PRESHOW
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUR WAY LADDER MATCH
Cliff Clinton vs John Tolly vs Kevin Evel vs Alioth Starre
Winner gets an Invictus Championship match
----------------------------------------------------------
It was a long and brutal match that saw all four men hit some of their signature moves but in the end Kevin Evel got a little too concerned with John Tolly and both men fought into the crowd. This allowed Starre and Clinton to focus on the title shot hanging over head. Both men fought on top of a ladder but in the end it was Starre who got the upper hand and sent Clintom crashing down through two tables stacked on top of each other after driving him face first into the top of the ladder. Starre grabbed the contract and secured himself a future championship match. Evel and Tolly fought to the back where both men had to be separated by security.
Winner: Alioth Starre
{ Negative One by Slipknot plays through out the arena as we scan the sold out crowd, the video packages playing in the background as the pyro explodes leading all the way down to the ring. }Vasco Dias: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to LEGACY!

MAN OF STEEL CAGE MATCH
Kyle Mason vs Mason St Croix
----------------------------------------------------------
{"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 his opponent and walks at a marching pace towards the ring . Once in the ring 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 his opponent.}Terri Morasco: These two men have been bumping heads over the last few weeks.
Vasco Dias: If you mean Mason has been handing Kyle his ass the last two time they fought...I would agree.
{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.}Terri Morasco: Well this time it won't be an attack from outside. This time both men will be meeting in the center of the cage.
{ Both men stand inside the Man of Steel Cage as the referee tells them the rules and calls for the bell. }Vasco Dias: I give it until the ref backs away for this to become overly violent
Terri Morasco: Let's see.
{ Both men don’t waste any time and meet in the middle of the ring and begin to tear into each other with lefts and rights. Mason is starting to get the edge here as he starts to pepper Kyle with lefts, that backs him into the corner. Kyle is trying to cover up, but Mason drives a knee into the midsection of Kyle Mason, which causes Kyle to drop his guard. Mason sizes Kyle up before unleashing that St. Croix Combo that ends with an elbow that drives the side of Kyle’s head into the cage wall. Kyle’s face bounces off the steel and is greeted by a series of elbows from St. Croix. Mason steps back to allow Kyle to stagger out of the corner, Mason tries to drive Kyle face first back into the cage wall with a big boot, but Kyle ducks and wraps Mason around the waist before spinning around and sending him into the cage wall with a German suplex. Kyle doesn’t waste any time getting back into this match as he fires kick after kick into Mason’s chest as he sits against the cage wall. Kyle lines up for another kick, but Mason goes to block it, only to have Kyle jump forward and drive both knees into the face of Mason, crushing him against the cage wall! Mason is slumped against the wall and is barely able to move his head as Kyle fires a vicious looking thrust kick that misses the mark by inches. Mason quickly kicks at Kyle’s knee and rolls to the side to give him some space to breathe. Kyle tries to get back to his feet and tries to keep the pressure on Mason, but Mason stops him in his track with a stiff elbow to the jaw!!! }Vasco Dias: And just as we expected, Mason and Kyle are tearing into each other and not holding anything back.
Terri Morasco: This has been a very interesting match up for me. You have a former Ranger, a man who is trained to be able to within and dish out some amazing pain. Then you have Kyle Mason, who some say is one of the hardest hitting guys that we have on the roster. You add that to the fact that he is willing to take a beating to get what he wants and you have a very interesting match up.
Vasco Dias: I think violent is even to small of a word for what we are going to see
{ Mason reaches out and yanks Kyle back in and tosses him into the corner of the cage, causing Kyle to bust open his head on one of the steel poles holding up the Cage. Kyle drops in the corner as the blood starts to flow from his forehead. }Vasco Dias: And Mason draws first blood.
Terri Morasco: Hold on…what the Hell is Mason doing!?!
{ Mason lets a small grin creep across his face as he begins to drive his knuckles into the wound in Kyle’s head. Kyle starts to let out a blood chilling scream as Mason continue to drive his knuckles into the bloody gash. Kyle is clawing at the mat as Mason is now digging fingers into the wound in Kyle’s head. }Vasco Dias: Mason isn’t holding back anything.
Terri Morasco: Former champion showing just why he was a force to be reckon with.
Vasco Dias: Not just a force…but in his comeback, Mason hasn’t lost a match yet and you gotta expect the two beatings he has order put on Kyle, to be given the self proclaimed DEVIL nightmares.
Terri Morasco: Agreed, but does he have to go to this extant?
Vasco Dias: Angel is using Mason to send a message to Kyle. And like him or not, Mason is doing a great job at it.
{ Mason grabs Kyle by the back of the head and starts to run his wound into the cage wall, causing the blood to smear and spread. All of the sudden the screams of pain coming from Kyle Mason dies down.. Mason checks to see if Kyle maybe passed out from the blood loss. The whole arena grows silent as a small laughter starts to build from within the cage. Mason has a bewildered look on his face as Kyle slowly lifts his head towards Mason. From within the bloody crimson mask he is now wearing, Kyle begins to smile as his laugh becomes louder and louder. Mason and Kyle look eyes…neither making a move…until Kyle spits blood into Mason’s eyes causing him to stumble back. That gives Kyle enough time to explode forward and wrap Mason up in a Exploder suplex that sends him flying into the corner turnbuckle. Kyle wipes the blood from his face and stares at his hands. Kyle drops to his knees and and his laughing has now become uncontrollable! }Terri Morasco: I think it is safe to say that Kyle Mason has finally snapped!
{ Kyle lifts up Mason against the cage wall and fires off Two punches followed by a shoot kick followed by a spinning backfist followed by a Roaring elbow that looks like it almost knocked out Mason on his feet. Kyle lets out a scream as he now tears at the turnbuckle and rips it off to expose the steel underneath. Kyle starts to bang his on head against the exposed steel as blood starts to fly everywhere. Kyle walks over to Mason, blood dripping from his face and picks up the former champion. Mason quickly fires a clothesline, but Kyle ducks under that and goes to fire a Superkick, which Mason goes to block. But Kyle switches up and instead of aiming for the face, send the Superkick to the knees of Mason. As St. Croix drops to his knees, Kyle quickly fires another Superkick. This time it lands flush on Mason St. Croix’s jaw. The impact echoes through the arena as Mason collapses to the mat! }Vasco Dias: Someone call the dentist…it’s raining teeth!!!
Terri Morasco: That has to be one of the stiffest kicks I’ve seen.
Vasco Dias: Stiff…I know dead bodies that were looser then that kick, Terri.
{ Kyle lifts Mason up one more time and goes to Irish whip him into the cage wall, but Mason reverses it, only to have Kyle yank his arm forward and catch Mason in a Triangle Arm hold. Kyle is stretching back trying to either pop the shoulder out of place or that elbow. Mason is hitting his arm, trying to work the blood flow back into…or to fight the pain with some more pain. }Vasco Dias: He’s trying to rip his arm off!!!
{ Mason starts to center himself under Kyle and starts to lift the former MMA star off the ground. Kyle is bringing his heel down on the collar bone of Mason, but St. Croix is refusing to pay it any mind as he gets Kyle up in the air and awkwardly powerbombs Kyle into the corner of the cage. }Vasco Dias: And it looks like the Ranger has been awaken!!!
Terri Morasco: If that powerbomb was a sign of anything…that means bad news for Kyle Mason.
{ Mason shakes his arm for a second to get the blood flow back and starts to rain down fist to the face and body of Kyle Mason. When he is tired of throwing fist, Mason begins with the boot attack, stomping away at a defenseless Kyle Mason! }Terri Morasco: And Mason isn’t done yet as he smashes Kyle with that running knee.
Vasco Dias: I think he may have just broken Kyle’s neck. This isn’t looking good for Kyle.
Terri Morasco: I’ll tell you what…someone needs to make a call to the hospital and make sure Kyle has a bed waiting next to Sunshine.
Vasco Dias: You just had to go there didn’t you.
Terri Morasco: Are you watching this…how you could not think that, that is going to be the outcome.
{ Mason sensing the end is near picks up Kyle and throws him into the corner like a rag doll. Mason fires off a few more shots before whipping Kyle back first into that exposed turnbuckle. Kyle bounces out of the corner and Mason charges. }Vasco Dias: WARPATH!!!!
{ Kyle’s head bounces off the mat with a thud as Mason starts to measure him up. Mason quickly wraps Kyle up and looks to be going for Ranger’s Way, But Kyle throws that foot back to the precious jewels and Mason drops down to his knees. Kyle backs up into the corner and gets a running start! Running pushing stomp to the back of Mason’s head!!! }Vasco Dias: SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN!!!
Terri Morasco: That came out of nowhere…
{ Kyle is telling the ref to start a count, as it looks like Mason is not moving. }1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
{ Mason shoots a hand up to the nearby ropes and Kyle is livid. As Mason is pulling himself up, Kyle is on top of him raining down all types of shots! Mason is trying his best to cover up as Kyle is making him eat everything from elbows to knees. One well place kick to the midsection and Kyle wraps Mason up for The Quickening( Sister Abigail), but Mason once again shows us some incredible strength as he reverses the finisher and starts to fire a few knees of his own to the back of Kyle’s head. Mason quickly transitions Kyle into a face shattering reverse Russian Legsweep. }Vasco Dias: Hold on…I think I know what he is going for…
{ Mason slips right into that Dragon’s Clutch he calls the Reckoning. And he is putting his full wait on Kyle and you can see that pressure on Kyle’s face. The ref drops down to check on him as he struggles to get to the ropes to use his first rope break. }Vasco Dias: Kyle Mason has one Hell of a crawl in front of him as he tries to make it to the ropes.
