"#ThankYouSpike"
----------------------------------------------------------
{The crowd are restless in the lull between matches when suddenly the edited version of Avenged Sevenfolds "Hail to the King" blasts through the sound system, the tron flickering to life with the video package for Spike Kane.}
Vasco Dias: Well this is interesting Spike Kane isn't schedule to appear tonight.
Terri Morasco: No Dias he isn't, and last week during the all or nothing Heir to the Throne match he seemed to hurt himself.
{The crowd erupt with cheers as Spike Kane walks through the curtain. He's dressed in casual clothes, jeans, an Avenged Sevenfold T-shirt, and a Sons of Anarchy baseball cap. He stands on the stage and looks out at the crowd, taking it all in.}Vasco Dias: Well it looks like the former Imperial Champion is out here to speak some words.
Terri Morasco: Spikes never been one to mince his words, so this should be interesting.
{In the mean time Spike has made his way to the ring. He stands in the center and throws his arms into an "X" the crowd erupt again and Spike seems to falter for just one second before he stops and takes a deep breath, raising his mic to talk.}Spike Kane: You know I made my debut way back in October 1996? I came out working for a bloke called Little Simon Dynasty in some backwater federation that was essentially my passport into the United States. Whether we like to admit it or not, to make it big in this business, you have to make it in America. Those were my first steps in this business, one that has seen my travel the world.....one that has seen me gain three Hall of Fame rings, countless championships, and millions of fans worldwide. I got to do what I was good at, and got paid for it. What started out as a simple means to an end became a way of life......because of all of you!
{Spike points to the crowd who immediately pop.}Spike Kane: Some people might ridicule me, and tell me I'm trying to pander to you, but that isn't the truth. I'm trying to thank you for giving me the career that I've had. The fact that so many of you showed up to cheer me on to victory, or scream for my blood.....it gave me the reaction we all need. Its because of your reaction that I got to live the life so many others dream of.....and I am eternally grateful....
{Spike stops for a minute as he seems to choke up. He takes a minute to catch his breath and regain his calm.}Terri Morasco: Vasco.....I don't think I like where this is going....
Spike Kane: huagh.......so it's with the heaviest heart you could imagine that I have to stand before you all tonight and tell you that our epic journey together has to end right here.
{The crowd seem a bit stunned and there are one or two boos}Spike Kane: Last week I suffered an injury to my spinal column right at my neck....I won't go into specifics but combined with several other injuries the doctors have told me that I'm done. That I can't continue with this line of work....another injury could end up crippling me from the neck down and.....well, that would be the best case scenario.....
{Spikes upper lip trembles ever so slightly as he tries his hardest to keep control of his emotions.}Spike Kane: So when I stand here in front of you all....I stand here not as Spike Kane the "God of Xtreme" but simply as Michael Kane.....a man who got to live his dream, a man who has been blessed with the best of friends, and a man whose own family would let him use them in TV storylines......the only upside to having to walk away is I get to see my son grow up, and I get to be with my wife. The road causes strain on our personal lives and I am nothing but grateful to my family for putting up with it all. I am proud of everything I've done in this business and I leave knowing that I've given my all, that I achieved everything I set out to do, that I entertained, and I left behind a great legacy......I know my ego has been a constant point for my peers to poke at, but I know for a fact that I will be one tough act to follow!
{The crowd are all on their feet cheering and chanting "Thank You Spike!" The clapping getting louder and at ringside even Vasco and Terri are on their feet clapping. In the ring the emotions seem to be getting the better of Spike and his eyes are red as tears begin to slide down his face. He quickly wipes them away and raises the mic once more.}Spike Kane: Thank you. Thank each and every one of you. All those whoever cheered me, whoever boo'd me, whoever bought a T-shirt, or showed up for a signing session. This world is run by you all, and its because of that.....that I have such fond memories to look back on. Thank you IWF.....thank you all.....I love you!
