 Monday Night Sacrifice
December 16, 2019
PEPSI CENTER DENVER, CO------------------------------------DARK MATCHTROLL vs Jack Ferriman------------------------------------{Jack WINS}------------------------------------MAIN SHOW------------------------------------SEGMENTWhere in the world is Dean Harper?------------------------------------ {the camera switches over to Dean Harper drinking an iced coffee and Uriel sitting across from him, clearly in the middle of a conversation.}
Dean Harper: She laughs at your jokes. And she thinks their funny.
Uriel Black: I donât even think all my jokes are funny.
{Dean shrugged.}
Dean Harper: Yeah, I know.
{Uriel glances at the camera and sits up a little straighter.}
Uriel Black: Shite. So! Dean Harper, desperate and in need of attention, where have you been since that match against Rob Diamond?
Dean Harper: Thatâs what the interview is about?
Uriel Black: There are people who are desperate to get their hands on you. People have to wonder where youâve been or who youâve been with.
Dean Harper: Arenât you pre-show panel now? Who gave you interviewing rights?
Uriel Black: Harper, we both know not many people can keep me from getting what I want.
Dean Harper: No one else wanted to do the interview did they?
Uriel Black: You did lick a manâs skull. You do have a pension for kidnapping.
Dean Harper: Maybe.
Uriel Black: And we both know you need a firm hand. We both know after Warren-
Dean Harper: I will break your jaw if you finish that.
Uriel Black: Iâd love to see you try.
Dean Harper: We done?
Uriel Black: Answer the question, Brat Prince.
Dean Harper: Go fuck yourself.
{Dean walks off, Uriel smiles into the camera.}
Uriel Black: Well, there you have it.
------------------------------------SIX MAN TAG MATCHWarren Kane, SUPERMOON and Steve D. Dackle vs Wolf Folder, Phillip Deforrest and Billie Parris------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following six man tag team match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: A six man tag match. This is going to be interesting thing to watch, donât you think?
Vasco Dias: Itâs going to be chaos. I am down for Chaos.
{As âEverythig is awesomeâ 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}
{The X-Files theme hits the PA as Tom Taylor makes his way to the ring.}
{As âfinal countdown startsâ Phillip walks heroricly from the back, strikes a pose, then runs into the ring to take his place in the ring}
Alison Valance: The first down to the ring⌠Billie Parris, Wolf Folder and Phillip DeForrest!
Terri Morasco: All three of these man look ready to go as soon as the bell rings.
Vasco Dias: Wolf seems to be writing down some notes thoughâŚ
{"SUPPPAAAAA MOOOOOOONNNN!" The dulcet tones of a solo guitar rift echoes throughout the P.A. system as SUPERMOON emerges from the curtains. In his hands, he plays his own entrance theme music on a 1968 Olympic White Fender Stratocaster. His nostrils spew vape smoke with the aesthetic of watercolor pastels, forming a trail behind him like the swirling clouds of Jupiter while he makes his way down the ramp and around the ring. Embodying the souls of Jimi Hendrix and Prince, SUPERMOON circles the ring once, strumming, strutting, and getting funky while finishing the guitar solo in the ring. The guitar definitely needs a cigarette after this.}
{"Bullets" by Creed begins to play as the lights drop and a red spotlight hits the entrance ramp. Slowly, as if he is in another world, Dackle clods his way down towards the ring. He makes no acknowledgement of anything or anyone as he gets into the ring. He backs into the corner and leans against the turnbuckles, still off in his own little world. When the bell rings, he removes his vest.}
{The lights go out and the snow steady beat of New Divide by Linkin Park plays and the crowd gives a good cheer for Warren Kane as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face. He then heads towards the ring, stopping to touch hands with members of the crowd before stopping in front of the ring. Closes his eyes, takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms in the air getting a positive reaction from the crowd. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Alison Valance: second team down to the ringâŚ. Supermoon, Dackle and Warren Kane!
Terri Morasco: An interesting team on this side. We really have no idea what to expect here.
Vasco Dias: Thereâs a Kane here. Iâm hoping bloodshed.
