{ Monday Night Sacrifice opens to a dark arena as the somber tones of āSailā echo off the walls. The crowd boos through the darkness as we meet the commentators at their table. }Vasco Dias: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, as you can see GOD will be gracing us with his presence soon.
Terri Morasco: Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
Vasco Dias: No I laid it on there pretty thickā¦
{ Slowly his pale painted face takes over the screen as the crowd erupts even more at the very sight of him. }GOD: My childrenā¦
{ His voice booms off the walls though his lips do not move. }GOD: Last week we were all forced to suffer more of our fearless leaderās personal brand of tyranny when he appointed the dear sweet Jessica Reed as the commissioner of IWFā¦
Vasco Dias: Heās calling that tyranny!?
Terri Morasco: Roberto has been torturing Xavier Cross.
Vasco Dias: Cross deserves it.
{ GOD in hales deeply as he continues to speak without speaking. }GOD: He wishes to take from us that which is not his to take. He believes through sheer force of will he can become greater than GOD!
{ Slowly he starts to laugh. }GOD: There is no one greater than GOD. Roberto Verona just like every other usurper before him and after him is just a man suffering from his own delusions of grandeur. Heās as blind as Michael Laszlo and Kyle Mason, as bumbling as Xavier Cross and Renee Pleasant, as pitiful as Cliff Clinton and Bob Pooler. He is a man and if he tests me he will suffer my wrathā¦
{ His laughing suddenly stops. }GOD: Iām not scared of you Verona or your threats. Test me and all you love shall burnā¦ Test me and learn as everyone hasā¦ YOU BELONG TO ME!!!

MAN OF STEEL MATCH
Xavier Cross must wrestle blind folded
Xavier Cross vs Kristoff Liam Bates
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Man of Steel Match in which Xavier Cross, must be blindfolded!
{The intro of "Immortal" starts playing, as smoke starts to well up at the top of the stage. When the drums and guitar kick in, Xavier pops out of the floor, hair dripping wet. He looks around in a daze for a moment, looking towards the crowd getting a mixed reaction. He takes a few steps forward, taking a deep inhale before marching down to the ring, slamming his hand onto his chest.}Alison Valance: "Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, coming to you from Lexington, Virginia....He stands at Six Feet...three inches, weighing in at Two-Hundred, and Thirty One pounds. Xavier.......CROOOOOSSSS!"
{Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesnāt 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.}Terri Morasco: This isnāt very fair.
Vasco Dias: Well, this is what happens when you cross the boss I guess.
Alison Valance: And his opponentā¦
{"They Say Freak...when you're singled out..."
The lights dim and the heavy riff of "The Red" by Chevelle begins to plow through the P.A. The fans are on their feet, not because of the man who is about to come, but more because of what he's associated with. The red tinge of the lights eludes to the blood Kristoff Liam Bates spills as he crawls from behind the curtain, his eyes fixated on the ring.
"The Red....well it filters through.
SO LAY DOWN! The threat is real!
When his sight! Goes Red Again!"
Bates is halfway down the ramp, stalking like he would an opponent, the lights following him as he does so, briefcase at his side.
"Seeing Red Again, Seeing Red Again."}Alison Valance: From Sunnyvale, California, weighing in at 235 poundsā¦KRISTOFF LIAM BATES!
{He slides under the ropes, removes his suitcoat and tie before beating himself once with the briefcase and tossing it out of the ring. He stretches on the ropes as the second verse plays waiting for the bell, and his chance to spill blood.}Vasco Dias: This man is dangerous, and Iām sure he isnāt in a good mood after losing the Invictus Title.
Terri Morasco: I still donāt like the idea of this match. Xavier Cross is going to get hurt here.
Vasco Dias: The guyās been nailed to a crossā¦how much more hurt can he get?
{The referee steps in front of Xavier with the blindfold and proceeds to tie it around the back of his head. The referee then turns and signals for the bell. KLB takes two hard steps toward Xavier who swings wildly and misses as Bates steps off to the side, laughing at his opponent. Xavier swings wildly a few more time and almost hits the referee who ducks and yells at him. Xavier shrugs his shoulders but is then driven into the corner by Batesā shoulder. Bates rams his shoulder into the midsection of Cross a couple more times before grabbing him and Hip-tossing him out of the corner. Cross is quick to his feet and shoots a mule kick behind him, but again, nobody is there. As Cross turns, Bates charges in and nails him with a hard clothesline, taking Cross to the mat.}Terri Morasco: This is crap. The man is blind-folded.
