IWF presents Lineage Live from the Lucas Oil Stadium The time has finally arrived to crown and King and Queen of the Imperial Wrestling Federation as our Heir and Heiress to the Throne tournaments come to their exciting conclusions. Jessica Reed, Alysson Gardner, Kathleen Conway and Eternity battle to be our first Diamond's champion as Lex Sense, Joe Everyman, Cable Arcane and Mike Laszlo must overcome huge odds to become the first ever Imperial champion. Elsewhere, Xander Famularo and Xavier Cross do battle as they look to end their bloody feud for the Heavyweight Championship whilst Bushido and Brad Kane fight for the Cruiserweight belt in what may truly be the last time we ever see Brad inside a ring. Ryan Blade also defends his belt against Andrew Jacobsen as Mike Machado and Jake Keeton battle to determine who will be the number one contender to the Cruiserweight title. Also, we have a match that promises to be brutal, InFamous must defend their belts against Criminal Intent in a Prison Yard match. Terri Morasco: Welcome everybody to IWF Lineage, what an absolutely massive night we have ahead of us, I can barely contain myself as the excitement will be off the rails! Vasco Dias: And again, not Trent Helms, this is just the best week every. Great matches and finally some decent company. Terri Morasco: Awww, thanks Vasco. Vasco Dias: I meant you have great company. Terri Morasco:... lets just get on with the show. ----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT "All is not well..."
---------------------------------------------------------- {The cameras go backstage where we see Tara and Jennie walking down the hallway. Tara is a couple of steps ahead of her sister and at first, she is walking boldly... a few more steps in, she begins to slow down as her eyes land on her destination. Panning around so that the audience may see where she's at; The Head of the Cruiserweight Division: Angel. The fire that she was filled with while walking down the hall seemed to have gotten immediately extinguished as she is now frozen in place... Jennie steps up right behind her and puts her hand on her shoulder.}Jennie: Tara, you can do this. You wanted to. Tara: I... {She can't seem to continue speaking and her gaze focuses on just the name, Angel, while she shakes her head. With her hand still on Tara's shoulder, Jennie circles to the front of Tara and looks her directly in the eyes seeing the tears starting to build up... she sighs.}Jennie: It can wait. {Tara shakes her head again, and tries to muster the strength to walk to the door but to no avail. Tara presses her hand against the wall to support herself.}Tara: I can't. {The sisters continue down the hallway as Tara looks at the door of the office as the camera pans in on the name one last time before going back out to the arena.}----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH IWF RUBY CHAMPIONSHIP THREE WAY MATCH Tara Fenix (c) vs Ashely Mastrangelo vs Amber Richards
---------------------------------------------------------- {The opener of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey plays throughout the arena causing fans to stand to their feet and cheer. As the song begins with “Just a small town girl…” Ashley walks out to the stage and the crowd gives her a warm reaction. She scours the crowd from left to right with her hand over her eyes like the brim of a hat. As the song continues, and the crowd begins singing along with the popular hit, she’s announced to the crowd.Alison Valance: Introducing first, ASHLEY MASTRANGELOOOOO! As the crowd continues to sing-along Ashley makes her way to the ring, and up the steps. She jumps onto the near turnbuckle and poses for the crowd who give her another great reaction. She then jumps down and does a quick hair setting with her hands as she waits for the match to begin.}{"Bones" slowly fades in, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out, her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring and she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out}Alison Valance: Introducing next, AMBER RICHARDS! {The introduction of "Not Invincible" by Bullet For My Valentine begins to play over the audio system as the crowd releases a loud cheer for the Ruby Champion --- all of the lights flicker out, being replaced with a blue spotlight shining down at the center of the stage... there's a faint red glow hidden within the blue spotlight, matching the color of a ruby. With no further delay, Tara emerges from behind the curtains in her usual attire but is wearing the Ruby Championship around her waist. She has her arms at her hips to display her belt proudly. Standing under the spotlight she reaches her hand behind her back and unhooks the championship from around her waist then hoists it high, taking a short bounce step toward the ramp and starting to make her way down.Alison Valance: And making her way to the ring she is the IWF Ruby Champion...TARA FENIX! "They crawl under your skin! And eat away your soul... So let the feast begin! And then bury the bones!
It seems they want to be the- Judge, jury, and executioner! So let the feast begin... We'll never leave you alone!"
Many of the fans are bowing down to her as she drapes the championship over her shoulder and she nods her head to a couple of them before returning the kindness to them. The smile can't be hidden from her face; she continues down the ramp and finally reaches the end of it. She wastes no time to get to the steel steps and glides her fingertips across the top rope while walking toward the middle of the apron --- she secures the Ruby Championship over her shoulder and hooks her free arm around the top rope as she looks out at many of the fans that are still chanting and screaming her name, and still bowing down to her. She steps between the top and middle ropes and sprints across the ring, leaping at the second rope and using her free arm to balance herself while her other arm grabs the Ruby Championship and she holds it high over her head, again. Soaking in every cheer from the audience, she spreads her arms out and closes her eyes while tilting her head back. Keeping her eyes closed, she lowers one arm to her side while retracting the other back to her center and she loses one sleeve to her jacket, switches the title to her other hand, and loses the other sleeve to let the trench coat fall to the mat. She springs off the middle rope and lands back in the middle of the ring with the belt still held... She finally hands the belt out to the time keeper along with her trench coat, and turns to face the center of the ring while waiting for the match to start.}{The bell rings and the three ladies circle around each other, Amber and Ashley quickly attack the champion. Tara moves back into a corner trying to protect herself from the onslaught. Amber moves in grabbing the top rope laying in stiff roundhouse kicks to Tara. Ashley then comes in stomping Tara down, Ashley turns to celebrate the damage she’s inflicted on the champion, but as she turns around she eats a stiff elbow from Amber, Ashley drops to her back and as she sits up Amber nails in a low stiff kick to Ashley’s back}
Vasco Dias: Ashley doing some early showboating and she paid for it. Terri Morasco: Inexperience is often the price of youth... {Amber turns to see Tara, the crowd pops as the two move around one another, but before they can lock up Ashley gets back to her feet and hits a dropkick to Ambers back sending her from the ring to the floor below. Tara and Ashley lock up, Tara grabs Ashleys wrist and spins under locking her in a top wristlock, Ashley drops to one knee and rolls forward before kipping up, she reverses the pressure and locks Tara in the same hold, Tara looks shocked at Ashleys skill}{Ashley gets pulled forward by Tara into a hard right hand, she then drops down and throws Ashley up and over her back before locking in an armbar, Amber comes in from behind and dropkick’s Tara in the back of the head sending her down, as Ashley gets up Amber goes for a roundhouse, Ashley catches Amber’s leg and snaps her down in a dragon screw before keeping hold of the same leg she locks in a figure four. }
Vasco Dias: A time tested submission hold being applied here and it could be a very early night for Ashley! Terri Morasco: Not if the Champion has anything to say about it, look at Tara climb! {Amber tries to get Ashley off her, Tara comes out nowhere with a frog splash onto Ashley breaking the figure four, Tara pulls Ashley to her feet and hits the siren!(sliced bread number 2) she goes for the pin 1…2…Amber breaks up the pin, she stomps on Tara and then shakes her leg out in a little bit of pain after the figure four. Amber pulls Tara up and grabs her arm getting her into position for a Russian leg sweep, Ashley gets up and walks into Tara who grabs Ashley as Amber whips her back, this causes Amber to sweep Tara while Tara pulls Ashley into a flatliner!}
Terri Morasco: All three women are trying to end it early here! Vasco Dias: The pace of this match in the early going has been amazing... {Amber gets to her feet and calls for Tara to get up, Tara gets to her feet using the ropes and Amber comes running in, Tara ducks and goes to backdrop Amber over the top rope, Amber grabs the top rope and lands on her feet on the apron, Tara turns around and eats an elbow from Amber, Tara staggers back into a school….girl from Ashley 1….2…..Amber breaks up the count. Ashley gets to her feet after the attempted three count and gets hit with a superkick from Amber}{Tara runs to the ropes and springboards off the second rope grabbing Ambers head into a fallen phoenix (codebreaker) Amber springs back and falls to the ground, Tara goes for the pin 1….2….Ashley breaks the count and pulls Tara to her feet by her hair, she gives Tara the kiss of death before going for the not interested!(reverse dvd into cutter), as she throws Tara up she lands on her feet, Tara goes for a clothesline but Ashley ducks and then hits a superick sending Tara down}Vasco Dias: That kick may have cracked her jaw! Terri Morasco: Something tells me Tara is much more used to being on the orher end of that particular move!
{As Ashley looks at Tara Amber gets to her feet and comes flying in with a low stiff kick to Ashleys leg then a higher stiff shot to her chest sending her down, Amber moves around Ashley and as Ash gets up Amber sprints in with a spear taking her down, Amber spins on her knee and turns running at Tara going for a yakuza kick, Tara ducks out of the way and kicks Amber in the stomach before hitting a Phoenix wings!, Amber seems to be out, Tara pins 1….2….Ash just stops the pin. Tara slams her fist on the ground}Terri Morasco: Oh so close! Vasco Dias: Ashley saves her own chances as this match continues but it doesn't seem Tara is too happy, she almost had the match won! {Tara grabs Ashley by the hair and whips her around before stomping her down with boots and then elbows in a rage. Tara climbs to the top rope and calls for the heavens fury(flying bulldog) but before she can leap off Ashley gets to her feet and kicks the top rope causing Tara to fall onto the turnbuckle, Ashley climbs up and goes to superplex Tara, but as they stand there Amber gets to her feet and powerbombs Ashley causing Tara to come off the top rope in the superplex and crash to the mat, all three women are down as the crowd explodes with “this is awesome” chants.}
Vasco Dias: Listen to that crowd show their appreciation for this match! Terri Morasco: I can't say I disagree with them, this is awesome! {All three ladies start to stir, Tara gets to her feet and clotheslines Ashley down, Ashley gets to her feet and gets clotheslined again, Tara catches a right from Ashley and kicks her in the stomach hitting the phoenix wings!(double arm tornado ddt) Tara tries to go for the pin but Amber comes from behind and hits the bloody murder(lightening spiral) She shoves Tara out of the ring and covers Ashley 1….2…..3 } Vasco Dias: NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION!
Terri Morasco: Amber has done it! She beat some game competition and pinned the woman she decided to share this opportunity with to boot! The Ruby red reign of the Blood Diamond has begun![/font] ----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH IWF CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP Jake Keeton vs Mike Machado
----------------------------------------------------------Alison Valance: The following contest is set for one fall and will determine the #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Championship. Introducing first from Lexington, KY… JAKE KEETON!!!
{ The lights dim, a hush fills the arena and a mixed reaction of mostly boos billows from the crowd as "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils hits the PA. Jake Keeton slowly emerges through the curtains with his full attention focused on the upcoming match. He walks down the ramp barely acknowledging the fans. }
Vasco Dias: Well there’s your man, Terri.
Terri Morasco: He’s not my man, and I’d like to begin by apologizing to Mr. Keeton and his lovely wife for my comments last week. They were way out of line, I don’t know what I was thinking.
{ Keeton steps in the ring and stares down the isle towards the curtains. His glare intensifies as the opening guitar riffs to “Mustache Man” by Cake blare over the PA system, leading into an explosion of pyrotechnics. "Mediocre" Mike Machado stumbles through the smoke that is remaining, fanning his face and gasping for oxygen. The fans give him a mixed but generally positive response; a mixture of pitied cheers and genuinely appreciative roars. A feint chant of "Me-di-ocre - clap clap clapclapclap” starts up as Machado walks towards the ring. }
Alison Valance: And his opponent, currently making his way towards the ring hailing from Orlando, FL… MIKE MACHADO!!!
{ As soon as Machado is close enough to the ring Keeton hits the ropes on the opposite side and on the rebound flies over the top rope with a suicide dive that levels an unsuspecting Mike Machado. Jake stands, grabs Mike and rolls him into the ring before shouting, “RING THE DAMN BELL!”}
Vasco Dias: Jake Keeton wasting no time here and wants to end this two month long rivalry he’s built with Mike Machado as soon as possible.
Terri Morasco: Let’s not forget the winner will get the next shot at the Cruiserweight Championship.
{ The bell rings and Keeton slides into the ring himself and immediately starts laying the boots to Machado who was attempting to stand. Keeton stomps Mike back down and drops an elbow for good measure. He rolls over and applies a grounded choke and throws a few knees that connect with the top of the head of his opponent. Mike tries to cover up to protect himself but Keeton is relentless and just keeps slamming his knee now into the forearms of Machado who is finally able to grab Keeton’s leg and roll him over on his back breaking the choke. Mike looks stunned he was able to pull off the very basic amateur maneuver to catch Jake off guard but he doesn’t hesitate and begins firing right and left hands into the face of his tormentor who’s chest he is now sitting on in full mount.}
Terri Morasco: Wow! Machado has a fire in him we haven’t seen much of.
Vasco Dias: He’ll do something to screw it up he always does.
{ Jake rolls to his stomach to avoid the unlikely onslaught of punches from Machado. Mike hooks in a Sleeper Hold and Jake tries to fight it, eventually standing up with Mike still on his back. Keeton flails his arms trying to break the Sleeper before getting his bearings about him and just running backwards crushing the air out of Machado against the turnbuckles and forcing him to break the hold. Machado slumps in the corner and Keeton walks to the other corner before charging forward before leaping and hanging in the air to nail a beautiful Hesitation Drop Kick. }
Terri Morasco: That’s a thing of beauty; it’s almost as if he defies gravity for a split second.
Vasco Dias: The last time he hit that move on Mike Machado, Machado had a stupid mask covering his eyes and was defenseless at least this time he was able to get his arms up to at least partially absorb some of the blow.
{ Jake does a backwards roll and gets to his feet after the drop kick and pulls Mike to his feet. He hooks him and tosses him almost to the opposite corner with an Over Head Belly to Belly Suplex. Somehow Machado is back up almost instantly but is on wobbly legs as Keeton spins and drops him with a Discus Punch. Again Machado won’t stay down and Keeton looks bewildered as he steps out onto the apron waiting for his prone opponent to turn around. As soon as Mike does turn around Jake leaps up springboards of the top rope and flips into a Dragonrana hooking both legs. The high risk move draws some cheers as the referee drops down and counts 1…2… MACHADO KICKS OUT! Keeton can’t believe it and slaps the mat in frustration. He stands up an argues with the ref slapping his hands together to say it was three which causes the cheers he got for the move to turn right back to booing.}
Vasco Dias: Keeton wasting time here arguing with the ref, he’s a veteran and knows better than that.
{ Machado is back to his feet and Jake turns around charges at him. Mike attempts an Arm-Dragon but Keeton had it scouted well and blocks it firing a shot into the gut of Machado before hitting a Sitout Hiptoss. Keeton quickly back to his feet and brings Mike up with him and Keeton begins to berate Machado verbally and then starts to slap him disrespectfully. Suddenly Machado begins to shake in anger and slaps Keeton back with all he has and the fans pops loudly. Mike even hits himself in the head and screams in the face of a stunned Jake Keeton to “BRING IT ON!” Keeton charges and is met with a kick to the gut followed by a Handle-Bar Mustache DDT }
Terri Morasco: Mike Machado has had enough; we’ve never seen this kind of fire from him.
{ Machado stands and begin stomping away at Keeton the same way Keeton did to begin the match. He goes to the top rope rope and looks out at the crowd before diving off the a huge ovation with The Mustache Ride!}
Vasco Dias: He looks possessed.
{ Machado pops back up instantly. Jake is back to his feet again but much slower and again Mike urges him to fight him. A groggy Keeton has had enough and pats his elbow pad and attempts The Jaw Jacker with that loaded elbow pad but the ref grabs his arm in mid rotation. The referee examines the elbow pad and orders Keeton to remove it. He protests at first but then he does only to turn around as soon as he removes it and get hit with the Arm-Dragon from Machado. Mike immediately follows that up with his patented Might of Mediocrity.)
Vasco Dias: This is it! No this can’t be happening.
{Sure enough the referee drops down and counts 1…2…3!!!}
Alison Valance: Ladies and Gentlemen your winner and the new #1 Contender to the Imperial Wrestling Cruiserweight Championship, MIKE MACHDADO!
Terri Morasco: I can’t believe it.
Vasco Dias: Neither can Mike Machado, but he’s done it.
Terri Morasco: This has to be the biggest win of his career.
{A victorious Mike Machado rolls out to the floor to the delight of the crowd while Jake Keeton just sits in the ring absolutely stunned by what has just happened.} ---------------------------------------------------------- MATCHHEIRESS TO THE THRONE SEMI FINAL SINGLES MATCH Kathleen Conway w/ The Ace vs Eternity ---------------------------------------------------------- { The lights in the arena go down to a blue hue and purple smoke begins to fill the entrance way as the banging drums of "Apex Predator" by Otep resound throughout the arena, the sirens and the lyrics introduce Eternity to the audience and as the adults boo, the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she walks down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. This gesture seems to trigger a change in the lights as they are now raised and she continues her journey down the ramp, carrying her hat in her right hand accompanied by the chorus. }
Alison Valance: The following is scheduled for one fall and is a Heiress To The Throne Semi-Final Contest, introducing first...from The Other Side...ETERRRNNNNITTTY!
{ She slides under the bottom rope into the ring an when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a slight skip and then the splits where she ends her entrance by putting her hat back on her head and tilting it slightly forward so it obscures her face. }
Terri Morasco: Here we go, with our first Semi Final Match for the Heiress to the Throne, the winner here will go on to face the winner of the other semi final match later tonight between Alysson Gardner and Jessica Reed.
Vasco Dias: Now I like both women here as they tend to employ a very technical style of wrestling in that ring but I don't know how wise it is for young Eternity to be playing mind games with the much more experienced Kathleen Conway here tonight. In my eyes she's made it far too personal...
Terri Morasco: I have to agree Dias, abducting Kathy's sister was entirely unnecessary, but obviously Eternity felt she needs to make more of a statement, not only to Kathy but to the IWF Diamonds Division as a whole.
{ The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip and her husband, The Ace by her side. He seems to be advising her, calming her down as she stares at Eternity in the ring. She begins her walk down the ramp, alongside her husband, Kathy yells something at Eternity who seems to just giggle. }
Alison Valance: And her opponent, making her way to the ring, accompanied by The Ace, from Wichita, Kansas, she is The Queen Of Diamonds...KATHLEEEEEEEEENNN CONWAAAAAAAAYYYY!
{ At the foot of the ramp the couple part ways and The Ace makes his way to the announce position whilst Kathy gets to the ring and slides in, under the bottom rope, she pounces on Eternity taking her down and delivering stiff shots to the side of Eternity's face as the bell is rung to officially start the contest. The Ace sits down next to Dias, putting on a headset. }
Terri Morasco: And here we go! Kathy is coming out with some real fire here tonight, wasting no time taking the fight straight to Eternity...
Vasco Dias: And it looks like we're going to be joined by a real legend of professional wrestling, The Ace...welcome sir! It's a real pleasure to have a bonafide NCW Hall of Famer here tonight, I love your work in the ring, but I love your jacket more...where do I get one?
The Ace: Thank you Dias, it's a real pleasure to be here, the jacket is custom made...
Terri Morasco: We saw you having words with your wife as she came out here, last minute advice?
