SACRIFICE RE-MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
Cliff Clinton vs Judas Aliah
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Fair Field, New Mexico and weighing in at three hundred and thirty pounds. He is Cliff "The Crusher" Clinton!
{"Sober by Tool begins to play as the arena goes black and then is overtaken by an eerie 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 himself. Members of the crowed 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 gCliffs around the arena.}Alison Valance: Introducing his opponent, hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana and weighing in at three hundred pounds; “the Truth” … Judas Aliah!
{A spotlight falls from the ceiling as "In the Air Tonight" begins to play. Out from the curtain steps Judas, who scowls at the audience with disdain. He stretches his arms out to his sides and looks up into the spotlight before walking towards the ring, ignoring the taunts from the audience.}Terri Morasco: These two here fought to a double count-out last week on Sacrifice, Vasco, and tonight they’re looking to finish what they’d started!
Vasco Dias: You know, ‘fought’ is the operative word here, Terri. Aliah and Clinton went at each other like a pair of grizzly bears and even security struggled to break them apart.
Terri Morasco: It seems like a monumental job tonight for the referee, so lets kick this Pay-Per-View off, partner!
{The bell rings and the pair of giants waste little time in making their intentions known. Aliah runs forward and catches Cliff with a huge clothesline; obviously catching the big man off-guard with his quick and immediate offense. Clinton slowly gets back to his feet, only to get caught with a direct right, followed by a stiff left, and another right! Dazed and confused against the ropes, Clinton is unable to stop Judas as he pulls him up and sends him soaring across the ring and into the ropes. Clinton rebounds as Judas waits patiently against the far ropes. Clinton, with a full head of steam, throws his arms up in front of his face as Judas dashes forward – drilling him with Lust!}Terri Morasco: There’s that running mafia kick again, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: It looks like Clinton managed to block most of the kick though, lucky for him. {Aliah follows up the kick with a quick pinfall attempt …
one …
two …
Kick Out!
Judas smiles and shoves Cliff back to the mat, driving his forearm into the nose and cheek of his opponent and going for another pin.
one …
Tw … KICK OUT!
He goes for the pin for a third time, grinding his forearm in harder.
one ...
KICK OUT!
Judas wastes little time, mounting Clinton and grabbing a fistful of hair before raining down haymakers into the Crusher’s face. The referee grabs hold of Judas by the shirt, struggling to pull him off, but Judas manages to land a few more punches before shrugging off the referee and getting back to his feet.}Vasco Dias: Judas looks like a man possessed out there! He’s been going hard since the bell rang.
Terri Morasco: It looks like he’s been thinking about this rematch since last week, Vasco.{Aliah reaches down, grabbing another handful of Clinton’s hair, and pulls him back to his feet. Cliff slaps down Judas’ hand and connects with a couple of quick rights of his own. Before Cliff can mount much of an offense, Aliah drives a knee deep into his midsection midsection and bringing the assault to a quick stop. Aliah straightens Clinton up before lifting and dropping him with a sidewalk slam that shakes the ring. Quickly back to his feet, Aliah bounces off the ropes, returning with a huge knee drop, driving the point of his knee into the forehead of Clinton! Judas reaches down and hauls Clinton up to his feet and drives his shoulder into Cliff’s belly, driving him backwards into the corner. Cliff’s back is driven into the turnbuckles and Judas drives that shoulder a few more times for good measure. Aliah moves out of the corner and crosses to the opposite side of the ring. He measures Clinton and taps his right leg as though signaling for Lust again before sprinting towards Clinton. At the last second, the Crusher moves out of the way of the kick, Judas hitting nothing but turnbuckle. Cliff quickly grabs hold of Judas and locks in a cobra clutch before lifting him up and sending him backwards over his head with a German suplex!}
Terri Morasco: Cliff Dive!
Vasco Dias: Out of nowhere!
{Cliff goes for the cover …
one …
two …
Judas kicks out cleanly and struggles back to his feet where he meets Cliff. The pair square off and Judas goes for a haymaker that Clinton dodges, catching him with a quick roll-up …
one …
two …
KICK OUT!
Aliah gets to his feet once more, resting in a corner as he realizes he almost lost the match right then and there.}
Vasco Dias: You can't sleep on Cliff Clinton, when you think you have him right where you want him, he flips the switch!
Terri Morasco: I'm sure Judas will be a bit more careful moving forward, he almost lost it right there.
{Cliff uses the ropes and gets back to his feet. Judas moves in and pounds on him with a huge right hand, followed by a left, and he goes for another right, but Clinton blocks it! Cliff with a right of his own, left, right, left, right, left! He has Aliah on glass knees in the center of the ring. Clinton goes into the ropes and Aliah tries to hit him with a clothesline, but Cliff ducks under it! Judas turns around and eats boots, as Cliff catches him with a HUGE standing big boot. Clinton, feeling the momentum turn into his favor, bounces to his feet and hits the ropes. He comes back, falling forehead with a well-placed fist drop, causing Aliah to roll over in pain. Clinton grabs a hold of the big man and manages to pull him upright, noting the smile on Aliah’s face and trying to slap it off. He then goes to send Aliah into the corner, but Judas reverses it, causing Cliff to crash into the turnbuckle. Aliah runs in for a clothesline in the corner, but Cliff moves out of the way, causing Aliah to eat turnbuckle.}
Vasco Dias: Cliff seems to be rolling now, keeping the momentum in his favor. One step ahead of Judas.
{Cliff quickly moves in, rocking Aliah with strong elbows to the head. The referee tries to break it up, but Cliff is teeing off with elbow after elbow, as Aliah tries to block them. The referee gets to four on his count before Clinton backs out of the corner. Aliah stumbles out and Clinton launches himself, catching Aliah with a huge flying shoulderblock! Judas is down on his back as Cliff wastes little time as he pulls Aliah up right up and sends Judas into the corner via an Irish whip. Cliff charges in and connects with a solid clothesline in the corner, causing Aliah to fall to his knees, clutching onto the ropes.}
Vasco Dias: Cliff has that look in his eye, I think he's going to go for the kill here, Terri.
Terri Morasco: He's ready to put the Truth away!
{Cliff pulls Judas up, moving him to the center of the ring. He kicks the big man in the midsection, doubling him over, and placing his head between his legs in position for the Cliff Bomb! He lifts Aliah up but Judas struggles manages to wrest himself out of Cliffs hands before shoving him backwards into the corner. He follows Clinton in, nailing him with Lust once more and catching him before he can fall out of the corner. Judas spins Cliff around and lifts him into a seated position on the top rope before bending him backwards and setting him up for Reality. Judas, a sick smile on his face, drives Cliff down to the matt with the neckbreaker and immediately goes for the pin …

