SINGLES MATCH
Freakke vs Mr. Happy
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: We get to see a match between the two clown personas of the IWF.
Vasco Dias: Saying persona seems like a sex thing.
Terri Morasco: Only you would think that.
Vasco Dias: It happened. Both should just get over it.
Terri Morasco: Easy for you to say.
{ Mr Happy by icp plays. Mt Happy comes down the ramp. He throws a strawberry faygo on the crowd. He jumps into the ring and bounces around.}
Alison Valance: First down to the ring, MR HAPPY
Terri Morasco: Itâs been a little bit since Mr. Happy has gotten a challenge at OFN.
Vasco Dias: I meanâŚwho wants to be in the ring with him anyways.
{ The lights flicker with the music's first notes. The painted miscreant enters the arena and slowly begins to make his way to the ring, slowly moving along the barricades to get in touch with his cretins. As he gets to the ring, he reaches up and uses the ropes to launch himself up onto the apron before somersaulting over them and into the ring. Once inside Freakke goes to the corners and clambers up to call on the fans to get loud. As his music dies, he turns to face his opponent.}
Alison Valance: Second down to the ring⌠The Freakke!!
Terri Morasco: freakke has had a pretty good return since he came back to the company.
Vasco Dias: Heâs gotten lucky.
{ As soon as the bell rings Happy is across the ring and hits Freakke with a hip toss.}
Terri Morasco: Happy coming out of the gate strong.
Vasco Dias: Happy knows what he wants.
{ Freak hits Happy with a Missile Drop Kick.}
Terri Morasco: Freakke countering back.
Vasco Dias: Itâs hot clown on clown action.
{ Happy hits Freakke with a gut wrench slam knocking him down to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: And now Happy is in control
Terri Morasco: Freak still has a chance here
{Freakke hits Happy with a Cross Body Chop.}
Vasco Dias: Freakke certainly is getting a work out.
{Happy grabs Freakke and tickles him relentlessly. Freakke tries to get away but Happy uses his size and weight to keep freakke away.}
Vasco Dias: The dreaded tickle attack!
Terri Morasco: Is that a new move?
{ Happy goes for the pin

2
KICK OUT}
Terri Morasco: Freakke Kicked out despite Happy continuing to tickle him.
Vasco Dias: You ever been tickled by Mr Happy? Itâs hard to get away.
{ Freakke hits Happy with a Spinning Heel Kick followed by a Technicolor.}
Vasco Dias: Well look at that.
Terri Morasco: He might have it here..
{ Freakke hits Happy with a SMILEDRIVER .}
Terri Morasco: He does!!
{ Freakke goes for the pin

3!!}
Alison Valance: And youâre winner⌠FREAKKE!
Terri Morasco: Freakke was able to put Mr Happy away!
Vasco Dias: I wouldnât say away. Down maybe.
{ Freakke stands tall in the middle of the ring with his arm raised. Mr Happy gets up and bear hugs Freakke tightly much to the other clownâs confusion.}

SEGMENT
Mandi Matthews-Bates has some words with Cyrstal
------------------------------------
{The scene opens up backstage to find MMB standing next to Rachel Grimes.}
Rachel Grimes: You know, Mandi, Iâm sure that things have been tough in your personal life. But now as of last week your now future ex-husband has been granted access back into the company. What are your thoughts?
MMB: Iâm sure my thoughts are fairly obvious. I thought maybe I could use wrestling to get away from him and everything thatâs going wrongâŚ.but nowâŚ.because of some kid...heâs three doors down the hall? I donât blame Jess Fowler for what he had to do, I mean how can you say no in that situation? Itâs justâŚ.ughâŚ.â
{Suddenly, Crystal Zdunich comes walking up with a cocky grin on her face.}
Crystal Zdunich: Oh Mandi, still crying about that dumpster fire known as Steve Awesome? When are you going to get a grip and tell me that I was right and you were wrong? You thought your beloved Steve was such a golden boy now. But everyone knew the truth but you. Tell me I was right.
{MMB glares at Crystals smug face. It burned her to do so, but she couldnât deny that Crystal was right all along.}
MMB: Fine. You were right and I was wrong. Steve is a conniving jerk and I just refused to admit it. Happy?
