SINGLES MATCH Pandora Freeman-Hall-Kane vs Dawn Halliwell
------------------------------------
{Lights dim as the opening riffs to Shoot to Thrill hit, and flashes of white light begin to pulse along with the music as it picks up pace. The stage fills with dry ice as Dawn steps out from backstage, smiling manically and rocking out to the music. She points to the crowd and tries to get them pumped up. When the chorus hits, she raises her fists in the air as she lets out a shout of excitement punctuated by a blast of simple white pyro around her. She holds that pose until the second iteration of "Shoot to Thrill" in the chorus, at which point she charges into the ring and slides in, spinning with the momentum to her feet as she urges the crowd to get to their feet and rock along with her. After a few moments she will settle into her corner.}
Alison Valance: First down to the ring standing at five feet four inches weighing in at 125 pounds hailing from Salem, Massachusetts DAWN HALLIWELL
Terri Morasco: Dawn has had an interesting few months here in the IWF.
Vasco Dias: She left the Age of God. Iâm disappointed in her.
âWe all recognizeâŚ.That Iâm The Problem hereâ
{The lights dim, Even as the Intro to the song helps to light up UV the intro strains of "Showdown" start to play and the words start to play as Pandora rises from under floor the entrance, head lowered hands behind her back.
"It's been such a long time coming I'd thought you'd understand That's over, hate of the last Will be joining in the sand But it's simple you were wrong You must have known that we didn't not belong I know you thought I'd sold my soul But you never told me to my face I just had to let you go And blow this shit away Here we go again"
As the song kicks in fully Pan seems to explode out bouncing down the ramp lit up like a Christmas tree before mounting the apron with a full side to side apron knee slide that ends in her standing to vault over the top rope and bouncing to the beat smiling like a lunatic.}
Alison Valance: Now in the ring standing at Five feet and six inches weighing in at 160 Pounds, hailing for Hope, Michigan PANDORA FREEEMAN!
Terri Morasco: For the first time in singles competition, the winners of the 2017 and 2018 Iron Maidens! Both of these women have proven themselves to be hard as steel, but come together tonight not as enemies â but as family.
Vasco Dias: Sometimes families have to fight. Itâs common and acceptable. They are Kaneâs after all. Fighting each other should be second nature.
DING!
{Pan and Dawn walk up towards each other, smiling looking each other up and down, Pandora looking way up as the two ladies shake hands and grin widely before breaking apart and squaring off.}
Terri Morasco: A sign of respect from both of them.
Vasco Dias: Pandora shows respect to everyone, she doesnât get points for it anymore.
{Dawn grabs Pandora and goes to whip her against the ropes, but Pan swings up under Dawnâs arm and onto her shoulder before rolling off to hit Dawn with an arm drag. Dawn rolls up to her feet and as Pandora gets up herself sheâs met by a fierce uppercut that rocks her world, turning quickly to dive at a charging Dawnâs feet, Dawn rebounds off the ropes and grabs Pandora around the waist, hauling her into a german suplex!}
Terri Morasco: Pandora has the speed advantage but Dawnâs instincts are finely honed.
Vasco Dias: Dawn comes from wrestling royalty, Terri, itâs in her blood.
{Dawn notices Pandora is still moving to roll on her belly shaking the cobwebs with that now familiar smile she gets when sheâs a little rocked Dawn picks Pandora up and goes to whip her Pandora reverses and barely gives Dawn pause for thought as she comes flying in with a TANK GIRL knee strike! Dawn is more caught by surprise as she spills to the outside, shaking her own cobwebs loose as Pan then charges for the opposite ropes and then launches herself over the top rope with a TOPE CON GIRO! Sending them both to the floor as Dawn catches her! The two of them are laid on the floor!}
Terri Morasco: They certainly seem to be enjoying one another.
Vasco Dias: They might well be holding back, though. Family bond or⌠whatever. I want some BLOOD!
{The Referee is counting as the two of them roll away from each other. Pan is up first, landing a strike on Dawn⌠then a second⌠but when she goes for a Dawn grabs her around the head and hauls her hard into a LACRYMOSA, quickly rolling away to get some distance from the former Womenâs Champion. She rolls quickly into the ring to break the refâs count, then rolls back out to square off against the larger opponent. As Pandora hauls herself to her feet, Dawn snaps forward and tries to throw Pandora into the steel steps, but the Rainbow Raver blocks the effort and instead whips Dawn back into the ring. Dawn rolls into the center while Pandora jumps up on the ropes, launching off of them into a Springboard BEAT DROP⌠NO! Dawn was playing possum and leaps up, grabbing Pandora by the head and moving to reverse into a THUNDERSTRUCK⌠BUT PANDORA SHIFTS IN MIDAIR, somehow twisting under Dawn and getting her knees up, knocking the wind out of Dawn as they drive into her gut! Dawn rolls away, gasping for breath as Pandora goes for the coverâŚ
ONE!
TWO!
THRE⌠NO! DAWN BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT!
Terri Morasco: DID YOU SEE THAT?! What an incredible display of reflexes and scouting from both women, but the win in that exchange definitely goes to Pandora Freeman.
Vasco Dias: The veteran of the ring outplaying the rookie? Not surprising.
Terri Morasco: Werenât you saying Dawn was wrestling royalty just a few minutes ago? A natural wrestler?
Vasco Dias: Blood can only go so far, Terri.
{Pandora kips up and waits for Dawn to catch her breath⌠but is laid out from out of nowhere by AMBER COOKE LANDING WITH THE DYNAMIC ENTRY! Pandora collapses to the ground from the unexpected strike, and the ref calls for the bell!}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner by disqualification⌠PANDORA FREEEMAN!
Terri Morasco: No! Not like this!
Vasco Dias: Striking right at the best moment, Amber Cooke of the BFC has denied BOTH of these women any points in Heiress to the Throne!
{Amber Cooke stands over a shocked and angry Dawn Halliwell, sneering down at her with a mocking smile.}
Amber Cooke: Oh, did I hurt your new mommy, Dawn? Does that make you sad? DEAL WITH IT! YOU DONâT DESERVE A FAMILY!
{Dawn fights to her feet, but sheâs still sucking wind from the powerful blow to the gut from Pandora Freeman, and Amber is quickly able to get the best of her. Before Dawn can even seem to get her senses cleared, Amber hauls Dawn into the COOKIE CUTTER! Amber laughs as she stands over Halliwellâs beaten and senseless form before stalking out of the ring, the crowd barraging her with boos as she makes her exit.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT "Vasco Views: Featuring Rob Diamond"
------------------------------------
{ The opening intro to Vasco Views plays as we see various clips of Vasco interviewing his many guests from over the years. Finally we fade in on the ever dapper Vasco Dias who is seated properly with one leg crossed over the other with a large smile on his face. }
Vasco Dias: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another edition of the award winning wrestling talk show, Vasco Views! I am your host, Vasco Dias.
{ Piped applause is heard as he nods his head with a grin. }
Vasco Dias: Today we have an extra special guest, a close personal friend of my own and possibly the greatest wrestler in the history of the IWF to never win the World Championship. He is known as the Blood Soaked Cinderella of Professional Wrestling, the GOAT, Rob Diamond!
