SINGLES MATCHThaddeus Bancroft v Warren Kane
------------------------------------
Allison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: We have an interesting match up here tonight. We have Thaddeus versus Warren Kane from The Pack.
Vasco Dias: I canāt imagine this is going to end well. I can just feel it in my bones.
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}"UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Allison Valance: First down to the ring standing at 6ā1āā and weighing 205 poundsā¦.Warren Kane!
Terri Morasco: We havenāt seen much from Warren since he joined The Pack. Heās been in some tag team matches with Caleb Lockwood but we havenāt seen him solo.
Vasco Dias: Itāll be interesting to see him try to hold his own in a match like this.
{The lights dim as the pipes of "The British Grenadiers" hits the arena speakers and then from the rafters comes swinging Thaddeus and Harriet, Thaddeus dressed in a long coat, top hat and flying a Union Jack umbrella as he laughs brightly moving for the ring, he takes a moment to regale his subjects, wiping his feet on the apron as Harriet holds the ropes open as the pair walk the ring and be smug}Allison Valance: Last down to the ring, standing at 6ā3āā and weighing in at 230 poundsā¦ Captain Thaddeus Isambard Bancroft!
Terri Morasco: Thaddeus has certainly made an impression here. He was in The Joker in the Pack match and is among the 2018 Heir to the Throne class.
Vasco Dias: Heās a sure winner if I ever saw one.
{Warren stands in his corner, watching Thaddeus who is discussing things casually with Harriet before the bell rings.}Terri Morasco: How do you think tonightās match is going to go down, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Hard to say. Thaddeus clearly has the advantage here, being a time traveler but you canāt undersell that Kane temper and the things The Pack does.
{As soon as the bell rings Warren launches out of his corner with a pele kick to Thaddeus. Thaddeus falls back slightly. Warren hits him with a snapmare.}Terri Morasco: You have to wonder how things are going to play out here.
Vasco Dias: Both of these men want to win here. Different reasons but both seem pretty driven about it.
{Warren grips Thaddeus and his him with a Tilt-a-whirl Back Breaker and goes for the pin.

{Thaddeus hits Warren in the head with an elbow strike, knocking Warren back.}Terri Morasco: Thaddeus trying to get a come back here.
Vasco Dias: He might have it in him to defeat Warren here.

Vasco Dias: Itās good form from Captain Thaddeus. Heās always got good form.
{Thaddeus goes for the pin
1
KICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: I see Thaddeus is trying to play Warrenās games here.
Vasco Dias: He said he wanted to incite that famous Kane temper. Why is beyond me.
{Thaddeus hits Warren with a scoop slam and then an elbow drop.}Terri Morasco: Still going strong for Thaddeus here. He might just end this soon.
Vasco Dias: Donāt get your hopes up, Terri.
{Thaddeus grabs Warren by his short hair and lifts him up with a Flag Plant, complete with a foot on Warrenās chest.

Warren manages to kick Thaddeus to knock him off, which Thaddeus flops off him.}Terri Morasco: Thatāsā¦flexible of Warren. I wonderā¦
Vasco Dias: Donāt think about that, Terri.
Terri Morasco: What? Iām not allowed to comment on it?
Vasco Dias: Do you want to get kidnapped? Stop talking about it.
{Warren gets up and hits Thaddeus with a short arm clothesline, knocking the man back onto the mat. Warren backs off slightly before hitting Thaddeus with a running knee.}Terri Morasco: I think we are seeing some of that Kane temper here.
Vasco Dias: Thaddeus said he wanted it.
{Warren hits Thaddeus with a 'Splosion.}Terri Morasco: Ouch.
Vasco Dias: Thaddeus has taken a bit of a beating here but so has Warren.
{Warren goes for the pin

KICK OUT!}Terri Morasco: Thaddeus not going down yet.
Vasco Dias: Which might just piss Warren off more.
{Warren is clearly frustrated, and he grabs Thaddeus and puts him, through a swinging neck breaker.}Terri Morasco: Warren is not going easy on Thaddeus here.
Vasco Dias: I donāt envy the kind of pain Thaddeus must be in.
{Harriet starts making a fuzz from the sidelines, getting the refās attention. While the ref is distracted, Thaddeus hits Warren with an eye poke.}Terri Morasco: THATāS CHEATING!
Vasco Dias: The only unfair fight is the one you lose, Terri.
{Thaddeus hits Warren with an armdrag tossing Warren into the turnbuckle.}Terri Morasco: Ow, I could hear that from here.
Vasco Dias: Warrenās taken worse.
{Thaddeus drags Warren from the ropes in time for the ref to turn his attention back to the match.}Terri Morasco: How can the Ref be so distracted by Thaddeusā manager?
Vasco Dias: Have you seen her, Terri? I meanā¦
{With a bit of a smirk Thaddeus hits Warren with a back breaker.}Terri Morasco: Thaddeus clearly trying to focus on Warrenās back to take him out of this match.
Vasco Dias: Weāll see if this plan comes to flourishing
{Warren rolls away from Thadeus lifting himself up on the ropes, looking over at Thaddeus before launching into a Kitchen Sink, dropping Thaddeus down onto the mat.}Terri Morasco: Warren with a come back!
Vasco Dias: This will be interesting
{Warren backs off slightly, waiting for Thaddeus to get up.}Terri Morasco: What is he doing?
Vasco Dias: He wants to make sure Thaddeus knows he was beaten. He wants to make an example of him.
{Warren goes into a jumping knee hitting Thaddeus down.}Terri Morasco: Heās playing with his food again here.
Vasco Dias: But why go for it when you can make sure he stays down?
{With a Double Underhook DDT Warren hits Thaddeus down to the mat.}Terri Morasco: He could go for the pin at any time.
Vasco Dias: Heās making an example of Thaddeus here.
{Warren steps back, telling Thaddeus to get up.}Terri Morasco: Heās mocking him.
Vasco Dias: Heās showing Thaddeus his temper doesnāt distract him.
{Warren hits Thaddeus with a Enziguri and waits for Thaddeus to get up again.}Terri Morasco: This could back fireā¦.
Vasco Dias: It could but Warrenās temper might mean he wants to make this victory have an impact.
{Warren hits Thaddeus with another pele kick.}Terri Morasco: He really likes kicking Thaddeusā¦
Vasco Dias: Thaddeus did put a foot on his chest, Terri.
{ Warren hits Thaddeus with a quick Saving Grace.}Terri Morasco: Warren really is showing his all here
Vasco Dias: Itās not like Thaddeus isnāt putting his all into this match too.
{Thaddeus rolls away, trying to get a moment to catch his breath.}Terri Morasco: Thaddeus just needs a moment
Vasco Dias: He can come back from this but itās a question of if Warren letās him
{Warren grabs Thaddeus by the hair lifting him up, setting up and hits him with a implant DDT.}Vasco Dias: We might be coming to the end here.
{ Warren waits for Thaddeus to get up, Harriet lets out a yell, distracting the ref as Thaddeus hits Warren with a low blow and then goes for the ELEMENTARY!}Terri Morasco: He just low blowed Warren Kane!
Vasco Dias: Itās not like itās the first time Thaddeus has hit someone down there, Terri.
{The ref notices the pin and quickly slides over
1

3!}Terri Morasco: He cheated!
Vasco Dias: Itās not how you win, Terri but the fact that you win.
{Thaddeus takes a quick bow as "The British Grenadiers" plays over the PA system before sliding out of the ring to Harriet.}Terri Morasco: Heās running?
Vasco Dias: Would you want to stick around in the ring with a member of The Pack after winning?
{Warren sits up glaring daggers at Thaddeus who walks casually up the ramp with Harriet.}------------------------------------

Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentleman, The following contest is for the IWF Beyond Plus Ultra Championship!
{I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister begins to play, as Pyro begins to shoot from the rampway, followed by explosions emerging from the rampway}Vasco Dias: What is this, Is Gibberg finally getting an entrance for the first time ever in his IWF career?
Terri Morasco: He is a 'champion' now!
{Gibberg sprints thru the explosions and holds up the championship to a loud ovation}Alison Valance: Introducing from Syracuse, New York, He is the IWF Beyond Plus Ultra Champion, This is Gibberg!
Terri Morasco: So thatās where he is from, I never knew he was from New York.
{Gibberg begins to walk down to the ramp, as suddenly he is attacked from behind by Trent Helms, who ruins his championship entrance, As Gibberg falls to the ground, Trent pulls him up before tossing his head into the ring apron before tossing the Beyond Plus Ultra Championship in the ring}Vasco Dias: Damn It, That Trent Helms, He is literally the
{censored due to Trent Helms contract term number 4}_
Terri Morasco: This isnāt right at all. He could of at least let Gibberg enjoy what might have been his proudest moment.
{Trent tosses Gibberg into the ring, and removes his ring jacket, as he gets in the official face, and demands the bell be rung, However the official has to check on Gibberg, who is laid out cold, but is trying to stir, Gibberg finally gets up, but is unaware of where he is, He notices what is going on, and demands the bell ring, The official relunctly does so, as he charges for a Spear, but eats a Spinning Heel Kick right to the face by Trent Helms, knocking him out cold}Vasco Dias: I hate thisā¦Iām done, I canāt even do this.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENTJayson interviewed about God
------------------------------------
{Jayson is sitting in a chair opposite Rachel Grimes in a backstage interview.}
Rachel Grimes: Jayson, Youāve been fairly vocal on how you feel about the situation with God.
Jayson Matthews: I have. And at Lineage Iām going to face him for the Extreme championship. He took so much from me and Iām going to take the belt away from him.
Rachel Grimes:Youāre calling god out for this? Thereās a chance he wonāt accept ā
{There is static on the camera and rowan is standing next to Jayson with a hand on his shoulder.}
Rowan: Heāll accept.
Rachel Grimes: R-Rowan, I was not expecting you to be here.
{Jayson looks at Rowan whose eyes seem to smile.}
Rowan: If He faces his false son at Lineage I will give him the truth.
Rachel Grimes: Do you want to clarify what that means?
{Thereās static on the camera again and Jayson and Rowan are gone.}
Rachel Grimes:ā¦.I guess not.

