------------------------------------- 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 ! Welcome! Welcome! To Friday Night Sacrifice! I am your host and the very best reason to tune in week after week, Laura Howlett! And besides me is a man I wouldnāt piss on if he was on fire and offered me 100 million dollars to save his life! Keybo Shabaz!
Keybo Shabaz: The sentiment is mutual.
Laura Howlett: So peeing on women is your thing, then?
Keybo Shabaz: NO! Thatās not what I said, thatās gross!
Laura Howlett: Oh, so now youāre kink shaming our viewers who may be into that sort of thing!?
Keybo Shabaz: No, that, whatā¦ Can we start the broadcast?
Laura Howlett: Iād love to! The Heir to the Throne continues with some huge match ups tonight!
Keybo Shabaz: Steve Awesome versus the World Television Champion, JC Keeton! But only points are on the line!
Laura Howlett: James Gilmore will be participating in a triple threat match where hopefully Pax or Wraith drops him so hard on his head it severs his spinal cord!
Keybo Shabaz: I certainly donāt hope for that. We also have a huge six man tag in the main event where the man who scores the pin or submission will gain a heft points boost!
Laura Howlett: And there will be some stellar contests sprinkled through out. The Menās World Champion will be in action, Eternity speaks, we have a new debut and Virginia is taking on the newly returned Diamond Steele!
Keybo Shabaz: So donāt turn that dial! Letās head to the first match!
------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH Shelly Diamond vs Crystal -------------------------------------
{ Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so as Crystal makes her way from the back curtain with her manager Rayne. Crystal smiles as she flips off the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her manager Rayne. Rayne smiles as she catches them as she claps for her client. }
{ 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: Shelly had a great debut last week against a perennial loser but how will she fare against someone as studied and talented as Crystal?
Keybo Shabaz: I detect sarcasm?
Laura Howlett: Of course you do! Shelly is going to steam roll this wannabe hollywood hack!
Keybo Shabaz: Crystal has been active in the ring for a lot longer and more consecutively than Shelly, Laura.
Laura Howlett: And when has that mattered against anyone she has ever faced before?
Keybo Shabaz:Iām just saying we should give her the benefit of the doubt.
Laura Howlett: If she ever manages to win a match? Maybe I will. MAYBE.
{ The match kicked off with Shelly and Crystal coming out of their corners and circling each other. Shelly is clearly sizing up Crystal in the opening moments. Shelly finally moves in looking for a front waist lock takedown but Crystal quickly breaks free from it and hits Shelly with a spinning heel kick. Crystal then connects with an enzugiri to the head of Shelly before hitting Diamond with a tiltawhirl armdrag! Crystal looks to the crowd and throws her arms out looking for some cheers but she has taken her eyes off Shelly who is already back up and comes in with a devastating chop block on Crystal! Shelly is back on her feet and has that left leg of Crystal which she repeatedly kicks in the back of the knee over and over again as Crystal claws toward the ropes.Shelly drug Crystal back to the center of the ring and delivers a DDT to the left foot of Crystal, drilling that already banged up leg into the mat. Shelly is right back up and pulls Crystal up by her hair. Shelly looks for a dragon screw leg whip but Crystal slaps her hard across the face and dives in with a swinging neckbreaker on one leg. Crystal hobbles up to her feet and tries to shake the pain out but Shelly hits a double kick from the mat to the left knee of Crystal that drops her down. Shelly nips up to her feet and hits a knee strike directly to the face of the kneeling Crystal! Shelly pulls Crystal up off the mat now and connects with the Dragon Screw Leg Whip. Shelly the lock in From the Flames on that left leg and with nowhere to go, Crystal has no choice but to tap out and give Shelly the submission victory at just over five minutes! }
Laura Howlett: I should become a professional fortune teller or at least start placing some bets in Vegas on these cards.
Keybo Shabaz: Would that mean I could have a co host who actually respects me and youād leave?
Laura Howlett: No. Iād still do this just to torture you. Shelly Diamond picking up her second win here against Crystal. Iāll give it to Crystal, she tried but in the end it just wasnāt enough.
Keybo Shabaz: Do you think Tara is starting to get worried yet?
Laura Howlett: Not at all. Shelly has a long mountain to climb before she is even in the same atmosphere as Tara Fenix, let alone in the same ring.
Keybo Shabaz: Fair enough. Next up we are going to hear from Ulf Hednir!
------------------------------------- SEGMENT Ulf responds? -------------------------------------
{The crowd is silent, anticipating the arrival of the next starā¦ and with a flicker of the lights, they are blanketed in darkness. The darkness lasts for several long seconds, seemingly driving the crowd crazy as most of them do not know who to expect. At the sudden sound of āRaise Your Hornsā and the lights flashing in sequence, the crowd erupts into a loud cheer that drowns the sound out of the music and they are not left waiting too much longer as Ulf steps out from behind the curtains with bold steps forward out to the center of the stage. He looks out at the crowd for a moment, nodding his head in appreciation for the support that they are giving him before raising a single arm into the air with his fist clenched. There is a huge pop from the crowd, and all of them raise their arms along with him; a sign of unity between the Ulfpack and Ulf Hednir. His eyes continue surveying the crowd; not one fan is in their seat, not one of them without their arm being in the air. }
Ulf Hednir: SKĆ
L!!!
Crowd: SKĆ
L!!!!!
{The crowd answers in kind, and Ulf brings his arm back down before stepping with long strides down to the ring; he moves to one side of the ramp and begins to high five many of the fans sitting at the front row, and stretches his arm to those that are able to get their hands far enough forwardā¦ He doesnāt waste too much time as he gets down to the end of the ramp, and takes a microphone from one of the ring crew members before walking up the steel steps, and finally between the ropes. He paces back and forth inside of the ring, and lowers his head, letting his music come to a quick end while the crowd is chanting his name. }
Crowd: ULF! ULF! ULF! ULF! ULF! ā¦
{There does not seem to be any intention for the crowd to stop, bringing Ulf to a halt inside of the ring. He gazes back out at the crowd surrounding him and after a deep breath, he raises the microphone. }
Ulf Hednir: Hvem is de nummer en contender?
{He asked the crowd, which got a huge roar from the crowd as they answered him by shouting his name in unison, just one time, to finally bring the chant to an end. }
Ulf Hednir: HVEM! IS! DE NUMMER EN CONTENDER?!
Crowd: ULF!!!!!!!!!
