HOUR ONE
-------------------------------------
{ The show opener for Friday Night Sacrifice plays to the theme of Born for One Thing by Gojira showing clips of all the current champions as well as some of the biggest stars in IWF currently. After the open plays we head to the studio where Laura Howlett stands with Keybo Shabaz. }
Laura Howlett: Welcome to Friday Night Sacrifice! I am your host, the insatiable Laura Howlett! And besides me is an eye sore that I am sorry you and I both have to look at!
Keybo Shabaz: You can call me Keybo Shabaz.
Laura Howlett: I’d really rather not, thank you. We have a huge show for you this week as Heir to the Throne continues!
Keybo Shabaz: We’ve got Pax in action, Steve against Steve, James Gilmore taking ont he brother of his best friend!
Laura Howlett: Not to mention a corpse resurrected from the dead in action as well as Abigail! If it wasn’t for the smell coming off Keybo Shabaz, I’d be really excited to call the action tonight!
Keybo Shabaz: I don’t smell.
Laura Howlett: How would you know?
Keybo Shabaz: You’re just trying to get me to smell myself on live television.
Laura Howlett: Or I’m pointing out the fact that everyone on the other side of the camera is wearing a mask!
Keybo Shabaz: I thought…
{ Keybo hesitates to take a whiff. }
Laura Howlett: Are you really going to smell yourself on live television!? Have some dignity Keybo! Now let’s get into our first match of the evening. Shelly Diamond, back from the dead taking on someone I wish a pandemic would take out, Domi Natrix.
Keybo Shabaz: Wait, so were you kidding?
Laura Howlett: Let’s head to the ring!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Shelly Diamond vs Domi Natrix
-------------------------------------
{ We head to the ring side area where Domi is already waiting in the ring. The lights in the arena dim to a dull grey as smoke emits from the ramp way. Envy by Ice Nine Kills hits the pa as the lights in the arena turn bright white. As the song really kicks in the lights die down to a normal level to reveal Shelly Diamond standing on the ramp posing like her ex husband with her arms outstretched. She throws her arms down as pyro erupts behind her before strutting her way toward the ring to the beat of the music. Shelly walks up the steps then climbs up the outside ropes before throwing her arms out again as the lights in the arena turn up to a blinding level. When the lights return to normal she is now standing in the center of the ring, ready and waiting. }
Laura Howlett: So Keybo, hit me with your best resurrection theory.
Keybo Shabaz: How do you mean?
Laura Howlett: We’ve got a literal dead person about to wrestle, tell me how she’s back.
Keybo Shabaz: I think she’s just been laying low.
Laura Howlett: I’m going to start calling you the conversation killer, Jesus!
{ The match kicked off with Shelly dropping behind a running Domi and grabbing her with a dumping snap dragon suplex. Domi was able to stand but on wobbly legs and Shelly took advantage with a leaping knee strike. Shelly then unloaded with palm strikes to the chest and head area of Domi. Natrix tried to break away from the assault but Shelly grabbed her with a snapmare and then a roll over neckbreaker. Shelly peeled Domi up off the mat and hit Natric with a hip toss then a kick to the back of the head. Shelly, looking to make a point, pulled Domi up to her feet again and hit her with a Diamond Cutter! Domi is basically out of it at this point in the match but Shelly is feeling amped up from the crowd. So Shelly pulls Domi up and over her shoulders and connects with the TFD! Shelly then goes right for From the Flames causing a submission as Domi slaps the mat with what little consciousness she has left giving Shelly the victory at just over three minutes into the match up. }
Laura Howlett: I think we all know Domi didn’t stand a chance here tonight but damn was that an impressive return by Shelly!
Keybo Shabaz: Shelly sent a very clear message to Tara Fenix there, she’s back and she’s better than ever.
Laura Howlett: That may be true but Tara Fenix has been a force of nature since her own return, I don’t think a resounding victory over a Domi Natrix is going to send much of a message.
Keybo Shabaz: Perhaps but I would have to assume Tara was keeping a close eye on that match.
Laura Howlett: Oh, I’m sure and I’m also sure she’s working on counters to every single thing she saw Shelly do tonight. Now let’s get ready for our next match. Pax Stormcrow is looking to earn some points in the Heir to the Throne!
Keybo Shabaz: But will Pax be able to overcome, Warren Suffering!?
Laura Howlett: Did you really just ask that?
Keybo Shabaz: I’m hyping the match up.
Laura Howlett: That’s not how you hype this match. This is how you hype this match up. Stay tuned as Pax Stormcrow is about to physically dissect his opponent, Warren Suffering!
Keybo Shabaz: Not bad, a little insulting to Warren but not bad.
Laura Howlett: A little insulting to Warren!? Who the hell cares what he thinks!?
Keybo Shabaz: We should care about the morale of our performers.
Laura Howlett: Oh sod off! Let’s go to the match!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
HTTT Points are on the line for Pax
Warren Suffering vs Pax Stormcrow
-------------------------------------
{ Warren Suffering is already waiting in the ring. The lights in the arena dim, and there is the sound of a powerup collected in an old video game system. At the sound, the crowd leap to their feet with cheers A beat is laid out, filling the arena with the sounds of a Midi file. The lights pulse in time with the music. As they flash as the beat trembles, an explosion of sparks rocks the entrance stage. Pax walks out onto the stage, looking around as the crowd bursts into cheers. He gives a smirk as the chanting on Suplex by A Tribe Called Red kicks in.
