BACKSTAGE SEGMENT "Everything is fine in the IWF"------------------------------------
{The camera comes on to Jess Fowler sitting behind his desk.} Jess Fowler: there have been some concerns raised on social media and I wanted to take this moment to assure you everything within IWF is fine. There is nothing wrong.
{Jess gives a simple Smile.} Jess Fowler: Everything is fine. Nothing to be worried about. We are deeply saddened by the injury of Freya Kane but we hope her a speedy recovery.
{Jess nods.} Jess Fowler: With Shea OāHaraās injury she cannot return to the ring but she will be joining the commentary team starting with a match at next weekās pay per view. Please enjoy this Monday Night Sacrifice.
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHUriel Black vs Gen. Eric------------------------------------
{We fade from Fowler's announcement to the ring, where Gen. Eric is waiting, checking his wrists as Alison Valance raises her microphone.}Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boot Camp, weighing in at 155 pounds, Gen. Eric!
Terri Morasco: The eternally-scrappy Gen. Eric set for action here tonight against the newest member of the Age of Gods, who made his debut at our last Open Fight Night in a big way.
Vasco Dias: Dead man walking.
{The crashing opening chords of "Burn in Hell" by Dimmu Borgir sound through the PA, and Uriel Black walks through the curtain, head bowed as he stridently ignores the boos of the crowd. He steps to the head of the ramp, kneeling down, and clasps his hands in prayer, head bowed as the lyrics begin.}Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play
Only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say as you go down
Down
Down...
YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL!{As the words ring out, Uriel springs to his feet, arms wide as he walks down the ramp, bellowing defiantly.}Alison Valance: And his opponent, representing the Age of Gods, from Glenfinnan, Lochaber, Scotland, weighing 285 pounds, Uriel Black!
Terri Morasco: Uriel Black burst onto the scene two weeks ago, when he attacked Ethan King and broke his leg for challenging God. This man's raw destructive power is scary, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: I cannot think of many places I want to be less than in the sights of that rampaging zealot. On that note, I'm putting together a GoFundMe for Gen. Eric's hospital bills...
Terri Morasco: Always the ray of sunshine, Vasco.
{He leaps onto the apron, turning to face the entrance ramp with his arms hooked over the top rope. After a moment of scanning the crowd, he steps between the ropes, shrugging off his jacket. Uriel tosses it to the side as he walks to a corner and kneels in prayer once more, waiting for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: A brooding force meeting a determined object here tonight on Sacrifice. Let's get things going!
{The bell rings, and immediately Gen. Eric charges Uriel, throwing a leaping forearm to the much larger man's chest. He absorbs one, two, three strikes before reaching out and shoving Eric back with one hand. Eric rolls back, getting to his feet uneasily as he staggers into the corner, and Uriel charges in after him, sandwiching him with a brutal clothesline! Uriel hooks Eric with his arm without letting him go, taking a step before flinging Eric across the ring with a mighty biel throw!}Terri Morasco: WHAT A THROW! Uriel nearly needed to file a flight plan with SLC there!
Vasco Dias: It just goes to show what I've been saying for years, Terri: anyone can be a luchadore with proper motivation.
{Eric clutches his spine as he forces himself to stand, stumbling out into the waiting grasp of Uriel. The big man casually slings Eric over his shoulder in position for a powerslam, beginning to walk him around the ring. Eric slips out the back, though, and greets Uriel with a big right hand! The blow briefly dazes Uriel, and Eric swings again. This time, Uriel catches his hand, countering with a massive right of his own! He hits a second, bouncing Eric off the ropes, and delivers a huge kneelift on the rebound that doubles Eric over. Uriel lifts him up into powerbomb position, charging in and hurling Eric into the corner to deliver a massive turnbuckle powerbomb! Eric stumbles forward on dead knees, and Uriel hits the ropes, delivering a massive single leg dropkick that flips Eric head over heels!}Vasco Dias: I think the ring moved there! The human neck was not made to take that kind of abuse!
Terri Morasco: I'm told he calls that the Suffer for Faith, and after seeing it in action I can't disagree with the name. What a brutal combination!
{Uriel rolls to a knee after the dropkick, looking around at the crowd with a wild look in his eyes. He stands, looming over Eric's prone body, and makes the sign of the cross above his form before looking to the ceiling and bellowing "AAAAAAMEN!" Uriel reaches down, hauling Eric up by the throat, and slings him over his shoulder, maneuvering him down into position before leaping and drilling him into the canvas with the FINAL SACRAMENT! Uriel plants a hand on Eric's chest, nodding along as the ref counts ONE!
TWO!
THREE! "Burn In Hell" plays again, and Uriel stands, throwing his hair back and smirking as the crowd roars its disapproval.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Uriel Black!
Terri Morasco: Uriel Black shows how dominant he can be on his debut!
Vasco Dias: God just gained a powerful new soldier in this war!
Terri Morasco: Wait a minute! What the hell?!
{Suddenly Jayson Matthews slides into the ring and taps the big man on the shoulder. Black turns around.}Jayson Matthews: Welcome to IWF!
{Jayson grins and then swings the chair and BLASTS Uriel right on the top of the head! The big man drops to the ground as the crowd pop! Jayson finds the main camera and he yells into it.}Jayson Matthews: Anytime! Anyplace! God!! Accept my challenge!
