”Thursday Night: YOU DECIDE!”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Our show is suddenly interrupted by the smiling face of the Head of Booking, your Savior X and mine, the Patron Saint of Bad Ass himself, Angel. The ghoulish looking figure is joined by Amber Richards and flanked by Nero Blake and Tank Armod, behind them you can see the smiling face of Simon de Montfort. }Angel: Last week I announced that I had secured us a television deal for a second weekly broadcast, I also announced that I would leave it up to our fans to decide the name of the show. Well you’ve spoken and I have heard you.
{ Angel grins much to the dismay of the crowd. }Angel: You see my dear fans while some COO’s sit behind a desk and try to figure out new ways to make this company all about them, I’m out there putting myself on the line for you people. Roberto Verona hasn’t signed any new talent, he hasn’t created for you a second weekly broad cast, he didn’t save the Diamonds division or reinvent the Cruiser Weight division. All he’s done is catered to his own ego by taking legends like Steve Awesome and driving him away from you, legends like Lance Ryan and completely defacing their value. Roberto Verona has been nothing but a cancer to IWF but don’t worry, soon I shall save you all…
{ The boos are getting louder and louder. }Angel: I have read all the emails, the tweets and I have selected three names for you to choose from. They are… SOVEREIGN! BATTLEGROUND! AND INFERNO! Polls will open directly following the broadcast. You’re welcome.
{ Angel’s devilish grin quickly fades to black as we head to a break. }----------------------------------------------------------
LUMBERJACK MATCH
LumberJacks-Nero Blake, Tank Amond, Killian Creed and Bob Pooler
Special guest referee-Roberto Verona
Angel vs Gjenrei
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The lights dim as "Ryoujoku no Ame" by Dir En Grey starts to play. The masked man known only as "Gjenrei" steps out from behind the curtain and kneels at the upper part of the ramp as the drum beats start to kick in. He waits, his hands folded in prayer, then the music amps up and comes full force. He leaps from his knees to his feet as a short pyro burst explodes on either side of the ramp. He walks down the ramp, and ascends one of the corner turnbuckles, gazing out over the packed crowd. Then he sits himself on top of the turnbuckle, crossed legged, and meditates until the match is about to get underway. } Vasco Dias: Now this match isn’t exactly going to be a fair fight.
Terri Morasco: Angel booked this match last week with every intention of putting Gjenrei in the ground, lumber jack rules with the ring surrounded by Angel’s allies, the winner gets a Cruiser Weight Title shot.
Vasco Dias: Thankfully our COO, Roberto Verona named himself special guest referee, hopefully he can keep some kind of order.
Terri Morasco: It’s going to be tough.
Vasco Dias: Extremely.
{ “Sail” by DevilDriver sends the crowd into an immediate uproar as all the lights go out, save the one shining on the entrance ramp. Angel steps out from behind the curtain, his head bowed and his arms out stretched, Amber Richards comes out behind him with her Diamonds Championship around her waist. She slides around him and he grabs her by the back of the head, they kiss as the song really kicks into gear. Nero Blake and Tank Armod then step out behind them, soon followed by Killian Creed and Bob Pooler. Angel laughs maniacally as the group marches to the ring. Amber walks up the steps first and sits down on the second rope so that Angel may climb in, his allies surround the ring as Gjenrei watches. Amber climbs in as well and makes a cut throat action toward Gjenrei as Angel throws his coat off. }Vasco Dias: Look at this, he’s preparing for a massacre.
Terri Morasco: He is but I don’t think he’s going to get one.
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona in a referee shirt, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring and glares at Angel for a long moment. } Vasco Dias: Things are already getting tense.
Terri Morasco: You saw what Angel did to Jessica Reed, of course their tense. Think of what he could have done?
Vasco Dias: I’m sure Roberto does, often.
{ Roberto calls for the bell as Angel moves out of his corner, Gjenrei does so as well as the two begin their slow dance, sizing each other up. Angel moves first and the two lock up. Angel over powers Gjenrei and starts to push him back but Gjenrei throws him off and into the corner. Gjenrei moves in but Angel drops his shoulder and sends Gjenrei over the top and onto the apron, Angel throws an elbow and Gjenrei ducks it but then Nero rips Gjenrei’s legs out from under him! }Terri Morasco: Not even one minute into this match and their already starting their shenanigans!
Vasco Dias: I’m surprised they even let him get in the ring.
{ Roberto tries to bring order to the chaos as Nero and Tank begin to unload on Gjenrei, Angel just laughs as he leans against the ropes. Nero and Tank rolls Gjenrei into the ring and Roberto checks on him but Angel is right there and drops an axe handle over the back of Gjenrei, he pulls him up to his feet and throws him into the corner. Angel throws three hard forearm shivers into the side of Gjenrei’s head and then hips tosses him out of the corner, Gjenrei lands right on his back side and Angel bounces off the ropes and dives into Gjenrie with a drop kick! }Vasco Dias: Angel ’s crew took the wind out of Gjenrei’s sails here very early and now he’s just capitalizing on it.
Terri Morasco: This was never meant to be a match that Gjenrei could win.
{ Angel drives a hard knee into Gjenrei’s back and then puts him in a rear chin lock. Slowly Angel drags Gjenrei to his feet and then whips him hard into the corner. Angel runs in with the leaping knee to the face then hooks Gjenrei about the neck and runs him out of the corner with the Heaven’s Fury bull dog. Angel flips Gjenrei over and covers and Roberto Verona appears to have something in his eyes? }Vasco Dias: HAH!
