-------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Vendetta vs The New Age In-Laws (The Hard Ass Willy Knife and The Devil Dog Jackie Janes)
-------------------------------------
{ The lights in the arena darken, and blue and white spotlights are cast upon the stage. Snow falls from the rafters, gently dancing in the lights, and landing softly onto the stage as the opening to Nonpoint's "In The Air Tonight" echoes throughout the arena. JessƩ Marchand steps out from behind the curtain first, followed closely by Travis Reinhart. Marchand kneels on the stage with his head bowed, tapping his fist to his nose three times; while Reinhart stands behind him and runs his thumb across his throat in a slashing gesture. }
Alison Valance: Coming down the aisle... weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred fifty-two pounds... The Iceman... JessƩ Marchand... and The Clipper... Travis Reinhart... they are Vendetta!!
( Reinhart and Marchand begin to walk toward the ring with a cool and quiet confidence. )
Well, when you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
{ Both men pause at the bottom of the ramp, holding up the middle two fingers on their right hands in a "V" shape for the camera. Marchand slides underneath the bottom rope into the ring while Reinhart heads up the stairs and leaps over the top rope. They climb opposite corners, perching themselves on the middle turnbuckles. Marchand surveys the arena, looking side-to-side while Reinhart glances back over his shoulder toward the ring with a bit of a smirk. Both men hop down and remove their jackets as the lights rise and the song begins to fade out at the 01:53 mark. Across from them stand the New Age In- Laws. }
Laura Howlett: Before their brief hiatus, Vendetta was on quite the hot streak.
Keybo Shabaz: Absolutely, itās actually surprising to me they havenāt received a tag team title shot yet.
Laura Howlett: Well a win here tonight may just bump them up the rankings enough to become the next challengers.
{ The match kicks off with Travis and Willy in the ring. Travis and Willy lock up in the center of the ring but Travis is quick to move into an arm trap swinging neckbreaker aka the C4 Exploder! Travis sneers at his opponent who he quickly peels up off the mat and launches into the ropes before catching him with The Frost Blade! Travis drags Willy over to Jesse and makes the tag. Jesse and Travis set Willy up and then lay him down with the Double Shot! Jesse makes the cover but Jackie Janes saves his partner. Travis re enters the ring and grabs Jackie with the Stormās End and kicks Jackie out of the ring. Jesse pulls Willy up and Travis comes back over to his partner. They set Willy up and then lay him out cold with the Stormbreaker! Jesse makes the cover as Travis plays defense and Vendetta pick up the win at two minutes and twenty one seconds! }
Laura Howlett: Sign me up for Violent Tendencies versus Vendetta! These guys are machines!
Keybo Shabaz: An incredibly impressive victory that has to be turning the heads of the other teams in the tag team division.
Laura Howlett: Say what you want about the competition, Vendetta just steam rolled those two men and in a tag team match setting? Thatās incredible.
Keybo Shabaz: It absolutely is. Next up weāve got the Joker in the Pack holder taking on Warren Suffering!
Laura Howlett: I do the segways around here, assclown. Zip it!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Caleb Lockwood vs Warren Suffering
-------------------------------------
{The string and piano intro of "Look at Me" begins to play over the PA as the lights are doused, plunging the crowd into blackness. As the crowd buzzes, the drums kick in, bathing the stage and ramp in a red light, revealing Caleb Lockwood standing at the top of the stage, Joker in the Pack briefcase in hand. After a moment of taking the crowd in, letting the guitars fade in, he nods once, pressing his forehead to the briefcase. The lights begin to flash as the guitars pick up, erratically flickering on and off across the crowd, and as the vocals kick in, white light kicks in, flooding the arena and drowning out the red. Caleb stalks forward, briefcase swinging at his side like a hammer, and slides into the ring, pushing himself up to his feet with a paranoid side-to-side glance. Taking a moment to relax, he stalks to the corner, setting the briefcase down on the apron. Pressing his back to the turnbuckles, he slowly slides down to a seated position, head bouncing off of the buckles as he slumps down, arms hooking the second rope as he basks in the music, the sound of the crowd, and the calm before the storm. Warren Suffering stands timidly across the ring from Caleb. }
Laura Howlett: Caleb Lockwood has the option the option as Joker in the Pack to stand on the side lines and wait for his opportunity, it says a lot about his character that heās out here competing.
Keybo Shabaz: Many would take the luxury of a title shot anytime, anywhere for granted and wait it out.
Laura Howlett: Now if Caleb could just get the right person in his ear and stop listening to that disgusting wannabe Clark Kent, Warren Kane. Heād be a star.
Keybo Shabaz: I honestly donāt think Caleb needs your help becoming a star.
Laura Howlett: Spike felt the same way and look what I did for him.
Keybo Shabaz: Oh look, they rung the bell!