{The emotion gets the better of Spike as he lowers the mic one last time. Tears welling in the corners of his eyes as he drops the mic and turns to the stage. The back starts to empty out onto the stage as many members of the roster come out. Renee Pleasant, Amber Richards, Mike Laszlo, Alexis, Caleb White, Alex Jones, Rob Diamond, KLB, Kyle Mason, Bob Pooler, The living legend Gib and many others. They all stand at the stage clapping as Alex, Rob and Pooler make their way down to the ring. Meanwhile we pan around ringside to find Steve Awesome, Charlie Velez, Venom, Mongo the Destroyer and Jeremy Lewis standing and applauding.}Vasco Dias: Seems like some of Spike's best rivals and friends want a closer look...
{The three get to the ring and Spike and Alex embrace as do Rob and Spike and lastly Pooler and Spike, the crowd start a second "Thank you Spike" chant as Pooler, Rob and Alex point to the screen}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Judas Alliah vs Cliff Clinton
----------------------------------------------------------
{Sober by Tool begins to play as the arena goes black and then is overtaken by an errie blue light. As the music begins to pick up the camera spots Cliff walking down to the ring through the audience. He shuffles through the crowd and keeps his head down and hidden behind some hair as he mumbles to himsel. Members of the crowd shift out of the way of this unknown character. Soon he hops over the barricade and climbs into the ring and walks into a corner and crouches as he mumbles to himself and glances around the arena.}Vasco Dias: Cliff Clinton is a scary guy, we have a match with two big boppers tonight..
Terri Morasco: They both look homeless...
Vasco Dias: In Clintons case...he is...

Vasco Dias: He creeps everyone out...but this should be a great match a battle of two three hundred pounders...
{Judas paces back and forth laughing and talking to himself as Clinton tilts his head, the bell rings and the two men explode into one another with hard rights and lefts. No technical ability to something that looks like a pier 6 brawl. Clinton being the slightly bigger man by 30 pounds and 1 inch blocks a right hand from Judas and hits a side knee before ducking down and picking Judas up throwing him overhead with an exploder tbone. Judas crashes to the mat and stands up turning around just in time to see Clinton come in with a clothesline, Judas ducks and shows great athletisism for a big man by sprinting to the ropes whipping himself back at Clinton hitting a running mafia kick that he calls Lust}Vasco Dias: Wow great openning to this match...

Terri Morasco: They are both very big men
{Clinton follows Judas to the floor and grabs Judas by tthe hair and the pants running him into the barricade, Judas laughs as pain shoots through his body, inside the ring the referee counts.1.....2.....3.....4
Judas gets to his feet as Clinton comes at him and he runs Clinton back first into the ring apron before unloading with hard right hand. 5......6.....7......8
Clinton shoves Judas back and the two meet toe to toe with hard right hands brawling all over ringside.9......10. The bell rings}Vasco Dias: What?...a count out?...
Terri Morasco: I don't think they care....
{Cliff and Judas keep throwing fists and elbows with both men connecting hard with neither man being able to get the upper hand. Suddenly a flood of security and road agents come down to separate the men, Clinton and Judas both start unloading on the security members sending them scattering as it is near impossible to stop these two giants.}Vasco Dias: This is intense...they need to be separated!
{After a few moments more security finally restrains both men as they shout at one another and we cut backstage}----------------------------------------------------------

Renee Pleasant: Right.. I aint got no clue wha’ yah two lasses are talkin’ bout an’ yah aint got no idea wha’ ah’m talkin’ bout...
{A knock at the door precedes Amber walking into the office, she glances at Renee, sitting on the couch practically looming over Hanna and then looks to Nikki, with a confused expression on her face.}Amber Richards: Apparently you have some paperwork for me to sign...?
{Nikki smiles and nods, pointing to the chair opposite her at the desk, she slides the Change of Status notification over the desk to Amber, who smirks and then shrugs her shoulders, pulling her hands behind her back to hide them.} Amber Richards: I have not had a change in status...
