{ The show opener for Friday Night Sacrifice plays to the theme of IOU by Five Finger Death Punch showing clips of all the current champions as well as some of the biggest stars in IWF currently. As the show opening tag for Sacrifice comes to an end we are brought to the commentary booth with Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco. }
Vasco Dias: It's Friday Night and you know what that means!
Terri Morasco: IWF PRESENTS SACRIFICE!!!
Vasco Dias: We've got a huge show for you tonight! Not one but two Championship Eliminator matches!
Terri Morasco: John Blade and Nick Danger look for revenge against Clay Kovar!
Vasco Dias: Charolette Armstrong takes on the newcomr, Latoya Hixx!
Terri Morasco: We will also have an annoucement regarding the open invitation tag team ladder match!
Vasco Dias: Not to mention, Nick Knight defending the World Television Championship against RAM in the main event!
Terri Morasco: But before all that we have the first of our Championship Eliminator matches! Alek Brons versus Angel Blake!
------------------------------------ CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATOR If Alek wins he'll receive a future Men's World Championship opportunity Angel Blake vs Alek Bronson ------------------------------------
{ All the lights in the arena go out as words blaze across the Imperitron. }
“Blessed are the wicked who are healed by my hands.”
{ The entire arena absolutely explodes with cheers as the opening notes of the orchestra version of Gateways begins to play as flames erupt across the stage like napalm. Slowly Angel Blake begins to rise from within the flames with his arms outstretched wearing a long black coat with the birthdate of his baby girl embroidered on the back and the IWF World Championship around his waist. Angel throws his arms up in the air as the metal version of Gateways takes over and really kicks into gear. Flames erupt all the way down the stage and ignite the ring posts as well as the lyrics finally kick in. }
The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formula of evolution and sin
Leading the way
{ Angel steps out of the flames looking over to the crowd with a terrible grin before looking toward the ring. He scowls as he begins to walk, flames erupting behind him with every step. Angel finally reaches the ring, lifting his coat to walk up the steps. He stops on the apron and looks out toward the crowd as the song blasts. Blake throws his arms out and his head back as the arena lights go up to a blinding level. Blake turns and steps into the ring with confidence heading over to the far corner. The chorus comes back around as Angel stands up on the second turnbuckle and crosses his arms over his head in an X. Blake hops down and turns his back to the corner and throws his coat off as the music dies down. }
{ The beginning of " The Chain" starts, the arena fades to darkness as on the titantron the Smile comes on. Lights flicker as lightning strikes the ramp. The spotlight shines on Alek. As his head raises showing the mask. He walks to the ring looking around. He slides into the ring. Then just laughs maniacally. }
Terri Morasco: This is a huge opportunity here for Alek Bronson!
Vasco Dias: He’s one win away from challenging for the IWF World title!
{ The match started with a slow pace. Angel didn’t want to get too close to Alek who had the reach, strength and size advantage. Angel attempted a couple of exploratory kicks but Alek was quick to pull his leg back. The two danced around each other some more as the first couple of minutes ticked away. Alek going for a tie up, Angel avoiding. Angel going in for a hold and Alek pushing him off. Finally as the third minute came and went it was Angel who went for an ankle pick but Alek was quick to stifle it with a double ax handle over the back of the champion. With the champion on his knees, Alek used his massive upper body strength to hurl Angel up and down with a pump handle power bomb. Alek went for a pin with just his boot on the chest of the champion but it was only a one count. }
Vasco Dias: Alek got the first opening and he’s wasting it with that arrogant pin!
Terri Morasco: He needs to press this advantage!
{ As if hearing the commentators, Alek pulled Angel up by the neck but the World Champion fired off one of his patented kicks to the left hamstring of Alek Bronsont that almost immediately brought the big man to his knees. As we moved past the five minute mark, Angel picked the ankle of Alek and connected with The Dragon Screw Leg Whip. Angel held onto that left leg, punting the hamstring now before hitting a knee breaker. Angel now felt the match was in his favor and went for the Absolution Figure Four Leg Lock with a Heel Hook! Angel held Alek right in the center of the ring, ripping and tearing at the ligaments in the knee and ankle of Alek Bronson. However the big man was able to drag both of their body weight toward the ropes and break the hold. The match was now crossing over into seven minutes and it was clear Angel had done the damage he wanted to do. }
Terri Morasco: The champion is trying to chop down the tree like legs of Bronson!
Vasco Dias: Which is exactly what he said he was going to do!
{ Bronson found his way to his feet as did the champion. Angel came in hot, looking to hit his signature knee strike, the Divine Justice but Alek came off the ropes and connected with a big boot that knocked Angel right out of the air! Bronson favored his leg afterward but pushed through the pain as he brought Angel up to his feet and picked him high up over his head for a stalling suplex. The crowd made a full ten count before Alek dropped the champion on his back. Alek again favored that left leg after the landing but tried to ignore it as he made the cover on the champion. Angel was once again able to kick out. Bronson seeing his golden opportunity, moved into the mounted position and grabbed the head of the champion. Bronson then began to rain down headbutts into the face of the champion over and over and over again until he opened up a very clear wound over the right eye of Angel Blake. Satisfied with what he had done, Alek palmed the bleeding face of Angel as he demanded a count be made. Blake, however kicked out at two. }
Vasco Dias: We are over ten minutes deep into this match and Alek Bronson is unleashing the punishment on Angel Blake!
Terri Morasco: This is the match Alek needs to wrestle if he wants to win!