Terri Morasco: Nice.
{ Angel looks extremely upset as he gets right in Verona’s face and demands he make the count. Angel turns just as Gjenrei comes off the ropes with the Powershift back flip ddt! Gjenrei covers Angel and Verona is down. 1.2. KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Woah, what a fast count that was!
Terri Morasco: His hand barely left the mat for that.
{ Gjenrei and Angel are right up, Angel is clearly upset and throws a wild clothes line that Gjenrei grabs and turns into an armbar take down. Angel gets to his feet quickly and throws a kick but Gjenrei catches that and hits a dragon screw! Angel tries to recover quickly but Gjenrei is on him, Angel ducks the clothes line and turns and Gjenrei connects with the IKARI! Angel rolls out of the ring before Gjenrei has a chance to cover him. }Vasco Dias: Smart move by Angel , Gjenrei can’t touch him out there.
Terri Morasco: Did anyone tell Gjenrei?
{ Gjenrei comes flying off the ropes and leaps over the top rope with a diving senton bomb to the outside and crashes right on top of Angel ! }Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!
Terri Morasco: INCREDIBLE!
{ Gjenrei gets right up and nails Pooler with a step enzugiri! Killian comes around the corner and Gjenrei hits a back elbow, Nero and Tank are on him now, Pooler is back up and the number game wins out as the four men start to pummel him on the outside. }Vasco Dias: Gjenrei went high risk and his only reward is that brutal beat down.
Terri Morasco: Jesus…
{ Roberto slides out of the ring and starts pushing all of them off of Gjenrei as Angel gets back into the ring and demands that Roberto count Gjenrei out. Roberto turns and says “One.” He then turns back to Gjenrei as the masked man starts to get to his feet. Nero grabs for Gjenrei but he turns and hits a stiff heel kick right to the midsection, Pooler goes for him but Gjenrei hits a pump kick and then rolls back into the ring where Angel is waiting for him with a vicious curb stomp to the back of the head. }Terri Morasco: Roberto is trying his hardest to protect Gjenrei here.
Vasco Dias: He’s doing his best.
{ Verona is back in the ring as Angel throws Gjenrei hard into the corner. Angel runs in with a splash and as Gjenrei stumbles out he goes for the seven seals combo that ends with some rolling thunder. Angel makes the cover but now Verona refuses to even count. }Vasco Dias: Bad to worse, bad to worse…
{ Angel gets to his feet and gets right in Verona’s face, Roberto begs him to hit him so he can DQ Angel . }Terri Morasco: Do you think he’s going to hit him?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea, Angel wants that title shot.
Terri Morasco: Does he want it as much as he wants to murder Verona right now?
{ Angel turns back to Gjenrei who is just to his feet and fires off the Genecide kick but Gjenrei gets under it and pulls Angel in for the Kanashimi! Angel is down and Gjenrei heads to the corner where he climbs the ropes. He looks down and Bob Pooler springs up on the apron and shoves Gjenrei off the top rope and he goes crashing back down into the ring! }Vasco Dias: And Pooler stopped that momentum dead in it’s tracks.
Terri Morasco: There is no way, even with Verona that Gjenrei can win.
{ Roberto is right there at the ropes screaming at Pooler who stands on the apron and laughs. The two begin to argue as Nero slides a chair into the ring to Angel who is just coming too. }Vasco Dias: Oh no…
Terri Morasco: Angel looks set to do something terrible here.
{ Angel lines up his shot as he moves around Gjenrei, Roberto still distracted by Pooler. Gjenrei starts to get to his feet as Angel rears back, Roberto turns suddenly and spins Angel around by the shoulder and fires off the Silencer super kick and smashes the chair right into Angel’s face! }Vasco Dias: YES!
{ Roberto grabs the chair as Gjenrei covers and Verona drops to his knees, 1.2.3!!!! }Vasco Dias: AND THE FASTEST COUNT EVER!!!
{ Pooler, Nero, Killian and Tank all spill into the ring as Roberto swings wildly at them, hitting Tank with the tip of the chair and then smacking it against the shoulder of Pooler. }Vasco Dias: It’s one man versus an army right now.
{ Roberto falls back with Gjenrei and the two men slide out of the ring as Amber is now in the ring checking on Angel . }Terri Morasco: I don’t believe it, Roberto Verona screwed over Angel !
Vasco Dias: I thought he’d try but I didn’t think he’d be successful.
{ Amber helps Angel to his feet as every stands around him, Roberto pats the chair and then holds up Gjenrei’s arm as he asks for a microphone. }Roberto Verona: AND YOUR WINNER AND NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE CRUISER WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! GJENREI!!!!
{ Both Pooler and Angel look incredibly pissed off. }Roberto Verona: I’ve got to say it was an honor watching you work Angel and you came so close to winning but in the end you failed!
{ Angel ’s eyes become tiny slits of hatred in his head. }Roberto Verona: Now I realize you’re probably seething with hatred and desire revenge as am I after what you’ve done to me so why don’t we be gentlemen this and settle it in the ring?
{ The crowd pops huge. }Roberto Verona: Say next week at Metamorphosis?
{ Angel just nods. }Roberto Verona: Good.
{ The crowd us pumped at the announcement but Verona doesn’t look like he’s quite done. }Roberto Verona: You call yourself a Savior, a God? A God wouldn’t need an army to beat me, a man. Why don’t you leave the boys in back and show me exactly what you’re made of?
