SINGLES MATCHJames Gilmore w/ Nick Knight vs Rob Diamond w/ Chris Diamond
------------------------------------
{ 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 with his brother Chris, 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. Chris stands near Robās corner on the outside. }Vasco Dias: Matches like this next one is what open fight night is all about! Two bitter rivals just beating each other senseless!
Terri Morasco: How can you be so excited for this? Rob Diamond and James Gilmore used to be the best of friends?!
Vasco Dias: Iām excited because I love watching James get his face caved in!
{ An instrumental with hook version of "Shell Shocked" by Juicy J, featuring Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign, begins to play, and a video package begins to play stock footage of waves crashing, followed by bolts of cloud-to-cloud lightning. }"Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ As jets of water shoot out from all directions, we tsee James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, posing along to the hip-hop tune, before high-fiving the crowd and walking down to the ring. }"(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we ride together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(This family can bear any weather)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ Once inside the ring, the Islander alum points heavenward, taking in the moments as he waits for his opponent. }
{The driving guitars of FFDPās This Is War fills the arena as Nick Knight steps onto the entrance ramp. The voice of Ivan Moody joins the fray as pyro turns the stage into a warzone, UNO, DOS, TRES, GET THE FUCK UP!!! Knight stomps through the smoke and and down the ramp dressed in purple track pants and a purple and gold xXx Wrestling Academy t-shirt. Nick reaches ringside and takes his place at Jamesā corner }Terri Morasco: Well you can be excited all you want but it doesnāt mean thatās what is going to happen!
Vasco Dias: Oh Iām pretty confident it is! The Work has it out for James and what the Work wants, the Work gets!
Terri Morasco: Iām so happy youāre already all in on the Work.
Vasco Dias: Me too!
{ As soon as the bell is rung, both men charge at each other and start unloading heavy right hands to the roar of the crowd. Gilmore gets the surprising advantage in the fist fight as eventually he drives Rob backward into a corner. Gilmore would unload some stiff boots into Rob that would eventually drop Diamond down, Gilmore then stomped a mudhole in Robās chest and walked it dry. }
{ The bout would continue with Gilmore keeping that advantage over Rob with a deadlift fallaway slam out of the corner of the ring. Gilmore would make a cover here but Rob was quick to kick out at one. James would then hit Rob with a barrage of punches out of the kick out. James then would lure Rob back to his feet and go for a Spear but Rob would side step the attempt and send Gilmore into the ring post! Rob would charge up behind Gilmore and dropkick him in the ass causing Gilmore to ram his shoulder into the post again! }
{ Rob would takeover the match from here with a Dominicus Driver! Rob would go on to taunt the crowd as Gilmore got back to his feet. Rob would go for his own Spear now but James caught him with a knee lift and pulled Rob into a big time Samoan Drop! Gilmore would then go to the top rope and look to hit a flying headbutt. Chris tried to get up on the apron but Nick Knight was there to stop him. James flew off the top but the momentary hesitation was enough to allow Rob to move! }
{ Rob took control of the match back with five back to back snap dragon suplexs on James Gilmore! Rob would then haul James back up to his feet and hit a hip toss into a Double wrist clutch followed by repeated stomps to the chest and head! Rob continued to stomp away as the referee tried to break it up but Rob was unrelenting. Eventually the referee made the count as James got his foot to the ropes. Rob would make a cover here but James was able to kick out of it. }
{ Rob looked ready to hit the Diamond Cutter but as he came in for it, James shocked him with a spear! Rob tried to fight back up but James was all over him with the Shell Shocker! James headed to the ring apron and looked ready to put Rob away once and for all with a Power Wave! Chris tried to stop him but Knight was there again to stop Chris! James hit the Power Wave and the cover but Rob was able to kick out at two again! }
{ James would go onto beg Rob to get back to his feet so he could put him into the Wipeout! Chris charged at the ring again and this time Knight had enough and the two men broke out into a fight on the outside. Knight and Chris Diamond fought their way into the crowd as James stalked Rob. But then Stephen Terrella came in out of the crowd and slid into the ring behind James! James turned but the referee was able to intercept Stephen Terrella but with Jamesā back turned, Rob upper cutted him right in the penis! Rob would then hit James with the Diamond Cutter as Stephen rolled out of the ring allowing the three count for Rob and the victory at fifteen minutes and twenty four seconds! }Terri Morasco: What a travesty! Rob stole that victory!
Vasco Dias: Itās only stealing if you get caught!
{ In the crowd, Chris and Knight are eventually split up as Rob, Stephen and Shelly rejoin their partner, a slew of security separating the group now as we head to a break. } ------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCHAlek Bronson vs JC Keeton
------------------------------------
{The match began with JC trying to use his clear speed advantage over the much larger man. Kicks to the legs and body were Keeton's strategy early to slow the 6'9" 265lb Bronson even more. Alek grinned after each kick as if they had no affect but the redness on his ribs told a different story and while his legs were covered by pants the snap of each kick that Keeton delivered was sure to leave a mark. Alek would finally begin defending the low kicks only for JC to go high with a Spinning Tornado Kick that popped the crowd and wobbled the big man. In an impressive show of strength Keeton was able to hit a Saito Suplex on Alek who kicked out of the pin attempt at two.
The tides would turn in the favor of Bronson during the middle portion of the match as he wrecked the #1 contender with a vicious Big Boot. Sensing the end in what would have to be considered a huge upset after a series of jabs, a stalling Suplex where he held JC upside down for over 30th seconds and then a Chokeslam for good measure Alek went for Cheshire but Keeton slipped free and slid behind him. He hooked an Inverted Facelock and dropped down vending the big man backwards across his own back before flipping him over into a Bulldog Choke. With Wreck Your Neck locked in in the center of the ring Alek Bronson was forced to tap out after a valiant effort.}Winner Via Submission at 9:13: JC KEETON

TRIPLE THREAT MATCHWraith vs La Bolsa vs Jason Williams
------------------------------------
{As the opening of La Bolsa by Bersuit Vergarabat reverberates throughout the arena, the one and only bagged luchador steps out! Vibing to his own music, he bobs his head in an exaggerated motion before spreading his arms out wide. After holding this pose for a moment, La Bolsa strolls down the entrance way, pausing in order to give a small child in the front row their very own paper bag mask. Content with his deed, he finally reaches the steps, his gaze surfing over the crowd. With a pointer finger raised up to the heavens, he grabs onto the top rope before vaulting over it to enter the ring.}Vasco Dias: La Bolsa is one of the people to answer Wraithās challenge, and you have to imagine that a win here tonight would catapult him right to the top of the IWF!
Terri Morasco: He is ballsy to accept the challenge, but Iām going to have to be honest in saying that I donāt really like his odds.
{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.}Terri Morasco: Jason Williams has been around a while, and you have to imagine that he does want to take this just as a means to show everyone that he can compete at that level!
Vasco Dias: But you have to take it all one step at a time, no matter how long youāve been doing this. Jason Williams is a twenty-year veteran, and Wraith has quite a few veterans on his belt, and all of them have said the same thing: he should not be champion! But guess what he is?
Terri Morasco: The champion.
Vasco Dias:
{Nods.} The champion.
{The lights throughout the arena go out row by row until the arena is shrouded in absolute darkness. The lights come on and Wraith is standing in the center of the ring ā in unison, the crowd let out a heavy gasp. He tilts his head back and forth, eyeing the crowd, while waiting for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: He doesnāt waste any time getting into the ring.
Terri Morasco: And he looks demented! Itās always pretty awestruck when you think of who he is outside of the ring, but what he is inside of it!
