SEGMANT
”Kneel before GOD”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Sacrifice kicks off to a roaring crowd, all of whom are holding up signs as the pyro goes off along the tron and down the ramp to the ring. }Vasco Dias: Welcome fans to another perfect edition of Monday Night Sacrifice!
{ Before he can continue the lights and music suddenly drop off as pyro erupts from the ring posts and “Sail” by Devildriver hits the PA. }Vasco Dias: Looks like we’ll be kicking off the show with God live and in person.
Terri Morasco: Wonderful, you know Vasco I really don’t care-
{ She doesn’t get to continue her impure thought as her mic is cut off as GOD emerges from behind the curtains with Ana Valentine by his side. The crowd boos as GOD smiles, the IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP strapped tightly around his waist. GOD and Ana make their way down the ramp, the Brothers Black suddenly emerging from behind the curtain as well as Bob Pooler and the Perfect Weapon Mason St Croix. }Vasco Dias: GOD as well as the Age of X are in the building and they look like they mean business.
{ GOD walks up the steps and climbs into the ring, he holds the ropes for his GODDESS and she climbs in too. The Age of X surround the ring as the music dies down and without the need of a microphone, GOD addresses the crowd. } GOD: MIKE LASZLO!
{ His voice booms through the arena. }GOD: Tonight your will and your resolve will be tested when you step into the ring against the greatest wrestler to ever live. A man beyond other men. A man who has evolved to become GOD! Tonight you step into the ring with me, with MY GODDESS! You put your very life on the line just to prove that you’re not afraid of me…
{ Slowly he shakes his head. }GOD: If I wanted you to fear me, Michael, you would be trembling on your knees before me begging me to stop. I don’t want your fear; I want the people to see that GOD is fair and forgiving by giving you the chance to strike me down.
{ The crowd pops for that. }GOD: But I promise Michael when this is all said and done you will KNEEL BEFORE GOD!
{ His voice would normally echo throughout the arena but he is quickly cutoff by the lights going out and a sudden burst of static hitting the screen. The words of the IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP challenger are the words that echo throughout the arena. }Mike Laszlo: You don’t understand what this match means to me.
{ The screen abruptly breaks to a nice little highlight package as Mike’s words narrate. }Mike Laszlo: All of this time I’ve put on a show for the people, never once thinking about myself or the sacrifices that needed to be made.
{ The crowd pops but the video changes to all of the instances in which Mike has come so close, only to fail, or as the critics say…choke. }Mike Laszlo: Time after time I’ve been as close as a person can be without the taste of success. Time after time I failed when everyone expected me to succeed. Then came this…
{ On cue we cut back to last month’s Lineage Pay Per View: }{ Mike staggers to his feet and begs Cross to stand up, he does and Mike spins him around and lifts him up for MALICIOUS INTENT! Laszlo covers and ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Vasco Dias: Mike Laszlo has done it! He’s won the Heir to the Throne and a shot at Angel next month!
Terri Morasco: That match was awesome! Cross and Laszlo put on a real show tonight and I think proved that IWF is truly the best wrestling in the world!
Vasco Dias: Absolutely! And Mike Laszlo may very well be the best in the world!
Mike Laszlo: The best in the world. I heard those words while watching that match back. I find myself with a purpose.
{ The sound of abrupt static hits as “Cult of Personality” blares over the speakers. The lights comeback on as Mike walks out onto the stage…alone. }Mike Laszlo: It’s funny how things work Angel. You proclaim yourself a God and make some vital threats when you’re standing in that ring, surrounded by the mounting number of brainwashed idiots.
{ The rest of the Age of X seem upset as God simply smiles. }Mike Laszlo: All these idol threats about fear and bowing down to you, do you really think that you’re that powerful? Do you think you have what it takes to get in the psyche of me?
{ Mike laughs as God stands in the ring with his arms folded. }Mike Laszlo: You walk around with your skank and your henchman and you provoke fear in all. You figure that there’s safety in numbers. How did that work for that bitch Frank Black? How’s your face, I couldn’t tell if the dent is your country genetics or the mark left from my knee.
{ Frank looks upset. }Mike Laszlo: You don’t get it Angel…I don’t now, nor will I ever fear you. I don’t care how many bodyguards you have. There’s always an equalizer.
{ Mike motions to the back and out comes Alexis with a pair of Martial Arts striking sticks. }Mike Laszlo: Let’s see how bad you are when I hit you in the face with one of these!
{ The crowd pops as Mike drops the microphone and heads down the ramp with a purpose. }God: Security!
{ The crowd boos as security floods the space between Mike and the ring. }GOD: Your GOD commands you to EJECT THIS MAN FROM THE BUILDING!
{ The crowd boos as security forcefully starts escorting Mike back up the ramp as Alexis looks on. }GOD: Fear not ladies and gentlemen, our match will go on…AS A HANDICAP MATCH! Alexis, you will pay for the sins of your spouse. I will enjoy every minute of it. Michael, her blood…is on your hands.
{ “Sail” hits again as Mike looks over his shoulder as security escorts him through the curtain. Alexis looks on terrified at what has now become a grave situation. }----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Bob Pooler 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: Kyle Mason has been on a tear getting some big wins but here he is facing former Cruiserweight Champion Bob Pooler...
