October Revolution October 27, 2019: Royal Farms Arena Baltimore, Maryland 
SEGMENT:Preshow
------------------------------------
{the camera pans through the crowd while Rock & Roll Part II - Gary Glitter the official song of October Revolution plays, catching some signs in the stadium “Almir is best!”, “Rob wins or we riot!” “Amber deserves better” “Loser’s Club” “Hideaki Kazama!!!!” “Little Bad Wolf” “Being infamous!” “I’m here instead of my brother’s wedding!” “Abraxes”}
Crowd: WOO!
{The camera rests on the preshow table to show Summer Thompson in a Charmander onsie smiling widely.}
Summer Thompson: Hello and welcome to 2019 October Revolution pre-show! Hi guys gals and nonbinary pals! How are you all doing? Are you excited ? Because I am excited! Since this is basically the closest we have to a Halloween episode I asked the rest of the preshow panel to dress up. I haven’t seen what they are wearing yet, but I bet it will be awesome!
{Camera pans to the empty preshow table}
Summer Thompson: Okay, so first we are going to see what Rayne is wearing for the show tonight? Ready?
{Summer drums her hands dramatically on the preshow table as Rayne walks up to the table in a Wonder Woman cosplay.}
Summer Thompson: Whoa! That’s amazing! I love the detail on that.
Rayne: Thank you. What are you meant to be?
Summer Thompson: Charmander, the best starter pokemon ever.
Rayne: Oh.
Summer Thompson: There is debate on that, I know but come on. Cute little fire dragon.
Rayne: I mean sure.
Summer Thompson: Wonder Woman is pretty amazing though. Do you have a sword?
Rayne: Wonder Woman doesn’t need a sword.
Summer Thompson: that is a fair point.
{Summer drum rolls on the table with her hands again while Rayne gets comfortable in her seat. Robert comes out in his usual suit and tie.}
Rayne: What are you meant to be?
Robert Henderson: A Pulitzer prize winning journalist.
Summer Thompson: But it’s Halloween…
Robert Henderson: We have a job to do here, Summer.
Summer Thompson: Party-Pooper.
Rayne: Come on, you could have worn a little something to get into the spirit of the holiday.
Robert Henderson: I’m an adult.
Summer Thompson: Well, here’s hoping our next panelist has something a little fun… Uriel Black!
{Summer drums on the table until Uriel comes into view where her eyes go a little wide. Uriel is wear a kilt and open cotton shirt. Uriel saunters over and takes the seat next to Summer.}
Rayne: What are you meant to be?
Summer Thompson: A…romance cover?
{Uriel laughs}
Uriel Black: Connor Macleod. Kilt and everything.
Summer Thompson: I…have some questions.
Rayne: Don’t.
{Uriel smirks leaning in closer.}
Uriel Black: The answer is yes.
{Summer goes bright red and giggles.}
Rayne: Summer, get it together.
Robert Henderson: Can we please focus?
Uriel Black: I am focused.
{Summer coughs slightly looking forward at the camera.}
Summer Thompson: Uhh…. Right, right. So first match on the card is Thaddeus versus Hideaki Kazama. What are our thoughts?
Robert Henderson: Thaddeus is unpredictable. Trying to guess what he will do next only ever leads to disaster. He is unpredictable and adaptable. But Hideaki is a well-known wrestler from the Japanese circuit. He has talent and has won many challenges put in front of him. It’s anyone’s call.
Rayne: Personally I think Hideaki is going to be the winner here. He might not look like your typical IWF superstar but he clearly has the spirit of the fighter in him.
Summer Thompson: I have to agree. Hideaki’s positivity and everything really stands out to me. We don’t have guys like him and I hope he wins this match.
Uriel Black: I do think Thaddeus might do his usual underhanded ways to get a win out here.
Summer Thompson: Next we have Abraxes versus Adel. I feel so bad for Adel.
Uriel Black: Abraxes is going to humiliate that little hipster and we are all going to laugh.
Rayne: You don’t know that.
Uriel Black: Okay, I’ll laugh.
Robert Henderson: Moving past that… can we talk about the extreme championship match?
Summer Thompson: you have some thoughts?
Robert Henderson: We have a rising star of the Performance Center versus one of the most defended champions in the company. This is a match that I think too many people are ignoring. We have old school versus new school and I feel like this is something that not only the fans but the true wrestling fans should be paying attention to.
Rayne: Steve Awesome is kind of a dick. I think most people don’t talk about his matches so they don’t inflate his over-sized ego.
Robert Henderson: But you can’t deny the results.
Uriel Black: I think Steve Awesome is the prime example just because you win and have a belt doesn’t mean anyone actually cares.
Summer Thompson: I personally like Miles. I interviewed him for my podcast and he’s a really swell guy. He’s funny too. I hope he makes a good showing tonight.
Rayne: There will be a showing tonight, that’s for certain.
Robert Henderson: I can’t believe you three are not giving Steve Awesome his due as a champion here.
Summer Thompson: I didn’t say anything-
Robert Henderson: He has defended his belt more than any other champion currently holding a belt.
Summer Thompson: Oh, um, I am getting told the preshow match is about to start. We’ll be back right after. Now to Vasco and Terri!
------------------------------------  PRESHOW MATCH TIB vs Hideaki Kazama
------------------------------------
{The lights black out as the Imperial Aquila Lights up on the tron, the choir starting to sing their brief introduction, before the music starts proper and Thaddeus rises from the stage, surrounded by smoke a single spot light on him and Harriet.}
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Harriet Du Lac, from the Unsuspecting Calamity in low orbit of Holy Terra, weighing in at 230 pounds, Captain Thaddeus Isambard Bancroft!
Vasco Dias: At attention, Morasco! Captain on deck!
Terri Morasco: My partner’s ridiculousness notwithstanding, Thaddeus made an impressive showing during the Olympians tournament alongside Rowan MacDonnough. You have to think he’s going to want to keep that momentum going here tonight. Any idea what we can expect?
Vasco Dias: Every trick in the bag, the bag itself, and a few tricks that wouldn’t fit in the bag. He’s a cunning ring warrior, and he doesn’t like leaving avenues unexhausted.
{The commissar’s Cap tipped low and wearing the medals that denote his station, umbrella under one arm, pausing to walk up the ropes to pass his coat, cap and Umbrella to Harriet and climb into the ring even as the lights raise.}
Terri Morasco: He has more accessories than me, swear to God.
Vasco Dias: Terri? We’re live.
Terri Morasco: And?
{The beeping synths and sliding guitar of "Dream Rider" hit the PA, and as the drums and main guitar riff kick in, Hideaki Kazama explodes from the back, calling out to the crowd with clenched fists and a bellow of joy. He grins ear to ear, walking back and forth to excite the fans before making his way down the ramp, high-fiving and generally playing off the crowd.}
Alison Valance: And his opponent! From Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, weighing in at 195 pounds, Hideaki Kazama!
Terri Morasco: Talk about an impactful first few matches in a company, Vasco. Defeating a world-renowned competitor like Nighthawk and then earning a title opportunity in your second match? Hideaki Kazama’s setting the bar high here.
