AND HAS A THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT.
INTRODUCING FIRST, HAILING FROM SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, “THE IRON MAIDEN,” DAAAAAAAAWN HAAAAAAAAAALIWELL!
Dawn Halliwell, here making her IWF debut.
This girl has a lot of fire in her, that’s for sure.
AND HER OPPONENT, ACCOMPANIED BY MISTER MURPHY, WEIGHING IN AT ‘A LADY NEVER TELLS AND A GENTLEMAN NEVER ASKS’, HAILING FROM POINT PLEASANT, NEW JERSEY, “THE GOTHIC GODDESS”, NAAAAAAAATASHAAAAAAA.
I would say that Natasha looks ready for a fight. I’m not sure what Natasha looks ready for.
I love my job.
Dawn Halliwell, undeterred. What a sign of disrespect from the Iron Maiden.
That is disgusting! Never spit on a lady.
Dawn is female too, Vasco.
But she’s no lady.
We’re going to need a bigger jar.
Dawn showing her technical experience.
Wow. I’m speechless Terri.
Well that makes my life better.
Brash, uncouth but showing utterly no fear in the face of The Gothic Goddess.
You could go for a pin there. I think Dawn just wants to inflict damage.
Remember. The IWF is not PG!
Natasha is going down. It’s party time!
Do you have to make a reference to every song we mention in this match.
No. But I’m gonna.
Give me strength.
I know Halliwell needs a swear jar. But can we get the crowd one?
Ouch. Natasha seems to have snapped out of her fugue.
Obscure goth music isn’t my forte, Terri.
SISTER MACHINE GUN! Natasha is taking control.
Still got nothing.
RENEGADE! Dawn Halliwell is busting out everything she’s got to win in her debut.
Save me.
SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION! SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION! SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION! It’s OVER Vasco!
Stick a fork in Natasha, Terri. She’s done.
DOMINION! DOMINION! Natasha has..

{We see the image of a twinkling field of stars slowly appear on-screen as a truncated version of "Tempest," an original piece from David Chappell, begins to play. We see several short passages appear in large yellow letters, in a manner similar to the opening crawl found in the Star Wars film franchise.}"When a man falls under an evil influence,
he grows cold, dies, and dark shadow falls over his soul."
"He becomes fueled by anger, possessed by hatred;
yet left with nothing but an empty hole."
{The music swells as the next passages appear on the video.}"Now he seeks to pick up the shards of a time thought passed,
and forge them into a legacy worthy of song."
"For history tells us that nothing is over until it's over,
for a man's heart will always remain strong..."
{The music reaches its conclusion as a Twitter hashtag fades in.}#D2D
{The hashtag and twin D's fade out, leaving the number two all by its lonesome. Several new digits slowly fade into the twinkling starfield, revealing...}~2018~
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
{"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way.}Alison Valance: Now residing in Arlington, Texas, weighing in at 135 pounds...FIONA...MCFLY!
Terri Morasco: Fiona demanded a match, and she got one here tonight in the form of Sara Garcia who was none too pleased with the outcome of her last match.
Vasco Dias: Fiona asked for this? Well, be careful what you ask for.
Alison Valance: And her opponent…
{“Over You” by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Sara comes out to a negative reaction as she holds her hand in the air above her head, her index finger pointed down at herself as she does a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking herself up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Alison Valance: From San Diego, California, weighing 135 pounds…SARA GARCIA!
{Sara jumps up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off her beauty before sitting on the middle rope and swinging her legs to the left, pulling the rest of her body in as well. She poses again for the crowd who boo as Sara waits for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: Do you blame her for not being happy? Anytime there’s a multi-person match, it’s someone else who takes the fall. She’s been proving she is more than capable when it’s up to her.
Terri Morasco: That might be so, but this is wrestling, and there’s going to be times where there’s circumstances out of your control, and she’s going to have to learn to deal with that.
{The referee signals for the bell and we’re under way with the two women meeting in the center of the ring, Sara taunting Fiona who blows her off...but can’t blow off a slap to the face.}Terri Morasco: How often do we see that?
Vasco Dias: She flat out said she doesn’t respect Fiona...now she’s showing her.
{Fiona rubs the side of her face before rapidly turning and taking down Sara, hammering with some rights and lefts until Sara manages to kick her off and roll outside the ring. She holds a finger up to Fiona who is being held back by the referee.}Sara Garcia: WHOA! HOLD UP!
{Fiona backs off per the referee’s request as Sara climbs back on the apron, slowly getting back into the ring. Fiona goes to charge forward and Sara ducks between the ropes again. The referee backs Fiona off, but not far enough as Sara is able to bring her foot up and kick Fiona right in the face!}Terri Morasco: Oh come on! What a cheap shot!
Vasco Dias: She was looking right at her. How was it a cheap shot!?
{Sara comes back through the ropes with a smile on her face, her arms outstretched, taunting the crowd who are none too happy with how she’s gotten the advantage. She reaches down and tries to pull Fiona to her feet, FIONA ROLLS HER UP WITH A SMALL PACKAGE!
ONE! TWO! NO!
The two break free and are on their feet when Sara knees Fiona right in the gut. She sends her to the ropes. Before Sara is able to execute a move, Fiona is able to take her down with a Headscissors that sends Sara spinning, even upon returning to a vertical base. She spins right into Fiona who lifts her up and slams her to the mat with a Scoop Slam. Seeing this is her moment, Fiona does something we rarely see her do and she climbs the turnbuckle on the outside, ascending to the top. She looks down at the fallen Garcia and takes a deep breath, leaping off the top rope, driving an elbow right into the cold black heart of her opponent. She hooks a leg but only gets a two count for her trouble.}Terri Morasco: Fiona going high risk!
Vasco Dias: I didn’t even know she knew that move.
{Fiona looks to have all the momentum, lifting Sara to her feet, hooking her up and looking for a Vertical Suplex, but Sara is able to hook her leg, blocking the attempt, not once, but twice before Suplexing Fiona!}Terri Morasco: A nice counter by Sara.
Vasco Dias: And she’s not done.
{Sara spins her hips and picks Fiona up hitting a second Suplex before rolling through and hitting a third! Both women are down in the center of the ring, but not for long as Sara looks over and sees Fiona down, crawling toward the cover...ONE! TWO! NO!}Terri Morasco: Fiona with the resiliency to kick out of the Triple Vertical Suplexes.
Vasco Dias: Sara took some time to make the cover, and I think it cost her.
{Sara gets to her feet and sees Fiona is still struggling. She goes to the corner and hoist herself up on the second turnbuckle, waiting for Fiona to get to her feet, and when she does, and turns around, Sara lunges off the corner with a Missile Dropkick to the chest, taking Fiona down hard.}Terri Morasco: Sara is building some momentum here.
Vasco Dias: Was there doubt? We’ve seen this movie before.
{Sara gets up and measures Fiona who is slow to her feet after the Missile Dropkick. Fiona turns and Sara goes for the Standing Sidekick that she calls the Knockout Kiss, but Fiona is able to duck, grabbing Sara for what looks like the “Sending Off” Inverted DDT. Sara is able to turn over and push Fiona off but Fiona regains her balance and kicks Sara in the stomach, sending her back into the corner. Fiona grabs her legs and splits them on the ropes.}Vasco Dias: Don’t tell me…
Terri Morasco: I don’t know why she does this...we can’t call this move on television...even the IWF Network.
{Fiona takes a few steps back and charges in looking for the “Cunt Punt” but Sara is able to swing her legs out of the way as Fiona kicks the turnbuckle. Sara is on her feet on the apron and stuns Fiona with a forearm shot to the face. Sara gets back in the ring just as Fiona is turning around. She kicks her in the gut and lifts her up for a Cradle DDT.}Vasco Dias: MOMENT OF BLISS!
Terri Morasco: The cover…
{Sara hooks the leg, staring into the camera with a smile on her face.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings and she drops Fiona’s leg, kneeling up as the referee raises her hand.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner...SARA...GAAAAARCIA!
{“Over You” hits the speakers as Sara mouths off to the camera. All that can be heard is, “I TOLD YOU SO!” She continues to celebrate the victory as we move to the next segment of the show.}{In a match that saw Dejaun Dawson use his size and power to toss the much smaller Caleb Lockwood around during the early going, it was the speed and experience of Lockwood that controlled the majority of the contest. The end came to when Dawson was finally able to trap Lockwood in the corner but when the referee tried to call for a break an errant elbow from the near seven footer led to the unfortunate disqualification of the Louisville native. Dawson immediately protested and apologized but the referee refused to allow the match to continue. The ultra competitive Lockwood didn't seem happy with the DQ victory either.}Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall…
“La La-La-La La La-La” begins to play throughout the arena as the lights fade to black.