{After the roar from the crowd dies down, Ulf keeps the microphone raised to his lips with a smirk on his face as he knew what their answer would beā¦ and he accepted their answer. }
Ulf Hednir: Jeg did hva nei other mann had been able to do with de IWF World Television Championship, when jeg issued an open challenge for ANYONE to answer meg. Half-- of de IWF roster decided to answer. HALF of de roster was defeated by me! Jeg cleared de entire gauntlet to become de greatest IWF TV Champion to date, a record det--
{Ulf chuckles. }
Ulf Hednir: --is in danger so long as JC Keeton is holding det championship. Jeg wish du nothing but luck, min bror! But jeg er going to go to bigger, og better, things. Og disse crowd? Theyā¦ knowā¦
{Ulf held a hand out as if holding a platter, and the crowd ate it up. Their cheers grew louder and louder by the second, calling for Ulf to challenge and win the World Championship. }
Ulf Hednir: Jeg ha no intent of taking de shot det Dean earned--
{The crowd boos at the mentioning of Dean Harper being the rightful number one contender, and Ulf gestured for the crowd to give him a moment to finish his statement. }
Ulf Hednir: --a couple of months ago. Nei, Ulfpack! Nei! Dean earned de shot to face de IWF World Champion, og det is not something det jeg er going to take away from him. But it eats du up, Dean: it eats du up det disse fans KNOW det jeg, too, ha earned a shot at de IWF World Championship. Nei, jeg did not earn de shot by competing in any match appropriately titledā¦
{He raises his hand for the marquee. }
Ulf Hednir: āNummer en contender for de IWF World Championshipā. Jeg did not earn it in det sense, but jeg earned it by breaking through de competition-- OG DET IS SOMETHING DET DU KAN NOT DENY!
{The intensity in Ulfās voice had risen, bringing more joy to the fans for the outburst. However, following the outburst, Ulf stopped to lick his lips for a moment whilst letting those words sink into Deanās mind; he knew that Dean was watchingā¦ somewhere. }
Ulf Hednir: Jeg had nei desire, nei urge, nei urgency to gĆ„ after din shot at de IWF World Championship but after hva du did last weekā¦ after hva du said last week. Make nei mistake, Dean, if you hope to get another run as de IWF World Champion, du er going to have to go through me! Warren-- Dean-- jeg er not waiting any longer. JEG EARNED IT! JEG ER WORTHY OF IT! JEG VIL HA MIN CHANCE AT DE IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
{The demand was made. There was not one doubter sitting in the standsā¦ not one fan who did not think that Ulf was worthy of going after the IWF World Championship. }
Ulf Hednir: Nowā¦ jeg vil like to invite-- jeg vil like to invite Warren og Dean to come ute to disse ringe, og make it official. Why wait?! Jeg made it simple! Jeg want en chance at de championship! COME ON OUT! COME ON OUT! COME ON OUT!
{Ulf had repeated the phrase in a sequence that quickly got the fans to join him, and the chant ācome on outā echoed throughout the arena. Ulf laid his eyes on the curtains waiting for the arrival of either the number one contender or the World Champion-- hoping for bothā¦ }
{New divide hits the PA system as Warren walks out from backstage. He smiles to the crowd as he makes his way out to Ulf in the ring. He slides in and takes the microphone when itās offered to him. }
Warren Kane: Hey. I know there have been times in our careers here that we didnāt see eye to eye. I get that. I apologize for that. I want to say from the bottom of my heart I donāt agree with anything Dean said last week. That was uncalled for. Iām sorry.
{ Graff can put in how ulf reacts to that here. }
Warren Kane: I didnāt give Dean the number one contender spot. Verona gift wrapped that for him. If it were up to me, I think you and I would put on a hell of a match. You want to come for the world title? I welcome it.
{the crowd goes wild at the idea of the match. }
Warren Kane: Hell, if you want to kick Deanās ass to take his ticket, by all means. Go ahead.
Dean Harper: wow.
{Camera pans to Dean standing at the top of the ramp. }
Dean Harper: Thanks, honey.
{Warren shrugs. }
Warren Kane: I love you, but you are a bag of dicks sometimes.
Dean Harper: Love you too.
{ Dean casually walks down the ramp. }
Dean Harper: What do you say, puppy? Want to try this ride again or just go straight for the prize?
{Ulf sits onto the bottom rope and holds the top one up, before bringing the microphone back up. }
Ulf Hednir: If du do not want to wait--
{Ulf gets off of the rope, and just leans over the top rope with his eyes locked on Dean Harper's for several seconds. }
Ulf Hednir: --otherwise jeg ville be happy to step into de ringe with en of dere! Both of dere!
{The crowd gets giddy from that challenge, and the chant begins: "Let them fight!" Ulf still has the microphone up, and is still speaking despite the crowd drowning out the majority of the sound. }
Ulf Hednir: It is no hard feelings to du, Warren-- Jeg know det Dean does not speak for du. Jeg know det du er an honorable champion. But... at de end... du still have--
{Ulf points past Dean Harper, and not even directly at Warren Kane; he points at the championship with him. The IWF World Championship. }
Ulf Hednir: Hva jeg want.
{Warren grins. }
Warren Kane: If you want to make it a triple threat, I'm for it. I'm also happy to give you my full attention.
Dean Harper: Just don't forget who you're coming home with.
{Dean winks. }
Dean Harper: If you want to be part of the tango, I'm not going to say no. LEt's do this.
------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH Alex Blade vs El Grande Malo -------------------------------------
Laura Howlett: Interesting words from the so called Viking.
Keybo Howlett: Are you trying to say that Ulf doesnāt deserve a shot after the run heās had?
Laura Howlett: Iām saying Dean already earned a shot and Ulf isnāt in the Heir to the Throne so maybe he should wait his turn.
Keybo Shabaz: Well, that is one way to look at it but I do not agree.
Laura Howlett: And thatās fine because youāre an idiot. Now for our next contest we are going to see the debut of Alex Blade! And his opponentā¦ Christā¦
Keybo Shabaz: Christ!?
Laura Howlett: No! Not Christ! El Grande Maloā¦ The only man more worthless and annoying than James Gilmore.
Keybo Shabaz: I find that hard to believe when we employ people like Mr. Happy.
Laura Howlett: I would take a roster of Mr. Happyās over a single Malo.
Keybo Shabaz: Be that as it may, letās see how IWFās latest signing fares against El Grande Malo!
