SEGMENT
"Who can I trust?"

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

{ Backstage, the InFamous locker room, Spike and Rob seem to be in the middle of a heated discussion as IWF camera’s carefully peek through the opening in the door. }

Rob Diamond: I’m just not sure about this.

Spike Kane: Seriously?

Rob Diamond: What?

Spike Kane: You’re not sure about this, after everything you’ve done in your career?

{ Rob actually looks hurt for a moment as Spike walks around him. }

Rob Diamond: That was then, I’m trying to make a change.

Spike Kane: People don’t change Rob, they just become more of who they already are.

{ Spike grabs Rob by the shoulders. }

Spike Kane: You’re my best friend, my family, I can’t do this without you, I need you out there man.

{ Rob looks away, clearly Spike is tugging on his heart strings. }

Spike Kane: If I can’t trust you then who can I trust?

{ He doesn’t answer him right away, he just locks eyes with him and Spike silently pleads for his friends trust. }

Spike Kane: Can I trust you?

Rob Diamond: Yeah…

Spike Kane: Good. Now I’ve gotta get ready.

{ Rob doesn’t look very pleased as he heads for the door, the IWF camera quickly backs off and fades to black as we head down the hall way wondering what that conversation was about. }

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

SINGLES MATCH
Cyrus Daniels vs Killian Creed

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

{As the clicking and didgeridoo of 'Sixes and Sevens' by Ash Dargan kick in, Cyrus Daniels walks to the ring with a purpose, Cyrus looks out at the sea of free people around the arena with a noticeable look of disdain.Cyrus uses the ropes to pull himself onto the apron and step over the ropes and into the ring. Cyrus walks to the centre of the ring, looking at the crowd but he seems disinterested in engaging with them on any level, he just wants the match to start.}

Terri Morasco: Cyrus is a huge man...

Vasco Diaz: His strength is amazing....

{“Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace hits the speaker system; which brings about a mixed reaction from the crowd. The volume intensifies as Killian Creed steps onto the stage. He pauses for a moment, looking at the crowd with an expressionless face, before moving towards the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and, similar to the way he did on the stage, he pauses in the middle of the ring and looks at the crowd. He proceeds towards a neutral corner and awaits the start of the match.}

Vasco Diaz: Killian Creed is a technical wizard and has been a breathe of fresh air in IWF

Terri Morasco: He is a future champion...

{The bell rings and Killian charges in showing no intimidation even though Daniels is almost a foot taller and outweight him by over a hundred pounds. Killian hits Daniels with strikes from all angles, low leg kicks and mid riff kicks with forearms and chops to the chest. Daniels seems surprised by the attack and covers up into the corner as Killian continues to unload on the big man with stiff shots. Killian steps back and leaps up with a dropkick hitting Daniels in the chest. Killian pops back up to his feet and goes for another kick to the midsection, Daniels catches Killians leg and picks him up before slamming him down in a powerslam, Killian holds his back as Daniels shakes off the attack from the opening of the match.}

Terri Morasco: Killian just unleashed on Daniels

Vasco Diaz: But cyrus overpowered the much smaller opponent

{Daniels goes for a huge clothesline on Killian who ducks under it and runs to the ropes, as he comes back Killian launches himself into Daniels with a spinning heel kick but Daniels doesn't go down. Killian gets up and hits a spinning heel kick to Daniels stomach bending him over he then hits a spinning back fist sending daniels down to one knee. Killian runs at Daniels but Daniels gets to his feet and hits a sidewalk slam. Daniels goes for the pin 1...2.....Killian kicks out.}

Vasco Diaz: Oh daniels was so close....

Terri Morasco: Killian was able to kick out

{Daniels pulls Killian up and hits a powerbomb, he holds on to killian and lifts him up again hitting a second powerbomb, Daniels shows his incredible strength and goes it a third time slamming Killian to the mat. Cyrus puts his fist in the air and calls for the price of freedom (f-5), he picks killian up on his shoulders and spins him, but killian grabs Cyrus' head and crashes to the mat with an ace crusha!. He pins 1...2....kickout. Killian gets to his feet and locks in a half crab, Cyrus reaches out to the ropes and makes it easily with his huge frame. Killian releases the hold but jumps up dropping a knee and all his weight onto Daniels' back. Daniels gets to his knee's holding his back and Killian hits a superkick to Daniels, he goes for another pin 1....2...Daniels kicks out and Killian slams his fist to the mat in frustration}

Vasco Diaz: Killian almost had him!

Terri Morasco: But Daniels took that vicious shot 

{Killian goes to lock in the rear naked choke, Daniels falls back with Killian wrentching it in. Daniels fights to his feet and runs backwards into the turnbuckle. Killian drops down and Daniels spins around pulling Killian into the gift of time (irish curse)}

Terri Morasco: Oh the gift of time backbreaker!

Vasco Diaz: This could be the beginning of the end

{Daniels pulls killian up for the price of freedom again(f-5) and again as he spins Killian around Killian drops down behind Cyrus and goes for the spinning elbow, Daniels catches Killian and sets him up for the capitol punishment (powerbomb lungblower) he goes for the pin 1....2.....3}

CRUISER WEIGHT SINGLES MATCH
Mike Machado w/ Alex Jones vs Gjenrei w/ Cable Arcane

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

{The opening guitar riffs to “Mustache Man” by Cake blare over the PA system, leading into an explosion of pyrotechnics. "Mediocre" Mike Machado stumbles through the smoke that is remaining, fanning his face and gasping for oxygen. The fans give him a mixed but generally positive response; a mixture of pitied cheers and genuinely appreciative roars. A feint chant of "Me-di-ocre - clap clap clapclapclap” starts up as Machado makes it to the ring. He slides through the bottom ropes and begins to do his pre-match stretches, including cherry pickers and windmills. Alex Jones walks down to ringside dressed in street clothes and a hoodie.}

Terri Morasco: Mike Machado with Alex Jones at his side....

Vasco Diaz: Alex doesn't even look like he want's to be here

{The lights dim as "Ryoujoku no Ame" by Dir En Grey starts to play. The masked man known only as "Gjenrei" steps out from behind the curtain and kneels at the upper part of the ramp as the drum beats start to kick in. He waits, his hands folded in prayer, then the music amps up and comes full force. He leaps from his knees to his feet as a short pyro burst explodes on either side of the ramp. He walks down the ramp, and ascends one of the corner turnbuckles, gazing out over the packed crowd. Then he sits himself on top of the turnbuckle, crossed legged, and meditates until the match is about to get underway. Cable Arcane gets on the apron and talks to Gjenrei before the match starts}

Terri Morasco: Last week these two were shown to be the masked men causing all this trouble

Vasco Diaz: Honorbound and Infamous together?....that's a strong team...

{Cable jumps off the apron and Gjenrei jumps down onto the mat, the bell rings and Gjenrei attacks a few low kicks to the legs followed by a stiff roundhouse to the chest sending him down. Machado holds his chest and sits up, Gjenrei kicks Mike in the back, then the chest, then the back then another to the chest sending Mike back onto his back. Gjenrei does a flipping leg drop and then he rolls back to his feet before doing a standing shooting star press into a pin 1....2.....Mike kicks out and sits up, Gjenrei stays on the attack and goes for a roundhouse to Mike's head, Machado ducks thinking he avoided the kick but Gjenrei keeps the momentum going and hits a low enzugiri to the back of mike's head.}

Vasco Diaz: Mike is still on a mission to become a full fledged wrestler...but he just doesn't quite seem good enough...

Terri morasco: I have faith in Mike...

{Gjenrei runs to the ropes and leaps up wrapping his legs around Mike's head hitting a hurricanrana sending Mike across the ring, Mike rolls over and gets back to his feet, Gjenrei goes for a clothesline, Mike ducks and runs to the ropes, he comes back and tries to clothesline gjenrei but ends up falling over. Gjenrei shakes his head and Mike swings, Gjenrei blocks the shot and hits a kicking combo that ends in a spinning heel kick sending mike down, Gjenrei rolls to the apron and grabs the top rope, he measures mike up and goes for a springboard 450, Mike gets his knee's up and Gjenrei crashes across them.}

Terri Morasco: Go Mike! I beleive in you!