Alexis swallows hard but then draws herself up to her full height... Ana smiles in that dry sarcastic way and sighs, shaking her head she runs a finger down Alexis’ cheek, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear carefully.}Ana Valentine: Sweet, Little, Alexis... I hoped it wouldn’t come to his...
{Alexis goes to say something but Ana places a finger over her lips and shakes her head.}Ana Valentine: Last week... I went down to that ring and I handed Mike his place in the final... I hand selected our victor for this tournament and he didn’t even have to break a sweat....
{Alexis draws her shoulders back, clearly annoyed but Ana simply smiles again, pulling her hand back from Alexis’ lips, Ana’s face turns angry... Mean...}Ana Valentine: And how do you repay me?! Do you come to me and thank me for the gifts God has bestowed upon you and your.... love? NO!
{Ana lunges forward, yelling the final word and Alexis backs up, she comes to an abrupt stop though and glances back... Her eyes widen in fear as a grinning Bob Pooler stares down at her... He raises a hand and strokes her hair.. She tries to shake him off but Ana has cleared the space between them now, forcing Alexis to press her back against Pooler.}Ana Valentine: Instead... I hear whispers of a budding friendship between you and that.... Babylonian Whore Amber! How do you think that looks Alexis?! HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL?!
{Ana screams the last sentence into Alexis’ face... Ana pants heavily as Bob grabs Alexis by both shoulders, holding her in place... Ana appears to calm a little, she brushes her hair back and steps that last inch closer to Alexis, practically touching noses.}Ana Valentine: God is all about forgiveness Alexis... We will give you one last chance to choose your loyalties... One final moment to choose between salvation... And destruction... But don’t take too long little Lexie... Your goddess grows inpatient...
{With those last words, Ana places the brush of a kiss on Alexis’ lips... Ana then turns away, laughing wildly as Pooler slams Alexis face first into the wall, releasing her with some impact, before chuckling himself, following Ana down the hall... As Ana reaches the corner, she looks back at Alexis... Whose hand is over her mouth, catching the dribble of blood from her busted lip.
Ana bows her head and stares up at Alexis from downcast eyes before whispering....}Ana Valentine: Hallelujah

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.