{ The house lights dim slightly as the words āOLĆā appear on the screen. The fans begin chanting along with the music as El GrandĆ© Malo bursts out from behind the curtain. He stomps his way out to the center of the stage, bouncing up and down in time with the music. He hops up and down pointing into the air and quickly begins jogging down toward the ring, slapping the outstretched hands along the way, before sliding into the ring and heading for the nearest corner. He scales the turnbuckles and continues to hype up the chanting crowd before dropping down and pulling on the nearby top rope, stretching while waiting for the match to begin. }
{ Cut The Cord by Shinedown comes on and Alex Blade comes out at the crowd entrance wearing grey and red tights and black kick pads boots and wearing a muscle shirt he looks at all the fans. He makes his way down the crowd entrance with a focus look on his face and lets the fans touch him. He climbs over the barricade. He climbs the steel steps and stops for a moment. Then jumps inside the ring he takes off his muscle shirt and throws it to a fan. And get ready for his opponent to enter the ring. }
{ The match started white hot as Malo came running out of his corner looking for a cross body block but Alex was able to avoid it. As Malo got to his feet, Alex was right there with a snapmare and moved into a rear chin lock. Malo fought his way up to his feet and broke the hold. Malo connected with a leaping leg lariat on Alex Blade and tried for a cover but it was only a one count. Both men get back to their feet and Malo missed with a wild swing as Alex dropped down behind him for a rear waist takedown. Blade immediately went for a fujiwara armbar but Malo was able to kick his feet to the ropes. Alex got back to his feet and Malo pulled himself up on the ropes. Alex came in again looking for a leaping knee strike but Malo was able to forward roll out of the way. Malo leaped back up to his feet and connected with a thrust kick to Bladeās midsection. Malo then hit the ropes with a springboard ddt on the standing Alex Blade. Malo again went for a cover but again it was only a one count. Malo pulled Alex to his feet but Blade broke free and connected with a superkick! With Malo stunned, Alex moved in with a bicycle knee strike! Blade then hoisted up the world famous lucha libre star for a kneecap brainbuster! Alex went for the cover and got a two count but Malo was able to kick out of it. Blade pulled Malo up off the mat and Malo struck back with a snap roll up. Blade was able to kick out at two. Both men got up and Alex missed a clothesline attempt as Malo went for a backslide pin. Alex kicked out at two again. Both men are back up to their feet and Malo quickly grabbed Blade for a sunset flip pin attempt! Blade kicked out at two one more time and as both men got to their feet Blade connected the Knock Out! Malo slumped to the mat and Blade quickly covered him and very nearly got the three count but Malo was able to kick out of it just in time. Alex smelled blood in the water and pulled Malo up looking to finish him off. Blade lined up his shot for the Chaotic Cutter and came in fast but Malo was able to push Blade off and grab the newcomer in a school boy pin! The referee counted the three and Alex Blade kicked out a fraction of a second too late giving Malo the surprise victory at right minutes and twenty nine seconds! }
Laura Howlett: Well thatās just great. Malo was insufferable before, heāll be even worse now with a win.
Keybo Shabaz: I find him very entertaining.
Laura Howlett: You find eating crayons entertaining.
Keybo Shabaz: That isnāt true.
Laura Howlett: Oh yes it is.
Keybo Shabaz: Anyway! Blade fought a hard match but Malo had a game plan with those rapid fire pin attempts and the last one paid off in the end.
Laura Howlett: It did but I have a feeling when we run this match back, Blade will have upped his game.
Keybo Shabaz: You may be right, Laura.
Laura Howlett: Iām always right, Keybo. Now. We are going to hear from our sponsors. Ourselves!

------------------------------------- HEIR TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Steve Awesome vs JC Keeton -------------------------------------
Laura Howlett: Welcome back to Friday Night Sacrifice! Next up weāve got the main event of Hour One! Heir to the Throne! Steve Awesome takes on JC Keeton!
Keybo Shabaz: Now Laura, youāve been pretty vocal about JC Keeton in recent weeks, what are your thoughts on this match?
Laura Howlett: Honestly?
Keybo Shabaz: Are you ever not honest?
Laura Howlett: Only when I file my taxes. Now look, I know Iāve been harsh on the kid and can you blame me?
Keybo Shabaz: Yup.
Laura Howlett: Shut up. But Iām just giving my opinion and if that lights a fire under his ass then good. JC Keeton should be a top guy in IWF, like his father should have been. JC should be an odds on favorite to win the Heir to the Throne. Will he keep the momentum going? I hope so because the Keeton name is a wrestling tradition.
Keybo Shabaz: That wasnāt nearly as insulting and degrading as I expected.
Laura Howlett: THAT being said, JC is facing off against the only man whoās a bigger wash out than his old man in Steve Awesome, so the odds are in his favor this week.
Keybo Shabaz: And thereās the back handed compliment. Also, Steve Awesome is a former World Champion and rightfully belongs in the hall of fame. How could you even consider him a wash out!?
Laura Howlett: Youāre very defensive this week.
Keybo Shabaz: Iām just standing up for someone who keeps getting the short end of the stick. Steve Awesome is habitually under appreciated and disrespected!
Laura Howlett: Woah, settle down Keybo. I didnāt realize you were the head of his fan club.
Keybo Shabaz: And another thing-
Laura Howlett: Cut his mic and head to the match!
{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 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. }
{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. }
{ We kicked off with both men circling each other, neither one willing to make the first move or the first mistake. Heir to the Throne points are on the line and that fact isnāt lost on either man. Suddenly they tie it up in the middle of the ring. Both men jockey for position but it is JC who moves into the side headlock. Steve reverses his way out of it into a rear waist lock. JC reverses his way out of that into his own rear waist lock. JC moves for a single leg takedown but Steve is able to stuff it and fires off a Jawbreaker! JC stumbles back and Steve shoots him a smirk. JC retaliates quickly with a spinning upper cut followed right up with a power double leg takedown slam! Steve scurries back up to his feet and JC comes in after him but Steve catches him with a knee lift! Steve hits several more knee lifts before heaving JC into the corner of the ring. With JC momentarily stunned, Awesome connects with an Awesome Splash in the corner. Steve rips JC out of the corner with a belly to belly suplex and makes a cover while digging his elbow into the face of Keeton. JC kicks right out at two. Steve pulls Keeton up to his feet but JC hits a pump kick and a jumping knee strike to the face of Steve Awesome. JC follows right up while Steve is staggered with a Jumping Leapfrog Bulldog! And then makes a cover of his own but itās only for two as Steve gets his shoulder up. JC rips Steve up off the mat with a deadlift scoop slam and then heads to the corner. JC climbs up to the top rope and jumps off looking for the Double Foot Stomp but Steve rolls out of the way and JC hits nothing but canvas. Steve is quick to take advantage of the situation and rushes in grabbing JC for the Awesome Plex!
