HARDCORE MATCH
Death vs Titan

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

{Five finger death punch's lift me up comes over the PA system, Titan steps out through some smoke and stands looking down inhaling it, the smoke machine stops and Titan breathes the smoke through his nostrils before screaming "time to destroy". He stomps his way down to the ring before leaping onto the ring apron, he gets into the ring and slams both hands on his chest before throwing them out to the side.}

Alison Valance: The following contest is a Hardcore Match! Introducing first, from Yonkers, New York! Weighing in at 260 lbs. – TITAN!!!

Vasco Dias: Newcomer Titan was not able to pick up the victory last week in tag team action, but he looks for a little bit of redemption this week!

Terri Morasco: He is going to have his hands full though, because-

{We’re Not In Kansas Anymore plays through the speakers, much to the displeasure of the crowd. Coming through the crowd is The Apocalypse, led by Jebediah Crowe. The five of them hop over the fence, with Death sliding underneath the bottom rope into the ring. Jebediah takes a chair that was near the announcer’s table and sets it up in his respective corner. The other members of The Apocalypse stand around him, ready to interfere at any time.}

Alison Valance: His opponent, weighing in at 310 lbs. – DEATH!

Vasco Dias: This man right here is a physical specimen.

Terri Morasco: And with this being a Hardcore Match, expect this to turn into a four on one in favor of The Apocalypse at some point in this match.

{Fury, Plague, and War walk around the ring, looking underneath it for the weapons that are held underneath it. Several chairs, trash cans, and Singapore canes are tossed into it, instantly flooding it with weapons for both men to use in the match. Jebediah Crowe stays seated, calling his men back over to the corner, wanting Death to take down Titan without the others interfering.}

Vasco Dias: Are they going to even need to interfere in this match tonight? Titan is going to have his hands full all night.

{The referee calls for the bell, starting the match. Titan wisely grabs a steel chair, taunting Death to try and come after him. Death slowly turns his head to the side, slowly approaching Titan. Titan takes the chair and jams it into the gut of Death. The chair is cocked behind Titan’s head and then set hard into the back of Death. Death shoots straight up, looking Titan, angered by the chair shot. Death throws a haymaker at the chair, sending it crashing into the face of Titan, knocking him to the ground!}

Vasco Dias: Death just took a chair shot square in the back, and the monster does not look to be fazed by it at all!

Terri Morasco: Is there anybody that can slow this man down!?!

Vasco Dias: I am starting to wonder if you can even call him a man…

{Titan, slightly dazed, pulls himself back up to his feet. He turns around to face Death, who grabs Titan by the neck and tosses him across the ring! Jebediah Crowe claps his hands, applauding his weapon of mass destruction for taking quick control of the match. Death, stalking his prey, walks towards Titan, but is met with a Singapore cane to the leg by Titan! Titan continues to stay with an offensive mindset, striking Death repeatedly in the head with the cane till the big man falls to the ground!}

Vasco Dias: Titan has knocked Death to the ground! He needs to keep him off his feet for as long as he can!

{Titan continues to smack Death with the cane until the cane is practically broken in half, rendering it useless. That is, until Titan mounts Death and begins to choke him the half that is in his hands! Death slowly pulls the cane away from his neck, but Titan abandons it and begins to throw fists to the skull of Death. Plague begins to walk up the stairs to interfere, but Crowe stops him, wanting Death to get out of the mess himself.}

Vasco Dias: Strangely, Jebediah Crowe is not allowing his men to interfere in this match!

Terri Morasco: It has to be only a matter of time, Vasco. Crowe refuses to be defeated and he will do whatever it takes to win.

{Titan hops off of Death, taunting to the crowd, who cheers him in response. He looks for more weapons of choice, grabbing a metal trash can. He holds it over his head, the crowd cheering, wanting to see him use it. Titan turns around to see the weapon used against him, as Death drops him with a Big Boot! The trash can is dented in the middle, squished in between the foot of Death and the skull of Titan. Death looks to win the match after the Big Boot!}

One!

Two!

Vasco Dias: Titan kicks out! Death is going to have to do a lot more damage than that if he wants to win this match!

Terri Morasco: Let’s not wish that for anyone…

{Death grabs the locks of Titan, yanking him by it back to his feet. He tucks Titan’s head into his armpit, throws his arm over his head, and lifts him up into the air. Holding Titan up there, Death drops the hand that was holding onto the tights of Titan, showing off his incredible strength by holding the man up in the air. After several seconds in the air, Death falls backwards for a Suplex!}

Vasco Dias: The blood rushing to Titan’s head, then to be dropped hard to the mat by Death! This could get ugly really quick!

{Death hops up to his feet, inspecting the ring for a weapon. He decides on a steel chair, holding it up for the crowd to see. The crowd boo him, but it does not faze him. He has puts a second hand on the chair, turning around to see a standing Titan. However, Titan is standing for long, as he is cracked over the head with the steel chair! Titan crumbles to the ground, the chair left with a dent into it. Death tosses the chair off, covering the now bleeding Titan!}

One!

Two!

Th-!

{NO! Titan is able to throw his shoulder off the mat to break up the count. Death rests on his knees, contemplating his next move. He gets to his feet, walking over to his corner. He gestures for something, although it is unknown what the monster wants. Plague and Fury seem to know, however, as they go under the ring and grab not one, but two tables!}

Terri Morasco: Oh no…we have seen what Death has done with a table in the past! We have not seen Cactus Jeff since he was thrown through one at Survival of the Fittest!

Vasco Dias: This might be the last time we see Titan as well…

{The two tables are slid into the ring, with Death wasting no time in setting up the first one in the corner, leaning it up against the turnbuckle. Death makes sure it is placed just how he wants it to be, before turning around to see a charging Titan, who nails Death through the table with a First Down!!! The crowd starts chanting “Holy shit!” as Crowe hops up from his seat, beginning to worry if Titan might win this match.}

Vasco Dias: THROUGH THE TABLE! Titan has Death right where he wants him! Pin him, Titan! Now is the chance!

{Titan does just that, rolling Death over and hooking the leg! The count!}

One!

Two!

Thre-!

{NO! Death is able to kick out and Titan can’t believe it. What does he have to do to finish Death? He holds three fingers up at the referee, who only holds two fingers back. Titan is shocked that he was not able to finish the match there, but knows that he can’t stop there. He has to put Death out for good to win the match, so he begins to set up the other table, placing it in the middle of the ring. When he turns around, he finds Jebediah Crowe, with the cat o’ nine tails whip in his hand. The crowd jeers at the sight of Crowe in the ring, with Titan and Crowe in a deep stare down.}

Teri Morasco: I knew it was only a matter of time! Crowe is caught red-handed, though! He was about to strike Titan with that whip!

{Titan points to the whip, asking Crowe what he planned on doing with it. Crowe chuckles, shaking his head. “You have no idea” he responds. He takes a couple steps towards Titan, before taking the whip and smacking himself in the head with it! He screams, in both pain and sheer craziness. Blood instantly runs down Crowe’s face, dying his grey hair crimson. Both Titan and the crowd look shocked at what Crowe has just done.}

Vasco Dias: Crowe just hit himself in the head with that whip! This man is an absolute lunatic!

{This proves to be the ultimate distraction, as Titan is caught off guard from behind by the other three members of The Apocalypse! Fury and Plague stomp a mudhole into Titan, not allowing him to get back to his feet, as Crowe smiles, before leaving the ring. War sits back, directing traffic, as Death rolls out of the ring to gather himself.}

Terri Morasco: Damn it! With this being a Hardcore Match, there is no one to stop these men! Damn them to hell!

{Fury and Plague each grab a hold of separate arms of Titan, holding him up for War. The crimson mask has taken over the face of Titan, who is too tired to break free from the two men’s hold. War crouches in front of Titan, rubbing his hand down the side of Titan’s face. He looks at his hand, smeared with Titan’s blood, before taking it and smacking Titan hard enough for Titan’s head to jerk!}

Vasco Dias: This is just disgusting! Someone needs to stop this!

{War orders for Fury to go to the top rope and finish Titan off, which Fury obliges to. Fury walks past Titan’s body, spitting on it, much to the chagrin of the crowd. Fury hops up to the top rope, bobbing his head side to side, talking trash to the downed Titan, before taking flight for Hell’s Fury! Titan uses a spurt of energy to roll out of the way, and there is no one home for Fury, who rolls around the ring in agony from the high bump!}

Vasco Dias: Titan dodged it! High risk fails for Fury and he is paying for it!

{Titan slowly tries to get to his feet, but is put into a Sleeper Hold by Plague! Plague wraps his leg around Titan’s waist, trying to force the former football player to pass out. However, he is the next to face Titan’s wrath, as Titan grabs a hold of Plague’s neck and drops him with a Backpack Stunner!}

Vasco Dias: Jaw Sack! Jaw Sack! Titan is taking on The Apocalypse alone and he is taking them out alone!

Terri Morasco: Come on, Titan! You can do it!

{Titan gets up to his feet, looking at War, both men in a stalemate. Fury charges after Titan, but is launched into the air and caught for a Third Down! Fury rolls out of the ring, Titan successfully clearing the ring of Plague and Fury. War looks back at Titan, and instead of fighting him, falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring himself. The crowd boos heavily at War, disappointed in his refusal to fight Titan, who begins to yell profanities at War for leaving the ring.}

Vasco Dias: Cowardly move by War! Wait…look out!

{Titan turns around to nearly be split in half by a Spear from Death, his actual opponent! Death stands up, ripping his wife beater apart in anger. He poses as if he was being crucified, signaling that he is going to finish the match.}

Vasco Dias: Damn it, no! This can end like this!

Terri Morasco: Come on, Titan! One more push!

{Death grabs Titan by his hair, pulling him between his legs. He lifts Titan up into a Crucifix Powerbomb position. He takes a few steps and then tosses Titan into the air, sending him crashing through the table Titan previously had set up! The crowd boos, as Death falls on top of the lifeless body of Titan.}

One!

Two!

THREE!

Vasco Dias: Death wins this bloody contest, thanks to his damned teammates!

Terri Morasco: That madman Jebediah Crowe has assembled an army…and I am not sure if there is anyone that can stop them.

Alison Valance: Here is your winner – Death!

{War, Fury, and Plague slide into the ring, with Crowe right behind them. Death gets to his feet, as the five men celebrate the hard earned victory. Crowe climbs to the top rope, holding his hands up high in the air, a big smile across his sinister face. The Apocalypse stands behind him, posing as if they were crucified.}

SEGMENT
"Wrath"

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

{The cameras come on in the backstage area. They show John “Wrath” Ojeda sitting on one of the production crates, lacing up his boots. He’s sitting in a pair of blue jeans and the trademark vest of the motorcycle club that he rides for. John pays no mind to the cameras for a long beat as he goes about lacing his boots up. It’s clear as he laces his boots, that his fists are taped and the words “PUNISH” and “KILL” are written on the left and right respectively. Wrath looks up}

John “Wrath” Ojeda: You people don’t know me, but that’s fine by me. I’ve never had a problem stalking in the shadows. Quite frankly, it makes it easier to take what I want, lurking in the shadows. But that ends tonight. The IWF universe is damn sure going to know who I am after tonight. The whole wrestling world is going to be talking about the fact that Wrath is at it again. There’s going to be a big buzz after tonight when I walk out to that ring with my right hand cocked and I put down an old dog like he’s old yeller. There’s going to be a lot of talk, because I have an example to make. Because if there is one thing I fucking hate in this business… it’s when someone is a joke artist.