{ Kathy is hammering Eternity in the face relentlessly, and is only after some of the referee's admonishing for the use of closed fists that Kathy gets off Eternity, choosing instead to back up a few steps and deliver a stiff superior football style kick to Eternity's ribs, rolling her over on her stomach. Kathy then grabs Eternity's left arm and stretches it out on the canvas before, delivering three vicious knee drops to her extended arm in quick succession. Seizing her advantage whilst she has it, Kathy Conway takes a page out of her husband's playbook and locks in a Fujiwara armbar, almost roaring as she does so. }
The Ace: Something like that, she can be a right little spitfire sometimes and I was telling her not to be too distracted and lose sight of her ultimate goal here tonight...
Vasco Dias: Sound advice, especially considering that ultimately there's much more at stake here than simply her sister's safe return...at least in a professional sense...
Terri Morasco: Of course there is, a win for either of these women here guarantees them a place in the finals and puts them one step closer to making history and becoming the first Diamond's champion.
{ The referee is on her knees asking Eternity if she wants to give it up. Eternity resolutely shakes her head, looking up at Kathy, she arches her head back in the hold and when Kathy looks down at her, Kathy is confident that her opponent has nowhere to go being in the centre of the ring. Eternity spits some purple mist right in Kathy's eyes, essentially blinding her as she is forced to relinquish the hold. Kathy rolls around on the canvas, trying to wipe the mist from her eyes. As Eternity uses the time to recover, the referee checks on Kathy. }
The Ace: What the hell was that?
Vasco Dias: Not fair is what that was!
Terri Morasco: You never quite know what a woman like Eternity will do to get ahead, either inside of that ring or out of it and that unpredictability makes ever even more dangerous and harder to combat...
{ Eternity rises to her feet, shaking some feeling back into her left arm. Kathy also gets to her feet and stumbles rather blindly, as Eternity walks over to the ropes. Kathy runs in Eternity's general direction, and as she runs Eternity catches her and back body drops Conway over the top rope using her momentum against her with her good right arm. Kathy tumbles out of the ring, once again providing Eternity some reprieve. This is when The Ace takes off his headset and goes to check on his wife. He grabs Dias' water bottle from ringside and goes over to his wife as the referee begins the count... 1...2...3...4... }
Terri Morasco: Kathy could be counted out here!
Vasco Dias: Not if her husband has anything to say about it...
{ The Ace then kneels down besides his wife, holding her head up and splashing some water from the bottle on her face to help her rinse out the mist from her eyes.
5...6...
The Ace asks his wife if she is okay, and she nods. The Ace then looks up at Eternity who waves at him before blowing him a kiss and giggling...
7...
Seeing this only motivates Kathy to get to her feet even quicker, and she slides back into the ring. Eternity then grabs Kathy by a handful of her blonde hair, dragging her to her feet and kicking her in the gut as the referee does her best to warn Eternity about the hair pulling, Eternity just glares at the official with Kathy hunched over and not taking her eyes off the official, Eternity delivers a lightning quick snap suplex to her opponent. The referee seems slightly unnerved by Eternity's creepy glare and this only amuses her. Eternity then walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs it, going uncharacteristically high risk. Eternity perches herself on the top rope and waits for Kathy to find her feet. Eternity then leaps off looking to strike Kathy in the face with a flying clothesline, but Kathy manages to catch Eternity as she comes flying across the ring and Kathy walks forward a couple of steps before looking to nail her with a fall away slam. }
Vasco Dias: Caught!
Terri Morasco: Great ring presence by Kathy but can she capitalise?
{ No sooner has Terri asked this question than she gets her answer as Eternity shifts her body weight and uses her slight weight advantage to fall on top of Kathy in a makeshift body splash, but rather than follow through on a pin attempt, Eternity rolls through the move, scooping Kathy up into a fall away slam position of her own. Eternity then drops to one knee and drives Kathy's ribs into her bended knee in a rib breaker. She maintains the hold on her opponent as she gets back to both feet and then completes a fall away slam of her own by throwing Kathy over her head. }
Vasco Dias: Oh my! What strength!
Terri Morasco: An impressive display of power there.
{ The Ace makes his way back to the announce table to rejoin Dias and Morasco. Eternity snaps her head over her shoulder with a sick smile and she walks over to a prone Kathy on the floor, she cocks her head to the side and eyes her curiously as she bends over a fallen Kathy. Kathy reaches up and grabs Eternity rolling her up into a small package... }
Vasco Dias: Kathy was playing possum!
Terri Morasco: Quick as a Kat!
The Ace: Yes! Come on baby!
{ 1...2...Eternity kicks out! }
The Ace: Don't get frustrated Kat, stay on her!
Terri Morasco: Kathy was so close to earning her way to the finals there!
Vasco Dias: I guess Eternity's not the only one capable of playing a little psychological warfare here tonight as the cunning and resourceful Conway shows her opponent that she can end it just that quickly.
{ Eternity gets to her feet and applauds Kathy's efforts, as she skips to the centre of the ring to meet Kathy, Kathy charges at her after bouncing off the ropes and Eternity catches her with the Tears of Sorrow (Side Effect). Eternity then sits up before getting to her feet and seeing that Kathy is down, she laughs. Eternity then gets down on all fours and meows, clearly mocking Kathy and she rolls her onto her stomach before attempting to lock in her signature Deliverance submission hold. Eternity rolls onto her back with Kathy and completes the surfboard stretch part of her hold, but the experienced Kathy shows her edge as she manages to shift her weight slightly, so that Eternity's shoulders are pinned to the mat. The referee falls down to count the pinfall attempt. 1...2...Eternity is forced to break the hold and release Kathy! }
Vasco Dias: How smart was that, Eternity almost pinned herself.
Terri Morasco: Kathy may have never held a singles title in her career but she's still a very experienced competitor in that ring....
The Ace: It's moves like that that remind me why I have never counted my baby out of any of her matches....
{ Both women are down and seem to take a moment to regain their composure as the crowd begin a 'THIS IS AWESOME!' chant for the efforts of these two semi finalists. Eternity is slowly to her feet first followed closely by Kathy. The two women meet in the middle of the ring where Kathy arrogantly slaps Eternity across the face before kicking her in the gut and planting her into the canvas with a scoop slam. Kathy then runs across the ring, rebounding off the ropes and kicking Eternity in the face with her Puss In Boots kick as she rises. Eternity goes down, and then after a few moments rises again, spinning around and getting to her feet. Kathy looks a little spooked as Eternity locks eyes with her. Kathy runs at Eternity and once again her momentum is countered with Eternity's sheer strength and power as Eternity catches her with a sidewalk slam. Eternity gets to her feet and pulls Kathy to hers, twisting her arm, as the crowd responds with boos. Eternity walks over to the corner with Kathy looking to walk the rope and strike her with the Burning Angel but Kathy's experience once again shows as she counters the move by pulling Eternity off the rope and causing her to fall to the mat. }
Vasco Dias: Another great counter by Kathy Conway here, you can really tell she wants it here tonight!
Terri Morasco: For Kathy, tonight is a night of professional redemption...
The Ace: My wife wants to show the world that she's not just a great mother but also a great wrestler...something not enough people give her credit for...but I give her all the credit in the world. I always have...
Terri Morasco: You really love her don't you?
Vasco Dias: A lot of people like to speculate what would happen if you two ever split up...
The Ace: Not going to happen Dias, we still look at each other as if we were teenagers and if that upsets some people, then so be it...
Vasco Dias: In an age when divorce is so popular, what is your secret to staying together...
The Ace: Admitting I'm wrong on the very rare occasions that I am.
{ Eternity gets to her feet and finds that Kathy is waiting for her as she hops on Eternity's shoulders and looks to nail her with a hurracurana, Kathy hits it and then keeps the legs hooked for the pin attempt...1...2...Eternity counters the pin by rolling through with a pin of her own...1...2....Kathy barely kicks out. }
Vasco Dias: Near fall after near fall....how much more can these women possibly have to give here tonight?
Terri Morasco: Both of these women know what's at stake, but something has to give...
The Ace: It won't be my wife, Terri!
{ As the two women separate from each other and find their feet, both women nod at each other what appears to be a begrudging show of respect for each other's efforts and they circle each other cautiously, like two predators. The two women lock up in the centre of the ring and this time Kathy gains the advantage. Kathy whips Eternity across the ring, and on the rebound catches her with a quick release German Suplex that sends Eternity halfway across the ring. Kathy throws her arms out and mockingly skips as Eternity goes down. Kathy then pulls Eternity to her feet again and walks her to the middle of the ring where Kathy kicks her in the gut and drives her face first into the mat with her signature Kat Kall. }
Terri Morasco: Oh my! What a move!
Vasco Dias: Kathy may be going for the kill here!
The Ace: Come on Kat! You got this, baby!
{ Kathy then stalks Eternity like a jungle cat, waiting to pounce as a woozy Eternity stumbles to her feet and right into the waiting embrace of her opponent, who puts her to sleep and out of the tournament with a Kat Nap....1...2...3... }
Terri Morasco: Kathy did it! She moves one step closer to her redemption!
{ "Black and Silver hits as The Ace rushes in the ring to embrace his wife and celebrate her first big win of the night. }

MATCH HEIR TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Mike Laszlo vs Lex Sense
---------------------------------------------------------- Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Semi-Final match in the Heir To The Throne tournament! Terri Morasco: This one should be good. Vasco Dias: Indeed. The whole night has been good to this point, especially without that spot-monkey simpleton. Terri Morasco: On any note, these two have history, and tonight, we write another page of it. {"Cult of Personality" by Living Color hits the sound system as Mike Laszlo walks out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a negative reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who boo, a smirk comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a slow confident walk, ignoring the fans along the isle who want to slap his hand, Alexis by his side.}Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, accompanied by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds, MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO! {Mike slides into the ring under the bottom rope before posing for the crowd who give him another negative reaction, as Alexis ascends the stairs and enters the ring. Backing into the corner Mike clasps his hands and loosens his wrists waiting for the start of the match.}Terri Morasco: The people are sure letting Mike know what they think of his new attitude. Vasco Dias: I kind of like it. It gives him a bit of a mean streak. Terri Morasco: He has a big, both figurative and literal, challenge in front of him tonight. {The haunting strum of an acoustic guitar ushers in Mark Collie's, "In Time" as the ring is illuminated with a black light.}"I can tell what you're thinking, All your doubts and fears. And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find The reason I'm here." {The final words echo into the ether and the song transitions into the organs that intro "Destroy the World Around Me", by Mushroomhead. A wave of fog has begun to blanket the stage, traversing towards the crowd and ring. An audience stands still in anticipation, some frightened others enthralled. A hooded Sense raises up from underneath the stage, staring out into a raucous audience that love to hate the man with no fear. Once risen, Sense removes the hood and then raises his arms into the air as pillars of fire explode one after the other across the stage. Sense steps through the flames as the harsh drums, guitars and vocals blare throughout the arena. He stomps his way down the ramp to the beat of the drums, tearing off his sleeveless jean jacket and hood along the way. Sense stalks around the corner of the ring before grabbing the top rope and pulling himself up and over and into the squared circle, releasing a primal scream that brings the fans into a near riot.}Alison Valance: From West Yorkshire, England weighing 350 pounds, LEX SENSSSSE! Terri Morasco: That is one mammoth of a man and he’s been on one hell of a roll. Vasco Dias: Indeed he has. Many have him as the odds on favorite. {The two men stare one another down as the referee checks them for illegal objects. The bell rings and the match begins. Lex stalks to the center of the ring as Mike looks on. Lex stops and drags his foot across the canvas indicating “the line” Mike must cross. Laszlo looks down at the mat then up at the big man with a grin. Pointing down to the ring you can read his lips. “YOU WANT ME TO CROSS THAT!?” Lex simply nods.}Terri Morasco: Lex daring the smaller man to cross the line. Vasco Dias: He seems to be toying with his opponent, daring him to cross like that. {Laszlo shrugs his shoulders and charges in at the big man who seems taken a little off guard by a Flying Forearm shot that knocks him back a little bit. Mike continues with the forearm shots as Lex backs into the corner and covers up. Laszlo seeing he may have the upper hand, takes a few steps back and charges in again looking to score the Running Knee in the Corner, but is caught in mid-air by the monster and simply slammed down on his back. Laszlo writhes in pain as Lex shakes of the shots that started the match.}Vasco Dias: Absolute power by Lex Sense. Terri Morasco: He took may have weathered a little bit of a squall there. {Lex leans over and grabs Laszlo by the legs before lifting him in the air and spinning before letting Mike go, flying across the ring.}Terri Morasco: Lex again, with tremendous power shown. Vasco Dias: Laszlo isn’t a small man. {The momentum and some of Laszlo’s own doing, he rolls out of the ring. The referee tries his best to stop the giant, but Lex goes out of the ring after him. He grabs hold of Laszlo and spins him around, shoving him backward, spine first into the steps at ringside. Laszlo remains propped up against the steps as Lex charges in with a knee, looking to smash Laszlo’s face. Laszlo though is able to move out of the way and Lex ends up slamming his knee into the steel.}Vasco Dias: There’s an opening perhaps. Terri Morasco: The big man hit those steps hard. {Laszlo rolls out of the way and gets to his feet behind Lex who pushes up on the steps to get back to his feet, gingerly. Laszlo lunges forward and takes out the monster with a vicious Chop-Block. Lex holds his knee in pain as Laszlo slides back in the ring and back out again to break the referee’s count.}Vasco Dias: Savvy there by Laszlo. Target a limb and take it out. Terri Morasco: The behemoth is down, can Laszlo take advantage? {Mike moves in and grabs hold of Sense’s injured leg. Lex tries to kick Laszlo away, but instead of allowing the momentum to push him back, Laszlo simply falls back, slamming Lex’s foot into the floor, sending a shockwave of pain up the leg. Laszlo takes a hit on the move as well and moves slowly to the ring as the referee is up to five. Laszlo rolls in and waves off the referee who tries to check on him, telling him to continue his count as Lex struggles to his feet. Lex gets on the apron by a count of eight before having his legs taken out from under him by Laszlo with a baseball slide.
Lex falls to the outside, all 350 pounds coming down on the injured leg. Laszlo gets up and heads to the opposite ropes before diving through the ropes on Lex’s side into the man himself as both go crashing down.}Terri Morasco: Laszlo takes the big man down again. That mean streak you talked about maybe coming into play here. Vasco Dias: I had a chance to talk to him earlier. He said he’s more focused then he’s ever been before in his career. {Laszlo is first to his feet, but Lex isn’t far behind. Laszlo charges in and is thrown into the air with the little bit of strength Lex can muster. Laszlo tries to brace himself but can’t as he crashes ribs first into the announce table. He falls back and holds his sides as Lex falls to the apron, using it for balance as he rolls back inside.
Laszlo meanwhile is crawling with one arm to the ring as the referee is up to six. He rolls back in the ring but as soon as he does, Lex plants a boot into his side.}Vasco Dias: Now it’s Laszlo trying to protect the injured ribs. Terri Morasco: It’s hard enough to beat Sense when healthy…now this? {Lex grabs Laszlo by the hair and pulls him to his feet, quick to execute a quick Body Slam as he shakes his leg to get a little more feeling into it. Laszlo reels a bit while getting to his feet. Lex wraps his bear paw like hands around Laszlo’s throat and lifts him into the air. Laszlo starts kicking his legs, but it is to no avail as Sense throws him back hard into the corner. Laszlo slumps before he is leveled with a hard clothesline from the giant.}Terri Morasco: This isn’t looking good for the show stealer. Vasco Dias: The what? Terri Morasco: I was trying something new. {Lex grabs Laszlo by the throat and lifts him back to a standing position in the corner. He hits him with a hard European Uppercut that sends Laszlo backwards over the top rope to the apron. Lex grabs hold of Laszlo and goes to Suplex him into the ring but Laszlo somehow is able to manage a few shots to the face that stun Sense. Laszlo grabs hold of his massively bald head and drops to the ground, stunning Sense over the top rope.}Vasco Dias: Laszlo just bought himself some time there. Terri Morasco: Look at this. {Laszlo climbs to the apron, his one arm pressed against his side. He pulls it away and grabs hold of the ropes with both hands. With a slingshot he jumps to the top rope and lunges off at the giant with a Springboard Clothesline, but it isn’t enough to take the big man down. Laszlo charges to the ropes and comes back. Lex goes for a clothesline, but Laszlo ducks it and heads to the opposite set of ropes. Upon return, Lex goes for the clothesline again, but again Laszlo ducks. Laszlo hits the ropes one more time and lunges at the big man, grabbing him by the head while throwing his legs into the air, driving the big man to the mat with a vicious DDT!}Terri Morasco: What a move by Laszlo! Vasco Dias: All of Lex’s weight just landed on his neck. {With the big man down and Alexis cheering him on, Laszlo looks to the turnbuckle, and then down at Lex who hasn’t moved yet. Laszlo scrambles to the corner and ascends it. Standing perfectly straight he looks out to the crowd who boo him as he raises his arms high in the air with a look of distain on his face and lunges off, planting his elbow square in the chest of the downed Lex. He hooks the leg and goes for the cover.
1!
2!!
NOOOO!
Lex powers out of it, throwing Mike in the air and off the cover about a foot.}Vasco Dias: That’s it. He can’t be beat. He’s too big. Terri Morasco: Too big and too powerful. Did you see how he just threw Laszlo off of him? {Laszlo looks on in shock. He scrambles for some offense and heads back to the top rope. This time though, he doesn’t have enough time as Lex is up and smacks one of his legs out from under him. Laszlo is crotched on the turnbuckle as Lex swings his legs over the top rope, grabbing Mike off the turnbuckle in Powerbomb fashion before turning and driving him hard into the mat below. Then showing his strength, Lex pulls Laszlo back up. Laszlo starts fighting out of desperation but Lex drives him down into the canvas one more time, this time more vicious then the last.
Laszlo seems limp as Lex pulls him up again. One more time in a valiant effort, Laszlo starts hitting Sense directly in the face with forearm shots as Lex staggers to the middle of the ring before slamming Mike down one more time with the third of three Powerbombs, completing the “Top to Bottom” sequence with a stacked up pin.
1!
2!!
Thre..LASZLO SLIPS OUT OF IT!}Vasco Dias: How the hell did he kick out of that? Terri Morasco: Resiliency shown there. Was it worth it though? {Lex leans against the top rope, staring back down at what seems like his limp opponent. Grabbing by the head, he pulls Laszlo to his feet and throws his arm over his shoulder, looking for “The End” (Bookend).}Vasco Dias: This could be “The End” no pun intended. {Lex glares out into the audience, but that split hesitation allows Laszlo to hit the big man with a few elbows to the side of the head that stun the giant. Laszlo then switches positions with Sense and barely gets him up, taking him down with a Urinage before locking in the ANACONDA VICE!}Vasco Dias: WHAT A REVERSAL! THE ANACONDA VICE IS LOCKED IN! Terri Morasco: That it is, and there seems to be nowhere for Lex to go here. {Laszlo wrenches back on the hold with all of his might, screaming in pain as the rib injury is still affecting him. Lex struggles to find an escape and starts hitting the injured ribs with shots from the knee, but each of those takes their toll on Lex as it is his bad knee.}Vasco Dias: Both men feeling the pain of this match as they put each other through hell. Lex is still locked into the hold though, and it’s been a good while. Terri Morasco: All the struggling though has him inches away from the bottom rope with his massive frame. {Lex hits Laszlo with a few more shots, causing Laszlo to release some of the pressure while still keeping the hold on. Sense uses his lower body strength to pull them both closer to the ropes before extending his foot, draping it across the bottom rope.} Vasco Dias: He broke the hold there. Terri Morasco: Excellent ring awareness. He was in that hold a while though. How will it affect his shoulder? {Laszlo moves in and tries to pull the big man up to his feet. Lex though breaks Laszlo’s hold and levels him with a vicious clothesline out of nowhere. Both men are down for a moment, but it is Lex who gets to his feet first. He lets out a primal scream before hoisting Laszlo onto his shoulders, looking for the “Left Senseless” Death Valley Driver. Thanks to the pain of the Anaconda Vice though, a look of discomfort can be seen on his face. Laszlo is able to hit a few elbows to the face before slipping off and down Lex’s back. Lex turns and gets blasted with a huge Superkick that staggers him back into the corner. Laszlo signals for the Malicious Intent.}Vasco Dias: Can he do that? Terri Morasco: I don’t know. Lex Sense is a big guy. {Laszlo pulls Sense from the corner and manages to lift him onto his shoulders for the Malicious Intent. Lex though, having the height on Laszlo gives a struggle that allows him to land on his feet, breaking Laszlo’s grasp. Lex quickly spins before Laszlo can and nails him with the “Back to the Future” Clothesline from Hell to the back of the head. Laszlo is out cold as Lex rolls him over and goes for the cover.
