{The camera comes on to Dean sitting in a VIP suite with his young son Damien Harper and his dog surrounded by food while Dean has his leg propped up in a knee brace, Ella Kelley is standing by with a microphone smiling.}Ella Kelley: Hi Dean, thank you for joining us today. It’s great to have you here.
Dean Harper: Thanks, Ella. I wouldn't miss night two of Night of the immortals for the world. Get to watch the Joker in the Pack, watch two pencil pushers beat the shit out of each other, see the women's world title match and you know the men's world title match. Gonna be a hell of a night.
Ella Kelley: So, Dean, the big match is coming up between your ... I guess not so estranged husband Warren and Caleb Canin. What are your thoughts on this matchup?
Dean Harper: It’s going to be an intense battle, that’s for sure. Warren has been training hard and is in peak form. I tried to fuck him up but he bounced back pretty well. Caleb is a tough opponent, but I have full confidence in Warren’s abilities.
Ella Kelley: You’re here with a knee brace. Can you tell us what happened?
Dean Harper: You saw the match with Warren. It's fine, just taking some extra care as the Doctor ordered. I’m on the mend. It’s just a part of the sport, and you learn to deal with these things over time.
Ella Kelley: Absolutely. With your experience as a former world champion, what advice have you given Warren leading up to this match?
Dean Harper: I’ve told him to stay focused and to trust his training. He’s worked incredibly hard, and he just needs to stick to his game plan. Also, to stay calm and composed, no matter what Caleb throws at him.
Ella Kelley: Caleb Canin is known for his aggressive style. How do you think Warren will handle that?
Dean Harper: Warren is one of the smartest competitors in the ring. He knows how to adapt and counteract aggressive tactics. I believe his strategy will be to wear Caleb down and take advantage of any openings.
Ella Kelley: That sounds like a solid plan. Do you have any predictions for the match?
Dean Harper: I believe in Warren. If he executes his plan and stays focused, I think he’ll come out on top.
Ella Kelley: We’re all looking forward to an exciting match. Thanks for your time, Dean, and best of luck to Warren. This is Ella Kelley, signing off. Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable match between Warren Harper and Caleb Canin.

{ The Roman crowd is in an uproar as we’re still anticipating the start of the very first match for night two of Night of the Immortals – the cameras shift to another backstage area, where the plaque reads simply: SAVAGE KINGDOM. The door swings open, and Madjinn is the first to emerge from the doorframe followed closely by his girlfriend Brandy Cvetkova, The Black Widow – they both step out for enough from the door frame before Madjinn finally turns. }Madjinn: You’re going to come out there, right? It’s imperative that Savage Kingdom gets that briefcase!
{ Madjinn exclaims, putting extra emphasis on the upcoming Joker in the Pack match. Stephen Terrella is seen beyond the door with Portia beside him, and he walks to the door frame just as well. }Stephen Terrella: Yeah, I'll be there. I'll throw a few hands, toss a couple motherfuckers around while you climb the ladder. It’s a sure thing.
{ Stephen answers with as much confidence as Madjinn has had in himself. }Stephen Terrella: Just gonna go have a smoke, then I’ll be heading out that way.
{ He starts patting his side and realizes his cigarettes aren’t on him. }Stephen Terrella: They must be in my bag.
{ The opening ceremony can be heard ringing throughout the backstage area, as Night of the Immortals is about to get underway…Madjinn bumps fists with Stephen Terrella. }Madjinn: I’ll see you out there.
{ Stephen Terrella walks back into the locker room, closing the door behind him – meanwhile, Madjinn and The Black Widow walk through the hallways, Madjinn cracking his neck as he walks down the hallway. The camera watches them until they turn the corner, and then turns it’s attention back to the doorway – a loud beeping can be heard in the opposite direction, and suddenly a forklift drives onto the scene! With some careful maneuvering, Nick Danger is seen in the driver seat blocking off the Savage Kingdom door! The door that opens outward start shaking, and Stephen Terrella can be heard on the other side. }Stephen Terrella: What– WHAT THE FUCK?!
{ The door starts shaking violently, as if he would rip the door open…but it proves to be a sturdy door, as Nick Danger stands there and laughs about the situation. }Nick Danger: I’ll be back to get you later!
Stephen Terrella: DANGER?! LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
{ Nick Danger takes the keys from the forklift, and continues laughing under his breath as the scenery starts fading out. }Vasco Dias: How the hell did he get a license to operate a forklift?!

JOKER IN THE PACK
2000 Word LimitAllen Chaney vs. Madjinn vs. Tytus Rost vs. Cyrus Daniels vs. Pax Stormcrow vs. Roberto Verona
—---------------------------------------------
{ The crowd turns its attention toward the entrance area as a lion roar echoes throughout the arena. They continue to watch as the drumbeat of "Tired of Winning" begins and from behind the curtain steps the hulking figure of Tytus Rost, his face like carved granite as he stares with cold eyes down to the ring. }Alison Valance:: Making his way to the ring, weighing three hundred and four pounds … from Norilsk, Siberia … The Russian Lion … Tytus … Rost!
{ Rost’s upper lip curls in a sneer as he begins to move with purpose down the ramp. Making it to the ring, Tytus stands on the floor for a beat before leaping up to the apron in a show of agility for a man his size. He wipes his boots on the outside ring apron before stepping in through the ropes and walks with purpose to the center of the ring. }Vasco Dias: I do love The Russian Lion, Terri, but you have to ask yourself if this is really the type of match the lion wants to be in! He’s powerful. He’s strong. But how fast can he get up a ladder?
Terri Morasco: I think he could potentially knock everyone out and climb that ladder quite fast. He’s got the power. He’s got the speed. You know it’s all there!
{ The tron fills with lightning as static comes over the speakers. Slowly each current of electricity on the tron fizzles out until the word 'Skoden' (And the logo for Prairie Fiber remains in the lower right corner) At the sight of the unofficial war cry of Pax appears on the tron the audience roars into cheers as the opening rhythm of Stadium Pow wow thrums through the air.
As the singers kick into the song he pumps his fist in the air along with them before bounding down the ramp as the bass drops. He slaps hands with fans along the ramp as he makes his way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.
He makes a circle around the ring, arms pumping to work the crowd up before he jumps onto the second turnbuckle, lifting the hood of his coat back and looking up to the ceiling as he basks in the cheers from the crowd. He jumps down from the turnbuckle, shrugging out of his coat and handing it off to the staff before moving into his corner to crouch down in preparation for the match to begin }Vasco Dias: I can’t believe Pax somehow got into this!
Terri Morasco: Pax Stormcrow is a surefire favorite to win this whole thing! He is the 2023 Heir to the Throne, and I have to say, after everything that has transpired to get us to this very event…you have to imagine that he can’t wait to get his hands on CyTus!
Vasco Dias: They’re just gonna throw him around like they did Nate Harris and Jack Ferriman!
{ "Man In The Box" by Like A Storm hits. Cyrus Daniels walks to the ring with a purpose and a length of chain draped around his neck. 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. Cyrus 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 as he removes the chain and hands it off to a stagehand. }Vasco Dias: And this is why Pax Stormcrow is not going to have a chance in hell of walking out with this briefcase! He’s got Cyrus on one side! He’s got Tytus on the other! And I don’t think he can put those differences aside to get the briefcase!
Terri Morasco: But you have to keep in mind that there are three other people in the ring.
{ While Pax, Cyrus, and Tytus all await inside of the ring, and the crowd murmuring loudly amongst themselves… The fog machine starts whirring, and fog fills the stage before the lights even go out, but they finally flicker before leaving the stadium in darkness. You hear the opening piano of “I’m Good (Blue)” by David Guetta & Bebe Rexha beginning to play. The Roman crowd immediately starts resonating boos directed for the upcoming entrant. }Vasco Dias: No! NO! Stop it! You can’t boo him! HE IS THE MAD PRINCE! STOP IT!
I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fucking night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright
'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fucking night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright{ The opening chorus comes to a close, and the lights fade momentarily…the moment the bass kicks in, just a couple of seconds later, the alternating pink and blue strobe lights flash across the stadium, and two spotlights encircle the arena before finally landing on the center of the stage – Madjinn is the first to emerge from the mist, wearing the pink button up shirt with a pinstripe jacket complete with coattails over it, and a tophat with an “M'' stamped in the middle of the band of the hat. Completed with loose pinstripe pants, the primary color being black and the pinstripes being pink. The camera zooms in on The Mad Prince, sporting a smirk on his face – there is a faint white foundation of make-up on his face, the heavy eye shadow with an “XV” painted under his left eye. He scours the Roman crowd basking in whatever they want to give him – cheers, jeers, or anything in-between, and he cocks his head to the side giving a “toodles” wave to the three men already in the ring. Madjinn holds a wide stance whilst slowly turning his head from side to side. }Vasco Dias: Do you think these men understand just who they’re getting in the ring with?!
Terri Morasco: I’m sure they have an idea–
Vasco Dias: They’re gonna be in the ring with THE MASTER MANIPULATOR! THE MAD PRINCE! MADJINN! I don’t think they can fully fathom how far their odds of winning have dropped!
{ Coming out from the mist second, crawling on her hands and knees is “The Black Widow” Brandy Cvetkova…one hand in front of the other, and one knee in front of the other, she crawls seductively forward until she crawls underneath Madjinn, where she finally stops and sits up – Madjinn grabs her by the hair, giving a rough pull that only seems to excite her. He traces his fingers down the curve of her body while brushing his lips against her neck, but the yellow eyes gaze forward at the three men inside of the ring…he still smirks until Brandy springs to her feet, and she turns as the two lock lips atop the stage while the music continues to play in the background. With some heavy and sensual touching included. }Vasco Dias: It might be time to send the kiddos to bed, Terri.
{ They finally break their kiss, and Madjinn with a pep in his step walks down the ramp with The Black Widow directly behind him… }Alison Valance:: Ladies and gentlemen! ON HIS WAY TO THE RING! HE! IS! THEEEEE MAAAAAD PPPPPRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNCCCCCEEEEE! MAAAAADDDDDJIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
{ Madjinn throws his arms out, soaking in more of the crowd's energy. He stops at the ladders that decorate the outside of the ring, and trails a fingertip across the metallic surface before finally crouching down and walking underneath not one, not two, but three ladders! Madjinn shows off his own athleticism at the bottom of the ring by jumping onto the ring apron while standing still, and smiles at everyone inside of the ring while unbuttoning his dress shirt – he drops his arms to his side and shrugs off his jacket, where The Black Widow takes it up and wraps it around herself, while the shirt then falls. Madjinn takes the hat and just flings it as if it were a frisbee to the audience and despite their loathing against The Mad Prince, they still fight for the souvenir. }Vasco Dias: The giver of gifts, Terri! You should show him some more respect.
Terri Morasco: He used to come out here and fight his own battles, and I could respect that! I didn’t always like how far he took things, but I respected that he fought his own battles! Now he has The Black Widow coming out here stealing wins for him.
Vasco Dias: AS A MERCY! People don’t always realize when they’re beaten, and she’s just there to GRANT! THEM! MERCY!
{ Madjinn walks over to one of the empty turnbuckles before climbing up from the ring apron to the top turnbuckle, and then starts walking along the rope, all while keeping his gaze toward the three men inside of the ring… The music finally fades, and the lights return to normal, as we await our next entrant. }Vasco Dias: Since Roberto Verona has already said he has no intention of winning here tonight, this is the favorite!
Terri Morasco: You are entitled to your opinion there, Vasco.
{ The cameras suddenly go backstage. The roar for the Roman crowd is heard resonating throughout the backstage area… We go inside another one of the locker rooms; Jennie Fenix and Allen Chaney are sitting inside of the locker room, Jennie already rambling on and on as the scenery fades into place. }Terri Morasco: The IWF Women’s World Champion is already in the house, and you have to imagine that she’s going to be paying close attention to our opening contest as her fiancé, Allen Chaney, is looking to walk out with the Joker in the Pack!
Jennie Fenix: …so, like– really, babe, you need to be careful out there! I mean, really, you’re going against these two juggernauts…and my nephew, and y’know how I feel about him? Like–
{ She clears her throat, and brushes her hair back behind her ears. }Jennie Fenix: Do what you gotta do, I wouldn’t ever ask you to do anything less! But…you know? You know. And, well, y’know, I can’t really be out there getting myself in your business, ‘cause you know, this is like our jobs, our business, and like, well, I have to worry a little bit more about this Charlie girl. Do you think she’s hurting after last week? That match looked like it took a little bit out of here, and it’s like, I don’t want to hear excuses from her, y’know? She seems like the type that’s going to make excuses, but then probably turn around and be like
NUH UH! I DIDN’T SAY THAT! But it’s like– it’s on camera, girl? What the eff?!
{ All the while, Allen is trying to get a word in…we still hear the opening ceremonies going on from the arena area at this particular time. }Jennie Fenix: AND HEY!
{ Jennie grabs something from her bag. A sack that she holds out for Allen. }Jennie Fenix: Take this with you! It might be quite useful.
Allen Chaney: What’s in it?
Jennie Fenix: Should you need it–
{ Jennie says with a nod. }Jennie Fenix: You’ll find out.
{ Allen shrugs, and tucks the sack into his pocket. }Allen Chaney: Anyways–
Jennie Fenix: AND if you could–
Allen Chaney: LISTEN TO ME!
{ Jennie gasps, almost astonished that Allen Chaney raised his voice…not in an aggressive manner, but boldly. }Allen Chaney: How do you feel about September 18th?
Jennie Fenix: For?
Allen Chaney: Getting married?
Jennie Fenix: Wait, are you setting the date?!
Allen Chaney: I’m setting the date.
Jennie Fenix: September 18th?!
Allen Chaney: September 18th.
Jennie Fenix: The 18th of September?!
Allen Chaney: The 18th of September.
Jennie Fenix: As in the ninth month of the year, and the eighteenth day?!
Allen Chaney: No. I mean… wait.
Allen takes a second to count to 9 on his fingers, muttering the names of months under his breath starting at January.
Allen Chaney: Yes. Let’s get married then. If that’s okay, I mean. That’s enough time, right? I mean if that’s not enough time we can figure out another date I just figured the fall would be cool because weather won’t be too hot and I imagine I’ll get sweaty and I don’t want to be too sweaty if it’s and outdoor wedding and I know we haven’t decided that yet either but-
Jennie Fenix: …THE EIGHTEENTH?!
{ Jennie takes several deep breaths, composing herself, and Allen continues mumbling a little bit while answering until Jennie finally fixes herself. }Jennie Fenix: That’s plenty of time! It’s plenty of time! But like– oohhhhh, I need bridesmaids, and I need a bouquet, and I need– well, I’ve been looking at venues. A CASTLE?! How about a castle?!
{ A short gasp. }Jennie Fenix: We should get married at a castle!
Allen Chaney: I could see doing a castle. Can I wear a kilt or is that too far?
Jennie Fenix: You can totally wear a kilt!
Allen Chaney: Might wear a kilt then. Hey, do you wanna make out until my music hits?
Jennie Fenix: I have a better idea.
{ She gets Allen to stand up, and starts unfastening his belt, but he stops her. }Allen Chaney: I don’t think we have time for all that!
Jennie Fenix: Oh, fine!
Allen Chaney: And Chuck right there is still recording us.
{ He says and gestures to the camera. }Jennie Fenix: But when you get back!
{ She gives a loud smack on his ass. An actual blush creeps across the face of the Fountain City Funnyman. }Allen Chaney: Hopefully it’ll be celebratory. I should probably get to Gorilla, though. Hey… fuckin love you.
{ Allen kisses Jen on the forehead. It’s cute. Jennie giggles a bit, getting giddy. Just then, “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” starts playing over the PA. }Jennie Fenix: Ditto.
{ Jennie answers teasingly. }Jennie Fenix: Knock ‘em dead!
{ Allen turns and starts walking through the halls as the camera fades back out to the arena. The Richard Pryor quote followed by the piano intro of ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’ plays and Allen emerges from the curtain. }‘Ooh, baby, I like it raw x4’{ Allen stops and looks around the crowd with a smirk until there is a change in attitude. He leans down to slam his fists on the ramp before popping up to release what can only be described as a roar. }'Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, bon voyage
Yeah, from the home of the Dodgers, Brooklyn squad’{ Allen walks down the ramp, stopping every few steps to talk to fans about how his opponent has no clue what they're in for or how they smell like baked milk or how he saw them changing backstage and one of their testicles is comically bigger than the other. }‘Wu-Tang Killer Bees on a swarm
Rain on ya college ass, disco dorm
For you to even touch my skill
You gotta have the one killer Bee and he ain't gonna kill now
Chop that down, pass it all around
Lyrics get hard, quick cement to the ground
For any MC in any 52 states
I get psycho killer, Norman Bates'{ Allen marches up the ring steps and enters the ring, giving the referee a friendly pat on the back before going to his corner and sitting down focused but also kind of vibing to his own music. }Vasco Dias: YOU CAN’T SET A DATE WHILE MAKING YOUR ENTRANCE!
Terri Morasco: I mean, there’s a lot of things you can’t do during an entrance, and I think “setting the date” was probably the least of our worries!
Vasco Dias: Roberto Verona is coming out next, and I can’t wait to watch him make Allen Chaney PAAAAAAYYYYY for everything he’s done in this whole temper tantrum of his!
Terri Morasco: With as close as it was, I can’t blame him for being upset.
Vasco Dias: Here we go!
Terri Morasco: It’s almost time for the Joker in the Pack but we’re not done yet!
{ The opening section of Baldur’s Gate III “Main Theme” begins to play, reverberating around the arena as a live orchestra provides the vocals. Light begin to flash along with the drumbeats and each time the stage is lit up larger number of members of Verona’s Legion can be seen marching out. Finally, Verona is pulled out onto the main stage atop a white and gold chariot by four horses, dressed in full Romanimperial regalia and crowned with a golden laurel. The horses stop at the top of the stage as the final beats of the music hit a crescendo before cutting to silence, leaving us only with the noise of a sold-out arena. Roberto stands with his eyes closed for a moment before finally “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps erupts from the speakers and he jumps off the chariot. He removes his toga and cape and passes them to a member of Legion before likewise doing the same with his laurel. Verona begins to march down the ramp flanked on either side by seemingly endless numbers of members of his Legion before stopping just at the bottom. As Verona stares into the ring, Legion continue to march before they eventually completely surround the ring. Roberto looks around at the crowd before lifting himself up onto the apron where he turns to face them, holding his arms out wide as he basks in the atmosphere at the biggest night of the year. Vasco Dias: Finally, we are honoured with greatness! For the first time in over two years the man who pays all of our bills is going to step inside an IWF ring!
Terri Morasco: Could you please be serious?
Vasco Dias: I’m deadly serious, these morons should remember who created the platform they’re about to enjoy.
{ Verona turns to look at the five other competitors in the ring, silently shooting them glares which translate enough for them to comprehend, with Chaney looking back at him with pure hated, evoking a little smile from the boss. } Vasco Dias: Looks like we’ve got adequate protection here tonight, Morasco. Fitting after what so many of these animals have done to IWF personnel.
Terri Morasco: I have a feeling their purpose tonight is far from protecting us…
{ At the sound of the bell, Pax Stormcrow is the first one to push off of his heel, making a mad dash toward Tytus Rost and Cyrus Daniels! The two big men join arms to attempt to take down the former hopeful olympian, but he ducks under and comes back with a double clothesline of his own – the impact and aim is precise, and Pax is able to take both of the big men down. At the same time as Pax takes the fight to Tytus and Cyrus, Allen Chaney rushes for Roberto Verona and sends him toppling to the outside of the ring with a cactus clothesline. Legion stands outside of the ring, taking a step back as a way to reassure they aren’t going to intervene. The Mad Prince just takes a step back to watch the carnage unfolding in front of him, and leans back against the corner to watch all of the action…
The fire ignited inside of Pax fuels him to continue throwing everything he has at Cyrus and Tytus, and he’s able to keep them both at bay – outside of the ring now, Allen and Roberto continue trading strikes with each other…the two battle closer to the crowd, going along the barricade. }Terri Morasco: You can see the bad blood between all of these men, as they went straight for each other! Pax Stormcrow is fighting like a man on a mission against Cyrus and Tytus, and Allen Chaney– well, he is a man on a mission and it looks like he’s getting the upper hand against Roberto Verona.
Vasco Dias: You’re forgetting one very important man in that ring. THE MAD PRINCE!
Terri Morasco: The Mad Prince, Madjinn, yes; he’s just watching– but wait– it looks like Brandy is trying to get his attention…
{ Crouching down in the corner, Madjinn turns his head towards his girlfriend as she is slipping one of the ladders under the bottom rope…Being brought back to what matters in this match, Madjinn picks up the ladder and sets it up in the center of the ring, being mindful for perfect positioning. }Terri Morasco: While everyone else is distracted, Madjinn is going to steal this one away!
Vasco Dias: That’s the match, Terri! It’s not stealing – it’s being smart! Keep your eyes on the prize!
{ The crowd is in an uproar at all of the carnage going on throughout the Stadio Olimpico. Allen Chaney ducks under a strike from Roberto Verona, and raises him up and drops him down with a back body drop, dropping him on the barricade! Roberto Verona howls out in pain, managing to remain on his feet as comes down and tries to walk off the pain. The Black Widow urges Madjinn up the ladder, and he starts his way up. Tytus is able to catch Pax with a good elbow, and then he and Cyrus start battering him down to his hands and knees; ever-resilient, Pax is trying to get up but to no avail…he knows he has no choice but to escape the ring, and he does. }Terri Morasco: Madjinn is just a couple more steps away from the briefcase, but Cyrus and Tytus spotted him!
Vasco Dias: Don’t do anything drastic!
{ The Black Widow’s hops onto the apron, pointing and calling out Cyrus and Tytus as they near the ladder, but Madjinn has nowhere to go when Cyrus and Tytus grab the ladder — they start lifting it up, aiming to send Madjinn to the outside of the ring! Madjinn looks to ready himself atop the ladder, and at the last second, is able to land atop the rope and springboard back catching Cyrus with a springboard enzuigiri! The crowd pops over the athleticism despite his despicable behavior, and The Mad Prince springs to his feet and takes the fight right to Tytus now – the crowd continues going crazy after the spot they just witnessed! The Black Widow drops from the ring apron, and claps for Madjinn as well as the entire audience whooping. }Terri Morasco: OH! WHAT THE…?!
Vasco Dias: Impeccable timing! And that’s why he’s THE MAD PRINCE!
{ Back outside of the ring, Allen Chaney is looking to close the gap between himself and Roberto Verona who clutches his back, still in pain.
Madjinn runs to the far ropes to come back with a shotgun front dropkick that knocks Tytus off-balance and he tumbles back and falls between the top and middle ropes to the outside! Tytus goes right into Allen Chaney, buying Roberto Verona some time. The crowd pops for the momentum that The Mad Prince is gaining. }Terri Morasco: Like– I can’t believe what we just saw there, and Madjinn could be well on his way to ending this fast!
