A word from Management
------------------------------------
{The scene opens with Jess Fowler sitting behind the desk and looking calm.}
Jess Fowler: Things in the IWF are fine. Despite the end of Extreme Endurance, I have been assured that our world Champion is safe and sound. All IWF employees who went to the compound are safe. Everything is fine, there is nothing to be---
{The feed gets glitchy, the color changes and a camera comes on to Rowan sitting in a living room of a house, sitting on a couch as she pushes down a family photo.}
âLadies and Gentlemen of the Imperial Wrestling Federation. We interrupt this message to deliver a warning. Last week something precious was taken from me against his will in a violation of the hospitality I so graciously offered. You rewarded my promises of protection whilst within my domain with treachery and theft. This... will not be permitted to stand."
{The camera glitches out, a flash of Jess at his desk before Rowanâs eyes flash dangerously.}
âYou have until the end of this broadcast to return him to me. If you do not, then innocents will begin to suffer. Nothing will get between me and my Most Loyal, and every day you continue to withhold him from me, the intensity of the atrocities I inflict will grow. This will be your only warning. You made a mistake pushing me. Dare not do so further."

Play time
------------------------------------
{ The camera transitions to Fabian Graves moments before his debut. His braids hand down over his face as he shifts his weight back and forth, his hands unable to stop moving as he licks his lips. The view is obscured from a stack of crates from the sound system, catching Fabian, framed with his surroundings obscured. Fabian turns his back to the camera with a sudden and jerky movement, crouched and ready to pounce, then he stands up straight. }
Fabian Graves: Itâs just you. Is it really smart to lurk like that?
Voice: Lurk, lurk, lurk! I love to lurk. Itâs exhilarating. Heâs here you know.
Fabian Graves: Could you be more vague? Thereâs an infinite number is âhimâ in an infinite number of places.
Voice: The Angel is here. HE wants the Angel.
Fabian Graves: The Angel? My interest is piqued. Thereâs actually something of interest here.
Voice: You need to bring HIM The Angel.
{ The cameraman inches from behind the crates to catch the view of the unknown voice but as he notices thereâs no one there, the camera shakes ever so slightly. }
Fabian Graves: You need to desist from giving me orders, it never ends well for either of us. Iâll let it go this once, now come to the ring with me.
{ The camera pans but notices nothing. Then he shuffles left and catches the lips of Fabian, which start to move but his voice is too raspy for Fabian, yet quite familiar. }
Voice: Of course. Maybe I can come out and play as well...
{ Fade to Black. }

SINGLES MATCH
Todd Williams vs Fabian Graves
------------------------------------
{ Todd Williams bounces back and forth in the ring awaiting his opponent as we come back from a break. }
Vasco Dias: Terri, I am very excited for this match tonight. Todd Williams going one on one against IWFâs newest hire. Fabian Graves!
Terri Morasco: Fabian has been making a name for himself on the independent circuit, his unique style caught the interest of IWF and here he is.
Vasco Dias: This guy is a future champion, unlike his opponent, Todd.
{ The lights go out, followed by flashing white and red lights. The opening chords to Metallicaâs âThe Frayed End of Sanityâ queues up. The fans start to chant along with the opening of the song: âOh-e-oh, oh-ah...oh-e-h, oh, ahâ. Not long after that Fabian Graves rips through the curtain to the state with a wild and manic look on his face. Heâs followed closely by Holly Hyde and Gavin Good. Fabian doesnât even give them a second though, he sprints straight to the ring and slips under the bottom rope before going to a random counter. He takes off his torn leather jacket and tosses it aside before he slinks down into the corner, taking a seat as he grasps the ropes. }
Vasco Dias: Look at this guy, Terri, heâs legit.
Terri Morasco: From everything Iâve heard about Fabian Graves he is definitely not to be taken lightly.
Vasco Dias: Fabian was custom made for the Extreme division.
Terri Morasco: God yes.
{ Todd continues bouncing while Fabian is still seated in the corner. The referee calls for the bell and Todd cautiously moves out of his corner while Fabian still stays down. }
Vasco Dias: Fabian playing possum here.
Terri Morasco: Todd needs to be careful.
{ Fabian suddenly explodes out of the corner with a leaping leg lariat that catches Todd completely off guard! }
Vasco Dias: Explosive leg lariat!
Terri Morasco: He lured Todd in!
{ Todd starts to get up but Fabian hits a harsh hooking clothes line that sends Todd right back down onto his back. Williams again tries to get up but Fabian is on him with a leap frog tranisitioned into a bulldog! }
Vasco Dias: He calls that Grave Danger!
Terri Morasco: Impressive move!
{ Todd tries to get up again but Fabian doesnât let him and instead sends Williams shoulder first into the ring post! Todd yelps in pain as Fabian tears him out of the ropes and spins him around for a hard standing clotheslines! Todd backs into the corner and Fabian grabs the top rope and delivers harsh tow kicks to the midsection of Todd until Williams slumps down to the mat and the referee is forced to pull Fabian back. }
Vasco Dias: Graves is dishing out the pain here!
Terri Morasco: Todd needs to create some distance and regroup!
{ Todd starts to climb to his feet as Fabian pushes past the referee. Todd hits a surprise back elbow to the face of Graves. Todd fires off three rapid European upper cuts that drive Graves backward. Todd smiles and screams he means business then connects with the Sweet Dreams superkick sending Graves into the corner! }
Terri Morasco: Williams is on the attack!
Vasco Dias: But can he keep it up!?
{ Fabian turns to his side, talking to himself he seems then he reaches out and slaps the air over the apron as Todd looks on confused. Fabian climbs out onto the apron and says âhave at him then!â to the empty space in front of him. }
Vasco Dias: Did Fabian just tag out to the invisible man?
Terri Morasco: Sure seems that way.
{ Todd puts his hands on his hips like what the hell is going on. Fabian is still arguing with the empty air and finally Todd has had enough of the shenanigans and walks over to Fabian. But Fabian suddenly launches himself back into the ring with a slingshot cutter! }
Vasco Dias: REALITY LOSS!
Terri Morasco: I guess the invisible man tagged out!?
{ Fabian starts to stomp a literal mudhole in the downed Todd Williams. }
Vasco Dias: Todd shouldnât have let his guard down.
{ Fabian rips Todd off the mat and sends him into the corner, Graves follows him in with a running jumping boot to the face! Todd staggers out and Graves grabs him, lifts him up into the air in vertical suplex position then brings him down into an inverted DDT!!! }
Vasco Dias: THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS!!!
Terri Morasco: There is no way Todd is getting up from that!
{ Fabian hooks both legs of Todd and doubles him up in the pin. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Vasco Dias: Fabian Graves picks up the first of what Iâm sure will be many wins here in IWF!
Terri Morasco: Incredible first showing. Fabian has put the roster on notice.
{ Fabian stands up and rips his arm away from the referee, continuing to have an argument with whoever it was he tagged out to as we head to a commercial break. }