“Bitch, I’m about to blow up!”
{Spotlights flood the stage and Brooklyn saunters out from behind the curtain; her hat pulled low over her face, both hands gripping the brim. With a confident swagger, she steps to the top of the ramp and lifts her head up, a cocky smirk on her face – acknowledging the fans with a wink.} Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at one hundred and twenty-six pounds … BROOKLYN … MAAAAADROX!
{Brooklyn reaches ringside and makes her way up the steps, wiping her feet on the apron before stepping through the ropes and spinning her way, arms outstretched, to the center of the ring. She pulls her hat off and whips it into the crowd before backing herself into the corner to stretch against the ropes.}Terri Morasco: So we have Brooklyn out here tonight looking for a way to make an example of Kate Steele for The Pack.
Vasco Dias: Brooklyn certainly has been on a roll since she took up with The Pack. Not sure I like it.
Terri Morasco: Not sure anyone does.
{Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she stares at the roaring crowd who are all cheering her on. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she claps the hands of outstretched fans.}Vasco Dias: The Siren is here. She is going to turn this losing streak around. She’s going to show Brooklyn wrong about that British Fiona McFly comment. Make he pay for it.
Terri Morasco: We will certainly see.
{Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leapfrogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd cheering her on. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans follow in. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: You can’t deny that Kate is deserving of this win. Even you Terri.
Terri Morasco: She does seem to have had a rough few weeks.
{As soon as the bell goes off Brooklyn charges Kate. Brooklyn hits Kate with European uppercut. She goes in with a couple strikes, elbow to the stomach before knocking Kate into the corner. Brooklyn keeps hitting her until the Ref makes her back off.}Terri Morasco: Brooklyn going in early to try and bring Kate down.
Vasco Dias: Kate can withstand anything that little wolf wannabe throws at her!
{Kate waves off the ref breathing hard. Brooklyn waits a moment before doing a Handspring back elbow right into Kate again. Kate drops to the ground. Brooklyn laughs walking backward from Kate motioning her up. Kate clearly frustrated makes a run for the Brooklyn only to be hit with a Leaping calf kick.}Vasco Dias: Ouch.
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn is certainly not holding back tonight.
{There is a pause as Brooklyn waits for Kate to struggle back up to her feet. Brooklyn hits her with the McFlurry and goes for the pin.

KICK OUT}Vasco Dias: Brooklyn has been spending too much time with The Pack.
{Rolling over, Kate runs for the rope, Brooklyn chases after her before Kate jumps off the ropes for a Springboard Crossbody.}Vasco Dias: Yes! Take back this match!
Terri Morasco: She’s seen the opening and is going for it.
{Kate goes to the ropes again, dropping a SpringBoard Leg Drop on Brooklyn. She waits a moment until Brooklyn gets back up before hitting her with a Single Knee Facebreaker. She rolls for the pin

KICK OUT}Terri Morasco: Brooklyn is not going down so easy.
Vasco Dias: Hit her again!
{As both women get up, Kate hits a Pele Kick to Brooklyn. Brooklyn falls to the mat before bouncing back up. Kate hits her with a Spinning Hell Kick glaring down at Brooklyn. “STAY DOWN”}Terri Morasco: I think Brooklyn is frustrating Kate with her new strength.
Vasco Dias: STAY DOWN!
{Brooklyn comes to her again, but Kate pulls off a Float Over DDT. Brooklyn hits the mat. Kate goes for the cover.

KICK OUT}Vasco Dias: What is even happening?!
{Kate stares at Brooklyn before going for her again. Brooklyn gets to her feet hitting her with a Jawbreaker}Terri Morasco: If Kate isn’t careful she could lose the momentum she’s achieved over this match.
{Brooklyn cracks her neck looking down at her prey before going down to where Kate is on the mat. Brooklyn wraps her legs around the Siren’s body and flips her over so that Brooklyn has her back on the mat. She locks their arm in between her leg to the side and yanks down on their head as she chokes them out with her legs}Vasco Dias: NO!
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn has trapped Kate Steel in SIREN’s SONG!
Vasco Dias: You can’t use her own finisher against her!!
{Kate struggles but Brooklyn tightens her grip with a sadistic smile on her face. The Ref is down talking to Kate as she struggles. Brooklyn starts laughing the more Kate fights against it}Terri Morasco: Kate is having trouble getting out of this.
Vasco Dias: This can not be happening! This is what going mad feels like! No!
{Kate struggles before reaching out and starts tapping the mat. The Ref signals for the bell.}Alison Valance: The Winner by Submission BROOKLYN MADDOX!
{As “Blow Up” J. Cole goes over the loudspeakers, Brooklyn stands up with her arms in the air, smirking.}Terri Morasco: That continues Brooklyn’s winning streak since joining the pack…
Vasco Dias: I can’t believe she did that…
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…
{The synthesized beginning of "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor begins to play as the crowd grows silent.}YOU READYYYY!?
LET'S GO!
{The beat breaks in and the strobe lights around the arena go with said beat as the crowd begins to amp up.}"This is ten percent luck..."
{As the lyrics begin a single spotlight shines on the man known as "Greatness" before he glances over his shoulder, staring down at the ring. With a concentrated look he slowly turns and starts down to the ring as he's announced.}Alison Valance: From New York City, weighing in at 265 pounds, he is "Greatness Personified"...DEREK BROOKS!
{He holds out his arms at the end of the walkway as his name echoes throughout the arena as the fans give a mixed reaction after his actions from last week. He climbs the stairs and walks along the apron to the corner where he ascends and looks out to the crowd before flinging his arm in the air to another mixed reaction. He jumps down and steps through the ropes, walking to the center, bouncing around, light as a cat despite his large frame as he gazes out to the crowd before snapping around, climbing the corner and flinging his arm in the air again as the flashbulbs go off everywhere. He jumps down and continues bouncing from one foot to the other in a graceful manner as he waits for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: Derek has apologized for his attack on Mason last week after Mason had repeatedly been the reason Derek didn’t win the match.
Vasco Dias: I would have liked him better if he didn’t apologize.
Alison Valance: And his opponent…
{"The War Isn't Over Yet" by Eye Empire begins playing and blue and white pyro shoots out from the walkway as Mason St. Croix stares straight ahead with his eyes focus on his opponent and walks at a marching pace towards the ring . Once in the ring Mason climbs all four turnbuckles one at a time before hopping down and taking the center of the ring where he stands at attention, his eyes never moving from his opponent.}Alison Valance: From Savannah, Georgia, weighing in at 234 pounds...MASON...ST. CROOOOIX!
Terri Morasco: Mason obviously took offense to the attack from Derek and wanted his revenge almost immediately.
Vasco Dias: And now, because he’s a whiner, we have this match.
{The bell rings and the two men circle the ring before Derek stands up straight and extends his hand. Mason looks from side to side as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. He turns toward Derek and asks if he’s truthful. Derek nods and Mason again looks from side to side before shaking Derek’s hand before the two circle again, eventually tying up, but quickly they realize that neither really has an advantage, and it’s Mason pulling Derek in for a headlock, but he’s quickly shot across the ring and Derek throws his shoulder into Mason, knocking him to the ground before flexing in front of him, pointing at his muscle with a smile.}Terri Morasco: Derek showing off a bit here.
Vasco Dias: It’s what he does. He’s a giant showboat.
{Mason gets to his feet, shaking off the shot before he and Derek tie up again, but this time, it’s Mason going behind Derek and lifting him up and dropping him with a Belly to Back Suplex. He pops up and smiles, pointing to his head as if to say “I’m smarter”. Derek glares up at Mason holding the back of his head. He pulls himself up and the two tie up for a third time, but this time Derek knees Mason in the gut before firing off a couple of shots to the face that rock the former Army Ranger into the ropes before shooting him across the ring. Derek ducks for presumably a Back Body Drop, but Mason counters, stopping in his tracks, firing a kick to the face of Derek that stands him up and then hits a hard Standing Sidekick that takes the big man down. Mason jumps on the cover, but Derek is able to get the shoulder off the mat after two.}Terri Morasco: And the hard strikes that Mason has become known for.
Vasco Dias: He kicked him in the face, and it didn’t work, can we move on?
