Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Triple Threat Match.
Terri Morasco: This should be a good one between three great competitors.
Vasco Dias: I canât wait.
The lights turn black as a single spotlight falls over the entrance, when the song crescendos Redemption is standing on the entrance ramp. He walks to the ring, focusing on only the match. He walks up the steps wiping his feet on the outside of the mat before stepping through the ropes and waiting.Vasco Dias: The man behind the mask looking for nothing but what his name implies, Redemption.
Terri Morasco: He has a chance to make a name for himself here tonight with a huge victory.
Alison Valance: And his opponentâŠ
âCry little sister vs hello zeppâ by Celldweller plays and the lights go down and a spotlight appears on the stage and Nero is in it, he slowly makes his way down to the ring and runs up the steps before stepping into the ring and dropping to his knees in the center with his arms to his sides and his palms facing outward.Vasco Dias: The younger brother of Angel competing here tonight.
Terri Morasco: He wants to step out of his brotherâs shadow oh so badly.
Alison Valance: And now for the final participant in this matchâŠ
"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis by his side.Alison: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!
Mike rolls into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another favored reaction, as Alexis climbs up on the ring apron and through the middle and bottom ropes. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists, twirling them from side to side, waiting for the start of the match.Vasco Dias: This guy has been really hit or miss lately.
Terri Morasco: That he has. He has put on some of the best matches weâve seen but lately canât seem to put anybody away. He looks to change that tonight.
The bell rings as Alexis gives Mike a kiss for good luck and then takes her place at one side of the ring, and Jade and the Bodyguard on another, rooting on Nero. The three men look at one another, waiting for one or the other to make the first move. Nero and Redemption lock up with one another as Laszlo looks on. The two men jock for position as Laszlo kneels down and talks with Alexis. It canât be made out what is said but slowly, Laszlo gets up and charges both men who are taken down by a double tackle-like takedown that sends all three men down to the mat.Terri Morasco: Mike with the first bit of impact.
Vasco Dias: The two of them were involved with one another and he just ran into both of them.
The three get up and all three trade blows with one another right away. Laszlo to Nero, Redemption to Laszlo, Nero to Redemption and the cycle goes round again and jumbles up before Laszlo tattoos Nero with a shot that knocks him to the mat. Redemption then goes for a knee to the gut but Laszlo hits a spin move while grabbing hold of Redemptionâs leg and hitting him with an Exploder-type T-Bone Suplex.Vasco Dias: What a throw by Mike Laszlo.
Terri Morasco: He caught Redemption in mid-strike and threw him over his head with that Suplex.
Redemption is back up and hits Laszlo with an quick elbow before Mike could get up from the Suplex. Nero grabs Laszlo by the hair and hits him with a few shots to the face that back him into the corner before sending him across the ring into the opposite corner. Nero charges in and hits Laszlo with a Running Dropkick in the corner that causes Laszlo to fall into a seated position.Vasco Dias: The action in the ring right now is very fast paced.
Terri Morasco: That it is. For these somewhat bigger guys, thatâs a bit of a surprise.
Nero goes to stomp on Laszlo in the corner and lands a few but then Redemption comes in from behind and hits an Overhead Release German Suplex. Nero lands on his chest and face and the look of pain tells the story as he clutches at his chest. With Nero now on his knees, Redemption hits Low Kick after Low Kick to the chest of Nero who flinches big time with each shot. Redemption looks to hit a Spinning Low Kick to the head, spins and immediately gets caught in the jaw by a Super Kick to the face by Mike Laszlo.Vasco Dias: What a shot there.
Terri Morasco: Right under the jaw there.
Vasco Dias: Nobody questioned his skillâŠjust his execution when it comes to closing.
Laszlo goes for a cover on Redemption getting to two before Nero lunges in for the save. Nero is quickly back on the attack, grabbing Laszlo by the head and pulling him away from Redemption, adding some shots to the back to further stun his opponent. Nero then stands Laszlo straight up with a European Uppercut and then grabs hold of him and throws him overhead with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Nero grabs hold of Mikeâs head again and goes to lift him for a Vertical Suplex. Laszlo kicks his legs around though and falls behind Nero, grabbing him around the waist. Redemption is now up and grabs Laszlo around the waist and in one solitary move, Redemption hits Laszlo with a German Suplex, but Laszlo holds onto Nero and hits him with a German Suplex of his own.Vasco Dias: DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Terri Morasco: What a spectacle. All three men are down in the center of the ring.
