 ------------------------------- SINGLES MATCHItami vs. Nancy Pailson-Carlson ------------------------------- The bell rings, and both women circle each other cautiously. Nancy uses her experience to gauge Itami’s movements, looking for any opening, while Itami’s eyes are locked on Nancy, analyzing her every move. Nancy starts with a classic lock-up, but Itami quickly breaks free and delivers a series of stiff kicks to Nancy’s legs, trying to chop her down early. Nancy winces but stays on her feet, showing her toughness. She responds with a powerful clothesline, using her size advantage to ground Itami temporarily. As the match progresses, Itami relies on her striking ability, landing vicious kicks and forearms that echo through the arena. Nancy, however, counters with her old-school grappling techniques, using suplexes and submission holds to wear Itami down. With sheer willpower, she inches towards the ropes, finally grabbing hold to break the submission. The crowd erupts, applauding the resilience of both competitors. In the final moments, Nancy goes for her finishing move, but Itami, in a last burst of energy, counters with a brutal spinning backfist that staggers Nancy. Itami then follows up with her finisher, a devastating Spinning Heel kick to the head, knocking Nancy to the mat. The referee counts to three, and Itami is declared the winner. Itami 8:15 ------------------------------- SINGLES MATCHThe Pest vs. Hellscream ------------------------------- The bell rings, and The Pest immediately goes on the offensive, distracting the ref with pointing something out in the crowd and then choking Hellscream with his tie before hellscream breaks out of it. The match escalates into a wild brawl, with both men trading blows inside and outside the ring. The Pest, in a desperate move, pulls out a bag of thumbtacks from under the ring, scattering them across the mat. The Pest suplexes Hellscream onto them and pins him for the win the pest 6:15 ------------------------------- MAIN EVENTSINGLES MATCHRosa de Luca vs. Mimi Simpson ------------------------------- The bell rings, and the two women circle each other, sizing up their opponent. Rosa moves in quickly, aiming to take Mimi down with a series of quick arm drags and wristlocks, trying to keep the stronger wrestler grounded. Mimi, however, uses her power to muscle out of the holds, countering with powerful shoulder tackles and scoop slams that shake the ring. Rosa switches tactics. She targets Mimi’s legs with low kicks, trying to weaken her base. Mimi stumbles but remains on her feet, using her resilience to absorb the blows. Rosa then attempts to lock in a leg submission, but Mimi powers out, grabbing Rosa and tossing her across the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex. As the match continues, the momentum shifts back and forth. Rosa’s technical skill keeps Mimi on her toes, but every time Rosa gains the upper hand, Mimi’s strength allows her to fight back. The crowd is fully engaged, cheering for their favorites as the two wrestlers push each other to the limit. The turning point comes when Rosa, after dodging a corner splash from Mimi, quickly climbs to the top rope. She leaps off, aiming for a diving crossbody, but Mimi catches her in mid-air with a display of raw power. With Rosa in her grasp, Mimi transitions into a devastating fallaway slam, sending Rosa crashing to the mat. Sensing victory, Mimi sets up for her finishing move. She lifts Rosa onto her shoulders, but Rosa, showing her ring awareness, slips out the back and immediately locks in her signature submission, the “Ciao Belle” (a mTwo Handed Chokelift, can be used as submission). The sudden shift in momentum catches Mimi off guard, and she struggles as Rosa cinches in the hold tightly. Mimi fights the pain, desperately reaching for the ropes. The crowd is on their feet, rallying behind her, but Rosa’s hold is expertly applied. Mimi’s strength begins to fade, and with no choice, she taps out, giving Rosa the hard-fought victory. Rosa 11:14 |

SINGLES MATCH
Tytus Rost vs. Logan Sky
-------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Hello everyone and welcome to IWF Sacrifice! We are coming to you live from Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Vasco Diaz: As always I am Vasco Diaz and this irritant sitting next to me is Terri Morasco. Worry not though, because we are kicking things off with wrestling the way the good lord intended!
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one Fall!
{ 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. }
Terri Morasco: Tytus seemed a bit more introspective than usual lately.
Vasco Diaz: Don’t use words like ‘introspective’ Morascco. Our fan base doesn’t know what that means.
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. }
Alison Valance: And his opponent, weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds. From San Antonio, Texas ‘The Machine’ Logan Sky!
{ As one of the most iconic riffs in Rock history starts to pump out from the speakers, Logan walks out onto the stage, soaking in the crowd's reactions. He moves to each side of the stage, throwing his arms up to try and rile the crowd up for the impending match.
He marches down the ramp, head bobbing from side to side before he climbs the stairs, wiping his feet on the apron before he steps through the ropes. Then he moves to each side of the ring, shouting at the crowd to pump them up. }
Terri Morasco: This match is sure to be a delight. We have two veterans of the business to put on a showcase of power and talent that you don’t get to see very often.