{Attention is drawn backstage where a group of security guards are pulling Amber Richards away down the hall. Aside the security guards stands Kayla Richards who is yelling obscenities and threats high above the noise and ruckus.
And beside her, stands Ana Valentine, who has a touch of blood in the corner of her mouth, but it laughing loudly. The laughter appears to enrage Amber further and she pushes through the line of security, only to be grabbed around the waist by Alex Jones, who pulls her back}Alex Jones: Amber! Stop! She’s not worth it!
Amber Richards: I’ll kill her! I swear! Let me GO!

Terri Monasco: In case you’re wondering what you missed during the beer and car commercial... We have some footage for you..
Vasco Diaz: Warning.. Sunshine Sparkles fans... Look away now!
DURING THE BREAK{Ana Valentine and Kayla Richards stand just backstage of the curtain. Dressed in full ring gear, Kayla bops around with an excited energy whilst Ana stands with a perfect calm, half smirking. She places a hand on Kayla’s shoulder and she calms down, before glancing up and suddenly her shoulders pull back.
Amber Richards approaches the pair, her face hot and lie thunder as she bounds towards them. Behind her Alex Jones keeps his distance but has a watchful eye on the situation as Amber steps right up into Ana’s face.}Amber Richards: You BITCH! What the hell is your problem?
{Ana blinks slowly and smiles, placing a hand on Amber’s shoulder she pushes her back slightly, creating some distance. Kayla stands beside her mentor ready to move at a moment’s notice.}Ana Valentine: I didn’t ask to be placed in the ring with your mentally challenged hanger-on Amber... My sights are set more firmly on those foolish enough to question my power...
Amber Richards: POWER?! You Use people... You USED Alex and you used me and now you’re using Pooler to do the dirty work you are too WEAK to do....
Ana Valentine: Foolish girl, do not mistake my disdain for your... counterpart for weakness. I simply had no desire to sully myself with his touch...
{Amber reacts without thinking, striking Ana hard across the face and drawing blood. Kayla jumps forward and slams a knee hard into Amber’s gut. Amber takes a few steps back. Kayla moves to attack but Ana grabs her wrist pulling her back and she immediately relents.}Ana Valentine: Clearly, you have not learned your lesson...
Amber Richards: You want me.. Come at me! Leave the people I love out of this!!
{Ana laughs and Amber moves to strike her again, but this time Alex catches her hand, stopping her from actually hitting Ana, who raises a brow at the movement.}Ana Valentine: I was simply going to allow Kayla the ring experience with your dear little friend... But now Amber, you have forced my hand... An example will be made of her and every last drop of blood spilt... Is on your hands...
{Amber rushes Ana, slamming her against the wall in rage as security descend, pulling Amber away and the scene descends into that we saw coming off the commercial break...}Vasco Diaz: I have to say... I am a little frightened for Sunny right now...

As the fans boo wildly, Ana stops and smirks, looking out over the crowd before she reaches the ring steps and takes a knee, holding her hands in front of her in a prayer position, she then stands.
Ana leaps up onto the ring apron and as the song blasts into a harder part, Ana throws her arms out and lets out a scream before Kayla jumps up beside her and holds the ropes open for Ana before then getting into the ring.}Vasco Diaz: Something about this partnership terrifies and excites me...
Terri Monasco: Ugh, you’re a pig...
Vasco Diaz: What!? I didn’t say anything!
Terri Monasco: Uh huh....
{Sunny jumps forward and treies to hug Ana, but she is met with a igh hook that seems to pack a little more punch than it should... A flash of silver reveals Ana is packing some brass knuckles as Sunny hits the canvas flat out. The official turns to check on Sunny and Ana laughs... Looking to Kayla she nods slowly.
Kayla jumps forward and grabs the official around the waist, springboarding off the ropes she then tosses the officialout to ringside, colliding her with the barrier, knocking her out cold.... Kayla bounds through the ropes and simply sits on the barrier, swinging her legs, watching to make sure the referee stays down...}Vasco Diaz: They can’t get away with this!
Terri Monasco: Are you going to stop them?
{Ana bends forward on one knee and screams at Sunny to get up, slowly and with little balance.. Sunny gets to her feet.