Alexis starts smacking the mat hard, getting behind her boyfriend, the crowd getting behind her as Neroâs group tries to silence them to no avail. Redemption though is the first to his feet and Laszlo is second to his feet though slower and with the aide of the ropes. Redemption walks over and hits a Kick to the ribs of Laszlo who stumbles before turning back and punching Redemption in the mask. The two trade these similar blows before Nero goes to get involved only to be dropped by the two men who were dueling. Nero rolls out of the ring as Mike grabs hold of Redemption and whips him to the ropes. Laszlo goes for a Clothesline but Redemption ducks and heads into the ropes opposite. Laszlo ducks and pays for it suffering a huge kick to the face. Redemption backs up into the ropes again and tries to gather momentum as he heads toward Laszlo, but Laszlo grabs hold of Redemption and drills him with a Spinning Spinebuster, hooking the leg for the cover but only gets a two before Redemption kicks out.Terri Morasco: SO CLOSE!
Vasco Dias: Thatâs all heâs been getting is close.
Laszlo gets up and grabs hold of Redemption and flips him into the air looking for the Malicious Intent, but Nero is into the ring hitting Mike in the face with a huge Leaping Dropkick! Laszlo drops Redemption and falls out of the ring where Alexis kneels down to check on him. Nero lifts Redemption to his knees only to drive him back into the mat with a vicious DDT. Nero goes for the cover and comes oh so close, as in a two and a half count before Redemption gets the shoulder off the mat.Terri Morasco: Again a near fall.
Vasco Dias: Nero looking to make a name for himself. Maybe he can finish this off.
Nero lifts Redemption and jumps onto the big man locking in the Guillotine Choke and wrenching back on the hold. Redemption struggles mightily but seems to be on the edge of tapping out. Just as it looks Redemption is about to bring his hand down, Laszlo jumps into the scene and grabs Redemption from behind and Nero by the head, hitting a Reverse DDT on Redemption and an impactful DDT on Nero, putting his own body in harmâs way.Vasco Dias: What a maneuver!
Terri Morasco: This could be it.
Alexis slaps the mat again as Laszlo seems to respond to the cheers of the crowd. Heâs the first one up and looks down at both of his opponents before snapping down and grabbing hold of Redemption before hoisting him into the air and hitting him with the Malicious Intent!Vasco Dias: He may finally finish!
Terri Morasco: THE COVER!
1!
2!!
NOOOOO!!!!
Nero just gets in to break the pin attempt.
Laszlo looks nothing but angry and rolls to his side, grabbing hold of Nero. Nero breaks free and hits some shots to the face but Laszlo hits a Spinning Back Kick to the gut that doubles over the youngster. Laszlo lifts his leg and positions himself for the modified Octopus Stretch!Vasco Dias: ENTANGLEMENT!
Terri Morasco: Redemption is out of it from the Malicious Intent!
Nero struggles but soon, the struggle becomes useless and Nero taps out to the hold.Vasco Dias: He did it.
Terri Morasco: Mike Laszlo just won by submission, forcing Nero to tap out.
Alison Valance: Here is your winnerâŠMIKEâŠLASZZZLOOOOO!
Alexis enters the ring and the two celebrate. A camera from the corner of the ring catches Laszlo during the celebration.Mike Laszlo: YOUR NEXT CABLE!
The crowd cheers as Laszlo exits the ring and celebrates up the ramp.----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
HonorBound vs The Embassy
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fallâŠ
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.Alison Valance: Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 421 pounds, Aaron Frederick Hudson and Keith JohnsonâŠThe EMMMMBASSY!
Vasco Dias: These two might have some potential, but theyâre coming up against some stiff competition tonight.
Terri Morasco: True, but this is wrestling, you never know whatâs going to happen.