{Warren enters for his team and Wolf enters for his despite Billie clearly being displeased by it. The bell rings and like a shot Warren is across the ring with a pele kick to Wolfâs head. Wolf gets up and Warren uses a jumping knee to knock wolf back down again.}
Terri Morasco: Warren is wasting no time here, is he?
{ Warren gives Wolf a chance to get back to his feet. Wolf makes a play to hit Warren but Warren hits him with a short arm clothes line. Billie is yelling from the side lines while Supermoon and Dackle seem distracted talking to each other.}
Terri Morasco: Warren might finish this match alone.
Vasco Dias: You deal with the hand you have, Terri. Itâs the only thing that makes sense.
{Warren hits Wolf with a âSplosion. As wolf gets back up to his feet he takes a KIDD KICK!}
Vasco Dias: And that is all she wrote.
{Warren goes for the pin

3!!!!}
Alison Valance: And your winner⌠Warren Kane!
{Warren raises his arm up as New Divide plays over the loud speakers. The music cuts briefly to the sound of someone clapping backstage and Warren stops celebrating to look up the ramp with an unreadable expression before we cut to commercial.}
------------------------------------SINGLES MATCHAlmir Sayed vs Chance Craven------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: This will be an interesting match to be sure.
Vasco Dias: Not that interesting, Terri.
{âSnake Charmerâ 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: Almir looks ready to go already.
Vasco Dias: Of course he does. Why wouldnât he? Heâs a former champion.
{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: Next down to the ring, weighing in at 320 pounds and standing at 6â1⌠Chance Craven!
Terri Morasco: chance has been silent for a little while since his last match. One has to wonder why.
Vasco Dias: Likely scared of facing a former champion!
{ As soon as the bell rings Almir hits Chance with a running boot to the face. He then hits Chance with a MONEY MAKER!}
Terri Morasco: oh my god!
Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!
{Almir goes for the pin
1
2
3!!}
Alison Valance: And your winner⌠Almir Sayed!
Terri Morasco: chance tried his best there but it didnât seem to be enough.
Vasco Dias: Trying your best doesnât mean anything in this business.
------------------------------------SEGMENTCan Abraxes and Hideaki work together tonight?------------------------------------{The camera comes on to Maria Iniesta holding a mic standing outside Abraxes' lockerroom}
Maria Iniesta: I am here to ask Abraxes if he thinks there will be trouble in tonight's match--
{The locker room door opens}
 {Camera comes back on and Maria is shaking slightly.}Maria Iniesta: Everything....will be... fine. ------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHWRITING CHALLENGE: 500 word rp limit Gabriela Luna vs Diamond Steele------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: We have the Luchadora champion versus a recently returned Diamond Steele
Vasco Dias: I donât assume this is going to be that impressive.
{Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring boos. Accompanying is that of her husband "Lady Steele" The Drag Queen. He smirks as he pushes up his breasts as he tells the crowd to pipe down. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more boos. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who boos louder than before. She flips them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin. Lady Steele just smirks as he claps for his wife on the outside of the ring.}
Alison Valance: The first down to the ring⌠Diamond Steele!
Terri Morasco: Diamond has been working hard to try and get herself back on top.
Vasco Dias: Weâll see how long that lasts.
{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 her feet and coming up with a defiant shout of joy. She runs over to the nearest empty corner, leaping up onto the second turnbuckle and further beckoning the crowd on before hopping down into a crouch and waiting for the match to start.}
Alison Valance: And next to the ring Gabriela Luna!
Terri Morasco: Gabriela has had a hell of a year.
Vasco Dias: Sheâs held her belt with distinction.
{ both women enter to ring and wait for the bell to ring. Kate hits Gabriela with a spinning heel kick. The shorter women takes the hit and goes to the mat. Diamond picks her up but Gabriela hits her in the stomach with a strike.}
Terri Morasco: Gabriela not that easy to take down.
{ Gabriela hits Diamond with a La Tijera, knocking the taller blonde down. Kate gets back up and hits Gabriela with a Pele Kick.}
Terri Morasco: this is going back and forth. It could be anyoneâs match/
Vasco Dias: You naive understand of wrestling would almost be amusing Terri.
{Gabriela hits Diamond with a Heels over Head/ She then goes and hits her with a Phenix splash}
Vasco Dias: and there we go.