{Wrath forcefully finishes tying his boots; smashing his hand into his palm for good effect as he hops off the production crate. His icy blue eyes stare at the camera with an intensity}

John “Wrath” Ojeda: I hate when someone doesn’t take this shit seriously, because this is the thing I love doing the most. When I started in this business, I didn’t set out to be a joke, I’ve set out to be the meanest, nastiest, most violent son of a bitch that has ever stepped in the ring. And the trail of mangled bodies that lead me to this place, and this point in my career is proof enough that I’m quite capable of destroying anything in my path. In just eight short years, I’ve amassed a body count that is hard to comprehend. I’ve amassed gold, paper, and status at an alarming rate. And now it’s time to start crossing names off the list in the Imperial Wrestling Federation. So when someone like Jostrodomus takes this business as a joke, I get more than a little upset. I get down right enraged. This shit isn’t a joke. This shit isn’t something we sit back and shoot the shit about. This isn’t a nice business. This is a cutthroat business, and only the toughest fucking giant in the valley gets to survive.

[Wrath smiles wickedly, taking a step closer to the camera}

John “Wrath” Ojeda: Once upon a time, that wasn’t you. Once upon a time, you were about as valuable as the nut stain down the crack of your momma’s ass that made you. Once upon a time you may have been relevant, but that’s how fucking fairy tales start. And this ain’t a fucking fairy tale. This ain’t joke time, or time for your senile ass to line up for your meds. This is where the rubber meets the road. It ain’t about who can make the audience laugh, it ain’t about who’s been around the block more times. It’s about who beats the ever living shit out of who. You damn sure ain’t pulling that shit off in your sad state of disrepair. Think your experience saves you, think you’ve beaten men like me along the way. But you’ve made the sad mistake of thinking I’m the run of the mill person. You made the sad mistake of thinking I’m going to hide behind my club. If you didn’t notice shithead, there aren’t any of them here. No, bitch tits, I don’t hide from anyone or anything. I didn’t hide from the Haqqani Network in Afghanistan, I didn’t run from fucking RPGs, IEDs, and Assault Rifle fire when I was in a desert hell hole… and I’m damn sure not going to tuck tail and run from some Robin Ramdetski wanna-be. So you try your little Ram Jam bullshit and find your fucking glory days old man, cuz the end result will be the same for you as it was Randy The Ram. You’re just going to die in the fucking ring. And I’ll be quite pleased with it, because it just means I did what I do best. I PUNISH! KILL! REPEAT!

{Wrath snarls and puts his hands over the camera, shoving the camera man back onto his ass, screaming in a deep, visceral growl as he storms off and the cameras struggle to keep him in focus}

John “Wrath” Ojeda: Get the fuck out of my way, it’s time to kill shit!

{The camera fades out and back to the announce team}

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

SINGLES MATCH
John "Wrath" Ojeda vs Michael "Jostrodomus" Vicent

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

{The lights in the arena dim down at the opening violin strains of "Slum Chemist" by Vinnie Paz starts and the sample from Monster starts to play

I know how people fucking think out there, and fuck, it's gotta be that way. They've gotta tell you that 'Thou shall not kill' shit and all of that. But that's not the way the world works, Selby. Cuz I'm out there every fucking day living it. Who the fuck knows what God wants?

We can be as different as we wanna be, but you can't kill people!

SAYS WHO?

Wrath rips out from behind the curtain with an angry look on his face. He marches down towards the ring, talking trash at the fans as the boo and say nasty things to him. He stops to get in one fans face in particular and starts to run his mouth

HAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
The God Of The Serengeti
The lion king
Vinnie Paz

I like that y'all consider me the bad guy
Big guns everywhere, bullets g'wan pass by
My blood’s g-code, never seen my dad cry
And I'ma bleed your block till the cash dry
You live in fucking Babylon and ask why
Your arms to short to box God, that's why
So watch a big mouth turn into a cracked eye
Watch a big house turned into a smashed sty
Send them to the Devil, let his ass fry
Heavy metal on another level, that's high
I Self Lord and Master from past tribe
I let my young boy trash you from bad vibes
Reincarnated rat from a past life
I drink a 40 of idiot then I grab Syze
For every hundred burners copped, Vinnie stash five
You asking for forgiveness? You should ask God

Wrath gets to the bottom of the ramp and stops, staring up at the ring for a long moment. He methodically starts to walk around it

It's Vinnie P, I'm the biggest dog in the yard
It's Vinnie P, ain't no one could fuck with the god
It's Vinnie P, you should never fuck with the monster
It's Vinnie P, you crash like la-la-la-bamba

Wrath walks up the ring stairs, and stands on the apron, climbing up onto the turnbuckle from the outside, flipping off people in the crowd.

This is 45-caliber flow
Pound my chest like a gorilla so all the other savages know
I'm ravenous though, Jack you with the ratchet for dough
Marques de sade a painful sadomasochist flow
We tapping your ho and keep the biscuit where I piss at
Pussy boy bitches asking where this faggot dick at
I ain't never left the fucking crib without the gizzat
Ain't nobody above a homicide or a kidnap
If you got the army gear then you need the boots
If you talking about an army then you need the troops
It's all war over here I never seen the truce
I'm calling Maserati Mazi I don't mean the coupe
This here? This the duffle that I carry bones
Pistolvania most underrated since Larry Holmes
I run with a bunch of Ricans and they carry chrome
Here's a body bag to put the pussy that you carry home

Wrath climbs in the ring, pulls on the ropes and starts to circle the ring, ready to get into the action}

Vasco Dias: Well...that seemed....long...

Terri Morasco: zzzzzZZZZzzzzz

Vasco Dias: Terri?...Terri wake up....

Terri Morasco: Ahh what?...where?....oh I'm still here...

{"Turn The Page" by Metallica blasts over the PA system as the fans start to cheer. Smoke fills the entrance way and Jostrodomus emerges from the smoke arms in the air, fist clinched, ready to fight. He walks down to the ring with that shit eating grin on his face that we've all become accustomed to and arrogantly gets into the ring as the fans continue cheering. He throws his arms in the air for one last firework show and pop from the fans before leaning against the ropes before the match starts.}

Vasco Dias: We have two newcomers here tonight, Wrath and Jostrodomus 

Terri Morasco: Two guys who have been around the block but have found a home in IWF...

Vasco Dias: This should be interesting.

{The bell rings and Wrath runs in on JT. He tackles him into the corner and starts throwing hard right hands before grabbing the top rope and laying in the boots. JT drops down and Wrath pushes his knee against JT's chest before being pulled back by the referee. Wrath argues with the ref and moves him out of the way, JT pulls himself to his feet and hits a hard right and another and another backing Wrath into the ropes, he whips Wrath across the ring and hits a reverse elbow, Wrath gets back to his feet and gets his with another elbow before rolling out of the ring to collect his thoughts.


JT rolls from the ring and grabs Wrath spinning him around with a hard right hand, Wrath stumbles back but comes back at him. JT ducks down and hits a spinebuster on the concrete with a loud thud. JT calls for Wrath to get up and goes for the superkick he calls the lights out, Wrath ducks and grabs JT hitting a uranage slamming him down, Wrath climbs onto the apron and leaps off with the elbow drop he calls the Nuke launcher}

Vasco Dias: An elbow to the floor!

Terri Morasco: That had to hurt both men

{Wrath pulls JT up and rolls him into the ring and slides in after him, JT rolls to his feet and Wrath grabs him in an exploder suplex into a pin

1

2

JT kicks out, Wrath stalks him as he struggles to get to his feet, he picks him up for the viking hammer, JT kicks his legs and lands behind Wrath, he kicks Wrath in the stomach as he turns around and hits a powerbomb. Wrath bounces off the mat holding his back as JT moves around him, he stands in the corner and calls for the superkick again, as Wrath gets up he goes for it, wrath catches JT's leg and pulls him into a stiff right hand that sends him down.}

Vasco Dias: Did you hear that shot terri?

Terri Morasco: I heard it..the whole arena heard it

{Wrath moves around JT stalking him again, he pushes him in the head with his foot as laughs as JT struggles to his feet, Wrath pulls him out and goes for a suplex, JT lands down behind him grabbing Wrath into a reverse DDT. Both men lay on the mat in ain and exhausted. Wrath starts to stir as does JT, they both get to their feet and start trading right hands back and forth, JT starts getting the better of Wrath with a few extra shots, Wrath ducks one and spins hitting a roaring elbow sending JT down again}

Vasco Dias: ROARING ELBOW!

Terri Morasco: Another hard shot by Wrath!

{Wrath pulls JT to his feet and goes for the viking sledgehammer again, JT again kicks his legs and lands behind him he goes for the number one stunner (rock bottom) Wrath elbows him in the side of the head, he lets him go and Wrath picks him up and again JT gets out of the viking sledgehammer hitting the lights out superkick, he pins 1.....2.....3}

"Al Thani"

{The crowd are all cheering as the cameras show their faces all around the arena. Many chant IWF along with other superstars.}

اهتمام!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

{Divine emerges on the stage, fully worn in black business suit with glasses on. She confidently walks over across the stage as she gets the crowds attention to focus on her.}

Divine: اهتمام!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Vasco Dias: Lukewarm reception for Divine.

Terri Morasco: Think they want her to speak English sooner rather than later.

Divine: الغربيين غبي هو الوقت الذي تركز عينيك على لي.

USA USA USA USA USA!

{Divine licks her lips and smiles as she briefly coughs before placing the microphone back to near her lips.}

Divine: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Divine, the number one sports agent of the Middle East. It is my pleasure to greatly announce for the very first time in Western wrestling history…..A Qatari native. But he is not just a normal Qatari, he is the bloodline relative to the emir, the man who was Middle Eastern sports personality of the year for last three years. A man who has wrestled is over 100 degree Fahrenheit heat. He is the Pearl Gladiator….Your future world champion and future favourite personality……MOHAMMED AL THANI!

PRAISE QATAR!
…


PRAISE AL THANI!
..



{The cameras quickly cut towards backstage as a red Ferrari dashes through backstage with the exhaust visibly smearing out smoke as Al Thani makes the Engine roar louder. The crowd get curious as to where he will sport out. The horn of the 6 digit figure automobile is seen as the red paint glistens thanks to the spotlights. Al Thani beeps the horn constantly to be seen purposely as the camera zooms on him with a smile on his face. A custom made steel ramp is fitted so Mohammed can drive over it with ease and park up on the stage. Al Thani gets out with his arms wide open and a big smile on his face, but is met with a mixed reception.}

Terri Morasco: No one likes a show off I guess from this crowd.

Vasco Dias: That is a 2015 Ferrari model worth seven hundred thousand dollars he has right there!

