Monday Night Sacrifice May 6th 2019CenturyLink Arena Boise, Idaho
------------------------------------ SEGMENTRest in Power------------------------------------ In Memory Of Maxine Valentine 1994-2019{The show cold opens on a memorial image of Maxine Valentine before transitioning to a somber dimly lit arena as IWF pays tribute the fallen colleague, friend and talent Maxine Valentine by way of a resounding ten bell salute that echoes throughout the arena. We then fade to black for a few moments before the show goes on.}
-----------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Lord Dominicus vs Gibberg
---------------------------------
{ A red glow overtakes the arena as "The American Nightmare" by Ice Nine Kills bombards the crowd with its 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 to the steps and climbs in posing in the center of the ring with his hands on his hips. }
Vasco Dias: So is this Lord Dominicus Rob Diamond or?
Terri Morasco: Heâs from an alternate Earth.
Vasco Dias: An alternate Earth where Rob Diamond did a bunch of steroids and got leg extension surgery?
Terri Morasco: Apparently?
Vasco Dias: PLOT HOLE!!!
{ Gibberg stands in the ring ready to battle. }
Vasco Dias: We both agree that Gibberg is going to die, right?
Terri Morasco: Oh, absolutely.
Vasco Dias: Good. Iâm glad we agree.
{ Gibberg storms out of the corner but Lord Dominicus catches him with a big-time boot to the jaw sending Gibberg down onto his backside! }
Vasco Dias: Just pin him!
Terri Morasco: Yeah itâs probably over already.
{ Lord Dominicus peels Gibberg off the mat and throws him hard across the ring with a two-handed choke toss! Gibberg tries to get up but Lord Dominicus rushes him with a nasty clothesline! }
Terri Morasco: Gibberg is in over his head.
Vasco Dias: Clearly!
{ Lord Dominicus watches as Gibberg tries to stand and then hits him with JUST PUNT A MOTHER! Gibberg is struggling to breathe as Lord Dominicus laughs from beneath his mask. Lord Dominicus reaches down and pulls Gibberg up off the mat with one hand by the throat and then hoists him up into the air for a CHOKESLAM!!! }
Vasco Dias: I now pronounce Gibberg a corpse!
Terri Morasco: Heâs dead already!
{ Lord Dominicus pulls Gibberg up one more time, he tucks Gibbergâs head between his legs and rips him up into the air for a violent D-BOMB!!!! Lord Dominicus simply places a boot over the chest of Gibberg for the ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Vasco Dias: Lord Dominicus picks up another win!
Terri Morasco: Heâs racking them up!
{ Lord Dominicus holds his arms up in victory as his music plays. }
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Read the fine Print
------------------------------------
{âHail to the Kingâ hits the speakers.}
Vasco Dias: âAnd here he is, number one contender Ethan King!â
Terri Morasco: âIn a shocking twist, Roberto Verona, a master class legal counsel, may have tipped the scales in Ethanâs favor.â
Vasco Dias: âYou have to protect the integrity of this company, Xavier is locked up under contract, and now, heâll be punished at Night of the Immortals.â
Terri Morasco: âThe message boards have been blowing up, as has social media. What exactly is Ethan going to announce tonight?â
{Ethan King struts out, adjusting his tie as he stands on the top of the ramp. Looking out with an air of disgust written on his face, eyeballing the fans as he struts down to the ring. His aura is that of arrogance, as Ethan slowly climbs the steps wiping his feet on the apron before entering the ring. He pauses for a moment, before strutting over grabbing a microphone.}
Ethan King: âLadies and Gentlemen!....or whatever they call you disgusting inhabitants of IdahoâŚâ
{The crowd proceeds to rain down boos right on cue, as Ethan pauses for a moment shaking his head.}
Vasco Dias: âLET THE MAN SPEAK!â
Ethan King: âListen here you filthy little potato farmers, when I am speaking, you donât even dare of breathing out of your pathetic lips. I am here to announce just exactly whatâs in store for yourâŚâ
{He proceeds to use the most over exaggerated finger air quotes.}
Ethan King: âWorld Champion.â
{Ethan begins to pace back and forth, tapping his chin as he ponders, glancing up at the Night of the Immortals sign.}
Ethan King: âThe suspense built enough for you, at Night of the Immortals...I will be taking the World Title from Xavier Cross in a-â
{âX Gon Give It To Yaâ hits the speakers, as Xavier Cross, as the lights go out around everything but the ring. The music begins to scratch up, before going completely silent. Until a Dragonâs Roar rips through the arena, and an explosion of pyro hits the stage. As the smoke fades, Xavier Cross is standing there wearing a red LED light up, sleeveless hoodie in the taste of expensive ridiculousness. The hood is up, as Xavier begins to pace in the darkness.}