Vasco Dias: Donāt mess with the boss.
{Bates lifts Cross to his feet, grabbing him by the head and twisting him into a Neckbreaker. Cross holds the back of his head as Bates mocks him. Bates waits for Cross to get up and kicks him in the gut before lifting him into the Crucifix Powerbomb, but Cross wriggles free, turns and hits a Chop Block to the back of Batesā knee. Bates goes down and Cross stomps away, first at the mat a few times, and then finally connects a few shots in with Bates before KLB can roll under the rope out of harmās way.}Terri Morasco: Cross showing that heāll go down swinging.
Vasco Dias: Admirableā¦I guess.
{Bates comes in through the other side of the ring and grabs hold of Cross from behind but is met with a back elbow right to the face. With somewhat of a ring presence, Cross bounces off the rope and hits a turning KLB with a Lou Thesz Press and starts pummeling away at the former Invictus Champion.}Terri Morasco: Xavier showing the toughness he has.
Vasco Dias: Bates better get the job done or Verona will be pissed.
{Bates covers up and eventually rolls Cross off of him, getting to their feet, both men charge and hit simultaneous clotheslines.}Terri Morasco: Both men are down.
Vasco Dias: Thanks Captain Obvious.
{Both struggle to their feet and Cross swings wildly, again missing the mark as Bates connects with a series of right hands that rocks Cross back into the ropes. He whips him to the far side and on return, Cross goes for a random clothesline but Bates ducks, Cross going into the ropes again and this time, on return, Bates hits him with a Spinning Spinebuster, grabbing his legs and locking him into his version of the Texas Cloverleafā¦the Pretty Noose. Cross struggles and tries to get out of the hold but realizes that this can all end if he just tapsā¦and he does. The bell rings and Alison announces the winner.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, via submission, KRISTOFF LIAM BATES!
{Bates celebrates the victory.}Terri Morasco: He had no choice. He had no chance.
Vasco Dias: What a bounce back for the former Invictus Champion.
{ Xavier Cross angrily rips off the blind fold as Roberto Verona steps out onto the stage. }Vasco Dias: Looks like Roberto has come out to congratulate Bates.
{ Bates stops as he reaches the top of the ramp, Roberto gives him a golf clap as Cross jumps to his feet and seethes with anger. }Terri Morasco: So youāre trying to tell me you think this is ok?
Vasco Dias: Iām trying to say if Cross wants it to stop then maybe he should grow up and stop blaming all his problems on Verona.
{ Xavier locks eyes with Roberto who smiles smugly from the stage. }----------------------------------------------------------

{We cut backstage to find A Girl Has No Name Robbins smiling into the camera}A Girl Has No Name Robbins: Standing with me tonight is a man who recently did the impossible; physically confronted GOD and broke away from his Age of X!
{The camera widens to show A Girl Has No Name standing beside Bob Pooler. She turns to him with the microphone outstretched.}A Girl Has No Name Robbins: Bob, there were a few cameras that caught the confrontation you had with GOD ā¦
{Bob holds up his hand, stopping her in mid sentence.}Bob Pooler: Angel ā¦ his name is Angel Blake.
{A Girl Has No Name nods her head, her smile faltering for a moment.}A Girl Has No Name Robbins: So we managed to catch video of your confrontation with ā¦
{Bob smiles and nods his head at her encouragingly}A Girl Has No Name Robbins: ā¦ with you and Angel. Thereās no audio, so can you enlighten us to what was said?
{Bob smiles and wipes the back of his hand across his mouth.}Bob Pooler: Long story short, A Girl Has No Name, I emancipated myself after having put up with more than my fair share of insanity. They want to paint me as a deserter, as someone unworthy enough to help forward his cockamamie cause. What theyāre failing to grasp is that Angel is just making stuff up as he goes along.
{He nods his head, chuckling}Bob Pooler: Heās no more a leader than Valentine is a lady. If you really want to get to the dirty dirty of it all, A Girl Has No Name ā Angel has reached a point where he needs to either shit or get off the pot.
{A Girl Has No Name lets out a small gasp, pulling the microphone away to follow up with another question.}A Girl Has No Name Robbinson: Arenāt you afraid of retaliation from the rest of the Age of X?