Vasco Dias: He has to be sure not to overshoot his capabilities, though. If he thinks he’s going to have it easy against anyone, much less the competition on his plate moving forward, he might end up crashing back to Earth far sooner than he expects.
{Hideaki climbs the ring steps, wiping his feet on the apron, and grabs the top rope before slingshotting himself in, landing on his feet and looking around at the crowd with a huge smile on his face. He nods to them, taking a few steps forward before spinning in place and throwing a fist up as he leans against the opposite ropes, smile still wide on his face. He steps back into a corner, testing the ropes, and waits for the bell, bouncing on the soles of his feet with energy and determination on his face.}
Terri Morasco: Two talented competitors squaring off here to kick off the action at October Revolution! Let’s get things going!
{The bell rings, and Hideaki steps forward, offering a handshake to Thaddeus. Thaddeus eyes it suspiciously, but after another offer, steps forward and shakes it enthusiastically. Harriet hops up on the apron, applauding the display of sportsmanship, and when the referee moves to admonish her, Thaddeus rears back and fires a kick into Hideaki’s groin! NO! He catches it with his free hand, expression shifting from one of excitement to disappointment, and quickly spins to sweep Thaddeus’ vertical base out with a heel trip before leaping into a standing moonsault! The referee turns at the sound of the impact and dives into the count! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: A display of bad sportsmanship from Thaddeus there, and Hideaki Kazama was ready for it! What a quick-thinking counter!
Vasco Dias: He certainly did his research, as he said he would, but one move doesn’t end a match like that against someone as resilient as Thaddeus. He’ll have to do more than that!
{Thaddeus scrambles up to his feet, charging at Hideaki, who rolls underneath a clothesline attempt. As he hits the ropes, Thaddeus attempts a bicycle kick, and once again, Hideaki ducks the strike, responding by straightening up and nailing a beautiful European uppercut as Thaddeus puts on the brakes. He whips around into a spinning back elbow, dazing the Englishman, and yanks him into a beautiful bridging German suplex to complete the PINCER COMBO! ONE! TWO! Thaddeus kicks out! Hideaki maintains waist control, however, and runs him to the ropes for an O’Connor roll. Thaddeus hooks his arms on the top rope, sending Kazama sprawling back, and when the Japanese youngster charges in, he’s met with a quick back elbow that cuts him off. Hideaki stumbles into a blistering knife-edge chop, staggering him, and Thaddeus delivers a sharp toe kick to the gut, hauling him into a brainbuster! Not content, Bancroft drags Hideaki up, swinging him over into a Falcon Arrow to complete the AQUILA! HOOK OF THE LEG! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT BY KAZAMA!}
Vasco Dias: Give him an inch, he’ll take a mile, that’s how Thaddeus works! You don’t become a captain like him without a dose of cunning!
Terri Morasco: Hideaki landed on his neck from that brainbuster, I’m amazed he was able to kick out!
{Thaddeus hauls Hideaki up, hooking him in and dropping him with a massive pendulum backbreaker! Another cover! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Not wasting any time, he hooks Hideaki into a quick chinlock, bearing down on him and shouting “SUBMIT, FOR TERRA’S SAKE!” into the younger man’s ear. Hideaki struggles against the hold, clawing at Thaddeus’s forearm as he works back to a kneeling position, before firing an elbow into his gut. A second shot follows, and a third loosens the hold enough for Hideaki to slip out. Thaddeus straightens up just in time to eat a huge solebutt to the midsection from Hideaki, who hits the ropes and comes back off with a swinging neckbreaker! Hideaki actually uses the momentum to roll up to his feet, hitting the ropes again, and nearly decapitates Thaddeus on the rebound with the KUSANAGI lariat! COVER! ONE! TWO! THR—KICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: There’s those quick strikes of Kazama coming into play, and that massive lariat nearly turning Thaddeus inside out!
Vasco Dias: Momentum can shift on a dime in a match, and that’s a perfect example. One of those perfectly-honed moves flips a switch, and all of a sudden you’re fighting from underneath.
{Hideaki hauls Thaddeus up by an arm, hooking them behind his back and looking to heft him up for the CAISSON DROP! NO! Thaddeus stomps on his foot, causing Hideaki to drop him back down, and chop blocks Hideaki to his knees! Rolling back up, Thaddeus wastes no time in whipping his foot around, looking for the HORUS HERESY! NO! Hideaki drops flat, letting the kick swipe through the space where his head would be, and delivers an energetic push-up that brings him back to a vertical base, planting and drilling Thaddeus with a roundhouse kick to the temple! Thaddeus is dazed, and no matter Harriet’s efforts on the floor, Hideaki is solely focused on hauling Thaddeus in and bringing him up for the SKY-HIGH BOMB! The referee drops to count! ONE! TWO! THREE! Hideaki lets go, pumping his fist as “Dream Rider” plays and the referee raises his hand.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Hideaki Kazama!
Terri Morasco: Big win to keep the momentum rolling for Kazama here on the kickoff show! You have to think this bodes well for him moving forward!
Vasco Dias: It was a good showcase, but we still haven’t seen him get into deep waters against an opponent like the current Extreme Champion Steve Awesome yet. Let’s hold our praise for now.
Terri Morasco: Nothing’s ever good enough for you, Vasco. Anyway, back to our pre-show panel, who I’m sure have things to say about the night we have in store!
------------------------------------ SEGMENT: Preshow ------------------------------------ {The camera comes back on to the preshow table}Uriel Black: Well, That was something. Summer Thompson: So we have the Openweight match between Emma and Brooklyn. Like, if Brooklyn wins this match this puts her leagues ahead of everyone else in the heiress to the throne. That’s intense. Robert Henderson: I feel a lot of people do not give Emma the respect she deserves. I feel like she has a real shot here to take Brooklyn down. Rayne: Neither of these women are easy to beat. But I admit that it is hard to ignore the long win streak Brooklyn piled up when she had her last belt. Uriel Black: You would think Brooklyn might make the decision to drop the Openweight belt here so her path to Heiress and the world title are unobstructed. Summer Thompson: she can’t just let someone pin her. Uriel Black: She’ll have to vacate the belt if she gets the world title shot anyway. At least she’d have control of the time. Rayne: you are the worst. Robert Henderson: though not technically wrong… Summer Thompson: Next up is the Strong Style match with Almir and James. They were on last months preshow panel. How are we feeling about the result of that match? I think James is going to come out of this the winner. Rayne: As much as I hate to admit it I think James is going to retain. He’s retained before. He has proven himself a good champion. Robert Henderson: Almir might have the ego but I do think that will be his downfall. Uriel Black: Almir will win. Summer Thompson: How can you be so sure? Uriel Black: We could make it a bet. Make it interesting… {Summer blushes and twirls a piece of her hair around her finger.}Summer Thompson: Interesting how? Rayne: don’t finish that sentence. Uriel Black: What? I’m not allowed to talk to people? Robert Henderson: Moving on… Heiress to the throne six women tag team match. I believe Team Jackson is going to get the win here. They have two former champions on their side. Rayne: You’re not wrong. Summer Thompson: But Mandi and Amber have worked really hard the last year. Uriel Black: I got to give it to Kimberly’s team. She’s got the drive to really make something of herself and will drag her team to victory to get her hands on Eternity again. {A timer goes off on Summer’s phone.}Summer Thompson: Alright, speed round, world title, who wins? I’m going with Rob. Robert Henderson: Rob Diamond. Rayne: Likely Rob, he seems to be mad as hell. Uriel Black: Rob Diamond. Summer Thompson: alright, thanks for joining us… see you next month! ------------------------------------  SINGLES MATCH Abraxes vs Adel Trevant
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Terri Morasco: Abraxes has been making clear who his target is for weeks.