Alison Valance: And now for their opponentsâŠ
Honor by Atreyu hits the PA as both Cable and Gjenrei make their way onto the stage. The two of them face each other and cross their arms before bumping their forearms together. They turn and sprint toward the ring and fly in under the ropes. Cable throws his arms out to his sides in the mock Jesus pose as Gjenrei drops to his knees in front of Cable in a prayer pose.Terri Morasco: Spike Kaneâs jackals so it seems.
Vasco Dias: Thatâs uncalled for. They follow Spike because he is a leader of men.
Terri Morasco: Oh please.
Vasco Dias: What?
The referee signals for the bell as the teams talk about last minute strategy before Gjenrei and Hudson start the match off. The two men size one another up before locking up in the center of the ring but it is Gjenrei who takes the upper hand quickly with a sharp kick to the gut followed by some blows across the back. He then unleashes a fury of kicks to the legs of Hudson before finishing with a Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head that causes Hudson to go limp and roll out of the ring.Vasco Dias: What a variety of strikes.
Terri Morasco: Nobody ever questioned the ability of Honorbound, just their morals.
Cable comes down from the apron and starts to head over toward the fallen Hudson but is admonished by the referee as Johnson comes to his partnerâs aid. Unfortunately for him, Gjenrei is still in the ring and runs to the opposite ropes before leaping onto the top rope and leaping off into Johnson with a Shooting Star Press that takes them both into the barricade at ringside.Vasco Dias: Spot monkey.
Terri Morasco: Still a great move.
All three men down, Cable heads back to his corner and stands there ominously. Gjenrei is first to his feet and rolls into the ring awaiting one of the members of the Embassy. Hudson is slow to his feet and rolls into the ring. Gjenrei charges, looking for a Running Leg Lariat but Hudson is able to duck the move before quickly turning and dropping a quick elbow across the back of Gjenreiâs neck, stunning him for a moment. Hudson runs to the ropes and in a quick motion, grabs Gjenrei by the head and drives him into the canvas with a Running Bulldog. Johnson is back up on the apron and takes the tag from Hudson.Vasco Dias: Here comes the bigger member of the Embassy.
Terri Morasco: Look out!
Johnson comes in a house of fire, and nails Gjenrei with a series of three clotheslines, the final one keeping him down for a moment as Johnson goes for Cable who simply drops off the apron to avoid contact. Johnson motions that he was inches from hitting Cable who simply shakes his head. As Johnson turns around though Gjenrei hits him with a Pele Kick to the face. Both men struggle, but Gjenrei is first to his corner, tagging in Cable who methodically enters the ring. Johnson is close to his corner, but Cable grabs him by the leg and drags him to the center of the ring before dropping an elbow across the back of Johnson. Cable then grabs Johnson by the head and pulls him up to his feet before hoisting him into the air and falling backwards with a textbook Vertical Suplex.Terri Morasco: The skill he possesses is advanced.
Vasco Dias: Spike sure knows how to pick âem.
Cable rolls over and executes the Suplex one more time, and a third before standing up and just staring out at the crowd. Cable then lifts Johnson to his feet one more time only to drop him with a Roundhouse Kick to the head that lays Johnson out flat on his back. Cable goes to ascend the turnbuckle but Hudson comes in and spreads Cableâs legs, crotching him on the turnbuckle. Gjenrei comes running in and clotheslines Hudson to the outside, taking himself out with him as Cable stumbles from the turnbuckle, falling to the mat. The referee is busy with the two men on the outside of the ring who are duking it out. Inside, Johnson goes for a wild swing. Cable ducks and locks in the Rear Naked Choke. Johnson struggles for a few minutes but comes to the conclusion that it is better to live to fight another day and submits.Alison Valance: Here are you winnersâŠHonorBound!
Vasco Dias: And the Empire rolls on with an HonorBound victory.
Terri Morasco: That they do. The Embassy fought hardâŠCOME ON NOW CABLE!