{Mason grabs hold of Derek who is a little wobbly on his feet. Mason goes to send him into the ropes, but Derek is able to reverse it, and this time is able to lift Mason onto his shoulders and deliver a Samoan Drop. Both men are down, and the sudden offense giving Derek some time to recuperate.}Terri Morasco: And a Samoan Drop out of nowhere.
Vasco Dias: Slightly more impressive than a kick to the face.
Terri Morasco: Oh knock it off.
{The two men are slow to their feet with the help of the ropes. Derek fires the first shot that rocks Mason into the ropes, but with the added momentum, Mason is able to fire back, dropping Derek to a knee. The two trade blows and seem to pick up steam, turning into an all out slugfest. Mason goes for a Clothesline to end it, but Derek catches him, looking for the “Display of Greatness” (Rock Bottom) but Mason elbows him a few times, breaking the attempt. Derek bounces off the ropes and Mason tries to catch him with his version of a Snapmare Driver that he calls the “Recoil”, but Derek is able to push him off, Mason bouncing off the ropes and right into Derek who plants him hard with a Spinebuster in the center of the ring, quickly grabbing hold of his legs, and locking in a Sharpshooter that he calls the “Submit to Greatness”!}Terri Morasco: He’s got Mason locked in, in the center of the ring!
Vasco Dias: Good old submission holds...gotta love the torture.
{Mason screams as does Derek, telling him to tap. Mason claws and scratches for the bottom rope, pushing himself up, showing his strength and crawling, mere inches from the ropes when Derek drags him back to the center of the ring and sits in deeper on the hold. Mason screams in agony. He starts biting his own hand as a way to cope with the pain as he then turns and starts crawling again. He scratches and claws and pushes himself off the mat with a lunge, grabbing hold of the bottom rope with both hands. Derek stumbles forward thinking he’s won the match.}Terri Morasco: I think he’s confused.
Vasco Dias: Mason clearly tapped out.
Terri Morasco: No he didn’t. The referee never signaled for the bell.
Vasco Dias: THE REFEREE IS BIAS!
{The referee throws Derek’s hand down, pointing to Mason holding the rope. Derek can’t believe it and he kicks the bottom rope in frustration. He starts arguing with the referee when he’s rolled up from behind by Mason…
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At the very last second, Derek kicks out. The two are to their feet and seemingly have the same idea as they both hit one another with a huge Clothesline, both men landing with a giant thud in the center of the ring.}Terri Morasco: These two are throwing everything they have at one another here.
Vasco Dias: Indeed they are, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say the first one up...wait...they’re up at the same time...damn it.
{As mentioned, the two have picked themselves back up, Derek swings wildly and Mason grabs ahold of him...RANGER’S WAY!}Terri Morasco: HE HIT IT!
Vasco Dias: But look!
{Before Mason can capitalize though, the momentum causes Derek to roll out of the ring. Mason watches his opportunity roll with him and slaps the mat in frustration.}Terri Morasco: They were just too close to the ropes.
Vasco Dias: Or it was ring awareness by Brooks to get out of dodge.
{Mason rolls out after Brooks, ignoring the official. He grabs him by the head and pulls him up, but in a last ditch effort, Brooks charges forward with Mason, slamming him back first into the ringpost.}Terri Morasco: The back was injured from the “Submit to Greatness”.
Vasco Dias: Psychology!
{Derek grabs hold of Mason and pulls him back, driving him into the post one more time. Mason drops to his knees, clutching at his back as best he can. Derek takes a second to gather his thoughts before grabbing hold of Mason and rolling him into the ring. He slides in after him and hooks the inside leg…
ONE!
TWO!
MASON’S FOOT IS ON THE ROPES!
Again Derek gets up thinking he’s won, only to turn to the referee who is pointing at Mason’s foot this time on the rope. Derek seems to be losing it as he yells at the referee who starts yelling back. This doesn’t bode well as Derek grabs the referee and hits him with the DISPLAY OF GREATNESS! The crowd boos instantly.}Terri Morasco: What the hell is that!?
Vasco Dias: He can’t take it anymore!
Terri Morasco: That’s a damn official though. You can’t do that!
Vasco Dias: He just did!
{Derek rolls out of the ring and slams his hands on the announce table at ringside. He flips the lid and clears it off.}Terri Morasco: Now what’s he thinking?
Vasco Dias: Pain?
{Derek turns and sees Mason rolling over on his stomach in the ring and grabs him by the foot, dragging him out. Mason though fights back, hitting a few shots in defense to the face of Derek, slamming him face-first off the announce table.}Terri Morasco: The resiliency of Mason is on display here!
Vasco Dias: RANGER’S WAY! LOOK OUT!
{Mason looks to hook Derek and take him over, but Derek swings his leg back, mule kicking Mason in the groin. Mason leans on Derek, clutching at his groin. Derek turns and pushes Mason up on the table before lifting him up...DISPLAY OF GREATNESS THROUGH THE TABLE!}Terri Morasco: What the hell is the meaning of all this!?
Vasco Dias: I think he’s sick and tired of the status quo.
{Derek grabs a microphone.}Derek Brooks: You think you’re better than me!? You think you’re a hero because you were in the Army?
{He points to himself.}Derek Brooks: WRONG! I’m the hero of these people. I’m the one they look up to. I’m the one they want to be like, the one they want to be with. They all know it!
{The crowd boos immensely.}Derek Brooks: Awww, shut your damn mouths. You know it’s true, you’re just in denial. I’ll show you all...just like I showed this piece of trash right here!
{Derek throws the mic down on top of Mason as medical personnel rush over, urging Derek to move away. He looks down and smiles at his damage before walking around the ring and up the ramp, taunting the fans along the way. The camera cuts to Mason who has barely moved since going through the table.}Terri Morasco: I hope he’s proud of being disqualified here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Looks plenty happy to me. I love the new attitude.
Terri Morasco: You would.
{Meanwhile, Derek gets to the top of the stage and throws his hand in the air, the crowd still booing as we cut to an ad for next month’s Diamonds Are Forever Pay Per View.}{The opening notes of Avatar’s “Hail the Apocalypse” starts to play as we get a high light reel of the men and women facing off in the Extinction Event tonight. We see Andrew Jacobsen defeating Cable Arcane of the Imperial Championship, Dean Harper beating Devlin Raine for the Man of Steel Championship, Jayson Matthews retaining again and again and again over men far more dangerous than himself. We then see Maxine Valentine and her war for the Shieldmaiden as well as Rowan setting Pandora Freeman ablaze. We then come to the challengers, Spike Kane in his matches with Andrew Jacobsen, Ryan Shane winning the Heir to the Throne and laying out Cable Arcane, Devlin Raine defeating Spike Kane, Vivienne Rodgers winning a huge four way match and finally Shea O’hara being cost her belt by Rowan. As the song begins to wind down we close in on the ring and then the commentary booth.}Terri Morasco: Welcome to our maine event of Survival of the Fittest… THE EXTINCTION EVENT!
Vasco Dias: This is among my favorite matches of the year. In the Extinction Event we get to find out which champions are truly worth their weight in gold and the challengers get to prove they belong at the top of the roster!
Terri Morasco: The Extinction Event has always been a game changer as far as the trajectory of IWF is concerned and I can’t see tonight being any different.
Vasco Dias: The Pack has a distinct advantage in this match as three of their members are on the champions team.
Terri Morasco: But at the same time all of the challengers seem united by the idea of defeating the Pack. You can’t say the same for Andrew and Jayson.
Vasco Dias: I can’t but champions always want to retain and I think Andrew and Jayson will put their morals aside long enough to walk out of this match with their belts in hand, or at least try.
Terri Morasco: Regardless this is going to be an amazing match up to be sure!
{The crowd grow silent as the lights go out, monks chanting can be heard, as the chanting gets louder the stage area starts to fill with smoke. Suddenly, and abruptly as the drums and guitars kick in a pyro explodes around the stage.}“BROTHERS! MY BROTHERS!
Is this all what we are?
SISTERS! MY SISTERS!
We’ve been crushed by the fists of GOD!!!”
