IWF HEAVYWEIGHT HOUSE SHOW

{A video package airs, highlighting the most breath-taking, heart-stopping moments from Bloody Assizes. We see bodies being put through tables in the TLC Match, The Watchman putting Roberto Verona through hell, and all of our winners having their arms raised in victory. As the package fades out, we turn to Trent Helms, who is being joined by Will Washington.}

Trent Helms: "Coming to you just days after an historic pay-per-view, I'm your new overlord, Trent Helms, and I'm joined tonight by the Head of the Heavyweights Division and the self-proclaimed President of Wrestling.... Will Washington. Cue the applause."

Will Washington: "Great to be here, Trent. And let me just say, your wit is as biting as ever."

Trent Helms: "This is the first time we've ever worked together, isn't it? Well you're in for a treat, Will. And so are you fans, as we have not one, but two champions in action here tonight. Do you think someone will let me hold their belt? And if so, how much do you think the Pawn Stars would give me for it... You know... for research purposes?"

Will Washington: "...Let's stick to the matches. We're going to see a mixture of some of our most established stars and some of the hottest young talent. Everyone's been raving about last week's Heavyweight Championship Match, and we're going to keep that momentum going tonight!"

Trent Helms: "Well let's just hope these guys can deliver. Let's head out to our first match.

SINGLES MATCH

Xander Famularo vs. Stephen Kingsley

Will Washington: "Up first we have the man that everyone's talking about, Xander Famularo, taking on one half of Criminal Intent."

Trent Helms: "Ah, Criminal Intent. Easily my second favorite Law & Order based tag team."

Will Washington: "Two big, rough guys just beating the crap out of each other. This one was bound to get ugly."

Trent Helms: "Ugly? Stephen Kingsley and Xander? You don't say?"

{We go to the match and find the two brawlers exchanging punches in the center of the ring. The bigger man, Kingsley, grabs the advantage by blocking a punch and delivering a stiff headbutt to Xander that knocks him back a step. He headbutts Xander again, backing him into the ropes before shooting him off. As Xander rebounds, Kingsley catches him with a big Powerslam, before jumping back to his feet and hitting the ropes. Kingsley delivers an Elbow Drop across the throat of his opponent, before climbing on top for the pin. 1... 2. Xander powers out, and Stephen takes a step back. As Xander gets to his feet, Kingsley charges for the Big Boot, but Famularo ducks it and hits the ropes on his own, nailing a big Lariat that takes Kingsley off of his feet. Famularo guides Kingsley to his feet and hooks him up, delivering a quick Snap Suplex and floats over into the pin. 1.... 2.. Kingsley kicks out. Xander tries to lift Kingsley again, but the croc hunter responds with by pulling the referee in close by the shirt to distract him, and hitting an undected Low Blow on Xander.}

Trent Helms: "Ouch! I hope Gib doesn't want any grandkids. Actually, it's probably better if there aren't any more of those Famularo demons running around."

Will Washington: "Stephen Kingsley used a classic rule-breakers tactic to gain the advantage, and wasted no time going on the attack."

Trent Helms: "When you get hit in the place that Xander got hit... it takes a while to recover. Trust me, I've seen plenty of videos on Youtube."

Will Washington: "Kingsley's offense isn't pretty, but it sure is effective."

{Kingsley now has Famularo caught, spinning and hitting a big Swinging Neckbreaker on the former NCW World Champion. Kingsley lazily pins Famularo, getting a two count. Stephen then mounts Xander and viciously wraps his hands around Xander's throat, trying to strangle the life out of him with a Grounded Chokehold. As the referee forces him to break, Kingsley shoves the official back and gets a warning, before stomping down on the back of Xander as he tries to make it to his feet. The bigger man smiles a disgusting smile before heading through the ropes and climbing the turnbuckles. He waits as Xander gets to his feet before leaping off and hitting a big time Missile Dropkick!}

Will Washington: "Who knew that the big man could fly like that? He looked a bit like a young Trent Helms if you ask me..."

Trent Helms: "Well thankfully nobody asked you, and I'm insulted that you'd even make the comparison. It looked like the Hindenburg all over again."

Will Washington: "Kingsley looked to be in complete control, but this is Xander Famularo we're talking about. That guy doesn't stay down for long."

{Kingsley, still in control, pulls Xander to his feet and looks to hit a Piledriver, but the Famularo seed keeps himself planted and sends Kingsley to the mat with a Back Body Drop. As Stephen gets to his feet, Xander catches him with a quick series of lefts that back him up, and Xander shoots him off of the ropes. As Kingsley rebounds, Xander gets hits knee up and connects with Kingsley's gut, stopping him cold. Famularo then hoists Kingsley up and drops him across the top turnbuckle with his Harpoon move. Kingsley stumbles back and Xander catches him with the Gib-Buster! He hooks the leg. 1... 2.. kick out!}

Trent Helms: "Xander has some high impact moves that I'm sure he learned from his dear old dad. Who, of course, probably learned them from yours' truly."

Will Washington: "Stephen Kingsley had some tricks up his sleeve, but Xander Famularo fought his way back. This was anybody's match, Trent."

Trent Helms: "It was like two trucks just banging into each other. They were surprisingly evenly matched, but only one man could win.... Obviously."

{Xander pulls Stephen into position, looking to Powerbomb him into the corner with his Mushroom Cloud. Kingsley is thankfully able to block the attempt, and pull himself free before bull rushing Xander into the turnbuckles. The Australian drives his shoulder into Famularo's sternum three times in a row before guiding him out of the corner. He spins Xander around and jumps, looking to hit his Jury's Out Backstabber. As he jumps, Xander reaches out and grabs the ropes, keeping himself standing as Kingsley hits the mat. The Criminal Intent member gets to his feet, holding his back and walks into a Widowmaker from Xander! This knocks Kingsley out on his feet, but before he can fall forward with a fallen tree, Xander grabs him by the pants and powers him up, driving him down with Metal Health! Famularo hooks the leg. 1.... 2.... 3! After the match, Xavier Cross comes out on the entrance ramp and applauds for Famularo as he has his hand raised in victory.}

Will Washington: "The seemingly unbeatable Xander continues his winning ways in an impressive fashion. He's definitely got the attention of the Heavyweight Champion, Xavier Cross."

Trent Helms: "These bruisers beat each other up, but Xander was the better man. IWF had better watch out!"

Will Washington: "Famularo is going to be a force in the Heavyweight Division."

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

Daniel Constantine vs. Duke Winchester vs. Future Trent Helms

Will Washington: "Next up we've got a special Triple Threat Match, featuring Daniel Constantine, Duke Winchester.... and someone claiming to be Trent Helms from the Future. Now obviously that can't be Trent Helms, because I'm sitting next to Trent Helms right now.... Wait.... where did he go?"

Vasco Dias: "It looks like it's you and I pulling duty for this match, Will. Daniel Constantine and Duke Winchester were both looking to rebound after heartbreaking title loses at Bloody Assizes. Would this be a step in the right direction?"

Will Washington: "But seriously though. Where's Trent?"

{Cut to the video where we see Duke Winchester putting the boots to Future Trent in the corner, stomping a mudhole in him. Daniel Constantine approaches and grabs Duke around the waist, looking to hit the German Suplex. Duke stands his ground fights back with two back elbows that break Constantine's grasp. Winchester spins around and fires off a big punch that rocks Daniel.... and then another that makes his knees wobble. Duke delivers a Punch Combination and winds up for the big one, but Future Trent grabs him from behind. Duke spins around and cleans Trent's clock with the punch, and turns back around as Daniel spins and connects with a Spinning Backfist!}

Will Washington: "That big Backfist from Constantine nearly took Duke's head off. The veteran really took a blow there."

Vasco Dias: "These three men wrestled a very methodical match, with each man trying to keep mistakes to a minimum."

Will Washington: "This match was back-and-forth every step of the way. Everyone was on top of their game for this one."

{Daniel Constantine Irish Whips Duke Winchester into the corner and charges him, nailing a Yakuza Kick to the jaw that sends the Naturals star to the mat. Before he can take advantage, Future Trent grabs him from behind and hits a Falling Reverse DDT. He then hits the ropes and jumps, coming down with his back across Constantine's chest with the Running Senton Splash. Future Trent gets up holding his back, before stepping out through the ropes. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and faces out towards the crowd, but he takes his sweet time doing so. Daniel comes over and shakes the ropes, causing Future Trent to slip, before the zealot pulls him off of the turnbuckles and delivers a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Constantine tries to go for the pinfall, but Winchester grabs him around the waist and pulls him to his feet before hitting a Gutwrench Suplex. Winchester then steps up to the second turnbuckle and leaps off, nailing a Diving Knee Drop to the forehead of Constantine before going for the pin. 1.... 2... Future Trent Helms breaks up the pinfall!}

Vasco Dias: "Duke Winchester can really go for a man of his years. He proved it in the TLC Match, and he's proving it again with moves like that Diving Knee Drop."

Will Washington: "He's the kind of story that we could really use here in IWF. They make movies about this kind of stuff."

Vasco Dias: "But this match wasn't over yet. Let's fast forward to a pivotal moment in this matchup."

{Now we see Duke Winchester trapping Future Trent in the center of the ring in a Full Nelson hold. Daniel Constantine sneaks up from behind and shoots his arms up and under Duke's pulling him out of the Full Nelson, and hitting a Dragon Suplex! He transitions it and rolls over, lifting Duke and delivering another Dragon Suplex. He rolls to his feet and drags Duke up, looking to hit a third straight, but Future Trent Helms comes out of nowhere with the Diving Crossbody to Winchester, taking both opponents down! Future Trent gets to his feet and pulls Constantine up, draping his leg over his neck and hitting a Rocker Dropper. He spies Winchester getting to his feet and goes over, grabbing him for the Flatliner... but Duke grabs his arm and traps it, pulling Future Trent into the Cobra Clutch! Future Trent quickly drops down to his backside, driving his head into Duke's face in a Jawbreaker counter. Duke holds his jaw and backs into Daniel Constantine and his Lament of Innocence!}

Vasco Dias: "Some inadvertent teamwork there from Trent and Constatine as they take Winchester down."

Will Washington: "Indeed. Then this match really started to heat up as things came to a thrilling conclusion."

{Daniel catches Future Trent with a quick series of Martial Arts kicks that sting greater and greater with each strike. Suddenly, Duke Winchester grabs Constantine's shoulder and spins him around, hitting him with some Backhanded Chops that back Daniel into a corner. Winchester turns back to face Trent, but spies him charging in for the Burning Attack. Winchester moves out of the way and Trent nails his signature Double Knee Attack on Constantine, who is crushed against the turnbuckles. Future Trent turns out of the corner and is nailed by Duke Winchester's Running Big Boot. Winchester then pulls Constantine out of the corner and positions him before drilling him with The Miracle! Winchester pins Constantine for the 1.... 2... 3!}

Will Washington: "Now that triple threat match was really quite the show, with all three men pulling out their best moves to try and get that big win."

Trent Helms: "It sure was. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time."

Will Washington: "Where'd you come from?"

Trent Helms: "What are you talking about?"

SINGLES MATCH

Seth Evans vs. Ryan Blade

Will Washington: "Coming up next we're in for a real treat as two great young wrestlers are sure to tear the roof off of the building. The new Man of Steel Champion, Ryan Blade, takes on the always exciting Seth Evans."

Trent Helms: "Blade is coming off a huge title win at Bloody Assizes, and Seth Evans still hasn't won his first match here. Would this be the night for the noobtuber to get it done?"

Will Washington: "I don't know about you Trent, but this was one match that I was looking forward to more than almost any other. Blade's been the talk of IWF, and Seth Evans is no slouch."

Trent Helms: "So let's stop mugging for the camera and get to the action!"

{We head into the match and find Ryan Blade with Seth Evans on his shoulders, giving him an Airplane Spin. Blade sets Evans down on the mat and both men stumble about for a second, before Blade boots him in the gut and hits the ropes, leapfrogging over Evans. Blade comes down looking for the FACE! BUSTER! maneuver, but Evans slips his head out of the way and Ryan lands on his feet. Blade turns around and narrowly avoids and Enziguiri from Evans, who hits the mat on his miss. Blade immediately grabs his legs and spins around, looking for the Figure Four, but Evans reaches up and pulls him into an Inside Cradle! 1... 2... Blade kicks out. Both men are up quickly with Blade delivering a Spinning Back Roundhouse to the gut of Seth Evans before pulling him in. He hooks Evans up for the Double Underhook Suplex, but Evans pulls his arms free and boots Blade, before dropping him with a Double-Arm DDT. He rolls Blade over and quickly leaps to the top rope, nailing a beautiful Split-Legged Moonsault and going for the pin. 1.... 2... kick out from Blade!}

Trent Helms: "Seth Evans, again proving that he wishes he was me. Leave the high-flying to the professionals, you jagoff."

Will Washington: "Trent Helms, is that envy I see in you? Because that Moonsault was perfect. And Seth Evans didn't stop there with his high-flying assault. He flew around the ring like a man on a mission. Unfortunately for him, with high risk, comes high reward, and Ryan Blade took advantage of that."

Trent Helms: "Let's go to the tape!"

{Seth Evans drops Blade with a Cross-Arm Neckbreaker before heading out through the ropes. He ascends to the top turnbuckle and leaps off, looking for his signature Wingman SSP.... but Blade gets his knees up! Evans stumbles up, holding his gut, while Blade hits the ropes and leaps, drilling Seth in the chest with his Shot Through the Heart Flying Knee Attack! Evans crashes to the mat and Blade quickly lowers his kneepad before running and dropping a big Knee Drop across Seth's jaw. Blade drops down for the pinfall. 1... 2.. Evans kicks out with ease. The Man of Steel Champion pulls Evans to his feet and into Reverse DDT position, but Evans quickly spins his body around and delivers a Northern Lights Suplex. Ryan is up in an instant, but Evans catches him with a stiff kick to the chest, backing him into the ropes, before sending him off. Evans drops his head down for the Back Body Drop as Blade rebounds, but Blade grabs the top rope to stop his momentum. He runs and steps up on the second rope, and as Evans looks up, Blade catches him with a Springboard Kick to the face!}

Will Washington: "Blade scored big time with that kick that nearly spelled disaster for Seth Evans."

Trent Helms: "...I see what you did there. These two youngins went back-and-forth and gave each other their best shots."

Will Washington: "We head back to the ring and see exactly what these two are made of."

{Ryan hits Evans with a European Uppercut that stuns the man, allowing him to lift the opponent, swinging him and slamming him down hard with a Twisting Delayed Scoop Slam. Blade pulls Evans into position before heading out through the ropes and to the top turnbuckle. Blade mocks the fans for a brief moment, allowing Evans to get to his feet and surprise Blade with a jumping kick that knocks him loopy on the top rope. Evans climbs to the top and jumps nailing a Frankensteiner that sends both men flying to the mat! The crowd pops as Evans slowly crawls into the cover. 1.... 2.... Blade gets the shoulder up. Seth is up first, reaching a vertical base before pulling Evans prepares to run towards the ropes, but Blade grabs him from behind. Evans breaks free and jumps without looking, flipping and nailing Blade with the Going Clutch Pele Kick! Blade falls to the mat and rolls under the bottom rope.}

Trent Helms: "Quick thinking by Blade to roll out of the ring and avoid a pin. Evans could have had the win right there."

Will Washington: "But it wasn't over yet. These two young stars battled on, until we reached our thrilling conclusion."

Trent Helms: "Who was going to win this one? Evans? Blade? Me? Let's find out."

{Evans hooks Blade up for the Side Effect, but Blade fights out of it and gets the advantage. He spins and looks for a Discus Clothesline, but Evans ducks it and grabs him, pulling Blade onto his shoulders for the Extermination! Blade connects with some quick elbow shots to the side of the head, stunning Evans and forcing his way out of the move. Blade drops to his feet and grabs Evans, looking to drop him with the Hangman's Facebuster. As he turns, Seth breaks free and delivers a boot to the gut of Blade, stopping the move. He pulls Blade in and sets him up for the Killjoy... but Blade lifts him up into the air and jumps, dropping Evans on his head with Fade to Black! Blade's signature Belly-to-Back Piledriver takes Evans down, and the Man of Steel watches as Evans slowly makes it to his hands and knees... before hitting the ropes and stomping Seth's head into the mat with the Derek Vinyard Special! Blade rolls Evans over and goes for the pin. 1... 2... 3!}

Trent Helms: "And Ryan Blade continues to be on the roll of a lifetime, this time beating Mr. Xbox Live himself, Seth Evans."

Will Washington: "Seth brought his 'A' game in this match, but this Blade kid looks unbeatable. It's no wonder he's holding the gold already in his young career."

Trent Helms: "I'd say he reminds me of a young Trent Helms, but nobody's that good."

HEIRESS TO THE THRONE MATCH

Emma Danielson vs. Kathleen Conway

Trent Helms: "Now it's time for some Diamonds action! Which is what I'm sure all of you came to see on a Heavyweights House Show special. So joining me for this match is the always 'lovely', Terri Morasca."

Terri Morasca: "Well these are two heavyweights in the Diamonds Division. Emma Danielson has been wrestling out of her mind as of late, picking up some huge wins. And Kathleen Conway fought her way into the Heiress to the Throne tournament as well. Both of these women have a great shot of being our first Diamonds Champion."

