{ Heart of a Champion by Hollywood Undead plays as we are brought to the opening intro to IWF Odyssey! We see footage from this past Sacrifice of the Invictus Champion, Stephen Terrella viciously assaulting Matthew Knox with a steel folding chair before Matthew Knox is stretchered out of the building. Then we see more clips of Emmanuelle, Sorcha Wynne, and Latoya Hyxx in action; followed by clips of John Blade, Nick Danger and James Gilmore. The camera pans around the jam packed arena and the screaming fans before we get a shot of the commentary booth and Iyo Kenshin! }
Iyo Kenshin: Hello, everyone! We're live from the Footprint Center in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona! I'm Iyo Kenshin, sitting alongside my broadcast colleague Rayne, and we want to welcome you to Odyssey!
Rayne: Tell the people about the show we have tonight, Iyo!
Iyo Kenshin: We're going to see some exciting debuts tonight! Two newcomers to our men's division will be in action when Lance Williams takes on John Blade, as well as when Ace Sky squares off against the IWF's resident rotten banana, Nanners!
Rayne: Don't forget Alexandra Calaway making her debut against Latoya Hixx!
Iyo Kenshin: I was just getting to that, Rayne.
Rayne: Not nearly fast enough, Iyo. Let me continue to do your job for you- because we're going to see Sorcha Wynne taking on Emmanuelle! And in our main event-
Iyo Kenshin: James Gilmore steps back inside of an IWF ring to team with James Gilmore to take on Caleb Cannin and a partner that remains a mystery to all of us!
Rayne: When you're as good as Caleb Cannin is, people beat down your door for an opportunity like that! He's going to have his pick of the litter! It could be anyone!
Iyo Kenshin: But fir–
{ The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens. Smoke begins to rise from the ground atop the stage, cast in a purple hue from the lighting directly overhead as 'Disorder' begins to blare across the speakers. Stephen Terrella and Portia walk through the curtain holding hands to a deafening chorus of boos; and noticeably, in his left hand, Stephen is carrying the broken chair he used to assault Matthew Knox with on Sacrifice. They take a few steps before stopping on top of the stage, listening as the crowd tries their hardest to drown out the music with jeers. }
Iyo Kenshin: This is unexpected to say the least, Rayne. After his ruthless assault on the Raven at Sacrifice, Stephen Terrella has become public enemy number one for the moment in the world of professional wrestling.
Rayne: When you tie a man's arms behind his back, rendering him virtually defenseless, and repeatedly bash the man in the skull with a steel chair, you're putting a target on yourself in the process. I'm honestly surprised he would come out here instead of laying low for a while.
{ Stephen turns for a kiss from Portia as the music plays on. Chair still in hand, the two begin their walk toward the ring hand-in-hand. As they near the bottom of the ramp, they make their turn for the stairs. A sea of IWF security personnel begins to flood out from the back. Stephen helps his lovely fiancee Portia up the stairs by her hand, and she walks across the apron all smiles. He tromps his way up the stairs after her to meet her in the center of the apron. The blue-shirted security, rolling sixty deep in number, takes up station on the floor surrounding the ring. Terrella sits down on the middle rope, parting the way for Portia to enter the ring. She glides across the ring and demands a microphone as Stephen makes his way inside the ring behind her. As the music fades, they meet again in the middle of the ring. }
Iyo Kenshin: Given the circumstances, placing a live microphone in the hands of these two may be a questionable decision to many. We are being told, however, that this army of security surrounding the ring isn't out here at their request though; but rather at the behest of IWF officials out of an over abundance of caution for what could happen here.
Rayne: That's a wise decision. Superstars in our own locker room like JC Keeton and Alexandra Calaway are close friends with Matthew Knox. We've also seen superstars from other promotions take to Twitter looking for Stephen Terrella's head.
{ Stephen plants the legs of the chair into the canvas in front of him like he was planting a flag, resting both hands on the back of it. The audience chants "Ass-holes" at the top of their lungs in response. Portia leaves the microphone hanging at her side in her hand, waiting for the crowd reaction to simmer down. }
Iyo Kenshin: Over eighteen thousand people are expressing their feelings for this pair here in the Footprint Center tonight.
Rayne: This building is so loud, it's forcing Portia to wait to speak.
{ A minute passes. The chant starts to subside to a degree as people's lungs tire. Portia raises the microphone to her mouth, but the moment her lips make the first twitch, the boos grow stronger again. She looks up at Stephen and shakes her head with a smile. }
Iyo Kenshin: We may be here all night, Rayne.
