SINGLES MATCH
Abraxes vs Wolf Folder

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

Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

Terri Morasco: this will be an interesting match to see played out.

Vasco Dias: Abraxes usually kidnaps these types.

{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: Next, standing at 6’3’’ weighing in at 285 pounds from The Pit… Abraxes!

Terri Morasco: Abraxes is always someone to watch.

Vasco Dias: Mostly because he shows up when you least expect it.

{The X-Files theme hits the PA as Tom Taylor makes his way to the ring.}

Alison Valance: and last down to the ring at 5’11’’ weighing in at 180 pounds from Richmond, Virginia… WOLF FOLDER!

Terri Morasco: Wolf was quiet leading up to this match.

Vasco Dias: He can’t share all his secrets, Terri.

{As soon as the bell rings Abraxes comes in with a powerslam sending Wolf down to the mat. Abraxes picks him up and hits him with a back body drop to the cheer of the crowd.}

Terri Morasco: I am deeply worried about Wolf.

{Abraxes lets Wolf get up and make a run for a move but Abraxes hits him with Hush.}

Vasco Dias: I think we are getting close here.

{Wolf is lifted to his feet and CONSIGN TO DREAM follow by the win!}

Alison Valance: and your winner…. ABRAXES!

Terri Morasco: Someone get Wolf out of there!

SINGLES MATCH
Fiona McFly vs Gabriela Luna

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

{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.}

Terri Morasco: Gabriela Luna, one of the more dominant champions in IWF we’ve had, is set to go for our next contest!

Vasco Dias: I’ve got my popcorn ready for this one!

Terri Morasco: Her opposition ain’t no slouch either!

{ 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. }

Vasco Dias: Look how even-keeled and level-headed Fiona is. You don’t see that from her very often…

Terri Morasco: Yeah, but we all know that fire inside her is being stoked!

Vasco Dias: As a good ship’s captain ought to say, steady as she goes…

[DING-DING-DING!!!]

{ This match was quite a fun rollercoaster ride that lasted a solid twenty minutes, with heartstopping thrills throughout. Seven minutes in, after both ladies sized each other up move for move, Gabi would take control with a gamut of fast-paced maneuvers, from a pair of snap suplexes, a tilt-a-whirl armdrag takedown, and a corkscrew-like tornado DDT that scored her a count of two from Blue Shoes. }

Terri Morasco: You have to think, at some point Fi’s gonna have to keep Gabi on the ground.

Vasco Dias: She can keep ME on the ground anytime…

Terri Morasco: Oh, get SERIOUS!!

{ Eleven minutes in, both ladies would wind up fighting on the outside, with the zebra getting to the count of six before Fiona takes control, dumping her opponent back in. Indeed, McFly keeps Luna on the ground with a pair of vertical suplexes, followed by a reverse chinlock that Gabi tried to get out of! Yet Fiona, showing off some new wrestling quirks of her own, plasters Gabi to the deck with a high Samoan drop that gets her a two-count as well! }

Terri Morasco: Fiona showing off a steady hand here…

Vasco Dias: Oh, I wishGabi would give me a steady hand to my neck--it’s killin’ me!

Terri Morasco: She’ll smack you in the kisser, Vasco!

{ We’re now fifteen minutes into the match, and Gabi has Fiona cornered. She springs to life, hitting McFly with her trademark Onatopp hurracanrana driver! Blue Shoes gets into the position and makes the count… }

1…!

2…!!

THREEEE--NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

{ Gabi scows at the ref as he holds up the dreaded two fingers! She then pulls the Northern Irishwoman up by the hair and tries to go for a second Onatopp Driver--but McFly squirms out of trouble at the last split second! Before Luna can know what hit her, she winds up on the business end of Fiona’s signature Iron Claw! The crowd goes wild as Fiona digs her nails into Gabi’s temple, Blue Shoes making sure no eyeballs are being gouged! Fiona lets go and nails her victim with a discus punch before going for the pin… }

1…!

2…!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW....!!!!!!!!