He stands at the top of the ramp, lifting his right fist into the air with his head down, bobbing his hooded head along with the music before marching down to the ring. He slides into the ring and jumps onto the second turnbuckle, throwing his hood off and hyping up the crowd with yells before slipping his coat off and letting it fall to the ground. }
Laura Howlett: Everyone knows that Pax Stormcrow is a olympic level athlete but did you also know he is sore need of my guidance and leadership?
Keybo Shabaz: You waited one full match to start pedaling your snake oil. I’m impressed.
Laura Howlett: Snake oil!? My client, Tytus Rost has some heir to throne points that prove what I’m selling is very real and very valuable!
Keybo Shabaz: Settle down, we have a match to call.
Laura Howlett: Are you man splaining to me!?
Keybo Shabaz: Wh-what? No!
Laura Howlett: And now you’re going to tell me why I’m wrong about you man splaining!?
Keybo Shabaz: I… I’m sorry if I offended you.
Laura Howlett: You should be. Now, let’s watch as someone I may have to talk to after the show physically dominates Warren Suffering.
{ We started things off with Warren wanting to tie up but Pax isn’t having it as he quickly transitions from the tie up to a full nelson to a full nelson slam on Suffering! Warren tries to get up but Pax is on him with a pump handle backbreaker! Warren is in pain very early on as Pax deadlifts Warren off of the mat with a nasty looking bridging German suplex. Pax very nearly gets the three count right there but Warren is able to get a hand under the ropes to break the hold. Pax releases and gets back to his feet as Warren is attempting to stand again. Pax doesn’t give Warren a chance to recover and comes right in with Chaos Theory! Pax pulls Warren back up to his feet again this time for a Saito suplex! Warren is absolutely out of it now as Pax puts Suffering into the Broken Wing! Warren is out cold and the referee calls the match in Pax’s favor at the two minute and fifty two second mark! }
Laura Howlett: Pax Stormcrow with the submission victory and the extra points in the Heir to the Throne!
Keybo Shabaz: Impressive win for the former olympic hopeful.
Laura Howlett: Just imagine, his ability with my leadership? Pax would be unstoppable.
Keybo Shabaz: While I don’t disagree with you, well, I do, I think Pax is doing just fine without you.
Laura Howlett: Yes but you’re a world famous idiot so what the hell do you know!? Anyway, I’m being told we are about to hear from the number one contender to Warren Kane’s World Championship?
Keybo Shabaz: I’m very curious about who this is and why they think they can jump the line of Heir to the Throne.?
Laura Howlett: We are about to find out!
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Number one contender
-------------------------------------
{The cameras come back from break to Dean standing in the ring as his music dies down. }
Dean Harper: Some people have been asking me what are my plans after winning the death cage--
{Crowd boos at the memory of how that match against Wraith went. }
Dean Harper: And Well, you'll be surprised who the number one contender is--
Crowd: ULF! ULF! ULF! ULF!
Dean Harper: Shut the fuck up. I earned myself a World title shot in the lumberjack match where Warren beat Gilmore. I figured now is as good a time as any--
Crowd: ULF! ULF! ULF! ULF!
Dean Harper: Listen, here you morons--
{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 timekeeper’s 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!
Dean Harper: You done? Get the fuck out of this ring, Puppy. You don't want this.
{Ulf steps toward Dean, they are standing practically nose to nose, staring each other down. The crowd is going crazy. Ulf smiles first and takes a few steps back, putting his hands up like it was a joke. The crowd still chants Ulf's name as he goes to leave the ring. }
Dean Harper: Yeah, walk away. Be a pity for another one of your future heathen army to go missing.
{Ulf stops. Dean laughs. }
Dean Harper: As I was saying, I have the earned number one--
{Ulf THOR PUNCHES Dean and knocks him to the ground. Ulf breathing over Dean anger in his eyes. }
Crowd: ULF! ULF! ULF!
Laura Howlett: Very, very interesting turn of events!
Keybo Shabz: Dean Harper and Ulf Hednir stacking their claims at a shot at the Champion!
Laura Howlett: Only time will tell how that’s going to work out but if you were wondering could James Gilmore beat the brother of his best friend? The wait is over!
Keybo Shabaz: I’m very excited for this next match. We’ve mostly only seen Chris Diamond in tag team competition while James has been in singles most of his career.
Laura Howlett: It’ll be an interesting match up. Interesting in the way it’s interesting to watch a hog turn into sausage.
Keybo Shabaz: Oh stop.
Laura Howlett: What!? I just want to see Chris Diamond eviscerate this self righteous son of a bitch! Is that so bad!?
Keybo Shabaz: YES!
Laura Howlett: Well too bad! I want to see it and one of these days someone is bound to do it. Hopefully today is that day!
-------------------------------------
HEIR TO THE THRONE
SINGLES MATCH
James Gilmore vs Chris Diamond
-------------------------------------
{ An instrumental with hook version of "Shell Shocked" by Juicy J, featuring Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign, begins to play, and a video package begins to play stock footage of waves crashing, followed by bolts of cloud-to-cloud lightning. }
"Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ As jets of water shoot out from all directions, we tsee James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, posing along to the hip-hop tune, before high-fiving the crowd and walking down to the ring. }
"(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we ride together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(This family can bear any weather)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ Once inside the ring, the Islander alum points heavenward, taking in the moments as he waits for his opponent. }
{ The lights in the arena begin to strobe red as the opening chords of Nero Frote begin to play. The stage erupts in pyro as the song really kicks into gear and Chris Diamond comes strutting out with a barbed wire wrapped baseball over his shoulder. Chris smirks at the fans before heading down to the ring in lock step with the song. Chris rolls in under the bottom rope and stands up while swinging his bat. Chris lines up his shot and swings holding his hand over his eyes like he’s watching a head fly before casually leaning back onto a set of turnbuckles. }
Laura Howlett: Have I mentioned-
Keybo Shabaz: Yes!