{ Angel doesn’t respond, he only burrows a hole through Verona’s head with his eyes as the COO of the company just grins. We head to a break on that image. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
"My yard"
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The backstage area of the Oracle Arena is shown as Eric Price is backstage sitting in the locker room area talking with his wife Rachel who is also sitting next to him. }Eric Price: You know, last week was a setback, maybe I got a little too over confident?
Rachel Twilight-Price: Well, I know you always want to do well but you have to understand, this is a new place, a new company for you. You’ve only been here two months.
{ Suddenly the door to the locker room is thrown open catching both Price’s by surprise, Angel Black, the wife of Jackhammer stands in the door with a smirk. }Angel Black: Or maybe it’s just that your husband sucks?
{ Rachel and Eric both look up at Angel not really knowing who she is. }Rachel Twilight-Price: I’m sorry and you are?
Angel Black: I’m Jackhammer’s wife.
Eric Price: Ooooook? Can we help you with something?
Angel Black: Help me? You can’t even help yourself. I’m just going around letting all the new kids on the block know whose boss and that’s Jackhammer.
Rachel Twilight-Price: Look, do you mind just getting the heck out of here?
Angel Black: Go f**k yourself, bitch.
{ Rachel jumps right up from her seat and smacks Angel Black across the face, Black smiles and fires back with a smack of her own and now both women go completely crazy and start scratching and clawing at each other. Eric looks dumbfounded and slightly aroused before he gets up and tries to pull them apart. }Eric Price: What the hell is going on here!? CALM DOWN!
{ As Eric is shuffled around toward the door a chair comes out of nowhere and whacks Eric in the back of the head and knocks him forward. The women stop fighting as Eric falls to the ground and Jackhammer stands proudly in the door way. }Jackhammer: Keep your damn hands off my woman.
{ Jackhammer grabs Angel by the wrist and pulls her over to his side while Rachel drops down to check on Eric. }Jackhammer: Let that be a lesson to you, IWF is my yard.
{ Jackhammer and Angel walk off laughing as Eric sits up looking pretty pissed off about the whole thing. }----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Ana Valentine and Desiree St.James vs Alexis Caffrey and Alice Pleasant
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Diamonds Tag Team Match!
{The crowd breaks into approval as the commentators discuss the match at ringside.}Vasco Dias: These four women don’t like each other.
Terri Morasco: I don’t know Vasco. We saw earlier in the week that Alice and Alexis were quite fond of one another.
Vasco Dias: They’re the ones that aren’t right in the head. I’m sure they’ll hate each other tomorrow morning.
Terri Morasco: Ever the pessimist.
{"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense - Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't"
The crowd begins to cheer as the opening bars of 'Her name is Alice' by Shinedown hits the speakers.
Alice steps out onto the stage with a huge smile on her face, she slides a small container of bubbles from her waistband and shakes them briefly before raising the wand to her lips, creating a wall of bubbles before her as she pivots on the spot, blowing the bubbles out around her.
"And the girl who chased the Rabbit drank the wine and took the pill"
Alice turns to look to the side and appears to briefly converse with someone only she can see before, with a small laugh, she pops any remaining bubbles in the air before sliding the small container back into the waistband of her tights. The crowd sings along to 'Her name is Alice' as Alice skips down the ramp and pauses to high five out stretched hands, a small excited giggle escaping her with every slap.}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Essex, England, weighing in at 115 pounds…ALIIIIIICE PLEASANT!
{Alice climbs the steps and grabs the top rope, springing over it she lands with a gentle thud, both feet firmly planted in the center of the ring, she hops onto a turnbuckle and slips the container from her waistband, tossing them to the out-reached hands at the front with a blown kiss before dropping down and taking a casual seat on the middle rope to await the bell.}Vasco Dias: Ever the character, Alice Pleasant.
Terri Morasco: She is different, but that’s what makes these people love her so much.
{“Cult of Love” by Living Colour hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis and Mike walk out onto the stage. Mike steps back and lets Alexis pose for the cheering crowd as he claps along with them, urging on his girlfriend. Alexis heads to the ring followed by Mike as she is announced.}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Mike Laszlo, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 115 pounds, Alexis Caffreeeey!!!
{She gets to the ring and climbs up on the apron and into the ring. She heads to the corner opposite the entrance ramp as Mike climbs onto the apron to give her words of encouragement and further instruction.}Terri Morasco: The fun loving Alexis Caffrey with her boyfriend by her side.
Vasco Dias: These two better watch out for Killian Creed who can attack at a moment’s notice.
Terri Morasco: I wouldn’t put it past him one single bit.
Alison Valance: And their opponents…
{Freak Like Me by Halestorm begins, and Desiree bounces out from behind the curtain, dropping to her knees at the top of the ramp. Ayla follows here, standing behind her , arms extended. The music kicks in full blast and Desi pops to her feet. The two embrace and look toward the camera for dramatic effect, then start down the ramp and sliding into the ring. Desiree steps up onto the second rope and leans over it, her eyes glancing over the crowd. Ayla steps up behind her, and grabs hold of her hair, pulling her back against her own body, whispering into her ear. Ayla then slips out of the ring to lurk ringside while Desiree gets ready to wrestle.}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Ayla St. James, from Las Crusas, New Mexico, weighing in at 117 pounds, DESIREE ST. JAAAAMES!
Terri Morasco: These two had a lot to say over the week.