1!

3!!!
The bell rings as Lex is announced the winner.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner and advancing to tonight’s finals, LEX SENSSSSE! Terri Morasco: It was just too much for Laszlo. Vasco Dias: He had the big man up, but couldn’t bring him over. Lex was too tall, and in the end moves on to the finals. {Lex looks down at his fallen pray as his music plays throughout the arena.}----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH IWF CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH Bushido (c) vs Brad Kane
---------------------------------------------------------- { The lights in the arena begin to dim down as the crowd rises to their feet as the opening guitar is heard echoing through the arena. Fans cheer loudly as "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" by Coheed & Cambria is blaring through the sound system. The introduction for the song keeps building until that magical moment when the song breaks through. Pyro explodes as the lights come back on in the arena. Standing before them is that old familiar face with grimace on his face. Brad Kane stands on the stage with a look of pain on his face holding his ribs making his way down to the ring. No hands get slapped as he walks up the stairs and enters the ring waiting for the match to begin. }Vasco Dias: Brad Kane looks to be in a tremendous amount of pain this evening. Looks like he's been in a car wreck. Terri Morasco: That he does but he has that focused look in his eyes. All week he talked about it coming full circle for his career. {The drums and bass that belong to the intro of "Serious Japanese", by The Teriyaki Boyz blares throughout the arena. A red sun appears on the jumbotron as a giant Japanese flag unfurls from underneath the big screen and covers the entrance of the stage. The Japanese spoken lyrics begin and Miranda emerges from behind the flag, holding it up so Bushido could appear from under it. He steps out to the stage and two hands rise to his face in a martial arts pose, bending forward before making his way towards the ring. Miranda walks behind him, bobbing her head along with the music. No interaction with the audience occurs until at ringside where Bushido stamps a Kanji symbol for HONOR on a fan's forehead. Miranda helps him remove the Samurai armor at ringside where he also takes off his Jingasa respectfully before making his way up the steel steps and entering the ring through the middle rope. Bushido then bows to everyone in the ring before waiting in a corner.}Terri Morasco: Our first ever and current Cruiserweight champion, Bushido. He's had the advantage at every single turn the past few weeks over the challenger. That red mist is completely bull. Vasco Dias: It's given Bushido what he needs though. { The opening bell rings as the crowd roars at the start of this contest. Neither man has a real height or weight advantage both forgoing a lock up exchanging elbows with one another first. Back and forth they go with the strikes. Brad has a hard time putting force behind each blow as Bushido gets the upper hand. He whips Brad into the ropes as Kane ducks a clothesline, bounces back and hits a running elbow that doesn't cause too much pain to the champion. Brad yells out before hitting another elbow with limited force. Bushido unleashes a super wicked kick to Brad's ribs that causes the challenger to kneel down. }Vasco Dias: What a series of strikes between these two men. Not that I'm super surprised. Terri Morasco: Both men like to wrestle around the same style. { Bushido mockingly slaps Brad in the face before kicking him in the ribs while Kane is still kneeling down. Kane howls in pain while Bushido grabs Brad by the head and knees him right in the face. The challenger falls over onto the canvas, Bushido figuring out what to do next. The champion runs and hits a quick double stomp onto the ribs of Brad Kane before turning around to pull him up. Another whip but this time into the corner. Brad feels the impact before seeing Bushido run towards him. Brad moves out of the way at the last second and grabs the champion by the waist. He tries to lift him overhead but fails in his task. }Terri Morasco: Something is off about Brad Kane right now. This isn't the same man we've seen the past few weeks. Vasco Dias: I think you're right Terri and this is exactly what Bushido wanted to see too. Everything is already opening up for a huge retention of his title tonight. { Brad tries to lift Bushido overhead again and fails a second time. He releases his grasp and elbows at the champion again sending him into the corner. Brad unleashes a few chops to the champion's chest before grabbing him and whipping him into the corner across the ring. He tries to sprint to follow but he stops in his tracks trying to maintain his balance. Bushido explodes from the corner and spears Brad to the mat. More howling pain from Brad while Bushido is starting to hear the cries of pain. }Vasco Dias: My goodness. This doesn't sound good at all. Terri Morasco: Bushido is a shark smelling blood in the water right now. He's circling around Brad Kane like he's part of a neighborhood watch. Vasco Dias: Really? Sounds like something Helms would say... Terri Morasco: Someone has to pick up that idiot's slack. { The champion pulls his challenger back up to his feet before lifting him into the air and slamming him onto the mat. Bushido runs off of the ropes and hits a standing frog splash onto the ribs of Brad Kane. A cover follows with a hook of the leg.
One...
Two...
Brad is able to slip a shoulder off of the mat. Bushido curses to himself in Japanese before pulling the long time veteran up to his feet. Bushido pushes Brad into a corner and begins to unload with shoulders to the midsection working over the ribs. Brad keeps yelling out in pain every single time as Bushido shows no mercy by getting a running start for the final one and spearing himself into Brad's midsection again. }Terri Morasco: At some point Brad's going to have to realize he's fighting a losing battle right now. Vasco Dias: I don't know. The guy has come back from two neck surgeries. That's impressive. But you're right. Bushido is picking him apart. { Bushido pulls Brad out of the corner and suplexes him down to the mat. Another suplex follows befor a huge running senton to the ribs. Bushido follows that up with a standing moonsault. The crowd is beginning to fear for the worst as Brad keeps screaming in pain. People turn their attention to the entry way to see Brad's son, Christopher, walk down to the ring. }Vasco Dias: What's the kid doing out here? Terri Morasco: I think he's concerned about his father's well being. { The smile on Bushido's face grows wider as he begins talking to the crowd in Japanese. This naturally draws out the "USA!" chant from the people while Chris pounds the mat trying to get his father pumped up. Brad tries to get up to his feet but gets cut off with a well placed kick to the ribs again. Brad keeps himself up with the ropes as a second kick arrives. Brad is still using the ropes to hold himself up while Bushido rushes him. Brad drops down and lowers the ropes to send the champion flying out of the ring. }Terri Morasco: That might be what Brad needs to get himself back into this match. Vasco Dias: The man can barely stand though, Terri. Bushido has done the damage and from whatever happened yesterday I just don't know if Kane can keep it going. { Brad keeps himself up in the corner as Bushido is already back up onto his feet. He slides into the ring as Brad begins to kick and stomp away at the champion. Its having little effect with Bushido getting back up to his feet. Brad is kicking away trying to inflict pain on the champion but nothing is working. Brad tries to lift Bushido into the air again but he just cannot do it. Bushido is able to kick Brad in the ribs again and hits the Skydiver! A cover follows.
One...
Two...
And again Brad is able to kick out. Chris starts to pound on the mat again trying to get his father back into the match. }Vasco Dias: Brad's trying but its just not there. Terri Morasco: The ref needs to call this off and soon before anything harmful is really done to him. Bushido won't stop to make a point to the rest of the division. { Bushido pulls Brad back up only to drop him again with the Hook Turn before turning his attention to the corner. Here come the Rip Cord! Bushido covers and hooks both legs.
One...
Two...
Thre...
Brad is able to kick out which sends the crowd and Chris into a frenzy! Everyone is on their feet right now for Brad while he tries to get back up to his feet. Bushido pulls him up and goes for a roundhouse kick but Brad ducks and hits the backfist! Bushido stays up on his feet and here comes a second and third backfist! Bushido hasn't gone down due to the weak power from the strikes. Brad tries to get Bushido up in the torture rack position for the Reckless Killing but the neck and ribs give out. }Terri Morasco: This isn't good. Vasco Dias: No it's not. { Brad is on the mat while Bushido shakes his head loose from the backfists. He smirks before pulling Brad up and hits the Tandem. He keeps ahold of it and rolls up for another Tandem. Now a third. The crowd is on their feet silent as Bushido hits a fourth before the towel flies into the ring. The ref takes notice and calls for the bell. Bushido hits a fifth just for the hell of it before the title is handing to him. }Vasco Dias: I think Bushido just beat Brad Kane into retirement. Terri Morasco: And he retains the Cruiserweight Title. This was a savage beating tonight. { Christopher Kane has entered the ring and is checking on his father's condition before Bushido kicks the boy away to taunt Brad. Chris looks furious and has to be held back by a ref while medical personnel come down to the ring. Bushido leaves the ring with his title held high and a smile on his face. }----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH HANDICAP MATCH Doc vs Alex Jones & Gjenrei
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: I can't say I agree with this next match, while Doc does deserve some kind of punishment for his actions I think this is above and beyond what is called for.
Vasco Dias: Judging from the opponents Angel chose, he's just looking to get Doc hurt. {As the fans wait in anticipation, "Victory" hits over the PA and the crowd rise to their feet, awaiting the arrival of Doc. The lights then turn to darkness, a blue glow illuminating the top of the ramp and two white strobe lighting bolts shining across it. They cross over in a huge "X" shape, like the St. Andrews flag of Scotland, and as Doc walks out and stands under the "X", the lights turn back on Doc hops on a the spot a couple of times, before speeding up his approach to the ring as the song enters its chorus.}Vasco Dias: I've got to say before this match even starts, regardless of what Doc did, this is a blatant abuse of power on Angel's part.Terri Morasco: Totally agree with you here Vasco. What makes it worse is neither Alex nor Gjenrei really want any part of this match.
Vasco Dias: Unfortunately they don't have a choice. {The lights dim as "Ryoujoku no Ame" by Dir En Grey starts to play. The masked man known only as "Gjenrei" steps out from behind the curtain and kneels at the upper part of the ramp as the drum beats start to kick in. He waits, his hands folded in prayer, then the music amps up and comes full force. He leaps from his knees to his feet as a short pyro burst explodes on either side of the ramp. He walks down the ramp, and ascends one of the corner turnbuckles, gazing out over the packed crowd. Then he sits himself on top of the turnbuckle, crossed legged, and meditates until the match is about to get underway.}
{The lights shut off as the theme song from SAW comes overt the PA, as we come to the height of the song the song it suddenly stops.
BREAK!
Blue smock nancy's "unsettling differences" blasts out as a spotlight shines on the entranceway. Alex Jones emerges wearing a black shirt with "prince of perfection" written on it. He walks down to the ring and leaps onto the apron sliding across it before getting into the ring and leaping onto the second rope instigating the crowd. }Vasco Dias: Everyone is in the ring and Doc looks ready for war.
Terri Morasco: Alex and Gjenrei seem to be discussing who is going to start the match, seems like they are going to disregard the fact they can both be in the ring and try and bring some honor to this match.
Vasco Dias: Respectable, hopefully it doesn't cost them the match. { Gjenrei and Jones talk in the corner and decide that even thought it's NO DQ they are still going to opt to tag in and out. }Terri Morasco: Looks like Jones is going to start off for his team, he and Angel have a long history of blood shed and war, it's a little strange to see him fighting on Angel's behalf.
Vasco Dias: Enemy of my enemy is my friend and that's what Doc has made himself here. { The bell sounds and Doc moves right out of his corner where he and Jones quickly lock up. Jones goes for the side head lock but Doc pushes him off, Jones hits the ropes and Doc goes for the drop kick but ones hangs up on the ropes and Doc lands on his side. Jones moves in quick but Doc nips up and smashes his right elbow into the face of Jones three times and drives him back into the corner. Doc begins to unload some knife edge chops to the WOOO! of the crowd. Doc steps up onto the second rope and goes for the ten right hands but Jones grabs Doc by the tights and pushes himself forward and hits Doc with a power bomb out of the corner! }Vasco Dias: Jones with a nice power bomb out of the corner!
Terri Morasco: These men know each other better than most and watching them fight is always a treat, only wish is it was a singles. { Jones is quick to his feet, Doc sits up and Jones comes off the ropes with a running drop kick! Jones gets right up and pulls Doc into a seated position and hits a roll over neck breaker on the mat that sends Doc's upper body whip lashing back into the mat. Doc rolls over in pain and clutches at his neck but Alex is right on him. He pulls Doc up and sends him into the corner and follows him right in with a running knee lift in the corner. Alex follws it right up with several shin kicks to the mid section. Alex hooks Doc by the neck and goes for a bulldog but Doc grips Alex around the waist and throws his hips and nails a German suplex on Alex! Doc is slow to his feet. Jones gets right up but Doc connects with successive chops and elbows that drive Alex into the corner. Doc grips the ropes and hits three hard kicks in the corner before hooking Alex up for a suplex out of the corner. }Terri Morasco: The action is back and forth and intense, Doc his a picture perfect snap suplex out of the corner.
Vasco Dias: I love this level of competition. It's what stands IWF apart from every other wrestling company on the planet! { Doc gets up, grabs the ropes and climbs to the top. Doc soars off with air Glasgow! Doc hooks Alex's leg but he kicks out at two. Doc gets to his feet. Alex is up. Doc is quick to lock Alex up in a side head lock followed by a take down that quickly turns into a rear chin lock. Doc drives his knee into the back of Jones several times while still holding the chin lock. Alex struggles to break free as Doc wrenches back on him. Gjenrei watches from the corner, his honor keeping him from helping his partner. Doc finally releases the lock and stands Alex up. Doc drives several knees into the chest of the bent over Alex before sending Alex into the corner again. Doc runs in with a splash in the corner on Alex. Doc pulls Alex out of the corner then spins around and sends him into the turn buckles again then drops Jones with a reverse neck breaker. }Vasco Dias: Doc has a lot of momentum right now, he needs to keep on Alex and keep Gjenrei out of the match.
Terri Morasco: Doc may actually be able to pull this off! { Doc heads back to the corner and begins to untie the pad on the turn buckle. }Terri Morasco: And here comes the No DQ portion of the match, Doc is exposing that the turnbuckle.
Vasco Dias: Now I'm not one for extreme wrestling but with men like Doc and Alex Jones in there? I've got to say the prospect is fairly exciting. { Doc exposes the metal beneath the turn buckle as Alex gets to his feet, he looks to Gjenrei and considers tagging in but still doesn't feel like it's the right thing to do in this match. Doc however does not feel the same. He spins Jones around and goes for the whip but Alex puts on the breaks and connects with a Pele kick from out of no where. Alex gets up and sees the exposed turn buckle, he looks at Doc and shakes his head then heads across the ring to tag in Gjenrei. }Vasco Dias: Jones with an impressive reversal and now he sees the exposed turnbuckle and is opting to tag in the fresh man. Things just went from bad to worse for Doc as he is all alone in there.
Terri Morasco: This was bound to happen at some point and now we are about to see what Gjenrei can do in this environment.
{ Gjenrei hops the ropes just as Doc stands and charges across the ring and nails a flying elbow then several hard knife edge chops that drive Doc back into his own corner where Gjenrei hits a spinning heel kick that slams Doc against the exposed turn buckle. Doc staggers out of the corner and Gjenrei spring board off the ropes with a head scissor take down on Doc! Doc tries to get right back up but Gjenrei hits the ropes again and springs boards off with a tornado ddt on Doc and covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Gjenrei gets right to his feet and doesn't wait for Doc as he hits the ropes and nails Doc in the side of the head with a drop kick. Gjenrei heads to the corner, leaps up in a single bound and jumps off the top with a frog splash on the downed Doc. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Gjenrei with a frog splash and a near fall!
Vasco Dias: Doc is at a huge disadvantage here as Gjenrei is fresh off the apron and Doc has been wrestling his heart out against Jones. { Gjenrei is right up and to the corner, he climbs up and goes for the split legged moonsult on Doc. He connects and hooks the leg again. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Gjenrei gets back to his feet and goes for the ropes. He bounces off and comes back across the ring just as Doc gets up and goes between Gjenrei's legs. Gjenrei spring boards and twists in the air right into a GENECIDE KICK! Both men are down and Doc rolls to the outside of the ring. }Vasco Dias: GENECIDE KICK!!!!
Terri Morasco: Doc just turned the tables here and now he needs to capitalize.
Vasco Dias: But can he? He's already taken so much punishment. { Doc is on his hands and knees and moves the ring apron out of the way. He reaches under the ring and pulls out a steel chair. Gjenrei rolls up to his feet and sees Doc on the outside. Gjenrei doesn't see the chair but he hits the ropes and comes running across the ring. Gjenrei flies through the ropes for a suicide dive right into the waiting chair that Doc is holding! Gjenrei is down and Doc rolls into the ring with the chair and demands Alex get into the ring. Alex looks around and the crowd goes wild. }Vasco Dias: It's about to get extreme!
Terri Morasco: Both these men once wrestled for a company known for it's extreme nature, this could get bloody. { Alex drops off the apron and looks under the ring, he reaches under as Doc demands he get in the ring. Alex pulls out his own chair and slowly walks up the steps. Alex hops over the ropes and Doc charges with the chair, Alex blocks with his and the two cross chairs over their heads once, twice and a third time. Doc looks for another jab but Alex suddenly tosses his chair into the face of Doc and connects with an AJ GURI! Doc falls back onto Alex's thrown chair. Alex grabs Doc's chair and picks it up and throws it down on top of Doc then goes to the corner. He climbs the ropes and flies off the top with the SPIRAL TAP ON TOP OF THE CHAIR ON TOP OF DOC!!! Alex pins Doc between two chairs and the crowd goes crazy. Gjenrei finally rolls back into the ring and sees Doc laying there between two chairs then runs across the ring, spring boards off the ropes and drops a leg across Doc and the chairs! }Terri Morasco: Doc was pinned between those chairs and Gjenrei, he could have a cracked rib!
Vasco Dias: I bet Angel is smiling from ear to ear wherever he is watching this. { Gjenrei throws the chair aside and covers Doc. ONE! TWO! THRE-KICK OUT!!!! }Vasco Dias: Doc is on his last legs here, he needs to turn this thing around before it's too late.DOC WINS { Gjenrei pulls Doc up to his feet. Doc wobbles as Gjenrei flies toward the ropes, Doc comes back to life and grabs a chair off the mat and throws it in Gjenrei's face just as he comes off the ropes, Doc fires a GENECIDE KICK into Alex's face and follows it up with one right to Gjenrei! Gjenrei falls and Doc covers. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!}Terri Morasco: DOC DID IT! He somehow overcame the odds and beat two men and got even more retribution against Angel.
Vasco Dias: I'm sure the head of our cruiser weight division was watching and can't possibly be happy about this.
