SEGMENT:Pre-Show------------------------------------
{the camera pans through the crowd while “Riot” by Three Days Grace, the official song of Danger Zone, catching some signs in the stadium “I WANT 2B Infamous too”, “Fight Gabi Fight” “Crystal needs help” “#uridean” “SHEILDWALL 4 ASTRID” “Stromcrow or bust” “I miss Ace” “Team #Longtermbooking” “We believe in Raine!!!”} Rachel Grimes: Hello and welcome to 2019 Danger Zone pre-show. I’m Rachel Grimes, and I’m happy to be back here in Australia. Before we start I want to address the breaking news story from IWF.com. Pandora Freeman-Hall-Kane has retired from in-ring activities to spend more time with her and Astrid’s daughter. We at IWF wish nothing but the best to her. I for one will miss her.
{A flash of the article from IWF.Com and an interview with Pandora pictured holding baby Hope.} Rachel Grimes: But moving on, with me as always is Tyler Jacobs.
{The Camera pans over to Tyler Jacobs in a Being InFamous shirt} Tyler Jacobs: Hi everyone!
Rachel Grimes: Interesting shirt choice tonight, Tyler.
Tyler Jacobs: Rob Diamond spilled coffee all over my other shirt and made me ear this one.
Rachel Grimes: That does sound like something he would do. And our special guests for this roundtable…
{Camera pans over to show Andrew Jacobsen and Bob Pooler.} Bob Pooler: Hey all.
Andrew Jacobsen: Pleasure to be here.
Rachel Grimes: Well, it’s certainly a change having you two here.
Andrew Jacobsen: A little bit of a surprise myself.
Bob Pooler: I did say I was bored so I guess be careful what you tweet, eh, AJ?
Andrew Jacobsen: Maybe? Who can say?
Rachel Grimes: how are you feeling Bob?
Bob Pooler: Well... it’s no secret how bummed I am about missing out on the action and I’m feeling like a lab rat with all the tests that they’ve been running on me.
Andrew Jacobsen: it cant be that bad.
Bob Pooler: Give some more blood, Bob. The needle won't hurt, Bob. Take off your shirt, Bob. Roll over, Bob. Breathe deeply, Bob. Blood sample, Bob. Marrow sample, Bob. Skin sample, Bob. If I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples.
Andrew Jacobsen: You’ll live.
Bob Pooler: oh, I’ll live. But I won’t enjoy it.
Tyler Jacobs: So we have the preshow match with Freakke vs Gen Eric. Who do you think will win?
Rachel Grimes: I believe Freakke has shown himself to be pretty dedicated with this newest return. I think this can only mean good things for him.
Tyler Jacobs: personally I have to agree. He’s done some amazing matches since his return.
Andrew Jacobsen: I’ve faced Freakke before. He has more skill then people give him credit for and I can’t wait to see him this week.
Bob Pooler: Dude is a hard worker. Pity he’s on the pre-show but somebody has to be, huh?
Rachel Grimes: So we all agree that Freakke is the clear winner.
Bob Pooler: Be hard to ignore it, honestly.
Tyler Jacobs: Right, well moving on.
Rachel Grimes: Next up we have Being InFamous vs Method of Destruction. What is everyone’s feelings on this?
Tyler Jacobs: I think the MoD have a chance to really prove themselves here. They have had some of the best training out there and the legacy to back it up.
Rachel Grimes: I have to give it to Gilmore and Diamond.
{ Bob and Andrew exchange a look. } Bob Pooler: Look, I have nothing against either team. James and I have had some heated Twitter conversations in the past. I do think the weird Odd Couple team of Gilmore and Diamond might win this. What do you think, AJ?
Andrew Jacobsen: This is a tough call. This kind of match could go either way. I can’t really call it.
{ Rachel nods } Bob Pooler: I mean sure.
Rachel Grimes: Alright, the number one contender’s match for Luchadora. Thoughts?
Tyler Jacobs: Astrid. Hands down. She’s been kicking in the BFC since her return. She has already beaten Crystal. The match with Ciara was brutal and amazing. She’s going to do what she can to get to the Queen Bee herself in Charity.
