Before The Sacrifice { We open with a highlight reel of last week’s Before the Sacrifice set to the tune of Born for One Thing by Gojira. Following the opening sequence of Before The Sacrifice we head the studio where Laura Howlett and Keybo Shabaz stand. }Laura Howlett: Welcome to before the sacrifice! I’m your host, Laura Howlett! And this walking antidepressant ad next to me is Keybo Shabaz! Keybo Shabaz: I’ll have you know depression is no laughing matter, Laura. Laura Howlett: Especially not when you spread like a plague, Keybo. Keybo Shabaz: It wouldn’t kill you to show me atleast a little respect. Laura Howlett: You’re right, it wouldn’t. Now that we’ve moved past Keybo’s little therapy session we have a big show for you tonight! Keybo Shabaz: Cals Jacosben will be in action! Along with the number one contenders to the tag team titles, Violent Tendencies! Laura Howlett: We’re going to see Abraxes slaughter a man! Keybo Shabaz: Johnny Somebody will be in action against Nate Fate! Laura Howlett: And finally we are going to be joined by the great, Almir Sayed during the main event with Nick Danger! Keybo Shabaz: It’s going to be a phenomenal show! Let’s go to the first match! SINGLES MATCH Cals Jacobsen vs Kai Sachiko { We see highlights of Cals making their entrance with Kai already in the ring. }Keybo Shabaz: Cals has been steadily working their way back into title contention. LAura Howlett: A win here could be all they need to seal the deal for a future title opportunity. { Cals didn’t waste anytime hitting a European upper cut as soon as the bell rung. Cals would then take Kai down with a snapmare and go for a cross armbreaker. Kai would manage to reach the ropes and mount a small come back with some mid riff kicks followed by some hard chops across the chest of Cals. Cals would come roaring back with rear waist lock into a side headlock takedown. Cals would press their advantage from there and lock in a triangle choke. Kai would manage to claw her way to the ropes to break the hold. Kai would connect with a spinning heel kick and a step up enzugiri. Cals responded with a snap powerslam. Cals then connected with a System Shock and nearly a three count but KAi managed to kick out. Cals then grabbed Kair with the Spectrum Plex! Cals then locked in a sharpshooter and that was it as Kai tapped out at four minutes and fifty four seconds. }Laura Howlett: Cals put on a clinic tonight! Keybo Shabaz: You can’t argue the raw talent of Cals Jacobsen! Laura Howlett: Next up we’ve got possibly my favorite tag team in the division looking to rack up another win on their date with destiny! TAG TEAM MATCH Violent Tendencies vs Warren Suffering and Mr. Happy { Violent Tendencies make their full entrance while Happy and Warren wait in the ring. }Keybo Shabaz: Violent Tendencies have been on an impressive winning streak since joining forces. Laura Howlett: They mentioned a few weeks back if they had been together during the World Cup they would be the ones holding the tag team titles already and it’s hard to argue against that. Keybo Shabaz: They will have their chance to find out in two weeks when they meet the Powers that Be at Night of the Immortals! { Terrella started things off with Warren Suffering and very nearly ended the match with a spear to start things off and a two count but Happy was there for his partner. Terrella would battle Happy back to his corner and clothesline him over the top rope. Terrella would turn back to Warren who was still recovering and just mow him down again with a huge leaping shoulder block. Terrella scooped Warren up off the mat and hit a running powerslam into the corner before tagging in Chris. Diamond came in hot hitting the Mule on Warren followed by a Fist Full O’ Dollars when he tried to stand. Chris dragged the body of Warren over to Happy so that Happy may enter the ring. Happy tagged and walked right into Hang’em High! Chris tagged Terrella back in. Terrella came right in with the Body Shot and followed it up with the Diffuser. Chris re-entered the ring and Violent Tendencies connected with the Brutalizer on Happy for the pinfall and the victory at just past the four minute mark. }Laura Howlett: Put another win in the VT column, these guys are on a roll! Keybo Shabaz: It’ll be interesting to see how they pair up with Powers that Be, both teams are undefeated and incredibly impressive. Laura Howlett: That’s what makes this sport good. Winners fighting winners for belts! Keybo Shabaz: Next up we’ve got Johnny Somebody going up against Nate Fate! SINGLES MATCH 1K RP Word Limit Johnny Somebody vs Nate Fate { We see highlights of both men making their respective entrances. }Laura Howlett: Can I tell you a secret, Keybo? Keybo Shabaz: What’s that? Laura Howlett: I kind of hate both of these guys. Keybo Shabaz: I’ve been waiting for you to slip back into insulting everything and everyone. Laura Howlett: I’m just not a fan of these do gooder types out here just trying to entertain the crowd. They should be focused on winning matches and championships! Keybo Shabaz: I think that is what they’re focused on. Laura Howlett: I think one is focused on being the comedy act and the other is focused on following another guy who preaches about God not wins. Keybo Shabaz: Let’s just get to the match. { Things