{Crystal laughs arrogantly.}
Crystal Zdunich: Oh god. It felt better than I expected it too. Like you imagine how something is going to go and it just blows all expectations out of the water.
{Crystal continues to laugh in Mandiâs face.}
MMB: Great. Are we done here?
{Crystal wipes a tear from her eye as her laughter fades into a chuckle.}
Crystal Zdunich: Oh yeah. I canât wait to go back and laugh about this some more with Steve and Zelda.
{The name Zelda strikes a nerve in Mandi. Her tongue rubs the inside of her cheek as she tries to control her breathing.}
Crystal Zdunich: They are going to get a kick out of this.
MMB: Yeah? Well maybe youâll get a kick out of this!
{MMB nails a kick into Crystalâs midsection and nails a few blows to the back as Rachel Grimes takes off running. Crystal reaches up and rakes Mandiâs eyes and tries to run off but a half blinded Mandi manages to grab Crystal by the hair and swing her back into some shipping crates. Crystal hits hard and slumps to a seated position as bars and smaller lighting equipment fall on and near her. MMB puts a few more stomps into Crystal before letting off.}
MMB: Go back and laugh about that one, sweetheartâŚ..
{MMB gives her a sassy look and walks off as Crystal groans in pain as members of crew check on her.}

SINGLES MATCH
Pax Stormcrow vs Caleb Lockwood
------------------------------------
{A roaring scream pierces the air, and as the crunching guitars of "Rise, Rebel, Resist" play Caleb Lockwood stalks out onto the stage, eyes fixed on the ring as he licks his lips idly.}
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing the Pack, from Oakland, California, weighing in at 168 pounds, Caleb Lockwood!
Terri Morasco: Lockwood issued this challenge, saying he wanted a fight. What do you make of that, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: I think he's felt like he's been stuck in a corner for too long. Caleb Lockwood is like a rabid animal, and he's finally being uncaged tonight on Pax Stormcrow.
{He stalks down to the ring, hands clenching and unclenching as his eyes shift back and forth to scan the crowd. As he approaches the ring, Caleb slides into the ring, rolling to the side and coming up in a crouch. His eyes never stop moving as he backs into the corner of the ring, cracking each of his joints in turn and waiting for the match to start.}
Alison Valance: And his opponent...
{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 walks out onto the stage, looking around as the crowd bursts into cheers. He gives a smirk as the chanting on Suplex by A Tribe Called Red kicks in.}
Alison Valance: From Aitkin, Minnesota, weighing in at 255 pounds, Pax Stormcrow!
Terri Morasco: A great reception here in Adelaide for Pax Stormcrow, and this young man has had a fire lit underneath himself since his return at the end of the year!
Vasco Dias: Stormcrow is possibly the best pure athlete in IWF, and he combines size with scary agility. Lockwood certainly picked himself one hell of a target tonight.
{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: Size versus speed, youth versus experience, this is a battle of opposites tonight, and we're about to get underway!
{The bell rings, and immediately the two men circle each other. Pax feints a takedown attempt, and Caleb doesn't jump at it, instead throwing a quick leg kick at Pax, who dodges. They circle for another moment before shooting for a lock-up. Pax quickly snares a headlock, grinding down on Caleb with his massive size advantage. Caleb squirms against the hold for a second before firing a stomp down into Pax's foot. The blow loosens his grip slightly, and Caleb delivers a kick to Pax's hamstring, still locked in the headlock. Pax staggers slightly, sensing his grip slipping, and switches to a wristlock. Caleb struggles against the hold for a moment before dropping to his back, kipping up, rolling forward, and firing a punch at Pax's wrist to break his arm free before leaping up and connecting with a dropkick to the Olympic hopeful's face!}
Terri Morasco: Lockwood engaged briefly in Pax's wheelhouse, but quickly realized he's going to have to dictate the pace if he wants to win this one.
Vasco Dias: Speed is Lockwood's core strength, whereas Pax's is...his core strength. Huh. That worked out well.