Vasco Diaz: The only thing we are gonna see is Tytus obliterating Logan. I still believe in the Russian Lion and Logan Sky doesn’t belong in the same ring as him.
{ Jessica Andrews has drawn duty for the match and she checks over both men before she signals for the bell. The two vets waste no time and they collide in the middle of the ring and lock up to the roar of the crowd. Tytus is quick to gain the advantage due to his superior size and strength. He muscles Logan down to try for a suplex, but Logan drops his hips to stall the move. The two men fight back and forth, Tytus trying to muscle Logan up while Logan wiggles in his grasp to prevent the leverage from being gained on him. Sensing the stalemate, both men break the hold and back off a step and look each other in the eyes. }
Vasco Diaz: Now this is my kind of wrestling right here. None of this gymnastics crap. Just a couple of game players trying to outdo the other. Good honest wrestling.
Terri Morasco: Vasco you can like something without demeaning other things you know.
Vasco Diaz: Where’s the fun in that?
{ The two men talk briefly for a moment before Logan lifts his hand and slaps himself across the face a few times before he tucks his arms behind his back to present himself for a strike. Tytus stares at him for a moment before he nods his head with a sharp laugh. He winds his arm up and nails Logan with a stiff European Uppercut that staggers his opponent, but Logan remains standing. Tytus then pressed his fist against his own jaw and beckoned Logan forward. Logan is quick to oblige, rearing back and laying into the Russian Lion with a European Uppercut of his own. Soon the two men are exchanging blows with each other, laying in with European Uppercuts as the crowd roars it’s approval as both men seem to be giving as good as they get in the exchange as they fight to prove themselves. }
Terri Morasco: Both men are slugging it out in the center of the ring, eager to show that they still belong and they still have a fire in them. I don’t think anyone is going to question that.
Vasco Diaz: Logan isn’t going to have cinders left if he keeps letting Tytus strike him like that.
{ Logan is starting to flag first, wobbling on his feet a little more after each blow to his upper chest and chin. Eventually he is to slow to answer Tytus’ strike with one of his own and Tytus lays in another stiff uppercut that drops him to one knee. Tytus moves forward, grabbing him by the back of the head and lays in with another strike that staggers Logan again and it’s clear that the only reason he is still upright is due to Tytus’ hand holding him there. He lays into Logan now, driving his forearms into his opponents face with brutal efficiency before backing off a step but somehow, Logan is still on one knee. He wavers in place and his gaze appears unfocused but he is still upright. Tytus looks down at him for a moment before he runs back into the ropes, rebounding off them rushing towards his opponent. He leaves his feet, obviously looking to hit him with the Event Horizon. But Logan rallies himself, lunging forward and pushing himself to his feet to catch Tytus onto his shoulders before planting him to the mat with a Burning Hammer! }
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe it! Just when it looked like Logan was out of it he found something, somewhere to swing the momentum in his favor!
Vasco Diaz: This just bought him some breathing room. He’s gonna need it.
{ Logan quickly goes for a cover, but Tytus powers his arm up at the two count to break the pin. He knows better than to let up on his opponent and he quickly pushes himself to his feet, only to fall back to the mat with a Leg Drop across Tytus’ chest. Tytus’ body bounces on the mat and Logan quickly grabs hold of the bigger man’s arm to smoothly transition into an arm bar. Tytus struggles to clasp his hands together to prevent the hold, but Logan starts to kick him in the head to loosen his grip. Tytus doesn’t budge though, keeping his fingers in an S grip to stymie Logan’s attempt to lock him in a hold. Logan calls on his mat wrestling background, shifting his position to lock his legs around the Russian’s head and rolls over onto his back to carry Tytus with him as he transitions to a Triangle choke. Tytus struggles in the hold, trying to push Logan over to get him into a cover, but Logan wiggles on the mat to always keep one shoulder off the mat as he tightens his grip on the other man’s head. }
Terri Morasco: The Machine has that hold locked in deep. Are we going to see Tytus tap out here tonight?
Vasco Diaz: Highly unlikely. Logan is about to learn why the Triangle Choke is a risky move to put on someone like Tytus Rost.
{ Tytus gives up on trying to pin Logan as his face starts to turn purple from the restricted breath the hold has inflicted on him. Instead he gathers his legs under him and demonstrates his superior strength by standing up to lift Logan into the air and slam him down into the mat with a modified The Way! He goes for the cover then, but Logan is able to throw his arm up to break the hold just before the ref hits the 3 count causing the crowd to erupt again. Tytus gets to his feet, pacing around the ring before he looks into the Hard Cam and draws a thumb across his throat as Logan slowly struggles back to his feet. Tytus turns to meet him, stalking towards his dazed opponent before he unleashes The Black out, the flurry of blows staggering Logan. Eventually, Logan is unable to maintain his footing and sags forward that lets Tytus easily hoist him up onto his shoulders. }
Vasco Diaz: That’s all folks!