Cable refuses to release the hold and starts wrenching Johnson from side to side as on the outside Gjenrei whips Hudson into the steps hard. The crowd pops though as from the sea of people, Alexis Caffrey, girlfriend of Mike Laszlo and thorn in Cable Arcaneâs side jumps the barricade and slides into the ring behind Cable hitting him with a Hard Low Blow!Vasco Dias: What the hell is that!?
Terri Morasco: Mike said she wasnât one to forgive easily.
Alexis rolls out of the ring as Gjenrei chases her out. Alexis escapes and skips around the ring toward the ramp, satisfied with her actions. As she gets to the top of the stage, she turns and allows Cable a moment to see who it was that attacked him. As Cable looks on furiously, Alexis smiles and skips to the back. Cable exits the ring and follows in a stalking like manner as we go to commercial.----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
"Watch your back."
----------------------------------------------------------
We comeback from commercial where we see Alexis skipping through the hall, content with her actions against Cable Arcane. She skips by the camera who pans back down the hall and sees Cable Arcane himself stalking the young woman. Cable increases his pace with each heavy breath. He catches up to her and grabs her by the shoulder. She looks at him fiercely, not an ounce of fear as sheâs been known to show in the face of danger. All of sudden her look of determination turns into a gleeful smile.
On cue Cable is hit from behind with a steel chair to the back causing him to release Alexis and fall forward into one of the production crates that lines the hall. The camera widens out and shows Mike Laszlo raising the chair high above his head only to bring it down hard once more against Cableâs back causing him to roll off the crate in pain.Mike Laszlo: GET YOUR ASS UP!
Mike lifts Cable to his feet and at the side of the crate, lifts him into the air for the Malicious Intent, only to bring him down and slam him face and chest first into the crate. Cable hits the crate and stumbles into some piping where he lies motionless.Mike Laszlo: I told you to watch your back. Iâm not done with you yet. Iâm not done with you yet by a long shot!
Mike and Alexis walk off content with their actions as the camera focuses on a laid out Cable Arcane.----------------------------------------------------------

Singles Match"The Face of the Franchise" Steve Awesome
vs.
"The Lord of the Mustache" Mike Machado
----------------------------------------------------------
{The opening guitar riffs to âMustache Manâ by Cake blare over the PA system, leading into an explosion of pyrotechnics. "Mediocre" Mike Machado stumbles through the smoke that is remaining, fanning his face and gasping for oxygen. The fans give him a mixed but generally positive response; a mixture of pitied cheers and genuinely appreciative roars. A feint chant of "Me-di-ocre - clap clap clapclapclapâ starts up as Machado makes it to the ring. He slides through the bottom ropes and begins to do his pre-match stretches, including cherry pickers and windmills.}
Vasco Dias: âHas anyone noticed the roll Machado has been on?â
Terri Morasco: âI walked into the building tonight, first sign I saw. Spike = No King. Machado = The King..â
Vasco Dias: âGuy is obtaining Elvis status.â
{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.... or do they? Suddenly Awesome's music cuts entirely and the expected pyro never seems to appear, leaving Steve completely confused. Awesome stands with his hands on his hips, he can't quite believe what is going on here. }
Terri Morasco: âAnd here will be Machadoâs hardest challenge to date. The Awesome One. Although I am not sure what's going on with his entrance here?â
Vasco Dias: âPerhaps a minor technical difficulty?â
{ Just as Awesome turns to move to the ring the tron kicks into life and the COO of IWF, Roberto Verona can be seen on the screen, waving at Steve. }
Roberto Verona: Hey... hey Steve! Up here.
{ Steve turns, his jaw almost hitting the floor. }
Roberto Verona: I'm sorry to bother you at such an inconvenient moment but I noticed you didn't arrange for a percentage of your wages to go towards the royalties for your music and the pyrotechnics for your entrance. If you had taken the time to read the small print you'd have realised this was your responsibility, as a result I simply cannot allow you to use your copyrighted materials on IWF programming, nor waste thousands of pounds of our technical budget on inflating your own ego. Until you pay up, I regret to inform you that this will continue, however, we did have something from the back catalogue that may be suitable...
