{ 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. }
Vasco Dias: Welcome to Friday Night Sacrifice!
Terri Morasco: We've got another huge show for you on the road to Night of the Immortals!
Vasco Dias: Hold on, Terri. I'm getting word of something...
------------------------------------
SEGMENT
------------------------------------
Moments Ago:
{Nick Knight is seen backstage wearing street clothes and chatting with Damien Sparks just as Sacrifice is coming on the air. The two men break up their conversation with a fist bump and Nick begins to walks down a hall and from the growing crowd noise itās obvious that he is headed in the direction of the arena. A nervous look is on the face of āThe Hollywood Butcherā when Tiffany Jones intercepts him.}
Tiffany Jones: Nick do you mind taking a minute to talk more about your future plans.
Nick Knight: Sure, but itās going to be a short conversation Tiffany. I still donāt know what the future holds for me past the next couple of weeks. I am under contract with IWF through Night of the Immortals and Iām not going anywhere until then.
Tiffany Jones: But your in ring career in IWF is over.
Nick Knight: As of this moment I believe that it is, yes.
Tiffany Jones: So what are you doing here tonight?
Nick Knight: Iām going to be producing a match to see if that is something I am interested in doing full time. Now if youāll excuse me Iām producing the first match.
{Nick walks away from Tiffany as the sound of the opening pyro can be heard in the background.}
------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Jason Williams vs Todd Williams
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Nick Knight done with his in ring career!?
Vasco Dias: That's what it looks like! And you know who should join him in retirement!? TODD WILLIAMS!
Terri Morasco: Nice segway to our first match of the evening! Jason Williams looks to get back to his winning ways against the ever persistent, Todd Williams!
Vasco Dias: You think they're related?
Terri Morasco: I don't know how to answer that...
{ Todd Williams is the first to grace the Northlands Coliseum with his presence, swaggering down to the ring with what must be called a rather frightening lack of care for the fight he is about to walk into. The crowd pelt him with a tidal wave of boos that is almost loud enough to drown out the lively musings of Jay Z's Roc Boys, though you can still just about hear the occasional chime of trumpeting confidence. The hostile reception only grows in intensity, especially when Todd is joined by his wife Hope, pulling her into a disgustingly sloppy kiss that is, honestly, not fit for public broadcast. }
{ Eventually Todd remembers that he has a match to wrestle in and brings his lips away from his wife's, the pair walking arm in arm as they continue to taunt the fans at ringside. }
{ The ominous battle cry of KƔri Sigurưsson's The Fifth Column announces the arrival of the the other bloke in this fight named Williams, and the reception is no warmer. It seems the Edmonton faithful are going to have nobody to rally behind for this contest, but on the plus side, they're going to see one or even both of these men have the absolute piss beaten out of them. Jason finally marches out onto the stage, and where he and Todd differ is all in the way they respond to the cries of hatred that descend upon them. Where Todd is brash, revelling in how much they all despise him, Jason... does not react. }
{ Perhaps it's a skill he's picked up from years in this business, or perhaps it's a coping mechanism for a man who has turned his back on the very people he swore he adored, but it's as if Jason has tuned the live crowd out entirely. He pays none of them any notice, pacing down to the ring without a care in the world for what a single person in this arena thinks of him. }
{ Before long both men are ready to go and the referee calls for the bell - two of IWF's most reviled are set to do battle. }
{ Though both are within the 'bad guy' category, there is a rather apparent difference in the way in which Jason and Todd approach the art of professional wrestling. As has become a habit, Todd takes plenty of breaks in between bouts of being out-wrestled by Jason, who clearly holds superiortiy when it comes to matters of joint manipulation. This continues throughout the opening minutes of the contest, frustrating Jason and the fans alike. }
{ After a third go at this, Jason no longer feels like waiting for Todd to return to the fight. The Fortune500 CEO is in the midst of drinking from a bottle of water handed to him by his beloved wife when he notices Jason storming towards him, quickly jumping behind Hope and using her as a human shield. Jason stops for a few seconds, unsure of how to proceed, with the taunting of the happy couple bordering on unrelenting. }
{ Jason grows tired of this cowardice, and launches a kick towards Hope's head. Todd manages to drag his wife away, the duo stumbling backwards and landing on their arses - both a reflection of shock that Jason actually tried that. 'What the f--k?!' rings out from the floor, an unhappy Todd quickly learning that Jason has no interest in these games. }
{ Hope manages to get her own back, grabbing Jason's foot as he re-enters the ring. Todd seizes on the opportunity, and despite the referee's reprimands, this isn't quite enough of a reason to send the lady packing. Todd utilises every trick in the book to try and keep Jason down, but like the calm before an impending storm, it becomes apparent that Jason won't be on the back foot for too much longer. }
{ Growing desperate, Todd drops Jason with a T-Will Suplex (T-Bone Suplex variant) before rushing towards the nearest turnbuckle, scampering up to the top with hopes to end this one right now. He sends himself flying from the vantage point, flipping into a diving senton that he knows as The Nightmare. Unfortunately for Todd, the only person who'll be having trouble sleeping from this move is him, due to the mother of all back aches; Jason rolls away, Todd crashes and burns. }
{ Jason puts an end to any resistance with a harsh kick to the side of the head. Hope is apoplectic at ringside, screaming muddled messages of malice towards Jason in what is ultimately a futile attempt to distract him - it works, but Todd isn't in any position to capitalise this time. Jason smirks, taking a hold of the prone Todd's arm as he brings himself to sit beside his opponent's body. Everyone knows where this is going, but there's not a thing that can be done to stop it. Jason blows Hope a kiss before sinching in the Fujiwara Armbar! }
{ As is expected, Todd screams bloody murder as his right arm bends and buckles under the immense pressure of Jason's submission move. It's only a matter of ten seconds before his left hand begins to smash against the mat. }
{ But then, Jason made him a promise, didn't he? }
{The referee shouts sternly as he tries to pull Jason away, but it's no real use. Hope's protests grow frazzled and loud as she begins to realise what is happening, she even tries sliding into the ring to make an attempt at saving her husband, but... }
{ CRACK. }
{There's no telling how much damage has actually been done, but we do know for certain that Todd's arm is in a VERY bad way when Jason finally releases the limb. Hope instantly joins her husbands side as a ring doctor rushes down to assess the situation. }
{ Jason exhales, amused by it all, before leaving. }
Vasco Dias: I think Todd Williams needs to go to a hospital.
