SEGMENT
Kimberly Jackson demands a challenger for the Mediocre Canadian Bash
------------------------------------
{ The solemn beginning of "Roots" by In This Moment hits the pa with strobe lighting. Once the song kicks into gear Kimberly Jackson steps out through the curtain, throwing some fists before double pumping to some pyro. She struts down the entrance ramp and rolls in under the bottom rope, jumping to her feet and throw a jab/cross combo at the hard camera. Kimberly turns to ringside and asks for a microphone. }
Vasco Dias: I wonder why Kimberly Jackson is out here?
Terri Morasco: I would imagine it has to do with her recent lack of opponents, Eternity aside.
{ Kimberly glares into the hard camera. }
Kimberly Jackson: I think everyone will understand if I'm still a little fired up after what happened two weeks ago!
Vasco Dias: I think she means when Eternity whipped her like a red headed-
Terri Morasco: That's offensive!
{ Kim cracks her neck before continuing. }
Kimberly Jackson: After what Eternity did, and trust me I'm not going to forget that, I want to FIGHT!
{ There's a pop from the crowd. }
Kimberly Jackson: Not just a match! Not just a title defense! I WANT TO FIGHT! So any woman in the back who wants a shot at the Open Weight Championship! NOW'S THE TIME!
Terri Morasco: Kimberly laying down an open challenge!
Vasco Dias: She may regret that.
Terri Morasco: I don't think she cares.
{ Pump it plays as Mimi comes running down the ramp and into the ring. Mimi walks right up to Kimberly. }
Mimi Simpson: You want a challenge! YOU GOT ONE!
{ Mimi extends her hand and Kimberly forcibly shakes it, pulling Mimi in close and looking her dead in the eyes. }
Kimberly Jackson: Goodnight and Goodluck.
{ Kimberly throws Mimi's hand away and brushes past her exiting the ring. }
Vasco Dias: It's official! We've got an Open Weight Championship match for the Mediocre Canadian Bash!
Terri Morasco: I hope Mimi knows what she's getting herself into.
{ Kimberly storms her way up the ramp as Mimi looks on with a confident grin. }
------------------------------------
Iron Maiden Qualifier
Charity Crowne vs Kate Steele
---------------------------------
{Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Teddy Steele 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.}
Alison Valance: The following contest is an Iron Maiden qualifying match, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Teddy Steele, from Berkshire, England, weighing in at 110 pounds, Kate Steele!
Terri Morasco: Kate Steele has a huge opportunity ahead of her here. Qualifying for the Iron Maiden puts you in line for a World Title opportunity at Night of the Immortals, and we all know that the Siren would love to sing a victory song on that bright stage.
Vasco Dias: Unfortunately for her, she doesnât have an easy path to victory. Thereâs always next year.
Terri Morasco: Letâs not count her out before the match even happens, Vasco.
{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: And her opponentâŚ
{"Pop pop!"
The clapping synth intro of "Popular" by The Veronicas plays over the PA, and Charity Crowne walks out onto the stage, rolling her eyes and striking a brief pose at the top of the ramp. She smirks, rolling her wrist, and struts down the ramp, dismissing fans if they reach over the barricade.}
Alison Valance: Representing the Best Friends Club and the House of Howlett, from Kensington, London, England, weighing in at 130 pounds, she is the Crowne Jewel, Charity Crowne!
Terri Morasco: Her introduction got longer after LOSING the Luchadora Championship. HowâŚHOW did it get LONGER AFTER LOSING A TITLE?!
Vasco Dias: Because true value only increases with time, Terri. The House of Howlett earned a one-two punch of recruitment with Ethan King and Charity Crowne, and that investment might pay off with a clean sweep of the World Titles if the cards fall right.
{Charity hooks the ring post with a hand, walking around to the side of the ring, and plants a hand on the ring apron, jumping and swinging herself under the bottom rope. She back-rolls to her feet in the middle of the ring, posing again, and casually walks to a corner. She wraps her hand around the top rope, casually yanking on it a few times as she waits and the music fades.}
Terri Morasco: A coveted spot in the Iron Maiden, a chance to make history, everything is on the line here! Letâs go!
{The bell rings, and the two women move to lock up. Charity feints through the lock-up instead, ramming a knee into the smaller Steeleâs gut. She grabs two handfuls of the doubled-over Kateâs hair, dropping to a knee and slamming her across with a hair-pull backbreaker! The referee admonishes Charity for holding her hair, and Charity lets go, straightening up and letting Kate fall to the mat. She steps forward to plead her caseâŚher trailing boot conveniently landing on Kateâs throat! Charity chokes Kate with her foot, positioning her body to shield herself from discovery, and steps forward again, taking her foot off as the crowd boos.}
Terri Morasco: And Charityâs in rare form tonight, never met a shortcut she wouldnât takeâŚ
Vasco Dias: The shorter path you take to the top, the more time you have to enjoy the view. Not that you know anything about the view up top, Morasco.
{Charity hauls Kate up, making sure to show the referee sheâs using a handful of the sports bra that makes up Kateâs top to do so. As soon as sheâs to a standing base, Charity lights her up with a knife-edge chop that echoes through the arena! She delivers a second, a third, a fourth, driving Kate back into the corner mercilessly, before shouldering up into her midsection! Charity drives her shoulder into Kate once, twice before back-rolling away to build distance. Charity takes a few more steps back, getting a gymnastics-like run-up at Kate before handspringing into a back elbowâŚthat Kate ducks out of the way of!}
Terri Morasco: Kate Steele with signs of life, and now itâs Charity on the back foot!
