1000 Word Limit (Unlimited for Character Development) El Grande Malo vs. Logan Sky vs. Oryon Highwind —---------------------------------------------
{ The beginning of his theme plays and when the drums start to play Oryon jumps from the floor of the ramp. }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen Born in Nassau Bahamas now residing in Pierre, South Dakota. He stands five feet ten inches and weighing in at one hundred seventy eight pounds. He is Out Of This World Oryon Highwind!!!!
{ He comes down the aisle fiving the fans and then slides in the ring and gets the crowd hyped up. }
Terri Morasco: Oryon is looking to make a statement here tonight.
Vasco Dias: Maybe if he spent less time slapping hands with the fans and focusing on his work he would be a threat.
Terri Morasco: You’re a ray of sunshine tonight, Vasco.
{ The house lights dim slightly as the words ‘OLÉ’ appear on the screen. The fans begin chanting along with the music as El Grandé Malo bursts out from behind the curtain. He stomps his way out to the center of the stage, bouncing up and down in time with the music. He hops up and down pointing into the air and quickly begins jogging down toward the ring, slapping the outstretched hands along the way, before sliding into the ring and heading for the nearest corner. He scales the turnbuckles and continues to hype up the chanting crowd before dropping down and pulling on the nearby top rope, stretching while waiting for the match to begin. }
Terri Morasco: Malo has picked up some impressive results, perhaps the power of positivity has been working.
Vasco Dias: I have no idea what that means, but notably… Malo is alone here tonight.
Terri Morasco: Good point, he seems to want to go this one alone… will it backfire?
{ As one of the most iconic riffs in Rock history starts to pump out from the speakers, Logan walks out onto the stage, soaking in the crowd's reactions. He moves to each side of the stage, throwing his arms up to try and rile the crowd up for the impending match.
He marches down the ramp, head bobbing from side to side before he climbs the stairs, wiping his feet on the apron before he steps through the ropes. Then he moves to each side of the ring, shouting at the crowd to pump them up. }
Vasco Dias: Here comes my favourite for this match, Sky has the nous to pull this off. Fine margins matter.
Terri Morasco: Logan has impressed during his time in IWF, could this be another highlight in his storied career?
{ Our match begins as each competitor seems to size the other up. Finally, Oryon makes a dash for Malo, landing a few blows before he receives a elbow for his trouble. Highwind staggers backwards but he soon regrets it as he finds himself walking back and forth between exchanging blows from Logan and Malo. Eventually he manages to duck one as Logan swings… and connects with Malo, whose jaw is rocked. As Malo hits the deck Oryon tries to get some offence in, striking the back of sky with some nicely aimed kicks but before he can truly land a killer blow, Sky gets a vicious backwards elbow into his nose. Highwind is distracted just long enough for Sky to plant him with an arm drag followed by a powerslam which sends him down. Spotting Malo is recovering a little Sky makes a beeline for the masked adversary. Sky drops Malo with a swinging neckbreaker which is hit with absolute precision before he plants him with a well executed leg drop to keep him grounded and place Sky in total control of this match. }
Vasco Dias: Incredible nous from the veteran, he’s taking control of this match and keeping his opponents grounded.
Terri Morasco: He’s applying everything he’s learned to keep this at a pace he’s happy with.
Vasco Dias: Mark my words, he’s a threat.
{ Logan drops another leg, this time across the throat of Oryon, attempting to apply an armbar but finding himself frustrated as Highwind grabs the bottom rope. He’s forced to let go, much to his frustration but as he remonstrates with the referee he doesn’t spot that Malo has lifted himself up and is hit on the back of the head with a vicious running dropkick! Malo is filled with renewed energy as he plants Logan with a cradle DDT followed by a leaping somersault plancha! Logan doesn’t get up this time, but Oryon is back to his feet. Malo spots this and launches a surprise super kick which just about connects with his opponent. Malo keeps up with his momentum and plants a leg lariat on Oryon before finishing off his resurgence with a flurry of multiple kick variations which grind his opponent down. Spotting Logan back on hi knees he returns to deliver some more kicks to him too as Malo takes control. }
Terri Morasco: Just like that the momentum has swerved towards Malo.
Vasco Dias: These matches can swing wildly, can Malo prevent losing control of this?
{ Malo grabs Logan and his another DDT, ensuring that his opponent remains grounded. He spots Oryon has lifted himself back up and charges towards him with a flying cross body… but nobody is home! Highwind ducks and Malo lands hard on his ribs, sensing a chance to injure them further Highwind hits a standing shooting star press followed by a standing moonsault which sets a few flashbulbs off. As logan tries to get up he soon finds himself hit with a series of roundhouse kicks before a Oryon Kick! Highwind goes for the cover, 1…2… NO! Malo dives in a last ditch effort to keep this match alive. Oryon is clearly frustrated, yanking Malo off the mat as he tries to hit a 3 Strike, You’re Out but Malo manages to resist the initial arm wrench. }
Vasco Dias: Oryon need to take Malo out of the picture so he can get a foothold here after an impressive recovery.
Terri Morasco: This is rapidly beginning to fall out of anybody’s control.
{ As the pair struggle they don’t have time to avoid a double clothesline from Logan who has shook off some of the damage. Both hit the mat hard, but Oryon manages to roll out of the ring briefly. Malo and Logan exchange some blows with one another as the crowd wills them to keep fighting before Sky plants a clever knee to the hurting ribs of Malo. Malo winces as he bends over and receives an elbow to the back of his head for this troubles. Logan grabs the back of Malo’s mask as he looks to steady him to hit another blow but… out of nowhere Oryon hits Logan with an Oryon Impact! Logan goes down hard and he seems to have taken the brunt of that signature manoeuvre! However, before Oryon can capitalise Malo comes flying at him with a clothesline which catches him off guard. Oyron jumps back up and ducks another attempted clothesline as the two man begin to brawl, throwing fist after fist at the other and a few kicks to try and gain momentum. }
Terri Morasco: Logan needs to be careful here, he isn’t moving very quickly and these two look like they’re going to look for a finish!
Vasco Dias: Get up you old man!
{ Logan is still out of it here as Oryon and Malo continue to exchange blows between each other but finally… Oryon gets the upper hand! He pushes Malo back towards the corner but as he goes for a final finishing swing… Malo ducks! He moves rapidly beneath and continues to dodge before wrapping his arms around Oryon’s waist. Malo hits an absolutely huge Exploder Suplex into the turnbuckles which rattles the ring as he begins to pump himself up and prepare for a Súper Último Ataque! Malo is ready to finish this, but he is taking his sweet time… seemingly indulging in some bragging. Malo begins to showboat, not paying attention to the recovering Logan who turns him around and strikes with a Burning Hammer! Malo is completely flattened out of nowhere and utilising hi ring guile Sky wastes no time before striking Oryon with The Deal! Highwind is out here, Sky drops to his knees for the cover… 1…. 2….3!!! Logan Sky wins and advances to the final on Night Two! }
Terri Morasco: He did it! Logan Sky advances to the finals of the tournament and what a performance by the veteran.
Vasco Dias: Malo was so close, but the experience of Sky wins this one.
{ Logan is delighted as he celebrates in front of this sold out crowd who shower the veteran with adoration, a well earned reward for a storied career. Malo is distraught on the outside – he knows how close he was, but he allowed his baser instincts to once again deprive him of glory. Sky climbs the turnbuckles and fires up the audience after a strong showing as we take a very brief break. }
—--------------------------------------------- ![](https://i.imgur.com/FSkk4h6.jpeg) —--------------------------------------------- EIGHT WOMAN TAG TEAM MATCH With Special Guest Commentator: Jess Fowler Team Word Limit: 6000 (or Individual 1500 Word Limit) The Murder (Brooklyn Madrox, Vivienne Rodgers, April Madrox and Mai Everstone) vs. Birds Of Prey (Natasha Walker, Rini Ishikawa, Shea O'Hara and Charlotte Shimizu) —---------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an eight-women tag-team match scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: Things should be put to bed here. We have Birds of Prey and The Murder tearing a hole through the entire division.
Vasco Dias: It at least has gotten the women’s division some attention.
{The guitar of “Satellite” by Rise Against starts to hit the Arena as the lights dim a pair of lights slowly starting to pulse up the ramp towards the tron }
“You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it”
{As the main riff kicks in there’s and explosion of pyro, revealing the figures of Charlie, Shea, Nat and Rini, the four of the spread out across the stage encouraging the crowd before they assemble in the middle and charge the ring in unison skidding under the bottom rope to stand, separate and take a corner each, arms spread wide as they keep encouraging the crowd to roar their approval.}
“That's why we won't back down; we won't run and hide Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall That's why you stick to your game plans and party lines But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the American Dreams Oh, shine your light on me”
{The four hop off the turnbuckle and meet in the middle before heading for their corner.}
Alison Valance: Now approaching the ring, they are Charlotte Shimizu, Rini Ishikawa, Natasha Walker and Shea O’Hara as Birds of Prey.
{ There is a brief conversation before Charlotte stands in the ring and the other three step to the outside. }
Vasco Dias: Birds of Prey may be a newer faction but they seem to click very well.
Terri Morasco: It’s hard to argue with you looking at the results since these women have joined up together though.
{The lights throughout the arena flicker and go black, with several of the lights around the entrance seeming to overload, sending sparks flying down the stage. One by one, the screens flicker back to life showing a harvest moon hanging in a cloudy sky as the sound of fluttering wings and screaming crows fills the building. The screens soon swarm with the silhouettes of these birds, drowning out the moon and filling the arena once more in darkness as the opening strings of “The Devil’s Gonna Come” by Raphael Lake & Royal Baggs begins to play.}
“The Broken and Fallen, dangled souls been sent to burn, Nowadays they been calling, telling me soon it’s gonna be my turn…”
{A dark red spotlight hits the stage, revealing four figures standing in a wedge - Brooklyn in front with April Maddox on one side of her and Vivienne Rodgers with Mai Everstone on the other. They stand together, in stillness before Brooklyn raises a hand and snaps her fingers, igniting lines of flame down the sides of the entrance ramp before leading the advance with confident, inevitable certainty.}
“Now I know… the Devil’s gonna come when the sun goes down…”
{The four of them surround the ring, Brooklyn stepping into the center as the other three take to its corners. Red light and smoke fills the ringside as the four of them glare into the audience or their victims within before they join together in the middle of the ring, each of them raising a hand into the air. As one, the hands clench into fists as the house lights return to normal.}
Alison Valance: Next we have Brooklyn Maddox, April Maddox, Mai Everstoneand Vivienne Rodgers as the Murder.
Vasco Dias: There’s a time I would not have placed money on Brooklyn and Vivienne being on the same side much less Vivienne standing against her best friend Shea O’Hara. Friendship is dead.
Terri Morasco: Well, if we all remember Ciara O’Connor…
{ “Queer as in Fuck You” by Dog Park Dissidents plays as Jess Fowler walks down the ramp ignoring the glares and boos from the crowd as they make their way down to the commentary table and sits down next to Vasco.}
Terri Morasco: I forgot you were added as an additional member of the commentary member for this match, Fowler. You can’t feel very safe sitting here.
Jedd Fowler: Why wouldn’t I be? The Murder has a match they allegedly want to win. Coming over here will do nothing to help them win.
Vasco Dias: It’s amazing to see Verona approving you even entering the building after what you did.
Jess Fowler: Allegedly did.
Terri Morasco: Roberto Verona never does anything unless it benefits himself and clearly watching these eight women destroy each other is in Verona’s best interest. I don’t know why you being here helps that.
Vasco Dias: That’s why I always say he is the modern-day Einstein.
Jess Fowler: Suck up.
{ Brooklyn stands in the ring as the rest of the murder goes outside, leaving it to start as Charlotte and Brooklyn. The ref looks from corner to corner as all eight women are ready to go.}
Vasco Dias: Here we go! Eight-woman tag match!
