Championship Tournament, now approaching the ring, from the city of Manhattan, standing at an incredible five foot, eleven inches tall, and weighing at a precise 140 pounds, the undoubtable victor of the upcoming fight, the GRRRRRREEEEEEEAT AND POWERRRRRFUL TRRRRRRRRIXIE!
Dr. Whooves: Trixie has proven herself to be in the upper echelon of Sublime the past few weeks, Daring Do is going to have to struggle for this one, but if she can avoid that deadly Ursa Lock there may be a chance.
*Never Back Down*
-Daring Do walks down the ramp, getting nearly as much of a pop as last week, as she makes her way to the ring she signs a few auto-graphs and even throws her explorer's hat into the crowd-
Match 5: Tournament Match, Trixie vs. Daring Do
*15 minutes later*
-Trixie has already kicked out of two of Daring Do's finishers, while Daring Do has been carefully avoiding giving Trixie any chance to use the Ursa Lock up to this point, Daring Do hits *Redacted* on Trixie and heads for the top rope-
Dr. Whooves: Looks like Daring Do is ready to put Trixie away.
-Daring Do goes for a high flying move, but Trixie rolls out of the way-
Discord: High risk, high fail.
-Trixie moves in for the Ursa Lock, Daring Do tries to frantically get away but is unable to stop Trixie from locking it in-
Dr. Whooves: Oh no, Trixie has the Ursa Lock, this spells doom for Daring Do.
-Daring Do puts all her strength into trying to reach the ropes, but to no avail, after about a minute and ten second she taps out-
Trixie: Here's your winner,by way of submission, moving on to the finals at Proving Grounds, the future World Fighter's Champion, the GRRRREEEEAT AND POWERRRRFULL TRRRRIXIE!
-Trixie leaves the ring, afterwards Commander Hurricane emerges with her entourage and surrounds the weakened Daring Do in the ring-
Dr. Whooves: Oh God, leave the poor woman alone. She's had enough.
Discord: One doesn't defy Commander Hurricane and get away with it.
Commander Hurricane: On your feet Plebeian!
-Daring Do slowly manages to stand, only to be immediately hit with Commander Hurricane's helmet, Commander Hurricane takes off the turnbuckle padding and drags Daring Do over to it and starts slamming her face into it repeatedly, eventually causing her to bleed, Commander Hurricane then throws her out of the ring and climbs out of the ring herself to grab a steel chair-
Dr. Whooves: Commander Hurricane is just psychotic, there's no call for this brutality!
-After working Daring Do over with the steel chair Commander Hurricane has two of her guards carry Daring Do over towards the announce table, they lift her high up into the air before slamming her through it-
-Very loud boos fill the arena-
-Commander Hurricane re-enters the ring and picks up a mic-
Commander Hurricane: Let me give you surfs a quick history lesson. A long time ago I was the leader of the greatest empire Equestria ever knew, an empire that was glorious, respected, and feared! It was an empire that was eventually overthrown by plebeians like her! *Points at Daring Do* Now I have the chance to build a new empire, and this time history will not repeat itself. This new empire will not be stopped by anyone, definitely not pathetic weaklings like your little hero Daring Do! At Proving Grounds, I will brutalize every single opponent in a similar manner if it's what I must do. Commander Hurricane will rule Sublime, one championship at a time.
Discord: The Commander has spoken, now our sponsors take their turn. We'll be back soon for our main event, Beauty Shot vs. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch
*Commercial*
*Dubstep/Classical Mix*
Announcer: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall, now approaching the ring, weighing a combined 290 pounds, the team of Octavia and Vinyl Scratch!
Dr. Whooves: This is another rematch from the first week of Sublime, where Beauty Shot defeated Octavia and Vinyl Scratch through various underhanded means, this is Octavia and Vinyl's chance for revenge and to soften up Beauty Shot for Aloe and Lotus Blossom.
*Redacted Theme*
Announcer: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 282 pounds, Beauty Shot!
Main Event: Beauty Shot vs. Vinyl Scratch and Octavia
*21 Minutes later*
-Vinyl Scratch is hit by *Redacted* from Photo Finish-
*1...2...-Kick-out!-*
Dr. Whooves: Vinyl just barely hanging on.
-Vinyl Scratch crawls towards the ropes, desperate to make the tag, but at the last second Octavia jumps down from the ropes and starts walking away, the crowd boos her-
Dr. Whooves: What?!
Discord: -Laughs- That's teamwork right there.
Dr. Whooves: I can't believe this, Octavia is leaving her tag team partner to suffer at the hands of Beauty Shot.
-Photo Finish smiles cruelly-
Photo Finish: Look at that Vinyl Scratch, your partner made the smart move and left, now you're all alone.
-Photo Finish picks Vinyl Scratch up and hits *Redacted* again, and goes for another pin-
*1...2...3!*
Announcer: Here are your winners, Beauty Shot!
Dr. Whooves: I just don't believe it...Octavia betrayed her best friend, for no good reason!
Discord: There's always a reason, you probably won't like it though.
Dr. Whooves: Nothing could justify that. But it looks like an explanation will have to wait for next week, we're out of time. We'll see you at Proving Grounds!