Vasco Dias: And Adel certainly has been feeling it.
{As ‘Uptown funk’ come son, Adel starts strutting and dancing down to the ring in time to the music}
Alison Valance: On his way down to the ring standing at 6,1’’ weighing in at 220 pounds…. Adel Travent!
Vasco Dias: Adel seems a little rattled by everything that’s happened since they last faced each other.
Terri Morasco: He’s trying his best, Vasco.
{The lights in the arena flicker and die as if there were some kind of power outage. As the light sounds of an acoustic guitar play, the high pitched laughter of children fills the air. A red spotlight shines on the stage as heavy smoke rolls across the floor. As opening lyrics of Monster (Under my Bed) by Call me Karizma starts to sing Abraxes rises from the center of the stage, his eyes burning out from under his mask as he stares down at the ring.
The rhythm of the song changes from a twisted lullaby do a grinding rock song just as he rises to his full height. Abraxes glares around at the audience before he walks down the ramp, focused on the ring in front of him. He crawls into the ring, exaggerated movements of his hands and legs to appear more like a creepy spider then a man. He rolls to his feet, holding his arms into the air as the lullaby starts anew.}
Alison Valance: and finally on his way down to the ring, weighing in at 285 pounds from The Pitt Abraxes!
Terri Morasco: Abraxes creeps me out.
Vasco Dias: He looks hungry.
{As soon as the bell rings, Abraxes is across the ring with a headbutt to Adel followed by a knee strike and a crossbody. Adel tries to get away but Abraxes picks him up like he doesn’t weigh anything and hits him with a body slam.}
Terri Morasco: Adel barely stands a chance here!
Vasco Dias: should have stayed home
{Abraxes picks Adel up and hits him with CONSIGN TO DREAM! Before going for the pin
1
2
3!!}
Alison Valance: And the winner… Abraxes!
{Abraxes’ theme plays but he picks Adel up and the lights go off and when they come back on the ring is empty.}
Vasco Dias: …That’s not a good sign…
------------------------------------  SEGMENTChance Craven discusses his goals in IWF------------------------------------ {Chance Craven is in the performance center and is punching at a large bag. You can see him wince as he hits it. It hurts, but he wants it to hurt for others more...a familiar voice is heard and then a legend’s hand reaches out and touches Craven’s shoulder making him stop in his tracks.
Bob Pooler: Guy, good on you for getting a spot but you’re untrained. You didn’t go through the usual channels but somehow made it work. Management must have seen something special - so why don’t I help take that natural ability and help you polish into something, eh?
We see a montage of training with Chance Craven and other students. Most back bumps sound like a solid THUD, but when Chance Craven hits the mat...it’s more of a PLOP. And a lot of plopping has been going on. Craven takes a big clothesline from a masked wrestler and falls back...PLOP...followed by OOF. The wind is knocked out of him and he grabs his stomach and rolls to his side. }Bob Pooler: Arms up, bud. Breathe through the pain. It’ll subside in a minute. Chance Craven: O...kayy. Ugh {Craven does as he’s instructed, putting his arms over his head, but rolls over on his side, then up to his knees, he’s stretching out. Pooler looks at him with a grin. He shakes his head at the determination of Craven. }Bob Pooler: Alright, good effort but you gotta remember - this business, each match is a marathon, eh! You’ll never be able to reach that finish line if you try and sprint! Chance Craven: I know...I’m...just...I’m just trying to save… {*COUGH COUGH*} my farm and feed my family. Bob Pooler: We get that, trust me. But the questions is what are you going to do next? You won a match … but to be in IWF, it’s not just the wrestling, you need a personality. There’s gotta be something that we can market, you know? What can we put on a Chance Craven shirt {Chance’s eyes get wide.}Chance Craven: You mean I’m getting my own shirt! Bob Pooler: Settle down, settle down, not quite yet. It’s the idea, though that should help feed that fire. {Shame runs over Craven’s face, but he wants to get to that level. Bob takes him over to the dumbells. A large mirror is over the rack and Pooler points in the mirror. }Bob Pooler: Here, tell me this - who do you see when you look in the mirror. Chance Craven: I see a man who wants to take care of his family. Bob Pooler: Okay, and what else? Chance Craven: I, ugh, see a...farmer… Bob Pooler: More, Chance. Look hard! Chance Craven: I see a guy who wants...I mean, I don’t know… Bob Pooler: Listen, I see a guy who is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. A guy who, through the strength of his own virtues, is going to step up to whatever challenges are thrown his way. I see a guy who isn’t going to forget to keep getting back up whenever he’s knocked down. Push comes to shove, a guy who will surprise even the smartest marks out there. Chance Craven: I don’t see any of that in me. Bob Pooler: I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about me Chance Craven: Oh...that makes more sense. {Bob Pooler struggles to not roll his eyes, but already likes the innocence of the Ft. Worth Farmer. }Bob Pooler: Iwant you to look in the camera and let the people know who you are. It’s time for IWF to get behind you; make them! {Chance nods and looks in the camera}Chance Craven: My name is Chance Craven and I’m ready to break some bones and crack some backs, Jack! {Bob gets a pained look on his face.}Bob Pooler: Uh, okay that’s not how we do it anymore. Be you, eh. What drove you to do this? Chance Craven: I’m losing my farm. Bob Pooler: Yes, we got that. But there has to be more than a sob story - why are you losing your farm? Bad ground? Chance Craven: In a word. Taxes… {Chance Craven’s face flushes red...Bob Pooler sees this as a chance. }Bob Pooler: Good! Now look into the camera and let us know how you feel in a rah rah Bob Pooler kind of way {Chance nods and crouches down...he stands up and looks in the camera.}Chance Craven: Taxes...That’s why I’m here...Taxes. The City of Fort Worth decides they want to tax my land...they want to tax my animals...they want to tax the electricity I use...The gas in my tractors...From what I’m seeing in Washington, if they could tax my animals per fart, they probably would...I’m convinced that if they could, they would tax the air that I breath...The reason I am here is because I can’t afford to keep my family farm. I can’t afford to keep living the American dream because Uncle Sam is digging deeper into my pockets. You can have the smartest scientists in the world, but we all live by rain and a few inches of top soil...People don’t care about the working man when they get a degree...They want more from us. More and more...The more they take away, the closer I get to poverty...and then we have the drought last year...My crops didn’t do good...how do I make money? By selling crops. By selling cattle. The little I do sell gets taxed...I’m not losing my farm...My family isn’t going hungry...I don’t care who is put in front of me...they will have 100% of my attention...They are standing between me and a bigger check...Kick me...I’ll get up...Punch me...I’ll get up...Slam me...I’ll get up. All I have to do is think about my family and I’m going to get back up and give my all. A mack truck can’t stop me...I’m… {Chance Craven taken over by emotion looks away and wipes tears from his eyes. }Bob Pooler :{ to the camera man} Yeah, I think all of that will work {Craven wipes away tears and gets a surprised look on his face.}Chance Craven: You mean they’ve been taping this whole time? ------------------------------------  IWF EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Miles Reyes vs Steve Awesome(c)
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: This next match is for The Extreme-
Vasco Dias: Ah ah ah, call it the SeXtreme Championship, like it deserves to be called.