Rachel Grimes: you can’t discount Mandi. She’s made a very good impression. She’s more then earned her shot at this title.
Andrew Jacobsen: I’m going to say Gabi. It’s a long shot but she seems dedicated to being the first Latina to hold the Luchadora belt.
Bob Pooler: What? You don’t think Crystal will find motivation for this match? It’s a long shot but this would be her chance to start proving everyone wrong about it her. She’s the underdog and I’m gonna hope it works out for her.
Tyler Jacobs: And the match I’m most looking forward to. Lockwood vs Stormcrow to see who will face Angel at High Stakes. I have goose bumps, does anyone else have goosebumps?
Rachel Grimes: I admit I am a little hype for this match. I think either of these men might have a chance against Angel but I’m going to call it for Caleb. He’s unhinged. He’s gotten darker if possible. The Pack wants to get all the belt again. He’s going to do everything he can to win.
Tyler Jacobs: I know. It’s likely going to be Caleb. But Pax is always a joy to watch in action that I am sure it will be an amazing match.
Andrew Jacobsen: I think you guys are sleeping on Pax here. He’s amazing. He has motivation and dedication. I think he has a real chance to be able to take it to Angel.
Rachel Grimes: you think so?
Bob Pooler: Man, having shared the ring with the kid a couple of times, there is nothing about Pax Stormcrow to not see as a threat. He’s talented and he doesn’t give up. It’s admirable.
Tyler Jacobs: Right, well it’s about time for the preshow match.
Rachel Grimes: Here’s to Vasco and Terri at the ring!
------------------------------------
OPENING MATCHFreakke
vs Gen. Eric------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following Pre-show match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: The crowd is interested to see how Freakke will handle being on the pay per view and I have to be honest the fact we heard nothing from The Clown makes me a little worried.
{Gen Eric is already standing in the ring bouncing on his feet, ready to fight.}
Vasco Dias: Maybe Dresden Dolls are reuniting and he got distracted.
Terri Morasco: I…I don’t think anyone is going to get that joke Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Google it.
Alison Valance: And next to the ring, FREAKKE!
Terri Morasco: I… Hang on I’m getting something from the back.. Can someone get that on camera?
{The camera switches feeds away from Freakke’s entrance to back stage...
... Where we see a brawl breaking out between Amber Cooke and Astrid Hall! Astrid spears the member of the Best Friends Club through a stack of chairs, sending metal clattering everywhere as the two of them collapse into a tangle of angry shouts and furious blows. Cook hits Astrid with a kick on the jaw, giving her space to move away and get to her feet, but Astrid is relentless in her pursuit. The Valkyrie cracks her knuckles as she advances on Cooke who, cornered, pulls a knife from her belt!
Amber lunges at Astrid with the blade, but the Valkyrie quickly slips to the side to avoid being stabbed. Security personnel rush towards the brawl as Amber tries to stab Astrid again, but this time Astrid manages to catch Amber's arm, delivering a pair of swift strikes against her wrist from two directions. Amber lets out a shout of pain that is accompanied by a sharp crack, the knife falling to the ground as Amber clutches her wrist.
Security pushes Astrid away from Cooke as they examine her wrist. Astrid says nothing as she holds up her hands and backs away, nodding to the knife on the ground as Jess Fowler arrives on scene.}Jess Fowler: Woah woah, what's going on?
Amber Cooke: BITCH BROKE MY FUCKING WRIST!!
{A security guard pipes up before Jess can respond.}
Security: She pulled a knife on Hall, sir.
Jess Fowler: A KNIFE?!?
{The security guard shows him the blade, Astrid continuing to remain silent as Jess rubs the bridge of his nose.}
Jess Fowler: Okay. Get... get Amber out of here. To a doctor or something while Astrid decides whether or not she's going to press charges. We'll figure out what to do beyond that. As for Astrid... you're out of the match tonight. I know you could have disarmed her without THAT much damage.