Laura Howlett: You don’t even know what I was going to say!?
Keybo Shabaz: Something about hating James Gilmore. We get it.
Laura Howlett: I was actually going to say something about how much I like Chris Diamond.
Keybo Shabaz: Oh… Carry on.
Laura Howlett: Because of how much he hates James Gilmore too!
Keybo Shabaz: Oh for the love of, let’s go to the match!
{ The match kicked off with James squaring up with Chris in the middle of the ring. James raised his fists like he’s ready for a brawl but instead of fighting, Chris put his hands behind his back, leaned over and puffed out his chin offering James a free shot. James looked around at the crowd, cracked a grin then hit Chris directly on the chin with a standing dropkick! Diamond rolled head over heels and onto his knees as James came running in with another dropkick on the kneeling Diamond! Gilmore quickly grabbed Chris and pulled him up to his feet and starts to unload knee strikes to the midsection of Chris. James connects with a spinning heel kick to the gut of Diamond and went to hit him with a fisherman suplex but Diamond jammed his thumb in the one good eye of Gilmore! James dropped the big man who quickly hit a knee smash to the midsection of Gilmore then Irish whipped the Texas alumni into the corner! Chris charged in with a big knee smash in the corner then walked Gilmore out with a sidewalk slam! Diamond made a cover attempt off that but James was able to kick out. Diamond pulled Gilmore up to his feet but James hit a throat thrust and grabbed Chris for a big time scoop slam! Gilmore ran straight to the ropes and bounced off, Chris started to stand and James crashed into him with a huge Spear! James went right into the mount and began to reign down rights and lefts on Chris! James finally gets off Diamond at the behest of the referee. James goes to grab Chris but Diamond hits his own throat thrust. Diamond pulls himself up and grabs James with a short arm clothesline. Diamond hits the ropes now as James starts to stand and catches him with a running big boot. Diamond then pulls James up into a double underhook power bomb for a pin fall attempt but it’s only for two. Chris pulls James to his feet again and heaves him toward the ropes. James bounces off and ducks the clothesline attempt. Gilmore spins on his heels and leaps into the hair grabbing Diamond with the Shellshocker! Gilmore goes for a cover attempt here but it’s only for two. James heads out to the apron as Chris is slow to make his way to his feet. James lines up his shot then slings himself back into the ring with the Power Wave on Chris Diamond! James makes another cover, hooking both feet but it’s still only for two! James takes a hold of Chris and pulls him up to his feet, James is looking for the Wipeout but Chris stuffs it and instead hits Gilmore with Hang’em High! Gilmore goes to nip back up to his feet but Diamond scoops him right up for Sudden Impact! Diamond makes the cover and James kicks out a split second too late as Diamond picks up the shocking victory at nine minutes and thirty four seconds!!! }
Laura Howlett: Chris Diamond just stuffed that miserable puke stain!!!
Keybo Shabaz: Can you calm down??
Laura Howlett: NO! I will never not celebrate James Gilmore getting put in his goddamn place!
Keybo Shabaz: I highly doubt James Gilmore is going to take a single loss in the Heir to the Throne that personally that he changes his outlook on life and starts living the way you wish he would.
Laura Howlett: Well he goddamn should! Chris Diamond is a machine and shows you why raw ability will always out shine an inept loser!
Keybo Shabaz: That doesn’t even make sense.
Laura Howlett: It wouldn’t to you. Now! Let’s get to something I’m also very excited to see. Abigail stepping into the ring with Diamond Steele!
Keybo Shabaz: Abigail is looking to continue her climb back to a title shot, will Diamond Steele derail that goal?
Laura Howlett: I doubt it! But let’s find out!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Abigail vs Diamond Steele
-------------------------------------
{ Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin. }
{ The lights in the arena dim at the opening drums and guitar. Abigail walks alone out under a soft white spotlight to a mixed reaction. The lights flash sand yellow and soft orange in time with the rhythm. The lyrics of ‘Hallelujah (I’m Not Dead)’ by Citizen Soldier accompany her walk down the ramp. She clenches her jaw before pausing in the middle of the ramp, and looking heavenward. She flings her arms out either side of her offering herself up to a Lord she knew to be no longer there.
When there was no salvation, she cracks her neck slightly and continues her journey down the ramp under her own power. She walked up the steps, not to heaven, but into the ring. Ready to defend her position in life, as fiercely as she once defended her faith. Under the spotlight, in the middle of the ring, she drops to her knees and lets out a rebellious yell heavenward as she throws her head back. She breathes heavily, as she focuses on the challenge ahead. The music slowly fades and the lights return to normal. }
Laura Howlett: How do you think Diamond Steele matches up with Abigail?
Keybo Shabaz: I think it could be a bit of an uphill battle for Diamond. Abigail is a former champion and an incredibly dominant one at that.
Laura Howlett: I think it’ll be amazing if Diamond lasts five minutes in there with Abigail.
Keybo Shabaz: That isn’t as insulting as I would have suspected.
Laura Howlett: I’m feeling nice today.