Terri Morasco: This is going to be a war!!!
{As soon as the bell rings Brooklyn hits Charlie with a pele kick. Charlotte responds with a Flying Spinning Heel Kick. Brooklyn takes the hit hard. She comes back up with a Snap underarm STO. Brooklyn tries for a pin but Charlotte headbutts her before the ref can even count. Brooklyn lets out a low-grown and replies with a cross-arm breaker followed by strikes to the torso and head of the Iron Maiden. Charlotte kicks Brooklyn with a dropkick, Brooklyn clearly goes back further then she should have hitting the ref against the ropes and vivienne clubs the ref in the back of the head causing the ref to hit the mat.}
Jess Fowler: Looks like someone owes me thirty dollars.
Terri Morasco: This can’t be good. Someone is getting another ref, aren’t they?
Vasco Dias: Not fast enough.
{ With the official out-of-commission things are now open for full chaos. Shea and Rodgers pair off, Charlotte and Brooklyn, Nat and Everstone, Rini and April. }
Terri Morasco: The history between Vivienne Rodgers and Shea O'Hara is long and bloody!
Vasco Dias: And The Murder has things stacked in thier favor.
Terri Morasco: aren’t you concerned?
Jess Fowler: me? No.
Vasco Dias: I love this!!!
{ Everstone throws Nat into the ropes and follows her in with a big clothesline that sends both over the top rope and to the outside. Rini and Charlotte throw April over the top rope and then send her flying off the apron with a Sapphire Waterspout before following her to the outside. Shea and Rodgers are still going at it in a literal slug fest. }
Vasco Dias: This is a BRAWL!!!!
Terri Morasco: This is exactly what we thought it was going to be! If the Birds of Prey can separate The Murder they may stand a chance!
Vasco Dias: I give Shea, Charlie, Nat and Rini all the credit in the world but there is no way in hell they are beating The Murder in this street fight! Brooklyn was in the Pack. Street fights are how they said good morning.
Terri Morasco: You’re giving The Murder too much credit!!!
{ Mai and Nat are up to their feet but Everstone clubs Nat hard over the back then sends her hard into the crowd barrier! Charlotte is right on Brooklyn with a Flying Thrust Kick and then throws her right into the steel steps. Back inside the ring, Rodgers starts to get the upper hand on Shea O'Hara with a spinning elbow and Rodgers follows it right up with a European Uppercut that sends Shea into the corner. All the while Fowler watches with a smile. }
Terri Morasco: I can’t help but notice the smile on your face as you watches the mayhem.
Jess Fowler I’m just watching what is best for business.
Vasco Dias: Makes sense to me.
Terri Morasco: You are both insane!
Vasco Dias: Business is business!
{ Everstone clubs Nat again and again over her back before she takes her by the shorts and runs her shoulder first into the ring post. April is getting up to her feet as Rini comes at her with a clothesline but April back body drops Rini on the padded floor. In the ring Vivienne Rodgers connects with a powerbomb in the corner on Shea O'Hara. Brooklyn looks out to April and Everstone and calls them into the ring.}
Vasco Dias:: Here comes The Murder!
Terri Morasco: This is exactly what you were talking about!
{Vivienne Rodgers, Everstone and April pull Shea out of the corner and then lift her up into the air for a three woman running corner power bomb!!! Shea hits hard and immediately goes to the mat before rolling out of the ring. The Murder stands tall as Nat rolls in and charges them,Rodgers hits Reflection! Nat stumbles as Everstone hits a Hurricarana to the back that pushes Nat into the hand of April for the Butterfly Kisses !!! }
Vasco Dias: Nat is down!!!
Terri Morasco: Unbelievable team word from The Murder!
Vasco Dias: What did you expect!?
{ The crowd pops as Charlotte comes off the top with an elbow over the head of Vivienne Rodgers! Rini turns and hits a superkick on Everstone and then catches Brooklyn with a Heart Impact!!! Rodgers is up first but Charlotte plants her with the Corkscrew Elbow Drop!!! Rodgers rolls to the outside. Brooklyn comes at Rini who ducks the running clothes line and spins Everstone around into Crescent Moon!!! Everstone rolls out of the ring. Brooklyn is up and Rini looks to put her down but Brooklyn grabs her violently for Up, Up, Down, Down!! Rini rolls out of the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Rini got in some nice offense but The Murder still reigns supreme!
Terri Morasco: I’m not so sure about that. As good as The Murder is doing, Charlotte turned the tides a little!
{ April lets out a roar as Shea and Nat come back into the ring, both women run at April, Shea hits the Celtic Crossfade which sends April right into a Facejam from Nat, making it a Gotham Siren Song!!! Rodgers and Everstone come back into the ring, Everstone going for Shea but O'Hara spears Everstone hard! Rodgers walks right into lunging clothesline from Charlotte! }
Terri Morasco: Here we go! The Birds of Prey are making a comeback!
Vasco Dias: This is only momentary! The Murder will prevail!
Jess Fowler: You keep saying that but I’m less positive.
Vasco Dias:Then you aren’t paying attention!
{ The Murder regroups on the outside as Rini joins Shea, Charlotte, and Nat on the inside. }
Terri Morasco: The Birds of Prey has the highground!
Vasco Dias: You under estimate The Murder’s power!
Terri Morasco: Don’t be foolish Vasco!
{ Each member of The Murder is at a different side of the ring when Brooklyn gives the signal, each one reaches under the ring. Everstone pulls out a barbed-wrapped chair, Rodgers pulls out a barbed wire-wrapped bat and April pulls out a fan with disappointment and Brooklyn pulls out a sledge hammer. Fowler leans forward just watching. }
Vasco Dias:: You’re about to see The Murder carve their faces into the annuls of IWF history! LITERALLY!
Terri Morasco: Jesus…
Vasco Dias: This is about to get really good!
{ The Murder charges the ring, Everstone catches Charlotte with the chair, Rodgers brings her bat across the midsection of Shea, and April drills Nat in the chest with her fan, Brooklyn smacks Rini with her sledgehammer. All four women are down as The Murder starts to have their way with them. Rodgers is beating Shea over and over across the back, Brooklyn drives the hammer into the chest of the fallen Rini and Everstone cracks her chair over Charlotte’s back several times! April looks conflicted with the violence but tries to keep up.}
Vasco Dias: This is chaos! This is The Murder!
Terri Morasco: This is absolutely sickening!
Vasco Dias: They are a cancer The Murder is going to cut from IWF history!
Terri Morasco: It’s disgusting how much joy you find in this!
{Brooklyn again dictates that Nat, Rini and Shea be thrown from the ring as she looks to finish off Shea. Brooklyn lines up a home run swing on Charlotte Shimizu while waiting for her to stand. Everstone and Vivienne pull Charlotte up under the arms. Brooklyn comes at Charlotte but Rini and Nat come back into the ring and take Brooklyn down with a double-team tackle! }
Terri Morasco: Rin, and Nat just saved Charlotte’s life!
Vasco Dias: I never thought I’d see that!
Terri Morasco: Shea is still out?
{ Rodgers and Everstone drop Charlotte with a two-woman German Suplex before going after their leader Brooklyn on the outside. Rini and Nat turn Brooklyn around on the outside and hit a two-woman vertical suplex into a two woman backbreaker! }
Terri Morasco: Look at Rini and Nat working together!
Vasco Dias: It’s only a single moment in this match! The Murder will prevail!
{ Everstone and Vivienne meet Nat and Rini on the outside and another slugfest ensues but Rini hits a nasty backfist on Vivienne, Charlotte seems to slide off the mat with a baseball slide and fires off a superkick! Charlotte picks up Everstone and hits her with Headscissors Takedown on the outside! Nat has Brooklyn up for Facejam! }
Terri Morasco: The Murder is down!!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe it!
Terri Morasco: You better believe it!
{ Rini and Charlotte grab Brooklyn and throw her into the ring. Charlotte rolls in but Rodgers and Everstone manage to grab the ankles of Rini before she can get into the ring. A ref from the back finally runs down to the ring to bring some order to the chaos. }
Terri Morasco: This may all come down to Charlotte!
Vasco Dias: NO!
{Nat moves and keeps April from getting into the ring to tag out her sister now that a ref is here. Charlotte and Brooklyn are still the legal women in the match. Charlotte wastes no time going for a DUSTBOWL TYPHON!}
Terri Morasco: This could be it.
Jess Fowler: Good.
Vasco Dias: No! No, No no!
{Charlotte goes for the pin}
1 2 3!!
Alison Valance: The winner… representing Birds of Prey… Charlotte Shimizu!
{“Tit For Tat” - MYTH & ROID plays over the loudspeakers as Natasha, Rini and Shea move into the ring to congratulate and excitingly celebrate the victory. Vivienne and Mai wait on the outside, April re-enters the ring, and Charlotte lets her check on her sister, respecting the importance of family, despite being opponents .}
Terri Morasco: They did it! The Birds of Prey beat The Murder!
Jess Fowler: I doubt it means the murder will completely go away but we can hope.
Vasco Dias: Maybe you should exit while they are distracted?
{Brooklyn takes a few moments to recover and gain her bearings. She is helped to her feet as Shea raises Charlotte’s hand.}
Vasco Dias: What an endorsement from the veteran here, Shea seems proud that Charlotte is undoubtedly ready for Jennie Fenix.
{The crowd cheers. Shea and Charlotte hug. Brooklyn spins Charlotte around and they get face to face.}
Terri Morasco: We might not be done here.
{A few moments of uncertainty pass between the former World Champion and the reigning Iron Maiden. The rest of the Murder enter the ring again. The Birds of Prey stand ready, but Brooklyn holds up a hand, keeping the Murder back. She then extends a handshake to Charlotte.}
Vasco Dias: What’s going on here? Brooklyn is actually showing her opponent some respect?
Terri Morasco: I guess Shimizu has made a believer out of Brooklyn here tonight…
{Charlotte seems to look to Shea for guidance, more than a little apprehensive. Shea nods and smiles. Charlotte accepts the handshake. In an incredible moment, it seems a truce has been called, as both Shea and Brooklyn raise Charlotte’s hand.}
Vasco Dias: Well, I don’t remember anybody getting this kind of ringing endorsement from two veterans in the business! It’s amazing, truly a historic moment for the young rising star!
Terri Morasco: Well, this is proof anything can happen on the grandest stage of them all!
{Shea is first to let go, she moves to the side, as Brooklyn turns Charlotte to face the music as Shea hits a lightning quick Celtic Crossfade (Sweet Chin Music), striking the unsuspecting Shimizu square in the face as the sold out Italia crowd erupts into boos!}
Terri Morasco: Celtic Crossfade! But why, what’s the meaning of this?!
Vasco Dias: The 2024 Queen’s Gambit Holder just laid out the 2024 Iron Maiden!
Terri Morasco: More than that, Vasco, Shea O’Hara just turned on her friend!
{Before the Birds Of Prey can fully process what happened, Vivienne Rodgers helps her best friend make a hasty exit out of the ring. At the foot of the ramp, Vivienne raises Shea’s hand and they embrace, jumping up and down in each other’s arms, they look back at a confused Natasha whilst Rini checks on Charlotte.}
Vasco Dias: Well, it seems Fowler was right! The Murder aren’t vanquished, they seem to have recruited a new member! Vivienne’s best friend, Shea O’Hara!
Terri Morasco: I never thought I’d see the day Shea O’Hara turned on anybody, but I guess now we know who her real friends are!