{ Fiona perks up her brows as she gets the two-finger treatment! Keeping a level mind though, McFly pulls Gabi into position for a straight-inverted DDT! Gabi, to her credit, wriggles her way out of the hold and plants her with a DDT! Luna then climbs up to the third buckle and attempts her patented PHOENIX SPLASH--and hits it! The crowd goes apeshit as Gabi goes for the cover, hooking both legs…! }

Terri Morasco: The pin!

Vasco Dias: Game over!

1…!

2…!!

THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

[DING-DING-DING!!!]

Terri Morasco: What a match!

Vasco Dias: That was fun to watch!

{ Gabi nods warmly before giving Fiona a respectful thumbs-up. }

SEGMENT
Haseem makes a match

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

{ We catch up with the valiant Haseem as he exits the office of Eddie D. Haseem smiles at the camera. }

Haseem: Next week at Metamorphosis, the great and honorable Almir Sayed, the CHOSEN ONE! Has been granted a one on one rematch with the derelict Hector Idlesias.

{ Haseem sneers. }

Haseem: Under one condition. THERE WILL BE NO CHEATING!

{ Haseem says with scorn. }

Haseem: And to ensure this I have been given the position of rule enforcer as well as two more referees at ring side to keep an eye on that Orange Man supporting piece of gutter trash. Almir will see you next week, Hector.

{ With that, Haseem walks off. }

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

SINGLES MATCH
Writing Challenge: "Old School promo"
Hideaki Kazama vs Jack Ferriman

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

Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

Terri Morasco: tonight will be the third time these two men have shared the ring together since they came into this company.

Vasco Dias: It’s been pretty one sided this whole time though. I doubt that is changing tonight.

{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.}

Alison Valance: Next, standing at 5’10’’ weighing in at 195 pounds from Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan… Hideaki Kazama!

Terri Morasco: Hideaki gave a pretty impassioned speech leading up to this match. He spoke of heart and souls. There’s been a lot of talk about it on social media.

Vasco Dias: Mostly Tumblr.

{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 the long 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: Next down to the ring, standing at 5’8’’ weighing in at 180 pounds, from Seattle Washington… Jack Ferriman!

Terri Morasco: Jack is looking pretty well considering how last week’s match ended.

Vasco Dias: You spend enough time in this company Dean Harper attacks or threatens your life. It’s just the way things go.

{Hideaki and Jack smile at each other before sprinting across the ring and hitting Jack with a Low dropkick to the knee. Jack bounces against the rope before hitting back Hideaki with a snapmare. Hideaki backs off slightly, swinging back with a few Mounted palm strikes. Jack swings back to hitting Hideaki with a European uppercut.}

Terri Morasco: Jack and Hideaki are really going to town on one another.

{Hideaki comes back at Jack with a Run onto the Rocks. }

Vasco Dias: Here we go.

{ with a leap and SKYTWIST PRESS! Hideaki hits Jack to the mat. He goes for the pin
1

3!!}

Alison Valance: and your winner…. Hideaki Kazama!

Terri Morasco: Hideaki did it!

Vasco Dias: I was hoping for some more but not a bad match.

{Hideaki gets up off of Jack and offers him a hand to getup. Jack takes the hand and shakes it. Jack nods. Hideaki then pulls Jack into a tight hug that Jack smiles and returns.}

Dean Harper wants a match at Meta

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

{The camera follows Jess Fowler into an office}

Jess Fowler: Mr. Harper we do have to discuss the assault that was done to Mr. Ferriman last week.

{Dean sitting in a chair with his feet on the desk.}

Dean Harper: Can you prove I did it?

Jess Fowler: ...No.

Dean Harper: Then you can't do shit.

Jess Fowler: Mr. Verona was quiet clear--

Dean Harper: I'm aware of the deal I made with Verona. I haven't violated it. But I'm certainly not getting my end of the deal.

Jess Fowler: Mr. Harper--

Dean Harper: {Gets up and walks over to where Jess is standing.} I haven't been booking a fucking months. That wasn't on my call. That wasn't because of an injury. You just stopped giving me work. I'm not some side piece you can ignore.