Vasco Diaz: He'll screw it up....he always does....

{Mike fires up and leaps up hitting a dropkick sending Gjenrei down, Mike gets up and looks around shocked it worked he goes for a pin 1...2....Gjenrei kicks out, Mike gets up quickly looking to capitalize on his momentum, he picks Gjenrei up for a powerbomb, Gjenrei lifts himself off Mike's shoulders and he lands behind him he runs to the ropes and springboards off the middle rope hitting the power shift(reverse ddt), he goes for the pin 1...2...Mike kicks out. Gjenrei gets to his feet and slaps Mike in the back of the head. Gjenrei pulls Mike up and whips him into the corner, Gjenrei comes in going for a splash, Mike moves and Gjenrei lands in the corner but then back flips hitting the Ikari (pele kick) Gjenrei spins around and goes for another pin 1....2....Mike kicks out}

Vasco Diaz: Gjenrei is vicious and brutal!

Terri Morasco: But Mike is hanging in there!

{Gjenrei pulls Mike up and goes for the devil lock ddt, Mike blocks it and drops down away from Gjenrei, he hits a superkick and gjenrei goes down. Mike gets to hits feet and gets onto the apron, he waits till gejnrei gets up and goes for a springboard crossbody, but he falls at gjenrei's feet.}

Terri Morasco: Oh lord....

Vasco Diaz: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

{Gjenrei pulls up Mike and sets him up for the devil lock again, Mike drops down and goes for a roll up 1...2.....Gjenrei kicks out, he runs at Mike and Mike drops down with the arm drag, Mike pops up and goes for the might of mediocrity(roll up cradle) 1...2....3}

Terri Morasco: MIKE WINS MIKE WINS

Vasco Diaz: DREAMS COME TRUE

{After the match mike gets to his feet, he turns around right into a hard shot from Cable who drops down and starts hitting Mike with rights and lefts, Gjenrei and Cable stop and look over at Alex Jones, Alex looks around and looks like he's about to get involved}

Terri Morasco: Get in there Alex!

Vasco Diaz: Alex looks like he's going to turn away...

{Alex shakes his head and turns his back on Mike, Gjenrei and Cable look at each other and pull Mike up before hitting him wit a double superkick knocking him out. Cable and Gjenrei high five as the crowd boo's}

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

SEGMENT
"Questions and an offer..."

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

{ Backstage not moments after Alex Jones walked out on Mike Machado we find the ever arrogant Cruiser Weight Champion grabbing his things and preparing to leave. When he turns around he finds someone blocking his path, Angel. }

Angel: What the hell was that?

Alex Jones: What the hell was what?

Angel: Don’t play coy with me!

Alex Jones: BACK OFF!

{ Jones’ outburst surprises Angel as Alex gets right up in his face. }

Alex Jones: You and everyone else has doubted me since day one and I’m tired of it! So you know what, I’m done jumping through freaking hoops for you people!

{ Alex goes to brush past Angel but he stops him. }

Angel: I’m sorry you feel that way but what I’m not sorry about is your first title defense next week against… GJENREI! And as for your buddy Cable, he's taking on Mike Machado in a NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH!

{ Jones doesn’t say a word as the two long time rivals glare at each other. Before long Alex brushes past Angel and scoffs. As he rounds the last corner before exiting the arena we see Spike Kane and Honorbound standing before him. }

Terri Morasco: Uh oh Vasco...it seems as if The Empire has a target in their sights.

Vasco Diaz: And unfortunately Alex isn't smart enough to run....

{Alex grit his teeth and drops his bag laying the Cruiserweight title on top of it. He steps forward and seems to take an aggressive stance. Spike shakes his head and steps back}

Spike Kane: Whoa whoa....hey man calm down, I come in peace...

{Alex stops and looks at Cable, then slowly to Gjenrei}

Spike Kane: Hey they're just here to re-interate my point. Alex, I want to offer you a spot by my side, in the Empire

{Alex scoffs and shakes his head}

Spike Kane: Why is it so out of left field?. IWF has turned their backs on you. They didn't believe you. Your friends should of had faith, I've always been there to watch your back Alex.....Overdrive? ....New Blood?.....you know it's true.

{Spike walks around Alex who turns his head}

Spike Kane: I have faith in you. And I want you at my side......just think about it....

{Spike walks back to Cable and Gjenrei as they leave Alex alone in the hallway}

SINGLES MATCH
Kathy Conway vs Ana Valentine

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

{Ana steps out and places a perfectly manicured hand to her pink lips, she presses her fingertips into a kiss and them blows it out to the crowd, before flashing them a sly smirk. }

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada...ANA VALENTINE!

{She makes her way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope, in a crawl forward fashion and pulls up from her feet all the way up with a bend at the hips easily, before moving off to a corner to stretch out.}

Vasco Dias: I'm looking forward to this match, it should be quite the technical contest...

Terri Morasco: Ana has been very impressive lately, managing to hold her own against the current reigning Diamonds World Champion and a former Ruby Champion in recent weeks, tonight she faces another tough test in a seasoned veteran who has been trained by her husband, NCW Hall of Famer - The Ace...

{The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip and her husband, The Ace by her side. She begins her walk down the ramp, alongside her husband, Kathy has a smile on her face.}

Alison Valance: And her opponent, making her way to the ring from Wichita, Kansas...she is the Queen of Diamonds....KATHLEEEEN CONWAAAAY!

{At the foot of the ramp the couple share a kiss before Kathy 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 winks at The Ace before standing up and climbing through the middle rope into the ring. She walks to the middle and flips her hair again with a hand on her hip as the lights return to normal and the music fades.}

Terri Morasco: Kathy seems a lot happier tonight than we have seen her in recent months...

Vasco Dias: So she should be, she's not only been able to conquer Eternity and rescue her sister from months of mental torture, but she's also earned herself a Ruby shot in the process...

{The bell is rang as Ana Valentine charges out of the corner and tackles an unsuspecting Kathy to the ground as the crowd's cheers quickly turn to boos and Ana sits on top of Kathy using both hands one after the other to deliver slaps across the face to Kathy. Kathy takes a few moments to readjust and find her bearings before she manages to block the slaps and roll Ana over before delivering piston-like right hands to the side of Ana's head, the crowd cheer the quick change of momentum and even begin to count each blow Kathy delivers, firmly behind her in this match...}

Crowd: One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...

{Kathy pauses and looks over at her husband, shooting him a wink before delivering the tenth blow...}

Crowd: Ten!

{The crowd explode into more cheers as Kathy seamlessly transitions into a grounded sleeper hold.}

Vasco Dias: Listen to the crowd in this sold out arena tonight, they're clearly behind Kathy here tonight.

Terri Morasco: How could they not be after everything she's been through, we were all witnesses to the Hell Eternity put her through.

{Kathy wraps her long legs around Ana's waist to complete a body scissor sleeper hold combination and rolls onto her back whilst maintaining the submission hold, careful to keep her shoulders inches off the mat, but this soon changes however when Ana has enough ring presence and agility to shift her body weight just enough to force Kathy's shoulders to the mat...the referee drops to her knees and begins to count...1...2... Kathy throws her left shoulder up and is forced to break the hold in the process. Ana rolls away from the clutches of the experienced veteran, before getting to her feet. Ana gets a nice run up to the ring ropes across from her opponent, Ana looks over her shoulder assessing Kathy's position.}

Vasco Dias: Great ring presence by the young Ana there to use her opponent's early momentum against her...

Terri Morasco: Indeed it was, it forced Kathy to sacrifice her advantage or risk losing the match...

{Ana waits for Kathy who is getting to her feet before Ana bounces up on to and the off the middle rope and meets Kathy half way across the ring with a beautiful springboard clothesline, which knocks Kathy off her feet. The highly agile Ana then bounces to her feet and blows a kiss to the crowd before offering The Ace a cutesy wave. The Ace doesn't seem very impressed, but Ana's momentary showboating seems to backfire as Kathy regains her bearings enough to roll Ana up into a schoolgirl...the Diamonds referee once again drops to her knees to count the pin attempt and this time the crowd join in counting the fall...}

Crowd: One...two...oooooh....