{ Tytus twists his hips before letting the tension free to spin Logan into a Конец that shudders the ring beneath the two men. He rolls over, draping his body over his prone opponent as Jessica Andrews makes the three count and calls for the bell. }
Alison Valance: Your winner by pinfall… Tytus Rost!
Terri Morasco: Tytus Rost wins a well earned and hard fought victory, but Logan easily gave as good as he got. I don’t think we have to worry about either men hanging up their boots just yet.
Vasco Diaz: You can’t give as good as you get if you end the match looking at the lights, Morasco.
{ Andrews lifts his arm in victory as Logan slowly rolls free of the ring as Tytus’ movement thumps through the arena. }

{The punchy synth beats of 'Yo Little Brother' begin to play over the speakers as the lights dim low. All of the screens go black, before displaying a static 'J-TV' logo. An entire camera crew file out onto the stage and point themselves towards the entryway as Jason Hathaway emerges with a personal security detail, wearing a leather jacket, gold chain, and a round pair of shades.

Both Ram and Nate’s microphones seemed to have been cut as it is clear both are trying to say something but none of it is audible.}
J-TV: I'ma let you finish, but I had one of the best title reigns of all time! If anyone should be getting another shot at the title it should be me.

TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH
w/ Special Guest Commentators Bella Morte
Birds Of Prey (Natasha Walker & Rini Ishikawa) vs. Winston Family Values (Gretchen & Dixie) vs. Best Friends Forever (Shea and Vivienne)
-------------------------------
{This match got a raucous reception even before it began as the new World Tag Team Champions, Bella Morte made a rare weekly show appearance. Not only that, but Eternity and Abby made a point to give the regular commentators, Terri and Morasco a break for this match and handled all commentary duties between the two of them exclusively.
Abby began by plugging some new “Fear The Name, Respect The Game” Bella Morte shirts during the Winstons entrance, one of which she was wearing. The newly christened Tsuki No Komo were out next, and despite Eternity’s best efforts to help her partner with the pronunciation of the rebranded team, Abby eventually thought better of continuing to try and just referred to them as the Birds Of Prey because it was so much easier on her southern tongue.
Eternity expressed some confusion during Viv and Shea’s entrance over The Murder being referred to as the Best Friends Forever because as far as Eternity was concerned that was her and Abby not Shea and Viv. Abby spent much of the Best Friends entrance blushing over Eternity calling her her BFF for life and death and everything in between.
The match started with Rini, Shea and Gretchen in. Rini seems laser focused on getting to Shea, starting off the match with a burst of energy that forces Shea back into a corner where Rini goes off like a firecracker, hitting a flurry of backhanded chops and palm strikes, determined to make Shea pay for her betrayal, and pay dearly. Seeing this relatively new driven side of Rini being unleashed particularly excites Eternity who enthusiastically claps at the rising fire in Rini’s whole demeanour.
Rini doesn’t let up for quite a while, alternating her kicks and hand strikes, beating Shea down in the corner, very animatedly yelling something in Japanese. Gretchen is happy to sit and wait for now, if these two want to kill one another, Gretchen would just wait for the perfect opportunity to pick her moment, steal the kill and put herself and her family on the map for a shot at the new Tag Champs. Gretchen leans back in a corner and watches as Rini drags Shea out of the corner and over to Natasha. Just before it looks like Natasha may join in on teaching Shea a lesson, Viv interjects and stops any attempted double team.
Whilst the referee is trying to keep order however, Gretchen rolls up Rini and scores a quick two, almost having stolen one but not quite. With everyone eventually forced to break it up, Gretchen tries to make her own statement on Shea, hitting her with chops, kicks and uppercuts of her own, and it readily becomes apparent that Shea has ring rust from a few months of inactivity. Gretchen is even happy to form a temporary alliance with Rini to neutralise the former Women’s World Champion but as they work in tandem and whip the Irish Bombshell across the ring together, they are denied any rebound offense as Shea has enough wherewithal to duck Gretchen first and nail her with a lightning quick superkick, Rini tries to strike, but Shea evades and hits her with a superkick too. The crowd boo as does Eternity who just seems swept up in the hostile atmosphere whilst Abby calls the action with a variety of colourful Southern idioms.
Shea is just happy to escape the onslaught, and tags in Viv as soon as she can. Viv comes in like a house on fire, quickly overpowering the smaller Rini with a series of power slams and drops, although it is unclear if Viv’s motivation is from seeing her best friend ganged up on or whether she’s just venting her own frustration at not having gotten even with Dean yet. Viv looks to put Rini away with a huge chokeslam, but Dixie dives in for the last second save. Meanwhile Natasha and Shea engage in a brawl outside, Natasha looking to get her licks in on the great redheaded betrayer.
By this point in the match however, Shea seems to have adjusted enough to the notion of her being against the world in this match that she gets the better of Natasha and even whips her into the ring post. In the ring Viv is holding her own well against Rini and Gretchen who continue to try working together against their opposition, neither having much love or respect for the Murder.
