SEGMENT
“The Empire…"

----------------------------------------------------------

{The arena goes black as the drum roll blasts through the speakers before the guitars and bass kick in the Empire logo flashes on the screen a few times as if flickering before it almost seems to burn into the screen as the lyrics begin. The Empire make their way out through the curtain, Spike at the front with his Imperial Title held high. At his side is Killian Creed, and just a bit to the side of them both are Cable Arcane and Gjenrei, taking up the rear between them all is Amber Richards.

"GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!!

Times are changing.

We're bringing a new age in.

GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!!

Times are changing.

We're bringing a new age in.

Woo!"

The members all make their way to the ring, taking their time and their heads held high, ignoring the jeers, boos and insults from the crowd. Not even acknowledging them. The make their way into the ring, each doing something different, sliding under the ropes, rolling in, climbing through them, jumping over the ropes, climbing the stairs etc. They all stand in the ring before each member except Spike takes a turnbuckle and raises their arms above their heads, hands outstretched.

"You! I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.

I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.

I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.

Yeah, you, you've bitten off more than you chew.

This is Hacktivist motherf**kers!"

The lights dim and return to normal as the members all come together in the middle of the ring as they prepare to instigate their plan of action. Spike asks for a mic. }

Spike Kane: Here we stand, victorious. The newest era of IWF finally ushers itself in, and yes....despite all the bitching, despite all the shots taken in the dark by cowards too afraid to face their fate - I am at the head of it. I, who has worked so hard throughout my seventeen year long career, have clawed my way back to the top. I also brought a relic long thought gone back from the dead, with fresh blood, new blood. The most talented up and comers this federation has. Despite the rumoursthat Spike Kane only cares about himself, I surround myself with future stars. I surround myself with future champions.....each and every one of them is a protege to me, and each and every one of them is ten times better than every single one of you!

{Cue a chorus of boo's from the crowd, which just brings a smirk to Spike's face.}

Spike Kane: One man stood against us, form within our own ranks. So he was extradited and he was put on the executioners block. At Revolution I made a mockery out of Rob Diamond, and in doing so not only have I become the most successful Imperial Champion, but I'm also the longest reigning. The new era has truly begun, and despite the peons and paupers crying in their wheaties....nobody can stand against us.

{ The fans are booing wildly as he hands the mic off to Cable Arcane. }

Cable Arcane: Last week at October Revolution a request was made of me by our leader, he requested that I eliminate the man known as Mike Laszlo once and for all…

{ The crowd boo at this. }

Cable Arcane: Mike Laszlo is nothing more than a worthless piece of trash and I disposed of him as such. Hear this, wherever you are Mr Laszlo, do not show your face inside an IWF arena again or that little beating I gave you will seem like nothing. Next time, if you are foolish enough to try, you will breath your last…

{ Cable passes the mic off to Gjenrei. }

Gjenrei: I’m not a man of many words, so all you need to know is that this Cruiser Weight Championship is finally in the hands of man who knows true honor. A man who will represent this division with an honor. A man you can all finally look up to.

{ Gjenrei hands the mic off to Killian. }

Killian Creed: People still want to know why I joined the Empire, and I'm still not going to give you an answer. You see, I let my ring work do the talking for me, and you can see that I am the fastest rising superstar that this company has ever seen and despite being punished by Roberto Verona for the failures of the man who represents you all.....I'll be a champion is an due time!

{ As Killian Creed wraps up he is about to pass the mic to Ryan Blade but he is interrupted by “Mama said knock you out” as Rob Diamond steps out onto the ramp. }

Rob Diamond: Is this Imperial Wrestling or Imperial TALKING!? Because Jesus, I’m about to fall asleep back there!

{ The fans are popping huge for Rob. }

Rob Diamond: You know Spike, I’ve been thinking about everything you’ve had to say and to tell you the truth I’ve got two words for you.

{ The crowd yells SUCK IT!!!! }

Rob Diamond: Ya damn right. But hey, go ahead and gloat, you beat my ass with only the help of five other people but I promise you Spike, next chance I get it’s gonna be… OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!

{ The fans love the sound of that as “The Phoenix” hits and Xavier Cross steps out onto the ramp. Rob passes the mic off. }

Xavier Cross: I could say this, I could say that. But it isn't going to matter. The fact is. I got stabbed in the back, the fact is, everyone out here as jumped me at least once in the last month The fact is. I'm still right here. I don't care about your little blood feud Rob, and I damn sure could give two craps about your two little gimps back there. Yeah, Hi, Cable, G-Man, or even Domestic Violence Dave over here. Shave your face, you look like a rapist. What I care about, is you Blade. I was willing to give you everything, and this is how I repay you. You align yourself with the ugliest sons of bitches around. This little 'mean girls' club is totes shitty, and I'm gonna wake you up.

{"Another white lie" by Voodoo Johnson blasts from the speakers as Alex Jones walks through the entrance, Rob and Cross stand on either side and Alex refuses to make eye contact with them or even talk to them. Spike nods and smiles in the ring as Alex makes his way down in baggy blue jeans and a black Avenged Sevenfold hoodie.}

Vasco Dias: Did you see that Terri?....Alex didn't even look at Rob or Xavier...

Terri Morasco: That could mean anything Vasco

Vasco Dias: I'm taking it as a sign...Alex is going to undo that hoodie and reveal an Empire shirt I know it....

{Alex runs up the steps and takes a mic from a ringside assistant as the music dies down, Alex looks around at the members of the empire. He nods slowly slides a hand into his jeans}

Alex Jones: Well I guess I have an answer to give right?.....You know Spike, I pride myself on being a guy who can turn the world off when I go home. I get in bed, I close my eyes and I don't even think about wrestling. And I sleep like I'm still a baby. But the last two weeks since you came to me and asked me to be in the empire, well, I haven't been able to sleep. I've been laying in bed at night next to my beautiful wife, pregnant with our second child, a daughter.....and well....

{Alex breathes deep and looks at the fans and then around the ring and back to Spike.}

Alex Jones: You know I look at the people you've surrounded yourself with and I'm in awe man. You have Killian Creed, one of the brightest up and comers in the IWF and a guy who looks ready to kick someone's teeth in, you've got Ryan Blade a guy who's been so dominant it just doesn't make sense. I mean the guy has two belts....you have Honorbound two guys who were trained by one of the best and one of which beat me for the Cruiserweight title. Hell you've even got your token female member Amber who has been one of the top female wrestlers in this company and then..well there's you...

{Alex paces around the ring.}

Alex Jones: I've heard the rumors and the BS on the internet about how ol Spike Kane is hogging the spotlight again, even a former head of NCW and a former NCW world champion has been running his mouth but the thing is that I know you belong at the top. I know you earned that Imperial title and I know that you should be up there with the legends of this business....but my decision can't be based on the company I'd keep. My decision needs to come from the heart....

{Spike nods and claps his hands}

Spike Kane: Before you do Alex....first off, remember the crap we've been put through at the hands of those corrupt bastards who ran nCw. How that prick on the stage cost you your moment at the top of the mountain. Do I care what a bunch of hasbeens and neverwas' think of me? Hell no. If they gave half the shit they say they do, they would be here trying to stop me. Instead they are too scared, gathering like fish wives to tell their tales of how the horrible Spike Kane is stealing the limelight. They need to grow some balls and come say it to my face, so I can kick their teeth down their throats.....but you and I? We've been on opposite sides, and we've been team mates.....but we've always been friends Alex. We've been friends for 10 years Alex..come home...

{Alex breathes deep again and turns looking at Rob and Xavier then back at Spike}

Alex Jones: This journey I've been on the last few months has been hard. People didn't believe I'd changed, people refused to believe it. But you and even Rob had said that it was different this time. But thing is man, this thing has been about more than just what the fans and my friends think of me, it's been about my family, my kids....and that's why I have to say no Spike...

{The IWF fans start to go nuts as Alex shakes his head}

Alex Jones: This is wrong man, bringing back the empire?...Taking guys out?....It's not me anymore and I thought it wasn't you, you can rationalize it all you want but in the end it's about greed and your desire to keep that title....I will not be apart of it

{Alex lowers the mic and stands in front of the empire}

Spike Kane: I'm really disappointed to hear that Alex, it almost breaks my heart. Do you remember the last time you stood across the ring from me playing the part of the white knight? I remember.....I remember almost killing you in the Dragon's Den. I wish there was another way. I'm sorry...

{And like that Spike motions for the Empire to attack, they begin laying into Alex dropping him to the mat and beating him down with kicks and punches before Rob and Xavier run in to try and help him. Rob going straight for Spike and the two colliding with a flurry of fists, Xavier goes right for Blade. The crowd erupt into cheers as Mike Laszlo bolts through the curtain and down to the ring sliding in and evening the numbers up ever so slightly. The crowd are going nuts as the fight between all nine men continues, neither side seeming to gain the advantage when suddenly "King of the World" hits the speakers and the COO of IWF, Roberto Verona, marches out behind the curtains holding a microphone. }

Roberto Verona: That's enough! All of you, stop this right now!

{ The crowd boos as Roberto holds up a hand as the melee very gradually disperses and the two groups of men stares eachother down from across the ring. }

Roberto Verona: Don't get me wrong gentlemen, I would love nothing more than to watch you all tear one another apart right now...