Jess Fowler: I understand--

{Dean slams his hand right on the side of Fowler's head.}

Dean Harper: I don't think you do. I'm not just hnaging out here for shits and giggles, Fowler. I want to be booked.

Jess Fowler: And we can don that, actually. There's someone who just earlier today was talking about you and metamorphosis and that could actually be a wonderful way for your return to--

Dean Harper: I'm not fight Caleb.

Jess Fowler: There's a lot of unresolved issues between you two since you betrayed The Pack and--

{Dean grabs Jess by the throat and slams him into the door.}

Dean Harper: Maybe I was unclear.

Jess Fowler: {Struggling to breath} Not Mr. Lockwod, crystal, yes.

{Dean drops Jess.}

Dean Harper: Good.

SINGLES MATCH
Hector Iglesias vs Warren Kane

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

Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

Terri Morasco: This will be an interesting fight to bear witness to.

Vasco Dias: We have the WAM versus Warren Kane. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

{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: Next, standing at 6’1’’ weighing in at 205 pounds from London, England… Warren Kane!

Terri Morasco: Warren is out here again even after how last weekended I was worried he might not be willing to be out here with out security.

Vasco Dias: Warren wasn’t the one attacked.

{The lights in the arena go black and the intro to Dont Tread on Me by Metallica begin to play. A lone spotlight shifts between red, white and blue on beat. The light illuminates The White American Male; Hector Iglesias as he saluted The American Flag. The song begins to pick up and the flag is raised up and then he starts marching down to the ring.}

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
I said don't tread on me

{Hector stops and admires the wrestling ring for a moment then slaps his face and pumps himself up. Then slides into the ring.}

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore
Don't tread on me

{He climbs a turnbuckle and raises his arms to bask in the cheers he thinks he is getting.}

Alison Valance: Next down to the ring, standing at 6’5’’ weighing in at 287 pounds, from Little Rock, Arkansas… “White American Male” Hector Iglesias!

Terri Morasco: Hector was quiet leading up to this match.

Vasco Dias: Men like Hector don’t need to waste time with talk, they can do things with passion and glory. By standing up for what they know is right!

Terri Morasco: ...I hate you so much right now.

{As soon as the bell rings Hector tries to leave the ring but Warren takes him into a 'Splosion}

Terri Morasco: Well this might be short.

Vasco Dias: Apparently.

{ with a leap and KIDD KICK Warren knocks Hector to the mat followed with a pin

3!!}

Alison Valance: and your winner…. Warren Kane!

{Dawn runs into the ring to congratulate her brother when the lights go out and when they come back on Caleb Lockwood is standing in the ring.}

Terri Morasco: Oh No...

Vasco Dias: Whelp.

{The Ref, grabs Dawn to keep her back but she fights against him. Warren does not get a chance to turn around before Caleb hits him in the back with a Beast of War knocking Warren to the mat. Caleb grabs a microphone off the mat.}

Caleb Lockwood: Come out, come out where ever you are.

{Security start filling the top of the ramp.}

Caleb Lockwood: Come on Dean. You might act like everything has changed between us but I know you better than ANYONE.

{Caleb puts a foot lightly on top of Warren’s head. There is a communication and Dean is at the top of the ramp, arms crossed.}

Caleb Lockwood: You are such an easy mark, Dean.

{Dean is being blocked by security but he shrugs his shoulders at Caleb.}

Caleb Lockwood: Fight me Dean.

{Dean shakes his head no.}

Caleb Lockwood: FIGHT ME! You stabbed me in the fucking back and the least you can do--you owe me a chance to repay your treachery with leaving you in a puddle of your own blood.

Dean Harper: No.

{Caleb passes slightly before pausing and going back to where Warren is on the mat.}

Caleb Lockwood: You don’t think I’ll do it?

Dean Harper: I know you will. But we both know He’s not involved.

Caleb Lockwood: Then say the words and stop me.