{Pax stumbles back, and Caleb follows up with a sharp leg kick, sending Pax skipping slightly. He delivers a second, then a third, followed by a fourth, finally taking the bigger man down to one leg. Caleb quickly snares a Muay Thai clinch, pinning Pax's head in with his elbows and delivering brutal knee strikes to Pax's face! He hits one, two, but on the third, Pax gets his hands up, deflecting the strike. He shoves Caleb off, shaking the cobwebs out, and the former Extreme Champion charges in, driving into Pax with a leaping forearm strike! The larger man stumbles, but still doesn't go down. Caleb hits the ropes again, charging at Pax, but Pax quickly drops his shoulder and scoops the smaller man into a thunderous powerslam! Cover!
ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: Pax said he was here for a fight this week, and he's showing it with that resourceful counter.
Vasco Dias: When you outweigh your opponent by eighty-five pounds, everything you do has that much more force. Caleb isn't the smallest member of the roster, but he's the lightest man in the company, and against a powerhouse like Pax, we might see some serious hang-time.
{Caleb shakes his head, trying to get to his senses, but he doesn't have enough time before Pax is on him again, clamping him in a front facelock. Caleb struggles, trying to stomp on Pax's foot again, but Pax shifts his base to get his foot out of the way before stomping down and hauling Caleb over with a vertical suplex! Pax hangs on, rolling through the front facelock into a gator roll, and Caleb manages to squirm enough to ensure that his shoulder isn't down. Undeterred, Pax simply shifts his frame, spinning and taking Caleb's back before lifting him up and over with a massive deadlift German suplex! Pax bridges!
ONE! TWO! THRâKICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: That powerslam shifted the tides, and it's all Stormcrow here on Sacrifice!
Vasco Dias: Lockwood's in a lot of trouble. He needs to create separation, and Pax is doing very well at denying him just that.
{Caleb rolls backwards out of the bridge, stumbling into the ropes, and Pax is right on top of him, lighting him up with a big chop before shooting Caleb off the ropes. Caleb manages to loop his arms around the top rope and stop his momentum on the other side, and when Pax charges in Caleb gets his boots up and plants them in Pax's chest, shoving him off. Caleb shifts out to the apron, coughing, and shakes his head, stunned. Pax charges in again, but as he gets close Caleb reaches out and grabs his head, dropping to the floor and snapping Pax throat-first off the top rope! Caleb climbs back onto the apron as the crowd boos, grinning and measuring Pax before flinging himself into the ring with a slingshot somersault senton! Caleb covers!
ONE! TWO! PAX POWERS OUT!}
Terri Morasco: Those veteran instincts of Lockwood taking over again, along with a bit of rule-breaking, and he earns his first cover of the night!
Vasco Dias: He's being clever. He's fighting smart. He's doing exactly what I would be doing! I love it!
{Caleb drops an elbow into Pax's already-worn left knee, leaping up and delivering a second, then a third, mercilessly attacking the bigger man's vertical base. He grabs both of Pax's legs, looking back at the ringpost as if thinking to drag him there, and shakes his head, dropping one leg and going for a figure-four leg lock. Pax gets a foot up and plants it on Caleb's rear end, kicking him off, and Pax pushes himself to his feet as Caleb stumbles. As Lockwood regains his stability, he's immediately rocked by a European uppercut from Pax that rattles his jaw! Caleb stumbles, but fires back with a right hand! The two men exchange shots, Pax's strength beginning to win out, before Caleb blocks an uppercut and surges forward with a superkick to Pax's knee! Pax drops to a kneeling position, and Caleb runs to the adjacent ropes, springboarding off and drilling Pax in the temple with the BEAST OF WAR! Caleb hooks Pax's leg tightly!
ONE! TWO! THRâKICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: That Beast of War springboard kick has felled many a foe, Vasco, and Caleb Lockwood pulled it out of the bag at just the right time.
Vasco Dias: He knew he was making the same mistake of letting Pax's power get back into the game, so he went to the vertical base and it paid off!
{Caleb measures Pax up as the bigger man forces himself to a knee, lighting into him with a knife-edge chop! Pax recoils, shaking his head, and Caleb nails another chop before hitting the ropes. He jumps for a leaping leg lariat, but Pax rushes to his feet, catching Caleb mid-motion and shifting him slightly before bringing him crashing down with a THUNDEROUS sitout powerbomb! Pax isn't done yet, though, snatching Caleb in a rear waistlock and charging him into the turnbuckles before rolling through and hauling Lockwood over with a massive CHAOS THEORY!
