SEGMENT
“Awesome Informed”

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

{ Pyros shoot off everywhere and we go to commentary with Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias. }

Vasco Dias: Hello everyone and welcome to the last Sacrifice before Survival of the Fittest comes to you live on pay per view.

Terri Morasco: Tensions are running high as we gear up for the big event. But first we got one more Sacrifice to go.

Vasco Dias: Let’s get to our first mat-

“REGRETS IVE GOT MINEEEEE!”

{ The crowd gets on their feet as Full of Regret by Danko Jones plays over the speakers and Steve Awesome comes out onto the ramp dressed in his street clothes and of course a pair of aviators sunglasses. }

Terri Morasco: Well it looks like Steve Awesome is going to be joining us tonight. I’m not upset with this Vasco, and neither is this sold out crowd.

Vasco Dias: They are chanting his name and he hasn’t even done anything yet.

Terri Morasco: He’s an entertainer, Vasco. People get excited when he shows up. Myself included.

Vasco Dias: We’re going to have to throw that chair away aren’t we…..

{ Steve walks down to ring side and tells the time keeper to move , throws not one but two steel chairs into the ring, grabs a microphone and climbs into the ring, unfolds and sets up both chairs next to each other as his music slowly fades. }

Steve Awesome: Okay I know we’re supposed to be having Sacrifice right now, but as of this moment…..I’m currently taking it over! As far as I’m concerned Sacrifice is officially cancelled and it isn’t coming back until I say so!”

{ Awesome hops out of the ring and grabs a sign from under the ring that says “Awesomely Informed” on then he sets up in the corner and takes a seat on one of the chairs and puts his feet up on the other one as the crowd cheers. }

Vasco Dias: What does he mean by that? He can’t do that Terri!

Terri Morasco: I know he can’t, but it looks like he’s doing it anyway.

Steve Awesome: You see, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve developed a few burning questions that I’d really like to get an answer too. And I’ve tried to get these answers on my own time without wasting you peoples but that didn’t work out so I figure the next best thing to do would be to hit him where it hurts…..

{ Steve shoots up from the chair and walks over to the ropes facing the entrance ramp. }

Steve Awesome: ROBERTO VERONA!

{ The crowd pops again as Steve calls out the boss. }

Steve Awesome: I have your show boss man. Tonight it isn’t Sacrifice. Tonight it’s a brand new episode of a little show I used to host called Awesomely Informed and were doing it LIVE right here tonight. We are going to get some answers. Roberto you are my next guest, come on out here I got some things I want to say to you.

Vasco Dias: Steve Awesome is calling out the boss? Is he crazy?

Terri Morasco: I think he might be.

{ Steve and everyone waits for Verona’s music to play but after about a minute of nothing everyone gives up on the thought. Steve just shakes his head. }

Steve Awesome: I figured you wouldn’t come out here. But I know you’re in the back listening. So I’m just going to get a few things off my chest since I have a whole two hour cable block all to myself tonight. Hell, at some point in the show I may even take my pants off!”

{ Steve smiles as all the girls in the audience cheer. }

Vasco Dias: This is a family show!

Terri Morasco: Put the kids to bed folks…..

Steve Awesome: Ever since I came back to this company it seems like every time I turn around I find Roberto Verona telling me what I can and can’t do or what I do or don’t deserve. Granted, maybe I don’t automatically deserve a shot at the Imperial Championship, but this all seems to go beyond a title shot these days. After the way Roberto has consistently been a huge douche bag, taking away my pyro, taking away and canceling my travel plans that were supposed to be paid for by the company, and really searching in the fine print of my contract on ways to try and screw me, it has made me think that Roberto Verona has a problem with me. And if he does have a problem with me then hear I am…..standing in the middle of his ring, taking over his show, calling HIM OUT….and I’m not going anywhere until he comes and meets me face to face like a man.”

{ Everybody oohs. }

Vasco Dias: This could get ugly Terri.

Terri Morasco: What’s this?

{ Terri is referring to Roberto Verona walking down to the ring with a few security guards. You can hear his directing orders. }

Roberto Verona: Shut him down and then escort him off the premises.

{ The security come down to the ring and get inside the ring with Roberto who finally stands face to face with Steve Awesome in the middle of the ring. He has a mic. }

Roberto Verona: You know what Steve…..I do. I do have a problem with you. You know why? Because you think that you can do and say whatever you want to do. You think that you get to dictate what happens in your career and that the rules just don’t apply to you because you held a privileged position in the past. Just last week you threw a party in my office and ruined my personal belongings. Who in the hell do you think you are?

{ Steve just flashes that cocky grin. }

Steve Awesome: I’m the Face of the Franchise baby.

{ The crowd cheers and starts chanting Awesome. }

Roberto Verona: And that’s another thing Steve. You claim to be the Face of the Franchise and you’ve only been back for what four weeks? You WERE the Face….of the Franchise this company PURCHASED! A company I dominated whilst you sat at home, giving it a much needed facelift. You are NOT, and never shall be, the face of MY franchise.”

{ Awesome steps forward and Steve and Roberto get face to face and nose to nose. Steve is mouthing off talking about how he could prove it to Roberto right there in the ring what he was about but Verona just steps away and rolls his eyes. }

Roberto Verona: Steven…..look at you. You’ve come out here and hijacked my show, stole precious time from the cable network and other performers, and have been a huge pain in my arse for weeks…. do you really think I give you the privilege of interviewing me? I wouldn't appear on your repugnant show which is just a dying star's cry for attention if you paid me all of the money in the world. Wiping that smug grin off of your face however, if you really want to see what I will do to the "Face of the Franchise", book yourself a plane ticket to Madison Square Garden and I'll make you wish you never crawled back out of Leonard's ass. Security…. I want this charade shut down and Steve Awesome escorted to his vehicle.

{ The security grabs Steve and then one moves the chairs and the last one grabs the sign and goes to rip it and you can hear Steve say “Do not rip my sign bro”. The guard listens and puts it back but Roberto tells him to rip it anyway and the guard does so and tears it in half wich sends Steve off the deep end and he starts fighting with the security team. }

Vasco Dias: Steve just hit that guard with an elbow!

Terri Morasco: He’s actually winning against them!

{ He gets a decent advantage before more security hit the ring and grab Steve and escort him away as Verona stands in the ring and laughs as we cut to commercial. }

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

TAG TEAM MATCH
The House of Rapture w//Rapture vs Hugs and Stitches

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

{"Twist" by Korn hits as The House of Rapture makes their way down to the ring led by Rapture himself.}

Terri Morasco: The house of rapture they look interesting.

Vasco Dias: Looks aren't everything terri

{Mr Happy by ICP plays as they come to the ring}

Terri Morasco: Hugs and stitches out to the ring..the tag diviision really has grown

Vasco Dias: Agreed

{Malik and Warren start off the match and Malik runs across the ring and flattens Warren. He pulls warren up and snap slams him down before stomping warren in the back of the head. Malik moves around and then spins hitting Mr Happy with a cheap shot, Happy tries to get in the ring and the referee stops him, while this happens Valentyn gets in the ring with no tag and he and Malik pick warren up with a double flapjack, Mali slides from the ring and the referee turns around and assumes the tag was made. Valentyn measures up warren and as he gets to his feet Valentyn launches himself at him with a jumping calf kick.}

Terri Morasco: Dominant display thus far.

Vasco Dias: these two look like a pair of violent thugs.

{Valentyn stomps Warren down and then stops to flip off the crowd getting boo's. He pulls Warren up and holds him just out of Mr Hapy's reach teasing the tag, Valentyn then laughs and spins warren around hitting a cutter. Bundy then climbs to the top rope in his own corner, Malik tags his partner and then Valentyn leaps off with his shooting star dropkick to warren, he lands and rolls from the ring allowing Malik to take over 1...2....Mr Happy breaks it up, Happy gets shoved back into the corner and Malik picks up Warren hitting his blessed arrow backbreaker.}

Vasco Dias: Malik looks like a bad ass

Terri Morasco: I like a man with tattoos who looks like he can handle himself..

{Malik walks around the ring and teases happy again before locking Warren in a camel clutch, Warren fights out of it and gets to his feet, he leaps up and hits a dropkick sending malik down, he starts to crawl over to happy reaching with his fingertips and gets the tag!. But Valentyn had the referee distracted!, he turns around and tells happy to get out of the ring cause he didn't see the tag!}

Vasco Dias: Wow tag team wrestling at it's finest!

Terri Morasco: Not exactly fair....

{Valentyn jumps in the ring and he and he and malik his the desecration (elevated fameasser) Malik makes the in 1....2....3}

Terri Morasco: We have just seen a new team show us they could make a run at the rebellions tag team titles

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

SEGMENT
"Sacrifice"

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

{ The arena is buzzing as IWF Sacrifice returns. The camera pans around the arena as all the fans cheer wildly, signs being raised before the camera pans around to Vasco Dias and Terri Morassco. }

Terri Morasco: Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to the penultimate edition of IWF’s Sacrifice and we are just one week away from Survival of the Fittest where every singles champion is set to defend their championships in the Extinction Event!

Vasco Dias: And it’s quite a stack show we have tonight, with the Gladiators Finale, the final Extinction Event qualifier and even the Man of Steel Championship being defended…..between Empire members!

{ Just then the arena darkens and the sound system blasts to life with Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail to the King” and the Imperial Champion walks through the curtain and out to the stage with a huge chorus of boo’s. Spike sneers back at the fans, as he heads to the ring with the Imperial Championship slung over his shoulder. He climbs into the ring, a microphone in hand and simply sneers at the fans before bringing the mic up to his mouth. }

Spike Kane: So, I bet you’re all quite happy right now. That finally the tag team championships have been taken from InFamous and are now around the waists of an inferior tag team. The “Rebellion” ooh, witty name their boys. For the first time since I took over this company a truly devastating blow was sent to my Empire, and it was my fault. Not one of my knights who stand by my side and do my bidding without question…….but me. I cost us the match, and I will take the blame for it. Which is why I am here to promise to you all that I will have vengeance, and I will make an example of those who stand across from me.

{ The crowd are booing Spike and shouting about how he lost, a few chants of The Rebellion can be heard, but Spike for all it’s worth ignore them. }

Spike Kane: Instead you should be showering me with respect….I am the champion who has defended the most championships in this company to date. Being forced to defend my Imperial Championship and my tag team championships week after week!? And then….when I actually defeat Rob Diamond, with the stipulation that Rob can never challenge for my title again….he manages to wriggle his god damn way into the Extinction Event….well, a qualifier at least. How is this fair exactly? You all jeer me and talk about how horrible a person I am…..yet when Alex Jones, Rob Diamond, Davey Ortega, Mike Laszlo, and Xavier Cross all stand opposite me…..all try and get in my way and LEECH OFF OF MY FAME! …..I’m the bad guy? Puh-lease you maggots. I am the best damn thing that has ever happened to this company, and nobody…...NOBODY! Will be able to stop me…...not even the judas who stabbed me in the ba-

{ Spike is cut off as Mama Said Knock You Out sends the fans into an uproar, Rob Diamond steps out onto the ramp and they go nuts. Rob heads down to the ring, his half of the tag team championship over his shoulder as he walks up the steps in hops in the ring, mic in hand. }

Rob Diamond: Spike, do me a favor and SHUT THE HELL UP!

