FanFiction Survivor Series
24 teams, 12 matches, 1 ring. Who will reign supreme? Who will stand tall? But better yet, who will survive in this all-out warfare?
Chapter 2: Kicking Off The Event
Info: For the first time in the FanFiction Wrestling series, I take use to the "kickoff" pre-show matches that WWE uses currently, and go for something to warm the fans up for the 5 on 5 matches coming soon.

(READ)(&)(REVIEW)
About a half an hour before the scheduled start time of the inaugural FanFiction Survivor Series event, the thousands of Indiana-born fans in attendance in Lucas Oil Stadium, carrying signs across the arena, waited for some hyping-up action to go around. Since the six primary commentators from both WWE and TNA weren't yet at the commentary tables, play-by-play announcing came from the lesser-known commentators of the two global promotions: WWE's Josh Matthews and Alex Riley, as well as two former WWE commentators in Todd Grisham and Matt Striker.
Todd Grisham: Ladies and gentlemen, in a half-hour's time, FanFiction Survivor Series will broadcast across the globe, but right now, as we are streaming on YouTube, we welcome you to the Survivor Series Kickoff, where two known stars of the current generation of wrestling and TV will warm up this heated crowd in the Lucas Oil Stadium.
Matt Striker: It could be a bit of a treat, to see some entertainment before our scheduled start time!
Alex Riley: Strap in, fans! This is gonna be good!
After the opening remarks from the commentators, Justin Roberts, one of WWE's regularly-working ring announcers, stood in the middle of the ring.
Justin Roberts: The following kick-off contest is scheduled for one-fall, and in this match, there will be NO disqualifications!
Josh Matthews: No disqualification?
Matt Striker: Yes! In FanFiction Survivor Series, the time for extreme is always now!
(SONG: "Walk" by Pantera)
Making his way to the ring for the dark match of the night was Regular Show's own big and green party boy Mitch, best known as Muscle Man. He was rushing down to the ramp, hand-in-hand with his equally as green girlfriend Starla. In his other hand was a beige, black-taped baseball bat.
Justin Roberts: Introducing first… accompanied to the ring by Starla, from "The Park", weighing in at 323 pounds, Muscle Man!
Alex Riley: Whoa, what the hell happened to this guy? He looks like Shrek got freaky with Bam Margera!
Matt Striker: I think the same could go for his girlfriend! I think they may be the same size as each other!
Josh Matthews: I don't mean to change the topic, but I remember for a fact that Muscle Man has been a bit unlucky in the past with Royal Rumbles. In his first appearance in the FanFiction Royal Rumble series, in the inaugural event, he lasted all of 15 seconds, which, in a random fun fact, is still a longer amount of time in the Royal Rumble than Santino Marella in the 2009 WWE Royal Rumble, and The Warlord in the 1989 Rumble, not to mention Michael Cole and Glenn Quagmire of Family Guy fame's entries in the first and second FanFiction Royal Rumble in that order, combined!
Alex Riley: Whoa, that seemed like a mouthful for you, didn't it?
Josh Matthews: The fans have to know, right?
The crowd gave quite a reaction to the Regular Show star, who seemed ready to slam somebody through a cold, hard wooden table, or bash a metal garbage can over somebody's head. Muscle Man was armed and dangerous with that wooden baseball bat in his hand, and prepared for a fight. Kissing Starla's left hand, he awaited his opponent.
(SONG: "Brother To Brother" by Dale Oliver)
Coming out next for the match was an odd choice in the brother of TNA's "Monster" Abyss, Joseph Park, wearing his trademark tracksuit, and holding a small white towel, just in case he needs to throw it in.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 350 pounds, Joseph Park!
Todd Grisham: From what I've heard about this guy, Joseph spent some time in OVW, learning from some of TNA's best developmental trainers.
Matt Striker: Yeah, but he also seems to have some sort of trigger that is flipped when he sees his own blood.
Josh Matthews: Well, he is related to The Monster Abyss, not to mention he uses the Black Hole Slam much like his brother. Not only that, but he has experience as an attorney as well.
Alex Riley: What irony; a lawyer related to an all-out beast.
As Joseph Park entered the ring, he was a bit creeped out by Muscle Man and Starla's green and obese appearances, but still managed to listen to the crowd's acceptable positive response, as he raised an arm up to keep the Indiana audience going.