Vasco Dias: Indeed they did. Desiree can’t trust her partner tonight, and has two girls on the other side of the ring willing to do whatever it takes to win.
Alison Valance: And her partner…
{Personal Jesus by Marilyn Manson hits the speakers. Ana steps out with the Ruby Title around her waist and places a perfectly manicured hand to her pink lips, she presses her fingertips into a kiss and them blows it out to the crowd, before flashing them a sly smirk. She mockingly makes a sign of the cross across her chest, before pointing at herself.}Alison Valance: From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 112 pounds, she is the reigning Ruby Champion…ANA VALENTIIIIIINE!!!
{She then makes her way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope, in a crawl forward fashion and pulls up from her feet all the way up with a bend at the hips easily, before moving off to a corner to stretch out.}Terri Morasco: She claims that none of these women can touch her, but we’ll see just how close they get tonight.
Vasco Dias: She’s the reigning and defending Ruby Champion. Until someone takes that belt off her waist…she’s entitled to say what she wants.
{Personal Jesus closes out as Ana hands the Ruby Title over the middle rope to the stagehand. The teams discuss strategy as Alexis steps out onto the apron leaving Alice to start the match for their team. On the other side you have Desiree and Ana arguing over who is going to start things.}Terri Morasco: Some dissension already as they are arguing who starts this thing.
Vasco Dias: Well you had to know that a team containing a champion and one of her challengers wasn’t going to be cohesive.
{Out on the apron, Mike signals for Alexis to lean down, whispering something in her ear. She steps back into the ring and whispers into Alice’s ear. The two then nod at one another and charge the other team, all four women heading down to the mat.}Terri Morasco: Well, the referee has lost control of this one.
Vasco Dias: We need to hire better referees.
{Alexis and Ana roll around trading blows before rolling out of the ring leaving Alice and Desiree in the ring as the bell rings. Mike runs around and pulls Alexis off of Ana as the referee holds the Ruby Champion back. Alexis like a wild woman is kicking and stretching out toward Ana as Mike carries her to her corner and sets her down. Ana meanwhile has climbed back onto her own corner, grabbing hold of the tag rope.}Vasco Dias: That Alexis is a feisty one.
Terri Morasco: Mike literally had to carry her to her corner kicking and screaming.
{Meanwhile, in the ring, Alice and Desiree have gotten to their feet and locked up in the center of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up. Alice quickly goes behind and pulls down the skirt of Desiree who is completely thrown off her game as she scrambles to pull her skirt back up as the crowd and Alice and pretty much everyone gets a chuckle out of it.}Vasco Dias: Well that’s uncalled for.
Terri Morasco: That’s the unorthodox ways of Alice Pleasant.
{Desiree regains her composure only enough to take a wild, angry swing at Alice who ducks before connecting with a forearm of her own that sends Desiree toward the ropes. Two more shots before Alice sends Desiree to the far-side before executing a textbook arm drag. Desiree is quick to her feet, only to be taken back down by Alice who this time grasping the arm of Desiree and stretching out the muscles and tendons in the arm.}Vasco Dias: Great mat wrestling by Alice. She may be weird but I can’t help but love technical wrestling.
Terri Morasco: She may seem completely out of her mind, but she herself snapped out of it and told everyone exactly how real all of this is to her.
{Desiree fights back up to her feet. Using her free hand she hits a few elbows to the stomach of Alice who lets go of her arm. Desiree whips Alice into the far-side ropes and almost as soon as Alice bounces off the ropes, Desiree charges in and hits a running STO. Alice holds the back of her head as Alexis looks on concerned.}Terri Morasco: A hard takedown there by Desiree.
Vasco Dias: Just rattling the marbles in that poor girls head even more.
{Desiree grabs hold of Alice’s leg after the impact move and pulls her over into the corner where Ana holds her hand out for a tag.}Terri Morasco: Here comes the Ruby Champion.
{Ana steps in and grabs hold of Alice’s leg, wrenching it toward her in an attempt to hyperextend the leg. She does it again as Alice winces in pain. Ana taunts the crowd who boo her as she turns back to Alice and grabs her by the pigtails on her head, pulling her into a bearhug that soon turns into a Belly to Belly Suplex that sends Alice flying.}Vasco Dias: Miss Valentine showing why she has that title around her waist.
{Ana gets a little cocky and showboats a little more feeling comfortably about her advantage at hand. She turns back to Alice again but this time Alice rolls up the champion for the first cover attempt of the match…
1!
2!!
NO!
Ana rolls out of the roll up and is quick to her feet, leveling Alice with a hard clothesline. With Alice down, Ana grabs her by the hand and drags her back to their corner, tagging in Desiree.}Terri Morasco: I think that early attack by the so-called “Crazy Chicks” didn’t set well with Desiree and Ana. Now they’re working together and seem dominant.
{Desiree pulls Alice to her feet. She under-hooks the arm and looks to be going for a Double Underhook DDT but Alice wriggles away and manages to move just enough to hit a Northern Lights Suplex. Both girls are on their backs as the crowd starts clapping, led on by Alexis and Mike who slaps at the mat. Alice crawls to her corner as Ana looks on maddened by how quickly the momentum may turn.}Terri Morasco: This could be a turning point here.
Vasco Dias: If she makes this tag the momentum will definitely switch.
