Where your mouth is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ We go backstage as we see CEO of IWF Simon de Montfort sat at his desk typing away at his computer when suddenly a huge bang is heard and his office door flies open. A furious looking Mike Laszlo marches straight into his office and begins to shout. }
Mike Laszlo: This is bullshit!
Simon de Montfort: Why yes, you can enter my office Mr Laszlo.
Mike Laszlo: Did you see what happened out there! Well, did you?
Simon de Montfort: I suggest you lower your tone with me young man.
Mike Laszlo: I am sick of this, when will you people stop lumbering me with partners I canât trust to have my back and start giving me the opportunities I deserve.
{ Suddenly Simonâs office door opens again and Roberto Verona walks in and the moment he seeâs Mike Laszlo he begins to grin from ear to ear. }
Roberto Verona: Hello Michael, youâre not such a sore loser that youâve asked poor Simon here to overturn the decision have you?
Mike Laszlo: Back off Verona, Iâd tired of your shit.
Roberto Verona: Really, and I am tired of your excuses. I overheard your little ramble just then, itâs always somebody elseâs fault, isnât it Mikey? Never yours? You know what, you want an opportunity to prove yourself, one on one?
Mike Laszlo: Youâre damn right I do. Give me anybody, hell, give me you and we can see how much of a man you really are.
Roberto Verona: That ship sailed a long time ago, Laszlo. You really want to show the world what your capable of? Good. Next week, at Extreme Endurance, youâre going to fight Ryan Blade for the Man of Steel Championship in the Main Event.
{ The crowd can be heard roaring at the news faintly. }
Roberto Verona: You think youâre the man? You think youâre being held back? Hereâs your chance. The spotlight will be all on you and Blade. Itâs time you put up or shut up. The pair of you can tear each other apart the only rule is one of you forces the other tap out. No more excuses Mike. Make yourself before I have you broken.
Mike Laszlo: Youâre looking at the new Man of Steel, Verona, mark my words.
Vasco Dias: Wow guys, thatâs massive, we now know who Blade will defend his title against next week!
Terri Morasco: It should be a great match, I know Ryan has been looking forward to this and what better way to prove himself and make the division proud than main eventing next week.
{ Mike stares Verona down before marching back out of Simonâs office as we go to a commercial break. }

The Collector...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ Suddenly as Roberto and Jess begin to celebrate a huge explosion erupts from the stage as a familiar giggle emanates around the arena and all of the lights go out, plunging the arena into darkness. }
Trent Helms: This isnât good.
Vasco Dias: Itâs ok, Verona is with her.
Terri Morasco: I donât even think he can see in the dark Vasco.
{ Suddenly bells begin to toll as the giggling continues until two lanterns appear from behind the curtains, clutched in the hands of Isabella Maldini and Eternity, the latter with a microphone in her hand, clearly laughing into it. }
Eternity: Tee hee, did you enjoy our little game little fly? It was awful fun.
{ As cameras flash we can see Jess staring at Eternity along with Verona who appears to be reassuring her sheâs ok. }
Eternity: I caught you in my web but you escaped, why did you leave before we really started to have fun? Spoilsport.
{ Eternity laughs again as suddenly the Watch man emerges, pushing a coffin in front of him which is marked âKathleen Conway: Beloved Wife, Mother. Artistically taken from us. 2013â. }
Terri Morasco: OK, perhaps Verona can worry now. This is the guy who laid him out for three months at Bloody Assizes.
Vasco Dias: This just doesnât seem right.
Eternity: I brought a friend along with us to continue the games, you remember Kathleen, donât you little fly? She scraped and the clawed, but she couldnât stop Big Daddy Lexy trapping her inside this lovely box of mine so I can get her out to play whenever I like.
{ Eternity giggle eccentrically again as the crowd boo. The trio slowly begin to amble down to the ring, the lanterns swaying eerily as the procession gets closer and closer to the ring. }
Eternity: But donât worry, Iâm an avid collector little fly, I want to get Kathy a friend to play with. Next week I am going to put you inside a box too, you two will be the centrepieces of my collection. Weâll have so much fun together⌠but I donât think your friend there wants to let us play. Why is he so mean Mr Watchman?