{ Alek brings Angel back up to his feet and connects with a snap jab. Blake is staggering at this point. Alek takes the head of the champion and connects with another headbutt and follows it up with a snap powerslam, completing the Mischievous Grin! Alek Bronson goes for the cover again as we hit the twelve minute mark of the match but Angel is still able to kick out. Alek, now feeling like his leg has loosened back up, goes to the ropes to get some momentum. Alek comes roaring back across the ring and looks for a big time elbow drop but Angel rolls out of the way. Blake is back up on his feet and Alek tries to meet him but the champion is there with a kick to the left hamstring followed right up with The Dragon Screw Leg Whip! Alek sits up on the mat and Angel drills him with the Divine Justice knee strike! Angel goes for the cover on Alek Bronson here but the big man powers out of the cover at two! Angel is feeling a little bit of desperation here as the match makes it past the fifteen minute mark. Blake pulls Alek up to his feet and looks to hoist the big man up and into the Deadlights but Alek fights back and breaks the hold. Alek comes back with a huge big boot but the effort takes both men down! }
Terri Morasco: It looked like Angel was ready to finish Alek off but he managed to fight back!
Vasco Dias: Bronson doesn’t want to let this chance slip past him!
{ Alek is the first to make it back to his feet, beating the ref count at eight, Angel soon follows at nine. Both men are now standing and Blake fires off a palm strike. Alek counters with a jab. Angel comes back with a palm strike. Alek again with the jab. The two go back and forth for nearly a full minute before Angel breaks away and hits a thrust kick to the left leg of Bronson! Bronson then explodes forward with a clothesline that sends Angel head over heels! Once again both men are down as the clock ticks past seventeen minutes. Eventually they find their way to their feet and it’s Angel who strikes first with Divine Justice! Alek fires right back with a roaring headbutt! Angel staggers back then launches in with another Divine Justice! Alek shakes his head and then lunges forward with a headbutt! Angel is barely standing and acts like he’s going for another knee strike and as Alek readies himself for the shot, Angel diverts and instead thrust kicks the left leg of Bronson! Angel then picks the leg for The Dragon Screw Leg Whip! Angel pulls Alek up to his feet and this time he manages to press the big man up and into position for the Deadlights! Angel brings him down and covers the giant as the referee counts! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner… ANGEL BLAKE!!!!
{ The crowd erupts into cheers as Gateways hits. The referee brings Angel the IWF World Title as he makes his way over to a corner of the ring to stand up on the second rope and hold the title up high! }
Terri Morasco: Alek Bronson gave it his best shot and nearly came out with the victory but it was the champion who reigned supreme tonight!
Vasco Dias: It was a close one but there’s a reason Angel is the one and only four time IWF World Champion!
{ We head to our first break for the evening with Angel now heading to the outside to shake hands with fans as his music plays. }
------------------------------------
SEGMENT
"He's back"
------------------------------------
{As the dust from the triple threat match begins to settle and the ring crew busies themselves to get the ring back into shape for the singles match to follow. The camera turns back to the announce table where Vasco and Terri sit.}
Vasco Dias: I’m just saying … Blade is a cooler last name than Danger is all.
Terri Morasco: And I still don’t see how that has anything to do with that last match, Vasco. It has got to be up for contention as the match of the night for sure!
Vasco Dias: It’s only the second match, Terri; don’t hyperventalate just yet.
Terri Morasco: Be that as it may, we’re only minutes away from our next match where Charlotte Armstrong is set to take on Latoya Hixx. What are your thoughts, Vasco?
Vasco Dias: Listen, we’ve been over this. The girls are sensitive and If you don’t want my honest opinion on their matches don’t set me up like that. Besides, do you really think that Hi … hey now! Look at this, Terri!
{Vasco leans backwards in his chair to see around Terri as the pair are joined on screen by a third person who quickly unfolds a chair and takes a seat as he’s handed a third headset.}
Terri Morasco: Well folks, what a treat. We’re joined tonight from a man who we haven’t seen in quite a while.
Vasco Dias: A while? Terri, it’s felt like an eternity since we’ve been joined by the genius that is Berrick O’Murphy!
Berrick O’Murphy: Oh yeah!
Terri Morasco: Oh stop it, you two. Berrick, is there a reason you’re even out here … wait, are you even employed by IWF Entertainment anymore?
Berrick O’Murphy: Terri, love, the men are talking here.
{The audience gasps as Berrick turns away from a reddening Terri to a glib looking Vasco}
Berrick O’Murphy: Vasco, you want to know why I’ve decided to grace the people of … of … where even are we?
Vasco Dias: Calgary.
Berrick O’Murphy: Ew, Canada?
Vasco Dias: That’s the one.
Berrick O’Murphy: Gross. Anyway, the reason why I’ve graced the good people of Calgary with my presence is because, frankly, it’s been too long since I had the opportunity. A Berrick a day keeps the doctor away, as they say.
Terri Morasco: Who? Who says that? And you’ve been gone for almost a YEAR! And you still haven’t answered my question about whether you work here or not!
Vasco Dias: Terri, hush, it’s rude to interrupt our guest.
Berrick O’Murphy: Thank you Vasco, you’ve always been a stand up fellow.
Vasco Dias: I do the best with what I’m given.
Berrick O’Murphy: Well as your rude little colleague mentioned it has been nearly a year since I was last heard. Laura and I had a differing of opinions on how best to use my unique abilities and we finally decided that my expertise could best be used elsewhere.
Terri Morasco: Laura? Howlett? She doesn’t work here … I’m calling security!
Vasco Dias: Terri, please!
Berrick O’Murphy: Its complicated, Vasco. You know how these things are. The legalities of my employment shouldn’t cloud your view of what I’m here to do.
Vasco Dias: I love it; so what are you here to do?
Terri Morasco: He’s here to trespass and waste our time.
Berrick O’Murphy: No, what I’m here to do, Vasco, is remind the people of IWF just who I am and more importantly, what I do.
Vasco Dias: I’ve got goosebumps!
Terri Morasco: Seriously, he’s sitting right here … where the heck are security?
Berrick O’Murphy: I have a particular set of skills, Vasco …
Terri Morasco: Oh God, he’s just quoting Taken now. I mean … come on!
Berrick O’Murphy: At the top of that skillset happens to be managing.
Terri Morasco: He’s over here, please remove him!
Vasco Dias: Shush, Terri; back to you, Berrick! Does this mean that you’re looking for some new talent? A fresh-faced young wrestler to shoot to the top?