Xavier Cross: âEthan King, you sonofabitch⌠You embarrassed me at my historic contract signing, you broke Red Cap...how dare you...you broke my sweet friendâŚâ
Ethan King: âYou...do realize it was just like, headgear right?â
Xavier Cross: âHe was my friend Ethan King! You killed him, Ethan King!â
Ethan King: âTurn the lights back up. This is ridiculous.â
{The lights come back up, and we clearly see that that isnât Xavier on the stage but some backstage IWF employee with duct tape on his mouth, and tape wrapped around his hand to hold a âmicrophoneâ. Ethan quickly spins around, catching the real Xavier Cross about to slide into the ring from behind him.}
Xavier Cross: âWay to ruin the surprise!â
Ethan King: âEnough. Iâm tired of your stupid little games. Xavier Cross, at Night of the Immortals, you wonât be able to sneak, you wonât be able to run or escape. You will be losing your title to me, in Hell...inâŚ.a...cellâŚâ
Vasco Dias: â...oh my godâŚâ
Terri Morasco: âThe world title match is going straight to hell!â
{Xavierâs face goes white, as each word rolls off Ethanâs tongue with viciousness.}
Ethan King: âBut Iâm a fair man Xavier, and I know that there is only one person who can go to hell with us, and be able to call that match right down the middleâŚ.So I will also be appointing a special guest refereeâŚâ
Xavier Cross: âThis is absurd!â
Ethan King: âIf you wouldnât have put on a childâs tantrum, I wouldnât have been handed this power Xavier, and itâs only going to get sweeterâŚâ
{He pauses for a moment, leaning over the rope, looking down at Xavier Cross.}
Ethan King: âThe special guest referee is going to be...Andrew...JacobsenâŚâ
{The sold-out crowd explodes, hearing Andrewâs name, as Xavier shakes his head, looking furious as he begins to kick and throw various things at ringside, as Ethan steps back for a moment. Realizing Xavier has lost his focus, Ethan slips out of the ring. Xavier turns around as Ethan goes to hit Xavier with a vicious clothesline, but Xavier ducks, running through leaping over the barricade, before rushing through the crowd.}
Xavier Cross: âFine Ethan, you want to go to hellâŚ.you go to hell, me, Iâm going to convince Jacobsen the best thing he could possibly do is stay the hell away from this match. Iâd hate to see his real best friend annihilate his fake best friend!â
{Ethan just gives a smug look as he climbs up the ring steps, to get a good look at Xavier, before motioning his hips indicating the belt as âHail to the Kingâ plays as Xavier stews and retreats into the crowd.}
------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH Being InFamous vs The Clergy
---------------------------------
{The match begins as soon as the bell rings. Uriel and Rob go to war against one another. Both doing their hardest to get the other one knocked to the mat. James makes the hot tag in and Oracle tags himself in while Uriel is about to do a move. James is going to town on Oracle, Uriel tries to interfere and Rob drags him away from the ring. James pins Oracle while Rob and Uriel fight outside the ring.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Never Stops
------------------------------------
{As Nighthawk walks into the player's entrance at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, the "Wrestling Machine" signs autographs for the kids lining the guardrails outside the arena. But as he signs autographs and takes selfies with everyone, Nighthawk glances to his immediate left and notices Angel Blake standing in front of the door with his fists clenched. Rolling his eyes, as if to say "In front of kids? Really?", Nighthawk tries to push into the arena only for Angel Blake to block the door and then throw a barfight-style headbutt to the face, opening up the still-bandaged gash over Nighthawk's left eye. Flipping his long hair out of his face, noticing fresh blood streaming down his face, Nighthawk throws his gear bag to a member of the event staff and immediately pastes Angel with a rapid-fire barrage of European uppercuts before throwing him back-first into the wall of the CenturyLink Arena before security rapidly separates both men and guides them inside the arena.}
-----------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH Dean Harper vs Phillip DeForrest
---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is schedules for one fall!
Terri Morasco: This match will be an interesting one to watch for sure.
Vasco Dias: Interesting? I think you mean a blood bath. Last time Harper lost someone he wrecked Chris Card.
Terri Morasco: To be fair, that was before Extreme Endurance last yearâŚ
{As âfinal countdown startsâ Phillip walks heroically from the back, strikes a pose, then runs into the ring to take his place in the ring}
Alison Valance: Coming down to the ring first at 6â2ââ and 224 pounds⌠PHILLIP DEFORREST!
Terri Morasco: Phillip is looking pretty confident
Vasco Dias: He looks terrified, Terri. Donât lie.