{The start of the match shows La Bolsa and Jason Williams combining forces against the IWF World Champion; Wraith does his best to fight back against the odds, but with every strike that he lands against Jason leads to La Bolsa getting a free shot in, and every strike against La Bolsa leads to Jason getting a shot in. They were eventually able to wear him down enough that he focused on just trying to defend himself, and the two would use a series of double team maneuvers ranging from clotheslines, to suplexes; Jason Williams eventually connects with SEEING STARS (Spinning Heel Kick)...Mr. James Big would grab La Bolsa to cause a distraction, unbeknownst to Jason Williams, and Jason would earn a near fall but Wraith was still able to kick out.
On account of the interference from Mr. James Big, La Bolsa went into a rampage against Jason Williams! He hit him with a series of strikes that ended with a roaring forearm! He would get a two-count over Jason Williams, but Jason still had a lot of fight left in him and the two continued to brawl for several seconds with wild strikes going back and forth.
This gives Wraith ample time to get up, and he is angry that he was their first targetā¦ The champion charges in against both of them and has a strike for each one, stiff kicks that cause their knees to buckle, roundhouse kicks that causes them to reach to ensure their ribs havenāt been broken ā Wraith focuses on La Bolsa first with an arm drag that he transitions for ABSOLUTION; however, Jason Williams was still in the mix and able to break up the submission before he could get it locked in. Wraith turns his attention toward Jason Williams, and is lighting him up!
Jason Williams manages to duck out of the ring. La Bolsa and Wraith are the two left inside of the ring; the two go back and forth for a while, but itās clear that the champion holds a certain edge over his opponent. Outside of the ring, Jason Williams is mingling with some of the fans and sees a young kid wearing a La Bolsa paper mask; he snatches it off of the kidās head and rips it to shreds right in front of him!
Back inside of the ring, Wraith looks like he has the match ready to be sealed when he hits La Bolsa with ODE TO APHRODITE! Wraith goes for the cover in what would have been three, but Jason Williams is back inside of the ring just in time to break up the cover. Itās Wraithās turn to brawl with Jason Williams as the two are going back and forth; Jason, a little fresher than the champion at the moment, manages to gain the upper handā¦ He has his momentum stalled with a knee to his midsection, and the champion begins to fight back with everything! Jason Williams is unable to escape the assault this time, but he is doing everything to defend himself but to no avail.
Wraith connects with LIGHTS OUT against Jason Williams to earn him a near fall, but the count is stopped when Mr. James Big pulls the referee out of the ring which causes enough of a ruckus that La Bolsa is able to take advantage and roll him up in what would have been a three-count, but without the referee the match must keep going. Jason Williams hears the commotion and confronts Mr. James Big who quickly retreats. Jason charges to go for the LAST CALL against La Bolsa, but La Bolsa is able to avoid it.
Although able to avoid the Last Call, La Bolsa finds himself unable to avoid the enzuigiri that follows! La Bolsa stumbles back into the corner in a daze and Jason Williams takes advantage by getting Wraith into a crossface! It takes a couple of seconds but La Bolsa finally does manage to go forward and rather than breaking up the submission, he locks in a Boston Crab on the champion! The referee is asking Wraith if he would like to give up, but Wraith, despite the agony, is refusing to tap out. How is he not tapping out?! Both holds are locked in for roughly thirty seconds until La Bolsa finally has had enough waiting and turns to deliver a stomp against Jason Williams and cause the hold to break.
Jason is back to his feet, and La Bolsa and him are back to brawling. La Bolsa capitalizes by sending the fighting to the outside of the ringā¦he soon joins Jason Williams on the outside by going over the top rope with a senton bomb that hits its mark and is getting the crowd rallied! La Bolsa continues the assault against Jason Williams who is struggling to defend himself, but Mr. James Big is trying to buy him some time. It does succeed, but not too much; La Bolsa retains with the offense as the two are battling up close and personal with the fans as each man is sent into the barricade and each man is seeing a bit of a spark on the outside of the ring.
While the two are clinched, Wraith takes advantage of the opportunity and throws himself backward toward them to land THE FALLEN ONE against both of them! The referee has lost control of the match, but the match cannot end via count out so he is beginning to check on them while each man is looking to regain the wind in their sails.
The champion is the first one up, and a stiff kick keeps one down, and then a second stiff kick to the other keeps him down. Wraith goes back and forth between the two to keep each one winded long enough until he finally does slide Jason Williams back into the ring and follows in for a cover where he earns another near fall but Jason Williams successfully kicks out without any kind of aid from his manager!
It takes Jason Williams some time to get back to his feet, but he eventually does and is brawling with the champion inside of the ring. The two go back and forth for a couple of minutes until La Bolsa pulls himself back into the ring and now the trio are each hitting whoever is moving against them! La Bolsa finally does get the crowd fired up by pulling a bag out and getting it over Jason Williamsās head before planting him with a DDT! He gets a near fall, but Wraith is there to break it up.
La Bolsa begins slinging with the champion while Jason Williams retreats toward the ropes to use them to get himself back up to his feet. Wraith is able to hit ODE TO APHRODITE against La Bolsa which puts him down temporarily; Wraith turns to connect with GENOCIDE KICK against Jason Williams which sends him tumbling over the top rope and right into his managerā¦ La Bolsa, still hurt from the knee, ends up staggering into Wraith who finally hits the FALLEN PHOENIX and transitions into GOGOPLATA! La Bolsa fights for as long as he can, but with Jason Williams and his manager unconscious outside of the ring, and La Bolsa stuck in the center of the ring, he has no choice but to finally tap out!}Winner via Submission at 28:05: WRAITH!

SINGLES MATCHMason Alexander Vanderbilt vs Seth Evans
------------------------------------
{The camera transitions over to the stage where on the screen, images of traditional āAmericanaā can be seen. Beginning with shots of Times Square in New York City, the videos then transitions between skylines of some of Americaās most notable locations. The skylines of Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, Houston, and New York City are shown. After a moment, much of the United States natural landforms are shown in a drone-style fly-over style. The Rocky Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Niagara Falls are just a few of the images shown in quick succession. Suddenly, the video transitions to a majestic valley, where a large American flag stands erect, flowing through the wind at the top of a hill. Suddenly, the imagery overtakes the screen on the feed of those watching around the world. At this moment, the word āMAVERICKā flies across the screen. At that moment, the sounds of Goodbye Juneās āMan of the Momentā fill the arena. With the camera transitioning back from the video feed to the live action in the arena, cheers and some jeers begin to fill the arena. Standing at the top of the ramp, wearing a sequined robe stands a smiling Mason Alexander Vanderbilt.
the words āI love you all tooā at the crowd who continue to rain down a mixed reaction at the self-proclaimed Maverick. Turning to face the ring, he once again adjusts his robe before walking over to the ring-stairs to begin his ascension into the ring. After walking onto the ring apron, he walks across the entirety of the side, before slowly climbing onto the middle of the turnbuckle.}ALISON VALANCE: From Manhattan, weighing two-hundred and thirty-five pounds, he is āThe Maverickā, Masonā¦ Alexanderā¦ Vanderbilt!
{At the sound of his name, he rips open his robe, to reveal his chiseled physique. Beaming from ear-to-ear, he slowly removes the robe, allowing the inside to be seen as it is adorned with an American flag. Throwing it down to the ringside attendant, he jumps down from the turnbuckle. Methodically, he then enters the ring. Walking straight to the center, he picks his head up to look towards the crowd. His trunks, in American regalia, have the word Maverick directly printed on the front. Throwing the trousers out of the ring, he walks over to the nearest turnbuckle, and climbs up to the middle once again. He then takes his index and middle finger, and once again kisses them. Making the two peace signs once again. Throwing his arms into the air once again, Mason Alexander Vanderbilt poses proudly, letting the fans get their fill of his attitude. He then jumps down from the turnbuckle, and walks back towards the center of the ring awaiting the start of the match.}Terri Morasco: That is aā¦whew! That is a man!