{Bob laughs out loud, looking over his shoulder jokingly.}Bob Pooler: Afraid? Iād be surprised if they didnāt try something tonight before my six man tag match. But, if it isnāt tonight itāll be next week so why donāt we just cut through all the biblical mumbo jumbo and get this over with, eh? Angel, I donāt care who you send my way ā be it St. Croix, Valentine or even the Blacks; do everyone a favor and just let āem come. You want to retaliate?

SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
Mike Laszlo, Bob Pooler and Cliff Clinton vs Kevin Evel, Judas Alliah and Alioth Starre
----------------------------------------------------------
{ āIn Your Furā 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.
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.
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. }Vasco Dias: Itās no secret GOD doesnāt like any of the three men who are about to come out so you have to wonder if this is some sort of punishment on his part.
Terri Morasco: Iād say so, why else put them in the ring with three of IWFās newest stars, all three of which have shown themselves to be extremely dominant if not down right brutal.
Vasco Dias: Well for their sake I hope Laszlo, Pooler and Clinton can work together here.
{ 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.
he lights in the arena dim as a three second countdown appears on the jumbotron. The opening guitar riff of "How To Be A Human" hits as the countdown reaches zero and Pooler walks out onto the stage amongst the shower of cellphone flashes. Sporting a smirk, he holds a hand up to his head, shielding his eyes before pointing at a section of the crowd with a smile. Pooler heads down the ramp, breaking into a run and sliding into the ring beneath the bottom rope. He pops back to his feet and heads to the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air to the roar of 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.
"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: The fans have really taken to Mike Laszlo the last few months.
Terri Morasco: Itās hard not to when heās taken such a deviant stand against GOD and his Age of X.
Vasco Dias: And it looks like heās inspiring others to take a stand too, such as Pooler and Kyle Mason and maybe even Clinton here.
Terri Morasco: Itās about time.
{ Judas is starting us off against an equally big man in Cliff Clinton. }Vasco Dias: Look at these two monsters stare each other down.
Terri Morasco: We could be looking at a future Imperial Championship match right here.
{ The two giants move around each other before moving if for a test of strength. Judas quickly takes control as he laughs out loud and bashes his face into Clintonās. Judas takes Clinton and sends him into the ropes, he catches him with a big shoulder block but Clinton doesnāt go down. Clinton instead runs past Judas and bounces off the ropes and comes running back, Judas misses with the clothes line and Clinton bounces off the other ropes and catches Judas right in the face with a massive big boot! }Vasco Dias: And Judas goes down!
{ Clinton hits the ropes and looks for a big elbow drop but Judas rolls out of the way. Judas pops back to his feet and hits the ropes and comes running back at Clinton like a train and crashes into him with a running bear hug! Clinton staggers and Judas goes back to the ropes and comes back with a leaping shoulder block that takes Clinton off his feet! }Terri Morasco: These two big men are jus crashing into each other.
Vasco Dias: Their forces of destruction for sure.
{ Judas takes to the ropes and looks for a boot of his own but Clinton moves and Judas hangs himself up on the top rope, Clinton grabs him from behind and pulls him off the ropes with a neck breaker. Clinton gets to his feet and pulls Judas up to and drives him into the corner with a shoulder block and then tags in Bob Pooler! }Vasco Dias: Pooler is in the ring!
Terri Morasco: The recently freed Pooler.
{ Pooler hops over the ropes and hits several hard knife edge chops, then a European upper cut then switches off between the chops and the upper cuts on Judas until he staggers out of the corner and Pooler hits the step up enzugiri! }Vasco Dias: Pooler is looking great tonight.
Terri Morasco: He looks revitalized.
{ Pooler pulls Judas up to his feet and drives him into the corner with a European upper cut. He backs off and looks for the Hogwarts Express but Judas flies out of the corner and spears Pooler out of mid air! }Vasco Dias: A gut wrenching spear.
Terri Morasco: Judas Alliah is a dangerous individual.
{ Judas walks over to his corner and stares down Starre before tagging in Evel. }Vasco Dias: A menacing glare from Judas to Starre.
Terri Morasco: Future opponents right there, Iām sure neither is happy to be partners here.
Vasco Dias: Certainly not.