SINGLES MATCHMike Laszlo v Roberto Verona
------------------------------------
{As the show comes back to the ringside area the sounds of "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 touted how huge of a match this is for him. He had some harsh words for Verona, and now he has the chance to back them up here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Iām torn here. On one hand, I like Mikeās attitude going in, but on the other hand, this is the boss, and I like my job.
Alison Valance: And now his opponentā¦
{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.}Terri Morasco: The boss claims that he knows the inmates are running the asylum and heās going to get his company back.
Vasco Dias: It does seem that way, but knowing this man as long as weāve all known him...Iād bet he has a plan.
{The two men stare across the ring at one another as Alexis leaves the ring. The bell rings as the two men step forward. Thereās a little bit of back and forth before the two lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Mike with a slight weight advantage manages to push Verona back into the corner, and the referee asks for a clean break and surprisingly he gets one. Mike backs into the center of the ring as Roberto tries to figure him out. Mike draws a line across the mat with the toe of his boot and eggs Verona on.}Terri Morasco: This is a little different than the aggressive Mike weāve seen the last couple of weeks.
Vasco Dias: Maybe itās a respect that he has for Verona after all of these years of knowing one another?
{Verona steps out and the two lock up again, but this time, Verona is able to get behind Mike and tries to take him down by the waist but Mike is able to hit a stiff elbow to the side of Veronaās head that stuns him a bit. Mike runs to the ropes and comes back looking for a Clothesline but Verona ducks and goes to sweep the legs out from under Mike, but Mike sees it coming and jumps up to avoid the sweep as Verona spins, both men staring at one another as the crowd applaud.}Terri Morasco: A healthy stalemate here.
Vasco Dias: And the crowd is eating it up.
{Verona slowly stands to a vertical position and the two men jaw back and forth again. Mike then pushes Verona who steps a few steps back from the impact with a smirk on his face, he shoves Mike right back. Mike goes for a right hand but Verona ducks it. Mike goes again for a shot and again Verona ducks, this time going under and heading toward the ropes rebounding to hit Mike with a Running Knee to the face that causes him to stumble back and through the ropes falling to the outside. Verona runs toward the ropes and hits Mike with a Baseball Slide, knocking him into the barricade on the outside before following him outside.}Vasco Dias: I donāt think Mike is safe on the floor like he may have thought.
Terri Morasco: It looks like that might be the right outlook Vasco.
{Verona grabs Mike by the head and slams his face off of the barricade causing him to stumble away as he tries to escape the onslaught. Verona grabs Mike by the arm and gets a little momentum before pulling him toward the steps, Mike though is able at the last second to jump over the second step, landing on his feet. Verona charges, leaping up on the second step and flying off, looking for another knee to Mikeās face, but Mike sidesteps him and on the landing, Verona takes a few steps forward and as he turns...SUPERKICK!}Terri Morasco: A kick heard around the world!
Vasco Dias: I think I saw a tooth flyā¦
{Mike sees the referee is up to four and rolls back in the ring, rolling right back out to break the count. Mike grabs Verona by the head and pulls him to his feet, rolling him into the ring where he scrambles in after him and goes for the first cover of the match but only gets a two count.}Terri Morasco: The time it took to break the count might have cost Mike there.
Vasco Dias: Iām sure it did, but itās also going to take a lot more than that to take out Roberto.
{Mike grabs Roberto and pulls him up, lifting him into the air, but unable to pull off a move as Roberto brings a knee down across the top of Mikeās head. Mike loosens his grip as Verona falls forward, stumbling back a bit before steadying himself and launching off a Superkick of his own, flooring Mike in the center of the ring.}Terri Morasco: SILENCER!
Vasco Dias: Talk about out of nowhereā¦
{Roberto goes for the cover, hooking one of Mikeās legs, but like himself prior, Mike gets the shoulder up at the count of two.}Terri Morasco: Both of these men have fired off some shots that might put normal men down.
Vasco Dias: Both have incredible determination though, and we might be in for a long night.
{Verona looks over his shoulder at Laszlo who is now on his stomach. He spins and pulls Mike to his feet, grabbing him by the head before hurling a vicious amount of torque into a Spinning Neckbreaker! Again he hooks the leg, but again only gets a two count. He claps at the ref who simply signals two. Again Verona is up and again he pulls Mike to his feet, hooking him up and attempting a Snap Suplex, but Mike blocks, hooking his leg around Veronaās. Roberto tries again, but again itās blocked, and this time, Mike brings a knee up into the gut of the boss and then repeats the process, firing a sick succession of knees into the gut at rapid fire speed before hooking both of Veronaās arms and flipping him up and over into the āWelcome to the C-L-Eā Double Underhook Backbreaker! He hooks the leg, yet again only gets a two count, much to his chagrin.}Terri Morasco: Another big move, and another kickout.
Vasco Dias: One of these two might have to kill the other to win.
{Itās now Mike with a bit of frustration, glaring over his shoulder. Verona is clutching at his back after the backbreaker as he rolls toward the ropes. Mike runs to the opposite side of the ring and hits Verona with a Basement Dropkick to the lower back that sends Verona sliding under the bottom rope, landing with a thud on the outside.}Terri Morasco: Mike may have created an opening here.
Vasco Dias: Yeah, the boss looks like heās in some pain.
{Mike rolls out of the ring himself, and pulling Verona up, drives him into the barricade, back first before lifting him and repeating the process into the apron of the ring as Roberto screams in obvious pain, again clutching at the back. Mike breaks the count again, rolling back out to Verona before whipping him into the steps, a loud metallic thud echoing throughout the arena as the steps dislodge from the force.}Terri Morasco: And just like that, the momentum has changed in this match.
Vasco Dias: Both of these men are savvy ring veterans.
{Mike grabs Roberto and rolls him into the ring again, again going for a cover, and again only getting a two count, though this one was a little closer than before. Thereās some visible frustration on the face of the Cleveland native who takes a deep breath before attempting to continue his assault. He pulls Verona up, but Verona breaks his grip and starts firing off a massive assault of strikes that culminates with a backfist that stuns Mike. Verona lifts him on his shoulders and goes to turn toward the center of the ring, looking for a modified TKO he calls the āIdes of Marchā, but the toll on his back shows as thereās a slight hesitation, allowing Mike to plant some elbows into Veronaās face. Mike then slides down his back and pops off a German Suplex WITH A BRIDGE!
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOOOOOOOOOO!}Terri Morasco: I thought he had him.
Vasco Dias: Inches away.
{Mike slaps the mat in frustration. He gets to his feet and looks around at the crowd before signaling for the end of the match! The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Mike taunts Verona to get to his feet. Mike then spins him around and lifts him up, looking for the Malicious Intent! Verona starts kicking his legs viciously, causing Mike to drop him. Roberto stumbles toward the corner, turning into it, and before Mike can fully be aware of whatās going on...VENI, VIDI, VICI!
Mike goes down and Verona crawls into the coverā¦
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner...ROBERTOOOOO VERONA!
{Robertoās music hits as Mike rolls out of the ring. Veronaās hand is raised as the victor.}Terri Morasco: I donāt think there was a loser here tonight as those two went toe to toe and put on a show.
Vasco Dias: A great performance indeed. I wouldnāt mind seeing it again.
{Verona continues to celebrate as we go to commercial.}------------------------------------
SEGMENTGilmore interviewed on his feelings about the Heir to the Throne chances?
------------------------------------
{We transition to the live Sacrifice feed and see Terri Morascoās smiling mug along with Vasco Dias...whoās munching from a small bag of buttered popcorn after enjoying the Laszlo-Verona match.}
Terri Morasco: Vasco, what ARE you doing?!
Vasco Dias: Munchinā on some popcorn--that last match was fun! The Heir to the Throne series just got hotter!
Terri Morasco: Yes indeed. You have guys like Roberto Verona that appear to be the odds-on favorite to win this tournament, BUT...there are those who have been flying under the radar as it were. One of those men is James Gilmore who, in spite of beating Dean Harper and Jayson Matthews in back-to-back weeks, has been relatively quiet and, thusly, not even mentioned as a potential X-factor in this series. This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of withstanding the South Texas heat and sit down with Gilmore during a fabulous sunset on his own private beach for a one-on-one interview about his unlikely start in Heir to the Throne. And what youāre about to see...is simply astounding.
{As an on-screen graphic reads āRECORDED JULY 21, 2018 + CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS,ā we transition to a wide shot of the City of Corpus Christi before fading to an exterior shot of the small beachhead behind James Gilmoreās villa. As waves from the Gulf of Mexico crash onto the sand under a setting sun, we see Terri Morasco and James Gilmore sitting on beach chairs just steps removed from the back deck, the latter also taking sips from a bottle of orange Gatorade.}
Terri Morasco: James Iāve done interviews in palatial mansions and modest houses, but this is one of the most unique places Iāve ever visited. Itās such a joy to be here in this setting, even if the heat does get oppressive this time of year.
James Gilmore: I appreciate that maāam, but the heatās just a small price for livinā in Texas most of my own life.
{Terri smiled, keeping the environment as laid back as possible.}
Terri Morasco: You called me āmaāamā instead of ādudetteā like some say you would do.
James Gilmore: Tryinā to keep the vibes as mellow as I can, especially given the scope of this Heir to the Throne thing.
Terri Morasco: Speaking of Heir to the Throne...youāve had probably the longest and toughest journey out of all the competitors in this yearās series; yet youāve managed to quietly undertake said journey and get off to an unlikely start. You beat Dean Harper and Jayson Matthews in back-to-back weeks to start things off, and youāve done this in spite of being relatively under the radar. How are you feeling now as you go forward in Heir to the Throne?
{James takes another sip from his drink.}
James Gilmore: When ya see all the other competitors on-camera and, save for one, nobody else gives ya a mention...it makes me feel very good about it ācuz I can simply step into the ring and not have to worry about tags or distractions. I gotta do what I gotta do ācuz, in my mind, I might be āunder the radarā but every single competitor in this series, given how competitive and unpredictable things are becominā now...they are on my radar. Guys like Verona, Laszlo, Xavier, or Jayson whoāve already established themselves; then ya got guys like Redcap, Malo, or Bancroft, who are tryinā to find their way into this tourney. Itās so competitive from top to bottom, thatās all I can say.
Terri Morasco: In spite of everything that has happened to you over the past few months, with Dean Harper taking your girlfriend or the return of your brother in your life, did you ever think that youād make it this far at this stage?
{James shakes his head before placing his Gatorade in a small cup holder.}
James Gilmore: I havenāt gotten very far in this tourney yet; Iāve still got a ways to go. All I can do is go out there and not allow myself to simply dwell upon Yulia or my brother ācuz thatās where mistakes will happen. I gotta keep on fightinā FOR them and all those whoāve been victimized in this darn power struggle on both sides, takinā things one step at a time, one round at a time, and keep on ridinā the wave.
Terri Morasco: āRiding the wave?ā
James Gilmore: āRide the Waveā--my alma materās slogan, but more importantly...my mantra. Itās a metaphor for another, more known, phrase ācarpe diem.ā I gotta get back in that ring and seize the moments ācuz they aināt gonna come again.
{Terri nodded as a gentle breeze blew in from the south-southwest.}
Terri Morasco: Two years ago you pulled out of Heir to the Throne citing personal differences. Last year you werenāt even in the series...so this year, what has changed in your mind as your approach the competition going forward?
James Gilmore: I used to be quite outspoken on Twitter as many already know, but seeinā the back and forth dog-pissinā between Spike and Dean makes me look back to my own stuff and realize that, perhaps, screaminā and shoutinā to get over just aināt gonna cut it. This sport is all about the breaks, good or bad; ya gotta learn to build on 'em, capitalizinā on the good while not makinā excuses if somethinā bad happens to ya. You play the game as if the scoreās nothinā-nothinā without holdinā nothinā back yet stayinā disciplined.
Terri Morasco: What would you say, in this new approach youāre using...about the breaks youāve gotten ever since you came into IWF--good or bad?
{James smiled as he took another swig from his Gatorade.}
James Gilmore: Iāve had a lot of bad breaks with some good ones thrown in, but ya know somethinā, to bum a phrase from Ron Washington...thatās the way wrestlinā go. Itās all I can say goinā forward, thereās no other way I can describe it.
Terri Morasco: Well James...thank you for being such a gracious host and good luck in the Heir to the Throneā¦

{The screen starts dark as the MUSIC begins to play softly, a slow acoustic guitar matched with relentless, slow beating drums and synth. In the background, a slow image of Spike Kane walking down the ramp fades lightly into view, eyes grim and determined as he strides forward.}
Spike Kane: Iā¦ am the God of Extreme.
{The music intensifies as the video swiftly shows a few brief flashes of Spikeās matches over the past year, showing the crazier spots in the heavier matches before cutting back to the slow motion walk down the smoky entrance ramp.}Spike Kane: Iā¦ am the Blood God.
{Another few shots of matches that got particularly heated, where blood is seen pouring down both Spikeās face and that of his opponent, culminating with a few particularly memorable uses of the Blood Godās Wrath.}Spike Kane: Thisā¦ is the Age of Gods.