Vasco Dias: Letās not get all googly eyed over Mason Alexander Vanderbilt, but letās focus on what he did the last time; it was a loss, but the man kicked out of The Thor Punch! I may not be a huge fan of that punch from Ulf, but that usually means the match is over, but MAV did the impossible by kicking out of that and you have to imagine that even in loss, heās riding a wave of momentum.
{All of the lights flicker out throughout the arena and turquoise tinted lights quickly replace while the opening guitar riff of āBlow Me Awayā begins to play through the speakers. A roar of cheers rings from the majority of the fans in the arena and from the way that the camera does see them, it doesnāt appear that one single person is sitting in their seat; Seth emerges from behind the curtains dressed in his loose leather pants with the Halo symbol on his left leg. He lifts his hand above his eyes to block the blinding light from him to take a moment to look at the entire crowd, and smiles and nods his head in approval for the reception that he receives. Not moving from his spot at the top of the ramp, he brings his hands to his chest and jumps up and down a few times as if to get the blood flowing before finally landing, and hunching for a moment before breaking into a sprint; while sprinting down the ramp he slaps hands with many of the fans on one side of the front row but as he reaches the end of the ramp, he centers himself before taking a long jump and landing one foot on the apron, showing off his athleticism, and his hands reach forward to grip the rope and steady himself on the apron. Both of his hands grip the rope tightly before shaking the rope to fire himself up and quickly stepping between the top and middle rope, and breaking again into a sprint to one of the turnbuckles. While standing there basking in the praise, he extends his arms out for several seconds and finally brings his hand in to pound his chest twice, and finally steps down from the turnbuckle to wait for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: Seth Evans is back in an IWF ring! I think the last time we saw him was against our current IWF World Champion, Wraith, and a close and personal friend of his.
Vasco Dias: Terri, you really need to stop gloating about this man. This is a man who ASSAULTED Chris Page; a legend in this business who was here by invitation, he did not want to be assaulted! If you ask me, Seth got exactly what he deserved last week, and now I think he needs to leave Chris Page alone if he knows whatās best for him. Heās already been suspended from management! Thatās why heās gotta lace up a pair of boots again!
{Seth Evans begins the match with some explosive offense; a series of arm drags, and a hip toss keeps the momentum in his favor but MAV refuses to stay grounded for too long. Seth is able to battle him back into the corner and begins to literally chop away at MAVā¦the first couple of minutes in the match is all in favor of the professional gamer! MAV would finally fire back with an elbow hitting Evans square in the jaw that causes him to take a step back, and would charge out for a clothesline! But Evans proved to be too quick by ducking and connecting with CLUTCH KICK (Pele)! Evans would earn a near fall here, but not enough to put MAV down. Seth decided to go high to attempt to end it with the Wingman.MAV recovered just in time and took Seth off the post with a superplex! The well-timed superplex was able to buy MAV some time to be able to recover, but Seth was still the first one to his feetā¦Seth fired for the BULLTRUE (Superkick), but MAV ducks! MAV is able to catch Seth while heās off-balance and take him up and over with an AMERICAN SUPLEX (German Suplex)! He keeps the bridge in to earn a two-count, but Seth is still able to kick out.
MAV continues with the offense and uses a series of suplexes to continue to work on the back of Seth Evans; MAV catches Evans with a good knee before picking him up looking to end it with THE MAVERICK!
Seth Evans is able to shift his weight and slip off of MAVās shoulders; MAV turns around and straight into BULLTRUE but MAV doesnāt go downā¦he looks like heās just out on his feet, so Seth does roll him up for a cover but MAV kicks out just as before the referee can get to three! Seth is in disbelief but doesnāt waste any time trying to keep the momentum going; he pulls MAV up and takes him onto his shoulders to look to end it with EXTERMINATIONā¦
MAV is able to throw out a few elbows to prevent him from hitting it! Another AMERICAN SUPLEX from MAV, but Seth is able to keep his momentum going backward and land back on his feetā¦he dashes toward MAV to go for a running BULLTRUE but MAV ducks and takes Seth down with THE STUMP!
MAV opts not to go for the cover this time, and instead picks Seth up; he scoops him up for THE MAVERICK, but Seth is kicking his feet trying to shift his weight againā¦but not quick enough! MAV hits THE MAVERICK and quickly rolls Seth Evans over to cover him for the three-count.}Winner at 21:07: MASON ALEXANDER VANDERBILT
{MAV does take a moment to celebrate his victory by posing for the audience in the center of the ring where Blue Shoes is holding his arm up as the victor. Seth does finally get up to his feet and the two shake hands, and MAV is the first to leave the ring while directing some of his attention to the fans. As soon as MAV goes behind the curtains, Seth is getting himself together when the house lights go dark.}Vasco Dias: Thatās Chris Pageās music! Where is he?
Terri Morasco: Seth Evans just had a war with MAV! I donāt think heās ready for another!
Vasco Dias: He probably just came to give Seth one more chance to apologize.
{Sethās eyes are locked on the curtains while the crowd is booing the arrival of Chris Page; despite the exhaustion, Seth looks ready for another battle to take placeā¦ After what happened last week, Seth may not be looking to apologize for anything, but rather beat one out of Page. The crowd suddenly boos louderā}Terri Morasco: No! Look behind you, Seth!
{āas Chris Page slithers out from under the ring and then into the ring with a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire in his hands; the music finally cuts and Seth is confused in the center of the ringā¦until Chris taps his shoulder, causing him to turn around, and Chris Page has zero hesitation in crashing the chair into his skull! Seth goes straight down like a sack of potatoes and Chris stands over him with a smile on his face.}CHRIS PAGE: This is who you people cheer for?!
{Chris raises the chair over his head and crashes it down over Seth again! And again! And again! Chris puts the chair so the barbed wire is right over Sethās face, and begins to stomp on it until finally he stands atop it so the barbs dig further in Seth. Page pulls the chair back up and Seth rolls over onto his stomach looking for a tactful retreat but Page stomps him on the back again and pulls him away from the ropes; he then puts the chair under Sethās head then slams his head onto it. Seth is sporting the full crimson mask and looks to be completely out of it.}Terri Morasco: Damn it, whereās security?!
Vasco Dias: Seth asked for this when he punched him, Terri! Security isnāt going to get in the middle of what he started!
{Page pulls the chair from under Seth, and raises it back up to continuously crash it back down wherever he can land it on Seth! Seth protects the back of his head from any of the shots, but the rest of him is completely vulnerable, and Chris Page is taking full advantage of it. By the time Chris finishes, Seth is already drenched in blood from the torso up, but Chris Page isnāt done thereā¦ he tosses the chair onto the middle of the canvas and drags a weary Evans to his feet, and then immediately hooks both of his arms before lifting him up and planting him with the PAGE PLANT on the chair!}Terri Morasco: This is sick! Get some help out here!
Vasco Dias: You gotta know who youāre messing with, and I think Seth Evans is swinging out of his league!
{Chris Page just stands over Seth Evans, with a smirk on his face and chuckling lightly as the cameras go to a commercial break.}------------------------------------
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE STREET FIGHTStephen Terella vs Nick Danger
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is a no-holds barred street fight, where pinfalls and submissions will count anywhere in the building! Introducing first...
{ 'I Hate U' by Boston Manor comes on the speaker. 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. }Alison Valance: Making his way down the aisle, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... he stands 5'11" tall... and weighs in at 195 pounds... The New Savior of Wrestling... Nick Daaaangerr!
{ 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: And his opponent...
