OPENING SEGMENT
āAnd He Waits...ā
---------------------------------------------------------- {As Sacrifice opens we see Nighthawk sitting in a folding chair, reading a book on Japanese battle tactics, in front of Jayson Matthews's locker room. Seeing her coming out of the corner of his eye Nighthawk smiles, although without any mirth or warmness, when he sees Maria Iniesta coming. Clad in a 3-piece navy-blue gabardine suit the "American Samurai" idly fixes a cufflink before standing up.}Maria Iniesta: Nighthawk, I have to ask. What are you doing here? Nighthawk: I haven't had a chance to talk to Jayson Matthews all week. He missed every class he was scheduled to attend. And since I know, for a fact, he's wrestling tonight I want to talk to my student. I don't see anything particularly out of order in that. {Maria leaves Nighthawk be as we head to the ringside area.}----------------------------------------------------------
IN RING SEGMENT
āLess Panderingā
---------------------------------------------------------- {As we head to the ring, we see a man standing in the ring with a microphone in and a black satin table with a sheet over it.}Jess Fowler: Evening. My name is Jess Fowler. {The man gives a small wave to the crowd.}Jess Fowler: I am the representative of IWF Europe division. Which means, as the representative of IWF Europe I am in charge of the belt formally known as Shield Maiden, currently held by Vivienne Rodgers. {The Crowd cheers, clearly excited to know the new name of the belt. Jess pulls the sheet off displaying the new belt.}Jess Fowler: We are renaming that belt to the IWF Open Weight Championship. We find that title more aesthetically pleasing. Lessā¦ pandering. {Jess gives a tight smile.}Jess Fowler: Now, the first match to be hand under itās new name will be at the pay per view next week. At that Pay per View the current champion, will be facing Crystal Miller and Fiona McFly. {The crowd cheers.}Jess Fowler: If Vivienne Rodgers retains, whomever she pins or submits will not be eligible for any title shot for THREE MONTHS. {The crowd gives a mixed reaction, some cheering, some booing.}Jess Fowler: Looking forward to working with whomever The Champion is going forward. Cheers. {He sets the mic down on the table and carries out the Open Weight Belt.}----------------------------------------------------------
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
One Day Soon...But For Now...Mike and Bob
---------------------------------------------------------- {From the ring we go to the back where we see Bob walking through the halls of the arena, the Strong Style championship around his waist. He stops and turns to see Mike Laszlo's dressing room. He pounds on the door.}Bob Pooler: Mike, let's go! {The door opens and Mike and Alexis step out of the locker room.}Bob Pooler: You ready to win this match? Mike Laszlo: Oh yeah. Tag Team Tournament, a little Enterprise reunion, let's do it. {Bob starts off down the hall again but Mike puts his hand on Pooler's shoulder, pulling him back.}Mike Laszlo: I want you to know, what I said a couple weeks ago, what I said earlier this week, I meant every word. I want a shot at that championship. {Bob can't help but smile as he looks down at the newly made Strong Style Championship before pulling it off and holding it in front of Mike's face.}Bob Pooler: Anywhere, anytime Mike. I'm not a hard man to find. {Mike gets face to face with Bob.}Mike Laszlo: Good! {He pulls back and slaps him on the chest.}Mike Laszlo: Now let's go win a tag match. {A smirk forms across Mike's face as he and Alexis head down the hall. Bob's left looking on before a smile forms across his face as he shakes his head. He then heads off himself as the scene fades to commercial.}----------------------------------------------------------
IWF TAG TEAM WORLD CUP MATCH
Mike Laszlo & Bob Pooler vs The Bourbon Street Saints (Nick Hunter & Nate Harris)
---------------------------------------------------------- Alison Valance: The following is a first round matchup in the IWF Tag Team World Cup! {The thudding instrumental drumbeat of āBlack Skinheadā pounds from the PA as Nick Hunter and Nate Harris walk through the curtain, Nick immediately running over to the edge of the stage and riling the crowd up as Nate cracks his neck, a smirk on his face. Nick runs over to the other side of the stage, working the crowd some more, and Nate begins to walk down the ramp, Nick running to catch up with him as he continues to talk a mile a minute at the fans.}Alison Valance: From the Big Easy, at a combined weight of 410 pounds, the team of Nick Hunter and Nate Harris, the Bourbon Street Saints! {Nick fistbumps someone in the crowd, leaping up onto the apron as Nate climbs the steps. Nick slingshots over the top into the ring, landing on his feet and talking even more trash as Nate steps between the ropes, settling back into their corner. Nick walks in a circle in the ring, continuing to rile the crowd as he makes his way back to Nate, dropping his voice and beginning to talk strategy as the music fades.}Terri Morasco: These two have been impressive, but despite their tag team experience, might have a tough task in front of them here tonight. Vasco Dias: They might, but like they always say, a good team can beat two great individuals just on the teamwork alone. Alison Valance: And their opponents...firstā¦ {The lights in the arena suddenly turn out, plunging the fans into darkness. Little by little, small beacons of light begins to pop up as the fans raise their lit cellphone aloft as the #WWIDN appears on the Jumbotron in bright red and the opening drumbeat of āRed Fractionā begins to play. Amidst a shower of phone flashes, Pooler steps out from behind the curtain as the song begins to pick up. Shielding his eyes with his left hand, he points to the nosebleed sections with his right before making his way to the edge of the ramp.} Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring; from Manchester, New Hampshire; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-eight pounds, he is the IWF Strong Style Champion ā¦ Bob ā¦ POOOOOLER! {Pooler heads down the ramp, breaking into a run and sliding into the ring beneath the bottom rope. He pops back to his feet and heads to the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air to the roar of the crowd. He drops back down to the ring and grabs hold of the ropes, tugging down on them and taking a moment to stretch before the match can begin.}Terri Morasco: Bob had a great defense of his Strong Style Championship last week against Pax Stormcrow, and tonight needs to turn his attention to this Tag Team Tournament. Vasco Dias: How could he possibly do that when his own partner has said he wants a shot at that championship? Alison Valance: And his partnerā¦ {"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to an abundance of cheers from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, Alexis by his side holding his other hand.}Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 poundsā¦MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO! {The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike lifts Alexis onto the apron. She enters the ring as Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of cheers. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction. With a sly grin on his face he jumps down and backs into the corner, clasping his hands together and twirling his wrists as he gets ready for the match.}Terri Morasco: His partner may want a shot at the Strong Style Championship, but Mike himself has said, as long as theyāre partners in a match, that will be the focus, he even said it minutes ago. Vasco Dias: He can say whatever he wants, but weāve seen how Mike operates, and he could tell you whatever you want to hear, then as soon as you turn around, plunge the knife in your back. {The two teams consort on strategy as the bell rings and we get Bob Pooler and Nate Harris in the ring to start. The two grab hold of one another in a collar and elbow tie up, but it doesnāt last long as Bob goes behind Nate, lifting him into the air and taking him down before transitioning into a front facelock. Nate is able to get to a vertical base, pushing Bob into the ropes before sending him across the ring, into the ropes. Nate charges forward, looking for a Clothesline on the Strong Style Champion who ducks and hits off the ropes again, and as Nate turns, heās hit by Bob who comes flying through the air with a Springboard Crossbody, hooking the leg, but only getting a two count on the lateral press. Bob scatters off as Nate rolls to his feet and the two have a stare down as the crowd applauds their efforts.}Terri Morasco: Bob with some great agility there. Vasco Dias: Looks like he might have caught Harris off guard. {The two get to the center of the ring and Harris mockingly applauds Bobās efforts as Bob nods with a smirk that is quickly wiped off his face with a knee to the gut and a clubbing blow over the back of the neck. Bob stumbles toward the ropes as Nate follows in, another clubbing blow to the back before pulling Bob off the ropes and snapping him over with a Suplex into the center of the ring. He stomps on Bob a few times as Bob is getting to his feet, and eventually helps him up, but only to lift him up and drive him down across his knee with a Backbreaker that causes Bob to writhe in pain clutching at his back as Harris takes a moment to celebrate.}Terri Morasco: I donāt know if taunting is a good idea. Vasco Dias: Heās proud of his work. Terri Morasco: Yeah, but if you take too much time admiring it, it might comeback to bite you. {Nate grabs hold of Bob by the arm and twists it over his head, yanking down on the arm, pulling Bob to the Saintsā corner, tagging in Nick Hunter.}Terri Morasco: The team with the upper hand on the individuals right now. Vasco Dias: Should I say I told you so now, or wait til later? {Hunter comes in, taking a shot at Bobās underarm to weaken him a bit more. He then pulls him in, planting a knee right into Bobās abdomen, doubling him over in pain before lifting the Strong Style Champion onto his shoulder and bringing him down with a Shoulder Breaker, continuing work on the now injured arm of Pooler. He rolls Bob over and goes for a cover, but itās broken up at two by Mike with a stomp to the back of the head. Nick gets up and starts talking trash which only brings Mike into the ring, forcing the referee to push him back out.}Vasco Dias: That seamless teamwork coming in again. Terri Morasco: And now Nick is pulling Bob back to their corner. {Nick turns to tag Nate and Bob uses a last ditch effort to shove Nick forward, into Nate, the two banging heads, knocking Nate off the apron. Nick stumbles back and Bob kicks him right in the back of the head with a Dr. Teeth! Nick falls into the turnbuckle as Bob falls toward the center of the ring as the crowd gets hyped. Bob starts crawling toward his corner where a fresh Laszlo is pacing back and forth, ready to enter the match. Nick turns to see Bob crawling and though dazed, starts crawling after him. Bob is a mere foot or two away when Nick catches up, grabbing him by the foot. The two stand up and Bob swings up, cracking Nick upside the head with an Enziguri while at the same time, throwing his hand toward the corner, tagging Laszlo into the match!}Terri Morasco: HERE WE GO! {Laszlo comes in, grabbing hold of a stunned Nick, sending him into the ropes, and as Nick returns, heās drilled with a Spinebuster in the center of the ring! Mike wasting little time, turns and picks him right off the mat, under hooking both arms and Welcoming Him to the CLE with a Double Underhook Backbreaker! Mike is right up and heās egging on the crowd, smacking his knee.}Terri Morasco: He has this place all fired up! Vasco Dias: Itās momentum. {Mike heads to the ropes and looks for his patented knee strike, the āShot of Maliceā but Nate comes in and the referee signals that the collision earlier did result in a tag and Nate levels Mike with a huge Superkick, sucking the momentum out of the fresh man. He falls on top of Mike and goes for the cover, but only gets a two as Mike is the freshest man in the match. Nate though, wastes little time, grabbing hold of Mike and sending him into the ropes, showing off some strength lifting Mike and twisting him through the air, driving him down with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker!}Vasco Dias: And just like THAT the TEAM takes control again. Terri Morasco: They have indeed swung the pendulum again. {Nate hooks the leg again, but again he only gets a two count, and starts to show a bit of frustration.}Vasco Dias: Keep your cool. Prove me right! {Nate goes over and tags in Nick, Bob still down on the other side of the ring. Nate lifts Mike into a Vertical Suplex Positionā¦}Terri Morasco: Theyāre looking to end this! Vasco Dias: Here comes the Canonization! Terri Morasco: Wait! {Bob is back into this whole thing and attacks Nick from behind before he can complete the double team move, and Mike brings his knee down, hitting Nate right in the forehead! Mike comes down and looks at Nate who is stunned and Nick who is on all fours, and he heads to the ropes and nails Nick in the side of the head with the āShot of Maliceā!}Terri Morasco: He just drilled him in the side of the head! Vasco Dias: Things are breaking down...LOOK OUT! {Bob hits Nate with Dr. Teeth (Superkick), knocking him through the ropes and out of the ring. Mike and Nick are the legal men, and Mike waits as Nick gets to his feet slowly, but before he can turn him around, Bob kicks him in the face with another Superkick! Mike seems a little shocked and perhaps needing to one up his partner, lifts the completely out of it Nick up on his shoulders and drives him down with Malicious Intent!
