Infinite Energy Center Duluth, Georgia

SEGMENT
Preshow

------------------------------------

{the camera pans through the crowd while “War Pigs” - Black Sabbath (An-Ten-Nae Remix)” the official song of Survival of the Fittest plays, catching some signs in the stadium “Little Bad Wolf!” “Step on Me Rosa” “Being Infamous Is Fine” “Emma or we Riot” “We Miss Cross” “Abraxes!” “Conway 2k always” “Gilmore World Champ!!”}

Summer Thompson: Hello and welcome to 2019 Survival of the Fittest pre-show. Hi guys gals and nonbinary pals! How are you all doing? Are you excited? This is honestly my favorite Pay Per View of the year! How often do we have all champions in the same match?

{Camera pans to the crowd right behind Summer who scream and jump up and down}

Summer Thompson: But we have to get rolling, don’t we? A lot is happening tonight and I don’t assume things are going to slow down for us.

Rayne: It is a pretty exciting card tonight.

Uriel Black: I agree. We have some hard hitters in the main event and it is anyone’s guess how that is going to turn out.

Robert Henderson: For Once, I agree with you.

{Summer giggles.}

Summer Thompson: Alright, let’s start with the preshow match. Dirk Manly versus Billie Parris. Thoughts?

Rayne: Dirk Manly is the clear winner here. Billie may have assisted Steve Awesome in beating down Nighthawk but he can’t hope to win against someone like Dirk.

Uriel Black: I have to agree with you.
Rayne: Stop agreeing with me.

Uriel Black: I’m just trying to be nice..

Rayne: I don’t trust you.

Summer Thompson: He’s just being nice, Rayne.

Rayne: I doubt that.

Uriel Black: Hurtful

Robert Henderson: Can we not have one preshow panel without you two fighting?

Rayne: No one asked you, Robert.

Summer Thompson: Okay… next match on the card is the first semi final of the Heiress to the throne. Brooklyn versus Fiona. Who are we feeling?

Rayne: Brooklyn. She is the longest reigning women’s champion we’ve ever had. She’s the clear winner here.

Uriel Black: She’s certainly got the anger to prove herself here.

Robert Henderson: I don’t think you can count out Fiona here. She has been really applying herself since returning.

Summer Thompson: So skipping ahead slight, Vivienne and Emma?

Robert Henderson: I think Vivienne wants to get to the top to really feel like the last year of pain has meant something.

Uriel Black: I think Vivienne versus Brooklyn Take 2 could be something to write home about.

Rayne: I might not like Emma much as a person but you can’t discount her in a match like this. It’s possible she might bring the whole thing home.

Summer Thompson: Alright, now down to the ring fro the preshow match. See you soon.


------------------------------------

PRESHOW MATCH
Dirk Manly vs Billie Parris

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Terri Morasco: It is a preshow match and I can say I’m interested to see how this one goes.

Vasco Dias: It’s only going to end one way and thinking otherwise is a waste of time.

{As “Everythig is awesome” starts to play Billie steps onto the ramp, flanked by his managers/siblings before walking down to the ring giving fans high fives and fist bumps before waiting in his corner for the match to start}

Alison Valance: On his way down to the ring first, weighing in at 216 pounds from Edan, South Dakota Billie Parris!!

Vasco Dias: Billie has not been quiet on how he thinks this is going to go. He’s wrong but it’s cute that he thinks otherwise.

Terri Morasco: He attacked Nighthawk, Vasco.

Vasco Dias: who hasn’t at this point?

{ The IWFN logo appears on the screen as “American Idiot” begins to play at the entire arena erupts into rapturous boos as Dirk Manly emerges from behind the curtain onto the stage. Dirk is quickly followed by a cameraman and a personal assistant. As Dirk makes his way down to the ring his PA passes him a flask which he tosses back at them nonchalantly as he sneers at the nearby fans. Dirk climbs into the ring, followed by his PA who does some last minute touch ups to his moustache before carefully removing his sunglasses and returning to ringside with the IWFN cameraman as Dirk prepares for the start of the match. }
Alison Valance: and finally on his way down to the ring, weighing in at 220 pounds from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dirk Manly!!

Terri Morasco: Dirk has made a pretty impressive introduction to wrestling here at IWF.

Vasco Dias: Of course he has. Can you imagine anyone else coming in and doing what he’s done?

{The Ref takes a step back and calls for the bell. The two men walk out of their corner and slowly circle each other. Dirk hits him with a elbow smash. Billie hits the ropes but gets back up. Dirk looks highly offened that Billie did not just go down.

Vasco Dias: How dare Billie not just take it like a jobber!

Terri Morasco: Vasco, shut up.

{Dirk hits him with a shootkick followed by a Cold Copy.}

Vasco Dias: Dirk is going to show Billie what a true star is!

Terri Morasco: You’re detestable, you know that?

{Dirk backs off slightly and hits Billie with a Ratings Spike.}

Terri Morasco: Ow.

Vasco Dias: that’s all you can say? Ow? Can’t you marvel at Dirk’s wonderful form?

Terri Morasco: No?

Vasco Dias: You’re terrible, Terri. The worst.

{Billie gets back up shakily and Dirk hits him with a BREAKING NEWS!.}

Terri Morasco: Oh, that looks painful.

{dirk lazily goes for the pin
1
2
3.}

Vasco Dias: Yes! Woo!

Alison Valance: Your winner Dirk Manly!

{Dirk snaps his fingers and he is getting his makeup touched up and handed a glass of whiskey.}

Terri Morasco: now back to the preshow panel.

Preshow

------------------------------------

{the camera comes back to the preshow panel with Uriel whispering something into Summer’s ear as she giggles whil robbery and Rayne look annoyed.}

Rayne: A-HAM!

Summer Thompson: Oh… sorry!

{Summer blushes and Uriel goes and sits down with a smirk.}

Rayne: So moving forward…

Summer Thompson: Right. Right. Jack Ferriman and Chance Craven. What are you all thinking?

Rayne: I think Jack is the favorite to win here. He’s got the experience and the unhinged nature.

Uriel Black: I actually think Chance might have a shot here. He’s an unknown factor. Not to mention being a bigger man to Jack’s small frame… There’s not a whole lot different way this can go.

Robert Henderson: Size isn’t everything.

Uriel Black: Depends on who you ask.

{Summer giggles.}

Summer Thompson: Alright, um… Abraxes and Hideaki? Who are we feeling?

Rayne: Personally I think Hideaki has a strong presence here and could really go all the way here. Abraxes is scary, sure, but that does not mean he is going to get a win.

Uriel Black: You’d be surprised how far being scary can carry you.

Rayne: I’ll stab you in the leg with this pen.

Summer Thompson: Rayne…

Rayne: I get you’re charmed but that doesn’t mean the rest of us are.

{Summer looks down.}

Uriel Black: Abraxes seems like the kind of guy who has a lot more going on than just being scary.

Robert Henderson: I feel Hideaki’s honor might hold him back in this match but regardless on how it turns out I feel things will be close.

Summer Thompson: Okay… Extinction Event. Who wins? Who retains?

Rayne: Brooklyn. I think she is going to go in for an early pin and remove herself from things quickly.

Uriel Black: As much as I hate to admit it, I think Gilmore has a real shot at the world title.

Robert Henderson: I think The Conways might be one of the first couples to have a title at the same time.

Summer Thompson: They aren’t the first couple.

Robert Henderson: At the --

Uriel Black: Dean Harper and Maxine Valentine.

Rayne: Pandora Freeman and Spike Kane.

Summer Thompson: Vivienne Rodgers and Xavier Cross.

Uriel Black: Rowan MacDonnough and Brooklyn Madrox.

Summer Thompson: Xavier Cross and Dean Harper.

Robert Henderson: That’s not a –

Rayne: Twitter certain think it is.

Uriel Black: Dean Harper and Warren Kane if we include the Super Special Awesome belt.

Rayne: Spike Kane and Rob Diamond? They were tag team partners,

Summer Thompson: I don’t know if that one is cannon but I’ll count it.

Uriel Black: Tumblr certainly does.

Robert Henderson: You three are impossible to work with!

Summer Thompson: Well, that’s all the time we have. Enjoy Survival of the Fittest folks!

Uriel Black: there has to be some I’m forgetting.

Rayne: Oh what about ---

HEIRESS TO THE THRONE
First Semi Final
Fiona McFly vs Brooklyn Madrox

------------------------------------

[DING-DING-DING!!!]