Steve quickly pulls JC up off the mat and looks for Steve KO but JC fights his way out of it and pushes Steve away. Steve turns and fires off another Jawbreaker and then connects with Two running elbows followed by a scoop slam. Steve then runs to the ropes and hits an elbow drop on JC Keeton. Steve nips up, fired up and runs to the opposite side of the ring and comes back with a senton splash! Steve finishes off the onslaught with a bounce off the ropes and a slow cocky strut to JC where Awesome drops an elbow in a model pose and goes for the cover! JC kicks out with authority at two! Steve looks annoyed and pulls JC up off the mat but Keeton comes back to life with Saito Suplex! JC shakes off the cob webs and pulls Steve up to his feet and launches him into the corner! Steve hits hard and flops up and over the top rope and lands on the apron. JC rushes out and pulls Steve up on the apron then delivers a nasty brainbuster on the apron. JC pushes Steve back into the ring and makes a cover but itās somehow only two as Steve gets his shoulder up. JC rolls Steve over and then deadlifts him off the mat with a German suplex. JC then hits the top top again and this time Keeton nails the Double Foot Stomp! Keeton covers Steve once again but Awesome is once again just able to kick out. JC looks ready to wrap this one up and heads out onto the apron. JC lines up his shot as Steve staggers to his feet. JC launches himself back into the ring from the apron looking for Youth in Motion but Steve fires off a third Jawbreaker and catches Keeton in mid air! Steve drops on top of Keeton for a cover but JC is able to get his foot on the ropes to break the pin. Steve pushes himself up to his feet and gets a sly grin on his face. Awesome heads to the top rope now. Awesome looks down on Keeton who hasnāt moved an inch. Awesome signals for the end and prepares for Wrath of the Dragon! Just then Roberto Verona comes out on the stage and starts to head toward the ring. Steve Awesome spots him as the crowd roars. Steve jumps down off the top rope and starts to ready himself for a fight. Roberto gets almost all the way to the ring before he stops and points. Steve looks over his shoulder and Ode to the Outlaw!!! JC makes the cover and scores the three count and the victory at seventeen minutes and forty six seconds!!! }
Keybo Shabaz: Verona just cost Steve the match!!!!
Laura Howlett: What a glorious ending to a glorious match!
Keybo Shabaz: Are you kidding me!? That went from an incredible showcase of why IWF is the top wrestling promotion in the entire world to a shit show!
Laura Howlett: I'd agree with you if I didn't love it so much.
Keybo Shabaz: Steve Awesome was robbed of a clear victory by his boss and that is not going to sit well with the Awesome One!
Laura Howlett: Relax, you're still in charge of the fan club.
Keybo Shabaz: This isn't about that...
Laura Howlett: Wait, we are getting word that Steve Awesome has hung around ringside. Take us back!
{ The match had finished and after a bit Steve Awesome rolls back into the ring with a microphone. }
Steve Awesome: First off, everyone give another round of applause for JC Keeton! I would have loved to see how that match could have ended if Bobby could keep it in his pants but here we are.
{ Steve claps and the crowd join in. }
Steve Awesome: āWell during the week, I promised there would be a storm coming. I know Verona is within ear shot since he was just out here, so this is for him so listen up Bob.ā
Terri Morasco: The ever defiant Steve Awesome, once again, calling out the boss.
Vasco Dias: Stupid decision.
Steve Awesome: See I know, that next week is the Fan Booked Sacrifice and you and I have a date. I know that the fans have made their voice heard and they have voted for us to have a three stages of hell match.ā
{ Steve nods his head in approval. And turns back toward the crowd. }
Steve Awesome: Nice choice yāall.
{The crowd pop for themselves. }
Steve Awesome: But I guess Iām supposed to choose one of the stipulations for the matches. Hmm, what to choose? I gotta make it good. See I want to hurt you Verona. I want to whip your smug ass until you're bloody and you canāt get up under your own power. I want you to look up at me with fear in your beady little eyes and beg me to stop beating you. Thatās why, I think the stipulation that I chooseā¦.ā
{ He finds the hard camera again and glares right into it. }
Steve Awesome: I QUIT MATCH!
{ The crowd gasp. }
Steve Awesome: That's right, Verona. Next week, Iām going to make you cry. Iām going to make you scared. Iām going to beat you so bad, Iām going to make you say I quit.ā
{ Steve goes to leave but he stops and comes back to the middle of the ring. }
Steve Awesome: But waitā¦.there is one more thing. You know what I want. I want my rightful spot in the hall of fame. I want the spot I earned, and the spot you took away from me.ā
{ He paces back and forth in the ring. }
Steve Awesome: Look Verona, we all know that your beef is with me. Rob and James, they act defiant and play the role of Infamous but we all know they are good little company boys.
{ He looks into the hard cam again. }
Steve Awesome: I get it. I can tell when Iām not wanted. Thatās why Iām willing to up the ante for next week, boss man. And honestly, I think youāll really like thisā¦.ā
{ He clears his throat. }
Steve Awesome: Why donāt you go ahead and release your little Hall of Fame ban on Rob Diamond, James Gilmore andā¦.ā
{ He rolls his eyes and sighs. }
Steve Awesome:....and even Fiona McFly. Allow them the opportunity to one day have the possibility of going in. Just let that happen. And in return we have our match next week. And if I win, if I beat you, Verona then I get my spot back in the IWF Hall of Fame.ā
{ He stops pacing, and turns to face the camera. }
Steve Awesome: If I lose, then Iām gone.