Terri Morasco: You've got to wonder if Doc winning only makes the situation worse. { Doc rolls out of the ring and laughs as he looks at the camera and says "Nice try, Angel." }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT "Just you and me..."
---------------------------------------------------------- { Angel steps into the open office of Simon de Montfort. Simon was waiting for him and gestures for Angel to take a seat. } Simon de Montfort: You don't look terribly pleased tonight Angel, something not go your way? { Clearly referencing Doc's big win only moments ago, Angel simply grimaces. }Simon de Montfort: I understand this is a personal matter between you and Doc and I have no problem over looking your medical history to secure you and he a spot on my card... But I will not stand for my staff abusing their power and trying to get not one but possibly several of my wrestlers hurt. You and Doc will settle this matter between yourselves, preferably on my programming but from this point forward you keep the cruiser weights out of it. Do we understand each other? { Angel simply nods before getting up from the chair and walking toward the door. He looks dead on into the camera. }Angel: Just you and me now Doc... { Fade on an extreme close up of Angel. }

MATCH HEIRESS TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Jessica Reed vs Alysson Gardner
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: Well, here we are folks, the second of our semi-final matches in the Heiress to the Throne tournament! Jessica Reed, a surprise package, takes on the woman whose career is littered with gold, it’s a real David vs Goliath story. Vasco Dias: It certainly is, you know what, I am actually starting to get some goosebumps, we’re finally going to crown the best man and woman tonight. Terri Morasco: Let’s not waste any more time and get straight to business! { The first chords for "The Pretender" hit the PA, as images of Alysson in action are shown in slow-motion in the titantron. When the drums kick in, the tron starts flashing slices of action in an incredible speed, as Alysson shows atop the entrance ramp with her motorcycle, forcing the engine so to make a loud roar noise as the crowd cheers on. After that, she jumps off the bike and removes her helmet, looking over the crowd, before throwing up the horns, making an X with her arms. After that, the Big Red rushes down to the ring, sliding in and showing off for the crowd, throwing more cross-arm horns. }Terri Morasco: Here comes a veteran with so much knowledge and potential for even greater domination, but can she rise from obscurity to take a spot in a final? Vasco Dias: Possibly, it’d be a great achievement too when we consider where she was not that long ago. { The lights go out and a myriad of colours begin to flash as “Die Young” by Ke$ha blasts out of the PA system and the crowd erupt as Jessica Reed merges from behind the curtain, this week seemingly dressed in a bat girl cosplay costume as she waves to the audience. With a big smile on her face she begins walking down the ramp, bouncing energetically as she slaps the hands of the fans who are eager to interact with one of their favourites. Jess reaches the steps and rushes up them quickly before getting up to the top rope and waving to the fans again before she hops down and starts to prepare for the match. }Terri Morasco: Say what you want about this kid, shes got a lot of fight in her and she is still undefeated! Vasco Dias: She’s done well, but this is the big leagues, can she really hang with somebody like Alysson Gardner? { The pair start to circle the ring, eyeing one another up. The pair eventually lock up but Alysson has the strength advantage and pushes Jessica backwards. Jess rolls and gets back up but soon regrets this as she eats a clothesline for her troubles. Gardner lifts Jess up and whips her into the corner where she swiftly follows with a clothesline which leaves her in a heap in the corner. Alysson backs off, feeling comfortable with her early domination. }Terri Morasco: Well, that wasn’t overly sportswomanlike… Vasco Dias: You’ve gotta be vicious in this game Terri, it’s all well and good been a little sweetheart, but there are monsters on the roster. { Alysson takes Jess out of the corner and drops her back down with a well-executed body slam before she hits a standing moonsault and goes for an early cover, 1…no! Way too early to try and put her foe out of commission. Alysson picks Jess back up and lifts her up for a suplex, holding her there briefly, before he sends her crashing back down, leaving the young blonde arching her back in pain. Alysson quickly gets to her feet and drops a leg across Jess’ throat which keeps the youngster grounded again as Gardner starts to pick up the pace. She starts to stalk around Jess, waiting for her to get up, but as she does she again regrets with when she’s struck with a spinning heel kick to the face. }Vasco Dias: Well, the pace is getting too quick for my tastes. Terri Morasco: Both girls are really talented high adrenaline style wrestlers, this could be a real treat. Vasco Dias: Perhaps, but then they’re going to waste valuable energy they’ll need for the final later tonight if they blow a gasket. Terri Morasco: Wow, touché. { Alysson is really starting to get some momentum going but as she picks Jess up she realises the plucky little spitfire isn’t going down yet as she plants some elbows into Aly’s ribs before hitting a European uppercut which takes Big Red by complete surprise! Jess shakes off some cobwebs and runs at Aly, hitting a spinning elbow which knocks Aly to the mat. Jess gets up and immediately hits a spinning kick of her own to Aly who had just managed to get back to her feet but is put down again. Jess looks around trying to plan her next move but opts to plant a few elbow drops to keep Alysson down for a little bit longer. }Vasco Dias: Ha ha, there’s a little spark in this one. Terri Morasco: Jess has really endeared herself to everybody since her arrival, but she is quite a talented young lady in that ring, people forget that. { Spotting Aly is getting up Jess hits the ropes and leaps for a crossbody but to her amazement Alys spots it and ducks, leaving Jess crashing on the mat clutching at her ribs in agony. She picks herself up and manages to duck under another spinning kick from Aly before she turns around and tries to throw a punch but finds it blocked as Alysson drives a toe kick into her ribs before dropping the youngster with a DDT that finally brings the sparring session to a close, which the crowd show their appreciation for both women’s efforts. }Terri Morasco: Alysson definitely not out of this one yet, some good offence from both ladies so far. Vasco Dias: Still, it’s all well and good, but they need to conserve their energy for later, I can’t stress that enough. Terri Morasco: Perhaps, but these girls will know that Vasco. Not everybody is about the sleeper hold. { Aly lifts Jess back up and hits her with a neckbreaker to try and keep her return to being on top going, which seems to work as Jess lays on the mat clutching her neck, kicking at it with one of her feet. Alysson feels this may be a suitable time to go a little more high risk as she starts to climb the turnbuckle, continuing to stare down at Jessica who is still more or less in the middle of the ring before turning her back, taking on more glance behind her before she leaps up into the air, gracefully flipping an exquisite moonsault… }Terri Morasco: Alysson is going high risk! Vasco Dias: Yawn… { … but she misses! Jess spots the move and gets out of dodge before it’s too late, what a close shave for the cosplayer. The crowd groan as Aly clutches her ribs and rolls around in pain as Jess takes a few moments to recover her senses. }Vasco Dias: Wow, well done. See, this is why this sort of wrestling has no place in the world. Terri Morasco: We don’t want to watch two dudes hug for 56 minutes every match. Vasco Dias: Sure you don’t. { Jessica does her best to pick herself up to her feet and as Aly finally recovers she begins to rain down some thunderous chops to the big red’s chest, causing it to ironically enough turn red as she staggers backwards. However, Aly is quick to throw some punches which sends Jess back too until eventually she falls through the ropes and to the outside. Aly eyes her up and takes a deep breath before she comes flying after her with a suicide dive which leaves both girls laid out flat on the mat! The crowd are going wild as Jess and Aly lay motionless on the outside. }Vasco Dias: These two are not thinking of the match later on! Terri Morasco: No, they are living in the moment and enjoying every minute. Vasco Dias: I doubt even Jess enjoyed being flattened by a flying Gardner. { Neither girl has moved for a while as the referee begins the inevitable count down…. 1……2…..3…. Aly starts to stir and bit, using the barricades to pick herself up, 4……5…… Aly is on her feet but Jess has also started to use the barricades to get up, 6……7……Aly limps over to the apron and rolls back into the ring……8 ……….9…..Jess dives under the rope to desperately keep herself in this match. Neither girl is willing to give this up at all and they are clearly going to go all out to make sure that they stay in this tournament. }Terri Morasco: These girls have heart, but which one of them has enough to win? Vasco Dias: And after this, will they even have the energy to fight at the end of the evening? { Aly is back up and her feet and starts to stomp on Jess, trying to keep her grounded so she can work back to being in charge of this match. She gets Jess into a side headlock and yanks her up off the mat before she starts to run forward and she plants Jess down with a nicely timed bulldog which has the desired effect of keeping Jess down. 1…..2…..NO! Jessica throws a big shoulder up and keeps herself in this, much to Aly’s frustration who really wants to try and finish this one and conserve a little energy for a final appearance. }Vasco Dias: Aly doesn’t look too impressed. Terri Morasco: Of course, she’s a veteran, she knows she has to close this up and save some strength for later, but its too high profile I think for that, it’s going to go to the wire. { Aly picks Jess up and hits a snap suplex…. Or at least she tries to but Jess hooks a leg and hits one of her own before she swivels her hips and goes for a three amigos! Each suplex shakes the ring as Aly hits the mat hard but Jess is not look too great and the pair lay in the ring heaving for breath as they stare up at the ceiling. Jess slowly struggles to get up, but is staggering on her feet as she waits for Alysson to get back to her own feet slowly. Aly eventually manages to pull herself up and ducks a attempted kick to the head and leaps up to tackle Jess to ground who hits the mat in a crumpled heap, unable to defend herself from a hailstorm of fists. }Terri Morasco: This match is so intense, just back and forth over and over, who on earth is going to take this by the horns and seal the deal? Vasco Dias: It’s taking its toll on these ladies, Alysson won’t ever quit but this Reed has a spark in her I never thought she was capable of. { Jess tries to block this assault and is finally given a little bit of a reprieve by the referee who pulls Alysson up to warn her about her beavhiour, giving Jess time to roll away and use the ropes to pull herself up on the outside. Aly spots it and pushes past the referee but Jess uses the ropes to ull herself up to hit a enzguri to the side of Gardner’s head which puts her down for a moment. Jess climbs back through the ropes and uses what energy she has left to run and hit the ropes before bouncing off to hit a cross body which sends Alysson down. Jessica pops back up as quickly as she can and she grabs Alysson and his a jumping DDT which rocks the whole ring and leaves Alysson laid out flat in the middle of the ring, which lights up Jess’ face. }Vasco Dias: Big moment in this match! Terri Morasco: Jessica seems to have some sort of idea, oh boy this may or may not be a good idea! { The crowd are on their feet, Jess can barely stand at this point but Aly is down and she isn’t looking like she is going to be getting up any time soon. Jess looks at the turnbuckle and starts nodding her head before clapping to pump up the audience. Wasting no more time she struggles over and begins her climb, always keeping an eye on Aly to make sure of where she is in proximity of the corner she is ascending. She finally reaches the top and steadies herself, taking a deep breathe, and without hesitation she leaps up into the air as flash bulbs go off all over the arena and she nails a top rope leg drop! Jess hooks a leg, 1……2…….3!!!! Jessica Reed has done it! }Terri Morasco: Wow! Jessica has pulled off a big upset here, taking out a veteran like Gardner is no mean feat! Vasco Dias: Impressive, but she doesn’t look great, this has taken a lot out of her… Terri Morasco: But then, Kat will be aching too Vasco, this final could be massive. { Jess leaps in the air as the ref raises her hand as she begins to get excited again, a huge smile on her face as she waves to the fans and rolls out of the ring, making her way to the back to prepare for his final match with Kathleen Conway which no doubt promises to be a strong test. }----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT HEIR TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Joe Everyman vs Cable Arcane
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: The Heir to the Throne tournament has been a huge success and many can't wait to find out who the first ever Imperial Champion will be. Vasco Dias: I have my prediction. Do you have yours? Terri Morasco: Of course but a lady never tells. {Live To Rise by Soundgarden starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage, ecstatic as ever. Joe walks down the ramp while holding their arms up towards the crowd, who cheer for Joe with deafening sound. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a standing jump onto the apron. Joe then climbs into the ring through the ropes and looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then stands and waits.}Vasco Dias: Joe Everyman hasn't exactly been a huge success but you have to admire his dedication. Rumors of alcoholism aside, he has been rather impressive as of recent weeks. Terri Morasco: No doubt, Vasco. Many believed he wouldn't be in the Final Four but he shocked the world when he came out victorious last week. I have to say, everybody loves a good underdog story. ... is there any good left in ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {Good Man by Devour the Day hits the PA as the lights in the arena begin to strobe red along with the beat of the music. Cable Arcane steps out onto the ramp, his face hidden by the hood of his jacket as the music kicks into gear. Arcane makes his way down the ramp to the beat of the music and rolls in under the bottom rope. He stands up in the middle of the ring as the singer begins to belt the lyrics and throws both his arms out to the side in sort of Jesus pose. The music dies down as he throws his hood back and waits for the match to start.}Terri Morasco: Cable Arcane has been gathering a following since the beginning of this tournament. He's got quite a few people hoping he would be the one to take this entire tournament home. Vasco Dias: Are you one of them? Terri Morasco: Maybe. Vasco Dias: Well there is a good chance that there is more than a little good left in Arcane. Not a bad choice to make, Terri. {The crowd buzzes with excitement as both men stand in their corners of the ring. The ref calls for the bell but neither is quick to move. Instead, they circle each other carefully, inching closer with each lap until finally meeting in the center of the ring in an Elbow to Collar. The slightly bigger Joe immediately goes for a Standing Side Headlock but the former MMA combatant counters by spinning out, twisting Joe's arm and using The American Dream's own momentum to bring his face slamming down to the mat. Cable hurries to his feet, as does Joe in an attempt to get back in this before Cable can build up some steam but as Everyman goes for the attack with a right hand, Arcane catches the arm and sends him over unto his back with an Arm Drag, keeping ahold of the arm as he transitions into an Arm Bar.}Vasco Dias: Cable is showing off some technically sound submission skills that I find quite refreshing. Terri Morasco: You would. These guys are taking it rather slow. Perhaps they have that big Main Event in mind and don't want to burn themselves out too badly. Vasco Dias: I wouldn't put it past them. This is a Marathon after all with the Imperial Championship on the line. {Joe slaps at his own shoulder, wincing as Cable applies pressure but three straight punches to the face of Cable would force him off the hold. Both men hurry to their feet once again but Joe is a little quicker this time as he spears Cable into the corner and follows up with some shoulder blocks into the midsection. Everyman is relentless as each time the shoulder digs deeper than the last following it up with a series of knife edge chops. Welts form in Cable's chest as the "woos" from the crowd echo his pain. After about 7, Joe wraps his arm around Cable's head and then attempts to run him out of the corner with a Bulldog only as his feet lift off the ground, Cable holds his ground while impressively holding Joe up before countering with a Spinning Backdrop. Joe's back slams into the mat as both men find themselves grounded for the moment.}Terri Morasco: Cable is more known for his stand up strikes but nothing beats an old fashioned backdrop. Vasco Dias: Agreed. It's definitely a sound counter that must've caught Joe by surprise. {Joe is down but not out as he pushes himself to his feet but when his back straightens he finds himself on the wrong end of "The Blackened Sun Kick" (Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head)! Joe ragdolls down to the mat and Cable drops down for a nonchalant cover and 1... JOE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Unfazed by this, Cable gets back to a vertical base and immediately goes on the attack with some vicious stomps aimed at the side of Joe's head. After many, Joe curls up into a ball in an attempt to defend himself and Cable sees an opportunity to drop down and lock in his submission finisher only Everyman had the move scouted and uses the ropes in front of him to pull himself out of the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Looks like somebody needs a breather.
Terri Morasco: Not a bad strategy. Especially since he was grounded and Cable was looking to finish this quick.
{Everyman grabs his head as he stumbles about at ringside. Arcane sees another opportunity and hits the ropes, rebounding with uncanny speeds with a suicide dive that Joe just barely moves out of the way of at the last second. Joe rushes into position a few feet away from Cable, whose chin was knocked up by the barricade and is now resting upon it, the only reason he is still standing is thanks to the fans at ringside holding him up. In his confused state after crashing chin first into steel, Cable stumbles out right into a vicious "BANG!" (CDK Gore)! Cable is nearly cut in half as the count is reaching 5. Joe immediately slides back into the ring and orders the ref to continue counting.}
Terri Morasco: Looks like Joe has no qualms with taking the easy way out.
Vasco Dias: Why should he? This is for all of the biscuit, Terri. Get the quick win and be more rested when the time comes to partake in the main event.
{6... 7... 8... 9... Cable slides back into the ring but Joe shows no signs of frustrations as he drops a huge elbow drop across the back of Cable's head. Joe then takes Cable by said head and brings him to his feet before slowly wrenching him so that they are back to back before viciously pulling him down with a Neckbreaker. Joe then hooks a leg for the pin and 1... 2... CABLE KICKSOUT! Joe hurries on top of him with a mount, bringing down forearm after forearm in a show of forceful intensity that seems to catch Cable by surprise. However, Arcane is not without his tricks as he finds the escape by catching an arm and countering into a Cross Armbreaker. Joe struggles as he reaches for the ropes, clearly in pain but Everyman is not intent on giving up.}
Vasco Dias: Another terrific counter at the hands of Cable. Joe made the mistake of going for the ground game with a notable expert.
Terri Morasco: Maybe, but Cable seemed genuinely stunned at the fierceness Joe is showing right now. He really wants this win.
Vasco Dias: He should. This is one is for the history books.
{Joe has resigned to the fact that he wont be reaching the ropes anytime soon. However, he isn't ready to tap just yet so he twists his body until finding himself on his knees. Arcane holds the submission, attempting to turn Joe back unto his back but Joe's resolve shines through as he forces his knees to straighten. Hunched over, with his arm still trapped in the submission, Joe uses his unseen power and lifts Cable off of his back, high into the air before bringing him crashing down to the mat with a modified Powerbomb. Cable finds himself laid out as Joe stumbles to the ropes, trying to shake the feeling back into his arm before ignoring the pain and ripping Cable off the mat and in one fluid motion lifting him high into air before allowing gravity to take it course as he catches him on the way down with a huge "Everyman Special" (Tommyhawk)! The crowd goes wild as Joe hooks the leg and the entire arena joins in the count 1... 2... 3-NO! Cable gets the shoulder up at the last second and the crowd is actually a mixture of boos and cheers.}
Terri Morasco: That was so close. I actually believed he had him after that modified cutter.
Vasco Dias: Close is not good enough in this game.
{Joe looks up to the ref to make sure it wasn't a three but it is definitive when the official holds up two fingers. Joe wipes the sweat from his brow as he looks down at Cable, who is having a hard time at that very moment. Joe knows what must be done as he takes Cable by the head and then wraps it with his arm. Joe signals for his "Twist of Fate" and that millisecond it took to pander to the crowd was all Cable needed to escape his grasp and then daze Joe with a Sit-Down Jawbreaker. Everyman stumbles back against the corner but remains standing, holding his chin as Arcane crawls to the corner opposite him and uses the turnbuckles to stand. Cable rests against the corner as Joe shakes the cobwebs, running towards Cable with a corner clothesline in mind only Cable positions himself and catches Joe with a Drop Toe Hold that brings Everyman's face slamming into the second turnbuckle. Cable then hurries back to his feet, taking Joe from behind and pulling him back with the "Dead but Rising" (Backstabber)! Joe's spine crashes on a pair of knees but before he could slide off, Cable wraps him up with the "Not Born to Die" (Rear Naked Choke)! The crowd is once again a mixture of boos and cheers.}
Terri Morasco: Talk about a perfect position. Joe is nowhere near the ropes right now.
Vasco Dias: That submission looks perfectly locked in and I don't think Joe has a choice at this very moment.
