SEGMENTNO WAY HOME PRESHOW
-------------------------------------
{The camera pans out through the sold out crowd as the theme for No Way Home is blaring. The fans are cheering and waving there signs all about. āI Thought This Show Was In Bostonā, āLocke Me Up Daddyā, āDark Triad OnlyFans When?ā āVirginia is going to kill someoneā ājust kiss alreadyā āUsually beating the clock is a bad thingā I miss Ulf being on the show every week ā āDanger Zoneā And loads more. The camera pans further and we see the pre-show panel.}
Summer Thompson: HELLO EVERYONE! Welcome to one of high light pay per views and one that Iām sure a lot of fans look forward to every year. Not only do we have a PACKED show tonight! We have the iron maiden! The match that shapes the Night of Immortals for the womenās world title. Welcome to the show guys, gals, and non-binary pals. How are you doing?
{Crowd behind her cheers.}Uriel Black: I think weāre all doing pretty well. Shall we get to it?
Summer Thompson: Right. Well, to start off the night on the preshow we have Tytus Rost taking on the Union of Jobbers. Does, um, anyone haveā
Rayne: Theyāre screwed.
Summer Thompson: Thatās a bit blunt. And mean.
Robert Henderson: Itās unfortunate but true. Statistically speaking, the Union of Jobbers have more than earned their names.
Rayne: The big man breaks, they get paid, we move on.
Uriel Black: Starting off my evening agreeing with Rayne. My God, this is shaping up to be a brutal night.
Summer Thompson: I mean, I suppose so...next up, we have Nick Danger versus Mr. Happy. Predictions and why?
Uriel Black: Can I just say that this is a BRUTAL slide for Nick Danger? From challenging for the World Title to the preshow in the span of a month. Thatās a drop of Noah Field proportions.
Rayne: We donāt say that name around here. Regardless, Iām going with Nick Danger. He put in a fucking gritty effort against Warren last month, and heās going to look to be on the rebound here.
Robert Henderson: Agreed. Puncherās chance aside, Mr. Happyās advantages arenāt nearly enough to compensate for Dangerās youth, athleticism, and determination.
Uriel Black: You know what? Iām going out on a limb here. Give me the clown! Give me an upset!
Summer Thompson: Wow, really? I mean, I was going to agree with Rayne and Robertā¦
Uriel Black: The pre-show should not be a land of complacency! Mr. Happyās been doing this for bloody ages, and where better than in Belfast, the land of clowns, for him to pick up the W?
Robert Henderson: ...I thought that was Detroit.
Summer Thompson: Next we have The Wraith versus Scott Handsome and Grave Roberts. Thoughts?
Uriel Black: I donāt know anything about Wraith but heās got anger in his eyes. Iām pretty sure heās going to win here.
Robert Henderson: Grave has been on a kick lately though. He has some very intense moves.
Rayne: But no one thinks they are going to win though.
Uriel Black: Give Robert the chance to dream for the first time in his life.
Summer Thompson: Next we have the bar crawl match. Anyone have any favorites?
Robert Hendersen: I think Stephen and Chris Diamond are going to come out on top of this. Andrew and Ethan might have more practice in the ring but Chris and Stephan are much more willing to go dirty.
Rayne: Can I vote neither? No? Fine. Andrew and Ethan seem a unlikely pair but theyāve done well in the past.
Uriel Black: I think they will get so pissed they wont even make it all the way to the arena.
Summer Thompson: Next we have the cell match of Nick Knight and Steve Awesome.
Robert Hendersen: Nick Knight and the church of crosse might not be anyoneās favorite but you have to admit that it is likely going to be him winning in this cage. Heās doing this to defend his brother.
Rayne: And Steve is doing this to defend his daughter? Get a grip. Steve should be putting his all into this match.
Uriel Black: He should have last time too.
Summer Thompson: Next we have the beat the clock challenges. Anyone have thoughts on who will get done first?
Robert Hendersen: I feel Evan makes the most sense to finish first. Warren has trouble letting go of a match unless itās perfect.
Rayne: Warren has stamina. Which might be his downfall here.
Uriel Black: Out of context this sounds like a sex joke.
Summer Thompson: Uriel! No.
{Summer giggles.}Summer Thompson: Next we have The womenās world title match of Mandi and Tara. Thoughts?
Robert Hendersen: Mandi has a lot to prove here and I think sheās going to be able to pull it out here.
Rayne: I think Tara has the skill and the drive to keep a hold of that belt no matter what Mandi does.
Uriel Black: I honestly just canāt wait to watch it all go down.
Summer Thompson: Next we have Cals versus Dakota for the Imperial Diamond title
Robert Hendersen: Cals has the experience and the skill. I think they are going to keep holding onto that title.
Rayne: Cals has my vote as well. Dakota is gifted but itās likely too early to give her a title shot.
Uriel Black: I think either could make a good call for the belt. I think it will be a good match regardless.
Summer Thompson: Next we have the tag team belts. Powers that Be or Gods and Monsters?
Robert Hendersen: I want to see these belts go to Locke and Abraxes. Theyāve worked hard and I think it will be a hard fight but I think they can do it.
Rayne: Angel is not above pulling something out of his back pocket to keep these belts.
Uriel Black: Have to agree. The Powers that be are likely going to do something underhanded to keep the belts.
Summer Thompson: Last but not least we have the iron maiden. Any thoughts? I hope Amber wins. Sheās had a rough time and this could be just what she needs to get on top.
Robert Hendersen: I have to believe Jess Reed is going to be the one who get the victory here. Sheās got the skill and it is something she could really use to escape some of the things Gilmore has been saying.
Rayne: Personally I like the idea of Virginia kicking ass and getting another shot at the gold.
Uriel Black: I want to watch Rowan just destroy some people.
Summer Thompson: Well, thatās all the time we have! See you next month!

BAR BRAWL CRAWL Part IWinners receives a World Tag Team Title Shot at NOTI
Violent Tendencies vs Those Damn Gaijin
-------------------------------------
{ We are shown a highlight package surrounding the feud between Those Damn Gaijin and Violent Tendencies culminating in the huge brawl backstage last week that left Chris Diamond bloody set to the tune of Crow Killer Blues by Rob Zombie. As the package comes to an end we are taken to commentary. }
Terri Morasco: So Vasco, the whole world wants to know what a Bar Brawl Crawl is, care to enlighten us?
Vasco Dias: Terri, Iād love to explain it to you but I think Alison Valance is about to do just that.
{ We see Valance in the ring. }Alison Valance: The following contest is a Bar Brawl Crawl! It will start in the Sam Adams Brewery and will be contested in any bar in the Boston metro area! Victory will come when one team is pinned, submitted or unable to continue fighting!
{ The crowd pops huge for the rules. }Vasco Dias: I couldnāt have said it better myself.
Terri Morasco: You had no idea what it was, did you?
Vasco Dias: I knew exactly what it was!
Terri Morasco: Iām sure. With the rules out of the way letās talk about this match a little bit. Violent Tendencies laid down the challenge, Those Damn Gaijin made them earn the match. Both teams have winning records right now and management decided to put a Tag Team Title shot on the line!
Vasco Dias: Violent Tendencies may have picked a match that suits their style but Iām telling you right now itāll be the Gaijin who walk out of Boston with a victory tonight.
Terri Morasco: Itās very possible, Andrew and Ethan have been more than formidable as a team, I believe theyāve only lost once since the tag team world cup kicked off but I wouldnāt count out Violent Tendencies so easily.
Vasco Dias: I would.
Terri Morasco: All right, we are getting word that Those Damn Gaijin are arriving at the Brewery.
{ We are take to the parking lot of the Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston, Massachusetts. A 2022 Bugatti Chrion comes ripping into the parking lot before skidding to a stop. The doors open and out hops Ethan King and Andrew Jacobsen. The two men look around before Ethan gags a little. }Ethan King: What an absolute dump!
Andrew Jacobsen: Whatād you expect?
Ethan King: Youāre right, it is Boston afterall.
{ The two men head to the rear entrance that leads right into the main brew room. The two look around the many rows of brew kettles. }Andrew Jacobsen: Where the hell are they?
Ethan King: Tap room?
Andrew Jacoben: Ugh.
{ Andrew and Ethan had toward the taproom but the door is kicked upen by Terrella as Chris comes charging through with a keg on a push cart and slams it into Andrew Jacobsen! Ethan goes to attack but Terrella charges him with a shoulder block, the two bigger men just bouncing off each other! }Ethan King: Nice try.
Stephen Terrella: *Groans*
{ King and Terrella start laying into each other with right hands while Chris pulls Jacobsen up off the ground and bounces his head off the keg. Ethan and Terrella fight into the tap room area where there are many tables and chairs for patrons. Chris and Andrew are now over by one of the Brew Kettles. Jacobsen grabs Chris and bounces his head off the side then spins him around and heaves Chris into the kettle with a release German suplex! }
Andrew Jacobsen: Go ahead, make another joke.
Chris Diamond: Fuckā¦ Youā¦
{ Jacobsen starts to stomp on Chris. In the taproom Ethan and Stephen are still trading blows. Ethan hits a knee to the gut and scoop slams Terrella onto one of the tables. Ethan climbs up and pulls Terrela to his feet. Stephen snaps back with a big time spine buster putting the both of them through a very heavy duty table.
Andrew peels Chris up off of the floor and runs him face first into the exit door. Chris turns and fires off a hard right hand that catches Andrew perfectly on the jaw. Andrew staggers and Chris throws Andrew through the exit door taking it off itās hinges and sending Andrew outside! }Chris Diamond: Hope that was fucking funny.
{ In the taproom, Terrella and Ethan are pulling each other out of the rubble of the table. Ethan grabs one of the wooden chairs and shatters it over the back of Terrella. }Ethan King: Have a seat! Actually, have two!
{ King takes another wooden chair and shatters it over the top of Terrellaās head! Outside we find Andrew back on his feet in a slug fest with Chris in an outdoor patio area. Andrew grabs a pint glass and just destroys it over the top of Chrisā head! }
Andrew Jacobsen: Bottomās up!
{ Andrew then spears Chris into the outdoor bar. Back inside Ethan has brought Terrella back up to his feet and lugged him into the souvenir shop. Ethan grabs a tap off one of the shelves and cracks Terrella over the back with it! Terrella falls back then turns and charges Ethan with a spear into one of the glass counters!
Back outside we see Andrew hitting the Borealis on Chris Diamond on a picnic table! The table doesnāt break and this frustrates Andrew so he pulls Chris up again but Diamond snaps back with A Fistful of Dollars. }
Chris Diamond: Keep the fucking change.
{ Back inside Terrella has pulled Ethan out of the broken wood and glass but Ethan reaches into his pocket and cracks Terrella with the Brazen Equalizer! Terrella drops to a knee and Ethan knees him right in the mouth! Ethan then pulls Terrella up and irish whips him into the door and sends him outside. }Ethan King: Check please.
{ Outside we see Chris making his way around to the front of the building where Terrella is regrouping. Ethan comes out the front door now with the nucks still on. Chris and Stephen ready themselves for a double team when Andrew Jacobsen comes pealing around the building with a fork lift! }Chris Diamond: Where the fuck did he find that!?
Andrew Jacobsen: I hope your insurance is paid up, boys!
{ Chris and Stephen just manage to move as Ethan comes running down and cracks Chris with the Brazen Equalizer too! Andrew pops out of the fork lift and comes up on Terrella and hits the Hat Trick on the pavement!
Ethan pulls Chris up as a bus pulls up onto the sidewalk and beeps the horn. }Andrew Jacobsen: What the hell is that?
Ethan King: Booze Bus, load up the baggage!
{ Andrew and Ethan pull up Chris and Stephen respectively and start dragging them toward the open door of the bus. Chris and Stephen start to fight back. Chris throws Andrew into the steps and he climbs up onside. Ethan and Terrella start ducking it out again as they make their way up the steps. The four of them are slugging it out on the bus as it pulls away toward their next stop. }