{ The Watchman shakes his head as if to say he doesnât know. }
Eternity: Donât worry, weâll make him go away so weâre all alone little flyâŚ
{ Suddenly the lights come back on as Eternity and Isabella begin to slowly circle the ring and the Watchman walks slowly towards the apron but as he reaches up to do so suddenly the coffin lid begins to move and after a few thuds it flies open and the crowd goes absolutely insane as Kat Conway leaps out of the box to a huge ovation! }
Terri Morasco: Holy crap! Thatâs Kat Conway, we havenât seen her since last month!
Vasco Dias: The toys out of the box!
{ The crowd roar as Kathy runs around the ring and tackles Eternity to the ground, pummeling her with fist after fist, which Eternity bizarrely seems to enjoy whilst Jessica begins to run and leaps through the ropes crashing straight into Isabella to a big pop as they go smashing through the barricade. The Watchman stops watching the chaos and stares up at Roberto Verona who begins to smile before beckoning him to get into the ring but as he is about to oblige suddenly Katherine Lockheart emerges from behind the curtains. }
Katherine Lockheart: Please forgive me Mr Verona for the interruption, guards, separate these women!
{ The crowd boos as security piles down the ramp to pull the fighting women apart as the Watchman just stands still looking at Verona as the chaos is interrupted to the disappointment of the audience. }
Katherine Lockheart: I said Iâd sort this mess out and seeing as you girls canât wait to get your hands on each other I am going to make this short as sweet. Next week, Jessica Reed will defend her Diamondâs Championship in a Submission Elimination Xtreme Match against #1 Contender Eternity!
{ The crowd pop as Jess nods her head and Eternity just smiles sadistically. }
Katherine Lockheart: But why donât we make it more interesting. Isabella, you want to put your nose in? Fine. Letâs make this a tag team elimination match, with you on Eternityâs team and Kat on Jessâ. If either of you can submit the champion or the challenger you earn yourselves a shot at the Ruby Championship at October Revolution. If you submit one another, you earn nothing. Just remember though, if you eliminate either girl the Diamondâs Title cannot change hands, so perhaps you ought to think about whether you can trust your partner there EternityâŚ
{ The crowd roar as Kathy nods her head, eager to get her hands on Eternity after months of torment. Suddenly an uneasy tension grows between the new allies as they look at eachother and Katherine drops her microphone as she turns to leave. }
Terri Morasco: Looks like the plan backfired!
Vasco Dias: You play with the devil youâre going to get burned eventually.
{ The camera flashes between each women before we slowly fade to a commercial break. }

HEAVY WEIGHT SINGLES MATCHLex Sense vs Xavier Cross
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{The fans are on their feet, chanting.}
âXavier Cross! Xavier Cross! Xavier Cross!â
{Cross turns around, doing the Atlanta Falcon âDirty Birdâ wing flap, as he makes his way to the ring. Heâll stop and find the first child he sees, pulling a pen out of his boot, immediately signing something for the kid. Before moving over to the other side of the ramp giving fans a series of hi-fives.}
Alison Valance: "Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, coming to you from Lexington, Virginia....He stands at Six Feet...three inches, weighing in at Two-Hundred, and Thirty One pounds. Xavier....THE PHOENIX....CROOOOOSSSS!"
{Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesnât enter through the apron but climbs the outside of the turnbuckle, standing tall as he looks around the arena a grin on his face. He slaps his chest three times before hopping into the ring. He kisses his middle and index finger, pointing them to the sky, before looking down, crossing each wrist to make an X, he slowly raises his arms up. Each post shoots a pyro cannon perpendicular to each other, creating a flaming X for a moment.}
{Xavier moves to the corner, pulling himself on top of the turnbuckle, adjusting the tape on his wrists, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin.}
Vasco Dias: "Cross looks as fired up and ready as ever. He's ready to show the Imperial Champion what he's made of."
Trent Helms: "I have it on good authority that much like the moon, Xavier Cross is made entirely of cheese."
Terri Morasco: "Xavier Cross has the heart of a champion, and tonight, he faces the champion with no heart."
{The haunting strum of an acoustic guitar ushers in Mark Collie's, "In Time" as the ring is illuminated with a black light.}
"I can tell what you're thinking,
All your doubts and fears.
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find
The reason I'm here."
