{Backstage, the door to the offices of Katherine Lockheart is partially open, and voices drift from within. One is Katherine Lockheart, the other two are strange female voices.}Katherine Lockheart: So, you're ready to come back then?
: Oh, yes ma'am. Ready and willing.
Katherine Lockheart: You... uhhh.. look good. Like the new hairstyle. And this is?
: I'm her personal therapist. The hospital had concerns about what wrestling was doing to her mental well being, so I'm just here to make things go smooth.
Katherine Lockheart: Well, if you say so... Welcome back Miss St. James. Glad to have you on board for our first Diamonds only pay per view special. And nice to meet you.. uhhh..
: I am also Miss St. James.
Katherine Lockheart: Funny how that works.. Well, nice to meet you. I'll see you next week.
: Oh, definitely.
{The door opened and two women stepped out. One was Ayla, with her blonde hair cut short and neatly framing her face, sporting dark eyeliner and black lipstick. The other was a shorter woman with raven black hair with highlights of red, with a similar make up scheme.}Ayla St. James: Time to get this party started.
Desiree St. James: Rock on, baby.

Killian Creed vs Mike Laszlo
----------------------------------------------------------
Killian Creed wins.
----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
NOT OVER YET
----------------------------------------------------------
"Animal I Have Become" is playing throughout the arena, as the crowd boos in response to it. Killian is slowly getting back to his feet, exhausted from an intense battle with Mike Laszlo. The referee tries to hand him his Man of Steel title, but Killian isn't reaching for it. He's not even looking at the referee, instead he's eyeing Laszlo, who is being checked on by Alexis Caffrey. Killian takes a step towards them, an evil expression plastered on his face. Terri Morasco: Wait, no, Killian; this match is over! Walk away, you've won, that's it.
Vasco Dias: I don't think he's done yet, Terri. This isn't good, not good at all.
The music dies down as Killian continues towards Mike. The referee tries to stop him, but Creed shoves him to the mat. Alexis gets to her feet and tries to push Creed away, but he shoves her down to the mat as well!Terri Morasco: Come on, now! She's a woman, what are you doing?
Killian grabs a handful of Mike's hair, yanking him to his feet. And without hesitation, Creed tosses Laszlo into the corner and goes in for the assault, drilling him with rights and lefts. Some to the body, others targeted towards the head. He tees off again and again and again as Laszlo tries to stop the assault, but he's not having much luck. The crowd boos heavily as Creed continues his rampage. Alexis moves in again, trying to stop the attack, but Killian shoves her to the mat once more.Vasco Dias: Something is wrong with Killian, someone needs to stop him! And stop him now.
Killian pulls Laszlo out of the corner, inching him towards the center of the ring. Standing above his Man of Steel title, Creed drops Laszlo with a vicious DDT, causing Mike's head to bounce off the gold belt. Killian sits up, looking at his fallen opponent, a sick smile plastered on his face. He slowly gets back to his feet, and for a moment it appears he may be done, but instead he stands over Laszlo, looking down at him as if there's more to come.Vasco Dias: Enough is enough, can we get some help out here, please?
Terri Morasco: Security needs to stop this man!
Killian bends down to pick up Mike once more, but Alexis grabs his arm. AND BAM! Without hesitation, without a second thought, Killian spins and nearly takes Alexis's head off with a Spinning Back Elbow! She drops to the mat like a sack of rocks and she's out. The crowd boos, some throwing things at Killian, absolutely disgusted with his actions.Vasco Dias: What?! What did he just do? He -- oh my God. I -- I can't believe he did that to that poor woman!
Terri Morasco: He's sick -- sick and deranged.