{Lights go to black, leaving the arena in dark silence for a few moments before the dark, rhythmic pulses of the beginning of Hand that Feeds by Nine Inch Nails begins to surge through the arena. Lights flash randomly through the arena, and soon flashes of some of the most savage moments of Dean's career flash in flickering effect on the 'tron. Finally, a single white spotlight shines down in the center of the stage, where Dean is crouching as he shifts side to side along with the music, hoodie and leather jacket open to show a bare chest underneath. He smiles up at the camera, eyes alight with a savage mania before he leaps to his feet, the motion bringing a massive flash as every light in the arena flares. He holds that position for a few moments, fist raised in the air before sprinting down to ringside. He leaps up onto the Apron, vaulting over the top rope and flipping into a roll that carries him to the opposite side of the ring, where he catches himself in the ropes and lounges amongst them almost casually, bobbing his head along with the music. With the help of the ropes, he shrugs off the hoodie and jacket before sliding back into the ring, tossing the removed clothing into the crowd. He takes a slow turn, arms wide as he takes in the reaction from the crowd, before cracking his neck and settling into his corner.}
Alison Valance: Next to the ring, standing at 6â2ââ and weighing in at 200 pounds⌠DEAN HARPER!
Terri Morasco: Dean Harper lost Maxine this week. Iâm surprised he came here for a match tonight if Iâm honest.
Vasco Dias: The ring and the fight seems to be the only thing The Pack use to handle any of their problems.
{ Phillip looks cautious on his side of the ring as Dean stands there waiting for the bell to ring. The ref seems to check on Dean before hand but is waved off before calling for the bell. As soon as the bell rings Dean charges forward and hits Phillip with a repeated knee strike to Phillipâs midsection.}
Terri Morasco: Dean starting this match off with no wasted time.
Vasco Dias: You know how he likes to keep things fast pace.
{ Dean backs off as Phillip falls to the mat, struggling to breath before getting to his feet and going for Dean. Dean moves out of the way and Phillip falls to the mat again.}
Terri Morasco: Dean mocking Phillip here.
Vasco Dias: He has a plan, donât worry.
{With a clear sign of irritation Phillip hits Dean with a spear into the ropes. He follows that up by kicking Dean a few times before the ref makes him back off.}
Vasco Dias: Phillip certainly showed himself to be willing to throw down.
Terri Morasco: I worry. I never trust Harper when he takes a hit that easy.
{With a smile Dean hits Phillip with a Roll-through Russian legsweep followed by a flipping leg drop.}
Vasco Dias: Dean hasnât lost a step.
{Dean waits for Phillip to get back to his feet and hits him with a spinning side kick.} Vasco Dias: Dean is making sure every hit counts here.
Terri Morasco: Playing with his food more like.
{Dean goes for a Jawbreaker knocking Phillip down again. Dean kicks him in the ribs a few times as Phillip seems to curl in on himself.}
Terri Morasco: Phillip is taking a beating out here.
Vasco Dias: He told Verona he would fight The Pack. He had to expect this a little.
{ Dean backs off slowly, before hitting Phillip with an Up is Down.}
Vasco Dias: Dean is not holding anything back here tonight.
Terri Morasco: Iâm not sure this is how he should be handling this situation.
{ Picks Phillip up and holds him in the corner, draping him over the ropes.}
Terri Morasco: Oh I donât like thisâŚ
{ Dean backs off again before running forward and hitting him with a high running drop kick. Then does it again, and again until the ref drags him back away from Phillip.}
Terri Morasco: Dean is unhinged.
Vasco Dias: I think he knows what he is doing.
{ Phillip waves the ref off and gets back to his feet going forward.}
Terri Morasco: Phillip not giving up.
Vasco Dias: He really, really should.
{ Dean hits Phillip with a Reality Break.}
Terri Morasco: This isnât looking good.
{Dean hits Phillip with a SACRIFICE before going for the pin 1 2 3!!}
Terri Morasco: That was one of Maxineâs movesâŚ
Alison Valance: And youâre winner⌠DEAN HARPER!
Vasco Dias: I canât say Iâm surprised to be honest.
{Dean gets off of Phillip, closes his eyes as his music plays.}
Terri Morasco: I still think Harper should be on leave.
Vasco Dias: You going to be the person to tell Harper how to deal with his grief?
{Dean walks out of the ring and up the ramp but not with his usual swagger.}
Terri Morasco: âŚNo, I guess not.