Vasco Dias: But we still don’t know why Shea, who has been so vocally against The Murder ever since she returned late last year, would suddenly join their ranks. The power of friendship would be my best guess…

![](https://i.imgur.com/2LgNKeO.jpeg) —--------------------------------------------- SINGLES MATCH 2000 Word Limit Tara Fenix vs. Fiona McFly —---------------------------------------------
{ The lights go out, and we see a combination of eerie green lighting and fog fill the entire arena. Suddenly, a dancer, clad in green, walks onto the stage and performs a tap dance routine to an original Celtic piece, stopping to look at herself in front of a giant mirror--which projects an image of a very young Fiona McFly, aged seven, standing in front of a proud Royal Navy sailor as the first excerpt from the final tweet given by famed actor Leonard Nimoy is shown on the big screen above. }
"A life is like a garden..."
{ As the music increases in intensity, a second dancer, sporting a silver uniform, performs a slightly longer version of the same tap dance routine until stopping to look at the mirror--which then projects Fiona as a preteen, posing with her first go-kart racing trophy she'd won in the summer of 1994 at the age of 12. The second excerpt from the "Star Trek" legend's tweet is shown as the photo in the mirror fades into nothingness... }
"Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved..."
{ A third dancer, wearing a gold uniform, walks onto the stage to join the other two in a frenzied "Lord of the Dance"-style routine as the music reaches its crescendo. At this point, all three dancers stop to look at the mirror once again--this time, it projects an image of Fiona sporting blonde hair, wearing her old University of Wisconsin, followed by a photo of her beating up on Ana Valentine, her first IWF opponent, as the final except for Nimoy's tweet is displayed. }
"...except in memory."
{ As the dancers begin their final tap dance, the four different photographs, all black-and-white, fade in and out as the tune reaches its climax before coming to a stop. The trip walks over to the end of the stage to grab a giant mallet; as a group, they carry the object over and, with all their combined strength, aim it directly at the glass, which shatters into pieces. At this moment, Halestorm's "Love Bites (So Do I)" begins to play as Fiona McFly, with a silver whip in hand, leaps through the busted mirror, prompting pyrotechnics to go off from the top ends of the stadium as a burst of confetti is shot from the stage. With the dancers tapping to her entrance theme, Fiona smiles lovingly as she twirls along with the dancers in her own routine before walking down to the ring, hugging fans along the way as the lights come back on. Before hopping into the ring, she gives the whip to a lucky soul as a souvenir. }
Vasco Dias: Giving weapons to the crowd. How quaint.
Terri Morasco: I’m sure they’ll be fine.
{ The lights throughout the stadium all go out, and we are immediately met with a starlit sky…the camera looks upward for the time being as the crowd quietly waits for the arrival of Fiona’s opponent, The Great Phoenix… Flames start shooting up from the stage and the ramp, igniting the fire within every audience member as the preemptively give a pop for the legendary Tara Fenix, but soon the flames die down, and we are back into darkness for the exception of the stars overhead. }
I’m back from the dead!
{ The note holds as the fires on the stage and ramp shoot back up, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction when Tara doesn’t waste time with walking out from behind the curtains…clad in a blue and white feathered cloak that gives a fair contrast to the fire. Tara holds the cloak around herself as she slowly walks to the center of the stage – a hood hides her eyes, but she looks back and forth at the audience. }
Vasco Dias: Stand up! Show some respect!
Terri Morasco: Ladies and gentlemen, we haven’t seen her in the ring since her match against Serenity Holmes at Legacy! Tara Fenix has come back!
{ As the second chorus hits, the fires shoot as high as they can…Tara raises her arms into the air, tossing the cloak back in the process, and unleashing a roar of her own before raising her leg up and stomping it down onto the steel ramp and whips her hair back; the crystal eyes are locked on her opponent as she walks with a purpose toward the ring. Some of the crowd members in the front row still bow to the legendary competitor, and she points to them quickly but doesn’t break her stride as she bursts into a sprint until she can run and jump onto the ring apron – she climbs to the middle rope and holds her arms up to bask in the glory from the audience… }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen! Now entering the ring! She is! THE PHOENIX QUEEN! TAAAAARRRRRAAAAA FEEEENNNNNIIIIXXXXX!
{ Tara springs off of the middle rope from the outside, and goes over the top rope, landing back on her feet on the inside of the ring…she immediately closes the gap between herself and Fiona, getting nose to nose as Tommy Knocker is there to keep them separated for a moment. }
Terri Morasco: Tara and Fiona head to their respective sides, but this isn’t going to be pretty.
{ The bell sounds, and the audience is already going wild… Tara Fenix and Fiona McFly ease their way toward the center of the ring; Fiona shouts at Tara with her voice barely audible over the noise from the crowd. Tara taps a finger against her own chin, leaning forward to gesture for Fiona to take a free shot. }
Terri Morasco: I don’t know if it’s too smart for Tara to give Fiona a freebie.
Vasco Dias: That’s just confidence, Terri! Tara knows that she doesn’t have to worry about Fiona at all ‘cause I’m telling you, Terri, that even on Tara’s worst day she is leagues above Fiona!
Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly is a former world champion! She’s a hall of famer! Trust me, Vasco, she’s not the type of person that you can take lightly!
{ Insulted and infuriated by Tara’s antics, Fiona accepts the offer nonetheless and connects with a clean wind-up punch! Tara staggers from the clean shot, but Fiona doesn’t press the attack – rather, she stands back and beckons for Tara to bring the fight back to her, giving a similar notion that Tara had given her. }
Terri Morasco: Fiona is too proud, and too much pride to not let Tara even the score here, and now she’s offering Tara a free shot!
Vasco Dias: That’s a mistake on her part, Terri, because Tara will knock her clean out!
{ Tara doesn’t hesitate in retaliating against Fiona with a haymaker! Fiona stumbles backwards and against the ropes, but doesn’t waste any time in rebounding back and the crowd is going wild as all bets are off when both Tara and Fiona are trading shots back and forth with each other! Both of the women have their foot on the gas as they continue to trade, and don’t even waste time with trying to defend from the other…finally, a collar-and-elbow lock up seems to slow them down momentarily, and Tara easily takes control over Fiona here…Fiona tries to overpower Tara, but to no avail, as she gets backed into the corner! Tara drives in a heavy knee to her midsection, allowing her to break free from her grasp – Tara starts firing in with several knife edge chops that gets the crowd more thrilled! }
Vasco Dias: You can hear those chops echoing! And this crowd is loving it! This is why Fiona should’ve thought twice about getting into the ring with Tara, because Tara has already beaten her before…what makes you think she’s going to have a chance this time?!
Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly is a legend in the IWF, Vasco, and she’s not someone that Tara should take lightly! The last time these two fought, it could’ve gone either way, and I’m not counting Fiona out here tonight!
{ Just like that, Fiona is able to reverse Tara into the corner! Fiona fires away with knife edge chops of her own that earns a louder pop from the crowd every single time she is able to connect…but Tara reverses it back, and the two are back to trading knife edge chops, until Tara finally snatches Fiona by the wrist and sends her across the ring into the corner! Tara immediately follows in, diving for a STINGER SPLASH! }
Vasco Dias: She’s getting fired up, and–
{ The audience falls into a hush as Tara is about to connect with the splash…and another huge pop as Fiona is able to move out of the way just in the nick of time! Feeling the effects of crashing against the turnbuckle, Tara clutches her chest and turns right into a SCOOP SLAM from Fiona McFly! The Queen of Queens is able to bounce back to her feet, but The Belfast Bombshell scoops her back up and slams her back down! }
Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly, THE BELFAST BOMBSHELL, is starting to get fired up and I don’t think we’ve seen her move quite like this in a while!
Vasco Dias: It’s been her first match in a while, but that’s why I’m telling you! She’s going to get winded! Tara is just playing possum here right now and letting Fiona exhaust herself!
{ Yet again, The Great Phoenix gets to her feet with assistance from the ropes…but Fiona charges her right away and sends her tumbling over the top rope with a huge CLOTHESLINE! }
Terri Morasco: Tara gets sent to the outside! But wait– what’s Fiona doing here?!
{ Fiona grips the top rope with both hands…the moment Tara gets to her feet, Fiona goes over the top rope with a VAULTING BODY PRESS! The audience starts screaming in joy over the fast pace of the match that has spilled to the outside of the ring. Fiona kneels beside Tara and starts pummeling her the only way The Belfast Bombshell knows how! Tommy Knocker is leaning outside of the ring and starting to threaten Fiona with a disqualification…
Several shots later, and ignoring Tommy Knocker all the while – Fiona kips back to her feet and throws her arms into the air as a gesture to get the crowd out of their seats… the Italian audience obliges! Meanwhile, Knocker continues to count Fiona and Tara out of the match with the count getting up to six…Fiona pulls Tara back up, and slides her into the ring, going in right after he and making a quick cover. }
ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!
Vasco Dias: Fiona McFly is fighting dirty out there, and I don’t like it, Terri! I don’t like it one bit! The problem is that she’s sailing right under the radar to keep herself from being disqualified, as Tommy Knocker is trying to call it right down the middle, as always!
Terri Morasco: Fiona is just on fire right now – I’ll give you the closed fists, but no one ever thought this was going to be a straight up wrestling match! This was going to be a brawl from the start! Fiona challenged Tara for this match, and Tara accepted, after what happened at an RCW event!
{ Tara rolls onto her side, propping herself on her elbow as she starts getting to her feet…Fiona gets up, though, without any hesitation after failing to get the three-count, and is able to grab a handful of Tara’s hair pulling her head back while Tara grits her teeth, feeling a surge of pain rush throughout her body. Fiona draws her back and has her in position for the reverse DDT, a move that Fiona has used to finish many opponents in IWF! SENDING OFF! }
Terri Morasco: Fiona McFly came out here ready to fight, and we could be seeing this one end fast!
{ Tara spins out of it, pulling Fiona in with the short-arm and immediately goes for a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Fiona is able to fend off the suplex, and starts with clubbing blows to Tara’s back until she’s forced to retreat… }
Terri Morasco: Tara avoids a disaster, but Fiona is able to stop Tara from gaining any momentum.
Vasco Dias: We should probably be testing her for some performance enhancing drugs!
{ Fiona again charges toward Tara, and Tara is able to raise Fiona up for a FLAPJACK! She carefully angles it so that Fiona lands collar and neck across the middle rope, seeming to knock some of the wind out of Fiona – Tara immediately gets to her feet, and drives a knee against Fiona’s shoulder blades, then holds onto the ropes and uses her knee to choke her! }
Vasco Dias: And just like that, Tara takes control!
Terri Morasco: She’s using the ropes to choke Fiona, and Tommy Knocker isn’t even giving her a warning!
{ After a prolonged period of time, Tommy Knocker finally counts to threaten a disqualification for Tara…a very slow count. }
ONE! … … … TWO! … … … THREE! … … … FOUR!
{ Tara releases the choke, and Tommy Knocker stands between her and Fiona seemingly giving Tara a warning. }
Terri Morasco: A little late there.
Vasco Dias: I don’t think it was intentional.
{ Gripping the ropes, Fiona rises back to her feet – but Tara kicks her in the back of one of the legs, causing her knee to buckle! A second kick, and a third, and Fiona falls back down, turning as she does, to fall into a seated position, and Tara continues to stomp against her! Tara then rushes the far ropes, gaining some momentum, coming back with a basement front dropkick that hits the mark and sends Fiona tumbling backward and out of the ring between the middle and bottom ropes! Fiona lands on the outside of the ring with a thud. }
Terri Morasco: Did you hear that sickening thud, Vasco?! I think Fiona may seriously be hurt…
Vasco Dias: She signed up for this, Terri! She’s got no one to blame but herself!
{ Tara grabs the top ropes as Fiona crawls on the outside of the ring…pulling back on the top ropes, Tara looks ready to launch herself over – but then she suddenly just releases the rope, and walks over to the turnbuckle, taking a seated position from the middle turnbuckle. She starts tapping her wrist and holds it to her ear as if she were checking a wristwatch, while Fiona still recovers on the outside of the ring. }
Terri Morasco: This is disgraceful.
