Andrew addresses the events of last Sacrifice
------------------------------------
{The Sacrifice intro video fades into the opening pyro display, the Tacoma crowd roaring loudly as the explosions settle and the camera pans across the assembled members of the IWF Galaxy.}Terri Morasco: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Sacrifice! We are live here in Tacoma, with a capacity crowd ready for a night of action!
Vasco Dias: A blockbuster main event, multiple clashes with Heir to the Throne implications, we've got ourselves quite the event coming!
{As Terri and Vasco continue to hype the evening's events, "Fool in Paradise" abruptly cuts off, replaced by "Unbreakable" by Fireflight. Andrew Jacobsen walks out from behind the curtain in street clothes, a microphone in hand. The reaction is mostly positive, though there are a few scattered and notable boos as he walks down the ramp.}Terri Morasco: There's been quite a lot of controversy about Andrew Jacobsen's actions last week on Sacrifice, and it looks like the former World Champion is out to answer a few questions.
Vasco Dias: He sold out! That's the obvious conclusion, Morasco. Didn't you hear the music that was playing? He was purchased, hook, line, and sinker, courtesy of King International and the House of Howlett!
{Andrew rolls into the ring, looking around and twirling the microphone between his hands with a pensive expression on his face. He raises the microphone, exhaling slowly and looking up at the crowd.}Andrew Jacobsen: There's been a lot of speculation, a lot of theories that've been thrown about regarding my intervention in the business between the Age of Gods and Ethan King. A lot of accusations have been leveled at me: that I've lost my morals, that I'm corrupt, that I've been lying to the people, that I'm betraying my friends...I promise you, none of those are true.
{A murmur rises from the crowd as Andrew rubs the bridge of his nose.}Andrew Jacobsen: I am not part of the House of Howlett. Regardless of who she employs, I will never have a good opinion of Laura Howlett. Her goons nearly crippled my friend and her pet projects have hassled me time and again, and she has been enough of a thorn in the side of IWF and me personally that she couldn't pay me enough to work for her.
{A pop rises from the crowd for this, and Andrew acknowledges it with a grin before continuing.}Andrew Jacobsen: The truth is...when I was forced out of this company by Roberto Verona two years ago, I fell on...hard times. I went overseas to Japan and tried to find myself again. And...I didn't. I lost myself harder than I had before I got there. Xavier tried to help, but he wasn't in any position to be helping anyone, and it took all I had to keep him going. I hit rock bottom, and...I didn't know where to go.
{He rubs his temples, shaking his head and leaning aginst the ropes. Andrew looks up into the hard camera with a plaintinve expression on his face.}Andrew Jacobsen: Ethan King saved my life. He pulled me out of an Osaka gutter and reminded me not just what I was capable of as a performer, but why I loved doing this for all of you. He put me back together, reforged me, and helped me discover what each and every opponent I've faced across the last eighteen months has been learning: that I...am...
{He steps back from the ropes and lets the crowd finish with a loud "UNBREAKABLE!", grinning ear to ear. Andrew looks around at the crowd, tilting his head to the side slightly, and smirks.}Andrew Jacobsen: Now, Spike Kane's a little hot under the collar about it. Upset that I ruined his night. Well, I may not be Roberto Verona's favorite child, but I can still make a few requests, and he knows what's best for business. So don't worry, Spike. You'll get another shot at me. Matter of fact, grab Angel and bring him too, because next week, you two are looking at a tag match against Ethan King...and ME!
{Andrew grins as the crowd roars its approval, twirling the microphone again, and leans over the ropes once more.}Andrew Jacobsen: Mess with the bull, boys, you get the horns. See you next week.
{He hands off the microphone, grinning ear-to-ear, and rolls out of the ring, high-fiving fans as he walks back up the ramp.}Terri Morasco: Well, that explains some things! We've got ourselves a match set for next week, and you can't imagine this is going to be anything resembling civil!
Vasco Dias: This is going to be a catastrophe! This is going to be a disaster! This is going to be a bloodbath! I can't wait!
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Friends forever ------------------------------------
{We go backstage to find Rob Diamond and El Grande Malo looking through an old antique jukebox.}
Rob Diamond: Oh check it out Malo, they got the Monkees. You know they were a huge influence on the Beatles.
El Grande Malo: Oh si, si.
{Just then Steve Awesome comes walking up to his friends.}
Steve Awesome: Hey you assholes! Where the hell were you during my match against Ethan King last week? You were supposed to get me disqualified!
Rob Diamond: Yeah about that, we were going to do that, but then we decided not too. You know, too busy trying to get out acts together and everything.
{Steve Awesome could sense the sarcasm in Robās voice, and he crosses his arms and shakes his head.}
Steve Awesome: Okay, ha ha, very funny. But seriously, I need you guys tonight!
Rob Diamond: Woah, woah...you honestly think Iām going to do something to screw over Spike? OUR friend? No way. Being in a match against him is one thing, but Iām not going screw over my brother.
El Grande Malo: Si. And Malo doesnāt really like the idea of angering the Gods.
{Steve looks at both of them trying to see if they were serious and neither of them cracked.}
Steve Awesome: Oh so itās like that then? You guys are just going to turn your backs on me?
El Grande Malo: Si.
{Malo says, in a comforting voice.}
El Grande Malo: But Malo will be rooting you on!
{Rob and Malo start to walk away.}
Steve Awesome: But...Guys...what am I supposed to do about tonight?
{Rob turns back.}
Rob Diamond: I donāt know. You are the best in the world. Iām sure youāll think of something.
{Rob and Malo walk away leaving Steve Awesome as he seems to look worried.}
------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCHHTTT points go to their teams
James Gilmore & El Grande Malo v Jayson Matthews & Redcap------------------------------------
Allison Valance: The following tag match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: Four men competing for Heir to the Throne points. Itās hard to say if the teams will work together
Vasco Dias: As they will be getting equal points with their teammates it would be in their best interest to work together, unless they want to ensure their teammate doesnāt get any points.
{ Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance" begins to play as jets of water shoot out from all directions. We then see James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, headbanging to the classic speed metal tune, before posing to the crowd and walking down to the ring. }
Allison Valance: First, Weighing in at 205 pounds, hailing from Corpus Christi, TXā¦JAMES GILMORE!
Vasco Dias: Gilmore is tied with Nighthawk for most points currently in the Heir to the Throne situation. I donāt imagine anyone would have called that.
Terri Morasco: James has had some personal troubles outside the ring but things seem to be working out in his favor lately. Weāll see if that continues here tonight.
{The house lights dim slightly as the words āOLĆā appear on the screen. The fans begin chanting along with the music as El GrandĆ© Malo bursts out from behind the curtain. He stomps his way out to the center of the stage, bouncing up and down in time with the music. He hops up and down pointing into the air and quickly begins jogging down toward the ring, slapping the outstretched hands along the way, before sliding into the ring and heading for the nearest corner. He scales the turnbuckles and continues to hype up the chanting crowd before dropping down and pulling on the nearby top rope, stretching while waiting for the match to begin.}
Allison Valance: And his teammate, weighing in at 205 pounds, hailing from Mexico, Maine ā¦EL GRANDE MALO
Vasco Dias: This is Maloās first match for heir to the throne with Gilmore on his side. Itās interesting to see him out here without Steve or rob by his side.
Terri Morasco: He wants to make an impression here. I have no doubt he will try to work with Gilmore here.
Allison Valance: And in the other cornerā¦
{The drum fill kicks in the door and the guitar riff of 311ās Perfect Mistake starts blasting over the PA system.}
āListen Up!ā
{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. 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
Allison Valance: Weighing in at 200 pounds, hailing from Detroit, Michiganā¦JAYSON MATTHEWS!
{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 arms. While the lights strobe orange and black.}
āOhhhhhhhhhh
See in it my eyes
Hold it in my hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It's a perfect mistake
{He hops up on the turnbuckle and points to the crowd with his other hand. Thanking the fans for the cheers.}
Vasco Dias: Jayson has been going through a rough couple months. Finds his father, gets traded to the Pack. It must be so hard for him.
Terri Morasco: I believe it was revealed not to be his real father.
Vasco Dias: My point stands.
{The lights flicker as the drums of āWhite rabbitā stars to hit the P.A and out slides the Redcap, slowly swaggering to the ring as if in a trance nodding his head and pushing at the crowd before climbing the apron and sliding backwards into the ring on his belly into a corner slowly pushing to his feet before throwing himself across the top rope as if it were a hammock to slide his jacket off.}
Allison Valance: And his teammate, weighing in at 210 pounds, hailing from Arcadiaā¦ REDCAP!
Vasco Dias: Redcap has made an impression lately. Calling Andrew out on twitter, taunting Dean Harper, the clinic he and Xavier put on together. Itās hard to ignore him and his weird poetry nonsense.
Terri Morasco: I kind of like the poems.
Vasco Dias: Of course you do.
{As all four men go to their respective corners there is a discussion on who will start the match. Gilmore stands in the ring first which causes Jayson to demand to go in first. Redcap seems to think on it a moment before relenting to Jaysonās request and standing on the outside.}
Vasco Dias: Interesting start to the match. Jayson wants to likely pay Gilmore back for the cheating he did at Open fight Night with that win while he was distracted.