 {The lights go dark again, the arena filling with swirling tones of purple light on black. It is a much darker tone than her usual fanfare. The mood is tense, and the arena fills with the screeching of crows. At first it seems that maybe they are coming over the sound system… but it is quickly apparent that a huge flock of large crows – maybe ravens? – have suddenly begun swooping through the rafters of the stadium. A long, distorted tone rings through the arena as purple smoke floods the ramp… and "In The Dark" by The Birthday Massacre begins to play.}

Alison Valance: Representing The Pack, from Centralia, Pennsylvania – weighing in at 112 pounds: The Little Bad Wolf, BROOKLYYYYYYN MAAAAAADROOOOOX!

{A wind seems to kick up from the entrance arena, blowing the smoke through the audience, revealing Brooklyn Madrox standing there in the dark mist – her usual attire covered by what appears to be a dress of raven feathers. She stands there, grinning with a cruel gleam in her eye as she stares down the ramp. After a few moments, she strides towards the ring while maintaining eye contact with her challenger. She shrugs off the dress after climbing onto the apron. The crows land around her, perching on the ropes as she ducks under the top. She takes to the center of the ring and slowly spins, closing her eyes and chuckling as the crows take flight, swirling around the ring. When she stops, the sound of a thunderclap rings through the arena, causing the crows to fly off and vanish.}

Terri Morasco:  Here we go, fans!  The first of the Heiress semi-finals, and the longest-reigning Women’s World Champion is comin’ out here, lookin’ to regain her dominance!

Vasco Dias:  It ain’t gonna be easy, Terri!  Brook’s lookin’ primed and ready as usual!

Terri Morasco:  Could she wind up in the Heiress finals and go into the upcoming Extinction Event as the overall winner!?!

{ The lights go out, and we see a combination of eerie green lighting and fog fill the entire arena. Suddenly, a dancer, clad in green, walks onto the stage and performs a tap dance routine to an original Celtic piece, stopping to look at herself in front of a giant mirror--which projects an image of a very young Fiona McFly, aged seven, standing in front of a proud Royal Navy sailor as the first excerpt from the final tweet given by famed actor Leonard Nimoy is shown on the big screen above. }

"A life is like a garden..."

{ As the music increases in intensity, a second dancer, sporting a silver uniform, performs a slightly longer version of the same tap dance routine until stopping to look at the mirror--which then projects Fiona as a preteen, posing with her first go-kart racing trophy she'd won in the summer of 1994 at the age of 12. The second excerpt from the "Star Trek" legend's tweet is shown as the photo in the mirror fades into nothingness... }

"Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved..."

{ A third dancer, wearing a gold uniform, walks onto the stage to join the other two in a frenzied "Lord of the Dance"-style routine as the music reaches its crescendo. At this point, all three dancers stop to look at the mirror once again--this time, it projects an image of Fiona sporting blonde hair, wearing her old University of Wisconsin, followed by a photo of her beating up on Ana Valentine, her first IWF opponent, as the final except for Nimoy's tweet is displayed. }

"...except in memory."

{ As the dancers begin their final tap dance, the four different photographs, all black-and-white, fade in and out as the tune reaches its climax before coming to a stop. The trip walks over to the end of the stage to grab a giant mallet; as a group, they carry the object over and, with all their combined strength, aim it directly at the glass, which shatters into pieces. At this moment, the clean version of Halestorm's "Love Bites (So Do I)" begins to play as Fiona McFly, with a silver whip in hand, leaps through the busted mirror, prompting pyrotechnics to go off from the top ends of the stadium as a burst of confetti is shot from the stage. } 

"Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
That say you fail the test
You don't have what she needs
I'll slither like a viper
And get you by the neck
I know a thousand ways to help you forget about her
That chick can eat her heart out

Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites..."

{ With the dancers tapping to her entrance theme, Fiona smiles lovingly as she twirls along with the dancers in her own routine before walking down to the ring, hugging fans along the way as the lights come back on. Before hopping into the ring, she gives the whip to a lucky soul as a souvenir. }

Terri Morasco:  This place has gone bananas!!!

Vasco Dias:  I can’t hear you!!  I can’t hear you…!!!

Terri Morasco:  Fiona is looking to reach new heights, but she knows she’s got a tough, tough test ahead of her!

[DING-DING-DING!!!]

{ Fiona and Brooklyn really poured their hearts out into this particular match.  Five minutes in, Brooklyn finds herself in control as she proves why she was the longest-reigning Women’s World Champion in IWF history, showing off her brand of unconventional footwork as she hits Fiona with a variety of kicks and punches to her face!  She follows that combination up with a pair of Japanese armdrag takedowns and a devastating cross arm-breaker with repeated strikes to the back of McFly’s neck--specifically, on that spot where she had the pinched nerve last year! Fiona cries out as Brooklyn applies a bridging German suplex that gets her a two-count. }

Vasco Dias:  We have a screamer!!

Terri Morasco:  Brooklyn’s going for that surgically-repaired neck area!

{ But Fiona guts it out and fights back--hard.  After duking it out outside the ring, Fiona dumps Madrox back in at Blue Shoes’ count as it reaches six!  We’re ten minutes in now and the Northern Irishwoman, for what it’s worth, is controlling Brooklyn! Fiona uses her mixed martial arts training to its fullest, firing off a flurry of punches and kicks to Madrox’ body and temples, then proceeds to apply a pair of belly-to-belly suplexes!  Eventually, Fiona uses a lesson she learned from her late husband Jack Gaither by running toward the ropes, springing off the third strand, and PLASTERING her opponent with a huge wheel kick that gets her a two-count! The force of the impact is so severe, we see blood coming from the ex-Pack member’s lips! }

Vasco Dias:  HOLY JESUS!!!

Terri Morasco:  The roof of the Infinite Energy Center is exploding!!  Fiona has sent a loud and clear message--she ain’t fooling around!!

{ We’re now fifteen minutes in, and the match becomes a war of attrition.  The two women trade shots back and forth, with Brooklyn giving Fiona a broken nose when she plants the latter with her patented superkick called the Balor’s Gaze!  Brooklyn goes for the cover… }

1…!

2....!!

THREEEE--NOOOO!!!!!!

{ Brooklyn stands up pissed, barking at Blue Shoes over his apparently slow counting!  He holds up the dreaded two fingers and warns the former World champ that Fiona is about to pull herself back to her feet!  With blood coming from her nose, McFly shakes her head as she senses Brooklyn charging at her, ready to end the match altogether!  Instead, Brooklyn winds up eating an Iron Claw for early Thanksgiving dinner!! }

Terri Morasco:  The Claw! The Jack Gaither Iron Claw!!  This was Fiona’s husband’s signature move, and now she’s got Brooklyn paralyzed!!!

Vasco Dias:  This can’t be happenin’, GOD DAMMIT!!!

{ It is happening, Dias...Fiona digs her nails firmly into Madrox’ temples!  The crowd roars to life as Blue Shoes checks in; then Fiona releases the hold and nails her opponent with a discus punch before going for the pin attempt… }

1…!

2....!!

THREEEEEEEEAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vasco Dias:  YEAH!!!

Terri Morasco:  Fiona can’t believe it!  She darn near had the match won!!!

{ Lots of non-G-rated thoughts are racing through Fiona’s mind as Blue Shoes gives her the same two-fingered treatment!  Fiona doesn’t question the call and proceeds to get back to work...but as she pulls Brooklyn back to her feet, Madrox surprises her with a stiff sidekick to her victim’s face, followed up by a forearm strike… }

Terri Morasco:  Unholy Trinity comin’ up!!

Vasco Dias: Oh, baby...OH!!!  SHIT, NO!!!!

Terri Morasco:  LOOK AT THIS!!!

{ ...but just as Madrox was about to finish the Unholy Trinity combination with her patented cutter, Fiona squirms out of the danger!  The crowd goes apeshit as McFly kicks Madrox in the ribs and, utilising another move from Jack’s former repertoire, sends Brooklyn to the canvas with a corkscrew stunner out of nowhere!! }

Terri Morasco:  PHOENIX DOWN! PHOENIX DOWN!!!

Vasco Dias:  NO FREAKIN’ WAY!?!

Terri Morasco:  THIS COULD BE A HUGE UPSET!!!

{ Fiona quickly leans over and hooks Brooklyn’s leg… }

1…!

2…!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DING-DING-DING!!!]

Terri Morasco:  SHE GOT HER!!!

Vasco Dias:  UN-BLEEPIN’-REAL!!!!

{ The fans leap to their feet as Alison Valance gets on the stick!! }

Alison Valance:  Here is your winner, and advancing to the finals of the 2019 Heiress to the Throne….FIOOOOOONA MCFLYYYY!!!!