{Gabriela goes for the pin

3!!!!}
Alison Valance: And your winner⌠Gabriela Luna!
------------------------------------SEGMENTBelle of The Ball Announcement------------------------------------{The camera comes on to Jess Fowler sitting in front of a fire place with a fire roaring as they drinks a cup of tea.}
Jess Fowler: Good evening, with Diamonds are Forever just around the corner I felt now may be the perfect time to speak on some changes happening to the female division.
{Jess sips the tea.}
Jess Fowler: The first being we are opening our enrollment for new female talent. There will be a tournament called âBelle of the Ballâ. We welcome all new female talent to enter and give the chance for our female division to breathe and grow. Winning the tournament will not only give you bragging rites, a wonderful money prize, it grants you the chance to pick who you will face on the grandest stage of them allâNight of the Immortals. If you choose the World title then there will be a triple threat with the Iron Maiden winner of 2020. We are overjoyed with the idea of new female talent. May the best women win.
{Jess pauses.}
Jess Fowler: In some more somber news we will be retiring the Open Weight and the Luchadora belts. At Diamonds are Forever we will be having Brooklyn and Gabriela facing each other in a winner takes all match. Who ever wins that match will be the last champion of both belts and will go on to face the World Champion at Metamorphosis. That will unite the three old belts into one being.
{Jess smiles}
Jess Fowler: And shortly after we will announce the new second tier female belt. Cheers.
 ------------------------------------SINGLES MATCHCharity Crown on CommentaryEmma Danielson vs Candy Kane------------------------------------{"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.}
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, the IWF Womenâs World Champion, Charity Crowne!
Vasco Dias: Praise Jesus, we have a blessing joining us at ringside! Stay quiet, Morasco, we need to welcome her properly!
Terri Morasco: You know sheâs engaged, right? And you are so not her type?
Vasco Dias: Just because I canât enlist doesnât mean I donât support the troops.
{Charity slides in at the booth next to Terri, keeping herself studiously on the other side of the table from Vasco, and puts a headset on.}
Charity Crowne: Terri. Vasco. So good of me to be here.
Terri Morasco: So you say.
Vasco Dias: Donât backtalk the champion, Morasco. You know better than that! Or do you, I wonder? Sometimes I question the wisdom of your actions against such a flawless being as the Crowne Jewel.
Charity Crowne: On the one hand, thank you for the recognition. On the otherâŚeurgh, I feel dirty just listening to you. You know what, Vasco? Silence while the Crowne Jewel is at the table.
Vasco Dias: As you command!
Terri Morasco: âŚmy God, itâs been that easy this entire timeâŚ
{As the music starts Candy struts down the ramp before climbing into the ropes posing for the crowd.}
Alison Valance: Introducing first, weighing in at 120 pounds, Candy Kane!
Terri Morasco: Candy Kane certainly hasâŚahemâŚstaked her claim to Steve Awesome in recent weeks,
Charity Crowne: And she can have him. A shame, though. Wasting a beautiful woman like that on a shrivelled lech like Steve Awesome? Criminal.
Terri Morasco: Wait, youâreâ
Charity Crowne: Just because Iâm off the market doesnât mean I canât admire those who are, Terri. Simple aesthetic recognition.
Vasco Dias: I TOLD you!
Charity Crowne: Ah! What. Did. I. Say?
Vasco Dias: Yesâm.
{The opening riff of âSlave to the Grindâ 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: And her opponent! From Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, weighing in at 157 pounds, she is the 2019 Heiress to the Throne, Emma Danielson!
Terri Morasco: The ultimate paradoxical underdog story, Emma Danielson is looking in just a few weeks to clinch her twenty-year legacy with a second turn atop the world of wrestling as champion at your expense, Charity.
Charity Crowne: And when she fails again, she can crawl back into the bottom of a bottle as she always does. No matter how mighty she is, the Diamond Cutter fits all sizes.
{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: Teacher versus student here in action on Sacrifice, and here we go!