started off slow with a tie up in the middle of the ring. Johnny started to over power Nate so Nate broke the hold and ducked behind Johnny, hitting him with a full nelson suplex. Johnny wasn’t about to stay down and take a nap. Johnny nipped back to his feet and ducked behind Nate hitting him with a release german suplex! Nate got right back to his feet and connected with a spinning wheel kick followed up by a high knee. Johnny seemed stunned for the moment and Nate nailed him with a dropkick. Nate went for the cover after the dropkick but Johnny was able to power out of it. Nate brought Johnny back up to his feet. Johnny hits several blows to the midsection of Nate before moving into some very hard chops across the chest of Fate. Johnny would hit a pop up knee strike followed right up with a sitout hiptoss. Nate tried to mount a quick comeback after a pinfall attempt by Johnny but Somebody pumped the brakes on that with a pump kick. Johnny hit a big European upper cut and then a Sheerdrop Brainbust for a two count. Nate would comeback from that with a roundhouse kick feint followed by by a legsweep. With Johnny down Nate hit a standing moonsult and a two count. Nate would peel Johnny off the mat and whip him into the corner. Nate came in with a Destiny Kick in the corner! Fate pulled Johnny out for the cover but it was only a two count. Johnny came back with some well placed knife edge chops that really lit up the chest of Nate Fate. Johnny connected with a lariat that sent Nate into the corner. Johnny then hit some charging shoulder thrusts in the corner. Johnny then pulled Nate out and up for a spinning sitout powerbomb and a cover. Nate was able to kick out at two. Johnny pulled Nate up to his feet and hit him with an Alabama slam. Nate managed to kick out again. Johnny stood Fate up but Nate hit a leaping knee strike followed by a legsweep and then a superkick to the kneeling Johnny. Nate pulled Johnny up and lifted the smaller man up onto his shoulders for the Great Spin and a two count as Johnny kicked out. Nate pulled Johnny up again and connected with a Nightmare DDT! Nate made the cover but Johnny was too close to the ropes and broke the count. Nate pulled Johnny up once more looking to finish him off in the center of the ring but Somebody hit a barrage of punches to the gut followed up by a huge discus lariat to Nate Fate. Johnny then grabbed Nate Fate and connected with the Somebody Slam in the center of the ring for the pinfall and the victory bringing this battle to an end at ten minutes and twenty two seconds. }Keybo Shabaz: What a tremendous match up! Johnny Somebody and Nate Fate went to war! Laura Howlett: It was all right. Keybo Shabaz: Are you kidding me? Laura Howlett: I have a hard time getting invested in clowns. Call me when Johnny grows up and his balls drop and I’ll care. Keybo Shabaz: Well I thought the match was fantastic and both these guys really gave it their all. Laura Howlett: I’m much more interested in our next match. Abraxes looking to add another body to the count! SINGLES MATCH 1K RP Word Limit Abraxes vs Adel Trevant { We watch the full entrance of Abraxes while Adel stands waiting in the ring. }Keybo Shabaz: I can’t imagine what it must feel like to see Abraxes entering the ring knowing you’re about to face him? Laura Howlett: You’ll notice none of his opponents are ever dumb enough to wear trunks. Keybo Shabaz: Probably for the best. { Abraxes hit Adel with a very nasty clothesline right from the start and things didn’t get better for Adel from there. Abraxes would peel Adel off the mat and hit him with a huge urinagi that seemed to knock Adel unconscious. Abraxes didn’t go for the pin however, instead opting to connect with a steady stream of headbutts before hitting Adel with a fall away slam. Abraxes would pick Adel up again and drap his legs on the ropes for Hush. Abraxes then pulled Adel up before kissing him goodnight on the forehead and laying Adel out with Consign to Dream for the pinfall and the win at two minutes and five seconds. }{Following Abraxes’s victory, he prepares to make his departure -- only to be interrupted by the sudden beginning of “The Devil Don’t Sleep” by Brantley Gilbert; Abraxes jolts his head toward the curtains, where the other half of Gods & Monsters emerges from behind the curtains with a microphone clasped in his hand. He doesn’t waste any time marching down to the ring, and while still walking, raises the microphone to speak.}Locke: You jus’ hold your goddamn horses, ah’right?! {Locke said. The comment caused Abraxes to tilt his head as he chatters his teeth a few times, awaiting to hear what Locke had to say. Locke gets onto the apron and finally into the ring, and fearlessly stands in front of Abraxes.}Locke: Ah’right, mister, I got a bone to pick with you! {Locke points his finger at Abraxes, as if to accuse him…}Locke: Two times! {He holds up two fingers to Abraxes, before pointing at him again.