Rayne: I seriously doubt Stephen and Portia expected a warm welcome here, but I don't know if they expected this level of animosity from the crowd.
{ Portia gestures for the crowd to get on with it, then allows the microphone to fall to her side while she waits to speak once more. Terrella tilts his head side-to-side, unphased by the greeting they're receiving as he cracks his neck. Another minute passes, and the decibel level starts to drop. Portia draws the microphone up. }
Portia: The–
{ She's interrupted by the ear-splitting boos from the crowd, forcing her to hold her thought. }
Rayne: This is unreal. She has a microphone, and this audience is still making her compete with them to be heard.
Iyo Kenshin: They have become pariahs in the world of wrestling thanks to their own actions.
{ Almost fifteen minutes into the program, the booing finally dissipate just enough for Portia to be heard. }
Portia: The IWF has advised us that it would be in our best interests to apologize for what we did at Sacrifice.
{ She turns the microphone away from her face. The jeers rise in volume, but Portia raises her voice to talk over them. }
Portia: And despite what many of you might think, we're not unreasonable people! Stephen and I can understand how some people may feel we took things a little too far when Matt got his face caved in! Both of us realize how much Matt Knox has meant to so many people in this industry! He's been a mentor to some, an inspiration to many, and a friend to a select few! Matthew Knox has a legacy that you -the fans- appreciate! It wasn't all that long ago that he stood as one of the longest reigning Television Champions in this company's long and storied history!
{ Portia pauses, listening as a loud "Knox" chant breaks out. }
Portia: No, I know. It's true. We know how much you love him. He deserves your respect and admiration.
{ She glances up, saying something off mic to Stephen. }
Portia: An apology probably really is in order. I mean not only did we put Matt in the hospital, but we ruined a number one contendership match between Matthew and Nick Knight for my man's Invictus Championship! We took an opportunity away from Nicky, and we put the IWF in a really difficult position ahead of the biggest event of the year.
{ Portia retreats a step, touching her left hand to the small of Stephen's back. She rests her left foot on the toe of her shoe as she looks up at Stephen. }
Portia: So, baby, I guess the right thing to do here would be to say we're sorry?
{ Stephen turns his head slightly toward the microphone, which Portia is holding in front of his face. His menacing stare is firmly fixed on the hard camera, though. }
Stephen Terrella: Only thing is when you say you're sorry, you should probably fuckin' mean it. And do I look sorry to you fucking people?
{ Portia laughs as the crowd unleashed their venom on Stephen and her. Stephen asks her for the microphone, which Portia happily hands over without any hesitation. She backs up, all smiles again as Terrella takes the chair in one hand, the microphone in the other, and starts to pace a small line in front of her. }
Stephen Terrella: The only thing sorry around here is that piece of shit I left laying in a pool of his own fuckin' blood on this canvas last week!
{ The crowd starts to chant "ass-hole" at Terrella again. }
Stephen Terrella: Did you think I fucking forgot, Knox?! Did you think I forgot what you took from me and how when you came back you threw it in my face in Miami?! Or did you think I was just going to let that fucking shit slide 'cuz your Matt fuckin' Knox?!
{ Terrella storms towards the ropes, practically foaming at the mouth as he barks. }
Stephen Terrella: I don't forgive and I damn sure don't forget, Knox!!! The minute they decided to throw you in the ring against Knight for a shot at my title, I knew exactly what the hell I was going to do!! I was going to take something from you, Knox! Your fucking career!!! You hear me, boy?!!?
{ The veins in Terrella's bald head protrude through his reddened skin as he stops to rub at his chin with the microphone. }
Stephen Terrella: I ain't sorry for what I did. I'm fucking proud of it. I did what Nick Knight and about a hundred other people in this industry didn't have the fucking balls to do– I put the fuckin' Raven down. I stopped his ass. And every time I brought this fucking chair…
{ Stephen holds the chair up for a moment. }
Stephen Terrella: …down on your skull, Knox, I smiled inside. It brought me fuckin' joy. I got a taste of your blood, Knox, and it tasted like bitch.
{ Terrella takes a few steps back, drawing closer to Portia as the crowd boos. }
Stephen Terrella: And the only thing I regret… I didn't take out JC Keeton and Alexandra Calaway first.
{ Stephen hands the microphone back to Portia, and she steps forward with a malicious grin. }
Iyo Kenshin: This is reprehensible.
Rayne: For better or worse, Terrella is unapologetically himself.