Terri Morasco: Did you hear a crack?
Vasco Dias: I definitely heard something! Like I just heard our cue for a commercial break!
------------------------------------
SEGMENT
------------------------------------
{The crowd is already cheering as Sacrifice returns from its commercial break, and they go into an uproar when āBlow Me Awayā by Breaking Benjamin is the first thing heard upon the return! Beside him is his wife, Kalani.}
Vasco Dias: Thatās Seth Evansās music! After the audacity he had last week to hit Chris Page, heās got some nerve to show up around hereā¦ Roberto Verona suspended him, and for damn good reason.
Terri Morasco: Seth Evans was doing what any husband would do, and defending his wife from some silly accusation.
Vasco Dias: There is a wide range of audience watching, and you need to know how to control yourself when you are on national TV!
Terri Morasco: They are wrestlers, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: When that bell rings, they are wrestlers! Until then, they CANNOT hit each other! What kind of message does that send? You donāt like someone, you hit them? You donāt like what they have to say, you hit them? This is ridiculous. Act like an adult!
{Many of the fans stretch their arms out toward Seth Evans, āThe Guardianā, while he walks toward the ring dressed in a suit and tie; he looks more like the executive that he is at the IWF as opposed to the wrestler he once was for them. He nods his head while getting into the ring; he stops and sits on the middle rope while holding the top rope up to assist Kalani into the ring. He is then given a microphone; with the microphone in hand, he paces back and forth in the center of the ring with a specific tension and unease that is quite easy to pick up. The music finally does cut, and Seth licks his lips before talking.}
SETH EVANS: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming out tonight!
{Seth raises his head and gets a small pop from the crowd.}
SETH EVANS: Is everybody enjoying the show?
{The cheer from the audience resounds and Seth nods his head again, while showing a small smile.}
SETH EVANS: Listen, I came out here to talk to all of you about my actions last week when we had the legendary āChronicā Chris Page come to the IWF as a guest, andā¦wellā¦he had some unflattering things to say about my wife, Kalani, that just went right under my skin and wellā my emotions got the best of me. My emotions got the best of me, and against better judgmentā
{Parts of the crowd are now booing in response to what heās saying, already getting a sense of what he is hinting toward.}
SETH EVANS: āagainst better judgment, I struck Chris Page. Now, you came here as a guest. We both have common friends! Iām certain that they would not like to see us bickering with each other, andā wellā
{Seth takes a moment to look at his wife, who is shaking her head. He gives a subtle nod to her and she shrugs before nodding, seeming to silently agree and understand.}
SETH EVANS: I am sorry for what happened last week, Chris Page. I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to you, and my sincerest apologies to the fans for seeing me let my emotions take the best of me. Thatās it. Thatās all I really have to say. Goodnight, folks!
{Seth finishes his apology as he starts to walk towards the ropes to exit the ring when a slow, golf clap can be heard over the sound system. The crowd boos as Chris Page appears on the Tron with the words āVia Satelliteā on the bottom right-hand portion of the screen. Chris stops his golf clap as he gazes into the lens.}
CHRIS PAGE: Ah, Seth.
{Chris smirks before he states.}
CHRIS PAGE: I donāt accept apologies from a spineless turd like you unless itās done face to face.
{The boos start to pick up from the crowd as Chris continues.}
CHRIS PAGE: I understand you have no control over my schedule, and unfortunately I couldnāt be there tonight because unlike you, Iām a commodity thatās required elsewhere this evening. That being said, Iāll be more than happy to be there next week where you can do this all over againā¦ butā¦
{Thereās a slight pause from Chris as he then states.}
CHRIS PAGE: Itās just not an apology from you thatās warranted face to faceā¦ an apology from your wife is due as well!