Terri Morasco: Ana almost paid for all her showboating there...

Vasco Dias: That was the second near fall of what has been a highly competitive match so far...

{Ana manages to kick out and looks rather annoyed that she almost got caught off guard as she finds her feet and shakes her head at Kathy, who responds with a simple smile and shrug of her shoulders. Ana steps up and gets into Kathy's face, wagging her finger condescendingly at the veteran and now Kathy's smile fades as she slaps Ana across the face. Ana looks a little shell-shocked but has no time to dwell on it as Kathy whips her across the ring. Ana rebounds and leaps into the air to strike Kathy with a clothesline, but this time Kathy has it well scouted as she catches Ana in mid air. She then takes a few steps forward whilst carrying Ana in her arms and throwing her overhead and backwards in a textbook Fall Away Slam, much to the delight of the crowd. The force of the impact as Ana hits the canvas causes Ana to roll under the bottom rope and out of the ring out onto the floor in front of the announce tables. The referee begins her ten count...1....2...3...}

Vasco Dias: Ana could be counted out here...

{Kathy looks out to the crowd and nods with a smile on her face as she puts her hands on her hips and appears to wait for Ana to find her bearings. ...4...5...6...7...}

Terri Morasco: It looks like Kathy doesn't want the match to end this way...

{Kathy has had enough of waiting and decides she doesn't want to win the match this way as she slides out of the ring after Ana, and she drags Valentine to her feet and back towards the apron before rolling her under the bottom rope back into the ring. Kathy wastes little time following her opponent back into the ring. She then brings a still groggy Ana to her feet and scoops her off her feet, hitting a scoop slam in the middle of the ring. A fired up Kathy then tries to seize her advantage by running across the ring, rebounding off the ropes and looking to strike a slowly rising seated Ana in the face with her Puss In Boots kick but Ana appears to have it scouted as Ana arches her back onto the canvas, balanced on all four limbs with her chest in the air to avoid the move. }

Vasco Dias: My God, did you see that?

Terri Morasco: Such amazing flexibility and agility on display here, Ana is truly one of the most athletic Diamonds we have on the roster.

{The flexible dancer then throws one arm out and maintains her balance as she trips the veteran up as her kick fails to connect. Kathy lands face first into the canvas, and Ana seizes her advantage and control of the match by spinning over onto her stomach and springing to her feet, grabbing one of Kathy's ankles as she does so, and twisting it into a perfectly pristine Ankle Lock. Kathy starts to scream in pain and the female referee hunches over to ask her if she wants to give it up. Kathy emphatically shakes her head as The Ace looks on, the concern growing on his face.}

Terri Morasco: It could all be simply a matter of time here...

Vasco Dias: One has to wonder how wise it is for Kathy to continue holding on here, she's risking an injury she cannot afford if she's going to have any chance of challenging Ashley Mastrangelo for her Ruby Championship in six days...

{Kathy raises her right hand and holds it in the air as the crowd anticipate the tap out. The Ace turns to the crowd and yells for them to get behind Kathy and they respond by starting to chant her name.}

Crowd: KA-THY! KA-THY! KA-THY! KA-THY! KA-THY! KA-THY!

{Inspired to push through in spite of the pain, Kathy lowers her hand and begins to crawl on her elbows, slowly towards the ropes. She locks eyes with her husband and decides to make him her sole focal point as he encourages her. }

The Ace: Come on baby! Come on!

{Kathy reaches out as much for him as the ropes, she is inches away as she screams and in one tremendous burst of adrenalin and energy she manages to pull Ana along just enough to finally reach the bottom rope. She grabs it firmly and the relief on The Ace's face reveals itself and the referee begins her five count... 1...2...3...4... Ana releases the hold and shakes her head in frustration.}

Vasco Dias: Ana wasn't prepared to risk a disqualification there...

Terri Morasco: You have to admire her integrity, but the damage may have already been done to her opponent.

{Kathy lays by the ropes, cradling her ankle as Ana focuses more on getting a reaction from the crowd by blowing kisses at them, and then miming an archer and yelling to the crowd that it was over. They respond with boos as Ana goes to drag Kathy away from the ropes by the leg she was cradling. When both women are clear of the ropes, Ana bends over to pick Kathy off the mat, but this time Kathy has it scouted as she pulls an unsuspecting Ana down into her Quick As A Kat small package variation, pinning Ana...1...2...Ana manages to reverse the momentum into a pinning combination of her own...1...2...and Kathy is forced to expend more energy to kick out. }

Terri Morasco: What a series of quick near falls here...

Vasco Dias: Neither woman is willing to give in here...

{Kathy separates herself from Ana and slowly gets to her feet, shaking her head, knowing that for the second time in this match she was almost caught out by the determined newcomer. Kathy then looks at Ana who is also slowly getting to her feet and nods, almost as if she was impressed by Ana's efforts. Ana sees that Kathy is still trying to shake off the effects of the Ankle Lock and smirks as she charges and looks to kick Kathy in the leg but Kathy anticipates it and blocks, grabbing Ana's foot and shaking her head. Ana hops on one leg before mustering just enough to kick Kathy in the back of the head with an enziguri. Kathy collapses to the canvas again.} 

Vasco Dias: What an enziguri!

Terri Morasco: Momentum has definitely been on a pendulum swing during this whole match.

{Ana quickly drags Kathy into position on the mat, flipping her onto her stomach before running across the ring and springboarding off the ropes and hitting a Moonsault on Kathy. Ana hooks the leg to try for another pin...1...2...but the resilient Conway refuses to be kept down as she kicks out. Ana is starting to get a little flustered as she drags Kathy to her feet by a handful of her blonde hair, for which the referee warns her. Ana immediately releases and it genuinely appears that she had not intended to instigate a hair pull. Ana kicks Kathy in the gut and grabs her arm and whips her across the ring, and as Kathy rebounds, Ana lifts her up into her Cupid's Bow Spinebuster, and as Kathy's back hits the canvas, Ana hooks her legs in a jacknife pinning combination, once again showcasing her agility as the referee counts the fall. 1...2....3...}

Vasco Dias: Ana has done it! She scored a huge upset win here tonight!

Terri Morasco: Ana Valentine has just managed to knock off a bonafide veteran of the Diamond's locker-room. She most certainly has a bright future ahead of her...  

{ And is up in the center of the ring as the ref raises her arm for her and declares her the victor. Kathy watches from the mat as Ana turns around and blows her a kiss. As she does we're suddenly joined by Katherine Lockehart who walks onto the stage clapping for Ana who looks up the ramp at the head of Diamond's Division. }


Katherine Lockheart: Congratulations Miss Valentine! What a fantastic performance and one we can all agree has caught the attention of the right people

{ Ana cocks a head curiously as Katherine smiles. }

Katherine Lockheart: I am please to announce that at October Revolution next week you will go one on one with the IWF Diamond's Champion Jessica Reed in a match for her title!

{ The crowd pops as Katherine lowers the mic and smiles as Ana nods her head and grins, clearly quite delighted with the news before we cut to a commerical break. }

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

SEGMENT
"You feel clever, kid?"

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

{We open backstage in the locker room, Nero Blake has his locker open, taking his work out clothes out of them and into his bags He closes the locker door just as he hears...}

''You think you're clever kid?''

{Before he can turn around a hand has grabbed the back of his head, bashing it into the locker violently. The camera fades back to see Davey Ortega with the firm grip, deciding to bash Nero's head into the locker again before releasing the hold, allowing him to fall to the floor. Davey kneels beside him, placing a hand on his throat as Nero begins to realize what has happened.}

Davey Ortega: Do you feel that sensation of dizziness and unawareness? I hope you do, it's a feeling I want you to get akin to. You will feel it at Revolution, you will know it as the tingling before pure blackness. Because I am going to knock you out, kid. If you don't believe me just ask big brother.