Terri Morasco: And from what I hear Bob may be the next challenger for the Man of steel belt...
{The sound of a toy being wound just before ‘Blah blah blablah’ hits the PA. Seconds later, the drum beat hits and “Get Jinxed” blasts forth throughout the arena. Pooler walks out onto the stage sporting a smirk and soaks in the mixed reaction before making his way down towards the ring.}Alison Vance: Making his way to the ring; from Manchester, New Hampshire; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-eight pounds … Bob … POOOOOLER!
{Pooler slides into the ring and makes his way back to his feet. He walks to the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle and plays to the crowd. He drops back down to the ring and grabs hold of the ropes, tugging down on them and taking a moment to stretch before the match can begin.}Vasco Dias: Great to see Bob Pooler back in the ring more regularly...
Terri Morasco: Bob was rising up the ranks before his...incarceration...
{The bell rings and Bob and Kyle circle one another, Kyle fakes in and goes for a low kick, Bob moves back on the balls of his feet and then goes in for a low kick of his own, Kyle springs back and smirks as both men feel each other out. They go to lock up, Kyle ducks under behind Bob, Bob gets to the ropes causing the break, both men move around each other again sizing each other up. They lock up again and Mason ducks and shoots in pushing Bob back against the ropes, Bob hooks his leg causing the break, Kyle stands up and as he moves back Bob pokes him in the eye causing the fans to Boo, Bob goes right on the attack with a european uppercut sending Kyle down, Kyle sits up and Bob leaps forward with a hard shining wizard.}Terri Morasco: Mason was pushing Pooler around and then Bob took the cheap shot...
Vasco Dias: You call it cheap I call it sound strategy
{Kyle gets to his feet and Pooler grabs him going for a urinage, Kyle hits Pooler with an elbow and spins away, he hits a few hard kicks to poolers chest. Mason keeps laying them in before Pooler gets kicked so hard he falls back onto his back. Mason pulls Pooler up and picks him up onto his shoulders into a firemans carry spun into a wheelbarrow facebuster, Pooler bounces off the mat, Mason goes for the cover 1.....2....Pooler kicks out. Mason gets to his feet and pulls Pooler up whipping him into the corner he pulls him up and sets him up for the Spiked Punch (top rope brainbuster), he picks Pooler up and hits it 1....2....Pooler kicks out again.}Vasco Dias: Pooler kicks out just....that was close!
{Mason grabs Pooler and goes for the quickening, as he goes to pull pooler facedown pooler grabs the ropes causing mason to slam himself to the mat bouncing the back of his head. Mason gets up and eats the Dr teeth superkick from Pooler sending him down. Pooler sits in the corner preparing for his spear he calls the high velocity hug, Mason gets up, Pooler runs in Mason leapfrogs over Pooler, Pooler spins and kicks Mason in the stomach, he goes for the Angels wings, he picks him up, Mason kicks his legs and lands on his feet before throwing Pooler over his back, Pooler gets caught in the quickening!(sister abigal), Mason pins 1....2.....3 }----------------------------------------------------------

Tiffany Jones: Hey, guys, this is Tiffany Jones, backstage again. I'm here getting all the hottest updates here on the IWF App. All you have to do is download it for free on your iPhone or Android device and you'll never miss the next big news story! You'll be connected 24-
Off-Camera: -Next big story? You don't have to download an app to know what the next big story is.
{ Walking into view is John Tolly, adorned in a well-tailored suit. He snaps the microphone out of Tiffany's hand and, with a smug look, addresses the camera. }John Tolly: You don't need any App to find out what the next big story is. You're looking at the next big story and the next Vindictus Champion...I....
{ A chuckling voice off-camera is barely heard over the microphone. }John Tolly: Hey, you! What the hell is so funny?
Off-Camera: Haha. Nothing.
John Tolly: Do I look stupid to you? That stupid, little, smirk doesn't look like nothing.
Off-Camera: Haha. Don't worry about it. It's nothing.
John Tolly: No, I don't think it is! Why don't you be a real man and tell me to my face what you think is so god-damn funny? Huh, evil-guy?
{ The laughing voice slowly comes into the frame. It's Kevin Evel, covered in his trademark fur coat and surrounded by a thick cloud of cigar smoke. He moves slow, but eventually he stands nose-to-nose to Tolly. They stare daggers into each other. }Kevin Evel: Okay, you got me. I think you're funny as hell.
John Tolly: Is that so, Kevin? Would you think it'll be funny if I shoved that cigar down your throat?
Kevin Evel: Haha. Probably.
John Tolly: Laugh one more time... I dare you...
{ Tolly reaches out and grabs Evel by the collar of his coat. }Kevin Evel: Wait! Wait! Wait! Hold on! You're a funny guy, but I'm not here to start a fight with you. No, I mean, we're actually a tag team later on tonight, so no fighting. Not today. You had me giggly there because you actually think you can take the Vindictus title from KLB.
John Tolly: What the hell do you know, Evel?