With Natasha down for the moment, Shea is more eager to rejoin the match, and Viv obliges her and they pull off some tandem offense hitting a couple of double team moves on poor Rini until…she gets an unlikely save from Dixie who blind tags herself into the middle of things. Never one to back down, Shea and Dixie go at it until…much to the delight of Abby, Natasha pushes herself back into the match. She drags Rini back to the safety of their corner and officially tags herself in.
Now Shea, Nat and Dixie fight each other and are fairly evenly matched, hitting each other with suplexes and throws.
Shea dominates Nat until the young star chooses to roll out of the ring. Shea tries to follow but Dixie turns her around and the ladies trade blows, Shea easily gets the better of the exchange whilst Gretchen fights Viv the outside, Nat meanwhile checks on Rini whilst Shea hits a beautiful Celtic Crossfade and scores the win on Dixie at 16:16 with Abby and Eternity calling the action like a well oiled machine right up until the end.}

{Nick climbs the steel steps and goes to the second turnbuckle and takes of his jacket and toss it to a fan. Nick jump inside the ring and goes to the corner and straighten up his arm sleeve and wait for the match to start.}
Terri Morasco: You can see the determination in Nick Danger's eyes here tonight, Vasco. He's promised us some dangerous television as he tries to move back up the ranks for a shot at the Gladiator title.
Vasco Dias: What does that even mean, Morasco? Are we going to let the kid play with some sharp objects on live television or something? I could see how that'd be dangerous, for him.
Terri Morasco: You're so hard on Nick.
Vasco Dias: He makes it so easy. What do you want from me?
{Alison readies herself for the introduction of Nick's opponent.}
Alison Valance: And his opponent...

Vasco Dias: This guy is what the people paid to see, Morasco! This is the guy, alongside Caleb Cannin and Serenity Holmes, that is going to lead us into a glorious new era in the IWF!
Terri Morasco: Then why are they booing?
Vasco Dias: You can not like things that are good for you, Morasco. Children do it all the time, and these people are basically children!
{The official for this contest, Jessica Andrews, checks in with both competitors to ensure they're ready for the match to begin. Jason and Nick respond affirmatively, prompting the official to call for the opening bell.}
Ding!
{The two men circle each other to begin the contest. They tie up in a collar-and-elbow, with neither man being able to forcibly drive the other man backwards. Hathaway transitions into a go-behind waist-lock on Danger. However, Nick doesn't stay tied up for long, reversing into his own go-behind on Nick. Hathaway works at the hands of Danger as the two technicians jockey for position, with J-TV able to free himself after a moment and reapply the go-behind on Nick. Hathaway quickly reaches down, grabbing the ankles of Danger to pull his legs out from underneath the "Rising Ace". Intent on showing Danger up, Hathaway walks over Danger's back before leaning into the camera to tell everyone exactly how great he is.}
Terri Morasco: Jason Hathaway is a magnificent wrestler; but I don't know how smart it is to take your eyes off of a man as talented as Nick Danger is, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: Jason could beat this kid blindfolded and with one arm tied behind his back, Morasco! Look at him! The only way Nick Danger could beat Hathaway is if lightning came down from the rafters, striking Jason down in that very ring for simply trying to be humble! When you're that talented, you can't be humble!
{Jason turns around and is met by a Pele Kick from Nick Danger! Hathaway staggers backward toward the corner, holding himself up with the aid of the ropes. Danger charges, catching Hathaway squarely with a running front dropkick to the chest! Hathaway goes down, and he goes down hard! Danger points to the sky. The "Rising Ace" ascends the top turnbuckles as Hathaway lays prone on the canvas, trying to get up by grabbing at the air in the arena. Danger leaps off, dropping a Diving Double Foot Stomp down on Hathaway's chest! Danger crawls over, looking to reverse his recent fortunes with a cover. Jessica Andrews promptly slides into position for a count! The audience is on the edge of their seats as her hand slaps the canvas twice; but Hathway kicks out before the three count, disappointing nearly everyone in attendance!}
{Danger sits Hathaway up, continuing the offensive with some hammer and anvil style elbows to keep pouring the pressure on. Nick takes to his feet, leaving Hathaway to try to crawl away. Danger stops him with a knee to the head, then delivers repeated shoot kicks to the kneeling Hathway's chest, followed by a devastating roundhouse to the back of the head! Jason falls forward on the canvas, barely moving until Danger grabs Jason's legs and steps through, turning him over into a sharpshooter! Danger sits down, applying pressure! Hathaway holds his hand inches above the canvas, suffering in anguish as he tries to resist the tap! Hathaway bites down on the knuckles of his hand as the crowd gets louder and louder. The official checks in with Jason, seeing if he wants to quit, but Hathaway shakes his head in refusal given his high tolerance for pain. Eventually Hathaway gets his arms underneath him, pushing up in a desperate crawl for the ropes! He struggles, fighting for canvas mere inches at a time until he stretches out for the sanctuary the ropes provide! The official calls for Danger to break the hold, which he does! Jason scoots up under the bottom rope, wrapping his arms and legs around it as Jessica Andrews backs Nick off. With Danger being ushered away, Hathaway slips outside for a breather.}
Vasco Dias: Hathaway wants a timeout. Can someone get the man a low carb Gatorade and a chair to sit on, maybe an Aleve if he needs one!? J-TV needs to go to a commercial break!