{Davey smile, patting Nero on the cheek twice before getting up and leaving the room.}

SINGLES MATCH
If Joe loses, Killian Creed will not get a title shot for the rest of 2013
Steve Awesome vs Joe Everyman

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

All the lights in the arena go dark and the sold out crowd begin chanting his name.

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

The IWF-TRON lights up and we cut to the back of the building in the parking garage. The crowd continues to chant his name.

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

Suddenly the camera is filled with bright head lights and a huge stretch limo pulls up. The driver exits the front and walks to the back and opens the door. And Steve Awesome steps out of the vehicle dressed in his ring gear, a trench vest with his name emblazoned on the back, a smile and those trademark aviator sunglasses. He smiles for bunch of paparazzi and journalists as the sold out crowd continue to chant his name.

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

Steve pushes through the sea of flashing bulbs and starts walking through the hall way toward the entrance ramp as the journalists and photographers run to keep up behind him. The follow him at every turn and the crowd continues to chant his name.

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

“AWE-SOME!”

And suddenly the image fades away and we’re left with darkness in the arena. The entire crowd left to wonder what’s next and then-

“REGRETS I’VE GOT MINNNNNE!”

The entire front stage EXPLODES with pyros shooting off everywhere. A full fourth of july finale goes off in the arena before “Full of Regret” by Danko Jones starts blaring over the P.A System as Steve Awesome finale steps out onto the stage as the crowd goes crazy for him. He runs out and starts slapping high fives and yelling that he’s back. He climbs up onto the apron and poses there before stepping into the middle of the ring, dropping down to one knee and flexing as green pyro sparks rain down from the ceiling. }

Vasco Dias: And here he is, Mr “Everything is about me” himself.

Terri Morasco:T It’s been a while, I am really interested to see how Awesome copes here tonight.

{Live To Rise by Soundgarden starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage, ecstatic as ever. Joe walks down the ramp while holding their arms up towards the crowd, who cheer for Joe with deafening sound. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a standing jump onto the apron. Joe then climbs into the ring through the ropes and looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then stands and waits.}

Vasco Dias: Well, looks like we’re ready to go here!

Terri Morasco: Looks like The Awesome One hasn’t lost a beat.

{Both men stand across from each other as the bell rings, the crowd are heated for this match ready to get into it as the returning Steve Awesome finally goes head to head with Joe Everyman. Joe looks pissed, and Steve has his trademark shit eating grin on his face. He cocks an eyebrow and mouths for Joe to “bring it” which causes Everyman to almost roar with rage as he charges Awesome. The two lock up and Joe forces the advantage, shoving Steve right into the turnbuckle and then slamming a forearm into the face of the face of the franchise. (yes that was written correctly) Awesome raises his hands to his face and pushes Joe back with an indignant look on his face.}

Vasco Dias: Not the beautiful face!

Terri Morasco: Not the beautiful fa-....wait, what?

{Joe steps back into the middle of the ring, and outstretches his arms, sending Steve’s “bring it” right back at him. Steve wipes his mouth as he comes out of the corner nodding his head. He steps forwards for a lock up, suckering Joe in as he ducks underneath him and then nails a picture perfect dropkick to the back of the head of Joe, sending Everyman sprawling to the mat and through the ropes to the outside.}

Terri Morasco: Oh, Steve Awesome is still in this fight.

Vasco Dias: He’s bringing it.

{Steve circles the ring, pumping up the crowd as he starts to pick up speed, it seems like The Awesome One hasn’t lost a step at all as he sprints across the ring and dives over the top ropes with a huge dive, but Joe side steps and grabs Steve mid-air and slams him into the security barrier! The crowd goes absolutely crazy as the returning Steve Awesome crashes and burns heavily into the barrier and slumps into a heap on the floor. The ref has begun counting both Steve and Joe out, but Joe simply dismisses him as he grabs Steve by his short spikey hair and whips him hard into the steel steps. The steps crash loudly, as Steve slumps over them.}

Vasco Dias: Damn, Joe Everyman found himself a backbone!

Terri Morasco: It seems Joe really is sick and tired of being everybodies whipping boy.

{Joe rolls into the ring laying on his back before rolling back out to break the count, however as he turns to face Awesome, Steve has clambered back to his feet and charges at Joe with a mad rage, tackling Everyman to the ground. Steve unleashes a flurry of punches as he tries to vent his frustration on the former Imperial Champion. After a few blocked shots, Joe drops his guard and Steve gets a few licks in, before he climbs off of Joe, his hair a tangled mess and his face all red from the anger.}

Terri Morasco: Looks like Awesome is going to lose his cool.

Vasco Dias: The captain of cool can’t do that, can he?

{Steve gives a kick or two to Joe before grabbing him and dragging him to his feet and rolling him into the ring. Steve climbs up onto the apron before taping a deep breath and launching himself over the ropes into a slingshot leg drop onto Joe Everyman. Steve follows up with a pinfall attempt, ONE! …..TWO! -Joe kicks out.}

Terri Morasco: Early pinfall attempt, a little optimistic.

{Steve doesn’t seem too surprised as he grabs Joe again and drags him back to his feet. This time he whips Everyman off the ropes, but Joe comes sprinting back and ducks under the wild lariat from Awesome, Joe then sprints to the ropes once more and comes back again rolling over Awesome’s back as he ducks down for a monkey toss. Joe then spins around and takes Steve down with an armdrag sending The Awesome One across the ring. Steve rolls to his feet and runs back to Joe who takes Steve down with another arm drag sending him to the opposite side of the ring now. Angered, Awesome rolls to his feet again and this time as Joe goes for the arm drag, Steve holds onto him, and pulls him through with a reversal arm drag of his own sending Everyman towards the corner.}

Vasco Dias: Some nice wrestling exchanges there.

Terri Morasco: Mixing this up, despite the tension.

{Steve rises to his feet as Joe gets to a knee, Awesome charges as Joe comes up with a rising clothesline, but Awesome ducks underneath and runs up the turnbuckle, jumping backwards for a huge moonsault, but Joe jumps into the air grabbing Steve and lifting his knees forcing them both to hit the mat hard, Steve landing on Joe’s raised knees. The two of them lay on the mat on the edge of pain and exhaustion as the referee begins his ten count. ONE……...TWO……...THREE……...FOUR….-Joe rolls to his knees and starts to catch his breath.}

Vasco Dias: Can this be the end of the match here?

{FIVE……..SIX……..SEVEN..-Now Steve is reaching for the ropes. EIGHT…...NINE….-And both of them manage to get to their feet just within the ten second time limit. The two of them lock eyes and nod at each other, a silent acceptance of each others abilities and an exchange of mutual respect. The crowd roar for the two men, Steve turns to absorb the admiration - clearly missing it, but when he turns around….BANG!!! Joe Everyman hits Steve Awesome with his friends finishing move, Curtis Kanyon’s Gore, Joe roars with adrenaline as he drags Steve to his feet and hooks him up for the Twist of Fate.}

Vasco Dias: Joe has it won!

Terri Morasco: Wait….what the?

{ “King of the World” blasts out of the PA system as Roberto Verona marches out from behind the curtain and makes a beeline straight for Joe Everyman who stares at him intently, preventing him from dropping Awesome with his Twist of Fate. The crowd boo as Verona reaches ringside and looks right at Joe who has since relinquished Awesome and is incensed at the constant thorn in his side’s presence at ringside. }

Terri Morasco: Oh no, this was a great match and now Joe is going to get served yet again.

Vasco Dias: Joe should have thought of that before he down a Budweiser then shouldn’t he?

{ Joe keeps a watchful gaze on Verona who slowly walks up the ring steps and along the apron, all the while keep his eyes firmly fixed on Roberto who begins to stalk the apron, keeping Everyamn’s attention away from Awesome who has gradually gotten to his feet. This, however, appears to be Everyman’s mistake as the Awesome One who sneaks up behind Joe and grabs him before hitting a devastating Steve-KO! Awesome goes for the cover, 1….2….3! He steals this one from Joe Everyman in yet another screw job as the crowd let their feelings be known. }

Terri Morasco: Oh this is just disgusting, why does every single match have to be ruined to accommodate this man’s crusade against one mistake?