{Perfect Mistake starts to play as Jayson heads out of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Jayson Matthews just sent another message to God. An impactful message.
Vasco Dias: Maybe not! Look!
Terri Morasco: No way!
{Uriel Black starts getting back up and climbing up to his feet, glaring a hole at Jayson on the ramp as he cracks his neck. Jayson looks back in shock at how quick he shook off the chair shot.}Terri Morasco: Uh oh. That isnāt good.
Vasco Dias: I think Jayson only pissed Uriel off!
{Commercial Break}------------------------------------
IN-RING SEGMENT Xavier Accept's Dean's terms (with conditions)
------------------------------------
{The camera comes on to a table in the middle of the ring where a table is set up with chairs and paperwork on both sides. Jess Fowler is standing in the middle of the ring with a mic. On both sides of the table are a group of security guards. } Jess Fowler: We will be having the signing of the contract for Xavier Crossā shot at the World Title championship shortly.
Terri Morasco: I canāt believe management is allowing another match to happen at the compound! We all saw what happened to Lindsey and Fiona there last time!
Vasco Dias: And they replaced us on commentary. The absolute rudeness of that!
{The lights grow a little brighter, as the intro to 'X Gon Give it to Ya' by DMX begins to play on the loudspeakers and Xavier Cross walks down to the ring, stopping to soak in the fanās cheers before entering the ring and sitting at the table.} Terri Morasco: Xavier canāt agree to this, can he? Alone in The Packās home? No. No, that canāt be happening.
{The lights go out as the melodic opening of The Howling by Within Temptation and they come on to Dean Harper already sitting in the chair across from Xavier. The music cuts out.}
Jess Fowler: The contracts are in front of you. Included are the safety waivers and all the stipulations for the match.
{Xavier flips through the pages.} Xavier Cross: Really thought of everything, didnāt you?
{Dean smirks across the table.} Dean Harper: Itās part of my charm.
{Xavier sits back in the chair tapping the pen against his chin.} Xavier Cross: I have some conditionsā¦
{The crowd pops, Dean crosses his arms.} Dean Harper: And those would be?
Jess Fowler: the contract is already written upā
{Dean waves dismissively at Jess before motioning Xavier to continue.} Xavier Cross: I see here that Commentary is Shea OāHara and one of your thralls. The camera crew are thralls. The crowd are thralls. The ref is a thrall. Seems a little uneven donāt you think?
Dean Harper: You donāt have much of a choice, do you?
Xavier Cross: ā¦I donāt want anyone from The Pack there. None of them. Thralls? Fine. But none of them.
Jess Fowler: No-
Dean Harper: I donāt need them there to crush your throat under my boot, Sweetheart. Consider it done.
Xavier Cross: I want to pick the ring announcer.
Dean Harper: If you want.
Xavier Cross: Safe passage in and out for the three of us. Do we have a deal?
{Dean seems to consider it.} Dean Harper: Fine.
{Jess takes the paperwork and quickly writes in the points the two agreed on before passing them back.} Jess Fowler: Please sign on the dotted line.
{Dean and Xavier sign and pass the paper back to Jess.} Xavier Cross: So trusting, honey. You didnāt even ask who my special guest ring announcer was.
Dean Harper: It doesnāt really matter, does it?
{Xavier stands up and shrugs.} Xavier Cross: I pick Redcap.
{Dean looks like heās going to get up but the security guards step in and Cross exits the ring.} Terri Morasco: What is Xavier planning?
Vasco Dias: Itās hard to know.
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHRedcap vs āSpike Kaneā
------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: So next up. We have Redcap taking on, Ugh well you know. My least favorite person signed to this promotion, and the pilliager of the legacy of a Hall of Famer.
Terri Morasco: But donāt you want to see him take damage in that ring, or attempt to wrestle?
Vasco Dias: By this point itās not something Iām counting on, Iām sure he will simply get out of it, as he always does.
{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: Redcap is impressive. I know his style isnāt my favorite but he has made moves on the ladder in IWF and has been a front line soldier alongside Xavier Cross.
Terri Morasco: Never pegged you for a Redcap fan. Either that, or you hate Spike Kane that muchā¦feels so wrong with that coming out that way.
{My Heart will go on by Celine Dion begins to play, as his Trent Helms float begins to slide down the rampway, but however he is wearing a mask, more importantly a Senor Extremo mask, which was Spike Kaneās masked persona when he lost his identity before.}Trent Helms (Senor Xtremo Form): Redcap, or as I like to call you Captain Rojo, As a being who likes to hide his identity, I figured this would have been the right way to go about this. However. Someone believed that it was wise have us face one another. I know youāre ready for action, but I refuse to fight you.
Vasco Dias: What a surprise there.
Terri Morasco: They are allies in the same war.
Trent Helms (Senor Xtremo Form): However my bringer of Snickers Snacks, which speaking of which, do you have one, I am hungry. I notice and have picked up on how you are caught gifted with your tongue, There is a joke to be made there, with my wife, but heyā¦.Weāre PC here in IWF and I wonāt be making it. However there is something you donāt know about meā¦.You think youāre gifted with words Rojo? Well how about we have a Rap Battle, you may be good, but I SPIT THAT HOT FIRE!