{ The crowd pop as Verona raises a finger. }

Roberto Verona: However, I'd like to make more money out of your differences. Spike, you've been running your mouth a lot lately and whilst I'd love nothing more than to shut it for you there is a man who, as far as I am concerned is more than deserving of an opportunity to do it instead. In fact, he is standing in that very ring...

{ Roberto points down to the group standing defiantly against the Empire. }

Roberto Verona: Six months ago, in the final ever broadcast of New Championship Wrestling, Alex Jones ended the longest reign in company history, but he never got his chance to be the face of the franchise. Next week, I'll grant him the opportunity he earned in a match against you Spike.

{ Spike nods his head, beckoning for Alex to "bring it on". }

Roberto Verona: For the Imperial Championship!

{ The crowd suddenly blows the roof off the arena as Spike stares up the ramp in complete shock. Alex Jones smiles from ear to ear as Spike clutches his belt to his chest, backing away behind the rest of his Empire who try their best to reassure him. }

Roberto Verona: Fingers crossed he ends another record breaking reign.

{ Verona looks at the ring with a smile as the men seem reasonably happy, everyone except Spike Kane, before he tosses his microphone across the stage before turning and walking away and into the backstage area as the groups in the ring continue to trade insults, all whilst Spike Kane leans against the turnbuckles, clinging to his belt like a newborn. }

MATCH

Mason St. Croix vs Davey Ortega

----------------------------------------------------------

{Ladies and Genetleman'' hits the speakers as the fans have a mixed reaction. Davey Ortega comes from the back and stand on the entrance way looking to the ring, then eyeing both sides of the crowed. He walks down the ring with confidence, making his way up the stairs to the apron, he walks to the middle of the apron and turns to acknowledge the fans, raising his hand for a photo opportunity before he gets into the ring and waits.} 

Vasco Diaz: After his loss at the PPV Davey Ortega went on a verbal tirade against pretty much everyone. 

Terri Morasco: He does seem angry 

{ "My Time" by Soil begins playing and blue and white pyro shoots out from the walkway as Mason St. Croix makes his way to the ring slapping hands with the fans along the way. Once in the ring Mason climbs all four turnbuckles one at a time before hoping down and taking the center of the ring where he stands at attention with his eyes focused on his opponent.} 

Vasco Dias: What a story for this man, an army ranger coming home to become a pro wrestler I salute you sir. 

Terri Morasco: Andd even though this is all knew to him he has a natural ability 

{The bell rings and Ortega uses his opponents inexperiance and runs up behind Mason with a school boy 1....2....Mason kicks out, Ortega rolls to his side and uses his speed to get up before Mason and as Mason gets to one knee Ortega comes in with a swinging neckbreaker taking Mason down, Ortega stomps down on the chest of Mason over and over again, Ortega steps back and waits for Mason to get up, as he does Orttega comes flying in and leaps up grabbing Mason's head DDTing him to the mat, Ortega goes for a pin again 1...2....Mason kicks out again.} 

Terri Morasco: Ortega is firing Vasco 

Vaco Dias: He is and he caught Mason off guard 

{Ortega pulls Mason to his feet and goes for a hangmans neckbreaker, Mason spins around out of it and grabs Ortega's arm pulling him into a short arm clothesline. Mason explodes and pulls Ortega back up into a snap suplex, he floats over 1...2...Ortega kicks out, Mason locks in a headlock on the ground, Ortega moves himself around before getting to one knee, then to his feet, Ortega stomps on Mason's foot releasing the hold the referee gets pulled in close bu Ortega who then throws his leg up and back with a low blow to Mason sending him down.} 

Terri Morasco: Oh come on ref! 

Vasco Dias: Ortega does whatever he can to win you know that 

{Ortega calls for the setting sun (spear) and crouches in the corner, Mason pulls himself up still injured from the low blow, Ortega comes running in and Mason gets his knee up hitting Ortega in the face, Ortega stumbles back and Mason runs in hitting the warpath!(spear into a spinebuster) Mason pins 1.....2.....Ortega kicks out. Mason pulls Ortega up and whips him across the ring, Mason goes for a clothesline, Ortega ducks and springboards off the middle rope hitting the 21! kick(disaster kick) Ortega pins 1...2....Mason kicks out again} 

Terri Morasco: Mason kicking out and showing some heart 

Vasco Dias: After being kicked in the face! 

{Ortega pulls Mason up and hits a hard right hand, and another and another, he whips Mason into the corner and runs in. Mason hits a boot to Ortega who staggers forward, Mason grabs Ortega and hits the rangers way!(backdrop driver) he pins 1....2.....3} 

----------------------------------------------------------  

MATCH 

The Embassy vs Defenders of the Realm

----------------------------------------------------------

{ As the "My Life"by 12 Stones / "Bad Religion" by Godsmack mashup begins to blare through the arena. Each man comes out wearing a their customary fedoras and ring gears with a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "The Embassy" in ornate lettering. Accompanying them were several local ladies who are escorted to the side of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: Well, well, well there are some new tag teams in IWF and here comes the first of two, the EMBASSY! This guys look real promising.

Terri Morasco: Absolutely but we can’t sell the Defenders short either, Machado was a challenger for the Cruiser Weight title not so long ago.

Vasco Dias: I am very happy to see some new faces in the division and am looking forward to this match.

{ The opening guitar riffs to “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” ring out through the arena as the crowd gathers to their feet. Gerald Killingbeck bursts out from behind the curtain to the delight of the fans, Mike Machado right behind him. Gerald hoists his trademark battle-axe into the air with one hand, and slaps his chainmail helm repeatedly with the other. He lets out a primal scream and pyro explodes as the team makes their way to the ring. Machado slides in first, and begins to do windmill excercises to warm-up. Gerald climbs over the top rope and begins to take off his armor. }

Terri Morasco: The fans love the Defenders.

Vasco Dias: Everyone does, despite Machado’s complete lack of talent, ability, skill, wrestling knowledge the very basics of in ring psychology and a personality…

Terri Morasco: Vasco!

Vasco Dias: Sorry, I got distracted.

{ Gerald is going to start things off as is Aaron. The bell sounds and Aaron goes right for Gerald who connects with a big clothes line on the smaller man. Gerald is pumped and so is the crowd but Aaron Is right up and connects with a standing drop kick that drives Gerald into the Embassy corner where Kieth hits him over the back of the head with a forearm. Aaron runs in and leaps into the air with a big time splash and quickly makes the tag. }

Vasco Dias: Some sound team work here in the early going.

Terri Morasco: From what I’ve heard the Embassy has a long history outside of the IWF.

{ Kieth is right in the ring and starts hitting Gerald hard with some body shots in the corner before grabbing the second rope and driving multiple shoulder blocks into his midsection. Kieth backs off and pounds his chest and runs in with a massive clothes line in the corner and hit tosses Gerald out. Kieth tags Aaron back in who uses the ropes to senton into the ring and right on top of Gerald. He covers but Mike breaks up the pin at two. }

Vasco Dias: The Embassy is like a well oiled machine here.

Terri Morasco: Like I said, they appear to have quite the history outside of IWF.

Vasco Dias: Apparently so, I’m not sure what this means for the tag team champions or if we still have one but the Embassy is making their mark.

{ Kieth stays in the ring and stomps Gerald a few times as Aaron heads to the top rope and jumps off with a flying leg drop. Aaron pulls Gerald to his feet and both members hit the ropes and nail Gerald with a big time two man clothes line! }

Vasco Dias: Gerald is in a bad way here, he probably should consider tagging in the more… Experienced, I can’t believe I said that, Mike Machado.

Terri Morasco: Mike may know exactly what to do here.

{ Aaron pulls Gerald up and whips him into the Embassy corner and runs in with a shining wizard but Gerald explodes out with a clothes line and levels Aaron! Gerald tries to shake the cob webs loose as Kieth flies into the ring and starts clubbing Gerald over the back! }

Terri Morasco: NO! That was Gerald’s chance!

Vasco Dias: The Embassy has kept him isolating and is trying to continue to do so.

{ Gerald fires off a hard elbow and turns and head butts Kieth right in the face! Aaron is up and hits a flying forearm to the face and starts to kick Gerald over and over again in the gut but Gerald grabs him by the head and head butts him as well. Gerald turns and falls forward and tags in Mike Machado to the biggest pop of the night! }

Terri Morasco: MACHADO IS IN THE RING!

Vasco Dias: Here we go!

{ Machado is in and hits an ARM DRAGON ON AARON! ARM DRAGON ON KIETH! ARM DRAGON ON AARON! ARM DRAGON ON KIETH! Both members of the Embassy are up and Machado kicks Aaron in the gut, kicks Kieth in the gut and TWO MAN ARM HIP TOSS!!!! Machado stomps to the corner, climbs to the top and MUSTACHE RIDE ON BOTH MEMBERS OF THE EMBASSY!!!! }

Vasco Dias: Machado is looking surprisingly good!

Terri Morasco: And the fans are on their feet for it!