{ Lockwood explodes out of his corner and drills Warren Suffering with a running somersault neckbreaker! Caleb gets right up and just stomps Suffering on the back several times before pulling the smaller man up by the neck. Lockwood unloads on Suffering with Muay Thai knee strikes over and over again that eventually cause Suffering to drop to a knee. Caleb hits the ropes and comes roaring back across the ring with a knee strike to the face of Suffering. Caleb deadlifts Warren up off the mat and tosses Suffering onto his shoulder. Caleb charges across the ring to deliver some Street Justice to Warren Suffering! Suffering is now bleeding from where his face it the ring post and Caleb pulls him right into Fading Hope! Lockwood then transitions right into Starvations Grasp! Warren immediately taps out to Caleb giving Caleb the submission victory at two minutes and thirty seconds. }
Laura Howlett: Caleb Lockwood is the Freddy Kreuger of professional wrestling.
Keybo Shabaz: That is a compliment, right?
Laura Howlett: Keybo, take your uncultured ass and get out of my sight!
Keybo Shabaz: Iām just clarifying.
Laura Howlett: Yes, itās a compliment because I love watching him murder people!
Keybo Shabaz: Gotcha.
Laura Howlett: Next up, former World TV title contender, Gregor Winter looks to get a W in the win column as he continues his trek toward championship gold!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
1K RP Word Limit
Gregor Winter vs Mr. Happy
-------------------------------------
{Gregor stands in the middle of the ring with a mic in one hand and a black mask in the other. }
Gregor Winter: I am going to keep this short and sweet. Mr. Happy do you want to become the best version of yourself possible or do you want to remain a loser that hides his shame beneath face paint? Do you want to have to keep painting on a fake smile hoping to one day really be happy, or would you like to take the steps to make that a reality? Take this mask from me and take your place as a disciple in The Church of Crosse.
{Mr. Happy shakes his head letting the big man that he has absolutely no plans to join the cult. Fire flashes in the eyes of āThe Modern Day Vikingā and he charges across the ring turning IWFās clown prince inside out with a huge lariat. Winter puts his foot across the chest of Mr. Happy to make the pinā¦ }
Oneā¦
Twoā¦
Kickout!!!
{Winter picks the microphone up off of the canvas and stands over Mr. Happy. }
Gregor Winter: I will give you credit for one thing clown, youāve got guts for being a fucking loser; but you donāt have to be a loser. Accept the mask, join the The Church of Crosse and become the best you possible.
{Gregor drops the mask on Mr. Happyās chest by the painted face grappler throws it to the mat and gives Winter the finger. āThe Modern Day Vikingā goes into an absolute rage and pulls Mr. Happy up off of the canvas and placed the clowns painted face between his knees. Signaling that it is the end he quickly hits a buckle bomb followed up by a sitout powerbomb completing The Viking Funeral. Once is not enough though and he hoists the developmental wrestler up and drops him skull first onto the top turnbuckle, but before the big Viking can complete the devastating finishing move for a second time something in the crowd distracts him.
Winter leans against the ropes and begins chirping and someone in the audience. Suddenly a the man in the dragon mask hops up onto the barricade and a ball of flames shoots from his mouth. Gregor backs up to get away from the fire and ends right in a school boy from Mr. Happy. Blue Shoes drops to the mat to make the countā¦ }
Oneā¦
Twoā¦
Three!!!
{ The crowd goes absolutely insane as Mr. Happy has pulled off possibly the biggest upset in the history of IWF. Realizing what has just happen the clown begins jumping in joy until he realizes that a very pissed off Gregor Winter is still in the ring with him, so he quickly rolls out of the ring and heads for the locker room.
āThe Modern Day Vikingā begins to give chase until he releases that The Brothers Knight are standing atop the entrance ramp with baseball bats in hand. }
Nick Knight: You might might want to hold it right there Leif Erickson, unless you want to be rolled out of here on a stretcher. What I need you to do is tell your boss that he can save his time making those calls because we had a meeting and are all in agreement that are brother can go fuck himself. You can also remind him that if he even thinks about coming after our families we will see his compound burn, which should be pretty easy since we have a dragon on our side.
{Gabriel Crosse sends another gout of flame towards the ring as the show fades to a commercial for Legacy. }
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
TDH want a shot at the Tag Team Titles
-------------------------------------
{the camera comes on to Pax, Nate and Nick sitting back stage. }
Nick Hunter: Yāall know who it is.
Pax Stormcrow: Thatās right.
Nate Harris: We want another shot at the tag team title. We want to get another shot!
Nick Hunter: Hells yeah we do.
Pax Stormcrow: Itās not like you got much else to do, right Violent Tendencies?
-------------------------------------
HEIR TO THE THRONE SEMI FINALS
SINGLES MATCH
Pax Stormcrow vs JC Keeton
-------------------------------------
Laura Howlett: Welcome back! And let me just say did anyone ever expect Mr Happy to beat anyone else besides James Gilmore!?
Keybo Shabaz: I wouldnāt have bet money on it but it happened.