Kevin Evel: I know you can beat KLB. You can be the next Vindictus Champion, but it's laughable if you think you're going to get anywhere close to it with your empty threats and in that pretty, little, suit of yours. But-
John Tolly: -Let me guess. You can help me.
Kevin Evel: In not so many words.
John Tolly: Well, listen to me and listen to me well, you 70's pimp wanna-be! I don't need your help, you want to know why? Because I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD! The REAL best in the world! I need you about as much as I need a pimple on my ass, so do me a favor tonight and stay out of my way!
{ John gives Kevin a slight nudge as he steps away from the camera's view. Evel begins to chuckle again. }----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Judas Alliah and Alioth Starre vs John Tolly and Kevin Evel
----------------------------------------------------------
{ “In Your Fur” starts to play over the loudspeakers and Kevin makes his way through the audience. A spotlight follows him, as an isle opens up through the sea of fans. He leaps the barricade and slides into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle, smirks, and takes a long drag of his cigar. The audience showers him in boos and disdain, all of which seem to make his smile a little wider.
Blind starts up as the light flash in time with the music, pyro goes off as the are you ready hits....the words FRANCHISE flashes across the screen as John Tolly makes his way down to the ring, he sneers at the crowd as he saunters down the ramp. As he slides into the ring before posing in the ring. }Vasco Dias: I’d like to mention that all four of these men have been mentioned as possible contenders for Kristoff Bates.
Terri Morasco: All four of them bring something different to the ring and I’d personally love to Bates defend against any one of them.
Vasco Dias: Judas has been on a tear since arriving, though Kevin Evel managed to steal a win from him last week, Starre has been the talk of the locker room and John Tolly is literally a ball of potential.
Terri Morasco: IWF’s talent initiative has definitely given us a bright new future.
{ 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.
As the lights dim, a spotlight in the shape of an 'A' within a circle, pierces the darkness and illuminates the stage. As the music haunts the arena, Alioth Starre emerges. The lights, like the stars of the cosmos swirl and twinkle throughout the arena, following him, and cascading around as if it were the universe itself contained within the arena. His hands behind his back, his eyes to the crowd, and his face stretched with a wry smile as he then approaches the ring, parting from his starting stance. Rolling inside, he stands back up, his arms stretched to catch the ropes he entered underneath from and steps up onto the first rope, leaning over as he interacts with the crowd. }Vasco Dias: You’ve got to wonder how these men are going to work together knowing that their all competing for points in the power rankings as well as a shot at the Invictus Championship possibly hanging over their heads.
Terri Morasco: Good question. I’d like to imagine they will atleast work together long enough to earn some points but you never know.
{ Tolly informs Kevin he will be starting things off and Kevin half laughs and obliges. Tolly turns to see the mountain of a man that is Judas Alliah waiting for him. }Vasco Dias: Tolly is taking the lead for his team, not sure that was a good idea.
Terri Morasco: Tolly is ring vet who has faced challenges like Judas Alliah.
Vasco Dias: I’m sure he likes to think so but if you made it to IWF then you’ve made it with some of the best wrestlers on the planet.
{ The bell sounds and Tolly runs right in for Judas and tries to get under the clothes line attempt but Judas adjust and drives an elbow down into the spine of Tolly. John hits the mat and tries to get up quickly but Judas is right on him and grabs him by the shoulders and spins him around and throws him face first into the turn buckles. Starre drives an elbow into the face of Tolly that sends him stumbling back into Judas who hooks him with a full nelson and lifts him into the air and brings him down over his knee for a back breaker! }Vasco Dias: Tolly tried to use his size and speed to out maneuver Judas but that plan seemed to of backfired pretty quickly.
Terri Morasco: He needs to re think his plan of attack and maybe make a tag.
{ Judas stomps Tolly hard on the back and pulls him up off the mat. Juds pushes Tolly hard back into the corner where Starrer drives an elbow into the back of the head of John and Judas runs in with a big splash in the corner. Judas tags in Starre and then grabs Tolly and whips him like a rag doll with a belly to belly suplex. Starre comes right in with a knee drop across the chest of Tolly. Starre pulls him up and lifts him into the air for a BRAINBUSTER! Starre covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: So far Starre and Judas are working like a well oiled machine.
Terri Morasco: Where as Kevin seems completely disinterested in the match.
{ Kevin is resting his head on his hands on the top rope as Starre pulls Tolly to his feet and drop kicks him into the corner. Starre nips right up and gets a running start before hitting a Facebreaker Knee Smash! Tolly staggers out of the corner and Starre spins him around and pulls him up into the air for a pile driver! }Vasco Dias: Tolly looks out of it!
Terri Morasco: He’s already absorbed a lot of punishment.
{ Starre looks to Judas and tags him back in. Tolly starts to climb to his feet as Judas charges him and looks for a running big boot, Tolly ducks it and forward rolls to Starre’s corner and hits a drop kick that sends Starre flying off the apron. Tolly pops back up to his feet and bounces off the ropes and hits Judas with a SPEAR! Tolly turns back with the crowd getting really into his fast paced offense as he runs across the ring and goes flying through the ropes with a suicide dive right into Alioth Starre on the outside! }Vasco Dias: Starre just crashed back of his head first into the guard rails!