Vasco Dias: Charity went for a high-risk move, and it backfired on her! Kateâs got one chance to make this work!
Terri Morasco: You call that high-risk?
Vasco Dias: Gymnastics is a brutal sport, Terri!
{Kate holds her midsection, wincing, and delivers a brutal leg kick to Charity as she recovers! Kate hammers her with a second, a third, before ducking a wild chop and responding with a heel kick to the gut! Charity doubles over, and Kate delivers a leg sweep that plants her on her backside. Kate measures Charity, a glint in her eyes, and hits the ropes, springboarding off with a low crossbody that bowls Charity over! Kate covers!
ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: I donât think Iâve ever seen a move like that before, and innovation almost paid off in a big way!
Vasco Dias: I think Kate heard Charityâs comments about her commitment and decided to do something about it, Terri. This isâŚconcerning.
{Kate pulls Charity up off the mat, hammering her with a forearm shot, and wrenches her arm, hammering an elbow down into the already-hurt elbow of Crowne. Charity yelps, clutching her arm, and Kate grabs the arm again, twisting it around and delivering an armbreaker across her shoulder! Charity clutches on tight, wincing, and Kate hits the ropes, baiting Charity into a wild swing. Charity obliges, and Kate floats over, looking for a neckbreakerâŚTHAT CHARITY SPINS THROUGH INTO THE DIAMOND CUTTER!}
Terri Morasco: DIAMOND CUTTER! DIAMOND CUTTER!
Vasco Dias: All it takes is a single second, Morasco! Cover her!
{Charity obliges, hooking the leg with her good arm!
ONE! TWO! THREE! âPopularâ plays over the PA as Charity climbs to her feet, sneering down angrily at Kate as she holds her arm.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Charity Crowne!
Terri Morasco: The Diamond Cutter spares no enemies and takes no prisoners! Charity Crowne, for the second time in her career, is stepping into the Iron Maiden!
Vasco Dias: The House of Howlett rolls on, Terri. Who else is surprised?
{The referee raises Charityâs handâŚon her injured arm, which Charity quickly yanks down, clutching it and whining at the referee. She haughtily stomps away and up the ramp, pausing to flash a smirk and wave at the crowd, as Kate looks forlornly up the ramp, clearly frustrated.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT
The StrongStyle gauntlet competitors sign for their match at Mediocre Canadian Bash
------------------------------------
{ 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. James Gilmore comes jogging out behind him with his hands up and stands besides Rob, as Steve Awesome kind of sulks his way out to join them. }
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!!!! And his tag team partners...THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE, STEVE AWESOME aaaaaaaaaaand⌠JAMES GILMORE!!!! THEY ARE BEING INFAMOUS!!!!
{ Rob looks out into the crowd with a shit eating grin on his face before marching down toward the ring with Gilmore besides him, Steve taking up the rear, giving the female fans extra attention. 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 as James runs into the ring and hops up next to Rob. Rob 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 as James bobs from side to side loosening up. Steve simply heads to his corner, and smirks that shit eating smirk he has.}
Vasco Dias: Looks like itâs time for the StrongStyle Gauntlet Match contract signing!
Terri Morasco: And Being InFamous is here and excited!
Vasco Dias: They are now but what happens when two of them are in the ring together during the Gauntlet?
Terri Morasco: I guess we will find out.
{ Being Infamous wait on one side of the table as the lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}
"UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up in front of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: This is the man Iâm most excited to see in the Gauntlet! Warren has been ripping through the roster since his return!
Terri Morasco: Warren clearly has gold on his mind, he very nearly won the Roulette and now he has a chance to hold one of the most prestigious belts in our industry.
{ Warren stands on the opposite side of the table as Being InFamous. Rob cautiously waves and Warren just smirks at him. The opening riff of "Unbreakable" plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and as the drums kick in Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp, Danielle Chase a step behind him. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side with a wide grin on his face. Andrew looks dead ahead at the ring, cracking his neck, and throws his arms out and head back as a burst of red and green pyro goes off to either side of him. Andrew and Danielle walk down the ramp, Andrew high-fiving fans as he goes, and he pulls himself up onto the apron, looking around at the fans with an infectious grin on his face. He climbs through the second rope and walks to a corner, checking his gloves and talking with Danielle as he circles away from both Warren and the Being InFamous crew. }
Terri Morasco: Jacobsen has been having a hard time finding his footing recently but the StrongStyle Gauntlet is his chance to show the world just how damn good he is.
Vasco Dias: Andrew is a premiere athlete, a hall of fame wrestler, a former world champion. His skill and abilities cannot be questioned. But youâre right, heâs been on a down turn and this may be his chance to turn it all around.
Terri Morasco: Perhaps his last chance for a while too.
{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. }
Terri Morasco: The real wild card here is Uriel.
Vasco Dias: Weâve seen glimmers of both brilliance and horror. Uriel could easily be the one to walk out of the Gauntlet with the StrongStyle Championship.
Terri Morasco: Assuming Warren doesnât kill him before the match.