{Seth can be seen shaking his head in disgust.}
CHRIS PAGE: Bring her with you, she hit harder anyway.
{Chris starts chuckling under his breath before he spouts back out.}
CHRIS PAGE: I love that you swallowed your pride and made that public apology; truly I doā¦ reminded me of your old lady swallowing my cocā¦
{The feed suddenly cuts to a picture of Chris Page extending his middle finger as the screen goes back full screen to a seething Seth Evanās. Seth just drops the microphone inside of the ring as Kalani rushes forward to encourage her husband to calm down. The scene fades out to a commercial.}

Gibberg vs Mason Alexander Vanderbilt
------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break. }
Vasco Dias: Next up we've got the debut of Jason Cashe in the IWF!
Terri Morasco: Jason Cashe and our resident God, Angel Blake have been going back and forth on Twitter and have a date with destiny in about a week in the Triad Rumble.
Vasco Dias: I can't wait to see these two cross paths!
{ We look to the ring to see MAV ready and waiting for his opponent. }
Terri Morasco: Wait. I'm getting word that Jason Cashe actually isn't here tonight.
Vasco Dias: What!?
Terri Morasco: Yes, apparently there was a scheduling conflict of some sort. So instead Mason Alexander Vanderbilt will be taking on a surprise opponent!
{ Mason is informed by the referee but doesn't see at all phased by the news. Then the music hits and it's GIBBERG! }
Vasco Dias: Gibberg has returned to IWF!
{ The crowd chants "GIBBERG!" as he makes his way to the ring. Gibberg climbs up and in and is ready to go as Mason raises an eyebrow. }
Vasco Dias: Mason is going to have to work tonight!
Terri Morasco: Is he!?
Vasco Dias: Do not besmirch the name of Gibberg!
{ The bell is called for and Gibberg looks to hit a spear but Mason connects with a knee lift and then The Stump! }
Vasco Dias: No! Gibberg is down!
Terri Morasco: That's about normal.
{ Mason just shakes his head as Gibberg already seems to be completely out of it. Mason pulls Gibberg up to his feet just to connect with the Running Bicycle Kick and once again Gibberg is completely down! }
Vasco Dias: Stop this heinous attack!
Terri Morasco: He's just wrestling?
{ Mason connects with the Maverick in the center of the ring for the pinfall and the victory at fifty seven seconds! }
Vasco Dias: That was a huge win for Mason! I'm shocked he was still able to pull through after the change in competition!
Terri Morasco: Let's just take a commercial break before you hurt yourself, Vasco.

{Camera feed comes on to Dean Harper sitting in front of a camera, alone on a porch.}
Dean Harper: Warren doesnāt know Iām recording this. Heās resting. Not that I would keep this from him. He would disagree with the contents of the message though I doubt the end result. Because we are adults and we can communicate like adults. And Adults tell eachother things. Which is more than I can say for you two motherfuckers. You are acting like children, not children in the sense that you are a child but children in the sense as if you donāt understand actionsā¦have consequences.
{Dean smiles sharply at the camera.}
Dean Harper: You want to gaslight meā¦. Me? Iāve been gaslight and tortured by the best of the best and you two are not Rowan. Youāre not even in the same goddamn ball park. āWe didnāt want to win that wayā my ass. You taunted me. You teased me. You went above and beyond. You hurt the love of my life. And not in the oops wrestling is hard. No, no, no, no. You targeted his knee. You targeted his knee where he is doing rehab for it. Where there is concern for whether he can compete. You did it on purpose. Because you knew what I would do. What I did do.
{Dean laughs with an odd manic energy.}
Dean Harper: You clearly donāt know who in the hell you are fucking with.
{Dean claps his hands.}
Dean Harper: But you are about to. Because beforeā¦before it was just as a treat. It was to please Warren. Because Warren is the love of my life. Warren wanted to tag team titles and I wanted him to have them. Now? Now itās personal. You really want to tango with me twice? Me? I AM the son of God, Maker of widows and licker of skulls, okay? And you are going to wish above and below it was Daddy dearest walking into that ring at Night of the immortals. Because Daddy has standards. Daddy has restraint. This is a new covenant that will be written in so much blood itāll give Elizabeth BĆ”thory a boner.
{Dean leans forward.}
Dean Harper: You want our wedding venue on the line? Fine. But put your money where your mouth is. No disqualification. You donāt want to get the easy win again? Take it out of the equation. Because it doesnāt matter what I put on the line because you are going to be experiencing a level of fury from me that hasnāt come since Spike Kane. I am going to dismantle you. I am going to break your bones in alphabetical order. I am going to leave nothing behind me but your bloody empty shells. And I will write my apologies on your corpses. But not to you, never to you. But to Warren. Because Warren is a good and kind soul. Warren is a pinnacle of all that is good in this world. Warren hates when Iām like this. And he doesnāt deserve to have to witness it. But you deserve me.