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Never Ends
------------------------------------
{As Nighthawk is in the trainer's room at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, getting a pressure bandage put on the gash over his eye, the door to the trainer's room yawns open and Angel Blake stands in front of it before charging into the room and knocking Nighthawk in the stomach with a baseball bat before pulling away and hitting a Genocide kick on a kneeling Nighthawk which again busts the "Wrestling Machine" open.}
-----------------------------------
HANDICAP MATCH By Order of Laura Howlett Dawn Halliwell vs Mimi Simpson, Kai Sachiko and Candy Kane
---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is a three vs. one Handicap Match, and is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 120 pounds.... CANDY KANE!
{As the music starts Candy struts down the ramp before climbing into the ropes posing for the crowd.}
Vasco Dias: I, for one, am looking forward to finally seeing Dawn get a little bit of comeuppance for that big mouth of hers.
Terri Morasco: How can you take any pleasure in this, Vasco? Laura Howlett set up this match not to make Dawn see some humility, but as simple payback for denying the new House of Howlett the Iron Maiden.
Vasco Dias: That's ridiculous, Terri. None of these women fighting Dawn are members of the House of Howlett, keep the conspiracy theories to yourself.
Alison Valance: Next, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 136 pounds... KAI SACHIKO!
{As soon as her music turns on she is rushing the ramp. She will stand on the ring post and point to herself while talking in her native tongue before pounding on her shoulder to show she is ready to go.}
Vasco Dias: I still don't know what to make of Sachiko. She's... kinda creepy.
Terri Morasco: She doesn't blink. Like, ever. She's just uncomfortably intense.
Alison Valance: Last for her team, from Sanford, Florida, weighing in at 120 pounds... MIMI SIMPSON!
{Pump it plays as Mimi comes running down the ramp and into the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Mimi seeming to be a little more reserved than normal in her approach to the ring tonight.
Vasco Dias: I mean, last time she and Dawn fought it didn't exactly end well for her... though Dawn said some nasty things about her career in the process. If I were her, I'd want payback!
Alison Valance: And their opponent...
{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 - weighing in at 125 pounds: The Iron Maiden, DAWN HALLIWELL!!!
Vasco Dias: I think it's pretty low of her to still call herself that.
Terri Morasco: It's her nickname, Vasco, and she won the match last year. I think she's earned the right to keep it.
{Dawn gets up on the ropes to soak in the explosive cheers from the crowd, 100% behind her, before stepping down and glaring over at her three opponents with laser focus. After some discussion, Candy Kane steps into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Looks like this match is on its way!
DING!
{Candy moves forward quickly, looking to try to put Dawn out as quickly as possible. She opens with a flurry of Muay Thai knees that put Dawn quickly on the defensive, but as Candy pushes Dawn back towards her corner the more experienced wrestler grins dangerously. She reverses an incoming blow, slipping around Candy and slamming her with a snap suplex. She maintains control of Candy, pulling her through a series of suplexes and grapples that quickly draw beads of sweat and pain from the blonde. Eventually Dawn loses her grip on Candy after a particularly savage German Suplex, giving Candy just enough room to roll over to her corner to tap Kai Sachiko in.}
Terri Morasco: A strong start for Halliwell, dominating Candy with her superior technical expertise and cruelly painful grapples.
Vasco Dias: It might be good for now, but with three opponents to cycle through, giving everyone else time to rest and recover from Dawn's assaults, this is quickly going to turn into an impossible siege for Dawn to overcome.
{Kai stalks towards Dawn, slightly shorter than the Iron Maiden but notably bulkier. Dawn beckons her to bring it on, and Kai seems to comply, throwing herself at Dawn with a few powerful brawling strikes... but Kai then disengages and hits the ropes, rebounding off of them into a high dropkick that sends Dawn sailing into the ropes on the other end of the ring. Kai presses the advantage, landing fast, high flying blows against the staggered Halliwell to continuously wear her down.}
Terri Morasco: This kind of offense has to be exhausting for Kai to keep up...
Vasco Dias: She can afford it, Terri. She's wearing Dawn down knowing she'll be able to catch her breath at her leisure.
{Kai continues the attack, but gets a little too confident for her own good as she goes for a Springboard Hurricanrana. Dawn ducks and rolls under the attack, causing Kai to land badly and fall to the ground. Dawn capitalizes by leaping into a RENEGADE, following up with a pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
Kai kicks out! Dawn takes a moment to breathe as Kai dashes to her corner, tagging in Mimi Simpson. Mimi hesitates for a moment in the corner as though not quite willing to enter the ring... but after several seconds, and her teammates' urging, she steps through the ropes and squares off against Halliwell, who shakes her head with a look of slight disappointment.}
Vasco Dias: Good. Glad she decided to do what's right and do her job.
Terri Morasco: Lets hope she can live with the consequences...