{ The match kicked off with Diamond looking to tie it up with Abigail but Abigail instead steps in with an elbow smash. Diamond stumbles back and Abigail rushes in with a swinging neckbreaker! Abigail pulls Diamond right back up to her feet and unleashes some knee strikes before lifting Steele up with a double underhook backbreaker! Abigail goes straight in for a cover but Diamond is able to kick out. Abigail pulls Steele up to her feet but Diamond fires off a spinning heel kick and then hits the ropes for a springboard cross body block! Diamond nips right back up as Abigail stands and Steele grabs her for a tornado ddt! Diamond is feeling the momentum and as Abigail tries to stand again, Diamond is there with a Float Over DDT and a cover! Abigail is able to kick out at two. Diamond pulls the former champion up and Abigail leaps up with a Faitherbreaker! Abigail covers Diamond but it’s only a two count. Abigail pulls Diamond up off the mat and then hoists her into the air for a stalling vertical suplex. Abigail holds Diamond up for a full ten count before dropping her back down to the earth. Abigail goes for Living. Dead. Girl. off the vertical suplex but Steele manages to get to the ropes to break the hold. Abigail pulls Diamond up but Steele hits a martial arts kick and quickly grabs the former champion with a brainbuster! Diamond then goes for an Ankle Lock but Abigail is able to get under herself and send Steele into the corner. Abigail is up and connects with Little Light O’Mine in the corner! Abigail rips Diamond out of the corner and connects with Godfall! Abigail covers Diamond Steele and it’s nearly a three count but Diamond is able to get the shoulder up. Abigail pulls Diamond back up to her feet. Diamond connects with a thrust kick to the midsection of the former champion and then a Pele kick! Diamond nips up and comes in with a Float Over Neckbreaker! Diamond makes the cover but it’s only for two! Diamond pulls Abigail up and looks for a Diamond Cutter! Abigail pushes her off and grabs Diamond with BLIND FAITH! Abigail makes the cover,hooking both legs and gets the three count for the victory at eight minutes and fifty six seconds! }
Keybo Shabaz: Diamond Steele is looking better than ever even in defeat. Abigail is a tough competitor but Diamond held her own.
Laura Howlett: I suppose so. Look, I’m not one to bury someone.
Keybo Shabaz: You aren’t?
Laura Howlett: So I won’t! Which was the rest of that sentence. Now, next up we’ve got the other half of Violent Tendencies stepping into the ring with the herpes disease made flesh, Steve Awesome.
Keybo Shabaz: Really?
Laura Howlett: It’s a compliment. He never, ever goes away no matter what you do.
Keybo Shabaz: Sure. Let’s throw it to our commentators, Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias!
-------------------------------------
HEIR TO THE THRONE
SINGLES MATCH
Steve Awesome vs Stephen Terrella
-------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Thank you, as always, Laura for the excellent insight. Keybo, I guess thanks for being there? Honestly, the show would probably be better without you... but someone has to play the less interesting, way less cool Robin to Laura's stellar Batman. You do, I guess.
Terri Morasco: You and Laura are both horrible to that man! He's a good guy.
Vasco Dias: You would think so.
Terri Morasco: Moving on, we have another match in Heir To The Throne on deck. Steve Awesome comes in looking to put some points on the board against Stephen Terrella, who currently sits tied for second with five. Who do you have, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Terrella, all day, every day against Awesome.
{ 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. }
Vasco Dias: For once I don't mind seeing this moron walk out, Morasco. You want to know why?
Terri Morasco: Against my better judgment, I'll humor you- why, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Because, with any luck, Terrella will end him for good... and it'll be the last time I have to see this idiot walk out here! I can hope, anyway.
Terri Morasco: I shouldn't have asked.
{ The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens and purple laser lights are cast upon the entry way. "Forfeit" begins to blare before Terrella makes his entrance alongside Portia thirteen seconds into the song. They take a few steps before stopping to stand side-by-side on the stage, Terrella on the left and Portia on the right. She places her left hand on his right shoulder and runs her right hand down his chest and abdomen as he lowers his glasses down the bridge of his nose before turning for a kiss. }
{ Terrella re-positions his sunglasses and begins a slow walk toward the ring arm-in-arm with Portia. Fifty seconds into the song they reach the bottom of the stairs where they release arms. Terrella removes his sunglasses as the song picks up in intensity, surveying the arena for a few seconds with an intense stare and menacing scowl before handing his glasses to Portia and charging up the stairs and into the ring. }
Terri Morasco: Terrella may be the strongest guy on the roster, as you can plainly see by looking at him; but I believe in Steve Awesome, and his ability to pull out a win here. He's a little unorthodox, but he's proven resourceful in the past. I think he'll use his resourcefulness and his athleticism to his advantage tonight.
Vasco Dias: Do you enjoy looking like a complete fool on air, Morasco? That's like hitching your wagon to the Royals to win the World Series this year. Not going to happen.