{Dean takes a shaky breath.}
Dean Harper: I was wrong to call you cardboard. I was wrong to call you boring. Boring is marketable. Boring is highlight material. Boring is milktoast. You. You are a mistake. A mistake that even your own mothers will regret not aborting you.
{Thereās a sound of the camera man being uncomfortable.}
Dean Harper: What? Too far? I can never tellā¦. Anyways, point beingā¦ And if by some miracle you are able to walk out of that ring on your own two feet I want you to get on your goddamn knees and thank Warren for it. Because he is the only thing that will stop me.

La Bolsa vs Alek Bronson
------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: We are back from the break and about to see the singles debut of La Bolsa!
Vasco Dias: If you remember, La Bolsa made their IWF debut in the Roulette but this is their first singles match here!
Terri Morasco: And as of this moment they are still wrestling here with a handshake deal.
Vasco Dias: Rumor has it a win could land them a contract!
Terri Morasco: Well I feel like Bronson will have an opinion on that!
{The bell sounds as La Bolsa extends a hand to the chaotic Cheshire Warrior. Bronson promptly responds with a swift boot to the gut, hooking Bolsa for an attempt at the Cheshire. Bolsa slips out, wrenching Alek's arm to his back with a hammerlock. A few elbows repel the luchador, allowing Bronson to run the ropes and deliver a clothesline. He mounts La Bolsa, raining blows to the body and bag. After headbutting Bolsa, Bronson gets to his feet and leans over the ropes, laughing to the crowd. With this momentary distraction, Bolsa pops up to his feet, hitting Alek with a big dropkick. As Bronson tumbles to the outside, Bolsa pumps his fists and gets ready for a tope suicida. He runs the ropes, signaling for a diveā¦ before he catches himself on the top rope, extending his arms out to the crowd. The crowd cheers, responding in kind, with even Bronson giving a small yet sarcastic clap to his opponent.}
{In tune to Seven Nation Army, the crowd chants, "HEY, HEY IT'S LA BOLLLSA! HEY, HEY IT'S LA BOLLLSA!" as Bronson stalks the ring, deciding to grab a chair from the timekeeper area. He slides the chair in, but not before catching a quick baseball slide from Bolsa. Bolsa opens up the chair, setting it near the ropes. He runs to the opposite side, jumping off the chair and onto the top rope before diving onto the vulnerable Bronson. The crowd cheers wildly as the luchador comes to his feet, grabbing Bronson by the back of the mask and hurling him into the ring. La Bolsa scales the top turnbuckle, waiting for Alek to stand up. He goes for a diving crossbody, only to be caught with a rising knee strike! Bronson lifts up Bolsa and hits him with the Mischievous Grin, planting him down to the mat. He goes for the cover, 1ā¦ 2ā¦ No! Bolsa gets the shoulder up!}
{Bronson roars at Bolsa, delivering some boots. The crowd claps, trying to will Bolsa back to his feet. Bronson motions for the Glaive, hunching down in the corner as Bolsa fiddles with his gearā¦ here comes the GLAI- WAIT! Bolsa pulls a paper bag out, placing it over Alek's head. Blinded, Bronson stumbles momentarily, allowing Bolsa to kick him in the gut and plant the giant down with a DDT! The cover! 1ā¦ 2ā¦ Bronson kicks out! Bolsa hooks Bronson's leg, locking him in a Tequila Sunrise! Alek rips the bag off of his head, screaming in pain as Bolsa cranks back on the submission. Bronson's large stature allows him to reach the ropes fairly quickly. Bolsa breaks the hold after a three count from the referee, lifting a pointer finger to the air. Bronson gets to a knee and Bolsa runs the ropes, going for a hurricanrana. Alek catches Bolsa, holding him and getting to his feet. He lifts up the luchador and hurls him into the corner with a buckle bomb! Bolsa bounces out of the corner as Bronson charges with a big boot. La Bolsa ducks under, smashing Alek with a roaring forearm as he turns around. Bronson responds with a snap jab, backing Bolsa to the ropes. Bolsa rebounds, delivering a flurry of forearm strikes. With the big man stunned, Bolsa goes off the ropes once more, but gets caught with a headbutt! Trying to finish the Mischievous Grin sequence, Bronson lifts Bolsa onto his shoulderā¦ but Bolsa spins around, countering with a second DDT! Both men are down as the crowd comes to their feet, clapping for the two warriors in the ring.}