Gilmore, a habitual under tipper

The following ad is brought to you by Rob Diamond, Make America Nude Again.
{ The opening tunes of P.O.D.âs âYouth of the Nationâ soothes your ears as we see a shot of James Gilmore taking a photo with a hard working waiter at a fine establishment, his face blurred but his business bright yellow logo against a red shirt is proudly displayed. }
âJames Gilmore. Proud supporter of the working class.â
{ A video surveillance image shows James Gilmore being handed a fine plastic tray of East Texasâ highest quality McBurger. The video slows as James coat blatantly and disrespectfully brushes over the top jar. }

{ Rob looks back to the image of him just flat out ignoring the tip jar. }
Rob Diamond: James Gilmore doesnât like to spread the wealth around. Despite being a well off professional wrestler and former business owner, James Gilmore flat out refuses to tip the customary ten percent, if he even tips at all.
{ Hard cut to Rob walking proudly into a fine dining establishment while talking to the camera. }
Rob Diamond: As a man of the people I always make sure to tip at least twenty percent, sometimes more.
{ Rob takes a seat as a busty employee makes her way over with some buffalo wings. Rob smiles and slips a fifty dollar bill in her blouse. }
Rob Diamond: And as the next Future President of the United States I plan to enact a mandatory gratuity charge to make sure fine hard working employees like Cherry Bomb here get what they deserve.
{ Pull back to see a young lady preparing to take the stage. }
Rob Diamond: Iâm Rob Diamond and I want to Make America Nude Again!
{ Rob turns while simultaneously pulling out a wad of one dollar bills as âCherry Pieâ begins to play through out this upper class establishment. Fade to black. }

Strobe lighting begins to flash in various colours around the arena as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain to a standing ovation. She smile and waves to the fans before steadying herself for a gentle sprint to the ring, slapping the hands of fans as she goes much to their delight.

Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed is back and sheâs looking better than ever!
Vasco Dias: She does but you have to expect her to make a run at Rowan and I just donât see that ending well.
Terri Morasco: A lot of people have tried and failed to take down RowanâŠ

SINGLES MATCH
Amber Cooke vs Kate Steele
------------------------------------
{ Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she flips off at the booing crowd. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she talks trash to the fans. Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about as the crowd boos her louder.. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans just roar back.. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin. }
Terri Morasco: Weâve got a womenâs division match next, Heiress to the throne points on the line. Kate Steele takes on Amber Cooke!
Vasco Doas: Amber Cooke hasnât been inside an IWF ring for a while, you have to wonder if there will be ring rust?
Terri Morasco: Iâm not sure ring rust is an issue for someone like Amber Cooke.
{The guitars of "War Eternal" start up and the arena is bathed in lights for a minute before Amber comes stalking as the first main riff kicks in, walking at an almost blasting pace, ignoring the crowd as she goes, sliding under the bottom rope to climb a turnbuckle and start jawing to the assembled masses before hopping off and jawing to everyone else and taking her Jacket and dog tags off to hang on a corner. Before spinning to face her opponent, or the entry way.}
Vasco Dias: As you were alluding, Amber Cooke is a power house. She relies on her strength to overcome opponents. Strength isnât exactly Kateâs strong suit.
Terri Morasco: No but Kate is quick, sheâs technical, if Kate is able to ground Cooke then she may just win this match.
{ The referee calls for the bell and both women come right at each other. Amber throws a big lariat but Kate gets under it and swings behind Amber looking for a spinning heel kick to the back of Amber! It connects.