Spike Kane: And NOBODYā¦ is ready to do what it will take to end it.
{The music abruptly cuts short as the video snaps to black, laughter echoing out through the arena... as Dean Harper walks through the shadows into view, clapping slowly.}
Dean Harper: Thatās what they all say.
{The video cuts to a series of shots of Dean Harper over the last year ā from his debut, to his turning on The Council during Heir to the Throne, to winning the Man of Steel Championship from Devlin Raine, licking Mason St. Croixās exposed skull, seeming to end Xavier Crossā careerā¦ to staring down Spike Kane himself, and emerging victorious. It then moves to a clip from the show following one of their earlier encountersā¦}Dean Harper: Where is your Blood God now?
{The music returns, powerful and driving, as lyrics begin to play over the next sequence of events.}
Johnny Cash:
You can run on for a long timeā¦ run on for a long timeā¦ run on for a long time, but sooner or later Godāll cut you down.
{The camera focuses first on their first showdown during the Extinction Event at Survival of the Fittest. Though the two never crossed blows during the match, the package highlights the tension between the two men as its clear that Harper wants to prove heās better than the God of Extremeā¦}Johnny Cash:
Go tell that long tongue liar. Go and tell that midnight rider. Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter ā tell āem that Godās gonna cut āem downā¦{The next shot is from early December, when Dean attacked Spike Kane with a baseball bat backstage, savagely beating Spike again and again, leaning down next to himā¦}Dean Harper: Iām making it my number one goal in life to tear your life apart, brick by brick. Youāre my new Xavier. My new Devlin. My new favorite chew toy.
{Dean dragged Spike up by the hair and whispers right into his ear.}Dean Harper: And Iām going to play with you until you canāt even squeak.

But as sure as God made black and white, what's down in the dark will be brought to the lightā¦{The next match shows Dean and Caleb fighting InFamous in the form of Spike and Steve Awesome.

You canāt beat me.
{We see Dean winning Joker in the Packā¦ and carrying that same briefcase with him as he appears to attack Spike Kane after the main event of Night of the Immortals, standing with The Pack during their return and their declaration of war against the Age of Gods.}
Dean Harper: Regardless of who you have on your side and who I have on mine. You lose. I win. Youāre an unfocused wreck.
Johnny Cash:

{Dean and Spike battling one another with singular hatred and ferocity during the Apocalypse Matchā¦ leading to Dean driving Spike down hard with the SCREAMING FROM THE SKY, pinning him with the help of Caleb and Warren to win the match.}

Cable Arcane: If you or your cult interfere in any of Spikeās matches you lose the briefcase, understood? Spike if you touch Dean between now and then you forfit the title, we clear?
Dean Harper: Do I get to pick the kind of match?
Roberto Verona: No-

BACKSTAGE SEGMENTMissing: 1 Canadian
------------------------------------
{Backstage Cable and Roberto sit with their heads, figuratively, together over a small mountain of paperwork when the door to the office bursts open and Strong Style champion Bob Pooler comes into the room, still taking the time to knock. The pair donāt stop what theyāre doing, but Cable looks up long enough to cock an eyebrow at Pooler.}Cable Arcane: Ya gotta be pretty Canadian to still be polite when bursting into an obviously closed door. What do you want, Bob?
{Pooler, still looking a bit worse for ware from his recent experience at the hands of one of Godās disciples walks forward and places his knuckles down onto the shared desk.}Bob Pooler: Are you serious?
{He pauses for a second but itās quickly apparent that neither Verona or Arcane know why heās here.}Bob Pooler: Guys ā¦ havenāt you wondered where Iāve been for the last few weeks?
{Roberto looks up, cocks his head to the side for a second, and shakes it before looking back down and signing his name on a document.}Roberto Verona: I just saw you last week, didnāt I?
Bob Pooler: No, no you didnāt ācause I ā¦
{Verona interrupts him}Roberto Verona: No, I am fairly sure I saw you before my match.
{Bob shakes his head}Cable Arcane: Is this about a problem with booking? If youāve got a problem with not getting booked then you gotta take that up with the bookers, not with us. Hell, youāre the Strong Style champion; Iād take that straight to the person in charge of your territory.
Roberto Verona: Cristiano Tapia
{he adds to the conversation, as though helping. Meanwhile, Bob stands there, mouth agape.} Bob Pooler: Guys, donāt you see ā¦ Angel had me kid...,
{Cable looks up}Cable Arcane: Is this a grievance? If itās a grievance you need to go talk to ā¦ ah ā¦
Roberto Verona: Nash
{he helps with again}Cable Arcane: Yup; James Michael Nash! Their offices should be down the hall on your right ā¦

{Pooler heads down the hall and stops when he sees the large mass of Tapia walking toward him.}Bob Pooler: Hey! Cristiano! Tell me
YOU realized that Iād been kidnapped by one of Angelās lackies and have been missing for the last few weeks.
{Cristiano looks Pooler up and down before nodding his head.}Cristiano Tapia: Yes, but so many people are kidnapped around here it was only a matter of time before ā¦
{Pooler stops him dead}Bob Pooler: Hold on, so because itās so commonplace for people to be kidnapped that you werenāt the least bit concerned that
this time it was me? Cris - Iām the Strong Style champion; but champion or not, people shouldnāt be getting kidnapped left and right around here. I mean ā¦
{Pooler begins pacing around exasperatedly}Bob Pooler: I was tied up in chains, physically and mentally tortured and
you didnāt think it might be bad for business or common human decency to do something about that? Guy, I want to know
RIGHT NOW what youāre going to do about this? Like, should we call the police? Do you want me to write you a statement? Iāve got a pen around here somewhere ā¦
{Pooler starts fishing around in his pockets for a pen when Cristiano places one of his large hands on his shoulder.}Cristiano Tapia: No, I know just what to do! You will get your revenge because at Lineage you will face your captor Oracle in a match for the Strong Style title!
{Bobās shoulders droop}Bob Pooler: Hang on; I get kidnapped and tortured and the dude who does it gets a title shot out of it? Like, does
any of that make sense to you?
Cristiano Tapia: Thatās wrestling!
Bob Pooler: Iām getting too old for this stuff.