{On the word God another pyro explodes either side of the rampway as Spike Kane appears through the smoke, to a growing roar from the crowdt. He stands with his arms outstretched, fists balled up soaking in the reaction from the crowd. After a few seconds he simply heads right to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and standing right in the center of the ring, extending his arms once more, before the lights fade to normal and the music fades.}{The Lights Darken as the Into of "OMEN" starts to play, whilst the beat picks up Devlin emerges from the crowd wearing his jacket and the Guy Fawkes mask , the Destiny Dealer steps up on the guard railing slowly as he slips off the mask and slides under the bottom rope to salute at the crowd waving his hands to the music as if conducting an orchestra and then turns to keep eyes about him.}{“Angry Heart” by Otherwise begins to play throughout the arena and the crowd boos loudly. The entrance ramp is dimly lit and Laura Howlett makes her way out from behind the curtain. The fans in attendance have no problem letting her know exactly what they think of her. Ryan Shane then makes his way out as pyro goes off behind him. Laura Howlett heads toward the ring with Ryan Shane following close behind her. When they get to the ring Shane slides in under the bottom rope as Howlett climbs the ring stairs. Ryan opens the ropes for her and she enters the ring. Once they are both in the ring the two share a kiss.}{The opening trumpets to Confident by Demi Lovato begin to play as the lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the bass kicks in. Vivienne herself does not appear until the lyrics begin in Earnest, walking on from backstage with Ciara alongside her. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk. She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. Ciara follows her in, circling opposite her and working to get the crowd psyched up for the match. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before she and her manager share a high five before Vivienne settles into her corner as Ciara slips out to ringside.}{The lights go out before the tron flickers to life with a flick of orange hair, before "In God We Trust” by Sweet Little Machine blasts out of the PA with orange and green lights flashing wildly, in time with the drums}"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
NAH, NAH, NAH NAH!
NAH NAH-NAH NAH NAH!"
{The crowd chant along with the song, as Shea O’Hara barges through the curtain before standing in the middle of the stage. She lowers herself, almost squatting, before thrusting her arms into the air with the “devil horns” as a small pyro goes off behind her. She then sprints to the ring, sliding under the ropes and runs to the camera side and leans through the ropes on the second rope throwing up her “devil horns” once again.}Terri Morasco: The Challengers are all in the ring and they look more than ready to go.
Vasco Dias: The real question is are they willing to go as far as the Pack?
Terri Morasco: I know Spike Kane and Ryan Shane are, they have never concerned themselves with doing things the right way.
Vasco Dias: But will Vivienne and Shea let them get away with murder?
Terri Morasco: And don’t forget about Devlin Raine, the last real hero in IWF, perhaps?
Vasco Dias: It’s my job to come up with nicknames.
Terri Morasco: Sorry.
Vasco Dias: Declin Raine is the Last Real Hero of IWF and there is no way he will play along with the dirty deeds of Spike and Ryan even if it means defeating the Pack!
Terri Morasco: I’m not so sure about that. I think Devlin, Shea and Vivienne would all be more than happy to watch the God of Xtreme and the Steel Legend rip through the Pack.
Vasco Dias: One can only hope.
{The drum fill kicks in the door and the guitar riff of 311’s Perfect Mistake starts blasting over the PA system.}“Listen Up!”
{The arena lights start changing from orange to black on the beat and Jayson Matthews comes bouncing from behind the curtain and head banging to the riff. His Invictus Championship firmly around his waste. He jams to the verse as he starts to walk down the ramp, slapping fives with as many fans as he can on either side.}This is the next stage, we turn the page
We're gonna wreck a place when we take the stage
Roll up your sleeves, get down with me
It's going off in the pit like you wouldn't believe
{Jayson stands at the end of the ramp and stares into the ring and he starts to bounce up and down and hypes himself up and as soon as the chorus hits he dives into the ring forward rolls onto his feet and runs over to the side opposite the ramp and leans over the ring holding out his Championship. While the lights strobe orange and black.}{The lights go out as the melodic opening of The Howling by Within Temptation begins to play. After a few moments a single white spotlight shines down on the stage, showing Dean crouched on the stage, looking down at the ground with his hood concealing his face. Smoke rises around him eerily as he slowly rolls his wrists. Suddenly, in time with the opening guitar riff, the lights snap blood red as Dean stands, walking through the now red-lit smoke towards the ring. He jumps up onto the apron before springing on the bottom rope into the ring. Once in the center of the ring, he spreads his arms wide as he soaks in the red flashing lights before lifting his head sharply, kicking back the hood to show his face, nodding in rhythm to the music as he slowly breaks into a wicked grin. After a few moments he turns and settles into his corner, tossing his hood and jacket to ringside… which are caught by Rowan, who the audience swears wasn’t standing there a second ago.}“Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me .I once was lost but now am found ,Was blind but now I see”
{The Last line of the first verse starts to tone down through minor key and into a dirge as ‘The Wolf’ By Fever Ray starts to pay , and out stalks Maxine, Gas mask on her face, walking slowly to the ring and head bowed, even as the lights flicker red and green as she climbs the apron , eventually the mask is removed as she climbs in the ring and stalks her prey from side to side}{Lights out. The crashing cymbals and screeching opening chord of “Red Stars” by the Birthday Massacre ring out, and red smoke billows from either side of the entranceway as Rowan MacDonnough stalks out from behind the curtain, golden eyes glinting in the red light as they shift from side to side. The stage and ramp are lit by swirling red light, but everything else remains dark. She lopes forward, unconsciously rolling her wrists as her eyes bore a hole in the air before her. The smoke seems to follow her down the ramp as she walks, reaching up and grabbing the middle rope with one hand. Rowan hauls herself up onto the apron, standing and ducking between the middle and top rope to step inside the ring. She straightens up, slowly pacing towards the center of the ring as a spiralling pattern of red light appears on the mat, and her eyes scan the crowd, head moving in a jerky, animalistic pattern. She slowly, reluctantly backs towards a corner, eyes constantly moving as she settles in to wait for the bell.}{The opening riff of "Unbreakable" plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and as the drums kick in Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp, Danielle Chase a step behind him. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side with a wide grin on his face. Andrew looks dead ahead at the ring, cracking his neck, and throws his arms out and head back as a burst of red and green pyro goes off to either side of him. Andrew and Danielle walk down the ramp, Andrew high-fiving fans as he goes, and he pulls himself up onto the apron, looking around at the fans with an infectious grin on his face. He climbs through the second rope and walks to a corner, checking his gloves and talking with Danielle as he waits for the match to start.}Terri Morasco: This is an amazing team right here. Andrew Jacobsen, Dean Harper, Jayson Matthews, Maxine Valentine and Rowan Mcdonnough!
Vasco Dias: Five people I never thought I’d see standing shoulder to shoulder but that is what the Extinction Event is all about! Survival of the Fittest!
Terri Morasco: And that is what excites me the most! Will they work together!? Will the Pack be out for itself!?
Vasco Dias: Or will the challengers implode? You’ve got to remember any of the challengers can pin any of the champions of the same gender and take their belt. You have to imagine all the challengers have their eyes on the Imperial Championship!
Terri Morasco: I do but on the other hand, perhaps the challengers will just be happy to see the Pack defeated?
Vasco Dias: I can’t see that sentiment lasting longer than a single pin fall or submission.
{Alison Valance steps into the middle of the ring as both teams take to their corners, the Pack keeping their distance from Andrew and Jayson.}Alison Valance: The following contest is the Extinction Event!!!! Standing to my left is the team of challengers… SPIKE KANE! RYAN SHANE! DEVLIN RAINE! SHEA O’HARA AND VIVIENNE RODGERS!!!!
{The crowd pops as the five take center stage in the ring and raise their arms. They then move aside as the champions step forward.}Alison Valance: And to my right is the team of champions… The Invictus Champion, JAYSON MATTHEWS!!! The Man of Steel Champion, DEAN HARPER!!! The Shieldmaiden Champion, MAXINE VALENTINE! The Imperial Champion, ANDREW JACOBSEN!!!! And finally, the Diamonds Champion, ROWAN MCDONNOUGH!!!!!
{There is a mixed reaction as Andrew and Jayson step forward but the Pack ang back and just watch their fellow champions.}Alison Valance: The rules are elimination style, a pin fall or submission means you win or retain your championship, once a pin or submission is acquired both competitors are out of the match until only one is left standing. WELCOME TO THE EXTINCTION EVENT!!!
{“Long live the Chief” by Jidenna hits the PA as Cable Arcane steps out onto the ramp in a referee shirt and his usual ring shorts and boots. He looks around as the crowd cheers and then starts to head to the ring as his music kicks in.}Vasco Dias: I’m not ok with this.
Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane has promised to call this down the middle.
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe Cable is capable of that, not with the vendetta he has against Ryan Shane.