{ “Love Bites (So Do I)” begins playing as Fiona is on her knees, overcome with great joy and taking in the moments she’s earned!  She realises that she had beaten the longest-reigning Women’s World Champion in IWF history, a fact that makes her smile from ear to ear!! }

Terri Morasco:  Look at that kisser!!  Fiona has just picked up the biggest win of her IWF career!!

Vasco Dias:  She hasn’t won the damn tournament just yet!  She’s got to deal with either Vivienne Rodgers or Emma Danielson!!

Terri Morasco:  Regardless of who wins or loses in the Heiress Finals, this is a watershed moment in Fiona’s life!!!

{ Fiona slowly marches towards the backstage area, fully congizant of the fact that she’s got one more match left! }


------------------------------------

SINGLES MATCH
Chance Craven vs Jack Ferriman

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Terri Morasco: I will admit I was surprised to see this match on the card.

Vasco Dias: We have two new guys, it makes sense to make room for them on the card.

{What's Up Danger begins to play as the lights in the arena dim. A black and white image of Jack appears on the Imperatron as Jack slowly steps out onto the ramp, adjusting thelong black coat he is wearing over his ring gear and cracking his neck. He slowly turns his head as he gazes around the arena before setting his eyes on the ring, slowly walking down the ramp and stepping easily through the ropes. He flexes his shoulders as he turns in a slow circle before settling into his corner, tilting his head Michael Meyers style as he stares down the referee.}

Alison Valance: On his way down to the ring first, weighing in at 180 pounds from Seattle, Jack Farriman!

Vasco Dias: It’s interesting to see Jack here. His out of ring and in ring personality is always so different

Terri Morasco: Either way he is not someone to take lightly.

{The kicks of "Front Toward Enemy" by Incendiary blast through the speakers and Chance throws opens the curtain and darts out like a shot...With fire in his eyes he looks at the crowd...He pops his neck and walks to the ring in a haze...never taking his eyes off the ring. He slaps hands with fans that care to reach out. He gets to the ring and sits on the apron and rolls under the bottom rope and slides to the corner. He grabs the ropes and pulls himself up from the turnbuckle and waits to fight. He's seething...ready for the match to start...}

Alison Valance: and finally on his way down to the ring, weighing in at 320 pounds from fort worth, Chance Craven!

Terri Morasco: chance looks ready to go.

Vasco Dias: You say that every match.

{The Ref takes a step back and calls for the bell. The two men walk out of their corner and slowly circle each other. Jack goes to get hands on Chance who moves away.}

Vasco Dias: Chance being careful here.

Terri Morasco: Chance clearly does not want to have another experience like last time

{Jack goes for a suplex but Chance escapes by shifting his weight. Jack backs off and hits him with a big boot. Chance stumbles back slightly.}

Vasco Dias: Chance is a bigger guy and Jack is a little guy. Jack is going to have to adjust himself.

Terri Morasco: It’s a good sign for Chance.

{Chance whips around with a punch and a kick, knocking the smaller guy back.}

Terri Morasco: Chance seems to hit like a tank.

Vasco Dias: It’s not like a little twink like Ferriman can withstand a hard pounding and…oh no…

Terri Morasco: That’s going to be a gif before the match is even over.

Vasco Dias: Damn you tumblr.

{Chance kicks Jack, Jack stumbles backwards. Chance hits Jack with a body tackle. }

Vasco Dias: See? What did I tell you?

Terri Morasco: That Jack can’t handle a pounding?

Vasco Dias: I hate you…

{Chance goes for an armbar, applying it hard to Jack.}

Terri Morasco: Chance trying to ensure Jack stays down here.

{Jack struggles to get a reach for the rope but Chance keeps it locked in.}

Vasco Dias: Jack have some trouble here.

{Jack tries to touch the bottom rope but Chance keeps him locked in. Jack relents and taps out.}

Vasco Dias: He did it?!

Terri Morasco: He did it!

Alison Valance: Your winner Chance Craven!

{Chance gets up off of Jack and offers a hand to help him up with Jack takes. As Chance’s music plays and the ref holds his arm up in the air he smiles brightly at the camera.}



------------------------------------

HEIRESS TO THE THRONE
Second Semi Final
Vivienne Rodgers vs Emma Danielson

------------------------------------

{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.}

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a semi-final matchup in the 2019 Heiress to the Throne tournament! Introducing first, from Madison, Wisconsin, weighing in at 140 pounds, Vivienne Rodgers!

Terri Morasco: Vivienne Rodgers came into the 2019 Heiress to the Throne looking to get a shot at the Women’s World Championship that she lost to Eternity back at Night of the Immortals. I think she has a great chance to earn just that tonight.

Vasco Dias: We’ve seen a lot of great things from Vivienne this year, and even though I don’t always agree with her disposition, it would be quite the full circle for her to recapture her title before year’s end. All she has to do is win tonight, then win again. Easily doable for an athlete of her caliber.

{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: And her opponent!

{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.}

Alison Valance: From Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, weighing in at 157 pounds, Emma Danielson!

Terri Morasco: Emma Danielson has been having something of a late-career resurgence this year after leaving her position at the IWF Performance Center. You want to talk about bringing things full circle, what if she managed to pull off the upset of the year and made it all the way?

Vasco Dias: I don’t know if she’d be able to make it on the big stage again. Twenty years in the ring, and she’s never main evented a pay-per-view. That has to be for a reason, Terri, and I don’t think she can overcome history’s weight. Father Time is undefeated for a reason.

{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.}

Terri Morasco: The second of our qualifiers tonight, whichever of these women wins is going to have to launch right into it with barely any time to catch their breath! Let’s get underway!

{The bell rings, and both women cautiously circle each other. They shoot in for a lock-up, and Vivienne sweeps Emma into a side headlock. Emma backs her up to the ropes, trying to push her off, but Vivienne locks her hands tight and drops to a knee, skidding to the center of the ring with Emma. Emma struggles again, trying to work her way out, and Vivienne snaps her over with a side headlock takeover! Emma quickly kicks up into a headscissors, twisting her ankles together, but Vivienne kicks out and up to her feet, Emma scrambling to meet her. They shoot forward again, and Emma twists Viv into a wristlock, torqueing down with all her might. Vivienne quickly slides through and counters to a hammerlock, and Emma, sensing no escape, quickly drags herself to the ropes, hooking her arm over the top rope and immediately earning a break from Vivienne. The crowd confusedly applauds the display as the two reset, Emma shaking her arm out.}

Terri Morasco: Nice display of technical wrestling to start things out. Vasco, do you think this is a deliberate attempt by Emma Danielson to quiet those who say her largely self-trained status disqualifies her as a competitor?

Vasco Dias: Yes. Bluntly, it’s the wrong stage for it. She wants to do this on some random Sacrifice, she can do that. This is Survival of the Fittest. Bring what brought you to the dance. Don’t try to show off.

{The two women circle each other, Vivienne going for another lock-up. Emma ducks underneath and fires off a blistering chop as Viv turns back, staggering her. She delivers a second, then a third, backing Vivienne to the ropes. Emma whips her off, grabbing her for a tilt-a-whirl, but Viv slips out and lands behind Emma, hooking her for a quick release German suplex! Emma bounces up to her feet, clearly dazed but standing once more, and Vivienne blinks in confusion before grabbing at Emma’s wrist and slinging her off the ropes. Viv snags her on the rebound, looking for a swinging pendulum backbreaker, but Emma kicks her foot up once, twice, staggering Vivienne, and drops onto her back, firing a shot into the back of Vivienne’s ankles and sweeping her onto her back. Emma spins back to her feet, hitting the ropes and coming off with a big knee drop! Cover! ONE! KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: Smart move by Emma, taking the ankles of Vivienne Rodgers there. She’s going to do everything she can to get the victory tonight, it seems.

Vasco Dias: That’s what I’m talking about. You can worry about critics when you’re holding your prize over your head. In the moment, focus on the match.

{Emma grabs Viv’s wrist, wrenching it and shooting her into the corner. She follows in with a huge Stinger Splash, letting Vivienne stumble out of the corner and popping her up into a military press! Emma walks Vivienne out of the corner, taking a few steps before snapping her down into a sit-out slam! Emma doesn’t cover, though, rolling back to her feet and looking for another knee drop. Vivienne rolls to the side, and Emma hits the mat hard, clutching her knee. Vivienne grabs Emma’s ankle, dropping an elbow into her knee, and leaps up, delivering a second, then a third, before grabbing both feet and stepping through, looking for a SHARPSHOOTER! NO! Emma grabs her head and hauls her into a small package! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both women scramble to their feet, but Emma’s limping slightly, and that slight delay off the line proves vital, as she charges straight into a chokeslam from Vivienne! Cover from Viv! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: Vivienne reminding Emma that she has a formidable power game of her own with that big chokeslam!