{Joe fights against the hold but Cable could not be moved. Arcane hangs on for dear life, grapevining his legs around Joe's midsection to prevent any movement. Cable has total control of the situation but Joe refuses to give. He continues to fight through the pain and searches for a way out. His heart rejects the idea of giving in but his body doesn't give him a choice. After defiantly shouting no over and over again to the ref's question, Joe passes out. The ref raises his limp arm into the air and it flops back down for the 1... The ref once again picks the arm up and lets go for 2... The ref goes to finish the 3 but Joe holds the arm in mid-air in a mighty show of resiliency and the crowd starts chanting Everyman's name as Cable looks shocked.}
Vasco Dias: I can not believe this! Joe refuses to let this one go.
Terri Morasco: This crowd is chanting his name in unison. This is incredible.
{Cable tightens the hold he has on Joe but Everyman gathers the strength from deep within and pushes himself, crawling and scratching until one arm reaches out and grabs the bottom rope. The ref immediately calls for the break of the Choke and Arcane is left with no choice but to release Joe. Cable backs away, a little frustration settling in as the official checks on Joe who defiantly wishes to continue. The ref backs away and Cable wastes no time going on the attack, kicking Joe in the mid-section as he was standing, following the attack with blow after blow to the back, backing Joe into the corner. Cable is relentless as he continues to kick at Joe's ribs with stiff straight kicks without mercy and Everyman is desperately trying to cover up to no avail.}
Vasco Dias: Cable is not one to let this go very easily but Joe continues to fight through.
Terri Morasco: I don't think I have ever seen The American Dream this determined.
{The referee forces Cable to stop and Arcane obliges and then lifts Joe unto the third turnbuckle. Cable looks for a high impact move of some sort as he climbs the ropes in front of Joe. Arcane appears a bit wobbly but maintains his balance as he attempts a top rope Hurincanranna only Joe hangs on to the third rope and Cable goes flipping unto his face instead! Caleb's neck snaps off the mat and Joe sees the glazed look in his opponent's eyes. Arcane foolishly hurries to his feet with his back turned to Joe who flies off the second rope, grabs Arcane as he was turning around and viciously brings his face slamming back to the mat again with an "Aurora Driver" (Leaping Reverse STO)! Cable sprawls out as Joe lays next to him before slowly turning over on top of him as the crowd raucously counts along and 1... 2... 3!}
Terri Morasco: Oh my god! Joe Everyman has pulled off an incredible upset here. What a huge win for The American Dream.
Vasco Dias: I'm stunned. Didn't expect that to happen but this is IWF where the unpredictable occurs on a weekly basis. Joe is one step closer to being the Imperial Champion but man, talk about out of the flames and into the fire.
{"Live to Rise" hits the speakers as Joe remains on the floor, breathing heavily and unsure of what just happened himself. Cable takes a second before rolling out of the ring, looking up at Joe, grabbing at his head after a grueling fight, clapping for Everyman out of respect. Joe tries to stand but drops back to a knee before the ref helps him the rest of the way up, raising his arm into the air and declaring him the victor. Joe stumbles about, celebrating the moment for what it was before realizing his night is not done yet and rolling out of the ring for some much needed rest before the big Main Event.}
----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH IWF MAN OF STEEL CHAMPIONSHIP MAN OF STEEL RULES Ryan Blade (c) vs Andrew Jacobsen
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be held under Man of Steel rules. If at any point the champion is disqualified, she will lose his championship. Introducing first...."
{The opening riff of "Unbreakable" plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and as the drums kick in Andrew Jacobsen comes striding out onto the ramp. He takes a few steps forward, looking to either side with a wide grin on his face. Andrew looks dead ahead at the ring, cracking his neck, and throws his arms out and head back as a burst of red and green pyro goes off behind him.}
Alison Valance: "The challenger... From Minneapolis, Minnesota... Weighing in at two hundred and thirty-five pounds.... Andrew Jacobsen!"
{Jacobsen walks down the ramp, high-fiving fans as he walks, and pulls himself up onto the apron. He climbs through the second rope and walks to a corner, checking his gloves as he waits for the match to start.}
Vasco Dias: "There's our challenger. He held just about every time imaginable in his wrestling career, and now he's looking to add the Man of Steel Championship to the list."
Terri Morasco: "He's a master of the submission style of wrestling. He knows counters to counters, and everyone's expected him to make big waves in the division that was practically created for him."
Vasco Dias: "He's yet to find his way thus far, however, thanks in part to Ryan Blade at last month's 'Bloody Assizes' pay-per-view. Jacobsen looked to be on his way to being the first Heavyweight Champion, when Blade jumped him and choked him out."
Terri Morasco: "Now Jacobsen looks not only for the Man of Steel Title, but for revenge on the man who cost him gold just one month ago."
{The intro to Adelitas Way's "The Collapse" begins, and the lights in the arena flicker at a rapid pace. When the music hits its' stride, Ryan Blade steps out onto the stage in a flash. He walks to each side of the stage and looks out at the crowd, before his girlfriend, Chelsea joins by his side. He points at his cheek and leans to the side, allowing her to plant a kiss on his cheek. He looks out to the crowd and smirks before heading down the ramp.}
Alison Valance: "And the opponent.... Accompanied by Chelsea.... From Virginia Beach, Virginia.... Weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds... He is the reigning and defending Man of Steel Champion... Ryan Blade!"
{Ryan and Chelsea walk down the entrance ramp, looking cocky while doing so. Blade goes up the ringside stairs and walks over on the apron, pulling the second and third ropes apart. Chelsea steps into the ring, and Ryan quickly follows, jumping over the top rope and immediately climbing to the second turnbuckle, looking out to the crowd. Chelsea applauds while Ryan looks out into the sea of fans, before jumping down and removing his ring jacket, while Chelsea fans herself off. Ryan gets another quick good luck kiss before helping his girlfriend out of the ring, and turning back towards the ring as he waits for the match to start.}
Terri Morasco: "And then there's our champion, Ryan Blade. The hottest talent in Imperial through these first two months, and he's looking to make a statement win here tonight."
Vasco Dias: "Everyone told Blade that his Man of Steel reign wouldn't mean anything until he took on the poster child for the Man of Steel style of wrestling. So Blade sought out Jacobsen and made him take notice."
Terri Morasco: "This young superstar has been on the ride of a lifetime, and he's looking to continue it tonight with a win over a very hungry challenger, in Andrew Jacobsen. And just remember this, folks... the champion's advantage is out the window. If Blade gets himself disqualified, she says 'bye-bye' to his belt."
Vasco Dias: "These two are going to be at each others' throats, trying to prove who truly should be the face of this division. Can the champion retain, or will Jacobsen's experience win out?"
{The referee goes over to one corner and checks to see if Jacobsen is concealing any weapons, before going to Blade and doing the same thing. He heads back to the center and calls for the bell to start the match, and both men start to move about the ring. Both men converge on the center and go for a Collar-In-Elbow lock-up. Shortly after locking up, Blade slips through and Jacobsen stumbles forward. The champion spins around and smirks at Andrew's slip up, and Jacobsen stares him down, before firing off a big right handed punch. The Minnesotan hits three big right hands in a row and backs Blade into the ropes before grabbing his arm and shooting him off with an Irish Whip. Blade rebounds and Jacobsen ducks his head, sending the champion flying with a Back Body Drop. Ryan gets up quickly and goes back towards the ropes, and Jacobsen charges and sends him over the top and to the floor with a Clothesline. Jacobsen steps through the ropes and onto the apron, before jumping down and hitting a Double Axe Handle on Blade as he gets to his feet. Jacobsen picks Blade up and tries to roll him back into the ring, but Blade responds with a forearm shot to the gut, bending him over. He grabs Jacobsen quickly by the head and tries to slam his head into the steps, but Jacobsen puts his foot out and stops himself, but Blade turns and hits a European Uppercut that backs Jacobsen up. He grabs AJ's arm and Irish Whips him towards the steps, but Andrew jumps up and over the steps.}
Vasco Dias: "Jacobsen with the good show of athleticism there, avoiding the unforgiving steel of those stairs."
{AJ turns around just as Blade runs in and steps up on the steps, launching himself towards his opponent with a modified Springboard Clothesline. Jacobsen has enough time to catch the champion in mid-air and redirect him into the security barricade. AJ gets up first and pulls Blade up as well, rolling him under the bottom rope and into the ring. AJ quickly follows and helps Ryan to his feet, but the champion pushes him back to create space, before hitting a Spinning Back Roundhouse to the gut. The champion follows up with a Mongolion Chop down across the challenger's shoulders, and then pulling him into a knee to the stomach. Blade lifts Jacobsen up into air and twists, hitting a Delayed Twisting Scoop Slam on his challenger. With AJ down, Blade hits the ropes quickly and comes off with a Flip Senton across the chest of Jacobsen, causing him to sit up. Blade transitions into a Reverse Chinlock, wrenching back on the head of his opponent. This only lasts for a moment, however, as Jacobsen quickly breaks free and gets to his feet, hitting Blade with an Inverted Atomic Drop as he charges in. With Blade staggered, AJ grabs his right leg and spins, hitting a Dragon Screw Leg Whip on the champion, and taking him to the mat.}
Terri Morasco: "AJ, ever the technician, going for a move to soften up the leg for future submissions."
Vasco Dias: "Speaking of, he may be going for one right now."
{Jacobsen stands and holds Blade's leg before dropping down with a Knee Drop to the inner portion of his leg. Still holding the leg, the challenger turns and positions himself, dropping down to the mat with a Figure Four. Blade feels the pain in his legs, and immediately starts to reach for the ropes, dragging Jacobsen a few inches across the mat and reaching the bottom rope. Jacobsen immediately breaks the hold, and tries to pull Blade back towards the center of the ring, but Blade kicks him away. As Blade is getting to his feet, Jacobsen goes on the attack, and is caught by surprise as Blade tosses him and hits a Hip Toss Neckbreaker. Blade gets up first, with Jacobsen not far behind. The young champion lifts AJ up onto his shoulders for an Airplane Spin, but the veteran responds with some stiff elbows to the side of the head, allowing himself to drop back to the mat. He spins Blade around and ducks his shoulder, flipping Blade down to the mat with a perfectly executed Borealis Northern Lights Suplex. Jacobsen turns and gets behind Blade while putting him into the seated position, lifting Ryan's arm and hitting some strong elbow strikes to the neck and shoulder area, before going to lock on the Cross Armbreaker. Blade scrambles out of it and avoids the move, getting to his feet.}
Vasco Dias: "The champion was just a tad too quick for that submission hold. You have to think maybe the kid did his homework and scouted some submission holds."
Terri Morasco: "If I know Ryan Blade, I'm guessing he had someone else do the homework for him."
{Blade strikes Jacobsen with a boot to the head before he can get to his feet, putting him on his back on the mat. The champion moves about, stomping on every limb of his challenger in a Ronny Garvin-esque fashion, finishing up with a stomp to the skull. With AJ down, Blade lowers his kneepad below his knee and hits the ropes, jumping and going with for the Knee Drop, but Jacobsen rolls out of the way. Blade's exposed knee hits the mat and he stands up in pain, where Andrew quickly pounces with some pointed kicks to the pained leg. The Minnesotan picks his opponent up and holds his leg, dropping Blade down across his own leg with a Kneebreaker. Jacobsen grabs Blade's leg as the young star uses the ropes to raise himself to a vertical base. AJ pulls Blade back from the ropes, and the champion responds by jumping in the air and hitting a Jumping Enziguiri that catches Jacobsen in the ear. Blade gets to his feet and sees that Jacobsen is staggered, before hitting a boot to the gut and bouncing off the ropes, leapfrogging Andrew and driving his head into the mat, nailing his signature FACE! BUSTER! maneuver.}
Terri Morasco: "Big time move from Ryan Blade. This kid has quite a few tricks up his sleeve."
Vasco Dias: "The best always do, Terri."
{Ryan helps Jacobsen to his feet and immediately grabs him from behind, locking on an old favorite, the Sleeper Hold. Jacobsen tries to fight out of the move, trying to break the hold. After a few moments of this move, Jacobsen finally reaches back and grabs Blade's head before dropping down and hitting him with a modified Jawbreaker to break the Sleeper. Blade stumbles back and Jacobsen gets to his feet, spying the momentarily stunned, Blade. Jacobsen goes to hit the ropes, not seeing as Blade follows behind, hitting the ropes as well. Jacobsen turns around and is turned inside out by Ryan Blade's Rebound Lariat. Blade smirks out to the crowd and points at his head, signifying he was thinking one step ahead of the challenger on that exchange. Blade lifts Jacobsen up and guides him towards the ropes, lifting and dropping him across the rope before slinging him back to the mat with a Slingshot Suplex. With the opponent down, Blade steps out through the ropes and onto the apron before looking back in the ring as Jacobsen gets to his feet. Blade jumps up and springboards onto the top rope, and as he does, the knee Jacobsen had been working on gives him pause. He leaps from the top looking for his Death Blow... but Andrew counters and nearly beheads him with the Gordie Howe Special!}
Terri Morasco: "Oh my gosh that Uppercut is brutal! Blade's head flew back like he was a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot!"
Vasco Dias: "Or like a human Pez Dispenser. What a counter by the challenger!"
{While Jacobsen gets his bearings against the ropes, the referee starts the ten count on Ryan Blade. 1.... 2.... 3.... The champion starts to stir, getting to his hands and knees. 4...... 5...... 6....... 7..... Blade gets to his unsteady feet... where Jacobsen grabs him from behind and hits a German Suplex. The Minnesotan keeps his hands clasped and rolls both men to their feet, hitting a second German Suplex.... and then a third to complete the signature Hat Trick! With Blade incapacitated, Jacobsen drops down to the mat and twists the champion's arm and hooks it behind his head... slapping on the Lock and Dam! Jacobsen's Anaconda Vice hold puts the pressure on Blade's shoulder and neck as he leans back as far as possible for maximum effect!}
Vasco Dias: "The Lock and Dam! That used to be a finishing hold of Jacobsen's but he seemingly abandoned it. He's pulling out all the stops to win that Man of Steel Championship."
Terri Morasco: "It's too late to hold anything back now!"
{The referee comes in close to check for the submission as Blade does everything in his power to escape the hold. As the referee inches in closer, Blade, not thinking, grabs him by the collar and tosses him to the mat in an effort to avoid the submission loss, completely forgetting that he'll lose the belt by disqualification! As the referee gets up, angered, he prepares to signal for the bell, but Jacobsen breaks the hold and jumps up, stopping the referee's decision. The North Star pleads with the referee not to stop the match, not wanting the cheapened victory of winning by DQ. The man in the striped shirt finally agrees to let the match continue, but warns Jacobsen that he will disqualify Blade if anything happens again. While this is going on, the champion wisely gets to his feet and lies in waiting. When Jacobsen spins back around, Blade steps up to the second rope with one leg and springboards off, nailing Jacobsen in the side of the head with the Disaster Kick! Jacobsen drops to his knees and Washington hits the ropes, coming off with a lowered version of his signature Shot Through the Heart Leaping Knee Attack. Jacobsen flies violently back to the mat, and Blade grabs his knee, again taking the brunt of the damage on it.}
Vasco Dias: "Blade's moves are all so centered around his athletic ability. Jacobsen's decision earlier to focus on that knee is still paying off from time to time. Obviously it's not hurt bad enough to submit, but enough to slow the champion down."
Terri Morasco: "You don't get to be a world NCW World Champion by being a dummy, Vasco. Jacobsen might be down, but his gameplan is still taking place."
{After a quick rest, Blade sees his opportunity to finish Jacobsen off. As Jacobsen gets to his knees, Blade steps in front of him and delivers a stiff kick across the chest of the challenger. Blade then grabs him around the head and looks to lock on the Choke Job! But Jacobsen pushes up to his feet and lifts Blade up, and bullrushes him into the turnbuckles. He lifts Blade up and sets him up on the top turnbuckle before stepping up as well. The challenger drapes the champion's arm over his neck and jumps back from the top, sending Blade and himself crashing down with a huge Superplex! Both men are flat on their backs in the center of the ring as the referee starts his ten count again. 1..... 2..... 3...... 4...... Both wrestlers are on their hands and knees. 5..... 6...... 7...... 8...... 9..... Jacobsen and Blade both reach a vertical base and fight to keep themselves steady, stopping the referee's count. As they stare each other down, Blade hits a European Uppercut, and Jacobsen responds with one of his own... and then Blade hits another.... and then Jacobsen. Suddenly the two battle back-and-forth with Uppercuts in the center of the ring, with Jacobsen getting the advantage, hitting six straight rapidfire Uppercuts that back Blade into the ropes. Andrew tries to send Blade off with the Irish Whip, but Blade counters with a whip of his own. As Jacobsen rebounds, Blade leaps up for a huge Leaping DDT, but Jacobsen catches him and drills him into the mat with the Double A Spinebuster!}
Terri Morasco: "The sound of that thud is echoing throughout the arena!"
Vasco Dias: "Luckily for these two, I've got a great chiropractor I can set them up with. They're going to be feeling this one Monday morning."
{Jacobsen places Blade into a seated position and plants a knee in the middle of Blade's back before grabbing his arms and pulling them back, working the arms and the back with the Surfboard maneuver. Blade works to break free of the weardown hold, trying to get to his feet. Blade gets up with Jacobsen still holding his arms, and slams the back of his head into Jacobsen's breaking his grip. Ryan turns around and ducks around behind Jacobsen, hooking his arms and going for the Release Tiger Suplex... and somehow Jacobsen lands on his feet! Blade gets to a vertical base and unexpectedly runs into a Low Dropkick to the knee from Andrew. The champion drops to a knee again and Andrew grabs him and hooks him up for the Perfect-Plex, but Blade stands his ground and blocks the move and pulls free. Blade spins and goes for the Discus Clothesline, but Jacobsen ducks it and steps back, stepping forward for the Lights Out Superkick! Blade catches his foot and spins him around before leaping and latching onto Jacobsen's neck for the Choke Job! Before he can get it locked in fully, Jacobsen picks him up and pushes Blade up and away, sending him flying back. Blade lands on his feet and Jacobsen boots him in the gut and pulls him into Pumphandle positon... turning and drilling Blade with the Cold Snap!}
Vasco Dias: "What a series of back-and-forth action, but I think Jacobsen may have just sealed it with that devastating Pumphandle Backbreaker."
Terri Morasco: "It's not over until it's over. He still has to make this kid tap out!"
{The challenger gets to his feet first and looks down at Blade, ready to finish the match. Andrew moves around to Blade's legs and grabs both of them, stepping through and looking to lock on his finishing Sharpshooter, but Blade fights him and tries to scurry away. Seeing that Blade isn't going into the Sharpshooter yet, instead hooks the legs and drops down, sending Ryan flying facefirst into the top turnbuckle. Blade's head collides with the buckle and he stumbles backwards, clearly out of it. AJ performs a Double Leg Takedown and sends Blade back to the mat, again looking for the Sharpshooter. Jacobsen hooks up the legs and rolls Blade over onto his stomach... SHARPSHOOTER! Jacobsen's finishing submission hold is locked onto the champion, and panic washes over Blade's face as is forced to attempt to break this vicious hold.}
Terri Morasco: "The Sharpshooter! It's locked in! This could be it!"