{Astrid smirks and shrugs, not seeming remotely bothered by the development. She shrugs off the security guard as she turns towards the camera. She lifts a hand towards it... and holds up three fingers. After holding that pose for a few moments, she walks off screen and the camera feed ends.}
Vasco Dias: Hot DAMN! It looks like Astrid's war against the Best Friends Club has claimed yet another victim!
Terri Morasco: She's out of tonight's Four Way for the number one contendership, though, so she won't be getting a chance to take Charity's title...
Vasco Dias: Well that's good, at least. Anyway what about the match betw- oh. It looks like its over. Who won?
Terri Morasco: I honestly wasn't paying attention, Vasco. Neither of them look happy, though.
Vasco Dias: ... Back to the pre-show!
------------------------------------
SEGMENT:Pre-Show------------------------------------
{the camera comes back to the round table with all of them looking a little shocked.} Tyler Jacobs: Ah… Well, I have the feeling my prediction for the Luchadora contenders match no longer matters.
Rachel Grimes: I hope both Astrid and Amber are okay…
Bob Pooler: So lets’ get to the Open Weight match? Helena vs Kimberly? I’m gonna give it to Kim. She’s trained by Nighthawk and you know he has been involved with some really good people who’ve come through this company. Jayson, Devlin, AJ, Astrid and even Warren once upon a once.
{Rachel nods.} Rachel Grimes: But you can’t deny the threat that is Helena. She’s something to behold in the ring. She’s not a soft touch.
Tyler Jacobs: I agree. I have to give this to Helena. She’s scary. She’s got what it takes to finally get that belt she has been chasing.
Andrew Jacobsen: I agree with Pooler. Kimberly has what it takes. She’s got talent and a gift. I have no doubt she’s going to win.
Tyler Jacobs: Well, um, let’s go onto the Strong Style match?
Rachel Grimes: This is a hard call. We know next to nothing about Oni. He’s the dark horse of the match here.
{Andrew shakes his head.} Bob Pooler: Look, Dean is a monster in the ring. Doesn’t matter what happened between him and Uriel I think Dean’s going to hang onto that belt like nothing else.
{Bob gestures to Andrew.} Bob Pooler: We’ve seen him overcome the odds before.
Andrew Jacobsen: Thanks Bob.
Bob Pooler: Hey, you beat me fair and square. The fact that Dean beat you? Can’t be undersold.
Tyler Jacobs: Who is your pick Andrew?
Andrew Jacobsen: Look… I know who Oni is. He’s not as much a dark horse as we expect. I’m not sure what his plan is but I can only assume its going to cause chaos in this match.
{Bob and Tyler stare at Andrew.} Andrew Jacobsen: Whoever wins, it’ll be part of Oni’s plan. I have no doubt about that.
Rachel Grimes: Just…does that mean it actually is Nighthawk?
Andrew Jacobsen: Rachel… Come on.
Tyler Jacobs: I think Uriel might be the one to win here. He had Dean’s number last time they faced each other. I think he would like nothing more than to take Dean to his limit and come out on top again.
Rachel Grimes: Phrasing?
Andrew Jacobsen: That’s going to be a gif on Tumblr now, Tyler. I hope you’re happy with yourself.
Tyler Jacobs: A…Oh. Oh. No, I didn’t mean that-
Andrew Jacobsen: It’s too late.
Tyler Jacobs: tumblr please don’t do it.
Andrew Jacobsen: You’ve doomed us all now, Tyler. Good job.
Tyler Jacobs: I didn’t-
Bob Pooler: And here I always took you for more of a KaneHarper shipper, Tyler.
Tyler Jacobs: don’t you start.
Andrew Jacobsen: Hmm. I thought he was more of a DnD shipper myself.
Bob Pooler: Maybe he’s one of those rare shippers who do Xavean?
Andrew Jacobsen: Well, judging from the shirt maybe he is a DiamondHarper?
{Rachel loses the fight not to crack up laughing.} Bob Pooler: You’re welcome @becomignmyinnerdemons. Happy birthday. I hope this was worth it.
Tyler Jacobs: Did you just extend that painful embarrassment out because someone asked you to?
Andrew Jacobsen: the fans will request all kinds of things if you say you’re bored on twitter.