Terri Morasco: That weight on his back isn’t making it any easier as well.
{ You can see Kyle biting his lip through the crimson mask covering his face as he is forcing himself closer to the ropes. Maybe almost a finger away… }Terri Morasco: And Kyle Mason makes the ropes and the ref is telling St. Croix that he has to let go.
Vasco Dias: Mason grabs Kyle and rams him back first into the cage wall and spins him around and rams him into the corner…then spins around again and plants Kyle into the mat with a vicious spinebuster.
Terri Morasco: Geez…I felt that all the way over here.
{ Mason is giving the signal that this one is over and wraps Kyle up with the Dragon sleeper. Mason lifts Kyle up and rams him back first again into the cage before bringing him down with a Dragon sleeper suplex! Mason keeps the Dragon sleeper hold on and spins Kyle around and transitions into that Dragon’s Clutch! }Vasco Dias: THE RECKONING!!!
Terri Morasco: He has Kyle in the middle of the Cage with nowhere to go.
{ Mason is pulling back as the blood continues to pour from Kyle’s head. The ref drops down to check on Kyle He goes to lift his hand once…twice…three times and the ref is calling for the bell as it seems as Kyle has passed out from the pain and blood loss. }----------------------------------------------------------

WOMAN OF STEEL MATCH
Ana Valentine vs Alexis Caffrey
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Our next match has been bubbling for weeks, Alexis Caffrey basically called out the former Diamonds Champion on her latest Godly attractions and well, Ana doesn’t take too kindly to being called out.
Terri Morasco: Absolutely not. She’s a former Diamonds Champion for a reason, she’s kicked every ass that’s been put in front of her and Alexis should really be careful about what she says if she wants to see her wedding night.
{ “Cult of Love” by Living Colour hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis and Mike walk out onto the stage. Mike steps back and lets Alexis pose for the cheering crowd as he claps along with them, urging on his girlfriend. Alexis heads to the ring followed by Mike as she is announced. She gets to the ring and climbs up on the apron and into the ring. She heads to the corner opposite the entrance ramp as Mike climbs onto the apron to give her words of encouragement and further instruction. }Vasco Dias: There’s no denying how much these fans love Alexis and how happy everyone is for her.
Terri Morasco: Except for Ana of course who will be more than happy to make sure she sports a few broken ribs and a black eye for the wedding.
Vasco Dias: Are you pulling for Ana?
Terri Morasco: I’m just not denying how dangerous she is.
{The lights lower and a purple spotlight shines on the stage. Oteps "seduce and destroy" comes over the speakers, Ana Valentine makes her way out. She makes her way down to the ring very slowly getting past the fans. 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 getting into the ring.}Vasco Dias: Ana Valentine has been a force to be reckoned with lately as she’s slowly been working her way back up to the top of the rankings.
Terri Morasco: It’s only a matter of time before she gets another shot at the Diamonds Championship and I doubt she’ll let it slip through her fingers.
Vasco Dias: Its hard to deny how talented she is inside that ring but the thing about Alexis Caffrey is she is unpredictable.
{ Both women test the strength of the cage walls before the ref calls for the bell. Alexis moves right out of her corner and ties it up with Ana and Ana quickly over powers her and pushes her into the corner. Alexis kicks her hard in the get and gets behind her for a rear waist lock take down. Alexis moves over the top of her and looks for a crossface but Ana is quick to get out of it. Both women get to their feet and collide with duel forearm shivers. Alexis hits another and another and drives Ana back into the ropes. Alexis pushes her off the ropes, Ana comes rebounding off the other side and Alexis drop toe holds her onto the second rope. Alexis gets up and jumps high into the air and brings her knee down into the back of Ana and chokes her on the second rope. }Vasco Dias: Alexis is pressing an early advantage.
Terri Morasco: She needs to do a lot more than that to wear her down enough to tap.
{ Alexis backs off and pulls Ana up to her feet. Alexis hits another forearm shiver and then grabs her around the waist for a belly to belly suplex. Alexis backs off and runs for the ropes, she springs boards off the ropes and hits the Justification DDT on Ana just as she stands. Alexis once again goes for a crossface but Ana once again power out of it. Ana gets to her feet but Alexis is right there with a clubbing blow over her back and a grip around her waist for a release german suplex right onto the back of her neck and back. Alexis bounces off the ropes as Ana stands and leaps into the air with the Graceful Letdown DDT! }Vasco Dias: Graceful Letdown!
{ Alexis pulls her up to her feet and hits a spinning heel kick then blows her a kiss before bouncing off the ropes and coming back and hitting The Kiss Goodnight!!! }Vasco Dias: Alexis just nailed the Kiss Goodnight, if this match had pin falls she may just have the win right there.
Terri Morasco: I doubt that, Ana hasn’t even gotten warmed up.
{ Alexis goes for the crossface again but Ana is quick to power herself toward the ropes and get the first of her two rope breaks. Alexis backs off and tilts her head as she waits for Ana to stand. Ana gets to her feet and Alexis takes off full steam but Ana leaps into the air with the Flight of the Phoenix leg lariat! Alexis tries to pop right back up but Ana hits her hard with a kick to the gut and grabs her for a release dragon suplex right into the cage wall! Alexis lays between the ropes and the wall as Ana starts to viciously kick Alexis in the back and the back of the head before just driving her boot heel into he skull and crushing Alexis’ head against the cage wall. }Vasco Dias: Ana is a force of sheer brutality.

Ana backs off and then runs full steam before hitting a drop kick right into Alexis who lays prone in the corner! }Vasco Dias: She’s a violent beast!
Terri Morasco: She’s a Goddess without a throne and she’s looking to get it back.
Vasco Dias: I hope Amber and Eternity are watching this, one of these women could very well be the next contender for the Diamonds Championship.
{ Ana pulls Alexis up and out of the corner and kicks her hard in the gut, Alexis doubles over and Ana rips her up off the mat into a power bomb and runs her straight toward the cage wall and sends Alexis flying into the cage wall, she falls behind the ropes again and looks like a tangled mess as Ana grabs her by the hair and starts to grate her face against the chain link wall. }Vasco Dias: Alexis needs to get her momentum back and fast before Ana puts her away.
{ Ana pulls her out of from between the ropes and sets her up for Cupid’s Kiss, she comes off the ropes and jumps up into the air but Alexis instead pulls back and kicks Ana straight in the back as she comes down! Ana tries to get up quick but Alexis is there with a shining wizard! Ana stumbles back into the corner and Alexis hits a running boot in the corner and as Ana stumbles out she picks her up for a double underhook sit out face buster! Alexis isn’t done as she pulls Ana to her feet again and sends her face first into the cage wall! Ana bounces off and Alexis grabs her and runs her the other way into the other wall. She grabs her again and runs her into the third wall and then finally into the fourth. Alexis then picks Ana up on her shoulder and slams her back first into the cage wall, Alexis turns and throws Ana into the wall with an overhead release belly to belly suplex! }Vasco Dias: Alexis is back in this one!
Terri Morasco: She’s got a precious few minutes to capitalize because the longer this match foes on the more it favors the veteran.
{ Alexis pulls Ana back up to her feet and slams her face into the cage wall again and again and again andagainandagainandagain! Ana stumbles and Alexis hits a snap suplex in the center of the ring. She turns Ana over and locks her into a crossface in the center of the ring! }Vasco Dias: She’s got her!
{ Ana scrambles and crawls as Alexis wrenches back as hard as she can and tries to get Ana to tap but Ana gets her second rope break of the match. Alexis gets to her feet smiling, knowing that this could be it, Ana has no more rope breaks. }Terri Morasco: This is her chance to end this match.
Vasco Dias: One submission could do it.
{ Alexis comes at Ana hard but Ana drills her with a back elbow and turns and hits a swinging neck breaker! Both women are right to their feet but Ana gets Alexis up into a fireman’s carry and hits a roll over on Ana as she jumps forward and drills Alexis into the mat. Ana hits the ropes and comes back with a running senton. Alexis tries to get up but Ana is right there and hits Valentine’s bow! }Vasco Dias: Alexis may of missed her only opportunity to win this match.
Terri Morasco: Ana Valentine is just too much of a brute force to be stopped.
Vasco Dias: I don’t know that I agree but I can’t argue either.
{ Ana grabs Alexis and locks her into the ASHES! }Vasco Dias: INTO THE ASHES!!!
Terri Morasco: THIS COULD BE IT!!!
{ Alexis struggles with everything she has and manages to just get her foot on the ropes and the referee breaks the hold. Ana slams Alexis face first into the mat and gets to her feet.

”Legends Q and A.”
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: For the past several weeks now The Brothers Black have made their feelings towards a certain legend in this business very clear...
Vasco Dias: Especially Eddie Black who wants to do God's work personally and take out The Ace, but so far all of his challenges have fallen on deaf ears...