Vasco Dias: Both of these women are known for their vicious signature powerbombs, and if you look at their patterns of attack, they’re looking to take those out of play. Vivienne especially was going after that vertical base, taking away Emma’s ability to plant and move. Great gameplan from the former World Champion.

{Viv drives her knees into Emma’s back, rolling onto her own back and stretching her over her knees in a bow and arrow! Emma cries out in pain, trying desperately to free herself as Viv works over her legs more, bringing her elbow down into Viv’s forehead! She delivers a number of flailing, clubbing blows to Vivienne’s face, and the former champion can only hold on for so long before releasing to cover up! Emma spins off Viv’s knees, clutching her lower back, and pushes up to her feet, stepping back to the ropes and using her momentum to stun Vivienne as she rises with a rolling elbow! Emma lashes out with a boot to the gut, hooking Viv into a suplex position, and looks for the MIDORI! NO! She stumbles slightly as she tries to lift Vivienne, giving her an opening to shoot a knee down and stagger Emma! Viv lands on her feet, hooking Emma’s bad leg, and spins Emma around into the RAINBOW! COVER! ONE! TWO! THR—KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: What a counter, Vasco! Vivienne had one hell of a chance off that big move, and got damned close in the process!

Vasco Dias: Damned close indeed. There’s where that attack comes into play, Terri. I think Vivienne needs to go to that knee more. That could be her best avenue to victory.

{Vivienne steps behind Emma, boosting her up onto her shoulders and grabbing her arms, looking for the RAISE YOUR GLASS! NO! Emma pulls her hand free, beginning to rain down right hands mercilessly into Vivienne’s head. Vivienne loosens her grip, trying to cover up, and Emma hops back, hooking Vivienne’s arms for the FACEPLANT! NO! Vivienne counters into a victory roll! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Emma rolls back to her feet, looking for a quick BROOKLYN HANGOVER! NO! Vivienne counters into a backslide! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Vivienne charges, and Emma ducks her head, snapping Vivienne over with the WITHDRAWAL! JACKKNIFE COVER! ONE! TWO! THR—KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: Throwing bombs, neither woman wanting to be the one to succumb first here!

Vasco Dias: They’re exhausting themselves, Terri! They need to remember that they have another match tonight! Going into a madcap sprint isn’t going to help their chances!

{Emma boots Vivienne in the gut, getting her in a gutwrench and lifting to look for the HOLY DRIVER! NO! Vivienne gets an arching kick to Emma’s face, forcing her to be set back down, and snaps free of her grip, stunning her with a quick forearm. Viv swings hard with a right hand, drilling Emma between the eyes, and pummels her back to the ropes, shooting her off and looking for a big clothesline! Emma ducks, and Vivienne whips right around, ONLY TO BE DRILLED WITH A MASSIVE BROOKLYN HANGOVER! Emma drops into the cover, hooking both legs tightly! ONE! TWO! THREE! Vivienne kicks out right after the third count, and Emma looks to the referee in shock as the bell rings!}

Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Emma Danielson!

Terri Morasco: What an upset! Emma Danielson is going to the finals of Heiress to the Throne! Who would have guessed we would be saying that at the beginning of the year?

Vasco Dias: I wouldn’t have guessed we’d be saying that at the beginning of the week, Terri! This is a big moment, and you have to think it’s a heartbreaker for Vivienne Rodgers.

Terri Morasco: Take a look for yourself, Vasco.

{Vivienne pulls herself up off the canvas as the referee raises Emma’s hand, looking devastated. Emma shakes her head, pulling her wrist away from the ref, and walks over to Vivienne, getting her attention. The two women exchange a few words, and Vivienne quietly offers a handshake, still looking quite upset. Emma shakes her head, stepping instead into a huge hug on the much younger woman to the roar of the crowd. The two hold each other for a long few moments, Emma patting Vivienne’s back, before Emma steps back and slides out of the ring, giving Vivienne center stage as the crowd cheers her performance. Viv waves to the crowd, still visibly distressed but less so, and rolls out of the ring herself, taking time with the fans as she walks up the ramp and to the back.}

Terri Morasco: Nothing but class there. This is what wrestling should be about.

Vasco Dias: It should be about victory, but that respect is…well, I hesitate to say admirable, but I can see where it comes from. We still have a show ahead of us, though, we can’t get lost in that so soon.

EXTREME RULES MATCH
Abraxes vs Hideaki Kazama

------------------------------------

{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.}

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is an Extreme Rules match! Introducing first, from The Pit, weighing in at 285 pounds, Abraxes!

Terri Morasco: This man…we’re going to go with man here…is truly frightening. Everything about him speaks to violence and terror, and he looks to inflict that here tonight.

Vasco Dias: Abraxes says that no matter who claims victory in this match, he wins. I’m going to go one step further. If he wins? We lose.

{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 his opponent!

{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: From Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, weighing in at 190 pounds, Hideaki Kazama!

Terri Morasco: If Hideaki is truly afraid, then he’s doing one hell of a job not letting it show here. He’s walking down that ramp with the same vigor and enthusiasm he always does.

Vasco Dias: The art of the game face is so vital in a situation like this. Someone like Abraxes feeds off of fear, and Hideaki needs to not give him that fear if he’s to come out victorious here.

{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: This is going to be vicious. This is going to be brutal. This is going to be underway…NOW!

{The moment the bell rings, Abraxes and Hideaki slide out of the ring, both men going under the ring. Abraxes pulls out a steel chair, Hideaki fishing out a kendo stick, and they slide back in, both armed. Abraxes laughs, beckoning Hideaki on, and the young Japanese star charges, only for Abraxes to block his overhead strike and jab him in the gut with the folding chair! Hideaki drops his weapon, clutching his midsection, and Abraxes delivers a vicious chair shot between the shoulderblades, rattling Hideaki and sending him to his knees. A second, a third, a fourth all rain down on him, and Abraxes laughs, shaking his head and taunting Hideaki as he clutches his back.}

Terri Morasco: All Abraxes from the opening bell, and he’s already getting into Hideaki’s head!

Vasco Dias: This is very bad for Hideaki Kazama. If he wants to be victorious, he NEEDS to get out of the range of those chairshots, use his speed, and not let Abraxes in. Easier said than done, though.

{Abraxes goes for another chairshot, Hideaki quickly rolling forward out of the way, and swings hard in anticipation of a charge. Hideaki hooks himself on the ropes, though, and as Abraxes overcommits to the swing, rushes forward and leaps into a step-up enzuigiri! Abraxes is staggered, but not knocked down, and Hideaki rolls back to his feet, leaping into a high dropkick that sends the chair back into Abraxes’ face again! The big man stumbles once more, and Hideaki hits the ropes, coming off with a big springboard moonsault! COVER! ONE! Abraxes throws Hideaki off of him, pushing up to his feet even before Hideaki himself is back up!}

Terri Morasco: A quick flurry of offense from Hideaki Kazama there, and Abraxes is just taking it without much ill effect!

Vasco Dias: Abraxes seemed confident in his chances here, and I think we’re seeing why!

{Hideaki desperately dives for the kendo stick, managing to wrench it into his grasp before a stomp comes down from Abraxes where it had been laying. Hideaki snaps into a proper kendo form, unleashing a series of quick feints and strikes on Abraxes, who covers up as best he can under the surprising hail of offense. His hand snaps up and catches one of the strikes, though, stopping it cold. Hideaki’s eyes go wide, and he tries to yank the stick away, only for Abraxes to twist his grip and break the weapon in his hand! Hideaki drops the shattered hilt, gasping, and Abraxes punishes his distraction with a massive clothesline that bowls him head over heels!}

Terri Morasco: Abraxes isn’t human. He’s just not human.

Vasco Dias: I can only agree, Terri. This is…this is unsettling on a profound level.

{Abraxes slides out of the ring, flipping the apron up, and begins to throw items into it. A trash can, another chair, and finally a table are all slid into the ring. He slides back in and unfolds one side of the table, propping it in a corner. Abraxes grabs Hideaki’s wrist, dragging him to the corner, and props him up against the bottom turnbuckle, sticking a chair in front of his face. Abraxes takes a few steps back before charging, crushing the steel against Hideaki with a cannonball! He stays on him, grabbing him by the arm, and rips Hideaki up into a uranage STRAIGHT ONTO THE TRASH CAN! Abraxes covers! ONE! TWO! THR—KICKOUT! Abraxes shakes his head, laughing as he drags Hideaki up by the hair again.}

Terri Morasco: He has no conscience. He has no remorse!

