SINGLES MATCHHeir to the Throne
w/ Special Guest Commentator: Steve Awesome
Mr Happy vs Lord Dominicus ---------------------------------
{ 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. }Terri Morasco: This next match is interesting. Mr. Happy takes on Lord Dominicus. And if you are following this jobber civil war thatâs been going on, Lord Dominicus is bad news.
Vasco Dias: He wants to destroy the universe, Terri. Heâs traveled the world collecting dark Magicâs and now heâs back for the final piece of his evil plan. The Extreme Championship. But only one man can stop him and save us all, Steve Awesome.
Terri Morasco: Doesnât that seem a bit over the top and perhaps a bit of a rip off?
Vasco Dias: Hey! We sat through Supernatural for a year and a half and no one said a word. Weâre doing superheroes now.
Terri Morasco: Okay fine. If Steve Awesome is our only hope, whatâs Mr. Happy doing?
Vasco Dias: Being a good distraction. If not weâre all doomed, Terri.
{ A red glow over takes 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: My godâŚ.he looks so intense and intimidating and evil Terri.
Terri Morasco: Mr. Happy actually looks a little frightened.
Vasco Dias: I would be too if I had to look such evil in the face like that.
{Happy and LD lock up in the ring and LD immediately twists Happy into a hammerlock and the clown cries out in pain. Lord Dominicus glares into the camera.}Lord Dominicus: I will recreate your puny world in my image!
{Dominicus grabs Happy and hoists him up and down with a brutal back drop driver that smashes Happys head into the mat. Happyâs eyes cross from the pain but he doesn't have much time to nurse his wounds because Lord Dominicus grabs him by the hair and drags him up to his feet.}Lord Dominicus: I will burn all that you know to the ground and in its ashes I will bring upon us a new world that is all fair and just.
{Dominicus grabs Happy by the throat and choke tosses him across the ring. LD shows off his power by getting Happy decently high in the air. Happy lands on the mat and shakes like he just went through a car crash.}Lord Dominicus: Think about it. Your resources are finite. With or without me involved your would simply burn this planet to ashes anyway merely by overusing. With one snap, I will eliminate half the jobber population. No one gets to choose or decide by class or status. Itâs all completely randomâ it's the only truly fair way to decide.
{Happy had pulled himself to the corner of the ring and pulled himself up to his feet. He walks over and wraps his hands around Happys throat and starts to viciously choke him.}Lord Dominicus: But you, I will take great pleasure in destroying by my own hand.
Happy: Ack AckâŚ.what if...AckâŚ..when you snapâŚ.ACKKKKâŚ.you randomly die too?.....Ackkk
Lord Dominicus: Wait what?
{Dominicus lets go of his choke and stops to ponder this point.}Lord Dominicus: Oh shit...what if I do die? I didn't think of thatâŚ.
{ LD takes a few steps away and turns his back to Happy as he thinks out loud to himself. Just then while Dominicus was distracted with his own thoughts Happy explodes out of the corner with a huge bulldog that smashes LDâs face into the mat. Happy follows up with an elbow drop and then a senton. Happy comes down on Dominicus with his full weight and Happy starts to get fired up.}Vasco Dias: Oh my god heâs doing it?
Terri Morasco: Happy is starting to make an actual comeback.
{Happy looks around and he sees the crowd getting behind him. Happy starts to nod his head and then he bends down and starts to pump up his shoes. He taunts the crowd and they cheer back.}Vasco Dias: Happy is rallying back! Oh he got Dominicus with a shoulder block. He got him with another. He went behind, lifts up Dominicus, OH SPIN OUT POWERBOMB!
Terri Morasco: Wait a minuteâŚ.
{Happy walks up to the prone head of Dominicus and waves his hand back and forth in his face as the crowd yells âyou cant see meâ}Terri Morasco: Happy runs to the ropes, he hops over Dominicus, he runs off the other ropes, Wait Dominicus got up? He pulled out a sword!?
Vasco Dias: Uh ohâŚ.
Lord Dominicus: Ive had enough of this!
{Everyone gasps as Dominicus swings his sword right for the throat of Happy! Happy stands there without a head!}Vasco Dias: Oh my god he cut his head off!!
Terri Morasco: What the?
{ His arms reach up and pat at the empty space where his head was and then shoves his actual head back out of his shirt hole and takes a sigh of relief. Dominicus rears the sword back again and Happy takes off running.}Happy: Yipe yipe yipe yipe
Vasco Dias: Well so much for the distraction.
Terri Morasco: Well as Happy runs off like a chicken that almost had its head cut off, Dominicus is grabbing a microphone.
Lord Dominicus: Nothing and no one will stand in my way of completing my destiny. Steve Awesome! Bring me the Extreme Title and perhaps I will spare your death when I create my new world.