}Locke: Two times! We went into the ring to fight The Powers That Be, an’ TWO TIMES you were the reason that we lost! Now, now, people are sittin’ around an’ thinkin’ that this is gon’ be some sorta implosion of Gods & Monsters, an’ let me ease those minds of yours… That’s not happenin’. What is happenin’ is that Abraxes is gon’ apologize to me. Right here. Right now. An’ we’ll be on our merry way. It’s that simple, pal! Apologize. {Locke licks his lips as he takes a couple steps toward Abraxes. Locke has a cocky grin on his face. “We’ll wait right here… I got nowhere to be.” Locke says without raising the microphone, the audio only barely audible, and Abraxes turns his head away from Locke. “Come on, buddy… this doesn’t have to be hard. Don’t make it hard.” Locke continued, still without raising the microphone. Abraxes tilts his head again, and then -- BAM! A powerful punch from Abraxes sends Locke straight to the mat! Locke bounces back up to his feet, dropping the microphone in the process and raising the dukes whilst Abraxes is still raining powerful punches at the Trickster.Abraxes battles Locke against the ropes, but Locke suddenly brings a finger up and hits him with the cowpoke; Abraxes is momentarily dazed, but almost unphased by it, he starts raining more and more heavy shots on Locke as Locke’s arms are starting to give from trying to defend… Locke is forced down, and crawls out of the ring to escape the onslaught. The lights go out in the arena.The lights came back on just a moment later, and Abraxes seemed to have emerged behind Locke… Locke turns around and is met back with stiff shots, before Abraxes grabs Locke by the head and charges him head first into the steel post! Locke tumbles to the ground, but rolls through and back to his feet. He’s staggering. The lights go out, and come back on again with Abraxes yet again behind Locke; he grabs Locke and throws him into the barricade at full force! The barricade almost collapses over.{Abraxes tilts his head back and forth while looking at Locke, and finally goes for his own departure. But Locke, while laying on the ground, snaps his fingers a few times and a crew member hands him a microphone. He groans in agony.}Locke: Oh… oh, man! You pack quite a punch! But this ain’t over, Monster. This ain’t over!{Locke rolls over and props himself up onto his elbow.}Locke: You an’ me… MONSTER… YOU. AND. ME. At Night of the Immortals… an’ you know what? It’s gon’ be a BAR ROOM BRAWL! That’s right, Monster. That’s fuckin’ right! You’re gon’ meet me… in MY saloon! The only way one of us wins… is when the other CAN’T get up! An’, boy, I’m gon’ break everything I can over you until you give me what I want.{Locke falls back onto his back, breathing heavily, as Abraxes seems content with the challenge. Some of the medical staff come out to check on Locke, but Locke shakes them off.}Locke: Don’t fuckin’ touch me!{ We cut back to the studio and Keybo with Laura. }Keybo Shabaz: Did we just see the end of Gods and Monsters?
Laura Howlett: It certainly looks that way!
Keybo Shabaz: While that would be a terrible blow to the tag team division if they were to end their partnership I’m sure the match is going to be brutal!
Laura Howlett: Locke maybe shouldn’t have pressed the issue, Abraxes isn’t someone you want mad at you.Keybo Shabaz: I certainly wouldn’t demand an apology from Abraxes for literally anything.
Laura Howlett: I don’t imagine you demand much in your life, being a spineless worm and all.
Keybo Shabaz: Let’s move on to our main event.
Laura Howlett: And our extra special guest!SINGLES MATCH 1K RP Word Limit With Almir Sayeed on commentary Nick Danger vs Ducky Thomlinson { We watch in double screen as Nick Danger makes his entrance and Almir Sayed joins Laura and Keybo in the studio. }Laura Howlett: Welcome Almir! It’s so wonderful to have someone with a functioning brain join me on the show for a change!
Almir Sayed: It is my absolute pleasure, Ms. Laura.
Laura Howlett: Please, just Laura.
Keybo Shabaz: This ought to be fun.
Almir Sayed: Would you mind silencing yourself before you accidentally breath on me and I catch whatever it is you are so clearly infected with.
Laura Howlett: He really should get checked, right?
Keybo Shabaz: Before we get to the match, is there anything you’d like to say directed at Nick Danger, Almir?
Almir Sayed: I’d like to say that his the single worst lead in question I have ever had. As for Danger? All I have to say to him is that I will right the wrongs of my past at Night of the Immortals.{ Nick Danger kicked this match off with a firy start hitting his patented Legacy Cutter just after the bell. Nick would keep the speedy offense up hitting a springboard crossbody on Ducky as well. Nick Danger pressed the opening advantage with a Destiny Knee followed up with a Rising Brainbuster. Danger covered after that but Ducky managed to kick out. Ducky made a small comeback with some chops and a kick. Ducky then hit a ddt on Danger. Nick nipped up to his feet and drilled Ducky with a superkick and a springboard tornado ddt of his own. Danger pulled Ducky up and connected with Sliced Bread. Danger covered but Ducky managed to kickout. Ducky fought back again and hit a clothesline. Danger would then come back with the Natural Shock. Danger would go to the top rope and connect with Caution of Death! With Ducky down and seemingly out, Danger pulled him up and finished Ducky off with the Red Eye and the three count at four minutes and nine seconds! }Keybo Shabaz: Danger picking up another win as he marches into Night of the Immortals set to face off with Almir Sayed in a Man of Steel match!