Trent Helms: "I could have said it better myself."

{Emma Danielson has Kat Conway in a Side Headlock as we go to the video, but Conway quickly gets free and pulls Emma in by the arm, hitting her with a Forearm Smash. Conway then lifts the stunned Danielson and drops her on the mat with a big Scoop Slam, before rolling her over and dropping a knee across Danielson's back. Conway then drops another knee before rolling Danielson back over and going for the pin. 1... 2. Emma kicks out and Conway wastes no time pulling her to her feet. She sends Danielson into the ropes with an Irish Whip and catches her with a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker as she rebounds. Kathy rolls Danielson onto her side and plants a knee into her back while pulling back on her neck and legs, trapping Emma in a Bow and Arrow Lock. Danielson reaches up and pries the fingers away from her face and turns her body, tripping Conway to the mat. She gets to her feet and Conway quickly follows. Emma hits the boot to the gut and pulls Kathy into DDT position, but the crafty Diamond slips free and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker before Emma can react.}

Terri Morasca: "Kathleen was looking good and she never slowed down through the entire match. She took the offense to Emma Danielson like never before."

Trent Helms: "You could see the influence Ace has had in her wrestling game, because I was bored to tears the entire time. I'm sure it was exciting if you're into that kind of thing."

Terri Morasca: "Most of us are, Trent. Kathy put on a master class in the ring on this night."

{Conway locks Danielson up in the Abdominal Stretch, torturing her sternum with some stiff forearm shots for good measure. Before long, Danielson is able to maneuver her leg free and Hip Toss Conway down to the mat. As Kat gets up quickly, Danielson leaps at her and takes her to the mat with the Lou Thesz Press, followed by Mounted Punches. The referee pulls Danielson off for using the closed fists, and as she goes back to attack again, Conway kicks Danielson's leg out from under her, before standing at hitting a boot to the side of Emma's head. She then gets Emma to a vertical base and whips her into the ropes before leaping and hitting a big Dropkick that nearly takes Emma out of her boots.}

Trent Helms: "Conway had Emma's number on this night. She had the match under control right from the start."

Terri Morasca: "She's one thousand percent focused on this title tournament, and she showed the world just that. Let's watch as she finishes Danielson off in style."

{Kat hits the ropes looking for a big maneuver, but Danielson catches her and delivers a big Sidewalk Slam. Emma gets to her feet slowly, but catches Kat as she stumbles up with a hand on her lower back. Emma lifts Kat up onto her shoulders and looks for the Running Powerslam, but Conway slips off the back and charges forward, driving Danielson shoulder-first into the turnbuckles. Conway then pulls Danielson out of the corner and picks her up in position, before dropping down and nailing the Kat Nap! Kat crawls on top of Danielson and goes for the win. 1.... 2.... 3!}

MAIN EVENT

SINGLES MATCH

Xavier Cross vs JackHammer

Trent Helms: "For our final match of the night, we have the man who is no longer the worst, Xavier Cross, against the new worst, JackHammer."

Will Washington: "Cross stole the show last Sunday Night and came home with a huge Heavyweight Championship win. He's the man to beat in the Heavyweights Division now, but would JackHammer be able to stop the champ?"

Trent Helms: "This big Beef-Eater isn't the kind of guy you want to face just a few nights after winning your first title. He's looking to get his first win in IWF, and a win over the champ is the best kind!"

Will Washington: "David vs. Goliath? Not quite. But Cross vs. JackHammer is going to be an even better battle."

{We open the match as Xavier Cross stands on the second rope and dives at JackHammer, who catches him in mid-air like it was nothing. He then powers Cross up high into the air for the Military Press. He releases Cross and walks away, expecting the move to hit, but Cross lands of his feet and spins Hammer around, hitting him with a series of kicks to the leg in quick succession. Cross goes for the jab portion of the B/S/T Combo, but JackHammer catches his hand and pulls Cross in up onto his shoulders before driving him down with the Samoan Drop. JackHammer hits the ropes and comes off for the Big Leg Drop, but Cross rolls out of the way and gets to his feet, hitting the ropes on his own and nailing his signature Shining Wizard to the seated opponent. Cross goes on top for the pin. 1... 2. JackHamer powers out and Cross goes flying into the air. Cross catches JackHammer with a Backhand Chop as he gets to his feet, but the big man shakes it off and hits a knee to the gut and pulls Cross in before slamming him down across his knee with the Pendulum Backbreaker. JackHammer holds Cross across his knee and pushes down on his head and leg, bending the champion back at an uncomfortable angle. Hammer works the back of Cross for a minute before releasing the hold.}

Will Washington: "JackHammer had the decisive power and strength advantage, and he put it to good use in this match. Cross had to rely on his speed and heart if he wanted to compete with the big man."

Trent Helms: "Or just take out Hammer's knees. You're not so big when you can't stand up, are you?"

Will Washington: "Or you know... the speed thing. To each his own."

Trent Helms: "Back to the action!"

{JackHammer whips Cross into the turnbuckles and takes a few steps back before charging in. He nails Cross in the corner with a Running Corner Clothesline splash, causing Xavier to stumble out of the corner and Hammer hits the ropes, connecting with a Running Big Boot that sends Cross to the mat. Hammer peels Cross off of the mat and lifts him up onto his shoulders and spins, nailing an Argentine Neckbreaker. JackHammer puts his forearm across Xavier's face and goes for the pin. 1.... 2... Cross kicks out. Hammer delivers a stiff punch to the head before lifting Cross up again and grabbing him by the throat for the Earth Tremble. He lifts Cross into the air, but Cross slips free and lands on his feet, he runs over and jumps onto the second rope, leaping and turning, catching Hammer by surprise with a Springboard Bulldog. Jack's up quickly and Cross runs, knocking him by with a Flying Shoulder Block, which leaves the big man off-balance. Cross reaches up and grabs Hammer by the head and looks for the Snapmare Driver, but JackHammer uses his power to lift Cross and go for the Saito Suplex. Cross flips over the back and lands on his feet, immediately Dropkicking Hammer in the back of the leg. The big man drops to his knees and Cross delivers a stiff kick to the chest that sends him to the mat before standing over the man and leaping into the air with the Standing SSP of his B/S/T Combo! Cross hits the move and goes for the pin. 1... 2... JackHammer kicks out again.}

Will Washington: "See what I mean? Xavier's speed is his best weapon against a man the size of JackHammer. Seven feet, three hundred pounds doesn't go down easy."

Trent Helms: "Hey. I'm the one who said he should target the legs. So in a way, we're both right... except I'm more right."

Will Washington: "Xavier Cross had to muster everything inside him to fight off the big man. How would he be able to keep him down for a three count?"

Trent Helms: "It's JackHammer. That's how."

{Cross again finds himself in the meaty paws of the JackHammer, as the seven footer locks him into a Dragon Sleeper. Cross somehow shows remarkable strength and flips himself up and onto the shoulder of Jackhammer, breaking the hold and driving him down to the mat. Cross traps his arm between his legs and wrenches back on the head... locking on the Cross Examination! Cross' signature Crossface maneuver is locked in on the big man, who tries to fight his way out of it and avoid the submission. Suddenly, JackHammer pushes up to his knees and begins to stand while Cross still has his arm and head trapped. Hammer reaches up and grabs Cross, breaking his grasp and pulling him into position... slamming him down hard with a Forward Fireman's Carry Slam! JackHammer falls down onto the cover. 1... 2... Xavier gets the shoulder up!}

Trent Helms: "That was a pretty impressive show of strength by JackHammer there. Nobody ever said this guy isn't strong."

Will Washington: "One of the strongest in the company. He's going to be a huge threat to everyone in the Heavyweights Division if he can stay focused."

Trent Helms: "He's got the champion down. Can he finish the job and get his first win in IWF?"

Will Washington: "Let's not wait any longer."

{JackHammer and Cross are both getting to their feet as JackHammer rocks Cross with a big punch, and the smaller man responds by reaching up and dropping with a Jawbreaker. Hammer steps back and Cross boots him in the gut, causing him to lean forward. The Heavyweight Champion hits the ropes and goes for a Scissor Kick, but Hammer pulls his head out of the way and avoids it, before turning and Spearing Cross as he spins around. JackHammer taunts the crowd as he gets to his feet, before ripping Cross off of the mat. He pulls Cross into Powerbomb position, but the champion breaks free and backs towards the ropes. Hammer charges Cross, and the champion sidesteps him, driving Hammer into the ropes. The big man stumbles backwards and Cross grabs his arms.... turns him... and nails the Crossifixion! Xavier struggles to turn JackHammer over and go for the pin. 1.... 2.... 3!}

Will Washington: "And the Heavyweight Champion pulled out another impressive victory, this time beating the giant, JackHammer."

Trent Helms: "This guy has been going out of his mind lately. I hate to say it, but I may have been wrong about Cross all these years."

Will Washington: "He's on quite a roll. Something is clicking right now for Xavier Cross, and it's showing in the win-loss column. I'm proud to have this man as the champion of the Heavyweight Division."

Trent Helms: "Well we brought them a good show tonight, didn't we Will? There was action, there was intrigue, and there was suspense. Not to mention one incredible commentator."

Will Washington: "That's high praise on my first night."

Trent Helms: "Clearly I was talking about myself. You were adequate. I was awesome."

Will Washington: "Well it was a pleasure being in the booth with you, Trent. Let's do it again sometime."

Trent Helms: "That's all from us on the Heavyweight House Show Special. I hope you enjoyed it! And if you didn't? Talk to Will."

Trent Helms: If you watched Sacrifice this past Sunday then you saw two matches that pretty mcuh blew everything else out of the water. The first being Alex Jones versus Brad Kane in the Cell and the other being the Tag Team TLC match.

Terri Morasco: Both matches were hotly contested.

Trent Helms: Damn right, so with that in mind you're about to see two of the stars from those two matches rip each other right here tonight for your viewing pleasure. First off we've got Falcon-

Vasco Dias: He's not Falcon.

Trent Helms: Yeah, I'm sure that's what he'd like you to think.

Vasco Dias: Did you watch his promo this week? Gjenrei and Falcon were in it together.

Trent Helms: So? I once battled an army of myselves back in ncw, computers can do wonders.

Terri Morasco: Regardless, we've got Gjenrei stepping into the ring with Alex Jones. Gjenrei appears to be an up and comer while Alex, well, he declared war on the Kanes last week so it's going to be interesting to see where that goes from here.

{The lights dim as "Ryoujoku no Ame" by Dir En Grey starts to play. The masked man known only as "Gjenrei" steps out from behind the curtain and kneels at the upper part of the ramp as the drum beats start to kick in. He waits, his hands folded in prayer, then the music amps up and comes full force. He leaps from his knees to his feet as a short pyro burst explodes on either side of the ramp. He walks down the ramp, and ascends one of the corner turnbuckles, gazing out over the packed crowd. Then he sits himself on top of the turnbuckle, crossed legged, and meditates until the match is about to get underway.}

Trent Helms: Falcon is looking to be in great shape, even got a tan.

Vasco Dias: Sometimes I wonder if Simon wouldn't mind very much replacing you with a trained chimp.

Trent Helms: I work for cheaper.

Terri Morasco: Like I was saying, Alex declared war on the Kane's, he also declared his intentions to take over the Cruiser Weight division. This match is a step toward the Cruiser Weight Championship, a win here could move him up the ranks and closer to Bushido.

Trent Helms: And a loss would just suck.

{The lights shut off as the theme song from SAW comes overt the PA, as we come to the height of the song the song it suddenly stops.

BREAK!

Blue smock nancy's "unsettling differences" blasts out as a spotlight shines on the entranceway. Alex Jones emerges wearing a black shirt with "prince of perfection" written on it. 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. }

Trent Helms: Wow, the people hate him.

Vasco Dias: Yes, my sentiments exactly for you, actually.

Trent Helms: Yeah, I hate you too Vasco.

{ The bell sounds and both men come out of their corners. AJ looks to lock up with Gjenrei. They lock up in the center of the ring but AJ quickly transitions to a side head lock, Gjenrei pushes him off and AJ hits the ropes and comes back fast. Gjenrei ducks the clothes line attempt and AJ spins around into a leaping enzugiri to the side of the head. Gjenrei is quick to his feet and spring boards off the ropes with a drop kick right to the chest of AJ. AJ rolls backward and into a seated position. Gjenrei bounces off the ropes behind AJ and comes in with a running knee right to the back! Gjenrei spins AJ up by his head and drives several hard knees into the ribs and gut of AJ. Gjenrei spins around and throws AJ into the corner. Gjenrei runs in with a splash but AJ gets out of the way and Gjenrei crashes against the turn buckles. AJ quickly grabs Gjenrei by the neck and rips him out of the corner with a reverse neck breaker. }

Terri Morasco: Jones is taking control of this match early on, really using his strength and size to over power Gjenrei, not to mention his seemingly superior wrestling skills.

Vasco Dias: Like most in this division, Gjrenrei relies too heavily on his abilty to flip off of things where as Alex doesn't mind taking it to the mat and would almost prefer it that way.

Trent Helms: Which is why I generally get a boring chant going during his matches.

{ AJ is up fast and Gjenrei stands up but AJ pushes him into the corner and begins to unload some lefts and rights before hitting a big European upper cut in the corner. AJ takes a hold of Gjenrei and sends him across the ring into the other corner. AJ follows him in with a running drop kick in the corner! AJ is up and snap mare Gjenrei out of the corner, kicks him hard in the back several times, grabs him by the mask and slams him hard down onto the mat, grabs the ropes, spring boards and nails the lion sult! AJ covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Trent Helms: Incredibly fast paced action here tonight. If Alex can keep it going he may actually defeat Falcon for the first time ever.

Terri Morasco: It really isn't Falcon under that mask.

Trent Helms: Dangle a four year old in front of him and see what happens, guarantee he takes the bait.

Vasco Dias: There is something seriously wrong with you.

{ AJ gets up, he goes to the corner and leaps to the top. AJ turns and Gjenrei nips up. AJ jumps but Gjenrei connects with a drop kick to AJ's mid section while he is in mid air. Both men are down. AJ rolls out of the ring holding his gut and drops to his knees. Gjenrei pulls himself up. He sees AJ on the outside and goes for the ropes, he bounces off and comes flying toward the other side of the ring and leaps out with a suicide dive on AJ!!!! Jones moves just in time and Gjenrei goes crashing head first into the steel ring barrier head first. Jones smiles as he gets to his feet and taps the side of his head. Jones rolls into the ring and back out to re start the count. He pulls Gjenrei up by the mask and talks a little smack before turning and slamming the masked man face first into the ring barrier again. Alex grins as he turns and whips Gjenrei as hard as he can right into the ring post! }

Vasco Dias: Alex has so far out wrestled Gjenrei and now he looks to just hurt him.

Trent Helms: By being a dick.

Vasco Dias: By doing what is needed to secure a win tonight.

{ Gjenrei drops to his knees and holds his head. Alex laughs as he looks down at Gjenrei and then just punts the back of Gjenrei's head into the ring post! }

Terri Morasco: OH! That was entirely uncalled for.

Vasco Dias: He's got to keep Gjenrei off his feet, there's no better way to do that.

Terri Morasco: He could try not ending his career tonight.

Trent Helms: Where would the fun be in that?

{ The ref rolls out of the ring, irate with Alex and begins to fire off several warnings all at once. Alex shrugs as he rolls back into the ring and laughs. Gjenrei stands up, dazed, the ref asks him if he wants to continue and of course he does. The ref tries to talk him out of it but Gjenrei pushes the ref aside and rolls into the ring. No sooner than he stands, Alex drops Gjenrei with a hard clothes line. He pulls Gjenrei to his feet and sends him into the corner. Alex runs in with a big clothes line in the corner then starts to just drive elbow after elbow strike into the side of Gjenrei's head. The ref pushes him back and warns him again. }

Terri Morasco: Alex better be careful here, the ref has had about enough of him.

Vasco Dias: Jones is smart, vicious, he knows what he's doing.

{ Gjenrei moves the ref aside and Alex levels him with the AJ GURI! Jones covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Jones can't believe it and sneers as he gets to his feet. He places his boot over the mask of Gjenrei and then steps up onto his face and drags his heel down the mask of Gjenrei. The ref pushes him back again and gives him his final warning to stay away from the head of Gjenrei. }

Terri Morasco: Wow, one more blow like that and the ref may have to call this match.

Trent Helms: Look, I know Falcon pretty well and he will finish this match, sanctioned or otherwise.

Terri Morasco: It isn't... You know what? Never mind.

{ Gjenrei is very slow to his feet and Alex runs at him with a big forearm smash. He grabs him by the arm and sends Gjenrei toward the ropes, the masked man jumps spring boards off the second rope and nails the POWER SHIFT REVERSE DDT!!!! }

Trent Helms: POWER SHIFT!!!!

Vasco Dias: That was very nearly a wrestling move.