{ The crowd chants it along with him. }

Rob Diamond: Week after week it’s been the same damn thing, you coming out here and stroking your own damn ego. WE GET IT! You’re the Imperial Champion and you lead a stable of guys we spent the first five months of this company’s existence beating the hell out of, awesome. But riddle me this Spike, what happens at Survival of the Fittest when Team Ortega, as it’s been called, takes not one… Not two… Not even three… BUT ALL FOUR OF THE EMPIRES TITLES!?

{ The crowd cheers hard for that as Spike glares at Rob. }

Spike Kane: What’s going to happen? That’s the thing Rob, it’s NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Survival of the Fittest is a full week away so what the hell makes you think you or any of your Rebellion are even going to make it?

{ Spike gets right in Rob’s face. }

Rob Diamond: You wanna go bitch? Let’s go right now.

{ Spike laughs mockingly at Rob before gripping him by the shoulder, Rob reaches up and removes Spike’s hand and the two get nose to nose. }

Spike Kane: Let me put it like this… They call the show Sacrifice for a reason.

{ With that Spike drops the mic on the mat, he and Rob are nose to nose before Spike brushes past Rob and exits the ring much to the ire of the crowd. Rob watches him go, thinking over what Spike just said. }

Vasco Dias: They call the show Sacrifice for a reason? That doesn’t sound good Terri.

Terri Morasco: Not in the least, what the heck does Spike have planned?

{ We are left with that question as we head to our first commercial break. }

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

SEGMENT
“Just getting started…”

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

{ We get a picture from high above the arena on the thousands of fans that have packed the arena. Before the announcers can welcome us back to the show that is going to be packed with action, “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour blares over the speakers as the crowd erupts. }

Terri Morasco: Well ladies and gentlemen, if you couldn’t tell, this is IWF Sacrifice and here comes Mike Laszlo.

{ Mike walks out onto the stage holding a clipboard with some paperwork on it in his hand. All that can be made out from the paperwork is the big IWF logo atop the page. Mike raises the clipboard in the air, garnering applause from the jam packed audience as he makes his way down to the ring. }

Terri Morasco: I can only imagine what’s in Mike’s hand.

Vasco Dias: With the way this man has been thinking as of late, it could be any number of things.

Terri Morasco: That’s true. He and Cable Arcane literally beat each other all over this arena last week from the parking lot, to the halls, into the ring, and right back out again. These two need to settle their differences once and for all.

Vasco Dias: Don’t forget, Mike is also trying to qualify for the Extinction Event later tonight against Rob Diamond as well.

{ Mike climbs up on the apron and enters through the ropes before stepping up on the second turnbuckle and posing for the crowd who greet him with a raucous roar. }

Terri Morasco: He really has become a fan favorite of late.

Vasco Dias: He said he wasn’t going to lie to the people and I think they can respect that.

{ Mike goes to the other side of the ring and signals for a chair which is brought to him in a timely fashion. He takes it and simply tosses it over his head into the center of the ring. He then asks for a microphone. }

Terri Morasco: Seems like he has something to say.

Vasco Dias: Very observant.

{ Mike takes the microphone and walks to the center of the ring before looking out to the crowd as the music dies down. The cheers soon follow as Mike raises the microphone to his lips. }

Mike Laszlo: What a way to get our night going!

{ The crowd lets out a roar again as they notice that they don’t go unnoticed. }

Mike Laszlo: That’s right, you deserve that. As a matter of fact, there’s a few people around here who deserve some things and I want to point those people out right here and now because I feel that it is unjust that they too aren’t recognized.

Vasco Dias: What the hell is he talking about?

Terri Morasco: Maybe if you stop talking he’ll tell you.

Mike Laszlo: One man in particular is the man I face tonight, Rob Diamond. You deserve applause for the “rebellion” no pun intended, you have put up against the Empire. They wanted to take this place over and make it their own and while that still could happen, me being a betting man, says it won’t and you’re a part of that.

{ The crowd shows their approval of Rob and his antics against the Rebellion. }

Mike Laszlo: The other man who deserves something tonight is the Imperial Champion and leader of the Empire…Spike Kane.

{ The name alone receives the most heat of the young night by far. It can’t help but be said that the people just don’t like him. }

Mike Laszlo: I know, he’s not very popular right now, but he too deserves something…a foot in the ass.

{ Mike smiles as the crowd approves with cheers and laughter. }

Mike Laszlo: I don’t care how many people you surround yourself with in this ring and out of it Spike, your day will come and it will be sooner rather than later.

{ A “Kick His Ass” chant starts up and catches fire before dying out a few minutes later. }

Mike Laszlo: The man who deserves something the most though is Cable Arcane.

{ Again there’s boos and another “Kick His Ass” Chant. }

Mike Laszlo: Cable, for the last few weeks now, both verbally and physically, we’ve assaulted each other and beaten the hell out of each other, and I for one wouldn’t have it any other way. We don’t settle scores with a debate here in the IWF. No, here in the Imperial Wrestling Federation, we take care of matters like they did in the old days…we fight!

{ The crowd cheers as Laszlo nods. Mike then holds the clipboard in the air. }

Mike Laszlo: And that’s why I have this. You’re all probably wondering what this is. It’s a contract…FOR A MATCH! A match at the Survival of the Fittest.

Terri Morasco: Bold move here.

Vasco Dias: He’s an idiot. He might already be booked.

{ Mike looks over at the commentary table and smiles pointing at Vasco. }

Vasco Dias: What the hell is he pointing at?

Terri Morasco: It would appear to be you.

Mike Laszlo: Now I know what you’re thinking Vasco, you crazy old man.

{ This visibly offends Vasco as the crowd start laughing at him. }

Mike Laszlo: You’re thinking that I’m stupid for doing this when I could be competing in the Extinction Event later on.

Terri Morasco: See? He heard you.

Vasco Dias: …

Mike Laszlo: Here in the IWF, our roster is made up of some of the most gifted athletes this professional field has ever seen. So why not give the fans what they want…me twice in one night. I’ll kick Cable’s ass and then I’ll go on to the Extinction Event and win a title too!

{ The crowd erupts as this is potentially huge. }

Mike Laszlo: With that said…I have a chair here…

{ Laszlo leans down and drops the contract on the ground before setting up the chair in the center of the ring before taking a seat in it. }

Mike Laszlo: And I’m not leaving this ring until Cable Arcane gets out here and signs his death warrant.

Terri Morasco: Bold words from Mike Laszlo who seems has taken over the show.

Vasco Dias: He’s got to move, we have a show to do.

Mike Laszlo: Come on Cable. As great as I am, these people want to see the rest of the talent too.

{ After a few moments of Laszlo sitting in the chair, doing things like twiddling his thumbs, jumping jacks, and even a bit of yo-yo to entertain the crowd, “Oh Death” by Jennifer Titus take hold of the PA system as the lights drop out. A single orange glow takes hold of the stage as Cable Arcane steps out onto the ramp, his face hidden by the hood of his jacket. Arcane makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans as he goes. Slowly he walks up the steps and climbs into the ring as the lights come on. Laszlo stays seated in the chair which he has moved back to the other side of the ring during Cable’s entrance. With one leg crossed over the other he smiles at the man who he has traded blows with over the last month. }

Mike Laszlo: It’s about time! I was starting to work up a sweat.

Cable looks on un-amused.

Mike Laszlo: Smile would you? I mean, did Spike Kane taking your face away with a fireball really scar you that bad?

{ Again Cable is unphased. }

Mike Laszlo: Whatever, I don’t have time for this. It’s really simple, which is good otherwise you wouldn’t understand. Sign this and we have a match at Survival of the Fittest.

{ Mike tosses the clipboard at the feet of Cable. Cable looks down at the papers and back up at Laszlo who motions for him to pick it up and sign it. }

Mike Laszlo: Come on. You can do it. Or did that fireball hit more than your face. Maybe Spike set your balls on fire too?

{ A big “OHHHHHH” goes throughout the arena as Cable looks around. He leans down and picks it up. He too then walks to the ropes which causes Laszlo to get up from his feet expecting a physical altercation. Instead, Cable grabs a microphone. }

Cable Arcane: How do I know this isn’t a trap?

Mike Laszlo: A trap? I’m the good guy. You’re supposed to trust me in my glowing innocence.

{ The crowd laughs as Cable looks annoyed. }

Mike Laszlo: Seriously. Does it matter what’s on that paper? I want to kick your ass at Survival of the Fittest, and I don’t even care that I might be logging double duty. Sign it so I can hurt you.

{ Cable glares up at Mike before taking the pen from his rival and signing the contract to the approval of the crowd. Cable then tosses the contract at Mike’s feet. }

Cable Arcane: You have it wrong Mike. I’m going to hurt you. I’ve put you out once, and this time…it will be for good. Know this though…tonight’s not over yet.

{ Cable drops the microphone as “Oh Death” hits the PA again. Cable turns his back and goes to leave the ring. Mike, not taking too kindly to the threat, folds the chair that he was sitting in and swings it at the back of Cable, knocking him to the floor at ringside sending a raging roar throughout the crowd. }

Vasco Dias: CHEAP SHOT!

Terri Morasco: He doesn’t take kindly to threats.

{ Cable gets to his feet as he backs up the ramp. Mike grabs his microphone again and stares down his opponent for Survival of the Fittest. }

Mike Laszlo: You’re right Cable, tonight’s not over yet. However, at Survival of the Fittest, we’re going to have ourselves and old fashion STREET FIGHT!

{ The crowd burst into frenzy at the announcement as Laszlo holds the chair in the air and “Cult of Personality” plays over the speakers. The feed then cuts to commercial. }

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

GLADIATORS FINALE

Michael Moretta vs Malaki Toala

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

Vasco Dias: Here wo go Terri, we’ve reached the finale of Gladiators Season One, and we’re set to go with Moretta vs Toala!

Terri Morasco: It’s been an interesting ride so far, but tonight is where they lay it all one the line. Only one man can walk out the victor and claim that awesome prize!

{ The two men stand opposite each other, very aware of the stakes that have been set before them. Neither man wants to shake hands, but you can see that there is a measure of respect between the two people. They start to inch towards each other, before they collide in the middle of the ring, an explosion of power as they do so. A test of strength begins and for the instance neither man seems to gain the advantage.}

Vasco Dias: These two are going to tear each other apart!

{ Malaki manages to get the advantage and pushes Michael back into the corner. He slams his forearm into the face of Moretta, stepping back and sending a knife edge chop right to the chest of Moretta. He goes for another one, but Michael storms out of the corner and takes Malaki down with a huge clothesline. He roars with rage as he drags Toala to his feet and hooks him up from a huge scoop slam. Michael hits the ropes and comes back with a leg drop, but Malaki manages to roll out of the way, scrambling to Moretta and locking in a rear naked choke hold.}

Terri Morasco: Oh, that’s an interesting one. Terri Michael Moretta could have this match here!

Vasco Dias: A choke? Come on Malaki won’t be beaten that easy.

{ Inside the ring Malaki is desperately reaching for the ropes, but he just can’t reach. Michael squeezes as hard as he can trying to get his opponent to submit but Malaki is tougher than expected. He struggles and struggles and finds a way to one knee. Moretta tries to make the hold tighter, but Toala manages to get to his feet and charges backwards into the turnbuckle slamming Moretta into the turnbuckle forcing him to break the hold.}

Vasco Dias: Nice ring awareness there by Toala.