Nikki Michaels: Yourself and Renee are IWF employees... If you two are...
Amber Richards: Are what?

As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes.}Vasco Dias: Mercedes had to give up her Ruby title for this...

{Backstage at the arena, Amber Richards is leaning against the wall, one leg kicked up behind her, she smirks slightly as stood to her side is Willy Carter, both obviously waiting for their que to begin an interview. Willy makes no attempt to hide his roaming eyes which trail up and down Amber’s body.
Amber, dresses in a pair of skin tight leather pants and a Renee Pleasant shirt, tied off to the side to bare her toned and pale midsection, simply rolls her eyes and clears her throat, pointing at her face, as if to say ‘my eyes are up here’. Willy half shrugs and then turns to face the camera.}Willy Carter: You can’t blame a man for appreciating the female body in its finest form...
{A harsh *ahem* noise comes from behind Willy, who physically jumps as Renee Pleasant appears behind him.

Willy Carter: I haven’t seen a ring on her hand yet Renee....

HARDCORE MATCH
Frank Black vs Kyle Mason
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Blues Saraceno - Evil Ways (Justice Mix) blares through the PA system as Kyle Mason steps out from behind the curtains. Mason walks out to the front of the rampway and scans the crowd. He starts to make his way to the ring and stop as if he forgot something. He smiles and makes the "X" symbol over his head as pyros explode at the entrance way. Mason then begins to walk arrogantly towards the ring. As he reaches the apron, Mason slides under the bottom rope and climbs the nearest turnbuckle. He pumps up the crowd and hops off and leans in the corner, waiting for the match to start. }Vasco Dias: I’m not going to lie I’m very excited about this next match up.
Terri Morasco: Yeah I’m with you, Kyle Mason has been extremely impressive since his debut. He’s one of the few strong style men on the roster has cut a real niche out for himself.
Vasco Dias: And don’t forget that Frank Black has just returned from an extended leave of absence, he’s going to be looking to make a serious impact.
Terri Morasco: And let’s not forget that his big brother Eddie is at ring side with him.
Vasco Dias: Yes I’m sure they will both remind us of that during this hardcore match where it’ll be anything goes.
{ Respect by Avenged Sevenfold hits the pa as Frank and Eddie Black walk out onto the stage, Rachel stands behind them. The two brothers look around before hyping each other up and running down to the ring and sliding in, they pop up to their feet and double high five before turning to the crowd and yelling. Rachel watches from the outside. } Vasco Dias: Eddie and Rachel are both circling the ring.
Terri Morasco: Kyle doesn’t look phased at all by them being here.
Vasco Dias: The man has no fear.
{ The bell sounds and Frank takes off right out of the corner, Mason side steps him and sends him into the turn buckles and begins to unload some punches to his mid section. Kyle rears back and drives a hard elbow into the side of Frank’s face and then plows a shoulder into his gut. Mason grabs him around the waist and rips him out of the corner with an overhead belly to belly release suplex. }Vasco Dias: Kyle Mason showing off his upper body strength.
Terri Morasco: The man is a real force to be reckoned with.
{ Frank starts to get up but Kyle drives a running knee into the side of his head. He wraps his arms around his waist and pulls Frank up off the mat into a bridging German suplex but Frank kicks right out and tries to get to his feet. Frank goes for a drop kick but Kyle swats him out of the sky and is right on him when he lands with a knee to the back of the head. Kyle rams his knee into the spine of Frank and pulls him up into a modified camel clutch. Kyle rears back hard on the neck of Frank and really drives that knee into his spine. }Vasco Dias: Kyle with that modified Camel Clutch.
Terri Morasco: He could easily cause permanent damage to Frank.