{ Warren stands at the table, his eyes locked on Uriel. Uriel stands apart in a corner while Jacobsen does the same on the opposite side. Being InFamous are on the other side of the table ready for another explosion. }
Vasco Dias: You can feel the tensions rising.
Terri Morasco: I canât imagine this going any better than the six man tag did.
Vasco Dias: I mean, we all know how contract signings end.
{ Warren is the first to grab the pen and put ink to paper before tossing it to Rob Diamond. }
Vasco Dias: Warren means business.
Terri Morasco: Isnât that Toddâs catchphrase?
Vasco Dias: Who?
Terri Morasco: Fair.
{ Rob follows suit and hands the pen off to James who quickly signs and then gives the pen to Steve. Steve shoots a cocky grin toward Warren then Andrew and Uriel before grabbing the mic on the table. }
Steve Awesome: Man itâs gonna be fun shutting all you little MâFers up.
{ Steve signs and throws the pen to Andrew. }
Steve Awesome: Your turn, son. Bee-Tee-Dub how is your mother?
{ Andrew looks pissed as he storms over to the table and jots his name down before looking Steve directly in the eyes. }
Andrew Jacobsen: Shut your damn mouth!
{ Andrew doesnât budge as Steve continues to grin. Uriel makes his way over making sure to lightly brush against Warren before taking the pen and signing his name as well. }
Vasco Dias: Itâs official! The Gauntlet is happening!
Terri Morasco: Maybe sooner rather than later!
{ Rob steps up to the table and takes the mic. }
Rob Diamond: Awesome! Now that the boring part is done I think we all know what happens next!!!
{ James and Steve flip the table into Andrewâs face! Warren immediately tackles Uriel Black! Steve superkicks Andrew Jacobsen! }
Vasco Dias: All hell is breaking loose!
Terri Morasco: I mean, this was always going to happen!
{ Rob, Steve and James throw Andrew over the top rope and out of the ring. Warren and Uriel spill to the outside still fighting it out as security begins to run down. }
Vasco Dias: Let them fight!
Terri Morasco: You always say that!
Vasco Dias: Because I want to see them fight!
{ Security starts to pull Warren off Uriel. Inside the ring Steve scoops up the StrongStyle Championship that was seated on the table and starts to pose with it. Rob then grabs it from Steve and does a little pose but then James pulls it out of Robâs hands to admire it. }
Vasco Dias: Uh-oh.
{ Steve walks over and tells James to give it back. Rob gets in between them and tries to take it and now the three men all have a firm grip on the belt. }
Terri Morasco: This is exactly what I was talking about! Sure, theyâre friends but there is a belt on the line in one week!
Vasco Dias: Friendship and wrestling donât always go hand in hand.
Terri Morasco: Generally the opposite.
{ The three men of Being InFamous start to have a little tug of war with each other before James finally letâs go. }
James Gilmore: Dudes. Letâs just all agree to a fair fight?
{ Rob and Steve nod and the two carefully put the belt down still keeping their eyes locked on each other. The three members of Being InFamous then fist bump in the ring but there is some lingering doubt as all three keep their eyes on the prize. }

Iron Maiden Qualifier
Dawn Halliwell vs Mimi Simpson
---------------------------------
Alison Valance: the following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: We have another qualifier for Iron maiden here. Iâm excited.
Vasco Dias: Youâre always excited.
Terri Morasco: Let me live my life Vasco.
{Pump it plays as Mimi comes running down the ramp and into the ring.}
Alison Valance: First down to the ring, from Sandford Florida standing at 5â5ââ and 120 pounds⌠MIMI SIMPSON!
Terri Morasco: Mimi is one of the newest call ups to the main rooster.
Vasco Dias: Sheâs wasted no time making an impression.
{ 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: From Salem Massachusetts, standing at 5â4ââ and weighing in at 125 pounds⌠DAWN HALLIWELL!
Terri Morasco: Dawn has been quiet since the conversation with Eternity.
Vasco Dias: Ifyou have a conversation with someone like Eternity you keep it to yourself.
{As soon as the bell rings Dawn crosses the ring and hits mimi with Muay Thai Knees.}
Terri Morasco: Dawn wasting no time here.
Vasco Dias: She said she was getting the Kane family shovel out just for mimi after all.
{ Mimi hits Dawn with a headbutt and then follows up with a snap suplex.}
Terri Morasco: Mimi with some good defense here.
Vasco Dias: Sheâll need more then that to survive Dawn.
{ Dawn hits Mimi with a German Suplex and goes for the pin
1
2
Kick out!}
Vasco Dias: That was close for Mimi.
Terri Morasco: It was but Mimi is still fighting this out.
{Dawn hits mimi with a snap suplex and takes her down with an armbar.}
Vasco Dias: Dawn does love tapping out people in the ring.
{Mimi manages to get a leg on the rope and gets out of the hold.}
Vasco Dias: Rope break!
Terri Morasco: Mimi is using the ring awareness to its full effect here.
{Mimi hits Dawn with a back elbow and moves to the ropes.}
Vasco Dias: A good hit from mimi but wasting time by not finishing the job.
Terri Morasco: Iâm sure she has a plan.
{ Mimi waits a moment for Dawn to get up before launching herself.}
Terri Morasco: Why is she wasting time?
Vasco Dias: She wants to prove something I assume?