{ Awesome and Terrella have a stare down in the middle of the ring. Steve strikes first as Terrella jaws at him, slicing him across the chest with a blistering shot. Steve turns and shouts "Woooo!" along with the crowd as he struts. Unfortunately for Awesome, Terrella barely flinches. Steve turns back and is caught with a left hand to the jaw, which drops Awesome. Terrella aggressively pulls him up off the canvas and delivers a hard headbutt. Terrella positions Awesome's arm between Steve's legs, planting him with a pumphandle slam. Terrella kicks Awesome square in the ribs, sending him reeling toward the ropes. There, Terrella drapes Awesome's throat over the middle ropes and puts a knee on the back of his neck, choking him for the length of the official's count. }
{ Stephen rips Awesome up into a bearhug. He wrenches down on Steve's lower back with everything he has, and flings his body side-to-side. Awesome tries to break the hold initially by reaching back for Terrella's hands, but the King is too strong. Awesome changes gears, hitting Terrella once with a bell clap to the ears. Terrella tries to shake it off, but Awesome gives him another bell clap. The King keeps his grip, but he's forced to lower Steve to a standing position. A third bell clap from Awesome sees him freed from the King's clutches! Steve steps back and delivers his patented thigh-slapper superkick to Terrella's jaw, sending a wad of spit flying from the King's mouth. Awesome spins with everything he has, connecting with a discus clothesline that takes Terrella off his feet! Steve goes into a cover... One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella powers out, pressing Steve off him! }
{ Steve seems a little stunned by the power, but quickly moves in and delivers a few stomps to Terrella. Steve steps back, turns, and delivers a beautiful standing moonsault onto Terrella. Steve goes into another cover! The official slides into position, and his hand goes down... One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella shoves Awesome off one more time to Portia's relief on the outside! This causes Steve to shift gears, attempting to hit the ropes for some type of running maneuver; but Portia reaches in and grabs Steve's leg behind the official's back before the move can ever materialize. Steve turns to Portia from in the ring, shouting "Suck it!" as he delivers a crotch chop in her direction in unison with the crowd! }
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome with a little dig at Portia there after her blatant interference! The crowd loved it, and I'd have to say I did too!
Vasco Dias: It was classless! Portia is a lady, and she doesn't deserve that type of treatment from that... that... that degenerate!
Terri Morasco: Steve needs to watch out for Terrella, though! The King is up from behind, and he just clobbered Awesome in the back with an ugly clothesline!... Awesome is dazed... and Terrella is hoisting him up over his head... what is he thinking here!?
Vasco Dias: Whatever it is, I don't think Awesome is going to enjoy it....
Terri Morasco: Mother of---!!! The power!!! Terrella just launched Steve Awesome about four rows deep into the crowd as our audience scattered!!! That right there might be it for Steve for the night! He hit hard into those chairs, and on that concrete floor!
Vasco Dias: It looks like a car crash just took place in the front row! Awesome's broken body is laying among the debri!
{ The official forces Terrella back, holding off the count as Steve lays motionless on the floor. Steve's arm starts to twitch as the official begins to exercise his ten count. One!... Two!... Three!... Awesome rolls over and starts to crawl for the barricade!... Four!... Five!!... Steve uses the barricade in an effort to pull himself up, but he stumbles!... Six!... Seven!... Somehow, Awesome finds a bit of wind and wills himself over the barrier!... Eight!... Steve drops to a knee, but then stands on spaghetti legs, but swinging his fists wildly on the floor at Terrella! Terrella starts to move for Steve, but concerned for Awesome, the official tries to hold Terrella back. Steve Awesome takes a step toward the ring with his fists up, then flops flat on his face on the floor. }
{ As the referee tries to back the ultra-agressive Terrella off, Portia senses an opening to add a little injury and insult by stepping on Awesome's back in her heels. She turns to Steve, first feigning surprise by placing her hand to her mouth, then mockingly saying, "Sorry, I didn't see you there, loser." Terrella shoves the referee aside at this juncture and goes to the floor. He pulls Steve up by the hair and rams him face-first into the steel ring post with a head of steam. Terrella continues the assault, snatching Awesome up and dropping him throat-first over the railing. }
{ Steve gasps for air as Terrella starts to tear apart the steel stairs. He flips the top half out of his way, and drags the bottom half out away from the ring. The King turns his attention back to Awesome, scooping him up and driving him back first onto the steel ring stairs with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Steve's body recoils, but Terrella doesn't relent. He rips Steve off the stairs, violently picking him up, spinning twice, and trying to drive him through the stairs with a spinebuster! }
Vasco Dias: Terrella is relentless here tonight! He said he was going to make an example out of Steve Awesome, and I hope everyone in the back is watching.
Terri Morasco: Steve has taken a lot of damage to his back. He had that awkward landing on that brutal landing in the crowd, and now Terrella has just punished him with those power moves on those steel stairs. You've got to believe this is all a set up for the Iron Throne submission hold Terrella utilizes, and to try to get the ten points for the submission victory...