Terri Morasco: Tolly is mounting some serious offense but he still needs to get the fresher man in the ring.
{ Tolly rolls back in as Judas gets to his feet. Tolly runs right at him and hits a flying forearm smash that knocks Judas off balance. Tolly runs into the ropes and bounces off and connects with a leaping shoulder block. Jadas staggers as Tolly quickly climbs to the top rope and jumps off with a flying clothes line! Judas is still standing as he turns around and Tolly pops up with a Hail to the Chief superkick! }Vasco Dias: And Judas is down!
{ Starre is back to his feet and Tolly sees him and runs across the ring and leaps to the outside with the SOY CITY SPECIAL!!!! }Terri Morasco: WHAT!?
Vasco Dias: The Soy City Special, a running shooting star press to the outside!
Terri Morasco: He’s insane!
{ Tolly smirks as he gets back into the ring. He looks over to Kevin who seems like he may be interesting in a tag but Tolly laughs and says “This is how it’s done.” Tolly pulls Judas to his feet and kicks him hard in the gut doubling him over, grabs him around the neck and looks for the Champaign Dream but Judas Alliah picks him up and throws him off back first into the corner. Judas runs in with the boot to the face and Tolly staggers out of the corner MALICE! }Vasco Dias: John Tolly wasted a little too much time showing off there and he’s paying for it.
Terri Morasco: He should of tagged in Evel when he had the chance.
{ Judas turns and tags in Starre who is right on Tolly with a clothes line to the back of the head. Starre pulls him up and hits a BACKDROP DRIVER! Starre looks a little smug as he pulls Tolly up to his feet and connects with several knee lifts to the mid section over spinning him around into a release German suplex! }Vasco Dias: Tolly must be regretting not making that tag now.
{ Starre looks set to lock him into the Four Star Mary but Tolly fights hard and gets his feet free. He pulls himself to the ropes and out onto the apron. Starre goes for a running elbow and connects. Starre grabs the top rope and sling shots Tolly back into the ring. Tolly struggles to get up as Starre comes off the ropes with an elbow drop across his spine. }Terri Morasco: Tolly is on his last legs here.
{ Starre pulls him up off the mat and sends him into the ropes, Tolly comes back and gets under Starre’s clothes line attempt, Starre turns into HAIL TO THE CHIEF! Starre is down! }Vasco Dias: This is it, this is the opening he needs to tag in Kevin Evel!
Terri Morasco: The fans are on their feet.
{ Tolly is crawling toward his corner, Starre is making his way to Judas. Tolly reaches up… }Vasco Dias: Here we go!
{ Starre tags in Judas and John reaches for Kevin BUT THERE IS NO ONE THERE! Evel stands on the arena floor and laughs in Tolly’s face as Judas reaches down for him. }Vasco Dias: What the hell is he doing!?
Terri Morasco: Evil has just screwed over John Tolly!
Vasco Dias: Dammit!
{ Judas punts Tolly into the corner, lifts him up onto the top rope and hits REALITY!!! Tolly is out as Kevin walks up the ramp, still laughing. Judas covers. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Vasco Dias: Judas Alliah and Alioth Starre pick up a big win here tonight as they move closer to a possible Invictus title shot.
Terri Morasco: I’m still trying to figure out what the hell Kevin Evel’s problem is.
Vasco Dias: No idea.
{ Judas and Starre have their hands raised as Evel disappears into the back. }----------------------------------------------------------

"Stay healthy Amber. Stay healthy."

{"King of my world"(queen remix) plays as Amber Richards walks out onto the stage in a brand new "Blood Diamond" t-shirt and jeans. Amber makes her way down to the ring and runs up the steps taking a mic on her way, the music slowly dies down and Amber smiles at the fans}Vasco Dias: There she is Terri, the number one contender for the IWF Diamonds title...
Terri Morasco: And later tonight she will join us as a commentator for a match where her baby sister takes on the IWF Diamonds champion...
Amber Richards: So I think you are all suitably excited for my match with Eternity next week?. I know I am. See I finally get to jump in the ring and fight for a title that I should have never have lost. A belt that means one thing and one thing alone, that you have the right to call yourself the best female wrestler on this planet..and then..after I win it....I get to go about proving it...
Vasco Dias: Amber cocky as ever...
Terri Morasco: She's built her career on being cocky...
Amber Richards: But the first step is beating Eternity. Now I know I'm arrogant, I know I'm cocky, I know I'm very...vocal. But this is not a match where my win is a definite thing. Eternity is crazy and tough.....and she needs to stop this protective friendship thing out of her head. I don't like Eternity, she and I will never be friends, I'm in this business to be the champion and Eternity has what I want, I won the Heiress to the throne and earned this shot...and when al Is said and done....I'm walking out as the first ever two time IWF Diamonds champion....
{The lights go out and the arena is plunged into darkness and absolute silence for a few moments. Then a spotlight shines on the 2014 Heiress To The Throne and a menacing laughter surrounds Amber who stands her ground and looks around and yells "You don't scare me freak!"