{Al Thani hugs his agent Divine before asking for the music to be cut as he gets the microphone off Divine. His custom made tux with the colours of Qatar along with his sparkling Rolex watch shimmers as Mohammed embraces the spotlight.}

Al Thani: وقت الغزو الغربي قد انتهى. وقد بدأ الوقت لشرقا إلى الارتفاع. هذه ليست مجرد نفسي الاستيلاء على المصارعة الغربية ... نحن السيطرة على العالم الغربي واستبدالها القيم والاحترام والنزاهة والحب للجميع.

{The fans chant for Mohammed to speak English as they can’t understand him, but Divine applauds him.}

Al Thani: لا أكثر سوف تكون جميع حقنوا السم الذي هو أمريكا ... وأنا هنا لأقول أننا علاج!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

{Mohammed initially is surprised until Divine whispers finely in his ear. He nods as he wipes away at his nose.}

Al Thani (Broken English): My mistake, I keep forgetting we don’t all speak multiple languages.

Vasco Dias: Burn!

Al Thani (Broken English): I think we got off to wrong start. We are here to embrace your culture…good and bad. We are here to love your culture and to respect you all! I am here to tell my people that America and the west are not all as bad as you think that you are!

{The crowd start to cheer}

Al Thani (Broken English): I am here to win matches and win you all with respect. I like you, love pro wrestling. My heart is pro wrestling, my dreams are pro wrestling. This money I inherited does not poison me.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Al Thani: I want to tell you all that I am here to fight, respect, to win and to win titles for not just my people….BUT FOR ALL OF YOU!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Al Thani: And this is how I will do it! Go for it!
Explosions are heard from the cat walk as bundles of money spread in the air across all over the arena. Al Thani smiles as the crowd target the dollar bills as they scramble to get the cash.

Terri Morasco: Wow, maybe he ain’t so bad after all!

{Fans grab cash before cheering on Mohammed. He smiles before throwing the 2015 Ferrari car keys in the air as a fan grabs them! He applauds them as he and Divine begin to walk away. Terri and Vasco grab some of the cash as the fan goes over the barricade to go to his newly won Ferrari 2015.}

Vasco Dias: Wait wait wait….This is fake!

{Vasco stands up a dollar bill to get the camera to focus in to show that the dollar bills are all in Arabic, confirming they are indeed fake. The crowd boo loudly as they soon realise they’ve been had. The fan who grabbed the keys goes to the car but can’t unlock it. He tries the button and actual key several times but can’t unlock the Ferrari. Security guards comes in and escort him away as the crowd boo loudly.}

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Terri Morasco: We’ve been had. He didn’t throw the real car key into the audience!

Vasco Dias: What a jerk!

Terri Morasco: He’s teasing us with control. Mohammed just became public enemy number one!

{The backstage camera see Mohammed and Divine laughing loudly as they go back to the locker room to prepare for their match later on.}

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

SINGLES MATCH
Krig Hellscream vs Jack Swanson

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

{ The voice of Hungry Jack comes over the arena speakers and yells “Who's Hungry!” “All You Can Eat” by The Fat Boys then starts to play as Swanson makes his way down the ramp stepping in time to the beat. When he reaches the ring he climbs the steps and enters over the top rope. He continues to bob his head to the music until it ends. }

Terri Morasco: Hungry Jack is here and he appears ready for what should be an explosive fight between two of our newest heavyweights.

Vasco Dias: One of them is hungry all of the time, and the other is an orc. I don’t foresee much out of either one of them.

{ The lights flicker for a moment but don’t go out when orange, red, and yellow lights all flash around the stage while the instrumentals of “For Victory or Death” by Amon Amarth is playing throughout every speaker and the crowd while Krig Hellscream makes his appearance without much of a delay. He has a flagpole held in one hand with the flag being all black for the exception of the red Horde symbol. He snarls out at the crowd showing his ferociousness almost as if he were an animal. He raises his arm in the air with a clenched fist and pumps his arm a few times along with the drumbeat that follows the song. When the song picks back up, he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts out, “LOK’TAR!” while the crowd returns with the word, “OGAR!” as he allows himself to grin at the crowd; he marches down the ramp with the Horde flag held high—when he gets to the bottom of the ramp, he stands in front of the ring for a moment and shows off his athleticism by leaping to the apron of the ring. He turns to the crowd and lifts his flag once more before setting it up to lean against the turnbuckle and he finally gets into the ring… he runs to the far side of the ring and jumps to the middle rope and while leaning out to the crowd once more, shouts his war cry, “LOK’TAR OGAR!” Many of the fans chant with him as he turns toward the referee who always looks intimidated by his physical appearance—it could be the green skin, the tusks, or just his physical prowess. Krig stands in the ring in anticipation and excitement for that bell to sound and for him to become free to fight. }

Terri Morasco: And our resident orc is in the ring and the crowd loves him!

Vasco Dias: He’s a beast! He belongs in the zoo!

Terri Morasco: You’re part of the problem, Vasco.

{ Both Krig Hellscream and Jack Swanson stand near the middle of the ring, allowing the spectators to prepare for this spectacle. Jack stands a little taller over Krig, but Krig doesn’t appear to be intimidated by the much larger man in the least. Jack Swanson pounds his chest while standing toe-to-toe with the orc… Krig pounds his own chest harder which appears to light up the crowd with the ferocity with every hit. “LOK-TAR-OGAR” chants break out among the crowd, and Jack decides to take a swing at Krig who easily ducks underneath his arm—he waits for Jack to turn around and connect with a hard elbow into his sternum following up with repeated back and forth elbows and fists very swiftly that is keeping Swanson from getting any of his own offense in but the shots from Hellscream do not hurt him too much. }

Terri Morasco: He is unloading everything he can on Swanson!

Vasco Dias: And I think his fat is sucking it all up.

{ The battle falls back into the corner with Hellscream still connecting with all the shots that he can, and Jack Swanson finally lifts his arm and grabs Hellscream by the head to connect with a head-butt! Jack Swanson is rubbing his own head as Hellscream takes a step back and shakes his head some but is otherwise un-phased. Jack looks up at the monster that stands before him in disbelief. }

Vasco Dias: He may have just messed up there.

Terri Morasco: That didn’t even look like it phased him.

Vasco Dias: Look out!

{ Krig Hellscream roars out to the crowd and charges forward to his prey as he now drives in with a head-butt of his own and quickly following up with a knee into Jack’s sternum that causes him to keel over with his hand still gripping the top rope. Krig stands over him and presses his hands together as he brings them down onto his upper back with a double axe handle smash and then battering his forearms down on top of him repeatedly. Despite the onslaught coming from his opponent, Jack Swanson manages to remain on his own feet and is starting to stand back up with Krig remaing on the offense the entire time—using all of his strength and putting all of his weight behind it, Jack manages to shove Hellscream away from him and almost back to the center of the ring… }

Terri Morasco: The ferocity of Hellscream is astonishing and he doesn’t look ready to stop!

Vasco Dias: Like I said before! He is a beast and he does not belong in the ring!

{ Krig Hellscream wastes no time and charges to attempt a body splash on Jack Swanson, but Jack manages to get out of the way! He bounces off the far ropes as Krig leans into the corner where he missed his target, and Jack attempts a body splash of his own—this time Krig is able to move out of the way and Jack Swanson is back in the corner. At a much faster pace, Krig Hellscream bounces off the far ropes and bounces off of them to increase his velocity as he charges back at Swanson and attempts to go for a Shining Wizard into the corner. }

Vasco Dias: I didn’t know that he could move that quick.

Terri Morasco: Hellscream doesn’t look to be in a good spot right here.

{ Jack Swanson ducks under Hellscream’s knee which swung over the top rope and leaves him vulnerable there for a moment. While he’s trying to bring his leg back into the ring, Jack Swanson grabs his other leg and flips him over the ropes and to the outside of the ring! Jack Swanson is taking this moment that he has to regain his breath as Krig Hellscream lands hard outside of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: That big guy actually did something smart.

Terri Morasco: He bought himself a little time and might be able to get some of this momentum back.

{ Jack is leaning against the corner to peer over the top almost in an attempt to get a glimpse of his opponent who is pushing himself up to his knees while trying to avoid being counted out. ONE! The referee has started the count and Jack Swanson is hoping that Krig is as stupid as he looks; TWO! Krig has one foot firmly on the safety mat outside of the ring and is starting to get up to his second. THREE! Jack Swanson backs up from the corner and is taunting for Krig Hellscream, who has just gotten back to his feet, to get back into the ring—Krig doesn’t disappoint him by sliding underneath the bottom rope and within half a second is already up to his feet. Both of them are charging at each other, Jack Swanson just a step ahead as he was already on his feet… }

Vasco Dias: I feel like the planet should explode right about now.

Terri Morasco: Neither man is backing down! And Swanson connects!

{ Swanson connects with a clothesline that sends Krig back but doesn’t knock him off his feet. Krig bounces off the ropes and comes directly at Swanson to hit him with a shoulder block! Jack Swanson shakes his head at Hellscream who appeared to almost bounce off the former competitive eater, and Hellscream is quick to rush back against the ropes to give himself some momentum as he charges in for a second shoulder block! He gets the same response; Hellscream backs up for a third but as he goes forward this time, Jack is able to lift his leg and connect with a big boot that sends the orc down! Krig is holding his jaw as Jack falls down over him trying to crush him with all of his weight as he also attempts the cover: One! ….. TWO! ….. Hellscream kicks out! }

Terri Morasco: I don’t know how he got out of that one; it appeared as if his neck almost snapped from the impact!

Vasco Dias: And how he could power out of all that weight crushing his sternum… I just don’t know.

{ Swanson puts his hands over Hellscream as he pushes himself to his feet, and Hellscream is trying to get up after Swanson is on his feet but a swift stomp from Swanson prevents him from doing so while Swanson then follows up by walking backward until he bounces off the ropes and come back to leap as high as he can into the air for a body splash! Hellscream rolls out of the way as Swanson has knocked the wind out of himself—Swanson is clinging to his abdomen as Hellscream is quickly up to his feet and quickly towers over him. Hellscream puts his arms around Swanson’s neck and lowers himself down as he has Swanson locked into a camel clutch! The referee is checking with Swanson to see if he wants to give up but Swanson is shaking his head while reaching for Hellscream’s arms to try to pull them loose but it’s to no avail. He tries to toss his body back but this only allows Hellscream to have better leverage on him. }

Vasco Dias: Somehow this animal is showing that he does have some technique!

Terri Morasco: You sound pleased.

Vasco Dias: Shocked, really!

{ Swanson finally manages to twist his body so that he’s now facing Hellscream, and Hellscream replies to this by kneeling over him and beginning to swing lefts and rights—Swanson brings his arms up to try to defend his head as much as he can but the shots coming from Hellscream are coming in so rapidly that he can’t defend himself. The referee finally tries to put his hands between Hellscream and Swanson and forces him to take a step back—he stomps forward, parading around the ring as if he were already victorious and shouts out, “LOK’TAR!” to which the crowd returns with “OGAR!” }

Terri Morasco: And with the whole crowd behind him, Hellscream is looking to bring this match to a close.

Vasco Dias: He’s wasting too much time, though.