Crowd: You can’t kill him!
{ Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. }Crowd: You can’t kill him!
{ Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. }Crowd: You can’t kill him!
{ Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. }Crowd: You can’t kill him!
{ Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. }Crowd: You can’t kill him!
{ Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. }Vasco Dias: And there’s that chant!
{ Inside of the ring, Madjinn flips off the crowd – outside of the ring, The Black Widow starts digging into Pax’s eyes with her nails, as the crowd quickly turns back against Madjinn. Inside of the ring again, and Cyrus is back to his feet, and he’s looking to get his hands on The Mad Prince, but Madjinn is still swinging. }Vasco Dias: He’s not going down without a fight–
{ Cyrus is able to drive a knee to Madjinn’s midsection with enough power behind it to drive the air out of him. With a handful of The Mad Prince’s hair, Cyrus flings Madjinn out of the ring between the ropes and straight into the mass of people! Cyrus glances back at the ladder that is still toppled over inside of the ring, and then back at the carnage, and then back at the ladder.
Outside of the ring, Allen Chaney pulls Tytus Rost back to his feet and starts pummeling him down…Pax Stormcrow stands back up, and joins Allen in fighting against Tytus. Madjinn leans against the announce table, taking a moment to recuperate – Cyrus slips out of the ring to help Tytus in his fight while Allen and Pax join forces against the bigger men! Roberto Verona has circled the entire ring, and comes back around… }Terri Morasco: This action has spilled out right in front of us!
Vasco Dias: It’s much too early to lose our table!
{ With the crowd behind them, Allen Chaney and Pax Stormcrow are gaining an edge against CyTus – Pax Stormcrow manages to sail Tytus with a belly-to-belly suplex into the barricade, and Allen Chaney with a superkick to Cyrus Daniels! Roberto demands the timekeeper get up, and then takes up his steel chair, smacking Allen in the back with it! Allen cringes from the shot, as Roberto gestures he turns around and brings down another chair shot hard enough to dent the seat as it connects against Allen – Allen was able to raise an arm to absolve some of the blow, but still took a shot to the head. }Terri Morasco: Roberto Verona has been targeting Allen Chaney this entire match, and now that CyTus was able to distract him, Roberto took the opportunity to strike him down!
{ Pax turns on his heels to see Roberto, and Roberto eggs on Allen for a moment – it looks like Pax is about to get some revenge for Allen, but Roberto decks Pax with the steel chair as well! }Vasco Dias: And there goes Pax!
{ Pax goes down after the chair shot, as Madjinn pushes himself to his feet, using the table as a back support to pull himself up – he and Roberto Verona lock eyes momentarily, Roberto still holding the chair in hand. }Vasco Dias: Roberto Verona could knock out The Mad Prince right here!
{ Verona and Madjinn seem to talk momentarily, before Verona makes a subtle gesture – he stands back, and Madjinn re-enters the ring without any opposition. }Terri Morasco: What the…?
Vasco Dias: Mr. Verona has said that he does not intend on winning this match, and this must mean he has no qualms with Madjinn taking it! Climb the ladder, champ! Climb it!
{ Madjinn fixes the ladder back in the center of the ring with The Black Widow clapping her hands against the ring apron to cheer her man on.
Outside of the ring, Roberto Verona closes the distance back to Allen Chaney with the chair in hand – Legion stands nearby at this point, but still far enough back to ensure they aren’t going to get involved… Using the ring skirt to pull himself back to a standing base, Allen Chaney is up, and Roberto Verona is looking for a conchairto to Allen’s head against the steel post! ALLEN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! The crowd roars to life when Allen is able to get out of the way, and he unloads a series of strikes against Verona causing him to drop the chair in the meantime…members of the Legion look ready to get involved, but are holding each other back, and Allen Chaney hits Verona with SMOOTH ELBOWS!
All the while, Madjinn has the ladder in perfect position, and is starting to climb.
Tytus and Cyrus are both getting to their feet at the same time as Pax Stormcrow.
Allen takes Verona down with a well-placed bionic elbow that knocks Verona on the top of his skull! And Allen slides into the ring, shooting his way up the ladder right as Madjinn is reaching the top – one shot to the gut, and Madjinn gets the wind knocked out of him; despite this, he keeps his hand up in an attempt to bring down the briefcase, but Allen then grabs his head and slams it against the top of the ladder! The Black Widow on the outside doesn’t look too happy as she snarls toward Allen.
At the same time on the outside of the ring, Cyrus and Tytus take Pax back down with a double clothesline that sends him toppling over the announce table! Both Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco move out of the way as Pax lands atop their chairs, and then Cyrus gestures for Tytus to re-enter the ring to slow down Allen and Madjinn, while he searches under the ring for some added arsenal. }Vasco Dias: PAX STORMCROW! He just– he interrupted our broadcast!
Terri Morasco: I don’t think that was his intent, Vasco! But either way, we have Allen and Madjinn battling on top of the ladder, and CyTus is back in action and now Tytus is entering the ring – it looks like he’s gonna knock that ladder over! What’s Cyrus looking for, though?
{ After a period of time, Cyrus Daniels finally brings out a table! He’s not done there, and continues to unload more from under the ring… A SECOND TABLE! Still not done, though, and Cyrus finally brings out a steel chain; he wraps it around his hand and holds his hand up for a moment to showboat to the crowd. Tytus manages to knock the ladder over - both Madjinn and Allen land across the top ropes, Madjinn around his midsection, and Allen around his collar. Madjinn tumbles the rest of the way to the outside of the ring, while Allen is a little banged up from the landing. Tytus grabs Allen by the wrist and looks to sling him across the ring, but Allen pulls Tytus in for a SCOOP SLAM! In perfect positioning, Allen steps up to the second ring on the ladder, and does a moonsault! He then goes to the fourth ring on the ladder, and does another moonsault! And finally up to the sixth ring on the ladder, AND ANOTHER MOONSAULT! }Terri Morasco: THE W-T-F-F-F-F!
{ While Allen Chaney celebrates briefly, Cyrus slides back into the ring and catches Allen with a haymaker with the steel chain! }Terri Morasco: I’m surprised Allen Chaney is still standing!
Vasco Dias: I don’t think he’s all there, Terri.
{ Stumbling after the punch, and looks like he could topple over, he steps over Tytus and goes into the corner – Cyrus follows in with a heavy clothesline that causes Allen to kick upward as the impact hits! Cyrus looks toward Tytus for a brief moment, as Tytus is holding his sternum after having the three-hundred-plus pound Allen Chaney land on him three times. Tytus sneers as he gets to his feet, and rushes Allen Chaney with a series of BLACKOUT! The forearms, high elbows, and body shots batter and bruise Allen Chaney, causing him to fall backward – Cyrus watches on with a smile, while also pulling the ladder back up.
Back near the announce table, Pax Stormcrow is coming back around.
On the other side of the ring, The Black Widow is tending to The Mad Prince. The Mad Prince crawls over to the barricade and leans against it with The Black Widow kneeling beside him – she pulls something from her pocket and as the camera angles around it’s unveiled to be a cigarette…she holds out a lighter, and Madjinn takes in a long drag while against the barricade. }Terri Morasco: Is he smoking? During a match?!
Vasco Dias: Smoke break. Ever heard of ‘em?
{ Roberto Verona gets back up, holding his head after eating the corner of Allen’s elbow – he peeks over the ring apron to watch some of the action.
Inside of the ring, Cyrus has the ladder in perfect position – Tytus flings Allen over the top rope heading to an empty side of the outside with relative ease, then turns around to see Cyrus putting his hands on the ladder with clear intent of climbing…Tytus walks over and grabs the ladder, pulling it back. Cyrus smirks and gives a tug on the ladder back. }Terri Morasco: You have to keep in mind that there can only be one winner, and I think that’s starting to set in for CyTus!
Vasco Dias: I don’t like what’s happening here…
{ Cyrus and Tytus tug on the ladder, and they seem to be talking amongst each other – each tug gets more and more forceful, until The Russian Lion finally shoves the ladder toward Cyrus! Tytus tosses their partnership aside and starts unloading on Cyrus with the combination of BLACKOUT! Cyrus attempts to block some of the shots, but to no avail, but even after the combination of strikes from Tytus, Cyrus starts firing with a combination of his own! The crowd goes crazy for the two big men duking it out! }Vasco Dias: It’s like Godzilla and King Kong!
Terri Morasco: And this crowd loves it!
{ While they battle inside of the ring, Pax Stormcrow is searching under the ring where he pulls out a tin trash can – Roberto Verona is right there to catch him with a stiff kick, and Pax drops the trash can, as Roberto slams his head down onto the ring apron! Pax’s head pops up, dazed, and Roberto then fires in with a knife edge chops lighting up Pax’s chest! Pax fires with an overhand chop against Roberto, and the two start trading back and forth.
On the other side, still outside of the ring, The Black Widow helps Madjinn recover. He hands her the cigarette, to which she takes a drag, and moves toward the ring skirt – he starts searching under the ring for something of his own to bring to the ring…he pulls out a bat wrapped in barbed wire, and instructs The Black Widow to continue searching under the ring for more…
The ladder inside of the ring has toppled over, and the crowd pops when Tytus Rost musters the strength to sail Cyrus Daniels over with a belly-to-belly suplex landing right on top of it! Tytus springs back to his feet and roars out for the audience whilst Cyrus clutches his back in pain! }Vasco Dias: That whole ring shook on that landing!
Terri Morasco: Cyrus is not a small man! I can’t believe the power that Tytus has!
{ Madjinn slithers his way back into the ring, The Black Widow continues looking for objects under the ring, and Legion slowly circles the outside of the ring to merely observe – as Tytus is taking a moment to showboat, he turns toward Madjinn right as Madjinn swings the bat toward his midsection! Tytus blocks it with his hand, but immediately withdraws his hand as he feels the barbed wire tearing a bit into his hands - he shakes his hands to ignore the pain, and hits Madjinn with a standing clothesline that almost turns The Mad Prince inside out!
Outside of the ring, Roberto and Pax are still fighting back and forth – Allen rejoins the action, and is trying to help Pax get the upper hand… A good elbow from Allen sends Roberto stumbling right into PEACE OUT from Pax Stormcrow! Allen Chaney is looking to continue his assault against the COO, but Legion steps between them…Allen eyes them momentarily.
Inside of the ring, Tytus is fixing up the ladder now and setting it back in the center of the ring.
Outside of the ring, Allen and Pax look at the Legion and they look ready to start brawling – but they spot Tytus starting to climb the ladder, and slide back into the ring… Rebounding off the ropes, Allen comes back and pushes the ladder over! Tytus is able to free himself from about the halfway point of the ladder, and land back on his feet, but he and Allen start trading a few shots! Allen goes for a SMOOTH ELBOW but Tytus ducks under and sails Allen over with a belly-to-belly suplex! Pax looks to catch Tytus off-guard, but Tytus sidesteps and sends Pax into the corner! He follows in with a body splash! }Vasco Dias: Tytus Rost is hitting them all! And they’re all trying to just stop him!
Terri Morasco: The Russian Lion does seem unstoppable right about now!
{ Madjinn is back on his feet – he is dazed after eating that clothesline, but Tytus is still standing tall…Madjinn springs off of the middle rope, coming back for a crossbody! TYTUS CATCHES HIM! Tytus parades around the ring, while Madjinn flails in his arms to try and get free until Tytus takes him to the edge of the ring and flings him over with a fallaway slam to the outside of the ring! Madjinn crashes on the outside of the ring, wincing while holding his back.
Outside of the ring, The Black Widow has pulled out several more tables and set up two of them, side by side, as well as another ladder that towers over the rest of them! The ladder looks to be over half the size of the ring, and it’s a wonder how she managed to even get it out from under the ring…it almost doesn’t look like it could feasibly fit. Upon Madjinn crashing to the outside of the ring, she hurries over to check on him again.
Cyrus is back up, and he and Tytus come straight back to blows! Allen and Pax are there to try to take the fight to them, but the adrenaline pumping throughout their bodies seems to make both of them unstoppable… They swat Pax and Allen away, and continue fighting amongst themselves until they get near the ropes…there, Pax and Allen both lock arms and hit both of them with a double clothesline sending them to the outside of the ring!
Roberto Verona slides back in on the opposite side of the ring with the trash can in hand – meanwhile, Allen and Pax look at each for a brief moment; a subtle nod, and Allen takes the first swing! Pax ducks underneath, and sails Allen over with a belly-to-belly suplex! Pax kips to his feet, and Roberto flings the trash can at him as a means of distraction, and Pax is able to parry it away with his arm…Roberto charges in, and Pax ducks under an attempted clothesline to sail him over with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Tytus is back in the ring and charges for Pax, but Pax ducks under another powerful clothesline before sailing him with another GERMAN SUPLEX! Allen Chaney back to his feet, and Pax Stormcrow hits him with the PEACE OUT! Roberto Verona back up, and Pax with a belly-to-side suplex, giving Cyrus enough time to re-enter the fray – on the opposite end is Madjinn as he tries to slither his way back into the ring, a little banged up from the rough landing he had… Pax sends Cyrus with a PEACE OUT! And then turns right into a GENOCIDE KICK from Madjinn!
PAX CATCHES HIS FOOT!
He spins Madjinn around, and then PEACE OUT! Madjinn rolls back to the outside of the ring, as Pax stands dominantly inside of the ring looking for the next victim for the suplex machine! The entire crowd is going crazy for the 2023 Heir to the Throne and former World Champion! }Terri Morasco: Pax Stormcrow has cleaned house! And I can’t believe the amount of power that he put in with those suplexes, the likes of Tytus Rost! Allen Chaney! Cyrus Daniels! These are not light men, even compared to Pax, and he just took them over like they were nothing!
Vasco Dias: He’s hot right now, there’s no doubt about it, and he’s gotta capitalize as he’s the only one left standing!
{ Pax points up toward the briefcase to receive a huge pop from the crowd. The bodies are still scattered around the ring, reeling on the mat – Pax looks for the ladder, and gives it a bit of a tug to free it from under the debris…it’s a bit dented, and doesn’t look very safe anymore, but Pax opts to risk it.
Outside of the ring, still crawling and in pain, but remaining focused on the prize, Madjinn rolls around the outside of the ring and is bringing out more of an arsenal – The Black Widow assists him on the outside of the ring as more ladders come into play, none quite so large as the one that The Black Widow had brought out.
Inside of the ring, Roberto Verona is in a seated position in the corner…Pax has the ladder set up, and is giving it a shake to ensure it’s sturdy enough.
Allen rolls to the outside of the ring where a number of the tables are, including the two that are stacked side by side, and he takes a quick glance at Legion as they watch what he’s doing – he doesn’t take the fight to them at this time, and just makes sure they keep their distance as he grits his teeth. He picks up another one of the tables and readies it atop one of the other stack and then finally a fourth table, also putting it side by side…the tables sit two side by side, stacked two high – they stand about two feet above the ring apron. }Terri Morasco: Pax could walk out with this one if they don’t get into the ring soon!
{ The ladder shakes from every ring that Pax goes up, causing him to continue with caution – with that caution allows Tytus and Cyrus to recover enough as they spot Pax going up…Tytus steps forth and gets Pax in position for a POWERBOMB! Pax is holding onto the ladder, and is able to knock it over as Tytus walks him backwards looking to send him to the outside of the ring – Pax reverses into a HURRICANRANA! Tytus lands on the outside of the ring, and Cyrus is right there to grab Pax by the throat! He raises Pax for CONVICTION!
Pax manages to swing around and land back into the ring, taking Cyrus up and down with an OLYMPIC SLAM! }Vasco Dias: PAX STORMCROW WITH A HUGE COUNTER!
Terri Morasco: That ladder is still there for Pax to climb, too!
{ Back to his feet, Pax looks at the structure of tables that Allen has built – back in the corner, Roberto is wedging the trash can into the corner between the top and middle turnbuckles…Pax rushes for Roberto, and Roberto is able to sidestep as he goes directly into the trash can! Verona walks toward the ladder, and just knocks it over…it leans against the ropes, and Roberto turns his attention back to Pax as he starts to deliver a mudhole stomp into him. Roberto glances over at Cyrus Daniels, but continues stomping Pax every so often.
Outside of the ring, Tytus is trying to take a swing for Madjinn but The Black Widow jumps onto his back and is raking at his eyes! Madjinn is taking every cheap shot he can at Tytus – Tytus finally manages to snapmare The Black Widow over, and Madjinn goes in with ODE TO APHRODITE! Tytus blocks the knee as if on instinct alone, and takes Madjinn down with a powerful clothesline before grabbing his arm and sending him barreling toward the steel steps! Madjinn goes over and is writhing in pain from how hard he crashed into the steps.
On the ring apron, Allen climbs onto it and looks to get a shot against Roberto Verona – Roberto counters with a punch of his own, wobbling Allen on the ring apron. Pax Stormcrow rolls to the outside of the ring, trying to shake off some of the damage. Roberto steps onto the ring apron, and Legion is standing nearby to ensure his safety as Roberto is looking to send Allen through the tables – Allen catches Roberto with a back elbow that staggers him back a couple of steps along the apron. }Vasco Dias: This is looking pretty dangerous between Roberto and Allen.
Terri Morasco: And Pax Stormcrow is trying to stump some of Tytus’s momentum.
{ Pax Stormcrow delivers a clubbing blow to Tytus’s back, and Tytus fires with a back elbow. Madjinn is closing the gap between himself and Tytus, and both Pax and Madjinn are taking turns striking the larger, more powerful man – well-placed strikes from Madjinn, and Pax and him start dragging Tytus toward the corner barricade. They set him up perfectly, and a RELEASE DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Tytus goes through the barricade, knocking it over in the process!
At the same time, on the ring apron, Allen Chaney is looking for THE SET-UP! He has his hands under Roberto Verona, readying to lift him up for the gutwrench powerbomb…but Verona counters with a back body drop, Allen Chaney landing back on the ring apron! Allen clutches his back as he rolls off the side of the apron, and Roberto Verona calls for something from one of the members of Legion – they throw him a sack, and Roberto Verona forcefully pulls a string off of it. }Terri Morasco: Madjinn and Pax with the double team!
Vasco Dias: What’s Mr. Verona got in the sack, though?
{ Roberto Verona pours the contents of the sack over the tables…THUMBTACKS! Roberto Verona points at Allen Chaney, and rushes towards that part of the ring apron – Legion seemingly surrounds Allen Chaney to prevent him from running as Roberto Verona comes down with a double axe handle smash off the ring apron, connecting against Allen Chaney! The two continue their brawl around the outside of the ring, Legion slowly moving out of the way to give them space to go.
Madjinn and Pax kip to their feet, looking at the destruction of Tytus Rost – they high five each other, a heat of the moment ordeal as the crowd cheers. Soon, their eyes narrow, and Madjinn and Pax exchange a glance…it seems like the two agree to go their separate ways, and take the action back into the ring, but just as Pax turns his head, Madjinn fires with a hard front kick to Pax Stormcrow straight to the gonads! Pax Stormcrow falls immediately to his knees in utter pain as Madjinn throws his arms up to a sea of boos coming from the crowd. }Madjinn: I’M THE MOTHERFUCKING VILLAIN!
{ Madjinn looks down at Pax, as The Black Widow lets out a light chuckle under her breath – she looks at Tytus Rost and Pax Stormcrow on the outside before urging Madjinn back into the ring. Madjinn picks up the largest ladder and angles it to get it into the ring; simultaneously, The Black Widow pulls up another ladder and slides it under the bottom rope, not realizing that Madjinn had put the bigger one in… }Vasco Dias: Oh, man, Madjinn is going to get it here!
{ Cyrus Daniels is starting to come to, inside of the ring, and Madjinn immediately gets back into the ring – he picks up the smaller of the ladders, and slams it down across Cyrus’s back! Cyrus cringes from the shot, but Madjinn is relentlessly assaulting him with the ladder! Madjinn shoots a glance back at The Black Widow with some visible frustration… he asks her something, while inaudible, the lip readers know he’s asking: }Madjinn: Where is he?!
{ The Black Widow shrugs in response, shaking her head in utter confusion – she pulls her phone from her pocket, starting to fire a text away… }Terri Morasco: They must be looking for Stephen Terrella, another member of Savage Kingdom – we saw Nick Danger trap him in their locker room just before this match began!
Vasco Dias: I don’t know if Madjinn and The Black Widow know about that, though!
{ Madjinn picks the baseball bat back up with the barbed wire and slams it down across Cryus’s back, the barbs digging into his skin! Cyrus Daniels grits his teeth, ensuring he doesn’t cry out in pain from Madjinn – Madjinn continues to hit him with the bat, though and Cyrus tries to create some distance between himself and Madjinn. Cyrus pulls himself up using the ropes, and Madjinn is still hitting him with the bat, but Cyrus deflects the power behind it somewhat.
Pax Stormcrow, still in pain, gets up to his feet where the action between Roberto and Allen has spilled back around to him – Pax stands up, and delivers a palm strike to Roberto to knock him back! Allen Chaney swings blindly at Pax, and now the trio are battling amongst themselves with no allies!
With Cyrus battered a little bit, Madjinn takes the time to set up the largest of the ladders in the center of the ring – he then takes the smaller one and wedges it into the taller one, creating a more stable base. He turns his attention back to Cyrus and kicks at him a couple of times then turns back to the ladder and gives it a firm shake to ensure it’s steady. }Vasco Dias: Some great engineering right there!
{ Allen catches Pax with another Smooth Elbow, followed by Roberto, knocking both of them down – Allen then pulls another ladder out from under the ring, and sets it up on the barricade and ring apron as quick as he can…he gestures for the crowd to wait, and pulls a sack from his pocket that was given to him earlier in the night by Jennie. The crowd roars alive when Allen Chaney walks back to his construction of tables, going up the steel steps that are still in place, before pouring the content along with the thumbtacks onto the table… LEGOS! }Terri Morasco: I knew it!
Vasco Dias: Why am I not surprised?
{ Allen Chaney jumps back from the ring apron, toward Pax and Roberto as they’re both getting up – he has an elbow for each one! }Vasco Dias: He’s all over the place, though. He’s gotta get that focus, and it seems like he’s hellbent on putting Roberto Verona through those tables!
{ Legion is lingering closer to the tables, while also trying to keep an eye on Roberto Verona – Allen Chaney pulls Roberto Verona back to a standing base and drags him onto the ring apron…although you can’t see their faces, you can see them growing more and more concerned.
Meanwhile, The Black Widow and Madjinn are keeping their focus on Cyrus Daniels. Cyrus finally fires with a kick that drives the wind out of Madjinn, and hurries to his feet – he looks to continue his assault against The Mad Prince, but The Black Widow grabs him by the wrist…he’s much too strong for her, but earns a distraction – she pulls back before getting as close as she can, firing her black mist!