Suddenly the titantron lights up and we see Eternity standing in the boiler room, the Diamonds World Championship around her waist.}Eternity: My, oh my, how much you Richards' like to talk. Clearly the mouth is the most impressive trait you girls have, isn't it? So much talk and yet so little understanding. As much as it breaks my heart to hear you say that we'll never be friends, I thought you of all people should understand that this was never about friendship. This is about the biggest rematch since Metamorphosis, only our roles have been reversed. I'm the Champion, you're the Challenger, this is your shot to return to glory and I have to protect that. I have to protect my biggest challenge yet. That's why I'm glad you're out there tonight in my match Amber, out there where I can keep an eye on you and make sure nothing happens to you before our big match on Sunday. Stay healthy, Amber. Stay healthy!
{With that the lights return to normal. Amber looks around and smirks nodding mouthing "ok...fine"}Vasco Dias: There is a long history between these two.
Terri Morasco: I'm excited Vasco, last time these two fought for a title it was the other way around and it was an amazing, physical war....

SINGLES MATCH
Mason St Croix vs Cliff Clinton
----------------------------------------------------------
{"The War Isn't Over Yet" by Eye Empire begins playing and blue and white pyro shoots out from the walkway as Mason St. Croix stares straight ahead with his eyes focus on the ring and walks at a marching pace towards the ring . Once inside Mason climbs all four turnbuckles one at a time before hoping down and taking the center of the ring where he stands at attention, his eyes never moving from the curtain as he waits for his opponent.}Terri Morasco: I'm still appalled at the way Mason St. Croix has handled himself since returning.
Vasco Dias: I thought he looked pretty impressive
Terri Morasco: During the match yes, but it was the cowardly attack afterwards that I'm talking about.
{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 cowd 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. While Cliff is crouched with his back turned Mason charges forward with a knee to the side of the head.}Terri Morasco: See? The match hasn't even started yet. This is despicable.
{The bell sounds and St. Croix begins stomping away at Clinton who's already stunned from the knee. Cliff fights back and makes it to his feet but Mason forces him into the corner and drives a shoulder into his midsection. Mason hoists Cliff up and sets him on the top rope and follows him up. He hooks the head looking for a superplex but Cliff shoves him off and then hits a double axe handle that draws a pop from the crowd and puts St. Croix on the mat. Clinton hits the ropes and bounces off before hitting a big leg drop across the chest of the former IWF Heavyweight Champion.}Vasco Dias: Cliff Clinton came to fight Terri!
{Cliff rolls Mason over onto his stomach and applies a waist-lock and tosses Mason backward with a deadlift German Suplex. Cliff keeps his fingers locked and goes for a second but St. Croix wants no part of it and hits a few quick back elbow shots that force Clinton to break his grasp and Mason quickly rolls out to the floor to try and regroup. Cliff reaches over the ropes and tries to grab Mason but Mason grabs his foot and pulls him out to the floor. The two men begin trading rights and lefts on the floor right in front of the announcers. }Terri Morasco: They're fighting right in front of us Vasco, I think some sweat flew in my mouth.
Vasco Dias: I'm sure Xavier Cross would have a response to that but I'm classier than that.
{Mason blocks an upper cutand grabs Cliff by the arm, whipping him into the ring steps. The ref's count is up to 6 and Mason rolls back into the ring to break it. Cliss is back to his feet and catches Mason as he rolls back out to the floor and picks him up in a Gorilla Press and tosses him over the top rope and into the ring bringing the crowd to their feet with the impressive display of strength. Mason bounces into the ring from the toss and Cliff follows him in and helps Mason to his feet. CLinton latches onto St. Croix's throat looking for a Chokeslam but Mason blocks it with a nasty right hook to the body then a left hook to the other side of his abdomen then follows that up with a slashing right elbow that catches Cliff in the temple staggering him and completing the St. Croix Combo. Mason hits the ropes and then delivers Warpath on a dazed Cliff Clinton.}Terri Morasco: What a display of strength by Mason, that might have turned the tide in his favor.
Vasco Dias: Cliff was in control before that but the impact of that spinebuster shook the ring.
{St. Croix gets to his feet and waits for Clinton to stand when the crowd begins to cheer as Kyle Mason makes his way towards the ring carrying big white cards with numbers on them. He holds up a 9 as he approaches the ring.}Terri Morasco: What is he doing?
Vasco Dias: I believe he's scoring Mason St. Croix. A 9 is pretty good.
{Mason walks towards the ropes and tries to swat at Kyle's card but he just moves it out of the way and holds up a 0 for the failed attempt. St. Croix begins shouting at him to which Kyle holds up a 2. The frustration on the face of Mason St. Croix grows and the fans eat it up. The distraction from Kyle has allowed Cliff to recover and he comes up behind Mason and spins him around and kicks him in the gut before attempting The Cliff Hanger but St. Croix slides off his shoulders and and hooks him up looking for The Ranger's Way but Kyle jumps on the apron with one of his cards with an 8 on it and St. Croix lets Cliff go and charges at Kyle who hops down off the apron. Clinton hooks St. Croix from behind and goes for an inverted DDT but Mason spins around lifts him in the air and drops him with The Ranger's Way.}Vasco Dias: Ranger's Way! It's over.