{The final words echo into the ether and the song transitions into the organs that intro "Destroy the World Around Me", by Mushroomhead. A wave of fog has begun to blanket the stage, traversing towards the crowd and ring. An audience stands still in anticipation, some frightened others enthralled. A hooded Sense raises up from underneath the stage, staring out into a raucous audience that love to hate the man with no fear. Once risen, Sense removes the hood and then raises his arms into the air as pillars of fire explode one after the other across the stage. Sense steps through the flames as the harsh drums, guitars and vocals blare throughout the arena.}
Alison Valance: "And the opponent.... From West Yorkshire, England.... Weighing in at three hundred and fifty pounds.... He is the Imperial Wrestling Champion..... LEX SENSE!"
{He stomps his way down the ramp to the beat of the drums, tearing off his sleeveless jean jacket and hood along the way. Sense stalks around the corner of the ring before grabbing the top rope and pulling himself up and over and into the squared circle, releasing a primal scream that brings the fans into a near riot.}
Terri Morasco: "This Sense is the baddest man on the planet, bar none. He's the champion, and it's going to take a lot to get that belt away from him."
Vasco Dias: "He defends on Sunday against Spike Kane, but tonight he goes one-on-one against the former and possibly future Heavyweight Champion."
Terri Morasco: "And let's not forget that Ryan Blade is at ringside, standing in Cross' corner. Could he get involved here tonight?"
Vasco Dias: "I don't think it's going to matter. We're about to see a real barnburner between two of the best."
{The referee calls for the bell to signal the start of the match and both men go on the attack. As the two competitors come near each other, Sense grabs Cross around the neck and drives him back into the turnbuckles. Sense reaches back and catches Cross with a punch, and then another. Cross ducks under a third shot and swaps positions, lighting up Lex's chest with a stinging Chop. Cross strikes Sense in the chest with the palm of his hand as the crowd woos, but it doesn' seem to affect the big man. Sense grabs Cross by the head and pulls him into a Knee Lift to the gut. Sense keeps Cross in his grasp with one hand, holding him in place to strike him square in the forehead with a stiff closed fist. Xavier is rocked as Sense clobbers him with another hard punch, and then back elbow to the chin. Lex grabs Cross' arm and Irish Whips him towards the ropes, but Cross stops in his tracks and pulls his arm free, catching Lex with a Standing Dropkick.}
Terri Morasco: "Cross is definitely the faster of these two men, and he needs to take full advantage of that if he wants to neutralize Lex's power."
Vasco Dias: "He's got to stick and move, that's for sure. You don't want to try and out-brawl or out-muscle Lex Sense. Cross is smart enough to not even try that."
{Cross then runs and hits the ropes before jumping and flying at Sense with a Running CrossBody Block. The big man catches Cross and holds him in his arms for a moment and walks closer to the ring ropes before sending him flying back with a Fallaway Slam. As Xavier goes over the top rope, he grabs onto it and latches on before dropping onto the ring apron. He leaps up and jumps off the top rope, grabbing Sense's head and looking to drive him down with a Springboard Bulldog. The monster shows superior strength and surprising speed when he manages to catch Cross in mid-air before driving him down with a Sidewalk Slam. The big man stands up and Cross quickly follows, holding his lower back as he does, allowing Sense to seize the opportunity and strike him with a European Uppercut that knocks the former Heavyweight Champion back into the ropes.}
Vasco Dias: "You can just see that sick look in Sense's eye. This man may not even have a soul."
Terri Morasco: "He's got Cross against the ropes, and you just know he's not going to let that go to waste."
Trent Helms: "If you're a wrestler and you're not a little bit scared of Sense, you're crazy."
{With nowhere to go, Sense wails away on Cross as he tries to block the blows, and the referee forces him to stop his assault. Once the referee gets Sense seperated from Cross, the smaller wrestler gets to his feet and catches Sense in the chest with a Shoot Kick as he tries to go back on the attack. The Imperial Champion takes a step back and Cross lunges forward, looking for a takedown with the Lou Thesz Press.... and again Sense catches him in mid-air, but this time Cross uses it to his advantage and turns the exchange around with a surprisingly Monkey Flip. Sense flips and gets to his feet quickly, walking right into a Sitdown Jawbreaker that stuns the big man. Cross hits the ropes and bounces off, sending all his weight into Sense with a Shoulder Block that nearly takes Sense down. Cross hits the ropes again and goes for another Shoulder Block, but Sense nearly takes his head off with a vicious Double Axe Handle Smash to the face.}
Vasco Dias: "Just when it looked like Cross was getting some momentum, one big strike from the monster stopped him cold."
