Week 3Fade In:
After a montage of what occurred two weeks ago, including DeMarco being the first eliminated, we find the contestants working in the gym. They quick working as Mike Quackenbush has them gather around him.
Mike
Alright, that was a good day of training. Tomorrow will be another day, however, at the end of the day we will have our first immunity challenge, a battle royal. Now, get back to the house, your day is over.
The contestants start talking among themselves as they walk out of the building.

The contestants are in the house. Jed Winchester is sitting on the couch drinking a beer when Chase Monroe walks up to him.
Monroe
Please, I believe the lord is guiding me. I think you need to stop drinking.
Winchester
Listen here son. I know you think drinking wrong. Hell, I know you blame yourself for that accident. But I'm not changing for you or no one else. What I do on my time don't cause no one no harm.
Monroe
You may think that, but truly, you are wrong.
Winchester
Maybe you should work on your ring skills, because I have seen them. You will be lucky to not be eliminated this week. Get out of my face before I kick it in.
Winchester takes another sip as Monroe walks off.

Fade In:
We see the bedroom that Rick Vanover and Camir Rutkowski share. Rutkowski is doing handstand push-ups as Vanover is laying on his bed.
Vanover
You know, kid, I think you can become somebody in this business. Not as great as I will be, granted, but a somebody. You should stick with me maybe I will let you carry my bags someday.
Rutkowski
Yeah, thanks.
Vanover
No, seriously. There are some guys out here that only think about themselves. I'm not like that.
Rutkowski
Oh really? I'm young, but not that naive.
Vanover
Oh, I know your not naive. I'm just saying. I'm not like some other people around here. Guys like C.J. I heard him talking trash about you.
Rutkowski
What? What did he say?
Vanover
Umm. Oh, I don't know. Something about how he is better than you and that he wants to try to injure you whenever he gets a chance
Rutkowski gets down from his handstand pushups and starts to go to the door. Vanover gets up and stops him.
Vanover
No, don't say anything. Just stick with me and I will make sure he doesn't try anything with you.
The camera pans out and sees Danny Powell listening from the other side of the wall.

Fade In:
We are back inside the gym. The three trainers have broken up the group into segments and are working with them.
We pan to Mike Quackenbush who is working with Danny Powell.
Quackenbush
I learned a new move from a friend of mine. It is an inverted figure four leglock.
Quackenbush applies the move of Michael Andrews as Powell watches. Andrews taps out before Quackenbush releases the hold. Powell than applies the move to Andrews. Andrews tries to move on his stomach, but he quickly gives up and taps out.
Quackenbush
Perfect! I think we just found a move for you. But inverted figure four just doesn't roll off the tongue, kind of like sophisti-pop. Remember, professional wrestling is 1/3 moves, 1/3 talk, and 1/3 style. What should we call this?
Powell
When I have him in that move and he tries to move, he likes a snail. And I like the finer things in life. I think I will call it the Escargot.
Quckenbush
I think that fits you.
Pan over to Val Venis. He is watching a group working together on takedowns when Monroe approaches him.
Monroe
Mr. Venis. Can I talk to you?
Venis
Sure.
Monroe
I think Jed Winchester has a drinking problem. All he does is watch TV and drink beers.
Venis
Listen, I am no ones babysitter. I don't think anyone has a right to tell someone else what they can and cannot do. If you are going to last in this business, you have to understand that not everyone lives by your rules. And, in my opinion, you shouldn't impose your lifestyle on anyone else. If you are going to do this for a living, sometimes you are going to see some things you do not like.
Venis walks off as Monroe looks at him in disbelief.
Pan to Nigel McGuinness.
McGuinness calls everyone over to the ring.
McGuinness
Alright everyone in the ring. It is time for the immunity Battle Royal. Whomever wins will not be eliminated from the competition this week. Ring the bell.
The match starts and Romeo Ortega, the heaviest competitor, quickly goes after Habib Ali Pahalwan. Ortega is able to lift Pahalwan up and throw him over the top rope. Habib Ali Pahalwan screams in pain, holding his right arm, as he lays on the floor. McGuinness and a trainer run over the Habib. The trainer looks him over.
Trainer
It looks like it is only a pulled muscle. Let me get him over to the trainers room.
Nigel
Habib, you need to get yourself into shape. You are falling behind because you keep having to take time off with injuries. Get him taken care of.
The Battle Royal continues. Camir Rutkowski goes after C.J. Rose with a fury. But, Rutkowski seems to not notice what is going on around him, as Chase Monroe comes up behind him and throws him out of the ring.
Billy Kickingwing gets dropkicked over the top rope by C.J. Rose.
Chase Monroe is on fire, hitting multiple people with suplexes and spinebusters. He his Danny Powell with a beautiful Northern Lights suplex. As Powell gets to his feet via help from the ring ropes, Monroe sends him over the top rope with a clothesline.
Todd Lilly decides to go to the top rope for a move when Jeremy Redonson tosses him out to the floor.
Jed Winchester and Rick Vanover team up to throw the large Romeo Ortega out.
Rick Vanover laughs at Ortega, telling him to shin his boots. After he turns around, Helios Belesis clotheslines him over the top rope.
Cephus O'Reilly throws Rose over the top rope via a backbody drop, but Rose skins the cat. Cephus sees this and charges at Rose, who slides under the bottom rope. Cephus' momentum takes him over the top rope and to the floor.
Chase Monroe is on fire again. He takes out most of the contestants in the ring. After suplexing Brent Rolling, he goes to throw him out. However, Rolling sidesteps and is able to use Monroes momentum to send him over the top rope to the floor.
Adam King and Jed Winchester are trying to throw each other over the top rope. Rose comes up behind and sends both of them over the top rope. Winchester is able to land on the apron and get back into the ring. King isn't so lucky, as he hits the floor and is eliminated. Winchester rolls over into the corner to take a breather.
Caleb Romero is thrown over the top rope by Michael Andrews at the same time that C.J. Rose throws Brent Rollins out of the ring.
Jed Winchester, seeing an opening, quickly gets up and dumps C.J. Rose over the top rope right after he eliminated Rollns.
Winchester is celebrating like he has won when Caleb Romero clotheslines him from behind for the elimination.
The match is down to three: Jeremy Redonson, Caleb Romero, and Helios Belesis. Each man go into a corner for a quick breather.
Suddenly, they all meet in the middle, trading chops, punches, and kicks. Caleb catches Jeremy with an elbow, causing blood to be released from his nose. Jeremy backs away into a corner.