The referee being set to call the action was veteran WWE official Mike Chioda. As Chioda got the timekeeper to ring the bell and start the match, the crowd was split down the middle in a chant-battle, trading between "SHOW SOME MUSCLE!", in reference to Muscle Man, and "JOSEPH PARK!" for TNA's wrestling lawyer.
Matt Striker: The crowd seems to be pretty hot tonight for this event, where no rules apply; not here, and not in the Survivor Series tag matches.
The match began with Muscle Man handing his baseball bat over to Starla, who watched from outside for the moment, as Mitch and Park began the traditional ring-circling pre-lockup wrestling ritual, followed by the collar-and-elbow tie-up. Muscle Man quickly got the starting boost of momentum by knocking down Joseph with a sambo-like leg sweep, followed by a Fujiwara armbar on the right arm of Park. Although it wouldn't likely make somebody tap out, it was meant more for damage in this match. A few seconds later, Muscle Man let go of the hold and went to kick Joseph in the gut while he was down, as the crowd kept on watching.
Matt Striker: And Mitch wearing down on Joseph Park right now.
Alex Riley: Who? Do you mean Muscle Man?
Josh Matthews: Yeah, that's his name.
Alex Riley: It is? I always thought it was something a bit more of a frat-boy kind, like Max or Rex, or Hulk!
Todd Grisham: …Hulk is a frat-boy name?
Alex Riley: Just... don't question it, alright? I'm just watching the match; I don't need to get too deep into this.
As the commentators had that brief argument, Muscle Man picked the moderately-heavier Joseph Park up on the mat, and tossed him into the ropes. Park sprung back, and was roughly elbowed to the side of the face. Joseph fell to the ground slowly, but with a bit of a harsh landing. Muscle Man then ran into the ropes, and leg dropped Joseph a la Hulk Hogan, with Starla cheering him on.
Muscle Man went for the pin, which Mike Chioda was quick to start counting on the white ring mat.
1! Joseph kicked out, having an edge in size, being only 27 pounds bigger than his opponent.
Matt Striker: Muscle Man and Joseph Park are both quite big heavyweight, in the same group of super heavyweights as the Big Red Monster Kane, the Deadman Undertaker, Kevin Nash, and even, to a lesser extent, the sinister Bray Wyatt and Paul Heyman's right hand powerhouse Ryback!
Josh Matthews: And yet neither one of those two are as big as those guys, which isn't shocking seeing as one is a party animal and another's experienced in… solving legal problems.
Muscle Man immediately went back after Park, dropping three elbows in a row, much like WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler, although with twice as quick and twice as angry.
Alex Riley: Geez, those elbow drops! That's a heart stopper!
Josh Matthews: I think JBL has been teaching you too much on how to make light on stuff like that, even though Jerry Lawler had a heart attack over a year ago.
Alex Riley: Well, when you put it that way, most people must've forgotten about that by now.
Todd Grisham: Ugh, as Gorilla Monsoon would say, "Would you stop?!"
As Muscle Man went to drag Joseph Park back up to his feet by his head, Park managed to reverse by grabbing onto MM's legs and dropping him down on the mat. Joseph then quickly locked in a Boston crab submission move, as he flipped Muscle Man over onto his stomach. As Park wrenched on the legs, Mitch strained as he got stuck in the center of the ring, his lower body in serious pain.
Muscle Man: *during the submission hold* OH NO, BRO!
Josh Matthews: Who's the "bro", exactly?
Alex Riley: Eh, who the hell would know?
As Joseph's leg and torso damaging submission hold was still locked in, the match made a 180 degree turn, both metaphorically, in terms of Joseph Park gaining control, and literally, due Muscle Man dragging himself around the ring trying to get out. Around a minute into the hold, Starla came to Muscle Man's aid at the bottom of the ramp, still holding the bat he handed her right before the match began. Starla took a big swing with a bat towards Park, whose head was right near the ropes facing the entrance ramp…
…only for Park to surprisingly duck the weapon strike, but at the same time, he ended up being kicked away when Muscle Man broke the submission hold, and Joseph Park rolled through the ropes, and to ringside, falling to the black padded flooring. The crowd that fought past the elongated submission hold kept focus on the match.
Matt Striker: Well, it was about time that submission was released. The crowd was growing weary on that one.
Josh Matthews: It was only for a minute; it wasn't that long.
