OCTOBER REVOLUTIONOctober 28, 2018: SSE Arena Belfast, Belfast, Ireland------------------------------------SEGMENTRoundtable Discussion------------------------------------{The camera pans through the opening video package of October Revolution with Medieval Warfare playing over it. As it ends we pan over the crowd with a few signs âRob Diamond be my Daddy!â, âBFCâ, âJUST KISS ALREADYâ, âProbably a Kaneâ we go to the panelist table for the preshow where Rachel Grimes is sitting smiling wearing a REMEMBER SPIKE KANE shirt.}Rachel Grimes: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Pre-Show panel for October Revolution 2018 here in Belfast, Ireland. This past month has been a very intense time in the IWF. To go through everything with me, as always, Tyler Jacobs.
{The camera pans to Tyler sitting there with a shirt showing Spike Kane winning the Roulette of 2018.}Tyler Jacobs: Thank you Rachel. Honestly there is so much to look forward to tonight and I can not wait to see how things end. But thatâs not all.
Rachel Grimes: Well, we donât know if thatâs something we should be talking about Tyler.
Tyler Jacobs: Let me at least try.
Rachel Grimes: Okay.
Tyler Jacobs: With Trent HelmsâŚ
{Rachel lets out a sigh of relief.}Tyler Jacobs: With his loss at Extreme Endurance no one has seen or heard from him in the IWF.
Rachel Grimes: But with Xavier getting ready for the main event and Trent being gone. We have two special guest today on the pre-show panel.
{The camera pans over to show Nick Hunter and Nate Harris sitting at the table. Nick has a âBourbon Street Saintsâ shirt and Nate in a âMove Iâm Gayâ}Nick Hunter: Bout fucking time, right Nate?
Nate Harris: Last time we were even on tv was when my sister kicked Trent Helmâs ass.
Nick Hunter: Former Super Plus Ultra Champion, Justine Harris. Where is her merch?
Nate Harris: Where is our merch is a better question, bitch.
{Rachel laughs and Tyler looks between the two.}Rachel Grimes: So what have you all been up to?
Nick Hunter: We doing the charity gig. We still got that Tag Team World Cup.
Nate Harris: Yes.
Nick Hunter: Been part of Team Free Will.
Nate Harris: Hanging with our boy Pax.
Nick Hunter: Starting a Diversity Hire youtube channel. Look that shit up. We got us, Gabi, Pax and some other special guests. Itâs a time.
Nate Harris: Promo that shit.
Tyler Jacobs: Right, well are you excited to be on the preshow with us?
Nate Harris: Itâs air time. Hate for people to forget us.
Nick Hunter: This gay disaster acting like he donât get thirst follows every damn day.
Nate Harris: Jealous?
{Rachel laughs and Tyler shakes his head.}Tyler Jacobs: So with everything going on, with Jess Fowlerâs announcement of Try Outs for IWF we have our second match in that series with Zain Keller facing off against Gibberg.
Nick Hunter: That a serious question about whose gonna win? Nah. Pass.
Rachel Grimes: You think it will be over quickly?
Nate Harris: They gave that Eddie Dread a hard match again my boy Pax. Gibberg? Man, I beat Gibberg six times on the way to my morning coffee. He ainât shit.
Nick Hunter: Seriously, besides have you seen Zain Keller? Dudeâs a star on the indies. He shouldnât be even trying out.
Nate Harris: Absolutely. Dude should already be signed.
Tyler Jacobs: Fair enough.
Rachel Grimes: Shall we talk about the return of Warren Kane?
Nate Harris: Boy is six flavors of crazy. But in the ring he got what it takes, Iâll give his ass that.
Nick Hunter: Thatâs not all youâd give him.
Nate Harris: HoâŚ
Nick Hunter: Iâm gonna agree though. Mr. Happy ainât had the rest record. Warren even with his time off likely wrestle circles around him.
Rachel Grimes: I have to admit, Iâm just happy to see Warren back on form here. With the death of his father and Trent Helms pouring salt in that wound I canât imagine things have been easy for him.
Tyler Jacobs: But will he be focused enough to win? Iâm not sure.
Rachel Grimes: Heâs a Kane. Heâs a member of The Pack. They donât go easy on anyone.
Tyler Jacobs: True.
Nate Harris: Next we have Rob Diamond facing Gen Eric.
Nick Hunter: How is it General Eric gets booked more than us?
Nate Harris: Maybe heâs got some dirty pictures of management. Like I know?
Rachel Grimes: Itâs been a while since Rob Diamond has been in the ring. A long while if Iâm judging by his appearance.
Tyler Jacobs: Iâm a fan of the new look or return to the new look.
Nate Harris: You and half of gay twitter, honey.
Tyler Jacobs: What?
Nick Hunter: Hooker, donât give them the acknowledgment.
Nate Harris: They are my people. Rob Diamond is a new favorite. I donât make the rules.
Rachel Grimes: Huh. Well, um do you have an opinion on how this will go?
Nick Hunter: Pass. We all know how this shit is gonna go.
Nate Harris: Solidarity voting for Diamond but I feel dirty about it.
Tyler Jacobs: Okay, the next match is between Vesna and Vivienne Rodgers.
Nick Hunter: Vesna. Hands fucking down. Vesna in a heartbeat. You seen her? I mean, have you SEEN her? She is the beginning and the end, Iâm telling you.
{Nate rolls his eyes.}Rachel Grimes: She has made a pretty impressive impact here. I have to admit Iâm interested to see how this plays out. I am, also going to go with Vesna here.
Tyler Jacobs: Iâm going to go with Vivienne Rodgers. Sheâs really proven her self these last couple months. She held the Open Weight title a long time. Itâs pretty impressive.
Nate Harris: Dark Horse vote? Those BFC bitches interfere. They aint got much else to do.
Nick Hunter: Cold.
Nate Harris: Honest.
Rachel Grimes: What about Amber Cooke vs Jessica Reed?
Tyler Jacobs: Jess. She is a hall of famer. She has been an institution of this company. Sheâs got her fair share of bones to pick with The Pack and with The Pack being two of the womenâs champions it wouldnât be hard to see that be the push she needs.
Rachel Grimes: Iâm going to actually say, Amber Cooke. She hits like a truck. She took Brooklyn out the other week like it was nothing. She hits like a truck and seeing some of her old matches I donât doubt she will take Jess to her limits.
Nate Harris: Iâm gonna go for the blonde chick. She seems fun. Sheâs got the rep. Fuck it.
Nick Hunter: Hooker, that sounds garbage.
Nate Harris: Blow me.
Nick Hunter: Amber though. Girls got a mean streak a mile wide. That girl looks angry like she wants to crush a manâs head with her thighs.
Nate Harris: Volunteering?
Nick Hunter: Shut the fuck up.
{Rachel laughs and Tyler tries to suppress a smile.}Nate Harris: Next Match AJ vs Malo yeah?
Rachel Grimes: Correct.
Nick Hunter: Hard Pass.
Nate Harris: Youâre disrespecting Malo like that?
Nick Hunter: Yeah.
Nate Harris: Wow.
Tyler Jacobs: Itâs hard to look at this match up and see Malo coming out on top.
Rachel Grimes: But heâs done it in the past.
Nate Harris: Damn right.
Nick Hunter: Nah, we all know how this goes.
Rachel Grimes: We should go to the first match of the night, the tryout match⌠Take it away Terri and Vasco!
------------------------------------
Preshow MatchZain Keller vs Gibberg------------------------------------Terri Morasco: Welcome to the Pre-Show match that is also one of the try-Out matches.
Vasco Dias: So far weâve had Eddie Dread come through impressive enough to get a contract despite losing to Pax Stromcrow. Letâs see if things will be more interesting here.
Alison Valance: The Following match is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, Gibberg!
{Gibberg is standing in the center of the ring, pacing.}Terri Morasco: Gibberg Seems pretty relaxed here.
{Gibberg glares at the camera.} Alison Valance: And trying out for the Imperial Wrestling Federation, Mr. International standing at 5â11 and weighing in at 199 pounds from West Liberty, KentuckyâŚ. ZAIN KELLER!