{ The crowd tries to rally behind Fiona McFly to try to get her back to her feet, and she fights to her hands and knees, shaking off the cobwebs while trying to get back to a standing position. Back inside of the ring, Tara drops down from her perch and steps out onto the ring apron, now waiting for Fiona to get back up to her feet – meanwhile, the count has gotten up to six, and Fiona is finally up to her feet…Tara gets a running start, and right as Fiona turns around, Tara with a METEORA off of the ring apron! Tara rolls through after the landing, and showboats to the crowd. }
Vasco Dias: That’s right! That’s how you do that!
Terri Morasco: It seems like Tara has this match in control, but I can’t really say I’m a fan of the method…
Vasco Dias: She doesn’t care whether you’re a fan of it or not! Twenty-three-years, Terri! Twenty-three-years, she has been one of the best in the ring! Twenty-three-years she has pleased the audiences! Now she has nothing to prove to the likes of Fiona!
{ Fiona rolls back onto her stomach and crawls over to the steel steps, using them to try to support herself…Tara toys with her for the moment, guiding her back to a standing base, then immediately uses a SPINNING BACK KICK connecting with Fiona’s midsection and driving the wind right out of her…Fiona covers her stomach, and Tara takes a step back while measuring her up. The moment Fiona straightens up, GENOCIDE KICK! }
Vasco Dias: Oof! I think that’s going to be all Fiona has left in the tank right there!
Terri Morasco: Knocker is up to seven– eight–
{ Tara rolls into the ring, and then right back out to cause the count to start over. She immediately stomps against her downed opponent, but despite everything Tara is throwing at her, Fiona is fighting her way to stand back up – she gets to a kneeling position, when Tara takes a quick step back and launches forward with a SHINING WIZARD! }
Vasco Dias: I’ll give it to Fiona, Terri– I will! She’s a fighter! She’s a tough cookie! But you’re going against the likes of Tara, and there’s no saying what’s going to happen. She is a bonafide legend in this industry! She is an inspiration to many people aspiring to get into the ring across many generations! Fiona fought well, but damn it, she’s just out of her element here.
{ Tara picks Fiona back up this time, and sends her back into the ring; she follows in right after, and covers Fiona. }
ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!
{ Biting down on her bottom lip, Tara seems frustrated with Fiona kicking out of that one… Fiona immediately sits up to prevent Tara from being able to cover her a second time, and tries to catch her breath. Tara doesn’t let up, though, and circles right behind Fiona before driving a knee to her spine, and then reaches forward to grab her with a chinlock! Fiona fights against Tara to try to break free from the grasp, and does everything she can – she’s starting to gain an angle to break free, and Tara immediately releases before delivering a thunderous kick to her spine this time!
Tara puts Fiona into a SURFBOARD STRETCH and Fiona cries out in pain while shaking her head! Tommy Knocker is trying to ask Fiona if she would like to kick out, but with the crowd behind her, Fiona shakes her head showing her own resilience… }
Tara Fenix: GIVE IT UP, FIONA! GIVE! UP!
Terri Morasco: Somehow, someway, Fiona seems to be holding on but the damage is being done! It looks like– yes, yes, Fiona is starting to break the hold! It seems just as likely out of sheer will!
{ Moving carefully, Fiona is able to get back to her feet – she breaks free from one of Tara’s hands, and is able to reverse the arm lock into an arm wrench of her own! Tara attempts to alleviate some of the pressure, and ultimately is able to reverse it back into her own arm wrench, but before she can even tug on the arm, Fiona immediately ducks under her and gets her into a hammerlock…Tara reverses into a snapmare, and runs forward, rebounding back and hits a basement dropkick! Fiona goes down, and Tara covers her! }
ONE! TWO! TH– KICKOUT!
Terri Morasco: A near fall right there, and The Belfast Bombshell is going to have to start digging deep if she wants to get into this. It seems that Tara took control of this match, again with some questionable methods, but nonetheless, she hasn’t given control up! Fiona needs to do something big here, and– Fiona’s trying to get up, but no! Tara has her!
{ While Fiona was trying to get up, Tara is behind her again and this time gets her for a COBRA CLUTCH! Tara is trying to power Fiona up and down with the cobra clutch slam, but Fiona starts firing some back elbows! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Fiona breaks free from the grasp! The crowd is going crazy in support of Fiona as she rebounds off of the ropes and comes back with a HEADSCISSOR TAKEDOWN! }
Vasco Dias: Fiona needs to learn to stay down! All she’s doing is pissing Tara off right now!
Terri Morasco: You know that’s not going to happen, and with that beautiful takedown, that could be the shift of momentum that Fiona needs!
{ Both Tara and Fiona are quick to their feet, but Tara is a little spun out after the headscissor takedown…she turns right into a CLOTHESLINE from Fiona McFly, and Fiona calls her back to her feet – while getting up, a well-placed HAYMAKER from Fiona sends Tara stumbling into the corner covering her temple; visible frustration on Tara’s face as she is forced to retreat, and Fiona charges in– }
Terri Moracso: Fiona taking the fight to her! Annnd–
{ Fiona goes to attack her against the corner, but Tara is able to kick her legs up and catch Fiona around the neck! Tara pulls back a little bit and drops her weight over the top rope with the FIGURE FOUR NECKLOCK! Fiona grabs Tara’s legs trying to give herself enough to break free, but Tara has it locked in! Tommy Knocker is there! }
Terri Morasco: Count! Just count! Why isn’t he counting?! Do you think he knows how to count?!
{ After a good duration, Tommy Knocker finally starts counting! }
ONE!
…
…
…
TWO!
…
…
…
THREE!
…
…
…
FOUR!
{ Tara releases the illegal chokehold, dropping onto the ring apron while Fiona lies down on the mat holding her own neck – Tara stands up on the ring apron, and sails over with a HILO! Tara immediately scrambles over, hooking the leg. }
ONE! TWO! KICKOUT!
Vasco Dias: I’m going to go ahead and question his ability to count, too! That was easily a three!
Terri Morasco: Fiona kicks out at two, but she’s still feeling the effects of that choke hold. She’s gotta regain her breath before anything else.
{ Tara grabs a handful of Fiona’s hair and drags her back to a standing position, but just as she does get up, Fiona starts fighting back with lefts and rights! Tara drives a knee in to try to stump her momentum, but Fiona is still going – rights and lefts, lefts and rights, everything she can do to try to regain the momentum! Fiona breaks free from Tara’s grasp, looking to keep her adrenaline carrying her forward…Tara answers with a rake to the eyes, even digging a nail against Fiona’s eye that earns a negative reception from the crowd while Tommy Knocker pretends not to notice. }
Terri Morasco: Oh, come on! You have to call something!
Vasco Dias: Call what? She didn’t do anything!
{ Blinded by the attack, Fiona applies a bit of pressure to her eyes to try to soothe them; Tara takes the opportunity to strike with a knee strike causing her to keel over and then sails her over with a vertical suplex! Tara kips back to her feet, with a smirk on her face as she points to the ropes before going into a stride toward them – she leaps to the middle rope, springboarding off of it, and comes back with the PHOENIX DROP! The moonsault into the double foot stomp hits, and Tara falls backwards before rushing forward to go for another cover, driving her elbow across Fiona’s collar. }
ONE! TWO! THR– KICKOUT!
Terri Morasco: Yet again, Fiona McFly kicks out. The resilience she has is astounding.
Vasco Dias: Yeah, but all she’s doing is prolonging her suffering. It looks like Tara is going to bring this match to an end right here! She’s calling for it! We could be seeing Phoenix Wings!
{ Again, Tara forces Fiona back to a standing base but keeps her hunched forward in a butterfly lock; Tara shakes her forcefully back and forth a couple of times to also keep her off-balance…and then leaps up, going for PHOENIX WINGS! }
Vasco Dias: PHOENIX!
{ Fiona is able to counter into a WATERWHEEL DROP! }
Vasco Dias: WHAAAAAT?!
Terri Morasco: Fiona with a huge counter!
{ The adrenaline starts firing again throughout Fiona’s veins, as she tries to get to her feet…she’s a little wobbly after some of the damage that she’s taken. Meanwhile, Tara clutches her own back from the landing she took – she still manages to get up, and turns right around into a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Tara rolls through after the suplex, and stumbles right into the corner, but Fiona charges in right away connecting with a huge SPEAR into the corner! Fiona grips the middle ropes and commits to a series of shoulder thrusts to keep the wind out of Tara for the time being, all the while, the crowd gets louder in support of Fiona McFly.
Tara is trying to fight back, but Fiona is blocking the knees that she tries to dish out before finally tangling one leg around the ropes, and then the other! The crowd cheers as Tara tries to pull her legs from the ropes to no avail – Fiona backs up with her arms up in the air and fires a double finger pistol at Tara while taking the moment to catch her breath. }
Vasco Dias: You can’t do this! Tommy Knocker needs to do something, he can’t allow this to happen!
Terri Morasco: We could be seeing one of the most devastating kicks in the business!
{ Wasting no more time, Fiona gets her running start and comes in with THE CUNT PUNT! The crowd cheers as Tara falls forward out of the corner, and is in excruciating pain – Tommy Knocker is right in her face and seems to be threatening to disqualify her, but Fiona argues back about the tactics that Tara had used throughout the match…she signals for the end of the match, and lifts Tara back up to a vertical base and eventually up to her shoulders. }
Vasco Dias: She should be disqualified right here!
{ The crowd cheers as Fiona parades around the ring momentarily, looking to drop Tara in the dead center of the ring…
TARA SLIPS OFF OF HER SHOULDERS! Tara immediately gets Fiona into a COBRA CLUTCH and SLAMS HER DOWN before transitioning right into THE PHOENIX TRIANGLE! }
Terri Morasco: Tara– out of nowhere!
Vasco Dias: That’s why you don’t play with her, Terri! That’s why! Right there!
{ Tara holds on with the arm triangle as Fiona is struggling to try to break free from the grasp…but like a snake, Tara has Fiona locked in place. Everything is synced, and it seems Fiona is starting to fade – Fiona tries to lift Tara up in order to power her down against the mat…but Tara wrenches harder and Fiona crumbles. Fiona has no choice but to tap out! And she does! }
Vasco Dias: That’s it! That’s all she wrote!
DING! DING! DING!
{ “Back From the Dead” by Halestorm plays over the PA, but Tara still doesn’t release the hold! Tommy Knocker is actually doing the right thing by trying to tell Tara to release the hold and at the threat of reversing the decision, Tara finally does let go… Tommy Knocker raises Tara’s hand. }
Alison Valance: Your winner! By way of submission! TAAAAARRRRRAAAAA FEEEENNNNNIIIIIXXXXX!
{ Tara pulls her arm away from Tommy, and grits her teeth as she leans over Fiona; she snatches a handful of her hair and holds her close as she starts berating her before finally tossing her back and leaving the ring. }

![](https://i.imgur.com/kpxPHUm.jpeg) —--------------------------------------------- IWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS SIX PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH Team Word Limit: 4500 (or Individual 1500 word Limit) Savage Kingdom (c) vs. Kings of Flight and Nick Danger —---------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following six-person contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the IWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first...
{The lights go out for a moment then red fireworks light up the entrance ramp. Then Ballad Of A Champion starts to play.}
{Fireworks light up the entranceway again. The fans go crazy chanting “Rising Ace”. Nick Danger comes in full speed at the entrance ramp with a custom red and yellow 2014 Harley Davidson Motorcycle. Nick Danger does a quick burnout for a moment then gets off the motorcycle. Taking off his helmet Nick is wearing a red and yellow wrestling attire that says “Rise and Fall”. }
Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, standing five feet, eleven inches tall... and weighing in at one hundred ninety-eight pounds... hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... the "Rising Ace", Nick Danger!!!