{ Aaron gets to his feet and walks into the Jean Claude Van Dam like open handed palm to the gut that Machado will forever call the BLOOD SPORT!!!! As Machado just makes a very loud and almost orgasmic groaning noise before pulling Aaron into the MIGHT OF MEDIOCRITY!!! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! Kieth hits Mike milli seconds after the three and the Embassy are quickly to their feet and trying to keep this fight going as Gerald storms the ring. }

Vasco Dias: The Defenders of the Realm have picked up their first win as a team over the debuting Embassy and what a match for Mike Machado!

Terri Morasco: If it works don’t fix it and it worked darn well.

Vasco Dias: Shockingly enough.

{ The Embassy is very upset as both Mike and Gerald leave the ring to celebrate with their fans. }

SINGLES MATCH
Jessica Reed vs Isabella Maldini

----------------------------------------------------------

{ "I Get Off" by Halestrom erupts from the PA system as the audience begins to boo before Isabella emerges from behind the curtain in a sultry fashion, closely followed by The Watchman. The pair walk to the ring as Isabella begins to playfully flirt with the fans at ringside whilst her companion follows her stoically until they reach ringside. Isabella hops up onto the apron before bending over in a very obvious fashion before slowly climbing through the ropes as The Watchman slowly circles the ring. Isabella stands on the ropes and blows a kiss towards the camera before preparing for her match to start. }

Terri Morasco: Well this next match is a little uneven in my opinion, Isabella hasn’t been on tv and weeks and is now being paired off against Jessica Reed

Vasco Dias: You think the boss is trying to send a message?

Terri Morasco: Definitely.

{ "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and once again the crowd responds with a rather lukewarm and tepid mixture of cheers and boos as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain, once again wearing simple gym clothes as opposed to her normal elaborate attire. Avoiding eye contact with the fans she drags the title along behind her as she reaches the ring where she quickly rolls in and walks to her corner, her eyes down at the mat the whole time. }

Vasco Dias: And here is the Diamond’s Champion, as lovely as ever.

Terri Morasco: Do you hear those fans? Some of them are actually starting to boo?

Vasco Dias: Wow, Simon has really done a number on this division. Jessica has been nothing but an exemplary champion.

Terri Morasco: I can’t believe this.

{ Isabella shakes her head as the ref calls for the bell. The two women dance around each other for a moment before locking up. Isabella goes for a side head lock but Jess pushes her off and into the ropes. Isabella comes back and Jess looks for a standing drop kick! Isabella is down and Jess is right up and goes for the ropes, she spring boards off with a splash but Isabella moves out of the way. Isabella is up and she catches Jess with a stiff kick to the gut and knees her in the face. Jessica falls back and Isabella charges her with a big shoulder block. }

Terri Morasco: Isabella is all over Jess.

Vasco Dias: I guess that disproves Simon’s theory that Jess doesn’t have any competition.

{ Isabella pulls Jess up to her feet and knees her again in the stomach and then sends her flying with a hair toss. Jess tries to get up but Isabella hits her with another shoulder block and then stomps Jess hard across the chest. Isabella backs into the ropes and comes back with a knee right across the bridge of Jess’ nose. Isabella stands her up and fires off a hard forearm shiver and then another and then hooks Jess up for a snap suplex. }

Vasco Dias: Isabella is looking impressive tonight

Terri Morasco: Better than expected as far as our illustrious boss is concerned. That was sarcasm by the way.

{ Isabella taunts the crowd as he walks around Jess. Reed tries to roll over and get to her feet but Isabela takes her by the hair and slams her face first into the mat with a bull dog. Isabella gets up and lets out a nice roar to the dismay of most of the crowd, though she has some supporters. Jess is starting to get up and Isabella flies into her with another shiver, then sends her into the ropes and Isabella runs in with a big clothes line. She grabs Jess around the waist and sends her flying over her head with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Jess tries to get up but Isabella hits a running boot to the side of the face and goes for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Terri Morasco: I’m impressed by the amount of offense that Isabella is getting in here, Jessica Reed has got to be on the ropes.

Vasco Dias: She’s sure taking a real beating.

{ Isabella shrugs it off and rips Jess off the mat and fires another shiver into the side of her head and then kicks her hard in the gut and drops her with a ddt. Isabella gets right up and stamps down hard on the chest of the champion before walking over her. She reaches down and pulls her up and hits several hard shivers to the side of the head and then sends her onto her back with a hip toss. Jess lands on her tail bone and Isabela kicks her hard in the back. Isabella looks for a rear chin lock and pulls back hard. Jess struggles to reach the ropes and eventually manages to get them. }

Vasco Dias: Simon must be tearing his hair out right now.

Terri Morasco: I can only imagine the screaming going on backstage, he’s built Jessica up as this unbeatable idol and right now she’s really on the ropes.

Vasco Dias: Absolutely, Isabella may be about to pick up a huge win.

{ Jessica Reed pulls herself up on the ropes and Isabella runs into her and looks for a whip into the corner but Jess suddenly reverses it and sends Isabella into the corner. Jessica Reed runs in with the Shining Wizard knee in the corner and the running bull dog out! }

Terri Morasco: REED IS BACK![/font][/span]

{ Jess spins to her feet and Isabella tries to get right up but Jess grabs her for one German suplex, then two then THREE AMIGOS!!! }

Vasco Dias: She’s snapped back from the brink!

{ Isabella is down and Jess looks to the crowd and it’s PEANUT BUTER JELLY TIME!!! Standing shooting star press! }

Terri Morasco: I don’t believe this, Jessica Reed has taken complete control of this match with less than a hand full of moves!

Vasco Dias: She’s the champ for a reason!

{ Isabella tries to get up but Jess nails the DUCK FACED DDT! }

Terri Morasco: Amazing!

Vasco Dias: She’s unstoppable!

{ Jess looks around and the crowd pops huge as she pulls Isabella up for the LOLidrop! Jess covers and ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed wins another match! The streak keeps on going!

Vasco Dias: The golden child of the diamond’s division is secure in her top spot.

Terri Morasco: And I’m sure Simon is damn proud of her.

{ Jessica Reed celebrates the win, but before she has the opportunity to do so the crowd erupts into boos as Simon de Montfort walks onto the stage with a microphone in his hand, clapping as he does so. }

Simon de Montfort: Miss Reed, fantastic, another stellar performance from our Diamond amongst the rough. Can I get a round of applause for the beautiful Jessica Reed?

{ The crowds boos as Jessica looks at Simon with deep suspicion. }

Simon de Montfort: Is that the best you people can do? Come on, let me hear you!

{ The crowd erupts with a much greater boo and a few chants of "asshole" as Simon smiles from ear to ear. }

Simon de Montfort: You people are never grateful, standing before you is the single greatest female performer in this company and you don't show her one ounce of respect. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Seen as you do not wish to be co-operative then I will make this short and sweet.

{ Simon clears his throat. }

Simon de Montfort: Miss Maldini, this concerns you.

{ Isabella looks up from the canvas at Simon, though she is still a little dazed. Reaching into his pocket the CEO retrieves a piece of paper. }

Simon de Montfort: I have just received this fax from the IWF Legal Department on the instruction of the IWF Board of Directors. It is my utmost regret to inform you that due to your recent unsavoury comments and your inability to compete with the face of our brand your employment with the Imperial Wrestling Federation has been rendered void immediately.

{ Isabella can't believe it, and neither can the fans who, in a bizarre show of solidarity, begin to boo this decision as Simon simply stands still. }

Terri Morasco: What the hell is this? Isabella dominated this match!

Vasco Dias: It sounds to me like this decision was already made regardless...

Simon de Montfort: The IWF Board of Directors extends it's sincerest condolences and wishes you well in your future endeavours.

{ Simon turns to leave before suddenly he pauses, turning round again. }

Simon de Montfort: Oh, and one last thing. Take that seven foot freak with you.

Vasco Dias: Wait, Watchman is fired too? What did he do?

Terri Morasco: Like you said, I think this decision was made back at HQ some time ago...

{ Simon smiles and walks away as Jess stands in total disbelief, apologising as much as she can to Isabella who simply isn't interested. The crowd continues to boo and show their disatisfaction. Realising she is trying in vain Jessica Reed walks towards the ropes to get out of the ring when a voice over the PA startles her}

Amber Richards: Hey Jessica!

{Jess stops and looks towards the large screen, we find Amber Richards backstage with a smile on her face}

Amber Richards: Great to see you champ. You know Jess, I've been struggling with how to approach our impending collision. See I tried to respect women like yourself and Ana Valentine, but thing is that it's just not me. But I'm going to help you, see I want to face the best Jessica Reed ever. So I'm going to help you focus. And in saying focus I want you to think about why I have these items, not how I got them.....

{Amber turns and picks up what looks to be a copy of the PS3 game "The Last of Us"}

Amber Richards: This is a copy of the hit video game "The Last of Us" staring Willem Defoe and Ellen Paige, available in all good retailers... A game I know you are very fond of Jess. In fact...this is your copy.....and here's my proof....

{Amber opens up the game and on the inner sleeve is a small heart sticker, Jess starts flipping out in the ring screaming "how did you get that?"}

Amber Richards: You don't need these kinds of distractions Jess....

{Amber turns to a barrel that has a small fire burning in the bottom and tosses the game into it}

Amber Richards: You will see that this is for your own good golden girl. We all know that the management here at IWF is behind you but they will lead you astray and distract you...just like video games...so...I'm doing you another favor....with this...