{ Kyle finally releases him from the hold and gets back to his feet. He stomps Frank hard over the back and then pulls him up by his head. Kyle sends Frank flying into the corner and runs in but Frank kicks up his boot and catches Kyle in the jaw. Frank comes out of the corner with a clothes line but Kyle drops him with a drop toe hold. Kyle is right up and kicks Frank hard as he tries to stand. Eddie and Rachel scream from the outside. }Vasco Dias: Mason has really been dominating Frank here.
Terri Morasco: It’s only a matter of time before the numbers game plays a factor here.
{ Frank struggles to get to his feet and Kyle hits him with the Sunday, Bloody Sunday ending with that vicious clothes line to the back of the head. Kyle isn’t finished as he pulls Frank up to his feet and lifts him up into the air and brings him down on top of the turn buckles wit the Spiked Punch brainbuster! Frank looks to be out cold and Mason covers him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Frank has taken an ungodly amount of punishment and was still able to get the shoulder up.
Vasco Dias: Mason has barely given him the chance to breath.
{ Mason runs for the ropes and looks to spring board but as he hits the ropes Eddie Black sends a steel chair flying into his face that knocks him hard onto his back. Eddie laughs from the outside as Mason rolls on the mat. Slowly Frank starts to get to his feet and Eddie slides him a steel chair. Frank picks it up and grins as Kyle stands up, he brings the chair hard across the back of Kyle Mason once, twice and three times. Mason drops to a knee and Frank rears back and brings it right across his face. Frank takes the chair to the corner where he forces between the middle and top rope. He pulls Mason up and runs him head first into the steel chair in the corner. He underhooks him and spins him around and hits the Chicken Wing DDT right into the corner! Mason is down and Frank covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Kyle was able to power out of the pin fall.
Terri Morasco: He’s got to find a way back into this fight before it’s too late.
Vasco Dias: Even if he does he still has to contend with Eddie on the outside.
{ Frank hoists Mason onto the top rope and then climbs up after him. Frank looks posed to hit the Super Rednecknado off the top rope but Kyle hooks his feet around the second rope and blocks, he then pulls Frank back up onto his shoulders and turns and sends Frank crashing to the outside with a POWER BOMB! }Vasco Dias: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??
{ Frank lands hard and awkwardly and just lays there as Kyle tries to catch his breath on the top rope. }Vasco Dias: He could of just ended Frank’s career.
Terri Morasco: That was painful to watch, I can’t even imagine how Frank must feel.
{ Eddie and Rachel make their way over to where Frank is but Mason steps onto the top rope and leaps to the outside where he hits Eddie with a massive clothes line. Rachel backs right off as Kyle pulls himself up onto the ring apron. He grabs Frank and pulls him to his feet and German suplexs him right into the crowd barrier!

Kyle turns and hits a big kick to the face that sends Frank into the crowd. Frank tries to get up but Kyle grabs him by the head and slams his face into the ring barrier and then grabs around then head and vertical suplexs him back over the barrier and onto the padded floor. }Vasco Dias: Mason is going to town on the outside.
Terri Morasco: He’s not playing the numbers game tonight as he man handles both of the brothers.
Vasco Dias: I would love to see this man take on Bates for the Invictus Championship after seeing him perform like this.
{ Kyle goes to grab Frank again but Rachel runs up behind him and drops to her knees to hit a low blow. Eddie is up and pulls out another steel chair and cracks him over the back of the head. Eddie begins to stomp Kyle as the referee jumps out and pushes him back. }Terri Morasco: The referee is finally stepping in.
Vasco Dias: It’s supposed to be hardcore rules but it looks like the referee is putting some limits on what anything goes means.
{ Eddie tries to push past the referee but he forces him back and then points to the back! }Vasco Dias: He’s evicting Eddie and Rachel from ring side!
Terri Morasco: YES!
{ Eddie is furious and threatens to level the referee but Rachel stops him as she points to Frank who is starting to get to his feet. }Vasco Dias: Looks like Rachel will be the voice of reason here.