{ A drum begins to roll before "Entrance of the Gladiators" by Julius Fuick aka Clown music begins to play all around the arena as Verona smiles whilst the tron fades and the Steve Awesome is absolutely fuming. The referee slides out of the ring and slowly urges him in to the ring to try and get this match under way. }
Vasco Dias: Somebody hasn't paid his bill it seems.
Terri Morasco: Steve is absolutely furious, how humiliating for him...
{Awesome slaps his chest a bit, trying to take his focus back to the match, as Machado keeps warming up. The ref points at each competitor, who nods, before signaling for the bell to be rung. Machado leaps to his feet, as Awesome smirk a little. Machado steps up, the men lock up. Steve gets the quick advantage, pushing Machadoâs head down, wrenching a headlock, showing his quickness. Steve spins around, getting behind Machado sending a hard stomp to Mikeâs foot, followed by a quick russian leg sweep. Machado clutches his back, as Steve kips up, giving the fans a show before bending over, putting his hands on the mat, doing a casual front flip, aiming a leg drop onto Machado from this flip. But Machado has the good sense to roll out of the way, as Steveâs ass eats mat.}
Vasco Dias: âAwesome with the early offense.â
Terri Morasco: âMachado with the ring awareness, this could be a better match than most people expected.â
{Machado quickly gets to his feet, as Steve tries to shake off the pain. Machado wastes no time, hitting a quick low aimed drop kick at the sitting Awesome, who catches it right in the side of the arm, rolling over. Machado pops up, as Steve is clutching his shoulder now, trying to use the ring ropes to get back to his feet. Machado charges forward, but Steve ducks, sending him over the ropes. Machado manages to catch his feet landing on the ring apron. Steve turns around and is caught by a huge clothesline. Machado looks down, smiling as he tries to springboard over the ropes, but slips, getting caught up in the ropes, which in turn act as a spring sending him downwards onto Steve Awesome. Both men are laying down now.}
Vasco Dias: âWhat...the hell?â
Terri Morasco: âI canât tell if Machado is unlucky and good, or lucky and badâŠ.â
{Machado leaps up, holding his arms up, a little confused how he managed to pull off that ridiculousness. Shrugging his shoulders he steps back, then charges forward looking for a baseball siding drop kick at Steve Awesome, who manages to roll out of the ring just in time. Machado ends up landing weird on his back, as Steve reaches into the ring, grabbing Machado by the leg, and jerking him out, as Machado lands on the floor below.}
Terri Morasco: âGravity can be a bitchâŠâ
Vasco Dias: âYeah, look at your erâŠâ
Terri Morasco: âFinish that sentence and youâll lose something.â
{Steve sends a hard kick, before going back to the apron, looking down at the laid out Machado, Steve turns his back, grabbing the ring ropes springboarding himself into a seat position before flipping backwards into a moonsault, Machado manages to throw his knees up in the last possible second, as Awesome grabs his ribs, rolling off to the side on his feet, leaning against the barricade. Machado rolls over, back on his feet he slides into the ring. Awesome looks up, realizing he needs to suck it up, and get back in before heâs counted out.}
Terri Morasco: âHigh risk, high reward...didnât work out this timeâŠâ
Vasco Dias: âAwesome and Machado have pulled out a lot of tricks tonight, letâs see how one of them can finish this off.â
{Steve clutches his ribs, Machado looks up realizing now is the time to act. Charging forward, Machado leaps into the air, grabbing Steve by the head, dropping both of them down, with his two knees right in Steveâs face. Steveâs head gets driving right into the knees, and before he can even begin to stagger, Machado reaches up in a sit up position, with the Might of Medocrity small package.}
1...2...3..
Terri Morasco: âOne half of the Defenders of the Realms pulls it off! Mike Machado just defeated Steve Awesome!â
Vasco Dias: âBut...that move. The two knees to the face...the drop...Machado with a legit finish?â
Terri Morasco: âAll joking aside, Mike Machado is proving that he is more than a joke, more than a mustache. Heâs the real deal!â

{ The Ace, clad in a nice suit and tie was in the middle of enjoying a platter at the buffet table when a hand slapped him hard on the shoulder and spun him around. The Ace turned to face the not so grinning face of Eddie Black. }Eddie Black: Back the fuck off.