Terri Morasco: ā¦How can you call that cheating?
{As soon as the bell rings Jayson springs out of his corner hitting Gilmore with a diving kick to the face, knocking the one eyed dreamer against the turnbuckle. He grabs Gilmore by the hair and drags him out of his corner before Malo can tag himself in. He drops Gilmore in the center of the ring.}Vasco Dias: Jayson is wasting no time taking it straight to Gilmore.
Terri Morasco: One of Jaysonās strengths is his speed. Redcap makes a perfect partner in that aspect because they are both very fast.
{Jayson waits for Gilmore to get up before hitting him with a hurricanranna, knocking Gilmore back down to the mat.}Vasco Dias: Really wanting Gilmore to feel these moves here.
Terri Morasco: He seems pretty focused. Going as hard as he can at the beginning.
{Jayson goes for the pin
1
Malo leaps out of his corner and hits Jayson with a superkick to the shoulder before going back to his corner. Jayson lets up the pin.}Vasco Dias: A save from Malo. Heās a good friend like that. Even if Steve isnāt here.
Terri Morasco: Iām not denying that Malo is used to making saves.
{Gilmore gets up and hits Jayson with a Spinning wheel kick. He waits for Jayson to get up before hitting Jayson with a Reverse Blast, knocking him back. Gilmore moves over to his corner and tags Malo in.}
Vasco Dias: Our first tag of the match. Letās see if Jayson can get his momentum back.
Terri Morasco: Jayson has been the underdog before and pulled it off.
{Malo launches out of his corner with a Flying cross body, hitting Jayson down to the mat. Malo kicks Jayson in the ribs and the shoulder he had super kicked earlier. Jayson hits Malo with a spinning wheel kick knocking him back. He touches his shoulder, testing it before hitting Malo with a springboard flying forearm but clearly winces and holds his arm a little.}
Vasco Dias: Jaysonās shoulder seems to be bothering him.
Terri Morasco: Hopefully it doesnāt deter him.
{Malo hits Jayson with a Reverse STO into the turnbuckle. Redcap uses this opportunity to tag himself in.}
Vasco Dias: and now we have Redcap in the match.
Terri Morasco: Be interesting to see how this goes.
{Redcap hits Malo with a European uppercut followed quickly by an Arm wringer Pele kick. Redcap barely pauses before hitting Malo with a Back breaker. As soon as Malo gets up he tries to go for a Brainbuster dropped onto the knee but Redcap Reflections into stealing SĆŗper Ćltimo Ataque.}
Vasco Dias: Thatā¦ He just stole Maloās own finishing move against him!
Terri Morasco: Itās something he has done before.
{Redcap hits Malo with a FLICKER FLASH while he lays on the mat. Gilmore tries to get in the ring but Jayson has walked up behind him and grabs his legs, pulling him down to hit the ropes before falling onto the outside of the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Jayson keeping Gilmore from saving his teammate here.
Terri Morasco: things arenāt looking good here.
{Redcap goes for the pin

3!!}Allison Valance: And your winnersā¦. JAYSON MATTHEWS AND THE REDCAP!
{ White Rabbit ā Jefferson Airplane plays over the PA system as Redcap gets up off of Malo.}
Vasco Dias: Itās hard to believe the odd couple team of Redcap and Jayson worked out so well together.
{Jayson and Redcap stand in the center of the ring, sizing each other up before raising each otherās arms in the air.}
Vasco Dias: With Heir to the Throne heating up you have to wonder what will happen next.
Terri Morasco: Hard to say.
------------------------------------
SEGMENTThaddeus gives his feeling on Heir to the Throne------------------------------------
{We Fade in on Thaddeus sat in a high backed leather chair and wearing a suit of most impeccable tatse as he strokes his facial har and sips a cup of tea.}
"I have been askedto give my thoughts on the Heir To The Throne, an eevnt of which naturally I have been netered but as of yet not been summonedor had adequate opprtunity to gather the necessarry momentum to earn what I feel is my right ful place among the leaders of this , elite, cheerful group."
{Thaddeus dusted himself off and smiles.}
"But I am nott he only one not yet to compete, and this suits me fine, I have had opportunity to study my opponents and figure out their veritable achilles heels as it were so it is that I may claim what awaits. My Throne."
{He chuckles.}
"Some wouldexposit large rants to what amounts to simple bad timing, I am paitent and good this do come to those who wait, you will see Thaddeus will prevail. England Will prevail."
{A pause and a salute to the camera.}
"Pip, pip old boys, I'll see you there."
{Fade out.}
------------------------------------
BACKSTAGE SEGMENTAbout the attack------------------------------------
{The camera catches Jayson walking backstage with Warren Kane. Rachel Grimes walks in front of the camera.}
Rachel Grimes: Jayson? Do you have a moment to talk about the attack on God last week? Up until this point, heās been referred to as your father and you attack him unprovoked.
{Jayson stops walking, turning on his heel to face the camera and Rachel.}Jayson Matthews: Heās not God. Heās not even my real father.
{Warren puts a hand on Jaysonās shoulder and the two of them walk off together leaving Rachel to look at the camera for a second and shrug.}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHMike Laszlo v Ulf Hednir ------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is scheduled for one fallā¦
{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. 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 "SkƄl!" 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: From Oslo, Norway, weighing in at 243 pounds...ULF...HEDNIIIIR!
Terri Morasco: This match should be an interesting one. These two went to a time limit draw at Bloody Assizes, and I can assure you that nothing was settled.
Vasco Dias: Nothing? Weāve clearly heard straight from Mikeās lips that he doesnāt respect Ulf and expects to use him as a stepping stone in this tournament.
Alison Valance: And his opponentā¦
{"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 boos from the crowd. Surveying the crowd, 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 boos again. 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: Mike has come out this past week and said he wants to hit his stride again. A win tonight would be a good first step.
Vasco Dias: He also said heās going to use Ulf as a stepping stool, and Iāve seen nothing either way to say if thatās going to happen or not.
{The bell rings and the two men step to the center of the ring, Mike mouthing off, Ulf just smirking until Mikeās face seems unamused and he hauls off, slapping Ulf across the face.}
Mike Laszlo: YOUāRE GOING TO LEARN!
{Ulf doesnāt take too kindly to this, immediately turning and taking Mike down, unloading with rights and lefts as Mike does his best to cover up, eventually getting his attacker off of him and rolling out of the way, and out of the ring. Ulf rolls out after, running around the corner of the ring, charging Laszlo who moves out of the way at the last second, Ulf crashing hard into the steps at ringside. The referee is up to three.}
Terri Morasco: And just like that, Mike has the upper hand off of Ulfās aggressiveness.
Vasco Dias: The experience factor here is going to come into play.
{Mike rolls into the ring, and Ulf is on all fours, crawling toward the ring apron as the referee hits five. Ulf rolls in at six and Mike immediately goes on the attack, hitting Ulf in the back of the neck with a flurry of elbow drops. He then pulls him to his feet, snapping him up and over with a Vertical Suplex toward the center of the ring, floating over and hooking the leg for only a two count, Ulfās kickout emphatic enough to bring him to a seated position. This leaves him open for a chinlock as Mike pulls back, his knee in Ulfās back. Ulf manages though to get to his feet with a nice show of strength, before simply falling back, driving Mike down into the canvas. Both men are down.}
Terri Morasco: These two had an even fight at Bloody Assizes and theyāve picked up where they left off here tonight.
Vasco Dias: A setback for Mike, donāt worryā¦
{Both men get to their feet, Mike with the help of the ropes, and Ulf is the first to shoot a shot to Mikeās face, but Mike retaliates with a right hand of his own that is jeered. Ulf hits again, and then Mike, and then Ulf, and then Mike drives his knee into Ulfās gut. He pulls him in and hooks his arms for the āWelcome to the CLEā but Ulf blocks and flips Mike through the air with a back body drop. He turns as Mike is getting up and levels him with a Clothesline, but Mike is quickly up, only to be taken down again.}
Terri Morasco: Ulf building momentum here.
{He then grabs Mike and whips him into the corner, following him in with a huge Splash in the corner before sending him to the opposite corner and repeating the process, only this time taking a few steps back and connecting with a Spinning Backfist that takes Mike down.}
Terri Morasco: Fury of the Gods by Ulf Hednir!
{Ulf drops down for the cover but only gets a two count before Mike puts his foot on the bottom rope. Ulf canāt believe he didnāt pull him farther from the ropes, but he doesnāt let it get to him long enough not to be thinking of his next move and backs up into the opposite corner, waiting for Mike to get to his feet before charging in, looking for the āThorās Rageā but Mike is able to avoid the punch as Ulf stumbles forward. He turns and Mike plants a stiff kick into his gut before charging the ropes and coming back with the āShot of Maliceā knee strike. Mike drops down for a cover, but he too only gets a two count.}
Terri Morasco: A sequence there that might have knocked out other men.
Vasco Dias: Mike isnāt done...look.
{Mike is signaling for the end. He pulls Ulf to his feet...SMALL PACKAGE!
ONE!
TWO!
NOOOOOO!}
Terri Morasco: Ulf almost surprised Mike there.