SINGLES MATCHJayson Matthews v Redcap
------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Our next match is a rematch from three weeks ago between The Redcap and Jayson Matthews.
Terri Morasco: These two have been in many matches together including getting a win just last week together, but there is no time for partnerships when it comes to the Heir to The Throne!
{Perfect Mistake by 311 begins to play as Jayson Matthews makes his way down to the ring}Vasco Dias: While Jayson is making his way to the ring, letās show you some highlights of the match they had just three weeks ago against one another!
{A Video package showcasing their match from a few weeks ago is shown, as we see highlights of the match followed by the ending of that match}{From July, 2nd 2018}{Before Cap can even leap off with his awesome finisher, Jayson nails a dropkick to the legs, coming out of nowhere as Redcap falls to the top rope, but his feet get tangled, causing him to get strandled on a island, as Jayson pulls himself to the apron before climbing up to the top rope, Jayson tries for a Sunset Flip powerbomb off the top rope, but Redcap fights that, He nails some more of those infamous forearms of his, as Jayson begins to lose his balance, but Jayson hits a headbutt right to the arm to fight back, followed by a Forearm that nearly knocks Jayson to the floor, but Jayson nails another headbutt to the arm, knocking Redcap backwards!}Vasco Dias: Those are some heavy strikes!
{Jayson regains his balance and leaps over Red and drives him down with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb but Redcap rolls thru into a cover!
One!!!
Two!!!
Three!!
NO!!
Jayson wraps his legs around the head of Redcap pulling him back, into a pin of his own!
One!!!
Redcap breaks away, moving back and hitting the ropes, rebounding off to try to continue the offense... but Jayson intercepts, going low and pulling Redcap into the RIBKRAKER! Jayson covers!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!Alison Valance: Here is your winner... Jayson MATTHEWS!!!
Vasco Dias: The Redcap will be looking to avoid the same faith here tonight, while Jayson will look to control his own destiny.
Terri Morasco: Speaking of The Redcap Here, Here we go!
{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.}Vasco Dias: This guy style may be different then what I like, but there is a certain familiar vibe about him.
Terri Morasco: I do get that feeling, but I think this rivalary with Dean Harper might be more distracting to him, Hopefully he can put that our of his mind and focus on the task at hand.
{The bell rings and immediately right out of the gate, it is Redcap who takes control catching Jayson right in the jaw with a dropkick that knocks Matthews back against the ropes, Redcap comes in and begins to fire away with some stiff forearm shots, as Jayson is just struggling to defend himself early, Jayson does manage to get a kick in between Redcap strikes, He tries to follow up but Redcap leaps up and takes him over with a Huracanrana that sends Jayson across the mat, and sliding to the outside.}Terri Morasco: This is clearly a lot different from the match the two hard three weeks ago, Redcap was more caution and it may of costed him the match.
Vasco Dias: Redcap has only managed five points so far in the Heir to the Throne, while Jayson is ahead of him with ten points. To make matters worst Jayson already has a head to head victory.
Terri Morasco: Redcap is talented, it shows in his work, but so is everyone else, and you canāt afford to fall behind with this level of competion.
{Jayson is trying to regain himself, but he hasnāt even been given a second to do so, as Redcap runs across from him inside the ring, Jayson glances up as Redcap leaps to the second rope, followed by hitting the top rope across from that one, before turning his body and flipping and wiping out Jayson on the outside with a Double Jump Somersault Senton as the fans begin to chant I DUB F}Vasco Dias: He is determined I give him that, thru I enjoyed the tactics he employed in the first match with Jayson.
Terri Morasco: But you canāt just have one style, you have to be able to evolveā¦Oh God I just realized someone said that last week.
Vasco Dias: Letās not quote him again, His antics really pissed me off earlier tonight.
{Redcap is on fire so far in this match as Jayson hasnāt managed to really get out of the gate, Redcap pulls Jayson up as the referee is counting on the inside of the ring, Redcap notices it still early in the count and tosses Jayson up against the barricade, before hitting him with a European Uppercut that hits with so much force that Jayson nearly pops over the barricade, as the referee is hitting four on the outside count}Terri Morasco: For someone who seems so new to this, Redcap is counting the pace, He knows he got plenty of time on the outside and is using that to plan his next attack.
Vasco Dias: Itās a good strategy; thru I wonder if he is to go for a countout.
Terri Morasco: I doubt it, I know points are points in the Heir to The Throne but he will need more then what would be given for that.
{The Referee count has hit six as Redcap throws another strike to Jayson before tossing him into the apron, which if you didnāt know is the hardest part of the ring, before tossing Jayson under the ropes back inside the ring. The referee count hits eight, as Redcap slides under the bottom rope breaking the count for himself, as he does so Jayson rolls backwards, getting to his feet, and as Redcap gets to his knees, hit a Superkick right to the side of that Mask/Helmet that Redcap wears, causing him to fall over to his stomach}Vasco Dias: There was the one mistake Redcap made, Thru small and often overlooked, He threw Jayson into the ring first, instead of letting Matthews get up and into the ring himself, That moment allowed Jayson to take advantage.
Terri Morasco: I donāt know if it because he knows he needs points and wanted to avoid Jayson getting counted out, or if he just underestimated Matthews
Vasco Dias: I think itās the former, He knows Jayson is capable of beating him as seen a few weeks ago.
{Jayson grabs Redcap arm and lifts it up and slams it into the mat, remembering that a few weeks ago, he used Redcap arm against him to control the pace and goes back to it, Jayson lifts the arm up, and slides under the bottom rope back out to the floor, before slamming the arm across the Ring Apron, Redcap lets out a small grunt of pain, before Jayson pulls himself up and takes off running, dragging Redcap body from inside the ring, before slamming his arm into the Ringpost, as Redcapās arm completely wraps around the ringpost!}Vasco Dias: Every since his attack on God a few weeks ago, does it seem like Jayson has been more aggressive?
Terri Morasco: It has, Jayson is a amazing young kid from the talks I have had with him. It may be that just being around Angel may of opened up a ruthless side in him.
Vasco Dias: Or it could be the Pack mentality?
Terri Morasco: Even So, I think he might be even trying to impress a certain someone in that group.
Vasco Dias: Dean?
Terri Morasco: Think Female, Blonde Hair.
Vasco Dias: Oh! Terri you shouldnāt say things like that. Donāt ruin his chances, what if she is watching in the back?
{Jayson pulls Redcap outside of the ring, before pulling him up and grabbing his other arm, whipping him across the floor, before Redcap shoulder hits the ring steps. Jayson walks over to the steps, making sure to hit a kick to the arm of Redcap who is slumped over the steps, trying to pull himself up before sliding back in the ring. Jayson jumps onto the turnbuckle and poses to the crowd to a mixed reaction}
Vasco Dias: Matthews isnāt making the same mistake Cap did that lead to Jayson taking control, Heās going to let Redcap get in the ring himself, and by that time, Jayson will be waiting.
Terri Morasco: Yeah, But he is taunting and posing, How is that not a rookie mistake?
Vasco Dias: Itās okay, Heās taken out his opponent for a few moments.
Terri Morasco: Oh, So itās okay because he is trying to impress a girl?
Vasco Dias: Will you stop that?
{Redcap is trying to pull himself up into the ring, using the steps to assist with that, but there might have been some lingering damage from a few weeks ago that Jayson might of aggravated. As Soon as Redcap is able to get into the ring, to break the count, Matthews hits a knee to the head of Redcap, who falls back down, Jayson pulls Redcap up and places his arm on the middle turnbuckle, before turning around, Jayson then goes for a Superkick to that Arm, but Redcap moves his arm out of the way, and Jayson foot connects with the ringpost, as he stumbles backwards and screams in pain as his groin area made contract with the turnbuckle, Jayson is in serious pain, and seems to be struck}Vasco Dias: It was good in theory, but I donāt think Matthews put much throught into what would happen if he missed.
Terri Morasco: Clearly not, He was thinking about a blonde hair member of the pack, Thru I donāt think she is on his mind now.
Vasco Dias: I told you to stop, did the one week of that idiot being at the announce table rot your brain?
Terri Morasco: You didnāt get censored? And No it didnāt.