CYRUS MOVES!
The mist hits The Mad Prince, as he covers his eyes – The Black Widow is wide eyed, and Cyrus finally knocks her from the ring apron before turning back to Madjinn, hoisting him onto his shoulders and THE PRICE OF FREEDOM! Cyrus Daniels takes a moment to regain his breath here. }Terri Morasco: I think Madjinn is out of the hunt!
Vasco Dias: It was a long drop!
{ Allen Chaney has Roberto pulled onto the turnbuckle, and he’s looking over his shoulder at the tables – ahead of them is the ladder still on the barricade and ring apron, and Pax climbs up to the ring apron and eventually the turnbuckle along with Allen and Roberto. Allen has Roberto Verona in position to be able to go for a powerbomb going forward – Pax Stormcrow is behind Roberto Verona and is battering him a little bit to keep him stunned, allowing Allen to get this opportunity to send Verona through the table.
Cyrus Daniels takes a quick glance at the action on the corner, and opts to check out Madjinn’s handiwork – he seems satisfied with how sturdy the ladder is, but luckily for everybody else, Tytus Rost slides into the ring and goes right into the fray! He and Cyrus start brawling with each other, and knock the ladder every so often but are unable to knock it from its positioning… the two behemoths are unable to get it free, and the crowd goes wild when Tytus hoists Cyrus onto his shoulders! }Vasco Dias: PURE! UNPARALLELED! POWER!
Terri Morasco: That’s over three-hundred pounds that Tytus is lifting like it’s nothing! But on that corner – Roberto Verona, Pax Stormcrow, and Allen Chaney are all battling for something big here!
{ Outside of the ring, Madjinn is slowly recovering – The Black Widow is helping clear his face from the mist with a towel, as he uses his hand on the ring apron to guide his way around… Roberto Verona is able to deliver a back elbow to Pax’s jaw, and Pax is able to barely steady himself on the ring apron, almost falling onto the tables scattered with thumbtacks and LEGOs. He takes a deep breath when he regains his balance… Roberto then sends a kick forward to Allen Chaney, shoving him back in the process, but the same thing happens for Allen. He barely is able to get himself balanced before falling across the ladder that’s in position on the barricade and ring apron. }Vasco Dias: These guys are playing with fire!
{ Elbows from Cyrus are able to battle Tytus back a little bit, but Tytus then walks for the ropes and drops him in a Samoan Drop fashion over the top rope! Cyrus takes a rough landing, but is overall okay enough to continue… Roberto Verona comes off of the turnbuckle, looking toward Allen Chaney as he gets a running start and comes off of the ring apron with VENI, VIDI, VICI!
ALLEN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Roberto Verona lands flat on his back right under the ladder, having the wind driven right out of him from the landing, and Allen Chaney gives him a “salute” (flipping the bird) to Verona while he’s grounded then with some extra oomph, slides the ladder all the way into the ring–
Tytus is starting his ascent on the ladder, so Allen wastes no time getting into the ring and setting up the ladder beside the bigger ladder…he starts climbing it, and is there with a backhand for Tytus!
Back outside of the ring, Madjinn has reached the far side by the tables…he climbs to the ring apron, and goes to where the ladder is wedged into the other larger one, using it as a ramp to move up. Pax slide a ladder into the ring on the opposite side of the ring, and sets the ladder up as well – }Terri Morasco: All these ladders! Someone could get seriously hurt!
{ Pax Stormcrow climbs his own ladder, but on the opposite side of Tytus Rost and Allen, while Tytus and Allen are battling atop the ladder – their fingertips graze the briefcase, but with a knock, the briefcase sways wildly back and forth… Cyrus Daniels re-enters the ring, and climbs opposite of Pax Stormcrow. Madjinn climbs opposite of Tytus Rost beside Pax Stormcrow. The five men are each exchanging shots with one another, while Madjinn is careful not to be decked from neither Tytus nor Cyrus – Roberto Verona, holding his back, also re-enters the ring and now climbs opposite of Allen Chaney! The crowd is going wild while all of them are standing perched on the ladder!
For the exception of Roberto Verona solely focusing on Allen Chaney, the rest of them are exchanging shots with one another! Tytus and Cyrus find it hard to balance whilst getting full power behind their punches, but they are trying – Pax is able to finally get Cyrus’s head and slams it across the top of the ladder… Pax tries to sneak away with the briefcase, but it’s flung when he’s punched in the stomach! Tytus reaches toward him, grabbing him by the neck, and Madjinn rakes Tytus across the eyes! }Terri Morasco: Madjinn just saved Pax!
{ Madjinn then grabs Pax by the hair and slams his head onto the ladder! }Terri Morasco: Not intentionally.
{ The Black Widow on the outside of the ring is just creating more of a massacre scene for everybody else… Legion curiously watches her as she sets up a series of ladders now from the barricade to the ring apron near Roberto Verona and Allen Chaney…Verona gets a good shot against Allen, and shoves him off to the side! ALLEN CHANEY CRASHES ACROSS ALL THREE LADDERS! The crowd gasps as they can’t believe what they just witnessed! }Vasco Dias: Oh, MY GOD! Roberto just killed him!
{ Madjinn and Pax are battling side by side against each other, until Madjinn catches him with a back elbow – the elbow is well-placed, stunning him for the moment…Cyrus grabs onto Tytus, and lifts him up and down with a super back body drop off of the ladder! The ring shakes, and the ladder that Cyrus was on with Pax tumbles over, Pax’s weight pulling it his way – Legion finally seems to intervene as they pull Pax Stormcrow out to the ring apron, delivering some clubbing blows to wear him down…they manage to get him on top of the tables, and one starts choking him with their hands as Pax is trying to break free. Roberto looks at the carnage below, then hits Madjinn’s shoulder a couple times to get his attention. }Roberto Verona: DO IT!
{ The briefcase nears Madjinn, and he looks at it for a moment…then back at Pax Stormcrow, with a sly smile on his face, and he shrugs before launching backwards with DESCENT TO MADNESS! The crowd is holding their breath as the Legion member moves out of the way quickly, and Pax has no chance to move when Madjinn crashes on top of him sending them both through all four tables and into the thumbtacks and LEGOs! }Crowd: HOLY SHIT!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!
{ The crowd chants and even over their chant, you can hear a maniacal laughter coming from Madjinn as he lies on top…the tall ladder in the middle of the ring still stands tall, safe from the wedge, and Roberto Verona has an opportunity to end the madness as the last man atop the ladder. }Terri Morasco: Is he gonna change his mind?!
Vasco Dias: Now’s the time if he’s going to!
{ Roberto Verona scoffs before sliding off of the ladder – he points to the Legion and starts shouting instructions… The Black Widow is tending to Madjinn for the time being, but Legion ushers her away; she sneers at them, showing no fear but after a word she seems lenient on taking a step back…they pull Madjinn back to his feet, as he grimaces from the rough landing that he had, but Pax is a little more worse for wear. }Terri Morasco: This is just carnage, Vasco! Bodies are everywhere! Cyrus and Tytus haven’t moved since falling from the ladder. Allen Chaney fell over twenty feet through three ladders…and Pax…there could be nothing left of Pax after that. But Roberto Verona is ordering the Legion to pick up Madjinn!
Vasco Dias: That’s right, Terri! Mr. Verona knows exactly who the cash cow is in this company, and that’s Madjinn! THE MAD PRINCE! That’s SAVAGE KINGDOM! Ever since they aligned as one cohesive unit, they have been THE TEAM! And Mr. Verona! HE! RECOGNIZES THAT!
{ Madjinn is brought into the ring, and with a clear hobble in his step, Roberto Verona grabs his shoulder and shoves him toward the ladder…the toll the match has taken on everybody is no different for The Mad Prince, though, and he puts one hand on the ladder slowly trying to pull himself back to a standing base. All the while, the crowd is getting louder and louder in an attempt to give someone the momentum to get up to their feet and stop him. }Vasco Dias: Take your flash photography ready, ladies and gentlemen! This is going to be a monumental moment that is going to shape our future!
{ The crowd pops as Allen Chaney is pulling himself out of the rubble – he uses the ring skirt to pull himself back to a standing base, his legs wobbling beneath him…He grabs the bottom rope to pull himself onto the apron, and Roberto Verona is there to meet him with a right hand!
REVERSED!
Roberto Verona throws another right!
REVERSED!
Allen Chaney draws Roberto Verona in and delivers a hard headbutt against him, staggering both momentarily – Madjinn continues to slowly climb the ladder. The crowd is roaring alive, rallying behind The Comedian as he delivers forearms and elbows to Roberto Verona, battling him to the ropes before mustering the energy needed to deliver a DROPKICK sending Roberto over the top rope and to the outside of the ring! }Vasco Dias: You can’t hit the boss like that!
Terri Morasco: He’s in the match, Vasco! It’s all fair! And Allen Chaney needs to hurry if he wants to stop Madjinn from capturing the briefcase! The Mad Prince is almost to the top!
{ Allen Chaney pushes off from the ground, and grabs the ladder – he immediately reaches up, getting Madjinn by the ankle to slow him down! Madjinn kicks at him a couple of times, trying to shake himself free – he manages to kick Allen in the face, knocking him loose…Allen stumbles back momentarily, but hurries forward and climbs underneath Madjinn, and then lifts him further in position for an ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP! With nowhere to go, Madjinn is trying to reach the briefcase overhead but it’s still just out of his reach…
Tytus Rost and Cyrus Daniels are coming to, looking up to watch the action unfold.
Pax Stormcrow is still out on the outside of the ring, but is starting to stir as he slowly rolls over onto his stomach.
Roberto Verona leans against the ring apron, shaking off the dropkick.
But all eyes are currently on Madjinn and Allen Chaney – Madjinn manages to graze the briefcase with his fingertips as Allen Chaney sends them both backwards, and crashes against the canvas! The entire crowd is out of their seats yet again, as Madjinn holds the back of his head after the impact. Allen Chaney, still regaining his own steam after falling through the ladders, takes a moment on the ground. }Vasco Dias: I don’t think that’s going to go over too well with Jennie! Dropping her nephew like that!
Terri Morasco: It’s business, Vasco, and Allen Chaney much like everyone else really wants to take that briefcase for themselves! But it’s a wonder how any of them are still standing after what they’ve gone through.
{ Cyrus and Tytus are the next ones to regain their footing, as they start throwing weary punches at each other – Allen Chaney rolls to the ropes and uses them to pull himself back up to his feet…with Cyrus and Tytus near the ropes, Allen charges them and sends them both over with a double clothesline! }Vasco Dias: HOW?! How has he summoned the strength?!
{ Allen Chaney parades around the ring for a brief moment before letting out what sounds like a roar! }Terri Morasco: Allen Chaney is fired up! He’s hurting, but there’s no telling what happens when you get that adrenaline pumping!
{ Back on the outside of the ring, Pax Stormcrow is pulling on the ring skirt – thumbtacks stuck in his back, and LEGOs also stuck more by the sweat… He tugs on the ladder that is wedged between the bigger ladder in an attempt to knock it over, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Allen Chaney – Allen frees the ladder, and tosses it back, causing Pax to stumble backwards.
Across the ring, Madjinn uses the ropes to pull himself up – him and Allen are back to back, and from the outside, Cyrus Daniels gets back up by using the ropes…his eyes lock onto The Mad Prince, and he suddenly sees red as he swings!
MADJINN DUCKS!
Madjinn snatches Cyrus’s wrist and goes between the top and middle ropes as he turns his head toward Brandy and beckons her over…she comes over fast, and Cyrus swings with his other arm to try to hit Madjinn, but Madjinn snatches that one too and The Black Widow slips onto the ring apron with a pair of handcuffs! Madjinn holds onto Cyrus’s wrists for dear life, the much larger Australian pulling back rather quickly.
But not quick enough!
Brandy slaps the handcuffs around Cyrus Daniels’ wrists around the steel post, as Madjinn releases and slips backwards… }Vasco Dias: Those aren’t fuzzy handcuffs!
{ Cyrus Daniels shakes the handcuffs violently against the steel post, and tries to go around the post – Madjinn cackles and coughs from the damage that he had taken throughout the match before slumping down beside the ring apron to take a moment for himself. Roberto Verona tries to slide under the bottom rope, but is caught by The Comedian with HECKLER CONTROL! Roberto Verona is laid out at the ring apron, and Legion immediately pulls their boss, and holds him up on the outside of the ring – Tytus Rost gets onto the apron but eats a SMOOTH ELBOW to the dome! Pumped up, and full of energy, Allen Chaney pivots and heads for the ladder. }Terri Morasco: Allen Chaney is starting to climb the ladder now, and there aren’t too many people ready to stop him! Madjinn is crawling at the bottom of the ladder, and he’s trying to use it to get to his feet – Pax is making a dash for the ring! Roberto Verona looks like he could try to get in there as well!
Vasco Dias: Someone stop him!
{ Madjinn is crawling at the bottom of the ladder, slowly making his way up – Pax slides under the bottom rope to re-enter the ring and he starts climbing up the ladder on the same side as Allen Chaney. Allen is reaching up for the briefcase, but Pax grabs his ankle, startling him! Allen tries to shake him loose, but to no avail – meanwhile, Madjinn is able to get to the top of the ladder and delivers a gut punch to Allen to slow him down further! Allen continues trying to shake off Pax, and Pax continues his ascent up the ladder, shoving Allen’s feet aside a little with his own as he makes room for himself atop the ladder. }Vasco Dias: This is incredibly dangerous! Don’t do this at home!
{ Allen and Pax are sharing a step, as all three men are stretching for the briefcase – Madjinn is the first to get his fingertips on it, and is able to stop its momentum as he tries to unhook it…Allen catches him with a punch to the jaw! Madjinn staggers atop the ladder. Pax is the next to grab the briefcase! But Allen catches him with an elbow! Allen Chaney is the next to grab the briefcase, and both Madjinn and Pax double punch him! }Terri Morasco: I don’t like this, Vasco!
{ All three men reach up and grab the hook! The ladder gives out from underneath them as one of their feet manages to kick it off, and all three men are dangling off the hook – with no other options, they start kicking at each other! }Vasco Dias: You remember those old monkey bar fights kids used to have? This reminds me a lot of that!
{ Each one is carefully trying to get a hand on the briefcase, but are met with a weak kick from the other – their arms are all shaking at this point from the amount of blood loss, and how much they’ve all been through… thumbtacks are still stuck to the bodies of Madjinn and Pax Stormcrow. As you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering how much more of a cliffhanger could possibly be here, as we are only on the third of seventeen endings much like Lord of the Rings! }Vasco Dias: THE MAD PRINCE! HE HAS IT!
Terri Morasco: NO! NOT QUITE!
{ Madjinn and Pax fall a millisecond before Allen, but as Allen comes down, HE HAS THE BRIEFCASE! }
DING! DING! DING!{ Madjinn and Pax arch their backs, and cringe from the thumbtacks digging a little deeper on their landing – they both are gritting their teeth while glaring toward each other, but Allen Chaney weakly raises the briefcase up while “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” plays over the PA! }Terri Morasco: ALLEN CHANEY DID IT! HE IS THIS YEARS JOKER IN THE PACK!
Vasco Dias: HE STOLE IT! HE STOLE IT IN MIDAIR! MADJINN HAD IT!
Terri Morasco: ALLEN WINS!
Alison Valance: Your winner! AND THE 2024 JOKER IN THE PACK! "THE COMEDIAN"! ALLEN! CHAAAAANNNNNEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!
Terri Morasco: What a war, Vasco! This is definitely going to be one for the ages, and a candidate for match of the year!
{ The medical staff are already coming down to the ring – outside of the ring, Roberto Verona is being assisted by Legion, as he looks over his shoulder at Allen Chaney, who is still trying to raise his arms in victory but is too worn out. Medical focuses first on the three inside of the ring – Tytus Rost shoves them off, and Cyrus Daniels is irate as he is still handcuffed to the steel post and is demanding they get the key from Madjinn or The Black Widow. The Black Widow slides into the ring to tend to Madjinn along with the medical staff, but Allen Chaney leans on the bottom rope with a crimson smile for Roberto Verona as he clutches the briefcase. }—---------------------------------------------
SEGMENTCelebrities in the house!
—---------------------------------------------
{ Following the monumental Joker in the Pack match, the crew is spotted trying to clean and clear the ring as fast as they can… in the meantime, the cameras scour the Roman audience as well as a voiceover from Terri and Vasco! }Terri Morasco: NIGHT OF THE IMMORTALS, NIGHT TWO! It has already exceeded all expectations with what we’ve witnessed… Joker in the Pack–
Vasco Dias: JOKER IN THE PACK!
Terri Morasco: And just with that, I’m sure all the stars who are here in attendance are so glad they came!
{ The audience is absolutely deafening. The camera goes near the front row, where celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is seen sitting in the front row. He puts on his best fight face, and holds a fist toward the camera, then the camera finally gets closer while Willy Carter is there on the scene. }Tiffany Jones Mr. Gordon! Ladies and gentlemen, GORDON RAMSAY IN THE HOUSE!
{ Gordon Ramsay stands up, and walks close to the barricade, giving a nod as a greeting. }Tiffany Jones Ladies and gentlemen, GORDON RAMSAY IN THE HOUSE!
{ The crowd cheers, and Gordon waves to the crowd. }Gordon Ramsay: Hello, Tiffany!
Tiffany Jones Mr. Gordon, sir, an honor to have you here! And so I just wanted to ask you a quick question: what match are you most looking forward to tonight? The one we just witnessed?! The main event?! Which one has you…here?!
Gordon Ramsay: Honestly, Tiffany, the match that I am here to see, and it might throw you for a bit of a loop, but the match that I am here to see is actually Cliff Cook going against Randon Haynes!
Tiffany Jones Why that one specifically?
Gordon Ramsay: It’s in the name. Cliff
Cook!
Tiffany Jones Thank you, sir! To you, Willy?
{ The camera shifts to Willy Carter, who nods his head a couple of times before finally acknowledging the camera. Standing beside him is Jensen Ackles, and sitting behind Jensen is Jared Padalecki. }Willy Carter: With me is Jensen Ackles!
{ A smile that could melt the room. }Willy Carter: Is it true that you sold Sam’s soul so you could be here?
Jensen Ackles: I mean, I wasn’t going to miss this–
Willy Carter: I notice you’re not in the front row, is that because your cameo in The Boys just wasn’t good enough? Are you at all concerned people are only gonna remember you as Dean?
{ Jared is in the background with quivering lips as he seems to want to protest, but stays still as Jensen answers. }Jensen Ackles: That’s a little harsh, I’ve done so much–
Willy Carter: To you, Tiffany!
{ Jared flashes a smile at the camera as he pulls Jensen back to his seat. }Jensen Ackles: I’m gonna kick your ass!
{ The camera switches back to Tiffany Jones, wide eyed, and her lips quivering as she tries to make sense of what she had heard over the broadcast. }Tiffany Jones: I wanna meet Jensen… Well, also joining us in the front row is–
{ The camera looks past Tiffany to show JASON MOMOA! He shakes his hands with the hang loose hand symbol while taking a step to the barricade. }Tiffany Jones: Oh, my god! Game of Thrones! Aquaman! Dune! A pleasure, sir! A pleasure!
Jason Momoa: A pleasure to be here!
Tiffany Jones: I mean, I gotta ask… What’s the big match for you here?!
Jason Momoa: The main event, no doubt! Charlie going against my girl Jennie, that’s going to be an instant classic right there!
Tiffany Jones: Who do you got winning that?!
Jason Momoa: I really don’t know if I wanna go there– {Chuckles.} But if I were to place a bet, I think I’d be placing it on Charlie. That girl’s been straight fire since she came to the IWF, and rising fast! But it’s not gonna be easy for her!
Tiffany Jones: Thank you, Khal!
{ Tiffany giggles a little bit. }Jason Momoa: Anytime, moon!
{ Jason takes his seat and Tiffany gets a little more giddy. }Tiffany Jones: It sounds like Willy Carter has found another celebrity in the house!
{ The camera transitions back to Willy Carter, this time standing beside WILL SMITH! Will Smith and Willy Carter are locked in a gaze, slowly nodding to one another. }Willy Carter: It’s uncanny.
Will Smith: Was there– was there something in the fruit punch?
Willy Carter: So did you like… take a big dip after slapping Chris Rock, because I haven’t seen much out of you since, and you’re like…well, you should be in the front row, do you just not matter anymore?
Will Smith: I mean, I apologized for that.
Willy Carter: “Sorry” doesn’t cut it! You embarrassed the man on national TV!
Will Smith: I’m about to embarrass you on national TV if you don’t watch your mouth!
Willy Carter: Back to you, Vasco and Terri!
{ Camera shows Terri and Vasco sitting side by side. }Terri Morasco: A lot of celebrities in the house, and we’re hoping that Willy doesn’t piss them all off.

IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP FINAL
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH
1500 Word Limit (Unlimited Character Development)w/ Special Guest Referee: Jason "J-TV" Hathaway
Logan Sky vs. RAM
—---------------------------------------------
{ As Logan Sky waits to make his entrance backstage, we see that he's in a state of deep meditation. After all, who wouldn't be considering this is the second night of Imperial's biggest event, Night of the Immortals. He silently bows his head, waiting for his entrance music to kick in. However... }~BONK!!!~
{ R.A. Marshall, his opponent for the night, has snuck up from behind and cracked Logan upside the skull with a cookie sheet! Special referee Jason "J-TV" Hathaway gets a chuckle out of the early action going on, knowing that either RAM or Logan will be facing him for the TV title next. Tonight, J-TV finds himself wearing your traditional referee's shirt -- except the stripes are patterned after rainbown colors to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month. }Terri Morasco: RAM didn't even let Logan get his entrance in!
Vasco Dias: Why should he?! The kid ain't wastin' any time!
Terri Morasco: Well, we've got crews all over this stadium! They might very well take this to the old Roman Colesseum!
{ RAM and Logan eventually start trading punches backstage. J-TV can't help but muster a smirk as the two combatants drag each other down the corridor and into the locker room that's normally reserved for the Italian National Football Club! Logan grabs a green chair and smacks RAM right across the back with it, sending the high school grad carening into one of the lockers! }Terri Morasco: I don't think the folks at FIFA are gonna like this...
Vasco Dias: This is fun!
{ Logan charges toward RAM, who rolls out of the way and...CLANG!! Logan crashes head-first into the locker door, creating a sizeable dent! As Sky favors his noggin, Marshall grabs him and delivers a snap suplex that crunches his opponent's back on the carpeted floor! RAM goes for the cover, but only gets a two count! Not satisfied with his work so far, RAM grabs Logan and drags him out of the locker room! }Terri Morasco: Those two men are brutally beating each other down the hallway!