{There is a long silence.}
Terri Morasco: Um...
Vasco Dias: We just got word that Zain Keller had a scheduling conflict and was unable to attend.
{The ref shrugs and raises Gibberg's arm in the air.}
Alison Valance: Winner Gibberg?
{Gibberg raises his hands in the air.}Terri Morasco: wow...
Vasco Dias: Back to the roundtable
------------------------------------SEGMENTRoundtable Discussion------------------------------------Rachel Grimes: Well that has to be disappointing Zain Keller.
Tyler Jacobs: I'm sure he can try out some other time.
Nick Hunter: He shouldn't have to try out.
Nate Harris: Yeah, yeah.
Nick Hunter: Sign him up!
Rachel Grimes: Without much further we have the ladder match with Devlin Raine, James Gilmore and Fabian Graves.
Tyler Jacobs: This is one of the matches Iâm looking forward to. We have two men that were near the top of the Heir to the Throne as well as a new comer Fabian Graves. I imagine this will be something to see.
Rachel Grimes: I personal think James Gilmore could really take this. He showed us he can be one of the top men in this company. Heâs had some good victories. He has a reason to want to get to the Extinction Event. Heâs been disrespected. Heâs been counted out. He can win. I would not be surprised if he did.
Nate Harris: Nah. Iâm going for Devlin. Devlin got that rage. Devlin got that drive. Devlin got the past belt experience. Also? Boy got a hard on for taking Harper the FUCK out.
Nick Hunter: You assuming Dean retaining?
Nate Harris: I assume he thinks Harper is. Devlin is got a single-minded vengeance focus. Heâs gonna take the other two out like they are nothing.
Tyler Jacobs: Thatâs one of the reasons Iâm going with Graves. Heâs unpredictable. Heâs beaten Gilmore before. I have no doubt he will take advantage of Devlinâs emotional Vulnerability.
Nick Hunter: White boy playing up his mental illness. I should feel bad for agreeing with you but yeah, heâs the wild card and you have to assume thatâs going to go in a direction you donât expect.
Rachel Grimes: Next up we have Jayson Matthews and Pax Stormcrow.
Nate Harris: Pax. Ride or fucking die. Heâs my boy.
Nick Hunter: I got to back Pax here.
Tyler Jacobs: I have to admit Jayson has been solely focused on getting to Angel Blake. I think the chance to get in the ring with him again heâd pull out all the stops. Completely unload on Pax.
Rachel Grimes: I donât know who to pick if I can be honest, both Pax and Jayson are impressive in the ring. Pax has the skill but Jayson is a little unhinged.
Nick Hunter: Pick your favorite child.
Rachel Grimes: Uhhh⌠I guess Jayson? The extinction event is when Spike Kane took the now called Extreme belt from Jayson when he was so close to breaking the record. I have to assume heâs going to pull out some of that old fire to put something to get the win here.
Tyler Jacobs: And we have a rematch that I was not expecting so soon. Rowan vs Fiona. Thoughts?
Nate Harris: Didnât that demon possessed nutcase kill her already?
Nick Hunter: BOY!
Nate Harris: What? Am I meant to not remember that?
Nick Hunter: You canât just say that shit. Jesus.
Nate Harris: She died. That demony bitch KILLED HER. I have to side with the white devil. She killed her once.
Nick Hunter: You are gonna get your ass kicked and Iâm not going to be there to save you.
Rachel Grimes: I have toâŚagainst my better judgment agree with Nate. Rowan is an uncontrollable force. Now with her family together again I doubt anything will stand in her way.
Tyler Jacobs: I hope Fiona can win this. I hope she can get it together and take Rowan out.
Nick Hunter: Damn right. Hope for some of that good winning shit.
Rachel Grimes: That means in the fight against Brooklyn you hope Christina Rose will win?
Nick Hunter: Fuck no. Sheâs not a good person.
Nate Harris: Trust.
{Nick and Nate fist bump.}Tyler Jacobs: I have to assume this match is not a throw away to give Brooklyn another win. Maybe itâs to make an example of one of the BFC? I have to assume thatâs it. Christina isnât going to go down without a fight.
Rachel Grimes: Iâve seen Christina win matches with bigger odds. Weâll see of course but I have some faith in here.
Rachel Grimes: But now the main event. What do you guys think?
Tyler Jacobs: I said it last time and Iâll say it again. Regardless of how the last match went between them. I have to believe Dean has Xavierâs number.
Rachel Grimes: Maybe before. But did you see him in that promo? I donât think he has it in him to do what he used to.
Nate Harris: Boy got the white devil ripped out of him. He needs time to recover before standing against the heir to the throne. But here we are. Bitch about to be handed his whole ass.
Nick Hunter: Same though. Xavier has the drive. Xavier has the rage. I donât see anybody else doing it.
Nate Harris: Besides, what are we meant to be impressed by now? His daddy is God? So? We kicked God and Spike Kane's ass. Fuck, that don't make him special.
Tyler Jacobs: I wouldn't say that.
Nate Harris: Why the fuck not? God don't do shit anyway. I ain't some helpless shit the pack can kidnap. Fuck em.
Rachel Grimes: Well, the show is about to begin. Thank you for joining us.

SINGLES MATCHWarren Kane Vs Mr. Happy------------------------------------Alison Valance: The fallowing match is scheduled for one fall!
{Mr. Happy is standing in the ring dancing about.}Alison Valance:Introducing firstâŚ. MR. HAPPY!
Terri Morasco: He certainly looks happy to be here.
Vasco Dias: He wont be for much longer.
Terri Morasco: You really think itâs going to be over that quickly?
Vasco Dias: Why wouldnât it?
Terri Morasco: We donât know what kind of shape--
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}"UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}Alison Valance: Coming down to the ring standing at 6â1ââ representing The Pack âThe Demon Princeâ WARREN KANE!
Terri Morasco: He looks dedicated.
Vasco Dias: He looks full of rage.
{ The ref looks between the two men and signals for the bell. Warren hits Happy with a pele kick followed by a tilt a whirl back breaker.}Terri Morasco: Warren is wasting no time here.
Vasco Dias: Someone might want to get the medical staff on stand by
{Warren hits Happy with another pele kick before going for CALF KILLER.}Terri Morasco: Is Warren going to make Mr. Happy Submit?
Vasco Dias: Who can say?
{Warren looks aggressively into the camera as he continues to hold the move.}Terri Morasco: Is he proving a point?
Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure.
{ Mr. Happy taps out. The bell rings and âUndeadâ plays over the speakers. Warren holds the move a little longer before dropping it and standing up.}Alison Valance: Winner by SubmissionâŚWarren Kane!
Vasco Dias: I have to imagine this is just a preview of things to come.
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHRob Diamond vs Gen Eric------------------------------------{ The lights in the arena start to strobe pink when- }"YOO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!"
{ Wannabe by Spice Girls the Punk Goes 90's version hits the loud speakers. Rob Diamond comes strutting out through the curtain and does a little spin on his heels before coming to a stop. }Alison Valance: On his way to the ring, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he is the BLOOD SOAKED CINDERELLA OF PRO WRESTLING!!! ROB DIAMOND!!!!
{ Rob looks out into the crowd with a shit eating grin on his face before marching down toward the ring. He runs up the steps and hops right into the ring doing another little spin before running up to the ropes, putting one foot on the second rope and throwing up the metal horns nodding his head. He spins off the ropes and falls back into one of the corners of the ring, kicking up his legs to rest on the second rope and looks quite relaxed. }Vasco Dias: Making his triumphant return to professional wrestling and IWF, ROB DIAMOND!
Terri Morasco: Itâs good to see Rob back in the ring especially after his encounter with Dean a while back.
Vasco Dias: That wasnât this Rob Diamond.
Terri Morasco: Please donât play into his insanity.
Vasco Dias: Iâm just stating a fact.
{ Rob loosens himself as General Eric just stands there looking all somber and serious. }Terri Morasco: General Eric doesnât look worried tonight.