{ Kevin bursts across the ring and hits a running knee lift to the side of Poolerās head. He rips Pooler up off the mat and throws him viciously into the corner and charges in with a crazy looking clothes line, he spins around and gets a running start and then hits another clothes line, he runs back and hits another and then a fourth before pulling Pooler out of the corner and driving a knee into his skull and whipping him across the mat. }Vasco Dias: This Evel guy is vicious.
Terri Morasco: I donāt think heās all there.
Vasco Dias: Me either.
{ Evel runs up behind Pooler but Pooler moves and Evel kicks the air and Pooler pulls his legs out from under him. Evel lands on his back and Pooler comes off the ropes and hits a running senton. Pooler nips up as does Evel and Pooler hits him with Dr Teeth!!! }Vasco Dias: DR TEETH!
{ Evel staggers and Pooler grabs him around the neck and runs up the ropes for some sliced bread action! }Terri Morasco: Pooler is back in this.
{ He turns and makes the tag to Laszlo to a huge pop. }Vasco Dias: Here comes the self proclaimed number one contender to GODās championship.
{ Laszlo pulls Evel up to his feet but Evel rakes the eyes of Laszlo and pulls him into a small package where he grabs the tights. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Evel almost stole it!
{ They both get to their feet and Evel stomps Laszlo hard on the foot and then jams his thumb in Mikeās eye. Laszlo staggers and turns and Evel hits a back breaker over his knees on Laszlo. Evel pulls Mike up to his feet and lifts him up for a brain buster. He covers. ONE TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: What does it mean for the main event scene if Evel steals this match?
Terri Morasco: Iām not sure.
{ Evel looks pumped as he pulls Laszlo to his feet but Laszlo connects with a jaw breaker then pops up and hits a big atomic drop. Evel stumbles around and Laszlo picks him up for a high angle spine buster! }Vasco Dias: I spoke to soon, Mike Laszlo is right back in this.
Terri Morasco: You never count Laszlo out.
{ Laszlo picks Evel up and Welcomes him to the CLE!!! Evel is down and Mike cover. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: A close call for Evel but he got his shoulder up.
{ Mike pulls Evel up to his feet and sends him into the ropes, he misses the clothes line and Evel makes the tag to Starre as Evel rolls out of the ring. }Vasco Dias: Aliot Starre, the number one contender to the Invictus Championship is about to get in the ring.
Terri Morasco: This should be interesting.
{ Starre climbs into the ring and he goes to lock up with Laszlo when Judas Alliah mows him down with a running big boot! }Vasco Dias: What the hell!?
{ Laszlo pushes Judas back but Alliah delivered his messaged as he drops down and rolls out of the ring. }Vasco Dias: Judas just sent Starre a message, watch your back!
Terri Morasco: And look at Evel laugh!
{ Kevin drops off the apron laughing as Starre tries to stagger to his feet. Laszlo turns his attention back to Starre and picks him up for Malicious Intent! Mike covers and ONE! TWO! THREE! }Vasco Dias: Well Mike Laszlo picks up the victory for his team but he doesnāt look terribly happy about it.
Terri Morasco: Judas wanted to get that mental advantage over Starre and I think he just did.
Vasco Dias: Unfortunate for Starre.
{ Mike Laszlo, Bob Pooler and Cliff Clinton have their hands raised but Laszlo still looks pretty upset about how the match ended. }Vasco Dias: Laszlo clearly didnāt want to win like that.
{ Laszlo drops his hands when Kevin Evel shoulder blocks the back of Laszloās knee! }Vasco Dias: What is Evel doing!?
{ Evel drags Laszlo out of the ring, Pooler and Cliff turn to look when The Brothers Black hop the barriers and attack Pooler and Cliff with chairs! }Vasco Dias: What is going on!? What is Evel doing!?
Terri Morasco: Heās holding Laszlo back!
{ Evel and Laszlo are outside of the ring, Evel trying to hold onto him as Eddie and Frank lay into Bob and Cliff with steel chairs! }Vasco Dias: This is madness!
Terri Morasco: Is Evel with the Age of X?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea.
{ Eddie and Frank stand over Pooler and Cliff when Kyle Mason comes flying down the ramp with a chair of his own, Laszlo breaks free and slides in but the Brothers drop back and hop back into the crowd. }Vasco Dias: The Brothers sent their little message for GOD and now their leavingā¦ Bastards.