{ Hellscream begins to stalk Swanson who appears dazed from trying to catch his breath and then receiving nothing less than brutality from the orc. When Swanson gets up to his knees, Hellscream scrambles forward and brings his elbow back to try to connect with a bionic elbow but Swanson manages to lock his arms around him and put him into a bear hug! At first Hellscream does try to repeat the move back on Swanson with the superior strength but he can’t get his arms all the way around him—Swanson squeezes as hard as he can seemingly trying to break Hellscream’s spine in the process. }

Vasco Dias: He is going to break him!

Terri Morasco: And Hellscream can’t even get his arms around him so he can’t seem to break free.

{ Hellscream tries to deliver a clubbing forearm blows into Swanson’s upper back but it’s proving to be to no avail as he can’t get enough power behind the hits to force him back at all. He manages to get his hands onto Swanson’s head and force him back a bit and tries to deliver a hard elbow to him but that still doesn’t work… he finally connects with a bell clap that forces the giant man to stagger but he does not release the hold. }

Vasco Dias: That looks like it may have done the trick.

Terri Morasco: I don’t think Swanson knows where he is anymore.

{ Hellscream connects with a second bell clap, and a third that finally forces Swanson to release the hold as he clutches the side of his head which is now ringing. Hellscream runs back against the ropes and comes forward only for Swanson to reach his hands forward in an act of desperation as he has him ready for Dinner is Served! }

Vasco Dias: Could he have it?!

Terri Morasco: It looks to be in his favor.

{ ellscream brings his arms down across Swanson’s to force him to release the hold and quickly follows up by delivering a devastating knee to his midsection; he then brings Swanson toward him and lifts him up onto his shoulders as the crowd goes into a frenzy at this display of strength! }

Vasco Dias: What the… That’s over 400 pounds that he’s lifting like a rag doll!

Terri Morasco: The world does not know what it just saw!

Vasco Dias: He better not drop him! He might knock the world out of orbit!

{ Hellscream shouts “LOK’TRA” out as loud as he can bellow before swinging the giant man in midair to send him down the canvas to complete the move he calls Lok’tra! Hellscream quickly rolls him over and hooks the near leg: One! ….. Two! ….. THREE! }

Alison Valance: Your winner by way of pin fall! HELLSCREAM!

{ Following the sound of the bell, the referee raises Hellscream’s arm into the air to show him as the victor and the crowd is cheering but Hellscream jerks his arm away after a moment and makes a quick escape from the ring.}

Vasco Dias: A man of not so many words.

Terri Morasco: Well, we did enslave his people.

SEGMENT
"A little chat..."

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

{ What appears to be previously recorded. Felicity Fade (hair spiked and wearing a black short skirt and red dazzling top with a couple straps and black high heels) is seen sitting with her legs crossed next to IWF's commentator Terri Morasco in a living room, decorated for the Christmas season. Behind the sofa is a Christmas tree decorated in silver and blue and lighted up with white lights. }

Terri Morasco: Thank you Felicity Fade, for giving me the opportunity to sit down with you and get to know you better, as your big match for the Ruby Championship at Diamonds Are Forever quickly approach.

{ Felicity smiles and nods her head. }

Terri Morasco: Thanks for having me Terri and I can't wait for Diamonds Are Forever.

{ A couple scenes of the interview is skipped as we suddenly appears to a point where Terri is asking Felicity about her road to redemption. }

Terri Morasco: Since your debut, which didn't went too well as we all know about a month ago. You have been on this journey, this road to redemption.

Felicity Fade: That's right.

Terri Morasco: How more further before the end of that road and then what?

Felicity Fade: Well look, it all started with my first match. I let down Sebastian big time and I know the only thing that can do to get back on his good side is by going all the way, defeating the won that took my victory one month ago and become the Ruby Champion at Diamonds Are Forever.

Terri Morasco: Your best friend thinks you have done that and so much more and that you don't need any redemption what-so-ever and I kind of agree with Razz. You walked into Survival of the Fittest and left the World's Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden as not just a winner of a Triple Threat Match, but also a contender for the Ruby Championship at the all Diamonds pay-per-view event. You got into a tag team match one week later and you won that match as well. What more do you have to prove to Sebastian and The One Percent?

Felicity Fade: My redemption ends at Diamonds Are Forever, when I beat Firenze Everett in the center of the ring. My Diamonds Are Forever opponent, has been on this ride, that I sold myself to The One Percent. She claims, that I couldn't make it to the big leagues, because of the one percent. She call Sebastian Wolf, the one man who extended his hand and helped me, because he's a good man, she called him a parasite. I don't see where it's wrong to extend a hand and help someone who needs it. I owe Sabastian my career and that is why at Diamonds Are Forever, I need to win the biggest match of my career. I have to defeat Firenze Everett. I will be crowned the new Ruby Champion.

{ The interview suddenly cuts and we move back to the commentators desk. }

Vasco Dias: Wow! I have a question for you Terri. How does Felicity Fade comes off to you? Confident or do you sense doubt, butterflies building inside.

Terri Morasco: I am not too sure. I think her mindset is there, she's ready to go out and perform to win. Her confidence is high, but to say there is butterflies behind that cloud of confidence Felicity Fade is showing, I'm not too sure. There is no doubt a whole lot of pressure on her and that is why I asked her; What happens if she lose? What if Felicity Fade does not leave Diamonds Are Forever the new Ruby Champion?

Vasco Dias: What she said?

Terri Morasco: Like everybody else, you'll have to wait for the entire interview to air, which you can see only on the IWF Network. Which by the way is an awesome interview, very detailed and very personal. We got to see the other side of Felicity Fade. From her hometown, all the way here to IWF.

Vasco Dias: I some how knew you was going to say that.

{ Terri laughs and shakes her head as they continue with the show. }

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

FATAL FOURWAY MATCH
Invictus Number One Contender
Nighthawk vs Kyle Mason vs Jack Gaither vs Mohamed Al-Thani

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

Allison Valance: This next contest is a #1 contender’s fatal four-way match and is scheduled for 1 fall.

{The familiar screech of an eagle is heard, and a burst of pyro goes off as Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls On Parade" kicks into high gear. Within the plumes of white smoke, a lone spotlight shines brightly as the figure of Jack Gaither appears on-stage, his head covered by a gleaming silver mask featuring blu. and gold trims on all sides. Wearing a sports jersey and all silver tights with a pattern of gold and blue flames on both sides--not to mention blue boots with silver tassels--the "Golden Eagle" quickly springs down to ringside, high-fiving random folks along the way. As he approaches the ring, Jack takes off his mask and gives it to a lucky fan. A cannon goes off just as the lights come back on en masse.}

Allison Valance: Introducing first, participant #1….. he is from Corpus Christi, TX and weighed in at 181 pounds….. please welcome ‘The Golden Eagle’ Jack Gaither!

{Blues Saraceno - Evil Ways (Justice Mix) blares through the PA system as Kyle Mason steps out from behind the curtains. Mason walks out to the front of the rampway and scans the crowd. He starts to make his way to the ring and stop as if he forgot something. He smiles and makes the "X" symbol over his head as pyros explode at the entrance way. Mason then begins to walk arrogantly towards the ring. As he reaches the apron, Mason slides under the bottom rope and climbs the nearest turnbuckle. He pumps up the crowd and hops off and leans in the corner, waiting for the match to start.}

Allison Valance: His opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and weighing in at 200 pounds….. Kyle Mason!

{Walking in the ring to grab the microphone from Allison Valance, Divine clears her throat theatrically and announces her charge.}

Divine: Introducing the one true winner of the match, from Doha, Qatar and weighing in at 275 pounds of Allah-sculpted perfection…. ‘The Pearl Gladiator’ Mohammed Al-Thani!

{Walking to the ring as Divine throws rose petals at his feet Mohammed Al-Thani moves impassively, looking haughtily at his 2 opponents as he clearly believes them to be no threat to him whatsoever.}

{As his opponent stands in a neutral corner the lights in the arena slowly click off, one by one, as the sold-out crowd rises to its feet in anticipation of what is to come. And as the opening strains of "Holding Out For A Hero (The Autumn Wind Intro)" by Emery boom out over the sound system Nighthawk walks out through the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp, hands on his hips as he looks all around at the sold-out crowd with the barest hint of a smile on his face. Walking down the ring, shaking hands with the fans in the first 2 rows of the building and making a special effort to shake the hands and give out hugs to the kids in the front row as behind him blue-and-white Roman columns of fireworks go off, the "Wrestling Machine" finally gets to the ring and stands on the top turnbuckle while raising his left hand above his head as the crowd chants "Best in the World."}

Allison Valance: And their opponent…….. from Chicago, Illinois, USA and weighing in at 185 pounds….. please welcome ‘The Man of 1000 Holds’…… ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Nighthawk!

Terri Morasco: And this, on a night with two championship matches, is what can be called a title eliminator. The winner of it gets a shot at the Invictus Championship. These are 4 men who each think they deserve a shot at the title. Tonight, one of those men will see their faith rewarded.

Vasco Dias: The match I’m most looking forward to seeing out of all of the possible permutations is Nighthawk vs Kyle Mason. In a lot of ways, we really haven’t had the chance to see everything that Nighthawk can do because he’s been in the ring against guys who were just brawlers so he couldn’t delve as deep into his arsenal as he might have wanted to. Kyle Mason will give him that chance.

{As the bell rings to start the contest Nighthawk and Kyle Mason shake hands with each other, each man seeming to ignore Jack Gaither and Mohammed Al-Thani as they immediately lock up in the center of the ring and jockey for position. Unable to get any sort of foothold towards anything they finally back themselves up into a neutral corner where the referee steps in to force the clean break, which he gets after quite a good bit of negotiation on his part as Kyle Mason does not seem overly enthused about giving it. Moving back into the middle of the ring, a brief hint of a smile on his face at the idea that he might be able to test himself against someone finally, Nighthawk again goes for a collar-and-elbow lock-up as he and Kyle Mason again move back into the center of the ring. But this time the Calgary native sneaks out the back door right into a standing full nelson as he tries to draw a quick submission for himself, locking his fingers behind the head of Nighthawk to try and see if he wants to give up the match. Shaking his fingers no as the referee comes over to see if he wants to quit the “Wrestling Machine” now begins to work on finding the counter to the hold which he gets by lifting his legs up to his chest to loosen the grip on the hold to the point where he can slip himself all the way out of the full-nelson as both men stand at the ready.}

Terri Morasco: And with Nighthawk and Kyle Mason, two world-class mat technicians, in this match we had to expect there was going to be quite a good bit of this sort of action at the outset. The interesting thing to watch is Gaither and Al-Thani, and how they just….. watched those 2 men wrestle. Normally, in a 4-corners match like this, it’s all action from the opening bell. Not tonight. Why do you think that is, Vasco?

Vasco Dias: In the locker rooms, before the start of the show, those men on the roster who know Nighthawk’s legend, and what he’s capable of, have been openly looking for someone who would really test him, really push him and show the depth of what he can do as a technician. Everyone agreed that Kyle Mason had what it took to be that man. Watching them battle is a joy.