Vasco Dias: Thatâs about the only way she beats Amber!
{ Kate is right up and heads to the ropes again, Kate springboards off but Amber rolls to her feet, Kate lands on hers and turns right into a huge lariat from Amber! }

Terri Morasco: The brute force of Cooke will be something hard to overcome!
{ Kate tries to get up but Amber takes a fist full of hair and slams Kate back down to the mat. Amber raises her boot high up and then lands a hard stomp straight across the chest of Steele. Amber drops down with a lazy pin that only gets a one count. Cooke pulls Kate up and throws her into the ropes but Kate comes back with a leaping forearm! }
Vasco Dias: Kate isnât backing down!

Vasco Dias: Amber isnât out yet!
Terri Morasco: She kicked out with authority!
{ Kate gets back to her feet and she waits for Amber to stand. Kate grabs Amber from behind and looks for the German suplex but Amber blocks it by hooking her leg around Kateâs.

Cooke stumbles backward and Kate comes right at her with another crossbody block! Amber is down but Kate isnât finished. Kate looks to lock in the Shipwreck but Amber fights her way to the corner and breaks it up. }

SINGLES MATCH
Devlin Rayen vs El Grande Malo
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Devlin Raine shocked the world one week ago when it was revealed he was the man beneath the Redcap all along!
Vasco Dias: And Devlin couldnât have returned at a more dangerous time. The Pack is essentially in control of IWF and the Age of God is their sworn enemy.
Terri Morasco: He couldnât have revealed himself at a better time. IWF needs Devlin more now than ever before!
{ The Lights Darken as the Intro of"Hysteria" by Muse starts to play, whilst the guitars ramp up Devlin emerges from the crowd wearing his jacket and the Destiny Dealer steps up on the guard railing slowly and slides under the bottom rope to salute at the crowd and then turns to keep eyes about him.}
Terri Morasco: What a huge pop for Devlin. This crowd couldnât be happier to see him without the mask.
Vasco Dias: I never cared for Devlin but I will say itâs nice he took off that ridiculous mask.
{ The house lights dim slightly as the words âOLĂâ appear on the screen. The fans begin chanting along with the music as El GrandĂ© Malo bursts out from behind the curtain. He stomps his way out to the center of the stage, bouncing up and down in time with the music. He hops up and down pointing into the air and quickly begins jogging down toward the ring, slapping the outstretched hands along the way, before sliding into the ring and heading for the nearest corner. He scales the turnbuckles and continues to hype up the chanting crowd before dropping down and pulling on the nearby top rope, stretching while waiting for the match to begin. }
Terri Morasco: Iâve got to say that Malo is endlessly entertaining but he may be out of his depth here against Devlin Raine.
Vasco Dias: Malo is a cute comedy act but Devlin is a serious competitor and while he was great as the Redcap heâs going to want to look amazing as himself again.
{ The referee calls for the bell and Devlin quickly moves in for Malo. Malo moves around the waist lock attempt and palm strikes Devlin in the back of the neck. Devlin quickly swings around on Malo and stuffs him with a front waist lock take down. Devlin quickly tries to transition into a front face lock but Malo is able to get away. }
Terri Morasco: Devlin showing off his technical expertise.
Vasco Dias: Can I call him the man of one thousand and one holds?
Terri Morasco: If you must.
{ Devlin moves in for Malo again but Malo quickly rolls over the back of Devlin who was going for the waist again. Devlin turns into Malo coming off the ropes with a springboard cross body! Malo is right up to his feet and Devlin is on him with a heaving rear waist lock take down! Malo tries to get right back up but Devlin is there with a wicked lariat! }
Terri Morasco: Malo is trying to use his speed but Devlin keeps catching him.
Vasco Dias: Iâve got a feeling Devlin has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
{ Malo nips up to his feet and leap frogs a charging Devlin. Raine turns around in the corner but Malo is right there with a monkey flip out of the corner! Devlin lands on his back and Malo is right up to the top rope and leaps off with a stalling senton! Malo hooks the leg of Devlin but itâs a quick kick out at one! }
Vasco Dias: Malo needs to keep this pace up if he wants to beat Devlin.
Terri Morasco: I agree, out pace him and hope for the best.
{ Malo is up and runs for the ropes but Devlin is right there behind him, Malo springboards off looking for a back elbow but Devlin catches him and transitions right into a bridging German suplex! The referee is there for the count but itâs only a two! Both men get to their feet and Devlin catches Malo with an armdrag take down! Malo is up but Devlin hits a basement drop kick to the knees of Malo. Devlin is up and bounces off the ropes and comes back with a hurricanrana on the kneeling Malo! }
Terri Morasco: Devlin is now matching the speed of Malo!
Vasco Dias: Maybe even surpassing it!
{ Devlin goes for the cover but only gets a two count this time. Devlin pulls Malo up to his feet but Malo hits a jawbreaker out of nowhere! Malo pops back up and hits the ropes, he springboards off and connects with a tornado ddt! Malo is right back up and Devlin stands just in time for Malo to grab him for an Exploder suplex into the corner! Malo drags Devlin out of the corner for a cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: Devlin has a lot of gas left in the tank!
Terri Morasco: No one wants to lose but thatâs double for Devlin tonight in his first match back as himself!

Vasco Dias: FLICKER FLASH!
{ One! Two! KICK OUT! }
Terri Morasco: Not yet!