Almir Sayed: Do not try to inflate that simpletons ego anymore than it already is! Nick Danger can string together as many wins as he likes it will not change the fact that the Foundation of the Federation ends this feud once and for all at Night of the Immortals!
Laura Howlett: Excuse Keybo, it’s hard to think clearly with that much fat choking out the oxygen to his brain.
Keybo Shabaz: I have a thyroid condition.
Almir Sayed: Called the Big Mac!?
Laura Howlett: HAHAHAHAHA!
Keybo Shabaz: Well this has certainly been fun.
Almir Sayed: I wish I could say the same, I feel my IQ plummeting everytime you regurgitate a thought.
Laura Howlett: That’s my struggle. Thank you for joining us, Almir! And thank you everyone at home. For the tub of lard next to me, I’ve been Laura Howlett and we will see you on next weeks Before the Sacrifice! { Close out Almir and Laura now tag team mocking Keybo Shabaz. }

Earlier Today:
{ We see a black 2020 BMW M3 arriving to the Tacoma Dome earlier in the day. Dean Harper can be seen behind the wheel as Angel is in the passenger seat. As the vehicle slows down to pull into a parking spot a horn blares and a lifted white 2021 Ford Raptor plows into the back half of the BMW! The Ford Raptor backs up and then drives into Dean’s door! Chris Diamond hops out of the drivers seat of the Raptor as Stephen Terrella pops out of the passenger side. Both men quickly run around to the passenger side of the BMW as Angel tries to get out! }
Chris Diamond: Oh I don’t fucking think so!
{ Diamond boots the passenger door as it open and Angel’s crashes through the passenger window! Terrella then grabs Angel and drags him out of the car as Chris starts kicking Blake. }
Chris Diamond: No rally speech tonight for you!
Stephen Terrella: Or ever again!
{ Terrella picks Angel up and hits him with a spinebuster on the hood of the BMW. Dean can be seen coming to but he’s struggling. Chris grabs Angel now and hirs the Hang’em High on the hood of the BMW. }
Chris Diamond: Big King! Grab that raggidy mother fucker!
{ Terrella peels the body of Angel off the hood of the car. Chris opens the passenger door nice and wide. }
Chris Diamond: Drop him!
{ Terrella picks Angel up again and powerslams him on the concrete next to the open car door. Chris takes Angel’s left arm and places it in the door jam before closing the door gently on it. }
Chris Diamond: Let’s break that mother fucker!
{ Chris and Terrella both kick the car door as hard as they can crushing Ange’s left arm in the process! Angel instinctively removes his arm from the door and begins to cradle it as Stepehen and Chris make their way back into the Ford Raptor without saying anything else. Dean finally wakes up enough to see the condition of his father and hurries out of the vehicle to check on him as medical staff floods into the scene…
We transition now to the commentary booth. }
Terri Morasco: What the hell did we just see!?
Vasco Dias: I think we just saw Violent Tendencies take Angel out of the tag team title match for Night of the Immortals!?
Terri Morasco: That is horrendous! They need to be fined!
Vasco Dias: They need to be applauded, that was a brilliant master stroke surely of Portia’s design.
Terri Morasco: How can you support their actions!?
Vasco Dias: I simply realize the genius of tipping the scales in your favor.
Terri Morasco: That wasn’t tipping the scales, that was breaking Angel’s arm!
Vasco Dias: Tomato tomato.
{ We head now to the opening video for Sacrifice. }
------------------------------------- SEGMENT Grand tour -------------------------------------
~RECORDED TWO WEEKS AGO~ May 4, 2021 + 11:30 AM (Day 1)
{ We find James Gilmore walking into the main building on the All Infamous Academy in Grapevine, Texas. Nick Danger stands behind him, marveling at the sights and sounds of a fully-reconstructed wrestling and martial arts palace that's come to life. The Islander alum points out the building's features along with its history. }
James Gilmore: This joint used to be the general population unit of the former Sam Houston Reformatory. Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde infamy, once did a stint here for petty theft way back in the day. Now...this place has been fully gutted and reconstructed from the ground up.
{ James points out the ground floor. }
James Gilmore: This here's ground level, split up into four quadrants. You'll be greeted by Miss Nesha over at reception. She'll arrange for you to get an ID badge -- can't work out here without one, security reasons. From there, you'll find...
{ Nick watches as JJ points out the split configuration of the main gymnasium. }
James Gilmore: On the left hand side, you've got a regulation-sized wrestlin' ring. In the middle, ya got state-of-the-art workout equipment; there's also an elevator that'll take ya up and down the levels. On the right hand side, we've got a UFC-regulation mixed martial arts octagon. More often than not, you'll find Crazy Bear Caroline on the MMA octagon, but not today...she's takin' final exams this week.