CELL MATCHIf Steve wins he gets five minutes alone with Crosse in a cage
Nick Knight vs Steve Awesome
-------------------------------------
{The giant ominous cell lowers down from the ceiling. The cell was wide enough to leave extra space on the floor and in one corner away from the entrance ramp was a small pod.}Terri Morasco: Well here we have the first of two cell matches here tonight. Neither of them are going to be pretty.
Vasco Dias: If Steve Awesome wins he gets five minutes alone with Lucipher Crosse. But if Nick Knight wins, Steve Awesome is forced to join the Church of Crosse for thirty days. I for one cannot wait for Steve to become Louās personal laundry boy.
Terri Morasco: Lou? You know him so well you can call him that?
Vasco Dias: Anybody can know Lou like that if you reach out Terri.
Terri Morasco: Oh god.
{Personal Jesus by Lollipop Lust Kill begins to play as red lights begin to flash slowly before lights come up on the stage. As the music swells, dim light begins to come up on the stage, now shrouded with smoke as three silhouettes fade into view.As the guitar kicks in hard, the lights flash onto the stage revealing the members of The Church of Crosse. Lucipher raises his arms as if welcoming the audience as Nick Knight and 'The First Apostle' walk towards the ring.}Vasco Dias: Here comes the greatest man in all of IWF and Nick Knight.
Teri Morasco: Shouldn't you be down on your knees worshipping 'The Unholy Son'?
Vasco Dias: Why, when I can take in the glory that is Lucipher Crosse?
{Nick Knight and Lucipher Crosse both enter the cell and walk around the structure. Periodically Knight grabs ahold of the fencing and shakes it to check the sturdiness of the structure.}Teri Morasco: Nick seems to be almost hesitant as he walks around the cell. I spoke with him backstage and he told me that in all of the hardcore matches he has had in his twenty year career he has never been locked inside of a cell.
Vasco Dias: Once the juice starts to flow and Nicky Nightmare comes out he'll be just fine.
{The brothers finally reach the pod and share a last second strategy session before Blue Shoes closes the door and it's locked from the outside. With one last exchange of words Nick climbs inside of the ring to await the arrival of his opponent.}
{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting his name.}"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
{Dramatic Pause.}
"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"
{The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones.}
Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery
{The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro sprays behind him.}Terri Morasco: Well the former world champion and would be hall of famer is here and there is no doubt in my mind that this one is not for the weak at heart.
Vasco Dias: Awesome might be a former world champion and future hall of famer, but heās not a butcher. This is a match custom made for someone like āThe Hollywood Butcher.ā
{Awesome and Knight stare across the ring at one another and begin to jaw back and forth. Slowly they come together. Steve points and yells at a silent Lucipher Crosse to āshut his damn mouthā. Nick attempts to take advantage of the distracted Steve Awesome, but Steve ducks under a strike from Nick! Steve quickly turns around and starts hammering blows into the face of Nick Knight. Nick tries time block high but Steve just starts punching him in the gut. Steve backs Nick into a corner and just punches and elbows and knees to the midsection until Nick Knight collapses down into the corner. Steve Awesome runs to the opposite corner and then comes running in with a big knee to the face of Nick Knight.}Terri Morasco: Good God. Steve Awesome just unleashed some hell to start this match. We knew Steve was angry coming into this match but this is example of his fury.
Vasco Dias: He doesnāt look done yet.
{Steve rolls out of the ring and flips open the apron curtain. He pulls out a few kendo sticks and tosses them all over the place. Some steel chairs get yanked out. The crowd pops as he slides out a table.}Vasco Dias: Ah! What does he need all that for? Isnāt this barbaric cage enough?
Terri Morasco: I think these men are out for blood tonight. Lucipher Crosse is shouting through his pod for Nick Knight to come alive!
{Slowly the Unholy Son gathers his wits and starts heading toward Steve who is still pulling out weapons and making a mess out of the ringside area. Steve reaches underneath and pulls out a black metal toolbox. Nick rolls out to meet Steve but Steve buries the toolbox into Nicks stomach. Knight stumbles over and he puts his hand on the apron to stabilize himself. Steve notices this and takes the tool box and slams it down hard on Nicks exposed hand. Nick screams in pain and clutches his right hand. Nick holds his hand in close to nurse the pain. He staggers away and Steve drills him in the back of the head with the toolbox and some of its contents spill out to the ground as Nick falls to the ground.}
Terri Morasco: That toolbox looks heavy from here. I can only imagine the pain heās feeling in that right hand.
Vasco Dias: He could have broken a bone in his hand, Terri! How can Nick Knight throw a punch with his hand injured?
{Steve Awesome picks up a pair of pliers and walks over to Nick. Steve stomps him in the face a few times then grabs Nicks right and puts one of his fingers in the pliers and starts to squeeze! Nick Knight yells out in pain.}Terri Morasco: Dear God! He could crack a knuckle doing that!
Vasco Dias: Steve Awesome is a mad man! Nick Knight didnāt touch his kid!
Terri Morasco: Guilty by association!
{Nick Knight reaches up and rakes the eyes and Steve lets go and drops the pliers. Nick again clutches his right hand and tries to shake off the pain. Lucipher Crosse shouts at Nick from inside his pod to get up at fight! Nick climbs up to his feet as Steve starts to regain his vision. Steve grabs a chair But Nick grabs Steve with the left hand and rams him into the steel cell wall. Steve is dazed but he still has the chair in his hand. Nick goes to ram Steve into the steel steps but Steve is able to keep his balance and hop up on top of the steps instead. And then he back flips off with an Awesome-Sault with the steel chair and he comes crashing down on Nick as the crowd pops!}Vasco Dias: Steve May have just smashed Nick Knights face in with that chair!
Terri Morasco: Might be an improvement!
{Steve pops up to his feet and poses for the crowd as Lucipher shouts at Nick!}Steve Awesome: Oh yeah baby, I can do this alllll-
{He suddenly points at Lucipher.}Steve Awesome: SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!!
{Lucipher curses and slams the pod wall in anger. Steve grabs a couple of the chairs and throws them into the ring. He slides a table into the ring and that black tool box that has already done a lot of damage. He throws all that into the ring and he rolls Nick Knight back into the ring.}Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome has more evil intentions. As he sets up that table against the corner. The one right in front of Luciphers pod!
Vasco Dias: Steve is sick! He wants Nicks own brother to see what he does to him!
Terri Morasco: I think Steve is just showing Lucipher what he is going to do to him!
{Steve slaps the table to make sure itās sturdy and he turns around to take a strike to the midsection from Nick Knight. Steve doubles over from the blow and Nick quickly grabs the black toolbox and uses it to uppercut Steve in the jaw. Steve hits the mat and even more tools fall out of the tool box. Two medium sized black bags and small mallet hammer. Nick definitely picks up the mallet hammer.}Terri Morasco: Oh no. Nick Knight has malicious intent with that hammer.
Vasco Dias: You can heat Lucipher Crosse ordering Nick to crush Steveās skull with it! I think he should listen!
{Steve is still dazed from the blow from the tool box. Nick brings the hammer back and brings it down towards Steveās head. Steve rolls at the last minute. But not quick enough as the hammer comes down and brutally clubs him right in the shoulder! Steve instantly begins to writhe and cuss from the pain.}Terri Morasco: Goood God almighty!! You could hear the sickening thud! There could be serious damage to Steveās shoulder.
Vasco Dias: Well thatās unfortunate. Nick was aiming for the head!
{Nick takes the hammer and goes for another finishing blow but out of desperation Steve throws an up kick that catches Nick in the lower groin region. Nick goes cross eyed a bit and drops the hammer. Steve pulls himself up to his feet. He tries to move his shoulder around and he winces in pain the minute he does. He looks around for another weapon but notices the two black bags that tumbled out of the tool box earlier. He grabs one and opens it up. He smirks when he looks and then spills them all out onto the mat! Thumbtacks!}Terri Morasco: Oh man. I was already worried about that shoulder.
Vasco Dias: Well itās definitely okay enough to bring thumbtacks into play.
{Steve goes to grab Nick but Nick clobbers him in the shoulder and Steve letās go. Nick grabs Steve and hits him with a belly to belly suplex. Nick sees the tacks and grabs Steve. He punches him in the shoulder just to keep him subdued and he starts to load him up into the top rope!}Terri Morasco: I think Nick is thinking super plex on the tacks.
Vasco Dias: Wait he wants more!
{Nick throws some opened up chairs on the pile and the tool box and any other thing with a jagged edge that would hurt to land on.Nick goes back toward Steve but the Face of the Franchise kicks Nick in the face! Steve kicks him in the face again and then stands up on the top rope! Steve launches off with a cross body but Nick Knight catches him! Nick goes for a spin out slam into the tacks but Steve flips out of the move. Doing so hurt his shoulder though. Nick goes for a clothesline to the back of the head but Steve still manages to duck underneath. Nick comes running back and Steve looks for a back body drop into the tacks but his shoulder canāt push Nick up and over. Nick responds with a devastating palm strike to the face of Steve. The move knocked him for a loop and he spun on his heel. Nick then grabs Steve, lifts Steve up like a spine buster but from the back and basically slams Steve Awesome face first into the pile of thumbtacks and chairs!}Terri Morasco: Oh My God! I canāt believe it!
Vasco Dias: Thatās what Steve gets for bringing the tacks into the match in the first place.
{Steve writhes in pain, holding his face and his eyes. The ref checks him out and has to do a double take. The camera finally gets a good view and Steve has a face full of tacks! One is stuck in his eyeball!!}
Terri Morasco: That is disgusting!
Vasco Dias: Nick Knight isnāt satisfied yet!
{Nick picks Steve up like a lawn dart and just hurls him outside into the locked door of the cell! Steve crashes into the reinforced beams and hits the mat as blood starts to trickle from a few of the tack wounds. His impaled eye. And a wound on his forehead. Nick Knight stalks his prey a sick smile on his face. Pulling Awesome to a vertical base āThe Unholy Sonā quickly sends his opponent crashing head and neck first into the door of the cage causing it to buckle from the impact.}Teri Morasco: The momentum of this match has turned on a dime
Vasco Dias: And you doubted āThe Unholy Son!ā
{Looking down at Steve, Knight shakes his head and begins to jaw about how pathetic the former world champion is as he laid on the floor writhing in agony. Like a predator smelling blood in the water Nick sticks his head beneath the ring and slides out a large piece of plywood that has been covered by coil after coil of barbed wire. The smile on the face of Nick quickly turns into a downright sadistic grin as he slides the barbed wire wrapped board into the ring and sets it up atop the table Steve Awesome had brought into play earlier in the match.}
Teri Morasco: I seriously donāt like what Nick Knight is thinking about here!
Vasco Dias: Nick Knight isnāt thinking about anything right now Teri. Nick Knight might as well be dead because thatās Nicky Nightmare inside of that ring and thereās no way of knowing what heās thinking. The manās insane!!!
{Sliding back to the floor Nicky rolls Steve into the ring and follows behind. A couple of stiff headbutts makes sure that āThe Face of the Franchiseā is thoroughly stunned before Nick lifts him to sit atop the top turnbuckle facing out into the crowd. Climbing up behind Knight locks on a half nelson and an underhook before throwing Steve Awesome onto the barbed wire board and through the table.}Teri Morasco: A Super Non-Dairy Creamer!!!
Vasco Dias: Donāt forget the barbed wire Teri! Oh and it was through a table!
{Knight makes the cover and Blue Shoes drops to the canvas for the countā¦
Oneā¦
Twoā¦
Theā¦
Awesome kicks out at the very last moment.}Teri Morasco: Nick Knight should know that it is going to take more than that to put down a man as motivated as Steve Awesome!
Vasco Dias: Nicky was just trying to show Steve a bit of compassion. The Church of Crosse is all about love and compassion.
Teri Morasco: Oh please! Tell that to the whole Matthews family
{Nick climbs back to his feet and pulls Steve from the rubble tearing flesh and ripping out clumps of hair in the process. A trio of hard rights has the future hall of famer on the ropes where Knight lands a big clothesline that sends them both crashing over the top rope and to the floor. Grabbing two handfuls of hair Nick caveman drags Awesome to the cage wall and scrapes his head back and forth like a cheese grater.}
Teri Morasco: Nick Knight is in firm control as that steel fencing rips the flesh from Steve Awesome's forehead.
Nick Knight: Let's hope Nick scars him for life so we don't have to endure any more of his crappy movies.
{Knight releases his opponents head and it falls limply to the floor. 'The Unholy Son' then reaches into his boot to pull out an object. Laughing like a maniac he holds it high in the air for all the world to see.}Teri Morasco: Is that...a spork!!!
Vasco Dias: Yes! Do you not know the history of Nick Knight? This man spent over a year in a mental institution for attacking a fast food worker with a spork.
Teri Morasco: I thought that was an urban legend.
Vasco Dias: Oh no it happened. Steve Awesome is not the only one in this match to have been on TMZ.
{Pulling the lifeless Awesome up to his knees Nick starts to dig the spork into 'The Face of the Franchise,' but Steve is playing possum and levels the playing field with one well placed low blow. Knight collapses to the floor and Steve stumbles over to the spork and picks it up with one of his Hollywood smiles. Lifting Nick up Awesome pins him against the cage and begins digging the tines of the spork into the scarred of forehead of the death match veteran. The blood begins to flow like water and the nasty side of Steve Awesome is seen as his laugh harmonizes with Nicky's screams.}Teri Morasco: Now we are seeing first hand what happens when you mess with a man's daughter!
{Awesome drops the spork but instead of staying on the attack he feels the need to taunt Nick with a crotch chop, but it seems to just give 'The Hollywood Butcher' a target as he reaches out and grabbed a handful then twists. The sound of Steve's laughs turned to screams several octaves higher and it was now Nick's turn to laugh at the misery of the man with whom he shares the ring. Slowly Knight gets to a vertical base, his grip never easing on the hall of fame huevos, and hits a trio of headbutts that busts open Awesome's eyebrow. Crimson begins to gush down the former champs face and Nicky showing his complete depravity begins to lick up the blood like a kitten at a saucer of milk.}
Teri Morasco: Knight is absolutely sick!
Vasco Dias: Steve Awesome brought this on himself, and you know it.
{Never releasing his grip Knight lands a modified t-bone suplex.}Teri Morasco: Cock clutch explorer!
Vasco Dias: Well Steve won't be having any affairs for a while.
Terri Morasco: My God what a brutal match this has been. Both men are bloody messes. They could both be nursing broken bones here and Steve Awesome had a god forsaken thumbtack in his eye!
{Steve Awesome lays in the ring holding his genitals. His face leaking blood from the wounds on his face. Nick picks up the splintered plyboard that was wrapped in barbed wire. He finds a piece that is exceptionally pointy and tries to jab it into the wound on Steveās skull. Nick gets into a full mount position and tries to forcefully jab it in. But Steve Awesome does everything he can to block it.}Terri Morasco: Oh my god! Nick is trying to open that cut up even more...or worse.
Vasco Dias: I told you Terri. This is Nick Nightmare in that ring.
{Lucipher cheers Nicky on from the pod.}Lucipher Crosse: DO IT NICK! FINISH HIM!
{Steve Awesome tries to push back against Nick but his injured shoulder makes it that much harder. Finally Nick gives one final press and Steve gets his head out of the way just in time. Steve looks at the wooden plank impaled into the ring in utter shock.}Vasco Dias: I think Steve Awesome finally realized what heās dealing with here. Nicky Nightmare is a monster.
Terri Morasco: Nick Knight is still in the mount position here. And the punches come down!
{Nick hammers away with his left hand. Then starts to pull him up to his feet looking to finish him off with a big move, but Steve comes alive! SMALL PACKAGE!!!}Terri Morasco: WAIT! Steve Awesome from out of nowhere!
Vasco Dias: Hey wait a minute!
Terri Morasco: The ref slides into place! One!
Vasco Dias: Nick will kick out.
Terri Morasco: Two! Steve is gonna surprise him!
Vasco Dias: Nick?
Terri Morasco: NO! Nick just gets the shoulder up in time! Iāll tell you, that was so close Iāll bet it smells a lot different inside Luciphers Crosses pod right about now!
Vasco Dias: How dare you make a poop joke at the expense of the unholy one!
Terri Morasco: More like unholy shit if you ask me!
{Both Steve and Nick slowly get up to their feet. Nick swings a punch but Steve ducks underneath and goes for the SteveKO but he canāt lift Nick up because of his shoulder injury. Nick drops down to his feet and locks in the La La Land and starts choking the life out of Steve!}Terri Morasco: There it is. La La Land. Tazmission. Whatever you call it, Nick Knight has choked many men out. And just look how he faces Steve so Lucipher Crosse can watch him fade. It makes me sick!
Vasco Dias: Steve tries to fight it, but itās the beginning of the end.
{Lucipher breath leaves a mark on the pod as he watches with evil intent.}Lucipher Crosse: Fade away former star. Itās time to go to sleep.
{Steve tried to fight out but his arms start to slow down.}Lucipher Crosse: Soon you will wake up as my personal servant. You weak, pathetic-huh?
{Suddenly Steve raises up a middle finger. And with a staggered choked voice he shouts.}
Steve Awesome: Shutā¦.your damnā¦.mouth!
{Then in a desperation move Steve starts running back ward as hard and as fast as he could and Nick stumbles back trying to keep his balance and both men tumble backward over the rope and down to the floor. Breaking the hold in the chaos.}
Terri Morasco: Both men go tumbling to the floor by the damaged front door of the cell.
Vasco Dias: Well I guess thatās like the only way out of that hold. But looks like that clever idiot hurt himself again in the process.
{Steve is clutching at his shoulder again. The same one that got hit with a small mallet hammer. Nick slowly gets back up to his feet, shaking off the cobwebs of the fall and out of anger and frustration just sends a brutal stomp right on the shoulder that Steve has been nursing. Nick then looks under the ring and he pulls out another table. He slides it into the ring. Grabs Steve by the hair and tosses him into the ring. Steve nurses the shoulder and struggles to catch his breath from the choke hold.}
Terri Morasco: Now what is Nick thinking?
Vasco Dias: He is thinking the end Terri!
{Nick sets up the table and spots the other small black bag that fell out of the black toolbox from earlier. Nick walks over, picks it up and reaches inside to pull out lighter fluid!}Terri Morasco: Oh no! No no no. How far is this thing going to go?
Vasco Dias: You day that now, Terri. But you encouraged this fight from the beginning. Lucipher and Nick warned Steve what would happen.
{Nick starts spraying the contents all over the ladder. He keeps going until there is nothing left and the wood is soaked. Steve Awesome, still a bloody pin cushion, pulls himself up to his feet. With one arm is still attacking Nick Knight. Steve punches Nick in the gut but Nick absorbs it and just starts setting Steve up for a powerbomb. Steve reverses it mid move and drops Nick into the mat with a big time ddt! Steve quickly drops down and starts pummeling Knight with punches and then drags Nick up and onto the table. Steve hits him with a few more punches and then starts to climb the turnbuckle. Gets halfway up and then drops back down and rolls to the outside.}Vasco Dias: What is that idiot doing now?
Terri Morasco: Adding even more hardware!
{Steve pulls out a huge ladder from under the ring. He slides it into the ring and sets it up. It just about reaches the top of the cell!}
Vasco Dias: What does he want to do with that?
Terri Morasco: More damage. His shoulder is hurt. He canāt hit his main finishing move. He has to try to improvise a way to put Nick Knight down.
{Steve starts climbing up. His back to Nick laying on the table. Steve climbs all the way up to the top and starts to call for his moonsault double foot stomp finisher. But Nick Knight suddenly comes back to life. He reaches into his pocket and quickly flips a zippo lighter open and tosses the flame onto the table. Setting it ablaze!}
Terri Morasco: Oh my god! Fire!? Are you kidding me?
Vasco Dias: Nicky Nightmare donāt play. Youāll burn if you think you are touching his family!
{Steve looks down at the flaming table down below. Nick quickly tries to tip the ladder over. But the pressure hurts his injured hand! Frustrated Nick starts climbing up instead!}Terri Morasco: Both these men have lost a lot of blood and put in so much and now they are fighting above a flaming table!
Vasco Dias: Steve has come so far, but now heās basically trapped.
{Steve quickly tries to climb down but Nick grabs him by the hair and smashes his head into the ladder. Steve almost falls straight down into the burning table but catches himself before he did. Steve climbs up and meets Nick at the top and hits him with a strike and Nick fires back with one of his own. The ladder starts to sway. Nick smashes Steveās face off the top of the ladder and then grabs him by the throat to try and push him off! But Steve pounds a fist into Nicks bad hand that was stabilizing himself and Nick roars in pain and letās go. Steve sees the burning table and Nick in pain and does the only logical thing. He reaches up and grabs the ceiling support beam and pulls himself up with one hand. Latches his legs around Nick and takes Nick down with a big Frankenstiener!!!!}Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!! STEVE AWESOME WITH THE RANA! NICK, STEVE, AND THE FREAKING LADDER GO CRASHING DOWN THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE!!!!
Vasco Dias: No!! Nick! No!!!
{Nick goes crashing through the flames and Steve falls not too far away. Nick rolls around to put the flames out as Lucipher Cross nearly faints in his pod. Nick gets the flames out but his clothes are ripped and burned up. Steve pushes the ref away and goes for the cover. The ref counts. 1ā¦.2ā¦..3!!!!}Terri Morasco: Itās over. For the love of God itās over. Steve Awesome has won and he endured all that to finally get his revenge on Lucipher Crosse.
Vasco Dias: Yeah but how much of Steve is left?
Alison Valance: Here is your winner, STEVE AWESOME!!!!
Terri Morasco: Well thatās the official call. And now Steve gets five minutes alone inside the cell with Lucipher Crosse.
Vasco Dias: No. This was never supposed to happen. Someone needs to see if Nick Knight is okay first.
{Nick Knight is still down and out but the medics are having a hard time getting into the cell door since it got damaged during the match!}Terri Morasco: Well looks like the cell door is broken. Thatās good because Luciphers pod opens just fine!
Vasco Dias: I cant watch!
{Luciphers pod slides open and suddenly he is inside the cell with Steve without a barrier. Lucipher quickly tries to run away but Steve eventually catches him. He grips Lucipher by the neck and cowers him into a corner.}
Steve Awesome: Finally, you little bastard! You are going to get what you deserve!
{Steve goes to start punching when suddenly Gregor Winter is at the door of the cell! He gives the door a few yanks and eventually he rips the damaged door right off the post!! Gregor tosses it to the side and strolls right into the cage!}
Terri Morasco: What the hell is this? What happened to five minutes?
Vasco Dias: Eh, that was five minutes-ish.
{Gregor Winter climbs into the ring and goes after Steve but Jayson Matthews comes storming down to the ring! Jayson clobbers Gregor in the back of the head and the big Viking stumbles a bit.}Terri Morasco: And Jayson Matthews side by side with Steve Awesome. Ready to even the odds and help fight the man that whipped his sister and oh my GOD WHAT DID I JUST SEE!?
Vasco Dias: Jayson Matthews with a RibKracker to Steve Awesome!
Terri Morasco: BUT WHY!? WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD HEā¦.noā¦.
{Jayson suddenly drops down and kneels in front of Lucipher Crosse!}Terri Morasco: You are kidding me. Why!? How!? Why is Jayson doing this after everything?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea but I love it!
{Jayson bestows whips to Lucipher and Gregor and they all three start cracking the whip onto the back of Steve Awesome! Steve takes the licks and does his best not to show pain but the stinging pain traveled through his whole body.}Terri Morasco: Why Jayson? I donāt understand. But thankfully here comes security!
Vasco Dias: They canāt help! You think Verona would send his best goons to help Steve!?
{Suddenly a bunch of masked disciples flood the arena and stop security. One of them climbs into the ring and pulls his mask off. Itās Jack Ferriman! He pulls out his whip and gets a few licks in too. All four members of the Church of Crosse take turns whipping Steve while Nick watches on. Finally after what seemed like five agonizing minutes of brutality, Steve finally just passes out from the pain. Lucipher, Gregor, Jack and Jayson all pose together near Nick Knight. The lights fade out and when the fade back in, the now complete again Church of Crosse weāre gone and all that was left in the ring was a bloody and mangled Steve Awesome.}Terri Morasco: Well Steve Awesome won this match butā¦.
Vasco Dias: He doesnāt look like a winner to me. Plus the Church of Crosse is back to full strength. Lucipher Crosse is inevitable.
Terri Morasco: Damn it all!!