{Amber steps back and we find a PS3 sitting on a table with a small heart sticker on the top indicating that it is in fact property of Jessica Reed. Jessica recognizes this and shakes her head again screaming at the screen. Amber picks up a sledgehammer and raises it above her head and brings it crashing down onto the console smashing it to bits, Amber does it a few more time before throwing the sledgehammer down laughing}

Amber Richards: I guess you'll have a lot more free time now sweetheart....

{Amber blows a kiss at the screen and it switches to black, leaving Jess absolutely distraught in the ring as we fade to a commercial break. }

“Privileges"

{ We re-join Sacrifice to see the COO of IWF, Roberto Verona, walking down a corridor when suddenly Steve Awesome can be seen sprinting towards him in the background, shouting after him. }

Steve Awesome: Hey, you!

{ Roberto stops in his tracks and sighs. }

Roberto Verona: Mr Awesome, what can I do for you?

Steve Awesome: Erm, how about for a start you explain to me why that chump Alex Jones has been given a title shot and I have to pay for my own taxi fair?

Roberto Verona: Alex more than deserves a chance at Spike Kane...

{ Steve holds up a hand. }

Steve Awesome: Yeah, yeah, he's really neat and is a nice guy now or something, whatever. That doesn't explain why the Face of the Franchise is stuck wrestling in the midcard and not getting an opportunity to help his buddy Rob Diamond deprive Spike of that belt of his.

Roberto Verona: Steve, you've wrestled a total of one match, what on earth make you think you've earned a Imperial title shot?

Steve Awesome: I won't dignify that with a response.

{ Roberto looks at Steve, clearly becoming increasingly impatient. }

Roberto Verona: Then are we done here? Believe it or not my time doesn't revolve around you.

Steve Awesome: Did you fire her?

Roberto Verona: Fire who?

Steve Awesome: The receptionist who refused to send me the private jet. She had the audacity to drag your name into disrepute and suggest you and the Board don't feel I deserve these privileges, can you believe it?

{ Roberto shakes his head. }

Roberto Verona: I don't have time for this. You can either travel in first class like everyone else or purchase your own jet.

{ Roberto turns and walks away as Steve stands looking completely confused before he suddenly begins to pursue the COO. }

Steve Awesome: What about my taxi back to the hotel!? Hey...boss, hey!

{ Steve and Roberto both walk out of view as we re-join Terri and Vasco at ringside read for our next match. }

SINGLES MATCH
Crystal Hilston vs Ana Valentine

----------------------------------------------------------

{All of a sudden “Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco starts playing all over the Pa system. Two lights are pointed at the entrance way. Crystal Emerges through the curtains and is greeted by multiple pyros that start shooting off one by one. The crowd roars at her with a loud ovation of boos and she slowly makes her way out walking down the aisle. Crystal cracks a grin as her photographers line up to take a picture of her but she turns her nose up at the fans as she makes her way to the ring. She finally makes it to the ring and places one foot on the apron and stretches the other one on the apron as well. She does a split to enter the ring and she finally makes it to her feet. She smiles bouncing around a bit as she awaits her opponent to come out..}


Vasco Dias: "Many people will remember Crystal from her NCW fame, she's setting off on a career in IWF, and has been off to a great start."

Terri Morasco: "More importantly, her opponent tonight has been on a surge, Ana Valentine is shooting to the top of everyone's list in the Diamond's Division, and on the tip of every tongue."

Vasco Dias: "Hmmm...slutty..."

{Ana steps out and places a perfectly manicured hand to her pink lips, she presses her fingertips into a kiss and them blows it out to the crowd, before flashing them a sly smirk. She makes her way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope, in a crawl forward fashion and pulls up from her feet all the way up with a bend at the hips easily, before moving off to a corner to stretch out.}

Vasco Dias: "And the always lovely Ana Valentine!"

Terri Morasco: "This is a match up of the rising star, and the former glory of NCW. Let's see who has what going forward!""

{The ref signals for the bell, as both women side step, circling each other. Before stepping forward, locking up. Ana gets the early advantage with a tight head lock. Crystal throws an elbow, pushing Ana off, before irish whipping her into the ropes, Ana rebounds as Crystal catches her with a quick arm drag putting her to the mat, but Ana bonces back up. Crystal goes for a second, but Ana catches Crystal's forearm, twisting it, before wrenching it behind her back. Crystal fights out of it, reversing, and pushing Ana forward, Ana aims a high kick to counter, but Crystal ducks it running forward, hitting the ropes, twisting her body in mid air catching Ana with a huge springboard clothesline.}

Vasco Dias: "Great back and forth action from these two ladies!"

Terri Morasco: "Each has a counter for the other, great effort, great effort!"

{Ana picks herself up, holding her head. Crystal gets a reaction from the crowd. Ana steps forward, Crystal sends a kick, but Ana catches it, pulling Crystal into her, aiming for a belly to belly suplex. Crystal flexes her arms out, breaking Ana's grip on her. Crystal looks to hit a belly-to-belly of her own, but Ana throws a huge headbutt, catching Crystal right between the eyes. Crystal staggers back, and Ana shows her athleticism, leaping into the air, catching Crystal with a hurricanrana!}

Vasco Dias: "Counter, to counter, to headbutt! Ana is going all out!"

Terri Morasco: "Not many people use their heads as weapons, Ana is showing some badassery!"

{Crystal sits up, a little dazed. Ana picks herself up, running forward, rebounding off the ropes, she sends a hard kick to the chest of Crystal Hilton, putting Crystal onto her back. Ana looks up at the top rope, before quickly ascending to the top. Crouching down at the top, Ana scouts it, before lifting off into the air with a beautiful moonsault. But Crystal has enough sense to throw her knees up, catching Ana at the worst possible possession, as Ana rolls off, holding her ribs. Crystal picks herself up, looking around, she pulls at Ana's legs, dragging her to the center of the ring.}

Vasco Dias: "This could be it...it doesn't look promising for Ana now..."

Terri Morasco: "The submission finisher looks like it's on it's way."

{Crystal picks the leg of Ana Valentine up, sending a kick just below the knee. Then shaking the leg to try to add more damage to the back of the knee. Ana tries to fight out of it, but Crystal has a tight grip. Leaning down to grab the other leg. Ana plants the boot right into the stomach of Crystal, as Crystal leans over, the wind knocked out of her. Ana throws another kick upwards, catching Crystal right underneath the jaw. Crystal staggers back into the ropes. Ana quickly gets up.}

Vasco Dias: "Kick! Kick! Kick! Go Ana, you gotta keep fighting!"

Terri Morasco: "She's only delaying the inevitable. Crystal Hilton has this on lock!"

{Ana charges forward, Crystal looks up, and runs at her with a clothesline. Crystal spins, as Ana keeps going through. She springboards off the ropes, but Crystal catches her midair, hitting a snap spinebuster. Looking down, seeing how dazed Ana is, grabbing Ana's legs. Crystal wastes no time, slipping around, locking in the Withering Rose. Ana struggles, letting out a scream of pain. Ana tries to drag it over to the ropes, reaching out. But Crystal isn't playing around, dragging Ana back to the center of the ring. Ana tries to fight it as long as possible, but has to tap out.}


Vasco Dias: "My god. Crystal did it. Submission finish!"

Terri Morasco: "But really, this match could have gone either way, each one had a counter for the other. Great match ladies!"

"Love And Marriage"

We cut to backstage where we Rachel and Kathleen Conway standing in the hallway backstage engaged in a conversation.

Rachel: Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, how do you do it?

Kathy raises an eyebrow.

Kathleen Conway: Do what?

Rachel: Convince the man you love to pop the question?

Kathleen Conway smiles.

Kathleen Conway: Ah that...well, it's never easy. I mean it took Jake and I two years to finally come around to it.

Rachel: Really? Two years? God. I guess it was worth it though, you guys seem so happy in spite of all the criticisms you guys get.

Kathleen Conway: I learned a long time ago that everybody's a critic in this business. If you listen to and let them get to you, you'll never do the things that truly make you happy.

Rachel nods, taking the advice in. Suddenly The Ace walks into shot and puts an arm around his wife, the two share a brief kiss.

The Ace: Hey honey, ready to go? I made us a reservation since we have the night off.

Kathy nods.

Rachel: You guys have dinner plans?

Kathleen Conway: Yes, Jake thought we ought to go out for a nice romantic meal. Five years of marriage and he's still so thoughtful.

Rachel grins.

Rachel: Awwww. How sweet! 

Kathleen Conway: Yes...yes, he is.

"Rachel!"

Eddie Black's voice announces his presence before he comes into shot. He turns to his valet and girlfriend.

Eddie Black: Where have ya been? I've been looking for ya.

Rachel: I just went to grab some coffee, ran into Kathy and we got talking. No big deal.

Eddie glances at The Ace and Kathy.

Eddie Black: What were ya talkin' ta this has been and his ol' lady about?

Rachel: Nothing....

Eddie Black: Nothin' huh?

Eddie Black notices The Ace staring at him.

Eddie Black: Whatcha lookin' at ol' man?

The Ace smirks.