{ James points out the second floor. }
James Gilmore: Floor two, you'll find places to watch tapes, plus practice your speakin' and promotin' skills. You'll also find a studio room for supplemental trainin' such as personal self-defense.
{ The ex-Islander stretches his arms out before pointing out the top floor. }
James Gilmore: Deck three, you've got our administration center. This is where Fi, myself, and our in-house team will meet up for conferences and stuff. You'll also find the infirmary -- just in case ya need to get patched up after a long, hard day at the office. So...whaddaya think?!
Nick Danger: All this look so awesome. I can’t wait to start training with you Jame -- I always been training all on my own working on high flying and technical wrestling. I just need to really work on wrestling skills more.
{ James nods warmly. }
James Gilmore: I...I feel ya, bud. I spent most of my career trainin' myself too. Takes years and a few gray hairs, but it can be done.
Nick Danger: Hey, James can I ask you a question?
James Gilmore: Shoot, lay it on.
Nick Danger: Do you think I can become a champion in IWF?
{ James took a deep breath and closed his eyes, really reflecting upon how he was going to answer Nick's question. Then...he walked towards the elevator with Danger following, and the two men rode up to the third floor. Eventually, they wound up in Gilmore's office. James closed the door, muffling out the sounds below.
James Gilmore: Listen...time to get serious.
{ JJ sat down in his leather office chair. }
James Gilmore: Bein' a Champion, as excitin' as it is...it ain't the most important thing in the world. I spent many long nights in stir, thinkin' that I was gonna be a Champion -- only to hit rock bottom instead. This gig can be just as cruel as it's rewardin', and not everyone gets to be a Champion. What matters more...is balance. Wrestlin' is more than just the moves or the styles; it's...about the heart, the mind, and the soul.
{ He paused, taking a sip from a bottle of orange Gatorade. }
James Gilmore: The heart, the mind, and the soul...if any of those are off-balance, your work's gonna suffer. In here...you'll not only learn how to defend yourself, but also gain the confidence that's needed in order to take care of yourself and others outside the arena. Not just a wrestlin' arena, but a stadium...for your whole life. Ya learn balance, THEN...you can accomplish your goals. Understand...?
Nick Danger: I understand...if I master the heart, mind, and soul. Because without heart you can’t succeed towards your destiny.Without soul you don’t have passion nor the inspiration to keep going in life. Without mind I will tend to lose sight of what I am fighting for. I will never lose site of those three important things in life.
{ James ekes out a slight grin as he checks his phone, then gives a thumbs up. }
James Gilmore: A shared core value...looks like you're all set. BUT...we won't start your trainin' here on-campus -- at least, not yet. Got a poke from Fi just now...before leavin' for Northern Ireland, she was workin' on a very special project in Arlington. And...she's in dire need of some help to finish it up by the end of May. So...I'll get my keys, and we'll be rearin' to go.
{ James grabs his keys and heads out, with Nick follows closely -- wondering what might come next. }
------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH 1K RP Word Limit With JC Keeton on commentary Ulf Hednir vs Phillip Deforrest -------------------------------------
{As ‘final countdown starts’ Phillip walks heroricly from the back, strikes a pose, then runs into the ring to take his place in the ring}
Vasco Dias: I hope we see an upset tonight with Phillip Deforrest taking this victory! There’s just a part of me that can’t help but feel that Ulf needs to be knocked down a peg.
Terri Morasco: You say that every week, and for what? What do you have against him?
Vasco Dias: He just needs to be knocked down a peg.
{The opening introduction for “Raise Your Horns” by Amon Amarth plays over the PA system, and the crowd goes into a frenzy! The music can barely be heard over the sound of the fans. Ulf Hednir quickly shoves the curtains aside, dressed in his wolf headdress, and marches out onto the stage with the IWF World Television Championship being worn around his waist, and his drinking horn held high over his head.}
Ulf Hednir: SKÅL! Crowd: SKÅL!
{Ulf drinks from the drinking horn, and after, turns it upside down to show the crowd that there is nothing left. Ulf attaches the drinking horn to a strap hanging off his primary belt, and marches down the ramp to shake hands or high five many of the fans along the ramp; fans scramble to get as close as they can and he takes an extra moment to ensure he greets as many as he can. Ulf goes around to the right side of the ring, still greeting as many fans as he can until he reaches the timekeeper’s table, where he removes the headdress and the drinking horn, placing them on the table. He walks up to the apron and leaps up, grabbing the ropes, and leaning back to let loose a mighty howl.}
Raise your horns, raise them up to the sky, We will drink to glory tonight! Raise your horns for brave fallen friends, We will meet where the beer never ends!
{The chorus plays over, and Ulf steps between the middle and top ropes before parading around the ring a bit. He removes the championship from his waist, and holds it over his head while showing it to all sides of the crowd. He finally hands it to the referee in charge, and waits for the match to start.}
Terri Morasco: Well, do you dare tell him to his face? Vasco Dias: I’ll tell him later. Terri Morasco: Here’s Ulf Hednir, the reigning IWF World Television Champion! He has raised the bar by so much, and believe it when I tell you… I don’t think there’s anyone in the IWF that gets the reaction that he does from this crowd.