Terri Morasco: Brain Dance!
{ Malo is stunned and Devlin takes the opportunity to hit the DEVDT!!! Malo is down and Devlin covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: Malo is still in this somehow.
Terri Morasco: Malo is putting up a serious fight.
{ Devlin smirks as he pulls Malo back up to his feet, he underhooks the luchador and lifts him up for the VORPAL BLADE!!! Malo is down in the center of the ring and Devlin covers him again. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner by pinfall⊠DEVLIN RAINE!!!
{ The crowd pops huge for Devlin as the referee raises his hand. }
Terri Morasco: Devlin and Malo both gave it their all but Raine was just that little bit better tonight.
Vasco Dias: Great fast paced match. Iâm glad to see Devlin Raine back to himself.
{ Devlin helps Malo up and the two raise each others hands as we head to a break. }

SINGLES MATCH
Vesna vs Kimberly Williams
------------------------------------
{ Go Go Power Rangers begins to blast across the speakers as it does thatâs 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. }
Vasco Dias: The pink ranger makes her return to IWF television.
Terri Morasco: What do you have against Kimberly Williams?
Vasco Dias: Sheâs a grown ass woman who idolizes a terrible television show from the nineties.
Terri Morasco: It wasnât that bad...
{ Jay appears at the top of the ramp as the haunting opening to Castle by Halsy begins. They wear a shining white cossack, with a flat brimmed hat. The lights of the stage point to them, causing them to glow in the light. As the music begins in earnest, smoke flows out of the opening, billowing around behind them. Their arms are held, stretched upwards. }
Jay: âThis day we are all counted as equals, for we shall all be equally blessed to witness the destruction of The Oncoming Storm!â
{ A form appears in the smoke behind Jay and as the lyrics begin Vesna walks out, wearing a hooded cloak and a mask draped across her face. Hey eyes burn with singular intensity as she gazes out across the crowd to a mixed reaction of noise.
She sways at the top of the ramp before she struts down to the ring. Jay follows with a reverent expression on their face. As the choral portion of the song begins Vesna turns to face the ramp, hands lifted into fists. Jay drops to their knees in front of her, hands and head lifted in ecclesiastical grace. When the choir drops away and the chorus begins Vesna leaps into the air. She does a graceful back flip to land on the ropes and spring over them to land in the ring. She drops to a seated position, glaring around the crowd as they erupt with noise. }
Vasco Dias: Vesna is one of the future faces of this division and a win tonight puts her in good position to lead the Heiress to the throne.
Terri Morasco: Discounting Kimberly that quickly?
Vasco Dias: Yup.
Terri Morasco: I think Kimberly may surprise you.
Vasco Dias: Not against Vesna.
{ The referee calls for the bell and both women come right for each other but Vesna connects with a quick spinning heel kick followed right up with a big time European upper cut! Kimberly is staggered. Vesna connects with a leaping knee right to the face of Kimberly and then hits a big lariat! }
Vasco Dias: Vesna is on fire!
Terri Morasco: Vesna is looking to make quick work of Kimberly here tonight!
{ Kimberly tries to get up but Vesna is right on her with a forearm smash, a knee strike, a forearm smash, a knee strike, a forearm smash, a knee strike then another big European upper cut that sends Kimberly staggering into the corner.

A Message from GOD, a warning
------------------------------------
{ You walk silently, carefully through the shadowed hallowed halls of the church in the center of Godâs community. Screams echo from behind old wooden doors. A constant shudder runs down your spine. Hairs stand on end. Before you double oak doors slowly open by themselves, hinges hundreds of years old scream out. There before you in all his glory sits the Extreme Deity, the one true God. To either side are his apostles, Uriel Black and The Oracle. Before him at his feet sits the Archangel, Dawn Halliwell who is petting the large black panther on her lap⊠}
âAt Extreme Endurance a momentous event came to pass⊠Dean Harper was freed of his darkness.â
{ A flashing image of black smoke emitting from the mouth of Dean Harper plays, the image both terrifying and exciting for the possibilities. }
âDean Harper is not the possession of Xavier Cross or Devlin Raine. He is of my flesh. My blood. Dean Harper belongs to the Family of God. He will come home.â
{ Slowly the Lord God stands, his visage shimmering in golden delight, his pale painted face arched into a terrible grin. }
âYou will heed this warning. You will give Dean Harper to me. Or you will suffer the consequences of the Wrath of God! You will be the latest victim in the Era I have dubbed Eternal Extreme.â
{ The mighty Lord God takes his seat again. A feel of foreboding washes over you. }
âDo not test me. The Lord God will prevail.â
{ Suddenly the panther lunges from the lap of Dawn Halliwell directly at you and everything fades to black. }

{ A video package begins playing to a rock-remix version of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," showing a montage of Fiona McFly at various stages of her life... }
"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion"
{ ...including home movie footage of the famous 1994 go-kart race in the Texas Hill Country. We see photos of Fiona from her high school and college graduation ceremonies... }
"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?"
{ ...until we finally see an image of her standing next to the late Jack Gaither on their wedding day. The black-and-white photo fades down as... }
"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me..."
{ ...a blast of pyro goes off as the song kicks into high gear. We see Fiona hopping onto the stage with a rugged smile on her face, looking around at the cheering crowd as she twirls a replica of her trusty bullwhip around and around. She strolls down the rampway, hugging and high-fiving folks along the way before handing the replica whip to a child as a souvenir. }