The Ace: Nothin'...

Eddie steps up to The Ace, but Kathy puts a hand on her husband's chest.

Kathleen Conway: Come on honey,  let's not spoil our evening. Let's just go and enjoy out night off.

At the behest of his wife, The Ace backs off.

MATCH
Steve Awesome vs Ryan Blade

----------------------------------------------------------

{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting his name.}

"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"

Dramatic Pause.

"REGRETS I'VE GOT MINE............!"

{All of a sudden "Full of Regrets" comes bursting out of the speakers like a shotgun as Steve Awesome steps out onto the stage. He turns backwards and shows off his vest with a big Steve Awesome graphic on it. Then he peaks his head back and smirks into the camera as pyros blast off on the stage on opposite sides.}

Vasco Dias: ‘This will be a big match up for Steve, Ryan Blade is one of the best of the new crop of talent.”

Terri Morasco: “But Steve Awesome has done and seen it all, He’s light years beyond Ryan Blade!”

{The intro to Adelitas Way's "The Collapse" begins, and the lights in the arena flicker at a rapid pace. When the music hits its' stride, Ryan Blade steps out onto the stage in a flash. He walks to each side of the stage and looks out at the crowd, before his girlfriend, Chelsea joins by his side. He points at his cheek and leans to the side, allowing her to plant a kiss on his cheek. He looks out to the crowd and smirks before heading down the ramp.}

Announcer: "Making his way down the aisle.... Accompanied by Chelsea.... From Virginia Beach, Virginia.... Weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds..... Ryan Blade!"

{Ryan and Chelsea walk down the entrance ramp, looking cocky while doing so. Blade goes up the ringside stairs and walks over on the apron, pulling the second and third ropes apart. Chelsea steps into the ring, and Ryan quickly follows, jumping over the top rope and immediately climbing to the second turnbuckle, looking out to the crowd. Chelsea applauds while Ryan looks out into the sea of fans, before jumping down and removing his ring jacket, while Chelsea fans herself off. Ryan gets another quick good luck kiss before helping his girlfriend out of the ring, and turning back towards the ring as he waits for the match to start.}

Vasco Dias: “For those of you living under a rock, Ryan Blade is still the man of steel champion, and the faux heavyweight champion.”

Terri Morasco: “Neither man lost, nor did they win, and they lost in the way of the stipulation where the belts wouldn’t change hands anyway.”

Vasco Dias: “Very complicated…”

{The bell rings, and Steve charges forward looking to kick his offense off on all gears, but Ryan Blade slides out of the ring, as Steve runs up the turnbuckle, holding his arms open, as the fans go crazy. Blade steps back a bit, giving a smirk with a arrogant clap, before sliding back into the ring. Steve hops down, looking to charge at Blade again, who side steps and slides out of the ring once more, as the fans begin booing loudly at the Man of Steel.}

Vasco Dias: “It didn’t start well when Blade walked into the the ring holding both titles, the fans believe that Xavier Cross is the true Heavyweight Champ.”

Terri Morasco: “And Steve Awesome is Cross’s best friend, hashtag revenge?”

Vasco Dias: “Stop that.”

Terri Morasco: “Lol…”

{Steve walks over to the apron, leaning over, jawing at Blade. Who shrugs his shoulders, but as quick as a cat leaps up grabbing Steve by the head, dropping down, bringing Awesome’s throat across the ropes. Steve staggers backwards, clutching his neck. Blade quickly slides into the ring. Stepping behind Steve, still mocking before dropping a low shoulder to the back of Steve Awesome’s knee. Blade sends a hard boot to the side of Steve Awesome, before dropping an elbow.}

Terri Morasco: “That scoundrel!”

Vasco Dias: “Blade is a patient predator. Waiting for Steve to get pissed enough, then striking.”

{Blade is focusing on keeping Steve grounded, with a series of quick elbow drops. But Blade’s arrogance gets the best of him, as he leans down, slapping Steve in the back of the head, shouting taunts at him. Steve quickly throws a thumb up, catching Blade in a quick small package pin.}

1...2..

{Blade quickly kicks out, putting distance between himself and Steve. Steve slides up, adjusting his knee pad, before winking at Blade. Who steps forward, trying to get big with Steve Awesome, before slapping Awesome across the face. Steve steps back, holding his face, a smirk stretched across. Blade swings again but Steve ducks the strike, Blade turns around as Steve reaches around catching Blade with a belly to belly release suplex. Blade slams against the match, arching his back in pain. Steve spins a bit, returning to one knee, pointing towards the fans.}

Vasco Dias: “Say what you will, but Steve Awesome knows how to work a crowd.”

Terri Morasco: “He can work me anyday.”

Vasco Dias: “Gross..”

{Blade picks himself up, getting more and more frustrated. Stepping right into Steve trap, who ducks down, hitting the SteveKO out of nowhere. Blade is lights out. Awesome drops to his knees, wrapping the leg up as the ref slides down for the count.}

1…..2…….3

Vasco Dias: “Steve Awesome has done it, a hard earned victory against Ryan Blade!”

{Steve Awesome gets his hand held up by the ref, before quickly running into the crowd to soak up the fan's love. Suddenly as Ryan Blade gradually gets back to his feet Simon de Montfort re-emerges once again, a microphone clutched in his hand. Blade immediately asks for his two title belts and clutches them to his chest as he waits for Simon to speak. }

Simon de Montfort: Commiserations Mr Blade, you can't win them all...

{ Blade scowls at Simon. }

Simon de Montfort: But fear not, I bring you good news which will no doubt cheer you up. Gentlemen, could please roll the footage as agreed?

{ Suddenly the tron kicks into life as we see a video replay, in depth, of the match between Ryan Blade and Xavier Cross from October Revolution. One of the camera angles clearly displaying that Cross' shoulders were down for the controversial three count. The footage plays a couple more times before Simon raises his microphone again. }

Simon de Montfort: After a great deal of scrutiny I am pleased to announce that Ryan Blade is the new, undisputed, IWF Heavyweight Champion!

{ In the ring Ryan jumps with joy as the crowd boo, but he doesn't care at all. }

Simon de Montfort: However! Before you get too carried away Mr Blade, considering the controversial nature of your victory, I regret to inform you that you will be expected to defend the Man of Steel title before the next pay-per-view in November and, in the nature of fairness, I will allow another gentleman to select your opponent for that match. In fact, allow me to introduce that champion...

{ Blade begins to protest but he is soon drowned out as Xavier Cross' music blasts out of the PA system and crowd goes absolutely wild, much to the chagrin of Ryan Blade. Cross walks out onto the stage with a rather large grin on his face, evidently satisfied with himself. }

Xavier Cross: You look like you've seen a ghost Ryan, what's the matter? Does my belt not war off karma?

{ Blade shouts up the ramp as Cross laughs. }

Xavier Cross: Now I know you're a fighting champion who has the utmost integrity, so, trust me when I say that I will make sure I find you a competitive opponent. However, it is pretty difficult to pick an opponent, I mean it needs to be somebody who is capable of putting himself through extreme pain to win, somebody who has a burning desire to stamp his mark on the company, somebody who... well, you know very well.

{ Xavier Cross smiles. }

Xavier Cross: Killian Creed.

{ Blade's eyes open wide as he can barely string a sentence together to contest the decision whilst Cross continues to smile at him. Simon then takes a step forward. }

Simon de Montfort: However, Mr Blade, do not fear, we here at the Imperial Wrestling Federation do not play favourites...

{ Simon smiles at the camera rather sardonically. }

Simon de Montfort: Myself and the Board of Directors have taken the decision to disallow Xavier Cross from fighting you for either the IWF Heavyweight or IWF Man ot Steel championships...

{ Blade suddenly begins to calm down a little. }

Simon de Montfort: Unless of course he manages to qualify for the Extermination Event match at Survival of the Fittest... Mr Cross, you want your belt back? Next week you will compete in our first qualifying match for the Extermination Event against an opponent of my choosing. If you win, you get your chance to take either of Mr Blade's belts, or even perhaps Mr Kane's. However, if you lose, you can kiss goodbye to your chance at regaining your belt and I suggest you keep as far away from the Empire as possible.

{ Simon turns to walk away as Cross seems to nod and accept his fate whilst Blade continues to argue in the ring as we fade away to a commercial break. }

Jessica Reed: I can't believe this! Is nothing sacred!?

{ Suddenly the crowd erupts into boos as Simon de Montfort walks into shot. }

Simon de Montfort: Good evening, Miss Reed. You're looking well.

Jessica Reed: What do you want? Haven't you caused enough damage?

{ Simon feigns being hurt. }

Simon de Montfort: Miss Reed, I am hurt. I am merely protecting my company's investment and ensuring that you continue to be provided appropriate challenges worthy of your ability, is that such a bad thing?

Jessica Reed: If it means I have some creepy woman sneaking in my room and stealing my personal stuff and you humiliating me on television every week, yes. Yes it is.

Simon de Montfort: Humiliating? If I remember quite correctly you are still undefeated, still the Diamond's champion. So a few people boo? It is the green eyes of jealousy my dear, they were never going to tolerate you as champion forever, they are fickle, they cheer the latest fad, not true talent.