Vasco Dias: Abraxes has no soul, and that’s why he’s succeeding. He knows that Hideaki won’t go to the depths he will to succeed. It’d be admirable if it weren’t so disturbing…ah, what the hell. I’ll applaud anyway.

Terri Morasco: You’re sick, Vasco. Sick.

{Hideaki fires palm strikes into Abraxes’ midsection, desperately trying to buy himself some room, only to eat a kneelift from Abraxes. He scoops Hideaki up in his arms, looking for a fallaway slam, only for Hideaki to twist midair and land on his feet in a crouch! Abraxes wastes no time in grabbing a chair, but turns around into a huge roundhouse kick, staggering the big man! Hideaki whips into a solebutt, doubling him over, but Abraxes stays armed and standing! He follows with an upkick! Another solebutt! Another upkick! Abraxes swings, and Hideaki ducks, delivering a low dropkick that sweeps the legs out from underneath him before hitting the ropes and delivering a huge Penalty Kick straight into the chair, driving it into Abraxes’ face! Hideaki covers! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!}

Terri Morasco: That’s the opening he needed! Now he needs to go as big as possible! Go for a knockout blow, end this match before any more carnage can come!

Vasco Dias: Easier said than done, Terri, but Hideaki’s got good momentum going here! He might be able to capitalize!

{Hideaki lets out a war cry, dipping his shoulder and scooping Abraxes up into a fireman’s carry! The crowd audibly oohs for the display of strength, and Hideaki charges towards the propped-up table, looking for the RUN ONTO THE ROCKS! NO! Abraxes slides off, pushing Hideaki towards the corner! He puts the brakes on just in time, and quickly spins to the side, anticipating an Abraxes charge. Abraxes changes course midway, though, and delivers another huge clothesline that sends Hideaki over the ropes! Hideaki lands on the apron, miraculously, and when Abraxes moves to confront him, leaps with a kick that staggers the big man! He grabs the middle rope, slingshotting himself in with the HARPOON! NO! ABRAXES CATCHES HIM MID-MOTION AND DRILLS HIM WITH THE HUSH HANGING DDT! Wasting no time, Abraxes drags Hideaki up and loads him onto his shoulders, rushing forward and driving him through the table with the CONSIGN TO DREAM! Abraxes stacks Hideaki up in the ruin of the table! ONE! TWO! THREE! The bell rings, and “Monster (Under My Bed)” starts to play again as Abraxes gets to his feet, laughing sinisterly.}

Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Abraxes!

Terri Morasco: Valiant effort from Hideaki Kazama tonight, but Abraxes…Abraxes is something else. That was brutal to watch.

Vasco Dias: Hideaki Kazama isn’t going to be able to walk after this, not easily. That was a vicious punishment the likes of which you rarely see a talent go through. Abraxes wanted to instill fear? He succeeded.

{Abraxes shakes his head at the fallen Kazama, nudging him with his boot, and turns to walk away, satisfaction radiating from his form. Trainers rush to the ring, checking on Hideaki and gingerly rolling him from the ring. Hideaki is helped to the back, clutching his neck and supported on each side by a member of the medical team, his eyes heavy and steps halting. Abraxes watches him be helped to the back, shaking his head slowly, before heading back as well, the ring crew sliding in to clear the wreckage before the next match.}

HEIRESS TO THE THRONE 2019 FINALS
Winner earns a Women’s World Championship opportunity at Diamonds Are Forever
Finalist 1 vs Finalist 2

------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: This is it!

Vasco Dias: The Heiress to the Throne finales!

Terri Morasco: Eight women, two months, two finalists!

Vasco Dias: And I think we are all a little shocked about who made it to the finals!

Terri Morasco: I think a lot of people had Brooklyn and Kimberly pegged for the finals but the Heiress to the Throne is a long game and two women stayed the course and made it this match!

Vasco Dias: Emma Danielson, Fiona McFly! The Heiress to the Throne finals!

{ A video package begins playing to a rock-remix version of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," showing a montage of Fiona McFly at various stages of her life including home movie footage of the famous 1994 go-kart race in the Texas Hill Country. We see photos of Fiona from her high school and college graduation ceremonies until we finally see an image of her standing next to the late Jack Gaither on their wedding day. The black-and-white photo fades down into a distorted image as the initial tune becomes slowed down, like a phonograph. Then... }

"ONE! TWO!!
ONE-TWO!!!
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!!!!"

{ ...a blast of pyro goes off as the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I) kicks into high gear. We see Fiona hopping onto the stage with a rugged smile on her face, looking around at the cheering crowd as she twirls a replica of her trusty bullwhip around and around. }

"Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
That say you fail the test
You don't have what she needs
I'll slither like a viper
And get you by the neck
I know a thousand ways to help you forget about her

That chick can eat her heart out
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites..."

{ She strolls down the rampway, hugging and high-fiving folks along the way before handing the replica whip to a child as a souvenir. }

Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly has had a roller coaster of a 2019!

Vasco Dias: Between time travel and alternate earths and futures to the Heiress to the Throne, she’s had quite literally the longest journey to this moment.

Terri Morasco: It’s been absolutely outstanding watching Fiona grow and develop over the years and now all her hard work has paid off. Win or lose, no one can take away the journey she’s had!

Vasco Dias: Fiona has had an incredibly hard road to this moment and it is definitely a shock for me to see her in the ring right now but another woman who’s journey may just be harder, her opponent, Emma Danielson.

{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.}

Vasco Dias: Emma Danielson has been wrestling longer than some of the women in the company have been alive, her journey to this point literally spans decades.

Terri Morasco: Emma has more than earned the recognition she’s getting tonight, three times over!

Vasco Dias: Absolutely correct, Vasco. Emma has been doing this longer at a pace far harder than most other women on the roster. People don’t give her the credit she deserves but I think after tonight they will!

Terri Morasco: You can’t ignore her raw determination and ability. She didn’t get her out of luck. She earned her spot in the finals and she is going to fight Fiona with everything she has!

{ Fiona and Emma loosen up in their corners as Alison Valance stands in the center of the ring. }

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit and it is the Heiress to the Throne finals!!!!

{ The crowd erupts. }

Alison Valance: To my right she is known as the Belfast Bombshell! Hailing from Fredricksburg, Texas! FIONA MCFLY!!!!

{ The crowd begins a Fiona chant. }

Alison Valance: To my left, she is known as the Hardcore Hellion! Hailing from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota! EMMA DANIELSON!!!!

{ A You still got it! Chant breaks out as Emma smiles. }

Terri Morasco:Here we go!

Vasco Dias: I can’t wait!

{ Blue Shoes is the referee for this match and checks with both women before standing in the center of the ring and calling for the bell! }

Vasco Dias: It’s on!

{ Fiona and Emma move around each other for a few moments before both women run in. Fiona goes for the collar and elbow tie up but Emma throws her off and grabs Fiona for a choke toss, Fiona holds on and swings Emma into an judo style armbar takedown! Emma rolls right back up to her feet and catches Fiona with a running knee lift. Emma then grabs her for a pump handle backbreaker but Fiona manages to slide off her back and grabs Emma in a Dragon Sleeper. Emma powers her way out of it and pushes Fiona off as the crowd starts to clap for both women. }

Vasco Dias: Neither Emma nor Fiona getting the early advantage in the opening minutes.

Terri Morasco: But neither one is holding back. It doesn’t look like they’re aiming for the sixty minute time limit.

Vasco Dias: They’ve both been through hell already tonight, I doubt they want this match to run the limit.

{ Fiona comes in fast looking for the collar and elbow tie up again but Emma drills her with an elbow strikes and then immediately fires off a European upper cut! Fiona is staggered and backs off. Emma comes in fast but Fiona takes her down with a deep armdrag take down! Emma is right up but Fiona is there with a running dropkick that sends Emma into the corner. Fiona nips up and runs in looking for a splash in the corner but Emma grabs her with a big hang time Uranage! }

Vasco Dias: Bit time uranage!

Terri Morasco:Emma pulling out all the stops tonight!

Vasco Dias: But will that be enough to put Fiona away!

{ Emma goes for the cover and Blue Shoes counts but Fiona kicks out at one. Emma pulls Fiona up off the mat but Fiona connects with several palm strikes that drive Emma back a little. Fiona then connects with a head scissors takedown on Emma Danielson. Emma is right up and Fiona comes at her again but Emma grabs Fiona with a twisting spine buster! Emma covers again and this time it’s a two count! }

Terri Morasco: Fiona is hitting those fast strikes but Emma is going right for her power moves!

Vasco Dias: I don’t think there is a woman on the roster who can match Emma Danielson in brute strength!