Laura Howlett: This whole civil war with the Church of Crosse is starting to heat up. Keybo, I hear theyāre looking for human shields, you should sign up!
Keybo Shabaz: No thank you.
Laura Howlett: And letās talk about TDH throwing out a challenge to Violent Tendencies!
Keybo Shabaz: TDH, another of the great teams in IWF who in my opinion deserve a crack at the champs!
Laura Howlett: Far be it from me to say they donāt deserve a shot, Iād hate for PR to suspend my Twitter account or send me to sensitivity training so I say give it to them! But next up weāve got our main event for hour one of Sacrifice!
Keybo Shabaz: Thatās right, Laura! Itās Pax Stormcrow versus JC Keeton in the Heir to the Throne Semi Finals!
Laura Howlett: Iāve waffled on both of these men in the past and let me be the first to say I was wrong.
Keybo Shabaz: And I found my new ring tone.
Laura Howlett: Shut up! Pax and JC proved through this tournament they are the future of this company and the futures is coming. Up. NEXT!
{ 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. }
{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. }
Laura Howlett: Listen to that crowd, Keybo! They are hotter than Dean Harper in a shower with Warren Kane!
Keybo Shabaz: That is pretty hot.
Laura Howlett: Youāre damn right it is! I donāt care what anyone else says or thinks. Pax and JC are future World Champions. They are the future of this company! And I will do whatever it takes to have them working under my wing or laying under my boot!
Keybo Shabaz: Thatās pretty threatening considering your actual client didnāt make it into the semi finals.
Laura Howlett: What was that?
Keybo Shabaz: I said what I said.
Laura Howlett: Weird, because I donāt think Tytus heard you and he just so happens to be waiting off stage. Should I call him over?
Keybo Shabaz: Youāre bluffing.
Laura Howlett: Am I?
Keybo Shabaz: Uhhā¦ Well.. I mean.. A little guidance never hurt anyone.
Laura Howlett: Thatās what I thought! Now letās sit back and enjoy our hour one main event!
{ Before the bell rings, Pax and JC approach each other in the middle of the ring to shake hands. They then back off to their corners as the crowd shows their respect. Blue Shoes is the official and he calls for the bell. JC and Pax circle each other as they come out of their corners. Each man sizing the other up, each man having studied the other for endless hours leading up to this match up. They circle each other for the third time before they both move in for a tie up. Pax and JC jockey with each other for position but ultimately they both break away as the crowd continues to roar. They circle each other again before moving in for another tie up. Pax quickly drops behind JC and grabs him in a rear waist lock. Pax goes for a German suplex but JC widens his base and blocks it. JC breaks the grip Pax has on his waist and does his own go behind looking for a side head lock but Pax is quick to push him off. The two once more circle around each other like a couple of alpha lions circling their prey. They move in again for the tie up and jockey with each other. JC manages to go behind Pax and locks in a rear chin lock attempting to kick the legs of Pax out from under him. Pax does eventually drop to his bottom only so that he can sit out of the chin lock and quickly grabs JC for a toe hold bringing Keeton to the mat! Pax then quickly clambers over JC looking to lock Keeton in the Broken Wing. Keeton quickly fights his way out of it and back to a vertical base. Pax stands up now as well and the two men nod at each other.
Pax and JC approach each other slowly. Pax moves in for another tie up but JC instead fires off a basement Yakuza kick! Followed right up with a jumping knee strike! Keeton then hits the ropes at full speed and comes roaring back with Ode to the Outlaw but Pax gets under it! Pax quickly grabs JC from behind with a dumping German suplex! JC nips back to his feet but Pax is already right there and scoops Keeton up with an Olympic Slam! Pac grabs JC by the head but JC rolls Pax up. Itās only a two count and both men get back to their feet. JC connects with a standing dropkick just as Pax stands and sends him into the corner. JC is right up and roars in after Pax looking for a splash. Pax moves and grabs JC for a dragon suplex out of the corner! Pax moves in as fast as he can looking to lock in the Broken Wing again but JC fights his way to the ropes. JC pulls himself out onto the apron and Pax smartens up knowing what JC is hoping to do. Instead Pax fires off an elbow strike and then looks to deadlift vertical suplex JC back into the ring! Pax nails it and quickly moves into a cover but itās only a two count. Both men get back to their feet and JC fires off a tornado kick but Pax blocks it. Pax fires off a European upper cut but JC dodges it. JC then launches another leaping knee strike but Pax moves out of the way of that and drops behind JC to grabs him for a full Nelson slam. JC manages to block that and then socks Pax right in the mouth with an elbow shot. JC comes in as Pax staggers and hits a poisoned frankensteiner! JC covers Pax but it is only a two count as Pax gets his shoulder up.