{ Simon smiles. }

Simon de Montfort: However, I had a feeling you may not forgive me that easily, so, after Amber's transgressions, which will be severely dealt with, I pulled a few strings...

{ Simon waves a hand and two crew members walk into shot carrying a large box, which they place on a table next to Jess who eyes the package suspiciously. }

Simon de Montfort: Consider it compensation.

{ Jess hesitates for a moment before reaching down and slowly peeling away the wrapping paper until her eyes widen and her face is awash with excitement, though quickly replaced with suspicion. }

Jessica Reed: Are you trying to bribe me Mr de Montfort?

Simon de Montfort: Not at all, merely replacing something that was unduly taken from you. Good day Miss Reed.

{ Simon smiles again before turning around and leaving Jess alone as she peels the rest of the paper away to reveal a brand new, pre-release, PlayStation 4. Waiting until she is completely alone Jess lunges forward and hugs the box tightly, making a collection of excited noises as our camera slowly fades to a commercial break. }

SINGLES MATCH
Ashley Mastrangelo vs Eternity

----------------------------------------------------------

The lights in the arena go down to a blue hue and purple smoke begins to fill the entrance way as the banging drums of "Apex Predator" by Otep resound throughout the arena, the sirens and the lyrics introduce Eternity to the audience and as the adults boo, the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she walks down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. This gesture seems to trigger a change in the lights as they are now raised and she continues her journey down the ramp, carrying her hat in her right hand accompanied by the chorus.


Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, from The Other Side...ETERNITY!

She slides under the bottom rope into the ring an when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a slight skip and then the splits where she ends her entrance by putting her hat back on her head and tilting it slightly forward so it obscures her face.


Vasco Dias: Another tough opponent lies ahead of our young fighting Ruby Champion here tonight. Can she continue to ride the huge wave of momentum she has been on ever since defeating Amber Richards? Eight days ago, Ashley managed to pull off what many consider to be a huge upset by defeating Kathleen Conway to retain her Championship.

Terri Morasco: Many people have speculated that Eternity was involved in that match and her agenda was to once again screw Kathleen Conway, though Eternity herself appears to have no agenda because even if she was involved, both challenger and champion were left unconscious at October Revolution.

The opener of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey plays throughout the arena causing fans to stand to their feet and cheer. As the song begins with “Just a small town girl…” Ashley walks out to the stage with the IWF Ruby Championship around her waist and the crowd gives her a warm reaction. She scours the crowd from left to right with her hand over her eyes like the brim of a hat. As the song continues, and the crowd begins singing along with the popular hit.

Alison Valance: And her opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio, she is the IWF Ruby Champion....ASHLEY MASTRANGELOOOO!

As the crowd continues to sing-along Ashley makes her way to the ring, and up the steps. She jumps onto the near turnbuckle, unhooking her Championship, she raises it above her head and poses for the crowd who give her another great reaction. As Ashley is playing to the cheering crowd, she hears some booing behind her and she is struck in the face by Eternity's hat as she turns around to see that it was Eternity who was booing.

Ashley is not nearly as amused as Eternity as Ashley hops down from the turnbuckle and hands her title off to a stagehand. Eternity continues to be consumed by childish fits of giggles as she points and laughs at Ashley.

Terri Morasco: Does somebody want to clue me in on what the hell is so funny?

Vasco Dias: Well, I think that would be Ashley, at least according to Eternity.

Ashley moves her right forefinger in a circular motion whilst pointing to the side other head. This stops the laughter and Eternity cocks her head to the side as she looks confused at Ashley.

Eternity then runs at Ashley and tackles her to the ground, delivering shot after shot to the side of a bewildered Ashley's head, yelling at her as she does so.

Eternity: I'M NOT CRAZY! I'M NOT!

The Diamonds referee seems to be struggling right off the bat to maintain control of the match as Ashley manages to regain her bearings enough to roll Eternity over, but as she does so, both women tumble out of the ring, wrapped up in their catfight. They land in front of the announce table, and Eternity is once again on top of her opponent, laying into Ashley as the crowd are booing.

Vasco Dias: Remind me never to call Eternity crazy...at least not to her face!

Terri Morasco: She certainly has taken some great exception to the idea.

Seizing her advantage, Eternity gets off Ashley and pulls her up by her hair and walks her over to the announce table and bounces her head off the top of the desk, not satisfied with doing it just once, Eternity keeps a hold of Ashley's pretty blonde hair and counts each bounce of Ashley's head as she delivers it.

Eternity: TWO...THREE...FOUR....FIVE....SIX...SEVEN...EIGHT....NINE.....

Eternity pauses and flashes a creepy smile as she locks eyes with Terri. As she delivers the tenth blow to the head of the Ruby Champion, Eternity laughs and the force of the impact has caused Ashley to pull the top of the announce table off as she crumples to the floor. The crowd are booing mercilessly.

Eternity: TEN!

Terri Morasco: This is absolutely disgusting and entirely unnecessary. Somebody needs to stop this!

Vasco Dias: Technically this match hasn't even officially started yet, Terri...

Terri Morasco: If the IWF Board Of Directors want to get involved in "fixing" the running of the Diamonds division, why don't they get involved when it really matters and stop things like this?

Vasco Dias: I'd be careful what you say Terri, Mr De Montford may be listening.

Eternity starts to rip out the monitors from the announce table, tossing them aside. Eternity then pulls Ashley to her feet , and drags her on to the top of the announce table. Both women are now stood on the announce table as Eternity kicks Ashley in the gut, and places the pretty blonde's head in between her thighs, hooking her arms behind her.

Terri Morasco: NO...MY GOD NO, DON'T DO THIS!

Vasco Dias: It could be Ashley Mastrangelo's Last Rites here...

The crowd are booing as Eternity is laughing as she looks out at the crowd. Just as it seems Ashley might be put down and out of this match, she counters the Last Rites attempt by body back dropping Eternity onto the Spanish announce table, which does NOT break and instead Eternity's back bounces off it before she hits the floor.

The crowd erupt into cheers and a chant breaks out across the arena for the young Ruby Champion.

Crowd: LET'S GO ASH-LEY! LET'S GO!

Ashley looks over her shoulder and Eternity has not moved. Ashley then hops off the announce table, and runs over to the ring, sliding back in under the bottom rope. As Ashley finds her feet, the Diamonds referee finally calls for the bell to officially start the contest.

DING! DING! DING!

Eternity still hasn't moved as the referee leans over the ropes. She looks over at Ashley who has taken to a corner to shake the cobwebs and get herself into the match, but it might not matter for too much longer as the official uses her discretion to begin her ten count and the crowd count along.


Crowd: ONE...TWO...THREE...

Vasco Dias: Well now this contest is officially underway....

Terri Morasco: Yes, but it may be over as quickly as it began if Eternity can't answer the ten count here...

Crowd: FOUR...FIVE...

The arena lights start to flicker and there is a rumble of thunder which echoes momentarily throughout the arena. The official looks around and shrugs as the lights return to normal and resumes her count.


Crowd: SIX...SEVEN...

Ashley nods approvingly and blows kisses to the crowd feeling she has this one won, but is startled when Eternity sits bolt upright and snaps her head toward Ashley in the ring. A lightning bolt strikes the turnbuckle causing Ashley to jump out of her corner and the referee to suspend her count.

Vasco Dias: MY GOD! WHAT WAS THAT?

Terri Morasco: I think...I think it was....lightning....

The arena lights then go completely out. A girly giggle then echoes throughout the arena.

Vasco Dias: It's a little early for Halloween, isn't it?

Terri Morasco: You're right, Vasco, Halloween isn't until Thursday officially, but I think every day is like Halloween for Eternity.

As the lights return, Eternity is stood behind Ashley in the very corner she jumped out of. As Ashley turns around and comes face to face with her opponent, she starts to back up as Eternity stalks her with a far away look in her eyes.
A few moments pass as Eternity makes her think about it, before Eternity presses home her height and weight advantage and scoops Ashley up, hooking her arm behind her back before dropping Ashley to the canvas. Eternity then begins to stomp the holy hell out of her opponent in the middle of the mat. The referee tries to get Eternity to back off.


Vasco Dias: Eternity seems to be in a foul mood here tonight...

Terri Morasco: I think Ashley was unprepared with just how much the little things can set somebody as volatile as Eternity off.

Eternity stops only to stare at the referee briefly. Eternity then runs to the ropes and on the rebound jumps up in the air, looking to bring a leg down across the throat of the Ruby Champion, but Ashley as enough ring presence to roll out of the way and onto one knee in time to watch Eternity miss the move.


Vasco Dias: It is remarkable ring presence like that that is just one of the reasons Ashley Mastrangelo is our Ruby Champion.

Terri Morasco: Ashley needs to capitalise here, Eternity hasn't given her many openings in this match and this may be the best so far...

Seeing her opening, Ashley seizes her advantage by walking over and pulling Eternity by the very leg with which she missed and locking in a time tested Figure Four Leg Lock much to the delight of the crowd.

Eternity has nowhere to go as she screams out. Her screams only seem to fire the crowd up more to back their Ruby Champion.

Vasco Dias: I think it's safe to say Ashley may have just taken your advice here, Terri...

Terri Morasco: This is a time tested submission move here, Vasco and one of my personal favourites...