{Blade fights with all his energy to try and escape the hold, pushing on his elbows to try and turn back onto his back. The champion starts to get himself turned over, forcing Jacobsen to follow suit and try to reapply the pressure on Blade's legs and back. Ryan struggles to try and get out of the move, and Jacobsen leans down to get better leverage... and Blade reaches up and grabs Jacobsen's head, getting him in Guillotine Choke position! Blade uses his positioning and his hold of Jacobsen's neck to flip him over and switch positions, so Blade is on top, stilling trying to fully lock on the Guillotine. Andrew gets to his knees and Blade follows, still working on getting the hold on. Jacobsen fights the move with body shots, breaking the champion's grip and freeing himself. Jacobsen throws another punch at Blade, but the quicker man ducks it and hits Jacobsen with a boot to the gut as he turns around before hitting the ropes.... and drilling Jacobsen into the mat with the Derek Vinyard Special Stomp! The force of Jacobsen's head colliding with the mat sends him flying back, to a position where he's out of it on his knees.... allowing Blade to dive in and hook his arm around Jacobsen's neck and wrap his legs around Jacobsen's waist.... locking on the Choke Job!}
Vasco Dias: "And now it's the Choke Job! There's no escaping that devastating choke!"
{Ryan falls back to the mat while choking the life out of his challenger, as Jacobsen fights to break free. Jacobsen uses his last bit of energy to reach out, but there's nowhere to go... Forcing Jacobsen to tap out!}
Alison Valance: "Here is your winner.... and STILL the Imperial Wrestling Man of Steel Champion.... RYAN BLADE!"
{'The Collapse' hits in the arena as Blade holds onto the choke for a few seconds longer for good measure. Finally releasing the move, he lays back on the mat and catches his breath. Blade finally gets to his feet and has arm raised in victory as Chelsea climbs into the ring with the championship belt and gives Ryan a big hug around the waist.}
Vasco Dias: "Ryan Blade has successfully defended his title against the man many consider to be the gold standard of submission wrestling. Can we safely say Ryan Blade has surpassed him with that honor?"
Terri Morasco: "I don't know about all of that, but I do know that Blade just took out one of the most accomplished wrestlers on the planet! This kid just keeps impressing us every week!"
Vasco Dias: "He calls himself the 'Sure Thing', and I think he just may be as advertised!"
{Blade drapes the title over his shoulder and pulls his girlfriend in close as the referee checks on the fallen Andrew Jacobsen. We go to replays of the action as Blade climbs to the second rope and holds his belt out to celebrate in front of the crowd.}
Terri Morasco: "It's going to take a lot to get that championship away from Ryan, and Andrew Jacobsen didn't have what it took here tonight. He was a game challenger, but this Blade is something special."
Vasco Dias: "He did it again. IWF fans; Ryan Blade is still your Man of Steel ."
{Blade backs up the ramp, holding the belt high above his head as Chelsea hangs onto him. He looks back to the ring and sees Jacobsen stirring, which garners a satisfied smirk from the champion as we fade out.}

MATCH IWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP STREET FIGHT Xavier Cross (c) vs Xander Famularo
---------------------------------------------------------- Vasco Dias: “Here we go ladies and gentlemen, the next match is a street fight between The Gladiator and the Phoenix. Xander Famularo versus Xavier Cross.” Terri Morasco: “This is to go down in history as one of the bloodiest events in IWF history, but this match has become about more than just the Heavyweight Title.” Vasco Dias: “You know match is going to get violent, when the idea of being a champion takes a backseat to wanting to hurt your opponent.” Terri Morasco: “Put your kids to bed parents, these two men are going to get American History X violent tonight.” {The lights dim, the intro to “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy stars playing through the PA system, the fans hop to their feet, and start screaming. Out from the curtain steps Xavier Cross, more focused than ever. The Heavyweight Title over his shoulder, he doesn’t do his usually interactions with the fans, and the pyro has been cut from his entrance. Xavier calmly makes his way down to the ring, sliding into the center, picking himself up. He looks over at the referee, before handing him the IWF Heavyweight Title, his attention turns back to the curtain.}Vasco Dias: “Cross is usually more interactive with the crowd. Look at that focus...” Teri Morasco: “He realizes that this match, could very well be his last. Xander is out for blood, and he usually gets what he wants.” Vasco Dias: “However, could Xander’s plan backfire on him tonight? Could Xavier Cross have a stronger blood lust?” Terri Morasco: “That’s highly doubtful Vasco, highly.” {‘Mother’ by Danzig echoes through the PA System, as Xander Famularo slowly walks out from behind the curtains. He doesn’t hold his arms up, he doesn’t acknowledge the chorus of boos raining down from the arena. Xander carefully makes his way down the ramp.}Vasco Dias: “Xavier Cross isn’t waiting! There he goes!” {Xavier Cross has jumped out of the ring, and his charging up the ramp meeting Xander half way, the music cuts, and the bell rings. The fans are on their feet. Xavier with right, Xander with a right, Xavier with a right, Xander with a right. The two men are exchanging blows, neither backing down. Xander cocks back, throwing a hard right. Xavier ducks underneath. The Gladiator spings around, as Xavier hits him with a drop kick sending Xander backwards into the barricade. Cross is back on his feet, charging forward, but Xander ducks, flipping Xavier over the barricade, into the crowd, and onto the concrete floor below.} Terri Morasco: “Holy crap...” Vasco Dias: “There is no love loss here, closed fist punches, unforgiving concrete.” {Xander looks over the barricade, not seeing Cross, who comes directly up from underneath him, with an uppercut, sending the big fella staggering backwards. Cross takes a few steps back, running forward Cross leaps onto the top of the barricade, into the air he flies at Xander. Who looks up just in time to catch Cross in the air. Xander applies pressure with a bear hug, before picking Xavier up higher before slamming him downwards onto the metal entrance ramp with a powerslam.}Vasco Dias: “Sweet mercy. Did you hear that impact?” Terri Morasco: “Xander is going to break Xavier in half.” {Cross is clutching his back, as Xander stands over the destruction, a sadistic grin on his face. Leaning down, Xander grabs Xavier by the nose, forcing Cross to return to his feet. Grabbing Xavier by the back of the head, he walks in down the rest of the ramp, towards the apron. Slamming Xavier’s head against the side of the ring. Cross staggers back, as Xander stand there looking at Cross, charging forward, Xander levels Xavier with a vicious lariat} Vasco Dias: “Cross won’t be worth much if he keeps bouncing off the floor. Terri Morasco: “He keeps getting back up, no matter how hard Xander keeps putting him down.” Vasco Dias: “Doesn’t matter, you swing a hammer at a stone, the stone will break.” Terri Morasco: “Or the handle of the hammer shatters...” {Xavier rolls over, pushing himself to his knees, Xander sends a hard kick to the side of Cross’s ribs, rolling Xavier over back onto his back, as he clutches his ribs. Leaning down, Xander slaps Xavier across the face, before grabbing him by the hair, forcing Xavier to return to his feet. Xander goes to throw a hard right, but Cross ducks. Crack. Cross manages to swing a low kick to the knee of Xander, but the Gladiator doesn’t stagger. Cross sends another hard kick, nothing. Following up, Xavier throws left jab, right jab, left jab again. Xander stands there smiling, taking the abuse. Cross musters up more energy, attempting to connect with a european upper cut. But Xander reaches out, grabbing his arm, twisting it behind Xavier’s back, before lifting him up into a german suplex. Cross hits back first on the ground, rolling over clutching his back. Xander sits up, his sadistic smile still resting on his lip}Vasco Dias: “This isn’t a match, this is the massacre of Xavier Cross.” Terri Morasco: “Xander is clearly in the advantage, but what does this say about the Heavyweight Division with such a superstar as Xander Famularo?” Vasco Dias: “If Xavier doesn’t win, someone else will step up, Xander isn’t easily beaten, it will take a special man to take him down.” Terri Morasco: “Xavier Cross feeds off the underdog aspect, maybe he can turn this around.” Vasco Dias: “If Xander doesn’t break his neck, or his back. His neck and his back...” {Xander returns Cross to his feet, sending a hard right, before pushing him into the steel steps. Cross hits it back first, managing to keep himself up by holding onto the same thing that punished him. Xander carefully walks over, eyeing Cross with dangerous intent. Xavier pops up, and swings catching Xander off guard at the sudden attack. Xander staggers bit, holding his lip, a small trail of blood behind him. Shaking it off, Xander lunges forward but Xavier side steps, pushing Xander headfirst into ring post. Xander’s skull clanks off it, as Xavier charges forward leaping into the air catching Xander in the side of the head with an enziguri, sending the big man crashing over}Vasco Dias: “Cross with some offense! He needs to stay on him if he has any chance.” Terri Morasco: “Xavier is digging down deep, this match has been one sided from the start, and Xavier has been at the brunt of all the attacks.” Vasco Dias: “I wrote him off too son, Xavier Cross has some fight left in the tank.” Terri Morasco: “Not as outclassed as you thought he was, eh?” {Xavier is laying on the ground, laughing to himself trying to pick himself up, ignoring the pain. His hand digs underneath the ring. Sliding out a metal baseball bat, he clutches it in his hands, using it to help himself back to his feet. Xander is stirring, picking himself up holding the side of his head. Cross steps forward aiming to hit Xander in the stomach with the head of the bat. The impact forces Xander to lean over. Cross swings the bat around, catching Xander in the back of the leg, forcing him down onto one knee. Cross brings the bat down across the back of Xander, before dropping the weapon. Xander leans backwards, almost soaking it up, as the big man stands straight up to Xavier’s surprise.}Vasco Dias: “No way....Xander...” Terri Morasco: “He is a monster...” {Cross swings the bat once more, but Xander grabs it, ripping it away from Cross, throwing it on the ground. Xavier stumbles back, a little shocked as Xander steps forward, grabbing him, sending a knee into Xavier’s gut. Lifting Xavier up into a Suplex, Xander shows his strength holding Cross in the air, before slamming him forward, gut first onto the barricade. Cross spits up blood, as he tries to move himself from the barrier, but Xander doesn’t give him time, as the Gladiator hits Cross his a big boot to the side of the head, sending the Champion the rest of the way over the barricade.}Terri Morasco: “Xavier Cross is going to have some serious medical problems after this match. Vasco Dias: “He’s gonna be lucky to walk out on his own power, it seems like Xander is toying with him now.” {Xander steps over the barricade, Cross is trying to pick himself up. But Xander places his boot on the head of Xavier Cross, forcing his skull into the pavement, before stepping over the man. Xander reaches down, helping Xavier back to his feet, before pulling him close for another knee to the gut. Xander grabs Xavier, as the two men work through the crowd back, Cross swings at Xanders gut, but Xander just clubs down across Xavier’s back. Xander grabs Cross, looking to hit a DDT, but Cross shoves him forward back towards the barricade, slamming Xander’s back across it. Cross pops up and starts through hard lefts and rights, forcing Xander backwards over the barricade. Cross steps back leaping across it, before hitting a moonsault off the barricade onto Xander.}Vasco Dias: “That looked like a rough neck version of the B/S/T Combo Cross likes to use!” Terri Morasco: “Cross will not die, he keeps coming at Xander with everything he has.” {Cross picks himself up, he’s a wounded animal. Looking around, Cross reaches under the mat. Pulling out a chain, spinning it around in his hands. He looks down at Xander, picking himself up. Cross quickly swings the chain down across the back of Xander, who flinches a bit, but starts to rise to his feet. Cross swings again, catching Xander in the gut. The big fella staggers forward as Cross goes to swing the chain again, Xander holds his arm up, as the chain gets wrapped around it. Jerking his arm forward, Xavier Cross basically walks into A Widowmaker, dropping on his back immediately. Xander drops to his knees, going for a pinfall}1...2... {Xander picks Xavier up, back to his feet, looking to line up another WidowMaker, this time with the chain wrapped around his fist. The camera shows that Cross is busted open from the first strike. Xander throws it, but Cross ducks, Xander spins around and is caught with a jab, staggering him for the first time. Xavier follows up with a left, and another right, and another right hand. Xavier Cross is on fire, as he quickly hits a dropkick that sends Xander stagger into the the steel steps. Cross pops up, charging forward hitting his Link to the Past, Shining Wizard, cracking Xander’s skull against the ring post.}Vasco Dias: “Good lord, I thought the Widow Maker was going to crack Xavier’s skull.” Terri Morasco: “Did you hear the impact of the Link to the Past, a tribute to his ex-girlfriend, Zelda Knite.” Vasco Dias: “We don’t say that name...It’s She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.” Terri Morasco: “I hate you, I miss Trent.” Vasco Dias: “We don’t say that name either, we say Douche-Bag” Terri Morasco: “You’ve gotten a lot more jerk-ish since he left...” Vasco Dias: “I miss him... NOT!” {Xavier quickly rolls into the ring, getting distance between Xander and himself, after taking the punishment he has, coming at Xander right now would be a mistake, and he needed a bit of rest. Xander picks himself out, a small cut on the side of his head. The two make eye contact, as Cross charges forward, diving through the ring ropes, hitting a suicide dive, as both men crash into the barricade.}Vasco Dias: “Cross looks a lot the old him, the high risk...” Terri Morasco: “He has to pull out everything against Xander, even gravity.” {Both men stir, Xavier is the first to his feet, grabbing Xander, rolling him into the ring. Cross bounces off the ropes, hitting a sliding drop kick sending Xander rolling into the corner post. Cross run up, stepping up on the second rope, grabbing on before swinging down wards, kicking Xander’s side into the ring post. Cross doesn’t let go, springboarding off the ropes, looking to hit a leg drop, but Xander moves his head out of the way as Xavier crashes to the floor. Xander picks himself up, holding his side}Vasco Dias: “Did Cross hurt the big man?” Terri Morasco: “Or just piss him off even more...” {Cross stands, clutching his lower back in agony, but Xander’s big hand reaches over the ropes, grabbing at Xavier’s head forcing Xavier to climb up to the apron. But Cross throws a hard left, and right, catching Xander off guard, staggering the big guy backwards. Cross leaps to the top rope, lunging forward, looking to catch Xander in the hurricarana, but Xander catches him. Cross’s face instantly fills with fear, as he shakes, knowing he is in perfect position for the Mushroom Cloud.}Vasco Dias: “It’s over! It’s over!” {Xander tries to throw him, but Cross slides down Xander’s back. Cross wraps his arms underneath, turning the big man around and quickling hitting the Crossiifixion. Xavier looks wide eye as he managed to put Xander down with his finisher, flippin the big fellow over, Xavier Cross hooks the leg for the three count.}1...2... {Xander throws his arm up, managing to get it up at the last second. Xavier rolls over, holding his head, trying to figure out what he could do to pick the monster up. Looking over at Xander, who immediately sits up, angrier than ever. Cross rolls over, the blood now pour over his face, he stands up staggering back into the ring ropes, immediately his arms get tied up. Xander has a sadistic grin back on his face, as he walks over to Cross before digging his thumb into the wound on the forehead of Xavier Cross.}Xander Famurlaro: “Give up you pathetic piece of shit.” Xavier Cross: “NO! FUCK YOU!” {Xander digs his thumb deeper into the wound, the blood oozing onto his fingers, as Xavier Cross screams out. The ref tries to get in between the two men, but Xander draws back hitting the referee with the Widowmaker, knocking the schlub out cold. Xavier spits out at Xander, covering him with blood.}Xavier Cross: “LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU PUSSY!” {Xander’s head snaps back towards Xavier, who kicks upwards, trying to get Xander’s attention, barely grazing the large man. Xander steps forward, cracking Xavier in the head with a hard right, before sliding out of the ring, to grab the World Heavyweight Title.}Xander Famurlaro: “This is mine Xavier, I took this from you, and I will take everything from you. You don’t deserve anything you have. You’re an idiot. A pathetic waste of air, of every breath you take is an insult to me.” {Xander, clutches the belt in his hand, before charging forward hitting Cross in the head with a Heavyweight Widowmaker. Cross is now unconscious, bound in the ropes, hanging there, as the blood leaks from his face like a broken faucet. Xander looks over at the ref, realizing the man is still knocked out as well. This infuriates Xander, who drops the title, picking the refree up and sending him into the corner with a Mushroom Cloud. Xander looks furious, as they hand him a microphone.}Xander Famularo: “Get another zebra out here. Now!” Vasco Dias: “We’re hearing from the back that every referee on staff is refusing to come out, after what Xander did to this one.” {The bell rings, and Vasco Dias stands up with a microphone.}Vasco Dias: “This match is being held to a No-Contest due to the lack of an official..Sorry..” {Dias quickly hides behind the desk, as Xander explodes in fury in the ring. Grabbing the limp Xavier Cross, lifting him up into the Mushroom Cloud, he side steps, throwing Xavier out of the ring, back into the ring post, as Cross slams against the mat. Xander walks over, kicking the referee out of the ring. Xander picks up the Heavyweight Title, before throwing it out of the ring, and on top of Xavier Cross, before going to exit.}{“Battle of Heroes by John Williams hits the PA system, as Will Washington steps out from the back.}Will Washington: “Xander! This match is over. You touch Xavier Cross again, and you’re fired!” {Xander eyes Cross, before looking up at Will, before shaking his head, picking up the Heavyweight Title, he holds it up to a chorus of boos, before dropping the title back on Xavier, before walking up the steps. He stops at Will Washington, getting in his face.}Xander Famularo: “Fix this. Fix this now. Fix this fast.” Vasco Dias: “Jesus...mother loving Chris...” Terri Morasco: “Someone call two ambulances, Xavier and the Referee are both out...” {Will makes his way down to Cross, before radioing to the back with his walkee, as EMT’s rush down the ramp, carrying Xavier Cross to the back in a stretcher.}Vasco Dias: “...Let’s take a look at some promos for the other events tonight..We hope Xavier Cross is okay...” ----------------------------------------------------------
MATCH IWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP PRISON YARD MATCH InFamous (c) vs Criminal Intent
---------------------------------------------------------- Vasco Dias: I have looked forward to this, it could be really... really... REALLY brutal. Terri Morasco: This feud got personal as Criminal Intent made sure that InFamous didn't underestimate them. This match it perfect for these two challengers, can they rip that gold from the waits of InFamous? { As the drums and didgeridoo kick in, Cyrus Daniels and Stephen Kingsley walk to the ring as two men side by side with a purpose, Cyrus looks out at the sea of free people around the arena with a noticable look of disdain, whilst his partner, Stephen seems to be the more cheery of the two, providing a stark contrast to the sombre mood of Cyrus with the his million dollar grin. Cyrus uses the ropes to pull himself onto the apron and step over the ropes whilst Stephen uses the steps and before he steps into the ring, Stephen takes off his corked hat as an acknowledgement to the crowd, but Cyrus seems disinterested in engaging with them on any level, he just wants the match to start. }Vasco Dias: Look at these two... sheesh, even I wouldn't mess with these guys.
Terri Morasco: Both men have proven themselves to be very ruthless when push comes to shove, they wanted the belts, and they're coming to take them.{ Villain by Theory of a Deadman hits the PA as both Rob Diamond and Spike Kane step through the curtain. The crowd has a mixed reaction for both members of InFamous as the two just over see the arena before heading down the ramp. Spike walks up the steps as Rob rolls in under the ropes. Both men take to a corner of the ring, Rob reaches high up into the air and tells the world to SUCK IT! Spike just glares at the fans. They jump down and wait for the match to start. }
Terri Morasco: Here come the defending champions, but the odds are not in their favour tonight, in my opinion. Vasco Dias: They're going to have to do something special to make it out even alive let alone as defending champions. { The cage door is closed and the two teams now stand across from each other ready to begin the match. The official stands in front of the “prison” and holds the IWF tag team championships into the air making sure the entire world knows what exactly these four men are about to put themselves through hell for. With the ring of the bell the action inside the Prison explodes as Stephen Kingsley and Rob Diamond collide in the middle of the ring, as does Cyrus Daniels and Spike Kane. Fists fly wildly as all four men attempt to take their frustrations that have built over the last month out on each other. Daniels gets the advantage over Spike after a knee to the gut, followed by a swift knee to the face, taking the God of Xtreme down to the ground. Whilst Rob Diamond has managed to gain the upper hand over Kingsley. Rob whips Stephen off the ropes, and nails a diving forearm on the return, and as Kingsley goes down Diamond continues his run and springboards off the middle rope with a huge moonsault back onto Kingsley. }
Terri Morasco: Big move from Diamond, the momentum is swinging back and forth here.