Terri Morasco: Fionaâs road towards the Heiress Begins!
Vasco Dias: Câmon Terri after Max last week sheâs got to be dejected and fired up, lets see some fire works!
{The relentless opening chords of "Vortex" by Los Savants crash out as Gabriela Luna dashes out onto the stage, throwing her fist into the air to the cheers of the crowd. She shouts at the crowd, beckoning them on with her hands, and grins widely at them before turning and charging down the ramp. Gabriela leaps and slides feet-first under the bottom rope, rolling to her feet and coming up with a defiant shout of joy. She runs over to the nearest empty corner, leaping up onto the second turnbuckle and further beckoning the crowd on before hopping down into a crouch and waiting for the match to start and circling the ring as Fiona mirrors her actions}
Alison Valance: Standing at 5'0" weighing in at 105 and hailing from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, GABRIELLA LUNA!
{Fiona advances even as Gabriela comes forwards to meet Fionaâs fighters stance with a dropkick right out of the gate, Fiona manages to swipe to one side and try for a knee drop but Gabriela is quick to her feet and heading for a rope, ducking under a punch handspringing herself off the ropes to a flying round house that Fiona ducks just barely as Gabriella lands on her feet with to keep moving Fiona turning around to be met by a Head scissors takedown! Fiona is quick up to her fete only to have her base taken out from under her with a dropkick that sends Fiona into the second rope facing the Crowd before Gabriela sees the situation and quickly uses Fiona as a vault hose over the top rope Leg dropping her exposed head and neck and sitting on the apron to dusting her hands off standing to face the crowd slapping at her upper chest and shouting}
Terri Morasco: High and low! Gabriela like a whirling Dervish of destruction!
{Gabriela takes a minute waiting until Fiona stands and springs off the top rope, hitting the knee strike against Fionaâs head as She stand s ending her back down before climbing the second turnbuckle to show off a bit. Turn around to sand over Fiona and starting to pick her up Before McFly seems to spring to life with a quick Russian leg sweep, following it up an floating over herself to pull Gabriela up and then hit a Suplex and then once more to push Gabriella to the ropes and tying her up before breaking up and aiming up at Gabriela}
Terri Morasco: Fionaâs got evil intentions!
Vasco Dias: Told you, fired up! Kill, Fiona, Kill!
{Fiona charges towards Gabriela who drops down elegantly to low Bridge the Irish woman sending her over the outside to the top and she frees herself from the ropes to look back and grin brightly before taking off for the ropes to hit Fiona with the ARROW OF ARTEMIS sending the two ladies crashing to the floor}
Terri Morasco: Gabriela is just letting Fiona have it
Vasco Dias: Fiona isnât going to go down with out a fight.
{Gabriela is up first pulling Fiona up to whip he towards the ring, Fiona reverses and Gabriella hops up onto the apron only to have her momentum halted as Fiona takes her legs out with an arcing roundhouse meaning Gaby crashes to the apron Fiona shakes herself off a bit and rolls into the ring grabbing Gabriella in a Gator Roll as she does so to transition to standing before she stand up and floats Gaby over into a Suplex Covering the other Woman.

Terri Morasco: Gabriela is building some steam.
Vasco Dias: But will it be enough?
{Gabriela has now built up a head of steam and shuts to the crowd gesturing up as she backs up to a corner crouching low and waiting}