Ashley keeps the pressure on, keeping Eternity on her back and forcing Eternity to expend some energy to keep her shoulders off the mat. Soon, Eternity falters and the referee is in perfect position to count the pin attempt.

1...2...Eternity jerks up, twisting to her side in the hold. However a resilient and determined Ashley will not be denied and she manages to roll Eternity back and once again pin her shoulders to the mat...1...2...Eternity again jerks up with a mighty scream and this time puts all her effort into turning Ashley onto her side.

Terri Morasco: A couple of near falls there almost caught Eternity out!

Vasco Dias: Eternity is trying desperately to find a way out of the move!

After expending considerable energy, Eternity finally manages to roll Ashley over on to her stomach into a Reverse Indian Deathlock.


Vasco Dias: Eternity calls this move the Time Of Death.

Terri Morasco: Eternity has a wide variety of deadly submission holds in her arsenal, all with suitably creepy names.

With the pressure of the painful submission hold reversed and nowhere to go, Ashley is forced to relinquish the hold and separate herself from her opponent. Ashley slowly finds her way back to her feet, and uses the extra time that it takes Eternity to recover to regroup herself. A few moments more pass before Eternity is back to her feet, and as soon as Ashley sees this, she becomes more determined not to let the tide of the match swing any further into Eternity's favour. She charges up to a rising Eternity and looks to nail a Cutter, but Eternity has it scouted and shoves her forward, propelling her into the ropes.

Vasco Dias: Eternity had that move well scouted.

Ashley rebounds back off the ropes and on the return catches Eternity with a clothesline, taking her back down in the middle of the canvas. Ashley transitions flawlessly from that move into an Anaconda Vice, hooking Eternity's head and pulling upward and letting out a scream as she does so.

Vasco Dias: Will Eternity be forced to tap out here?

Terri Morasco: This hold is so devastating that the damage may be done. As well as trying to find a way out of the hold, Eternity has to watch that her shoulders aren't pinned!

The referee drops to her knees and asks Eternity if she wants to give it up. Eternity stubbornly refuses, shaking her head, forcing Ashley to increase the pressure and actually force a squirming Eternity's shoulders to the mat, prompting the Diamonds Official to begin her count, a count that the electric crowd join in on.

Crowd: ONE....TWO.....OOOOH!

Ashley looks down at Eternity and screams for her to tap. Eternity then stares at Ashley before spitting some purple mist into Ashley's eyes and forcing her to break the hold and clutch her own face..

Vasco Dias: Much like Eternity herself, it sure ain't pretty but it damn sure is effective!

Terri Morasco: This is a travesty, surely it should be grounds for immediate disqualification there!

The referee checks on Ashley and is about to call for the disqualification and award the match to Ashley, but Simon De Montford appears on stage with a bottle of water in one hand and a white towel in the other. He looks at the official and shakes his head, advising the referee not to make the call she was about to make.

Terri Morasco: What the hell is that jackass doing out here!

Vasco Dias: Careful Terri! That jackass is our boss!

.Simon makes his way down to the ring, and rolls the bottle of water into the ring, presumably for Ashley to clean the mist out of her eyes, but Eternity intercepts it and skips in celebration as she unscrews the top and takes a drink herself. Eternity then winks at Simon on the outside before turning and throwing the rest of the bottle and its contents at Ashley who is still sat on the mat trying to wipe the mist from her eyes. The water bottle strikes her in the temple and Ashley is knocked onto her back as the crowd rain down their disapproval in mass boos.

Terri Morasco: What the hell is the meaning of this?!

Vasco Dias: Oh make up your mind, will you Terri? You wanted the Board of Directors involved in this match earlier and now they are, you're still not happy! Honestly, there is no pleasing some women!

On the outside, Simon keeps his distance from the ring. He walks over and has a discussion with the ring announcer, Alison Valance who is sat next to the timekeeper. Alison nods and gets to her feet with a microphone in hand. She raises the microphone to her lips.

Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that due to an Executive Order from the IWF Board of Directors, this match is now to be contested with No Disqualification!

Terri Morasco: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULL -*BLEEP*?!

Vasco Dias: It's great is what it is, Terri! Mr De Montford is a genius!

Eternity jumps for joy as she slides out of the ring and over to the stage hand that has Ashley's Ruby Championship in his possession. She pulls it from him and slides back into the ring with it, holding it up to her cheek, she whispers something to the belt as she watches its valiant Champion find her feet and wipe the mist from her eyes.

Ashley looks up just in time to be clocked across the head by her own Ruby Championship. Ashley goes down immediately. Eternity pushes the title away and hooks the leg as the crowd is going nuts.

Terri Morasco: NO! NO! NO! NOT THIS WAY DAMN IT!

Vasco Dias: What are you talking about Terri, all of this is well within the rules of the match.

Terri Morasco: Yeah, the rules that are just being made up as we go along now!

1...2...ASHLEY SOMEHOW MANAGES TO KICK OUT as the crowd roar start chanting "ASH-LEY!".

Terri Morasco: YES! YES! YES! IT'S NOT OVER DIAS, ITS NOT OVER!

Eternity can't believe it as she backs off and stares in wide-eyed disbelief at the resilient young Ruby Champion as as lays on the mat. Eternity emphatically shakes her head, refusing to believe that just happened.

Eternity then uses the ropes to pull herself back to her feet and marches over to Ashley who is still down. Eternity grabs a handful of Ashley's hair as she pulls the fighting Champion to her feet. It is now evident that Ashley was busted open by the title shot as blood begins to seep from a small cut across her forehead.

Vasco Dias: The Ruby Champion may soon be the colour of the jewels which stud her Championship..

Terri Morasco: And Eternity just seems to be enjoying herself now!

Eternity tries for a snap suplex but Ashley has enough wherewithal to block the attempt by wrapping an ankle around Eternity's and answering with her own as the crowd cheer for their Champion who is still in this fight, even with the deck now stacked against her due to corporate shenanigans.

Terri Morasco: Suplex attempt blocked!

Vasco Dias: Ashley managed to counter it into a suplex of her own!

Ashley floats over into the pin attempt, looking to end this match with some considerable urgency. The referee gets in position to make the count as the crowd join in once again.

Crowd: ONE! TWO!

Eternity gets a shoulder up.

The look on Ashley's face tells the story as she taps the mat in frustration.

Ashley gets to her feet dragging Eternity to hers. Ashley then spins her opponent around and leaps into the air dropping Eternity with her Jumping Reverse Bulldog as the crowd explode.

Terri Morasco: WHAT A MOVE!

Vasco Dias: BUT CAN SHE CAPITALISE?

With Eternity down, Ashley moves across the ring into a corner where she builds up to her next move by stamping her foot on the ground, encouraged by her fans.

Vasco Dias: Could be Super Kick time!

Terri Morasco: Forget About It!

Eternity slowly rises to her feet and Ashley immediately looks to take her head off with one of her signature moves, but Eternity side steps the attempted Super Kick at the last possible moment and instead spins the Ruby Champion into one of her own - a pumphandle gutbuster!

Vasco Dias: THE Y-INCISION!

Terri Morasco: And just like that, the tide of this match has once again turned!

Eternity skips around the fallen Ashley before grabbing her arm and applying her devastating Dying Wish Submission Hold


Terri Morasco: Oh no! Not this! This is the move that broke Emma Danielson's arm, ending her career and we haven't seen her since!

Vasco Dias: Tap out Ashley! Save yourself!

Ashley seemingly has nowhere to go as she is isolated in the middle of the ring. She raises her free arm in the air, screaming and the crowd anticipate the tap out when suddenly, on the outside Simon De Montford steps forward and throws the towel in the ring and yells at the referee to call for the bell. The crowd boos as the bell is sounded.

Alison Valance: Here is your winner...BY SUBMISSION...ETERRRRRRRNITTTTTTY!

Vasco Dias: It was a valiant effort by Ashley but in the end, she had to give up. Can't say I blame her, I wouldn't want my arm broken by Eternity either...

Terri Morasco: ASHLEY DID NOT GIVE UP! SHE DID NOT TAP OUT! THIS IS ALL A LOAD OF *BLEEEEEEEEEEEP*!

Eternity's music hits as she celebrates in the ring. Ashley is to her feet and she leans over the ropes yelling at Simon, she then spits at him as the crowd cheer. Ashley then picks up the towel and throws it at Simon and he uses it to wipe the spit from his face.

Vasco Dias: ASHLEY MAY HAVE JUST SIGNED HER OWN DEATH WARRANT BY SPITTING IN THE BOSS' FACE!

Terri Morasco: SHE'S JUST STANDING UP FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES IN!

Vasco Dias: BUT AT WHAT COST?

SIX MAN TAG MATCH
The Empire vs Rob Diamond, Alex Jones and Xavier Cross

----------------------------------------------------------

{The arena goes black as the drum roll blasts through the speakers before the guitars and bass kick in the Empire logo flashes on the screen a few times as if flickering before it almost seems to burn into the screen as the lyrics begin. The Empire make their way out through the curtain, Spike at the front with his Imperial Title held high. At his side is Cable Arcane and Gjenrei.

"GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!!
Times are changing.
We're bringing a new age in.
GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!!
Times are changing.
We're bringing a new age in.
Woo!"