Terri Morasco: Clinton still has a chance to kick out.
Vasco Dias: No one else has, this bum won't.
{Mason covers, locking his eyes on the disappointed face of Kyle Mason as the ref counts 1…2…3!}Terri Morasco: St. Croix wins! And Kyle Mason is holding up a 10 as he backs up the ramp.
{Mason rolls out of the ring and charges up the ramp but Kyle is through the curtains before he can catch him.}----------------------------------------------------------
MAN OF STEEL MATCH
Jake “The Ace” Conway vs Xavier Cross
----------------------------------------------------------
{ 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. 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: Xavier Cross vs Jake Conway, no love lost between these two.
Terri Morasco: I think it’s fair to say they both hate each other, wouldn’t you agree Mr Verona?
Roberto Verona: I don’t think it’s that big of a secret that a lot of people hate Xavier Cross. He’s clearly a very hard man to get along with.
Vasco Dias: I would imagine at least some of the hatred bubbling between him and the Ace as well as yourself and Cross is partially to do with how he perceives you.
Roberto Verona: Exactly, his perception is completely inaccurate and he should consider thinking before he opens his mouth.
{ 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... } Roberto Verona: Now here is a man I can support. Jake Conway is truly one of the best in the business and I don’t think he deserves all the hate he receives.
Vasco Dias: Jake Conway is a man who made a career out of double crossing people and being your personal hitman.
Roberto Verona: It was all for a good cause.
Vasco Dias: Good cause?
Terri Morasco: I think what Mr Verona is saying is that the Ace isn’t nearly as respected as he should be.
Roberto Verona: I can speak for myself, thank you but that is correct. Jake is a very dangerous and resilient man and someone like Xavier Cross should be careful what he says and who he says it about when he’s in there with Jake.
{ Both men stand inside the Man of Steel Cage as the referee tells them the rules and calls for the bell. }Roberto Verona: I hope it isn’t too impartial of me to say I want to see Xavier Cross tap out.
Vasco Dias: Only a little bit.
Roberto Verona: Oh well.
{ The two men lock up in the middle of the ring. Ace starts to push Cross back but Xavier moves into a side head lock position. Ace pushes Cross off who bounces off the ropes and comes back into a hard shoulder block from Ace. Cross pops right back up and turns into a hip toss. Cross pops up again and Ace looks for another but Xavier turns it around into a deep arm drag and sends Ace to the mat. Both men get right up and go to tie it up but Cross hits a stiff kick to the gut and pulls Ace into another side headlock. Ace throws his hips and picks Cross up for a German suplex! They both get back to their feet and Ace throws a clothes line that Cross gets under and grabs him with a reverse neck breaker. Cross it up and runs into the ropes and bounces off as Jake stands and Cross nails him with a leaping shoulder block and knocks the Ace down! Cross is up and grabs for the Ace but Jake throws his arms off and kicks him in the gut and picks him up for an atomic drop and then lifts him back into the air for a AA spine buster! }Vasco Dias: The action is just going back and forth as both men jockey for position.
Roberto Verona: Jake is one of the best pure wrestlers I’ve ever met, Cross is going to be in for a rude awakening if he keeps trying to wrestle him.
Vasco Dias: Impartial.
Terri Morasco: Cross is no slouch, the man is a two time Heavy Weight Champion here in IWF and nearly won the Heir to the Throne.
Roberto Verona: Nearly, yes, but did not win.
{ Ace runs up on Cross with a boot to the back of the head. He grabs Xavier by the neck when a commotion in the crowd as well as a lot of boos get his attention. }Vasco Dias: There’s something going on at ring side.
Terri Morasco: Is that? Oh God…
{ Ace looks out the cage to ring side where Eddie Black now stands front row with a very large sign that says “SHOW US YOUR BITCH TITS!” Ace shakes his head from side to side and smirks as Eddie gets a “BITCH TITS!” chant going. }Vasco Dias: It’s Eddie Black! One half of the IWF Tag Team Champions.
Roberto Verona: Former tag team champions.
Vasco Dias: I don’t think their belts are officially retired being as neither of the replacement divisions ever got off the ground.
Roberto Verona: Regardless, is this necessary?
Terri Morasco: Eddie Black has been trying to get The Ace’s attention for weeks now, it looks like he’s taking a more direct approach.
{ Jake’s smirk turns into a sneer as he turns back to Cross who comes out of no where with a fore arm smash! Ace staggers and Cross rams a knee into his mid section and then lifts him up for a pump handle back breaker! Ace tries to recover but Cross is right on him with a kick and a quick samoan drop onto his back. Cross moves around him and looks for the Widow’s Wail but Ace is quick to throw a foot on the ropes and get one of his two allowed rope breaks. Xavier pops right up and climbs to the top rope as Jake gets back to his feet. Cross leaps off looking for a cross body but the Ace catches him and hits a massive power slam! }Roberto Verona: Excellent counter!