Berrick O’Murphy: It means …
{Berrick is unable to finish as he’s quickly flanked by security and lifted to his feet, his headset pulled from his head and clattering to the table. Terri beams as Vasco looks on in horror.}
Vasco Dias: Unhand him!
Terri Morasco: Get him out of here!
{Berrick is escorted up the ramp towards the entrance area as a sudden roar pierces the air, startling everyone.}
Vasco Dias: The hell was that?
{Everyone looks around confused as a second roar rips through the arena and the backstage curtain is flung aside by the hulking figure of …}
Vasco Dias: ROST! ROST! TYTUS ROST IS BACK!
Terri Morasco: What the heck is going on here, Vasco?
{The announcers look on as Tytus marches towards the security guards who instinctually step in front of Berrick. Rost places a massive hand on the chest of the first guard, brushing him to the side as though made of paper before meeting the next guard with a forearm that sends him sprawling backwards. The final pair of security guards try to go at Rost together only to be met with a pair of ham sized fists that leave them motionless on the ramp.
Berrick, all smiles, brushes off the front of his shirt and walks to meet Tytus for a moment before turning to the crowd and laughing as Rost, stone-faced as ever, glares down towards the ring.}
Vasco Dias: He’s back, Terri … he’s finally back!
Terri Morasco: You can’t deny that fact, Vacso … but what this means for the rest of us remains to be seen.
------------------------------------ TRIPLE THREAT John Blade vs. Nick Danger vs. Clay Kovar ------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break with Nick Danger, John Blade and Clay Kovar already in the ring. }
Vasco Dias: One week ago we saw Clay Kovar get involved in a match between Nick Danger and John Blade which brings us to this match.
Terri Morasco: Clay is looking to make an impact and a win here against the two men he attacked would do just that.
Vasco Dias: That is of course unless they make Clay regret his actions!
Terri Morasco: Absolutely!
{ The action started off with a fast pace Nick and John began the match working together and attempting to work Clay over in a corner of the ring. They would keep him pinned there for several minutes as they traded off on attacks. John hitting big shoulder blocks in the corner, Nick coming in with repeated spears. Eventually, Clay had enough and came out of the corner with a double clothesline. Clay took over the match at this point as he damn near threw Danger out of the ring with a two handed choke toss. Blade attempted to attack but Clay picked him up and carried him around on his shoulder before dropping him in the center of the ring with a powerslam. Clay made a lazy cover that Danger was able to break up. Clay and Danger then paired off as the match made it’s way past five minutes. Nick got the upper hand on Clay at first but the big man took back control with a knee lift and then an atomic drop. Blade got back into the action and got the big man off his feet with a German suplex. Blade then hit a series of shoulder tackles before dropping a fist into the face of Clay Kovar. At this point, Blade grabbed Danger and stopped him from rejoining the double team. Blade sent Danger into the ropes and missed a shoulder tackle. Danger came back and took Blade out with a dropkick. }
{ The match carried on with Blade and Danger going back and forth now as Clay recovered on the apron. Danger worked Blade over for several minutes and even managed to hit the bigger man with a brainbuster. Blade would fight back and hit a shoulder tackle as well as a spinebuster. Eventually it was Clay who broke up the scuffle hitting a running big boot on John Blade and then sending Danger into a corner of the ring. Clay would come in looking for a big time body splash but Danger would move! Clay ate the corner and Danger came in from behind with a school boy pin. Blade broke up the cover attempt and brought Clay up to his feet, Blade then put Kovar on his shoulders but Danger came off the ropes and hit Blade with a spear that caused him to hit a samoan drop on Kovar! Danger saw his opening and covered Blade but John was able to kick out at two. Danger then tried to cover Clay but it was also only a two count. All three men got back to their feet and Danger came at Blade this time. Blade dropped his shoulder and sent Danger spilling to the outside of the ring! Kovar saw his opening and connected with a running big boot on John Blade! Clay then picked Blade up for the Beach Bum Bomb in the center of the ring! Clay made the cover, hooking both legs as the referee counted! ONE! TWO! Nick threw himself into the ring but it was THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner… CLAY KOVAR!!!
{ Nick Danger is beside himself over being a half second too late to break up the cover as Clay rolls to the outside and holds both his arms up. }
Vasco Dias: Clay Kovar has arrived!
Terri Morasco: And what an impact he just made!
{ Clay Kovar backs up the ramp with both hands held high as John Blade and Nick Danger look on, both incredibly angry. }

SEGMENT
"ANNOUNCEMENT!"
------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break to Terri and Vasco at the commentators booth. }
Terri Morasco: Alright, it's the moment you've all been waiting for!
Vasco Dias: The IWF World Tag Team Championships have been in limbo for nearly a month but we are about to find out when and where new champions will be named!
Terri Morasco: It's our pleasure to introduce the head of talent relations! Eddie D.!
{ Master of Puppets by Metallica hits the PA as the crowd in Calgary erupt with a chorus of boos for the returning figure head. Eddie D. walks out through the curtain just as the song starts to get good and holds both his arms out to suck in the hate that is coming his way. Eddie D. checks his pony tail and adjusts his costume hoodie before the music fades out. }
Vasco Dias: These people need to have show some respect!
Terri Morasco: Why?
Vasco Dias: Because Eddie D. is as big as it gets around here without being Roberto Verona himself!
Terri Morasco: Yeah but he's kind of an asshole.
Vasco Dias: I'm going to tell him you said that!
Terri Morasco: Please do.
{ Eddie D. waits for the boos to die down before speaking. }
Eddie D: As you all now the wrestling world's favorite couple was twice bitten by the injury bug during the Heir to the Throne Tournament.
{ There are cheers erupting for Dean and Warren. }
Eddie D: While we here in the IWF hope and pray for a speedy recovery it became quite clear very quickly that they would be unable to defend their World Tag Team Championships in the near future. So it was with great regret we were forced to vacate those titles.
{ The crowd boos. }
Vasco Dias: It's not like Eddie D. injured them!