Bob Pooler: She’s a good kid. She’s always there for my twitch streams.
{Tyler groans} Bob Pooler: This brings us to The Women’s World title match, huh?
Andrew Jacobsen: Vivienne. Hands down. She’s a family friend and I don’t see her not putting Rowan to her limits. Rowan might be on a bit of a streak but I think Viv is dedicated.
Tyler Jacobs: I honestly don’t imagine Vivienne beating Rowan here. Rowan beat Brooklyn and Vivienne struggled for months to put her down.
Andrew Jacobsen: I know. But I have faith.
Rachel Grimes: As much as I want Vivienne to win I’m worried for her. With everything going on I don’t imagine this ending well for her.
Tyler Jacobs: You agree Rowan is going to win?
Rachel Grimes: It’s the only thing that makes sense. Unless Eternity--
Tyler Jacobs: Don’t. Don’t tempt her by using her name.
Rachel Grimes: I didn’t say that.
Tyler Jacobs: Just… Let’s not tempt fate, okay?
Bob Pooler: I’m team Vivienne. She’s got what it takes.
Rachel Grimes: This leaves only one match left to discuss. I have to assume it’s one both of you feel personal about.
Andrew Jacobsen: Xavier is my friend. Devlin is my friend. I don’t agree with where Xavier has gone. But I feel even with The Pack backing I think Devlin has the shot to take Xavier down here.
{ Bob gives Andrew a fist bump } Bob Pooler: I’m sorry my health issues are keeping me from backing you up, Dev. But kick his ass. For both of us.
Rachel Grimes: Devlin seems to have the fanbase behind him if the twitter is any indication.
Bob Pooler: Dev has a way with crowds. People believe in him. He’s a fan favorite.
{ Bob glances at the camera. } Bob Pooler: And not to be a conspiracy theorist. But you think Harper’s obsession is going to let Xavier hurt Bae? Nah…
Tyler Jacobs: Stop trolling the fanbase bob!
Rachel Grimes: It’s all in good fun.
Tyler Jacobs: Is it?
Rachel Grimes:But honestly… I’m giving this to Xavier. He worked his ass off to win Heir to the Throne. He fought Dean multiple times to claim his first world title run. You can’t deny he’s given his all to have this belt. He earned this title and I think it will take a lot to take it from him. He has joined The Pack that once held him prisoner. He’s got a big picture in mind and I think he’s not through holding that belt.
Tyler Jacobs: Xavier has been amazing in the ring since his return. I’ll agree with that. I want Devlin to win though.
Bob Pooler: Of course you do. We all do.
Andrew Jacobsen: It’d be nice to have a good guy holding a belt again.
Rachel Grimes: And I’m being told that’s all the time we have. Enjoy Danger Zone everyone! See you next pay per view!

JC and Spencer each mount the turnbuckles and remove their vests before hopping down and handing them off to a ring attendant. }Terri Morasco: Jake Keeton’s team has made some waves-
Vasco Dias: Just not the kind you’d like to make.

He runs up the steps and hops right into the ring doing another little spin before running up to the ropes, putting one foot on the second rope and throwing up the metal horns nodding his head as James runs into the ring and hops up next to Rob. Rob spins off the ropes and falls back into one of the corners of the ring, kicking up his legs to rest on the second rope and looks quite relaxed as James bobs from side to side loosening up. }Vasco Dias: I’ll be the first to say I didn’t see what was so special about these two coming together.
Terri Morasco: And?
Vasco Dias: I’ll just be the first to say that.
Terri Morasco: Well despite what how my broadcast partner feels, Being InFamous has become one of the more popular teams in IWF and I’m excited to see what they do here tonight!

{ James runs past Spencer and gets a big bounce off the ropes and comes running back looking for a cross body but Spencer grabs James out of the air and throws him over his head onto his shoulder and drops James with a samoan drop! }Vasco Dias: A short lived burst of offense!

{ Spencer moves to tag in JC. James is getting to his feet, Spencer and JC comes off the ropes and connect with GRIDLOCK!!!