{ Terrella rolls Awesome into the ring to prevent the count out. Terrella follows him in, stalking Awesome as Steve tries to crawl away for some separation. Terrella stands over him, hooking his fingers in Awesome's mouth and delivering some savage crossface style punches to Awesome's face. The King stops, picking Awesome up and lifting him for a vertical suplex. Terrella takes a few steps toward the ropes with Awesome in the air, dropping the small of his back across the top turnbuckle. Steve falls to the apron, and rolls to the floor. }
{ The referee again tries to urge Terrella to keep the action in the ring. Portia cheers Terrella on, and the rest of the building drowns the couple in boos. Steve crawls so his head is under the ring. The boos of the audience start to transition into an "AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!" chant. Terrella flips off the crowd, then moves to go back on the attack. Steve pulls a fire extinguisher from beneath the ring, however, and sprays Terrella directly in the face, blinding the King! }
{ Awesome stands, clutching his back, and brings the foreign object into the ring. He tosses the extinguisher to Terrella in an odd bit of strategy, and the King somehow manages to intercept it before it hits his face. Awesome steps back, and with a hard slap of the thigh delivers a thigh-slapper superkick to the fire extinguisher, knocking it back into Terrella's face to Portia's dismay! Awesome stumbles for the ropes, clutching his lower back. He slowly makes the long climb to the top, measuring the distance, and then leaping off and delivering an elbow into the chest of Terrella! Steve hooks a leg for a cover... One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella kicks out, but just before the three, and with far less authority than earlier in the night. }
{ Both men lay on the canvas; Terrella now gasping for breath, and Awesome heavily favoring his back. The crowd rallies Steve to his feet at the seven mark of the referee's standing ten count. Terrella is not far behind, but he walks into a dropkick from Steve. Terrella crashes to the canvas. Steve staggers back, continuing to nurse his back, and charges at Terrella, delivering a punt kick into the big man's ribs. Awesome goes for another cover, grapevining Terrella's leg tightly, trying to end it. The official slides to the canvas and starts slapping his hand to the mat... One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella somehow, by an eyelash, escapes the pin! }
{ Portia yells at Steve from ringside, telling him how pathetic he is. She turns and starts jawing with a young Steve Awesome fan at ringside. Steve slides out of the ring behind her, unbeknownst to her. He takes a cup of Mountain Dew from a fan and takes a big drink. He taps Portia on the shoulder to get her attention, and when she turns he dumps the cup of Mountain Dew over her head. She screams in a rage as he gently places the cup on top of her head like a hat, and pats it. The audience starts to chant "You de-serve it!" at Portia. }
Vasco Dias: Steve Awesome is a stain on this company's existence! He ruined Portia's hair and her dress! That's probably an expensive dress, too!
Terri Morasco: It's been a rough few weeks for Portia in this tournament, but... she deserves it.
Vasco Dias: Oh, you think you're cute, Morasco! How would you like it if I dumped my drink over you head!?
Terri Morasco: I. Will. Punch you.
Vasco Dias: Point taken.
{ Terrella stands, seething at the sight of his girlfriend doused in soda. Awesome leaps onto the top rope, attempting a springboard splash, but Terrella catches him mid-air, and shouts: "Time to suffer, motherfucker." Terrella spins him into a sideslam and plants him. Terrella stands, clearly pissed as Portia tries to ring the Mountain Dew from her hair. The King waits on Awesome, yelling for him to: "Get the fuck up!" When Awesome does, Terrella cuts him in half with a spear! Terrella forgoes a cover, however. He pulls Awesome up by the back of his pants, and shoves him chest first into the corner. Terrella ties Awesome's arms in the ropes, and delivers 'Body Shot' after 'Body Shot' to Steve's kidneys, seven in total before the referee steps in and breaks it up. }
{ The official unties Steve, and Terrella wastes no time going on the offensive, burying Steve in the corner with the 'Silver Crush'. He grabs Steve, taking him up, then over with an aggressive 'Diffuser'! Terrella firmly clenches Steve's jaw in his hand, looking directly into his eyes. Terrella yells at Awesome: "You done!? You done!? No, you're not done yet, boy!"}
Terri Morasco: Terrella has snapped, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: He's been disrespected... his girlfriend is standing on the outside of the ring covered in an extra large Mountain Dew... what do you expect, Morasco!? You don't play games with a man like that! Look, I crack on Steve Awesome... but Steve Awesome is a very good competitor here. But he's in there with a very, very violent human being.
Terri Morasco: Terrella is pulling Awesome up... and Steve... Awesome is practically out on his feet... but he gave Terrella a crotch chop, defiant...
Vasco Dias: Steve, just stay down...
Terri Morasco: Terrella is smiling, and he's nodding... you can hear him saying, "Ok..."
{ Terrella hooks Awesome's arm behind Steve's own head in a lightning quick motion, and delivers a hard left hand right into Steve Awesome's chest with a Heart Punch!! Awesome falls to the canvas, and Terrella kneels down, looking at Awesome's eyes one more time. Seemingly satisfied, Terrella covers him... and the official slides into position for the count... One!... Two!!... Three!!! }
Terri Morasco: Steve Awesome fought hard, and he remained unapologetically himself until the end... but tonight it's a very pissed off Stephen Terrella picking up the win in the Heir to The Throne tournament.
Vasco Dias: When a man that big, and that strong, punches you that hard in the chest... it's like being hit with a brick. That heart punch may spell a lot of trouble for people moving forward in this tournament. But I'll give Steve Awesome credit for a gutty performance here tonight, that's for sure.
{ Terrella snatches his arm away from the official as the referee goes to raise it. Terrella immediately goes to the outside to console Portia. Portia stares daggers in Awesome as Terrella tries to usher her up the ramp. }

Summer Thompson: Hi guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! Isn't this exciting? Ella and I are taking over Hour two of Friday night sacrifice!
Ella Kelley: I'm personal very excited to be here.
Summer Thompson: Right? It's super cool. And we don't have a lo of time to get into this but like, this is super cool to be sharing with you. You haven't been in front of the camera much since you got hired.
Ella Kelley: To be fair... the last intern interviewer got kidnapped by a cult.
Summer Thompson: Good point!

Mr. Happy vs Nick Knight
-------------------------------------
{The match starts with Mr. Happy already standing in the ring, soaking with faygo doing a little dance as Nick Knight's music dies as he enters the ring. }
Ella Kelley: It will be interesting to see how this match goes.
Summer Thompson: I mean, I can't expect MR Happy will be putting up much a fight. Whenever he has grape he always goes to sleep right after.
Ella Kelley: ...Okay.
Summer Thompon: I interviewed him for my podcast like two years ago.
Ella Kelley: Sure.