Terri Morasco: Cable has clearly turned a corner in his career and I believe he will do what he promised.
{Cable enters the ring and looks to all the competitors before looking to the crowd who pop huge. Both teams move to their corners and begin discussing who is going to start the action. Dean seems to volunteer for his team and looks across the the challengers. Devlin tells his partners he’s ready to go and they both allow him to step into the ring.}Vasco Dias: I’m not sure this a smart idea on the part of Devlin Raine.
Terri Morasco: Dean Harper has had Devlin’s number in the past but Devlin seemed extra focused on his rival.
Vasco Dias: That still doesn’t mean Devlin has what it takes to lay the man of steel champion out.
Terri Morasco: The only title I might add that can’t change hands on a pin fall in this match.
{Cable Arcane calls for the bell and Devlin moves right in as Dean moves around him. The two look for an opening but Devlin moves in for the tie up. Devlin looks to move around Dean into a rear waist lock but Dean fires off a quick elbow to the face of Devlin Raine and hits a quick leaping knee that seems to catch Devlin off guard.}Vasco Dias: Dean going right to the quick, easy strikes.
Terri Morasco: He caught Devlin off guard but I don’t see that lasting.
{Dean smiles at Devlin but Raine comes right in again. Dean ducks a clothes line attempt but Raine quickly turns and grabs Dean for a rear waist lock take down and drops Harper right on his face. Devlin backs up not with a smile of his own. Dean nods and laughs as he gets up off the mat. Devlin moves in looking for the shoulder/eblow tie up and this time Dean let’s it happen. Devlin starts to drive Dean back but Harper punts Devlin in the gut, Devlin instinctively hits a big European upper cut that rocks the jaw of Dean. Devlin ruses in and looks for a release belly to back suplex but Dean manages to land on his feet and drop kicks Devlin right in the back of the head!}Terri Morasco: These two have come to know each other so well over these last couple of months!
Vasco Dias: And I never get tired of watching them fight!
Terri Morasco: Neither do I!
{Devlin pushes himself right up off the mat and Dean comes right at him but Raine grabs Harper for a big time powerslam! Dean gets right up to his feet but Raine grabs him for an armdrag! Dean gets right up and turns into a lariat! Harper is up again but Raine is right there with the Brain Dance combo that sends Harper down onto his backside. Harper smirks from a seated position and rubs his jaw as Devlin is ready to keep this going but Dean instead rolls to his corner and tags in Maxine Valentine.}Vasco Dias: Harper is playing some mind games with Devlin here.
Terri Morasco: Smart move by Harper, there is no reason to go this match alone.
Vasco Dias: And it will definitely irritate Devlin which I’m sure is the game plan.
{Devlin doesn’t look ready to leave the ring but he relents and walks over to the corner where he tags in Vivienne Rodgers. Viv takes a long gulp before stepping into the ring where Maxine waits loosening her wrists. Viv steps into the middle of the ring and looks for a tie up but Maxine throws a mighty clothes line that Viv gets under. Max turns and Viv starts to unleash rights and lefts into the midsection of Maxine Valentine! Max blocks her face as Viv unloads but this doesn’t last long as Maxine grabs Vivienne and head butts her hard and sends Viv to the mat!}Vasco Dias: You can’t go toe to toe with Maxine Valentine!
Terri Morasco: It’s a fools errand, you need to chop the giant down!
Vasco Dias: Going head first at Maxine isn’t the best option for Vivienne Rodgers!
Terri Morasco: Absolutely not!
{Vivienne gets right up and starts to dance around Maxine Valentine who just watches her with calculated eyes. Viv starts to move in looking for another tie up but Max looks for a boot that Viv rolls under. Viv pops right up and grabs Maxine from behind with a swinging inverted neck breaker and takes the much larger Valentine off her feet!}Terri Morasco: Vivienne used her speed to bring the giant down!
Vasco Dias: Smart move by Vivienne but Maxine is going to be tougher than that to take down.
Terri Morasco: You’ve got to start somewhere!
{Vivienne lets out a roar as Maxine gets right to her feet but Viv is right there with a forearm shot and then another and another until she drives Maxine back into the corner of the ring away from her partners. Vivienne unloads more forearm shots before pulling Maxine out of the corner and looking for a belly to belly but Maxine boxes the ears of Vivienne Rodgers and breaks the hold. Maxine grabs Vivienne for the Don’t Look Down and puts her down hard. Vivienne is quick to roll away to her corner of the ring as Maxine stomps down hard trying to stop her but comes up short as Vivienne reaches her corner and tags in Shea!}Terri Morasco: Shea O’Hara is entering the match!
Vasco Dias: This is about to get interesting!
Terri Morasco: I’ve been looking forward to this match up for a long time!
Vasco Dias: Same, I’m looking forward to Maxine demolishing Shea!
{Shea leaps right into the ring and rushes across connecting with a basement drop kick right into the shins of Maxine Valentine! Shea nips right back up to her feet and bounces off the ropes and hits MAxine with a running leg drop off the ropes! Shea spins right back to her feet as Maxine sits up and gets up as fast as she can. Shea comes full steam off the ropes again and connects with a leaping leg lariat that takes Maxine down again!}Terri Morasco: Shea is chopping the giant down!
Vasco Dias: Shea is showing off her speed but speed never over comes power!
Terri Morasco: I’m not so sure about that Vasco!
Vasco Dias: I am absolutely sure that Maxine will rip Shea in half!
{Shea is up again and Maxine is trying to stand. Shea charges in but Valentine connects with a big boot that drops Shea O’Hara! Shea spins back to her feet as fast as she possibly can but Maxine connects with a clothes line to the back of Shea’s head! Maxine looks to Rowan who nods then reaches down and grabs Shea by the hair.}Vasco Dias: This is where power over comes speed!
Terri Morasco: We are still early in, Shea is only slowed down for a moment!
{Maxine pulls Shea up onto her shoulder and looks for a big running powerslam but Shea slip off her back, Maxine turns right into a Pele kick that rocks Maxine! Shea is right up as Maxine staggers backward and leaps onto the ropes and comes off with a tornado ddt on Maxine Valentine! Shea pulls Maxine up by her head but Valentine fires off a haphazard head butt that sends Shea down onto her backside. Maxine then quickly staggers backward and tags in Jayson Matthews!}Terri Morasco: Looks like Maxine wants out of this match up!
Vasco Dias: She’s making the smart decision! Maxine has already faced two competitors, she needs a break!
Terri Morasco: Perhaps she does or maybe Shea was too much!
Vasco Dias: No one is too much for Maxine Valentine!
{Jayson hops right into the ring ready to go. Shea looks on and then turns to her corner, she goes to tag in Ryan Shane but Ryan backs off the apron onto the floor and now Cable steps forward and begins to tell Shane to get on the apron. Laura barks at Cable that Shane hasn’t broken any rules. Shea then turns to Spike and tags him in.}Vasco Dias: Here comes the God of Xtreme!
Terri Morasco: Jayson Matthews holds the one title that Spike Kane has never held in IWF!
Vasco Dias: The God of Xtreme looks to become the GOD OF IWF!!!
Terri Morasco: I thought that was Angel Blake?
Vasco Dias: Shut up Terri!
{Jayson Matthews seems really excited for some reason as Spike Kane just locks eyes with him. Spike begins to move across the ring but Jayson comes running right in and connects with multiple kicks to the shin of Spike Kane who seems caught off guard! Jayson unloads on Spike with the shin kicks now as Spike nearly drops to a knee. Jayson looks for a step up enzugiri but Spike gets under it and Jayson lands right on his back. Matthews is right to his feet but Spike hit a lunging clothes line on Jayson Matthews!}Terri Morasco: Jayson tried to use his speed!
Vasco Dias: But Spike’s power over came it!
Terri Morasco: For now! Jayson has speed and youth on his side!
Vasco Dias: But the God of IWF has everything else on his side!
{Spike pulls Jayson up off the mat and whips him into the corner but Jayson jumps up and spring boards off the second rope and crashes into Kane with a cross body block! Jayson is right up to his feet and Spike is quickly getting to his own but Jayson hits the kneely Spike Kane with a hurricanrana!}Terri Morasco: What a sick huricanrana from Jayson Matthews!
Vasco Dias: His luck won’t last long!
{Matthews roars as he gets to his feet but Spike isn’t far behind. Jayson connects with a running knee on the face of Spike Kane as he tries to get to his feet and sends Kane into the corner of the ring. Jayson runs into the corner and pulls Kane out with the RIBKRACKER!!! Jayson goes right for the cover and Cable moves in for the count. ONE! KICK OUT!}Vasco Dias: Spike kicked right out of that!