{ Portia clasps the microphone with both hands as she holds it to her mouth. The crowd continues to boo. A cup is thrown into the ring from the seats, landing on the canvas. }
Portia: Awwwwe… you people are mad. Did you really think we were going to apologize?! I said Matt was worthy of your respect and admiration, { She touches her hand to her chest for emphasis.} not ours. I mean you people are losers.
{ She holds up her first finger. }
Portia: But with Matthew lost –and, most likely– wandering the streets like some type of homeless mummy; and Nick Knight coming up short at something again... I guess it does leave Stephen without a challenger for his Invictus Championship at Night of the Immortals, which is just such a shame.
{ Stephen simply shrugs. }
Portia: What if we issued an open challenge though? Non-title, of course. Twitter has been filled with people wanting a chance to fight my man after what he did to poor little Matthew. Stephen could fight Matt's pathetic protege, for instance- Bert McAlroy.
{ The crowd pops for Bert. }
Portia: Or maybe Kat Jones wants to give her luck a try?
{ The audience pops at the mention of Kat's name. }
Portia: Or maybe JC Bogeyman wants to walk that aisle and try to spill my man's blood? And I did say try, because if you don't think the exact same thing would happen to you, JC, that happened to Knox… oh how wrong you are.
{ Portia takes a step back, placing herself side-by-side next to Stephen. }
Portia: Because we always have a plan.
{ Portia looks up at Stephen, asking him. }
Portia: What do you think though, baby? Open challenge?
{ Terrella smirks. }
Stephen Terrella: Nah. Every last one of them can fuck off. 'Cuz I fight who I want, when I fucking want… and I don't see what's in that shit for me.
{ Portia touches her hand to Terrella's back. Her eyes narrow with her smile. }
Portia: There you have it. We'll be enjoying Night of the Immortals from the comfort of our own home, away from all of you losers.
{ Terrella tucks the chair under his arm to walk toward the ropes. He sits down on the middle rope, parting them for Portia to exit the ring. }
Randon Haynes: Stephen, Portia… I'm going to need you to hold up for a minute.
{ Portia stops, a confused look on her face as Randon Haynes walks out from behind the curtain. Terrella gets up off the ropes, glaring at Haynes. }
Randon Haynes: I want you both to know I fought hard to keep you from being suspended after what you did. There were voices in the room that thought it'd be best for the company to suspend you both for ninety days without pay. Strong voices, might I add. I was able to plead a case, and I got the suspension taken off the table… but unfortunately it wasn't without compromise.
{ Stephen's jaw tightens. Portia brings the microphone up. }
Portia: We didn't talk about this before we came out. What do you mean by compromise? I want to know, and I want to know now!
{ Haynes motions for her to settle down. }
Randon Haynes: At Night of the Immortals, Stephen is going to be defending his Invictus Championship against one of the men he screwed out of a shot- the Hollywood Butcher Nick Knight!
{ The crowd responds none too favorably to the announcement, but Terrella and Portia are entirely too livid to notice. }
Randon Haynes: And…
{ Portia's head snaps around. Terrella storms the ropes, pointing at Haynes as he shakes his head no. }
Randon Haynes: If he turns up, and he can get himself medically cleared to be there… The Raven… Matthew Knox… in a triple threat match the board has determined will be a Sin City Lockup match!
{ The building erupts! Terrella loses his mind, hurling the chair as far as he can in Haynes' direction! Portia takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Terrella drops down out of the ring and begins to assault security guards, trying to get to Haynes. }
Iyo Kenshin: Stephen Terrella has lost it! The Invictus Champion is being swarmed by this massive security force we have on hand, but he's doing everything in his power to try to fight his way up the ramp!
Rayne: What is a Sin City Lockup match, Iyo?! Terrella doesn't even know what the match is!
Iyo Kenshin: I'm being told in my headset it'll be an elimination style match, and the only way to win will be to handcuff your opponent -or opponents- if Matt Knox is cleared to compete by then!
Rayne: That is another huge match at Night of the Immortals!
{ Stephen Terrella tosses a security guard into the barricade, but four more quickly swarm him. Portia is very quickly making her way to the outside to try and calm her husband-to-be down. She tells him off microphone "Baby, it's fine… it's fine… you've beaten Knight, and Knox isn't coming." Terrella pulls against the eight men on his arms holding him back. Portia puts both of her hands on Terrella's chest. }
Iyo Kenshin: If this does become a triple threat match, you have to believe that's the last thing Stephen Terrella wanted, Rayne!