Vasco Dias: Where this fight's gonna end up, we don't know!
{ Logan kicked RAM hard in the gut before sending crashing into a Pepsi machine! Marshall stumbles around and tries to get his bearings, leading Sky to chop block the big fella! RAM goes crashing to the floor as Logan picks up a weapon of his choosing -- a mop -- and proceeds to beat the piss out of RAM with the stick end of it! Logan then grabs RAM and drags him further down the corridor, eventually leading into... }Terri Morasco: They're in the men's room! THEY'RE IN THE MEN'S ROOM!!!
Vasco Dias: I hope the janitors kept the place nice and tidy...
{ It doesn't matter how clean the joint's been kept -- it was probably gonna get wrecked anyway! That winds up being on full display as Logan grabs a custodian's mop bucket and bonks RAM right across the face! He then proceeds to shoot Marshall into a stall door, which winds up being broken down upon impact! RAM turns around and charges forward, eating a belly-to-belly suplex on the hard tile! Logan goes for the cover, but RAM kicks out at two-and-a-half! }Vasco Dias: At least the good thing is that no one's actually in that restroom...
Terri Morasco: I have a feeling there's gonna be a massive clean-up bill for the mess RAM and Logan have made...
{ As J-TV looks on, Logan grabs RAM and drags him out of the men's room! They continue fighting back down the corridor, passing both the Pepsi machine and the Italian football clut's locker room on their way towards the stage! Eventually, RAM and Logan find themselves back on the stage, surrounded by 50,000+ bloodthirsty fans! Logan grabs RAM from behind and connects with a belly-to-back suplex, causing Marshall to hit the steel hard! Sky goes for the quick cover, but RAM kicks out at two-and-three-quarters! After clubbing RAM several times in the back with several forearm shots, RAM is able to counter with a swift punch to Logan's balls! }Terri Morasco: Ouch!
Vasco Dias: That's gonna hurt for a while!
{ While Logan SKy is on the deck and clutching his family jewels, RAM marches back towards the waiting area. When he returns, he does so with a cricket bat wrapped in barbed wire! With one swing, RAM cracks Logan in the back before jamming the bat in his face! The barbed wire creates a deep cut over Logan's eyes as RAM develops a sick, perverse smile on his mug! }Terri Morasco: This is getting brutal now! I think J-TV should take a good look at those cuts on Logan's face!
Vasco Dias: RAM said it earlier -- this was one second chance he wasn't gonna let go to waste!
Terri Morasco: How far is this kid willing to go?! A shot at the TV title is on the line!
{ While RAM didn't say the quiet part out loud in his most recent promo, he knew what was at stake here! RAM drabbed the bloodied Logan and led him down the armp and towards the ring; after dumping him in, Marshall swiftly kicked Sky while he was down on the mat, earning some derisive whistles from the Italian folks in attendance. He then picked Logan up by the neck and chokeslammed him to the canvas before climbing up to the top buckle and connecting with his trademarked shooting star press! }Terri Morasco: The Braver!
Vasco Dias: This could be the end!
{ RAM goes for the pin...! }1...!
2...!!
THREE--NOPE!!!
{ J-TV holds up the dreaded two fingers! RAM stands up pissed and shouts a few colorful metaphors at the crowd. Meanwhile, Logan Sky slowly rolls out of the ring and looks underneath; as Marshall continues screaming, he doesn't notice that Sky has hopped back in with a pair of spiked brass knuckles! RAM turns around and eats the spikes for breakfast! As RAM lies on the mat, Logan turns his victim's facial features into hamburger meat with repeated shots with the knuckles -- and J-TV does nothing except watch with a hint of glee on his own mug! Eventually, Logan pulls a woozy RAM up to his feet and fires off his trademarked seven punch and elbow strike combination! }Vasco Dias: Both men are bleedin' like stuck pigs!
Terri Morasco: The cover!!
1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEAAAAAWWWWW...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{ Now Logan is a bit unhappy, percieving Jason Hathaway's count as being too slow! J-TV holds up the two fingers and tells him to shut up and pay attention to the match! Unfortunately, this proves to be too late as RAM manages to pull himself up and make a late charge, grabbing Sky and placing him in a pumphandle lift! }Vasco Dias: Uh-oh...
Terri Morasco: Here it comes...!
{ RAM plants Logan to the mat with his signature death valley driver to complete the MARSHALL LAW combination! Logan Sky is laid out spead-eagle in the middle of the ring as RAM goes for the pin! }1...!
2...!!
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{ RAM can't believe the fact that Logan Sky had kicked out of his Marshall Law combination! Now he starts letting Jason Hathaway have it, screaming that his counting skills were as slow as Italy's national football club players! This allows Logan Sky plenty of time to grab RAM and place him in his Falcon Arrow maneuver he dubs THE DEAL! Logan goes for the pin... }1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[DING-DING-DING!!!]
Alison Valance: Here is your winner....LOOOOGAN!! SKYYYYY!!!!!!
{ Logan Sky's music hits as he stares down Jason Hathaway! He knows what's coming down the pike next as the two men continue the staredown! }—---------------------------------------------
SEGMENTAre you ready?
—---------------------------------------------
{ The cameras go backstage immediately following the contest between Logan Sky and RAM…Cliff Cook is sitting in the office of his mysterious boss with the plaque on the front door removed to protect the secret identity – suddenly, five masked figures and Denzel Porter walk into the room. All of them are wearing their sweaters that read: }WE ARE NOT LEGION
FOR WE ARE NOT MANY{ Denzel takes a couple of steps forward then glances over his shoulder at the rest of the group. }Denzel Porter: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, but this is ridiculous!
{ Denzel takes off his sweater, and cargo pants, but underneath was a suit with all the fixings. He fixes his cuffs a little bit and nods, looking more proud. }
Denzel Porter: I look better in a suit.
{ He is the first to narrow in on Cliff. }Denzel Porter: ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?!
Cliff Cook: I– I’m ready.
Denzel Porter: ARE! YOU! READY! FOR THIS?!!!!
Cliff Cook: I’M READY!
Denzel Porter: LOUDER!
Cliff Cook: I’M READY!
{ Cliff gets to his feet, dressed in the attire he chose to compete in. }Denzel Porter: LOUDER!
Cliff Cook: I’M REEEEEAAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYYY!!!!
{ A sudden silence but the Roman crowd is heard resonating throughout the backstage area…Denzel leans closer again, and pounds Cliff twice on the chest, right over the heart; the look of determination, and a pleased look from Denzel. }Denzel Porter: Let’s go!
{ The squad leads Cliff through the hallway, as Cliff is bouncing back and forth on his legs to get the blood flowing properly – the crowd is getting louder as they continue walking throughout the corridors before finally getting to the gorilla position. From there, the rest of the squad just rallies Cliff, but Cliff makes the march on his own to the stadium! }—---------------------------------------------

TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH2000 Word LimitRandon Hayes vs. Cliff Cook
—---------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: This crowd is still buzzing after Logan Sky's big win moments ago, Vasco. We're going to shift gears here though, as we'll see two guys with absolutely zero matches under their belts going head-to-head in a best of three match, and the stakes couldn't be higher!
Vasco Dias: That's right, Morasco! This company has two general manager positions, which are among the most coveted jobs in all of professional wrestling- and since the Ginger is so difficult to work with, Verona is having him step into the ring against Randon Haynes! At the end of this match, whoever this mystery person is that Cliff claims he's working for might be controlling one show, and Haynes the other: or one of them could be controlling both shows and someone will be out of a job!
Terri Morasco: You sound a little too excited about that.
Vasco Dias: I'm not going to lie, I am excited, Morasco! Imagine, Cliff Cook and some mysterious idiot being fired live, on pay-per-view!
Terri Morasco: It could be Haynes, too.
Vasco Dias: It won't be Haynes!
Terri Morasco: Might be.
Vasco Dias: If you don't stop, we're going one-on-one in the next match, Morasco!
{ The lights in the Stadio Olimpico all go out for a brief moment, but are quickly replaced with red and orange strobe lights flashing in sequence with the opening music… }
Red Bull in my hands, feels like I got wings
Lotta people in my face, but I can't hear a thing
It's like my heads up in the clouds, heads up in the clouds
And I ain't coming down, no
Just turn the music on, just let me get lost
I swear that I"ma lose it if somebody turns it off
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind
Just turn the music up, turn the music up{ The lights go down as the opening chorus comes to a close, but as the music amps up, the strobe lights continue flashing in rhythm. Cliff comes out from behind the curtains, wearing a snapback hat on his head as he dances with the music – the crowd cheers for The IWF Ginger, and he raises his hands, and gestures for the crowd to get louder. }
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Snap back on my head, I'm so motivated
Nike's on my feet, understand the situation
This is not a game, this is not a game
You ain't gon' bring me down, no
Yeah I mean what I say, and I say what I mean
You best wipe off that hater look before you make me scream
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind{ Cliff goes to the edge of the ramp and starts intermingling with as much of the crowd as he possibly can, shaking hands, giving high fives; he hops with the crowd in the front row, and the camera angles behind him – he spins in a circle, and as the breakdown comes in for the song, he pulls the camera closer and raps along with the song. }I got the adrenaline
Rhyme like I'm a veteran
Fine, I've been ahead of the
Game, no way I'm settlin'
Drained, but I'ma get it in
Lame this is a medicine
Hey, you get the medic kit
Beats, 'cause I don't let 'em live
Fast, better keep pedalin'
Blast you with the pen again
Laugh, but I'm ahead of them
Act, like I don't get it then
That is when I enter in
Rap until I never can
Cash, it is irrelevant
Passion is the element
Laps around these other men
Pass 'em, who you runnin' with
Facts, is what I'm coming with
Back, but I ain't never left
Swift, but I will never get
Wack, you better get a grip
Last isn't a medal it's glass and I'ma shatter it
Who do you think you battling?
Who do you think you laughing at?
I am not a comedian, man it don't even matter
If you don't know what I'm saying, you better do what the chorus says
You don't know what the chorus says?
Turn it up on the choruses{ Right after finishing the rap, he sprints to the ring and slides under the bottom rope to get into the ring! He hurries back to his feet, and runs to the far ropes, flinging his snapback into the crowd. He continues hopping on his feet while waiting for the match to start. }Vasco Dias: I didn’t know he could rap.
Terri Morasco: There’s a lot we don’t know about Cliff.
{The lights in the Stadio Olimpico dim. One lone spotlight is aimed at the top of the stage as the opening to "Over the Edge" by L.A. Guns starts cranking over the sound system. Rising up from beneath the stage on the Randonvator, a lone hooded figure begins to emerge, arms outstretched, with the words "Ginger Killer" adorned across the back of the lavish yellow robe. One minute into the song, the figure spins around, pulling his hood down to reveal himself as Randon Haynes! He flashes Cliff a knowing smirk as the members of the Murder file out from behind the curtain one-by-one to stand at Haynes' back. With an army behind him, Haynes begins his walk toward the ring.}Yeah I got the music cranking, Japanese TV
My head is full of jasmine smoke
I can hardly breathe
Turquoise dragons slip and slide
Sliding down my back
I'm standing on this cold, thin ice
And I'm about to crack{Haynes stops at the bottom of the ramp to shadow box, throwing some quick punches with extremely poor form into the air as the members of the Murder move toward his corner behind him.}
I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge
{Haynes takes the stairs to enter the ring, glaring at Cliff before moving toward a neutral corner. After his initial attempt to climb to the second turnbuckle fails with a slight slip, he makes another pass at it, making it up to his desired perch where he is showered with boos from the crowd.}Seven candles burn so bright
The full moon behind a veil
The ocean crashing in my head
Outside the sirens wail
Jet black is my dirty hair
Jet black my heart and car
My lips are red, my skin snow white
My face is battle scarred{Randon jumps down and begins to disrobe.}I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge
{Dressed in black boxing shorts with yellow trim and black boots, Randon's snow white legs almost look like the Oreo cream filling in the middle. He does a few unusual stretches to warm up before ducking his head between the ropes to get some last-minute advice from any of the Murder at ringside with him that's willing to give it.}
I no longer feel the pain
No longer feel my love
Just the air conditioner
And some help from the Lord above
Coughing up pieces of my broken heart
My eyes work like radar
I'm lyin' in the afterglow
How'd I ever get this far
I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge{The song slowly starts to fade as Randon puts in a black mouthpiece, readying himself for a fight.}Terri Morasco: I have no love or respect for Randon Haynes whatsoever, but are we sure he isn't going to hurt himself?
Vasco Dias: Randon Haynes is a genius, Morasco. The guy is almost as smart as I am! He knows he isn't a trained professional wrestler, so he's thinking safety. He's got his mouthguard in, the Murder to watch his back... Trust me, the Ginger isn't going to know what hit him!
Terri Morasco: I'm not convinced. But I am concerned, as Cliff should be, by the Murder's presence at ringside. That's a collection of dangerous ladies in Haynes' corner, with a vested interest in seeing Haynes win this match.
{The official for this contest, Colt Collins, checks to see if both men are ready. Upon getting the go ahead from both individuals, the referee sounds the opening bell.}
Ding!
{Randon comes running across the ring as if he was preparing to storm a castle, looking for a clothesline! Cliff adeptly ducks the oncoming clothesline and does a little dance to showboat for the crowd, infuriating Haynes. Randon kicks the bottom rope in frustration, turns, and tries for a wild haymaker. Cook is again too quick, ducking the big punch, taking Haynes into a hammerlock headscissors small package! Colt Collins pounces down on the canvas for a count...}
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
{The crowd roars as Cliff Cook scores the first fall in about a minute!}Terri Morasco: Cliff has won the first fall, meaning whomever his boss is, they're now the general manager of Sacrifice! That may be a record for the fastest victory we have
ever seen inside of an IWF ring, Vasco! Haynes is in disbelief!
Vasco Dias: The Ginger had the tights, Morasco! That fall should be stricken from the record books!
Terri Morasco: He most certainly did not grab any tights!
{Haynes gets up in a rage, which is aimed directly at the official. Randon grabs two fistfuls of Colt's shirt and drives him back into a corner. Colt tries to diffuse the situation as both Randon, as well as the Murder, verbally abuse him over what they perceived as poor officiating. Haynes claims his shoulder was up, visually moving it forward for Colt to see. Cliff does another dance for the crowd as Haynes wastes his valuable recovery time between falls.}
Terri Morasco: Cliff is having so much fun out there, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: He looks like a moron, Morasco. He's making a fool out of himself in front of millions of people! This is our new boss!
Terri Morasco: He works for our new boss, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: You can't tell me that shifty little Ginger isn't calling his own shots. i don't believe it.
Terri Morasco: We're getting an official confirmation of time on that first fall... fifty-seven seconds, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: This is a nightmare!
{The official looks at his watch, noticing that it is time to begin the second fall for the Odyssey General Manager position. He indicates to Haynes it is time to go, but Randon is still upset over how the first fall went. Colt tells him again, but Randon won't quit. Cliff comes up behind Randon, rolling him up in a schoolboy pinning attempt. The official dives on the canvas, and begins a count...}
One!
Two!!
...
No!!!
{This time Haynes really is able to kickout of the pin attempt, propelling Cliff back toward the ropes. Haynes gets up relatively quickly, scrambling to collect himself. Cliff unleashes some blistering knife-edge chops, reddening Randon's pasty white chest! The crowd goes wild as Randon grimaces in pain with every lash of Cliff's hand. Cliff backs Randon up against the ropes, takes one of Randon's arms, and whips him across the ring. Haynes bounces off the opposite side... and runs straight into a spinning headscissors from Cliff that throws Haynes to the canvas! Cliff leaps over Haynes body, springboards off the ropes, crashing down across Haynes' chest with a moonsault! He hooks a leg, trying for another cover. The referee slides into position for a count...}
One!
Two!!
Noo!!!
{Haynes barely kicks out before the three is counted!}
Terri Morasco: Randon Haynes is reeling, Vasco! This crowd is going crazy! I don't know if anyone in this building tonight expected a springboard moonsault from Cliff Cook!
Vasco Dias: Who trained that little twerp!? The average Joe, with no experience, doesn't just start busting out springboard moonsaults, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: He's making it look almost effortless in that ring! I'm incredibly impressed by Cliff's athleticism!
Vasco Dias: You're also impressed by jackets you can turn inside out, so everyone can take that for what it's worth.
Terri Morasco: Cliff is bringing Randon up...
{Cliff takes Randon over with a quick snap suplex, landing Haynes hard on the mat. "Your Trustworthy Ginger" begins to scale the turnbuckles as Haynes writhes in pain on the canvas... but Brooklyn Madrox takes the opportunity to shove Cliff off the top turnbuckle, drawing boos from the crowd! Cliff crashes all the way down to the floor, providing a huge opening for Randon! The other members of the Murder all take the opportunity to put a few boots to Cliff on the outside, trying to stomp him into the cement floor. Haynes is extremely slow to get up, staggering around when he does. He flashes a huge smile, knowing he has the advantage now. Haynes makes his way outside as the Murder backs off of Cliff. Randon brings Cliff up to run his head into the steel ring post! Cliff lays helpless on the cement floor as Haynes reaches under the ring... pulling out a bowling ball!}Vasco Dias: Now we're cooking!
Terri Morasco: This is a no disqualification match, so bowling balls are legal... the question is: what Haynes intends to do with that bowling ball?
{Haynes asks the Murder to move Cliff against the steel guardrail, and they help to move him into position for Randon. Vivienne Rodgers takes one of Cliff's ankles, and Mai Everstone the other... and they hold Cliff's legs open wide as Haynes backs away. Cook is slumped over, held prone... and Haynes rolls a strike with the bowling ball that lands directly in the Ginger jewels!}Vasco Dias: STE-RIKE!!!
Terri Morasco: I know it's no disqualification, but come on! This isn't right! Poor Cliff is in obvious pain and Haynes is relishing in it!
Vasco Dias: For the uneducated and unaware, which includes most of you, Haynes is a 220 bowler! I just wanted to share that.
Terri Morasco: I'm sure they'll put that on the back of his IWF trading card.
{Randon moves in on Cliff, furiously throwing some sloppy looking punches down on Cliff. Haynes turns around, walking away to bask in the crowd's boos as he gloats over what he's done. A fan reaches over the barricade, passing a strawberry Boba to a battered and beaten Cliff Cook. Cliff takes the Boba in hand, chugging it down. Cliff begins to nod his head, a surge of energy coming over him. Randon turns to find Cliff shaking his fists! Haynes lays in a big right hand, to little or no effect as Cliff powers up! Haynes lays in another, and Cliff no-sells it! Haynes tries for a third, but Cliff blocks it and lays in a kick to Randon's gut that causes Haynes to spit out his mouthpiece! Big DDT on the floor from Cliff!}Terri Morasco: The Boba seems to be fueling Cliff, Vasco! He's digging beneath the ring... looking for something...
Vasco Dias: He won't find a man-sized body under there, Morasco, I assure you.
Terri Morasco: Cliff has a kendo stick! Listen to this crowd!
Vasco Dias: Don't you do it, Ginger! Don't you do it!
{Despite Vasco's protests on commentary, Cliff cracks Randon across his back with the kendo stick to the audience's delight! A second shot lands with a "thwack!" The shots leave red marks on Randon's ghostly white skin! Cliff lands a third shot on Haynes back as Randon desperately tries to crawl away! Cliff twirls the stick before laying in one more lick that even makes Colt Collins flinch! Cliff discards the kendo stick and heads back inside the ring as April Madrox checks in on Randon Haynes. Tears welling up on his face, Randon is screaming, "my back!" Cliff runs the ropes... diving flying between the top and middle ropes with a suicide dive that takes out both April and Randon! Cliff pays no more attention to April, grabbing Randon instead and rolling him back inside!}Terri Morasco: That was absolutely amazing! Cliff Cook with a suicide dive that I wish we could see again!
Vasco Dias: How is he doing this!?
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn and the other members of the Murder are checking on April, and Haynes is in big, big trouble!
Vasco Dias: Do you see that look on Brooklyn's face, Morasco?! That's a woman with some hate in her heart and murder in her eyes right about now!
{Brooklyn slides up into the ring. Cliff is running the ropes, looking for another strike on Randon... when Brooklyn lays Cliff out with the "Wolf at the Door!"}Vasco Dias: Brooklyn is done playing games with this Ginger, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: Cliff never saw it coming, and he ate that shot hard! Cliff has put on a great showing against Haynes, but to take that shot from Brooklyn is something entirely different altogether.
Vasco Dias: He's out, Morasco. Cliff is out!
Terri Morasco: Haynes is crawling over to make the cover, draping an arm over Cliff as Brooklyn stands over the both of them...
{Colt hits the canvas, with no choice but to count...}
One!
...
Two!!
...
Three!!!
{Randon Haynes wins the second fall, becoming the new General Manager of Odyssey as he ties the score up at one!}Terri Morasco: This is an absolute travesty.
Vasco Dias: It's justice, Morasco! Justice has been served!
Terri Morasco: How can you say that!? I know it's no disqualification... but still, Cliff Cook is wrestling his first match! He's inexperienced and she took complete advantage of that fact.
Vasco Dias: Cliff shouldn't have struck April.
Terri Morasco: I don't think he meant to. Even if he did, it isn't as if the Murder didn't assault him first!
{Having helped April up, the other members of the Murder take the ring. They start to surround Cliff as Haynes tells them to "he's all yours." Suddenly the guitar of “Satellite” by Rise Against starts to hit the arena as Charlotte Shimizu, Rini Ishikawa and Natsha Walker come sprinting down the aisle! The Birds of Prey hit the ring with a vengeance, trying to do the right thing by helping Cliff Cook. They take the fight straight to the Murder, despite being at a numbers disadvantage. The numbers begin to turn the tide in the Murder's favor, however, as Colt Collin motions for security to try to help restore some order so the third fall can begin.}
Terri Morasco: This is chaos, Vasco! The Birds of Prey and the Murder are being separated by security so we can try to finish this match! That's no easy job for those men and women in the blue shirts, though!
Vasco Dias: Colt wants security to get them all out of here!
Terri Morasco: It's the only way we're going to have a match decided one-on-one between Haynes and Cook, the way it should be!
{Haynes motions to the curtain, and "Pumped Up Kicks" by 3Teeth begins to play. The Black Widow, Madjinn, Stephen Terrella and Portia make their way out from behind the curtain. The Black Widow and Stephen Terrella take the lead as they make their way toward the ring, with a heavily banged up Madjinn trailing behind, still feeling the effects of his drop from a twenty-foot ladder earlier in the evening.}
Vasco Dias: Randon is calling in more reinforcements!
Terri Morasco: How many people does this sleaze ball have in his pocket!? He has nine people lined up to help him beat Cliff!? Eight?!