{ Toala stumbles away from the corner and Michael comes storming out again, but this time Malaki reads it perfectly and spears Michael Toretta to the ground with his Hospital Pass finishing move. Michael hits the matt hard as Toala covers…...ONE!..........TWO!.......THR-NO!!! Michael Torreta manages to kick out! He slams his fists into the ground and heads to the ropes as Michael climbs back to his feet. He’s full of fury as Malaki comes towards him, Malaki swings with a wild punch, and Toretta ducks it, taking Malaki down with The Contract! He covers…...ONE! …….TWO! ……..THRE-NO!!! Malaki Toala kicks out just before the three! Both men roll to their knees ready to go one last time.}

Terri Morasco: What a match!

{ The two charge each other again, Michael swings for Malaki but Malaki ducks under it. Torreta hits the ropes coming back, but Toala catches him….HOLY CRAP! ENTER THE RED ZONE!!! Malaki covers…..ONE! …….TWO! …….THREE!!! Malaki Toala wins! He is the Gladiators Season One winner! Joey leaps up in the air and cheers as golden confetti falls from the ceiling and Malaki looks up stoically, nodding his head almost in approval whilst Joey screams his head off and ushers in a group of photographers to take some photos as we go to a commercial break. }

TAG TEAM MATCH
Defenders of the realm vs Mason St Croix and Davey Ortega

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

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

Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is set for one fall and is a Tag Team Match, introducing first currently in the ring the team of Mike Machado and Gerald Killngbeck, The Defenders of the Realm!

Terri Morasco: Mike and Gerald have really done well as team this far but they’re facing some tough competition tonight.

Vasco Dias: I’ll say, Davey Ortega and Mason St. Croix are both part of the Extinction Event match and have their sights set on Gold and The Empire.



Alison Valance: And their opponents, first hailing from Savannah, GA, Mason St. Croix!



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



Alison Valance: And his partner, from Atlantic City, NJ, here is Davey Ortega!

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

Terri Morasco: Looks like we’re ready to get this one started, it looks like Gerald Killingbeck will be starting things off for his team against Mason St. Croix.

{ The bell sounds and St. Croix attempts a tie up with the 7 footer but Gerald just shoves him away. Mason quickly returns to his feet, fired up from the nonchalant shove by the big man. Mason nails an uppercut that rocks Gerald’s head back and he responds with one of his own that sends Mason to the mat. Once again back to his feet the former Army Ranger ducks a clothesline from the charging Killingbeck and goes behind him and applies a waistlock and hits a German Suplex on the 415lb Gerald which brings Ooohs and Aaahs from the crowd.}

Terri Morasco: What a display of strength by Mason St. Croix.

Vasco Dias: The whole ring shook Terri!

{Mason is to his feet but is holding his lower back after lifting his massive opponent. He grabs Geral by the foot and begins stomping away at his inner thigh trying to keep the big man off his feet. In the corner Mike Machado is screaming, “Get up Gerald!” but St. Croix just looks over at him and stomps even harder. Gerald shows some life and kicks Mason away allowing him to roll over and make it to a knee. Mason begins laying punches into the bald head of Killingbeck who responds by reaching out and latching onto his throat. Gerald stand with his hand still around St. Croix’s throat and hoists him into the air and over his shoulder where he drops him with a Shoulderbreaker. Gerald makes the cover but before the ref can even begin to count Ortega breaks up the pin.}


Terri Morasco: That could have been it right there.

Vasco Dias: I doubt it, but Davey Ortega was just making sure.

{ Davey begins to stomp away at Gerald bringing Machado into the ring to defend his partner but the referee forces him back to the corner allowing Ortega to jam his thumb into the left eye of Gerald who had fought up to his knees. Davey goes back to the corner and Mason capitalizes on his partners underhanded tactics by getting to his feet and hitting a running bulldog on the kneeling Killingbeck. Mason then makes the tag to Davey and steps out onto the apron. Ortega immediately hits the ropes and nails a low drop kick to the knee of Gerald not allowing him to stand. Davey grabs the foot of Gerald and applies a spinning toe hold and grapevines the leg, he leans back to apply pressure and Gerald’s face contorts in agony.}

Terri Morasco: Things aren’t looking good for Gerald Killingbeck, he really needs to make the tag.

Vasco Dias: What good will that do him?

Terri Morasco: Come on now Vas, Machado has really stepped up lately.

{Somehow Gerald begins scooting towards his corner and dragging Davey with him, he reaches out and his fingertips just barely touch Mike’s but it’s enough and Machado leaps into the ring and kicks Ortega in the knee breaking the leglock. Gerald rolls out of the ring to the floor while Mike goes to work on Davey with kicks. Ortega kicks back from his back and then stands and Machado turns and tries to make the tag but Gerald is still on the ground. Mike turns around and Davey charges at him but Mike nails the Soul Patch Super Kick. The grazing kick is enough to take Ortega down and Machado quickly climbs to the top rope.}

Terri Morasco: I think it’s time for a Mustache Ride!

{Machado leaps and flash bulbs go off but he eats a face full off canvas as Davey rolls out of the way. Ortega rolls over and places an arm over his chest and the ref counts 1…2…NO Gerald is back in and breaks up the cover. This brings in Mason who slips behind Killingbeck and nails him with The Ranger’s Way! Immediately St. Croix drops to the floor holding his lower back while Gerald is a mess, rolling around holding the back of his neck and screaming in the middle of the ring. Slowly both Machado and Ortega get to their feet and Mike charges forward, using the back of his fallen partner as a springboard and nails a beautiful Hurricanrana on Ortega, hooking the legs for the pin.}

Vasco Dias: Where the hell did that come from?

{The ref drops down and begins to count, 1…2…suddenly Davey shifts his weight and rolls backwards with Mike now being pinned…1…2…3!}

Terri Morasco: Ortega and St. Croix win! But Defenders of the Realm really put up a great fight.

Vasco Dias: I have to give it to them, even in defeat I was incredibly impressed with their performance.

{Davey slides out to the floor leaving a stunned Mike Machado to check on Gerald who is still down holding the back of his neck. Ortega goes over and checks on Mason as well since he’s still feeling the effects of hitting The Ranger’s Way on a 415lb man. Surprisingly Ortega helps St. Croix to the ramp and the two of them stand with their arms raised in victory.}

SINGLES MATCH
Lance Ryan vs Eddie Black

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

{ Walk by Avenged Sevefold breaks the silence of the crowd as Eddie and Rachel make their way to the ring. }

Vasco Dias: Eddie Black has been turning heads in IWF the last month with some very entertaining matches against Rob Diamond as well as Mike Laszlo not to mention this little rivalry he has going on with the Ace.

Terri Morasco: Eddie has been impressive but he needs to be careful with men like the Ace, he’s no slouch and he knows how to get dirty.

Vasco Dias: Just as well as Eddie’s next opponent, a returning legend… LANCE RYAN!

{ "All Good Things Must Come To An End" comes over the PA system and the fans all crowd to their feet. Whether they are cheering or booing, they want to be shown on television showing their passion for the living legend, Lance Ryan.

The lights fade to a dim blue and Lance walks out onto the stage and peers into the crowd. As he starts to make his way down the aisle, he reaches out to slap hands with one set of fans and pulls his hand back. He then crosses the aisle and does ham it up with some of the fans.

Lance stops about ten feet from the ring and he runs and slides under the bottom rope. Once in the centre of the ring he hops up to his feet and then goes to the camera on the hard side and sits down in the corner and stares with a blank stare into the crowd at the people that love to love and love to hate him. }

Vasco Dias: The fans are extremely excited to see Lance Ryan back.

Terri Morasco: As are we all but let’s see how he fairs against IWF original, Eddie Black.

{ The bell sounds and Lance hypes up the crowd as he steps out of his corner, Eddie pops his neck as the two men move in for each other. They lock it up and Lance quickly starts to over power Eddie. Eddie drives a knee into Lance and Lance moves for a side head lock. Eddie breaks loose with several elbow shots and heads for the ropes and Lance looks for a clothes line, Eddie gets under it and bounces off the ropes, Eddie looks for a Lou Thez press but Lance takes him out of the air with a clothes line! }

Vasco Dias: Big time clothes line and a huge pop from our live crowd.

Terri Morasco: Lance Ryan has been around the business a long time and knows all the tricks, Eddie has wrestled all over the world, I’m imagining a pretty even battle.

{ Rachel roots Eddie on from the outside as Lance pulls him off the mat. Black fires off a hard elbow to the jaw of Lance and turns around and hits several hard fore arm shivers before hitting a discus lariat that takes Lance off his feet. Ryan pops back up and Eddie kicks him in the stomach and blubs him hard over the back. Eddie hits the ropes and as Lance gets up he nails the Lou Thez press this time and pummels Lance on the ground. }

Terri Morasco: Eddie Black is all over Lance here.

Vasco Dias: Ryan could be suffering from some ring rust.

{ The ref breaks it up and Eddie grins as Lance gets to his feet. Eddie comes at Lance and misses an upper cut, Lance picks Eddie up for an inverted atomic drop and then clothes lines him in the back of the head. Lance steps up on the back of Eddie’s skull and then stomps down hard. }

Vasco Dias: Ohhh, brutal move by Lance.

Terri Morasco: Ryan isn’t known for always fighting fair.

{ Ryan pulls Eddie up and sends him into the ropes, Lance catches him on the rebound for a release over head belly to belly suplex! Black staggers to his feet and Ryan comes off the ropes with a strong clothes line that sends Eddie flipping over himself and onto the mat. Lance backs up and hypes the crowd up as he waits for Black to stand and then bursts out of the corner with CANADA CALLING!!! Lance covers Black. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Close call for Eddie Black but he managed to kick out.

Terri Morasco: Lance Ryan is looking very good here right now but he needs to focus less on the crowd and more on Eddie.

{ Lance is still pumping the crowd up as Eddie staggers to his feet, Lance comes up behind him looking for a German suplex but Eddie elbows him in the mouth and spins around with a hard right hand and whips Lance hard into the corner. Black runs in after him with a double knee to the face and then spins him out of the corner with a snap mare. Black bounces off the ropes and comes back with a drop kick to the face and a quick cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Terri Morasco: Black almost had him!

Vasco Dias: Lance Ryan is a decorated hall of fame wrestler, he’s got more resilience than that.

{ Black is up and pulls Lance with him. Black hits several hard knees to the mid section and then explodes with a lunging clothes line that levels Ryan. Black pulls him up and sends him into the corner, he runs in after him with a big clothes line then climbs the ropes and begins laying in some heavy mounted punches from the top rope. Black reaches ten as the crowd counts when Ryan pushes himself forward for a wicked power bomb! }

Vasco Dias: Ryan with a nice little reversal there sending Black hard onto his back.

Terri Morasco: He doesn’t know the word quit.

{ Ryan shakes the cob webs loose as Black gets to his feet. Ryan kicks Eddie hard and hits a release German suplex. Ryan grabs Eddie as the crowd goes wild and hooks him up for the Faceplant pile driver! Eddie’s head bounces off the mat as Lance hooks the leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Another close call.

Terri Morasco: Lance Ryan has got to feel the end is near for this match.

Vasco Dias: Absolutely.

{ Ryan is up and revs the crowd up as he waits for Black to work his way back to his feet. Lance hooks Black up but Eddie stomps his foot and turns with a hard right hand and then runs Lance toward the ropes and sends him flying to the out side. Eddie walks around in a circle and screams as Lance gets up and comes flying across the ring and through the ropes with a suicide dive!!! }

Terri Morasco: Eddie Black is a psychopath!