Rayne: We could overhear Portia though, and I can't help but think she's right– there is no way Knox is cleared by then. Nevertheless, Knight alone will be everything Terrella can handle… and maybe more!
{ Suddenly the lights go out. The arena falls eerily silent until the speakers fill with the sound of ravens calling. The cries of the Raven's grow louder, reaching a crescendo. As quickly as it all started, it stops, and the lights come back on. Portia has drawn close to Terrella, the security having released him to bail when the lights went out. Stephen holds his girl close, angrily looking around the arena for Knox as the crowd cheers. The show cuts to a commercial. }

Alexandra Calaway vs Latoya Hixx
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: This is our opening contest of the evening! The following match will be scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…
{ The lights go down and "Mine" by Halestorm starts to play. The arena is filled with Red and lights and fog. The Silhouette of Alexandra can be seen at the top of the ramp. She poses on the top of the ramp and as the beat drops, she starts to make her way down the ramp, towards the ring. Stopping halfway down the ramp, she stops looking out over the crowd, before continuing on. She smirks seeing some of the signs people made, a cocky smirk crosses her face. }
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring .. hailing from DALLAS, TX.. ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!!!!!
{ Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in the front row. She watches up the ramp, messing with her hair as she waits for her opponent. }
Iyo Kenshin: We are set to take our first look at Alexandra Calaway in ring action, Rayne.
Rayne: I've been looking forward to this match all week. Roberto has been cutting some checks, and the IWF has made a flurry of signings. What fascinates me about this one though is she has jumped right into the deep end of the pool. Alexandra ran out with JC Keeton last week to come to Matt Knox's aid, and in doing so she chose a side of the battle line. It's gutsy.
Iyo Kenshin: Alexandra has also dedicated this match to her friend Matt Knox, which may not go over well with some in the locker room, including her opponent tonight- Latoya Hixx.
{ The camera cuts back to Alison Valance. }
Alison Valance: And her opponent…
{ "Sky's The Limit" hits. Latoya Hixx comes out on stage and grooves a little bit. She takes both of her hands in, covering her face, and does her pose. }
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring… hailing from Boston, Massachusetts… Latoya Hixx!
{ Latoya lifts up her blue sunglasses and hands them to one of her fans and walks straight down the aisle. She approaches the ring and hops on it. She holds onto the ropes and bends over to show the crowd her Boss Knuckles. She gets inside of the ring and she takes off her wrestling gear and waits for the match to start. }
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya has been on a bit of a skid lately; but she looks like she means business here tonight, and there is an evil side to Hixx that Calaway can ill-afford to take lightly.
Rayne: Hixx is certifiably insane, Iyo. I don't know how she passed the psych evaluation.
{ The referee for this contest –Tommy Knocker– calls for the opening bell! }
Ding!
{ Calaway wastes no time becoming the aggressor, going straight at Hixx with some furious punches! The offensive onslaught backs Latoya into the corner, where Alexandra continues to pepper her with closed fists before wrapping both of her hands around Latoya's throat for an illegal choke. The referee exercises a very slow count, which Alexandra takes full advantage of before breaking to avoid the disqualification. Calaway brings Hixx out of the corner with a ripcord rolling elbow, taking her adversary down. Hixx checks her mouth as Calaway circles, taking Hixx by the legs. Calaway wants a Boston crab, but Latoya fights the turn. The veteran Calaway allows Hixx to twist her way back onto her back. Alexandra stomps down on Latoya's midsection, takes her opponent's legs, and makes a successful second attempt on turning the Boston Crab. Alexandra sits down deep, but in the scuffle she lost some ring positioning. Latoya's hand hovers over the canvas as she suffers in anguish, but she refuses to tap. }
Iyo Kenshin: Hixx is showing a tremendous amount of resilience and determination, Rayne.
Rayne: She is. I've been in that hold before many times, and it hurts. The human spine isn't meant to bend that way.
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya doing perhaps the only thing she can do… making a play for the sanctuary of the ropes…
Rayne: She's about four feet away, but it may as well be four miles!