{The two are to their feet and Ulf charges for another Clothesline but Mike ducks grabbing Ulf and spinning him into a Neckbreaker, going for the cover, but again only getting two. Mike is up and he kicks the bottom rope in frustration, turning his attention he waits for Ulf to get to his feet and charges forward, contorting his body, looking to lock in the Entanglement and does so in the center of the ring!}
Vasco Dias: I told you!
Terri Morasco: Heās got it locked in on Ulf in the center of the ring!
{Mike pulls back on the hold, perhaps too much allowing Ulf a little room to get free, swinging Mike out of the hold and onto Ulfās shoulders, looking for his version of the Death Valley Driver he calls the Valhalla Driver!}
Terri Morasco: And just like that, Ulf is in control!
{Mike though rains down elbows to the side of Ulfās face, allowing himself time to slide down Ulfās back, shoving him forward into the corner, chest first against the turnbuckle! Ulf stumbles out and is kicked in the gut and lifted onto Mikeās shoulders...MALICIOUS INTENT! Ulf falls backward and Mike pulls him from the ropes, falling and hooking the legā¦
1!
2!
3!
The bell rings as āCult of Personalityā plays over the in house speakers.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner...MIKE...LASZLOOOOO!
{Alexis enters the ring and the two celebrate the victory.}
Terri Morasco: A win for Mike and a step in the right direction when it comes to the Heir to the Throne.
Vasco Dias: He told you he would win, I told you he would win, and yet you didnāt believe either of us.
Terri Morasco: Well, the proof was right in front of us...and this Heir to the Throne is just getting started.
{Mike and Alexis are now on the ramp, smiling at Ulf who looks up at them from the mat as we go to commercial.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENTCharity Crowne makes an announcement------------------------------------
{Backstage, we see Rachel Grimes walking along, minding her own business when she's suddenly cut off by the appearance of the Best Friends Club. Charity Crowne grins ear to ear as she hands Rachel a piece of paper.}Charity Crowne: Read this, would you?
{Rachel takes the paper, blinking confusedly as she reads it over.}Rachel Grimes: Charity, how do you feel about being named the number one contender for the Women's World Championship? Wait, when didā
{Charity cuts her off with a saccharine, overly-enthusiastic coo, practically bouncing on her heels.}Charity Crowne: I'm SOOOO glad you asked! Well, as we all know, this has been a LONG time coming. Did you know I've never had a one-on-one shot at the Women's World Title? It's a disgrace, frankly, and I'm glad it's being rectified. You should be too, as a fan of good things. You...ARE a fan of good things, right?
{Rachel nods slowly, clearly taken off-guard.}Rachel Grimes: This is...certainly a big moment. How does that affect your game plan for your match tonight against Pandora Freeman?
{Charity shrugs, smirking and inspecting her nails.}Charity Crowne: It's gonna make me think, innit? Gonna make me work for it. But that's alright, I'm used to having to overcome the women of this company to get what I'm owed. Watch and learn, darling, watch and learn. Cheers!
{With that, Charity flounces off, a smirk on her face a mile wide. Ciara O'Connor follows, a genuine smile on her face, and the camera pans slightly to show Christina Rose glaring daggers at the receding forms of O'Connor and Crowne. We hold on shot for a moment before fading back to the arena.}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHRoberto Verona v Xavier Cross------------------------------------
Alison Valance: āThis next contest is a singles contest scheduled for 1 fall.ā
{The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, psyching himself up as he awaits the beginning of the match.}
Alison Valance: āIntroducing first, originally from Firenze, Italy but now residing in Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at 220 poundsā¦. Roberto Verona!ā
{The lights grow a little brighter, as the intro to 'X Gon Give it to Ya' by DMX begins to play on the loudspeakers, out from the behind the curtain slowly walks to the stage, rotating his shoulders a bit, a smirk on his face as he throws his hands up to the cheers of the crowd, pushing his hood back, glancing around the arena hand over his brow to block out some of the light. }Alison Valance: "Standing at six feet three inches, weighing in at two hundred and thirty one pounds....he hails from Atlanta, Georgia by way of Lexington, Virginia....he is Xavier.....CROOOOOOOSSSSSS..."
{Throwing his fist in the air, a series of flames lights up the sides of the entrance ramp down to the ring as he charges forward running down the ramp, sliding into the ring through the bottom rope, glancing around a bit, he tosses his jacket off, before making his way to hard camera ropes, putting one foot on the middle rope lifting himself up throwing up a single fist in the air, as the fire slowly goes on the entrance ramp, but the four turnbuckles send a series of fire pyrotechnics into the air. Walking back, the fire slowly fades as he begins to stretch off in his corner.}
Terri Morasco: āAnd in what should be a very interesting matchup, Xavier Cross steps in the ring with Roberto Verona in a rare singles match for Mr. Verona. Heās competed in tag team action rather extensively, recently, while Xavier Cross has been plagued by the Jason Sandman question.ā
Vasco Dias: āThatās exactly right, Terri. Xavier Cross was, according to all the people I spoke to, barely cleared for competition. If I was him, and with it enough to put together a strategy, Iād want to try and fire my big guns early. The last thing Xavier Cross can have here is a situation where he takes a lot of punishment in a long, physical match. Conversely, Roberto Verona has been primarily a tag team wrestler for the past few months. In this one-on-one match, I imagine heās going to want to keep the pace slow and deliberate. In every way possible, Xavier Cross is not Todd Williams.ā
{As the referee rings the bell Roberto Verona immediately goes for a collar-and-elbow lockup only to find himself hooked into a tight small package that gets a 2-count, Xavier Cross clearly interested in ending things with a flash pin. Almost as soon as Verona kicks out he quickly hits a side headlock takeover from his knees, trying to control his opponent and keep the pace slow. Reaching out for the ropes, quite obviously trying to get out of this hold before too much more damage is done, Xavier instead goes for a quick schoolboy cradle that gets a 2-count. Popping up to his feet Xavier goes for a victory roll only for Roberto to roll through and stack up for a flash three-count as Xavier looks around in shock.}
------------------------------------
IN-RING SEGMENT
Save her
------------------------------------
{Everything goes dark in the Tacoma Dome as the tron lights up to reveal Jason Sandman sitting in what looks to be a throne, but nothing about the demeanor or mannerisms match Jason Sandman. Finally the eyes open and reveal nothingness. Soon after the demonic laughter of The Angel is heard and the hiss follows.}
The Angel: Hello my children and welcome to another moment in time that inches you closer to being my possessions. For today we are going to discuss what happens to my possessions when they donāt do as is required of them. Xavier, I must say I am disappointed. You were supposed to come and destroy my vessel and let out those frustrations you harbor so foolishly. I suppose we just need to provide motivation.
{With that a female figure rises and and sits in the lap of Jason Sandman. It is obvious that something is not right about this woman as they looks to be somewhat pieced together. The lips of the woman start kissing the side of Jasonās face as her hands rub his chest.}
The Angel: Does this flesh look familiar to you Xavier? I brought her back just for you. You just have to fulfill my requirements, and life for you goes back to your dreamland.
{The woman starts getting closer to Jasonās lips when The Angel lifts a mirror up and the woman starts crying before falling to the floor in agony.}
The Angel: Now Cari sees her face. She was once so beautiful. Now sheās been kissed by flames. Can you hear her mourning Xavier? Come to her. Lie and tell her sheās still beautiful. Allow her vanity to fill her soul again. Do all this so when I take her away again, her hell is justified. Come find me Xavier. Donāt fail her again.
{The tron goes dark, but throughout the arena The Angelās laugh can be heard.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENTChristina wants a word------------------------------------
{We find ourselves by the ringside area and the ring is decorated with a red carpet. The ring posts are wrapped in green as the tops of them have a red top to symbolize a robe. There are two lounge chairs in the middle of the ring and standing in the middle of the ring wearing what looks to be a megaman t shirt and a pair of eye glasses is none other than Christina Rose. She smiles as she holds the microphone up to her lips and begins to speak.}Christina: Hello everyone my name is Christina Rose and you are now all apart of the very first edition of the Rose Garden. Now I know Crystal was too much all over the place. Constantly flip flopping but today you wonāt get that. Today you get IWFās official nerdy journalist and tonight I am lucky. I get to interview a beast a woman who stabbed one of her best friendās in the back to get ahead. Ladies and gentlemen I give to you CIARA O CONNOR!!!
{Ciara walks down the ramp to boos from the crowd. When she arrives in the ring she stand looking around and giving Christina a cold look}Ciara: What is this now?
Christina: This is my talk show where I ask you the questions everyone wants to know. Donāt be blinded by the idiocy of Dr Wily stay true to Dr. Light and most of all to this Rose! In order words follow my lead. You are a star in the making and the world saw you a few weeks ago tell your friends you had enough. Care to elaborate how you feel about the Best Friends Club?!
{Christina smirks evilly}Ciara: In front of everyone? Youāre serious?
{Ciara crosses her arms.}Ciara: I think Crystal saw us as nothing more than accessories that be tossed aside the first chance she got. I think she doesnāt give a damn about us and use us because youāreā-sheās bored.