Vasco Dias: Well Rob promised to put him down with his five moves of doom, so he should look worried.
{ The referee calls for the bell and General Eric comes lumbering out looking for a clothes line but Rob gets underneath him with a standard eighties style hip toss into a backbreaker! Rob pops up and holds up his index finger. }Vasco Dias: ONE!
Terri Morasco: Are you seriously going to count along!?
Vasco Dias: Absolutely.
{ General Eric is slow to stand up but Rob is waiting for him. Diamond bounces Eric off the ropes, Eric rebounds comes chin first into a big boot! Rob holds up two fingers now. }Vasco Dias: TWO!
Terri Morasco: Please stop.
Vasco Dias: Never.
{ Rob backs up and gets a good bounce off the ropes before hitting General Eric with an ATOMIC LEG DROP!!! Rob holds up three fingers now! }Vasco Dias: THREE!!!
Terri Morasco: One match in and Iâm already sick of you.
Vasco Dias: Weâve got three more hours together.
Terri Morasco: Angel help me.
{ Rob pulls General Eric up to his feet and jaws off before cracking him with the Fist Full of Democracy backfist! Diamond holds up four fingers right in the face of General Eric. }Vasco Dias: FOUR!!!
{ Then Rob jumps up into the air and grabs Eric around the neck for a DIAMOND CUTTER!!!! Rob casually hooks the legs of General Eric and holds up all five fingers now as the referee counts! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! Rob grabs the referee and shakes his head and yells âFIVE!â The referee drops back down. FOUR! FIVE!!! }Vasco Dias: HE DID IT! Rob Diamond defeated General Eric in five moves!!!
Terri Morasco: Impressive.
Vasco Dias: Youâre darn right it is.
{ Rob is up to his feet and asking for a microphone. }Rob Diamond: Ladies and Gentlemen⌠MY NAME IS ROB DIAMOND!!!
{ The crowd chants with him. }Rob Diamond: And tonight I followed through on my campaign promise to defeat the inspiring General Eric in five moves or less. But can your disgraced and in my opinion disgusting President of the Future United States of America say the same?
{ The crowd chants NO! }Vasco Dias: He absolutely canât. Did you hear, Terri, James Gilmore has been linked to the Zodiac Killer murders?
Terri Morasco: By Rob Diamond.
Vasco Dias: And countless anonymous sources.
Rob Diamond: Of course not. In fact James Gilmore has failed to fulfill a single one of his campaign promises. He hasnât made America great again in the future. Far from it! According to all the accounts Iâve gotten, from irrefutable sources like Hope Kane, Jessica Reed, that one guy with the sick name⌠Thaddeus? The future is absolutely horrible! Itâs been over run by tyrannical leaders likely enslaving the world in the image of who I presume is their leader, James Gilmore.
Vasco Dias: All facts.
Terri Morasco: Not exactly.
Rob Diamond: Well Iâm here to free the population of the future from the tyrannical leadership of a callous and heartless man whom we call James Gilmore. A man who allegedly ran over a puppy. A man who does not support the working class. A man who literally, allegedly, gave the middle finger to a lovely barbershop quartet on the side of the road. A man who I can say without a shadow of a doubt is the most disgusting human being to ever walk this Earth since Nero Ceasar. Yeah, I said it. Heâs worse than Nero.
Vasco Dias: The dirt worst.
Rob Diamond: And this supposed great leader actually threatened to hit me ladies and gentlemen. He wants to engage in a showing of brute force.
{ Rob looks around flabbergasted. }Rob Diamond: Are we in ancient Rome!? Is this a gladiatorial arena!? Do I look like the amazing actor Jerry Butler!?
Terri Morasco: Wrong movie, actor and country. Amazing.
Vasco Dias: Zip it Terri!
Rob Diamond: If Mr. Gilmore is so inclined to match wits inside this ring then his people can contact my people and perhaps we can square up in a celebrity boxing contest for charity. A charity of my choosing, likely Gilmore would donate all his proceeds to a hedge fund that would feed right back into his campaign. So Mr. Gilmore. The gauntlet is thrown. The ball is in your court. But I promise you the fate of this country will not be decided in the ring. It will be decided at the ballot box! And this country, I have a feeling will vote to MAKE AMERICA NUDE AGAIN!!!!
{ Rob drops the microphone as his theme music hits. He quickly hops out of the ring and scoops up a beautiful baby of ethnic origin and promptly poses for a candid picture with his fans as we head to the first video packages. }------------------------------------
IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERSingles MatchVesna vs Vivienne Rodgers ------------------------------------Terri Morasco: This next match is an Extinction Event qualification match.
Vasco Dias: One of these ladies will join the challenger team. Who do you think it will be?
Terri Morasco: Well Viv knows what it takes to be champion, but Vesna has been turning heads since her debut.
Jay: âGood People!â
{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.}Terri Morasco: Vesna looking for a big win for her career.
Vasco Dias: Sheâs going to want to use her speed to get the advantage.
{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.}Terri Morasco: and Viv is looking to get her career back on track.
Vasco Dias: Sheâs going to want to maintain the speed here. Slow Vesna down and control the pace.
{The bell rings and the ladies size each other and they go into a lockup.}Terri Morasco: Collar and elbow tie up in the middle of the ring and this thing is under way. Viv takes advantage of her size and gets Vesna into a side headlock. Vesna battled back with some shots to the midsection, but oh, Viv doesnât loosen her grip and keeps Vesna trapped in the side headlock!
Vasco Dias: Thatâs exactly what I was talking about. Viv knows Vesna is dangerous when she picks up the pace. Keep her steady. Keep her grounded.
{Viv keeps the headlock on, Vesna tries to battle out again but Viv holds her grip and takes Vesna to the mat with a quick belly to belly. Viv then transitions and goes for the head and arm.}Terri Morasco: Viv is looking for the Anaconda Vice! Vesna trying to fight out. Sheâs trying to block.
Vasco Dias: WOAH! Did you see that!
{Vesna pulls off a flashy spin a roonie like escape and the warrior pops up to her feet as the crowd pop for the move.}Terri Morasco: Vesna is always impressive and now sheâs got Viv where she wants her as she sets up the pace.
Vasco Dias: Vesna with a swarm of primal destruction.
{Viv scrambles to her feet to meet Vesna but sheâs instantly met with a forearm, she comes back up and Viv takes a drop kick, and then a headscissors. Viv lands on her back.}Terri Morasco: Tremendous show of speed by Vesna with that flurry and OH Vesna with a standing shooting star press! Viv hooks the leg. Will she get it!?
Vasco Dias: Oh man, that was so close! Viv gets that shoulder up. Viv looks like sheâs having a hard time keeping up. Vesna stays on her though. Great strategy. Donât let Viv even have a chance to catch up.
{Vesna pulls Viv up to her feet but while still hunched over and near her midsection, Viv hits some elbows. They slow Vesna down for a few seconds but Vesna answers back with a huge knee strike to the side of Rodgers heads and she staggered back.}Vasco Dias: Ooh what a shot!
Terri Morasco: Stiff knee strike staggers the former champion. Vesna comes running in, ducks a clothesline from Vivienne, Vesna goes for the springboard but OH! Viv with a big yakuza kick that knocks the smaller opponent out of the air! Viv goes for the cover.
Vasco Dias: WOW, that has to be it!
{The ref slides into position to count the three. One. Two. Viv throws her arm into the air to break the count. Viv pulls Vesna up to her feet as she signals for the end.}
Terri Morasco: Vesna is out of it after that well placed boot.
Vasco Dias: And now sheâs calling for the end!
Terri Morasco: Viv hooks her up! BLAM RAISE YOUR GLASS!
Vasco Dias: Itâs over.
{Viv hooks the leg and the ref counts. 1...2...3!!!}Vasco Dias: Viv did it! Sheâs going into Extinction!
{Viv celebrates her win as her music plays over the speakers.}------------------------------------
IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERSingles MatchAmber Cooke vs Jessica Reed------------------------------------{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: Weâve got another Extinction Event match up here, the returning Jessica Reed versus the up and comer, Amber Cooke!