{ We pan back to see Rob Diamond in his lavish pink camo three piece suit, no tie because Rob Diamond isnât a sell out. Rob smiles and waves to the piped in applause. }
Rob Diamond: Honestly, itâs an honor to be hear Vasco.
Vasco Dias: The honor is all mine. Before we get into things, howâs the family?
Rob Diamond: Hope? Sheâs great! Just bought her a mini bike this past weekend and sheâs already jumping her friends with it!
{ Vasco nods his head with a grin. }
Vasco Dias: Wow, thatâs impressive!
Rob Diamond: Yup, and this weekend Iâm taking her to hunt and kill her first turkey.
Vasco Dias: AhâŚ
{ Vasco is not exactly impressed with that last bit. }
Vasco Dias: Well enough of the pleasantries. Letâs get to business here. Itâs no secret you and James Gilmore have had it in for each other since your return to IWF, can you tell me what this all stems from?
{ Rob nods and leans back. }
Rob Diamond: Well itâs actually very simple, Vasco. James Gilmore is a deplorable human being who in some realities has managed to become the president of the Future United States of America and I just canât stand for that. Are you aware that he-
Vasco Dias: We arenât here for a political debate, Rob.
Rob Diamond: Yes, of course.
Vasco Dias: But speaking of debates, it would seem James got the better of you last week in your debate. Do you have any words for what happened or the video that played?
Rob Diamond: Absolutely! First. That video was absolutely doctored! I would never threaten to deport someone over chicken wings. Ever! And I donât care how much money it takes or how far up the chains I have to go I will prove that video false.
Vasco Dias: Iâm sure you will. That being said the video seemed to upset you a great deal.
{ Rob looks at Vasco like âDUHâ. }
Rob Diamond: How would you feel if some idiot called your integrity into question?
Vasco Dias: I would be upset.
Rob Diamond: Yeah and that little dick hole upset me with his blatantly doctored video! And when I get that hairless fucking monkey in the ring Iâm going to-
{ Rob is cut off mid sentence when James Gilmore comes sprinting onto the stage and literally spears Rob right out of his chair. James goes right into the mount and begins to rain down closed fisted punches on the face of Rob Diamond. }
Vasco Dias: Holy hell! Get security quick!
{ Vasco saunters off as James just keeps pounding away on Rob. }
James Gilmore: Iâve had enough of you Diamond! You think you can just say whatever you want and get away with it!?
{ Gilmore pulls Rob up to his feet and then picks him up and scoop slams Diamond right through the coffee table that separates the two interviewing chairs. Before the attack can go any further security pours in from all sides and grabs Gilmore who is still trying to kick at Rob Diamond. }
James Gilmore: Survival of the Fittest Rob! Youâll be lucky to survive!
{ James is drug off set as Rob is only just starting to get up, medical staff moving in to check on him as we head to commercial break. }
-------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Rob Diamond vs Eddie Dread
------------------------------------
{ 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: Itâs amazing Rob is still out here to compete after what happened on Vasco Views earlier today.
Terri Morasco: Canât say Rob didnât ask for it after everything heâs said about James Gilmore.
Vasco Dias: Are you saying brutally assaulting someone is ok?
Terri Morasco: This is professional wrestling.
Vasco Dias: Disgusting.
{ Eddie Dread is already in the ring as we are waiting for the match to begin. }
Vasco Dias: Rumor has it Rob is debuting a new set of the five moves of doom.
Terri Morasco: Oh God, not this again.
Vasco Dias: This again.
{ The referee calls for the bell and Eddie Dread explodes out of his corner but Rob dodges the running clothes line attempt. Dread spins on his heels and bounces off the turnbuckles and right into the waiting arms of Rob Diamond who delivers a near perfect Hip Toss! Rob dusts his shoulder off and drops a Five Knuckle Shuffle!!! }
Vasco Dias: ONE!!!
Terri Morasco: Thatâs two moves!
Vasco Dias: Theyâre a combo so itâs one move!
Terri Morasco: If you say so.
{ Diamond pops up to his feet and gets the crowd into it holding up the single digit. Eddie pushes himself back to his feet and Rob is right there with a Fist Full of Democracy spinning backfist and the entire crowd screams- }
Vasco Dias: TWO!
Terri Morasco: Tell me this wonât be a weekly thing!?
Vasco Dias: Oh it will be!
{ Eddie is stunned and Rob doesnât waste any time to pick Dread up for an Atomic Drop that is followed right up with a devastating lunging clothesline! }
Vasco Dias: THREE!!!!
Terri Morasco: Again, two moves.
Vasco Dias: COMBO!!!!
{ Rob pulls Eddie up to his feet and hurls him into the turnbuckles where Eddie drops down onto his butt. Rob throws his hands up as the entire crowd cheers âSUCK IT!â to the massive crotch chop before Rob runs in and connects with a Bronco Buster!!! }
Vasco Dias: FOUR!!!
Terri Morasco: This is ridiculous!
{ Rob is up and Eddie staggers his way back to his feet. Rob throws up a full five fingers in the face of Eddie Dread as the crowd cheers FIVE! And Rob connects with a massive Diamond Cutter!!! Dread is down and Rob covers. }
Vasco Dias: FIVE!!!!
{ ONE! TWO! THREE! Rob yells something at the referee and he keeps going. FOUR! FIVE! }
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond has done it again! The Five Moves of Doom are unbeatable!
Terri Morasco: Another tremendous showing but I wonder when Rob is going to face someone who fights back?
Vasco Dias: No one can fight back against the five moves of doom!
{ Rob doesnât celebrate instead he calls for a microphone. }
Rob Diamond: Earlier tonight I was assaulted by James Gilmore!
{ Thereâs a smattering of cheers. }
Rob Diamond: And James, I hope you were watching tonight because Iâve got just one question for ya⌠WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE FIVE MOVES OF DOOM RUN WILD ON YOU!?
{ Rob throws the mic up in the air and shoots a crotch chop toward the camera. }
Vasco Dias: Rob is out for revenge against Gilmore.
Terri Morasco: You could say the same about Gilmore against Rob.
Vasco Dias: You could but I wouldnât.
{ Rob drops down and rolls out of the ring. Heâs walking up the ramp with a smarmy smile on his face, just barely reaching the stage entrance when JAMES GILMORE COMES FROM OUTTA NOWHERE WITH ANOTHER SPEAR!!!! Gilmore goes right back into the ground and pound method as Rob tries to block the shots!!! }
Vasco Dias: That son of a gun!
Terri Morasco: Gilmore is sick of the games!
{ Gilmore is going buck wild on Rob who is only blocking about half the head shots that are coming in. Gilmore opens a wound over the left eye of Rob as security comes pouring out from the back. }
Vasco Dias: Someone get that animal off of Rob Diamond!
Terri Morasco: I donât think James wants to wait for Survival of the Fittest!?