{As Cross sits up, Sense grabs him by the arm and rips him to his feet, pulling him into another knee shot to the gut, and then a pointed elbow shot to the back of the neck as he bends forward. The champion pulls Cross in and hooks his arm, lifting him and slamming him down hard with a Pumphandle Slam that echoes throughout the arena. Sense drops down and mounts Xavier, raining down on him with punch after punch as the smaller wrestler tries to cover up. Blade yells at the referee to break up the beating as he counts to four and Lex stops his assault. Sense glares down to the outside of the ring at Blade for a moment before turning his attention back to Cross, picking him up and pulling him into position for his signature Uranage called 'The End'. Before he can lift Cross, however, the speedy wrestler is able to slip free and hit Lex in the back of the leg with a stiff kick, trying to knot up his thigh. Cross connects with another kick.... and another.... and another.}
Terri Morasco: "Cross is trying to chop down the big redwood. He's going to have to cut him down to size if he wants to win this match."
Trent Helms: "Who knew he was a lumberjack?"
{A fourth kick to the leg drops Lex to a knee, where Cross hits him with a combination of jabs. Cross turns his back to head for the ropes, but Lex immediately reaches out and grabs him by the arm, spinning him back around. The big man reaches out and grabs both hands around Xavier's throat, lifting him high in the air. Lex powers Cross up and into Powerbomb position, but Cross quickly drops down and goes for the Hurricanrana.... but Lex hangs onto him and slings him back up for the Powerbomb. However Cross uses the momentum to keep going up and over Sense, trying to pull him into the Sunset Flip Pin. With Lex off balance, Cross is able to successfully pull him down and go for the pin. 1.... Sense powers out and Cross quickly gets to his feet. As Sense goes to get to a vertical base, Cross runs in and drills him in the head with his signature Shining Wizard! Cross gets back to his feet and wastes no time flipping and hitting the Standing Shooting Star Press portion of his B/S/T Combo and going for the pin!}
Trent Helms: "This is it! He's going to do it!"
{The referee drops down and makes the count. 1.... 2.. Lex powers out!}
Trent Helms: "....Or not."
Vasco Dias: "It takes a lot to keep this giant down. Cross is going to have to do more work if he wants to do just that."
{Lex rolls over to his stomach and starts to push up to his feet, but Cross drops a forearm down across his back in an effort to keep the big man down. Xavier graps Sense's arm and locks on it and drops down.... going for the Cross Examination! Cross locks on his signature Crossface hold, looking for the submission victory. Before Cross can really sync in the move, Lex starts to push up.... picking his upper body up from the mat and moving up to his knees and then in an impressive show of strength, he powers Cross up onto his shoulders! Cross breaks his hold and Lex turns with the opponent on his shoulder... driving him into the mat with Left Senseless! The Death Valley Driver takes Cross out of the match, and Sense hooks a leg. 1.... 2.... Cross gets his shoulder up!}
Terri Morasco: "That should have been it. That was one devastating Death Valley Driver."
Trent Helms: "Left Senseless? It's not only a move name, but it's going to be Cross' state for the rest of the match. He has to be knocked loopy after that one."
{Sense gets to his feet and stands over Cross, pulling him up by his shorts and clubbing him between the shoulderblades, spinning him around and trapping Cross in a Full Nelson. Lex holds Cross in the move for a second as the crowd takes a good look at both men, before lifting Cross high in the air and slamming him back down to Earth with the Full Nelson Slam. With the opponent down, the champion takes a couple of steps back before coming back forward and jumping into the air, coming down with a big Leg Drop across the chest of Xavier Cross. Lex gets to his feet and goes to repeat the sequence, but this time as he jumps, Cross rolls out of the way and Lex's bottom crashes to the mat. Xavier gets to his feet first and hunches over, catching his bearings as Lex pushes to his feet over to the side. When Sense gets up, he approaches Cross from behind, but the quick star jumps without looking and flips, catching Lex in the head with the Pele Kick!}
Vasco Dias: "Out of nowhere Cross strikes back! Pele himself would be proud."