Terri Morasco: She’s like the Atlas of the women’s division!

{ Emma pulls Fiona up but McFly connects with several shin kicks to Danielson. Fiona hits a jumping forearm strike and then a spinning back elbow strike! Emma stumbles back and Fiona hits the ropes hard and comes flying back across the ring and hits a cross body block but Emma rolls her through into another pin attempt and Blue Shoes counts to two but Fiona pulls Emma into a crucifix pin for a two count of her own that Emma kicks out of! }

Vasco Dias: Smart pin attempt by Fiona!

Terri Morasco: She used Emma’s weight advantage against her and very nearly got the pin!

Vasco Dias: But Emma powered right out of it!

{ Both women get back to their feet and Emma drills Fiona with a palm strike to the face and pulls Fiona in for a short arm clothesline. Emma pulls Fiona up to her feet again and hits another short arm clothesline. Emma pulls Fiona up for a third time and hits a third short arm clothesline. Emma covers Fiona again as Blue Shoes makes the count. It’s only two as Fiona gets her shoulder up. }

Vasco Dias: Emma is wearing Fiona down now.

Terri Morasco: Fiona is quick and well trained but Emma is just raw strength!

{ Emma pulls Fiona up to her feet again but Fiona hits a spinning heel kick and then grabs Danielson for a belly to back suplex! Emma gets up rather quickly but Fiona is on her with a snap dragon suplex! Emma gets to her feet again but Fiona grabs her with the Iron Claw!!! }

Vasco Dias: IRON CLAW!!!

Terri Morasco: Fiona is well trained technical wrestler! Does Emma have enough experience to know how to break this!?

Vasco Dias: Damn right she does!

{ Emma grabs Fiona by the throat with both hands, breaking the Iron Claw and lifts her high into the air for a good old fashioned LOW DOWN! Emma makes the cover but Fiona kicks out at two. Both women are up but Emma grabs Fiona for the LAST ROUND! Emma makes another cover but Fiona is able to get her shoulder up again much to Blue Shoes’ surprise! }

Vasco Dias: Emma will not be denied tonight!

Terri Morasco:Fiona has to be feeling the pain this deep into the match with every big power move Emma hits!

Vasco Dias: Fiona has all the skill in the world but I’m starting to doubt that will be enough tonight!

Terri Morasco:I’m starting to agree with you, Vasco.

{ Emma pounds the mat as she stands up. Fiona is slow to get to her feet. Emma comes in to grab Fione but McFly hits a round house kick and a running knee strike that takes Emma down! Fiona lunges onto Emma with ground and pound style elbow strikes as Blue Shoes checks to make sure Emma still has her guard up. }

Terri Morasco:Fiona has a fire lit under her ass!

Vasco Dias: Hello McFly! Is anybody home!?

Terri Morasco:It sure as hell looks like it!

{ Fiona is up and lets out a roar to a pop from the crowd. Emma starts to stand but Fiona hits a running dropkick! Emma falls backward into the corner. Fiona nip up and connects with the Penalty kick in the corner on Emma Danielson! Fiona pulls Emma up out of the corner and ties her into the Innuendo but Emma pushes her off and grabs McFly with a Withdrawl!!! }

Vasco Dias: WITHDRAWL!!!

Terri Morasco:That has got to be it! There is no way Fiona can kick out of that!

{ Emma is down, Fiona is down, Blue Shoes is hesitant to make the ten count as neither woman is moving. Eventually Emma rolls over and slaps an arm across the chest of Fiona. Blue Shoes drops down to make the count but Fiona gets her foot on the bottom rope! }

Terri Morasco: Excellent ring awareness by Fiona McFly!

Vasco Dias: I can’t believe Fiona is still in this!

Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly never says die!

Vasco Dias: Emma may just force her too!

{ Both women start to get to their feet, they’re moving slow, Fiona hits a roundhouse kick and then a spinning backfist! Fiona moves past Emma and connects with the Challenger! Fiona makes a quick cover but Emma powers out of the pin at two! }

Vasco Dias: Where does McFly find the energy!?

Terri Morasco: It’s the Heiress to the Throne finals! Her energy is endless tonight!

{ Fiona pulls Emma back up to her feet and hits her with a snap vertical suplex! Emma tries to get right back up but Fiona connects with a toe kick and then grabs Danielson with the SCREECHER!!! Emma drops onto her back and Fiona moves as quick as she can and makes the cover. Blue Shoes slides into position as Fiona hooks Emma’s leg for ONE! TWO! Emma gets her leg on the ropes now!!! }

Vasco Dias: Emma got her foot on the rope!!!

Terri Morasco:I can’t believe it!

Vasco Dias: This is what the Heiress means to both of these women!

Terri Morasco: They’re giving it everything they’ve got!

{ Fiona can’t believe it as Blue Shoes holds up two fingers. Fiona pulls Emma up and hooks her head for the Chelsea Clutch but Emma grabs her for a full nelson backbreaker!!! }

Vasco Dias: Emma is right back in this!

{ Emma uses the ropes to pull herself up to her feet. Fiona crawls her way over to the ropes and does the same. Emma grabs Fiona and lifts her up for a Faceplant! Fiona is down for the count. Emma makes the cover and hooks both of Fiona’s legs as Blue Shoes checks that the shoulders are down and counts. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!! }

Terri Morasco: Fiona got her shoulder up!!!

Vasco Dias: HOW!?

Terri Morasco:This is incredible!!! Both these women have been through wars tonight and now they’re just leaving it all in the ring!

Vasco Dias: What else could you ask for from the Heiress to the Throne finals!?

Terri Morasco: Absolutely nothing!

{ Emma gets to her feet, she can’t believe it either as the crowd is roaring. Emma bends down to grab Fiona but McFly rolls her up in a school boy! Emma struggles but manages to kick out at two. Fiona is back up and hits a single leg drop kick on Emma! Fiona is back up and hits a running knee strike on Emma! Fiona pulls Emma up to her feet and hits another belly to belly suplex! }

Terri Morasco:Fiona McFly is back in this!

Vasco Dias: She’s looking to put Emma away!

Terri Morasco: If Fiona can hit one big move this could be all over for Emma!

Vasco Dias: What a hellacious battle!

{ Emma is up and Fiona toe kicks her. Fiona grabs her again and looks for the Screecher but Danielson shoves Fiona off and hits the BROOKLYN HANGOVER!!! }

Vasco Dias: BROOKLYN HANGOVER!!!

{ Emma pulls Fiona back up to her feet and then lifts her up into the air for the DETOXIFIER!!!! Emma hooks both of Fiona’s legs as Blue Shoes slides into position for the ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }

Vasco Dias: Emma Danielson is the HEIRESS TO THE THRONE!!!!

{ Blue Shoes calls for the bell and Emma looks up from the pin as the crowd roars for her. She almost can’t believe it herself. }

Alison Valance: Your winner and the 2019 HEIRESS TO THE THRONE!!! EMMA DANIELSON!!!!

{ Confetti drops from the rafters as Blue Shoes holds up Emma Danielson’s hand. }

Terri Morasco: What an amazing contest between two of the very best IWF has to offer!!!

Vasco Dias: That was awesome, Terri. These two women left it all in the ring.

Terri Morasco: Absolutely. No one can doubt how much these women love what they do or how much this sport means to them.

Vasco Dias: Fiona put on the match of a life time but on this night Emma was just a little bit better.

Terri Morasco: And now Emma will go on to face the IWF Women’s World Champion!

Vasco Dias: And if this match is anything to go by we may just have a new World Champion come Diamonds are Forever!

{ Emma celebrating at ring side with friends and family as her music plays. }

EXTINCTION EVENT
Champions vs Challengers Elimination Tag Team Match
Eternity, Brooklyn Madrox, Almir Sayed, Steve Awesome Gabriela Luna, & Rob Diamond vs Kathleen Conway, Charity Crowne, Rosa De Luca, James Gilmore, Bob Pooler, & The Ace

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: The following match is a six on six Champion vs Challengers tag team elimination match. If a Champion eliminates a challenger they retain their belt. If a Challenger eliminates a Champion they win that challenger’s belt. Once an elimination has taken place both parties leave the match until both sides have been completed.

Terri Morasco: This will be an interesting match to be sure. We had a last minute title switch last pay per view as well as two winners of the Olympian tag team here.

Vasco Dias: We have a faction separated on different sides. It’s going to be a brawl and I for one am excited for this!