{ James is finally pulled off Rob again as Diamond pushes himself backward and demands they get James away from him. }
Terri Morasco: What started out as some light hearted trolling has turned into a full on feud. I donât think Rob is going to have as easy of a time with Gilmore as heâs had with his last few matches.
Vasco Dias: Gilmore will not survive the five moves of doom!
{ Rob rolls off the stage and storms to the back as Gilmore finally calms down and we head to commercial. }

SEGMENT Have you seen her? Part 1
------------------------------------
{ We see a bald-headed stranger, clad in a red overcoat and blue jeans, walking down the hallway with a bottle of water in his hand. He bumps into Terri Morasco by mistake as he peers into every empty office, obviously looking for someone. }
Stranger: Excuse me, maâam?
Terri Morasco: May I help you?
{ The man smiled as he oogled at the broadcaster⌠}
Stranger: As a matter of fact,âŚ
{ ...before pulling out a strange-looking device made from a hybrid of glass and plastic. He presses a small button on the side, revealing a holographic image of âDebbie Fisherâ--a.k.a. âOld Fionaâ from the future. }
Stranger: Have you seen a woman by the name of âDebbie Fisherâ anywhere? I was supposed to be traveling with her, but...we missed a connection by accident.
{ Terri, obviously in a bit of a rush, raised both of her brows. }
Terri Morasco: Hrmm...Debbie?! Oh yes, the kooky old Texas lady who did some commentary with us! I have no idea where sheâs at, or if sheâs even here, but...youâll find her eventually.
Stranger: Whatâs the current date?
Terri Morasco: November 19th, 2018...did you do the hokey-pokey and knock yourself out?!
{ The man covered his face with his hand, trying to hide a sheepish grin. }
Stranger: I, ummm...I think so. Perhaps Iâll tell you more about it...over a late dinner?
Terri Morasco: {giggling} Going for it early, huh?! As much as I love the invite, Iâm gonna have to pass.
{ Terri smiled, then walked towards the entrance to the stage, but she turned around and gave the âguestâ a slight wink. }
Terri Morasco: Besides...with your luck with women, youâll probably shoot your eye out.
{ The stranger watched Terri make her exit, examining her figure closely, before shaking his head. }
Stranger: {muttering} Hard to get. I like that...
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Rowan MacDonnough vs Alexis Caffery
------------------------------------
{Alexis and Rowan give the match their all. Alexis seems to have control in the early part of the match, showing that everything is going her way. Suddenly when she goes to pin Rowan the lights go out. When they come back on Rowan is standing behind Alexis. Alexis objects to Rowanâs trickery and the fight goes on. Rowan hits BALORâS GAZE.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Have you seen her? Part 2
------------------------------------
{ We see Fiona McFly sitting backstage in an empty office, reading one of her favourite novels--âWar and Peaceâ--when she hears a knock on the door. }
Fiona McFly: Come in.
{ The door swings open, revealing the mysterious stranger who tried, failing miserably one might add, to woo Terri Morasco over with his charms. He appeared to be out of breath after searching for Debbie Fisher for the last hour or so. }
Stranger: There! I finally foundâŚ
{ Yet when he saw Fiona, his eyes widened in shock. }
Stranger: Debbie!?!
{ Fiona raised her left brow. }
Fiona McFly: I...beg your pardon!?!
Stranger: You are Debbie Fisher, right?! âCuz you surely donât look like her with only one earring and a nice ass to boot...
{ Fiona took off her reading glasses--a sign that she was put off by the guestâs unusually awkward comment. }
Fiona McFly: This is a joke, right?! A fucking jokeâŚ!?!
Stranger: Seriously...for an old woman, it looks like youâve gotten yourself one helluva facelift!
{ A voice from a distance bellowed out âfound him!â as footsteps marched into the office. That booming tone could only come from Otto, the famed security supervisor, as he stepped into the picture with an expressionless look on his mug. }
Otto: Excuse me, buster...but do you have a backstage pass?
{ The stranger couldnât help but chuckle to himself as he clearly didnât have the proper credentials. }
Stranger: I, ummm...I didnât know I was -supposed- to have one.
Otto: Well...that makes perfect sense. You have a choice--either go with me and get registered for a pass like all other IWF fans do, or...my deputy Mikhail will be more than happy to show you the door.
{ We hear another set of boots marching into the picture, and the man appears to be flummoxed as he finds himself staring at Mikhail Federov--who had been, at one time, James Gilmoreâs personal bodyguard but now has a job working with Otto as his deputy, his âavenging angelâ as it were. }
Mikhail Federov: HHHHHRRRRRRMMMMMMâŚ.
{ Fiona looked slightly amused as Federov gritted his teeth. }
Fiona McFly: Lovely, if you know whatâs best for you...Iâd take door number one.
{ The stranger scoffed at the big Russian giant. }
Stranger: And who is this old geezer again, talkinâ about a pass?!
Otto: {points to himself, scowls} This old geezer...is the one giving you the choice!
{ The manâs smirk grew wider as he turned his attention towards wooing Fiona. }
Stranger: Say missy...if youâre NOT Missus Fisher, then perhaps Iâd like to ask you something. If...umm, you know, on the free agent market?!
{ Fiona stared daggers into the guestâs eyes as Mikhailâs distinctive growl got louder⌠}
Stranger: Dinner at my--
Mikhail Federov: RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{ ...and then, the big Russian took three big steps forward, yanked the stranger by the scruff of his neck, and placed him in a firemanâs carry. }
Stranger: HEY!!! PUT ME DOWN, YOU HAIRY APE!! HEY...HEEEEYYYYY..PUT ME DOOOOWWWWWNNNNNNâŚ.!!!!
{ The hapless stranger kicks and screams with no avail as he is carried away from Fionaâs personal space, but not before dropping a hockey puck-shaped object onto the carpet. Fiona bent down to pick it up and saw the distinctive logo of the Apple technology company on its side. }
Fiona McFly: Otto, what is this thingâŚ!?!
{ Otto shook his head. }
Otto: I havenât a clue, but...do you want me to put your âguestâ on the Perma-Banned List, so he can never again be backstage at an event?
{ Fiona closed her eyes for a moment as a warm burst of energy coursed through her body--signifying a peaceful aura about someone--before taking a deep breath.}
Fiona McFly: No...I donât think he means any harm. I like to believe that he simply mistook me for Debbie 'cos we both share the same complexion, but...I donât know. However, I can handle him from here...
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Jayson Matthews vs Xavier Cross
------------------------------------
{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, Michigan.âŚâŚJAYSON 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 points to the crowd with his other hand. Thanking the fans for the cheers..}
Terri Morasco: Jayson is a man on a mission. Heâs looking to gain some big momentum here tonight.
Vasco: It will be tough against the champ.
{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}
Terri Morasco: And here is the champ looking for his first win as champion.
Vasco Dias: He will get it tonight.