{ The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens. Smoke begins to rise from the ground atop the stage, cast in a purple hue from the lighting directly overhead as 'Disorder' begins to blare across the speakers. Terrella makes his entrance holding hands with Portia. They take a few steps before stopping to stand side-by-side on the stage, releasing hands. 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: About to make his way down the aisle, accompanied by Portia... standing 6'2"... and weighing in at 309 pounds... from Cold Springs, Nevada... The King Of Clubs... Stephen Terrrrellllllaaaa!
{ Terrella re-positions his sunglasses and begins a slow walk toward the ring, arm-in-arm with Portia, to a chorus of boos. They reach the bottom of the stairs where they release arms. Terrella removes his sunglasses and vest and hands them to Portia. He surveys the arena for a few seconds with a menacing scowl before making a slow march up the stairs. Terrella walks the apron to the center of it, stopping with his left hand resting on the top rope to stare down the crowd as Portia applauds for her man from the floor. Finally he ducks under the top rope to enter the ring, rolling his shoulders once inside to ready himself to fight. }
{ As the opening bell sounds, the two competitors approach the center of the ring. They chirp at each other for a moment, which escalates into Terrella spitting directly in Nick Danger's face. Furious, Danger lays a right hand into Terrella's jaw, surprising the King. After proceeding to reel off a few more strikes, Nick catches Terrella with a Pele Kick that sends him to the canvas! Instinctively, Terrella rolls underneath the bottom rope to regroup. Building a running start, Danger soars through the air with a suicide dive onto Terrella that forces him back into the barricade! Reaching under the ring, Nick finds a Kendo Stick. He holds it up in the air, popping the crowd, and then starts wailing away on Terrella's back with it! Each stinging blow sends Terrella retreating, and the crowd counts along all the way until they reach eight. Having had enough, Terrella turns and eats a blow in his side, trapping the stick. Terrella grabs Danger by the throat, chokeslamming him onto the padded floor! }
{ Terrella picks up the Kendo stick and snaps it over his knee. Tossing the broken halves aside, Terrella fish hooks Danger by the lip and drags him up. Stephen slugs Nick in the side of the head with some vicious left hands. Scooping Danger up, Terrella drops his opponent chest-first over the barricade with ease. As Danger lays on the floor holding his ribs, Terrella crushes him with a three hundred pound standing splash. Stephen pushes off of Danger's face to help himself up, and then just starts to smash the back of Nick's head against the floor over-and-over again. Given the rules of the contest, referee Jessica Andrews can only stand and watch. Portia stands over Nick the entire time, taunting him while her man tries to concuss him. }
{ Stephen glances at the steel railing, seemingly starting to formulate a new plan in his head. He starts to tug at the railing, ripping it loose from the connecting pieces. Placing it atop the apron and the remaining rails, Terrella uses the free piece to create a bridge of sorts. He refocuses on Nick, burying a knee into his midsection, and then rolling him onto the apron. After making his own way up, Terrella puts Danger in position for a powerbomb, eyeing the steel railing as the impact point. Terrella hoists Danger up, launching him through the air! Danger's body strikes metal, and his body-weight buckles the railing beneath him! The official immediately rushes over to check on Danger as Terrella stands on the apron surveying what he just did. }Terri Morasco: That was totally unnecessary to win a damn wrestling match! Stephen Terrella is out here trying to hurt Nick, that's all this is! What kind of human-being does that to another person!?
Vasco Dias: That man right there, Morasco. If you want someone to blame though, the man you're looking for is James Gilmore. He lit this fuse.
Terri Morasco: How can you say that, Vasco!? I
Vasco Dias: It's the truth, Morasco! Did you want me to sugarcoat it for you so it goes down easier? He picked a fight with Terrella. The way I see it, it sure doesn't look like he did enough to help prepare Danger for this match, either! If he cared about the kid maybe he should've tried to talk him out of showing up tonight.
{ EMTs and backstage personnel start to come to ringside to check on Nick Danger. Terrella wants a microphone, and Portia retrieves one for him by ripping Alison Valance's out of her hands and passing it up. }
Stephen Terrella: The fuck is this?! We ain't done yet! Gilmore, I told you this shit was on you! I'm going to show you what you've done! Get your ass up, Nick!
{ Terrella tosses the microphone as the crowd boos. The King hops down off the apron and starts assaulting the EMTs and backstage personnel. Finally, after having decimated almost every single individual in sight, Terrella snatches Danger up and throws him over his shoulder. He starts storming to the back while carrying Danger, and Portia and the referee follow in tow. }Terri Morasco: I fear where this is going...
Vasco Dias: Probably not as much as Danger does, Morasco.
{ Following the action through the curtain, we see Nick Danger start to throw some elbows into the back of Terrella's head. After a few strikes, Danger is able to slip off of Terrella's shoulder. Favoring his back, Nick launches a super kick that catches Terrella flush. The two men battle each other down a long hall, hitting each other with items they find along the way. They reach the fitting area where Betty Ford was having some alterations done on her gear, but both her and the seamstress quickly scatter as the action spills in. Danger charges into Terrella, just absolutely tattooing him with a bicycle knee strike! Terrella comes up bleeding from the lip, and Danger smashes his head onto the table where the seamstress was working. Nick picks up a seam ripper and starts jabbing Terrella on and about the top of the head! Portia saves Terrella from the jabs by dragging her nails down Danger's spine, though. }
{ Danger turns with words for Portia. Blood starting to stream down Terrella's head and face, he grabs a pair of tights off the table and wraps them around Danger's throat, squeezing with everything he has. Exhibiting a keen awareness, Danger counters the choke by putting both his hands on top of Terrella's bloody head and dropping down with a jawbreaker. Nick gasps for air as he grabs at his lower lumbar region. As he sucks oxygen back into his lungs, he catches a glimpse of a mirror leaned against the wall. He moves to capitalizing on his present advantage in the fight, taking Terrella by the back of the head and throwing him into the mirror! Reflective glass shatters everywhere, leaving Terrella laying in the shards. The New Savior of Wrestling tries for the Danger lock, but as they grapple, Terrella grabs a shard of the broken glass and digs it into Nick's forearm, forcing him to abandon tact. }
{ Terrella wipes his own blood from his eyes while Danger examines the damage to his own arm. Standing up and stepping back, Danger holds his arm and curb stomps Terrella into the broken glass. The fitting area has started to resemble a crime scene with all of the blood everywhere. Danger waits on Terrella to get up, measuring him, and then delivers a Phoenix Blade with his bloody arm to the back of Terrella's head! The blow douses a nearby rack of clothing in blood droplets. Danger drops to his knees, covering Terrella atop the pile of glass. The referee very tentatively gets into position and starts to count... One!... Two!!... No!!! Terrella kicks out! }
Vasco Dias: I've seen Rob Zombie movies with less blood than this, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: I don't know how Terrella kicked out of that, but I know he's gotten more fight than he bargained for here tonight! Nick Danger continues to show the world what he's made of, and tonight he's taking the fight to Terrella in a match that some people didn't give Nick a chance in.
Vasco Dias: I know when you say some people, you mean me. I still don't. I refuse to hitch my wagon to the worst hero since Shaq tried to rip off Iron Man in the movie 'Steel'.