Vasco Dias: Good start to what promises to be a really big match!{ Cyrus has Spike in the corner on his ass, Daniels delivering shot after shot to the almost defenceless as the larger man reigns down the shots, but out of nowhere Spike catches one and in a swift motion delivers a thunderous low blow! Cyrus staggers backwards and to a knee, giving Spike the chance to rise to his feet and clobber Cyrus Daniels with a shining wizard with venom in the impact! }
Vasco Dias: Wow, that was incredibly nasty from Spike Kane! This is so very personal! Terri Morasco: After the way these two behaved, can you blame him? { Spike rises back to his feet to see Rob doing the same and the two share a smirk as the goons outside start to throw some weapons into the ring. One of them throws a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, and another throws a steel chair in, one attempts to throw a table but it gets caught in the barbed wire and doesn’t reach the ring. Spike grabs the bat, and Rob grabs the steel chair. The crowd are going nuts as they are waiting for their heroes to finally get the revenge they desperately want. }
Terri Morasco: Oh my.... this is going to get ugly. Vasco Dias: This is going to get AWESOME! { Spike walks towards Cyrus who is slowly getting to his feet and as he turns around Spike swings for the fences with the bat, but Cyrus ducks underneath and scoops Spike up from behind, lifting him up and then stepping backwards and dropping Spike into the cage. Rob doesn’t see this though as he’s taunting Kingsley who is slowly getting to his feet. Rob brings the chair backwards and is just about to swing when Cyrus grabs the chair from behind and stops Rob from swinging. Rob stops in an almost comical fashion as he turns to face the grinning Daniels who now holds the steel chair in his hands and cocks his head, before slamming the chair into Rob’s face. }
Vasco Dias: God damn... Terri Morasco: Well, we knew what we were getting, but still, thing are getting gruesome. { Rob lays on the floor as blood starts to trickle down his face. Cyrus directs traffic as Criminal Intent drag Rob Diamond to his feet and the two whip him incredibly hard across the ring and face first into the cage wall. The cage bends as Rob’s face smashes into it. The blood now spills freely over Rob, as Cyrus goes to drag him up. Kingsley stalks over to Spike who is back on his feet now. Spike swings a wild right for Stephen, but he ducks under it and hits the ropes coming back with a massive big boot to the face of Spike. }
Vasco Dias: The big dogs in the yard are taking back their territory, these two are plain terrifying. Terri Morasco: These sick bastards... I can't believe my eyes. { Kingsley smirks as he stands over the fallen Spike Kane just as one of the gang members throws in a trash can full of weapons, which almost knocks down the table that is caught in the barbed wire. Kingsley looks up to catch the trash can, but Spike pounces and grabs the legs of Kingsley taking him down to the matt and forcing him to drop the trash can, before sliding over and locking in his patented submission maneuver, All Hope is Lost (Anaconda Vice) Kingsley flaps about in pain trying to break free, whilst his partner deals with Rob Diamond. }
Vasco Dias: Things got cranked up a notch here! Chaos! Terri Morasco: It is back and forth action, who can really take advantage? { On the other side of the ring Cyrus is toying with Diamond as he drags him to his feet, he sends a right to the face of the Xtreme American Dream, and Rob sourcing his rage sends one right back much to the delight of the crowd. Cyrus staggers a little, at the effort Rob sends his way, but is up to the challenge and sends another right back at Rob. This time Rob drops to a knee, but rises straight back up and throws another wild right right into Cyrus’ face before Daniels takes the low road and knees Rob in the gut. He grabs him and whips him to the ropes, but Rob jumps to the ropes and flips backwards arching over Cyrus and catching his head with a springboard tornado DDT. }
Vasco Dias: This is a very high quality match, tense action, no clue on who may win, fantastic. Terri Morasco: It may take a moment of extreme brutality to close it out. { For the first time in the match InFamous have the upper hand. Spike lets go of Kingsley to see his partner on his feet. The two make eye contact and start to head towards the cage door. The official opens it wide, ready for Spike and Rob to step out but they both stop. They look at the door, then back at their foes. Rob looks up to the crowd who are on their feet, he points to the door and a small cheer breaks out, then he points to Criminal Intent and a huge cheer breaks out. Spike and Rob nod at each other before they tell the ref to close the door and head back into the ring to a massive roar and round of applause from the crowd, even some of the gang members at ringside. }
Terri Morasco: Wow, can you heat that noise!? Vasco Dias: This could be about to blow up big time! { Spike points at Kingsley and the two of them go after him. Spike knees him in the head just as he slowly started to make it to all fours, and Rob grabs the trash can, pulling out two kendo sticks. He throws one to Spike and then smirks as between them they grab Kingsley to his feet and lift the trash can over his head. InFamous then proceed to smash the crap out of the trash can over Kingsley’s head. Spike and Rob seem to be having a whale of a time when suddenly a steel chair flies from across the ring, as Cyrus rises to his feet hitting Spike with the chair and then sprinting across the ring and spearing Rob Diamond into the cage wall itself. }
Vasco Dias: That InFamous revival was shortlived! Terri Morasco: You can never count these monsters out, never. { Daniels drags the trash can off of his partner and starts shouting at him, spittle flying from his mouth. Daniels is obviously peeved that he has to work so hard to cover his partners back. Just as this happens one of the gang members tries to throw a steel pipe into the ring, but it hits the table that was dangling and it finally slides into the ring, dragging a lot of the barbed wire down with it. Cyrus looks up with a smirk and points it out to his tag team partner. } Terri Morasco: Oh no... Vasco Dias: Yes! Brilliant! { Daniels grabs Spike to his feet, and we see that Spike has a cut in the side of his face that is absolutely pouring blood. Cyrus doesn’t care as he grabs Spike and ties his arms in the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, followed by Kingsley doing the same to Rob Diamond. The tag team champions struggle to break free as Criminal Intent head towards the door to leave and capture the tag team gold, but Kingsley stops Daniels, smirking and pointing to the damaged part of the cage and nodding. Cyrus looks at Spike and Rob and smirks heading towards the area. He turns and crotch chops towards InFamous as the two men begin to climb. } Vasco Dias: Ouch, that has to hurt. Mocked with your own taunt... Terri Morasco: Can these two do it? { Cyrus is first to get to the top and he swings his legs over, but Kingsley seems to be struggling a little. He uses the table to try and get some advantage, but Spike and Rob have broken free. Kingsley is almost up, and Daniels see’s the trouble. He shouts to warn his partner, but Rob dives into the cage forcing Daniels to fall off the cage and land torso first onto the security barrier. Spike yanks the table out from underneath Kingsley, and he falls throat first onto the ropes. He bounces back to the floor clutching at his neck in pain. The crowd are exploding for the action here, and realise that Criminal Intent are halfway there to winning the titles. }
Terri Morasco: No, I can't support these two, come on InFamous! Vasco Dias: Xenophobe. { Spike looks to Rob and the two of them grin wildly as they realise that Daniels is for all intents and purposes now out of this match. Rob looks up with a broad smile on his face and the crowd are fully behind InFamous right now. Spike drags the table into the middle of the ring and sets the table up. Cyrus is now on his feet realising what happened, he starts slamming his hands on the cage and tries to get in, but the gang members keep him away from the door. } Vasco Dias: This is getting intense, who can do it!? Terri Morasco: I don't know, I simply can't guess on this one. { Spike and Rob start to stomp and slap at Stephen Kingsley, taking advantage of him and their numbers game. Cyrus is shouting bile from ringside at both Rob and Spike, and actually shouting at Stephen too. The match could have been won. Spike signals to Rob to grab the barbed wire that had fallen off the cage and wrap it around the table whilst he hefted Kingsley onto the top turnbuckle. Kingsley sends a wild elbow to Spike’s temple and almost knocks him off balance but Rob clubs him in the back and puts an end to it. Rob then heads towards the door and gets the ref to open the door just as Spike lifts off of the turnbuckle having lifted Kingsley vertical and.....WITH A SICKENING CRASH!!!! Spike Impailer from the turnbuckle through the table. Spike writhes in agony, his elbow and back taking a lot of the impact, but Rob helps him up to his feet. }
Vasco Dias: Sweet... jesus... Terri Morasco: This is carnage, complete and utter carnage! These men are breaking themselves for these belts! { Rob drags Spike towards the doors, and staring into the eyes of Cyrus Daniels they climb out of the ring. Cyrus’ face is screwed up in a ball of rage, but he doesn’t fight against the blockade, he simply.....let’s InFamous pass, as the official hands them their tag team titles. Rob and Spike smirck, extremely proud of themselves as they raise them into the air whilst heading up the ramp as “Villain” blasts out of the sound system. }
Vasco Dias: Massive props to this two, wow, what a performance! But... what the hell? Terri Morasco: What a curious end to a brutal match. { Cyrus now moves towards the ring, the gang members part ways and start to head backstage as Cyrus climbs into the ring, the cage walls lifting and starting to ascend. Daniels moves towards his fallen comrade and tries to pull the pieces of broken table and barbed wire away from his former cellmate. He takes the time to help his partner to his feet, blood dripping from Kingsley’s torso. Cyrus then starts to shout at Kingsley, blaming them for their loss. He keeps shouting that Stephen is the weak link, that Cyrus always has to carry him. He shoves him hard, and Kingsley looks angry and confused, suddenly Nicole Kingsley rushes to the ring and slides in. She gets between her brother and her lover asking them not to fight, and it seems like Cyrus heeds her call and backs down. }
Vasco Dias: Cold man... so damn cold. Terri Morasco: I can't believe my eyes, Cyrus has flipped! { Stephen approaches his sister and starts trying to talk to her, when suddenly she rounds and SMACK! One hell of a slap across the face of Stephen Kingsley! Cyrus moves swiftly across the ring before Kingsley can react and hefts his former partner into the air and onto his shoulders before....PRICE OF FREEDOM (F-5)! Cyrus snarls down at Stephen Kingsley before putting his arm around Nicole Kingsley, the two of them leaving the broken wreck of Stephen behind whilst “Bali Doo” plays over the sound system. }Vasco Dias: This... this isn't over, not by a long shot.
Terri Morasco: What a awful sight, simply awful.

MATCH DIAMOND'S CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH Jessica Reed vs Kathleen Conway
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: It's the moment we've all been waiting for. The IWF Heiress to the throne FINALS!!!! This match will determine the first ever Diamond's Champion! Vasco Dias: We saw both Kathy Conway and Jessica Reed fight through two extremely brutal matches to get here tonight and now one of them will walk away as the first ever Diamond's Champion. Terri Morasco: I'd be lying if I said I didn't have goose bumps going into this. I am very excited as should both Kathy and Jess. Earlier tonight we saw Kathy fight for the honor of her sister as she waged war with Eternity. Eternity it seems gave Kathy that little extra something to push her into position to claim her first major title in her career! { The lights in the arena start to twinkle like diamonds, green, purple and red with the melodic holler and drum beat of ''Black and Silver" by Xandria. The chords of an organ punctuate the words as Kathleen Conway appears on the stage with one hand on her right hip and her husband, The Ace by her side. She begins her walk down the ramp, alongside her huband, Kathy has a smile on her face. At the foot of the ramp the couple share a kiss before Kathy gets to the ring and climbs on to the apron with her back to the ropes, she drops to one knee. She holds onto the ropes behind her as she flips her hair to the side and winks at The Ace before standing up and climbing through the middle rope into the ring. She walks to the middle and flips her hair again with a hand on her hip as the lights return to normal and the music fades. }Vasco Dias: Kathy looks as ready as she's ever going to be after her match earlier tonight.
Terri Morasco: Absolutely. Luckily for her, Jessica Reed had a pretty tough opponent herself that she was able to overcome to get here! { "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA as Jessica Reed steps out to a huge roar from the crowd. She looks all around and smiles before running down to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope. She jumps up and throws up her fist up in the air! }Terri Morasco: If Jess is spent from earlier you wouldn't be able to tell because she looks pumped and ready to go!
Vasco Dias: She looks ready but once that bell rings and these two start going at it I'm sure the fatigue will set in.{ The bell sounds and Kathy moves slowly out of her corner, sizing up Jess. Kathy goes to lock up with her but Jess gets underneath her arms and goes right to the ropes where she spring boards off and catches Kathy with a flying forearm! Kathy stumbles back as Jess hits the ropes and comes back with a running shoulder block that sends Kathy to the mat. Kathy gets up quick and Jess hits another spring board and nails KAthy with a drop kick that sends her rolling over backward. Kathy tries to get up but Jess is on her with a running drop kick that sends Kathy rolling to the outside of the ring. Jess is right up, grabs the top rope and sling shots herself up and over and catches Kathy with a flying cross body! }Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed is all over the place tonight!
Vasco Dias: Amazing she still has this kind of peep!{ Jess is right up and backs into the crowd to get a shot with some fans before running over and pulling Kathy up to her feet. She rolls Kathy into the ring and follows her in. Jess runs over Kathy, spring boards off the ropes and Kat gets up just in time to catch Jess in mid air with a SPEAR! Kathy mounts Jessica and begins to unload some rights and lefts of Jessica Reed! Kathy rolls off of Jess, pulls her up to her feet, hooks her around the shoulder and throws her over with a snap vertical suplex. Kathy gets back up and rips Jess off the mat and sends her into the corner. Kathy runs in with a clothes line in the corner then rams her shoulder into the midsection of Jessica before wrapping her around the waist and throwing her over head with a belly to belly suplex and bridging for a pin! ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Vasco Dias: Kathy is making a come back here and nearly ended the match already1
Terri Morasco: Jessica isn't going to back down here.{ Kathy pulls Jess back up and spins her around and grabd her again for a release German suplex! Jessica looks in serious pain now as her back has taken a beating the last few mintues. Kathy charges Jess and drops an elbow across her back before getting to her feet and pulling Jess up and right into a BACKBREAKER! Kathy smirks to herself as she looks at the fallen Jessica Reed. Jess starts to push herself up off the mat and Kathy comes off the ropes with the FAMEACER! Kathy rolls Jess over and covers. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! }Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed is in a bad way here, she needs to start mounting some offense before it's too late.
Vasco Dias: I told you the fatigue was going to set in. She came into this match a head full of steam and now she is out of gas. { Kathy pulls Jess up and lifts her into the air for the Kat Nap but Jess throws her legs back and lands on her feet and catches Kathy off guard with a stiff kick to the stomach and a DDT! Jess gets up as fast as she can, Kathy right behind her. Jessica connects with a leaping enzugiri that sends Kathy stumbling into the corner. Jess runs in with the shining wizard running knee followed right up with the bull dog out of the corner! Jess is right up, turns and hits the standing shooting star press!!! She covers Kathy. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Jessica gets up, hits the ropes. Kathy leaps to her feet and looks for a clothes line and Jessica gets under it, spring boards off the ropes and connects with a tornado ddt! Jessica gets up, heads to the corner and climbs up as fast as she can. Jess looks down and leaps off with the ROFLCopter! KATHY MOVES!!! }Vasco Dias: Just missed with the ROFLCopter!
Terri Morasco: Oh, so close to putting Kathy away right there.
Vasco Dias: That is exactly why I hate high fliers.{ Kathy is up, Jess tries to stand and Kathy hits her with a double axe handle that sends her down to the mat. Jess springs back up and Kathy hits several knife edge chops and drives Jess back into the corner. Kathy grabs the ropes and starts to hit some high knee lifts on Jess in the corner. She hits six before she allows Jess to slump out of the corner. Kathy grabs her around the waist and lifts her into the air with a pump handle slam right onto the mat. Kathy covers her. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Kathy looks for a submission attempt know and locks Jess into the four leaf clover! }Terri Morasco: Oh no, this could be all over!
Vasco Dias: Kathy is one of the best technical Diamonds on the roster and she's got Jessica right where she wants her.{ Jessica screams in the middle of the ring as Kathy keeps the hold locked in. Slowly Jessica begins to claw at the mat and pulls herself closer to the ropes as Kathy tries to keep her in the center of the ring. Jessica makes it to the ropes and the ref counts to four before breaking the hold. Kathy gets up and shakes her head as Jess roles to the outside. Kathy follows her out and grabs Jessica by the hair and spins her around and slams her face first into the ring post. Jess tumbles and Kathy picks her up in a bear hug and runs her into the post, further hurting her back. Jessica drops to her knees and Kathy connects with a running boot! }Terri Morasco: Jessica Reed is falling apart right now. Vasco Dias: Kathy Conway is breaking this woman's body and her will and soon enough she will be walking away as our Diamond's Champion.
Terri Morasco: I can't argue with you there.{ Kathy pulls Jess up and rams her into the guard rails back first and then whips her into the apron. Kathy rolls Jessica back into the ring and follows her in. Jessica crawls on the mat as Kathy looks to the corner. She smiles as she climbs the corner. }Vasco Dias: What is she doing?
Terri Morasco: Looks like she wants to add some insult to injury here.{ Kathy signals for the Fameacer off the top rope as Jess struggles to stand. Kathy jumps off and Jessica turns just in time to catch Kathy in mid air with a DROP KICK!!!! }Terri Morasco: OH! You can't ever count Jessica Reed out. Both women want this belt so badly!{ Jessica gets to her feet as Kathy rolls around in pain. Kathy starts to get up and Jessica comes off the ropes with a running neckbreaker! Jessica goes to the ropes again and spring boards off with a moonsult and hooks the leg. ONE! TWO! KICK OUT! Jessica gets right back up and Kathy is trying to stand as Jessica comes off the ropes with a running clothes line and then a running drop kick to the legs! Kathy drops down and Jess comes off the ropes with a cork screw elbow drop! }Terri Morasco: Jessica is mounting the come back here!
Vasco Dias: Kathy is in trouble she needs to get back in control of this match and ground Reed.{ Kathy staggers to her feet and catches Jessica off guard with a tilt a whirl back breaker as she comes off the ropes! Kathy stumbles and drops to a knee. Jessica is slow to her feet. Kathy grabs her from behind in a choke hold, trying to turn it into a chicken wing. Jessica fights her as best she can as Kathy chokes the life out of her. }Vasco Dias: Here we go, control the pace of the match, keep her off the ropes. { Jessica breaks an arm free and begins to drive her elbow into the side of the head of Kathy over and over and over again. Kathy lets go. Jess hits the ropes and both women collide in the middle of the ring with clothes lines! Both women are down now as the crowd "OOOOH" at the collision. } Terri Morasco: Oh my god, this is either woman's match if they can just get to their feet.
Vasco Dias: This match is close to over, I can feel it. Neither woman has much left to give.{ Jessica is slow to her feet but she's the first up. Kathy is still down, worn out. Jessica climbs the ropes and looks down as the crowd goes wild. Jessica leaps off with another leg drop and this time Kathy doesn't move as Jessica connects square in the middle of the ring. With literally nothing left she just lays limp on top of Kathy and ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Terri Morasco: JESSICA REED HAS DONE IT!!!!!