{Matthews and Cross size each other up as they slowly step out of their corners, the bell rings and the two begin to circle one another. Cross holds his hand up, looking to challenge Matthews to a test of strength, Jayson smirks a bit, slowly approaching their fingertips begin to dance off one another, right before Jayson goes to lock in he ducks under Crossâs arm, using his speed getting behind Xavier. Cross reaches down trying to pry away at Matthewâs grip around his waist, Jayson goes to lift Cross off the mat, but Cross sticks a foot between Jaysonâs legs retaining leverage. Xavier spins his hips, throwing a hard elbow, but Matthewâs ducks as Xavier spins around and Jayson charges both men into the corner slamming Xavier against the turnbuckle. Xavier grabs onto the ropes, as the referee gets between the two, Jayson takes a few steps back holding his arms up. But as soon as the referee steps out, Jayson charges forward, and finds nothing but turnbuckle to the chest as Xavier side steps and slips in between the ropes. As Jayson staggers out, Xavier aims a pele kick from the apron, but as the foot comes up Jayson is ready catching Xavierâs foot in midair, immediately twisting his ankle as Xavier barely catches himself on the apron now falling prey to the submission hold. Jayson begins to wrench the ankle, but Xavier grabs onto the bottom rope quickly from the outside, forcing the referee to make Jayson break the hold once more. Cross flips onto his feet on the outside, a smile on his face as he claps at Jayson, slowly making his way up the steel steps and back into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: âInteresting back and forth between these two men, who have to have each other scouted fairly decently.â
Terri Morasco: âThey had an instant classic in the Heir to the Throne tournament, and this match has started off showing signs of another one.â
{The two men circle each other, a little pep in their steps, as they lock up in the center of the ring. Cross gets an advantage with his size and weight, putting a foot behind Jayson he shoves him down. Cross motions for him to get back up, as Jayson slaps the mat, getting back to his feet as they lock up once more. Jayson shows his speed against, slipping under Xavier, getting behind him, but this time Jayson doesnât waste any time slamming Xavier face first with a reverse russian leg sweep. Jayson doesnât let up, isolating the right arm of Xavier, he puts an elbow between Xavierâs shoulders, as he pulls back on Crossâs arm. Screaming out in pain, Xavier sticks his forehead into the mat, focusing on getting out and not giving up.}
Vasco Dias: âMatthews with the advantage, using his speed and technical prowess to his advantage, the champ is in a tough spot here.â
Terri Morasco: âXavier isnât tapping, heâs dealing with the pain and working out a plan!â
Vasco Dias: âHe ainât tapping...yet.â
{Cross digs down deep, using his strength to lift Jayson up a bit as he quickly rotates under him and flips Jayson into a school boy pin! The referee slides down to make the count}
Referee: âOneâŚâ
{Matthews kicks out, as Cross quickly gets up, backing away clutching his arm a bitt, trying to shake off the damage. But Jayson comes up like fire, charging forward clotheslining Xavier right over the top rope and onto the floor below. Xavier crumbles on the ring floor, as Jayson quickly hops out of the ring, standing on the apron for a moment taking it all in as he hops down. Xavier stirs a bit, but Jayson quickly grabs him, throwing him shoulder first into the steel steps. Xavier lets out a groan, as Jayson doesnât waste any time gloating, as he throws a hard kick right into the right shoulder of Xavier Cross, starting to dial in on the injured body part. Grabbing Xavier once more, Jayson takes a few steps back, before throwing Xavier shoulder first into the ring apron. The sickening thud echoes through the arena, as Jayson slides into the ring, and back out to break the refereeâs count who had just reached four.}
Vasco Dias: âA mean streak starting to show from young Matthews tonight! Cross is a wounded animal and Jayson smells blood.â
Terri Morasco: âThe stakes are raised higher when youâre facing the world champ, especially getting this close to the extinction event.â
{Clubbing at the back of Xavier Cross, Jayson Matthews is trying to make his presence known. Tossing Cross back into the ring, Jayson slides in after him. But Xavier keeps rolling until heâs on the opposite side of the ring on the apron, lifting himself up. Matthews gets to his feet marching over, but Cross ducks under the rope throwing his injured shoulder into the gut of Matthews. Cross springboards, and rolls over the top of Jayson, who turns around and is caught square in the jaw with a Pele Kick! Matthews staggers back the corner as Cross takes a few steps back, firing the crowd up as he charges forward. Jayson throws an elbow up as Cross runs right into it, slamming face first as he staggers backwards clutching his face. Jayson looks around, as he pushes himself to the second turnbuckle. Keeping eye on Cross, who is staggering around, as soon as Cross turns to face him. Jayson leaps from the second turnbuckle to the top, throwing himself off for the BananaCanRana! But...wait, Xavier catches him in the momentum, Matthews is exposed as heâs laid out upside down in Xavierâs grasp, Xavier puts his feet over Matthewâs arms and drops him on his head onto the mat Winter is Coming!}
Vasco Dias: âBy Allah! Jayson Matthews may be paralyzed!â
Terri Morasco: âHow did Xavier catch him?!â
Vasco Dias: âItâs all over now but the crying, hopefully theyâll find someone to replace Jayson at the pay per view.â
{Xavier drops to his knees, falling on top of Jayson Matthews, as the referee counts the pinfall.}
Referee: âOne...twoâŚ.threeâŚâ
Vasco Dias: âCross has done it...waitâŚ.No!â
Terri Morasco: âThe referee is waving it off, Matthewâs foot was on the bottom rope!â
{Xavierâs eyes go wide looking down at Jayson, and at the referee. Standing up, Cross holds three fingers up, shaking his head as the referee points at the rope. Xavier begins laughing, shaking his head as he kneels down to lift Jayson up. But the kid has some fight left in him, throwing a hard right into the gut of Xavier Cross. As Xavier drops a clubbing forearm across the back of Jayson, Jayson takes it and fires back a stiff right jab of his own, finally getting to his feet albeit a little wobbly. Jayson throws a hard right, and another, and another, before stepping back, giving it the olâ wind up, his arm rotates like a windmill over and over, before finally his fist connects with a huge uppercut knocking Xavier off his feet, and into the air, before crashing to the mat below.}
Terri Morasco: âWHAT A STRIKE FROM JAYSON MATTHEWS!â
Vasco Dias: âHe winded that thing up about a hundred times, I think Cross is seeing stars.â
{Jayson looks down at Cross, holding his own neck, rolling it a bit hearing a soft pop. Reaching down, he lifts Xavier up, sizing him up for a moment before throwing a hard chop across Xavierâs chest, who straights up.}
Xavier Cross: âCâmon kid, thatâs all you got?â
{Jayson throws another chop, harder this time. Xavier shakes his head holding his arms open.â
Xavier Cross: âCOME ON!â
{Jayson throws a stiff forearm sending Xavier staggering into the ropes. Jayson throws another hard strike, before irishing whipping Xavier, but Cross reverses it, and jerks Jaysonâs arm right into him as Cross lifts him up with a perfect spinebuster!}
