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: Itâs Friday night and you know what that means! Keybo Shabaz is one day closer to cardiac arrest!
Keybo Shabaz: I donât appreciate how specific that was.
Laura Howlett: And I donât care. My name is Laura Howlett! I am the host of Friday Night Sacrifice and this man besides me who I often have to apologize for is Keybo Shabaz!
Keybo Shabaz: Thatâs a lie, you never apologize.
Laura Howlett: Very true, itâs on my family crest!
Keybo Shabaz: Welcome to IWF Presents: Friday Night Sacrifice! Weâve got another stacked card for you tonight as the Olympians Mixed Tag Team Tournament continues!
Laura Howlett: We have another big debut as well as my client, Tytus Rost in action against Johnny Somebody!
Keybo Shabaz: And we will see the fallout from the Womenâs World Championship match last week that ended in a sixty minute time limit draw!
Laura Howlett: The first one in the history of Sacrifice!
Keybo Shabaz: Itâll be interesting to see what happens next.
Laura Howlett: But now itâs time for our first match of the evening! The Kidds are Alright take on Caroline Machado and Nick Knight in Olympians action!
Keybo Shabaz: Letâs head to the ring!
-------------------------------------
OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH GROUP B
Dawn Haliwell and Warren Kane vs Caroline Machado and Nick Knight
-------------------------------------
{ This Means War by Five Finger Death Punch hits the PA to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Nick Knight steps out onto the ramp and there is a very audible âKnight! Knight! Knight!â chant among the crowd. Nick makes his way toward the ring, runs up the steps and climbs ready in ready for a fight. }
"Her ongoing mission...to boldly go where no one has gone before..."
{ The voice of Sir Patrick Stewart echoes throughout the arena before Dua Lipa's "Levitating" begins to blare. A blast a pyro goes off as Caroline Machado heads out to the stage, dancing to the beat of the tune while sporting a brief, but warmhearted grin on her face. }
"(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
(I'm levitating)
You, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
(I'm levitating)"
{ The Brazilian shimmies and twirls down the ramp, often stopping to give some lucky fans a hug or two. Her motion is fluid as she makes her way down to the ring, again dancing to the beats. }
"You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I'm levitating)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)..."
{ The lights fade out to a rotating green and yellow hue, with Caroline continuing to dance and pose for the cheering crowd. Eventually, the lights come back on as she gets into her MMA fighting position and waits for the match to start. }
{Lights dim as the opening riffs to Shoot to Thrill hit, and flashes of white light begin to pulse along with the music as it picks up pace. The stage fills with dry ice as Dawn steps out from backstage, smiling manically and rocking out to the music. She points to the crowd and tries to get them pumped up. When the chorus hits, she raises her fists in the air as she lets out a shout of excitement punctuated by a blast of simple white pyro around her. She holds that pose until the second iteration of "Shoot to Thrill" in the chorus, at which point she charges into the ring and slides in, spinning with the momentum to her feet as she urges the crowd to get to their feet and rock along with her. After a few moments she will settle into her corner.}
{The lights go out and the snow steady beat of New Divide by Linkin Park plays and the crowd gives a good cheer for Warren Kane as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face. He then heads towards the ring, stopping to touch hands with members of the crowd before stopping in front of the ring. Closes his eyes, takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms in the air getting a positive reaction from the crowd. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Laura Howlett: I am very much looking forward to this match. Nick Knight and Warren Kane in my opinion is a future Night of the Immortals main event and we are getting a taste of it here.
Keybo Shabaz: And what about Caroline and Dawn?
Laura Howlett: Dawn is great, sheâs got big things ahead of her.
Keybo Shabaz: And Caroline?
Laura Howlett: Letâs go to the match.
{ Things kicked off with Knight and Kane in the ring. Knight was taking the early command in the match with his strong style using a a wrist clutch exploder on Warren. Warren tried to fire back but Knight seemed ready for the burst of speed with a raging headbutt. Knight continued to over power Warren as the match carried on with a La La Land suplex. Knight would go for a cover but Dawn was happy to drop a knee across the back of Knightâs neck. Warren then began a comeback with a jumping knee strike and a swinging neckbreaker. Warren would then make the tag to Dawn so he could recover.
Dawn came in like a wrecking ball hitting muay thai knee strikes on Caroline. Caroline did her best to counter the offense and even studdered Dawn with a very hard elbow strike but Dawn would press on with that Kane determination and hit a Tiger suplex. Caroline wasnât ready to give up and mounted a comeback at this point with a strike centered offense that Dawn did her best to defend against. Caroline feigned a jab and then grabbed Dawn with the Service Ace. Caroline would cover but Dawn kicked out at two. Both women got back to their fight and a strike war ensued that eventually ended with Dawn hitting Ride the Lightning. Dawn would cover Caroline but Caroline would kick out at two. Dawn would pull Caroline up at this point but Caroline would hit the Six Pack Spike and then roll to the other side of the ring to tag Knight back in.
Knight raged into the ring looking for a lunging lariat but Warren would get underneath it and drop Knight with the Splosion. Knight wouldnât stay down as he fought his way to his feet and drove Warren back across the ring. Knight raged with brutal strike based offense as Warren did his best to protect himself. Knight would heave Warren out of the corner with t-bone suplex but Warren would get right back up and drill Knight with a shotgun dropkick! Warren would then rage back at Knight, lighting up his chest with knife edge chops before taking him down with a snapmare and a kick to the back of Nickâs head. Warren would press the advantage looking for the STO but Knight fought his way out of it. Knight would fight back and hit Warren with Welcome to Hollywood before staggering to his corner to tag Caroline back in.