JC looks to the top rope and heads over. Pax is still down, feeling the effects. JC reaches the top rope and lines up his shot. JC leaps off the top rope looking for a double foot stomp but Pax moves and JC hits the mat hard. Pax moves in for a double leg take down on JC and then transitions Keeton into the Broken Wing! JC is struggling hard, clawing at the mat with his one free hand. Pax is wrenching with everything heās got but JC is just inches from the ropes. Then JC is just milimeters from the ropes. JC is clawing his way to the ropes with absolutely everything he has until his finger tips just graze the bottom rope forcing Blue Shoes to break the hold. Pax lets off but clearly heās getting a little frustrated while also enjoying the challenge that JC Keeton is providing. Pax takes a step back to allow JC to stand up. JC reaches his feet and heās starting to look a little gassed while Pax has a single bead of sweat running down his forehead. The two men nod at each other before charging into another tie up. This time Pax quickly gets the upper hand in the tie up and drops behind JC for a rear waistlock take down. Pax moves right in looking to finish JC off but Keeton smartly rolls to the apron. Keeton is looking completely spent now as Pax approaches. Pax stops before climbing out but JC is breathing heavy and trying to recover. Pax steps out onto the apron and grabs JC by the head. Pax pulls JC up to his feet and Keeton fires off a leaping knee strike! JC then grabs Pax and picks him up for a brainbuster on the apron!!! JC rolls Pax back into the ring and covers him, hooking both legs but itās only 2.8 as Pax manages to get his shoulder up.
JC feels the momentum in his favor and pulls Pax up off the mat. JC hits the ropes and looks for his signature Leapfrog Bulldog but Pax somehow turns it into an Armdrag Takedown in mid air! JC is right up but Pax launches himself into JC with a European upper cut that sends JC into the corner! Pax charges in and connects with another European upper cut then launches JC out of the corner with a release overhead belly to belly suplex! Pax is feeling fired up now as JC is fighting to get back to his feet. Pax steps in and just grabs JC, looking for the Saito Suplex. Pax lifts JC up and Keeton comes back to life turning the Saito into an Armdrag Takedown as well! Pax rolls to his feet but JC comes in fast with a shotgun dropkick sending Pax into the corner! JC nips up and runs in hitting a knee strike to the head of Pax! JC pulls Pax up and throws him to the ropes, on the rebound JC goes for Ode to the Outlaw but Pax gets under it. Pax hits the ropes and comes back with a huge spinebuster! Pax has had enough as he pulls JC up to his feet. Pax locks in the hammerlock and sets JC up for the Peace Out. JC manages to block the Peace Out by hooking one of his legs around Paxās. Pax struggles to launch JC but Keeton holds his ground. JC manages to fight his way free of Pax and Pax comes in hard looking for a European upper cut! JC drops beneath it. Pax hits the ropes and comes back right into Ode to the Outlaw! JC drops down on top of Pax and hooks both of his legs as Blue Shoes moves into position for the three count and the victory at twenty eight minutes and seventeen seconds!!! }
Laura Howlett: KEETON MOVES ON TO THE FINALS!!!!
Keybo Shabaz: That was absolutely incredible.
Laura Howlett: Normally I try to dig at some of the wrestlers but that was possibly the best match in the history of Sacrifice.
Keybo Shabaz: Both men gave it absolutely everything they have and it really could have gone either way.
Laura Howlett: I honestly thought Pax had this match won. Pax seemed to know everything Keeton was going to do before he did it but JC managed to weather the storm and just found that perfect shot.
Keybo Shabaz: You could run this match back a hundred times and Iām willing to bet theyād break even.
Laura Howlett: Absolutely. I canāt believe Iām agreeing with you Keybo but we will see this match again and it will be for a title.
Keybo Shabaz: I couldnāt agree more. The future is bright for IWF!
Laura Howlett: Well that is all for us! Enjoy hour two and the second of the semi finals matches!
-------------------------------------
HOUR TWO
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Hi guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! Isn't this exciting? Ella and I are back again for Hour two of Friday night! Excited as always to be here, right Ella?
Ella Kelley: I mean, thereās some pretty good matches on the card.
Summer Thompson: Well, let's get into it!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Alex Blade vs El Grande Malo
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Next we have a bit of a special treat!
Ella Kelley: is it a special treat? Iām not convinced
Summer Thompson: donāt be a poor sport.
{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. }
Ella Kelley: Malo seems in a good mood for tonight.
Summer Thompson: heās always in the same mood? How can you tell?
{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. }
Ella Kelley: Alex looks determined.
Summer Thompson: One would hope he would be.
{Malo and Alex unleash on each other. They both put their all into the match with Malo getting the upper hand and pinning him for the 1 2 3! }
Ella Kelley: thatā¦ that happened.
Summer Thompson: Way to go Malo!
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Shelly Diamond vs Zelda Simpson
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Next we have another match of Shelly. Sheās been great here and Iām excited to see what she does tonight.
Ella Kelley: Zelda is here too.
Summer Thompson: Youāre not wrong.