{ Latoya pushes up with her arms, walking both herself and Alexandra toward the ropes. Latoya stretches out an arm, making the desperation grab for the bottom rope! The official tells Alexandra she has to break the submission. Calaway holds it for the maximum amount of allowable time before letting go. Calaway gives the official a bit of grief before turning to refocus on Hixx. Latoya is still on the canvas, but has the wherewithal about her to deliver a stiff kick to one of Calaway's bad knees. Alexandra grimaces in pain, and Hixx sees her opening. She delivers another stuff kick with the flat of her boot to the same knee. Calaway turns in retreat, trying to walk it off. Latoya gets up and lunges directly into the back of Alexandra's knee with a chop block that takes Calaway down. True to her brawler nature, Hixx starts stomping away on Calaway's bad wheel. Latoya grabs hold of Alexandra's ankle, lifting her in the air by her leg to spike her knee into the canvas! With the Hellion prone on the canvas, Latoya executes a Standing Handspring Moonsault! Hixx stays on top for a pinfall attempt… }
One!…
Two!!...
No!!!
{ Calaway kicks out! }
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya Hixx coming so, so close to a victory, Rayne!
Rayne: After talking about doing this one for Knox, Calaway would've gotten a hard time from the locker room if she lost there.
{ Hixx builds a head of steam on the ropes and dives into Calaway with the Meteora! Latoya gets up and showboats on the crowd, then pretends to kick dirt back on Calaway. Latoya takes her time walking to the corner, where she ascends the turnbuckles. Hixx flies off, but Calaway prevents the frog splash by pulling her knees up! Latoya bounces Alexandra, clutching her ribs. Calaway grabs her bad knee, suffering the effects of more damage with her own counter. Alexandra grits her teeth and gets up slowly. }
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya, as she is sometimes prone to do, got a bit too overconfident on the frog splash. Calaway will now look to make her pay.
{ Alexandra takes her time on the approach, favoring letting Latoya expend some of her own energy to push herself to all fours. Hixx is still coughing, reaching for her ribs when Alexandra delivers the curb stomp! }
Rayne: Face, meet canvas.
Iyo Kenshin: Calaway may have been able to finish it there… but it doesn't look as if she's done! Alexandra lifting Hixx off the canvas…
Rayne: This may be bad news for Latoya.
{ Calaway places Hixx's head between her legs, holding her up by the trunks. The Hellion hoists Latoya up and delivers her version of the elevated powerbomb she calls the "Apocalypse"!! }
Iyo Kenshin: Devastating!
Rayne: Goodnight, Latoya Hixx.
{ Alexandra kneels down next to Latoya, putting both hands on Hixx's chest for a cover. The referee slides into position for the count… }
One!...
Two!!...
Three!!!
{ The referee calls for the bell. }
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
{ Calaway gets up as her music hits. She looks directly into the camera, talking a little trash. The referee comes up and raises Calaway's arm in victory. }
Winner: Alexandra Calaway by pinfall

{ It cuts to the back where Maria Iniesta is seen holding a microphone in front of the IWF logo. }
Maria Iniesta: The IWF has signed some new major stars recently including Alexandra Calaway and Lance Williams. But no one as GOLD-geous as the one joining me at this time. A big IWF welcome to Adi Gold!
{ Adi Gold walks on screen to a semi-decent pop from the arena crowd. She gently hugs Maria. While wearing a IWF t-shirt, she smirks and waves into the camera. }
Adi Gold: That was a very nice welcome. I am super thrilled to be apart of the IWF. Should be a awesomely fun ride for all of three of us. Me, IWF and of course my lovely fans. My sweet peasn. So, thank you Mary for taking the time to chat with me...
Maria Iniesta: It's Maria... but it's fine. You're new...
{ Adi looks frustrated as she got Maria's name wrong. }
Adi Gold: You know, I could have sworn it was Mary. That's on me. That's my mistake. I'll make some mistakes on the way. But the mistakes I make, I will make them the 'right' way this time. That I can promise...
Maria Iniesta: It's fine, Adi! Seriously, it's fine. So what are some of your goals now that you are here in IWF?
{ Adi nods smiling, rubbing her hands together. }
Adi Gold: Well... "Maria"... I am here for it all. To entertain the masses and kick a little butt while doing it. If I make a few friends and some enemies on the way. Then I'm all the merrier for it. It's been awhile since I stepped in the ring. So I will be a bit ring rusty. I'm practically a virgin wrestler once again since my loooooong hiatus. But you know what they say about virgins? Being one is a wonderful and precious thing to hold on to. Just as long as it doesn't stop you from having dirty hardcore sex... And I'm gonna be the most sexed up virgin in this company...
{ Maria and Adi share an awkward silence. }
Maria Iniesta: Hm. Not sure what that means? You're not here to have pornography sex with everyone are you? That... wouldn't be appropriate.