Terri Morasco: I will never get used to saying that.
Vasco Dias: Well you better get used to it Terri, because Steve Awesome is going to be SeXtreme Champion for a long time.
Terri Morasco: Well tonight he defends that championship against a new comer from the Performance Center. I don’t know much about this Miles Reyes kid, but I hear he is at the top of all his classes at the Performance Center and Bob Pooler is super proud of him. So that definitely has to count for something.
Vasco Dias: It’s going to count for this little punk to get beat up in front of everyone live on pay per view!
{Miles Reyes steps out onto the curtain with no music playing. Hes dressed in basic ring shorts and a Performance Center hoodie He tries to hype the crowd up and they give him some cheers. Miles runs downs to the ramp and slides into the ring. He climbs on a turnbuckle and raises his arms and the crowd cheer for him some more.}
Allison Valance: From Houston Texas, Weighing in at 185 pounds…..MILES REYYYYESSSS!!!
Vasco Dias: The crowd really likes him, Terri. Too bad he is a trash talker on twitter and he’s going to get himself beat up for it here tonight.
Terri Morasco: WHAT? Steve Awesome was talking trash on twitter all month long about The Performance Center and Miles Reyes stood up to defend it.
Vasco Dias: And it wont do him a lick of good.
"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
{Dramatic Pause.}
"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"
{The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones.}
Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery
{The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro sprays behind him.}
Allison Valance: And from Detroit, Michigan. He weighs in at 236 pounds. He is the IWF SeXtreme Champion. STEEEEEEEEEEVE AWWWWWWEEEEEESOOOOOOME!!!
Terri Morasco: And there is the champion, who like him or not has defended the SeXtreme Championship more times than anyone before him.
Vasco Dias: That’s because he’s a true champion.
Terri Morasco: Well he gets to back up all the trash he talked on twitter. And it was a lot.
{The bell rings and Steve saunters forward and meets Miles in the middle of the ring. They talk a little trash and Steve slaps him real hard across the face. Miles stumbled to the side holding his jaw and then runs in after Steve but Steve stops him with a kick to the midsection and then slaps him across the face again. Miles glared back at him and Steve just smirked and gave him the crotch chop for good measure. Miles quickly shoots in for a double leg but Steve Awesome is prepared for the move and sprawls back and takes Miles all the way down to the mat with a chin lock.}
Terri Morasco: I have to say it’s not looking good for Miles in the opening of this match. Steve just has the experience and the knowledge factor going into this match.
Vasco Dias: Yeah and he’s doing a hand stand! Ha ha!
{Steve transitioned into a side headlock while Miles was on the ground and he pops up for a headstand for a few moments and yells to the crowd. “I CAN DO THIS ALL NIGHT!!” and the crowd boos. Miles rolls out and Steve drops to his knees with a smirk.}
Vasco Dias: This kid is so out matched, Steve is toying with him.
Terri Morasco: I guess he’s giving Miles a free shot.
{Steve stands there pointing to his chin and then puts his hands behind his back. Miles goes to swing but Steve sucker punches him anyway and laughs before tagging him with another stiff blow to the face.}
Terri Morasco: What the hell was that!?
Vasco Dias: That was an example of the real world Terri, things aren’t just given to you for free. It’s a valuable lesson, Terri.
Terri Morasco: Oh please. It’s a damn sucker punch is what it is. Steve keeps wrist control on Miles and runs him to the ropes and directly on the rebound Steve drills his knee into the midsection of his opponent. Miles gasping for air from the blow. And then...OH driving reverse ddt! OH MY- did you hear that impact Vasco?
Vasco Dias: It sounded like a shot went off in the arena! That’s gotta be it.
{Steve hooks the leg and Miles shoots a shoulder up at two. Steve just shakes his head and drags the kid up to his feet. Miles manages to nail a couple strikes to the midsection that catches Steve by surprise. Steve buckles over and Miles runs to the ropes and looks for some offense on the rebound but Steve manages to counter with a devastating tilt-o-whirl back breaker. Miles bounces to the floor and Steve hooks the leg again for the cover. But again Miles gets a shoulder up.}
Terri Morasco: The point of Steve’s knee found all of Miles spine and he still got that shoulder up. The kid has heart, that’s for sure.
Vasco Dias: Heart doesn’t win a match though, Terri. You have to make an offense of some kind.
{Steve drags him to his feet and nails him with a couple of back elbows followed by a big scoop slam. He bounces off the ropes drops an elbow and then quickly gets up and runs to the opposite ropes and comes back with a senton splash. Steve is back up to his feet once again and struts back to Miles and sticks his foot on his chest and poses over him for the pin and Miles kicks out. Steve grabs Miles by his hair and drags him up to his feet and drags him face first into the turnbuckle. Steve hits him with a few forearms right to the neck, grabs him by the waistline of his tights and then shoved him forward chest first into the turnbuckle. Miles unknowingly stumbles back from the blow right into a CrossFace Chickwing. Steve jerks it around as the ref asks if Miles wants to tap. He screams no.}
Vasco Dias: Why doesn’t this kid tap out? What does he have to prove?
Terri Morasco: Everything, Vasco! He’s here to prove himself! To prove the Performance Center. And by god he’s doing that right now.
Vasco Dias: Ooh Awesome adding more pain by lifting him up in the air there for a bit.
Terri Morasco: He does it again. Kinda looks like he’s lifting and OH MY!!! CROSSFACE CHICKENWING RELEASE SUPLEX!?!?
{Steve takes Miles while still in the CrossFace chickenwing and flips Miles up and over and Miles lands flat on his face and stomach.}
Terri Morasco: I don’t even know exactly how to call that move, but it was dangerous and reckless. Miles could have broken his damn neck there.
Vasco Dias: I think that’s the point.
Terri Morasco: I think you might be right. All this because Steve is jealous of the new kids. How sad is that Vasco? The old man is jealous of the youth.
Vasco Dias: He’s not jealous just annoyed.
Terri Morasco: Well I’m glad you understand Steve and his motives. He just seems to do whatever he wants and it just doesn’t matter. Ohh and look at this now. Now that Miles can’t stand up Steve calls for the SteveKO!
Vasco Dias: He has finished countless legends and hall of famers with that move. If he hits it it’s all over.