Terri Morasco: He did but Jayson has to be wearing him down!
Vasco Dias: Spike Kane has been through more wars than the British Empire, he knows how to survive!
Terri Morasco: But has Spike ever faced someone as resilient as Jayson Matthews!?
Vasco Dias: YES!
{Jayson pops right up to his feet and grabs Spike with him but Kane hits a big time European upper cut and then grabs Jayson for a T-Bone suplec! Jayson lands hard on his back and tries to get to his feet but Spike plows toward him for a massive SPEAR! Spike gets to his feet and now he lets out a massive roar as the crowd pops for the God of IWF!}Vasco Dias: Now the power of Spike comes into play!
Terri Morasco: Spike hits hard but Jayson has unlimited energy!
Vasco Dias: Not against the God of IWF!
{Spike prepares himself now and lines up the Sunday Bloody Sunday. Jayson pulls himself up on the ropes and Spike charges him full steam but Jayson manages to roll under the kick attempt and then leaps to his corner of the ring and tags in Andrew Jacobsen!}Terri Morasco: Here comes the Imperial Champion!
{Andrew charges into the ring and Spike looks for a clothes line but Andrew gets under it and grabs Spike from behind with a release German suplex! Kane gets right up to his feet and walks right into a pendulum backbreaker! Both men are back to their feet and Spike looks for a quick Bloody Sunday kick but Andrew grabs him for a Dragon Screw and takes Spike down hard. Kane scurries to the ropes and pulls himself up. Andrew tells Spike to come on!}Terri Morasco: Andrew looks more than prepared for Spike Kane!
Vasco Dias: At this point I’d have to imagine that Andrew is prepared for Spike Kane! But I haven’t lost faith in the God of IWF!
Terri Morasco: While your faith is warranted, Spike isn’t looking so hot right now!
{Spike is up to his feet and he sneers as Andrew just smiles. The two men move toward the center of the ring and Andrew looks for the tie up but Jacobsen quickly moves behind Kane and tries for a take down however Spike grabs Andrew for a side head lock take down! Andrew gets right to his feet but Spike is right there with a shining wizard! Andrew is staggered and Spike tucks him under for the running tunrbuckle power bomb right into the corner of the ring!}Vasco Dias: That’s the God of IWF we know and worship!
Terri Morasco: Spike is a master player in this game called wrestling!
Vasco Dias: I’m glad you recognize that!
{Spike grabs Andrew out of the corner before he has a chance to fall to the mat and spins Jacobsen around for the Wings of Liberty!!! Jacobsen is down and Spike goes for the cover as Cable drops down. ONE! TW-KICK OUT!}Terri Morasco: Jacobsen isn’t anywhere near defeated yet!
Vasco Dias: But he’s getting close and Spike knows just where to hit!
Terri Morasco: But Spike hasn’t hit the right spot yet!
{Spike pulls Jacobsen up off the mat and throws a huge right hand at Andrew but Jacobsen gets under it and grabs Spike for a German suplex that he rolls into a second German suplex and then rolls into a third completing the HAT TRICK! Spike tries to get right back up but walks straight into the COLD SNAP! Jacobsen goes for the pin on the fallen Spike Kane and Cable slides into position. ONE! TW-KICK OUT!}Vasco Dias: Kane has plenty of gas left in the tank!
Terri Morasco: I don’t disagree! Andrew is going to pull out all the stops to defeat Spike Kane again!
Vasco Dias: It takes more than a man to defeat a God!
Terri Morasco: What is with you and blind worship!?
Vasco Dias: I just recognize godliness!
{Andrew pulls Spike up to his feet but Kane hits Jacobsen with the Bloody Sunday kick from out of nowhere and drops Andrew! Spike stumbles backward into his corner of the ring where Devlin quickly tags in as Shane just continues to watch with a smile.}Terri Morasco: What is Shane doing?
Vasco Dias: Picking his spot!
Terri Morasco: Shane risks losing out on Imperial gold.
Vasco Dias: Shane is playing the long game in my mind and doing it very well, staying fresh.
Terri Morasco: Maybe but he’s giving Spike and Delin chances to beat Andrew Jacobsen.
Vasco Dias: Is he?
{Devlin comes right into the ring as Andrew tries to get up but Raine hits the Burning Chrome European upper cut and sends Andrew head over heels back onto the mat! Devlin is recharged and ready to go as Andrew tries to get up again but Devlin is right there with the DEVDT!!! Andrew is down on the mat and Devlin pulls Jacobsen up to his feet and then lifts him onto his shoulder. Devlin shouts CANNONBALL!!! Devlin takes off with Andrew but Jacobsen slips off his back and Devlin runs into the ropes. Devlin turns around and Andrew connects with a Gordie Howie Special that sends Devlin up over the top rope and to the outside!}Terri Morasco: Devlin nearly got the better of the Imperial Champion!
Vasco Dias: But nearly doesn’t mean a damn thing in this business!
Terri Morasco: Nearly goes a long way in a wrestling contest if Devlin can continue to wear down the Imperial Champion!
Vasco Dias: What you just said makes absolutely no sense what so ever at all!
{Andrew Jacobsen goes to the outside after Devlin Raine as he starts to stand up but Devlin leaps up and grabs Andrew for a huricanrana and sends Andrew right into the crowd barrier! Devlin rolls back into the ring as quickly as he can and pops to his feet. Devlin heads for the opposing ropes and gets a good bounce before running back across and leaping out of the ring and hits Andrew with the Subspace Highway to Jacobsen on the outside!!!}Terri Morasco: And Jacobsen is down with the Subspace Highway!
Vasco Dias: That was an amazing move but high risk hardly ever pays off!
Terri Morasco: High risk pays off more than you’d like to admit!
Vasco Dias: I will never admit that stupid risks pay off.
{Devlin pulls Jacobsen up and rolls him back into the ring and follows him right in and goes for the cover. Devlin hooks the leg as Cable drops down for the count. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!} Vasco Dias: Jacobsen is nowhere near out of this yet!
Terri Morasco: Jacobsen has amazing resolve!
{Devlin pulls Jacobsen up to his feet but Andrew fires off a European upper cut! Devline replies in kind and Andrew is rocked! Andrew comes right back with another European uppet and Devlin fires right back. The two then begin to trade European uppet cuts back and forth as the crowd roars before finally Andrew starts to get the upper hand and then scoops Devlin up for the Borealis Suplex! Devlin is down and Andrew quickly covers him as Cable drops down. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!}Terri Morasco: Devlin kicks out!
Vasco Dias: But for how long can he keep this up!?
Terri Morasco: Devlin can go all night long from what I’ve heard!
Vasco Dias: And how did you hear that!?
Terri Morasco: Sources!
{Andrew Jacobsen is right up to his feet and shakes off Devlin’s offense before backing up to his corner of the ring. Andrew looks ready to deliver another Gordie Howie Special but Dean Harper suddenly tags himself in much to the shock of Andrew Jacobsen!}Terri Morasco: Are these the first cracks of the champions team!?
Vasco Dias: This is the Pac seeing an opening and taking it!
{Dean comes right into the ring and runs right at Devlin Raine who isn’t completely up to his feet, Devlin spring boards off the second rope and grabs Devlin Raine for UP IS DOWN!!!! Devlin is down and Dean quickly makes the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!}Terri Morasco: Devlin with the kick out!
Vasco Dias: This time but Raine can’t have much left in the tank!
Terri Morasco: Devlin may have more left in the tank than you think!
{Dean seems pleased that Devlin kicked out and grabs Raine by the neck and pulls him right up to his feet. Dean throws Devlin into a vacant corner of the ring. Dean rushes in with a knee lift and then a hangman’s neckbreaker! Devlin is down and Dean doesn’t let up as he pulls Raine to his feet and turns him around right into the SHOW OF DEVOTION!!! Devlin is down and Dean drops right into the cover, not even bothering to hook the leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!}Terri Morasco: Devlin Raine has more resolve than anyone on this roster!
Vasco Dias: Resolve only goes so far in this business! And Dean has more than resolve! Dean has brutality!
Terri Morasco: Brutality still may not be enough to take Devlin down!