Terri Morasco: I wouldn't put it past him.
{ Eddie D. nods and agrees with the boos. }
Eddie D: And as you know several weeks ago we announced that there would be an Open Invitation Tag Team Ladder Match to determine NEW CHAMPIONS!
{ The crowd cheers that. }
Eddie D: Well sign ups are over! The date has been set! On the next edition of Sacrifice, October 28th, in Regina, Saskatchewan we will crown NEW IWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
{ There is a huge pop in the crowd. }
Vasco Dias: That's huge!
Terri Morasco: That's going to be incredible!
{ Eddie D. nods along with the cheers. }
Eddie D: That's right! The next Sacrifice's card goes live Monday with a full list of the participants in the match! MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN!
{ Master of Puppets hits again as the crowd cheers the announcement. }
Vasco Dias: It's finally happening!
Terri Morasco: In just two weeks we will have new tag team champions!
Vasco Dias: Who's it going to be!
Terri Morasco: I don't know! It could be literally anyone!
{ We head to another break as Eddie D. soaks in the unusual cheers that aren't actually for him. }
------------------------------------ SINGLES MATCH Charlotte Armstrong vs. Latoya Hixx ------------------------------------
{ "Sky's The Limit" hits. Latoya comes out on stage and grooves a little bit. She takes both of her hands in, covers it up and dip toe her pose and lifts up her blue sunglasses and hands them to her fans. She walks straight down to the ring and hops on it, and she holds onto the ropes and bends over and shows them her Boss Knuckles. She gets inside of the ring and she takes off her wrestling gear and waits for the opening bell to sound. }
Terri Morasco: Latoya has certainly been clear on her stance since her debut here. She seems to feel this division runs through her. Tonight she's going to get another opportunity to prove just that if she can defeat Charlotte Armstrong.
Vasco Dias: I know she likes to call herself the Boss, but of what? She's not my boss. She's not your boss. She's definitely not the boss of the women's division because that's Shelly Diamond. So who is she the boss of? She seems a little delusional to me.
Terri Morasco: It's a mindset, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: So you're saying if I just believe I'm the king of England, I am? Same thing.
Terri Morasco: It's not.
{ The Sounds of "Enemy" start to play over the area as Charlotte steps out in her ring gear, half off her shoulders and popping a pose before she steps down towards the ring and walk up the steps throwing the robe off as she climbs a rope, jawing to the crowd all the way. }
Terri Morasco: Charlotte may well be the strongest woman we have on the IWF roster, Vasco. She built some momentum after her debut, but now you have to wonder if she's going through some of the growing pains that many young wrestlers do. Her last victory was back in the beginning of August. Does that weigh on a competitor?
Vasco Dias: Stop. Just stop, Morasco. She's rich! Filthy rich! Do you know how much stress can be washed away in one weekend on a tropical island somewhere? Charlie -and I can call her that because we're tight- is going to be fine. She's going to walk out of here a winner tonight and you're going to look even dumber than usual when she does.
Terri Morasco: That remains to be seen.
{ The second the bell sounds Armstrong rushes at Latoya and starts pounding away on her with some clubbing style fists. Charlotte shoves Latoya into the corner where she blasts her with some stiff forearm shots. Continuing to dish out punishment, Armstrong puts her foot up under LaToya's chin for a high-angle boot choke. The referee, Jessica Andrews, starts her count; and Charlie uses every available second of it before relinquishing the choke. Pleased with herself, Armstrong walks away brushing her hands off while Jessica gives her a stern warning. Turning her back proves to be a rookie mistake however. Hixx spins Charlotte around and puts a boot to her midsection! }
{ Latoya takes Charlotte by the arm and jumps off the ropes with a springboard armdrag! Hixx now shifts into the role of aggressor, catching Armstrong with a more conventional armdrag after Charlie got up quickly to try and rush her again. Once more Charlotte tries to get up fast, but this time Latoya executes a Tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown on her opponent. After having her head driven into the canvas, Armstrong lays clutching her skull on the mat. Latoya skips over her, leaping onto the middle rope and dropping down onto Charlotte with a springboard moonsault! Latoya covers Charlotte and the referee slides into position for the count! }
One!
Two!!
No!!!
{ Charlotte barely is able to lift a shoulder at the last second! Latoya looks as if she felt it may have been a three count but Jessica is firm it wasn't. Latoya pulls Charlotte up by the hair, but Armstrong delivers a hard punch into Hixx's stomach. Armstrong tries to turn the tide with an attempt at a suplex but Latoya hooks one of legs into Charlotte's to block. Charlotte tries again and is blocked again. Latoya musters the strength to counter with a suplex of her own! Hixx works to press her advantage, pouncing onto Charlotte and locking her into a crossface Submission! Armstrong taps out five seconds later. }
Terri Morasco: That's it! Charlotte just tapped out!
{ The referee calls for the bell. "Sky's the Limit" hits as Latoya lets Charlotte out of the hold. }
Vasco Dias: That didn't look like a tap to me, Morasco. I'm pretty sure Charlie was just killing a fly buzzing around her head.
Terri Morasco: Sure. You take that up with the referee, let me know how it goes. The rest of us who aren't in denial just saw Latoya Hixx pick up another win. She's building momentum and making more of a name for herself each and every week here.
{ The referee raises Hixx's arm in victory. Latoya does a pose for the fans. }
Winner: Latoya Hixx by submission

SEGMENT
"The Future"
------------------------------------
{ Caleb Cannin saunters down to the ring, microphone in hand. At the first sight of him, the crowd showers boos upon him. }
Cannin: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking!
{ More boos resonate in the arena as Cannin gets into the ring. }
Cannin: I’ll make this as quick as possible because you all aren’t worth my time. See, tonight, Sacrifice should be thankful to be graced with The Future’s presence.