{Nick Knight barely waits for the bell to right before he flies against Mr Happy. He unleashes himself on the other man before hitting him with a WELCOME TO HOLIWOOD. }
Summer Thompson: Oh man, look at that form!
Ella Kelley: I think he already has enough girlfriends.
Summer Thompson: That's... That's not what I meant!
{Nick pins him for the three count. Nick Knight stands with his arms in the air as the crowd cheers. Suddenly from behind him two people jump the barrier and jump into the ring. }
Ella Kelley: Wait.. is that...?
Summer Thompson: Gregor Winters and Jack Ferriman! Attacking Nick Knight!
Ella Kelley: I thought Jack committed himself to the mental hospitals?
Summer Thompson: Maybe he gets weekends free for good behavior?
Ella Kelley: ...That's not how any of that works... You know that right?
{Security comes bursting into the ring and grab Gregor and Jack, dragging them away as medical goes to check in on Nick Knight. }

SEGMENT
The tag team champions speak
-------------------------------------
{ We take a break from the action to join the reigning IWF World Tag Team Champions somewhere backstage in a dimly lit area, with a chain link fence behind them. Portia stands in the forefront. }
Portia: We've heard the questions... the whispers... Ever since my man, Stephen, and Chris dominated Team Diversity Hire at Bloody Assizes, everyone has been asking who is next for Violent Tendencies? Is it our fault though that all of the potential challengers have gone into hiding?
{ Portia softly shakes her head no. }
Portia: I completely understand why no one wants to challenge the two men standing behind me, just look at them. They decimated The Powers That Be, they demolished Those Damn Gaijin... Hall of Famers in this company. Team Diversity Hire tried, and they just didn't... measure up.
{ Portia holds up her pinky, folding it over with a bit of innuendo. She smiles, then flips her hair back. }
Portia: I'm sure the question a lot of teams are asking themselves right now is: is it worth it? How do you stop what can't be stopped?
{ Chris leans forward a little bit. }
Chris: You fucking don't.
Portia: But in case anyone was getting any ideas about challenging Violent Tendencies, let me just say- we're not hiding. There is no team in this company -or this business- we will back down from. You want a shot at these men behind me? Just say so, try your luck.
{ Terrella snears. }
Terrella: You come for what's ours, we're going to put your fucking ass down.
{ Portia flashes a confident grin. }
Portia: Because these two men have already cut through the best, and all that's left is... the rest. The Rising Dragons, Vendetta, The Disciples... it's just a matter of time until you're all victimized and brutalized at the hands of the men you see behind me.
{ Terrella grabs Portia by the waist, pressing her back against his front. }
Terrella: Might be a hard thing for you to accept, but it shouldn't be that fucking hard to understand. We own this fucking division now. It's ours.
Chris: And there ain't a GOD-DAMN thing any of you can do about it.
{ Portia laughs. }
Portia: It's frustrating, I'm sure. But as I look around that locker room, I can't help but think most of you should be used to it by now because you were all born losers. From the painted up freaks, to the Sci-fi geeks... the self-professed ladies men here... all the way down to those of you that want to throw you're self-righteous stones... It's your common thread- every single one of you are all pathetic losers. It's your lot in life. But come at these men, and you'll find out firsthand there are far worse things... because Violent Tendencies will snuff you out.
{ Chris' hand goes over the camera lens as he gives it a shove out of the way with a laugh. The camera lands on the ground with a thud. Terrella can be heard yelling for the cameraman to "get the fuck out of here, boy" as the cameraman goes flying to the floor into the sideways shot from the camera's position on the ground. Diamond, Terrella and Portia walk off as the camera cuts back to the arena. }

Wraith vs Evan Albrecht
-------------------------------------
Ella Kelley: We have been told that Nick Knight is actually perfectly fine and will be recovering well.
Summer Thompson: And here we have two new up and comers fighting for some real points for the Heir to the throne.
Ella Kelley: As compared to everyone else fighting tonight?
{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. }
Ella Kelley: Evan's been quiet lately. Wonder what that's about.
Summer Thompson: Maybe he's trying to keep some of his thoughts inside?
Ella Kelley: Yeah but....why?
{The lights throughout the arena go out row, by row, by row, until the arena is shrouded in absolute darkness. The lights come on and Wraith is standing in the center of the ring — in unison, the crowd let’s out a heavy gasp. He tilts his head back and forth, eyeing the crowd, while waiting for the match to begin. }
Summer Thompson: Yey! Wraith! Look at him. He's so happy. I love to see that kind of passion at of him.
Ella Kelley: I mean... Yeah, yeah that's uh good.
Summer Thompson: ...Are you blushing?
Ella Kelley: shut up.
Summer Thompson: Oh my god. You think Wraith is cute!
Ella Kelley: Focus on the match, jesus.
{Wraith and Evan exchange some blows but Wraith his a Whistling in the wind followed by a HOWLING pinning Evan for the one two three! }
Ella Kelley: Woo! Go wraith!
Sumemr Thompson: Bet I could set you two up...
Ella Kelley: I will hit you with my car.

SINGLES MATCH
Amber Cooke vs Crystal
-------------------------------------
Ella Kelley: I'm just saying... Uriel seems an odd choice.
Summer Thompson: He's actually very sweet though.
Ella Kelley: Didn't he kidnap-
Summer Thompson: I mean, sure, yeah he did. But he's not like that anymore. He's gentle and kind.
Ella Kelley: You have a thing for bad boys you can fix, don't you?
Summer Thompson: Guilty!