Terri Morasco: "But Lex is still on his feet! That was more of a minor annoyance to the champion than anything else."
Trent Helms: "I wouldn't be so sure. The big man looks dazed."
{Cross connects with a left jab, and then a right jab, staggering the champion. Seeing the big man on wobbly legs, Cross runs back and hits the ropes for monetum, and ducking a big Clothesline attempt from Lex and stepping up the ropes as Lex turns around, springboarding and spinning.... hooking the head and nailing the Phoenix Driver! The crowd cheers wildly as Xavier hits the signature Springboard DDT and Lex to the mat! Xavier crawls over and struggles to roll Sense over, finally turning him and hooking the leg for the pin. 1..... 2..... Sense kicks out! The air gets sucked out of the building as Lex's arm comes off of the canvas and both men lay on the mat before beginning to work their way to their feet. Cross gets to his feet first and heads out through the ropes, slowly making his way to the top turnbuckle. When Sense gets his footing, Cross leaps off with the Double Axe Handle to the back of the bent open, putting him back on the mat.}
Terri Morasco: "Cross is looking for anyway way to keep Sense down for the three count. Easier said than done, that's for sure."
{And right on cue, Sense immediately starts to push back up to his feet as Cross stands over him and looks down in frustration. Xavier helps guide Sense to his feet, pulling him into position for the Snapmare Driver. But before Cross can complete the move, Lex pulls his head free and grabs Cross, trapping his arms and nailing the Straight Jacket Suplex! Sense gets up and shows signs that the end may be near despite the fact that his emotionless complexion never changes. He rips Cross up to a vertical base and strikes him with a sick Headbutt, stunning him and leaving him open for another attack. Lex backs Cross into the ropes and shoots him off, grabbing him, spinnning, and looking to end it with The Prediction!.... but Cross is able to slip free and land on his feet!}
Trent Helms: "He narrowly escaped certain death! Lex was going to put him right through the mat!"
{Cross stumbles backwards and doesn't have time to catch his footing as Lex turns around and grabs him, hoisting him up and onto his shoulder. Lex takes a few steps before charging and going for the Running Powerslam, but again Cross is able to slip out! He falls to his feet behind the champion and uses the big man's own momentum to push him into the corner turnbuckles, where Sense hits head-first. Lex stumbles out of the corner and Cross grabs him, trying to turn him into the Crossifixion! Lex fights him off and picks Cross up from behind, but Cross flips through and lands on his feet, again behind Lex. He grabs Lex and turns him for the Crossifixion, he steps onto the second rope and launches himself off, turning and driving Lex into the mat with the rope-aided Crossifixion! The crowd goes absolutely insane as Cross struggles to turn Sense over for the pin. 1..... 2..... 3!}
Alison Valance: "Here is your winner by pinfall..... XAVIER CROSS!"
{The roof blows off the building as Cross gets off of the cover and gets to his feet, having his arm raised in victory by the referee.}
Vasco Dias: "He did it! Xavier Cross has just beaten the Imperial Champion!"
Terri Morasco: "Wowwwwwwwwww. You have to consider this a bit of an upset. Lex Sense has been rolling as of late, but tonight, Xavier Cross has shown us that he can hang with the best of the best. And just think about the momentum he has going into next week's Pay-Per-View!"
Trent Helms: "Lex Sense just didn't have it tonight, but you'd better believe he's going to be out for blood next week. And Xavier Cross? He'd better watch his back."
Vasco Dias: "With the Juggernauts and masked men running around, I think everyone here in Imperial is watching their backs at all times."
{Cross climbs to the top rope in celebration as Ryan Blade rolls into the ring and respectfully claps for his mentor after the hard fought victory. Lex Sense rolls under the bottom rope and holds his head while glaring back into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: "Our Imperial Champion was toppled by Xavier Cross, and now you have to wonder what's next?
Trent Helms: "Who knows, Vassie? Anything can happen in the IWF!"

Blade...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ As we prepare for our main event we suddenly get taken backstage as Willy Carter frantically rushes after Ryan Blade who is walking along a corridor somewhere in the arena. }
Willy Carter: Ryan, Ryan can I please get a word with youâŚ
Ryan Blade: What do you want Carter?