{After a moment of both men laying on the mat, Bronson kips up, his trademark laugh sounding throughout the arena. He gestures to the crowd and then to La Bolsa, grabbing his wrist and forcing him up. Bolsa responds with an open hand chop to the face, which only serves to anger Bronson. Alek grabs Bolsa by the throat, lifting him high in the air for a chokeslamā¦ but Bolsa jumps out and lands on his feet! He gives another roaring forearm for Bronson's troubles, causing the big man to stumble back. Bolsa lifts up Bronson, carrying him on his shoulders. The crowd comes to a roar, many in the stadium rising to their feet at the sight of the luchador holding the weight of the Cheshire behemoth. The bagged man plants his feet before slowly rotating, beginning to take his opponent for a ride with the airplane spin! Round and round they go, the crowd in awe at the display of strength and tenacity by La Bolsa. Eventually, he slows down, dazed from the spinning. He drops Alek in a heap before falling back on him for a cover. 1ā¦ 2ā¦ Bronson gets the shoulder up!}
{Bolsa rolls over, clutching at the ropes to help him up while Bronson is still prone on the canvas. He claps his hands together, motioning for the fans to join him. Yet again, he climbs to the top turnbuckle, a pointer finger raised as he looks all around. He leaps off, going for a diving headbutt but Bronson rolls out of the way! The luchador clutches at his bag as Alek rises, lunging at Bolsa. He pummels his back, taking him into a headlock and signaling for the fatal Cheshire. Bolsa delivers some blows to the side, fighting his way into the corner and giving Bronson a big forearm to the jaw. He scales to the second rope, beginning to take shots at Alek. The crowd counts out the punches to Bronsonās temple, loudly cheering, āUNO, DOS, TRES, CUATRO, SEIS, SIETE, OCHO, NUEVEā¦ DIEZ!ā The luchador then leaps up and delivers a hurricanrana to Bronson, sending him down to the mat. Alek is already getting up as Bolsa heads to the ropes, hopping up on the second rope and springboarding- AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A GLAIVE! Bronson cuts La Bolsa in two with a vicious Glaive, not even having the energy to kip up as he wearily goes for the cover. 1ā¦ 2ā¦ 3! The ending bell resonates through the area as Bronson uses the ropes for leverage, coming back to a stance as the referee raises his hand. He gives a maniacal laugh at the downed La Bolsa as the crowd jeers and boos.}
Vasco Dias: Alek Bronson picks up the decisive victory!
Terri Morasco: What!?
Vasco Dias: What's that!? I'm getting word from the back, Alek Bronson is next up for a World Television Title shot after winning that match!
Terri Morasco: I don't believe it!
Vasco Dias: Believe it! Better luck next time, La Bolsa!
{ We head to another break, this time an add for the new Harry Potter movie no one knew was coming out. }

Caroline Machado vs Fiona McFly
------------------------------------
"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. }
{ 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. }
{Caroline and Fiona battle it out, both going to their limits but Fiona pins Caroline.}

Nick Danger vs Matthew Knox(c)
------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break with Alison Valance in the ring! }
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL! And it is for the IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!
{ 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. }
Alison Valance: To my left, he is the challengerā¦ NICK DANGER!!!
Vasco Dias: What a huge match, Terri! Our newly crowned World Television Champion, Matt Knox said he wants to defend that title every single week!
Terri Morasco: And his first challenger is a man who would love to hold that title on their shoulder! Nick Danger!
{ The houselights cut out, a single Raven cries out soon joined by another, then another until the cries of an entire unkindness fill the house sound system, soon broken by "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits cutting through, the house lights coming up to a dull blue as a single white strobe light pulses in time to the song's percussion. Standing in the middle of that pulsing light, back to the ring, stands Matthew Knox adorned in his ring gear and a sleeveless hoodie. Arms outstretched like a bird in flight he pivots on a heel and begins making his way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and picking a corner to charge and leap upon to scream the audience into a frenzy. He takes a lap around the ring, before kneeling in a corner and patiently waiting for the ring to sound. }
Alison Valance: To my right, he is the championā¦ THE RAVEN! MATTTHEW KNOX!
Vasco Dias: Say what you want, Terri, this Knox guy has impressed the hell out of me.
Terri Morasco: Heās impressed me too. As someone who watches all of professional wrestling, heās impressed me for a while and Iām glad heās finally a part of IWF.
Vasco Dias: Oh, so youāre some kind of wrestling hipster? You liked Knox before it was cool?
Terri Morasco: No?
Vasco Dias: So you just lied about liking Knox?
Terri Morasco: NO! Letās just call the match!