Vasco Dias: He took a big risk there.

{ The two men are down on the outside as Rachel tells Eddie to get up. Black staggers to his feet and grins as he grabs a fist full of Lance Ryan and stands him up. Eddie runs Lance toward the ring post but Lance blocks the blow and turns with a big right hand of his own. He grabs Eddie and tries to slam his face into the ring post now but Eddie blocks it too and nails a hard elbow. Eddie turns and Lance boots him hard, Eddie counters with a right hand, Lance hits a left and Eddie kicks him and then they both hit each other with a clothes line on the outside! }

Vasco Dias: Lance and Eddie are just going tit for tat out there.

Terri Morasco: Neither one is ready to give up the fight.

{ Both men slowly get to their feet and Lance is the first to roll in to avoid a count out. Eddie climbs up on the apron and Lance hits a shoulder block to the mid section, Eddie grabs Lance and drops off the apron, choking Lance across the top rope! Lance whips back into the ring and falls. }

Terri Morasco: Smart move by Black.

Vasco Dias: But can he put Lance away?

{ Eddie rolls into the ring and covers Lance. ONE! TW- KICK OUT! }

Terri Morasco: Too late.

Vasco Dias: It’s either man’s match at the moment but damn their looking good in there.

Terri Morasco: I could watch them wrestle all night.

{ Black is up and a little frustrated as he storms around the ring. He grabs Lance and rips him to his feet but Lance hits an exploding European upper cut! }

Terri Morasco: Black is stunned!

{ Lance looks to scoop Eddie up but Rachel trips Lance up, he turns to look and Black strikes, locking Lance into the CHOKE OUT!! }

Vasco Dias: EDDIE HAS HIM!!

{ Black pulls him down to the mat, Lance fights it, he fights it hard and he struggles for the ropes, he doesn’t want to tap, the fans don’t want him to tap and finally he seems to fade out as the ref grabs his wrist and raises it. ONE! He picks his arm up again. TWO! The ref does it one last time and THREE!!! }

Terri Morasco: Black choked out Lance Ryan!

Vasco Dias: Lance refused to tap out, he refused to give up and in the end he faded out. We have to have a rematch between these two.

Terri Morasco: Absolutely we do.

{ Eddie gets up and Rachel wraps herself around him as the crowd boos. }

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

MATCH
Kristoff Liam Bates vs "Godly" Ken Davison

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

{"Actions Speak Louder Than Words Do..."

The song by Celldweller, Louder than Words begins to play over the P.A. and the lights start to spazz out to the beat as Kristoff Liam Bates comes down the ramp, clutching his trademark briefcase.

"Did I really Hear you say you're sorry, hard for me to believe..."

Bates ascends the stairs, leaving his briefcase on the outside and meticulously takes off his suitcoat and tie before hopping through the ropes and cockily smiling, waiting in the corner stretching before the bell rings.}

Terri Morasco: Well look who's back....

Vasco Dias: There was a time in IWF's forerunner NCW where this guy was a world title contender...great to see him back....

{The opening guitar riffs of "Violence Fetish" by Disturbed fill the arena as “Godly” Ken Davison steps through the curtain, posing with his arms out like a cross. He smiles, as if the jeers of the audience were actually cheers. Davison's face quickly turns serious and he begins to walk methodically down to the ring. He circles the ring, stopping at each corner to pose in front of the fans. Finally, he slides into the ring and stands in the center with his arms out. The lights go down and a spotlight focuses on Davison in the ring. A red laser circles the ring before finally settling on Davison's forehead. The sound of a gunshot cuts off the music and the arena goes dark. In a few moments, the lights come back on with Davison still standing in the middle of the ring, without his robe and ready for battle.}

Terri Morasco: As if we didn't have enough weirdo's floating around...

Vasco Dias: Davison is great in the ring and is an awesome addition to the cruiserweight division Terri...

{The bell rings and our two returning stars move around one another. They lock up, Davison hits a standing switch behind KLB and piks him up slamming him face first, Davison moves around KLB's body and get's him in a front headlock, KLB gets to one knee and grabs Davison's wrist before spinning out and down out of it twisting Ken's arm and pushing Ken down face first, KLB then puts Davison's arm behind his back in a ground hammerlock. KLB raises up and drops his knee into the back of davison and keeps him grounded pushing his arm up higher putting pressure on his shoulder.}

Terri Morasco: KLB is doing an excellent job of grounding Davison.

Vasco Dias: It's great to see some real mat wrestling Terri

{Davison works his foot over to the ropes forcing the referee to break the hold, KLB backs off and waits for Davison to get up. They lock up again, KLB grabs Davison and gets him in a top wristlock, Davison rolls forward and to the side before kipping up reversing the pressure, KLB rolls back and up before kicking davisons hand off his arm. He then goes for a clothesline, Davison ducks and runs under before springboarding off the middle rope going for a springboard moonsault press, KLB runs under but Davison lands on his feet, KLB turns around right into a stiff superkick. Davison pins 1....2...KLB kicks out.}

Terri Morasco: Oh Davison with the superkick

Vasco Dias: That is a great shot but KLB kicked out

{Davison measures KLB up, he goes for the knee tremlber as KLB gets to his feet, KLB moves out of the way and spins around before picking Davison up in a AA spinebuster slamming him to the ground hard, KLB slides into a mount position and cradles Kens head before raining down closed fists to the top of Ken's head, KLB gets to his feet and pulls Davison up before turning him around and dropping down with a neckbreaker. KLB goes for the pin 1....2....Davison kicks out. Kristoff pulls Davison up again and goes for the crusifix powerbomb, but Ken hooks his legs around the top rope as Kristoff goes for the throw, Ken lands behind Bates and as Bates turns around he eats a rolling koppo kick to the face.}

Terri Morasco: And Davison again with a kick to KLB's face

Vasco Dias: Painful!

{Davison calls for the iron claw he calls the hand of god. As KLB gets up Davison applies it, KLB fights it and tries to get im to release the hold, KLB then leaps up and hits the triangle choke from a flying position bringing Davison to the mat, Davison lets go for the claw and KLB appliies extra pressure, Davison refuses to tap but then slowly passes out causing the ref to call for the bell}

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

SEGMENT
"The Ace and the Redneck"

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

{ We come back from break to see Eddie Black pacing back and forth in the interview area shortly after his match with Lance Ryan. Eddie stops pacing and dead pans the camera. }

Eddie Black: Jake "The Ace" Conway...

{ He sneers. }

Eddie Black: I been callin' ya out for weeks, Ace, waitin' for ya to be a man an step up to me.

{ Black turns and spits on the ground. }

Eddie Black: Instead a steppin' up ta me like a man ya been hidin' behind camera, behind doors and behind ya wife. Yer nothin' but a bitch Ace, an over hyped little bitch. Ya stuck ya nose in my business an now ya no where ta be found. Ya left ya poor little sista in law in my care, nothin' ta say well I got somethin' ta say. Me an ya in a match, Jakey, next week at Survival of the Fittest, that way I can either personally slap ya back into ya place or ya can prove me right an still not show up like a God damn pussy whipped bitch!

{We cut to the ringside announce table with Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias}

Vasco Dias: Well those were some quite strong words from the young rising star, Eddie Black who gave an impressive performance against the returning NCW Legend, Lance Ryan earlier tonight...

Terri Morasco: Yes, but as we just heard, Lance isn't the only NCW Legend Eddie has made a point of crossing over the last several weeks and now he has challenged The Ace to a match at Survival of the Fittest.

Vasco Dias: The Ace hasn't been seen in an IWF ring on his own since our inaugural Pay Per View Terri where he was so close to becoming the first ever Heavyweight Champion but was  etched out by the younger, hungrier Xavier Cross.

Terri Morasco: Indeed, the last time we saw The Ace, he helped Spike Kane defend the tag team titles, titles he had no claim to. On that night, he proved that he still has something left to give and one question that has run through IWF since then is whether we will ever see The Ace in the ring again...

Vasco Dias: And earlier in the week, we sent our very own Maria Iniesta to The Ace's home in Las Vegas, Nevada to try and get the answer to some questions, and some others. Maria has this exclusive sit down interview for us with The Ace.

{Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco smile at the camera before we cut to the interview footage.}

EARLIER THIS WEEK

{Maria Iniesta is sat across from The Ace who himself is sat on a luxurious black leather couch. He is wearing some blue jeans, blue tinted shades and his shoulder length blonde hair is tied back into a neat ponytail. He is also wearing his classic 'Survival of the British' T-shirt.}

Maria Iniesta: The Ace...wow, thanks for giving me this interview...

{Maria looks a little star stuck in his presence and The Ace handles it with all the ease of somebody used to this type of reaction...}

The Ace: It is my pleasure, Maria...and please, call me Jake...

Maria Iniesta: Thank you A - I mean, Jake...

{Maria smiles}

Maria Iniesta: Well, I guess the biggest and most obvious question on everybody's lips is will we ever see The Ace back in a wrestling ring?

{The Ace smiles} 

The Ace: You know what they say Maria, be careful what you wish for. I never officially retired, and that seems to be something the Spike Kanes and the Mike Laszlos back there in the locker-room seem to have forgotten. 

Maria Iniesta: I see, so if you haven't retired, why did you step back from the ring?

The Ace: A multitude of reasons really, but mostly because I wanted to spend more time at home with my kids. Contrary to what some people will tell you, I don't NEED to step back in the ring, the days when I truly craved the spotlight and the titles are well and truly behind me. When I step back in the ring now it will be because I love the business and the fans, and if they want to support me on my way to a few more titles before I retire, all the better.

Maria Iniesta: You said when, so it really isn't a question of if...

{The Ace shakes his head}

The Ace: No, and as long as the right people continue to support me, it never will be.

Maria Iniesta: By the right people, I assume you mean Kathy and the kids? How do they feel about you stepping back in the ring?

The Ace: Kathy has never had a problem with it, she routinely reminds me that this was my passion and my life long before it was hers. Soli and Min, well they can't wait to see daddy get back in the ring and kick some piddly ass. Just the other day Soli was asking if I was going to fight Eddie...

Maria Iniesta: Eddie? Eddie Black? Well it is a good question, are you? He does seem to have some kind of issue with you lately...

The Ace: Indeed he does, and in this business when two people need to settle a dispute, there's only one place to settle it - the ring. All Eddie has to do is name the time and the place and I'll be there. If Lance Ryan still has one more run in him, why shouldn't I?

Maria Iniesta: So Lance Ryan inspired your decision to return?

The Ace: Not so much inspired as swayed, I was on the fence for a while until he called me and we had a long conversation about his own return.

Maria Iniesta: You mentioned the fans supporting you to more titles, any specific ones?

The Ace: I suppose it would be a little too obvious to say Imperial, everybody wants that, so I'll go with Man of Steel...or, you know what? I really wouldn't mind another crack at the Heavyweight...

Maria Iniesta: So since you have pretty much laid down the gauntlet for Eddie to name the time and place, is it safe to assume you've struck a new deal? Is the ink dry yet?