Caroline hit the ring with fire and scoop slam Dawn as soon as she entered. Then Caroline followed up with a bulldog. Caroline felt the wing beneath her wings now as she continued to fight forward and working Dawn over. Eventually Caroline went for Dig! Dig! Dig! But Dawn fought her way out of it and connected with an arm drag. Dawn then resorted to her mma skills and got Caroline to the mat where she began to work her over some more. Dawn would go for Living Dead Girl but Caroline was able to block the attempt. Both women would reach their feet but Dawn connected with a jaw shattering knee strike before dropping Caroline with Symphony of Destruction! Dawn would cover here and Warren would block Knight from entering the ring as Dawn scored the three count for the win at fifteen minutes and sixteen seconds! }
Keybo Shabaz: Now THAT was a match! Holy cow!
Laura Howlett: Dawn, Warren, Nick and Caroline just showed the whole world what the Olympians tournament is all about! The best mixed tag team wrestling on the face of the earth!
Keybo Shabaz: That was fantastic! I could watch them fight each other every week!
Laura Howlett: But unfortunately we canât and need to take a break! We will see you after this!

SINGLES MATCH
Johnny Somebody vs Tytus Rost
-------------------------------------
Laura Howlett: Welcome back! Next up weâve got my client, Tytus Rost taking on Johnny Somebody and let me just say, this is going to be something special. Tytus is going to throw this little shit into the tenth row!
Keybo Shabaz: Youâre pretty confident.
Laura Howlett: Why shouldnât I be? This is basically a warm up for Tytus. He doesnât even need to warm up for Johnny Somebody.
Keybo Shabaz: That may be a mistake, Johnny is better than youâre giving him credit for.
Laura Howlett: I doubt that, letâs head to the ring!
{ We see highlights of both Johnny Somebody and Tytus Rost coming to the ring.
The match kicked off with Johnny trying to out speed Tytus. Johnny out maneuvers Tytus all throughout the opening minutes of the match. Everytime Tytus moves in to grapple with Johnny, Johnny uses those little legs to bolt around Tytus and lay in some kicks. Johnny starts to feel good now and drops behind Tytus on high kick attempt and goes for a German suplex but Tytus easily stuffs the attempt. Tytus then drills Johnny with a back elbow. Tytus then unleashed the offense on Johnny Somebody. Tytus chucked Johnny with a release German suplex. Tytus then hit a thrust kick and then a release overhead belly to belly suplex. Johnny would try to fight back with some strikes but at this point Tytus was in control and just heaved Johnny with a nasty looking release Dragon suplex. Johnny would find his feet and hit Tytus with a couple of strikes but they were not affecting Tytus at this point. Tytus would pick Johnny up and look for the running powerslam but Johnny would slip off his back. Johnny would stomp the back of Tytusâ knee and then connect with a leaping knee strike. Johnny would then drill Tytus in the corner with shoulder thrusts before pulling Tytus out for a sheer drop brainbuster. Johnny would cover but it was only a two count as Tytus nearly threw Johnny across the ring with a kick out. Johnny would come back fast but now Tytus grabbed him for the snap powerslam! Tytus would go back to work turning Johnny into a heavy bag as he just threw him around the ring over and over again. To cap things off Tytus hit the Ursa Major but the cover only got Tytus a two count as Johnny somehow kicked out. Tytus started to get frustrated at this point and went for a standing side kick but Johnny slipped under Tytus and grabbed him with a backslide pin when Berrick OâMurphy ran into the ring to break up the pinfall a millimeter before the three count giving Johnny the DQ victory at ten minutes and twelve seconds. After the match Tytus grabbed Johnny and hit him with Rasputinâs Will. Tytus also took out the referee with a running powerslam before heading to the back with Berrick. }
Keybo Shabaz: Well that was interesting.
Laura Howlett: Shut up Keybo.
Keybo Shabaz: Iâm just saying that was interesting.
Laura Howlett: Shut up! Berrick did what he had to do in the situation! Tytus had Johnny dead to rights and if we ran this match back 100 times, Tytus would win 99.5 times!
Keybo Shabaz: But he didnât win tonight.
Laura Howlett: Letâs head to the hour one main event before I beat the cholesterol out of you!
Keybo Shabaz: Next up The Infamous Academy takes on Mariah Cutler and Jason Williams! Stay tuned!
-------------------------------------
OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH GROUP A
Rob Diamond and Fiona McFly vs Mariah Cutler and Jason Williams
-------------------------------------
{ The lights in the arena go dim but they do not go completely out. The crowd waits in anticipation when the opening riff of Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood hits. The entire arena screams out as one as the graphics on the screen show some of the many highlights of the career of Rob Diamond. The lights in the arena start to strobe pink as the second, third, fourth and fifth riffs all hit with pink pyro launching out of the stage and just as the lyrics kick in, Rob Diamond steps out to a huge ovation! The crowd is chanting "ROB! ROB! ROB!" as Diamond throws the X up over his head before heading down the ramp. Rob makes it a point to slap hands with the fans at either side of the lower end of the ramp and then makes his way around the ring, even stopping to grab a picture with a young boy dressed like Dean Harper. Rob finally makes his way into the ring via the ring steps and runs across to the far corner, jumping up and throwing the X up over his head again as a pink pyro X launches on top of the ramp! }
Alison Valance: Introducing, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he is the BLOOD SOAKED CINDERELLA OF PRO WRESTLING!!! ROB DIAMOND!!!!