{Redcap shakes his arm, trying to regain feeling, then kicks the bottom of the middle turnbuckle which makes Jayson groan in pain, The official warns Redcap not to do that again, Redcap acknowledges it, you canāt tell the emotion on his face, but you would think he would be smiling, as he pulls the middle rope down as he steps out of the ring, before letting it snap upwards as Jayson screams, still trying to free himself, Redcap then steps on the middle rope, before using it to climb to the top turnbuckle as Jayson screams and yells, OH COME ON MAN, Redcap then hooks Jayson head before flipping over as he yells SNICKERSNACK and hits a modified version of the Vorpal Blade, as it finally frees Jayson from the turnbuckle}Vasco Dias: I donāt know how much of the normal impact of that Redcap got with the position Matthews was in, but it should be enough!
{Redcap pulls Jayson away from the ropes and goes for the cover}One!
Two!
{Jayson kicks out, but groans in pain, before he is still very sensitive in a certain spot that he had to use to kick out of that one, Redcap knowing Matthews may not have full mobility runs off the far side ropes, and comes roaring back with a Basement dropkick that sends Jayson retreating out of the ring}Terri Morasco: Fans, we apologize but we have to take a commercial break.
Vasco Dias: We will have the cameras rolling as always
{Commercial Break}Vasco Dias: Ladies and Gentleman we are back, and while itās not my cup of tea, Redcap once again proved why he is one of the most athletic fighters we have on the roster.
{The replay shows Redcap hitting the sliding basement dropkick that sends Jayson rolling out of the ring, before rolling to his feet, but as soon as he hit the floor Redcap once again took to the air, this time diving thru the middle rope and hitting a Suicide Dive, while still landing on his feet, the impact sent Jayson to the barricade as we cut back live.}
Terri Morasco: Thatās what you missed.
{As the feed returns back to normal Jayson has somehow managed to regain control of this match as Redcap is down, Jayson climbs to the top rope, looking for a Moonsault but in a blink of a eye Redcap leaps up and dropkicks the legs of Jayson, once again making him stumble and hitting a rather sensitive area of his body as he groans in pain once more}Terri Morasco: J-Mat is really having issues, itās almost comical how he keep getting damaged in that area.
Vasco Dias: It hurts me, Shows the guts of this kid to not give up.
{Redcap adjusts his mask/helmet and nails a leaping Enzuguri to the back of Jayson head, to keep him in place before climbing up to the turnbuckle with Jayson, as he grabs his head and goes to flip over into a Sunset Flip Power}Terri Morasco: This is shades of there match back on the 2nd of this month, Except Jayson was the one who did this move, and lead to the match ending when Redcap Roll thru.
Vasco Dias: Wonder if we will see that play into effect here.
{Redcap drills Jayson into the mat with the Sunset Flip Powerbomb but Jayson roll thru the cover attempt somehow and leaps to his feet, grabbing Redcap as he is getting up}Vasco Dias: Jayson is going to win this match, exactly the same way as before, countering the Sunset Flip into the RibKracker!
{Jayson indeed goes for the RibKracker by Redcap knowing this was exactly how he was defeated the last time, counters, by holding Jayson up before planting him with a Northern Nights Suplex!}Terri Morasco: Redcap got it!
One!
Two!
Jayson Matthews Kicks out!
{Redcap scrambles to his feet, moving at a quicker pace then the usually quick Matthews, before hitting him with a Spinning Backfist, sending Matthews back down, Redcap hits the ropes and comes rushing back and leaps up wrapping his legs around Matthews with a Huracanrana before reaching back and going for the legs, but Jayson feed Redcaps his legs before pulling Redcap back into a Pin}One!
Two!
Redcap flips over, catching Jayson in a pin this time!
One!
Two!
{Jayson kicks out as both men come to there feet, Jayson leaps up, as Redcap comes full motor ahead, but puts on the brakes as Matthews was looking for that RibKracker again, Jayson falls to the mat, landing on his butt, as Redcap nails a stiff roundhouse kick right to the temple of Jayson!}Terri Morasco: These are two of the best in the World, as far as quickness go, and they are literally putting it all on the line here tonight!
Vasco Dias: They have too; you have too many factors to contend with when it comes to the Heir to The Throne Tournament, Jayson is trying to stay at the top of the field, while Redcap himself is trying to keep himself in the running!
{Redcap thinks about the cover, but doesnāt believe he got this one just yet, as Matthews is out cold, He looks a bit cautious then normal as he has already had to avoid Jayson knockout shot twice. He waits for Jayson to stir as he backs up against the corner, As Jayson gets up to his knees, He leaps forward looking for the knockout shot with the Penalty Kick, but Jayson sidesteps and yanks Redcap backwards and rolls him up with a School-Boy}One!
Two!
Three!
{Redcap kicks out, but the refās hand hits three before he could do so, as Redcap is beside himself, as he couldnāt believe he got caught with that as Perfect Mistake by 311 is already playing as Jayson is even in disbelief he pulled this one out}Vasco Dias: Jayson Matthews has done it again pinning Redcap.
Terri Morasco: The Redcap is such a amazing fighter, and just comes to show you how deep the talent pool is here in IWF and more specifically when it comes to the Heir to The Throne rankings.
Vasco Dias: However this lost may of finally been the final nail in the coffin to The Redcap chances to win. Heās falling back pretty far, and Jayson is now officially in a tie for 1st place.
Terri Morasco: But itās not over, A Submission victory for Redcap whenever he fights next could be enough to get him back into this.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENTCable is interviewed about his upcoming match with a Steve Awesome
------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break and focus in on Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco in the commentators booth. }Vasco Dias: Terri, next week we are going to have our first ever MMA Cage Match in IWF. I had the honor of speaking to both individuals of that match separately earlier today.
{ We shift to earlier in the day with Vasco Dias sat next to a sharply dressed Cable Arcane. }Vasco Dias: Cable, first off thank you for this interview.
Cable Arcane: Entirely your pleasure.
Vasco Dias: Right, look letās get right down to this you seemed more than elated to accept Steve Awesomeās challenge to an MMA Cage Match, care to elaborate on why?
Cable Arcane: Itās really simple Vasco. Steve Awesome is an entertainer. Steve Awesome could be considered a wrestler. But Steve Awesome is not a fighter and thatās what this match is going to be, a fight.
Vasco Dias: So you donāt think Steve Awesome is skilled enough inside a professional wrestling ring to compete at an MMA level?
Cable Arcane: Look, Iāve done MMA and professional wrestling, Iāve been successful in both sports. The thing that makes the two sports different is the intensity. Professional wrestling you have sixty minute time limits, you have count outs, of disqualifications. Professional wrestling is like a physical chess match. MMA? Itās three five minute rounds of trying to beat another human being into submission. Steve Awesome will be completely out of his element.
{ Vasco nods his head as we scene swipe to Dias now sat with Steve Awesome. }Vasco Dias: Steve, itās absolute honor to have you hear on Vasco Views.
Steve Awesome: The honor is all mine Vasco.
{ Steve grins arrogantly from behind his aviators. }Vasco Dias: Steve, what made you challenge Cable Arcane to an MMA Cage Match after already defeating him so soundly in professional wrestling match?
Steve Awesome: Iām glad you asked Vasco. Cable, he likes to walk saying heās the best in the world but honestly, heās not. Heās not the World Champion. Heās not in the Heir to the Throne. Cable Arcane is just a one hit wonder who had his moment in the spot light and I proved that when I pinned him fair and square. But that didnāt shut him. Instead he just ramped up the propaganda train, crying about losing to the tried and true best in the world. So I thought what better way to shut him up than kicking his again but this time at MMA, you know, the sport he was black listed from because he just wasnāt that at it.
Vasco Dias: Fair point. It is a known fact that Cable only spent a short amount of time in MMA before coming back to wrestling however he has kept up with his training despite his wrestling schedule.
Steve Awesome: Vasco, I know youāre supposed to be fair and impartial but letās not beat around the bush here. MMA is just two people rolling around on the ground with each other and then the judges pick a winner. Thatās not what this is gonna be. This is gonna be me punching Cable in the mouth repeatedly until he shuts the fuck up.
{ We head back to the commentators booth where Vasco is grinning a mile wide. }Vasco Dias: Terri, I am very excited for this match.
Terri Morasco: Me too Vasco, these two have been going back and forth for months and I think itās time we finally find out who the best is.
Vasco Dias: Probably Steve Awesome.
Terri Morasco: Jesusā¦