ONE! TWO! THREâLOCKWOOD BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!}
Terri Morasco: WHAT A SUPLEX! Caleb looks like he kicked out on instinct!
Vasco Dias: That may be all it is, Terri, instinct! This could be over!
{Pax recovers quickly, moving on Caleb, but Caleb lashes out quickly to the knee one more time, doubling Pax over, and snags his head, looking for the FADING HOPE! NO! Pax grabs Caleb's free arm, bending it behind his back in a hammerlock, and shifts under Caleb, standing up and walking backwards with him for a few steps before bearing down and snapping Caleb over with the PEACE OUT! The referee drops down to count!
ONE! TWO! Caleb manages to get his foot on the bottom rope! THREE! Pax stands, fists raised in triumph, and the bell rings as "Suplex" plays.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Pax Stormcrow!
Terri Morasco: The bell rang, but Caleb Lockwood's foot was on the rope!
Vasco Dias: A win's a win! Just don't tell Stormcrow that, he'll do something stupid liâDeus meu, here we go.
{Indeed, Pax has turned around and noticed Caleb's foot, as Lockwood hasn't moved since the bell rang. He points at it, arguing with the referee, but the official puts their hands up, insisting that the match result is final. Pax shakes his head, looking down at Caleb and declaring that "this isn't over." Caleb, for his part, looks at his foot on the rope groggily before looking back up at Pax and grinning, beckoning him on.}
Terri Morasco: Well, your prediction came true. Pax looked like he was trying to get the match restarted, but the referee is standing by their decision.
Vasco Dias: Good for the referee! Stand by your judgment, damn the world!
Terri Morasco: Even if it's incorrect? Regardless, Pax said this isn't over, and something tells me he's right.
{Pax walks away from the ring, a dissatisfied look on his face strongly contrasting the excited grin on the face of Caleb Lockwood as we go to commercial.}

Rob Diamond: OOOOOOOOH YOU DIDNâT KNOW!!!!!
{ âBad to the Bone hits the PA. }
Rob Diamond: YOUR BUTT BETTER CALL SOMEBODY!!!!!!!
{ Rob Diamond and James Gilmore come marching out through the entranceway both with microphones in hand. }
Rob Diamond: Ladies and gentlemen, dudes and dudettes, children of all ages, BEING INFAMOUS proudly brings to you itâs future TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!!
{ Rob points at James. }
Rob Diamond: THE LITTLE BEAR JAMES GILMORE!
{ Then to himself. }
Rob Diamond: THE INFAMOUS ONE ROB DIAMOND!
Rob And James: We are⌠BE-ING INFAMOUS!!!!!!
{ The two of them start to head toward the ring. }
James Gilmore: And if ainât down with that then weâve only got two words for ya!
{ James holds his mic up for the crowd as the two men climb into the ring. They both stand in the center and take on a more serious look. }
Rob Diamond: It ainât a secret we spent all of last month looking for the supposed man in charge, Roberto Verona. Now sparing you the expense of me throwing to a video package Iâll just say it didnât go the way we planned.
{ The Islander alum, his beard and hair neatly trimmed down by a local Australian barber. }
James Gilmore: Ya know whatâs funny?! We got our start searchinâ for the man who founded and built this joint into the company it is today by combinâ through the Land Down UnderâŚ
{ He paused, grinning as he took in the cheap pop. }
James Gilmore: ...and after weeks and weeks of nearly gettinâ bit by crocodiles and other beasts--even though we know Steve Irwin is smilinâ from Heaven over our travels--where should we find Bertie?! Hidinâ out in a tornado shelter...underground! Iâm pretty darn sure ya wanna know WHY our esteemed Hall of Famer was retreatinâ to a nuclear bomb bunker...oh Papa Bear!?!
{ Rob smirks at his pal James. }
Rob Diamond: Because heâs a god darn COWARD!
{ The crowd pops big. }
Rob Diamond: Yeah, I said it. Heâs a coward. Roberto Verona is a yellow belly coward!