{ After the introduction, Rob spins off the ropes and falls back into one of the corners of the ring, kicking up his legs to rest on the second rope and looks quite relaxed. }
{ A video package begins playing to a rock-remix version of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," showing a montage of Fiona McFly at various stages of her life including home movie footage of the famous 1994 go-kart race in the Texas Hill Country. We see photos of Fiona from her high school and college graduation ceremonies until we finally see an image of her standing next to the late Jack Gaither on their wedding day. The black-and-white photo fades down into a distorted image as the initial tune becomes slowed down, like a phonograph. Then... }
"ONE! TWO!!
ONE-TWO!!!
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!!!!"
{ ...a blast of pyro goes off as the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I) kicks into high gear. We see Fiona hopping onto the stage with a rugged smile on her face, looking around at the cheering crowd as she twirls a replica of her trusty bullwhip around and around. }
"Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
That say you fail the test
You don't have what she needs
I'll slither like a viper
And get you by the neck
I know a thousand ways to help you forget about her
That chick can eat her heart out
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites..."
{ She strolls down the rampway, hugging and high-fiving folks along the way before handing the replica whip to a child as a souvenir. }
{ After allowing the guitar instrumental to play out for a short while Jason takes to the stage, soaking all of the atmosphere in; the lights, the fans, the noise. He slaps a few hands as he makes his way to the ring, not so much that he goes out of his way to do so but he's not going to actively ignore people. He climbs the steel steps and walks the apron for a moment, glancing once more at the fans before entering the ring through the middle rope. He'll take position in the centre and stare at the hard-cam, hands clasped behind his back, as he prepares for battle. }
{"In your town to...in your town to...in your town to...NIIIIGHT!"
As the thudding grime beat and synth chorus of "Big for Your Boots" pump through the PA, Mariah Cutler struts out of the back, checking her wrist tape with an expression of disdain on her face. She sighs, nodding, and walks down to the ring, eyes slightly unfocused as if thinking past the moment. Hopping onto the apron, she pulls herself up to a standing position, wipes her shoes on the ring apron, and steps between the ropes, walking to the far set and looping her arms over the top rope. Mariah bounces back once, twice, three times, not letting go to check the tension, and nods, straightening up before walking to her corner and waiting there.}
Laura Howlett: I still donât understand what the hell Rob Diamond seeâs in Fiona McFly?
Keybo Shabaz: Sheâs a multi time champion and someone who is worthy of the hall of fame?
Laura Howlett: But sheâs Irish?
Keybo Shabaz: And?
Laura Howlett: And!? Isnât that enough!?
Keybo Shabaz: Twitter is going to love you this week.
Laura Howlett: Who cares about Twitter!? Hopefully Jason and Mariah will beat the booze out of Fiona and open Robâs eyes to her dirty celtic ways.
Keybo Shabaz: Match time!
{ We kicked things off with Fiona and Mariah in the ring. Cutler was quick to ground Fiona with her technical ability, immediately trying to work over Fionaâs left leg in preparation for Cutlerâs Canary Clutch. Fiona would fight her way back to her feet and catch Cutler with some striking offense that would give her some breathing room but Cutler brought her down again with a drop toe hold. Cutler went back to work on the left leg but Fiona would find her footing again five minutes into the match and visibly frustrated. Fiona would create some distance with a deep arm drag takedown on Cutler. Cutler would snap back but Fiona was able to lean on her mma striking ability now to keep Mariah on the defense. Fiona would go for a scoop slam but that left leg wasnât having it and Cutler tried to roll her up into a heel hook. Fiona would break free to tag in Rob.
Rob and Jason would enter the ring and go right into a tie up. Jason took control quickly with a rear waistlock and looked to drop Rob to the mat. Rob would hold his ground and reverse the hold and go for his own takedown but Jason stuffed the attempt. The two would then break off from the tie ups and both men moved to their striking offense. Jason would catch Rob with a big European Upper cut and Rob would counter with a Fist Full OâDemocracy. The striking exchange continued with neither man giving up an inch until Jason hit the Flying Knee to the Gut followed right up with Seeing Stars. It seemed like Jason was going to get the three count there but Fiona broke it up. Cutler re entered the ring but Fiona would grab her with the Iron Claw!
At this point the match broke down a little as the referee tried to regain control. Fiona and Mariah battled inside the ring while Rob and Jason continued jockeying for control. Eventually Fiona and Mariah took themselves out of the ring over the top rope. Rob connected with a Hip Toss and a Five Knuckle Shuffle on Jason! Rob lined up the final shot of the match and hit the Diamond Cutter for the three count and the victory at ten minutes and nineteen seconds! Fiona rejoined him in the ring to celebrate. }
Laura Howlett: Rob Diamond carries Fiona McFly to another victory.
Keybo Shabaz: Iâm pretty sure it was Fiona who saved Robâs behind in there.
Laura Howlett: Iâm pretty sure youâre an idiot.
Keybo Shabaz: Well then, tough loss for Jason and Mariah but they put on an outstanding performance.
Laura Howlett: I would love to see them stick around after the Olympians has wrapped up.
Keybo Shabaz: Me too! Now on to our next segment of the evening, the number one contenders to the tag team titles have something to say!