TAG TEAM MATCHKimberly Williams and Kate Steele Vs. Rowan MacDonnough and Brooklyn Maddox
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Up next we have a female tag team match. Between Kate Steele and Kimberly Williams against two women of The Pack.
Vasco Dias: It will be a slaughter. An absolute slaughter.
Terri Morasco: I donāt know if Iād go that far, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Itās Rowan and Brooklyn. There will be nothing left but blood and bones.
Terri Morasco: I think youāre wrong, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Whyās that Terri?
Terri Morasco: I think Rowan would drink the blood.
Vasco Dias: Well---Hang on, Iām getting something from backstageāCameras
{the camera feed switches to backstage where Rowan and Brooklyn are standing over Kate and Kimberly. Brooklyn grins evilly and Rowanās eyes glow towards the camera before the feed goes out.}Terri Morasco: Iā¦Uhā¦
Vasco Dias: Cut to commercial!

BACKSTAGE SEGMENTOpen weight number one contender announced
------------------------------------
{We return from commercial to see Jess Fowler sitting in an office as Vivienne Rodgers steps into the office with the open Weight championship belt around her waist.} Vivienne Rodgers: You wanted to see me, Mr. Fowler?
{Jess Fowler sits back in the office chair looking over at her.} Jess Fowler: I just read the email you sent about who you thought would be a good challenger to your belt. Iām declining them.
{Vivienne frowns.} Jess Fowler: I understand wanting to give some of these women a second shot at you. But itās a pay per view. Letās get things a little more exciting, shall we?
Vivienne Rodgers: So I get to pick still or do you have someone in mind?
Jess Fowler: I have a short list of recommendations. The choice is yours, more or less.
{Jess slides over a piece of paper on his desk but Vivienne shakes her head smiling warmly.} Vivienne Rodgers: Hope Freeman-Hall-Kane.
Jess Fowler: Sheās only had a few matchesā¦
Vivienne Rodgers: That doesnāt mean she doesnāt have what it takes to win a match. Did you want exciting? Iād say sheās got that.
Jess Fowler: Do you know what it will look like if a rookie dethrones you?
Vivienne Rodgers: We were all new to this once. No one thought I could beat Rayne. I want to give her the shoot.
{Jess Fowler sighs and shakes his head.} Jess Fowler: ā¦Fine.
Vivienne Rodgers: Thanks, Mr. Fowler.

SINGLES MATCHBest of five series four
Pax StormCrow v Nighthawk
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: āThis next contest is match #4 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 1st, from Aitkin, Minnesota and weighing in at 250 pounds please welcomeā¦. 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, from Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at 185 poundsā¦. āThe Master of 1000 Holdsāā¦. āThe Wrestling Machineā Nighthawk!ā
Terri Morasco: āAnd in a best-of-5 series that is drawing more and more acclaim from wrestling journalists, Nighthawk and Pax Stormcrow battle each other in match #4. The last time these two men met, it was a quick and surprisingly brutal victory for Pax Stormcrow with a Karelin Lift, one of the most devastating moves in Greco-Roman wrestling. If he can get that move applied again, I donāt think Nighthawk can stand up to 250 pounds throwing him through the air like that.ā
Vasco Dias: āConversely, if youāre Nighthawk, you have to keep this pace slow and deliberate. It might seem weird, and that trying to wear out Pax Stormcrow with speed might be a better idea, but a faster pace actually allows him to hook in that devastating Karelin Lift in a scramble. If he can stay on the arm he weakened in matches 1 and 2, he might be able to win this series right here and right now.ā
{As the referee finishes checking both men for any foreign objects and moves to ring the bell Nighthawk offers his hand to shake, which Pax Stormcrow does comfortably as both men continue to conduct themselves as sportsmen. Locking up quickly Pax pummels through into a waistlock which Nighthawk quickly tries to sit out of, reaching his hands inside the grip of the waistlock to try and slowly pry his way out of it only to realize that he canāt get out of the grip at all and finally reaches out for the ropes which he is able to grab to force a break. Leaning against the ropes for a beat the āWrestling Machineā clearly is thinking of what he wants to do next.} Terri Morasco: āVasco, I donāt know if youāve ever seen this before but we can actually see Nighthawk thinking. Heās known for adapting to his opponentās offense on the fly, but heās really noticeably struggling to try and find any way in with Pax Stormcrow. I donāt think we can underestimate how much trouble he had in the 3rd match of this series.ā
Vasco Dias: āI think what youāre seeing is a tribute to Pax Stormcrow. He has the technical ability of a lightweight, but also the mass and power of a heavyweight. He truly is a difficult puzzle for anyone to solve, as evidenced by the fact that perhaps the single smartest in-ring competitior Iāve ever seen has no idea at all what to do with him.ā
{Exhaling Nighthawk again goes back to a knucklelock only for Pax to smoothly push out of the knucklelock right into a waistlock where he lands a gorgeous bridging deadlift german suplex that lands with a giant thud and allows Pax to get the three-count.} ------------------------------------
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Nighthawk interview
----------------------------------
{As Nighthawk staggers back into the locker room area, his eyes hazy, he is stopped by Maria Iniesta who looks at the "Wrestling Machine" worriedly. Grabbing a sports drink from a trainer Nighthawk leans, on unsteady legs, against an anvil case.}
Maria Iniesta: "Everyone, Nighthawk, is worried about you. How much longer can you possibly keep this pace up?"
Nighthawk: "Easy, Maria. As long as I have to. If I can get through this best-of-5 series, and still be in contention to win Heir to the Throne, I'll keep going till i collapse. I've been here long enough, and seen enough people jump ahead in front of me in line that I don't want to wait.
----------------------------------
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT"It's MINE...And You Can't Have It!"
------------------------------------
{We head to the backstage area where Rachel Grimes is standing by with a special guest.}Rachel Grimes: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, she is the first ever IWF Luchadora Champion...Alexis Caffrey.
{The scene pans out and Alexis is shown cradling her newly won championship, a huge smile on her face.}Rachel Grimes: Alexis, congratulations on becoming the first ever Luchadora Champion. I have to ask, whatās next?
Alexis Caffrey: Whatās next? WHATāS NEXT!?!?
{Her demeanor quickly switches from upset to cute and bubbly.}Alexis Caffrey: Just kidding, I didnāt mean to yell. Itās just that, I thought the answer was obvious. I take my baby here to the ring, and I defend her against any and all comers, just like I did when I had the Diamonds Championship. I give her love and affection, just as I did her sister that came before her, and I make sure she never ever nevereverneverEVER leaves me loving arms.
{She turns to the camera.}Alexis Caffrey: So to all of you in the back who want to try and take my pride and joy from me...you better bring your āAā game and you better try harder than anything youāve ever tried in your entire life. Then...you
MIGHT have a chance...but itāll be very...very slim. This little bundle of joy is staying with me, and the only way youāll get her is if you pry her from my cold...dead...fingers.
{Rachel seems a little put off by the comments, but being the great backstage interviewer she is, she quickly switches the subject.}Rachel Grimes: And what of your first challenger, Vesna?
Alexis Caffrey: Are you hard at hearing? Did I scream too loud earlier? It doesnāt matter who it is that wants this championship. It doesnāt matter how hard they try. Itās
mine and they canāt have it.
{Alexis walks off, still cradling her title as the scene fades.}------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCHAGE OF GODS v. Ethan King and Andrew Jacobsen
------------------------------------
Allison Valance: The following tag match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: This matchup has been building since Open Fight Night. Ethan King antagonized the Age of Gods and got an assist from Andrew Jacobsen.
Vasco Dias: AJ has been talking about it certainly. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
{The lights go out as Necessary Evil by Motionless in White kicks in hard. Torches light up in the darkened arena as we see Angel Blake and Spike Kane standing on the center of the stage. Spike throws up the X and Angel does a Christ pose before the two of them step forward and begin to head toward the ring, an explosion of fire behind them. Spike rolls in under the bottom rope and sits cross legged in the ring, Angel comes up behind him, the two pose again before the music dies and the light returns.} Allison Valance: first down to the ring we have The Menās World Champion, The Extreme champion in the AGE OF GODSā¦ Spike Kane and God.
Vasco Dias: the Age of Gods look dedicated here. They are going to put down the upstart team of Andrew and Ethan. It doesnāt matter what happened elsewhere, here Gods rule.
Terri Morasco: I donāt know if I would go that far, Vasco.
{The opening riff of "Unbreakable" plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and as the drums kick in Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp, Danielle Chase a step behind him. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side with a wide grin on his face. Before taking a step forward the lights switch, the entrance ramp which has lit up with gaudy neon colors and flashing lights as āSell Outā by Reel Big Fish plays loudly over the speakers.} Allison Valance: coming down to the ring next, Hall of famer Andrew Jacobsen and Ethan King.
{Ethan King and Gwen Price-King step out from backstage. Andrew and Ethan walk down the ramp, Andrew high-fiving fans as he goes, and he pulls himself up onto the apron, looking around at the fans with an infectious grin on his face. Ethan walks up the steps himself. Gwen and Danielle stand off to the side of the ring talking as the man get ready for the match to start.} Terri Morasco: It will be interesting to see how this match plays out.
Vasco Dias: Spike Kane and God have beaten Andrew before. I doubt adding Ethan King in here will do much to change things up.
{Andrew and Ethan have a quick chat and Andrew stays in the ring and Ethan stands on the outside. Spike and God have a heated conversation before Spike stays in the ring and God steps to the outside.} Terri Morasco: We are getting a revisit of the feud of the year 2017 here with the starting men here.
Vasco Dias: Andrew and Spike have a very heated history. I have no doubt this is going to be impressive work from both of them.
{the ref looks between the two teams before signaling for the bell. As soon as the bell sounds AJ bursts forward with a Running low dropkick to the knee of Spike. AJ then hits Spike with a snap suplex} Terri Morasco: AJās wasting no time putting Spike through his paces.
Vasco Dias: He will want to get things done quickly here.
{Spike is clearly angry, he knocks AJ back from him before hitting AJ with his own Snap Suplex. Followed by a Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker dropping AJ to the mat.} Terri Morasco: thereās that famous Kane Temper.
Vasco Dias: This is bad news for AJ.
{AJ gets back to his feet looking over to spike, motioning him forward.} Terri Morasco: whatās going through AJās mind here?
Vasco Dias: He wants Spike to come at him with everything he has.
{Spike hits AJ with a Spear knocking them both into the turnbuckle. Spike pulls AJ away from the turnbuckle, hitting him with a Fishermans Suplex and a pele kick.} Terri Morasco: Spike is not holding back against AJ here.
Vasco Dias: and why should he? AJ has always been on his high horse about how much better he is then Spike.
Terri Morasco: You know thatās not at all what he meant.
Vasco Dias: Prove it.
{AJ gets to his feet and hits Spike with a Release German suplex knocking him away, giving Aj a second to clear his head before going after Spike with a Russian legsweep as soon as the World champion got to his feet. AJ drags him away from his corner where God is was waiting to tag in.} Terri Morasco: That was a close one for Andrew.
Vasco Dias: Just a little closer and we would be having God in this match.
{AJ hits Spike with a Backdrop Driver Suplex.} Terri Morasco: Andrew isnāt letting up on AJ here.
Vasco Dias: He has to try and keep this momentum up to beat Spike. If he slips up spike could turn things around or tag out.
{ AJ goes for the Pin.