Terri Morasco: Indeed they have, and today at a very special Legacy Legends Q and A panel, Eddie decided to crash the event once again to send a personal message to Jake and Kathy Conway.
Vasco Dias: We now take you via the IWF GO! App to our exclusive coverage of the Legacy panel which was hosted by the lovely Tiffany Jones earlier today.
IWF LEGENDS LEGACY FAN Q AND A PANEL
EARLIER TODAY
EXCLUSIVE ON THE IWF GO! APP
{ We see The Ace sat at a table on the stage alongside his wife, Kathleen Conway, with Tiffany Jones stood at a podium beside the couple. The IWF's most well known couple are dressed smartly with The Ace in a shirt and pants combo with his hair tied back into a pony tail and Kathy is wearing an elegant peach coloured evening dress.
A female fan in a Wild Kat T-shirt stands up in the crowd as the microphone is brought to her. }Female Fan: My question is for Kathy Conway. I think it’s safe to say that you are one of the most enduring legends on the female wrestling scene today. Is there a secret to your longevity whilst so many of your colleagues seem to fall away and if so how do you manage to keep your personal and private life so well balanced? And now that you've been reinstated will we finally see you capture a title?
Kathy Conway: Well, first of all let me thank you for the kind words and second let me tell you it isn't easy, but as my mother always says, nothing worth doing well ever is. It's always a struggle in a business where we're all constantly trying to outdo one another and over the years it has fostered some jealousy and resentment from others in the business, particularly my relationship with Jake. This job really can choke the life out of your personal relationships if you let it, but Jake and I try to keep our romance alive by making sure that at least once a week we make time for just ourselves no matter what else is going on. Making time for your partner is just as important as making time for anything else you want to make a real success of out of this life. As for my title aspirations, it would be nice wouldn't it? I came close over a year ago against Jessica Reed, and there's nothing to say I can't go the distance if the opportunity were to present itself again.
{ The microphone is brought to a male fan in the now infamous "Bitch Tits" T-shirt, which elicits some chuckles from the crowd. The Ace pre-empts the question. }The Ace: I think I know where this is going...
Male Fan: My question is for The Ace. Why haven't you answered Eddie's challenge yet? Do you ever intend to?
The Ace: Erm...because it's just as ridiculous as the T-Shirts he endorses? But seriously, maybe kayfabe really isn't dead and this has all been a year long build to the anniversary of our first encounter at Survival of the Fittest, I guess you'll find out in November, or maybe sooner or maybe never. Depends on when the boy grows up and starts making sense. I never step into that ring for just any old piddly ass especially one I've already kicked.
{ The microphone is then brought to a small boy in a Mr Happy t-shirt. }Child fan: Uhhh...my question is...for Ace. If you won't accept Eddie's challenge, what about Katherine Lockheart's?
The Ace: Oh, I was hoping nobody saw that, but since it's for a good cause and I'm sure you'd all like to see it, how about I answer it right now?
{ There is a roar from the crowd. }Tiffany Jones: Well alright then! I'm sure we can find a bucket of ice water from somewhere. Ladies and gentlemen, taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge...The Ace! Please remember to donate generously.
{ The Ace gets up and moves around to the front of the stage, unbuttoning his shirt and there are some wolf whistles from the women in the crowd as he takes it off. }Tiffany Jones: Now Jake, you were nominated for this by former Head of the Diamonds Division, Katherine Lockheart, but we'd like to know who you would like to throw the challenge out to.
The Ace: I challenge Shelley Taylor and Jessica Reed.
{ There are some roars of approval from the crowd. }Kathy Conway: And on behalf of my husband in the spirit of equality, I challenge Roberto Verona and Rob Diamond.
The Ace: Can she do that?
Tiffany Jones: Well there's nothing to say she can't...
The Ace: Alright, bring it on!
{ The Ace rubs his hands together and prepares himself and there is a huge reaction from the gathered crowd as Eddie Black pops up and runs from behind the stage with a bucket which he then dumps unapologetically over The Ace's head. The Ace is soaked and in shock as ice falls all around him. He looks at Eddie who grins. }Eddie: Now we can see your nips, bitch tits!
{ You can see the anger and frustration building in the Ace’s face as he tries to hold back, this man just ruined the ALS challenge for him. }Eddie: Come on now, hit me!
{ Ace glares and really thinks about it but eventually he backs off a little bit and reaches for his wife. }Eddie: Runnin’ like a scalded dog again, huh? I used to respect ya, Jake, ya didn’t take shit from nobody but now look at ya.
{ Ace stops. }Eddie: Ya ain’t a legend, ya just legend’s best friend, just Verona’s little bitch.
{ Kathy grips his arm tightly before whispering something in his ear. }Eddie: Hey Kat.
{ This gets Ace’s attention as Kathy still holds his arm. }Eddie: Why don’t ya bring that fine ass over here and I’ll show you the time of yer life.
{ Eddie grabs for her wrist but the Ace turns around and pushes her back, Eddie acts on instinct alone and throws a right hand that catches the Ace in the face. Ace quickly retaliates with his own right hand that knocks Eddie down. Eddie pops right back up and tackles Ace and drops him on the table behind them. Eddie starts throwing punches, Ace turns him over and counters. Security finally floods the stage and starts pulling them apart. Ace fights at security as does Eddie but with six men each on them they can’t break free. Kathy on the other hand walks right up to Eddie and slaps him across the face. }Kathy Conway: Keep your damn hands off of me!
{ Eddie makes a kissy face at her as security now has to restrain her. The whole Q and A has fallen apart now as security tries to usher them out of the room and keep the fans at a safe distance. Fade back to ring side. }Terri Morasco: You just knew this was eventually going to explode and it looks like it finally did.
Vasco Dias: I’ve got to say, Eddie has some serious cajones to put his hands on the Ace’s wife like that.
Terri Morasco: Ace is a very resilient man but he wears his love for her on his chest like a badge of honor and when you’re dealing with low lives like Eddie Black that is not a good thing.
Vasco Dias: Hopefully Roberto Verona will step in and maybe lock these two in a steel cage and let them settle their differences the old fashioned way.
Terri Morasco: I’d love to see that rematch.

FIRST BLOOD MATCH
Special Guest commentator
Alex Jones vs Xavier Cross
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: "Legacy has turned out to be one for the ages...And now, we have Jones and Cross taking each other on in a First Blood match..."
Terri Morasco: "This match was the brain child of CEO Roberto Verona, who should be joining us anytime now at ringside!"
{King of the World by Porcelain and The Tramps hits the P.A., as Roberto Verona comes out, a smile on his face, wearing a suit. Looking around, he gets a chorus of boos as he waves his hand at the crowd, before clapping and making his way down the ramp. Looking into the ring, he nods a bit, before making his way over to the announcer's table.}Vasco Dias: "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!"
Terri Morasco: "Welcome, Welcome again Boss."
Roberto Verona: "Thank you, such a warm welcome from the crowd."
Vasco Dias: "Verona, let's cut to the chase, you want to see Cross get maimed tonight right?"
Roberto Verona: "No, in fact I never wish for anyone to get maimed, though that is the nature of the beast, that is First Blood is it not?"
Terri Morasco: "That's very true, but...you made this match specifically to punish Cross, did you not?"
Roberto Verona: "Punish? No...no, I'll let the courts punish Xavier. This is just a showcase of talent. He may be a bit off tilt, but Cross still has plenty left in the tank, and with Mr. Jones in line to be a number one contender whenever he chooses, I felt as though pairing them up tonight would work best for everyone."
Vasco Dias: "It's all business with you, isn't it Roberto?"
Roberto Verona: "It makes sure you all have a pay check at the end of the night, correct."
Terri Morasco: "Yes. Sir."
{The lights shut off as the start of "This fire" by Archie Wilson comes on, white strobe lights flash with the drum beat of the opening until, A spotlight shines on the entranceway. Alex Jones emerges wearing a black hoodie with a white dallas cowboy styled star on the back, a COD Ghosts face mask wrapped around his face. He walks down to the ring and leaps onto the apron sliding across it before getting into the ring and leaping onto the second rope instigating the crowd. He jumps down and runs to the opposite corner and does the same as the music dies down.}Roberto Verona: "See, Jones used to be a predator back in the day, but it seems lately he's been so busy trying to be a good guy, he forgot what fighting really was like."
Vasco Dias: "Just because the man has honor, doesn't mean he's weak."
Roberto Verona: "He lacks that killer instinct, something I believe Cross only has."
Terri Morasco: "So you're trying to see if they learn from each other tonight?"
Roberto Verona: "My goal is to deliver the best product to these fans. If that means slapping the booze out of Joe Everyman's hand, I'll do it. I may not be popular, but I know I'm right. These two still have growing to do as they reach for the top of their career's, and it's my job to show them the way. Though sometimes, it has to be a painful circumstance."
{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 Vance: "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
the turnbuckle. He looks over at Verona, pointing at his boss, making a very rude gesture. The fans react positively with a chorus of cheers.}Vasco Dias: "Now that is just uncalled for."
Roberto Verona: "Cross impatient and rude, let him act like a delinquent and he shall be treated as such."
Terri Morasco: "The fans here seem to love it, and what keeps them in the seats pays the bill correct?"