SEGMENT
New Luchadora Champion Celebration
------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: And we are back from commercial with a particular highlight.
Terri Morasco: Do we have to?
{The camera switches to Ciara OâConnor, Amber Cooke, and Christina Rose sitting on the ropes of the ring with Ciara holding a microphone, smirking at the camera.}
Ciara OâConnor: Now is the time for all of you to get on your FUCKING knees and praise. She is simply flawless, the Crowne jewel and your NEW LUCHADORA CHAMPIONâŠ
âPop Pop!â
{The clapping synth intro of âPopularâ by The Veronicas plays over the Pas, Charity Crowne is carried out on the ramp in a golden throne carried by four men in black dress pants held up by suspenders over a bare chest and bearskin hats. Charity gives a little beauty queen wave as the Luchadora belt is around her waist and a simple but beautiful crown sits on her head in the beautiful red dress.}
Ciara OâConnor: Charity Crowne!!
{Charity stepping off the throne and into the ring. As soon as she entered the ring, rose petals floated to the ground. Charity spun slightly, taking in the display before being handed the mic from Ciara, smiling}
Charity Crowne: Thank you, thank you.
{Charity smiles putting a hand to her chest.}
Charity Crowne: Itâs so lovely to FINALLY receive the attention that I have deserved for so long as the Crowne Jewel of this division and YOUR new Luchadora Champion. Isnât it grand?
{Christina, Amber and Ciara clap while the crowd boos.}
Charity Crowne: I understand, change is hard to accept. Youâve spent so much time acclimated to mediocrity and people who put on airs to even be able to process the idea of a champion like me. Shame, isnât it, ladies?
{The other three murmur among themselves, nodding to each other.}
Terri Morasco: But other people put on airs, right?
Vasco Dias: Shut up, Terri! The CHAMPION is speaking!
Charity Crowne: Right? Right. Now, I could have been selfish and kept the celebration all to myself, but because I am a loving queen who cares about her subjectsâ
{Another boo flares up, and Ciara raises her microphone, shouting into it.}
Ciara OâConnor: Oi! Shut the fuck up while the Queen is talking! Sorry for interrupting, love.
{Charity waves her hand, smile even wider as she looks over to Ciara.}
Charity Crowne: Itâs all right. As I was saying, because Iâm a loving queen, I wanted to share this joyous moment with all of YOU! Isnât that lovely? It is, it really is. Iâm so good to you people. Too good, some might say, but I say nothing is too good for my adoring public!
{The public shows exactly how much they truly adore Charity with a hail of boos, and Charity looks scandalized. Ciara runs over and cups her hands over Charityâs ears, whispering something to her off-camera as Amber shouts at the crowd. Before they can resume their celebration, though, Jess Fowler walks through the curtain, a microphone in his hand and a raised eyebrow on his face.}
Jess Fowler: While this level of self-celebration isnât...unexpected, given the parties in the ring, and I do so hate to interruptâŠ
{The crowd roars for this, and Jess looks at them, a bit nonplussed, before pressing ahead.}
Jess Fowler: ...I do have business to attend to, and you ladies have been rather lax about replying to communications this week. You see, management ordered that two members of the Best Friends Club would be in action at Open Fight Night next week against Vivienne Rodgers and Brooklyn Madrox. Do you have a selection? Or shall I choose for you?
{Charity glares up the ramp at Jess, snatching her microphone up again with venom in her voice.}
Charity Crowne: This was clearly designated as OUR TIME TO CELEBRATE! Who do you think you are, interrupting the Best Friends Club like this?!
Jess Fowler: ...your boss, but go off I guess?
{Charity huffs, shaking her head, and crosses her arms, raising her microphone again.}
Charity Crowne: And to answer your question, MIS-ter Fowler, because Ciara is still sore from that vicious and uncalled-for assault by Brooklyn Madrox and Christina has been besieged by unfair treatment from management, itâll be myself and the newest member of the Best Friends Club, Amber Cooke!
{The crowd cheers for the finalization of the match, and Jess smirks, nodding to Charity from the top of the ramp.}
Jess Fowler: Good. Now, you might want to clear out. After all, youâre out here in the open, and you do have a habit of making enemies...enemies that might want revenge.
{Charity pauses, face going pale, and as she tries to laugh it off, the opening notes of âTrip the Darknessâ hit the PA. Charityâs eyes go wide at the sound of Rowan MacDonnoughâs theme, and she panics, dropping her microphone and immediately fleeing the ring through the crowd. The rest of the Best Friends Club pursue her as Jess laughs, shaking his head. As Charity runs, Jess makes a quick silencing motion with his hand, the music cutting off before he turns and heading backstage.}
Terri Morasco: Well...weâve got a tag team bout set for next weekâs show here in Boston, and weâve also got confirmation that Jess Fowler isnât above using the sound team to intimidate IWF personnel.
Vasco Dias: What a cruel and unnecessary way to prey on Charity Crowneâs past! Hasnât she suffered enough?! She has, I tell you! That was out of line, Fowler! OUT OF LINE!
Terri Morasco: Regardless of your feelings on the appropriateness of it, we still have our massive main event ahead of us tonight on Sacrifice. Former Luchadora Champion Dawn Halliwell and former Openweight Champion Vivienne Rodgers come to blows up next, right here on Sacrifice!
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Dawn Halliwell vs Vivienne Rodgers
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest for the heiress to the throne is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: Here we are ladies and gentleman, the main event of tonightâs Sacrifice!
Vasco Dias: We are getting another Heiress to the throne match.
{The camera goes over the crowd until it goes to the entrance ramp.}
Terri Morasco: This match is sure to be something to see.
Vasco Dias: We have Age of Gods only remaining female against the human cinnamon roll.
{The opening trumpets to Confident by Demi Lovato begin to play as the lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the bass kicks in. Vivienne herself does not appear until the lyrics begin in Earnest, walking on from backstage. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk. She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before Vivienne settles into her corner.}
Alison Valance: First down to the ring, weighing 140 pounds, standing at 5â7ââ from Madison, Wisconsin⊠VIVIENNE RODGERS!
Terri Morasco: Vivienne had some impassioned words to say earlier this week.
Vasco Dias: Too little too late. Things are not going to go the way she wants. She should know that by now.
{The lights dim, and Disturbedâs cover of Land of Confusion roars through the arena as the Imperatron lights up with a background image of lit smoke rising from the ground, silhouetting Dawn Halliwell. Dawn stands there, breathing heavily as smoke rises from the stage around her, head down as the plays. When the chorus hits, the smoke around her is blown away, and on the screen behind her the smoke is cast aside by shadows of two large, angelic wings. The image fades as Dawn walks towards the ring, a grin spreading on her face in eager anticipation for the blood sport that is coming. She leaps up onto the apron, vaulting over the ropes and rolling into the center of the ring, kneeling on the mat with one fist planted down for support. On the mat around her are shadows of the wings, spread wide before they fold inwards and vanish into her own. With that she stands and walks to her corner.}