Terri Morasco: Miles up on the shoulders and...OH WAIT,....MILES OUT THE BACK DOOR! SMALL PACKAGE!?
Vasco Dias: Hey….wait a minute….
Terri Morasco: Steve is struggling!! The ref slides into position. He starts his count. One!!! Steve is frantically kicking his leg….Two!!!!...he can’t quite get ittttt….THRENOO!! Steve just BARELY got out of that one and even HE can’t believe it
Vasco Dias: I almost had a heart attack Terri!
{Steve Awesome triple checks with the ref just to make sure he’s still in this match. Steve Awesome glared and cussed at the kid and stormed over and went to Irish whip Miles to the turnbuckle but Miles reverses it and runs after Steve. Steve pops up to the top rope and leaps back for a Awesome-Sault but he lands on his feet and finds Miles had ran underneath the moonsault before he could even hit it.}
Terri Morasco: Impressive quickness of Miles Reyes.
Vasco Dias: That was pretty cool for a noob.
{Steve looks at Miles like “wtf” and Miles gives a grin and then slaps the shit out of Steve Awesome. Spit goes flying and the whole place cheers and Miles goes on the attack. Two hard chops to the chest followed by a deep scoop slam. Steve gets up, angry and yelling and he walks right into an armdrag! Steve slaps the mat in anger again and he shoots right up to his feet and storms right into another armdrag. Steve gets up and eats a dropkick and he goes down to the mat! Steve starts to climb to his feet but Miles intercepts him and runs in with a huge shining wizzard thats nails Steve flush in the head. Steve falls to the mat out of it and Miles hooks the leg. 1…...2….Steve gets his shoulder up.}
Terri Morasco: For the first time in this fight, Miles Reyes is in control.
Vasco Dias: Ahhh! Steve what are you doing!? You cant let this little punk show you up!
{Steve gets up and shakes off the cobwebs. Miles runs in but Steve ducks the strike and suddenly lifts Miles up to his shoulders for the SteveKO but Miles pops out the back again just like earlier!}
Terri Morasco: Miles really had the SteveKO scouted. Good work there. But will it pay off?
Vasco Dias: I doubt it. Wait...whats this?
Terri Morasco: MIles has Steve up on his shoulders and OH MY PEPTO BISMOL RED!!!! Bob’s move! His trainers finisher!! He got all of it!
Vasco Dias: Oh my god nooo he cant do that move!
Terri Morasco: Miles is crawling to make the cover! Crawl kid! Crawl! Crawl and shut that bastard up!
Vasco Dias: Your supposed to be impartial, Terri!
{Miles goes to drape an arm over Steve who has just enough wherewithal and ring awareness to roll himself away and out of the ring.}
Terri Morasco: DAMN IT! You KNOW if Miles got the cover after that Pepto Bismol Red we would have had a new champion.
Vasco Dias: There is no way to prove that Terri. Steve used his veteran savvy and rolled out of the way of the pin.
{Miles starts to hype the crowd up and signalling for a huge dive. The crowd cheer him on as Steve tries to shake things off.}
Terri Morasco: Miles is about to go high risk here. Hes going to put it all on the line!!
Vasco Dias: Oh no!! Im covering my eyes I cant watch
Terri Morasco: Miles with a full head of steam and he leaps and--
{THUD. CRUNCH.}
Terri Morasco: oh my god.
{Steve Awesome is just standing there staring remorselessly as Miles just lays on the ground completely motionless.}
Vasco Dias: What happened?
Terri Morasco: I….dont….can we get a replay?
{The replay screen pops up from a better angle and it shows Miles going for the big dive out of the ring and at the last second Steve Awesome simply steps away from the scene completely and allows Miles to come crashing down brutally on his head and neck. Almost like a car crash}
Terri Morasco: I think that bastard just didnt catch him. I dont know if im supposed to say that on the air…
Vasco Dias: Yeah he just outright didnt catch the kid on the dive and allowed him to land terribly on his neck. That’s not supposed to happen…
Terri Morasco: Im not sure what I’m supposed to say here….were Live and I honestly dont know whats going on.
Vasco Dias: Im going over there.
{Vasco sets his headset down and walks passed Steve and he yells at him. “What the hell did you do!? Are you out of your damn mind!?” Steve just smirks and the ref finally puts up the “X”. Medics start running down the ramp and the crowd boo as Steve just pretends to care and gives a big obnoxious “ooooooooopppps” and then laughs hysterically. He walks over to Miles and leans over him as the medics start to help him out.}
Steve Awesome: Welcome to the real world, kid…..
{He smirks as he grabs his belt. Bob Pooler comes rushing down to ringside to check on his protege. Medics are telling him some bad news and Bob Pooler, with eyes filled with tears of emotion, glares a hole in Steve Awesome.}
Terri Morasco: Well folks, I um...we are going to sort this out and get this show back on track. We will keep you updated on the health of Miles Reyes...but it doesnt look good. All because of that no good bastard, Steve Awesome.

Emma Danielson vs Brooklyn Madrox------------------------------------ Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and points in Heiress to the throne as well as the open weight belt! {The opening riff of “Slave to the Grind” plays as Emma Danielson walks out onto the stage, cracking her neck with a grin on her face. She rolls her wrists, eyes scanning the audience before she walks down to the ring, fistbumping with members of the audience. As she reaches the end of the entranceway, Emma speeds up, jumping and sliding beneath the bottom rope. She rolls to her feet, walking over to the corner, and climbs the turnbuckles, letting out a roar of joy that the crowd returns. Emma hops down off the turnbuckle, reaching over and testing the ropes before leaning back in the corner with a grin on her face as she waits for the bell.}Alison Valance: The challenger… Emma Dannielson! {The lights in the arena fade to black as purple and white strobe lights begin to flitter about the crowd. The frantic strobe effect suddenly stops as "In the Dark" blasts forth from the speakers of the auditorium and all spotlights turn to the top of the ramp to illuminate the figure standing there, eyes closed and head lowered.}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Centralia, Pennsylvania - weighing in at 112 pounds and representing the Pack ... she is the IWF OpenWeight Champion ... The Little Bad Wolf, BROOKLYYYYYYYN MAAAAAAADROOOOOOX! {Brooklyn looks up, a smile on her lips as she begins her walk to the ring. She seems to glide up the ring steps before stepping in to the ring and making her way to the center of the ring. Unhooking the Woman's World title from around her waste she holds it high in the air, grinning at her opponent and refusing to break eye contact.}
{the battle starts from the moment the bell rings. Emma puts her all into the match, almost getting the pin on brooklyn multiple times but Brooklyn always seems to have a little more in the tank.} { Brooklyn manages to hit Emma with a Balo’s Gaze followed by THE BIG BAD WOLF!} Terri Morasco: This could be it! {Brooklyn goes for the cover.