{The Ace smiles} 

The Ace: The deal's been done for about two weeks now, Simon was good enough too honor my previous Legends deal with NCW which was for two years and expired in September...and so when he offered me a three year deal on similar terms, I realised that I still had a few more matches left in me and more importantly I still had the desire. So many times, people tell me this business is a machine and that we're all cogs who are replaceable and expendable, but I don't necessarily think that's true.The fact is, Spike, Lance, Steve and myself, we're some of the oldest dogs still around, and like it or not, IWF still does damn good business with our names. The new blood is good, but not quite good enough to make us irrelevant just yet. There is life in this old dog yet, and when there isn't, I'll gladly step aside for Eddie or somebody else.

Maria Iniesta: I see, well thanks again for your time...Jake.

The Ace: Any time, Maria...

{The Ace grins}

{We cut back to Terri and Vasco}

Vasco Dias: We are just receiving word that Eddie Black's challenge has been answered!

Terri Morasco: That's right, Dias! The Ace will return to face Eddie Black next week at Survival of the Fittest, live on Pay Per View!

Vasco Dias: I really can't think of a more fitting return for The Apex Of Evolution.

Terri Morasco: Me either.

[Dark Lord Simon de Montfort]

TAG TEAM MATCH
Virus vs L2K

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

Alison Valance: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall… introducing first, the team of Cyrus Daniels, and Bernard De Montfort, LICENSE TO KILL!!!!"

{ As the clicking and didgeridoo of 'Sixes and Sevens' by Ash Dargan kick in, Cyrus Daniels and Bernard de Montfort walk to the ring with a purpose, Cyrus looks out at the sea of free people around the arena with a noticeable look of disdain. Cyrus uses the ropes to pull himself onto the apron and step over the ropes and into the ring. The team walks to the centre of the ring, looking at the crowd but he seems disinterested in engaging with them on any level, he just wants the match to start. }

Alison Valance: "And their opponents weighing in at a combined weight of 535 pounds, they are VIRUS!"

{ "Creeping death" by metallica plays and the fans boo as the Largest Lust and Shogun walk down to the ring. They look disgusted at the crowd before entering the ring they go to their corner and wait for the bell to ring. }

Vasco Dias: Time to see what these new guys are made of!

{ The bell rings and Cyrus Daniels decides to start the match off, Tank looks at Lust and points at Daniel's and simply says "DESTROY LUST!" }

Vasco Dias: "I am not going to lie I do not like the looks of this match one single bit the rest of Virus could be on the attack at any moment."

Terri Morasco: "And if they do I am getting out of here, that one chick that rolls with them creeps the hell out of me."

{ Cyrus and Lust walk to the middle of the ring and stare each other down before Cyrus initiates the tie up. Lust having the size advantage by just barely gains the position and throws Cyrus to the ground. He smiles down at Cyrus and sticks his tongue out at him in a freakish way. Cyrus scrambles to his feet and charges toward Lust, Lust reacts with a big clothesline, Lust pulls up Daniels and sling shots him into the corner. He runs at Cyrus and jumps splashing on him chest to chest, he starts pounding the midsection of Cyrus Daniel's. He walks out of the corner away from Daniels and smiles in approvement, he looks over at Tank and Tank nods to him. He turns his attention to Cyrus, and goes to run at him. Cyrus moves out of the way and Lust goes flying into Corner. Lust gets the wind knocked out of him, Cyrus runs and spears Lust from behind right into the corner. Lust gets bent the wrong way and backs out of the corner. Cyrus runs across the ropes and dives at lust chopping his legs out, he builds some momentum for his team. }

Vasco Dias: "Well this is a great surprise, Cyrus Daniels is coming back looking to take down Lust and has done so! The brawling has done great so far!"
{ Cyrus goes for a pin  1...tw/ KICK OUT! He shakes his head and stands up trying to drag Lust up, Lust shoves Cyrus away. Cyrus tries to cut down Lust again but Lust instead grabs him and throws him over to Tank's corner. Tank nods in approval as Lust tags him into action! Tank enters the ring and smacks Cyrus Daniels right in the face out of disrespect. The fans boo in disapproval. }

Teri Morasco: "Wow thats real mature, why don't you actually wrestle and not slap fight like a little high school punk."

{ Tank climbs to the second rope and begins his ten punch count, 1...2...3...4..5..6 Cyrus throws Tank off him. Tank lands on his feet and Cyrus runs at Tank and Tank runs back. Cyrus ducks under and Tank stops on a dime and turns around, he is met by Cyrus throwing a hard left hand, and then a hard right. Tank gets his bell rung real good before he is tossed across the ropes. Cyrus picks Tank up as he comes back towards him and spins around slamming him in a powerslam. The fans scream and chant trying to get the tired Cyrus going. Cyrus looks over to Bernard and stumbles to his feet, he sees Tank coming toward him and he leaps and tags in Bernard! }

Vasco Dias: "HERE WE GO BUSINESS IS GONNA PICK UP!"

Teri Morasco: "These two sure thought nasty things culturally about each other. They made it vocal and they made it known." 

{ Tank stands in the middle of the ring and shakes his head looking around at the crowd then he looks back at Bernard. Bernard gets in Tank's face and he shakes his head. Tank pushes Bernard out of his face and smirks as he flips him off, Bernard doesn't like that and loads up starting to throw hay makers. Tank returns throwing a few jabs of his own but is over taken by Bernard and is backed into the ropes.  Getting vengeance for his home town of York! Bernard chops tank in the chest and the crowd lets out a "WOOOO!" He chops again...."WOOO!" He Irish whips him across the ring and lands a flap jack on Tank. He goes for the pin. 1....2... KICK OUT!}

Teri Morasco: "Tank talked about poor offense and no defense, looks like he doesn't have much of either!"

{ Bernard shakes it off and grabs Tank by the hair, Tank cheap shots Bernard in the low gut, and Bernard lets go of his hair! Bernard stays doubled over. Tank drops to a knee and lands a hard uppercut, Bernard flies back on his back. Tank shakes off the blows he took, and tries to focus back on Bernard. He stomps down Bernard a couple times before leg dropping Bernards hard! He goes for a pin of his own 1...2. KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: "I think it is possible we may have jinxed the match!"

{ Tank kneels down next to Bernard and pounds his head with some mounted punches. He climbs the turnbuckle and waits for Bernard to stand up, he leaps off the top rope and hits the flying cross body!! Instead of pinning he shakes his head, insisting the punishment go on. He leaps off the ropes and moonsalts only to meet Bernards knees to his rib cage. Tank literally springs back to his feet in pain he falls right on his back. He gasps for air and lands right in front of Cyrus's side of the ring. Bernard is on the other by Lust. Both men exhausted and in pain start crawling to their own sides. }

Vasco Dias: "That's why you stay on your feet, its fricken' stupid to hop around like that! And then he learned why you stay on the ground!"

{ The two men meet in the middle, both on their stomachs they make eye contact, and get the drive to get on their feet. They make it to a knee what Tank throws a punch, Bernard takes it hard, but comes back swinging one of his own. Tank almost falls back on his back but comes back with ANOTHER OF HIS OWN!!! The two men start trading blows till they're on their feet, Tank ducks under Cyrus and runs at Lust leaping and tagging in! Lust charges at Bernard but Bernard runs and tags in Cyrus, Lust grabs Cyrus and throws him in the ring he waits for Cyrus to rise and bites his thumb and gets ready to set up the Bloodlust infliction! Cyrus gets up and see's it coming he ducks! He kicks lust in the gut and loads him up on his shoulders! HE HITS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM! Cyrus is a big man him self but landing his move took out all it had in him! The ref begins to count the two out 1....2....3....4..5 }

Torri Morsaco: "What the hell!!?!? Jackhammer is coming down to the ring! He can't be here!"

{ Jackhammer jumps up on the side of the ring and tries to the ref. It works he stops his count and tries to get jackhammer out.  Cyrus see's whats going on, but he doesn't see Tank coming up from behind him! Tank stalks him and waits for him to turn around! As Cyrus turns he hits Odin's Hammer! Bernard enters the ring and flies into Tank knocking them both out side the ring! }

Vasco Dias: "THIS IS CHEAP AND BS! REF DISQUALIFY VIRUS!!!"

{ Jackhammer spotting his moments climbs in an immediately begins a beat down of Cyrus Daniels, leading to an immediate disqualification, at least it would if he and ShoGun didn't also lay the referee out flat! We are getting no decision here tonight but a message has been clearly sent as we zoom in on Hammer and ShoGun stands tall in the ring, smiling as we cut to a commerical break. }

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

FATAL FOUR WAY
Redemption vs Jayson Matthews vs Nero Blake vs Gjenrei

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

{ The lights dim as "Ryoujoku no Ame" by Dir En Grey starts to play. The masked man known only as "Gjenrei" steps out from behind the curtain and kneels at the upper part of the ramp as the drum beats start to kick in. He waits, his hands folded in prayer, then the music amps up and comes full force. He leaps from his knees to his feet as a short pyro burst explodes on either side of the ramp. He walks down the ramp, and ascends one of the corner turnbuckles, gazing out over the packed crowd. Then he sits himself on top of the turnbuckle, crossed legged, and meditates until the match is about to get underway. }

Vasco Dias: Four men enter, one man leaves with all the momentum going into Survival of the Fittest.

Terri Morasco: You could almost think of this as a preview for the big show as rumor has it there will be several multi man matches.

Vasco Dias: Only fitting if you consider the name.

{ The lights turn black as a single spotlight falls over the entrance, when the song crescendos Redemption is standing on the entrance ramp. He walks to the ring, focusing on only the match. He walks up the steps wiping his feet on the outside of the mat before stepping through the ropes and waiting. }

Vasco Dias: Redemption looked great last week against Mason St Croix but came up a little short, however he is definitely a force to be reckoned with here.

Terri Morasco: Another of our IWF originals just waiting for a chance to make an impact.

{ To Be The Best by Tenacious D starts to play over the speakers and Jayson Matthews comes bursting out of the back like a ball of energy and slaps fans hands as he runs down to the ring. }

Terri Morasco: J-Mat as his fans call him has an uphill battle to fight here with the cruiser weight champion and two very large, brutal adversaries.

Vasco Dias: A win here could move him far up the rankings.

{ “Cry little sister vs hello zepp” by Celldweller plays and the lights go down and a spotlight appears on the stage and Nero is in it, he slowly makes his way down to the ring and runs up the steps before stepping into the ring and dropping to his knees in the center with his arms to his sides and his palms facing outward. }

Vasco Dias: Nero Blake is a man to be feared, his cold and calculating nature make it very difficult to get inside his head and figure him out.

Terri Morasco: Not to mention his desire to open his opponents up.

{ All four men take a corner as the ref calls for the bell, none want to move first but eventually Jayson flies out of his corner and goes for Blake and crashes into him with a body splash.

2 vs 4 HANDICAP TAG TEAM MATCH
Ana Valentine and Amber Richards vs Eternity, River Maddison, Crystal Hilton and Avery McCullen

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

{We come back from a commercial break to find all six women in the ring. Eternity, Avery, Crystal and River in one corner and Ana and Amber in the other. Eternity steps forward to start the match forcing the other three to get onto the apron. Amber and Ana seem to be having a heated conversation in the corner over who is starting on their side. Amber shakes her head and begrudgingly gets on the apron.}

Terri Morasco: This is a farce, Ana and Amber being forced to team against four other women...

Vasco Dias: Simon is doing...what's best for business...

