Salem was down on the top of the ramp, Cartwright was being brutalized by two men in the ring, and Mason Black was enjoying every moment of it - soaking in the boos from the audience as he glanced towards the ring, remembering something. Descending the ramp back to ringside as Salem lay prone, Mason watched Cartwright being assaulted while grabbing Salem's burlap sack from the apron and returning up the ramp!
The referee was counting, Salem was writhing, but Mason wasn't satisfied yet - shoving the referee back as he sat the sack next to Salem! Opening the sack and looking in, Mason's attention was suddenly distracted by a turn in attitude from the crowd- looking up from the bag to see a supposed fan masked in black clothes and a hoodie sliding into the ring and taking the fight to Bad Boy and GQ - Cartwright finding an opportunity to fight back with the mysterious ally! Just before Mason could stand and go down to confront them, however, Salem would suddenly lurch up and snap his deadly Guillotine Choke on the big man, nearly DDTing his face into the sack!
Mason screamed as his head was driven into the bag's mysterious contents, flailing and shoving Salem away as "The Rider" withdrew from the sack - bloody thumbtacks peppering his face as he struggled to shake the metal spikes off of him! With both Salem and Mason on the stage, now, "The Copperhead" knew this might be his only opportunity to strike a decisive blow against the big rook! With Mason reeling by the edge of the stage and Salem's strength fading, "Showtime" struggled with the last ounces of effort he had to hit Mason with one of his signature kicks - the 'Mic Drop' Superkick - snapping Mason backwards off-balance to land on a table of electrical equipment next to the stage!
The crowd momentarily stopped watching the recovering Cartwright and his unknown ally clear the ring, fans barely paying arrengion as Bad Boy and GQ were run off into the crowd, everyone's attention on the large electrical arcs and sparks from the impact of Mason destroying the ring equipment on impact! The referee looked off the side of the stage where Mason landed, unsure of getting near the wreckage but beginning the ten count as Salem coughed and caught his breath on his hands and knees! The masked individual took off into the crowd in pursuit of the other members of Bradland Strong Style, Salem sitting on the stage in a state of exhaustion as the count grew higher! Finally, the referee reached the count of ten and called for the bell, Salem feeling relief hit him hard as a truck as he fell to his back on the stage, hearing the crowd roar as the decision was announced.
"...AND YOUR WINNER..."SHOOOOOOOWTIIIIIIIME" SALEM CROFT!"