{ Both men are down. Gjenrei slowly rolls over and tries to cover Jones. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Gjenrei adjusts his mask and tries to get his head back in the game as he has had his bell rung several times. Gjenrei is up. He pulls Jones to his feet. Jones unloads a big right hand followed by a clothes line but Gjenrei gets under his arm and hits the IKARI PELE KICK! Gjenrei staggers as he stands, the fans firmly behind him as he heads to the ropes and begins to climb. Gjenrei looks down and takes the leap but Jones moves and Gjenrei has to adjust in mid air and tucks and rolls. Jones rushes him as soon as he stands but Gjenrei drives his shoulder into Alex's mid section and sends him over the top rope with a back body drop. Alex lands on the apron, stands and Gjenrei hits a step enzugiri that sends Jones flying off the apron. Alex stands up and this time Gjenrei comes flying out of the ring with a Plancha and NAILS IT!!!! The fans go absolutely wild!!!! }

Trent Helms: Falcon is on a roll right now.

Terri Morasco: GJENREI has definitely got Alex on the ropes.

Trent Helms: Falcon.

Vasco Dias: Just an asian jumping bean to me. Anyone can throw their body out of the ring but how man can escape the reverse arm dragon sleeper lock?

Trent Helms: Zzzzzzzz.... Oh you put me to sleep just talking about that kind of "rasslin".

{ Gjenrei staggers to his feet and lays against the barrier where the fans at ring side begin to pat him on the back. He looks down at Jones who is out of it for the moment and pulls him up to his feet. He whips Jones back into the ring and hops up onto the apron himself. Jones nips up and goes to drive his shoulder into Gjenrei's gut but the masked man hits a sunset flip pin!!! ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Both men are to their feet rather quickly and Gjenrei hits several very hard kicks to the either side of Alex's legs that drop him to one knee. Gjenrei hits a well placed spinning heel kick that sends Alex onto his back. Gjenrei runs to the corner, steps up and hits a split legged moonsult on Jones. He covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Trent Helms: Close one for Falcon, if he can just nail the Falcon's nest this one will be all over.

Terri Morasco: Wasn't that just a roll up?

Trent Helms: Yup, outside of Mike Machado no one did it better than Falcon.

Vasco Dias: He'll burn himself out soon enough and Alex will be right back in this.

{ Gjenrei gets back to his feet. He pulls Alex up but Jones quickly counters with a hip toss, instinctively he leaps into the air and drops a fist across the face of Gjenrei. Jones nips up and as Gjenrei sits up, he kicks him hard across the back. Jones hits the ropes and comes back with a forward roll neck breaker on the seated Gjenrei! He quickly covers him. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: What did I say? You can't keep a great wrestler down. Especially not one who was once called the PHOENIX!

{ Alex is right up to his feet and pulls Gjenrei up. He whips him into the corner of the ring and runs in with his patented punt kick! Alex then hits another AJ GURI! Gjenrei slumps out of the corner and Alex is quick to climb the ropes and leap off with the SPIRAL TAP!!!! Jones covers. ONE! TWO! THR-KICKOUT! }

Vasco Dias: THREE!!! What?

Trent Helms: Not quite.

Vasco Dias: That ref is counting way too slow, Jones had him.

Trent Helms: Yeah, not even close.

{ Jones is visibly upset as he rips Gjenrei off the mat and holding him by the mask walks him over to the corner of the ring where he begins to slams his face into the turnbuckles. He gets underneath the masked man and lifts him up and drops him face first on top of the turn buckle! Gjenrei stumbles out of the corner and Alex hits a running bull dog. Jones grabs the masked man, stands him up and looks for the Endgame but Gjenrei just manages to block it and connects with a jawbreaker on Jones! Gjenrei quickly gets up and under hooks Jones for the Oshikumo Nai DDT! }

Trent Helms: OSHISAKI!!!!!

Terri Morasco: That's not what he calls it.

Trent Helms: Doesn't matter, all that matters is he make the damn pin!!!!

{ Gjenrei is unable to capitalize on the move and instead lays there for several moments trying to catch his breath. When he is finally able to, he rolls over and covers Alex. ONE! TWO! THRE-KICK OUT!!!! Gjenrei pushes off of Jones and heads to the corner of the ring. He begins to climb up the ropes, as he reaches the top Alex gets up, he sees Gjenrei and runs in and pushes him off the top rope!!!! Gjenrei flails as he falls to the outside and lands hard on his back!!! }

Trent Helms: OHHHHH SNAP!!!! That had to hurt.

Vasco Dias: High risk, no reward. That's why smart men like Jones try to stay grounded, use their brains.

{ Alex slumps into the corner, hurt, tired, but unwilling to give up. He rolls out of the ring as Gjenrei just lays there. He pulls the man in the mask to his feet and pushes him back into the ring. Alex rolls in, heads to the top, he decides to hit the Spiral Tap one more time. Alex flies off the top and GJENREI GETS HIS KNEES UP!!!! }

Trent Helms: You were saying, Vasco?

Terri Morasco: Think he's removing his foot from his mouth at the moment.

{ Jones rolls over onto his back and Gjenrei gets to his feet, he hits the ropes and comes back with a little rolling thunder in the center of the ring. Gjenrei stands, he grabs Jones by the air, Alex throws Gjenrei's arms away and connects with a hard right hand. Gjenrei counters with a shin kick. Alex throws a left hand. Gjenrei hits another shin kick. Jones throws another right, Gjenrei gets under it and knees him in the gut, runs to the ropes, bounces off and comes back with a kick right to the mouth of Alex! Jones stumbles back and Gjenrei grabs him for a quick Russian leg sweep! }

Vasco Dias: That's the first REAL wrestling move Gjenrei has done the whole match and he executed it perfectly.

Trent Helms: Believe it or not, Falcon knows how to wrestle.

{ Gjenrei rolls to his feet and heads to the corner. He climbs up, Jones stands and he rushes to the corner just as Gjenrei stands up. Alex climbs up and is on the second rope exchanging blows with Gjenrei who is on the top. }

Terri Morasco: Their entering dangerous territory.

Trent Helms: Exactly where I want them to be.

Vasco Dias: What is it with cruiser weights and trying to kell themselves?

Trent Helms: We live to entertain the masses, not wrestle their insomia.

{ The two are exchanging some vicious punches as both of them are looking to gain some sort of advantage. Alex lands one hard right hand to the sternum of Gjenrei and knocks the wind out of him. He climbs to the top, hooks Gjenrei and the both come off the top rope with the ENDGAME!!! Alex covers. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Vasco Dias: ALEX JONES WINS!!!! Once again, wrestling ability defeats stupid flips and high risk ridiculousness.

Trent Helms: For now...

Terri Morasco: Both men should be proud of their performance tonight, it was an exciting match from start to finish.

{ Alex demands the ref raise his hand again as the crowd boos him unmercifully. }

SEGMENT
"Serious Business"

----------------------------------------------------------

Tiffany Jones: I'm here with Mike Machado, who claims that he has a message for the Cruiserweight division.

( Machado stands next to Tiffany, hands on his hips, looking determined. He points at the camera as he speaks into the microphone. )

Mike Machado: Yeah, Tiffany, I do. I'm here to let people know that I should have won that reverse ladder match. I should be the reigning cruiserweight champion of this organization, and I would be if it wasn't for the distractions I had to deal with.I was mere moments away from climbing that ladder and hanging that title above the ring, when...

( Jake Keeton sidles up next to Machado, standing hip to hip with him. Tiffany sheepishly puts the microphone up to Jake's mouth as Machado eyes him. )

Jake Keeton: I couldn’t help but over hear this very skewed version of what happened during the Cruiserweight Title match.

Tiffany Jones: Care to elaborate?

Jake Keeton: When that match ended Mr. Machado here had his feet firmly planted on the ground and was knocking over the ladder and costing me MY TITLE!

Mike Machado: Mr. Jake Keeton, let me ask you something - did your entire world come crashing down just as hard as you did when you fell off of that ladder?

( Keeton takes a step back and a slightly twisted smile creeps across his face. )

Jake: No Mike, it didn’t but I can promise you that your whole world is gonna come crashing down around you. I’ve been toying with you so far but it’s clear that you’re sending a message and want people to take you serious. Well I got the message as I was falling from that ladder and watching Bushido luck his was into a title that he knows that the two of us did far more to earn. My attention is now fully focused on hurting you Mike so consider this me taking you serious.

( Keeton hands the mic back to Tiffany. Tiffany puts it in front of Machado. )

Machado: Jake...

( Machado pauses for another moment before he throws the microphone into Keeton's face. He uses the momentary distraction to rush Keeton, attempting to tackle him to the ground. Keeton reverses it and ends up on top of Machado, both men begin throwing punches at one another. Keeton looks to be getting the upper-hand when security rushes in to break up the brawl. )

Machado: KEETON! YOU'VE GOT NOTHING THAT I DON'T!

( Security pulls the two men fruther apart. )

Jake Keeton: You’re real tough when these goons are holding us apart…

( Keeton lunges trying to get to Machado but he’s pulled back. )

Jake Keeton: You wanna know what I got that you don’t, watch my match tonight real close and you’ll see.

( The show cuts away to a commercial with the camera focused on the face of an irate Jake Keeton. )

MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
Jake Keeton vs Mr. Happy

----------------------------------------------------------

{ The show returns from commercial with the smiling, dancing clown Mr. Happy stands in the ring waving at the crowd while "Mr. Happy" by ICP plays in the arena. }

Terri Morasco: Welcome back to Sacrifice. This is the first time we’re seeing Mr. Happy in an IWF ring and I don’t think anyone would want to be in his shoes right now.

Trent Helms: And why wouldn’t we, clown shoes are all the rage.

{ The lights dim, a hush fills the arena and a mixed reaction of mostly cheers billows from the crowd as "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils hits the PA. Jake Keeton slowly emerges through the curtains with his full attention focused on the Mr. Happy. Keeton glares out at the clown who just gives him a friendly wave that only intensifies Jake’s glare. }

Vasco Dias: That’s exactly why, we saw in his earlier exchange backstage with Mike Machado that Jake’s not in the best of moods.

{ Keeton slides in the ring and tosses his robe off, before the referee can even signal for the bell Keeton shoots in for a double leg takedown the plants Mr. Happy and Jake begins firing rapid shots into the face of the unsuspecting clown. The ref warns Jake for closed fists and he stands up and raises his now makeup covered fists into the air which receives a mixed reaction from the crowd. }

Terri Morasco: You have to love the intensity from Jake Keeton, but he can’t let his aggression get him DQed.

Trent Helms: He’s just angry that he didn’t win the title that was named after me.

Vasco Dias: You wish.

{ Keeton bends down and pulls Mr. Happy to his feet and lifts him up across his shoulder possibly looking for a backbreaker but spins him and drops him across his knee with SILENT NIGHTMARE! Keeton springs back to his feet and climbs to the top rope and leaps off with a picture perfect Swanton. He rolls over and covers Mr. Happy. The ref drops down to count ONE… TWO… Keeton pulls Happy up which draws a few boos from the crowd. }

Trent Helms: Keeton’s inexperience is showing here.

Terri Morasco: Please Trent, the man is a 17 year veteran.

Trent Helms: Talk to me when the kid has been in the ring for 30 years like I have.

{ Jake stands up and stalks Mr. Happy who is doing his best to use the ropes to pull himself to his feet. As soon as Happy is fully upright Keeton charges but Happy backdrops him over the ropes and Jake lands on his feet on the ring apron where he leaps up and springboards on to Mr. Happy with a crossbody but his own momentum carries him over and Mr. Happy ends up on top of the exchange and turns it into a pinning situation. The referee starts to count but Jake kicks out with authority at ONE. Mr. Happy leaps to his feet thrilled with the near fall but his celebration is cut short as Jake Keeton latches onto his ankle and drags him down into a fully extended Knee Bar. }

Vasco Dias: Brilliant submission attempt by Jake Keeton. The way he pulled off that kneebar from his back was a thing of beauty.

{ Mr. Happy desperately struggles and reaches out and grabs the bottom rope forcing Keeton to break the hold. Happy gets back to his feet but is noticeably hobbling as he tries to walk off the affect of being locked in the submission even for a split second. Keeton rushes him and Mr. Happy surprisingly hits his patented old school Hiptoss. A shocked Keeton quickly leaps back to his feet where he’s met with another Hiptoss by the clown. Again Jake gets to his feet and Mr. Happy tries for a third Hiptoss but this time Keeton reverses and hits one of his own. Happy is back to his feet in an instant but is met with a kick to the gut before Keeton hooks his head, wraps up his arm and plants him with SIN WITH A GRIN. }

Terri Morasco: Mr. Happy was on offense for a minute but I think Jake Keeton wanted it back.

Trent Helms: That move is one he learned from my instructional DVD “The Helmsway”

Vasco Dias: Really? I think I’ll mention that to him after the match.

Trent Helms: I wouldn’t, he’s probably embarrassed to talk about it. He probably has two copies though.

{ Jake is up in a hurry and leaps up to the top rope again and sends the fans into a frenzy with his Shooting Star Legdrop, SHOOT TO THRILL! He thinks about making the cover for a moment but reconsiders and drags Mr. Happy to his feet. He lifts the clown up and places him in a sitting position on the top rope and walks to opposite corner where he then runs and leaps into the air nailing a vicious leaping uppercut that almost knocks Mr. Happy backwards off the turnbuckle. Jake climbs up next to his almost lifeless opponent and pulls Mr. Happy up till both men are standing on the top turnbuckle. Keeton jumps up and nails his JUMPING LEG LARIAT from the top rope!}

Terri Morasco: Good God! Such a simple yet effective move and Jake Keeton has perfected it and can hit it from anywhere! This one has to be over.

Vasco Dias: Should have been over 5 minutes ago, Keeton was a man possessed.

Trent Helms: Then we should arrange an exorci… figure of speech right?

Vasco Dias: Right.

{ Finally Jake Keeton makes the cover, this time hooking the leg and grinding his forearm into the face of Mr. Happy. The count is an afterthought but the referee drops down and his arm hits the mat ONE… TWO… THREE! Jake Keeton stands up and the referee tries to raise his arm but Jake just jerks it away and walks to the corner of the ring where he demands a microphone and is handed one. }

Jake Keeton: Mike Machado! I hope you were watching this because it’s what you’ve got to look forward to. I told you earlier to pay attention and see just what I have that you don’t and that’s the ability to totally dominant my competition. I’m coming for you Mike, you started something tonight that I plan to finish once and for all.

{ Keeton drops the mic and turns around to see the referee helping Mr. Happy to his feet. As soon as the ref is clear Jake hits the ropes and hits the JAW JACKER on Mr. Happy knocking him out cold. }

Terri Morasco: Oh my god what a sickening sound, he had to have broken Mr. Happy’s jaw.

Vasco Dias: Yeah that was totally uncalled for.

Trent Helms: This Keeton guy is down right mean.

{ Jake rolls to the floor as medics tend to Mr. Happy.}

"Where's That Clown?"

----------------------------------------------------------

{ Backstage we see Ryan Shane in his ring attire storming around. He walks up to one of the arena personal and grabs him by the collar before shoving him up against a wall. }

Ryan Shane: WHERE THE HELL IS FREAKKE!?

{ The man shakes his head that he doesn't know and Ryan tosses him aside. He turns to his right and sees Mr. Happy with a few medics helping him walk down the hall. Shane sneers before he takes off. Happy looks up just as Shane crashes into him with a forearm. Happy slams up against the wall as Shane starts to kick the crap out of Mr. Happy. The medics try and pull Shane off but he pushes them away and keeps stomping the holy hell out of Mr. Happy. Finally Shane has had enough and bends down over the bloody clown. }

Ryan Shane: Tell your buddy Freakke I'm coming for him.

{ Shane cocks his head in the direction of the camera, putting Freakke on notice before spitting on Happy and walking off down the hall way. }

MATCH
HEIR TO THE THRONE
TRIPLE THREAT
Deathtrain vs Joe Everyman vs Ryan Shane

----------------------------------------------------------

{'Live To Rise' by Soundgarden starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage, ecstatic as ever. Joe walks down the ramp while holding their arms up towards the crowd, who cheer for Joe with deafening sound.}

Alison Valance: "The following is a Triple Threat Match in the Heir to the Throne Tournament! Introducing first.... From Washington D.C..... weighing in at two hundred and fifty-two pounds.... JOE EVERYMAN!"

{Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a standing jump onto the apron. Joe then climbs into the ring through the ropes and looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then stands and waits.}

{A huge explosion of pyro erupts as 'Nightmare' by Avenged Sevenfold blasts from the pa. Deathtrain makes his way out from behind the curtain. He stops at the top of the ramp and stares around at the crowd. He sneers as begins to make his way down the ramp.}

Alison Valance: "And the opponents... From Hell, Michigan.... Weighing two hundred and sixty-five pounds.... DEATHTRAIN!"

{Deathtrain climbs the steel steps and stops again to look around. He climbs over the top rope to enter the ring and climbs up on the turnbuckle.}

{'Victim' by Eighteen Visions begins to play throughout the arena. The entrance ramp is dimly lit as the figure of Ryan Shane makes his way out from behind the curtain. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in a chorus of boos.}

Alison Valance: "From Allen Park, Michigan.... Weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds.... RYAN SHANE!"