{Nick walks down the entrance ramp and gives fans high fives. Nick walks over and sees his mother give her a hug. His mother tells him good luck and to be careful. Nick smiles and jumps on the apron and enters through the middle rope. Nick stands center of the ring and does a spade hand sign and everyone chants “Rising Ace” Nick takes off his jacket and shirt tossing them to the fans. Nick goes to the corner and waits for the match to start. With fans chanting “RISING ACE!!!” and “DANGERZONE!!!”}
Terri Morasco: This crowd in Rome tonight loves Nick Danger, Vasco... and how could they not? This young man has a heart of gold and is one of the genuinely nicest human beings in the business. He has even brought his mother across the pond to be here with him at Night of the Immortals.
Vasco Dias: He may also be the biggest idiot in the sport. If he isn't the biggest, he sure better hope nothing happens to El Grande Malo, otherwise this kid is definitely taking the top spot. Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind put themselves in harm's way with absolutely nothing to gain? Even if three lightning bolts come down from the sky, striking all three members of Savage Kingdom, and Danger and the Kings of Flight score the upset heard around the world... this kid doesn't become a tag team champion, Morasco.
Terri Morasco: Nick Danger has never backed down from a fight, and this fight is the right thing to do. I'd say that's why he's doing it, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: It'S thE RIgHt ThInG tO Do. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, Morasco! Maybe Danger should hope nothing happens to you. If the two of you had a contest for who was the smartest, you'd both be fighting for third place.
{The camera cuts back to a shot of Alison Valance, with Nick Danger waiting for his partners' arrival in their corner behind her.}
Alison Valance: And introducing his tag team partners...
{The lights go down in the arena. As they wait in the darkness, the audience restlessly anticipates what’s to come next. Suddenly, music begins to play over the loudspeakers.}
“Bunches and bunches, punches is thrown until you're frontless Oodles and noodles, bang bullets at suckers noodles Last album, voodoo, proved that we was fuckin' brutal I'm talking crazy, half past the clock is cuckoo-”
{The beat on Run the Jewels' “Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1” brings the crowd to life as spotlights shine on opposite sides of the arena. On one end stands Charlie Van Ruth. On the other, Tyson Everest points towards his partner. The two men begin to make their way down the stands and to the ring. Fans receive high-fives and fist bumps from the duo as they work to meet at the barricades. Each man is adorned with a golden crown and matching white and gold attires.}
Alison Valance: Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 403 pounds… Tyson Everest and Charlie Van Ruth, the Kings of Flight!
{Once the team reaches the barricades, they step on top and take a moment to soak in the atmosphere. They finally hop over and rush to the ring apron, with both men staring right at the other. With perfect synchronization, the Kings of Flight flip into the ring and give each other a chest bump. Everest and Van Ruth gesture to the audience, who respond with resounding cheers and applause.}
Vasco Dias: Speaking of morons, the parade continues with these two! It's just like Portia said, they had a chance to not mess this return up after the beating that Savage By Nature gave them the last time, and here they are, making all of the same mistakes again! Why not just steer clear of Savage Kingdom, for the Kings own health.
Terri Morasco: You agree with Portia. Surprise, surprise. Charlie and Tyson are as talented as any tag team on this roster though, regardless of if you'll admit that or not. They have all the tools to be the World Tag Team Champions, and I'm sure it was incredibly difficult to watch Madjinn hand partial ownership of those titles to their bitter rivals. Charlie and Tyson are intent on earning those titles. They don't want a handout, unlike some people.
Vasco Dias: The Kings of Flight faced Savage By Nature three times, and only lucked into one win. Tell me again how Savage By Nature didn't earn it, Morasco. Please, enlighten me. If anyone should know their place by now, it's the Kings of Flight. There is nothing wrong with just being a couple of good hands, and that's what they are. Championship material though? I don't think so.
Terri Morasco: I hope Tyson and Charlie, alongside Nick, make you eat those words.
{The Kings of Flight talk some last-minute strategy with Nick Danger as the camera once again focuses on Alison Valance.}
Alison Valance: And their opponents...
{The lights are dimmed as the "Pumped Up Kicks" by 3Teeth begins to play. Shrouded in the darkness from the low-level lighting, Madjinn, Stephen Terrella and Portia slowly walk out from behind the curtain. The Black Widow crawls out from behind the curtain soon after, stopping on the cusp of the ramp. Stephen and Portia are to her right, making out with each other in a very over-the-top public display of affection. On the Widow's left, Madjinn is hitting a vape. Looking around the arena, Brandy stays on her knees, arms extended, and arches her back in a way that her upper body falls backwards. Forty seconds into the song, just before the lyrics start, Brandy thrusts her torso upward with a jolt. Stephen and Portia look towards the ring in unison with the Black Widow and Madjinn. The Mad Prince offers the Black Widow a hit off his vape, and then the foursome begins to make their way to the ring.}
Alison Valance: Approaching the ring, weighing in at a total combined weight of six hundred twenty-eight pounds... they are the reigning IWF World Tag Team Champions! They are the Savage Kingdom!
{The Savage Kingdom continues toward the ring, with Madjinn and the Black Widow in the front. Madjinn stops a few more times to blow his vape back into the faces of different fans. Terrella and Portia trail close behind, verbally arguing with some of the audience members in attendance. Madjinn and the Black Widow take a walk around the outside of the ring, as Stephen Terrella marches up the stairs with heavy footsteps. Terrella walks the apron to the center of it, stopping with his left hand resting on the top rope to stare down the crowd as Portia applauds for her man from the floor. Madjinn and the Black Widow approach the area where Maria Danger is seated in the front row, and the Widow bites down on Madjinn's ear lobe rather suggestively in front of the matriarch of the Danger family. They begin to antagonize Maria relentlessly as Terrella takes the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Savage Kingdom has absolutely no class! Maria Danger is here as a guest, and she doesn't deserve this type of treatment!
Vasco Dias: Then don't bring her to--
Terri Morasco: Nick Danger with a suicide dive between the ropes, taking out both the Black Widow and Madjinn! Nick Danger has seen enough! You get'em, Nick!
{Terrella levels Tyson from behind with a big shot to the back of his head as the open devolves into chaos! Van Ruth prevents Terrella from doing any more damage to Tyson, firing off some kicks to Stephen to drive the big man back. Danger gets up on the outside, bringing Madjinn up by the hair and whipping him into the steel railing! The railing slides backward as Madjinn's body connects with the steel, and Danger comes charging in with a running shotgun style dropkick on Madjinn! Inside the squared circle, Van Ruth caps a flurry of kicks with a big roundhouse that catches Terrella upside the head! Terrella stumbles, landing on a knee. He gets back up, wobbly... and Tyson Everest, back up himself, takes the three-hundred-pound Terrella down with a spinning wheel kick as the crowd roars!}
Terri Morasco: The Dangerous Kings are in control early! Savage Kingdom may have just swatted the wrong hornet's nest!
Vasco Dias: The match hasn't officially started yet, Morasco. Calm down. You're starting to sound like a fangirl out here.
Terri Morasco: Watch out, Nick!
Vasco Dias: There we go!
Terri Morasco: The Black Widow just raised an arm up, catching Nick Danger from behind with a low blow! Cvetkova with a side Russian legsweep on Nick, taking him back into that steel guard rail! Here comes Madjinn now, and they're going to assault Nick Danger two-on-one right in front of his mother!
{Inside the ring, the Kings of Flight shoot Terrella into the ropes. Terrella bounces off, running straight into a pair of stereo dropkicks from the Kings of Flight! Charlie spots Nick being mugged on the outside and goes out to help Danger, leaving Tyson and Terrella alone in the ring. With two competitors inside the squared circle, the official for this contest, Tommy Knocker, calls for the opening bell.}
Ding!
{Van Ruth goes after the Black Widow on the outside, unleashing a knife-edge chop across her chest. Madjinn comes to his girlfriend's aid, however, planting a boot against Charlie's jaw with the ‘Genocide Kick’! Madjinn brings Danger to his feet, laying Nick's throat over the guardrail and choking Nick directly in front of his Danger's mother. Above them, in the ring, Tyson is trying to hoist Terrella up into a fireman's carry... but the large man drives some hard elbows into Tyson's ear for the counter. Terrella hits the ropes, exploding into Tyson with a huge spear that nearly cuts Everest in half! Terrella goes for a quick cover, looking to end the night early! Tommy Knocker slides into position for a count!}
One! Two!! No!!!
{Everest shoots a shoulder up just before the three count! The competitors on the outside separate, with Madjinn and the Black Widow heading back toward their corner as Charlie and Nick try to recover on the floor. Terrella drives some stiff, deliberate left-handed punches into Everest's skull- punishing him on the canvas for the kick out. The powerful Terrella hauls Tyson up off the mat with minimal effort, hoisting him up, and ramming him spine first into the turnbuckles in the Savage Kingdom corner. The Black Widow tags Terrella on the back, making herself legal. Stephen turns, dishing out a running powerslam onto Everest in the middle of the ring. Having already climbed the turnbuckles, Cvetkova throws caution to the wind, leaping off with a diving Diving Headbutt onto Tyson! Cvetkova tries for a cover, and the official slides into position for another count as Terrella exits the ring.}
One! Two!! No!!!
{Everest once again finds the strength deep down inside to kick out!}
Terri Morasco: That was close!
Vasco Dias: Tyson is fighting, I'll give him that, but each of these kickouts burns a little more fuel out of that tank. People think it's a reprieve, but it's not. You're hurting, and you have to muster a lot of energy to get your shoulders off the mat when you have another human laying on top of you.
Terri Morasco: He's got teammates back in his corner now to tag out, too- but he's a long way away from either of them. This crowd is trying their hardest to rally him, but the Black Widow just snuffed that out with a vile stomp right on Tyson's face... and a spinning boot scrape to rake the face of Everest!
Vasco Dias: I love her mean streak, Morasco! I just love it!
{The Black Widow brings Everest up with two big handfuls of hair, struggling a little to get the larger man up. She dishes out a headbutt to Tyson, then leads him back to the Savage Kingdom corner by the hair. The Widow makes a tag to her boyfriend, Madjinn. Cvetkova takes advantage of the lax count by the referee, applying a tarantula on Tyson Everest in the ropes. She hangs on as Madjinn darts across the ring, building steam to deliver a shotgun front dropkick on the trapped Tyson Everest as Terrella steps over to keep Cvetkova from being launched from the impact with his body. Everest drops to the canvas upon release, clutching his guts. Madjinn delivers a few light kicks to Tyson's head, meant more to taunt than do any damage. The Mad Prince becomes more aggressive, pulling Tyson up, then almost dumping him on his head with a gargoyle suplex! Madjinn makes an arrogant cover, laying with his back on top of Tyson as the referee readies for a count!}
One! Two!! No!!!
{Everest barely kicks out before the three count, seemingly a bit to the surprise of Madjinn. Charlie is jumping up and down in the corner, trying to rally his partner as Danger stretches out, desperately wanting a tag. Upon getting up, Madjinn kicks at Danger's hand, baiting Danger into the ring. Tommy intercepts Nick, and all three members take the opportunity to assault Tyson Everest in the Savage Kingdom corner. Charlie and Nick protest as Terrella chokes Everest, and Madjinn and the Black Widow deliver kicks to Tyson's body. Portia applauds from the outside. Realizing he's hurting his partner, Nick returns to the corner in frustration. Madjinn claps his hands together, mimicking the sound of a tag. Madjinn steps out and the Black Widow enters as the referee turns around.}
Terri Morasco: There was no tag, with more bending of the rules from the Savage Kingdom...