Roberto Verona: "Unfortunately, sometimes the audience are ignorant to certain aspects of dignity, and class."
{Cross hops off the turnbuckle, turning his attention to Jones, who has a straight look on his face, watching Cross carefully, almost as though he was inspecting him. Cross leans against the ropes, smirking at Jones. The ref asks both men if they are ready, which the both respond with a nod. The ref calls for the bell, and immediately the fans are going crazy, as Jones and Cross step forward locking up. The jostle for position, and control, as Jones steps his foot behind Xavier, getting a trip take down. Cross is on his back, as Jones begins to rain down quick punches. Xavier eats a couple, just to get in close headbutting Alex Jones. Jones stumbles backwards in pain, as Cross rolls to his feet. Charging forward, Xavier looks for a quick shining wizard, but Alex charges forward with a spear take down, on top of Cross again he begins raining down fists, left and right, one after the other. Cross ducks one of the punches, pushing Jones to the side, getting on top of him, before he starts throwing a flurry of his own strikes, dropping lefts and rights onto the face of Alex Jones. Jones manages to get his knees up, into the chest of Xavier Cross pushing him backwards. Cross rubs his face, checking for a blood, a smirk resting on his lips.}Vasco Dias: "Nothing but pure striking to start this match off."
Roberto Verona: "Both men are willing to do whatever it takes, this is nothing compared to what we may see."
Terri Morasco: "They may end up beating one another to a pulp at this rate.”
{The two men begin circling each other, staring down one another. Cross damn near skiips around the ring as Alex looks as focused as ever. Stepping back, Xavier hops into the corner, sitting on the top of the turnbuckle looking at Alex, Cross claps his hands together, as Cross tilts his head the smirk on his face is wiped away. Alex steps forward, but Cross quickly gives him the fingers before leaping outwards. But before anything, Alex leaps into the air, catching Cross in the head with an enziguri. Cross lands on his arm, trying to stand up looking dazed as he falls back over. Jones picks himself up, looking through the ropes of the ring, before sliding to the outside. He quickly ducks underneath, digging around in the bottom of the ring finding something, he slides back with a Kendo Stick in each hand. Nodding his head, Jones stands up holding his treasure as the IWF fans get to their feet, the same with Xavier Cross who is standing there motioning for Jones to come on in.}Vasco Dias: “I thought Alex Jones took Cross’s head off with that kick.”
Roberto Verona: “Indeed, Alex Jones is one of the more athletic guys in the business, it’s all being put on display here.”
Terri Morasco: “But bad intentions from here on out, he’s got the Kendo Sticks!”
{Jones slides in, Cross goes to meet him but Jones literally flips out of the way, looking some a trained jedi. Cross turns, and Jones is swinging one of the Kendo stick towards his head, Cross gets his arms up, but the thwap of the Kendo Stick echoes throughout the building. Jones swings his second Kendo stick, lower, hitting Xavier in the ribs, dropping to one knee. Cross throws both his arms out to absorb the blows, to avoid keeping them from hitting his head. With each strike, the red marks on Cross’s arms get redder and redder. Jones swings low again, aiming for the ribs, but Cross traps one Kendo Stick under his arm, Jones swings the other, Cross catches it under his, other arm. Stepping up, and forward Cross throws a vicious headbutt, and, another, and another. Both him and Jones stand there dazed for a moment, before both staggering backwards, Cross gets a Kendo stick away from Jones. Cross bounces off the ropes, charging forward swinging wildly with the Kendo Stick, Jones ducks slapping Cross, across the back with his own Kendo Stick, the impact echoes through the arena.}Vasco Dias: “Jesus, Jones is beating the hell out of Cross with those wooden swords.”
Roberto Verona: “Much like the ancient samurai, Alex Jones lives by a code.”
Terri Morasco: “And that code is to bust Xavier open tonight.”
{Spinning around, the two men connect with their Sticks, to a stalemate in the center of the ring, Cross bumps his shoulder into Jones push the two men away. Jones swings low, as Cross leaps over, Cross swings high and Jones ducks, before putting his foot into the stomach of Xavier Cross, causing Cross to fall backwards, in between the ropes he rebounds forward swinging the Kendo stick with all his might. Jones barely gets his hands up as Cross takes him off his feet with a hard strike. Looking around, Cross nods his head, motioning for the fans to get on their feet before sliding out of the ring, opening the ring apron digging for something.}Vasco Dias: “Cross has that look of malicious intent…”
Roberto Verona: “For the silliness Cross has been up to lately, he has a creative way to inflict pain on his opponents.”
Terri Morasco: “And with who knows what’s under that ring, he can fully express his creativity.”
{Cross reaches down, finding a familiar black baseball bat. Rubbing it, he smiles, looking up towards the crowd, a strange look of happiness Cross his face as he takes a few practice swings. The crowd begins to erupt, Jones is on his feet. Jones is charging forward, a suicide dive through the ropes. But Cross cracks Jones with the baseball bat to the side of the shoulder. Jones hits the floor below in a thud, clutching his shoulder. Cross looks down, then around before dropping the baseball bat and begins running around the outside of the ring, tagging each corner of the security barricade.}Roberto Verona: “....Jesus Christ…”
Terri Morasco: “Listen to this crowd! Cross is putting on a show.”
Vasco Dias: “Look at the little scamp go! Home Run!”
{Cross makes his way back to Jones, but Jones hits a drop toe hold sending Cross face first into the steel steps. Managing to get his arms up just in time, to avoid impact to his head. Jones gets up, holding his shoulder, looking around. Jones returns his gaze to the ring apron, before stumbling over to dig through the weapon treasure trove. The fans damn near blow the roof off when they see him pull a table out from underneath the apron, setting it to the side, he shakes his head. Reaching deeper he grabs a black steel chair. Clutching it in his hands, he looks over at Cross, who is picking himself up on the steel steps. Jones staggers over his shoulder still looking hurt, as he swings the chair down. Cross manages to get out of dodge as Jones smashes the chair against the steel steps. Cross picks himself up charging into Jones with a high knee, followed by a flurry of punches, before pushing Jones back in the ring. Cross leans down, grabbing the chair chucking it over the ropes and into the ring. Looking over at the table, he nods his head, before walking over, setting it up.}Vasco Dias: “This is supposed to be first blood, not a tables match.”
Roberto Verona: “It would be easier to incapacitate your opponent before cutting their heads open. Makes it easier.”
Terri Morasco: “Remind me to never piss you off Boss.”
{The table is set up a few feet away from the ring apron, as Cross looks into the ring before sliding in himself. Jones is rolling over, still clutching his shoulder. Cross looks around, setting the chair up in the middle of the ring. Walking over, he leans down grabbing Jones by the hair, sending a hard shot to the skull of Alex Jones. But Jones battles back, sending a right, and a left into the stomach of Cross. Cross leans over, as Jones throws a hard elbow to the side of Xavier’s head. Cross stumbles, holding himself up with the open chair. Jones charges back, bouncing off the ropes, looking for the flash back. But as he leaps, Cross throws the chair up, hitting Jones in the stomach who comes crashing down on top of it. Clutching his stomach, Jones staggers over to the corner. Cross drops to the mat, rolling out of the ring. He pushes a camera man over, as he leans down grabbing the steel steps, picking them up, throwing it over the ring ropes in an impressive display of strength. Rolling into the ring, Cross looks over Jones who’s in the corner still clutching his stomach. Picking the steps up, Cross shoves them in between the ring ropes. Jones picks himself up, as Xavier charges forward hitting a big Corner Splash. Jones staggers out, but Cross grabs him by the hand, sending him across the ring back first into the steel steps. Jones turns around clutching his back before falling onto his ass, leaning his head against the steps. Cross looks around, fired up he goes across the ring to the turnbuckle staring across the ring at Jones. He begins singing as the crowd starts to pick up behind him.}Roberto Verona: “We actually had to buy rights to that song…”
Vasco Dias: “Time for a little afternoon delight...into the steps?!”
Terri Morasco: “Cross is going to crush Alex Jones’s skull!”
{Once the fans get to the sound effect part of the song, Cross charges forward aiming his afternoon delight head kick at Alex Jones. But Jones dives out of the way, as Cross’s foot goes right into the steel steps, hanging his foot there in the ropes, trapped. He flings his arms up and down like a wild animal as Jones holds onto the ropes, picking himself up once more realizing he dodge a huge bullet there. Reaching over, Jones grabs the steel chair, looking at Cross. Jones bounces off the ropes to gain momentum before hitting a baseball slide drop kick, with the chair in between, damn near tacking Cross’s head off. The ref checks, but no blood has been spilt. Jones ducks out of the ring, headed to find something that may finally bust Cross open. Throwing the apron back, he looks over at the table, nodding his head. He reaches deep under the ring, pulling out a second table. The fans go wild as he slides it into the ring. Xavier has managed to get his foot unstuck, as he picks himself up charging at Alex before he can get the table set up. Throwing a lefts and rights, Cross backs Jones into the corner.}Terri Morasco: “Jesus, these two men are finding new ways to hurt each other!”
Vasco Dias: “They’ve both talked about how they’ve spent almost an entire career doing this to each other, so what’s one more match?”
Roberto Verona: “This is more of a fight, than a match.”