{As he gets to the ring he hops onto the apron and enters. Once in the ring and then stands he raises his hands high to the continuing sound of boos.}

{The three wrestlers wait around as the bell sounds and then spring into action. Deathtrain makes a beeline for Joe Everyman, who sees him coming and prepares to strike. Joe sidesteps and chucks Deathtrain in the corner, lighting up his chest with a Knife Edge Chop. Train no-sells it, and Joe hits him with another stiff chop. Before Joe can hit him again, Ryan Shane comes from behind and spins Joe around, chopping him. Everyman responds with a knee to the gut that backs Shane away, before grabbing him by the arm and Irish Whipping him towards the corner. Deathtrain gets out of the way, and Shane goes into the turnbuckles. Deathtrain takes a step out and goes for the Clothesline on Everyman, but Joe ducks it, grabs him, and whips him into Shane in the corner, before running in and Stinger Splashing both men into the turnbuckles. He grabs Deathtrain for the STO, but the big man fights out of it with some well-placed elbows, and pulls Joe into Vertical Suplex position. Suddenly, Ryan Shane hits the ropes and leaps, striking Deathtrain with a Flying Forearm that breaks his grasp on Everyman and backs him up. Shane then hits a Standing Dropkick on Everyman that knocks him down to the mat. As Shane stands up and turns, Deathtrain snatches him up and plants him with a Sidewalk Slam.}

Vasco Dias: "These three men are all hungry to make their claim in this Heir to the Throne tournament."

Trent Helms: "Deathtrain just looks hungry, period."

Terri Morasca: "This match is a pick 'em for most. Any one of these men could take this thing home.

{Deathtrain stands up and catches Everyman with a right hand as he gets to his feet. He backs Joe against the ropes and sends him off, looking for a Big Boot as he rebounds. Joe hits the mat and baseball slides under the boot, getting up quickly and pulling Deathtrain into a Reverse DDT. Joe stands up and is met by Ryan Shane's boot straight into his sternum, before being grabbed for a DDT. Joe holds the top rope, not allowing himself to be DDT'd, so Shane delivers some forearm shots to his back to loosen his grip. Shane finally prepares to launch his DDT attack, but Deathtrain comes into frame and hits Shane with the Big Boot he was looking for earlier. Deathtrain then grabs Joe for his Crucifix Two-Handed Chokelift, but Joe brings both hands down and knocks Deathtrain's hands off of his throat, grabs him, and drops him down to the mat with the Side Effect. Everyman goes for a quick pin. 1... 2. Deathtrain powers out and gets off of the pin, right before Ryan Shane comes diving in with the Allen Park Elbow to the chest of Deathtrain.}

Terri Morasca: "That's the kind of move that's going to be needed to keep this big man down. Good thinking by Ryan Shane."

Vasco Dias: "And some unintentional teamwork from the two smaller men."

Trent Helms: "Joe Everyman.... always relying on the help of others. He's the Kickstarter of wrestling."

{Everyman pulls Shane off of the mat and into Pumphandle position before throwing him up for the Slam. Shane uses the momentum to his advantage as he goes in the air, slipping past Everyman's shoulder and onto the mat behind him. He spins Joe around and hits him with a left hand... and another... and another as he speeds up, rocking the Everyman with a flurry of left hands. As he goes to complete his Southpaw Shuffle, he spies Deathtrain approaching, so he spins and hits him with the Discus Punch, putting him on wobbly knees. Shane hits the ropes and comes off, nailing a Low Dropkick to the knee that drops Deathtrain down to one. Shane prepares to hit the ropes again to take Deathtrain down, but he turns and runs right into an Everyman Powerslam. Joe hooks the leg for a pin attempt. 1... 2... Deathtrain gets up and Gutwrenches Everyman out of the pin, and holds him before driving him down with a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Deathtrain goes for the pin. 1.... 2... Everyman kicks out.}

Vasco Dias: "High impact moves all around. IWF is where the big boys play."

Trent Helms: "I'm almost certain you're stealing that catchphrase from some place else..."

Terri Morasca: "If you want to win this match, you have to keep one man away long enough to score the three count or a submission on the other. That's easier said that done."

{Deathtrain pulls Everyman up off of the mat and lifts him high in the air, holding him there for the Stalling Suplex. He waits just a little too long, however, allowing Ryan Shane to come from behind and take his leg out with a big Running Chop Block. Deathtrain falls to the mat and Everyman lands on top of him as the referee starts to count. 1.... 2... Deathrain kicks out. Everyman stands up out of the pin and grabs Deathtrain, trying to pull him to a vertical base, but Shane comes from the side and grabs Joe, dropping down and hitting him with a Jawbreaker that sends him stumbling backwards. Shane grabs him under the neck and hits a Snapmare that sends Joe to the ground, and immediately follows it up with a Perfect Rolling Neck Snap. Shane then grabs Everyman's leg and looks to turn him over into a Single Leg Boston Crab, but Joe fights him off, kicking him back with his free leg. He delivers a stick kick to the back on Everyman to keep him grounded long enough to turn his attention back to Deathtrain, who has gotten to one knee. Shane approaches the big man, but Train reaches out with both hands and grabs Shane by the neck, simaltaneously pushing himself up to his feet. He lifts Shane high in the air with the Crucifix Chokelift, and holds him there for a moment before tossing him hard into the turnbuckles. Shane holds himself up in the corner, and Deathtrain charges in... well... like a train and crushes him with a big Corner Clothesline.}

Trent Helms: "Deathtrain, which sounds like a horrible C-level horror movie, is doing work in there."

Vasco Dias: "It's been a back-and-forth match, with no man able to take full control."

{With Shane out of it in the corner, Deathtrain turns his attention to Joe Everyman... who catches him with a boot to the gut as he turns around, and pulls him into Twist of Fate position! Joe spins and goes to complete the move, but the Train of Death pushes him away, avoiding the finisher. Joe turns back around and charges Deathtrain, who scoops him up off of the mat and begins to squeeze the life out of him with a painful Bearhug. Everyman tries to fight out of the move, but it only causes the opponent to tighten his grip around the former NCW National Champion's ribs. Before the referee can check Joe for the submission, Ryan Shane comes flying in out of nowhere and connects with a Missile Dropkick to the back of Deathtrain, sending both opponents to the mat!}

Terri Morasca: "Nice Missile Dropkick from Ryan Shane!"

Trent Helms: "I do it better."

{Ryan Shane picks Everyman up off of the mat and into Suplex postion, lifting and using the ropes for extra power, dropping Joe with the Slingshot Suplex. Ryan floats over into the pin. 1.... 2... Everyman gets his shoulder up. The man from Allen Park gets to his feet and then guides Deathtrain up the rest of the way as well, hitting another Kneeling Jawbreaker, this time on the other opponent. Shane then grabs the stumbling and ducks his head, looking to hit the Right Now-thern Lights Suplex, but Deathtrain responds with a clubbing Axe Handle to the back, breaking his grip. Shane holds his lower back and turns, before turning back and charging Deathtrain, who catches him by the throat with one hand this time, looking for the Dark Cloud Chokeslam! Shane fights him off with some stiff kicks to the leg, and then an Axe Handle to Train's arm, fighting his way out of Chokeslam position. Shane turns to run towards the ropes, but Joe Everyman strikes like a snake, leaping from the mat and catching him by surprise with the EKO! Everyman gets to his feet, knowing that he has to take out Deathtrain, but the big man is waiting, grabbing and lifting him, driving Joe down with the Dark Cloud Chokeslam! Deathtrain gathers himself on his knees before going for the cover. 1.... 2.... Everyman kicks out! Deathtrain goes over and rolls Shane over who is still feeling the effects of the EKO. 1.... 2.... Shane kicks out! Deathtrain, looking frustrated, pulls Ryan Shane up off of the mat and hoists him up on his shoulder, taking him over to the corner and placing the young star in the Tree of Woe. Deathtrain takes his boot and pushes it into Shane's throat, choking him while he's trapped upside down. The referee counts to five and forces Deathtrain to break his choke, before immediately going back to the choke. The official counts again, and Train breaks the choke, getting in the face of the man in the striped shirt. He turns around... and gets BANGED! by Joe Everyman! Joe sits up and shakes the cobwebs loose before slowly crawling into the cover. 1.... 2.... Ryan Shane comes down across Everyman's back with the Muru Splash!}

Terri Morasca: "Ryan Shane recovered from that Tree of Woe and pulled himself up before taking to the air yet again! And he may have just saved this match for himself!"

Trent Helms: "Joe jacked Kanyon's move and nearly broke Deathtrain in half with it. Shane saved this match for the Train as well. But that Frog Splash? Meh."

Vasco Dias: "He knocked the wind out of himself as well. Now all three men are down. Who is going to seize the opportunity?"

{With all three men down, the crowd begins to cheer on Joe Everyman to get him back in the game. Meanwhile, Ryan Shane sits and tries to recover from his own Muru Splash. He gets to his feet and grabs Joe Everyman, holding him up as well. Shane positions around behind Joe and jumps, hitting the Someday Snap Lung Blower! Shane goes around and grabs Everyman's legs, looking to turn him over into the A Crying Shane Cloverleaf! As he ducks down to hook the legs up, Joe reaches up and delivers some big punches, stopping the move in its' tracks. Shane stumbles backward from the punches, allowing Everyman to get to his knees as he tries to get to a vertical base. Suddenly, Shane snaps back into it and runs at Everyman, drilling him in the side of the head with the Shaning Wizard! He goes for the pin! 1..... 2.... Deathtrain pulls Ryan Shane off of the pin! Deathtrain grabs Shane from behind and hooks him up for Welcome to the Nightmare.... but Shane breaks free and spins, hitting a Drop Toe Hold. Deathtrain's face hits the mat and he shoots up to his knees, holding his face... as Ryan Shane hits another Shaning Wizard! Shane crawls on top of Deathtrain for another pin! 1..... 2..... 3!}

Alison Valance: "Here is your winner by pinfall..... RYAN SHANE!"

{Shane stands up out of the cover and has his arm raised in victory as his theme blasts into the arena.}

Vasco Dias: "Ryan Shane just won this match! He pulled off a huge Heir to the Throne Tournament win!"

Terri Morasca: "And now he's one step closer to being the Imperial Champion!"

Trent Helms: "God help us all."

{ Mike Machado is standing next to his new trainer, Juan Carlos Domingo. Juan Carlos is shaking his head, chuckling to himself while Machado is pacing nervously back and forth through the locker room. }

Mike Machado: What am I going to do Juan? That man is angry.

Juan Carlos Domingo: I told you that your new attitude combined with your old wrestling skills were going to get you in trouble, now it’s time for you to pay up, amigo.

{ Machado stops pacing and puts a single finger into the air. }

Mike Machado: I’ve got it! Juan Carlos – I need a mask!

{ Juan Carlos seems to already have one ready for him, he tosses it to Machado and it hits him in the face before dropping to the ground. Machado quickly bends down, picks it up and throws it over his face. }

Juan Carlos Domingo: Now it’s very important that you understand what this mask represents…

Mike Machado: Yes, it represents me not getting my ass kicked by Jake Keeton! He’ll never know who I am with this mask on!

Juan Carlos Domingo: Do you have a change in wrestling attire, or..?

Mike Machado: Nah – but I mean it’s pretty generic anyway… I guess there are these double M’s on my singlet, but they could stand for anything…

Juan Carlos Domingo: Er…

Mike Machado: I’ve got it! Miguel Muchacho! That’s my new name! Miguel..MUCHACHO!

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Freakke the Clown vs Bushido vs Rob Diamond

----------------------------------------------------------

Allison Vallace:"Ladies and Gentlemen this match is set for one fall, first coming down to the ring weighting 197 pounds from Ravenwood, Pennslyvania he is....Freakke the Clown!!!!"

{The music starts up as the lights start to flicker off and green.  Freakke comes out of the back and begins to run down to the ring, raising his arms and shouting to the crowd to get them psyked for the match.  As he approaches the ring, he takes a short run and leaps up onto apron and grabbing the top rope.  Walking over to one corner post, he climbs up and yells to the fans again.  After a moment, he hops over the ropes and jogs over to the opposite turnbuckles to repeat his yell for the other side of the crowd.  Freakke hopped down into the ring and turned to face his opponent. }

Allison Vallace:"And his opponet weighting 220 pounds from Greenwich, Connecticut he is one half of the IWF World tag team champions he is....Rob Diamond!!!!"

{The opening to This is gonna Hurt blares across the pa as Rob Diamond struts out onto the ramp, the crowd pretty much goes nuts for him as he smirks and looks from side to side as the song's lyrics rock your socks off. Rob begins strutting to the ring like the king of the whole damn world, stopping at the middle of the ramp so he can crotch chop your face off as red, white and blue pyro erupts from behind him in the form of an "X"! He smirks again as he hops up onto the apron and climbs up on the corner post from outside and raises his fists up over his head}

Allison Vallace:"And his opponet weighting 220 pounds from Osaka, Japan he is the IWF Cruiserweight champion he is....Bushido!!!!"

{The drums and bass that belong to the intro of "Serious Japanese", by The Teriyaki Boyz blares throughout the arena. A red sun appears on the jumbotron as a giant Japanese flag unfurls from underneath the big screen and covers the entrance of the stage. The Japanese spoken lyrics begin and Miranda emerges from behind the flag, holding it up so Bushido could appear from under it. He steps out to the stage and two hands rise to his face in a martial arts pose, bending forward before making his way towards the ring. Miranda walks behind him, bobbing her head along with the music. No interaction with the audience occurs until at ringside where Bushido stamps a Kanji symbol for HONOR on a fan's forehead. Miranda helps him remove the Samurai armor at ringside where he also takes off his Jingasa respectfully before making his way up the steel steps and entering the ring through the middle rope. Bushido then bows to everyone in the ring before waiting in a corner}

Trent Helms: THREE MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES!

Terri Morasco: This is not Thunderdome...

Trent Helms: It should be.

{For a moment, the three men stand in their corners and wait for one of their opponents to make the first move; after a few seconds, Rob Diamond drops and rolls out of the ring and then lounges casually against the guard-rail as a smug smirk creeps across his face. Rob Diamond watches the two men stare down at him with a mixture of contempt and hatred in their eyes, but doesn't appear to be the least bit affected by this, or by the crowd's whistles and catcalls, and simply motions for them to go ahead and start things off without him. Even the official seems unimpressed with Rob Diamond, but Rob Diamond simply shrugs his shoulders and stays rooted to his spot at ringside. }

Trent Helms: The fans may not like it, and neither do his opponents, but that's a smart move by Rob Diamond to let them begin the match. After all, it prevents them from double teaming him, and means that they'll be forced to wear one another down a bit by wrestling against one another.

{Freakke and Bushido exchange uncertain glances, but both seem to be aware of the fact that the crowd is growing restless and decide that it's best to give the fans their money's worth. With that in mind, they nod toward one another respectfully and then quickly lunge forward into a lock-up. After a few seconds spent jockeying for position, Freakke dives forward and shoots for the leg, but Bushido performs a nice sprawl and tries to cinch in a front chancery. However, Freakke is able to block this attempt by threading his hand in between Bushido's forearm and his neck, and then latches onto it and reverses into a Grounded Hammerlock. Not to be outdone, Bushido quickly sits up and works his way back to his feet, and then reaches around to pull his foe's face down across his shoulder before sitting back down into a modified Stunner! }

Vasco Dias: Nice counter by Bushido to gain control of the contest after that opening exchange. Not too many people are capable of keeping up with Freakke in a mat-based affair, but Bushido has proved himself to be an extremely capable technician in the past, so I guess we shouldn't be that surprised by this.

Trent Helms: Nor should we be surprised if Bushido decides to start mixing in some strikes now that he's got Freakke looking a little stunned. Because Bushido's proved to be extremely capable of doing that in the past, too!

{Freakke clutches his nose and staggers back into the ropes, and Bushido is quick to press his advantage by stepping forward and lighting him up with a hard knife-edged chop! WHOO! Bushido quickly follows up with a stiff forearm to the jaw, and then spins into a Spinning Back Elbow to the gut before capping the sequence with a Rolling Elbow to the cheek of his rival! A badly rocked Freakke slumps against the strands, and Bushido quickly presses his advantage by whipping him into the other set of ropes and gathering him up on the rebound so that he can spin him into a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. WAIT! Freakke uses the momentum of the move to propel himself into a Tilt-a-Whirl Armdrag that sends his opponent skidding along the mat!}

Terri Morasco: Great lucha-based counter by Freakke!

Trent Helms: Terri...I'm not gonna get into a discussion about illegal immigration with you. Let's just call the match, OK?

Terri Morasco: Fine...If you wanna pretend there isn't a problem, I guess that's your right.

{More surprised than actually hurt, Bushido springs to his feet and quickly charges at his opponent, but Freakke uses his rival's momentum to take him down with Japanese Armdrag and then quickly rolls through the move and transitions directly into a tight Short-Armscissors. Freakke begins to crank up the pressure on the hold, causing Bushido to wince in pain; but Bushido keeps his cool and after a moment works himself into position where he can somersault backward to his feet. Bushido pops his arm free of his foe's grip, crosses his rival's legs into cloverleaf, but Freakke quickly kicks out with his legs, knocking his opponent to the mat before his rival can complete the application of his submission hold. Undaunted, Bushido jumps up and charges toward his rival again, but Freakke uses his rival's momentum against him to take him over into an Ipponzei Throw, and quickly chains from this move into a nasty looking Cross Armbreaker in an effort to draw the submission!}

*CROWD POPS FOR THE SUBMISSION ATTEMPT!*

{The crowd in Indiana rises to their feet, sensing that Freakke might be able to make Bushido submit with this armbar variation, and many of them begin to chant Freakke's name as he wrenches on the hold for all that he's worth. However, Bushido isn't about to give his title up that easily, and wows the crowd by lifting himself up into a bridge, before twisting back into position that allows him to perform a Front Handspring and wrench his arm free of the submission! The crowd applauds the submission escape, and even Freakke seems impressed, but it's still apparent that Bushido's feeling the effects of being up in that submission, because he shakes his arm and switches stances in order to keep Freakke from grabbing the arm. Sending this, Freakke quickly feints for the lock-up, and then takes his foe's back when the latter tries to spin away from the attempt. Before Bushido can react, Freakke hooks his arms into a Double Chickenwing and rolls back into an Australian Suplex for another the first pinfall attempt: 1...2...Bushido twists free, but Freakke keeps the hold applied and quickly flips over into a Bridge in order to apply the Cattle Mutilation hold!}

Vasco Dias: Freakke secures another submission locked in pretty tight, and he's got it applied near the center of the ring. Things look pretty bad for Bushido!