{The Final Fantasy X version of "The Prelude" kicks in as Zelda Simpson strolls into the arena, playing Pokemon GO on her iPhone 12 -- much to the crowd's laughter. Once she approaches the ring, an attendant calmly reminds her that it's time to wrestle...so she gently hands him the gadget and prepares to wait for her opposition. }
Ella Kelley: I wonder if thereās any good PokĆ©mon around here?
Summer Thompson: There arenāt, trust me.
{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. }
Ella Kelley: Shelly looks hot as fuck tonight.
Summer Thompson: I thought you had a crush on Wraith?
Ella Kelley: I can appreciate many different people.
{Shelly moves as soon as the bell goes off and hits Zelda with a THE FENIX DIES pinning Zelda for the one two three! }
Ella Kelley: Woo! Go Shelly!
Summer Thompson: She kicked ass!
-------------------------------------
HANDI CAP MATCH
Eternity and Jess Reed vs The Demon Phoenix(Tara Fenix)
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Tara asked for all three members of the Dark Triad. She only got two of them. How do you think this is going to play out?
Ella Kelley: Someone is going to get fucked up, is how thatās going to happen.
Summer Thompson: ā¦ I mean, likely.
{There is a flickering of the lights, and the buzzing of electricity before they all go out.
Ding dong
I know you can hear me
Open up the door
I only want to play a little
Ding dong
You can't keep me waiting
It's already too late
For you to try and run away
The piano melody is playing in the background, and the blue spotlight that has been the beckoning call to display Tara Fenix for the longest time is shining on the curtain to await her arrival, but the light itself is flickeringā¦ the lights finally do come back up, giving a red hue to the arena for the exception of the blue spotlight which is still flickering. Tara, rather than walking from behind the curtains, comes out from the side of the stage signified by the crowd going into a frenzy where they spot her; her make-up is smeared across her face for the exception of war paint surrounding her eyes. She does not blink. She does not play to the crowd. She has the studded baseball bat held in one hand and stretched across her back as her other arm is lying on it to hold it in balanceā¦ her hands are wearing metal skeletal gloves with the claw tapping against the bat, and finally, the chain is wrapped around her. She walks down the side of the ramp as many fans are stretching their hands out for her.
Ding dong
Here I come to find you
Hurry up and run
Let's play a little game and have fun
Ding dong
Where is it you've gone to?
Do you think you've won?
Our game of hide and seek has just begun
Tara swings the bat out from around her back and taps it against the turnbuckle a few times while walking around the far side of the ring and as she reaches the commentating table, she slides under the bottom rope and sits up on her knees with a wicked smile on her face. The crowd is still cheering for her, and a āphoenixā chant breaks out amongst the crowd causing her to smile to grow wider.
Knock knock
I am at your door now
I am coming in
No need for me to ask permission
Knock knock
I'm inside your room now
Where is it you've hid?
Our game of hide and seek's about to end
Back to her feet, Tara points the bat at the nearest camera before walking toward it and lays it across the top rope; she leans herself against it and shares a few words with the camera. āYou canāt hide from me,ā she says and rubs her cheek against the bat, āYou canāt hide.ā she repeats. Depending on the match, the referee will take away her tools and she will wait for the match to begin. }
Ella Kelley: The Demon Phoenix looks bad ass as hell. I think this is the first time we are seeing this side of her and I am honestly hyped to see how it goes.
Summer Thompson: Itāsā¦ Itās different, thatās for sure.
{The lights in the arena go out as "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and the crowd go nuts. Strobe lighting begins to flash in various colours around the arena as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain to a standing ovation. She smile and waves to the fans before steadying herself for a gentle sprint to the ring, slapping the hands of fans as she goes much to their delight. Reaching the ring steps she climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle and continues to wave the crowd, pumping them up even more before hopping down into the ring. }
Ella Kelley: Jess looking just happy to be here. She looks ready to go. Here she has to feel pretty secure in a victory. I mean, Eternity has been her number one fan since the gates opened.
Summer Thompson: I canāt imagine sheās worried about much.
{The lights die suddenly.
Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaahaa...
The soft chilling female laughter changes the atmosphere in the arena completely before the soft opening keys lead a procession of bright white starlights to twinkle in time with them. As more time passes, drums march alongside the keys. After a short while, the heavier instruments take over in leading the procession. Over a minute passes before the lyrics to āDeath Incarnateā by Eleine begin to herald her arrival. The lights shift, as the stars are extinguished, replaced by sombre blue strobe lights, which provide just enough illumination for us to see the purple coloured smoke slowly gathering to cloud the entranceway.
Eternity emerges from within the cloud of colourful smoke. The Womenās World Championship hung from around her neck, a slackened but ornate noose. There is a mixed reaction from the adults, but the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a white hat and veil over her face. Her head bowed, in remembrance of all those that have fallen before her as she seems to lightly bounce halfway down the ramp.
She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled white hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it.