{The bell rings, and the two women meet mid-ring, exchanging words. Emma nods to Candy, who sighs, and they step back before locking up in the middle of the ring. Emma quickly snares a side headlock on Candy, bearing down on her with her height and strength advantage, and Candy claws at her forearms, looking for release. Emma snaps her over with a headlock takeover, latching eyes onto Charity, only for Candy to quickly snare her down in a headscissors. Emma kicks up and out, Candy scrambling to her feet and right into a quick arm drag, and catches the second rebound with a back elbow, dropping into a one count.}
Terri Morasco: Quick start here, with a very deliberate choice of opening by Emma Danielson. Whatâre you getting from this so far, champ?
Charity Crowne: That Iâm already so far inside her head I can tell all of her psychoses. Sheâs a sad woman looking for approval that sheâll never have and never deserve. Shall I go on?
Terri Morasco: No, thatâs quite enough.
{Emma lashes out for a spinning backfist, but Candy ducks under and nails a low dropkick to Emmaâs knee, bringing the bigger woman down. Candy rifles a series of lethal-looking kicks into the quadriceps and knee of her former teacher, capping it with a spin kick to the chest that rocks Emma back. Candy hits the ropes, clearly looking for her signature SHINING HURRICANRANA! NO! Emma catches her mid-leap, using her prodigious strength to arrest her momentum, and lays her out with a MASSIVE sit-out powerbomb! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Emma nods, pushing up to her feet, and grabs Candy by the wrist, looking to whip her into the corner. Candy reverses, looking to send Emma the other way, and Emma reverses again, shooting Candy off. Candy leaps up to the second rope, bounding to the top before twisting and throwing herself into a CROSSBODY! COVER! ONE! TWO! THRâKICKOUT!}
Terri Morasco: We were half a second from seeing the upset of the year there! Candy Kane caught Emma Danielson by surprise with that crossbody, and it almost earned her the three count!
Charity Crowne: All it takes is one moment of distraction and you can be caught. And unlike that crossbody, the Diamond Cutter hits hard and hits fast. She lets herself be like that, Iâll be looking forward to being champion in the new year. Call itâŚ2020 vision?
Terri Morasco: UghâŚ
{Candy hauls Emma up, drilling her with a HEADBUTT between the eyes, and slips her head behind Emmaâs arm, planting her foot and rearing back for the FLATLINER! NO! Emma fires an elbow back into Candyâs head! A second! A third! Candy stumbles, and Emma slips her leg around, taking off towards the ropes. Candy whirls about, flinging a wild rolling forearm, but Emma ducks underneath, coming off the ropes again and practically DECAPITATING Candy with the BROOKLYN HANGOVER! Emma covers, looking straight at the commentary table! ONE! TWO! THREE! âSlave to the Grindâ plays as Emma gets to her feet, glaring daggers at the champion, who stands and mockingly applauds.}
Alison Valance: Here is your winner, Emma Danielson!
Charity Crowne: Oh, bra-VO, Iâm QUITE impressed! Well DONE, Emma! See me quaking in my stylish yet comfortable boots!
Terri Morasco: An emphatic win for Emma Danielson here, and the Womenâs World Champion showing no fear going into her first title defense at Diamonds are Forever. I can feel the hatred between these two!
Vasco Dias: Can I speak now?
Terri Morasco: Sadly, I canât call this show alone. Iâve asked. Fowler said no.
Vasco Dias: It pays to have friends in high places.
Terri Morasco: Nonetheless, our main event for the last IWF pay-per-view of the decade is set! Emma Danielson! Charity Crowne! Womenâs World Title! What a showdown we have coming our way!