{ The crowd gasp and Steve just continues to stare into the camera. }
Steve Awesome: If you release the hall of fame ban on Rob, James and Fiona, and beat me at The Fan Booked Sacrifice, then I will leave the IWF forever. I wonāt be fired, I wonāt return in six months, no masks or games, Iāll be gone. End of story.ā
{ Steve gets a little fired up as he thinks of the stakes heās adding. }
Steve Awesome: Come on Boss man, you want me gone? You want the stress and headaches that I cause to finally be done. All you gotta do Verona is release the hall of fame ban on the rest of Infamous. And then walk into Open Fight Nightā¦.and beat me.ā
{ Steve glares into the camera. A confident aura radiated off of him. }
Steve Awesome: Thatās all you have to do. If I win, I go back into the hall. And if you win, then you will never see Steve Awesome in the IWF again. Balls in your court, Veronaā¦.ā
{ Steve drops the mic and walks out of the ring and the crowd try to take in what they just heard. }
Terri Morasco: WHAT!? Steve Awesome just laid everything on the line for the sake of the rest of Being InFamous!? Will Verona even accept this charade!?
Vasco Dias: He shouldnāt! But if he did, Steve would just be signing his death wish!
Terri Morasco: How valuable would it be for Verona to never see Steve Awesome in his ring again? I guess we will find out!
------------------------------------- HOUR TWO ------------------------------------- { 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 Backstage interviewer Ella Kelley and Pre-show personality Summer Thompson are sitting. }
Summer Thompson: Hi guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! Isn't this exciting? Ella and I are back again for Hour two of Friday night sacrifice!
Ella Kelley: I'm excited to be back.
Summer Thompson: Right? It's super cool. And we should just get back into it.
------------------------------------- SEGMENT "Duty Calls" -------------------------------------
{ We find James Gilmore sitting inside his suite, deep in a meditative thought. His mind is trying to stay focused on the upcoming match, but itās clear his family is now top priority. Even though the Tesla he got as a Christmas present last year was totaled in a rear-end accident, he was grateful his wife and twin children didnāt suffer anything serious other than a few cuts and scrapes. In fact, he was talking to Yulia right nowā¦ }
James Gilmore: Whatād ya find over at the Dawkins placeā¦?!
{ JJ waited a few seconds before the first photo message from Yulia appeared on-screen. He found himself staring at a pic of a 2021 Ford F-150 Limited Edition hybrid -- much like the one Fiona has, white instead of black -- but he shook his head. }
James Gilmore: Hrmm...I like the truck, but itās a lāil too small.
{ A second picture appeared, this time...James was looking at a midnight-blue 2005 Ford Crown mVictoria. He smirked slightly, but realized that this wasnāt the vehicle he was looking for. }
James Gilmore: Crown Vicās nice, good cruisinā car too, but itās a lāil costly on gas.
{ A third photo is shown to the Islander alum, this time...itās a 2022 Toyota RAV-4 hybrid. His smile grew bigger and bigger as he nodded his head. }
James Gilmore: Uh-huh...ahh! Green, my favorite color...and Sarah only wants twenty-five grand?! Get it -- for a brand-new vehicle thatās got all the stuff we need, thatās one helluva good bargain!
{ We then see Nick Danger stepping into the picture. }
James Gilmore: Oh, gotta get goinā. Duty callsā¦
{ JJ hangs up the phone and places it inside his athletic bag. }
James Gilmore: Sorry Nick, takinā care of some family business. You okay?!
Nick Danger: I am okay James. Just finished training myself in getting out of submission holds if I ever face JC Keeton again. How is the wife and kids doing since the accident James?
{ James took a deep breath as he sipped from a bottle of orange Gatorade. }
James Gilmore: Scared the hell outta me -- thought I was gonna lose āem. Thatās the scary thing about livinā this life, knowinā that thereās things ya canāt control -- the dangers and hazards of beinā on the road or beinā in a ring either. Get behind the wheel or be a passenger, get in the ring or watch, those are the things we can control. Even a match...you donāt know whether or not youāre gonna lock in that submission.
{ He paused. }
James Gilmore: I understand youāre dealinā with losinā to JC..and thatās okay. Failure aināt the end, though -- itās just a necessary part of the path we take. Hope...is a good thing, prolly the best thing ever, and it will live on in those who continue to push themselves -- even if ya feel like youāre goinā nowhere.
Nick Danger: I know James. To be honest I need to push myself to be the best in IWF. I know there's going to be setbacks and let downs towards my journey of being a champion in IWF. Also you heard what Violent Tendencies said about facing every tag team in IWF.
{ Nick pauses for a moment. }
Nick Danger: We have to train together as a team and to truly be ready for the tag team champions. Also, I know you are in the Heir To The Throne tournament. I will be cheering you on as a friend and a tag team partner.
{ James took a deep breath before patting his friend on the shoulder. }
James Gilmore: Ya know somethinā...I never truly thanked a dear friend of mine, Jack Gaither, for helpinā bring me into the business. Thatās nothinā compared to what youāre doinā right now, and Iām proud of ya for stickinā in there, even as some others might think of bailinā.
{ He paused. }
James Gilmore: Thereās gonna be a time when Iām not gonna be around, and itās gonna be up to you to carry on what youāve learned so you can pass that to someone very special. No matter what happens, Fiona and I will always believe in you. Donāt ever forget thatā¦
{ James stands up and leaves Nick to meditate for a while. }
------------------------------------- HEIR TO THE THRONE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH Winner scores 2 extra points James Gilmore vs Pax Stormcrow vs Wraith -------------------------------------
{ The match up between the three men are intense. Gilmore and Pax are giving it everything they've got. Wraith isn't holding anything back. Wraith pins Gilmore. }
------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH Virginia vs Kate Steele -------------------------------------
{Virginia kicks Kate Steele's ass like she owes her money. }
------------------------------------- SEGMENT Eternity wants a match -------------------------------------
{The lights die suddenly.
Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaa...
The soft chilling female laughter changes the atmosphere in the arena completely before the Imperitron flickers to life with the image of Eternity sat under a soft purple light upon a throne of decaying skulls, their eyes threaded with the serpents of various autumnal colours. A golden eagle head studs the highest point of the throne behind Eternity, who is wearing a black hooded robe. The Womenās World Championship hangs in Heaven, above her head and just beyond every living personās reach and grasp.
Behind her, just off to the right is a casket draped with an upside down American flag. On top a wreath of white lilies rests, along side military dog tags.
The crowd are cheering for the popular competitor, as she takes a moment to look ahead, her green eyes shimmering under the hood, accentuated my the unnatural light around her. She begins to draw back the reaperās hood and shake her pink hair free. The majesty of the ornate throne evokes memories of the dearly departed across the history of the Imperial Wrestling Federation.
The crowd start a āRest In Peaceā chant, which Eternity acknowledges with a solemn bow of her head.