Vasco Dias: IWF suffered thanks to Joe Everyman, now he is being made to suffer AND still get paid? Forgive me for not feeling sorry for the guy.

{ The bell rings as the referee raises Steve’s hand whilst Verona drops to the mat below and slowly walks over to the announce table where he retrieves a steel chair which he slams shut before walking over to the ring and sliding in. Steve turns and looks at him but before he can react suddenly Verona thrusts the chair into Steve’s chest before shout at him to take it. }

Terri Morasco: Oh come on now, this is just overkill!

Vasco Dias: I disagree, this just got interesting.

{ Steve looks at Roberto incredulously as he starts pointing towards a gradually recovering Joe Everyman. Steve seems to be paralysed as he mulls over in his head what to do, all the while Verona continues to bark orders at him but Steve doesn’t move an inch. Finally Joe staggers to his feet as Steve begins to shake his head, much to the crowds delight who erupt with cheers but their joy is shortlived as Verona rips the chair from Steve and crashes it down viciously over Joe’s skull which plants him straight to the mat. Steve can only watch with horror as Verona turn and begins to rain down shot after shot onto Joe’s body, each blow louder and more violent than the last. }

Vasco Dias: Remind me never to piss off the boss.

Terri Morasco: This is disgusting, I can only apologise to our viewers at home…

{ Verona continues to plant shot after shot into Joe before finally he stops and immediately asks for a microphone. Unfolding what is left of the chair he sets it up inches away from Joe’s head before sitting himself down and leaning over to look into Joe’s eyes. }

Roberto Verona: You’re coming for me, Joe? You want to end this little game we’ve been playing? Who the hell do you think you are making demand of me!? You think you’re a big man flinging insults from your sofa? This Sunday I am going to shut that big mouth of yours and end this once and for all. So, come one, come all to October Revolution and watch me make a very public example of you Joe.

{ Verona stands up and kicks the chair away before turning to Steve. }

Roberto Verona: As for you, don’t think I will forget this.

{ Verona throws the mic across the ring before staring down at Joe one last time and exiting the ring as medics rush down to check on the condition of Joe Everyman and we cut to a commercial break. }

SEGMENT
"A Problem?"

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

{ The adverts finally come to a close as we re-join Willy Cater backstage who is frantically seen chasing down the Diamond’s champion Jessica Reed who walks along happily with a gleeful bounce in her step along the corridor. }

Willy Carter: Yo! Miss Reed, can I catch you for a moment?

{ Jessica turns around with a big smile on her face, her belt over her shoulder as Willy gradually catches up with her. }

Jessica Reed: What can I do for you Willy?

Willy Carter: I wanted to get a few words from you about your match with Ana Valentine at October Revolution.

Jessica Reed: What did you wanna know?

Willy Carter: What do you think about Katherine Lockheart’s choice?

Jessica Reed: I think it is a fantastic choice, Ana has really been tearing it up and believe me beating Kathleen Conway is no easy feat whatsoever.

Willy Carter: So you’re not angry she didn’t consult you?

{ Jessica looks at Willy a little confused. }

Jessica Reed: Why would I be mad? I live for wrestling, it’s my passion, I just wanna do my thing and if it means putting my belt on the line I will always do it. You can’t just waltz around here getting everything handed to you.

Willy Carter: Well, I…. do you have any words for Ana?

Jessica Reed: Sure. Congratulations, Ana. We really tore it up a few weeks ago and I am sure you’ll bring it hard next week too, I expect a big challenge. I can’t think of anybody more deserving than you. Is that everything, Willy? I really have to get ready for my match with Amber, she’s not going to play nice after all!

Willy Carter: Erm, yes I think so…

{ Jessica jumps a little on the spot and smiles from ear to ear before turning and walking away as we go back to ringside ready for our next match with Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias. }

MAN OF STEEL MATCH
Davey Ortega vs Mike Laszlo

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

Vasco Dias: My favorite kind of match coming up next.

Terri Morasco: Two men with respect for one another and a possible common enemy in the Empire doing battle here tonight in a Man of Steel Match.

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Man of Steel match. You can only win this match by submission or via knockout. Introducing first…

“Ladies and Genetleman'' hits the speakers as the fans have a mixed reaction. Davey Ortega comes from the back and stands on the entrance way looking to the ring, then eyeing both sides of the crowd.

Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing in at 170 pounds…DAVEY ORTEGGGGA!

He walks down the ring with confidence, making his way up the stairs to the apron, he walks to the middle of the apron and turns to acknowledge the fans, raising his hand for a photo opportunity before he gets into the ring and waits.

Terri Morasco: A man who we heard was not happy about the Empire being reformed last week.

Vasco Dias: Who cares? He doesn’t like it, do something about it.

Terri Morasco: Point noted.

Alison Valance: And his opponent…

"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis close behind.

Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!

Terri Morasco: This man had a huge victory last week in the Man of Steel match against one half of InFamous, Rob Diamond.

Vasco Dias: I give the kid some credit. Two weeks ago he put on a clinic against the Imperial Champion only to catch a bad break. Then last week he made Diamond tap out to that modified Octopus Stretch.

Terri Morasco: Yes he did, a move he calls Entanglement.

Mike rolls into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another favored reaction, as Alexis climbs up on the ring apron and through the middle and bottom ropes. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists, twirling them from side to side, waiting for the start of the match.

Vasco Dias: I can’t wait for this match. Submissions and technical wrestling. None of that barbaric weapon swinging or stupid flippy stuff.

Terri Morasco: Technically sound is what these two wrestlers exhibit. It will be on full display here tonight.

The bell rings and the two men size one another up as they circle around the ring. Eventually they tie up in the center of the ring where Laszlo starts using his weight advantage but Davey is first to get a strike in with a knee to the midsection, stopping Laszlo’s forward progress before locking him in a Side Headlock. Ortega runs his forearms up and down the face of Laszlo causing him to grimace as the cluster backs into the ropes where Laszlo shoots Davey to the other side. Laszlo swings wildly with a Clothesline that Ortega ducks. Davey then heads to the other ropes and leaps up onto them before lunging toward Laszlo with his 21! Springboard Kick. (Disaster Kick) Laszlo though ducks as Davey lands on his feet before turning into a well-placed toe kick to the stomach that doubles over the resident genius of the IWF. Laszlo pulls Ortega in and hooks both arms looking for the “Welcome to the C-L-E” (Double Arm Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker) but Davey pulls his arms free and himself away from Laszlo under the bottom rope.

Terri Morasco: Stalemate so far, wouldn’t you say?

Vasco Dias: I would. Davey seems reluctant to get back in there at the moment.

Davey stares a hole through Laszlo as he walks around one of the ring posts and scales the steps. Davey steps through the ropes and the two lock up one more time, this time Laszlo ducking down and hoisting the lighter Ortega on his shoulder while charging toward the corner where he buries Ortega before planting a few Shoulder Thrusts into the gut of his opponent.

Terri Morasco: Now Laszlo seems to be gaining the upper hand.

Vasco Dias: Taking over right where he left off last week.

Laszlo backs up a few steps and allows a doubled over Davey to stumble out of the corner. Again Laszlo pulls Davey in and looks to Powerbomb him into the turnbuckles. Davey wriggles free and slips down Laszlo’s back, turning and hitting him with a Dropkick to the back that sends Mike chest-first into the turnbuckle. As Laszlo stumbles out of the corner, Davey grabs him by the neck and drops down executing a Hangman’s Neckbreaker. Davey rolls over and gets up backing into the corner with no need for a pin-fall in this type of match. He taunts Laszlo to get up as Mike struggles to his feet. Mike turns as Ortega charges, looking for his Setting Sun finishing move (Spear). Mike sees him charging and at the last second leaps over the charging Ortega who is slow to stop his momentum, but manages to do so only to turn into a Superkick to the face that lays him out.

Terri Morasco: What a shot to the face!

Vasco Dias: If pins were optional, this could be over…there is a ten count though.

Davey lies motionless on the mat as Laszlo catches his breath and the referee begins the first knockout count of the match.

1!

2!

3!

4!