Starla looked towards Joseph, whose upper body dug underneath the apron, presumably looking for a weapon, and waited for him to come back out, as she prepared to try again and strike him down with Muscle Man's hard baseball bat.
Todd Grisham: It's not often that Joseph Park goes into a match where anything goes, but he's the lesser-known brother to Abyss, who has a hardcore background due to his experience in bloody matches in TNA against the likes of the Phenomenal AJ Styles, the death-defying Sabu, as well as Team 3D: Devon and Bubba "Bully" Ray Dudley.
Alex Riley: Well, I hope the Black Hole Slam isn't the only thing Joseph Park inherits from his brother. He's gotta push through in this match, even though it's only the pre-show for him right now.
Starla raised the baseball bat high and mighty, looking to score some damage for her lover to take to an advantage…
…but then Joseph Park pulled out a small stack of black steel chairs, and when he turned around onto his back on the floor, the chairs knocked the tan baseball bat out of Starla's hands as she swung it down, and it landed behind her. The "Muscle Woman", as Starla would probably be called at some point of time, was also staggered by the inadvertent chair-shot, as the chairs also struck her in her hands.
Matt Striker: Whoa, look out!
Alex Riley: Aaaand her fingers are broken.
Matt Striker: Joseph Park didn't even know what was going on behind him, but he's still okay right now!
As Starla recoiled in pain and fell back, Joseph slid the five chairs stacked on top of each other underneath the ropes, and into the ring, and then followed suit. However, during the baseball bat and chair involved spot of the match, Muscle Man was practically waiting for Park, as he went back on the brother of Abyss, as he stomped a mud hole into Joseph Park, and then tossed him head first into a set of turnbuckles on the side of the ring near the entrance aisle leading up to the stage.
Muscle Man then lifted Joseph up, carefully, onto the top turnbuckle, contemplating a big move coming up.
Alex Riley: Uh-oh, I think Muscle Man wants to enter the high-risk district!
Muscle Man looked down at Joseph Park's stack of chairs, and spread them across the ring, around the range of where he could toss Joseph across the ring. He then slowly got up to the top rope, corner by corner, like peaks of a mountain, until he got up to Park's eye level.
Matt Striker: I think Park wishes his brother Abyss was out here to stop this!
Josh Matthews: That is, unless he can will himself out of this.
Alex Riley: Well, that's good for you to say, but I'm kinda worried that the ring could implode if they both launched off the top rope at the same time. Remember Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar? Big Show vs. Mark Henry?
Todd Grisham: Well, the two stars in that ring are a combined over 600 pounds, which is still less than the combined weight of Big Show and Brock Lesnar or Mark Henry. I doubt it will be more than just a moderate mat-quake in the ring.
Muscle Man prepared for a superplex onto the steel chairs laying behind him on the ring canvas, and wrapped one of Joseph's arms over the back of his head…
…but Joseph Park punched Muscle Man in the gut with his free arm, catching him off guard, and then shoved him back down to the ring. Unfortunately for Mitch… I mean Muscle Man, he landed on the steel chairs, and began rolling around in pain, squealing like a pig.
As Muscle Man squirmed on the ring mat from the hard steel-involved fall from the top rope, the legal expert saw an opportunity while keeping his balance on the top turnbuckle…
…and jumped onto the crazy green fighter with a big Superfly-like splash.
Matt Striker: He calls that the Closing Argument!
Todd Grisham: Could this be it?!
Park continued to lay on top of Muscle Man as referee Mike Chioda counted the second and possibly last pinfall of the match.
1! 2! …No! Muscle Man kicked out at two!
Alex Riley: *sharp exhale* Oooh, that was just so close for Joseph! A splash from a 350 pounder like him is hard to kick out of; I should know, I've been in the ring with people his size, and bigger!
Matt Striker: Welcome to my club, A-Ry! I've been through hell and back at ECW when WWE revived it!
Josh Matthews: I guess me and Todd are lucky not to get pulverized weekly… although I've been attacked for just doing my job on more than one occasion, plus I've witnessed an unwise senior referee try to kill himself week after week—
Todd Grisham: Josh? I don't think they're paying attention to you right now; let's get back to the match, can't we?
Joseph Park objected to the referee's calling, complaining that it was a three-count and not a two, but Mike Chioda told him that it was a three-count, no if's, and's or but's about it.