{Dawn and Mimi square up, the latter looking slightly apologetic as the two women approach one another... but before they can truly go for one another, Amber Cooke appears at ringside, catching the referee's attention. The ref turns away from the competitors inside to argue with Cooke, when out of nowhere...}
Terri Morasco: Charity Crowne!
{Charity leaps into the ring before Dawn realizes she's even there, and nails Halliwell with the DIAMOND CUTTER! She slips out of the ring as quickly as she entered, turning on her heel and making exaggerated 'boo hoo' motions with her hands as she slips into the crowd. Only after all this has happened does the ref turn his attention back to Mimi and Halliwell as Cooke screams at Mimi to go for the pin...
But Mimi seems to refuse, shaking her head and stepping back. Cooke threatens her, causing the referee to eject her from ringside as Mimi backs up and tags Candy back into the match.}
Vasco Dias: What a coward! You had her! You had a chance to make a name for yourself, what's WRONG with you??!
Terri Morasco: She wanted to do it her way.
{Candy, however, seems to have no trouble with the idea of pinning Dawn after such an underhanded move, and goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!!
DAWN WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND CANDY'S NECK, PULLING HER TO THE MAT IN THE LIVING DEAD GIRL!}
Vasco Dias: WHAT??!
Terri Morasco: Mimi's refusal gave Dawn the time she needed to get her senses back! She laid a perfect trap for Candy and now she's paying the price!
{Candy struggles against the pain of the hold, but quickly realizes that she has nowhere to go and no way to escape. With a choked scream of frustration, Candy taps out.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner by submission... DAWN HALLIWELL!
{The crowd roars with approval as Shoot to Thrill plays over the PA, Dawn rolling away and getting out of dodge before Amber and Charity can attack her again. Charity's face is a mask of rage as she watches from the crowd, giving Dawn the perfect target for a pair of birds as the show cuts to commercial.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT Never Stops
------------------------------------
{As Sacrifice comes back from commercial we see Nighthawk and Angel Blake brawling into the arena, security chasing behind them frantically trying to stop things from getting out of control. Rolling into the ring, grabbing a nearby chair, Angel swings wildly only to get the chair taken away from him and then caught with a glancing blow of a superkick that nonetheless sends Angel into the corner. Moving with all the speed he has in him Nighthawk lands one Concussion on Demand after another until Angel is slumped in the corner, clearly out on his feet with a gash on his forehead. Security pours out from the back and storms the ring grabbing Nighthawk and pulling him back as Blake rolls out of the ring. We head to commercial again as the crowd screams to let them fight.}
------------------------------------
SEGMENT And the new StrongStyle Champion is?
------------------------------------
{Thereâs a low buzz over the crowd as the opening chimes of Avenged Sevenfolds âNightmareâ begin to play through the arena as the lights dim. The crowd turn to the stage, awaiting the StrongStyle Champion, but he doesnât emerge.}
âNIGHTMAAAARRRREEEE!!!â
{The song kicks into gear, but still Warren Kane doesnât emerge. The crowd begin to murmur amongst themselves as something seems to be up.}
Vasco Dias: Whatâs going on? Warren Kane is scheduled to appear.
Terri Morasco: Honestly, Vasco, Iâm sure we can cut the members of The Pack some slack as theyâve just lost a family member.
Vasco Dias: I do understand that Terri, and I respect it too, may Maxine Rest in PeaceâŚ.but this is The Pack Terri!
{Suddenly a gasp rings through the crowd, as Warren Kane emerges through the curtain, the music having stopped and lights returned to normal. Warren doesnât acknowledge the crowd, or anyone, as he storms to the ring. The StrongStyle Championship around his waist. He rolls under the ropes and immediately asks for the microphone. He turns to face the hard cam, fire in his eyes, but slowly, that fire seems to die as he lowers his head.}
Terri Morasco: I donât know if I can watch this.
Vasco Dias: Warren is clearly upset...but he has a job to do.
{Slowly Warren manages to compose himself, and takes a few deep breaths before raising the microphone.}
Warren Kane: SoâŚ. So Iâm supposed to come out here, and kind of talk about how proud I am to be the StrongStyle champion. How I went through one of the most gruelling matches IWF has had. Taking on five of the top competitors in IWF right now, legends, heroes, hall of famers in the makingâŚ..but I honestly donât feel like doing that right nowâŚ.