She hold her belt in the air as Emma lays on the mat.}------------------------------------  SEGMENT The winner of a future Extreme title shot cuts a backstage promo------------------------------------ {The cameras and Maria Iniesta catch up backstage with Hideaki Kazama in the locker room area. His wet hair and the fact that he’s wearing nothing but a towel betray the fact he’s just come out of the shower, as does his perplexed expression when he sees Maria, who launches right into things.}Maria Iniesta: Hideaki, after your win on the pre-show tonight against Thaddeus Isambard Bancroft, what do you have to say regarding your upcoming Extreme Title match? {Hideaki blinks, forcing himself to focus, and smiles brightly at Maria, speaking slowly, as if he’s actively trying to measure his words with each sentence.}Hideaki Kazama: I…well, I am looking forward to it, obviously. I know it will be a great challenge, and while Steve Awesome’s behavior earlier tonight was… {He pauses for a long moment, trying to find a diplomatic way to address the Extreme Champion’s actions.}Hideaki Kazama: It was unbecoming of a champion! BUT! I am sure that it is not a mistake he will repeat! I expect nothing less than his best, should he still hold that title when I get my chance! Maria Iniesta: I see. And what about the chance that he might not be the champion come your match? After all, Survival of the Fittest is coming up next month. Are you ready to change pace if that happens? {Hideaki nods eagerly, thumping his fist into his palm.}Hideaki Kazama: Of course! I will not shrink from any challenge! No matter who is Extreme Champion, when I have my opportunity, you will know what it is to challenge the Superstar of the Sky and Seas! {He grins, pausing, and sheepishly runs a hand through his hair before looking to Maria.}Hideaki Kazama: Um…can I finish drying? You…found me at a bad time… {Maria pauses, looking him up and down, and flashes a grin at him.}Maria Iniesta: Absolutely. Thank you for your time. {She walks away, but not before taking in the clueless-looking Kazama one more time with her eyes. He watches her go, sighing, and turns to head back into the shower, walking around the corner as we go back to Vasco and Terri.}------------------------------------  IWF STRONG STYLE CHAMPIONSHIP Almir Sayed vs James Gilmore(c)
------------------------------------
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
Alison Valance: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the IWF STRONGSTYLE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
{ “Snake Charmer” by Annon Domini begins to play as Haseem steps out through the curtain to boos from the live audience. }
Haseem: It is my honor, my privilege, my sacred duty to introduce to you the MONEY MAKER!!! ALMIR!!! SAYED!!!
{ With that, Almir steps out through the curtain with arms thrown out and his head held back. The crowd boos him like crazy as he looks out with a smile. Together the two men head down the ramp and toward the ring. Haseem runs ahead to hold down the second rope for his companion. Almir enters the ring and drops to his knees in the center, arms out as Haseem demands the crowd respect him! }
Terri Morasco: StrongStyle title match comin' up in just a short-short!
Vasco Dias: Almir's been red-hot since coming into IWF!
Terri Morasco: But he's gonna have his hands full against James tonight! What a FINE champion he's been since beating Warren Kane back in June!
Vasco Dias: I'll give him credit for that, BUT...Almir is hungry, he's opportunistic--
Terri Morasco: --and he's sneaky!
{ The opening intro to “Shell Shocked” begins to play as we see a video package showcasing James Gilmore from his early childhood days--via black-and-white home movie footage as well as still photos--to his days as a high school and, later in life, a a student of history at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. }
“Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked…”
{ We then see distorted images of Gilmore during his early wrestling career, including images from his successful tag-team run on the independent circuit. The images, as well as the song, start to fuzz out like an old analog TV as images from his IWF career flash through before turning itself off. }
The Voice of James Gilmore:
“Get your popcorn ready, dudes and dudettes! Time for some good ol’-fashioned entertainment!!”
{ Suddenly, jets of water burst from all sides as the opening strains to the Steppenwolf classic “Born to be Wild” begins to play. As a spotlight shines, we see the image of James Gilmore as he rides onto the stage in a custom-built patriotic-themed Harley-Davidson, complete with "TRUMP 2020" decals and "#MAGA" on his rear license plate. As he revs the motorcycle’s powerful motor, more jets of water shoot up from all sides as we get a closer look at his wrestling attire. }
“Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space”
{ Tonight, the Islander alum wears attire that looks very reminiscent of what men wore during the era of the Old West--complete with a white long-brimmed hat and even a cigar! The crowd absolutely eats it all up as James tips his hat before revving his engine and driving down the ramp. }
“I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die”
{ Gilmore stops just a few feet short of the ring and takes off the bandana that serves as his facemask and tossing his hat into the crowd. }
“Born to be wild
Born to be wild...”
{ James continues to pose for the fans, taking in the moments around him with wonder as he awaits for the bell to sound. }
Alison Valance: Introducing his opponent, from--
{ Haseem tries to snatch the microphone away from Alison, who doesn’t want to hear anything about James Gilmore being the StrongStyle champion! The ex-Islander, in the confusion, starts attacking Almir as Blue Shoes calls for the bell! }
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
{ For the first five minutes of the match, it was all James Gilmore. He kept the normally high-flying Almir grounded with a barrage of boxing punches to the body and face that reel him into the corner. Gilmore shoots Sayed into the ropes, and the latter eats a pair of dropkicks for breakfast and lunch! JJ then quickly shows off his improved wrestling skills, nailing Almir with a trio of suplexes of varying degrees--a snap, vertical, and German variety--that score him a quick two count! }
Terri Morasco: JJ ain’t wastin’ any time here!
Vasco Dias: An unfair advantage, Terri!
Terri Morasco: After he was nearly the victim of a sneak attack last week?! I’d say it’s tit for tat!
{ Gilmore continues the onslaught, firing away with open-handed rights and lefts. Yet he winds up being distracted by Haseem at ringside, which gives Almir plenty of opportunity to cash in. As we hit the 8:30 mark, Sayed is the one in control, and he doesn’t disappoint as he dazzles JJ with his own high-flying brand of wrestling, nailing the Islander alum with a pair of deep armdrag takedowns, followed by a running boot to the face, a flying forearm, and a slingshot clothesline off the ropes that gets him a two-count. }
Vasco Dias: Look at Almir go!
Terri Morasco: If he thinks he’s got Gilmore right where he wants him, he’s gonna have another thing comin’!
{ Yup, Terri’s right. Almir goes to the well one too many times when he tries to fly off the top buckle and hit JJ with a senton...only for the StrongStyle champ to get the knees up in time! Haseem cringes as we hit ten minutes, and neither man is able to gain an advantage over the other, trading near falls and wrestling moves. At 11:15, Haseem tries to interject himself into the match by grabbing Gilmore’s ankles, tripping him just as he attempts a spear! Blue Shoes sees this and points to Almir’s friend, giving him the umpire’s ejection signal! }
Blue: You! You’re gone!
Haseem: WHAT!?!
Blue Shoes: You heard me, YOU’RE GONE!!
{ Sayed is pissed. As James kneels in the opposite corner, trying to plan his next move, Almir and Blue Shoes continue the argument as several Redshirts arrive to escort Haseem out of the ringside area! }
Vasco Dias: NOOOO!!!! This is not fair!!
Terri Morasco: Referee’s discretion! This is gonna be a fair fight, whether Almir likes it or not!!