{The crowd look to the stage and a few people actually start to chant for Steve! SuddenlyâŚ.}REGRETS IVE GOT MINE!!!!
{Steve Awesome steps onto the stage with the Extreme Championship hanging over his shoulder. He stands on the stage as his music dies down.}
Steve Awesome: So Lord DominicusâŚ..I heard you were looking for this. That deal about sparing my life still a thing?
Lord Dominicus: Yes. I will spare your insolent if you bring me that belt.
Steve Awesome: Good. Because this whole thing is stupid and I just want to be done with it, I mean why should I care? Iâm not a jobber. Ha ha!
{Steve laughs and starts to head down to ring already extending his arm as if he were handing LD the belt as the crowd boos.}Terri Morasco: That no good jerk.
Vasco Dias: This canât be.
{Then Steve stops and pulls the title back before he gets in the ring.}Steve Awesome: ActuallyâŚ.you know what? On second thought, I donât think im going to give you this title. As a matter of fact, Im going to get in that ring and im going to kick your overly buff looking, freaky s and m ass all over this ring and make sure you never even lay one finger on this belt.
{Steve Awesome climbs into the ring as a bit more of the crowd start to cheer for him a bit in this particular moment.}Lord Dominicus: Muah ha ha ha haâŚ...you dare challenge the ultimate evil might of Lord Dominicus? Why would you allow yourself to be brought down by such immense pain and suffering?
Steve Awesome: Because...well...I guess whipping your ass is the right thing to do for the sake of the world. Or the jobbers. Or whoeverâŚ.I wasnt really listening. And maybe even pathetic drunks like me can still do the right thing every once in awhile.
Vasco Dias: *sniff* WowâŚ
Terri Morasco: He left his kid and wife and turned his back on everyone and suddenly now he has a change of heart with the jobber civil war?
Vasco Dias: Oh come on Terri. He has to start somewhere doesn't he?
Terri Morasco: I mean I guess soâŚ.
Vasco Dias: Give him a chance.
{Lord Dominicus chuckles to himself in an ominous tone.}Lord Dominicus: How suddenly very noble of you, Steve. But my power is something you could never comprehend. So if you truly intend to face me and stop me I must ask, you and what army?
{Steve smirks.}
Steve Awesome: Hopefully this one.
{Suddenly the entrance ramp fills up with the OG Jobbers; Gibberg, Solomhan Khan, Gable Arcane, Bad Luck Chuck, Domi-Natrix, Trippy Psychic Chick. The New Enhancements also fill the stage. Wolf Folder, Billie Parrish, Candy Kane, Phiilip Deforest and all the rest. They were all flanked by a couple dozen extra jobbers who nobody had seen but were also here to fight the war.}Lord Dominicus: So its war you want?
{Dominicus makes a hand signal and suddenly a horde of masked minions take there stand behind Lord Dominicus. Steve and the jobbers look on in shock as there numbers somehow manage to dwarf thereâs.}Terri Morasco: My god, these minions are everywhere.
Vasco Dias: They outnumber Steve and the jobbers damn near three to one.
Lord Dominicus: Then its a war you will receive.
{Lord Dominicus nails Steve in the face with a hard forearm and he staggers back and the Extreme Title slips off his shoulder and slid out onto the floor. The minions run and meet all the jobbers and enhancements and they all start to throw down all around the ring and up the ramp and on the stage!}Terri Morasco: THIS PLACE HAS ERUPTED IN CHAOS VASCO! THE ARENA IS PACKED! I CANT EVEN HEAR OR SEE WHATS GOING ON, LET ALONE CALL THE ACTION!!
Vasco Dias: JUST KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT EXTREME TITLE! DOMINICUS CANT GET HIS HANDS ON IT!
{Steve and Lord Dominicus scramble for advantage in the ring. Steve hits LD with a kick to the middle and a back elbow that stuns the evil lord, but not long enough as LD grabs a handful of Steveâs hair and pulls him back into a short arm clothesline to the back of the head. Steve goes down to the mat but Steve grabs the ankle of Dominicus before he could get to far. Dominicus tries to kick Steve off but Steve manages to take Domincus down and lock him in a kneebar. Or as Steve calls it the Min-knee Bar.}Terri Morasco: We moved to a spot a little bit safer then in the middle of a warzone. Steve has that knee bar locked in and Dominicus is screaming in pain.
Vasco Dias: Hes not even fighting out, heâs crawling toward that title.
Terri Morasco: What happens if he gets it?
Vasco Dias: Something terrible.
{Dominicus screams in pain but digs his nails into the mat to drag himself to the outside where the belt is laying amidst the battling warriors. Dominicus crawls under the rope and raches for the rope, letting his upper body hang off the apron, causing massive amounts of torq on the leg in the knee bar. Dominicus yells out in pain but hes fingertips away from the belt when suddenly Billie Parrish and Gable Arcane appear out of nowhere, one kicks the belt away and out of LDâs reach and the other kicks the evil lord right in the head.}Gable Arcane: I wonder if he got a kick out of that?