She then skips to the middle of the ring, lifts the red and gold weight from around her neck and shoulders and falls to her knees, keeping her head bowed for a moment and her eyes closed. She tilts her head back, lifts the World up towards the sky in her right hand and slowly opens her eyes to the Heavens, mouthing āGone But Never Forgotten.ā This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away. }
Ella Kelley: This spooky chick always gives me the creeps.
Summer Thompson: But Tara you find Danger hot?
Ella Kelley: Iām a complicated person.
{ The match starts off pretty one sides. Jess and Eternity are working together, hitting The Demon with everything they have. There seems to be no slowing down for them, but Tara keeps getting back up everything. Jess hits Tara with a Duck Face and holds her for Eternity to get a hit in. Eternity goes a move but Tara seems to flicker out of place at the last minute causing Eternity to hit Jess. }
Ella Kelley: Holy Shit!
Summer Thompson: Not Good.
{Eternity stops to check on Jess, to reassure her it was not on purpose. Tara appears behind her and hits her with a Phoenix Wings! Tara pins her for the 123!! As her music plays Tara grabs a mic and almost hisses into it. }
Tara Fenix: GIVE ME ROWAN!

SEGMENT
Who is the IWF Men's World Champion?
-------------------------------------
{ The lights go out for a brief moment and the introductory riff to āRaise Your Hornsā by Amon Amarth is already blasting through the PA! The crowd goes into an absolute frenzy right before Ulf can emerge from behind the curtains with the IWF World Championship held high over his head, and he shouts as he walks to the stage putting the belt on full display to the crowd. With his other arm, he pounds it against his chest but the crowd is drowning out every other sound in the building. }
Summer Thompson: Not one person is in their seat for the arrival of the new Menās World Champion!
{ Ulf takes a step back from the stage and pounds his chest again then reaches his hand down and brings up his drinking horn. He pours the beverage that was inside down the hatch, creating quite a mess at the top of the ramp before taking wide strides down the ramp whilst bringing the championship to his shoulder. He walks near the edge to greet as much of the Ulfpack that he can, and even stops to take a few selfies with the audience. }
Summer Thompson: Can you believe what he has accomplished in less than a year?! The greatest IWF World Television Champion in history, and the NEW IWF Menās World Champion?! This kid is unbelievable!
Ella Kelley: Donāt forget that he left the IWF for a couple of years because it was too tough for him.
Summer Thompson: Oh, please! Heās at the top of the company, and the top of his game!
{ After meeting and greeting with several of the fans, Ulf continues his way down to the ringside areaā¦ He is still stopping to meet many of the fans, and still taking pictures, but he does finally make his way to the announce table. }
Ella Kelley: What? No! NO!
Summer Thompson: {Squeals. } ME?!
Ulf Hednir: Ja!
Summer Thompson: Oh, gosh! Ella, can you?
Ella Kelley: NO!
{ Summer shrugs, and holds her own phone out while taking a selfie with the new World Champion. Ulf holds the horn and the belt out toward the camera with an arm around Summer while posing for the picture! Summer gives Ulf one more giant hug before returning to her seat, and professionalism. }
Summer Thompson: That was great! Heās so nice!
Ella Kelley: We have jobs here. This is our job. Okay?
Summer Thompson: Jeez. Just a little fun.
{ Ulf takes a microphone from one of the crew at ringside before sliding under the bottom rope, and picks up the World Championship as he gets to his feet. He raises his arms into the air, a celebration for his win from last week before the crowd is already starting their series of chants. Inside of the ring, Ulf is pacing back and forth as the fans are alternating their chants; they chant āUlfā at first, then shift into āskĆ„lā, and finallyā¦ Just as Ulf begins the hand gesture that represented The Lost Boys in the movie Hook, and ābangarangā the crowd burst into the ābangarangā chant. He shrugs up his shoulder that has the championship draped over it, and is grinning from ear to earā¦ He raises the microphone in his hand, and takes the belt from his shoulder with the other, letting his eyes gaze upon the beauty as if in pure majesty, and finally speaking to the crowd for the first time since becoming the IWF Menās World Champion. The crowd finally begins to die down with their cheers. }
Ulf Hednir: Members of de Ulfpack--
{ He said before raising the championship now, and showing it out to the crowd, as it shimmered and gleamed from the way the light reflected off of its plate; his nameplate was already on it. }
Ulf Hednir: Vi! Have done it!
{ The crowd goes into an absolute frenzy, and the ābangarangā chant floods throughout the arena a second time making it damn near impossible to hear anything; the viewers at home could barely hear what the commentators were saying. }
Summer Thompson: This crowd is on absolute fire! And I love it! BANGARANG! BANGARANG! BANGARANG!