Losing the argument, the attorney picked up Muscle Man...
...only for the overweight party animal to pick him up and push him onto the referee, knocking him down completely on his ass. Why referee bumps are necessary in no DQ matches aside from a possibility the next pinfall could not be counted, I'm not sure.
Josh Matthews: Oh, and not surprisingly, Muscle Man pushes Joseph Park down into Mike Chioda!
Alex Riley: Muscle Man will do what it takes to get a victory here, even though it's no disqualification!
While both the attorney and the ref tried to recover, Muscle Man went to the left turnbuckle, removing the turn pad which exposed the steel ring. Now this was very dirty.
While Joseph Park got to his feet, he was tripped by Muscle Man when the party animal got his feet. With Abyss's younger brother limping upside down, Mitch had a sick idea up his sleeve.
Matt Striker: Uh-oh, I think Muscle Man is gonna make Joseph Park fly here!
Todd Grisham: This isn't gonna look good for Joseph Park at all!
Giving Starla's word, Muscle Man catapulted Joseph Park in the left corner, hitting his head through the steel ring and getting knocked over. And as Joseph Park was knocked unconscious, Muscle Man whipped over the ropes and back and hit Joseph Park with a BIG body splash, made famous by King Kong Bundy, Mark Henry and the Ultimate Warrior!
Muscle Man hooked Joseph's leg as the referee managed to get up and make the count.
1!...
2!...
NO! Joseph Park managed to kick out just in time!
Alex Riley: Oh, man! Joseph Park managed to kick out!
Josh Matthews: And just in time too! What a close one!
Matt Striker: This is turning into a gruesome contest at best!
Todd Grisham: You definitely gotta give them credit for putting on a show!
Hearing the count of two, Muscle Man groaned in agony. In response, the overweight dwarf complained to the referee that it was a three-count and not two. He was suddenly in a argument with Mike Chioda.
Muscle Man: Not cool, bro! That was three! 1! 2! 3!
Mike Chioda: It was 2, I tell ya! 1! 2!
However, as the argument between Muscle Man and the referee intensified, something was trickling around Joseph Park's face.
It was red, dripping, and resembled so much as a crimson mask. Joseph Park felt the liquid substance with a touch of a finger, and found out this was blood. The fans saw this and started to frenzy around the attorney, who was seconds away from unleashing his total wrath on Muscle Man.
Alex Riley: Uh-oh, I don't know what Muscle Man did to him, but I think that may be a total mistake!
Todd Grisham: This crowd's on fire tonight, and they do know why!
Matt Striker: Muscle Man better not even turn around right now!
Josh Matthews: I think it may be too late for that now, Striker! Joseph Park's about to lose it...!
Back to the argument, Muscle Man angrily shoved Chioda into a corner, aware of the no-disqualification rules, and yelled at him to do his job like he means it. As the mean green slob turned around…
…he took a face full of a hard black steel chair, swung wildly by an absolutely enraged Joseph Park. After Muscle Man fell to the canvas in pain, just about busted open from the unprotected chair shot, Park brought the steel chair down on his back several times.
Matt Striker: Joseph has just snapped!
Alex Riley: Well, that's what happens when he starts bleeding, every time!
Todd Grisham: And whenever that happens, Park's chances of winning are practically tripled, and especially in no-disqualification matches like this!
After about 10 shots to the back, Park picked Muscle Man up by his dirt-brown hair, tossed him into the ropes, and when the party rocker bounced away from the ropes…
…Joseph Park lifted him into the air into a spinning side slam, best known as his older brother Abyss's Black Hole Slam, right onto the painfully dented steel chair!
Matt Striker: Black Hole Slam! That's it, it's over!
Alex Riley: Muscle Man may need to take a trip to the chiropractor after this!
1! 2! 3!
The crowd erupted as the match came to an end with a ring of the bell, which snapped Joseph Park out of his violent trance. Park looked around the ring for a moment before realizing he had achieved victory, as Mike Chioda raised Joseph's left arm up like usual.
Josh Matthews: And the match is over.
Justin Roberts: The winner of this match… Joseph Pa—
The ring announcer's voice seemed to have suddenly cut off, as if his microphone got cut, but as confusion started to form, the reason for the abrupt cut was because of an unknown assailant, whose only bit of description based on the face-obscuring hood keeping her mouth visible, was that the attacker was female, given off the figure. The black-and-orange clad invader had floored the WWE ring announcer with a sledgehammer to the gut, as the crowd didn't know how to react.