{ The match opens with Danger going right to his speed attacks but Knox catches him off a springboard with a nasty discus elbow! Knox then presses that early advantage heās gained with a deadlift German suplex! Knox would continue to target the midsection of Danger after that with an abdominal stretch and finally a northern lights suplex.}
{ Danger would create some distance with a blind superkick followed right up with an enzugiri! Danger would run the ropes and Knox would leap frog, duck but eventually get caught by a running Spanish Fly from Nick Danger! Nick would then head to the top rope thinking heās got this one in the bag but miss with the double foot stomp after Knox rolls out of the way! }
{ Knox came right back into this match with a dumping t-bone suplex! Know would then go back to the midsection of Danger with a knee drop across the chest and then a bow and arrow stretch. Knox would release the hold just so he could pull Danger up to his feet and hit him with a snap vertical suplex! Knox pulls Danger up to his feet and goes for To the Guillotine, a shin kick combination to bring Danger to his knees, a knee strike to the back of Nickās head to get him on all fours, and an Axe kick as a finishing touch! Knox makes the cover but somehow Danger is able to kick out at two! }
{ After that combination move and cover, Danger begins to fight his way back up with palm strikes and leg kicks. Knox is staggered after a bicycle knee strike! From there, Danger is able to hit the Legacy Cutter! But Danger wasnāt happy with that. Danger would bring Knox back to his feet and connect with the Red Error! Danger thought about going for the cover but then headed for the corner and climbed up. Nick Danger signaled this is the end of the match as he climbed up to the top. Nick Danger came off the top with the Phoenix Reborn! Nick Danger made the cover and it was 2.9999 but Knox was able to kick out! }
{ Nick Danger pulled Knox up off the mat and tried to go for the Red Eye but Knox was able to reverse it into a Northern Lights Suplex! Danger got back to his feet but Matt Knox was on him with the NEVERMORE!!! All that earlier work to the ribs and midsection of Danger seemed to pay off now as he seemed out of breath for the moment. Matthew Knox seized the opening by grabbing Danger as he stood up for Into the Void! Matthew Knox made the cover and picked up the victory at twelve minutes and thirty two seconds! }
Alison Valance: Your winner and STILL IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION! THE RAVEN! MATTHEW KNOX!!!!
{ Matthew Knox held up his title as his music played }
Vasco Dias: Matthew Knox with his first successful title defense here in the IWF!
Terri Morasco: And what a great defense it was! He had an answer for almost everything!
Vasco Dias: I think itās going to be quite a while before someone takes that title away from Matthew Knox!
{ Matthew poses in the corner as we head to a commercial break. }

TAG TEAM MATCH
Rob Diamond and James Gilmore vs Violent Tendencies
------------------------------------
lison Valance: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall...
{ An instrumental with hook version of "Shell Shocked" by Juicy J, featuring Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign, begins to play, and a video package begins to play stock footage of waves crashing, followed by bolts of cloud-to-cloud lightning. }
"Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ As jets of water shoot out from all directions, we see James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, posing along to the hip-hop tune, before high-fiving the crowd and walking down to the ring. }
Alison Valance: Introducing first, making his way to the ring... standing 5'10"... and weighing in at 205lbs... James Gilmorrrreee!
"(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we ride together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(This family can bear any weather)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ Once inside the ring, the Islander alum points heavenward, taking in the moments as he waits for his opponent. }
Alison Valance: And his partner...
{ Suddenly the lights drop out as the opening riff of Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood hits. The entire arena lets out a collective boo. 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 enormous boos! Rob Diamond walks down the ramp trying to slap some hands but the crowd members pull back, not happy to see the former World Champion back in the IWF. Rob smirks and points finger guns at a couple different people like he is still over before reaching the steps. Rob runs up the steps and teased climbing up the ropes but then steps into the ring. Rob hands Alison Valance a note card. }
Alison Valance: At this time it is my honor and my privilege to introduceā¦ THE MASTER OF DISASTER! THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE! THE SULTAN OF SWAT! HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! ROB DIAMOND!!!!
{ After the introduction, Rob throws up both arms with his index fingers in the air as pink pyro erupts along the ring apron behind him. }
Alison Valance: And their opponents...
{ The lights in the arena darken to a pitch black. Sounds of an engine revving up bellow in the darkness. Two circular headlights flash on off to the side of the stage as the engine screams. After a few moments, the roar of the engine fades to more of a soft growl. The arena lighting rises with the opening instrumental to L7's song 'Shitlist', and a black 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge with blacked out windows starts to slowly roll down a path cleared on the side of the ramp leading to the ring. }
When I get mad
And I get pissed
I grab my pen
And I write out a list
Of all the people
That won't be missed
You've made my shitlist
{ The GTO stops in front of the ring and the doors swing open. Chris Diamond hops out of the passenger side door, quickly grabbing his baseball bat from the backseat. Stephen Terrella climbs out of the driver side door, pushing the seat forward and helping Portia out from the back seat by the hand. Both men shut the doors to the GTO and walk forward to the front of the car. Portia presses her body against Terrella's for a makeout session possibly not fit for public television. Diamond extends his arms with bat in hand, peering down it's barrel. Chris moves for the stairs, banging his bat against the steel. Portia moves her head away from Terrella's, and as their lips separate they stretch a piece of gum between them. Portia looks toward the ring, and Terrella moves for it, following Diamond up the ring steps. }
Alison Valance: Entering the ring, being accompanied by Portia... Weighing in at a combined 555 pounds.. The King of Clubs... Stephen Terrella!... The Main Man... Chris Diamond! They are... VIOLENT TENDENCIES!