{Freakke arches as much as he can on the bridge in an effort to draw the tap out, and in doing so causes Bushido to yell out in pain. The ref leans down and asks Bushido if he wants to quit, but this question is answered with a shake of the head. Instead, Bushido pushes on the canvas with his palms and feet so that he can roll forward into a somersault and end up on top of Freakke for a pinfall attempt of his own: 1...2...Freakke twists out, but Bushido ends up being closer to the ropes, and tries to claw his way toward the strands to force a break of the hold. But just as he's about to do reach out and grab the cable, Freakke floats to the side and scissors the extended arm! Bushido immediately senses what's coming, and brings his other hand up to block, but Freakke responds by wrapping his arm around his rival's other limb and rolls him back into a grounded crucifix pin for another pinfall attempt: 1....2....THR-Bushido twists free, but this move his allowed Freakke to roll his foe back to ring center, and left an opening that enables him to apply the HANGMAN'S CLUTCH!!!}

Trent Helms: HE'S GOT IT LOCKED IN! THIS COULD BE IT!

{Everyone in is screaming their lungs out, either to lend support to Freakke as he cranks on his dreaded submission finisher, or to urge on Bushido as he struggles desperately to resist the effects of the hold. Bushido's eyes have gone saucer wide in pure and utter agony, but he just will not quit and somehow finds the strength needed to pull himself toward the ropes. Freakke shakes his head in disbelief, and wrenches back even harder. Bushido' cries can be heard over the screaming crowd, but he STILL refuses to quit and continues to claw toward the strands. But just as it appears as though Bushido might break the hold, his efforst start to wane, and the ref checks his hand to see if there's any fight left. It falls! She checks again...It falls! But before she checks for a final time, Rob Diamond reminds everyone of his presence by hopping onto the ring apron, and then springboarding off the top into a beautiful Moonsault that connects flush against the unsuspecting form of Freakke!}

Terri Morasco: What the...!?

Vasco Dias: This kid's a genius! Bushido's pretty much done after being in the Clutch for so long, and Freakke was so wrapped up in finishing him off that he forgot about Rob Diamond. Now he's got both men wounded...And in position where he can take BOTH of them out! I love it!

{Up until that point, Rob Diamond had been content to stand and ring side and watch the action unfold before his eyes with an amused grin on his face. But now Rob Diamond is all business as he pulls the stunned Freakke off the mat and sends him flying upside down into the turnbuckles with a brutal Release Tiger Suplex! Freakke crumples to the mat, landing on his head and shoulders, and his condition is made that much worse when Rob Diamond hauls him back to his feet and then lifts him up into an Implant DDT that spikes Freakke's head into the mat! OH!!! Rob Diamond takes a moment to soak in the jeers of the fans and stare down at the quivering form of the Freakke, and then that signature smirk returns as he turns his attention toward his opponent as the latter begins to pull himself off the mat. Rob Diamond regards the masked man with a predatory look in his eye as Bushido finally stands up, and then springs forward so that he can send his flying into the crowd with his vaunted Superkick...!!!! }

Trent Helms: WHAT...!? NOOOO!!!!!!

{...Only to go wide-eyed with show when Bushido somehow manages to reach out and snare the extended limb! The shocked expression on Rob Diamond's face quickly transforms one of distress when Bushido twists into a Dragon Screw Legwhip that sends him crashing to the floor. Without wasting a moment, Bushido rises and pulls Rob Diamond off the mat by the leg he's still holding, and then takes Rob Diamond down with a second Dragon Screw! Bushido picks up Rob Diamond but out of no where Rob Diamond hits Bushido with a Diamond Cutter! Rob Diamond goes to cover Bushido, but as he does he spots Freakke getting back up and with one deft blow he strikes again with another Diamond Cutter! Rob goes for the cover on Freakke, 1...2...3!}

Trent Helms: Big win for Rob here tonight, I wonder if Spike can do the same!?

Terri Morasco: Two Diamond Cutters, devastating!

Vasco Dias: Bushido doesn't look very happy!

{ Bushido punches the mat as Rob makes a quick exit, grinning from ear to ear as he waves at Bushido whilst we cut to a commerical break! }

"Face of the Franchise"

{"Audeamus" by Clocks and Clouds begins to play over the speakers as Will Washington begins walking down to the ring. In his hands was a briefcase with the IWF logo printed on the side. }

Vasco Dias: Here comes Mr. Washington. He runs the Heavyweight Division.

Trent Helms: Not a bad job either. Cross is a got heavyweight champion.

Terrie Morasco: By the looks of that briefcase it seems like he has more business to take care of.

{Will climbs into the ring and is immediately handed a microphone, he waits for the cheers to die down before speaking. }

Will Washington: Ever since I was appointed this job as head of the heavyweight division slash president of wrestling, I have been trying to make sure that I give the fans everything they could want in my division. Action, excitement, and most of all great wrestling.”

{The crowd cheers for that. Will looks around at the happy crowd and smiles.}

Will Washington: Looking back on the first month here in IWF, I think I’ve done just that. Bloody Assizes was an amazing pay per view and we crowned the first ever IWF Heavyweight champion in Xavier Cross and so many other wrestlers really made it crystal clear that they were here to play. I just want to say that I plan to continue to bring you great fans what you want to see. Wich brings me to this briefcase, and the reason I’m out here……”

{Will takes a deep breath.}

Will Washington: Steve Awesome.

{The crowd boos. And Will nods his head an agreement.}

Will Washington: Last week at Bloody Assizes you stormed out to the ring at a pay per view you weren’t even booked to be at and you took over the show to start yelling out demands. Demands that you thought you deserved on your contract based on your self-worth.”

Terrie Morasco: Fire him, Will! I don’t care if he is a huge moviestar!

Trent Helms: Don’t say that about my future broadcast partner Terrie!

Vasco Dias: I hope I’m not out of a job!

Will Washington: Well I promised Steve Awesome that I would have an answer tonight here on Sacrifice. Well I am a man of my word. Here in this briefcase is a contract for him to sign giving him SOME of the benefits he asked for. Steve I’ve been told your somewhere in the building, so please come out here and let’s finish this.”

{Will and the crowd await a response from the entrance way, but for a few moments nothing happens. Until the tron lights up and Steve Awesome appears on the screen with the SKYPE LOGO next to him.}

Steve Awesome: Hey, Will, up here, chump stain. What in the hell do you mean SOME of my demands?

Will Washington: Steve what are you doing? I thought you were in the building!

Steve Awesome: Pfft, I wouldn’t be caught dead in that Podunk little town.

Will Washington: Where are you?

{Steve slurps obnoxiously through the straw of some cocktail.}

Steve Awesome: I’m in my cushy town house doing screwdrivers with some groupies. I told you Will, I don’t work Mondays! But I got you on skype! You just tell me when and where your giving me the Imperial Championship and I’ll be there to pick it up, mmkay.”

{Will shakes his head.}

Will Washington: We will not be just handing you the Imperial Championship. You will have to earn a shot like anybody else would. And also, you will not be getting your own seat on commentary.”

{Steve Awesome reaches up and pulls off his sunglasses, he looks visibly angry.}

Will Washington: We did decide, however, that you were worth a heightened salary based on projected revenue and PR work that you will be doing for the company.”

{Steve’s anger subsides and a cool smile creeps onto his face.}

Steve Awesome: That’s more like it.

Will Washington: And of course, you will be wrestling a part time schedule. Only appearing on pay per view. Your first official match for Imperial Wrestling Federation will take place on July Fourteenth when IWF presents LINEAGE!”

Vasco Dias: Woah, Steve Awesome in action at the next pay per view? Love him or hate him, he’s great to watch in the ring.

Trent Helms: Inside the ring or out of it, it’s a treat to see the guy perform…..except when he’s trying to kill me.

Terrie Morasco: Who will he face?

Will Washington: I still have yet to name an opponent and-“

{Live to rise by Soundgarden starts blaring on the screen when JOE EVERYMAN steps out onto the stage. The crowd begin to cheer as Joe slaps hands on the way to the ring. Joe climbs into the ring and asks a stage
hand for his own microphone.}[/font]

Joe Everyman: I’m sorry to interrupt Will, but I was listening to this in the back and I just had to come out here and see it for myself. Steve Awesome, number four, in the list of all time greats of NCW, the Face of the Franchise, is coming back to wrestling.”

{Joe looks at the briefcase.}

Joe Everyman: Well there is the contract….”

{Joe looks up at the screen to see an annoyed Steve Awesome.}

Joe Everyman: There’s Steve Awesome.

{Joe turns back to Will.}

Joe Everyman: You put two and two together and that equals…..I WANT THAT JACKASS AT LINEAGE!”

{The crowd pops for the outburst.}

Joe Everyman: I work hard EVERYDAY! Just like each and every one of these people do! All throughout my career I’ve worked hard and BUSTED my ass for each opportunity I ever got. I work every house show I’m booked, every
Monday night I’m scheduled. I’ll work Tuesday, I’ll work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and I’ll be damned if I don’t work twice on Sunday. Meanwhile….that asshole!….

{Joe extends a finger up at the tron at Steve Awesome.}

Joe Everyman:…… Is up there LITERALLY phoning it in on skype and he gets a fancy contract worth a bunch of money to practically do nothing!? No way! Not in Everyman’s America! I want to be Steve’s first opponent at Lineage. Joe Everyman versus Steve Awesome! Make it happen Will!

Trent Helms: Wow, Joe Everyman is really showing some balls here tonight.

Vasco Dias: I agree with him though. Somebody should be getting in Steve’s face.

Terrie Morasco: Even if it is via Skype.

Steve Awesome: Joe, Joe, Joe….let’s be serious here. You don’t want that happen.

Joe Everyman: Oh I do Steve. I’ve said it a million times, do NOT question my heart. I may lose seven matches in a row, but there’s always a chance that that eighth match is going to be a win. Hell, it could be one of those big wins, like when I beat Lance Ryan or become a three time NCW National Title. If you question my heart even for a second, you could end up losing your first match back.”

{Steve just smirks.}

Steve Awesome: Feeling confident tonight eh? Alright Joe, you want to face me in a match? I accept your challenge and after I’m done with you, you won’t have a heart left to question. If you even make it there…..”

{All of a sudden someone comes running down the ramp!}

Trent Helms: THAT’S JAYSON MATTHEWS!

Vasco Dias: He is one of Steve Awesome’s lackeys!

{Jayson slides into the ring but Joe see’s him coming and ducks under a punch and gets the better of Jayson with punches of his own. He backs Jayson into the ropes and finishes his combo with a stinging left that
sends Jayson flipping out of the ring, but right when he turns around a huge big boot practically goes directly through Joe Everyman’s face.}

Vasco Dias: That must be JOHNNY ROTTEN!

Terrie Morasco: The other member of The Motor City Mafia and apparently Steve’s other lackey.

Trent Helms: Man, that big boot was vicious! It sounded like it broke his jaw.

{Steve Awesome laughs on the big screen.}

Steve Awesome: See you at Lineage Joe.

{The screen cuts out as Motor City Mafia pose over Joe’s prone body.}

Trent Helms: What else could possibly happen tonight?

MATCH
HEIR TO THE THRONE
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Lex Sense vs Mike Machado vs Cable Arcane
----------------------------------------------------------

Vasco Dias: The Heir to the Throne tournament has called upon 8 men representing every division in IWF. Cruiserweights and Heavyweights clash against Tag Teams and Men of Steel in this epic tourney that will see all men eliminated until only one remains.

Trent Helms: Quite a mouthful you got there. Just like your mom on a Saturday Night.

Terri Morasco: Nicely said!... About the tournament and not what Vasco's mom puts in her mouth.

{ The opening guitar riffs to “Mustache Man” by Cake blare over the PA system, leading into an explosion of pyrotechnics. Machado rushes down the ramp, wearing his new luchador mask and quickly makes his way over to the ring announcer. }

Alison Valance: “I’m sorry, I’ve been told it’s... hailing from “Somewhere in Mexico or something” ...MIGUEL MUCHACHO!!

Terri Morasco: Right... Mike Machado has won the hearts of an entire nation by giving the fans one hell of a showing at Bloody Assizes. It's hard not to be a fan of "The Mediocre One".

Trent Helms: As long as that mustache continues to glisten with sweat I do believe the kid will go far in this business.

Vasco Dias: I hate to disagree but Machado is one of the many reasons wrestling is laughed at. The 25 points he gained at the Battle Royale was nothing but a fluke.

"... is there any good left in ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

{"Good Man" by Devour the Day hits the PA as the lights in the arena begin to strobe red along with the beat of the music. Cable Arcane steps out onto the ramp, his face hidden by the hood of his jacket as the music kicks into gear. Arcane makes his way down the ramp to the beat of the music and rolls in under the bottom rope. He stands up in the middle of the ring as the singer begins to belt the lyrics and throws both his arms out to the side in sort of Jesus pose. The music dies down as he throws his hood back and waits for the match to start.}

Vasco Dias: Cable Arcane, now there's a wrestler deserving of the 20 points he earned at Bloody Assizes. Technically sound and one good looking kid.

Trent Helms: I didn't know you were into good looking kids, Vasco. However, I will say that while both of these men are capable of one day being chosen as heralds for Galactus, they have one hell of a world eater to face tonight.

Terri Morasco: Be that as it may, Cable or Mike are more than capable of holding their own against any competitor.

{The haunting strum of an acoustic guitar ushers in Mark Collie's, "In Time" as the ring is illuminated with a black light.}

"I can tell what you're thinking,
 All your doubts and fears.
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find
The reason I'm here."

{The final words echo into the ether and the song transitions into the organs that intro "Destroy the World Around Me", by Mushroomhead. A wave of fog has begun to blanket the stage, traversing towards the crowd and ring. An audience stands still in anticipation, some frightened others enthralled. A hooded Sense raises up from underneath the stage, staring out into a raucous audience that love to hate the man with no fear. Once risen, Sense removes the hood and then raises his arms into the air as pillars of fire explode one after the other across the stage. Sense steps through the flames as the harsh drums, guitars and vocals blare throughout the arena. He stomps his way down the ramp to the beat of the drums, tearing off his sleeveless jean jacket and hood along the way. Sense stalks around the corner of the ring before grabbing the top rope and pulling himself up and over and into the squared circle, releasing a primal scream that brings the fans into a near riot.}

Terri Morasco: Lex Sense is a mystery to me but the seven foot, three hundred and fifty pound mountain of muscle sure knows how to get a crowd going.

Trent Helms: All you need to know is that you're staring at The Future. One of the best big men I've ever seen wrestle.

Vasco Dias: The bigger they are the harder they fall. Any man can lose on any given day.

{The ref inspects Cable and Mike for weapons but as he approaches Lex he gives it a second thought and just calls for the bell. Cable immediately launches at Sense without a care in the world, hitting a running forearm across his bald head. Mike finishes up his squats and turns to see the action has started without him as Cable has Sense pushed up against the corner hitting a series of punches and kicks to the cornered beast. Machado begins his march towards the brawl, looking to catch Cable off-guard from behind with a perfectly executed standing dropkick, however, his feet were inches away from the back of Cable's head and all Arcane felt was the wind as he heard Machado crash on the mat behind him. Cable loses focus for just one second to turn around to see what has occurred, giving Sense enough time to lean in with a headbutt to the side of Cable's head. Arcane stumbles back in a daze before two meaty paws wrap themselves around Cable's throat. Sense lifts him into the air, choking the life out of him while his feet dangle before throwing him against the turnbuckles, hitting three stiff back elbows before placing a boot under the chin with a Corner Boot Choke.}

Vasco Dias: Well, Mike Machado was pretty useless there.

Trent Helms: What are you talking about? That was one of the best dropkicks I have ever seen.

Terri Morasco: It was pretty spectacular but I think it helped Sense out more than anyone.

{Arcane punches at the leg but it only makes Sense tighten the pressure as the ref begins his count to 5. Nearing four Lex doesn't look like he's about to let go so the ref grabs at his shoulder to pull him off but Sense shoves him away with one hand, stepping out of the move to argue with him. Cable drops to his knees, trying to catch his breath when he notices Mike getting on all fours directly behind Sense, who is too busy arguing with the ref to notice. Lex turns his attention back to Cable and Arcane rises with "The Blackened Sun Kick" (Roundhouse Kick) only Sense is a little too tall and manages to catch the leg! Sense smirks but the smirk is soon kicked off his face with in enziguri that backpedals the big man into Machado, who was still on all fours. Machado inadvertently trips up the giant who stumbles over his body, giving Cable the opportune time to rush in and jump off of Machado's back with another "Blackened Sun Kick"! Only this one connects with the side of Lex's head, dropping him to a knee. Mike notices his part in this and his mustache curls into a smile.}

Terri Morasco: Two vicious kicks to the side of the head but Lex has not gone down further than his knee.