{But as Nighthawk and Kyle Mason stand in the center of the ring again, Jack Gaither and Mohammed Al-Thani rush the ring and waylay both men with Jack Gaither landing stiff kicks to the chest of Nighthawk while Mohammed Al-Thani knocks the Calgarian into next week with a vicious bicycle kick. Seemingly contented with his choice Mohammed Al-Thani rolls Kyle Mason to the outside of the ring and takes one look at Jack Gaither who is continuing to throw kicks at Nighthawk who, by this point, is on his knees and still taking hard kicks from the “Golden Eagle”. Smiling through the blows Nighthawk points behind him as Mohammed Al-Thani obliterates Jack Gaither with a dead lift release German suplex. Climbing up to his feet the Chicago native lands a forearm smash followed by a wheelbarrow into an armdrag before signaling for a palm strike. But as he goes for it the “Pearl Gladiator” blocks it and instead lands a vicious deadlift Dragon suplex that both gets a long 2-count and sends Nighthawk rolling to the floor holding his neck. But as Mohammed Al-Thani sets up for the Wrath of Sharia on Jack Gaither Kyle Mason springboards into the ring with a missile dropkick to the back of the head only to walk right into a superkick from Jack Gaither as all 4 men lie around the ringside area catching their breath.}

Terri Morasco: And considering what’s on the line in this match, all 4 men are wrestling with the highest level of intensity possible. No one is holding anything back, or trying to wait anyone out. This is a war early on.

Vasco Dias: If I was Nighthawk, Gaither, and Mason, I’d be trying real hard to get Al-Thani out of here somehow. He’s the biggest and strongest man in the match and because of that, he can really be a monster if he needs to.

{As Mohammed Al-Thani rises to his feet first, trying to figure out who he wants to attack, Nighthawk makes that decision for him by rolling onto the ring apron while still holding his neck. Getting the beginnings of a smile on his face Jack Gaither gets to the apron looking for a running double-stomp only to be monkey-flipped into the ring post by Nighthawk. Pulling himself up to his feet Nighthawk heads up to the top turnbuckle and comes off with a gorgeous spaceman quebrada moonsault to the floor. Leaning against the guardrail, letting out a war cry, the Chicago native then rushes to the ring apron before signaling for a springboard tornado DDT on Mohammed Al-Thani. But as he goes for it the “Pearl Gladiator” counters and heaves him up into the air looking for a powerbomb which the “Wrestling Machine” rolls through into a hurricanrana that gets a 2-count. But as he pops up looking to consolidate his momentum Kyle Mason flies in with a running clothesline that turns him inside out. Almost as quickly as Kyle Mason looks to hook in some kind of a submission on Nighthawk Jack Gaither appears and hits a shining wizard. Using this opportunity to escape Nighthawk begins to stalk the two men as Gaither prepares to finish Mason off but before he can he is struck with a step-up Enziguri from Nighthawk, sending him to the mat. Taking his chance Nighthawk picks up Mason and hits a Bridging Dragon Suplex before going for the pin, 1........ 2........ 3! Nighthawk picks up the victory in a very narrow contest hottly fought by all the participants. }

SEGMENT
”You’d better watch out.”

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

{ The ring area is beautifully decorated giving the Christmas feel in the IWF. The ropes are wrapped with green, red and white garlands. There is a wreath on every steel post, the canvas inside the ring is covered a red carpet and close to the center of the ring there is a seven feet high Christmas tree decorated with gold garland, Christmas lights and a lighted star at the top. Next to tree is a really cool chair, that too is decorated. There is a table also in the ring with chocolate chip cookies and with a jug of milk and empty glasses. Suddenly on the stage area a choir group is gathered and the crowd begins to cheer as Mariah Carey makes her way out on stage. }

Alsion Valance: Ladies and gentlemen please Platinum Recording Artist and Grammy Award winner, .....Mariah Carey!!!

{ The crowd erupts with cheers as Mariah waves at the crowd and then makes her way to the choir dressed in white and green. The lights dim slightly when they start to sing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" }

YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT
YOU'D BETTER NOT CRY
YOU'D BETTER NOT POUT
I'M TELLING YOU WHY

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN

{ Mostly the kids in begins cheering as Santa Claus walks out on stage with several elves holding bags. As they follow Santa down the ramp, they start handing out IWF merchandise, from t-shirts, to action figures, to IWF to hats and other accessories. The crowd is cheering Santa on as snow starts to fall from high above the arena into the crowd. }

Terri Morasco: Snow, are you kidding me?

Vasco Dias: I love snow and I think the fans are loving it as well.

Terri Morasco: I'm wondering where Santa got all that IWF stuff.

Vasco Dias: It's Santa Claus, he probably made it in the North Pole.

{ Santa makes his way up the steel steps and enters the ring as the choir continues singing. He puts his hand in his bag and pulls out candy canes, which he starts tossing out into the crowd. As the choir brings their singing to an end, Santa takes a seat on his chair, next to the Christmas tree. One of the elves hands him a microphone. }

Terri Morasco: Oh he's got somethings to say.

Vasco Dias: Have you been naughty or nice this year?

{ The crowd cheers, as a "Santa Claus" chant begins. }

Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, .....Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas IWF!

{ The crowd cheers, as the "Santa Claus" chant continues. }

Santa Claus: Thank you Mariah Carey and the choir for such beautiful signing. It is good to be back for the Christmas season. Since last year, after Santa went back to the North Pole, Santa has been working hard, putting that Naughty or Nice list together. And guess what? .....Santa Claus has the complete naughty or nice list right here.

{ Santa Claus goes into his bag as he get cheers from the crowd, as he pulls out the list, it rolls out on the canvas. }

Santa Claus: It's a long list, but not too long for Santa Claus, because Santa.....

{ "All The Right Moves" by One Republic hits all of a sudden as the lights dim leaving most of the arena in darkness, while a white light shines on stage area, with green lights flickering around it. The crowd erupts with boos as Sebastian Wolf (wearing a black sweater hoodie half zipped revaling a white t-shirt under the sweater, black Levi's jeans and black & white Nike Air-Shox) followed close behind by Aric Hardy (sporting a plain black v-neck t-shirt, faded blue Levi's jeans with a black knee brace stapped over the pants around his knee area and gray & white Diamond Turf Nikes) who is using one crutch to help him walk, make their way out on stage. }

Terri Morasco: The Grinches of Christmas!

Vasco Dias: How do you know they're Grinches? Maybe they just want to meet Santa up close and personal.

Terri Morasco: Like they never met Santa Claus.

Vasco Dias: This is the real Santa from the North Pole, not the bogus Santas out there. It's everyone in their lifetime get to meet the real Santa Claus.

Terri Morasco: I cannot believe I'm a conversation with you on this.

{ The chorus of boos continue as the two make their way to the ring. Aric Hardy rolls into the square circle, while Sebastian heads up the steel steps and enters the ring from the apron. Aric uses the ropes to pull himself up, as Sebastian picks up his crutch and hands it to Aric Hardy. Sebastian holding a microphone looks at Santa Claus, as his theme song fades and the lights return to normal. The crowd begins a "Wolf is Naughty" chant. Sebastian listens and then shakes his head. }

Terri Morasco: So do you think Sebastian and Aric has been naughty this year?

Vasco Dias: Well the crowd surely thinks Sebastian has been naughty.

Sebastian Wolf: Shut up!

{ The crowd boos as Sebastian tries to talk over the boos. }

Sebastian Wolf: Yeah, you people have no idea. No idea just how good, just how nice I, Sebastian Wolf has been all year round. I have been giving millions of dollars to charities, that help kids that needs an education. Needs medical help. I have helped an old lady cross the road.

{ The crowd is not buying it as they continue booing. }

Terri Morasco: I don't believe Sebastian ever helped an old lady cross the road.

Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho, Sebastian. I remember your name Sebastian Wolf, I remember your name specifically, because last year in an interview you said "Screw Christmas, Santa Claus is not real!"

Vasco Dias: What?!

Terri Morasco: Santa has a damn good memory.

{ The crowd erupts with boos as they now start chanting "Santa's Real". }

Santa Claus: Unfortunately Sebastian, since then, you have not changed from being a bad boy. You.....

{ Suddenly Aric grabs a microphone from Santa Claus, as the crowd boos, of a clear sign of disrespect. }

Aric Hardy: I'm tired of your b.s. Santa. Where were you when Sebastian saved my mother's house from being foreclosed. Where was Santa Claus, when my dad was injured in a car accident, leaving him crippled for life. Where was you Santa, when I was stationed in Afghanistan and all I wanted for Christmas was to hold my girlfriend. Where was the legendary Santa Claus? Maybe you just another fake, a con-artist. Maybe Santa Claus is not real.

{ The crowd erupts with boos not liking what Aric said. }

Terri Morasco: He can't say that!

Vasco Dias: He just did!

Terri Morasco: There's kids in this arena, at home looking at this show.

Santa Claus: I am very real Aric!

Sebastian Wolf: Oh yeah? You're real? Let's put that to a test.

{ Sebastian pulls on Santa's beard by it does not come off like other Santa Claus'es around the world. }

Vasco Dias: The beard is real.

{ He then pulls on Santa's hair, which does not comes off like a wig. }

Terri Morasco: And so is the hair on top of his head. I think we have the real Santa Claus here.

{ The crowd begins to cheer as Santa Claus stands up, he pulls out a pen from his pocket and begins to write something. }

Sebastian Wolf: What the hell are you writing?

Santa Claus: I'm officially putting you down on the naughty list. Sebastian, you will receive coal in your stockings this year.

{ The crowd erupts with cheers, when suddenly Aric Hardy steps up into the face of Santa Claus. He tells Santa something off the microphone and then slaps Santa soft as is he is toying with him. The cheers quickly change in to boos. }

Terri Morasco: He just slapped Santa Claus.

{ Aric Hardy toy slaps Santa a couple more times, as Santa puts his hands up as if he does not want any trouble. When he does this Aric Hardy pushes him hard, sending Santa back into the chair which tumbles over as Sebastian laughs and the crowd boos. Aric and Sebastian fist bumps each other as Santa struggles to get up. }

Terri Morasco: Oh my God, he can't do that.

Vasco Dias: Aric can do whatever the hell he want.

{ The short midget elves who was looking on in concern, rushes to Santa Claus aid. Aric looks on in disbelief, as he grabs one and tosses him to the side, the others flee to the outside. Aric mounts Santa and looks him dead in the eye and talks to him off the microphone, but load enough we can hear what he is saying. }

Aric Hardy: So you're the real Santa Claus huh? Well I've been wanting to meet you and tell you something, for a very long time. You know what it is Santa?

{ There is no response to Santa who is trying to catch his breath. }

Aric Hardy: I hate you!

{ Aric gets up and pulls Santa up with him, and then irish-whips Santa Claus into the heavily decorated Christmas tree. Santa and the tree goes tumbeling down. The crowd erupts in boos, as the young fans, the kids looks on in horror, some even crying and hugging their parents. }

Terri Morasco: Still think they're not Grinches?

Vasco Dias: Grinches is too kind to label these two.

{ Dressed in his dorky colorful suit, Razz races down the ramp, slides into the ring and tries to talk to Aric Hardy to stop. }

Aric Hardy: You want me to stop?

{ Razz nods and puts his hands together in a praying position, begging Aric to please stop. Aric smiles and nods. }

Aric Hardy: Fine!

Terri Morasco: Thank God it's over.