{Dean still wears a sadistic grin as he gets to his feet and looks over joyed as he waits for Raine starts to push himself up. Dean comes in fast and hard but Devlin springs back to life and scoops Dean up onto his shoulders and yells CANNONBALL!!!! Before hitting the move and leaving Dean laid out! Devlin waits for Dean to stand and then charges in with martial arts strikes mixed with kicks leading to a devastating combo of jab/cross mixed with a pump kick that sends Dean into the corner of the ring!}Terri Morasco: Here comes Devlin Raine!
Vasco Dias: I can’t believe this!
Terri Morasco: Devlin Raine is about to reclaim the Man of Steel Championship!
{Devlin comes running toward the corner and rips Dean out with the DEVDT!!! Devlin pops right back up and looks more pumped than ever. Devlin fires himself up and looks to hit the NO FATE! Devlin charges Dean as Harper gets to his knees but Rowan lets out a blood curdling scream that distracts Devlin Raine who stops to look as Dean scurries to his feet and grabs Devlin for the SHOW OF DEVOTION! Dean heads to the top rope and stand up and looks to Rowan before coming off the top with the SCREAMING FROM THE SKY!!!}Vasco Dias: SCREAMING FROM THE SKY!!!!
Terri Morasco: Devlin is down but Dean can’t retain on a pinfall!
Vasco Dias: He can’t but Devlin is down and out!
Terri Morasco: Is he!?
{Dean pulls Devlin to his feet and throws him through the ropes. Devlin tries to stand up but Dean grabs the ropes and sling shots himself over the top with sunset flip DESCENT INTO HELL that drives Raine straight into the arena floor! Dean stands there with a smile on his face before rolling back into the ring. Cable starts his ten count as much as he doesn’t want to as Dean just smirks. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!!!}Terri Morasco: I don’t believe this! Is Devlin going to get counted out!
Vasco Dias: He hasn’t moved since Dean hit him with Descent into Madness!
{FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!}Terri Morasco: Can Dean retain this way!?
Vasco Dias: Normally no but the this match has count outs and DQ’s and Cable is making the count!
{EIGHT! Devlin starts to stand. NINE! Devlin is up to his feet and staggered. Dean is ready and Devlin goes for the apron but Cable counts TEN!!!!}Alison Valance: Devlin Raine is eliminated by count out! Dean Harper is still your Man of Steel Champion!!!!
Terri Morasco: I don’t believe this!
Vasco Dias: Dean Harper retains!
Terri Morasco: But by Man of Steel rules Devlin Raine didn’t really lose!
Vasco Dias: But by the Extinction Event rules he did!
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure how I feel about this.
{Devlin looks dejected as Dean just smiles. Devlin makes his way up the ramp, still not satisfied with how thing went down. Dean approaches Rowan and the two share words before Dean drops down with his belt and rolls out of the ring. Dean Harper backs up the ramp with a huge smile on his face as Cable looks to the remaining competitors to see who is going to re enter the match.}Terri Morasco: Dean Harper retains, Devlin Raine is the first eliminated, I honestly don’t believe this and don’t agree with the decision!
Vasco Dias: Cable Arcane is the man in charge and also the referee, his rules go and Dean Harper wins!
Terri Morasco: It looks that way but who is next to enter this match up!?
{Vivienne Rodgers steps back into the ring. Maxine Valentine looks to Rowan who nods before Maxine re enters the ring.}Terri Morasco: It looks like we are going back to Vivienne and Maxine! But when will Rowan enter this match!?
Vasco Dias: When Rowan is damn well ready!
{Maxine charges hard and fast across the ring but Vivienne is ready and picks Maxine up for the fireman’s carry! Maxine tries to get right back up but Vivienne is right there with a belly to back suplex that leaves Maxine laid right out! Vivienne is right up but Maxine starts to stand up but Vivienne is right there and grabs Maxine for a strained power bomb! Maxine looks for a second one but Maxine punches Vivienne right in the face and Viv drops Max back to the mat. Maxine back rolls to her feet and catches Vivienne with big boot!!!}Terri Morasco: Maxine with a big boot but Vivienne hit an impressive power bomb.
Vasco Dias: Impressive power bombs mean nothing after that amazing big boot!
{Maxine backs up to her corner and Rowan tags herself into the match, entering the fray for the first time! Vivienne stands up and looks to Shea, the two nod to one another as Vivienne prepares to go head to head with the Diamonds Champion.}Terri Morasco: Here’s a matchup we’ve never seen before! The relative newcomer and newest member of the roster in this match against the Diamonds Champion who’s been taking the IWF by storm!
Vasco Dias: This is going to be a slaughter.
{Rowan and Vivienne square off with one another, the Wolf of the Abyss growling hungrily as she stares her opponent down. Vivienne shows no fear in the face of the Irish Nightmare as she moves to close in, ducking under Rowan’s strike and pulling her into a German Suplex, immediately bridged into a pin attempt! ONE! Rowan kicks out!}Terri Morasco: A bold elimination attempt from the Legendary one!
Vasco Dias: But not nearly enough!
{Rowan is almost immediately back on her feet and rounds on Vivienne with a feral snarl and kicking low to Vivienne’s knee, following the blow with a savage spinning back elbow strike that sends Vivienne rebounding off the ropes, nearly barreling into Shea O’Hara, who is circling the ring running her hand on the edge of the apron, mumbling something under her breath as she focuses on Rowan. Vivienne surges back into the fight with a grin, seemingly intent on not keeping Rowan’s attention fully on herself as she launches Rowan into big back body drop, taking the champion again to the ground. This time Vivienne doesn’t have time to try to pin as Rowan kips back up to her feet, taking Vivienne to the ground with a BEAST OF WAR! ONE! TWO! Vivienne snaps a shoulder up with authority!}Vasco Dias: Rowan MacDonnough showing this little girl just why she’s become the most feared woman in the Diamonds Division!
Terri Morasco: What’s Shea doing? She’s all the way over by the Champions’ side…?
{Shea and Andrew make eye contact with one another briefly before the Imperial Champion nods and lets her pass, still running her hand along the apron as Andrew holds out a hand to keep the other Champions briefly at bay. Meanwhile in the ring, Rowan is about to look around, seemingly having had her attention drawn to the commotion in her corner, but Vivienne slaps Rowan hard in the face to keep her attention drawn! Rowan’s eyes flash savagely as she slowly turns her glare back to Vivienne before she whips the challenger into the ropes! Vivienne, however, recovers from the throw and uses the momentum from the rebound to SLAM into Rowan hard, taking the both of them to the ground as she crashes into Rowan with what looks like her first attempt at a spear! Vivienne hauls herself to her feet, checking briefly on Shea with a moment of eye contact, but Shea shakes her head, now on the third corner of her slow walk around the ring.}Vasco Dias: They are definitely up to something. Is Shea spreading something on the edge of the ring? It looks wet.
Terri Morasco: Look at Rodgers!!
{On her feet, Vivienne reaches down and grabs Rowan before the champion can recover, lifting her up as the crowd cheers with excitement before TAKING ROWAN TO THE SLUMBER PARTY! Two powerbombs! Three! Four! Five! After the fifth Vivienne staggers away, out of breath as she finds herself unable to either haul Rowan into a sixth or pull her into the Tik Tok. Rowan slowly pulls herself to her feet, eyes burning with hatred as she ignores any pain she must be feeling to drive Vivienne hard into the mat with the DANCE THE SPIRAL! She then gets back to her feet with her eyes on Vivienne, setting up for the lethal Balor’s Gaze… but instead of getting up, Vivienne sees that Shea O’Hara has finished her circle of the ring and crawls back to her corner, letting SHEA O’HARA TAG IN! Vivienne rolls out as Shea steps in, beaming wide as she cracks her knuckles on approach to her old enemy, the two Irishwomen staring one another down.}Terri Morasco: Here it is! The continuation of one of IWF’s most heated feuds of the year! Everyone’s been buzzing about what would happen when these two step into the ring tonight and now we’re all about to find out!
Vasco Dias: I see nothing but heart ache in the future of Shea O’Hara!
{Rowan roars with fury as she charges her opponent, taking Shea down with a staggeringly huge knee lift to the gut. Following in Vivienne’s example she looks to put the match away, moving to the ropes to try to climb over them to set up for the Mark of Macha… but instead she hesitates. She strains at the ropes as though somehow unable to cross over them. She looks around, confused… before looking down to see the glistening moisture on the edge of the ring, left there from Shea’s hitherto unseen tour. Eyes flashing with shock and anger, Rowan whirls on Shea… only to see her challenger smiling in her face.}Shea O’Hara: NOW!!!