{Jones grabs Cross by the face, turning the tables, throwing stiff low kicks, before a hard elbow that dazes Cross. Jones whips Cross out of the corner and into the ropes. Cross rebounds, Jones sends a hard kick right into Xavier’s midsection before grabbing him. Jones steps to the side, lining it up. The chair still set up from earlier. Jones hits Cross with a snap suplex, the chair crumbles under the impact of Xavier’s back. Who lays on the ground bridging upwards clutching his back. Jones sits up, shaking his head looking back at the table, deciding to set it up in the center of the ring.}Vasco Dias: “Listen to this crowd, it’s deafening!”
Roberto Verona: “Bloodsport sells…”
Terri Morasco: “These two are putting on a performance for the ages tonight.”
{Jones looks around, seeing Cross still holding his back in pain. He looks at the table, then the second table, then looks upwards. A sick smile comes across his face as he drops to the ground, rolling out of the ring again. Reaching underneath the apron, he finds exactly what he’s looking for. A large, steel ladder. The fans are on their feet, chanting anything and everything that can come to mind. Jones slides the ladder in, as Cross is picking himself up to his knees, looking at Jones. Cross realizes the danger of the weapon as he charges forward, hitting Jones with a spear tackle, into, and through the ropes! Both men spill to the outside, clawing their way at each other, both men are on their knees, exchanging rights, ignoring the suicide dive they just took together. Each man lands a blow, a pure offensive exchange as they get to their feet, still standing strong throwing punches at one another. Jones ducks a punch, and gets behind Xavier, pushing him towards the ring post. Cross catches the post slinging himself around, into the ring, catching Jones in the side of the head with a kick. Jones staggers into the barricade, Cross is on the apron, leaping forward, but Jones side steps, and pushes Xavier stomach first onto the barricade. Jones looks around taking a few steps back. He gets a running start, leaping onto the barricade, hitting a huge leg drop on the back of Xavier, as they both fall onto the unprotected concrete and spill into the crowd.}Roberto Verona: “Looks like security will earn their paychecks tonight…”
Vasco Dias: “This has been a slobberknocker and yet neither man is busted open yet...now the fight is spilling into the crowd, no telling what could happen!”
Terri Morasco: “It seems whenever one of the fighters gets an advantage, the other turns it around and ups the violence.”
Roberto Verona: “That’s what it’s all about, being the best, and you can’t be the best without taking your game to the next level.”
{Jones reaches down grabbing a handful of Cross’s hair, dragging him through the crowd, up the steps. Cross throws a hard elbow into Jones’s stomach, before walking over to the steps, running Jones’s face across the guard rail, he keeps his hand in Jones’s hair, turning him around throwing him towards the barricade. Jones reverses it throwing Cross into, and over the barricade wth tremendous force. Jones stops for a minute, taking a deep breath before running towards the barricade, he leaps. But Cross is up, hitting a snap european uppercut, sending Jones’s limp on the ground. Both men are on the ring floor, out of he crowd. Cross is staggering backwards. Looking at the ladder, and then the table. Leaning down, he grabs Jones dragging him over to the table. Cross helps Jones to his feet, sending a hard right jab, followed by a left, and another right, and then a left, then a hard low kick to the left leg. Before hitting another european uppercut, Jones staggers falling back onto the table. He’s now laying across it. Cross looks at the table and Jones, then at the ladder. Smiling, he slides into the ring, and starts ascending the ladder, back to Jones.}Roberto Verona: “What the hell is that nutjob doing?”
Vasco Dias: “That was the B/S/T combo...which means…”
Terri Morasco: “Moonsault….off the top of the ladder….through Alex and the table...that’s on the outside? That’s easily a twenty foot drop!”
Vasco Dias: “Jesus Christ, Cross is insane.”
{The ladder is set up at the edge of the ring, in between the table outside, with Alex Jones laying across it. The second table is on the far edge, inside the ring. Cross ascends the ladder slowly. His body aching. He pushes himself to the top, turning around he grins at the crowd before winking at Roberto Verona, he looks down at the table...Alex Jones is gone! Alex Jones is in the ring, he’s climbing the other side of the ladder. Cross turns around, seeing his opponent before Alex cracks him in the head with a hard right. Cross nearly falls backwards, but grabs Alex’s arm to hold himself up. The two men start assaulting each other at the top of the ladder. Right hands from both men, neither one giving an inch. One blow after the other, exchanging shots.}Vasco Dias: “Jesus Christ! Get down from there!”
Terri Morasco: “Business is picking up…”
Roberto Verona: “I believe we will see something very interesting here.”
{Jones gets the advantage, taking a step forward he tries to grab Cross looking for a suplex, he begins lifting but Cross blocks it, hooking his leg on the ladder. Cross gains momentum, taking a step up the ladder, trying his own suplex. But Jones’s blocks it. Both men are standing at the highest point of the ladder on either side. Staring at each other for a moment, before sending a hard right at one another. The blows strike at the same time, as both men seemed dazed. Both men...fall backwards. Jones flies backwards landing through the table inside the ring. Cross’s leg barely misses the rope, falling backwards through the table outside. Both tables explode into splinters during impact as both men are laid out.}IWF Crowd: “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
Terri Morasco: “Jesus...we need to get help out here, there is no way either man survived that.”
Vasco Dias: “Alex Jones and Xavier Cross just dragged each other to hell...What will these two men do to pick up a win?!”
Roberto Verona: “This is Imperial Wrestling, you do whatever it takes.”
{Both men are stirring, obviously in pain. Jones reaches out grabbing the ropes, trying to hoist himself up. Cross is dragging himself out of the debri of table pieces. Jones looks up, soaking the fans in before returning to his feet. Staggering forward he knocks the ladder over which folds up on the ground. Cross is pulling on the ring apron, trying to lift himself up. Jones leans down, looking to grab Xavier by the hair. But Cross hits Jones across the shoulder with the baseball bat from earlier. Jones staggers back, clutching his already injured shoulder as Cross uses the bat as a makeshift cane, forcing himself to his feet. Sliding into the ring, he drops the bat. As he stares at Alex for a moment, as he waves his hands to the IWF crowd. Alex, still clutching his shoulder laughs at Cross. Cross charges forward, but Jones hits a leaping enziguri, Cross turns inside out, landing right on the ladder. He tries to stir but he’s still in a daze. Jones looks around, grabbing the steel chair...He thinks about hitting Cross with it. But sets it up right in front of the ladder, where Xavier is face down. Jones bounces off the ring ropes, leaping onto the chair, then the air, then his foot comes down with The Flashback, curb stomp. Xavier’s face bounces off the ladder.}Vasco Dias: “THAT HAS TO BE IT!”
Roberto Verona: “That was a little impressive…”
{Alex staggers, falling against the ropes, as Xavier picks his head up. The ref turns to check him, but Xavier turns his face away. Looking into the IWF Camera’s we can clearly see he is busted wide open. He stares at Verona sitting at the broadcast booth, as the blood slowly pours from the wound on his head. Verona stands up from the booth, as the ref turns seeing Cross’s face, before calling the match. Cross scoots over, clutching his head, looking at the blood, dangling his legs from ring ropes. His eyes glazed over from the impact as Verona and Cross stare each other down.}Terri Morasco: “Xavier Cross showed some guts out here tonight, but in the end, the Joker in the Pack proved he could still be hardcore.”
Vasco Dias: “Helluva match though….Look at the carnage, and this stare down between the Boss and Cross.”
{“The Fire” by Archie Wilson hits the P.A. as Alex clutches his shoulder, rolling out of the ring, he walks over to Cross who is just staring, with a stone cold look on his face at Verona, who just folds his arms and is watching. Jones looks at Cross, before holding his hand out. Cross breaks the staring match with Verona, looking at Jones. Cross ducks under the ropes, sliding out to stare at Jones now. The two men get nose to nose. Before Cross starts laughing, patting Jones on the chest with his bloodied hand. Jones looks a little grossed out, before Xavier grabs Alex Jones’s hand, holding it up. Verona nods his head, as he begins to clap. Xavier looks at Jones, before giving Verona the finger again, charging. Jones grabs Cross holding him back, as security steps forward between Verona and Xavier Cross. Xavier looks reenergized, but Jones is doing a decent job of holding him back. Verona calmly watches, as he backs away. Security creating a barrier between the two men. Jones pulls Cross away, trying to talk some sense into him. Once Verona is gone, Jones and Cross, the two IWF superstars make their way out of the arena to the back.}Vasco Dias: “Cross really wants a piece of Verona.”
Terri Morasco: “He just went through hell, and Verona is one of the best, plain and simple, but Cross doesn’t care….he just wants to fight.”
Vasco Dias: “More importantly, you know Alex Jones will be watching closely at tonight’s title fight between The God Angel, vs The Flash, Mike Lazslo.”
Terri Morasco: “Did you notice how friendly Jones and Cross seemed after that match?”
Vasco Dias: “It’s hard to shake the hand of a man who just busted you open and put you through hell. But maybe it’s time those two finally buried the hatchet?”

MAN OF STEEL TITLE MATCH
Renee Pleasant (c) vs Bob Pooler
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Vance: The following match is a Man of steel title 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, Amber Richards by his side, smirking at the crowd as a chorus of cheers rise up.