{Ciara glances around.}Ciara: I think a change is needed because apparently Crystal isnāt even here anymore...is that right?
Christina: Crystal is long gone last time I checked she cried and took her bags home. Something about not being respected but donāt worry because I have taken over her body and all of you will love me. Now from what I gather there is trouble brewing within the ranks. I get it you feel like a used tampon. Crystal didnāt know if she wanted to be a goody two shoes or a bitch and you have Charity who didnāt stand with the group when Shea lost the baby. Seems like itās one big clusterfuck of women who donāt know what they want to do but no worries because I am here to let you and everyone know I will save the day!
{Christina grins}Christina: This roster is filled with goths and freaks who are fighting for control but only one group has what it takes to overthrow everyone else and thats THE BFC wouldnāt you agree?!
Ciara: ...Yeah, but donāt know you. Why should you lead?
C
hristina: Because I am the most intelligent in the group and I full cleared Battle Toads on the coop and NOBODY BEATS THAT ONE STAGE ON COOP! I am that good and while everyone is stricken with writerās block I have it in me to keep flowing. To bring what this group needs. You canāt go wrong with the likes of me! I mean I have the full scoop on just about everything!
{Ciara shakes her head.}Ciara: Prove it then.
{Ciara exits the ring and walks back up the ramp. The camera focuses on Christinaās face before cutting to commercial.}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHJansen Myrrh vs Hope Freeman-Kane-Hall------------------------------------
{The synth sounds of "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" by Panic At The Disco begins to play across the arena as Jansen Myrrh steps into the open. She takes a moment to pause and look at the large crowd that has gathered to see the event, perhaps even looking a bit awestruck.}Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Augusta, Georgia, weighing in at 130 pounds, Jansen Myrrh!
Terri Morasco: Jansen Myrrh is one of the most tenacious competitors here in IWF. She's hunting for that big break, that moment where she really gets to shine, and she's hoping to have it tonight.
Vasco Dias: Sure she is. And I'm hoping that we find out where Alexis Gold went. Call me back!
{The vocals kick in, jarring her out of her awe and she begins to walk down the ramp. She waves at first and then walks over to the side and slaps a few hands with the fans before she gets to the ring. She pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath -- holding for a moment before letting it out and then takes one step at a time up the ring steps and walks along the apron. Again, she gets a look at how large the crowd is, momentariliy mesmerized as she ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and slips inside the ring and nodding with a smile to the referee before heading to her corner.}Alison Valance: And her opponent...
{The lights go out and strobe lights flash wildly as Babymetalās āMegitsuneā blasts through the sound system. Slowly the stage fills with smoke and as the music builds to a crescendo a spotlight shines down on Hope Freeman-Hall-Kane one on knee at the top of the ramp.}Alison Valance: From Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 135 pounds, Hope Freeman-Hall-Kane!
Terri Morasco: Making her INCREDIBLY highly-anticipated debut here tonight, this young woman seems to be carrying quite the legacy with her!
Vasco Dias: She intimidates me, Morasco. I don't know how to say how I feel about it. Is the phrase in English...scaroused?
Terri Morasco: What is WRONG with you?
{She rises and throws her arms out sideways as the lights flash on and off. Hope makes her way towards the ring, steel faced, preparing for what is to come. She rolls through the bottom rope and to a knee once more before throwing her arms out again as she rises to a huge cheer from the crowd.}Terri Morasco: Two young and hungry women in this ring, but only one can be victorious. Let's find out who it'll be!
{The bell rings, and the two women close with each other, Hope staring a hole in Jansen. They shoot in to lock up, but Hope ducks underneath, snaring a rear waistlock. She runs Jansen to the ropes, but Jansen hooks her arms, causing Hope to roll backwards when she attempts to roll Jansen up. Hope pops to her feet, and Jansen turns around into a kick to the gut and a THUNDERSTRUCK!}Terri Morasco: WHOA!
Vasco Dias: DEUS MEU!
{Hope drops into a cover!
ONE! TWO! THREE! The bell rings as "Megitsune" plays and Hope gets to her feet, the referee raising her hand as Jansen stares up at the ceiling, dazed and bug-eyed.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Hope Freeman-Hall-Kane!
Terri Morasco: Just like that! Just! Like! That! Hope Freeman-Hall-Kane comes up big in her singles debut here!
Vasco Dias: FHK with the TKO! One hell of a debut! Takes after her old man and...ladies? I don't know how this works.
Terri Morasco: Regardless, triumph for one and tragedy for another here tonight on Sacrifice!

SEGMENTMy son------------------------------------
{The feed seems to glitch out before a camera comes on to God standing in a dark room with the only light illuminating his face.}āJaysonā¦ā
{God looks deep into the camera.}āYou may not be blood but you are my child...But I gave my only begotten son once before. ā
{The camera seems to glitch out before returning to the show.}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHPandora Freeman-Hall-Kane v Charity Crowne------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring ā From Hope, Michigan, weighing in at 160 pounds ā PANDORA FREEMAN-HALL-KANE!
{The lights dim, Even as the Intro to the song helps to light up UV the intro strains of "Showdown" start to play and the words start to play as Pandora rises from under floor the entrance, head lowered hands behind her back.}
"It's been such a long time coming
I'd thought you'd understand
That's over, hate of the last
Will be joining in the sand
But it's simple you were wrong
You must have known that we didn't not belong
I know you thought I'd sold my soul
But you never told me to my face
I just had to let you go
And blow this shit away
Here we go again"
{As the song kicks in fully Pan seems to explode out bouncing down the ramp lit up like a christmas tree before mounting the apron with a full dide to side aapron knee slidetheat ends in her standing to vault over the top rop and bouncing to the beat smiling like a lunatic.}
Vasco Dias: Pandoraās looking fired up tonight!
Terri Morasco: Is she ever not looking fired up?
Alison Valance: And her opponentā¦
{"Pop pop!"
The clapping synth intro of "Popular" by The Veronicas plays over the PA, and Charity Crowne walks out onto the stage, rolling her eyes and striking a brief pose at the top of the ramp as Ciara OāConnor and Christina Rose fall in behind her. She smirks, rolling her wrist, and struts down the ramp, dismissing fans if they reach over the barricade. Charity hooks the ring post with a hand, walking around to the side of the ring, and plants a hand on the ring apron, jumping and swinging herself under the bottom rope. She back-rolls to her feet in the middle of the ring, posing again, and casually walks to a corner. She wraps her hand around the top rope, casually yanking on it a few times as she waits and the music fades, Ciara and Christina settling in at ringside}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by the Best Friends Club from Kensington, London, England ā weighing in at 130 pounds ā The Diamond In The Rough, CHARITY CROWNE!
Terri Morasco: We learned earlier this evening that Charity Crowne will be facing Brooklyn Madrox for the IWF Womenās World Championship at Lineage.
Vasco Dias: Which she well deserves!
Terri Morasco: Weāll see if the Rainbow Raver disagrees.
DING!
{As the bell rings, the two women immediately square off, circling one another as they wait to see who makes the first moveā¦ but the answer ends up being neither of them as Christina Rose slides into the ring with a steel chair! She slams it into Pandoraās back, knocking the woman to the floor as Charity looks on with a mix of shock, and then anger. The referee immediately calls for the bell!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, by disqualificationā¦ PANDORA FREEMAN!
Terri Morasco: What was THAT?
Vasco Dias: Thisā¦ was this planned? Christina Rose just cost Charity Crowne the match!
{Charity glares at Christina, who is grinning smugly at both her and Pandora, who is rolling to the edge of the ring. Ciara looks on, not sure what to do or who to side with.}
Vasco Dias: I canāt tell if this was planned by the Best Friends Club from the start, or if costing Charity the match is some sort of revenge for what Charity and Ciara did to Christina at Last Ritesā¦
{Before anything further can happen in the ring, however, "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to play, causing all heads to turn to the entrance ramp as Robeto Verona strides into the stage.}
Roberto Verona: You knowā¦ in hindsight I suppose I shouldnāt be surprised. Charityā¦ you were given a chance to prove to the world that you are everything you say you are. You were given a number one contendership to the biggest belt in your division ā some might say that itās been far too long coming after your victory in Diamonds in the Rough. If the people in that tournament, three of them have been champions in this division, two of them holding the gold ā but none of them were you. You finally had a chance to remind the world why you rose above the likes of Rowan MacDonnough, Maxine Valentine and Brooklyn Madrox back thenā¦ but now?
{He shakes his head.}
Roberto Verona: This is disappointing. People wanted to see you facing Pandora, and now thatās been taken away because you and your āfriendsā couldnāt keep yourselves from cheating.
{Charity shakes her head, pointing at Christina angrily as she tries to declare that she had no idea of what Christina was going to doā¦ but Verona either canāt hear her or chooses to ignore her.}
Roberto Verona: Last year at Lineage, Pandora Freeman defended the Womenās World Championship in a match that, at the last minute, was turned into a triple threat. The last minute addition was the one who ended up taking the belt away from her. Letās see if karma decides to pay her back by letting her do the same thing, exactly one year laterā¦.