The ref doesn’t get to continue the count as Laszlo brushes by him and grabs Ortega by the head, hitting a few forearm shots that back the smaller man into the corner. Laszlo lifts Ortega onto the turnbuckle and climbs to the middle rope, throwing Davey’s arm over for a Superplex, but with his free arm, Davey starts punching Laszlo in the gut, finally pulling his own leg over, Davey kicks Laszlo’s leg out from under him causing Mike to fall from the ropes and face-first into the turnbuckle pad. Laszlo stunned, Davey grabs him by the head and leaps off the turnbuckle with a Tornado DDT! Both men lay on the ground as the referee begins to count.

Vasco Dias: Anyone have some aspirin? That hurt my head.

Terri Morasco: Great move by Ortega.

The referee gets to FIVE before Ortega gets to his feet and continues to count Mike who doesn’t get to his feet until SEVEN. Ortega comes over and grabs hold of Laszlo, standing him up straight with a European Uppercut. He follows it up with two more stiff Uppercuts that rock Laszlo into the ropes. With aid of the ropes, Ortega shoots Laszlo to the other side of the ring but Laszlo reverses sending Ortega himself into the ropes. Laszlo ducks down a second early and Davey kicks him hard in the face like a field goal kicker on Sunday. Laszlo holds his chest as Davey goes back to the ropes and charges back but Laszlo kicks into high gear and hoists Davey into the air, twirls, and DRIVES HIM INTO THE MAT with a vicious Spinebuster. Again both men are down as the referee counts.

Terri Morasco: Back and forth affair between these two men here tonight.

Vasco Dias: This is why we were voted as hot new wrestling company of the week in one of those fancy magazine articles.

The referee gets to FOUR before Laszlo is up with the help of the ropes. Davey isn’t so lucky but eventually gets up in the corner at the count of EIGHT, and almost immediately, Laszlo comes into the picture hitting Davey with a Running High Knee in the corner that looks as if it knocks Davey out standing up. With his opponent stunned, Laszlo exits the ring and climbs up to the top rope behind Davey before grabbing his opponent by the head and lunging over him, taking him down with a Front Flip Cutter, transitioning flawlessly into a Crippler Crossface!

Vasco Dias: Down Payment by Laszlo!

Terri Morasco: Locked in a Crossface, Ortega has no place to go.

Ortega scrambles to try and find anyway at all to relieve the pressure as Laszlo now has the hold locked in good in the ring corner. Ortega struggles mightily and seems as if he may have passed out. The referee raises his hand and drops it once.

Vasco Dias: If it drops three times here, that could be considered a submission OR a knockout I guess.

Terri Morasco: Either way, Laszlo would win this match.

The referee checks the hands again and again it drops for the second time. He lifts it a third time and it comes three-quarters of the way down before Davey springs back to life and starts fighting again. Laszlo wrenches back and lets out a scream.

Mike Laszlo: TAAAAAP!

It seems though that he reaches too far back and Davey is able to roll the hold over, and out of the ring, breaking the hold as both men crash hard on the mat outside.

Terri Morasco: Great wherewithal by Davey Ortega to roll out of the ring.

Vasco Dias: That’s about the only way he was going to break that hold.

The two men crawl around on the floor as the referee admonishes his count, getting to six as both men manage to get in the ring at roughly the same time. Laszlo is first to his feet but Davey is close to follow before being hit with a right hand to the face. Ortega is rocked but responds with a shot of his own. Laszlo hits a second as does Davey. Eventually Davey starts to get the upper hand. He goes to shoot Laszlo into the ropes but Laszlo twists around and goes to pull Davey into a Short-armed Clothesline, only to have Davey turn it into a Swinging Neckbreaker. Davey gets down on the mat and picks Laszlo up from behind, locking in a Dragon Sleeper. Laszlo begins to squirm around, looking for a way to get out of the hold as Ortega now has it synched in. Ortega looks to have the match won when Laszlo starts kicking out, looking for any sign of something he can use to advantage and eventually finds the turnbuckle. Laszlo scales the turnbuckle and flips over Davey lifting him and dropping him with the No Mercy! (Vertical Suplex into a Stunner)

Terri Morasco: Holy cow! What a reversal!

Vasco Dias: Both of these men are just so technically sound. This is why the Man of Steel Match is by far my favorite type.

The referee counts again and gets up to eight before both men begin to stagger to their feet. Laszlo takes a wild swing toward Ortega who ducks and takes Mike down for the Saturday Night Ride in the center of the ring. Mike fights hard to preserve his chances in the match, even flipping the hold to relieve pressure only to have Davey roll back over and lock the hold in once more. Mike fights valiantly but has no choice but to tap out to the hold.

Terri Morasco: Ortega has done it. He defeated Mike Laszlo in the center of the ring.

Vasco Dias: Redemption perhaps?

Alison Valance: The winner of this contest…DAVEY ORTEGAAAA!

“Ladies and Gentlemen” plays as Ortega celebrates.

MATCH
Amber Richards vs Jessica Reed

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

{ The lights go out and a myriad of colours begin to flash as “Die Young” by Ke$ha blasts out of the PA system and the crowd erupt as Jessica Reed merges from behind the curtain, this week seemingly dressed in a bat girl cosplay costume as she waves to the audience. With a big smile on her face she begins walking down the ramp, bouncing energetically as she slaps the hands of the fans who are eager to interact with one of their favourites. Jess reaches the steps and rushes up them quickly before getting up to the top rope and waving to the fans again before she hops down and starts to prepare for the match. }

Vasco Dias: Here comes Jessica as she looks to keep up her impressive momentum tonight.

Terri Morasco: She has a very stern test though in Amber Richards, I will be interested in seeing which lady comes out on top.

{ "Respect" by Devour the day slowly fades in, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring and she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out. }

Terri Morasco: Amber has been in indifferent form of late, which is such a shame, she’s a very good competitor.

Vasco Dias: She wasn’t happy after she lost he belt but she has to come back hard from that and forget about it.

{ Amber and Jessica begin to circle the ring as the referee signals for the bell and this contest gets underway. Within moments the pair lock up and push back and forth as they fight for the upperhand but it is Jessica who draws first blood as she locks Amber into a headlock, wrenching away at her neck before complete a hip toss which leaves Amber down on the mat momentarily. Amber, however, is quick to get back to her feet but she is disappointed quickly as Jessica plants her with a clothesline. Jessica hoists her back up and immediately hits her with a perfect snap suplex before willing her foe back to her feet. Unluckily for Amber, Jessica grabs her by the head and drops her with a swinging neck breaker as Jessica takes control of the match. }

Vasco Dias: Jessica is demonstrating how lethal and effective she can be by getting on top of this match early on.

Terri Morasco: Amber seems to be doubting herself a little and she’s paying for it, she’s got to get back in the game quickly.

{ Jessica makes sure that Amber is down before hitting a jumping elbow drop to her chest for extra measure. Perhaps getting a little ahead of her Jessica tries to lock in a sharpshooter but before she can turn Amber over the former champ manages to wriggle a leg free and get a boot across Jessica’s face which buys Richards a little time but as she gets to her feet she is put right back to the mat by Reed who connects a dropkick into the jaw of the plucky Amber. Wasting little time Jess picks herself up and begins to climb to the top turnbuckle as she looks for a little aerial offence. }

Terri Morasco: Amber almost found a way back into this but Jessica managed to regain her authority.

Vasco Dias: Perhaps but Reed is taking a big risk now climbing to the top rope, will it pay off?

{ Jessica steadies herself and takes one last look at Amber before leaping into the air as she attempts a flying leg drop….but Amber rolls out of the way just in time! Jessica clutches her tailbone and winces in pain as Amber slowly lifts herself up, quickly planting a boot into Jessica’s face to keep her grounded whilst she recovers. Amber huffs and puffs before running at Jessica and planting her back to the mat after a brief recovery with a running dropkick to the face. She goes for a quick cover, 1….2…NO! Jessica isn’t done yet as Amber takes control. }

Vasco Dias: Jessica went high risk, and she paid the price for that mistake.