{ A loud chant of “Shut the fuck up!” comes from the Calgary crowd. }
Cannin: And I thought you syrup-suckers were supposed to be polite. Way to defy expectations. First order of business, I’m here to call my shot. What does that mean? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s about time that this company gives me the respect I am owed. Without a doubt, I am THE hottest star this place has seen in quite some time. Even in garbage cities like Calgary, I can make people tune in with just a microphone.
{ Cannin begins to lose focus as the overwhelming amount of boos comes to play. He leans over the ropes, shouting at a few unlucky members of the front row. }
Cannin: Shut your mouths, that’s Captain’s orders!
{ The feeble command serves to only make the crowd get louder. He regains his composure, taking a long breath to calm himself down. }
Cannin: I am the Captain of Odyssey, the face of the brand and THE FUTURE! And it’s disrespect like this that makes my decision very clear. From now on, Sacrifice is only relevant when Caleb Cannin is on screen. You so-called fans don’t deserve a star of my caliber on this show, you never did! I am going to make Odyssey THE premier show in the IWF!
{ A crafty chant of “Please stay there!” starts to erupt in pockets of the crowd. }
Cannin: I’m going to start by becoming the inaugural- that means first ever, by the way- Invictus Champion! And that title WILL be the most prestigious title in our sport because it will be around MY waist! They can all step up, man or woman, but they will soon realize that The Future… is NOW.
{ The smuggest of grins creeps onto Cannin’s face. }
Cannin: So mark your calendars, Canada, because one week from today will be the beginning of the Captain’s coronation! And maybe then, we can finally have a real Revolution in this place. That is not just smack talk, that is a decree from the Captain and the word of THE FUTURE…
{ The boos rock throughout the building as Cannin takes a dramatic pause. He twirls the microphone in his hand, soaking in the hate. }
Cannin: THE FUUUUTURE…
{ Growing to a deafening volume, the citizens of Calgary announce their disapproval of the D.C. native. }
Cannin: THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUTUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE… CALEB. CANNIN.
{ With that, he drops the microphone and leaves the ring amongst a symphony of jeers from the hostile Canadian crowd.}
------------------------------------ CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATOR If Diamond wins she will receive a future Women's World Championship opportunity Caroline Machado vs. Diamond Steele ------------------------------------
{ 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. }Terri Morasco: We have another championship eliminator on tap tonight, and just as Alek had earlier, Diamond has a huge opportunity here! If she can defeat the champion she'll have the opportunity to face Caroline for the Women's Championship! Vasco Dias: We can only hope! How fantastic would it be to have a multi-talented Women's Champ like Diamond Steele! She sings AND she can wrestle! Terri Morasco: You do realize Caroline was a very good volleyball player too. Vasco Dias: Does she juggle volleyballs on the way to the ring? No. No she doesn't. And if I can't see it, it didn't happen. Terri Morasco: Why do I bother… { The voice of Sir Patrick Stewart echoes throughout the arena before Dua Lipa's "Levitating" begins to blare. A blast a pyro goes off as Caroline Machado heads out to the stage, dancing to the beat of the tune while sporting a brief, but warmhearted grin on her face. }"(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight I need you, all night Come on, dance with me (I'm levitating) You, moonlight, you're my starlight I need you, all night Come on, dance with me (I'm levitating)" { The Brazilian shimmies and twirls down the ramp, often stopping to give some lucky fans a hug or two. Her motion is fluid as she makes her way down to the ring, again dancing to the beats. }"You can fly away with me tonight You can fly away with me tonight Baby, let me take you for a ride (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (I'm levitating) You can fly away with me tonight You can fly away with me tonight Baby, let me take you for a ride (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)..." { The lights fade out to a rotating green and yellow hue, with Caroline continuing to dance and pose for the cheering crowd. Eventually, the lights come back on as she gets into her MMA fighting position and waits for the match to start. }Terri Morasco: You've got to love Caroline. She's always so kind and she's so much fun. When that bell rings she competes with the heart of a champion, though. Vasco Dias: Oh sure, she's sooo kind. She stole Shelly's title like a petty thief and has the audacity to call herself the Women's Champ. That's a fantastic role model for little girls everywhere. Terri Morasco: Stole?! It was a multi person match that Shelly asked for! Vasco Dias: Like I said, stole. So no, I don't love her, Morasco. { The bell sounds to start the match. The two women lock up. Caroline uses her size and power advantage to push Diamond back into the corner. Referee Jessica Andrews calls for the clean break and Caroline obliges by backing off with her hands up. Diamond takes the opportunity to slap the taste out of Caroline's mouth. Machado keeps her cool as well as her focus, squaring up again in her MMA fighting stance. When Diamond comes at her, Caroline catches her with a throw. Machado helps Steele up, only to deposit her back down on the canvas with another throw. Three more times she ragdolls Steele around with various throws before capping off the sequence with a suplex! }{ Diamond rolls to the outside of the ring for a breather. She walks around the outside of the ring, clutching her back and yelling at the fans seated at ringside. Caroline stands ready in the ring as the referee continues to count Diamond's time on the outside. Steele grabs a folding chair from ringside and slips it under the bottom rope. Caroline stomps down on the chair with her boot, though. Diamond tries to yank the chair free but Caroline reaches down, taking hold of the opposite end of the chair and drags Diamond into the ring by it. Caroline rips the chair away, discarding it to the outside. Steele stands up and drives a knee into Caroline's gut, then hits a single knee facebreaker! Building steam, Diamond runs the ropes, but Caroline follows two steps behind her. When Steele makes the turn, Caroline catches her with the "Ace de serviço" as the fans roar! Caroline makes a cover, hooking the leg as the referee slides into position… }One! Two!! Three!!! { The referee calls for the bell. The fans cheer for Caroline as her music hits. }Vasco Dias: It's a good thing Diamond has a successful music career to fallback on