Matt Striker: *a bit startled* Uhhhh…
Alex Riley: Who the hell is that?!
Josh Matthews: Whoever she is, she seems like a bit of a threat to not only Justin Roberts, but everybody else in and around that ring.
As the mystery stalker looked towards the ring, at Joseph Park and Mike Chioda, while Muscle Man was being helped up the ramp by Starla, a creepily big, sinister smile lurked in the bit of light that shone down on her mouth as she slowly approached the squared circle. The Indiana crowd didn't know what to think, as this situation seemed to go down a downward spiral it could probably not recover from before the pre-show ends.
After a moment of almost nothing, the intruding female attacker slid into the ring, just as Joseph Park got out of there, clearly not looking for trouble, as he retreated up the entrance ramp.
Matt Striker: That's it, Park! Get outta there! Don't risk your life on it!
Todd Grisham: I guess I have to agree with you on that; that woman looks absolutely ready for a fight!
While Joseph, being the smart kind of Chicago person he is, didn't want to get into another battle after a grueling match against Muscle Man, the helpless referee Mike Chioda was not as lucky.
The experienced World Wrestling Entertainment referee was backed into the ropes, as the hooded fighter looked towards his way. However, the woman seemed to begin to back away from Chioda…
…only to strike him in the face with the hard metal surface of the sledgehammer, sending the referee flying over the top rope, bloodied in a matter of seconds. The crowd recoiled as the sound of human flesh tasting the hammer echoed across the arena, but they were also interested in this sudden turn of events.
Alex Riley: Whoa! This woman is going insane on those who can't defend themselves!
Todd Grisham: First Roberts, now Chioda! This is a kind of thriller that I haven't really experienced!
Matt Striker: Jeez, this is tough to watch, but I couldn't say the same about the fans; they seem to like it!
Josh Matthews: I'm glad you feel that way, but I think we need to go to a little break for a second here on this pre-show, but—uh-oh.
As Josh seemed interrupted, he noticed the hardcore female sledgehammer-wielder calling towards the side of ringside including the commentators, medical personnel that was checking up on Justin Roberts, the timekeeper and a few other staff members.
?: Get me a mic. …Get me a F***IN' mic!
Matt Striker: Wait, hold on, what's she gonna say?
As a medical worker passed along the microphone Justin Roberts was using before… what was happening right now, the apparently irate and impacting psycho bitch pulled down the mysterious hood on her jacket, revealing a blooming of yellow and red hair that looked almost entirely unnatural. The crowd, and the commentators, were surprised to find out who this mysterious attacker turned out to be, but, oddly enough, the crowd was a lot more louder than they were a moment before.
Todd Grisham: *in shock* Oh my…
Matt Striker: Oh-ho-hoo, boy!
Alex Riley: I recognize those hair colors anywhere! Sunset Shimmer has just made an impact, but the question is "Why is she here?" What exactly does she want?
Sunset Shimmer, making her first appearance in the FanFiction Wrestling series, seemed to be battle-ready, but it seemed there was something the devious yellow-skinned woman needed to get off her chest right now.
Sunset Shimmer: I-I'm not done; that was not all of what I needed to do right now! Now listen, all of you at the production truck, we do not go to break when you want to go to break. As long as I stand in this ring, we stay live for the whole world to witness, because I do things that I think need to happen… and I'm thinkin', I don't know…... *looks towards the sledgehammer in her other hand* …why don't we have another match right now?
In response, the crowd got quite excited for the red-hot Fall Formal crasher, as they couldn't wait to see what the response is from the stars in the back.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm pissed off, and I wanna FIGHT! I DARE YOU TO STEP UP… AND BE A MAN! C'mon! Who's up for a round with someone who will not leave this ring until someone else comes out?!
As she seemed to be bloodthirsty for an all-out battle with another star standing by at the locker room, Sunset paced around the ring, giving an aggressively inviting gesture by making a bigger opening in between the ropes, for somebody to come through.
Matt Striker: She is furious right here! She practically held this event hostage for the moment! Hopefully she's prepared for someone to step up!
Todd Grisham: Doesn't it look like it?
Josh Matthews: Todd, I think the better question is… who's going to be the man or woman to step up against this—this somehow fearless mind?!