{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting
his name.}

"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.}

{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. 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 relentless opening chords of "Vortex" by Los Savants crash out as Gabriela Luna dashes out onto the stage, throwing her fist into the air to the cheers of the crowd. She shouts at the crowd, beckoning them on with her hands, and grins widely at them before turning and charging down the ramp. Gabriela leaps and slides feet-first under the bottom rope, rolling to a crouch with a grin on her face. She stands, walking to the middle of the ring, and paces back and forth in the center for a moment before dropping back to a knee and pounding her fist into the mat as pyro erupts from the ringposts. She leaps back up to her feet, popping her hood back with a shout, and runs over to the nearest corner, hopping onto the second turnbuckle and further beckoning the crowd on before dropping down into a crouch and waiting for the match to start.}

{“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!}


{The lights go out completely.}

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaa...

{The soft chilling female laughter changes the atmosphere in the arena completely before the opening bag pipes, tambourine and soft guitar lead a procession of somber blue strobe lights to dance in time with them. Thirty seconds pass before the lyrics to “The Circle” by Blackmore’s Night begin, the blue strobe lights provide just enough illumination for us to see the purple coloured smoke slowly gathering to cloud the entranceway.

Eternity emerges from within the cloud of colourful smoke. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp.

She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it.

She then skips to the middle of the ring and falls to her knees, keeping her head bowed for a moment and her eyes closed. she tilts her head back and slowly opens her eyes to the heavens. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.}

{ 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. 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. }


Alison Valance: the champion team Sextreme Champion Steve Awesome, Openweight Champion Brooklyn Maddox Luchadora Champion Gabriela Luna, StrongStyle Champion Almir Sayed, Women’s World Champion Eternity and WORLD CHAMPION ROB DIAMOND!

Terri Morasco: Every single one of the Champions made a bold statement about how this evening is going to end. All but Eternity. No one can really predict how Eternity thinks so maybe the keeping silent was all part of her game?

Vasco Dias: She likely thinks that it is. Eternity is not someone you can predict and she has made a bloody path through the women’s division since her return.

{The lights in the arena suddenly turn out, plunging the fans into darkness. Little by little, small beacons of light begins to pop up as the fans raise their lit cellphone aloft as the #WWIDN appears on the Jumbotron in bright purple and the opening drumbeat of “Unstoppable” begins to play. Amidst a shower of phone flashes, Pooler steps out from behind the curtain as the the fans sing along, "WE CAN BE HEROES".

Shielding his eyes with his left hand, he smiles and points to the nosebleed sections with his right before making his way to the edge of the ramp.

Pooler heads down the ramp, breaking into a run and sliding into the ring beneath the bottom rope. He pops back to his feet and heads to the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air to the roar of the crowd. He drops back down to the ring and grabs hold of the ropes, tugging down on them and taking a moment to stretch before the match can begin.}

{The arena goes dark before blue strobe lights flash wildly as A''Made For This'' by City Wolf goes through the arena before Rosa De Luca walks through the curtain to a rumble of the crowd extending her arms as the lights go back up. She walks the walk down to the ring and slides into her corner, waiting for the match to start.}

{ 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. }

{"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.}

{The lights in the arena dim with the opening chords and then start to flash red, green, yellow and purple in rotation as the guitar riff kicks in, joined by the drums.. The titantron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the guitar riff until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The circular platform on which The Ace is stood with his back towards us and the Union Jack draped across his shoulders, starts to turn.

The platform is decorated to look like a roulette wheel. Slowly it spins a full one-eighty degrees as we now see The Ace take a swig from the water bottle in his right hand and spit the water in the air. After the lyrics to "Brotherhood of Man" by Motorhead kick in, Kathy Conway appears on stage beside her husband and takes his hand as she leads him off the platform. He throws the bottle to one side.

Now your time has come
A storm of iron in the sky
War and murder come again
Lucky if you die

The couple walks down through the shower of falling cards, hand in hand, Kathy carrying her husband's rake in her other hand.

No way to rescue destiny
Scream and curse in vain
You will never be remembered
No one knows your name

When the music changes
Then all is broken down
Mighty cities laid to ruin
Burn in to the ground

The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling, the couple share a kiss before The Ace enters the ring himself, climbing the steel steps and getting the offcial to part the ropes for him as he steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope whilst an armed Kathy stays at ringside.

The Ace raises both arms in the air.

Murder has become the law
You cannot make a stand
Chaos rules the world now, mortal
Brotherhood of Man

The Ace climbs down and hands the flag over to a stagehand before he walks to the middle of the ring, and the song fades...}

{The lights in the arena start to twinkle like yellow diamonds with the melodic holler and drum beat of "Black and Silver" by Xandria

I am amused
You seem to love me
But be reserved
Before you huff me

Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip, and the other in the hand of her husband The Ace as he is beside her.

I'm used to winners
I need the fame
And if you touch me
You'd be my shame

She kisses him triggering a burst of flame pyros either side of them as cards fall from the rafters, before the couple continues to walk down to the ramp, hand in hand, Kathy with a smile on her face.

Your childish dreams are all in vain
To me your kind is all the same


She gets to the ring and climbs on to the apron with her back to the ropes, she drops to one knee. She holds onto the ropes behind her as she flips her hair to the side and she winks at The Ace.

I am a Queen
And if you creep
I'll push my blade
Still water deep

I am a dream
A fairytale
Your endless Quest
Your Holy Grail

Kathy stands and steps through the middle rope into the ring. She walks to centre of the ring and flips her hair again with a hand on her hip as the lights return to normal and the music fades during the chorus of the song.


Thanks so much for your confusion
I will be your lost illusion

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name}

Alison Valance: The Challengers team Bob Pooler, Rosa De Luca, James Gilmore, Charity Crowne, The Ace and Kathleen Conway!

Terri Morasco: I worry we might see something here tonight that I am not prepared for. Rob and James have stated that Being Infamous is going to be fine regardless of how tonight goes but can we truly be sure?

Vasco Dias: It is a hard question to answer.

{the champions hand their belts over to Blue Shoes who hands it over to the time keeper. The champions file into their side as the Challengers discuss who among them should go out first. Rosa steps between the ropes, clearly with the challengers calling their shot. Without a second to discuss with her team Eternity steps forward through the ropes.}

Terri Morasco: Rosa versus Eternity. This likely isn’t what Rosa had in mind.

Vasco Dias: No one wants to be in the ring with Eternity, except the Crown Jewel herself.

{As soon as the bell rings Rosa comes charging but Eternity turns around and boops Steve on the nose. Rosa stops as blue shoes signals the tag was done. Rosa goes back to her side as Eternity skips back through the ropes. Steve makes a big production of having to go out first but steps between the ropes. Bob bounces into the ring without discussing with Ace of James about strategy.}

Vasco Dias: Well, that’s one way to do it, I guess.

Terri Morasco: Bob and Steve have had some intense tension building up to this match. It will be interesting to see if Bob can shake off the ring rust and deliver to Steve everything he wants to do.

{Steve turns to Rob, as if talkign some trash but Bob doesn’t wait and hits Steve with an Imperious Rex, knocking them both down to the mat.}

Terri Morasco: Bob is wasting no time here.

Vasco Dias: Steve wasn’t ready! Foul! Foul!

{Steve gets out of the hold and blatantly low blows Bob but Blue Shoes doesn’t seem to notice or care.}

Terri Morasco: Oh come on!

Vasco Dias: That seems fair.

{ Steve takes advantage of Bob’s pain as opportunity and goes for the pin

{The challenger’s side look less than please and the Champions seem to share it. Steve blows a kiss at Eternity before tapping his wrist for time at Rob before leaving the cage as medical grabs Bob out.}

Terri Morasco: So far things have not looked good for Challenger team.

Vasco Dias: That’s because we have some of the best champions in the company’s history on the other side right now.

{Brooklyn steps out from between the ropes, motioning any of the women on the other side to come through. Rosa goes to steop through but Kathy puts a hand up, stopping to kiss her husband passionately before stepping through the ropes. Brooklyn rolls her eyes.}

Terri Morasco: Kathy versus Brookltn. This will be interesting to see.

Vasco Dias: True love always wins.

{Brooklyn wastes no time hitting Kathy with a pele kick, knocking her into the ropes. Brooklyn grabs her by the hair and pulls her away from the rest of her team, dropping her in the center of the ring.}

Terri Morasco: Strong start from Brooklyn here.

Vasco Dias: She was the women’s longest champion for a reason.

{Kathy tries to go for a scoop slam but brooklyn head butts her back to the mat. She looks over at the women on the challengers side and then at Eternity and hits Kathy with a low drop kick.}

Terri Morasco: Brooklyn clearly putting on a display to everyone here.

Vasco Dias: We all know what she can do.