{Thereâs a slight ripple of sadness through the crowd. A touch of disappointment for those who came to see the Demon Prince.}
Warren Kane: ...tonight, we donât honour ourselves. We donât bath in our own pride, no⌠Tonight? We honour Maxine Valentine. The Beautiful Destruction, the most loyal woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A motherâŚ
{Warren stumbles on his words a little, the mention of the new born baby making him tear up a little, however he quickly turns to anger as he raises the microphone again.}
Warren Kane: But above all else!? Maxine Valentine was a CHAMPION! She fought for her family, she defended her gold, she fought for a purpose, and she never gave up. Even until her dying moments, her thoughts were on fighting for her family...so thatâs what weâre going to do. Tonight, weâre going to honour Maxine Valentine, in the way I hope she would have wanted. By fighting, as a champion, so Billie Parris? Get youâre ass down hereâŚ
{Warren unclips the StrongStyle Championship and drapes it along the mat.}
Warren Kane: ...and try and take this championship from me, so I can show you who and what Maxine Valentine was, and what she represented!
{Tears are falling down Warrenâs angry face as he waits. Heâs clearly feeling several emotions at the same time right now, anger, grief, guilt, remorse...but he can only think of one way to deal with them.}
Vasco Dias: Weâre getting a StrongStyle championship match, right here, and right now!
Terri Morasco: That, in my opinion, is a very nice way to honour Maxineâs memory. She was a fantastic champion.
-----------------------------------
IWF STRONGSTYLE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Warren Kane vs Billie Parris
---------------------------------
{âEverything is Awesomeâ by Tegan & Sara, and the The Lonely Island begins to play bright lights flash wildly as the crowd pop for the relatively new superstar. Inside the ring, Warren glares towards the ramp, his shoulders rising and falling as he takes deep, measured breathes.}
Vasco Dias: I tell you what, despite getting a free StrongStyle championship shot? I wouldnât want to be Billie Parris right now.
Terri Morasco: Cut the guy some slack Vasco, he made quite the impression against Pax Stormcrow.
Vasco Dias: Yeah, but heâs not fighting Pax Stormcrow this weekâŚ.heâs going up against the Demon Prince.
Terri Morasco: What do you? âŚ.oh.
{Back inside the ring, while the camera was focused on Billie making his entrance, Warren has retreated to the corner, hunched down, his eyes glowing yellow, and his face and torso once again sporting the demonic paint. The crowd seem a little stunned about the transformation, but neither Billie, nor âWarrenâ seem to care.}
Terri Morasco: Oh boy.
Vasco Dias: Grief is a dangerous thing TerriâŚ
{The referee quickly gets between Warren and the entering Billie Parris, before scooping up the StrongStyle championship. He shows it to Parris, before attempting to show it to Warren, but The Demon Prince never takes his eyes off of Billie Parris. The ref then holds the belt up in the air, before handing it to the timekeeper.}
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is now scheduled for one fall, under StrongStyle rules, and is for the IWF StrongStyle Championship!
Vasco Dias: Oh boy, this is going to be hot.
Terri Morasco: Wait, what?
Vasco Dias: I mean like, the intensity of the match.
{Suddenly The Demon Prince smirks from ear to ear, as he rises from the corner, pulling himself up with the top ropes. He takes a step forward and throws his arms into the air, the lights flash wildly, as slowly the Steel Cage begins to descend from the ceiling, as the Demon turns his eyes to stare at Billie Parris.}
Terri Morasco: Oh noâŚ
Vasco Dias: Warren has always been a sucker for tradition.
Terri Morasco: Somebody call an ambulance now.
{The cage fits into place and the referee, begrudgingly accepts what is going down. A look with Warren as he nods back, confirming the rules of the match. Billie looks nervous, but he also looks pissed off. He steps forwards, showing Warren that he isnât afraid of him.}
Billie Parris: Just another example, of The Pack throwing their weight around. Fuck the Pac-
{Before Billie can finish The Demon Prince launches out of the corner, absolutely launches and almost takes Parrisâ head off with a huge discuss lariat from hell that just floors the poor guy. Warren drops to one knee there was so much power in it, and he looks up towards the hard cam, grinning and mouths âFor Maxâ as he breathes heavily.}
Vasco Dias: Oh my word, what a Riastad!
Terri Morasco: I mean, he said he wanted to honor Maxine, he wasnât lying.
{Warren grabs Billie by the hair and drags him to his feet, but Parris snaps into action, and takes Kane down with an armbar takedown. Billie Parris wrenches on the hold with all that heâs got, but after a few moments The Demon simply stops struggling. Rising to a knee slowly, Warren hooks his free arm around the one in the hold and with a primordial roar, he lifts Billie Parris into the air roaring the entire time as he charges the cage and slams Billie right into the steel. Of course Parris lets go of the hold and drops into a slump between the ropes and the steel.}
Vasco Dias: What!? I mean, talk about strongâŚ...styleâŚ..hehe
Terri Morasco: You are literally the worst.