Vasco Dias: Nick or Charlie should throw a challenge flag. Oh wait, there aren't any! Too bad!
Terri Morasco: Cvetkova rolling to the outside now... I have a bad feeling about this... she's down there near that skirting, and based on past history, I have a good idea what she's looking for.
Vasco Dias: It's that black bag, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: The Black Widow has a propensity for using that broken glass. This isn't a hardcore match, but if Savage Kingdom gets themselves disqualified, they still walk out as the champions. This may be all about maiming Tyson Everest!
{The Black Widow rolls back in the ring. She holds up the bag of glass, almost taunting Charlie and Nick with it. Slowly undoing the string holding the bag shut, she then scatters the glass across the apron.}
Terri Morasco: What in the hell is she thinking here!?
Vasco Dias: You'd have to go down and ask her.
{After decorating the apron in glass, Brandy takes two handfuls of Tyson's hair, pulling him up and leading him toward the danger zone. She takes Tyson to the outside with her to the apron, positioning him for a piledriver.}
Terri Morasco: We saw her do this to Jennie Fenix! She's going to piledrive Everest into that glass!
Vasco Dias: There is zero give in that apron, either! She may break his neck!
{As the Black Widow prepares, Tyson musters up a burst of strength, back body dropping Brandy into her own glass on the apron! Brandy's spine bounces off the apron, her body hitting the floor. Shards of glass are visible, stuck in her shirt. Madjinn comes over to check on the Black Widow as Terrella runs at Everest on the apron, but Tyson kicks Stephen in the gut, and uses the ropes to help him deliver an enziguri to Terrella! The kick knocks Stephen down, and Portia is quickly over to check on him. Tyson springboards off the ropes, rolls, making a hot tag to Charlie Van Ruth! The Cyclone enters the match for the first time with a fury, taking out Madjinn on the outside with a suicide dive! Charlie grabs the Widow, rolling her back up inside of the ring. He kicks Terrella directly in the head, for measure. Charlie takes the apron, using the ropes to propel himself into the air, catching the Black Widow with a springboard cutter! Charlie makes a quick cover...}
One! Two!! No!!!
{Cvetkova kicks out, but Charlie remains undeterred. He brings the Black Widow up, then whips her into the corner... Van Ruth rushes in with a European uppercut under Cvetkova's chin! Van Ruth shoots the Widow across the ring, landing her in the opposite corner, and dishes out another running European uppercut to Brandy! He repeats the process, sending her back into the corner from whence she came... and delivers a trifecta of running European uppercuts. Battered, and barely standing, the Widow offers almost no resistance as Van Ruth leads her to the Dangerous Kings corner. Van Ruth tags out to Nick Danger. Danger enters the ring, hoisting the Black Widow up, and doling out a Cartwheel Death Valley Driver! Nick is up quickly and clears Terrella from the apron with the 'Ace Trigger!' He serves up a huge right hand to Madjinn, knocking the Mad Prince to the floor! Danger measures Madjinn for a dive as the Mad Prince gets to his feet, but fakes Madjinn out on the dive as both members of the Kings of Flight enter the ring to taunt Madjinn from a seated position on the canvas. The Mad Prince kicks at the guardrail as the Dangerous Kings wave at him. Tyson and Charlie roll out. Nick sets the Black Widow up, pulls off his elbow pad, and gets a huge pop from the crowd as he goes to the corner. Danger unleashes the 'Ace Blade!' on the Black Widow! Cvetkova falls backwards, possibly out cold from the impact. Danger makes a cover...}
One! Two!! No!!!
Terri Morasco: Madjinn diving in at the last moment there to save the championships for his team! I think Nick Danger may have had the Black Widow there had it not been for a timely intervention from the Mad Prince!
Vasco Dias: That's what couples do! They support each other! Not that you'd know, Morasco!
{Everest and Van Ruth enter the ring and go directly after the Mad Prince. A spinning heel kick by Everest connects to Madjinn, followed by a roundhouse kick from Van Ruth, then a poison rana by Everest, leading to a penalty kick from Van Ruth... and a cartwheel splash by Everest on Madjinn caps the 'Jet Lag Combo'! The Kings and Nick Danger do a triple chest bump in the middle of the squared circle as Savage Kingdom reels! Stephen Terrella comes in though, trucking both Charlie and Tyson with a double clothesline! Terrella goes right at Nick Danger, powering his smaller adversary back into the corner. Terrella buries some stiff shoulders into Nick's midsection, knocking the wind from his lungs. The onlsaught on Danger in the corner continues as Terrella uncharacteristically climbs to the second turnbuckle and starts raining down heavy left-hands on Danger's head, trying to open Nick up. The Kings of Flight get to their feet after the clothesline. Charlie and Tyson come over to aid Danger, and with Tyson and Charlie's help, the Dangerous Kings are able to dish out a triple powerbomb on Stephen Terrella that shakes the ring! The three men high five.}
{Cvetkova interrupts the celebration, coming in with a pump kick to take out Everest! Still suffering the effects of the beating she took earlier, the Widow isn't quick enough to block a superkick from Danger though. Tommy Knocker orders Charlie out of the ring, leaving only the Black Widow and Nick Danger left inside the ropes. While the official is ushering Van Ruth out, Danger takes the apron, looking for the 'Rise and Fall'... but Portia latches onto his leg! Nick tries his hardest to shake her grip, which has all of his attention. Madjinn seizes the opportunity to enter the ring, tossing Danger back inside, over the top rope, just as Portia lets go. The Mad Prince hoists Danger up, hitting him with the 'Lights Out’! Not finished there, Madjinn aggressively pulls Danger up, waving bye-bye to Danger, and then hitting '‘The Mad Gaze’! Madjinn drags the Black Widow on top of Danger! Terrella grabs hold of Tyson to prevent him from re-entering the ring from the outside, and Madjinn goes after Charlie as the referee spots the cover.}
Terri Morasco: No, not this way! Damn it, not this way!
{Tommy Knocker slides into position for the count...}
One! Two!! Three!!!
{The official calls for the bell as the crowd boos.}
Ding!
{"Pumped Up Kicks" by 3Teeth hits as the Black Widow lays on top of Danger, laughing. Terrella whips Everest into the steel stairs, and Madjinn delivers one final '‘The Mad Twist’ to Van Ruth as the crowd boos.}
Vasco Dias: I told you, Morasco! I told you! And still your IWF tag team champions of the world!
Terri Morasco: This has to be such a heartbreaking loss for the Kings of Flight and Nick Danger! They had it! I know they had it! But once again, Portia on the outside.. then Madjinn bending the rules... and it was all ripped away!
Vasco Dias: It sucks to be the Dangerous Kings! The world already knew that, though!
{The Savage Kingdom regroup on the outside, near Maria Danger. Terrella lifts Portia up onto his shoulder as he takes one of the tag team championships and holds it up in the other hand. Madjinn gives the Black Widow the other. Madjinn gives Maria Danger a smirk, then spits in her direction!}
Terri Morasco: That's vile! That's absolutely classless! Madjinn has become what he's surrounded himself with!
Vasco Dias: Unstoppable, you mean?
{The Savage Kingdom leave ringside together as Maria Danger looks up at the ring with concern for her son and his friends.}

Alison Valance: This is a Triple Threat and the winner advances for a shot at the World… Television… Title!
{ The Roman crowd lets out a loud cheer. As "The Touch" By Stan Bush blares out of the PA speakers, TJ Alexander walks onto stages and raises his hands out to the side, he walks down the ramp with a cocky arrogance and chip on his shoulder, and TJ runs into the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle and looks into the crowd with a smile on his face. }
Alison Valance: Introducing first, weighing in at 188 lbs. From London, England. T.J. Alexander!
Terri Morasco: TJ Alexander was pretty fired up for this match, to the point that he’s been pretty dismissive to his opponents tonight.
Vasco Diaz: That’s what you have to do to get ahead in this business Morasco. I like the fire that he’s showing, but he’s gonna need more than that to get ahead in this business.
{ The crowd gives TJ a mixed reaction, but overall positive reaction. Then, the opening beat for Darude’s “Sandstorm” hits. }
Alison Valance: And now his challenger! Weighing in at 240 lbs. Ozura!
{ Ozura steps out and pans the crowd for a second and makes his way down towards the ring. He stretches his shoulders and arms while making his way and then raises his arm to the crowd while stepping on to the apron and entering the ring. Once again the there is a mixed reaction from the crowd, but one that is mostly positive as they ‘sing’ along with the theme music. }
Terri Morasco: Ozura is coming into this match with a bit of momentum after winning his debut match with Logan Sky last week,
Vasco Diaz: Some momentum, sure. But a victory in a tag team match is different from a triple threat. This is Night of the Immortals. Let’s see if he can rise to the occasion or if he blisters under the lights.
{ The opening bars to a metal cover of "Necron" -- the final battle theme from Final Fantasy IX -- begin to play as we hear distorted audio recordings of screams and laughter filter in. The visual of blood red-hued programming language being typed on a screen is seen with a hint of flame dancing in the background. The flames grow bigger and bigger before the pictures cut to black, and the following message appears. }
"c000021a [FATAL SYSTEM ERROR]"
{ As "Necron" kicks into gear, 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. }
Alison Valance: Their opponent, weighing in at 225 lbs. From Watauga, TX, RAM!
Vasco Diaz: RAM has been on a tear recently and he’s mad as hell. Tear down the nepotism RAM!
Terri Morasco: As unbiased as usual, Vasco?
Vasco Diaz: Calling it like I see it Morassco.
{ The Roman crowd rains boos down on RAM as he makes his way down to the ring. Alison Valance makes her way from the ring to take her spot at ringside as the official moves to each competitor, checking them over and making sure they are prepared to start the match. Once the official has ascertained that everyone is prepared they signal for the bell. The three men push out of their corners, slowly circling the ring as they look at their two opponents. }
Terri Morasco: Each man in this match is taking a moment to get the measure of their opponents.
Vasco Diaz: You have to keep on your toes in a match like this, Morasco. The slightest slip up can be exploited by your opponents.
{ TJ is the first to make a move, impatient for the match to get started. He bursts into action, running at Ozura to hit him with a rising Knee strike and knocking the bigger man off balance. Ram is quick to follow up, rushing at TJ while he is distracted and hitting him with some stiff blows to the body. He drives his smaller opponent into the ropes before grabbing him and whipping him across the ring. }
Terri Morasco: And they are off! TJ Alexander gets the first bit of offense going but Ram is quick to capitalize!
Vasco Diaz: Gotta stay aware in these types of matches though. RAM is quick to capitalize on it.
{ Ram is beckoning TJ on, perhaps ready to hit another burst of offense on TJ when Ozura recovers from the initial strike and runs in to lay a hard chop across RAM’s chest, leaving the young man wincing from the blow. The luchador lines up RAM on the ropes, looking for another chop across his chest, but TJ has rushed back across the ring, throwing his body on the line with a cross body that knocks all three men over the ropes to spill onto the outside. }
Terri Morasco: Oof. That had to hurt.
Vasco Diaz: Sometimes you just need to throw some guys outside the ring.
{As the three men got back to their feet, Ozura hit RAM with a high with an elbow, sending him stumbling backward into the barricade. TJ steps back, eyeing the men. RAM sends a hard knee into the stomach of Ozura. Ozura leans over, clutching his stomach. As Ozura begins to look up, finally catching his breath. RAM wastes no time, hitting him with a missile dropkick.}
Terri Morasco: Ozura recovering.
Vasco Diaz: Not that it matters, Ram is on a streak.
{ RAM raises his arms, to a chorus of boos. TJ has charged forward looking to gain the advantage on RAM, who immediately ducks the quick clothesline, as TJ goes forward rebounding off the barricade. RAM shows his athleticism and catches TJ in a beautifully executed suplex with a single leap. RAM slaps the ground, as he returns to his feet getting fired up even more. He picks up Ozura and tosses him into the ring then grabs TJ and tosses him into the ring. }
Terri Morasco: Back into the ring they go.