Terri Morasco: A Rap Battle, seriously?
Trent Helms {Senor Xtreme Form}: What do youā¦
{Without Warning Redcap snatches the mic out of Trentās hand}Redcap: Spike Kane, speak the name profane, But the throne lies empty , spoken in the halls of fame, Blood God, teken to the extreme Dragon's Den arrival. Check in for the One,two, three.
What I see before is me is woeful and frighful. Talking All Bloody Hail? The title frightful. Asking me to present and check. tells me to run my mouth in front of Great Salt lake.
But this God ain't wise, prenting all his truth. But Trent Helms lies, spinning about himself like a cacoon he goes. Unable to create his own legend so he buys an empty throne, but wait no.
Spike Kane he's legit, helping out his family after taping up his fists. But you you desecrate the name. Stashing the dollar and be hoarding' the gains whilst the Ultra Plus Championship is a joke that leaves a stain.
So listen, Near far wherever your are your destination Titanic,
Redcap's wreckin' you like an Iceberg and Kate Winslet.
jacking dimonds and your Championship. You didn't wnna wrestle so you came came to drop bars.
But you forget that my procedure makes me a level twenty bard.
So I'm casting Magic missle , rustle up my counterspell and checkmate.
You're in a Disastrous postion.
Your move.
{Redcap holds out the mic for Trent to grab, before he drops it on the mat, Trent goes to pick it up when suddenly the lights go out, when they turn back on, the ring is surrounded by thirty or so Pack Acolytes, Who immediately pull Redcap out of the ring}
Vasco Dias: What in the hell, why are they here?
Terri Morasco: Maybe Rowan and Dean figured this was the best time to allow her thralls to gain a measure of revenge for that attack two weeks ago?
Vasco Dias: Makes sense, Both these men were apart of that.
{Redcap is holding his own, as he begins to kick away at the men, trying to pull him out of the ring, He is holding on to the bottom rope for dear life, but so far they havenāt managed to even get him out of the ring, they entire group seems focused on Redcap, and donāt seem to even care for Trent, perhaps knowing heās not going to be bothered to do anything}Vasco Dias: Redcap is holding his own right now, but itās clearly going to overwhelm him soon enough. But why isnāt Spike helping, Arenāt they on the same page being apart of Team Free Will?
Terri Morasco: Even thru heās appointed himself as the Leader of the group, Spike may only be apart of the group in name only.
Vasco Dias: We need to get out of here.
{Redcap manages to free himself, crawling back in the ring, one of the Acolytes gets on the ring apron but is met with a Enzuguri that knocks him back into the others, as they being to slide into the ring, from the other side, Trent just throws his hands up as they run past him, Redcap climbs to the top rope, noticing he is surrounded with no escape when he notices the Giant Float Trent Helms came down to the ring on, He shrugs and leaps, managing to land on it, as the Acolytes try to readjust to there target, He leaps off the very top of the float with a Beltain Bomb, flipping thru the air and taking out a huge group of them}IWF Galaxy: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!
{Redcap took out a good chunk of them, but the numbers are too many, and he may of hurt himself diving from such a height, as they begin to lay into him, back in the ring, a group of five of the Acolytes surround Trent, now that Redcap is subdued, who says he wants no part of this. They begin to swarm in when suddenly, The lights go off, and several blue lights begin to flash, You hear the sound of body flying, When they turn back on, Trent is just standing there, with the Senor Xtremo mask pulled off, and all five Acolytes on the ground. The commotion, allows Redcap to manage to turn the tables, allowing him to begin to fight them off. Realizing they may be outmatched, they being to retreat, Trent Helms climbs up to the turnbuckle, and celebrates, as Redcap chases off the remaining Acolytes when suddenly Trent is pulled off the turnbuckle, by Warren Kane, slamming him down against the mat, Trent struggles up to his feet, as Warren has grabbed the Beyond Plus Ultra Championship and smashes it against the skull of āHis Fatherā He quickly slides out of the ring, as Redcap rushes into the ring, but the damage already done, as Trent face is gushing blood as he head to commercial}------------------------------------
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT Uriel gets his
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Oh, what? Something is happening backstage!
Vasco Dias: Someone get a camera back there!
{The feed opens on Uriel sending stiff right hands to the head and body of Jayson Matthews who is cornered against a wall.}Uriel Black: Coward! Worm! You dare ambush me?! You DARE?!
{Uriel grabs Jayson by the throat and just choke tosses him into a bunch of shipping crates and pipes. Jayson lays there in the wreckage, out of it. As security rush the scene and break up the fight.}Uriel Black: You want the Lord? Fine! At Extreme Endurance, I will send you to His judgment!
Terri Morasco: My goodness, the power of Uriel Black! He just threw Jayson into what looked and seemed like a car crash!
Vasco Dias: Jayson tried to send a message to God, but it looks like God sent a message right back. Looks like he got it loud and clear.
{EMTs check on Matthews and security drags a sneering Black away as the scene fades.}------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHRowan MacDonnough vs Kimberly Williams
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Terri Morasco: This match feels a little uneven.