because it doesn't look like she's getting a title shot. And we all lose by not getting more Diamond Steele. Terri Morasco: That's debatable. What isn't up for debate is Caroline scored a victory here tonight in this championship eliminator! That makes the champions two-for-two tonight! { Caroline stands in the ring, having put her Championship around her waist. She waves to the crowd wearing a smile, soaking up the cheers. }Winner: Caroline Machado by pinfall ------------------------------------ SEGMENT"Love ya too!" ------------------------------------ { The crowd goes silent while awaiting the arrival of the next superstar… and within seconds, every single light throughout the Scotiabank Saddledome arena flickers, and then finally goes out, giving the crowd a premature cheer for the next person, but the anticipation grows still… The Imperitron suddenly powers on, and the sound of footsteps echoing in a corridor can be heard, and as the person walks by the camera, the iconic blue hair wavers back and forth which earns a loud pop from the audience.}Vasco Dias: No way! Terri Morasco: Is she here?! Is she in the building? {The crowd is becoming restless over the next few seconds, and just the opening to “The Eagle Flies Alone” by Arch Enemy hits the soundwaves, and the crowd immediately bursts into a roar that could very well blow the roof off the place! }Vasco Dias: It couldn’t be! Terri Morasco: I think it is! { The blue spotlight hits center stage and fog begins to encompass the entire stage, but the figure in the middle of it is immediately recognized as TARA FENIX! Several more spotlights all shine on the former IWF Women’s World Champion, the veteran of the industry by twenty-two years, and the host of her own super show, Tara Fenix Charity Event(s), which are set to take place in Waikiki in just under two weeks! Tara stands atop the stage and looks back and forth at the sold out crowd. }Terri Morasco: Tara has returned! She’s scheduled for her first match back to be against Shelly Diamond at her own event, which is one that you are not going to want to miss, folks! Vasco Dias: But what’s she doing here?! Terri Morasco: Let’s find out! { Tara roars out for the crowd to rally them louder, whilst simultaneously throwing up the devil horns. She then proceeds down the ramp and mingles with as much of the crowd as she can until she finally reaches the bottom of the ramp. The camera encircles the audience to show a number of the audience bowing down to the legend which she acknowledges with a salute out to them… Whilst standing at the bottom of the ramp, she looks at one of the ring crew members who is awestruck by her presence, and she gestures for a microphone. The staff finally comes out of his trance and hands the microphone to her, and she walks to and goes up the steel steps, and then finally between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring.
While taking a bold stride toward the center of the ring, Tara raises the microphone to speak just as the music cuts. }Tara Fenix: Well, well, well, thank you for that warm greeting, Calgary! { The crowd continues to cheer loud, but within a couple of seconds, dies down when Tara continues her return speech. }Tara Fenix: The last time that you saw me in an IWF ring, you heard me make an announcement for the TFCE as to who my opponent would be… Now, I had a mile long list ready to go with one name at the top, one person who I wanted to fight! I was ready to announce it! But then out comes Shelly Diamond… Out comes Shelly Diamond to say that I am not going to face anyone but her, and now…usually…I can keep a level head. Usually, I can keep calm under pressure, but after what you all witnessed back in April: I could not forget that night! My entire time out of the ring, I thought about that night… I thought about the risk I took just in stepping inside the ring, and I remember how much pain I was in that night, and the thoughts racing through my mind, which– { The crowd cannot help but let out a boo against Shelly Diamond at this point in time, as they can all recall that night just as well. }Tara Fenix: –now, now, Shelly was doing her job. She is a fighter! A warrior! She had no way of knowing because it was something that I arrogantly kept to myself because I knew the outcome if it became general knowledge, and I was not ready to leave the ring… I had a few more scores to settle. Anyways! Shelly said that I would not be fighting anyone besides her, and you know what… THAT’S WHAT I WANTED! I want revenge! I want to wage war with her! I want to take back that win that she should have never gotten over me! And we’re going to do that at Waikiki! Speaking of which: the event is sold out, but you will be able to catch it on pay per view, and there are several fan events scheduled for that week-long event, so get out there and meet all of your favorites around the planet! { Tara takes a brief pause. }Tara Fenix: But… that is going to settle that score. I came out here tonight to announce my intent when I return to the IWF in November! { She walks to the nearest camera positioned from the turnbuckle, and shows off that Docherty smirk. }Tara Fenix: Caroline! You have something I– Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night, she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"Tara Fenix: –want! Vasco Dias: That’s Jennie’s music! Tara’s sister! Terri Morasco: What’s she doing? { Tara shoots her glare toward the curtains, but the crowd is rallying at one point in the crowd… With her music still playing, Jennie’s voice is heard so she definitely has a microphone somewhere. }Jennie Fenix: Sir, could you just! Just…scoot your behind in and let me just! Eurgh! { The camera and a spotlight start to scan the audience before finally landing on Jennie who is sitting next to a few random fans, and the rest of the fans in the area have circled around them; the fan beside Jennie raises his phone for a selfie, and she gives a pose with the traditional two fingers and tongue sticking out, but then resumes her attention back to her sister. }Jennie Fenix: Baby, boo-boo! Sis! Kin! Irmã! Sestra! Zus! Honey, I think you– you’re jumping a little bit ahead of the pack, don’t’chya think? { Jennie stands up, and places her hand down on the head of the guy sitting beside her, then looks down at him… }Jennie Fenix: Are you alright, hun? { The guy nods. }Jennie Fenix: Enjoying the show? { He nods again. }Jennie Fenix: Great! Be sure to get your– { She blinks several times. The guy is bald. }Jennie Fenix: Is this your daughter? { She asks and gestures to the little girl sitting on the other side of the man, and he nods while inaudibly answering. }Jennie Fenix: Bring her by Clip’d Wings for a free haircut! { Jennie turns her attention back to Tara, and takes a small step forward because there’s not much left to step forward to. }Jennie Fenix: I get it, I get it, you’re all