{Both girls are crawling when Alice lunges toward Alexis and makes the tag. Alexis is quick into the ring and runs to the corner, knocking Ana off the apron before Desiree can make a tag and quickly turns to Desiree who is getting back to her feet and hits her with a Lunging Clothesline, dropping to her knees in the process. Desiree is quickly up but gets dropped not once, but twice more. Desiree seems dazed but swings anyway as Alexis ducks and turns, lunging toward Desiree, catching her as she turns and sticks her legs straight up in the air before swinging them down and hitting a huge DDT!}Terri Morasco: Alexis with the Graceful Letdown!
Vasco Dias: Momentum switch.
{Alexis goes for the cover and gets a two before Ana flies in out of nowhere, breaking up the pin attempt.
Ana then reaches down and drags Desiree to the corner and steps out on the apron to tag herself in. Ana enters the ring and grabs hold of Alexis’ long black hair but Alexis flings her arms upward and hits a Spinning Back Kick to Ana’s gut. She leaps up and goes to hit her with the Kiss Goodnight (spinning codebreaker) finisher, but it’s too early in the match and Ana is able to grab hold of the rope, stopping the momentum and causing Alexis to crash down on her back.}Terri Morasco: Just where it all seemed to be going well for Alexis, Ana with a heady move to grab hold of that top rope.
Vasco Dias: And that’s why she is Ruby Champion.
{Ana grabs hold of Alexis’ legs and flips over with a pin attempt after the failed finisher attempt.
1!
2!!
NO! Alexis gets out of it.
The two are both to their feet when Alexis goes for a clothesline and Ana ducks hitting the “Cupid’s Arrow” (German Suplex) with a bridge for another pin attempt…
1!
2!!
NO! Alice lunges in to break the attempt. The referee blocks Alice out as Ana drags Alexis to the corner and tags Desiree back in. Desiree stalks Alexis who is sat up now, holding the back of her head. Desiree runs in and attempts a Shining Wizard but Alexis falls back, avoiding the contact. She then rolls to her stomach and jumps up, grabbing hold of Desiree from behind, twisting her body around to the front of her and hitting the Imagine This! (Shiranui) She goes for the cover again only to have Ana break up the cover. Alice enters and the two fight it out, eventually falling through the ropes and out of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Those two are going at it frivolously!
Vasco Dias: Maybe Alice has a dog in the fight after all.
{Desiree and Alexis are slow to their feet as Desiree turns around she runs at Alexis looking for her “Cutthroat” Jumping Leg Lariat. Alexis ducks and takes a few steps further for momentum bouncing off the ropes and running back to Desiree who turns as Alexis starts with a headscissors and turns it into the “Entanglement” (Black Widow) Submission hold in the center of the ring.}Vasco Dias: There’s that submission hold she and Laszlo call the Entanglement!
Terri Morasco: It’s locked in, in the center of the ring and Ana is busy fighting Alice on the outside.
{After a nice bit of fight, Desiree collapses to a knee and soon gives into the pain, tapping out to the hold with the referee signaling for the bell.}Alison Valance: Here are your winners…Alice Pleasant and Alexis Caffrey!!
{“Cult of Love” plays as Ana and Alice are broken apart by the referee who hands Ana her title. She looks down at the ring in anger and slowly backs up the ramp as Alice and Alexis celebrate in the ring. Alexis turns to Ana with a grin as Ana shoots back a glare as we go to break.}----------------------------------------------------------
EXTREME RULES MATCH
The Ace vs Davey Ortega
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Well fans, welcome back and up next we have what can be considered a classica NCW rivalry match coming up next.
Vasco Dias: It's true, these men's careers have crossed paths several times in some of NCW's most violent feuds and I believe it's safe to say that both of them would love a victory here tonight.
Terri Morasco: Both men are former Xtreme champions and both or very comfortable in settings such as this match, it should be another classic match in this rivalry and another budding classic for IWF.
Vasco Dias: I agree, should be fantastic... so what are we waiting for? Lets get to this already, I can't wait!
{The lights in the arena start to flash red, green, yellow and purple in rotation with the opening guitar and drums. As the lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell kick in, the circular platform that The Ace is stood upon with his back towards us, the platform is decorated to look like a roulette wheel. Slowly it spins a full one-eighty degrees and as the chorus is reached and we see The Ace facing us, and cards begin to fall from the rafters. The Ace waits a moment before stepping off the platform and grasping the hand of Kathleen Conway, who is carrying her husband's steel rake in one hand and the couple proudly walk through the shower of falling cards, hand in hand. At the foot of the ramp, the cards stop falling as the couple share a kiss. The Ace then confidently struts over to the steel steps as Kathy remains at ringside, armed. The Ace climbs the steel steps towards the ropes and steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, unhooking his title belt and climbing the second rope. He raises both arms in the air. The Ace then climbs down and he walks to the middle of the ring, the lights return to normal.}Vasco Dias: The Ace, a man who is never short on confidence, but a man who has been torn of late...
Terri Morasco: He's never head his moral compass tested like he has recently. He's always been a wrestler who played by his own rules... but that's been taken from him.
Vasco Dias: Exactly. He will beat you, he will embarrass you and he will use any tactic he damn well pleases to accomplish the task... the problem is now he's being instructed to do so, now he can't make the judgment for himself on what needs to be done.
Terri Morasco: he's a puppet... and you can see the effec it's having on him, he visibly doesn't seem like the same Ace we've come to know and hate.