{ Eddie gets a “SHOW YOUR TITS!” Chant going now as the Ace gets back to his feet. He looks to where Eddie is and shakes his head. Cross takes advantage and sweeps Ace’s legs out from underneath him and looks to lock him back up into the Widow’s Wail but Ace quickly gets free. Ace gets back to his feet but Cross flies into him with a leaping forearm smash. Cross pushes Ace into the ropes and sends him across the ring with a Irish whip, Ace bounces off the ropes and Cross slams into him with a Lou Thez press and unleashes some rights and lefts. Cross gets back to his feet and runs toward the ropes as the Ace stands, Cross spring boards off the ropes with the Phoenix Driver DDT! }Vasco Dias: Perfectly executed Phoenix Driver!
Terri Morasco: Ace can’t seem to get his head back in the game with Eddie Black distracting him at ring side.
Roberto Verona: Yes, I’m sure we have our Head of Booking to thank for his great seats too.
{ Cross pulls Ace up and whips him hard into the corner of the ring. Cross runs across the ring and looks for the shining wizard but Jake steps out of the corner and catches Cross with one leg over his shoulder and suplexs him over head and sends him flying back first into the cage wall! }Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!
{ Ace runs and bounces off the ropes and comes back with a baseball slide and drives Xavier’s head into the side of the cage. Ace is right up and pulls Cross to his feet between the ropes and the cage wall and drags his forehead down the length of the apron before slamming his face into the ring post. }Vasco Dias: Looks like the Ace isn’t playing nice anymore!
Roberto Verona: That a boy, Jake.
{ Ace steps up onto the second ropes and pulls Cross up onto the top, Jake steps up onto the top rope and picks Cross up into a vertical suplex and holds him there for ten long seconds before hitting a massive SUPER PLEX! }Terri Morasco: We’re seeing the darker, more resilient side of Jake Conway.
Roberto Verona: I warned you, he’s among the best grapplers in the business.
Vasco Dias: Who just so happens to be firmly in your back pocket.
Roberto Verona: I can’t help it if we get on back stage, similar interest and all.
Vasco Dias: Just admit you made this match in the hopes Ace would injure Cross!
Roberto Verona: Like him or hate him Xavier Cross makes me money, why would I want him hurt? Now maybe have him taught a lesson or two?
{ Cross seems dazed as Jake looks to put him away and comes off the ropes and drives Xavier’s face into the mat with the FAMEACER! Ace doesn’t waste anytime as he locks him into the Trente et Quarante! Cross looks like he’s getting ready to tap when he just barely gets to the ropes and uses one of his two rope breaks. }Vasco Dias: Close call for Xavier.
{ Ace is up and waits for Cross to stand, Ace comes at him and looks for the Reversal of Fortune but Xavier pushes him off, Ace turns into a flipping drop kick! Cross pops right back up and grabs Ace for the NAZI HUNTER! Ace is down and Cross locks in the Widow’s Wail!!! }Vasco Dias: THIS COULD BE IT!
Terri Morasco: Ace has one rope break left, can he make it to the ropes!?
{ Cross yells “TAP!” as Jake reaches out and just gets to the ropes using his final rope break. }Vasco Dias: Ace broke it up!
Roberto Verona: Cross needs to work on his positioning, a little closer to the center of the ring and this match could have been over.
Vasco Dias: Perhaps.
{ Cross looks amped up now as he gets to his feet and heads to the corner. He climbs up and leaps off with the Heaven’s Tribute elbow and drives it deep into the chest of Jake Conway! Cross gets up and pulls Ace to his feet, he whips him hard into the corner and starts to unleash a series of punches, then a knee to the gut, Ace turns and Cross rips his legs out from under him and drops the Ace face first onto the turnbuckle. Cross steps back and looks for the Afternoon Delight kick and drives Jake’s face into the turnbuckle with his foot! Ace pops up for a second, stumbles and then drops down onto his face. }Vasco Dias: Afternoon Delight could be it for Jake Conway!
{ Cross grabs him by the shoulders and pulls him up to his feet and shoves him into the ropes. Cross runs right at him and Ace explodes out of the corner with a massive European upper cut and then hits the Reversal of fortune! }Vasco Dias: Ace looks like he may be spent.
Roberto Verona: I wouldn’t count him out if I were you.
{ Eddie Black is screaming at the Ace from ring side “GET UP YOU BITCH! }Terri Morasco: I guess Eddie wants to see this match continue.
Vasco Dias: More so than I’m sure Verona would like.
Roberto Verona: Honestly Xavier Cross has disappointed me from the moment the bell rang, he’s barely even trying.
{ Both men start to slowly get to their feet, Cross kicks him in the gut and takes a big swing at him but Ace gets under it and catches him with the Russian Roulette! Ace quickly locks him into the Trente et Quarante in the center of the ring! }Vasco Dias: XAVIER CROSS HAS NOWHERE TO GO!
Roberto Verona: I’ve had about of him floundering around my ring.
{ He struggles as Ace wrenches him, Roberto walks over to the time keeper and tell him to ring the bell. }Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
{ Ace releases the hold and gets to his feet as the referee checks on Xavier Cross. }Alison Valance: And the winner of the match by….
{ Verona tells her to go on. }Alison Valance: Forefit is Jake The Ace Conway….