Terri Morasco: What is going on with Evel?
{ Kevin sneers as he walks down the side of the ramp, Laszlo checking on his fallen partners while Kyle keeps a look out. }Vasco Dias: Weāve got to take a break.

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. }Vasco Dias: Ladies and gentlemen weāve got a real treat for you, the following match is a two out of three falls man of steel match and the winner will go on to face Renee Pleasant.

Terri Morasco: Kyle in the mean time has been vying for a chance to take a bite out of the Age of X and this match is his opportunity to do so.
{ 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: Both men are inside the man of steel cage and they look ready to go.

IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Lance Rodd vs GOD(c)
----------------------------------------------------------
{ A pink strobe light comes over the entranceway as Lance Rodd stands with his back to the audience. He spins around as "Turn me on" by David Guetta comes on the PA. He walks down to the ring in a pink robe with white feathers for the trimming. A lollipop in his mouth. He leaps onto the apron and gets in the ring through the top and middle rope, he stops halfway and lays across the rope moving his right hand up and down the rope fast before rolling over into the ring on his knee's in front of the referee, he pops the lollipop out of his mouth and licks the tip of it before popping up to his feet. }Vasco Dias: Letās go ahead and call this what it is, a sacrifice.
Terri Morasco: Normally Iād try and argue with you but GOD is absolutely offering himself a sacrifice tonight.
Vasco Dias: I donāt know if this is some sort of display of power or what but Lance Rodd doesnāt stand a chance in this match and everyone knows it.
Terri Morasco: GOD claims heās giving everyone a fair shot since heās out of challengers but I donāt think thatās true, Alex Jones still has his brief case and itās been months since Renee Pleasant lost a match. Two challengers right there.
Vasco Dias: GOD uses his own logic.
{ 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: Does he really need an armed escort?
Terri Morasco: Absolutely.
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit and it is for the renamed IWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Vasco Dias: I liked Imperial better.
Terri Morasco: Hopefully Roberto will fix it WHEN GOD loses the belt.
Alison Valance: To my left he is the challengerā¦ LANCE RODD!!!
{ A lukewarm response for Lance. }Alison Valance: And to my right he is the reigning and defending IWF WORLD CHAMPIONā¦ GOD!!!!
{ A chorus of boos rain down as GOD throws his arms out and puts himself on display for the crowd. }Vasco Dias: Pompous as-
Terri Morasco: Dias!
{ The bell sounds and GOD explodes right out of his corner with a double axe handle clothes line and lays Rodd out. Lance tries to get up but GOD starts to viciously kick him while he is down. }Vasco Dias: Real sportsman like.
{ GOD kicks Lance hard across the side of the head and then grabs him by his hair and rips him up to his feet. GOD kicks him hard in the gut and spins him around shoulder first right into the ring post. GOD grabs him by the hair and tights and pulls him out and then sends him back into the ring post! }Terri Morasco: GOD is showing no mercy, as expected but completely disgusting.
Vasco Dias: How long is Verona going to let this farce last?
{ GOD pulls Lance out of the corner and hits a release german suplex and drops Lance right on the back of his skull. GOD maniacally laughs as he sits up, the Brothers laughing a long with him. }Vasco Dias: Just sick.
{ God spins around to his feet and bounces off the ropes before coming back with a hard stomp to the back of Roddās head. He pulls him up by the hair again and spits in his face before hitting Cableās Last Gasp pulling piledriver! }Terri Morasco: And he drops him on his head again.
Vasco Dias: What is the point of this?
Terri Morasco: To do it, thatās the point. That he can do it and no one can stop him.
{ GOD stands up and demands the Brothers give him a chair, they immediately respond and slide a steel chair into the ring. The referee warns GOD but GOD quickly puts him in his place with a hard slap to the mouth, the referee backs down as GOD pulls Lance up and drops him head first onto the steel chair with TARAāS WINGS! }Vasco Dias: Looks like thereās no longer going to be disqualifications.
Terri Morasco: The man is a monsterā¦
{ GOD laughs as he gets up and pulls Lance up to his feet as well, he mocks him a little before kicking him hard in the gut and pulling him into another piledriver onto the steel chair! }Vasco Dias: OH COME ON!!! Just end it!
Terri Morasco: This is just a disgusting display.