{Brooklyn moves from Kathy and makes direct eye contact with Eternity who tilts her head slightly. Just as Kathy is getting back to her feet Brooklyn rushes over and hits her with a BALOR’S GAZE!}

Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!

Vasco Dias: God has nothing to do with that move.

{Brooklyn puts a foot on Kathy’s chest as the ref drops down to do the count despite Ace trying to make his way into the ring, being stopped by James and Charity.

Alison Valance: Kathy Conway has been eliminated. Brooklyn Madrox retains OpenWeight Championship!

Terri Morasco: That’s two down already. This is not looking good.

Vasco Dias: Champions have retained two belts. Are we going to have a full sweep of champions retaining?

{Ace strides into the ring wanting to yell at brooklyn but Blue shoes keeps him back. As the ring is cleared Almir slips in ready to take on The Ace. Almir comes in with a running boot to the face, hitting Ace and barely missing the ref. Blue shoes moves back and lets the match continue. James is clearly offended by how Almir took advantage of Ace’s distraction.}

Terri Morasco: Almir barely waited until Kathy was cleared from the ring there.

Vasco Dias: Who wants to waste time on a love story when the money maker is here?

{Almir hits Ace with a springboard clothesline. Ace rolls and his hand touches Rosa’s shoe. She steps into the ring. Almir argues it wasn’t a real tag but Blue Shoes sends him out. Eternity bounces into the ring but Gabriela Luna blind tags herself in much to Eternity’s confusion.}

Terri Morasco: Eternity was going to come back out and fight Rosa but Luna cancelled those plans.

Vasco Dias: Gabriela and Eternity have had tension for a while.

{Gabriela and Rosa look across the ring from each other. Rosa goes over and hits Gabi over with a picture perfect drop kick. Gabi goes down but responds with a Handspring roundhouse kick. Gabi hits Rosa with a Front flip into a leaping corner forearm.}

Terri Morasco: Gabriela is putting on a show here.

Vasco Dias: She did say she was going to climb Rosa like a tree.

{Gabriela hits Rosa with a La Tijera. Rosa goes down but flips back up. Rosa hits Gabriela with Double Leg Take-down. Gabriela turns and goes for a Slingshot corner evasion transitioned into a schoolgirl roll-up

Terri Morasco: Oh you have got to be kidding me!

Vasco Dias: Eternity dances to her own songs.

Eternity waves at Rosa as she rises to her feet. Eternity hits Rosa with a Dust To Dust. Rosa hits the mat hard and then got back up and hits Eternity with a European Uppercut. }

Terri Morasco: Rosa is holding her own so far.

Vasco Dias: Everyone seems to at first.

{Eternity hits Rosa with a Ligature Mark. Rosa drops to the mat and rolls. Charity leansd over and tags herself in. She brushes her hair out of her face and points at Eternity. Eternity glances behind her and then points at herself. Charity charges over with a move but Eternity hits her with an Ashes To Ashes.}

Terri Morasco: Charity clearly wanted an advantage here.

Vasco Dias: She is the Crown Jewel, she deserves it.

{Charity hits Eternity with a Béal na Bláth then tagging Rosa back in. Rosa goes for a Gargoyle Suplex and Charity tags herself back in. Eternity is not enjoying this game and goes to hit Charity with a Spiral-Plex but Charity tags James. Gilmore steps into the ring and Eternity pouts while she walks back to her corner of the ring before Charity blind tags Gimore out much to his confusion.}

Terri Morasco: What is Charity’s game plan here?

Vasco Dias: Victory.

{Charity goes charging across the ring and hits Eternity with a DIAMOND CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE!}

Terri Morasco: NO!

Vasco Dias: YEEEEEES!

{Charity smirks at Eternity hitting the mat and goes for the quick pin

Terri Morasco: I can not believe what we just witnessed.

Vasco Dias: Believe it Terri! The Crowne Jewel finally won what she deserved.

{James Gilmore looks ready to step into the ring but Gabriela Luna jumps out ahead of Rob Diamond, yelling for James to tag Rosa back in. James sighs and tags Rosa in.}

Terri Morasco: Gabi wants to finish what she and Rosa started.

Vasco Dias: More like wants to cockblock the whole IWF universe of the show down between being infamous.

{As soon as Rosa crosses the ropes, Gabi is on her like a flash with a Springboard somersault neckbreaker. Rosa goes to the mat. Gabriela gets up and waits for Rosa to get back on her feet before hitting her with a Phoenix Splash.}

Terri Morasco: Oh this could be it!

Vasco Dias: finally!

Alison Valance: Rosa De Luca has been eliminated! Gabriella Luna retains the Luchadora championship!

Terri Morasco: Rosa put her all out there.

Vasco Dias: Yes, yes, it’s all very sad.

{James gets into the ring, motioning for Rob. Almir steps into the ring next but the crowd turns wildly, Almir tells them to “Shut Up”.}

Terri Morasco: the crowd seems to share your opinion Vasco.

Vasco Dias: I have my pulse on what they people want.

Terri Morasco: Then why are you so awful?

Vasco Dias: You cut me to the quick, Terri.

{ The crowd starts a “LET THEM FIGHT!” chant}

Terri Morasco: Did I really hurt your feelings?

Vasco Dias: No, you shrew. Shut up.

{Almir looks deeply offended and Rob tags himself in, much to the crowds wild cheers.}

Terri Morasco: Here we go.

Vasco Dias: What we’ve all been waiting for all night.

{rob goes over to James and offers his hand. James cautiously takes it, the two shake hands before Rob steps back to his corner and James steps back to his.}

{Rob rushes out of his corner and hits James with a spear. James takes the hit solidly and hits the turnbuckle. Rob grabs him and hits him with a Overhead belly to belly suplex. Rob turns around to face James as he gets back to his feet.}

Terri Morasco: Even with friendship you know Rob is not going to hold anything back.

Vasco Dias: I’m sure James would asking him not to. Which, ugh.

{As Rob gets closer to James, he gets hit with a spinning wheel kick from the Little Bear. James takes advantage of the change in momentum and goes for Rob with a german suplex, knocking Papa bear to the mat.}

Terri Morasco: James getting the advantage here.

Vasco Dias: But can he keep it?

{Backing off slightly, letting rob get to his feet James hits him with a spear of his own followed with some mounted punches. Rob rolls out of his reach, using the rope to pull himself up. James hits him with a missle dropkick knocking rob to the mat. James pulls him away from the ropes and puts the world champion into an armdrag takedown.}

Terri Morasco: Is James trying to make his friend and world champion tap out?

Vasco Dias: There is no friendship in the Extinction Event.

{Rob is clearly feeling the pain of the armdrag takedown and struggles to get a hold of the rope while James keeps it locked in air tight.}

Terri Morasco: Could this be it?

{With a sudden rush Rob is able to get his fingers on the rope, Blue shoes doesn’t tell James to let go but the Texan does of his own accord.}

Vasco Dias: Makes me sick.

Terri Morasco: Jake is stealing all the hard work Gilmore put into this match!

Vasco Dias: What are you new here? Jake is a gambler which means he knows a low risk, high win when he sees it.

{The crowd is livid but Jake ignores it smiling at the hardcam when suddenly BIG BOOT from Rob hits Jake into the cage wall.}

Vasco Dias: Rob’s awake again.

Terri Morasco: I don’t know who looks more made at Ace intervening, Rob or Gilmore.

Vasco Dias: Little of column A, little of Column B.

Vasco Dias: And then there were two. StrongStyle belt on the line. These two men were on the last pay per view, we know how that last match eneded.

Terri Morasco: Indeed we do. But things are different now.

{Almir strides into the ring, laughing at James then at the crowd who is clearly still sad not to see James and Rob finish their fight.}

Terri Morasco: Almir certainly is rubbing salt into the wound.

{Almir shakes his head, and walks back and forth in the ring, arguing with the crowd they should be thrilled to see him. James rushes Almir and hits him with a ShellShocker!}

Vasco Dias: Out of nowhere?!

Terri Morasco: James is tired of Almir’s entitled attitude!

{Almir struggles to get back to his feet and hits James with a couple Knife Edge Chops. James takes it, his skin almost glowing red from the hits but it’s clear his anger is pushing him forward. He headbuts Almir in the face. Almir panics, making suire his good looks have not been affected by the hit.}

Vasco Dias: He hit Almir in the face!

Terri Morasco: And?

Vasco Dias: that’s where Almir keeps all his pretty!

Terri Morasco: It might not have been the belt he wanted but it shows the progress James Gilmnore has made this year.

Vasco Dias: Indeed it has.

{James is handed the strong style belt, holds it in his arms but it’s clear as far as he’s concerned things between him and the world title are not over.}