Security and EMTs, as well as a couple of referees, finally rush towards the ring. Before they can even enter, Killian throws up his hands, signaling that he's done. He drops to the mat, grabs his title, and rolls out of the ring. Security stands between him and the squared-circle as he slowly backs up the ramp, the same sick smile still plastered on his face. The EMTs enter the ring, checking on both Mike and Alexis as the screens slowly fades to commercial..----------------------------------------------------------
MAIN EVENT
CELL MATCH
CAREER V CAREER
Rob Diamond vs Spike Kane
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The opening to Mama said knock you put by FFDP blares across the pa as Rob Diamond struts out onto the ramp, the crowd pretty much goes nuts for him as he smirks and looks from side to side as the song's lyrics rock your socks off. Rob begins strutting to the ring like the king of the whole damn world, stopping at the middle of the ramp so he can crotch chop your face off as red, white and blue pyro erupts from behind him in the form of an "X"! He smirks again as he hops up onto the apron and climbs up on the corner post from outside and raises his fists up over his head. }Mama said Knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
Mama said knock you out!
I'm gonna knock you out!
{ He mouths the words a bit as he jumps off the ropes and leans against the turn buckles. }Vasco Diaz: Ladies and gentlemen, you voted it the feud of the here and now tonight you will see it’s climax in a career vs career match, locked inside a cell structure, Rob Diamond versus Spike Kane.
Terri Morasco: They were the best of friends, the longest reigning champions in company history and now they are about to put it all on the line just to tear each other apart. It’s heart breaking but it’s wrestling and this stuff is bound to happen.
{ Hail to the King plays as the crowd immediately begins a “You Suck” chant. Spike steps out onto the stage and throws his arms out to just take in the boos, his Imperial title strapped around his waist. He looks down to the ring at Rob who is waiting and smiles before unstrapping the title and holding it high above his head. Spike slowly walks down the ramp holding his title over his head with one hand as the other points to the ring. Spike reaches the ring and hands over his title as the cell is slowly lowered around he and Rob. }Vasco Diaz: These two men have been thinking about this moment for two weeks.
Terri Morasco: And tonight they get to live out every horrible fantasy.
Vasco Diaz: Too bad nominations are closed, this could be the match of the year right here.
{ The cell has lowered and the ref calls for the bell as Spike rolls into the ring. He and Rob just lock eyes for several long seconds before either of them move. Rob steps out of the corner and moves to his right, so does Spike and the two of them circle each other. }Vasco Diaz: Both men trying to plan their first move here, the first move could mean everything.
Terri Morasco: Absolutely, they both want to set the pace of the match.
{ Rob dances forward and looks to tie it up with Spike but the champ moves out of the way and wags a finger at Rob. The two of them keep moving around each other and Rob moves in again but Spike connects with a hard kick to the ribs, Rob staggers for a moment and Spike nails him hard with a elbow to the side of the head. }Vasco Diaz: Spike with the opening blow, now he’ll look to keep it coming.
{ Spike drives several more hard elbows into the side of Rob’s had and then sends him across the ring into the corner. Spike runs in after him but Rob ducks the Bloody Sunday kick and Spike hangs himself up on the top rope. Rob grabs Spike from behind for an inverted neck breaker while Spike’s right leg is still over the top rope and he lands incredibly awkwardly! }Terri Morasco: OH! Spike’s leg was hung up there.
Vasco Diaz: Rob isn’t trying to out wrestle Spike, he wants to hurt him.
{ Rob is right up and Spike isn’t far behind but Rob kicks him in the side of the head and looks for a swinging neck breaker but Spike pushes him off. Spike lunges forward and connects with a clothes line. Kane is right up to his feet and so is Rob. Both men collide with a series of forearm shivers but Spike starts to get the upper hand and drives a hard knee into the gut of Rob. He underhooks Rob for a ddt and rolls him right over, mounts him and rains down the flurry of right hands. }Vasco Diaz: There’s no disqualifications in this match so Spike doesn’t have to pull any punches and he’s taking that very literally.
Terri Morasco: Wouldn’t you?
{ Spike finally gets off of Rob and lets out a roar as the crowd boos him viciously. He turns back and grabs Rob by the head and rips him to his feet. Spike sends several hard knees into the face of Diamond before whipping him around and sending him hard into the corner. Spikes runs in and drives a knee into the face of Rob Diamond and hooks him up for the running bull dog out of the corner. Spike is right up to his feet and he rips Rob up to a seated position and then to his feet. He sets Rob up for the Wings of Liberty but Rob sends him onto his back with a back body drop. Spike is right up and walks right into the Fist Full of Democracy! }Vasco Diaz: Oh, hard back fist from Rob.