about being the MATRIARCH of the family, and you think that’s somehow putting you in a position to go after the title right off the bat, but… SIS… I had dibs a long time ago on this! A LONG TIME AGO! And then everyone got bumped ahead of me, and then I got hit by a car– { She stops and looks around at the entire audience. }Jennie Fenix: We are closing in on the suspect, BY THE WAY! { The crowd cheers, and Jennie re-focuses on Tara. }Jennie Fenix: And now you’re trying to tell me that you’re going to somehow bump yourself ahead of the pack…? Nuh uh, boo! I’m next! I’m coming after that title! And I’m going to take it, and there’s not a damn thing that you’re going to do to stop me! { Jennie lowers the microphone momentarily, but then re-raises it… }Jennie Fenix: By the way, what’s your plan for dinner tonight? I was thinking tacos, but I know how you feel about meat, and so we can get you that Impossible Burger stuff, I guess, that could suffice– Tara Fenix: Jennie! Jennie! Jennie! Jennie Fenix: What? { Jennie smacks her lips, and lowers her microphone to let Tara have her turn to talk. }Tara Fenix: You are… absolutely… RIGHT! About everything… Jennie Fenix: I know it! Tara Fenix: I am the matriarch of the Docherty clan– Jennie Fenix: Oh, you’re talking about that… { Jennie rolls her eyes. }Tara Fenix: –and I am the one bringing respect to our name… I, of course, had to take a break from the ring, and that was your time to shine, grasshopper! That was your time to let this world know what you were capable of doing, and what this family is capable of doing! The Blake-Docherty connection is royalty in this industry, and I am not going to say that you did not accomplish the mission: you turned heads wherever you went, and where you are now, with IWF, you have been doing some great work! But I’m back now, and I am going to lead the charge. { The crowd doesn’t know how to respond anymore! }Jennie Fenix: Y’know… { Jennie chuckles, and shrugs her shoulders. }Jennie Fenix: The last time that we were supposed to have a match, I refused. I refused because you were pregnant with my niece! And you hold that victory over me… And I do not like that… So I do actually have a proposal for you: Odyssey! November fourth! I get to have the match that I never received. { The crowd erupts into a loud cheer, and Tara appears shocked by the request from her baby sister. }Terri Morasco: What did we just here?! Vasco Dias: Jennie has just challenged her sister to a match! Jennie Fenix: No hate, Tara! No animosity! You just– you like competition, right? That’s all this is going to be! A competition! And if you win, I will go to the side, okay? I will step aside, and let you go on to conquer Caroline as you said you would, but if I win… You have to start from the bottom. { The crowd is still going into a frenzy, and Tara cocks her head to the side. Where she would usually be furious with the interruption, and the challenge, Tara has a slight smile on her face. }Tara Fenix: No hate? Jennie Fenix: No hate! { The chant breaks out amongst the crowd: “Please-Say-Yes!” is what they are chanting. Tara looks around at the audience before finally narrowing her eyes on her sister. }Tara Fenix: You’re on! { Jennie can’t restrain herself from jumping into the air, and pumping her fist into the air simultaneously. She high fives the guy that was beside her, and her daughter, and several of the nearby fans. }Jennie Fenix: I’ll see you on November 4th! …and at dinner. And breakfast, and probably around the house, and can you tell Angel about lifting the– Tara Fenix: Jennie! Jennie Fenix: Okay, okay! Damn! Peace, bitches! { Jennie raises the “peace” sign, as “Sweet but Psycho” plays over the PA for a couple of seconds, but then transitions over to “The Eagle Flies Alone”. While Jennie scurries through the crowd, she looks back to her sister and blows her a kiss, to which Tara responds by catching it. Tara mutters into the microphone. }Tara Fenix: I love you. Jennie Fenix: Love ya, too! { Jennie answers. }Vasco Dias: I think, Terri… No, I KNOW that Jennie has a death wish! Terri Morasco: I mean, Vasco, Tara is going to go to war against Shelly Diamond just days prior! How fit is she going to be? But arguably, Jennie is also competing on the TFCE against Atara Themis– Vasco Dias: RAVEN, Terri. Terri Morasco: My apologies, I still dream of James Raven being single again… Atara RAVEN on the show, and now these sisters are set to compete on Odyssey over who, out of them, is going to be the next in line for a shot at the IWF Women’s World Championship! Vasco Dias: That does not mean that they are guaranteed a shot, it just means that out of them…one of them chases the title, and the other must sit on the sideline! They still have a full locker room that would fight them for the honor! { The cameras go out for a commercial break. } ------------------------------------ WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP 1500 Word Limit R.A. Marshall vs Nick Knight(c) ------------------------------------
{ We come back from our final commercial break of the evening to Terri and Vasco in the commentators booth. }
Vasco Dias: It’s time for our main event!
Terri Morasco: RAM has been making his way through the rankings and tonight he gets his first opportunity at gold when he challenges Nick Knight for the World Television Championship!
Vasco Dias: It goes without saying, this is the biggest match in the young career of RAM!
Terri Morasco: 100% and it may just be the night we crown a new champion!
"This progam has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down..."
{ will.i.am's "Geekin'" begins playing as Ram hops into the picture, and as pyro goes off around him he pretends to do the famous Buster Sword "victory" pose before heading down to ringside. While he gets a mixed reaction from the crowd, he takes a moment or two to look around and admire the gathering around him before stepping inside the ring. }
{ Slowed down carousel music begins to play and is soon joined by unhinged laughing. Driving guitars join the fray and as the voice of Ivan Moody growls "Welcome to the Circus" Nick Knight bursts through the curtain and begins stomping his way towards the ring. }
Welcome to the shit show
Just another freak show
Hang your hat and hate at the door
It's a game of torture
Souls are made to order
Everything you wanted and more
{ Knight reaches ring side as the pre-chorus begins }
You've gotta kill somebody to thrill somebody
Everybody's gotta reason to bleed
You've gotta fuck somebody to know somebody
That motherfucker ain't me
{ He begins to clap trying to get the fans into it as the chorus begins to play. }
Am I the only one
That doesn't buy into the lies?
Am I the only one
That doesn't wear a disguise?
'Cause if I can't break it
And I can't change it
Then tell me, how will I know? (Tell me, how will I?)
Am I the only one
That isn't just here for the show?