{ As Razz turns his back on Aric and goes to tend to Santa Claus, Sebastian hands Aric his crutch. Aric then slams it hard onto the back of Razz. Razz drops to the canvas and rolls around in pain, as Aric hits again and again, before using the stomp of the crutch to press against Razz throat, choking him. "You Suck" chants erupts from the crowd, Aric continues the assault. As he turns and looks at Santa Claus who is crawling towards the ropes, as the elves tells him him to comes. Aric raise the crutch in the air and brings it down across Santa's back. He hits Santa Claus, again, and again, and again, and again, it was at number eleven or twelve some lost count, officials rush to the ring and get between Aric and Santa claus. Santa is reeling in pain, some of the officials yells at Aric "Enough", others telling him to "Get the hell out of here." As the he backs off and slowly makes his exit, Santa is up on all fours gasping for air. Medics are telling him to lay down, when out of nowhere Aric Hardy rushes and connects with what he calls the Gavel of Justice, a vicious and merciless stomp to the head of Santa Claus. }

Terri & Vasco: Oh my God!

{ Sebastian looks on in shock as officials push Aric backwards ordering him to get out now. He turns and looks at Sebastian, Aric smiles and taps Sebastian on the cheek and tells him something off the microphone. }

Aric Hardy: Smile it's Christmas.

{ The heavy amount of boos and "A-hole" chants begins, as the two make exit and move away from the ramp as medics tend to Santa Claus, we see two paramedics approach the ring with a stretcher while Aric and Sebastian make their way to the back. }

SINGLES MATCH
Rayne vs Ana Valentine

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

{ The crowd is dead silent when… }

”WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW!!!!”

{ The crowd pops big as the yellow pyro goes off and Rayne steps out through the curtain with the devil horns held high over her head. Rayne nods her head and slaps the hands of some of the fans as she walks down the ramp. She steps part way up onto the steps and throws up the devil horns again as yellow pyro bursts from the ring posts. She steps into the ring and looks around as the fans continue to cheer. }

Vasco Dias: Rayne has a huge challenge in front of her tonight

Terri Morasco: She indeed does. A two time IWF Diamonds champion in Ana Valentine

Vasco Dias: But Rayne is someone who can cause headaches for her.

{The lights lower and a purple spotlight shines on the stage. Oteps "seduce and destroy" comes over the speakers, Ana Valentine makes her way out. She makes her way down to the ring very slowly getting past the fans.

As the fans boo wildly, Ana stops and smirks, looking out over the crowd before she reaches the ring steps and takes a knee, holding her hands in front of her in a prayer position, she then stands.

Ana leaps up onto the ring apron and as the song blasts into a harder part, Ana throws her arms out and lets out a scream before getting into the ring.}

Terri Morasco: Ana Valentine has alot on her mind. Including a Diamonds title match.

Vasco Dias: Only a week till that match but Ana has to get past Rayne first

{The bell rings and Rayne and Ana move to the center of the ring. Ana laugh and slams her hand into Rayne's face with a hard slap. Rayne turns slowly back to Ana and then explodes with a double leg takedown, the crowd goes nuts as Rayne hits hard right hands on Ana who covers up. Ana kicks Rayne off and gets to her feet, Rayne runs in and hits a hard forearm, Ana leans back against the ropes and Rayne whips her across the ring, Ana ducks a clothesline and goes through to the ropes again, Ana leaps up for a crossbody and Rayne ducks sending Ana across the ring and out to the floor.}

Vasco Dias: Rayne has taken charge!

Terri Morasco: Well she is the head bitch.

{Rayne slides from the ring as Ana gets to her feet, Rayne spins her around and Ana pokes her in the eyes. Rayne stumbles back and Ana grabs her wrist and whips Rayne into the steel steps back first. Ana laughs and points to her head nodding. Ana pulls Rayne up and grabs her by the back of the head slamming her face first into the ring apron and rolling her into the ring. Ana leaps onto the ring apron and waits for Rayne to get to her feet. Ana springboards off the top rope landing on Rayne with a crossbody, she pins 1.....2....Rayne kicks out.

Vasco Dias: Wow, what a sequence of moves from these two amazing athletes.

Terri Morasco: No I'm the one who is supposed to love womens wrestling

{Both ladies start to pull themselves up, they loo at one another as they get to their knees and start to trade blows back and forth. A right hand from each woman, they get to one knee and keep fighting till they get to their feet, fists fly as the crowd gets into it, Rayne blocks a right from Ana and starts to get the upper hand, she gets a head of steam from the ropes but Ana hits a beautiful high standing dropkick sending Rayne down. Ana goes for the pin 1.....2.....Rayne kicks out}

Vasco Dias: These two are destroying one another.

Terri Morasco: They both have very important matches at Diamonds are forever but will they even make it there?

{Ana pulls Rayne u and hits the Valentine's bow spinebuster, Ana then stalks Rayne and almost begs her to get up, Rayne rolls over holding her back and uses the ropes to get up, as she reaches her feet and turns around Ana goes for the leaping complete shot she calls the "in his name" but Rayne holds the top rope causing Ana to crash onto the mat by the back of her head!. Rayne kicks Ana in the stomach and hits the BIC sitdown powerbomb!. Rayne rolls back and gets to her feet strutting around the ring playing up to the crowd.}

IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
Warren Kidd vs Judas Aliah©

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

Vasco Dias: It's time for the Invictus Championship!

{“A spotlight falls from the ceiling as "In the Air Tonight" begins to play. Out from the curtain steps Judas, who scowls at the audience with disdain. He stretches his arms out to his sides and looks up into the spotlight before walking towards the ring, ignoring the taunts from the audience. }

Terri Morasco: The Champion making his entrance first there, I wonder if we are actually going to get a match, or if “Brother Warren” is going to do what Judas wants him to here?

{ The lights go out as the drums of "Counting Bodies Like Sheep" kick in, the tron flickers to life. A modified version of Warrens previous video now littered with iconography of Judas Alliahs "truth" Warren Kidd walks out onto the stage wearing a plain black hoodie with the hood up. He drops to his knees on the ramp placing his hands together in a fist on his forehead, before extending his arms outwards his palms up towards the sky. He them climbs to his feet and makes his way to the ring. }

Vasco Dias: Well here's Warren Kidd! Getting himself an Invictus Championship shot way ahead of the end of Training Grounds in quite a shocking fashion. Tonight is his chance to prove to the world that he has what it takes.

Terri Morasco: Let's hope we actually get a match!

{ Judas stands opposite Warren smirking as he holds the Invictus Championship in the air. The referee comes and takes the championship off of him, before holding it up in the air for everyone to see, and then hands it to the timekeeper. }

Alison Valance: The following match up is scheduled for one fall, and is for the IWF Invictus Championship! Introducing first, weighing in at 205lbs from London, England.....Warren Kidd! And the fighting, defending champion.....weighing in at 300lbs from New Orleans, Louisiana....Judas Alliah!

{ The bell rings and both men begin to take steps towards the center of the ring. Judas raises both of his arms with his palms facing inwards, and a slight smirk spreads across his face as he locks eyes with Warren. }

Judas Alliah: Follow the path Warren. You know the Truth. You know His truth!

{ Warren stands with one hand on the rope, looking quite nervous. He looks to the crowd, and then he looks to Judas, who repeatedly bends his fingers towards himself as if to say “come here” but Warren doesn't move. He looks back to the crowd once more, and the crowd go absolutely nuts cheering for him to fight Judas. Judas doesn't move though, still making the same motions, and Warren still looks quite nervous. He takes his hands off of the ropes and steps into the middle of the ring cracking his neck and stepping into his fighting stance! }

Vasco Dias: Holy crap! We're gonna get a fight!

Terri Morasco: It's going to get real!

{ The crowd are going crazy but then suddenly turn to boos as Warren drops to his knees in front of Judas Alliah. Judas places his hands on Warrens shoulders and begins to laugh a little, his face looking quite maniacal as the crowd rain some serious boos down on the two of them. }

Terri Morasco: Man, the crowd are not happy with this.

Vasco Dias: Can you blame them? They paid to see a fight, not this!

{ It seems like Warren is just about to lay down for Judas when the tron flickers to life and the PA system kicks in with Avenged Sevenfolds “Hail to the King” roars through the speakers, the crowd go absolutely insane, jumping to their feet. Jumping up and down, throwing things in the air, screaming and everything. Judas turns to face the stage, and Warren rolls to one knee, as Spike Kane comes storming out onto the stage and sprinting towards the ring. }

Vasco Dias: IT'S SPIKE KANE!!!!

Terri Morasco: The Hall of Famer is bolting down to the ring. He's obviously not happy with whats going on here.

{ Spike slides into the ring and gets right into Judas' face, but Judas doesn't do anything. He holds his hands up and simply smirks at Spike, who is shouting verbal abuse in his face. Warren looks really confused, and seems to be asking Spike what is going on. He climbs to his feet and pulls Spike away from Judas. Spike pushes him off of him. }

Spike Kane: The hell is wrong with you!? This is a title match!

{ Whilst Spike has his back to Judas, Judas comes flying out of the turnbuckle and clobbers Spike from behind, sending him down to the mat. He grabs him by the head and throws him into the turnbuckle, before turning to Warren who is shocked as hell and glaring at him. }

Judas Alliah: Finish him! Prove your allegiance. Show me that you're part of our family.....finish him!

{ Warren rocks on his knees, tears starting to build in his eyes as he sees Spike struggling in the corner before he roars with rage and bolts to his feet and slams his foot into the face of Spike Kane with the Kidd Kick! Spike falls to the mat, and Judas smiles broadly, grabbing Warren and embracing him in a hug. The crowd are really pissed, booing wildly, chanting about how Warren sucks, and how Judas sucks, faint Spike chants can be heard....even some Rob Diamond chants can be heard. One or two chants of Infamous too. Hopeful chants that Spike's old tag team partner could come and save the day. }

Vasco Dias: I did not see this coming....

Terri Morasco: Warren Kidd just kicked his mentor right in the face.

Vasco Dias: He turned on Spike Kane with vicsiouc intent.

Terri Morasco: Judas' sway over Warren must be pretty powerful.

{ Inside the ring Judas leans in and whispers to Warren “you know what to do” and Warren simply nods his head, and drops to his knees before laying down on his back. Judas covers, and the ref counts......ONE! …..TWO! …..THREE! The bell rings, and “In the air tonight” begins to play as the referee hands Judas the belt. Warren climbs to his feet and helps hold Judas' hand in the air, as he looks down at Spike's lifeless body with cold emotionless eyes. }

Alison Valance: Your winner, and STILL Invictus Champion....Judas Alliah.

Vasco Dias: What an absolute disgrace.

Terri Morasco: Verona better get on damage control, people are going to want a refund.

{ Judas stands over the fallen Spike Kane and places the Invictus Title over his torso kneeling down with one knee to the side of Spike and staring down at him, speaking down to the hall of famer, the word inaudible, but Warren doesn't move a muscle, his cold emotionless eyes never straying as we cut backstage. }

IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSIP
MAN OF STEEL MATCH
Cliff Clinton vs Mason St. Croix (c)

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

Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen the following match is set for one fall, and is for the Man of Steel Championship! Introducing first, the challenger… CLIFF CLINTON!!!