Reñee shrugs and walks down the ramp with purpose, the IWF Man of steel championship over his shoulder, he jumps up onto the apron and holds down the middle rope for amber before he 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: Introducing first, accompanied by Amber Richards, he is the IWF Man of steel champion, standing 6'7 from Essex England...RENEEEE PLEASANT
Vasco Dias: Renee looks all healed and ready to go. He's held that Man of steel belt for a long time and doesn't want to give it up.
Terri Morasco: Renee came so close in the Heir to the throne and many say he should be the one challenging Angel not Mike Laszlo later tonight
{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. 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.}Alison Vance: Standing in the ring; from Manchester, New Hampshire; weighing in at two hundred and twenty-eight pounds … Bob … POOOOOLER!
Terri Morasco: It's great to see Bob Pooler back in an IWF ring...
Vasco Dias: He was the Cruiserweight champion and was one of the best guys in the company...
{The bell rings and Bob ducks Renee's first wild swing, he lays in some hard kicks to Renee's knee, Renee swings again and Bob runs to the ropes before hitting a hard low dropkick sending Knee down to one knee, Bob uses his speed and grabs Renee by the hair laying in hard European uppercuts while Renee is down. He hits Renee over and over and Renee then smiles and shoves Pooler back to the ropes, Pooler leaps as he whips off the ropes and hits a shining wizard taking Renee down on his back. Pooler gets to his feet and turns around to find Renee already getting up holding his jaw with a smile.
Pooler lays in some hard kicks as fast as he can before some brutal right hands. He goes for a roundhouse to Renee's chest, Renee catches Poolers leg and as he goes to stand up Pooler leaps up and enzugiri's Renee in the back of the head sending him down to one knee again, Pooler pops up, turns and hits Renee with a second shining wizard.}Terri Morasco: Pooler is dominating Renee with his speed...
Vasco Dias: He needs to find a way to keep Renee down.
Terri Morasco: A dumptruck full of sand?....
{Renee again goes to get up, Pooler gets to the top rope and leaps off with a crossbody, Renee catches Bob, flings him onto his shoulder going for a powerslam, Pooler kicks it legs and lands behind Renee before leaping up and bringing Renee down with a leaping reverse STO. Renee's head bounces off the mat and the referee starts the count as Renee stays down for a moment. 1....2...3...4...Renee gets up and shakes his head out, Pooler can't believe it and runs in grabbing Renee in a guillotine choke, Renee pushes Pooler backwards and Bob flies forward with a superkick he calls the Dr. Teeth, gets hit with the kick and instead of going down just rubs his jaw and shakes his head at Bob waving a finger with a smile.}Vasco Dias: I just...Renee Pleasant is a beast, he takes shot after shot and he can just keep coming...
Terri Morasco: Well you spend your entire life fighting I guess so...this match has been rather one sided...
Vasco Dias: Yes but Pooler can't believe what is happening, he's faster but that speed will disappear as he gets tired, Renee's body seems resistant to the attacks...
{Pooler steps back and then rung, Renee goes for a clothesline but Pooler is able to duck under and run to the ropes springing back with a dropkick, it hits Renee in the chest and he stumbles back, Pooler goes for the high velocity hug (spear), Renee catches him and picks him up on his shoulder, Pooler again slides down and turns but this time Renee hits a hard left hand sending Pooler down. Renee steps around Pooler who stumbles to get up looking in a daze, he turns just in time to see a big boot coming from Renee, Pooler ducks and slides from the ring just in time and Renee stops as the crowd boo's}Vasco Dias: Renee was going to take Poolers head off...
Terri Morasco: Pooler was smart right there
{Renee slides from the ring and Pooler runs around and slides back in, he sprints to the side Renee is on and launches himself with a suicide dive connecting with Renee pushing him back first into the barricade, Renee holds his back in pain and Pooler climbs on the apron he tries to hit a punt kick on Renee but Renee catches Bob's foot and flings it back under him causing Bob to spiral down and slam into the ring apron face first}Terri Morasco: WOW!
Vasco Dias: If Pooler hit that Renee may have ended up being knocked out.
Terri Morasco: Or...maybe not...Renee has an uncanny ability to take shots to the head and not go down...
Vasco Dias: You mean like Homer Simpson?....
Terri Morasco: I...what?
Vasco Dias: See Homer ended up boxing and he had this fluid to protect his brain and-
Terri Morasco: You need serious help....
{Pooler rolls into the ring and Renee follows, he waits for Pooler to get up and slams in a few hard rights and lefts to Pooler midsection before throwing him into the corner. He then places his foot on Poolers throat and pushes back before letting Pooler go and then hitting ahard Double snap DDT. Poolers head bounces off the mat as the referee counts 1....2.....3....4....5....6...Pooler is able to get to one kne, as Renee comes in Pooler rolls and spins on his heels, he goes for a leaping enzugiri but Renee ducks, he grabs Pooler like a ragdoll and whips him into the ropes before hitting his big boot, Pooler goes down hard, the referee counts again 1...2.....3...4....5.....6....7...Pooler gets to his feet again.}Vasco Dias: Wow Bob Pooler is tough...
Terri Morasco: This has been a back and forth battle Vasco....

Terri Morasco: Pooler put up a fight but Renee was able to take all that punishment from a smaller, faster man and win!
{The referee hands Renee the Man of steel title, he flings it over his shoulder as Amber slides in and jumps into his arms for a kiss before Renee holds a fist in the air.}----------------------------------------------------------

IWF DIAMONDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Amber Richards vs Eternity(c)
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Our next match may be one of the most anticipated matches on the whole card. It’s no secret that Amber Richards and Eternity hate each other on a very personal level.
Terri Morasco: Which really ups the emotion for each of them going into this match. Not only are they two of the best competitors on the roster, their wrestling over the top prize in the industry and they genuinely don’t like each other.
Vasco Dias: I’m anticipating a long grueling match, I don’t think there will be anything easy about this match.
{ "King of my world (queen remix)" by saliva blasts 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. }Vasco Dias: Amber Richards has been a star from the moment she set foot in IWF. She stood out among the other Diamonds when she refused to show off her goods. She rocketed to the Ruby title and sky rocketed to the Diamonds title where she became the only Diamond to ever pin Jessica Reed.
Terri Morasco: A claim she can still can make to this day as Jessica Reed has been undefeated since then.
Vasco Dias: Amber Richards, love her or hate her is a pillar of the division, a face of the franchise and she’s looking to become the only Diamond in history to hold the championship twice.
Terri Morasco: However her path back to greatness leads right to Eternity an equally dominant and prominent star in the Diamonds division. Eternity has been here since day one and she’s always been near the top of the pack. It took here almost a year to capture that championship and I don’t think she’d even let death take it from her.
Vasco Dias: We’re about to find out.
{ 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. } Vasco Dias: You can feel the emotion permeating out of the ring.
Terri Morasco: So many raw nerves right now, you just know this is going to be a war.
Vasco Dias: I’m looking forward to it.
{ Alison Valance steps into the ring for introductions. }Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit it is for the IWF DIAMONDS CHAMPIONSHIP!!! To my left, she is the challenger hailing from Norwich, England… AMBER RICHARDS!
{ Amber steps out of her corner and throws her hands up to a mixed reaction. }Alison Valance: To my right she is the reigning and defending champion, hailing from the otherside… ETERNITY!!!
{ Eternity giggles at the announcement and skips to the center of the ring to meet Amber for a hand shake. Amber reluctantly reaches out and Eternity jumps forward and scoops her up for a big hug. }Vasco Dias: Looks like she didn’t get the memo about not wanting to be friends.
Terri Morasco: Or she doesn’t care.
{ Amber face palms Eternity and shoves her back as Alison ducks out of the ring and the referee calls for the bell. }Vasco Dias: Here we go!
{ They immediately tie it up in the center of the ring. Amber moves in for a side head lock but Eternity dips behind her and takes a fist full of hair and rips back on it pulling Amber onto her back. The referee moves in to warn her but Eternity skips to the side of Amber and gleefully kicks her in the side of the head as she tries to get up. }Vasco Dias: Eternity is skipping right past the pleasantries and going right for the brutality.
Terri Morasco: I didn’t think we’d see much actual wrestling, I figured this would be more of a fight.
{ Amber gets to her feet as the referee warns Eternity, Amber runs at her and the referee moves just as she connects with a forearm smash that knocks Eternity into the corner. Amber grabs the ropes and begins to kick Eternity in the stomach over and over again. She holds onto the ropes and drives her boot heel into the throat of Eternity and lets out a scream as she chokes her in the corner. The referee counts to four and she pulls her boot away, she goes to move but then turns back around and slams into Eternity with a clothes line. }Vasco Dias: Amber is showing a bit of a darkside here.
Terri Morasco: We’ve seen it before, we should of expected it.
Vasco Dias: Eternity seems to be enjoying it.
{ Amber steps back and hits a massive knife edge chop to the WOOO of the crowd and Eternity laughs and asks for another. Amber hits her again and then again and a fourth time and Eternity laughs the whole time. Amber kicks her hard in the gut and spins her around shoulder first into the ring post! }Vasco Dias: Shoulder first into the post!