{Terrella and the Black Widow hit the ring and start taking out some of the security, trying to free up some of the members of the Murder. Moving a step slower, Madjinn soon joins them. Shea and Vivienne go to work on Charlotte Shimizu. Colt grabs his head on the outside, then emphatically motions for more help from the back.}
Vasco Dias: Verona has some deep pockets, but I don't know if there are enough security members in the back to handle this!
Terri Morasco: You may be right. Haynes had a plan... and we're seeing it unfold...
{A large pop shakes the building as Nick Danger and the Kings of Flight come sprinting out of the back behind another wave of security. The Dangerous Kings didn't come unarmed, brandishing steel chairs. After the earlier events in the evening, Terrella stands ready and waiting for Nick Danger. The Kings of Flight go after Madjinn and the Black Widow! The chairs give the Dangerous Kings an advantage as Portia watches in horror. Vivienne and Shea start fighting up the ramp with Charlotte Shimizu. Rini and Natasha pair off against the Madrox sisters on the outside! The Dangerous Kings drive Savage Kingdom from the ring, with their fight spilling into the crowd. Mai Everstone goes out to help the Madrox sisters, however, security intercepts her and do their best to restrain her as the fight drifts away from the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Savage Kingdom and the Dangerous Kings are heading toward the back! The Murder and the Birds of Prey are heading who knows where! We may finally get the rest of this match without any more shenanigans now!
Vasco Dias: I enjoy shenanigans, Morasco!
{Cliff and Randon stare each other down from opposite corners. Haynes holds up one finger, smiling at Cliff. Without any warning, Kasey Vex blindsides "Your Trustworthy Ginger" from behind with a shot to the back of the head! The crowd boos as Vex kicks and stomps away at Cliff, sending him crawling back into the corner. Vex lays in a few more stomps on Cliff, pinning him against the bottom turnbuckle. Vex moves to an adjacent corner, gracefully moving to the top turnbuckle like a cat. She leaps off, landing two Doc Martens into Cliff's chest with the coast-to-coast dropkick!}Vasco Dias: This is magnificent! Kasey Vex has gone team Randon! How genius is that!? She's signed to an Odyssey exclusive deal; and what better way is there to move up the ranks than to get in good with your new general manager, Morasco!?
Terri Morasco: This has Edwyn Merrick written all over it, I know it!
Vasco Dias: Of course it does! Stop saying that like it's a bad thing, though!
{Having seen enough, Amber Vogel comes walking down the aisle, pointing at Vex. Little Miss Vex doesn't wait for the powerful Vogel to hit the ring, going out to meet her on the ramp. Amber lands some heavy punches on Vex to a big cheer from the crowd; but Vex is so quick, she easily avoids a big pump kick attempt. Vex comes right back, connecting with Three Back Spinning Heel Kicks to knock Vogel off the side of the ramp. Kasey jumps down, and the two women fight along the side of the stage to the back.}
Terri Morasco: Is anyone else going to interfere!? Cliff is done. There is no way he couldn't be because Haynes recruited a damn army to help him steal this match.
Vasco Dias: Welcome to the world of business, Morasco, where it's who you know. It's all fun and cute to give everyone Bobas and try to be everyone's friend; and it's also a trip to nowhere in life! You have to be ruthless! Cliff Cook is getting an education in that.
{Haynes demands a microphone as Cliff lays on the canvas in the corner. Randon kneels down over him.}Randon Haynes: For months now, you've been a thorn in my side. They should have fired you the day you were hired as a fucking intern! It's okay though, Ginger, because I'm going to expose your little secret. I don't know if you can hear me right now; but before I beat you, I have one more BIG surprise for you. You're going to suffer the way I have suffered having to endure
you!
{Haynes stands up.}Randon Haynes: Gentleman, come on out!
{The monstrous Tytus Rost and Cyrus appear from behind the curtain to boos. They make a long, slow walk down the ramp as Randon kicks Cliff to the outside beneath the bottom rope.}
Randon Haynes: Crush his voice box! Please!
{Tytus and Cyrus close in on Cliff. Tytus effortlessly lifts the 165lb Cliff Cook off the floor as Cyrus grabs a chair off the floor the Dangerous Kings left behind earlier during the melee.}Terri Morasco: No, no... enough! Enough! Cliff is a great guy that doesn't deserve this!
Vasco Dias: You don't have to kiss his ass, Morasco. He's not going to be around to help his mysterious boss run Sacrifice, anyway.
Terri Morasco: I like Cliff, Vasco! A lot of people do!
{‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’ by Ol Dirty Bastard hits, bringing the roof off the building! Allen Chaney comes out, beaten, bruised and sore... but with a baseball bat in hand to even the score!}Vasco Dias: What is this clown doing!?
Terri Morasco: Allen Chaney is here, and he has brought an equalizer!
{Cyrus swings the chair at Chaney, but Allen answers by swinging the bat at the chair! The impact knocks the chair out of Cyrus' hands and Chaney delivers a gut shot to Rost with the bat! Allen takes a swing at Cyrus back that would make George Brett proud! Cyrus recoils. Rost comes in hard with a big clothesline on Chaney, though! The two behemoths take a moment to recover from the damage Allen inflicted with the bat before pouncing on him. They lead Allen Chaney away from the ring toward an electrical box on the side of the stage... when Pax Stormcrow comes out to get himself a piece of Tytus and Cyrus! With the odds evened, Pax and Allen hold their own against Tytus and Cyrus as the crowd roars. With microphone still in hand, Randon is beside himself as he watches the four men disappear from sight.}
Randon Haynes: Ok. Ok. I'm going to have to do this myself. That's fine. I'm going to enjoy it.
{Haynes drops the microphone. He rolls to the outside, trying to get Cliff up while putting the chair around his neck. Footage of the Kings of Flight laying on the pavement in the parking lot appears on the Imperitron as Savage Kingdom make their way back down to ringside to Randon's absolute delight.}Vasco Dias: Things may have gone from bad to worse for the Ginger, Morasco.
{Terrella moves Haynes away and fixes the chair over Cliff's head and neck.}Terri Morasco: We need some help out here! Terrella will do this without a second thought!
{"Centuries" by Fall Out Boy hits, bringing Jennie Fenix walking toward the ring with a purpose. She locks eyes with all of Savage Kingdom as the crowd explodes for Jennie's arrival. Madjinn and Jennie have a moment between them, without a word being spoken. Madjinn looks back at Randon as Terrella holds Cliff in the chair. Both the Black Widow and Portia have eyes on Jennie. Madjinn looks at Terrella and shakes his head.}Randon Haynes: What are we doing?
{Terrella drops Cliff and the chair as Madjinn and the Black Widow start up the ramp. Terrella has a tense staredown with Jennie for a moment, Portia clinging to his arm.}Randon Haynes: You're not leaving!? Stephen?!
{Terrella looks back at Haynes, then walks up the ramp without a word, leaving Jennie and Randon standing face-to-face.}
Randon Haynes: It's you!? You!?
Jennie Fenix: Who else were you expecting?
Randon Haynes: No, it can't be you. How?! All of this time!? How!?
{Jennie offers Randon a palms up shrug of her shoulders in response. Cliff finds a second wind with the time Jennie has bought him and rolls Randon back inside of the ring! Haynes stands up, spinning around, confused. Cliff takes the apron, springboards off the top rope, hitting Haynes right in the face with a flying forearm he calls "One For the Boba"! Cliff makes a cover on Randon, hooking a leg deep. Colt Collins dives into position for a count, emphatically slapping the mat...}
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
{The referee signals for the bell!}
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
{Cliff pops up off the cover, celebrating on spaghetti legs as his music plays.}Vasco Dias: Jennie Fenix is our Sacrifice General Manager!?
Terri Morasco: Thanks to a valiant effort from Cliff Cook here tonight, apparently, she is! Cliff has overcome all of the odds being stacked against him to defeat Randon Haynes 2-1 on the biggest stage of them all!
Vasco Dias: I'm speechless. But I've always liked Jennie. She's been one of my absolute favorites.
Terri Morasco: Right. You're going to need a lot more Blistex, I think.
{Cliff climbs the turnbuckles, basking in the warm reaction from the fans as Jennie points at him and then applauds.} —---------------------------------------------

IWF MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH4000 Word LimitWarren Harper (c) vs. Caleb Cannin
—---------------------------------------------
{ The stadium becomes pitch black as the lights turn off. Soon, all that remains is a lone spotlight on the center stage. A low fog begins to permeate across the stage and down the aisle. A heavy drum beat begins to play over the PA, whilst dozens of men dressed in centurion outfits. The centurions march in two single-file lines parallel to each other. They get into position and stand at attention, whilst the epic music begins to swell. }{ After about 90 seconds of the music, a large trapdoor opens up on the stage floor. The fog obscures the giant void left in the floor, but the bright spotlight reveals a large marble throne slowly rising out of the trapdoor. As the throne rises up to level with the stage, Caleb Cannin sits on the throne. He is dressed like Caesar in typical Roman emperor garb. The golden laurel wreath is fastened upon his head like a crown. The white toga drapes down to his shins, whilst a purple sash is adorned over it. The throne finally stops rising as the trapdoor closes underneath. Caleb has his eyes closed as the camera breaks through the fog to capture a shot of him. Once the throne stops moving, Cannin opens his eyes and reaches down to his feet. He picks up a spear and holds it to his chest before gesturing out to the ring. The centurions all do a 90 degree turn and stomp in unison. The Future taps the bottom of the spear onto the ground, prompting all the centurions to stomp again. After a few stomps, Cannin stands up from his throne and steps down onto the stage. The centurions begin to congregate, as they form a V-shape in front of Cannin. Caleb taps the spear to the ground one more time, right before hoisting it above his head and yelling. The centurions stomp one last time as the lights black out again. }
“The Future is… NOW.”{ The opening riff of “Epic” by Faith No More blasts over the PA as Caleb Cannin breaks his way through the centurion formation. He has ditched the toga for a white leather jacket, with his logo fashioned in gold on the back. His tights are all-white, except for some green and gold laurel designs on the legs. The Future takes the time to stop for the camera and unzips his jacket to reveal a t-shirt. It has a photo of him holding up the IWF World Champion, with text reading “THE ERA OF THE FUTURE”. He flashes a smug grin before carrying on with his entrance. }Vasco Dias: “Now that is how you make a championship-level entrance, Morasco!”
Terri Morasco: “Caleb Cannin can have all the pomp and pageantry he wants, but this is his biggest test to date. He has waited nearly an entire year for this moment, so we’ll have to see if he has learned anything since coming here to IWF.”
Vasco Dias: “I can guarantee you that Cannin has studied tape and watched Warren very closely. I think I even saw him taking notes for the main event of Night One!”
Terri Morasco: “We saw Warren Harper do what many thought was impossible when he tapped out Dean Harper to win the IWF World Championship. You have to believe that Warren can’t be at a full one-hundred percent after last week’s bout.”
{ Caleb, meanwhile, has entered the ring and climbs up to the turnbuckles. He points at himself and shouts “THIS IS MY TIME! MY TIME!” as the audience gives a mixed, though mostly negative, reception. He hops down from the turnbuckle and waits in the corner for the champion to make his entrance. }{ The lights change, flickering purple briefly. }“Mirror Mirror on the wall
Show me truth or none at all
Break the glass and walk away
I’m done with everything.”{ The lights settle on a softer, more stable yellow in time with the opening drums and guitar riff of “Done With Everything” by Line So Thin. The crowd are divided for Warren Harper as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face. The IWF World Championship is worn around his waist and he gestures to it briefly before continuing.
He then heads towards the ring, solely focused on his own business in that ring. At the edge of the ring, he closes his eyes and takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, walking along it and climbing the turnbuckle.
He then perches himself on the corner, head bowed towards the canvas, eyes closed. He takes a series of slow deep breaths, relaxing himself in a brief meditation almost. Warren finally raises his head, no longer looking down on anything, but ahead. He slowly opens his eyes and relaxes, smiling again.
The music slowly fades away and the lights return to normal as he hops down into the ring and waits in the corner. A true fighter and sportsman unlike so many in this business and in his bloodline before him. Warren was a much better man, he just had to hold onto that belief. }Terri Morasco: “Warren Harper showed everybody that he was willing to go through hell in order to win that championship. A last man standing match, the Roulette and last week at Night of the Immortals, but now he’s going up against an opponent he’s never faced before. The champion is going to need a game plan if he wants to keep that title tonight!”
Vasco Dias: “I don’t think Warren has a shot of keeping that world championship tonight. And I’m not even talking about just Caleb Cannin! What about the Joker in the Pack? There’s potential for another cash-in right here tonight.”
Terri Morasco: “How ironic would that be for Cannin, who has cashed in his own Joker in the Pack shot for tonight.”
{ Warren is content with waiting in the corner, but Caleb decides to step up to him. The Future talks intensely with the champion, though most of his words are not caught on any microphones. Warren simply holds up his title, but Cannin takes the disrespect a step further by pulling out his gum and sticking it right onto the forehead of the champ. Harper tries to take a swipe at Caleb, who backs away and laughs as the referee separates the two opponents. }Terri Morasco: “That’s disgusting! How can this brat call himself the future of this business when he goes and pulls something like that?”
Vasco Dias: “I take it that you’ve never heard of mind games, Morasco, because that’s what this is! Cannin is getting in the head of the champion before the bell even rings. Brilliant!”
{ Champion and challenger stare each other down whilst Alison Valance begins the ring introductions. }
Alison Valance: “Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the IWF World Championship! Introducing first, the challenger…”
{ The crowd begins to boo, though there are a couple cheers mixed in as Cannin smirks. }Alison Valance: “From Washington, D.C… weighing in at 219 pounds, he is The Future… CALEB CANNIN!”
{ Caleb motions for the belt to be wrapped around his waist as he stares daggers at Warren. }
Alison Valance: “And his opponent, from London, England…”
{ A better reception for Warren, though still mixed. }Alison Valance: “Weighing in at 205 pounds… he is the IWF World Champion… the Demon Slayer, WARREN HARPER!”
{ Warren snarls and lifts up the championship, daring Caleb to come and take it. Blue Shoes comes in and takes the title from Harper, lifting it up before the bell rings. }Terri Morasco: “For Caleb, this will be his first ever world title match of his career. For Warren, his second defense at Night of the Immortals. Experience will play a factor, to be sure.”
Vasco Dias: “But look at Cannin. He’s taking his time, getting a feel for the space and he’ll be waiting for the champion to make mistakes.”
{ Both men circle around the ring. Caleb continues to talk at Warren, who has a stone-cold expression. They eventually lock up with a collar-and-elbow to begin, with Warren showing his superior technical ability by forcing Cannin into a side headlock. The champion smiles as Caleb struggles to escape, trying every which way to get out of the hold. He attempts to back Harper up to the ropes and toss him away, but Warren keeps a tight grip on the headlock. Eventually, frustration kicks in and Cannin stomps Warren’s inside foot. The brief release allows Caleb a moment to breathe whilst Warren steps back. The champion takes a swing, but Cannin ducks the strike. He pops up behind Warren, who turns around to receive a double-handed chop. Warren simply looks down at his chest and brushes it off, chuckling at Cannin’s attempt. He gives a chop back to Caleb, who nearly crumples from the pain. The Future tries to compose himself, while Warren laughs and gestures for the challenger to bring it on. Caleb rears back for another double-handed chop. Warren takes the hit and steps back. His chest has a red hand-shaped mark on it now. The champion leans back as if he’s going to deliver another chop… but he sweeps Cannin’s leg instead. Caleb falls on his back, allowing Warren to make a lightning-quick cover.
ONE-
Cannin kicks out!
The challenger scrambles back to his feet while Warren rebounds off the ropes and hits a dropkick. Cannin gets sent back down to the mat and takes the opportunity to roll out of the ring. He takes his time and allows Blue Shoes to get up to a count of six while Warren waits impatiently. Caleb gets up onto the apron and steps back inside. Before Warren can do anything, the challenger immediately slips back outside. The referee restarts the count as Cannin walks around ringside.}
Terri Morasco: What is he doing?
Vasco Dias: Mind games.
{Warren isn’t willing to keep playing this game and speared Caleb on the outside against the barricade. Caleb hits him with a couple shots to the neck before Warren hits him with a Regal-Plex. Then tossing him back into the ring before the blue shows gets to 10.}{Caleb hits Warren with a Rope-assisted slingshot suplex. Warren Spinning Heel Kick causing Caleb to hit the mat. Warren picks Caleb up and hits him with a Swinging Neckbreaker into the turnbuckle.}Vasco Dias: Warren is not showing any mercy here.
{Warren backs off only to come running back with a Overhead Kick to Caleb. Then he backs off and does it again.}
Vasco Dias: Warren has some anger he has to work out.
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure it’s directed in the right direction.
{Caleb rolls out of the way of a third causing Warren to hit the turnbuckle. Caleb gets to his feet on the outside slowly.}Terri Morasco: That had to hurt Warren.
Vasco Dias: Caleb made a smart move but will that be enough?
{Warren favoring his leg a little looks to where Caleb is standing, glances to where the belt is with the timekeeper, shaking his head. If Caleb wants to piss away his shot at the title but gets disqualified that’s his business. Warren leans against the ropes, smiling at the crowd as Blue Shoes starts counting again..}
Vasco Dias: Warren making the decision not to keep playing has made Caleb a little angry.
Terri Morasco: I’m concerned you’re right.
{ Caleb rolls back into the ring, using the ropes to get back in, as he crosses the ropes Warren hits him with a fast Enziguri, going for the pin

Caleb kicks out.}Terri Morasco: Warren wants to end this.
Vasco Dias: Warren needs that belt to feel whole. He’s not gonna let this go easy.
{Warren takes a moment to breath before kicking Caleb in the ribs.}Terri Morasco: A little petty, Warren.
Vasco Dias: It’s within his rights.
{Caleb pops up and Dropkicks Warren through the ropes to the outside.}Vasco Dias: oh, come on!
Terri Morasco: Within his rights, Vasco.

Terri Morasco: That’s not what twitter is suggesting…
{Warren climbs the turnbuckle but Caleb kicks him in the knee dropping him back onto the mat, climbing into the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Brilliant move there.
{Caleb picks Warren up and hits him with a Shoulder breaker.}
Terri Morasco: Warren has to be feeling this.
{Caleb moves away from Warren, shaking his head, but Warren struggles his feet and hits him with a Crisis Of Faith.}Terri Morasco: Warren being reckless here.
Vasco Dias: When isn’t he?
{Caleb and Warren seem to be laying on the apron for a moment, catching their breath.}Vasco Dias: These two are going to kill each other. I’m kind of okay with it.
Terri Morasco: Vasco, you can’t say that!
{ Caleb quickly hits Warren with a Brainbuster onto Apron.}
Terri Morasco: Ouch.
{Caleb moves off the apron. Climbing the ropes, but Warren grabs his leg keeping him from getting up high enough to do another move.}
Vasco Dias: Not over yet, then.
Terri Morasco: How much more can Warren take?
{Caleb looks down at Warren and tries to shake him off, but Warren seems to be using Caleb’s leg to pull himself back to his feet.}Terri Morasco: Harper is not giving up.
{ Caleb drops down from the ropes, causing Warren to stumble a little but gets back in the ring. Caleb hits him with a Buckle bomb.}Terri Morasco: Warren said he would do anything to keep the belt. I was hoping he wasn’t being literal.
Vasco Dias: I mean, I always assume Warren is literal.
{Caleb hits Warren with a doublestomp to Warren’s shoulder.}Terri Morasco: Another solid hit from Caleb here.
{ Caleb moves from Warren, ‘I swear to god Harper. I don’t want to kill you. Just let it go’.}Vasco Dias: I don’t know why he is trying to reason with Harper. He’s not one to listen to reason.
Terri Morasco: Caleb isn’t a monster, Vasco.
{Caleb climbs to the top of the turnbuckle as Warren punches him solidly in the spine. Caleb drops to the mat. Warren gets on top of him and starts punching him with both hands.

Warren whips the blood from his mouth before kneeing Caleb in the stomach. Caleb hits him in the head and in the throat. Warren punches him in the side.}Terri Morasco: The belt might be forgotten at this point.
Vasco Dias: Can you blame them? With everything they’ve thrown at each other?
{Warren and Caleb break apart, both breathing a little hard.}Vasco Dias: They have both been putting their all into this match and neither seems willing to give up.
Terri Morasco: But they both have to have a limit somewhere.
{Warren is breathing hard, leaning against the ropes. Caleb is still holding himself up.}Terri Morasco: Don’t they?
{ ‘Come on harper, you got more than that!’ Caleb taunts as he head-butts Warren, causing him to stagger back slightly, touching his head.}Terri Morasco: Oh no…
Vasco Dias: Yes! More petty violence!
{Warren glares before he head-butts Caleb back. Caleb head-butts Warren with a smirk. Warren hits him again and Caleb hits him again.}Terri Morasco: These two are not letting up are they?

{The ref checks on both Warren and Caleb.}Vasco Dias: Someone has to grab the belt.
{The ref looks to the time keeper who shrugs.}Vasco Dias: This match will continue until someone gets a pin.
Terri Morasco: If you get out of your seat Vasco, I swear I will hit you.
{ As both men seem to be struggling to respond to official we suddenly see a shot of the backstage medical area. A lot of commotion can be heard as it appears IWF medical staff are pleading with Allen Chaney whose appearance creates a huge pop in the arena. Chaney seems to be ignoring their advise to not risk further injury as he pushes his way past them, sporting a very noticeable limp as he hobbles towards the gorilla position! The camera keeps following him as he clutches the Joker in the Pack briefcase to his ribs… Chaney… Chaney is cashing in! }Vasco Dias: No! No this is disgraceful, this is interference!
Terri Morasco: This crazy bastard is actually going to follow through, even after a hellacious match earlier!
{ Chaney’s music hits to a massive roar from the capacity crowd who go absolutely wild when he emerges onto the stage. Chaney grimaces as he limps through clear pain but he’s determined as he marches down the ramp. The crowd reach out to pat him on the arm and encourage him towards the ring as the noise in this stadium is absolutely phenomenal, you can barely hear yourself think. Allen marches around the ring and towards the officials. }Terri Morasco: Listen to this noise… how is this man even still walking?
Vasco Dias: Somebody section him, he’s a danger to himself!
{ Chaney hands the briefcase to the official at ringside, slapping it hard as the crowd goes absolutely nuts. He turns to make his way to the ring to try and take advantage of the two men who are still not up yet… but the referee stops him getting in the ring!? }Terri Morasco: What the hell is going on here!?
Vasco Dias: He’s taking out the trash!