{ âHeâs a cowardâ chants start. }
Rob Diamond: See, while the Pack and Gods were using IWF as their own personal battleground, Roberto Verona was hiding out, far away from the battle. And do you wanna know what he said!? Why should he help??? Why should he help!? WHY SHOULD HE HELP!!!!? Oh I donât know. Because this company was supposed to be everything that cesspool NCW wasnât! Oh I donât know because he, Ace, Spike, Joe, Blake and myself set out to start a company that would treat itâs talents fairly! Oh I donât know because IWF was supposed to be the place where hard word and effort paid off not a damn Halloween shit show with Dawn of Justice levels of action!!!!
{ James nods his head as he gives a warm wink to Terri Irwin, widow of the late, legendary âCrocodile Hunterâ and longtime wrestling fan, who sits at ringside along with former baseball All-Star and Australian native Dave Nilsson. }
James Gilmore: I might not know nothinâ about NCW, but what I DO know...is that in every indy promotion Iâve even been to, thereâs always been a certain level of family, a lovinâ, livinâ, and breathinâ group that sticks together...no matter what the angels or demons tell ya! All I...no, WE...ever wanted in our lives is to be a part of somethinâ special, somethinâ bigger, than that sex cult known as the Pack can ever imagine. See dudes and dudettes...weâre a REAL family, not a conclave built on hatred and oppression, and those who oppose us...the Imperial family?! Tell âem, Rob!
Rob Diamond: We are gonna restore IWF to what it was supposed to be! I donât care if youâre the devil or god or Christian friggin Bale! James and I and anyone who still believes in what IWF was supposed to stand for are going to stand up and take the fight to the villainous freaks who think they run this place!
{ The crowd starts changing âBe-Ing infamousâ *clap-clap-clapclapclap* }
James Gilmore: Otherwise, if ya fight against us...weâll kick your butt to the Great Barrier Reef and back!
Rob Diamond: And if you ainât down with that then weâve only got two words for ya!
{ Rob throws the mic up as the entire arena yells âSUCK IT!â }

SINGLES MATCH
Dawn Halliwell vs Kate Steele
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: Like most matches for OFN this one was started on twitter.
Vasco Dias: I bet itâs more than Terri bargained for.
{ Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she flips off at the booing crowd. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she talks trash to the fans. Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about as the crowd boos her louder.. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans just roar back.. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin.}
Alison Valance: First, from Berkshire, England standing at 5â2âââŚ. KATE STEELE!
Vasco Dias: Kate made the challenge for this fight but Dawn was the one who accepted. The last time Kate made a challenge no one accepted. I hope for a blood bath.
Terri Morasco: You always hope for a blood bath.
{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 the 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: And now, from Salem, Massachusetts standing 5â4ââ⌠DAWN HALLIWELL!
Terri Morasco: She looks pretty relaxed here, doesnât she?
Vasco Dias: Dawn is the daughter of Spike Kane, of course sheâs relaxed. Why should she be worried about someone like Kate Steele?
Terri Morasco: Kate Steele has been a threat before.
Terri Morasco: Regardless both of these women look focused this week. Itâll be interesting to see how this match goes.
Vasco Dias: Again, I want blood. I want violence.
{Kate glares at the other side of the ring. Dawn is stretching. Kate makes a face like sheâs going to storm across the ring but the Ref steps between her and points her into her corner.}
Vasco Dias: I like this already.
Terri Morasco: You just like the idea of this turning bloody.
Vasco Dias: A man can hope.
{The bell rings, Kate bounces off the ropes and tries to pull off a Spinning Heel Kick but Dawn catches the leg and pushes her back. Kate climbs onto the ropes but Dawn grabs her by the leg and tosses the smaller women down hitting the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Kateâs not having much success here.
Vasco Dias: Dawn seems to be playing with her food here. I love it. Bet Spike is smiling down from heaven⌠or smiling up from hell?
{Dawn kicks Kate hard in the ribs while sheâs down. As Kate is getting back up to her feet, Dawn hits her with some muay kai knees and then hits her with a snap suplex.}
Vasco Dias: Look at that effort! Look at that skill!
Terri Morasco:: Dawnâs being a little aggressive here donât you think?
{As Kate checks her face for blood Dawn leans over smirking, the words âNot even breaking a sweatâ.}
Terri Morasco: Dawn is antagonizing Kate here.
Vasco Dias: Itâs petty.