{Back inside the ring, The Demon Prince books it to the other side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes and charging back with a huge knee to the face of Parris, smashing his head into the steel once more. Now Billie falls flat on his back, and the referee begins his ten count.}
Terri Morasco: This could be it right here if Billie Parris doesnât answer the refereeâs count.
{As the referee begins to count, it almost seems like Warren is getting bored. He shoves the referee out of the way, who in the background shouts out a warning to Warren about being disqualified. Warren drags Billie from his spot into the ring and back to his feet. Billie wobbles on his feet, and seems on dream street, as Warren hits the ropes once more, but Parris reacts and he HITS WARREN WITH THE SAMOAN SPINEBUSTER!}
Terri Morasco: Woah!
Vasco Dias: Oh my! Thereâs life in Billie Parris yet!
{The crowd pop, but Warren rolls backwards and is immediately on his feet, roaring with defiance once more. Billie Parrisâ eyes go wide as he realises what a situation heâs in. He scrambles backwards to the ropes away from The Demon Prince as he approaches, and the referee gets between them. Warren almost completely decks the referee, but something stops him at the last minute.}
Vasco Dias: A moment of hesitation!?
Terri Morasco: Maybe Warren really is in there?
Vasco Dias: I donât think thatâs going to help Billie after his words this week.
{Parris takes his moment, lifting himself up with the ropes, he slingshots himself as Warren passes the referee going for a slingshot hurricarana, but the Demon Prince catches him! He turns towards the turnbuckle and lifts up Billie going for the Baal Bomb! BUT BILLIE LANDS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!}
Vasco Dias: WHAT!?!?!
{Parris uses the cage itself for support as he stands on the top turnbuckle. The Demon glares at him, and growls, which causes Parris to turn and begin climbing the cage itself. Warren cocks his head for a moment, before grinning. He heads to the side panel and begins to climb too.}
Terri Morasco: Oh no Vasco...I donât like where this is going.
Vasco Dias: This is not good.
{As Billie gets to the top, he holds onto the support and turns to look for Warren, but Warren is already at the top too, standing mere feet away from him. Parris doesnât know what to do, or where to go as Warren approaches without even holding on. Parris reaches out a kick and nearly falls as he does, it causes the Demon to laugh. Parris goes for another kick, but Kane catches his foot! He spins Billie around and he almost completely falls off the cage to the outside, but Warren catches him with his arms around his neck! Billie Parris is literally dangling from the cage in a sleeper hold! His legs and arms flail around wildly.}
Terri Morasco: Dear god Warren, NO!
Vasco Dias: This is horrible, someone has to stop this!
{The crowd are absolutely stunned as the Demon glares at them from the top of the cage, enjoying the struggles of Billie Parris, but againâŚ.something makes him stop. With an annoyed âhuffâ he pulls Billie back to the top of the cage. Out of desperation, Parris headbutts Warren, causing him to stagger back a foot or two. Parris rubs his neck, clearly pissed at what The Demon Prince just did, or tried to do.}
Terri Morasco: Thatâs it Billie! Fight back!
Vasco Dias: No, get the hell out of there, heâs going to kill you!
{Billie is full of pride, and anger at the moment and he believes he has the upper hand. He goes for a haymaker, but Kane blocks it and hits him with a huge european uppercut that stuns the livelong student of the game. The blow causes Parris to stagger and he turns to hold onto the support for help. In that moment The Demon Prince acts. He rushes and hooks Billie Parris from behind and lifts him up into a crucifix position, facing the hard cam. He roars with primordial anger as he fucking LAUNCHES BILLIE PARRIS OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE WITH A VERSION OF MAXINEâS SACRIFICE -CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!}
Vasco Dias: HOLY SHIT!
Terri Morasco: Sweet merciful Angel Blake!
{Warren remains atop the cage, he takes a seat in the corner, proud of his work, almost smug as the referee rushes to check on poor Billie Parris. Warren sits, almost as if on a throne as he waits for the referee to count, but the referee doesnât even bother. Parris is out, and in need of medical assistance. He calls for the bell, and immediately EMTâs rush to the ring. Warrenâs eyes glow that sinister yellow as he smirks, taking his time to climb down as âNightmareâ begins to play. He absorbs the reaction from the crowd, the stunned silence, the âholy shitsâ, the boos, the sheer awe. As the referee hands him his title, he snatches it off of him and turns to face the hard cam, through his angry snarl he can be seen to mouth âfor Maxâ before he strolls past Billie Parris undergoing medical treatment and heads up the ramp without any pomp or circumstance.}
Vasco Dias: I...I just...I mean, Warren retains the StrongStyle championship here, but at what cost?
Terri Morasco: Vasco, that was on par with some of the things that the likes of Angel Blake and Spike Kane have done, and Iâm worried about where Warren goes from here.