Alison Valance: And next to the ring, weighing 125 pounds, standing at 5â4ââ from Salem, MassachusettsâŠ.. DAWN HALLIWELL!
{Dawn seems to shake her head at seeing Viv standing across from her. Viv gives her a heart symbol with her hands.}
Terri Morasco: These two were friends not too long ago.
Vasco Dias: Before Dawn got wise and joined the Age of Gods.
{ The ref looks between the two women before calling for the bell. As soon as the bell rings, Viv walks across the ring, offering her hand. Dawn looks down at it and takes her hand but pulls her into a Armbar.}
Terri Morasco: Vivienneâs likely going to regret trying to interact friendly with Dawn Halliwell.
Vasco Dias: She is part of Godâs army. She doesnât have time to waste with some heart strings pulling stuff from Vivienne.
{Viv struggles against the hold and hooks her leg on the bottom rope. The ref tells Dawn to let go and starts counting, Dawn lets go at the last moment.}
Terri Morasco: Itâs lucky Vivâs height gives her the advantage to get a leg hooked there.
Vasco Dias: Being freakishly tall compared to Dawn counts for something I guess.
{ Viv rubs her shoulder slightly before standing up. Dawn glares and grabs Viv and hits her with a snap suplex, tossing her across the mat. Dawn goes over to her and picks her up and hits her with muay thai knees into the stomach before dropping Viv to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: Vivienne isnât doing any defense? Why is she just letting Dawn hit her?
Terri Morasco: Maybe thatâs part of the plan?
{Dawn takes a step back and hits Viv with a Renegade knocking Viv to the mat again.}
Vasco Dias: Itâs a dumb plan.
{Dawn goes for the pin,
1
KICK OUT!}
Vasco Dias: If she isnât going to fight back what is she doing?
Terri Morasco: Something more important is happening right now, Vasco.
{Dawn doesnât give Viv a moment to recover before hitting her with a german suplex knocking her against a turnbuckle.}
Terri Morasco: Ow, that had to hurt.
Vasco Dias: Obviously it hurt. Itâs not like they are having a pillow fight, Terri.
{Viv pulls her self up to her feet, breathing hard. Dawn stalks over to her and hits her with a couple more muay thai knees into the stomach before the ref pulls Dawn back to give Viv a moment to breathe.}
Vasco Dias: Sheâs not defending herself at all. Sheâs just letting Dawn kick her ass. Why?
Terri Morasco: Friendship, Vasco.
{Viv hangs on the ropes a moment before standing up, wincing slightly.}
Terri Morasco: I hope thatâs the reason anyway.
{ Dawn paces a little waiting for Viv to do something. Viv takes a few steps from the rope before nodding that sheâs fine.}
Terri Morasco: Viv isnât going to throw away a match. Thatâs not the kind of person she is.
Vasco Dias: Because you know her so well?
{ Dawn heads for Viv who catches her by the throat and hits her with a chokeslam knocking the other girl to the mat. Viv touches her stomach and takes a breath.}
Terri Morasco: Viv is in a great deal of pain here.
Vasco Dias: At least she finally defended herself. Not that it will help against Dawn. She is Godâs chosen.
{Dawn bounces back up and hits Viv with a cross-Arm breaker, locking it in good and tight with a glint in her eye.}
Vasco Dias: This might be it.
Terri Morasco: Submissions are Dawnâs specialty.
{Viv screams in pain as she struggles to reach the bottom rope with her foot, it seems just barely out of her grasp.}
Vasco Dias: Ha! Your height canât help you now!
{Dawn seems to suddenly start to struggle with the hold of the arm, almost seeming to loosen it and then tighten it.}
Vasco Dias: What? What?
Terri Morasco: What is happening? Is this a repeat of Extreme Endurance?
{During on of the loose moments, viv hooks her foot on the rope. The ref tells Dawn to let go of Viv. Dawn releases Viv, seething with anger.}
Terri Morasco: Viv managed to break the submission.
Vasco Dias: Only because Dawn let her.
{ Viv leans against the rope, favoring her right shoulder.}
Vasco Dias: Viv is hurting badly. You can tell.
Terri Morasco: She has been taking every hit Dawn has thrown at her. She only seems to be defending herself long enough to breathe.
{ Dawn grabs Viv by the hair and pulls her away from the ropes before dropping her in the middle of the ring.}
Terri Morasco: This is not looking good.
{ Dawn hits Viv with a Ride The Lightning, Knocking Viv down.}
Terri Morasco: Dawn is not holding back with these moves.
Vasco Dias: Why should she? She gave Viv a chance to skip this match and save herself from Godâs Judgement. She didnât do that.
{ Dawn seems to hesitate for a moment, struggling with herself, as Viv rolls slightly.}
Terri Morasco: What is going on with Dawn?
Vasco Dias: Who can say?
{Viv stands up, goes to Dawn and puts her hand on her shoulder clearly saying something but Dawn hits her hard across the face, knocking Viv to the mat with a bloody lip.}
Vasco Dias: We donât have time for nice speeches.
Terri Morasco: Sheâs trying to talk to Dawn instead upâŠwell, the other thing.
{Viv stands back up and grabs Dawn and hits her with a swinging backbreaker knocking her to the mat but winces with the hit.}
Vasco Dias: And look how well thatâs working for her.
{Viv struggles through the pain and grabs Dawn and hits her with a Belly to back suplex, knocking her down to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: Is she finally going to do it? Stop this tip toeing around?
Terri Morasco: Maybe?
{ Viv picks Dawn up and hits her with a Rainbow, knock her to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Thatâs one of her trademark moves.
Vasco Dias: She going to try to go for the pin?
{ Viv kneels on the mat and lifts Dawn into a hug.}
Vasco Dias: This is a wrestling match! There is no time for care bear hugs or whatever!
Terri Morasco: Itâs Care Bear stare I think butâŠNevermind.
{ Dawn suddenly over powers Viv and picks her up into a powerbomb and tosses her into the turnbuckle.}
Terri Morasco: Thatâs one of Spike Kaneâs movesâŠ
{ Viv stands up, spitting a little blood, having trouble standing.}
Terri Morasco: Viv has certainly taken a beating here.
Vasco Dias: She could defend herself.
{ Dawn hits Viv with a spear knocking her into the turnbuckle again.}
Terri Morasco: Viv has to be in terrible pain right now.
Vasco Dias: She spat up some blood, so likely.
{ Dawn gets up and hits viv with a pele kick.}
Vasco Dias: Dawn isnât taking any chances.
Terri Morasco: Viv is just leaving herself open to these attacks. I donât know how much longer she can last.
{Lifting Viv away from the turnbuckle, hitting her with Muay Thai Knees.}
Vasco Dias: Going to the stomach again.
{Viv drops to her knees, looks up at Dawn, âItâs okay, Dawn. Iâm here.â}
Vasco Dias: She canât possibly think this will work.
Terri Morasco: Maybe she does.
{ Dawn responds with a front dropkick.}
Terri Morasco: Another solid hit from Dawn.
Vasco Dias: Sheâs making an example of Vivienne. She has the right. Vivienne doubted Godâs will.
{ Dawn looks down at Viv, rolls her over with her foot and goes for the pin.