Mike drops down and hooks the legā¦
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings.}Alison Valance: Here are your winners, the team of MIKE LASZLO and the IWF Strong Style Champion...BOBā¦.POOOOOOLER! {Pooler is handed his title but is spun around by his partner who then grins and raises Bobās hand and his own in victory as we cut to the backstage area.}----------------------------------------------------------
IN RING SEGMENT
āIāll Be Prometheus!ā
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: We have a treat for you folks coming up! Vasco Dias: Imperial Wrestling is always on the forefront of innovation, a land of chances, and tonight. We have two small-time indie wrestlers looking to make the dream come true. Terri Morasco: These two men will compete to achieve a dream, of becoming a full-time Imperial superstar! Vasco Dias: Let's turn it over to Alison Valance who's standing in the ring with both competitors. Alison Valance: In the red corner, standing at six feet even, two hundred and sixty pounds... Lee Rexford! {The crowd is silent, as a greasy, out of shape, sloth from the goonies looking lowlife steps out, a dumb expression on his face as the crowd doesn't react.}Alison Valance: And in the blue corner, hailing from Mexico, El Dragon de Nacho! {A Luchadore pops out of the opposite corner, raising his hands in the air, getting a small reaction. He slaps his chest, excited.}Vasco Dias: I've seen ugly in my life, but that Rexford kid...goodness... Terri Morasco: He is a face, not even a mother could love. {The ref checks both men, but before he can call for the bell, "X Gon' Give it to Ya' hits the loudspeakers, the fans quickly turn their head at the music, an eruption of pyro across the stage, as the smoke rolls up. Xavier Cross steps out of the smoke, glancing around the arena a smirk on his face. The fans are on their feet, going a little crazy. Nodding his head a bit, he holds his arms up in the air as the fans get louder. He points at the ring, his hand mimicking a gun as he 'pulls the trigger' pyro explodes on all four ring posts causing the two men to stumble forward in fear. Throwing his jacket down, Xavier slaps his chest a bit until it's good and red, before charging down the ramp sliding into the ring.}Vasco Dias: It's Cross! Xavier Cross is here! Terri Morasco: After being out for months, Cross has made his hunger to come back evident online and social media...but for him to be back now! Vasco Dias: Word has it, he's been traveling across North America, seeing brain specialist until he got the okay, and he's been working his ass off... Terri Morasco: But the hell is he doing here? {Xavier stands in the center of the ring, looking at both of the indy wrestlers, before he asks for a microphone, taking it and moving his way to the turnbuckle, he takes to the second turnbuckle, as he raises the microphone to his mouth.}Imperial Galaxy: XAVIER CROSS! XAVIER CROSS! XAVIER CROSS Xavier Cross: You know my name, but you don't know why- {But Xavier is cut off as Lee and Dragon team up, attacking him from behind, clubbing blows to the back of Xavier Cross, who stumbles forward a bit dropping the microphone. Dragon backs off a bit as Lee drops to his hands and knees. Dragon charges forward leaping off Lee's back, but Xavier springboards to the top rope, flipping backward as Dragon's head finds the ring post. Lee looks up, but he gets a charging knee to the head for his trouble. Xavier stands in the middle of the ring, looking around, the fans are going nuts now, he motions for Lee to get up as the ugly wrestler slowly gathers himself, stumbling into the corner. Cross charges forward with a huge stinger splash, slapping his own forehead, he runs back into the opposite corner, bouncing off he charges forward with another stinger splash. He pushes Lee back into the corner, before repeating his actions, hitting a third huge stinger splash. Lee stumbles out of the corner, falling to his knees in the center of the ring. Cross charges once more bouncing off the ropes, hitting Lee in the face with a vicious Echoes of Madness, but Cross runs through rebounding off the opposite rope, hitting a second Echoes of Madness to the back of Lee's head. Standing over the unconscious body of Lee, Cross is beating his chest as the crowd is erupting. Grabbing the gross slob of a wrestler, he tosses him out of the ring, as he walks back over grabbing the microphone he had dropped earlier.}Xavier Cross: My name is... Imperial Galaxy: Xavier Cross! {He stops for a moment, soaking it all in for a moment....}Xavier Cross: And I'm here...to fight... {Dropping the microphone, he turns to see El Dragon de Nacho staggering around in the ring, kicking the luchador in the gut, Xavier lifts him up, and then drops him right down on his head with the Winter is Coming! Cross pops back up to his feet, as he quickly exits the ring walking over to the announce desk, grabbing the IWF contract, and the pen. He motions the cameraman over, who zooms in as he signs the contract. Before looking into the camera.}Xavier Cross: In the Age of God's, I'll be Prometheus... {He drops the contract on the announce desk, as he climbs onto it, raising his arms up to the cheers of the crowd.}Vasco Dias: Xavier Cross is back! Terri Morasco: And he's looking for a fight! This Imperial crowd is going insane, you can barely hear yourself think! Vasco Dias: I don't think I've ever seen Cross in this kinda shape either! He's standing right in front of us! Terri Morasco: The last time I saw a man look that good, I was stuffing dollar bills in his g-string! Vasco Dias: Gross! {Cross leaps from the table onto the barricade before exiting out through the fans, his hand held up in a tight fist the entire time until he disappears into the crowd.}Vasco Dias: What a re-debut! A beautiful moment, maybe not for the two indy boys, who just had their dream stolen from them. Terri Morasco: The way Cross manhandled them, it was tough to imagine they would have cut it in Imperialā¦ {We head to commercialā¦}----------------------------------------------------------

Caleb and Warren question Dean