{ Allen is livid, he demands to know what’s going on. The referee points back towards the ringside area where the official is trying to get Chaney’s attention. He points at the contract, motioning towards the bottom as Allen jumps off the ring apron to remonstrate with him. The pair argue back and forth but it appears… Allen’s paperwork is missing a signature! Chaney can’t believe it, he snatches the contract from the official who does his best to try to explain. Allen’s nostrils begin to flare as he grabs the briefcase and hops the barrier, making an immediate beeline for a route to the backstage area. }
Terri Morasco: What on earth… why wouldn’t they…
Vasco Dias: I have a feeling Allen forgot about an all important signature, always read the fine print!
Terri Morasco: You don’t mean… oh come on, no!
{ Warren and Caleb are still looking worst for wear as we join Allen backstage as he barges through, pushing people out of the way and knocking over tables as he rages through the backstage area. He grabs a member of the IWF staff by the scruff of the neck and begins to yell. }Allen Chaney: Where the fuck is he!?
IWF Staff: I… who?
Allen Chaney: You know damn well –
{ A member of security manages to intervene and begins pointing towards the parking lot. }IWF Staff: He left five minutes ago.
{ Allen begins to sprint, with a noticeable limp as he clutches his ribs, the camera doing its best to keep up with him. Eventually he barges through a door to the parking lot where he spots a car with tinted windows… with Roberto Verona standing at the backdoor, leaning over the top of it with a smile. He climbs in and slams the door as the driver immediately hits the accelerator, the tyres screeching loudly in the night air. Chaney tries to chase the car down but just as he gets close it finally begins to pull away as we are left with a shot of Chaney staring at the ever increasingly distant red lights with dismay. }Vasco Dias: Looks like the boss has a flight to catch, he’s a busy man. Maybe he should have scheduled an appointment?
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me!? Chaney just got screwed on a technicality.
Vasco Dias: Cry me a river, Morasco. Caleb Cannin ensured he got the right signature to make his shot legitimate, just like every other Joker for eleven years, do the rules not apply to Allen?
Terri Morasco: You and I both know that – wait… it appears the two competitors are beginning to get to their feet!
{ Both men struggle to lift themselves up, not remotely distracted by the drama unfolding around them whilst they took a moment to recover for a final push. The walk towards each other and begin to unload fist after fist much to the delight of the capacity crowd. Warren seems to gain an upper hand with a devastating right hook which sends Caleb staggering across the ring… but just as he tries to capitalise with a clothesline Caleb ducks! Warren turns around right into a stiff kick to the midriff and Cannin has him locked in for the Cannin Ending, he’s looking to finish this one off here! Warren continues to struggle but he cannot prevent himself from being planted! Caleb goes for the cover, 1…. 2…. Wait! The official cannot hit the three as Warren just about managed to drape a leg on a nearby rope! Caleb cannot believe it, he absolutely had Warren here but the proximity to the rope has denied him a three count. }Terri Morasco: We were moments away from a new champion!
Vasco Dias: Harper used his nous to rescue himself from oblivion, but he’s not in great shape.
Terri Morasco: Can Caleb capitalise!?
{ Cannin wastes no time, he drags Warren by the leg into the middle of the ring and lifts him back up again, beginning to hook him for another Cannin Ending. He tries to plant it but with all the energy he has left, Warren drives Caleb back into a corner, taking the wind out of hm. Caleb keeps the hold locked in, forcing Harper to drive into his midriff once again. }
Terri Morasco: Caleb was so close, Harper is trying to fight back into this.
Vasco Dias: This next moment could be pivotal.
{ Harper thrusts forward one final time and Caleb eventually lets go, unable to handle the wind being driven out of him any longer. Harper staggers away as Cannin limps out of the corner to get some quite literal breathing space… but as he does so Warren catches him as his legs seem to be giving way and plants Cannin with a Trauma Response! Cannin hits the deck and Harper slumps on top of him… 1…. 2….. 3!!!! Warren Harper retains his IWF Men’s World Championship as both men lay in an exhausted pile barely able to stand. }Alison Valance: And here is your winner…. AND STILL IWF Men’s World Champion, Warrrrrreeeeennnn Haaaaaaaarrrrpppeeeerrrrr!
Vasco Dias: Warren has done it! He conquered his romantic demon and managed to fend off a very spirited Caleb Cannin!
Terri Morasco: Caleb was moments away from the gold, he has no shame here, but the finer margins just about favoured Harper!
{ Warren slowly begins to stir and quickly hugs the let to his chest as the official drapes it next to him. Medical officials rush down to check on both men as Caleb’s ribs really took a beating at the end there and he’s struggling to breathe comfortably. Harper turns and gives a respectful nod to Caleb, briefly grabbing his hand in a show of respect for the fight he brought before lifting himself up by the ropes. He holds the belt up high as he finally is able to drink in the moment. }Terri Morasco: I hope Caleb is ok, he doesn’t look great here.
Vasco Dias: He’s in capable hands, but the belt is in the hands of Warren Harper.
Terri Morasco: He can now finally rest easy and enjoy his moment – but who will be coming next for a shot at the crown with the Heir to the Throne ready to begin?

IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
2000 Word LimitNick Knight (c) vs. Serenity Holmes vs Masao Akiyama
—---------------------------------------------
{ After Night One of Night of the Immortals, the audience of Rome, Italy, inside the Stadio Olimpico has helped to fill every seat inside the historic venue. The international appeal of demographic success from IWF due to Night One's insane feedback and reaction has increased the energy for Night Two. The camera shows the live broadcast of this pay-per-view event and pans around the audience, highlighting the various fans from different parts of the world. The transition to the announcer's section is where Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco are seated behind the commentary table, preparing to call the action for the night's headliner. }
Vasco Dias: Welcome back to IWF's Night of the Immortals as we approach the end of Night Two! The IWF Invictus Championship is on the line in our co-main event of the evening! Nick Knight, a dominant Invictus Champion, has his work cut out for him, especially considering who his challengers are. He will be defending the championship in a triple-threat match, which means the champion can lose without being pinned or submitted.
Terri Morasco: The most significant day in professional wrestling has arrived! However, Nick Knight has the odds stacked against him and thrives in these environments. In addition, he'll have a rematch against Masao Akiyama, who faced him before All and Chane decided to decide on that match. Roberto Verona's influence has spread across the company, and Nick Knight expressed how much he hated Roberto Verona.
Vasco Dias: Let's remember Masao Akiyama, who feels cheated out of his opportunity. He wants to become Invictus Champion, but Serenity Holmes is a dark horse and an unexpected factor. She's come up short in the Iron Maiden, The High Staes and even earned a shot at the IWF Women's World Championship. She's been granted an opportunity after making a deal with Roberto Verona.
Terri Morasco: Every competitor in this match has a story, but whoever becomes Invictus Champion will have their book stamped in the IWF's history. Let's save time as we turn it over to Alison Valance, who wants to begin the introductions.
The camera transitions to the primary camera angle, showing the entire ring from a fixed position. Inside the ring is Alison Valance, dressed formally and beautifully for the night, standing in the center with a microphone in her right hand. She looks off to the audience, chanting frantically but with high energy.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Alison Valance: The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Imperium Wrestling Federation Invictus Championship!
{ "Test of Faith" by Exyz/SENZO/Momokusu Iwata is the first of three entrance music to play around the interior of the Stadio Olimpico. The large screens and high-definition sets play the competitor's video packages. Still, the audience cheers to see Masao Akiyama stepping out from the backstage area to be center stage and receiving praise. He looks determined and self-motivated as she stands strong, presenting a high wave of confidence before walking down the narrow pathway to the ring. }
Alison Valance: Introducing first! Hailing from Kagoshima, Japan! At six feet, five inches tall, weighing in at 275 pounds! He is Masao Akiyama!
{ The audience cheers at the announcement of his name. Masao stands in front of the ring before walking to the steel steps. He stops before them and slams his hands along the steps as he climbs. Akiyama walks along the apron and then moves through the ropes to enter the ring. The robe over his body nearly hides his strong physical structure. Still, as he stands on the middle turnbuckle of his corner, he removes the robe, allowing it to fall to the canvas, and raises his arms, accepting praise from the Italian audience. Masao falls to the canvas and stands on his feet, warming up in his corner as his entrance music fades to silence. }
Vasco Dias: Masao Akiyama has never looked more ready than he is now! He's been itching for the opportunity to get another shot at the Invictus Championship. He has the odds to his advantage in this triple threat but expects Masao to bring the fight to both competitors.
{ The introductory guitar riffs followed by the lights dimmed to highlight the entrance video showcased sparks, massive boos, and negative reactions. "Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat officially begins cueing production to have the strobe lights flash multi-color and around the audience, who are not pleased by seeing Serenity Holmes walking out from backstage sporting a leather black jacket and a studded black hat worn backward. She stands center stage and looks at the audience before posing for the stage, allowing high-pressure smoke to rise on each side. Serenity walks down to the ring with a focused, uneasy stare but keeps her eyes on Masao Akiyama. }
Alison Valance: Introducing next! Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, seven inches tall, weighing in at 127 pounds. She is the "22nd Century Girl" Serenity Holmes!
{ Serenity stops before the apron and looks around to see the fans at ringside berating her. She rolls her eyes, hops on the apron via her left knee, and then stands fully. She walks over to the turnbuckle and stands on the middle one outside the ropes to remove her jacket and toss her hat to the fans at ringside. Unfortunately, the hat gets tossed back to her, and Serenity flips off the fans, sparking a louder negative response. She yells back expletives and leaps over the top rope to be in her corner, pointing to Masao, who doesn't respond. Serenity's music has ended,, allowing the chants to increase to the point she covers both ears. }
Terri Morasco: Who cares about what they think?! Serenity Holmes made a deal that would benefit her. She's in the co-main event of Night Two for the IWF Invictus Championship, which means she can finally prove everyone wrong!
{ "Blood for Miles" by Deathstars invokes a mixed reaction, but with his recent statements against Roberto Verona, the audience supports him more than Serenity Holmes. IWF's Invictus Champion, Nick Knight, walks out from the backstage area sporting his wide-brimmed hat, the dark trench coat, and a plague doctor's mask in a bloody red and black design with the championship belt wrapped around his waist. He stands in the center and holds the championship, unhooking it to raise it above his head. Masao and Serenity stand in the ring, watching him hold the championship they covet. Instead, they revel in the challenge. Nick lets down the belt and then marches down to the ring. }
Alison Valance: Introducing the final competitor! Hailing from Hollywood, California! At six feet, two inches tall, weighing in at 245 pounds! He is the IWF Invictus Champion, "The Hollywood Butcher" Nick Knight!
{ Nick slides into the ring and takes off his accessories before throwing them out of the ring. He immediately stands on the middle turnbuckle, grasping the championship belt. Serenity and Masao watch intently, but Nick descends to the canvas and spins around, clutching the belt to him closely. Nick hands the championship over to the referee after giving a kiss on the nameplate. With his music coming to silence, the referee stands in the center of the ring, holding the championship belt high, then gives it to a ringside crew member. }
Vasco Dias: Look on the face of Nick Knight! That's not a champion who is scared; he is a champion who will defend his championship by any means! He enjoys being against the odds and taking on the impossible, and Nick will do everything to walk out and still be the Invictus Champion! Let's not waste any time! The triple-threat match for the IWF Invictus Championship starts now!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
{ Rome, Italy. They are more than grateful for this co-main event on Night Two. All three competitors are in their respective corners. Nick is warming up in the corner, Serenity holds onto each side of the top rope, and Masao stretches. The first one to be in the center of the ring is Nick, waving at both men, to which Masao answers. They both look at Serenity Holmes, who wants to fight, but unlike her, she drops down to the outside mat inciting a rioting wave of boos at her. }
Terri Morasco: Serenity Holmes decided to get out of the ring. You don't need to go in guns blazing in these matches. It's better to preserve your energy.
{ Nick yells at her to return to the ring, and she shakes her head. Masao turns Nick around and lands a kick into his ribs, followed by a strong Forearm Blow! The champion gets pushed back into a corner, and Masao continues the offense with a repeated Forearm Blow that blows into the head. The final blow comes from a Knife Edge Chop that stings across his chest, and the impact reverberates loudly enough for the audience to groan! }
Vasco Dias: Masao Akiyama applying the striking variance and strength advantage! He has Nick right where he belongs!
{ Masao holds onto Knight's right arm and then steps back to launch him into the opposing corner—Nick's back slams against the structure, keeping him at bay. Masao charges in from the opposing direction, but Nick slips behind him, allowing the contender to first collide into the turnbuckle chest. He rebounds, taking a few steps back from the impact and letting Nick hug him from behind for the German Suplex! }
Terri Morasco: German Suplex by the Invictus Champion! He carried Masao with his strength and was in control of the match! Watch out!
{ Nick stands up from the German Suplex and sees Makao rolling under the bottom rope to fall onto the ringside mat. Unfortunately for Nick, he turns around to see Serenity Holmes jumping off the top rope from the apron to land the Springboard Clothesline, which takes him down to the canvas! }
Vasco Dias: Sprinboard Clothesline! Serenity Holmes insertserself into the match, , and she sees Masao starting to rise!
{ While Nick is on the canvas recovering from the blow, Serenity runs to the ropes and rebounds to dive between the middle and bottom ropes. She attempts to spear her body into Masao, who catches her weight and holds her across his chest. He falls backward and launches her overhead, collapsing her body into the barricade behind her with a Fallaway Slam! }
Terri Morasco: Masao Akiyama with a Fallaway Slam after catching Serenity Holmes!
{ Serenity rolls back and forth in agony from the move. Masao turns back to face the ring and hops onto the apron before getting back into the ring. He walks over to Nick and reaches for his head, but Nick pops up to his feet with a European Uppercut into his chin! A couple more uppercuts keep him stumbling on his feet, and Masao attempts for a Clothesline, but Nick ducks under the arm, runs to the ropes, rebounds, and gets caught in Masao's arms for the Pendulum Backbreaker! }
Vasco Dias: Pendulum Backbreaker! Here is the pin attempt!
One!
T-!
{ Nick Knight kicks out, and Masao continues the offense. He slowly stands up before landing a Knee Drop on Nick's chest. He helps his opponent to stand and drills his knee into his ribs to keep the champion bent forward. He takes his head in a Front Facelock, then lifts him high to execute a Suplex in the center of the ring! }
Terri Morasco: Standard Suplex, and did you see the hangtime in holding him there?
{ Masao sits up from the Suplex until Serenity Holmes slides into the ring behind him. She runs to the ropes in front of Akiyama, rebounds, and drops straight into him for a Basement Dropkick that destroys him in the face. }
Vasco Dias: Basement Dropkick to Masao Akiyama! Serenity Holmes is back in the match!
{ She stomps down on his body repeatedly in a frustrated frenzy. Serenity turns her back to the opponent and then leaps off the mat for a Standing Moonsault, planting her weight onto his abdomen! She immediately hooks the right leg for the pin attempt!
One!
T-!
No! Masao powers her off, and she nearly flies across the ring. She rolls backward onto her feet, then runs forward to leap off the mat for a Standing Shooting Star Splash, landing on his ribs again! Serenity quickly hooks the leg! }
Terri Morasco: Shooting Star Splash off the run! What quick thinking by Serenity Holmes, and here comes another pin attempt!
One!
Tw-!
{ Akiyama kicks out from the pin, and Serenity stands up again. She turns around to see Nick slowly returning to his feet in the corner and charges into him to land a Running Elbow into his face. Serenity runs to the ropes after Nick grimaces and rebounds, but he launches forward to a thudding Lariat that turns her inside out! Serenity lands on the canvas, and Nick reaches for her hair, dragging her to the corner. }
Vasco Dias: Nick Knight has Serenity Holmes in his grasp,, which is the worst place you can be!
{ Nick holds her against the turnbuckles and Headbutts her. She falls onto the middle turnbuckle and delivers another headbutt, which causes her to sit in the corner. Nick runs to the corner, rebounds off the turnbuckles, then slides down into Serenity, landing the Sliding Clothesline that crushes her! Serenity rolls out from the corner onto the canvas, and Nick scrambles for a pin attempt. }
Terri Morasco: Sliding Clothesline by the Invictus Champion! Here is the pin attempt!
One!
Tw-!
{ Serenity kicks out from the pin, and Nick gets back on his feet. He stomps down on her head and helps her back up to stand, only to launch her into the ropes. She rebounds, and Nick goes for a backbody drop, but she gets launched to flip onto the shoulders of a standing Masao, who holds her in the Powerbomb position. Instead, Akiyama tosses Serenity into Nick's body, allowing both competitors to fall through the ropes and collapse to the outside mat. }
Vasco Dias: Masao Akiyama Powerbombs Serenity Holmes into Nick Knight! Masao has been performing amazingly well in the match, and he's looking to fly!
{ Italy stands with Masao and encourages him to dive. He runs to the ropes in a flash of speed and returns with added velocity to launch his body through the ropes and collide with both opponents, causing a chaotic crash on the ringside mat. Italy stands up, and the audience applauds in praise for the showcase of athleticism! }
Terri Morasco: Suicide Dive by the most prominent man in the match! Masao Akiyama is showing why he deserves to be in this match and letting everyone know he will do whatever it takes to become a champion!
{ Masao reaches down for the head of Serenity and has no problem throwing her back in the ring. Serenity crawls to the nearest corner and uses the ropes to stand up. Masao digs his shoulder into her ribs and lifts her to be seated on the top turnbuckle. He begins to climb onto the middle rope, but Serenity starts landing Elbow Blows into his head, attempting to stop him. A strong Knife Edge Chop from Masao slices her chest, and he pulls her in for a Superplex position. }
Vasco Dias: Oh no! Oh no! This differs from where you want to be in a time like this! Serenity Holmes is about to take the biggest fall of her lifetime!
{ Serenity tries to fight against it, but Masao stands upright. Luckily, Nick Knight slides into the ring and gets under Akiyama, holding him in the Powerbomb position. Nick launches them forward, with Masao Superplex Serenity Holmes in the center of the ring. The audience jumps from the Tower of Doom, and all three competitors are down on the canvas, trying their best to recover from their pain and fatigue. }
Terri Morasco: TOWER. OF. DOOM! Serenity Holmes took the worst of it, and Nick Knight was smart enough to get in that position! All three competitors are down on the mat, meaning the match can turn at any motion!
{ Nick is the first one to stand up, followed by Masao. Both men stand in the center of the ring and begin to trade blows back and forth. The audience of Italy is on their feet, watching these two men brawl like there's no tomorrow. Nick lands a headbutt that stuns Masao for a split second, and then Akiyama with a big boot, catching Knight off guard. Both men collapse onto a knee to escape their dazed moment until Serenity gets in between them to land Roundhouse Kicks back to back! }
Vasco Dias: Back-to-Back Roundhouse Kicks by Serenity! She still feels the pain from the Tower of Doom but refuses to back down! Both men are getting kicked right in the solar plexes!
{ Serenity takes a step back and attempts a Tornado Kick into Nick's head, but Nick ducks under it. He stands back up until Masao grabs him for the Samoan Drop! }
Terri Morasco: Samoan Drop!
{ Masao slowly gets back to his feet and turns around into a Spinning Back Kick into the ribs that leaves him bent forward. A superior football Kick into the shoulder blade stands Masao back up to his feet, and then a Leaping Enzuigiri Kick into his temple manages to have Akiyama fall chest first on the mat! }
Vasco Dias: What a sequence of kicks and strikes from Serenity Holmes! She's had enough and has been fighting through the pain to get back control!
{ With the momentum on her side, Serenity focuses on Nick Knight, who is slowly standing up on his right knee. Serenity runs to the ropes behind her, rebounds, and leaps sideways to drive her right knee into his chin for the Shining Wizard, planting him down on the mat! }
Terri Morasco: Moving Holmes! The signature Shining Wizard is here, and here is the pin! We may have a new IWF Invictus Champion!
One!
Two!
{ Nick Knight kicks out from the pin attempt! Serenity slaps her hands on the mat, having enough. On the other hand, she rolls under the bottom rope and stands on her feet. She looks off at Nick, rolling onto his stomach, then climbs to the top rope, looking to end it. }
Vasco Dias: Serenity could finish it all here! She's on the top rope and looking for the Red Bottoms! If she hits this, we will have a new IWF Invictus Champion!
{ Serenity sees her golden opportunity and leaps off the canvas. Nick rolls out of the way, and Masao catches her by the legs, having the under hooks in. He begins to spin around quickly, with Serenity flailing her arms around but getting dizzier with each spin. Masao continues to spin until he can no longer, with the audience counting up each rotation! }
Terri Morasco: The Giant Swing! Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm loving this! He's swinging Serenity Holmes around, and she's almost on the verge of throwing up!
{ She covers her mouth, trying her best not to vomit. On the other hand, after nearly 30 rotations, he releases her body, causing her to fly out of the ring. Masao takes a moment to lean against the ropes after being dizzy. The effect fades off, and he walks into the center of the ring until he is hugged from behind. With the arm in his grasp, Nick spins him around and pulls him in for a Lariat, nailing him with the Rainmaker! }
Vasco Dias: Welcome to Hollywood! Welcome to Hollywood! Nick Knight with the Rainmaker signature move! Akiyama is down, and here is the pin attempt!
One!
Two!
Th-No!
{ Masao shoots his body out of the pin attempt! Nick lies down on his side and takes a moment to breathe. He knows the end is getting close and decides to stand on his hands and knees. Unfortunately, Serenity is already on the apron and holds the top rope with both hands before leaping into the air for a Springboard Shooting Star Splash, collapsing her entire body on top of Knight's! }
Terri Morasco: Springboard Shooting Star Splash! Serenity's high-flying has been helping her so far in the match!
{ Serenity slowly stands up, covering her ribs with her right arm. She sees Nick roll off to the side and notices Masao still recovering from the Rainmaker. She quickly walks over to him as he gets on his feet and lands a Roundhouse Kick into his head that almost topples him into the nearest corner. Serenity then charges into the ropes and rebounds into Akiyama to deliver a Running Yakuza Kick into his chin that drops him down to the mat! }
Vasco Dias: Yakuza Kick! Serenity nearly took Akiyama's head off with the blow, and she's going to the top rope! The Phoenix Splash is inbound!
{ She holds onto the top rope with both hands and slowly climbs up to the rope. Unfortunately, Nick is on his feet and runs across the ring to leap onto the middle turnbuckle behind Serenity. He hooks one arm in a Half Nelson and the next in a Hammerlock before leaping backward to launch her overhead, causing the young athlete to crash face-first in the center of the ring! Rome goes into a massive cheer from the invasive maneuver, and Nick crawls over to roll his opponent onto her back for the pin attempt! }
Terri Morasco: SUPER NON-DAIRY CREAMER!!! HALF AND HALF-SUPLEX BY NICK KNIGHT OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! SERENITY HOLMES IS DOWN, MASAO IS DOWN AND HERE IS THE PIN!
One!
Two!
Thr-NO!