Billie Parrish: Are you guys going to do one liners all night?
Gable Arcane: duhâŚ.this is a marvel spoof.
{Suddenly a couple minions come in and jump on Gable and Billie while two other faceless LD minions scoop up the Extreme Title and try to run off with it. But they are stopped when Wolf Folder and Solomhan Khan catch them as they turned around the ring post with two clotheslines.}Solomhan Khan: Looks like we really hung those guys out to dry. Get it? Because the clotheslines?
Wolf Folder: That was just terrible. No conspiracy there.
{Before Wolf could pick up the Extreme Championship he was already assaulted by a couple more faceless minions and both he and Solomhan were beat up. The minions pick up the belt. Meanwhile in the ring Steve and Lord Dominicus faceoff after a series of counters.}Lord Dominicus: Foolish mortal. You are only making this hard for yourself.
Steve Awesome: Really? You arenât hard right now too?
Lord Dominicus: You insolent jackass. Get him!
{Dominicus makes the command and about four minions rush Steve. Steve sidesteps one and pulls down the top rope as the next two dive at Steve but they miss and fly out and collide with the group of minions outside with the Extreme title and it flies and lands on the far side of the ring on the outside. Steve super kicks the fourth minion and runs to intercept Dominicus before he can grab the championship that will complete his prophecy. Steve catches up before LD can get there and they start fighting again.}Vasco Dias: Someone has to get that belt. Its just sitting there.
Terri Morasco: SeriouslyâŚ.what will happen if he gets the belt?
Vasco Dias: Im telling you, you dont want to know Terri.
{Bad Luck Chuck walks up and notices the belt just sitting there unattended. He looks around and sees everyone else preoccupied with there own fights and he smiles and picks it up.
Bad Luck Chuck: Finally, I think my luck is about to change!
{Just then he looks up and realizes hes completely surrounded by like ten angry minions. But before they can pummel him, hes smashed by an anvil, and all the minions shrug and grab the belt, but when they turn around they find Candy Kane just standing there looking mischievous.)Candy Kane: Hand over the belt, jerks.
{They shake there heads and go to fight her but she shakes her head.}Candy Kane: I wouldnt do thatâŚ.I have a Gibberg.
{Suddenly Gibberg comes out of nowhere and goes on a murder spree for about a minute, gets super gassed but makes his way through the rest of his vicious attack but very sloppy looking. Candy grabs the title as Gibberg hunches over clutching his side.}Candy Kane: *sigh* Good job Gibberg.
Gibberg: Blargghhhhh Now thats how you make an entrance.
{Just then Lord Dominicus shows up and punches Gibberg and he falls to the ground in shock of the power. Lord Dominicus walks toward them both with an evil glare.}Lord Dominicus: Now give me what is mine, GIRL.
{Lord Dominicus corners Candy as she clutches the Extreme Championship. But she stops and points behind him. He turns and finds Steve Awesome who has jumped from the turnbuckle holding a steel chair and kicks Dominicus in the face with a chair in front of it from the outside and Dominicus falls to the floor motionless.}Steve Awesome: Get the belt!
{Candy scoops it up, and she goes to run but sees two minions running after her so she tosses it and Phillip Deforest catches it. He jukes around one minions but three more come after him, he tosses the belt and Ducky Tomlinson goes for the catch but he gets sacked before he makes the catch. A minion grabs it but he gets speared out of nowhere by Domi-Natrix, and the minion lets go of the belt and Yusumi catches it and tosses it over to Wolf Folder before the minions got to her. Steve nails Lord Dominicus with another hard chair shot to the head and LD drops to the floor completely out and Steve calls out.}Steve Awesome: Iâm open!
{Wolf lets off as perfect a spiral as you could get with the extreme title and Steve goes to make the catch but just before he could, Lord Dominicus grabs his ankle and Steve falls to the ground and the belt falls nearby and right into the hands of Lord Dominicus, who laughs maniacally as he wipes blood from his nose.}Lord Dominicus: You should have went for the balls.
Steve Awesome: huh!?
{And then Dominicus raises his hand and he snaps his fingers! The lights flicker and he and his minions disappear with the championship. Nobody says anything for a few beats.}Steve Awesome: What happened? Is everyone okay?
Candy Kane: I think were okay. Right Phillip? Phillip?
{Suddenly Phillip takes a massive bump, like he just got flipped inside out by a lariat and just lays on the ground twitching.}Vasco Dias: Oh noâŚ.its happening.
Terri Morasco: Whats wrong with him?
Vasco Dias: Dominicus snapped.