{ Portia immediately rushes over to tend to Terrella, and Nick clearly wants her to move out of the way. Nick tries to go left, but Portia puts up a hand, wanting him to stop. She stands up, telling Nick this has gone on long enough. For one brief moment Nick looks to the official for some assistance getting Portia out of the way, and that opening is where she draws her leg back and kicks him in his family jewels as hard as she possibly is able! Instantly Danger crumples to the ground, creating an opening for Terrella. Bleeding profusely, Terrella slowly gains his footing. He looks toward Danger, waiting on Nick to stand up. When Nick does, Terrella charges in with a spear that sends Nick Danger's body straight through a door in the Rogers Arena! }
{ Terrella digs through the wreckage of the door, finding the handle and tearing it off. He takes a knee next to Danger, then starts relentlessly pounding him in the skull with the metal handle. A jeering crowd watches the scene unfold on the big screen in the arena. Rising, Terrella tosses the door handle down the hall of the building. Walking back into the fitting area, Terrella takes hold of a folding table and brings it out into the hall. He begins to set it up as a bloody Nick Danger crawls to try and continue to bring the fight to Terrella. However, the larger Terrella manhandles Danger up onto his shoulders, and drives him through the table and onto the concrete floor with the 'Diffuser'! Terrella drops down, smashing his hands over Danger's face and chest for a cover. The official slides into position, and Jessica counts... One!... Two!!... Three!!! Back at ringside the bell sounds. }Alison Valance: Your winner of the match by pinfall... Stephen Terrella!
{ 'Disorder' starts to blare. Terrella begins to yell at Danger, saying to him: "You fucking tell Gilmore this is on him!" Wiping some of Danger's blood off of Nick's own forehead, Terrella walks over to the white wall and smears a number 1 onto it. Portia raises Terrella's arm, and then both of them look down at Danger on the floor. Portia turns to Terrella, and the two begin to kiss. }
Terri Morasco: Nick Danger fought with everything he had, and he made sure Stephen Terrella was going to feel the effects of this match in the morning. If not for Portia, this may have had a very different outcome. Terrella has made a vile, but powerful statement to James Gilmore, though.
Vasco Dias: Terrella said he had a list, Morasco. I think he just crossed off number one. That's a very large- and a very angry- man that is going to be hard to stop. If I were James Gilmore, I'd move out of the country and change my name.
Winner: Stephen Terrella by pinfall.

IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH1K RP Word Limit
Warren Kane vs Matthew Knox(c)
------------------------------------
{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.}Vasco Dias: Warren Kane is out in the ring as he has answered the challenge from Matt Knox for anybody! Warren Kane is looking to take the title backā the first-ever TV Champion, and he could be walking out tonight as the first-ever two-time TV Champion!
Terri Morasco: Warren Kane and Dean Harper have been lighting up the tag team division, but they are both former World Champions and now Warren Kane is looking to win back his first singles title since losing the World Championship to Ulf back in August, and losing his rematch in December. This is important to Warren!
{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.}Vasco Dias: And now here is the IWF World Television Champion! He has some high aspirations to break Ulfās record of number of defenses, and could he do it.
Terri Morasco: Was Ulf at twelve or eight? Because he fought multiple people in one night, and you can imagine that should count as one defense per person, right?
Vasco Dias: I mean, I would think so.
{The bell sounds, and both challenger and champion savor the time it takes for them to finally clash in the center of the ring by encircling itā¦both have their eyes scanning the other as if to search for any sign of weakness. Knox is the first one to advance forward, in which Warren answers by stepping to the side and connecting with a devastating kick against Knoxās calf! A second kick connects, and Warren goes for a third but Knox is able to step back to avoid it this time; while Warren is still planting his foot back in the ground, Knox is able to launch forward to go for a spinning roundhouse kick aimed for Warrenās head! But Warren ducks it and now closes in to connect with several forearm strikes to batter the champion back into the corner.}Vasco Dias: Matt Knox has a larger reach than Warren, but Warren looks like he has prepared for this and knows exactly how to take the fight to him; he is closing that distance, and he is using quick strikes against the champion in hopes of becoming a two-time IWF World Television Champion.
Terri Morasco: Knox did almost take his head off with that kick, though, and that couldāve easily sent this thing into the end.
{Warren continues to wail with a few extra forearms against the champion until Blue Shoes gets between them since they are entangled in the ropes.}Vasco Dias: Warren seemed to be getting a little too excited, but he needs to be careful otherwise he could end up getting himself disqualified.
{Warren raises his arms while walking backwards toward the center of the ring; Blue Shoes is instructing Knox out of the corner and Knox happily obliges while the two are beginning to circle the ring again and Blue Shoes calls for the fight to continueā¦Warren and Knox go back to where they were by advancing toward each other; Warren and Knox look like they may clinch, but Knox sidesteps and brings his knee to Warrenās midsection to drive the wind out of him. Knox backs up against the ropes and comes back for an axe kick! But Warren moves at the last moment, and manages to circle Knox and roll him into a schoolboy cover:ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
Kick out!}Terri Morasco: That roll up almost ended this match prematurely!
Vasco Dias: Knox didnāt seem to see it coming, and heās rolling backwards to get back upā but Warren is already up, and Warren goes for a running knee!
{Warren comes in for the knee, but Knox is able to avoid it; Warren stops himself on the ropes, but unfortunately his back is to Knox and now itās Knoxās turn to roll him up:ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
Warren rolls backward to get out of the cover!}Vasco Dias: Two near falls, but neither man stays down long enough.
{Warren springs forward and goes for a falling front dropkick, but Knox is able to avoid it; Knox springs to his feet and comes down for an elbow dropā¦but Warren rolls out of the way; Warren is quick to his hands and knees and leaps over Knox, taking him into a side headlock on the way but Knox is rolling through and has perfect positioning to prevent Warren from getting it locked in; he is able to get them both to his feet, and despite the height difference, Warren has Knox in the headlock but Knox is able to shove Warren off toward the ropesā¦
Knox goes for a clothesline upon Warrenās rebound, but Warren ducks under it and continues for the next ropesā¦ Knox turns around and commits to a leapfrog over Warren this go-around, showing off his own athleticism, and upon landing goes for the opposite ropes; the two both rebound and are set to collide in the center of the ring! Warren leaps for a crossbodyā Knox catches him and reverses it into a fallaway moonsault which earns a huge pop from the crowd!}Vasco Dias: Knox with aā a beautiful reversal right there, and he hooks the leg!
Terri Morasco: This crowd is on their feet after that one!
ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
{Warren gets his shoulder up!} Vasco Dias: I thought that reversal could have brought the end for Warren Kane, but Warren is still holding on.
{Warren sits up, and Knox is already circling behind him; Knox drives a knee against Warrenās back then applies a perfect reverse chinlock. Warren is scrambling to try to get the hold to release, but to no avail as Blue Shoes is asking him if he would like to give up but Warren continues to shake his head at himā¦ after several seconds of fighting, Warren seems to be wiggling free, but Knox releases the chinlock and takes both of Warrenās arms to pull them back and get him into a surfboard stretch!}Vasco Dias: The challenger is in trouble with these series of holds, but Warren is still refusing to tap out. No matter how much Blue Shoes is asking him, he is refusing to tap out!
Terri Morasco: But heās too far from the ropes to cause a break so all Matt Knox has to do now is wear him down, and it looks like thatās what heās going to do.
{The challenger continues to struggle to fight against the champion, and finally after some more wiggling is able to create enough separation to roll backward and go for a shin kick against Knoxās head; however, the champion telegraphs it and is able to catch Warrenās legā¦he drags him backward so that heās lying on his stomach, and then goes for an ankle lock!}Vasco Dias: Hold after hold, Matt Knox seems to have an answer for everything that Warren is throwing at him!
Terri Morasco: He could go for the grapevine to really get things locked in, and it looks like thatās what heās wanting to do.
{Warren doesnāt give Knox a chance to do that, and is pulling himself toward the ropes; Knox is holding on to prevent him from closing that distance and Warren is able to finally tumble forward and send Knox toward the ropesā¦ Warren springs to his feet, and Knox turns to face him but is met with a stiff knee and then instantly taken over with āSplosion! Warren goes for the cover!}ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
THā
Knox kicks out!Terri Morasco: Warren Kane with an insane suplex that just caught Knox out of nowhere! I donāt even know if Knox knows he kicked out!