The crowd erupts in boos as Ana throws her foots across the throat of the bleeding girl, Sunny’s hands graps and tap desperately at Ana’s boot as the life is very literally choked from her. Ana grabs the top rope and pulls herself up, bearing down her full weight on Sunny’s throat... Just as Sunny’s eyes start to roll and it looks as though she is going to pass out... Ana pulls away and laughs...}Ana Valentine: No no Sunny... Playtime isn’t over yet..
Vasco Diaz: I’m not sure we want to know what that means....
{Ana walks across the ring and yells something at Kayla, who disappears under the ring for a moment, when she comes back out, she holds two weapons tight in her hands. As she passes the official, she begin to stir and Kayla stomps down hard on her head, knocking her back out, before rolling her first selection into the ring.
A baseball bat, tipped with barbed wire. Ana leans down and scoops it up, she touches a finger to the barbing and pulls and ‘Ouchie’ face to mock the crowd before turning to Sunny. Sunny’s eyes widen at the sight approaching her but the blood and oxygen loss leave her too weak to do anymore than begin to crawl away...
As Sunny crawls, Ana leans back and then slams the bat down onto Sunny’s back... Sunny screams at the metal pricks into her skin, tearing the flesh to pieces. Hot, fresh blood drips onto the white canvas as Sunny stumbles and falls on her face, screaming and begging for her to stop.}Terri Monasco: Oh god... I... I can’t watch!
Vasco Diaz: Terri? Terri...?
{Terri Monasco actually leaves her seat and turns her back to the ring. Ana glances up and watches this happen, with a small smile she grabs Sunshine by the hair and tosses her out of the ring. Ana then slides out of the ring, dragging the blood covered bat with her.
Ana approaches the announce table and slams Sunny face first down onto it, calling out Terri’s name. When Terri fails to turn around, Ana slams the bat into the shoulder of Sunny, ripping her skin apart, Sunny no longer capable of screaming makes a blood curdling noise. But Monasco shakes her head, not wanting to turn around.
Ana tuts and then calls her again, this time... When Terri fails to turn around, Ana points the bat at Vasco and swings from his face, stopping just as the wire scratches his cheek and draws blood, the fearful scream that escapes Vasco causes Terri to turn around. Ana releases Sunny to point at Terri.}Ana Valentine: You are paid to watch. Sit the FUCK down and watch...
{As Terri sits down, Ana tosses the bat to the side and pulls Sunny up once more, slamming her face down onto the announcers table, she calls for Kayla who approaches with her second weapon of choice... A sledgehammer!
Ana then relays an instruction to Kayla, who nods a sick smile crossing her face as she grabs Sunny’s arm and places her hand palm down right under Terri’s nose... Kayla splays the fingers on Sunny’s hand wide and then steps back, as Ana slams the sledgehammer down, smashing at least three of Sunny’s fingers... This time, Sunny does scream and the sound is ear splitting.
As this happens, security rushes the ring and Ana jumps back, dropping the sledgehammer she smiles at the security staff and nods, backing away... As Ana backs up around the ring, holding her hands up, she laughs... Medics rush past her to check on the now out cold Sunshine Sparkles.}Terri Monasco: I....
Vasco Diaz: What are Ana Valentine and the self proclaimed ‘GOD’ about to unleash on IWF...? If this is only the beginning... I am sure many of us are hopeful we wont have to see the end....
{As the medics care to Sunny, Kayla reaches Ana’s side and they both laugh, Ana grabs Kayla’s wrist and pushes her arms up, as the both make the sign of ‘X’ over their head, backing up the ramp....
As they begin to back up, Kyle Mason goes running past the pair, he pauses and turns back. He walks up to Ana Valentine and gets right in her face... Ana simply laughs... For a moment, Mason looks as though he is going to lose it - but instead he turns and runs to be by Sunny's side.
Seduce and Destroy – Otep hits and when they reach the stage... Ana bends down to one knee... and prays. As she stays in this position, Mason is shown yelling at the medics to help Sunny, who lies motionless on a stretcher, a mask of blood covering her face.}----------------------------------------------------------

Alison Vance: The following match is the Heiress to the throne final!. The winner will become the number one contender for the IWF Diamonds Championship
{Your ordinary entrance, try not to make it too long} Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. 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 while waiting for her opponent to arrive.}Alison Vance: Standing in the ring, from from Buenos Aires, Argentina, she is the former and longest reigning IWF Ruby Champion in history, weighing in at 127 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

Terri Morasco: And she did it Vasco, she handed the belt over and to me that shows confidence
Vasco Dias: Mercedes needs to get past Amber and then beat the champion who is in the ring with them tonight to realize her dream of being the third woman in IWF's history to win both the womens titles...
{"Cry little sister" by Seasons after slowly comes on the PA system, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring, she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out}Alison Vance: Now standing in the ring, she is the former IWF Ruby and Diamonds champion, the first woman to hold both titles in IWF, standing 5'7 from Tampa Bay Florida by way of Norwich England, The blood diamond...AMMMMBBEERRRR RIIICCCHHHAAARRRDDDSSS
Vasco Dias: Amber looks focused Terri...even with all the trouble from outside influences...