Vasco Dias: It does get rather loud, but that’s part of why he needs to lose. These people need to see that he’s just a man!
Terri Morasco: There is still the rumor going around where they believe he is the legitimate Son of Thor.
{The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits.}
I crawled out the gutter I rose to the top My reign everlasting I can’t be stopped I was made for the throne Rise up til I moan You been waiting on a ruler Well I’m home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. Dressed in black jeans and a Jackhammer t-shirt from the IWF Year One Vintage Collection, he walks to the ring slapping hands with the fans along the way. He takes a seat next to Vasco and Terri and placed the headset on.}
Terri Morasco: Welcome to the announce desk, JC.
JC Keeton: Thanks for having me.
Vasco Dias: Why are you here Keeton? I thought you and Ulf "know each other so well".
JC Keeton: We do, we train together, travel together, and hang out together in our free time. It's called being a friend and I'm here to support him.
{At the sound of the bell, Ulf is able to explode from his side of the ring; Phillip braces for the impact and Ulf takes him down with a shoulder block. Ulf towers over Phillip for a moment before pointing at JC and then charging against the ropes… Phillip rolls onto his stomach, and Ulf steps over him to rebound off the opposite ropes; Phillip springs to his feet during this time and leapfrogs over Ulf, as Ulf rebounds off the ropes a third time - Phillip turns and fires with an enzuigiri! Ulf ducks under, and grabs Phillip’s ankle in an attempt to overpower him but Phillip in a desperate and almost out of instinct rolls forward!}
Terri Morasco: Phillip Deforrest is keeping up with Ulf, does that surprise you JC? JC Keeton: Not at all, I've been in the ring with Phillip. He trains hard but Ulf is on another level. Vasco Dias: Some say he's on another level from everyone in IWF, including our current World Champion, his challenger at Night of the Immortals… and you. JC Keeton: We'll see about that then won't we.
{He sends Ulf into the ropes, and Ulf bounces back with his back to Phillip, and Phillip rolls him into a schoolboy: Ulf kicks out at one!}
JC Keeton: No chance that's gonna work this early against Ulf.
{Both men roll to their feet, but Phillip is the first to strike! He lands an elbow to Ulf’s jaw that seems to stagger him, and advances forward to go for a clinch with the TV Champion only for Ulf to fire with a spinning roundhouse kick! The kick causes Phillip to fall to the mat, but he quickly recovers to his feet, whilst Ulf is still advancing toward him, and Ulf connects with an overhand chop that sends Phillip staggering; Ulf connects with a second overhand chop and now Phillip retreats into the corner… Ulf follows in with a clothesline, but quickly turns around. He points again at JC at the commentating table.}
Ulf Hednir: Watch!
JC Keeton: I see ya buddy.
{Ulf begins firing back with alternating elbows to Phillip! Left and right… left and right… left and right. Phillip is trying to bring his arms up to defend himself, but the elbows continue flying back viciously! After a good ten seconds of driving those elbows back, Ulf steps out of the corner and turns quickly to face Phillip who is staggering out of the corner and Ulf takes him up and down with one of his new moves: the Berserker Bulldozer!}
Terri Morasco: That's a new one! JC Keeton: Yeah it is but as you saw last week I got some new ones of my own.
{Ulf rolls Phillip up for a cover: One! Two! Phillip kicks out!}
JC Keeton: If he can't finish Phillip with it he ain't finishing me with it though.
{Ulf snaps his fingers as if to say “shucks” but gets back up to his feet… he drags Phillip with him, and Phillip punches him in the abdomen! Ulf absorbs most of the damage, and Phillip fires with a few more punches trying to knock the wind out of him. Ulf’s technique works well with absorbing the punches, though, and he fires with an uppercut, and as Phillip stands up fully, he connects with a forearm smash that Ulf wasn’t expecting! Ulf staggers back, and Phillip goes forward trying to keep his momentum rolling.}
Vasco Dias: Phillip Deforrest is going to win this match. I just know it. JC Keeton: You're out of your damn mind, Ulf is just toying with him. He knows better than to do that with me though cause I won't just stagger him, I'll drop him.
{Phillip sends Ulf off the ropes with an Irish-whip, and charges to the center of the ring to collide with him - as Ulf returns, he connects with the Clothesline from Valhalla! Phillip almost flips over from the impact.}
JC Keeton: Good God I felt that in my bones.
{Ulf holds a fist high in the air, clenched as if he were holding a hammer, and the crowd roars as they know what’s coming! He marches to the corner and pounds that fist into the mat after turning to await Phillip; meanwhile, Phillip was wearily getting to his feet… as he does, he turns to face Ulf, and Ulf charges out connecting with The Thor Punch! The crowd gives a loud “Skål” chant, and Ulf walks over to the ropes and points again at JC.}
Terri Morasco: He's pointing at you JC.