Ella Kelley: Will you shush up--
{ It didnāt seem possible, but the crowd got louder and Ella Kelleyās voice was completely drowned out by their chant that Summer Thompson had joined in with and even pumping her fist into the air with the crowd. Ulf is standing in the center of the ring and merely basking in the adoration that the fans are giving to him. He mouths the word ātakkā several times while nodding his head in appreciation of the Ulfpack. With the championship still held high overhead, Ulf continued talking, speaking boldly. }
Ulf Hednir: FINALLY! De IWF World Championship has come to de Ulfpack! FINALLY! After three long years of wanting disse gold-- not wanting anything less-- vi captured it! Ogā¦ FINALLYā¦ Dere--
{ Ulf spun slowly in a circle, pointing out to the crowd with his hand that still held the microphone before pulling it back and raising it back to his lips to resume. }
Ulf Hednir: All of DERE er going to see disse championship--
{ He had stopped spinning, and slung the belt back over his shoulder before holding his hand steady. It was relatively high, about to his shoulder. }
Ulf Hednir: GĆ„ from hereā¦ To--
{ And he raised his hand over the top of his own head, stretching it out as far as he can. }
Ulf Hednir: To here!
{ And he brought his arm back down, letting his arm hold the belt securely to his shoulder. }
Ulf Hednir: Warren Kane-- He was a great champion. He fought those det came to him og did not deny, butā¦ det is not how jeg er going to do things. All of dere remember hva jeg did with de IWF World Television Championship, ja? Jeg took de championship-- og jeg raised de bar! Now min good friend, JC Keeton, is keeping de championship elevated! JC Keeton is trying to raise det bar! DET is hva jeg er looking to do with de World Championship! DET is hva jeg er GOING TO DO with de World Championship.
{ One of the cameramen are standing on the apron, and Ulf walks closest to those ropes before reaching across and ensuring the camera is getting a good look in his eyes. }
Ulf Hednir: Jeg er going to not only be willing to accept any challengeā¦ Jeg er going to look for every challenge. Vi vil obviously start with Caleb since he wanted to make his presence known last week, so Calebā¦ look at min eyes--
{ He raised two of his fingers up and pointed into his eyes. }
Ulf Hednir: Any time. Anywhere. Du cash in det Joker in de Pack, og du can wait for de opportune moment-- or du can fight me mann til mann-- but either vei, du come for disse belt, du er going to get a WOLF fighting to keep it! Du er going to have an ANIMAL fighting against du! SKĆ
L!
Crowd: SKĆ
L!
Ulf Hednir: As for everybody else in de backā¦ Please.
{ Ulf takes a step back, and lays the World Championship down at his feet before spreading his arms out in a challenging fashion. }
Ulf Hednir: PLEASE! Step up! PLEASE! Abraxes-- JC-- WARREN-- Tytus-- Stephen Terrella-- Jeg challenge any of dere! Any of dere det wish to step into de ringe for a shot at disseā¦
{ He leans down to pick the championship back up, and holds it out to the camera. }
Ulf Hednir: OG KNOW! DET JEG! ACCEPT!
{ "Raise Your Horns" comes back over the PA while Ulf stands in the center of the ring. He does another gesture for "bangarang" and is met with the crowd's response by chanting as the scene goes out for a commercial break. }

HEIR TO THE THRONE SEMI FINALS
SINGLES MATCH
Wraith vs Roberto Verona
-------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Welcome back to Friday Night Sacrifice! Next up it is your main event! And it is the final semi finals match up in the Heir to the Throne!
Vasco Dias: Terri, I could not be more excited for this match up. Our founder and owner has returned to the ring, gone undefeated and now he is only two matches away from wrestling for the Menās World title!
Terri Morasco: You could say the same for Wraith who has only suffered one loss since laying out Angel Blake during his debut. Wraith is just two matches from accomplishing what it took his mother eight years to do. Wrestle for an IWF World title!
Vasco Dias: This is huge! We are about to witness the founding father do battle with the inheritor of his empire!
Terri Morasco: Letās ge to it!
{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 ā in unison, the crowd letās out a heavy gasp. He tilts his head back and forth, eyeing the crowd, while waiting for the match to begin. }
{ 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. }
Terri Morasco: It seems weāve got a mixed crowd tonight! Both men have their fans and their detractors!
Vasco Dias: Forget about the crowd reaction, we are about to witness history! Roberto Verona is arguably the best wrestler this company has ever known and Wraith? Well, he has the breeding to become just that.
Terri Morasco: A win here solidifies Wraith as the absolute future of the company!
{ Blue Shoes checks with both men before calling for the bell. Wraith and Verona come out of their corners and Wraith goes right in for a tie up. Verona quickly drops behind Wraith and goes for a rear waistlock takedown. Verona drops Wraith but instead of pressing the advantage he simply stands up. }
Terri Morasco: Verona showing off his technical skills and experience here.
Vasco Dias: I donāt think allowing Wraith to get to his feet is a great idea.
Terri Morasco: Weāll see how it plays out.
{ Verona moves in now for a tie up and once again Verona drops behind Wraith with a rear waistlock. Verona kicks the leg out from under Wraith and moves into a rear chinlock but Wraith grabbed the top of Veronaās head as he went down and nailed a front facing jawbreaker on Verona! }
Terri Morasco: Smart move by Wraith!