Gilmore goes for the cover and it’s one, two and a kick out! }Vasco Dias: The Methods of Destruction aren’t going down without a fight either!
Terri Morasco: I wouldn’t expect anything less from Jake Keeton’s proteges!
{ James looks to his corner where Rob is ready for the tag. James runs over and tags in Diamond. James immediately starts to go for the top rope. Spencer is up but Rob connects with one of the moves a of doom, a atomic drop followed by a lunging clothes line. Rob then quickly grabs the legs of Spencer and bends them backward over his head. James comes off the top with a ONE EYED JIMMY!!!! Gilmore quickly rolls out of the ring and Rob covers. One, two and JC breaks it up! }Terri Morasco: This one was almost over for the Methods of Destruction!

{ Rob tags James back in. Spencer is starting to get up, Being InFamous throw Spencer into the ropes, he rebounds into Rob for the slapjack and right to James for the GILMORE CUTTER!!!!

{ Rob and James hug in the center of the ring as Spencer rolls to the outside with JC and Jake. }Terri Morasco: Being InFamous rack up a win here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Look. I don’t like them.
Terri Morasco: And?
Vasco Dias: That’s it.
{ Rob looks to the outside as Jake and his team are leaving and calls them back. Jake, JC and Spencer turn and look. Rob and James invite them back in. Jake shakes his head with a grin and heads into the ring. Rob, James and Jake share a group hug before the two men of Being InFamous raise Keeton’s arms in the center of the ring. }------------------------------------

STRONGSTYLE CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT MATCHOni vs Uriel Black vs Dean Harper(c)------------------------------------
{The match starts off with a frenzy of explosive violence that jumps right to a fever pitch and does not let up. There is visible aggression between Harper and Uriel, but Oni fights with a ferocity that one would usually only expect from someone with a very serious grudge against both men in the ring. None of the trio are able to get the best of one another, and the match spills to the outside as the three of them progressively grow more and more heedless of the rules of engagement. The ref is briefly taken down, which Oni capitalizes on by going for a kendo stick and laying in to Uriel's leg. Uriel goes for a chair to defend himself with, and Dean breaks out the bat. By the time the ref regains his senses, all three men are armed and attacking one another, causing the ref to call the match off by three-way disqualification.}
Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen... STILL IWF Strongstyle Champion... Dean HARPER!!!
{In a fit of rage, Uriel throws himself at Oni, grabbing the man by the head and wrenching the mask off his face. Oni staggers back... only to show that under the wooden mask is a black balaclava that fully covers the man's face - and on it are the words: "HA HA FUCK YOU."
Uriel roars with fury, but Oni stops his rampage with a swift low blow before mimicking crab claws with his hands, waving them in the air, and racing out of the arena.}
Vasco Dias: You know, Terri... I'm beginning to think that might not actually be Nighthawk.

WOMEN'S WORLD TITLE MATCHRowan vs Vivienne Rodgers------------------------------------
{Rowan barely waits for the bell to ring before going after Vivienne. Rowan is ruthless and undeterred in making Vivienne regret stepping into the ring against her. Vivienne takes the hits, has trouble keeping up but seems to be forcing herself to keep trying. Vivienne uses both her finishers but it doesn’t seem to be enough to put the Irish Nightmare away. Rowan knocks them both to the outside and starts an unrelenting beatdown. Vivienne manages to get a pole shift in knocking Rowan into the stairs. Both women are laid out of the outside with Vivienne barely making it into the ring before the 10 count. Vivienne won the match but Rowan retained the title.} ------------------------------------
MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCHDevlin Raine vs Xavier Cross(c)------------------------------------Vasco Dias: “This rivalry has been brewing, Devlin Raine looks to check Xavier Cross, take the world title from him, and possibly knock some sense into him.”
Terri Morasco: “Raine will have his work cut out for him, Xavier bent the knee to Rowan and the Pack, you have to imagine Devlin is looking over his shoulder.”
Vasco Dias: “When he’s looking over his shoulder, Xavier is going to roll him up for the 1, 2, 3.”