Trent Helms: This man can take a lot of pain. Trust me.

Vasco Dias: And Machado actually comes through. Though I don't think he did it purposefully.

{Mike jumps to his feet with a classic 80's fist pump as if he himself felled the giant, running towards the corner and hopping on the second turnbuckle to rile up his fans. Cable goes back on the attack, kicking at Sense's chest but the man keeps brushing off the boots as if he were swatting flies. Machado turns to see that Cable is back at it and refusing to be shown up he climbs up to the top rope, staring at all his fans before launching off with the slowest moonsault ever seen. Cable turns around in time to simply walk out of its path while Sense, still on one knee, looks up and catches him gingerly with a Fireman's Carry before getting both feet under him and then drilling Machado into the mat with a "Left Senseless" (Death Valley Driver)! The entire ring shakes but Arcane is not letting up as he goes back on the attack with some punches as Sense was standing but Lex has had enough and shoots two hands forward into Arcane's chest, shoving him into the ropes which work like a springboard, sending Cable back into Sense who launches himself skyward from a kneeling position with an "Into the Void" (Shoulderblock Clothesline)! Cable flips head over heads before landing awkwardly on the mat.}

Vasco Dias: This doesn't look good for Cable and Mike. Sense with momentum is not something you want.

Trent Helms: Sense with anything is not something they want. That man is a beast.

Terri Morasco: Why doesn't he go for the pin?

Trent Helms: Because he's not through.

{Instead of going for a pin, Sense rips Arcane from off the mat, bringing him back to his feet to hit a thunderous European uppercut. Cable stumbles against the corner in a daze. Sense looks to Mike and finds him holding up the T with his hands as he's sat against the corner. Lex shakes his head before rushing towards Cable with a massive corner body splash only Arcane slips out of the way. Sense's chest connects with the turnbuckles, stumbling backwards into Machado and a Sleeper Hold! Mike has it locked on tight, or at least he thinks he does until Sense grabs his arm, pulls it off the submission and then one armed clotheslines Mike back to the mat. And then immediately after Cable comes up from behind with the "Dead but Rising" (Backstabber)! Sense finally drops completely for the first time in this match.}

Vasco Dias: It took a lot but the behemoth has finally fallen. Small victory there.

Trent Helms: As small as Vasco's junk.

Vasco Dias: Why do you have a job?

{Lex grimaces in pain as he works to get back to a vertical base. Meanwhile, Cable stands behind him with his arms out, ready to lock in his submission finisher. What he didn't expect was for Machado to come up from behind and hit the "ARM DRAGON" (Arm Drag)! Cable rolls to his feet confusedly and charges only to be hit with another "ARM DRAGON"! This one sending him flying out of the ring. The crowd is going wild as Machado looks to finish this, stalking Sense who is rising to his feet before taking his muscular arms into a Butterfly Lock and then drilling the big man's bald head into the mat with the "Handle Bar Mustache DDT" (Double-Arm DDT)! The crowd is going nuts as Mike pins him and 1... 2... SENSE BENCHPRESSES MIKE SEVERAL FEET INTO THE AIR OFF OF HIM!}

Terri Morasco: So close. Imagine if he would've picked up the win right there and then.

Vasco Dias: I'd rather not.

Trent Helms: Such a spoilsport.

{Sense begins pushing himself to his feet, Mike on the attack with fists that look more like love taps. An infuriated Sense catches an arm and then Irish Whips Machado into the ropes, catching him on the rebound with a vicious AA Spinebuster! Mike is nearly slammed through the ring before Sense takes him by the legs, wraps them up around his and then turns Mike over into the "Lex Marks the Spot" (AA Spinebuster transitioned into El Lasso from El Paso)!}

Terri Morasco: If Lex makes Machado submit right here that's 10 more points added to Lex's 40.

{Mike is in excruciating pain as Sense wrenches the legs back. However, when it looked like Mike was about to tap, Cable springboards into the ring with a wheel kick that connects with the back of Lex's head! Sense stumbles out of the submission, grabbing the back of his head as he nears the ropes and doesn't have enough time to react against the dropkick that sends him tumbling out of the ring. Mike, worse for wear, manages to get on his knees behind Cable, who was distracted by Sense for the moment as was the ref and both didn't see the uppercut low blow that Cable is now reeling from! Machado takes Cable by the head and rolls him up with the "Might of Mediocrity" (Small Package) and 1... 2.... SENSE REACHES IN AND PULLS MIKE OFF THE PACKAGE AND OUT OF THE RING BEFORE UNCEREMONIOUSLY TOSSING HIM THROUGH THE BARRICADE! Sense then slides back into the ring, lying in wait as Cable stumbles back to his feet and into "The Prediction" (Black Hole Slam)! Lex hooks a leg and 1... 2... 3!}

Trent Helms: That's 5 more points for Sense. At this rate nobody is catching up.

Terri Morasco: Lex Sense is an impressive specimen but you have to give it up to Cable and Mike as well. Great match.

Vasco Dias: Indeed. However, I must say that I am now a Sense guy.

Trent Helms: Figures you'd be some dude's guy.

{"Destroy the World Around Me" Hits the speakers as Sense rises to his feet with a smirk. The ref tries to raise his hand but Sense simply shoves him away and steps out of the ring, celebrating in his own way. On his way up the ramp, he spots Mike getting back to his feet on the outside. Machado is barely aware that the match is over when Sense comes barreling towards him from behind with a vicious "Back to the Future" (Clothesline from Hell from Behind)! Mike is sent rolling forward and officials immediately get in between him and Sense.}

Terri Morasco: That's just sick! The match is over.

Trent Helms: Nobody ever said he was a good guy.

{Sense's theme song continues to play as he makes sure both of his opponents are down before enjoying his handiwork. The crowd boos furiously as Sense makes his way out of the arena.}

MATCH
DIAMOND'S LINGERIE INVITATIONAL
Portia Roberts vs Isabella Maldini vs Kate Steele vs Amber Richards vs Jennifer Famularo vs Alexis Morrison vs Ashley Mastrangelo

----------------------------------------------------------

{ We rejoin the show to reveal Katherine Lockheart stood in the centre of the ring, which is now draped with a burgundy cover, ready for the following contest. She waits for the crowd to die down a little before raising the mic to her lips. }

Katherine Lockheart: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the first ever IWF Lingerie Invitational!

{ The crowd pops, especially the men as a few wolf whistles can be heard as Katherine smiles. }

Katherine Lockheart: Due to the regrettable post match incidence at Bloody Assizes I am saddened to inform you all that Ryleigh Knite has had to withdraw from the Heiress to the Throne tournament due to an injury sustained in a vicious assault. Subsequently, we are now required to select her replacement… which brings me to this evening.

My descision to hold a Lingerie Invitational has proven… controversial, to say the least, but let me explain a thing or two for those of you who are jumping to conclusions about my abilities as the head of this division. A Diamond is not just a wrestler; she is so much more than that. Not only should she be an exceptional athlete, she should be strong of will, confident in her body not just her ability and overall, she must be able to express her individuality in a variety of ways.

Each of these ladies has ultimately failed to earn either the Ruby Championship, or the right to initially compete in the Heiress to the Throne tournament. I have seen too little to make an informed judgement on who, based on their ability, deserves to replace Ryleigh so, in my ultimate wisdom, I have set them this challenge. Tonight, they must express their personality, display another facet of their arsenal, so, without further ado, although me to introduce our competitors this evening!

{ The lights dim, replaced with a red haze as some “Fool in Paradise” begins to play and the ladies make their way from behind the curtain. Some of the girls are dressed in subtle yet respectful gowns which cover up their bodies whilst some seemingly have refused to join in the festivities. They file slowly to the ring, taking their time to each walk up the ring steps and get into the ring as the crowd applaud them as Katherine leads them to do so as the girls line up behind her. }

Katherine Lockheart: Welcome ladies, I am glad to see that most of you have gotten into the spirit of the evening. Now, please allow me to introduce to you our guests for the evening who will be judging this competition, Mike Machado and Jake “The Ace” Conway!

{ The crowd cheer and boo simultaneously for both Mike and Ace who emerge to the same music. Mike, however, has a towel over his head he stands atop the ramp psyching himself up flanked by none other than Gibford Famularo, who shouts motivational phrases at Mike as he skips on the spot whilst the Ace just shakes his head and makes his way down the ramp. As he gets close to the ring Katherine leans over the ropes and seems to say “Consider this a personal gift” as Jake stares at her. Eventually Mike follows his colleague down the ramp as Gib continues to pump him up in a scene reminiscent of Rocky as Mike throws punches…for some reason. When the pair both get inside the ring they make their way over to a table covered with a fine black silk cloth and take their seats. }

Vasco Dias: I thought this idiot had moved on from Gib?

Trent Helms: Perhaps he has learned everything about the in ring competition from Gib, but he couldn’t ask for better advice in a contest like this one.

Terri Morasco: Mike Machado needs Gib to tell him whether to be aroused or not?

Katherine Lockheart: Welcome gentlemen, I am glad to have your expertise this evening.

{ Mike waves energetically at the crowd as the Ace sits stoically taking a sip from a glass of water before Katherine continues. }

Katherine Lockheart: So, I see no reason to put off this contest any longer, so, allow me to get this show under way by introducing to you first, our latest acquisition who I am reliably informed will have an exciting future in this business, Amber Richards!

{ Some music begins to play as the lights dim once again and the spotlight falls on Amber Richards who stands, dressed in a tank top and a pair of jeans. She stands with her arms crossed, clearly completely un-amused by the whole encounter as the crowd begin to heckle and boo her, which seemingly does little but get under her ski as she turns around and starts to shout back at them over the top ropes. Mike studies her intently as Gib counsels him as he nods and then gets up and wolf whisltes at Amber who immediately turns her head and glares at him. She marches across the ring and plants a massive slap across his face as the Ace simply facepalms. Mike is in complete shocked when suddenly he starts flailing his arms, asking Gib to hold him back as Amber just cocks and eyebrows at him, shakes her head and walks back to her spot whilst Gib does absolutely nothing to actually hold Mike back. He turns and says “Wow, she’s feisty” before taking his seat again. }

Trent Helms: Where the hell are the boobs?

Vasco Dias: Look at Machado, I think he may be in love.

Terri Morasco: Amber made her feelings about this evening quite clear.

Katherine Lockheart: Well… that was an interesting interpretation of the contest, though may I remind you ladies to not place your hands on our judges… one of them is a… married man and the other is… Mike Machado. Now, allow me to introduce the next contestant, she is the protégé of Mike Laszlo himself, Ashley Mastrangelo!

{ The music begins to play once again as the spotlight falls on Ashley whose eyes are closed as she gives herself a little pep talk before stepping forward, her fingers wrapped on either end of her gown’s belt as she slowly unties the knot, loosening her gown. The crowd cheers as she brushes her long blonde hair off of her shoulders and down her back before she pulls the gown apart to reveal a set of baby blue bra and panties which certainly wins the approval of the audience who start to whistle. After her initial apprehension Ashley begins to get into the spirit of the competition as she walks around the ring hyping up the crowd to get behind her, showing her playful side which she clearly picked up in her previous profession. Jake calmly makes some notes as Mike just stares gobsmacked at Ashley who eventually makes her way back to her spot, waving again at the audience as she feels confident she has made a good account of herself. }

Katherine Lockheart: Let’s hear it for Ashley Mastrangelo ladies and gentlemen!

Vasco Dias: Why do I get the impression that little show wasn’t for our benefit?

Trent Helms: What do you mean?

Terri Morasco: I think Ashley hopes a certain Mr Laszlo was paying attention…

Katherine Lockheart: Now, allow me to introduce our next participant, Portia Roberts!

{ The lights dim again as the spot light falls on Portia as she begins her steps forward to the middle of the ring where she too starts to loop the belt of her gown around her fingers as she suddenly pauses and looks down, taking a deep breath as she mutters something about “I’m going to kill you Bishop…” under her breath before she loosens her gown and gently slides it off of her body to reveal a rather skimpy set of white lace panties and bra, complete with white suspenders. Once again this proves very popular to the audience who begins to whistle as Portia begins to strut around the ring, clearly putting her all into the encounter to earn her spot in the tournament. She walks past Mike and Ace, shooting them a smile before returning to her place in the lineup as Katherine claps her performance. }

Katherine Lockheart: Congratulations Miss Roberts that was quite the performance. Let’s hear it for Portia!

Trent Helms: This is the greatest event in history of our sport.

Vasco Dias: There’s no bear hugs... we really need them to do some bear hugs.

Terri Morasco: You two are unbelievable.

Trent Helms: Portia’s ass was…

Terri Morasco: Stop it!

{ The crowd clap as Katherine prepares to introduce the next competitor. }

Katherine Lockheart: Our next contestant is none other than Alexis Morrison!

{ Once again the lights go out and the spotlight falls on Alexis who is dressed in black leather trousers with a studded belt and a black tanktop with spiked wristbands. She takes a few steps forwards and begins to slowly unbuckle her belt, sliding it out ring by ring as she walks slowly over to the judges, a seductive grin on her face as she smiles at both judges. The wolf whistles begin as she leans over the table, removes her belt and…proceeds to wrap it around Mikes throat! Gib screams “Nooooooo!” as he and Ace pry the enraged Alexis off of Mike who seems slightly aroused by the whole experience before security rush down to collect Alexis as she kicks and screams angrily as the crowd watch on in grim fascination. }

Katherine Lockheart: Erm… thank you, Alexis, but I am afraid I will have to disqualify you from the competition for behaviour like that.

Terri Morasco: There is definitely a little spark in Alexis Morrison!

Trent Helms: Perhaps I should tell Mike about the wonder of auto-erotic self-asphyxiation…

Vasco Dias: Well that is just not in the spirit of competition.

{ Katherine waits for Alexis to finally be removed before clearing her throat and preparing to introduce the next contestant. }

Katherine Lockheart: Let’s get back to this, shall we? Allow me to introduce our next contestant, we may have already seen what she has to offer once but she’s full of surprises, Isabella Maldini!

{ The lights dim once again as some sultry music begins to play as Isabella slowly strides forward, dressed in a little black dress and a pair of high heels. She flicks her hair over her shoulder with a gentle swish of her head before reaching behind her back and slowly unzipping her dress as she grins into the camera. Reaching up she places her thumbs beneath the straps of her dress as she slowly and seductively pulls them of each shoulder before gently sliding the dress down over her bust revealing a black silk bra before she reaches her midriff. She bends over, carefully directing her rear towards the judges as she slides her dress over the curves of her hips and rear before revealing a match set of panties before she removes the dress completely. Tossing it over her shoulder she walks towards the judges before tossing the dress to Gib who looks around before turning and sniffing the perfume. Isabella places two hands on the table and leans over, cocking her head playfully at Jake who remains calm before hopping up delicately onto the table, one leg bent up and the over laid flat out as she bends backwards and stares Machado in the eyes. Mike stares a little nervously as he just looks at her bust but as he leans forward to touch Isabella she slaps his hand away whilst giggling before slowly walking back to her spot, looking back over her shoulder where she winks at Mike. }

Katherine Lockheart: Thank you Isabella for that… performance!

{ The crowd wolf whistle as Isabella blows kisses to them. }

Trent Helms: God. Damn.

Vasco Dias: Why the hell did those two get to judge this?

Terri Morasco: Jealous boys?

Katherine Lockheart: Well, we are down to our final two competitors…

{ The crowd boos in disappointment. }

Katherine Lockheart: I know, I know, but let’s allow these ladies their moment to shine, please welcome first, the aspiring rock chick, Kate Steele!

{ Once again the lights dim as Kate steps forward dressed in a short plaid skirt and a leather jacket with a pair of large black boots, very much the rock chick. She walks forward as the spotlight follows her as she pops a hip out to the side before reaching for the belt around her skirt which she rips off in one fluid motion revealing a pair of red panties, tossing it up and around her neck as she smiles at the camera and the crowd go wild. Then she hooks her hands inside the leather jacket before pushing it quickly over her shoulders to reveal a tight black top emblazoned with her bands name as she throws the belt and jacket over the top rope before strutting happily around the ring, making sure to pass by the judges who make a few notes Gib whispers gently in Mike’s ear. Eventually Kate makes her way back to her spot in the line-up where she leans back on the ropes smiling. }

Katherine Lockheart: Well done Miss Steele, an interesting spin on things.

Vasco Dias: Blatant advertising… although I have an urge to visit a record store now.

Trent Helms: I’m on iTunes as we speak…

Terri Morasco: You two are just way too easy…

Katherine Lockheart: Now, we are down to our final contestant, you all know her well, please welcome Jennifer Famularo!