Terri Morasco: Nick isn't going to give him a single moment!...
{Danger runs the ropes, looking for a suicide dive; but Hathaway side steps and does what he can to add to Danger's momentum, sending Danger crashing into the steel guardrail! The rail getting driven back into the crowd's knees as Danger lays on the floor writhing in pain! Angered now, Hathaway moves in on Danger a little gingerly (from the effects of the sharpshooter) and begins to ruthlessly put the boots to Nick Danger. The official begins her count as Jason snatches Danger up by the head and bounces his face off of the ring apron! Jason rolls Nick up onto the apron, then takes the apron with him. Showing how merciless he can be, Hathaway lifts Danger up into position for a brainbuster and drops him head-first onto the apron! Both men spill back down onto the floor as Jessica Andrews reaches a count of six!}
Vasco Dias: The hardest part of Nick Danger's body just bounced off the hardest part of the ring like a basketball, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: That's not funny, Vasco! He could've just broken Nick Danger's neck with that move!
{Hathaway gets up and rolls back inside temporarily, stopping the count at eight! The crowd grows louder in their excitement as Nate Harris comes walking down the stairs in the crowd, making his way toward the front row with a bucket of popcorn and a drink. He offers popcorn to different fans along the way as Hathaway brings Danger up and rolls him back into the ring. Jason spots Nate taking an empty front row seat behind him, offering some popcorn to the fans around him. Jason and Nate trade a few words before Hathaway goes back up inside the ring to refocus on his opponent. Hathaway brings an almost limp Nick Danger up, pointing at Nate before lifting Nick Danger up for a stalling suplex! Hathaway holds Nick up there a moment before dropping him backwards. Hathaway pulls a kneepad down before backing into the corner, again casting a glance towards Nate Harris in the crowd. Jason hops up onto the second turnbuckle and drops his exposed knee down on Nick Danger's forehead! Hathaway lays his back across Danger for a somewhat arrogant cover, smiling as he counts along with Jessica Andrews' count; but Nick Danger kicks out after the count of two!}
Terri Morasco: Nick is still alive in this contest and Jason Hathaway is in disbelief!
Vasco Dias: So am I, Morasco! How in the heck did the kid kick out of that move!?
{Hathway shakes his head in frustration as he holds up three fingers, unhappy with the official's count. The crowd rallies for Nick Danger, trying to will him back into this match up. Jason gets up, bringing Danger back up with him. Hathaway unleashes a flurry of extremely snug European Uppercuts underneath the chin of his adversary, inflicting even more hurt on Nick Danger! Hathway hooks Danger like he's preparing for another of those brainbusters; but he turns to face Nate Harris. Continued to be preoccupied by the Gladiator Champion's presence, Hathaway talks some more trash to Nate Harris. The champion plays it cool, casually sitting in the crowd and watching the action with the fans. To Jason's shock, Nick counters into a small package roll-up! The official slides into position for a count and her hand slaps the mat three times on this occasion, earning Nick Danger a pinfall victory over J-TV!}
Vasco Dias: I don't believe it, Morasco! Danger had to have had the tights!
Terri Morasco: He most certainly did not! Nick Danger just pinned Jason Hathaway fair and square in the middle of the ring thanks to Hathaway's preoccupation with Nate Harris!
{Hathaway sits on the canvas with his hands on his head as Jessica Andrews raises Nick Danger's arm behind him while "Out of the Black" plays.}
Alison Valance: Your winner of this match by pinfall... Nick Danger!!!
{Jason Hathaway pounds the mat in anger as Nate tosses a piece of popcorn in the air, catching it in his mouth. He gets up from his seat, having seen all he needs to see while Nick Danger celebrates his victory with the crowd on the turnbuckles. Hathaway's eyes are firmly locked on Nate Harris as he exits though, leading the show into a commercial break.}

Participant: Rob Diamond
Rob Diamond sits down with his dear friend and completely impartial reporter Willy Carter to discuss his recent role in Dean Harper's ongoing feud with the Murder
-------------------------------
{ We rejoin the commentary team of Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco on Sacrifice, live from Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico! }
Vasco Dias: Welcome back to Sacrifice!
Terri Morasco: The action is about to continue but first, Willy Carter has a sit down interview with the one, the only, the infamous, Rob Diamond!
{ We shift to the backstage area where we find Willy Carter seated with Rob Diamond in what is being dubbed “Carter’s Corner.” }
Willy Carter: Welcome to Carter’s Corner where we ask the hard hitting questions! Tonight I am joined by Rob Diamond! Rob, welcome!