{Kate makes a sound of anger, but Dawn backs up before hitting her with a Renegade. Dawn goes for the pin

2
Dawn lets go of Kate}
Terri Morasco: Little early for thatâŚ
{Dawn grins âGonna tap you outâ.}
Vasco Dias: Sheâs playing with her.
{Kate bounces up, clearly angry over how the match has been going. Kate pulls off a Leg Sweep, knocking Dawn down to the mat. Kate climbs the turnbuckle hits Dawn with a Tornado DDT when she gets close to her. She waits as Dawn to pull herself up by the turnbuckle and does Float Over DDT. Kate goes for the pin.
1
Kick out!}
Terri Morasco: Thatâs surprising.
Vasco Dias: Dawn seems to be able to handle a lot more than Kate expected. More than I expected.
{With a sound of frustration Kate goes for the ropes. Before Kate can get to the top rope, Dawn pops up and kicks Kate in the knee making her lose her grip and fall to the mat. Kate, with a sound of frustration, starts throwing a full-blown tantrum, accidentally hits the ref in her tantrum.}
Terri Morasco: ThatâŚThatâs not good.
Vasco Dias: No, itâs amazing!
{Dawn does to grapple her but Kate slips out of the ring. She grabs a chair and hits Dawn in the ankle with it.}
Terri Morasco: What is Kate doing?
Vasco Dias: Taking advantage of the moment.
{Kate bashes Dawn with the chair in the head. âI AM THE PUNK ROCK PRINCESS!â Hits her with the chair again. âTHIS IS MY TIME!â}
Terri Morasco: Well, Kate seems to have lost her patients.
Vasco Dias: Dawnâs mocking seems to have gotten on her nerves.
{Kate drops the chair down on Dawnâs neck. âDO NOT DISRESPECT ME!â}
Terri Morasco: Things arenât looking good for Dawn here.
Vasco Dias: They really arenât.
{The lights in the Adelaide Entertainment Centre start to flicker.}
Terri Morasco: Of course thatâs what you would focus on.
Vasco Dias: I am a man of simple tastes.
{the lights flicker, on the Tron the message THE PUNK ROCK PRINCESS IS DEAD appears}
Vasco Dias: OhâŚIs this what I think?
Terri Morasco: No, No, no.
{ dawn takes advantage of the distraction by hitting Kate with a THUNDERSTRUCK and thru out the arena you hear
âAll Bloody Hailâ
followed by eternityâs laughter echoing throughout}
Vasco Dias: Ahh⌠That creepy laugh. Sends shivers down my spin.
Terri Morasco: What is her plan here?
Vasco Dias: Who can say, but Iâm excited.
{Dawn drops down locks in LIVING DEAD GIRL on Kate. Kate struggles and struggle but with the ref only slightly stirring Dawn keeps the hold on long and hard.}
Terri Morasco: Kate is not looking so good here.
Vasco Dias: All I can think about is that laugh.
{The lights flicker one more time as the last of Eternityâs laughter dies and Kate taps out and continues to tap out until the ref rolls over to see it and calls for the bell.}
Terri Morasco: That does seem to be the messageâŚ
Alison Valance: And your winner⌠DAWN HALLIWELL!
{ Shoots to thrill hits the speakers, Dawn stands up with a smirk at the camera, raising her arm in the air as Kate lays on the mat.}

SEGMENT
Come and Play
------------------------------------
{We're taken backstage, where Helena Sawyer is staring at a promo graphic for tonight's main event. She reaches out, smiling, and gently strokes the image of Pandora with the back of her hand, then Kimberly. Her voice coos as she stares lovingly at the image of the two women.}
Helena Sawyer: My forget-me-not...and the newest flower to bloom in the garden...fighting over a prize, what once was a shield...ladies, you're fighting for much more than that.
{Her fingers trace down to the Openweight Championship title itself, tracing around it with a grin and a giggle.}
Helena Sawyer: Because at Danger Zone...I want my time. I want my chance. I want to play. And one of you is going to dance with the Daughter of Misery. Good luck to both of you...I can't wait.
{Helena sighs, staring lovingly again at the graphic as we return to ringside.}

SINGLES MATCH
Astrid FHK vs Ciara OâConnor
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: From Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 135 pounds - representing the Best Friends Club: CIARA O'CONNOR!!!!