Terri Morasco: Vasco, Iâm really excited for this match up. Jessica is a hall of fame wrestler, arguably the greatest Womenâs Champion weâve ever had and sheâs taking on someone who I think could easily challenge her even at Jessicaâs peak.
Vasco Dias: I canât argue with you there. Amber has been turning a lot of heads lately and if Jessica isnât in peak physical condition sheâs going to have a real hard time in this match up.
{ The lights in the arena go out as "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and the crowd go nuts. 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. Reaching the ring steps she climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle and continues to wave the crowd, pumping them up even more before hopping down into the ring. }Terri Morasco: The IWF Galaxy is definitely happy to see Jessica Reed back.
Vasco Dias: Who isnât? Sheâs a gift to the IWF galaxy.
Terri Morasco: A regular Wonder Marvel.
Vasco Dias: What?
Terri Morasco: The famous comic book superhero?
Vasco Dias: Thatâs all wrong.
{ Jessica Reed is on the second rope in her corner hyping up the crowd as Amber Cooke just swings her arms from side to side, continuing to stay loose. }Vasco Dias: As you know, Terri, the winner of this match gets to take part in this years Extinction Event.
Terri Morasco: A team of challengers vs champions, if you pin or submit a champion you become that champion.
Vasco Dias: Itâs one of the biggest events of the year in IWF and a huge opportunity for both Jessica Reed and Amber Cooke.
Terri Morasco: Iâll tell you right now, a win here for Amber Cooke definitely solidifies herself as a threat in the Extinction Event.
Vasco Dias: But a win for Jessica Reed does the same.
Terri Morasco: Absolutely. Either of these women would be formidable for any of the womenâs champions.
{ Before the referee calls for the bell Jessica Reed marches across the ring to ask for a hand shake from Amber Cooke. }Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure this is a good idea.
Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed is eternally optimistic and she likes to see the best in people.
Vasco Dias: I think the best in Amber Cooke is her competitive nature.
{ Amber looks from side to side as Jessica waits with her hand still out. Slowly Amber reaches out for Jessica Reedâs hand and then suddenly lunges forward with a hard elbow strike across the jaw of Jessica Reed! }Vasco Dias: I knew it!
Terri Morasco: Jessica got lured in!
{ The referee calls for the bell and Amber continues her assault as she clubs Jessica over the back hard with her forearm. Cooke clubs her again and again and again as Jessica tries to walk away but Amber grabs her by the head and slams her back first down to the mat. Cooke steps on the chest of Jessica with her hands up and gloats. }Vasco Dias: Amber showing her dominance here.
Terri Morasco: She is certainly looking impressive in these opening moments.
{ Amber still has her hands up, Jessica nips up, Amber turns and Jessica connects with a step enzugiri! Amber falls backward and Jessica is right back in with jumping high kick to the side of Amberâs head! Cooke stumbles back and Jessica scoops up the leg of Amber Cooke for a dragon screw! }Terri Morasco: Never under estimate Jessica Reed!
Vasco Dias: It looks like Jessica hasnât missed a beat!
{ Jessica has her hands up now to a pop from the crowd but Amber reaches her feet. Jessica turns right into a lunging clothes line from Amber Cooke! Amber immediately pulls Jessica up to her feet and begins to club her in the side of the head with hard elbow strikes, each one more vicious! Cooke then hits a massive lariat! Jessica is down and Amber goes right in for the pin. ONE! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Jessica got the shoulder right up!
Vasco Dias: She isnât a hall of famer for no reason!
{ Amber gets to her feet with her hands on her hips and then goes in with some vicious stomps to the chest of Reed. Amber stomps away for several moments before the referee pushes her back and then checks on Jessica. Amber moves in and pushes the referee out of the way. Cooke pulls Jessica up to her feet and pulls her in for a short arm shoulder block! Jessica blows win and Cooke grabs her for a quick belly to belly overhead suplex! }Vasco Dias: Amber Cooke is looking amazing tonight!
Terri Morasco: Yeah Iâm not sure Jessica was completely prepared for this match.
{ Jessica is sucking wind as Amber stands over here. Cooke kicks Jessica in the back of the head once, twice and then a third time. Jessica starts to pull herself up using the ropes but Cooke unleashes hard body shots to the sides of Jessica Reed! Cooke unloads on Jessica as she tries to block it. Cooke spins Jessica around for the Broadside! Amber covers Jessica. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: That was a close call for Jessica Reed!
Vasco Dias: Iâm starting to think Jessica is out matched here.
Terri Morasco: Iâm having a hard time disagreeing with you.
{ Amber looks annoyed as she pulls Jessica back to her feet. Amber jaws off and then launches an elbow strike but Jessica ducks it and connects with another jumping high kick! Amber falls back and Jessica takes off looking for a running clothes line! Amber ducks the clothesline but Jessica springboards off the second rope with a moonsult and hits Amber dead on!

IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERSingles Match MatchAndrew Jacobsen vs El Grande Malo------------------------------------{The house lights dim slightly as the words âOLĂâ appear on the screen. The fans begin chanting along with the music as El GrandĂŠ 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.}Alison Valance: The following Extinction Event qualifying match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Mexico, Maine, weighing in at 205 pounds, EL GRRRRRRRANDEEEEE MAAAAAALOOOOOO!
Terri Morasco: El GrandĂŠ Malo seems as happy-go-lucky as ever here tonight at October Revolution, Vasco. What does that say about him?
Vasco Dias: It says he doesn't know what he's walking into. If I were him, I would be taking this more seriously. Then again, if I were him, I would have retired already and ceased my shaming of this business.
Terri Morasco: Vasco, El GrandĂŠ Malo is a talented athlete!
Vasco Dias: Yes, but he's also an idiot. Look at him!
{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.}Alison Valance: And his opponent...
{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.}Alison Valance: Being accompanied by Danielle Chase, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 235 pounds, Andrew Jacobsen!
Terri Morasco: This is the first time we've seen Andrew Jacobsen on pay-per-view since Night of the Immortals. What does that kind of layoff from the big stage do to a competitor?
Vasco Dias: If it were most other men, I'd be concerned about nerves. Andrew Jacobsen has made it clear in the last few months that he has one thing on his mind: clearing IWF of the war that's been raging all year. He's got a lot of pent-up emotion, and this match is going to be a relief valve.
{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.}Terri Morasco: An Extinction Event slot on the line here, one-on-one! Let's get things going!
{The bell rings, and both men close with each other. Andrew moves to lock up, but Malo rolls underneath, firing a quick leg kick at Andrew. The Hall of Famer absorbs the shot, and Malo delivers a second, before hitting a kick to Andrew's ribs and following up with a quick spinning heel kick! The final kick drops Andrew, and Malo quickly covers, hooking both legs!
ONE! Andrew kicks out forcefully!}Terri Morasco: Quick kick combination by Malo putting Andrew on the defensive early!
Vasco Dias: Striking has always been Andrew's weak point, and Malo took advantage of that. Maybe he's taking things more seriously than I thought?
{Malo takes Andrew's hand, kicking him in the midsection, and runs up the corner turnbuckle, springboarding off the top rope and twisting into an arm drag on Andrew! Malo rolls to his feet, running to the ropes and springing off with a high crossbody! NO! Andrew catches him and rolls through the move, coming to his feet and shifting his grip before whipping Malo over with a twisting fisherman's suplex! Andrew bridges!
ONE! TWO! MALO KICKS OUT!}Terri Morasco: WHAT A COUNTER! Unbelievable resourcefulness from Jacobsen on that suplex!
Vasco Dias: You don't become a Hall of Famer by collecting bottle caps, Terri, and you don't become the longest-reigning singles champion in company history without the physical talents to match.
{Andrew rolls to his feet, measuring Malo, and when Malo swings wildly Andrew quickly catches the punch, sliding between Malo's legs and tying him up in a pumphandle for the COLD SNAP backbreaker! Andrew stands over Malo, eyeing him as Malo grabs at Andrew's legs, trying to stand, and pauses for a moment before hauling Malo in and underhooking both of his arms!}Terri Morasco: Hang on, what's Andrew doing here?