{Caleb look unhinged at the camera as Security gets closer.}

Dean Harper: I am not going to give you what you want.

Caleb Lockwood: No… No…Then I have to find someone else to play with at Metamorphosis.

{Dean’s face muscles tighten.}

Caleb Lockwood: Tell me something, Dean. What would hurt more for you? That I leave him hospitalized so he can never walk again or a break the cunt’s spell and he remembers why he walked out in the first place?

{Security as if sensing an answer grab Dean to force him out of the arena and they rush the ring before we cut to commercial.}

Rob and James sign the contract for their match at Metamorphosis

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

{ We find Terri Morasco standing on-stage between two podiums, each podium featuring wreaths decorated with classical European flair. }

Terri Morasco: Alright, ladies and gentlemen...this is the night we’ve been waiting for a little over a year! These two men have seen the highest of highs in IWF, and now...they will unify their respective Championships, next week at Metamorphosis! Without further delay…

{ “Shell Shocked” begins to play as James Gilmore walks out to his left-side podium wearing an all-black business suit with matching tie and Stetson cowboy hat. He places the StrongStyle belt on the front of the podium and doffs his hat to the cheering crowd. }

Terri Morasco: James Gilmore, two-time StrongStyle Champion and 2019 IWF Superstar of the Year as voted by you, the fans! Now JJ, 2020 is here and Meta is coming up next week. You’ve been around wrestling for a long time, so how does it feel to finally have a big spot like this, on a big stage?

James Gilmore: From the indy circuit to IWF, I’ve been workin’ my ass off full-time goin’ on eight years. Yet this journey to get here...it ain’t just about me, it’s about us. It’s about me and Rob bein’ the torchbearers for the men’s division, settin’ a standard of intensity that’s palpable, creatin’ competition the likes of which haven’t been seen in a long, long time. We...are a week away from continuin’ that trend, and even though we know there’s only gonna be one champ...nobody is gonna walk outta that ring a loser in MY heart.

Terri Morasco: I wonder if your friend and opponent feels the same way!?

{ “Wannabe” Punk Rock Remix hits the loud speakers to a huge pop from the crowd. Rob Diamond walks out with the World Title slung over his shoulder and a brand spanking new “Conways Forever” t-shirt complete with crossed poker rakes. Rob smiles out to the crowd, he and Gilmore fist bump before Rob takes to his podium. }

Terri Morasco: Rob, I asked James what it feels like to finally make it to the big stage but the big stage is somewhere you’ve been for quite a while now so, what’s it feel like knowing your next opponent is one of you best friends?

Rob Diamond: Terri, I’m not gonna stand here and grand stand and put my boy down. The only opponent more dangerous in professional wrestling than a bitter rival is a best friend. James has been traveling the world with me for a year now. He knows my routines, my habits, my go to moves. So how does it feel? It feels like we’re gonna have one hell of a good match! Win, lose or draw, I’m giving this all I’ve got and you bet your sweet asses this is gonna be a match of the year candidate!

{ James nods...then pulls out a gold-plated pen, themed to the upcoming series “Star Trek: Picard,” from his jacket pocket and, with a warm and brotherly grin on his mug, signs the contract without hesitation. }

James Gilmore: There ya have it, dude...your turn.

{ Rob looks over the contract and then to the smiling face of his close friend. Rob picks up the golden pen, clicks it and jots his name on the dotted line. }

Rob Diamond: May the best man win.

James Gilmore: Let’s rock ‘n’ roll…

{ The crowd cheers as the two best friends, brothers-in-arms, stand face to face with eyes glued on each other as the copyright banner appears at the bottom of the screen. }

Sabin / Madjinn: I hereby request a notion that the TV championship records be retired, and thus, the Gladiators Championship starts anew! That way J-TV will never break my record! Jun 10, 2024 17:11:47 GMT

J-TV: It's gonna be a cold day in hell before you take this TV Title away from me. I bet I look damned good with two belts though. Jun 10, 2024 10:02:08 GMT