{Candy goes to try and help Phillip, but she looks up and spots a bunch of other jobbers just taking huge bumps and collapsing to the floor. Gable Arcane goes down. Ducky Tomlinson. Kai Sachiko. Solomhan Khan. Domi-Natrix. Suddenly Gibberg stumbles into Steveâs arms and starts to cry.}Gibberg: I dont...I dont want to go Mr. Awesome.
{But Gibberg slips out of Steveâs arms and just drills himself into the mat like he just got a belly to belly suplex. A bunch of the no name jobbers start to drop as well. Steve Awesome looks on in utter horror as he looks back at Wolf and Candy and the Psychic Trippy Chick.}Steve Awesome: What the hell happened!?
Candy Kane: âŚ..I think we lostâŚ.

Elijah Lassiter vs Dean Harper ---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following Heir To The Throne contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!! Introducing firstâŚ
{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.}

SEGMENTInterview with Emma Danielson: One Last Run?------------------------------------
{We go to a pre-recorded interview, Emma Danielson sitting across from IWF interviewer extraordinaire Damien Sparks. Damien nods to the camera, professional as always as he launches into the interview itself.}Damien Sparks: Thank you so much for joining us tonight, ladies and gentlemen. My guest at this time, former NCW Starlets Champion and former IWF Head Trainer, Emma Danielson. Emma, your recent return to the ring has sparked many questions. Why would you pick now to return to action?
Emma Danielson: Well, honestly I didn't have a lot of choices in front of me. After I got let go as a trainer for my comments regarding medical, I considered just...going home. Trying to find a day job. I really have to lay the decision to keep going at the feet of Maxine Valentine.
Damien Sparks: Maxine Valentine? But she's deceased.
Emma Danielson: I know. And I feel wrong even mentioning her name. But...what happened to her reminded me that time is short. Life is precious. I can't live my life on what might have been, and walking away without taking a true chance would be exactly that.
{Damien shuffles his notes, wincing slightly as he looks up at Emma.}Damien Sparks: I know this next subject might be a sore one for you...Kimberly Jackson had some very harsh words for you last week. What do you have to say to her accusations?
{Emma's nostrils flare for a moment, and she bites her lip before proceeding.}Emma Danielson: Kimberly Jackson...I don't think I've ever been quite as hurt by someone as by what she said to me. And the worst part? She was right.
{Damien seems taken aback by the response, but Emma pushes on, trying to force the tears back from her eyes.}Emma Danielson: I stepped in the ring with her, and she broke me to pieces. But I refuse...I REFUSE to let that be my legacy. I refuse to let her words be the last ones to define me. I'm not just going to walk away because some entitled pissant decided to mock me for every mile of road I had to walk. I'm glad she never had to deal with what I did. I'm glad she can benefit from the training that she has. I wish I'd had those tools from the start instead of having to find them piece by piece, bit by bit over two decades.
{She balls her fists, looking down at the floor, shoulders heaving with barely-restrained rage.}Emma Danielson: So I hope she's listening. I hope she can hear me. I'm going to train and fight and work as hard as I goddamned can. I'm going to prove that one moment of triumph and so many moments of heartbreak in my career isn't all that defines me. I've trained champions. I know what it takes to be one. And I will be one again, I swear to Christ. And the next time Kimberly Jackson steps in the ring with me, I'm going to take all that talk about being "not good enough", and I'm going to break her fucking teeth with it.
{Emma looks up into the camera, glaring ice through the lens.}Emma Danielson: Train, train as hard as you can, Kim. Because I'm not done with you. Not by a long shot. And when you fail, when you come up short, I hope you take a long, hard look at yourself and ask if you've really got what it fucking takes.
{Damien lets Emma simmer for a moment before reaching out slowly, setting down the cards.}Damien Sparks: Emma...not to change the subject too abruptly, but...with Eternity as Women's World Champion, what do you think that means for the future of IWF's women?
{Emma forces herself to calm down, breathing slowly, and looks back over at Damien, putting her hands up.}Emma Danielson: I...I don't know. After watching the Pack, what they've done to people like Shea O'Hara, what people like the Best Friends Club did to Astrid Hall...
{She pauses again, anger flaring, and looks back at Damien.}Emma Danielson: All I can tell you is that Eternity and I have unfinished business. And I intend to address that sooner rather than later. I got a six-month contract from Verona, because I'm too much of a public liability. I have to earn my keep here every damned week. If I put her down, I prove that I deserve to be here...I
do deserve to be here...
{She pauses, shaking her head.}Emma Danielson: I'm sorry, Damien. I...I need a minute. This is all...this is fucked.
{Emma stands up, walking away, and Damien stares after her for a long moment, rubbing the bridge of his nose as we fade out.}-----------------------------------
IWF OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Vivienne Rodgers vs Rowan MacDonnough (c) --------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for One Fall for the OPEN WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
{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 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 settles into her corner.}Alison Valance: From Madison, Wisconsin weighing in on 140 poundsâŚ. VIVIENNE RODGERS!