Terri Morasco: He’s staggered Kane!
{ Rob plows into Rob with a hard clothes line and quickly gets on top of him and grabs him by the head and begins to slam his head hard against the mat as he lets out a pretty guttural yell as he slams Spike’s head against the mat. Rob gets to his feet and looks around and yells as the crowd pops huge for him. Spike slowly gets up and Rob punts him in the gut and looks for the Cutter but Spike pushes him off and Rob turns right into the Bloody Sunday kick! }Terri Morasco: Spike lured him in there!
Vasco Diaz: A well planed kick by Mr Kane. These two know each other well.
{ Spike shakes his head slightly as he walks around Rob. Diamond starts to get up and Spike pulls him in for and nails the Wings of Liberty. Spike pins. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Not even close!
Vasco Diaz: It’ll take more than that to end the career of Rob Diamond.
{ Spike smirks as he pulls Rob up to his feet and sends him hard to the ropes. Spike charges in after Rob but Diamond drops the shoulder and sends Spike up and over, Spike lands on the apron and drives an elbow into the head of Rob Diamond. Rob stagers and Spike steps through the ropes and spins Rob around, Diamond kicks Spike right below the belt and clothes lines him over the top and to the outside as the crowd pops huge! }Vasco Diaz: OHHHH!!! Really??
Terri Morasco: And there is nothing the ref can do about it in this match, totally legal!
Vasco Diaz: Still hurts like hell I’m sure.
{ Rob looks around as Spike starts to stand. Rob bounces off the ropes and storms across the ring and flies through the second rope as Spike steps out of the way and sends Rob head first into the wall of the cell! }Vasco Diaz: OH!
{ Spike is quick to take advantage of the situation as he begins stomping the crap out of Rob on the floor. }Terri Morasco: Rob with a huge miscalculation there.
{ Spike grabs Rob by the head and slams his face into the cell wall and then turns and sends him running down the side of the ring into the steel steps! Spike saunters over and grabs the top layer of steps and raises them high as Rob tries to get back to his feet. Spike drives the steel steps into the face of Rob Diamond and lays him out on the floor. }Vasco Diaz: Ouch! Steel steps to the face cannot ever feel good.
Terri Morasco: I can’t imagine but Rob knew what he was getting into with this match, he’s in Spike’s domain.
{ Spike throws the steps aside as he pulls Rob up onto the lower layer of steps. Spike shoves Rob down and pulls him up into a pile driver position. }Vasco Diaz: Oh no…
{ Spike looks to pile drive Rob on the steel steps but Rob hooks his legs around Spike and counters with a back drop driver on the steel steps! }Terri Morasco: Amazing counter!
Vasco Diaz: He just knocked all the wind out of Spike’s sails there!
{ Rob staggers to his feet and looks at the fallen Spike as he starts to stir. Spike starts to get up and Rob punts him in the side of the head and sends him onto his side. Rob flips the ring apron over and looks under neath and pulls out a steel chair. Spike starts to get up and Rob drives the chair into his side and then smashes it against the side of his head! }Terri Morasco: Rob is trying to expose some brain mater here.
Vasco Diaz: This match was never going to be viewer friendly.
{ Spike is on his hands and knees as Rob holds the chair over head and brings it down across the back of Spike Kane! Spike lays out on the floor as Rob raises the chair up again and brings it down over the back of Spike! Rob sets the chair up in front of Spike and grabs him. }Vasco Diaz: What’s he got planned here?
{ Rob grabs Spike for the Diamond Cutter and looks to drop him across the chair but Spike breaks loose and Rob drops himself against the seat of the chair hard! }Terri Morasco: Rob missed a huge move there!
{ Spike stumbles a little and as Rob gets to his feet he runs in with a huge right hand and sends him back to the floor. Spike grabs the chair and closes it and begins to go wild with chair shots! }Vasco Diaz: And now Spike is having a field day with that steel chair!