Vasco Dias: I havenāt seen that before!
{ Wraith spins right to his feet and charges in with a front dropkick that sends Verona spilling through the ropes onto the apron. Wraith is right up again as he heads to the apron as well. Verona is pulling himself up but Wraith jumps up for a hurricanrana that sends Verona flying off the apron and onto the arena floor! }
Terri Morasco: Wraith is taking control here!
Vasco Dias: That jawbreaker seems to have staggered Verona!
{ Verona is just starting to get up off the padded floor but Wraith has already climbed to the top rope. As Verona turns to see where Wraith is, Wraith comes off the top rope to the outside with Whisper in the Wind and crashes into Verona! }
Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!
Terri Morasco: Whisper in the Wind to the outside!
Vasco Dias: That was insane!
{ Wraith is somehow right up and grabs ahold of Verona. Wraith throws Verona back into the ring and then rolls in after him. Wraith makes the cover but Verona kicks right out at two as Blue Shoes hops back to his feet. Wraith peels Verona up off the mat. Verona comes back to life with a Snap Suplex on Wraith! }
Vasco Dias: Snap suplex by Verona!
Terri Morasco: Smart move by the boss!
{ Wraith starts to sit up but Verona bounces off the ropes to connect with a nasty knee to the face of Wraith! Verona then grabs Wraith and pulls him up and into an inverted brainbuster! Verona makes the cover and hooks the leg of Wraith but itās only a two count as Wraith gets his shoulder up! }
Vasco Dias: Are you kidding me!?
Terri Morasco: I thought it was over myself!
Vasco Dias: Blue Shoes is off his count tonight!
{ Verona pulls Wraith up and back to his feet. Verona sets up a swinging neckbreaker but Wraith pushes him off. Wraith comes in from behind and hits a big time Samoan drop! Verona tries to get right back to his feet but Wraith hits a Genocide Kick! Wraith then grabs Verona with a underhook suplex! Wraith makes the cover now but itās just a two count as Verona kicks out! }
Terri Morasco: I thought that was three!
Vasco Dias: It was close but not close enough!
Terri Morasco: Iām not sure Verona was fully prepared for this match up!
Vasco Dias: Oh he is prepared!
{ Wraith pulls Verona up but Roberto hits a jumping knee strike to the face! Verona then fires off the Silencer Kick! With Wraith staggered, Verona comes in with a Chokeslam Backbreaker! Verona is feeling confident as he pulls Wraith back up instead of pinning him and connects with the Brainwasher DDT! Verona now covers Wraith but it is still only a two count! }
Vasco Dias: Are you kidding me!?
Terri Morasco: Verona is pulling out ever move from his play book but it just isnāt enough to fall the son of Fenix!
Vasco Dias: Oh it will be. It will be.
{ Roberto pushes himself up and decides to step back as Wraith staggers his way up. Roberto comes in with Madame Guillotine but Wraith ducks it! Wraith connects with a Genocide Kick! Wraith then grabs Verona and hits Shiranui! Wraith runs to the corner and runs his way up the turnbuckles, hitting another Whisper in the Wind! }
Terri Morasco: Whisper in the Wind! If Wraith hits the Howling it is all over!
Vasco Dias: I donāt believe this!
{ Wraith is lining up his shot as Verona is clearly struggling to get back up but as Verona reaches his feet the lights in the arena go out! }
Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
Terri Morasco: I canāt see anything!?
{ The lights come back and in the place of Roberto Verona is ANGEL BLAKE!!! }
Terri Morasco: Itās ANGEL BLAKE!!!!
Vasco Dias: I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!!!!
Terri Morasco: HE IS VERY ALIVE!!!
{ Wraith looks shocked then straightens up and charges in to fight but the lights go out again! }
Vasco Dias: What the hell is going on!?
Terri Morasco: I donāt know!
{ The lights return and Wraith is by himself in the ring. Wraith looks all around and then Verona pops up behind him. Verona spins the unsuspecting Wraith around and hoists him up for IDES OF MARCH!!! Roberto Verona covers Wraith and Blue Shoes is right there for the ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: And your winnerā¦ ROBERTO VERONA!!!!
{ Verona stands up quickly and demands Blue Shoes raise his hand as Wraith rolls out of the ring. }
Terri Morasco: Roberto Verona moves on to the Heir to the Throne finals to take on JC Keeton but alsoā¦ Angel Blake is backā¦
Vasco Dias: Not only that. Blake is hunting for Wraith.
Terri Morasco: With all three members of the Powers that Be back what does that mean for the youth movement in Iwf!?
Vasco Dias: I think we are going to find out next week when Roberto Verona takes on JC Keeton.
Terri Morasco: I canāt wait. For Vasco Dias, I am Terri Morasco! And we will see you next week!
{ We close on Verona celebrating his win on the turnbuckles while Wraith stands on the outside, noticeably upset and mouthing the word āAngelā. }
Well howdy there pardner.