Terri Morasco: “Devlin Raine doesn’t back down from any challenges, and this might be his toughest one yet.”
Alison Valance: “The following match is scheduled for one fall!”
IWF Galaxy: “ONE FALL!”
Alison Valance: “And it is for the Imperial Men’s WORLD CHAAAMPIONSHIP!”
IWF Galaxy: “DEV-LIN RAINE! DEV-LIN RAINE!”
Vasco Dias: “It seems this sold-out crowd has chosen their side.”
Terri Morasco: “Can you blame ‘em?”
Vasco Dias: “They spent their money, I don’t have to agree with what they say, but I love when they say it!”{The lights slowly begin to fade, the restless crowd builds their anticipation as ‘Lady Maria’ begins to echo throughout the arena as the crowd sings along. Out steps Devlin Raine, the Red Cap helm tucked tightly under his arm. He pauses for a moment at the top of the ramp, glancing around the crowd, soaking it all in.}Terri Moraco: “Devlin brought backup!”
Vasco Dias: “I can’t stand that stupid Red Cap helmet, but it’s one of the most popular items of IWF shop dot com, check it out now for a special Danger Zone, thirty percent off! It’s dangerously low prices!”{Raine begins to waltz down the ramp, stopping for a moment to lean on the crowd, who soak in their hero. He continues his fluid, dancing motions as he leaps atop a guard rail, looking out to the sea of the crowd, many wearing Red Cap masks themselves. Nodding his head a brief moment, he glances towards the ring as he casually begins to walk the tight rope atop the guard rail, leaping off to the ring steps as he makes his way to across the apron. Setting the Red Cap helm on the turnbuckle, he slowly removes his jacket, tossing it into the crowd as he leaps over the top rope into ring, as he throws his hands up, and the crowd just goes nuts!}Terri Morasco: “That might have been the loudest reaction we’ve heard all night!”
Vasco Dias: “Well deserved I imagine, Xavier Cross has promised to hurt Devlin Raine tonight, this may be the last time we see Raine in a ring, much less on his feet.”{Devlin settles down, as he makes his way over to his corner. Putting his forehead to the Red Cap helm, he grabs onto the ring ropes, stretching out.}Terri Morasco: “Devlin looks as focused as ever, he should have some very interesting tricks up his sleeve tonight.”
Vasco Dias: “He better have ‘em up both sleeves if he hopes to beat Xavier tonight.”{The lights grow bright, before suddenly cutting out. A roar of a dragon echoes through the arena, as a single stream of fire explodes from the center of the stage. As the fire fades down to smoke, ‘X Gon Give it to Ya’ hits the loudspeakers, as Xavier Cross stands in the smoke, title belt strung over his shoulder. The darkness of the arena is soon filled with a flickering emerald light as Xavier marches his way down to the ramp. His eyes fixed on Devlin Raine. The arena quickly fills up with boos as Xavier soaks it in for a moment as he slowly walks up the steps, wiping his feet on the side of the apron before slowly stepping inside the ring. He stands in front of Devlin a few steps back, just starring down Raine, as he slowly holds up the title. The referee quickly steps between the two men, as Xavier backs off a bit, turning his back to Raine as he climbs up the turnbuckle, holding the title in the air, soaking in the boos.}Vasco Dias: “You want to talk about focus, Xavier’s eyes didn’t leave Raine for a second…”
Terri Morasco: “That entrance sent chills up my spine, but Xavier has been known for flashy entrances, not for title defenses..”
Vasco Dias: “Legacies can be forged in a single night Terri, and you can feel the tension in the air become smothering…”{The lights adjust to normal, as Alison Valance steps to the center of the ring.}Alison Valance:“Standing at six feet, two inches...weighing in at two-hundred and ten pounds….he hails from Chicago, Ilinois….he is your challenger….Deeeeevlin….RAAAAINNNNEEE!”{Devlin steps out a bit, holding both his hands up, as the crowd goes berserk for him.}Terri Morasco: “You know Devlin is going to have that momentum in his pocket.”