God enters the ring and goes to assist Spike but Ethan intercepts him, getting a hit to the stomach. Spike KICKS out anyway.} Terri Morasco: God and Ethan clashing top keep the pin
Vasco Dias: Not that it mattered. Spike wasnāt out of things yet.
{the ref makes God and Ethan go back to their corners.} Terri Morasco: Things are certainly heating up here.
Vasco Dias: God and Ethan are going to clash sooner or later.
{AJ hits Spike with an Inverted atomic drop. AJ walks over to his side of the ring and tags Ethan into the match.} Terri Morasco: Ethanās in the match.
Vasco Dias: This should be interesting.
{Ethan walks casually over to Spike hitting him with a Pumphandle Backbreaker.} Terri Morasco: Ethan acting like Spike isnāt a real threat here.
Vasco Dias: Well, Ethan was in the longest match in IWF history for the Extreme titleā¦.
{Ethan smirks before grabbing Spike up and hitting him with a Belly to Belly Suplex.} Terri Morasco: Ouch. Iām not sure how much more of this Spike can take.
Vasco Dias: Spike Kane is the god of Xtreme. He can take a lot more than anyone else who works for this company can.
{Backing off slightly, Ethan goes for a Running Uppercut but Spike counters with a Bloody Sunday, knocking Ethan back on the mat. Spike takes a few deep breathes before walking over to his side of the ring.} Terri Morasco: Spike going for the tag!
Vasco Dias: YES! GET GOD IN THERE!
{Ethan gets up, trying to get to spike before he can get the tag in but spike manages to tag God in. Ethan still hits spike with a Russian Leg Sweep knocking Spikeās throat into the ropes before he drops to the mat. God steps through the ropes glaring at Ethan who shrugs.} Terri Morasco: Low move from Ethan there.
Vasco Dias: Itās debatable if he noticed the tag occurred.
{God hits Ethan with a Spinning back fist. Ethan hits him with a Scoop Slam followed by a Catching Spinebuster.} Terri Morasco: Ethan holding his own against Angel here.
Vasco Dias: itās God, Terri. You know that.
{God chops Ethan in the throat. God then hits King with a Eat Defeet followed by a Flap Jack into the turnbuckles.} Terri Morasco: Things have taken a turn.
Vasco Dias: What is a king to a God?
{God hits Ethan with a Last Gasp. AJ is suddenly pulled down from the apron by Spike Kane to the outside. AJ and Spike exchange blows back and forth.} Terri Morasco: Spike keeping AJ from helping his team mate out here.
Vasco Dias: Itās the smart move.
{Ethan gets shakily back to his feet before God hits him with a GENOCIE KICK knocking Ethan back to the mat cold.} Terri Morasco: Oh this does not look good.
Vasco Dias: This is the ending for sure.

Terri Morasco: Who could have seen this coming?
Vasco Dias: Me. I saw it coming. IWF belongs to The Age of Gods.
{AJ hits Spike with a LIGHTS OUT before sliding into the ring to grab Ethan out of there. God stands in the center of the ring, looking down at AJ with disdain as Necessary Evil plays over the PA system.} Terri Morasco: This certainly was a brutal match.
Vasco Dias: It will be interesting to see how Lineage shapes up after this match up.