Adi Gold: No! No! I meant the virgin thing as a analogy. Maybe I should used a different one. Like being a chef going back into the kitchen. Or riding a bicycle. Can we start over. Take two... and ACION!
{ Maria looks awkwardly off camera and then back at Adi. }
Maria Iniesta: We... we are live, Adi...
{ Adi Gold looks nervous and then fakes a smile. }
Adi Gold: I know! It's just a joke. All part of my promo here. That's... that's what I'm trying to say. You only have one chance to make a first impression. I'm not even nervous. Nope. Not at all. I just need to remember, the first impression in a wrestling company is the most important day of my whole life. If it doesn't go right, there's no way to get it back! No! Way! With that being said. I won't let my peas down around the world. I won't let down the IWF. And certainly I won't let down my peas. My fans...
Maria Iniesta: You... said the peas fan thing already.
Adi Gold: I did? Hm. How about another take? We'll nail it on this one... Ok. Director. Take threeeeee. Aaaaannnnnnnd ACTION!
{ Adi walks off screen as Maria watches her confused. Maria looks at the camera shrugging. }
Maria Iniesta: She just left... she's just walked over to catering? Ok. Well... that's Adi Gold. Looking forward to her... debut? Back to ring side…

Lance Williams vs John Blade
------------------------------------
{ "Unstoppable" by Disturbed starts to play throughout the arena as smoke starts to fill up the top of the entrance ramp. The crowd instantly reacts with a chorus of boos and abuse showing their hate for Lance Williams. Once the smoke had totally covered the top of the entrance ramp, "The Definition Of Definition", "The Venomous Bastard", Lance Williams swaggers out through the smoke with such an egotistical swagger it causes the crowd to shout even more abuse. Stopping at the top of the ramp, Lance just stands there with a smirk that just shows why he is a bastard and a venomous one at that. Lance now makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring. On his way down, Lance spits on the floor in front of the crowd showing nothing but disrespect for them. Once at the ring, Lance shows off by jumping up onto the apron and in quick succession doing a front flip over the ropes and landing in a kneeling position and then throws his arms out wide soaking in the extremely negative reaction he is getting. Lance jumps up to his feet and instantly signals for a microphone. Lance is handed a microphone as he looks over at John Blade who is already in the ring and just laughs much to the confusion of John Blade. }
Lance Williams: I have a few things to get off my chest and whether any of you like it or not, you’re going to shut up, and you’re going to listen.
{ As the crowd starts to boo and shout abuse again, Lance smirks as he stands there taking it all in, the hate is what he lives for. }
Lance Williams: Let me start this in a way that you’d understand John Blade. You’re the wrestling equivalent of MGK, whereas I am the wrestling equivalent of Eminem. Just like Eminem is out of MGK league, the same can be said for me with you. I’m a multi-platinum selling superstar, whereas you’re the type of thing you find in a roadside garage sale. You’re beneath me, John Blade. I don’t know what whoever books these matches was thinking but they’d clearly used up what little brain cells they had on the match before.
{ John Blade tries to step forward but is stopped by the referee who makes him step back much to the delight of Lance who can’t stop grinning. }
Lance Williams: When I look at you, John Blade, I wonder how you got such a hot daughter. Maybe I’ll just head backstage and hit her up, that way I can find out if she is as good as her mom was. Don’t worry, John I brought these for you because I knew you was going to cry like the little bitch you are.
{ Lance pulled a small pack of tissues from his tights and throws them at John Blade who was again was held back by the referee. }
Lance Williams: I’m sure the referee here is wanting to get the match under way but for now he, much like yourself John is going to have to wait until I’m ready. As I was saying earlier, John. You’re MGK and I am Eminem. Much like MGK you try to rap but it’s crap. I saw what you had to say and let's just say, I think you were dropped on your head one too many times as a baby. See, that’s another thing you and MGK have in common. You see, once I’m done spitting the truth, I’m sure you’ll run away and reinvent yourself as something else and even then you’ll still be beneath me and not worthy of my time. What Eminem and I have in common is that we shouldn’t have to deal with parasites like you and MGK. We’d have both been okay with continuing to ignore you because you’re never going to come close to the careers with and will continue to have. Much like Eminem though, I wanted to address you because I know you’d pull the coward card because your head is always living so far up your own ass to realize you’re an absolute joke. Therefore I won’t be wasting any more of my time with you or this match. I don’t want my first impressions here in IWF to be known as having faced John Blade. Especially since even the janitor is a more worthy opponent than you’ll ever be. You’re not on my level or any level worthy enough to even be in this ring with me, therefore I won’t be wrestling you tonight.