{ JJ flips over the top rope and onto the apron as Almir’s back is still turned; without warning, Gilmore immediatly flips back into the ring and PLASTERS Sayed with a backshoot lariat, the Baltimore crowd roaring as they have never seen that maneuver before! }
Vasco Dias: What...what was THAT!?!
Terri Morasco: JJ calls that move the Power Wave!
{ The champion goes for the pin… }
1…!
2…!!
THREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW....!!!!!!!!
Vasco Dias: YES!!!
Terri Morasco: Almir just got the shoulder up, and JJ can’t believe it!!
{ Gilmore looks perplexed as Blue Shoes holds up two fingers! Gritting his teeth, James pulls Almir back to his feet as the match approaches the 12:30 mark. Gilmore charges forward and makes an attempt at his patented Shellshocker reverse hurracanrana...but Almir anticipates the move and winds up doing an insane backflip, landing on his feet as James winds up on all fours! }
Terri Morasco: Look at THAT!!
Vasco Dias: Almir countered the Shellshocker!?! I’m impressed!!
Terri Morasco: And Gilmore is dumbfounded!!!
{ Sensing his chance, Almir immediatly grabs Gilmore by the beard and nearly DECAPITATES him with the rip cord clothesline called the MONEY MAKER!!! James is laid out spread-eagle in the middle of the ring as Sayed goes for the cover! }
1…!
2…!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
{ The fans roar into a massive round of boos! }
Vasco Dias: NEW CHAMPION!!! ALMIR DID THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Alison Valance: Here is your winner...and the NEW IWF StrongStyle Champion, ALMIR SAYED!!!
{ “Snake Charmer” plays as Sayed grabs the StrongStyle belt and makes a hasty exit to avoid being pelted with popcorn and other things! James sits up and shakes his head, wondering how in the hell somebody managed to counter his signature move! }

From there Kim, Viv and Fiona made several quick tags as they worked over Mandi Matthews on their side of the ring. Amber tried several times to break it up but the referee always forced her back. Eventually Mandi was able to escape and make a hot tag to Amber who rushed into the ring hitting successive Interceptors on all three of her opponents. Amber then squared off with Fiona. The two working to get the advantage. Fiona would grab the Iron Claw but Amber broke out of it and hit the Broadside. Amber would tag out to Candy as Fiona tagged out to Kim.

Mandi went right for Viv after recovering but Viv would tag out to Fiona who hit the Innuendo. Amber broke up that pin attempt. Fiona would tag Vivienne back in with Mandi looking to tag out. }Vasco Dias: These women have been going back and forth for fifteen minutes! Terri Morasco: Mandi needs to get out of there, she’s taken the brunt of the damage for her team! Vasco Dias: It’s now or never with Heiress points on the line! { Mandi pulls herself up on the ropes near her partners and goes to make a tag but Vivienne comes in and German suplexes Mandi half way across the ring.

IRON MAN MATCH Dean Harper vs Rob Diamond(c)
------------------------------------
{ A promo package set to Slipknot’s “Solway Firth” begins to play showing us the journey to this moment. We see pieces of footage from Rob Diamond vs Dean Harper’s other two matches. Each hitting their big signatures moves before ultimately having the same finish, Dean pinning Rob clean in the ring. We then see footage of Rob in the ring from three weeks ago laying down the challenge, Dean accepting. Their match at Open Fight Night, just as hard hitting as the last but ending with Dean Harper rolling Rob Diamond up grabbing something a little extra for leverage. We move on to last week, the war of words between Rob and Dean as the stipulation is decided. As the song really kicks in hard we see highlights from all three matches. Diamond Cutters, Screaming from the Sky and finally the two men spliced together to be face to face… }
Vasco Dias: This is huge Terri!
Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond has had this weight on his shoulder for a year now. It started out as wanting to avenge his fallen friend to just a matter of pride!
Vasco Dias: Rob may have biten off more than he can chew tonight, he’s never beaten Dean, much like his friend, Spike.
Terri Morasco: He hasn’t but Dean couldn’t beat Rob clean two weeks ago like he did the other two times. So that has to say something.
Vasco Dias: I think all it says is Dean did what he had to do to get this match for the World title.
{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.}
Terri Morasco: This crowd is not happy to see Dean Harper tonight!
Vasco Dias: They can hate him all they like, he’s one of the best in the business today!
Terri Morasco: You cannot doubt Dean’s talent but will his father be making his presence felt? Remember he showed up last month to lay Steve Awesome out?
Vasco Dias: If Angel Blake shows up to help his son win then he’d be doing us all a big favor! Put this Being InFamous thing down!
Terri Morasco: Amazing how you love them one week and hate them the next.
Vasco Dias: I’m allowed to change my mind.
{ The lights in the arena start to strobe pink when- }
"YOO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!"
{ Wannabe by Spice Girls the Punk Goes 90's version hits the loud speakers. Rob Diamond comes strutting out through the curtain and does a little spin on his heels before coming to a stop. }
Alison Valance: On his way to the ring, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he is the BLOOD SOAKED CINDERELLA OF PRO WRESTLING!!! ROB DIAMOND!!!!
{ Rob looks out into the crowd with a shit eating grin on his face before marching down toward the ring. He runs up the steps and hops right into the ring doing another little spin before running up to the ropes, putting one foot on the second rope and throwing up the metal horns nodding his head. He spins off the ropes and falls back into one of the corners of the ring, kicking up his legs to rest on the second rope and looks quite relaxed. }
Vasco Dias: Listen to that reaction. What a bunch of mark!
Terri Morasco: Vasco!
Vasco Dias: Hey, all I’m saying is they better settle down, Rob isn’t leaving here with the World title.
Terri Morasco: I think Rob has a very good chance of doing just that.
Vasco Dias: You’d be wrong.
Terri Morasco: Rob has been training extra hard lately, preparing for this match. I’m told he even spent a week at the Conway’s private facility as well as some time with Pandora.
Vasco Dias: Oh good for him! You can’t train for Dean. Dean is an animal, he’s unpredictable, all the training in the world can’t prepare you for Dean Harper!
{ We go to Alison Valance who is standing in the ring. }
Alison Valance: The following contest is an IRON MAN MATCH! With a 30 minute time limit and it is for the IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! To my left is the challenger-
{ Valance isn’t able to finish her introductions as Rob explodes out of his corner and spears Dean through the ropes and to the outside! Blue Shoes immediately calls for the bell to start the match! }
Vasco Dias: Rob isn’t waiting!!!
Terri Morasco: Dean has clearly gotten under his skin!
{ The two men roll around on the outside of the ring, each throwing punches like crazy as Blue Shoes hops out and tries to seperate them. }
Terri Morasco: Blue Shoes is historically lenient but I wonder how long he will let this last!?
Vasco Dias: This is for the Men’s World title so he will let the rules slide as much as he can!
{ Blue Shoes finally gets them to seperate but it’s Dean’s turn to spear Rob and drive him back first into the steel crowd barrier. Rob throws down shovels over the back of Dean who is laying in some body punches. Blue Shoes again tries to pull them apart but this time they both shove him away and carry on with the slug fest. }
Vasco Dias: This is out of control! I love it!