Violent Tendencies vs Those Damn Gaijin
-------------------------------------
{We cut back to the Booze Bus, where we last left Those Damn Gaijin and Violent Tendencies. The quartet are seated in the back of the bus, each team occupying one side of the bench seat, silently nursing their injuries. Ethan shakes his head, sighing and looking to the ceiling.}Ethan King: Fenway Park. Such a classless place.
Andrew Jacobsen: I'd make a joke about the Red Sox, but they've managed to not be an embarrassment this year.
{Chris Diamond laughs, shaking his own head as he looks over at Jacobsen, the nearer of his two opponents.}
Chris Diamond: I'm just gonna remind your upstart ass that the Yankees own the playoff wins record at Target Field and hope you shut the fuck up.
{Andrew pauses, nodding, a hardness coming into his eyes. The bus begins to roll to a stop as he glances back at Diamond.}
Andrew Jacobsen: Hey Chris? How're the Wolfpack doing?
{Diamond's eyes narrow, and Stephen Terrella shakes his head, reaching out and putting a hand on Chris's shoulder.}
Chris Diamond: Fuck you say, limp-dick?
Andrew Jacobsen: I mean, I'd insult your pro team, but you haven't had anything to insult since Shanahan bolted. Think about that. The Whalers sucked so much, Detroit was an improvement. The city that brought us Steve Awesome.
{Before Terrella or Ethan can intervene, Chris explodes up out of his seat with a vicious uppercut! Andrew takes the shot and responds with an elbow, the two men brawling their way towards the front of the bus! Ethan and Stephen stand, protesting their teammates, and turn to look at each other. Shrugging, Ethan tees off with a left on Terrella, and they begin their own brawl up to the front of the bus, down the stairs, and into the next bar without pausing. Ethan manages to stun Terrella with a headbutt and a knee to the gut, allowing him to turn and hurl a few hundred-dollar bills at the bouncer, the sound of pounding punk rock echoing from inside.}
Ethan King: Cover charge! Keep the change, you filthy animāUGH!
{Ethan finds himself cut off by a heavy shoulder to the gut from Terrella, who barges him into the bar and slams him against the wall, just behind the back of a packed crowd of people half-dancing, half-moshing to a Celtic punk band on the bar's stage. Meanwhile, Chris has managed to back Andrew up against the wall, unloading a vicious haymaker that stuns the smaller man. Diamond backs up a step before charging in with a pump kick, and Andrew manages to duck underneath, leaving Chris's foot to smash into the dartboard behind him, taking it off the wall!}
Andrew Jacobsen: Bullseye, huh ace?
Chris Diamond: Get fucked!
{He swings wildly back around with another Fistful of Dollars, but Andrew turns it into a judo throw that sends Chris spilling into the bar! Ethan, meanwhile, swings with the Brazen Equalizer again, but Stephen catches his fist, wrenching his arm and slowly peeling Ethan's fingers back one by one! Terrella manages to keep control long enough to rip the knucks off of Ethan's hand, but he throws them away in disgust, shaking his head.}
Stephen Terrella: Don't need these to beat your ass.
Ethan King: Those were ten thousand dollar knuckles, asshole.
{As if to prove Terrella's point, he cracks Ethan with a left cross, sending the former World Champion stumbling. Andrew charges at the grounded Diamond, looking to deliver a hesitation dropkick! Chris manages to dodge this time, and Andrew's feet crash into the wood paneling, splintering it and earning an outraged shout from the bartender. Andrew stumbles to his feet, wincing as he feels the pain shooting back up through his ankles, only for Chris to catch him by the throat and haul him up for the Hang 'Em High chokeslam onto the bartop! Andrew's back contorts in agony as Chris reaches over, taking a swig of one of the patrons' beer...before spitting it out in disgust!}Chris Diamond: What the fuck is this?! Corona?! Too cheap to get a hooker to piss in your mouth, huh?
{He decks the poor patron, and Ethan, ever the opportunist, shoots an eye poke into Terrella's eye before grabbing Andrew's hand and dragging him into the crowd of punks. Chris straightens up, looking over at his partner, and throws the glass of beer to the ground with a shake of his head.}Chris Diamond: FUCK! Where'd they go?!
Stephen Terrella: Leave this to me.
{Cracking his neck, the big man wades into the crowd, displacing it with an almost surgical precision. The protesting punks find themselves tossed aside like sacks of potatoes, and the Gaijin's initial lead is shrinking significantly...until Andrew yanks Ethan in one direction, scrambling for the stage. As the song currently playing dies down, Andrew pulls himself up on stage, snatching the microphone from the lead singer's hands, and looks at him, a grin on his face as Ethan clambers up after him.}
Andrew Jacobsen: Hey Boston, how about you show the skinhead and the leatherdaddy ripping through you what you think of fascists like them!
{The crowd, already half-drunk and belligerent, roars in approval, and Ethan takes the mic from Andrew, grinning.}
Ethan King: Hi there, Ethan King. Uh, five hundred dollars to anyone who lands a punch on those two. Trust me...
{He reaches into his coat, withdrawing a strap of hundred dollar bills and flashing the smarmiest smile possible.}
Ethan King: ...I'm good for it.
{The added incentive of bribery seems to be the spark the mosh pit needed, and they turn on Chris and Stephen, flailing at them with noodle-armed punches that, on their own, would mean nothing to either man. When it's a crowd of a hundred belligerent Bostonians, however, it becomes a matter of weight of numbers. Violent Tendencies begin hurling bodies left and right, plowing their way towards the stage, and Andrew hands off the microphone, ducking backstage with Ethan as the brawling duo works their way through. Chris roaring a blue streak.}Chris Diamond: Chickenshit limp-dick cocksucking tofu-eating motherfuckers! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR FUCKING NUTS OFF AND CRAM THEM DOWN YOUR GODDAMN THROATS!
{The camera frantically chases after Violent Tendencies, following them up onto the stage, where Diamond levels the singer with a massive right hand and catches the mic before it falls.}Chris Diamond: Get a job, you fucking hippies.
{He flings the mic into the crowd before vanishing through the curtains. The muffled sounds of violence emerge from the back, and the camera catches up to both teams back into the thick of it. Ethan ducks a Fistful of Dollars attempt and looks for the Wildfire Suplex, only to eat a back kick to the groin from "Maniac" for his troubles. Andrew kicks Terrella in the knee, grabbing an equipment cable and wrapping it around his neck, and applies a modified version of Terrella's own Iron Throne finisher, shouting at him.}
Andrew Jacobsen: Feel good now, big man? Huh?! HUH?! JUST QUIT ALREAā
{He's cut off by Chris Diamond, who absolutely BLASTS him in the face with a big boot, sending Andrew whiplashing into the wall. Ethan, for his part, is still stirring, and Terrella forces himself to his feet, coughing and clutching his throat. Chris jerks his head at Ethan, shaking his head as he picks up Andrew by the hair.}
Chris Diamond: Grab the trash. Let's go get some real fucking booze.

SEGMENTShabaz Show
-------------------------------------
{ We come back from a promotional package to Keybo Shabaz seated on a modified version of the BTS set with an arm chair to either side of him, CMFT Must Be Stopped by Corey Taylor is playing before it eventually fades out. }Keybo Shabaz: Welcome to the first ever edition of the Shabaz Show! Where I sit down with two former rivals and discuss the future trajectory of their careers. My first two guests are both men who have been pegged as future World Champions as well as the future of the company itself. They had a heated rivalry that lasted months not all that long ago and came out the other side very changed men. Please welcome, Almir Sayed and Nick Danger!
{ Almir Sayed and Nick Danger each enter from opposing sides of the stage and each take a seat beside Keybo. Nick reaches across to shake the hand of Keybo but Almir just sneers when Keybo offers him the same hand. Keybo adjusts himself in his seat before continuing. }
Keybo Shabaz: So let me get started with Nick Danger. Nick, you just wrestled for the IWF Men's World Championship, how does it feel to come so far in your IWF career so quickly?
Nick:āIt feels awesome and exciting all at the same time. I know at High Stakes I let it all out on the line against Warren Kane for the IWF Men's World Championship and the loss bothered me, but it made me want to just keep moving forward and that is what I plan on doing.ā
{ Nick straightens up as he continues. }Nick:ā Also I want to add that if I keep working hard on my dream of becoming the New Savior Of Wrestling then pretty soon you may be looking at the IWF World or Television Champion pretty soon.ā
{ Keybo nods his head as he turns in Almir's direction. }Keybo Shabaz:āMy next question goes to Almir, how does it feel now that you've defeated The Chosen Elite of Scott Handsome and Grave Roberts?ā
{ Almir chuckles slightly before looking over at Keybo with a sneer. }Almir Sayed: How does it feel? How do you think it feels, Shabaz? It feels like I am taking back control of my life, of my destiny! It feels like I am once again becoming who I was meant to be! It feels like I am Making Almir Great Again!
Kaybo Shabaz: Glad to see your confidence has returned.
Almir Sayed: I know you're being sarcastic, Keybo and that is fine. But I am confident. Confident that I am better than I have ever been before. And do not think it's lost on me that you decided to try out this new interview concept with one of the men on my list.
Keybo Shabaz: Your list?
Almir Sayed: Yes, my list.
{ Keybo turns his head slightly and then turns toward Nick Danger now. }Keybo Shabaz: Well I think my next question is rather obvious, Nick, how do you feel being on Almir's list?
Nick:āI am on Almir's list, so it proves that he wants to try to beat me again. Almir wants to make himself great again and that does not bother me but if gets in my way, I will kick his ass Keybo.ā
{Keybo nods his head the turns towards Almir}
Keyboard Shabaz: Almir why is Nick Danger on your list?
Almir Sayed: He is on my list because ever since the Chosen Elite lost to the Fateful Danger I have been on a downward spiral barley able to beat jobbers! But that sinking ship has sunk and I am a free man and I plan on defeating everyone who has beaten me in the last year! Nick Danger is next!
Keybo Shabaz: So Nick, you and your partners do hold a couple wins over Almir, are you interested in another match with him?
Nick:āYes, me and partners have wins by DQ from The Chosen Elite. But to be fair the score is one to one. To be honest last year he beat me and also cost me my shot in Heir To The Throne semifinal. So if Almir is down for it I will be happy to face him again in any match he wants.ā
{Keybo nods his in agreement then turn towards Almir}Keybo Shabaz: Almir you've been a former champion before is their any like wisdom you want to share with Nick Danger? Also another question, what match would you want to face Nick Danger in and why.ā
{ Almir raises an eyebrow. }Almir Sayed: Wisdom I'd like to share? Why would I share my wisdom with him!? I wouldn't share my wisdom with close family members let alone with someone I very much plan to decimate in the ring! As for what match and why? There is only one match that comes to my mind. Man of Steel Rules. That way, when I beat Nick Danger there will be no question in anyone's mind which of us is better!
{ Keybo looks over to Nick. }Keybo Shabaz: Well Nick, the challenge has been laid, do you accept a Man of Steel Rules match with Almir Sayed?
Nick looks at Keybo in a serious look
Nick:āYes, I accept the challenge Almir. So, we are going to really find out who is the next person to lead IWF. Everyoneās mind has the theory that me and Almir are tuff wrestlers from different backgrounds. Almir says he is the Foundation Of This Federation which does not bother me. He, is looking at the New Savior Of Wrestling in IWF. Also, I will never share wisdom to my past rivals either. So Almir your on my list as well to people to beat again as well.ā
{Keybo Shabaz looks over to Almir}Keybo Shabaz: Almir, do you think your better than Nick Danger in this ring. Also where do you and Nick think your Man Of Steel Rules match should take place at?
Almir: Am I better than Nick Danger? Iām better than every single professional wrestler in this promotion! Nick Danger included! As for your second and much more intelligent question there is only one night I can think of for this match up. Night of the Immortals! On that night I will reclaim my destiny and leave Nick Danger in the past?
Keybo Shabaz: The challenge has been laid, accepted and the night chosen. Nick do you have any final words?
Nick:āYeah I have some final words, to Almir. Almir says it is my fault that he became a so called jobber. Well, to be honest Almir you started a battle with me and I was the one who won the war. But, letās not get this twisted we both want to know who is the really best in IWF that. Your on my list because I wanted a fair match with you for a long time. But, Scott and Grave got involved in our business so at Night Of The Immortals in a Man Of Steel Rules match. We are finally going to see who is the best. THE NEW SAVIOR OF WRESTLING OR THE FOUNDATION OF THIS FEDERATION. Because just know I am going to give you everything I got in our match. Letās see who got the drive to be the best or the greatest in IWF.ā
{ Almir stands up as does Nick and the two get eye to eye, nose to nose as we close out on this segment. }-------------------------------------

{We cut back to the Booze Bus, where we last left Violent Tendencies dragging Ethan and Andre off of the bus.}
Stephen Terrella: Why aren't we in Belfast again?
Chris Diamond: I told you. I made one bad mistake and suddenly the brand you a fucking terrorist. Fucking pussy ass country.
{Chris Diamond laughs as he tosses Andrew and Ethan into a bar.}Chris Diamond: Now let's get this shit...
{Chris and Stephen stop as they look around the leather bar with a bunch of men sipping cocktails in little clothing.}
Andrew Jacobsen: ...I think this is the wrong stop.
{Diamond looks ready to say something but Ethan picks up a bar stool and hits Stephan over the head with it. Chris and Andrew shrug before going to blows again. Stephen picks Ethan up and slides him down the bar through a bunch of beer bottles as the patrons gasp and shout.}Chris Diamond: I'm gonna stomp your fucking dick in!
{Andrew headbutts Chris.}Andrew Jacobsen: Shut the fuck up!
{Before Terrella can pick Ethan back up a very tall man in a leather corset starts hitting him in the head with his big fan, screaming at him. Stephen pushes him away and a sudden all-out brawl starts in the bar. Chairs are thrown, bottles are smashed and chains are whipped. Chris and Andrew are off in the corner throwing each other through tables as a very well dressed man simply sits and watches.}Stephen Terrella: Who uses a fucking high heel?!
{Stephen and Ethan crawl out of the leather brawl breathing hard.}Ethan King: More importantly, why the whips?
Stephen Terrella: It's crazy, right?
Ethan King: Entirely crazy.
Stephen Terrella: The beer is good though.
Ethan King: Surprisingly good, yeah.
{Chris tosses Andrew over the sound system.}Chris Diamond: STOP SOCIALIZING AND HELP ME!
Stephen Terrella: Oh, right.
Ethan King: As you were.
{Ethan picks up a mic stand and breaks it over Stephen's head. Andrew rolls to a stop and grabs another giant fan and hits chris in the face with it, both stopping at the large thwack sound it made.}Chris Diamond: Jesus fucking christ on a tricycle.
Andrew Jacobsen: Wow. I need one of these.
{Chris kicks Andrew in the stomach and the two go tumbling out of the fire exit passed some drag queens on a smoke break. Andrew picks up a standing ashtray and cracks Chris with it.}Drag Queen 1: Kick his ass baby!
{Andrew seems confused by the compliment which gives Chris the chance to pick up a cheap lawn chair and hit Andrew with it back through the fire exit.}Chris Diamond: Excuse us.
{Meanwhile inside Stephan and Ethan have paused their fight to enjoy a quick glass of scotch before handing their glasses to the waitress. Stephan grabs a skinny eary twenty something guy and uses him like a ram to hit Ethan in the guy. Ethan falls to the floor but hooks Stephen's legs to cause him to hit the floor.}Stephen Terrella: Why is the floor so stickyā¦?
Ethan King: Do you really want to ask that?
{Ethan gets on top of Stephen and starts unloading punches into his head and stomach before Stephen bucks him off and starts raining down punches of his own. Andrew takes the plastic chair out of Chrisās hands and tosses it across the room before superkicking him in the face. Stephen gets up and spears Andrew away from Chris but back through the fire exit.}
Drag Queen 2: Gurl, bye.
{A second later Ethan and Chris are almost sword fighting with some broken parts of wine bottles. The four hear cop sirens and rush back onto the bus.}

Vasco Dias: Makes sense.
Terri Morasco: First up weāve got Evan Albrecht taking on local sensation Jack āThe Spadeā Bombway!
Vasco Dias: Iāve heard good things about this kid, hell of a Texas Holdāem player too.
{ The guitars of "Devil Trigger" start to echo through the arena as Evan stomps out and raises a hand to the crowd before just outright Howling to the spotlight as he charges the Ring sliding smoothly under the bottom rope before climbing a corner rope to start taking off his jacket with a feral grin. Jack Bombway is already in the ring. }Terri Morasco: Allright, Gabey Edwards is the referee and sheās about to call for the bell!
{ Gabey calls for the bell and Evan doesnāt waste anytime as he roars across the ring with a European upper cut nearly sending Bombway up and over the top rope! }Vasco Dias: Holy hell! That was intense!
Terri Morasco: Evan is looking to end this as quickly as possible!
{ Evan ties up Jack with Spirit of the Fray and lights his chest up with chops! Then Evan takes Jack out of the corner with Lunaās Armour! Evan goes for the cover right then and there but somehow Bombway is able to kick out at two. }
Vasco Dias: I thought that was it and weāre only like thirty seconds in!
Terri Morasco: That was as close as close can get!