{ Eddie Black almost falls over laughing as Xavier Cross is up now and starts screaming at Roberto who simply walks around the cage and starts to head up the ramp. }Vasco Dias: Roberto Verona threw in the towel for Xavier Cross?
Terri Morasco: It looks that way…
Vasco Dias: And he’s supposed to be the good guy!?
{ Ace hops out of the cage and grabs his wife as Eddie points at the sign and back to the Ace and laughs. Cross on the other hand looks extremely upset as we head to commercial. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
”Reparations.”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ Xavier Cross is currently pacing in the ring with the cage from the Man of Steel match still being disassembled. }Vasco Dias: As you can see Xavier Cross hasn’t left the ring yet.
Terri Morasco: I can’t blame him after how his match ended.
Vasco Dias: One of the more bizarre endings in IWF history.
{ Cross rolls out of the ring and rips a microphone out of the hands of Valance. }Xavier Cross: VERONA!
{ Cross paces. }Xavier Cross: You think you can just fuck me and get away with it!?
{ Cross turns to the announcers and rips the top of the table off. }Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
{ Vasco and Terri jump out of the way as Cross picks up one of the monitors. }Xavier Cross: Let’s see how you like people fucking with you!
{ Cross lifts the monitor over head and slams it down hard on the ground, it shatters and he rips another monitor off the table and slams it into the ring post. }Vasco Dias: Cross has lost his mind!
{ Cross picks up one of the lap tops and breaks it over his knee! }Vasco Dias: That’s IWF property!
{ He smashes the screen over the table and throws it away. He grabs the other lap top and smashes it against the side of the camera that’s right up in his face. He rips the camera away and we change views to a long shot as Cross smashes it into the ring post again and again until it is broken bits of little plastic. }Vasco Dias: He’s like a man possessed.
Terri Morasco: He’s certainly going to get someone’s attention.
{ Cross rips the apron off the side of the ring near the announcer’s and looks underneath where he pulls out a tool box, he dumps it out on the ground and finds a box cutter. }Vasco Dias: What’s he going to do now!?
{ Cross walks around the ring slicing the ring apron as he goes. He rolls under the ropes and climbs into the ring and stabs the box cutter into the turnbuckle cover and rips it open. He walks across the ring and goes the same to the other turnbuckle. Cross rolls out of the ring and grabs random cords off the ground and starts cutting them as sparks fly. }Vasco Dias: I think he’s literally lost his mind.
{ Cross drops the cutters and grabs a chair. He marches up the ramp and hops off to where the sound system is and raises the chair over his head when… }Roberto Verona: ENOUGH!
{ Cross turns and looks to Verona who now stands on the entrance ramp. }Roberto Verona: Enough Cross!
{ Cross seethes with anger and shakes his head no as he starts slamming the chair into the sound equipment. }Roberto Verona: YOU WANT ME IN THE RING!?
{ The crowd pops as Cross turns his attention back to Verona, he nods with a sadistic grin on his face. }Roberto Verona: Well congratulations Mr Cross you just blew your chance of that happening!
Vasco Dias: What!?
Roberto Verona: I just got off the phone with the board of directors Mr Cross and for the destruction of IWF property we have no other choice but to engage in legal reparations for your actions, which means as the head of this company I cannot step in the ring with you.
Vasco Dias: Looks like Cross cost himself the match he wants.
{ Xavier shakes his head from side to side before taking the chair and slamming it into some more of the equipment. }Roberto Verona: But your little tantrum has given me another idea for a match.
{ Cross stops, laughs and shakes his head. }Roberto Verona: I was thinking you and your very dear friend, the Joker in the Pack winner Alex Jones could have a match next Sunday… A First Blood Match!
{ The crowd pops huge at this announcement as Xavier Cross locks eyes with Roberto, clearly upset but possibly not as upset as Verona. }Roberto Verona: You blew your chance Mr Cross, you have no one to blame but yourself.
{ Cross continues to shake his head as we head to commercial break and the crew starts to clean up the mess. }----------------------------------------------------------

Amber Richards: You're kidding right?....
{The lights in the arena go down to a blue hue and purple smoke begins to fill the entrance way as the banging drums of "Apex Predator" by Otep resound throughout the arena, the sirens and the lyrics introduce Eternity to the audience and as the adults boo, the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she walks down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand accompanied by the chorus. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it. She then skips to the middle of the ring and gets down on one knee, a leg outstretched behind her, as she looks heavenward and raises an arm in front of her, her hand reaching towards the sky. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.}Terri Morasco: The champion looks focused....
Amber Richards: She does..this should be interesting....

HANDICAP MATCH
Ana Valentine and GOD vs Alexis Caffrey
----------------------------------------------------------
{"Cult of love" hits as Alexis makes her way out without Mike by her side, she looks around nervously not sure what is going on as she makes her way down to the ring, she slides into the ring and looks towards the entranceway.}Vasco Dias: For those who don't know, Mike Laszlo was ejected from the arena earlier tonight....
Terri Morasco: By Angel...
Vasco Dias: And now this is a handicap match
{"Sail" by devildriver hits the PA system as GOD and Ana Valentine walk out the entranceway together.