Vasco Dias: I have an idea...
{Andrew turns Malo towards the hard camera, Malo's arms struggling and flailing, before leaping and driving the luchador's face into the mat with the BEND THE KNEE! Andrew rolls Malo onto his back, hooking a leg and glaring dead-on into the camera!
ONE! TWO! THREE! "Unbreakable" plays over the PA as Andrew climbs to his feet, cracking his neck without breaking his gaze.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Andrew Jacobsen!
Terri Morasco: Pulling a move from his ally Ethan King's arsenal there, Andrew Jacobsen has secured his spot in the Extinction Event tonight at October Revolution!
Vasco Dias: Andrew made it clear that the assault on Ethan King by the Age of Gods was one of the things that lit a fire under him, and he's reminding the champions what motivates him tonight.
{Andrew stands, leaning over the ropes, and shouts into the camera "I'M COMING FOR YOU, ANGEL! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" He slips through the ropes, landing on his feet and walking back up the ramp as Malo begins to stir in the ring. Danielle follows Andrew up the ramp, and Andrew turns to throw a fist up to the crowd, drawing a roar of approval before disappearing into the back.}------------------------------------
IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERLadder MatchDevlin Raine vs James Gilmore v Fabian Graves------------------------------------{The match is a brutal, frantic affair, with the ladder being used as a weapon several times (notably, Fabian Graves dropkicking the ladder into a cornered Devlin Raine) and all three participants taking a beating. The ending comes when Fabian Graves attempts to claim the Extinction Event contract, only for James Gilmore to rip him off the ladder with a massive, wild REVERSE BLAST hurricanrana! Gilmore's unable to capitalize, though, as he stumbles up straight into a SUBSPACE HIGHWAY from Devlin Raine, who used the opening to climb the rungs and tear the contract down for the victory.}------------------------------------
IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERSingles MatchPax Stormcrow vs Jayson Matthews------------------------------------
{The drum fill kicks in the door and the guitar riff of 311âs Perfect Mistake starts blasting over the PA system.}âListen Up!â
{The arena lights start changing from orange to black on the beat and Jayson Matthews comes bouncing from behind the curtain and head banging to the riff. He jams to the verse as he starts to walk down the ramp, slapping fives with as many fans as he can on either side. }This is the next stage, we turn the page
we're gonna wreck a place when we take the stage
Roll up your sleeves, get down with me
It's going off in the pit like you wouldn't believe
Allison Valance: Weighing in at 200 pounds, hailing from Detroit, MichiganâŚâŚJAYSON MATTHEWS!
{Jayson stands at the end of the ramp and stares into the ring and he starts to bounce up and down and hypes himself up and as soon as the chorus hits he dives into the ring forward rolls onto his feet and runs over to the side opposite the ramp and leans over the ring While the lights strobe orange and black.}
âOhhhhhhhhhh
See in it my eyes
Hold it in my hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It's a perfect mistake
{He hops up on the turnbuckle and with one arm and points to the crowd with his other hand.}Vasco Dias: Weâve got an exciting match up here Terri.
Terri Morasco: A spot in the Extinction Event is on the line as Pax Stormcrow takes on Jayson Matthews.
Vasco Dias: As Iâm sure our fans know the Extinction Event takes place every year at our November special, Survival of the Fittest.
Terri Morasco: A team of challengers takes on a team of champions, if you pin or submit a champion you get their title.
Vasco Dias: Itâs an incredible opportunity for the challengers and an insurmountable challenge for the champions.
{ The lights in the arena dim, and there is the sound of a powerup collected in an old video game system. At the sound, the crowd leap to their feet with cheers A beat is laid out, filling the arena with the sounds of a Midi file. The lights pulse in time with the music. As they flash as the beat trembles, an explosion of sparks rocks the entrance stage. Pax runs out, shouting at the crowd to hype them up as the chanting on Suplex by A Tribe Called Red kicks in.
He jumps in place at the entrance ramp, before making his way down to the arena. He slaps hands with fans, especially taking the time to pay attention to a kid or two on the way down to the ring. He slides under the ropes and rolls to his feet, circling the ring as he shouts to the crowd with a giant smile on his face. }Terri Morasco: Pax has been on a resurgence as of late as he looks to secure a spot in the Extinction Event.
Vasco Dias: Where as Jayson Matthews has been punching at God and weâve all seen how that worked out for him.
Terri Morasco: Eventually Jayson will get his hands on Angel.
Vasco Dias: Not if the Clergy has anything to say about it.
Terri Morasco: The Clergy?
Vasco Dias: Thatâs what Iâm calling Uriel and Oracle.
Terri Morasco: Good name.
Vasco Dias: Thank you.
{ Both men are in their corners as the referee calls for the bell. Jayson comes right out looking to use his speed as an advantage but Pax rolls under the running forearm and springs back to his feet.

Terri Morasco: Stormcrow has done his research!
{ Jayson is almost right up to his feet but Pax is there with a rear waist lock takedown. Pax moves right into a rear mounted choke hold but Jayson manages to slide out from under him and get back to a vertical base. }Terri Morasco: Jayson is going to need to tap into his training with Nighthawk if he hopes to gain an advantage here.
Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure thatâs a period of his life Jayson wants to remember right now.
{ Jayson moves in for Pax again but Stormcrow easily grabs him and transitions into a side head lock.

IWF EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIERExtreme Rules Singles MatchRowan MacDonnough vs Fiona McFly------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL, and is for qualification into the 2018 EXTINCTION EVENT! Introducing first, from Arlington Texas, weighing in at 135 pounds⌠FIONA MCFLY!!
{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: For the third time in her career, Fiona McFly is looking to take down the Wolf of the Abyss in singles competition.
Vasco Dias: Fiona has never in her career been able to defeat Rowan, with their first singles match being a Woman of Steel match at October Revolution 2017, where Rowan won by knocking Fiona out by kicking her head repeatedly against the ring post.
Terri Morasco: Lets see if her luck changes tonight!
Alison Valance: And her opponentâŚ
{Lights out. The opening chords of âTrip the Darknessâ 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.}
Alison Valance: Weighing in at 145 pounds, from Kilkenny, Ireland â representing The Pack, The Wolf of the Abyss ROWAN MACDONNOUGH!
{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.}
Vasco Dias: Rowanâs been undefeated since her return from an injury sustained at the hands of Shea OâHara at Night of the Immortals this year, and Shea â who had previously been Rowanâs only reliable kryptonite â was quickly forced to retire with a serious injury. As she continues her war, the question on everyoneâs mind is this: What will it take to stop her this time?
Terri Morasco: I have no idea, Vasco⌠but weâll see if somehow Fiona manages to stop the onslaught.
DING!
{As soon as the bell rings, Fiona squares up, readying herself for a fight⌠but Rowan only tilts her head slowly to the side, examining Fiona with a sort of amused curiosity. Fionaâs brow furrows, and she moves forward to engage the Wolf of the Abyss⌠but Rowan simply raises a hand and snaps her fingers.
In a flash of light accompanied by a shout of pain and fear, Fiona McFly bursts into flames!}
Terri Morasco: WHAT?!
Vasco Dias: DIOS!
{Fiona drops down, trying to extinguish the flames before they cause her serious harm, shouting in pain⌠but before the flames are even extinguished Rowan casually stalks up next to her and nails her hard with a BALORâS GAZE! Fiona, entirely unprepared for the attack, collapses onto her back in a heap, and Rowan follows by planting a boot hard on her still-burning form, glaring down at her.
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, ROWAN MACDONNOUGH!
{Trip the Darkness by Lacuna coil begins to play as EMTs rush out to Fionaâs side, smothering the fire in a blanket as Rowan stalks around her, glaring down with sadistic fury. She tears the mic from Alisonâs hand and leans down over Fiona once her face is again exposed.}
Rowan MacDonnough: Find a new obsession.