Vasco Dias: Rowan is going to murder someone live on TV tonight.
Terri Morasco: Donāt joke about that!
Vasco Dias: Whose Joking?
Alison Valance: Coming down to the ring first, standing at 5ā2āā and 118 poundsā¦ KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!
{Go Go Power Rangers begins to blast across the speakers as it does thatās when Kimberly makes her way out from behind the curtain accompanied by her husband Todd Williams. She does a cartwheel before she sprints down the ring clapping the hands of the fans. She quickly slides into the ring. T-Will grins, as he breaks out into some hip hopkido on the outside of the ring.} Terri Morasco: Kimberly Williams looks like sheās ready to go tonight.
Vasco Dias: Being ready to go is not going to save her here tonight.
Alison Valance: Coming down to the ring 5ā10 and 145 poundsā¦ The Wolf of the Abyss, ROWAN MacDonnough!
{Lights out. The opening chords of āTrip the Darknessā by the Lacuna Coil roar from the speakers, and red smoke billows from either side of the entranceway as Rowan MacDonnough stalks out from behind the curtain, golden eyes glinting in the red light as they shift from side to side. The stage and ramp are lit by swirling red light, but everything else remains dark. As the chorus begins, enticing the listeners to follow, she lopes forward, unconsciously rolling her wrists as her eyes bore a hole in the air before her. The smoke seems to follow her down the ramp as she walks, reaching up and grabbing the middle rope with one hand. Rowan hauls herself up onto the apron, standing and ducking between the middle and top rope to step inside the ring. She straightens up, slowly pacing towards the center of the ring as a spiraling pattern of red light appears on the mat, and her eyes scan the crowd, head moving in a jerky, animalistic pattern. She slowly, reluctantly backs towards a corner, eyes constantly moving as she settles in to wait for the bell.} Terri Morasco: I hate that entrance.
Vasco Dias: Itāsā¦starting to grow on me, Iāll be honest.
{Rowan looks across the ring at Kimberly who is waving at the crowd. As soon as the bell rings, Rowan seems to be waiting for Kimberly to make the first move.} Terri Morasco: Itās a trap. Donāt fall for it Kimberly.
Vasco Dias: Sheās going to die.
Terri Morasco: She might not. Stop talking like that.
Vasco Dias: What Iāve seen from Rowan in her time in IWF I canāt imagine her giving an engraved invitation to give the opening to be anything less than a trap she will use to maul someone.
{Kimberly shrugs and hits Rowan with a spinning heel kick. She follows this up with a flurry of kicks.} Terri Morasco: Kimberly going after Rowan with her kicks makes a smart move. Keeps her away from a lot of the damage.
Vasco Dias: But anything that Rowan can grab onto is a bad idea.
{As Kimberly goes for a hurricanrana Rowan grabs her leg and punches her in the knee causing Kimberly to fall to the mat Rowan picks her up and throws her across the mat, Kimberly scrambles to get away from Rowan.} Terri Morasco: Kimberly needs to get away from her.
Vasco Dias: I told you! I told you she was going to kill her!
{Kimberly stands up on the other side of the ring before going for another spinning heel kick that Rowan blocks and hits her in the knee again. Kimberly crumbles and drops to the mat.} Terri Morasco: Rowan seems to have picked her target.
Vasco Dias: Just lay down Kim and let it happen.
{Rowan picks Kimberly up and hitting Freya with Repeated Muay Thai knees to the head.} Terri Morasco: Ouch. Justā¦Ouch.
Vasco Dias: Rowan is making an example of Kimberly.
{Rowan paces back and forth as Kimberly gets back to her feet, clearly favoring her knee that rowan has hit. Kimberly hits Rowan with a Russian leg sweep but the Wolf of the Abyss kicks Kimberly knee. Rowan grabs her and hits her with a repeated European Uppercut, knocking Kimberly back but picking her back up to do it all over again.} Terri Morasco: Rowan isnāt letting Kimberly get an easy win but sheās clearly playing with her here.
Vasco Dias: Itās the way Rowan is.
{Rowan hits her with an inverted facelock backbreaker spun into a neck breaker. Rowan walks around her an looks at her bruised knee and does a knee drop right on top of it as Kimberly screams in pain. Todd yells at the ref but the ref tells Todd to go back to the outside. Rowan picks her up and hits her with a low drop kick to the same knee causing Kimberly to fall face down to the mat in front of Rowan.} Terri Morasco: Todd wants this match to stop and I honestly canāt blame him for that.
Vasco Dias: Rowan has proved her point. Kimberly is in pain. Let this end. Please let it end.
{Rowan moves away from Kim letting her get up before dropping a Beast of War on the girl knocking her down to the mat again.} Terri Morasco: Did you hear that sound? My stomach dropped.
Vasco Dias: No. No, itās going to be okay.
{Kimberly struggles to her knees, Rowan shakes her head and hits her with BALORāS GAZE!} Terri Morasco: Rowan isnāt holding back anymore. Sheās going to leave Kimberly a bloody mess in the middle of the ring. I canāt see this happen again. I justā¦ I canāt Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Sheās beaten Rowan, just pin her and get this over with. Please, please let this end.