{ Spike bends the chair at a 90 degree angle before tossing it aside. He smirks as he walks around the ring and drops to the floor and throws up the apron. He looks underneath and pulls out a pair of cutters. }Terri Morasco: What? It’s almost like he knew exactly where to look?
Vasco Diaz: He did… Jesus..
{ Spike walks over to the door and uses the cutters to snap the chain holding the door closed. He turns just in time to see Rob and sends him crashing though the now open door! Rob gets right up and Spike uses the large cutters like a baseball bat and smacks Rob across the face with them and lays him out. Spike holds the cutters up over his head like a stake and drives it down into the face of Rob Diamond and stabs him in the face opening up a nice cut on his forehead. Spike raises the cutters up again and drives them down into the face of Rob again! }Terri Morasco: That man is sadistic.
Vasco Diaz: I really wish the ref would get those away from him!
{ Spike kicks Rob’s arm out to the side and opens the cutters up. }Vasco Diaz: Please… Someone!
{ Spike brings the cutters down around one of Rob’s fingers on his right hand… }Terri Morasco: No way…
Vasco Diaz: He can’t do this…
{ Spike looks around and laughs like a mad man before closing the cutters and SEVERING ONE OF ROB’S FINGERS FROM HIS HAND!!!!! }Vasco Diaz: OH MY GOD!
Terri Morasco: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
Vasco Diaz: I DID NOT JUST SEE THAT!!!
{ Rob’s hand spurts blood from where the half a finger used to be and the referee is right there asking him to call it a quits but he screams “NO!!!!!!” }Vasco Diaz: Their both freaking crazy…
{ Spike laughs as he goes to use the cutters again but the ref rips them out of his hands. }Vasco Diaz: Finally, someone with a brain takes control.
{ Spike rips Rob up off the mat and sends him into the cage again, he turns and whips Rob down the length of the cage into the ring barrier. Spike runs in after Rob and kicks him right in the face, the whole time Rob is losing a ton of blood from his missing half finger. Spike grabs him by the head and walks him down the side of the cage toward the announcers, smashing his head against the guard rails a few times as he goes. }Vasco Diaz: This is sick…
Terri Morasco: I don’t even know what to say…
{ Spike rounds the cage and looks to toss Rob onto the table but Rob manages to reverse it into a leg sweep and slam Spike face first into the announcer’s table. }Vasco Diaz: Yeah! Good, you freaking deserve it you monster.
Terri Morasco: I’m with you.
{ Rob barely stands up as his finger still bleeds, he looks to the Allison Valance and she hands him what looks like super glue. }Vasco Diaz: No way…
{ Rob pours the glue into the open wound and then grabs a piece of Allison’s shirt and rips it off, he wraps it around his finger and the crowd pops huge for him. }Vasco Diaz: I don’t believe it.
{ Spike starts to get up but Rob connects with a running drop kick to his back. Rob is right up, he grabs Spike around the neck, stands him up for a dragon sleeper ddt over his knee. Spike is laid out as Rob grabs the ring bell and looks down. Spike starts to sit up and Rob charges and slams the ring bell into his face! }Terri Morasco: YEAH! Ring his bell!
Vasco Diaz: Rob has lost a lot of blood here… He’s fighting with pure desperation…
{ Rob looks to the top of the cell and the crowd goes crazy. }Vasco Diaz: Please… No…
{ Rob grabs the side of the cell and starts to climb. }Terri Morasco: He didn’t hear you.
{ Rob uses his very injured right hand and screams out everytime. Spike starts to get to his feet as Rob reaches the half way point. }Vasco Diaz: This match is completely and totally out of hand.
{ Spike climbs up after him. }Vasco Diaz: Spike is moving up the side of the cell much faster, Rob has lost way too much blood, the referee needs to end this match.
Terri Morasco: Rob doesn’t want him too.