Terri Morssco: All right we saw what Evan could do now letās see how Warren fairs in his challenge!
Vasco Dias: Itās not a lot of time but Warren has won matches quicker than that before.
Terri Morasco: Thatās very true. Letās see if he can do it against local legend, Mysterion!
{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. Mysterion is already i the ring.}Terri Morasco: Warren is looking ready to meet the challenge!
{ Gabey is the referee again and she calls for the bell. Warren moves in for a tie up but Mysterion gets under him and hits the ropes for a spring board crossbody on Kane! }
Vasco Dias: Mysterion with the cross body!
Terri Morasco: Thatās why heās a local legend!
{ Mysterion goes to the ropes again for springboard moonsult but Warren moves out of the way and nips back up to his feet and catches Mysterion on the jaw with a lightning fast dropkick! }
Terri Morasco: Warren showing off his own speed!
Vasco Dias: Heās fast and extremely talented!
{ Warren pulls Mysterion up to his feet but Mysterion throws him off and hits a spinning heel kick to the gut. Mysterion goes to the ropes for momentum and comes running back at Warren but Kane ducks the clothesline and follows Mysterion into the ropes where he grabs him around the waist off the rebound with a snap release belly to belly overhead suplex! }
Vasco Dias: That was a thing of beauty!
Terri Morasco: There is a reason Warren Kane is world champion!
{ Mysterion tries to get up but Warren is on him with the Splosion Suplex! Warren drags Mysterion out of the corner and goes for the cover but the masked man is able to kick out at two. Warren looks up to the clock on the tron and seeās heās just past the minute mark! }
Terri Morasco: Weāre at a minute and ten seconds. Warren needs to put Mysterion away and quick!
Vasco Dias: It seems his challenger is putting up more of a fight than Evanās!
{ Warren pulls Mysertion up off the mat and goes for a Kidd Kick but the masked man is able to dodge the attack and head to the ropes again. Mysterion spring boards off but Warren catches him and hits a tilt a whirl back breaker! Warren then quickly transitions into the Calf Killer right in the center of the ring! }
Terri Morasco: Thereās only five seconds left on the clock!
Vasco Dias: Is Warren going to do it!?
{ Warren wrenches hard as the seconds tick away. Mysterionās hand is hovering over the mat. The times runs out and Mysterion literally taps a second after the buzzer!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner of the beat the clock challenge! Evan Albrecht!

Violent Tendencies vs Those Damn Gaijin
-------------------------------------
{ The camera returns to find Violent Tendencies and Those Damn Gaijin brawling outside of the Bleacher Bar, situated underneath the bleachers in Fenway Park. As they close in on the green double doors, Terrella hoists Ethan King up and drops him crotch first across the railing outside of the bar. Diamond takes Andrew by the hair and rams him face-first into the doors over-and-over again. Terrella delivers a stiff left hand to the side of Ethan's dome, knocking him off of his precarious perch on the rail. Chris Russian Leg Sweeps Andrew onto the sidewalk. }Chris: I thought these motherfuckers were thirsty? Andy here just kept bouncing off the door. Guess not.
{ Terrella shrugs. }
{ Ethan King races into the frame, delivering a running uppercut to Chris Diamond. Ethan turns to Terrella, kicking him low to drop the big man. Ethan starts rattling off closed fists to Terrella's head as Andrew drags himself up off the sidewalk. Jacobsen delivers a release German suplex to Diamond on the concrete. Andrew opens the door to the bar, and positions Chris' head as a doorstop. Both Gaijin turn their attention toward Terrella, peppering him with fists. They throw the big man through the open doorway of the bar, sending patrons scattering. }
Ethan: We didn't forget about you, Chris.
Andrew: Don't worry about ID, no one in there will question if you're old enough.
{ Andrew pulls Diamond up, tossing him into the bar by the back of the neck. Both Gaijin enter the bar. Terrella hurls one of the chairs from inside at Ethan's head, narrowly missing him. Terrella levels both men with a double clothesline. Chris regains his footing, stumbling over to grab a television off of the wall. He throws the television down onto Jacobsen's back with fury. Terrella lifts Ethan up and Samoan drops him onto a table, breaking the legs out from underneath it. }
Chris: Fuck, I need a beer. Bartender!
{ The terrified bartender peeks his head up from a crouching position behind the bar. }
Chris: Man, you got any fucking Troeges?
Bartender: No, sir. We have Fosters, if you want somethi-
Chris: Fosters!? For fuck's sake! I don't want that piss!
{ Terrella looks at Diamond, expressionless. Then Terrella turns and belts the bartender under the jaw with a stiff left uppercut drawing a roaring laugh out of Diamond. }Chris: Damn, Big King. Guess it's self-fucking-serve now.
{ Andrew re-enters the shot, taking Terrella's leg from underneath him with a low dropkick to his bad right wheel. Ethan had pulled a Red Sox Championship cloth banner down off the wall, which he throws over Diamond's head in an attempt to smother him. }
Andrew: Ethan, you're going to kill him.
Ethan: I probably won't.
Andrew: No, I really think you may kill him.
{Diamond flails his arms. }Ethan: Do you want to place a wager on it?
Andrew: But, what if you kill him?
Ethan: I can afford lawyers. It's self-defense.
Andrew: I'd just rather you didn't chance killing him.
Ethan: Fine.
{ Ethan rams Diamond's head into the bar, removing the cloth from around his head as Diamond falls to the floor. Terrella tries to take hold of both men, but the Gaijin team up on him to deliver a double spinebuster to him on the floor. Chris surprises Ethan with a Gran Torino, leaving him laying. Chris and Andrew begin to brawl with each other around the bar, throwing kicks and punches at each other from all angles. Chris ushers Andrew behind the bar, placing his head underneath one of the taps. He turns it on, drenching Jacobsen in beer and making it hard for him to breathe. }Chris: Drink is on you, motherfucker.
{ As Diamond finishes pouring, he punches Andrew in the throat. Diamond turns, noticing the large garage door on the bar that opens up to the baseball field. As if a lightbulb goes off in his head, he walks over and starts fiddling with opening it. Eventually he is able to crack it, creating an easy entryway to the outfield grass. He grabs a bat off the wall, admiring the lumber. }
Chris: Fuck yeah!
{ Andrew staggers out from behind the bar, and Chris places the bat under his chin from behind, forcing Andrew out onto the baseball field. Ethan and Stephen follow, trading big shots with each other, and throwing anything at the other that either man can get their hands on. Diamond jabs Jacobsen in the ribs with the barrel of the bat. Andrew catches Chris with a dragon screw legwhip on the pitcher's mound, throwing Diamond to the ground and sending the bat flying. Andrew grabs the bat and uses it to clothesline Diamond. }
{ Meanwhile, in the outfield, Ethan rakes Terrella's back, and strikes him with Bare Your Throat. Ethan climbs on top of Terrella and starts hammering him with right hands. Terrella reaches up, desperate to create separation, and presses a thumb into Ethan's eye. Ethan returns the favor, and the two men tussle for a brief moment, each refusing to break grip for their own well-being. Finally, both relent at the same time, each grabbing at their own respective eyes. }
{ Ethan walks in toward the mound to meet Andrew. Terrella is slow to get up, but follows him in. The four men brawl with each other all over the infield grass for about two minutes, just savagely beating each other without mercy. A groundskeeper looks on from the safety of one of the dugouts, dismayed as his field is being torn to shreds. }Groundskeeper (under his breath): Fuckin' wrestlers.
{ Finally, it's Violent Tendencies that gain control. Terrella hoists Ethan up and delivers a pumphandle slam onto the dugout steps. Terrella grabs a bat off the rack, telling Ethan: "this is for saying my girl isn't worthy of respect." He then smashes the bat over Ethan's leg on the stairs, splintering it as Ethan yells in pain. Diamond leads Jacobsen to home plate, and raises him onto his shoulders. Chris surveys the field for a moment before dropping Andrew right onto home plate with Sudden Impact. }
Chris: There's a big fuck you for you, you little prick.
{ Diamond covers Andrew; and referee Jessica Andrews, who had been safely trailing the action the entire time runs in and counts One!... Two!!... Three!!! }Chris: And that, motherfuckers, is how shit is done!
{Terrella limps over from the dugout, still wearing the wounds of war. He and Diamond raise their hands on home plate, and Diamond mimics hitting a homerun and watching it sail over the outfield wall. }
Chris: Damn, I always wanted to do that shit.
Stephen: Let's go get fucking paid. Whiskey is on me.
Chris: Hell yeah. Someone can come clean these motherfuckers up.
{ Violent Tendencies walk toward the exit as the camera returns to the arena. }Winner by pinfall: Violent Tendencies