Vasco Dias: That should shift the momentum in favor of Warren, but heās going to have to do a bit to keep it up.
{Warren is already up and is stomping against Knox several times; Knox rolls onto his stomach and eventually is up his hands and knees, but Warren hits the ropes to come back and connect with a front dropkick! Knox is sent several feet across the ring from the dropkick, and the challenger is following; Warren gets over him and comes down with a knee drop that lands at Knoxās collarbone and Warren goes for another cover:ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
Knox is able to roll his shoulder off of the mat! Warren stands up immediately while Knox sits up; Warren hits the ropes a second time and comes back with a running kick! He drops down and covers Knox yet again.ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
Knox rolls his shoulder up again!
Warren is again back to his feet, and looks at the ropes; he springs off the middle rope to go for a moonsault! Knox is able to get his knees upā but Warren is able to transition and land on his feet; upon landing, before Knox can react, Warren leaps up for a leg drop! Warren looks ready to go for another cover, but Knox is quicker this time with rolling onto his side and back onto his stomach to prevent the cover from being madeā¦}Vasco Dias: Warren Kane is determined to walk out with the win tonight!
Terri Morasco: Heās just lighting Knox up now, and Knox hasnāt had an answer in a while. That quickness is proving to be too much.
{Knox is against the ropes and using them to get himself back to his feet, but Warren is still hovering over him and continuously throwing some elbows and forearm strikes to keep Knox on the defensive, but Warren gets too close and Knox takes him up and over the ropes with a back body toss! Warren crashes on his tailbone outside of the ring and looks to be in agony from the drop as Blue Shoes is now looking out to check on himā¦}Vasco Dias: That looked like a rough landing for Warren!
{Knox is taking the moment he has to catch his breath. Outside of the ring, Warren is getting back up but is clutching where he landed and cringing in the process; Knox spots Warren getting up and runs to the far ropes and comes back just as Warren is about to slide into the ring but catches him with a baseball slide! Knox continues through to the outside of the ring and pulls Warren back up while simultaneously connecting with a back elbow, and a few more to follow up against the challenger. Knox tosses Warren into the ring apron and comes in with a full body press!
Knox then slides Warren back into the ring and pulls himself onto the apron; while Warren is still down, Knox springs to the top rope and comes off with a leg drop that hits his mark! Knox rolls over and rolls Warren up.ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
THā
Warren kicks out!}
Vasco Dias: Just barely! Matt Knox looks like heās getting a bit frustrated and wondering what he has to do to put Warren out for the count.
Terri Morasco: This is a former World Champion and former TV Champion, the first-ever! Warren has a huge tank to work with!
{Knox grabs Warren by the head and pulls him up to his feet while calling for an end; he puts him up onto his shoulders and is looking for INTO THE VOID!
A couple of elbows from Warren fend him off, and Warren is able to get back to the canvasā¦ Warren continues to throw a few wild strikes against the champion to keep up some of the offense; Knox connects with a few shin kicks though that brings Warren to his knees! Knox circles around and connects with a knee to the back of Warrenās head causing him to tumble forward and only barely catch himself with his elbows; Knox then hits the ropes and comes back with an axe kick to complete TO THE GUILLOTINE!}Vasco Dias: Thatās it! Thatās all she wrote! I think Warren was out after that knee!
Terri Morasco: Knox is going for the cover, andā
{When Knox leans down to cover Warren, Warren gets a surge of desperation and manages to pull him in for an inside cradle!}Terri Morasco: WHAT?!
ONE!
Knox is trying to break himself free from the cradle.ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
Heās trying to shift his weight, but Warren has it set.ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
THRā
Knox manages to shift his weight just in the nick of time!Vasco Dias: Oh, my God! We almost saw a new champion right there!
Terri Morasco: I think that was all Warren had left, though, and now Knox is really frustrated with how close that isā
{Knox is unable to keep the cradle held for the cover to go, and opts rather to get back to his feetā¦he looks confused by what has happened while Warren Kane is still lying on the mat trying to find it in himself to get up. Knox heads over to him and then jumps up for a rolling knee drop, but Warren gets yet another surge allowing him to move out of the way! Knox clutches his knee in pain from hitting an empty mat and Warren rolls for the ropes to use them to get to his feetā¦Knox has a noticeable limp following the missed knee drop, and Warren charges for the KIDD KICK!}Vasco Dias: Kiddā
{Knox is able to avoid the kick! Warren Kane falls to the canvas and hits nothing but airā¦}Terri Morasco: It missed!
{Warren tries to scramble to his feet, but the match has worn him down considerably; Warren stumbles but Knox catches him before anything else and uses a pullback Irish-whip to bring Warren onto his shouldersā¦Warren tries to fight out of it with a couple of elbows which Knox in turn is just eating repeatedly, but itās not enough! Knox raises him up and brings him down with INTO THE VOID! Warren Kane goes back and lands flat on his back as Knox tumbles over him and rolls him up:ONE!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
TWO!
ā¦
ā¦
ā¦
THREE!}
Alison Valance: Your winner, by way of pin fallā¦AND STILL! IWF World Television Champion! MATT! KNOX!
Terri Morasco: Warren Kane came out with a lot of heart, and looked like he may pull it off to become the first-ever two-time TV Champion, but Knox was able to hold on and seal the match with Into the Void!
Vasco Dias: You canāt take anything away from Warren. You canāt! This match could have gone either way, but it just so happens that Knox walks out as the champion still as we go into Night of the Immortals season!
{Blue Shoes is standing in the ring with Matt Knoxās arm held up in the air, and Matt Knox holding the TV Championship up with the other hand as the crowd is chanting for a rematch between these two.}Terri Morasco: Up next we have the Iron Maiden match to determine who will fight Shelly Diamond at Night of the Immortals! Vasco, do you have a favorite to win this?
Vasco Dias: Terri, Iām not even going to touch that one. A lot of skilled women in the Iron Maiden match up this year; a lot of wildcards! Itās impossible to say who is going to walk out as the number one contender here this evening!
------------------------------------
IRON MAIDENWinner receives and IWF Women's World Championship Match at Night of the Immortals
Fiona McFly vs Diamond Steele vs Zelda Simpson vs Vivienne Rodgers vs Jinx Rodriguez vs Virginia
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your main event of the evening and is the IRON MAIDEN MATCH!!!
{The Crowd cheers loudly at the idea of the match coming up.}Vasco Dias: Sounds like the crowd is excited to see whatās in store!
Terri Morasco: Of course they are! The Iron Maiden is one of the most anticipated matches of the year, and this one promises to be one of the best weāve had in a couple years.
Alison Valance: From Philadelphia, PA, weighing in at 121 poundsā¦ Zelda Simpson!
{ The Final Fantasy X version of "The Prelude" kicks in as Zelda Simpson strolls into the arena, playing Pokemon GO on her iPhone 12 -- much to the crowd's laughter. Once she approaches the ring, an attendant calmly reminds her that it's time to wrestle...so she gently hands him the gadget and prepares to wait for her opposition. }Terri Morasco: Zeldaās definitely the underdog in this match, but she seems bound and determined to make a good showing tonight without any fear on her face.
{Zelda walks into the first pod and leans against the sides as it closes behind her.}Alison Valance: From Fredericksburg, Texas, weighing in at 135 poundsā¦ Mama bear, Fiona McFly!!!
{ 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. }Vasco Dias: Fiona entering the Iron Maiden once again.
Terri Morasco: Fiona has won this match in the past. It will be interesting to see if she can do it again.
{Fiona walks into one of the pods right next to Zelda, sitting down cross-legged meditating as the door slides shut.}
Alison Valance: From Glasgow, Scotland, weighing in at 121 poundsā¦ Jinx!!!
Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
{The crowd cheers when Jennie is the first to emerge from behind the curtains. She twirls her finger at the side of her head while bobbing her head back and forth with a skip in her step.}At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
Oh, she's hot but a psycho
So left but she's right, though
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"
{She stands atop the center of the ramp and falls down to her knees while looking around at everyone that is cheering for her then blows a kiss out to the entire audience. The crowd gets a little bit louder when Ricky Rodriguez, Jennieās husband, comes out from behind the curtains with his arms pointing toward his wife and he gestures for the crowd to get louder. Jennie spins her head back and forth with a smile on her face before tilting her head back when Ricky stands over her, and the married couple share a kiss. She then gets back to her feet and does a cartwheel to go down the ramp before bursting with a spring in her step toward the ring until she reaches the ring and slides underneath the bottom rope. She does a sidestep around the ring to get herself warmed up while gesturing for the crowd to get louder, while Ricky circles the outside of the ring; he goes toward the timekeeperās table, and Jennie goes to the closest ropes and hooks both of her arms around the top rope and allows herself to move backward so she is literally hanging upside down on the opposite end. Ricky knows that look, and the two share a second āSpider-Manā kiss before she pulls herself back into the ring and crouches down while waiting for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: I think that thereās almost no way that Jinx isnāt walking out of this match as the 2022 Iron Maiden.
Terri Morasco: Sheās definitely one to watch, Iāll give you that. Between her natural talent and the family line she comes from it would be impressive!
{Jinx glances between the two open pods and picks the one near Zelda.}Vasco Dias: That can only mean one more for the podsā¦
{The lights in the arena start to flicker as the intro to āBitch Better Have My Moneyā hits the speakers. Smoke pours out onto the stage as Virginia Stepanov steps out. She walks to the head of the ramp, looking around for a moment before she shoots a high front kick into the air to show off and then makes a finger gun with three punctuated āshotsā towards the crowd ad the appropriate time in the song.
She struts down the ramp, mouth moving to sing along to her entrance as her head bobs along with the song. When she gets to the ring she jumps onto the apron, hanging onto the rope and leaning out towards the crowd, throwing a finger gun with another three shots before she steps through the ropes. She slips her coat off and hangs it in the corner.}
Alison Valance: From New York, New York, weighing in at 150 poundsā¦ Virginia!!!
Terri Morasco: Listen to that crowd! Virginia is one of the fan favorite for this match!
{Virginia enters the last pod available}Alison Valance: From Madison, Wisconsin, weighing in at 140 poundsā¦ Vivienne Rodgers!
{The lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp as the sounds of rain and thunder hits. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the opening notes of Games by Tessa Violet and the lovelytheband plays.}I donāt want a piece of that
cause I know thereās no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
but you can make a toy of me and Iāll agree that
maybe I just couldnāt see, couldnāt see that
there aināt nothing wrong with us at all
{Vivienne appears walking on from backstage. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk. She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before Vivienne settles into her corner.}Vasco Dias: Once again starting out the match as one of the opening two competitors.
Terri Morasco: Vivienne has never done well in these kind of matches.
Alison Valance: And finallyā¦
{Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring boos. Diamond smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.}
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from London, England - weighing in at 110 pounds ... Diamond Steele!
Terri Morasco: And last but certainly not least, Diamond, back once again to make her mark on the divisionā¦hopefully.
{Diamond and Vivienne look at each other before looking to the pods surrounding them holding the other women. The ref checks them to make sure they are prepared before signaling for the cage be closed.}Terri Morasco: Any bets on whoās walking away with this one, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Itās never a smart move to bet against the a Fenix, Terri. While we may have some truly impressive names in this yearās Iron Maiden, I think that Jinxās going to pull this one out. We saw what she can do in other companies, and Iād be amazed if she didnāt pull it out of the park this year.
DING!
{As soon as the bell rings, Diamond goes across the ring hitting Vivienne with a running forearm smash to the ground. Diamond stands over Vivienne and hits her with a few pele kicks..}Vasco Dias: Experience definitely giving Diamond the early edge tonight!
{Vivienne lifts a leg and hits Diamond solidly in the knee knocking her back away from her.}Terri Morasco: Are you sure about that?
{Vivienne leaps to her feet going after Diamond. Diamond tries to grapple her to get a tiger suplex but Vivienne knees her in the stomach. She hits her with a few open strikes as she wrenches her arm back and hitting her with an Anaconda Vice, putting the pressure on.}Vasco Dias: Both of these women are very formidable wrestlers, but weāll see how that helps them once this is more than just a one on one throwdown! The third entrant is about to come in!
{The crowd makes sounds of excitement as the counter starts And the crowd starts counting with it as the lights shift on the pods.

The light ends on Fionaās pod}Vasco Dias: Fiona McFly! A previous winner of this contest and someone wanting to make a splash.
Terri Morasco: Looks like you might be right!
{Fiona practically runs out of the pod to where Vivienne had Diamond in an vice and hits Vivienne in the back with a dropkick causing her to drop the hold.}Vasco Dias: Of course, Terri. Iām always right.
{Fiona hits Diamond with a couple elbow strikes in quick succession to keep her down. As Vivienne drags Fiona away from Diamond, hitting her with a couple german suplexes. Fiona hits Vivienne in the throat causing her to let go, the two stagger back from each other.}
Terri Morasco: And just like that, Fiona McFly has taken control of this match!
{In a moment Diamond comes running across the ring and hits Vivienne with a Spinning Heel Kick. She turns quickly slamming into Fiona with a Spring board Crossbody, knocking her back.}
Vasco Dias: Diamondās not about to be discounted, though.
{The crowd starts counting again as the lights shift. Diamond leg drops both of the other women clearly unconcerned about who comes next.}
Terri Morasco: Letās see whoās next!

The lights stop on Zeldaās pod.}Vasco Dias: Looks like its time for Zelda Simpson to enter the fight. Let's see if she can do what the movies do and pull a victory out as the Underdog!
{Zelda walks out of her pod and grabs Diamond by surprise with a Snap Suplex. Once Diamond is down Zelda hots her with a leg drop. Meanwhile, Fiona bounces back going for Vivienne and hitting her with a quick Side slam backbreaker.}
Terri Morasco: A strong start from Zelda, with Fiona continuing to put the pressure on Vivienne, picking apart the more exhausted opponent.
{Zelda turns and hits Fiona with a spear. Vivienne takes the chance of those two fighting to grab Diamond and hit her with a Snap Suplex of her own.}
Vasco Dias: Everyone loves suplexing Diamond tonight.

Virginiaās pod door opens as she grins.}Vasco Dias: Here it is! Virginia has entered second-from-last in the Iron Maiden!
{Virginia hits Diamond with a super kickl so hard Diamond goes down. Virginia grabs Diamond and dropkicks her across the ring hitting Zelda with her body. Fiona steps back looking at the two girls on the mat and then at Virginia. Fiona bounces on her feet slightly as Virginia comes to close the distance.}
Vasco Dias: Evidently not! Just like that, Virginia takes a wrecking ball to the whole flow of the match so far!
{Before Virginia can get to her Fiona does a Leaping knee lift hitting the other woman. Virginia staggers back slightly but hits Fiona with a double axe-handle. Fiona falls against the ropes before going to Virginia with a Short-arm knee strike to the gut.}Terri Morasco: Fiona has been absolutely on fire tonight, taking the fight straight to Virginia without fear!