{''Land of Confusion'' by Disturbed blasts over the speakers as the crowd roars in cheers. Dave Ortega soon slowly walks out with his hands behind his back, smiling as he walks to the center of the ramp. He throw his arms up in the air to a raucous response. He then begins to walk down the ramp, giving high fives to the people with out stretched hands. He walks to the fans ring side, offering some hasty autographs and even a picture before heading up the stairs onto the apron. He steps into the ring going directly for a turnbuckle, standing tall as the crowd cheers and flash photography begins. After a few seconds he gets down and begins to focus on the match.}Terri Morasco: Davey Ortega. The man everybody is hoping will free us from Spike Kane's rule at Metamorphosis.
Vasco Dias: It would only be fitting to see Davey Ortega to put an end to this craziness.
Terri Morasco: IWF has allowed Spike Kane to run rough shot through this company long enough. In Ortega we trust... but we have to stay focused, there is a match right in front of us that is ready to get under way.
Vasco Dias: This should be exciting... I can feel the tension in the air.
{The bell rings and both men uneasily circle each other in the center of the ring waiting for the other to make the first move, they eventually go towards each other and lock up in a collar and elbow lockup but when it becomes a stalemate they simultaneously pull away and access the situation. Finally, after several seconds, Ortega makes a move and charges forward at Ace with a toe kick to the stomach and catches Ace off guard. Ortega grabs Ace by the head and looks for the possibily of a DDT but Ace grabs Ortega and lifts him up off the mat and flips him backwards over his head, however Ortega lands on his feet! Ortega spins around and when Ace turns he turns right into a dropkick from Ortega! Ace hits the mat but he quickly turns over and gets back to his feet trying to fight through the attack. Ace charges towards Ortega with a clothesline but Ortega side steps it, grabs The Ace's arm and flings him to the mat going for the SATURDAY NIGHT RIDE already! The Ace however refuses to be caught and manages to pull his arm from Ortega's grasp as he rolls away to the outside of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Davey Ortega tries to end this extreme match early there.
Vasco Dias: He almost got him but no cigar, The Ace is just too smart to be taken out that quickly.
Terri Morasco: Now The Ace has to regroup because Ortega has come out here firing, not a bad idea to go to the outside and think about this for a minute.
{Just as Ace begins to walk around ringside with his hands on his hips, Ortega gets a head of steam and flies through the middle rope and connects with Ace with the suicide dive that sends both men crashing into the ring barriers!}Terri Morasco: Or maybe not...
Vasco Dias: Extreme match Morasco... anything goes!
{The fans cheer as Ortega gets back to his feet and grabs the Ace by his hair, pulling him to his feet. Ortega takes Ace and throws him back first into the steel ring steps causing Ace to arch his back in pain but has no time to react when Ortega comes running in and hits a running knee strike to Ace pinned against the ring steps! Ace's eyes almost roll into the back of his head as he slumps forward and then over to the side in pain. Ortega takes Ace up again and this time walks Jake Conway over to the announce table and smashes him into it head first before placing the Ace on top of the table in one motion.}Vasco Dias: Whta in the world is this crazy Ortega planning here?!
Terri Morasco: I don't know but I don't like the looks of it... our poor table, not again!
{Ortega turns around and heads towards the ring, but The Ace isn't about to get put through this table that easily and as Ortega climbs to the ring apron The Ace rolls over the table and is on his knees on the floor. Ortega reevaluates the situation and comes diving off with a double ax handle but The Ace is ready and drives and uppercut forward and splits Ortega right between the legs as he lands! Ortega screams out in pain, stumbles forward and falls to his knees. The Ace stands back to his feet where he grabs Ortega by the back of the tights and by his hair, he forces Ortega up and violently throws him face first into the steel ring post! The Ace looking annoyed grabs a steel chair away from the time keeper, he comes forward and drives it into the stomach of Ortega who is trying to get back to his feet and then brings it crashing down against the upper back of his opponant as Ortega slumps over in pain from the first shot. The Ace takes the chair and begins bashing it into the back of Ortega s he lays on the ground as the fans begin to boo his actions. Ace puts the chair to the side after several shots before grabbing Ortega and slinging him back into the ring. Ace grabs the chair and slides into the ring, he sits the chair up into a sitting position and grabs Ortega up off the mat, he takes Davey by his arm and RUSSIAN ROULETTE onto the chair!}Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD! He just put Ortega face first into that chair! That's sick!
Vasco Dias: The Ace does what it takes to win. If it involves smashing your opponants head like a grape, then so be it.
Terri Morasco: That is just disgusting... no reason to go to these types of lengths just to win a match.
Vasco Dias: Are you sure he's just trying to win... he might have orders to make sure Ortega is in no shape against Spike Kane next week.
{Ortega grabs Ortega, who is rolling on the ground holding his face in pain, and flips him over before hooking a leg. He covers and gets a 1...2...NO! Ortega throws the shoulder off the mat!}Terri Morasco: How!? How did Ortega kick out of that?
Vasco: Dias: That was clearly a slow count by the referee there.
{The Ace stands up and looks down at Ortega who turns over and holds his head in pain still. The Ace slides out of the ring and reaches under the ring, he pulls out a table and slides it back into the ring before going back and looking for more. He decides on a trash can filled with blunt weaponry and pushes it under the bottom rope.}Vaso Dias: looks like Ace has found a trash can of goodies under that ring.
Terri Morasco: Gotta love the ring crew... preparing for everything by putting that under the ring.