{ Mimi hits Dawn with a spring board hurricanrana and tries to go for the pin
1
Kick out!}
Vasco Dias: That was closer then I think anyone was expecting!
Terri Morasco: Mimi has a passion to her.
{ Dawn hits Mimi with a Renegade. Mim struggles back.}
Terri Morasco: things are not looking good for Mimi here
{ Dawn hits Mimi with a THUNDERSTRUCK and then goes for the pin

3!!!}
Alison Valance: Winner by pin fall Dawn Halliwell!
Vasco Dias: So we have Dawn in the Iron Maiden for the second year in a row. What are the chances of her winning twice?
Terri Morasco: Anything could happen.
Vasco Dias: Things are looking to be amazing next week at the pay per view.
{Dawn stands in the ring, hand raised in the air as her song blares through the stadium.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Ethan King makes a statement
------------------------------------
{Hail to the King hits the speakers, as the crowd begins to rumble as Ethan King struts down to the ring by himself, clutching a briefcase in his hand.}
Vasco Dias: âAnd what honor do we have seeing the roulette winner, Ethan King here tonight?â
Terri Morasco: âIâm curious of what is in that briefcase, Iâm sure heâll make a claim to his rightful shot at the title, maybe criticize -redacted-...â
Vasco Dias: âWait, we canât say his name? Is this some Trent Helms like bullshit?â
{Wiping his feet on the apron, Ethan King enters the ring, motioning for a microphone as his music fades.}
Ethan King: âOh joy...Montana, I sometimes wonder why we come to places like this. Iâm sure you backwater hicks came from your mountain homes, and your shit ranches to come see Ethan King. However, I am here for one thing, and one thing alone. Iâm tired of these little advertisments, these little spots Xavier Cross has produced. Our esteeemed owner, Roberto Verona has offered our pissant of a world champion a large contract, itâs just waiting for him. But the simple fact is, Xavier doesnât just want money...HE WANTS TO AVOID ME!â
Vasco Dias: âOh so Ethan can say his name.â
Terri Morasco: âBut...Ethan has a point, Night of the Immortals is the biggest stage Xavier has ever been on, in the main event no less...against Ethan King, a force heâs not used toâŚâ
Ethan King: âNow, Iâve said before, Iâd be happy to pull up a folding chair, sit in the center of this ring, and be rewarded for my hard work. But that just wonât do Xavier, so tonight, as a show of force. I will put MY title shot on the line! Maybe that will encourage you to sign that contract a little fasterâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âWait..what?! Ethan is going to risk it all?!â
Vasco Dias: âThis is simply stupid, why would you even risk that?!â
Ethan King: âNow bring my opponent out!â
{Ethan motions at the entrance ramp, as a generic patriotic theme plays, as a scrawny young man with an obvious prosthetic leg jaunter down to the ring. The fans recognize this as Horrace Grand, a local indy star in Montana.}
Vasco Dias: â...Oh my god, Ethan King is brilliant!â
Terri Morasco: âThis is a kidâs dream right here, Horrace Grand is a Montana wrestling legend!â
Vasco Dias: âHeâs about to get the tar beat out of him by Ethan KingâŚâ
{Ethan sets the briefcase down, clapping a bit.}
Ethan King: âThank you for coming Horrace, I look forward to our match. However, let me make a counterproposalâŚYou will get your match, however...I think I can sweeten the deal for you.â
{Ethan slides the briefcase over to Horrace with a kick, watching the Indy darling lean over lifting it up. Horrace opens the briefcase, as his eyes grow huge. A golden light shines across his face lighting up his exhausted features and battle scars.}
Ethan King: âForfeit. Bend the Knee to me. BEND THE KNEE TO ETHAN KING!â
{Horrace looks taken aback for a moment, before nodding as he leans over getting ready to kneel for Ethan, as the crowd begins to shower down jeers. Ethan kicks Horrace in the stomach before planting him with the BEND THE KNEE! Ethan leaps to his feet, loosening his tie, he looks around the arena.}
Ethan King: âCâmon Cross. You know you want to fight, and I want to beat you, annihilate you. You are an insect that rose too high on this food chain. The rightful champion is here to take what I deserve!â
{Ethan makes his way back over to Horrace, grabbing the prosthetic leg, and ripping it clean off!}
Vasco Dias: âOh god, Ethan King is about to win the first ever Imperial three-legged race.â
Terri Morasco: âVasco that is terrible, and this...this isnât right!â
{Ethan proceeds to beat Horrace with his own leg, over and over, until the fake leg snaps in half. Ethan looks wild, as he begins to walk around the ring. Horrace is rolling back and forth in pain. Ethan pauses for a moment reaching into his pocket, pulling out his brass knuckles.}
IWF Galaxy: âETHAN SUCKS! ETHAN SUCKS! ETHAN SUCKS!â
Vasco Dias: âThese fans donât know greatnessâŚâ
Ethan King: âShut up, all of you shut up. Xavier, pay close attention. Whether you sign this contract or not, I will find you, and I will give you the beating you deserve...whatâs a dragon to a King?!â