{ Serenity shoots her right arm off from the mat before the referee hand slaps the mat for the third time. Nick sits up, nearly ripping the hair out of his head, and looks over his shoulder at her downed body. The audience applauds all three competitors, and Nick stands on his feet before falling into the ropes for support. He slowly walks over to Serenity and reaches down for her lifeless body, dragging her to hold her in between the legs. Nick waves to the audience and smirks. }
Vasco Dias: HE'S GOING TO FINISH IT! NICK KNIGHT IS CALLING FOR THE BANNED IN MEMPHIS PILEDRIVER!
{ Serenity can barely stand, but the moment Nick reaches over, Masao summons the energy to be on his feet and destroy him with a blindsided Hidden Blade Style Elbow in the skull that knocks Knight to the canvas! }
Terri Morasco: TANEGASHIMA!!! MASAO AKIYAMA JUST NAILED HIS SIGNATURE ELBOW BLOW ON NICK KNIGHT! HE'S NOT FINISHED!
{ Nick is down on the canvas, but Masao can't wait. He rushes over to grab Nick and yank him back to his feet before launching him to the ropes. Upon the rebound, Masao launches Nick high in the air, catches him to hold him at full arm extension, and then drops him down on the mat with a high-angle Powerbomb! Rome explodes, and Masao flops over the body of the fallen champion to secure a pin! }
Vasco Dias: SAKURAJIMA!!! SAKURAJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Terri Morasco: MASAO AKIYAMA HAS HIT HIS FINISHING MOVE ON NICK KNIGHT! THE POP-UP LAST RIDE POWERBOMB BLEW HIS ENTIRE INTO SMITHEREENS!!! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION, HERE'S THE PIN!!
One!
Two!
Three-NO!
{ Serenity launches herself across the canvas to bulldoze the pin. She successfully breaks the pin attempt before the referee's hands are inches from counting the three. Masao rolls off Nick's body, and the competitors are down on the canvas again, but Italy is banging their feet and chanting in praise of the match's intensity. Serenity crawls back to the ropes and leans back against the bottom rope, watching both men struggle with fatigue. Masao slowly stands up and looks over to Serenity, who is slowly getting back on her feet. }
Vasco Dias: This match has put everyone on their feet! We almost thought Masao Akiyama had it, but Serenity prevented that from happening, and he doesn't appreciate it!
{ Masao charges over to Serenity, who falls, pulling the top rope with her to allow Akiyama to topple over to the ringside mat. Upon landing on the ringside mat, he fights the pain to get back on his feet, and when he turns around, Serenity shoots her body for a low-angle Suicide Dive, but she grabs onto the head and spins around to spike him into the ringside mat with a Tornado DDT! }
Terri Morasco: Heat Seeking Missile followed by a Tornado DDT! Serenity Holmes switches the offensive measure and needs Masao back inside the ring!
{ Masao lies in the center of the ring, and Serenity climbs onto the apron and then ascends to the top rope. Her back faces the fallen opponent, and she leaps off the mat for the Diving Phoenix Splash, collapsing her entire weight onto his ropes. The audience jumps in excitement from the landing, and Serenity hooks their legs up! }
Vasco Dias: DEADLINE TRAP COMPLETED! THE SIGNATURE SEQUENCE HAS BEEN DONE ON MASAO AKIYAMA! SHE'S GOING FOR THE PIN!
One!
Two!
Th-NO!
{ Masao shoots out of the pin by kicking out! Serenity rolls off from the kick-out and stands on her knees, wiping her sweaty hair from her face. Serenity couldn't stand that he kicked her out of that move and slowly stood back to her feet. She looks in between Masao and Nick before seeing Nick stand on his knees. She marches over to him and pulls him up to his feet, slaps him a couple of times in the head, and tells him that this is her opportunity. }
Terri Morasco: Serenity better keep her emotions in check. It's what's been getting her in all that trouble!
{ She digs into the body and begins to attempt to lift the man across her shoulders. However, he's too heavy, and he drops down to his feet, shoving her head in between her legs. Nick lifts her vertically off the mat, then sits down, spiking her head in the center of the ring! The audience explodes and demands that he make the pin as he rolls her over to do so! }
Vasco Dias: BANNED IN MEMPHIS!!! BANNED IN MEMPHIS!!!
Terri Morasco: YES! NICK KNIGHT IS GOING TO RETAIN THE IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
One!
Two!
Three-NO!!!
{ Before the referee's hand slaps the mat, Nick is dragged off from Serenity's body by Masao Akiyama. The referee waves his hands, letting the timekeeper's area the match continue. Nick slaps the mat in anger, Serenity rolls under the bottom rope to the apron, and Masao leans back on the canvas, doing his best to gain his breath. All three competitors are down again, and Nick turns over, staring into the eyes of Masao, who meets him back. )
Vasco Dias: JESUS CHRIST! NICK KNIGHT WAS ABOUT TO RETAIN THE INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT MASAO AKIYAMA SAVED THE MATCH AGAIN!
Terri Morasco: EVERYONE IS GIVING THEIR ALL TO BE A CHAMPION TONIGHT!!
{ Both men begin to rise on their last legs. They meet in the center of the ring to stare down with their foreheads touching. Holding nothing back, they unleash a barrage of blows and strikes at each other, engaging in a back-and-forth contest. Masao and Nick refuse to let go of each other in this exchange. They continue to throw with everything they have! }
Vasco Dias: THESE TWO MEN ARE SACRIFICING IT! THEY ARE DIGGING INTO THE LAST OF THEIR ENERGY!
{ Nick Knight ducks under a thrown right arm and comes behind Masao, attempting for the Half and Half Suplex; Masao slaps the hold off of him and spins around for that Hidden Blade Elbow, but the champion ducks under again, taking the arm to spin him around for the Rainmaker! }
Terri Morasco: WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD!!!
{ Masao falls to the canvas, but Nick still has the arm in his grasp. He drags Akiyama to his feet, shoves his head between his legs, and twists both arms. The audience stands on their feet to see Nick lift him off the mat before sitting on the mat for Package Piledriver! }
Vasco Dias: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY EFFN SHIT!
Terri Morasco: BANNED IN MEMPHIS '22!!! MASAO AKIYAMA IS OUT OF COMMISSION, AND NICK KNIGHT IS CRAWLING TO THE BODY FOR THE PIN!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-
Vasco Dias: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Terri Morasco: SERENITY HOLMES IS ON THE TOP ROPE!
{ Serenity Holmes is on the top rope and launches himself. She flies over the referee, stomping both her feet down on the back of Knight's head, interrupting the pin. The audience explodes in shock and awe as they see her rolling the knocked-out Nick Knight off of Akiyama and scrambling to hook the leg up with the referee making the pin! }
Vasco Dias: SHE GOT IT! SHE GOT IT! RED BOTTOMS!!!
Terri Morasco: SERENITY HOLMES IS PULLING A HEIST WITH THAT FINISHING MOVE! DOES THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL PAY OFF?!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
{ "Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat replays from the venue's surround systems, and all three competitors are on the mat. The referee reaches between the ropes to receive the IWF Invictus Championship belt as Serenity stands up. Once the referee descends to a knee, he helps her stand up on her feet, and she raises the IWF Invictus Championship belt with both hands, now realizing what has happened. }
Alison Valance: Here is your winner and the NEWWWWWWWWWWWW IWF Invictus Champion, Serenity Holmes!
{ Serenity leans against the corner turnbuckles and stares at the championship in her hands. She pressed it against her forehead, and although the audience was booing, she rose onto the middle turnbuckle and held the championship with one arm. Serenity points down to the fans at ringside and mocks them as she continues to hold the championship high. }
Vasco Dias: Well, if there's anyone happy at the moment, I know it's our CEO, Roberto Verona. When she made a deal with him, he used her to get what he wanted. Tonight, their deal has claimed the IWFwass Championship, and Ser,enity Holmes, has become victorious thanks to her newfound confidence.
Terri Morasco: Like it or not, she had to do what she had to do. Serenity Holmes made a deal that got her the opportunity of a lifetime. She will leave Night of the Immortals tonight as the IWF Invictus Champion.

{ Before the music starts, the tron lights to show a red sun slowly rising over a broad expanse of ocean. The image flies apart into a flurry of red feathers and pink flower petals as the music hits. When the introductory chorus drops, Charlotte strides out, right fist pumping into the air in rhythm with the words “Oh yeah”.
She circles the outside of the ring after the intro chorus and the first verse, pausing briefly at each side to work the crowd before climbing nimbly up to the apron before the last line of the verse. On the apron, she takes a running start from one corner towards the ringpost opposite. At the last second, she jumps up to the second turnbuckle and flips over the top rope, landing feet together and hands raised just as the chorus hits again. She again circles, pumping her fist high in time with the pounding guitar and screaming vocals of MYTH & ROID.
As the chorus comes to its end, Charlotte stands in the center of the squared circle and bows from her waist to the audience, her hands clasped at her chest. To her fading music, she strides purposefully to her corner and starts shaking out her hands and rolling her neck in preparation for the coming match. }Vasco Dias: I wonder how Charlotte Shimizu is feeling walking into this match knowing that she’s not only fighting the IWF Women’s World Champion, but she is also fighting: THE BOSS! The General Manager of Sacrifice! JENNIE! FENIX!
Terri Morasco: What a shock that was, but Charlotte Shimizu had better be walking into this match, not looking at her boss – at least not one that she likes – but rather, she better be looking at Jennie as the champion and be ready to bring everything she has, because Jennie has proven herself as a formidable competitor. And after what Charlotte Shimizu did last week against The Murder, earning a pinfall victory for her team over Brooklyn Madrox, Charlotte needs to bring that tonight!
{ The lights throughout the Stadio Olimpico all shut down, and the Imperitron lights up…we are treated to the backstage area with the camera focused on a plaque on the front door: CO-GENERAL MANAGER the plaque reads, and the door swings open where the recently unveiled Jennie Fenix is standing there with the championship on her shoulder she is dressed for her grand entrance. The Fenix Sisters beanie atop her head, with a slight visibility of the Purge mask underneath – she has on a black hoodie, currently unzipped, wearing a white and lavender decorated sports bra underneath, and her own decorated pants that match her top; a tight waistband, tightened with the string adorning her waist and abdomen. Sitting inside of the room with an icepack held to his head is her assistant, Cliff Cook. }Jennie Fenix: Are you sure you’ll be okay?
Cliff Cook: I’ll be fine, boss! Go get her!
{ Jennie nods, and pivots on her feet – just as she gets a stride, the Imperitron goes off…and the crowd is buzzing in anticipation for the arrival of the IWF Women’s World Champion while Charlotte Shimizu paces back and forth inside of the ring. We don’t have to wait much longer when you hear the opening of “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy start playing. }Du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Du-du-du-du-du-du-du{ The lavender spotlight scours the audience, and the crowd is already deafening… }Terri Morasco: It’s that time, Vasco! The main event! For the second year in a row, Jennie is going to be walking to the ring as the defending IWF Women’s World Champion!
Vasco Dias: There’s no denying that she earned her spot here!
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries{ The Purge masks throughout the stadium are starting to light up the audience and the crowd bellows out a loud cheer, earning the attention of the spotlight as they see Jennie Fenix standing with the IWF Women’s World Championship hoisted high – a beacon, as the camera zooms in on the lavender hued Purge mask while she remains in a wide stance still holding the title high…the crowd’s noise resonates many times over, and the camera catches a glimpse of Charlotte Shimizu inside of the ring as she is already ready for this match to get underway. Back to Jennie, and she drapes the championship over her shoulder. }Vasco Dias: The Roman crowd embraces their champion, and one who has been unveiled as one of our boss’s! I still can’t believe that, Terri!
Terri Morasco: I can’t, either, and it’s just– unbelievable. I’m sure she’s going to have a lot of questions to answer regardless of the outcome here tonight!
{ The camera angle shifts overhead, almost a helicopter view, as Jennie now walks through the crowd toward the ring – the crowd masses around her, as it seems like tens of thousands of flashes are constantly going off with people taking pictures of the monumental moment…Jennie doesn’t break her stride, but she still does fistbump much of the crowd on the way, and high five as many as she can on the way – she doesn’t have her usual antics of stopping to take selfies with them, and although the mask hides her facial features, her head remains forward – a line directly to her challenger.
She reaches the barricade relatively fast, and hops atop it – she stands there for a moment, scouring the crowd momentarily before finally pulling her hood back, and taking the mask off…she flings it backward into the crowd, where some of the crowd battle for it. She then unzips the hoodie and flings it backward as well, where the same thing ensues…and finally…the beanie. She remains perched on the barricade all the while, and again hoists the championship overhead. }Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen! On her way to the ring! SHE IS! THE DEFENDING! IWF! WOMEN’S! WORLD! CHAMPION! SHE IS! JJJJJJJJJJEEEEENNNNNNNNNNIIIIIEEEEE! FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXX!!!!
{ The crowd goes into a huge uproar as Jennie’s name is announced, and she hops down from the barricade – Jessica Andrews seems almost unsure of how to respond to the recently revealed boss, and steps forward to hold the ropes open, but Jennie gestures her away. }Terri Morasco: It seems everyone wants to be on her good side now.
Vasco Dias: Charlotte better not worry about that if she hopes on walking out with the title here tonight.
{ Jennie steps between the ropes to finally enter the ring, and starts shouting a few things toward Charlie while pointing toward herself…the sound of the audience drowns out anything making everything inaudible. Jennie spins on her heels, and climbs to the second turnbuckle…she raises the title up, showing it to the crowd for several seconds. The crowd continues to cheer her on, and Jennie steps up to the top turnbuckle using that to backflip backwards, landing on her feet, and quickly spins to raise the title again upward this time closing the gap between herself and Charlie. Jessica Andrews is there to ensure the action doesn’t start until she calls for the bell, and she takes the championship from Jennie while the music dies down. Jennie and Charlotte back up to their respective sides. }Vasco Dias: This is about to get underway!
Alison Valance: The following contest is THE MAIN EVENT, and it is for the IWF Women’s World Championship! FIRST! The challenger, fighting out of Tahlequah, Oklahoma – she is the 2024 Iron Maiden winner! THE IRON HAWK! CHARLOTTE! SHIIIIIMIIIIIZUUUUU!
{ The crowd cheers at the mentioning of the challenger, as Charlotte raises her hands in success. }Alison Valance: And the champion! Fighting out of GLASGOW, SCOTLAND! She is the 2023-24 Heiress to the Throne! THE DJINNIE! THE LEGO LORD! JEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNIIIIEEEEEEEE FEEEEENNNNNIIXXXXXXXX!!!!
{ Jennie raises her hands again to the air. The camera then focuses on Jessica Andrews. }Alison Valance: The referee is JESSICA ANDREWS!
{ Jessica nods to the crowd, but then holds the championship high to show the crowd, Charlotte, and Jennie what is on the line – Jessica then heads to the edge of the ring and hands the title to the timekeeper before returning to the center of the ring. She signals for the bell. }DING!Terri Morasco: And here we go!
{ The main event of Night of the Immortals is underway, and Jennie and Charlotte are quickly circling the ring – each woman is looking for an opportunity to swoop in and take the other by surprise, but neither one is able to find that opening. }Terri Morasco: How you start the match is incredibly important because then you are setting the pace, and dictating the match! Both of these women know that, and neither one of them wants to be the first one to get caught with a mistake.
Vasco Dias: I still can’t believe that Jennie is one of the boss’s! I’m going to root for her, and maybe I’ll get a raise.
{ Jennie is the first to launch in, going for a leg sweep! Charlie jumps over it, and immediately goes for a spinning roundhouse kick as Jennie is still recovering – Jennie sees it coming, and is able to narrowly duck the kick…during the spin, Charlie gives up her back and Jennie takes advantage by running her against the ropes and rolls backwards for an O’CONNOR ROLL!
Charlie hooks both of her arms around the top rope, and Jennie rolls alone toward the middle of the ring, and Charlie turns to the champion and looks to take her head off with a RUNNING KICK!
Jennie rolls out of the way, again, and scrambles to her feet. All the while, the crowd seems to just louder and louder as they anticipate one of them successfully connecting with a move against the other, but it seems like both of the women have done their homework on each other. }Vasco Dias: Come on, boss lady!
Terri Morasco: Charlotte Shimizu is doing well with holding off Jennie, and after what we saw last week, it’s kind of surprising.
{ Charlotte gets to her feet, and walks right into a SPINNING BACK KICK from Jennie connecting with her sternum! }Terri Morasco: A well-placed kick from Jennie!
{ Jennie raises one of her legs up to Charlie’s shoulder, and kips up to go for a hurricanrana! CHARLIE REVERSES! Charlie flips Jennie backwards, and Jennie manages to complete a backflip and land back on her feet – Charlie looks to lock up with her in the center of the ring, but Jennie ducks underneath and catches her for a BACK BODY DROP! Charlotte lands back on her feet behind Jennie! Jennie senses it and goes for a swinging back forearm, but Charlie ducks underneath and rushes the ropes ahead of her…she springs off of the middle rope, and comes back for a kick! But Jennie moves out of the way!
Landing back on her feet, Charlie turns around into a MONKEY FLIP from Jennie! But Charlie keeps the momentum going and is able to land back on her feet yet again! Both Charlie and Jennie run for the ropes, and Charlie springs to the top rope – but not to be outdone, Jennie also springs to the top rope, and then takes her off of the top rope with a TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA!
CHARLIE LANDS ON HER FEET! The crowd is in an absolute frenzy for these two!
Jennie is able to salvage her own landing by using the ropes, and hasn’t seen that Charlie landed. }Terri Morasco: The athleticism these two are showing is incredible!
{ Jennie pivots on her heels, assuming herself to be at an advantage, but turns right into an INSIDE CRADLE! }ONE!
TWO!
NO!
{ Jennie shifts her weight so that she has Charlie down for the cover! }ONE!
TWO!
CHARLIE KICKS OUT!
Vasco Dias: I can’t remember the last time I saw someone try to steal a win from Jennie like that!
Terri Morasco: Listen – I know there’s going to be some rebellious people out there that are going to think that Jennie put herself in a position to be the champion, but she has earned it every step of the way! She’s one of the people we have in the ring that you can’t let her get any of those pins on you! She will end matches quickly if given the chance!
{ Djinxie and the Iron Hawk both hurry to their feet, getting up at nearly the exact same time…Charlie opts to become the aggressor and charges at Jennie this time around, but Jennie counters with a drop toe hold laying out the challenger across the middle rope! The champion springs off of the middle rope, and comes down for a leg drop – Charlie is able to move out of the way, and Jennie averts to avoid the ring apron and lands on the outside of the ring.
Charlie immediately takes the top rope and jumps up, going between the middle and bottom ropes for a basement dropkick! Jennie gets out of the way, and Charlie slips all the way to the outside of the ring – upon getting on her feet, Jennie aims for another leg sweep, but Charlie jumps it yet again! Before Jennie can regain her balance, Charlie snatches her by the wrist and sends her barreling toward the steel steps – Jennie runs up the steps, and uses a tiger feint on the ropes to re-enter the ring…just as she does, Charlie also springs off the steps, to the ring apron, and then finally springs to the top rope– }Vasco Dias: It’s like watching two cats go at it!
Terri Morasco: Both of them are known for their quickness, and their flying!
{ –and comes off for a METEORA! JENNIE MOVES! }Terri Morasco: Aye! Jennie avoids it, and that could be the opening she needs with Charlotte being the first to make a mistake in this match!
{ Jennie rushes forward as Charlie scrambles to her feet, and she turns right around into a hurricanrana that Jennie twists into a victory roll! }Terri Morasco: There’s the roll ups I’ve said she needs to be careful of!
ONE!
TWO!
CHARLIE KICKS OUT!
Vasco Dias: Jessica better count faster if she wants a job at the end of this match!
{ Charlie hurries to her feet yet again, but is taken right down with a SPINNING HEADSCISSORS! Charlie rolls through, shaking off the damage but she is a little dazed – nevertheless, she sees Jennie charging her, and turns to go for a clothesline! JENNIE DUCKS UNDER and springs to the top rope, coming back with a CORNER SPRINGBOARD JUMPING HIGH KICK! Eating the kick, Charlotte staggers back a couple of steps but manages to remain on her feet – she shakes it off as Jennie closes the gap, and they go right into a collar-and-elbow lock that doesn’t hold for long when Jennie takes her with the FLYING JUJI GATAME, transitioning it into a cradle! }ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Terri Morasco: Jennie has hit a stride, and it has just been all Jennie ever since Charlotte missed a pivotal meteora!
Vasco Dias: Listen– boss notes aside, Jennie has come out here with a whole new attitude, and it’s a breath of fresh air! She needs to accept that she’s not an underdog anymore. She is the favorite to win this match! Even more so now that we know she can change the rules during the match!
Terri Morasco: I don’t think she can do that. I don’t think she would do that.
{ Dazed from the twists and turns that Jennie had sent her on, Charlie still staggers to her feet and looks for the champion– meanwhile, the champion is already rebounding off the ropes and comes in for OUT OF WISHES!
CHARLIE DUCKS! }Terri Morasco: Dodging a huge bullet right there, and Jennie is still getting up – but a spinning backfist from Charlotte Shimizu! The challenger looks like she got all of it there, and knocked Jennie for a loop, but Jennie is still trying to retain the momentum…
{ Jennie fires for a clothesline, but Charlie ducks underneath – she springs to the middle rope, and comes back with a CROSSBODY! Charlie rolls her up! }ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Terri Morasco: No damned brakes on that girl, and it looks like they’re both going back up to their feet here!
{ As they’re standing up, they go right back into another collar-and-elbow lock up – Charlie is able to take advantage of it this time around, getting Jennie with an arm twist, and then takes her towards the ropes and sails her over with an arm drag! Jennie rolls through and is back to her feet, only to be met with a running dropkick from the challenger for her title that sends her toppling backward into the corner, and the challenger is right there to climb to the second rope and begin with the ten punch combo into the corner! }Vasco Dias: Check the fists, Jessica!
Terri Morasco: Clean strikes from Charlotte, using palm strikes as opposed to closed fist. It seems like Charlotte got her stride going into this match now.
Crowd: ONE!
Crowd: TWO!
Crowd: THREE!
Crowd: FOUR!
Crowd: FIVE!
Crowd: SIX!
Crowd: SEV–
{ The crowd was counting along with every shot Charlie threw, but Jennie now backs them out of the corner and has Charlie up for a powerbomb! CHARLIE REVERSES! A hurricanrana sails them over, and despite everything, both women roll through to their feet – Charlie immediately springs off of the second rope, and comes back with an ENZUIGIRI that hits the mark! Jennie falls down to a kneeling position, dazed from the kick but still manages to stand up…Charlie rebounds off of the ropes, and comes back with a SAPPORO TWISTER! Charlie covers Jennie! }ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
{ The crowd all gasp in unison. }Terri Morasco: I thought for sure we were going to see a new champion right there! Charlotte Shimizu was right there with the cover!