Vasco Dias: âGoodness, Cross was daring Matthews to hit him harder, and look where that got him.â
Terri Morasco: âThere for a second, I thought Jayson was going to knock Cross out, but I, that was a perfect form of a spinebuster.â
{Shaking his head, Cross knocks the cobwebs loose from those forearms Jayson threw earlier. The kid begins to stir, rolling over to the ring ropes, using them to lift himself back to his feet. Cross sees Jayson stirring and charges over, but Jayson ducks down lowering the top rope, causing Cross to flip over the ropes, barely grabbing on Cross catches himself on the ring apron. Matthews quickly hits Cross with a spinning backfist, barely holding on Xavier is in a daze. Matthews looks at Cross, then the turnbuckle, and the crowd. Taking a few steps back, Jayson springboards off the middle turnbuckle throwing himself over the ropes, and catching Xavier with a hurricanrana sending both them flying down to the ring floor. Jayson landing on his knees, Cross slams backfirst onto the ground, arching his back in pain.}
IWF Galaxy: âHOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!â
Vasco Dias: âJayson Matthews throwing caution to the wind!â
Terri Morasco: âBoth men are damaged, and spent, can either return to their feet before the referee finishes his count?â
Referee: âOneâŚ..twoâŚâ
{Cross rolls over onto his stomach, clutching his back. He puts his head onto the floor below, trying to get to his feet. Jayson is in a daze, a bit of shock that his stunt worked off. Grabbing onto the steel steps, he slowly tries to push himself up, laying stomach first onto the steps holding himself up, his legs shaking like a colt.}
Referee: âthreeâŚ.fourâŚâ
Vasco Dias: âTheyâre stirring, but I canât imagine they can get in the ringâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âThere is no quit in either of these men!â
{Cross makes it to his feet, staggering a bit into the barricade as Jayson has pulled himself onto the apron now.}
Referee: âFive...sixâŚâ
{Jayson rolls into the ring, laying on his back looking up at the lights. Xavier tries to shake off the pain.}
Referee: âSeven...eightâŚ.nineâŚâ
{Xavier shoves off the barricade sliding into the ring, rolling next to Jayson. The crowd are on their feet, trying to will both men on to continue fighting.}
Vasco Dias: âBoth live to fight another day, but I think whoever can get to their feet first, is going to take home this win.â
Terri Morasco: âAt what cost? These two are leaving it all on the line for what? Itâs not a title match?â
Vasco Dias: âTo see whoâs the bigger pain in the ass?â
Terri Morasco: Jayson is to his feet first and now he is signaling for the end. He heads to the apron, Maybe looking for another high risk maneuver.
Vasco Dias: Is that the best idea? Xavier already shut it down once.
{Jayson waits for Xavier to pull himself to his feet. The champ looks dazed and Jayson goes for the shot. Xavier turns it back on and goes to catch Jayson. But Jayson springboards across to the other side of the nearby turnbuckle and springboards off those ropes and catches Cross with one hell of a tornado ddt that spikes him into the mat!}
Terri Morasco: Did you see that? Jayson countered the counter! Heâs adapting on the fly!
Vasco Dias: Heâs crawling for a cover! Could he pin the champion?
{The ref slides into position and counts. One...twoâŚ.but Xavier gets a shoulder up. Jayson looks surprised but quickly regains his focus he gets up and starts stomping on the knees and legs of Xavier Cross.}
Terri Morasco: There is that mean streak weâve noticed from Jayson lately. Heâs been much more focused lately.
Vasco Dias: Going for documented weak spots and softening up Xavier Cross.
{Jayson stomps him a few times and starts dragging him to his feet. Xavier tries to fight back but those stomps really knotted up his legs.}
Terri Morasco: Jayson taking control of the champ here.
Vasco Dias: Yeah he's showing how all that preparation pays off.
{Xavier manages to get his legs underneath him and break out of Jaysonâs grip. He goes for an uppercut but Jayson pulls back to dodge. He follows with a stiff forearm to the mouth of Xavier that dazed the world champ and then another one. Xavier staggers back and drills Jayson with a couple forearm shots of his own. Both men staggering around a bit.}
Terri Morasco: These men are giving it everything they have.
Vasco Dias: What If neither of these guys makes it to the Extincion?
{Xavier fires up and lands a couple hard elbows and strikes that dazed him. Xavier takes a few steps back and goes for the Echoes of Madness but Jayson ducks it. He doesnât however duck the one that Xavier came with from behind! Xavier hooks the leg.}
1âŚ.2âŚ..3!!!
Terri Morasco: Xavier did it. He defeated Jayson and secured some much needed momentum going into the Extinction Cage!
Vasco Dias: Itâs gonna be hype!
------------------------------------
SEGMENT "On the same page?"
------------------------------------
{The camera finds Bob and Xavier backstage drinking some smoothies.} Bob Pooler: Hey, Xavier, congratulations on winning the world title. Xavier Cross: Thanks. Congrats on breaking Spikeâs record. Bob Pooler: Thanks, man. Xavier Cross: So extinction event. We on the same page right? Bob Pooler: Yeah, I think so. I mean, Andrew and Devlin are my friends. Xavier Cross: Mine too. But I just got this belt. I âm not giving it up for anything. Bob Pooler: Exactly. So weâre helping each other out on this. Xavier Cross: Yeah, of course. {The camera pans over to where Charity Crowne is sitting glaring at Brooklyn and Gabriela is reading a book.} Bob Pooler: You girls on the same page? Charity Crowne: Ha! Like we can even trust Cross. Xavier Cross: What? Why? Gabriela Luna Si, tu amor is on the other side of the ring. Xavier Cross: I mean, yeah, she is. But weâre a team, arenât we? Team work. Brooklyn There isnât anyone on this team I trust. Charity Crowne: The feeling is mutual, bitch. {Gabi sets down her book.} Gabriela Luna I could take out both of you spoiled brats on my own. {Bob walks over, clearly trying to defuse the situation.} Bob Pooler: Hey, hey, letâs not fall apart yet, okay? We all want to keep our titles, donât we? Means working together to ensure that. Brooklyn You trust God to protect your belts? {Xavier and Bob exchange a look.} Xavier Cross: No one knows where Angel is. Iâm sure heâs busy planning a kidnapping or a sermon or something. Bob Pooler: Iâm sure he wants to keep his belt safe just as much as the rest of us. Can we agree to not back stab each other during this?
{Charity rolls her eyes, Gabi shrugs and Brooklyn just stares ahead.} Xavier Cross: At least not actively working against each other right? Right.
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Warren Kane vs James Gilmore
------------------------------------
{Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance" begins to play as jets of water shoot out from all directions. We then see James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, headbanging to the classic speed metal tune, before posing to the crowd and walking down to the ring. }
Vasco Dias: Well, I might be reading into things too much, but Gilmore looks pretty pissed off.
Terri Morasco: Well both he and Warren have exchanged some tough words this week, and after what Warren had to say in his promo, I wouldnât blame him for being angry.