EXTREME RULES MATCH
Rob Diamond vs Eddie Black
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The opening to Mama said knock you put by FFDP blares across the pa as Rob Diamond struts out onto the ramp, the crowd pretty much goes nuts for him as he smirks and looks from side to side as the song's lyrics rock your socks off. Rob begins strutting to the ring like the king of the whole damn world, stopping at the middle of the ramp so he can crotch chop your face off as red, white and blue pyro erupts from behind him in the form of an "X"! He smirks again as he hops up onto the apron and climbs up on the corner post from outside and raises his fists up over his head. }Mama said Knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
Mama said knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
{ He mouths the words a bit as he jumps off the ropes and leans against the turn buckles. }Vasco Dias: Well this next match up didnât start out as extreme rules but Rob Diamond saw fit to challenge Eddie Black to a slight change of the rules, to which the overseas hardcore legend agreed.
Terri Morasco: Iâm a little worried about Rob and his state of mind going into this match, Spike did a real number on him and Eddie should be careful.
Vasco Dias: Iâm not worried about Black, heâs an experienced fighter.
{ Walk by Avenged Sevefold breaks the silence of the crowd as Eddie and Rachel make their way to the ring. }Vasco Dias: Eddie looks completely un phased by Rob Diamond.
Terri Morasco: Thatâs a good way to be, you canât let yourself be intimidated.
{ Rachel slaps the mat as the bell sounds and Rob explodes right out of his corner, Eddie does too and the two of them just collide and start punching the holy hell out of each other. }Vasco Dias: Figured this would just end up being a fight.
Terri Morasco: Yeah I donât expect a match at all.
{ Eddie and Rob are throwing some heavy hitting hands here but Eddie starts to get the advantage and Rob kicks him in the gut. Diamond hits a ddt on Eddie and gets right to his feet. Rob hits the ropes and drives a knee right into the jaw of Black. Rob peels Eddie off the mat but Eddie drives a hard elbow into the gut of Diamond and hits a big European upper cut. Black bounces off the ropes and hits Rob with a Lou Thez press and begins punching the crap out of Rob. }Terri Morasco: Itâs just a brawl between these two.
Vasco Dias: This is exactly how they wanted it.
Terri Morasco: Well I hope their happy⊠The fans are.
{ Eddie rolls off Rob and hits the ropes. Rob is up but Eddie hits a big clothes line. Rob gets up quick and Eddie swings with another clothes line but Rob ducks it and hoists Eddie up for a back drop but then runs to the ropes and dumps Eddie to the outside. Black hits the apron hard and then falls on the floor. Rob grabs the top rope and lets out a yell before sending himself flying over the top and dropping right down on Eddie with a cross body! }Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond taking to the skies, thatâs a very rarely seen occurrence right there.
Terri Morasco: Heâs going all out, perhaps showing Spike what heâs capable of?
Vasco Dias: Could be.
{ Rob is right up and stomps Black on the back of the head before flipping up the apron and grabbing a steel chair. He slaps the chair hard with his hand as Black starts to get up. Rob brings the chair down across the back of Eddie Black and the fans ooohh with how hard the chair hit. Rob raises the chair up again but Rachel Wells: comes running around the ring and rips the chair out of Robâs hands. Rob twists around and glares at Rachel like heâs ready to kill her. }Vasco: Uh oh⊠Whatâs Rob thinking?
Terri Morasco: Bad thoughtsâŠ
{ Rob backs Rachel up into the crowd barrier where she drops the chair. Rob doesnât take his eyes off her as he bends down and picks up the chair. Rachel looks terrified as Rob seemingly prepares to strike her when the Ace comes running down the ramp. }Vasco Dias: What the hell? What is The Ace doing here?
Terri Morasco: Not staying away like Eddie asked him too.
{ Ace gets in between Rob and Rachel and grabs her by the shoulders and starts walking her away. Rob doesnât take his eyes off them as Rachel pushes at Ace and tries to break free of him. By this time Eddie has gotten up and heâs seething with rage as he sees the Ace with Rachel. }Vasco Dias: Yeah he doesnât look happy.