{As the opening notes of âRun for your Lifeâ by K. Flay begins to play the lights dull around only showing the entrance ramp.}
âDon't count me out
Just 'cause I'm down
Boy, I've been down before
Fate has a way of playing games
And I've been keeping score
They tried to tell me I was lost in the forest
Like a cub with no mother when I actually was where I wanted...â
{Ciara OâConnor steps out onto the ramp with a self-satisfied smirk as she walks down to the ring, spinning once. She climbs onto the apron, sitting sideways with one leg behind her and one in front of her. She smiles at the crowd before leaning forward and grabbing her leg before rolling under the rope into the ring. She rolls to her knees with her arms spread as the lights go up in the arena.}
Terri Morasco: One of the most vicious and underhanded members of the Best Friends club, Ciara O'Connor has proved to be a deeply contentious figure in the IWF lately.
Vasco Dias: She's a superstar, Terri, and she's not afraid to get off a sinking ship to jump onto a rising star. She saw Vivienne Rodgers slipping away, and took her chance to get in with the Best Friends Club before share prices spiked. Look at her now! From ringside manager to the red right hand of the Luchadora Champion! Sometimes you have to stab some backs to make it to the top!
Terri Morasco: But she's made a lot of enemies, Vasco, and tonight she's going against one of the most relentless women I've ever seen.
Alison Valance: And her opponent...
{The lights dim as the arena begins to pulse with a driving drumbeat that the audience quickly joins in with, sending reverberating pulses through the building. After a few moments, the drums are joined by the driving strings line of Fall Out Boy's Phoenix as a spotlight shines down on Astrid Hall, standing amidst the crowd as she looks down at the ring with an eager smile.}
Alison Valance: From Trondheim, Norway, weighing in at 185 pounds... The Valkyrie, ASTRID HALL!!!
"PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT!"
{On cue, she smears the red paint across her face and descends to the ring, bouncing with excitement with every step. She leaps up onto the the apron and climbs the turnbuckle, raising one fist in the air and pumping it along with the beat of the song. After removing her coat and tossing it to ringside, she vaults over the turnbuckle into the ring, where she cracks her knuckles and settles in for the coming match.}
Terri Morasco: The fire in Hall is palpable tonight!
Vasco Dias: We've seen it before, and we've seen Astrid Hall throw away chance after chance. She doesn't have the grit to do what needs to be done - and lets be honest? Since her return, she's won ONE match - a match against the girl who, as Charity said a few weeks ago, 'isn't the best, and isn't a friend, so she's not in the club." Ciara O'Connor is a whole different animal in the ring.
Terri Morasco: We'll see, Vasco.
DING!
{Astrid instantly hits Ciara O'Connor with a Spear that practically knocks the smaller woman out of her shoes!}
Vasco Dias: WOAH!
Terri Morasco: Astrid launching herself across the ring like a missile, right into Ciara O'Connor!
{Astrid rises from the ground, wrenching Ciara from the ground by the neck as she clutched her midsection, the wind having been knocked out of her. For a moment it looks as though Astrid's looking for the Winter's Grip... but instead hauls Ciara all the way up, holding her aloft before driving her to the ground with the MJOLNIR!}
Vasco Dias: Already?!
Terri Morasco: Astrid's not done!
{Astrid smiks as she stands up, not letting go of Ciara but neither going for the pin. Instead she lifts Ciara up again, driving her hard into the mat a second time with yet another MJOLNIR!}
Terri Morasco: Astrid's whipping Ciara around like a rag doll!
{Ciara is insensate, clutching her back in pain as she writhes on the floor. Astrid's eyes narrow as she moves in for the kill, the match not yet having lasted a full minute. For the third time Astrid Hall pulls Ciara off the ground... but this time sets O'Connor up on her shoulders...}
Ciara O'Connor: No way...
{... and drives O'Connor neck-first into the mat with the RAGNAROK! Astrid goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner... ASTRID HAAAAALLL!!!
Terri Morasco: It's all over!