{ Rachel and Eddie make their way to the back as Frank grins a toothless grin at Kyle and pulls him up. Frank cranks his neck back and then begins to head butt Kyle in the face with the Coconut Crunch over and over and over again until both men have wounds opened up on their forehead! }Vasco Dias: Frank has literally no regard for his own body.
Terri Morasco: Clearly.
{ Kyle stumbles as Frank comes at him with the REDNECKZUGIRI! Kyle is down and Frank wipes the blood off his head onto his hand and smears it across his chest. }Vasco Dias: Ok, well he’s crazy.
{ Frank looks under the ring and pulls out a table. He sets the table up like a bridge between the ring and the crowd barrier and pulls Kyle up and lays him on top of it. Frank climbs onto the apron and heads to the top rope. } Terri Morasco: This isn’t going to be good.
{ Frank leaps off the top rope to the outside and connects with the American Eagle Splash on Kyle Mason sending both men crashing through the table!!! }Vasco Dias: AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!
Terri Morasco: Kyle has to be done after that move.
Vasco Dias: Both of them have to be.
{ Frank lays on the floor for a long time before getting to his feet. He pulls Mason up and rolls him back into the ring. }Vasco Dias: Frank needs to hurry and make a cover as this match can only end inside the ring.
{ Frank hooks the leg and ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: HE KICKED OUT!
{ Frank can’t believe it and argues with the referee before grabbing Mason by the head, standing him up and looking for the Redneckanesse Super Kick! Mason ducks and connects with his own super kick and lays Frank out! Mason quickly covers him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Mason can feel the win, it’s just within his grasp.
{ Mason pulls Frank to his feet and runs him across the ring and throws him into the corner where the steel chair is, Frank hits hard and then Mason sends him over the top rope and to the outside with a massive clothes line. Frank lands hard on the floor and is slow to get to his feet but when he does Mason comes running across the ring and dives through the ropes with the Tokyo Drift DDT on to the arena floor! }Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!
Terri Morasco: That was pretty awesome.
{ The crowd are on their feet as Mason gets up, a little staggered but still in the fight. He digs under the ring and pulls out another table that he sets up on the outside of the ring. Mason pulls Frank up to his feet, hoists him over head and drops him through the table with the SPIKED PUNCH BRAINBUSTER!!! }Vasco Dias: That’s it. This one is all over.
Terri Morasco: I have no idea how Frank could come back from that.
Vasco Dias: He can’t. Kyle Mason has unloaded a ton of damage on Frank, he’s just been hanging on by a thread for a while now.
Terri Morasco: Kyle has this match won, he just needs to get him back into the ring.
{ Kyle rolls Frank in and crawls in after him, he hooks the leg and ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: WHAT!?
{ Mason is as stunned as the rest of the crowd and then makes another cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: I don’t believe it, he’s still in this!
Vasco Dias: I don’t believe it either.
{ Mason looks infuriated as he gets to his feet, he rips the steel chair out of the corner and throws it down on the mat. He grabs Frank and lifts him up to his feet. He sets him up for the QUICKENING ON THE STEEL CHAIR! Frank gets loose and pushes Mason off into the ropes, Mason bounces off and runs right into the REDNECKANESSE SUPER KICK! Mason is down and Frank drops on top of him. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Vasco Dias: Frank turned it around at the last second and stole the win here tonight.
Terri Morasco: I think the argument could be made that without Eddie and Rachel’s help, Frank wouldn’t of won this match.
Vasco Dias: No argument here, either way I’d love to see these two face off again sometime.
{ Frank just barely gets to his feet, bloody and victorious. }----------------------------------------------------------

{ The arena is plunged into darkness as the somber tones of “Sail” by Devildriver take over the arena’s sound system. The crowd boos furiously as a lone spotlight shines down on the stage where the self proclaimed IWF World Champion stands, his belt around his waist, his arms outstretched in the “Jesus” pose, Ana Valentine has her arm wrapped around his mid section and the Brothers Black stand to either side. }Vasco Dias: Looks like it’s time for Angel ’s special announcement, this should be good.