{Ethan straddles Horrace, before raining down straight right fists, wrapped with brass knuckles until Horrace is busted wide open. Ethan hops off him, throwing the knuckles down, before grabbing the briefcase he pauses for a moment, before tossing it at Horrace.â
Ethan King: âAs you can see, I am a man of my word. This man earned his reward tonight like Xavier Cross will earn the defeat of a lifetime. If you people thought what Dean Harper did to Spike Kane was vicious and ruined the business...Iâd suggest going to church before I get my hands on Xavier Cross.â
{Ethan hops out of the ring, walking over to the security barricade.}
Ethan King: âYou know, I was warned not to approach this...since youâve been sitting here all night, I was warned that I could get fined...but fuck itâŚâ
{Ethan grabs the cameraman, pointing it at the crowd, as we see Xavier Cross, starring down Ethan King.}
Ethan King: âYouâve been sitting here all night, the guys in the truck are avoiding camera shots over here as best as possible. But you know me, Xavier, I donât give a damn... So why do you do the world a favor, come with me backstage, and sign that contract so I can beat your ass for the whole galaxy to see.â
{Xavier just stares down Ethan, a slight smirk playing on his lips, as he slowly rises from his seat, holding the Imperial World Title in the air.}
Ethan King: âDo me a favor, clean that blood off the belt. When I take it from your cold dead hands, Iâd rather see my reflection in it.â
Xavier Cross: âYou want a closer look, come over this barricade. Better yet, meet me in the parking lotâŚâ
{Ethan adjusts his tie.}
Ethan King: âSign the contract Cross.â
{Security begins to file out, getting between Ethan and Xavier, as Xavier is being escorted out of the building now. Suddenly Xavier chucks his six dollars commemorative Sacrifice plastic cup over the security hitting Ethan in the face, who goes nuts, ripping past security trying to get to Xavier who is now booking it out of the arena like a child.}
Vasco Dias: âThat son of a bitch! How dare he hit Ethan King!â
Terri Morasco: âEthan King is going nuts look!â
{Ethan King is turning on the security catching one with a âBare Your Throatâ, and another âBare Your Throat.â until heâs delivered enough to flatten out the imperial security team sent to detain him as he climbs up on the barricade looking for Cross, who is long gone.}
Ethan King: âXavier Cross, YOU ARE A COWARD AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DESTROYING YOU!â
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Spencer Vain vs Ducky Tomlinson
---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL. Introducing first already in the ring, Ducky Tomlinson!
{The camera focuses on Ducky who receives a huge ovation from the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: The fans are certainly on the side of Ducky but he had a huge task ahead of him here tonight Vasco.
Vasco Dias: We should all be worshiping the ground his opponent walks on for riding us of all things Keeton.
{"Dangerous" by Shaman's Harvest plays and Spencer Vain emerges through the curtain and makes his way to the ring giving the crowd no acknowledgment as they shower him with boos with a scattering of cheers here and there. Vain tosses his vest off halfway up the ramp and bolts to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope.}
Spencer Vain: RING IT!
Terri Morasco: Looks like Vain didn't want to wait for Alison to introduce him.
Vasco Dias: This man doesn't get paid by the hour Terri.
{The bell rings and Vain leaps into the air catching an unsuspecting Tomlinson with a flying knee that sends him into the corner. He follows up with a few rapid fire punches, kicks, and knees. The referee forces Spencer off his overwhelmed opponent.}
Terri Morasco: Unrelenting strike heavy assault from Spencer Vain to kick this one offâŚ
Vasco Dias: What!?!
{Before the announcers can even react Ducky slips out of the corner scamper between the legs of the 6'7â Vain and rolls him up. The referee counts⌠1...2...3!}
Terri Morasco: What an upset!
Vasco Dias: He wasn't ready.
Terri Morasco: Get out of there Ducky!
{Vain breaks the pin just a bit too late as the bell sounds giving the win to Ducky Tomlinson. Tomlinson tries to escape the ring but Vain snatches him by the throat and hits a sit out Chokebomb. An irate Vain pulls Ducky back to his feet and places him in position as the fans boo loudly before crushing him with the Vainquisher.}
Terri Morasco: The match is over, what a sore loser.
{Vain stands over Ducky and flexes before screaming âAGAINâ he reaches down and pulls Ducky to his feet when the crowd explodes as Elijah Lassiter runs from the back. He hops up on the apron and hits a Springboard Drop Kick on Vain causing him to drop Ducky.}
Terri Morasco: Elijah Lassiter is here! He and Ducky are good friends who trained together at the IWF Performance Center.
Vasco Dias: He should mind his own business.