Rob Diamond: Hey Willy.
Willy Carter: A very warm welcome, indeed.
{ Willy clears his throat as he shuffles through papers. }
Willy Carter: So the question on everyone’s mind is, wassup with you and Dean?
{ Rob rolls his eyes a little. }
Rob Diamond: What’s up with us? Like are we fucking? A couple? Just two friends?
Willy Carter: However you take the question.
Rob Diamond: What’s up with us is simple. I’m not going to sit backstage and watch someone get prison raped live on television.
{ Willy nods his head. }
Willy Carter: Even if they deserve it?
Rob Diamond: * sigh * I’m not sure how you define deserve but-
Willy Carter: I find men who hit women usually deserve it.
Rob Diamond: This is professional wrestling, it’s 2024, men wrestle women all the time.
Willy Carter: That wasn’t the situation that unfolded.
Rob Diamond: Okay, I’m sorry but I wasn’t here to be an angel on Dean’s shoulder at the time, besides, that’s his dads job.
Willy Carter: So you’re saying in the right situation it’s ok to hit a woman?
{ Rob rubs at his temples. }
Rob Diamond: I’m not defending Dean’s actions. In a one on one scenario, I’m perfectly happy to stand back and let him get the beating he deserves, as we saw at Legacy.
Willy Carter: Yes, where you reffed a “fair” and “impartial” match.
Rob Diamond: I’m starting to remember why everyone hates you.
Willy Carter: Not everyone, just racists. So your stance on men on women violence notwithstanding, do you intend to keep getting involved with Dean getting what he deserves?
Rob Diamond: For as long as the murder thinks they need a 12 on 1 advantage to get their justice? Yeah.
Willy Carter: Interesting.
{ Willy shuffles his papers again. }
Willy Carter: Why are you voting for Tump in November?
Rob Diamond: Oh fuck this!
{ Rob hops up and promptly storms off the stage. }
Willy Carter: Well there you have it. World renowned woman hater and Donald Trump supporter, Rob Diamond has vowed to continue his crusade against women’s right alongside Dean Harper. Tune in next week when I expose the agenda that is really behind IWF.
{ Rob pops back onto the set as Willy stands and delivers a sweet looking Diamond Cutter on that absolute moron. Rob pops back up, smooths himself out, blows a kiss at the camera and - }
Rob Diamond: Suck it.
{ Crotch chop, deuces, back to you Vasco and Terri! }

MAIN EVENT
MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH
Pax Stormcrow and Charlotte Shimizu vs. Caleb Cannin and Serenity Holmes
-------------------------------
{ "Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat immediately explodes from the arena's surrounding systems, sparking a positive reaction from the audience. The bass and repeated opening lyrics synchronize with the lights flashing around the venue's interior, leading to Serenity Holmes sprinting from the backstage area to center stage, where the fans of the Action Wrestling universe greet her. She stands center stage before taking off her hat and throwing it into the fans for amusement until looking down the entrance path, where she takes off into a run for the mere moment of interactions on her fast-paced run to the ring. }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, your Sacrifice main event is scheduled for one fall! Introducing on her way to the ring! Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, seven inches tall, weighing in at 127 pounds. She is the IWF Invictus Champion… "22nd Century Girl" Serenity Holmes!
Terri Morasco: A tag team main event that’s going to have a lot of eyes on it tonight, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: Of course! How could you keep your eyes away from such great talent like Serenity Holmes and Caleb Cannin? Roberto Verona, once again, bringing these people into their rightful place at the top!
Terri Morasco: Well, some would say that it’s undeserved, but we know that Serenity has had her sights set on the women’s champion, Charlotte Shimizu! Tonight, we’ll see how that blows over in this mixed tag team match!
{ Serenity slides under the bottom rope before unloading onto her feet, where she quickly hops onto the middle turnbuckle of an unoccupied corner to greet the fans at ringside. She flips her hair and throws up a peace sign with her tongue hanging out while winking at the camera. Serenity hops down and lands on her feet before running around the ring to show love to every possible fan in the atmosphere before staying in her designated corner, waiting for the next moment. }
{ The lights go down as a low mist begins to emanate from the entrance ramp. A muted guitar riff plays as Caleb Cannin, clad in his hooded jacket, emerges out of the darkness. A white spotlight illuminates him from behind, showing nothing but a dark figure. The guitar, now with added drums, starts to pick up as he crouches low… }
“SICK!”
{ Lights come back up as Cannin stands up suddenly, whipping the hood off in the process. The camera closes in on a stone-faced Caleb before he begins his stroll down the entrance ramp. }
Vasco Dias: Look at the eyes of Cannin! This man has gone under a big attitude change since coming back and I’m here for it!
Terri Morasco: He has certainly become more intense during these past few weeks. Is it the guidance of Roberto Verona? Is it the pressure from his failure to capture gold at Night of the Immortals? A combination of both?