{On cue, Andrew Jacobsen suddenly tangles with Spike at ringside, the two men getting Cable Arcane’s attention. As Cable descends to ringside, Andrew hits Spike Kane with a SUPERKICK that the Blood God sells more than he’s ever sold a strike in his life, acting as though he’s been hit by a cannon and knocking Cable Arcane to the ground! With Cable briefly indisposed, Vivienne reaches under the apron and pulls out a lighter, pressing it to the liquid that Shea spread on the ring, causing the edge of the ring to burst into bright white fire!}Vasco Dias: WHAT IS HAPPENING??!
Terri Morasco: I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!
{Rowan whirls around like a cornered animal, rounding on Shea with a savage glare. Shea grins as she pulls herself to her feet, and draws a small, wooden symbol out from her outfit, brandishing it like a shield as she rushes for the Wolf of the Abyss! The two of them collapse to the ground, Shea shouting loudly, before the Irish Bombshell drives the symbol into Rowan’s gut!
The lights flash and die, and the flames shoot up high before dying as a loud, inhuman howl roars through the arena. When the lights return, Rowan is motionless on the ground… her mask cast aside, showing naught but the simple face of a barely conscious 19 year old girl underneath. She is slowly blinking her eyes, and it is clear from the camera’s view on the Imperatron that they are a simple brown instead of their normal predatory gold.}Terri Morasco: What? Did Shea O’Hara just…?
Vasco Dias: Your guess is as good as mine!
{Before anyone can fully react, Cable Arcane is back on his feet and paying attention to the action inside the ring, having missed the fire entirely. He rolls under the ropes as Shea goes for the cover on the insensate Rowan… ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!}Alison Valance: Rowan MacDonnough and Shea O’Hara have been eliminated. Shea O’Hara is your NEW IWF DIAMONDS CHAMPION!!
{Maxine is furious, trying to throw herself at Shea and Viv as Rowan and Shea are escorted from the ring. Dean Harper, Caleb Lockwood and Brooklyn Madrox all race to ringside, forcing the IWF officials away from Rowan as they take her themselves up the ramp. It is clear that Maxine wants to follow them… but turns all of that furious hatred towards the grinning Vivienne Rogers instead.}Terri Morasco: I don’t know what just happened, Vasco, but the Wolf of the Abyss’ reign of terror is finally at an end!
Vasco Dias: I can’t believe what we have just seen! That was possibly the most insane thing to have ever have happened in an IWF ring! Was that a real life exorcism?
Terri Morasco: Possibly! All I know is Rowan has been defeated and Shea is the new Diamonds Champion!
Vasco Dias: I don’t know if I should be impressed or horrified!

Terri Morasco: I can’t imagine she would! Maxine is the last member of the pack left in this match!
Vasco Dias: I don’t think this is how the Pack imagined this match to go!
Terri Morasco: Me either!
{Maxine lets out a loud yell as Vivienne gets to her feet and scoops her up into the ARMS OF THE ABYSS!!!}Terri Morasco: ARMS OF THE ABYSS!!!!
Vasco Dias: Vivienne is down!
Terri Morasco: Vivienne put up an amazing fight but this may be it!
{Maxine covers Vivienne as Cable moves in for the count. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!}Alison Valance: Maxine Valentine and Vivnenne Rodgers have been eliminated! But still your Shieldmaiden Champion… MAXINE VALENTINE!!!
{Maxine quickly rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp without her championship to check on Rowan.

Ryan Shane gestures to Spike to take the ring and Spike doesn’t look happy as Andrew Jacobsen is more than ready to re entier this match.}Vasco Dias: Ryan Shane is continuing to play the long game!
Terri Morasco: By never entering this match!?

Terri Morasco: There is no way Andrew recovers from a spike impaler on the apron!
{Spike lifts Andrew up over his head but Andrew fires knee after knee into the head of Spike Kane and finally the God of Xtreme is forced to drop Andrew back to his feet. The Imperial Champion moves right in and grabs Spike for the Borealis Suplex right on the ring apron!!! Sprike cries out in pain before rolling off onto the arena floor!}Terri Morasco: Borealis on the apron!
Vasco Dias: Jesus! That should be illegal!
Terri Morasco: But it isn’t and Jacobsen just took a ton of wind out of Spike’s sails!
Vasco Dias: The God of Xtreme is far from done!
{Andrew pulls Kane back up to his feet and rolls him back into the ring. Jacobsen climbs in as fast as he can and covers the God of IWF as Cable drops down for the count. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!}Vasco Dias: Kane isn’t out yet!
Terri Morasco: How the hell is Spike still in this match!?
Vasco Dias: Spike Kane doesn’t no how to quit!
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure that’s a good thing against Andrew Jacobsen!
{Andrew Jacobsen begins to line up his shot for the Lights Out superkick and as he backs up Jayson Matthews reaches out and makes the surprise tag!}Vasco Dias: What the hell is Jayson doing!
Terri Morasco: Mathews wants to face the God of Xtreme!
Vasco Dias: Jacobsen was on the cusp of victory!
Terri Morasco: He was but Matthews has entered the ring!
{Matthews assures Jacobsen he’s got this as the two trade places. Jayson watches as Spike tries to stand and runs in with a knee but Spike grabs Jayson for a tilt a whirl back breaker!!!

Terri Morasco: Andrew nearly had Spike down for the count again but Jayson saw his shot!
Vasco Dias: And so far Jayson has missed!
{Spike charges at Jayson as he tries to stand and connects with a nasty Spear in the corner that pins Jayson right against all three turnbuckles!

Spike peels Jayson out of the corner of the ring but Jayson springs back to life with the RIBKRACKER!!!}Terri Morasco: RIBKRACKER!!!!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe it! Where did Jayson find the strength!?
Terri Morasco: He found it from deep down inside! Jayson Matthews isn’t just going to give up his championship!!!
{Jayson is back to his feet and he starts to pump himself up as the crowd roars.}Terri Morasco: Jayson Matthews is about to put Spike Kane away!
{Spike starts to stand up and Jayson comes in with the Jayson Matthews Experience!!! Spike ducks the kick and hits one of his own!!! Spike grabs Jayson for THUNDERSTRUCK!!!!

But before long Andrew steps into the ring ready to face the one man who has yet to set foot inside the Extinction Event.}Terri Morasco: We are down to the final two! Ryan Shane and Andrew Jacobsen! Only one can leave with the Imperial Championship!
Vasco Dias: The House of Howlett has a lot riding on this match but with Cable Arcane as the referee, I’m not sure the odds look good for Shane regardless of how fresh he is.
Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane promised to call it down the middle.
Vasco Dias: And I believe him about as far as I can throw him.
{Spike leaves the ring with his newly won championship in tow while Jayson leaves up the side of the ramp. Ryan Shane slowly steps into the ring locking eyes with Cable who he warns to be fair about this.}Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane doesn’t look to sure about this.
Vasco Dias: I wouldn’t be, considering the history between the challenger and the referee.
{Ryan Shane and Andrew Jacobsen move across the ring toward each other and go right into a tie up. Ryan quickly over powers the more tired Andrew and moves behind him for a rear waist lock up that Ryan quickly transitions into a side head lock.

Shane is right there with a charging lariat that takes Andrew right off his feet!}Vasco Dias: Ryan Shane showing how fresh he is in this match up!
Terri Morasco: Of course Ryan stood on the outside the whole time!
Vasco Dias: There is no rule that says Shane needs to tag in.
Terri Morasco: Ryan could have helped his partners more.
Vasco Dias: Why?

Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane doing his job!
Vasco Dias: Looked more like Cable screwing Ryan Shane to me!
Terri Morasco: To each their own!
{Both men are up to their feet and this time Andrew grabs Ryan in a side headlock and moves smoothly into the take down that he then turns into a rear chin lock on Shane.

Terri Morasco: All I see is a man trying to call it down the middle!
Vasco Dias: Of course that’s all you’d see!
{Ryan Shane gets to his feet and this time he goes nose to nose with Cable Arcane and the two men start to jaw off at each other. Ryan Shane begins to jab Cable in the chest and accusing him of abusing his power.}Terri Morasco: Shane is taking his eyes off the prize.
Vasco Dias: Because Shane has no hope of winning with Cable Arcane as the referee!
Terri Morasco: Shane would if he’d play by the rules!
Vasco Dias: Shane hasn’t broken a rule yet!
Terri Morasco: Simply because Cable knows all of Laura’s tricks!