Alex Riley: Well, to me, she seems like a bit of a Dean Ambrose kind of lady; a very aggressive person with what may seem to be a soon-to-be hardcore background. If she wants to get an experience in this first-hand, that's fine with me.
Matt Striker: Ambrose? Really? Well, she is a psycho, but not that much of a psycho!
Alex Riley: Probably not yet, but we haven't seen much of what she's got besides assaulting Justin Roberts and Mike Chioda, so all we can hope for is that she gets a response!
Throughout the long set of commentary, the derailing discussion of what came by as semi-memorable nonsense formed between the four WWE-known commentators of past and present seemed to drown out Sunset Shimmer's harshly felt presence, which was finally halted by an actual response, after a moment of dead air (excluding the commentary).
(SONG: "Sexy Boy" by Shawn Michaels, Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart and J.J. Maguire)
Todd Grisham: Well, the waiting is over now!
Josh Matthews: Ohh my!
Upon hearing the timeless, pop-worthy entrance music, the crowd rose up for a standing ovation, as the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels made his arrival to the stage, spinning like a hurricane of excitement, as he listened to the ovation from the fans.
Josh Matthews: The Heartbreak Kid has entered the building!
Alex Riley: Wasn't he in the building to begin with? Withstanding that, when Shimmer wanted a fight, I don't think she expected a full-on legend like Shawn Michaels!
Todd Grisham: Although while Shawn Michaels has been a part of these FanFiction Wrestling events since the first FanFiction Royal Rumble, he seems like a target for Sunset Shimmer to go after to make a statement in this event.
Matt Striker: There have been legend killers around, but I'm not 100% sure that Shimmer has what it takes to be a new breed of the kind.
As Sunset Shimmer looked on confident about getting this kind of opportunity, Michaels, upon reaching the half-way mark of the entrance ramp and knelt down, briefly praying and drowning in the loud reaction from the crowd he got, before raising his arms back up, in front of a line of fireworks firing across the stage behind him, as well as an extra assortment of pyrotechnics showering the titantron. The production for the fireworks must've been big for this. Much like how HBK's theme song goes, the knees of almost all the fans in attendance got weak as they continued to give Mr. Hall of Fame their utmost support.
Matt Striker: Shawn Michaels, a true Hall of Famer, may be thinking that it could take just a single Sweet Chin Music in a matter of seconds to put Shimmer away, but as she said, we haven't seen all of her potential yet.
With Sunset still standing at the center of the ring, with a cocky smirk and arms crossed, Shawn slapped down on the aisle as he sprang back up on his feet and continued to walk down to the ring. He jumped up to the apron, continuing to let the crowd give it their all to him, and then entered the ring, soon afterwards beginning a Ric Flair-style strut, giving off the fact that the San Antonio superstar was in quite a good mood for this night. HBK didn't exactly have his ring attire on at all, but he would be able to go for a match no matter what. With a microphone of his own in hand, Shawn Michaels was ready to voice his opinions tonight.
Shawn Michaels: …It's been quite a while, but man, it's damn good to be back!
The worldwide audience, both in the stands live, and watching at home (or anywhere else), were still standing tall as they were much obliged with the cheap pop.
Shawn Michaels: Ya know… I remember being here at WrestleMania VIII, wrestling to entertain the fans… but then again, I wasn't as relevant as I am now; in fact, my opponent was Tito Santana, who is a hall-of-famer like yours truly. Now, onto other things, specifically, Survivor Series… *referring to Sunset Shimmer* …and whoever the hell this odd teen girl is in the ring with me—seriously, aren't you in high school or somethin'? Did your boyfriend or something want you to do—wait, do you even have a boyfriend? If not… sorry, I'm taken. Besides, I'm not even sure you're legal.
Despite the main purpose of HBK's appearance sort of going off track, the crowd held onto this scene going on in the ring. After the couple of disses thrown at her by Mr. WrestleMania/Hall of Fame, Shimmer decided to respond.
Sunset Shimmer: Way to derail yourself in seconds; listen, if you are the one who wanted to accept my challenge, that's fine with me, but… I don't think you know what you're actually getting yourself into. Yeah, I understand I haven't gotten into a wrestling match at all, but I have seen some of what people like you have done in this ring. Plus… *looking at her sledgehammer again* I'm armed with a quite dangerous weapon, and this night needs no rules, so I'm free to break bones with this sledgehammer like your buddy Hunter used to; emphasis on "used to".