{Charityās mouth falls open with shock and rage as Pandora begins to laugh, the audience revving up like a jet engine.}
Roberto Verona: At Lineage, Brooklyn Madrox will be defending her belt against BOTH of youā¦ and your ābest friendsā will be, just like The Pack, BARRED from ringside.
{The crowd erupts as Verona walks backstage, causing Charity to whirl on Christina Rose with fury in her eyes. Christina shrugs, winks, and rolls out of the ring, leaving Charity and Ciara together as Charity tries to figure out what to do next.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Steve Awesome and Cable have a face off------------------------------------
āRegrets Iāve Got Miiiiiiiine!!ā
{Full of Regret by Danko Jones starts to play over the speakers and Steve Awesome steps onto the stage as the crowd boo him out of the building.He just sneers at everyone and struts down to the ring anyways.}
Terri Morasco: What the hell does this asshole want?
Vasco Dias: I notice he isnāt being flanked by Rob and Malo here.
Terri Morasco: Sounds like trouble in the Infamously Bueno camp.
{Steve stands in the ring as his music dies down. All that is left are the boos in the building and the chants. āNo one likes you! *clap* clap* *clap clap clap* āGo the fuck home *clap* clap* *clap clap clap*. Steve just stands in the middle of the ring as the crowd boo and berate him.}
Terri Morasco: Sold out crowd here telling Steve Awesome how they feel about him.
Vasco Dias: This crowd is really disrespectful!
Steve Awesome: You know, the longer you boo me and chant like that, the longer Iām going to stay out here. So really you are just playing yourself. Ha.
{The crowd boo him more but they let him talk.}
Steve Awesome: Two weeks ago on Sacrifice, Cable Arcane challenged me to a one on one match. But I could pick the stipulation! He wants to go one on one in a match with me. He wants to finally prove who really is the Best in the World, once and for all.
{The crowd start to hype up at the thought of Cable getting his revenge.}
Steve Awesome: I had to rack my brain, really think hard about the type of match I wanted to have. And then I realized it! The perfect match type, to finally prove once and for all who the better man is. I already beat him in a ring, now...I want to meet him on his turf. I want to settle this once and for all, and I want to do it in a way that makes damn sure that Cable canāt have any excuses afterward.
{Steve Awesome finds the main camera and he looks right into it.}
Steve Awesome: Cable, I want to beat you in an MMA Cage! Forget suplexes, forget back breakers, weāve come way too far to settle it like that. Now... I just want to beat the fucking shit out of you!
{The crowd oohs at the language and it doesnāt take long before āLong Live the Chief" by Jidenna hits the speakers and Cable Arcane steps onto the stage.}
Terri Morasco: Oh boy! Business is about to pick up here! Steve Awesome has just challenged Cable to a fight at Lineage, thatās not a smart thing to do!
Vasco Dias: Steve knows exactly what heās doing.
{Cable steps into the ring as the sold out crowd chant his name. Steve and Cable stand nose to nose for a few moments before Cable steps back and gets his own microphone.}
Cable Arcane: Well Steveā¦.I accept!
{BLAM! Cable bashes Steve with the microphone and he stumbles back from the blow and Cable rushes in with knees and strikes to the head and body of Steve Awesome as the crowd blows up!}
Terri Morasco: OH MY!!! Cable just accepted Steveās stipulation, an actual MMA Fight! At Lineage! And this thing exploded already!
Vasco Dias: These two hate each other Terri. They werenāt even in the ring together for two minutes before this huge brawl!
Terri Morasco: Send security out hereā¦.shortly.
{Cable Arcane is still pounding and clubbing the neck and shoulders of Steve Awesome when Steve manages to rake the eyes of Arcane and Steve follows it up with a thrusting kick to the knee that forces Cable into a kneeling position. Cable winces in pain and Steve lines him up for a right hand. He does a few boxing shuffles and winds up the fist. He lets it rip and Cable blocks it and pops up to his feet and nails Steve with a spinning backfist that sends Steve stumbling back out of the ring on wobbly legs!}
Terri Morasco: Steve felt that one.
Vasco Dias: Look our Steve!
{Cable runs out after him and they both collide into each other with fists flying. Security comes running out to finally separate them!}
Terri Morasco: Well itās going to be Steve Awesome verse Cable Arcane in an mma Cage match at Lineage!
Vasco Dias: You donāt want to miss that!
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHBest of five series 3
Pax Stromcrow v Nighthawk------------------------------------
Alison Valance: āThis next contest is match #3 in the best of 5 series.ā
{The lights in the arena dim, and there is the sound of a powerup collected in an old video game system. At the sound, the crowd leap to their feet with cheers. A beat is laid out, filling the arena with the sounds of a Midi file. The lights pulse in time with the music. As they flash as the beat trembles, an explosion of sparks rocks the entrance stage. Pax runs out, shouting at the crowd to hype them up as the chanting on Suplex by A Tribe Called Red kicks in.
He jumps in place at the entrance ramp, before making his way down to the arena. He slaps hands with fans, especially taking the time to pay attention to a kid or two on the way down to the ring. He slides under the ropes and rolls to his feet, circling the ring as he shouts to the crowd with a giant smile on his face.}Alison Valance: āIntroducing first, weighing in at 249 pounds, from Aitken, Minnesota please welcome Pax Stormcrow!ā
{As the ring announcer moves to a neutral corner the lights in the sold-out arena dim for just a moment as the opening strains of "I Remember (Bakusho Sengen Intro)" by Tristam boom out over the sound speakers, as Nighthawk walks to the ring confidently shaking hands with the crowd as he does so. Climbing up on the outside of the 2nd and 3rd turnbuckles the "Wrestling Machine" exhorts the crowd to make more and more noise before climbing into the ring and submitting himself to be checked out by the referee.}
Alison Valance: āAnd his opponent, weighing in at 185 pounds, from the fighting city of Chicago, Illinoisā¦. āThe Master of 1000 Holdsāā¦. āThe Wrestling Machineā Nighthawk!ā
{As the referee rings the bell to start the match Pax and Nighthawk shake hands with each other, albeit with more tension than there was in the 1st and 2nd meetings, before they quickly go into a collar-and-elbow lockup where Pax uses his power and muscle mass advantage to execute a standing switch, quickly locking in a tight full nelson as he tries to wear down his smaller opponent and possibly even set him up for a suplex should the opening appear. As the referee moves over to see if he wants to quit Nighthawk quickly works on trying to escape the hold by rapidly lifting his legs up to his chest to escape the full nelson before stepping right out of it with the ease of someone slipping off a pair of pants. Quickly moving to a standing knucklelock both men jockey for position for a moment before Pax releases his hands and quickly shoots in with an attempt at a single-leg takedown which he doggedly holds on to before converting the single-leg into a high crotch lift and getting the takedown attempt he wanted originally, landing almost smoothly in a lateral press as the āAmerican Samuraiā tries to keep his shoulders off of the mat while Pax looks to force him down. Finally using his power advantage to pass through into the lateral press he wanted originally Nighthawk is forced to kick out the count of 2 before trying to scramble to get to the ropes only for Pax to see that and lock in a lying waistlock right through into a massive Karelin lift. Scrambling desperately to try and get out of this the āWrestling Machineā desperately claws at the singlet of Pax but canāt do anything about this and is simply slammed hard to the mat which clearly knocks him out, allowing Pax to float through into a cover that gets the three-count.} ------------------------------------
SEGMENTGo Beyond Plus Ultra!------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Ladies and Gentleman, It is my displeasure to announce that the next segment on the show will be taken up by our former broadcast collogue, and former Alumni Trent Helms.
Terri Morasco: Who made his return at Bloody Arizes, quickly dispatching Giberg and leaving discouraging remarks towards IWF.
Vasco Dias: What we know about the situlation, It was a tryout match for Trent who got a even bigger head then he is already known for. He is not even a member of the IWF Roster, and has made ridious terms in contract negiolations.
Terri Morasco: I mean Ridicous. His own private locker room. The creation of his own championship to be gifted to him, and the rights that every match he competes in will be under whatever stipulation he can conjure.
Vasco Dias: Hopefully Roberto has decided to decline all his terms, and this will be the last we see of him, before his unsanctioned match against Spike Kane three weeks from now in his home country.
{The Powerful Voice of All-Might, from My Hero Academia echos thru the arena}I AM HERE!!!{A Instrumental version of My Heart Will Go On made Famous by Celine Dion begins to play as metal tubes begin to ascend from the barricades, as the music continues to play, The tubes activate as water sprinkles up into the air, and smoke shoots out from the entrance ramp, A Mechanical Float that looks like a boat begins to slide down the Isle, as Trent is seen hanging from a railing from the float, doing the king of the world pose}Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go onTrent hasnāt changed his pose, as the fans just donāt know how to respond this to. The Float continues to guide down the ramp, The water splashing against his face with his eyes still closed, as the powerful vocals of Celine Dion continue to guide him down the ramp.Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
{The Float reaches the ringside area, as the lighting lightens up just a little bit, revealing him wearing a Rainbow Dash Backpack, as the height of the float allows him to effortlessly allow him to stand on the top ring rope, balancing himself with such grace, as it almost seems like he is sliding across the top rope, before standing on the top turnbuckle, as he spreads his arms out, as Celine gets to the powerful chorus}Near, Far, Wherever you are!{Golden Pyro begins to descend from the top of the arena, falling onto Trent, letting the soothing sounds of the muiti-time grammy winner propel him}I believe that the heart does go on.{Trent opens his eyes, and descends to the ring, standing directly in the middle of it, The lights go completely dark for several seconds, as the pyro stops for the moment}Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on{The lights finally turn back on and Trent is standing in the middle of the ring, with his classic smirk on his face, as to say. I told you I would have the most outrageous entrance}Vasco Dias: What in the hell was that?
