One day, the drifter known as Bitterman happened through Needles. He set out to explore the open sewer hole in the Southwest part of town, hoping to find some loot that someone had left behind. What he found was a large, empty pit. Somewhat discouraged, he left the sewer, and headed for the Acapulco Club.

There in the club, he took part in a few hands of Poker, when soon an arguement broke out over cheating. Soon two men were at each other's throats, and a fight soon broke out in the club. The patrons not involved were placing bets on who would win. This gave Bitterman an idea.

Driven by his own lust for violence, he returned to the sewer. There, Bitterman founded the only professional fighting promotion in New Nevada. A place where people could come from all arround the Wastelands, to settle disputes and to fight to the death. He called his creation "The Pit".

"The Pit" soon spread out beyond Needles, becoming larger then Bitterman had ever dreamed. It branched out into Junktown and Las Vegas. Even the Badland Originals built a Pit in their home, Ground Zero. Soon special divisions were made, and title belts were handed out for each division. Now Bitterman resides over "The Pit", signing matches, refereeing fights, and keeping the whole operation in line.