{Kimberly is laying sprawled on the mat. Rowan goes for the pin.

3} Alison Valance: And your winner ā¦ROWAN MacDonnough!!
Terri Morasco: Kimberly took a beating but she still came out of this with something to be proud of.
Vasco Dias: She escaped with her life. Thatās more than I thought she would after everything thatās happened recently.
{Rowan grabs Kimberly by the hair, lifting her head like a trophy as āTrip the Darknessā by Lacuna Coil plays.} Terri Morasco: I canāt say I look forward to seeing this continue.
Vasco Dias: Honestly? I agree with you.
------------------------------------
IN-RING SEGMENT Fiona calls out Rowan
------------------------------------
{As Rowan is heading up the ramp, the Rock Remix of Fight Song by Rachel Platten plays, signaling Fiona McFly to slowly strut out onto the stage, her whip in hand. Rowan stops walking briefly as Fiona slowly levels the whip directly at her, eyes firm and challenging.}
Fiona McFly: Remember me?
{Fiona says nothing more, simply pointing the whip towards Rowanā¦ who continues walking forward, seeming utterly unconcerned.}
Rowan MacDonnough: ā¦ No.
{Rowan brushes past Fiona without so much as a second glance, vanishing backstage and leaving Fiona alone on the stage, frustration clear in her face at the rebuff.}
Vasco Dias: Was Fiona trying to challenge Rowan to a rematch?
Terri Morasco: I think soā¦ but it looks like Rowan didnāt care!
Vasco Dias: Sheās been asking for another shot at the Wolf of the Abyssā¦ I wonder what sheāll do now?
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHJason Sandman vs Andrew Jacobsen
------------------------------------
Ring Announcer Alison Valance: āThis next contest is scheduled for one fall.ā
{Am I a Psycho comes on the speakers and as it begins Deal With It Bitch Productions Presents logo come on the Teletron. When the opening words are heard the name of Jason Sandman shows up on the teletron. Jason Sandman comes out of the entranceway and as he raises his singapore cane and a steel chair wrapped in barbwire in the air pyro shoots off. Jason Sandman runs down to the ring, throwing the cane and chair over before sliding under the ropes.} Alison Valance: āIntroducing first, from Norfolk, Virginia and weighing in at 285 poundsā¦.. āThe New Age Punisherā Jason Sandman!ā
{The opening riff of "Unbreakable" plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and as the drums kick in Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp, Danielle Chase a step behind him. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side with a wide grin on his face. Andrew looks dead ahead at the ring, cracking his neck, and throws his arms out and head back as a burst of red and green pyro goes off to either side of him. Andrew and Danielle walk down the ramp, Andrew high-fiving fans as he goes, and he pulls himself up onto the apron, looking around at the fans with an infectious grin on his face. He climbs through the second rope and walks to a corner, checking his gloves and talking with Danielle as he waits for the match to start.} Alison Valance: āAnd his opponent, from Minneapolis, Minnesota and weighing in at 235 poundsā¦. āThe North Starā Andrew Jacobsen!ā
Terri Morasco: āAnd this is a match that I didnāt think we ever would see. Andrew Jacobsen, our former World Champion, battling a returning Jason Sandman. And from what Iāve heard, Andrew Jacobsen would not leave the office of Jess Fowler until this match was signed. He wants revenge for what Jason Sandman did, and I canāt blame him.ā
Vasco Dias: āNighthawk and Andrew Jacobsen have always had a close friendship, even as Andrew Jacobsen ascended to the role of the Ace of the company. That friendship was strained slightly when Ethan King returned, but I donāt think anyone seriously thought that Andrew Jacobsen was going to let what happened slide.ā
{As the referee rings the bell Andrew Jacobsen rushes at Jason Sandman with a jumping forearm strike before landing a flurry of open-hand forearm strikes to the chest and face that back āThe Devilās Right Handā up into a corner. Letting out a war cry Andrew goes for a running European uppercut in the corner only to be caught with a massive lariat in mid-air as Andrew crumples to the mat like he was shot at close range with an elephant gun. Leaning against the ropes, snorting and looking like an angry bull, Jason pulls Andrew up to his feet by his hair and lands a series of short hammerfists to the chest before tying the Minnesotan in the ropes and then nailing him with a running European uppercut. Smiling as Andrew slumps in between the ropes to the mat Jason covers, grinding the bone of his forearm across the face to inflict a little bit more punishment, but only manages to get a two-count. Screaming in frustration Jason stands the āNorth Starā up to his feet and goes for another lariat only for Andrew to sidestep it and immediately attempt a Borealis that also gets a 2-count.} Terri Morasco: Jason Sandman is doing everything he can to get an advantage here. But Andrew is making him fight for it.
Vasco Dias: When you are in the ring with Andrew Jacobsen itās hard to keep
{AJ lets Sandman up before hitting him with a snap suplex to the mat. Jason pushes him off with a rolling elbow. Aj backs off, Sandman follows him, hitting him with a GORE to the back, knocking AJ into the turnbuckle. Sandman hits him with a german suplex knocking AJ down to the mat. Aj gets back up and he goes into a grapples with Sandman.} Terri Morasco: Getting into a grapple here might not have been the best idea. Itās hard to know how things will go from here.