{She drops the mic on the ground and walks up the ramp as Fiona watches on in shock.}
Terri Morasco: What just HAPPENED?!?
Vasco Dias: Just like that, Rowan MacDonnough will be going to Survival of the Fittest for her second run at the Extinction Event â this time as a challenger rather than a defender. May God help us allâŚ
------------------------------------
IWF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPSingles MatchChristina Rose vs Brooklyn Madrox(c)------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL, and is for the IWF WOMENâS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 115 pounds⌠The Blossoming One, CHRISTINA ROSE!
{Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Rose makes her way from the back curtain with her fiancee Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she flips off the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her future wife.}
Terri Morasco: Christinaâs been looking for a chance to get here for a long time, and here she is â finally challenging for the IWF Womenâs World Title!
Vasco Dias: Pinch me Terri I must be dreaming.
Terri Morasco: Shut it, Vasco
Vasco Dias: Everything Iâve always dreamed of is coming true!
Alison Valance: And her opponent...
{The lights go dark again, the arena filling with swirling tones of purple light on black. It is a much darker tone than her usual fanfare. The mood is tense, and the arena fills with the screeching of crows. At first it seems that maybe they are coming over the sound system⌠but it is quickly apparent that a huge flock of large crows â maybe ravens? â have suddenly begun swooping through the rafters of the stadium. A long, distorted tone rings through the arena as purple smoke floods the ramp⌠and "In The Dark" by The Birthday Massacre begins to play.}
Alison Valance: Representing The Pack, from Centralia, Pennsylvania â weighing in at 112 pounds: The Little Bad Wolf, BROOKLYYYYYYN MAAAAAADROOOOOX!
{A wind seems to kick up from the entrance arena, blowing the smoke through the audience, revealing Brooklyn Madrox standing there in the dark mist â her usual attire covered by what appears to be a dress of raven feathers. She stands there, grinning with a cruel gleam in her eye as she stares down the ramp. After a few moments, she strides towards the ring while maintaining eye contact with her challenger. She shrugs off the dress after climbing onto the apron. The crows land around her, perching on the ropes as she ducks under the top. She takes to the center of the ring and slowly spins, closing her eyes and chuckling as the crows take flight, swirling around the ring. When she stops, the sound of a thunderclap rings through the arena, causing the crows to fly off and vanish.}
Terri Morasco: Who would have guessed when she debuted that Brooklyn Madrox would eventually join The Pack, and from there go on to claim the record for longest EVER reign for the IWF Womenâs World Championship? Currently standing at 272 days, Brooklyn Madrox has held the title a full two months longer than Eternityâs Reign.
Vasco Dias: More than that â if she wins tonight, then she will break Andrew Jacobsenâs title reign with the Menâs World Championship that he set earlier this year, meaning that this will have been the longest championship reign in IWF History.
Terri Morasco: You think Christina Rose can do it?
Vasco Dias: Please. She was BORN for this.
{Brooklyn rolls under the bottom rope, climbing back to her feet and throwing a fist in the air. She backs into one of the corners, testing the ropes as she waits impatiently for the match to begin.}
Terri Morasco: Two women with pride and championship implications on the line! Let's do this!
{The bell rings, and both women move in to lock up, Brooklyn quickly overpowering Christina and maneuvering her into a side headlock. She cranks on the hold, flipping through with a side headlock takeover. Christina quickly counters out into a headscissors, but Brooklyn uses her impressive power to pry Christina's legs apart, snatching one of them and swiftly transitioning into a leglock. Christina uses her flexibility to twist, reaching the ropes quickly. Brooklyn obliges on the break after a two-count, nodding and cracking her neck as both women regain a vertical base.}
Terri Morasco: This championship reign has definitely shown a lot of growth in Brooklynâs abilities as a mat wrestler.
Vasco Dias: Her title reign doesnât matter, Terri â Christina has experience on her side, and she deserves to take this championship home!
{Again, they move in to lock up, but Christina ducks underneath, delivering a kick to Brooklyn's thigh as she does. Brooklyn clutches her leg, and Christina hits the ropes, coming off with another big kick! She keeps running, flipping forward into a handspring, and comes off the ropes into a wheelbarrow, transitioning it into a big arm drag! Brooklyn flips head over heels into the corner, and Christina follows her in with another handspring into a back elbow! She points out of the corner, hooking Brooklyn's head for a bulldog, and runs, but Brooklyn manages to run with her, lifting Christina up mid-run and spiking her on her head with a back suplex! Brooklyn bridges!
ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Christina had a lot of momentum there, and then what a counter from Brooklyn! Those killer instincts taking over!
Vasco Dias: Too many flips, dammit! This is what happens when you get all showy and posture-y!
{Brooklyn grabs at Christina's arm as she kicks out, trying to twist her into a cross armbreaker! Christina gets her long legs underneath her, pushing up, and turns the submission attempt into a pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT! Both women back up to their feet, and Christina runs the ropes under a Brooklyn clothesline, springboarding off and crashing into Brooklyn with a corkscrew back elbow! She rolls to her feet, bowing briefly for the crowd, before hitting the ropes again and catching a rising Brooklyn with a TILT-A-WHIRL DDT! It's Brooklyn's turn to be spiked on her head, and Christina quickly rolls into the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRâKICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Some more of that admirable speed from Christina Rose, and it's starting to pay some dividends!
Vasco Dias: It only takes a moment to be caught, but for the moment, Christina seems as uncatchable as the dawn.
{Christina gets to her feet first, seeing Brooklyn working her way up to a standing position, and hits the ropes, delivering a sliding dropkick to the face. Not wasting any time, she heads to the ropes, handspringing off and flipping for the SMELL THE ROSES! NO! Brooklyn gets her knees up just in time! Christina clutches her midsection as she crumples, and even Brooklyn winces as she stands, favoring her right knee. Christina stumbles to her feet, and Brooklyn grabs her by the arm, Irish whipping her into the corner before crushing her against the turnbuckle with a huge clothesline! As Christina stumbles, woozy, out of the corner, Brooklyn wraps her up in a rear waistlock, delivering a HUGE bridging German suplex!
ONE!
TWO!
THRâKICKOUT! At the last moment, Brooklyn's knee buckles, allowing Christina to kick free!}Terri Morasco: She'd been working on that knee earlier in the match, and it looks like that paid off.
Vasco Dias: That's the kind of weakness that can nullify just about any advantage, but I'm not sure Christina is in any position to capitalize right now. This is a big moment.
{Both women struggle back to a standing base on opposite sides of the ring, feet shaky underneath them. Brooklyn is the first to turn, charging at Christina with a right hand. Christina ducks under, hitting the ropes, and she handsprings off again. This time, Brooklyn ducks down, catching Christina on her shoulders in an electric chair position! Christina volleys down a series of punches, struggling, and manages to spin around, looking for the MYSTERIORANA! NO! Brooklyn hangs on, gritting her teeth as she lashes out with a kick to Christinaâs thigh to keep her down, then planting her with a BALORâS GAZE! She goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREâNO! HAND ON THE ROPES!}Terri Morasco: A Balorâs Gaze from the champion! How many times have we seen that move, taught to her by Rowan MacDonnough, end a match flat in IWF?
Vasco Dias: Once already just earlier tonight, but I think that knee damage screwed up Brooklyn's positioning, and it gave Christina that window to survive...but I think Brooklyn's intent on slamming it shut.
{Brooklyn is shocked, shaking her head, but the shock is quickly wiped from her face. She stands up, lifting Christina's limp form up, and makes a point of hauling her to the center of the ring before lifting and dropping her with the THE BIG BAD WOLF! Brooklyn drops into the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, and STILL IWF WOMENâS WORLD CHAMPIONâŚ. BROOOKLYNNNN MAAAADROOOOX!!!!
Terri Morasco: A great showing from Christina Rose, but ultimately it's the champion who triumphs here. Brooklyn picking up an impressive victory tonight!.
Vasco Dias: DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! She SHOULD have had it!