---------------------------------------------------------- {The camera comes on to a hallway backstage. Dean is sitting on some equipment with his back against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly in prayer. A man in a red almost featureless mask with closed eyes holes walks in front of the camera. A moment later, Caleb and Warren walk up from the left, Warren pauses first and Caleb nods.}Caleb Lockwood: Dean? {Dean opens his eyes smiling at Warren and Caleb.}Dean Harper: Hey. Warren Kane: You okay? {Dean shrugs. Warren reaches over and takes Deanās hand in his.}Dean Harper: I donāt want thisā¦ Warren Kane: We know. Caleb Lockwood: Leave him to us, Dean. You donāt need to get involved. Warren Kane: Itās your decision. {Dean sighs.}Caleb Lockwood: None of us want this but if itās what happens weāll survive this. {Dean leans forward, pressing his forehead against Calebās.}Dean Harper: Weāre a family, now and always. Caleb Lockwood: Now and always. Weāll do what we have to. {Dean leans back, nodding.}Warren Kane: Leave him to us, Dean. Weāll take care of it. {Dean lifts Warrenās hand and kisses it softly.}Dean Harper: ā¦Yeah. {Caleb motions to Warren who letās go of Deanās hand.}Caleb Lockwood: Weāre going to get ready. You should too. Warren Kane: See you later, okay? {Warren and Caleb leave Dean to sit back on the equipment, closing his eyes and folding his hands.}----------------------------------------------------------
IWF TAG TEAM WORLD CUP MATCH
Dean Harper & Ulf Hednir vs The Pack (Caleb Lockwood & Warren Kane)
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: I honestly am not sure what I expected out of this match. Vasco Dias: Will Dean Harper even show up tonight? Terri Morasco: If he doesnāt there will be a serious fine. Thereās a part of me that hopes he doesnāt show up. Iād rather this stay a tag match and not a beat down on Ulf. Alison Valance: The following match is part of the Tag Team World Cup match. The tag team contest is scheduled for one fall to see who will continue forward. Vasco Dias: You up to date on whoās moving forward so far? Terri Morasco: If youāre not there is a posting on IWF.com to help you keep up to date with the brackets. Vasco Dias: There have been a couple of upsets so far. Things are shaping up to be a pretty intense finale match. Alison Valance: First to the ring, representing The Pack---CALEB LOCKWOOD and WARREN KANE! {Lights out. Our Truth by Lacuna Coil begins to play as red lights begin to flash slowly before lights come up on the stage, now shrouded with thick red smoke. As the music swells, dim light begins to come up on the stage, now shrouded with blood red smoke as one silhouette fades into view. As the guitar kicks in hard, the lights flash onto the stage revealing four members of the Pack in full, gazing into the crowd and taking in their reaction - a cold glare from Maxine, a nodding, savage grin from Caleb, a vibrant, bouncing energy from Brooklyn, and a hard, intense smirk from Warren. After a few seconds Caleb and Warren depart from the rest.}Terri Morasco: Itās weird not seeing Dean standing there. Vasco Dias: Itās not like he could enter with them and then stand on the other side with Ulf, is it? {They walk around the ring, also shrouded with red smoke, Warren and Caleb taking a corner and climbing onto the ropes gazing either at the audience. Finally, as one, they all leap into the ring and meet in the center, turning towards the hard camera as the house lights return.}Alison Valance: And their opponents, coming down first to the ring, ULF HEDNIR! {The opening guitar introduction to "Raise Your Horns" by Amon Amarth begins to play through the speakers in the arena, and the crowd erupts into a cheer; "Victory!" as the opening of the vocals comes to the speakers, Ulf Hednir comes from behind the curtains with his drinking horn held high into the air leading the crowd to cheer further for him. He walks to the side of the stage and gestures for the crowd to get louder--he is not disappointed, and salutes the crowd by raising the drinking horn to the crowd following it with a gulp; he salutes them one more time before walking toward the ring with a smile on his face.}Terri Morasco: Ulf has changed his music. This with the words he said in his promo this week. Thing this will mean a full change in attitude? Vasco Dias: I really hope not. Who am I going to relay on to hurt people? Terri Morasco: ā¦You have issues. {He walks close by the ramp to use his free hand to shake hands with many of the fans. When reaching the bottom of the ramp, he walks around to the time keeper's table and places the drinking horn in a holder fastened to his belt, in order for him to remove his wolf headdress and place it with the time keeper. He retrieves his drinking horn from his belt again and holds it to the sky, yelling "SkĆ„l!" to the crowd, who chant it with him before downing the remainder of the beverage residing in the drinking horn. He places the drinking horn down on his wolf headdress, and slides under the bottom rope to get into the ring. He is quick to his feet, waiting for the match to begin.}Alison Valance: And his partnerā¦ DEAN HARPER! {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.}Terri Morasco: Any theories about how this match is going to go, Vasco?ā Vasco Dias: If you think this is going to end without someone getting broken open you havenāt been paying attention. {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.}Terri Morasco: I canāt say I envy Ulfās position here. Vasco Dias: I donāt think anyone really does. {Caleb and Warren are both standing in the ring waiting to see who will be in the ring first. Dean steps onto the outside of the ring without a word, Ulf clearly trying to ask Dean something, but Dean shakes his head.}Vasco Dias: Looks like Ulf is starting his side of the match. Terri Morasco: I canāt say Iām surprised by this turn of events. This is the first time any member of The Pack have ever had to face each other. Vasco Dias: The Roulette happened Terri. Terri Morasco: They didnāt face each other there. They worked together. {Warren and Caleb have a conversation before Caleb takes a step to the outside. The Ref waits just a moment before calling for the bell. As soon as the bell rings, Ulf tries to go for a forearm smash but Warren counters with a Pele Kick.}Terri Morasco: Strong opening from Warren here. Vasco Dias: Warren has always been skilled. Itās both nice andā¦troubling to see him at work. {Ulf hits Warren with a Russian Leg Sweep, knocking Warren to the ground.}Terri Morasco: Ulf not going down that easily. Vasco Dias: Warren underestimated Ulf a little there but not the end of the world. {Warren hits Ulf with an Enziguri, flipping his to the mat. Warren waits only a moment for Ulf to get up before hitting him with a Fishermans Suplex.}Vasco Dias: Look at that brutality! Terri Morasco: Warren is being unrelenting here. Vasco Dias: Why should he? {Warren goes for the pin.