{Phoenix by Fall Out Boy plays as Astrid rises from the mat, glaring down at Ciara as the woman lays motionless. After a few seconds she cracks her neck and turns, making eye contact with the hard camera and raises her hand towards it with two fingers up.}
Terri Morasco: It looks like Astrid's keeping a tally. With her focus in her last match locked on Crystal and now challenging and dominating Ciara, it looks like Astrid's officially putting herself at war with The Best Friends Club.
Vasco Dias: I... I can't believe what I just saw. That was so fast, Ciara barely got to blink! She's... she's not moving in there...
Terri Morasco: The message is clear, Vasco - two down, two to go.
{Medical personnel rush down the ramp towards the motionless Ciara, accompanied by Charity Crowne and Amber Cooke. Astrid is backing away through the crowd, the audience cheering her on as she smirks at the Best Friends Club in the ring, raising a fist in victory before the show cuts to commercial.}

SEGMENT
Devlin Raine isn't finished with Xavier Cross
------------------------------------
{The Arena is bustling between bouts before the Speakers suddenly spring to life with a familiar voice that of Rowan MacDonnaugh the images of just last week Rowan motions for Xavier to stand, as he looks back from her to Dean, as Dean smiles Rowan brings the microphone up to her mask...}
Rowan MacDonnough: âWelcome... to your new family.â
{The lights suddenly cut dead the entire arena left in darkness.}
Terri Morasco: âWhat...what just happened VascoâŚâ
Vasco Dias: âAre we still on the air? Anyone?â
{There is the sound of one man clapping, a singular figure by himself as the lights come to the fore, standing wearing his jacket, boots, and shirt that reads "Mad As Hell" holding a mic in one hand... and the shattered Remnants of a Redcap mask in the other...Is Devlin Raine}
Devlin Raine: "Welcome to a very live, very vocal and very rare edition of D-TV. The silver path edition."
{The IWF Logo in the bottom right suddenly becomes a familiar looking Redcap mask.}
Terri Morasco: âThat's Devlin Raine!â
Vasco Dias: âI'm sure he has a lot to say.â
Devlin Raine: "Why thank you Vasco Dias, Yes I do..no, of course,e I'm here to talk about ...That."
{Devlin points to the Tron, and as the cameras zoom in it comes a little more obvious Devlin is wearing a Production earpeice as he stares into the camera and climbs up the turnbuckle to point some more.}
Devlin Raine: "So, The lusture of the title becomes too much for Xavier Cross, He turns his back on everything... you, me ...The idea of Team Free will everything he fought for just to hold onto that belt a little longer, the dragon retetrats to the hWolf's lair to dwell with demons and I'll tell you what...I'm tired of it. You should be tired of it too.."
{Devlin pauses a moment.}
Devlin Raine: "As I'm speaking to you right now there's a gaggle of guys rushing to come and shut me up...I'm not supposed to be here,m, I'me supposed to be at home but I'm. Not. Finished. This goes out to the guys in the back, to everyone watching at home..I Promise to you, I Vow ...By Whatever i'm able to summon that I will drop Xavier Cross and for one, single glaring moment The IWF will have a champion it can be proud of again..I'm coming for you Xavier...And the Pack...The pack isn't going to stop me."
{Devlin leans forwards and grins into the camera}
Devlin Raine: "My Laws are older, my hands are bound, the Redcap rides..and Red Raine flies..All of you...who stand with me...Look under your seats. That incluses you Morasco and Dias...I've left a suprise..You know what to do...Like Xavier Said...Like Rowan Said..You can't stands alone...So stand with me."
Terri Morasco: âWhat...ok...let me look...â
Vasco Dias: âI Can't beleive you're entiertianing thi...oh my god there is a Box under here..!â
Terri Morasco: âThis is a redcap mask....â
{Indeed Devlin puts on what remains of themask... as interspersed in the crowd more copeis of the mask start to appear even as the entrance way startst o come to life wit hsecuirty and Jess Fwoler, coming on out as Devlin's smile is seen apperaing form under the mask a bit, he rolls out of the ring... Dissappering into a Sea of Redcap Masks before the P.A comes to Life..}
Devlin Raine: "Let the Hunt begin..."
{As the security reach the barrier chaos reigns berifley as they can no longer make head nor tail of where Devlin has gone.}
Jess Fowler: "Cut to commercial!"
{and after a few seconds of utter Chaos...that's what we do.}

{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.}