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
TDH address the new Tag Team Champions
-------------------------------------
{We cut backstage to Nick Hunter and Nate Harris seated on folding chairs in front of some equipment crates. Nate just shakes his head and looks to Nick.}
Nate Harris: You wanna say it?
Nick Hunter: Sure. JC Keeton? Roberto Verona?
{Nick shakes his head and clasps his hands together, bringing them up to his forehead before pointing forward at the camera.}
Nick Hunter: BOYS.
Nate Harris: We had ourselves a good old-fashioned grudge match going. But y'all gotta step in.
Nick Hunter: Violent Tendencies better be sendin' y'all fruit baskets or something, I swear.
Nate Harris: 'cause now you got that beating comin' your way.
Nick Hunter: Nothing personal. We just gotta get it out of our system.
Nate Harris: Blue-balling our violence. Shit.
{Flashing a smile, Nick stands up, Nate joining him, and they stand shoulder to shoulder, confidence rolling off of them.}
Nick Hunter: But it's all good, bossman, legacy. Y'all gonna be square with us. But, uh, it's gonna cost ya.
{He makes a quick belt gesture around his waist, and Nate takes a step forward.}
Nate Harris: No holding back even if you do sign our paychecks, Verona. And JC? I worked twinks like you before. I can do it again.
Nick Hunter: Trust.

SINGLES MATCH
1K RP Word Limit
Wraith vs Abraxes
-------------------------------------
{ The lights in the arena flicker and die as if there were some kind of power outage. As the light sounds of an acoustic guitar play, the high pitched laughter of children fills the air. A red spotlight shines on the stage as heavy smoke rolls across the floor. As opening lyrics of Monster (Under my Bed) by Call me Karizma starts to sing Abraxes rises from the center of the stage, his eyes burning out from under his mask as he stares down at the ring.
The rhythm of the song changes from a twisted lullaby do a grinding rock song just as he rises to his full height. Abraxes glares around at the audience before he walks down the ramp, focused on the ring in front of him. He crawls into the ring, exaggerated movements of his hands and legs to appear more like a creepy spider then a man. He rolls to his feet, holding his arms into the air as the lullaby starts anew. }
{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 â in unison, the crowd letâs out a heavy gasp. He tilts his head back and forth, eyeing the crowd, while waiting for the match to begin.}
Laura Howlett: I am incredibly excited to see this match, Keybo!
Keybo Shabaz: Abraxes is someone you always have to watch out for, heâs an absolute threat to anyone at anytime.
Laura Howlett: Wraith is for sure going to have his hands full tonight!
{ Wraith started this match up trying to feel Abraxes out. Wraith would lay in some foot strikes here and there, gauging Abraxesâ willingness to unleash himself. After the opening moments passed, Wraith would come in looking for a side headlock but Abraxes quickly over power Wraith with a dumping German suplex! Wraith would get right back to his feet but now Abraxes was on the offense with a succession of shoulder blocks, each one knocking Wraith off his feet. After the fifth one, Wraith hit the ropes for some momentum but Abraxes was ready for it with a high angle back body drop! Abraxes didnât go for the pin, instead choosing to pull Wraith up to his feet which gave Wraith the opening for a sitout jawbreaker. Wraith would then connect with three Genocide kicks in a row to really stagger Abraxes before taking the big man off his feet with a Samoan drop. Wraith would then concentrate his efforts on the left leg of Abraxes by DDTâing the foot of Abraxes into the mat. Wraith would slam the leg down, hit a leg drop on the knee and finally a knee drop on it. Wraith attempted the Absolution but Abraxes had enough power in his right foot to kick Wraith off. Wraith would come back with a front dropkick as Abraxes stood up and this nearly sent the monster back down. Abraxes continued to fight back against Wraith when suddenly the lights went out in the arena. The low tones of the orchestra version of Gateways by Dimmu Borgir began to play. }
âDo you feel it...â
âWraith?â
âThe chill that is running down your spine?â
âThe fear welling up inside youâŚâ
âWondering when I will returnâŚâ
âSoonâŚâ
âMy dear boyâŚâ
âSoon.â
{ When the lights return we find that Wraith has been laid out. Abraxes sees the opening and is more than happy to add insult to injury when he picks Wraith up and drills him into the mat with Consign to Dream! Abraxes covers and picks up the victory at eight minutes and thirty four seconds! }
Laura Howlett: Abraxes with a huge win after another chilling message from Angel to his former step son.
Keybo Shabaz: Do you think Angel took out Wraith in the dark?
Laura Howlett: Or Abraxes did, Angel and Abraxes have worked together in the past.
Keybo Shabaz: Very true.
Laura Howlett: Well that is all for hour one but donât get anywhere! The action is about to pick up!
-------------------------------------
HOUR TWO

Summer Thompson: Good evening Guys, Gals, and nonbinary pals! We are excited to once again be here for the hour 2 of Friday night sacrifice actually airing on friday! Maybe a little later than usual but you know the important thing is that it's being taped!
Ella Kelley: I hear one of the camera guys got sick.
Summer Thompson: Or maybe some of the segments was late?
Ella Kelley: No one will ever know.

OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM
MATCH GROUP A
Stephen Terrella and Brooklyn Maddrox vs Ross Hanson and Chelsea Skye
-------------------------------------
{ Several seconds of extremely distorted amplifier feedback precede the opening notes for "School" by Nirvana. When the drums kick in, Ross Hanson steps through the curtain, head hung down and arms swinging from his sides. His eyes widen along with his grin, but suddenly Ross "snaps out of it" and quickly makes his way to the ring while making sure to slap any hand he can reach that stretches out from the crowd. }
Alison Valance: Introducing first... from Columbus, Ohio... representing the Skyeson Brand... Ross Hansonnnn!