{The Ace follows his weapons into the ring where he takes the trash can and dumps it's contents into the ring. The Ace takes the trash can and raises it above his head waiting on Ortega to get to his feet, Ortega is trying to stand and SMASH! Right to the top of the head, Ace drives the trash can down on Ortega. Ortega falls to his knees in pain again as he seems completely dazed, possibly with a concussion. The Ace steps away after putting the trash can on the ground. Ortega is trying to get to his feet again but the Ace comes charging forwad and goes for the SEVENTH STREET KICK, trying to put Ortega face first into the trash can on the mat, but Ortega steps out of the way. The Ace lands and turns around, but Ortega has sprinted to the ropes and bounced back already. Ortega grabs the Ace by the head as he jumps and spins around and RUNNING DDT onto the trash can!}Terri Morasco: Holy hell! What a move by Ortega!
Vasco Dias: The Ace is out, but Ortega can't capitalize as he's laying on his back in pain, he can't capitalize on this!
Terri Morasco: Come on Davey, get up, make the cover!
{Ortega turns over and manages to throw his arm over the chest of Ace and getst he 1...2... but no Ace throws his shoulder up now!}Terri Morasco: So close!
{Ortega rolls over and back to his feet where he grabs the table that Ace slid into the ring and sits it up in the ring ready for use. Ortega heads back to Ace, takes him by the hair and throws him onto the table where the fans begin to cheer, as they always do for a good table spot. Ortega climbs to the ropes and up to the top where he raises his arms before diving off with a macho elbow drop but the Ace rolls off the table and Ortega goes crashing through on his own, and both men lay on the ground in pain.}Terri Morasco: What a back and forth contest between these two! Ortega goes for the elbow but The Ace just refuses to be put away like that.
Vasco Dias: That's his best quality, he never gives up... wait... what's this? The fans are reacting to something here.
Terri Morasco: Oh no.. it can't be... danggit what is he doing here!?
{The camera cuts to the entrance ramp as the fans begin to audibly boo loudly and we Simon De Montfort walking towards the ring. In his hands two metal loops that can clearly be seen as handcuffs. Simon stands at ringside and begins yelling at The Ace to get up. Ace turns over to his knees and has the handcuffs slid into the ring for him.}Terri Morasco: What is this... Simon de Montfort is giving the Ace a pair of handcuffs and it appears he's...
Vasco Dias: Ordering the Ace to handcuff Davey Ortega to the ropes! What a villainous... ingenious plan! He's going to make sure Davey Ortega isn't going to make it to Meta by having Ace take him out!
Terri Morasco: NO! Don't do it Ace!
{The Ace take sthe cuffs, but he looks at Simon with disbelief in his eyes before shaking his head “no”. We can hear Simon's response loud and clear, even without a mic as he yells back into the Ring at Ace.}Simon de Montfort: DO IT NOW!
{The Ace sighs as he takes the handcuffs and puts one end on the wrist of Davey Ortega, he drags ortega by the other cuff and heads towards the ropes but suddenly he's stopped, he's pulled back by Ortega who lays a punch right into the stomach of The Ace! The crowd cheers as Ortega gets to his feet and begins driving Ace back into the corner with several hard punches, fighting being handcuffed to the ropes. He takes Ace by the arm and whips him across the ring and hits a big running lariat in opposite corner! The Ace comes staggering out of the corner and Ortega positions himself behind Ace and grabs one of the broom sticks that was in The Ace's trash can and clocks Ace in the back of the knees sending him falling flat on his back! Ortega has the fans on their feet cheering now as he positions himself for his STAMP OF APPROVAl. The Ace begins to stand to his feet and Ortega takes a step to go for the move but suddenly Simon grabs Ortega's leg and trips him up!}Terri Morasco: Come on! Ortega was about to finish it!
Vasco Dias: Looks like Simon wasn't going to let that happen... Ortega should have known better.
Terri Morasco: It's pathetic is what it is. This is a travisty.
{Ortega turns over and looks as Simon with disbelief in his eyes as he yells at him. However as Ortega and Simon are exchanging words Ace sneaks up behind Ortega and takes the other cuff and locks it the ring rope! Ortega turns around and triesto go at Ace but is pulled back like a dog on a leash.}Terri Morasco: This is not good... not good at all.
Vasco Dias: I guess that depends on your perspective.
{Simon de Montfort points Ace towards the pile of weapons that came out of the trash can earlier and begins to demand Ace begin to use the sledgehammer that is there against Ortega. The Ace is hesitant however, he doesn't want to go through with this.}Terri Morasco: Come on Jake, dont' let him control you like that... fight it, don't do this to Ortega!
Vasco Dias: Do your job Ace! Do it right now!
Terris Morasco: Shut up Vasco!
{The Ace tries to fight Simon by not doing what he's told but Simon continues to berate him and demand that Ace do his job until Ace lowers his head and picks up the sledge hammer. Ortega tries to get away but he can't, there is literally nowhere to go as Ace brings the sledgehammer up... but then lowers it without swinging. He looks at Simon and shakes his head “no” again!}Terri Morasco: Yes! That a boy Ace, don't fall under this pressure!
{Simon looks furious as slides into the ring and the fans begin to boo louder as Spike Kane, Lance Ryan, and Bob Pooler begin making their way to the ring. The Ace is no surrounded.}Vasco Dias: You should do your job like a man Ace. You Should follow your orders. Spike Kane and his Empire are not about to take this kind of disobedience.
Terri Morasco: Come on Vasco, you know this is wrong.