{Lassiter waits for Spencer to gets to his feet and cracks him with a Super Kick sending him over the top rope to the floor. Vain pounds the ring apron in frustration before retreating up the ramp as Elijah checks on Ducky.}
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Lord Dominicus vs Mr. Happy
---------------------------------
Vasco Dias: âYou can feel it canât you Terri? Itâs like the air got really thin, itâs almost hard to breatheâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âI think thatâs fear Vasco, and Lord Dominicus brings that kind of fear to Imperial nowâŚâ
Vasco Dias: âPoor Happy, this is just going to be the most violent funeralâŚâ
{Mr. Happy hits the PA as Mr. Happy steps out onto the stage holding two bottles of Root Beer Faygo. He shakes them up and then sprays the crowd with them before running down to the ring and rolling in under the bottom rope.}
Vasco Dias: â...I guess Happy isnât as afraid as I thought he would beâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âIf anyone can take a beating in this business, itâs that man right there.â
{A red glow overtakes the arena as "The American Nightmare" by Ice Nine Kills bombards the crowd with it's brutal guitars. Lord Dominicus steps out onto the stage and looks on in utter disgust before marching his way to the ring. He walks up the steps and climbs in posing in the center of the ring with his hands on his hips.}
Vasco Dias: âThis entire arena just grew silentâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âYou can see the fans want to boo, but when Lord Dominicus stepped out onto the stage...it felt likeâŚâ
Vasco Dias: âLike an invisible hand was wrapped around your throat?â
{Lord Dominicus stands in the center of the ring still posing, as Mr. Happy despite being terrified of the overall presence of the monster, tries to pluck of the courage to confront Dominicus. The referee looks a bit confused himself but calls for the bell to begin to match. Happy, with his entire body shaking walks up to Dominicus, who slightly tilts his head eyeing Happy, who falls over. Happyâs eyes get huge, as Dominicus leans down grabbing Happy by his greasy little head, lifting the man back to his feet with minimal effort. Happy throws a right arm hitting Dominicus in the chest, but the Dominicus doesnât flinch, in fact, Happy clutches his hand in agony as Dominicus lets out a yawn letting go of Happy.}
Vasco Dias: âHappy taking the fight to Lord Dominicus, but...itâs like fighting a wall.â
Terri Morasco: â...Oh Happy, just run...get out of the ring!â
Vasco Dias: âIâll give him credit for fighting a losing effortâŚâ
{Happy stumbles back slightly, before charging forward looking to clothesline Dominicus who doesn't budge, nor flinch. Happyâs arm doesnât connect, however, as Dominicus grabs Happy by the forearm holding him in place, stopping his entire momentum. Pulling Happy into his chest, Dominicus wraps his arms around the Clown, before squeezing him viciously. Right as it looks like Happy is about to pop, Dominicus shows a ridiculous amount of stretch tossing Happy with a belly to belly overhead suplex. The Dark Lord picks himself up, dusting his hands off looking annoyed he actually had to touch Mr. Happy.}
Vasco Dias: âJesus christ! Did you see that power put on display!â
Terri Morasco: âHappy weighs two hundred and sixty pounds on a good day, and Lord Dominicus just tossed him over his head like a sack of potatoes!â
Vasco Dias: âSomeone needs to throw the towel inâŚâ
{Rolling over to his stomach, Happy clutches his lower back, not only from the bear hug but the strength of the throw Dominicus just used, Happyâs impact was wicked. Dominicus towers over Happy, as he marches over to the fallen clown. Lifting up Happyâs head with his foot, Happy pleads for mercy, but before Happy can submit, Dominicus brings his foot back, punting Happy right in the skull! The light fades from Happyâs eyes, as Dominicus looks disgusted down at the now unconscious clown, before kicking the limp body in the ribs, flipping it over. Dominicus puts one triumphant boot on Happyâs chest, as the referee, terrified as he may be counts the pinfall.}
Vasco Dias: âWe need medics down here now!â
Terri Morasco: âHappy...oh no poor Mister HappyâŚâ
Referee: âOne...twoâŚ.threeâŚâ
{Quickly calling for the bell, the referee quickly rolls out of the ring getting as far away from Lord Dominicus as possible. EMTâs rush to ringside, but quickly stands there shaking as Lord Dominicus stands in the center of the ring as he did when he made his entrance. Glancing over, he walks over to Mister Happy, before rolling him out of the ring with his foot, as the EMTâs quickly surround Happy, helping him onto a stretcher and wheeling him out of the arena.}
Vasco Dias: âA statement is made. Lord Dominicus is here, and the world has been put on notice.â
Terri Morasco: â...I just...this man is a monster incarnate.â
Vasco Dias: âHeâs just a ConquerorâŚâ

SEGMENT
A Fitting Warmup
------------------------------------
{"Pop pop!"
The clapping synth intro of "Popular" by The Veronicas plays over the PA, and Charity Crowne walks out onto the stage, rolling her eyes and striking a brief pose at the top of the ramp. She is not alone, however, entering flanked by half a dozen suited goons serving as a personal security detail. She smirks, rolling her wrist, and struts down the ramp, dismissing fans if they reach over the barricade. Charity hooks the ring post with a hand, walking around to the side of the ring, and plants a hand on the ring apron, jumping and swinging herself under the bottom rope. She back-rolls to her feet in the middle of the ring, posing again, and casually walks to the center of the ring. The goons surround the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Here she is! The Crowne Jewel!
Terri Morasco: Last week we saw Astrid Hall demanding that her feud with the Best Friends Club ends at Night of the Immortals. We've yet to hear Charity respond, though...
{Charity raises the mix and clears her throat.}
Charity Crowne: Last week... I was challenged by a coward.
{The crowd explodes into boos, but Charity ignores them.}
Charity Crowne: Last week I was challenged by a woman who has made a habit of attacking my friends. Beating them with a cruel and barbaric savagery that makes my poor heart ache. Backstage fights? Deliberate, cold-hearted injuries? And then... and then she didn't even have the courage to challenge me to my face!
Vasco Dias: Charity finally talking true about Astrid Hall.
Terri Morasco: I'm sure she'd say whatever she wants with that security team surrounding her...