{ Ana cheers her GOD on from ring side as she holds his belt, GOD smiles at her and crawls across the ring to her where they kiss through the ropes. }Vasco Dias: I honestly hate them both.
{ GOD pulls back and turns his attention to Lance who isnāt moving. He stands up and grabs the man by his hair, he pulls him up and throws him hard into the corner. GOD runs in with a clothes line then a spinning heel kick to the midsection then a step up enzugiri! Lance stumbles and goes to fall but GOD grabs him with a white Russian leg sweep face first into the chair. }Vasco Dias: Can he just end this already?
Terri Morasco: I wish he wouldā¦
{ GOD beckons the Brothers to enter the ring. }Vasco Dias: What now?
{ Eddie and Frank pulls Lance to his feet, GOD looks to Ana and calls her into the ring. He asks her to take the chair and she does, she holds it up in front of Lanceās face. }Vasco Dias: Seriously!?
{ GOD drills the chair into his face with the GENECIDE KICK! Lance Rodd is completely laid out as GOD drops down on top of him, his hands pushing off of his chest as he looks around, the referee begrudgingly counts. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Alison Valance: Your winner and still IWF World Championā¦. GOD!!!!
{ GOD gets to his feet and takes his belt and his woman in his arms, kissing the former. }Vasco Dias: Thankfully itās over.
{ Mason St Croix joins them in the ring now as GOD turns his attention back to Lance, he tells Mason to grab a table, which he quickly does. }Vasco Dias: ITāS OVER DAMMIT!!!
Terri Morasco: Not for GODā¦ Not yetā¦
{ Mason sets up the table as the Brothers pull Lance to his feet. They double him over and pull him up over their heads and send him crashing through the table! }Vasco Dias: YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!!!
{ The Age of X laughs when they are suddenly interrupted by āCult of Personalityā to a huge pop! }Vasco Dias: YES! Itās Mike Laszlo!
{ Thereās a bit of a delay as the song plays and GOD looks around, a bit confused at the whole ordeal. He looks down at his Age of X followers and points them to the back to āGo Get HIM!ā
The members head up to the backstage area and disappear behind the curtain.}Terri Morasco: Mike better watch out. The Brothers Black already attacked Pooler. The Age of X just destroyed Lance Rodd and put him through a table. The numbers game is just too much.
Vasco Dias: I donāt like it any more than you do Terri, but Laszlo had to see this coming.
{GOD looks on with a smile as the crowd begins to erupt behind him as MIKE LASZLO comes hopping over the barricade, jumping up onto the apron, spring-boarding off the top rope and hitting GOD with a Springboard Bulldog! God goes face-first into the mat as Laszlo jumps on him and starts pounding on him with lefts and right to the face, God, unable to cover up from the shots, but eventually shoves Laszlo off. Laszlo rolls to his feet and as God gets to his feetā¦
WHAM!
SUPERKICK CONNECTS!}Vasco Dias: Mike suckered the Age of X to the back and left their God defenseless!
Terri Morasco: Maybe the numbers game can be circumvented!
{Laszlo looks down at the fallen champion and picks up his title, holding it high into the air while poking his chest. āTHIS IS MINE!ā The crowd pops as he stalks God, ready to strike. God gets to his feet and turns only to be bashed in the face with the title belt!}Vasco Dias: Thereās nowhere for Angel to go.
Terri Morasco: Look at this!
{The crowd pops as Mike stalks the fallen champion. Angel gets to his knees and starts crawling away but Laszlo grabs him by the hair and locks him in the ENTANGLEMENT! (Black Widow).}Vasco Dias: Heās going to break his arm!
Terri Morasco: God deserves all this and more for what heās done!
{The crowd starts booing as the Age of X storm the ring again. Laszlo sees them and releases the hold, knocking Mason and Frank Black off the apron. Eddie comes in from behind but Laszlo sees him on the screen and ducks the attack from behind. God rolls out into the waiting arms of Frank and Mason who help him to his feet.
In the ring, Mike grabs hold of Eddie, spins him around, a boot to the gut and THE MALICIOUS INTENT! Eddie rolls out of the ring at the feet of God who looks up as Mike Laszlo holds the World Title in the air as āCult of Personalityā blares over the speakers again as the scene IWF Logo appears in the bottom of the screen.}
Well howdy there pardner.