{ The referee now signals for a microphone as Lance Williams rolls out of the ring and stands there with an egotistical smirk upon his face as he looks back to the ring. }
Referee: Whether you like it or not Lance, I will be forced to count you out if you don’t get back into this ring.
{ In return to what the referee has just told Lance Williams, he just shrugs his shoulders and walks off tossing the microphone over his shoulder as he does. The crowd starts to boo as Lance does this and boo even more as the thud of the microphone hitting the outside of the ring echoes throughout the arena. Lance doesn’t for one second look back at the ring or pay the crowd any attention. John Blade is standing there still trying to process what is going on as the referee makes the ten count just as Lance disappears out of sight. }

Tea With Tara

{ We come back from a commercial break, and the ring is more highly decorated; a black carpet covers the ring canvas, two luxurious chairs sit in the center of the ring, and we are already ready to go… Tara Fenix and Keybo Shabez sit in their respective chairs. Tara looks calm and collected; she sits back in her chair, with her hands folded carefully in her lap, and one leg across the other. A pair of sunglasses hide the bright blue eyes. Keybo looks out to the Phoenix audience. }
Keybo Shabez: What a place to make this announcement! We are LIVE! In Phoenix! WITH! TARA! FENIX!

{ Tara places a hand over her heart, as if it had melted from their warm welcome. With her index finger, she pushes the bridge of the sunglasses back up, and purses her lips together while waiting for Keybo to finish his own introduction. }
Keybo Shabez: Last week, Tara, you had told The Black Widow–
{ The crowd does give a bit of a mixed reaction at the mentioning of the name, but the jeers are overwhelming. }
Keybo Shabez: –to meet you in the nest. You promised that this week you would elaborate what the nest is, and we are here LIVE to find out! Can you–
Tara Fenix: I can.
Keybo Shabez: Are we going to find out now?!
Tara Fenix: You are.
{ The crowd cheers. Tara pulls her sunglasses, and tucks them onto her shirt collar. She gives a dramatic pause to keep the audience anticipating, and when she finally raises the microphone again, the audience cheers again before falling silent as Tara begins speaking. }
Tara Fenix: First things first, the ring… over the nest– the ring– will be two intersecting ropes that will hold the prize that Brandy and I will be fighting over in the very center. However, what does that mean for the match? Is it over?
Keybo Shabez: I would think so?...
Tara Fenix: But what does a phoenix need, Keybo? What is a phoenix known for? What makes it the Phoenix Nest? Fire.
Rayne: Has she lost her mind?!
Tara Fenix: Fire will be surrounding the ring on all four sides of the apron. The flames will rise and fall at sixty second intervals, giving both of us the opportunity to reach the intersecting ropes above the ring from inside of it. Now– I’m not a monster, so we know the dangers of coming to this ring. How do we get back to the ring if one of us should be thrown to the outside? At each corner, extending fifteen feet in the air beyond the ring so that we can get back to the inside, will be constructed towers, with tanks of water at their bases. It– sounds complicated, I know, but the gist is pretty simple… Try your best not to be burned, and get the object we have in the center.
Keybo Shabez: And Roberto signed off on this?!
Tara Fenix: He did.
Keybo Shabez: We’ve seen crazy matches in IWF before, but I think this is taking the whole cake!

{ An instrumental with hook version of "Shell Shocked" by Juicy J, featuring Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign, begins to play, and a video package begins to play stock footage of waves crashing, followed by bolts of cloud-to-cloud lightning. }
"Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ As jets of water shoot out from all directions, we tsee James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, posing along to the hip-hop tune, before high-fiving the crowd and walking down to the ring. }
"(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we ride together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(All for one when we fight together)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked
(This family can bear any weather)
Knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked..."
{ Once inside the ring, the Islander alum points heavenward, taking in the moments as he waits for his opponent. }
Iyo Kenshin: Listen to this crowd! They’re here to see James Gilmore in action for the first time in five months!
Rayne: Gotta admit, as much shit as he’s gotten from me over the years?! He’s lookin’ really good!
Iyo Kenshin: I understand he’s lost quite of bit of weight over that span of time.
Rayne: He finally decided to lay off the damn cheeseburgers!