{ Ross simply slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope, running the ropes a couple of times. }
Alison Valance: And his tag team partner, also representing Skyeson...
{ The fast guitar riff for âReborn Through Failureâ hits the speakers and once the vocals kick in Chelsea makes her way out onto the entrance ramp ready for battle. }
Alison Valance: Making her way down the aisle, from Chicago, Illinois, she is the âNightmare Angelâ Chelsea Skye!â
{ Following her ring introduction Chelsea makes her way down to the ring slapping hands with the occasional fan along the way, she enters the ring and runs the ropes as she waits for her opponent. }
Terri Morasco: I'm incredibly excited to see what this duo does their second time out here in the IWF, Vasco! They looked magnificent last week! They have quickly captured the hearts and imaginations of many of our IWF fans, and I really feel like the sky is the limit for this team in this tournament! Pun fully intended.
Vasco Dias: Oh... great, we're doing puns now. On a scale of one-to-ten, my excitement level is almost at a .5 for your verbal wit, Morasco. Almost. Let's talk about Skyeson, though... or should I say let's talk about *the* tweet Chelsea sent out to the guy that's not her boyfriend. Is this girl really going to try and say she doesn't know what her own boyfriend looks like?! Vasco Dias wasn't born yesterday!
Terri Morasco: Clearly.
Vasco Dias: Add to that she's openly cheating on Ross with someone in the business, and that sad sap in the ring there was the last person to find out! How humiliating is that?! You'd have to assume there's a rift in this team the size of the Grand Canyon right now.
Terri Morasco: Could be why I didn't mention it...
Vasco Dias: We can't sellout our journalistic integrity out here to spare Chelsea and Ross' feelings though, Morasco! We have to be brutally honest and rehash this stuff, no matter how painful it is for Skyeson! It's called tough love! Sometimes you just have to rip the bandaid off!
Alison Valance: And their opponents...
{ The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens and purple laser lights are cast upon the stage. "Forfeit" begins to blare before Terrella makes his entrance alongside Portia thirteen seconds into the song. They take a few steps before stopping to stand side-by-side on the stage, Terrella on the left and Portia on the right. She places her left hand on his right shoulder and runs her right hand down his chest and abdomen as he lowers his glasses down the bridge of his nose before turning for a kiss. }
Alison Valance: First, about to make his way down the aisle, being accompanied by Portia... standing 6'2" tall and weighing in at 309lbs... from Cold Springs, Nevada... The King of Clubs... Stephen Terrelllllla!
{ Terrella repositions his sunglasses and begins a slow walk toward the ring arm-in-arm with Portia. Fifty seconds into the song they reach the bottom of the stairs where they release arms. Terrella removes his sunglasses and vest as the song picks up in intensity, surveying the arena for a few seconds with a menacing scowl before handing his gear to Portia and charging up the stairs and into the ring. }
Alison Valance: And his tag team partner...
{ The lights in the arena fade to black as purple and white strobe lights begin to flitter about the crowd. The frantic strobe effect over the top of a drum beat stop as suddenly stops as they began. "DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGSâ blasts forth from the speakers of the arena and all spotlights turn to the top of the ramp to illuminate the figure standing there, eyes closed and head lowered. }
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 112 pounds... BROOKLYYYYYYYN MAAAAAAADROOOOOOX!
{ Brooklyn looks up, a smile on her lips as she begins her walk to the ring. She seems to glide up the ring steps before wiping her boots on the apron and stepping into the ring. She makes her way to the center of the ring, raising an arm high into the air before lowering it, finger pointed at her opponent as she refuses to break eye contact. }
Vasco Dias: It's great to see Brooklyn Madrox back in the IWF! What an amazing get as a tag team partner for Stephen and Portia! And I've got to say, I love this team!
Terri Morasco: Of course you do.
Vasco Dias: It's the perfect blend of physical tools you want from a team, and there's no question as to if they're going to get along or not out there tonight! I saw them hanging out together earlier before the show and you can just tell they're really gelling as a unit.
Terri Morasco: Scheming, no doubt. I don't like the attitude of this team at all. They hit Rob Diamond with a wrench for crying out loud! As we saw earlier, Rob was able to compete this week... but the intent behind that was absolutely heinous! I just hope Skyeson are incredibly careful in the ring against these two because there's no telling what they'll do.