{ Spike meets Rob at the half way point and hits him hard several times in the back of the head. Spike grabs Rob by the hair and slams his face into one of the metal polls holding the cage together to the point the a new wound opens on the bridge of Rob’s nose. }Vasco Diaz: Please end this match…
{ Rob isn’t responding the way Spike would like as with each hit the smile on his face grows even wider until the tenth hit Rob drives a hard elbow into the face of Spike Kane and literally drives a tooth from his mouth! }Terri Morasco: He knocked a tooth loose!
{ Rob then grabs Spike and rips him off the side of the cell with a DIAMOND CUTTER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!!!!!! }Vasco Diaz: OH MY GOD!!!!
{ Both men lay in the rubble that was the table, un moving. Rob’s glues together missing index finger starts to bleed out again as the referee tries to figure out what to do. Spike shakes a little as the announcers look on. }Vasco Diaz: I don’t… What just… This is madness….
Terri Morasco: I have no words for what we’ve seen here… Rob is literally wrestling with a missing finger… Spike just took a diamond cutter from ten feet up through a table….
Vasco Diaz: And this match is still going….
{ Spike starts to move first, Rob shortly after. }Vasco Diaz: Their still going?
Terri Morasco: I’m not sure I can keep watching.
{ Spike stumbles into the cage and slowly starts to walk around it, Rob is up and shakes his right hand, blood gets everywhere. }Vasco Diaz: Someone needs to stop this now.
{ Spike finds the discarded cutters and smiles. Rob rounds the cage and Spike swings, Rob just ducks them and connects with a European upper cut! Spike drops the cutters and Rob quickly scoops them up. He looks around as the crowd pops and sends them hurtling toward the top of the cage. }Vasco Diaz: Please no.
{ Rob starts to climb the cell again but Spike gets to his feet and clubs him in the back, he grabs Rob and pulls him off the cell wall for a power bomb! }Terri Morasco: How can Simon or anyone else sit back and watch this?
Vasco Diaz: I don’t know…
{ Spike staggers to his feet and turns to the cell. He grips the wall and starts to climb up the side of the cell. Rob sits up and wipes his face and smears blood everywhere. }Terri Morasco: I really don’t think I can watch this…
{ Rob grabs the side of the cell, Spike is half way up. Rob climbs after him. }Vasco Diaz: Seriously, I’m begging someone from the back to end this match, ratings aren’t worth this.
{ Spike reaches to top and claws his way toward the cutters, Rob is right behind him. Spike stands and holds the cutters up, Rob reaches the top of the cage and Spike slams the cutters down over his back several times! He turns them and drives the point of the cutters into the spine of Rob! }Vasco Diaz: Begging, anyone, stop this match, now!
{ Spike places the cutters over another finger on Rob’s hand. }Vasco Diaz: You cannot let this happen….
{ Spike lets out a yell as he looks to cut off another finger but Rob reaches out with his other hand and pulls Spike’s left foot out from under him, he falls back. Rob is up and he grabs the cutters and before Spike can even stand he drives them point first and into his face! Spike falls back and Rob knees over him and drives the point of the cutters into the forehead of Spike Kane literally ten times as the crowd counts along with him. }Vasco Diaz: YES! Finally some retribution for Rob Diamond.
Terri Morasco: Is it over?
Vasco Diaz: Not yet…
{ Rob gets off of Spike and walks toward the center of the cage, he staggers and then starts to cut away the chain link of a section of the roof of the cell. }Vasco Diaz: Oh no…
Terri Morasco: What is he doing?
Vasco Diaz: No, please, no.
{ Rob cuts away a whole side of chain link on a section of the roof of the cell, causing it to be very un stable. He walks over to Spike and grabs him by the head. Spike rebound with a right hand out of no where but Rob ducks it and knees Spike in the gut and ddts him on top of the cage. Rob stands him up and drags him over to the weakened section of the roof. }Vasco Diaz: This can’t happen… He isn’t going to end his career, he’s going to kill him…
{ Rob turns Spike into a pile drive position right over the weakened section of the roof as the crowd goes nuts. }Vasco Diaz: He will literally break his neck. Rob don’t do this! Don’t’ be like Spike!