Terri Morasco: I don’t think the word “good” is a part of his vocabulary.{ Ana Valentine slips around Angel and pulls a microphone out of her back pocket. She smiles as the music fades away and the arena is still dark. }Ana Valentine: It is my absolute pleasure to introduce to you the Imperial Wrestling Federation’s CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! The one… The only… He is… GOD!!!!{ “Sail” blares back over the sound system as Angel throws his head back and laughs, the crowd breaks into a resounding “YOU SUCK!” chant as Angel starts making his way down the ramp, Ana and the Brothers with him. }Vasco Dias: God?? Is he serious?
Terri Morasco: More than likely.
Vasco Dias: How delusional can one man be? He’s actually going to refer to himself as God now?
Terri Morasco: He’s crazy, completely out of his mind.{ Angel waits for the Brothers to walk up the steps where each one sits on the ropes to make it easier for Angel and Ana to enter the ring. Angel unclasps his belt and throws it over his shoulder as Ana graciously hands him the microphone. The music dies down but the crowds boos are as loud as ever, Angel simply laughs. }Angel: My dear sweet children, your blissful ignorance is inspiring. If only let yourself believe in me then maybe you could share in my greatness like Ana or the Black boys.
Vasco Dias: Share in his greatness? Are you kidding me?
Angel:You see I have ascended, I no longer have a need for my mortal coil, the man known as Angel Blake is no more. I simply am who I always was… GOD!!! And you will obey me.
Vasco Dias: The hell I will.{ A “NO” chant quickly breaks out. }Angel: Your free will aside I am not giving you a choice. You will obey, you will believe or you will be dealt with like Spike Kane. My reach is limitless, my power endless, there is no escaping my wrath and now I am speaking directly to the Caleb White’s and Jake Conway’s backstage. You will not defy me. Though your monarch, Roberto Verona has returned, he holds no power over me. I am the Head of Booking, the World Champion, I am God and he is only a man. A weak. Pitiful. Man. And he will be brought to his knees just like everyone else that has stood in my way.
Vasco Dias: This sociopath has just threatened the entire locker room as well as everyone in the crowd! He’s mad!
Terri Morasco: He’s drunk with power.{ Angel grins as he soaks in the anger from the crowd. He looks to Ana and the Brothers who all find it very comical that they boo their God. Frank looks into the lens and yells “We coming for you, Caleb!” }Angel: At the Heir to the Throne pay per view a new number one contender to MY World Championship will be crowned, however it doesn’t feel right denying you the people of what you want to see. Me. It would be wrong of the IWF to expect you to pay your hard earned money and not get even a glimpse of your God. Roberto Verona has foolishly tried to keep me from you, knowing that it is my presence which feeds you, he tries to take you from me. I will not have it. This is why I am taking it upon myself to hand pick a worthy opponent for me to defeat in the Main Event of the Heir to the Throne!
Vasco Dias: What? He can’t do that, the main event is for the number one contendership!