Vasco Dias: You wish he was pointing at you Terri.
JC Keeton: Let him point.
{Ulf walks over to Phillip just a couple seconds later, and covers Phillip. The crowd chants with Jessica who is counting for him: One! Two! Three!}
Alison Valance: Your winner! By way of pin fall! ULF! HEDNIIIIRRRRRR!!!!!
{“Raise Your Horns” by Amon Amarth is playing over the PA as Ulf gets to his feet and parades around the ring in victory. Jessica Andrews hands him the championship, and Ulf holds it over his head in the center of the ring. JC stands up and claps for his friend.}
JC Keeton: Hell of a performance by the champ!
Terri Morasco: Ulf continues to impress.
Vasco Dias: He could just stand there and you'd be impressed.
{JC takes of the headset and walks over to the ring and extends his fist up towards the ring and Ulf gives it a bump. JC points at the Night of the Immortals sign and his final words can clearly be heard.}
JC Keeton: Two weeks buddy, it ain't gonna be that easy I promise you.
------------------------------------- SEGMENT UnbreaKABLE VOW -------------------------------------
(Later that same day...)
{ Eventually, the white Tesla, driven by James Gilmore, pulls up to a house in the middle of a tranquil neighborhood. The Islander alum steps out of the driver's side, with Nick Danger hopping out of the passenger seat. }
James Gilmore: Here we are, Wolf Creek Drive. This used to be quite the lively neighborhood back in the 80s -- or so I heard anyway. Okie-dokie...this is where your trainin's gonna starts. Got a lot of work that needs doin' -- Night of the Immortals is just 'round the bend. Are ya ready...?
Nick Danger: I am a little nervous, since this is my first time wrestling at Night Of The Immortals. An event that made IWF Hall Of Famers...truly famous. I am ready for this James.
{ JJ nods warmly, then opens up his car's trunk. He reaches inside and pulls out a white box, then steps inside the house as Nick follows in. Aside from cans of paint and a Swiffer sweeper gadget in the living room area, the house is fully devoid of furniture. }
James Gilmore: There's a first time for everything...
{ He paused, then opened up the box to reveal a hot pink-colored T-shirt, bearing the phoenix crest of the All Infamous Wrestling and Martial Arts Academy. }
James Gilmore: Okie-doke...first, we must make the Unbreakable Vow. On behalf of Fiona and myself...we promise to teach you in the ways of All Infamous, the way of balance -- that's our part. You promise to learn -- what we say, you'll do. No questions -- that's your part. Got a deal...?
{ James presents the shirt to Nick, who takes it and puts it on. }
Nick Danger: I Nick Danger, promise to learn and do everything you tell with no questions asked. I also, plan to never bring dishonor to All Infamous Wrestling and Martial Arts Academy.
{ JJ chuckles, not expecting Nick to be so formal. But even he knew that Danger was an eager personality who was ready to learn. The Islander alum goes to the Swiffer sweeper and prepares for a demonstration. }
James Gilmore: Lesson #1 -- Even the most mundane or tedious tasks...they always have a lesson attached to 'em. This floorin' needs a good shinin' up, and this here gadget will do just the trick. Watch!
{ JJ lunges forward with the Swiffer, motioning as if he's going to scoop up something, but gets back up. He takes two steps forward and does the same thing, except from the right-hand position. Left, right, left...James then hands the Swiffer over to Nick. }
James Gilmore: Sweeper technique. Now...you try it.
Nick Danger: Okay
{ Nick grabs the swiffer and lung forward with it and motions it like he going for a scoop up something, but gets back up. He takes two steps forward and does the same thing, except from the right-hand position. Left, right, left. }
Nick Danger:Like that James?
James Gilmore: Ya got it. Do this technique to the whole floor -- livin' room, kitchen, and master bathroom.
{ James begins whistling to the tune of "Nitro (Youth Energy)", watching as Nick performs the task, driving his shoulders forward with each motion. Several hours later, we flash forward to see the Islander alum return with a couple of bottles of orange Gatorade. He smiles, noticing the distinctive shine on the tile and laminated flooring inside the empty house. }
James Gilmore: Hrmmm...very good work, bud. Ya got the whole thing.
{ He paused, handing one of the Gatorades to Nick. }
James Gilmore: Ya like barbecue? Texas Roadhouse, on my tab. Tomorrow, we'll start again -- at noon.
{ James grabs the house's key and heads toward the Tesla with Nick following. The house is thoroughly locked up as the two men pull away. }
------------------------------------- HANDICAP MATCH Steve Awesome vs The Disciples -------------------------------------
------------------------------------- SEGMENT Vasco Views with Nick Danger -------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: We've got something special coming up next Terri!
Terri Morasco: I have been dreading this moment all night long.
Vasco Dias: Why!?
Terri Morasco: Because I remember the last time you did one of these.
Vasco Dias: One of what?
Terri Morasco: Vasco Views.