{ Eddie sprints at Diamond who turns just as Black spears the chair into his midsection and crushes Rob against the ring barrier. Black gets right up and rubs his shoulder as he runs around the ring to where the Ace is. Ace lets Rachel go and claims he was just looking out for her well being but Eddie hauls off and punches the Ace right in the fac.e Ace fires back with one of his own. }Terri Morasco: And here we go, things are breaking down.
{ Ace and Eddie continue fighting but Rob is back up and Rob comes around the ring and crushes Eddie over the back with the chair. Black falls and Rob continues to hit Eddie. Rachel tries to stop him again but Rob shoves her into the Ace who drags her away claiming itâs for her safety as Rob just lays into Black with the chair. }Vasco Dias: Rob has lost it out here.
Terri Morasco: Someone needs to get that chair away from him right now.
Vasco: Dias: Yeah but who would be stupid enough to try?
{ Black is busted open pretty hard as Rob drops the chair and walks over to the ring. He looks underneath and pulls out a table. Rob props the table up on an angle against the side of the ring and pulls Eddie up, he whips Eddie into the table and Black just lays against it. Rob backs up and yells at the top of his lungs before sprinting at Eddie and just crashing into him and sending them both through the table. }Terri Morasco: Rob has lost itâŠ
Vasco Dias: It looks like it.
{ Diamond gets up and drags Eddie to his feet. Black racks the eyes of Rob and pushes him into the ring post. Black runs at Rob with a running boot and pins his head against the post and Diamond goes down. }Vasco Dias: Black needs to keep up with the offense.
Terri Morasco: Before Diamond gets his hands on anymore weapons.
{ Black tries to shake the cob webs loose but thatâs when he notices that Rachel is gone. }Terri Morasco: Come on Eddie, pay attention.
{ Black looks around and gets very frustrated and grips Diamond by the hair and slams his face into the ring post before rolling Rob into the ring. Black reaches under the ring and pulls out another table and slides it into the ring. Black is in and sets the table up on the middle of the ring and pulls Rob up and rips him into the air and power bombs him in the middle of the ring through the table,. Black pins him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: NO WAY! Rob just kicked out of that power bomb through a table!
Terri Morasco: Heâs running on pure hatred.
{ Black gets up and grabs Rob, he pulls him to his feet but Rob twists and jabs Black in the face with a broken piece of table. Diamond rams Eddie into the turnbuckles where he proceeds to head butt him over and over and over again until blood is pouring from Robâs nose. Black is staggers and Rob just grabs him, turns and DIAMOND CUTTER! Diamond pins him. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Vasco Dias: Rob pulled out the win here tonight and definitely showed a much more brutal side that Spike needs to be aware of.
Terri Morasco: Black held his own but Rob just couldnât be contained.
Vasco Dias: But what about the Ace and Rachel?
{ Diamond doesnât bother to celebrate as he rolls out of the ring and leaves. }----------------------------------------------------------

Singles MatchâThe Geniusâ Davey Ortega
vs.
âThe Phoenixâ Xavier Cross
----------------------------------------------------------
{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 Dias: Two men, looking to take the next step. This match will decide our first entrant into the Extinction Event at the upcoming Pay Per View.
Terri Morasco: âDavey wants to get his hands on Spike Kane, defeating Xavier Cross will be his first step in that direction.â
{The lights dim, as the echo of a bird of prey screeching rips through the arena, a large explosion of orange/red/gold pyro erupts across the front of the stage. As it dies down we see the back of Xavier Cross, facing towards the curtain. This is when âThe Phoenixâ by Fall Out Boy begins to play off the P.A.}
{The fans are on their feet, chanting.}
âXavier Cross! Xavier Cross! Xavier Cross!â
{Cross turns around, doing the Atlanta Falcon âDirty Birdâ wing flap, as he makes his way to the ring. Heâll stop and find the first child he sees, pulling a pen out of his boot, immediately signing something for the kid. Before moving over to the other side of the ramp giving fans a series of hi-fives.}
Alison Valance: "Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, coming to you from Lexington, Virginia....He stands at Six Feet...three inches, weighing in at Two-Hundred, and Thirty One pounds. Xavier....THE PHOENIX....CROOOOOSSSS!"
{Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesnât enter through the apron but climbs the outside of the turnbuckle, standing tall as he looks around the arena a grin on his face. He slaps his chest three times before hopping into the ring. He kisses his middle and index finger, pointing them to the sky, before looking down, crossing each wrist to make an X, he slowly raises his arms up. Each post shoots a pyro cannon perpendicular to each other, creating a flaming X for a moment.}
{Xavier moves to the corner, pulling himself on top of the turnbuckle, adjusting the tape on his wrists, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin.}
Vasco Dias: âThe uncrowned champion, Xavier Cross, Ryan Blade has his belt, and this gets his a shot at everything.â
Terri Morasco: âI think at this point, Cross wants more to get revenge then take a strap back.â
{The ref rings the bell, as the two men square off. Davey steps towards Xavier who throws a low kick to the left, then the right. Davey immediately drops to his knees, grabbing Xavier around his leg. Looking to be in pain, Cross is caught off guard, asking Davey if heâs okay. Crossâs question is soon answered with a low blow, or as Ortega call it, Hail to the Genius! Cross staggers back, clutching his manhood as he falls to the mat. Ortega stands up, shaking his legs, laughing a bit.}
Vasco Dias: âOrtega taking full advantage.â
Terri Morasco: âFaking injury, then a low blow. Dirtiest player in the game Ortega is.â
{Ortega sits back, watching Cross try to stand up. Before Xavier can look up, Davey steps forward, sending a hard knee to the gut, keeping Xavier bent over, Ortega immediately bounces off the ropes, catching Cross with a swinging neckbreaker. Cross clutches at his neck, as Ortega stands up, putting his foot on the back of Xavierâs neck stepping up, as Xavier tries to roll to get Ortega off him. Ortega eventually steps off, leaning against the rope, watching and waiting.}
Terri Morasco: âOrtega is ruthlessâŠâ
Vasco Dias: âHeâs sending a message to Spike Kane in this match.â
{Ortega starts circling Cross, who is trying to stand up again, clutching his neck. Ortega laughs a bit, slapping Xavierâs head. Cross struggles to respond. Ortega slaps him again, stepping a little too close, as Xavier dives between Ortegaâs legs, grabbing onto one, and with a quick roll, Ortega is on his stomach, and Cross has his calf slicer, Crossword Puzzle submission locked in.}
Vasco Dias: âLook! Ortega got cocky!â
Terri Morasco: âXavier is going to try and tear the muscle right off the bone with this submission.â
{Cross has it locked in, but looks out towards the crowd. Ryan Blade runs through the fans, leaping towards the apron. Cross lets go of the hold, and jumps up charging at Blade, who grabs him by the neck, dropping down, as the ref is checking on Ortegaâs leg. Crossâs throat is dropped across the ropes by Blade, as Cross clutches at his neck, turning around. Ortega is back on his feet, charging forward. Setting Sun spear, Ortega hooks the leg.}
1âŠ.2...3âŠ
Terri Morasco: âORTEGA WINS! With a little help from...the EmpireâŠâ
{Ortega looks up, seeing Blade standing there, then he looks up to the ramp. There stands Spike Kane, Imperial Title slung over his shoulder, clapping, giving Davey Ortega a thumbs up. Ortega stands up, looking pissed off.}
Vasco Dias: âIt doesnât take a Genius to figure out what just happened. But...is Ortega siding with the empire?â

Terri Morasco: Of course he isâŠ
Vasco Dias:: I donât know why I expected more from Spike.
{ Spike struts down the ramp with his title held over his head the whole way.

Spike is quick to grab his title belt and back up toward the ramp shaking his head and yelling that itâs still his. }Vasco Dias:: Well Alex Jones was just saved from one horrendous beat down but it looks like Spike Kane is throwing this match away as he leaves with the title.
Terri Morasco: What a fighting champion we have, I canât believe this, Alex deserved more.