{The lights go out as the needle scratch sounds of Bring Me The Horizonâs âThroneâ begins to play. White strobe lights flash in time with the song, as smoke rises on the stage, a shadow begins to form}
âRemember the moment, you left me alone, and? Broke every promise you ever made. I was ocean, lost in the open, nothing could take the pain awayâ
{As the chorus kicks in the lights turn read and focus down on the rampway as Warren Kane, in full Demon Prince mode rises to his feet with a sick smile on his face and begins to stalk towards the ring.}
âSo you can throw me to the wolves. Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack. Beat me, black, and blue. Every wound will shape me. Every scar will be my throoo-oh-ohoh-oooooh-oh-ohoh!â
{By this time Warren rolls into the ring and crawls to the corner, crouching into the bottom turnbuckle, and focusing his eyes across the ring, his tongue slowly stick out all the way as he smiles sadistically before bringing it back in. The music slowly dies down, the lights return to normal and Warren slowly rises, symbolically, taking his place in the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Well that was certainly something.
Vasco Dias: Warren Kane is out here in full Demon Prince paint, with a new entrance theme, and clearly? A new attitude. Weâre in for a show tonight Terri.
{The referee calls for the bell and it rings in response. James Gilmore slowly begins to pace from the left to the right as he enters the center of the ring, but Warren hasnât moved, he simply smiles up at Gilmore.}
James Gilmore: Come on! Letâs go dude!
{James shouts at Warren to go, but Warren just chuckles in response. Gilmore throws his hands up, and turns to the ref to ask what he should do, and as he does Warren launches out of the corner and connects on Gilmore with a slingblade taking James down.}
Terri Morasco: Oh! A cheap shot by Warren there!
{Warren picks Gilmore up and whips him off the ropes, clotheslining him hard over them. Gilmore goes over backwards with such force that he stumbles right up to the crowd, and almost causes a woman in the front row to drop her 10oz Coca Cola. James Gilmore begins apologising to the woman for almost knocking her drink out of her hand. The woman seems to be enjoying the attention, and accepts the apology, but just as Gilmore turns around Warren Kane comes speeding around the corner on the floor and nails James with a front dropkick with such force that it forces him over the security barrier, and into the crowd! He falls into the front row and the women spills her 10oz Coca Cola all over Gilmore.}
Vasco Dias: Aaaahahaha! Heâs covered in Coke!
Terri Morasco: Oh, Iâm sure that is not going to sit well with James Gilmore!
{Warren is lying on the outside, having not moved after hitting the move and is simply laying there laughing. A fair chunk of the crowd are laughing as well, however the lady in the front row, and her friends have all helped James Gilmore to his feet, despite security trying to stop them from touching him. The woman whoâs drink got spilt gives James a slap on the ass as he climbs over the barrier and charges the backpedalling Warren Kane.}
Terri Morasco: Did you see that Vasco? The people literally helped Gilmore to his feet!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, but theyâre the kind of lunatics that would vote for this idiot.
{Gilmore manages to grab Warren and mount him, raining down punches, before he slowly drags Warren to his feet and rolls him back into the ring. Warren scampers across the ring, and as James tries to climb in, Warren launches into the air and hits a huge draping DDT on Gilmore.}
Vasco Dias: Oooh, I think Warren pushed Gilmores buttons there.
Terri Morasco: Which he either meant to do, or might be a mistakeâŚ.or both.
{Warren drags Gilmore into the middle of the ring, before he climbs to the top rope. The crowd rise to their feet, ready for Kane to fly. Warren looks out and notices, before sneering, and then jumping down off the top rope, and instead stalking Gilmore. The crowd boo, but it just makes Warren smile. Gilmore staggers to his feet, and Kane goes for the Chrysoar but James Gilmore manages to side step it and hit Kane with a german suplex to a huge pop from the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: Warren was looking to end the match right there, but Gilmore had other ideas!
Vasco Dias: Iâm no even sure he meant to dodge that attack, I think the Coke is still in his eyes and he was stumbling.
{James Gilmore whips Warren off the ropes and hits him with a stiff elbow that staggers Warren. Gilmore then hits the ropes and comes back with a kitchen sink that takes Warren down to the ground. James quickly follows Kane falling and covers himâŚ...ONE! âŚ...TWO-KICKOUT! The crowd pop a little, but then sigh as Warren kicks out. James sits up and nods his head, knowing what he needs to do. He rises to his feet and slowly drags Warren Kane to his.}
Vasco Dias: Did he really think heâd win off of that!?
Terri Morasco: Maybe, but heâs looking to end it now!
{Gilmore has Warren up for the Hang Ten but suddenly the Imperitron flickers to life with the American Flag waving across the whole screen before cutting to a random field somewhere. A puppy is playfully running around the field, enjoying the freedom before a man runs onto the screen, a man whoâs face has had that of James Gilmoreâs very poorly superimposed onto it, across the field and punts the puppy up into the air, and tumbling down the hill. The man with Gilmoreâs face turns to the camera and gives a thumbs up.}
Vasco Dias: Gilmore just kicked a puppy! A puppy!
Terri Morasco: Oh come on Vasco, we both know that was not James Gilmore, and was probably a ploy by Rod Diamond.
Vasco Dias: Gilmoreâs not too happy about this -oh, roll up!
{Inside the ring Warren grabs Gilmore from behind while heâs distracted and the ref drops for the pin. ONE! âŚ..TWO! âŚ...THREE!!! The referee calls for the bell as Gilmore pops out of the pinfall. Warren slides backwards to the turnbuckle, as he did at the begining of the match. Gilmore is right up to his feet and screaming at the referee but a huge roar from the crowd signals the arrival of Rob Diamond!}
Terri Morasco: What is happening!?
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond just helped Warren Kane win, and now heâs out here in person!
{Rob slides into the ring, as Gilmore manages to side step the referee. Diamond charges James and nails him with a spear, taking him to the ground and pummeling the absolute shit out of him. Gilmore tries to defend himself, but Rob is just laying into him. In the corner Warren cocks his head, but smiles.}
Terri Morasco: Somebody do something! We canât let this go on.
Vasco Dias: Why not Terri? Politics never solves anything, a good old fashioned fist fight solves everything.
Terri Morasco: Thatâs literally the wrong way roundâŚ
{Eventually security begin to flood the ring and start dragging Rob Diamond off of James Gilmore. A few officers pull Gilmore out of one side of the ring, and a much larger group drags Rob Diamond out of the opposite. As Rob slides out, he looks up to Warren and throws him a Too Sweet. Warren smirks, and hits Rob back with the Too Sweet. As the officers drag Rob up the stage, he blows a kiss to Warren, and despite wearing the war paint, Warren noticeably blushes.}
Terri Morasco: Iâm going to pull my hair out, what is going on!?
Vasco Dias: Well, either Rob just joined the Pack, or Warren never left InFamousâŚ..I think.
------------------------------------
SEGMENT "Daddy Dearest."