{Sober by Tool begins to play as the arena goes black and then is overtaken by an errie blue light. As the music begins to pick up the camera spots Cliff walking down to the ring through the audience. He shuffles through the crowd and keeps his head down and hidden behind some hair as he mumbles to himself. Members of the crowd shift out of the way of this unknown character. Soon he hops over the barricade and climbs into the ring and walks into a corner and crouches as he mumbles to himself and glances around the arena.}

Terri Morasco: Cliff Clinton looks ready to go Vasco.

Vasco Dias: He looks insane.

Alison Valance: And his opponent, he is the IWF Man of Steel Champion… MASON ST. CROIX!!!

{"The War Isn't Over Yet" by Eye Empire begins playing and blue and white pyro shoots out from the walkway as Mason St. Croix storms through the curtain with the Man of Steel title around his waist and stares straight ahead with his eyes focus on his opponent. He walks at a marching pace towards the ring. Once in the ring Mason climbs all four turnbuckles one at a time taking in a surprising amount of cheers before hoping down and taking the center of the ring where he stands at attention while the refreree removes the title from his waist, his eyes never moving from Cliff as the cage begins to lower around them. }

Terri Morasco: Here we go!

{The ref holds the title in the air and signals for the bell. Mason steps towards Cliff who was still crouching and Cliff explodes out of the corner with a Big Boot almost taking Mason’s head off. The back of St. Croix’s head bounces off the mat with a thud but he springs back to his feet and throws a wild clothesline which Clinton ducks. He grabs Mason from behind and hits a Belly to Back Suplex. Mason sits up and Cliff bounces off the ropes and drives a knee into his face then lets out a yell.}

Terri Morasco: Cliff Clinton is on fire!

Vasco Dias: He’s definitely come to fight tonight.

{Clinton grabs St. Croix up off the mat and hooks him looking for a vertical suplex but Mason charges forward and drives him into the corner. Mason drives his shoulder into Cliff’s midsection a few times but Cliff clubs him across the back and shoves him away. Mason comes right back but Cliff grabs him by the throat and hits a quick Choke Slam. Clinton makes a cover but the referee reminds him that pinfalls aren’t counted in Man of Steel matches. Clinton gets up and shrugs his shoulders and attempts a Leg Drop but Mason rolls out of the way before quickly slapping on an STF!}

Terri Morasco: STF! Mason St. Croix is looking for the submission early.

Vasco Dias: Too early Terri. You have to wear down a guy like Cliff Clinton.

{Mason cranks back on Cliff’s neck and Cliff begins pulling himself towards the ropes. Mason tries to pull him back but Cliff is able to reach out his finger tips and grab the bottom rope using his first rope break.}

Alison Valance: Cliff Clinton has used his first rope break, he has one remaining!

{Mason releases the hold and stands up. Cliff pulls himself up as well and charges St. Croix who hits a Powerslam on the 300+ pounder. Mason pounds the mat and leaps to his feet before pulling Cliff up and slinging him into the corner where he follows him in with a clothesline. St. Croix lifts the larger man up onto the top turnbuckle and climbs up with him. He hooks his head and falls back sending Clinton crashing to the mat with a huge Superplex.}

Terri Morasco: The tides have turned now Vasco, the champion looks to be in complete control.

Vasco Dias: He’s certainly showing some impressive strength.

{St. Croix stands over Clinton and demands the referee count and the ref does so 1…2…3…Cliff begins to stir…4…5…He rolls over onto his stomach…6…Clinton pushes himself up onto his knees and Mason, sensing he’s about to stand, fires a few rapid fire kicks to the face that drop Cliff back to the mat. Mason then locks on the Dragon Clutch he calls Reckoning. Cliff drags himself forward and grabs the rope once again.}

Alison Vlance: Cliff Clinton has used his final rope break of the match!

{Mason breaks the hold and pulls Cliff up again before grabbing the back of his head and running him into the cage. Cliff bounces back right into a Ranger’s Way attempt but he’s able to block it by grabbing the rope causing Mason to lose his grip. Clinton turns around and St. Croix hooks him up and spins around before hitting Caught in the Act into the steel cage!}

Terri Morasco: Capture Suplex into the steel cage! Mason St. Croix has become so good at using that cage to his advantage.

Vasco Dias: He did the same thing to Kyle Mason is his last title defense.

{With Clinton on the mat, Mason locks in the Reckoning.}

Terri Morasco: Mason has it! He’s got Cliff locked in The Reckoning and he’s out of rope breaks.

{Cliff grits his teeth in agony as Mason cranks back on his neck. The referee checks and Clinton gives a thumbs up but St. Croix tightens the hold and wrenches back and Cliff’s thumb drops. The referee checks his arm and it drops once. He lifts Cliff’s arm again and it drops, but on the third attempt Clinton begins pumping his fist and the fans cheer wildly. Cliff pulls Mason’s arm from around his neck and slowly stands up with the champion still hanging from his back. He turns around and runs backwards squashing Mason against the steel cage.}

Vasco Dias: Mason’s not the only one who can use the cage.

{Cliff waits on Mason to stand and once he’s up Cliff tries to grab him but Mason pushes him off and begins the St. Croix Combo connecting with the two hooks to the body but Clinton is able to block the elbow that follows and grabs Mason by the arm locking in a Cobra Clutch and hitting The Cliff Dive.}

Terri Morasco: Ouch! It’s looks like St. Croix landed awkwardly on that.

Vasco Dias: He’s gonna feel it tomorrow that’s for sure.

{Clinton keeps the Cobra Clutch locked in and Mason fights it for a few second but after landing on his head is forced to tap out! The bell rings and the cage begins to raise. The referee is handed the title and he gives it to Cliff Clinton while the crowd cheers loudly.}

Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner AND NEW IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPION, CLIFF CLINTON!!!

Terri Morasco: What a match Vasco, these two really left it all in the ring and in the end we have a new Man of Steel Champion in Cliff Clinton.

Vasco Dias: Mason St. Croix has nothing to be ashamed of here tonight, he fought hard.

{A smiling Cliff Clinton makes his way back through the crowd carrying his title.}

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

SEGMENT
"Evening the Odds"

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

{Mason St. Croix sat up holding the back of his neck after just losing the Man of Steel Championship when a chorus of boos erupts from the crowd and Frank and Eddie Black slide into the ring.}

Terri Morasco: No! This man just lost the title he was very proud to hold and now this?

{Frank grabs Mason and pulls him up but Mason begins firing punches at both of the Brother’s Black. Mason hits the ropes and comes back with a double clothesline. He picks Frank up and tosses him over the top rope before turning his attention to Eddie who is back to his feet. Eddie hits a few knife edge chops and Mason drives a knee into his gut. He hooks him up looking for Caught in the Act but Frank slides back in the ring with a chair and slams it across the now former Man of Steel Champion’s back.}

Terri Morasco: Strength in numbers.

Vasco Dias: The steel chair doesn’t help matters either.

{Mason cringes in pain and lets Eddie go. Eddie spins him around and hooks his arms behind his back making him unable to defend himself as Franks blasts him in the head with the chair splitting Mason’s head open. Eddie lets a bloody Mason St. Croix fall lifelessly to the mat and points outside the ring. Frank goes and grabs another chair and slides back into the ring with it. The brothers open the chairs and set them up. Franks climbs up on the top rope while Eddie pulls Mason up and then steps up onto the chairs. Eddie lifts Mason up for a Piledriver.}

Terri Morasco: They’re going to do a Spike Piledriver through two chairs on Mason St. Croix, that will surely end his career!

Vasco Dias: Or worse.

{Before Frank can leap off the top rope the lights in the arena go out and “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace hits drawing a pop from some of the crowd. The music stops and the lights come back on and former IWF Man of Steel Champion Killian Creed is in the ring with a chair of his own.}

Terri Morasco: KILLIAIN CREED! KILLIAN CREED! He’s back in an IWF ring.

{Frank hops down and charges at Killian who swings for the fences and levels Franks. Eddie lets Mason go and quickly rolls to the floor trying to pull Frank out of the ring as Creed swings the chair over the ropes at the two brothers. Eddie drags Frank up the ramp while shouting cuss words at Creed who is now helping Mason up.}

Terri Morasco: Killian is begging The Brother’s Black to get back into the ring.

Vasco Dias: Even numbers isn’t their style.

{The Black’s start to walk through the curtains but stop as Mason’s voice booms over the PA and the shot goes back to the ring where Mason stands next Creed with his face covered in blood and a mic in his hand.}

Mason St. Croix: Hold up you pieces of shit…You’re gonna listen to what I have to say before you tuck your tails and run away. I know you, both of you, I also know Angel and I know how the Age of X works. I also know that the reason we left bodies pilled at our feet for months when I was running with you all was because everyone tried to face us alone. I knew that wouldn’t work, I could hold my own for a while but eventually it’d be too much so I needed to find some help. I’ve screwed over or helped to screw over so many people on this roster that no one in IWF was gonna help me. I had to call a guy that I built respect and a friendship with while we were fighting each other last year. It didn’t take much to convince him either cause these people know just as well as I do, Killian Creed doesn’t need much of a reason to beat someone’s brains out and the someone is gonna be you two bitches.

{Creed holds the ropes open and motions for The Black’s to come back to the ring but Eddie just waves them off and drags his brother through the curtain as the new alliance of Mason St.Croix and Killian Creed stand tall in the ring to a suprising number of cheers from the crowd.}

SINGLES MATCH 

Alex Jones vs Renee Pleasant 

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

Vasco Dias: Well here we are, Alex Jones and Renee Pleasant are going to get in this ring and air out their differences...

Terri Morasco: These two were friends Vasco, good friends....Renee looked at Alex as a wrestling mentor and Alex stood behind Amber and Renee and had their back

Vasco Dias: But things have changed Terri, Alex wants to do things by himself and last week Renee got in Alex's business when it came to Angel and he didn't appreciate it...

{"I smell a massacre" by the butcher babies blasts over the PA system and Renee Pleasant emerges from the back without Amber by his side. Renee makes his way down to the ring shaking out his body looking focused}

Vasco Dias: Renee looks ready to kill Terri....

Terri Morasco: The last time these two faced Alex one because he pulled the trigger on their friendship, he as prepared to go that extra mile and Renee wasn't.

Vasco Dias: I don't see that as a problem this time.....

Terri Morasco: Me neither Vasco but-WATCH OUT RENEE!

{Alex Jones comes from behind Renee as he reaches the ring and slams a steel chair into his back, Renee turns around and gets hit in the stomach then over the head. The crowd boo's as Alex stands over Renee on the outside, Alex takes his shirt off throwing it to the ground before throwing the chair into the ring.}

Terri Morasco: I...I have no idea what to say here.....

Vasco Dias: This match hasn't even started and...I don't think it will....

{Alex grabs Renee by the belt and his hair and runs Renee headfirst into the steel steps. Renee holds his face and tries to get to his feet, Alex grabs Renee and rolls him into the ring, Alex slides in and opens the chair infront of Renee, Renee crawls towards it and tries to pull himself up}

Vasco Dias: Wait...no...ALEX NO

{Alex runs and leaps in the air curb stomping Renee's face into the open chair with a sickening sound. Renee lays on the mat busted open from the shot just above the eye.}

Terri Morasco: I....I'm speechless....