Vasco Dias: “But can he capture the moment.”Alison Valance: “And...your champion...standing at six feet, three inches, weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds….he hails fro-”{Xavier steps forward taking the microphone, as the crowd begins to rain down boo’s.}Xavier Cross: “I hail from the Pack Compound, and my name is Xavier...Cross…”{Slamming the microphone down as feedback rings through the arena, as he holds up his title. Alison quickly exits the ring as the referee, walks over to Xavier, taking the belt holding it high in the air, as Devlin steps out, cracking his neck a bit, looking at the belt than at Xavier. Xavier stands still, his eyes transfixed on Raine.}Vasco Dias: “It’s about to explode…”{The referee points both men to return to their corners before he rings the bell, neither want to budge before both slowly begin walking backward, never breaking eye contact. The referee looks at either man, before calling for the bell. Devlin explodes out of his corner, charging at Xavier, who drops down quickly, rolling out of the ring as he walks through the arena floor, the crowd begins to boo louder than ever.}Vasco Dias: “Smart move by the champion. Devlin had hot engines, throw him off.”
Terri Morasco: “It’s a coward’s move Vasco!”
Vasco Dias: “You have to play defense sometimes Terri, it’s not pretty, but that’s how you retain titles.”{Xavier stretches a bit on the outside, as the referee orders him to get back in the ring. Looking around, Xavier smirks a bit as he begins to walk away.}Vasco Dias: “...is Cross going to take a ten count loss?”
Terri Morasco: “That son of a bitch, he’d retain!”
Vasco Dias: “Brilliant strategy.”{The crowd is really letting Xavier have it, as he begins to make his way to the time keeper’s area, where his belt is waiting for him as the referee begins his count. Devlin looks furious. Xavier shrugs his shoulders, as Devlin shakes his head, charging forward he springboards to the top rope, leaping into the air, and with a flip, lands on his feet with a superhero-esc landing in front of Xavier, stopping Cross in his tracks. Devlin slowly stands up, pointing a finger at Cross, before throwing a hard forearm into the side of the champions head, shoving him into the barricade before raining down lefts and rights, pummeling Cross. Devlin grabs Cross by the back of the head, throwing him into the ring, and slides in following him. Cross gets to his knees, holding his hands out, throwing up a T with both hands, asking for a timeout. Devlin rolls to his feet, looking at Xavier, before answering his time out request with a step-up enziguri, kicking Xavier in the side of the head, sending the champ rolling.}Terri Morasco: “No mercy from Devlin tonight!”
Vasco Dias: “You see Terri, you need a vicious side to really do what needs to be done.”{Cross rolls towards the ropes, picking himself up as Devlin watches carefully, before charging forward. Cross ducks, lifting Devlin over his shoulder flipping him over the ropes. Xavier steps forward, celebrating, but Devlin caught himself on the apron, grabbing onto the ropes as Xavier turns around, looking stunned to see Devlin standing there, as Raine springboards onto the top rope, leaping forward catching Cross with a springboard blockbuster! Xavier is sprawled out on the mat, as Devlin rolls through onto his feet, he quickly begins to stomp away at the chest of Xavier Cross, not looking for a pinfall early, but to only inflict damage.}Vasco Dias: “Raine showing a mean streak a mile long..”
Terri Morasco: “This is for all the marbles now..”{Grabbing Cross by the hair, Devlin lifts Xavier up to his knees, before slapping Xavier across the face. Xavier staggers a bit to the side, getting onto his feet as he bumps into the referee. Devlin goes to grab Cross, but Xavier lifts his leg kicking Devlin in the dick. Xavier hugs onto the referee, who can't see the dirty tactic.}Terri Morasco: “disgusting tactic!”