Vasco Dias: Forget all that, Morasco! We’ve got this new version of Caleb Cannin and he wants you to SEE. THE. VISION.
{ “S!CK” by The Warning continues to play as Cannin slowly makes his way to the ring. Once he’s at the ring steps, he takes off his jacket and looks at the crowd, then at a ringside attendant. He simply drops the jacket on the floor for the attendant to pick up. }
Alison Valance: And her partner, from Washington, D.C., weighing in at 219 pounds… CALEB CANNIN!
{ Cannin joins Serenity in the corner, awaiting the arrival of their opponents. While Serenity moves around and has more energy, Caleb simply sits against the turnbuckles and gives a cold stare to the entrance ramp. }
{ 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”. }
Alison Valance: And their opponents, first, from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, weighing in at 126 pounds… she is the IWF Women’s Champion… CHARLOTTE SHIMIZU!
Terri Morasco: The newly crowned champion makes her way to the ring! After what’s been a great surge of momentum for Charlotte, now she has to keep that momentum going as she attempts to keep her status as the number one woman in IWF!
Vasco Dias: Serenity Holmes would beg to differ on that, Morasco, and I would too!
{ 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. }
{ 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. }
Alison Valance: And her tag team partner, making his way to the ring, from Aitkin, Minnesota, weighing in at 248 pounds… the IWF World Champion… PAX STORMCROW!
Terri Morasco: But if we are talking about newly crowned champions, you have to give credit to Pax Stormcrow. He overcame Warren Kidd at Legacy to capture the title for the second time in his now Hall of Fame career!
Vasco Dias: As much as it is a feat to capture the world championship on more than one occasion, Pax has to know that Caleb Cannin is waiting for him, among many other men on the roster!
{ 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. }
{ Just as the bell rings, Serenity and Caleb rush down Stormcrow and Shimizu! They beat down on their respective opponents, with Pax and Cannin spilling to the outside. Inside the ring, Holmes squares up with a MMA combination of strikes to the body of the women’s champion. At ringside, Cannin hurls Stormcrow into the barricade before raining down punches. He tries to hoist the champion back up, but Pax quickly switches position and slams Caleb down with a german suplex! Cannin clutches his neck while Pax rears back and lights up the chest with a chop. Back in the ring, Charlotte manages to duck a boot from Holmes, allowing her enough time to respond with a huge dropkick! Serenity rolls to the outside by Cannin and Stormcrow, giving Shimizu an idea. The crowd waits in anticipation as Charlotte runs the ropes and delivers a massive suicide dive, knocking the rest of the competitors down! The women’s champion checks to make sure her partner is okay before yelling out to the audience, who respond with a roar of cheers. }
Vasco Dias: Look at the reckless behavior on display by Charlotte! Is this really the example she wants to set by diving to the outside like a total maniac?!
Terri Morasco: I knew this would be an intense main event but I could have never predicted it to break down so quickly!
{ Holmes lies prone on the mat as Charlotte begins to scale the turnbuckles. She gets ready to dive right onto the Invictus Champion, but Serenity merely rolls over to her corner. The crowd boo as Shimizu begrudgingly hops back down to the canvas. Not wanting to waste time, Charlotte rushes at Holmes, who promptly goes low with a dropkick to the legs. Shimizu crashes to the mat as Serenity gets an opportunity to fully compose herself. She stalks the women’s champion and delivers a brutal axe kick to the back! Meanwhile, Caleb and Pax have gotten to their corners, each man rooting on their tag partner. With Charlotte just getting up to a kneeling position, Holmes rebounds off the ropes and spikes Shimizu’s head into the mat with a lightning-fast hurricanrana! Caleb gives the move a round of applause while Pax pleads with Charlotte to get back up. Holmes retreats back to her corner as Cannin extends a hand towards her. A tag is made and both men are officially legal. Cannin sticks a hand up for Stormcrow to grapple with, but Pax has no time for his games. He takes the arm and wrenches it, causing Caleb to favor his shoulder. Cannin quickly reverses the hold into a hammerlock, but it is quickly rescinded after Pax moves into the ropes. He surprises the world champion with a schoolboy roll-up, though the ref cannot get a count in before Stormcrow rolls through. As Pax rolls away and tries to get back up, Cannin immediately pounces on him with a DDT! He spikes Stormcrow’s skull into the mat, right before taking his arm and applying the hammerlock again. }
Terri Morasco: The crowd here in Albuquerque are behind Stormcrow!
Vasco Dias: You know what else is behind Stormcrow? His arm, which is being pinned against his back by Caleb Cannin!