Vasco Diaz: Can’t win unless its in the ring. Don’t want another person complaining about an unfair loss.
{ Ozura has started to stir, lifting himself up, and clutching the side of his head. RAM has already turned his attention to Ozura, who staggers out of the corner. RAM using his athleticism and quickness, charges forward leaping up onto the turnbuckle, then turning his body just right to leap onto the top ring rope, spring boarding forward and hitting Ozura right in the skull with his 404 Error! }
Terri Morasco: Ouch.
Vasco Diaz: Ram is not letting up.
{ RAM picks himself up; in full momentum swing he motions his arms for Ozura to get up. Ozura stirs to his feet, but TJ turns RAM’s attention as he returns to his feet as well and is aiming The Game Changer at RAM, which RAM manages to side step just in a moment’s time, as it hits Ozura right under the jaw. RAM looks a bit stunned, a half cocky, half surprised smile on his face as he eyes TJ who immediately drops onto Ozura for the pin}
1 RAM PULLS TJ OFF!
Terri Morasco: Boo! TJ could have won the match here.
Vasco Diaz: Anything goes in a triple threat.
{ TJ quickly slaps RAM right in the face, spitting on him. RAM, wiping the spit off him, as TJ turns around, mocking the crowd. RAM looks seriously pissed off now, TJ turns around to catch a headbutt. }
Terri Morasco: A rough headbutt from Ram here.
Vasco Diaz: I’m sure TJ will recover quickly.
{ TJ staggers back, holding his eye as RAM advances, TJ immediately staggers into the ref, grabbing onto him to give him a little rest as RAM can’t strike TJ while the ref is a human shield. RAM is getting more, and more annoyed as the ref struggles to get out of TJ’s grip. RAM sets his hips, and hits a spinning roundhouse kick to the side of TJ’s head, narrowly missing the Referee, who falls down, his eyes clenched. TJ stumbles towards the corner, hanging on by a rope. }
Terri Morasco: A…interesting defense attempt by TJ.
Vasco Diaz: It was a close call but luckily the ref came out unhurt.
{ TJ staggers out, as RAM immediately sends a kick to the back, as TJ turns catching RAM with a Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker. Adding insult to injury, TJ drops RAM with a standing shooting Star press.}
Terri Morasco: TJ making a come back here.
Vasco Diaz: But will it be enough?
{Ozura comes up and hits TJ with a Russian leg sweep. RAM pulls himself back up and hits Ozura with a Meteorain and TJ with a Braver but TJ hits RAM in the throat with a kick.}
Terri Morasco: Ram not going down easy.
Vasco Diaz: Who does these days?
-RAM Wins-
{RAM gets back to his feet taking advantage of TJ’s distracting hitting him with MARSHALL LAW. Then RAM gives the signal, he fires off a series of fourteen consecutive punches and kicks to various parts of an Ozura’s body; he then ends the combination with a Cutthroat torture rack turned into a fallaway slam}
Terri Morasco: Omnislash!
Vasco Diaz: This could be it.
{RAM goes for the cover on Ozura}
1 2 3!!
Alison Valance: Your winner and advancing to the World TV title shot… RAM!
Terri Morasco: Ram moves on to knight two of night of the immortals.
Vasco Diaz: I’m sure he’s thrilled about that.
{As RAM’s theme plays loudly from the speakers as TJ stands up tall, grinning from ear to ear at his victory. TJ gets up off the mat and goes to make a run at RAM during his victory hitting him with a GAME OVER! Security is running down the ramp as we cut to commercial.}
—--------------------------------------------- SEGMENT "May the best man win." —---------------------------------------------
{Ella Kelley hurried through the bustling backstage area, weaving through the maze of cables, equipment, and crew members with the cameraperson rushing behind her. The air was electric with the anticipation of the upcoming matches for Night of the Immortals, and the tension was palpable. She had one goal: to get an interview with the current World Champion, Dean Harper, before his highly anticipated match against his estranged husband, Warren Harper.
Dean Harper stood out among the chaos, his presence commanding the space. Ella spotted him near his locker room, alone. She quickened her pace, her heels clicking on the concrete floor. Tall and imposing, with a steely determination in his eyes, he was walking in much closer to his match time than people expected wearing a sheer corset vest and leather pants, face paint already applied and the gym bag with his ring attire slung casually over his shoulder.}
Ella Keeley: "Dean! Dean Harper!"
{Dean turned, his gaze locking onto Ella's as he stepped toward her.}
Dean Harper: "What can I do for you?"
Elle Keeley: "Dean, thank you for your time," {Ella began, catching her breath.} "The fans are dying to hear from you before this monumental match. How are you feeling going into this bout against Warren specifically after the promo he delivered that seemed to hint at a reconnection?"
{Dean's expression looked conflicted before it hardened}
Dean Harper: "It's a lot more than just a match for me, Ella. There's a lot of history and emotion wrapped up in this one. But at the end of the day, I have a job to do. I have to defend my title and prove why I'm the World Champion. If Warren wants it so bad he can fucking earn it."
{Ella nodded, sensing the gravity of the situation.}
Ella Kelley: "There's been a lot of speculation about how personal this match is. How are you balancing those emotions with your professional responsibilities?"
{Dean took a deep breath, his eyes momentarily drifting to the floor before meeting hers again.}
Dean Harper: "It's not easy, I'll tell you that. But I've trained my entire life for moments like this. It's about focus and discipline. I bait all my opponents to react. Regardless of personal feelings and regrets."
{The word ‘regrets’ is barely whispered as Dean seems suddenly taken by someone just off camera. Ella follows Dean’s gaze and the camera pans over to show Warren Harper, uncharacteristically dressed in scarlet wrestling trunks with ‘HARPER’ written in bold gold font across his backside and matching scarlet shin guards and boots. Black elbow and knee pads compliment the black tape used to secure his wedding ring in place on his finger where it belonged.}
Warren Harper: Not interrupting anything, am I Sweetness?
{Dean seems completely caught off guard and swallows.}
Dean Harper: “I was just talking about the match.”
{Warren seems completely fixated on Dean for several moments, before Warren grabs Dean by the back of his head, leans in.}
Warren Harper: Oh right, the match, I can’t wait…
{Warren plants a full and passionate kiss on Dean’s lips that lasts several seconds, Ella has to look away. Warren finally breaks it, breathless.}
Warren Harper: For luck, you’re going to need it…
{Warren offers a flirtatious smirk before releasing Dean, and he winks at Ella before leaving them to finish their interview. Dean seems unfocused for a couple of seconds.}
Ella Keeley: "Uh… Dean?”
Dean Harper: “You were…saying.”
Ella Keeley: “What do you want your fans and, more importantly, your opponent to know before you step into that ring?"
{Dean shakes his head to clear his thoughts, jaw tightened, and he leaned in slightly, his intensity unmistakable.}
Dean Harper: "I want them to know that I'm here to fight. No matter what happens, I'm going to give it everything I've got. And to my opponent—" {he paused, the weight of his words heavy with either anger or something else,} "—he knows what this means to both of us. May the best man win."
{Ella nodded, understanding the significance of his words.}
Ella Kelley: "Thank you, Dean. Good luck tonight."
{Dean gave her a curt nod and turned back to his locker room. Ella watched him for a moment before looking back at the camera motioning for him to cut.}

![](https://i.imgur.com/hH8IVDR.jpeg) —--------------------------------------------- MAIN EVENT IWF MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH 4000 Word Limit Dean Harper (c) vs. Warren Harper —---------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Terri Morasco: I think we have all been waiting for this match all night.
Vasco Dias: I certainly have.
{The opening riff of “CASUALTY” by MOTHICA blares through the arena as the crowd gives off a mixed reaction. This is accompanied by shots on the Imperitron of Dean and Warren holding hands and kissing. The smarter fans are thrown back a few years to the FSK days, when Warren and Dean were a formidable tag team. A record scratch just before the lyrics kick in causes the arena lights to change, flickering purple briefly. The song switches to Warren’s regular theme as the images on the Imperialtron are replaced by Warren solo.}
”Mirror Mirror on the wall Show me truth or none at all Break the glass and walk away I’m done with everything.”
{The lights settle on a softer, more stable yellow in time with the opening drums and guitar riff of “Done With Everything” by Line So Thin. The crowd is divided for Warren Harper as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket and scarlet trunks, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face.
He then heads towards the ring, solely focused on his own business in that ring. At the edge of the ring, he closes his eyes and takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, walking along it, and climbing the turnbuckle.
He then perches himself on the corner, head bowed towards the canvas, eyes closed. He takes a series of slow deep breaths, relaxing himself in a brief meditation almost. Warren finally raises his head, no longer looking down on anything, but ahead. He slowly opens his eyes and relaxes, smiling again.
The music slowly fades away and the lights return to normal as he hops down into the ring and waits in the corner. A true fighter and sportsman unlike so many in this business and in his bloodline before him. Warren was a much better man, he just had to hold onto that belief..}
Alison Valance: First the challenger, the Winner of the Roulette 2024, Warren Harper.
Vasco Dias: You can feel the chill in the air. Electric. Warren won the Roulette and called his shot for months.
Terri Morasco: Warren Harper is a spectacle, a once-in-a-lifetime athlete.
Vasco Dias: I’m not going to pretend Warren Harper isn’t talented but compared to Dean Harper, I’m not sure I’d be calling Warren the once-in-a-lifetime talent.
{The crowd grows silent as the lights go out as the beginning of Freak Flag gets louder the stage area starts to fill with smoke. Suddenly, and abruptly as the drums and guitars kick in a pyro explodes around the stage.}
“We're taught to be like them Taught to know our place We kept the pace but we're done pretending We'll fall blindly through the fairy tale endings"
{Pyro explodes on either side of the rampway as Dean Harper appears through the red-tinted smoke. He stands with his arms outstretched, fists balled up soaking in the reaction from the crowd before walking down to the ring slowly. He jumps up onto the apron before springing on the bottom rope into the ring. Once in the center of the ring, he spreads his arms wide as he soaks in the red flashing lights before lifting his head sharply, kicking back the hood to show his face, nodding in rhythm to the music as he slowly breaks into a wicked grin. After a few moments, he turns and settles into his corner, tossing his hood and jacket to ringside.}
Alison Valance: To my left he is the reigning, defended IWF Imperial Champion… … Dean! Harper!
{Dean holds the Imperial Championship up over his head to a huge pop from the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: This is it.
Vasco Dias: We’re about to see hell on earth.
{The referee takes the belt from Dean and shows it to Warren before passing it off to the timekeeper. The referee checks that both men are ready and each nods slowly before the bell is rung!}
Vasco Dias: IT HAS BEGUN!!!
{Warren immediately begins to move out of his corner but Dean stays still in his corner.}
Terri Morasco: What’s Dean doing?
Vasco Dias: I wish I knew.
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure that’s a good idea.
{Warren drops his hands as he watches Harper just stand there. Warren nods, understanding what Dean wants, and walks straight at him. The microphone picks up a bit of the conversation, ‘Fucking with me or are you serious?’ Dean seems to ask, ‘I could ask you the same, Sweetheart’, came the reply.’ Dean laughs, a little manic. Warren begins to step closer and Dean takes off like a bullet and leaps Step up Enzurgiri!}
Terri Morasco: whelp, I think couple’s counseling would be healthier.
Vasco Dias: You know how Kanes are.
{Dean pulls Warren out of the apron and onto the floor then quickly hip tosses Warren with everything he’s got into the ring post making sure Warren connects with the back of his neck first before falling hard onto the arena floor.}
Vasco Dias: Dean is on the attack and will not let up.
