V/O: "King of the Deathmatch. Eight men, not here for glory, not a title, not riches or women or the normal trappings that come with winners in this sport, but for one thing, and one thing only."
[The opening strains of Fort Minor's "Remember The Name -- Deathmatch Instrumental Rehash" begin to flow in the background.]
V/O: "Why would these men subject themselves to this? What more is there to be gained by testing one's body not only against their adversaries, but against the cold steel of a cage, or the piercing slice of ribbon-shredding barbed wire? What do they have to prove by engaging in brutal combat inside the confines of electrified metal?"
[The camera shot fades in....a cage, topped with barbed wire, littered with weapons of mass destruction is show, rotating slowly.]
You ready?! Lets go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon)
[The chorus begins.]
[A clip is shown of Trench delivering a suplex, Dean Hobkirk giving someone a body slam.]
[Ryan Matthews delivers a STINGING knife-edge chop. Mark Adkins stomps a mudhole in some unfortunate opponent.]
[Tristian Connors kicks someone into next week. Chris Saint flies off the ropes and to the outside onto a dazed victim.]
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
[Matt Hunter is shown winning the C2W Underground Title. Wrec Hannibal is shown just after an SWF victory.]
[The music continues in the background, an instrumental of the same song. The beat drives, and the faces of each man are shown again as the chorus repeats.]
This is ten percent luck
[Wrec Hannibal.]
Twenty percent skill
[Chris Saint.]
Fifteen percent concentrated
[Ryan Matthews.]
Power of will
[Trench.]
Five percent pleasure
[Mark Adkins.]
Fifty percent pain
[Tristian Connors.]
And a hundred percent reason
[Matt Hunter.]
To remember the name
[Dean Hobkirk.]
[The music fades back into the instrumental.]
V/O: "Tonight, in the midst of chaos, two names that will be remembered for all eternity come to this wasteland of flesh and blood, to do battle not for pride, not for money or fame....but for the biggest prize any man could ever have..."
This is ten percent luck,
fifteen percent skill.
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
[A short montage of Ulfric's biggest alliance moment’s rolls as the first part of the chorus is repeated.]
Five percent pleasure,
fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
[Another short video package fires across the screen of Mike Bell, including his victory over Eric Dane to become the WWA World Heavyweight Champion.]
[Again, the music fades into the instrumental.]
V/O: "...they engage in combat for family."
[As the instrumental continues, scenes from the last year of happenings between Ulfric and Bell flash across the screen, reminding the home audience why these two men are here.]
V/O: "Who will prove themselves to be the bigger name? Who will go on to etch their name into the annals of wrestling history as one of the most fearless and toughest men in their sport? This is...KING...of the DEATHMATCH!"