{Charity gives an exaggerated sigh.}
Charity Crowne: Honestly... I considered not lowering myself to accepting such a poor-faith challenge. I mean, what has she done to earn the right to step into the ring with the Crowne Jewel? Exploited an opponents' prior injury? Failed to ever even appear at Night of the Immortals? Lost her first - and only - title reign after two weeks to the same woman she won it from?
{Charity laughs.}
Charity Crowne: Let's be honest... Astrid Hall doesn't deserve to be on the same card as me, much less the same match at Night of the Immortals! Besides... after my simply flawless victory earlier tonight, I have every intention of going to Night of the Immortals as the new - and much more refined, might I add - Iron Maiden, where I'll be challenging Vivienne Rodgers for the IWF Women's Championship... with that schedule, it's hard to find the time to satisfy someone else's little grudge...
{The crowd boos Charity's apparent refusal as the Crowne Jewel idly examines her fingernails.}
Charity Crowne: But... it's not... just Astrid's grudge... is it?
{The booing starts turning to cheers.}
Charity Crowne: In fact... if anyone has more a right to be angry, I'd say it's the woman whose fiancee's in-ring career was ended at the others' hand, wouldn't you? I'd say I have more right to be angry at Astrid than she has any right to be mad at me, wouldn't you? I'd say that I DESERVE to beat Astrid Hall in front of Tens of Thousands of people in her first ever Night of the Immortals appearance, HUMILIATING HER to make her pay for what she did to ME and the Best Friends Club... WOULDN'T. YOU?!
{Her usual perfectly manicured demeanor falls away in a fit of rage, and the crowd roars with approval at the outburst. Charity forces herself to calm down before she continues speaking.}
Charity Crowne: And so... upon reflection... I think I'm going to use Astrid Hall as a warmup match before the Crowne Jewel goes to win the IWF Women's Championship. Because that's what you can do when you're simply... flawless.

SINGLES MATCH
Warren Kane vs Phillip Deforrest
---------------------------------
{As âfinal countdown startsâ Phillip walks heroricly from the back, strikes a pose, then runs into the ring to take his place in the ring}
Vasco Dias: Well Terri, young Phillip had a few choice words for the world about his match with Warren this week, most of those were along the lines of âdear god why?â
Terri Morasco: Thatâs quite true Vasco. Phillip seems to see this match up as some kind of punishment, but Warren himself said perhaps it should be looked at as more of an opportunity.
Vasco Dias: Yeah an opportunity for an asskicking.
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}
"UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!"
{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Now this man is very troubled, clearly still going through the stages of grief. In just two short years heâs lost his brother, his uncle, and both his mother and father.
Terri Morasco: But that doesnât seem to be the focus of Warrenâs anger.
Vasco Dias: Oh no, that seems to be directed at anyone who even glances at Dean Harper, but grief manifests in different ways Terri.
Terri Morasco: Correct, and if memory serves, Warren did allow Pax Stormcrow the respect he felt due to someone in a similar situation.
{Warren leans out of the corner, his arms outstretched behind him grabbing the top turnbuckles as the referee calls for the bell. Phillip begins to step out of the corner, and Warren straight up launches himself across the ring with a huge slingblade. He follows it up with a big senton, that drives the wind right out of De Forrest.}
Terri Morasco: Oof, not respite there for De Forrest.
Vasco Dias: Warren said he was going to teach him a valuable lesson, much like Dawn said this week too.
Terri Morasco: Maybe the Kane children have more in common than we realised.
Vasco Dias: What, that theyâre single handedly guiding the future of wrestling?
Terri Morasco: Thatâs a bitâŚ.out there.
{Inside the ring, Warren is crouched down in the corner, waiting for Phillip to get to his feet. De Forrest slowly makes his way to his feet and Warren launches out of the corner looking for the Chrysoar cyclone kicks, but De Forrest ducks backwards out of the way and as Warren lands in a superhero landing style, Phillip quickly nails Warren with a brutal looking impact DDT. He quickly scrambles for the cover, and the ref jumps over for the countâŚ..ONE! -KICK OUT!}
Terri Morasco: Oh, Phillip De Forrest thought he had it won there.
Vasco Dias: Really!? Come on, this is a Kane!
{Phillip rolls to his knees, desperate for the referee to count faster. Meanwhile, Warren snaps upright, and just grins at De Forrest, who immediately scrambles away towards the ropes. Warren hops to his feet, and cocks his head, as if evaluating Phillip for the first time. Phillip De Forrest, is clearly freaked out.}
Vasco Dias: What is going on?
Terri Morasco: Itâs almost like Warrenâs entire personality just changed on the drop of a dime.
{Warren suddenly begins to shake his head, pressing into his temples with both hands, almost as if he was fighting for himself. Phillip quickly tries to take advantage of this and rushes Warren going for the he launches himself for a double knee facebreaker, but Warren catches him mid-air! He storms across the ring and launches De Forrest into the turnbuckle with the BAAL BOMB! The crowd explode as Phillips eyes roll into the back of his head and he stumbles forwards before dropping to the mat.}
Vasco Dias: My god, did you see that!?
Terri Morasco: That could put an end to the career of Phillip De Forrest right there.