IWF WOMEN'S WORLD TITLE MATCHSADISTIC MADNESSMandi Matthews vs Tara Fenix(c)
-------------------------------------
{Umbrella by All Time Low starts rocking the speakers as Mandi Matthews steps out onto the stage, a bit overwhelmed in a good way by all the people and there warm reception. She jams a bit to the music and then she jogs down to the ring as the chorus plays.}
Because when the sun shines we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end
{She slides into the ring and jams out the song with the crowd as they chant along.}
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay
Under my umbrella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay
{The music slowly fades as Mandi smiles at the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: The challenger is in the ring, and--
Vasco Dias: And you better remember that she ASKED for this match! She DEMANDED this match! The issue that is happening hereā¦ she is setting herself up for failure. She is setting herself up to be destroyed! At the hands of Tara! She walked into this, and when she doesnāt walk out, she will have no one to blame but herself.
Terri Morasco: I was going to say that she did want this match, but the recent chip on her shoulderā¦ she could very well walk out as the new IWF Womenās World Champion this evening! She wants to prove that she can stand with the best of the best!
Vasco Dias: Wellā¦ look no further.
{Every light in the arena shuts offā¦ moments later, a single blue spotlight shines to the curtain as the opening melody for āThe Eagle Flies Aloneā by Arch Enemy plays over the PA system and the crowd is giving their mixed reactionsā¦ The longtime fans have cheered, and overpowering the ones who do not know whether to cheer or not; some join in just out of peer pressure. Fog has filled the stage. The first verse comes and goes. The chorus comes in.}
I, I go my own way!
I swim against the stream!
(Forever) I will fight the powers that be!
{Tara emerges from behind the curtains; her head is covered by her hood. The championship around her waist glimmers from the spotlight hitting it, despite the fog covering some of it; Tara stands at the top of the stage with a sneer on her face as her eyes scan the crowd as if to find her supporters. Some of the crowd has gotten louder in her favor, while others are still mixed. Tara flings the hood back, and takes a better look at the crowd. The legendary Tara reaches down to trace her fingernails along the plate of the belt before going into a stride down the ramp; the stride turns to a brisk walk about halfway down the ramp. The crowd along the front row is bowing down to her. As she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she goes around to the camera side of the ring, and leaps onto the apron with one knee and straightens out her other leg while looking to the crowd and the camera.}
I, I go my own way!
I swim against the stream!
(Forever) I will fight the pĪæwers that be!
The eagle flies alone!
{Tara crawls between the middle and lower ropes, and crawls to the middle of the ring. After standing up, she walks to the nearest turnbuckle and unstraps the championship from her waist; she holds the belt up with one hand before shouting out inaudible words. After several seconds of basking, she does a one-eighty off of the second rope and landing. She hands the championship to the referee, and then her coat, then proceeds to wait for the match to start.}
Vasco Dias: And here is the champion, in all of her glory! She is ready to take Mandi apart, piece by piece, and show the entire world why she is the Womenās World Champion! After several years of being retired! She came back, and quickly gained the top prize in the industry!
Terri Morasco: It was a great return. Iāve been watching some of her old footage, her early days in the industry. Her days in nCw. The beginning of IWF. There was something missing from her, a fire that was missing, I will absolutely give that to youā¦ and it looks like that fire is back.
Vasco Dias: I would like to remind the people sitting at home that neither competitor is susceptible to being pinned or submitted until they are bleeding! Think of a First Blood match. However! Then you must pin or submit your opponent! The only way that happens is INSIDE the ring. Rope breaks are still in effect. But every other rule: out the window!
{At the sound of the bell, Tara and Mandi charge out of the corner! Mandi is already throwing some wild swings at the champion, who in turn raises her arms to deflect and fire back with her ownā¦ the two battle back and forth for roughly thirty seconds before Tara finally ducks under a wild standing clothesline attempt from Mandi, and Tara drops her with an inverted headlock backbreaker!}
Vasco Dias: Mandi came out like a firecracker, but the experience is always going to win! Tara knew that she just needed to wait for an opening, and now sheās going to just control this match.
Terri Morasco: Itās still early, and you have to keep in mind that Tara is going to have to make Mandi bleed before she can go for a cover!
{Mandi is already up to her feet but reaches an arm back to cover her back, as she stumbles toward and finally against the corner; Tara closes the distance between herself and Mandi and drives in a knife edge chop!}
Crowd: WOOOOO!!!!!
{Tara connects with several more knife edge chops with the crowd giving the same reactionā¦ Mandi reaches up and drives in a back elbow to Tara connecting to her jaw! Tara holds her jaw for a moment, and Mandi strikes several more times before Tara finally fires back with a knee that knocks the wind back out of her. Tara goes back to the knife edge chops. After a couple more, Tara drives her knee into Mandiās midsection, causing her to keel over, only for Tara to put her into another front headlock and walk her away from the turnbuckle before charging forward and going for a tornado DDT!}
Vasco Dias: Tara is going for a beautifully executed tornado DDT! Annnd--
Terri Morasco: Mandi says no! Mandi freed herself, but Tara landed back on her feet, and Mandi now going forward to start her own attack!
{Mandi takes Tara down with a spear! Mandi gets her into a side headlock on the ground, and begins to pummel Taraās skull, as Tara tries to cover up as much as she can. āMandiā chants break out amongst the crowd. After connecting with several punches, Mandi gets back to her feet and pulls the champion to her feet at the same time only to be met with an arm drag! Tara immediately commits to a leg drop over her arm, and attempts to lock in a cross armbar!}
Vasco Dias: Do you see that? Beautiful reversal. Tara has the experience. Tara has the technical prowse. She had to be the best technician back in the day! And now Tara is going to rip her arm out of her socket!
Terri Morasco: Mandi seems to be going for a more brawler aspect, being known to be a scrapper, and I think the wild shots is what sheās trying to catch Tara off-guard with.
{Mandi has her arms interlocked to prevent Tara from being able to lock in the hold, and is trying to keep herself at an angle to keep less pressure on her shoulder; Tara begins throwing forearms to Mandiās exposed head before lifting her leg and dropping it repeatedly over Mandiās neck: Mandi suddenly rolls Tara up! Tara keeps her locked in, knowing that the cover canāt be made since sheās not bleeding.}
Vasco Dias: Mandi seems to have forgotten the rule that she decided! Sheās wondering why Jessica isnāt going for the count.
Terri Morasco: But Mandi isnāt stopping there! Sheās showing her superior size advantage over Tara, and just powering her up!
{Mandi continues to struggle but is lifting Tara up, and drops her down! Tara tucks her head to protect herself, but Mandi lifts her a second time, and drops her again! Tara releases and reaches to the back of her neck in a bit of pain, and Mandi goes forward before hitting with an elbow drop; Mandi springs to her feet, and connects with a second elbow drop! She returns to her feet, and drops for a third!}
Terri Morasco: Mandi is starting to gain momentum, and the champion looks like she may be in trouble. Tara is starting to roll over onto her stomach, she knows she needs to get back up to her feet.
Vasco Dias: Mandi better not let up if sheās hoping to win this belt tonight.
{Tara is to her hands and knees and is starting to get up when Mandi charges forward and goes for the Dirty Dancing DDT!}
Terri Morasco: We could see the Dirty Dancing DDT!
Vasco Dias: Tara flings her off!
{Mandi lands on her feet this time, but doesnāt deter; she charges forward for a second spear, but Tara steps to the side and grabs Mandi as sheās running by to give her more momentum before tossing her between the ropes and outside of the ring! Mandi has a hard landing, and Tara continues forward to get out onto the apron of the ring and looks over her shoulder to wait for Mandi to stand upā¦ Tara springs to the middle rope, and catches Mandi with a standing moonsault! The crowd gives Tara a pop, as she now starts to unload with closed fists against Mandi.}
Vasco Dias: An amazing flight. A perfect moonsault. The only way she knows how.
Terri Morasco: You donāt typically like when people unnecessarily use high flying movesā¦
Vasco Dias: Nothing she does is unnecessary! Remember that!
{Satisfied with the work, Tara gets up and goes for the apron of the ring starting to search for something underneathā¦}
Vasco Dias: Remember, there are no rules! No disqualifications for this type of match! All that matters is that she forces Mandi to bleed!
{Tara comes out from under the ring with two itemsā¦ a steel chair, and a steel chain! The crowd does give a memorable cheer at the sighting of the chain. Tara tosses the chair to the ground and forces Mandi to sit up while wrapping the chain around her neck!}
Vasco Dias: These fans know how dangerous Tara can be with that chain! She has made history using it, and it has been her go-to weapon of choice.
Terri Morasco: I donāt like where this is going. Tara has that chain wrapped around Mandiās neck, and is starting to climb up to the apronā¦ sheās going to hang her!
Vasco Dias: Mandi better think quickā¦
{Mandi is starting to come-to, and feels the chain around her neckā¦ she squirms, and shakes her head frantically; meanwhile, Tara is starting to climb over the top rope to give herself some extra leverage, but Mandi instinctively reaches back and trips Tara! Taraās head collides against the apron of the ring, and Mandi just pulls the chain from her neck and is just breathing heavily knowing she just dodged a bullet.}
Vasco Dias: Just in the nick of time.
Terri Morasco: Tara was going to strangle her. Even if she didnāt bleed, Tara was going to kill her!
Vasco Dias: Thatās what Jessica Andrews is there for, to make sure it doesnāt get that far!
{Tara holds her head in a bit of pain from the impact of hitting the apron, and Mandi hits her with a double axe handle smash to her back! Tara goes down to one knee, and Mandi picks up the chair on the ground before winding up and slapping it across Taraās back! Tara cringes from the connection and the amount of force that Mandi used. Mandi throws the chair back down, and starts searching under the ring for her own weaponsā¦}
Vasco Dias: That chair shot rang throughout the arena! I donāt know whatās possessing Mandi, but that chair is indented with Taraās spine!
Terri Morasco: I think she knows how far Tara was willing to go, and just looking to get to that same point. But what is she looking for?
{Mandi brings out a trash can, and a kendo stick.}
Terri Morasco: Well, there we go.
Vasco Dias: How far are they going to take this?
{Mandi eyes the objects for a moment but then shakes her head. Sheās not satisfied with it.}
Terri Morasco: Tara is starting to come-to, and so Mandi may want to hurry!
Vasco Dias: This is the mistake that rookies make, all of the time! They do not keep their offense going, and they allow their opponent ample time to recover!
{Tara stands up and stretches her shoulders back while Mandi is preoccupied; she sees the kendo stick, and holds it tight in both hands before taking a hard swing to Mandiās caboose! The hit causes Mandi to jump and she hits her head on the mat from the bottom and now falls flat on her stomach; Tara raises the kendo stick and just crashes it on Mandiās lower back several times! After a couple more shots, Tara grabs her by the leg and drags her out from under the ringā¦ there are more objects wrapped around Mandiās arm. A bag of thumbtacks. A second kendo stick. Even a roll of barbed wire.}
Vasco Dias: Sheās lucky that the barbed wire didnāt stick to her skin, otherwise she would be bleeding already! Iām surprised some of those shots didnāt break the skin!
Terri Morasco: These weapons now getting involved are capable of cutting, so thereās no doubt that itās coming.
{Tara rolls Mandi over so sheās on her back, then raises the kendo stick and brings it down across her stomach! Several more shots follow until the stick is falling apart, and Mandi is clinging to her stomach in absolute agony; Tara forces Mandi to her feet and rushes her head first into the ring post!}
Vasco Dias: Weāre starting to see a side of Tara we havenāt seen for years. Years! The bloodthirst! And Mandi brought it out of her!
Terri Morasco: Tara is checking to see if Mandi is bleeding, as is Jessica, butā¦ sheās a bit dazed, but thereās still no blood. Hard to tell with how red her body has become.
{Tara brings Mandi back and slams her head a second time into the steel post! She looks again, but Mandi is still not busted open. Tara releases Mandi and walks over to some of the other goodies brought out by Mandi, as Mandi rubs her head with one hand but searches for a weapon with her other. Tara gets the kendo stick and the barbed wire, starting to carefully wrap it around; meanwhile, Mandi has gotten the leg of the steel chairā¦}
Terri Morasco: Mandi has the chair, but Tara has the kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire! And theyāre about to face each other!
{Tara and Mandi both swing around to face each other, but Mandi is quicker on the draw! She connects with a steel chair shot to Taraās head, as Tara falls to the mat outside of the ring. Mandi has a look of a sense of accomplishment, as Tara appears to be out coldā¦ and blood is seeping down her forehead.}
Vasco Dias: What did we see? Tara is busted open?!
Terri Morasco: Mandi has forced Tara to bleed first! This is going to be huge for Mandi going forward! That means that Mandi CAN earn a pinfall or submission victory, whilst Tara still has to get Mandi to bleed!
{Mandi throws her arms up in celebration over her success of busting Tara openā¦}
Vasco Dias: Look at herā¦ celebrating as if she had already won. The match can still only end INSIDE of the ring!
{The fans cheer in support of Mandi, and after her short celebration, she lifts Tara up and begins to slide her into the ringā¦ she crawls in right after her, and hooks the leg as Jessica goes down to count: One! Two! Kick out!}
Terri Morasco: Iām surprised that Tara had it in her to kick out! But sheās got to catch up!
Vasco Dias: How are you surprised that Tara had it in her to kick out? She is the Womenās World Champion! She is probably the greatest professional wrestler of our lifetime! Of course she kicked out!
Terri Morasco: I take it youāre a fan?
Vasco Dias: Youāre damn right.
{Tara rolls over onto her stomach and is shaking her headā¦ the blood drips from her head down onto the mat, and she takes a few heavy breaths as she starts to push herself up. Mandi is back up and grabs Tara by the hair to pull her back into a reverse headlock position, about to drop her for a reverse DDTā¦ but Tara kicks her leg back and connects with a knee to Mandiās skull! The shot staggers Mandi, and Tara turns it around so that Mandi has her placed into a front headlock still, but then sails her over with a Northern Lights Suplex!}
Vasco Dias: Now, Iāll go ahead and give Mandi some credit, but the fact of the matter is that she showboated to the crowd a bit too much after her success in busting Tara open. It looked like she would maintain control, but the amount of experience that Tara has means that she needs less time to come up with a contingency plan. Hell, she already had a contingency before that bell rang!
Terri Morasco: But Tara cannot go for a cover still! That is still benefitting Mandi, and now you have to imagine that the longer Tara bleeds, the more sheās getting worn out. Nevertheless, the champion is getting to her feet, and Mandi seems to be holding her back after that impact.
{Tara lunged forward as Mandi is still trying to stand up, aiming for a Genocide Kick!}
Terri Morasco: Mandi catches it!
Vasco Dias: I have no idea how she saw that coming.
{Mandi spins Tara around after catching the kick, but Tara spins through and connects with a back heel kick that sends Mandi tumbling! Tara stumbles down from her feet, but quickly recovers and advances toward Mandi, grabbing her by the hair as she drags her back to her feet before taking her back down with a snapmare, and then runs against the ropes to come back with a shining wizard!}
Terri Morasco: She looks like she would love to make the cover here, but Mandi is still not bleeding.
Vasco Dias: I think she knows that. She doesnāt have to make her bleed to still render her unconscious, then do what she needs to do. But sheās heading back to the outside of the ring. Whatās she going to get?
{Tara exits the same side of the ring where all the weapons were left and starts flinging them into the ring! First the trash can, then the lid, then the chairā¦ she slides her steel chain under the bottom ropeā¦ next comes the kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire, and finally the standard kendo stick, and then she picks up the bag that Mandi had gotten from under the ring and takes a gander inside. She smiles and sets it next to the chain. But sheās not done!}
Vasco Dias: Sheās going under the ring againā¦ what for? Oh, my! {Takei fashion.}
{Tara brings a table out from under the ring and sets it up outside where she isā¦ she then takes the rolled barbed wire and sets it up along the table before finally going back inside of the ring. Meanwhile, Mandi is holding her head as if she had a splitting headache after receiving the shining wizard, but was starting to come to the moment that Tara slid back into the ring. Tara picks up the bag as sheās getting up and holds it up for the crowd before starting to dump the contents onto the mat of the ringā¦}
Vasco Dias: Thumbtacks?! Thatās definitely going to cause Mandi to bleed!
Terri Morasco: This match has gotten more and more intense! I donāt think Tara cares that she hasnāt gotten Mandi to bleed yet, all of those tools of pure destruction can do just that, and more! I think Jessica may have to call this sooner rather than later!
{Mandi, now to her feet, sees Tara and just as Tara turns, she charges to go in for a spear! But Tara managed to stand her ground and just put Mandi into a front headlock as she started lining her up over the thumbtacksā¦}
Vasco Dias: This is going to be disastrous! For Mandi!
Terri Morasco: I think she saw what was about to happen!
{Mandi in an act of desperation charges forward and gets Tara into the corner! She starts committing to several shoulder thrusts to knock the wind out of Tara!}
Terri Morasco: Crisis averted, and Mandi is taking control backā¦
{After a few more shoulder thrusts, Mandi gets herself free from Taraās grasp and creates some distance before charging in! But Tara lifts her legs and gets her legs wrapped around Mandiās neck; Mandi struggles to get herself free, and is unable to do so, as Tara shifts her weight over the ropes and holds Mandi in a figure-four neck lock!}
Terri Morasco: Tara is going to choke her out! Mandiās face is already starting to turn shades of blue!
Vasco Dias: Mandi walked right into that one! Thatās why you donāt let your emotions get the best of you in a match! Especially with someone as experienced as her! Slow and steady. Maintain control. Thatās the key to beating such a veteran.
{Tara squeezes on the hold for several seconds until Mandi seems to be fully out; Tara then releases, and Mandi falls forward onto her hands and knees but holds the middle ropeā¦ sheās coughing trying to regain her breath. Tara lands on the apron and rolls back into the ring. She picks up the chair whilst en route to Mandi, and grabs Mandi by the hair to drag her back to a standing position and positioning the chair under her neck while now mouthing off at her.}
Vasco Dias: Tara is going to break her neck!
Terri Morasco: Jessica! You need to do something!
Vasco Dias: Thereās no real rules in this match, Terri, just make her bleed to be able to pin her!
{Tara raises Mandiās head up with the chair, preparing to slam it down but Mandi snatches the chair away and saves herself from having her neck slammed over the top of the chair! Tara stumbles forward from the momentum, and Mandi holds the chair in a position to attack until Tara fires with a Genocide Kick that knocks the chair into Mandiās face! And Mandi is busted open!}
Terri Morasco: Mandi is bleeding! That chair was knocked back into her, and now weāre on an even playing fieldā¦ Mandi hits the mat, and I just donāt think she has anything left in the tank. Tara is going for the cover.
Vasco Dias: The ever merciful goddess that she is. Tara could have taken her time, taking her apart piece by piece, but sheās just going to-- WHAT?!
Terri Morasco: Mandi kicks out!
{Tara seems a little aggravated that Mandi didnāt stay down. āMandiā chants begin to rush through the crowd, but there are combatting āTaraā chants at the same time.}
Terri Morasco: Just that one kick out shows how badly Mandi wants to win this!
Vasco Dias: I donāt know how smart it was of her to do that.
Terri Morasco: Because of whatās on the line!
{Tara, back to her feet, leans down and picks Mandi up with her; she immediately follows up with an uppercut, and then a knife edge chop! Mandi fires in with a right of her own! And Tara fires with a right of hers! Both of the women are now exchanging blows which is getting a larger reaction from the crowd, as they seem to get a second windā¦}