Vasco Dias: I echo that statement Terri, but right now Iâm worried about the poor kid in the ring.
Terri Morasco: Youâre right, we hope Billie Parris is okay, god please be okayâŚ

SEGMENT Never Stops
------------------------------------ { Security is escorting Angel and Nighthawk through the backstage area. Both men are bleeding and medical staff is trying to dress the wounds. Suddenly Angel rips free and charges Nighthawk, Blake leaps over security and crashes into Nighthawk. The two men start brawling on the floor but security moves in tries to pull them apart. Security pulls them up and away from each other but Nighthawk breaks loose and cracks Blake with a European uppercut! Angel is rocked back into the cards and then leaps forward with a Genocide Kick! Nighthawk is staggered and then the two men plow into each other again. Nighthawk is landing vicious elbows as Angel is throwing closed fists. The security moves in again and tries to pull them apart. Jess Fowler shows up in the background with a group of police and sends them in. Angel and Nighthawk are still going at it but the cops come in help restrain them. Angel gets cuffed hard, his arms behind his back. With Angel restrained Nighthawk falls back and puts his arms behind him. }
Jess Fowler: You know what!? I've got an idea! Next week, Nighthawk gets to pick an opponent for Angel Blake! And the week after that! Angel picks an opponent for Nighthawk! And if either of you get involved then you're both fired! That should keep you two away from each other...
{ Angel shoots Nighthawk a terrible grin as Nighthawk just watches the Leviathan coldly. }

SEGMENT Main Event of Night of the Immortals
------------------------------------
{The camera goes to the ring as the opening trumpets to Confident by Demi Lovato begin to play as the lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the bass kicks in. Vivienne herself does not appear until the lyrics begin in Earnest, walking on from backstage. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage holding the world title on her shoulder, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk. She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before Vivienne is handed a microphone.}
Vasco Dias: What is Vivienne Rodgers doing out here?
Terri Morasco: Sheâs the world champion. Sheâs allowed to make a statement.
Vasco Dias: But why? What does she have to say?
{Vivienne smiles, takes a deep breath.}
Vivienne Rodgers: Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a wonderful night.
{the crowd cheers.}
Vivienne Rodgers: I have said it online but I wanted to come out here and say it as well. Watching The Iron Maiden from backstage was incredible. All the women involved should take pride in what they did at the Pay Per View. It was a fantastic match, donât you all think so?
Terri Morasco: It was an amazing match.
Vasco Dias: It was something to see despite the stipulation changing at the last minute.
Terri Morasco: Give it a rest, Vasco.
{The crowd lets everyone know how cool they thought the match was.}
Vivienne Rodgers: And Eternity won. Eternity is who I am going to be facing at Night of the Immortals. Last year I defended against Helena for the Open Weight and I am honored to get to be on the show again.
Vasco Dias: I wouldnât be this excited to face Eternity. Iâd be making a will. Maybe cashing in my 401K.
Terri Morasco: Vivienne has faced worse odds before and come out okay.
{Viv takes a beat.}
Vivienne Rodgers: I am even more honored that I get to share the ring with a Hall of Famer like Eternity at the biggest night of the year. I was told briefly before coming out that she and I will be main eventing Night of the immortals.
Terri Morasco: Wow!!
Vasco Dias: What??
{The crowd pops}
Vivienne Rodgers: Biggest night of the whole year. The biggest match of the night. Thatâs fantastic, donât you think? I wanted to invite Eternity out here in person to offer my personal congratulations.
Vasco Dias: Does Vivienne Rodgers have a death wish?
Terri Morasco: It might not be that badâŚ
Vivienne Rodgers: I know sheâs not one for public appearanceâ
{The lights go out, the arena remains in darkness for a few moments before you hear a soft giggle. When they come back, the giggles die and Eternity is standing right in front of Vivienne. Vivienne takes a step back.}
Terri Morasco: Yikes!
Vivienne Rodgers: uh⌠Hi Eternity. I just wanted to offer my personal congratulations on the victory in the Iron Maiden.
Vasco Dias: Oh this is not going to end well.
{Vivienne offers her hand out. Eternity keeps staring at her, cocking her head slightly to the side as she does so..}
Terri Morasco: Braver then me.
Vivienne Rodgers: âŚI look forward to facing you at night of the immortals-
{Eternity grabs Vivienneâs hand pulling her close, fixing her with a firm deathly stare, looking right into Vivienneâs quivering lively eyes before Vivienne pulls her hand free, backing up a few steps. The camera pans between Vivienneâs panic and Eternityâs calm before Sacrifice slowly fades, as all things do.}