Several moments pass before the chant begins to inevitably fade away, after which Eternity follows with her joyous proclamation. }
Eternity: A MATCH! A MATCH! MY KINGDOM FOR A MATCH!
{Her bellows echo in the void around her, repeating her request, before she speaks once more. Softer and more direct this time. }
Eternity: They have spoken. The people have chosen your fate. And so once more we must end before we begin before we end once more. Just as the great circle demands of us all. The commonest fate awaits even the least common of us, Dakota. A fresh face, new and old, all are accompanied to the other side. So take my hand, walk with me. The choice is not mine. The choice is not yours. The destiny is not theirs. The destination is not ours. Yet we must begin the journey, we must complete the journey, we must end the journey. All is fair in love and war, my love, so take us to the other side. Show me just as much as I will show you next week. We were here in the beginning, we will be here in the end. Every death, every life, every rebirth. A match made in Heaven by a chorus of thousands of voices speaking as one. Every brand new beginning has a brand new end. The beautiful symmetry of life and death, played out on some grand stage for all eternityā¦
{Eternity then closes her eyes slowly and starts shaking before bursting into a uncontrollable weeping. Wailing, as if mourning the death of a lover. Wisps of green smoke start to swirl and twirl gently, dancing around her until it rises and falls as a thick curtain, obscuring her entirely from view.
The Imperitron goes black as it abruptly dies, as all things do. }
------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH Warren Kane vs Jayson Matthews -------------------------------------
{Warren and Jayson put their all into the match. Warren pins Jayson for the victory. Warren offer's Jayson a hand up but the camera cuts away before we see if Jayson takes it. }
------------------------------------- HEIR TO THE THRONE SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Whoever scores the pinfall gets 3 extra points Chris Diamond, Stephen Terrella and Evan Albrecht vs Nick Knight, Abraxes and Roberto Verona -------------------------------------
{ "Shitlist" by L7 brings the World Tag Team Champions, Chris Diamond and Stephen Terrella out first, along with Portia. The crowd boos them relentlessly. "Valiant Hearts" by Devil Trigger brings Evan Albrecht out next to a much more positive response from the fans in attendance for the evening. }
{ For the opposing team, "Personal Jesus" by Lollipop Lust Kill brings Nick Knight out to begin the introductions to a warm reception from the crowd. Abraxes is the next man out for his team, making his entrance to "Monster (Under my Bed)" by Call me Karizma. Finally, Roberto Verona makes his arrival as "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps plays him to the ring. }
{ Chris Diamond and Stephen Terrella have an argument with Evan Albrecht over who will start for their team. Albrecht finally concedes, allowing Diamond to start. Nick Knight stands in the ring on the opposite side awaiting Diamond. The two men stand nose-to-nose in the center, with Diamond striking first with a hard right hand. Knight answers with a closed fist of his own, forcing Diamond back a step. Chris draws back, launching another right to Knight's chin, forcing Nick back a step. Nick quickly returns fire with a hard headbutt to Chris' forehead. }
{ Diamond staggers, then pulls Knight in with a short-arm clothesline. Nick hits the canvas, and Diamond waists no time burying a knee onto his throat. The Main Man lets up on Blue Shoes' four count. Chris walks toward the ropes, jawing with the crowd as they chant: "You suck." The Main Man draws the crowds ire by cupping his ear. When he turns, Nick meets him and cinches him up and takes him over with a t-bone suplex. Diamond hits hard on his back, but he rises quick despite the pain. Knight lights into Diamond with a few heavy chops to the Main Man's chest, steering him into the enemy corner. }
{ Knight puts a hand over Chris' face, and tags in Roberto Verona. Verona leads Diamond out of the corner, executing a swinging neckbreaker. Roberto leaps, driving all of his weight down onto Diamond's forehead behind a jumping knee to the face. Verona goes for the ropes, seemingly trying to build some momentum for a running knee strike; but Terrella halts Verona's momentum with a yank of his hair. The illegal grab of the hair creates some friction between Evan and Stephen on the apron. Verona has words for Terrella, too. Chris recovers just enough to blast Verona in the side of the face with a pump kick though off the distraction. }
Vasco Dias: Viscous boot there! That'll serve Diamond well in this match, but it may not do him many favors when it comes time to negotiate a new contract!
Terri Morasco: I'm not sure about that, Vasco. When Mr. Verona steps in the ring as a competitor, I believe he understands he's stepping into a different world, and is able to separate the two. He wants the challenge. There's a tag from Diamond to Terrella now... and our tag champs are changing places...
Vasco Dias: This should be interesting... Terrella is a very large man, in a very bad mood... He seems to pride himself on putting down Hall Of Famers in this company, and Verona is a Hall of Famer here... Hell, he runs the frickin' place! Terrella may see this as the ultimate jewel in his crown if he can take out Verona.
Terri Morasco: Terrella is pointing at Abraxes!... I think he wants the monster!?
Vasco Dias: Portia is looking a little concerned on the outside, and rightfully so! Verona appears to be mulling it over... If he tags out to Abraxes, he may cost himself three points... but you have to believe the businessman in Verona can smell the money in the air if those two big bulls collide.
Terri Morasco: Verona with the tag! Terrella wanted Abraxes, and now he's going to get Abraxes!... We'll see if he can handle him...
{ Terrella stands toe-to-toe with Abraxes, neither man flinching. Terrella begins to jaw a little, and Abraxes chatters his teeth in response. The King flies a middle finger right in Abraxes' face. The monster answers violently, striking Terrella with a stiff forearm strike. Terrella winces, but holds his ground. He answers the blow with a hard left hand to Abraxes, and this time it's the Monster who barely flinches aside from a slight turn of the body. Abraxes replies with a crushing headbutt, which sees Terrella grab at his head. Terrella kicks Abraxes in the gut. Abraxes rattles off another forearm shot as the men continue to trade. Terrella scores with a headbutt, followed closely by another. The crowd doesn't seem fond of either man, but roars for the exchange. }
{ The King whips Abraxes into the ropes off the headbutts. Abraxes ducks a clothesline, and on the rebound catches Terrella with a Cross Body Block! The impact of the blow flattens Terrella. Portia pounds the canvas for her man to get up, and Abraxes focuses on her. She steps back, utterly terrified as Abraxes moves for her on the outside. Diamond hops down from the apron, grabbing his bat and intercepting Abraxes at the pass as Portia retreats. Abraxes chatters at Diamond, then turns for Terrella again. The King has risen, however, and he digs his fingers deep into Abraxes eyes as the Monster stands on the apron. Terrella snaps Abraxes throat-first over the top rope, pushing his windpipe against the cabling with all of his three hundred plus pounds. }
{ Abraxes drops to the floor, but doesn't such much effects from the blow. He reaches in, pulling Terrella down, and under the bottom rope. Terrella blocks a punch from Abraxes, but Abraxes headbutts the King again. The monster grabs Stephen by the wrist and whips him into the steel stairs, jarring them off their base, and sending Terrella careening over the top of them. Abraxes moves in pursuit. Terrella punches Abraxes in the gut, slowing him some. Abraxes bounces Terrella's head off the apron, however, then rolls him back in the ring. As Abraxes follows, Nick Knight tags himself into the match by slapping Abraxes on the back as he comes through the ropes. Knight and Abraxes have a momentary staredown. }
Vasco Dias: Tensions appear to be rising on team Italian Monster Knight, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: Did you just say team Italian Monster Knight?