{Virginia turns and finds herself face to face with Vivienne Rodgers. The crowd revs up as the two of them stare at one another, neither of them lowering their guard but neither of them making a move against the other. They stare at one another, hesitatingā¦ before Vivienne takes a step back and re-directs her attention to the downed Diamond. Virginia smirks to herself before Zelda lunges at her once again, the two of them staggering away as Fiona catches her breath on the ropes.}
{With a Suplex Virginia drops Fiona to the mat. Fiona seems to force herself up despite how hard they are going for one another. Fiona seems to growl and hit Virginia with multiple elbow strikes. Zelda launches herself at Diamond, headbutting her, knocking the older women back. Vivienne gets off the mat and is visibly counting the members in the ring before turning to see Jinx leaning casually in her pod. Diamond hits Zelda with a Chokeslam backbreaker. Fiona knocks Virginia off her feet and continues to wail on her. Vivienne moves across the chaos to lean on the ropes staring down Jinx.}
Terri Morasco: Vivienne certainly seems ready and eager to take the fight to everyone.
{The crowd pops hard as the countdown starts.

As Jinxās pod opens Vivienne jumps over the ropes and grapples Jinx into a German Suplex tossing her down.}
Vasco Dias: And my pick to win it enters fresh with everyone else worn down! My night just keeps getting better!
Terri Morasco: I mean, Jinx did just get suplexed...
{Both women stand and face one another. The roar of the crowd builds as Vivienne and Jinx stare one another down. Jinx gets back to her feet wearing a slightly insane grin, preparing to lock up and show Vivienne just how ruthless she isā¦ when out of nowhere, Fiona spirals into the mix, crashing into Vivienne as the two go tumbling to the mat. Jinx blinks before turning to the side, seeing where Virginia is standing after having hurled Zelda across the ring with a powerful Irish whip. Jinx thinks for a moment before shaking her head and visibly saying ānopeā and skipping into the chaos.}
Vasco Dias: Jinx knows she doesn't want any of that fight yet, not while Virginia's still fresh.
{Diamond comes at Virginia strong, forcing her into the corner with an early claymore kick! Meanwhile, Vivienne and Fiona get up together after untangling themselves from their unruly heap, the latter narrowing her eyes and hissing at Vivienne like an angered komodo dragon. Vivienne looks baffled, but immediately regrets the reaction when Fiona immediately responds with a chain of rapid knee and elbow strikes to the torso before whipping Vivienne over the ropes where she tumbles into the chain link of the cage. Zelda, meanwhile, manages to get to her feet, only for Jinx to strike in out of the chaos with a Get Jinxed!! Jinx goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
Zelda kicks out!}Terri Morasco: A close pin attempt by the Jinx! Jennie seen who she thinks is the weak link in this match, and nearly pulled a win out of her hat be focusing her down.
{Watching the other pairs of women slamming hard into the cage, Virginia gets a glint in her eye indicating that sheās not wanting to be outdone. With a phenomenal display of strength and agility, she grabs Diamond by the legs and flips her over to the outside of the ring. Jinx laughs after putting a foot on Zelda but Virginia is already charging in, into KMA, which drives Jinx hard backfirst into the plexiglass of the same pod she herself came throughā¦ AND THROUGH IT! Jinx crashes through the plexiglass and into the pod as Virginia continues to hammer away on the new comer. Everyone else inside the ring stops what theyāre doing to witness what has just occurred.}Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
{Virginia goes to town hard on Jinx as Diamond slowly moves towards Zelda who was going towards Fiona and Vivienne. Fiona has been continuing to abuse Vivienneās torso with superior striking range, and Vivienneās exhaustion is getting the better of her as she withers against the assault. Finally, Fiona stuns Vivienne long enough to land the Chrono Trigger! She goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
Jinx intercepts, tackling Fiona off of Rodgers to prevent her from making the pin. Vivienne rises to her feet, seeming somewhat shell-shocked as she looks at the carnage unfolding around her. Diamond seems to be having trouble fighting off Virginia, who is laughing like a monster as Zelda and Fiona go at it against one another. Diamond manages, if only barely, to crawl away for a few moments as Virginia follows herā¦ but while sheās distracted, Zelda appears behind the former Imperial Diamond champion, and drives her to the ground with Bad Breath! She goes for the cover!
ONE!
TW ā Virginia kicks out!}Vasco Dias: A bold effort from Zelda, but ultimately fruitless.
Terri Morasco: Even with her finisher, Virginiaās not nearly worn down enough to take down yetā¦
{Virginia slowly, dangerously whirls on Zelda, who looks as though she regrets every decision sheās ever made in her life as she begins to back away. Virginia lunges towards Simpson, grabbing the woman and pulling her into a triangle choke that has Zelda immediately screaming in pain. Diamond, meanwhile, is hauling herself to her feetā¦ but Vivienne and Fiona are already circling her like vultures. Whatever anger between these two women appears to have been put aside for the moment as both of them glare at the punk rock star with bloody-minded intent.}Vasco Dias: I think the former champ has earned a beatingā¦
{The two of them unleash themselves upon the weary and overwhelmed Diamond, laying into her with signiature after vicious signiature, turning the singer into a living rag doll. Neither of them go for the pin on the brutalized woman, knowing that doing so would instantly break the battlefield truce that the two of them have inadvertently formed, and so the two of them simply tear into their exposed prey as Virginia continues to single-handedly maul Zelda .
Zelda is bleeding, her arms barely responding to her commands as she desperately crawls away from her psychotic adversary. Virginia, however, is relentless, and hauls Zelda up by the hairā¦ before plowing into her with Claymore Kick! Zelda is knocked seemingly completely unconscious as Virginia goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR ā Genocide Kick.}Vasco Dias: THIS IS IT! Jinx with the genocide kick ON Virginia! ITāS ALL OVER!!!
{Time seems to stand still as Jinx looks down over Virginia, who has collapsed to the ground completely stunned. Jinx grins victoriously as she turns, not wanting to risk a pin attempt on Virginia but rather turning to the unconscious Zelda. With one last smirk, she shouts the word Watch this!ā before going for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE- RAISE YOUR GLASS!}
Vasco Dias: ā¦ No. No no no, no way, no DAMN wayā¦
{Vivienne stands in the ring, looking down on the unconscious Zelda, the momentarily dazed Jinx, and Virginia, who has managed to pull herself up to her knees. Vivienneās face is utterly unreadable as she looks at all three women, Fiona still ruthlessly breaking Diamond. She has every opportunity to continue her offense, butā¦ something stops her. For the second time in the match, Vivienne hesitatesā¦
ā¦ And Virginia capitalizes on the opportunity and goes for the pinfall, once again, on Zelda Simpson.
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, and 2022 Iron Maidenā¦ Virginia!!!!
{Bitch Better Have My Money starts to play as Virginia holds her fist above her head, smirking.}Terri Morasco: What an explosive Iron Maiden! I canāt believe what I just saw!
Vasco Dias: WHAT YOU SAW WAS ~Vivienne~ STEALING THE WIN FROM OUR RIGHTFUL WINNER!!!
Terri Morasco: Right, but you know this match is every women for themselves.
Vasco Dias: Itās not stealing if its whatās rightfully yours by divine providence!
{Virginia walks outside the ring. As she leaves, Vivienne Rodgers slowly rises to her feet and watches her go, expression unreadable before Jinx pushes her and starts yelling at her.}Terri Morasco: Woah!
{Jinx screams with rage and frustration as she screams, taking all of her anger out on the dumbstruck Rodgers. The refs pull the snarling woman away as Vivienne.}Jinx: Youāll pay for this! Youāll pay!
{Jinx shakes off the IWF personnel and storms away, not up the ramp following Virginia, but through the crowd. Virginia watches the madness unfold, a smile still playing around the corner of her lips, before raising her fists into the air triumphantly at the head of the ramp. Pyro explodes around her as the crowd once again cheers her triumph as the show comes to a close.} 
Well howdy there pardner.