KICK OUT}Terri Morasco: That was close. Vasco Dias: Not close enough. {Ulf staggers to his feet. Warren hits him with a Jumping Knee, knocking him back down.}Vasco Dias: Ouch. Terri Morasco: Warren said he wanted to make his āfamilyā proud. I guess this is his way to do it. Vasco Dias: He said he wanted to make Dean happy too. {Caleb shouts something and Warren backs off going to his corner and tagging Caleb in.}Terri Morasco: Caleb in. This doesnāt look good for Ulf. Vasco Dias: they have to share the task of beating Ulf bloody here. {Ulf shakes his head and stands up. As he makes his way to Dean, Caleb hits Ulf with a Slingshot somersault senton.}Terri Morasco: Both Pack members are not holding anything back with their attacks on Ulf here. Vasco Dias: Why should they? Itās a match to continue forward. Terri Morasco: One has to wonder if that will continue once Dean gets in here. Vasco Dias: Dean wonāt get in. Iād lay money on it. Terri Morasco: Heā¦He canāt just sit out the match, Vasco. {As Ulf gets up Caleb hits him with multiple Repeated Muay Thai knee strikes.}Vasco Dias: Look at that. Terri Morasco: Another hard hit from Caleb. {Ulf staggers back to the ropes, reaching to tag Dean in but Dean seems slightly out of reach. Caleb hits Ulf with a Superkick to the knee, knocking him down before dragging him by the hair away from the corner to the center of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Did Dean step back there to keep Ulf in? Vasco Dias: He didnāt move. Terri Morasco: Iām not saying he did. He might be farther back then heās meant to be though. Vasco Dias: Paranoid propaganda, Terri. {Caleb does a few repeated crucifix elbows. On one delivery, Ulf rears up and hits Caleb with a forearm smash to the head. As Caleb falls back Ulf grabs him and hits him with a Head-butt.}Terri Morasco: Ulf getting his second wind! Vasco Dias: Boo. {Ulf goes after Caleb with a Lou Thesz Press, Followed up with three punches, and a final elbow strike.}Terri Morasco: Nice strikes from Ulf! Vasco Dias: You serious? Terri Morasco: They are good hits. {Ulf smiles widely, going "SkĆ„l!" which is repeated by the crowd. Dean can be seen rolling his eyes.}Terri Morasco: the crowd sure loves Ulf here. Vasco Dias: someone has to. His partner clearly doesnāt. {Warren leans to try and tag himself in buy Ulf grabs Caleb into a Suplex before throwing him away from Warren. Camera pans to Dean who has his eyes closed.}Terri Morasco: Good idea keeping the tag mates separated. Vasco Dias: Itās the only way he can win this. {Before Caleb can even fully recover, Ulf hits him with a Diving Shoulder Block, knocking Calebās head into the turnbuckle.}Terri Morasco: Keeping Caleb down is his best plan here. Vasco Dias: Itās his only plan. Heās alone on this fight with no back up. {Ulf moves away from Caleb, Dean has his head down. Warren tries to get into the ring but the ref catches him right away.}Terri Morasco: Calebās all on his own. Vasco Dias: Basically even then. {Caleb touches the back of his head, as he gets up Ulf hits him with a Thor's Rage, knocking him down.}Terri Morasco: this might be it. Vasco Dias: Not many get up from that kind of hit. {Ulf drags Caleb away from the ropes and goes for the pin.

Ulf stands in the center of the ring with his arm raised, the crowd chants "SkĆ„l!"}Terri Morasco: Listen to that crowd! {Ulf grins, looking to Dean who is still standing by the post with an unreadable expression.}Vasco Dias: Whatās going through Deanās head do you think? Terri Morasco: Iām worried. {Warren goes to Caleb to check on him. Ulf offers Dean a drink from his horn, Dean moves away from him to check on Caleb.}Terri Morasco: What do you think this will mean for Ulf and Dean going forward?

Nighthawk: They took that option away. {Andrew shakes his head as he continues to follow Nighthawk who finally stops in front of a door labeled āAge of Godsā. Nighthawk cracks his neck and then throws the door open revealing the IWF World Champion seated atop his stone throne, his pet panther seated by his side with a chain wrapped around her neck. Besides Angel is the God of Xtreme, Spike Kane, smiling at the Masters of 1000 Holds.}Nighthawk: I want a match. {Nighthawkās voice is stern with Jacobsen by his side.}Angel Blake: What are you hoping to prove by facing God? Spike Kane: Besides how unequipped you are to do so? {Jacobsen glares at Spike, fire burning in his eyes over the screw job finish with his match against Angel.}Nighthawk: I donāt care how above everyone you think you are.

Andrew Jacobsen: And Iāll be right there to make sure itās clean. {Spike chuckles as he pats Blake on the back.}Angel Blake: Tristan, I admire your perseverance. Despite your many failings you continue to fight for what you perceive is right. However the Son of God has made his choice. {From the shadows out steps Jayson Matthews who takes his place by Angelās other side.}Angel Blake: If you plan to fight for his soul then I wish to inform it is not up for grabs. All you will be fighting for against me is your own survival. {Nighthawk looks at Jayson and then back to Angel.}Nighthawk: Honestly? All I want to do is make you tap. {Nighthawk then looks to the World Championship hanging over the left shoulder of Blake.}Nighthawk: And relieve you of the ill won and undeserved championship. Angel Blake: Challenge accepted. {Nighthawk continues to glare unflinching before turning his back on the Age of Gods and walking away. Andrew locks eyes with Spike one more time before following his partner. We close in on the terrible grin of the man called God before fading to black.}----------------------------------------------------------

THE SILVER SCREEN QUEEN IS HERE!!!!
Iām Coming Out by Diana Ross begins to blast all across the speakers and as that happens we are able to see Christina Millar emerging through the backstage curtain and the roaring cheers of the crowd are deafening. She isnāt alone as her best friend Zelda Knite comes out beside her. Crystal smiles as her grouping of paparazzi gather up in front of the ring and they snag photo after of the Latina beauty. She walks down the ramp as she begins to slap the hands of the roaring crowd. The crowd cheers loudly in return as they glance back at the Hollywood hottie, and Zelda smiles as she throws up the heart symbol.
Her following of paparazzi meet her as does a red carpet. She takes in appeal of the cameras smiling as flashes begin to go off one after another. She then runs up the steps where she walks towards the middle of the apron. She blows kisses out to the crowd before she drops into a split entering the ring. The crowd begins to go nuts and she waits patiently for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: Crystal Miller coming out tonight looking for blood! Terri Morasco: She hasnāt had a lot of luck these past few weeks, thatās for sure. Sheās been getting so close, but not quite enough to claim the win. Maybe tonight she thinks she can finally catch what sheās been chasing? Vasco Dias: Sheāll have one hell of a climb to get there, thoughā¦ because her opponent tonight is one of the most dangerous women to ever step foot in an IWF ring! Alison Valance: And her opponentā¦ from Amityville, New Yorkā¦ {The crowd pops in excitement.}Alison Valance: Weighing in at 151 poundsā¦ the 2017 Heiress to the Throne: HELENA SAWYER! {The lights dim, and a series of twinkling blue lights begin to shine at the mouth of the entrance ramp as the intro of āBlueā by The Birthday Massacre begins to play. As the crashing guitars kick in, the stage is bathed in flickering blue lights, and Helena Sawyer slowly walks out onto the stage, a lopsided grin on her face. She walks down the ramp, wearing a twisted smirk on her face. As she passes by the camera at the foot of the ramp, she snaps her jaws at the cameraman, giggling as she walks on and hops up onto the apron. Helena looks up at the ceiling, grinning ecstatically, and turns to face the crowd, hooking both arms on the top rope and throwing her body back with a piercing scream that turns into a giggle. She kicks herself backwards, flipping over the top rope, and back-rolls into a kneeling crouch, staring at the ramp for a few moments before standing and slinking to a corner. She looks up at the ceiling as the music fades, mouthing frantic words to herself as the lights come back up to normal.}Terri Morasco: Helena Sawyer is BACK! Vasco Dias: For the first time since her match with Rayne midway through October of last year, Helena Sawyer is stepping into an IWF ring. Thought to possibly be retiring after her feud with Rowan MacDonnough resulted in the kidnapping of a loved one, sheās back to try to claim a place in the 2018 Iron Maiden. Terri Morasco: If Crystalās going to win, sheās going to have to fight through hell ā kinda literally! DING! {Helena and Crystal advance to the center of the ring and Crystal raises her hands, motioning for a test of strength. Helena readily accepts.}Terri Morasco: Looks like Crystal wants to prove her strengthā¦ Vasco Dias: Against the likes of Helena, who has nearly 40 pounds on her? Bold. {To begin with the two women seem evenly matched with neither budging. Eventually though Helena gains the advantage and begins to push Crystal backwards. In an impressive display of core strength Crystal bends herself backward completely and maintains both her balance and her grip. Crystal drops down onto her back and gets her feet beneath Helena, throwing her head over heels with a monkey flip.}Terri Morasco: Quick thinking by Crystal Miller to escape that precarious position. {Crystal maintains her grip on Helena and rolls through onto her feet, catching Helena in the jaw with a low dropkick right to the face. Crystal somersaults backwards, landing perfectly onto her opponent with a SMELL THE ROSES! She holds on for a follow-up lateral press pin.