{ Chris smirks at the fans before lining up his shot with his bat, and swings holding his hand over his eyes like heās watching a head fly before casually leaning back onto a set of turnbuckles. Terrella removes his beanie, chucking it at their opponents as he exchanges words with the opposition to the chaotic closing instrumental to the song. }
{ The official for this contest, Blue Shoes, calls for the opening bell. Chris Diamond starts things off for Violent Tendencies, and Rob Diamond immediately tells James Gilmore that he's got this. The Diamond brothers have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Some words are exchanged between the two men, followed by a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Chris powers Rob back into a neutral corner where Blue Shoes calls for a clean break. As Blue Shoes begins to count, Chris backs off with his hands up, but doesn't pass up the opportunity to pat his little brother on the head to insult him. Rob storms out of the corner, poking his finger into his older brother's chest. The Main Man can only smirk at Rob's bravado. Rob initiates another lock up, forcing Chris back a step. Chris powers forward though, shoving Rob down out of the lock up, and into the Being InFamous corner. Bending down to meet Rob at eye level, Chris mocks him one more time. }
{ Rob reaches up and tags in James Gilmore, and James' entry into the match draws a huge pop from the crowd. Chris puts his arm up, calling for a test of strength between him and James. Gilmore cautiously approaches, and as the two men close on each other, Chris drops his arm and turns to tag in Terrella. Gilmore keeps a watchful eye on both opponents as Chris exits and Terrella enters the ring. Chants of "JJ" ring out as Gilmore slaps his own chest, signaling for Terrella to come on. Terrella looks for a big left-hand, but Gilmore throws a hand up to block it. Gilmore gives Terrella a little headbutt, and then stings him with a jab to the chin. Raising his arm, James drops an elbow on top of Terrella's dome. Gilmore presses his advantage, launching into Terrella with a spinning wheel kick that topples the mountain. Gilmore goes into a quick cover, but Terrella shoves him off after only a one count! }
{ Continuing his offensive, Gilmore puts some boots to Terrella. Gilmore bounces off the ropes, building a head of steam before attempting a crossbody; but Terrella catches him in flight. The King manhandles Gilmore, throwing him up onto his shoulders and planting him into the mat with a Samoan Drop! Terrella looks back at Gilmore with a sneer. Terrella moves for Gilmore, but instead of a cover, he wraps both hands around Gilmore's throat and begins to choke the life out of him. Blue Shoes counts the illegal choke, climbing all the way up to four before Terrella relents. Displaying a continued disregard for the rules, Terrella grabs a handful of Gilmore's hair and starts mauling him with lefthands to the face and head. Blue Shoes again warns Terrella, shouting "off the hair!" The King pays him no mind, however, delivering a half dozen blows, and then giving Blue Shoes the finger to punctuate it. }
{ Terrella drags Gilmore to the corner by his hair, and tags in Chris Diamond. The two men gang up on Gilmore in the corner with kicks and punches, and then Chris Diamond takes over the assault with a short-arm clothesline! Chris works over Gilmore with a series of power moves that target Gilmore's back, then tags out to Terrella. Portia applauds for Stephen as he re-enters the ring, going right back to work on Gilmore with a mix of punches and high impact slams. Violent Tendencies continue to demonstrate the teamwork that made them tag team champions at one point, doubling Gilmore again in the corner and cutting off the ring. Rob stomps on the canvas, trying his best to rally James to make a tag. Portia circles the ring, taunting Rob. Inside it, Chris Diamond sets up for the 'Hang'em High', but Gilmore feeds off the crowd's energy and counters it by driving his elbow onto the inside of Chris' to break the elder Diamond's grip! }
{ Gilmore rattles Chris' jaw with some punches while Portia and Rob continue to argue with each other. James cinches Chris up, taking him over with a gutwrench suplex! Having had enough of Portia, Rob hops down off the apron and they really start to verbally go at each other. James looks for a tag to Rob, but Rob is out of position and misses the tag. As Gilmore turns back to refocus on Chris, the elder Diamond blasts James in the jaw with a big boot! Chris leans on the rope, smirking at the crowd as they continue to chant for Gilmore. Chris walks over, nonchalantly putting his boot on Gilmore's chest for a cover, which unsurprisingly only draws a one count! Chris reaches down, talking smack to Gilmore as he pulls him up. Rob jumps back up on the apron, and reaches as far as he can into the ring for a tag. Chris flops Gilmore's arm around, offering it to Rob to tag. Chris' taunting costs him though when James buries a right hand in Chris' breadbasket, and then plants him with a DDT! }
{ Almost instinctively, James goes to the top rope and leaps off with a diving headbutt onto Chris Diamond! Gilmore shows some signs of the beating he's taken however, and he's slow to capitalize. Gilmore pushes himself to a knee, shaking his fist along with the crowd chants. As Chris starts to get up, James stuns him with the 'Shellshocker!' The crowd is losing their minds as James crawls over to an outstretched Rob, looking for the tag... }
Terri Morasco: What in the hell!?
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond just short-armed Gilmore on the tag and dropped down off the apron! Look at the stupid look on Gilmore's face, Morasco! I wish I had a camera! This is priceless!
Terri Morasco: I don't understand... Rob Diamond... Rob is smiling! Why!?
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond just unloaded about two hundred pounds of baggage, that's why!
Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond is a no-good, selfish son of a bitch!... and now there's a spear from Terrella that just cut James Gilmore in half!