HEIR TO THE THRONE FINALS
SINGLES MATCH
Mike Laszlo vs Xavier Cross
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: This match has been one month in the making. Mike Laszlo and Xavier Cross have fought through hellfire and brimstone to be here tonight, the last two men in the Heir to the Throne tournament. One of these two men will go on to face the IWF Imperial, or self proclaimed World Champion, the man formerly known as Angel Blake now referring to himself as God.
Terri Morasco: That’s one long name.
Vasco Dias: I don’t care who he thinks he is, he isn’t my god.
Terri Morasco: Couldn’t agree with you more and personally I don’t care who wins this match as long as either one of them take that belt off of Angel.
Vasco Dias: I’m with you there.
{ "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 Valance: 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. }Vasco Dias: Mike Laszlo has been one of the few constants in IWF. He’s been here since day one, he’s scratched and clawed his way to several title opportunities, managing to bring home the Man of Steel title in a match against Sephiroth Du Lac.
Terri Morasco: Since then he’s been looking to break through that glass ceiling and finally grab what he feels is his destiny by the horns. Tonight could be the beginning of the end of that journey.
Vasco Dias: It’s truly been an inspirational story watching Mike Laszlo overcome great personal trials and tribulations, he’d make an excellent face of IWF.
{ The intro of "Immortal" starts playing, as smoke starts to well up at the top of the stage. When the drums and guitar kick in, Xavier pops out of the floor, hair dripping wet. He looks around in a daze for a moment, looking towards the crowd getting a mixed reaction. He takes a few steps forward, taking a deep inhale before marching down to the ring, slamming his hand onto his chest. }Alison Valance: "Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, coming to you from Lexington, Virginia....He stands at Six Feet...three inches, weighing in at Two-Hundred, and Thirty One pounds. Xavier.......CROOOOOSSSS!"
{ Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesn’t enter through the apron but climbs the outside of the turnbuckle, standing tall as he looks around the arena a grin on his face. He slaps his chest three times before hopping into the ring. He kisses his middle and index finger, pointing them to the sky, before looking down, crossing each wrist to make an X, he slowly raises his arms up. Each post shoots a pyro cannon perpendicular to each other, creating a flaming X for a moment. Xavier moves to the corner, pulling himself on top of the turnbuckle, adjusting the tape on his wrists, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin. }Vasco Dias: Another man that is no stranger to hard work and dedication is Xavier Cross. The first IWF Heavy Weight Champion, the first man to hold any belt in IWF twice, he’s been teetering on the bring of main event status since day one.
Terri Morasco: Xavier Cross was taken out several months ago by Spike Kane[/b] only to return at Angel’s side but it appeared that was all a ruse to propel himself back into the spot light.
Vasco Dias: I’ve got no problem with a man doing what has to be done to succeed and succeed is what Xavier Cross has done here in IWF which is why it’s him in that ring with Mike Laszlo and not someone else.
Terri Morasco: Both men are extremely deserving of this shot.
{ Both men move out of their corners as the bell sounds. They slowly move to the center of the ring where they exchange hand shakes. }Vasco Dias: A rare show of sportsmanship.
Terri Morasco: That is what wrestling used to be about.
{ They back off and begin to dance around each other, sizing the other one up. The two of them move in and tie up in the middle of the ring.

{ The two of them are right up to their feet and lock up. Laszlo pushes Cross into the corner but Cross reverse him into the corner and hits a gut kick. Cross lunges with a clothes line but Laszlo moves and Cross hits the turn buckles.

Cross spins around and swings for the fences but Laszlo takes him over with a hip toss. Cross springs right back to his feet and the two of them charge each other for a double clothes line! }Vasco Dias: This is amazing back and forth action we’re seeing from two of the top wrestlers in the industry today.
Terri Morasco: I’m just waiting for the big move that’s going to give one of these men the advantage.
{ Both of them get to their feet and Cross tries to lock up with Laszlo but Laszlo swings behind Cross and pulls him down into back slide pin. ONE! KICK OUT! They both get up and Cross hits a quick kick to the mid section and follows up with the BST combo that culminates with standing shooting star press into a pin ONE!