Shawn Michaels: Eh, you are right on that one; with all due respect, all Triple H does now is believe Daniel Bryan and Big Show suck, and letting Randy Orton and the Shield suck him off every day of the year. Luckily, you're less trouble, because you've probably never even popped your cherry. That's probably why you're "pissed off" right now, you probably wanted to get some.
Sunset Shimmer: *getting in Shawn's face* THAT is not true! I know I can beat someone like you, because you've gotten quite a hell of a case of ring rust over the last few years!
Shawn Michaels: …You do realize I was in three FanFiction Royal Rumbles over the last two years, right? Look, I'm not usually the one to hit a girl, but I can make an exception, but you should probably back off before you get hurt.
Sunset Shimmer: Right, like you could kick my ass that easily!
Shawn Michaels: I'm warning ya, though! You should be careful with what you say, because it could be the last before your jaw gets broken!
Sunset Shimmer: And why… is… that?
A bit after Shawn and Sunset's back to back tirades, a small, eerie drone seemed to hit the arena, as the lights suddenly flashed out to black, and then to a creepy blood red all over the place. The crowd seemed to partially know who must be coming out, but others were a bit confused.
Todd Grisham: Oh no…
(SONG: "Blackhole" by Dale Oliver)
As the dark, gritty and familiar music played through the arena's speakers, a cloud of fog formed on the top of the entrance ramp. The crowd seemed to go a bit ballistic as they awaited the arrival…
…
…of TNA's fiercest monster Abyss, the meaner and scarier brother of Joseph Park, who had just fled the ring moments earlier thanks to one of the two characters in the ring. In one of Abyss's hands was a wooden 2x4 with a dangerous amount of nails sticking out of the wood. This weapon was named "Janice", oddly enough after TNA president Dixie Carter's mother.
Matt Striker: Oh man, this might just be a blood bath! , and I think he's looking to get revenge towards Sunset Shimmer for his brother Joseph just a few minutes ago!
Alex Riley: Oh god, he's got Janice! Somebody's getting torn apart, and I think that somebody is Shimmer!
Josh Matthews: I think she should run, but I think she's staying put! In fact, I think she wants to fight him, too!
As Abyss took no time to get into the ring, he prepared to swing Janice into Sunset's face, but Shawn Michaels had to play the role of referee in this imminent brawl, having to keep Abyss and Shimmer from tearing each other apart.
Shawn Michaels: WhoawhoawhoawhoawhoaWHOA! Look, Abyss… I know what you're thinking, you're thinking of ripping that psycho bitch's head off with that nail-wood weapon or whatever, but trust me when I say that I got this!
Sunset Shimmer: *scoffs* You think you can handle this?! I think I should handle this on my own!
Shawn Michaels: No, you're not, you're just a girl! …A kind of intimidating and crazy girl, but still! I wanted—I wanted to go after you first, but seeing as you're pretty eager to maul anybody who's wanting to fight you… I'm hoping you could go for a handicap match. In fact, I don't even need to change my attire; I can wrestle in my jeans!
The crowd, and Sunset, accepted HBK's idea of turning the match into a handicap match in the favor of the Heartbreak Kid and Abyss, as Shawn listened on.
Shawn Michaels: Okay, all we need… is a referee! Unfortunately, Sunset Shimmer happened to break Mike Chioda's nose, so he's out right now. Let's get Charles Robinson, or Earl Hebner, or at least somebody to referee this match.
In response, former WCW referee Nick Patrick ran down to the ring, as Shawn and Abyss stood at one side of the ring, with the yellow-skinned renegade female (Sunset) on the other side. However, as the match was set to begin, Abyss walked towards the other side of the ring to get behind Shimmer, who basically shrugged it off by stepping towards Shawn a bit more.
Alex Riley: Looks like we're gonna have another match.
Josh Matthews: Right now? Do we have time?
Matt Striker: Of course we have time! There's about 10 minutes before the pre-show ends! We can end early if the match does!
As soon as the bell rang…
…BAM! Abyss suddenly nailed (no pun intended) Sunset Shimmer on the back of the head with the nail-covered log of wood he calls Janice!...
…followed by Shawn Michaels striking the formerly undisputed Fall Formal Princess square in the face with a Sweet Chin Music. Shimmer span around, almost dizzy…
…as she was thrown in a 360 spin into a Black Hole Slam by Abyss!