------------------------------------
{Dean is sitting in the dark with only a single white candle lighting the scene.}
âLast show you dedicated a match to me, Daddy Dearest. Youâve talked a big game about how much you want me. How sure of your victory you are.â
{Dean smiles.}
âOne could be almost tempted.â
{Dean glances to the side of the camera.}
âMaybe some part of me wants to do all the shit Jayson says Daddy Dearest gave him before taking it all away. All the playing catch and being told youâre proud of me. Maybe some part of me longs for that more than anything.â
{Dean shakes his head.}
â You know I used to prey to you, right? Every. Single. Day.â
{Dean props his hands on his chin.}
âBut the beatings continued. I wanted just one sign. ONE. SINGLE. SIGN. The things she was saying about me wasnât true. But I got nothing but static. Nothing but silence to your indifference. The first time I asked the voice that would become My Lady to make it stop; I watched as one of my bullies fall down the stairs and broke his arm.â
{Dean smiles.}
âYou donât give a shit about anything. At least Abaddon let me know she loved me before I got a piece of gold. You couldnât even see what I was even when I was practically in your lap, begging for a purpose. I was nothing to you until I was something to her.â
{Dean leans back so heâs barely visible in the fire.}
âLetâs not pretend that I mean anything now.â
{The candle goes out.}
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Jessica Reed vs Helena Sawyer
------------------------------------
{The match is a hotly-contested back-and-forth, with both women trying desperately to build momentum before the Extinction Event. The early pace is largely set after Jessica goes for a crossbody and is caught into a backbreaker, with Helena punishing Jess's ribs throughout the contest. Jess mounts a comeback after countering a Lithium Kiss attempt with a spinning knee, though, and manages to secure a hard-fought win with a LOLidrop. After the match, Helena winks up at Jess from the canvas, blowing her a kiss as the Hall of Famer celebrates.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT "Face Off." ------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: This is exciting Terri. Right here, right now we are going to have the Champions and Challengers teams face to face in the middle of that ring before the Extinction Event next week at Survival of the Fittest.
Terri Morasco: Does anyone think this is going to end well?
Vasco Dias: No, absolutely not. This is going to be a glorious disaster.
{ The crowd begins to roar as Xavier Cross makes his way out onto the stage to then be followed by Brooklyn Maddrox to a mixed reaction then Bob Pooler to a huge pop, then Charity Crowne to cheers and finally Gabriella Luna. Team Champions makes their way toward the ring. }
Vasco Dias: We have a very diverse team of champions this year between Brooklyn with the Pack, her rival in Charity Crowne and then guys like Cross and Pooler who have stood up for IWF.
Terri Morasco: I honestly donât expect team Champions to get along very well during this match but then you could say that most years.
Vasco Dias: I feel like team Champions, with the addition of God who isnât here tonight is perhaps the most volatile team weâve ever had.
{ Next up we have team Challenger lead by the fan favorite Andrew Jacobsen, shortly followed by Jessica Reed to a massive reaction then Devlin Raine to a big pop followed by Vivienne Rodgers to cheers, Helena Sawyer and finally Jayson Matthews. }
Terri Morasco: The Pack has representation on both teams here which will make an interesting in ring dynamic.
Vasco Dias: Absolutely, not to mention fierce rivals in Jayson and God, Andrew and God, Vivienne and Brooklyn. Theyâre a lot of combustible ingredients here.
{ The Challengers make their way to the ring, each one climb in a different way and facing off with the Champions. Cross is face to face with Andrew, Bob with Jayson and Devlin, Brooklyn and Vivienne, Helena and Gabriella, Charity and Vivienne. }
Vasco Dias: You can feel the tension.
Terri Morasco: This is definitely a powder keg.
{ Cross pulls a mic out with a bit of a smile. }
Xavier Cross: Look. We all know why weâre out here and it isnât to have a debate.
{ The crowd pops at the implication of a brawl. }
Vasco Dias: Xavier getting right to the point.
Terri Morasco: I mean, this is pro wrestling and that is what usually happens.
{ Cross looks around as the crowd chants âFIGHT!â }
Xavier Cross: I feel like we should give the fa-
{ Xavier is suddenly cut off as all the lights in the arena go out and the crowd goes absolutely nuts. }
Vasco Dias: I think God just made it to the party!!!
{ The lights come back on and Angel Blake is face to face with Xavier Cross. Cross smirks but Blake fires off a Genocide Kick right to the jaw of his partner for next week and current world champion!!!! }
Vasco Dias: God just kicked Crossâ jaw off!!!!
Terri Morasco: Xavier is his partner next week!
Vasco Dias: I donât think God cares!
{ This incites a battle as Jayson Matthews and Bob Pooler both go for Angel Blake, Vivienne lunges at Brooklyn, Charity shrugs and goes after Jessica. Andrew and Devlin step back and then try to pull Jayson off Angel but Matthews slugs them. Gabriella and Helena are going at it now. }
Vasco Dias: All hell has broken loose!
Terri Morasco: As we knew it would!
{ Vivienne and Brooklyn roll to the outside. Security starts to pour out from the back. Jayson goes to tackle Angel but Blake moves and Matthews runs into Cross. Pooler shoves Andrew. Jess and Charity are going at it. }
Vasco Dias: This is why I love November and Survival of the Fittest!!!
Terri Morasco: Because everyone fights!?
Vasco Dias: HELL YEAH!!!!
{ Security starts to pull everyone apart. Jayson once again goes for Angel but the Oracle and Uriel have joined him on the ramp. Charity and Jessica are separated as are Gabriella and Helena. Andrew and Devlin are arguing with Pooler who is standing side by side with Cross. }
Vasco Dias: Survival of the Fittest brings out everyone's true competitive spirit. Some of these people may respect each other but once their in the Extinction Event theyâre all rivals.
Terri Morasco: Thereâs no friends, only tenuous alliances and it looks like we donât even have those this year!
Vasco Dias: As it damn well should be!
{ Security is trying to usher everyone away from each other and to the back as we head to a commercial break. }
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Dean Harper vs Uriel Black
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: I have to admit I was not expecting this match up.
Vasco Dias: Are you really? Itâs one of the few members of the Age of God and The Pack that have not faced each other.
Terri Morasco: Iâm not saying I wasnât expecting these two to clash sooner or later. Iâm just surprised by the timing.
Vasco Dias: God wants his son to come home.
Terri Morasco: Maybe Dean Harper has a frequent kidnapping card nowâŚ
{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: standing at 6â2ââ and weighing in at 200 pounds, representing The PackâŚ. DEAN HARPER!
Terri Morasco: Dean has been quiet since losing The World Title belt to Xavier Cross.
Vasco Dias: Heâs said a couple things on twitter, Terri. But youâre not wrong.
{The crashing opening chords of "Burn in Hell" by Dimmu Borgir sound through the PA, and Uriel Black walks through the curtain, head bowed as he stridently ignores the boos of the crowd. He steps to the head of the ramp, kneeling down, and clasps his hands in prayer, head bowed as the lyrics begin.}
Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in child, take my hand Here there's no work or play Only one bill to pay There's just five words to say as you go down Down Down...
YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL!
{As the words ring out, Uriel springs to his feet, arms wide as he walks down the ramp, bellowing defiantly. He leaps onto the apron, turning to face the entrance ramp with his arms hooked over the top rope. After a moment of scanning the crowd, he steps between the ropes, shrugging off his jacket. Uriel tosses it to the side as he walks to a corner and kneels in prayer once more, waiting for the match to begin.}
Alison Valance: standing at 6â8ââ and weighing in at 285 pounds representing The Age of God⌠URIEL BLACK!