Vasco Dias: That's right Terri! Vasco Views makes its grand return to Monday Night Sacrifice! With the best late night host on cable television! ME!
Terri Morasco: I can't take this.
Vasco Dias: I can't hype this enough Terri, it was a great show! Let's get to it!
{ Some cheesy late night show type music plays as we go to a sound stage where Vasco Dias pops out from behind a curtain to piped in applause. Vasco walks over and shakes the hand of the leader of the band, the two exchange a joke before Vasco turns and heads to his desk while waving at the "audience". Vasco takes his seat before giving his opening monologue. }
Vasco Dias: What's the deal with cell phone payments!?
{ Piped in crowd laughter. }
Vasco Dias: I pay more a month to send a text message than I do to drive a car!?
{ More piped in laughter. }
Vasco Dias: In other news, Trump is still banned from facebook!
{ Piped in cheering. }
Vasco Dias: Now I don't want to sound like I'm taking sides politically, I'm just happy facebook did their part in protecting the first amendement!
{ Piped in USA chants. }
Vasco Dias: Okay, okay. That's the monologue. Let's get to the meat and potatoes of this show. As you know this is Vasco Views and I'm your host, Vasco Dias!
{ Piped in cheers and applause. }
Vasco Dias: Tonight we have a very special guest. This man was one of the top talent acquisitions last year. He was part of a very successful tag team. He aided in defeating the hand chosen elite of the head of talent relations, Eddie D., he is... NICK DANGER!
{ Piped in mixed reaction as Nick Danger steps through the curtain. Nick looks around at what is clearly an empty sound stage but the camera doesn't show it before heading over and sitting down on the couch next to Vasco's desk. }
Vasco Dias: Welcome!
Nick Danger: It's great to be here.
{ Vasco straightens up. }
Vasco Dias: Let's get right to the question everyone wants to know the answer to. Why do you want to wrestle Almir Sayed again after so soundly defeating him and the Chosen Elite last year?
Nick Danger: Well, to prove who is the better wrestler in IWF. Last year I defeated him in a tag team match and I never got a one on one match against him. At High Stakes two months ago I challenged Warren Kane for the IWF World Heavyweight Championship. Almir wants to prove who is the best wrestler in IWF. Almir is a great wrestler and he can become world champion. I want to wrestle him again because I want to know who is the best, “The Foundation Of Federation” Almir Sayed or “The New Savior Of Wrestling” Nick Danger that is why I am wrestling him again.
{ Vasco nods his head before continuing. }
Vasco Dias: And you think you what have it takes to beat this new, more determined version of Almir Sayed?
Nick Danger: I know I got what it takes to beat him. He better bring everything he got because I am going to beat him with both of us at full strength and we will bring out the absolute best out of each in our match at Night Of The Immortals. I just hope he is ready to fight the new and improved Nick Danger.
Vasco Dias: It seems you've both tried to evolve as wrestlers since your last match. Almir picking up several singles victories in a row and you yourself also with a winning record lately. Tell me, what's different about Nick Danger now as opposed to the last time you faced Almir Sayed?
Nick Danger: I think what changed from last year is that I've been doing new things and I have started training with James Gilmore to really switch my fighting style in a match.
{ Vasco nods. }
Vasco Dias: Interesting, James Gilmore is a former World Champion so I'm sure he has a lot to teach someone younger in their career. But it does bear pointing out that James Gilmore doesn't have the greatest record against Almir Sayed. Are you sure he is going to be able to help you going into this match?
Nick Danger: I believe he can help me improve my skills to really push myself to become a champion. Last year, he won the joker in the pack match and then became a world heavyweight champion months later. Almir beat me once and I beat Almir once. I believe that me training with a former world champion can improve not only my character but, also my career in IWF.
Vasco Dias: That's a very optimistic opinion. Finally, what do you have to say to the people like Almir Sayed and other's who say Nick Danger will never be a champion in IWF?
Nick Danger: Vasco Dias: We've got something special coming up next Terri!
Terri Morasco: I have been dreading this moment all night long.

Vasco Dias: That's a very optimistic opinion. Finally, what do you have to say to the people like Almir Sayed and other's who say Nick Danger will never be a champion in IWF?
Nick Danger: I have been giving that answer for a awhile now ever since I was in the indies. What I have to say is that they should never doubt me in that ring. Every time I get in that ring I fight with everything I got to win a match. At, High Stakes I gave everything I had in that match against Warren Kane. When I do become champion I will show everyone that doubted me wrong. I will become champion at the end of 2021 because as soon I am finished with Almir I am coming for IWF World Television Championship no matter who holds the damn title.
Vasco Dias: I look forward to you making good on that declaration! Well this has been exhilarating. Thank you Nick for the time.
Nick Danger: Thank you.
Vasco Dias: I am Vasco Dias and this has been Vasco Views with Nick Danger!
{ We cue on the cheesy band music again as Vasco and Nick continue to talk with the microphones off as we head to a commercial break. }