{ When it get to the very last line the entire arena joins in with Ivan's snarl }
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS!!!
Terri Morasco: We are about to see a true veteran of the industry take on a man who has wrestled less than ten professional matches for one of the biggest prizes in the world today!
Vasco Dias: And you might not think it, Terri, but these two actually match up very well. Similar size, similar style, this could be quite the fight.
{ The match kicked off with a brief feeling out period. Knight challenged RAM to a test of strength but the younger man started to get the advantage after only a few moments. Nick smiled at the thought then planted a kick directly into the gut of RAM before firing off a firm elbow shot to the side of the jaw of the youngster! Nick then moved right in with a side headlock, making sure to wrench the throat of his challenge to cut of his wind pipe and force the kid to pass out. However, RAM was and is being trained by some of the best technical wrestlers on the planet and manages to free his head, sending Nick into the ropes with a hard push and as the champion came back they both collided with each other with dueling shoulder blocks. Neight man goes down. Nick nods his head, he likes it. Now they both go to opposing sides of the ring and come back at full steam with another dueling shoulder block. Again, neither of them go down. Nick nods, RAM nods, the two hit the ropes once more and meet again in the middle only this time RAM manages to plow through Nick with a diving shoulder block, sending the champion to the mat! }
Vasco Dias: RAM lured Knight in!
Terri Morasco: Smart move by the challenger!
{ RAM looks to take advantage by hitting several stomps into the chest of Nick Knight as he lay on the mat. After RAM is done stomping on the champion he bends down to pick him up but Nick pulls RAM into a roll up and gets a close two count. Knight is back to his feet first and brings his thumb and index together making the “this close” gesture before hitting a kneeling RAM with a nasty looking lariat! Knight pulls his challenger up to his feet and then brings him firmly up over head before dropping him to the mat with a dirty looking vertical suplex. Nick quickly rolls around and drills an elbow into the side of RAM’s face, demanding the referee make a count. The referee slides in but RAM kicks out at two. Nick pulls RAM up off the mat and begins to drive knee strikes into the face of his challenger. Nick is feeling really good about the progress he’s making on this young up and comer and heads to the ropes looking for another dirty clothesline but RAM catches the champion with a snap scoop slam! RAM is back up to his feet at this point and heads to the corner. RAM begins to climb but Knight rolls out of the way. RAM comes back down off the ropes and goes to grab the champion but Knight throws his weight and sends RAM spilling through the ropes and to the outside of the ring! }
Terri Morasco: We are getting closer and closer to the ten minute mark and I think the longer this match goes the worse it is for RAM.
Vasco Dias: Nick Knight has been in a lot of big match situations, a lot of 60 minute instant classics, this is a walk in the park for him so far. RAM needs to up the aggression!
{ Nick comes in hot on the challenger but RAM sends the champion into the crowd barriers! With Knight braced against the crowd barrier, RAM charges in and connects with a huge clothesline of his own that sends Knight into the crowd. RAM climbs out after him as Blue Shoes follows, unwilling to count the men out. RAM lands punch after punch as he drives Knight backward through the crowd and toward the main floor exit door. RAM goes to throw Knight into the steel doors but Knight is able to reverse it and instead he sends RAM into the steel doors! Nick Knight charges in and hits a lariat against the steel doors and then grabs RAM for the LA LA Land suplex right onto the concrete floor! Knight is now feeling the momentum of the crowd as he peels the youngster up off the floor and begins to drag him back through the crowd. Knight runs them both the last ten feet and then sends RAM head first into the crowd barrier! Nick charges in second but RAM drops the shoulder and sends Knight up and over with a back drop onto the padded floor! RAM feels like he has an opportunity here and climbs up onto the crowd barrier. Knight is down and RAM goes for the 404 Error 450 splash on the floor! RAM connects and pulls Knight up to his feet and sends him back into the ring. RAM scurries in as quick as he can to make a cover as Blue Shoes rejoins the action for the count but it’s only a two as Nick Knight gets his shoulder up! }
Terri Morasco: RAM was so close! Had he hit the 404 in the ring this match may be over!
Vasco Dias: You could be right, Terri but that’s a mistake only the young make!
{ RAM decides to head to the ropes again, marching over and climbing the turnbuckles. RAM reaches the top rope and signals for the end of the match as Knight lays there motionless in the ring. RAM comes flying off the top with the Braver shooting star press but Knight gets his knees up! RAM crashes and burns across the knees of Nick Knight who quickly gets back to his feet and grabs RAM for the Non Dairy Creamer half and half suplex. Not feeling satisfied, Nick pulls RAM back up and right into the Welcome to Hollywood ripcord lariat! RAM is down and Nick makes the cover, feeling like he’s got this but somehow the challenger is able to kick out two to the absolute shock of the crowd. Nick doesn’t waste any time and quickly mounts the challenger where he begins to rain down some open fist punches. RAM does his best to cover up but Knight is just to experienced. Knight pulls RAM up and sends him into the ropes, RAM rebounds and Knight looks for a clothesline but RAM ducks it, RAM hits the ropes again and comes back, this time hitting a big time shoulder tackle! RAM is fired up and so is the crowd. RAM pulls Nick up to his feet and locks him around the neck looking to hit a neckbreaker before transitioning into his finish but Knight grips the waist of RAM and instead dumps the challenger directly on his head with a German suplex. Knight is right up and picks RAM up off the mat before he even has a chance to stand and drills him head first into the mat with the Banned in Memphis piledriver! Nick makes the cover and Blue Shoes slides in for the ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner and STILL IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION!!! NICK KNIGHT!!!
{ Nick Knight is on his knees as Blue Shoes brings him his belt. }
Vasco Dias: What an epic first time encounter!
Terri Morasco: RAM did amazingly well for someone so young in his career! I could see this match going a different way in just a couple of years!
Vasco Dias: For sure. RAM is only going to get better from here but right now? Nick Knight is the best and he proves it every single week!
{ The show closes on Nick Knight holding the World TV Title up over his head in the center of the ring. }