{ There appears to be a bit of tension in the Skyeson corner as they talk over who will start the match, with Ross seemingly indicating he wants it. Chelsea presents her side as Terrella and Madrox stand together in their own corner, amused by the whole display unfolding before them. Chelsea finally relents and steps out, showing what has the look of some frustration with her partner tonight. Ross is still talking with Chelsea when Terrella charges over and smashes him in the back with a cheap shot from behind! }
{ Terrella puts the boots to Hanson before measuring for, and the delivering a hard headbutt to the side of Ross' skull. Terrella pulls Hanson up by the hair, telling him "You talk a lot of shit, boy." Terrella fires off a left hand into Hanson's midsection, bringing Ross up off his feet. The King shoves Ross back into the corner, pushing his head backward with a hand beneath the chin as Blue Shoes lectures Terrella. Stephen buries a few knees deep into Ross' abdomen while Hanson is trapped in the corner. Madrox makes her way over as if she is going to do something to Ross, drawing Chelsea out of the corner. Blue Shoes is forced to intercept the Nightmare Angel, and Terrella uses the opportunity to choke Ross over the top rope for what may have been a five count twice over in part thanks to Blue Shoe's attention being diverted by Chelsea's concern for Ross. }
{ Chelsea exits the ring, and Blue Shoes begins a five count now on Terrella's illegal choke. Stephen breaks on four, snapping Ross back off the rope by yanking on it. Ross holds his throat as Blue Shoes issues a stern warning to Terrella, which the King disregards by asking Blue Shoes, "what the fuck you going to do?" Portia applauds for Terrella at ringside, and then taunts the crowd by pointing to Ross in the ring and telling them that, "he is a loser, just like each and every one of you." }
Terri Morasco: Skyeson-and more specifically, Ross- just look off their game tonight. I was trying to skirt the topic earlier before you just started tearing at the scab, but the problems in their relationship are clearly real and impacting their performance here. It's a shame.
Vasco Dias: Of course they are, Morasco! How could they not!? I mean you wouldn't know because cats don't really file for divorce, but separations are nasty. People get hurt feelings. We don't even know if Hanson is sober. The last time we saw him he was drowning his sorrows and pissing on a fence. Terrella's been beating up drunks most of his life. It's just another day the office.
Terri Morasco: Will you stop... Ross is not drunk. Terrella blindsided the man, but I'm sure you'll make up some excuse for Terrella because you always do.
{ Terrella dumps Ross to the outside rather recklessly. Terrella throws his hands in the air as he goes back-and-forth with the official in an argument over his tactics. Portia seizes the opportunity to involve herself, stepping on Ross' lower back with her heel on the floor. She looks back at Ross and feigns a very insincere apology as Chelsea charges over, sending Portia fleeing; but Brooklyn drops down off the apron and catches Chelsea rushing in with a forearm strike. Chelsea lands against the barricade in a seated position, and Brooklyn performs a low dropkick on her as the Philadelphia crowd boos. }
{ Terrella stands in the center of the ring and flips off the Philly faithful with both hands as Blue Shoes tries to regain some order, telling Madrox she has to go back to her corner. Ross crawls in the ring, and Terrella catches him with a kick. Hanson starts to fire up, though. Terrella kicks Hanson again, and by now it's clear the emotions from the week and the match have started to boil over in Ross. Terrella goes for a third kick, but Hanson blocks it. Ross regains his feet, holding Terrella's leg and forcing the King to try to hop on one foot. }
{ Ross drives an elbow into Terrella's leg, then catches him with a European uppercut. Ross blasts Terrella in the face with a straight right hand, followed by a second that sends spit flying from Terrella's mouth. Stephen staggers backward and off-balance, allowing Ross to hit the ropes and come off with a flying lariat that catches Terrella under the chin, felling the big man with a thud on the canvas. Terrella groggily looks for Brooklyn, who is stretching for the tag... but Ross stomps down on Terrella's hand as he reaches. }
Terri Morasco: Ross Hanson diving on Terrella now.!.. just hammering him with right hands! I don't think Stephen Terrella expected this out of Hanson!
Vasco Dias: Did you!? I didn't! This psychopath has lost his mind! I get he's having some issues with women, but he needs medication!
Terri Morasco: Hanson taking Terrella by the waist... he's not going to try to German him, is he!? Terrella is over three hundred pounds!
Vasco Dias: He can try... but there's no-
Terri Morasco: Hanson straining!... but there's a German Suplex!!
Vasco Dias: How in the hell!? Did they drug test him!?
{ Terrella lands awkwardly, preventing Hanson from holding on for the pin. The Philly crowd roars for Ross' feat of strength! Chants of "Han-son! Han-son!" echo throughout the building as Ross tries to gather himself. Chelsea claps for Ross as Portia looks on, distraught. Ross drops a boot down on the back of Terrella's head, buying him a moment to break for the ropes. Madrox grabs the ropes, however, and pulls the top down, sending Ross spilling to the floor. }
Vasco Dias: Heads up play by Madrox there, Morasco! I love the teamwork! She may have saved Terrella.
Terri Morasco: Cheating, you mean. At any cost though, right? That's the mantra over there in that corner. They've made it quite clear they don't care what they need to do to win this tournament, so long as they win this tournament. It's a terrible display of character, but there's zero doubt in my mind they care.
Vasco Dias: Stop being a bitter Betsy, Morasco. If we had an announcer's title, I'd toss my drink in Keybo's eyes and piledrive him through this table for it in a heartbeat. It's what winners do!
Terri Morasco: You'd probably lay down for Laura just as quickly, too.
Vasco Dias: No! I'd make her finger poke of doom me. I'm a man of some morally flexible principals, but not completely bankrupt of them.
