JANUARY 1, 2018 BACK ALLEY OF THE ROCKS SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA CAMERA: ON
IN 13 DAYS, UNION BATTLEGROUND PREPARES TO BEGIN THEIR SECOND SEASON AT THE QUDOS BANK ARENA. TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES AWAY AT THE HISTORIC AREA OF SYDNEY’S CITY CENTRE, JUST SOUTH OF SYDNEY HARBOUR, THE STREETS HAVE BECOME DESERTED AS THE PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS OF THE NEW YEAR HAVE COME TO A CLOSE. SOMEONE WHO JOINED IN ON THE CELEBRATION IN AUSTRALIA IS ONE AXTON PIERCE, WHO SPENT HIS SUNDAY LIKE MOST AUSSIES AND TOURIST WATCHING FIREWORKS AT PORT JACKSON. IT'S NOW 10 PAST 1 AND PIERCE HAS GONE EXPLORING, FINDING HIMSELF IN AN ALLEYWAY NEXT TO THE PUBS AND SHOPS. HE USES THIS TIME TO RECORD A MESSAGE FOR THE BELIEVERS.
AXTON PIERCE Guess who's back… back again… Pierce is back… tell all of your friends.
HE PAUSES AND SMILES.
AXTON PIERCE For those who don't know me, my name is Axton Pierce. I am the man who dawns the name of “Bruiser from the Pool”. I am a man who's follows a straight edge path in his life. I am THE man to have wrestled god and come out victorious!
HIS INCOMING EXCITEMENT CEASES FOR THE MOMENT AS HE BECOMES A BIT SERIOUS.
AXTON PIERCE But I'm also a man who has suffered defeat. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve let my guard down, I’ll own up to it.But that, boys and girls, is a thing of the past. Today is a new day. Today is a new year. Today is the day I vow to you, the supporters of the Battleground that I, Axton Elliot Pierce, will make 2018 the year of the Bruiser. And that year starts in 2 weeks.
Jordan Rayburn. You and I are quite similar, huh? We’re both metalheads, we both started our wrestling careers at 19, we both have sadistic personalities. If I’d knew better, we were probably meant to be the best of friends, huh? I can see it now, you and I, raising hell. But then again, maybe at the end of the day, we're just so different. See, I know nothing about you, other than what's your profile. Quite frankly, come to think of it, I don't give a damn because as far as I'm concerned you are just an obstacle.
Reminds me of that scene in The Punisher, don't know if you seen it, nothing major being spoiled, so I'll tell you about it. The scene goes, it's Frank Castle, he's working this construction job. Not really building much but he is keeping himself occupied with this wall and in his hands is this sledgehammer and he's just wailing away, and wailing away. Up until the wall just gives in… Why do I tell you that, huh? See, Rayburn… you're that wall. You're a tough son of a bitch, I can tell. But I'm Frankie Castle with that sledgehammer and I'm gonna Pummel and I'm gonna Thrash, I'm gonna Batter and I'm gonna Bash until YOU. GIVE. IN.
HE WIPES HIS MOUTH AND LAUGHS.
AXTON PIERCE But you know what's even better…
HE CLOSES HIS EYES AND BEGINS TO SHAKE HIS HEAD TO THE SONG IN HIS HEAD.
AXTON PIERCE … than hurting you. That stipulation, beautiful stipulation. A chance at winning a medallion and not just any medallion. A medallion that guarantees me a shot at the BIIIIIGGGG PRIZE.
HE STOPS THE HEAD SHAKING AND JUST SMILES.
AXTON PIERCE I don’t plan on losing this opportunity, Jordan, I hope you know that. I hope you also know that what I do to you on Sunday, January 14th at an unknown time in the night at the Qudos Bank Arena is not personal. It’s not. In fact, now that I think of it, you’ll be the first victim of The Bruiser… in the new year. That just makes things even better for you, ‘cause as my gift to you for being lucky number one of the new year, I will give you your first loss at Union Battle. Oh, yeah. Axy gonna give you that loss good. Hey! I’ll toss in a bonus, I'll even give you a nice little bow with that loss, because I’m a nice guy, Jordan, I really am. To further prove how nice of a guy I am, I’ll even gift your little girlfriend a little something: the bruised and battered body of her boyfriend after I’m done with him. You may be thinking “this guy is all talk” and that might be true… right this very moment, but in two weeks…
HE BEGINS TO LAUGH MANIACALLY
AXTON PIERCE You'll see. YOU. WILL. SEE. Just how real my words can get.
AND WITH HIS LAST WORDS, THE CAMERA CUTS OFF AND THEN A SCREEN OF STATIC TAKES OVER. FOLLOWING IT, A MESSAGE TO THE BELIEVERS:
“2018. YEAR OF THE BRUISER.”

We open up to the Sapporo, Hokkaido home of Jordan Rayburn and Rukia Matsuoka. Jordan is outside in this cool weather before he looks up from his phone.
"Ya know this is my first time back in the states in what feels like years! well it's been a few months actually... but boy oh boy am i glad ta be back! Ta be back in one shitty country! Now don't git me wrong, i'd rather be in the good ole US of A anyday over being in Russia, but hell man i just gotta say i like Japan that much better. I mean where else am i gonna git ta see my favorite bands and shit?"
"Ye know i'm goin' off against an interestin' feller here in a few weeks from now. Axton... something or another, well Axton you should feel proud my friend! Yer goin' ta be the first punk ass who gits beaten by the Hardcore Redneck, the Otaku King him self, ME! Now we do have some things in common just like ya said pal, but here's the thing other then enjoying the best genre of music out there and startin ta wrestle around the same age there ain't much else. Hell i'd even go as far ta say that other then that me an' you ain't got much of nothin' in common after that."
"Axton yer my debut match back in the states! Now only if this we're no DQ and in the 'Ole Rupp Arena! Then that there would be one perfect return! But sadly it's not... wait, wait a minute! We ain't even goin' to the states! I coulda sworn we were! we're goin ta Australia! Holy shit i'm gonna see some Kangaroos in person! Fuck the states me and Rukia are gonna go catch us a Kangaroo! Fuck man win or lose the match i'm still gonna win at the end of the day, well... crap it's not even winter there is it? It's summer there, in January! What a weird place... now i'm gonna die of heat exhaustion before i even git to the arena... Well anyway this is all beside the point..."
"Axton Pierce, ye better be ready buddy 'cause the hardcore redneck is comin' and Jordan Rayburn, and even more importantly MASAMURA-kokka are going ta make an example outta you just like we did ta that chump Anton Chase! I hope yer ready, 'cause MURAMASA-kokka is coming..."