Terri Morasco: Vivienne has spent most of the last two years going after The Pack. Here is her first chance at taking on one of their numbers since the faction was disbanded by Roberto Verona.
Vasco Dias: With the roll Rowan has been on I personally would not be excited to face her in the ring.
{Lights out. The thrumming opening of âBig Bad Wolfâ by In This Moment pulse through the arena, matched by a few flashing sparks of dark red light throughout the building.}"Even in these chains, you can't stop me..." {Red lights shine down and around the entranceway, still accompanied by sporadic flashing throughout the arena, illuminating the sihlouette of Rowan MacDonnough standing at the top of the ramp, a pair of chains hanging from her wrists. She breathes heavily, shoulders heaving as her head hangs down. As the opening continues, red smoke floods down the ramp as Rowan occasionally twitches spasmodically in rhythm with the music...}"EVEN IN THESE CHAINS YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" {As the song roars to life, Rowan's head snaps upwards, glaring around at the audience as her golden eyes glint in the smoke and the red light. The stage and ramp are lit by swirling red light, but everything else remains dark. She lopes forward, unconsciously rolling her wrists as her eyes bore a hole in the air before her. The smoke seems to follow her down the ramp as she walks. She drops the chains as she reaches ringside, climbing up the ropes and perching over the ring on the top corner, standing slowly as she continues to twitch and spasm in time with the music.}"Ive been everywhere that you've been - now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win!" {She leaps into the ring, landing with a roll in the center of the ring and pulling into a feral crouch. She stands, raising her arms as though conducting a savage chorus, posing one last time...}"I'm already under your skin, cause I'm the Big Bad Wolf, now LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"{She slowly, reluctantly backs towards a corner, eyes constantly moving as she settles in to wait for the bell.}Alison Valance: From Kilkenny, Ireland weighing 145 pounds, hall of famer and your OPEN WEIGHT CHAMPIONâŚROWAN MACDONNOUGH!
Terri Morasco: Rowan had some pretty serious thoughts about facing Vivienne this week.
Vasco Dias: Rowan is a hall of famer and a champion. You might not like her methods, but she gets results. She has nowhere to hide.
Terri Morasco: Results? Is that what you call her reign of terror?
Vasco Dias: Yes.
{Viv is standing waiting while Rowan paces like a wild animal in a cage. As soon as the bell rings Rowan is across the ring with a low kick to the knees followed by an European uppercut. Rowan barely gives Viv a moment to recover before chaining another upper cut again and again before Viv falls into her corner and the ref separates them.}Terri Morasco: Rowan wasting no time here.
Vasco Dias: Rowan promised vengeance. The devil always gets her due.
{The ref makes Rowan stand back while Vivi gets back to her feet. As soon as Viv is out of the corner, Rowan goes for a knee lift to the stomach followed by a running knee lift to the head dropping Viv to the mat.}Terri Morasco: Rowan is certainly focusing on Rodgerâs head.
Vasco Dias: Itâs a good spot to aim for.
{Hurricanrana, followed by mounted punches causing Viv to hit the mat again. Rowan backs off and eyes gleaming going for Repeated Muay Thai knees to the head.}Terri Morasco: Viv is barely getting a moment to collect her thoughts here.

KICK OUT}Terri Morasco: She kicked out!
Vasco Dias: Personally, I might have just let things go at this point. Is it really worth the pain?
{Rowan takes a few steps back as Viv struggles to her feet, setting up for a Dance The Spiral, hits the mat hard. Rowan runs forward looking to spinning back elbow but Viv manges to pop up at the last second, catching her by the throat and choke-slams her into the mat.}
Terri Morasco: Viv might have a come back here!
Vasco Dias: I wouldnât hold my breath.
{Rowan moves to back away, but Viv catches her pulling her into a Swinging Backbreaker. Viv goes for the pin.

Vasco Dias: She has nothing holder her back anymore.

{Rowan grabs Viv by the shoulder, spinning her around and hitting Viv with a Defiler, knocking Viv to the mat.}Terri Morasco: This could be it.
Vasco Dias: It was decided from the moment Rowan entered the ring.
{Rowan goes and climbs the ropes before hitting a LIFEâS FINALE/} Vasco Dias: Rowan is ending this.
{ Rowan drags Vivâs body from the ropes and pins Vivâs prone form.

Vasco Dias: Rowan promised she would get her revenge.
Terri Morasco: You certainly can see that she has gotten that.