{ Terrella inches for Brooklyn, and Chelsea makes no attempt to intercept. She waits for the tag, eyes focused on Madrox... seemingly itching for the fight. Terrella finally tags Madrox, and the women enter with fury! Skye surprises Brooklyn coming across with a picture perfect dropkick! Madrox is up quickly, but Skye answers with a second dropkick to put her down again. Brooklyn again up, swinging this time- however, Skye ducks the punch and comes up behind her, stunning her with a Hurricanrana! Chelsea tries to press for a sharpshooter, but Brooklyn frantically squirms and moves her legs... eventually freeing one, enabling her to kick at Skye. }
{ The Queen of Diamonds proves flexible enough to catch Skye reaching down and roll her over into a small package, drawing a near two count before Chelsea kicks out! Brooklyn takes hold of Skye coming in this time with a Japanese Arm Drag, followed quickly by another Japanese arm drag in succession. Madrox rattles off some kicks to Chelsea's knees and shins, shifting focus from leg-to-leg on Skye with some rather unconventional footwork. The blows sting Chelsea, robbing her of some of her quickness. Brooklyn moves into some jabs, and then whips Chelsea into the turnbuckles... but Ross Hanson slides himself between the top and middle rope, displaying a moment of great teamwork to cushion Skye's hit. }
{ The save enables Chelsea to come out with her version of the slingblade she calls 'For Justin', bringing Madrox down. Chelsea casts an eye toward Portia on the outside, who inches away from the ring a bit. Chelsea goes for a cover but is again only able to score a two count on Madrox! Skye brings Madrox up, steps back, and plants a superkick under her jaw! The crowd is electric for Skye! The Nightmare Angel tries to capitalize with another pin, but this time it's Terrella pulling Skye off by the ankle to interrupt the count! }
Terri Morasco: Chelsea Skye might have had it there, Vasco! Terrella was in to break the count... but Ross Hanson has come in! Terrella and Hanson are trading shots!
Vasco Dias: As much as I hate to admit it, that was a smart series of covers by Skye... making Brooklyn expend more-and-more energy with every kick out! It seems like Skyeson may have gotten it together a bit here. There's nothing like a good fight to work some frustrations out!
Terri Morasco: Terrella just tried to pitch Ross outside... but Hanson hangs onto the top rope and lands on the apron! Skye going back to work on Madrox...
Vasco Dias: Ross may not be quite as slick as he thought? It's probably all the booze. Terrella realizes he hasn't dispatched him, though... and he's heading back over to duke it out!
Terri Morasco: Hanson has Terrella by the head... trying to pull him outside! That's a mountain to try to move though! Skye going for a whip on Madrox... but Madrox reverses!... Skye into-! Wait! Terrella just shoved Hanson off and Skye and Hanson collided!
Vasco Dias: Madrox catches Skye off the collision with a Pele Kick!
Terri Morasco: I don't know if Terrella saw that developing and did that intentionally, or it was just bad luck for Skyeson... but Ross got sent flying into the barricade and Chelsea hit hard with Ross before Madrox dropped her with that kick!
{ Terrella looks down at Ross and smirks as Portia walks over to taunt Hanson. Meanwhile Madrox drags Skye up by her red and black hair, moving her toward the corner. Brooklyn tattoos Skye in the face with some back elbows in the corner, enabling her to lift Chelsea up and sit her on the top turnbuckle. Brooklyn goes up to the middle turnbuckle, looking for 'Gravity Falls' off the buckles, but Chelsea continues to show fight by battling it off! Brooklyn holds the ropes and fires a stiff right in on Chelsea, wobbling her back in her seated position. Skye comes forward though, attempting to lock Brooklyn up for a suplex which would seemingly take them both to the floor! }
Terri Morasco: This is so dangerous! Chelsea Skye is wrestling with reckless abandon! If she hits this both women may be out!
Vasco Dias: There's no maybe about it, Morasco! That floor doesn't give!
Terri Morasco: Watch Portia, though! She's moving for the apron!... but I think Skye caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye! For once there may be a silver lining to her interference as I really didn't want to see these two talented women crash and burn on the floor!
Vasco Dias: Madrox is throwing some lefts into Skye's midsection, and it's going to be enough to break free from the suplex... but this is a tenuous position for both women!
{ Blue Shoes backs Portia down from the apron, and Portia pleads innocent on the outside. As Madrox and Skye jockey for position on the buckle, Terrella enters the ring and puts a hand up on Madrox's back to keep her from falling. Brooklyn rakes Skye's eyes; and uses Terrella as a base, stepping up onto his shoulders as she sets Skye up for a Super 'Gravity Falls'!. Terrella holds the ropes to steady them, and Madrox pulls Skye off, drilling her with the 'Gravity Falls' from about twelve feet in the air! }
Terri Morasco: Chelsea Skye just got her face spiked into the canvas!! She has to be out cold!
Vasco Dias: Madrox saved Terrella earlier and he just repaid the favor. What a thing of beauty from Brooklyn Madrox, though! She's always been adaptable, and with a little assist she was able to win the battle in the high rent district of the ring! Can we get another look at that!?
{ The camera goes to a replay. }
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn didn't come away from that move unscathed... but she's up, albeit slowly... and she's going into a cover... One!... Two!!...
{ Ross Hanson tries to make the save, but he eats a huge spear from Terrella! }
Vasco Dias: Three!!! The Queen of Diamonds and The King of Clubs have emerged victorious!
Terri Morasco: Skyeson fought hard but on this night it just wasn't enough. You've got to give them all the credit in the world, yet it's hard not to wonder where this leaves them between the relationship issues and now this. I feel they can get it together though and rebound next week.
Vasco Dias: The clock is ticking on Skyeson for next week starting now. They better get it together. But I don't want to talk about Skyeson because there's a celebration to be had! Terrella and Madrox are going all the way, Morasco... mark my words.