Vasco Dias: “Cross had to find a way to slow Devlin down, and that did it.”{Grabbing Raine, Xavier tosses him over the top rope. Raine holds onto the top rope as Xavier springboards on the adjacent rope, dropkicking rain sending him falling backward into the barricade. Laying on his back, Xavier watches Devlin clench his back in pain.}Vasco Dias: “and the momentum has swung for the champ…”
Terri Morasco: “Don't count Devlin out just yet!”{Xavier rolls out from under the ropes, watching Devlin carefully as he slowly walks over, grabbing Devin by the head, before winding back. Devlin throws a snap jab into the gut of Xavier knocking him back slightly, Devlin charges forward but is met with a knee into the gut. Cross grabs Devlin by the back of the head, throwing him into the steel ring steps. Devlin hits his knee on the middle step spinning his body around, his momentum carries him forward as he hits the side of his head on the ring post, as Devlin seems to be in a daze on his hands and knees on the steel steps. Xavier pauses for a moment, looking at Devlin, and at the ring post.}Vasco Dias: “Cross has a look in his eyes…”
Terri Morasco: “This doesn’t feel right Vasco…”{Xavier rolls back into the ring, breaking the referee’s count, as Cross drops down to his knees beginning to unhook the bottom turnbuckle cover. The referee begins to shout at him, but Xavier ignores him. Using the rope that holds the cover to the steel corner, Xavier ties Devlin’s hands together around the post. Xavier leans out, pulling Devlin up a bit, positioning his head right against the post.}Terri Morasco: “No! Someone needs to stop him!”
Vasco Dias: “The referee can untie him…”{Xavier hops out onto the ring apron, taking a moment to size Devlin Raine up for just a moment, as the referee frantically tries to undo the knot holding Raine’s hands together. Cross charges across the ring apron and with a vicious knee strike, he nails the Echoes of Madness right into the side of Devlin’s head, smashing it against the ring post. The referee falls back at the impact of the strike, Devlin Raine’s eyes glass over, as a small trickle of blood runs down the side of his head. Xavier stops for a moment to admire his handiwork, before grabbing onto the ring ropes, pulling himself back on the apron.}Vasco Dias: “Did you hear that thud?!”
Terri Morasco: “This isn’t a wrestling match at all!”
Xavier Cross: “WE CAN BE HEROES!”{The crowd rains down boos, as Xavier holds his hand over his eyes, looking off into the crowd.}Terri Morasco: “And now he’s mocking Bob Pooler?!”
Vasco Dias: “This crowd is not loving this what so ever, but this is what it takes…”{Xavier claps his hands, as he snaps from this playful mocking, into vicious as he charges forward connecting another Echoes of Madness knee strike into the head of Devlin Raine bouncing it off the steel post once more! Xavier hops down, grabbing Devlin’s head, shaking it a bit, as the wound opens up a bit more on the side of his head. The referee slides down to get between them, as Xavier grabs the referee, throwing him backward. The ref calls for the bell, as Xavier has gotten himself disqualified. Cross turns, eyeing the referee for a moment, stepping over the official, as he makes his way to the time keeper’s area, grabbing the world title. He begins to storm off, stopping a moment as he looks at Raine once more. Xavier leaps onto the apron once more, charging forward, this time putting the belt in front of his knee as he slams it right into the side of Devlin Raine’s head, rebounding it off the ring post once more. Cross drops the title onto the apron, as Devlin’s head wound begins to spill blood onto the gold belt, as Cross slides into the ring, moving to where Devlin left the Red Cap helm, picking it up, tucking it under his shoulder before exiting the ring. Cross pauses a moment, looking at his handiwork once more, grabbing the blood-soaked belt, throwing it over his shoulder before he mockingly sways up the ramp, as EMT’s pass him down the ramp to free, and attend to Devlin Raine.}Vasco Dias: “I...don’t know what to say.”
Terri Morasco: “This is sickening...three direct shots to the head…”
Vasco Dias: “I mean, this is the new mentality of Xavier Cross.”{Xavier looks into the camera, licking Devlin’s blood off the title belt.}Xavier Cross: “It’s Raine-ing blood…”{He begins to laugh maniacally, as he holds out the Red Cap helm, like Hamlet clutching the skull, admiring it a bit, tilting his head like a curious dog.}Xavier Cross: “He was not prepared…”{The camera shot, takes us away from Cross, back to Devlin who is getting attended to by the EMT’s, still out cold, his face totally crimson at this point as the camera fades to the IWF logo and trademark.}