{Ana and Eternity start out, Eternity skips around the ring humming while Ana seems to look a little confused. Eternity stops infront of Ana and slaps her across the face before giggling and skipping away, Ana runs forward for a clothesline, Eternity ducks under and runs to the ropes but Ana jumps and hits Eternity in the face with a spinning heel kick. Eternity rolls to the corner and tags in Avery McCullen. Avery cautiously gets in the ring, she and Ana lock up, Avery ducks under with a double leg trip, Ana moves and springs back up so quick that Avery can't takke advantage, Avery launches herself with a forearm to Ana's face and Ana fires back as the two start to throw strikes back and forth, Ana ducks a right hand and picks Avery up slamming her down with a back suplex.}

Vasco Dias: Ana showing how good she is with a great suplex.

Terri Morasco: Ana and Amber won't go down without a fight Vasco.

{Ana runs to the ropes and hits them leaping back with a springboard moonsault, Avery ducks out of the way but Ana lands on her feet, but Avery runs forward and buries her fist into the stomach of Ana, she then picks her up and slams her down with a scoop slam and a leg drop, Avery drags Ana to her corner and tags in River Maddison. River stomps on Ana as Avery holds her in place, she pulls Ana up and hits a few violent strikes to the chin of Ana before hitting a beautiful snap suplex and floating over for a pin 1....2...Ana kicks out. River doesn't waste any motion dropping a hard elbow and another before getting to her feet and measuring Ana up, River runs in going for a shinging wizard as Ana gets to one knee, Ana ducks and catches the legs of River picking her up in a powerbomb slamming River down hard leaving both ladies on the mat.}

Terri Morasco: Ana showing some great strength!

Vasco Dias: That was unexpected!

{Ana shakes it off and starts to drag herself towards Amber who is slamming her hand on the top turnbuckle calling Ana to get to her, River pulls herself up to tag in Crystal just as Ana tags Amber, Amber leaps over the top rope and shoulder blocks crystal down, River gets up and eats a high dropkick sending her from the ring, Amber runs at Crystal and hits the yakuza kick sending crystal down, she goes for the pin 1....2...Eternity gets in and slams her knee into the back of Amber's head, the referee starts pushing the crazed woman from the ring as Crystal gets to her feet holding her jaw.}

Vasco Dias: Eternity is nuts!

Terri Morasco: Crazy and dangerous

{Amber starts to get up holding her head and Crystal comes flying in with a hard right hand, she then snapmare's Amber down and runs to the ropes before dropkicking her in the face. Crystal goes for the pin 1....2...Amber kicks out. Crystal gets up and puts her hands in the air strutting around the ring showing her arrogance. She goes for the Flashing lights chick kick, Amber ducks it and hits a superkick sending crystal down hard. Amber pulls Crystal towards the center of the ring and looks to lock in the scream baby scream (elevated sharpshooter), Crystal kicks her legs and shoves Amber off before turning and tagging in Avery, Avery and Amber stare each other down as the crowd senses the hatred.}

Terri Moraso: Wow...these two hate each other....

Vasco Dias: Three weeks of verbal jabs at each other

{Avery and Amber go to lock up, Amber though hits a knee to the midsection and slaps Avery before mouthing off, Avery turns back and ducks down picking Amber up with the irish eyes GTS!, Amber goes down and Avery goes for the pin 1......2....Ana comes in and breaks it up.}

Terri Morasco: So close! Avery wanted that win!

Vasco Dias: She could taste it

{Ana gets back out onto the apron with the referee yelling at her, Avery gets up and also yells at Ana, Amber gets to her feet and runs up kicking Avery in the back of the knee, Avery goes down hard. Amber gets to her feet and tags Ana in before hitting her Bloody Murder v 2(package piledriver.)Amber then runs across the ring and takes out River and Crystal jumping over the top rope onto them, the referee tries to break it up, Eternity comes in the ring behind Ana and hits a kick to the back of the head sending Ana down. Eternity stops and instead of pinning Ana, she simply cocks her head and grins down at her.}

Terri Morasco: This can't be good.

Vasco Dias: That's a little presumptuous isn't it?

{ Eternity giggles and skips towards the ropes, sliding out before she lifts up the ring apron and make a rather mocking "Oh my, naughty me" gesture before retrieving a steel chair, which she tosses in the ring. Rolling back in Eternity grabs the chair and swings it... into the referee!? }

Terri Morasco: What the hell is she doing!?

Vasco Dias: Swinging a chair, that stupid woman got in her way.

{ Eternity laughs as the other girls look at her momentarily but suddenly, before the dust has truly settled Crystal and River both drop out of the ring and retrieve their own chairs, clutching them dutifully before rolling back in the ring. Avery backs away, a little taken aback by what is happening but just as she get's out of dodge, Ana Valentine AND Amber Richards are both suddenly, and violently assaulted. Chair shots rain down on both women who scream in agony as Eternity's laughs intermingle with their pain. }

Terri Morasco: This is disgusting, this was all a set up!

Vasco Dias: Are you just throwing accusations around now?

{ The assault continues when suddenly Ashley Mastrangelo and Jessica Reed come storming out from behind the curtains as the crowd pops. They make an immediate beeline for the ring as they sprint desperately towards the carnage in an attempt to save to the two stricken ladies. Ashley hits the ring and prepares to strike Eternity... but freezes, turning to realise she is all alone. Outside the ring, just out of shot, a team of security guards has descended on Jess who kicks and screams as they pull her back from the ring as Ashley watches in despair. Taking advantage of the distraction the three ladies descend upon her, knocking her down viciously with the same chair shots that have incapacitated Ana and Amber. }

Vasco Dias: Thank God they kept her safe.

Terri Morasco: They just hung out Ashley to dry!

Vasco Dias: Do you want to see our champion compete next week or not? I know I do personally, a wise move.

{ As Jess continues to protest whilst being dragged up the ramp suddenly the arena erupts with boos as Simon de Montfort emerges, flanked by Katherine Lockheart who has two scrolls, one in either hand. As they march down the ramp he smiles at Jess and waves as she tries to scratch at him, but to no avail. The pair reach the ring and Katherine tentatively gets in, keeping a hesitant watch on the weapon wielding ladies. Simon walks around the ring to retrieve a microphone as Katherine hands Crystal and River a scroll each before backing away as quickly as she possibly can. }

Simon de Montfort: Congratulations ladies, you have acted admirably in your duties. As we agreed, I am pleased to hand you both a contract securing you immunity from dismissal for the remainder of 2013 in commendation of your acts of heroism in the line of duty. For securing a firm advantage for our leading brand, I give you my eternal thanks.

{ The crowd boo as the two girls drop their chairs whilst Eternity clutches hers like a teddy bear, quite reluctant to relinquish what brought her so much joy. }

Simon de Montfort: Miss Valentine... Miss Richards, your comments have been duly noted in recent weeks and I hope you can take some time to reflect on your futures... next week you will be granted a last opportunity to amend your ways as you compete opposite our champions in the Extinction Event. I suggest you hold you tongues, or next time Miss Lockheart will be bringing you your pinkslips.

{ Simon pauses and looks up the ramp at the security team. }

Simon de Montfort: Gentlemen, could you please escort our prized asset to safety, her ability to perform to her maximum level next week is absolutely paramount.

{ Simon turns back to the ladies and smiles, before bowing his head and preparing to leave with Miss Lockheart who follows him sheepishly up the ramp as medical personnel rush down the ramp to attend to the fallen ladies as we cut to a commercialbreak. }

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

SEGMENT
"Alexis?"

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

We return from commercial where Terri and Vasco start hyping the rest of the show before we are taken back to the backstage area where we again see Mike Laszlo, this time walking down the hall to his locker room, quite satisfied with the deeds he’s done. He opens the door and looks inside.

Mike Laszlo: Alexis?

He looks around from side to side and sees no sign of her. He steps outside and sees some stagehands doing whatever it is they do while they’re standing around.

Mike Laszlo: Alexis? Where is she?

Stagehand: I don’t know man. I haven’t seen her.

Mike walks off yelling her name as the cameras go back to ringside.

Terri Morasco: That doesn’t look good.

Vasco Dias: He spouted off. Someone has to pay!

We switch gears and head on to our next match of the evening.

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

EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIER
Mike Laszlo vs Rob Diamond

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

{ "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis close behind.

Alison: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!

{Mike rolls into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another favored reaction, as Alexis climbs up on the ring apron and through the middle and bottom ropes. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists, twirling them from side to side, waiting for the start of the match. }

Vasco Dias: And now it’s time for our final Extermination Event qualifying match, Mike Laszlo versus Rob Diamond.

Terri Morasco: Laszlo has been on a roll lately.

Vasco Dias: He’s shown major improvement. Rob was a surprise entrant in this as he is not allowed to challenge Spike directly for the Imperial Championship, however he and Roberto found a way around that.

Terri Morasco: If Rob can beat Laszlo and makes it into the Extermination Event and manages to pin Spike it will then be up to Spike’s team to retain his title.

Vasco Dias: That’s a tall order, one that may be a mute point if Laszlo wins this match, which he very well could.

{ The opening to Mama said knock you put by FFDP blares across the pa as Rob Diamond struts out onto the ramp, the crowd pretty much goes nuts for him as he smirks and looks from side to side as the song's lyrics rock your socks off. Rob begins strutting to the ring like the king of the whole damn world, stopping at the middle of the ramp so he can crotch chop your face off as red, white and blue pyro erupts from behind him in the form of an "X"! He smirks again as he hops up onto the apron and climbs up on the corner post from outside and raises his fists up over his head. }

Mama said Knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
Mama said knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!

{ He mouths the words a bit as he jumps off the ropes and leans against the turn buckles. }

Vasco Dias: Rob has got the crowd on fire tonight, two fan favorites about to do battle for a shot at the main event at Survival of the Fittest. This is what the sport is all about.

{ The bell sounds and both men are right out the gate at each other with a lock up in the center of the ring, Mike works his way behind Rob with a rear waist lock but Rob spins it around to a rear wrist lock, Laszlo gets out of that and looks for a rear chin lock but Rob throws his head back, Laszlo moves and Rob spins around to a boot from Mike. Laszlo throws a right hand and backs into the ropes and comes back with a big clothes line that Rob gets under. Rob spins with a back fist but Mike catches it and turns it into a arm drag! Mike looks for an armbar and locks it in. }

Terri Morasco: Laszlo is wrestling a very technically sound match here.

Vasco Dias: He’s looking terrific in the ring tonight.

{ Rob reaches the ropes and Laszlo lets go. Both men get up and go right back to a lock up. Mike gets a rear waist lock take down and looks for a crossface but Rob gets to the ropes again. Both men get back to their feet and Rob misses with a clothes line, Laszlo looks to dump Rob with a german suplex but Rob rolls through hit and clubs Mike over the back of the head, Mike bounces off the ropes and Rob drop kicks him in the chest! }

Vasco Dias: Diamond is right back in this.

Terri Morasco: These men are looking dead even right now.

{ The two of them get back up and Rob quickly grabs Laszlo with a side head lock and spins Laszlo onto his back side and looks for a rear chin lock, he locks it in and arches back but Mike gets his foot on the ropes. Rob lets go and Laszlo spins to his feet. Rob comes at him but Laszlo launches a shoulder into his mid section and grabs Rob for an over head belly to belly suplex that he bridges into a pin. ONE! TW- KICK OUT! Both men get right back up and Rob boots him in the gut and connects with the back fist of democracy! Rob looks for an atomic drop and nails it. Diamond comes at him with a Diamond cutter but Laszlo shoves him off and connects with one of his own! }

Vasco Dias: LASZLO WITH A DIAMOND CUTTER!

{ ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Terri Morasco: What a story if Rob had lost to his own move.

{ Laszlo pulls Rob and hits the Welcome to the CLE! }

Terri Morasco: Insult to injury as Rob looks out of it.

Vasco Dias: Laszlo needs to press this advantage.

{ Laszlo stalks Rob now as he is slow to get up. Mike comes up from behind and looks to lock him into a camel clutch but Rob front rolls away and springs to his feet and connects with a hard forearm shiver. Rob bounces off the ropes and Mike connects with a kick and drops Rob face first across his knee. Rob staggers and Laszlo comes at him with a clothes line but Rob ducks down and back drops Laszlo over the top rope. Mike lands on the apron and gets to his feet and Rob connects with a drop kick that sends Mike off the apron! }

Vasco Dias: Nice drop kick by Diamond.

Terri Morasco: He needed to get Laszlo off of him.

{ Laszlo is right up as Rob grabs the ropes and sling shots himself over the top rope with a cross body and crashes down on top of Mike. Rob is up and the crowd is pumped as he pulls Mike up and sends him into the ring. Rob rolls in after him and pulls Mike to his feet. Rob whips Mike hard into the corner and follows him in with a big splash. He hooks Mike’s legs up and connects with the SHATTERED DREAMS! }

Vasco Dias: Signature Diamond!

Terri Morasco: A move that is no fun for Laszlo.

{ Rob hypes up the crowd now as he pulls Mike to his feet and connects with several hard elbows to the face. Rob sends Mike into the ropes and connects with a back drop, Mike lands hard and Rob bounces off the ropes and hits the ATOMIC LEG DROP! }

Terri Morasco: Mike really needs to stop the momentum.

Vasco Dias: Before it’s too late.

{ Rob pulls Mike to his feet and signals for it but Mike blocks the Diamond Cutter again and connects with a hard right hand then pulls Rob in for NO MERCY!!! Mike covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Laszlo was less than a second away from a chance to be in the main event next week.

Terri Morasco: I’m sure he knows that.

{ Mike stalks Rob now as Rob is slow to stand up. Mike comes in with a wicked boot to the side of Rob’s head. He pulls him up and sends him into the ropes. Rob comes back looking for a clothes line but Mike gets under it and spins Rob around into a snap suplex. Mike twists around and pulls Rob back up, Diamond elbows him in the face and Mike shoves him into the corner. Rob turns and Mike charges him and connects with a clothes line. Mike grabs Rob and… }

Vasco Dias: Hold up… What the?

{ Cable Arcane suddenly appears on the screen. }

Cable Arcane: Mister Laszlo…

{ Mike stops and turns to the screen where Cable Arcane can be seen. }

Vasco Dias: What the hell is this?

Cable Arcane: Missing something?

{ The camera pulls back and we now see that Alexis is struggling in Cable’s grip barely able to breath. }

Vasco Dias: Oh god no…

{ Laszlo pushes past Rob and slides out of the ring and rushes up the ramp as the ref starts to count. }

Vasco Dias: Laszlo has abandoned this match to go help is girlfriend.

Terri Morasco: It’s the only honorable thing to do.

Vasco Dias: Agreed.

{ The ref reaches ten and Rob is declared the winner. }

Vasco Dias: Well Rob moves on to the Extermination Event but probably not the way he would have liked to.

{ Rob shrugs as he has his hand raised when suddenly Gjenrei and Killian Creed come rushing out from the back. }

Vasco Dias: And here comes the Empire!

{ Rob prepares to meet them head on as they slide into the ring and begin laying into him. }

Terri Morasco: Looks like the Empire is trying to divide and conquer tonight.

Vasco Dias: That’s a good plan.

{ Suddenly Alex Jones comes storming out from the back and slides into the ring as well as Xavier Cross, the two of them quickly fight off both Gjenrei and Creed as they retreat out of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: That was close, the Empire was about to try and take Rob out.

Terri Morasco: Thankfully these three men stand tall together.

{ Cross and Jones mouth off as Creed smirks, he and Gjenrei slowly back up the ramp as we head to commercial. }

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

SEGMENT
"It's A Trap!"

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

{ Roberto sits at his desk as we go straight backstage, but he is soon joined by Steve Awesome who bursts into his office. }

Steve Awesome: You had my car towed!?

{ Roberto sniggers to himself. }

Roberto Verona: It was blocking something.

Steve Awesome: What?

Roberto Verona: A skip. I knew there must have been a mistake, it’s unlike you to stand in the way of trash.

{ Steve stands with his hands on his hips. }

Steve Awesome: You’re unbelievable.

Roberto Verona: So I’ve been told.

Steve Awesome: How the hell am I going to get home?

Roberto Verona: There’s these wonderful things called taxi’s, perhaps it is time to learn how to use one? You’ll be barred from parking at events for the foreseeable future.

Steve Awesome: You’ll be hearing my attorneys.

Roberto Verona: Do you even know what a lawyer is?

Steve Awesome: That is beside the point! You ruined my segment and now you’re just trying to psyche me out before our match. I’ve had enough…

{ Steve sticks up a middle finger and turns, grabbing the handle but he almost walks face first into the door. He stops and then begins to twist at the handle, but it barely moves. }

Roberto Verona: What?

Steve Awesome: It’s locked. Oh God, you’re going to have me murdered aren’t you?

{ Roberto rolls his eyes. }

Roberto Verona: This isn’t the Godfather, why would I be stupid enough to kill you when I get to beat you senseless in a week.

Steve Awesome: To gain the advantage.

Roberto Verona: I’m used to more subtle methods like a pipe to the knee. Are you sure it’s locked?

{ Steve tries the handle again. }

Steve Awesome: It’s not opening.

{ Roberto lifts himself up and walks over to the door. }

Roberto Verona: Get out of the way.

{ Roberto pushes Steve to the side and begins to twist at the handle, gradually getting more violent and frustrated. }

Roberto Verona: You have got to be kidding me…

Steve Awesome: HELP!?

{ Roberto cowers in surprises before glaring at Steve. }

Roberto Verona: What the hell is wrong with you?

Steve Awesome: Well, somebody has to get us out of here, I don’t see you do anything.

Roberto Verona: Are you always this stupid? Have you never heard of a telephone?

{ Roberto shakes his head and walks over to his desk, lifting up the phone but he soon begins to look concerned. Placing it back down his grabs the wire and pulls at it and as he does so a frayed cable emerges from behind a plant, clearly having being cut. }

Roberto Verona: What is going on here?

{ Verona looks up at Steve as the pair stand in complete silence and the scene begins to fade. }

MAIN EVENT
IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Killian Creed vs Ryan Blade (c)

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

{ The Phoenix, by Fallout Boy, hits the PA and the ramp explodes with red and orange pyro. Xavier Cross comes stepping out from behind the curtains, a pep in his step. Still dress in street clothes, he points towards the sky, before looking at the arena, holding his arms out. Another round of explosions go off behind him, as he walks down the ramp, giving fans high fives on his way down. Turning the corner, he looks towards the ring with a grin, before making his way to the commentary booth. }

Vasco Dias: “Xavier Cross in the hoooouse!”

Terri Morasco: “Welcome to our lovely work station Cross.”

Xavier Cross: “This is the first time I’ve ever been on commentary...this headset smells funny…”

Vasco Dias: “That is Trent’s old headset….”

Xavier Cross: “Uh...it smells like it’s never been cleaned, or...anything really…”

Vasco Dias: “I miss him! He will be back, and his headset will be waiting for him! Just how he left it…”

Xavier Cross: “My god...there is a lollipop stick stuck in this…”

-static-

Xavier Cross: “See that’s much better, thank you for the fresh headset…”

Vasco Dias: “So Xavier, how do you feel about the match tonight?”

Xavier Cross: “Blade is one of the top young superstars in the business, Creed has had a lot of his life taken from him, so he has that chip on his shoulder to be the best. This will be a step in the right direction for both men.”

Terri Morasco: “Do you not believe that Spike Kane will have a hand to play in the finish?”

Xavier Cross: “Kane can only do so much, he can’t make these men into robots. Both have too much pride and drive going forward. I think we’re going to get exactly what we want here tonight.”

{ “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace hits the speaker system; which brings about a chorus of boos from the crowd. The volume intensifies as Killian Creed steps onto the stage. He pauses for a moment, looking at the crowd with an expressionless face, before moving towards the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and, similar to the way he did on the stage, he pauses in the middle of the ring and looks at the crowd. He proceeds towards a neutral corner and awaits the start of the match. }

Vasco Dias: “Killian Creed has been explosive since bursting onto the scene.”

Xavier Cross: “I don’t quite understand his motives behind joining the Empire, he could have done even better running solo.”

Vasco Dias: “Some men want the finer things in life, and will do anything for that.”

Xavier Cross: “Regardless, he has his first chance at a title, and despite what choices he’s made, this could be a career defining match for both men.”

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

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

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

Vasco Dias: “Current Man of Steel, sort of Heavyweight Champion, and former student of the school of Xavier Cross, Ryan Blade.”

Terri Morasco: “Xavier hasn’t moved, nor said a word since Blade stepped out...It’s kind of creepy.”

{ Blade proceeds to hand the Man of Steel belt over to the referee, before turning towards the announce booth, standing on the ring ropes, he holds the Heavyweight Championship up, not looking down at Xavier, who is staring hate bullets at this point. The fans let out a chorus of boos. }

Terri Morasco: “That’s gotta hurt...seeing Blade carry around your title.”

Xavier Cross: “It hurt when Xander took it from me, but at least he beat me for it…”

Vasco Dias: “The fact is, Blade won that fight, but in a way that the titles wouldn’t change hands. He carries the belt around to mock you, after he backstabbed you. You ever going to get the advantage on this kid.”

Xavier Cross: “He may not be a student, but that doesn’t mean I can’t teach him…Watch.”

{ Creed and Blade circle each other, as the ref calls for the bell. The two step forward immediately locking up in a struggle. Blade gets the early advantage, forcing the headlock. Wrenching it down, Creed struggles to get out of it, to no avail. Pushing himself towards the ropes, before Blade twists his hips pushing Creed forward with an Irish Whip into the ropes. Blade steps out, but Creed catches him with a forearm smash. Blade staggers backwards, as Creed charges forward with a clothesline to keep the offense alive. But Blade ducks it, as Creed falls over the top rope, catching himself as to not fall off the apron. Blade holds his arms up, mocking Creed, not realizing the man is still standing. Blade turns, and is caught with a right jab to the face. }

Vasco Dias: “Damn… Blade got caught off guard there…”

Terri Morasco: “Quite an ego he’s got there…”

Xavier Cross: “It’s going to cost him a lot, he needs to focus, not get distracted the way he does.”

{ Blade staggers a bit, in a daze, but Creed reaches over, grabbing Blade by the head, dropping down, using the rope and gravity across Blade’s throat, he flops backwards onto the mat. Creed slaps the apron a bit, before sliding back into the ring. He seems to motion something to Blade, as Creed grabs the ankle, looking to twist it. Blade rolls over, causing Creed’s grip to slip, before sending a hard kick upwards, sending Creed into the corner. Blade quickly flips back to his feet, charging forward. Creed steps forward catching Blade with a kick to the midsection, before hitting a release belly-to-belly suplex, as Blade goes back first into the corner. }

Xavier Cross: “C’mon kid, get your head into the game.”