Terri Morasco: We’re two moves in and I already fear for the condition of Warren’s neck!
Vasco Dias: Well, Warren wants to earn this win, doesn’t he?
{Dean marches down the side of the ring and grabs the top half of the steel steps, he flings them off then grabs the bottom half of the steps and drags them halfway back down the side of the ring. Warren is pulling himself up as Dean comes back with a running knee lift. Dean takes his estranged husband by the back of the neck and walks him over to the ring steps. Dean looks to be setting up Clipped Wings but Warren muscles out of it and picks Dean up with a TRAUMA RESPONSE ONTO THE STEPS!}
Terri Morasco: Warren with the right reversal at the right time.
Vasco Dias: Warren saw an opening and he took it!
{Warren pulls Dean up to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Harper tries to get up as fast as he can but Warren is right in there. Dean throws a kick but Warren grabs him for a Double Underhook Backbreaker! Dean attempts to get up again but Warren grabs him for a second Double Underhook Backbreaker. Both men stand again and Warren hits Dean with another Double Underhook Backbreaker. This time Warren holds on and transitions into a heel hook while also twisting his body to wrench on Dean’s right knee.}
Terri Morasco: Harper is transitioning into some shoot wrestling here.
Vasco Dias: Warren has an extensive wrestling background, he’s trained with some of the best to lace up a pair of boots and I bet he’s thinking if Dean is going to target a body part then I’m going to target one too. Playing Dean at his own game. Some would say that’s been the story of this whole feud.
Terri Morasco: And focusing on the knee of Harper is incredibly smart. Most of Dean’s moves require him to do his flippy stuff and it’s hard to make that stick if you can’t trust your landings and taking that leg out will limit Dean greatly.
Vasco Dias: Absolutely Terri.
{Dean is resisting the pain as Warren continues to wrench. Eventually, Warren lets him go, stands up then wraps Dean up into a figure four!}
Terri Morasco: Warren changing the angle here, making sure to rip and tear at the ligaments that hold Dean’s knee together.
Vasco Dias: I’m impressed, I knew this match would be heavy-hitting but both men went right into it.
Terri Morasco: It goes to show you how important the Championship is to both of them.
Vasco Dias: Or Warren is showing Dean how well he knows him. Better than anybody else on the roster.
{Warren wrenches some more before getting up to his feet and letting Dean go. Dean tries to roll back out of the ring but Warren connects with a stomp to the knee and then pulls Dean up. Warren says something to Dean before connecting with a huge gutwrench backbreaker!}
Terri Morasco: Warren moving from the leg to the spine!
Vasco Dias: Warren loves him a good backbreaker.
{Warren goes for the cover
ONE
but Dean kicks out at one!
Warren pulls Dean back up and sends him into the corner of the ring with an Irish whip. Warren runs in looking for the The Last Breath but runs into a spinning back fist from Dean! Warren staggers and Dean hits him with a running kneelift into a hangman’s neckbreakerr!}
Vasco Dias: God right back on the neck of Warren Harper!
Terri Morasco: But what condition is Dean’s right knee in right now?
Vasco Dias: Good enough condition for that neck breaker!
{Dean seems to be favoring his right leg as he gets back up. Warren isn’t willing to slow down but Dean is right there and this time he grabs and lands Clipped Wings on Warren Harper right in the center of the ring. Dean rolls Warren over for a cover.}
ONE! KICK OUT!
Terri Morasco: Not even a two count for Dean!
Vasco Dias: Warren isn’t going to go down that easy!
{Dean stands up with Warren Harper in his arms. Dean fires off several rapid-fire hand strikes before looking for a spinning heel kick that Warren manages to grab for an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker! Dean is up and Warren comes right in but Dean grabs Warren for a Snap belly-to-belly suplex into the turnbuckles!}
Terri Morasco: Warren hit another backbreaker but Dean is right back on him!
Vasco Dias: Both had well timed counters!
{Dean casually moves to stand above Warren, hands behind his back, ‘Don’t just lay there lover, here let me help you up’. t then he grabs Warren and turns him into Oathbreaker position! Warren blocks it and then lifts Dean up and over for a nasty backdrop onto the mat, Dean’s leg landing and bending awkwardly over the bottom rope!}
Vasco Dias: Sick reversal into the back drop!
{Warren falls forward and grabs the ropes, he reaches for his neck and then grimaces through the pain as he turns his attention back to his husband. Dean is trying to crawl to the apron but Warren comes in with a knee drop on the back of Dean’s right knee. Warren then grabs Dean for a Conversion Therapy and starts to wrench on that knee again as hard as he possibly can.}
Terri Morasco: Warren definitely starting to show the wear of the match on his neck.
Vasco Dias: That’s not going to slow Warren down, he wants this too much!
{For the first time Dean lets out an audible yell as he claws for the ropes. Warren has Dean’s body torqued so that the pressure is not just on his knee but his back and neck as well.}
Vasco Dias: Warren might be looking for a submission!
Terri Morasco: I was worried about Warren at the start of this match but the fear was completely unfounded. There is a reason Warren has been in this company for so long.
{Dean finally claws his way to the ropes but there are no rope breaks as Warren continues to torque him. The referee keeps asking if Dean submits but he shakes his head and says no. Eventually, Warren lets Dean go and then pulls Dean back up to his feet and hits a quick London Calling! Dean is down and Warren rolls his legs up for the cover.}
ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!
Vasco Dias: Dean isn’t giving up and he isn’t going down.
Terri Morasco: Neither is Warren Harper!
{Warren gets up to his feet but Dean rolls out onto the apron. Warren follows Harper and reaches through the second rope but Harper grabs Warren by the head and then chokes him over the rope! Warren is fighting to break free as Dean uses his body weight against Warren to continue choking him.}
Terri Morasco: Dean is back at the neck and depriving Warren of oxygen!
{‘Harder, Daddy,’ Warren lets out, choking on his laughter. Shocked, Dean suddenly lets go, takes a half step back before he pulls himself up on the ropes as Warren takes a moment to regain his breath. Dean hits a football kick to the back of Warren’s head and then pulls Warren through the ropes and sets him down on the mat. Dean backs off and rushes in with a running kneelift into a hangman’s neckbreaker.}
Vasco Dias: What a devastating neckbreaker!
Terri Morasco: Jesus, I don’t even know what to say.
Vasco Dias: That was nasty.
{Dean struggles to stand on the floor, his knee bothering him at this point in the match. He shakes it off as Warren is starting to stand when Dean grabs him but Harper comes back to life with an overhead belly to belly suplex sending Dean off the apron and through the barricade of the front row!!!}
Terri Morasco: Holy hell! Warren taking control with that belly to belly!
Vasco Dias: That was incredible.
Terri Morasco: Warren needs to get Dean back inside the ring and cover him!
Vasco Dias: Warren has a golden opportunity right here.
{Warren exits the ring and pulls Dean out of the rubble but he doesn’t throw him back into the ring, instead Warren goes for the Teardrop Suplex on the arena floor and connects with three Kidd Kicks! Warren pulls Dean up to his feet hits him with a snap Slingshot DDT into the ring apron!}
Terri Morasco: Warren looking to punish the spine of Dean now!
Vasco Dias: I’m not sure it’s smart to take his focus off that leg. Warren has a good chance at submitting Dean.
Terri Morasco: I agree.
{Warren rolls Harper back into the ring and pulls him up fast for the The Last Breath! Dean is down and Warren covers him.}
ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!
Vasco Dias: Another close two count for Warren!
{Warren stands back up, determined not to get flustered by his apparent inability to keep the Champion down long enough for it to matter. Dean starts to get up but he’s slow and he’s favoring his right leg, Harper comes right in with Jumping Knee and transitions into the kneebar with a heel hook!}
Terri Morasco: Christ! Warren is going to rip Dean’s knee apart!
Vasco Dias: He went off the game plan but Warren has gone right back to the knee.
Terri Morasco: It’s a smart tactic and Warren may get a submission out of it.
{Dean is fighting as hard as he can but there is nowhere to go, no rope breaks, the pain on his painted face is evident and finally manages to twist slightly to kick Warren in the head to break the hold.}
Terri Morasco: Dean was close to tapping!
Vasco Dias: That’d be a first. He never has before!
{Staying in the hold so long clearly makes it hard for Dean to stand and Warren doesn’t wait, he grabs Dean and pulls him right up for the TRAUMA RESPONSE!!!}
Terri Morasco: TRAUMA RESPONSE!!!!
Vasco Dias: This could be it for Dean!
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure how he can come back from this!
{The referee starts his ten count as Warren staggers into the corner of the ring and waits a second.}
ONE! TWO! THREE!
{Dean hasn’t moved yet.}
FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
{Not even a finger twitches.}
SEVEN! EIGHT!
{Paranoid that Dean was looking for an easy way to give Warren what he asked for without truly being beaten, ‘Not this way, Sweetie,’ he whispered.Warren picks Dean up ending the count, tossing him across the ring into the ropes, Dean seems to shake himself awake, testing his leg but clearly is still fucked.}
Terri Morasco: I don’t believe it.
Vasco Dias: Believe it.
{Warren comes rushing towards Dean who reflexively hits Warren with a Reality Break but ends less than graceful trying to put weight on his leg again. Giving Warren and chance to get back to his feet. Warren explodes with a European upper cut, then another and another until he drives Dean back into the corner of the ring. Warren hits a number of WMKs then circles out of the corner shaking his fists before turning around right into another DANCE THE SPIRAL!!! Warren goes down and Harper quickly rolls up both his legs in a cover.}
ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!!!
Terri Morasco: Warren kicked out!
Vasco Dias: There is no way!
{Dean stands up now over Warren, his knee seems to buckle for a moment but he hits himself in the face. Warren’s eyes look glazed over before he starts to stir. Warren rolls over onto his stomach and starts to push himself up. Dean hits Warren with a CURBSTOMP with his bad leg letting out a guttural sound of pain but Dean goes for another cover.}
ONE! TWO! KICK OUT!
Vasco Dias: WHAT!!! Warren kicked out of the Curbstomp!?
Terri Morasco: Un freaking believable. How are either of these men still going?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea. This is insane.
{Warren very slowly stands up, he looks a little annoyed. Dean reaches up and pulls himself up by the ropes but once he’s back on his feet Warren fires off a super kick and Dean goes straight down! ‘Why do you always have to do this the hard way, lover?’ Warren seems to ask as he stands over Dean.}
Vasco Dias: I’m at a loss for words right now. How either of them are still moving is beyond me.
–Warren wins–
{Dean fires off a nasty strike to Warren’s knee. Warren hits an Overhead Kick to Dean’s knee. Dean screams. Warren picks Dean up and gets him locked into the submission move he calls Conversion Therapy, putting all the pressure on Dean’s knee. Dean has nowhere to go and the pain is much worse than thought as the ref seems to signal for the medical team but doesn’t stop the match.}
Vasco Dias: Tap out! Tap out! Save yourself!
Terri Morasco: Harper has nowhere to go, he’s trapped and I don’t think he can survive much longer!
Vasco Dias: I’m afraid I agree with you.
{Dean shuts his eyes tight and TAPS OUT, his first time in his career. The ref signals the bell. Warren doesn’t let go right away until-}
Alison Valance: The WINNER AND YOUR NEW WORLD CHAMPION WARREN HARPER!
{Warren drops the hold blinking as confetti rains from the ceiling and the ref quickly hands Warren the world title belt as "Done With Everything” by Line So Thin plays loudly over the PA. Warren looks back at the mat where medical is already grabbing Dean and dragging him out of the ring. The last shot of Night of the Immortals Night One is Warren Harper holding the gold close to his chest while Dean is checked upon, his legs seemingly having given out completely. Dean had absolutely made Warren earn his historic submission victory.} —---------------------------------------------