Terri Morasco: I don’t think he care.{ They boo but Angel doesn’t care as he looks now to the ramp. }Angel: At the Heir to the Throne I will defend MY World Championship in the Main Event against-{ Suddenly "King of the World" blasts from the PA system and the crowd erupts as Angel is visibly irritated. Roberto Verona steps out, dressed in a smart suit with a microphone ready to address the world. }Roberto Verona: I'm sorry Angel, I don't think I heard you correctly... did you say that you're going to defend your Imperial Championship in the main event of the next pay-per view? I'd like to think I was hearing things because it sounds to me like somebody is getting well above their station in presuming their have the authority to override the tradition of a main event involving the stars of the Heir to the Throne tournament.Angel: I am the Head of Booking in IWF and I gave you back this company, I can do what I damn well please. No man here has the power to stop me.{ Roberto shakes his head and raises a finger. }Roberto Verona: That's not strictly true, is it, Angel? Now I'm well aware that your god complex has begun to run rampant, Lord knows I was on the recieving end of it long enough but I think you will find that as COO of the company and the absolute head of wrestling affairs that the buck stops a little bit further up. But hey, maybe demi-God suits you better anyway?{ Angel stare furious at Roberto who laughs before continuing. }Roberto Verona: I'm very grateful that you handed me back this company on a platter and slapped the grin off Simon de Montfort's face... but you seem to have gotten ahead of yourself. I don't owe you a damn thing, if you were guilable enough to think I'd allow you to run roughshod around here in return for absolute power you have another thing come. However... I am a generous man and I'm willing to compromise so you can have your championship match. In the main event no less.{ The crowd begin to boo as Angel smiles. }Roberto Verona: That is, the main event of the pre-show.{ Suddenly Angel's face goes blank as he stares at Verona and the crowd cheers. }Roberto Verona: But, I'll be a good sport, we'll even televise it during the intervals between the real main events. I'll even allow you latest love interest to make her highly lucrative in-ring re-debut this Sunday too. In a handicap match against Sunshine Sparkles with Kayla Richards as her partner... just so you can't say I never do you any favours. Now, if you would kindly vacate MY ring to allow the show to proceed, we need to take a step closer to finding the man who will deprive you of that belt.{ Verona's music hits again as he turns and walks away, leaving Angel furious in the ring as Ana tries to calm him down, although she too is visibly irritated as we cut to a commercial break. }----------------------------------------------------------

HEIR TO THE TRONE SEMI FINAL MATCH
Renee Pleasant vs Mike Laszlo
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Vance: The following is an Heir to the throne semi final match!
{The opening bar of I smell a massacre hits the speakers as red lights swirl around the crowd, before settling on Reñee Pleasant who stands in the middle of the stage, smirking at the crowd as a chorus of boos rises up.
Reñee shrugs and walks down the ramp with purpose, he jumps up onto the apron and enters the ring through the top and middle ropes. He approaches the referee for a moment and towers over him with a laugh, before walking away, shaking his head still laughing as the music fades out.}Alison Vance: In the ring, standing 6'7 he is the current reigning and defending IWF man of steel champion, RENEE PLEASANT
Vasco Diaz: Renee has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in IWF
Terri Monasco: Indeed, I don’t think anyone would have imagined him getting this far in the tournament...
{"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, slapping hands with some fans along the isle who outstretch their hands, Alexis by his side holding his other hand.}Alison Vance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds…MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!
{The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike lifts Alexis onto the apron. She enters the ring as Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of cheers. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction. With a smile on his face he jumps down and backs into the corner, clasping his hands together and twirling his wrists as he gets ready for the match}Terri Monasco: Mike is looking to prove that this is his time to shine...
{As the official turns and calls the bell, the match officially starting, he suddenly pauses and turns towards the ramp... Ana Valentine dressed in the tiniest black dress imaginable slowly rounds the ring before taking a seat literally ON the announce table, her back to Terri and Vasco. The official appears confused for a moment, but as Ana does not move, the match begins behind him with Laszlo getting the jump on Renee firing off shots non-stop to try and knock the big man off his feet...} Vasco Diaz: What is Ana doing out here!?
Terri Monasco: Dressed like that... Looking to earn Angel some money I’d presume...
Vasco Diaz: Careful Terri, she’ll hear you...

The referee turns and approaches the apron, Ana leans over the rope and her chest rests against the top rope, drawing the Ref’s eye as she makes a show of whispering something to her. The official tries to pull his focus back and tell her to get down, but she continues to distract him.... As she does so, the figure jumps the barrier and rolls into the ring, pulling a baseball bat from behind his back he smashes the end of it into the back of Renee Pleasant’s head!

Terri Monasco: And once again his advancement is in part, thanks to Angel and his gang....