Vasco Dias: “Did anyone catch that motion Creed made to Blade right now?”

Terri Morasco: “Like he was letting Blade know that he was going for a submission.”

Vasco Dias: “More so, it sounds like Xavier Cross is rooting for Ryan Blade?”

Xavier Cross: “I don’t hate the kid. He’s young, and dumb with a lot of talent. I was there...I know the roads...he just took the wrong one.”

Vasco Dias: “He used you as a sacrifice, to further his career.”

Xavier Cross (laughs): “Sacrifice? I’m still here aren’t I?”

{ Blade is clutching his lower back, Creed leans down, yelling something at him. Before dragging Blade’s body to the center of the ring, Creed isolates a leg, twisting it a bit, looking for a Figure-Four leg lock, but Blade throws his foot up, kicking Creed in the ass, sending him stumbling forward into the turn buckle, knowing he has to act quickly. Blade rolls to his feet, charging forward catching Creed off guard with a corner splash, grabbing onto Creed’s wrist, Blade whips him into the opposite corner. Creed hits with enough impact to shake the ring, as he steps out holding his back. Blade waits patiently. Creed staggers out as Blade leaps into the air, catching Creed with a beautifully executed drop kick. }

Xavier Cross: “Honestly, I think most of Blade’s success has come from his opponents underestimating him...The kid has a great talent at such a young age.”

Vasco Dias: “You’re right, up until last week, Blade was one of the two longest reigning champs. He hasn’t lost that title..”

Terri Morasco: “But that could change here tonight, Killian Creed is easily his strongest opponent to date.”

{ Creed looks up, rubbing his chest from the impact, looking up at Blade, a confused look on his face. Blade motions for Creed to get up. ‘Hail to the King’ by Avenged Sevenfold hits the P.A., as Spike Kane, Imperial Title thrown over his shoulder, makes his way down the ramp. Blade looks up towards the ramp, an annoyed expression crossing his face. Blade steps to the corner, keeping his eye on Spike. }

Xavier Cross: “And here comes the Prick...er Cunt...I mean King!”

Vasco Dias: “You better what your tongue, he’ll have it cut from your head.”

Terri Morasco: “He just quoted the song, it got serious.”

{ Spike holds a microphone up, letting out a deep breath, he looks down directly at Ryan Blade. }

Spike Kane: “You’ve given these worthless peasants a great show…Now it’s time…”

{ Boos rain down on Spike Kane, as he looks around. }

Spike Kane: “Shut up when your King is speaking!”

{ Ryan Blade shakes his head, turning back to Creed, who is now standing, looking at Blade as if he’s expecting Ryan to do something. Blade shakes his head no, and goes to lock up with Creed. Spike looks left and right, almost asking if Blade is serious right now. Before stepping to the ring, climbing the steps. }

Spike Kane: “Are you disobeying me Blade?”

{ Blade lets go of Creed, crossing the ring over to Spike. The two look at each other, as Spike points at Creed, then at the mat. Blade looks towards Creed, before smiling, turning back to Spike, he throws a quick right hand, knocking Spike from the apron. But he doesn’t have time to turn back around, as Creed uses the distraction to lock in the Rear Naked Choke. Blade tries to fight it off, but Creed locks it in deep. Choking the life out of Ryan Blade, who tries to roll over, tries to get Creed off of him, but all the fighting has allowed Creed to wrench the hold. }

Xavier Cross: “Tap Ryan! Tap! It’s not worth it!”

Vasco Dias: “He’s signed his Empire walking papers, and now Creed is showing him the door.”

Terri Morasco: “Ryan Blade also just floored Spike Kane...this isn’t going to end well.”

Xavier Cross: “Damn it Blade! Just tap! Stop being so damn stubborn…”

{ Blade reaches towards the sky, trying to find ropes, or something, his vision growing blurry, as his hand falls limp. The ref rings the bell, Creed isn’t letting go, as Spike Kane now slides into the ring, holding his jaw, as he walks around, eyeing Blade. }

Vasco Dias: “Do something Cross! He’s your mentee.”

{ The camera switches over to Xavier, at an angle, where we see him from the side, and still see the three men in the ring. Creed has the hold locked in, as Spike claps his hands together. Xavier stands up, looking over to the time keeper’s table, seeing the Heavyweight title. Shaking his head, Cross walks over, grabbing the belt, and make his way around the ring, and up the ramp. }

Vasco Dias: “Xavier Cross, what a coward!”

Terri Morasco: “Blade turned his back first, what loyalty does he need to show?”

{ Cross turns, watching the carnage down at the ring. Looking down at the title, then at Ryan Blade. The big screen behind him lights up, as we see security footage of Cable Arcane, and Gjenrei. They’re pulling down the security gate from the backstage to the entrance, as the screen goes black. Next we see honorbound charging down to the ring, various objects in their hands. }

Vasco Dias: “This doesn’t look good...at all…”

Terri Morasco: “Look at what they have….”

SEGMENT

The Death of Xavier Cross

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

{The crowd boo wildly as Killian Creed holds his new Man of Steel championship in the air.}

Spike Kane: Tonight. I give justice to a traitor....in times they would take their heads...put them on pikes, let the world see what happens to those who cross their king....however, this is MY Empire! This is my rule...I would prefer to put their pain on display....

{Creed throws a wrap of barbed wire, Honorbound has a large board and nails and shit. They start laying into Blade, who is just out. Cross stands there and watches.}

Spike Kane: Cross, you have a front row seat. I only imagined Blade would become weak under you, but it sickens me that he became so...pathetic in his time with me. A false champion, a waste of talent! When you can't train dogs, much like when they become rabid.....you put them down or else it comes back to bite you. But maybe you'd like to come down? Come on down and say goodbye to your little apprentice, have yourself a moment....Oh, here's an idea. Maybe give him a message to deliver to your wife, since I'll be sending him straight to hell very soon!

{Cross drops the belt as Spike laughs sadistically in the ring. He storms the ring and slides straight to Spike slamming fists into the face and chest of the Imperial Champion. Spike punches back, but Cross is livid, firing rights and lefts at Creed, Cable, and Gjenrei, before going back to Spike. He's going crazy, before the numbers game catches up to him and The Empire begin to beat him down. Spike picks his microphone back up, he looks at Blade thinking of what to do next, but shakes his head. He motions for Creed to handcuff Blade to the corner and instead turns his gaze upon Xavier Cross.}

Spike Kane: Cross, you're such a fool. Riled but such simple words...you want to be the hero, you want to be a martyr for the Rebellion? I'll do you one better. I will make you a martyr! You will be the victim of my vengeance! Show the world how cruel I am, how as King of these people, as God of this world. That I rule with an iron fist! 

{The screen flips to the backstage area where we see several superstars trying to break through the barrier dropped by HonorBound, and in the lockeroom of the Rebellion we see Alex Jones and Rob Diamond out cold, before we flick back to the ring. At this point Honorbound are dragging Cross to the outside. Sitting him down on the steps, back to the ring post. Suddenly, out of nowhere the crowd errupt as Lance Ryan comes rushing through the crowd and hopping the security barrier.}

Vasco Dias: Holy shitballs, that's Lance Ryan!

Terri Morasco: The man who fought Spike last time he headed the Empire! Business is about to pick up.

Vasco Dias: Looks like Cross has a savior

{Lance climps up the stairs, a kendo stick at hand. Cable, Gjenrei, and Creed are all ready to jump Lance, but Spike shakes his head putting his hands up mouthing to them all "He's mind" Lance climbs into the ring, and stands face to face with Spike Kane. The tension can be felt throughout the ring, the two men who carried nCw during it's time of strife now standing opposite each other. Lance takes the microphone off of Spike Kane.}

Lance Ryan: Spike.....it's been six years since we did this dance, and here you are at it again. Taking the innocent and forcing them to send your messages to those who would stand opposed to you. I've watched from a distance as you alienated your friends, your allies, and as you slowly tightened your grip on this federation. I've fought against the Empire before.....I've fought you head on Spike....and I lost.

{The crowd boo wildly as Lance reminds them of what happened between the two, with Spike emerging victorious.}

Lance Ryan: But I learned a valuable lesson during that time Spike. A lesson you yourself learned when you joined the Age of the Revolution.....if you can't beat them?

Terri Morasco: Oh dear god no.

Vasco Dias: This can't be happening!

Lance Ryan: Join them!

{Inside the ring Spike grins wildly as Lance Ryan extends his arms and the two give each other a brief hug, before Lance turns and starts signalling to the rest of the Empire to continue what they were doing. They tie Xavier Cross' biceps and forearms to the board with the barb wire, which is inside the ring, but on the otherside of the pole, whilst Spike Kane is making a crown of barbed wire. Lance Ryan steps on the board forcing the barbs harder into Cross's arms as Spike talks.}

Spike Kane: You want to be so special Cross, you want these people to love you? It won't happen Cross, because they hate me, more than they will ever love you...but for tonight, I'll let Cross, King of the Fools wear the crown!

{Spike then proceeds to drag this crown of barbed wire across Xavier's face, opening up massive wounds. Lance then catches him in the gut with the kendo stick.  At this point, Honorbound are about to pull the steps away. Spike tells them to stop.}

Spike Kane: No...we have one step before we let this man hang...Creed, if you will? Grab me a hammer...

{Cross leans down, picking up two nail/spikes type things. He exits the ring, extending Cross's left hand whilst Lance Ryan does the same with the right hand.}

Spike Kane: The left hand, Alex Jones...A man who could have had it all, stood at my side like a demi-god, but instead stands with the fools. Let this be notice to him, and anyone else who is too ignorant to my mercy..

{Spike drives the nail into Cross's hand, Cross lets out a blood curdling scream.}

Spike Kane: The right hand, Rob Diamond, my brother of war...The first betrayer, maybe I was too easy on him? Instead, Xavier Cross, you will die for his sins...

{Spike drives the nail into the right hand...}

Spike Kane: Now let this be a reminder. I am Spike Kane. This is my kingdom, this is my world! I allow you to live it in, I end you when I feel you are no longer useful...Xavier Cross, King of Fools, Matyr of the Mindless...sweet Xavier...

{Spike Kane kicks the steps away, and Cross's legs drop, creating the Crucifix. The crowd are stunned into silence, even Terri and Vasco are unable to find their words. The screen flickers to the backstage area again where the entire roster are gathered staring at the screens mouths open and blank eyes. One or two of the Diamonds are a little too upset and some tears are beginning to flow, before we cut back to the ring where Spike Kane has grabbed a camera, now flanked by Cable Arcane, Gjenrei, Killian Creed, and Lance Ryan!}

Spike Kane: Say goodbye to this world Cross, to your children...I'm sure they're watching right now, sobbing...say goodbye to 'em Daddy. You're not going home..., to the rest of you peasants? This is what happens when you cross the King, when you insult my reign I will crush each and every one of you until there is nothing left but obedience, and The Empire. All bloody hail!

{Cross spits blood at Spike, still writhing in agony and screaming bloody murder. Spike simply laughs and stands in the center of the ring raising one fist into the air, the rest of the Empire follow suit and we fade on the image of the new Empire member, the image of the crucified Xavier Cross, his head hanging, blood flowing from his hands, and face. The camera zooms into Xavier, with the Empire over his shoulder, standing in victory. As the screen fades to black.}