Terri Morasco: Uriel is the most recent addition to the Age of God but he has certainly made an impression. Heâs gone after Ethan King. Heâs gone after Jayson Matthews. He jumped Mike Laslow.
Vasco Dias: We can only hope that Uriel can handle Harper. He has a tendency to win victories even when the odds seem against him.
{Dean moves to the center of the ring, the ref tries to get him to move back. Uriel moves right up to him, staring down at Dean.}
Terri Morasco: The bell hasnât even rung yet!
Vasco Dias: Yes! I want some ultra-violence!
{Dean gets in Urielâs face as the ref tries to separate them. Uriel pushes the ref out of the way, getting an inch away from Deanâs face. Dean closes the distance and seems to kiss Uriel.}
Terri Morasco: UhhhhâŚ.
Vasco Dias: WHAT?
{Uriel punches Dean in the side of the head knocking down to the mat, Dean laughs loudly. The ref signals for the bell.}
Vasco Dias: Dean justâŚ
Terri Morasco: I mean, thatâsâŚdifferent.
Vasco Dias: If he was going to do that to anyone I was expecting Devlin or maybe Cross?
Terri Morasco: Or you know, his boyfriend?
Vasco Dias: Too predictable.
{Dean rushes over and hits Uriel with a Step up Enzurgiri knocking the taller man to the mat. Dean then hits him with a Frankensteiner.}
Vasco Dias: I suppose that was a way to try and get the muscle of The Age of God off his game.
{Uriel gets up, looking extremely angry yelling something at Dean who winks at him.} Vasco Dias: What is Harperâs game plan here?
Terri Morasco: I have no idea.
{Dean charges over and hits Uriel with a Spinning Side Kick, knocking him into the turnbuckle. Dean grabs onto both ropes to get in a few repeated knee strikes to the Urielâs midsection.}
Terri Morasco: This strategy seems to be working out well for him at least.
Vasco Dias: I suppose it is.
{Uriel headbutts Dean, sending the other man back to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: I think it may have also backfired
Terri Morasco: Iâm not sure flirting with a member of Angelâs faction was going to go well.
{ Uriel strides forward and drops some Mounted elbows to the prone form of Dean.}
Terri Morasco: Uriel is really going for Dean here.
{ Uriel lifts Dean up and hits him with a Backbreaker.}
Terri Morasco: That has to hurt.
Vasco Dias: Deanâs used to taking some punishment. ThatâŚThat came out wrong.
{ Uriel hits Dean with a Snake Eyes across the top rope, dropping Dean to the mat who rolls and pulls himself up.}
Terri Morasco: Dean trying to get back to his feet here. Can he get things turned around?
Vasco Dias: Depends. I am fairly sure Uriel is going to make an example of Dean here.
{Dean rushes over and hits Uriel with a Headscissors DDT.}
Vasco Dias: Dean doesnât know when to give up.
Terri Morasco: Does anyone in The Pack?
{Dean goes for the pin 1 KICKOUT}
Vasco Dias: Close but not close enough.
{Uriel pushes Dean off of him. Dean does for a double knee strike but Uriel catches him and turns it into a Powerslam.} Vasco Dias: Uriel getting the upper hand here.
Terri Morasco: Uriel is a tough competitor.
{Uriel goes for a Suffer for Faith dropping Dean hard.}
Terri Morasco: Thatâs one of Urielâs signature moves here. Is he going to go for the pin?
Vasco Dias: Of course he is, Terri. Pay attention.
{Uriel goes for the pin 1 2 Dean grabs Uriel by the hair and hits him with a knee to the face.}
Vasco Dias: Ow.
Terri Morasco: Thatâs one way to break a pin.
{ Dean gets up and hits Uriel with a Jawbreaker.}
Terri Morasco: Deanâs making a statement here.
{Uriel pulls himself up in the turnbuckle but Dean comes over with a High running dropkick.}
Terri Morasco: Dean might be turning around things on this match.
Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure it will be enough.
{the ref makes Dean move away from Uriel in the corner.}
Terri Morasco: Uriel getting a moment to breathe.
{Dean hits Uriel with a Bicycle knee. He stands over Uriel and comments, âDonât tell me Iâm too much for you already.â}
Vasco Dias: Dean, poking the bear again.
Terri Morasco: Phrasing?
{With a Backbreaker Uriel drops Dean to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Uriel getting the upper hand again.
{ Uriel picks Dean up for a Wrath's Ruin and Deanâs head turns towards Urielâs. The move lands a little sloppy with Uriel letting out a sound of pain.}
Terri Morasco: What happened there?
Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure.
{Uriel rolls slightly, clutching his ear. He moves his hand back to see a little bit of blood. The camera focuses on the teeth marks on his ear.}
Terri Morasco: Did⌠Did Dean bite his ear?
Vasco Dias: Apparently.
{Dean smirks with blood on his teeth at Uriel.}
Vasco Dias: Look at that smirk. He has a death wish.
{âYou up-jumped little twink!â Uriel presses Dean into the ropes choking him with both hands. The ref starts counting for Uriel to let go. Dean seems to smile at Uriel and say something just as the taller man lets go and is moved back by the ref.}
Vasco Dias: I canât imagine this teasing is doing Harper any favors.
{The ref goes to check Dean but he waves him off. Dean motions to his own throat and seems to mouth âharderâ. Uriel laughs, shaking his head going for a Short-arm clothesline that Dean ducks just in time.} Vasco Dias: Dean is playing with fire here.
Terri Morasco: Heâs been playing with fire the whole match.
{Dean hits Uriel with a Bicycle kick to the back before moving back, motioning Uriel forward.}
Terri Morasco: Deanâs getting back on his feet after that choke.
Vasco Dias: I assume itâs not the first timeâŚ
{Dean hits Uriel with a Running kneelift into a hangmanâs neckbreaker.}
Vasco Dias: Dean getting some momentum back off of that.
Terri Morasco: I mean⌠Yeah, I guess he would have to.
{ Dean takes a running head start and hits Uriel with a Descent into Hell on the apron.}
Terri Morasco: Uriel has taken some pretty hard hits here.
{Dean drags him by the leg into the ring and goes for the turnbuckle.}
Vasco Dias: Is this going to be what I think it is?
Terri Morasco: Iâm not sure.
{Dean lands the SCREAM FROM THE SKY knocking Uriel to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Dean landed his favorite move
Vasco Dias: Will it be enough?
{Dean straddles Uriel and lifts one of his legs for the pin 1 2 3!!}
Alison Valance: WinnerâŚDEAN HARPER!
Terri Morasco: Looks like that was finally enough to put Uriel down.
Vasco Dias: Iâm not sure Iâd say that but he did get pinned.
{Dean stands to his feet as âHand that Feedsâ Plays. Uriel sits up and hits Dean with a Hammerlock Russian legsweep dropping Dean to the mat. Uriel gets on top of Dean holding him down by the throat as he seems to whisper something before getting up as Security rushes the ring.}