{ Dean lays in some stiff knees but Rob just straight up cold cocks Dean and sends him stumbling backward. Rob runs in and hits a drop kick that sends Dean into the crowd barrier now. Blue Shoes is back and trying to force Rob into the ring but instead Rob reaches into the crowd and grabs a steel chair! }
Terri Morasco: What the hell is Rob doing!?
Vasco Dias: It looks like he’s about to take out some of his frustration on Dean!
Terri Morasco: Blue Shoes needs to get this under control!
{ Dean stands up and smirk. He points at his head and says “COME ON PUMPKIN!” Rob hesitates as the crowd cheers for him to do it. Blue Shoes grabs for the chair but Rob rips it away and wraps it over the crown of Dean Harper’s skull!!! }
Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!!!!
Terri Morasco: JESUS!!!
{ Blue Shoes has no choice but to call for the bell and give Dean Harper a 1 in the win column. }
Terri Morasco: Dean Harper gets the first win of the match via DQ.
Vasco Dias: Yeah but what kind of damage did Rob just cause!? Dean is one up but will he be able to recover?
Teri Morasco: There’s a lot of time left in this match but if Dean has a concussion he’s going to have a hard time making a come back.
{ Rob throws the chair down and pulls Dean up to his feet. Rob plants a kiss on the cheek of Harper and whips him hard back into the ring. Rob rolls in after him as Blue Shoes follows. Rob waits for Dean to stand. Harper is struggling. Finally Dean reaches his feet and Rob grabs him for a DIAMOND CUTTER! Rob makes the cover and Blue Shoes hesitates, feeling dejected but finally makes the count. ONE! TWO! THRE-NO! KICK OUT! }
Vasco Dias: Harper kicked out!?
Terri Morasco: How in the hell!?
Vasco Dias: Dean wants to win just as bad as Rob.
Terri Morasco: But his head must be pounding!?
Vasco Dias: Apparently that isn’t going to stop Dean tonight.
{ Rob looks at Blue Shoes who holds up two fingers. Rob looks back to Dean with a look of rage and quickly mounts him and begins to rain down elbow strikes as Dean tries to defend himself. Blue Shoes is looking for Dean’s guard to drop but so far he’s keeping his hands up. }
Terri Morasco: This is the most vicious we’ve seen Rob Diamond in a long time!
Vasco Dias: I love this side of Rob if I’m being honest.
Terri Morasco: Of course you do!
{ Rob pops off a Dean and lets out a yell. He grab Harper by the head and pulls him up to his feet. Rob hits a crotch chop and goes for another Diamond Cutter but Dean pushes him off into Blue Shoes! Blue Shoes stumbles and turns giving Dean an opening to hit a low blow so viciously it actually takes Rob off his feet for a moment and then he hooks the leg and rolls Rob into a pin! Blue Shoes launches into action and counts ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Vasco Dias: Dean is up two to nothing!
Terri Morasco: After a low blow!
Vasco Dias: Blue Shoes didn’t see it so it didn’t happen!
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe this.
{ Dean pops up, a little groggy but smiles as Rob rolls onto his hands and knees. }
Vasco Dias: Dean really hit Rob with everything he had.
Terri Morasco: Evening the odds a little bit after that chair shot.
Vasco Dias: I bet Rob wishes he didn’t do that now.
{ Rob finally starts to get up and Dean charges in with a big time sling blade on Rob! Dean seems like he’s finally starting to shake off the effects of the chair shot as he gets to his feet and starts to stomp a mud hole in the chest of Rob Diamond. Blue Shoes checks to make sure Rob is still aware and moving but Diamond is currently helpless beneath the boots. }
Vasco Dias: Now Dean is turning up the heat.
Terri Morasco: Dean is a like a man possessed!
{ Dean drops down onto Rob and starts laying in the open fist strikes. Blue Shoes is watching the punches checking on the open fist. Dean takes Rob by the head and lays in a hard head butt! }
Vasco Dias: Dean is fighting with everything he has tonight!
Terri Morasco: I wasn’t sure he’d be able to continue after that chair shot but Dean is in total control right now!
{ Dean pulls Rob up to his feet and runs him to the ropes launching Rob over the top rope and to the outside! Rob starts to get back up as Dean hits the ropes and comes flying across the ring leaping onto the second rope, springing and turning up to the third and moonsulting out of the ring grabbing Rob on the outside with UP IS DOWN!!!! }
Vasco Dias: UP IS DOWN!!!!
Terri Morasco: Dean just spring boarded to the top rope with a twist and hit a moonsult ddt on the outside!!!
Vasco Dias: That was damn impressive!
{ Dean pops up to his feet and slaps a Being InFamous sign out of fans hand and throws it on the ground. Dean then stomps Rob a few times on the chest before pulling him up and running Rob face first into a ring post! }
Terri Morasco: Dean is trying to draw some blood!
Vasco Dias: He’s on the right path!
{ Dean pulls Rob back up to his feet and plants a big kiss right on his lips before drilling him with an elbow strike. }
Vasco Dias: Dean returning the kiss from earlier!
Terri Morasco: I’m sure Mama Spike won’t appreciate that!
{ Dean hits a knee lift into the gut of Rob then tucks his head and power bombs Rob back first into the apron! }
Vasco Dias: Rob goes back first into the hardest part of the ring!
{ Dean pulls Rob up again and rolls him back into the ring. Rob seems to be completely out of it while Blue Shoes checks on him. Dean climbs up onto the apron and then to the top rope. Dean fires off his own crotch chop before leaping off the top rope with SCREAMING FROM THE SKY!!! }
Terri Morasco: 630 SENTON!!!!
Vasco Dias: DAMN!!!
{ Dean hooks both of Rob’s legs for the cover as Blue Shoes slides in to make the count. ONE! TWO! THRE-KICK OUT!!!! }
Vasco Dias: NO WAY!!!!
Terri Morasco: Dean kicked out of a Diamond Cutter earlier, Rob kicked out of Screaming from the Sky! This is insane!
Vasco Dias: This is how bad they want the World title!
{ Dean mounts Rob again and lays in some more punches. Dean pulls Rob up, Dean charges for the ropes and springboards off with another Up is Down but Rob catches him in mid air with a DIAMOND CUTTER!!!! }
Terri Morasco: NO WAY!!!!
Vasco Dias: That is crazy!!!
{ Rob makes the cover after a few moments of recovery time. Blue Shoes drops in for the count and it’s ONE! TWO! THRE-KICK OUT!!!! }
Terri Morasco: COME ON!?
Vasco Dias: Dean kicked out of a second Diamond Cutter!
Terri Moraso: I can’t believe it!
{ Rob is very slow back to his feet, Dean follows suit but they’re both showing signs of wear and tear. Rob suddenly grabs Dean with a hip toss and hits the knuckle shuffle without all the fanfare! }
Vasco Dias: Rob going to the first move of doom!
{ Rob rips Dean off the mat and hits a spinning backfist! Then an atomic drop followed by a lunging clothesline!!! Rob starts to hulk up as the crowd cheers. }
Vasco Dias: Rob is looking to hit all five moves of doom in a row!