Vasco Dias: WE'VE GOT OUR FIRST DIAMOND'S CHAMPION!!!!{ The ref holds Jessica's hand up and gives her the Diamond's championship. She isn't even fully aware of whats happened yet. }Terri Morasco: What an intensely hard fought battle between Jessica Reed and Kathy Conway but in the end, Jessica Reed just managed to beat Kathy Conway and become our first Diamond's Champion. What an amazing match.
Vasco Dias: Truly one of the best matches of the night and next we name our first Imperial Champion. Crazy!{ Jessica finally comes too and sees the belt in her hands for the first time and begins to cry with joy as gold confetti falls down on her. She clutches the belt tightly and looks up at the sky and seems to be mouthing to herself before suddenly Tifa Heafy comes rushing down the ramp where she dives in and hugs her best friend who is incredibly emotional. The crowd start to chant Jess' name as she just breaks down again as she waves to them, clearly overcome by the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. }

MAIN EVENT IMPERIAL CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES MATCH Joe Everyman vs Lex Sense
---------------------------------------------------------- Terri Morasco: The time has come, ladies and gentlemen. After a grueling Heir to the Throne tournament it has come down to two men, one of which will be the first ever Imperial Champion. Vasco Dias: Definitely an exciting time. I have a feeling we are about to witness a match for the ages. {"Live To Rise", by Soundgarden starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. Joe Everyman comes out onto the stage, not as ecstatic as earlier as he is clearly sporting some injuries after facing Cable. Joe limps down the ramp, focused and determined and only slightly acknowledging the fans who cheer for him. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and instead of doing his normal entrance, Joe slides in through the bottom rope. Loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts as Joe warms his aching body for the test ahead of him.}Vasco Dias: Joe Everyman has truly impressed as of recent weeks. After a failed start he seems to have found himself in the Final Four and now the Finals themselves. What a shock it would be if he were to win? Terri Morasco: I wouldn't put it past him right now. He's been on one hell of a roll but not as much of a tear as his former partner turned rival. {The haunting strum of an acoustic guitar ushers in Mark Collie's, "In Time" as the ring is illuminated with a black light.}"I can tell what you're thinking, All your doubts and fears. And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find The reason I'm here." {The final words echo into the ether and the song transitions into the organs that intro "Destroy the World Around Me", by Mushroomhead. A wave of fog has begun to blanket the stage, traversing towards the crowd and ring. An audience stands still in anticipation, some frightened others enthralled. Sense raises up from underneath the stage, shirtless and also sporting fresh bruises. He stares out into a raucous audience that love to hate the man with no fear. Once risen, Sense steps through the pillars of fire that explode one after the other across the stage as the harsh drums, guitars and vocals blare throughout the arena. He stomps his way down the ramp to the beat of the drums, slapping himself in the face with a fiery intensity. Sense stalks around the corner of the ring before grabbing the top rope and pulling himself up and over and into the squared circle, releasing a primal scream that brings the fans into a near riot.}Terri Morasco: Lex Sense is so far undefeated and has some scary momentum. I just don't see Joe being able to withstand such raw strength and power. Vasco Dias: Stranger things have happened Terri. After a grueling match with Mike Laszlo, Sense may be more injured than he is letting on. Either way, the time has come to find the Imperial Title a waist to call home. {The giant Sense stares at Joe from across the ring with an intense fury that would cause any man to tremble. Everyman doesn't seem to be intimidated but is concerned as the bell rings. Joe begins moving about, expecting Lex to do the same only Lex does not. Lex simply continues with the sharp glare, cutting through Joe to the center of his core. Joe doesn't break eye contact, waving Sense on, taunting him to make the first move. Sense simply scoffs as he tightens the tape around his wrist.}Terri Morasco: Looks like Sense isn't in a hurry to start this match. Vasco Dias: Joe took one hell of a beating earlier against Cable. I think Sense knows he has this thing won. {Joe continues with the taunts, eventually holding his hands up as he bravely challenges the much stronger behemoth to a strength test. Sense continues to scoff as he lurches forward, answering the challenge with a giant kitchen sink to the midsection. Joe has no time to respond as the giant running knee connects and he flips over the blow unto his back. Joe tries to immediately sit up but Sense drops a huge standing elbow drop to his chest, quickly getting back to his feet to deliver a second, followed by a third and then ending with a fourth. Sense then kneels before Everyman, facepalms him with one hand, lifts his head a couple of feet off the ground before planting it back into the mat with so much force the ring actually shakes. Sense then mounts Joe and delivers lefts and rights in a ground and pound that seems to never let up.}Terri Morasco: This is a mugging. Shouldn't the ref stop this? Vasco Dias: Not if he wants to continue collecting paychecks. He better give these wrestlers some freedom. {Lex is hitting hooks after hook until growing bored and simply repositioning himself to make a pin, pushing down on his chest as though executing push-ups on Joe's downed body and 1... JOE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Sense doesn't look surprised as his smirk tales the tell of someone that is happy to continue the beating. Sense gets back to a vertical base, pulling Joe with him before throwing him into the corner. Joe's feet launch off the floor as his back collides with the turnbuckles with such force that blood shoots out of Joe's mouth. Sense follows this with a huge rib-crushing corner body splash. Joe leans on Sense as he pulls away slightly, clearly in dire straits and would've most likely faceplanted on the floor if Sense wasn't standing there. Sense hugs his little buddy, patting the back of his head and mouthing the words, "Everything will be alright". The crowd is booing horrendously, all the negative feedback feeding Sense's drive as he pulls Joe off of him just to deliver a stiff cutting European uppercut that levels Joe, sending him plummeting, banging his head on each turnbuckle before coming to rest with a sitdown against the bottom turnbuckle. Sense then motions his hands like a conductor to an orchestra as the crowd is a chorus of displeased noise.}Vasco Dias: Lex is one hell of a unique monster. I have never seen anybody like him. Terri Morasco: Anybody? More like anything. I wouldn't want to be left alone in a room with him. Vasco Dias: I hear that's how ladies get pregnant. {Sense takes his time taunting a crowd that has begun to cheer out of blue. Lex wonders why for a second before turning to find Joe pulling himself back to a standing position. Sense shakes his head, chuckling slightly before charging into him head-on without a care in the world which proves to be a mistake as Joe hits a perfectly executed standing dropkick dead on in the center of his massive chest. Sense stumbles back after the blow and Joe hurries back to his feet to take advantage and assaults Sense with a flurry of left and rights, kicks to the stomach and knees, chest chops, anything he could use to hit Sense in any place that wont get him disqualified. Sense is surprised as he takes blow after blow but the man only stumbles into a corner and never once did it look like he was on the verge of tipping over.}Terri Morasco: Nothing technical about a good old fashioned slugfest but I think we could forgive him this one time. Vasco Dias: You could but I wont. It's going to take a whole lot of wrestling to finally put Sense down and I'm not too sure Joe has anything left in the tank. {Sense is cornered and The American Dream is relentless in his physical beatdown only now it seems he's directed his line of sight towards the big man's knees. Boot after boot connects with Lex's right knee until Sense finally comes around and leans in with a headbutt. Joe is immediately dazed, backpedaling far enough for Sense to burst out of the corner with a big boot that takes Everyman off his feet. Joe writhes around as Sense angrily stomps around, limping a bit as he recovers quickly from the assault. An enraged Lex goes back on the attack, wrapping both meaty paws around Joe's throat as he lays on the mat. Lex rips him off of his back and straight into the air with a Standing Double Armed Chokehold. The ref begins his count for an illegal submission as Joe's feet dangle beneath him desperately reaching for the ground. The ref is nearing 5 when Everyman comes to life and raises both legs and shotguns them straight into Sense's chest. Lex drops Joe back to his knees as he stumbles back into the ropes. Joe looks to be gasping for air but he pushes through it and launches himself into Lex using his whole body as a weapon in some type of crossbody that sends both men over the ropes to the outside. However, as Joe smacks the ringside floor hard, Sense somehow flips back to his feet and only stumbles against the announcer's table.}Vasco Dias: Lex hasn't been off his feet once in this match. It doesn't appear he is too winded after a grueling match earlier. Terri Morasco: He can take massive amounts of punishment and I think his recovery rate is the fastest I have ever seen. Joe needs to try something new here. {Though still standing, the small of Lex's back did collide with the table's edge. He reaches back for it in pain as Joe pushes through with everything he's got and gets behind Sense, propelling him forward head first into the steel post. Lex stumbles back looking concussed after headbutting steel but is still able to stop Joe from doing it a second time by rearing a back elbow to his temple. Everyman takes a few steps away, leaning against the announcer's table for support. Sense shakes the cobwebs and lumbers towards Joe, going to grab him from behind when Everyman strikes out of nowhere with an "EKO" (RKO)! Somehow Sense ends up lying on top of the table after the maneuver, completely in dreamsville. Joe notices the ref's count nearing 10 so he quickly slides back in to break it by shoving the ref by his collar and telling him to stop.}Vasco Dias: Joe better stop before he finds himself disqualified. Earlier he was more than willing to win with a 10 count and now that doesn't seem good enough. Terri Morasco: He's been outspoken about beating Lex legitimately in the ring. I don't think he wants to do it by countout. {Joe hurries towards the corner with something in mind and quickly ascends them, standing on the top turnbuckle and staring out into a crowd that is going wild. Sense is still shaking off the effects on top of the table and spots Joe but it is too late as Everyman flies across the air with a picture perfect "Swanton Bomb" that smashes Sense through the announcer's table! Joe looks to have taken some damage from the spectacular move but Sense took the brunt of it. Both men lay on the ringside floor on top of ruined metal and wood as the crowd starts up an IWF chant. Luckily, Terri and Vasco got out of the way in time.}Terri Morasco: Looks like we wont be working with our monitors from now on. That was effing crazy! Vasco Dias: I'm a purist when it comes to wrestling but that was one amazing display of athleticism. {The ref isn't even counting as he looks absolutely stunned by what he just saw. Sense, somehow, is still the first to crawl out of the wreckage but for the first time he doesn't looked as confident as he once was. Sense uses both hands and pushes himself to a standing position, seemingly getting ready to go back and pull Joe out when Everyman shoots out of the wreckage with a lightning quick "BANG!" (CDK Gore)! Sense finds himself once again on his back but Joe is looking rather winded as he is giving it his all to push the giant to his limits. Sense writhes around, as Joe uses the apron's edge to get back to a standing position. The ref looks to be in the middle of a double countout and Joe sees that Sense is actually having a hard time so he reaches down and musters up the strength to lift the deadweight of Lex. Joe struggles but eventually he slides the big man back into the ring, sliding in right after to hook the leg and 1... SENSE BENCHPRESSES JOE OFF OF HIM!}Vasco Dias: Not even a two count but Joe is definitely not making it easy on Sense. Terri Morasco: Agreed. This fight is no longer one sided. {Joe seems a bit frustrated as Sense turns over to get back to a vertical base. Everyman gets to his feet and begins laying in stomps in a futile effort to keep Sense from standing. Lex's body is clearly bruised and welted but the 7 foot train of pain will not be derailed as he raises both hands from a kneeling position and then shoves them into Joe's chest, pushing him into the ropes which he rebounds off of right into a rising clothesline that sends Joe head over heels back to the mat. Lex doesn't look too pleased as a primal scream proceeds the grabbing of a prone Joe's legs. Lex then wraps them securely around his head and with a show of raw power, Sense deadlifts Joe into the air before bringing him slamming back down to the mat with a Powerbomb! Sense doesn't let go as he deadlifts once again and then drills him to the mat with a second Powerbomb! Sense repeats the cycle for a third time, completing his "Top to Bottom" {Triple Powerbombs)! Sense then goes for the Jackknife Pin and 1... 2... JOE KICKS OUT!} Vasco Dias: Didn't expect that. Joe is really giving 110 percent tonight.
Terri Morasco: Are you listening to this crowd? They have rallied behind Joe. This is incredible.{Sense rises to his feet with so much rage that the ref quickly slides out of the ring before an argument over the count can even begin. Sense shakes his head in disbelief as he stares down at his former partner, proudly smirking at the little fella's fortitude. However, that admiration quickly washes away as Sense reaches down and rips Joe off the floor. In one fluid motion Everyman goes from prone to on top of Sense's shoulder's in a Fireman's Carry. Lex looks to be going for his "Left Senseless Driver" but Joe refuses to lie down and die as he kicks out his own legs until slipping behind Sense, making sure his arm wrapped around the giant's face, bending him back and then drilling him to the mat with a Reverse DDT! The ring shakes as Sense frustratingly finds himself pained and on the ground. Joe forces his feet under him, hurrying to get around to Sense's legs, grabbing them as he looks to lock in his "Streets of Gold" (Haas of Pain).}Terri Morasco: Is Joe really going for what I think he is going for?
Vasco Dias: Nothing better to slay a giant than a well executed submission on the legs.{Joe is attempting to tie Sense's legs up, however, the task is too much and Sense comes around, snapping his legs forward and sending Joe chest first into the turnbuckles. Everyman backpedals out of the corner in pain with his arms crossed over his chest right into Lex's waiting hands who crosses his arms over Joe's and then snaps him back with a "Straightjacket" (X-Plex)! Sense actually bridges for the cover and 1... 2... 3-NO! JOE SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY FINDS THE WILL TO KICKOUT!}Terri Morasco: Holy smokes! This may be the match of the year right here.
Vasco Dias: He may be standing up to a giant, Terri, but no way Joe has much more left in the tank.{Sense is now clearly frustrated, enraged at the what he considers to be a slow count. The ref stands his ground from a distance and Sense has had just about enough of it all. Sense rises with intensity burning in his eyes, his intentions set on ending this. As he grabs Joe by the arm and pulls him to his feet he finds Joe has little fight left in him. Sense Irish Whips him into the ropes. Joe rebounds right into Sense who catches, lifts and then twists Joe's body, going for the "Lex Marks the Spot" (AA Spinebuster) but Joe comes to life and counters at the last second with one hell of an "Aurora Driver" (Leaping Reverse STO)!}Vasco Dias: Joe won earlier with that very move and now it seems he might do it again.{A winded Joe turns over on top of Sense and goes for the cover and 1... 2... 3-NO! SENSE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! A disappointed crowd voices it's frustration as Sense rolls unto his stomach while Joe pulls at his hair looking absolutely bewildered.} Terri Morasco: Sense is dangerously durable and he doesn't look too happy now.{Joe just doesn't know what to do as Sense gets on all fours, on his way to getting to his feet. Everyman begins kicking at Sense's head but nothing is stopping him from rising. Joe goes for a leg drop to the back of the head but Sense rolls out of the way and back to his feet. Joe stays seated for a second after the miss, a pained expression plastered on his face. Joe goes to stand but once he finds himself on his feet, Sense runs him over with a rushing double axe handle. Everyman falls flat on his back but he doesn't stay down for long as Sense rips him off the mat and then pitches him into the corner. Sense runs towards a cornered Joe going for a a huge body splash but Joe slips through the ropes to the apron. Sense collides chest-first into the turnbuckles while simultaneously Joe is climbing the ropes from the apron. Lex stumbles back just enough for Everyman to come flipping over him off the top rope with a Blockbuster! The back of Sense's neck snaps off the mat and in a confused state, he begins pushing himself back to his feet, completely unaware of where Joe was in the ring. Joe waits for the opportune time before locking in a Guillotine as Sense was keeled over in the process of standing before swiftly dropping him cold with a "Twist of Fate"! Joe works to push Sense unto his back, hooking the leg as an excited crowd counts along and 1... 2... SENSE RAISES THE SHOULDER BUT IS HALF A SECOND TOO LATE SO 3!}Terri Morasco: Two upsets in one night! Joe Everyman is our first ever Imperial Champion and the world never saw it coming. What an exciting time to "Believe in Joe".
Vasco Dias: I am absolutely speechless right now. After a grueling tournament that Sense dominated we find ourselves with a champion that nobody predicted. What an amazing night, and I always wanted to say this.... THE CROWD GOES WILD!!{"Live to Rise" hits the speakers as Joe looks stunned that he actually pulled out the victory. Red, white and blue confetti begins to fall from the rafters as Joe sits up, tears streaming down his face in utter disbelief. The referee comes around to reassure Joe that he has one by raising his arm and then handing him the Imperial Championship Title. Joe clutches it, kissing it as some fans in the crowd actually join him in crying while others chant his name.}Terri Morasco: What a beautiful sight!{Joe forgets about the pain he has endured and hops to his feet, heading towards a corner and climbing it, holding the belt high into the air as the crowd cheers so loud they could probably hear it from space. Joe hops back down and turns to find Sense towering over him... Joe clutches the belt as though Lex was going to steal it from him, ready to continue the fight if he had to.}Vasco Dias: I don't think Sense is going to give him this moment.{The mood is tense as the crowd quiets down unsure of what is going to occur. Sense lifts his hand as though he is going to deck Joe in the mouth but instead extends it and offers it to Joe.}Vasco Dias: What a show of sportsmanship. Really classy coming from someone like Sense.{Joe is apprehensive but after a second he clutches it and shakes it. Sense shakes back as he gives him a respectful nod before stepping over of the ropes to the outside of the ring, leaving Joe to continue celebrating. Joe is ecstatic as he stares at his well deserved reward when from behind, Xander Famularo appears and takes Joe for a trip with the "Metal Health" (Backdrop Driver)! Xander rises to his feet and kicks the trinket away as he points down to Joe and mouths some obscenities before dropping down and delivering fist after fist to a downed Joe.}Vasco Dias: Looks like the target on Joe's back did not take long to activate.
Terri Morasco: This is absolutely disgusting! Joe has had one hard night and now a vulture Xander attacks him from behind...{Halfway up the ramp, Sense looks at the jumbotron and sees Xander delivering a beating to Joe. The crowd goes wild as Sense runs back into the ring and yanks Xander off of Joe, standing over the newly crowned champion like a guard protecting his quarterback. Xander clearly tells Sense that he is not here for him, pointing to Joe to reveal his intentions. Sense doesn't move and Xander begins to back out of the ring.}Terri Morasco: Looks like EverySense is not dead after all.{Joe, refusing to let his big moment end with him on the floor uses the ropes to stand, noticing that Sense is protecting him. He thanks Lex and Sense goes to retrieve the belt, handing it back to Joe who he pats on the back as Xander slowly backs up the ramp with a big smile on his face as he points back at the pair in the ring. }Vasco Dias: Well, this is a touching moment, Lex is going to let Joe have his moment no matter what it seems.{ Joe thanks Lex again and continues to celebrate, the barricades being little defence to a few bold fans who hop into the ring and rush to Joe, surrounding the man who has accomplished his dream tonight. Lex gets out of the way as they raise him onto their shoulders and the security hang back slightly to let them parade Joe around the ring as he visibly is so touched emotionally by the outpouring of sheer joy over his monumental achievement. }Terri Morasco: I can't express in words how special this moment is.Vasco Dias: Perhaps, but Joe is out of the frying pan and into the fire here, Xander has his eyes on him after destroying Xavier Cross earlier.Terri Morasco: Let's just let him live in this moment Vasco, congratulations to a guy with a whole lot of heart.{ Xander has finally disappeared but our final shot of the evening is Joe being thrown up in the air and caught by his adoring fans but being watched very, very attentively by Lex Sense who smiles at his friend, but is his delight genuine? Lineage closes an absolutely epic night which has made history and shocked the world. }