{ As the lights dim we see a shot of Gib covering his eyes up, although he quite clear has them split open so he can peak through at his son’s fiancée as she stares at the other women, giving them a little smack talk before marching to the middle of the ring, standing up proudly as she look at the camera. Jennifer smiles as she throws her head back and practically tears the gown off her body to reveal a set of incredibly skimpy pink lace panties and a bra which leaves incredibly little to the imagination. Mike’s jaw almost literally hits the table as Gibs eyes widen from behind his hands as he has to use one to grab the ropes as the crowd whistle loudly at Jenny who starts to strut proudly around the ring past her opponents as she is brimming with total confidence. Jenny goes over to the judges table and sits down on it; looking over her shoulder at the judges as she mouths a few words to them before pulling herself up off the table. Jenny then proceeds to strut around the ring showing off her finely toned body before arriving back in her original spot as she looks smugly at the other girl, saying “nobody can top that”. }

Trent Helms: I like this Famularo in a way I never thought I could feel about one ever again.

Vasco Dias: Yes… wait, again?

Terri Morasco: These ladies have definitely given this their all on the whole this evening, you can sense how much they want this opportunity.

Katherine Lockheart: Well, that was definitely the right way to top off our contest this evening! Thank you, Jennifer. Now, however comes the… to excuse the pun, hard part, for our judges. Gentlemen, please reveal your choice for the winner of this evenings tournament. Jake… if you would…

{ Jake closes his eyes and mulls over his decision, writing it down on a small whiteboard as a drum roll begins to play. A spotlight falls on him as he turns around his board to reveal “ISABELLA MALDINI” as the camera cuts to the Italian who smiles and blows Jake a kiss. }

Katherine Lockheart: Well, congratulations Isabella, you’ve won the first vote, remember girls, if Mike choose another I will cast the deciding vote, so Mike, if you please….

{ Once again a drum roll begins as the spot light falls on Mike who is sweating profusely, clearly under intense pressure as Gib wipes he brow, patting him on the shoulders telling him “He is the man” amongst other inspirational phrases. He takes a deep breath and scribbles something down before turning his board around, revealing that he too has also written, in incredibly wobbly handwriting with a smiley face and his phone number, “ISABELLA MALDINI”. Gib slaps Mike around the head as the camera cuts to Isabella who is delirious, jumping up and down to the delight of the audience, although she clearly knows what she is doing but before Katherine can speak she rolls out of the ring and quickly gets out of dodge at the other frustrate ladies are starting to clearly become irritated. }

Katherine Lockheart: Congratulations Isabella, you’ve earned your spot in the Heiress to the Throne tournament…

{ Isabella walks up the ramp pleased with herself as the other girls begin to argue amongst themselves as Katherine is forced to quickly step in. }

Katherine Lockheart: Hey, girls! Easy there, don’t think I have forgotten about you. I know you’re all disappointed, but never fear, just because we’ve addressed the Heiress to the Throne issue, it doesn’t mean we’ve addressed the Ruby Championship issue…

{ The crowd cheer as the girls seemingly calm down, some covering themselves up with their gowns which they’ve retrieved. }

Katherine: As of next week, you will be paired up into three separate tag teams, in the first week you will compete in a three way tag match and the losing team will be eliminated then, the following week the remaining teams will compete to find a winner. But that isn’t the end of it, at the end of this journey you must both make a choice, do you share your shot, or do you steal? If you both share, you’ll both face Tara Fenix for her Ruby Championship…

{ The crowd cheers again as the girls nod their head, though Katherine raises a finger. }

Katherine Lockheart: But! If one of you steals and the other shares, that girl will steal a single shot for herself and if you both choose to steal, the title shot will go to the team you defeated in the final. Can you trust you new ally or not? I am excited to find out ladies.

Terri Morasco: You know, that actually sounds pretty interesting! I look forward to seeing this!

Vasco Dias: Perhaps, but they’ll be clothed.

Trent Helms: This was the finest moment in television history.

{ Terri shakes her head as the shot shows the Diamond’s arguing amongst each other as Katherine Lockheart exits the ring, waving to the fans as we go to a commercial break. }

MATCH
HEIRESS TO THE THRONE
HANDICAP MATCH
Eternity & Ayla St. James vs Alysson Gardner

----------------------------------------------------------

{The first chords for "The Pretender" hit the PA, as images of Alysson in action are shown in slow-motion in the titantron. When the drums kick in, the tron starts flashing slices of action in an incredible speed, as Alysson shows atop the entrance ramp with her motorcycle, forcing the engine so to make a loud roar noise as the crowd cheers on. After that, she jumps off the bike and removes her helmet, looking over the crowd, before throwing up the horns, making an X with her arms.}

Alison Valance: The following contest is a Heiress To The Throne Handicap Match scheduled for one fall, introducing first, making her way to the ring from New York City, New York...she is The Goddess of Xtreme...ALYSSSSSON GARRRRDNERRRR

{After that, the Big Red rushes down to the ring, sliding in and showing off for the crowd, throwing more cross-arm horns.}

Vasco Dias: Now here is a remarkable young woman with a chip on her shoulder and an issue with the way our Diamonds Division is being run it seems.

Terri Morasco: Personally I don't know what the issue is, this match wouldn't have even happened if Alysson and Ayla hadn't taken it upon themselves to attack young Ryleigh, so Miss Lockheart has been forced into the position, to exert her authority and so them who's boss...

"1.....2....1...2....1,2,3,4!"

{With that, the song "Love Bites(But so do I)" by the band Halestorm begins to play. Ayla struts out, doing a little shake with the song, then struts down to the ring, throwing her arms out wildly, basking in all the attention.}

Alison Valance: And her opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada....AYLA SAINT JAAAAAAMMMESSS

{She nimbly leaps up onto the ring apron, and turns, hopping up to sit on the top rope. She blows a kiss in a sweeping arc to the crowd, then lets herself fall backwards, landing on her feet in the ring. She bounces around excitedly, waiting for the match to start.}

Vasco Dias: And here's a woman who is caught in the middle here tonight.

{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. This gesture seems to trigger a change in the lights as they are now raised and she continues her journey down the ramp, carrying her hat in her right hand accompanied by the chorus.}

Alison Valance: And her partner, making her way to the ring...from The Other Side, ETERRRRNITTTY.

{Eternity looks at both Alysson and Ayla, the two friends gesturing for Eternity to get in the ring, but Eternity stops at the foot of the ramp and actually sits down, cross-legged on the floor and shakes her head. Alysson looks confused as she looks over at Ayla, then shakes her head as Alysson runs out of the ring, determined to bring Eternity into the ring by force, but as Alysson approaches Eternity, the sound of thunder is heard and the lights flicker before going out completely.}

Vasco Dias: What the hell?

Terri Morasco: Well, it seems Eternity was making the wise decision not to get in the ring with both of these allies...

Trent Helms: Well according to the ruling of this match, Ayla couldn't attack Eternity anyway...

Vasco Dias: Those rules only apply after the bell to officially start this contest has started. And I think Eternity knew that.

{The lights return and we find that Eternity and Ayla have switched places, Ayla is stood at the foot of the ramp looking confused as Alysson approaches her and Eternity is in the ring. Alysson then turns around and slides into the ring and as she does so the Diamond's referee calls for the bell to start the contest. Alysson and Eternity lock up in the centre of the ring as Ayla calmly makes her way to her corner and climbs the apron. In the ring Alysson gets the advantage using her weight advantage to lift Eternity and body slam her in the centre of the ring. Alysson then follows up with a standing moonsault to the fallen Eternity and Ayla seems to be enjoying every moment of it, even blowing kisses to her comrade to applaud her efforts. Alysson goes for the quick cover...1...2...Eternity gets a shoulder up. Alysson isn't too frustrated by this as the fiery redhead feels she is firmly in control.}

Terri Morasco: Alysson has taken firm control of this match from the very beginning.

Vasco Dias: Well I'm sure Alysson is all too aware that the odds are against her in this match...

Trent Helms: At least that's the theory...

{She allows Eternity back to her feet and irish whips her across the ring, into an opposite corner away from Ayla effectively isolating her, Alysson than runs and tries to nail Eternity with a clothesline in the turnbuckle but Eternity moves out of the way, and Alysson stops herself from colliding with the turnbuckle as Eternity jumps up behind Alysson grabbing her head and bringing her down with a neckbreaker to suddenly halt Alysson's momentum and turn the tide. Eternity follows up with a series of stiff stomps to the back of Alysson's head and the referee warns Eternity to get Alysson out of the ropes. Eternity cocks her head to the side as she eyes the referee curiously before turning her attention back to Alysson. Eternity drags the redhead to her feet, propping her into the corner, Eternity lifts Alysson into a seated position on the turnbuckle, but Alysson has regained enough of her bearings to kick Eternity away as she is sat on the turnbuckle, Eternity stumbles back, clutching her face and almost blindly tries to run at Alysson but Alysson's experience now means she has stood herself on the top rope and comes down on a charging Eternity with a mushroom stomp to her shoulders. Alysson hops on to the canvas as Eternity goes down and laughs, winking at Ayla. This time the confident redhead peels Eternity off the mat and attempts to irish whip her into Ayla's corner, but Eternity has enough to reverse it, and pulls Alysson back into a short arm clothesline. Alysson goes down, but not for long as Eternity pulls her to her feet and delivers a quick snap suplex. Eternity transitions into a pin...1...2...Alysson gets a shoulder up.}

Vasco Dias: Momentum has been turning on a dime here in this match...

{Eternity almost pulled off an upset here...}

Trent Helms: It would have been an upset to everybody else except Katherine Lockheart.

{Eternity gets to her feet and allows Alysson to do the same, and the two women once again lock up, moving to the centre of the ring and this time it is Eternity who gets the upper hand, twisting Alysson's arm behind her back into a hammerlock before lifting and scoop slamming Alysson on to it. With Alysson down, Eternity skips over to her corner, blowing a kiss at Ayla before holding a hand out inviting Ayla for the tag. Ayla sighs and slowly shakes her head more out of resignation than refusal as she nonchalanty slaps Eternity's hand accepting the tag.}

Vasco Dias: And now Ayla finally enters this match...

Terri Morasco: It really doesn't seem like she wants to be in there right now.

Trent Helms: Well she doesn't really have a choice if she wants to accumulate points for the tournament.

{Ayla enters the ring and runs up to a recovering Alysson and plants her with a beautiful tornado DDT, Ayla then bounces to her feet and looks toward the turnbuckle, she scales it and poses for the fans, blowing kisses at them and we are not certain if Ayla is genuinely showboating or just allowing her friend to recover, either way Eternity doesn't seem too impressed with her partners attitude. Alysson has indeed found her bearings and she scales the same turnbuckle to meet her friend and rips Ayla off the top rope with a huge Belly to Belly suplex as the crowd cheer. With the momentum suitably turned back into her favour, Alysson smiles as she waits in the corner for her buddy to sit up and as soon as Ayla does so, Alysson runs up to her and nails her in the face with a shining wizard. Alysson drops into the cover, forcing Eternity to enter the ring...1...2...Eternity drags Alysson off Ayla by the leg, before returning to her corner.}

Vasco Dias: Wow, did you ever think Eternity would be saving the match?

Terri Morasco: I think you need to give Eternity a bit more credit, I think she understands what this match means.

Vasco Dias: What's the matter Trent, you're unusually quiet?

Trent Helms: Well excuse me Dias for not really being into a match which features the two women who took out Ryleigh Knite.

Terri Morasco: I didn't realise you two were that close...

Trent Helms: There's a lot you don't realise, primate...

{Alysson is shocked that Eternity cared enough to save the match for her team. As Alysson glares at Eternity, yelling at her in a clear display of her volatile temperament, Ayla recovers and takes her opening and spins Gardner around into an X-Factor. Ayla drops down for the cover...1...2...Alysson kicks out. Alysson is stunned at Ayla as she gets to her feet. Ayla backs off as Alysson advances upon her asking her what the hell she was doing. Ayla answers with a slap to Alysson's face and reminding her of the rules of the match. }

Ayla St James: I have to fight you, so that's what I'm doing!

{Alysson then tackles Ayla to the floor and delivers stiff shots to the side of her head before the two headstrong women roll under the bottom rope and tumble out of the ring onto the floor right in front of the announce position. Alysson still has her advantage as she drags the bubbly blonde to her feet and bounces Ayla's head off the announce table. The referee is leaning over the ropes warning Alysson to bring it back into the ring and Eternity is clapping on the apron, clearly enjoying herself whilst making no effort to get involved herself. Alysson looks over her shoulder at the referee, then over at Eternity. Alysson shakes her head as she slowly pulls Ayla back to her feet and rolls her under the bottom rope back into the ring.}

Vasco Dias: Look at Eternity, I've never seen her quite so happy before...

Terri Morasco: I bet she's not the only one, Katherine Lockheart has got to be loving what she sees here...

Trent Helms: It's about time these women realise there's something more important than their friendship to worry about here.

{Alysson slides into the ring after Ayla and jumps to her feet and bends over a fallen Ayla pointing over at Eternity in the corner.}

Alysson Gardner: Tag her in, Ayla! Get up! Tag her in!

{Alysson throws her head back and walks over to a corner, leaning back and letting Ayla recover. Ayla slowly gets to her feet and looks at Alysson who simply waves her over to her corner. Ayla looks over at Eternity and slowly starts to move toward her corner, she gets there and then snaps her head back toward Alysson, apparently having decided she wasn't going to follow orders and then Ayla charges at Alysson in the corner. Alysson decides to counter with her Crimson Spear cutting Ayla off as she is about half-way across the ring. Alysson seems to have realised what she has just done and looks remorseful.}

Terri Morasco: Alysson just speared Ayla out of her boots!

Vasco Dias: I'm not sure if it was out of genuine intent or just instinct...

Trent Helms: Either way, Alysson should capitalise here...

{Alysson reluctantly walks over to a turnbuckle and starts to ascend, Gardner then showboats for the crowd and then attempts her G-Effect on Ayla who rolls out of the way causing Alysson to crash and burn, Ayla then springs to her feet and waits for Alysson to find her feet and as she does so, stumbling and a little groggy, Ayla grabs her by the arm twirling her around and nailing Big Red with a Ratings Spike. Ayla rolls Alysson over, wishing to finish the match without hitting a finisher....the lights in the arena start to flicker...1......2...they go out..when they come back, the referee is revealed to have called the three count officially in spite of the fact that it isn't Ayla in the cover position, but rather Eternity....}

Vasco Dias: Eternity wasn't even legal!

Terri Morasco: I don't think the referee was aware what happened, the count had been made in the dark.

Trent Helms: Alysson can't be happy about this, and neither is Ayla.

{Both women have found their feet after the referee's call and start to circle Eternity with smiles on their faces knowing the match is over and the rules they were bound by no longer apply, ready to take out another member of the Heiress to the Throne field.}

Vasco Dias: Oh no, this could be very bad for young Eternity here.

Terri Morasco: Remember what they did to Ryleigh Knite last week. They're systematically taking out the field of opponents!

{With Eternity cornered, things look very bad for her until "Die Young" hits and Jessica Reed and Tifa Heafy to run down the ramp to cause a distraction and make the save. The distraction has allowed Eternity to move out of the corner and she summons smoke to start filling the ring, causing Ayla and Alysson to get out and dodge. With their retreat up the ramp blocked by Reed and Heafy , the two friends hop the guard rail and make their escape. Eternity meanwhile has managed her own disappearing act, without a word of thanks to her saviours.}

MATCH
HEIRESS TO THE THRONE
SINGLES MATCH
Jessica Reed vs Tifa Heafy

----------------------------------------------------------

{ "Die Young" by Ke$ha begins to play as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtains, waving at the crowd, apparently dressed this week as Harley Quinn. Jess has a big firework cannon which she shoots black and red fireworks from before tossing it to one side and skipping down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans as she excitedly hops on the ring apron before climbing into the ring where she proceeds to climb the turnbuckles, waving to the fans as she awaits her opponent for the match. }

Trent Helms: “Here we go ladies and gentlemen, The Bubbly Cos-play princess, and one of my personal favorite diamonds, Jessica Reed, looking as good as ever.”

Vasco Dias: “For once Helms, I’m going to agree with you. Stop the presses. But lord have mercy.”

Terri Morasco: “You say that now, but Tifa has all the momentum going into this match, and is looking to prove to the world she isn’t a fluke.”

Alision Valance: “Hailing from Chicago Illinois, at a hundred and twenty-two pounds, standing at five feet, six inches. TIFAAAA HEEEAAAFEEEEYYY!”

{People get on their feet when they hear the beginning of "Dammit" by Blink-182 starts to blare through the P.A. system. From the back running comes Tifa Heafy with a giant smile on her face. The crowd cheers for the rookie as she begins to walk to the ring slapping all the hands that are in front of her. When at ringside Tifa sprints into the ring and pops up to her feet before going to the turnbuckles to pose for the fans. Flashbulbs go off as Tifa hops down and waves to the fan, the music fading off.}


Terri Morasco: “Two fan favorites.”

Trent Helms: “Listen to this packed house of virgins…”

Vasco Dias: “Think it’s smart insulting our fan base?”

{The two ladies square off, bouncing around the ring smiles on their face ready for competition, the ref calls for the bell as Jessica charges forward but Tifa side steps and kicks Jessica hard in the back sending Reed forward into the ring post, hitting chest first she stumbles out. Tifa stays on the offense, rebounding off the ring ropes hitting a bull dog, sending Jessica Reed face first into the mat.}

Terri Morasco: “Tifa is starting off on fire. Seems her momentum hasn’t shifted since the Pay Per View!”