Vasco Dias: Magnificent, isn't it? If I repeat it enough, I'll get it to catch on. All I want it five percent of the merchandise sales.
Terri Morasco: Realllly? And who's five percent, theoretically, would you be taking if this plan works out? Verona's, Abraxes' or Knight's?
Vasco Dias (nervously): I mean... I don't know, my agent would have to discuss that... preferably with me in another country. It's a loose number, Morasco. I'm flexible. Zero works, too. Zero is just fine. We'll talk. How about we just focus on the match? Is it really, really hot in here tonight?
{ Knight rakes Terrella's eyes after cooler heads prevailed in the stare down, seemingly. Knight draws some cheers from the crowd as he hits the ropes, coming off and nailing Terrella with a lariat that drops the King. Knight goes into a cover, and Blue Shoes slides into position! His hand hits the mat for One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella is able to power out! Knight turns a watchful eye toward his own corner, where hints lie that both Verona and Abraxes had maybe been set to come in to break the count. Nick leads Terrella away from Nick's own corner in an odd bit of tag strategy, preferring to work in a neutral corner. He cinches Terrella up, prepping for a t-bone suplex; but it's Portia's reaching in and grabbing Nick's ankle, unbeknownst to the official behind the wall of humanity in the ring. }
{ Portia's interference throws Nick's balance off a hair, also creating an opening for Terrella to throw a back elbow into the side of Knight's head. Terrella powers Knight up, then drives him through the canvas with a Samoan drop. Sweat pours down Terrella's face as he rolls up onto all fours. Knight lays on the canvas a moment, finally starting to stir. Albrecht reaches for a tag as Terrella crawls for the corner. Terrella looks at Albrecht, telling him, "Fuck you", before tagging his Violent Tendencies partner, Chris Diamond, in. Albrecht is boiling on the apron, itching to get in the match. Albrecht and Terrella can be been arguing over what just transpired. }
{ Meanwhile, in the ring, the Main Man brings Knight down with a Russian Leg Sweep. Diamond smirks as he sits up. He goes to his feet and ties up Knight's arms, only to drop him with a double underhook piledriver. Diamond builds a head of steam off the near ropes, then goes to bounce off the far ropes. Roberto Verona takes the top rope in both hands and drops down though, dragging the rope with him, and dumping Chris Diamond outside on the floor. Verona hits a flurry of punches, striking Diamond in the ribs and abdomen, then the jaw. With a lightning like quickness, Verona flips Chris up and over with a snap suplex on the floor. Terrella lumbers over to break up the assault, and Verona rolls Diamond into the ring. }
{ Knight stomps down on the Main Man's hand, smashing his fingers with one of those crafty veteran maneuvers. Nick muscles the Main Man up, taking him over with a German Suplex! Knight hangs on, rolling over and muscling Diamond up again for a second German suplex! The crowd roars, as Knight retains his grip and rolls Diamond over once more. The Main Man's head is a little wobbly at this point, and Knight sucks in a breath of air before dropping Diamond on his head one last time!! The crowd is chanting for Nick Knight. Portia tries to hush the crowd by shouting at them on the outside. }
Terri Morasco: What an amazing display of strength from Nick Knight!
Vasco Dias: I have to give it to Knight, that was impressive. The Main Man isn't a small man, either... Ooohh... but there's Roberto Verona tagging himself in with a slap to Nick Knight's back! I think Verona smells blood in the water, and there's not a chance he's going to let Knight steal his dinner!
Terri Morasco: Nick Knight doesn't like it, and how can you blame the man at all!? He just put in the hard work wearing Diamond down, and now Verona is going to reap the reward?
Vasco Dias; Verona with a beautiful leg drop style bulldog there! I'd just like to know what you expected there, Morasco? Should Verona just have said here, Nick, have the three points for the pinfall? That could be the difference in winning this tournament or not winning this tournament.
Terri Morasco: Well if Nick Knight did the work, doesn't he deserve the three points? Right is right, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: Sure, yeah, if you want to be a loser your whole life, Morasco.