Terri Morasco: Thatā¦.That was the most elegant and beautiful entrance I have ever seen.
{The fans begin to have dueling chants of What the Hell, and That Was Awesome}
{Trent pulls the My Little Pony Backpack off his back, and sits it down in front of him, Kneeling down to one knee, to reach into the bag, and produces his own custom made microphone}Trent Helms: Good Evening Ningens.
Vasco Dias: How is he not being censored, He just called everyone Ni..
Terri Morasco: Calm Down Vasco, from what I understand it means Human, or Earthling.
Trent Helms: So the world has been wanting to know, for the past two weeks, What exactly are you doing here? Are youāve done for three weeks since returning was Troll people on twitter, and refuse to sign a normal contract with this promotion, while getting into a war with the world champion and make your own terms when it comes to signing here.
Terri Morasco: Well you canāt just demand the type of things you want, This is largest fighting company in the world. People are lining up at a chance to be here, and you have this washed up person who last I remembered died, wanting his own title, and demanding the owner of this company wear a Banana Hammock to personal meeting with him.
Trent Helms: So when I recently returned from the otherworld. Yes I can do that.
{Trent pauses as the fans donāt seem to believe his story}Trent Helms: Oh My, Donāt even act like that is the weirdest thing you have ever heard, I mean you got by my count, three people who consider themselves God. A Goth girl with a biting fetish, a guy who wears entirely way too much eyeliner and summons Panthers to maul people on television, and your World Champion who superpower is starting a sentence off with a F Word. So donāt you tell me, You donāt believe a being, who comes from another planet, canāt come back to life.
Vasco Dias: Of course, classic Trent, completely going off-course. I really hope this is the last of him. Iām sure he is going to say goodbye, and we can get back to what really matters, Wrestling.
Terri Morasco: You do forget that besides his antics, He is a very skilled combatant, who uses agility and deception the likes that we havenāt seen in this business.
Vasco Dias: But does he know how to do a good old fashion Arm-Bar?
{Trent continues to remain kneel down on one knee}Trent Helms: So, back to the matter at hand. All I see when I turn on my television every Wednesday Night, is a bunch of oversexed, testerone fueled, angry primates, parading around doing whatever they wantā¦And thatās just the Diamond Division. There is no variety, there is no charisma, just a bunch of mindless drones, beating there chests, being angry, and not bringing anything new to the table.
{Trent Smiles}Trent Helms: Quite Frankly I was bored, It like watching one of those Fifty Shades movies, You know the movie that is all about bondage and pushing the extremes of the human body, Yet all we get is boring, complacent missionary. Thatās what IWF has became, Nothing but a black void that is quickly becoming paint by numbers, where the only color is Black. Seriously, when did this place become the DC Universe?
Vasco Dias: But the numbers donāt lie, IWF is as hot as ever. The Brutality is at a all time high.
Terri Morasco: He does have a bit of a point.
Trent Helms: Even the powers that be, have noticed this. When this promotion has been tormented week in and week out by a never ending war between the Pack and whatever group Spike Kane decides to create every third week because we all know, that is a classic Spike Kane trope to create new groups, almost as much as he randomly has new children and a new wife. But things need to change, things need to be shaken up. IWF needs Color added into it. It needs someone who brings a refreshing change. Quite franklyā¦
{Trent Smiles and laughs}Trent Helms: It needs meā¦Look at the history of this sport, and more importantly look at my history. I have always been a Pioneer, a trend setter. When Pro Wrestling was just a bunch of sweaty men, gripping and throwing someone around in there tightly whiteys, I came along. I bought the Junior style to the United States and made it mainstream. When Pro Wrestling was about just hitting people with blunt objects like the primates that you evolved from, I was having clinics that were being praised. And when a former company, in its training wheels, needed a star that broke the mold and create catchphrases like it was the new style, It came to me, which is why they came calling to me. To change the culture, to bring a new life into this company that has became complacement with more complicated and hard to follow storylines then the X-Men timelines. IWF needs me, and I knew it, which is why I made the demands I wanted. I knew you primates would be beating your stones together, trying to make Fire while grunting and snarling on this blue and green sphere you call a earth. If IWF wanted me, it was going to have to play ball.
Vasco Dias: And here it comes, where they turned him down.
Trent Helms: Well guess whatā¦I am here to make two announcements, the first is that a reasonable amount of my terms were met and I am the newest member of the company.
Vasco Dias: Well he said a reasonable amount, itās not like they are officially sanctioning him a championship of something.
Terri Morasco: Heās reaching into his bag!
{Trent reaches into his backpack and pulls up a purple tinted championship belt}Vasco Dias: Son of a Bitch!
Trent Helms: And to officially announce the birth of the newest, and most prestigious championship this company will ever see. The Beyond Plus Ultra Championship. Like many I had a vision, a vision of a wrestler who will go to any lengths to prove himself to be the very best, someone who is willing to fight for what they truly believe in. This belt is everything I believe in. Being willing to put yourself thru any test. As the Creator of this championship and itās inaugural champion I will put that too the test, And starting next week, One of your primates will get the chance to take this from me. Itās not going to be easy, and to prove that you can take this from me will mean that youāre willing to put not only your body, but your mind and soul to the limit. So who will it be, which one of your mammals, believe you have what it takes to go BEYOND PLUS ULTRA!
{My Heart will Go on by Celine Dion plays as Trent holds his championship above his head}Vasco Dias: How could Roberto give that man power? What was he thinking?
Terri Morasco: No Idea, but we will have our main event next after this commercial break, once they can get that thing Trent came out on, out of here.
{Commercial Break}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHSteve Awesome v Spike Kane------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: We are back, and ready for our main event, and quite frankly, I never believed I would say this, but Iām ready to get the show over with.
Terri Morasco: Are you not ready for the main event or is it because-
?: Ahem
Terri Morasco: Or is it because we are joined here at the announce table by our former announce colleague and newly official signee to IWF, Trent Helms
Vasco Dias: This is already becoming a nightmare.
Trent Helms: Thatās right Ningens, the best announcer in Universe 7 has finally arrived and for the first time in 5 Years, the original announce team is back together. Are you ready for some Bearhugs in this match, that clearly we wonāt be seeing.
{Vasco just simply growls and grumbles to himself as all the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting a 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.}
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 sprays behind him.}
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome is looking to get back to his winning ways, last week against Ethan King.
Trent Helms: Who if I remember correctly, is now running with Andrew Jacobsen?
Vasco Dias: That would be correct.
Trent Helms: I wonder what Jacobsen's father thinks about that, too bad I canāt get a comment from Steve to ask him.
Terri Morasco: Steve isnāt Jacobsen father.
Vasco Dias: Donāt even bring that up.
Trent Helms: First off, I say whatever I want, Twoā¦.One doesnāt simply lose a Whoās your daddy match, and not instantly become their son.
{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.}
āBROTHERS! MY BROTHERS!
Is this all what we are?
SISTERS! MY SISTERS!
Weāve been crushed by the fists of GOD!!!ā
{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.}
Vasco Dias: There he is, Our World Champion. The Hall of Famer, and the greatest wrestler perhaps on Planet Earth.
Trent Helms: Oh, greatest wrestler on Earth, Not that big of a compliment from a bunch of ape descendants.
Terri Morasco: He is the World Champion.
Trent Helms: Yeah, Well I have a championship that goes beyond that.
Vasco Dias: That is seriously the ugliest championship Iāve ever seen.
{Both Steve and Spike stand in the corners, Awesome is just smirking, still with his sunglasses on leaning against the turnbuckle, Spike is kneeling down in the corner, with his IWF Championship thrown over his shoulder}
Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentleman, This is your main event of the evening, and is scheduled for one fall
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alison Valance: First in this corner, From Detriot, Michigan, Standing Six Feet, Two inches tall, Weighing in tonight at Two Hundred and Fourty One Pounds, He is Face of the Franchiseā¦..This Is STEVE AWESOME!
{There is a loud ovation for Steve, as he smirks and lifts his arm up in the air as Alison says his name}
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome has proven time and time again, he can bounce back from losses with the best of them.
Trent Helms: But will he be able to bounce back and eventually become a champion again, This Steve isnāt quite as motivated as the Steve I once knew.
Vasco Dias: Like he will even claim to know you, you stupid (beep)ā¦ā¦wait I didnāt even say a curse word, why am I being censored? When does IWF even have censors?
Trent Helms: {Chuckling to himself} Contract Term Number 4 Vasco!
Alison Valance: And His Opponent, standing in the opposite corner. Originally from Ireland, He now hails from Boston, Massachuetts. Standing Six feet, Two Inches Tall, Weighing in tonight at Two Hundred and Fourty five pounds, He is the Reigning IWF Champion, This is Spike Kane!