Matt Striker: Holy crap, that was an insane combo!
Josh Matthews: Once you take a couple shots to the head and back like that, it's almost impossible to kick out!
Todd Grisham: Just to be sure, the match needs to end by pinfall or submission, so that may be it.
Shawn and Abyss both covered Shimmer at the same exact time, as Nick Patrick made the count.
1!
2!
…Sunset Shimmer somehow, somehow, kicks out of the combined 400+ pounds on her body! Everybody was in shock, including the referee!
Josh Matthews: It's over—wait, what?
Matt Striker: No! No way that just happened!
Todd Grisham: Are you—are you kidding me right now?!
Alex Riley: No one should kick out of that! That's at least the equivalent of a Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree, maybe even an Undertaker tombstone piledriver!
As the Heartbreak Kid rolled out right after the kick out, Abyss pounded on the ground in frustration, even shoving the referee across the ring, as there were no disqualifications at all, like every other match on the card for tonight. Sunset, however, was almost unconscious after the trio of painful attacks just a moment earlier, and it seemed that she was bleeding a bit on the back of her head from the nails of Janice scratching her head a few seconds earlier, as the blood dropped to the ring mat.
Outside of the ring, Michaels was looking for some sort of object underneath the ring to actually put away the Equestria Girls antagonist…
…until he uncovered a wooden table and pulled it out of the hidden under-ring compartment. HBK carried the table into the ring, and began to set it up, as Abyss dragged Shimmer across the ring, her being almost completely dead and too numb to manage to respond.
Alex Riley: I could suggest the idea of pinning her again, but she could probably kick out twice.
Matt Striker: Well, when at first you don't succeed, try try again!
Todd Grisham: Although something tells me Abyss and Shawn Michaels will be trying too hard to put her away.
Matt Striker: She kicked out of a Sweet Chin Music and a Black Hole Slam!
Alex Riley: Don't forget Janice!
As Shawn managed to get the table on its two legs, Abyss carried Sunset Shimmer in a bearhug position. Shawn got to the other side of the table, as Abyss lifted Sunset up…
…before the Monster tossed the red-and-yellow alpha bitch down towards the table, with the Show Stopper all-out putting Shimmer through the table with a cutter of sorts, much like those of WCW legend Diamond Dallas Page and multi-time WWE Champion Randy Orton. The crowd cheered for the tag team maneuver!
Todd Grisham: Oh man, she just went through that table with authority!
Matt Striker: Shades of the Dudley Boyz, that 3D-like assault!
Shawn Michaels and Abyss then pinned down Sunset Shimmer for another pinfall attempt.
1! 2! 3!
(SONG: "Sexy Boy" by Shawn Michaels, Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart and J.J. Maguire)
Matt Striker: Well, that's what Shimmer gets for invading our show, I suppose!
Todd Grisham: That's all she wrote!
Despite no ring announcer officially calling the victory of the Monster and the Heartbreak Kid (due to Justin Roberts getting a sledgehammer to the gut earlier), Shawn still celebrated as Abyss stood above Sunset, looking down at the wreckage.
As Shawn Michaels stood up on the turnbuckles to listen to the crowd's amused applause, Abyss rolled out of the ring, leaving her bleeding and battered to near-death.
Matt Striker: After that beating, I'm not sure if Sunset should be transported to the nearest hospital, or the nearest morgue!
Alex Riley: I'm thinking she takes a trip to the nearest police office when she recovers; isn't there a law on trespassing, or breaking and entering?
Todd Grisham: I'm sure that's still there, but I'm not sure what will happen to her, as we thank the fans for tuning into this pre-show event! Survivor Series starts right now!
The last image of the pre-show before the pre-show came to an end was Nick Patrick raising the arms of Abyss and Shawn Michaels in the center of the ring.

Fun facts:
"Walk" by Pantera was at one point used by Rob Van Dam during his ECW years.
Muscle Man's entrance with the baseball bat is based off of the WWE 2K14 version of Edge's entrance from his match against Mick Foley at WrestleMania 22.
The "unwise senior referee" was Tim White in between 2005 and 2006.
Sunset seemed to be channeling Scott Steiner (remember when he appeared in WWE in the early 2000's) when demanding a microphone, didn't she?
She also channeled CM Punk during her promo as well.