Viv hugs Dawn, lifting one shoulder up.}
Vasco Dias: Hugging? Again? What the hell?
Terri Morasco: Sheâs trying to reach Dawn, I think.
{ Dawn elbows Viv in the head, getting from of the hug and walking back slightly, glaring.}
Terri Morasco: Dawn doesnât seem to like the hugging anymore then you do.
{ Viv struggles to sitting up, âDawn, if you can hear me-â Dawn hits her with another pele kick.}
Terri Morasco: Another kick from Dawn.
Vasco Dias: Rodgers should just keep her mouth shut.
{ Dawn puts a foot on Vivâs shoulder, âShe can hear you. She is going to witness that no one is allowed to stand up to Godâs Will.â}
Terri Morasco: Well, thatâs not scary or creepy at allâŠ
Vasco Dias: Angels donât need to make you comfortable, Morasco.
{ Viv struggles, âNot your fault, Dawn. Still love you.â Which causes Dawn to kick her in the ribs.}
Vasco Dias: Oh come on.
Terri Morasco: She has a right to speak, Vasco.
{Dawn grabs Viv up but Viv hugs her and seems to be hanging onto her.}
Vasco Dias: Unless this is some new submission move where Vivienne tries to knock her opponent out with a sugary-sweetness overdoseâŠ
{Dawn snarls in rage trying to shove Vivienne away. âSTOP TALKING!â she snap, and moves to try to pull Vivienne into the Thunderstruck⊠but before she can grab Vivienne by the head to finish the move, she cries out in exertion and throws herself back.}
Vasco Dias: Whatâs happening?
Terri Morasco: Dawn doesnât want to win this fight, Vasco. Sheâs doing everything she can to fight back.
{Vivienne wipes the blood from her mouth, slowly pulling herself back to her feet as she approaches Dawn, who is backed against the ropes. She reaches carefully forward, putting a gentle hand on each of Dawnâs cheeks. âItâs okay,â she chokes out through the thick red dripping from her throat. âItâs okay, Dawn. Iâm here for you. You still have such a big family out there ready to support you. Youâre not alone.â}
Terri Morasco: Look!
{A number of figures begin hopping the barricade, and for a moment it looks as though The Age of Gods might be sending backup to keep Vivienne from doing what sheâs doing⊠but when the hoods come down, itâs a number of women who have been there as Dawnâs family over the last few months. Pandora, Astrid and Hope of the Freeman-Hall Kanes, along with another woman in cosplay, who some might remember as Caitlyn Wright, Dawnâs closest friend from the wrestling company Spike Kane ran for a few short months. The four of them come to ringside, not interfering in the match, but circling around the two women in the ring and offering words of encouragement for Dawn to fight back.}
Vasco Dias: ⊠Oh my God, I might actually tap out to this sugary sweetness overdose.
Terri Morasco: Shut up Vasco, its not our fault youâre medically incapable of feeling joy.
{Dawn whirls as she glares at everyone around her, seething with increasing desperation and rage. Sheâs clearly struggling against herself, having a harder time maintaining composure with each pair of eyes she meets. After a few moments it looks like sheâs going to punch Vivienne hard in the face⊠but at the last moment the fist veers sharply to the side and cracks across her own jaw. The crowd falls silent for a moment as Dawn breathes hard, eyes closed⊠before cracking a sharp, cocky smile. âFuck you, asshole⊠Dawn⊠Motherfucking⊠HalliwellâŠâ She pushes herself away from the ropes, dragging Vivienne with her as she looks at everyone around her. âThank youâŠâ she chokes out, her voice raspy. âFinish it.â
She punches herself again across the jaw, falling back against the she pulls Vivienne with her, causing the taller woman to fall on top of her as Dawn flattens her shoulders against the mat. The ref jumps in and begins the count!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner⊠VIVIENNE RODGERS!!!
Vasco Dias: Well that was STUPID.
Terri Morasco: Nobody cares, Vasco.
{Dawn rolls out of the ring into the waiting arms of her found family, seeming surprisingly weak and drained considering how little punishment she actually took throughout the match. Dawn falls onto the shoulders of Caitlyn Wright, who helps support her all six women walk up the ramp together, exiting as one group as the show closes.}