{Emma makes the belt gesture at Charity, who pulls off her headset and climbs up onto the table, hoisting the belt high and firing trash talk back at Emma as we fade to commercial.}------------------------------------SEGMENTIs Caleb Lockwood back?------------------------------------{Looking a little shaken Maria knocks on a locker room door.}
Maria Iniesta: Mr. Lockwood? Do you have a moment to talk about --
{The door slams shut}Maria Iniesta: I'll take that as a no... ------------------------------------SINGLES MATCHFiona McFly vs Mandi Matthews------------------------------------[DING-DING-DING!!!] Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! { We return to the announcerâs table to find James Gilmore sitting between Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias. }Terri Morasco: Well ladies and gentlemen, we are honored to have James Gilmore with us for the next match, and as of a little after 11:00 AM in the Denver metro area, he can add another accolade to his trophy case! Congratulations to the newly-minted 2019 IWF Superstar of the Year! Vasco Dias: Oh man, Spike is rollinâ in his grave right now! James Gilmore: Been doinâ this gig full-time since 2012, and never did I imagine that a company and its fans would bestow such an honor on me. Iâm incredibly humbled by that, I truly am. Terri Morasco: Jack Gaither, who brought you into this business, would be very proud of you from heaven above⌠James Gilmore: While that means a lot to me, I know thereâs still one thing left on my bucket list. Iâll address that after this match! {Umbrella by All Time Low starts rocking the speakers as Mandi Matthews steps out onto the stage, a bit overwhelmed in a good way by all the people and there warm reception. She jams a bit to the music and then she jogs down to the ring as the chorus plays.}Because when the sun shines we'll shine together Told you I'll be here forever Said I'll always be your friend Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end {She slides into the ring and jams out the song with the crowd as they chant along.}Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella You can stand under my umbrella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay Under my umbrella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay {The music slowly fades as Mandi smiles at the crowd.}James Gilmore: Tell ya what, Iâve been likinâ what Iâve seen from Mandi all year. Sheâs got plenty of great things in store for her in the future. Vasco Dias: Brown-noser⌠Terri Morasco: Heâs trying to be neutral, Vasco⌠{ 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: The Pepsi Center is exploding for the woman who has been named the 2019 IWF Heroine of the Year! Vasco Dias: And Mandiâs the runner-up?! Oh man, sheâs gonna have a jealous chip on her shoulder! James Gilmore: Aww câmon, man! Both these ladies were highly-deservinâ of the honor in my book! Have some class, even if itâs COACH class! And besides...I gotta good feelinâ Jackâs lookinâ down at Fi from heaven with a big, wide grin on his mug. Terri Morasco: Indeed, Fionaâs come a very long way since she first started nearly five years ago... [DING-DING-DING!!!] { Fiona McFly and Mandi Matthews gave the Denver crowd a very entertaining match. Neither woman showed a willingness to cheat as they utilised their wrestling prowess to the fullest, each scoring a two-count. Ten minutes into the match, Fiona seized control as Mandi, after connecting with her top-rope axe-handle called the Mandi-Capper, makes the big mistake of attempting a high cross-body without seeing her opponent, causing her to hit nothing but canvas when the Northern Irishwoman rolled out of the way! }Terri Morasco: Ow! Nothing but ring! Vasco Dias: That was a fatal mistake⌠James Gilmore: Yeah, it was. Itâs like John Elway throwinâ the ball off his back foot into double coverage. You canât afford to make a mistake like that in a crucial moment, and I wouldnât be surprised if this comes back to bite Mandi... { Indeed, Mandi is left vulnerable as Fiona quickly grabs her left arm and locks it into her dreaded HALESTORM kimura! The crowd explodes as Blue Shoes looks on, and Mandi winds up being left with no other choice but to tap out! }[DING-DING-DING!!!] Alison Valance: Here is you winner, by submission...FIOOOOONAAAA!!!! MCFLYYYY!!!!! { âLove Bites (So Do I)â begins playing again as Fiona celebrates her victory. She then hops down from the ring and heads toward the announcerâs table, where she reaches over and hugs James Gilmore and whispers something into his ear--which is picked up by the headset he was wearing. }Fiona McFly: JJ, youâve earned the Superstar of the Year title, and now...itâs time for you to show the people why. I know you will, but run with it... { With both ladies eventually leaving towards the backstage area, and with a smile on his face as the Halestorm tune fades out⌠}------------------------------------SEGMENTJames Gilmore makes a challenge------------------------------------{ ...the Islander alum stands up, takes his headset off, and grabs a microphone as a loud âJJ!