{ This time, Stormcrow manages to drop down and throw Cannin over the shoulder. He quickly traps Caleb in a headlock, though Cannin stomps on Pax’s foot to escape. The Legionary takes a swing at the champion, but he abruptly gets caught into the set-up for the Broken Wing! Caleb immediately thrashes and panics as Stormcrow tries to complete the hold. After a moment of struggle, Cannin throws his head back, smashing into Pax’s face. With the champion stunned, Caleb sweeps the leg and immediately jumps on top to try and lock in Clairvoyance! Stormcrow manages to roll out of the hold before Cannin can finish the submission. The two men come to a stand-off in the center of the ring with the crowd applauding the exchange. Pax nods and acknowledges the audience, while Cannin tries to draw the attention back to himself. He shoves Stormcrow and shouts at him, which prompts the champion to respond with a trio of european uppercuts. Cannin responds with some hard forearms to the face. Stormcrow is visibly impressed with Caleb’s aggression and goads him into hitting another forearm. Before Cannin can land the strike, Pax swiftly ducks and captures him into a half-and-half suplex! Unbeknownst to Stormcrow, Cannin is able to land on his feet. He lines up Pax and charges to hit a running knee! He goes for a cover!
ONE…
TWO…
Pax kicks out!
On the apron, Charlotte tries to rally Stormcrow back to an offensive. Cannin seizes Pax into a chinlock, digging his knee into the back for added stress. The crowd begins to clap in order to will the champion back to his feet. Stormcrow reaches out for his corner while Cannin grinds his forearm across his face. As the audience continues to clap, Stormcrow begins to rise to a standing position. He manages to elbow Caleb in the gut, allowing himself enough time to leap into the corner and make the tag to Charlotte! Shimizu blazes into the ring, not even allowing Serenity to meet her halfway before she takes her down with a leaping clothesline! When Holmes pops back up, Charlotte springboards off the ropes with a crossbody. With the Invictus Champion down, she sizes up Holmes and goes for a Western Sunrise! However, Serenity manages to nail a handstand, pushing herself off of Shimizu before her head can be driven into the mat. With Charlotte sat down on the mat, Serenity goes for Moving Holmes! Charlotte is able to capture the leg before Holmes can land the shining wizard and rolls through into a single-leg Boston crab! Serenity screams in pain as Charlotte sits back into the submission! }
Terri Morasco: Serenity might tap!
Vasco Dias: Not a chance! She just has to get to those ropes!
Terri Morasco: Middle of the ring, nowhere for Holmes to go- hey! What’s Caleb doing?!
{ With Charlotte occupied in the center of the ring, Cannin slides the Invictus Championship towards Holmes. Serenity grabs her championship, but the referee notices! As the official and Serenity struggle with the title, Charlotte lets go of the submission in the commotion. She looks confused as the referee finally wrenches the title away from Holmes. }
Vasco Dias: The master strategist has done it again, Morasco! Caleb Cannin ALWAYS has a plan!
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe this! Charlotte could have had the match won, but Cannin is up to his old tricks!
Vasco Dias: Don’t fix what isn’t broken!
Terri Morasco: And now Serenity arguing with the- HEY! HEY! WHAT THE HELL?!
{ The crowd all come to their feet as Caleb slinks into the ring. With Charlotte’s back turned, he suddenly hooks the arms of the women’s champion. He turns her over… ready to hit her with The Cannin Ending! Charlotte struggles as Cannin gives an evil grin. }
Terri Morasco: DON’T YOU DO THAT, YOU SICK SON OF A-
Vasco Dias: Caleb said he wants to hurt Pax Stormcrow! He never said how he would do it! Taking out his other half might just do the trick!
Terri Morasco: NO! How can you condone this?! He’s not allowed to do that here- WAIT! PAX! PAX! THANK GOD!
{ Before Cannin can hit the move, Stormcrow tackles him to the ground! The two men unload on each other with punches as they tumble out of the ring. Pax, brimming with rage, fully lunges at Caleb, causing both men to vault over the barricade and into the front row! The fans cheer on Pax as he continues to trade shots with Cannin. Back in the ring, Charlotte looks on, concerned about the commotion in the stands. Before she can turn her attention back to the match, she gets blasted from behind with the Queen’s Gambit briefcase! Shea O’Hara stands over Shimizu’s prone body, holding her contract high above her head. In the corner, Serenity watches from afar, now regaining possession of her Invictus Championship. The bell rings as cameras try to capture the ensuing action both inside and outside of the ring. Caleb and Pax are brawling their way up the stands whilst O’Hara chastises Charlotte with Holmes playing bystander. }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been informed that this match has been ruled as a NO CONTEST!
Terri Morasco: All hell has broken loose in the main event!
Vasco Dias: A shame we couldn’t see Holmes and Cannin come out on top, which they certainly would have!
Terri Morasco: But now, Shea O’Hara has made a statement against the champion! But look at Serenity, Vasco. Something tells me this is far from over…
{ The crowd boo at the result, as well as Shea standing tall in the ring. Other fans within the vicinity of Cannin and Stormcrow’s fight cheer on. The lasting moment before Sacrifice goes off the air is a wide shot, showing Pax and Caleb in the crowd while O’Hara, Holmes and Shimizu remain in the ring. }