Terri Morasco: And with that, Brooklyn Madrox of The Pack claims the record for the longest title reign in IWF history. I may not stand with The Pack after everything theyâve done, but you canât deny that Brooklyn has more than earned some respect by setting this new record.
{In the Dark by Birthday Massacre plays triumphantly as Brooklyn carries the belt up the ramp, where she is joined by the rest of The Pack, gathering around her and congratulating her. Rowan MacDonnough particularly breaks her usual more stoic demeanor, pulling Brooklyn into a fierce and proud embrace before the family vanishes together backstage.}

IWF MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPChampionship Belt on a Pole MatchXavier Cross vs Dean Harper(c)------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following Menâs WORLD TITLE Match is a Championship on a pole match!
Terri Morasco: And we have arrived at our main event
{The camera pans over the crowd who are cheering, catching some signs and then panning over to the ring with the pole has been installed waiting.}
Vasco Dias: We have not had a pole match in IWF for some time.
Terri Morasco: The only way this match ends is when someone is able to get to the top of that pole and get the championship belt down.
Vasco Dias: There is no count out. There is no disqualification. Nothing matters unless that belt is in someoneâs hands.
Terri Morasco: I canât imagine this being easy for anyone.
{The lights grow a little brighter, as the intro to 'X Gon Give it to Ya' by DMX begins to play on the loudspeakers, out from the behind the curtain slowly walks to the stage, rotating his shoulders a bit, a smirk on his face as he throws his hands up to the cheers of the crowd, pushing his hood back, glancing around the arena hand over his brow to block out some of the light. }
Alison Valance: "Standing at six feet three inches, weighing in at two hundred and thirty one pounds....he hails from Atlanta, Georgia by way of Lexington, Virginia....he is Xavier.....CROOOOOOOSSSSSS..."
{Throwing his fist in the air, a series of flames lights up the sides of the entrance ramp down to the ring as he charges forward running down the ramp, sliding into the ring through the bottom rope, glancing around a bit, he tosses his jacket off, before making his way to hard camera ropes, putting one foot on the middle rope lifting himself up throwing up a single fist in the air, as the fire slowly goes on the entrance ramp, but the four turnbuckles send a series of fire pyrotechnics into the air. Walking back, the fire slowly fades as he begins to stretch off in his corner.}
Terri Morasco: Xavier called his shot back in Heir to the Throne. He pushed himself to get to this point. As has been said many times before, but this fight has been a long time coming.
Vasco Dias: Harper derailed Crossâ time with The Council. He kidnapped him. He nearly ended his career. Their last match ended with a double count out but here is the time to put the screws to Harper if he wants.
Terri Morasco: Do we know thatâs what he wants?
{Lights go to black, leaving the arena in dark silence for a few moments before the dark, rhythmic pulses of the beginning of Hand that Feeds by Nine Inch Nails begins to surge through the arena. Lights flash randomly through the arena, and soon flashes of some of the most savage moments of Dean's career flash in flickering effect on the 'tron. Finally, a single white spotlight shines down in the center of the stage, where Dean is crouching as he shifts side to side along with the music, hoodie and leather jacket open to show a bare chest underneath. He smiles up at the camera, eyes alight with a savage mania before he leaps to his feet, the motion bringing a massive flash as every light in the arena flares. He holds that position for a few moments, fist raised in the air before sprinting down to ringside. He leaps up onto the Apron, vaulting over the top rope and flipping into a roll that carries him to the opposite side of the ring, where he catches himself in the ropes and lounges amongst them almost casually, bobbing his head along with the music. With the help of the ropes, he shrugs off the hoodie and jacket before sliding back into the ring, tossing the removed clothing into the crowd. He takes a slow turn, arms wide as he takes in the reaction from the crowd, before cracking his neck and settling into his corner.}
Alison Valance: And the Menâs World Champion, standing at 6â2ââ and 200 pounds from The Pack compound⌠DEAN HARPER!
Terri Morasco: That was a new entrance from Dean. I canât say IâmâŚcomplaining necessarily just surprised.
Vasco Dias: Heâs been changed. These things happen.
{Dean unbuckles the World Title belt and hands it to the Ref. The ref walks to belt over to Xavier who touches the center piece for a moment before nodding. The Ref shows the belt to the crowd who cheers.}
Terri Morasco: Any predictions for this match, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: A blood bath.
{The ref walks over to the pole and starts to secure the belt to it. Dean glances at the belt and then at Xavier. Xavier points to the belt and then his own waist. Dean rolls his eyes.}
Terri Morasco: Dean was staying with Xavier the last month before the choice last week.
Vasco Dias: Kidnapped. Held against his will. Kept from his father who is clearly worried about him.
{The drops back down to the ring and stands in the center, looking between Xavier and Dean before signaling for the bell. Xavier without a second thought rushes and hits Dean with a Running Dropkick to the Chest knocking him into the turnbuckle. Dean hits it hard. Xavier hits him with a couple Chops to Chest before backing off letting Dean slump slightly.}
Vasco Dias: Xavier starting things off right.
Terri Morasco: He knows he needs to keep Dean from getting momentum if he wants to keep ahead of him.
{Xavier goes to the pole, making a climb. Dean comes running with a Rear drop Kick causing Xavier to hit the mat. Dean picks Xavier up and hits him with a Snap belly-to-belly suplex into the turnbuckle right beneath the pole.}
Vasco Dias: Dean knows Xavierâs moves.
{Dean backs off only to come running back with a High running dropkick to Xavier. Then he backs off and does it again.}
Vasco Dias: Dean has some anger he has to work out.
Terri Morasco: Iâm not sure itâs directed in the right direction.
{Xavier rolls out of the way of a third causing Dean to hit the turnbuckle. Xavier gets to his feet on the outside slowly.}
Terri Morasco: That had to hurt Dean.
Vasco Dias: Xavier made a smart move but will that be enough?
{Dean clearly favoring his leg a little looks to where Xavier is standing, glances as the belt but grabs the rope and does a Diving senton to the outside knocking Xavier down.}
Vasco Dias: Dean has always been a flippy little shit but itâs like he doesnât even care about his safety.
Terri Morasco: Iâm concerned youâre right.
{Xavier gets up and hits Dean with a Lou Thesz with a Elbow Strikes to head. Xavier rolls back into the ring, using the ropes to get back up.}
Terri Morasco: Xavier wants to end this.
{ Xavier starts climbing the turnbuckle to get the belt, just as one of his fingers brushes it Dean pops up with a Step up Enzurgiri taking Xavier down to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: And Deanâs not letting him.
Vasco Dias: Dean needs that belt to feel whole. He lost something in their last match, we all saw that.
{Dean takes a moment to breath before kicking Xavier in the ribs, and turning to the pole.}
Terri Morasco: A little petty, Dean.
Vasco Dias: Itâs with in his rights.
{Just as Dean is getting close to the pole, Xavier hits him with a Snap Fisherman Suplex.}
Vasco Dias: oh, come on!
Terri Morasco: Within his rights, Vasco.
{Xavier turns to the pole himself, Dean drags himself up and hits Xavier with a Roll-through Russian legsweep followed by a flipping leg drop.}
Vasco Dias: Dean wants this bad.
{Dean hits Xavier with a Reality Break .}
Vasco Dias: Will this be the end?
Terri Morasco: Xavier wants this just as much as Dean does. I doubt thatâs enough to end this.
{ Dean climbs the turnbuckle to get to the pole. Just as heâs close enough to grab it Xavier hits him with a Bicycle kick knocking Dean to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Ouch.
Vasco Dias: Xavierâs not holding back. Nor should he.
{Dean struggles to his feet and Xavier gets him in a German Suplex, rolled into a belly to back wheelbarrow facebuster.}
Vasco Dias: Dean should think about staying down at this point.
Terri Morasco: Do you think that will work?
{Xavier goes for a kick but Dean catches it which Xavier turns into a Forged in Flame.}
Terri Morasco: Knowing Xavierâs moves doesnât always mean you can avoid them, I guess.
{Xavier looks down at Dean, âStay downâ.}
Terri Morasco: I have to agree with Cross here.
Vasco Dias: Of course you do. Itâs only just getting good.