Vasco Dias: Sandman has some muscle that AJ doesnāt. But Andrew has that maddeningly Never say die attitude. Itās hard to know how this will go.
{Sandman tries pushing AJ into the ropes to get him to let go but AJ holds tight and pushes back against Sandman. AJ manages to get the upper hand and hit him with a half nelson suplex.} Vasco Dias: AJ trying to get the upper hand here but who knows if it will be enough?
Terri Morasco: I wouldnāt sell Andrew short here. Heās battling for his friend. You donāt know how that might inspire someone to do great things even when things are against them.
Vasco Dias: What? Is he going to win by remembering the power of friendship or something? Donāt be a child, Terri.
{Sandman bounces back with a delayed overhead suplex. He picks AJ up and hits him with an Iron claw STO. Knocking AJ down to the mat.} Vasco Dias: see that raw power? Thatās what Sandman brings to the table. That kind of strength cannot be denied.
Terri Morasco: The match isnāt over yet, Vasco. Andrew still has time to make this work.
{AJ hits him with a legsweep. AJ then hits him with a dragon screw legwhip.} Terri Morasco: see? Andrew can still win this.
Vasco Dias: Maybe. But Sandman isnāt done yet. Not by a long shot.
{Aj hits him with a LIGHTS OUT. Sandman hits the mat hard and lays there a moment.} Terri Morasco: This might be it!
Vasco Dias: Booo!
{AJ goes for the pin

3!!} Terri Morasco: He did it!!
Alison Valance: And winner by pinfallā¦. ANDREW JACOBSEN!
{As āUnbreakableā plays thru the PA system AJ gets up off of Sandman, clearly saying something to him before having his arm raised by the ref.} Vasco Dias: So Andrew won the match. If I understand things correctly Jason will be facing Nighthawk once again.
Terri Morasco: I believe Nighthawk will able able to hand him easily now that he isnāt being attacked from behind.
Vasco Dias: Who can say?

VIDEO SEGMENT Extreme Endurance Hype Package
------------------------------------
{The video package opens on the IWF logo as the opening chords of For the Glory plays, before the scene shifts to crowds of people cheering, holding signs, and walking into a packed arena. We see shots of the various wrestlers of the company fighting one another over the past months ā focusing on the intense, brutal shots that they take when matches get truly violent.}
Jess Fowler: The IWF is legendary for its willingness to go harder and farther than any other athletic competition in the world.
āBetter back down! Youāre in my domain ā got the whole crowd screaming out my name!āJess Fowler: Our talent put themselves and one another through the most brutal and grueling gauntlet of pain and endurance than any other sport on the planetā¦ but NOTHING compares to what they do to one another when the name of the show dares them to go harder and farther than ever before. If thereās one show that defines the heart and soul of the IWFā¦ it might just be extreme endurance.
{The video shows clips of the long running feud between Jason Sandman and Nighthawk, the two men laying into one another with increasing loathing and violent intent.}
Nighthawk: Sandmanās been a brute and a bully for as long as Iāve known him. I know damn well that Extreme Endurance is going to be playing to his advantage, but thereās a reason that Iām STILL here today. Itās that no matter how ruthless, how strong, how savage my opponents think they are, thereās NOTHING that Iām not willing to put myself through to see it to the other side. Sandman might think heās the strongest, but I can ENDURE anything he can throw at me!
āItās a blowout! Itās a hurricane! Itās overā¦ before you know it!ā
Jason Sandman: Tristan. Weāve been doing this dance for years, but if you think that means youāre prepared for what Iām going to do to you in that match? Iām gonna show you just how extreme I can get. Youāve been a naughty boy, Tristan. Time for daddyās belt.
{The scenes shift to the continued feud between Warren and Trent, Trent laughing with a devil-may-care grin as Warren grows increasingly furious.}
Warren Kane: You want to talk Extreme? You want to talk about endurance? Let me tell you what Iām going to do to Trent Fucking Helms at Extreme Endurance, then. I may have had a complicated relationship with my father, but that doesnāt mean that Iām going to sit back and let him shit all over his name. I donāt care what empire he thinks he has out there ā all the science and ābody energyā in the world canāt save you when the demons come howling at your door.
āWhy you shaking? Weāre a dynasty in the making! Weāre the royalty!ā
Trent Helms: Am I meant to be scared about that? Ha! I am Spike Kane. I am the god of extreme! I am giving you something you never had before, a loving relationship with your father. Why wonāt you just let me love you, Warren? All I want to do is give you the love you deserve. Come here, let me hug you.
{We see shots of Maxine fighting Hope FHK. We see shots of Maxine injuring Shea OāHara, then winning the match and taking the Open Weight Belt in her arms. We see Fiona coming back to the ring, see her impassioned speeches, see her fighting Kate Steele and the match where Rowan killed her.}
Maxine Valentine: Fiona McFly is nothing. This belt is mine once more. I beat the girl who would be queen. I have only begun to show the IWF what true carnage I am capable of unleashing. There is no one who can stop me.