Willy Carter: I was hoping you could share your reaction to the news that Mike Laszlo has been confirmed as your opponent at Extreme Endurance?
{ Blade scoffs. }
Ryan Blade: Great, another week of hot air⌠how do you think I feel, Willy? Do you think I care who they picked to line up opposite me?
Willy Carter: Well, I⌠ermâŚ
Ryan Blade: Newsflash, I donât give a crap. They could have fed me anybody on this roster, I have the self-belief and talent to beat anyone.
Willy Carter: I wasnâtâŚ
Ryan Blade: Letâs flip this around, Willy. Why donât I ask you a question?
Willy Carter: WellâŚOk, sure.
Ryan Blade: When you look at me, what do you see? You see a champion, a bonafide success story, a man who embodies endurance. I am every inch the Man of Steel that my belt suggests, I have proven week after week that I am the toughest son of a bitch in this company and I have done so since day one. When you look at Mike Laszlo, tell me Willy, what do you see?
Willy Carter: Well he shaved his beard off and dyed his hairâŚ
Ryan Blade: Exactly, you see a man whoâs so desperate to find a new life after his previous flame was stomped out that he is willing to even change his physical appearance. A man who is so desperate for success that he will run his mouth at anybody of significance he can see in a vain hope that he may get them to pay him some attention. A man who is so desperate to be the hot prospect he once way again that he is willing to run his mouth about a real champion.
{ Blade stares into the camera. }
Ryan Blade: You know what, Laszlo. Look into my eyes and listen up. I have fought tough and nail to be the man I am today. I have earned respect where youâve demanded it. You think you belong on the top of the pile? You think youâve got what it takes to be the guy? Well I say you havenât got shit. This weekend Iâm not going to win for the sake of my belt, because thatâd be too easy. No. I am going to break you, you arrogant little jackass and when you clamour for the final word, Iâll make sure you canât even swallow a meal let alone talk shit about me again. This division means everything to me, this belt means everything to me, all that matters to you is your own self-inflated sense of importance. This Sunday, youâll learn how a real man conducts himself.
{ Blade suddenly turns away from the camera and pushes his way past Willy who stands a little flabbergasted as we return to ringside ready for our main event. }

TRIPLE THREAT HEAVY WEIGHTS MATCH
Spike Kane vs Cyrus Daniels vs Xander Famularo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, up next we have the triple threat match with Xander Famularo, Cyrus Daniels, and Spike Kane.
Terri Morasco: And during the break we had an announcement from Riley Griffiths passing on the word that every IWF superstar was banned from ringside-
Vasco Dias: And if they interfere theyâll have to face the consequences!
Terri Morasco: Well this is going to be one great heavyweight showcase.
Vasco Dias: I heard a rumour backstage that this match could have implications in the heavyweight title scene.
{The three men stand in the ring, each of them confident in their abilities, each of them wanting to pick up the victory here the week before IWFâs fourth pay per view event. The bell rings, and for a brief second nobody moves, Xander, Spike, and Cyrus glaring at each other before like a thunder strike both Xander and Cyrus charge at Spike. Fist fly wildly as the two start to team up on Spike and the God of Xtreme tries desperately to protect himself from the beating the two men plan on putting on him.}Vasco Dias: Now that is teamwork.
Terri Morasco: Itâs not a handicap match!
{Xander knocks Spike down to the ground with a nasty double axe handle and both he and Cyrus begin to stomp a mudhole into the tag team champion. Xander barks an order at Cyrus getting him to back off. Cyrus cocks his head looking a little pissed off at Xander before nodding and backing up. Xander shoves his foot into Spikeâs face and pushes down hard. He then backs off and signals for Daniels to rush in. Cyrus smirks and charges towards the corner, but at the last minute changes direction and sends a vicious Yakuza kicks into the face of Xander, pushing him backwards and forcing him through the ropes and to the outside, leaving just Daniels and Kane in the ring.}Terri Morasco: I was wondering how long itâd take these mercenaries to turn on each other.
Vasco Dias: Quiet. Things are about to get interesting.