{Dean gets back to his feet, Xavier shakes his head and hits him with a The Final Flame knocking Dean back.}
Terri Morasco: Deanâs taken a beating here.
Vasco Dias: So has Xavier.
{Xavier goes to the pole again gets to the top of the rope and glances behind him to see dean coming in for a move, dropping off the ropes to avoid being hit, handing on the outside again. Dean stands on the apron looking down at Xavier, âYou stay downâ.}
Vasco Dias: Stop flirting.
Terri Morasco: Thatâs not what twitter is suggestingâŚ
{Dean climbs the turnbuckle but Xavier kicks him in the knee dropping him back onto the mat, climbing into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Brilliant move there.
{Xavier picks Dean up and hits him with a Vertical Suplex Drop into Knee Lift.}
Terri Morasco: Dean has to be feeling this.
{Xavier moves away from Dean, shaking his head, moving for the pole again but Dean struggles his feet and hits him with a Descent into Hell.}
Terri Morasco: Dean being reckless here.
Vasco Dias: When isnât he?
{Xavier and Dean seem to be laying on the apron for a moment, catching their breath.}
Vasco Dias: These two are going to kill each other. Iâm kind of okay with it.
Terri Morasco: Vasco, you canât say that!
{Xavier glances at Dean, then the belt. Dean looks at the belt and the two get up. Xavier quickly hits Dean with a Brainbuster onto Apron.}
Terri Morasco: Ouch.
{Xavier moves off the apron. Climbing the ropes again going for the belt, but Dean grabs his leg keeping him from getting up high enough.}
Vasco Dias: Not over yet, then.
Terri Morasco: How much more can Dean take?
{Xavier looks down at Dean and tries to shake him off, but Dean seems to be using Xavierâs leg to pull himself back to his feet.}
Terri Morasco: Harper is not giving up.
{ Xavier drops down from the ropes, causing Dean to stumble a little but gets back in the ring. Xavier hits him with a Tornado DDT.}
Terri Morasco: Dean said Xavier had to knock him out to get the belt. I was hoping he wasnât being literal.
Vasco Dias: I mean, I always assume Dean is literal.
{Xavier hits Dean with a Springboard Elbow Drop.}
Terri Morasco: Another solid hit from Cross here.
{ Xavier moves from Dean, âI swear to god Harper. I donât want to kill you. Just let it goâ.}
Vasco Dias: I donât know why he is trying to reason with Harper. Heâs not one to listen to reason.
Terri Morasco: Xavier isnât a monster, Vasco.
{Xavier climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, leaning up to the belt.}
Vasco Dias: Is this it?
{Xavierâs hand brushes against the belt as Dean punches him solidly in the spine. Xavier drops to the mat. Dean gets on top of his and starts punching him with both hands. Xavier knees him in the stomach to roll free and get to his feet. Dean gets up and is breathing hard. Xavier hits him with a pele kick, trying to get some space. Dean gets up and punches Xavier in the face. Xavier hits him in the stomach.}
Vasco Dias: And weâve gone to a fist fight.
Terri Morasco: There is a lot of frustration between these two here.
{ Xavier and Dean continue to punch each other back and forth. Dean slams Xavier into the turnbuckle and Xavier sucker punches Dean in the face. Dean whips the blood from his mouth before kneeing Xavier in the stomach. Xavier hits him in the head and in the throat. Dean punches him in the side.}
Terri Morasco: The belt might be forgotten at this point.
Vasco Dias: Can you blame them? With everything theyâve thrown at each other?
{Dean and Xavier break apart, both breathing a little hard.}
Vasco Dias: They have both been putting their all into this match and neither seems willing to give up.
Terri Morasco: But they both have to have a limit somewhere.
{Dean is breathing hard, leaning against the ropes. Xavier is still holding himself up.}
Terri Morasco: Donât they?
{ âCome on harper, you got more than that!â Xavier taunts as he head-butts Dean, causing him to stagger back slightly, touching his head.}
Terri Morasco: Oh noâŚ
Vasco Dias: Yes! More petty violence!
{Dean glares before he head-butts Xavier back. Xavier head-butts Dean with a smirk. Dean hits him again and Xavier hits him again.}
Terri Morasco: These two are not letting up are they?
Vasco Dias: I hope not.
{Dean and Xavier head-butt hard, causing them both to fall to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: This is amazing.
Terri Morasco: Are they alright?
{The ref checks on both Dean and Xavier.}
Vasco Dias: Someone has to grab the belt.
{The ref looks to the time keeper who shrugs.}
Vasco Dias: This match will continue until someone gets that belt from the pole.
Terri Morasco: If you get out of your seat Vasco, I swear I will hit you.
{Xavier and Dean continue to lay in the center of the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Should medical get down here?
Vasco Dias: No! Let the match continue! We need a winner!
{Dean struggles to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth as he makes shaky way over to the turnbuckle climbing it slowly.}
Vasco Dias: Dean on his feet!
Terri Morasco: Could this be it?
{Dean stands on the top rope looking at Xavier getting back on his feet. Dean bounces once, considering.}
Terri Morasco: Dean has been reckless all match but⌠Heâs not going to do this is he?
{Dean goes for a SCREAMING FROM THE SKY but Xavier moves enough to hit with a ECHOES OF MADDNESS in the head causing dean to hit the mat hard.}
Vasco Dias: ThatâŚThat just happened.
{ a âHOLY SHITâ starts in the crowd as Xavier looks down at Dean, checking to see if heâs okay. After a moment Xavier looks up at the belt, seems to say something to Dean before climbing the turnbuckle and taking the belt off the hook.}
Terri Morasco: HE DID IT!
Alison Valance: your winner and NEW WORLD CHAMPION XAVIER CROSS!
Vasco Dias: This is unbelievable.
{Xavier falls to the mat, breathing hard. âX gonna Give it to yaâ plays over the PA as he clutches the belt to his chest. He seems to look up to take it all in. Dean rolls over to look at Xavier, the two make eye contact but neither seem to say anything.}
Terri Morasco: Xavier did it! He became the new World Champion!
Vasco Dias: He beat Dean Harper. Holy Hell.
{The lights go out, music cuts in silence for a moment before âCouncil of Wolves and Snakesâ plays over the speakers.}
Terri Morasco: Oh noâŚ
Vasco Dias: Oh YES!
{As the lights come back on God, The Oracle, and Uriel Black are standing around the ring. Xavier has the belt attached around his waist and he has a hand on Deanâs arm as if he had been dragging him away from the ropes while the lights were out.}
Terri Morasco: What are they planning to do here?
Vasco Dias: Who can say? God works in mysterious ways. Maybe he just wants to check on his baby boy?
{Oracle signals for the crowd to silence itself.}
God: Give me my son.
{Dean sits up slowly but Xavier tightens his grip and drags Dean further away.}
Xavier Cross: Heâs not your son. He made his choice. A stupid ass choice, we can agree on that but a choice.
Dean Harper: I âŚcan still hear you both, you know that right?
Uriel Black: It is Deanâs time to come home.
Xavier Cross: Couldnât agree more.
{Xavier who drags Dean out of the ring, trying to get him to go up the ramp but Dean is a little shaky on his feet.}
Uriel Black: Give it up, boy. He can barely walk.
{God points at Xavier and motions to Oracle. Oracle, climbs down from the apron and goes for Dean and Xavier.}
God: DeanâŚ
{God then looks to Xavier.}
God: and that belt belong to me.
{Xavier shakes his head.}
Xavier Cross: In your fucking dreams.
God: Both will be coming home to me.
{Deanâs feet give out as Medical and Security comes down clearly separating the Age of Gods and Xavier. Medical seems to be checking Dean out on the ramp.}
Terri Morasco: What does he hope to gain from this?
Vasco Dias: God gets what he wants. Always.
{As the Age of Gods advance on the security team and Xavier is trying to get medical to back off but they insist on taking Dean. As medical takes Dean away, Xavier sees The Pack standing at the top of the ramp keeping him from following.}
Well howdy there pardner.