{ Amber steps back as Eternity pulls herself out of the ropes. Amber runs at her full steam but Eternity drops the shoulder and back drops Amber over the top rope and out onto the apron. Amber lands on her feet and hits Eternity with an elbow across the jaw. Amber grabs the ropes and sling shots herself into the ring looking for a clothes line but Eternity catches her and swings her down into a side slam! }Vasco Dias: Eternity just plucked her right out of the air.
Terri Morasco: Say what you want about her mental state, she’s a very capable wrestler.
{ Amber tries to get right up but Eternity grabs her from behind with a release tiger suplex right onto the back of Amber’s head. Eternity is up and Amber isn’t far behind. Amber throws a wild clothes line but Eternity gets under it and spins her around into a Devil Lock DDT! Eternity turns her over for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Early pin fall attempt after that ddt but not even close to enough to put Amber down.
{ Eternity pulls Amber up to her feet and goes to send her into the ropes but Amber reverses it and pulls her in for a short arm clothes line. Amber pulls her up and hits a hip toss, Eternity sits up and Amber connects with the float over neck breaker on the seated Eternity. Amber covers her. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Going tit for tat in the opening minutes by neither is getting a ton of momentum going.
Vasco Dias: Momentum is going to be the name of the game here, if one of them can get on a tear and shatter their opponents confidence it may be the only hope they have of winning.
{ Amber backs into the corner as Eternity starts to get to her feet. Amber blazes across the ring and hits a high impact running yakuza kick that sends Eternity flipping over backward face first onto the mat. Eternity starts to push herself up, Amber bounces off the ropes and jumps into the air and drops both knees onto the back of Eternity’s skull and drives her face into the mat. Amber rolls her over and covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: That double knee drop would have been more than enough to end most matchs.
Terri Morasco: Unfortunately for Amber, Eternity isn’t most people.
{ Amber pulls Eternity up to her feet and sets her up for Bloody Murder but Eternity swings behind her and rolls Amber up! ONE! TWO! Amber kicks out and they both get to their feet and Eternity ducks the clothes line and pulls Amber into a back slide pin. ONE! TWO! Amber kicks out and they get to their feet and Eternity gets around here again for a school boy pin! ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Eternity just trying to ware Amber out.
Terri Morasco: Or annoy her.
{ Amber looks frustrated as she gets back to her feet, Eternity looks for a swinging neck breaker but Amber pushes her off, Eternity turns into the SUPERKICK! Amber quickly covers her. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: She nailed a very frustrated super kick but Eternity was able to kick right out.
Terri Morasco: She needs to keep the pressure on if she wants that Diamonds Championship.
{ Amber pulls Eternity up by her hair and throws her across the ring by her hair. Eternity skids and tries to roll to the apron and that’s where Amber hits the drop kick that sends Eternity spilling off the apron to the outside. Amber is right up and runs across the ring, she comes back and looks to dive to the outside but Eternity moves and she crashes and burns into the guard rail! }Vasco Dias: Crash and burn!
{ Eternity is right on her and pulls her up to her feet and shoves her hard into the ring steps. Eternity stomps Amber hard as she lays against the steps five times before pulling her back to her feet, spinning her around and throwing her back into the steps. }Vasco Dias: The outside of the ring is Eternity’s playground.
Terri Morasco: You’ve got to wonder if she’d risk disqualification just to have some fun?
Vasco Dias: She just may.
{ Eternity peels her off the steps and picks her up on her shoulders and runs her down the side of the apron and slams her back first into the ring post. Eternity backs up and then drives her into the post again. Eternity backs up and slams her into the post a third time. Eternity grips her tight and then throws Amber over her shoulder with a release belly to belly suplex! Amber lands hard on the mat as Eternity quickly rolls in and out of the ring to disrupt the count. }Vasco Dias: I’m not entirely sure the referee would count Eternity out to begin with but she still restarted the count.
Terri Morasco: I don’t think she wants to walk out of here tonight with anything less than a win.
{ Amber rolls onto her hands and knees and Eternity pulls her up off the mat with a pump handle gut buster onto her knee, she holds tight and picks her up in the pump handle position and turns and then throws her over her head onto the ramp! }Vasco Dias: Eternity with a release over head pump handle slam.
Terri Morasco: She’s scary strong.
{ Eternity pulls Amber up and rams her back first into the ring apron then picks her up for a scoop slam and drops her on the apron. }Vasco Dias: She’s definitely using her strength to her advantage.
{Eternity rolls in under the bottom rope and pulls Amber to her feet. Eternity throws her into the corner and runs in after her, Amber kicks up her feet and catches Eternity in the jaw, Amber runs out of the corner and hits a big clothes line. Eternity pops right back to her feet but Amber hits a swinging neck breaker on her. Amber nips up and lets out a roar as Eternity gets to her feet, Amber is right behind her for a release German suplex! }Vasco Dias: Amber is getting the momentum back on her side.
Terri Vasco: But you’ve got to wonder how much damage Eternity did to her back on the outside of the ring.
Vasco Dias: She doesn’t seem to be showing any damage at the moment.
{ Eternity is quick to her feet and Amber connects with several hard elbows to the side of her face and then grabs her by the hair and drives her forehead straight on into Eternity’s face! Eternity falls back into the corner and Amber runs in with the double knee smash into the corner, she holds onto Eternity and throws her weight back and pulls Eternity down into a monkey flip! }Vasco Dias: This resilience we are seeing is exactly why Amber has been such a dominant force in the Diamond’s division for so long.
Terri Morasco: She’ll fight through hell and high water to get that belt back.
{ Eternity sits up as Amber seems to stumble and grip at her back. Eternity stands and Amber hits a cross body block and takes Eternity down and hooks the leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Amber is right back up and pulls Eternity up with her, she kicks her in the gut and drives a knee into her face then hits a snap vertical suplex but holds onto her and rolls backward and locks Eternity into a front face lock! }Vasco Dias: Oh wow! Did you see that!?
Terri Morasco: She’s looking good but she keeps favoring her back.
Vasco Dias: All she has to do is ignore it long enough for Eternity to tap out.
{ Eternity kicks her foot out and manages to get the bottom rope. Amber throws her down and then pulls her to her feet and hooks her up for the Blood Murder 2.0! }Vasco Dias: This could be it! Bloody Murder!
{ Amber hooks her leg. ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: No way!
Vasco Dias: Wow… I just… Wow…
{ Amber looks very frustrated and picks Eternity up and goes to lift her for another piledriver but Eternity back drops her! Eternity tries to shake it off as Amber gets to her feet. Eternity comes up behind her with a vicious kick to the back and then pulls her down for a face up back breaker over her knee. Eternity pulls her up and scoops her into the air and drops her over her knee once and then twice and then hits a high angle scoop slam. }Vasco Dias: Eternity going right back to work on that lower back of Amber.
Terri Morasco: How the hell is she still standing after that piledriver?
Vasco Dias: I’m not sure.
{ Eternity picks her up and kicks her right in the stomach to double her over and hits the LAST RITES! }Vasco Dias: No way Amber is getting up from that.
{ Eternity hooks her leg and covers Amber, ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Are you kidding me!?
Terri Morasco: Amber kicked out of the Last Rites!
{ Eternity isn’t laughing now as she peels Amber off the mat and throws her hard into the corner.

Eternity hits the mat hard, they both pop back up to their feet and Amber connects with a standing drop kick right to Eternity’s face. }Vasco Dias: Amber is back in control after reversing the Burning Angel.
Terri Morasco: She’s digging deep for this match, really pulling out all the stops.
Vasco Dias: In this kind of match with what’s at stake you have to.
{ Eternity starts to get up but Amber hits a running kick to the mid section and several hard forearm shivers before twisting around for a back fist that really staggers Eternity. Amber hooks Eternity around the neck and drives her knee into her face several times before hitting an implant ddt that has Eternity standing straight up on her head before falling over onto her back. }Vasco Dias: A vicious ddt from Amber Richards.
{ Amber grabs Eternity for an ankle lock but she quickly makes her way to the ropes. Eternity pulls herself up on the apron as Amber comes off the ropes and hits a SPEAR!!! Both women go flying off the apron and onto the arena floor! }Vasco Dias: SPEAR!!!!
{ The crowd chants “HOLY SHIT!” }Terri Morasco: I’m with the crowd, HOLY S***!
Vasco Dias: Amber Richards took her life into her own hands right there all for a single victory but will it pay off?
{ Amber is up and holding her back as the crowd chants. She pulls Eternity to her feet and runs her face first into the ring post and then picks her up for a German suplex and drops Eternity back first over the guard rails! }Vasco Dias: Oh my god!
{ Eternity lays awkwardly against the rails as Amber climbs up onto the apron and runs down the length of it and flies off with a double knee smash on Eternity as she lays up against the guard rails, the weight of both women knocking the guard rails down! }Vasco Dias: Jesus! Amber just took out Eternity and the guard rails!
Terri Morasco: These women are killing each other right now!
Vasco Dias: IWF has hands down the best women’s wrestling in the entire world and Amber Richards and Eternity are giving you exactly that, the best women’s wrestling in the world.
Terri Morasco: Forget the women’s part, the best wrestling in the world period.
{ Amber stumbles to her feet as the fans pat her on the back, she pulls Eternity up and walks her back to the ring and rolls her in under the bottom rope. Amber climbs in and covers her. ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: And even after all that Eternity still finds the strength to kick out.