Helios is able to send Caleb over the top rope for the elimination with a rough clothesline. Jeremy is able to get off the mat and sneak up behind Helios.

We are in the gym and see Gavin Loudspeaker and referee Bryce Remsberg in the ring.
Loudspeaker
Our first match consists of the team of C.J. Rose and Romeo Ortega verses the team of Camir Rutkowski and Caleb Romero.
Camir yells at Rose about watching his knees, as he may take them out. Rose appears unaffected by the supposed trash talk. Rose worked Romero over and tagged in Ortega. Romero was able to turn the tide and tagged in Rutkowski. Rutkowski was aggressive and threw Ortega out of the ring. When Ortega tried to gain a breather, Camir went to the top rope and hit a moonsault on Ortega who was on the floor. Ortega couldn't get back into the ring before the count of 10 by Remsberg. Rutkowski and Romero win by count out.
Winners: Rutkowski and Romero
Loudspeaker
Out next match features the team of Rick Vanover and Billy Kickingwing verses the team of Helios Belesis and Michael Andrews.
The rivals Vanover and Kickingwing were randomly chosen to team. Vanover told Kickingwing to sit in the corner and let him do the work. Vanover held his own against Belesis and Andrews for a few minutes, then Belesis caught Vanover in the crossface. Vanover was close enough to Kickingwing to tag him in, but instead grabbed the ropes for a break. Vanover was able to hit a spear on Belesis. As Vanover was moving in for the kill, Kickingwing tagged himself into the match. Kickingwing went back and forth with both Belesis and Andrews. Kickingwing had Andrews pinned when Belesis came in for the pin break. Remsberg escorted Belesis out of the ring as Vanover came in and speared his own partner.

After the match, Vanover and Kickingwing got into a shouting match.
Winners: Vanover and Kickingwing

Our third match features the team of Adam King and Todd Lilly verses Cephus O'Reilly and Habib Ali Pahalwan.
Pahalwan looked sick during the match. He told Remsberg that he REALLY needed to go to the bathroom. Remsberg told him he wasn't going to stop the match just for him to go to the bathroom. So, Habib poked him in the eyes, causing the DQ. Habib then ran as fast as he could to the bathroom.
Winners: King and Lilly

Our final match pits the team of Danny Powell and Brent Rollins verses the team of Chase Monroe and Jed Winchester.
Good back and forth match. Monroe and Winchester actually worked well. Rollins and Monroe were in the ring when Rollins slapped Winchester, who was on the apron. Winchester started to go after Rollins, but Remsberg held him back. While this was going on, Powell came up behind Monroe and knocked in out with the brass knucks. Rollins, not knowing what happened, took advantage and pinned Monroe for the win.

We are inside the gym with the 8 contestants up for elimination and the 3 trainers.
Val Venis
You 8 are up for elimination. Belesis and Rose, I think both of you have improved much in this competition. Neither one of you are done. You both will be here next week.
Mike Quackenbush
Michael Andrews, you have improved also. You have shown more fire, but I think you can show even more. You are safe for this week, but I still think you are on the bubble.
Nigel McGuinness
Habib, you are out of shape, leading you to be injured a lot. Then, you eat so much last night that you cannot even wrestle today. We have decided and, to be honest, this is any easy decision. Habib, you are just not...
Chase Monroe
Stop! Mr.Venis, you were right when you said I would have to make compromises in my integrity if I wanted to be a pro wrestler. I don't want to make those compromises. My faith is my strength and I will not let go of my strength. I will leave, knowing I left with my integrity intact. Thank you for the opportunity, but you showed me that this profession is a sin.
Monroe walks out as the show ends.