{Ryan and Pooler both grab weapons from off the mat as Spike and Simon now begin pointing at Ortega telling Ace to finish him.}Spike Kane: Do it Jake! Take him out of this business forever! It's your only responsibly, you owe it to me, you owe it to the Empire!
Simon de Montfort: DO IT! FINISH HIM! NOW!
{The Ace stands there, he doesn't raise the sledgehammer and finally Spike Kane has had enough. Spike grabs at the hammer and begins to try and pull it away from Ace but Ace holds onto it and two begin to struggle. Lance Ryan, Pooler and Simon all begin to berate the Ace as he holds on, but he never breaks his grip form the weapon. As the struggle is going on inside the ring, IWF security personnell run down with bolt cutters and free Ortega who slides out of the ring, jumps into the crowd and begins walking away with a smile of relief on his face looking towards the ring.}Terri Morasco: YES! Ortega is free, Ortega lives to fight another day... namely metamorphosis!
Vasco Dias: Dammit Ace, you ruined this!
{Spike Kane finally pulls the sledge away and turns towards where Ortega was and raises the weapon but nobody is there. Spike looks shocked, then he looks up to see ortega waving at him from the crowd. Spike Kane furiously thows the device down and screams in Ortega's direction. Spike kicks the bottom rope in frustration and we head to commercial break with Ortega standing in the crowd making the “belt” motion with his hands.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
"Contract signing."
----------------------------------------------------------
{ “Hail to the King” welcomes us back from the break as Spike Kane along with Lance Ryan and Bob Pooler all stand in the ring together. Spike has the Imperial Championship over his shoulder and a clip board with a contract in his hand. He raises a microphone as the fans boo him wildly. }Spike Kane: Tonight we were supposed to have a contract signing between myself and the self proclaimed “real” Imperial Champion, Davey Ortega.
{ The crowd cheers at the mention of his name and Spike only sneers. }Spike Kane: HOWEVER! There will be no contract signing and furthermore there will be no match as Davey Ortega is no longer in the building!
{ The crowd doesn’t believe it as the Imperial Champion grins. }Spike Kane: That’s right. Your hero left the building, tucked tail and ran after what we did to him earlier tonight. He was probably afraid we were only getting started and he was right! We are only getting started. See you can run, Davey and you can hide but my Empire will find you. We will find you and we will see you stand trial for you crimes against the king!
{ Spike grins like a mad man as he looks around his kingdom. }Spike Kane: Davey Ortega is a traitor to my Empire, to my cause and he will be sentenced, I promise you that.
{ The crowd is not happy as Spike adjusts his belt. }Spike Kane: Now to the business of Roberto Verona…
{ Spike is interrupted as Roberto Verona steps out from behind the curtain. }Roberto Verona: Slow it down Spike, what do you mean the Davey Ortega isn’t in the building?
{ Spike nods and looks around, he’s about to say something. }Roberto Verona: HE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
{ Spike, Lance and Pooler turn just in time to see Davey slide into the ring and lay Spike out with his version of the Imperial Championship!!! }Vasco Dias:: DID YOU SEE THAT!!!
Terri Morasco: Davey Ortega with the surprise attack!!!
{ Ortega grabs the contract and Spike Imperial Championship as Pooler and Lance chase after him. }Vasco Dias:: Ortega just laid out Spike Kane!
Terri Morasco: AWESOME!!!
{ Davey hops the barrier and disappears into the crowd, Lance and Pooler go after him but lose track of him. }Vasco Dias:: Where did he go?
Terri Morasco: No idea.
{ Davey turns up deep in the crowd where you see him take a pen from a fan and sign his name to the contract. Spike sits up just in time to see this and the smile on Verona’s face. Ortega holds up both the Imperial Championships as Spike seethes in the ring. }Vasco Dias:: Ortega got one up on the Empire!
Terri Morasco: Not only that, he took off with Spike’s Imperial Championship! Spike Kane is going to be pissed!
Vasco Dias:: He already is.
{ Spike stands up and points at Ortega in the crowd and makes the cut throat motion. We pan back to Verona. }Roberto Verona: Well, now that this looks like a fair fight lets see exactly who the King of IWF is.
Vasco Dias:: YES!!!!
{ Verona takes one step toward the ring and Spike Kane when Nero and Tank come out of the back and level Verona with a double clothes line. He tries to get up but the two man stomp fest gets under way as Spike laughs in the ring. Angel and Amber step out from behind the curtain. }Terri Morasco: And heres Angel’s revenge for earlier tonight…
Vasco Dias:: Sickening!
{ Angel kneels over Verona and talks trash as Amber watches. Suddenly Eternity comes from out of nowhere and just plows into Amber! }Terri Morasco: What the hell??
Vasco Dias:: NO IDEA!?
{ Eternity and Amber start brawling down the ramp as Angel and company look on. Spike turns his attention back to Davey who still has both belts and a grin, Lance and Pooler make their way back to Spike as complete mayhem has broken out all over the arena. }Vasco Dias:: Davey Ortega has both Imperial Championships, Roberto Verona is at the mercy of Ragnarok and Eternity is brawling with Amber!
{ Nero and Tank separate the women as they try to break free, Angel continues to stand over Roberto and Spike and Davey lock eyes. }Vasco Dias:: All this madness will be coming to a head in seven short days at Metamorphosis. DON’T MISS IT!
{ The show ends on the image of Davey Ortega in the crowd with both belts. }