Helena kicks out!}Terri Morasco: An impressive opening by Crystal Miller, simply dominating the first stage of this match! Vasco Dias: Maybe Helena has a bit of ring rust thatās keeping her from reaching her previous potential. {As Crystal brings her opponent to her feet, Helena snaps into action, throwing Crystal around with a deep Japanese arm dragā¦and anotherā¦and another...but in lieu of a fourth she connects with a high-impact butterfly suplex. With Crystal down Helena sets up for a triangle choke, but Crystal struggles to prevent the complete application of the submission technique. She rolls forward to escape Helenaās grasp and turns around right into a stiff knee strike. Instead of attempting another submission move, Helena hooks the leg for a pin attempt.

Crystal has a foot resting on the bottom rope and the referee calls for the rope break.}Terri Morasco: That was either good thinking by Crystal Miller, or sheer plain luck. Either way this match is still on. {Helena Sawyer eagerly awaits her opponent and positions herself for Athame. Crystal rises back to her feet and at the last possible second ducks underneath the impressive strike. Crystal rushes out of Helenaās grasp, bouncing off the ring-ropes, pulling off a leap into the ropes, rebounding off of them before connecting with a Springboard Tornado DDT.}Vasco Dias: Was all that flipping necessary? Surely a normal Tornado DDT would have been just as effective? Terri Morasco: The Silver Screen Queen is never one to turn down an opportunity to show off, Vasco. {With Helena struggling to regain her senses Crystal comes in to continue her offensive streak with the hard-hitting FLASHING LIGHTS opponentās head! Helena Sawyer lays on the ring mat stunned and motionless. Crystal sees her moment and ascends to the top of the nearby turnbuckle.}Terri Morasco: Crystal looking to put this one away with the Lights, Camera Action! Vasco Dias: So early? If I were her I'd wear Helena down a little more before trying such a high risk move! {Crystal stands on the top rope, showboating before the crowd as she mugs for the camera, wasting precious seconds as Helena comes to her senses. Finally Crystal leaps into the air, somersaulting several times as she comes down to land upon her hapless foeā¦ Except that Helena is not in the same place she was, having rolled out of the firing line. Crystal comes crashing down upon the mat while Helena crawls beneath the ropes and on to the apron, using the ropes for support as she stands back up.}Terri Morasco: Ouch! This could be Helenaās chance to turn this around. {Helena waits for Crystal to gradually return to a standing position, clearly in pain after her crash landing with the ring, and springboards herself off the ring ropes with a flying clothesline. With Crystal down and hurting, Helena moves to the corner and signals for her most famous finisher.}Vasco Dias: Is this what I think it is? Terri Morasco: This is going to hurt! {As Crystal gets to her knees, Helena surges forward and lands the LITHIUM KISS! Crystal goes down hard, and doesnāt resist as Helena rolls her over to hook the leg and make the pin.

May god have mercy on the other womenās souls! {Blue by The Birthday Massacre plays as Helena stands above her defeated foe, smiling madly as she turns and takes in the cheers from the crowd. She begins to laugh as she spreads her arms wide, laughing into the hard cam as Crystal rolls out of the ring and walks, dejected, up the ramp.}----------------------------------------------------------
IN RING SEGMENT
Final Iron Maiden Participants Announced
---------------------------------------------------------- {We reappear from our commercial break live in the official of Roberto Verona, stood before him at the head of his desk are the six women who will compete in the Iron Maiden: Dawn Halliwell, Maxine Valentine, Rayne, Abigail Spencer, Helena Sawyer and Ciara OāConnor. Verona pauses for a moment and carefully assesses each of the women stood in front of him before nodding.}Roberto Verona: Each of you ladies will compete next week in the fifth annual Iron Maiden and I donāt need to tell any of you what is it at stake here. This is your opportunity to co-main event the biggest night of the entire year and stare down the IWF Womenās World champion, whomever that may be. {Verona looks at each of the women.}Roberto Verona: All of you have earned this, there isnāt a single one of you who doesnāt deserve this opportunity but let me be frank, deserving the opportunity isnāt the same as claiming it. Tonight, tonight if the time for me to do the talking but next week, live on pay per view, that is when it is your time to leave me speechless. The Womenās division is, and always has been, IWFās proudest of accomplishments and you all represent a new chapter in that history, next week is the moment to cement your legacy. {Verona sits up straight.}Roberto Verona: I didnāt call you here tonight to try and create needless tension for a few clicks on a YouTube channel, I havenāt amassed you all in one place because Iām hoping youāll tear one another apart, Iāve gathered you here so you can all get a good look at the women you will be sharing a unforgiving structure with next week Youāve all been in punishing scenarios before, but you need to look one another in the eyes and make a judgement: do you have what it takes to break one another? {Each of the women turn to look at each other intensely, nobody breaking eye contact save to move on to the next woman beside them.}Roberto Verona: Only woman will be left standing, and the time for your voices to be heard is now. Me and the whole world will be watching, waiting to hear what you all have to say and ultimatelyā¦ weāre all waiting to see which woman has the endurance to survive. Good luck to each of youā¦ youāre going to need it. Make IWF proud, make the girls watching at home proud but most of allā¦ make yourselves proud. {The scene closes to a fade as the camera moves away from Verona completely, leaving us with one lasting image of the six women who are about to go to war with one another in a weekās time for the biggest spot of the year in womenās professional wrestling.