Trent Helms: Twenty One more days Spike, just twenty one more days till in my glorious country of Canada, do I get to crush you, and show that you should of kept your filthy mouth shut.
Terri Morasco: We have to try to stay impartial Trent.
Vasco Dias: Come on Terri, You know he canāt do that.
Trent Helms: Oh Yes I can, Spike Kane the wrestler, Iām a big fan of, Michael Kane the person, isnāt too bad. Spike Kane the obsessive idiot who somehow thinks Iām ever going to back downā¦Well Mehā¦.Not a Big Fan.
{The Bell ring, as both men come out of the corner, Spike immediately tries to go for a big right hand, but Awesome ducks under it, and attempts a waist lock. Spike puts a stop to that immediately with a back elbow that sends spit flying from Steveās mouth. Spike goes for a waist lock of his own, but Awesome drops down and flips him over with a Arm Drag, and throws himself down into a cover
Oneā¦
Spike throws Steve off, and immediately trips Steve and throws himself down into a cover
Oneā¦
Steve shoots up, and goes for a roundhouse kick that misses as Spike ducks down, before sliding behind and catching Awesome with a School Boy
Oneā¦
Awesome kicks out, rolls to this feet and leaps over Spike and catches him with a Sunset Flip as he cradles the legs.
Oneā¦
Both men get to there knees as Spike smiles and Steve just simply smirk and smacks his gum loudly as the fan give them a round of applause}Terri Morasco: Lots of pinfall attempts Early.
Vasco Dias: But No victory or even a advantage for either.
Trent Helms: There are only two people known to man who could of pulled a victory in that exchange, Myself and Kyle Braddock
Vasco Dias: Trentā¦We only use stage names here, Youāve already broken that rule twice tonight.
Trent Helms: I wasnāt consulted when that rule was made!
{Awesome and Spike give each other a slight nudge, before they lock up, Awesome nails a knee to the stomach and grabs the long hair of Spike and powers him to the corner, before hitting a Knife-Edge Chop to the tattooed chest of Spike}
Trent Helms: Oh Man, Spike is going to wish he had that fourty pounds he used to have when he got fat the one time.
Vasco Dias: Spike was never fat.
Trent Helms: He weighs Thirty pounds more then me, That is fat.
Terri Morasco: He is also like Six inches taller.
Trent Helms: Not where it matters the mostā¦.In the Pan..
Vasco Dias: I seriously canāt even right now!
{Awesome nails another chop to the chest, but this time, it only fires Spike up. Awesome nails one more, until Spike grabs him and switches positions, hitting a chop himself, followed by a kick to the stomach, another chop, a headbutt, as Awesome is quickly becoming overwhelmed. Steve tries to remain standing but another kick to the gut cancels that out, as Steve slumps over as Spike begins to lay into him with boots to the chest and face}
Terri Morasco: Spike is now taking the advantage.
Vasco Dias: It may not be good old fashioned wrestling, but there is something about watching the striking ability of Spike Kane.
Trent Helms: Speaking of Old Fashionedā¦I would like to getā¦
Terri Morasco: The IWF World Champion in the ring, can we focus on that, and instead of getting yourself over with one liners?
Trent Helms: Iām already over.
Vasco Dias: Not in the win and loss department.
Trent Helms: When does that matter? Dean Harper just lost to James Gilmore two weeks ago, who accounting to people on twitter is like the worst, well with the exception of a guy I know named Rob, He is the worst and Dean was just granted a Main Event World title match at the pay per view in a few weeks.
{The official has to get Spike to back up, who atleast does as he is told. Awesome tries to pull himself up, as Spike comes back, charging full speed ahead. Steve throws his feet up, but Spike catches them and throws them sending Steve over the top rope, and landing on the apron, He still lands on his feet, as Spike comes in, but Awesome grabs the arm of the World Champion and jumps off the apron, dragging Spikes arm and shoulder across the top rope}
Trent Helms: Look at that agilityā¦ahem I mean itās impressive for a Ningen and all that.
Vasco Dias: Agility or not, the real story is here is that he dragged Spikes arm over that rope, and thoses ropes, are heavy duty cables meant to holds tons, they donāt give.
Trent Helms: But a nearly forty year old man Shoulder will!
Terri Morasco: Arenāt you close to forty?
Trent Helms: Forty is the new twenty!
{Spike lets out a groan, as he holds his shoulder, Steve smiles for a moment, The God of Xtreme isnāt one to ever show weakness comes in with a big hook with his non dominant hand, but as he isnāt a good with that one, is blocked by Awesome, who returns it, Awesome gains the advantage, nailing another punch, backing Spike off the ropes. The Champion goes for a Lariat but Steve ducks under, grabbing Spike. It looks as if Steve is struggling lifting Spike, but it ends up being by design as he drops Spike shoulder first into the ring ropes, before rotating and hitting a Back Suplex! Steve goes for a cover, making a point to put the weight of his arms on Spikes shoulder}
One!
Two!
{Spike manages to Kickout, Awesome pulls Spike up but hits a punch to the stomach of Steve, followed by another, Awesome tries to halt the assault by throwing a kick but Spike just catches it, Awesome throws a couple of shots, then swings the leg at Spike for a Enzuguri, but Spike sees it coming as Awesome falls to the mat, Spike then charges down, mounting Steve from behind, laying in heavy shots, It seems already that Awesome finding a weakness in this match, have made Spike furious, as Kane continues to lay in shots to the back of the head. The referee asks him to stop, but unlike earier Spike doesnāt stop, as the referee has to step in}
Terri Morasco: Spike is just using heavy shots, thankfully they are to the back of the head, and not to Steveās face.
Vasco Dias: Itās actually worst getting hit there.
Trent Helms: Spike really needs to calm his tits right now. This isnāt a extreme rules match or anything or the sort. Spike lost last week, he canāt afford to lose any more momentum going into a title match.
Vasco Dias: Outside of the stray comment, that was insightful Trent.
Trent Helms: As soon as he clears and he isnāt looking, Hit him in the balls Steve!
Terri Morasco: There we go!
Trent Helms: We donāt need no more kids running around with a lot of hyphens in there names. Iām really not looking forward to seeing Faith Kane-Freeman-McFly-Gardner-Rodgers-Cromartie in a IWF ring anytime soon!
{Spike lets out a Battle Cry, but soon the adrenaline wears off, as he returns to a more normal state, as he rubs his shoulder, Awesome clinches his head in pain, as Spike sits down in the corner, just staring down Awesome, before pulling himself up with one arm, and stands back against the turnbuckle, Awesome stands up as Spike comes thundering in with the Bloody Sunday but Steve manages to get out of the way by sliding outside the ring}
Vasco Dias: Fans, we have to take a commercial break, but we will return for our main event.
Trent Helms: While youāre waiting, visit my youtube channel Helmsphere630 and make sure you smash that like button.
{Commercial Break}
Vasco Dias: Ladies and Gentleman and we are back.
Trent Helms: And Boy did you miss some crazy stuff. Spike Kane totally hit a three flip ThunderStruck off the empire state building thru a Chick-Fil-A Resturant, and Awesome still kicked out!
Terri Morasco: Fans I apologize, while a feat if that were the case, But itās not.
Vasco Dias: During the Break this did actually happen.
{Both Spike and Steve are on the outside of the ring, when Spike dives off the apron, but Awesome ends up sidestepping the attack, controlling how Spike landed by making sure his shoulder went into the ringside Barricade}
Vasco Dias: Since that moment, Steve has been in control of this match.
Trent Helms: And Awesome is the best there is at pin pointing a weakness and exposing it. Believe me I know. I still feel the pain everytime I go on, well a certain type of website. The lingering pain in my wrist is the worst.
Terri Morasco: Yuck, Gross!
Vasco Dias: Trent does make a point, You can imagine Dean Harper is watching this very closely, He is noticing how Spike is reacting every single time has to use that arm.
{Awesome has Spike locked in a armbar, before standing up and kicking the shoulder. Spike is not wanting to show weakness, stands up and not wanting this go on, Hits a sick shot to the gut, Steve wasnāt prepared for it, and falls to the ground, and tries to stumble up, as the crowd pops knowing what is coming}
Terri Morasco: Spike going for the ThunderStruck!
Vasco Dias: Heās going to show he can beat anyone, at any time out of nowhere!
Trent Helms: Stupid Primates, Itās a trap!
Terri Morasco: What?
{Spike waits for the exact moment for Steve to stand up, and hits another kick for good measure and grabs Steve head, he got it hooked and is dropping down, when Suddenly Awesome swings his arms, putting one around Spikes next, and grabbing the hurt am with the other and yanks Spike back with a Crossface Chickenwing!}
Trent Helms: Told you. I knew the moment Steve went down to the knee, knowing what Spike was going for, He was setting up for this move, and there are very few submission holds who put that kind of Torque on a shoulder like the Awesome Lock!
Vasco Dias: Wow, itās hard to believe something intelligent can come out of your mouth.
Terri Morasco: If Spike even manages to get out of this, the damage will be done, I can imagine Dean could be ready to cash in immediately!