Trent Helms: “little spitfire, from the Kane school of Hard Knocks and Cheap Co-“

Vasco Dias: “…Easy…”

{Tifa exits to the apron, grapping onto the top rope, looking for a springboard leg drop, but Jessica rolls out of the way, as Tifa bounces butt first off the mat, clutching her lower back in pain. Jessica is back to her feet, sending a hard kick to Tifa’s side, before hitting charging knee right into the collarbone of Heafey, knocking the wind out of her opponent, Jessica goes for a quick cover}

1…

{Tifa kicks out at one, regaining her composure quickly, as Jessica returns to her feet}

Vasco Dias: “First cover attempt by Jessica, surprising since the way Tifa came out swinging…er kicking.”

Terri Morasco: “Tried to catch Heafey off guard, that knee could have done it…”

Trent Helms: “it’s gonna take more to take Tifa down than a hard knee.”

{Jessica isn’t letting up, grabbing Tifa by the hair getting the lady to her feet, she sends a hard chop, forcing Tifa into the corner sending a should thrust into the midsection, Jessica steps back, showboating a bit with a cartwheel, but as soon as she lands on her feet, Tifa has charges out of the corner nearly decapitating Jessica with a vicious clothesline.}

Trent Helms: “Sweet mercy. The lovable and sweet Tifa almost swung an execution’s axe right there..”

Terri Morasco: “She isn’t just a pretty face Trent, she’s a superstar of IWF.”

{Tifa immediately turns her attention to the top rope, ascending quickly as Jessica is clutching her own neck, in pain on the mat. She leaps into the air, looking to hit a double foot stomp from the top, but Jessica throws her leg up hitting Tifa right underneath the jaw sending her stumbling backwards clutching her face.}

Terri Morasco: “Tifa cannot keep an advantage, Jessica is ready at every turn to counter any huge momentum shifts.”

Trent Helms: “But don’t count Tifa out just yet, it’s a setback, hopefully she didn’t knock any teeth out of that purdy mouth.”

Vasco Dias: “This just took a wrong turn into deliverance country…”

{Jessica picks herself up once again, eyeing Tifa a little worried she may of seriously injured her opponent. But Tifa shakes off the pain, meeting Jessica in the middle with a forearm smash, Jessica manages to duck, sending a hard jab into Tifa’s stomach, pushing her into the ropes, Tifa rebounds as Jessica leaps in the air overtop of her opponent, Tifa runs through as she slides between Jessica’s legs grabbing her by the ankles causing Jessica to fall to her knees. Tifa quickly gets up, sending a kick towards the side of Jessica’s head, who just manages to duck in the nick of time. Jessica kips up to her feet, finding her second wind. Tifa leaps into the air, looking to stop any momentum shifts, with a Hurricanrana, but Jessica follows throw with a sunset flip, into a pin.}

1…

2…

{Tifa kicks out!}

Trent Helms: “Sweet mercy. These ladies got some style! Tifa counters Jessica Counters the original counter to a counter pin. I Love it!”

Terri Morasco: “This is the athleticism the Diamonds division is founded on!”

Vasco Dias: “Let’s see which one of these ladies can keep it up.”

Trent Helms: “They’re both doing a good job of keeping me up.”

{Jessica shakes off the fusteration and keeps the offensive up, picking herself up slapping the mat, the fans are on their feet. Tifa, still holding her jaw, gets to her feet as well. The two women look at each other, before they lock up in the center of the ring. Tifa immediately gets the advantage, getting Jessica in a headlock. Jessica attempts to break the hold, but Tifa is locked in too tight. Attempting to use the ring to advantage, Jessica pushes herself and Tifa forward turns the corner, but Tifa is ready using her feet she walks up it, Jessica pushes her into the air, Tifa manages to contort her body, turning around catching Jessica once more, but with a huge Tornado DDT}

Terri Morasco: “YOU SEE THAT YOU SEXIST PIGS! THAT’S REAL WRESTLING!”

Trent Helms: “Oh my god Terri, calm the hell down.”

{Tifa pops back to her feet, holding her arms up, not smiling as her jaw is still hurting. She takes her place in the corner, as Jessica stirs to her feet, holding her head as the Tornado DDT did a little more damage than originally thought. As soon as Jessica staggers back to her feet, Tifa charges forward looking to nail her Running Yazuka Kick, but Jessica side steps, and while Tifa is off balance, picks her up into her ROFLCopter, sending Tifa flying towards the mat face first. Jessica has managed to make herself dizzy in the process of spinning her opponent, but manages to stumble on top of Heafey for the pin}

1…2…3..

Alision Valance: “Your winner….JESSICA REEEEED!”

Terri Morasco: “A fantastic showing by these two wonderful Diamond’s, it’s a shame one had to lose, both had a great performance tonight.”

Trent Helms: “I wonder if I can help anyone out with any bruises, or injuries…play a little doctor…”

Vasco Dias: “And to avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit, here is a commercial break…”

MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
Spike Kane vs Mike Laszlo

----------------------------------------------------------

Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with NO time limit. Introducing first…

{"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a mixed reaction from the crowd due to some recent comments. Surveying those who cheer as well as those who boo, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis by his side.}

Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!

{Mike slides into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another mixed reaction, as Alexis ascends the stairs and enters the ring. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists waiting for the start of the match.}

Terri Morasco: What a match we have in store for you fans coming up.

Vasco Dias: That we do. The young lion wants the old one’s spot atop the mountain and we’re about to see some of the most talented in ring skills ever seen.

Trent Helms: What the hell? You have a bleach blonde Hollywood type against a man who hits people with a Spike.

Vasco Dias: That same bleach blonde made you tap out.

Trent Helms: One more word about that and you will die.

Alison Valance: And his opponent…

{The lights go out completely before a huge pyro goes off and the lights flash wildly in time with the bass riff and the drums to Killswitch Engage’s “In Due Time” the screen flickers to life with images of Spike nailing countless people with the Spike Impailer and the Thunderstruck across the world. Just as the clean vocals come in with the “All in due time, see the world through different eyes. All in due time, the shadows will give way to light” the lights come up and we see Spike Kane standing on the apron with his arms outstretched and fists balled, smirk spread across his face. The God of Xtreme proceeds to make his way to the ring, at his own pace....in due time, of course. The smirk never leaving his face.}

Alison Valance: From Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is one half of the IWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…The “God of Xtreme”…SPIKE KAAAANE!

Trent Helms: These two have been going back and forth on Twitter since before this place opened.

Terri Morasco: That they have, and it finally culminates tonight on Sacrifice.

Vasco Dias: I hate that damn Twitter crap.

{The bell rings and the two competitors begin to circle the ring, sizing up one another as their one on one encounters have been sparse. The circling turns into trash talk as the two have been doing for months on end on Twitter, eventually winding up with the two men in each other’s face, nose to nose. Spike is first to strike with a lunge forward and a simple Headbutt that surprises Laszlo and sends him to the mat.}

Trent Helms: Well if that’s not a smack in the face.

Vasco Dias: Pure brutality from one half of the Tag Team Champions.

Terri Morasco: That’s sending a message from the get go.

{Laszlo gets up and the two go nose to nose again. Spike grins at his first strike, but Laszlo grins back and the smirk is soon wiped off Spike’s face as Laszlo slaps it right off spinning Spike, causing him to turn his back to the confrontation.}

Trent Helms: Okay, fine, that was a smack in the face.

Vasco Dias: Showing no respect for those who have paved the way.

Terri Morasco: Message received, return to sender.

{Spike rubs the side of his cheek before spinning and making a mad dash for Laszlo, taking him to the ground before unloading on the young upstart with rights and lefts. Mike does his best to cover up, but a few shots do take their toll. Eventually Laszlo rolls the mount over and begins unloading himself. The trend continues as the two roll the mount and continue taking shots until the action spills under the bottom rope and outside the ring where the two separate, but charge each other with the same idea and hit a simultaneous Clothesline on the outside.}

Trent Helms: Jousting? That’s almost as old as Vasco here…almost.

Vasco Dias: Please…spot monkey.

Terri Morasco: They took each other’s head off with those clotheslines.

{The referee has started his count and is already up to four as both men begin to stir from the stiff shot. Each has gotten around a different corner of the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope before the referee can complete his count. Getting to their feet the two men turn toward each other and lock up in the center of the ring. Spike hits a shot to the gut and goes behind Mike, locking him around the waist for a German Suplex. Much like he did at the Pay Per View though, Mike lands on his feet in an act of nimbleness and grabs Spike from behind in a waist-lock, looking for a German Suplex of his own, but on the run up pushes Spike into the ropes where he grabs hold, preventing the maneuver. As Laszlo pulls back he falls back to the mat alone and rolls backward. Spike charges and looks to hit the BLOODY SUNDAY kick but Laszlo ducks it and as Spike turns, goes for a Superkick, but Spike ducks it and rolls out of the ring as the two stare one another down at the applause of the crowd.}

Terri Morasco: Great exchange there. Neither man could get the upper hand.

Vasco Dias: Classic WRESTLING at its best.

Trent Helms: These two are talented. I’ve been in the ring with both and can attest to that.

{Spike slowly walks up the steps and slowly enters the ring where the two lock up again. This time it is Mike who causes the break when he stomps down on Spike’s foot as hard as possible. He then hits him with a stiff European Uppercut that stands the Spiked One up straight and stumbling back into the corner. Laszlo sees his opportunity and runs in for a splash. With Laszlo in the air, Spike moves and Laszlo crashes down into the turnbuckle. Spike now behind Laszlo leaps into the air and Dropkicks the upstart into the corner, again, chest first. Laszlo stumbles back out of the corner and now Spike hits him with a German Suplex with a bridge for the first pin attempt of the match…

1!

2!

{Laszlo breaks Spike’s grip and rolls through, stacking Spike up for a pin attempt of his own…}

1!

2!

{Spike kicks out!}

Vasco Dias: This is why the IWF is the premier organization in wrestling right here.

Terri Morasco: These two men both possess great skill and it’s a pleasure to call this match.

Trent Helms: It would obviously be better if I were in it.

Vasco Dias: So you can tap out to Laszlo again?

Trent Helms: SHUT UP!

{The two get back to their feet and Spike charges for a Clothesline but Laszlo ducks and goes to return the German Suplex but Spike hits two consecutive elbows. He goes for a third but Laszlo ducks. Spike spins and is then elevated into the air with a Back Body Drop! Spike hits the mat hard and before he has a chance to return to his feet, or turn around, Laszlo locks in a Dragon Sleeper on one half of the Tag Team Champions. Spike starts to squirm as Laszlo wrenches back on the hold even more.}

Vasco Dias: DRAGON SLEEPER!

Terri Morasco: A legal submission hold, will Spike tap?

Trent Helms: He is close to the ropes.

{Spike, being a ring veteran, knows that his feet aren’t far from the ropes and starts outstretching his legs in an attempt to break the hold. After a few attempts, he is able to do so. The referee counts to four before Laszlo releases the hold.}

Terri Morasco: Little bit of a mean streak to Laszlo there.

Trent Helms: It’s going to take more than that to beat Spike.

Vasco Dias: Take full advantage. The referee has til the count of five, use the whole damn thing.

{Laszlo is backed off by the referee who turns and asks Spike if he wants to give up. Spike though, says hell no and can visibly be seen shaking his head as he motions the referee out of the way. Spike starts to get up using the ropes when Laszlo comes in looking to attack. He hits a few punches to the face of Spike before sending him to the opposite set of ropes. Laszlo goes for a Clothesline but Spike ducks. As he rebounds, Laszlo turns and is hit with a SPEAR!}

Terri Morasco: Vicious Spear by Spike Kane.

Vasco Dias: Like getting hit by a runaway freight truck.

Trent Helms: Nowhere near as devastating as a Trent Helms Spear, but it was pretty good.

{Spike lays next to Laszlo for a minute, seemingly thinking of exactly what he wants to do to him, then goes for it locking in his version of the Anaconda Vice, known as “All Hope Is Lost”. Laszlo starts to squirm in the hold, trying every which way possible to break it.}

Vasco Dias: Spike has the “All Hope Is Lost” submission locked in. Looks like this one is over.

Trent Helms: He’s beaten many a man with that hold.

Terri Morasco: Looks like Laszlo is about to tap…WAIT!


{Laszlo’s squirming begins to fade as the referee starts to check his hand. It drops to the mat once, and then a second time as well. The referee picks the arm up a third time, if it drops, the match is over. He lets go and Laszlo not only keeps the arm up but manages to roll Spike over into a pinning combination…}

1!

2!

NO!

{Spike rolls over, but it’s not for long as the momentum rolls Laszlo over Spike, but they roll again and Spike is on top with the hold locked in again, but this time they are close to the ropes and Laszlo gets his foot on the bottom rope!}

Vasco Dias: What ring presence by these two.

Terri Morasco: Both men have gotten out of a submission hold.

Trent Helms: He should have tapped out and lived to fight another day.

Vasco Dias: Definitely the Trent Helms way of thinking.

Trent Helms: I hate you. I really do.

{Spike breaks the hold after a count of four. As he gets up he goes to pick Mike up off the mat. Laszlo swats Spike’s hands away and grabs him by the waist, throwing him over his head with a Belly to Belly Suplex!}

Vasco Dias: Out of nowhere.

Terri Morasco: Listen to the crowd as these two men are putting it all on the line here.

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!! **CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP**

{Both men are down after the Suplex. Laszlo is first to his feet with the help of the ropes. Spike is soon to follow though he is worse for ware and turns right into a Scoop Slam from Laszlo in the center of the ring. Laszlo heads to the corner and climbs to the top rope. He raises his arms in the air, but Spike gets up off the mat to Laszlo’s surprise. Thinking quickly, Laszlo jumps off looking for an Axe Handle… BLOODY SUNDAY KICK!!!}

Vasco Dias: His head went into the third row!

Terri Morasco: That’s all she wrote. What a devastating kick there.

Trent Helms: That was brutal. Almost as painful as Vasco’s commentary.

{Both men are down as Spike crawls to the cover, hooking the leg, match seemingly well in hand…

1!

2!

{Thr…NO!!! Somehow, Laszlo used the last of his energy to shoot his shoulder off the mat. Spike looks on in disbelief as the referee shows him two fingers.}

Vasco Dias: Resiliency by Laszlo. I thought he was done.

Terri Morasco: No man should have been able to get up from that kick.

Trent Helms: I wouldn’t have just got up. I would have kipped up.

Vasco Dias: Oh please.

Trent Helms: Humanoid…I will put you through our table.

{Spike goes to mount Laszlo to inflict more damage but Laszlo springs to life and locks in a Triangle Choke! Spike fights hard, literally lunging his legs back to the ropes, but it seems he is just too far away to reach them. Soon, he, like Laszlo earlier begins to fade while locked in the hold. The referee checks his arm as he did Laszlo and he also gets to two, but then Spike springs to life and leaps over, bridging for a pin attempt…

1!

2!!

NO, Laszlo breaks the holds and drops Spike into a seated Pin…

1!

2!!

NO!

The two men are back to their feet and Laszlo is swift with a kick to the gut followed by Underhooking Spike’s arms. He doesn’t yell his usual “O-H” and lifts Spike into the air hitting him with a Double Underhook Backbreaker!}

Terri Morasco: These two are leaving it all out there for these fans.

Vasco Dias: It’s what competitors do.

Trent Helms: It has been a good match.

{A look of rage comes over Laszlo as he stalks his opponent. Spike is slow to his feet and is kicked in the gut before Laszlo lifts him onto his shoulders, swinging him down for Malicious Intent…NO! Spike blocks the knee, swings Laszlo around…THUNDERSTRUCK! The crowd goes insane at the counter when Criminal Intent come running down to the ring.}

Terri Morasco: What the hell is this?

Vasco Dias: Don’t ruin this match.

Trent Helms: They’re here to send a message too.

{The two Australians slide into the ring as Spike goes for the cover. They pull him away and begin to stomp away at the God of Xtreme causing the referee to ring the bell.}

Alison Valance: Your winner by Disqualification, Spike Kane!

Terri Morasco: Oh come on!

Vasco Dias: What a horrible way to end this great match.

Trent Helms: They don’t care. They’re sending a message to InFamous.

{Criminal Intent continues the assault. Cyrus pushes Spike into Kingsley who hits the “Jury’s Out” (Backstabber) as Laszlo gets out of the ring. Criminal Intent stand over Spike with the Tag Titles as their music plays.}

Trent Helms: Where the hell was Rob during all this!?

{Backstage we see Rob Diamond and Alex Jones in the middle of a fist fight.}

Rob Diamond: MOVE ASSHOLE!!!

Alex Jones: MAKE ME! SPIKE IS GETTING WHAT HE DESERVES!!

{ The two men continue to beat on each other until Criminal Intent make it backstage and begin a three man assault on Rob Diamond. Jones eventually backs off with a grin as Criminal Intent continue to rip into Rob Diamond. }

Alex Jones: Sorry brother, just a casualty of war.

Terri Morasco: What the hell is this!?

Vasco Dias: Why is Alex attacking Diamond? Has he snapped?

Trent Helms: I think he may finally have gone insane.

Terri Morasco: Something tells me this isn't the end of this

{ Alex mutters as he backs away. Criminal Intent take a look at their handy work before security finally makes it onto the scene as the copyright logo appears and we go off the air. }