â chant kicksup. }James Gilmore: Man, you dudes and dudettes are amazing! (cheers) Just in case ya didnât know what was goinâ on, the IWF has named yours truly its Superstar of the Year for 2019! { The fans go wild as JJ develops a loving smile as he begins to fully comprehend what this moment has meant to him. }James Gilmore: To have this same honor as Spike Kane, Renee Pleasant, Cable Arcane, Andrew Jacobsen, and Dean Harper...means a helluva lot to me, as a professional and as a human beinâ. The thing is though...I couldnât have done this without ALL of you peeps out there, who stuck with me when the times were really, really bad...and peeps like Fi or Rob, who taught me that ya never know where this lifeâs gonna take you. { The crowd cheers again as James pulls out a small Denver Nuggets-themed handkerchief and wipes his eyes with it. }James Gilmore: That beinâ said...Fi told me that I should take this Superstar of the Year honor and run with it, and believe me...Iâm GOINâ to run with it. Ya see, thereâs this talk about the womenâs division and how theyâre gonna close out 2019 by merginâ the Openweight and Luchadora titles. So I figured...why not start off the New Year of 2020 with a bang Iâm sure yâall will love to see! { The Denver crowd leaps to its feet. }Vasco Dias: Whatâs he talkinâ about?! Terri Morasco: I havenât a clue⌠James Gilmore: Ever since the Extinction Event, I got to thinkinâ of one simple thing: Rob, me and you...oughta have another go-âround, whaddaya say?! { A âROB!â chant ensues. }James Gilmore: Yeahhhh...thatâs right, âcuz you all know in your hearts that Rob and I represent the pinnacle of the IWF is really all about--givinâ you dudes and dudettes a helluva fun show! So letâs see how this goes: Rob Diamond, James Gilmore, tagline âThe Friendly Civil Warâ... { James pauses for a moment before closing his eyes. }James Gilmore: ...StrongStyle Champion versus Menâs World Champion, Metamorphosis 2020, TITLE FOR TITLE...IN THE DRAGONâS DEN!!! { Hoo-boy, that got everyone riled up now! A loud âholy shitâ chant starts up as James takes in the moment with a determined look on his mug. }James Gilmore: Just remember Rob...no matter who wins or loses?! You will be made famous, you will be tested, and you will be left⌠Fans: SHELL-SHOCKED!!! { âShellShockedâ begins playing as JJ tosses the microphone away. }------------------------------------TAG TEAM MATCHWRITING CHALLENGE: Straight promo challenge, no day in the life content Abraxes and Hideaki Kazama vs Steve Awesome and Bob Pooler------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: It isnât often we see two teams made up of rivals having to team up together to beat another team. Can either side really work together to win?
Vasco Dias: I;âm really hopping they can not. I like chaos.
{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 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 âUnstoppableâ 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.}
Alison Valance: The first team down to the ring⌠Bob Pooler and Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: Bob and Steve have had a lot of beef since Steve started saying some things about the performance center and injured one of the top talent there.
Vasco Dias: Steve is the villain of the year if rumors I hear are correct.
{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. 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.}
{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 last to the ring, the team Abraxes and Hideaki Kazama.
Terri Morasco: Abraxes has Adel Travent still I think. That should give Bob at least something to want to fight for.
Vasco Dias: A championship is not on the line. We all know Bob and Steve do their best wrestling when a belt is involved.
{ Abraxes goes into the ring first motioning for someone to go in, Steve steps through the ropes. As soon as the bell rings, Steve tags Bob in. Bob looks frustrated but steps through the rope. Steve waits until Bobâs back is turned before jumping down from the siode of the ring, wiping his hands and march back up the ramp.}
Terri Morasco: Wait, he canât be seriously doing this can he?!
{Abraxes seems to find this amusing before hitting Bob with a head butt. He gets bob in the corner and hits him again and again with a knee strike.}
Terri Morasco: I canât believe Steve just is leaving his team mate to this monster.
Vasco Dias: I can.
{ Hideaki looks between the ring and where Steve is walking off and leaves his side to try and stop Steve. Though no mic picks up on their conversation itâs cleary Hideaki is trying to get Steve to go try to help his team mate. Steve makes a swing at Hideaki but almost on instinct the younger man hits him with a double leg take down, knocking steve to the ramp hard. Hideaki looks apologetic and starts apologizing.}
Vasco Dias: This is hilarious.
{Abraxes hits Bob with a CONSIGN TO DREAM! Followed by a pin

Terri Morasco: I would not have predicted this.
Vasco Dias: This is hilarious.