Terri Morasco: These two are just breaking it down into a brawl, and I donāt know how much more either one can take!
Vasco Dias: Tara may gain-- she did! And she rolls Mandi up!
{One! Two! Mandi kicks out at two and a half!}
Vasco Dias: Tara almost walked away with another defenseā¦
{Mandi sits up as Tara is already getting up to her feet, and then Mandi grabs her by the hair to drag her the rest of the way upā¦ Mandi fires in with a knee to her stomach, and aims for the Mandi Matthews Experience!}
Vasco Dias: Tara dodges!
Terri Morasco: Itās Tara dodging the bullet this time.
{Tara stalks Mandi as she tries to recover, and goes for a running bulldog toward the thumbtacks!}
Terri Morasco: Not in the eye!
Vasco Dias: Annnd-- what?! No!
{Mandi is able to keep herself grounded and lifts Tara up in position for a back body drop; Tara shifts her weight while being held up and Mandi drops her over the top ropes in an atomic drop fashionā¦ Mandi takes an opportunity to rush the far ropes. Tara takes a moment to get her feet back down to the mat, standing on the apron, and turns to face Mandi who charges the ropes and dives between the top and middle ropes to connect with a spear onto Tara and both women crash through the table covered in barbed wire!}
Vasco Dias: Holy!
{Both of them scream out in agony as the barbed wire digs into both of their skin, although Tara takes the brunt of it.}
Terri Morasco: Thereās going to be nothing left of these two by the end of this match!
{Jessica Andrews leans outside of the ring as Mandi Matthews rolls onto her back and tries to keep the barbed wire from tearing her flesh further; Tara arches her back with some of her attire sticking to the barbed wire.}
Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Vasco Dias: These women have laid it all on the line, andā¦ wellā¦ you have to give Mandi props. Everyone expected her to get into this ring and be out of it within the first five minutes, but sheās holding her own!
Terri Morasco: Both of these women are absolutely bloody messes, butā¦ the issue that both of them are going to have is that they have to get back inside the ring.
{It takes thirty seconds before either woman is able to stir; Mandi is clinging to the apron and using it to pull herself to her feet. Tara carefully maneuvers herself from the scraps of the table and barbed wire until she is clear from it. Mandi pulls herself onto the apron and backs up to the turnbuckleā¦}
Terri Morasco: Get back in the ring, Mandi. Just get back in the ring! Youāre going to break yourself if you do anymore outside! Just get back in the ring!
Vasco Dias: I think youāre right, but sheās stalking, and oh, my god! She is charging-- and diving!
{As soon as Tara had gotten to her feet, Mandi sprints toward her and leaps off the apron to catch Tara with a hurricanrana! Tara manages to avoid a second collision with the barbed wire, as Mandi crawls forward until sheās against the barricade and is now using that to pull herself up.}
Terri Morasco: Mandi connected with a huge hurricanrana, and Tara is hurting!
Vasco Dias: Mandi is getting a little too cocky out there and forgetting what it takes to win. Get her inside the ring! Butā¦ What's she doing now? Sheās climbing onto the barricade?
{Tara is slow to get to her feet, and just as she does, Mandi comes off with a missile dropkick!}
Terri Morasco: Mandi is on absolute fire right now, and she looks like she wants to keep that momentum going, but look at her! She is just ripped apart, her and Tara, but somehowā¦ somewayā¦ she is still going.
Vasco Dias: But now sheās finally doing something smartā¦ Getting Tara back up to get her in the ring.
{Mandi has grabbed Tara by the hair and is almost dragging her to her feet before sliding her under the bottom ropeā¦ Tara is careful to avoid the tacks still in the vicinity, and Mandi grabs the bottom rope to pull herself up; Tara rolls up to her feet, and Mandi goes between the top and middle ropes to re-enter the ring but is cut off by Tara!}
Vasco Dias: Mandi is now in a bad way! And Tara has a bad agenda!
Terri Morasco: Sheās trying to free herself, Mandi that is, but she has no leverage; her feet are tangled up on the middle rope, and Tara has her head control! I do not like where this is about to go!
{Jessica seems to be pleading with Tara to not do what she knows she has plannedā¦ Tara waits just an extra moment before dropping back, and finishing a DDT on Mandi on top of the tacks!}
Terri Morasco: I canāt believe what we just saw!
{Mandi screams out in pain and rolls over covering her face as she tries to get away from all of the thumbtacksā¦ Tara gets up, having landed on a few, but is overall fine from that collision. She gets up and staggers still feeling the effects of going through the table. Mandi is trying to pry some of the thumbtacks from her skin. Both women soaked in blood.}
Terri Morasco: She is incredibly lucky that none of those got in her eyes!
Vasco Dias: You are correct there, but the damage is still done! And Tara knows that Mandi should be done after all of that. Look at her clearing the thumbtacks from between her and Mandiā¦ The outside crew better get a good vacuum so no one accidentally steps on one later on.
{Tara scoots the thumbtacks out as much as she can from the inside of the ring to the outside, and as soon as enough is clear, she almost collapses over Mandi and uses as much weight as she can to pin Mandi.}
Vasco Dias: What a war. Mandi has nothing to be ashamed of.
Terri Morasco: I just donāt know how either woman is gonna be able to walk out of here, and this is-- Mandi?!
{Mandi kicked out at two and a half! The entire crowd gasps!}
Terri Morasco: Whatā¦ theā¦ eff. Tara doesnāt know what to think! She doesnāt know what to do! Whatās going to keep Mandi out of this? Whatās going to keep Tara out of this?!
Vasco Dias: These are all valid questions, and the answer isā¦ well, I donāt know! I really donāt know!
{Tara is sitting upā¦ she just shakes her head in disbelief. Mandi forces herself to roll over onto her stomach to prevent a follow-up pin attempt.}
Vasco Dias: Mandi wisely rolls over, because I just donāt think she has what it takes to get out of a second pin.
Terri Morasco: I donāt know if it was instincts, or just pure luck anymore, but Mandi is showing the world that she does belong.
{Tara raises her hand up and swipes her bloodstained hair back, and takes a moment before finally starting to get upā¦ she leans down to pick Mandi up along with herself, and grabs Mandi by the jaw. Blood trailing down both of their faces. Tara says something to Mandi, audible by the nearby camera.}
Tara: Sweetieā¦ Iām going to break you.
{The words trigger Mandi, and Mandi breaks free! She winds up and delivers a hard slap against Taraās cheek leaving a visible handprint; Tara scowls at Mandi, but Mandi follows up with a right jab, and a left hook, then a left jab, and a right hook!}
Terri Morasco: Mandi starting to fire away!
Vasco Dias: I think sheās firing off desperation right now. But Tara is doing well in defending herself, after being decked in the jaw like thatā¦
Terri Morasco: The only reason sheās standing is because the ropes are holding her up, and Mandi is unloading every pent up aggression inside of her!
Vasco Dias: I think-- yes-- there it is, Tara reverses one of the hooks, and now Mandi is sent staggering back. The distance is there, and Tara-- yes! Tara! The Genocide-- NO!
Terri Morasco: The Mandi Matthews Experience! Cover her, Mandi! Cover her!
{The replay shows the events that took place, and Mandi crawls over Tara but is too weak to hook the leg. Jessica counts: One! Two! 2.9! Tara gets her shoulder off the mat!}
Terri Morasco: Whew! We almost saw a new champion tonight!
Vasco Dias: But that is precisely why she is the champion! This match has been absolutely insane, and to think of how much further this can go? I donāt know. Mandi is looking for a way to close this one out, and the world thought that she had it there. Mandi Matthews thought she had it there! But Tara! IS! The champion!
Terri Morasco: For how much longer, though?
{Mandi is in a seated position beside Tara, now lost in her own thoughts. Wondering what she has to do to put the champion away. Tara is still lying flat on her back, so Mandi leans back and hooks the near leg just as Jessica goes to countā¦ Tara suddenly rolls Mandi up in a crucifix pin!}
Vasco Dias: The old possum trick! I love it! And Tara is going to--
{Mandi kicks out of it, and rolls backward.}
Vasco Dias: Ah! Another near fall!
{Tara is the first one to her feet, although Mandi rolls backward and was the first to her knees; Tara advances to go for another Genocide Kick! But Mandi ducks! Mandi stands up now, just as Tara turns around and Mandi looks to get a connection of her own but Tara lands the Fallen Phoenix!}
Vasco Dias: There it is. Thatās the match. Call it a day. Itās over.
Terri Morasco: Tara isnāt going for the coverā¦
Vasco Dias: Why not? Youāre too smart for this, Tara! Youāre too smart-- oh!
{Tara lifts the kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire and eyes it for several secondsā¦ she drops it a little closer to one of the four corners, but still closer to the center of the ring, before she reaches down to drag Mandi over so that when she gets up she will have the perfect angle. Tara backs into the corner and sits on the second rope while motioning for Mandi to get upā¦ the crowd has started a new chant. āThis-Is-Sickā is breaking out amongst them and the anticipation grows as Mandi hears them, and it almost draws her back to consciousness. Just unaware of what is happening around her.}
Terri Morasco: Mandi doesnāt know where she is anymoreā¦
Vasco Dias: Itās all that blood loss, you imagine. But Mandi has no idea whatās about to happen to her, and the moment it does! Thatās it! Thatās everything!
{Mandi plants her feet, and is wobbly as she stands up. She doesnāt get much time until Tara dives off the ropes for Heavenās Fury!}
Terri Morasco: Angelās patented move, and! ā¦ ā¦ ā¦
{Mandi goes down into the barbed wire at the center of the ring, as Tara finishes Heavenās Fury!}
Vasco Dias: She connects! Tara is rolling Mandi over, and she pries the kendo stick away so that she can safely make the cover.
{One! Two! THREE!}
Vasco Dias: What a war! What a battle! Mandi Matthews has nothing to be ashamed of, I know we said it earlier, but it cannot be said enoughā¦ she fought harder than anyone else and regardless of the outcome, she should know that she cemented her place in the division!
Terri Morasco: We are going to need medical staff out here for BOTH of these women, butā¦ Taraā¦ sheās somehow standingā¦
{Jessica has retrieved and given the championship to Tara, but is trying to beckon over medical staff. āThe Eagle Flies Aloneā is blasting throughout the PA. A crimson grin comes to Taraās face as she stands over her vanquished opponent in a powerful, commanding, stance; blood covers her face as she basks in the glory. As if Carrie were in the ring. All of a sudden, her music cuts, and āGatewaysā by Dimmu Borgir is playingā¦}
Terri Morasco: What? No! It canāt be!
{The music has caught the attention of the Womenās World Champion as she looked toward the curtains. Angel comes out from behind the curtains with a stoic expression; he just glares at Tara. There is no telling the thoughts racing through his mind. Tara, with a smirk on her face, walks albeit weakly to the ropes closest to the entrance ramp and sits on the middle rope while pushing the top one up. An inviting gesture.}
Vasco Dias: Well, this isnāt her brightest momentā¦
Terri Morasco: I canāt imagine itāll be a warm embrace if Angel were to go down to the ring, but that doesnāt seem to phase her demeanor. She wants Angel to go down to the ring!
Vasco Dias: If he does that, heās just going to pick apart the scraps!
{Angel shakes his head at her before finally disappearing behind the curtains again. Tara sighs.}
Vasco Dias: I think sheās happy that Angel didnāt accept her invitation.
Terri Morasco: I donāt know about that. Angel has been avoiding her since she returned, and I think Tara is getting tired of waiting.
{The music reverts back to āThe Eagle Flies Aloneā as Tara clutches her championship to her waist whilst getting out of the ring, and starts walking up the ramp; a team of the medical staff are trying to check on her but she doesnāt stop walking away. The second medical staff are tending to Mandi inside the ring.}
-------------------------------------
SEGMENTUlf Hednir wants a challenge.
-------------------------------------
{The opening introduction for āRaise Your Hornsā by Amon Amarth plays over the PA system, and the crowd goes into a frenzy! The music can barely be heard over the sound of the fans. Ulf Hednir quickly shoves the curtains aside, dressed in casual gear, jeans and one of the numerous Ulf shirts available at the IWF Shop, and marches out onto the stage with the IWF World Television Championship being worn around his waist, and his drinking horn held high over his head.}Ulf Hednir: SKĆ
L!
Crowd: SKĆ
L!
{Ulf drinks from the drinking horn, and after, turns it upside down to show the crowd that there is nothing left. Ulf attaches the drinking horn to a strap hanging off his primary belt, and marches down the ramp to shake hands or high five many of the fans along the ramp; fans scramble to get as close as they can and he takes an extra moment to ensure he greets as many as he can. Ulf goes around to the right side of the ring, still greeting as many fans as he can until he reaches the timekeeperās table, where he removes the headdress and the drinking horn, placing them on the table. He walks up to the apron and leaps up, grabbing the ropes, and leaning back to let loose a mighty howl.}
Raise your horns, raise them up to the sky,
We will drink to glory tonight!
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends,
We will meet where the beer never ends!
{The chorus plays over, and Ulf steps between the middle and top ropes before parading around the ring a bit. One of the crew hands a microphone to the reigning IWF World Television Champion who just continues pacing in the ring whilst waiting for his music to cut. A moment later, it does.}
Ulf Hednir: Takk, friends! Takk, family! Jeg did hva everybody had already counted me ute of doing disse past week at Sacrifice. Jeg ended min gauntlet by defeating tre (three) men in en (one) night! Og jeg er STILL! IWF! WORLD! TELEVISION! CHAMPION!
{The entire crowd cheers, as the crowd alternates between chanting āskĆ„lā and āUlfā at the top of their lungs. The reception brings a smile to Ulfās face, as he basks in their praises for several seconds.}
Ulf Hednir: Takk! Takk! But, de end of de gauntlet has brought a bit of a bittersweet momentā¦ der were some people det dodged de challenge after competing in de battle royal, og der seems to be nothing det management is willing to do about it. Det is fine! But de issue det jeg er now having is det jeg do not wish for det to beā¦ de end. Jeg do not wish to suddenly be put on de sideline og watch everybody else compete! Jeg er still looking to DEFEND! MY! CHAMPIONSHIP!
{Ulf shouting out those words received another huge pop from the crowd.}Vasco Dias: The world is tired of you, Ulf! You did what you wanted to do, now kindlyā¦ leaveā¦ youāre not even booked-- heās not even booked for a match this evening, Terri, he needs to just leave.
Terri Morasco: He can stay a moment longer. I donāt mind.
Ulf Hednir: With det being saidā¦ jeg must ask. Who. Wants. To. Face. Me. At Sacrifice?
{Ulf lowered the microphone to await the arrival of someone, and he did not have to wait long! The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits.}
I crawled out the gutter
I rose to the top
My reign everlasting
I canāt be stopped
I was made for the throne
Rise up til I moan
You been waiting on a ruler
Well Iām home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He has a microphone in his hand, but unlike Ulf, he is dressed and ready for a match.}
JC Keeton: Ulf! Iāve been waiting for this day to come since you defeated me, which you're the only to do so by the way so I feel like I've done more than enough to earn another shot. I knew that you were gonna clear the entire gauntlet. There wasn't a single name on that list that could take you to the limits, and give you the kind of test that I didā¦
Vasco Dias: What about Nick Knight? Or Stephen Terrella?
JC Keeton: The only shot they had at defeating you was to follow the blueprint I laid out and almost followed through on but no one did but nowā¦ you are in quite the predicamentā¦
Terri Morasco: JC seems like heās wanting to take Ulf up on this challenge.
JC Keeton: You need a new challenger, but Ulf! You scared off all the competition! You scared everybody in the back. They saw that dominant run through the gauntlet and no one wants to try again. Nobody wants to come out here and face youā¦ EXCEPT ME.
{Ulf chuckles while staring down toward his friend.}Ulf Hednir: Alright! Sacrifice!
JC Keeton: Nah buddyā¦
{Ulf seemed confused, as did the audible confusion from the audienceā¦}
JC Keeton: Right. Now.
Terri Morasco: Ulfās not dressedā¦ weāll have to watch him undress. Hmm.
Vasco Dias: Seriously? No, no, no! This canāt happen!
{Ulf raises his microphone, and bites his lip, but shrugs his shoulders and tilts his head as the crowd has been chanting āplease say yesā...}Ulf Hednir: Du er on!
{The crowds cheers drown out all the other noise, as Jessica Andrews comes out from behind the curtains; she joins JC Keeton with charging down to the ring as Ulf strips his shirt off and tosses it into the crowd where a few of the ladies can be seen competing in their own wrestling match for it. Ulf also removes his championship and hands it to Jessica Andrews who holds it up to show the crowd what is on the line.}Terri Morasco: I canāt believe what weāre watching! Ulf and JC! Round two! The first match these two had with each other was off the charts, butā¦ I think Ulf may be at a bit of a disadvantage this evening. He was not ready to compete this evening!
Vasco Dias: Someone needs to stop this. Ulf is not supposed to be here tonight, and I donāt even know why JC is here, either! Neither man was booked!
Terri Morasco: Their love for the company? Most people come to cheer on their friends and just to support their business, and you have to imagine that Ulf did pay attention to Evan Albrechtās āBeat The Clockā challenge earlier this evening.
Vasco Dias: Well, I guess I have no choiceā¦ Jessica has called for the bell, and these two are already going at each other!
{JC tries to clinch with Ulf, only to be immediately taken into a side headlock! Ulf takes him down with a headlock takedown, and keeps the side headlock applied while having JC grounded, and JC uses his hands to force Ulfās biceps away from his head just far enough to let him squeeze himself free, and JC springs to his feet just a tad quicker than Ulf! Ulf goes for a clothesline, but JC manages to circle around and take Ulf down and attempt a crucifix pin!}Vasco Dias: I didnāt think it would happen, but we could see a new TV Champion! And--
Terri Morasco: Ulf is able to kick out at two, but JC is already up to his feetā¦
Vasco Dias: Up to his feet, and he connects with a beautiful yakuza kick! Now look at JC go, he makes another cover.
Terri Morasco: But Ulf powers out at one!
{Ulf sits up immediately, and JC hurries to get behind him and place him in a sleeper hold! JC tries to squeeze on Ulfās neck to put him to sleep, but Ulf is still starting to get up to his feetā¦ he reaches his arms up to JCās in an attempt to overpower him and pull himself free from the hold, and Ulf starts throwing a few elbows and knees! JC is battling back with his own knees as they are now facing each other and just locked in a clinch; JC and Ulf continue throwing shots at each other while clinched, and then a well-timed knee from JCā¦}DING!
Terri Morasco: What? Ulf looks hurt.
Vasco Dias: I would say so! He just got hit in his manhood! I canāt say he doesnāt deserve it, but no man would ever wish that on another man!
{The replay shows that during their scuffle, JC had gone for a knee and Ulf had moved in an attempt to defend himself but got caught with an accidental low blow.}Terri Morasco: Noā¦ JC looks confused. I donāt think it was intentional. It didnāt look intentional.
{JC Keeton is arguing his case with Jessica Andrews, but she is standing firm on her decision; Ulf is recovering, but insisting that heās good to let the match continueā¦ Jessica shakes her head again, and goes to grab Ulfās arm, who now angrily pulls his arm away. Despite not having a microphone, you can hear him.}Ulf Hednir: Nei! It was an accident! Vi vil continue disse match!
Vasco Dias: Oh, buddy, you donāt tell the officials how to do their job.
{The crowd is chanting ālet them fightā, but Jessica Andrews is shaking her head and receives a rain of boos for her confirmation that the match needed to stop. JC and Ulf are talking amongst each other, and they seem to come to a confirmation with Jessica. Jessica goes over and mentions something to Alison before Alison makes the announcement.}
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been ruled a NO CONTEST!
Vasco Dias: What?! JC Keeton committed a clear cheat, and while I donāt like siding with Ulf, that is grounds for disqualification! Therefore, Ulf SHOULD win!
Terri Morasco: I think they agreed since Jessica Andrews was standing firm on her decision that the contest needed to come to an end. Blue Shoes would have allowed the accidental shot to occur, and Jessica is usually good about it, but it seems she felt she needed to be firm on the rules this evening.
Vasco Dias: Sheās probably just trying to suck up to Ulf! Just like you!
{JC and Ulf are still talking amongst each other after the decision has been made, both of them visibly angry with the officialās firm decision. Ulf does take his championship and the friends leave up the ramp while the crowd is still booing Jessicaās decision.}Vasco Dias: Damn it! You all are going to show her respect!
Terri Morasco: I agree with you, Vasco, Jessica is a great official. She just made the wrong call tonight.

Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for One fall and is for the DIAMONDS CHAMPIONSHIP..
{The echoing guitar intro of "Tears Don't Fall" sounds through the arena before a howl of "LET'S GOOOOOO!" brings Cals Jacobsen running out onto the stage, shoulder-rolling forward and coming up kneeling with their hands in horns and their tongue out, grinning ear to ear. They pop up to their feet, nodding and grinning wickedly as they walk down the ramp, fist bumping and high-fiving with fans. Climbing the ring steps, Cals hangs off the ring post, nodding along to the music, and steps through the ropes, pacing in a circle before running to the ropes and leaping up onto the second rope, throwing their hood back and bellowing out to the fans. Cals detaches their hood, unfolding it and tossing it into the crowd before running the ropes, clearly psyched for their match.}Alison Valance: Now entering the ring , Your Champion!

Briefly lifting her hood to peek at the crowd before roaring to the ceiling and having either side of the ramp explode in Blue Pyro before then marching down to the ring.

Terri Morasco: Whilst my erstwhile college skirts us dangerously close to a conversation with the house of mouse, Weāre watching The continually growing Dakota Bowman climbing to meet Cals for her first ever shot at IWF gold. You have to wonder whatās going through her mind right now.
Vasco Dias: Oh cāmon it was funny.
Terri Morasco: Shut up, Vasco.
{The two move up to square up as the Ref gives instructions to both Cals staring right up at Dakota who looks down with a smile and a slight grin and nods before two of them do a fist bump to each other and move away to their respective corners and the bell rings! Cals comes roaring out of the corner and Dakota steps up to meet her half way the two shoulder checking and Neither going down. Jacobsen makes for the ropes ducking under a line attempt turning a back elbow swing into a reversal of Irish Whip as Dakota knocks Cals to the ground with another shoulder standing tall before moving to the ropes Cals is quick to kip up to their feet and leap frog over Dakota dropping instantly into a Sleep trip attempt which Dakota dodges before Cals is up their feet again to hit a blistering drop kick and stands to face the crowd throwing both their arms out to the crowd and then thumping their chest with a fist as Dakota crashes to ground and rises up herself behind Cals and Cals turns around even as Dakota brushes her shoulder off with one hand and takes up a stance }Terri Morasco: Dakota could have taken advantage there but didnāt!

{Cals starts to circle Dakota as she gets up and keeps herself in her spot following her around as Jacobsen skirts low with a wrestlerās walk and tries to go behind on the larger woman but Dakota is faster than she appears and is quick to trap Caleās right arm and drop to one knee throwing her over Cals manages to twist themselves through to their head spinning over to transition to Daktoaās back, attempting to Capture the lager womanās neck in a Rear naked choke, again the lager woman senses the danger and grips on arm to spin herself out held into Calās belly and into a sort of attempt at a Guillotine as Cals swings through to try the leg hooks and Daktoa just stands up still blocking the choke arm as her second arm wraps over Cals neck to pull her with pure strength into a stalled suplex holding Cals up there for a while even after the muscle up. Calsā legs wiggle in the air as they try to set their weight down about Dakota catches her halfway down and swings backwards into a suplex before she stands up herself and roars again to the crowd as Cals stands!}Vasco Dias: Thatās it!
Terri Morasco: Cals maybe taking advantage where Dakota didnāt!

Jacobsen doesnāt even hesitate to run for the opposite ropes and then step up the ropes with a Tope Con Hilo on the larger woman the pair of bodies spilling to the ground as the Ref starts to lay into the count}Terri Morasco: Using their entire body as weapon!