Terri Morasco: Just tell me when it’s over…
{ Rob looks around as the blood thirsty crowd loses it. They want to see Spike driven twenty feet straight down on top of his head, they want to see his neck shattered into a million pieces. }Vasco Diaz: I can’t watch this either, it’s insane!
{ Rob goes to lift Spike up and he gets him into position for a pile driver as the entire arena bursts into frantic cheers. }Vasco Diaz: God no…
{ Rob holds him there and suddenly it hits him, he can’t do it, he can’t end Spike’s career, he can’t be that kind of monster. Rob drops him back to his feet. }Vasco Diaz: What?
Terri Morasco: He didn’t do it?
{ Rob looks pleadingly into the eyes of his best friend and ask him “Please, stop!?” }Vasco Diaz: No, he’s asking is they can stop!
Terri Morasco: God I hope so…
{ Spike stands up and nods his head… }Vasco Diaz: HE AGREED!!!!
{ Rob reaches out and Spike responds, they hug on top of the Cell. }Vasco Diaz: OH MY GOD IT’S OVER!!!
Terri Morasco: Thank you, I didn’t want to have to mourn a man’s career tonight.
{ Rob pulls back and mouths the words “Thank you” to Spike as Spike just smiles and nods. }Vasco Diaz: I couldn’t have hoped for a better ending.
{ Suddenly Spike grabs Rob and pulls him in for the SPIKE IMPAILER RIGHT THROUGH THE WEAKENED SECTION OF THE CELL AND TWENTY FEET STRAIGHT DOWN!!!! }Vasco Diaz: NOOOO!!!!!!
{ Spike covers Rob as quickly as he can as the referee counts. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Vasco Diaz: GOD NO!!!!
Terri Morasco: I… I can’t believe… This is just…. I’m done…
{ Terri drops her head set and leaves as Spike knees over the broken, bleeding body of Rob Diamond smirks, his face masked in blood. }Vasco Diaz: Why… Why !
{ The referee holds Spike hands high as he looks down on Rob Diamond. }Vasco Diaz: I can’t believe it ended like that. Rob had a moment of clarity and stopped… But Spike… He just couldn’t let it go…
{ Spike smirks as he stumbles to his feet and demands his belt be brought to him, which he promptly raises over his head. }Vasco Diaz: Yeah, nothing to be proud of here Spike, you ended your best friends career for no reason!
{ The cell is slowly raises as paramedics make their way to the ring to check on Rob. }Vasco Diaz: God I hope he’s ok.
{ Spike drops down and rolls out of the ring as Hail to the King roars. Suddenly his music is interrupted… }Vasco Diaz: What the hell…
{ Spike looks up, confused and angry as Davey Ortega’s face takes over the screen. }Davey Ortega: Congratulations Spike on ending the career of the only man who believed in you.
{ Spike sneers. }Davey Ortega: Unfortunately the good new for you ends there as I’m proud to announce my newest acquisition….
{ Spike glares hard at Davey as he clutches his title belt. }Vasco Diaz: What does he mean?
Davey Ortega: YOUR WRESTLING SCHOOL!
{ The crowd goes absolutely insane as Spike drops his title and can’t believe his ears. }Davey Ortega: Turns out the head trainer there, Atreyu? Was aware of some loop holes in the property and well, you know me an real estate. Anyway, enjoy your Christmas. I KNOW I WILL!
{ The crowd goes crazy as the camera pans back to Davey with his version of the Imperial Championship over his shoulder, sporting a brand new “Ortega Wrestling” t-shirt. }Vasco Diaz: I don’t believe it! Davey Ortega bought Spike’s wrestling school! On the same night he ended Rob Diamond’s career!
{ Spike isn’t happy and starts throwing a fit. He grabs the nearest camera and slams it against the ground in anger. }Vasco Diaz: HAH! Serves him right. Ladies and gentlemen, please join us next week for the Diamond’s are Forever special! Until then, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! }[/font]
{ Spike is losing it as the show comes to an end. }