{ Blue Shoes tries to restore some order as Violent Tendencies start to put the boots to Gilmore, but Rob reaches in and drags Blue Shoes out of the ring by his ankle. Rob Diamond takes Blue Shoes by the back of the head and rams him into the steel ring post! Back inside the ring, Terrella hoists James Gilmore up on his shoulders while Chris Diamond climbs the turnbuckles. Chris leaps off, and Violent Tendencies hit James Gilmore with the 'Brutalizer!' }
Terri Morasco: Rob Diamond is strutting up the damn ring stairs... and Terrella's not done... Terrella is just pounding James Gilmore in the face with fists...
{ Rob goes in for a big hug on his brother Chris, and for his part Chris somewhat returns the gesture with an awkward single-handed pat on the back. }
Vasco Dias: This is beautiful, Morasco! There's nothing like families coming together!
Terri Morasco: Disgusting is the word I'd use! James Gilmore doesn't deserve this! I hope you're proud, Rob! That man was one of your best friends, and you're throwing him away like a piece of garbage!
{ Terrella yanks Gilmore up, yelling at him: "I told you we were going to fucking kill it! I told you! Open your fucking eyes, and you watch!" Chris comes over, taking Gilmore by his left arm while Terrella restrains the right. They hold him defenseless as Terrella grabs a handful of Gilmore's hair to keep his head up... and they simultaneously shove him forward into a Diamond Cutter from Rob! The crowd boos, and some debris are starting to be thrown into the ring. Chris picks up a cup off the canvas and throws it back out into the crowd. Portia carefully makes her way up the stairs, a steel folding chair in her possession. }
Terri Morasco: I'm starting to believe this was the plan these three men had for this match all along. I think we were all worked by The Work!!
Vasco Dias: If it was, it was genius! We are finally going to be rid of James Gilmore!
Terri Morasco: How can you say that!? The man has a family... kids, Vasco... he has kids.
{ Terrella takes the chair from Portia. He holds the ropes open for her so she can join them inside. Rob and Chris kick Gilmore a few more times while Portia and Terrella share an over-the-top make-out session in the corner. As their lips finally part, Terrella grabs the chair he had leaned on the ropes and starts to wrap it around the left leg James Gilmore was previously shot in. Rob pins James' arms to the canvas, and Chris does the same with James' free leg. Terrella leans over, grabbing Gilmore by the jaw and shouting, "I told you I was going to take everything you love!" Terrella plods over to the corner, climbing up on the middle turnbuckle. Portia throws her hands up for them to stop though. She can be heard on the audio telling the three, "Wait... this is wrong... we should break his neck!" The three men seem to agree, and the Diamonds start to reposition the chair around James' neck. }
Terri Morasco: No! Come on! How evil can four people be!? We need to get some help down here!
Vasco Dias: Who's coming, Morasco!? I'm not getting in there to help him, that's for sure.
{ Just as the Diamonds get the chair wrapped around Jame Gilmore's neck, Nick Knight comes tearing out of the back with a tire iron in hand! }
Terri Morasco: It's Nick Knight!! Nick Knight is making a beeline for the ring!!
Vasco Dias: What is he doing here!? This doesn't involve him!
{ Knight dives under the bottom rope, cracking Chris Diamond in the gut with the tire iron! Rob and Portia quickly scatter as Terrella hops down off the middle rope to fight Knight, but Nick kicks Terrella in the gut and pops him in the side of the head with the butt of the tire iron! Terrella drops to the canvas and rolls out of the ring as the crowd cheers for Nick! }
Terri Morasco: Look at the roaches scatter now!
Vasco Dias: Knight has a tire iron, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: It's called an equalizer, Vasco! Nick Knight doing the right thing here and saving James Gilmore from these jackals!
{ Terrella seems to want to go back in the ring despite the bit of blood coming down his face, but Portia holds him at bay. The Diamond brothers trade words with Knight from the outside of the ring. Knight draws an imaginary line across the canvas with the tire iron, daring anyone to cross it. Caroline Machado and Fiona McFly rush out from the back to check on James Gilmore. With Knight holding the ring, they help James get the chair off his neck and sit up. The Diamonds, Terrella and Portia start to make a retreat around the ring and back up the ramp. }
Vasco Dias: I hope Nick Knight realizes what he's done, Morasco. That's a mean group of people on the outside of that ring there, and he might have just become public enemy number 1B to them.
Terri Morasco: I think he knows exactly what he was doing, and thank goodness he did! James Gilmore isn't going to take this one laying down, either! Those three men are going to have hell to pay one day soon, I have a feeling.
Vasco Dias: We'll just see about that.
{ Knight reaches down and gives Gilmore a pat on the back to see if he's okay. Gilmore gives a nod, and Knight offers a hand to help him to his feet. Caroline and Fiona help keep James stable as the show goes to a close with a shot of the four in the ring, Nick Knight pointing the tire iron out at 'The Work' }
Winner: Match was officially ruled a no contest.