āNow weāre breakingā¦ down the enemy! Move overā¦ the soldiers are taking over!ā
Fiona McFly: I will stop you. Too long this company has been scared of The Pack. Too long have we allowed ourselves to be bullied by you and yours. Iām not sure what is right or what is wrong. But I know I hate bullies. And thatās all you are. Iām going to take that belt from you at Extreme Endurance!
{Showing Oracle popping up in the middle of the Apocalypse match and attacking Pooler. Highlight of the video of Oracle torturing Pooler being played. Bobās return to the ring, the match against Oracle where he went out of his way to get himself disqualified. Oracle sitting at the right hand of God. Bob fighting to make things right but turning a corner and seeing Oracle, panic but Oracle seems to have disappeared from the hall.}
Bob Pooler: this ends, Oracle. You canāt keep coming into my life and trying to destroy me. I am not going to let you terrorize me any longer. You need to be taught a lesson. You canāt keep following your cult and expecting no repercussions. We are ending it this time. You and me. This ends. Iām going to put you down.
āTake a swing, I can take a hitā¦ If we die its fine, ācos we life for thisā¦ Itās all for thisā¦ā
The Oracle: You have forsaken God. You are a Heretic of the largest order. God is trying to save the IWF and you all fight against him. Fall on your knees and ask his forgiveness or be purged with the Hoard.
{Shots of Dawn going after Ciara and beating her senseless in the ring and her standing tall with her hand raised in the area. A mash up of her promos since she joined the Age of Gods showing her new found devotion. The iron grip sheās had in the ring, the merciless way she acts in the ring. Taking out Alexis as she holds up the Luchadora belt. Charity being a part of the Best Friends Club. Her comforting Ciara after the beating. Charity attacking Dawn backstage.}
Dawn Halliwell: You may think that you can worm your way into a victory through your addiction to your pride, Charity Crowneā¦ but you are too soft to stand and endure in a war such as this. Your view is limited. You think that you matter in the face of the war of the divine for the very soul of the world? Your hubris can only be answered in one way.
āWeāre gonna stand on top, with our hands in the sky! Gonna raise our cup to the stadium lights ā For the glory!ā
Charity Crowne: Iāve been sitting around for too bloody long listening to maniacs spouting on about how their holy or unholy whatever nonsense makes them more important. Well Iām DONE being told that I should sit back for the freaks and geeks. This is MY company too, and Iāll be damned if I let you stand in my damn way for one SECOND longer!
{Shots of the growing tension between God and Mike Laszlo, including flashbacks to their previous battles.}
Mike Laszlo: Iāve been waiting for this for TOO long. Iām done with being sidelined and stuck in the shadows, Iām done with people barely even remembering that Iām still here. Iām Mike Goddamn Laszlo and I am talented enough, strong enough, and GOOD enough to be a champion in this company. I deserve this, and Iām going to take it. I beat you before, and I'll do it again!
āWe celebrate with the city tonight! Hear the hometown cheer, itās the ultimate high! For the glory!ā
God: Prove it, child.
{A few clips of the first match Brooklyn and Vivienne had when Vivienne first entered the company. Brooklyn joining the Pack. Brooklyn standing tall with the Womenās World champion belt. A number of clips showing the victories sheās accomplished since getting the belt. Images of Brooklyn standing tall every time. Clips of Vivienneās victories as Open Weight Champion. Their last match where it was interrupted by The Age of Gods and Best Friends Club}
Brooklyn Madrox: You think you are a champion for the innocent and the weak. You think your good heart means you have a chance against me? Look at the names before you who thought they could dethrone me and despair, Vivienne.
āYeah weāve waited for this all to come! Calculated everything weāve done! Weāve upgraded! Now you canāt outrun a champion ā NOW YOUāRE FACING ONE!ā
Vivienne Rodgers: Iām not naive enough to think that if I take the belt from you it will stop you. But if Iām standing in your way there is no one else you can hurt. Iām willing to take that chance to keep the rest of the women in the locker room safe from your wrath, Brooklyn.
{A collection of images of Xavier and Dean interacting over the last year, Dean standing to the side of Rowan when she was in The Council. Dean attacking The Council in 2017 Heir to the Throne. Dean fighting Xavier in tag matches. The video package of Dean with Xavier tied up. The match where Xavier had been saved by Spike Kane. The Man of Steel match where Dean dropped Xavier on his spin. Xavierās road to recovery, his returned matches. Dean winning the Dragonās Den, Menās World title and Spike Kaneās death. The wins Xavier got during Heir to the Throne and the image of Dean standing on the outside of the ring clapping.}
RedCap: āHopeā is the thing with feathered wings. I stand beside a friend once foe. I stand for those who cannot. I take the burden, I carry the pain. I stand with feathered wings.
āCan you hear them? Yea itās all for us. You believe them ā yeah itās serious. Hear the siren? Weāre victorious ā Iām telling you: Forever! CAN I GET A HELL YEAH!ā
Xavier Cross: Do you know how hard Iāve worked to get here, to stand across from you? One way or another weāre going to fight this out Dean. You get to make a choice here Dean. Team Free Will. I think there is someone worth saving, donāt you?
āWeāre gonna stand on top, with our hands in the sky! Gonna raise our cup to the stadium lights ā For the glory!ā
Dean Harper: Iām going enjoying breaking you, Sweetheart. The belt is mine and there is nothing you can do to beat me. I am always more willing to push my body further than you are. I am always willing to do what needs to be done. Youāre not capable of that. Youāve never beaten me and you never will.