Vasco Dias: You don’t get much closer than that.
{ As she’s rising, Charlie wastes no time with running to the ropes…just as Jennie is getting up, Charlie looks for WESTERN SUNRISE! JENNIE IS ABLE TO BRACE FOR IT AND MANAGES TO REMAIN ON HER FEET! What would’ve been a piledriver looks more like a failed sunset flip, as Jennie drops down, and rolls Charlie up! }ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
{ Charlie kicks out with some force, sending Jennie off of her – Jennie hits the ropes this time, not to be outdone with Charlie’s own quickness, and comes back into a step-up electric chair into a side cradle! }Terri Morasco: Another one of those crafted covers! This one was used to beat Brooklyn at High Stakes last year!
ONE!
TWO!
CHARLIE KICKS OUT!
Vasco Dias: Whew!
{ The Iron Hawk escapes to the outside of the ring, looking to regain her bearings after being spun out several times…the champion, The Lego Lord, rebounds off of the far ropes and comes back with a handspring to the outside of the ring that ignites the crowd as she soars over, not even grazing the top rope! She lands on top of Charlie, but doesn’t get all of it – Jessica Andrews is calling for the action to get back into the ring– }Terri Morasco: This match has no count outs, Vasco, but it must end inside of the ring!
Vasco Dias: Probably a good thing that it doesn’t!
{ –but Jennie pulls Charlotte back to her feet and sends her into the corner barricade…Jennie immediately rushes in and connects with a jumping wheel leg lariat that sends both of them tumbling over the barricade and into the crowd! Security is quick on the scene to try to keep the crowd at bay, but Jennie and Charlotte fight their way to their feet and are exchanging blows back and forth with one another. Jennie gains the upper hand as they fight their way through the crowd, heading further out – Jennie takes a moment to take a picture with the fan while en route, but the distraction backfires on her when Charlotte connects with a side kick! Charlie takes a moment to mingle with a couple of the fan members as Jennie has no choice but to retreat – Jennie is trapped between Charlotte and the barricade when Charlotte bursts into a spring, and Jennie counters with a BACK BODY DROP sending Charlie back over the barricade and landing on her buttocks at ringside!
Jennie takes a moment to showboat to the crowd, rallying them up and getting them louder… On the other side of the barricade, Charlotte is shaking off some of the damage with a hand to her tailbone while getting back to her feet. The crowd goes a wild for Charlotte as she staggers toward Jennie, and grabs her head from behind – Jennie spins around, and the two get into a collar-and-elbow lock over the barricade, each one trying to sneak in a few shots but not able to get any impact behind any of it…Charlotte finally drags over the barricade, but the two remain locked in an epic battle! Jennie finally spins behind Charlotte, and raises her for a back body drop, successfully landing her on the ring apron! Charlie arches her back after the impact, and rolls off of the ring apron. }Terri Morasco: She’s going to feel a bit of that.
Vasco Dias: This action needs to get back into the ring! She’s going to seriously hurt our boss, and that can’t stand!
{ Charlotte manages to shove Jennie off as she closes in for the grapple, and Charlotte rebounds back with an immediate axe handle smash as Jennie hits the barricade! Jennie moves out of the way, and catches Charlotte with another spinning back kick – but Charlotte catches her leg! Charlotte shoves her off, and then immediately goes in and Jennie counters into a FLAPJACK!
Charlotte is able to snatch the middle ropes, and Jennie falls to the mat on the outside of the ring without her opponent in stow – Charlotte pulls herself onto the ring apron, then a quick glance over her shoulder as Jennie is getting up, and a springboard CORKSCREW MOONSAULT! The crowd gives a huge pop for Charlotte Shimizu! }Terri Morasco: I don’t know how much she has in the tank to keep going as she has been, but this match has been one for the ages!
{ Jennie moves toward the steel steps, using them to assist herself to her feet, but the challenger is right there! She grabs her by the back of the head and slams Jennie’s head against the steel steps, and Jennie holds her head in pain – Charlotte further capitalized on the moment by catching her with a TILT-A-WHIRL DDT onto the steps! }Vasco Dias: Aye, no!
Terri Morasco: Jennie could be seriously hurt after that one, but this match is still going…this is part of why the action needs to get back into the ring–
Vasco Dias: Exactly, because outside of the ring is barbaric! Outside of the ring, you have steel posts, steel steps, barricades, you have everything like that that can be used as a weapon and no one will be disqualified for it!
{ Feeling the effects of having her head smashed against the steel steps – Charlotte rolls back inside of the ring, and seems to be awaiting Jennie to be in perfect position… Outside of the ring, Jennie continues to crawl until she gets to the commentators table– }Terri Morasco: She’s right here in front of us. Are you okay, Jennie?
Vasco Dias: Don’t be such a suck up! {Clears throat.} Can I get you something to drink, Miss Fenix? A hot towelette?
{ –and she tries to shake off the damage…but the crowd is roaring louder and louder as, inside of the ring, Charlotte bounces off of the ropes and just as Jennie turns to face her, SUICIDE DIVE! The crowd is going crazy, and while the adrenaline is pumping throughout her body, Charlotte can’t stop herself from getting in some clean shots against the reigning IWF Women’s World Champion. }Terri Morasco: I think it’s time that we may take a step away from here!
Vasco Dias: I think you’re right!
{ Charlie starts clearing all of the objects off of the table while keeping a knee close to Jennie’s head, keeping her from moving too well – Charlie finally climbs up to the top of the table, and pulls Jennie up with her…
JENNIE COUNTERS!
NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Both of the women land atop the table, but the table doesn’t give way… }Vasco Dias: These are some sturdy tables! But– damn, I can’t believe just like that! Jennie seems to still be in this thing!
Terri Morasco: You’re absolutely right, and it looks like Charlotte could be hurt after that landing…
{ Jennie rolls off the side of the table, near where Vasco and Terri retreated, and then heads over to the Italian commentators table where she starts clearing it! The Italian commentators are speaking rapidly in their own language and for those who are viewing at home under the Italian preferred language, you probably know more of what they’re saying.
Jennie grabs Charlie by the hair and drags her off of the main commentators table…but Charlie immediately starts firing back! Several punches in, and a well-placed elbow, Charlotte is able to shift the momentum back into her favor – she goes under Jennie and raises her up for a variation of GIGAGE TSUNAMI onto the table! But the table still does not break! }Terri Morasco: Jennie Fenix is in a world of hurt right now, and I just can’t imagine what Charlotte could have in store for her! Like– seriously– Charlotte needs to get Jennie back into the ring if she wants to become the champion!
Vasco Dias: Jessica Andrews has given up with trying to get them back into the ring. She knows this match can’t end in a count out, all she can do is try to persuade them back to the ring.
{ Jessica Andrews is calling for Charlotte to come back into the ring – and Charlie does re-enter the ring, but she doesn’t remain! She immediately climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, and looks out toward Jennie as the crowd is falling quiet…they want to see the Iron Hawk soar, but they are questioning whether they are actually going to. Jessica Andrews is pleading with Charlotte Shimizu not to do it, while the camera fixates momentarily on the champion that is still laid out on the table. }Terri Morasco: Don’t do it, Charlotte! What will this cost her?!
Vasco Dias: Everything!
{ Without any further hesitation, Charlotte Shimizu leaps from the top turnbuckle, all the way to the outside of the ring! All of time seems to stop while Charlotte is in flight, the crowd growing silent all the while…until…DIVING ELBOW DROP! The Italian announce table shatters from the impact, and the crowd roars themselves alive as both champion and challenger crumble onto the ground below. }Vasco Dias: Right for the heart!
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe what we just saw!
Crowd: Holy shit!
Crowd: Holy shit!
Crowd: Holy shit!
Crowd: Holy shit!
Crowd: Holy shit!
{ Neither Charlotte nor Jennie seem to be able to move. Jessica Andrews immediately leaves the ring to check on both of them… }Terri Morasco: That was at least a fifteen foot drop right there, and Charlotte Shimizu just decimated Jennie Fenix! It was– it was pinpoint accuracy on her part, but it seems that the damage was also done to her. Neither Charlotte nor Jennie are able to stand after that, and you have to wonder if Jessica Andrews is going to have to call the match right here.
Vasco Dias: It is her job to protect them! She needs to do the right thing!
Terri Morasco: She hasn’t called for help, so I’m going to go ahead and assume that both of them are still well enough to be able to continue this fight.
{ Minutes pass before either one of them is able to come to… the challenger is the first one to come to, and she takes the champion with her – Jessica Andrews is quick to re-enter the ring at this point, expecting Charlotte to send the champion back into the ring…and she finally does. }Terri Morasco: This match has definitely worn on both of them, and Charlie is clearly feeling the effects here. But you have to admire her resilience.
{ Charlie pulls herself onto the ring apron with help from the ropes, and then looks at Jennie inside of the ring – }Terri Morasco: We could be nearing the end here, folks!
{ Charlie springs to the middle rope, and then a second spring to get over the top rope and land on the interior of the middle rope – she then springs off for a shooting star press, the move she calls SPECTRAL SUZAKU!
JENNIE GETS HER KNEES UP! Another huge cheer from the audience! }Terri Morasco: I thought Jennie was done!
Vasco Dias: Jennie is as tough as they come, Terri, and no one should ever count her out! After what happened at Odyssey when she fought against The Black Widow to defend the championship, she was literally piledriven onto GLASS! And she’s still found the will to come tonight! Do not count her out!
{ Clutching her ribs, Charlotte grimaces while trying to keep herself from falling down to the mat…Charlotte knows she needs to keep the momentum on her side, and while Jennie is trying to get to her feet, Charlotte comes in for a series of strikes! Jennie counters each one, and fights herself back to a vertical base, and starts firing now with knife edge chops against the woman who would try to take her title from her – Jennie fires in with the thunderous chops that resonate in the stadium many times over, and then finally snatches Charlie by the wrist and sends her to the opposite corner…
CHARLIE REVERSES!
Jennie is hurtling toward the corner, and Charlie looks to follow her in – Jennie springs to the top rope, and comes back with a backflip, landing on her feet behind Charlie! Charlie stops her momentum to not crash quite as hard against the corner, and turns right around into a HURRICANRANA from Jennie, that Jennie immediately transitions into an ARM TRIANGLE! The BER-DJINNXIE TRIANGLE! }Vasco Dias: Oh mah gawd! We saw Tara end Fiona McFly on night one of Night of the Immortals with this very move, and it looks like Jennie has it locked in! Could Jennie retain with a submission!
{ The crowd is going crazy while Jennie wrenches on the hold! }Terri Morasco: It looks like it! Charlotte Shimizu with nowhere to go, and it really does look like Jennie has it in! Charlotte could tap out right here!
{ Charlotte is trying to break free from the hold, but Jennie still has it locked in – Charlotte tries to get her feet planted firmly on the mat, and attempts to lift Jennie up…but to no avail…Charlotte is searching for a wide array of options, and it seems with nothing else, she finally pushes off with all of her leg power causing the two to start rolling, and keeps the momentum going long enough for Charlotte to get a hand on the ropes! The crowd is all out of their seats the moment Charlotte grips that rope, and cheering! }Terri Morasco: Charlotte got the rope break! A little swing of momentum, and she’s able to get the ropes!
Vasco Dias: But the damage has been done, Terri.
{ Without any kind of incident, Jennie releases the hold– }Vasco Dias: She should’ve kept it in. I dare Jessica try to disqualify her!
{ –and stands back up. Charlotte rolls on the mat trying to give herself a moment to let the blood flow properly again, but being no stranger to the main event challenges, Jennie doesn’t give her that time; she pulls Charlotte back up to a standing base, immediately takes her into a front waist lock before arching her up and over with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Jennie rolls backwards over Charlotte, and the crowd is going wild as they’re about to lay witness to the trifecta of suplexes – back up to her feet, and Charlotte still with her, Jennie arches up and over for a second NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! }Vasco Dias: That’s two wishes, Terri, and I bet you that Charlotte wishes she would’ve just tapped out right about now!
Terri Morasco: Jennie is rolling through for the third and final suplex, a move she has called the THREE WISHES, and we could see her retain right here!
{ Jennie lifts Charlotte up and over for the third and final suplex! THREE WISHES! The Djiinx keeps the bridge held, as Jessica Andrews counts. }ONE!
TWO!
THR– KICKOUT!
{ Not one person remains seated after Charlotte kicks out! The alternating cheers and chants for Jennie and Charlotte are almost deafening throughout the stadium… The camera scours the entire audience as everyone is in disbelief. }Terri Morasco: I! Don’t! Know! How Charlotte was able to kick out after everything she has endured. Night one, and now night two, and she’s having to find everything she has in her! And I’ll just be honest with you, I’m not sure how much more she has left.
{ Taking in a deep breath, Jennie takes an extra moment on the mat before finally getting up – the extra time she took gave Charlotte enough time to also attempt to get to her feet, and the challenger again opts to be the aggressor as she takes a chance for a wild swing! Jennie ducks underneath it, and gets Charlie back in position for another series of wishes! }Terri Morasco: Every time Charlotte is dropped on her back, that drives all the wind right out of her sails, and I don’t know if she can survive another Three Wishes here!
Vasco Dias: Oh, absolutely not!
{ Jennie attempts to sail Charlotte over, but Charlotte is able to resist! Charlotte hits her with a few clubbing blows and is enough to break free, then rushes for the ropes and comes back for WESTERN SUNRISE! Charlotte gets all of it, and Jennie holds the top of her head as she goes down – Charlotte pops to her feet, and makes a mad dash to go for the cover… }Terri Morasco: Cover her, Charlie! We could be seeing a new champion right here!
{ As Charlotte nears in, Jennie suddenly rolls her into an INSIDE CRADLE! }Terri Morasco: What?! HOW?!
ONE!
TWO!
THR– CHARLIE KICKS OUT!
{ Charlie has a look of utter shock and disbelief, unsure of how the champion mustered that… The look on her face would tell a very different story from her kickout, and you might even believe that you would hear the bell right now. But Jessica Andrews is signaling that it was still a two-count. }Vasco Dias: Was that three? Did we miss something?!
Terri Morasco: It was two, but I don’t even know if Charlie can believe it right now!
{ Exhaustion is setting in for both the champion and the challenger as their legs are starting to feel more like rubber as they get to their feet – Charlie manages to sail Jennie over with a rolling snapmare! She’s hardly able to regain her footing, but does as she hits the ropes and comes back to finish the GENBU SHELL combination! Charlotte rolls Jennie into a cover. }Terri Morasco: We could be seeing a new champion!
ONE!
TWO!
THR– JENNIE KICKS OUT!
Vasco Dias: I just am wondering how much more either one of these women can take.
{ Lying flat on their backs, both Charlie and Jennie look up to the lights… the exhaustion both of them are feeling is truly setting in now, the pain that they’re feeling from the grueling match that has taken plus thus far. Jessica Andrews hovers over both of them to see if they can continue to compete, and has no other choice than to start the count. }ONE!
{ Both women are visibly conscious, but still struggling to move…Jennie is kicking her legs up and back down a couple of times in order to warm herself up. }TWO!
Terri Morasco: With as much as they’ve given to this match, you have to imagine that neither one is wanting to give anything up right now. They’ve given everything they possibly could in this! And every time that the other one kicks out, they have to be asking themselves…what more can I give? What more do I have left?! What more do they have, Vasco?!
Vasco Dias: It’s a fair assessment, Terri, but when you’re here – at Night of the Immortals – in the main event, you dig deep! You find a way! You find a fire inside of you that you didn’t know was there! Earlier in this match, we saw Charlie trapped in an arm triangle, but she found a way out of it. We saw Jennie just kick out of the Genbu Shell, we saw her kick out of the Western Sunrise! This match has been incredible! Back and forth! But all their bodies have to do is give a little more. Just a little more!
{ The count has gotten up to six during the timeframe, and all the while, with every passing count, the crowd would become louder trying to rally both champion and challenger to their feet. Charlotte is able to roll onto her stomach, knowing how important it is to be the first one to get to their feet – Charlotte crawls on her elbows and knees toward the corner. Simultaneously, Jennie rolls onto her stomach and does a quick search for Charlotte who is behind her at this point – she doesn’t spot her and starts to get up…back to Charlotte, and Charlotte uses the ropes to be the first one to her feet, Jennie lagging behind her at this point; Charlie is given enough time as the crowd gets louder when Charlie starts climbing the ropes… }Vasco Dias: This is the same move that Charlotte Shimizu used last week to put Brooklyn Madrox down for the count! Is she going to be able to end Jennie with it and take the IWF Women’s World Championship?!
Terri Morasco: Jennie is drained, Vasco, and I’m not sure if she’s going to have anything left to be able to kick out if Charlotte lands this!
Vasco Dias: I don’t know if I can watch!
{ Jennie wobbles on her feet, holding a wide stance while trying to find her balance…and just as she does, Charlie launches herself off of the top ropes looking for DUSTBOWL TYPHOON! }Terri Morasco: DUSTBOWL! NOOOOO!
{ Jennie rolls out of the way, and uses the ropes to pull herself back to a standing base…Charlie is able to land on her feet, but is off-balance and her legs almost give out from under her as the exhaustion is still there, but ever-resilient, The Iron Hawk stays on her feet – she turns toward Jennie, and Jennie gets a short running start before coming in for the DON’T RUB THE LAMP! The sunset floatover into a crucifix driver leads to Jennie rolling her challenger into a cover! }Terri Morasco: Jennie with another roll-up, and she could retain right here!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE– NOOOOO!!!! CHARLIE KICKS OUT!
{ Again, the entire crowd gasps and then immediately bellows out a huge cheer before breaking into a chant. }Crowd: This-is-awe-some!
{Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.}Crowd: This-is-awe-some!
{Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.}Crowd: This-is-awe-some!
{Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.}Crowd: This-is-awe-some!
{Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.}Crowd: This-is-awe-some!
{Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.}Vasco Dias: I don’t know if Jennie can believe that Charlie is still in this one! Hell, if I were Jessica Andrews, I’d be looking for a replay right there because that could have, and that should have been three!
Terri Morasco: Charlotte Shimizu has been impressive tonight! The amount of ways that Jennie can trick people into a pinfall attempt is astounding, and so far, Charlotte has been able to kick out of each and every single one of them. These are some crafty covers that have caught Brooklyn Madrox in the past, they have caught Jessica Reed in the past, they have caught Tara in the past! And Charlotte has been able to kick out from all of them!
{ Jennie is the first one to her feet this time, using the ropes to keep herself held up – Charlotte is slower on getting up this time, appearing winded…Jennie sees her next opening, and goes in for BREAKING THE LAMP! }Vasco Dias: This dreaded curb stomp! Annnd–
{ Charlotte is able to move out of the way just before Jennie can land it; Jennie lands on the canvas, and her knee buckles underneath her causing her to lose her footing momentarily…Charlotte bounces off of the ropes and comes back for GIGAGE TSUNAMI! }Terri Morasco: Charlotte is going to take it with this here, and–
{ Jennie is able to flip backwards, landing on her feet; she immediately tumbles forward, falling to one knee and a hand to Charlie’s back – she manages to shove her forward, preventing the challenger from getting any kind of leverage over her…Charlie pivots on her heels, and Jennie has already launched for OUT OF WISHES! }Vasco Dias: OUT! OF! Oh, looks like she has one more!
{ CHARLIE EVADES! }Terri Morasco: Each one of them is looking to end the other and bring this match to a close, but much like the start of this match, they’re just seeing it all coming!
{ Charlie delivers a swift kick to Jennie’s midsection and draws her in for the butterfly lock – she rolls forward one time, looking to get that second to be able to finish with the EASTERN REDBIRD! Jennie wriggles free before Charlie can commit to the second roll…Charlie stumbles forward against the ropes, and turns around as Jennie charges in for JINXED!
CHARLIE HOOKS HER ARMS AROUND THE ROPES!
Jennie falls flat on her back, and arches her back in pain from the landing…Charlie sees another opportunity to climb to the top rope, and Jennie is getting up as fast as she can, which this far into the match, isn’t very fast – she wobbles again just as she gets up, and Charlie comes off with the front flip looking for DUSTBOWL TYPHOON!
JENNIE CHARGES FORWARD! }Terri Morasco: I can’t believe what we’re witnessing! Charlie Shimizu was merely inches away from becoming the IWF Women’s World Champion!
Vasco Dias: But Jennie is firing everything she has to keep that title for herself!
{ Charlie is fast to pivot on her heels again, swinging for a backfist as she does – Jennie ducks underneath it, and slips behind Charlotte again…this time, Jennie gets her into the half nelson, and Charlie is struggling to get out of it; with one arm, she tries to get to the ropes, but Jennie is able to pull her back and out of reach…Charlie continues to fight, looking for a fast elbow, but Jennie lifts her up and brings her down with the DJINN DRIVER! }Terri Morasco: The Djinn Driver! Jennie lands the Djinn Driver!
Vasco Dias: I don’t know if Charlie is getting up after that!
{ Holding her for the cover, Jennie has Charlie rolled up! }ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!!!
DING! DING! DING!Alison Valance: YOUR WINNER!
{ “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy is already playing over the PA, as Jennie lies flat on her back – she holds both of her arms upward from her position, knowing that she heard the bell, and is listening to her music… } Alison Valance: AND STILL! IWF! WOMEN’S! WORLD! CHAMPION! JEEEEENNNNNNNNNNIIIIIEEEEE FEEEENNNNNIIIIXXXXX!!!!!
{ The crowd is going absolutely crazy for what they had witnessed, and even crazier for Jennie Fenix as Jessica Andrews is tending to both champion and challenger…Charlotte Shimizu remains on the mat, holding her head, as she just looks up toward the lights. }Terri Morasco: Charlotte Shimizu gave everything she had, and brought out all of her arsenal! She fought as hard as we’ve seen anyone else ever fight the champion, but at the end of the night – Jennie Fenix is still the IWF Women’s World Champion!
Vasco Dias: Wowee, Terri. Wowee! Jennie Fenix proves herself here tonight, and proves that she belongs at the top of this company…and now she is at the top of the women’s division, AND she is the General Manager of Sacrifice!
{ Her legs are like rubber underneath her as Jennie finally does make it to her feet, with the help of Jessica Andrews…Jessica presents Jennie with the championship, and she stumbles her way toward the corner, and against better judgment from the medical staff, she still ascends to the second rope to hoist the championship high as fireworks and pyro shoot up from the stage and ramp. She holds the stance for as long as she can until she finally has to hunch forward and save herself against the ropes…she goes back down to the ring, and just holds herself against the corner. Meanwhile, Charlotte Shimizu is assisted out of the ring, but she’s insisting on walking out on her own two feet. }Terri Morasco: She has nothing to be ashamed of. That woman fought her heart out, but tonight was just not her night.
Vasco Dias: That is it, folks! That’s all the time we have! THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN! AND GOODNIGHT!