Terri Morasco: You have to wonder how much more these two can take.
Vasco Dias: I’m guessing just as much as they can give, at least.
{ Amber pulls Eternity up and hits a hard right hand, Eternity connects with her own, they start going back and forth with right hands before Eternity connects with an especially hard one.

Amber bounces back up and is about to fall over when Eternity pulls her into Eternal Rest! Eternity covers her but doesn’t hook her leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Their running low on gas as you can see but Amber still got her shoulder up.
Vasco Dias: I’m amazed by both of these women, how could ever say they aren’t as good as the men if not better is beyond me.
Terri Morasco: Easily the match of the night so far.
{ Both women are very slow to stand as Eternity has just about exhausted herself. Their up and Amber hits a pump kick and turns and connects with a super kick. Eternity falls into the ropes and Amber runs at her with a clothes line and knocks her out onto the apron. Eternity climbs up and Amber swings but Eternity grabs her for a guillotine over the top rope.

Amber is back up and climbs to the top rope. Eternity stands and Amber leaps off the top but Eternity connects with a standing drop kick! }Vasco Dias: It’s been back and forth this whole match!
Terri Morasco: Everytime either of them gets anything going the other completely throws it off.
Vasco Dias: Both astounding wrestlers.

THREE!!!! }Alison Valance: Your winner and new IWD Diamonds Champion… AMBER RICHARDS!!!!

Terri Morasco: It was an extremely close match and I’d sure love to see these two go at it again.
{ Amber kneels in the center of the ring clutching the championship against her chest. }----------------------------------------------------------
IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mike Laszlo vs GOD(c)
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for our main event!
Terri Morasco: This match has been building for two months ever since the start of the Heir to the Throne tournament.
Vasco Dias: Mike Laszlo fought for the right to face our Imperial Champion, or World Champion depending who you ask and now he’s got his shot.
Terri Morasco: God has been taunting Mike Laszlo since the night he won the Heir to the Throne but Laszlo has not been falling for his games.
Vasco Dias: No he’s really taken the bull by the horns and brought the fight to Angel and his Age of X.
Terri Morasco: Though I wonder if Mike has just dug himself an even deeper grave by tempting God the way he has.
Vasco Dias: We’re about to find out.
{ "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. 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: Is it really a good idea to bring Alexis to the ring with him?
Terri Morasco: I really hope God doesn’t try and get Alexis involved here.
Vasco Dias: It wouldn’t be below him, we know that…
{ The somber tones of "Sail" by DevilDriver hit the PA as the arena is plunged back into darkness. An "X" burning in black and white tones is displayed on the screen as a lone spot light appears on the stage just as the song starts to kick into gear, Angel stands there with his back to the crowd, his arms out in the mock Christ pose, The Brothers Black stand with arms folded to either side. Angel turns to face the crowd and they erupt into a chorus of boos as he sneers and heads to the ring in step with the song, The Brothers following behind and Ana by his side. Angel walks up the steps and quickly climbs up the ropes on the outside, he throws out his arms and tosses his coat to the side as he stands on the top rope, arms out stretched and the arena is blinded in light. Angel jumps down and waits for the match to start as the music comes to a stop. The Brothers circle the outside of the ring like wolves. }Vasco Dias: And of course he brings the crew with him… This just doesn’t look good for Mike.
Terri Morasco: He’s worked hard to be here, I don’t think he’s going to let anything ruin this moment for him.
Vasco Dias: I don’t think he has a say in it.
{ We go to the ring for introductions. Mike stands alone in his corner with Alexis on the floor cheering him on. God stands in his corner with his custom IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP around his waist, Ana and the Brothers on the floor behind him. }Alison Valance: The following match is our main event and it is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit. To my left he is the challenger hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey he is… MIKE LASZLO!!!!
{ Massive pop for Mike Laszlo as he steps forward and throws his hands up for the crowd. He turns to Alexis and gives her a wink as she looks on. }Vasco Dias: Alexis went through a war earlier tonight herself against Ana Valentine, very convenient of God to bring her to ring side as well.
Terri Morasco: I only expect the worst from God these days.
Alison Valance: And to my right he is the reigning and defending IWF WORLD CHAMPION!!!!
Vasco Dias: Self proclaimed World Champion.
Alison Valance: Hailing from Connecticut, he is… GOD!!!!
{ The arena literally shakes with the amount of boos GOD is currently getting as he steps forward, head bowed and his arms out stretched to a cross. }Vasco Dias: Listen to this crowd.
Terri Morasco: They really hate him.
Vasco Dias: Most people do.
{ GOD hands over the belt as both men head back to their corners, the referee holds it up and passes it to Alison before calling for the bell. }Vasco Dias: This is it!
{ Laszlo is right out of his corner and slams into GOD with a forearm smash! GOD stumbles and Laszlo kicks him several times in the gut before taking him over with a snap mare and kicking him straight across the spine. Laszlo pulls him up by the neck and twists him around and throws him into the corner. Laszlo takes the ropes and starts to kick him over and over and over again until GOD drops down in the corner. He backs off and then runs in with a knee to the face of GOD. He pulls him back up to his feet and Welcomes him to the CLE!!! }Vasco Dias: Mike Laszlo is absolutely dominating the opening minutes of this match.
Terri Morasco: He’s got GOD on the run.
{ Mike pulls him right up to his feet and throws him into the rope, he runs in with a clothes line and then quickly hoists him onto the top rope. Mike climbs up with him, he pulls GOD up to the top rope and the crowd goes wild as he then hoists GOD up to a vertical suplex on top rope, he holds him there as the crowd counts all the way to five and then brings him down, not with a super plex but with a SUPER NO MERYC OFF THE TOP! }Vasco Dias: NO MERCY OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Terri Morasco: Oh my god, Laszlo is just kicking his ass!
Vasco Dias: I don’t think God even knows what’s hit him.
{ GOD staggers to his feet and Mike Laszlo comes in right behind him, he twists him around and hits MALICIOUS INTENT! Mike Laszlo hooks the leg as the crowd goes absolutely crazy! }Vasco Dias: MALICIOUS INTENT!!!!
{ The referee counts ONE! }Terri Morasco: I DON’T BELIEVE IT!
{ TWO!!! }Vasco Dias: THE ARENA IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!
{ Ana puts GOD’s foot on the ropes but the referee doesn’t see it. THREE!!!!! }Vasco Dias: HE’S DONE IT!!!! MIKE LASZLO HAS JUST BEATEN GOD FOR THE IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES!!!!
Terri Morasco: I think I’m going to cry…
{ Mike Laszlo can’t believe it as the referee calls for the belt and Alison Valance goes to make the announcement but Ana Valentine rips the microphone out of her hands. }Vasco Dias: Oh now she’s being petty.
Terri Morasco: Of course she is.
{ The referee raises Mike Laszlo’s hand as he hoists the belt over his head, Alexis Caffrey is in the ring and gives him a huge kiss as Ana twists the referee around and begins screaming in his face. }Vasco Dias: Really?
Terri Morasco: She’s upset that her God has fallen.
Vasco Dias: It was bound to happen.
{ GOD gets to his feet as Mike Laszlo continues to celebrate, he too starts to argue with the referee about his foot on the ropes, the referee calls into his head set and the screen shows the last second before the three count and GOD’s foot on the ropes. Mike Laszlo doesn’t see it as GOD smirks. }Vasco Dias: Oh come on! He won, the match is over!
Terri Morasco: I don’t think it is…
Vasco Dias: I can’t believe what we’re seeing.
{ The Brothers Black storm the ring and attack Mike Laszlo and knock him out of the ring. They follow him out and continue to stomp him as he struggles to get away from them. GOD grabs the referee and yells something in his face. }Vasco Dias: What’s going on!?
{ The Brothers pick Mike Laszlo up for a double power bomb and send him crashing through the announce table! }Vasco Dias: SON OF A BITCH!!!
{ The referee whispers something to Alison Valance who then gets her mic back from Ana. }Alison Valance: The referee has decided to reverse his decision and restart this match…
{ The arena nearly pulls itself apart as GOD smirks and the Brothers roll Mike Laszlo back into the ring. }Vasco Dias: He can’t do this!
Terri Morasco: He’s the head of booking, I think he can.
Vasco Dias: Total BS.
{ Laszlo defiantly gets to his feet as GOD waits for the referee to ring the bell for the second time. The referee looks really concerned as Mike Laszlo stands up and yells at GOD “LETS DO THIS!!!! }Vasco Dias: You’ve got to admire Mike Laszlo here but I don’t think he really wants to do this.
Terri Morasco: What other choice does he has?
Vasco Dias: He could run but I guess that really isn’t an option.
Terri Morasco: No it isn’t.
{ The referee shakes his head as he calls for the bell and Mike runs right at GOD but GOD hits him with an arm drag take down. Mike is right up but GOD hits a hip toss on him. Laszlo is defiant and gets to his feet again but GOD kicks him hard in the gut and sends him flipping over himself with a clothes line.

He grips him by the back of the head as he drives his fist into his face over and over again. The referee tries to pull GOD off but he only angers him further. GOD roars to his feet and shoves the referee into the turnbuckles and screams in his face “YOU WORK FOR ME!” He turns back to Laszlo who is sitting up and runs right at him and knees him square in the face.