Terri Morasco: She was trying to see the match through and you have to take risks, but Amber has ensured that, for now at least, she has a path back into this contest.

{ Amber is a little frustrated as the crowd starts to will Jessica back to her feet but they are quickly disappointed when Jessica is ripped off the mat and planted right back to it with a backbreaker from Richards, who then drops a leg drop across her throat for good measure. Wasting very little time Amber lifts up the plucky Jess before hitting an arm drag followed by a kip up and then she locks in an arm bar, but unfortunately Jessica has landed too close to the ropes and she is eventually forced to break the hold by the referee. }

Terri Morasco: Amber proving that talent is permanent with an excellent series of manoeuvres, unlucky for her Jessica was just too close to the ropes.

Vasco Dias: An on form Amber may have checked before she applied the hold but credit to her, she’s made us forget quite quickly about Jessica’s early dominance of the match.

{ Amber rolls backwards and as Jessica gets up she is soon hit with a running neckbreaker which puts her out of commission for the moment. Amber gets up and begins to stalk her prey but she is caught completely off guard when Jessica wraps her up into a small package, 1….2….NO! Jessica hasn’t quite done enough to end this match out of nowhere. Amber is angry and tries to stomp on Jessica but she rolls out of the way which forces Amber to stagger forward a little and in one swift movement Jessica gets up and plants her with a DDT which leaves both ladies laid out on their backs as the effects of Amber’s earlier offence still wearing down Reed. }

Vasco Dias: Neither lady seems capable of getting a lasting foothold in this match but it is great entertainment for us.

Preston Marhsll: Jessica expelled all the energy she had left to prevent Amber putting this match beyond doubt and now, it is anybody’s match!

{ Slowly but surely both ladies get to their feet as they both stagger around a little worse for wear, suddenly Amber throws a right fist but Jessica manages to duck underneath it and as Amber takes a moment to turn around Jessica steadies herself and lifts Amber onto her shoulders for a ROFLCopter as she spins before pausing a moment and hitting the mat with a great deal of force as Amber is out cold. Jessica drops for the cover…1…2….3!!! Jessica wins! }

Terri Morasco: Jessica does it! That almost took Amber’s head off, but make no mistake Amber put up a great fight.

Vasco Dias: Impressive result for Jessica, beating a woman of Amber’s calibre is no easy feat!

{ Jessica leaps up and begins to celebrate when suddenly Katherine Locheart rather sheepishly appears from behind the curtain, looking down at the floor with a printer sheet of paper clutched in her hand and her hair showing visible signs of stress. Jessica stops jumping up and down and turns to look at Katherine with a confused look on her face. Lockheart lifts an arm up to stop Jess' music before raising a microphone to her lips. }

Katherine Lockheart: May... may I have your attention... please...

{ The crowd begin to boo as Katherine closes her eyes before taking a deep breath. }

Katherine Lockheart: I would like to apologise to Miss Reed for interrupting her celebrations but I have some urgent business to attend to. I regret to say that it involves yourself Miss Reed.

{ Jess points to herself as she mouths "Me?" to which Katherine reluctantly nods. }

Katherine Lockheart: Yes... you Miss Reed. I have received an executive order from the Imperial Wrestling Federation Board of Directors which...

{ Katherine pauses before lifting the paper up. }

Katherine Lockheart: Which states that "We hereby signed... do so immediately order that the match between Jess-... Jessica Reed and Ana..."

{ Katherine sighs before continuing, clearly conflicted. }

Katherine Lockheart: "Ana....Ana Valentine is terminated, effective immediately."

{ The crowd begins to boo as Jessica is visibly shocked in the ring, immediately shouting "Why?". Katherine is visibly shaken, tearing herself inside as she continues. }

Katherine Lockheart: "The Board of Directors real-... realises that this may be a cause of disappointment, however, after much consideration they were... unable to allow this match to continue. Miss Valentine... nor indeed any of the current Diamond's roster have... have proven themselves..." I can't say this...

{ Katherine lowers her arm whilst doing everything she can to avoid eye contact with the camera or anybody else in the arena. Suddenly as she begins to turn away IWF CEO Simon de Montfort emerges from behind the curtain and forces her to freeze as the crowd pour down scorn on the whole affair. }

Terri Morasco: What the hell is going on here?

Vasco Dias: I don't know but Katherine doesn't look at all happy about what she's been made to do.

{ Simon walks up to her and snatches the microphone from her hand whilst staring her down. This awkward gaze is held for a few moments before Simon steps forward and raises the microphone to his lips. }

Simon de Montfort: Ladies and Gentleman, may I apologise for the conduct of Miss Lockheart, she is under a great deal of stress at this moment in time. Please, allow me to finished reading our statement to you.

{ The crowd boo and begin to raises their voices, forcing Simon to talk over them. }

Simon de Montfort: "Miss Valentine, nor indeed any of the current Diamond's roster have proven themselves deserving of an opportunity to wrestle Miss Reed for the coveted IWF Diamond's Championship. Miss Reed stands as a beacon amidst a sea of mediocrity and the IWF Board of Director's could not allow one of their greatest assets to be forced to compete in a match with any woman who does not deserve the honour of calling herself an IWF Diamond's Champion."

Terri Morasco: Oh come on this is ridiculous!

Vasco Dias: Is it? Who else is on Jessica's level?

Terri Morasco: Ana, Kathy, Amber, Ashley, Eternity... heck, all of our women are fantastic, ask Jess herself!

{ Simon raises a defiant finger. }

Simon de Montfort: "This weekend at October Revolution, Miss Reed will instead be wrestling a mystery opponent in a NON title match so as to not deprive you from her appearance. Miss Valentine will also compete, in a triple threat match with Miss Richards and Miss St. James where they will be given the opportunity to impress the Board of Directors and Miss Lockheart to potentially be considered for a title opportunity in the future. We thank you for your time."

{ Trash begins to rain towards the ramp as Simon turns and grabs Katherine by the arm, marching her back towards the curtain. }

Terri Morasco: I am not sure what I just witness... the Board of Directors just over ruled the Head of the Diamond's division!

Vasco Dias: Don't say that IWF is predictable folks!

Terri Morasco: We... we'll be right back folks...

{ The camera cuts to the ring where Jessica immediately rolls under the bottom rope and begins to sprint up the ramp towards the backstage area as we cut to a commercial break, ready for our main event. }

[Dark Lord Simon de Montfort]

IWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
InFamous(c) vs Cross-Blade

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

Vasco Dias: Next up we’ve got our main event, the undefeated IWF Tag Team Champions of the World, InFamous will be defending their titles against the newest tag team in the division, Ryan Blade and Xavier Cross, the Man of Steel and Heavy Weight Champions respectively, CROSS-BLADE!

Terri Morasco: This may very well be the biggest challenge to face Infamous yet.

Vasco Dias: Completely agree Terri, we’ve got two singles champions coming together here to possible add the tag team gold to their collection. Blade has been damn near unstoppable and Xavier Cross is one of the top talents in IWF today.

Terri Morasco: The only question hanging over this match is if Spike’s new Empire will get involved.

Vasco Dias: One has to imagine that both Cross and Blade are worried about the same thing. Spike revealed himself last week to of been the big bad behind the Juggernauts the whole time and I’m sure Cross isn’t too happy about that.

Terri Morasco: I can’t imagine he would be, he trusted Spike and received a few beat downs at the hands of the Jugs.

{ The lights dim, as the echo of a bird of prey screeching rips through the arena, a large explosion of orange/red/gold pyro erupts across the front of the stage. As it dies down we see the back of Xavier Cross, facing towards the curtain. This is when ‘The Phoenix’ by Fall Out Boy begins to play off the P.A. The fans are on their feet, chanting.}

“Xavier Cross! Xavier Cross! Xavier Cross!”