{ Verona capitalizes on his advantage by hitting a Brainwasher on Diamond! Verona goes for a cover, and as Blue Shoes slides into position for a count his hand hits the mat for the One!... Two!!... The count stops as Terrella comes in and stomps down on the back of Verona's head! Blue Shoes admonishes Terrella, and gets a middle finger in response. Terrella shoves Blue Shoes aside, moving in on Verona illegally. The shove momentarily throws Blue Shoes off-balance, but the plan backfires on Terrella when Verona lifts an arm between Terrella's legs and connects with a low blow. Terrella crumples to the canvas, rolling to the outside at Portia's feet. She tends to her man on the outside, yelling up at Verona at the same time. }
{ Diamond comes in from behind on Verona with a right hand to the back of the skull. Hurting, Diamond hits Verona with the 'Gran Torino' almost out of instinct. Terrella is still down on the floor with Portia. Diamond looks over at his corner where Albrecht is reaching for a tag, but the Main Man waves Albrecht off with a few choice words. Knight yells for Verona to tag him, too. Diamond moves in and covers Verona before Roberto can make his way anywhere though, scoring a two count on Roberto before Verona lifts a shoulder! }
{ Diamond cinches in a Masterlock, looking for the submission on Verona. Roberto alertly drives Diamond back first into the turnbuckles in the corner. The first hit loosens Diamond's grip, and with a second effort Verona manages to free himself. Roberto turns and performs a leg sweep on Diamond. The Main Man goes down, then catches a knee to the face from Verona. Verona hoists Diamond up and performs a chokeslam backbreaker. Needing time to recover, Verona tags in Abraxes. }
{ The monster launches himself into the ring with a slingshot spear! Abraxes stays on a roll, hitting the Main Man with a fallaway slam. Diamond looks for refuge in the corner off the impact, but Abraxes gives him none. Abraxes gets some momentum and comes barrelling in with a rolling cannonball. Abraxes crawls backward, stands, and then delivers a running knee to Chris' face. The frightening force drags Diamond out of the corner a bit by the ankle and makes a cover, but Portia reaches in and puts Diamond's leg on the bottom rope at the count of two. }
{ Albrecht gets into a heated exchange with Terrella again over Portia's involvement. Abraxes goes outside the ring, realizing what she did, and begins to close in on her. She screams, running for Terrella. Terrella hops down off the apron to protect his girlfriend, striking Abraxes under the jaw with a hard left hand. Terrella rams Abraxes' back into the steel guardrail, and the two men begin to brawl on the floor. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Diamond is on his feet, but staggering. He stumbles toward his corner, and Albrecht tags himself in to the crowd's delight! }
Terri Morasco: The Thunderchild has had enough of being shut out of this match by his teammates! Evan charging across the ring!... There's a right hand to Knight!... and a Shotei Palm strike knocks Verona off the apron!
Vasco Dias: That is no way to treat your boss!
Terri Morasco: Evan slides out to the floor! He cuts Abraxes down with a chopblock to the back of the knee! There's certainly no love lost between those two! The Thunderchild is on fire!
Vasco Dias: Terrella is telling him to get back up in the ring and tag him! The King doesn't look at all pleased, and I can't blame him! This is a tag team match, and Terrella and Diamond are the tag team champions! If Albrecht would just do what they tell him, he may not walk out of here with a big fat zero in his points column! But no, he's hard-headed!
Terri Morasco: Albrecht just hit Terrella with an European Uppercut! And he rams Terrella head-first into the steel ring post!
Vasco Dias: You idiot, that's your own tag team partner!
Terri Morasco: Are you really going to sit there and pretend that Violent Tendencies have been great teammates!? As far as I'm concerned, Terrella had that coming!
Vasco Dias: The Thunderchild just DDT'ed Abraxes on the floor! He's out of control!
Terri Morasco: Evan knows he can't win this match on the outside... so he rolls Abraxes back into the ring... The Thunderchild is back up on the apron now... measuring Abraxes... and there's a flying forearm that takes the Monster down!
Vasco Dias: This lunatic is mounting Abraxes now!... pounding away on his skull with fists! These morons in the crowd are encouraging this, too! Someone put a leash on him!
Terri Morasco: Evan is up!... and he's just stomping a mudhole in Abraxes!
Vasco Dias: He needs some anger management classes or something! If Blue Shoes isn't careful, Albrecht may just start beating the hell out of him, too!
{Albrecht begins stalking Abraxes. He unleashes a guttural howl, and then twists Abraxes arm with an armwrench. Albrecht strikes with Luna's Armour with ferocity! Evan covers, and Blue Shoes slides in for the count... One!... Two!!... No!!! Violent Tendencies storm the ring and pull their own tag team partner off of Abraxes! Terrella and Diamond begin beating down Evan Albrecht in the center of the ring as the crowd rains boos down on them. Terrella pulls Albrecht up off the canvas, whipping him toward Diamond, and the Main Man greets him with a big boot! Portia hands one of her heels into Terrella. Diamond drags Evan up, holding his arms so he can't defend himself. Terrella then spikes Albrecht in the temple with the heel of the shoe! }
{ Nick Knight comes in and blasts Diamond in the back with a double ax-handle! Knight throws some punches Terrella's way as the King tries in vain to take hold of Nick Knight. Abraxes stands, chattering his teeth. Diamond shoves Abraxes back into the corner, and Verona makes a blind tag on Abraxes. Verona and Abraxes begin to double-team Diamond while Knight and Terrella brawl with each other. Every man is in the ring in some capacity now! }
Vasco Dias: All hell has broken loose here in the Allstate Center! Knight and Terrella are slugging it out! Verona and Abraxes are working over Diamond! And if you're wondering why Evan Albrecht is out, it's because his own tag team partners beat the hell out of him for not listening like he should!
Terri Morasco: Who appointed Diamond or Terrella team captain!?
Vasco Dias: Genetics, Morasco! It's like Diamond said, there are a couple of big swingin-
Terri Morasco: Ok!!!... let's not quote Chris Diamond, k? Speaking of Diamond, he just shoved Verona off, back into Blue Shoes!... and Blue Shoes is down! Verona spills out onto the outside from the collision! And we have a two-on-two fight now!
Vasco Dias: My money is on the two guys used to working together in that case!
{ The lights inside the arena go out. }
Vasco Dias: I hate when this happens.
Terri Morasco: It is pitch black in here.
{ When the lights come back up Roberto Verona is standing in the ring holding a lead pipe. Verona blasts Terrella in the back of the head with the pipe, knocking him to the canvas. Before Knight can react, Verona hits his own teammate in the ribs, then up under the chin. Abraxes charges for Verona, but Roberto shifts the pipe in a way that he can use it to aid him in performing the 'Madame Guillotine' on Abraxes. Diamond tries to swing at Roberto with his bat, but Verona uses the pipe to block the shot. Verona kicks Diamond low, then strikes him over the back with the pipe. Verona looks at Albrecht as Evan starts to stir... }
Terri Morasco: Not like this!... Come on, not like this!
Vasco Dias: It's genius! When the lights went out, I thought it was Abraxes doing weird Abraxes things... but Roberto Verona had a plan all along!
Terri Morasco: Verona rushes Evan!... That sickening sound!!... Verona just put that lead pipe in front of his knee, delivering Veni, Vidi, Vici right into the side of Evan's head! Albrecht is out!
{ Verona comes up clutching his own knee a bit from the force of the blow against the pipe. He tries to bring Blue Shoes back to. Verona goes over and covers Albrecht, hooking a leg for good measure. Blue Shoes groggily counts... One!... Two!!... Three!!! The bell rings as "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps starts to blare. Verona sits on his knees, eyes closed, perhaps with a sense of relief as the official announcement comes in. }