{Daniels glares at Spike and a sick smile spreads across as he drags him to his feet. Cyrus whips Spike off the ropes and catches him with a huge sidewalk slam on the return. Cyrus sits on the mat next to Spike and claps his hands chuckling to himself before climbing back to his feet and dragging Kane with him, but Spike bursts to life thrusting his arms upwards and sending a harsh shot to the jaw of Cyrus. Daniels staggers backwards and goes for a power lariat at the head of Spike, but Kane ducks underneath and turns catching Cyrus Daniels off guard with a super-fast-superkick! Daniels head snaps backwards before he drops like a tree. Spike staggers a little but catches a breath before heâs grabbed from behind by Xander Famularo, with a sickening German Suplex!}Terri Morasco: Oh my god, the way these men are hitting each other is almost sickening.
Vasco Dias: YEAH!!! SNAP HIS NECK!!
{Xander holds the suplex with a bridge going for the pin. The ref hits the mat, ONEâŚâŚ..TWO! âŚ-KICKOUT! Spike manages to roll to the ropes as he recovers from the surprise move from Xander. Famularo rolls to a knee and he sees Daniels getting to his feet. A snarl spreads across his face as he grabs Daniels from behind and hefts him up with a sit out powerbomb. Xander holds the legs of Cyrus and goes for another pin. The ref slides down and countsâŚ..ONE! âŚ..TWO! âŚ..THR-NO! Spike Kane breaks the pinfall with a running diving elbow to the back of Xander Famularo.}Vasco Dias: Spike keeps the match going, and keeps himself in it.
Terri Morasco: Xander seems to want this match over and done with.
{Spike stalks Xander, waiting for him to get to his feet. As Famularo climbs to his feet Spike hunched over flips him the finger before BAM! THUNDERSTRUCK!!! The crowd go ape shit as Xander flops to the ground. Spike scrambles about to go for the cover when the tron comes to life. The screen shows the masked men walking through the hallway âHey Spike. Watch thisâŚ.â the two men seem to have found Jake âThe Aceâ Conway and begin to start attacking him. The Ace, to his credit tries to fight them off as best as he can before the feed cuts. Spike is on his knees and grabs at his hair before rolling out of the ring and running up the ramp and to the backstage. In the ring Xander has crawled to the ropes and has a sick grin on his face.}Terri Morasco: What the? Spike had it won with the ThunderstruckâŚ..but those masked menâŚ.god dammit!
Vasco Dias: Well, it seems like the Juggernauts have always got a back up plan.
{Xander uses the ropes to climb to his feet, meanwhile Cyrus Daniels has also climbed to his feet. Daniels motions for Xander to bring it, Xander obligates charging forward as the two men lock up, possible one final time. Catching Xander with a hard knee to the midsection, Cyrus breaks the hold, bouncing off the ropes, hitting a sickening neck break, as the mat rumbles with impact. Cyrus slides back to his feet throwing a hard kick to the side of the heavyweight champion. Cyrus lifts Xander to his feet, looking to end this. But Xander charges forward hitting Cyrus with a vicious right hand, staggering Cyrus into the ropes. Xander kisses his right hand, before charging forward again, Cyrus realizing another impact would knock him out. Dropping down, pulling on the ropes, Xander topples over the top, and crashes to the floor below. Cyrus looks up, laughing a bit.}
Terri Morasco: Holy crap...Xander just ate the floor...
Vasco Dias: Cyrus Daniels, always has top ring awareness, he knew what needed to be done.{The ref begins the count}1....2....3....4....{Xander starts to stir, as Cyrus catches his breath, looking out below, waiting for what may happen next.}5...6....{Xander is on his feet, shaking off the impact and daze. He attempts to climb in the ring, to no avail, as Bernard de Montfort has grabbed a hold of his leg. Xander swings, but Bernard is quicker, ducking the shot, as Xander charges.}7...8....9....10....{The ref calls for the bell, as Xander looks pissed. Bernard slides into the ring, as Cyrus chucks his arm up in victory. Xander slams his hands on the side of the ring, as Daniels mocks him inside the ring. Grabbing his Heavyweight Championship, Xander exits out.}Vasco Dias: "With some interesting methods. Cyrus Daniels pulls out the victory, with the help of Bernard de Montfort!
Terri Morasco: "It may have been a count out, but Daniels showed great poise tonight. This could be interesting leading into the Pay Per view!"{The show ends with Cyrus Daniels in the middle of the ring, making a belt motion on his waist}
Well howdy there pardner.