āWe celebrate with the city tonight! Hear the hometown cheer, itās the ultimate high! For the glory!ā
{There is a rapid fire sequence of shots hyping all of the matches discussed so far, rushing forward into a frenzy of action, blood and pain before they all go black... then slowly transitioning to the Extreme Endurance title plaque.}
āWe do it for the glory!ā

SINGLES MATCHMike Laszlo vs Oracle
------------------------------------
{ We cut backstage to Uriel Black and The Oracle making their way to gorilla before the next match up, Uriel still holding his neck from the earlier altercation with Jayson Matthews. }Vasco Dias: Next up Mike Laszlo looks to box with God by taking on his disciple-
{ Vasco is immediately cut off as a chair slams into the back of the head of Uriel Black and takes him off his feet. Oracle turns just in time to catch the chair and have it superkicked directly into his face! }Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
Terri Morasco: Mike Laszlo is looking to even the playing fields before his Extreme Championship match against Angel Blake!
{ Laszlo doesnāt let up as he turns back to Black and pulls him up to his feet and sends him face first into the brick wall. Laszlo grabs Uriel and bounces his face off the wall. }Vasco Dias: There is going to be hell to pay for this!!!
Terri Morasco: If anyone knows what it takes to bring Blake to his knees itās Mike Laszlo!
{ Laszlo grabs another steel chair and stands it up. Uriel is stagger but Mike hoists him and then drops right onto the steel chair with MALICIOUS INTENT!!! }Terri Morasco: Uriel is down!
{ Mike turns his attention back to Oracle who is getting to his feet and rushes in to connect with a hard right hand, then a left and then another right. Laszlo grabs Oracle and runs him into the steps that lead to the stage! }Terri Morasco: Laszlo is relentless!
Vasco Dias: Heās going to suffer the wrath of God!
{ Laszlo starts to pull Oracle up to his feet again. }Terri Morasco: Iām getting word that we need to go to a break!
Vasco Dias: We canāt go to a break no-
{ Vasco is cut off again as we fade out on Mike leading Oracle out onto the stage. We cut into āThe World is Yoursā by Arch Enemy as we are treated to a highlight package of the long simmering feud between Xavier Cross and Dean Harper before closing on a voice over. }Live! This Sunday! Only on the IWF Network. Xavier Cross versus Dean Harper for the IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! First month free for new subscribers!!!
{ A still shot of Xavier and Dean face to face is the last thing we see before we head back to the action. We see a rewind of Laszlo shoulder blocking Oracle into the steel ring post! }Vasco Dias: The mayhem continued all through the commercial break!
Terri Morasco: Mike Laszlo has been having his way with the Oracle!
Vasco Dias: It helps that he jumped him from behind!
{ Laszlo starts to rail Oracle with punches to the head before pulling him off the post and throwing him face first right back into it! }Terri Morasco: Laszlo is a man possessed tonight!
Vasco Dias: Laszlo is playing with fire and heās going to get burned!
{ Laszlo finally rolls the Oracle into the ring and follows him in. Slowly Mike pulls the Oracle back up to his feet then lifts him up into a vertical suplex position. Laszlo screams āWHEREāS YOUR GOD NOW!?ā Then drops The Oracle with NO MERCY!!! The Oracle is flat on his back and Laszlo arrogantly pins him, counting his own ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Terri Morasco: Laszlo giving himself a win here.
Vasco Dias: First, that doesnāt count. Second-
{ Mike calls for a mic as he stands over The Oracle. }Mike Laszlo: Where is your God now!? HUH!?
{ Laszlo stomps the chest of the Oracle. }Mike Laszlo: NOWHERE! Because he isnāt A God. He isnāt THE God. Heās a man! A MORTAL! Flesh and blood just like you and me! I proved it once four years ago and at Extreme Endurance Iām going to prove it again!
Vasco Dias: Only took him three tries last timeā¦
Terri Morasco: But he did it!
Mike Laszlo: Iām going to break you. But not just in any old extreme rules match. NO! I want you locked inside a steel cell! Because āGODā Iām going to take you STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!
{ Laszlo throws the mic down as his music kicks in. }Terri Morasco: Did you hear that!? Mike Laszlo wants to face Angel Blake inside and Extreme Rules Cell Match!?
Vasco Dias: I donāt think Laszlo is going to be taking God anywhereā¦
{ As Mike hops out of the ring the lights suddenly go out. A bright spot light shines down from the ceiling lighting up a singular spot on the stage where Angel Blake now stands in full golden regalia. His voice booms through out the arena without his mouth moving an inch. }God: The only one going to hell is youā¦
{ Mike sneers but then shoots Blake a cocky grin. }Vasco Dias: Laszlo is really looking to have his ass handed to him, isnāt he?
Terri Morasco: I think Mike is playing his cards perfectly. Get inside Angelās head, expose him for being-
Vasco Dias: You canāt expose God!
{ The lights suddenly come back on in the arena and Blake is gone. Laszlo looks around and grins before heading up the ramp. }
Well howdy there pardner.