The members all make their way to the ring, taking their time and their heads held high, ignoring the jeers, boos and insults from the crowd. Not even acknowledging them. The make their way into the ring, each doing something different, sliding under the ropes, rolling in, climbing through them, jumping over the ropes, climbing the stairs etc. They all stand in the ring before each member except Spike takes a turnbuckle and raises their arms above their heads, hands outstretched.

"You! I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.
I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.
I think that you, have bitten off more than you chew.
Yeah, you, you've bitten off more than you chew.
This is Hacktivist motherf**kers!"

The lights dim and return to normal as the members all come together in the middle of the ring as they prepare to instigate their plan of action.}

Vasco Dias: Well here’s the Empire and needless to say no one is happy to see them.

Terri Morasco: And why would they be? After everything Spike has done I’m surprised Roberto even allows him to wear that championship.

Vasco Dias: I’ve got to agree but I think the men about to come to the ring might have something to say about it.

{ “Mama said knock you out” by Five Finger Death Punch hits the pa as the crowd pops huge for Rob Diamond, he stops at the top of the ramp and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy hits. The crowd goes absolutely wild for Xavier Cross as he struts out and stops next to Rob, nodding. “Another White Lie” by Voodoo Johnson sends the crowd over the top as Alex Jones comes out and all three men head to the ring. The Empire take the outside as the faces slide in under the ropes and rev the crowd up like mad. }

Vasco Dias: And the crowd sure as hell loves these guys.

Terri Morasco: Who doesn’t? Their all that stands between The Empire and complete domination.

Vasco Dias: I’m sorry to say this but it seems that the Empire has already won, they do hold all the titles…

Terri Morasco: For now.

{ Rob demands that he and Spike start things out and Spike seemingly agrees. The ref calls for the bel and Spike quickly tags out to Cable. Rob laughs as Cable leaps into the ring and comes right for Rob with several hard right hands. Rob blocks some of them but Cable sneaks in a left hook and then several rapid fire kicks that seem to catch him off guard. Rob drops his block and Cable levels him with a clothes line. Rob gets right up and Cable runs at him, Rob side steps him and brings him down with a trip. Rob rolls right on top of him and looks for a crossface but Cable wriggles out of it. Both men get to their feet and Rob tries to tie him up but Cable punts Rob in the chest and sends him into the Empire corner where Gjenrei and Spike unload an unholy volley of punches. }

Vasco Dias: The Empire is working like a unit tonight, pulling Rob apart one piece at a time.

Terri Morasco: It’s only the first few minutes here but Rob is in a bad spot right now.

{ Cable runs in with a flying forearm and nails Rob. He pulls him out with a snap mare and a stiff kick to the back. Cable tags in Gjenrei who sling shots himself into the ring and bull dogs the sitting Rob Diamond, doubling him over in a very painful position! Gjenrei is right up and hits the ropes with a spring board moon sult on Rob. Gjenrei gets up and heads to the ropes, he leaps to the top as Rob stands and jumps off with a flying hurricanran! Rob whips across the ring and tries to use the momentum to get up and tag but Gjenrei is right behind him with a sickening back stabber! Gjenrei pulls Rob up and sends him across the ring to the Empire corner where Spike drills him with a right hand! Gjenrei tags in Spike and the two of them kick the living crap out of Rob in the corner before the ref forces Gjenrei out. }

Terri Morasco: The Empire merciless.

Vasco Dias: They have to be, they lead through stegnth.

Terri Morasco: They lead through fear.

{ Xavier and Alex want in as Spike just lays into Rob with more right hands but the ref won’t let them, while they argue Honorbound grabs a hold of Rob and lets Spike just beat the hell out of him. Honorbound holds Rob as Spike comes at him with the Bloody Sunday kick and just lays him out. Spike covers but Alex breaks it up at two. }

Vasco Dias: Alex and Spike have a big match up next week on Sacrifice and it looks like Alex wants to get started now

{ The ref forces Alex out as Spike taunts him with Rob. Spike rears back and throws a right hand but Rob gets under it and twists Spike around and rakes his eyes hard and DIAMOND CUTTER!!! }

Terri Morasco: Diamond just dropped Spike Kane!

Vasco Dias: He’s back in this, he can make the tag now!

{ The crowd is going wild as Rob is on his knees and looks across the ring to his partners. Cable enters the ring and pulls Rob up but Diamond hits the Fist full of Democracy on him and then leaps across the ring and tags in Alex Jones! Jones uses the ropes to sling shot into the ring with a flying forearm on Cable! Gjenrei leaps into the ring and right into an AJ GURI! Alex leaps to the top rope and hits SPINAL TAP ON SPIKE! Alex covers but Gjenrei just breaks it up in time. }

Vasco Dias: Alex Jones is in the ring and he’s a man on fire.

Terri Morasco: He’s taking down the Empire by himself.

{ Alex sends Spike into the faces corner and Cross hits a forearm shiver across the back of the head as Alex runs in with a running drop kick! Alex tags in Cross and the two of them hoist Spike up onto the top rope, they step up onto the second rope and bring Spike over with a SUPER PLEX! Cross is right up, climbs to the top and hits the MME ELBOW DROP!!!! Cross covers but now Cable just breaks it up! }

Vasco Dias: Cross has the Empire on the run now.

Terri Morasco: They just have to keep Spike in the ring.

{ Cross pulls Spike to his feet and hits him across the face, he pulls Spike in for the PHOENIX DRIVER!!! Cross roars as the crowd pops and he heads back to the corner and tags in Alex Jones. Alex comes in and grabs Spike but Spike jabs him in the throat and rolls to his corner and tags in Gjenrei. Gjenrei launches himself into the ring with a clothes line on Jones. Both men get right to their feet and start laying into each other with some vicious right hands! }

Vasco Dias: The former cruiser weight champion standing toe to toe with the new cruiser weight champion!

{ Jones starts to get the upper hand and boots Gjenrei in the gut. He sends him into the ropes but Gjenrei spring boards off the ropes with a tornado ddt!

Cross climbs into the ring and Gjenrei charges him but Cross gets under him and fires off several right hands before hitting an atomic drop followed by a big clothes line and a pin attempt. Gjenrei kicks out at two. }

Terri Morasco: All six of these men have been on fire so far tonight.

Vasco Dias: How the hell is anyone going to win this match.

Terri Morasco: No idea. It’s going to be next to impossible.

{ Cross pulls Gjenrei up and lays into him with some more right hands and then sends him flying with a release bely to belly suplex. Gjenrei lands hard and tries to get to his feet but Cross boots him in the back of the head. Cross pulls Gjenrei up and Gjenrei hits a back fist an d quickly tags in Cable! Cable rushes Cross but Cross gets under him and kicks him in the gut and hits a hard right hand and then a SPEAR! Cross flips Cable onto his gut and looks to lock him in crossface but Cable rolls away to the outside. }

Terri Morasco: Xavier Cross is the rightful Heavy Weight Champion in a lot of people’s minds and this is why right here.

{ Cable turns as Alex comes off the apron with a clothes line on Cable! Gjenrei and Spike charge Cross in the ring and Rob sees this and tries to get back in but the ref stops him. }

Vasco Dias: And here come more of the sneaky tactics.

Terri Morasco: Did you expect anything else?

Vasco Dias: No, I just hoped the ref would keep a closer eye on them.

Terri Morasco: You and the entire wrestling world.

{ Spike and Gjenrei pull Cross up and hit a double spine buster! Alex rolls into the ring but the ref stops him and Rob now as Cable shakes it off and rolls in and covers Cross. The ref turns and Cross kicks out at Two. Cable takes cross into the Empire corner where he tags in Spike. Spike stiff kicks Cross several times until he drops down onto the mat and starts to choke him with his boot. }

Vasco Dias: Now this is getting sickening.

Terri Morasco: This was never going to be a fair fight and I think everyone knew that coming in.

Vasco Dias: Still…

{ Spike pulls Cross up and mouths of to him and hits a short arm clothes line. Spike shows off for the crowd and the fans boo like crazy as Spike looks down at Cross and prepares for his finisher.

Vasco Dias: HERE WE GO!

{ Rob leaps into the ring and hits Spike with a Lou Thez Press and just lays into him with some hard right hands. }

{ Rob gets off of him and Spike is right up and Rob grab for him but Spike tags Cable! }

Terri Morasco: And he’s running away!

Vasco Dias: Come on…

{ Rob doesn’t care and clothes lines Cable hard. Rob hits another clothes line as the fans pop hard but not for the move… }

Terri Morasco: Whose that coming down the ramp?

Vasco Dias: Alexis Caffery, Mike Laszlo’s girl friend… Cable ran him down at the start of the show… I’m guessing she didn’t like that.

Terri Morasco: She could get hurt out here…

{ Rob pulls Cable up and sends him to the ropes where Alexis and she grabs at his ankles and stumbles him, Cable turns and looks back and then DIAMOND CUTTER!!!! Rob quickly covers as Alex and Cross cut off Spike and Gjenrei in the center of the ring. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Terri Morasco: Oh no…

{ The crowd goes silent as Alexis hits Cable right across the face! }

Terri Morasco: OH NO!