{ Terrella drags Ross over and leaves him laying next to Chelsea in the ring, flipping them both off. Brooklyn regains her feet as Portia enters the ring. The music hits, and Portia raises Terrella and Madrox's arms. The crowd is booing heavily, which doesn't seem to bother Stephen or Brooklyn in the least. They share a fist bump, and Terrella then turns to Portia for a kiss as Brooklyn looks down at Ross and Skye one last time with a smile. }

Alek Bronson vs Warren Suffering
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Next we have a pretty swell match. A first time match for Alek Brosnson.
Ella Kelley: How do you think this will go?
{Warren Suffering is already in the ring. Looks into the camera like he's on the office.
Summer Thompson: Love it when Warren is ready and waiting for a match.
Ella Kelley: That's what she said.
{"Simple Man" starts strumming as Alek walks out to a shower of pyro. He stops right outside the gate and looks around. He walks to the pace of the song. He holds up his hand with the pinky and index fingers extended and the rest pinched in the middle while he stops in the middle of the ramp. Then proceeds to the apron as he jumps up to the ring edge. He steps over the ropes and enters. He takes off his aviators and his coat and hand them to the outside as he stretches.}
Summer Thompson: Thoughts on Alek?
Ella Kelley: He seems willing.
{The bell rings and Alek hits him with a GLAIVE! He goes for the pin

Fallout from Tara versus Shelly last week
-------------------------------------
Earlier Today
{ We see Tara Fenix arriving to the arena through the loading bays. Willy Carter comes running up to her as she enters. }
Willy Carter: Tara, Tara! A word about last weekâs time limit draw!
{ But before Willy can get an actual question out, Tara is blind sided by Shelly Diamond with a running forearm smash to the side of the head! }
Willy Carter: Oh shit!
{ Willy books it out of there as the two women begin their hockey fight all over again in the loading bays. Right hands are just flying as neither woman even attempts to block the blows. Punch after punch after punch until both women have visibly open wounds from the closed right hands. Finally Tara hits Shelly hard enough to break her off. }
Tara Fenix: Letâs go!
{ Tara punts Shelly in the side of the head as she doubled over for a moment then grabs the Womenâs World Champion and bounces her head off the side of one of the production trucks. Tara walks Shelly toward one of the loaner vehicles and goes to slam her head through the glass but Shelly reverses it. Tara stops herself from hitting. }
Shelly Diamond: Iâm going to cut you up good!
{ Shelly again tries to put Taraâs head through the car window but Tara back elbows the champ and then smashes Shellyâs face through the window! }
Tara Fenix: Oh yeah!?
{ Tara then grabs the even more cut open champion and throws her into a near by large wooden crate. Finally some referees and lower card talent spill into the loading area to grab Tara but Tara starts fighting them off. Shelly is back up now to as Blue Shoes grabs her but she lays him out. Tara sends Domi Natrix flying. After several moments everyone but the two women are laid out as they crash back into each other with right hands! }
Shelly Diamond: Iâm never going to stop!
Tara Fenix: Good!
{ Shelly gets the upper hand this time and bounces Tara off the wooden crate. Shelly then football tackles Tara and drops her on top of the crate. Shelly climbs up on top with Tara, Shelly is thinking pile driver off the crate to the floor but Tara fights back. Tara and Shelly simultaneously go to throw the other off the crate and both go crashing down onto the floor. They continue to try and fight but now security has hit the scene and manages to pull the two bleeding women apart as they continue to kick and punch at each other. Tara smirks as Shelly sneers and this fight is brought to a close for the time being as each women is now restrained by half dozen security guards each. }

OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH GROUP B
JC Keeton and Xiuhua "Dizzie" Zhou vs Nick Danger and Ciara OâConnor
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Looks like Xiuhua is already in the ring.
Ella Kelley: That;s handy.
{The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits.}
I crawled out the gutter
I rose to the top
My reign everlasting
I canât be stopped
I was made for the throne
Rise up til I moan
You been waiting on a ruler
Well Iâm home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music. When he reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel as he awaits the match to start.}
Ella Kelley: God, you think JC is single?
Summer Thompson: Oh grow up.
Ella Kelley: I mean you seen those abs? goddamn.
{I Hate U by Boston Manor comes on the speaker and Nick Danger walks out to the entrance ramp wearing Red and White wrestling attire and his leather jacket says Savior. He stands on the entrance ramp hyping the whole crowd to chant his name and starts walking down the ramp while giving fans high fives. He walks up the steel steps and goes through the middle rope to stand near the center of the ring for a moment then takes off his leather jacket and then throws both of them to the crowd then stands at the corner turnbuckle ready for the match to start. }
Summer Thompson: Oh hey, Nick's here.
Ella Kelley: Good for him?
{As the opening notes of âRun for your Lifeâ by K. Flay begins to play the lights dull around only showing the entrance ramp.}
âDon't count me out
Just 'cause I'm down
Boy, I've been down before
Fate has a way of playing games
And I've been keeping score
They tried to tell me I was lost in the forest
Like a cub with no mother when I actually was where I wanted
â
{Ciara OâConnor steps out onto the ramp with a self-satisfied smirk as she walks down to the ring, spinning once. She climbs onto the apron, sitting sideways with one leg behind her and one in front of her. She smiles at the crowd before leaning forward and grabbing her leg before rolling under the rope into the ring. She rolls to her knees with her arms spread as the lights go up in the arena.}
Summer Thompson: You think Ciara and Nick can be on the same page?
Ella Kelley: Unlikely.
{As soon as the bell rings, Nick enters the ring as JC nodded, Ciara yelled at Nick. He turned around to yell at her and JC took the option to Ode to the Outlaw!