}----------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------- {The lights in the arena go out as the crowd starts to go crazy.}Vasco Dias: Here we go. The Age of Gods has arrived!!! Terri Morasco: This will be the final first round match in the tag team world cup and itās going to be an interesting. Vasco Dias: Jayson Matthews teams with Ryan Shane against his Lord and Savior and the General of Godās armies, God and Saint Michael! {Necessary Evil by Motionless in White hits the pa as the lights in the arena begin to strobe like crazy to the beat. Angel Blake steps out in a sleeveless gold robe, the World Championship around his waist with Spike Kane and Jayson Matthews to either side of him.}Vasco Dias: They are the most dominating and intimidating force in professional wrestling history! Terri Morasco: A force that has a date at Night of the Immortals, assuming Blake gets past Nighthawk at the Viewerās Choice show! Vasco Dias: I donāt think we need to worry about that. {Blake and Kane throws their arms up into Xās causing pillars of fire to erupt behind them, they turn and crack their Xās together before heading toward the ring, Jayson following behind. Ryan Shane waits in the ring for his partner, unsure of how this is going to work out. Jayson runs up the steps in front of Angel and sits on the second rope allowing Blake easy access to the ring, Spike follows suit. Kane goes right across the ring and gets in Shaneās face as Angel throws his arms out in a mock Christ pose.}Vasco Dias: I donāt see this going well for Mr. Shane. Terri Morasco: I havenāt been the biggest Ryan Shane supporter but he is a former Man of Steel Champion, heās participated in many main events and this tournament could be exactly what he needs to get back on track. Vasco Dias: Heās a lamb to the slaughter. {Jayson seems unsure about cross the ring but Blake seems to assure him and Jayson slowly walks over to Ryan Shane. Shane asks him if everything is going to be ok and Matthews simply steps through the ropes and stands on the apron.}Vasco Dias: Ryan Shane better grow eyes in the back of his head, there is no way Jayson fights against the Age of Gods. Terri Morasco: I absolutely agree, there is no way this doesnāt end badly for Ryan Shane in my opinion. {The referee calls for the bell and Spike is going to start things off with Ryan Shane. Shane and Spike lock up in the center of the ring. Spike goes to over power Shane but Ryan moves right into a side headlock and then a take down. Ryan goes for the rear chin lock but Spike slips right out of it and tackles Shane into the Gods corner. Angel tags Spike and cracks Shane over the back of the head.}Vasco Dias: The Gods working together like a well oiled machine! Terri Morasco: Theyāre going to be the team to beat in the World Cup! {Blake and Kane grab Shane and rip him out of the corner for double short arm clotheslines! Blake pulls Shane up to his feet and pulls him in for a knee lift, Shane fires off a back elbow to Blakeās head. Ryan grabs Angel from behind and picks him up for a dead lift German suplex!}Terri Morasco: Shane getting some offense in on Blake. Vasco Dias: That will be short lived. {Blake gets back ot his feet and grabs Angel for a belly to belly but Blake claps his ears. Shane falls back and Angel connects with a running drop kick that sends Shane into the Gods corner. Blake gets right back up and hits a running knee on the downed Shane and tags in Spike. Kane enters the ring and pulls Ryan up with Angel the two send Shane into the ropes then hoists him up onto the air for a double European upper cut!}Vasco Dias: Excellent tag team work from the Age of Gods. Terri Morasco: Iād say Ryan should make a tag but Iām not sure that would go well for him. Vasco Dias: Go for it, Iād love to see what Jayson would do in there with his Lord and Savior! {Spike pulls Ryan up and throws him into the ropes, Spike looks for Bloody Sunday but Ryan ducks under it. Shane hits the ropes again and comes back with a running elbow strike! Ryan kick Spike and hits him with a big impaler ddt. Ryan goes for the cover but Angel is there with a big stomp on the back of Shane.}Vasco Dias: The thing about tag team matches is you need to have a team. Terri Morasco: Shane would have a team if Angel hadnāt brain washed Jayson. Vasco Dias: Jayson chose his side, he wasnāt brain washed into anything. {The referee backs Angel into his corner as Ryan Shane starts to get up. Ryan turns toward his corner where he finds Matthews suddenly in front of him. Jayson connects with the RibKracker on Shane who bounces back up and right into the THUNDERSTUCK from Spike Kane! Jayson backs off and drops to his knees as he watches with a bit of regret in his face as Spike covers Shane. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!}Vasco Dias: The Age of Gods moves on to Round Two in the Tag Team World Cup! Terri Morasco: With the help of Jayson Matthews. Vasco Dias: Who is a member of the Age of Gods. Theyāre a team and the team just won! {The referee raises the hands of Spike and Angel but Blake pulls away and opens his arms to Jayson who quickly rises up to his feet and hugs Angel Blake, Spike joins them.}Vasco Dias: What a beautiful moment between the powerhouse that is the Age of Gods. Terri Morasco: I canāt believe you. {Blake and Kane raise the hands of Matthews as the crowd boos.}----------------------------------------------------------
IN RING SEGMENT
Awesomely Bueno Confronts CaBerto
---------------------------------------------------------- {Intro the Blizzard of Flames by Turbonegro starts to play as clips of Hollywood and the beach play on the screen. Sexualized shots of Steve Awesome, Mandi Matthews-Bates, El Grande Malo, and Rob Diamond interchange on the screen along with the graphic āAwesome Entourageā. After a few moments the intro slowly fades.}{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting
his name.
"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
Dramatic Pause.
"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"
The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones. Flanked behind him is his wife Mandi Matthews-Bates in a new dress, Malo wearing an Awesomely Bueno t-shirt and Rob Diamond dressed in a ref shirt.
Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery
The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro spray behind him, his entourage clapping and cheering him on.}Terri Morasco: Well it looks like we are being joined by Steve Awesome and his entourage. Vasco Dias: You donāt sound nearly as excited as I am. Terri Morasco: Yeah because Iām jumping for joy every week. Vasco Dias: Iām picking up the sarcasm. Terri Morasco: Good because Iām laying it on very thick. {The crowd is booing as the three men and one woman stand in the ring.}Steve Awesome: The viewers choice pay per view is next week. The one show a year where the fans get to decide what the name of the show is going to be. Rob Diamond: Iām still pissed no one voted for Mediocre Canadian Bash! {Everyone in the ring nods their heads in agreement as the crowd boo. Malo produces a sign that reads āvote for the bashā}El Grande Malo: Si. Malo hopes for a day when there will be mediocre times had by all peoples. Steve Awesome: Itās just another example of the system holding us back. Especially me. You want to tell me why the scrubby kid from The Pack is giving me a chance at a belt before management? Even the least important member of the Pack knows I deserve a chance at a championship. But Cable and Roberto just sit on their thumbs and do nothing. Thatās fine. Because you know what Iām going to do?ā {Steve finds the hard camera and stares into it.}Steve Awesome: Iām going to take advantage of the opportunity. {Steve nods his head as the rest of the group cheer him on and pat him on the back. His Head cocks side to side as he arrogantly addresses the current Extreme Champion.}Steve Awesome: Iām going to take this opportunity ābestowedā to me by Caleb Lockwood and Iām going to take his championship and Iām going to make it look easy! Because Iām the Face of the Franchise and the Best in the World and he is just some loser. That likes to HIDE behind his little group!ā {Steve holds his glare for a few moments then turns to look at Rob, Malo and Mandi.}Steve Awesome: Right guys!? {They all totally agree with him!}Mandi Matthews-Bates: Right! I mean he is gross! Does he even shower? {Mandi gags at the thought.}El Grande Malo: Malo agree. Malo think Caleb Lockwood is muy loser. Rob Diamond: Dude, you are way better than that kid. He totally sucks! {Steve Awesome smiles and nods his head.}Steve Awesome: You guys are right. Caleb is like a little street rat. And Iām a mighty lion. Ready to maul him and the other two DWEEBS in the match. I'm going to climb that ladder and become the new EXTREME Champion! {The crowd boo as Steve smirks.}Steve Awesome: I hope Cable and Verona are watching. In fact, now that you mention it, I bet theyāve been doing a lot of watching. Because they sure as hell havenāt been wrestling! Donāt tell me no one has noticed! While the rest of us in the tag team cup have been busting our asses trying to make it through this tournament, Cable and Verona havenāt even wrestled there first round match! {They all look extra shocked as the crowd boo there shenanigans.}Vasco Dias: Thatās true you know. Terri Morasco: I mean, yeah, but Iām sure there is a reason. I donāt know what is, but Iām sure. Steve Awesome: They thought nobody would notice as they use there booking power to gauge the competition and game the system. But IM ON TO YOU CABLE AND VERONA! Iām onto all your little games and your bias and tyranny!! Weāre all onto you! You canāt hide forever!!! {The King Wants You by Avatar cuts Steve Awesome off as Roberto Verona and Cable Arcane step out onto the stage dressed in finely pressed and fitted suits to a huge crowd pop. Roberto taps Cable on the chest and points at the men and woman in the ring with a chuckle as Cable just shakes his head.}Roberto Verona: I love that you think we are abusing our power by running the company. Cable Arcane: Honestly Steve, do you think a private company this size just runs itself? Steve Awesome: Make all the excuses you want but itās painfully obvious you just want to scout the competition before your first round match. Roberto Verona: Look Steve, while Iād love to stand here and play the villain to your gallant hero the fact of the matter is Cable and I have to make sure there is money in the account to cover your pay check. Cable Arcane: And as much as we would love to wrestle every single week in every single town we have other pressing matters to attend to like the Viewerās Choice pay per view! {The crowd pops.}Roberto Verona: We have an Iron Maiden to fill out, a Open Championship match to set, a World title match to sign. Our jobs are considerably busier than sitting backstage and scouting Todd Williams and Teddy Steele. Cable Arcane: Not that they need much scouting. Roberto Verona: Fact of the matter is Steve, your tin foil hat theories are cute but absolutely wrong. Cable Arcane: And let me just say Steve, if we didnāt want you to face Caleb Lockwood you wouldnāt. So donāt thank him for recognizing your talent, thank us for allowing him to chose you to begin with. {Steve looks furious.}Steve Awesome: I more than earned that shot! I earned that shot ten times over! I am the Face of the Franchise and I swear to God me and Malo are going to win the World Cup and show who the Best in the Business really is! The Extreme Championship is coming home to Awesomely Bueno and- {Steve suddenly stops as the crowd pops for Jason Sandman hopping the crowd barrier.}Roberto Verona: Uh oh. Cable Arcane: Looks like youāve got company. {Roberto and Cable dip backstage as Lockwood steps out through the curtain. Jason Sandman charges the ring as Rob powders out, Ulg Hednir comes out through the crowd and slides in as Caleb rushes down to the ring. Malo tries to defend Steve but Ulf takes his head off with a clothes line.}Vasco Dias: Weāre getting a preview of the Extreme Title ladder match! Terri Morasco: This is mayhem! Vasco Dias: CaBerto knows what the crowd wants to see! {Caleb is in the ring as he and Ulf pair off. Sandman is all over Steve. Rob watches from the outside demanding security get down here.}Vasco Dias: Canāt say Steve didnāt ask for this after all his gloating! Terri Morasco: This feels a little like a set up! {Security finally starts to pour out from the back as Sandman has Steve dead to rights, Ulf has fought back Caleb but all four men are broken up and pushed back into their own corners by a half dozen guards each.}Vasco Dias: A set up!? This is what happens when you run your mouth! Terri Morasco: Or what happens when you cross the bosses. {Security is holding everyone back as Rob makes it a point to check on Mandi who seems appreciative of the support.}Vasco Dias: Rob is just such a stand up guy. Terri Morasco: Seriously? Vasco Dias: Seriously. Terri Morasco: The fight has been subdued for now but this Sunday there will be no security as these four men will go toe to toe for the Extreme Championship in a Ladder Match! Vasco Dias: As well as the main event, the Iron Maiden where the winner will receive a Womens World Championship match! Terri Morasco: Weāll see you Sunday! {The show ends on the four men for the ladder match being held back, each one staring daggers at each other.} |