SEGMENTThe House Always Wins: Ethan King------------------------------------
{Lights go down. The opening riff of "Hail to the King" plays, met with swiftly moving and flashing white spotlights flashing through the arena, and as the drums kick in Ethan King slowly steps out to the stage, accompanied by Laura Howlett. He takes a few steps forward, wearing an expensive looking black suit, looking to either side as he cracks his neck with a smug grin. Ethan looks dead ahead at the ring, as the overture ends, the lights come up in full as he spreads his arms wide and soaks in the reaction from the crowd. When the lyrics begin he finally lowers his arms and begins his walk down the ramp. When he reaches the ring he removes his suit - revealing his ring attire underneath - pulls himself up onto the apron, and finally stepps into the ring when the chorus roars through the arena. He holds up the second rope for Laura as she climbs into the ring. The two stand together in the center of the ring, each with a single fist raised in the air as they nod slightly in rhythm to the music, pumping their fists three times in time with the words âHAIL! HAIL! HAIL!â.}Vasco Dias: The IWF World Champion has returned after what Iâm told was a much needed vacation.
Terri Morasco: Vacation!?
Vasco Dias: Yes, Terri. Ethan has been working harder than most since winning the World title and needed a little break after that big six person tag at Bloody Assizes.
Terri Morasco: Thatâs the most ridiculous thing Iâve ever heard!
{ Laura and Ethan are handed microphones as they wait for the boos to die down. }Laura Howlett: MY NAME IS!
{ The crowd ramps up again with boos as Laura lowers the mic and laughs to herself and Ethan. }Ethan King: Would you neanderthals show this love lady some respect and shut up!?
Vasco Dias: Iâm with Ethan.
Terri Morasco: You would be.
{ The crowd doesnât like that so Ethan and Laura wait for them to quiet back down. }Laura Howlett: My name is Laura Howlett! I am the leader of the single greatest faction in the history of professional wrestling! The House of Howlett! We are the most decorated, the most dominate, the longest lasting!
{ The crowd begins to chant obscenities. }Laura Howlett: You blithering idiots can chant all you like but my client and I are not leaving this ring until weâve said out peace which means you donât get any more of your precious ârasslinâ until weâre finished!
Vasco Dias: Laura is throwing down the gauntlet.
{ The crowd quiets down slightly. }Laura Howlett: I am the advocate for a man who is dare I say the greatest professional wrestler in the history of the industry. This man has defied all odds, beaten all challengers and stands before you today as the reigning, defending, undisputed World Champion of the Imperial Wrestling Federation! ETHAN KING!!!!
{âASSHOLE-ASSHOLE!â }Laura Howlett: You people should really be kinder to yourselves.
{ Laura lets out a wry laugh before continuing. }Laura Howlett: As you know my client successfully defeated his would be future challenger at Bloody Assizes, FAIR AND SQUARE!
{ Boos. }Laura Howlett: Ethan King was the better competitor that night as he is every night and his prowess was on display when he knocked out that cry baby bitch known as Rob Diamond!
Terri Morasco: Ethan King desecrated the memory of Spike Kane!
Vasco Dias: And how many people did Spike desecrate during his career!?
Laura Howlett: My client took that match, despite having nothing to prove against a career mid carder, so as to rob *winks* him of his opportunity for a surprise cash in. Now that petulant little brat has to give us notice before he uses the Joker in the Pack. But honestly, just seeing that little twerp laying face up in the ring was pretty damn satisfying.
{ The crowd is absolutely livid. }Laura Howlett: Not to mention my client going above and beyond the call of duty to honor the memory of our dear departed Spike Kane.
{ Heavy sarcasm as the crowd erupts when 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 charging out from behind the curtain! }Terri Morasco: Rod Diamond is here as promised!
Laura Howlett: STOP HIM!!!
{ As Rob comes running down the ramp but a dozen men in security guard uniforms come flying over the crowd barriers and grab him just before he hits the ring. }Terri Morasco: What the hell is this!?
Vasco Dias: Private security!
Laura Howlett: CUFF HIM!
{ One of the guards pulls a pair of cuffs out while the others pull Robâs arms behind his back and then the cuffs are locked in. }Laura Howlett: You really shouldnât have called your shot last week, Rob but since you did I took the extra precaution of hiring some security. You see, I canât risk you, though it is very unlikely, injuring my client before a World title defense.
Vasco Dias: Sound logic.
Terri Morasco: This is utter crap.
{ Rob screams to be let go as Ethan just waves at him. }Laura Howlett: But since we have your captive attention.
{ Laura leans out over the ropes. }Laura Howlett: I just want to make one thing clear. YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT MY CLIENT! You will never be IWF World Champion. And you will never. EVER. Be as well remembered as that over rated backyard loser you adore so much, Spike Kane.
{ Rob tries to rip loose from the guards but their holding him firm. }Terri Morasco: What a disgusting human being Laura is.
Vasco Dias: I mean, she has a point.