{Warren raises his eyes and looks to the crowd, as the camera pans back to show him standing tall, with Phillip laying in the perfect spot in the ring. The crowd jump to their feet, sensing what is coming. In one fluid motion, Warren slips through the ropes and around onto the turnbuckle, climbing tall. Flashlights from cameras and camera phones flash wildly as he rises up and launches through the air, coming crashing down on Phillip with the Fall From Grace! Warren rolls through to a knee, and instantly changes his direction, diving onto De Forrest for the cover. The ref drops down for the countâŚ..ONE! âŚ...TWO! âŚ..THREE!!! The bell rings as âUndeadâ by Hollywood Undead roars through the arena. Warren rises to his feet, almost as if he was ready for the next fight, breathing deeply. He takes a moment to realise that there are certain sections of the crowd cheering for him. He slowly raises his arm, before dropping to his back, rolling out of the ring, and heading up the ramp while the referee checks on Phillip De Forrest.}

SEGMENT
Signed in Blood
------------------------------------
{ We come back from commercial break as Nighthawk and Angel stand on opposite sides of a table in Roberto Verona's office, each man blocked by a force of security guards, Roberto Verona sighs as if knowing a deep and painful secret. }
Roberto Verona: Since the events of the IWF Roulette, it has become clear that the issues between Nighthawk and Angel Blake require settling in a 1-on-1 contest. However, the IWF Competition Committee has been unable to find a match stipulation suitable enough to ensure the ending of these issues. Therefore, we are leaving it up to the IWF fan base. Immediately after this edition of Sacrifice, a poll will go up on our web site with 4 match choices, two each picked by Nighthawk and Angel Blake respectively. Regardless, contracts must be signed. Therefore, before each man, is a contract for a match with a stipulation that will be announced at the Mediocre Canadian Bash. If there are any comments to be made, please make them after signing the contract.
{ Nighthawk, signing the contract while keeping his eyes on Angel Blake the entire time. }
Nighthawk: I'll be seeing you, Angel. And when this is over, you'll wish you never went down this road.
{ Blake smiles a cool painted smirk as he reaches into his black jacket pocket and removes a quill pen. He licks the tip as he speaks. }
Angel: We believe...
{ Blake says as he slowly plays with the pen. Nighthawk places both hands on the table and leans in toward Angel. }
Angel: You will wish you never crossed us...
{ Blake suddenly lashes out with the quill pen and jams the point into the top of Nighthawkâs right hand!!! }
Vasco Dias: Holy hell!
Terri Morasco: What the hell is wrong with him!?
{ Roberto jumps into action checking on Nighthawk as Angel removes the quill pen and inks his name in the blood of Nighthawk. }
Vasco Dias: Weâve seen some sick stuff but that!? That was pretty nasty.
Terri Morasco: Angel is an absolute monster. He just signed his name in the blood of Nighthawk!
{ Blake places the quilly pen down gently, still dripping the blood of Nighthawk. Nightawk glares from behind the grip of Roberto Verona burning with rage. }
Vasco Dias: Nighthawk looks like he wants to kill Angel!
Terri Morasco: I bet he does!
{ Nighthawk finally pushes past Roberto and goes right for Angel, throwing the table over but Blake is quick to powder out of the ring under the bottom rope and back up the ramp as Nighthawk leans on the ropes and demands he get back in the ring. }
Vasco Dias: Nighthawk has a fire burning in his belly!
Terri Morasco: He wants Angelâs blood!
{ Roberto grabs Nighthawk again and pulls him back, the blood still dripping from his open wound but it doesnât seem to phase Nighthawk at all as he locks eyes on the grinning pale face of the Leviathan who stands at the top of the ramp and takes a subtle bow before disappearing into the backstage area. }

Iron Maiden Qualifier
Brooklyn Madrox vs Crystal Zdunich
---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
{The lights in the arena fade to black as purple and white strobe lights begin to flitter about the crowd. The frantic strobe effect suddenly stops as "In the Dark" blasts forth from the speakers of the auditorium and all spotlights turn to the top of the ramp to illuminate the figure standing there, eyes closed and head lowered.}
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Centralia, Pennsylvania - weighing in at 112 pounds and representing the Pack ... she is the IWF Woman's World Champion ... The Little Bad Wolf, BROOKLYYYYYYYN MAAAAAAADROOOOOOX!
{Brooklyn looks up, a smile on her lips as she begins her walk to the ring. She seems to glide up the ring steps before stepping in to the ring and making her way to the center of the ring. Unhooking the Woman's World title from around her waste she holds it high in the air, grinning at her opponent and refusing to break eye contact.}
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn demanded this match because she didn't feel Crystal deserved to be in the Iron Maiden.
Alison Valance: Standing at 5'5 and 115 pounds Crystal Zdunich!
{Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so as Crystal makes her way from the back curtain with her wife Seleana Zdunich. Crystal smiles as she flips off the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her wife. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her wife.}
Vasco Dias: Crystal had some harsh things to say about Brooklyn's career. A little pot calling the kettle black if you ask me...
{As soon as the bell rings Brooklyn goes straight for Crystal with a European uppercut knocking the other women back. Brooklyn never lets up on her attacks, making clear that she is making an example of Crystal, hitting her and kicking her with what seems to be every aspect of her power.}
{As the ref is counting as Brooklyn has Crystal trapped against the ropes Dean Harper pops up and hits the ref in the back of the head.}
{Brooklyn continues to unleash assault after assault even hitting Crystal with a baseball bat that Dean hands her until a new ref comes out and she pins Crystal with a foot on her chest with Dean Harper holding her arm up with a smile at the camera.}