{ "Out Of The Black" by Royal Blood comes on the speaker and red smoke follows on the entrance ramp . Nick Danger walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing his wrestling attire having a determined look on his face he makes his way down the entrance taking off his leather jacket, tossing it to fans and giving them high fives. Nick climbs the steel steps then climbs I'm the top turnbuckle and sees his fans saying "Rising Ace" he jumps inside the ring and gets ready for the match to start. }
Rayne: This has to be a dream come true for Nick Danger.
Iyo Kenshin: Taggine with JJ has gave him a bit of a spring in his step.
Rayne: And…well, Nick’s got a mic. Let’s hear what he has to say…
Nick: I am going to announce my stipulation at Night Of The Immortals the match will be… 45 minute Ironman Match
{The opening riff of “Epic” greets the audience as Caleb Cannin walks onto the entrance stage. He smiles devilishly as he makes a confident stride down the ramp. He reaches the steel steps, glaring at any fans in the front. Making a careful ascent up the steps, he wipes his feet on the apron before setting foot in the ring. He ditches the jacket and towel, tossing them at a poor ring attendant.}
Iyo Kenshin: You heard it right there, folks! Iron Man match, 45 minutes!
Rayne: Hrmmm…if I were in Nick’s shoes, I’d listen carefully to what the TV champion has to say.
Iyo Kenshin: Well, we’re gonna know two things – Caleb’s stipulation AND, most importantly, his tag-team partner!
Caleb Cannin: Cut my music, cut my music! I'm sure some of you idiots are wondering what exactly my stipulation, the stipulation, is for Night of the Immortals. Well, it's simple. I want a no disqualification match so I can inflict as much punishment as I want on Nick Danger. As for my partner, I know you're thinking, "Now, who in the hell would team up with this guy?". It turns out, gentlemen, you can find friends in the most surprising places. You two know him very well, so without further ado, allow me to introduce my tag team partner!
{ He points over to the entrance ramp, looking very excited for this surprise. At that moment, we hear the sounds of will.i.am’s “Geekin’!” The crowd rises to their feet as we zoom into the shocked expressions on the faces of both Nick Danger and James Gilmore! }
Iyo Kenshin: RAM!?! I can’t believe this!
Rayne: Believe it, hun…the kid’s turned to the dark side!
Iyo Kenshin: What a turn of events this is! Look at the facial expression on Nick Danger!
Rayne: And JJ’s too! This is gonna be fun to watch!!
{ RAM strolls down to the ring and approaches Caleb. The latter chuckles to himself before uttering “have at it!” as the 19-year-old takes his spot in the ring. He looks at JJ and Nick, muttering the words “who wants some of this?!” as the crowd noise increases! As Caleb slowly hops down to the arena floor and backs away from the ring – perhaps, his plan all along – Nick Danger decides he’s had enough and charges toward the TV champ with a head full of steam! The crowd roars as Danger connects with a corkscrew suicide plancha off the top strand! }
Iyo Kenshin: Nick Danger ain’t wasting any time!
Rayne: Fool’s errand. He should be focusing on his old partner, RAM!
Iyo Kenshin: Caleb was gonna walk out of the match – and Nick wasn’t gonna have any of it!
{ Caleb and Nick start brawling up the entrance ramp! They exchange lefts and rights while making their way onto the stage. Blue Shoes tries to get things back in order but realizes that it’s a lost cause and waves his arms frantically in the air, essentially throwing the match out before it could even begin! While the chaotic scene is going on between the TV Champion and his challenger, we turn our attention back inside the ring… }
Iyo Kenshin: Goodness gracious, look at this!
Rayne: You don’t suppose that JJ and RAM…?!
Iyo Kenshin: You can feel the tension, folks!
{ James Gilmore and R.A. Marshall are locked in a Mexican standoff! We hear RAM yell out “come get some of this!” over the din of the crowd – but JJ shakes his head, mouthing the words “it’s no good, I can’t do it…” as he gazes upon the crazed look of the young man that once inquired to him about training at the Academy a year ago! }
Rayne: It’s like Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, all over again!
Iyo Kenshin: RAM has often considered James Gilmore to be the only father figure he’s ever had in his life! All JJ ever wanted to do is help get another competitor’s foot in the door – as he helped do with Caroline – and the man’s in a world of conflict!
Rayne: Get your popcorn ready!
Iyo Kenshin: Folks, we’re outta time! We gotta go!!
{ A split-screen graphic shows Caleb and Nick being pulled apart on the left hand side. On the right hand side, JJ and RAM are still locked in a staredown as the copyright banner appears! } |