Terri Morasco: Youâre just as bad as she is.
{ Ethan slowly steps out of the ring and hops down to the floor as Rob screams to be let go. }Ethan King: Iâd just like to remind you of what IS going to happen WHEN you cash in your little Joker in the Pack brief case.
{ Ethan suddenly hauls off and connects with a brass knuckle covered right hand straight to the left temple of Rob Diamond who immediately goes limp in the arms of the security guards. }Terri Morasco: HOLY HELL!!!!
Vasco Dias: Ethan just sent a devastating message!
Terri Morasco: Rob could have a concussion! His career could be over!?
Vasco Dias: Too bad, so sad.
{ Ethan kisses the knuckles as Laura joins him at ring side. Rob lays limp on the ground as medical staff make their way out from the back. }Laura Howlett: You should have remembered this, the House Always Wins!
{ Canât Stop by Sixx AM hits the pa now as Laura and Ethan pose over the fallen Rob Diamond who is being attended too by the IWF medical staff. }

WOMENâS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP REMEMBRANCE RACE Triple Threat Match - Winner will advance to Final Destination Match at Lineage
Dawn Halliwell vs Amber Cooke vs Charity Crowne ---------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall and a chance for the Final Destination Match.
Terri Morasco: This will be an interesting match to be sure! We still are unsure what the final destination match will be at lineage.
Vasco Dias: I have no doubt given the women in this match that things are about to get interesting.
Terri Morasco: Itâs two of the Best Friends Club against Dawn Halliwell.
Vasco Dias: Itâs another chance for Charity to get her revenge for what happened during the iron Maiden.
Terri Morasco: Let it go, Vasco.
{Lights dim as the opening riffs to Shoot to Thrill hit, and flashes of white light begin to pulse along with the music as it picks up pace. The stage fills with dry ice as Dawn steps out from backstage, smiling manically and rocking out to the music. She points to the crowd and tries to get them pumped up. When the chorus hits, she raises her fists in the air as she lets out a shout of excitement punctuated by a blast of simple white pyro around her. She holds that pose until the second iteration of "Shoot to Thrill" in the chorus, at which point she charges into the ring and slides in, spinning with the momentum to her feet as she urges the crowd to get to their feet and rock along with her. After a few moments she will settle into her corner.} Alison Valance: First down to the ring standing at 5â4âââ and weighing in at 125 poundsâŚDawn Halliwell !
Terri Morasco: Dawn has not been having the best of luck as of late.
Vasco Dias: I mean, who has?
{The guitars of "War Eternal" start up and the arena is bathed in lights for a minute before Amber comes stalking as the first main riff kicks in, walking at an almost blasting pace, ignoring the crowd as she goes, sliding under the bottom rope to climb a turnbuckle and start jawing to the assembled masses before hopping off and jawing to everyone else and taking her Jacket and dog tags off to hang on a corner. Before spinning to face her opponent, or the entry way.} Alison Valance: Next down to the ring, standing at 5â6ââ and weighing in at 135 pounds⌠Amber Cooke!
Terri Morasco: Amber has been on a tear since her return to the ring.
Vasco Dias: She has certainly made an impression. Joining back up with her leader and best friend. She has some unresolved issues with Dawn and it will be interesting to see that played out here.
{"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. 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.} Alison Valance: and last down to the ring standing at 5â7ââ and 130 pounds⌠Charity Crowne!
Terri Morasco: Charity has had an impressive year. But that doesnât seem to have removed her entitlement.
Vasco Dias: Itâs not entitlement when you literally deserve the world.
{ All three women stand in the ring, exchanging looks before the ref signals for the bell. Amber goes after Dawn with a punch to the face. Charity takes advantage and hits with a Hair pull backbreaker on Dawn.} Terri Morasco: Seems Amber and Charity are double teaming Dawn.
{As Dawn gets up Charity hits Dawn with a Reverse roundhouse kick. Amber hits her with a Backbreaker.} Vasco Dias: This is what friendship is all about.
Terri Morasco: Is it?
{Amber goes for a Dynamic Entry, hitting a Snapmare,Kick to the back, running high angle single leg drop kick strike to Dawn just as she was getting up.}Terri Morasco: There is no stopping between these two.
Vasco Dias: why should there be?
{Amber goes for the pin

KICK OUT!} Vasco Dias: boo!
Terri Morasco: Dawn is not going down that easy.
{As Dawn is getting back to her feet Charity hits her with a Coronation.} Terri Morasco: Barely a moment to breath!
{charity goes for the pin

KICK OUT!} Terri Morasco: Dawn is not going to give up here.
Vasco Dias: Itâs that pesky Kane genes. Hit her harder!
{Amber hits Dawn with a Mudhole stomping in the center of the ring before Dawn hits her in the knee to try and get away.}
Terri Morasco: This match is certainly one sided.