-------------------------------------
IWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPCELL MATCH
Gods and Monsters vs Power that Be(c)
-------------------------------------
{The first chord strikes the guitar and the lights throughout the arena begin flickering before finally dying outā¦}
Lord knows the devil don't sleep,
He never shuts his eyes,
You never hear him creepin'... heh...
{The melody shifts to the beginning guitar for āMonster (Under My Bed)ā as a heavy smoke rolls over the stage, and the duo of Gods & Monsters emerge from the center stage; Locke has his thumbs tucked into his belt loops. Abraxesās eyes are burning out from under his mask. A fog fills the arena, and both beings begin walking down the ramp. A āLokiā chant is breaking out amongst the crowd, and Locke just tips his hat to the crowd while walking by them. Abraxes just walks down to the ring. As the first verse to āMonster (Under My Bed)ā comes to a close, the song transitions back to āThe Devil Donāt Sleepā on the beginning of the second verse. Locke has reached the steel steps that he goes up, and Abraxes crawls under the bottom rope.}
He's at your door, don't let him in,
He'll lie, he'll steal, he'll kill, he'll win
{Locke, standing on the apron, gives a sly grin to the crowd before stepping between the top and middle ropes; meanwhile Abraxes is crawling in exaggerated movements of his hands and legs to appear more like a spider than a man. Locke stomps across the ring and holds his arms out with his hand forming a finger gun salute; Locke throws his head back to bask in some of the glory his name is resounding as the crowd continues their āLokiā chant. The song transitions again but soon comes to a close with Locke and Abraxes both standing on their feet while waiting for the start of the match.}
Terri Morasco: And the challengers are here! Gods & Monsters, looking to have some vengeance for last month!
Vasco Dias: Vengeance for what? They lost. Fair and square. Theyāre going to lose again tonight. Fair and square.
{ The lights in the arena go out as Mission Statement by Stone Sour begins to play. A spot light shines down upon the entrance ramp highlighting Angel Blake and Dean Harper. The two stand side by side with their arms out stretched before pyro fires off all around them. The father and son pairing head toward the ring as the crowd boos. Angel and Dean each take a different side of the ring and climb up before facing the crowd with their outstretched arms and the whole arena being engulfed in light. When the lighting returns to normal they are both in the ring and ready to fight. }
Vasco Dias: And here are the Tag Team Champions! Do you see what I see when I look at them? Champions! A cohesive unit. A father/son duo thatās inseparable!
Terri Morasco: They have been dominant since the revival of the Tag Team Division, but letās not forget how they won last month--
Vasco Dias: They won because they outsmarted them! Itās that simple!
{Some of the crew chain the cage shut from outside the ring, as Blue Shoes is ensuring that the cell is securely shut. Both of the teams are staring across at each other; Locke with a sinister smile on his faceā¦ Abraxes tilts his head back and forth while chattering his teeth. Angel remains stoic. And Dean sports a smirk of his own. Blue Shoes calls for the bell, and hell breaks loose off the start! Abraxes and Angel; Dean and Locke! The fists are flying every direction, and all poor Blue Shoes can do is try not to be caught in the middle of it despite being locked in the cell with these four maniacs!}
Vasco Dias: Blue Shoes doesnāt know what to do!
Terri Morasco: I think heās doing the best thing he can do, and thatās just staying out of the wayā¦ Locke is gaining an edge over Dean after catching one of his punches, and now Dean is getting backed into the corner.
Vasco Dias: And somehow, someway, Abraxes is also battering Angel! This canāt be happeningā¦ and! What are they going to do next?
{Locke and Abraxes stare back at each other for a brief moment before grabbing their respective opponentsā arms and sending them on a collision course! Angel and Dean manage to avoid the collision, and Dean continues toward Abraxes as Abraxes looks to counter into a clothesline, but Dean ducks under itā¦ he leaps to the top rope and comes back with an elbow that connects with Abraxes! Meanwhile, across the ring, Angel avoids the collision and meets Locke with a leaping knee!}
Vasco Dias: And just like that, The Powers That Be are back in control. And not a moment too soon! Dean Harper seemed to stun Abraxes with a well-placed elbow, although Abraxes is still on his feet and he is starting to fire with his own shots against Dean. Angel took Locke down with a beautiful knee, and Locke is to his feet but now the veteran that is Angel, the hall of famer that is Angel, appears to be aiming to focus on Lockeās left arm with a single-arm DDT.
Terri Morasco: Heās trying to transition that into an armbar, but Locke is able to spin out of it, but Angel doesnāt want to let go. It looks like he may try to break that arm if Locke resists too much!
{Dean tries to battle Abraxes back down with several elbows and knee strikes, but Abraxes fires in with a headbutt that staggers Dean! Dean shakes it off, but is met with a second headbutt, and Abraxes follows up with a forearm, and an elbow, until Dean is against the ropes; Abraxes then charges forward and takes him over the ropes with a clothesline! Abraxes turns his attention to Angel, who is still trying to keep the edge over Locke.}
{Meanwhile, Locke was trying to wriggle his arm away from Angelās grasp to no avail; with Locke held in an arm wrench, Angel lands a devastating kick to Lockeās arm, and then takes him over with an arm drag; he tries to take advantage with another armbar, but Locke still is not giving his arm upā¦ and is still trying to get to his feet. Locke succeeds with getting to his feet and throws a wild elbow that connects with Angelās jaw! Locke looks past Angelās shoulder to see Abraxes coming to provide backup. At the same time, Angel does glance over his shoulder to catch a glimpse of the oncoming monster.}
Vasco Dias: Angel spots him, and throws an elbow back! That staggered Abraxes momentarily, and he now fires forward with a beautiful hook to Lockeās jaw! Thatās payback for that elbow, I imagine.
Terri Morasco: I know that Gods & Monsters are worthy adversaries for The Powers That Be, but Angel is one man--
Vasco Dias: God.
Terri Morasco: Okay, whatever, the point is that Angel is not someone that you can underestimate! He just needs to hold on for a few moments, because Dean is against the wall of the cell and is already trying to get back into the ring. Heās climbing onto the apron--
{The elbow from Angel that caused Abraxes to stagger allows Abraxes to see Dean trying to get back into the ring, and Abraxes swings for a clothesline that sends Dean fleeing from the apron to avoid the hit! Locke and Angel are still letting their hands and feet fly away at each other, and just as it seems that Angel is about to connect with a chop against Lockeās wrist, Locke pulls his arm back and sends the other in to hit the cowpoke! Angel covers his eye, and turns around for Abraxes to hit a spear!}
Vasco Dias: I canāt believe that Locke would stoop so lowā¦
Terri Morasco: I doā¦ Have you not seen his matches?
{There is a surprising āLokiā chant breaking out amongst the crowd as they admire the Trickster. Marvel probably has something to do with that. Meanwhile, Dean has gotten back to the apron at the same time as Abraxes getting back to his feet; Dean springs to the top ropeā¦ Abraxes turns to face himā¦ Dean aims for a front dropkick, aiming to send Abraxes into his own partner! Abraxes steps to the side, and Dean lands flat on his back.}
Terri Morasco: This is not a good spot for Dean to be in.
Vasco Dias: Heās still trying to get up, but Gods & Monsters are there toā¦ well, theyāre there to help him, in a way.
{Abraxes and Locke drag Dean to his feet, and both of the challengers alternate strikes against the standing champion! Angel has rolled to the edge of the ring, and is clutching his stomach but is still using the ropes to get to his feet. Dean tries to counter one of Abraxesās strikes only for Locke to hit him in the back, and Abraxes scoops Dean up to put him onto his shoulder and takes him down for a running powerslam! At the same time, Angel has gotten to his feet but is still hanging onto the ropesā¦ Locke charges him and connects with a cactus clothesline! Both men topple over the top rope and stumble forward into the wall of the cell. Abraxes puts all of his weight over Dean in an attempt to coverā¦}
Vasco Dias: Thatās nearly three-hundred pounds just crushing Dean Harper, and Dean! One! Two! Dean kicks out! Abraxes seems a little surprisedā¦
Terri Morasco: How can you tell?
Vasco Dias: Okay, I guess heās not surprised!
Terri Morasco: Heās probably a little thrilled that the match is going to continue, and he has more time to inflict pain on Dean and Angel.
Vasco Dias: Speaking of Angel, he and Locke are both against the cell but Angel has a handful of Lockeās hairsā¦
Terri Morasco: Lockeās locks. Hehe.
Vasco Dias: Okay, Lockeās locks! Are you happy now?! Angel has a handful of it, and heās just smearing Lockeās face into it. You can see it doing the damage against Locke!
{Blood is trickling down Lockeās face as Angel continues smearing his face across the cell. Locke is grunting in pain as he tries to power his way free from Angelās grasp.}
{Inside of the ring, Abraxes sees what is happening, and wanders over; he leans over the top rope and grabs Angel by the hair. Angel struggles for a moment but drops down so Abraxesās neck connects with the top rope! Angel then lunges forward to grab Locke, and charges him into the steel post outside of the ring; Dean has gotten up and takes Abraxes down with a Russian Leg Sweep, but rolls through and connects with a flipping leg drop! Dean makes a cover over Abraxes, taking the time to hook the legā¦}
Vasco Dias: Abraxes kicks out at one! But letās focus on this: every time they try to blindside Angel, it just does not work in their favor. Angel is just too good at seeing everything thatās happening around him, and finding the next calculated attack; you see him focusing on Locke now, even going back to work on that arm by slamming it against that post! Angel is stretching Lockeās arm, and Locke just has not seen much offense against him. And he knows that his boy is going to be able to delay the monster, and hold his own against him inside. Thatās why you see him attacking without second-guessing anything!
Terri Morasco: There is no denying the ability that Angel has, and he has been rather dominant, but I do feel that deep downā¦ he does want to get his hands on Abraxes himself. Keep in mind that the only reason this match is happening is because Abraxes busted him open at Sacrifice!
{Following the cover attempt, Dean hits the ropes and comes back with a dropping dropkick into Abraxesās stomach! Abraxes rolls over and starts getting up anyway; Abraxes, with one hand on the ropes, gets ambushed from behind! Dean comes flying in with a double axe handle smash, but Abraxes flings him away!}
{Outside of the ring, Locke has given up his back to Angelā¦ Angel has him around the waist, wanting to connect with a German Suplex at the side of the cell, but Locke reaches down and tries to prevent it; Angel doesnāt let up, untilā¦}
Terri Morasco: Low Key! Angel did not see that coming, and that seemed to knock the wind out of him!
Vasco Dias: Now, now, thatās not a fair move! Had this been an ordinary match WITH RULES, he would be disqualified!
Terri Morasco: Thatās the key factor, though, this is a match that really has no rules! Locke didnāt even have to try and hide it, but he has a smile on his face from ear to ear knowing that Angel didnāt see it coming.
{Dean, unaware of what is happening outside of the ring, charges forward a second time and connects with another double axe handle smash against Abraxes! Abraxes flings him back a second time, but Dean is relentlessā¦ This time he charges forward and connects with a front dropkick to Abraxes skull! The attack causes Abraxes to fall to one knee as he tries to shake off the hit, but Dean is already up and is flying forearms in against Abraxes.}
{Locke wipes some of the blood away before grabbing Angel and running him into the cell wall this time! Locke starts smearing his face in.}
Locke: You like that?! You like that now?! Iām gonā make you pay, boy!
{Angel stirs up to his feet and drives an elbow to Lockeās jaw, which dazes him momentarily; not long enough, as Locke connects with a spinning back elbow! Locke whips Angel across into the steel steps, and Angel collides shoulder first into the steps.}
{Dean is still flying some forearms in against Abraxes, but with every following shot, the monster seems more and more unphased. Abraxes shoves Dean with all of his might forcing Dean to fall to the mat, but he rolls through and is back to his feet; he doesnāt have much time to react as Abraxes is already charging toward him! A stiff kick from Abraxes stops him in his tracks, but Abraxes catches it, and Dean counters with an enzuigiri! Dean tries to go for another coverā¦}
Vasco Dias: Whatās Locke doing? He sees that Abraxes is in trouble, but heās not trying to interveneā¦
{Locke holds up two fingers as if to signify that he knows that the match is not going to end just yet. And Abraxes kicks out at two! Locke pumps his fist in the air, as the camera catches him saying the words, āCalled it,ā just as Angel stands up; as soon as Angel is able to get to his feet, Locke closes in and connects with Fenrirās Howl! Angel clashes into the wall of the cell, and falls on his side, cringing; he looks at Locke with anger as he tries to recover, and Locke is already howling out at the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: Locke knew and trusted his partner was going to kick out. Thatās one thing that is hard to teach, but these two have mastered itā¦ they know and trust each other! They know that the other is going to be able to keep fighting, and they know when the other is going to need their help. Thatās one thing Iāve noticed with them teaming together, is that they will not intervene unless their partner absolutely needs them toā¦ itās like some weird game they have going. Theyāre not stopping the other from having their fun, you could say.
Vasco Dias: Itās true, but that same trust is there between The Powers That Be. Angel knows Dean! Dean knows Angel! They know when they need to get involvedā¦
Terri Morasco: Angel is looking a little worse for wear, after he looked strong against both Abraxes and Locke in the early-going.
Vasco Dias: But look at him! He doesnāt look like heās in painā¦ he just looks like heās wanting to become a shark, a predator, close in on that wound that Locke has suffered and bleed him dry! Angel is starting to stir, and Locke is trying to get into the ringā¦
{Dean stomps his foot at Locke to keep him at bay, but this is giving time for Abraxes to get back up. Abraxes stands behind Dean as Locke has him distracted and starts tilting his head back and forth; heās chattering his teeth together and as soon as Dean turns around, is met with a powerful clothesline! The impact causes Dean to bounce right back up to his feet, and Abraxes takes him back down with a second clothesline! And Dean, back up, but now Abraxes starts throwing various strikesā¦ chops, overhand strikes, elbows, and a stiff kick to battle Dean against the ropes! Abraxes sends him off, and collides with him in the middle with a shoulder block!}
{There is a smirk on Lockeās face as he kneels down, knowing that Abraxes has the advantage, and he starts searching under the ring for somethingā¦}Vasco Dias: Oh, now is not the time!
Terri Morasco: You have to imagine that he stored it down there before No Way Home started.
{Locke produces a bottle of Fireball Whiskey and holds it up to the crowd to get a pop from them! Locke pulls the top off and starts to take a drink.}
Vasco Dias: And this is why you donāt play with your opponents, and I thought that theyād have learned their lesson. Angel is up!
{Angel blindsides Locke, and Locke goes to spit the nasty beverage into his face as a mistā¦}
Vasco Dias: Angel dodges it, and Locke is looking to take a swing with that glass bottle, but Angel catches his wrist andā¦ yesā¦ yes, he gets the bottle away from him, but now Angel is using it!
Terri Morasco: It didnāt break!
Vasco Dias: Angel slammed that bottle against Lockeās wrist, and he may have broken the wrist! But the bottle is still intact, and you have to imagine that Angel knows he can use it as a weapon.
Terri Morasco: Thatās glass. Itās going a little far, donāt you think?
Vasco Dias: Weāve seen worse. Weāve seen a lot worse.
{Inside of the ring, Dean and Abraxes are both on their feet but Abraxes has the advantageā¦ Dean seems unable to fight back, but is instead doing everything he can to block the shots which is causing damage to his arms from the amount of force Abraxes has been able to produce.}
{The replay shows Angel slamming the bottle against Lockeās wrist, as Locke pulls his wrist away and clings to it and grimaces. Back to the live feed: Angel drives his knee into Lockeās skull before flinging him downā¦ Angel picks up the bottle and climbs onto the apron, and Abraxes comes forward not noticing the bottle in Angelās hands. Angel brings the bottle down onto Abraxesās skull and it shatters over his head!}
Terri Morasco: This is not looking good anymore for Gods & Monsters, but I am a little more concerned because now thereās broken glass everywhere!
Vasco Dias: They have no one to blame but themselves. Locke went to use it! Angel countered!
Terri Morasco: When youāre right, youāre right.
Vasco Dias: Damn right Iām right! Butā¦ I donāt get what it could take to knock Abraxes out; even after having a bottle shattered over his head, heās still standing but you can see that the bottle did do some damageā¦ blood is starting to drip from the top of his head, and I think weāre nearing the end. Angel is in the ring with his son, and you can see how theyāre working together nowā¦ double Irish-whip, and as Abraxes comes back, and a Genocide Kick from Angelā¦ Abraxes still upā¦ Angel actually looks shocked that Abraxes is still standing, but here comes Dean!
{Dean runs by Abraxes and springs off the ropes to catch him with UP IS DOWN! Both Angel and Dean make the cover, using their combined weight to keep Abraxes down.}
Vasco Dias: Do you see how well they work together? And now they are going to win this one with--
Terri Morasco: No! Abraxes throws them both off of him before the referee can even hit two!
Vasco Dias: There is no way!
{Abraxes is getting up, and Angel and Dean both begin firing with forearms to try and keep him groundedā¦ but itās not working. They send Abraxes off with another double Irish-whip, but this time go to take him down with a double clothesline!}
Terri Morasco: They could-- no! Abraxes connects with a double clothesline of his own!
{Locke is holding his wrist in a bit of pain as he starts to get into the ringā¦ Dean and Angel are back onto their own feet, but Angel is met with a headbutt from Abraxes, followed by a stiff kick that sends him back and keeling over. Dean tries to hit his own strike against Abraxes and succeeds! Meanwhileā¦}
Terri Morasco: Locke is up, and he sees it. He sees an opportunity!
Vasco Dias: No, no, no there! Not there!
Terri Morasco: DIRT ON MY BOOTS!
{Locke connected with Dirt On My Boots onto Angel into the shards of glass that still littered the ring! The shards can be seen sticking to Angelās skin, and clearly having cut him open; Angelās arms shake as he tries to push himself up, and Locke goes for the cover: One! ā¦ Two!}
Terri Morasco: Weāre going to see new champions tonight, butā¦ I am a little concerned for Angel! And! Dean makes the save!
{Dean kneels down beside his father and is checking on him, as Locke is trying to shake the damage off from himself; Abraxes had been battled into the corner but is starting to come toā¦ Angel tells Dean something, along the lines to focus on the match, and he looks up to see both members of Gods & Monsters starting to advance toward him; Dean springs with a calf kick against Abraxes that sends him back a few steps, and Dean is quick to his feet, delivering a spinning side kick to Locke! Abraxes charges from the back, and Dean sidesteps causing Abraxes to collide with Locke and both members of Gods & Monsters are outside of the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Donāt get too brash, Dean!
Terri Morasco: Dean wants to check on Angel, who just had glass shards cut into himā¦ but Angel is insisting that he focuses. And-- well, thatās what Dean is doing! Heās climbing the top rope!
Vasco Dias: Too much, Dean! Too much! Dial it back! Single out a target!
{Dean dives off the top rope and lands on both members of Gods & Monsters with a diving senton! The replay highlights the diving senton.}
Vasco Dias: Dean with no care for his own body! There is no way that they are leaving without their belts tonight, and I think heās sending that messageā¦
Terri Morasco: But look at Angelā¦ thatās something you have to admire about him, the amount of punishment he can take! He is getting up, and he is just wiping the blood away from his eyes so that he can see his targets clearly.
{Dean whilst laying out over the two members of Gods & Monsters starts digging under the ring for another object, warily, as he is trying to also regain his breath; Angel joins the three men on the outside and delivers stomps to both members of Gods & Monsters, whilst then reaching down to help Dean to his feet.}
Terri Morasco: Dean has something. Dean-- no, not again!
Vasco Dias: The handcuffs! You see, they always come with a plan.
{After Dean is to his feet, both members of The Powers That Be grab Locke and force him into the furthest corner away; Locke is shaking his head and tries to pull his arm down, but Angel holds his hand against the cage as Dean locks him there with the handcuffs! Locke is pulling in desperation to get free, but to no avail.}
Terri Morasco: This is how they won the ladder match last monthā¦
Vasco Dias: They won that by climbing the ladder! There are no rules, remember?!
Terri Morasco: Well, I will say that Locke doesnāt look to be as concerned or even as shocked as he was last month. But Dean and Angel are taking their attention back to Abraxes.
{Locke snaps his fingers as if to indicate he had been foiled again, but then raises a finger into the air as if an idea struck!}
{Angel and Dean lift Abraxes, and Angel is the first to deliver a hard kick to his stomach. Dean then grabs Abraxes and is digging his thumbs into the eye sockets as if to extract his own revenge against him! Abraxes groans, but despite this attack, still stands; Angel drives his knee into his midsection, and then Dean does the same; the father/son duo alternate knees to Abraxesā¦}
Vasco Dias: They are punishing Abraxes now.
Terri Morasco: But letās not ignore Locke. Whatās he doing?
Vasco Dias: It doesnāt matter, Locke is-- wait, a minuteā¦ where is Locke?
{There is sudden confusion as the handcuffs are missing, and so is Locke. Dean looks toward where they had left Locke, and then now he is confusedā¦ he pats Angelās shoulders and gestures to where they had left him, and no sign of him. Angel looks under the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Was no one paying attention to where Locke went?!
Terri Morasco: Angel is searching, and heās fuming that Locke had even gotten away.
{At the entrance to the cage is a member of security, and he starts whistling casually while unlocking the cellā¦}
Blue Shoes: This match isnāt done yet. What are you doing?
{The commotion got the attention of the Tag Team Champions as they rushed for the opening; they grabbed the security after the doors were opened as if to demand answers and they pulled back his hat and sunglasses ā¦ to revealā¦ }
Vasco Dias: Thatās not Lockeā¦
{The āLokiā chant breaks out amongst the crowd again as they roar loudly, as Locke finally does re-emerge and is climbing the top rope; Angel and Dean turn around just in time for Locke to come off with a cross body and take down both champions! Locke is to his feet and pumps another fist into the air, as the security guard nods his head as Locke reaches into his pockets and begins counting out a couple dollars for him. Locke also takes away the taser from the security guard. Blue Shoes doesnāt know what the hell is going on anymore -- Locke walks back into the cell, closing the door behind him, and starts stomping away on the champions, and slides Dean Harper in at the same time as Abraxes gets into the ring. Meanwhile, Angel is getting to his feet but Locke is there to catch him! He goes to handcuff him to the cell, but Angel takes the taser away and jabs it on Locke, and Locke falls down outside of the ring!}
Vasco Dias: Thatās what you get for bringing that into this!
Terri Morasco: Angel turned it around, again!
{Dean turns and is met with a stiff kick from Abraxes, and Abraxes quickly lifts Dean upā¦ he parades around the ring for a moment to demonstrate his power but is met with a Genocide Kick from Angel who has gotten back into the ring! Abraxes releases Dean, and then they complete Like Father Like Son before Dean makes the cover: One! Two! Three!}
Alison Valance: Your winners! And STILL! IWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! THE POWERS THAT BE!!!!!
{Locke is still jolting every so often outside of the ring, as the cell is being raised. Angel and Dean stand tall with their arms raised.}-------------------------------------
IRON MAIDENWinner receives a Women's World Championship Match at Night of the Immortals
Virginia Stepanov vs Amber Cooke vs Vivienne Rodgers vs Rowan vs Jess Reed vs Eternity.
-------------------------------------
Alison Valance: And now the main event of No Way home.. The Iron Maiden match!
Terri Morasco: The Iron Maiden match is a female exclusive match which takes place at the annual "Viewer's Choice" Pay-Per-View and earns the winner a guaranteed Womenās World Championship title shot at Night of the Immortals. It is contested inside a large, circular steel cage that surrounds the entire ring.
Vasco Dias: The chamber contains four "Maidens" which contain four of the six competitors in the match. The other two start the match inside the ring. A "Maiden" opens every five minutes to let another competitor into the match. The first competitor to score a pinfall or submission inside the ring wins, meaning that it is theoretically possible for the match to end before all of the competitors have officially entered the match.
{The lights in the arena start to flicker as the intro to āBitch Better Have My Moneyā hits the speakers. Smoke pours out onto the stage as Virginia Stepanov steps out. She walks to the head of the ramp, looking around for a moment before she shoots a high front kick into the air to show off and then makes a finger gun with three punctuated āshotsā towards the crowd ad the appropriate time in the song.
She struts down the ramp, mouth moving to sing along to her entrance as her head bobs along with the song. When she gets to the ring she jumps onto the apron, hanging onto the rope and leaning out towards the crowd, throwing a finger gun with another three shots before she steps through the ropes. She slips her coat off and hands it to the ref as she is locked in the pod.} Alison Valance: First down to the ring, standing at 5ā7āā weighing in at 150 poundsā¦ Virginia Stepanov!
{Cheers from the crowd}
Terri Morasco: So Virginia is one of the first to be locked in the pods. It has to be stressful knowing the match could end without even entering the ring.
Vasco Dias: Iām sure sheāll make a splash regardless.
{The guitars of "The World Is Yours" start up and the arena is bathed in lights for a minute before Amber comes stalking as the first main riff kicks in, walking at medium pace and pausing in the middle of the ramp, taking in the surroundings before she circles the ring with the occasional slam of the mat in time with the drums before hopping the ring apron and actually hyping the crowd up some and then jumping over the top rope to spin the centre of the ring and the find a corner as she disrobes and is locked in the pod.} Alison Valance: standing at 5ā6āā and weighing in at 140 poundsā¦ Amber Cooke!
{Crowd cheers} Terri Morasco: Amber seems to be a little less out there then she has been in the past.
Vasco Dias: But still a good fighter.
{Lights out. The thrumming opening of āTrip the Darknessā by Lacuna Coil pulses through the arena, matched by a few flashing sparks of dark red light throughout the building. Red lights shine down and around the entranceway, still accompanied by sporadic flashing throughout the arena, illuminating the sihlouette of Rowan MacDonnough standing at the top of the ramp, a pair of chains hanging from her wrists. She breathes heavily, shoulders heaving as her head hangs down. As the opening continues, red smoke floods down the ramp as Rowan occasionally twitches spasmodically in rhythm with the music...}"Come to me, come to me... I am waiting for you. Come to me... I can't wait..."
{As the song roars to life, Rowan's head snaps upwards, glaring around at the audience as her golden eyes glint in the smoke and the red light. The stage and ramp are lit by swirling red light, but everything else remains dark. She lopes forward, unconsciously rolling her wrists as her eyes bore a hole in the air before her. The smoke seems to follow her down the ramp as she walks. She drops the chains as she reaches ringside, climbing up the ropes and perching over the ring on the top corner, standing slowly as she continues to twitch and spasm in time with the music.}"Follow me, follow me! As I trip the Darkness... one more time!"
{She leaps into the ring, landing with a roll in the center of the ring and pulling into a feral crouch. She stands, raising her arms as though conducting a savage chorus, posing one last time...}"Follow me, follow me... I awake from madness.... JUST IN TIME!"
{She slowly, reluctantly backs towards a corner, eyes constantly moving as she settles in to the pod.} Alison Valance: Standing at 5ā10 and weighing in at 145 poundsā¦ Hall of Famer ā¦ Rowan MacDonnough!
{Crowd boos}
Terri Morasco: Rowan coming out always freaks me out.
Vasco Dias: She freaks all of us out.
{ The lights in the arena go out as "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and the crowd go nuts. Strobe lighting begins to flash in various colours around the arena as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain to a standing ovation. She smile and waves to the fans before steadying herself for a gentle sprint to the ring, slapping the hands of fans as she goes much to their delight. Reaching the ring steps she climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle and continues to wave the crowd, pumping them up even more before being locked in the pod.} Alison Valance: standing at 5ā7āā and weighing in at 125 poundsā¦ Hall of Famerā¦ Jess Reed!
{Crowd mostly cheers but a little mixed.} Terri Morasco: Jess seems to be the last one locked inside a podā¦ That leave the two women in the center...
Vasco Dias: Well, hopefully next of kin have been informed.
{The lights go out completely.
Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaa...
The soft chilling female laughter changes the atmosphere in the arena completely before the soft opening keys lead a procession of bright white starlights to twinkle in time with them. As more time passes, drums march alongside the keys. After a short while, the heavier instruments take over in leading the procession. Over a minute passes before the lyrics to āDeath Incarnateā by Eleine begin to herald her arrival. The lights shift, as the stars are extinguished, replaced by sombre blue strobe lights, which provide just enough illumination for us to see the purple coloured smoke slowly gathering to cloud the entranceway.
Eternity emerges from within the cloud of colourful smoke. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a white hat and veil over her face. Her head bowed, in remembrance of all those that have fallen before her as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp.
She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled white hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it.
She then skips to the middle of the ring and falls to her knees, keeping her head bowed for a moment and her eyes closed. she tilts her head back and slowly opens her eyes to the heavens. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.} Alison Valance: Standing at 5ā9āā and weighing in at 139 poundsā¦ Hall of Famerā¦ Eternity!
{Crowd has a mixed reaction.} Terri Morasco: I am not liking the idea of her being the one in the ring right now.
Vasco Dias: Itās main event. Someone is going to be bloodied.
{The lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp as the sounds of rain and thunder hits. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the opening notes of Games by Tessa Violet and the lovelytheband plays.}
I donāt want a piece of that
cause I know thereās no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
but you can make a toy of me and Iāll agree that
maybe I just couldnāt see, couldnāt see that
there aināt nothing wrong with us at all
{Vivienne appears walking on from backstage. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk. She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before Vivienne settles into her corner.} Alison Valance: Standing at 5ā7āā and weighing in at 140 poundsā¦ Vivienne Rodgers.
{Crowd cheers.} Terri Morasco: Vivienne did say she was going to do everything possible to keep Eternity or Rowan from winning.
Vasco Dias: Looks like she will have to.
{ The camera pans over each of the pods. Jess is sitting and meditating, Amber is leaning up watching, Virginia has her arms crosses watching, Rowan is pacing back and forth. The bell rings, Vivienne goes for a german suplex hitting Eternity against the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Vivienne going for a strong opening here.
Vasco Dias: It wonāt be enough.
{ Eternity rolls with it and hits Vivienne with a The Blood Godās Wrath. Eternity follows this up with The Y-Incision. Vivienne rolls out of it and hits Eternity with a powerbimb.}Terri Morasco: She took a beating there but might have a chance to get back on her feet.
{The chime sounds for a pod to open, the lights on each of them seem to light up before landing on Rowan.} Vasco Dias: Thatās not looking good.
{Vivienne hits Eternity with a Slumber Party before turning to look at Rowan coming out of the pod. Eternity pops up and hits Viv with a The Last Rites and slamming Vivienne down to the mat. Going for the pin.

2
3!}
Alison Valance: And your third time Iron Maidenā¦ Eternity!
{The crowd has a mixed reaction as Eternity lets go of Vivienne. Before the winner can make another move Rowan hits the ref with a BALORāS GAZE.}
Terri Morasco: I donāt like that.
Vasco Dias: Now the fun begins.
{Jess stands up and seems to be seething as Rowan picks Vivienne up by the hair and hits her with a snap neck across the top rope before dropping Vivienne to the ground. Amber is hitting the pod and yelling. Virginia is kicking a crack into the glass. Rowan kicks Viv in the ribs a couple of times while maintaining eye contact with Eternity.}
Terri Morasco: What is Rowan doing?!
Vasco Dias: Whatever she wants.
{Rowan keeps kicking Vivienne until a round of the outside cage catches both Eternity and Rowanās attention.}
Terri Morasco: Is That--?
Vasco Dias: Oh for fuckās sakeā¦
{Fiona McFly managed to break the lock off the cage as she head in with a tire iron. Rowanās eyes seem to smirk as the lights go out and then come back on. Jess, Eternity and Rowan are gone. Virginia has broken through her pod and broke Amberās open as well. Fiona stands there with a tire iron breathing heavily while Virginia and Amber collect Vivienne.}
Fiona McFly: JESS REED!
{Camera cuts to IWF graphic.} 
Well howdy there pardner.