{Cross turns around, doing the Atlanta Falcon ‘Dirty Bird’ wing flap, as he makes his way to the ring. Ryan Blade steps out through the curtain behind him and follows him to the ring. Cross will stop and find the first child he sees, pulling a pen out of his boot, immediately signing something for the kid. Before moving over to the other side of the ramp giving fans a series of hi-fives. Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesn’t enter through the apron but climbs the outside of the turnbuckle, standing tall as he looks around the arena a grin on his face. He slaps his chest three times before hopping into the ring. He kisses his middle and index finger, pointing them to the sky, before looking down, crossing each wrist to make an X, he slowly raises his arms up. Each post shoots a pyro cannon perpendicular to each other, creating a flaming X for a moment. Blade shakes his head as he walks up the steps and enters the ring. Xavier moves to the corner, pulling himself on top of the turnbuckle, adjusting the tape on his wrists, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin.}

Terri Morasco: Well Cross-Blade are making their way to the ring together which is a good sign.

Vasco Dias: Yes, they atleast appear to be on the same page.

{ Villain by Theory of a Deadman hits the PA as both Rob Diamond and Spike Kane step through the curtain. The crowd boos InFamous as the two just over see the arena before heading down the ramp. Spike walks up the steps as Rob rolls in under the ropes. Both men take to a corner of the ring, Rob reaches high up into the air and tells the world to SUCK IT! Spike just glares at the fans. They jump down and wait for the match to start. }

Vasco Dias: Man, the crowd is just not happy to see Infamous tonight.

Terri Morasco: I can’t imagine why.

Vasco Dias: Heh, yeah well they don’t seem to care too much.

{ It looks like Spike and Cross are starting us off as the bell sounds. The two of them dance around each other before they move in to lock up but Spike quickly drives a knee into Cross and clubs him over the back. Spike grabs Cross and sends him flying into the ropes but Cross spring boards off with a back elbow to the jaw. Cross is right up and connects with a standing drop kick that sends Spike staggering back ward. Cross is up and runs at Spike with a clothes line but Spike back drops Cross over the top rope. Xavier lands on the apron and drives an elbow into the jaw bone of Spike and then uses the middle rope to launch his shoulder into the gut of Kane. Spike backs off and Cross uses the ropes to catapult himself back into the ring with a flying shoulder block. Cross is right up and hits the ropes, Spike stands and Cross shoulder blocks him back to the mat and pounds his chest as the crowd roars. }

Vasco Dias: Look at Cross go!

Terri Morasco: He’s on a mission tonight.

Vasco Dias: Absolutely, he’s taking it to our imperial champion.

{ Spike gets to his feet and Cross hits a stiff kick and grabs Spike around the waist for a gut wrench power sit down power bomb in the middle of the ring and the crowd absolutely loves it. Blade cheers his partner on as Cross stands up and quickly turns around to lock eyes with Rob who only glares at him. Cross turns his attention back to Spike and hooks him around the shoulders and rips him off the mat for a snap suplex. Cross quickly heads to the corner and climbs up and jumps off with a flying elbow drop! Cross covers and Rob breaks it up before two. Cross gets to his feet and pushes Rob back, the ref stops them both as Spike gets to his feet. Cross turns right into A BLOODY SUNDAY KICK! }

Vasco Dias: Big kick from Spike there, a momentum swinger for sure.

Terri Morasco: Especially if Spike can tag in Rob.

{ Spike pulls Cross up and whips him into the InFamous corner where Rob and Spike tag and the champions quickly double team him in the corner with several hard kicks to the gut. The ref argues with them as Spike pushes him away. Rob and Spike pull Cross up onto their shoulder for DOUBLE POWER BOMB! }

Terri Morasco: OH! Cross landed right on the back of his neck.

Vasco Dias: A very hard landing, Cross needs Blade in there and now.

{ Rob is quickly on Cross as he tries to make for his corner with a knee drop. Rob pulls him up off the mat and whips him into the rope. Cross comes back with a running boot and a clothes line. Cross tries to leap for the corner but Rob grabs him by the ankle. Rob pulls Cross back and Xavier flips over and punts Rob in the gut. Cross gets to his feet with a European upper cut! Cross turns and goes to leap for his corner again but Rob trips him up and pulls him into a leg sweep! Rob gets up and so does Cross. Cross goes for a clothes line and Rob gets under it and grabs him with a neck breaker. Rob is up pretty quick and rams into Cross with a shoulder and sends him into the ropes. Cross comes back and Rob nails his back fist. Rob goes for another kick but Cross hits an atomic drop! Rob drops to his knees and Cross clothes line him to the mat! }

Vasco Dias: Xavier is right in this but he still needs a tag.

Terri Morasco: He can’t last forever out there, he needs Blade in that ring.

{ Cross is up and he grabs Rob. Rob hits a hard knee and sends Cross into Spike’s boot in the corner! Spike then rams Xavier’s face into the turn buckles and Rob hits a big splash and crushes Cross against the turn buckles. Cross fires off a back elbow into Rob and turns but Spike grabs Cross around the neck and pulls him back into the corner so Rob can ram him in the gut with a hard shoulder! }

Terri Morasco: Why isn’t Blade breaking up these attacks?

Vasco Dias: No idea, he needs to help his partner out!

{ Rob turns Cross around in the corner and goes to whip him out but Cross reverses it into a short arm clothes line! Rob is down and Cross looks to Blade, Spike reaches over and Rob slaps his hand for the tag. Cross sprints across the ring with Spike on his heels and Cross reaches out for Blade AS BLADE HOPS OFF THE APRON!!! }

Vasco Dias: WHAT THE HELL!?

{ The ref looks down at Blade as he smirks at a bewildered Cross, Spike drops down behind him and LOW BLOW! Spike spins Xavier around and THUNDERSTRUCK! Blade slowly walks up the ramp to a chorus of boos as the ref counts the pin fall. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }

Vasco Dias: I don’t believe this, Ryan Blade just abandoned Xavier Cross and cost them the tag titles!

Terri Morasco: Why did he do that?

Vasco Dias: I wish I knew.

{ As Blade heads up the ramp he passes by both members of Honorbound as they fly down to the ring. }

Vasco Dias: Oh god no…

{ Honorbound slide in as Spike starts putting the boots to Cross. Cable and Gjenrei do the same as Rob steps into the ring. }

Vasco Dias: This is just like last week with Everyman, someone has to stop them!

Terri Morasco: Their going to kill him!

{ Spike has Cable and Gjenrei hold Cross up as he points to Rob to grab his tag belt, Spike lifts the Imperial and he wants to level Cross with two belts. }

Vasco Dias: These guys are sick.

Terri Morasco: God Rob, don’t do it.

{ Spike screams at Rob to level him but Rob just drops the belt and says “no.” }

Vasco Dias: Thank god, Rob’s not going to do it.

{ Without warning Spike just levels Cross before Rob can stop him. Rob grabs at Spike but Cable and Gjenrei quickly move to attack him. Rob tries to fight them off but Honorbound is quickly getting the better of him. }

Vasco Dias: DAMMIT! NO!

Terri Morasco: Their turning on their own.

{ Spike calls them off after Rob drops to his knee. Spike walks up to him and shakes his head and screams in his face “WHY!?” Before leveling him with the Imperial Championship. }

Vasco Dias: Sick… Just sick…

{ Spike demands a mic. }

Spike Kane: WHY ROB!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BETRAY ME!? We could have been Gods together, Gods of Professional Wrestling… But I guess there’s only room for one God…

Vasco Dias: Spike is losing it here.

Terri Morasco: He looks crazy.

{ Spike keeps tugging at his hair with his left hand as he holds the mic with his right. }

Spike Kane: You want to revolt against my empire? I don’t think so, you have forced my hand and your king will have to put you down… Next week Rob… You and me… FOR THIS!

{ He picks his Imperial Title up off the mat and holds up. }

Spike Kane: One night only and if you lose… You can never face me for it again… Heavy is the head that wears the crown!

{ Spike demands Cable and Gjenrei hold him up again as Spike rears back and drives his championship into his face for a second time, laying him out in the ring, blood trickling down his face. }

Vasco Dias: I can’t believe this… The empire is out of control… And it’s only getting worse.. Maybe just maybe… Rob can end this Sunday.

Terri Morasco: God I hope so…

Vasco Dias: We’ll see you at Revolution…

{ Spike absorbs the boos as the Rob and Cross are still laid out in the ring, the Empire standing tall over them. }