Vasco Dias: Itâs what happens when you have two best friends versus the world.
{Charity hits Dawn with a Russian legsweep, floating into a pin attempt

Dawn struggles her shoulder up.} Vasco Dias: Charity and Amber are a well oiled machine!
Terri Morasco: Itâs unfair to expect Dawn to be fighting both these women by herself!
Vasco Dias: the only fair fight is the one you lose, Terri.
{Dawn struggles to her feet, Amber and Charity make eye contact, nod. They both go into a double diamond cutter.} Terri Morasco: What?
Vasco Dias: Thatâs the FRIENDâS FOREVER!
{Amber motions for Charity to take the pin. Charity nods.} Terri Morasco: Is this happening?
{Charity goes for the pin

Vasco Dias: Friendship is alive and well!
{As Charity gets off of Dawn, Amber hugs her. The two smile at each other as charityâs music plays.} Terri Morasco: I guess they are friendsâŚ.
{Seconds after Charityâs victory and advancement to Lineage, the lights in the arena start to flicker all around Charity again who stands one step closer to her Final Destination in the middle of the ring, like those before her. The lights inevitably change and settle once more on a deep purple hue before all four ring posts catch fire spontaneously and burn with the eternal flame of his immortality. Charity looks around at her place in the middle of her world on fire, uncertain. All who watch her are silent , save a soft chilling female laughter which now returns throughout the arena. After several moments, we inevitably slowly fade, as we do every week, to commercial.
See you on the Other Side.}------------------------------------
SEGMENTMaMa bear------------------------------------
~THE FOLLOWING WAS RECORDED EARLIER IN THE DAY~{ We find ourselves inside Cedar Point, 55 miles to the west of Cleveland, where a pair of mysterious folks--a woman with a banjo and a white-brimmed Stetso along with a man with a fiddle and black top hat--playing a tune with a pair of similarly-talented musicians with charcoal-gray hats just outside the Maverick roller coaster entrance in the parkâs Frontier Town section. It was quite the jovial atmosphere at Americaâs Rock ânâ Roller-Coast, a bright and sunny afternoon as a crowd gathered to watch the musicians in action. And what were they playing whilst clad in authentic attire straight out of the Wild West?! None other than a 19th century-style version of âBorn to be Wild.â
âGet your motor runninâ
Head out on the highway
Lookinâ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlinâ, go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into spaceâŚâ
{ The crowd was eating up the live performance, and when the song ended they all broke out into a huge round of applause. The woman in the white hat took a bow as she addressed the patrons using a distinctive Texas twang. }âLara Croftâ: Howdy yâall! My nameâs Lara Croft and this is my wonderful travelinâ partner--
âWilliam Shatnerâ: Shatner...William Shatner.
âLara Croftâ: Now ainât this Cedar Point place ace high or what?!
{ The gathering laughs out loud... }âWilliam Shatnerâ: What my partnerâs tryinâ to say...is that this place is first-class stupendous!
{ ...before breaking out into cheers. }âLara Croftâ: Darlinâ, donât be so addle-headed! I reckon you guys and gals are havinâ all sorts of FUN on these attractions! Whatâs this here, a Skyhawk?! Or how âbout Maverick?! Or even Steel Vengeance!?!
âWilliam Shatnerâ: This is so different than beinâ in 1894!
{ âShatnerâ chuckled to himself as more laughter ensues. }âLara Croftâ: Donât be an addle-pot!
âWilliam Shatnerâ Just get to the point already!
âLara Croftâ: Do ya wanna keep travelinâ with me?! Or do ya wanna...say, spend another ten bars of gold in that lady-of-the-eveninâ hotel in El Paso again?!
âWilliam Shatnerâ: Iâd rather hang up my fiddleâŚ
{ The patronsâ laughter is prevalent as the two âtraveling partnersâ begin an impromptu square dance routine. }âLara Croftâ Say yâall...have yâall heard the news?! Mama Bear is cominâ on down and boy, sheâs all mad as the Devil himself!
âWilliam Shatnerâ Bet you some Adamâs Ale that sheâll be here sooner than ya think!
âLara Croftâ: I reckon she might've snuck in from right under your noses! You just never know with her!
{ The crowd cheers at the announcement before the musical act begins again, this time with a bluegrass version of âSweet Child oâ Mine.â A close-up shot of the woman reveals a cheeky smirk as she lifts up the sleeve on her outfit, revealing a very large tattoo on her shoulder that simply reads âMAMA BEARâ in bold lettering. The feed instantly cuts out. We then see a serious of distorted images showing many of Fionaâs past matches with a clock ticking sound playing in the background, marking the passage of time. The ticking continues as we are left with an image of a swinging pendulum, a la Chrono Trigger, with a title card that reads... }FIONA RETURNS TO GREATNESS