Trent Helms: That would be foolish Ningen. Harper has already got what he wanted without even using that briefcase. Even if Spike manages to get by in the Dragon Den match, which I not sure beating Spike inside of it, is even his main objective. That Harper guy is basically playing the long game and if I didnāt have a championship that means more to me, then that IWF Title. I would be pissed.
Vasco Dias: As if you will even stick around long enough to sniff that championship.
Terri Morasco: Did you just imply that you actually think Trent is talented.
Vasco Dias: ā¦
{Awesome pulls Spike back, who is fighting the hold, Awesome is trying to wrap his legs around Spike, but Spike is swinging his head back like crazy and manages to hit a headbutt to the bridge of the noses of Awesome of desperation, which causes Blood to begin to flow down Awesomeās face, as he finally wraps his legs Spikeās waist and torques back on the shoulder as the God of Xtreme is in serious amount of pain}
Vasco Dias: This is the type of action I love, Holds and Brutality.
Trent Helms: I figured you would, Did you know I created the Crossface Chickenwing?
Terri Morasco: You didnāt.
Trent Helms: Maybe not that one, but I created the perfect Chicken Sandwich named the Crossface Chickenwing, you know what it goes good with?
Terri Morasco: What?
Trent Helms: TAP WATER and Spike is going to have to turn that fluset on, and Tap out, Then we get to see the waterworks.
{Spike is screaming in pain, as tough as he is, even all beings, be deities or not do have limits, and Awesome is ripping at that shoulder with the Awesome Lock, Spike tries to reach out with his other hand, and begins fighting towards the ropes, He is very close to them, but pulls his hand back}
Vasco Dias: Why didnāt Spike grab the ropes?
Terri Morasco: He literally had them.
Trent Helms: Stupid Prideful Primate, really trying to prove he is a god.
Vasco Dias: What do you mean.
Trent Helms: Spike letting his pride get in the way. Yes he could of broken the hold with a rope break, but he considers himself above everyone else, and he wants to do this, and show how great he isā¦.Steve doesnāt see it. He distracted by keeping that hand away from the ropes, He doesnāt see that Spike is using his legs, and here it comes
Terri Morasco: What are you even talking about?
{Spike uses all the muscles in his legs and pushes himself up and rolling over Awesome, it puts more pressure on the hold but Spike has Steve in a pinning position}
Oneā¦.
Twoā¦.
{Awesome has to release the hold right at the very last moment so he can get his shoulder off the mat. Spike is rolling to his feet, with his arm almost looking dead, and hits the ropes as Steve gets up. BLOODY SUNDAY RIGHT TO THE MONEY MAKER OF STEVE AWESOME!}
Vasco Dias: How did you even call that one? Youāre just a stupid (ācensored due to Trent Helms term number 4) You make jokes, flip around, jump off things.
Terri Morasco: You seem to be getting heated Vasco.
Vasco Dias: No, When did he get to know this much about wrestling, He is a Youtube Star for crying out loud!
Trent Helms: Yes I am, but one with fifteen years of doing this, I fought the best the world has. I excel at jumping off things, and using my what most called a weirdness about me. But Wrestling isnāt about facing one style, itās about having to adapt. You can be extremely good at one things, but struggle in others. You could be a guy who knows every wrestling move known to man, and to know how to control the pace but you have to be ready for anything. Steve Awesome has leant this, Spike Kane has learnt this. Roberto Verona knows this, Even myself, and most of you primates consider me stupid, which humors me, considering how primitive your kind can be.
{Spike is down, but Awesome is completely out it seems, The fans give both men a hand of applause as Spike is trying to inch closer to cover Awesome, He manages to get his good arm barely across the chest}
Oneā¦.
Twoā¦
Three!
NO, KICKOUT!
{Spike pulls himself to a knee, as Awesome manages to roll over to stomach once more. Spike manages to pull himself to his feet, as he reaches down to , Awesome goes to grab the arm as he goes to roll Spike down to the mat, and tries to hook the arm for EFSH for Spike cradles him over}
Oneā¦
{Spike releases the pin and Pulls Awesome up, and drops him on his neck and back with a German Suplex! Spike lets out a yell Awesome holds his neck and goes for a clothline to stop the unslaught by Spike ducks and swings backwards hitting a Pele Kick to the forehead of Awesome!}
Trent Helms: GOAL!
Vasco Dias: The World Champion is finally picking up the momentum now, and when he gets like this, You canāt stop him.
{Awesome holds his forehead as Spike pulls him up and hooks him for a Suplex, He lifts Awesome up, but Awesome falls back down as Spike grips his shoulder in pain, Awesome then without waiting nails the Jawbreaker Superkick right to the JAW of Spike Kane!}
Trent Helms: There it is, the most over-used move in all of professional wrestling!
Terri Morasco: Maybe So, but Steve does it better then anyone!
{Spike stumbles to his feet, as Awesome hits the rope, and hits a Running Elbow right to the face, Spike goes down as Awesome hits another one sending Spike down again. Awesome lifts Spike up for a scoop slam by Spike kicks his legs and falls behind Awesome before dropping him with a Inverted DDT, Spike pulls both Awesome legs back into a pin!}
One!
Two!
Three!
No, Awesome kicks out
Vasco Dias: This is what IWF is all about!
Trent Helms: Even Iām moderately entertained!
Terri Morasco: The story here is that both men for the most part have been able to tell what the other is doing a few moves ahead and countering when the time presents itself.
Trent Helms: They may have to pull new moves, or even go back to moves they long since forgotten about!
{Spike looks a bit annoyed which well, isnāt unusual for the World Champion, as he leans down towards Awesome before he catches his bearings and locks in ALL HOPE IS LOST! As Awesome screams in pain, and is directly in the middle of the ring.}
Vasco Dias: This one is over, Spike has that devasting Submission move locked in the middle of the ring, Awesome isnāt going to be able to hold out.
Terri Morasco: No man can withstand this hold for long, It causes tons of pain, but can even put a opponent to sleep, itās that deadly
Trent Helms: Awesome may not have to hold on for long, As painful as it is, with Spikeās shoulder being the way it is, He may not be able to keep it locked on for too long.
{Spike winches back on the hold and Awesome is fading fast, but Spike is clearly in pain, and determined to get the submission victory, He winches back as the official looks to see if Awesome is still awake, which he begins to shake his arm telling the official to back away, Spike winches back once again, and screams and loses the grip of the hold as his shoulder gives out}
Vasco Dias: How do you keep doing this, Youāre not exactly versed in Submissions.
Trent Helms: I may not be, Iām also not able to Military Press someone either, doesnāt mean I donāt know how they work.
{Spike looks frustrated, as he wanted the match to end right there. He looks down at Awesome, then rolls out onto the ring apron, He begins to climb the turnbuckle, but Steve is right there again already, as Spike gets caught before he could even forward himself towards the ring, Awesome grabs Spike, flipping him over as he hits hard with a Avalanche Reverse Suplex, but Steve is unable to go for the cover}
Trent Helms: Itās a shame Awesome canāt cover, That move is hard to pull off, and many donāt bother to attempt it, but when it happens, It can knock even a God out cold!
Vasco Dias: I still canāt believe this is still going.
Terri Morasco: Both men are known for there cardio and being able to take punishment, so Iām not surprised!
{Several moments have passed and Awesome sees that Spike is not moving at all, He doesnāt want to take the chance of Spike countering, so he leaves him be, as Awesome himself climbs to the top rope, He looks back to see Spike is still not moving.}
Trent Helms: What is Steve doing here? I donāt see him going there too often.
Vasco Dias: I donāt either, But what is this he is going for Terri?
Terri Morasco: Itās his Moonsault Double Foot Stomp!
Trent Helms: Moonsault Double Foot Stomp, That is so cool!
Terri Morasco: And he calls it The Wrath of the Dragon!
Trent Helms: That is even cooler. That is such a Awesome Dragonball Z Movie!
{Steve leaps off, as cameraās begin to flash as Steve doesnāt pull this move off too much anymore, yet besides that, He hit perfect form and his boot drive right into the mat, as Awesome stumbles and knee buckles as Spike rolled out of the way, Awesome tries to stand up but his knee buckles again, as Spike gets up. Awesome tries to power up towards Spike with great speed but his knee slows him down, as he stumbles right into the Thunderstruck!}
Vasco Dias: Spike catches him with it!
{Spike stumbles for the cover, and hooks the leg}
One!
Two!
Three!
{Crushed by Parkway Drive begins to play as Spike falls to the mat himself, exhausted and fatigued as the official raises his hand as he lays on his back}
Trent Helms: I will give both Primates Credit, they put on a good show.
Terri Morasco: Good? That was Amazing!
Vasco Dias: Better take notes Mister Helms, I see a Thunderstruck in your future when he head to Vancouver in a few weeks.
Trent Helms: Oh, Trust me Vasco, The match you seen tonight will be nothing like what I have in store for Spike.
{Spike has finally gotten to his feet, as he clutches his IWF Championship, as he climbs the turnbuckle, At the announce table you see Trent Helms drop his headset, and walks to the front of the announce table, Spike simply flips him off, ignoring Trent's threats as the show closes on Spike holding the belt.}
?: Ahem
Well howdy there pardner.