Vasco Dias: Renee could be seriously hurt...oh look.....NO...Amber stay away....

{Amber Richards comes running down the ramp with tears in her eyes, she cradles Renee's head in her lap and looks at Alex}

Amber Richards: WHY?!...WHY YOU SON OF A BITCH?!

{Amber gets up and into Alex's face pushing him back hard before slapping him across the face, the crowd boo's as Ana Valentine slides into the ring after jumping the guardrail, she spins Amber around and hits the leaping complete shot she calls the "in his name" causing Amber to fall face first against the chair, Amber rolls around holding her face, Ana gets to her feet and grins at Alex walking towards him, Ana reaches up and grabs Alex by the hair pulling his face t hers in a passionate kiss}

Vasco Dias:.....wow.....

Terri Morasco: What?......I.....WHAT?

{Alex smiles and grabs a mic as a chorus of continuous boo's reigns down upon them}

Alex Jones: You know Renee, I really didn't want to come to this. But, really there was no choice. See the last year and a half that this company has operated everyone has had the wool pulled over their eyes.....everyone from the guys in the back, to the announcers to each and every fan has been fooled......by me....

{Alex gives an arrogant grin and kneels down next to Renee rubbing his hand over Renee's head staring at the blood}

Alex Jones: Right now, I have Renee's blood on my hands, but you are all fools if you believe he is the only one. See when IWF first opened I knew I was going to go nowhere fast with everyone looking at me like I was a target. So I went about changing minds and hearts, I went about getting guys like Xavier Cross and Rob Diamond on my side. But, I was still able to systematically take out each and every one of my rivals.....

Vasco Dias: What is he talking about Terri?....

Terri Morasco: I have no idea....

Alex Jones: Ana and I used Spike Kane, we used Angel and now where are they?. Spike is gone, Angel is watching his entire empire crumble at his feet, they were considered the worst of the worst but neither of them saw this coming. And then, then your heroes....heroes like...Davey Ortega.....

{Alex lowers the mic with a grin}

Alex Jones: Over the last year everything that Ana has done to destroy my opposition has been at my behest. And all of them fell into her trap and fell for her charms in one way or another.....but you Renee.....

{Alex kneels down again}

Alex Jones: To control you we needed to go a different route.....to control you we needed the one thing you could never have had before....friendship......"an ya fell for it dinya".........

{Alex makes fun of Renee and gets to his feet}

Alex Jones: And the thing is, I don't need to pretend to be a hero like Renee or Ortega, I don't need an Empire or an Age of X like Spike or Angel....I just need myself....and this...beautiful..deadly woman.....

{Alex walks over to Ana and puts his arm around her pulling her close into another kiss before sliding the mic into her hand. Ana steps away slightly and walks around the fallen Amber and Renee with a sneer on her face, before she returns to Alex's side and sighs, shaking her head.}

Ana Valentine: You just couldn't keep your nose out of things could you Amber? I'll admit, of all my toys you were the most challenging to maneuver into the perfect spot - But then, you went and fell for the whole redemption schtick from the blundering mess who put a ring on your finger and went from a challenge.... To a joke.

{Ana steps forward and places her foot over the throat of Amber Richards, pressing down only slightly, just enough to exert control.}

Ana Valentine: And just like all the others, you slipped right into place. Blindly you all yelled in the face of a man you called friend - what was it you said to me Amber, when Angel was done with me i'd be nothing but a crack whore all over again? do you get it yet honey? Are things clearing up for you yet....?

{Ana drops to one knee, moving her foot back from Amber's throat and kneels next to her, getting down close to her face.}

Ana Valentine: What does he have Amber... Nothing, not even the power to punish us for this - oh and whilst were on that note - Verona, Angel is many... Many things, but stupid isn't one of them - thanks for firing him though that was a very welcome surprise outcome to my removal of Miss Reed...

{Ana smirks again, turning her attention back to Amber, dropping her voice to barely above a whisper.}

Ana Valentine: Tell me Amber, do I look broken and destroyed to you? All used up with nothing left? Am I the one drinking myself into delusional oblivion...? No, huh, go figure..

{Ana slowly stands, she turns and faces Alex, her free hand runs slowly down his chest as she tilts her head to the side with a small smile, thinking for a moment before turning her head to address the audience.}

Ana Valentine: Alex Jones is the single greatest force within IWF - he is the only and true Champion that should ever walk the halls of this - excuse the term - godforsaken company and me? The drugged up little rich girl with a drinking problem and daddy issues... Well gee, guess I deserve that academy award now huh?

{Ana starts laughing as Alex steps forward and pulls her into another long passionate kiss as All Rise by Woven War hits the speakers.}

Lumber Jacks: Mason St. Croix, Seth Evans, Cliff Clinton, Kyle Mason, Eddie Black, Frank Black, Judas Alliah and the Sentinel

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

Vasco Dias: Here it is, the rematch we’ve all been waiting for, Mike Laszlo vs Angel for the IWF Imperial Championship one last time.

Terri Morasco: It was only about two weeks ago that Mike Laszlo shocked the world when he made Angel tap out in the center of the ring to become the IWF Imperial Champion. A lot of the boys in the back think it was a fluke, it’ll be up to Mike tonight to prove them wrong.

Vasco Dias: With the ring surrounded by Angel’s worst enemies and closest allies, this is probably the closest to a fair fight Mike is ever going to get.


{ The somber tones of "Sail" by DevilDriver hit the PA as the arena is plunged back into darkness. An "X" burning in black and white tones is displayed on the screen as a lone spot light appears on the stage just as the song starts to kick into gear, Angel stands there with his back to the crowd, his arms out in the mock Christ pose, The Brothers Black stand with arms folded to either side. Angel turns to face the crowd and they erupt into a chorus of boos as he sneers and heads to the ring in step with the song, The Brothers following. Angel walks up the steps and quickly climbs up the ropes on the outside, he throws out his arms and tosses his coat to the side as he stands on the top rope, arms out stretched and the arena is blinded in light. Angel jumps down and waits for the match to start as the music comes to a stop. The Brothers circle the outside of the ring like wolves. }

Vasco Dias: The former champion doesn’t look happy.

Terri Morasco: How can he be after his historic reign came to a crashing end. He’s the longest reigning Imperial Champion with the most successful title defenses of any champion in the history of the company, he’s literally beaten every one at least once, how could he be happy to not have that title belt?

Vasco Dias: I imagine he views being without the gold as an insult. You can see the sneers he’s giving to the men around the ring, even his allies are getting cold glares.

Terri Morasco: Don’t get in his way.

{ "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, slapping hands with some fans along the isle who outstretch their hands, Alexis by his side holding his other hand. The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike lifts Alexis onto the apron. She enters the ring as Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of cheers. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction. With a smile on his face he jumps down and backs into the corner, clasping his hands together and twirling his wrists as he gets ready for the match. }

Vasco Dias: The fans are damn happy to see their champion tonight!

Terri Morasco: He’s a man of the people despite what he personally thinks.

Vasco Dias: He’s a true everyman, he rose from nothing to conquer God!

Terri Morasco: But can he do it a second time?

Alison Valance: The following contest is schedule for one fall and will be contested under Lumber Jack Rules! It is for the IWF IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! The Challenger to my… ANGEL!!!! And the Champion to my right… MIKE LASZLO!!!!

{ The bell sounds and neither man waits for the other as they explode out of their corners and start to exchange right hands in the center of the ring. }

Vasco Dias: And their off!

{ The fists are flying and neither man is gaining any ground, a small gash is opened over the eye of Angel as Laszlo just wails away on him. }

Vasco Dias: These men are going to war.

Terri Morasco: Did you expect any less?

{ Laszlo blocks a punch and leaps into the air out of nowhere and rips Angel down to the mat with a ddt and quickly rolls him over for a cover. ONE! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Beautiful ddt!

{ Laszlo is right up and ducks a clothes line from Angel as he stands and catches him with a swinging reverse neck breaker. Laszlo rolls right to his feet and catches Angel a she stands with a running knee and irish whips him into the corner. Laszlo runs in with a big clothes line and then pulls him out for NO MERCY! Laszlo covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }

Vasco Dias: Laszlo didn’t hook the leg, that might of made the difference.

Terri Morasco: He’s really stunned Angel here in the opening minutes.

Vasco Dias: This is playing out like all their other encounters, you have to wonder if Angel has any tricks up his sleeve.

{ Laszlo pulls him to his feet and connects with several knees before hitting a snap suplex. Laszlo is right up and climbs to the top rope but Frank leaps onto the apron and pushes Laszlo off! LASZLO CRASHES TO THE ARENA FLOOR! }

Vasco Dias: CRASH AND BURN!

{ Eddie and Judas are right on him with hard stomps as Angel recoups in the ring. Mason, Kyle, Seth and Cliff run over and push the men off of Laszlo as he climbs back up onto the apron. Angel comes off the ropes with a hard clothes line as Laszlo stands on the apron and then fires off the Genecide kick! }

Vasco Dias: GENECIDE KICK!

{ Laszlo staggers on the apron as Angel climbs to the top rope, Angel leaps off the top and hits a blockbuster on Laszlo on the apron!!! }

Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!!! The apron is the hardest part of the ring, it’s all steel out there.

Terri Morasco: And Angel is using it to his advantage.

{ Angel rolls off and turns right into a vicious clothes line from Kyle Mason. Croix pulls him up and throws him hard into the ring barriers. Eddie and Frank come to fight them off but Cliff drops them both. Mason and Kyle are unloading on Angel as Seth watches, not wanting to interfere in the match, despite the rules. }

Vasco Dias: Angel’s momentum is being brought to an abrupt halt.

Terri Morasco: He needs to get back in the ring.

{ Laszlo is on his feet and runs across the ring as Kyle and Mason pull Angel to his feet, Laszlo flies through the ropes and crashes right into Angel and sends him hard against the ring barriers! }

Vasco Dias: Laszlo is pulling out all the stops!

{ Laszlo is up and grabs Angel by the hair and runs him right into the ring post as all eight lumber jacks converge. Laszlo rolls Angel in and follows and covers him. ONE! KICK OUT! }

Terri Morasco: He’s wearing Angel down and just needs to put him away.

Vasco Dias: He’s trying.

{ Laszlo pulls him to his feet and sends him into the ropes, he follows him and looks for a clothes line but Angel drops the shoulder and sends him out to the apron. Laszlo lands on his feet and Angel turns into a hard elbow to the side of the mouth. Laszlo bends Angel over and pulls him through the ropes, Angel’s feet dangling on the ropes as Laszlo leans over the apron and hits the EXECUTIONER TO THE OUTSIDE!!!! }

Vasco Dias: OH MY GOD!

Terri Morasco: Laszlo just pulled Angel through the ropes and drilled him with the Executioner!

Vasco Dias: That was awesome.

{ Laszlo is up and slaps hands with the fans as Eddie rounds the bend and crashes into him with a clothes line. Frank and Judas are right there but Cliff, Croix and Mason are there as well. The Sentinel moves to grab a chair but Seth is there to rip it away from him. The Sentinel fires off a shot but Seth gets under him and then crashes the chair over the top of his head! }

Vasco Dias: Seth getting involved only to keep things fair.