{Ella puts a finger to her ear and glances to the camera. }
Ella Kelley: Jesus christ Edward! You're meant to switch the feed to the in ring!
{The feed suddeny switches and Crystal is standoing, looking bruised and battered over Amber Cooke with her arm raised. }
Summer Thompson: Oh uh... Crystal won.
Ella Kelley: And we have no idea how.
Summer Thompson: Whoops.
Ella Kelley: Someone is getting fired...

Warren Kane speaks
-------------------------------------
{Warren is standing outside of medical, looking irritated. }
Off-camera: Warren, how do you feel about the confrontation between Ulf and Dean earlier in the night?
Warren Kane: I think Dean fucked around and found out.
Off-Camera: ...I mean...Sure, but about Dean and Ulf fighting who gets to be your number one contender.
Warren Kane: I have said many times I am willing and able to defend this belt against anyone who wants to step up for it. I'd be happy to face either of them, hell, both of them.
Off-Camera: Wouldn't that be complicated because of your... relationship with Dean?
Warren Kane: It wouldn't be the first time we've fought. Ulf earned his shot. Dean did what Verona wanted and got a title shot out of it. I'm open to either. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go yell at my boyfriend for threatening a baby.

HEIR TO THE THRONE
TAG TEAM MATCH
JC Keeton and Abraxes vs Roberto Verona and Tytus Rost
-------------------------------------
Ella Kelley: And now we are on to the main event!
Summer Thompson: I'm excited to see how this goes!
{The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits. }
I crawled out the gutter
I rose to the top
My reign everlasting
I can’t be stopped
I was made for the throne
Rise up til I moan
You been waiting on a ruler
Well I’m home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music. When he reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel as he awaits the match to start. }
Ella Kelley: JC is looking good.
Summer Thompson: But not as good as Wraith, huh~~?
Ella Kelley: Please shut up.
{The crowd turns its attention toward the entrance area as the drumbeat of Even Horizon begins. ‘You Are Black Hole’ whispers through the speakers, sending a shiver up the spine of the collective audience. From behind the curtain steps Tytus Rost, his face like carved granite as he stares with cold eyes down to the ring.
As he stands at the top of the entrance ramp, Berrick O’Murphy comes bouncing out behind him pointing and yelling, being the literal hype-man for the big Russian. }
Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring accompanied by Berrick O’Murphy, weighing three hundred and four pounds … from Mikhailovka, Russia … The Russian Lion … Tytus … Rost!
{Berrick stands in front of Tytus barking instructions at him all-the-while pointing down to the ring. Rost’s upper lip curls in a sneer as he begins to move with purpose down the ramp with O’Murphy in tow. Making it to the ring, Berrick quickly scales the ring steps and climbs into the ring as Tytus stands on the floor and then leaps up to the apron in a show of agility for a man his size. He wipes his boots on the outside of the ring before stepping in through the ropes and joining O’Murphy in the center of the ring. }
Summer Thompson: It will be interesting to see how this goes. I don't think any of these men have been tag partners before.
Ella Kelley: They all want the points and working together makes the most sense overall.
{The lights in the arena flicker and die as if there were some kind of power outage. As the light sounds of an acoustic guitar play, the high pitched laughter of children fills the air. A red spotlight shines on the stage as heavy smoke rolls across the floor. As opening lyrics of Monster (Under my Bed) by Call me Karizma starts to sing Abraxes rises from the center of the stage, his eyes burning out from under his mask as he stares down at the ring.
The rhythm of the song changes from a twisted lullaby do a grinding rock song just as he rises to his full height. Abraxes glares around at the audience before he walks down the ramp, focused on the ring in front of him. He crawls into the ring, exaggerated movements of his hands and legs to appear more like a creepy spider then a man. He rolls to his feet, holding his arms into the air as the lullaby starts anew. }
Summer Thompon: Abraxes Creeps me the hell out.
Ella Kelley: I think that's the intention.
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, psyching himself up as he awaits the beginning of the match. }
Summer Thompson: And there's our boss. Look at him go.
Ella Kelley: He does have the world best boss mug and everything.
{The match starts with Abraxes and Tytus in the ring. Abraxes is unloading on Tytus, just going feral on the russian. Tytus gets some good hits in but is mostly on defense. }
Ella Kelley: Abraxes is a beast.
Summer Thompson: I wouldn't say his name one more time.
{JC quickly reaches out and tags himself in much to Abraxes' frustration. }
Ella Kelley: What is he Beetlejuice?
Summer Thompson: I just don't want to risk it.
{Tyuts and JC are evenly matches as they exchange blows for a while before Tytus tags out to Verona. The crowd reacts strongly as Roberto enters the ring. }
Ella Kelley: You are such a coward.
Summer Thompson: Didn't you say earlier you didn't want to be kidnapped? Because mocking the demon guy gets you kidnapped.
{JC and Roberto exchange some good hits. Jc is on the ropes a little bit but he smacks Roberto off him, turning to close the distance to his partner. }
Ella Kelley: Nah, seriously. Watch this.
Summer Thompson: No...
Ella Kelley: Abraxes, Abraxes, abraxes! See--
{The lights flash in the ring and Abraxes is gone. }
Ella Kelley: OH MY GOD!
Summer Thompson: NOPE! Run!
Ella Kelley: shit. shit. shit. shiiit.
{The camera breifly turns to the booth where Abraxes is standing on the table and you can see the retreating back of Ella and Summer. He clacks his teeth once before the camera switches back. JC looks confused as Roberto hits a IDES OF MARCH. Pinning him for the one two three. } |
